I'm going on record: Arthur Less may be my favorite Everyman.
I might be in the minority of people who enjoyed this book almost as much as the first one. I love the character of Less because he's so relatable and almost helpless; his humility and humanity are so hopeless, yet you feel for him and all of his (mis)adventures.
What I like most about this book is the difference in topics and themes that are conquered. The main topic/theme both books tackle is understanding that we can't run away from the things life throws at us; eventually, we have to face them head on and process them. I loved seeing Less after his "happily ever after," from the first book, and seeing that relationships are romantic, but they're also work and compromise. Thank you, Andrew Sean Greer for this wonderful sequel!
