There are these soul stopping questions among the singing and costumes that bring you up short. We are asked what war brings out of people and what is at the core - if anything - of humanity. (I want real glitter in this book okay?!) At the same time, there's a thorough examination of war and humanity within these glitter flecked pages. It sounds like an unlikely combo, and even now you might be thinking - really? But yes. Space Opera grabs you from the first page. UNLESS I see the hard cover in stores and then I'm going to swoon, and then buy this. I actually am never going to give away my galley. Um excuse me, read that summary and tell me you don't think this whole book sounds like a lot of fun? This cover is amazing and I love it.

This has not impacted my review which is unbiased and honest.) (Disclaimer: I received this free book from the publisher. Though the last time I was this displeased with a novel it ended up becoming a best seller and was turned into a major motion picture directed by Steven Spielberg so I guess the author has nothing to worry about I groaned and sighed asking myself 'Why am I still reading this book?' so many times I lost count. I have finished most chapters unsure what even happened or what the point the point was other than yet another failed attempt at being clever the plot advances at a rate slow enough you'd swear it was an AMC tv show and if there was any character development it was few and far between unless a very detailed description of the crochet dress and hair style some woman in an audience was wearing counts as character development.

The plot is the same as the episode Cromulans episode of Rick and Morty only lacking the humor and brevity of only being 25 minutes of television opting instead for throwing every adjective imaginable in every combination possible hoping that it will be stylish and amusing but instead becomes meandering, irritating and muddled. You know how blurb compares this book to Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy? Well if Hitchiker's is those cool older kids then Space Opera is younger ones it is trying so very hard to be funny, clever and cool that it more often than not fails at being anything other than laborious to read. All of us younger kids thought the older kids were the coolest people ever and some of the elementary school kids would say or do almost anything to make those cool older think they were also cool. I remember being a youth in my single digits and hanging out on the bus stop and there was the older high school kids waiting with the younger elementary school kids.
