Bøker av John Green

Usedvanlig vakker ungdomsroman fra mesteren selv. Her i billigbokutgave. Aza Holmes prøver virkelig. Hele tiden. Hun prøver å være en god venn, en god datter, en god student - og kanskje også en god detektiv. Men det er ikke lett når hun på samme tid har hodet fullt av tankespiraler som vanskeliggjør hverdagen og sosial omgang med andre mennesker. John Green har blitt verdenskjent for sine skildringer av ungdom som skiller seg ut, og i Skilpadder hele veien ned møter vi kanskje Greens sterkeste karakterskildring til nå. Med stor innlevelse skildres en ung kvinne med OCD og hennes kamp for å finne veien sin i en såkalt normal tilværelse. Bli med i en fortelling om livslangt vennskap, Star Wars fan-fiction, en forsvunnen millionær og den første store kjærlighet, som ikke blir lettere når man samtidig har psykiske utfordringer å håndtere. "Rørende, troverdig, sårt og likevel morsomt om en tenårings kamp mot sine egne tanker." - Bok365, Randi Fuglehaug " ...en usedvanlig rik og klok historie om livet, døden og evigheten, intet mindre." - Dagbladet, Marie Kleve "Rett i hjertet ... Jeg har sjelden lest noen som så innforstått har fortalt hvordan det føles når tvangstankene kommer." - NRK, Anne Cathrine Straume «Tvingende god. (...) en roman som lykkes i å normalisere og ufarliggjøre psykisk sykdom, samtidig som den er spennende og velskrevet.» - Dagsavisen, Gerd Elin Sandve "Imponerende velbalansert" - barnebokkritikk.no, Marius Emanuelsen John Green er en av verdens mest anerkjente ungdomsbokforfattere.

Fjorårets amerikanske ungdomsboksensasjon - beskrevet som "nesten genial" av Time Magazine, og kåret til "#1 Fiction book of the year 2012" av TIME Magazine! Hazel er 16 år, og kommer aldri til å bli frisk igjen. Det har hun visst siden den dagen hun fikk kreftdiagnosen. I tre år har legene behandlet henne. I tre år har hun levd med dødsdommen. Hazel og Augustus møtes i en støttegruppe for kreftsyk ungdom. Begge har vært syke lenge, men nekter å være den tapre kreftpasienten som heroisk kjemper mot sykdommen med umenneskelige krefter og som aldri klager eller slutter å smile. Nei. De vet begge at de har hatt maks uflaks og at sjansen er stor for at de dør unge. Kreft er noe dritt. Men de liker hverandre. Etter hvert mer og mer. Og langsomt og forsiktig nærmer de seg -- så forsiktig som det kan bli når én har et kunstig bein og den andre går rundt med en oksygentank på slep og en slange inn i nesa. Og kjærlighetshistorien deres skal bli en sånn som poetene skriver dikt om. E p i s k. Dette er en roman om liv og død. Om hvor morsomt, spennende og tragisk livet er. "Kreftbøker suger", sier hovedpersonen Hazel i romanen. Det gjør ikke denne. Derimot får den deg til å tenke over de store spørsmålene i livet, til å le høyt, og til å gråte innsjøer. Det er ikke en bok om kreft og død. Det er en himmelstormende vakker og gripende historie om Hazel Grace og Gus. Om å være ung og likevel stå med den ene foten i graven. Om å tro at man aldri kommer til å bli overrasket igjen. Og om å få sitt siste ønske oppfylt. Å bli berørt på så mange måter le og gråte om hverandre mens man stadig forstår litt mer - det er litteratur når den er som aller, aller best. .
