A review by morganvermillion
Something Missing by Matthew Dicks
5.0
I came across this book online a few years ago and found the title interesting, but did no research and learned nothing about it. Then, earlier this year, I read a review of Twenty One Truths About Love, so I borrowed that book from the library and read it in one day. I ADORED that book!
Last month it occurred to me that 21 Truths and Something Missing shared the same author. I thought, “I haven’t stopped thinking about 21 Truths, so I might like Something Missing too.” So finally, amidst quarantine and being unreasonably bored, I ordered it. I had no idea that I would become so attached to a career thief. Martin’s journey was beautiful, if not a little unorthodox, and the book left me wanting to learn more and more about him.
At first, I felt a connection between Martin and the main character of “The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime,” which is another book that I love. Eventually I felt they were very different characters with similar traits, but they were both fantastic protagonists. I would give this book ten stars if I could.
After reading a little about the author, I noticed we had some similarities (musicians, teachers, etc) so I think I’ll be catching up on all of his books that I’ve missed over the years. ❤️❤️
