How did you like Arrival? I really liked the movie, so I've been thinking about giving it a try.

Hope this week goes smoother for you!

The book is a series of short stories - only one of which relates to the movie (not sure if you knew that). I enjoyed the book despite not being a big fan of short stories, but each one of these was thought-provoking in some way. I found it took me a bit longer to get through the book because I wanted time to digest each story and ponder it for a while before moving on to the next.

I loved the film Arrival, but actually saw the story from which it evolved as a different entity entirely - for me they didn't even prompt the same kind of thinking.

Speaking personally I enjoyed it and found that it prompted a lot more thinking than most of the fiction I've read of late.

That sounds like it's not quite what I was expecting but still worthwhile reading. Thank you for your answer!
