I ate this book up. Anything Rocky was super cool. Loved when he was learning the his. Enjoyed the way the author approached the alien civilization, including what's very different between the races and what would be similar. The explanation for why Rocky had so much astrophage was neat. My one gripe is when the MC finds out he didn't willingly go on the ship, I wish he was more upset about it. It took Rocky to cheer him up once to completely absolve the matter. This was such a huge plot point from his past, feels a little quick to just heal it through the 'Power of Friendship!'. Still, the author made a fan out of me. So much so I read The Martian after. Skeptical how they're going to do the movie, I'm sure I'll be disappointed. We'll see!
