Guess what? IT IS NOT A DEPRESSING CANCER BOOK for the most part. Today I will be reviewing Me and Earl and the Dying Girl by Jesse Andrews. This was a quick read it is about 300 pages maybe I can't remember right now but goodreads has answers to that. I think. I am way too dependent on goodreads.
Basically this is the adventure through Greg Gaines senior year and through the story characters a introduced like Greg's best friend or as Greg refers to him as "a co-worker kind of friend". The dying girl in this book is Rachel Kushner I think it was I definitely know her name was Rachel. Greg and Earl has been making some real pathetic films according to them. Oh! One more thing you guys really need to know this book had some language so if you are under fourteen I suggest you do not read this no matter how good it sounds it is worth the wait I promise. When Greg's mom tells him about Rachel being diagnosed with a severe case of leukemia he goes and visits her at home. The only time he visits her in the hospital is when he ends up in the hospital himself with a broken arm. I won't say how I will leave that to you to read about that.
Earl does not have the best family environment considering I am pretty sure his mom is considered an alcoholic and his step brothers are pretty scary. One of them has a tattoo on his neck but I forgot what it says. I really loved this except the last like ten pages because it talks about Rachel and her leukemia stuff but it no where as depressing as The Fault in Our Stars I promise that much. I am going to give this book a four out of five stars for it's inappropriate humor at times but it was pretty funny. I got some strange looks when I laughed at the words while I was reading. Oh well not my problem! I say again this is a TV-14 rated book. I now leave you with book-related pictures fromt his book.
Can we please just acknowledged Jesse from Jessethreader on YouTube's face in this picture please
this is in the words of Greg Gaines
