You should read him. Amazing author.

Looking for Alaska is about a boy, Pudge, who decides to attend a boarding school in search of "the great perhaps". He finds it in a girl named Alaska.

The Fault in Our Stars is about kids diagnosed with cancer.

Haven't read Paper Towns but I will let you know.

If you like witty and intelligent teenagers, musing on the world and why it works the way it does, and plot based less around action and more around well developed characters, you will like these books.

I had read a review where they said that the main character went to this school and started smoking drinking and generally getting into trouble.
not trying to be rude but I was just trying to find out if this is true.

I'm trying to figure out how to answer this question in a good way, without giving to much of the plot away. Part of this will inevitably go in spoiler tags though. I hate to give people content warnings with no context, because sometimes this content is neccesary in books.

Ok, so Pudge goes to this boarding school and meets a group of friends but there's something looming on the horizon. We know this, because the books tells us how many days are left until something happens before each section. At the beginning we are one hundred and thirty six days before. At school, pudge is quickly absorbed into a group of high achieving, very intelligent kids. I want to stress that because while, yes, they do smoke and drink and pull pranks, they also are straight a kids. It's not like they are drop outs. The days left at the beginning of the sections heightens the awareness that something is about to happen; this can't last forever as it is. What we don't know is what will change, if it will be for better or worse, or how it will change the characters.

Finally...



In the end the book doesn't promote irresponsible behavior, it uses it to drive across a point and show characterization.

You might, in the end, find you disagree with Green's conclusions (you probably will. He's not a christian), but not reading a book because you might disagree with it is silly. You only fully understand your own point of view when you understand why people disagree with it.

I haven't kept up with the Green brothers in a long time but I did recently watch TFIOS, I really need to read the book. And Eskie, I did read Looking for Alaska and loved it dearly.
