Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “review.” Use it any way you’d like. Have fun!

I’m not fond of this word – review.

We used to get that from teachers in school when we had to go over the same subject over and over –boring!

Another is when there are reviews of movies or books. I don’t read them much,  because either I figure they are not accurate. or, even if they are they don’t seem to match up with my thoughts on the movie or book. Either they exaggerate the wonderfulness of it or put it down really low. Maybe now the reviewers are paid for saying something, I don’t know.

That said, a few years ago I did do an A to Z month of books I’ve read, and told a little about them.

A short book review. I’ve read this book several times and it is very good.

“Project Hail Mary”, by Andy Weir

This is a science fiction book about a Junior High School science teacher who was selected by the government to go into space several light years away in order to find out why and what is making Earth’s sun get dimmer.

There is a time crunch, because if the solution can’t be found, the Earth’s population will be no more.

On his journey he is surprised to find another space ship flying close to him … an alien space ship.

The book tells of the two astronauts, one human, one alien, and how they meet and learn to communicate.

The American names the Alien Rocky, because he doesn’t yet know his real name, and because his skin looks like pebbles. They both work together to find a solution to the sun’s problem, both Earth’s sun and the alien sun. There are lots of sticky situations that happen, but they respect each other and become friends.
