“Not often do I delve into the world of short stories, simply because I'm always left wanting more. Big books, when well written, are the best; so short forms of fiction always leave me bereft and unsatisfied. If I take the time to read a short story it's because the premise has drawn me in, in which case I'll want a whole lot more than 30 pages worth of a journey. Nonetheless, this was great. I'm a sucker for sci-fi, every time. If you can let go of what we know to be scientific truths and just immerse yourself into the setting, it's pretty neat. I always love it when things come full circle and the symmetry of making the first line and the last line the same yet different is awesome. It's undeniable that there's a beauty to short stories; like shooting stars, lovely yet brief.”
“I didn't realize this was getting an adaptation (I'm clearing out my wishlist on Amazon and picked this up randomly today), but I can see how this could make a very interesting story to tell on film. It managed to surprise me.”
