3rd read through:
Just as relevant and affecting as always.
2nd read through:
Perks of running your own book club include choosing to make your favorite book the selection. Did this novella get even favorit-er the second time around? Yes. Yes, it did. This post-dystopian world and its characters are so full of hope. Everything is three dimensional and lush and I love it so much.
Probably going to read this one again. and again.
1st read through:
Wow.
This was incredible.
The writing was delicious, the analogies delightful...I was just drawn in. There was a moment so devastating I had to stop reading for a few days. That being said, I want to live in this story. It made me fall in love with spaceflight all over again. The scientific considerations seemed probable, I learned things about space, and excellent ethical quandaries never hurt anyone.
You have to accept the fact that any movement creates waves, and the only other option is to lie still and learn nothing.
