The Book of Form and Emptiness by Ruth Ozeki

4.0

I liked the concept. I thought it started off really strong but I felt like there was a bit of a lull in the last 200 pages. I still feel like it was a good read though

I thought the premise of the book was really cool, but I just could *not* stand the mother character. Maybe it was just the timing of reading it, maybe I'll try again another time, but for now the only thing I remember was how annoying Benny's mother was
