( ) I read Laika at a book store and it hit home so hard I can't help myself weeping right there with flooding tears, snot, and whatnot. I think I was in high school and I don't have my own money so I just left it there and went home without getting it. I was actually with my mom but I might be too shocked with the story and that I was THAT affected, I just washed my face and pretended like I didn't just read a book I'm going to treasure for my whole life. Why did I do that?? Well, I'm still regretting that. It's one of my gateway books to the outer space fandom. Even long after that, sometimes I recounted the book to a friend and I have to stop talking at the exact same part of the story (when Laika saw the earth getting far away and she thought about her family) because I know, one more word and I'd cry again. I've passed that phase, I can tell Laika's story just fine now. But this remains one of the most impactful and personal books I've read. Oh the things we do for science TT Update 02/05/21: Finally getting this after 8.5 half years! > This book broke my heart (I'm still fighting tears over it, actually), particularly since it is based on historical events during the Cold War. It is a powerful homage to the little dog which would become the first living creature to travel into space. If nothing else, it is a testament to the cruelty of animal testing in the name of science. As a dog-lover, I am once again reminded how dogs are often more humane than actual humans. A seriously powerful read - just know ahead of time that it isn't a story with a happy ending.
Abadzis's artistic style put me in mind of Tin Tin -- the little doggy with the curly tail didn't hurt -- a childlike, cartoony line that is nevertheless expressive and expansive. It nicely complements the subject matter, contributing much to the sweetness of the story, and serving as counterpoint to the exhaustive research. AuszeichnungenBemerkenswerte Listen
This is the journey of Laika, the abandoned puppy destined to become Earth's first space traveler. With the blending of fact and fiction, this story intertwines three compelling lives. Along with Laika, there is Korolev, a driven engineer at the top of the Soviet space program and Yelena, the lab technician responsible for Laika's health and life.
