Kalandai doesn’t seem to be part of the group but her review fits in. I like this group review by the Science Fiction Alliance. Do we waste our time by reading books that aren’t worth discussing?. Are novels merely Rorschach tests or do novelists have something specific to say?. Have these reviewers found insights I missed?. Are the value or faults of novels entirely subjective?. Are there flaws that all readers can perceive?. Are there positive qualities that all readers can recognize?. Will these reviewers change how I reread The Sparrow?. Are reviewers too easy or hard on books?. Watching these reviewers has brought up a number of questions for me: I’ve changed, society has changed, and maybe it will be a different reading experience for me this time. 
But it’s over a quarter of a century old, and it’s been eighteen years since I last read it. The Sparrow is on the Classics of Science Fiction list with 23 citations. I don’t remember thinking about those criticisms when I read The Sparrow. He had very specific criticisms, some of which I’ve made against other books. Bookpilled is my favorite science fiction reviewer on YouTube and he did not like the book. I’m afraid I’m going to have to study these reviews carefully and reread The Sparrow.
