[QUOTE="Days of Broken Arrows, post: 919964, member: 4258"] John Green's "The Fault in Our Stars." It's an account of what it's like to grow up with an illness by someone who it seems like never actually spoke to a sick kid or set foot in a hospital. And then there's the White Knighting, which marred his earlier books (especially "Paper Towns) but is on steroids here. A friend of mine from his school said his (butt-ugly) daughter thought this book was brilliant, just brilliant, because of its character development and that's why it was a mega hit. I countered that the American people also made hits out of crap like "Dallas," the empty-calorie books of Danielle Steel, and novelty music like "Bend Me, Shape Me" and sales do not = quality. We haven't spoken since. [/QUOTE]
