[...] feels like ages since I’ve read a young-adult book, so when I read a review of this book over at Claire’s (@Paperback Reader), I wanted to read the book. Plus, I loved the cover! [...]

I wanted to go on that roadtrip, too. Despite the underlying seriousness of his books, Green always manages to write adventures that I want to fall into.

I do shy away from YA (and have strongly disliked the less than half a dozen I’ve read in the past two years) but thanks for the recommendation. When I’m feeling brave I’ll have to give it a try.

What I love about John Green, beyond his novels, is how he’s changing the whole YA reputation to those who don’t read much YA. He’s just so sensitive and spot-on and funny.

I haven’t read this one, but I’m sure I’ll pick it up when I next go to the bookstore. I mean, I think I’ll eventually read all of John Green eventually. :]

This was such a charming book for me. I loved the quirky way Green captured adolescence.

I have this and I loved ‘Looking for Alaska’, must get on it. It can’t hurt that real people are stories is very relevant to my own interactions with the world and something that intrigues me – some people put such barriers in the way of really knowing others, preferring what they think they know and at the same time I’m still not sure I’ve totally gotten past making up people sometimes, rather than knowing them.

Oooh my iPhone makes me cross I commented on this yesterday and it didnt put it up! Grrr.

Anyways I wanted to say thank you for pointing out what sounds like an interesting read and one I had never heard or, nor the author either. I might get this for my little sister who seems to have developed the book addiction only rather earlier than her big brother… shes twelve!

I’ve seen this book around, but you’re the first person to persuade me to add it to the wishlist. I hope that I enjoy it as much as you did.

I’m so glad you loved it, Claire! And I can’t wait to hear what you think of Looking for Alaska.

This line made me laugh out loud: “Perhaps I have the emotional maturity of a highschool senior… ” I’ve often wondered the same about myself, and it must be *really* true in my case, considering the number of YA books that have a real emotional impact on me

I read very little YA (only 1 or 2 a year), but so many bloggers seem to love this. I’ll start looking around for it.
