John Green!

I am in love with John Green!!!!!

He's literally one of the best author ever, really. His books amaze me. the way he wrote the story-lines, all the plots and the way he described things and people and everything and don't get me started with his amazing quotes that I found in his books!  his books make me feel happy, giddy, frustrated, depressed, sad and everything at the same time, and it was amazing.

These are my favorite books of John Green:
1. Looking for Alaska.
His very first book and yet, he managed to make it as a #1 New York Times bestseller book. It's a story about a boy named Miles or Pudge whose life used to be so dull and is captivated by last words. Ask him anyone's last words, and he'll answer it correctly! then, he went to a boarding school to search for a "Great Perhaps" and there, he met Alaska, a girl with a complicated life. In the end of the story, Alaska died, and no one knows whether she did it purposely or not. What I like about this book is that, it taught me that we need to leave the past behind us, that there's a reason behind every action, that the smallest thing we did can impact other's life, that nothing can last forever, not even the earth itself, that we are greater than the sum of our parts, that we are as indestructible as we believe ourselves to be and that we need never to be hopeless, because we can never be irreparably broken.
2. The Fault in Our Stars.
this book left me breathless, really. I was crying so hard reading it. Pathetic, I know. Crying over a character who's not ever real. But that's the things I love about books. It has powers to make me laugh, happy and sad at the same time. Anyway, TFiOS tells the story about a boy and a girl who have cancers. Yes, both of them have cancers. That's the thing. They love each other's imperfections, perfectly and that's what makes them perfect. From the very fist page, I thought it was Hazel (the girl) who's going die, but turned out, Augustus (the boy) died first. The famous quote from this book is "the world is not a wish-granting factory". And in fact, it really is not. I realize that I cannot get everything that I want and nor can other people. Some people out there want a home, a roof, to shelter their head from the rains and storms and they do not even get it. And here I am, complaining about how my mother doesn't give me enough money. It taught me to be grateful for everything I have, because some people have it worse than me.

3. Paper Towns.
This book is creepy. There's this girl named Margo and she suddenly disappeared with no reasons. And this boy named Quentin, is determined to find her. She, after all, was his crush. Margo left some kind of clues behind, so that Quentin could find her. Later on, Quentin and his friends found out where Margo was, so they went there. She was at the Paper Town. "A paper town for a paper girl" she said. This book tells a lot about the fakeness in life. About how fake people is, about how easy people would change for someone else and how hard it is to find someone who's real. After I read this book for the 2nd times, I realized it tells us about a boy who's trying to know himself better, and also the people around him. In the end, they found Margo, but Margo refused to go home, so she stayed in the Paper Towns, and Quentin left, because sometimes, we have to leave in order to find the right place for us to stay. "it's so hard to leave until you leave. And then it is the easiest goddamned thing in the world, leaving feels too good, once you leave". And another thing I can learn from this book, is that I shouldn't put labels on people without knowing them first, because just like Margo, there's something behind a disguise.

You know what, It's amazing how fictional books can teach me more morals and the values of life than the society can.
