The movie generated a lot of buzz and was very popular several months back, but for one reason or another, I wasn&#8217;t able to catch it because I wasn&#8217;t really into going to the cinema (which is slowly changing by the way \ud83d\ude00).<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Fast forward to May, when I attended one of the Philippine Astronomical Society&#8217;s Astro camp (which I haven&#8217;t blogged about here \ud83d\ude05), I learned that one of the prizes they gave away in a past Astro camp\u00a0 was a copy of the book. This piqued my curiosity because that just shows this book is well-loved by those space enthusiasts. It was also timely because I was, at that time, slowly returning to my roots as a space nerd. I got a copy of the book and started reading that same month.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<div>I just finished the book today. I spent two months reading it. \ud83d\ude05 It could have taken me longer if not for my drive to watch the movie version soon,\u00a0 because I learned that it is now available on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.primevideo.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Prime Video<\/a>.<\/div>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The premise of the story is interesting. However, even for someone who loves space, I got a bit overwhelmed with a lot of the technical explanations elaborated in the book regarding the physics and the chemistry involved in the plot. \ud83d\ude05 Still, things do get interesting when Dr. Grace, the protagonist, meets &#8220;Rocky&#8221;, the alien, in his space journey. I enjoyed all their interaction in the book.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve heard a lot of praises about the movie, that it was tear-jerking and had a plot twist at the end. I didn&#8217;t want to get spoiled while still reading the book, that&#8217;s why I was really looking forward to finishing reading the novel. However, when I did, the ending didn&#8217;t move me, the way I expected it to.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Overall, I would give it a 4\/5. It&#8217;s not something that I would remember for long after reading it. Let&#8217;s see how it pans out when I watch the movie, which I plan to do at the end of this week. \ud83d\ude01<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Like with most people, I first encountered this title, this work of fiction, through the movie.
