It's extremely unusual
that with only 50 pages left in a book, I find myself pushing just to finish.
Normally by that point, I can't stop or the book was abandoned long since.
Growing Up Weightless focuses too much on external situations and neglects plot development which surprisingly slows as the story goes on. It gives a realistic and clear feeling of living on the moon but in a very ordinary and unexciting way.
Good books don't let language get in the way of the visualization they create. Here we have cumbersome arguments and discussions that draw attention away from the story. Even the layout of the text creates confusion without any visual gap between paragraphs, the story jumps months and/or miles.
For a version of this theme that works and I would recommend, see Rite of Passage by Alexi Panshi.
