How are ratings calculated?
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyses reviews to verify trustworthiness.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good book - shame about the proofreading
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 July 2014

This is a really good and well written story that is relevant today as it was 30 years ago.... but... the typesetting and spell-checking is dreadful: it looks as though it has been left to a computer program to format and hasn't been proofread afterwards.

I know it's blasphemy to say the film is better than the book, but, jeez..I loved the film so I thought I would check the book out, it was very disappointing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sagan's words from the past are as relevant as ever.
Reviewed in the United States on 21 February 2021
Verified Purchase
This was one of my favorite books as a teenager so I could not bring myself to buy the movie edition.

This is listed as a book club edition but I can't see anything on it that differs from the first edition. I suspect it may be an actual first edition but that's not important to me if it is or is not.

It was listed as "New" and being that it's 35 years old I was shocked this book actually arrived new. It looked like it had never been touched.

This was required reading for my daughter's school. I bought the book used. Was pleasantly surprised that the book was hardback (I was expecting paperback) and in wonderful condition. I also received it alot sooner than expected.

5.0 out of 5 stars a must read for any sci fi fan, or amateur comologist
Reviewed in the United States on 1 April 2016

This is a rare case where the movie is a as good as the book. They can be very different in key areas, like most good book/movie comparisons. But the book definitely stands on its own. One of the last projects from the great Carl Sagan this is a must read for any sci fi fan, or amateur cosmologist.
