cristi_ivan 's review for:
See You in the Cosmos
by Jack Cheng
The story of an extremely lucky 11-years-old boy, who talks to some guys on an adult online chat, decides to travel alone to a convention to meet them, befriends some other guys there and then leaves with them to Las Vegas. In real life, he would be dead before the first third of the book.
Alex is one die-hard fan of space and subsequently of Carl Sagan. Such a big fan, he actually named his dog Carl Sagan. The book is written as an iPod recording Alex wants to send into space with his first rocket, with the purpose to teach the extraterrestrials more about the human race – similar to the Golden Record, included aboard both Voyager spacecrafts, launched in the 70s.
The beginning felt pretty much in the same style as “The Curios Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time”, but afterwards it evolved much better than the latter. Alex is a much more likable character and the overall story has a comforting effect. Considering the fact that I gave 2 stars to the “Curios Case...”, definitely I should give more to “See you in the Cosmos”. *** stars.
