I have never read a John Green book *gasp*
Soo..where should I start?
Looking for Alaska or I heard his new book turtles all the way down was good
Sooooo
Looking for Alaska or TFIOS, probably
You should definitely start with The fault in our stars
Then paper towns,an abundance of katherines,turtles all the way down,will Grayson will Grayson and let it Snow
Looking for Alaska is probably his best
Fault in Our Stars
I’m not a John Green fan, but Will Grayson, Will Grayson, which he wrote with David Levithan is a really good book.
I’d start chronological and go with Looking For Alaska.
Don’t start, it’s not worth it…
Thought I’d try some easy lectures! Are they relaxing at least?
I would not say relaxing.. just boring(in my oppinion), that’s why I advised you not to read them, but it’s up to you 🙂
Yeah I read TFIOS when the movie was out and all hyped up, and I found both really ‘meh’ and disappointing. Not bothered to read another or watch another movie adaption
I mean…. that’s not a bad thing
TFIOS
Turtles All The Way Down or The Fault In Our Stars
Looking for Alaska
An Abundance of Katherines was also really good!!
Chapter 1
Fault in our stars. Paper towns is a good one but it has a good slow period in the middle
I started getting so bored at the mid part of paper town, that I almost disiked it.
The Fault In Our Stars but An Abundance of Katherines was my favorite.
LOOKING FOR ALASKA!!!!
Well Tfios is the most basic one you know Jogn Green= Tfios, so its your choice, but make sure you’ll read LFA cuz…
Looking for Alaska! His books are amazing!
Fault in our Stars!!!!!
Turtles All The Way DoWn! I could never finish TFIOS, because of the ‘romance’. And TATWD doesn’t have romance, and is really relatable if you deal with some sort of ‘mental illness’ (being terrified of mistakes, OCD’s ect)
I’ve only read Paper Towns and Fault in Our Stars. Fault in our stars was more emotional, paper towns was slow, but did make me laugh and such.
THE. FAULT. IN. OUR. STARS. Its the perfect introduction to John Green! have I said it loud enough?
Turtles or paper towns
Nor have I.
The very first book I read by him was the fault in our stars. Extremely good book. Good as any other.
I really enjoyed Turtles All the Way Down, TFIOS, and An Abundance of Katherines. ?
Fault in our stars or looking for Alaska would be a good start.
Looking for alaska
I really only like The Fault in Our Stars and Turtles all the Way Down. Read the others but did not enjoy them.
Me neither! I’ve seen The Fault in Our Stars movie, so I’m going to start there 🙂
TURTLES ALL THE WAY DOWN
Fault in Our Stars for sure
TFIOS or Paper Towns
You’re not alone
TFIOS is a good start.
I haven’t either. But from what I’ve heard they aren’t my cup of tea anyway
Paper towns!! Its my gavorite bpok by him
The fault in our Stars
Paper Towns is my favorite. And the Looking For Alaska.
The Fault in Our Stars is a wonderful start! An Abundance of Katherines is also a good one to start on. If you find you like his writing and his stories, check out Looking for Alaska and Turtles All The Way Down!
The Fault In Our Stars definitely
The fault in our stars ?
TFIOS?
Read the brief descriptions and decide which one appeals to you most. I started with An Abundance of Katherines because it was a battle of the books book when I was in high school.
The Fault in Our Stars. Must Read!
The fault in our stars is great.
Looking for Alaska or the fault in our stars.
The Fault in Our Start is his finest ??
I almost want to say “The Fault in Our Stars” but I feel like it sets the bar so high. His other work is still really good but I feel like I made a mistake by starting with that one, as I’m constantly comparing his other work to that
Looking for Alaska
Papertowns
I never did too.
I have read one it pissed me off TFIOS afraid to read anything else
Why’d it piss you off?
Hard to really say but the end if you can call it that
Looking for Alaska.
Well let me change that. Read the ones that aren’t sad first so you don’t hate John Green and don’t read his feel good novels. Almost all of his novels involve mental illness in some form. They helped me through mine. For feel good novels: An Abundance of Katherine’s, Will Grayson, Will Grayson (Co written by David Leviathan- must read some of his novels too), and papertowns. For his adventure novel: Turtles All The Way Down. And when you need a good cry: The Fault in our Stars or Looking for Alaska. I haven’t read Let It Snow yet because I was waiting for winter.
Alaska
NOT abundance of Katherines. Someone told me that, and I’ll pri never read his books again.
Agreed. That’s the last book of his I read and it turned me off from reading anything else of his.
I read them in publication order as someone suggested it to me. I love that I did as I think he gets better with each book.
Fault in our stars n turtleall the way down
Fault In our Stars.
LOOKING FOR ALASKA
the fault in our stars ❤
All of his book are wonders. Start with anyone and you wouldn’t be disapponted.
Looking for Alaska. Orrrrr An Abundance of Katherines <3 idk why everyone thinks the latter is not good. Its amazing actually
Just read TFIOS and then forget all about him
TFIOS OR ALASKA <3
The Fault in Our Stars
The Fault in our Stats ?
for me Will Grayson Will Grayson or an Abundance of Katherines
I think the easy one would be The Fault in Our Stars. I feel its his most known. But if it were up to me, i would say start with Looking For Alaska. Felt it to be more hooking. But all of his books were enjoyable for me.
Looking For Alaska!
Looking for Alaska or Fault in our stars.
I’ve only read Fault…
Looking for Alaska I think
Looking for Alaska or The Fault in Our Stars
I’d recommend Looking for Alaska, or The Fault in our Stars.
Would NOT recommend Papertowns or An Abundance of Katherines.
nope and nope… I personally never liked his books because they were so repetitive and the characters were wayyy too articifical
This was me before I read The Fault in Our Stars. Worst decision. I’m not going to read anymore John Green books ever.
