The Daily Something

Just finished my final John Green book... and I have to say I'm glad I did this one last. This is the only one of his books that really ends on a really happy note, and thats really good! And this is the only one that I really wanted to have a happy ending. Paper Towns and Looking for Alaska, I didn't want the guy to get the girl. The Fault in Our Stars would have been HORRIBLE with a happy ending... thats kind of the point and this one I really felt like if it didn't end on a happy note.. it would be bad. I didn't actually like this book when I started... well I didn't dislike it, but its much harder to read. Its a book about a smart person,  written by a smart person and its kind of for smart people. Not that I'm not smart, but following the footnotes and stuff was kind of hard especially since I read it RIGHT after finishing The Fault in Our Stars. The Fault in Our Stars kind of took its time with the ending and explaining the aftermath of it all, which is ...

So I'm actually going to do 2 posts on this. One will be this review and the other will be a look at the discussion questions in the back of the book... so this is just a general review and overview and then in a few days I'll have something too long that no one will read but I'm gonna have fun with. So yeah. This is the first John Green book I read, and I just started Looking For Alaska and his characters are all really really amazing. They're kind of one-note but also multi dimensional in one. Margo in this is a very complicated person and she thinks she's just a "paper girl" looking for something more or something less maybe even. And they were really relatable because it was like you were getting to know them through reading these books. And everything about it was all very high school. In reading this I felt like I had a lot of flashbacks to when I was in high school and my small adventures felt like big ones... and I really thought it worked well...
