Love love love love love. Now onto A Clash of Kings :)

I really liked this book.
It has changed my views on many things.
To be specific, it has made me realise just how fleeting life really is.
And how important it is to seize the day and to make the most of what you have.

Edit: On a re-read I found it a lot more emotional, I think it was probably because I knew when it would be sad. So it was a bit premeditated. Oh well.
Still an amazing book. The symbolism and metaphors completely take my breath away. In my opinion John Green in an amazing author, and I can honestly say he is my favourite.

Edit: 10th or so re read... Still really emotional, but I've actually started to read it imagining what the characters would be like played by Ansel, Shai and Nat... I am very excited for this movie... That is all that I need to say!
I can see them playing their characters perfectly. Completely! And after watching Stuck in Love, I am completely certain that Nat Wolff is a perfect Isaac!

I really enjoyed reading this. I honestly didn't know what to expect and I was pleasantly surprised. I loved the easy style of the writing and the interesting plot. It was just a pleasure to read and I can't wait to both see the film adaptation and to read the next book in the series!

This series, wow. I just loved it! I read it so quickly and I just loved the story and the idea and the characters and I just highly recommend it to everyone. Seriously.

I feel that to enjoy this book you need to believe in the idea that the universe provides and everything happens for a reason. I do not. And that has made reading this book incredibly difficult.
I personally did not enjoy this book, I found the story to be very cliche and very uneventful. I only finished it because I hoped that it would get more exciting, and it did not.
I do have to say however that it was very well written and I thoroughly enjoyed how the author interwove the different characters stories.
