Talked to a woman today who did not like John Green. "He doesn't write realistic teenagers," she complained.

"They’re too smart and witty."

Um, who in God’s name would want to read about realistic teenagers?—

Gus looked at his cell phone from the time he woke up until the time he went to bed. The end.

Seriously, imagine reading a whole book peopled with realistic teenagers!

"Simplistic and patronizing platitude about how special you are." —John Green (fave quote)
