(Anonymous) 2012-03-31 03:04 pm (UTC)(link)I think that there are some key differences between the books, despite their premises being pretty much the same. What I get out of it is that he uses the same premise, but builds off of it in a different way every time. I enjoy Paper Towns, Will Greyson Will Greyson and The Fault in Our Stars. I feel like John uses the same premise but builds interesting thoughts off of each.
I loved the way he used the different meanings of hamartia and the fault being with the characters of a story or in their decisions. It was an interesting way of looking at narrative regarding terminal illness. And I think the reason people love these books is because of the characters. Agustus Waters and Hazel Grace are quite lovable for a lot of people, because they can relate to them on a personal level. His stories are far more character-driven than plot-driven.
And unlike Twilight, the female lead isn't made of cardboard.
But I can see why people don't like his books, for sure. Just throwing my two cents in as a rational fan of his :P.
