My thoughts:
Light From Distant Stars was a bit of a disappointment for me. The cover is beautiful and the blurb sounded intriguing, but the story wasn't for me. When I opened the book I was so excited and the first chapter was amazing...but as I continued to read it because more and more confusing.
The story switched from current events to his memories of the past and, I've just got to say, I did not understand some of the things that happened. What was that beast? Was it real? I also didn't like the supernatural elements.
All in all, there really wasn't anything I loved about this book and that makes me sad. I've read other reviews and it seems like most people love this story, so please give it a shot if it sounds like something for you.

Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. ~ Philippians 4:8
