This was John's first published book. I believe I gave it 4 stars because at the time, while I was reading, there is a point of the book to where something really big happens and I was so upset I actually thought about throwing this book down. John writes about (in a young adult sense) all the hardships a teenager could go through. Life gets in the way.
The other thing I really love about his writing is there are so many sections and "quotes" that you can take from this book and put it to everyday life. It makes the world suck so much less. To me, his words are like a painting. (wow, I'm getting deep) The words are smooth, like they just roll off the tip of your tongue, and it really makes you think. It's just beautiful. He's the same way in his videos on Youtube. He seems to see things in a different way and he uses others' literary quote to fill his life.
Here's an example:

I can't really truly explain my love for John Green's writing. I tried my best to put it to words, but they do it no justice.
