In June I went to my first VidCon in Anaheim and it was amazing! For anyone who doesn't know what that is, it's kind of like an online content convention--some people call it a YouTube convention, but there's so much more out there now than just YouTube.
Check out this video review of the movie Paper Towns, based on the book by John Green.
The Fault In Our Stars has been my favorite book for a couple years now so I had high expectations for the movie. I knew that John Green had been telling his fans for about a year now how great the movie is, but I still did not have complete faith it would be amazing as the book.
All of John Green’s books are wonderful but this one is one of the best. It’s unique in that it is not really a love story and is more about a young boy’s journey to “seek a great perhaps” or a great life. “Looking For Alaska” is John’s first novel and has won numerous awards. Many list it as their favorite for its unique chapter styling and intelligent protagonist.
Cry, laugh, smile; that is what you will do when you read The Fault In Our Stars by John Green. John Green is my favorite author of all time. He writes the greatest young adult books I have ever read. He makes you feel like he understands you. Some adults treat teenagers or “young adults” like they are not equal and that everything they feel is silly. But John Green does not treat teenagers that way. His writing shows you that he sees all humans equally and that everyone’s feelings are valid. His writing and stories are so wonderful that adults will enjoy them as well.
A week and a half ago I went to the LA Times Festival of books with my daughter Jessica, my son-in-law Roy, and my "adopted" son Antonio. We hadn't been to one of these in years but decided to make the trek this year from the Fresno area because my daughter's favorite author, John Green, was going to be speaking there.

John Green’s latest book, Paper Towns, takes place in 2008 in Orlando, Florida. In the middle of the night high school senior Quentin Jacobsen’s next door neighbor, Margo Roth Spiegelman, wakes him so that they can have a last hurrah to their friendship and their last year of mandatory schooling with a night filled with crazy exploits.
