Well done literary YA. It was weird reading a boarding school book set in present day Alabama rather than, like, 1950s England. But I can see why there's been so much buzz about this (tho' you do have to have a stomach for reading about boys mooning over girls), and it obviously made a big impact on its target audience -- in the back of the library copy, several kids had written their own advice for life. N'awww.

Bridge to Terabithia, boarding school style. Quick, bittersweet read, good for when you ate ready to have just a little bit of a cry. Enjoyed the conceit of the narrator being preoccupied with famous last words--leave it Green to give every male character an aggressively intellectual quirk!
This book is, quite simply, fucking great. I can't believe I have never been on the John Green wagon before this. I'm sorry, John Green. Forgive me. This is the first book I've read in ages (and I read well over 100 books per year) that made me feel completely engrossed and invested in STORY, not just interested in being a scholar.

Audiobook.
I enjoyed this story, though not as much as The Fault in our Stars (unsurprising since this is Green's first book). I found this book to be more impressive, though, in the way he captures the mindset of teenagers. It felt so real, even though the experience was so different from my own. ...more

Really good, in a different way from An Abundance of Katherines. I loved the Colonel.
