You'd think the guy that wrote TFIOS is a big philosopher but guess what? He just sticks biscuits to his face and screams in the airport
I mean, Diogenes the Cynic did shit like that all the time.
How are those two things mutually exclusive? :D
But he’s not… NOT a philosopher. Or at least, a person with a vested interest in philosophy lmao
The people in the airport think that i'm crazy! ♫
Rosy Sánchez I looked for this video today because I kept singing that! I’m not in an airport...
Sometimes I forget that this was the energy of John's content ten years ago lmao
I'm so lucky that I've been watching vlogbrothers since 2009/2010
John Green is the kind of author that makes you want to cry, laugh, scream, smile, and think about life all at the same time. I tend to find myself doing all of the above together
I strongly agree omg
OH MY GOD YOUR PROFILE PICTURE!!!!!
Ainsley Breakenridge Okay? Okay.
one word repeated twice so much meaning
Iman H I'm not okay
Thomas Walker What's wrong??
My younger brother just came in and told me they were watching The Fault in Our Stars. I said, "So what? I'm watching the guy who wrote it."
Lol
TOMATOES ARE FRUITS. THE SANDWICH, JOHN! THE SANDWICH!
THAT'S WHAT I WAS THINKING.
I read the fault in our stars in 6 hours. On a school day. My teachers hated me for not paying attention in class but this book is the best book I have ever read. And I'm an avid reader with high standards ;)
I read it within the same amount of time except for me i read it during the night so i was so tired the next day.
same! it was confiscated from me when i was reading the last chapter - i was so annoyed..
I like to think that John Green's books secretly take place in the same universe. Sure you can read them and they might not have any connections whatsoever but it is still fun to think that they might just all be living in the same universe. All those stories going on, their separate but similar.
That's reality fiction for you and me.
Wouldn't it just be the best if GoogleMaps caught the TFiOS van on street view? ULTIMATE PRODUCT PLACEMENT!
2 years later.. the film is out.. he had no idea how huge it would become :) x
I got called Hazel Grace for a whole year after tfios came out, I cut my hair and my last name is lancaster....
When i read your books, I cant return to reality. I just cant. Your books are awesome, you wrote it like i am the character. Like im not reading the book. Im living the book. I only read The Fault In Our Stars, but i wanna read all of your books. I cried sometimes, i laughed sometimes. I cried when i finished the book. Im a huge fan of yours!
PS. Im sorry if my English isnt that good, im originally Dutch. (But i read your books in English)
Greetings, Lisa
I think reading books has made me more sympathetic. There have been moments where something reminds me of a memory, as if it happened to me, and on a rare occasion, I remember these faded memories. They're from stories. I still haven't read TFIOS (heresy, I know, I've been busy) but from what I hear, see, and know about it, it'll be more to add to this growing amount of experiences I never actually had.
This is where it all started
To this day,every time I’m in an airport, I start singing to myself,”The people in the airport think that I’m crazy”. I’ve sung it a lot.
lol I just read your reply on here from 6 years ago where you said the same thing!
When John said, "Is this real life?" did anyone else start to sing "Or is this just fantasy?"
The fault in our stars is my favorite book ever! I have always thought it was sad and it is but when I reread it until Augustus gets sick it's really hilarious!!
Dear John Green,
You ruined my life, gave me happiness and I cannot tell you how grateful i am for my little infinity with the book 😂 btw i used to not read at all and now I read three thick books a week.... ILYSM for writing this!!!!!
Give me a book
I love watching John get all excited whenever his new books come out. :3
wow I really admire John's confidence i could never talk in a airport to a camera...
Wait, since at one point Gus talks about the tomatoes in the sandwiches he makes when he's telling Hazel Grace how he's using his wish to let her to to Amsterdam, the book does technically talk about fruit, because biologically, although not legally, tomatoes are fruits.
> [...] because biologically, although not legally, tomatoes are fruits.
Tomato: Please, P.C. Apple, please, I'm not doing anything illegal. I tell ya, I'm a fruit. A FRUIT.
Police Commissioner Apple: What utter, nonsense! Your plea holds no water! You are, by the law of the field, a disgusting VEGETABLE! I can even show you the exact letter of the---
Tomato: Officer---
*P.C. Apple's spindly seeds swivel south, staring at Tomato*
Tomato: Um...sorry...I meant, Police Commissioner, to maintain that I am, biologically a FR---
P.C. Apple: Your uncouth mouth dare not claim a higher caste than reality! This is blatant slander! You are not fruit, and you never will be.
