The Humans - by Matt Haig

The blurb for this book gives very little clue to what it is all about and what to expect. My previous experience of the author’s work is what drove me to read it. Initially, it appears to be sci fi or fantasy and I suppose it is just that. However, it is so much more than that. The book is an insightful look at what it is to be human from a very different perspective. It is well written with well drawn characters and tells the story with not a little humour. At the end, there are some author’s notes that explain how he came to write the book and these are as interesting as the story itself.

Once again, I look forward to more of Haig’s work.
