Yep, you read that correctly, folks – I actually like The Fault in Our Stars. This should have been semi-evident upon seeing my blog title and icon, both fashioned in the same basic style of the book cover and promotional graphics. It’s one of my favorite things.
But you know what? I would be downright terrified to admit that this is one of my favorite books if I were sitting in a classroom with my peers. So much negativity surrounds John Green, largely because of his massive online presence (vlogbrothers, crash course, mental floss, twitter, tumblr, et al.) and the fans of the original vlogbrothers YouTube account, Nerdfighters. The video blogging account which John shares with his brother has over 6 million subscribers. In the eyes of the critical, this gives John’s books an unfair advantage at success. In addition, many nerdfighters are teens themselves, and many skeptics have pointed out that these viewers are at an age where they have less experience at living than adults. Obviously true.
