FFortuna: "It is easy to forget how full the world is of people, full to bursting, and each of them imaginable and consistently misimagined." - John Green
My first John Green, and I totally understand his popularity with the teen audience. His character's voices are authentic, and the issues they are dealing with real without being overdone and trite. This book certainly kept me guessing until the end and I appreciated that it was a teen novel about travel that did not reference Kerouac, Whitman was a much better choice. ( )
Very strong book! I loved the premise and it was so cool. I really loved the main character and all the whole road trip adventure of this book. I love john green humor in this book and the story he told ( )

I hate Margo Roth Speigelman. I hate her so much and this book was a pointless journey of giving me more reasons to hate her. 3 stars because some of the writing was nice, and the parts *without* Margo were enjoyable! Take me back to AAoK or TATWD, I just don’t want to think about this stupid self centered character ever again. ( )

Here's what's not beautiful about it: from here, you can't see the rust or the cracked paint or whatever, but you can tell what the place really is. You see how fake it all is. It's not even hard enough to be made of plastic. It's a paper town. I mean look at it, Q: look at all those cul-de-sacs, thoses streets that turn in on themselves, all the houses that were built to fall apart. All those paper people living in their paper houses, burning the future to stay warm. All the paper kids drinking beer some bum bought for them at the paper convenience store. Everyone demented with the mania of owning things. All the things paper-thin and paper-frail. And all the people, too. I've lived here for eighteen years and I have never once in my life come across anyone who cares about anything that matters.
Margo was not a miracle. She was not a fine and precious thing. She was a girl.
I like finding stuff out about her. I mean, that I didn't know before. I had no idea who she really was. I honestly never thought of her as anything but my crazy beautiful friend who does all the crazy beautiful things.

Nothing ever happens like you imagine it will," she says. "Yeah, that's true," I say. But then after I think about it for a second, I add, "But then again, if you don't imagine, nothing ever happens at all.
Ben looks at me, his mouth on the edge of smiling, and the says, "I mean, that was a big damned cow. It wasn't even a cow so much as it was a land whale.
Peeing is like a good book in that it is very, very hard to stop once you start.
But imagining being someone else, or the world being something else, is the only way in. It is the machine that kills fascists.
Chuck Parson was a person. Like me. Margo Roth Spiegelman was a person, too. And I had never quite thought of her that way, not really; it was a failure of all my previous imaginings. All along - no only since she left, but for a decade before - I had been imagining her without listening, without knowing that she made as poor a window as I did.
The rules of capitalization are so unfair to words in the middle of the sentence.
There are so many people. It is easy to forget how full the world is of people, full to bursting, and each of them imaginable and consistently misimagined.
We were in the business of mutual amusement, and we were reasonably prosperous.
The only wounded man I can be is me.
I'm not saying that everything is survivable. Just that everything except the last thing is.
We don't suffer from a shortage of metaphors, is what I mean. But you have to be careful which metaphor you choose, because it matters.
And maybe by imagining these futures we can make them real, and maybe not, but either way we must imagine them.
