Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe by Benjamin Alire Sanez This book is most definitely one of my favourite reads. Saenz’s writing has so many complex themes while also being extremely simple and beautiful. Dante and Ari were very intercut characters it is evident that the barriers that the two had put up before meeting each other came down as they became more comfortable with each other Ari and Dante are two opposing forces, Dante being outspoken and loud while Ari is quiet and keeps his words and feelings to himself. Because of their personality differences Dante makes Ari see the world from a new perspective. Making the boys perfect for each other The fact that this book had no traditional plot was incredible. It has no main event that the story is formed around. Its formed around the importance of friendship, family, loving, being loved, trust, truth and so much more. If it was centered around one singular thing the story would get lost somewhere not making it hit as hard as it does. This is a wonderful and exceptionally beautiful read full of poetry and the important questions in life, it’s a journey with a beginning and an end that you can’t help but fall in love with. 5/5 stars @GreenUnoReverseCard of the Hamilton Public Library Teen Review Board
