Elska Bee reviewed Absolutely Remarkable Thing by Hank Green
Review of 'Absolutely Remarkable Thing' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
[NO SPOILERS] // maybe more like 4.5??? // I wasn't sure what to expect but I guess it wasn't that
I recommend this book to people who like:
- just like a little hint of sci-fi, a bay leaf in the stew
- solving mysteries
- fast-paced books that don't waste any time
- unusual formatting and style
- characters who aren't likeable, but lead interesting lives
- a good dose of Weird af, seriously be prepared for weirdness
- an exploration of fame and how it affects people
(but also don't let this last point deter you, I usually wouldn't read this kind of book either!)
This book was weird and wonderful and kinda frustrating (April... you test me, but that's the point) and even a little emotional (in like a 'wow, what a powerful moment' kinda way). It took me some time to get through; I don't usually read sci-fi or contemporary so it wasn't something I was reaching for a lot. HOWEVER, once I would start reading I'd get really sucked in.
I think it's hard to say much more without having read the second book, which in my mind is more of a part 2 than a sequel. Seriously I have so many questions and I'm having a great time.
