Overly hyped, and not near as impressive as I was hoping for. Dissing Lurlene McDaniel's books did not help, either. I loved her books about teens with cancer, and the OLW foundation that helped them.

I have never understood people who avoid tear stimulus like books and movies. I would rather process a grief past or enduring, or a future possible pain through the well written stories of others.

I gave this 5/5 stars.
Full review on my blog coming soon acascadeofbooks.blogspot.com
My thoughts:
1. Lived up to my expectations, it's just as good as everyone says.
2. The characters are great- Augustus is like the perfect guy!
3. I loved all the book references
4. This book made me feel better about myself, I guess it gave me hope in a way
5. The ending, sob, so good but so sad! ...more
