maybe it's 2,5 but I really can't round it up to 3...

The book just dragged and dragged for ages, each chapter, each scene seemed just too long, as if we already got all the information, the feel of it, but the author just kept us in place, reading it felt like I was held by the hand, almost tagged back, and someone kept telling me "...no, but listen..."
The story bored me, I really just wanted to wake up from this bad dream; can't give more stars even for the (sometimes) funny characters. I liked the first few chapters of the book, before we learn about Cameron's disease.

If I could give this novel 6 stars, I would. Even before the novel started, Libba Bray's acknowledgements made me want to give it 5 stars already. She is just a master of words. This book was hilarious and philosophical and heart breaking and everything you could think of. The story was mighty original, too. I feel like everyone could relate to Cameron, the main character (except for maybe having a fatal illness). I liked the ending especially; it is not what you would've expected. All of the characters in this book were amazing and unique and wonderful to read. This novel is a MUST READ!! One of the best.
