  • Nerimon!

  • John, I was wondering if you know of any "fake" signed copies of TFiOS out there. It looked like you only signed the copies that had the plain white sheet with your signature on them.

    Would it be possible that there would be a signature on the "title page" of your book? Many of these ones also have the "hanklerfish" on them as well, from what I have seen on the internet. I just don't want to get TFiOS signed by some guy named Keith.

    (Didn't know about TFiOS till after it was released...)

  • @TheCaphits i think the ones people bought on the tour were signed on the title page

  • Me while watching this:

    "Hey this song is pretty catchy... COME ON DARLIN'!!......wait..."

    I love how all the awesome people on youtube know each other :3

    P.S. Is that Alex Day at 0:30 ?

  • @MrLeviathan34 Haha, I'm positive that's not him, they do look kind of similar though, don't they? xD

  • I read that book in 7.5 hours and didn't stop for anything. I also got a signed copy. And cried like a baby when it was over.

  • So, I started here, when Hazel Grace brought me to you. I then worked my way back through the last five years of your lives. For me it's been only about 16 hours (over a few weeks), but seeing you evolve, succeed, and love embarrassingly, has been a study in awesomeness.

    I came to Nerdfighteria late, but I am grateful for all you do for the community and the world.

    DFTBA and Thank You.

  • Prefect story proud of you for writing and it was a privilege to read

  • This novel made me feel a multitude of emotions. I thought Looking for Alaska did that for me but TFiOS made me emotional on a whole new level. It was quirky, funny, informative, sad, and incredible. It means so much to me I don't think I can even let anyone borrow it haha. Thank you John. TFiOS truly made me happy to be apart of Nerdfighteria.

  • What's really amazing, John, is that if you type "the fa" into google, the third suggestion is "the fault in our stars"

  • I got the last copy left in the whole bookshop where I bought TFiOS from, and I found out it was signed! I was so happy and it took me about 7 hours to read, loved it.

  • Unfortunately I only just got round to reading the book today and good god am I glad I did.

    Because of recently being diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome I was so focused on being logical, detatched, unimaginative and basically focusing on what the wikipedia page said that I completely lost interest in fiction for a while.

    Your book revived my interest and for that, I cannot thank you enough.

    DFTBA

    PS: Sorry for the overly-autobiographical comment.

  • I read TFiOS in a few hours...and I laughed and cried! :D Also, most of what they were talking about was way over my head, but oh well! XD I STILL LOVED IT! :D

  • *Looks at tags* I knew I recognized that escalator.

  • @anaceoghearts and I thought it was just me who teared up. I didn't the first time but after I read the book and re-watched this it definitely got the waterworks going

  • I still freak out over the fact that I'm in the montage.

  • TFiOs is my first time reading a John Green novel, but the I will be reading the rest of his books very shortly. I reacted to this novel similarly to the way I reacted to the end of Mocking Jay. Embarrassing, but I wouldn't trade the experience for anything. Thank you John Green. :)

  • I may have teared up during the Nerdfighter montage

  • Ashamed to say TFioS my first John Green novel experience. But have no fear, Looking for Alaska and An Abundance of Katherines are on their way!

  • Dear John... I finished your book.. love it... but you seemed to use the word vague like 50+ times

  • I love that you put clips from other people's videos in this! Seeing my friend at 00:10 was a great suprise :)

  • Got 2 copies of The Fault In our Stars. Heck yes.

  • Buy The Fault in Our Stars [Hardcover] John Green (Author)

    Click link amazon.com/dp/0525478817/?t­ag­­=test0a04-20

    Despite the tumor-shrinking medical miracle that has bought her a few years, Hazel has never been anything but terminal, her final chapter inscribed upon diagnosis. But when a gorgeous plot twist named Augustus Waters suddenly appears at Cancer Kid Support Group, Hazel’s story is about to be completely rewritten.

  • I'm still so happy about the date this fantastic book came out, just in time to be my YA novel for my book report. :D

  • Loved this book so much! Read it so fast! Definitely his best book if you ask me (although embarrassingly enough there's still one I haven't read... but I will adjust that as soon as I can!)

  • I just realized something. Everyone in this video is a girl...Am I the ONLY GUY who read and LOVES this book?

  • @Kzar5678 NOPE.

  • @tolkienreadsmymind Oh good. I was afraid I was alone on that one lol.

