I mean incredible in the "Oh my God! This book is awesome!" sense, which it isn't. It's good, but it's not jaw-dropping good.

Also, I picked up Existence from the library this morning. It's 556 pages of small print. I'm not sure I'm going to be able to read this without my eyes crossing.

Edit: I took a break from reading Existence to read Brin's short story The Crystal Spheres which explains why we don't see a million alien civilizations in the universe already. Well worth the 99 cents.
