I was caught off guard by the humor in this book. I didn't expect it but I really needed it at the time; 3 dark books in a row, combined with heavy matters in my own life had left me a little down, though it also made me tear up toward the end, which I also didn't se coming (but should have).

I was reminded a bit of James Blish's "A Case of Conscience,"  not in the writing style, but in the subject matter; science meets theology.
