WOW. 5 stars and a new favorite. I knew I would like this from the start because I was only about 5 pages in when I went to grab a pencil to annotate. This book is simultaneously hilarious and thoughtful. It made me feel very big things and very little things. I was concerned it would feel a bit too cheesy, 'here's the meaning of life' kind of vibe, but it wasn't. It was just a beautiful story about an alien trying to understand our world and his place in it.
