Review:

This was great!

This is kind of a hard book to summarise and talk about, because it touches on so many different things; everything from movies, to the internet, sunsets, plague and the biggest ball of pain in the world. It's thoughtful and full of heart, and seemingly random things turn quite emotional and feel monumental when Green writes about them.

Every single essay in here feels insightful and honest, and I can't think of a single on of them that I didn't like, even if I didn't love them all. The writing is strong and gives me the sense that this author could write about anything and it would be good. I also love the humor in here, and how it simultaneously makes you both laugh and think. 

It's a book filled with hope and wonder, and makes you ponder what it is to be human these days, and it was an enjoyable, entertaining and emotional reading experience which I very much appreciated.
