5By Basketball-chimp-moviestarMr Green is amazing at exploring our world. With each chapter, he pulls meaning out of anything to reveal deeper truths that are both funny and sad.The Antroprocene Reviewed
5By nsperaBest book I have read in ages!!!My favorite of John Green’s works thus far.
5By mrwafflestoesI have been a fan of John Green since I was in high school, and I’ve read his books over and over, but this one is definitely my favorite. It’s beautifully written, and thought provoking. It’s full of insight. And I even learned about a lot of things I didn’t know previously. I definitely recommend this book.
