An absolutely remarkable thing

An absolutely remarkable thing / Hank Green, read by Kristen Sieh, 343 pgs.

April May and her art school buddies discover a sculpture of a robot, make a quick movie and post it on social media. Only later does it become apparent that there are LOTS of these robots and nobody knows why they are here and they are definitely NOT an art installation. Social media fame and hilarity ensue. There is no point in doing a more detailed summary because it is a silly plot and silly exchanges among the characters. This book also doesn't help with the question, "Can a man write a convincing female character." Green makes April bi-sexual and lets her treat her girlfriend like crap and behave like a stereotypical guy. Maybe I'm being too harsh on the story but the audio narrator Sieh does a great job and really embodies April May.

  1. Wow, someone doesn't care about their cats all that much, insulting their cat-sitter's favorite author. Stand by your convictions. See where that gets you. :) I won't tell.
