Summary

When author Kevin J. Kennedy began receiving unmarked boxes filled with journals and scattered notes from an unknown sender, he was baffled. But confusion soon gave way to obsession. The mysterious stranger’s story drew him in, each page revealing tantalising fragments of a man consumed by his perception of flaws in the universe—and by a haunting belief that nothing is real. As Kevin sifted through the cryptic entries, he became consumed—piecing together the puzzle, chasing the truth, and desperately trying to uncover why these journals had found their way to him.

A dark novella, told in epistolary fashion, where mystery unravels into an exploration of existentialism and nihilism.

My Review

5/5 Stars

Is everything real? Is nothing at all?

Kevin J Kennedy asks the important questions in Nothing is Real.

I wouldn’t exactly call this a novel, it’s more like a collection of journal entries about a variety of topics that will stir up some existential dread and make you think about the world around you. The premise of this is interesting because a lot of the ideas mentioned in this book are thoughts I’ve had at some point in the past.

I read this book twice actually just to really dive down the rabbit hole.

This is different from any story I’ve read recently. If you want to pick up something that will make you stop and stare at the wall to collect your thoughts, this is perfect.
