THE BOOK THAT INSPIRED THE HIT FILM! Up until senior year, Greg has maintained total social invisibility. He only has one friend, Earl, and together they spend their time when not playing video games and avoiding Earl s terrifying brothers making movies, their own versions of Coppola and Herzog cult classics. Greg would be the first one to tell you his movies are f*@$ing terrible, but he and Earl don t make them for other people. Until Rachel. Rachel has leukemia, and Greg s mom gets the genius idea that Greg should befriend her. Against his better judgment and despite his extreme awkwardness, he does. When Rachel decides to stop treatment, Greg and Earl must abandon invisibility and make a stand. It s a hilarious, outrageous, and truthful look at death and high school by a prodigiously talented debut author. This audiobook is read by the stars of the movie adaptation, Thomas Mann and RJ Cyler, as well as Keith Szarabajka, Hillary Huber, Kirby Heyborne, Abigail Revasch, and Adenrele Ojo. "

Review:

This was probably the funniest book I've ever read... Everyone should read this book. * Guardian * Funny, warm, enjoyably scatterbrained... An honest depiction of society's reaction to illness and death. * The Observer * This surprising gem is at once moving and hilarious... Greg and his misadventures will have you laughing out loud. * Book Trust * Dead funny... Shows just how much fun reading and writing can be. * The Australian * Hilarious, irreverent, sometimes rude and ultimately very touching. It's a great read and is highly recommended. * Canberra Times *
