Anything poorly-written.

The thing Alaska did next scared and shocked and surprised me in a way nothing had ever ever scared or shocked or surprised me until that moment, a moment which lasted no longer than one sharp intake of breath but one I have no doubt will last my entire life. She said 'I love you'. Not 'You're cool' or 'I had a really fun time' or 'Do you always kiss like that?' I love you. As in 'I, Alaska Young, love you, Miles Halter'. As in 'I Alaska Young have not only noticed that you Miles Halter exist but I positively adore the fact that you do'. I exhaled. Alaska did too and for the first time I realized she was as scared as I was of admitting the way she felt. I stepped forward and held her hips. 'Are you sure?' I asked. 'I think so!' she replied, smiling. I must have pushed her backwards because just then her body nudged the lightswitch and the room became as dark as my life was without Alaska in it. Laughing, she slipped out of my grasp and disappeared somewhere inside the room. I reached out like a blind man searching for the object that might grant him sight. Truly, I was Looking for Alaska.

I liked Looking for Alaska better, similar dramatic formula though. My question is whether or not I should read Paper Towns.

Are a lot of John Green's books formulaic? I only read Looking for Alaska and TFiOS. Nearly the same story with different plot devices.

An English teacher of mine recommended Looking for Alaska, which I thought was pretty great. Later I picked up TFiOS, and I haven't read much YA from that point forward. It seemed rehashed from Looking for Alaska and it felt kinda dumbed down. I didn't hate it though.

Same teacher started bringing me up into some more /lit/ tier books, and I got into better reading habits and started doing a bit of creative writing myself. TFiOS is kinda shitty in hindsight, but YA helped get me where I am.

Vlogbrothers on the other hand, is utter garbage.
