Yes! Another John Green!

The statement written in purple was written before I started to read the book. Look...look at how innocent and enthusiastic I was. 

I finished this book two days ago, and I have wanted to write a review since. However, I am just NOW allowing myself to write a review and this is why: I AM MAD. So so so mad. So mad. 

But Amanda, you gave this book a 10... why are you mad?

Just read it.

John Green, I cursed your existence Friday night, while at the same time I am very happy you wrote the book.

So enough. The book is about Hazel Grace, teenage girl who has a case of terminal lung cancer. Simply, she feels as though she is a constant state of drowning. In John Green style, she is a character who is sarcastic, humorous and the type of person you would want as your best friend. She is pushed by her hovering parents to Cancer Support Group where she meets and falls in love with one Augustus Waters. Augustus has quirks of his own, and the two depart on a new type of Green road trip, that is to another continent. The story that follows will make you laugh. It will make you cry. 

Looking for Alaska was the first Green novel I read. It was also the first book that I cried during. This book simultaneously follows in its footsteps and surpasses it, as it had me blubbering for almost an hour...for the last 70 pages! 

It was a phenomenal book, but from John Green I would expect no less.
