I don't like John Green’s writing. I guess The Fault In Our Stars is the only book I have ever enjoyed by him.

I don't know how this happened but this is one of the funniest books I've read in a while. John Green has this uncanny knack for writing about teenage/adolescent life and all the complexities that come with it. Also, it's a pretty good deconstruction of the Manic Pixie Dream Girl, although it does take some reflection on the part of the reader to recognize that.
