To be honest, I have read a lot of foreign novels in the past 20 years, including some "cancer books" or books about illness and death, like the book we read this semester titled “The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian.” But now I have to admit that this book, Me Earl and the Dying Girl, is the most sincere and entertaining of the “cancer books” I have read. In general, this type of book aims to leave readers with a message about life and death in order to humanize them in an affectionate and serious way. But I don't see many very touching bits about illness or death in this book; instead, it gives me a new kind of feelings, that is, the honest inner word of the teenager. The entire story develops around the making of a film. Greg Gaines was a senior at Benson High School in charming downtown Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He is a "spy" and can talk his way through different groups in his sock school. It belongs to all groups but it also does not belong to any group. He hangs out with all kinds of people at school, but he only has one true friend, Earl. Greg and Earl spend most of their time together. They like movies and make movies together, especially after seeing Greg's father's videos. But they don't go to anyone else, but to the girl named Rachel who has leukemia. Greg's mother becomes involved in Greg's upbringing more often and forces Greg to be Rachel's friend. Greg must obey his mother's idea even if he is not willing to do so. He calls her and goes to her house to visit her. Greg talks to Rachel, tries his best to get into Rachel's mind and cheer her up. At first, Rachel and Greg are awkward, but then they become more natural, even from a type of relationship that both... middle of the paper... what I want to report about the book is the education of young people. The school environment presented by the author shocked me: too many groups and "fights" between them, just as Greg said "how is it possible to exist in a place that hurts so much"! I also don't think it's good for young people for parents to be too involved in the world of teenagers. Just as Greg's mother forces him to do things Greg isn't willing to do, she even eavesdrops on Greg and Rachel outside the door. Also, there is a lot of dirty talk in this book, which I think is harmful to the growth of teenagers. That said, if you're looking for something refreshing and new in the "cancer book world", I suggest you read Me, Earl and the Dying Girl. You will surely appreciate the honesty and humor of the protagonist, the different side of emotions. I think it's worth reading.
