I just loved reading your thoughts here and I definitely agree! John has a definitely knack for writing thoughtful characters that are well beyond their years (and I agree with your reasoning as to why this works) as well as really enigmatic female characters that have you wanting to know just as much about them as the male leads do. I really couldn't say which of his books was my favourite, but what I DO know is I'm very much looking forward to his next book, whenever that may be! The movie adaptations in the works, too.

I've read and loved An Abundance of Katherines, however, and Paper Towns is sitting on my bookshelf waiting to be read. The Fault in Our Stars and Will Grayson, Will Grayson are still perhaps my favorite Green novels, but I've heard only praise for Paper Towns and am looking forward to getting to it soon.

I've heard a lot about the older, scholarly voice his characters have. I think that's good, but maybe he should vary it up. I don't know. I guess I will have to give them a try. I'm glad you enjoyed both!
