I have only read one of his books so far, and can't wait for Paper Towns. But I love Looking for Alaska! What do you think?

I haven't heard of Looking for Alaska. What exactly is the book about?

It is a bout a boy who goes to his fathers old boarding school. While he is there he falls in love, suffers tragedy, and gets caught up in a typical teen life of smoking and alcohol. It actually has a fair amount of cursing, so beware if you do read. That is about the only down part of the story.

Looking for Alaska was so amazing. It's still definitely my favorite.
Katherines was very good and very funny.
Paper Towns was just... wow... Yeah. I loved it.
I still need to read Let it Snow...
John Green himself is pretty awesome, though. I was sooo glad when I got to meet Hank and him.

Hehehehe. They were pretty cool. John gave a lecture-type thing about what Paper Towns is about, which is the mis-imagining of people and how destructive it can be. It was very interesting. I loved it.
I also loved listening to Hank's songs.

I love Paper Towns, it was so amazing! I was crying so hard at the end. John Green's writing style is so interesiting and Q's POV was so amazing! I hadn't even heard of the whole nerd fighters thing until I found Paper Towns in my school library.
That's really cool that you got to meet John and Hank! I love watching their videos now!

John Green is awesome. His YouTube videos with his brother are hilarious. I would do anything to have dinner with him and his fellow YA writer friends - Libba Bray, Maureen Johnstone, Scott Westerfield, etc.

Ah yes Vlog Brothers. Fun stuff. Like the fat sandwich. I felt bad for him at first, then realised he was free entertainment! Paper Towns is my favorite of all books. Ever. I am now beginning to read An Abundance of Katherine's, and I hope that it is going to be just as great as the others.
