I love John Green, and I think he's a great writer. I just don't think his books are that great. This is my second by him, and once again I'm left underwhelmed. I feel like he takes cheap shots at tearjerkers, and I just can't stand that.For the length of this book, it took me way too long to finish...
I finished this book this morning on the way to work. I don’t know why I like the book. Probably because it’s everything I wanted to experience as a teenager but never had the guts to. This book gave me my teenage years back and I liked it. Sure, the story is sad and the second half of the book play...
I read this book for Banned Books Week. I think it was challenged for inappropriate language and sexual nature or something like that. Anyways, it's a mature YA in that aspect. I am an adult that reads much more explicit all the time, but it did surprise me a little. I guess I've forgotten how i...
Looking for Alaska By John Green I give Looking for Alaska 4 stars out of 5. In my opinion, it wasn't the easiest book to read but I think that happens when you have complicated/messed up characters. Even when not knowing a few of the words, you feel like you understand every moment in the book tho...
I can see why this book is popular among lit teachers. It's full of THEMES and BIG IDEAS. Forgiveness. Friendships. Love. Relationships. Teenagers. Mortality. It's also about 16-year-olds who swear (a lot), get drunk (a lot), smoke (a lot), and have sex (a lot). I won't offer Looking for Alaska ...
You can trace growth if you follow Green’s novels in the order they came out. In Alaska, he used literature as a way to live his fantasies. On Stars, he used literature to come to terms with a devastating experience. Paper Towns is a direct response to Alaska. If that one was wish-fulfillment, this ...
Before I picked this up I’d already read one John Green book, Paper Towns, and because I wasn’t hugely impressed by that one, it took me quite a while to pick up another by him. I’m really glad to say that I enjoyed this one much more, though. It’s been days since I finished it and even though I rea...
My thoughts on finishing this? Thanks God it's finished!!I didn't get the point of this book. I didn't connect with the characters or the storyline and I just wanted it over with.This is my second book by the author and I have to say The Fault in our Stars, for me, was a lot more engaging--or it was...
