Granted, it's not the most captivating book ever - i'll give you that. but its sincerity of tone, its comedic confusion, its satire raise wonderful questions about the nature of art and the artist. I really enjoyed the segment when Silas O'Conner is confronted by the group of alien watchers who say they're expecting the aliens to speak through the author, and he rejects the idea that he is merely a medium through which the story can be told. i appreciate the organization of your article. i'll definitely be stopping by more often. fervent reader – i fervently disagree with your rating! i just finished this book last night and truly loved it.
