Mr. Shits's review of Rendezvous with Rama
Rendezvous with Rama by Arthur C. Clarke
This was a very easy read for me, I consumed it in 3 slow days at work during the holidays. There is a lot of hard science in it but it doesn't bury you in all the details, which is good. His science is only a few hundred years in the future and all is totally plausible, there was no magic future science like artificial gravity. One example was that humans on different worlds could not easily visit other planets whose mass differed too much, the gravity change would be too much to take. The author was very skilled at painting the visuals he wanted you to see, so much that recalling scenes in the book is as though I saw the movie.
As far as theme, it really gets you thinking about how similar yet very different alien life/intelligence in the universe would be like.
