Really enjoyable read. I’m a newbie at the genre but this book grabbed my attention from the beginning. The premise roused my interested, the mention of pop culture such as movies/tv shows, books and music is delightful across the story and the you are made to feel like you’re side by side the characters. A book to be reread and annotated in the future.

A fairly straightforward and light sci-fi tale. Easy to read and briskly paced. None of the characters are fleshed out in much detail, but it’s not that type of story. 

It does have a fairly standard twist/reveal at the end that unfortunately, isn’t really delved into with much depth. Perhaps setting up the story for a sequel.

This is how most sentences look like. 
Chewbacca ran over to me and gave me a huge five - kind of like in the movie Star Wars made in 1977 which was made by George Lucas who is now a millionare who doesn't make good movies anymore but I still like his original star wars but I do have to say that his big hit was the Star Wars prequels because they are obviously so amazing because I am a connoisseur of movie - and we continue to walk across the desolate wasteland like astronauts walking across a desolate wasteland.


Note:
I read this book along side listening to the podcast 372 Pages.
