"I like a book that keeps the reader posted on what everybody has to eat. Also, I like a book with worms, (in the story, not in the physical book). Not many books have worms. This one does. It's a romp. It's a space romp. It's a romping story in which food is mentioned, and there are worms, and a neat kid who's realer than some kids you meet in books."
