This novel has many great and fascinating ideas in it about the nature of life, the universe, and everything. Far, far too many ideas.
Many of the ideas are still being talked about in modern cosmology. But with a few exceptions (e.g. expanding universe) there is little evidence for any of them.
Fascinating in small doses. Pretty tough to get through the whole thing.
Easier to read than Eureka: A Prose Poem by Edgar Allan Poe, but that's not saying much!

I guess, Ed, that I am glad I did not pursue this (too bad I bought a copy.) I just couldn't face another slog after slogging through At the Mountains of Madness. I'm sure glad you read it for me, and thanks so much for the review, er, uh, warning!

It is really kind of cool. Just a slow read.
Sometime when I have a slow day or two, then
I agree completely. Interesting visions, but tough to get through. Ok in small doses. I got 40% through and haven't gone back yet.
