5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RHYWOKJTWTTTG?ASIN=014242417X	From a teen-age survivor	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I am not quite finished with the book, but so far, I think it is very well written. It covers a topic that is difficult to talk about and is often avoided. It has been challenging for me to get through; however, I feel like I should add my perspective. I was diagnosed with cancer at 10. I am now 15 years old and a teen-age cancer survivor. I am a volunteer and advocate for pediatric cancer awareness.<br/><br/>This book has gotten negative reviews based on several points:<br/>1) This is from another reviewer: ""The characters are not believable. They do not speak like teenagers. They do not even handle situations like teenagers do. So many interactions between Gus and Hazel are interactions which, plain and simple, just would not happen between real, emotional, scared, awkward, virgin teenagers, let alone ones with cancer who have been socially cut off for much of their lives.""<br/><br/>*My point-of-view: Have you spent time with any of us? They are believable as teen-age cancer patients/survivors. We may look like teen-agers, but in our heads, we are not. We have had to face our own mortality and make choices we should never have to make. It makes us grow up...quickly. Most of us do not act or speak like teen-agers because that is no longer how we think. After treatment, many of us find the things most teens (and sometimes adults) are worried about are trivial. Society cuts us off, but we are not cut off from each other. These types of interactions do happen. And, it is emotional and scary, but we learn to tell it like it is, without the normal fluff and awkwardness. We find 'normal' where we can and try to live every single day we have because we know that time is an illusion.<br/><br/>2) The parents are not real, not deep characters, and they do not have their own identities.<br/><br/>*My point-of-view: I have seen my own parents (and siblings) and the parents of other friends struggle with this. Many times, they do not have their own identities anymore. Every single minute is spent trying to make it to the next! They try to keep the family together and functioning, in spite of the effects of treatment, fevers and midnight trips to the emergency room, 3 weeks of the month spent in isolation, jobs in jeopardy, birthdays and holidays interrupted, not to mention talks that parents never want to have with their child. I've talked to my mom about this. This becomes their identity. My mom said their jobs become about doing whatever it takes, travelling all over the country (which is very common), researching new studies, and new medicines, all to help us survive and thrive with grace and dignity. It is also their job to prepare, if treatments don't work, to help us die with just as much grace and dignity.<br/><br/>I hope everyone can read this with an open mind and an open heart. Then, reach out to the patients and survivors in your communities. They are wise beyond their years, funny, brave and inspiring.</span>"

I'll make it simple; I'm a fifteen year old teenage boy. When I usually read a book, I toss it aside and move on to the next one. And, like most teenage boys, I am not very emotional. At the end of this book, I cried. Not just a few tears either; I was full on bawling my eyes out. That's how good this book is. I promise you, unless you have a heart of stone, you will love this book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2PKKF0DGZ7KB3?ASIN=014242417X	Young Adult Fiction at its finest	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Although his brother Hank might argue that the real ""fault in our stars"" is that our sun contains limited amounts of hydrogen, which will cause it to eventually run out of the only fuel source capable of supporting its mass against gravity, thereby expanding until its outer shell envelops our tiny planet and consumes it in a fiery death, I think it is more likely that John Green's title refers to a line from Shakespeare's Julius Caesar:<br/><br/>""The fault, dear Brutus is not in our stars, / But in ourselves, that we are underlings."" Caesar (I, ii, 140-141)<br/><br/>What does this quote mean and how does it relate to a novel about two kids dying of cancer?  I'll explore that below.<br/><br/>The Fault in Our Stars is the story of two 16-year-olds who meet at a cancer support group.  Hazel Lancaster, the narrator, is afflicted with terminal thyroid cancer which has ravaged her lungs enough to necessitate the use of an oxygen tank wherever she goes.  It is during a support meeting that she is introduced to Augustus Waters, whose leg was claimed by a malignant bone tumor and who soon becomes the object of her affection.<br/><br/>When I learned of the plot of this novel, I was initially a bit turned off.  I'm reminded of a comment a friend made when I asked her if she wanted to go see the movie <a class=""a-link-normal"" href=""/50-50/dp/B004QL7KKC"">50/50</a>, upon which she exclaimed ""who wants to go see a movie about people dying of cancer?""  I couldn't come up with a satisfactory response, and we settled for a two-hour movie about the competitive world of robot fighting (which still caused me to shed a tear).  So why would anyone, especially young adults, want to read about ""cancer kids?""  As Hazel herself states in the novel, ""cancer books suck.""  But ""The Fault in Our Stars"" isn't about cancer, and it's not about death.  Cancer is an important subject in the book, but it's not nearly as important as the characters. The disease is mainly used as a vehicle for moving along the development of Hazel and Augustus. In the absence of teen wizards, dystopian death races, and swooning vampire/werewolf feuds, it allows us to view the protagonists in a more complex setting than the traditional high school drama.  It also forces the characters to grow up much faster than they should, which I think is important for Green's audience as well as his needs as a writer.  The ""young adult"" label should not be cause for dismissal to older audiences.  As equally evident in his previous novels, Green's writing is not dumbed-down in an attempt to cater to a misguided adult notion of the intelligence of teenagers. While Hazel and Augustus certainly share in the same adolescent interests as many of their peers, their dialogue is written at a level that betrays a deeper level of maturity.  Amidst trips to the mall and countless video game sessions, the characters expound on subjects in life that everyone faces.  While it might seem strange to hear a 16-year-old use words like ""cloying"" and ""sobriquet,"" this is par for the course in a John Green novel.  And strangely, it works very well (provided you keep a dictionary handy).  Even though I initially balked at reading a ""young adult"" title (I'm well into adulthood), I realized that just because a book is marketed toward adolescents, doesn't mean it can't be enjoyed by those outside that niche.  I'm hesitant to make the comparison, but ""The Fault in our Stars"" bridges the age gap in the same vein as Salinger's <a class=""a-link-normal"" href=""/The-Catcher-in-the-Rye/dp/0316769177"">The Catcher in the Rye</a>.  It contains content and themes thoroughly relatable to a young audience, while being presented in a way that adults will appreciate.<br/><br/>Green's characters always come off a bit stiff to me and start off sounding like pretentious jerks who are trying too hard to grow up, but I always warm up to them and end up relating to them by the middle of the novel.  Gus was no exception. However my opinion of him changed as early as chapter 2, and I knew as soon as I heard him have a conversation with Hazel about their counselor's incorrect usage of the word ""literally"" (a fact that had literally been bothering me since it was mentioned in the first chapter) that I knew we could be friends.  The likeability factor of these characters is one of the reasons the rest of the story can be so heartbreaking to follow at times.  Even though I was fully aware from the beginning that Hazel's condition is terminal, she doesn't behave in a way that constantly reminds me of that fact.  Instead, her sarcastic wit and outlook on life draw me to her as someone I could easily be friends with (if only there wasn't that problem of her being a fictional character).  From very early on, I'm sucked into an emotional attachment to the characters in the story that made it very difficult to actually put the book down (and one of the reasons I will probably read it several more times).  Returning to the titular quote above, although it is fully explained in the novel, I think the line from Julius Caesar is also appropriate as a title because Hazel does not let her ultimate fate determine the course of her life.<br/><br/>I thought Green's last two solo books, Katherines and Paper Towns, were pretty good, but they didn't capture that sense of awe I felt after finishing his first novel.  And again, I think that's because I've seen such a huge change over the years in Green's ability to connect his characters to the reader.  The Fault in our Stars returns me to that era and I'm reminded of just how good of a writer he is.  I do not know if it will win the same Young Adult Fiction awards Alaska received, but I do know it will be regarded by myself and many more as one of, if not his best work to date.  Regardless of their literary interests, I would definitely recommend it to anyone who is a fan of great writing and character-driven stories.<br/><br/>It should also be mentioned that Green personally signed all 150,000 copies of the first printing of this novel. So if you are buying it soon after release, your copy will almost certainly be autographed.<br/><br/>John Green's other novels include:<br/><br/><a class=""a-link-normal"" href=""/Looking-for-Alaska/dp/0142402516"">Looking for Alaska</a> (2005)<br/><a class=""a-link-normal"" href=""/An-Abundance-of-Katherines/dp/0142410705"">An Abundance of Katherines</a> (2006)<br/><a class=""a-link-normal"" href=""/Paper-Towns/dp/014241493X"">Paper Towns</a> (2008)<br/><a class=""a-link-normal"" href=""/Let-It-Snow-Three-Holiday-Romances/dp/0142414999"">Let It Snow: Three Holiday Romances</a> (coauthored - 2010)<br/><a class=""a-link-normal"" href=""/Will-Grayson-Will-Grayson/dp/0142418471"">Will Grayson, Will Grayson</a> (coauthored - 2010)<br/><br/>DFTBA</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RIR61V8D1LAIT?ASIN=014242417X	A Review in Three Parts	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Part one: The Book.<br/><br/>""The Fault in Our Stars"" is a work that defies its genre in all the best ways possible. The silly boycrushes and superficial gossip that most writers think makes up 99% of high school steps aside for a beautiful, honest, heartrending story of life, death, and love. I can only compare this book to Markus Zuzak's award-winning ""The Book Thief"" in terms of sophistication and depth.<br/><br/>Hazel and Augustus are two of the most fleshed-out characters, particularly teenagers, that I have ever read. Their story is a joy and a privilege to read. Furthermore, their love is more real than anything else you will ever find on the Young Adult shelves.<br/><br/>Note- Read it alone if you can. People give you weird looks when you aren't sure if you're laughing or crying.<br/><br/>Part Two: A Response to Several Reviews<br/><br/>This bit is written in response to those who find the dialogue unrealistic, particularly for wee little teenagers. To them, I'd firstly like to request that you stop being condescending. Does every teenager speak like that? No, of course not. But please don't assume that means all teenagers are incapable of using words with more than two syllables, or lack the brainpower to be witty, insightful, and existential in conversation.<br/><br/>Having spent the last five or so years in this nebulous ""teenagerdom"", I believe I may be qualified enough to judge the ""teenageriness"" of Green's dialogue. Do the characters sound like teenagers? No. They don't sound like iCarly, or Bella Swan, or Troy Bolton or the majority of teens in pop culture.<br/><br/>But they do sound like me, and my best friends, and the people I surround myself with in high school. They sound like people, people I'd like to meet. Like the books defiance of the Young Adult Genre, Hazel and Augustus defy the conventional teenager model, resulting in some of the most honest and real characters I have read.<br/><br/>Part Three: A Letter<br/><br/>Dear John Green,<br/>  Thank you.<br/>Sincerely,<br/>  A Young Adult</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1D4Q6GIT4QPXF?ASIN=014242417X	"""It is the nature of stars to cross"""	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Boy, do I have a feeling I'm going to provoke a lot of anger among the Nerdfighter community with this. All I ask is that you hear me out.<br/><br/>I've read all of John Green's full-length, independently written novels (opting to skip all the collaborations and side projects). I find him to be a mostly charming, witty writer, but I've never obsessed over him the way his impressive legion of fans (called Nerdfighters) have. Clearly, I've enjoyed him enough to keep checking in every time he's published a new book, but there have been enough flaws or annoyances to keep me a little jaded about the experience. The Fault in Our Stars may have officially tipped the scales against Green for me. It's the first time I've really found myself irritated by a Green novel.<br/><br/>I'm going to insert a disclaimer here before anyone tries to accuse me of lacking sensitivity for people who are terminally ill. Both of my parents have had, or still have, cancer at the time of this writing. My partner lost his mother to cancer. I also had a beloved aunt who spent the first twenty-three years of my life fighting recurrences of cancer before succumbing (in fact, I was never actually supposed to meet her, since she was given roughly six months to live upon her initial diagnosis--which was six years before I was even born). I've worn a Live Strong bracelet on my wrist every day for the last seven years to remind me of their struggles and the importance of really living every single day. Furthermore, I count <a class=""a-link-normal"" href=""/Wit-A-Play/dp/0571198775"">Wit: A Play</a> among my favorite books and Terms of Endearment reduced me to emotional rubble (seriously, I can't even watch it. I cried so hard I made ludicrous, hiccupy snuffling noises that made me glad no one was there to witness it).<br/><br/>So please believe me when I say that when I found the protagonists (Hazel Grace Lancaster and Augustus Waters) of The Fault in Our Stars irritating, it had nothing to do with their illnesses and everything to do with the way Green constructed their personalities. I'll get to my problems with the plot itself at the end.<br/><br/>Green has an upstanding history of creating lovable nerds. He is an author who really understands and celebrates the underdog--the so-called ""losers"" of the world. It's why his fan community is known as Nerdfighters (not to mention why he has such a massive fan community at all). He's subverting the paradigm that being intelligent or ""weird"" is wrong (if Glee were capable of consistent storytelling it would be spreading the same message on TV every week). But here's the thing: in all of his other books I've believed in his over-articulate outcasts without an incredible suspension of disbelief. I don't believe in Hazel and Augustus the same way. Their dialogue is at best contrived, at worst cloying and, well, ridiculous.<br/><br/>I chalk this down to the fact that Hazel and Augustus are worth more to Green as Metaphors than as characters. Everything they do has to be Significant and Important and Meaningful. The main plotpoint, where they embark on a quest to find the author of Hazel's favorite book (which famously lacks closure) so they can find out what happens after the last sentence, is a rather obvious metaphor for their fear of death. For goodness' sake, Hazel can't even eat breakfast without opining about how eggs are the victims of typecasting. ""I mean seriously,"" she intones, ""How did scrambled eggs get stuck with breakfast exclusivity? You can put bacon on a sandwich without anyone freaking out. But the moment your sandwich has an egg, boom, it's a breakfast sandwich ... I don't want to have 'breakfast for dinner' ... I want to have scrambled eggs for dinner without this ridiculous construction that a scrambled egg-inclusive meal is breakfast even when it occurs at dinnertime.""* Do you get it, you guys? THE EGG IS A METAPHOR. I just blew your mind, didn't I? It's OK, take a second if you need to.<br/><br/>Augustus is, if possible, even more obviously cratered with Metaphors. His desire to die heroically is repeatedly signified by his obsession with sacrificing his virtual life in video games instead of winning the game (then, irritatingly, Green feels the need to explain it toward the end anyway Just In Case You Missed It). He's the kind of guy who likes to keep an unlit cigarette between his lips, and will gladly explain it's metaphorical significance to you if you ask politely (""You put the killing thing right between your teeth, but you don't give it the power to do its killing.""), prompting Hazel to remark that he chooses his behaviors based on their metaphorical resonance and Fall Irrevocably In Love With Him.<br/><br/>And there's the other problem I have with Augustus and Hazel: their romance feels like a plot construction far more than it feels like a natural stars-crossed Passion For The Ages. In Green's other books, I believed that Miles fell for self-destructive Alaska, I believed that Margo Roth Spiegelman captivated Quentin Jacobsen enough to make him search for her after she disappeared (in <a class=""a-link-normal"" href=""/Looking-for-Alaska/dp/0142402516"">Looking for Alaska</a> and <a class=""a-link-normal"" href=""/Paper-Towns/dp/014241493X"">Paper Towns</a> respectively). There was something about their force-of-nature presence that made it believable that someone like Miles or Quentin would be lured in. But Augustus Waters just shows up in Hazel's cancer support group and stares at her like Creepy McCreeperson and she just swoons at him. I'm sorry, that's almost as bad as Bella Swan falling in love with Edward Cullen even though he apparently hates her and is stalking her outside her bedroom window. Green attempts to play it cool by having Hazel recognize that she'd be creeped out if it were an ugly guy staring at her, but that doesn't make their love affair any less sudden or any less inexplicable. The plot won't work if they aren't in love, so reason be damned, and there it is: love at first sight.<br/><br/>And that brings us to my problems with the plot itself.<br/><br/>Observation: repeatedly beginning lines of dialogue in which your characters are supposed to make an Important Observation about Life As We All Know It with ""Observation: ..."" gets old, especially when the Observation(:) is as trite as ""standing in line is a form of oppression."" Observation: Random Acts of Capitalization don't make your writing endearing or quirky. Please To Stop.<br/><br/>Nevermind the fact that all the peripheral characters are completely flat (definitely an accusation I never expected to make about John Green)--if they don't matter to the author, why should they matter to us? That the plot is dully predictable is a greater offense to me. The ""plot twist"" recurrence, the acceptance of fate, the lessons learned by the protagonist at the end ... you see it all coming a mile away.<br/><br/>The strength of The Fault in Our Stars is that it refuses to offer false comfort regarding a subject matter that does not have any happy ending: we are all going to die, but we live our lives pretending that words like ""forever"" or ""always"" have meaning (think of Isaac's subplot in re: the latter word). I suspect this is a new concept for many people; maybe that's why it resonates with so many readers. Perhaps I'm more morbid than your average person, but it was nothing new for me. And it's been done better (the aforementioned Wit for one). The Fault in Our Stars wants to have it both ways: it wants to reflect the harsh realities of impermanence and death, but it wants to leave the reader feeling good in the end. Consider that the book Hazel loves so much is lauded for remaining honest through its complete lack of closure, but Green provides us with a full denouement and conclusion. It derides cheap sentimentality, then uses it as a crutch to make the reader Feel Something. In the end you just can't have it both ways, and that's why The Fault in Our Stars is a failure to me.<br/><br/>Grade: D+<br/><br/>*""breakfast exlusivity?"" WHO TALKS LIKE THAT?! You can tell me that these kids have been forced into early adulthood due to their circumstances until you're blue in the face and I won't buy it. I'm well into adulthood right now and have never heard anyone, ever, talk in such a contrived manner.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RBUFWSIWVBDE?ASIN=014242417X	Oh my god...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Reading this book will possibly be one of the most masochistic things that you will ever do. This is because it is going to cause you real, visceral pain. You are going to cry. I say this as someone who never, ever cries at books, and yet this book brought me to tears. I don't know if I will ever be able to reread this, because it affected me so deeply the first time around that I don't know if I could handle another time. I think the closer you are to the issues in the book, the more it it is going to make you feel. This might be the only place that I would say to exercise caution, because this is not a book where all the problems and sadness are neatly wrapped up by the end. It ends on an incredibly satisfying note, but it is not a happy ending, and so if your life has been closely impacted by cancer at some point then this book might be a little too close to the issue, if this book had come out a couple of years ago I think I might not have been able to read it.<br/><br/>It's not all sadness, though. It also made me laugh out loud, and I got so incredibly invested in the characters that their futures were, for a brief time, intertwined with my own. I cared about what happened to them, on a level that most books can only hope to achieve. The prose is beautiful and incredibly intelligent, like John's other books you feel like you're learning something every time you turn the page. The characters are so witty and wonderful that I wish they really existed in my life.<br/><br/>I was a little bit wary going in, because of all the hype and the way the Nerdfighter community tends to place John's books on such a high pestle that it's amazing he can continuously top the previous ones. This one lives up to everything, though. I think it's his best one yet, because at the heart of everything it made me feel something, and that quality is one that not many other books have been able to attain. I feel emotionally tired after reading it, and it almost seems like it made me a better person on some level.<br/><br/>This book is going to change you. It's breathtaking and heartbreaking and desperately witty, all at the same time, and you should definitely read it. You'll come out of it a different person than when you started it.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R62WD7KSXATQ0?ASIN=014242417X	Not Believable Teenagers	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">It seems like every less-than-five-star review needs to begin with the author's assurance of being a Nerdfighter and loving John Green, lest it be downvoted into oblivion. Therefore let me begin by saying that yes, I am a Nerdfighter, and I watch John Green videos religiously. However, TFIOS fell a little flat for me. Most points I want to make have already been addressed, but I still wanted to stand with my fellow three-star-ers.<br/><br/>My main problem with the book is that the characters are just not believable. They do not speak like teenagers. They do not even handle situations like teenagers do. So many interactions between Gus and Hazel are interactions which, plain and simple, just would not happen between real, emotional, scared, awkward, virgin teenagers, let alone ones with cancer who have been socially cut off for much of their lives. Their transactions are so smooth and painless with just the barest occasional tinge of awkwardness, when most of them ought to be drenched. Augustus's flirting comes to mind as a prime example. It is funny and witty and entertaining and it is also the flirting of an experienced 25 year old. Neither character appears to be a three-dimensional relatable teenager, and that's a shame, because creating a believable teenage romance is what Green is trying to do.<br/><br/>Neither Hazel, Augustus, Hazel's mom, or Hazel's dad appear to have their own seperate identity. They all have the same voice and thought pattern and high intelligence level as their creator does. Hazel is John Green. Augustus is John Green. Hazel's mom and dad are John Green. Isaac is John Green. (Now, I know that obviously all of an author's characters are going to reflect bits of themselves, but it shouldn't be so obvious.) Fortunately, even though all the characters are the same person, the person they are is an interesting person, which is why it's still a good book. Just not the OMGOMGBESTBOOKEVER book that the 600+ 5-star reviews imply.<br/><br/>So, conclusion: I like John Green, I like what he brings to the arena of young adult novels. I like that he expects us to already know his references to The Great Gatsby and Kurt Vonnegut. I like that he challenges us. I like that he creates an environment within and without his novels which expects teenagers to be intelligent and demands them to be intelligent and teaches them to be intelligent. I like the fun little jokes and joyful geekery and the great thought-provoking quotes about life. But because the characters were so unbeleivable, I didn't ""feel"" any of them and I didn't care about them, because Green's own voice drowned theirs out.<br/><br/>So that is my review of TFIOS. Not bad, not amazing either. Better than 80% of the YA novels being published right now, I'm glad that someone with talent gets to be a bestseller. But he still didn't hit it out of the park.<br/><br/>p.s. Thumbs-downers, it is not very much in the spirit of Nerdfighteria to thumbs-down a well-written review just for disagreeing with you. This does add to the discussion and you know it. Stop forgetting to be awesome. Everyone else, DFTBA.<br/><br/>---------------<br/><br/>Edit: Two years and 58 comments later, I'm editing this to address the most common refrain of my most vocal critics, which is that Augustus/Hazel are ""smart"" and that I need to ""stop suggesting that teenagers aren't supposed to talk like that."" Yeah, I have a Tumblr too. You can stop sending me links that I've already seen.<br/><br/>Here's the thing. The problem is not that Augustus is pretentious in the beginning and that his character arc makes him become less pretentious and therefore it's intentional and okay. The problem is that the entirety of the book, from start to finish, character to character, uses overinflated, pretentious diction, regardless of who is speaking. We as readers are expected to swallow this with the excuse of ""stop telling teenagers how smart they can be"", and any criticism is easily silenced by accusing the speaker (i.e. me) of insulting teenagers.<br/><br/>In no circumstance did I say that teenagers are not intelligent. When I wrote this review, I was one, and I certainly did not underestimate the intelligence of my peers. The problem is that indicating that your characters are intelligent by giving them all the voice of a 30-year-old Yale English Lit major who is trying to impress a date is not great writing. It is (brace yourselves) mediocre writing that tramples and ignores and substitutes any genuine character voices with your own. As I said, it's not a bad book. It's engaging and well-written. But this is a major flaw, because the entire point of being an author is to emulate the voice of the people you are trying to portray. The romanticized, elitist diction used in Green's work is the whole ""date a girl who reads"" pretension in book form. The book is cluttered with these long, meandering introspective poem-paragraphs (not just when Augutus is speaking!) and while it is the exact reason teenagers (and adults) love it, it's also very frustrating for people who read to really connect with the characters/plot.<br/><br/>Yeah, Hazel and Augustus are smart kids, and they've been through a lot, and they've had to grow up fast. But they've also been cut off from their peers, they are isolated in most social situations (see: airport scene), and generally ""othered"" by society because of their diseases. This kind of socialization would have a negative, not a positive, impact on a real human being's ability to interact with others. And while they are both ""smart"", smart doesn't necessarily mean re: speaking like a Yale lit major.<br/><br/>I really believe that while it's a good book, it's not the best book ever; it receives a healthy popularity boost from John Green's very public profile, and if he were not such a well-known pseudo-celebrity, people would read his books a little more critically.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R21G04VDPA0RFI?ASIN=014242417X	A True Task	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I had never read a John Green novel prior to reading this one. I wanted very much to like it and felt certain after reading some of the overwhelmingly positive reviews here that it would be an awesome and heartbreaking experience. I was ready and excited. I guess I could sum the experience up best by stating that it is unlikely I will read another book by this author, and if I do it will be sometime in the future when I forget how utterly disappointing I found this book to be.<br/><br/>I had a lot of problems with this book. Overall, it felt very insincere and I was constantly distracted by how obviously everything was written with the goal of tugging on the reader's heart strings, rather than just letting things happen that were beautiful in spite of being sad. It felt like Mr. Green was screaming at me from the page 'ARE YOU SAD YET? YOU'RE SAD RIGHT? THIS IS SAD. YOU SHOULD FEEL ALL THE THINGS AND CRY ABOUT IT. I'M A GOOD WRITER. I WRITE FEELINGS. ARE YOU CRYING YET?' For a story about Human Beings, it doesn't feel very human at all. Instead everything feels very unnatural and self-conscious in the worst way.<br/><br/>The biggest and most impossible thing for me to get around was I simply didn't believe the character of Augustus or his relationship with main character Hazel. As these concepts  are basically what the entire story hinges upon, I didn't believe in or care about anything else that happened either. Augustus came off completely pretentious and obnoxious, particularly in the way he insisted on speaking in a Diablo Cody nerd hipster sort of dialect that no one would ever use in the real world. (Some commenters here have said it's the way Mr. Green himself talks which, a.) way to be self-congratulatory, and b.) how does he not get punched in the face, like, ALL THE TIME?) His entire character felt contrived and I never once felt a connection with him. Too often it seemed like he was walking around like I AM SO CLEVER LOOK AT ME LOOK AT ME, constantly putting on a show so that nothing from him felt genuine or real. His whole fascination with ultimately meaningless metaphors felt condescending, like Mr. Green constantly squealing HEY GUYS, SEE WHAT I DID THERE? TAKE A SECOND, WRITE IT DOWN IF YOU NEED TO. YEAH, I'M DEEP. Augustus' one fault was sickness, but it was nothing that he could control. And that's just so... boring.<br/><br/>But it wasn't just Augustus. The character of Hazel was somewhat likable, (despite Mr. Green's insistance on making her 'sound like a teenager' by formating every other statement she makes like it's a question? and tacking distracting 'or whatever's onto the end of random bits of dialogue BECAUSE THIS IS HOW TEENAGERS TALK RIGHT? I CAN TALK LIKE A TEENAGER, SEE? BECAUSE THEY SAY 'WHATEVER'. I'M A GOOD WRITER. ARE YOU FEELING THINGS YET?) but her relationship with Augustus felt completely and totally forced. There was never any real reason for them to fall in love with one another, and that is crossing dangerously close into Twilight territory. He was so convienient, so effortless for Hazel. I had to wonder, was it him or was it because he was there and ready and willing? It all fell flat and left so many places to take the stories and facets of their characters completely unexplored. Any opportunities to delve into hard questions and real answers were left untaken and exchanged for large passages (mainly in the **SPOLIER ALERT**: Amsterdam trip scenes) that had very little purpose outside of screaming LOOK AT THIS HANDSOME CHARMING BOY ISN'T HE SWEET LADIES? HE WILL PULL YOUR CHAIR OUT FOR YOU AND HE TALKS LIKE I DO. IT'S CHARMING, RIGHT? YOU ARE FEELING CHARMED. I'M A GOOD WRITER.<br/><br/>Ultimately, it felt completely fake. I couldn't get lost in it, always fully aware of the fact that I was reading fiction and how irritating EVERYTHING about it was. I finished it, which is the only reason I gave it 2 stars, but it was a true task. Truthfully, it pissed me off. I would have loved to love this book as much as everyone else and have a new favorite to hold dear to my heart. Now I'm just confused. Was my copy broken?</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RHETO9BD2OM8W?ASIN=014242417X	The Schmaltz in Our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I was on the waiting list for this book at my local library for several months. I was vaguely aware of the plot, but was more interested in reading it because of of its popularity (nearly 25,000 reviews on this site alone?!) and seemingly everyone's adoration of it. Color me intrigued!<br/><br/>Unfortunately, the book is terrible.<br/><br/>The characters are utter cliches. I lost interest in the whole, ""teenagers spew philosophical insights at every turn and act like they're middle-aged philosophy professors"" somewhere around season three of Dawson's Creek.<br/><br/>The ending was obvious the instant Augustus was introduced. I am a voracious reader of many genres, and I meet characters I love, love to hate, and hate to love all the time. Even the unlikable ones often have a redeeming quality, something in their backstory that explains their present, or are just plain fun and interesting to read. I can safely say August is one of perhaps a handful of characters I've ever actively disliked. ""Pretentious douchebag"" seems an apt description, and having read profiles and interviews re: John Green, this character must be autobiographical.<br/><br/>The plot with the reclusive author (I don't remember his name, nor do I care to) who engages in a penpal-type relationship with Augustus and trip to Amsterdam was utterly contrived and inane. A kissing scene in front of a cheering audience at the Anne Frank house/museum is not romantic; it is disrespectful and creepy.<br/><br/>The ""love story"" -- solely based on the fact that Hazel resembles Natalie Portman's ""V for Vendetta"" era is straight out of the Nicholas Sparks handbook (terrible disease + contrived love story + impending death = $$$$$$$$$$$ and movie rights). Authors: please stop using life-threatening illness as a catalyst for terrible, lazy writing. It is insulting to people who have actually been affected by life-threatening illness.<br/><br/>The only reason I finished this book was so I would have counterpoints to make when people inevitably act like it's on a par with Lee, Hemingway, Vonnegut, Fitzgerald, Salinger, Updike,  etc -- just a handful of the many timeless authors I strongly suggest those who rave about this book seriously consider looking into. For a more modern example, may I suggest the works of Tom Perrotta. There are many others (Rowling, King, and Irving among them) whose prose may not be Shakespeare, but at least they can construct stories/characters in which readers invest themselves. I recently read ""Wonder"" by RJ Palacio -- THERE is a book about a young person that captures the feelings, dialogue, and growing pains of a young person who has faced his own share of health-related struggles.<br/><br/>File this one with Stephanie Meyer, whoever wrote 50 Shades of Grey, James Patterson, and Nicholas Sparks under ""Things I Don't Get and Wish People Would Stop Considering Literature.""</span>"