Tomato: But...I have seeds...
P.C. Apple: Don't you go shaking your leaves and yapping on about "Oh, bUt i HAvE sEeDs," because no one gives a flying O2! Biology does not matter; only the law does(!) and the law says that >vegetables< are punishable for sleeping with a fruit! The audacity!
Tomato: P.C. Apple! Were it not for biology, the both of us would not be here today, would we not? So I encourage you to reconsider your position, and put biology at the forefront of your---
P.C. Apple: The law was penned down for good reason, and it...it certainly...was not biology that...that it took inspiration...from.
Tomato: See what I mean?---
P.C. Apple: Silence! No matter, all that is important is that your blasphemous trap shall be wound up; you yourself, Tomato, shall be sliced and sent to -Australia- Kuwait, where arable-ness is at less than half a percent! You will very much---
Unknown: A renuncification of biology, eh? Very well, your true* forms shall overtake: you are now elements, in their purest forms! -Chemistry, baybeeee!-
[Please continue this story, for I have a child's knowledge of chemistry.]
I absolutely loved this book. I did feel all of those emotions and even cried reading it in class. This is a great book and it does have some funny parts along with a great plot. I really didn't like to read at all until I read this book. I highly recommend reading it, just not in class.
my friend is going to read it in front of my class...
And I AM GOING TO CRY!!!!
John Green, I just would like to say that this has been my favorite book ever. It is so well written and it has forever changed my perspective on other books, because the fact is, they could never be as good as this one. You're an amazing author and I just wanted you to know how much this book means to me and how truly amazing it is. I am looking into other books you've written now and I absolutely cannot wait until the movie comes out!
'ALL THE FEELS!!!'
John is just awesome
Oh god, I've just finished the book and it's easily one of my favourites. I laughed and cried and can't believe how much I felt the emotions of the characters and became invested in their lives. Thank you!
I loved that book! I remember at the beginning of the school year I was reading it in English and I started crying in the middle of class!
But yeah, this book made me think differently at life. And you, John Green, have inspired me to write more.
DFTBA!
My fav book of all time.
Thank you so much John:)
Carina Lupin Same!! ❤❤
Very good book.
I was at the part that Gus dies, so I was all teary from that. I started crying, and kept crying. And then I got to the part where Isaac and Hazel were trying to make their video game characters hump the cave wall, and then I was laughing.
Laughing and crying at the same time
TFiOS is my favorite book by far. It's really true: you laugh, you cry, and then you come back for more.
I finished this book so fast it was amazing, I was laughing and crying at the same time. Thank you so much!
i remember getting "the people in the airport think that i'm crazy" stuck in my head.... such a compelling tune
The Fault in Our Stars is my all-time favorite novel! My old school's Librarian recommended it to me, and I loved it. Honestly, I can't wait for the movie to come out!
John Green has destroyed my life.
Wow this is strange knowing about the success of TFiOS.
That's very true, but unrelated, I can't help but notice how similar our pictures are. My black cat salutes yours. Hope you have a nice day.
I'm 11 and I read the book. ITS SUCH A GOOD FREAKING BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just read it yesterday, and literally sobbed! I also cussed a lot, which is something I don't normally do, but this is literally THE BEST BOOK I HAVE READ SINCE POSSIBLY CHRONICLES OF NARNIA THIS BOOK IS AMAZING! I'm not crying every time people say "Okay." anymore though, which is a bonus. SO MANY FEELS!!!!! YOU ARE A CRUEL AUTHOR! BRILLIANT AND CRUEL! This is literally the only time I have ever said this about a book, so do not take this lightly: it is absolute literary perfection. There is always something not to like about a book; except in this case. You are brilliant, thank you so much for writing this book, I look forward to reading every other book you've written.
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I want to give you a formal thank you for writing the Fault in Our Stars. I know this video's from a while ago, but I hope you know how much this story has meant to me. My boyfriend actually got me to read his book. His twin sister died of cancer, and it was her very favorite book, and my boyfriend told me about it and it's really helped both me and him. It's like, hard to explain, but it's really given me the motivation to live life to it's fullest, and it's helped me to get over depression. In fact, on May second, I carried it around to me because it was a wonderful reminder of how precious life is. It's given me so much to live for, the story itself is beautiful, and I'm really thankful for everything you've done. You have probably saved me from committing suicide. I'm really thankful for everything you've done. You're an amazing artist, and The Fault in Our Stars means the world to me. Thank you so much.
