  • "<3 weeks away from sharing it", huh?

  • I had just started out as a Nerdfighter about 3 weeks ago and I happened to scroll down on a video and noticed a spoiler for TFiOS, which I had not yet read or even picked up a copy. I was super annoyed but then realized I could still enjoy the story even though I knew what would happen. I ended up falling just as hard for the characters even though I knew a big detail about the story.

    But I'm still a bit of a giant squid of anger when I think about that spoiler though.

  • I love your hair.... :D

  • BOOMER... WILL LIVE.

  • Comment removed

  • didn't see many spoilers but in january 1st I did find the whole book available for free download (not the legal kind obviously), so.... yeah

  • @DollyMausDeux in a few forums, a few common internet sites, some searchers and by now they have them in a few langs other than english.

  • Will this book be available in Poland?

  • Frank Iero won World's Sexiest Vegetarian in 2008... For some reason I Googled that during this video and thought I would share it.

  • I am always so careful not to get spoiled for anything but always get spoiled anyway ... I hate that 

  • I remember when my sister ruined a book for me. I'm an only child now. Kidding, kidding...

    She just can't READ anymore...

  • I just ordered all of of Johns books in B&N can't wait.

  • this isnot a spoiler but the book is brilliant

  • looking for alaska is like my favorite book!! cant wait to read tfios

  • Quick question (Yes, I´m a smartass): Isn´t the chapter structure in Looking for Alaska kind of a spoiler?

  • @Gruener16590

    No, it's a suspense technique.

  • My brother just finished TFiOS, and I'm bringing my sister my copy when I see her on Sunday. In short order, I shall have more people to whom I can squee over TFiOS!

  • i just started reading Looking for Alaska a couple days ago...

  • Darth Vader is Luke's father, Snape kills Dumbledore and they simply walk into Mordor.

  • @bananachip33 the snake Harry freed in the first movie was the second to last horcrux. *mind blown*

  • SPOILER ALERT!

    HARRY'S A WIZARD.

  • John... your hair does amazingly fantastic things. c:

  • looking for alaska needs to be a movie....shawna...aka nanalew should play Alaska

  • Dumbledore dies.

  • Spoiler Alert!  John Green is capitol-A Awesome!

    Wait, you already knew that?....

  • i bought a signed copy from waterstones today :D

  • Dear John (tee-hee, punny),

    First of all, January 10th, ohmygod. I can't believe I just noticed that.

    Second, TFiOS was orgasmic, i cried the last thirty pages, a lot.

    Third, I sobbed during Looking For Alaska, too.

    John, you're a freaking awesome author.

    Tha's all I have to say(:<3

    DTFBA.

  • Your video space always looks so clean and tidy. I wish my white things always looked so clean. All my white things always end up with stains.

  • OKAY SO IN THE BOOK - There's people, and they do stuff, and then it ends. ("it" of course refers to the book itself, not anything in the book.)

  • I got mine early, but I still haven't read it because I wanted to read Looking for Alaska again, but I had to read a book for my schools library to make sure a kid could read it and then I had to read Darren Shan because I wanted to, end off :) I will get round to it :) the cover looks awesome and I'm so happy I got the fish doodle thingy :)

  • @MissNicolaPie which Darren Shan book? He's such a great author. (:

  • @haleykrunk I started again with his saga of Darren Shan, so Cirque du freak and on wards :)... did you watch the film version? (fairly disappointed :[ )

  • @MissNicolaPie i love that series! but yes, the film was equal to A:TLA. Both terrible and disappointing. ):

  • the hamster dies

  • @ZachJamesFriend oh god, i geniuinly didnt get to that part yet </3

  • @stoabler genuinely*

  • @ZachJamesFriend Her friend adopts it silly!

  • Today I was sit in class in the middle of english oral-review for the romeo and Juliet quiz on friday. the teacher calls on a kid across the room to answer the question. what did juliet call out when she saw romeo dagger laying on the floor. I glance at the kid she call on with my hand raised hoping the teacher would call on me. then I see the kid behind him with a book in his hand with the glare on the book i ask is that looking for alaska. after about a week of checking the library daily. 

