Pretty sure most of this went over my head, but I somehow still enjoyed the reading experience. I have no idea why I hung with it and read the whole thing. I guess I found it interesting.

This is a very well written account from two first person narrators. It takes these themes very seriously and does not use them for shock.gmjohnson's review against another edition

I first read The Passenger and I definitely like Stella Maris more, however there are huge sections of the book I was not able to follow. Specifically when it got into the mathematic details.
It was still an interesting take on looking at the meaning of life and philosophical thought from not your typical sources.
