What a great name. Sno! Isn't that a weather condition, people ask when first introduced to her, many of whom have never seen snow, being born somewhere off planet, planet Earth, that is? Sno, herself, had only heard stories of snow, having been born on a planetoid somewhere between Mars and Jupiter. in the opening chapter, Alan Black paints an out-of-this-world picture of young Sno busy outside her spacecraft in her EVA suit, by herself, mining asteroids for rock and hopefully, a rare metal or two. When she returns to her home base in Arizona City on a small planetoid called, Ceres, she gets in a barroom scrap with 4 fellow miners from a competing operation. Without harming so much as a fingernail, she puts them in their place and then shortly after blasts off into the asteroid belt again to work a claim. It's what happens when they chase after her that makes Chewing Rocks so much fun to read. Great action, wonderful word visuals of the planetoid city, the spaceships and the mining operations along with a multitude of colorful characters made Chewing Rocks hard to walk away from. When I got to the arbitration scenes with Therese Cleasemount, I just simply couldn't put my iPad down; actually found myself chuckling now and then. I think maybe our justice system could learn a little bit from Miss Cleasemount.Chewing Rocks was simply a joy to read. I look forward to reading more about Chasity Snowden (Sno) Whyte. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Better than his last book :) *by S***E on Reviewed in the United States on April 8, 2014* I really enjoyed Metal Boxes but with this book I felt Mr. Black took it to a higher level. He gave the characters even more depth and the story just flowed. It didn't hurt that it is in a vein that I really enjoy reading either.. sort of a cross between commerce/libertarian/space miner etc... He did a really good job... I would even more so than getting a sequel to Metal Boxes like to see one on this story line.The only criticism I have at all is after the Arbitration started Mr. Black went to little mini chapters or partial chapters and I found the jump from the previous writing style to that to be very discordant. I think he did it because he wanted to fast forward over what could have been a long dry court room style section of the book. However both before and after he used that style he did really well with the scenes there. Toward the end of that section of the book he went back to his previous writing style which I enjoyed much more. I think he lost something doing it the way he did in that small section of the book. However even though I didn't like that style change I still found the whole book to be great. I would read it twice over I liked it so much and will probably read it again in a month or so which I only do for my favorite books.Very well done Mr. Black.. Very well done indeed! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A hoot, a laugh, a guffaw and excitement galore *by N***P on Reviewed in the United States on August 20, 2014* I jumped into this story with both feet firmly set inside my EVA suit. Near Earth orbit asteroid mining is not only timely and relevant to humanities space goals, it can be downright hilarious at times and even a little dangerous if you don’t pay attention to what you are doing. In Sno’s case, she also had to watch her back as some knives can cut clean through a hard shelled EVA suit. There should be a psych test to keep the bad guys out of space.The back cover of the book made promises about corporate conspiracies, piracy, kidnapping, and murder. I got all of that and laughs to boot. This book is full of wit and odd bits of wisdom, but then people who go to space to live and work are an odd bunch anyway. I did not find it strange that people who leave Earth might reject the values they left behind and strike out on a new course. Isn’t that was space travel is all about?This book was cleverly written in a flash point-of-view changing style that kept me on my toes, but brought me to tears of laughter. There were no silly, long drawn out Shakespearian monologues to bore me to death, but a rapid fire shotgun blast of fully fleshed out real people struggling to survive where people were never meant to live.I read this twice before I caught on to where the author borrowed his storyline. Loved it and the box it came in. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pe/products/1500929-chewing-rocks-paperback-december-9-2013](https://www.desertcart.pe/products/1500929-chewing-rocks-paperback-december-9-2013) --- *Product available on Desertcart Peru* *Store origin: PE* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