  • @onex1864 i had found the only john green book i haven't read. then I said is that looking for alaska. then the teacher call on me then she said no that not anything close to what she said and the class laughed but that matter now because I now know where to find the book.

  • I read Looking for Alaska last week. It was amazing! I literally read it in a matter of hours because I could not put it down. I liked it so much I went out and bought An Abundance of Katherines, Paper Towns and The Fault in Our Stars. Your writing is truly amazing and, John Green, you are now one of my very favorite authors. Thanks for writing such awesome novels!

  • I was one of the people who got the book early. I opened it and decided not to read it...it is now almost January 30 and I still have not read the book for fear of ruining it and the amazing J scribble!....I need another copy!

  • I am a new Nerdfighter from Britain trying to promote my comedy channel to the awesome nerdfighters out there. So if you got some free time for a laugh come on over and have a watch :) Please thumb this comment up if you are reading it too

    Thanks John and Hank! :) DFTBA

  • Spoiler alert!

    Snape kills Dumbledore.

  • do you ever blink!?

  • *SPOILERS* the book is the most beautiful thing that you will ever read

  • Unfortunately by saying there will be big spoilers makes you pretty sure what is going to happen.

  • I got mine early, i would have responded earlier but i have not had access to youtube for the past month. Mine is blue and the book smells soooo good.

  • It's amazing what a community will do for each other and the fact that people actually waited until January 10th despite having got the book early is like me getting a game before its release date and not playing it until it is officially released for all because of my dedication to a company close to heart. And that is dedicated brilliance! I am proud to be part of this!

  • I tried Google Image 'Augustus Waters' to see people's suggestion of who can play him and BAM HUGE FOTHERMUCKING SPOILER in the suggestion. I. HATE. MY. LIFE.

  • I just finished that beautiful book...my eyes are sore from all the tears I have shed. :'( LOL

  • This is why I don't even go online when I'm part way through a book! Or tumblr/google books I haven't read yet!

  • My boyfriend doesn't read any fiction, he prefers non-fiction.

    BUT I ACCIDENTALLY SPOILED THE BOOK FOR HIM.

    I'M SORRY.

    Nerdfighters, you may punish me.

  • Just got mine today. Let me just say, IM VERY VERY EXCITED

  • SPOILER ALERT:

    the book is absolutely amazing.

  • Oh the trouble of not being allowed to order anything from the Internet and living in Australia. JOHN GREEN Y U NO LIVE IN AUSTRALIA!? -.-

  • @miekka968 I live in Australia and had that problem, too! Read the Spectrum (or whatever your area equivalent is) it has an interview and review. And some bookstores (mostly independent ones) have it.

  • I just got my book today, I preorderd it so I don't why it's so late but whatever. At least I get too read it now =]

    I was jumping around 'cause I was so happy and my dad asked what was wrong with me and I told him a signed copy of John Greens TFIOS just got here today. He didn't know who you were so it didn't make sence to him...

  • will my copy of TFIOS be signed?? j/j

  • ordered fault in our stars and looking for Alaska!

  • Just finished TFIOS and I wanted to thank my fellow nerdfighters for not spoiling such a beautifully poignant book. Right now I'm trying to soak it all in, but how does one address the thoughts that this book creates? By watching vlogbrothers videos, of course!!

  • Comment removed

  • i got my book on the 12th! live in the UK

  • sing-a-ma-jigs freak me out!

  • I only read up to the third or fourth Harry Potter book, and managed to not find out anything that happens in the subsequent books until I saw the final film in the Cinema. I was pretty impressed with myself :)

  • was not expecting the very end but ADORABLE.

  • sing-a-ma-jigs r awesome!

  • i have the book and i LOVE it!!!!!!!! thanks for signing it!!!

  • So, I finished TFiOS last night. I can now feel comfortable scrolling down the comment section on this video.

  • SPOILERALERT

    SNAPE KILLS DUMBLEDORE.

  • @OoOImWithCrazyOoO god-dammit, I was going to say that D:

  • I received my copy of this book early and took it as a blessing in disguise. I left for Japan on the 4th of January to live there for 4 months(IT'S AMAZING HERE BTW) and wouldn't of had this when it came out on the 10th. The fact that it got sent to me early gave me the opportunity to take it with me on the plane and read it there(14hr flight=1 happy reader) and I held back from all online commenting of anything even this until now. I'm happy at my luck in its early release! DFTBA!

