MY RATING SYSTEM EXPLAINED | How I Score Sci-Fi Books

that is a book that is quite heavily focused on the big ideas it is about humans humanity's place in the universe in relation to space and time and aliens and the individual characters don't even necessarily follow stay in the book through each of the periods in the book and they're kind of just vehicles to help move those ideas along as opposed to focusing on the intricacies of those characters

our main character is darrow and it's written in the first person perspective and we spend a lot of time with his thoughts and his actions and if i didn't find the character of darrow interesting then that book is probably not going to work as well
