I feel there were many themes throughout ‘The Humans’ which were also throughout ‘The Midnight Library’. Having fell utterly in love with ‘The Midnight Library’ which I focused on in my first post, I was super excited to see what ‘The Humans’ had in store and I was not disappointed. I liked the relationship between our protagonist and Newton which gave him a more human feel, it’s good to know even aliens adore dogs. The humour used was down to earth and relatable and any human would find themselves at least smiling at the pages.Īs I read on, I found the story had more depth than I originally expected I was not only reading a funny book about an alien coming to earth but a novel about fitting in, unconditional love, mental health, mortality and power of knowledge. At the beginning of the book I was happily reading away chuckling at the comical words of Matt Haig or in this case our unnamed Vonnadorian alien narrator, known to most now as professor Andrew Martin. This book! I mean this book was surprising, in a good way.
