It was all right, but nothing special. The writing style was fine in my opinion; it was easy and quite pleasant to read. The main problem I had with this book was that I wasn't able to suspend my disbelief. I constantly questioned the characters' motivations and the plausibility of the imagined world. If I were physically able to raise my eyebrow, it would have been raised at least a dozen times. I didn't expect the ending as it was, but it wasn't satisfying. At least the characters were mildly interesting. In my mind, the book had the potential to explore more of the psychological side of the story. It did some exploring, but ultimately, it was mostly uninspired and unsatisfying.
It's a good book for somebody who's not well accustomed to the scientific way of thinking. Personally, I didn't find many new concepts in Sagan's work. Also, the debunking of conspiracy theories seemed boring to me after a few chapters, this could have been written in another book.
