The Best Thing about the Book- Me and Earl and the Dying Girl

I am reading Me and Earl and the Dying Girl by Jesse Andrews. The best thing about this book so far is the voice the author gave to the main character, Greg. Through his voice, you can completely understand his character. He is sarcastic and very random, which makes him very funny. This also makes the book very interesting to read. Also, many high school students can relate to him because they either act like him or know someone who does.

On page 140, it says, "I had this badger imagine in my head for some reason! That badger was awesome!" Here it shows the kind of things that go through Greg's mind. This is very random, and it makes the reader laugh when things like this come out of the blue. Also, on page 119 Greg says, "And that statement immediately became piece #16087 of the Mom v. The Truth." His voice and the exaggeration shows annoyance, which is a common characteristic of him.

Greg's voice helps make the book relatable and fun to read. He is sarcastic, funny, and random, and he makes this book is very unique.
