It's not something I can identify with, at all, but his writing feels really authentic... even with the overwrought dialog... yes I'm mostly over my issues with that.<br /><br />In my background reading I found out John Green was a chaplain at a children's hospital, so it kind of makes sense.<br /><br />I love how in some ways, this is a super romantic love story, and in some ways, Hazel and Augustus are regular teens. I struggled with Augustus being so "perfect" and wordy and whatnot, but when he slept with Hazel BEFORE telling her about his condition, well, that was a seriously shitty, selfish thing to do. In other words - spot on for a teenage boy. And doesn't make him a bad person or anything, but it makes him human... I don't know, I don't feel like other people are reading it that way, but I was kind of shocked!<br /><br />I was also kind of disappointed that the sex scene was all "fade to black"... but I guess that's the limitation of the genre :)Laurahttp://reading-in-bed.comnoreply@blogger.com
