I am saving my first good review for the best modern YA author in the world (ok, this is strictly my opinion and in saying this I am considering authors such as Lois Lowry to be more classic in nature, but I digress.) John Green, ladies and gentlemen!!! I will be reviewing his fantastic new book from 2012, “The Fault in Our Stars.”
