This has plenty of Space Adventuring in it, but it's also incredibly lyrical, thought-provoking, and melancholy. Leo's anticipation of and arrival on Earth was my favorite part of the book; his excitement and wonder over gravity, running water, etc. reminded me how much we take for granted on this planet.
The style of the prose seriously bugged me for the first 50 pages or so -- Leo's voice dictates i for I, c for see, u for you, 1 for one -- but I eventually got used to it. Not my favorite stylistic choice, but it didn't detract from the whole of the book.
