awesome. i posted it on my blog--think clinton may be my favorite jg narrator yet.
Wow. Excellent. I liked the "did you get a haircut?" bit. And it was fabulous how you showed us the places as we heard about them. Keep up the great work! I'm reading Katherines right now and liking it a lot.
Holy cliffhangers, Batman! First, I must say how very bold you are to share your WIP here. And savvy. Second, that it's good (which I'm sure you know already). Third, that I'm very much looking forward to Friday now. L'shana tovah, John -- may you be inscribed for a sweet year.
Hey John.. this is Tomohr from youtube.. the one that posted and never has again.. anyways, I haven't honestly check out your books (I'm not really a reader, nor am I a young adult, or atleast would not consider myself to be one ((what exactly makes one a young adult))) anyways, your writing was awesome, I really enjoyed it.. I've always wanted to sit down and write something, but I think I would be bad, but seeing you just doing your thing is really motivating, who knows what could happen, but, I wish you luck with your endeavor, and can't wait to hear more!
I love the conversational tone of this piece.
I really hope you do get it finished on time...because I can't wait to read it! :)
John - will this be YA?
Goodness, man. I can't even describe my excitement for Paper Towns. Seriouslyseriously,
it already sounds like a bucket of amazing, even though you only read a bit.
Also, you really have a nice chin.
I think Paper Towns has the potential to be excellent. I fell in love with your first two novels. I really like your style of writing. You're refreshingly original, and I have a feeling that this new novel won't let me down either. Keep up the great writing John!! I aspire to write as well as you someday...
i think it's great!
>.> Very rough, but I like the line that you ended on very much.
WOW.
I really liked this. I also like your narrating. Its kind of funny.
I really do enjoy your books. Please keep writing!
OMG!!! I CANT WAIT!! i just finished Alaska and im waiting for Katherines to come in at Borders! John Green u Rock!!
John Green I'd just like to thank you. You made me want to be a writer again. I love you, you awesome awesome man.
John,
I started reading an uncorrected galley proof a few days ago and I couldn't put it down last night until I finished it. I'm not in the typical target audience as I'm a 46yr old male but I still took a lot away from having read the book (I could be more specific but then I would give away parts of the book here).
I read it after my 15yr old daughter finished it. She said "the book is great...once I started reading it, I couldn't stop...it really captured my attention!"
Thanks,
Scott
Any video that starts with Brothers on a Hotel Bed wins extra points. I'm actually wearing my "Plans" shirt right now, coincidentally.
this is great, john!
