Book Review of The Sparrow (Sparrow, Bk 1)

The Sparrow (Sparrow, Bk 1)
Helpful Score: 1


This was a memorable book- I read it years ago and still remember it and think about it occasionally. It was painful to read at times (I won't say why because I don't want to spoil it), but in the end uplifting. Admirable and brave characters, and a glimpse of a different world.

Story of how when an intelligent signal from space was heard, while scientists were discussng what to do, the Jesuits sent a small group of mismatched folks, including a priest, up to the planet to investigate the signal.
