John Green

I haven't posted anything in a really long time. The summer just flew by. School starts on Wednesday, which means all the things like buying school supplies and summer homework that I procrastinated have to be finished in just a couple days.

I've been planning to post this for a very long time but I haven't gotten around to it. I recently read two books by John Green: The Fault in Our Stars and Looking For Alaska.

I got halfway through Looking For Alaska when I impulsively bought The Fault in Our Stars at Target. I read it, then finished reading Looking For Alaska.

Considering all of the good reviews for TFIOS, I had high hopes for the book, and pretty much thought that everything written by John Green was magic or something.

I was severely disappointed.

I'll go into more detail on the specific things I didn't like in the next few days.

Personally, I feel almost bad for not liking these books, because I think John Green seems like a nice guy. I think I could be his friend if I ever met him. I just don't think he writes exceptional books. They're really not bad, but I just don't see how everyone who reads his books love them so much.

It just made me kind of mad. I had been waiting to read TFIOS for soooo long, and it wasn't even that good! It was ten whole dollars at Target! Ten whole dollars wasted! Not acceptable!
