I was really disappointed by this one. I love these kind of cerebral psychological thrillers set in space like the classic "Event Horizon" or even "Sphere" even those Sphere is set in the deep ocean, same concept. I found myself skipping over large sections of this book (which I try to never ever do) because of the long and rambling information he gave while trying to give background information on Solaris. The author has the main character reading verbatim out of research books on Solaris subjects. It's a little ridiculous after a while when it goes on and on and on for 5-10 pages. I really enjoyed the actual story once it got into it, but there were some major loopholes (like what happened to the Haley in the rocket?) and it ended feeling unfinished. I just felt dissatisfied by the whole thing. Disappointment.
