dark emotional sad

i don't really know what to think of this book. it made me quite uncomfortable with some topics like death, and the getting drunk and smoking stuff was just too much like we get it!! but yeah idk maybe if i read it a couple of years ago i would've enjoyed it more

A must-read for every John Green fan.

From a book banning perspective ... SHUT UP ALREADY... there is nothing in this book that should keep it out of the hands of people. Do I think that you should pay attention if your kid is reading it, and then have the IMPORTANT and tough discussions about suicide, alcohol use, smoking, and sexual activity... YES but let's be honest, you should be having those conversations already anyways as a responsible and caring parent or caregiver. 

From a literary perspective... I found this book well written and engaging. I didn't like the characters, but not because they were underdeveloped... but rather because they as "humans" weren't my cup of tea... that was part of the allure of the book through. It highlighted some of the "worst" or flawed parts of adolescence that we don't like... certainly in ourselves... but even in others. 

This really was a good read, and from an audio perspective, the narration was well done. 

Not his best, but still good.

I really wanted to like this book. I really wanted it to make me feel differently about John Green. But it didn’t. It was just as unoriginal and angsty and ambiguous as every other book I’ve read by him. So disappointed.

LOVE John Green! Great book.
