Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe
Publisher's Summary A lyrical novel about family and friendship from critically acclaimed author Benjamin Alire Sáenz. Aristotle is an angry teen with a brother in prison. Dante is a know-it-all who has an unusual way of looking at the world. When the two meet at the swimming pool, they seem to have nothing in common. But as the loners start spending time together, they discover that they share a special friendship - the kind that changes lives and lasts a lifetime. And it is through this friendship that Ari and Dante will learn the most important truths about themselves and the kind of people they want to be. ©2013 Benjamin Alire Saenz (P)2013 Simon & Schuster Audio

This book was not as emotional as I was expecting, but then again, I have never cried over a book before. As a fan of Lin Manuel Miranda I really enjoyed his performance! He brought a distinctvoice and feel to each character. ( I especially liked the way he voiced Ari's pushy girlfriends) While I enjoyed the story and Ari and Dante's dynamic, I sometimes found myself rolling my eyes at Ari's dramatic inner monologues. Then again he is a teenager during all of this and I would be lying if I said I never had dramatic inner monologues of my own. Despite the eye-rolling I knew inside I secretly enjoyed knowing most teenagers (myself included) think this way.
Within the first three chapters of the book, you know what’s going to happen. I think another review said it best when it said this book really wants to be deep and powerful but it’s just trying too hard. It’s not a bad story, it’s not badly written or anything. It’s just not as life-changing as I think it’s trying to be. But 100% on narration by Lin-Manuel Miranda. He does as much as he can with the material and made the book very much worth listening to.
