The main character is off on adventure to excel in academics and outwit everyone. This is a boy fantasy, and has been compared to The Name of the Wind and Red Rising. I would rank it below the former and above the latter in terms of quality.

I think this book is meant to be experienced and readers should be good with just absorbing the content as opposed to expecting a beginning-middle-end story.

It’s also meant to be experienced and touched—I would not recommend this on an e-reader or audiobook.

Hey I had that too. It was not good.

The Bee Sting by Paul Murray

Truly one of the most beautiful live stories I’ve ever read.

I haven’t read the second one yet. Have you?

This was such an interesting adventure. Also the cover art rules.

This is book is so great. One of the few books from high school English I’ve re-read as an adult.

What did you think of There There?

I really like how this author can bring the reader along with the science even if they don’t really get it.
