The book was much better than the movie. A little wordy, a warning for those fearful of frequent use of large words in novels; but a good storyline if your able to stick with it.

I blew off this book as soon as Clooney and Fox Hollywood-ized it, but after reading other Lem books I returned to Solaris and realised what a snobby mistake I had been making. Even for a non sci-fan like myself, Lem is a brilliant read and this book is one of his very best.

I actually liked the movie more, I think, although the writing was very good and different than most science fiction stories.
