Looking for Alaska

"white girl who's not like the other girls, finds the boy of her dreams.. a white boy who's not like the other boys!" This perfectly sums up every John Green book. All his characters are socially awkward, know the names of foreign poets and come up with phrases like "My thoughts are stars I cannot put into constellations" randomly. It is so pretentious. John Green is one of the most overrated authors in YA.

“It's not life or death, the labyrinth. Suffering. Doing wrong and having wrong things happen to you. That's the problem. Bolivar was talking about the pain, not about the living or dying. How do you get out of the labyrinth of suffering?”

His books do seem to all follow the same formula but I can't help but love them all
I think it's not fair to look at John Greens book with that angle of view, I agree with you that characters in his books have so many similarities and from my angle of view that's the point, us humans have so many similarities in our lives but we live our different stories.Different book different story.
Ps. I loved "Looking for Alaska"

He is SO pretentious
Thank you for this. You've just summed up my opinion of all three John Green books I've read, including this one.
