This book is garbage. It has the narrative equivalent of the movie The Martian, but this time the main character has no character whatsoever, but has been dosed with mutant verbal diarrhoea before being shot out to the far reaches of space, some stuff happens, he plays with a whistling cockroach for a while and flings back to earth. It’s dull and tedious. The constant wheeling out of his amazing science knowledge becomes as boring as watching plates of sushi roll by on a sushi train. It’s mildly interesting at first because there are so many different plates, then you realise that is all that will happen for the duration of your visit and you’re stuck there for hours. Don’t pick it up, don’t spend a cent, don’t even borrow it from your free local library. If I could give it zero stars, I would.
