I haven't read any other John Green books, so I can't compare this to those. I did really like this one. I also don't care what they say-I DO judge books by their covers all the time. I saw the bright sunny cover and made assumptions about the content; the copy I borrowed from the library had the washed-out blue cover with Margo looking disheveled. Today I had a debate with some high schoolers about which cover was a better reflection of the book. They made interesting points; I thought my cover

I'm not a huge Green fan, but the book is much better than the movie. I'm intrigued by his ability to write an entertaining novel that is also almost an essay on Whitman.

Not quite LfA or TFiOS, but still an inspiring and illuminating read. Anyone want to go on a spontaneous road trip?
