Author Study: John Green

John Green is the author of A Fault In Our Stars, which is the book I am currently reading. To start off he was born on August 24, 1977 in Indianapolis. As a kid, in highschool and middle school he was bullied. John still talks about his experience and how it made life difficult for him, today. He went to Kanyon College and graduated in 2000 with a major is english and religious studies.

He was planning to become a priest, but while working in a hospital where lots of kids have terminal illnesses, he was inspired. That is when he started writing A Fault In Our Stars. Today, he lives in Indianapolis with his wife. Their children's names are Henry and Alice.

Some other books he has written include Looking for Alaska, An Abundance of Katherines, Let It Snow: Three Holiday Romances, Paper Towns, Will Grayson Will Grayson, and of course, The Fault in Our Stars. He uses his real life experiences in his books and I find that really cool.

Another interesting thing about John Green is he has a youtube account. Here is a short biography about him.

  1. I've read "The Fault In Our Stars" and "An Abundence of Katherines" and I enjoyed them very much. "An Abundence of Katherines" was very funny and made me laugh multiple times. I want to read "Paper Towns".
