![]() ![]() I also found the subplot about the county fair and the talent show to be a bit pointless. I appreciate the work Mass put into it, but it just was too farfetched and unrealistic for an (otherwise) realistic fiction story. Then, in the end with the big reveal, it changed from coincidental occurrences to unfathomably unbelievable ones. All the right things were happening at the right time. On a more negative note, I found the events of the quest to be entirely too coincidental. I won’t say this book was life-altering and turned me into a more positive, optimistic person… but it did provide me with a gentle reassurance and helped me to value life and find more purpose in it all. I found his quest and existential crisis incredibly relatable to my current view on life and its meaning/purpose. Eventually, though, once Jeremy got on his quest, it became much more interesting and engaging to read. They felt too childish and entirely too predictable. The first few chapters were a bit rough for me. ![]() Review: When I first started this book, I almost put it down immediately. His father has written that this box contains the meaning of life, and it becomes Jeremy’s new mission (with his friend Lizzy) to find the keys (spread all around New York City!) and open the box. Summary: Jeremy Fink’s father passed away years ago, and now, right before his thirteenth birthday, he receives a mysterious locked box from him. ![]()