I'm a former English teacher and YA lit lover, so I was expecting great things. I ended up disappointed.

The book didn't suck, but it wasn't his best work either. It was just ok.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R20HUE6TI50LJM?ASIN=014242417X	Extremely Overrated Wtih Detestable Characters	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I don't often write reviews, but I felt compelled to write a negative review of this book as I am very disappointed by it. I don't quite understand why anyone would rate this book a positive rating, unless most of the positive reviews are from teenagers who think it is a work of genius simply because of the use of big words, shallow romance, and (psuedo)-intellectualism.<br/><br/>Given all the hype surrounding it, I expected ""The Fault in Our Stars"" to draw me in and keep me interested throughout each page, instead, the book is flat, emotionless, and unenjoyable. The characters are unrealistic and are extremely pretentious to the point of annoyance. I have never encountered a teenager who speaks the way they do -- their level of maturity and philosophical outlook is well above and beyond their years.  It sounds more like the author himself speaking through his invented characters, which explains why the main characters all sound the same and are fairly indistinguishable from one another.  Interjecting the word, ""like"" once in a while, and the overuse of the phrase, ""or whatever"" that the teenage characters repeat incessantly, does not make them seem any more believable, (It only serves to irk and further annoy).<br/><br/>I felt nothing for Hazel or Augustus, as they were quite unlikable. Their ""romance"" occurs suddenly and without reason and is unconvincing. I also did not feel as though the struggles, pain, and suffering, that someone endures while battling a devastating illness such as cancer, were properly conveyed. It was also difficult to muster any sympathy for the characters or shed a tear for them, (their sarcastic approach to life and to their condition, didn't help in this regard). If you would like to read a better book about a young girl dying from cancer, I recommend  ""Before I Die,"" by Jenny Downham.  Although not without controversial moments, I feel like Downham's writing effectively conveys, and truly captures the essence and emotions of a dying teenage girl, and the story is much more intense and meaningful than ""The Fault in Our Stars,"" (or whatever).</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R9XTVU9M38WMS?ASIN=014242417X	Good, not great	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I bought this book when I was on vacation and have read it 2.5 times since then. Every time I read it I like it less and less, to the point that I couldn't finish it the last time.<br/><br/>To preface, I've watched John + Hank's videos for over a year and I really wanted to like this book. I haven't liked any of John's books since LfA, but I'd heard such great reviews that I thought this would be better.<br/><br/>I think this book played on all of the faults in John's writing and this is why I disliked it. To start off, the entire tone of the book, from the narration to dialogue, came off extremely pretentious, to the point of tedium. By my third read-through I was reading several bits of the books in John's voice, because he talks exactly how he writes. Granted, Green is a 35 (?) year old man with an English major, who is very articulate and has an extensive vocabulary. he should have toned it down when writing about two awkward, teenage virgins talking to each other. I think Hazel and Augustus were both guilty of sounding like they were talking like mature, well-read adults. I also found the constant references to other literature inside the book annoying to the point of distraction, especially since it was narrated by a 17 year old girl. Between Fitzgerald, Vonnegut, Shakspeare, the poetry within the book, and the excerpts from ""An Imperial Affliction"" I felt like it really diluted the believability of the book.<br/>All of the really obvious metaphors rally detracted from the plot. The most obvious ones the come to mind were the unlit cigarette, the bones sculpture in the park, the ""ghettoization of breakfast foods"", and how An Imperial Affliction doesn't have an ending. However, Green has separately stated that there are other metaphors hidden within the book, such as:<br/>-Hazel's name: Hazel is an ""in-between color,"" just as Hazel herself was ""in-between"" sickness and health.<br/>-Amsterdam: a city both dependent on water and drowning it in<br/>-When they are on the plane and Augustus' movie ends before Hazel's, it is foreshadowing for his death, which is before hers.<br/>I'm sure there are others I'm forgetting, but these are the few that come to mind.<br/>The choice of a girl narrator was also really distracting. I am roughly the same age as Hazel, and I felt like I couldn't relate to her at all. Obviously, I don't have cancer, but I felt like parts of her narration was really forced. Green's forte is a male voice, but I think he decided to narrate from a girl's point of view to break the pattern of his other books.<br/>Finally, I didn't really find the plot all that intriguing. Van Houten was not a very believable character. (How ironic that his characters are obsessed with finding closure to a novel, when Green himself is famous for ending his book without closure.)<br/>This is still a pretty good book, especially considering it's a YA book. I did cry the first few times I read it (in fact, I practically bawled). I wouldn't recommend this book to friends, and my favorite Green novel is still the debut, Looking for Alaska.<br/>I would love to see John write a novel about older people, even in their twenties. I think he is a good writer, but I've never been able to find any of his character very likeable or believable. John said somewhere that he is under contract to write 4 more books, which is good, because I don't think he's really found his voice as a writer yet.</span>"
1.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RVXBW62TT6LJI?ASIN=014242417X	Hit and Miss	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I loved this book when I started it. It instantly had my attention because it felt like it was in the same vein as ""It's Kind of a Funny Story"" and ""50/50"". Mind you, this is the first John Green book I've read. But for a book that seemingly seeks to kill the typical-cancer-book-stereotype, it just barely succeeds. It's not a bad book but a lot of it is ridiculously predictable. The characters are a little flat, their attempts at charm come off as pretentious and there are some situations that are just so improbable that they're annoying to read (Peter Van Houten in the second and completely unnecessary third act). I'm not bashing the book. It's a mildly interesting read that I personally find overrated.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1PPN67CDFO4O?ASIN=014242417X	Meh.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I was very excited to read this book, because it had been so well reviewed. I was very disappointed. I could not emotionally connect with the characters, because they were so unrealistic. Maybe it is because I have dealt with cancer and death in my own family many times that I just don't feel any depth here. Green writes about her breathing tubes and his feeding tubes and how pathetic and sad their situation is, but without actually developing any real chemistry between the leads. It feels like all of the pervasive cancer talk is an attempt at pulling your heart strings, but I feel like I might have been more emotional if more time was spent on their actual relationship as opposed to their diseases. Weak.</span>"

The protagonist obsession with that specific simple book and the trip is the biggest gimmick an author could come up with to have a story?! I felt like I was just listening to a conversation from two teenagers and that conversation abruptly ends leaving me cold, frustrated and  somewhat angry. There was nothing compelling about this story. I have read many books in English and Spanish and this is the first time I have felt this way about a book...complete emptiness and shocked that so many people fell for this story. I feel this book is for young people who have not experienced real life and real issues.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R13C59PLVGBIEP?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault Is In The Plot Device	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">As a 40 year old male, I'm not ashamed to admit I like John Green's books.  In each he seems to capture the essence of adolescence that remains with us into adulthood.  In my favorite book, An Abundance of Katherines, Green expertly captures the struggles of a gifted teen in ways that speak to what it is like to be a gifted adult.<br/><br/>It The Fault in Our Stars, Green takes on teenagers facing terminal cancer.  Hazel Grace Lancaster is a teen living on borrowed time, with lung cancer and only a short time to live.  She meets Augustin ""Gus"" Waters, a cancer survivor, at a support group and soon they fall in love.  They bond over Hazel's favorite book,  ""An Imperial Affliction"", by the fictional Peter Van Houten.  The book tells the story of a girl with cancer and ends suddenly when the girl dies, and both Hazel and Gus long to learn what happens next.  As their romance blossoms, they conspire to meet Peter Van Houten, who lives in the Netherlands.<br/><br/>While I cannot speak with experience, Green seems to expertly capture the feelings of children with cancer, who are strong not because of some great inner power, but because they have no other choice.  Gus and Hazel, and Gus's friend Issac all have authentic voices and relationships with their parents that feel true.  There are many times when Green, with a few lines of dialogue, brings tears to your eyes by simply detailing the words kids and parents exchange when faced with such terrible fates.<br/><br/>Where the book falls short to me Peter Van Houten.  On the page, he never seems more than a plot device to hinge the book on.  While they help set up some wonderful sequences is Holland, the interaction with the character himself seems false, and only a way to setup the twist in the middle of the book and an ending that, without spoiling it, seems overwritten and false.<br/><br/>Still, Green has a wonderful way of capturing the mindset of certain types of teenagers that feels timeless.  The Fault In Our Stars is worth the read.  Just bring a tissue.</span>"
1.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3OGX9J7XBGQX9?ASIN=014242417X	A Few Faults in Green's Newest	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I wanted this book to be better than it was, because I truly do like John Green's writing. 3 stars is as much as I can give it, though, because when all was said and done I was left with an unsatisfied feeling.<br/><br/>Green is a talented writer, and all of his humor and wit and biting commentary are in good form throughout this book. My main gripe was with the characters he created. I'm all for smart kids. I also understand the point of bringing across the sort of growth and emotional maturity one must come into when faced with a terminal illness. Still, these teenagers very rarely felt like teenagers.<br/><br/>These characters often seemed overwraught and almost like caricatures of themselves. During an emergency, our protagonist Hazel dials 9-1-1 and proclaims something like, ""The great love of my life Augustus Waters has a malfunctioning g-tube."" Really? REALLY? Moments like that brought me out of the story because it's overdone.<br/><br/>I didn't cry but that was probably a bi-product of not feeling particularly attached to the characters. I read a lot about the love between Augustus and Hazel, but it was always flat. It seemed to just be true, because it was written that way. What's more, all of the characters in this book seemed to be copies of each other, especially in the case of the three main kids. What's the personality difference between Augustus and Hazel? What's the difference in their voice? You'd be hard pressed to find one.<br/><br/>It's a good book with nice moments of commentary on life, death and suffering, all when it doesn't get too preachy or too overdone. Not Green's best, but still decent.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RRY46M02OE8FF?ASIN=014242417X	It's been an emotional evening.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is almost entirely just copy and pasted from an immediate reaction post I made on a friend's Facebook wall, and I would have written a separate review but I think there are already more than enough for everyone to see why they need to read it.<br/>""I think I need to reread it; I know I sped through some parts too fast to fully appreciate them. It was...more than I expected, already, though.<br/>For a few days, I was kind of secretly anxious as hell. When I got it and actually held it in my hand, I was really excited but also afraid it wouldn't live up to the seemingly unfair hype we gave it. I mean, we didn't know that much about it anyway. He had an idea of who two of the characters were. We knew what the cover looked like. We knew it'd be autographed.<br/>We just had faith in this fantastic writer. And....it was well-placed. I laughed, I cried, I was cliche as anything. Whatever man. It was a profoundly /good/ book, and the characters were remarkable, and I can say with no hesitation that it was the best book that I have read in a very very long time, and definitely the best he has published, ever. I hope to see students studying these in English someday. And I'll be damned if it doesn't earn him the right to attach more stickers to the book covers, this time shiny and metallic and very very award-y.""<br/>Buy it. It's fantastic.</span>"

