Is that even possible, the movie was fucking awful and I never read the book.

The book is actually very good for children's literature. Its kid-friendly way of describing how wormholes work stuck with me.

for me it felt like gaiman/ishiguro/murakami for kids

the main impressions i have left of it are of trippy kaleidoscopic space fabric and someone in a jar; i distinctly recall being very frustrated that the author did not bother to explain in great detail exactly how the space witch went from being a star to being a space witch

child me yearned for the spreadsheets
