Review from July 2010: [So I'm obviously behind right now, but I wanted to write this because I've just finished this and I want to review it while it's relatively fresh in my head. I don't read many YA novels anymore, which I see as a good thing, but I'd heard lots of good things about this book ...

Questa volta Green non è riuscito a convincermi del tutto :(Anzi, ancora peggio.. Ho fatto una fatica incredibile ad ingranare con la storia, che mi ha realmente preso da poco prima della metà.. Poi certo, Green è Green, quindi alla fine il libro merita 4 stelline, però sento una leggera stonatura r...

I put this book on my TBR challenge list this year because I'd been staring at it for a while. My first book by John Green was The Fault in Our Stars and you know how I loved it... So I wanted to experience more of Mr. Green's words and stories and I actually really kind of enjoyed this story. I say...

I really am not sure how to rate this one. It's nice to read a YA book where the guy and girl don't actually get together in the end. But the characters are still ultimately douchebags.

Wow, I have no idea where to start with this one. Not even because I have a whole lot to say (because I kind of don’t), but because I just can’t get my thoughts in a line about this novel. I’ll begin by saying that I am a John Green fan. He is such a terrific author and he uses literary devices so f...

Wow, I was looking for something to read and happened upon this. I loved it! What a thrill and sweet story that I finished in a day. What a great writer I will be looking into his other novels for sure.

“…It’s a paper town. I mean look at it, Q: look at all those cul-de-sacs, those streets that turn in on themselves, all the houses that were built to fall apart. All those paper people living in their paper houses, burning the future to stay warm. All the paper kids drinking beer some bum bought for...

Pros: funny, good dialog (mostly), quirky facts, listsCons: too many epiphanies, Orlando is a dead-eyed town built on a Hellmouth, JG gets too carried away with character conversation at times
