On the back of this book is a review that states: "laugh out loud funny". When I saw who the author was I believed it was probably true. I previously read "Looking for Alaska" and laughed in the quiet air around me during that one. But this one: Even Funnier. I actually belly-laughed...especially the group fight scene. I appreciate Green because he has an undeniable talent for writing friendships that feel real and dialogue that backs them up. His characters are people you have met before or wish you knew--Hassan in particular, I loved. He was my hero in this book. All in all, it is smart, funny and a fast read.
