I love John Green, but I feel like the only 13 year old who does! Is there anyone else out there? I read The Fault in Our Stars and I decided right then and there that I would stalk him this summer and yell at him for what happened to Augustus. Nevertheless, he is awesome and I would love to meet him one day.
First review, this might be bad x)
All of John Green's books are great, in my opinion. I've always found him to be one of the more constant authors out there, and one of my favorites. But I've also seen constant patterns in his books. Examples: a broken-down car and a "psychopathic" type of driver. An extremely hot, sexy girl (or boy, in the case of TFiOS). Sometimes it gets a bit tiring to read the same type of book over and over again, but with John Green, even though his books have many simila...more

I’m just going to talk about these all at once (Will Grayson, Will Grayson. Paper Towns. The Fault in Our Stars. An Abundance of Katherines.), since I read them all in the span of about a week….
Let me set the scene. I read “Looking for Alaska” a while ago, and after I read and dug it, I bought the rest of his books for my kindle almost immediately. Of these four, I started with TFiOS. I thought to myself, “It’s about 8pm on a Saturday night, Hubby is hunkered down playing videogames, I might as...more

I bought this because of Katherines and Paper Towns (+the box which I thought to be a cushioned container instead of a cardboard)
So now I have multiple hardcovers of TFiOS and Alaska, but the cover in each book was different. The Boxed-TFiOS has a "NYTimes Bestseller" mark which I hate because it's already a book to recommend to friends (OR NOT!) so why put that infront, could have been at the back. Then the Boxed-Alaska cover doesn't have a candle, just a smoke; and John Green's name was bigger...more

I will admire john greens work for involving quite a few good references and the research he used for his novels but, that's about it. Maybe, I missed the bandwagon years ago and out grew his writing style before ever being introduced to it or maybe it's because I haven't seen any of his vlogs and nor do I wish to. It's safe to say i just don't appreciate him like my other peers did. Other than that, if i had a 12-16 year old child/student who had yet to discover the joys of reading and wouldn't...more
One of the best authors for young adults out there today, in my humble opinion. Every time I recommend one of his books to my high school readers, they come back amazed and ready for more of his stories. I have read all of the titles in this boxed set. The Fault in Our Stars is my current favorite. It is a story adults would also enjoy!

I'm in love with John Green's books. It's not about the stories, it's about what we learn from them. He has all the answers of all the questions that we ask ourselves but can't put into words. Every time I finish one of his books, i spend the entire day thinking about his quotes He's a genius
"The Fault in Our Stars" -- Although this book was sad/melancholy (how could a book about teens with cancer not be), it was also a book about life and love (love between parents & child, between friends, new love, and "star-crossed" love). The characters were engaging.
I don't think I have ever loved one particular author so much! John Green is a fantastic author, his writing is amazing! I have read all of these books more than once and the emotions experienced are the same every single time
FIVE STARS!
FIVE STARS!
Finished "Paper Towns" on two long wintery night reads. Given the genre, 4 stars is the appropriate rating. Enjoyed the levels of interpretation that the title could be taken to. Never really liked Walt Whitman but did gain another understanding of him and the perpetual journey. Clever fooling around with capital letters as a symbol for the many sides of Margo. Liked the mirror-window imagery. Have decided to try another by this author. Onward!
I've only read The Fault in Our Stars" and loved it. The characters feel genuine and the story deals with the tragedy of cancer in an honest but not pitying way, I was really touched by this book.
Great story filled with Metaphors. Everyone should read this tear filled story. MAkes you remember what is important in life and to not take anything for granted!
My favourite of these was Paper Towns, though I also really enjoyed both Looking for Alaska, and A Fault in our Stars. I did not enjoy An Abundance of Katherines, though I must admit, some of it stuck in my head, and changed me, so there was some good in it.
The Fault in our Stars is a book that stays with you after you finish it....
all the books are amazing and they are all beautifully written
Just read the Fault of Our stars.good book. Incredibly sad.

I CAN'T BELIEVE I'VE GOT THIS!!! It's a dream come true <3

One of my favourite things I have ever bought.

I ordered this beautiful (but unsigned) boxed set from a TBD sale awhile back. It finally arrived today (Nov 21st) and having not read any of the John Green books before I'm quite excited to start this!
My thoughts on each book is pretty much the same as it was when I first read them except that I like An Abundance of Katherines more than I did the first time I read it. I just feel so honored to be able to own this box set and read all of the books one after the other.
BRILLIANT IDEA
LOL I'm cheating.
It was amazing, it did not want it to end.
