i was super interested in the premise of this book - written by an alien about humans - yet i couldn’t love this book like i wanted to. i enjoyed the story itself but because the main character was an alien, he had a kind of know-it-all way of explaining/talking about things that i really didn’t appreciate. i didn’t know if i truly enjoyed the book or not until i was nearly 2/3 through it. the latter half of the book redeemed it *a little bit* for me when he started talking more like a human & denounced his alien citizenship. i loved the insight on human emotion, its irrationality, and how the imperfections in life are what make it worth living
i’m giving this 3.5/5 stars - was gonna be 3.25 but the third part of the book bumped it a little

Este libro es tan genial. Es gracioso, divertido, se lee solo. Pero a la vez tiene un mensaje precioso con una premisa no tan original, pero si que el autor la lleva de una manera única y entretenida.

I could see where this book was heading to mile off and because of that, couldn't enjoy it. It felt like everything that happened was a means to an end, and made the entire reading experience feel really disingenuous.
A jaded alien (MC) / suicidal human (Sebastian) realises that there's something more to life and makes it that's worth living for. Their eventual realisation didn't come about via slow development; it seemed like the one, inevitable ending that this book would certainly go down. I hated that, and I hated that I was right. This book was too simplistic and straight forward, and much too obvious for my liking. I managed to get through the whole thing, but man, considering I'm the demographic this book should resonate with, it was really not for me.
