I don't know but I think reading a book in school makes me automatically dislike them. Because you're forced to read it and you discuss the characters bad sides more with your friends. But I still love reading so I think school only should be a school reading fiction :) The problem was that I didn't feel a thing when I read it. I wasn't sad, I wasn't happy - only laughed a few times, and not really my main interest in the philisophic questions the author made. I don't really care what happens after you die, because I already have a belief. And I already know how to come out of the labyrinth of suffering (I think) in my personal view. The characters were also really similar to the ones in paper towns (another book by John Green)
