John Green has truly enlightened my world. I'm sad to say, but I've read all of his, and I want more!
Will Grayson, Will Grayson was amazingly written. Green and Levithan have truly put their heart and soul into writing this book, you could tell. Their points of view are top-notch, and fans will go gaga for more.
The Will Grayson I truly actually liked more was David Levithan's Will. I liked his story and the suicidal part gave me something to think about. He couldn't find himself, which was perfectly fine, and when he did, sadly, the story came to a close. He knew what and who he wanted in his life, and spoke about it.
So, may I say, every single one of you, yes you, get up, get into the car, and drive to your local bookstore. Go into the teen section, and find the letter "G" and when you do, look for the book Will Grayson, Will Grayson. Go pick it up, and buy it. This one's a keeper.
Today is the day I've been waiting for, forever! G is for... JOHN GREEN! Mr. Green has written 5 amazing novels, that has made the public WILD. From An Abundance of Katherines, to The Fault In Our Stars, to Looking For Alaska, to Paper Towns, to Will Grayson, Will Grayson, his books and words are an inspiration to others, including myself, because of his books' morals and mottos.
According to alphabetical order, An Abundance of Katherines comes first. I have made a review for this one, An Abundance of Katherines but, I'll give you a little background info. An Abundance of Katherines was published on September 1, 2006, by Dutton Juvenile. The book starts off with Colin, who just became dumped by his girlfriend, Katherine. He's always had a special place for girls named Katherine, and that was his nineteenth one. His best friend, Hassan, is sick of his complaining and whining, so he decides to take Colin on a road trip to make him feel better. They end up in a rural town, Gunshot, in Tennessee. Colin decides that he's going to prove his theroem of underlying Katherine probability, which he hopes will predict any relationship ending. Love, friendship, and graves will put you to laughter and feel what Colin feels in this amazing story.
I'm obsessed with John Green novels, but as far, this one was the worst one, but with still a great rating, I must say. I give it a 4/5 star rating! Everyone, that's not a bad rating, let me repeat, not a bad rating. It made me laugh, and try to figure out all of those math equations!
Next comes The Fault In Our Stars, which I gave a review for on Saturday. I'm not going to say nothing about it, other than I loved it, because you could always go to my post! F is for The Fault In Our Stars
Looking For Alaska is another favourite, which I have to write an essay on, about the comparison of The Outsiders to this one, which I think is a perfect match, because there's drug use (alcohol, smoking) and have similar storylines, in a way. It was released on December 28, 2005, and was his first young adult novel. I loved it, because of the romance, thrill and that you feel everything the characters feel in the story. Psstt! Here's a link to my full review on this blog, Looking For Alaska
Paper Towns. Yay! All of these books are some of my favourites, okay? It was released on October 16, 2008 by Dutton Juvenile with that quirky cover of Margo, smiling. Isn't there another cover with her crying? I have the one with the red pin, though. LOVED, LOVED, LOVED IT x10000... etc. Here's my review -----> Paper Towns
Last, but not least, Will Grayson, Will Grayson. This one, I just got on Friday, actually, and I'm currently reading it! John also wrote it with David Levithan, another famous author. I can't wait to read it, after If I Stay. It was published on April 6, 2010 by Dutton Children. It's supposed to, from what I heard, be about two boys, with the same name, (obviously Will Grayson). One of them tries not to be noticed, and the other, goes through his life without anything good to hold onto besides an online friendship with someone who goes by the name Isaac. It sounds very interesting, doesn't it?
*All of these books sound great, and they are "AMAZING." So, why don't you give them a try?*

Good morning everyone! Today's the moment you've all been waiting for, F Day is one of my favourites, because I get to blog to you about, The Fault In Our Stars, by John Green, one of my favourite books of all-time!
The Fault In Our Stars was first published on January 1, 2012 by Dutton Books. It has been a #1 NY Times bestseller, and has won many awards for its perfection and truthfulness.
The Fault In Our Stars starts off with 13-year old Hazel, who is diagnosed with Stage IV thyroid cancer, who'd never think that she'd survive, but three years later, is living with a miracle, for now. Hazel now lives with an oxygen tank that helps her breathe, and is homeschooled. When her mom forces her to go to a cancer support group, Hazel thinks that she'd have the worst time, speaking about the thing that bothers her the most. Then, she meets Augustus Waters. Gorgeous, and shockingly attached to Hazel, Augustus is taken to an unexpected journey with Hazel, that will put their love to a test, and find the truth between life and death.
Wow. This book was amazing. I understand why the public has gone WILD for this book! It's unique, and it's not like any other cancer book I've read. Readers will go crazy for Hazel's word from start to finish. It's electric, just as Jodi Picoult said, funny, and a very powerful story for any teen or adult, lerking for a book that will make them stuck to from start to finish, and never wanting it to end...
*This is one of the best books I've ever read, you gotta trust me on this one.*

An Abundance Of Katherines was an piece of excellence, from the heart. Okay, enough of my REAL English talk. In other words, An Abundance Of Katherines was absorbingly great. Yes, because I absorbed the book, I read it quickly. Anyways, John Green is perfection. Whatever he writes, fits for me. His books are made for me, because it helps me overcome the labyrinth of things. (Looking For Alaska) Also, his words help us find The Fault In Our Stars. The appendix at the back, helped me figure out what Colin was talking about, half of the time, and I enjoyed this book every bit. Lindsay, Colin, Katrina, Hassan, Hollis, and TOC were all sarcastically funny, fun characters for readers to remember time after time.

First of all, may I say that John Green is my favourite author? Every book he writes has a meaning to it. I love his books, they always make my day better with his truthful, influential words for readers to remember and share.
Looking For Alaska was.. I'm speechless here. It was stunningly, fantastically, PERFECT! I can go on and on about how much I love it, but I won't. The plot, characters and meaning were astonishing. From Miles' point of view, everything seemed to have its ups and downs, but he was smart enough to fight them and look beyond the clouds.
Alaska. Alaska Young was a perfect female heroine. She's funny, clever, and different. You can see her bright side of things, and with her bad girl style, makes readers feel even more connected to her. I couldn't believe it when what happened to her happened, and her story is a mystery for readers to overcome.
Miles/Pudge. Miles was different, in a great way. I loved him, with his awkwardness, that shone to impress readers with his love for Alaska, and for his passion for finding the labyrinth of life. He got his girl, in a way, and didn't need help to find what he wants in reality.
Overall, Looking For Alaska changed my life, just as The Fault In Our Stars did. I learnt that you need to find out what life has in store for you, and we have to enjoy things while they last.
Thank you, John Green, for writing this book. You are my inspiration.
