A Lite Too Bright
by Samuel Miller
Even after a few weeks of finishing this book, I still haven’t unpacked all of my thoughts about this book. But here’s a few of them:
1. I picked up A Lite Too Bright because I love Sam Miller’s words. His poetical lyrics are what brought me to Paradise Fears and kept me there. I was hopeful that this would translate into his debut novel and he 100% delivered. This book is poetic and gorgeous.
2. Part of the poetic nature of this book also makes it very literary. This is a book that you pick up for book club or as a buddy read or in English class. Good lord please substitute some of those outdated coming of age stories and add stories like this.
3. The transition to adulthood is strange. It’s arbitrary. The clock flips from 11:59pm to 12:00am and suddenly your whole life changes. A Lite Too Bright is Arthur Louis Pullman the Third’s exploration of that weirdness combined with wanting answers to questions that maybe we should have left alone and the complexity of our idols.
4. That said, I was really invested in figuring out what the heck happened in the weeks after Arthur’s infamous author grandfather (who had Alzheimer’s) disappears. I was going to really mad if the story didn’t pay off…oh, but it did.
If you like journeys in contemporary, complex characters, and coming of age stories coupled with gorgeous writing, A Lite Too Bright is worth your listen or read!
