A Goodreads user asked this question about All the Bright Places:
Is this an overrated book (since it has been compared to Eleanor & Park and The Fault In Our Stars) or is it worth buying? Opinions, anyone? :)
St. Gerard Expectant Mothers That's hard to say. We would assume that all teen angst books would be overrated but again that's a matter of opinion.

I've enjoyed Fault in Our Stars and Eleanor & Park but I wasn't wowed by any of them. Then again, I'm in the older male demographic and don't buy into any convincing teen romances even though I have to review them for our indie bookstore. I look more into the characters and storyline. Yes, it's dark but I found the two characters Finch and Violet appealing. Despite the sad undertone, the pair make light of their situation and even add a little humor which I appreciate. Certainly, some readers are not going to like it while others might. Again, it depends on your preference and what you prefer to read.(less)
