John Green, fellow nerdfighter, famous author, father, and one half of the Volgbrothers.
Recently he is mostly known for his #1 New York Times bestseller The Fault in our Stars. People around the country can’t put this book down and are falling in love with the main characters every day. The Fault in Our Stars is an awe inspiring, heartfelt, and honest story of a young teenage girl and the boy she meets that changes her world. Readers easily fall in love with the main characters and can’t seem to put the book down. It’s not just another cancer story, its the story about the genuine struggles of cancer and caring for somebody inspired by a real cancer patient.
The movie, starring Shailene Woodley who also starred in Divergent, is set to come out next week on June 6th! John Green attempted to play the role of a father from one of the scenes in the book, but his scene from the movie was ultimately cut from the finished product. However, those who see the movie on the 5th will get a chance to see his deleted scene at the premiere. If you haven’t already read this book I would suggest you start reading it today! With its compelling storyline The Fault in Our Stars is a fast read as it is hard to put down.
If you have already read The Fault in Our Stars and are looking for more of his stuff to read you can visit his website which has a summary, reviews, and comments for each of his books. I haven’t read anything else of his, but I plan to read the rest this summer. His other books include Looking for Alaska and An Abundance of Katherines.
Other than writing, John Green also makes Youtube videos with his brother, Hank Green. John and Hank started making Youtube videos for each other as apart of the Brotherhood 2.0 project. This was the only way they kept in touch for a whole year and since that first year the brothers channel, Vlogbrothers, has become wildly popular with over two million subscribers. Each week they post a video about updates on John’s writing, Nerdfighteria, and other random thoughts from the week. Together both brothers are very intelligent and funny. Just the other night I spent two hours just watching their videos on Youtube and I barely noticed the time pass.
Both John and Hank are responsible for the crash course videos as well. These videos come in handy when reviewing for AP exams and my chemistry regularly watches the crash course chemistry videos.
Consider checking either one or both of John’s works or just follow him on twitter. Here are some related links:
