Review
“An Absolutely Remarkable Thing is a thrilling journey that takes a hard look at the power of fame and our willingness to separate a person from the brand. Green manages to blend humor, mystery and science fiction in his fast-paced debut novel.” —Associated Press“A deceptively romp-y novel about mysterious samurai alien robot statues appearing all at once, everywhere that has hidden and absolutely remarkable depths....Green's understanding of the power and limits of social media is incomparable; what Douglas Coupland did for the elation and misery of the tech-bubble with Microserfs, Green does for YouTubers and other social media stars. It makes for a novel that's always charming, always fast-paced, but which is sneakily and uncomfortably ambivalent about the things it celebrates. It gallops to a startling and great ending (I read it all in one sitting) and lingers afterwards.”—Cory Doctorow, BoingBoing“[An Absolutely Remarkable Thing] is perhaps as honest a look as we will ever get into the phenomenon of cyberfame, and Green balances this careful introspection with a plotline that is both fun and mysterious, puzzling and compelling… Green quickly proves himself adept not only at playing into our 2018 anxiety and love/hate relationship with social media, but also at driving suspense, world-building and a true love for science fiction.” —Bookreporter“With this comic story about the ugly side of Internet fame, Green gives his brother...a run for his money.”—People“[Green] applies wit, affection, and cultural intelligence to a comic sci-fi novel....A fun, contemporary adventure that cares about who we are as humans, especially when faced with remarkable events.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)“Led by an earnestly flawed, bisexual heroine with direction and commitment issues, coupled with an abundant generosity of spirit, this read is timely and sorely needed. Highly recommended.”—Library Journal (starred review), Fall 2018 Best Debut Novels“Green makes an entertaining book debut in this fast-paced, witty first contact novel…At once funny, exciting, and a tad terrifying, this exploration of aliens and social media culture is bound to have wide appeal to readers interested in either theme.”—Booklist (starred review)“A captivating debut from a talented new novelist.”—Bustle“A quirky millennial mix of sci-fi alien mystery, celebrity and social media commentary.” –Family Circle“Hank Green, super-vlogger and brother to YA legend John, pens the heart-warmer An Absolutely Remarkable Thing.”—Cosmopolitan“Sparkling with mystery, humor and the uncanny, this is a fun read. But beneath its effervescent tone, more complex themes are at play.”—San Francisco Chronicle“It’s not in the nature of a sci-fi comedy blockbuster to shift boulders in your soul. But with his debut novel, An Absolutely Remarkable Thing, Hank Green pulls it off....There are still a few exceptionally remarkable things that rise above the rest of their absolutely remarkable peers. In the pages of An Absolutely Remarkable Thing, April’s discovery of New York Carl is one of these exceptions; in the real world, Green’s debut deserves to be another. [It] delivers unexpected delights and pathos…you will feel smarter and more complete for having read it.”—Paste Magazine, 12 Best Novels of 2018“Green’s debut novel is an adventurous romp that combines science fiction and interpersonal drama to explore identity, relationships, a polarized world and the influence of media and popular opinion. An Absolutely Remarkable Thing is a fun, fast read that invites readers to contemplate their position in the modern world.”—BookPage“An Absolutely Remarkable Thing is an extremely fun read. At every turn, you’ll be dying to know what happens next.”—Hello Giggles“Packed with meditations on the nature of celebrity, social media, and the cultural response to the unknown.”—Harper's Bazaar“The genius of Hank Green's book lies in the way he skillfully mixes such a variety of topics and messages and melds them brilliantly into a gem of a first novel.” —News Tribune“Both thought-provoking and entertaining… a laugh-out-loud, fast-paced story that is just plain fun to read.”—Shelf Awareness“Existential questions born of online stardom figure prominently in Mr. Green’s debut novel.”—Wall Street Journal“Ambitious.” —Entertainment Weekly“Surprises in its willingness to delve into the unknown and the unknowable, exploring how modern internet fame twists and chops reality and peoples’ lives via the story of twenty-something April May.”—B&N Sci-Fi & Fantasy Blog“[A] smashing, fantastical debut... Step aside, John Green—it's time for Hank to take over the literary world.” —PopSugar, Best Books 2018“You're about to meet somebody named April May who you're immediately going to want to be best friends with. And bonus, she spends all her time having incredible adventures with giant robots and dream puzzles and accidental Internet fame. An Absolutely Remarkable Thing is pure book-joy.”—Lev Grossman, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Magicians Trilogy “Fun and full of truth. To be honest, I'm a little irritated at how good the book is. I don't need this kind of competition.”—Patrick Rothfuss, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Kingkiller Chronicle“This is the book my teen self would have loved, and my adult self immediately obsessed over. I turned the pages of An Absolutely Remarkable Thing so quickly the pads of my thumbs were worn smooth by the time I finished it. It provokes the mind, tickles the spirit, and April May is the terribly relevant young protagonist we've been waiting for.”—Ashley C. Ford, writer“Funny, thrilling, and an absolute blast to read. I knew Hank would be good at this, but I didn't know he would be this good on the first try.” —John Scalzi, New York Times bestselling author and Hugo Award winner“By turns joyful, devastating, personal, zeitgeisty, modern, classic, fast-paced, and thoughtful, An Absolutely Remarkable Thing blew me away with its fresh take on first contact in this fragile, ever-connected world we live in. Quick but never shallow, it will stand as a snapshot of an era as well as just a darn good read.”—Catherynne M. Valente, author of The Refrigerator Monologues and Space Opera“Hank Green hasn't just written a great mystery adventure (though he has), and he hasn't just written the most interesting meditation on the internet and fame I've ever seen (but he did that too), Hank has written a book in which the page-turning story and the fascinating ideas inform and support each other. This book expands your mind while taking you on a hell of a ride.” —Joseph Fink, author of Welcome to Night Vale and Alice Isn't Dead

I am a 43 year old male. I am not the target audience for this book but I loved it! Very well written and paced very well. The story is always moving and it is so hard to put down. Highly recommended.