I found it poorly written, with characters unlikable and unbelievable. I was a high school counselor and  never had students who spoke in such stilted dialogue.  Plot was predictable and I never shed a tear.  I finally started speed reading the book and was happy when it was over.  If this is an example of good young adult reading then I feel sorry for the intellectual future of our youth.  Maybe all the zombies in the movies they watch have infected their brains.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1MYZE9SEQV4M0?ASIN=014242417X	Adults like this?	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">As a book for adults to read I would give ""The Fault in our Stars"" 1 star. As a book for teenagers I would give it 3. Thus the 2 star rating I gave it for the purposes of this review. I have seen first-hand how teenagers eat this book up and I find their reaction appropriate to their intellectual and maturity levels. What I don't get are all the adults fawning over this text. My review is aimed at those readers.<br/>As someone who works every day with teenagers I could not get over the massively unrealistic speech / dialogue of the kids that this novel portrays. The brightest kids I know don't talk the way these characters do, and in this book ALL the kids talk like Aaron Sorkin writes their dialogue. As a result I kept being pulled out of the story by this distraction. Coming from the mouths of kids it is just obnoxious.<br/>The most ridiculous aspect of this book is the subplot that involves the protagonist's favorite writer, Peter Van Houten. It horribly detracts from the main plot of the text, and needed to be cut from the novel entirely. To make matters worse, some of the worst written parts of this novel deal with that subplot. Some examples include an insipid and unrealistic trip to Amsterdam that is just for lack of a better word, stupid. It involves a scene where the protagonist and her boyfriend kiss in the Anne Frank museum and onlookers clap while they kiss. No joke! It feels like a parody of bad writing. It is not helped by the fact that the character of Peter Van Houten has the most pretentious and fake sounding speech that I have come across in a book. His character wrote a novel that is the favorite of the protagonists' called ""An Imperial Affliction"" and the characters in this text quote from, and reference, it often. If the book actually existed it would be one of the more pretentious and unreadable things on the planet.<br/>Now as to why I think teenagers love this book. First, it is a very quick read. You do keep turning the pages. The topic of the text (teenagers with cancer) is an engaging idea full of dramatic possibilities. The last 80 pages or so of the book have some decent moments. Alas, they are too often followed by scenes of such sap that they quickly descend into cliché and the worse kind of sentimentality.<br/>As I said earlier, the novel's topic is a good one, and I am disappointed that Mr. Green insisted on making what could have been an interesting story into the worst kind of melodrama.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RMNH9EMEL5YJ3?ASIN=014242417X	In the Minority	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I didn't like this book.<br/><br/>I had never read a John Green book. I had never even cared to, until my best friend read it, liked it a lot, and recommended it to me. I should probably say that I'm not a fan of Young Adult literature (and neither is she). There are a few exceptions (The Book Thief, notably), so I was more than willing to give this book a go.<br/><br/>As soon as I read the first chapter, I knew I wouldn't like it. I felt that Hazel was too witty, too clever to be a real person. Intelligence does not ruin a character or make them unbelievable, but she says things in a way no real person would.<br/><br/>Worse still was Augustus. I thought Hazel was a bit unrealistic, but I liked her alright. I could not stand Augustus. Everything about him, his name, his method of speech, his looks, annoyed me. He's attractive. He has a unique name. He speaks entirely in pretty metaphors. I hated him more with every single word he spoke. I don't like to throw the label ""Mary Sue"" around at all, but I'm willing to apply it here.<br/><br/>Everything about this book is pretentious. There's always a trite metaphor, always a poem to quote, always something that reminds me that these are characters in a book, rather than everyday people. John Green can write beautifully, but that beauty overwhelms everything, and the emotion never feels quite real.<br/><br/>This is a shame, because clearly, John Green can write. I loved Hazel's parents (especially her father). They were very real, vulnerable, and human. Their parts of the book were the only bits that made me feel anything except annoyance.<br/><br/>That all said, I can see how people like this book, and it certainly was not the worst book I've ever read. Still, not my cup of tea, and I won't be reading any of his other books.</span>"

I just don't. I never felt a...spark with this. I didn't finish with any lasting feelings. I thought the writing was bland and not memorable and the dialogue was awkward. Kids/teenagers do NOT talk like that. They just don't. That right there made the story extremely unbelievable for me. They talked like adults, stuck in kids bodies to make a Young Adult book. I also found the ""love"" between Augustus and Hazel to be non-existent. I felt like we were TOLD that they loved each other, but never shown. In my opinion, they never really got to know each other. I do have to say that I quite enjoyed Isaac's character. He brought a much needed element to the story. I really hate that I didn't like this book. I tried. I really did.

3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2BBUPQGP5ZWJI?ASIN=014242417X	The fault is in this piece of crap book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I don't know where to begin so i will just start listing. Pretend I'm BuzzFeed and this is 26 reasons this book is overrated and over-blown teenage tripe.<br/><br/>SPOILERS ABOUND (and I don't care).<br/><br/>1. The character names - Hazel. Augustus (I know i am a different generation but I hear Augustus and I automatically hear Gloop and see a fat German kid going up a chocolate waterfall pipe after contaminating the chocolate river in Charlie &amp; the Chocolate factory). Issac (Mizrahi? Oh i adore him!). Who names their kids out of the Victorian age?<br/><br/>2. Pretentious little brats too, Yeah sorry about the cancer but did it also have to make them completely insufferable? Did the cancer turn on pseudo-intellectual gobbley-gook that they have to spout every three pages before saying something teenagery so I can remind myself these are TEENS with cancer and not pedantic adults who have been locked in an ivory tower called the Filosoof reading Spinoza?.<br/><br/>3. Speaking of the Dutch, clever marketing ploy - author gets time in the Netherlands to write. He writes a big part of the book set in the Netherlands. It's like a Dutch tourist ad. And make sure you make it to the Anne Frank house because every teenager with cancer wants to make out there.<br/><br/>4. Let's face it there is nothing that gets your disease ridden hormones going as much as other teenagers cut down in the prime of their life by Nazi's at a concentration camp, so like totally, add that in and make it a big make-out scene cuz that's super hot.<br/><br/>5. Speaking of hot, that's totally Augustus Waters. OMG like fer sure. He's like um totally hot. See - this really is about a teenage girl with cancer because look how she talks about a totally hot guy.<br/><br/>6. I pray that no teenager with actual cancer has read this book. I am grateful that the poor tragic girl who inspired John Green to write this drivel never had to suffer through reading it knowing that her short life of suffering was co-opted into a book not even as good as some Lifetime movies I've seen.<br/><br/>7. She was a real person (Esther Earl) like Anne Frank was a real person and how dare John Green use them to write his simpering teen tragi-porn! it's beyond revolting! He could not even in death give them the dignity they were due but use them shamelessly for his YA ends.<br/><br/>8. How much for the movie rights John? How many other teenage blather books will you write? Isn't it fab that these teenagers suffered and died and you got to write a book and make a ton of money and become famous?<br/><br/>9. But seriously, if the book had been better, if the love story had not been so shallow and manufactured and utterly meaningless (yes, I know that's how things can be with teenagers but dying teenagers?) Oh sorry there isn't enough time so um, yeah hi Hazel Grace you look like Natalie Portman how about I give you my make-a-wish wish and we go to Amsterdam and meet this raging loon alcoholic that wrote an insufferable pretentious young girl dies of cancer book that you happen to love (and me too because i love you) and  then while we are there (but after i get laid woo-hoo buh-bye virginity) I'll tell you surprise - i know you have fallen in love with me but my cancer has come back and I'm gonna die - even before you do!<br/><br/>10. Oh and that guy Issac he's totally blind and had both eyes cut out of his head. So to pay back his girlfriend (when he had one eye but she was down with that) for dumping him he eggs her car. Blind. Yes, eggs her car. Because<br/>, ya know - teenagers! Even with cancer they are incorrigible!<br/><br/>11. Anyway the language of these philosophical, brooding, deeply feeling video game playing teens is unlike any teenagers I have ever heard speak in my life. As other reviewers have commented, they all sound like John Green. They all are John Green. This entire book, though inspired by real-life teenagers who suffered and died from cancer, is at the beginning, middle and end, all about John Green. Thus it is as swaggeringly faux-nerdy as he is in his Mental Floss videos on You Tube.<br/><br/>12. But more so really, because this took time, energy, research. This is something he had to purposefully write and think he was doing something considerably important. Give him the key to the city!<br/><br/>13. Well they probably will in Amsterdam but then they are all high there so like, whatever, man.<br/><br/>14. Only about 1 percent of all cancer patients are actually teenagers. So this book is not really for them, it's for all the teens who don't have cancer so they can cry over the teens in love in the book who do and they can feel better about their crap lives thinking - well at least I don't have cancer like Hazel and Augustus and Issac. At least i don't have to look at my parents and say, ""Not if but when I die"" like Hazel says to her parents.<br/><br/>15. This books is so in love with itself, so in love with its existential philosophy and preening cleverness that it often forgets that its audience won't be looking for much of a challenge and then has to try to float something arty and smarty down upon them so the author feels that he has contributed in some way to fostering an intellectual treatise, with a dose of blubbering emotion (enough to make you puke).<br/><br/>16. Furthermore all the quirky stuff - dear Lord all mighty - especially Augustus Waters not smoking the cigarette, how could anyone (hello Editor) think this was a good idea? Or the swingset? The needlepoint homilies at the Waters house? The light-hearted banter the two families had with their dying children - awww, lemonade out of those cancer lemons! Hazel's bitterness and how they overly down-played the blindness of Issac, are you kidding me? When you get cancer that lets you just be a total creep to other kids with cancer and mock them after they are blind? Yeah, that's cool, shows us how quirky they are. And the dumb letter at the end to the drunk author - was i supposed to choke up there?<br/><br/>Um, like, whatever.<br/><br/>Lest you think I am heartless i will offer my personal bias. My husband died of cancer six years ago. Fortunately he did not suffer long but the suffering he did in ten days was cataclysmic. There was nothing romantic about it. He was narcotized for pretty much all but several instances. And then he was dead and gone from my life leaving devastation and despair and me a widow in my thirties. Trying to turn the horror that it was into anything but the horror that it was would be criminal.<br/><br/>John Green should consider himself lucky that it wasn't his person who died of cancer. Because that would be a very, very different book.</span>"

I read his autobiography, ""Searching for McDougal"" and knew that I had to take a look at this novel. I'm glad I did!<br/><br/>Though I am not a young adult, I can relate to many of the themes in this novel, probably because I am a human being. My favorite moment is when Holt's main character, Scarlet, tells her lover, ""No, James. The Hanklerfish was my first."" Zing!<br/><br/>If you're not familiar with Holt's previous work, you can find it on his online store here on Amazon. I must say, it's clear that he's been heavily influenced by John Green. Actually, I'd venture to say that Holt and John write like they're practically the same author. Probably why Holt put John's name on the cover of this book; clearly a shout-out. You're a humble one, McDougal!<br/><br/>If I had to rate this book on a scale from 1 to 10, I'd rate it a 12, but Amazon forced me into a 5-star scale (with no allowance for extra stars). There should be a 6th star classified as a rating of ""Holt,"" and a seventh star defined as ""Awesome"". Ironically, this beauty would fall into the ""Awesome"" category, surpassing Holt's own rating. I have no idea what I'm saying. Bravo, Holt! DFTBA.</span>"

Then I read An Abundance of Katherines (my favorite novel of his) and have since watched his videos and read every book he has written, including short stories and collaborations with other authors. Of course I was excited for this book and preordered a copy so I could finally have a book signed by him. Unfortunately, it did not live up to my expectations. I feel like the older I get (I am now 25), the less I can believe Green's writing. I used to love the dialogue in his books but it has progressively gotten more and more obscure and less realistic. I understand style, I am educated and have of course taken many lit classes when I was in college, but he took a few too many liberties in this novel. I just couldn't believe in much of any of the conversations between Hazel and Augustus, I really didn't like the smoking as a metaphor. There were just too many things that were unrealistic. It is unfortunate because I wanted to love this book for so many reasons: my own health battles with my thyroid, my experience in high school when I lived in the Netherlands and traveled many times to Amsterdamm with my friends...there were so many things that I should have been able to relate to, but unfortunately I could not.</span>"

The characters here are pretentious and unlikeable and definitely do not act like  teenagers (or anyone for that matter) stricken with cancer.  I realize this isn't a story about cancer but if the author wants to include that as part of the storyline, he should at least show cancer in its true light.  Three of my four children are cancer survivors so that may influence my feelings regarding this book.  To show these characters traveling around the world, dancing, drinking etc. - where does that energy come from when you're full of chemo drugs and cancer cells?  Anyway, I'm sure many readers will enjoy it - I don't think many cancer patients or their loved ones will find it entertaining.</span>"

I wish I hadn't set my expectations so high. It seems as though the author was trying too hard to make the reader sympathize with the characters. I understand the characters are young adults dealing with medicial conditions that an every day Joe cannot even begin to fathom, but I was never able to truly feel the characters and their emotions. I didn't feel engrossed in the book and I was never able to feel like I was living in the characters world - they always felt distant. I love it when books make me feel like I've left the present time and place I'm in and am now living in the world created by the author. That's the mark of a great book.<br/><br/>Maybe it was just me, but I would not recommend this book. Easily forgotten......</span>"

Then some people I respect raved about the book so I decided to give it a try.  It's not so much the teens-dying part that I hate.  It's the pretentious way the characters speak.

The Fault in Our Stars doesn't even meet this most basic requirement. The characters in this book all talk the same way and think the same way.

I have to say I thought it was just ""ok"".  The main characters of Hazel and Augustus came across as characters written by an adult male, which they were.  The believability factor of the way the characters were written just seemed off.  It came across like an 80's movie where the teenagers are geniuses and the adults are one-dimensional Simpletons.  The ever-present looming death of the main characters hung on each page to the point that you became numb to the emotions it was supposed to invoke.  I'm happy that so many others were moved and loved the book so much, but for me, it disingenuously tried too hard.</span>"

I was only 7 percent through the book, according to Kinderella (my Kindle) and had to stop immediately and do my dishes, or I knew I would be sitting there all night.  I was also moved to send John Green an e-mail immediately, telling him how brilliant his writing is and how much I learn from reading his books. (I am a 48-year-old woman, a YA-author-in-progress, who reads everything, but has a special love for good YA fiction.)<br/><br/>I loved Hazel and Augustus pretty much immediately, and the book (which I picked up again after doing my dishes and proceeded to read until I was finished) took my emotions on a journey as wild and unexpected as Augustus and Hazel's.  One thing I love about John Green's books is how they can't be characterized.  His books are always so much more than the sum of their parts.  My husband asked me what the book was ""about,"" and all I could respond was, ""Everything.""<br/><br/>That being said, I did not give the book 5 stars, only because I felt - with all due respect - that it lost track a bit in both tone and momentum towards the end, when the plot grew a bit more contrived than I've come to expect from Green.  I only give 5 stars to books that leave me feeling like, ""This was the best book I've EVER read!"" even for a little while.  I didn't feel that way, but I did feel like I'd been on the rollercoaster with Hazel and Augustus, and I was left pretty much a red-faced, snot-nosed mess.<br/><br/>I adored some of the secondary characters as well, such as Isaac and Hazel's parents, and even the walk-on character of the waiter at the fancy Dutch restaurant.  Drinking champagne will forever be all the sweeter because of him!<br/><br/>I've read quite a few excellent books about living and dying this past year, but none have made me think and feel as much about both as ""The Fault in Our Stars.""</span>"

4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2202NGB6LHJI9?ASIN=014242417X	I hate to say I didn't like it....	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I should probably start out by saying this is the first John Green book I have ever read, and I went into it with high expectations because of how many good reviews I've seen for his novels. That being said, I was very underwhelmed.<br/><br/>First off, I felt the characters were boring, and rather unbelievable. Let's start off with, Hazel the main character. She's a cancer patient....that's it. There's really nothing else interesting about her: she has cancer, she likes to read, she falls in love, that's her whole character. Next we have the romantic interest, Augustus Waters. His name bothered me from the very beginning, it just sounds very...fake. I know that sounds overly critical, but still. His whole ""attractiveness"" felt very forced, and cliche. In the beginning he's just too perfect to be believeable. Plus, there was no build up between them. Their meeting was so rushed it was almost non-existent. I get that it's a short book, and you can't take a whole chapter to do everything, but it literally felt like one minute they are complete strangers and the next minute they are semi-dating.<br/><br/>Also I found the wording to be a little on the pretentious side for a teen romance novel. Quite frankly, I'm not sure who the audience for this book is. The plot is a basic, sappy teen romance type plot, while the wording and references are something you'd expect to be aimed at young adults, maybe college students. I guess what I'm trying to say is, when I read this I couldn't help but feel like this is one of those books that kids in 9th grade read to feel ""sophisticated"" or ""mature"". They tell all their friends how ""deep"" it is, when it really isn't. It only appears deep on the surface.<br/><br/>Anyway, in my opinion the only redeeming quality about this book is that once in a while something sad happens, and I have this weird masochistic thing where I like things that can make me cry. And I did cry maybe 2-3 times through out this book. However, I just can't in good faith recommend this to anyone, unless like I said, you are a 9th grader who likes to feel ""deep"". In which case, you go little hipster kid.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1A8U7HQICCJDP?ASIN=014242417X	Green triumphs in TFiOS	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">In The Fault in Our Stars, author John Green tackles the major questions of existence with humor, honesty, and grace.  The narrator (Hazel) is dealing with a terminal form of cancer and yet this is not a story about dying but rather a story about truly living.  Through the lives of the two main characters Green shows us that we are all in fact terminal, but that we largely decide how to spend our brief moments of life.  Most lives are not triumphs or tragedies purely, but they are filled with moments of both.<br/><br/>I would heartily recommend this novel to a wide audience far beyond the Young Adult crowd.  Personally, I became aware of Green through his YouTube efforts and eagerly awaited this book.  My only regret is that I read it at one sitting, but I simply could not put it down.  A masterful, coming-of-age story.  Wonderful and poignant.  Laughter and tears.  I will definitely be passing this book on to the readers in my life.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2AEQ9HK1GSZLN?ASIN=014242417X	John Green is the literary love child of Nicholas Sparks and Stephanie Meyer	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I first found out about John Green on youtube and was immediately drawn to his witty personality and humor. I found out later that he was also a published author and knowing this made me really want to read one of his novels. I chose The Fault in Our Stars because it happened to be the book he was about to release at the time and I was really excited to read it and excepted to love it, but it was so lackluster and at best mediocre.<br/><br/>The story is lame and the characters are pretentious.  Hazel and Augustus are two very unlikable characters that I didn't even feel sorry about them having cancer. There are also some parts that are lame and even though they're small occurrences I couldn't help but linger over them in anger and complete disbelief that anyone could write this awful. One part is when Hazel returns back home from Amsterdam and her father is waiting for her at the airport and he holds up a sign that reads ""My beautiful family"". He does this among a group of limo drivers that are also there holding signs with names of the people they're going to pick up. If I was a working limo driver that had to demean myself by holding up a sign I would be offended by the guy who was just doing it for fun.  Another part is when Augustus collapses in front of Hazel and she calls 9-1-1 and says to the dispatcher, ""We need an ambulance! The great love of my life has a malfunctioning G-tube!"" NO ONE CARES IF HE's the GREAT LOVE OF YOUR LIFE! Just state your emergency and that's it!<br/><br/>I really don't understand why people cried when they read this book. There is absolutely nothing to cry about.  Their love story is lust at first sight. Hazel thinks Augustus is hot and he thinks she's hot because she looks like Natalie Portman. However, the thing that bothered me the most was how unrealistic and unusual the dialogue was between Hazel and Augustus. The things they would say and the words they would use were far too intelligent and philosophical to come out of a teenager’s mouth. I’m sorry but I’m sure having cancer doesn’t make you wise beyond your years. Sometimes the dialogue felt like Green was trying so hard to seem all knowing and it just came off as arrogant. Then I started thinking that the character’s rants sounded familiar, and then it finally hit me! John Green’s rants in the book are worded the same as his rants on youtube.  He is literally Hazel and Augustus. He put so much of his own personality into the characters that there is no separation between author and character.<br/><br/>I really wanted to like this book but after reading it I finally came to the realization that John Green and his books are way overrated and not worth my time. He even has the audacity to openly mock and harshly critique Stephanie Meyer's Twilight series and writing style when in reality he writes at the same level and created a story no better than hers. I've stopped watching his youtube videos and will not continue with any more of his books.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3MA1TRJKKC00I?ASIN=014242417X	Resonance	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I am not an emotional reader. Hallmark commercials, Disney movies, beautiful songs, but books never really have that effect on me. I read them, I think about them for a few days, and then I let them go. I've never been swept up into the world of a book enough that I feel the triumphs and tribulations of the characters.<br/><br/>Until this book.<br/><br/>I can't accurately describe the life this book has taken inside of me. I read it through Thursday night, staying up hours later than I should have; I woke up three times in the night, heart racing, caught in the emotional impact of the book; I thought about it all through my Friday morning errands and class; I listened to the audiobook (though not in its entirety) when I returned home. Two days later, I am still having a emotional reaction to parts of the book, sometimes out of the blue. I feel like there are these long-reaching aftershocks, and every time, they twist my belly into knots.<br/><br/>Green stated that he'd sought to write an epic in miniature. I cannot think of a better term for this book. It's unlike his others, it's unlike anything I've read, and I am not sure I can carefully set it in one category or another. It is beautiful, it is haunting, it is funny and tragic and overwhelming.<br/><br/>If you are a nerdfighter or simply heard of the hype surrounding this book, believe it with a grain of salt. Believe it with a voice in the back of your head telling you to be cautious. Because the first two chapters we've all heard are nothing like the remaining 23. And all 25 are nothing like Green's other books, but in the best and most wonderful way. I feel like this is the writer Green was meant to be, the one we've all expected to emerge since Looking for Alaska.<br/><br/>Entertainment Weekly picked ""luminous"" as their descriptor, but I would disagree.<br/><br/>My word is ""resonant"", and I am still feeling the afterglow.</span>"

