EDIT 17/10/2016: I am so horrendously late to the party, but the movie is awesome. It keeps the humor and self-aware nature of the novel and adds just a pinch of poignancy to make it feel worthwhile. Because the book doesn't take itself seriously enough and I love that about it, but I also love how the producers tweaked it for a more mainstream audience. They're both brilliant on their own. Side mini-rant: How on earth did it gross less than The Fault in Our Stars? It's an outrage. (OriginalThis was funny and realistic and I kinda don't really know how to feel about it
Not that funny as I excepted. Definitely a great contempoary for these days. Highly recommend it.Full review to come!
4-4.5 stars Me and Earl and the Dying Girl: YA book #3 for me in 2016. It was a really good pick! Thank you to my bestie for suggesting we do this one on audio together! So before I get into this review, lets chat for a minute. Anyone who knows me knows I collect signed books. I have hundreds. Its a problem (not really but) Anyways, I was in a different city in a bookstore with my husband and in-laws. Im texting Beverly and shes all Chris- see if they have hardback copies of this book were
The humor was crude just for the sake of being crude and I didn't laugh once. The main character is unlikeable in an attempt to make the book realistic, but in reality it was just annoying. This book tried so hard to be edgy and real... Oh and don't even get me started on the fact that the girl had no agency and her illness was still used as a motivator for the male main character... even though the book kept insisting that it "wasn't the usual cancer book". Spoiler alert: that's what every
That was a weird little book.
