Enjoyed this book as much as J.D. Salinger's 'Catcher in the Rye'. Greens writing and narrator style is very similar to Salinger's. It's funny, as I look at John Greens goodreads page right now he actually has J.D. Salinger as his #1 influence.
I enjoyed some discussions on life's philosophies, like the labrynth.
My fav quote is: “Jesus, I'm not going to be one of those people who sits around talking about what they’re gonna do. I’m just going to do it. Imagining the future is a kind of nostalgia. ... You spend your whole life stuck in the labyrinth, thinking about how you’ll escape it one day, and how awesome it will be, and imagining that future keeps you going, but you never do it. You just use the future to escape the present.”
It's a balance between being a visionary and being a realist, don't just have ideas, put them to action and that to me is escaping the labyrinth.