It's very well liked and on every Best Of list there is. I can see and understand why but I'll stand over here in the Unpopular Opinion Isle feeling underwhelmed and disappointed. I'll admit the first time I read it when it came out, I fell for the hype. It wasn't until the second reading did it hit me what this book actually tried to accomplish. I should have left it alone after the first time, and now I'm left cold and kind of mad.<br/><br/>There is a good reason why the words ""pretentious"", ""contrived"" and ""trite"" float around on the negative side of reviews for this book - none of these people, excuse me, CHARACTERS felt natural and real.<br/><br/>John Green is a fabulous writer. His prose is beautiful, clear and imaginative. Some of the quotes and thoughts in this book hit close home and I giggled and smiled because it brought on some interesting memories and personal quirks of mine. His characters are usually the oddballs, the nerds and ""losers"" rising above the stereotype into the shining stars. But Hazel and Augustus did not do it for me one bit. They are sort of empty shells without personality and the only way to make them interesting was to rush them into romance, provide something sad (cancer) and have them quote ton of deep stuff which was so repetitive I skipped many pages. It's the excessive beauty of his prose that completely takes away any realness from the story and the characters themselves. Nothing about them felt natural. Their interactions were nothing but series of pretentious poems, references to indie bands, some quote about something COSMIC and DEEP, books and authors I've never even heard about. John Green is a smart, well articulated ADULT without a doubt. But he tried to translate his intellectualism onto these cancer struck teenagers so hard, they both came off so unreal and corny, I felt no connection to them. Teenagers are NOT 40 year old men, John. The illness is only there to cause an emotional reaction because otherwise you'd be stuck with two HOT, nerd hipsters with NO romantic chemistry and forced into a love story that fell flat. Gus's ""I'm in love with you"" speech on the plane made me roll my eyes. 17 year olds DO NOT TALK LIKE THAT. I hate being manipulated and that's what this book did.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1VPOB7LNLS5GX?ASIN=014242417X	Put aside your resistance, this is worth reading	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I have to admit, even though I'd heard this book was really good, the thought of a young adult novel about teenagers with cancer didn't hugely appeal to me.  My initial reactions were also somewhat less than stellar - everyone talks in a razor-sharp, ultra witty way that feels straight out of an Aaron Sorkin or Diablo Cody movie and not even remotely how any 16 or 17 year old I know speaks.  I feared that it was going to be all style without substance, bouncing along until a requisite tearjearking conclusion.<br/><br/>I was wrong.<br/><br/>This is a book peopled with a group of characters that you really care about.  At its core are the star-crossed lovers, Hazel (with terminal cancer) and Augustus (a cancer survivor).  They meet at a cancer support group and become close, despite Hazel's desire to avoid becoming a ""grenade"" in anybody's life - by which she means someone who will unwittingly cause significant hurt through their passing.  They are fantastically loveable characters, who flit between deep conversations about the meaning of life and finding refuge in video games and reality TV shows.  I loved them both.  Still do.<br/><br/>But the book is more than that.  It's about coming to terms with the fact that your life will almost certainly never rise above insignificance - yes, you will matter to your family and friends, hey maybe even write a few reviews that people like on Amazon, but ultimately you probably won't make any life changing impact on the world.  It's about the way we shrink from people with terminal disease only to laud them when they pass.  It's about the impact that terminal diseases have on the families of those left behind.  It's about teenagers growing up and learning to take responsibility for their own lives, defining themselves by who they are not what disease they may have.<br/><br/>I don't know if there's anything life changing here, but it's definitely a moving, entertaining and thought provoking book.  Pretty hard combination to pull off.  Kudos to John Green.</span>"

Truly, you would think a book review that begins with such an exclamation would reflect how amazing it was. Prepare to be disappointed. I'm a 16 year old girl and considering that I'm within the target audience, found it pathetic and lacking. The entire book is, essentially, a failed attempt to inspire some kind of profound emotional realization that could change a life. I literally cannot put more emphasis on the word failed. If you're into irritating banter, meaningless motifs and mantras, shallow characters and false emotions, this is the book for you. Extremely overrated.<br/><br/>I am completely appalled and find that this sort of literature should be below John Green.<br/><br/>The Fault in Our Stars had me wondering if I should throw this book into the dark abyss of the ocean and watch it sink into a pit from which it could never surface.

I did not find it ""life affirming"" like many reviews have stated.  I found this book to simply be depressing as hell.<br/>Don't get me wrong, I don't need a book to be all roses and sunshine for it to be worth reading....but there needs to be a little light.<br/>Besides that, I just didn't find any of the characters in the books to be very realistic (except for Hazel's dad).  The teens are all way to ""wise beyond their years"" and far too witty.  That's just always a turn off for me.  The author of Hazel's favorite book (I probably should have looked it up) also rang incredibly false to me. Sure he's a drunk....but I just refuse to believe he'd actually be THAT repugnant.<br/>Also, being a gamer, it's a pet peeve of mine when games are presented in an overly phony way....and they never did explain how a blind kid could play.<br/><br/>Anyway, it just didn't hold any value for me.  I wish it had.</span>"

When I got the book I was excited to start reading. Overall I hated the book. It was not well written, the characters were not well developed, the plot line was awful, etc. I felt like this was not a book that Young Adults should be reading. It is more of a ""tween"" book, and even an awful one at that.</span>"

I hadn't been able to find a book that threw me off my feet in a while, and I had all my hope in ""The Fault in our Stars"".<br/>Hazel Grace and August Waters were cute, and their relationship and the way the dealt with their illnesses was admirable. However, I lacked to see why this book was different from any other books about kids dying of cancer.<br/>The writing style was great, but there was something missing for me.

I question whether the fact that the movie is coming out ""affected"" the number of 5-star reviews.  Kudos to the publicist. This book was odd.  I kept reading because I expected some type of amazing enlightenment to strike me.  But no, it was banal, predictable and anticlimactic.  I'm glad I borrowed the kindle version from the library.  I would have been frustrated if I fell for the advertising for this one and actually paid for it.  I hope Mr. Green at least donated a good portion of his profits, for both the book and the movie, to the organization started by the family of the girl who inspired this story.  Otherwise he just made money off of someone else's tragedy.  If you have done so Mr. Green, I commend you.  As for the story, it was sad, but nothing compelling about it.</span>"

1.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1YSQZ9XJ2C1HY?ASIN=014242417X	Ehh..I don't know what all the hype is	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Seriously okay so they made a movie out of this book. BIG DEAL The plot is terribly drab and depressing. I don't know any teenagers who act like the ones in this book and I KNOW a lot of teenagers. The writing was subpar and the use of large complicated words didn't make the story better but made it worse. In spite of my vast knowledge of words and their definitions (I am not a scholar by any means but I do read a lot) I still found myself shaking my head and wondering why he would use certain words where he did. It's hard to express my displeasure with the book as a whole without giving away any spoilers.<br/><br/>The flow of the story and the timeline were also another reason I didn't like this book. If my child who has cancer and is socially awkward met a boy in a support group for other people who have cancer I would be happy that she found a friend. I would not however allow her to head over to this boys house without first meeting him, his parents, every teacher he had ever had, his youth pastor, his pastor and ask for character references from all his friends and the pope. Okay so I'm being a bit dramatic here but you get my point. I'm not going to let my daughter just hop in the car alone and go see a boy she doesn't know and has only met once. Then the rapid pace at which they fall in love. It's not unbelievable considering my own love story but I can't for one moment believe that these two fell in love in the hour they stared each other down in the ""literal heart of Jesus"".<br/><br/>There were other things that just didn't fly with me throughout the story but once again I would be ""spoiling"" it for those of you who are actually reading this review but would no doubt have me tied to the stake and set on fire if I were to give you a spoiler even if I attached a spoiler alert warning in my own blood.<br/><br/>For me it was Ehh....Sure it tugged on my heart strings a bit but seriously if you can read a book about kids with cancer and you don't get your heart a little stomped on then you obviously SUCK.<br/><br/>Happy Reading<br/>Jenn :)</span>"
1.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2SYLCNCC5HRB6?ASIN=014242417X	A book and a film that I'm happy to call my favorite one	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I've read many books, but none were as great as this one.<br/><br/>I've read many books, but none were as great as this one. If you haven't heard of this book, here's a summary in my perspective: Hazel Grace Lancaster, a 16 year old cancer patient, is diagnosed as clinically depressed. Her doctor and parents, her mother mostly, thinks she needs to get out a little more. This means that her mother is pretty much forcing her to go to support group. Relenting, she goes, but has a sucky first day. It's pretty boring to her. But then, a charming boy named Augustus Waters comes around, which changes everything.  Together, they begin to solve a question.<br/>How will they be remembered in future life?<br/><br/>Green wrote a sad, tragic, yet beautiful book. He handles the heavy material in a way that most likely doesn't offend anyone  who might be sensitive to the topics he writes about. John Green knows what it's like to be dying without actually dying.<br/><br/>I would highly recommend that teens, adults, even mature kids pick this book up. It's a book that makes you think differently about life. In my opinion, there's a moral in the book saying ""Don't take life for granted."" or ""Life's too short to live on fear."" I mean, life is too short anyways. By the way, this book is an emotional rollercoaster, so keep tissues handy. You can thank me later.<br/>It's a beautifully written novel about love, life, and death, and it really makes you question yourself. The characters are so madly in love, but it's not in a harsh way. It's not something you'd exactly find hot (but Augustus is *cue creepy winky face*) I've never read a book or spectated a relationship with a connection as strong as the one Hazel and Augustus share.  Opinions may argue on the ending, but maybe it made the characters discover that the whole ending isn't sad. Maybe it was meant to happen, for closure. Green wrote a sad, tragic, yet beautiful book. He handles the heavy material in a way that most likely doesn't offend anyone  who might be sensitive to the topics he writes about. John Green knows what it's like to be dying without actually dying.<br/><br/> P.S. Is there an option for six stars?<br/><br/>Favorite quotes:<br/>""Maybe okay will be our always.""<br/>""I'm on a rollercoaster that only goes up, my friend.""<br/>""My thoughts are stars I cannot fathom into constellations.""<br/>""It would be a privilege to have my heart broken by you.""<br/>(Read the full review at sweetandsassyreviewz.blogspot.com )</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RO3NBGC30ZTE7?ASIN=014242417X	While it didn't emotionally wreck me, I really enjoyed it	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Blog: [...]<br/>The Fault in our Stars by John Green follows the story of Hazel Grace Lancaster, a terminally ill sixteen year-old, who meets the great love of her life at a cancer support group.  Hazel sees herself as a grenade, bound to blow up eventually, and her wish is to minimize the damage; so she keeps Augustus at arm’s length.  Augustus, however, will not be deterred.  This book is a beautiful portrayal of young love, complicated by living with terminal cancer.<br/><br/>I love, love, love the way this book is written.  It’s very intelligent, very clever writing.  It is first and foremost a love story, but offers quite a realistic look at the life of cancer patients (to an extent, but hey, this is fiction).  If this book does nothing else, it will give you a whole new appreciation for every breath you breathe effortlessly.<br/><br/>I adore the characters.  Hazel and Augustus are such unique, interesting characters – as are the supporting characters.  I love Hazel’s relationship with her parents and Augustus’ relationship with Isaac.  This book might have my favourite dialogue ever – I love everything that Hazel and Augustus say; like I said, clever writing.  Is this how the average teenager talks?  Absolutely not; but that's why I love it.<br/><br/>I have to say though, while I know this book emotionally wrecked a lot of people, it did not make me cry; and I had expected it to.  I worried for a while because this book did not make me ugly cry as it seemed to make everyone else do - is there something wrong with me? - but considering I easily get chocked up while reading very often, I have just come to accept that while I loved this book, I guess I just didn't connect emotionally. I have to say that the first half of the book was better than the second half of the book, and I think maybe there was just too much hype surrounding the book when I started reading. Maybe my expectations were unrealistically high. The book by no means fell short and definitely falls under the category of best books I’ve ever read, but the tears just never came for me.<br/><br/>The Fault In Our Stars is a beautiful book I would recommend to anyone who is considering reading it.  TIME Magazine called this book “Damn near genius”.  I would have to agree.<br/><br/>I am just so thrilled this book didn’t end mid-sentence.  You’ll have to read it to find out why…</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R34LZIX6LZJW8E?ASIN=014242417X	What Even	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">(I apologize in advance for my writing.)<br/>As a teenager (John Green's target audience) and having all my friends rave about how good a book this was i said ""why not"" and read it. In a way I'm glad I read it, but so many things were wrong with this book. For starters I felt that Augustus and Hazel fell in love overnight. I kept waiting to see them fall in love… it never came. I thought the two characters were completely one dimensional and i generally couldn't differentiate between the two when they would take. Speaking of which they way they talked was completely unrealistic for two high school age teenagers. I thought it was just a way for John Green to voice his opinions publicly. What really ruined the book for me was the character Augustus. I felt that he was completely selfish and cared nothing for Hazel. I think he he saw Hazel as his prey and himself as a predator. He saw a lonely girl with little friends and thought ""hey maybe I could lose my virginity before I die"" and that all of his actions past their meeting was to get laid. Even when he told Issac to smash his trophies it was because he didn't like basketball anymore and didn't want the trophies. I felt John Green's decision to write it from a teenage girls perspective was a mistake as he is neither a teenager, nor a girl and many of Hazels descriptions did not feel like an actual girl. Overall I'm glad I read it. I felt that he portrayed the fact that no matter what happens life goes on well but his characters where two dimensional and unrealistic (two cancer patients would not have enough energy to do all the things they do in this book and most adults don't use that kind of language). But overall not a good book.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R24B5DUGSBP89H?ASIN=014242417X	I just don't get all the hype	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I was hesitant to read this, but considering its popularity I though it would have some amazing scenes/redeeming quality. It doesn't. I kept reading, expecting it to pick up, expecting it to be worth the time taken, expecting something crazy to happen that made the entire book amazing in hindsight. Again, nothing really happens. The ""romance"" pops up out of nowhere. They talk for a couple minutes and then he asks her to his house. People searching for legitimate relationships can't build them like that! I understand that Green wanted them together quickly to build the story off of, but couldn't that have been a bit more thought out? His writing style was annoying to me with an abundance of run-on sentences and rambling. Every now and then there would be a really noteworthy quote, but for the most part I just got the feel that the characters, and ultimately the author, were just trying too hard.<br/><br/>Now, I don't know how people relate who are actually going through these illnesses. Maybe that's where the appeal comes from. I suggest that, unless you are emotionally close to experiences such as Hazel and Augustus's, you skip this one. It's a rushed romance that ultimately doesn't go anywhere.</span>"

The voices of the two main characters sound IDENTICAL - like the voice of a pompous, self aggrandizing ""author"" which has some delusion about having philosophical insights - which are anything but.  There is not a single ""character"" in this book - just mouthpieces for the author's boring and endless ""wit"" and ""insight.""  Please.  Also, and someone else mentioned this in a review - there is nothing ""love storyish"" about this book.  The author TELLS you they fall in love, but he fails ""tragically"" at SHOWING you how they fall in love.  The characters are two dimensional and annoying.  AWFUL book.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1YZH7D5HN5JVU?ASIN=014242417X	Moving in more than one direction	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I have been a Nerdfighter for a couple of years now, and may be considered biased here, but I do judge books and music by other Nerdfighters on their own merit - and I must recommend The Fault in Our Stars. Not only is it written in a way that makes you think about the characters in the book, it also sheds some light on topics that aren't really discussed enough. Loss of children, and loss of friends at a young age. He has brought up these topics before, but not in the same way he did here. It is a really good sign when someone can have you crying in one sentence and then laughing at the next.<br/><br/>That is what John Green does very well. He knows how to get to the reader (at least if the reader is me). He makes the book moving, but not just sad, or just funny, for that matter. He genuinely has you caring for and rooting for his characters, and though you might be able to guess the next plot twist, the way in which he writes it, the way he uses the language still makes it surprising.<br/><br/>As I have heard some people say - this book should come with a warning label to prevent you from reading it in public places, as you are likely to cry (at least if you are one of those people who cries whilst reading books).<br/><br/>Definitely worth a read (or several). Would recommend buying it so you get it for the weekend, it's a little bit difficult to put down.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RZO192RD5304P?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing novel about the meaning of life and whether eggs should be confined to breakfast	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars by John Green is about a girl named Hazel who is living with cancer. She attends a support group and meet Augustus Waters, and attractive kid who takes an interest in her. Hazel constantly worries about her parents's lives and the lives of her friends, while also struggling each day to just live.<br/><br/>I loved love this book. It was so absolutely fantastic. Hazel and Augustus are great characters, and I loved Isaac too. I literally went from crying to laughing at many parts. The humor was fantastic, and everything was very realistic, although Hazel and Augustus seemed a lot smarter than any teenagers I've ever met.<br/><br/>There's really not much to say. The book definitely speaks for itself. If you've read it, you know how awesome it is, and if you haven't read it, then you should read it.<br/><br/>*SPOILERS*<br/><br/>One of the things I noted early on in the book was Augustus's obsession with self-sacrifice in the video games, which I figured had to mean something.<br/><br/>Augustus wants to mean something to world. He wants to be able to die having left his mark. Hazel, on the other hand, wants to leave as small a mark as possible. She sees herself as a grenade that will harm everyone when it explodes (or rather, when she dies). She tries to avoid loving Augustus because she doesn't want to hurt him when she dies. And of course, it ends up being the other way around. Saw that one coming. But anyway, through Hazel, Augustus learns that it's enough to mean something to someone else, that you don't need to die a noble and sacrificial death.<br/><br/>I need to read this book again, I think. I can't quite wrap my head around all of it just yet, but I know that it was funny and entertaining, but also sad and hopeful. John Green certainly has a way with words.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R11QORM9P3C4VU?ASIN=014242417X	Okay? No, not okay!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">These 1-star Amazon reviews are better written than this book. This book is so overrated! I honestly don't understand the hype! The characters were unlikable and unbelievable. I wanted to pull my hair out whenever they were spouting out philosophy like intellects, but ended the sentence with ""or whatever."" No. Just no. This is not how teenagers talk and adding ""or whatever"" at the end of the sentence just makes it worse. It was like the author had to remind/convince us every so often that they were indeed just your average teenagers... Not!!! I felt nothing for the characters. I didn't like Hazel or Agustus and still have no idea why they fell in love. Don't even get me started on the Van Houten story. Uch! I really did try to like this book, because once I start reading a book, I have to finish it (no matter how bad it is). That's why I'm selective with what I read, because I know I'll be stuck with it until the end. I was confident I would love this book after all those reviews. Boy was I wrong! I actually started dreading my nightly reading routine and made excuses not to go to my bed (my reading spot) in order to avoid this book that was waiting for me on my nightstand. Thank goodness I finished it! I can finally move on with my life!</span>"

1.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2FC29R6LRJ1XI?ASIN=014242417X	A Super Depressing Read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I purchased this book because it seemed interesting and I figured with over 14,000 reviews and a 5 star review, it had to be good right??<br/><br/>Well, I'm sorry to say I was wrong. <br/><br/>1) I found the book incredibly slow and boring. I ended up skimming through a lot of it just to see what would happen.<br/><br/>2) As many other people have stated, the unrealistic dialogue between the two teen characters was so odd, but then the word ""whatever,"" was used often throughout the book to convey that it was teenagers talking, as if that was supposed to make up for the fact that the rest of the time the characters spoke like two old professors.<br/><br/>3) The two characters fall in love so quickly and frankly, I don't quite understand the reasons why. Oh and before Hazel, Agustus also had a girlfriend who died of brain cancer. But he still willingly pursues Hazel.<br/><br/>4) I'm sorry that these two teens had cancer but Hazel was good enough to try to stay away from Agustus at first so as not to hurt him if she were to die while they were together.<br/><br/>Agustus on the other hand, finds out his cancer has spread and that he's going to die but he waits until AFTER they have already fallen in love and have had sex to tell her. He even admits it himself that he was ""selfish"" for doing that but of course by that time, it was too late -- Hazel was already in love and would stick with him NO MATTER WHAT.<br/><br/>5) Knowing that this book was about two teens with cancer falling in love, I knew this book would probably end up being depressing but I didn't count on it being as depressing as it was! It went a little something like this:<br/><br/>Hazel, a girl with terminal lung cancer falls in love with a guy named (Augstus), with a cancer that caused a prosthetic leg, but who was supposed to be in remission.<br/><br/>Agustus has a good friend who Hazel also ends up becoming friends with, and he has cancer of the eye which ends up with him going blind in order to survive.<br/><br/>Hazel is obsessed with a book written by an author who lives in Amsterdam.<br/><br/>Augstus and Hazel fall in love practically overnight and Augustus uses one of his Wishes from a foundation to bring Hazel and her mom on a trip to Amsterdam to meet the author.<br/><br/>Author ends up being a jerk and girl did not get what she came for, which is to find out what happens at the end of her favourite book as it was left open-ended.<br/><br/>But hey at least her and Agustus end up having sex for the first time and then afterwards he tells her his cancer has spread and it's terminal.<br/><br/>Agustus ends up dying.<br/><br/>While Hazel is at her boyfriend's funeral, author who apparently decided to come to America shows up and Hazel no longer wants to hear what he has to say.<br/><br/>Hazel ends up finding sweet letter that Augustus wrote to the Author after he dies.<br/><br/>The End.<br/>---------------<br/><br/>Please don't get me wrong, I felt sad that the two main characters have cancer and I sympathized with their struggles. But I didn't believe in their love. I didn't laugh, I didn't cry, and  I wasn't rooting for them as a couple at all. And believe me I have read a lot of books that have love and romance as the major theme.<br/><br/>Sadly,  this book simply did not make me feel much of anything except depressed.</span>"

I could sit here for hours and tell you that is it perfect. Amazing. Inspiring. Saddening. Hopeful. All in one. But I cannot make you understand what I mean by each of those words. This is book you have to read for yourself. It's a book that makes you cry, makes you laugh, and then cry again.

