| Liked it but did not love it. The novel is beautifully written and the characters are all engaging, but up until the end it doesn't become a convincing whole. For most of the novel's first half, there is barely any plot, and while some of the differe ...more | |

| An excellent novel, an existentialist fable that stubbornly refuses to give you any answers. Which very much feels like the point - in my reading, the book is about finding meaning and purpose in an absurd nihilist world, and it does so beautifully. ...more | |
"You have to read with the idea that this novel is plotless. The richness of the book lies in its prose and the description of the universe.
The book follows the day of six astronauts in a mission. While I was reading it, I felt deeply immerse in the " Read more of this review » |
