wtf are you doing. The only even slightly ok books Green wrote are "An Abundance of Katherines" and "Looking For Alaska". Don't read that trash

I'd say An abundance of Katherines is way better than the Alaska one. But I did read it as a teen, so I'd have to re-read it to see if its still as funny.

A mediocre-to-decent teen romance/tragedy with characters who speak in cringey one-liners. It's fine for what it is and is likely better than what else teens could be reading, but if you are expecting literature on par with the greats, you will be disappointed.

>> No.12537366

I read it when I was 15 and enjoyed it, I still remember some which I thought were good. But then again, I was and am a massive faggot.

He's pretty much a confirmed paedofile, or at least a hebe. Have you read the Jr. highschool teenage sex scene smut he writes? Truly a disgusting predator who flaunts his paraphilia to the world and his young audience, unscathed under so-called artistic license.

Perfect description desu. I can definitely see why young teens like it.

Best next to Katherines, which is more funny, Fault in our stars is more sad. Don't bother with Alaska or Paper Towns Unless you're 15 and have something decorated with a foggy PNW forest.

What the fuck are you guys doing here, when I was 15 I had already read War and Peace and no I'm not bragging I'm genuinely curious because I didn't think people who read John Green came to this place. Fucking zoomer invasion

I'm 22 and read Green in high school, it's pretty common.
