One extra star for that ending! And now I am ready to watch the film! (yay!) Okay to get to the point, I enjoyed the book, because I am continuously picking up heavy adult reads and an easier language to grasp is always a pleasure. Reading through the book, I went through three phases: - This is like 'Looking for Alaska' - Oh no... now it is like 'All the bright places' - Oh... it's also 'Papertowns'! Yep! Nonetheless. The book had a hold on me from the beginning to the end, I know for a fact that I will love the film more... such stories, I guess impact you more when you see them as books like these are about the Lil moments, the shared experiences such as with the friends, the sister, and the one we are looking for, and I do enjoy when I see them. (Not the best reason to give but people who know will know? hopefully) Otherwise an okay to a good read.
Well that was underwhelming. This book tries too hard to come across like a John Green novel. It was way too quirky. Instead of Hazel Grace, Henry, the main character, calls the girl by her full name, Grace Town. They pretend to have an imaginative family with a fish, Ricky Martin Knupps II, as their son. They assigned each other by Germanic/Russian names. He describes her soul as “made of stardust and chaos”. They spend their night sitting at a train station fishpond and talk about the universe and death. But what irritated me the most is how he talked about her towards the end of the book. Grace goes missing and he wonders: “Grace on a houseboat? Doing what? Having another existential crisis?” Two pages later: “Then I started to think about how Manic Pixie Dream Girls committed suicide. Did they their Dutch bicycles on photographic train tracks until a midnight express came along to clean them up? Did they drown themselves in their secret fishponds?” Apparently, he’s in love with her. But looking at the way he thinks about her, it clearly doesn’t seem so. To me, it seems like he’s making fun of her grief. This book was so full of clichés and the ending wasn’t even surprising.
