At first the grammar and choppiness kind of put me off too, but once I got into the meat of the story I kind of forgot about it.
Same here. But I kept in mind that it was from 2002. Even though it was choppy, it put really clear images into my head and every once in a while there would be a line I found particularly evocative that would make me teary. Even though it was a tad cheesy, when Ponyboy goes "I'm not gonna grow up" or something similar, I was like "ohnuuuu Ponyyyyy."
The parts I liked best were actually the Steve parts. I try not to read too many things about illness because I find depressing (duh), but I liked that he was anger-based because I feel like anger and blame are seldom covered by writers for this kind of thing.

Mind you, I don't do well with tearjerkers anyways since I can be pretty emotional. I can't watch people cry because it makes me teary too, both in real life and movies. I'm also paranoid that I'm going to get cancer because I know it runs in my family on both sides :'(

The green faerie blinked. "What in the world are condoms?"
"Defenders of virginity. The lead one is called 'Trojan Man'."
"Wow. Like knights or something?" Wisp asked, innocently.
". . . . yes. Knights," Saba muttered, not quite sure how to explain it all to him.
"How the heck am I supposed to hand out knights?"
"Miniature knights. Made of rubber."
". . . I don't quite follow you."
"Wisp? Why don't you go and find ToonQueen before something else does?"
"Should I bring condoms with me?"
"JUST GO!!!"
