An Absolutely Remarkable Thing

Celebrity, fame, mob-mentality, the cult of personality, and fear—both rational and irrational—and the power of teamwork/crowd-source/open-source . . . all wrapped up in a story of friendship, love, and a bit of sci-fi. Hank Green weaves a breezy, but tightly plotted, page-turner of a tale.

This is just an observation: It did take me a bit to get used to the first-person past narrative. And he quite often broke the fourth wall. Ok, what am I saying, I never really got used to that; it reads like a long blog-post in a sense. It's not a point of view that is natural to me for a novel, but . . . it's a style.

Regardless, it's a great story and a fun read that will make you think.
