The relationship between the boy and his father in this book is wonderful. The boy with his additional needs and the fathers willingness to fight for him.
This book left me a bit Bewildered if I’m honest. I loved it as much as I didn’t…I don’t know how to explain it because I’m not sure I even fully understood some aspects of the book, it was as simple as it was complex! The book is futuristic in a present sense & otherworldly in an earthly sense…I think it just went over my head in some ways with all the scientific language and the planet explanations!
The ending is both sad and hopeful at the same time!
