This book was too long. I appreciate the message but it feels like too much was going on - mysterious diss appearance, happiness philosophy, disability awareness…for me it didn’t gel

4.5. This book is really good. Captivating, unique, incredibly well researched. Very thorough and interesting in basically every aspect. The .5 point is off for the writing occasionally being a little too generic of the genre/too obvious. However overall it is really well written and worth the read. I listened to it as an audiobook and the narration was great. I specifically appreciated the inclusion of a neurodiverse narrator for Eugene’s words.