  • I got my book 2 weeks after it was release (because Amazon held it on backorder) and FINALLY i got 5 days ago and IT WASNT SIGNED!! ='( I am very sad, both from the lack of signature and from the book itself. This is the FIRST book that almost made me cry.

    Thanks, John.

  • It came today.

    I thought I would jump and scream. But I didn't. I just sat there, staring at the book and my J scribble. Just holding it has taken my breath away.

    It is unbelievably beautiful. Thank you so much for this John.. People say how amazing it is to find a good book, but this is different. This book changes lives. You are one incredible, beautiful person John Michael Green xo Best Wishes

  • dang...i kinda feel left out of the tfios thing. i wish i had preordered it grr...

  • @wilberforce95 If you've read the book or at least want to be in the TFIOS thing, let me assure you, you already are :)

  • I wasn't sure I was going to get a signed copy, because of Amazon payment issues, and then I got mine and it was Hanklerfished and I screamed :')

  • I just got TFiOS from my local bookstore today, and it has the J-scribble!! I can't stop smiling!!!! :D

  • thank you so much for putting on a awesome tour had so much fun in portland OR with you guys and thanks john for signing it again and thanks hank for signing mine and giving me a hankler fish on the tour i love you guys and thanks for another great book - a big fan and nerd fighter

  • Best good morning ever? :D

  • So what happened to the nerd caches?

  • Hey there John and Hank and people of the interwebs!

    I'm a new Nerdfighter from Britain and have jsut started on YouTube and I am just trying to publicise my videos at the mo. Could you guys thumb this comment and be totally awesome!

    Much love guys and DFTBA!

  • "I can't say this to you in person, because, you know...we're brothers..."

  • I'm sad I didn't get my book early enough to be in this video

  • I still need to finish "Looking For Alaska" before I read "The Fault in Our Stars" and it's killing me!!!!

  • I got The Fault In Our Stars TODAY!!! Its beautyful! John you have done somthing amazig for all Nerdfighters im on chapter 2 =D

  • Love the music choice! Hoping I can see you guys on Monday in Seattle!

  • Got a signed copy on Sunday in Walmart. Loved it and so did my girlfriend

  • FOREVER YOURS!!!!

  • MY BOOK ARRIVED TODAY!!!!! I live in Estonia, Europe, so that is why it took so long to arrive but it finally did arrive and is signed and I'm very happy! And it arrived much earlier than expected. Amazon thought it may arrive at 14th February :-) but it arrived on 27th January, so that is great!

  • I'm super nervous that I may not get my book. I pre-ordered it MONTHS ago, and I don't remember if I had the shipping address to my apartment in FL or my home in PA. Now that I graduated college I moved back to PA. I was charged for the book, so it must have been sent, I just hope my old apartment complex forwards it to me. Still haven't recieved it.

  • Gahh! I finished this book the day I got it. My boyfriend picked me up from school and told me that he had bad news and automatically I thought "Oh...my book didn't come..." And then he was all "It doesn't have a hankler fish" And then handed it to me, and I kissed him so many times because I was holding the BEST book I have ever read which was also signed by the most fantastic person in the whole world and I opened it and barely spoke to him for most of the rest of the day. Thank you John...

  • my shop was out of stock :(

  • I just finished TFiOS and I am amazed. Such a touching, wonderful, relatable book. I must say, one of the best parts of reading it was discovering that the book references "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock." Do you know the feeling of having read and studied a poem that you later see used in a book? It's an amazing feeling.

  • Mine was on preorder.. Mine.. Mine wasn't signed.. WHY WASN'T MINE SIGNED?

  • Just finished the book!!! It was great. Thank you for writing it.

  • i really loved this book, thank you for yet again writing something to incredible, i literally didnt put it down as soon as it was in my hands. its perfect :)

  • GREAT, THANKS john. you have now ruined the entire male population for all your female readers because there is no way augustus waters will exist for us. are you happy?

    you should be, though. i have never read a book so real and amazing. :)

  • I still haven't gotten mine... still pretty anxious to read it 8((

  • should this be allowed to say?

    To see if you are allowed to say DFTBA.... You should only be able to say that if you understand a lot of nerdfighter vocab, and whatnot. You obviously did not pass the test. so you are not a true nerdfighter

  • I know this book will be great, because I did a happy dance when it arrived, even though I didn't know I had one. (:

  • OHMYGOD my picture was in this!

  • awesome!!

