Although the 2024 Booker Prize winner, I lost interest in this because I
wasn't enjoying the poetical writing style describing the thoughts of
astronauts and cosmonauts in orbit. I was fascinated by some minor facts
such as how storage space limitations determined how often socks and
underwear were changed but annoyed by other aspects such as crew members
with their own cameras taking photos with lenses pressed against the
glass of the portholes and g forces measured in the weight of black
bears. However, I didn't read far and suspect that many here will enjoy
this novel a lot more than I did.