1.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RU7IBKIFQWIS2?ASIN=014242417X	It made me angry	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">After seeing posts about this book everywhere, people fawning over it and quoting it... I decided to read it. Not a big fan of John Green I started it with low expectations, and I was not only underwhelmed: I was angry about what I read. Painting itself as a realistic look into what cancer is like, and the pretentious writing, not only present in the unintentional charicature that is Gus, but in the general writing, I grew annoyed. The lazy discription of the suppsed ""great"" novel, of which author they pursue, felt like a cheap trick I have read in fanfiction over the years.<br/><br/>It was an over-all lazy, pretentious book which left nothing but a bitter taste afterwards. Personal experience with cancer made this superficial romantization of it feel like a blow to the face. How is it possible that in a support group for cancer patients there is not a single person who has the most common types of cancer?<br/><br/>Hazel felt like a tumblr self-description of a teen girl, and it makes me feel that John Green should step away from social media, and his all too-close contact with people far younger than him, as it appears to have blinded him and given him a false view of what teens actually are like, and how they behave.<br/><br/>As for Gus, whom people excuse as pretentious (embodiedment of the author, possibly), is a cardboard box of a character, a prop. His lines are over the top, they wouldn't be said by anyone without people laughing. He's a charicature.<br/><br/> Not his best book. I do not recommend it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2RS4D90VOIIN6?ASIN=014242417X	Hmm.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">If you want to read a whiny, psuedointellectual, repetitive and tedious book this Summer, I strongly suggest reading ""The Fault in Our Stars"" by John Green.<br/><br/>In this novel, Green seems to have the tenuous grasp on philosophical concepts of a well-read twelve year old and the descriptive genius of an overly emotional 14 year old girl whose pet goldfish died recently.<br/><br/>This is also possibly the only book I have read that discussed, almost exclusively, another (nonexistent) book and conversations with a (nonexistent) author that completely ruins the (already lacking) reality of the story by making a ""genius author"" into basically a drunk version of the somehow snarky-sarcastic-overly-intelligent-but-still-somehow-painfully-under-informed  teens in the novel.<br/><br/>It isn't a story about teens, or even teens with cancer, it's a self-masturbatory work (and not a good one).<br/><br/>On the up side: it is short.</span>"
1.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1MEER54FPI5C1?ASIN=014242417X	A very well written book with sharp and witty dialogue and memorable characters	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This has been a complete blockbuster of a book. I can see why. John Green is a wonderful writer and there are many reasons to love this book. There were also reasons why this book is not for me, and I'll get to that in a bit.<br/><br/>The Fault in Our Stars (love that title by the way) by John Green is a book about Hazel, a cancer patient, who develops a relationship with Augustus Waters, another cancer patient. The way they meet, how their relationship develops, etc is very well done. I loved all the literary references, and the witty dialogue is something I've always loved about Green's writing. The conversations are really sharp, and that was probably the biggest strength of this book. I also thought a lot of the medical talk was very authentic-- and since I'm in the medical field and rarely feel this way when reading a book, that's a big compliment.<br/><br/>And now for my reservations. I know everyone has loved this book and I am very much in the minority with these issues, but hey, I'm a reviewer and this is my honest opinion. I wasn't as incredibly moved overall by the book as most people, likely BECAUSE I am in the medical profession. I think to a certain extent that we medical professionals get rather numb to this sort of thing because we see it all the time and if we were completely overwhelmed by it, we couldn't do our job. I think I was less into this book because it is so much like my life, and I use reading as an escape.<br/><br/>A couple of other minor details. I was a little shocked that a method of cheering up Hazel was taking her to Anne Frank's house. What?! Someone could at least ask her if she was okay with this plan. Second, I'm a little freaked out by how Augustus is attracted to Hazel because of her cushinoid appearance from the steroids she has been taking and how this makes her look like his ex even though in reality, they look nothing alike. That really bothers me.<br/><br/>Overall, extremely well written and I can see why it got all the glowing reviews it did-- it deserves them. But because of my background, this is not my book.</span>"

It's about John Green rehashing tired philosophy from the existentialists to make himself appear intellectual to his child-dominated audience.<br/><br/>The structure of the book is the same as Dog Soldiers by Robert Stone, as it is less of a story and more of characters waiting for a story. The opening (the Literal Heart of Jesus) is the same set-up as Fight Club, with the group counseling, a guy who has his balls cut out, and a character meeting an eccentric character that changes their life.<br/><br/>As other reviews have expressed, every character in this novel is John Green. Hazel is John Green's consciousness. Augustus (who's name is ""cleverly"" taken from Augustus Caesar) is John Green's pseudo-intellectual mouthpiece. All of the parents are John Green's ideal version of his own parenting style. Most of the plot involves Hazel obsessing over an author who has written book about cancer and ended it on an ambiguous note . . . like John Green.<br/><br/>John Green indirectly writes about himself, and it seems he knows little else to write about. He references Fitzgerald and Vonnegut as if he is on their literary level. This narcissism is not in any way earned. He hasn't created a body of work sufficient to the authors he compares himself to. I could leave this paragraph with this idea, but I want to address the issue further. Narcissism, while naturally abhorrent, can be overlooked when the author is offering something of substance or genius. What is John Green offering? Childish paraphrases of philosophy books that are nearly a century old or older. Still, what is even worse is his own pseudo-philosopophical pandering. For example, several times in the book it is marveled at the depth of a character putting a cigarette in his mouth but refusing to light it. It shows the cigarette industry doesn't have power over his decisions. John Green treats this immature concept as if it is a brilliant philosophical revelation. But if we look at the action closer, it doesn't make any philosophical sense. To any mature adult, the cigarette isn't their rival; if you choose not to smoke, you choose not to smoke and life continues. There are bigger issues than if someone chooses to smoke. People who don't smoke (in life, not in fiction) do not have reason to publically display apologetic behavior. Augustus has no reason to make the cigarette industry his philosophical rival; he does so because John Green finds the action quirky. As countless YA novels have proven, quirky sells to the teenage demographic. (This is why Augustus also has a ""goofy"" smile.) The philosophy in The Fault in Our Stars isn't philosophy at deeper examination, it's just marketing.<br/><br/>Both the characters and the plot are shallow. Hazel, who we are thought to relate to, describes herself early on in the book as having no interests in anything besides America's Next Top Model. She is asked to describe herself, and she is incompetent to even think of one adjective. She, however, refers to herself countless times in the novel as ""awesome"" or ""great"" . . . for a reason she can't even figure out. I understand this is relatable to today's myopic female demographic, who has little personality and few interests. I could accept this character on terms of realism, but, let's face it: characterless female protagonists make for no more interesting reading than their real life counterparts make for good spouses. Then John Green introduces Augustus, who is a stand-in for the ""perfect guy"", in that he gives the female protagonist something to live for, because it is implied she had nothing before him, except her favorite book. (As most teenage girls reading this kind of book wish Augustus would come and give them something to live for.) He pursues her for little to no reason (other than she looks like Natalie Portman, I guess). This isn't atypical of today's real teenage male trying to affirm his decision to chase a girl he knows is uninteresting and unintelligent. There is a scene where, in true to life fashion, Augustus tries to pry any sort of commendable personality traits out of Hazel. (After his failure to find anything interesting, he ends up commenting that she doesn't write poetry.) What is unrealistic, however, is that a teenage male would fall ""in love"" (as loose as the term can be used) and take the ridiculous lengths that Augustus does for such a girl. This seems more wish fulfillment for the female demographic than a plausible plot. [SPOILERS] By the point this wish fulfillment reaches its climax, John Green is so out of the spectrum of realism that he has his characters making out in the Anne Frank House while people clap around them. Soon after they have sex and Hazel is described as sensually feeling Augustus's ""stub [leg]"". [END SPOILERS] I can't, as most readers have, ignore this absurd plotting and poor writing.<br/><br/>But who is asking for realism? Apparently none of John Green's fanbase. After the starting point of the two characters meeting, the novel turns into something of a fantasy. This is the most unrealistic portrayal of the thought process teenagers with cancer I've ever read. To put it simply, it's laughable. The only attempts Hazel, Augustus, and the secondary characters make to deal with their own impending deaths seem to be angst and sarcasm. There is no psychological difference between these teenagers and normal teenagers. They constantly spout the existential ""depth"" John Green ham-fistedly forces into their dialogue, but none of them attempt to understand the actual depth of accepting their own deaths. I put like to put emphasis on this because it seems readers of this book don't understand the full extent of what these characters are ignoring. I do not buy for a moment that this is how teenagers react to a medical death sentence. The teenage characters in this book scoff at counseling (which is realistic), but their own scoffs seem to be the end of their thought process on the subject of their own deaths (which isn't realistic in the slightest).<br/><br/>I think it is now time to write about my own experiences with the subject matter. I was diagnosed with cancer when I was 16, and pronounced in full remission when I was 21. I've been through months of chemotherapy. I've sat in children's cancer wards for most of my teenage life. I've waited for PET scans to pronounce if, to put it bluntly, I was going to have a life. I don't think this is the place for me to go into my thoughts during this time. I will say, from my own experience and the experience of the teenagers I've met with cancer, they understand death and do not react to it with sarcasm or petty philosophy. They don't quote Sartre. They're afraid. They're upset and exhausted. They don't act as if everything is fine and lead a normal (if angsty) life as the teenagers in this novel do. They don't have the power to stop their treatments at will, as is a point in the novel. They lose their hair, puke constantly, take shots several times daily in their legs, physically smell like medication, and only have the energy for social interaction perhaps once a week--if it's a good week. I don't recall any characters in this book having difficulty or pain from the port in their chest. None ever complain about the taste of saline that never leaves your mouth. It is to the novel's fault that John Green ""ignore[s] with a grin"" (to quote him) the facts of cancer.<br/><br/>If John Green learned to focus on social realism (as he thinks he does), he would have an interesting stance on story structure. If he would replace the angst and childish musings in his writing with developed prose, he would be decent at technical writing. Every problem this novel (and its subsequent generation) has is one with inability to grow up. It is entirely possible that John Green could be a decent writer if he were to mature.</span>"

1.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3SL6RH6W4BB74?ASIN=014242417X	Worth the Hype	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Five stars.<br/><br/>---<br/><br/>I'm going to deviate from my normal review format when reflecting upon this book. I feel that this novel is more deserving of a mess of plus marks and minus signs, of pros and cons. This review will be half of my opinion, and probably more directed towards the fictional characters of the story, and less towards the nonfictional people who read my thoughts on books. For that, I am sorry that I am not sorry.<br/><br/>If teenage Hazel is anything, it is that she is no stranger to thinking about life and death, though namely the latter. She has lungs that do not know how to be lungs, and though a new medicine is lessening her suffering, she has been diagnosed with terminal cancer. It is at her cancer support group that she meets Augustus Waters, a cancer-free survivor with a prosthetic leg and an interesting take on the world around him.<br/><br/>Hazel and Augustus are the most beautiful couple that I have ever read about. Keeping in the theme of the title of this story, it is the faults of these characters that make them so intriguing, relatable, and completely unforgettable.<br/><br/>Every word, from Hazel's internal thoughts to the pair's dialogue and everything in between is smartly and stunningly written. Each word is no doubt strategically placed by one John Green to make this book flow with undertones of love, haunting, and a strange metaphysical feeling that made me personally feel both like the universe is leaps and bounds bigger than myself and that I am nothing more than a speck in an infinity of lives lived.... But at the same time felt a sense of this life is what you make it, and so you must live today all that you can. Who knows if tomorrow will be your Last Good Day?<br/><br/>Augustus is a boy that I would have felt privileged to know. He shares a lot of similarities with other book leads- sweet, funny, likable. But there's something more to that. He had this intellectual wit and view point that made him seem both quirky and wise beyond his seventeen years of life. He was strong, and romantic (even if it wasn't so subtle). And the extent to which that he loved Hazel is awe-inspiring and heartbreaking simultaneously.<br/><br/>And then there is Hazel. Her thoughts seem so rational and sensible to the point that they at times seem cold. I like that her thoughts follow this darkened pattern with bursts of bright optimism and worth. Both characters just loved each other so harshly and so fully, it consumed everyone around them. Strangers, family, friends- everyone could see just how much the pair cared for one another, and it was lovely. I can't help but to think of an Edgar Allan Poe quote to describe them: ""But we loved with a love that was more than love.""<br/><br/>I am pretty sure that I felt every possible emotion during the course of this novel. I admittedly cried more than once. I got the warm fuzzy ""aw"" feeling that one sees when two old people are holding hands, or when a puppy and a kitten are curled up together in a box. I felt inexplicably happy and laughed, I grew sad and I mourned. I cheered characters on, cursed others, grew angry, frustrated, and confused with their actions.<br/><br/>Now that I have finished reading, I just have this weird sense of.... Well. I am acutely aware of the fact that I am alive. I can feel my pulse in my neck, I am hypersensitive to the breeze wafting towards me from the vent. I just.... Feel.<br/><br/>I must state here, since this is a review, that I am very blessed and fortunate enough to not know anyone who is suffering with cancer. I do have to specify, using Hazel's words, that this book is a cancer book, not a ""cancer book""- there is so much else going on. Because I can not relate to the level of illness and stress in this book, I must say that if you do know someone, this book may be all the more meaningful and heartbreaking to you.<br/><br/>I feel that this is a book that deserves to be read by everyone and anyone who is able to read, and those who cannot should make someone read it to them aloud. Five is the highest number of stars that I can allot, and I assure you that I have found no fault in them.<br/><br/>Thank you to the Christi the Teen Librarian blog for my signed copy of this book.</span>"

The book is so sad, yet so good that I couldn't cry. I almost did, but thinking about the way the story ended and all the love, I just couldn't. I'm fourteen, but very mature for my age. I am what I call a ""readaholic"". I finished this book in one day and two nights. All of these people at my school say how great the book is, and how incredibly sad it is. Only one of my friends said this story had a ""bittersweet ending"". And it truly was. This story is full of so many sophisticated ideas and makes me see death in a completely different way. Those people that said they cried for hours and said they hated the ending, just weren't intellectually mature enough to understand the true meaning of the end. Death means something. You may go to heaven or hell, you may be reincarnated, or you may disappear into oblivion. No one but the dead know truly what happens when we die, and that should be their secret, something for them to hold on to. I always seem to wonder, would I want to go to heaven, or be reincarnated, or disappear into oblivion? I don't know. I honestly and truly do not know. I, like all humans, want to make an imprint upon the earth, but I don't know what my imprint will look like. Will I save lives? Will I become a philosopher, a scientist, a poet, an actress, or an author? I do not know. But that's life. Life is about facing challenges, and figuring out what our imprint will be. This book taught me that. I don't even know if I want my imprint to be that deep. Maybe, I'll be one of those people that change the world by simply noticing things.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R18SHPIV2UZ7UH?ASIN=014242417X	Listen to a John Green interview. This is his voice. Nothing more.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Although the protagonist is a teenager, she speaks like she's just finished a degree in American lit. In truth, the voice is neither feminine nor believable, as it perfectly echoes the real life delivery of John Green in one of his YouTube video blogs. (Green is a nearly thirty-seven year old who just so happens to be an English major.) That the book has such a large following is proof that we have become a society of lazy readers. ""The Fault in Our Stars"" is trite, predictable and at times, pretentious. Sadly, it undermines the value of faith. (In truth, it outright mocks faith.) I cannot imagine this book will have an enduring fan base. It will fall away, as (I believe), will the ""Twilight"" and ""Hunger Games"" series. ""The Fault in Our Stars"" does nothing to enrich the reader or further the art of fiction.</span>"

I believe that the author is very brave for taking such a hard-nosed, reality driven approach to the subject.  Unfortunately, I cannot, in good conscience, recommend this book for the young audience that it seems aimed toward.  The horror of cancer is no excuse for exposing young lives to such language, inappropriate sexual explorations, or disrespectful attitudes.  Parents should really think before handing this book to their children.  Words are powerful, and these could do far more harm than good.</span>"

I have always been confused about the distinction between fiction and young adult fiction, but make no mistake--The Fault in Our Stars is a young adult book.  For me, this formulaic Cancer Story was a bit too contrived.  Is it possible that a teenage girl with cancer would be insightful and philosophical?  Totally.  But would she meet a drop-dead gorgeous, funny, smart, equally-insightful and philosophical teenage guy with cancer who immediately falls in love with her?  Probably not.  I believe Hazel and Augustus would call the success of this highly-predictable book a Cancer Perk.  While I can see why other people LOVE this book, it just wasn't the book for me.</span>"

It's, like, the grass only grows sometimes to see the sun. That's how I feel about cucumbers.""<br/><br/>This book is like pulling teeth. It's pretentious and predictable. Its characters are flat and immensely unlikable, and their every action is recorded. We have pages upon pages of what they're eating and wearing and what kinds of shoes they like and what books they're reading and what movies they're watching--how did this make it past an editor? Also, I don't buy their love at all, it seems incredibly artificial. Oh, and A+ for using the Anne Frank House as a trendy backdrop for your douchey love story. I feel like I'm reading some boring kid's diary, I don't understand why John Green is so highly rated. On the bright side, this is the sort of bad writing that translates very well to the screen, so there's still some hope for the movie. God knows it can't be worse than the book.</span>"

This was probably my least favorite book of all time! I really tried to like this book, because I heard so many ""great reviews"" from friends and family, but, wow, I was so disappointed! The only reason I read the whole thing was because I kept expecting it to get better at some point, and it never did. One of the biggest reasons I disliked this story was because the two main characters were narcissistic, selfish and ""unheroic."" Even their ""love"" for each other seemed so shallow and vain. The boy, Gus, had an ego problem, and I couldn't help getting the impression that he loved himself more than the girl. Also, the girl, Hazel, was sarcastic, emotionally needy, and completely unrelatable. Their dialogue was over-the-top, and consisted of them constantly trying to prove that they were smarter than everyone else on the face of the earth. Also, it seemed like all of the characters in the book had the exact, same personality-narcissistic, big headed, sarcastic and vain. I kept expecting them to grow and develop as characters, but they never did. It was almost as if the author felt like narcissism is an admirable or heroic quality (News Flash--It Isn't)! Also, the very act of narcissism goes against true love, so the story doesn't make sense. Real love puts the other person FIRST, and self LAST. A narcissist can not experience genuine love, because they love themselves more than anyone else. Gus and Hazel were two of the biggest narcissists I have ever read about.<br/>  Another reason I did not like this book is because I didn't like the author's voice. I got the impression that his philosophical views are jumbled and confused, and his views on philosophy are a HUGE part of this book. I kept expecting the characters to come to some kind of an understanding as to what their philosophical beliefs were (because they talked about it constantly), but they stayed confused on this subject and never had any growth. After reading the book, I couldn't even tell you WHAT Hazel and Gus believed. The most I learned is that Gus believes in ""something."" When I read that, I literally went, ""Huh?""<br/>Anyway, I gave this book one star, because I didn't like the author's writing style, didn't like the characters or the story, and I would not recommend this book.</span>"

(Spoiler alert--&gt; Hang in there!)<br/><br/>Like ninety percent of the one-star ratings here, I will tell you that these teenage characters act and speak like anything but teenagers.<br/><br/>Actually, they act and speak like thirty-five year olds with B.A.s in English and Religious Studies -- coincidentally the age and academic credentials of the author, John Green.<br/><br/>The dialogue of a thirty-five year old is very distracting when coming out of the mouths of sixteen and seventeen year olds. The reader is always conscious of the fact that a thirty-five year old English/Religious Studies major named John Green sat at a desk somewhere and typed this dialogue into Microsoft Word.<br/><br/>You want to yell at the pretentious Gus and the girl character (jeez, I can't even remember her name, and I only finished the book yesterday), but it's not their faults -- it's the author's.<br/><br/>To make my point:<br/><br/>Years ago I had a friend and co-worker who was a WWII Navy veteran and an avid reader.