Your book is perfection, I thank you for creating such a beautiful novel for so many to enjoy!
Just picked up TFiOS to read it for context in the movie, and it is one of the best books I've ever read. I had to put it down around chapter 20 to relax my emotions and finished it this morning.
when i watched this almost exactly a year ago i never knew it was going to be my favourite book of all time
The fault in our stars is my favourite book ever, it's so genius, thank you John:)
The fault in our stars is my ALL TIME FAVORITE BOOK!!!! And don't worry it made me feel all of the feels and I cried A TON!!!!❤️😘😭
You... you made me cry over a book for the first time in my life. But then again, you also made me laugh and love, you made me want to finish it as soon as possible but never stop reading it. TFIOS isn't a book. It's a life you gave me for a few hours. Not a happy one, but a beautiful one. So thanks. I really hope you read this.
Did u read Harry Potter?
nadira mehnaz I did, I'm a big fan, nearly cried.. but just nearly. Nothing can compare to tfios for me
:| ok. :/ But I still can't believe you nearly cried in hp and cried in tfios. :/ how?
Sometimes you just fall in love with a book I guess..
nadira mehnaz Harry Potter T _T
John Green, I read your book nonstop last night... It took my five hours to get through it... I spent one of hour that bawling my eyes out. I do believe that your book is the best book I have ever read in my whole entire life. (I read about 24 books a month and I started reading this much when I was ten.... So, I've read about 1440 books in five years...) This book has left me in awe because I have never felt this much from/in a book since I read Les Mis and even in Les Mis I didn't have this much emotion. (And trust me, Les Mis is an emotion pit of desaster.) I think you for your amazing talents at writing such an amazing and inspiring novel. I hope to read plenty more of your books in the future. (And I can't wait for the movie to come out, I'll probably be sitting in the theatre cuddling your book and dying on the inside the whole time...)
Bless your soul, John Green.

I love that nerdfighters can actually argue on the internet, on UA-cam no less, and emerge from it all not hating each other and respecting each others opinions. That's an unfortunate rarity so appreciate it.
Bruh I cant beleive this most random, memeical, yt guy making random videos for 14 years and this very same guy have written a classic in romantic books which people still read. Oh my god I cant beleive this.
i read the book all at once because i just couldnt put it down it was so amazing i laughed i cryed i had the feels lol
"The Fault In Our Stars" is one of ABSOLUTE FAVORITE BOOKS EVER!!!!
John, I love you but I can't look at you and not think about the fact that you're the first person to make me cry over a book. Thanks for that.
The book made me cry so hard I laughed and laughed so hard I cried. TFIOS was truly amazing.
god he has no idea does he
I cried once when reading TFIOS, when Agustus said that he hated himself. I bawled because I used to literally hate myself and Agustus is so loved in so many ways by so many people. And despite the fact that he does not exist, but in my head and yours, he is loved by me and is one of the most important people in my life. He and Hazel taught me being brave isn't always about being put up against and enemy, but somedays maybe fighting yourself for control of your own body. I love them, for they are both lodged in my heart forever. Always.
Read TFiOS a couple of months back - literally all in one sitting. Such an incredible story, both heart-breaking and heart-warming at the same time. I'm so glad it got the recognition it deserved.
This book is special to me since today :)
Best book I've ever read! Can't believe how amazing and emotional it was! Can't wait until the movie comes out too!
It seems unfair to try to describe what TFiOS made me feel like, because I'm just not able to find the words for it. It was the best real-life book I've ever read and every time I re-read the book, I start crying all over again. The funny thing is that I live in the Netherlands, very close to Amsterdam. Now every time I go to Amsterdam it feels like stepping in the word of Hazel en Augustus. Thanks for writing this book, John. It's just amazing!
My boyfriend's uncle (who was only 3 years older than him, and more like a brother) died three years ago at the age of 17 from a brain tumor. It's hard to imagine what Andy was feeling during the last few months of his life. I gave TFiOS to my boyfriend (for obvious reasons) and he came up to me crying 3 days later. He said, "It was hard to read. But feelings had to be felt." It sounded like something Hazel would say. Feelings have to be felt. John, thank you for making us feel them. Thank you.
Its the first novel in English I have read completely today
Congratulations!
Omg the airport 😂
I just read it this morning. And I most definitely felt ALL OF THE THINGS! John, WHY must you take my heart and throw it out the window? I absolutely loved it, thank you.
