In important story for both those struggling with mental illness, especially OCD and those who know people struggling with mental illness. As always John Green develops very deep characters and while this may not be my favourite novel by him, it's potentially his most important. Thanks for this novel John.

It was a pretty enjoyable book, but I had a few issues with it. Once Alaska died, Pudge got pretty annoying. And I get he was in love with her and that he wanted/needed answers but he became completely narrow sited into believing he was the only one who cared, and I don't think anyone when they loose someone thinks like that. I do love how the book ended with the final essay for religion, that was very clever.

A solid 3.5, I really enjoyed the character development but the main character got a little annoying at times. The plot was fairly predictable from around halfway in so if unpredictable plot twists are important to you, avoid this one. The audiobook was really well narrated. I typically don't enjoy books written by australian authors who's stories are based in australia and specifically melbourne, since I live here. This book was good though as it realistically could have taken place in any city around the world. Would recommend reading but don't expect the most amazing book in the world.

A very strong, very powerful story, felt a little repetitive at times but still a great first novel, it's a shame she never fully got to finish the book though

A phenomenal play showing the ins and outs of human reasoning. Showing how sometimes what we are shown isn't necessarily the truth whilst still leaving the question of, “is the jury right or not?”. This is a work of art.
