's review

it was ok

I just want to know what weed addicted brunette broke JOHN GREEN heart in highs school and gave him enough material for a decade’s worth of identical books.

I have really got nothing to say about this book. It’s shitty like all of this other books no doubt about that!!

Speaking of MILES PUDGE HALTER is a misogynistic piece of shit. Throughout the book he objectifies Alaska and cheats on Lara , he belittles Takumi and is just a whining piss baby.

Rinda Reads I totally agree. I'm not a fan of John Green.

There is something seriously wrong with his writing and the way every character is similar expect for different names!!!


message 3: by Rinda (new)

Rinda Reads I don't know if you've ever read Dan Brown but he's the same way. All characters are the same just different names, plot exactly the same but just takes place in a different city. It's like he created a template and just fills in a few new details for each book. So frustrating.


daph pink ♡ ohh yes i have read all his books!!!!!!
i totally agree with you!


Amber lost in fics Lol🤪


lifeisafuckingrainbow He is a bad writer!


Karen 💫 I don't like his books at all!

i dont get why people love him so much!
all his books are pretty same and shitty!
glad you also dont like him!


Sasha This was such a waste of time, it infuriated me soo much why did I read this!?

i dont get the hype!
it was stupid and shitty!
same here h


Shail Haha my thoughts exactly. I didn’t like Miles or Alaska and the plot (if there was any) was just stupid. His books don’t make sense to me at all.

Honestly idk how he bluffed a whole generation of people into reading and loving his crap!


EnDashVee I was just about to buy the book in an hour. Damn, now I am rethinking it after reading this review....

Don't but it , just read the pdf or EPUB for free , don't waste money on this shit!


EnDashVee Do you know where I can do that? Is there a website or something?


daph pink ♡ Nitin wrote: "Do you know where I can do that? Is there a website or something?"

Prashant I just want to know what weed addicted brunette broke JOHN GREEN heart in highs school and gave him enough material for a decade’s worth of identical books.


Can't agree more, as a very early reader I liked his 1 or 2 books(LFA has been one of my favs lol) but as I grew up I just found out that hypocrisy is not the thing I'm a fan of(at least in reading) and is the exact thing green does.

The repeated behavior of books with a small mask of themes is making readers so attracted without realizing that it's the same old raisin they're eating since the fault in our stars.

and his last one(turtles) was nothing but the same crap with some disease or something theme.
It hurts that they just know one thing readers like and giving the theme of that, readers become weak and accept even the same story without knowing because their hearts are already taken.

yess exactly, john green is so overrated and his crap too!


Jordan I agree highly with the Pudge hate. God, I couldn't stand him the whole time.

Yess Jordan


emma ☽︎ im not that far into the book yet but i agree so far, especially the objectifying is rEALLY ticking me off

Yeah Emma, it's so pathetic can't ignore.

Zawadi Wow! I can really feel your anger through this review, and let me tell you, I can relate! At page 176 and I'm thinking of throwing in the towel with this one, even though I resent not finishing books.

May god give you the will if you decide to complete it

Sure


Praise from the Page YES THANK YOU!! GOD PUDGE IS SUCH AN AWFUL CHARACTER

Anya Deane Ok this is not hate comment but I really liked the book actually but I can see how your points are all very valid which annoys me a little but sometimes I’ve read books where I don’t like the characters morals and things they do or them in general but I still love the book and I found it very entertaining just not my favourite ever book!

🙌 100%

Glad you liked the book though 🫶🙌

definitely on the life of john green lol


message 41: by Amarachi (new)

Amarachi I think miles is supposed to be a piece of shit? Like he was supposed to be a purposeful commentary on this kind of teen boy 😭😭granted this book is a more rudimentary rough portrayal of the theme it is done much better in paper towns. Margo’s last or middle name literally means mirror in German

i agree though


Bethany Grace When Alaska is ranting about the objectification of women and literally ten pages before and every page before Miles is just talking about her body, how’s she’s so petite and skinny but somehow is super curvy 😭 so so gross, really made Alaska be a feminist so she’d seem complex and cool but she was so appallingly written


daph pink ♡ Bethany wrote: "When Alaska is ranting about the objectification of women and literally ten pages before and every page before Miles is just talking about her body, how’s she’s so petite and skinny but somehow is ..."

Just like any other John green girl


Rebecca Wickham I disagree that they're similar. For example, one is about a girl who runs away from home, one is about a girl with ocd, one is about a girl with cystic fibrosis and a boy with cancer and one is about a girl who commits suicide. The only similarity is that they are all books based for young people who are experiencing similar issues.. like every other young adult book

maybe and also opinions vary

Stevie i agree entirely. i just wasted two days of my brain on this book. it was like i read that story for no reason LOL