John Green, you sir changed my life with this book. I laughed,I cried,and I enjoyed every single word of it. Not only did it open my eyes but it opened my heart. And I thank you so much for that! 3
Pleeeeeaaaase stop speaking so so fast :((( im french and i dont understand :((( but i love this book!!! :)
I think this book’ll flop.
The Fault in Our Stars. This story happened to my bestfriend and i, except from the fact i dont have cancer and he didnt take me on holiday. We fell in love after a long string of events but his cancer came back and finally killed him. After reading this, it brought back all of the memories of him. To John Green, thank you for writing the most amazing, heart wrenching book i have ever read (and coming from a girl who is a massive book nerd), and to Adam, i love you.
all I did while reading was crying and or smiling, it was amazing and I hated the fact that it ended, I want more
And 2 and a half years later, the movie is out. And it is amazing. Congrats John on the success!!
I know you probably won't see this John, but I myself am ill which has left me feeling pretty depressed *feels sorry for self* and as a result haven't left the house in over a year now. But I had a medical appointment and on the way back managed to stop off at a book store. And there was your book. I felt this insane rush of excitement and immediately purchased. I am mere pages in and Hazel already reminds me so much of myself. Just, thank you John, you have no idea how much I love this book :)
'The Fault in Our Stars' is like my 'An Imperial Affliction'. I've read it a million times and still love, and I think its just such a wonderful gift that only Nerd Fighters should read it to preserve it's rare beauty.
I just finished reading it in one night and I think it's safe to say that it's my all time favourite book. It's amazing and legitimately made me cry. For reals. Thank you, John.
This past weekend I was at a state drama competition. I was both delighted and surprised to find that one of the group interpretations ( which for those of you who do not know are where you take a script or story and take away the set, costumes and direct interaction between characters, and by that I mean talking face to face, and perform it that way with parts in unison, it sounds lame but it's really cool. Look it up, my explanation really doesn't give it justice) was Fault in Our Stars.
Just heard about this book about 5 days ago, 4 days ago I got the book. I just finished reading on the bus coming home from work...i cried the entire trip. One of my all time favorite books.
The Fault in Our Stars came out one day after my birthday, and I remember getting it 2 days after that. It kept me glued to it the entire day... First time I finished a book that fast without it being a school requirement.
TFioS is a beautiful story. It is about a girl named Hazel Grace Lancaster who falls in love with a boy named Augustus Waters, but there's a clinch, she has cancer. Augustus is a survivor of cancer himself, and this gallant and romantic boy changes her life forever. This book takes a real and unflinching look at cancer without trying to romanticize it in the fashion of some works. Every chapter gave me something new to think about and I feel richer having read it. It is my favorite book.
I literally just finished it. I was literally bawling. Not just tears streaming down my face, but actually subbing
I walked past your TFiOS at Barnes and Noble, picked the book up, and immediately put it down. At that time I was unsure if my mom had breast cancer or not, and I was scared as heck (luckily, she didn't). To escape my anxiousness, I always went on UA-cam to watch vlogs like nerdfighters. It is an insane shock to me that my internet idol wrote that book! Now I know more about it and am eager to read it. It might've made me feel better if I had read it during that scary time in my life.
You are in my top 5 favorite authors. I loved this book! I cried at that one line that makes everyone cry. Lived it.
I have recently lost a friend to cancer and I can say that reading the book again after this experience is amazing in a horrible sad way
I discovered you around Thanksgiving. Since then, while trying to space your novels out, I've read them all (including the coauthored Will Grayson, Will Grayson). I finished The Fault in Our Stars this morning, and I do believe it is your best. Something beautiful, in fact. I was friends in elementary school with a boy with leukemia, and for the first time I feel like I at least sort of understand what he went through. Thank you so much, and I can't wait for what's to come.
I have never gotten emotional for a story in my life but this book made me cry.
Well. Done. My. Friends.
This book ripped my heart out and stomped it into a million pieces. The feels are just to much for my heart to handle. This was a wonderful book thank you John.
Dear John Green,
I just finished reading "the fault in our stars" and I have never cried this much, ever. I hate the fact that you built the character of Augustus only for him to die. Yes, I loved how he leaves his remains behind, in memories and in hearts. But I am just so sad. Maybe, we can relate to Hazel. Maybe it is the optimism and hope that one special person comes into our lives to make us feel alive. Augustus dying broke my heart, and maybe the hope of love lasting died too.
