I really liked TFIOS when it first came out and have reread it a few time since the initial read. I agree with a lot of your points; it's cheesy and definitely overhyped, especially with the movie. It went from being a book that no one, at least in my circles, knew about to something that everyone was quoting everywhere. Some of the more meaningful quotes of the book turned into tumblr posts that took away from their meanings. <br /><br />In regards to other John Green novels I suggest Looking For Alaska (my personal favorite), or Will Grayson Will Grayson. I'm not a big Paper Towns fan as it's too similar to Alaska, but it's not a bad read.<br /><br />shanssoapbox.blogspot.comShannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12076858446617484598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1651458497556283467.post-9228801091979989192014-06-26T19:42:56.713+01:002014-06-26T19:42:56.713+01:00It's so strange, earlier today I've had a ...It's so strange, earlier today I've had a conversation with a friend who also didn't like this book and also thought it's overrated. I am still reading it, so don't really have an opinion yet but it's so refreshing to hear a different opinion because everyone keeps telling that this book is amazing and not everyone dares to criticize it :) <br />MiglÄ— x | <a href="" rel="nofollow">Meet Me On The Balcony</a>MiglÄ—https://www.blogger.com/profile/07606100921101061012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1651458497556283467.post-60249787428232809112014-06-26T16:22:30.246+01:002014-06-26T16:22:30.246+01:00I agree with everything you've said, recently ...I agree with everything you've said, recently read this book and had a horrible niggling feeling about it because I just didn't understand the 'hype' about it but couldn't quite put my finger on what I didn't like about it. But this blog post has sort of opened my eyes to what disappointed me in this book. <br /><br />It was such a good premise for a book but its almost like John Green cheapened it by making it a little too cheesy for my liking. But I guess what he did worked because many people out there loved the book and I dread to think how much money he's mad. <br /><br />I would definitely not say it was a 'bad book' but I don't think I would read it again which is a shame.<br /><br />http://skindeepchatter.blogspot.co.uk/Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09739634539609464388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1651458497556283467.post-8309882185963777742014-06-26T13:01:34.642+01:002014-06-26T13:01:34.642+01:00I, to some extent agree.

I wish thoroughly let down, I am an avid reader and although as I've been growing older I find less and less time for it, I do still enjoy reading. I have read so many books that tfios is just "alright." It does not live up to the hype: sure John Green has a knack for words, and I do very much enjoy vlogbrothers, I just find tfios (and most of his other books for that matter), not worth the hype. Despite this, I did think that the movie was a spot on (well-almost) adaptation of the book-it's just that both weren't spectacles.

I'm pleased that people like you can say you have criticisms of the book because how boring would life be if we all liked the same things?! <br /><br />I feel like I have a much more of a connection with the book than the average person because I am dying and there are things that John Green got absolutely spot on from my point of view like the wearing of oxygen and hating my lungs for not doing their job properly, the climbing up the stairs and wanting to do that by yourself, the feeling like a grenade and then the portrayal of Gus getting his infection, I know exactly how that feels and how painful that is. But like you I have criticisms of the book too and you definitely shouldn't feel like you should have to hide your opinion. <br /><br />Great Blog Alice! <br />Much Love <br />Stacie xoxo <br />http://stacie-lifeisworththefight.blogspot.co.uk Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04999021526201181770noreply@blogger.com