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R22WJN2C2JQTNX?ASIN=014242417X	Teenagers can be intelligent but the ones in this book aren't...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I saw this book pretty much everywhere and was hesitant because of how much hype was around it. Definitely not worth the hype. Another reviewer put it perfectly saying that the dialogue was stilted. A lot of people defend the lack of realistic characters by saying that it's a work of fiction and the John Green was ""pushing the envelope"". The characters were not bizarre and unreal because they were ""smarter than most teenagers"" or ""spoke intelligently for being teenagers"" they were unrealistic because no human speaks like this. However, these things only add up to the one large problem with the book is the fact that it is impersonal. It is about a girl who was somewhat cynical, and trying to be truthful but it had no element of truth. It was a wanna-be ""Catcher in the Rye""esque narrative but it was too safe. It never entered the realm of being relatable and real, it was lacking the rawness that it needed to make it good. Because of this, I really could not enjoy it. I would suggest any of these books/authors as a substitute for this one:<br/><br/>""Black Swan Green"" By David Mitchell<br/>""A Catcher in the Rye"" By J.D Salinger<br/>""The Outsiders"" By S.E Hinton (pretty much all of her young adult fiction is good)<br/>""To Kill A Mockingbird"" By Harper Lee<br/>""Old School"" By Tobias Wolff<br/>""The Great Gatsby"" By F.

1.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1BGJBGZ6U7SB?ASIN=014242417X	Tears rather than plucks at your heart strings	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is a very easy read with an engaging writing style and the subject matter is heart-breakingly refreshing with such an unfortunate yet likeable lead character.  However, the romantic interest in our heroine is so far over the top that it renders the plot ridiculous.  I'm far from being a critic of altruism to the point where I believe the world could use a healthy dose more of it, but this book pushes the edge of belief.  I got 3/4 through it before I hit the Home button and removed it from my Kindle.</span>"

The hype surrounding this book was ridiculous. I gave it a chance, read it all and at the end just stared at the last paragraph thinking, did they really think this was going to pull at your heartstrings like other works that deal with loss, cancer and teenage love? Not at all. This book is trying to be emotionally poignant and yet, I wanted to chuck my kindle against the wall.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2X6QEQVVXL1BW?ASIN=014242417X	Purely manipulative - a trivialization of suffering	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">""Whenever the characters of a story suffer, they do so at the behest of their author - the author is responsible for their suffering and must justify his cruelty by the seriousness of his moral intention."" Lionel Trilling from ""A Gathering of Fugitives"".<br/><br/>This book is purely manipulative. The suffering is trivialized (cliche after cliche - smart-ass dismissive comments about suffering - silly, immature posturing that disrespects real wisdom or insight with it's artificial profundity.) What was this author's ""moral intention""? He didn't have one. What was his ""intention""? To be cute. To sell a book without expending much energy on language, style, and most significantly, insight. Too much work - that -  when the easy platitudes can be found on-line. This book is to literature what McDonald's is too food. It is  neither.</span>"
1.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1G72YSCZLWKIY?ASIN=014242417X	Older teen novel	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I am an elementary librarian.  This title kept coming up on suggested reading lists for me to read and purchase.  I have a K-6 school.  I am always looking for chapter books for my sixth graders to read.  So I purchased the book on Kindle.  Frankly I was disappointed.  The language and some of the content was definitely not appropriate for my students.  I wish I had known that it was basically a high school level book.  The story was okay.  I felt like it was too emotionally manipulative.  I did enjoy the way the title was brought into the story.  I did feel like the characters were true to life.  It just did not measure up to all the hype and high reviews I had read.  Of course what you read and enjoy is always personal and varies with every person.  I could have passed on this one.</span>"
1.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RMO0D2VAXBC76?ASIN=014242417X	Just disappointing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">After reading Looking for Alaska, I found John Green to be an impressive writer with his clever and quirky style and sophisticated subject matter for the audience he was writing for. Then I read Paper Towns, and I started thinking that maybe it was just a fluke. After reading The Fault in Our Stars, though, I was especially disappointed. With all the hype it has been getting, and the fact that it's been turned into a movie, you'd think it would have been one of his better books. But actually, those were just the signs that it was just the right kind of simplistic, underwhelming romance story that audiences have been craving in the past few months thanks to the other adaptations and reincarnations of young adult novels. And sadly, this has been one of the worst books I have read in a while.<br/><br/>The plot is a contrived mess, and the two star crossed lovers, Hazel Grace and Augustus Waters, who are both suffering from their own forms of cancer are just unintersting. They seem to lack anything resembling real emotions, and the only time you are aware they are actually experiencing those emotions is when the narrator straight out tells you that that is exactly what she is feeling at that moment: depression, joy, pain, discomfort, etc. There is rarely a moment where they express themselves beyond their ironic, snarky, teenage selves that could elicit more than a little affection for these characters. So when anything important happens, it just falls flat.<br/><br/>Overall, the book was just boring and a chore to get through. I regarded John Green as a fairly competent writer, but what happened here? I understand the work put into this book, and the people involved as well as with the movie, but that doesn't make it any better of a book. I'm sorry to say that  this is not a book I recommend. And after all this, I feel like I need to reread Looking for Alaska just to make sure that there really does exist a good book by him, or was I just imagining that.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RRVPWVD806SC2?ASIN=014242417X	Bella and Edward have cancer	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I really really wanted to love this book, because really, what kind of heartless bitch could find fault with a story about two terminally ill cancer kids falling in love.  And I believe that it is this same wish that has so many other readers lauding this undeserving book.  Any author who has the courage to attempt to tell a story about two terminal cancer patients has my deep admiration.  Unfortunately as lofty as the aspiration is, the finished product falls short.  The writing is at best, mediocre.<br/><br/>One of the biggest problems I had with the book was that most of the characters are not fleshed out; they are empty and boring.  The ones that aren't flat out boring are weak (the father,) horrible (Peter Van Houten) or not developed enough to elicit a sympathetic response from the reader (the mother, Hazel Grace, Augustus' family.) Frankly, nothing about Hazel Grace was attractive so I didn't really give a rip about her.  As I was reading about this uber cool kid Augustus falling in love with the utterly ordinary girl Hazel Grace, the ""Twilight"" similarity was impossible to ignore.  Like the Twilight story, I was completely unconvinced that either of the males in the stories would fall in love with either of the females.  There was nothing unpleasant about Hazel Grace (Bella), there was just nothing notable about her.  She never registered on the personality detector.  And I am actually amused by people talking about any comedic tones in the book; like Hazel Grace's personality, they never made a ripple. This book was a huge disappointment mostly because of the potential there was in the premise.</span>"

The characters were fake and all the EXACT SAME. All of the ""meaningful"" parts of the book such as the cigarettes and okay were very stupid. I amm quite dissapointed considering the hype.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RITTOKXHP4DI?ASIN=014242417X	Major Hype, Okay Book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read this book because several of my students were reading it and would not stop raving about it.  It is not my regular genre.  I tend to stay away from realistic fiction because, in truth, I don't want to read about something that could really happen, especially when that something is cancer.<br/><br/>The book for me was okay.  Yes, just okay (and not in the ""okay"" that the two main characters kept saying to each other).  The main girl (whose name escapes me right now, which tells you just how much I got into her) was a terminally ill cancer patient who did not want to partake in life because she didn't want to cause others pain when she died.  All of that changed when she met Gus, a cancer survivor, who refused to take no for an answer.<br/><br/>I enjoyed Gus' character a lot because of his carefree ways.  I also enjoyed Isaac and the battle that he dealt with.  I think I resonated more with the parents in the story (maybe because I am a parent and can imagine the heartache of watching someone you love go through all of that).<br/><br/>I just felt that everything felt flat.  The love story did not grab me the way most relationships grab me in stories.  The middle through ending were predictable (and I'm a big fan of twisted shockers).  The character of the author, although comical at times, didn't feel interwoven as well as it could have been.<br/><br/>I know that there will be many teens who wish me diarrhea for lacking in my ability to connect with this story and the ""epic"" (my students' word) love story told.  I just didn't feel it.  I teared up only once, when the girl's parents were telling her how they will carry on without her.  Once! And I am an emotional sap.  If nothing else, that in itself told me that the book was just okay. :-/</span>"
1.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1IWGDKX1E93WZ?ASIN=014242417X	Heart Wrenchingly Beautiful	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I cried for the first time on page 124, and from there? The remainder of the book (which I could have easily read in one sitting - had my kid not needed fed, and bathed) you could hear the following from me: ""Oh. My. Gosh. I Love Him!"" (Or her.) **SWOON** ""No! No! No! No! No!"" and just as regularly? Laughter - typically through my tears.<br/><br/>We could all tell a cancer story, it sucks. But it's true. I don't know anyone who doesn't have one. My best friends little sister. My Grandmother. A good friends father. It's everywhere. And, Hazel is pretty much right. For many of these people, life becomes a side effect of this evil disease. But John Green has made it relatable. Rather than just looking in on cancer from the outside, as I have often found myself, through Hazels eyes I was able to somewhat experience the effects in a more personal way.<br/><br/>One thing that I had me absolutely floored was my ability to get lost in John Green's story lines. This was so much more than just a story about the evil monster that is Cancer. This was a love story, and a very sweet one at that. This was a story about a girl sharing her love for a book.<br/><br/>Now, I know that anyone who read the synopsis - anyone who saw the blurb by Jodi Piccoult - can make an educated guess that this one will have some tears. But this book is about so much more than this. It's about Hazel Grace and her amazing ability to fight, about her learning to live. It is about Augustus Waters and his sweet and amazing personality. It is about their friend Issac and their cancer support group. It is about  the parents of ""Cancer Kids"". It is about a book. And a swingset. (Ok, maybe not a swingset - but the metaphor that John Green throws in at the mid 100's? The most amazing thing I have ever, EVER read.)<br/><br/>In the end? This was my maiden voyage into the world of John Green, and I was most definitely not disappointed. In fact, this may be one of my top ten books of all time. I cannot say how much I loved it. It was sad, it was beautiful, it was romantic. (And best of all? It was real.)</span>"

Remember Catcher in the Rye. That's how 16 / 17 year old adolescents talk / act. Right?<br/><br/>This was unrealistic. Green tried too hard. I saw another reviewer say it was like he made the characters sound like him. If you watch one of his YouTube videos, you will agree.<br/><br/>The cuteness annoyed me. Cancer isn't cute. The characters had cancer, but it only came up when it was convenient to the plot or when he wanted the sorrowful scene.<br/><br/>The mini prologue he ends with ""I made [the story] up."" I found that to be redundant after reading the book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3VTR0MEKF8F9C?ASIN=014242417X	Mother of Tween Girl, read it as part of good parent duties	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I do not typically read books of this nature (with somewhat depressing themes). However, overall I enjoyed it. I will summarize my thoughts for any other parents concerned like me about this book. Grade: B+ / A- (though mostly because my reading preferences tend towards light historical romances). Possible indirect spoilers below, tried to keep them out, but keep it in mind please.<br/><br/>Summary of my thoughts: Good book if unsurprisingly on the depressing side of things, more cursing than necessary (for tween readers) but rides the line of acceptability considering the life altering circumstances involved, sexual content is appropriately negligible (present but brief and not gratuitous or detailed; though at least one (sexual) word referenced I could have done without), somewhat snarky dismissal of religion not my favorite, but not overwhelmingly so, alcoholism is addressed but not in detail, and it does a good job of conveying the intense and genuine feelings between the main characters in a positive and healthy if doomed way, and yes, there are some lovely quotes to take note of.<br/><br/>This book is for an advanced YA reader, hello ""metaphorical resonance"", and if they are in a flurry to read this, I suggest you read this first in order to determine if it's right for your tween/teen; maturity is a must, but it is well written and a worthwhile read. Now I'm off to find a silly or light romantic story to bring me back from the ledge of feelings caused by the book's ending. Good luck fellow parents. :)</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1LK0TZDRYKUSP?ASIN=014242417X	Good concept, poor execution	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Though there are aspects of this book that I liked, overall, reading it was painful.  Too often when writers try to show teenagers struggling with the philosophical aspects of life and death, the dialogue comes across as forced.  Sadly, John Green falls into this trap.  Very rarely do the interactions between Gus and Hazel ring true.  There were many times I wanted to skip ahead so I wouldn't have to continue reading the unnatural dialogue between the two characters.  If he had stuck with the simple moments, this book could have worked.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">You know that feeling how the last food item you eat before coming down with the flu is forever ruined. For me, it's corn dogs and I'm ok with that. I don't feel like it's really a loss that my last corn dog was consumed at age 10.<br/><br/>Now have you ever had that same feeling for a book? I recently discovered that I did with The Fault in Our Stars. Somehow (did I put the book on a hold?) it popped up in my library queue and I read it. For those who don't know anything about the book it's like Twilight, but instead of vampires the kids have cancer. Now I'm not saying the book gave me cancer, but it's not entirely in the clear either. Maybe it planted the seed, I don't know. What I do know is after reading the book I was diagnosed with Leukemia. Now, when I think about the book and characters, my stomach churns as if I'd just taken a big bite of greasy carnival corn dog.<br/><br/>You can imagine my surprise when I was upgrading my sound experience in the living room and I stumbled across the book sitting comfortably on our bookshelf. I forgot that my wife had purchased a copy for a work trip. Twenty minutes after the book was discovered, I walked to the nearest bus stop three blocks away and dropped it off for an (un)lucky bus rider to pick up and read. Goodbye, Hazel Grace and team.</span>"
1.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2Y930BT850D04?ASIN=014242417X	Consumed it!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I'm not certain if this is a teen/young adult book, but as a 67-year-old grandmother, I enjoyed it. My 13-year-old granddaughter told me that she was reading it because a lot of her friends were talking about it. I want to stay involved in her life, so I put in on my Kindle. I read it during a two-day drive.<br/>I found it to be very interesting and informative. I felt I was reading someone's diary. It provided wonderful insight into how a cancer patient feels about how they are treated by parents, family, friends, and outsiders. Taken from a teenager's point of view, I found it enlightening to know that they can feel 'smother love', cynical about their recovery or remission, and yet still hopeful for a 'normal' life of marriage and children.<br/>The personalities of the main characters are well-defined, but subject to change as the story progresses. We come to understand how the parents' feelings affect the daily lives of their cancer-affected children, and how they come to realize that they must let go and let their kids grow.<br/>It is funny, happy, sad, informative, and will tug at your heart. I shall check out the author and consider more of his books, even if he is a young person's author. Interested in how he researched such a complex story-line.</span>"
1.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1Q25ASOVRTXJB?ASIN=014242417X	What is so great about this book?	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I do not understand why everyone likes this book so much! My reading teacher was really pushing it so I read it, but I was so disapointed! I didn't even come close to crying at the end, like so many people promised me would happen. I thought the characters were overly sarcastic, to the point where it wasn't even funny anymore. The writing was incredibly pretentious; it sounded like the author was just trying SO hard to make this a ""modern classic"", but it just didn't quite work. Every other word sounded like the author picked it out of a thesaurus, without actually knowing what it meant. The plot was actually quite boring and cliche, it is honestly just another depressing cancer kid book that didn't even make me cry. The characters were all so completely perfect, and unbelievable, I didn't find myself at all sad when *spoiler alert* one of the main ones died at the end. The best word I can think of to describe this book is OVERRATED.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2MO9I53ZHLMP4?ASIN=014242417X	Exploititive	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">For a book that lauds itself as transcending the conventions of the ""sick lit"" genre, Green's portrayal of terminal illness is one-dimensional overly simplistic.Yes, I do speak from experience. And yes, I know, a youtube friend of his died of cancer and inspired him to write this book. While that's a fine source of inspiration, Green either needed much more research or to pay more attention to said research. I am thinking primarily of his astoundingly insensitive portrayal of caretakers. For those of you who don't know, Hazel's mother is her caretaker, and Green blithely ignores the physical and emotional labor that entails, to the point where Hazel's mom says herself she is ""not technically very busy"". Green, if you had first-hand experience with terminal illness, you know that caring for the terminally ill is often a full-time and demanding job. This is one of many ways in which he fails to accurately portray the reality of living with a serious illness, and it is a slap in the face to the people personally affected by it. When writing about tragedy that affects so many, one needs to tread with caution and respect; Green does neither.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1ZG9X4PZYT5CF?ASIN=014242417X	Fantastic!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars is a beautiful, tragic, funny, and masterfully crafted piece of literature written by one of today's finest authors, John Green. Green explores the reality of living with disease and the nature of fate in the context of the teenage life in his newest novel and does so with an awesome literary prowess that will leave you staring at the page admiring the absolute majesty of how the words form together on the page, and at the same time desperately wanting more. I believe this book to be the best example of his work since his debut novel, <a class=""a-link-normal"" href=""/Looking-for-Alaska/dp/0142402516"">Looking for Alaska</a>, and this is high praise indeed. Like all Green books this book is profoundly meaningful, while also genuinely funny, and of course captures the honest truth of being a teenager (rough edges, cursing, and sexuality in all). If you're a teenager: read this book. If you used to be a teenager: read this book. If you have or had cancer: read this book. If you know someone who has or had cancer: read this book. If you're reading this review: you should probably read this book.</span>"

John has found a way to take the reader on such a beautiful journey through this book...it's really a gift, more than a book. It's powerfully transcendent, in the way that John, through Hazel, can make observations about the human condition that are just so goddamn universal. There were so many moments when I literally said, out loud, ""YES! Exactly."" It's also funny, quirky, and nerdy, as you would expect nothing less from a Nerdfighter. And yes, it's sad, but such a beautiful sadness. I sobbed through parts of the book, trying desperately to keep reading through my blurred vision and dripping nose.<br/><br/>You MUST read this book!</span>"

To such an Amazing book. It's been 3 hours since reading ""The Fault in Our Stars"" , and I am still utterly speechless and awed.<br/><br/>This is not so much as a review, but as a reaction to how I felt reading the book. John Green's Characters are so memorable, I knew them, I felt for them, Their joys, and pains, their struggles and triumphs. I cannot emphasize enough how I feel for the main characters of this book, but as a person suffering from much of the same thing they were, I felt a sense of connection I have never felt with any other book of Fiction. Somehow, Now, I am hopeful.<br/><br/>This book is for the sick and healthy, for the young and old, for the weak and hopeful, To just about everyone who doesn't mind being touched by teenagers, two in particular, Hazel and Gus, who cherished the infinities between Life and Oblivion.<br/><br/>""But there is no shortage of fault to be found amid our stars.""</span>"

It was hard to understand (real teens don't talk the way the main characters do in this book), and it didn't even have a good or MEANINGFUL ending!!! You couldn't really tell they were even in love. They just acted like really good friends.... So there's no romance in this book. John Green should not have written it in a Teenage girl's perspective because girls DO NOT think the way Hazel did. It was unrealistic and very disappointing. I was expecting this to be the best book ever because of all the hype. With the movie coming out soon, I hope they don't base it totally on this book. Yes, I'm glad I read it, but I never will again. It SUCKED!!!</span>"

I read this before it exploded among the public and snagged a movie release and didn't find myself impressed with it, yet gave it another shot after the hype and stellar reviews...maybe I missed something, right? Nope. I found the characters as pretentious and bland as ever, with no depth to their relationship other than ""hey, we both have cancer and hate the support group"". I found the writing and language boring as well, almost as though it was something written for a high-school short story contest...and it didn't win. I usually dislike giving poor reviews, however, it almost agitates me the type of hype that this book is receiving. I suppose you could just consider this a rant.</span>"

She loved this book, and I guess I was looking for a way to feel closer to her even though she's now gone.<br/>I wasn't expecting this book to really speak to me the way that it did. All of the thoughts and feelings that Hazel Grace had in the book were related to how my sister's situation felt to me. It felt just so surreal that someone could capture how my sister's death was making me feel when I myself could not find the words to describe it. It made me finally cry the tears that I had been holding back this whole time.<br/><br/>God...I miss my sister. I'm heartbroken that she's no longer here, but now I have a book to reach out to whenever I miss her too much.<br/>I love you, Muriel. I always will.</span>"

This is a good read, a fast read, and a nice story. But it is not a revolutionary work of art. It reads like a poorly researched cross between ""my sister's keeper"" and an episode of ""the OC"" written by Nicholas Sparks. The plot ""twists"" made themselves obvious miles in advance.<br/><br/>I liked the characters, kind of, and read it in two days. So there's that. 3 solid stars. Points were docked for the tired plot and terrible understanding of cancer and how it works. Points were also docked because it's cheating to write a novel about kids dying of cancer. Nobody can come right out and tell you how mediocre of a book it really is. If it was a movie, it would have to win an oscar just so nobody would get offended.</span>"

I dreaded reading the last half of this book, but was surprised how abruptly and improperly it ended. Still, I was thankful it ended.<br/>But I am happy for John Green and his success with this novel, as I would be for any writer.<br/>This could've been a far, far better book, and sold only a handful of copies. Instead, it is a mediocre book--at it's best--and has sold hundreds of thousands. Bravo!</span>"

It is beautiful and tragic and honest and funny and brilliant. I am not ashamed to say that I cried, and I rarely cry at novels.<br/><br/>I feel like the characters might laugh at me for crying; for feeling so much for fictional characters.<br/><br/>I'm not going to describe the book other than what I knew about it when I first picked it up. It's about 16 year old Hazel, who has cancer. I think that by not knowing anything more about it, it made the book better. I didn't read reviews because I didn't want to know anything until I could read it for myself. I made the right choice.<br/><br/>The Fault in Our Stars is a beautiful, heartbreaking, stunning novel.

