About John Green

I just got the book The Fault In Our Stars.  A lot of people have told me they loved this book and that i should read it too, so i decided that I would give it a try.  This book is written by John Green.  John Green was born in Indianapolis, but moved to Orlando, Florida three weeks later.  He graduated from Kenyon College in 2000 with a double major in English and Religious Studies.  After college Green worked in a children's hospital for five months.  He originally planned to be an Episcopal Priest, but while he was working in the children's hospital, it inspired him to become an author, and later wrote The Fault In Our Stars.  

In 2007, Green and his brother, Hank, started a YouTube Channel called "vlogbrothers".  They communicate by text only and they vlog at the same time.  They also had another YouTube channel where thy would host game shows called the HankGames which is mostly footage of video games.

John Green now lives in Indianapolis, Indiana with his wife Sarah. John and Sarah have two kids, Alice and Henry.  The family also has a West Highland Terrier named Willy.
