Penguin Minis John Green Box Set John Green Books Reviews

• This review is not about the book titles (they are very well loved, and I enjoy reading them). This review is about the book formatting. The Mini-Books are PHENOMENAL.
  I read an article about the Swedish fad of mini-books, and how Penguin, (via Dutton), was giving this mini-book a try via a foursome of John Green books.
  Brilliant. These mini-books are more than just an adorable version. These are easy to hold, easy to read, and the formatting is really fantastic.
  The upward page flip is easy and intuitive, while still leaving the print font at a regular book size, the super thin pages are comfortable on the eye, and don't have word bleed through.
  These are easy to slip in a bag, or even a pocket. I am hoping, praying, that more books get this mini-versioned treatment. Or even new books. I would happily repurchase my well read favorites, or even pick up new ones, if they were printed in this very handy format. Love them!
• I'm neither here nor there on John Green's books to be honest, but I love love love the dwarsligger format and hope it catches on in English publishing! Small light books with bible-paper thin pages are as easy to carry around as an eReader. I particularly want them to catch on in airports... picking up a dwarsligger instead of a conventional paperback or hardbound book to read during a flight and maybe even just chuck in the recycling when I'm done feels way less wasteful than collecting big, heavy tomes I'm unlikely to reread and will just collect dust at home and weigh down move after move.
• These fit so well in my hands and are a real delight to read!
  
  I first heard about mini books (or dwarsliggers) from an article in the NYTimes and was fascinated with the idea. Since I already love John Green's books but didn't happen to own any of the 4 in this set I thought they'd be a good buy.
  
  Totally worth it. The book itself is easier to hold, especially if you have arthritis and/or smaller hands although getting used to the thinner pages took me a bit. Once I got the hang of that though, I found reading with these books a real pleasure.
• First, I just read the 1st book, Looking for Alaska. Excellent. Too my surprise though, I really liked the small book style. It is very easy to carry around and read on the go. I think I like this better than my .
• These are so cute! Only complaint is that some pages aren't evenly printed. Keep in mind the pages are thin (so it all fits in a tiny pocket sized novel) but if you're careful there should be no problems
• Purchased on a whim after reading about. A huge hit with all kids.
• This more about the size than content. I love these books for their size! I really hope they make more! They are perfect for me to throw in my purse and not weigh it down!
• I’m enamored with the convenient size. The pages are surprisingly thin so it takes a little effort not to skip anything by accident.
