Reason One: He writes realistically. He is not afraid to write about the facts of life which in includes a LOT of death...sob. Also his stories are about normal people living normal lives and how they deal with their own reality.
Reason Two: He realized that we are not idiots. Although we may not be the wisest of people, teenagers/young adults are smarter then we are given credit for. And John Green doesn't choose to dumb down a story.
Reason Three: He understands how teens/young adults exist. He is so accurate with how teens interact, think, and talk while still creating a diverse, complex, and deep character personalities.
Reason Four: He isn't pretentious. His writing is unique and modern. He also doesn't just sit in his parlor all day, smoke a pipe, and refuse to interact with the "common folk". He has a YouTube channel for goodness sake!
Reason Five: His books are the paper personification of the human condition...he understands us and can put it into words and words into phrases and that somehow=life...genius.

She didn't even glance at me. She just smiled toward the television and said, 'You never get me. Thats the whole point."
