review:
Short on story, long on listicles
My expectations were high after all the accolades, but although I enjoyed learning lots of what being on a space station is like, and many of Harvey’s reflections on life and the universe were poignant, I was left disappointed. I found the author’s relentless use of listicles to describe everything from brushing teeth to the deepest emotions and the most stunning vistas in space too repetitive and a bit boring in the end. Still, an original book worth reading.
