I finished the series but they were very slow.
Yeah 'The fault in Our Stars' wasn't as good as I thought it would be. I personally think 'Looking for Alaska' was way better and should have been made into a movie instead.

I haven't read either yet.
looking for Alaska was much, in my eyes, better. the characters were perfectly flawed which made for an interesting read. I loved the mysteries of Alaska and enjoyed reading it more although I did like TFIOS. I think when the movie came out it did become cliché - I would see girls carrying it around everywhere, just to show it off- I think that its a shame that it became like.

I agree I liked the book before the movie came out. Movie fans annoy me.

I really don't get why people could ever use something as beautiful as a book just to look 'cool'. It really just annoys me. Books should never be treated that way because they are far to amazing!

My thoughts exactly! Its like when people have really good books on their shelves to make it seem like they've read them, and you try to start a conversation but you can't because they haven't picked it up yet.
Or people with bookish symbols (Deathly Hallows, the Okay, Okay, the Angelic Rune etc) without knowing where they actually come from.

Yeah I agree with you on Beautiful Creatures, it definitely didn't live up to its ratings and I also found that it dragged on and on.

agreed
