"This book was really long.There were really small words and a lot of pages.This book was very interesting and had a lot of information.I liked how this book had two stories that were going on at once and they came together at the end.The ending was different than what I had thought it would be like but it was still very good."

"A charming, humorous sci-fi book. Apparently written for the young adult market, I can see how it would appeal to a teenager. It appealed to me too - reminded me of the sort of thing I loved to read as a pre-teen and teen. Lots of fun, and easy reading (devoured it in a couple of days)."

"As advertised. A easy-to-read, adventuresome story that opens the door to some interesting philosophical concepts. I enjoyed reading just a bit at night before going to bed (30 or 40 pages) and then lying and thinking about the natural questions until I dozed off."
