I bought Paper Towns by John Green because I’m mildly obsessed with him and I loved The Fault in Our Stars. I very unfairly thought I’d be a little disappointed by Paper Towns because I was aware of my high expectations, but I was wrong. It’s fantastic. The Fault in Our Stars is about losing someone you love totally unfairly to cancer. Paper Towns is about losing someone you love out of the blue, not knowing what happened to her, and slowly figuring out that […]
An Abundance of Katherines by John Green
“Do you ever wonder whether people would like you more or less if they could see inside you? But I always wonder about that. If people could see me the way I see myself—if they could live in my memories—would anyone, anyone, love me?” Meh. Not that great, but not horrible. You have to concede to the Katherine thing, even though it’s silly, or don’t even bother trying to read this one. Colin’s dated 19 Katherines. He will eventually explain every one of them to […]
Looking for Alaska by John Green
“I lacked the courage and she had a boyfriend and I was gawky and she was gorgeous and I was hopelessly boring and she was endlessly fascinating. So I walked back to my room and collapsed on the bottom bunk, thinking that if people were rain, I was drizzle and she was hurricane.” Like Caitlin_G mentioned in her review of An Abundance of Katherines, I have unnaturally high expectations of John Green due to reading The Fault in Our Stars before any of his other books. […]
A Cabana Freshened Ink Unto
I finished this book last weekend, and keep meaning to write the review but I think the fact that it escaped me for nearly 5 days says a lot about my reading experience. But let’s start at the beginning. Back for the CBR4 I read The Fault in Our Stars and like most of the other Cannonballers, I loved it. So, I decided to see what else this John Green fellow had written. Being me I needed to start back at the beginning so last […]
An Abundance of Anagrams
The Fault in Our Stars has, hands down, been my favorite book of the year. I passed by An Abundance of Katherines at a Half Price Books and thought I’d see what else John Green had to offer. I should have read AAoK first, because it was a good book- but it wasn’t a great book. Amazon.com: When it comes to relationships, Colin Singleton’s type is girls named Katherine. And when it comes to girls named Katherine, Colin is always getting dumped. Nineteen times, to […]
Okay.
If Staff Sergeant Max Mayhem were here, he’d know exactly what to do. It doesn’t matter that you can’t shoot cancer, because he’d probably find a way. Maybe there’s a spectacular shrinking device that could put Staff Sergeant Max Mayhem (along with Specialist Manny Loco, Private Jasper Jacks and the rest) into the blood stream of someone afflicted with cancer so that a rain of heavy weapons fire would lay decimation to the root of the problem. Maybe there’s another type of bullet, a medicine bullet that […]