  • I already have mine! It's signed in Green. Very awesome. I'm in the Philippines!

  • I WANT IT!!! but its still on the way, AND ITS SIGNED ;)

    

  • How much money do I have to pay to reach the level of nerdfighterdom in which my lips don't have to match up to the words coming out of my mouth?

  • My copy of The Fault In Our Stars came earlier in the mail today, I just finished and it was amazing and beautiful

  • I got mine in the mail today! And I'm in Australia! It's signed in blue :)

  • @lollymarbles Mine came today too! I just finished, my copy is signed in blue too :)

  • @TheRabidPandaPark cool :)

  • "No, you can't be here for this."

    "BYE."

  • I finished TFiOS yesterday. It was truly fantastic. I can't thank you enough, John. You had me in tears at several points in the book, and laughing at several others. I feel like Hazel, Augustus, Isaac, and everyone else are my friends, and that is a sign of a truly fantastic novelist. I'm doing a speech on it to my English class tomorrow for my assessment, since I loved it so much. Well done, John, and thank you.

  • I went on the day to Barnes and Noble, and even though I was excited to get the book, it wasn't the experience I would have liked. The weather and service was something to be desired, but once I had your book, I felt a relief that made everything better. By the way, I got a red signature!

  • John, I absolutely adored the book! It was one of the most amazing books I have ever read! Thank you for being an author, and thank you for giving hope to so many people that humanity and caring isn't lost! Please write another book soon! :)

  • You used Alex Day's song!! :D kudos to you!!

  • That girl in the beginning looks like Taylor Swift...

    Also, as I have the book on my kindle, it couldn't be signed :( but I still cried.

  • So I got my book yesterday. My mum and I have agreed on me not reading the book yet, as I have exams the next week. I'm supposed to study now, but I just wanted to say that I did hold the copy in my hands, say the signature and flipped the hell out, my mum almost told me I could just read it because I was so happy... I haven't even read it yet, but I want to thank you already for signing it, never thought the book would get to the Netherlands so quickly!

  • I just ordered tfios yesterday! Can't wait for it to come in! DFTBA :D

  • i read the book in one day... it was addicting

  • I wish i would have video taped my opening of the book. my mom tossed the box on the couch and i almost fell of the other couch and grabbed it and tried to rip the box open, but it didnt work so i was like "ill just open it the way it should be opened" lol and i took a picture of the signature and put it as the background of my phone and almost started crying. i was like "J- SCRIBBLE!!!"

  • why did this video make me cry? :')

  • I love how Forever Yours is playing in the background. :]

  • My preorder was unsigned, which was sad. The book was amazing though.

  • @CalledInSickAgain Well, watch this video from John,

    v=g_FzrUXOZEc&feature=g-user-u­&context=G282a1f4UCGXQYbcTJ33Z­kJSMd1dyoGGr7wX7PtyWGl3FCtcWRh­vM

    (just copy and paste the above link in the place of the v in the URL)... he addresses this issue around 1:40

  • I got my copy today. Very late, 'cause I'm overseas, but I just started to jump up and down. It was signed. I screamed. I read the book in the time frame of 3 to 4 hours. It was amazing. John is an amazing writer.

    It was just so amazing.

  • I waited in anticipation for this wonderful book that i am proud to say is now in my top three favorite books. its an emotional roller coaster that I loved riding and am bound to do it again soon. I felt love,joy,pain and sorrow all in a seemingly small amount of time you are a truly great writer John Green and i thank you for this masterfully written wonderful book.

  • First of all, this book is the first book I have bought to read for pleasure, so woot. Second, I am quite thankful for the ability to buy and read the book. Thank you John and Hank!!!!

  • okaaay

    1.) FOREVER YOURS BY ALEX DAY FTW

    and 2.) D: i want a signed one

  • celebrate TFIOS hitting #1 on the NYT Bestsellers list by tweeting #TeamDebbie to help 3 nerdfighter girls win $10K for cancer research! Vote up if you love nerds and you hate cancer!

  • Just got mah TFIOS copy! And I am the 5%! HANKLERFISH!!!

  • i feel stupid for not knowing what the book is about

    

  • My Amazon order got screwed up when I preordered it. :( So I went to Barnes & Noble, totally not expecting to get a signed copy, and bought the very last one there. SO HAPPY. Red J-scribble!

  • i got green which is what i voted for :) i really wanted a hankler fish. i wonder who got 'the last one?'

