The fault with THE FAULT IN OUR PANTS is the fault of the author who has written what I consider to be a very weak parody of THE FAULT IN OUR STARS by John Green - at least, that is what I thought after reading about 30% of the book and giving up on it. I like a good parody. The best parodies are of those that are about things that, in reality, are pretty awful. The problem, of course, is that I liked the book THE FAULT IN OUR STARS. So parodying something that is good just doesn't work for me. Maybe if the parodying was clever it might have worked. But what I read of the FAULT IN OUR PANTS is quite pathetic humour which essentially follows the storyline of the book and inserts what might be called schoolboy jokes every few lines. Not worth reading.

This is, honestly, the worst thing I've ever read.
oh yeah because jokes about child porn and the holocaust are soo funny and acceptable to make.. (its not).
The writing style is poor and scrappy with the humour of a problematic frat boy. Good parodies exist, ones which are funny, but this is not one of them.

I received this book for free via LibraryThing's Early Reviewers, and I'm so thankful I didn't spend money on this piece of garbage. This is easily the worst thing I've ever read. Oh, yeah, jokes about child porn and the Holocaust are SO HI-LARIOUS. The thing is, good parodies exist, genuinely funny ones, this is just not one of them by any means. It's vulgar for no reason (other than what I assume is the author's disgusting, immature frat boy sense of humor?) and makes a mockery out of a moving (and popular) book for easy money. Don't give this guy a cent.
