Summer Reading Assignment: Entry 2

I have continued to read Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe.  The two main characters aren't very complicated or complex.  However, Dante is more complicated than Aristotle.  Aristotle just wants friends, probably a girlfriend at first, and he wants his family to be ok and complete again.  Dante is also looking for a relationship and more friends/some friends.  However, his family is ok and fine.  Also, he is the one actually looking to try to answer some of the questions of the universe.  I personally do not think that he will end up getting answers for those questions, but you guys can form your own opinions of the book.  The book is structured where events just keep the book going, and the book contains nothing like real flashbacks.  The events just occur as the book goes along, but there are things that Aristotle remembers about his past.

With what i have read so far, there appears to be only 1 real theme in the book so far.  This theme is: Your actions can have bad consequences.  This is true because of Aristotle's brother, who you will find out about when you read the book, as i will not spoil anything for you guys.
