satyridae's review
5.0
I was thrilled to find this, one of my all-time favorites, available on CD, and what's more, read by Spider Robinson himself.
This one, for me, is a touchstone, a talisman and a promise. It's one of my favorite pie-in-the-sky utopias, and I've read it countless times. Listening to Robinson read it brought a whole new perspective. His timing is impeccable, his jokes are funnier spoken, and I could really hear Charlie speaking through him. Even his goofy accents are endearing.
Highly recommended.

This review was initially written in 2012. It is not my birthday!
This is my birthday present to myself - to review one of my favourite books by my all-time favourite author. It is made more poignant by the last shuttle launch yesterday, which made me cry like a baby.
Note: The rest of this review has been withdrawn due to the changes in Goodreads policy and enforcement. You can read why I came to this decision here.

Nostalgia. This was big with me. The mad optimism of the end - science fiction spirituality - I wanted to fly in the stars too.