I'm about 30% through and the book is exhausting. I read before bed and it's so fast-paced that it wires me. That is good for most books, and normally I would just read it at a different time. But this one not only feels as though I'm sticking my finger in a light socket. It also feels wormy, as if something rotten is gradually burrowing into my skin and the only way to stop it is to stop reading. That sounds bizarre, since this is not horror or slasher genre. Usually, I am drawn to science fiction, especially slightly creepy science fiction. This is more basic. This deals with the stink of pride, which is scarier than aliens to me. Well done, Hank. Maybe I can push through. You have done something remarkable.
This book is what happens when a YouTube star makes a clumsy attempt at literary achievement. This is the least bookish book I've ever read in my life. Its prose is shallow, conversational, and trendy. It reads like a Twitter post, but without the 280-character cap. You fall into the plot without any preamble (certainly without any attempt at context or character development). April May is young and fun, but lacks the depth of character you'd find in a typical protagonist. The plot jumps around, but certain threads of it are readable. Be prepared, however, to want to close every social media account you have after reading this book. April May will give you so many details about her social media (truly, right down to her very password, which is donkeyfart - is that supposed to be cute?) that you'll never want to see an inbox again.
I just read this straight through from the moment it arrived 11 hours ago. An Absolutely Remarkable Thing was suspenseful, gripping and insightful. On several occasions I actually exclaimed aloud because it was so tense and surprising. I've been watching Hank (and John's) videos for 10 years (since about halfway through the first year of Brootherhood 2.0) and I got really emotional (see: excited, hopeful) when I heard Hank was releasing a book. I've been around on their channel as Hank has risen through tiers of fame and knew my long time admiration for his work would be resilient should I dislike his first book. I'm really just so happy for Hank, though, because it was so good and I loved it. I saw so much of Hank in this book and I think those familiar with his work will feel the same. Congratulations, Hank. ♡
This book grabbed my attention and didn't let go until I finished the whole thing in one day. Highly recommended. A mediation on fame and power and humanity wrapped in a thrilling, engrossing shell. Warning: you will want the next one right away. And it does have some strong language, but I didn't feel it was excessive. YMMV
I was sort of worried about this book. I like Hank, I wanted it to be good, but I remain skeptical of books by youtubers. I shouldn't have been. I read it all the way through today and was enthralled the whole time. The story is genuinely interesting. ( KNOCK KNOCK WHERE IS MY SEQUEL) April was a complex character that I sympathized with and disagreed with in almost equal measure. She came across completely human. Which was kinda the goal, right? The themes explored include fame, the way we tend to pay attention to the people who scream the loudest, how dangerous fear can be, and giant space men, and are so so relevant and clearly told by someone with an inside perspective. Someone who has given it a lot of thought. It's a book that has had, and I think will continue to have, an effect on my worldview. In some ways it confirmed things I already thought, but I think the things it confirmed were fairly empathetic views, which I can't see as a bad thing. The supporting cast wasn't particularly fleshed out, but I think that's okay. Besides, there's more books coming! Also it was pretty funny? and I enjoyed it a lot? and I want to read more of it?
If you love humanity, this book will validate that. If you're skeptical about humanity, this book may reassure you that all is not lost.I bought the book because I like a lot of Hank Green's other work and wanted to support him in this new endeavor. I'm so glad I did. It might not enter the canon of great literature, but if you read it and don't find yourself thinking seriously about where you would fit in April May's world, you should go back to the beginning.
In the first few chapters, I became concerned that perhaps I had immersed myself in a positive feedback bubble that had only exposed me to what was beginning to seem to be overpositive reviews of Hank Green's debut novel. That concern faded away as the story and characters became more complex and as the genuinely perplexing mystery thickened. For anyone who follows Green, his standard talking points are almost obtusely clear and abundant, making up much of what is really the substance of the book. Those points are valuable and strong on their own merit, though, so a reader less immersed in the Green brother's world would find a unique and poignant commentary on modern digital society.
