I scanned some other reviews and mine isn't going to be terribly original. I agree with the view that this should barely be considered a novel. It is a book about the human experience, framed in a day in the lives of some astronauts on the internatio ...more
I Heard There Was a Secret Chord by Daniel J. Levitin