I could not finish it. The first chapter was rude, the kids can't speak proper English (like...I have cancer) and the whole thing is a liberal cliche' from the get go. I stopped only a few chapters in. I've never stopped reading a book this early. The fact that this book is a no. 1 seller only reflects the low-level intellect of this country. Americans feed on Twilight, 50 Shades, and this? Pathetic. HORRIBLE and disrespectful. Please do not buy or read this book. You will thank me later.</span>"

The topic is cancer, and so we can't say how truly dreadful John Green's writing is? Oh my gosh. He is not Faulkner, Hemingway, Jack London. He's not anything but a guy capitalizing on our fear of disease. I can't believe all the people fawning over him as if he is the Messiah, or the Buddha. He's not. He's a guy making millions. Have you heard of Love Story---did the same thing. Made people weep over cancer and love.</span>"

Generally, because I read so much, and write so much, I'm slightly detached from any situation in text. I may tear up, but it doesn't have enough behind it to warrant the tears. I read this book in 2.5-ish hours, and and probably one of those hours was spent earnestly laughing through my earnest tears. The words are real, and well put together, and very much felt as one reads them. They suck you in, so you think that some real person is telling their real story. I'm still shaking.</span>"

2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3HZAQK7VT4V0W?ASIN=014242417X	Holt McDougal. Just... Holt McDougal.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is excellent, Holt McDougal is an excellent author! I have read all of Holt McDougals books. Some of my favorites include ""Party Time In Your Pants"" and ""The Adventures Of Candy In Your Pants"". He wrote Party Time In Your Pants at a very vulnerable time in his life while he was up in Canada looking for Alaska and you can really feel that emotion in his writing. There is an abundance of Katherines also spread out in his writing, probably because of his intimate relationship with (now passed) Katherine McDougal who was legally his sister.<br/>This excellent sequel continues the adventures of Candy in the paper towns that were created by Mrs. Manlove (also now passed). Candy meets a young boy called Grayson. The real question this book asks it's young reads is Will Grayson... Will Grayson finally find love? I'm sorry that was hard for me to type. It just makes me so emotional. That question is answered in this text in a very satisfying way, with his frankly gorgeous style of writing I have no doubts that Hold McDougal is the only one who could have pulled this off. At the end of the book there is a very beautiful moment where Candy Stripcakes announces ""Ah heck. Let it snow!"" and I think that about sums up this review. In the words of Candy (Holt McDougal) Let it Snow! And may the Zombiecorns never win the war for banks island.</span>"

I picked it up without knowing what it was about, and I was instantly hooked. Hazel is a snarky narrator who falls in love with an equally snarky guy, and they both make this book grimly funny. It's obvious John Green, the YouTube personality, wrote this book...in a good way!<br/><br/>There is one slow part towards the middle, and it is predictable, but it's an easy read and something different than I'd ever read before.  If you enjoy young adult lit, you'll like this book.  If you can, try the audio book!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1KX8AC7QW9UD2?ASIN=014242417X	Will Not Disappoint	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">It would be so easy to give this book a five-star rating that had no meaning.  John Green is a very interesting man who, outside of this specific novel, does wonderful things to teach, entertain, and decrease world suck.  I will admit I was very tempted myself to give his most recent novel, A Fault in Our Stars, a five-star rating because of this, because he deserves it.  He went to great lengths to make sure that each of his readers had an untainted reading experience, which I appreciate and really did improve the experience of reading it for the first time.<br/><br/>""But,"" you think to yourself, ""you did give the book a five-star rating.""  Indeed I have given the rating the book alone deserves.  This book has absolutely outdone all of the, admittedly high, expectations I had.  I don't want to go into detail about the specific things I loved about The Fault in Our Stars because it seems almost too personal to share in a book review.  The things I've taken away from this book are the sort of quite lessons and insight that you carry with you and talk about to your close friends deep in the night.<br/><br/>The Fault in Our Stars is not a tear-jerker in that it manipulates your emotions to find purpose, but it brings tears to your eyes for the sheer beauty, ugliness, pain, joy, unfairness, triumphs, and pitfalls.  I spent most of the time reading this book in tears, I think tears of mourning lives left unlived and the great injustice disease is.<br/><br/>I feel that until now I did not understand, outside being aware of the abstract idea of it, that another person's existence is as real as mine.  John Green has done me the great favor of making this important fact vivid and real to me.  I cannot recommend this book enough.  It is absolutely wonderful and I thank John Green, Esther Earl, and all of the individuals who came to have some influence on The Fault in Our Stars' success.  Not a monetary success or in fame for the author, although those are sure to come, but a success at being real, being loved, and teaching me to be a better person.</span>"

And I'm not going to lie to you and say it's all sunshine and roses and daffodils, but you could probably guess that much. I've always been a huge fan of John Green and was overly excited when I received the book in the mail. I couldn't put the book down and finished it in about 4 hours. It's been about 3 days since I finished the book and it's something that I can't stop thinking about. I just keep going over the details in my mind. The book is an excellent one and I highly recommend it to everyone. DFTBA.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R227Z19PJFSTW9?ASIN=014242417X	Horrible book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Everyone is entitled to their opinion, right? Quite a few people suggested this book, to my daughter, to read. I purchased it for her birthday, and she was super excited. She read it, over the next few days, and then came to me, saying how much she hated it. It is not an appropriate book for children under 18, and from the bits, and pieces I read, and from what my daughter told me about it, I wouldn't waste my time reading it.<br/>There was a lot of strong language in it, and moments of teenage intimacy. It is basically about dying children having sex. If you are into that sort of thing, you will love it, if not, you might want to avoid it.</span>"

I laughed, cried, smiled, sighed...And sometimes all of that happened at once. This book is something special, no matter how trite that may sound.  This book touched me. And it feels like the very best gift.<br/>The characters are lively and fresh.  The story line, which should be utterly depressing, comes with a lot of hope and inspiration.  The dialogue is fantastic...<br/>I cannot say enough good things about TFiOS. I cannot come up with adequate words to express what this book means to me.</span>"

I can't help but say those trite words, ""It made me laugh.  It made me cry.""  There was alot of crying and even more laughing, but the crying was completely heart-wrenching.  There was a bit of time that I was not sure that I would be able to finish the book over a single line that was just too hard for me to read. I have never felt that strongly about a sentence in my life.<br/>Now, I have to say that I have a special bond with the subject matter because I am the mother of a cancer survivor. He is 13, almost 14 and has been NEC (No evidence of cancer) for a very long time. But the fear never goes away.  It lives in a part of your mind that you try not to notice.<br/>I cannot say what the sentence was, because it would be a spoiler and above all I want people reading this review to read the book.  So no spoilers, but the sentence is at the top of page 112 and it was said by Hazel's mom.<br/>So, please read this book.  It is not only good, but important.  It is hard to find books that are both these days.  The subject matter is true, engaging and terrifying...it will make you laugh, but it will also make you cry. DFTBA</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R17N2QZYFBRRTN?ASIN=014242417X	Emotional rollercoaster in the end but not worth the $10	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I have been waiting to have the money to buy this book because it had so many great reviews. I heard that it was fantastic but I don't know what makes it fantastic. The only part I felt connected to was the part towards the end and it was touch and go. I really feel like I wasted $10 and now it's $4. Very upset by that but what can you do, nothing. Back to the book. I read a lot of books in every genre but this was very difficult to understand and poorly written. Teens were talking like grown people and grown people were talking like teens. It felt forced like someone chose a tough subject to write about and everything else was just thrown in to fill up pages so a book about a very sympathetic issue could be sold. Was there a romance, I don't know because it never peaked. I think the great reviews are from people who haven't read any good authors yet or are just being sympathetic about the issue of cancer. I have family who have died from cancer so yes it is a touchy subject for me but this book, any book, should make you feel something, John Green's The Fault In Our Stars, did not. It's so sad because there is potential to educate people on this subject being a known author, but he didn't do that and it's just sad.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1BD924ZYE7I1Q?ASIN=014242417X	Really wanted to like it...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I had read/heard such great things about this book and was so excited to get started. The excitement quickly ended, though, as I really struggled to both finish the book and connect with the characters. While I could excuse the ""beyond their years"" language as I do believe kids in these types of situations are forced to grow up so much faster than the average child, I found the love between them hard to believe. It really felt forced and unrealistic, especially given the limited contact the two of them had. And overall I felt that the book didn't have a good flow to it - the story was choppy, the characters were undeveloped and the story just never quite captured me.</span>"

I am so glad I checked it out of the library through my Kindle instead of buying it. I did not like this book at all.<br/><br/>While the topic of cancer is not a joke, I felt that in this case it was used to pity the characters.  There was nothing believable about the ""romance"" between the two main characters.  By the middle of the book the ending was clear and predictable.  I do not understand how this book got so many great reviews, I just don't see it.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3T8T4ZNHBOI8Q?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in our Stars review	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Cancer patient Hazel Lancaster has been treated for cancer for as long as she can remember. She attends a support group where she dutifully shows up. Then she meets Augustus Waters. Gus also had cancer and he loves Hazel for who she really is. In this story, two terminal cancer patients fall in love and face important life questions like where we go when we die and how we can enjoy life while we are still able. As Hazel puts it, “I cannot tell you how grateful I am for our little infinity…You gave me a forever within my numbered days (Green 215).”<br/> This book did have some good themes, but overall it was remarkably unsatisfactory. The title, “A Fault in Our Stars,” gave some insight into cancer in today’s society. It plays off the theme established in Romeo and Juliet. When the stars are crossed, nothing good will come out of it. Green also did a good job addressing major questions that teens have in regard to death and dying.  These questions include where we go when we die, what people remember about us, and the impact we have on the world. Ultimately, we will never be remembered, even if we want to be. Gus found this to be true. I have read many fiction books and novels; however, this does not qualify as a well written book. It uses casual language which people use every day, making it harder to read because we all hear these wearisome, unexciting words often. It also uses a lot of swearing. Swearing can be good in some cases to characterize someone or illustrate a point, but Green uses too much of it for no reason. Another major dilemma I have is the fact that no one in real life would act the way Gus and Hazel do. What teenager is going to be totally obsessed with a weird book, meet the love of his or her life at a support group and fly half way across the world with them to visit a drunken author? Obviously, Green’s plot is not realistic.<br/> Though this book has some good themes and ideas to demonstrate, it is severely lacking in skillful writing, language choice, and probable plot events. So I would say that although this book might have some relevant topics, pick something else on the shelf. You can do a lot better.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RRMNY2AXOH1ES?ASIN=014242417X	A Star Not Without Its Own Faults	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Thankfully I don't have to be the guy that gives a rotten review to a book about two kids with cancer. I was teetering, but then the author pushed me over to the mostly happy-happy side.<br/><br/>Everything started amazing; I relate well with macabre gallows humor. When you've knocked on death's door and have seen the priest standing over your hospital bed, a bit of morbid humor gets you through.<br/><br/>Then there was the trip. They had to go somewhere, right? They couldn't just sit in the basement and play video games for the whole book, could they? That whole trip seemed out of place and unrealistic to me--until I read the author's acknowledgement to the Dutch Literature Foundation, thanking them for the two month stay in Amsterdam. Ahhh.<br/><br/>Speaking of unrealistic, I have trouble believing a 17-year-old video-game-playing athlete would have nearly the same vocabulary as a 16-year-old study-at-home, read-all-the-time, collegiate student. I get it; he's smarter than the average hunk, but some of the words he came up with were the author's indulgence.<br/><br/>And one more nitpick: I don't believe a flight attendant would pour a 16-year-old a drink, even as a Cancer Perk on a return flight from Amsterdam.<br/><br/>As for the author: he's smart. You can tell he is well read. And not only that, but he is well-versed in today's internet terms (he has over a million Twitter followers and a popular YouTube channel). This all plays out in very believable verse (aside from the notes above). The narrative is catchy and modern, which helps pull the reader into the story--making you feel like this is taking place today.<br/><br/>I was also impressed in the author's research, not only around cancer, but in blindness and limb loss.<br/><br/>Overall, the story was a fantastic read: emotional; thoughtful. It would have been an easy five stars if not for the critiques above.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3L71DC398JY8M?ASIN=014242417X	Enjoyed, but not sure what all the hype is about??	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I think when you read a book that everyone LOVES, sometimes expectations are not met.  Maybe its better not to read too many glowing reports?  If you don't love the book as much as the others, you begin to wonder what you have missed!!!<br/><br/>That's the case here.  I liked the book.  It was a different story of 2 teenagers who have cancer and their relationship with each other and those around them over a period of time.  Hazel was a deep thinking teenager with some fight about her.  Augustus was a bit too pompous for me to really enjoy the character....but there seemed to be lots of forced witty dialogue that I couldn't imagine teenagers speaking like that?  In that sense, it all felt a bit contrived.<br/><br/>As for recommending it?  I can't.  It just didn't hold my attention or make me want to turn every page to see what would happen.  I don't regret the time reading it but I forgot a lot of it, the minute the story was ended.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R269VE5OS7P2S5?ASIN=014242417X	Heart-breaking and beautiful.....	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Where do I start with this book?  I've been a John Green fan ever since Looking for Alaska, a book I desperately wish that I'd written.  Now comes another one that I wish I'd written, but I will have to content myself with writing about it.<br/><br/>I won't bother with telling you the plotline - you can read the book description for that.  Instead I'll tell you what this story does for you -or did for me, anyway.<br/><br/>The Fault in our Stars takes you apart slowly, lays all the pieces of you out, mixes them up, then puts them back together in a different order. You come out of this story a different person, a little sadder, a little more joyful, and a whole lot soggier.<br/><br/>This is the only time I've cried for the entire last two-thirds of a book. By page 117, I was sniffling.  By page 199, I was leaking tears.  From page 204 on, I was a quivering wreck.<br/><br/>Lest you think this book is a downer, just know that the weeping comes with equal parts of cheering and laughter as you root for Hazel Grace and her true love Augustus. They are two of the bravest, most likable protagonists to come along in a YA book in a very long time. The emotional weight of the book comes from the fact that we really love these two kids and are hanging in there with them the whole way.<br/><br/>If you want to go on a profound, life-changing journey, read this book. If you want to fall in love, read this book.<br/><br/>Dang it all, just read this book.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2KUMSUD1KK5MJ?ASIN=014242417X	If Edward Cullen had Cancer	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">In selecting this book I wanted my heart to be touched.<br/><br/>However, as my fellow one-star reviewing predecessors have said, ""The Fault in Our Stars"" is pretentious and annoying. It is characteristic of what sells on today's homogenized bookshelves - a ""charming"" male lead (contrived completely of his ability to formulate sentences by his use of overlooked adjectives), and a cookie-cutter female lead who does nothing other than exist. We've seen this before. Many times.<br/><br/>The story opens with some sense of intrigue, yet as it progressed I found myself becoming uninterested with Hazel and Gus's cliched romance. And as the inevitable approached, I actually found myself wanting to put the book on the shelf, forget it, and move on. Yes - I was so unattached to either character that I didn't care who died or when.<br/><br/>And that's what brings me to to this: In selecting this novel we quickly come to know the basic plot. Therefore we set our hearts accordingly. We hunger a fantastic revelation that will make us walk away feeling refreshed and eager to pursue our life in its fullest capacity. Yet, ""The Fault in Our Stars"" does not deliver what is expected. And you walk away upset to your computer, venting to Amazon hoping that another poor soul like yourself doesn't fall into the same money-making trap.<br/><br/>In short, this novel is a fantastic read when in the hands of the proper audience. Lest we forget, we all enjoyed ""The Catcher in the Rye"" as teenagers but later came to find ourselves cringing at the antics of Holden when we revisited Salinger's masterpiece as adults.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2IK5U1NWR7T69?ASIN=014242417X	Maybe the 5-star reviewers read a different book?	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">In spite of my reluctance to read about cancer, since my mother died of it just over 1 year ago, I took a chance anyway.<br/><br/>I really wanted to love this book, and after having read the thousands of glowing reviews, I was sure it would be so...Well, turns out I couldn't disagree more with the 5-star reviews.<br/><br/>Hazel and Augustus are not especially endearing or even likeable, even though they are youngsters with cancer. I repeat: youngsters with cancer. And yet they did not manage to move me at all. I've never met any teenager that speaks like them, even if some of their ideas were colorful and deep. But seriously, most of the time their conversations felt like I was being fed pseudo-philosophy by the author. I understand many were shocked by the speed with which they started their relationship and then jumped into bed, but in all honesty, when you know the clock is ticking you can't really afford to waste time, so that wasn't really an issue for me. Their parents, on the other hand, were great characters and extremely relatable. Van Houten, well...let's just say I don't know if his character helped or worsened the whole thing.<br/><br/>Maybe the fault is mine, because I thought the characters were going to walk us through what they were feeling - both physically and emotionally - and how they faced their impending death. Instead, all I got was another teenage love story, which would've probably been fine had I not had these wild expectations about the seriousness of this book.<br/><br/>That's why I don't understand the hype. Seriously. Every time I decide to take a chance on a best-seller I end up disappointed. If this is what the best-seller list is all about I want nothing to do with it. And since this was my first experience with John Green, I don't think I'll be giving him a second chance either: trying to jerk tears out of the readers with a pitiable love story is not writing - it's called manipulation.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2BGA374SLLFYN?ASIN=014242417X	I didn't love it like I thought I would :(	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Originally posted on my blog: www.book-scents.com<br/><br/>The Fault in Our Stars is something I've put off reading for forever. The subject matter scared me! Kids and cancer. That is a recipe for heart aching disaster for me and for my heart's sake, I put it off. However, with the movie coming out and all, I wanted to read it before watching it. I mentally braced myself. I started reading, preparing to have my heart ripped out.<br/><br/>Now, I don't know if it was the hype or the fact that everyone touts it as a masterpiece, amazing, life changing and all that but... I feel like I didn't have that same connection with it that everyone else did. Which is kind of disappointing to me. I feel like I need to inform: I cry easily. Very easily. I get emotionally invested in all books or movies and I cry during them all the time. I expected to cry. I teared up but I didn't have the gut wrenching sobs I thought I'd go through. I'm not heartless I swear!! The story was sad and touching but I felt disconnected from it.<br/><br/>I think one of the main things that made me feel the disconnect was the dialogue. I realize that Augustus Waters is supposed to be witty and funny and clever and everything but I just can't imagine a 17 year old boy talking the way he does. 17 year olds just don't spout eloquent monologues on the spot! Or even craft them ahead of time as beautifully as he did! It just didn't seem plausible and sometimes Augustus and Hazel's dialogue just came off as pretentious to me. Don't get me wrong, Hazel's snark made me smile but most of the time I found myself tilting my head to one side and thinking, ""really? did this speech just happen?""<br/><br/>I can practically see the mob coming for me now. *hides* Granted, there are amazing quotes from this book. They're poignant and insightful and I love it -- but it really didn't seem natural coming out of a 16 and 17 year old.<br/><br/>Maybe the dialogue was what took me out of the story enough that I didn't cry. I'm not sure. I don't know what it is. The story was sad to be sure but this book didn't leave the lasting impression on me that I expected it too.</span>"

