Are we reading the same book? I found the plot predictable and derivative (hunting crystals based on old prophecies? How many times have I seen that? A talking space ship? Try Anne McCaffrey's Ship Who Sang for size), the characters one-dimensional (a single trait, like curiosity, doesn't make a character), the various planets lacking imagination (not even a few good aliens, simply blown-up earth creatures like sharks and tigers) and the science fiction elements ludicrous. They kill a sabre-tooth tiger, skin it, dry it in front of the fire and make warm, snuggly cloaks for the team from it the next morning? Boy, it must have smelt! They flit between planets in 20 to 30 minutes, yet Solaris takes minutes (yes, minutes) to compare two crystals. Come on, get with it!
