bluepolaroid 's review for:
See You in the Cosmos
by Jack Cheng
I read the entire book while I was in a waiting room, so it felt like I lived the entire adventure with Alex, it was fun, kept me entertained.
I'm not too much of a fan of books where the main character is a kid but I really enjoyed this story for a couple of reasons.
Firstly, I could feel like I was in Alex place even though I'm older than him, I don't know if it was because of the character traits or because it was narrated in recordings but I could feel clueless at times when the other people hide things from him, I was really curious and there were times when I caught myself thinking something before Alex said it, it reminded me of how it felt like to be a kid.
I think it's a very unique story because I've read books with dysfunctional families and most of the time they focus on the bad things, or how the main character feels when he has to deal with this situations, so it felt very different to see Alex's POV, because most of the time he was worried about his dog or his rocket or the recordings.
He did do some risky decisions but, I mean, he's a kid! He was pretty smart for his age but that doesn't stop him from misunderstanding, throwing tantrums and thrusting easily.
It showed me how kids see the world and it made me enjoy the book so much!
Oh, and the cover is gorgeous!