  • The theme tune is great! Alex Day Forever yours,

  • It really is a very good book. And it was signed - and it came from Amazon UK - I know I'm a lucky girl.... though now i'm jealous about this bookplate biz. Thank you John (and Hank for just being awesome) :)

  • Proof of teleportation: 0:54

  • Comment removed

  • Wow... I cried during the montage. Ugh. John why do you do this to me?! You too, Hank.

  • Finished it in a day!! Part of the blue sharpie group!! Anyone get a yeti or a hankler fish???

  • J squiggle in red :D

    Gonna start reading immediately!

  • I got home from school today and there was a package on my bed :) It finaly came and with a hanklerfish :D

  • Congrats on putting ad in pandora for tfios... At least there's one good as compared to the crappy dating sites.

  • I´ll have to wait a month to get it ),:

  • Arrrgh, this makes me even more impatient! Why, oh why does it take a whole month to ship to Europe? At least I know that it's worth the wait. (:

  • @thatsXlife im in europe and i have mine for a week??

  • @sextonkid101 That's probably because you've ordered it from amazon UK. Amazon UK and US are stupid and for some reason don't cooperate with each other which makes stupid stuff happen, like if you live in the middle of Europe they ship you the order from Delaware and take 40 days instead of shipping it from the UK. Which is fair enough, because it's our mistake for ordering it on .com, but still.

  • @sextonkid101 Yeah, it's strange, because even though I got an email saying it would arrive in the first week of February, about a day after I posted my comment, the book was delivered.. Very happy about it, though!

  • @thatsXlife I have to wait a month too! I'm in australia

  • @faceofboewearingafez I got mine from Amazon today, I'm in Melbourne

  • @faceofboewearingafez Well, I'm happy to report the book has arrived, so maybe you won't have to wait that long either! (:

  • @thatsXlife kindle version ? then you can read it on your pc/tablet/...kindle hehe or if you are a purist i get the wait....but i live in South Africa and i would have finished building a second Giza pyramid if I had to wait for it to ship over here so I kindled it an read it on my iPad

  • Am I the only one who was quietly singing along to Forever Yours?

  • Hmmm, I ordered mine months ago from Amazon Canada. It just arrived and it isn't signed. After watching John sign thousands of copies over countless episodes - that kind of sucks! Still looking forward to reading it, though.

  • So upset at amazon screwing me over. I should have mine tomorrow or friday. If its not signed I will cry!

  • I GOT PURPLE

  • This made my day.

  • GOT MY COPY!!!!!!! AND SIGNED IN GREEN:)!! I was freaking excited and my mom was just like "it's a stupid book calm down" and I was like "NO IT'S NOT MOM!! IT'S A WORK OF ART!!!!!"

  • I HAVE IT SIIIIIGGGNNNEEEDD!!!!!!! :D

  • @EatYourPants9 I got ordered mine off of Amazon

  • @lomsb I did too and I got it today but it wasn't signed :(

  • I JUST GOT MY COPY!!! Although it doesn't have a Hankler Fish or a Yeti I still am sooooo happy!!!! I screamed when I saw the purple J-scribble!!!!

  • @lomsb Where did you order your copy? I got my copy too but it wasn't signed.

  • MINE HASN'T FUCKING ARRIVED YET ;( ;( ;(

  • I hope you all DO get an island to yourselves, then you could put up a great wall just like china. look what that did to them! Get your own internet, after all you're all superior and "made of awesome." Yeah, the Nazis thought that kind of pridefull bullshit too. Hell they gave to charity, until they got so powerful that they thought they could actually FORCE their ideals onto others. too much of anything is bad. Even nerdfighteria.

  • I JUST GOT MINE HERE IN DUBAI!

    GONNA READ THE CRAP OUT OF IT BRB

  • Is the book also in bookstores in the Netherlands?

  • I absolutely cannot wait until I meet you guys Friday! I think I'll explode!

  • My book was not hanklerfished. I was only briefly sad. Haa.

  • My face at 0:22 ^_^ I've never been more glad that I did my hair before filming a video before XD

  • 0:47 Having a sibling in a nutshell :'D

    Cant wait to read the book ~ ♪

  • I get chill bumps every time I watch this. which now is like the 50th time.

