The subject matter of this book should interest me: the operation of the space station and the lives of the [fictional] characters. My problem was that a trusted friend had already given me his rather negative views on the book, but I did try to approach it objectively.
Although I did learn stuff from reading the book, there really is not that much to say based on a single day's activity. The book is mercifully short, but even that required a lot of what feels like padding; long philosophical ramblings that seemed interminable.
How/why this book won the Booker is beyond me.
