“To see the world, things dangerous to come to, to see behind walls, to draw closer, to find each other and to feel. That is the purpose of life.”
– from The Secret Life of Walter Mitty
📖✨ Reading this book felt like watching a film (the adaptation itself was good but I missed Rachel’s real laugh, and I know we shouldn’t rant about the subtractions but 😢). Anyway, the writing style was unconventional (in a good sense) and the dialogues were hilarious. Coincidentally, I watched a Filipino film called “Write About Love” just recently and since it was narrated from a writer’s point of view, I kinda got that mental picture of the “Script” like writing style. ✌️ There are lots of great reviews about this novel, but I’m not sure if I’m in the same level of awe. I mean it was okay, and I was truly amused (the writer’s definitely smart too) but maybe I just didn’t relate to the main character very much. I think I loved everybody else a little more than Greg 😅 (the film kinda explained him tho so that's a save). ~•~ #jesseandrews #MeEarlAndTheDyingGirl #booksofinstagram #bookstagram #bookswormsuae #bookwormsph 📚🔖 https://www.instagram.com/p/CR7vsu4hs4g/?utm_medium=tumblr
Me, Earl and the Dying Girl - Jesse Andrews
The best ideas are always the simplest
Book number 16 for 2018 is both funny ha-ha and funny sad. On a rare occasion like now, I equally like the book and its movie version. . "I mean, you can know someone is dying on an intellectual level, but emotionally it hasn't really hit you, and then when it does, that's when you feel like shit." . #MeAndEarlAndTheDyingGirl #JesseAndrews #books #bookstagram #igreads #ireadbooksactually #nevernotreading https://www.instagram.com/p/BnvakRLBg1y/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1c9bxkl09ccpx

”Me Earl and the Dying Girl”
- Jesse Andrews, Me and Earl and the Dying Girl
I started reading this on a whim and closed the back cover 4 hours later. Thinking back, nothing really happened for the entire book (apart from the whole dying thing [not a spoiler, it’s in the title] which is incredibly underwhelming compared to most books where one of the main characters dies). Actually, even though she’s mentioned in the title and is basically the nucleus of the book, you don’t get attached or even understand Rachel past the basic concept of her. The book really isn’t about her at all, which is kind of weird but also refreshing in a cancer story.
The narration is perfect. Like I said, there’s practically no story, so the whole novel hinges on being entertained by the voice, which kind of gives it a creative non-fiction vibe while still also being very obviously not? It’s kind of hard to explain. There were a bunch of different writing styles which definitely gave the impression of a bored teenager but not in an annoying way, just enough to keep it interesting. It definitely made me have to cover my mouth to stop snorting with laughter and waking up my housemates though (I finished it at like 2am). The narration was also a lot more honest about illness and death than basically anything else I’ve read, kind of like A Monster Calls, except Patrick Ness made that into a point, whereas MaEatDG just kinda acknowledged that there was no moral to the story.
I thought I’d really like that because I like books that don’t have sugar-coated endings, but to be honest it just left me feeling kind of ripped off. Mind you, I would have also felt ripped off if the introduction said there was no moral to the story and then tried to sneak one in.
Anyway, it was a good book. A bit weird, a bit pointless, but entertaining.
