Summary: A great science-fiction book for everyone!
Review: The Golden Aquarians is a great science-fiction book that is a great book that anyone would enjoy, even people who do not regularly like science-fiction books! Walt Elliot is sent with his father, Colnel Elliot, a terraformer, to the planet Aqua to terraform it. Walt ends up finding some intelligent life on Aqua. They are frog-like creatures. Aqua seemed to everyone else thougt that it was a dull planet that was full of awful rainy weather. Walt explores it and experiences the "real" Aqua which is full of life. This is a great book that is a definate page turner. Read it!

Summary: I cried reading a science fiction book: READ IT!!!
Review: This is a great book. I really love it. I couldn't believe though when what was supposed to be a review from the booklist and American Library Association said that it was good except for "Although Hughes draws the father's character in rather broad strokes and gives him amnesia in the end, other aspects of the novel are quite satisfying." I have lots of trouble explaining this book to friends, because they think that it's all alien stuff. I think that the major focus is the theme that underlies the plot, involving Walt's relationship with his dad. I love the ending, it gave me so much joy and comfort. I even cried. I just ask people looking at this book to enjoy the science fiction, or not, but read the book anyway. You will learn something about family and yourself, guaranteed.
