What would happen if I saw a huge statue, made a video about it, and then had a huge following from the entire world? I have no idea. But I don't have to know because it happened in Hank Green's book and so now I know- don't make a video. But there is so much more to this book- and it brought up some interesting points in my book club. Lots of social commentary via strange alien statues and walking dismembered hands. What is the role of a created overnight celebrity? To what extent should be considered "chosen"? The writing was great, the premise was intriguing, and the humor was pretty darn humorous. Well done, Mr. Hank Green!
