![]() ![]() ![]() Pretty soon April is an internet celebrity, and it goes to her head. The video goes viral, in part because these “Carls” have also appeared all over the world in other cities, but that fact had gone unregistered until April brought it to everyone’s attention. This novel is about 23-year-old April May, who seems to be part Hank Green himself, and part a really obnoxious, conceited young woman who needs to grow up – and, I can’t resist adding – shut up…Īpril, coming home from work late one night in New York City, encounters a gigantic metal sculpture on the sidewalk, which she describes as “a 10-foot-tall Transformer wearing a suit of samurai armor.” Since she is interested in art, she decides to ask her BFF Andy to help her record a video about appreciation for the sculpture she names Carl. I thought passages were very good, but in some sections, I wanted to shout, “Okay already! Let’s have some editing!” Hank might have a way to go yet, although he shows promise with this book. John has already proven he is also an excellent novelist. The talented brothers John and Hank Green are smart, insightful, and funny. ![]()
