i am BUMMED - i really thought i would love this!! 
1. i was looking for space exploration more than a book about the ISS but that’s my fault - i also think the jacket blurb was not written very well
2. i think it was about fifty pages too long
3. it couldn’t decide if it was an ode or a treatise or a character study which means it was none of them
4. the language is undeniably beautiful in 95% of the book
