Actual rating 4.5

When you try to review a hyped book that's all over the internet like TFIOS it is rather difficult to start and get your feelings expressed properly, as someone's bound to have said it all anyway.

So I will just get some things of my chest that I want to say nevertheless:
(You will find plenty of proper, gooood reviews here on goodreads if this one is a bit too rambly)

* I really, really enjoyed this book (not that I "enjoyed" the grave topic but yes, you are all book-people who kn ...more

No me emocionó ni me hizo llorar como esperaba.O soy malvada o Green no fue capaz de conmoverme. Isaac es mi favorito.

I'm not a massive fan of YA literature, at least I wasn't until I picked up this book.

But John Green does not talk down to his readers, he addresses them as they should be addressed - as young people of intelligent, enquiring minds.

This story might, at first glance, seem just like every sad and doomed love story. It is not. It IS about first-loves. It IS also about illness. But it is also, and primarily, about life. And not just life, but that intrepid, curious way of life that you have when y ...more
