Saying that makes me sound like I'm stereotyping teens, and I wouldn't want to do that.

I would have thought the dialogue to be too witty too, but for the fact that John Green and his brother Hank are uber-witty and talk just like that and probably ALWAYS talked like that.rhapsodyinbookshttp://rhapsodyinbooks.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5078315941472495277.post-5227291839183837902013-04-12T01:18:13.903-07:002013-04-12T01:18:13.903-07:00I too had to read a library copy, mum making me cu...I too had to read a library copy, mum making me curve my spending on books :( I think it was worth more than 3 stars!

I loved this book with all of my soul. I loved the characters, I loved the dialogue, it chewed me up and spit me out and I was left wanting more. I can see where you could read it and feel that it was rigged and contrived, but for me I bought into it hook line and sinker. I let it have its way with me. I was ready to stalk Green at his home in Indy. Would highly recommend the audio as well. So...oh well! Oh and by the way, I loved your last secretary but this one is even dearer!Sandynoreply@blogger.com
