In the past couple of years, Green has become something of a rock star to teenage literati, and trying to explain the breadth of this YA godhead’s appeal to those on the outside of the Nerdfighters circle is a big job. Of course, to simply call the proudly nerdy 36-year-old resident of Indianapolis and young-adult novelist a writer – and to refer to The Fault in Our Stars as a teen movie – completely misrepresents the cult phenomenon that the book and its creator have become.

There are two days to go until the release of the film adaptation for The Fault in Our Stars, writer John Green’s love story about two teens with cancer. When Holden Met Katniss: The 40 Best YA Novels The most recent issue of the New Yorker has dedicated nine pages to the man they’ve dubbed “the Teen Whisperer.”

Right now, in Times Square, there is a giant billboard counting down the days until “the greatest romance of the decade.” Fandango has announced record pre-sale numbers for a romantic drama.
