This book review of Albion's Seed by David Fischer (which I've also recently read and reviewed) was actually the essay that first introduced me to the book and convinced me to read it, and now, having read the original and then re-read the essay, I can say that I'm very grateful to S.A. for introducing me to the book, but that you really can stick to his essay and skip the thousand-pager, thereby proving the truism that most books ought to be essays (and most essays, tweets).
Both the sci-fi elements and the scientist characters are really fun and involving in this carl sagan book adaptation - but on the other hand the love interest is really annoying and the movie should’ve been 30 minutes shorter.
