- Latest Review: To Paint A Murder by E. J. Gandolfo
- I thought the whole revenge romp went on too long at the beginning of the story. At some point, I thought this is getting ridiculous. I thought this entire section could have been edited and shortened.
- I thought Margo's character was too strange and I didn't find her actions believable.
- The middle of the story dragged a little. I wanted to get on with Quentin's search for Margo. The prom storyline was not my cup of tea.

Ah! I'm so glad to find someone that is on the same page as me with this book. I kept getting frustrated and thinking, "Oh, you silly young kids. Why are you doing this?" Margo was so selfish, which I found very frustrating. I posted a clip from the upcoming movie in this forum yesterday. I watched the clip, and it just made me think that the movie looked just as boring as the book! haha! The problem is, I really like John Green! I love his videos for MentalFloss, and I think he has a lot of talent in writing and capturing the teen spirit. However, this book just didn't capture me.gali wrote:I have finished it today and overall found it rather pointless. This is the first book I have read by John Green and probably the last. I enjoyed the writing, but thought the plot was weak and the mission and the road trip endless. It started well and then went downhill. I thought the revenge romp went on too long, the middle was very slow and the ending was disappointing. I think the whole book should have been edited and shortened. I didn't like Margo and found her selfish and self-centered. I liked Q, but found his actions odd. Some parts were funny, but most were boring. I rate it 2 out of 4 stars.
