Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe

I think the hype for this book got to me and I was kinda underwhelmed by the writing style. It's almost entirely dialogue driven to the point that I don't even know what these main characters look like or what the general environment looks like. It is a nice coming of age story but in recent years I think film and literature have been so packed with those that they've become all similar to me.
