I both like and dislike The Green Book.

I like the interesting story of  a group of people trying to learn to live in an entirely different environment.

I dislike the  non-Christian view that the world will eventually self-destruct and that people will either escape to other planets or die. This could be very frightening and confusing to anyone.  Instead of having the comfort of knowing that, having trusted in Jesus, they will indeed be saved and enjoy a new heaven and a new earth on the day of his second coming, their ultimate destiny  is based entirely on whether or not they have a good genetic makeup, if they are clever, and if there is room on the spaceship. 

I like the fact that this book is very well written. 

I dislike the idea of forced suicide, should things appear not to be working out. 

I like the curious minds and willing hands of the children. They do not complain and they enjoy life.

Finally, I dislike the completely godless humanistic tone of the book. Everything depends on man. There is no mention of God.
