You know art that is so beautiful it almost physically hurts? Like what I might imagine it would be like to be able to gaze on an original Van Gogh painting or to witness an astounding moment in history? That type of pain that stems from beauty? Yeah, Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe made me feel that type of pain in droves.

This book. THIS book. I cannot express how much love I have come to have for 350 pages. I knew around page 40 that this was going to be a 5 star read ...more

For a book with so many awards, I expected it to be more profound and unique. What it was, was simply a good story, boring at times, interesting at other times, but ultimately the ending was predictable. It has some good quotes you can pull from it, but again, not some out of this world type of quote. I generally enjoyed it, but expected more.
