Review:
Looking for Alaska
“Looking For Alaska is a showcase to the raw talent John Green has, the kind of talent that can make you close the crisp last page of a novel and come out as a different person....
A gem of modern literature.” —Guardian
“What sets this novel apart is the brilliant, insightful, suffering but enduring voice of Miles Halter.” —Chicago Tribune
★ “What sings and soars in this gorgeously told tale is Green’s mastery of language and the sweet, rough edges of Pudge’s voice.” —Kirkus
An Abundance of Katherines
★ “Fully fun, challengingly complex and entirely entertaining.” —Kirkus
★ “Laugh-out-loud funny.” –Horn Book
“Funny, sweet, and unpredictable.” –The Minneapolis Star Tribune
Paper Towns
★ “Green’s prose is astounding.” —SLJ
★ “Green ponders the interconnectedness of imagination and perception, of mirrors and windows, of illusion and reality . . . He is not only clever and wonderfully witty but also deeply thoughtful and insightful. —Booklist
★ “These are characters readers will remember for a long time.”—KLIATT
The Fault in Our Stars
“Damn near genius . . . The Fault in Our Stars is a love story, one of the most genuine and moving ones in recent American fiction, but it’s also an existential tragedy of tremendous intelligence and courage and sadness.” —Lev Grossman, TIME Magazine
“The greatest romance story of this decade.” —Entertainment Weekly
“[Green’s] voice is so compulsively readable that it defies categorization. You will be thankful for the little infinity you spend inside this book.” —NPR.org
Turtles All the Way Down — Newly available in paperback!
“So surprising and moving and true that I became completely unstrung. . . . One needn’t be suffering like Aza to identify with it. One need only be human.” —Jennifer Senior, The New York Times
“A sometimes heartbreaking, always illuminating, glimpse into how it feels to live with mental illness.” – NPR
“A tender story about learning to cope when the world feels out of control.” —People
