I honestly don't understand what the fuss is about this book. I had a very hard time finishing it. The characters annoyed me and the plot was just uninteresting to me. Sometimes the books are so beautifully written that you just overlook all of the above but this one was just not.

I read this book in two days. John Green was a recommendation from my students, to whom I should probably listen more often. They wanted me to read "The Fault in Our Stars," but I knew it was about death and I wasn't sure it was in the mood for it. But now, by reading this, I can see what they meant in saying Green deals with heavy, serious issues with laugh-out-loud humor. The novel is poignant and will leave me thinking about it for a long time to come. Definitely recommended for young adults,

It took me 3 days, because for the first two days I just read 60 pages and went 'that's enough of this for now,' but today I read about 100 pages (not all at once only because I went shopping in the middle) and I really felt for the characters. John Green really is a good author, and I loved the FAQs at the end of the book.

I really enjoyed this book. A few of my students said they really liked it so I read it...and it was an easy read with a good story line.
