I really enjoyed that book and the whole "alone in space" vibe it gives off. Are there any more like it?

EDIT: Jeez i can't reply to you all. I wish there was a way to compile all your suggestions into a Goodreads list, these all sound awesome!

To me, it almost read more like a YA book than his others. The stakes were lower, and it was more adventury than sciencey and dire. Definitely made it feel different; not that it's wrong. The Hobbit is aimed way younger than LOTR, but it's still good. I do agree that the female protagonist writing felt a little clunky from what I remember.
