Dear John,
I love you.
I'd like it if you and I could meet and marry.
This book, and Mr Green's other books, leave you nearly breathless, and this is especially inspiring because they are for the teen-scene. He has nearly received five stars from me due to the fact that there is now what I would call the "John Green-esque" genre of young adult fiction. What characterizes this genre is: real, round characters...not just the beautiful people. An innovative, yet realistic, storyline. Tragic, but satisfying plots...better than a comedy according to Plato. And a sense of mystery that keeps you turning pages way past your bed time
Dear John,
I'm pretty cute, but I live I'm China.

I truly loved this book from the first page
Once again Green has written an amazing, funny book about friendship with unique, likable characters. Colin Singleton is a child prodigy from Chicago who's best friend, Hassan, takes him on a road trip to get over his recent break-up with yet another girl named Katherine (he's dated 19 girls with that name). Along the way the boys meet new friends, experience new things and make some profound realizations about themselves and their lives.
Definitely my least favorite of his books. Not bad but not terribly good either.
I finally got around to reading a John Green novel, and I enjoyed it very much - entertaining and heartfelt. Read my full review at:

2/5 stars but I didn’t exactly finish it...
That was so boring. So boring. I really like John Greens novels and Looking for Alaska is defiantly my favourite. But I do think sometimes every single one of John Greens male protagonists are the same. Some weedy overly intelligent brainy white guy that is annoying somehow becomes Brad Pitt to women. How? They have nothing going for them and I don’t mean that in a mean way but they don’t even have a personality apart from being intelligent. That’s it. How does he even get 19 Katherines in the first place? Money maybe this guy is rich? But that’s about it.
I really like John Greens writing style and I do find it charming and humorous. But who was this for exactly? Who was the target demographic? It was just overly wordy and the plot was boring with boring characters. Just some white guy and his friend going on a road trip while he cries about being dumped. Not for me sorry...
