jwells's review against another edition

dark emotional funny hopeful reflective

The description makes this book sound a bit more like a comedy, but it turned out darker than I expected. Check the content warnings. Very good though. Looking forward to reading Matt Haig's other books.

4.0

A charming look at humanity through the eyes of a character with only an academic (and not terribly accurate) understanding of it. Though the writing occasionally seems a touch drunk on its own sense of wonder, the full effect is still a hopeful story that leaves you feeling like maybe our species isn’t so bad, after all.
