A review by logarithms
Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe by Benjamin Alire Sáenz

5.0

The plot is actually really nice, and a good feel of what growing up and learning about yourself is like. Also going through that stage where you start to learn about your parents and their lives, rather than seeing them as parents and nothing more. I felt the family relationships in this book were the best done part.

What pissed me off to no end was reading the dialogue, and reading them saying each others names over and over, in the same sentence even. No one talks like that, it's formal and weird as hell. Sounds like that B99 scene where Rosa's in prison and Holt is like 'you're a person Rosa, you are Rosa, Rosa'

I reread recently and I think I enjoyed it more this time around.
Also I realised that I've been quoting certain parts unknowingly, I guess some lines stuck.
