I finished it because I can't let a book go undone. I regret that choice. There were some funny parts, but it was anticlimactic overall. The only thing I really enjoyed were the references to other literature. The ending did not make me happy.

Overall pretty good! I think John Greens writing is really well done and beautiful. The story is fun and intriguing! The road trip is really fun to read. There are many quotes from the book that I liked and were meaningful and relatable.
But it was just so unrealistic, but trying to be realistic. No high schooler thinks like this. And it felt slow at some parts because there were so many clues to find and follow and they kept going back to the same places. I hated the ending. It just felt unfinished.
But overall, the writing was really good and it was an enjoyable read!

Probably my least favourite of his books but it was still a nice read. I didn't really connect with the characters or the plot like I did with his other books, however.

Powerful read, I really enjoyed it. Having just graduated college I feel like If I had read this a few years ago I would have been enthralled with the characters. However once again John Green captures characters so realistically I can't help but continue thinking about them.

I know some people liked it more than TFiOS, but I didn't. BUT I still absolutely loved this book! I think John Green is amazing, and this book was really funny as well.
