But yes, he tries to go for soul-crushing. I haven't read anything by Sparks yet, always sounded too sappy.Oliviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14455853073490483024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-115308231743588235.post-67013281228876963752016-11-30T06:15:32.547+00:002016-11-30T06:15:32.547+00:00I've read one of his books and found it okay, ...I've read one of his books and found it okay, but I don't read a lot of YA.

I don't mind things bittersweet but downright tragic endings kill me! I've heard his books are a lot like Nicholas Sparks. I've only read The Last Song by Sparks and loved it despite the bittersweet ending..Maybe I'll give John Green a try though I don't think The Fault in our stars is my kind of book. Paper Towns seems like something I could read though :) Great review!Uma @Books.Bags.Burgershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10112898986107572612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-115308231743588235.post-52966937694641831782016-11-29T12:51:52.036+00:002016-11-29T12:51:52.036+00:00If you don't mind tragic stories, his most bel...If you don't mind tragic stories, his most beloved is (probably) The Fault in Our Stars - Girl with cancer, knows she'll die soon, but gets to experience her first love nonetheless. I really enjoyed that one, but it suffers from very intellectual and philosophical teenagers.<br />If you'd like something more uplifting go with Paper Towns. I think it's short enough to give you a sense of what John Green is about without shredding your heart.<br />I loved Looking for Alaska but it's also a tragic story and I think The Fault in Our Stars is better.<br /><br />I still haven't read anything by Nicholas Sparks. I might have to change that, actually.Oliviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14455853073490483024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-115308231743588235.post-1115492276894557572016-11-29T12:37:30.497+00:002016-11-29T12:37:30.497+00:00I can't say I have read any of his books altho...I can't say I have read any of his books although I keep hearing about it a lot on Twitter. Him and Nicholas Sparks (even HP). I am yet to read all of these books, I hope I can give them a try in 2017.
