I didn't enjoy the writing style (might have been the translator as well): there was a lot of repetition and some very weird descriptions ("my overpowered hippocampus made me think of..." Or something like that :D) 
Also the book was very slow and the plot also kind of repeated itself so it moved slowly, but the ending was very rushed and kind of didn't make sense.
The characters were kinda poorly written as well. 
This book did have some nice philosophical thoughts about time that gave it +0.5 stars.

Interesting plot, i really liked the main group boys characters. 
Some elements and events were hard to picture since the storytelling was so abstract at times. So not the clearest read.
Probably not going to read the rest of the books, but this was an okay read👍🏻

I think this book works as a base for the other books so it doesn't have that much going on. It explains some of the politics, history and worldbuilding.
Interesting to read if you like the world. At the end of the book the plot starts forming and it gets exciting.

I want to buy this book so I can reread it whenever i want. It was that good.
This book introduced a new simple idea of how stress system works and it was brilliant.
I recommend it especially to people who enjoy developmental psychology.
challenging informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

I'll put this into my personal collection. Good ideas that revolve around your thoughts and not only your actions. 
Also had good points about other self help books and how and why they don't work.

I can't relate with the main character at all! All the explanations for her actions got lost somewhere along the way and it just feels like she makes decisions that don't make sense🥲
The world building, plot or writing were average to me as well, so I didn't have any reason to continue reading.

Very enjoyable read. The story was entertaining and also insightful. I love the way the book is written.
There is love, drama, drugs and rich people, but also deep thinking.

I read this in a foreing language so i didn't get all the details but regardless it was good.
 I have seen the movie and that motivated me to read the books. The first book was pretty different than what I remeber of the movie, but in a good way.
The story has potential for sure and hopefully I'll read the rest of the books. 
Also I like the main character and his morals and way of thinking.
funny hopeful informative inspiring lighthearted relaxing fast-paced

Wonderful book, I listened to it in youtube, so I'm not sure if the whole book was included though xD
Good advice and good explanations. I also enjoyed the stories.
Everyone should read this or listen to it! Very important information in my opinion.
