Damn you Hank! It's been half a day since I acquired your book and it's now 6:40 AM. I have to work in under 2 hours, but what I don't have, is slept. But curiously, I don't feel tired at all. Because I've just been on a heck of an adventure. Therefore; Thank you Hank! It's been so long that I don't even remember when (no wait, it was TATWD) since I last had this enthralling of an experience with a book. I, and I dare say many others, are grateful for all the trouble you went through and the amounts of work you put in. I remember you saying "I don't want to write a book, I want people to read a book that I wrote." We have Hank. And you did good.

I didn't expected this book to resonate with me this much. Don't get me wrong, I was interested in it when I found out you're writing a book, but I was too busy with my life, to get exited about it. But when I saw the notification pop up while I was, as you put it so well, pixel pushing I clicked on it, because what's better then procrastinating. So the video started, and you began to read the book within it. Right after the second sentence I had to pause, as I did a few more times till I got to the part when you close the book, and in those pauses I contemplated my past, present and the different possible ways of future relationship with art, the meaning of art, the purpose of art and last but not least how much, just the first chapter effected me. Now, here I am, almost two hours later, have been ordered An Absolutely Remarkable Thing, and writing this comment, for what? I don't know, maybe just to let you know you had a bigger than ever before impact on me.

I had a similar experience, and was surprised at how good the opening is. No offence Hank, it is a statistics thing; what are the chances of both brothers being brilliant writers? I like how AARM takes the time to develop character when we're living in a world that demands action from the very start.

Funnily, when I first read the book I had a VERY difficult time not hearing it read in your voice Hank. Very hard. I think I’ll do the audiobook now so I can hear Kristen’s voice. I gave you the bowl for your son in Denver. I forgot to tell you that it’s dishwasher safe and that it will break and that’s ok. I’ve not heard of a child hurting themselves, because it usually falls from where they are to the floor. It was nice meeting you!

I enjoy both, they're just different. When the budget yields, I'll get An Absolutely Remarkable Thing ! :) Entirely off-topic: Hank has a very soothing reading voice.

Omg the way the book has been written and the way you read it... Hank hats exactly the kinda things I can actually hear think/say... that book is definitely yours🤩 Just so amazing that your view is this unique... everyone’s views are unique, sure, but the thing is, the way to express that uniqueness... that takes immense bravery and talent. Bravery because those thoughts of yours on a screen or on a piece of paper are cool sure but the fear of other people reading what have for long been passing clouds in the vast plains of your mind... you are brave to have sat down and finished your book and I am just so proud of where you guys have come today....

So I’m sitting here starring out my window taking drags and filling the air in front of me with smoke. Your words echo from my phone and you take me out of this horrid semester for 19 minutes and 54 seconds. You bring me somewhere and to a place where I can’t see the smoke, where I’m in New York and I’m watching this girl prep for a seemingly meaningless interview with a friend. Your story has uprooted me from what is around and transported me to what is, or possibly was a destination or memory within you. Thank you for creating this video, for creating this story, and for creating this vlog that takes me on a journey. Hank, for as much as any digital comment means, I thank you, truly.

I read the book, and before I finished, it was obvious to me that English teachers will be assigning this book to their students. There are THEMES to explore here in a way few novels really bother with. Any post-2015 American can relate to some of the major struggles Hank discusses. Very few books inspire an evangelical zeal in me, but this one was immediately recommended to all my friends and an entire college English department. I bought a second copy to share. This book is something special, Hank. It honestly is a truly remarkable thing.

Holy SHIT. OMG, Holy shit. I have a theory that just happened, because I have only read the book once. OMG, I need to share this. Anyway... Spoiler Alert Spoiler Alert Spoiler Alert Spoiler Alert, Ok, so you know at the end where we last see April and she is basically going to be burned alive, but then it switches to Andy and he talks about how they never found a body. Then the whole "Knock, Knock." thing. In Hank's reading I just realized that one of the lines is "I am, or at least was, human." OMG, what does this mean?! Did they turn April into a robot too? What is happening? I want to know what happened after knock knock!

I absolutely love AART. I read it from the minute I got home at about 6 pm until 3 in the morning. It was absolutely remarkable, as the title implied. I loaned it to a friend yesterday because I had talked about it so much that she wanted to read it. (Granted, she wanted to read it anyway because she loves you and John.) Congratulations on the book, Hank. I can’t wait until your next one 😁

Hank Green, you did it. You got me hooked. The first chapter of your book is brilliant, and I am going immediately to Amazon to buy the Kindle version. One question: why didn't you read for the audiobook yourself? I realize it is told from the perspective of a woman, but it's also told from your perspective. I think your narration was a big part of what hooked me. Food for thought: would it not be more authentic for you as the author to narrate your own books? In any case, great job, Mr. Green.
