... Is unfortunately the only word that comes to mind. I really wanted to like this book, because everyone does it, but I'm just not so become warm. I congratulate John Green to his attempt to write an atypical YA book with a smart female lead character, but unfortunately he has thereby completely exaggerated. This pseudo-intellectual babble of the two is simply impossible as realistic Jugendsprache through, even if he scatters every now and then a few modern slang words. My biggest problem with the story, however, are the two incredibly unlikable lead characters that make it an impossible to invest emotions in this book. I asked myself all the time, who is worse of the two, but actually they share very similar characteristics: they are both incredibly pretentious, narcissistic, arrogant and their behavior towards others - they perceive all inferior intellectually - is often prohibitive. Sometimes I even had almost feel sorry for Van Houten, although he was supposed to be the Böswicht! Not to mention the poor parents, members of the support group visits the Anne Frank Museum, etc. There is a difference between quick-witted and malicious. Therefore, no, the fate of the two is not gone near me. I had heard rather more of Isaac - that would probably have been a more exciting and gentler berührendere history as the two main players together. Gus and his pretentious speeches and the measly cigarette I'm going to miss a single second!