  • Nerdfighteria is always an A1 community, even when someone poops in urinal

  • My copy came in the mail today. I was expecting to open a textbook, and literally squealed when I saw the blue cover.

  • My friend got her book this week and she said to me;

    "Freya, would you like to stroke the autograph of John green?"

    I said;

    "Yes. Yes I would."

    So I did.

  • @ultamatefrogmaster You have an awesome name!

  • @ahughestv Thank you :D

  • @ultamatefrogmaster are you the same Freya who commented on Alex Day's Houses video about that really funnny twilight joke? If so, props.

  • You are talking way to fast O.o i got lost after the first minute :(

  • i was opening up textbooks, feeling glum, i opened this book and was pleasantly surprised

  • you are gonna pull your hair out!

  • Sean and Kim? NOWAI.

  • Everyone dies

  • Comment removed

  • I know how it ends "."

  • *rocks back and forth* I want my book, I want my book, I want my book, I WANT MY BOOOOOOK!! >_O So excited!!! *pant*

  • I almost got one of the early copies. But I wasn't expecting it and there was no money in my bank! x_x I was so confused when they tried to charge me in the middle of December. xD

    Strangest part is now my real preorder still hasn't arrived. o_O

  • O crap! That explains why I got my book on the 23rd of December(complete with purple John Green squiggle!). I post no spoilers! But it's awwwwwwesome. And we all saw that coming :D

  • Dear Nerdfighters...why are you reading this...go read! its January 10th!

  • I think you very well may have some of the most loyal and caring fans in the world, and this makes me so proud to be a nerdfighter.

  • I have a rare unsigned first edition copy of 'The Fault in Our Stars'!

  • Today in my mail: "Your Amazon.com order of "The Fault in Our Stars" has shipped!‏"

  • My friend got one of the leaked books over two weeks ago. She is waiting till midnight tonight to start. I definitely admire her strength I'm not sure I could have done it.

  • I got my copy and it has a Hankler Fish in it!

  • @dicummins YOU LUCKY CUNT.

  • @dicummins you lucky son of a duck. I'm jealous.

    (haven't gotten mine yet, I preordered it from amazon)

  • I will be soooooooooo pissed if the hanklefished yetied one is in the early accidental release. There Will be NO SUSPENSE!!!!!!!!!

  • <3 weeks

    ^ get it. it's like a heart

  • I got mine today too, it haz a green signature! and I'm so tempted to read it but, it shall wait for 7 hrs.

  • I too received my copy today, checked the signature (hanklerfish!) and now it shall cease to exist till tomorrow. DFTBA!

  • @jeffersonbenson you lucky son of a duck. I'm jealous. Again.

    (someone else also left a comment about their hanklerfished book.)

  • I plan on reading The Fault In Our Pants at a much later date.

  • Hey John, loyal fan here. Just wanted you to know I got 2 pre orders ordered for myself. One from Amazon.ca and one from Amazon.com. I really had to make sure I got a signed copy so I ordered from both of the sites. And as an update I just called Coles (Canadian Barnes and Noble) and they're going to have 6 copies in tomorrow, so I'm gonna up up early in anticipation for the book. Thank you so much for being an amazing author, person and friend to the nerdfighter community. We truly care. DFTBA.

  • I got my copy today, 1 day early. Opened it just to see what signature I got (green) but now I'm putting it back on my shelf until tomorrow.

  • I picked a copy up today. It had a Hanklerfish! But, I'm waiting until the 10th to read it even though the anticipation is killing me.

  • (SPOILER!)... She takes an arrow to the knee

  • DONNIE DARKO DIES

  • DARTH VADER IS LUKE'S FATHER!

  • John, just wanted to let you know that I've been debating buying the fault in our stars for like a month now, and I've finally done it. I'm not entirely comfortable with buying things online but I made an Amazon account and put one of my credit card numbers on the internet just for you. Hopefully that means something.

