Contact by Carl Sagan

So I'm currently reading this book. I haven't read too much of it. I saw the movie and own it so I'm trying not to compare. I've found that the book is very different than the movie. First of all the book has a female president, then the lead character Ellie doesn't by herself discover the signal. I think I actually like the book better. I remember in college in my Astronomy class watching Cosmos with Dr. Carl Sagan in them. In his little spaceship discovering the cosmos. Those were so fun to watch.
