Since the movie's newly out I figured I'd read the book which has stayed at the top of Amazon's Kindle bestseller list for a while now. The plot and characters seem pretty conventional to me, given the type of story that's being told. The two main characters are likeable enough, sometimes sounding like teenagers, but more often than not like literary professors which seemed incongruous to me. I know I am not the target demographic for this book, but I did enjoy it, and Green's writing as well.
