Kudos to Jesse Andrews for an incredible debut novel. I loved the way it was written. Everything was very real and raw. I loved the insertion of script pages for conversations and how Greg talks to the reader. I did think the story of (view spoiler)[Greg and Earl making Rachel a film (hide spoiler)] would have appeared a little earlier in the story, at least that's what the movie trailer made it look like, but I didn't mind learning more about Greg and his world first. I haven't watch the movie yet, but the trailer made me pick up this book and I wasn't disappointed. Now after reading it, the movie is next on my list. This book was also a quick read, so if you're looking for a story that sucks you in that you can read relatively quickly, this ones for you. 
 Getting a little more into the book, there were definitely a few parts that made me laugh out loud. Greg is a funny narrator and it's interesting to see from his perspective. I also really appreciated how real the story was. Usually in stories like this, the author wraps it up with a happy ending, but I thought this was a realistic ending that also gave you a little hope for Greg (view spoiler)[and his future as a filmmaker (hide spoiler)]. I was also surprised a little by the ending and how it turned out that (view spoiler)[this entire book he had written was basically a book-sized letter for the college he was getting suspended from for his bad grades while he dealt with all the chaos in his life (hide spoiler)]. Overall I really enjoyed this book and can't wait for Jesse Andrews to come out with another one. I'll definitely be checking it out.
