Hank Green: An Absolutely Remarkable Thing (2018, Dutton) 4 stars

Review of 'An Absolutely Remarkable Thing' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

The Green Brothers are a huge force for good in the world. When I heard Hank discussing his second book on Yang Speaks, it was time to finally read something of theirs.

From the interview, I knew Hank was going to include his takes on fame, social media, publicity, and politics. That’s what I read for and enjoyed—even if it felt a little shoehorned in, coming from characters in their 20s giving well-thought out monologues with numbered lists. The science involved in the story was great too. My main gripe, skimming over some things I’ll just attribute to being in the young adult genre, is that the story ends on a cliffhanger and with nothing resolved. If I didn’t have the second audiobook to immediately begin, I probably wouldn’t have read another book from Hank, because finishing this was incredibly unrewarding.
