I finnished this book within 4 hours. it is far from an amazing peice of literature, but none the less it was gorgeous and I loved it. John Green has such a way with words and story telling I find it hard to put his work down. this is the first fiction book my John Green I've read, and while I perfer his non-fiction stuff, this follows very closely behind. there I a quote from this book that I've thought about almost daily since my first read of this book years ago: "we always say that we are beneath the stars. we aren't, of course - there is no up or down, and anyway the stars surround us. but we say we are beneath them, which is nice. so often english glorifies the human - we are whos, other animals are that's- but english puts us beneath the stars at least."
