A very one-dimension book. Everything about it was flat, from the story to the writing to the characters. The journal style of story didn't help it either, as it came across like a laundry list of what happened, without a deeper dive into the emotion ...more

I really enjoyed the first Aristotle and Dante book, it was touching and both characters were really relatable. I had hoped for the same with this one, but it felt rush and the storyline was missing a plot. The last 40 or so pages were especially bad ...more
