I got this book in a fair and I must say: I was amazed. This book can make into various themes and situations without losing momentum (most of the times). The book has a clear message to me by the end of it, but the various plotlines are not dived into or developed enough. Social commentary isn't as present in it as I initially thought it was going to be, but it's pretty great to see a story so conscious (or at least tried to be) about my country's social and economical situation.
At the end of the day, this book is a tragicomedy full of absurdities and unsolved problems that sadly are set in stone to never be solved in the near future, just like Brazil.
Yeah, it's a John Green book. From what I heard, every book from him is very formulaic. And that's a big bummer. The story here is very interesting. It's not great or innovative, but entertaining. 4/5 would read again (I mean, another John Green book).
Carey has a very cinematographic writing here. No surprise that the book already has a movie. I'm not very into zombie stories, but the central idea that the author brought to the table in this book is very interesting and I was hooked up. Good narrative, good characters, good book.
