 it was ok. if this had been my first John Green book i probably wouldn't have wanted to read another one though. then again, maybe i would have liked it more if i hadn't been comparing it to The Fault in our Stars. guess i'll never know.

 i enjoyed this book much more this time. i don't know if that is because i listened to it instead, or because i understood it better this time. i guess it could possibly be because i have become obsessed with John Green and his brother since the first time i read it so now i am bias. either way, i had to up the rating.
