John Green is a Visionary

Paper Towns. Looking for Alaska. An Abundance of Katherines.
And The Fault in Our Stars.

Oh my Rowling, The Fault in Our Stars.
Augustus Waters. Hazel Grace Lancaster. Peter VanHouten. ISAAC.

June 6th. Friday. I don't think the world is prepared...I'm certainly not. I am, however, excited; ridiculously-and-totally-unable-to-breathe excited. And I'm sure there are many others who are on my level. And if you're a fan and you're not freaking out....GET ON MY LEVEL!

Okay...like I don't even know what to say right now. My head is just spinning with memories of the feels. The horrible and wonderful and amazing feels.

I have no idea how they can properly put those words on screen, but clearly we all desperately want them on screen. We want Augustus Waters and Hazel Grace Lancaster and their confounding love story to be truly visible and tangible.

Alright, since I am obviously dumbfounded and illiterate when it comes to actually talking about TFiOS, let me speak of its author.

John Green.

Seemingly endless and impossible vocabulary. Some of the words he used were so sophisticated I thought he made them up and they didn't actually exist in real life.

And it's crazy. They're just words. Just a stringing together of words. But they mean so much to people. To me. I like to think I can reasonably put together interesting and complicatedly beautiful sentences, but I have found no one - no other author - who can do that as well and as hauntingly honest as John Green. His combinations of words make people cry, and laugh, and I think most importantly they make people think. After reading TFiOS and Paper Towns and Looking for Alaska you just view life differently. And I think that is one of the biggest accomplishments any writer can have.

Very respect. Much awe.

So let's just have that be the overall message here....HUGE props to John Green.
God-willing I will one day write half as well as him.
