I never read this book when everybody was raving about it and I came by it last week and felt like I should give it a shot.

John Green his writing style is nice, easy going. His characters feel genuine. The story is a bit predictable, and at times he writes about the book in the book and you just feel like he want his book to be like that book. That turned me off a bit. Also little things that are wrong like 16 year olds being able to get champagne (I checked, this was not a thing when the book came out, it was already changed to 18, and we knew that was coming 4 years before the book came out). Also, the Anne Frank part where people clapped... That was just pure cringe.

So all in all, it was nice. Not great, not deep, not life changing. Probably a good perspective if you want to do day in the life of a cancer patient.
