The Universe Versus Alex Woods by Gavin Extence
4.0
I wanted more of the Kurt Vonnegut stuff (I wish the focus had been on the book club and meetings) and less of Alex's boring descriptions of everything (which, I know, is part of his character, but they just dragged on and on). Love the relationships and how far Alex would go for his friend. Also love that he read, in addition to Vonnegut, Catch-22, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, and A Prayer for Owen Meany--some of my very favorites.
For ideas/themes this is a 5, but because of its execution and the fact that some of it felt like a chore, I can't say "it was amazing."
This book reminded me of Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time, Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry, Man Called Ove, Major Pettigrew's Last Stand.
