This book was okay for me. There were some parts here and there that I just couldn't get through; my eyes kind of glazed over and I skipped those sections. The story plot was mediocre-- there wasn't really anything remarkable about it.

Other than that, the main reason why this book only got a 3 is because of the characters. I hated Margo's narcissistic personality and how she left "clues" in the hopes that people would immediately abandon all to go off on a wild-goose chase for a crazy, constantl ...more

This book has reminded me why I love to read so much! John Green is an astounding writer and I can not think of enough adjectives to describe him and his book. The story was both humorous (when it needed to be) and overall extremely insightful into life. The characters and story are all so believable that I fell right into it all. I will recommend this book to absolutely everyone!

(p.s. I read the poem "Song of Myself" by Walt Whitman while reading this book and it is just all so beautiful.) ...more

This really is a 3 1/2 star book. But I gave it four because it's my best friends favoritest book ever. The only thing that really bothered me was the end, but the end is super important, and since I'm opposed to writing reviews with spoilers, I won't tell you why it bothered me.
But I would tell you to read it, because you should. ...more
