Look, I'm a simple woman - if you give me a premise of aliens coming to Earth and first contact, then this is exactly what I expect to receive. However, this novel gave me only a tiny bit of that and lots of philosophizing instead. It was fine at first but wore me down pretty quick - this very basic science 101 stuff (we are all made of microbes! language is not only talking! being lightyears away is a really long way!) is perhaps better suited for younger readers.

The strange biblical interludes were kind of far fetched and forced as well, I thought.

I did, however, appreciate the African setting and all the descriptions about that.
