Honestly one of the most perfect books I've read. It's easy to read and keep reading and you fall in love with the characters instantly. You feel what they're feeling. It's definitely a book that will make you laugh and cry and feel empty when it's over.
Beautiful book.

Out of all the books I've read so far this year, this is one of my favorites. It's realistic. John Green has the ability to bring each reader into the novel, almost as if you are friends with the characters or watching this occur from some stand point not far away. He touches on a theme that many people can relate to, which brings the sympathetic reader the inability to put the book down until it is read from cover to cover.

My favourite book so far this year, funny, heartfelt, raw, emotional, beautiful, I can't even come up with good sufficient enough adjectives to describe this book.
LOVE LOVE LOVE

I purchased this book for my Kobo for what I thought would be a great afternoon read. I was very disappointed. I found the book geared to a much younger audience and found the only good thing about the book was the surprised ending.

Loved the perspective that the author chose to write from....Def a fad book but a book that everyone can learn from......

One of my favourite books I've ever read. Couldn't tear myself away from the book. All the hype really was backed up as soon as I read the book.

I really enjoyed this book, it wasn't the best book I've read but it's in the top 5 for sure. Id recommend it to anybody else that enjoys a sweet refreshing read.

A big "meh" for this book. I had read this book soon after it was released onto the market (not trying to be hipster or anything), and I thought it was okay. The story was not too compelling, it didn't have much staying power but it was nice. I felt that the only reason the book became such a popular hit and got turned into a movie (which I refuse to watch because of the ridiculous casting of Hazel Grace), was because John Green is a famous YouTuber, and producer etc. John Green is absolutely brilliant, but his other books are better. TFIOS did not engross me in any way.

Hazel has cancer- thyroid cancer which has her tethered to an oxygen tank. Augustus has cancer - osteosarcoma. They start talking. Connecting. Falling in love. They are normal teenagers defined by their diagnosis. I mean, they are as normal as they can be, they do have cancer. They've been dealt a really shitty hand and obviously the way they deal with things are going to be a little off. Augustus and Hazel both talk with such prose that it does seem unbelievable at times. I mean, it was like watching Dawson's Creek and having to read a dictionary after. But that is what makes it so great. These teenagers have had to deal with things I can't even fathom. They know life is precious, that death is a side effect of cancer.

I enjoy that the book talked about another book throughout it, basically being a supporting character. The book was so important to Hazel, and through Hazel it became important to Augustus. I think as book lovers this is a thing we all want. We want to share our love of the literary word to others, but at the same time we fear that they might not like it, that they might have a completely different viewpoint on the book that it wrecks it for us. The book just happens to based on cancer. And the book just ends. Mid sentence. Hazel has spent most of her free time writing the author trying to gain some closure. I think this is a horrifyingly beautiful metaphor. Think about it. They are in the exact same position as the book they love. Their life could just end. They know the world isn't a wish granting factory so they make the most of the time together.

Not exactly. I did see where people would burst out crying, and I admit I felt a few tears seep through. I'm actually surprised I didn't bawl my eyes out. Cancer is a thieving whore who should be shot. Cancer is a horrible thing and any mention of it in books, TV shows, movies...make me cry. Its a given. With The Fault in Our Stars, cancer is a main component in the telling of a love story. They wouldn't have come together if it wasn't for the bitch cancer. They wouldn't come apart if it wasn't for the bitch cancer either.

By not really knowing what this book was about I went into it with an open mind. John Green wrote the characters so profoundly that you connected with every single one. That is why the tears started. You felt their happiness, their pain, their loss. Hazel, Augustus, Isaac. Hazel's family. They all made you feel something. They all made you want a happier ending.

I do recommend this book to others. Go into it with an open mind. An understanding that it might tug at your emotional well being. The subject matter sucks but its a reality that most people, unfortunately, have to deal with.

This book was 'okay'.

My daughter, who's 15, introduced this book to me. She loved it and so did all her friends and knowing it was being turned into a movie I just had to read it. I loved it! It was an easy, fast read. It made me sad, laugh, and cry, very touching book. I would highly recommend this book to anyone, especially teenage girls!
