FIOS: Chapters 2-4

My notes:
Chapter 2: Doesn't have much detail.
Hazel (or any characters) isn't really defined.
Hate the name Gus.
They don't talk like teenagers!!!!
I like the last few lines of this
Chapter 3: Not amazing so far, but it's quick and easy to read.
Everyone speaks the exact same way, but somehow it seems deliberate. Why does Green write this way?
Chapter 4: I love Augustus' texts/reactions to the end of the book.
This is just really weird so far ...
Is she going to meet the author later?
Who would end a book mid-sentence?

Chapter 2-Now, I'm scared of driving as it is, but having "Gus" drive me anywhere would be down right traumatizing.
Has anyone else ever seen "V is for Vendetta?" I can't really picture Hazel as the actress (at the moment I can't remember her name. *head desk* Annoying!).
I think it's sad Agustus quit basketball, if he ws so good, though I do see why.
"AIA," sounds like a good book.
Gus' book does not (Gus is only slightly better than Agustus).
Chapter 3-How could she get hooked on Gus' book? It sounds so...guyish.
I think it's sad Hazel and Katelyn aren't very close. Hazel seems to need a girl friend.
I think it was kind of cute that she let the little girl (Jackie?) use her cannula. I would have gotten really uncomfortable when a little kid asked me why I had tubes in my nose.
Chapter 4-Who would tell a guy as (apparently) perfect as Gus to wait to see her until he finishs reading AIA?
It's nice to see that she and her mom get along well.
I felt so bad for Isaac when I read that Monica dumped him (jerk!).
But when he went crazy and broke stuff, I probably would've gotten freaked out.

In this chapter, Hazel and Augustus become closer friends and they swap their favorite books with each other. What did you guys think of Chapters 2, 3, and 4?
