Great writing. Great plot, I was captivated from the moment I started to read this literary gem
Brilliant! Is Matt Haig truly an alien that has looked into the soul of humanity? I wonder!
Bogged down a little at the end, but a fun quick read.
Quirky and silly.

This book starts off rather whacky but I soon began to enjoy the narrator's take on what it means to be human. Ostensibly this is a science fiction novel but like all the best ones it has a lot to say about reality. Highly recommended.
I liked it, full three stars. Yes it’s the well used trope of an alien on earth finding that humans have redeeming qualities after all. There is a good amount of humor but it’s not overdone. The final chapters felt a bit “self help” and kind of pulled me out of the story.
This book is absolutely brilliant. Everything about it. It’s hilarious but also has so much to offer about what it means to be human and to love. I would recommend this book to anyone.
I really don’t like alien books and it took me a longest time to finally pick this up. Surprisingly this was very wholesome and heartwarming and a very easy read. I enjoyed this much more than I expected. It’s a very hopeful read about humanity and a very uplifting book. I’d recommend it for sure!!
WOW! I literally just finished this book and want to go back and start it again right now.
