I don’t actually think John Green is that great of an author.
ok, I enjoyed “Looking for Alaska”, in fact I read it in two days and was really quite gripped by it, but I think that’s because Green is good at teen fiction- full of cheese, and for most teens, an exciting idealistic love story, it’s…
Even with those similarities, I felt like the books had very different tones. Plus, there’s the bigger issue of dealing with death/loss in Looking For Alaska, and it occurs over a much more defined period of time. There’s always An Abundance of Katherine’s, while still involving a nerdy boy and his best friend, doesn’t deal with a missing girl. Then there’s Will Grayson, Will Grayson, which is very different—two boys with the same name, written by two authors. Personally, I’m very excited for The Fault In Our Stars. If anything, I’d recommend going for that one when it comes out. The main character is a girl, so, you know, it starts off different right there…

HOWEVER, I do happen to think he’s a fairly awesome human being, and I’ve preordered his new book. Maybe it will have a slightly different storyline. Maybe?
