Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe by Benjamin Alire Sáenz
Did not finish book. Stopped at 55%.
I just wasn’t into it at all, which really bummed me out. I’ve seen people raving about this one for years, but it just didn’t live up to it for me.
The problem I was having is that every sentence was super short, there was no variety. And it became super obvious that was the case hearing it being read aloud.
The characters also never seemed to have an actual conversation. Every time one would ask the other a question they’d be like “no” and then it would be over. I have no idea what this friendship was actually built on other than shared inability to hold a conversation.
