Like others I was disappointed with the execution of this book. I love the idea behind it and think the theme of getting past our differences for the good of the planet is a noble one, but the writing itself is a little hard to digest. Some of the descriptions are unnecessarily long and seem to ramble on for pages when just a paragraph or two would do. Also, at times it seemed like I was beaten over the head with the same detail over and over. I don't know how many times various aspects of the technology were described as "futuristic" or the ships were described as some type of shark or whale shaped. It was hard for me to lose myself in the book because of this redundancy and definitely took away from what flow this book possessed. I forced myself to finish this book and it did get better once I got into it a little, but overall it wasn't one of my most enjoyable reads. ]]>