  • Hello John. I'm new to the Vlog Brothers but have find much delight in watching you and your brother communicate with each other via YouTube. I also wanted you to know that until you held up that copy of the book, I thought the title was "The Faulkner Stars" and was a story about a quirky starship captain and his small crew, which includes a rather peculiar android with no memory and a dog named pip, and their misadventures in finding the fabled "Faulkner Stars".

  • @Kid0the0syd Whatever he's on, I'll have two.

  • I got back from vacation yesterday and waiting in my apartment was The Fault in Our Stars. I will not read it until the 10th even though I have been so excited to get home and open up the book.... which I did do for the record and can honestly say that I have been hankler fish'd.... The book is waiting in the first spot on my "to read" shelf. 2 dayyysss!!!

  • I really, really wanted to wait until The Special Date of January Tenth to read it. But I just couldn't, I'm sorry. I couldn't help but read it in the voice of John. It made it even more awesome. :D

  • John (and Hank), Nerdfighteria doesn't only care about your books and each other. We care about you, too! And we know how much work you put into TFioS, and we don't want to ruin the writing experience for you, either. :)

  • I pre-ordered my book online and have not yet received it thank goodness. However I have noticed that my local book store says they have 41 copies at one store and 8 at the other. This book release seems to have gone terribly wrong and I hope people will wait to read it as you have asked.

  • I tried to wait until the 10th to read TFiOS, but I caved on Thursday. I read the book in two days. It was so good, I couldn't put it down.

  • Also, i got Paper Towns and An Abundance of Katherines for Christmas, I'm a slow reader, when i say slow i mean S.L.O.W. for example I've been reading the very same book for 5 years, no exaggeration. Yet, when it comes to these 2 books i recieved (I also got A Primer Type - suggested by Karen Kavett) I read Paper Towns in 3 days, i mean i didn't even put the book away during Christmas Dinner, and well usually I'm absorbed by food [not litterally - that would be weird]. And I read AAOK in 5 days.

  • Yeah! I agree! Spoilers are stupid, and the Internet is the worst at keeping secrets!

  • Comment removed

  • When i pre-ordered TiFOS on amazon it said it was going to be released on the 9th of January. Was it wrong? ;o

  • I will blame you, John Green, for when my English grade falls after I receive TFiOS and ultimately read that instead of The Odyssey.

  • @noosaho I hate that sentence SO much. When that book came out, I was at the midnight release. It's was three a.m. when I got home, and I read the first chapter or so, took a break to get online, and I was someone posted in all caps as a forum title, "SNAPE KILLS DUMBLEDORE." They ruined the end before I'd had the book for two hours. :/

  • @Linneamify *and I was devastated when someone posted

    (My fingers left out two words...)

  • @Linneamify my "friend" ruined it for me. I still don't talk to him

  • @NBinder114 That would absolutely break my heart... At least mine was some random butthead from lands afar... For a friend to do it against one's will... Gr.

    People who spoil books should be locked up together in the evil baby orphanage so the rest of us can read in peace.

  • @noosaho ASSHOLE!!!

  • I HAVE SPOILERS! In the book... stuff happens.

  • @Runnyscape20 Aww man! You ruined it!

  • My brother and I have an arrangement: My copy will be kept safely in New York until January tenth, 756 km away from where I live.

  • John should be a professional sing-a-ma-jig composer.

  • I didn't realize I got it early so I'm halfway thru, but I'm going to keep going because I am a middle school librarian with a few students who REALLY like your books and I want to be able to give it to them on Jan 10th. I love them and all, but I want to read it before them. :)

  • I CAN'T WAIT.. I'VE BEEN SOO EXCITED SINCE CHRISTMAS!!!!!! <3

  • sigh, I pre-ordered.....the e-book

    UGH, SOMEDAY, I will track you down John for you to sign my Nook...or maybe just paper

  • My books was send today.. Which means I might get it early.. by 1-3 days.

    Gonna have to bite me lips not to open the package if it comes before tuesday.

  • I preordered mine! =D I can't wait to read it... there will be a singamajig concert in my heart when I see the package. =D

  • TFIOS!! I can't believe I still haven't pre-ordered!! I haven't had an extra ten dollars to amazon it! Oh well- as long as I get the book eventually it doesn't matter if he signed it.

  • he was dead the whole time.

