The Inexplicable Logic of My Life by Benjamin Alire Sáenz
3.0
I think I was expecting too much from this book after reading Aristotle and Dante discover the secret of the universe from the same author.
The book is good. It made me reflect on my youth and my own life. But a lot of passages were irrelevant. I identified too much with the main character. I liked that because it confronted me with myself but at the same time I thought: this character isn’t interesting enough to have a book written about his life. His friends’ lives and even his dad’s life seemed more worthy of a book. Perhaps with 150 pages less, the book would have been great.
Regardless of my critic, I enjoyed reading this book.
