Aristotle and Dante Dive Into the Waters of the World by Benjamin Alire Sáenz

5.0

I absolutely loved Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe so couldn't wait to read the sequel but was also apprehensive. The first book was such a beautiful work of art that I didn't think it was possible for the second book to live up to it's predecessor. I was worried it would ruin what was already perfect. I couldn't have been more wrong. I don't know how it's possible but Aristotle and Dante Dive into the Waters of the Word might be even better than the first book. It definitely caused even more tears. I loved how the author took the characters and broadened their story to include the backdrop of the aids epidemic. I loved how the characters didn't remain stagnant but continued to grow and evolve. I loved the author's beautiful way of explaining the troubles and wonders of the world. I loved everything. Every single page. And I hope you do too.
