I really hoped this adaptation wouldn't fall flat like Paper Towns (which was sad because it is my favorite of all John Green books).
Well, it didn't.
Most of what is important in the book is in this movie. I saw someone say it was disproportionately focused on the Picketts, but I totally don't agree.
The movie played out exactly as it should and better. I especially liked how it didn't give a happy, wrapped-up ending to a mental problem that probably sticks with you for life. It was every bit as relatable (to those who relate), sad, happy, and worth it as the book.
I see how those who have never read the book or don't really know John Green as someone other than Hank Green's brother or the guy from Crash Course might see this as falling flat. But for those who read it, this movie is a win for us.
