Publisher's Summary

The book that inspired the hit film!

Up until senior year, Greg has maintained total social invisibility. He has only 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.

Funny book rendered unfunny by poor reading

This story is compelling and well-written. However, I had to download it to read on my Kindle account because I couldn’t stand Thomas Mann’s delivery. It is a story filled with humour. It is at times laugh-out-loud. Thomas Mann does an excellent job delivering the performance of an angst-ridden teen. He does a very good job speaking as the character. However, even within the first three chapters Mr. Mann failed to capture the humour time and time and time again. His deadpan delivery sucked the life out of the story. If he had taken the care to pause at the right time or used more nuance and variety in his delivery he would have made it listenable. I am so glad I used a credit to acquire this listen. I would be asking for my money back otherwise. Wish I could get my credit back. Don’t want to sound so negative, there is so much of it on the internet these days. But also don’t want anyone to feel as disappointed as I was.