  • I saw 5 signed copies today in Chapters. I got extremely excited then I had to seriously restrain from buying one even though I already pre-ordered a copy. Can't wait to read it!!!

  • I'm asking all fellow nerdfighter's to help out another. My name is Devin St.Clare and i have recently started making youtube video's. My videos deal with book reviews and just random things that have been on my mind. I am humbling myself and asking friends and family to help spread my channel because i believe i can make a difference, just like the Greens do for me every video. I'm asking from the bottom of my heart for you guys to click on my name and give me a chance. DFTBA- St. Clare

  • i dont get it till the 13th D:

  • Dearest John and Hank,

    My friend surprised me and bought us tickets to the meet and greet on Jan. 26 in L.A. Today, we found out the we have finals on the 26th and 27th. Today is an Q8 day for me because i have been looking forward to it for weeks because we thought it was on the 27th, the friday after our tests. I wish my fault is in our stars had arrived.

  • I should have watched this before Christmas... then I would have known that I wasn't supposed to have gotten the book on Christmas morning... Oh well, I am not one to post spoilers anyway and there would have been no way I could have contained my excitement and curiosity... which is why half of Christmas day was spent reading the brilliant novel (that just so happens to be J-scribbled in my favorite color: blue). Since I can't un-read it, I just won't let my boyfriend read it until the 10th. :)

  • SNAPE KILLS DUMBLEDORE

  • I got my copy in the mail the other day but I'm waiting to read it because my friends didn't get their's yet.

  • @daydreambeliever09 lucky i haven't even got mine yet

  • Someone posted a Looking For Alaska spoiler (possibly the most important event in the book) and ruined it for me. It sucked.

  • I went into my fav book store the other day which I owned and employed by nerdfighters. They got the preorders and I was so close to crying because it looked so beautiful and they just put them behind the counter saying: "you know what john said not until the 10" or until the midnight release party they're having. Can't wait to read it but I got school the tenth ugh!!!

  • Spoiler alert! Snape kills Trinity with Rosebud!

  • My best friend preordered TFiOS for my birthday (which is, coincidentally, January 10). He moved to Montreal 4 days ago. There is no one at his house, and no one to pick up his mail. I fear I will never get my book. :(

  • @SarararaD He should be able to change the shipping address up to the day it ships. If nothing else, I would have him call the store it was preordered from.

  • @SarararaD Fellow nerdfighter in Montreal. Let me know if I can help in some....not sure how, but let me know anyways.

  • at least? AT LEAST!?!?! i better get mine EXACTLY on January 10th.

  • SPOILER ALERT: SNAPE KILLS DUMBLEDORE.

  • I just pre-ordered this book and I can't wait to read it when it comes out.

  • @vlogbrothers John, um,... how many hours after midnight on the 10th should we wait to discuss TFiOS? And what time zone constitutes it being the 10th?? xD

  • <3 weeks... :)

  • Oh, oops. Wish I would have seen this earlier. I didn't know the arrival of my copy was a mistake or I would have waited. But I didn't. I read it all within the first 8 hours after receiving it. I kind of feel bad now, but I'll just re-read it on January 10th. :)

  • I was saying go die to the spoilers, not to those who read John's books. Don't doubt your fellow nerdfighters.

  • dear John. for christmas i asked for 2 things looking for alaska and the fault in our stars. i read looking for Alaska in about 12 hours. amazing book. tear jerking to(yes im a man i dont care!) and i am really attached to it because i have felt trapped in the "labyrinth" and your book has helped me. and today i received my copy of the fault in our stars... im not going to read it even though my family doesn't understand i will wait until the 10th like you wished.

  • Ahoy any butthurt victims who didn't read my posting carefully - I haven't read the book. Ergo, I have no actual knowledge of the ending with which to spoil it. It was a joke only, like the spoilers about Dumbledore.

  • @AprilWaterston You're kidding, right? How would I know what happened at the end of the book? I said, I bet 50 bucks x happens. Which indicates I don't know. That's what a bet means - we put money on what might happen when we don't know.

  • @sugarpeepsez Ah okay, many apologies!

  • @AprilWaterston Oh, none needed!  I confused more than one person. Have to acknowledge that once again, I'm not nearly as witty as I think I am. :(
