Ótimo, boa qualidade e chegou rápido e bem embalado

John Green sigue sorprendiéndome, este libro está tan bien escrito que puedes sentir la ansiedad de la protagonista como si lo estuvieras viviendo tú.Esta versión en pasta dura es hermosa, tiene las pastas en color negro con las letras en dorado y viene con su cubierta de papel del color de la portada original.

good delivery etc. loved this writing more than john green's other books.

I have to admit that very little about the synopsis was compelling to me. The Best and Most Fearless Friend descriptor for Daisy sounded really juvenile and I wasn't really feeling the hi jinks that I thought were about to ensue with the billionaire fugitive. Still, I pre-ordered this because I love John Green. I felt nervous for him. He has been so fantastically candid about his own struggles with mental illness (OCD) and on "failing to follow up The Fault In Our Stars". I knew he'd put a lot into writing this. I suppose the same is true for all authors, but when I get to peek behind the curtain I find it can make me feel compassion toward the author's process that I might not otherwise feel.I am happy to report that I thought this book was fantastic. John Green is so incredibly skilled at capturing that feeling of young adulthood. That feeling where there are infinite possibilities ahead of you yet the present is all that you care about. Some criticize his characters and say that they're unrealistically deep for teenagers, but sometimes I feel like I was at my most thoughtful as a young adult. There is still so much to learn and so much to do as a teen and I remember worrying about the Infinite possibilities.John Green's writing is like prose. I gobbled the book up in two days, but immediately after finishing I wanted to page back through and re-read my favorite parts. It is an introspective book. There wasn't a ton of action and I guessed correctly on some of the major plot points, but that didn't matter. The power of this book is in the way he describes Aza and what it is like for her to be caught in the ever tightening thought spirals. Page 228 was one of the most terrifying things I've read; it truly gave me a bit of anxiety reading it. I am very curious about how individuals who suffer with mental illness are going to find this book. I wonder if it'll be triggering, or if it will make people feel understood. I suppose it'll be different for everybody. I also wonder if Green's own OCD was made better or worse by writing.Overall, this book is a hit. It's not likely going to be made into a movie a la The Fault In Our Stars, but in many ways I liked it better than TFIOS. Aside from Aza, most of the characters were flat, but I think that was a choice. Aza isn't yet at a place where she can get outside of her own head and see other people for who they are, and I found this choice to make the story all the more realistic.

Another hit by John Green. If you are a fan of John Green's writing style, you will surely enjoy this book. This book is particularly special as it tackles the topic of mental illness, in a way that is both realistic and thoughtful. The main character has OCD, and she is neither vilified nor made a hero because of it - which is something rather rare if you are familiar with how mental illness is typically treated in the media. John Green has been vocal about his own struggle with mental illness, and it is apparent that he has used his personal experience to write a book that portrays the topic in a respectful and realistic light. John Green's books are written for teenagers, but are enjoyable for adults, and as a 35 year old, I certainly enjoy them and this one is no different. DFTBA!
