• John Green: “WOW And if I had to pick a favorite Young Adult novel I’ve read this year It would probably be All My Rage by Sabaa Tahir I’ve recommended her books in the past but this is her first stand alone books and her first contemporary novel And oh my God, it’s beautiful Also, as evidenced by the fact that I just wrote one. I think essay collections make a great gift Like, I love The Source of Self-Regard and Hilary Mantel’s Mantel Pieces The title is by far the worst thing about the book.”
