This week I’m kind of eh about the book I’m reading. Don’t you hate that? I’m not going to give up on it because it comes from the most brilliant mind of John Green (and David Levithan). Yes, thee John Green. The incredible wordsmith of one of literature’s greatest book quotes ever…and probably only second to Nabokov in my book…but ya, it’s that guy. I’ve read all of Green’s other novels but for some reason hadn’t read this one, and a friend pointed it out to me the other day. Well, gosh darn, Will Grayson, Will Grayson // John Green was next on the list. The story follows two teen boys who paths unexpectedly cross and (probably) will change each other’s lives forever. Oh geez, I can’t believe those words just came out of my mouth…it sounds beyond cheesy. But you know what? This is YA, so it probably will be that cheesy. And I’ll love every minute of it.

 

Last week: The Leopard // Jo Nesbo (4 out of 5 stars)

I would have given this 4.5 stars if I could…oh, what the hell, I DO give it 4.5 stars. Probably my favorite Harry Hole novel yet. So sick and twisted I really didn’t see the end coming. The visuals were pretty amazing. I so wish some big Hollywood director would take on the challenge of making these into movies…if they even could. Although I always argue for starting at the beginning of a series, you could probably pick this one up first if you wanted to give him a whirl. You won’t be disappointed.
