Again I can’t speak to John Green’s writing having never read his books so I can neither agree/disagree with you on that. I’ve heard about what he’s said recently, but I have also read his apology so you know what, I’d be willing to cut him a break (unless he’s said other things of which I haven’t heard of yet, but also I don’t care about him enough to spend my energy being mad at him anyway.)

And yes, there’re definitely good and bad stories from – I feel like it’s safe to say – every author. I’ll definitely give the book a chance although I’ve heard from various people how the book isn’t as great as everyone makes it out to be too, so I can’t say I’m expecting much of it. I’d already gone into this movie with low expectations, and somehow it managed to disappoint me further. It wasn’t entirely bad though. There were a very limited number of scenes where I was like, okay this is somewhat decent. And then the very next minute something super cheesy happens/is said and I’m like, nope I’m outta here.
