Am I the only one who hates this book with burning passion? Showing 1,451-1,500 of 1,640

I think I would've liked Paper Towns a million times more if Quentin wasn't so weirdly obsessed with trying to save Margo.

My schoolmates loved that kissing scene and they keep on posting on Facebook how beautiful it was and how they can't wait to watch it on the big screen. Wtf? I mentioned this before, I'm surprised how the Dutch nerdfighter community had no problem with that scene whereas I , who is living thousands of kilometres away from Netherlands, was rolling my eyes in disgust.

Writing a new novel = milking the cash cow

[Amanda]

I didnt like it much either.

[Mochaspresso]

The directors of the anne frank house like it when the anne frank house gets publicity. Whenever a celebrity visits and signs the book, they post pics online and they were very forgiving of justin bieber when people were upset over what he wrote in the book. Amsterdam is not an uptight city. I'm not surprised at all considering how liberal the city is in general.

I think it shows how humble and gracious they are that they could. Says a lot more for them than it does for Bieber or Green.

[Emily]

That made me hate Justin Bieber even more than I already did. And if Green writes a new novel, I don't think it should be considered "milking the cash cow" unless it's about disabilty/illness.

[Emily]

That's why I completely agree about it in this case.

I totally agree i really didnt like this book. I thought it was over rated. I also didnt see why everyone rave about it and talked so highly of the book. Dont feel bad your not the only one who was dissapointed by the fault in our stars(:

So, who all are going to watch the movie???? I'll watch it online for free so that I can have a good laugh.

[Lexie]

What a pointless book! It was pointlessly sad, made to tug on your emotions. The plot "twist" was ridiculous. Personally in my own life I am in the midst of 2 similar situations and not always can people be brave and fight the good fight and to read about two teenagers falling in love in the face of death seemed exploitive. The Movie Commercial calls it a "Feel Good" movie????? What???

I'm going with my friends because they're all obsessed with it- I know the film will just give me more a reason to scold Tfios

[Xu]

Same with me. It wasn't a breakthrough like how it was hyped by a lot of people. Glad I'm not the only one who thinks this way.

[Sara]

I'm going to watch the movie with some girls from my book club because they're insanely obsessed with the book. I'm only going because I think the guy playing Augustus is hot.

Put a lucky charm in your pocket or something before you leave. It's what I do.

YES!!! Ansel Elgort is fine...

[Denise]

I agreed with many of your points. I hated myself for crying because the book was so pretentious.

[Siobhan]

I want to watch for laughs, but I don't want to fund John Green. So conflicted by this!

[Özlem]

I did not enjoy it either.

[Ashley]

It's a great book that's why u all hate. Haters will hate.

I'm so happy to see this! I think it's possibly one of the worst books I've ever read and it's only redeeming quality is how short a book it is. I don't understand everyone's obsession with it.. The plot is just so unrealistic as well as the characters, who whilst being unrealistic were possibly some of the most annoying characters I've ever come across.

Either find a friend so obsessed they buy the CD when it comes out, or go online and watch it on suspicious, questionable websites.

Technically, you won't be funding John Green if you see it because he sold the rights to the production company that made the film. He doesn't get any money from ticket sales.

At least, that is what he has stated on his website when someone asked him about it. That sounds right because Scott Spencer said the same thing about both of the "Endless Love" movies that were made.

Yeah, I think the latter is more realistic ;) I don't have any John Green Obsessive friends.

[Hana]

yes. you're the only one. Congratulations!

Hanna wrote: "yes. you're the only one. Congratulations!"

Yes. You're complete wrong in saying this. Coratulations!

you missed the entire point. Congratulations!

Hanna wrote: "you missed the entire point. Congratulations!"

Oh no, we got the point, shoved right in our faces. We got it so much that we could see where he couldn't pull it off. Which is our point.

[Bea]

Well.. you are not the only one. I don't like this book, too, but still I want to go to cinema to watch the film so then I can laugh at people who cry at this.

[Som]

yuck...haters...

[Ella]

I absolutely love TFIOS it is by far my favorite book and a lot of my friends too, i'm pretty sure it's the only book that has managed to make me cry and i think John Green wrote the book very effectively and it was very engaging. I think that maybe the books are targeted for young teenagers that love the idea of love and i respect your opinion, but maybe you just don't have the right taste in books for the fault in our stars, because to me i feel it will be famous for a long time and maybe turn into a classic, but i don't know, not everyone likes even the most famous books in the world and even though Shakespeare is said to be loved by everyone not everyone enjoys his plays... maybe it's just due to taste, no one can like everything.

[Som]

OK...Tell me why do you hate it? Give me one good reason...

It's a fad and John Green is a commodity, not an author.

I love many YA books, all well written with strong characters and a developed plot which has been adequately researched. That is the basic of any decent book. I did not find it here.

God, what's with all the fanaticals coming up in this thread? Envy that the thread is so long because actually, there's genuine cause for complaint in this story?

[Som]

No it's not...you didn't get it doesn't mean it's shit

And...heck, what a crappy review; not even sophomoric..enh..as expected..

you hate that guy's name too? what the...

how ironic your review said it lacked depth..hahahahaha

After reading that dodgy piece of crap review, it seems like you intentionally wanted to hate it cause most people loved it...wannabe 'different'...oooooo 'hail to the megalomaniac'...

all you book haters sicken me..*pukes pancake*..why don't you keep it to yourselves and make this world a better place! And this one is the most popular thread smh..

Can I just put out there that John Green must be doing something right because he's now a millionaire and the books getting turned into a film, also just because you don't like it doesn't mean you should ruin it for someone else, other people find the book relates to something happening in their OWN life so I don't see how you can say that it's fake! If you don't have anything nice to say about it don't say anything at all because you're ruining the enjoyment of it for others!

Yeah Ella...they love ruining others' happiness, that's their daily mission....they'll take a bullet for it lol

Look at that OP, he/she came back...am I a psychic...damn... O_o

There's no need to be rude about it I was just sharing my opinion, but if that's not welcome I'm sorry for even taking the time to share my feelings x

[Som]

They devoted almost a year to hate it, makes them more of a radical lover lmao

@Ella & Som

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! You have now changed my opinions of this shitty book by 0.00000000%.

[Som]

I can't make it clearer how you are a radical lover...you must be 5... O_o

OK, keep on hating it attention *****s; that's what this shitty thread is all about...I'm off to love the things more, those I usually love.

Ayesha....congrats for coming back again and again and again... and defending the hate for this one for the 1000000000th time hahaha...(fyi, it's a disease...)

[[deleted user]]

@Som: Don't you have better things to do than troll this thread? Like worshipping at the altars of shitty, overhyped books such as TFiOS, for instance?
Either way, GTFO!

[Som]

I couldn't tell if Ayesha (aka OP) was a man/woman... not you Aly, you're the definitive dumb blonde girl lol...please, don't hold grudges, save it for the next book thread for attention; the only attention you'll ever get....bye, have a nice one! :)
