⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ To the Audiobook! They did an amazing job. Im not sure what it would be like to read the actual book, but the audiobook is great.
Like the show This is Us makes you feel all the feelings, the books brings all the feelings out of you as well. It's so innocent and cute!
2023 re-listen- still 5 stars

Middle school appropriate. Eleven year old narrator which always brings up the reliability issue. Love the medium of iPod voice memos. Great for kids who loved Wonder and are more advanced readers. The inferences are probably difficult to understand for struggling readers. Great for kids who love or science cross curricular.
Nothing I could possibly say could do this book justice. Please listen to it, if you do choose to add it to your list. It’s perfect on audio.

boy oh boy. i ADORE this book. i cry every time i think about it. first of all, alex is like my son. i must protect him from all evil. he’s such a sweetheart and i just cried with his very existence. he’s the sweetest boy ever. and the way he treated his mom in the first few pages had me sobbing for hours.
he truly deserves the world.
carl sagan is such a precious dog. i just want to give him a hug (and to alex too of course).
the book had me crying from beginning to end mostly because alex is such a precious child and i love how he sees the world and how he recorded things and everything.
i loved his relationship with every character; specially with his mom since he truly truly cares about her.
i loved how he made friends along the way that helped him out with everything. i wish i could know what happened to the older kid though, i hope he’s okay.
i was sobbing my heart out when he got injured and had to not read for a few hours because i was so traumatized from it. it hurt my soul that he was hurt and in the hospital for that injury.
i’m so glad that they found car sagan. i was worried all the time about what happened to him. and i loved the friendship he has with alex.
the only thing that truly saddens me though is that the recordings stopped before the launch. i wish i could see how he reacted to it. and how his mom was doing and if he made voyager 4 for the next rocket festival. i just never wanted the book to end.
i’m so happy that he found what he was looking for and that he has a family now.
i just really love alex so much and i really really really wish i could read more about him. this book is one of my all time favorites now. and if i could, i would give it a million stars out of 5.
love you, alex, thank you for that wonderful adventure with your golden ipod.

The audiobook gets annoying with the "New recording" bit but was very well done.
Overall the book is excellent. Being a space nerd myself, it made me cry, more or less.
Knjiga mi je bila dosti všeč, ker se v niej veliko dogaja. Ves čas te drži v napetosti in zmeraj kadar misliš, da zdaj pa bo njihovo življenje spet normalno stekli naprej, se zopet zgodi nekaj povsem nepričakovanega.
Na začetku knjige, ko se Aleks odpravi sam na vlak, spozna nekega starejšega moškega, za katerega nikoli ne izvemo kdo točno je in to je edina stvar, ki me v tej knjigi moti.
Sicer pa bi pohvalila pisatelja Chenga, za idejo zapisa knjige v obliki posnetkov. Enkrat v prihodnosti bi si zelo rada ogledala tudi film, ker bi ga tako lahko primerjala s knjigo.

Highly recommend the audio version (he is recording on an Ipod after all). Listening to this with my son was a great experience.

Mukava, positiivinen nuortenkirja, jonka luin kaverin suosittelemana.
Kuuntelemme 11-vuotiaan Alexin tallenteita kultaiselta iPodilta, jonka hän aikoo lähettää avaruuteen omatekemän raketin kyydissä avaruusolioiden kuunneltavaksi.
Kirja käsittelee vakavampiakin aiheita kuten mielenterveyttä ja ihmissuhteita, mutta kirja on kevyttä lukemista avaruushullun Alexin positiivisesta näkökulmasta. Paljon jätetään myös arvailun varaan.
Tämä ei mielestäni toiminut äänikirjana, vaikka olisi voinut olla todella hyvä kuunnelmana, jossa on ääniefektit ja useita näyttelijöitä.
