I'm glad that some of yesterday's authors are still writing with today's youth in mind. Even if his presentation is sometimes a bit cliche, there are always sufficient pangs of reality in John Green's writing to justify the concession to his target audience.

"Most adults are just hollowed out. You watch them try to fill
themselves up with booze or money or God or fame or whatever they
worship, and it all rots them from the inside until nothing is left but
the money or the booze or God they thought would save them. Adults think
they are wielding power, but really power is wielding them."
