Childhood's End

Why such low ratings? Christ this is one of the best books I have read in my life! It kept my heart beat faster from the moment it started till the very last word. This is an absolute terrifying story where you witness things happen and there is no way to go back. It keeps you guessing what when and why. I personally had two theories, both of them false. If you read 'On the beach' then this book delivers an ending that is ten times worse. It leaves you with a sense of total helplessness and hopelessness. No it doesn't answer all questions but that's the beauty of it. Hopefully, when you have read it, you'll share my enthusiasm for it. P.S. People who have watched the movie are complaining about this book. Well let me tell you something - the movie by Syfy is so bad it turns everything in the book around. It leaves nothing for your imagination and uses the same terrible cliche of being loaded with emotions. That's all you see in the movie - emotions. There are unforgivable mistakes in the movie that take away the logic that the book so beautifully presents. The first episode is kind of ok but the next two are tragically bad.

Best sci-fi books I've read, amazingly Clarke main road ideas doesn't break with time, where reading something in War of the world's does. The idea of alien controlling human just to ensure the end complies with their own master is interesting... another page turner for me

I can only dream our races fate is something as profound as this story invisions. To know we are not alone and that the universe is stranger then we imagine. Arthur you have ever rocked my mind once again
