This book is definitely much more different then what I though it would be. Just reading the title of the book I thought the story would almost be a fictional imaginary story line in the imagination of the characters, but that's why you never judge a book by its cover. What the story is really about is two polar opposite characters named Aristotle and Dante, they both appreciate each others company and grow as they continue through different experiences. Dante is a very open person who seems to really love life while Aristotle seems sad lonely and just doesn't know whats going on in his life. They both meet at there local swimming pool and love how they both have interesting names. Their friendship grows when Dante teaches Aristotle to swim. This is a refreshing read and really makes you feel good about life.

I agree with you based off the cover I thought the book was going to be completely different. I thought the book was going to be about astronomy.
ReplyDeleteI also was surprised by the story. It's not what I was expecting at all.
