Paper Towns was a fun book. 1000x better than the movie.
Paper Towns is far better than TFIOS in my opinion
Paper towns is more light that the fault in our stars but the TFIOS is better on my opinion
Paper towns
Fault in Our Stars has been his best in my opinion.
As much as I love TFIOS, Paper Towns was more enjoyable because of the touch of mystery in it.
Paper Towns!
I’d say TFIOS. While I enjoyed parts of Paper Towns (mostly the side characters), the whole driving force of the book irritated me.
This is exactly how I felt about it.
Both Paper Towns and looking for Alaska, I just didn’t understand why the main characters liked the girls they were interested in. So it kind of annoyed me the whole time. Otherwise, I liked the friends in both books. All of his books have great side characters.
I really liked Ben, Radar, Angela & Lacey. Q and Margo annoyed me to no end. I did however like the message it sent.. But annoying MC nonetheless.
Ugh I just saw zero appeal in Margo haha. I kept thinking, “Why are you even looking for her?” ?
I found Q to be a stalker and his obsession wasn’t endearing at all. Margo was a flake with excuses.
Haha yes! I loved the friends though. They kept me reading ?
Paper Towns first but The Fault in our Starts is much better in my opinion
Fault in our Stars
I liked Paper Towns. He wrote in response to his book Looking for Alaska and the critique it received.
The fault in our stars!
Fault in Our Stars
I read Fault in Our Stars first.
TFIOS
Fault in our stars!!!???
I love both but I would start off with the fault in our stars bc at times paper towns is kinda slow
I found myself drifting in the middle until it picks back up for graduation day.
me too!
Fault in our stars first
Fault in Our Stars and have a box of tissues near by!
I ended up looking like a crybaby after reading TFIOS ?
Paper towns!
Paper Towns first if you want to start happy(ish)
The Fault In Our Stars if you would rather start with the sad one and have the happy(ish) one left
TFIOS ??
TFIOS
Tfios
The Fault in Our Stars is so much better than Paper Towns. If that helps you decide at all.
Paper Towns
TFIOS
Paper towns!
Looking for Alaska is by far my favourite John green book ❤️❤️
The Fault in out Stars is so amazing that no other Johnson Green book will ever live up to that one, so my advice save it for later and enjoy some of his over books first ?
Paper Towns because he wrote it first ?
I’d say Paper Towns first. I haven’t read it but I think it will help to get used to his language before you read The Fault In Our Stars. I hadn’t been able to appreciate each part of it because I was having a hard time adapting myself to his way of writing.
Paper towns. The fault I our stars in my opinion is severely over rated.
Paper towns on the other hand, is fuckin amazing ❤
TFIOS
That’s such a hard choice
The Fault in Our Stars. It’s where I started with his books. And it’s still my favorite one. Although I haven’t read Turtles All The Way Down yet, so we’ll see what I say after finishing that. ??
Tfios then Looking for Alaska haha. I hate papet towns
Turtles All The Way Down first!
TFIOS
TFIOS!!!!
THE FAULT IN OUR STARS!
The Fault in Our Stars
Paper Towns!!!
Neither. I dont like his writing style
Depends. I loved The Fault in Our Stars and was very disappointed that Paper Towns was nowhere near as amazing. But there are many people out there who really loved both – TFIOS is probably less depressing, though.
The Fault in Our Stars ?
The Fault in our stars! He gave his all writing the book! Then watch the movie afterwards! Then take a minute of silence as you sail through a book hangover once you are done reading! Thank me later ?
And carry your tissues
Fault in the Stars
I have the same 2 books
The Fault in Our Stars
Paper towns
Tfios
Paper Towns
For future options I’d recommend looking for Alaska. I loved that one the most ? From your options I’d recommend paper towns first
Paper Towns sis.. 🙂
Fault in our stars
Looking for Alaska!!!!!
Still my favorite book til this day. Period.
Fault in Our Stars
Could anyone give me a review on paper town’s???? I have not yet started it.
I couldn’t bring myself to read The Fault in Our Stars.
Paper Towns was decent.
A fault in our stars
Incomparable
Paper Towns
out of those two. paper towns.
Paper towns. Please. Throw away TFIOS. It’s horrible. Very un-John Greencal.
Looking for Alaska… but since you don’t have then paper towns
The fault in our stars
The Fault in Our Stars
Omg! Read Paper towns first 🙂
The Fault In Our Stars
Paper towns
TFIOS <3 :')
Fault in our stars
Haven’t read paper towns yet but both are amazing . Guess u should better be on paper towns first
The Fault in Our Stars
Paper Towns
i always choose to read last the one that i think i will like more so that i enjoy each book just a little bit more …you should read paper towns first and then the fault in our stars
If you read them back to back, I’d definitely recommend reading Paper Towns and then The Fault in our Stars since Paper Towns is kind of a let down after TFIOS.
The Fault in our stars then paper towns 🙂
Thank you everyone for your input, I really appreciate all the responses! ??
Fault in our stars
Fault in our stars
I would read paper towns first and then build up to fault in our stars as I liked that one better and find that saving the best to last always helps
Paper towns first, The Fault In Our Stars is the best of the two.
TFIOS
Tfios
Fault in our stars for sure!
The Fault in our Stars!
Ok so I’ve read Paper Towns and it was like 3 stars. I will see if I can find Looking for Alaska. Then I’ll read TFIOS. If after 3 books he’s still a 3 author he might not be for me lol
I think this is an unpopular opinion, but I really liked An Abundance of Katherines, more than Paper Towns or Looking for Alaska. So I would still give it a try it you end up not caring for the others ?
I really like giving authors a chance but Paper Towns was a little underwhelming. I read it first because it seemed to be less popular than TFIOS. If I find An Abundance of Katherine’s first I’ll give it a go.
If you’re going in with high expectations, read The Fault in Our Stars. TFIOS was my first John Green book, and I adored it. Then I went on to read Paper Towns and was quite underwhelmed, but that was just my preference. I’m also not much of a contemporary reader, so they kinda have to hit me really hard in the feels for me to enjoy them.
That’s why I wanted to read Paper Towns first because I didn’t want to read it after something amazing ? I’m with you, I’m not much of a contemporary reader and it takes a lot.
Paper Towns was 3/5 stars for me. Without spoiling, the book brings you closer and closer to a climax that I personally feel wasn’t justified enough, but like I said, that’s just the way I read it. Turtles All the Way Down is getting some incredible reviews now too (I can’t put any input because I haven’t read it yet), but you might want to try that one out as well. Possibly read it first, but it’s really just what you want to read first.
Read the fault in our stars last. It’s the best one!
I have both
TFIOS
Paper Towns
Ok guys I found this for $1 so I’m guessing this before TFIOS
TFIOS is the best one. Definitely save it for last.
