A review by melodierhae
See You in the Cosmos by Jack Cheng
5.0
I cried when this book was over.
I don't need a sequel. Alex's story finished where it needed to.
But I loved every second of this book. Jack Cheng's writing is VERY realistic for a 12 year old. I had to go back and verify that he WASN'T a 12 year old when he wrote this book!
Maybe he's Zed, and this is actually that thing Zed did. It dutifully captured the beauty and honesty and wonder of a child beginning to learn more about the real world and his place in it.
The revelations Alex had on the couch...I had to pause for a moment to breathe in that piece of writing.
And the audiobook!!!???!!! Kivlighan de Montebello is an absolute STAR. Cheng's narrative format is totally meant to be an audiobook, but the production team who made it happen....if you listen to one audiobok in your whole life, it has to be this one.
