The plot twists in the beginning were fantastic and compelling. However, they set up a momentum that the book couldn't keep up with, so it became least captivating and more predictable towards the end.

An absolutely extraordinary read. Being a long time fan of the movie, this has been a must read for me for ages. It is so rich and so powerful. If you are a fan of the movie it is an absolute must!

Absolutely fantastic. Best Batman story arc I've read in years! A masterpiece rollercoaster from start to finish

Interesting enough premise, but it didn't get nearly enough into the bigger ramifications of the setup for my tastes. It also made the grave mistake by ending on an unfulfilled teaser for a story that would have been immensely more interesting than the one Wright decided to tell.

For being a bit of a throwaway pickup, I ended up enjoying this immensely. It was much more action-packed than I expected and I really respected and appreciated that it didn't shy away from the more realistic topics and reactions of its era.

This is the second time I've read this book and it still remains my favourite of John Green's novels. I can relate to every character and their dynamic so well. Each character has flaws and it helps make them more real.

Ugh such a beautiful novel. I somewhat wish i had read this as a child because i can imagine it would have had such an incredible effect on me.

Very interesting material, but a lot of the expert witness guests felt like time fillers rather then enjoyable and interesting content.

Fantastic world-building and a great fairy tale retelling. I was really really enjoying it, until it became painfully obvious that i'd predicted the ending very early on.
