This is a great book for the LGBT community and just for anyone that likes fantasy. There are a few problems in the book, as there usually is in any book, but it was still a great read.
Pros:
•gay/lesbian
•cute story
•wasn't just focused around the gay/lesbian aspects
•magic
Cons:
•all adults were dumb
•not enough background
•seems like the medieval/magical theme is way too popular lately
•that's pretty much it

This book is so boring.
Most of John Green's books are, but this one didn't really have a plot. It was just a boring, lonely guy that likes people's last words, going to a new school, liking a weird, hot, bipolar chick, who *spoiler alert* dies. And it wasn't even, like, a cool death that led him to her past. It was a random, out of the blue, meaningless death. He doesn't figure out why, he doesn't figure out anything about her, and he just goes on with his life without caring.
This book just bothered me.
The only things I liked were the last words, because I've never even thought of people's last words and now I can't stop looking them up.
I gave the book three stars because John Green does good with each character having their own distinct thing about themselves (like liking people's last words) and he's good at hitting you deep.

This book seems to have no plot besides two people with the same name meeting. The only reason I gave this book three stars is because the end was kind of cute and I liked that it was about gays and still managed to get on the New York Times Bestseller list.
Good book and twist-ending, but the writing wasn't my favorite. It might just be because I'm used to reading young adult books, but the writing style just bore me.
This book was recommended by a friend only because of it's terribleness. And, I gotta say, she was right. I'm not trying to be mean here, but I don't like any of John Green's books. Or any teen romance novel really. So this book was not in my interest in the first place besides the fact that I wanted to be able to talk with my friend about how terrible it was.
Reasons it was terrible:
•Like, no plot
•Boring
•He tries to get deep, and I think he fails. Like all of his books.
•Literally steals things (like, exact sentences and ideas) from his other books
•Has the same skinny, boring, sensitive, low self-esteemed, loser teenage boy like in most of his books
•Did I mention it's so boring
Reasons it was good:
•Had a Muslim kid, which I guess was pretty cool
•I like math, so I liked that part (even though everything after the basic algebra and graphing made no sense)
•It made me laugh out loud a couple times
Like I said, I'm not trying to be mean (I gave the book three stars for Christ's sake), so don't be mad if you liked the book.
If you like John Green, teen fiction, teen romance, or all of the above, then this book is probably good for you. I'm just not into most of that stuff.