Barnes and Noble just advertised The Fault in Our Stars last week on huge posters in the front of the store at about the same time I began watching your channel. I picked up the "Exclusive Collector's Edition" almost right away. I can say that it was an excellent choice for the first printed work of fiction (not pixels) I've read in about 6 years. I read half of it this morning and intend to finish it tonight. It's a wonderful piece of literature. Thank you!
I finished reading the fault in our stars last night, I'm devastated in the most awesome way ever. thank you for this mr. John Green.
The feels were real, John, the feels were real. Honestly, that was one of THE most incredible books I have EVER read. I'll admit, I cried long after I turned the last page in the book.
OMG I have just finished The Fault in our Star. I have to congratulated you it's an amazing book. Gus and Hazel have stolen my heart. Your book it's spectacular. I couldn't stop crying, you are such an awesome writer. One of the best books ever :) One of the things that I love about it is that is kind of real, I mean, not everybody always have a happy ending. But you taught us that some infinites are longer than another ones. They are true love. Thank you.
John and Hank Green are brothers who communicate to each other and their fanbase/community (called nerdfighters or nerdfighteria) through video blogging (vlogging, hence the vlogbrothers.)
I just finished it, I'll be honest.. I bought it when it first came out.. life got in the way.. really wish it didn't, I now understand life and love... I wouldn't say better, but I understand them in a different way. I'm extremely glad that this book is in my life, I'm planning on re-reading it very soon. That says something because I'm not much of a reader, but I'm thinking of making that a new thing in my life. Thanks John, I'm honoured to have met you for a brief moment at vidcon last year.
I borrowed this book from my school library today, and while I was checking it out, a librarian came up to me and told me how lucky I was to get the last copy because it has been one of the more popular books in our school library. Apparently this copy was returned just 2 days ago! Apparently, our library is also in the process of purchasing new copies of both TFIOS and Looking For Alaska. :)
To john, I read the fault in our stars I have never laughed or cried so much at one book. It's now my favourite book. Thank you for providing me with that book!
I recently finished this book...I'm a seventeen year old senior guy. I cried so much at the end of this book and I AM NOT ASHAMED!!!! Woooo that felt good!
Finished the book and am in love. SO AMAZING. CANNOT DESCRIBE FEELINGS IN COMPLETE SENTENCES THAT MAKE SENSE. WOAH CAPS LOCK.
2 years later and the movie is about to come out :) I'M SO EXCITED!
Comedy, romance, tragedy? What more can I ask for. This book has it all. I love the Fault in Our Stars. It made me laugh, fall in love, and cry A LOT. I cried in the bathroom, I cried on the balcony, and I even I cried at school. The Fault in Our Stars is truly an awesome book. Nice work John Green.
So I just finished The Fault in Our Stars today... and I am seriously IN LOVE with this book
This video is a milestone. At this point our beloved john green was oblivious to the success of this book. This is where it all began.
I just finished the fault in our stars. It's the book that has made me feel the most emotion ever, and i love it so so much. My first of your books, will definitely be reading more!
This is my FAVOURITE BOOK EVERRRRRR!!!! I literally walked into a bookshop knowing I needed to get this book, saw it instantly and bought it. I proceeded it read it in a matter of hours(over the course of a couple of days) and it made me cry my eyes out. Then as soon as I finished it I put it down, and then picked it up and started reading it again. I cried again. I am now reading it for the 3rd time and I doubt I will ever read a book as undeniably moving ever again; so thank you John Green!!!
This one .. just gives me a reminder that ... John... Your amazing stories are amazing.
I was absolutly blown away by this story. I loved the witty humor, the jokes weren't like "lololololol", they were more like "ha." jokes and I love that in a book. I felt instantly conected with Hazel from the moment i picked up the book. I loved her realistic outlook on life. And Gus's love for metahpors... And at the the end, I truly sobbed uncontrolably. Maybe I was just hormonal and tired (I was up till 4am finishing this thing) but I have never been touched like that from a book. Thank You.
I felt ALL OF THE THINGS. Books down usually make me cry but I nearly (like tears about to fall out my eyes) cried. Best Book Ever.
I cried... numerous times. My mother came in and asked "Is this boy trouble?" and i said "He *sniffles* he...*sniffles*" and then she said "I know, it's tough don't worry." i didn't have a chance till later that day to tell her it was your book... But i have to say, i don't read much because i find reading difficult and i read your book in a day and a half... Says A LOT! THANKS JOHN GREEN!
