Grrrr! Bova's
Mars is a great read, but if I was irked by a wannabe lover using Spanish when talking to a Brazilian, I head-desked when the Brazilian spoke
to herself in Spanish!


Did Bova really not know that Brazilians speak Portuguese, or did he just not care and go with "close enough is good enough"? Either way, irksome grit in the cogs that takes me out of the world he's building.
