Rats Saw God by Rob Thomas tells the story of what is going on with Steve as he writes that paper. That story is interspersed with the paper itself in which he reveals to himself (and us) how he got to this place in his life. We learn about the astronaut's disappointment, the parent's divorce, Steve's first love and his broken heart.
The book was written by Rob Thomas in 1996 but was re-released in March. You may know Rob Thomas by his other claim to fame - as the creator, writer and producer of several television shows, including Veronica Mars.
Pick up this book if you have ever felt like you couldn't live up to someone's expectations, or had your heart broken. Does that leave anyone out? I don't think so. And the title? You will just have to read the book!
