This book is good in so many way, but one thing I find hictarical is that John Green has inclued some Swedish rapers and mentions Swedish songs from farely famous Swedish bands in Sweden. I know of them of course but I don't know how John Green came across them(maybe I should ask him on twitter). I have bookmarked the pages where this is mentioned, but I will not quote it here because it's just greater when you know the bands and the songs.
Instead I will share this:
"Is it now?" He smiled. Gus loaded this giveaway site called Free No Catch and together we wrote an ad.
"Headline?" he asked.
"'Swing Set Needs New Home,'" I said.
"'Desperately Lonely Swing Set Needs Loving Home,'" he said.
"' Lonely, Vaguely Pedophilic Swing Set Seeks the Butts of Children,'" I said.
He laughed. "That's why."
"What?"
"That's why I like you. Do you realize how rare it is to come across a hot girl who creates an adjectival version of the word pedophile? You are so busy being you that you have no idea how utterly unprecedented you are."
