Aristoteles und Dante entdecken die Geheimnisse des Universums by Benjamin Alire Sáenz

This book is about two Mexican-American teens trying to find their way in the world, but before they do that, they find each other – Aristotle and Dante, the former a self-doubting silent guy, the latter an expressive, fair skinned swimmer. There are no overtly sentimental Nicholas Sparks plot twists, no super sexy erotica Fifty Shades of Grey style, not even an ardent declaration of love via Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice. It’s not dramatic at all, in the typical sense. Perhaps I’m making this book seem more dramatic than it actually is. At the end of the book, allow a single tear to run down your right cheek and say a silent prayer of thanks for the fact that you are able to read at all. Slam the book shut and whisper-scream oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh. Read past midnight, read in school, read everywhere and all the time. Fall in love with the writing, the characters, everything. Obtain a copy of Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe.ģ.
