I have recently started to read the
fault in our stars by John Green. John Green was born in Indianapolis and has
lived in many other states. He is both an author and a video-blogger, one of
the most-viewed on YoutTube with his early show Vlogbrothers as well as other
videos. His work with YouTube and self-promotion over the Internet set an
example for other authors, and video promotions for books is now standard
practice. He has written a number of young-adult books, most notably Looking
for Alaska, his first novel. He has won the Michael L. Printz Award, the Edgar
Award, and has been a finalist twice for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize.
Although his novel Paper Towns was
optioned for a movie, disagreements about the script has caused the project to
be canceled. Aside from his writing, Green still creates video-blogs for
YouTube with his brother, as well as collaborating with other young-adult
authors. Green continues to run a website for his fans, called Nerdfighters,
and produces new video material in a variety of formats. Green is married to Sarah
Green, his wife, and has a son, Henry. I hope I like the fault in our stars and
I am looking forward to reading it soon.
I like how in-depth you were about explaining the book
ReplyDeleteI like how you gave a background on the author because I didn't know all that stuff and it was really great.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know that he created video blogs. I'll have to watch some since I really like his books. The Fault in Our Stars is a great book that I think you'll like.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed how you have information most people wouldn't know just by reading his book! I love John green and liked hearing more about him.
ReplyDeleteI appreciate how you made the nice addition of a summary to help out the audience (me). Perhaps you should read this novel more and you may like it. Also, I like the choice you made by picking this book. It is about blogging and it is also very pertinent to present-day society. Nice job and keep updating posts as you continue to read the book.
