《我和厄尔以及将死的女孩》

    Greg Gaines, 17, has somehow accomplished the seemingly impossible — made it to his senior year of high school maintaining a “friendly” acquaintanceship* with every group in his school without truly belonging to any of them.

    Greg and his only real friend, Earl, make their own movies but don’t share them with anyone else ... until Rachel happens. Greg and Rachel were friends when they were younger but haven’t spoken in years. After Rachel is diagnosed with leukemia*, Greg’s mother insists he hang out* with her. And somewhere along the way Greg and Earl are roped into making a film for dying Rachel, and Greg’s comfortable invisibility disappears forever.

    Moving and poignant* in unexpected ways, the book is funny, honest and at times almost hard to take, but in the best way possible. This isn’t a traditional sappy* young adult “cancer” book full of true love or life affirming moments ... so if that’s the kind of story you’re looking for then this book probably isn’t for you.

    The writing style in this book is to the point, unique and quite addicting*. Author Jesse Andrews offers readers a coming-of-age story that is heartbreaking and intense*, but also easy and okay to laugh with and even at. With a pitch perfect voice, tone and dialogue, this book feels and sounds authentic*.

    Greg Gaines is not always an easy character to like, but he is always easy to relate to.

    The book is available at online stores such as dangdang.com and jd.com.(SD-Agencies)
