****
Recommendation:
I would recommend this book to people who like logical books that have out there plots. This book has lots of big words so I would recommend it to people about 16 and older. It’s an okay book with a pretty good plot. In order to like this you have to be okay with impossible things happening, because nothing in this book could happen.

Summary:
Dr. Elwin Ransom, a great linguist was an average man except for his mastery of languages. One day he was just going for a walk when he was knocked unconscious and kidnapped. When he woke up he wasn’t on earth, he was in space with two men ha had never met before. One was a rich well to do man with an adventurous mind; the other was an extremely smart physicist. He had been the one who made the spaceship that was carrying them away from earth. Once they arrived the indigenous aliens that inhabit mars are having problems. He realizes the only way to get home is to comply with the aliens and help them solve their problems. He decides to help so he can get home.

Explanation of Rating:
It was good but some of the plot is so ‘out their’ that it’s hard to comply with. The characters in it are pretty well introduced. The dialogue in some parts can confuse you. It has a little to keep up with but most people can do it. Most people will probably like this book.

Passage:
"These things are not strange, Small One, though they are beyond our senses."
It seems a little like something I would say. It makes it more real.
