Thanks for the story Paul! I had been staying up nights wondering about what really happened! This is hilarious stuff! You have quite the imagination and love your humor!! Keep writing!

I've read it. I liked it. Didn't love it, but liked it. I've never felt Green's characters, other than the ones in Looking for Alaska, to feel authentically teen-aged. For the same reasons you've stated here, I loathed the movie Juno.

Would you believe there are no robots at all? But if there were robots, I am quite sure they would leak metaphorically resonant oil.

Would you believe I've never read John Green? Doesn't sound like there are enough robots or explosions for my tastes.

Very honest review. But I still want to read the book to see what the hype is all about. :)

...be careful, Murph, you'd be surprised to know how many of us read your blog ;)

Not sure if I'll add this one to my reading list, but am glad I read your thoughts on it. Guilty as charged on the overuse of symbolism. It's a sinister elf whispering lousy advice into my ear while...oh wait, I'm doing it again.

You get the idea,

I'm not smart enough to understand what this means in the greater context of life, but I can sense that it's surely profound.

How you been, Mr. Murphy?

2012-02-11T15:35:13.226-05:00

No, I've read the Potter series three times. I don't remember the Fight Club movie that well, but I'm pretty sure they're very similar.

Favorites, other than Potter and Snicket: A Game of Thrones, 11/22/63, The Gone-Away World,and Unbroken.

Thanks for the comments.

Which were your favorites?

Was this the first time you read the Harry Potter series?
Also, I guess I didn't know Fight Club was a book! (is it same story as movie?)

Someone should really be publishing your books. And I'm not just saying that because I'm your mother. Really.

Love the entertaining eBay ads! :D

Would you be willing to inbox the secret blog to a teacher in Florida who also has a secret blog where she rants about how the politics here are ruining education? The only slightly good idea they toss around here is teachers being able to grade parents on their participation in the child's education.

I feel like I was there with you.

Great ads. You've missed your calling.

And, you writing something political, opinionated, and controversial? I don't believe it for a minute. ;-)

Oh, and education. Oh, man. Needs to be improved in all states. Crazy. And needs more funding. Much more.
Good luck with your secret blog. I hope someone takes notice and makes needed changes.

Perhaps you have missed your calling, PMM. Perhaps, you should be in the field of sarcastic advertising. I actually think those ads are awesome. I'm still laughing.

For some reason, my comment posted twice, so I was compelled to delete one. Then I was compelled to explain it.

My list is so vague. I think I'll know what I want in an agent when I see it. :)

I hope an agent reads this, because some of your turn-offs are turn-offs for me as well.
