The Sparrow by Mary Doria Russell


My rating: 2 of 5 stars
I was intrigued when I started this book. It is the year 2060 and Emilio Sanchez just returned from a mission to another planet. Something terrible has happened and he is being investigated. Sounds good. But it takes a realllllllyyy long time to get there. On top of that, the ending is just plain ridiculous. I found many of the deaths to be very anticlimactic after how long it took to get there, and the whole reason for going to the other planet (music? seriously?) seemed so stupid to me. I thought it could've been something great for me, but it wasn't.
