The book has been named: TIME Magazine’s #1 Fiction book of the year, a New York Time’s notable Children’s book, one of the Wall Street Journal’s best Children’s Books of the year, Entertainment Weekly’s best Fiction of the year, Goodreads Best Young Adult Book of the year, Indiebound’s #1 Children’s pick, Apples best Young Adult Novel e-book of the year, and more. If any one book had to be chosen to represent the fiction of 2012, that book would be The Fault in Our Stars. John’s most recent book, The Fault in Our Stars, has exploded onto the book community. John has been a well-respected teen author for many years, but until 2012 he was more of a Young Adult secret, but this year has changed all of that. The Nerdfighters have raised hundreds of thousands of dollars which has been used to fight poverty, and, according to John’s site, they planted thousands of tree for Hank’s 30th birthday. These readers are so devoted that they voted 5 of his books onto NPR’s list of the 100 Best Teen Novels. Through this use of social media John has built a following of devoted readers.
The brothers are also very active on twitter and tumblr. The channel now has over 850,000 subscribers and the videos have been viewed more than 276 million times. In 2007 he and his brother, Hank, ceased textual communication and communicated mostly through videos they posted back and forth on their VlogBrothers YouTube channel. John has slowly built his following over the years.
According to John’s website, this community is dedicated to fighting for intellectualism and the decrease of world suck. Since then he’s gone on to publish four other novels, a short story in the book Let it Snow, contributed to several anthologies, and, with his brother Hank Green, started the Nerdfighter community. John’s first published book, Looking for Alaska, won the 2006 Michael L. Teen librarians, and others interested in the Young Adult genre have known the name John Green for years.
