Why read it?

1 author picked Found as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Found is a striking, engaging, original, highly intelligent piece of fiction, with themes that run as deep as the questions it raises, the laughter it inspires, the empathy it stirs. Found takes a sci-fi premise and elevates it into a clever meditation on humanity, often from an extraterrestrial perspective. One does not have to love sci-fi to love Found. One needs only to love powerful storytelling, layered, believable characters, and a perfect blend of pathos and humour to find this novel to be a rewarding read. A brilliant debut.
