WHAT
An anthropological account of a man visiting an alien planet. Learn about its flora, the native tribes custom's, how much they differ from us even in the way of thinking, and other textbook boring subjects.

ANALYSIS
This is not my kind of book. The prose is dry, the characters are not relevant. It is a novel where the “setting” is king, and I was not fond of its majesty.

Other reviewers point out that by the end of the book there is a message about mankind's flaws or something. I could struggle to get there, since its is a very short book. But I choose to spend my next two hours reading something else.
