A review by illstoptheworldandreadwithyou
The Humans by Matt Haig

4.25

Sent on a mission to Earth to wipe out a mathematician’s research—as well as anyone who may be aware of said research—an extraterrestrial learns there is more to the human species than he’s been led to believe. 

 

As he familiarizes himself with his mission and what it means to be human, he becomes more and more reluctant to finish the job. 

 

The story is handled with humor and care as the extraterrestrial takes the mathematician’s place and grows closer to his family. The extraterrestrial fumbles and stumbles along the way as he becomes more human. 

 

I especially liked the Advice for a Human chapter. 

I received a copy of the book from Simon & Schuster #SimonBooksBuddy. All review opinions are my own.