  • Dear John,

    YOU HAVE DESTROYED ALL OF MY EXPECTATIONS FOR EVERY BOOK I WILL EVER READ AGAIN BECAUSE OF TFIOS. It's such an amazing book. Thank you.

    Love, the Nerdfighter community.

  • Walmart is selling signed copies. This is an outrage!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Insert giant squid of anger)

  • I got TFiOS today... someone bought all the green covered ones on the 10th, and there were no hanklerfish or yetis, people have been Hanklerfishing pretty heavy in my city

  • Noticing a trend here... this book is being read largely by teenage girls. John... write a MANLY book. Just sayin'.

  • Best book ever hope it never ends

  • 'This is a two hand job....agh...' Brilliance!!!

  • I WENT TO BARNS AND NOBLE'S IN THE CITY NOT EXPECTING IT TO BE SIGNED AT ALL. BUT IT WASS :D MY HAPPINESS COULD NOT BE EXPRESSED IN WORDS <3

  • @Imallwrite212 he just said that all copies would be signed about 10,000 times... and linked to a website telling us that.... and documented himself signing them for months... how could you have known? -______________-

  • @Unanimous97 mine wasnt singed :/

    

  • @sextonkid101 O_O THIS IS BLASPHEMY!!! :P Just email john at sparksflyup-at-gmail-dot-com with your name, address, and where you ordered the book from, and a very rare signed bookplate will be sent to you. Problem solved!

  • $%YEJWSRGWEARFD. I SEE MY FRIEND!

  • Guys! I just opened my box I got in the mail and I found out that my book was signed!!! (I just regularly ordered from Barnes & Noble, I didn't pre-order it) I saw the sticker on the front the said "signed copy" and I saw the J squiggle. I said "FRENCH THE LLAMA!" and jumped up and down. Made my day :)

  • I bought my copy from my local bookshop this morning and i've just finished it twelve hours later. I've never read a book this quickly. That alone is the best recommendation I can give as without John's way with words I am unable to praise it enough. Thank you Mr Green.

  • I can't wait for my copy to arrive!!!! Except it's getting sent to my mums house, and I live in the outback where we get post once a week, so it could be a while! :(

  • I didn't get a hanklerfish or a yeti... :(

    But I DID get a RED signature! :D Woot!

  • so much d'awwww at the end. Hank and John, and all of nerdfighteria, you are what's right about the human race. sadly, I don't have a copy of TFiOS yet, so I can't comment on the book itself. ...to the bookstore!

  • Curse my forgetfulness i why didn't i ask for it for christmas

  • John, your book was amazing. I loved it, even though it made me sad. To me the mark of a good book is that it gives you a wide range of emotions.

  • Just finished TFiOS last night and omg. John you have an amazing talent, thank you for righting this book. It had me in tears and laughing at the same time. I can't say enough good things about it. Thank you. DFTBA!

  • @bctaylor90 writing*...wow lol

  • My friend is reading TFiOS right now, and its her first John Green book.

    She's confused because she thinks the Amsterdam in question is Amsterdam, Colorado...

  • I'll get my copy in like three weeks... And then I'll read it in one go!

  • I wish I recorded me opening it I got it today when I came home from school screamed and ripped it open... yeah I'm glad I didn't record it now

  • Congratulations on standing on the right side of the metro escalator. Major accomplishment - no joke :)

  • I really want to go to the tour but I don't know anyone who is going or have someone good to go with:( Should I still go anyways? I don't want to be all alone awkwardly...

  • @bellabellabelladance Go anyway, all of Nerdfighteria will be there, you won't be alone.

  • @bellabellabelladance Go anyway! You will be amongst Nerdfighters! Go and enjoy it for those of us who live too far away to make it to any of the tour stops! :)

  • @bellabellabelladance Go! Go! Go! Go for all of us who can't! :)

  • Where were you during this video?

  • crying

  • John this book was amazing <3<3 also i would like to say i flipped out when my uncle told me you replied to his tweet about me, the one where he said his niece was reading all of your book. i almost cried i was so excited, also a tiny bit jealous of him xD <3<3

  • Hey fellow nerdfighters, I'm a senior in high school and have started making vlogs (all too similar to vlogbrothers, but they say imitation is the best form of flattery) due to my senioritis. If you guys could support me with a few views, I'd really appreciate it. Helpful criticism wouldn't be minded either (especially from you, if John or Hank is reading this). Thanks!

  • Im just wondering, is this song alex day forever yours, it sounds like a remix version of it
