I read this more than a year ago, and since then I've had more time to let it settle and since then I've realized that this book... really isn't all that great. I couldn't quite put my thoughts into words as to why it didn't settle with me very well, but I found a very good and long blog post about it. I initially enjoyed it, but now with the giant fuss about it, I've really thought long and hard about this book and decided that I don't really like it all that much.

Even though I like this cover, I wish it reflected the story more than it does.

I liked that the characters had a good attitude on life. Of course i was hoping for a happier ending. When Hazel thinks of herself like a bomb and wants to distance herself to help protect people, I liked how Augustus helps her to see how important relationships are.
