An Absolutely Remarkable Thing by Hank Green

5.0

I went into this book with absolutely no knowledge about it other than what was on the jacket flap. And also that the author and his brother are popular on YouTube, although the only one of their videos I’ve seen had just his brother in it. I enjoyed the heck out of this book, and I’m not saying any more than that, because after reading a few of the surprisingly vitriolic negative reviews, it seems that part of the problem people have with it is that it didn’t meet their expectations— which wasn’t a problem for me since I didn’t have any. It’s not a perfect book, and the writing style isn’t particularly sophisticated, but it suits the subject. An interesting and thought-provoking book. I couldn’t put it down for the last fifty pages.
