I had never really read much space opera, so I can't really say I'm an expert in this genre. But this book, presents space in such a way that it's almost impossible to resist being pulled into this world! 

I like my science-fiction books have a bit of a realistic look at things added with a dash humor, no matter how tiny. This book says all that and more! I would highly recommend it to the avid lovers of science fiction and space as it takes you on a journey that, judging from the excepts, seem to be pretty amazing.
