It's been on my reading list for years. Now my friend Linn died of cancer in July and I thought I finally have to pick it up. Also John Green wrote this, the brother of Hank Green who also has cancer right now. They are the science geeks who educate the internet, and I only recently realized.

The book is kinda short, and it could have been longer. But for young adults as an audience, just right. The story definitely helped me process my own emotions towards dealing with death and disease. Of course, it is just a single cancer story, and so many extra factors are missing. But at least there is this story. At least there is a person who has written about so many thoughts and feelings going through everyone's mind when facing death. I liked it.

I am definitely emotionally invested and biased right now. Don't know what else to write. The book didn't change my world, but still.

People should read a book about death at least once in their lives. And I think this is a good one.
