About this listen

Penguin presents the audiobook edition of Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda by Becky Albertalli, read by Michael Crouch.

Straight people should have to come out too. And the more awkward it is, the better.

Simon Spier is 16 and trying to work out who he is - and what he's looking for. But when one of his emails to the very distracting Blue falls into the wrong hands, things get all kinds of complicated. Because for Simon, falling for Blue is a big deal.... It's a holy freaking huge awesome deal.

A bit of a let down

While I wasn't expecting anything amazing, I found this didn't really live up to the hype. I read this after watching the movie. While I think the movie made everything a little over dramatic, some elements of the book just annoyed me. The swearing seemed like it was the just for the shock value, it was little was jarring at times and the were just a little too many pop culture references.
While it not a bad read, the narration is great, it definitely wasn't this amazing literary peice that it was made out to be.

Fantastic

Was absolutely fantastic, a beautiful book, different enough from the movie to make it well worth listening too.

AMAZING

I listened to this book after I watched the movie just the other day and the book and the story line is so much better than the movie. It's so engaging and it really made me feel like I was Simon. I was able to feel really connected to the charters but I thought Leah would have had more of a bigger role than she did. It was still amazing. I recommend this to anyone wanting a love story.

Fun Sappy Fluff

Having had a huge break in reading - particularly in the YA genre - this was a great book to ease back into a regular reading groove. It was light and goofy and fun with an enjoyable feel good ending.

There was maybe a wee bit too much sap towards the end, but not too much that I didn’t enjoy it.
