I wish I had a physical copy of this book... so I can throw it at the wall. The main character was insufferable and not funny at all, being goofy all the time in all of the situations, come one. Others were portrayed as seen through his eyes so they were very stereotypical. There are a lot of scientific facts woven together so the story somehow makes sense but the main scientific problem is a major BS. Although it's a SF novel it has so many unrealistic scenarios, beside the science stuff. It could work as a YA novel I guess but I couldn't stand it. I give it points for structure and pacing but that's it. It's like a candy without any nutrition.
