I never considered my self a sci-fi fan but this book may have changed my mind. I can not believe there has not been a movie based on this book. I connected with the "Man from Mars" Michael. Being raised on Mars on having no ideas of what it is like to be human/earthling, the confusion and eagerness to fit in. The struggles to connect his Maritan understanding of life, right and wrong, relationships with his new life and family on earth. I love the concept of "water brothers" and "thou art god". The book was very though provoking and offers a new perspective on how to view life, love, religion, death, property, wealth, everything it is be be human.
