Review of 'An Absolutely Remarkable Thing' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
So it turns out: both the Green brothers can write! I had zero expectations heading into this and still found myself pleasantly surprised. This book was a lot of fun. Technically it's science fiction, but what makes this story compelling are the questions it wrestles with on the topics of identity, fame, friendship, and fear vs. trust-based thinking. The primary narrator has a great voice that grabbed me out of the gate and let me feel like a voyeur peeping behind the curtain of an over-night celebrity. My only frustration stems from the number of unanswered questions and plot lines that weren't tied in a bow... but I guess that means I'll definitely be reading the sequel when it's released.
