What a great realistic fiction novel. Truly, it was brilliant!
First of all, please don't let the blurb put you off. It sounds really weird and confusing.
John Green has such a captivating and I don't know, READABLE writing style. It's really hard to describe, but his writing is crisp and exciting. He has a way of producing perhaps the nost realistic characters I have read about. Margo deals with a whole lot of crap, and she rebels. Q's friends are nerds but hey, that's life. You find all of these things in the world.
The story line was entwined around morals and I loved this. Although this novel appeared black and white, it is so much more than that. It is about hope and forgiveness, and self discovery. It's just so real.
The description in this book was wonderful. At times I did wish the pace would pick up, however now having fully read it, I can completley understand why it didn't.
I cannot wait to check out more of John Greens books, any suggestions?
