![]() An Absolutely Remarkable Thing is a scathing indictment of our current political culture disguised as an alien invasion novel. I like John Green’s books, though, and I admit that I picked up Hank Green’s new novel because he is John’s brother, and I thought at the very least that An Absolutely Remarkable Thing would be a likable, sweet, funny coming-of-age romance that would temporarily lift my book funk. I know nothing about them other than they are from Indiana (I think). I don’t follow it, nor do I follow the life of John Green outside of the pages of his novels. Hank Green is the brother of novelist John Green, and I understand that they have a popular YouTube channel together. And then a great book like Hank Green’s An Absolutely Remarkable Thing comes along and completely revives my passion for reading. ![]() Maybe I’m just not in the right headspace for a book right now, I think. ![]() It happens occasionally, and whenever it does, I start to blame myself. ![]() Of the last four books I’ve read, I struggled to get through two of them, and bailed on two others, including the sequel to one of my all-time favorite novels (it was crushingly bad!). ![]()
