That’s great Melissa — to have a local author like John Green in your hometown. Wow. He does Indy proud I’m sure.

Thanks Sheila. Yeah me too. I will look to read his other books.

I agree Michelle. Most often adaptations can’t compare to the books and this one will be very hard to I think.

It is such a wonderful book. I actually just got another copy from Audible so that I can listen to it soon rather than re-read it (although I imagine I will do that as well in future years). As for the movie, I’m definitely not going to see it in the theaters. I might see it when it comes out in Redbox, but even then I won’t be in any rush. All of these adaptations lately have me feeling wary and more than a bit exhausted because they so often fail to capture the magic of the books.

Yeah you might have a point Brooke. I guess Green seemed to refrain from overly sappy-ness in this one and he’s respectful of teens having brains which I found nice. But I take your point.

Yeah Carrie I need to read Divergent pronto before the movie comes out. It seems you didnt like the 3rd one in the series but liked the first two okay. We’ll see if Woodley can pull it off.

His characters have the Dawson’s Creek syndrome I hate which means they talk like pretentious Jonathan Franzen wannabes. And I just can’t get past that. The Fault in Our Stars is a sweet story though, and I know why so many kids and adults have embraced it. I’ll see the movie eventually, as well.

I see her as Hazel much more than I see her as Tris in Divergent.
