Okay Arthur Louis Pullman III has a famous grandfather and he needs to find out about his certain disappearance. Upon his journey, he meets various people that are significant in his grandpa's life.
The plot did not truly strike me as enticing. Only made it to 115 pages because this book is unfortunately uninteresting for me. Some of the poems are good though.

There were some amazing lines but it dragged on and it was hard to conceptualize how he actually got from this place to the next. it was a nice tribute but wasn't for me

This is a lyrical novel about a young man at a crisis in his life deciding to take a journey to see if he can discover anything about the life of his mysterious deceased grandfather. The journey and discoveries were a little too odd for me. Also while I found the writing beautiful on a sentence or even paragraph level, it felt so slow as a whole.

Beautiful writing, the storyline was a bit convenient, but it was something I was able to look past. I would definitely recommend this!

I really enjoyed reading this book a lot and it helped me put my own life into perspective. I also related a lot to Mara’s character and I really enjoyed watching her relationship with Arthur blossom as they continued to journey together. I also liked the relationship between Arthur and his father, and how similar it is to Arthur’s father’s relationship with his father. I didn’t fully like how the story ended, but I did like that Arthur empathized with Jack, and offered him a chance of redemption.
