I found the main character Billy’s experience of time and space very interesting and worth contemplating, even if just to pull ourselves out of our always-linear understanding of time. I also enjoy some fantasy and worldbuilding, so his recollections of the alien planet were creative and well-received.
I did also appreciate the moral undercurrent to things that he says that are expressed as casual but read as subtly poignant.
