To start off the discussion, I absolutely loved this book! In fact I read it in one night. It checks off all the boxes; humor, mystery, relationships etc. I am very thankful The Humans is on our list because it will be a book that I go back too when I need a shorter comfort read.

I apologize that this discussion is being posted months later, but what are/were your thoughts on The Humans?


Khirs (khirsreadsthings) | 7 comments I enjoyed it very much! I love anything that shows the importance of both poetry and math, and while I thought some things were a little sentimental for my tastes, I really enjoyed the overall vibe of this one. Also it was such a quick read, but not in a bad way! I could go to it when I needed something lighter to bring up my mood. I've already recommended it to a friend!


message 3: by Ron (new) - rated it 3 stars

Ron I was surprised by this one. I don't read much fiction. I mainly keep them as a way to challenge myself in case I attempt the genre.

Reading this one though, I was quite surprised. I could feel myself as the alien so I understood things from his point of view. I ended up highlighting a lot of my favorite moments especially that list he shared at the end.

So like I said, I was surprised but in a good way. I'm glad I discovered this one here.

sophia | 1 comments I am planning on reading this soon! Matt Haig is an extremely talented writer. I also want to read the midnight library too. His books how to stop time and reasons to stay alive were incredible.

Have fun with those!

Between Midnight Library and The Humans, I actually preferred The Human's more. It was so fascinating.
