<p>The book that inspired the hit film!<p>Sundance U.S. Dramatic Audience Award<p>Sundance Grand Jury<p>This is the funniest book you'll ever read about death.<p>It is a universally acknowledged truth that high school sucks. But on the first day of his senior year, Greg Gaines thinks he's figured it out. The answer to the basic existential question: How is it possible to exist in a place that sucks so bad? His strategy: remain at the periphery at all times. Keep an insanely low profile. Make mediocre films with the one person who is even sort of his friend, Earl. <p>This plan works for exactly eight hours. Then Greg's mom forces him to become friends with a girl who has cancer. This brings about the destruction of Greg's entire life.</p></p></p></p></p></p>
