John Green brings up interesting connections and wry observations in this deeply personal non-fiction book. The audiobook is read by John Green.

In my youth, PBS aired a BBC documentary series called Connections, created and hosted by James Burke. He discussed the often unseen path between innovations, and this was fascinating to me. John Green does this a lot within the book, evoking a similar response.

The book is also deeply, frankly and unabashedly personal, delving into aspects of the author's life. In short, this book provokes thinking and feeling in roughly equal measures. I savored this over the course of three weeks and two continents. Recommended.
