5.0 out of 5 stars The Big Eye, April 8, 2004

This review is from: The big eye (Mass Market Paperback)

I was given this book by my high school English teacher in 1972 as a graduation present. I read it in one night and have been re-reading ever since. I have this book to be almost prophetic in rose colored sort of way. It united the world when all seemed lost and held the unity even after the truth was learned.
I would love to see this book made into well directed and acted movie. Thank you.

5.0 out of 5 stars My gateway to sci-fi, March 21, 2010

This review is from: The Big Eye (Doubleday Science Fiction) (Hardcover)

This book belonged to my grandmother; I remember reading this when I was in 6th grade, and now at 38, I vividly remember it and am grateful I finally remembered the name so I could find it here.

This is the book I credit for introducing me to the sci-fi genre - something that's stayed with me all these years. I've never forgotten the haunting choice that the main character made that made such a huge impact. Interesting in reading the other reviews that this book has touched other people similarly. ;) Highly recommend this read!

5.0 out of 5 stars A book I will never forget, July 30, 2005

By 

Julie (Ottawa, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Big Eye (Doubleday Science Fiction) (Hardcover)

I read this book years ago when I was a teenager. And like the previous reviewer, this book was given to me. It was very special as it was one of a collection that belonged to a grandfather I never got to meet. The memory of that story has stayed with me, even haunted me all these years. Unfortunately I don't know what happened to my copy and even my local library system doesn't carry it so I will have to track one down to read it again. I do agree that it would be great to see this book made into a movie.
