hate johns writing with a burning passion. john if you see this i’m sorry don’t take it personally
At some points John Green made me hate characters, but then comes a time when they're being so lovable, about the storyline, couldn't say no more >.<
I originally rated this book three stars but that was really because I felt pressure to like it like everyone else but unfortunately I think it is more of a one or two star. I think I definitely read this book too late. I couldn’t get over the objectification and sexualization of Alaska by the main character and the fact that he doesn’t even really know her but is just obsessed with his version of her. There is also cheating in this book as well as something else that is a major plot point that I will not spoil but that triggered me almost to the point of giving up on this book. I think the only reason I even finished it was because I was interested in the tv adaptation.

I’m definitely not the target audience for this, but it’s still a well written, age appropriate book for the gifted, moody teen in your life.
The characters are selfish and immature and callous at times, but that can all be forgiven by the fact that they’re all 16-17 year olds at a boarding school (a demographic not known for their emotional availability or communication skills or maturity or warmth).
Alaska Young is who I could have been if I had made worse choices in my youth. Glad I made the best out of the labyrinth, even if I didn’t escape it (nobody does).
The Colonel is a much better friend than Pudge deserves.
