TFIOS

The other day I started and finished a book called The Fault in Our Stars only about nine days after it had officially been released. The author had gone to great lengths to prevent spoilers from appearing anywhere on the internet or in conversation on his book tour, but I still felt like I knew how the book ended before I started reading it. I had listened to John Green read and talk about the book, (he shared a few quotes that I didn't know would be in the book which made those passages special to me), I knew who the book was dedicated to, why it was dedicated to her, and what happened to her, I knew something I didn't like would happen. All the book's of John's I have read have ended that way, ended with an ending I wouldn't have chosen. I like fairy tales and romances where everything ends as it should--happily ever after. One of things John said when I went to hear him speak was that he feels like is writing is horrible if he is writing for himself. The only time he feels like we writes something well is when he is writing a gift for us. And every book of his I've read has been a gift. They make me mad and cry and laugh and really angry while teaching me something that hadn't previously occurred to me. I shared TFIOS with a friend here who said he really liked it. I don't think any of my other friends will read it or really like it all that much though I kinda want everyone to read it.
