I may disagree with some of this author’s beliefs, but his writing is brilliant. For him to experience what he did and imagine this book while in the grips of severe anxiety/agoraphobia is wonderful. This is no ET, and can be both sweet and violent, as humans can be. I liked Midnight Library more, but I still like this one for its loving and funny stories in times of great stress.

His words were so true as to remind me of my own complicated ways of being. This book is a way to mirror our own truths about being human .

It an emotional roller coaster and gets you thinking.

Amazing. How does he do this enchantment? Thankfully he does!

The Midnight Library is one of the best books I’ve read in years, so I had high hopes for The Humans. Unfortunately I can’t say that it was anywhere near as good. A painfully slow read with many inconsistencies and plot holes, cheesy love tropes and tired life advice that sounds like it came from a fortune cookie. The ending was totally anticlimactic but at that point I was just glad to have finished the book. Sorry I don’t mean to sound harsh, but if you’re looking to read this book because you are a fan of the Midnight Library, it won’t compare. I will still read some of his others, hoping this one was just a fluke.

Such an excellent writer; I’ve loved every book he’s written from The Midnight Library to A Boy Called Christmas. An amazing storyteller that makes me smile, laugh and cry. My hope is that all his books become movies. The fact he comes from the town my son in law is from just makes his stories more enjoyable since he talks about the different areas in England he’s lived. Love his books! Jill Hardy

Not just a great read, though it is, this book has an amazing ability to describe and think about our experience as people. Funny and at times poignant. Never dull. A wonderful book!

Fun to read. Insightful and satisfying. You’ll enjoy it.

I think I’ll be reading this again, and again, and...again.

I cried. Twice.
