Favorite Part
Pathos-My favorite part was when they met their dead parents and the first astronauts to be in space, he has an emotional talk with people that he looked up to or loved; this one scene is what made this book more interesting and worthwhile. My recommendation is a 4.9 star, this is another book by the author of bestseller Rocket Boys also another amazing book.
Why its good
Ethos-I have read many and many books but by far this is probably one of the best books because mixes in a lot of aspects and genres,it also leaves you with a cliffhanger when Crescent tells Crater that she was also programmed to die.You can trust me when it comes to books, I am what you call a bookworm, people that read a lot and sometimes for many hours or even days.
