Title: Yes, but...
Review: I'll skip the synopsis as well as the gushing over John Green's good writing and just say that in my opinion he IS 'over-glorifying' the constant use of cigarettes and booze by the young teenagers that are his characters. I know for a fact that there are many teens who get along just fine without smoking and drinking all the time - and some, hardly ever, or not at all. I don't think those habits added to the development of the characters, and certainly diminished their lives. As for the sex well, it IS a coming of age book. But again, to give the impression that this is 'average' young adult behavior and therefore acceptable - give me a break!
