"Okay the next one, and it’s a big one, is The Goonies. I think it’s almost self-explanatory. I remember seeing The Goonies as a kid and I think it’s that sense of — it is almost like a Scooby-Doo-esque adventure become real, and I think that’s what made it so appealing to me as a kid. It wasn’t that it was raucous and loud, it was that these kids were incredibly relatable. They were real kids. They came in all shapes and sizes, they were incredibly flawed, and very funny. They were rude, they bickered; they just felt so real, and they were a lot of fun because of that. So yeah, The Goonies — huge influence."

He is well ahead of his time and includes many scientific facts that were not very popular during that time.

It can be difficult to understand at times, but the writer describes everything extremely well, so no need to worry. (0 more)

Incredibly engaging

I am a huge fan of both the author and the book, it's such a fun and interesting read and the books grabs your attention from the first paragraph.

I would definitely recommend this to anyone who enjoys, science, adventure and anything that would be seen as fantasy or out of this world.