If you judge how good a book is based on how often you think of the story once you are finished, then you could consider this one a winner.  For me personally, there was a lot of hype for this book, so I went in with high expectations.  While I found the characters had real to life attributes and attitudes, I also found their outlooks very different than expected.  Maybe that is part of the draw of this book, it is the epitome of  the unexpected in this reader's opinion.  Hazel and Augustus are a rare pair and an unlikely match in some ways. They just ""get"" each other and there is the element of understanding that probably no one else could even get close to in their situations.  It was refreshing in a way to view their unique perspectives and it really made me ponder about the tough subject of cancer and how it really affects people. So why did this reader not give the book five stars?  Ah, well I hate spoilers and I refuse to put one in here.  Just suffice it to say that while I understood why the book ended the way that it did,  but it completely frustrated me!  Also, I was not understanding at all of ""the universe wants to be noticed"" instead of any direct reference to God, a supreme being or an after-life. Personally, that sucked all the hope and comfort out of a terminally ill cancer patient's future.  Don't we all need hope and something to cling to, like faith?  Even if you aren't a person who is Christian, most people believe in some type of an after-life and the fact that Hazel really doesn't believe in that at all, bothered me to no end!  Everyone NEEDS hope!!!!  Rant over, you will have to read it for yourself and decide your own thoughts.  I believe that the story will draw you in as it did me, and perhaps you will appreciate the ending more than I.<br/><br/>Rating:  Language and teenage sexual references</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1S3986HW900PY?ASIN=014242417X	Disappointed Mom	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">****POSSIBLE SPOILERS****<br/>After a lot of thought, I think I have nailed down why I was not blown away by this book. I read it because my young teenaged daughter wants to read it, and I always try to know what she is reading. I also had been told how awesome the story was by adults in my life. Please keep in mind, that this is how I feel about the book and I am in no way trying to say that no one should read it (everyone should read what they want and then make up their own mind) or that if you loved it, as an attack on you.<br/><br/>First I will say why I gave the book a generous two stars:<br/>1. The pace was good and didn't drag-that helped me get to the end a lot faster.<br/>2. I loved it when Augustus' parents wouldn't let them watch a movie in his basement.<br/><br/>Now for why I was so disappointed:<br/>1. The characters' development was non-existent. I never connected with Hazel nor Augustus. The fact that they had cancer was almost an after thought; and the struggle, arc and growth that you would expect from a plot with two teenage cancer patients was just not there. I also feel like we were never even given a chance to get to know their families either. The supporting characters were more like stage props than the SUPPORT that a supporting character provides a story.<br/><br/>2. I figured out the dramatic/""traumatic"" twist of the story half way through. Not only did I figure it out, but when the scene happened, I found it to be very ANTI-climatic.<br/><br/>3. Language...I am adult and when I read an adult book, I am totally prepared for language. This is advertised as a teen/young adult book and let me remind you that one reason I read it was to see if it was appropriate for my daughter to read. I don't necessarily mind when a book meant for teens has one or two little profanities, especially if it is in the correct context of the situation the character may be facing; but the language in this book is ridiculous. There is no good reason for the majority of the cussing other than to have teenagers cussing. Ironically, the one instance that I DID NOT have a problem with is when Augustus drops an f-bomb. It fit the scene and what his character was experiencing in that moment. Now, I am in no way saying that it is RIDDLED with profanity, because it isn't. I just didn't see the reason for the cussing that IS there. To me, it had no purpose.<br/><br/>4. The pain didn't seem real. Cancer, and especially cancer in children is a horrific thing to contemplate. I never felt their pain, their fear of dying, there anxiety. That the fact that either one of them could die soon was the reason for their utterly fast and all engrossing relationship was not communicated well. The cancer was made to be more of an annoyance and the parents of the children with cancer especially so. I HATED how Hazel and Augustus treated their parents' concern for their wellbeing and how their parents were written to be these blubbering, annoying individuals with no depth. I was especially disappointed in the idea of ""cancer perks"". Even if that is true, the fact that Augustus at one points acts like he thinks it is ridiculous in one part of the book, only to manipulate people with it later in order to get what he wants (like champagne on a plane) really got under my skin.<br/><br/>So, there it is. I am sure that most people wont like my review because they love a book that I don't, but that's ok. I don't expect everyone to love the books that I do and that's just fine. That is what makes people and people who write about people so special. If we all liked the same things, there would be nothing left to write/read about.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RPFMB9DINM0II?ASIN=014242417X	two 5-star reviews	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Chrissy's 5-star review<br/><br/>Did I enjoy this book: This is one of those books that I have been wanting to read for quite some time. I am so glad that I took the time to read it. It was unexpected.<br/><br/>I heard a lot of great things about this book, and I was worried that I wouldn’t like it or that it wouldn’t live up to the hype. This book was as good as everyone had said. It lived up to the hype.<br/><br/>Okay, let’s get into the book. I thought The Fault In Our Stars was very real, gritty. I couldn’t imagine being that age and facing my own mortality. The kids–Hazel, Augustus, Isaac–they didn’t sugarcoat anything. They were real, bitter, upset, trying to fight. I enjoyed that. It made me connect because it seemed more true. I rooted for them throughout the book. It wasn’t rooting for a longer life, although that was part of it. I was rooting that they got the chance to live life.<br/><br/>As I was reading, I did something that I hardly ever–more like never–do, I skipped ahead. I read parts and found out what was going to happen. Not because I didn’t know what was going to happen, but because I wanted to be prepared for it. Not that you can ever truly be prepared for death and dying. I just needed to know ahead of time. Seriously, I don’t do that. When the final Harry Potter book was released, I avoided the news, internet, people, etc. until I read it. I like to be surprised by books. I like to find out the story as it unfolds. With The Fault In Our Stars, I couldn’t wait. I had to know.<br/><br/>This book isn’t all sad all the time. It is romantic; it is sweet. There were a lot of wonderful laugh out loud moments. This surprised me, but didn’t. I would think that when you are going through something like this, you would need to find something humorous. Something to make you laugh. I loved Hazel’s friend Kaitlyn’s line about Thin Mints. That cracked me up. The egging was hysterical, especially when the mother came out of the house.<br/><br/>These are the words that sum up The Fault In Our Stars for me: real, funny, sad, thoughtful, sweet, romantic, angry, tragic. This is a book that I will probably read again.<br/><br/>Would I recommend it: Yes.<br/><br/>Belinda's 5-star review<br/><br/>Did I enjoy this book: Yes. Amazon recommended it to me based on my reading choices. It looked interesting so I bought it.<br/><br/>It’s kind of creepy how well Amazon knows my taste in books. The Fault In Our Stars is a beautiful and poignant story of teens battling cancer.<br/><br/>It’s the kind of book where the bad guys win in the struggle between teen vs. cancer. It’s a sad book but one worth reading. Green takes you on the journey with Hazel and Gus. Like all teens they’re trying to see where they belong in this world. Unfortunately, they also know that they won’t belong in this world for very long.<br/><br/>Fortunately for us, they made a strong impression for the short time we spend with them.<br/><br/>There’s a quote at the end of the novel that I love. Fearing he’s losing Hazel to illness, Gus said, “ . . . you don’t get to choose if you get hurt in this world, old man, but you do have some say in who hurts you. I like my choices. I hope she likes hers.” It gives me goose bumps every time I read it. There’s nothing like youth and tragedy to make a novel sparkle. Well done, John Green.<br/><br/>Would I recommend it: Absolutely.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2U643LWX5SH8B?ASIN=014242417X	Just Incredible.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">THE FAULT IN OUR STARS tells the love story of Hazel and Augustus. Both, incredibly funny and intelligent, and both, diagnosed with fatal diseases at young ages. For Hazel, she’s lived with her lung issues for years, everyday knowing that it could be her last. Augustus; however, was diagnosed with osteosarcoma, but was classified as in remission after losing half a leg.<br/><br/>The duo meets at an illness support group that Hazel’s parents make her go to. The chemistry between them is undeniable and they soon start spending all of their time together and learning more about each other. This leads to Hazel having Augustus read her favorite book – An Imperial Affliction – which ends abruptly with the reader asking questions. Hazel desperately wants to meet the author and find her answers before it’s too late for her, so when Augustus offers her his “wish” from the Make-a-Wish Foundation, they go on their adventure to Amsterdam to meet Peter Van Houten, the author with all the answers…..or so they think.<br/><br/>After a less than productive meeting with Van Houten, Gus and Hazel spend some quality time growing closer in Amsterdam. This is when Hazel finds out that Gus’s osteosarcoma has come back. Once the pair is back home, Hazel spends the time she has left with Augustus showing him how/why his life has turned out exactly the way he’s wanted it to.<br/><br/>Never has a book made me laugh so hard to the point of tears and then cry just as hard, but from sadness. This was a good book. I read it in two days and when I wasn’t reading it, I was trying to figure out when I would get to read it again. I loved the characters, all of them – even Van Houten. I also really wish An Imperial Affliction was a real novel cus I wouldn’t mind reading it.<br/><br/>I was hesitant at first to read TFIOS because I had heard that it was so sad. But I am so glad I did. It has become one of my favorite books and I’m sure that if I were to reread it – no matter how many times – that I would still laugh and cry in all the spots I laughed and cried in before. That, to me, constitutes an amazing book. And who are we kidding, could John Green ever write a bad book? No. Probably not. :)</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3GZH85VOHMCKL?ASIN=014242417X	"WARNING TO OLDER READERS ABOUT ""The Fault in Our Stars."""	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">* I'm an old guy in my 50s and thus well beyond the target audience for this book - which to my puzzlement - has been labeled as a work of ""Young Adult Fiction.""<br/><br/>* I'm not going to waste your time and go over the plotting and themes of ""The Fault in Our Stars.""  Many others - thousands in fact - have already done that in a wonderful way.<br/><br/>* I'll just say that before I turned to ""page one"" - that I went in with a healthy dose of skepticism about ""The Fault in Our Stars"" - because other so-called ""Young Adult"" titles - e.g., the ""Hunger Games,"" the ""Divergent"" series and the ""Harry Potter"" series - in my mind, did indeed feel, in my mind, justifiably within the marketing implications associated with the ""Young Adult"" label.<br/><br/>* But in my view, ""The Fault in Our Stars"" takes a BIG fork in the road for many of us older adults - that's off-the-charts phenomenal.  I read a lot of literature and non-fiction - and I myself could NOT believe how I got sucked into this book.  Its content is so beguiling - and its prose so effortless - that I found myself not thinking about how well-written, how exquisitely expressed its themes - which in turn made the clock melt away.  As I have often written elsewhere, this should be the dream achievement of all great writers, i.e.,, to compose words and phrases and ideas that makes me unaware of an author's writing style.<br/><br/>* I DID NOT have a problem with the hyper-intelligent teenage characters in this book - sounding wiser than their years.  Please don't diminish the achievements of ""The Fault in Our Stars"" because of this singular criticism.  Confession:  I had a cancer scare when I was 19 and I know what went through my mind facing life and death issues - at an age when everyone else was out partying.  I have kept a diary since I was 15 - and I know how this experience - accelerated my maturity and gave me a sudden grasp of what was, until then, impenetrable existential themes previously beyond my reach.  The thoughts purveyed by the teens in this book came naturally - as I remembered how much my life back then - was freighted with more urgency, e.g., trying to put my ""best face"" on for pals - while coping with what felt like the ""cruelly numbered days"" moving forward.<br/><br/>* Please, for older adults having problems with the ""overly wise"" dialogue spewing forth from these teen characters, please do this:  Just add three or four years to ages of the characters, i.e., pretend Augustus and Hazel are in their early 20s, pondering seemingly obscure life issues.  I guarantee you, the believability of their dialogue will still feel authentic.  I went through these very conversations and dark observations so many years ago.  Regardless, I myself was fine with everything in this book.  It did NOT feel pretentious to me.<br/><br/>* What's strange is ""The Fault in Our Stars"" has been out for more than two years.  My regret is I was SO LATE to recognize its achievements - because I did not, until recently - seriously embrace the acclaim it has long received from its readers.  So I apologize for my tardiness.  This book ends beautifully - with worrisome clichés avoided.<br/><br/>* ""The Fault in Our Stars"" is, in my view, a major work of fiction in a suburban setting - with grand themes presented in a straight-forward way.  It is tender and humorous and inflicts blunt-force trauma that bolts you to the floor.  I confess I choked up many times, enough so that I said to myself - ""you know, if I was a teen again - without the experience of the many years that have long since passed - that I would be a bawling wreck.""  I would've had a tough time going to work or school the next day, paralyzed by contrasting emotions of being in love for the first time - while being hyper-aware of our small place in a universe filled with billions of other humans for whom ""life goes on"" with seemingly less urgency.<br/><br/>* In sum, this book reminds me of how we're all ""just passing through"" - of how we're likely to be forgotten by other people arriving two generations after our demise - but who still, via the young words of Augustus and Hazel - can re-experience something beyond our earthly existence, something that feels eternal.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3B94EDKK66GVW?ASIN=014242417X	This is the Reason Books Exist.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">When I began reading this novel, my first quick impressions were that it was clearly well written but the knowledge that the lead character was a 16 year old girl with stage 4 cancer was a bit worrisome, because well, the end most certainly is inevitable and would be hurtful so did I want to put myself through that?  I am generally not a Nicholas Sparks kind of gal when it comes to stories, not my thing.  I continued to read, to spite that feeling.<br/><br/>Now that I've finished, I am so utterly happy to have made the journey and I'll say, maybe even lucky to have done so.  What I got from this wonderful story was such incredible thankfulness for life and friends and family and my simple, but life-fulfilling love of books and my own unique view of the world.<br/><br/>What runs through this book as a thread, a beating, thriving heart - is love.  The love we feel as human beings for children, parents, lovers, friends, the world in our eyes and stories.  It is woven so skillfully, so thoughtfully.  I read so many books and they make me feel many emotions, but most internally.  This book on the other hand made me smile so many times, made me laugh out loud and yes, cry out loud, but not for the reasons I assumed when I first began reading.<br/><br/>I am an instant fan of John Green.  He doesn't play with words, he guides with them.  He chooses them perfectly, he doesn't go too lightly or too heavy.  It is like the baby bear's porridge in the Three Bears, just right.  There are so many thoughtful moments in the book, so many times for us to reflect on the world, on our family, our own thoughts and feelings.  This kind of book brings something to the reader and those books I find great value in.<br/><br/>I cannot recommend this book enough.  It is the reason books exist and should always exist, they can reveal and therefore, enlighten, the human heart.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R31SRUWC720EHZ?ASIN=014242417X	Some fault to mention	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is the first John Green book that I've read and not sure I really understand the ""nerdfighting"" discussions, but I enjoyed it enough to give the author another shot.<br/>The book is witty and fun, even with the impending doom that is lurking in the background (protagonists are dying from the beginning).<br/>I really enjoyed that it didn't (not much of a spoiler here...) have a happy ending, although I think more and more books are turning to the more realistic endings without always having a happy finale.<br/>Both Hazel and Gus made me laugh at times - the interaction between them and the poking fun at the ""Literal Heart of Jesus"" just didn't get old to me!  And even though others mentioned it being annoying, I really enjoyed the cigarette discussion of not allowing the killing mechanism its power to kill.<br/><br/>What I didn't love was that the characters seemed unrealistic to me.  They weren't believable as teenagers.  I will take the argument that if you are a teenager that has known they were dying for years, maybe there's a maturity elevation that happens more quickly than the norm, but I really wasn't able to really get drawn into their personalities.  Along the same line, I felt the love story was too forced.  I didn't fall for either of them, and never ""felt"" their love for each other.  I think it needed to be a bit deeper of an emotional connection for them.<br/><br/>The other part that left me with a bad taste in my mouth was the Van Houten character.  His final ""backstory"" was very predictable, and his personality was quite artificial.  I feel like Green needed something bigger than dying to form the plot around, and I understand that, but adding this extraneous author character in - especially the 2nd time he shows up - was weak writing.  The story behind Van Houten left me with no sense of closure.  And (now a little more of a spoiler...) the ending with the Eulogy written by Gus and sent to him was silly.  Gus would know that by his terribly miserable character, he wouldn't do what was asked of him by re-writing it.  Gus, if so in love, would have left that directly for Hazel's parents to find or Hazel herself to find.  He wouldn't have mailed it to Amsterdam to be unnoticed and scoffed at - they ""knew"" that he was a heartless man at that point in his life.<br/><br/>I wrote a lot of ""bad"", but please note that I did still like the book a lot, but wish that there were fewer moments that felt forced.  But even through those, it was a memorable story of love and life and self-realization and I will try other books of his!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R10ZAIXO1NITWN?ASIN=014242417X	All of The Things	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">~4.5/5<br/>So, I'm feeling a little unsure about this book. And so I'm not totally sure what to say about it. I feel like I kind of don't think it was amazing, but it was amazing. And there is no reason for me to not think it was amazing. Maybe it was just so much, and I'm overwhelmed and very unsure or something. Also, I feel a little biased and pressured, and like I should only say amazing things about it. But I also don't feel like there's really anything not amazing about it in the first place. And I don't really know what rating to give it. I feel like, maybe, it doesn't really deserve a 4.5, and yet it also deserves nothing less?<br/>I'm just all kinds of conflicted. (But, I swear, I'm going to be honest throughout all of this review.) (Also, I promise, I'm not going to spoil anything big in this besides general plot. So, Spoiler Free!)<br/>So I understand what John Green (I kind of want to address him as John and not Green. But that's unprofessional, isn't it? [Not that, you know, I am professional or anything.] And yet, as a Nerdfighter, that's what I always think of him as. Maybe I'll just call him John Green through all of it?) was trying to say with all of it. I get the message. And it was awesome and completely well done. And I might talk more about it later, but I don't think that's what I'm going to focus on in this review.<br/>I am going to talk about Hazel, though. Ahh, Hazel Grace. First of all, I want to say how well John did at creating a real girl. Especially because, as a (you know, mostly) normal teenage(-ish) girl, I related to her in a lot of ways. She's a bit cynical, and not all that sure of herself, and she says 'um' quite a bit and ends a lot of what she says in a question. And I love how she thinks about boys, and just living in general. And she's smart, and in college even though she's sixteen (with a completely understandable and logical reason), and she's honest (at least to herself). She's a teenager, even if she does have cancer.<br/>And, ohhh, Augustus Waters. (Also, I want to mention that I love the names John Green came up with. They are brilliant.) I don't even... But I do, I do know what to say about him. He is simply amazing. He wants to mean something, and he's fun, and he likes Hazel and doesn't see why she shouldn't know this. He's just... full of swoon. He is all swoon. There is so much swoon with him that I don't even know what to tell you besides that you have to read it to fully understand the amazing-ness that is him and Hazel, when they are together and not. And I like that the drama wasn't pumped up very much or anything. Even when they have problems (that would usually cause a big scene or something), it isn't too tense, it's not dramatic. It just is what it is.<br/>And I wasn't expecting what... happened to him, to happen to him. Especially not before her. The situation was different from what I'd expected when I started the book, and I'm glad. It turned out different, in a  very good way. Well, not very, but, you know...<br/>Also, you guys. I'd read several reviews and seen lots of people talking about it, and how it was full of all these emotions. And, since I'm not the type of person that cries at things, I was like, 'yea, okay', but my interest was piqued. And you guys, everyone was kind of right. A lot of the book is just fun and more fun, and there are a ton of cute moments between Hazel Grace and Augustus. It's much more funny than I thought it would be, like with moments of the three just joking around, which I really enjoyed. And, yea, there are several moments in the book where Hazel is by herself and thinking about things, and I enjoyed them, but I didn't think they were overwhelmingly upsetting or anything. But then. But then, you guys. A scene came up about Augustus. And I was completely caught off guard.<br/>I knew it was coming; it was obvious that it was coming. And even when it started, I was like 'aww, sad', but then, and I think I might have just put myself in Hazel's mind and imagined it for myself, but then I thought 'oh, there are tears in my eyes'. I'm not even kidding. This book brought me so close to crying, closer than anything I've read before. And it was amazing. Sad, but amazing.<br/>And then there's Isaac. He's one of their friends, who goes blind. But him and Augustus play violent video games together, and then him and Hazel play vocal video games, and he has a moment of denial and hard realization that's a bit sad (and honest, and I genuinely enjoyed it), and he's just generally awesome.<br/>We didn't see too much of anyone else's parents (although what we did see was usually pretty humorous or sad) besides Hazel's, who we saw often. She's close to both of them, and they were pretty awesome. Her dad, in particular, was so sweet, and very sensitive (and cried often). And she jokes around easily with her mom, for instance, when they take a trip with Augustus. Near the end, they got a bit pushy, but otherwise were pretty cool.<br/>Also, the subject matter. It made me a little wary, but it didn't put me off from reading it or anything, because I was much too excited for that. And I haven't even read much about people with cancer, or many novels with sick people. But he did it really well. It was (I'm assuming this, because I haven't, nor have I ever been around someone who has, experienced this,) realistic. And I'm pretty sure he knew what he was talking about, as there were several technical words and stuff thrown around, and I know that he did a lot of research (not that that he couldn't have been making it all up, though). He wasn't afraid of showing the ugly parts of it. It seemed very honest, with the way everyone reacted to it, and thought about living and dying, and how they're all treated because they're sick, like with the Perks and Support Group. (And I liked the, ""depression is a side effect of dying"" thing, in particular. There were several parts of the book that made me think, ""That's a nice/interesting way of looking at things"". There are just so many little things that matter so much in this book.)<br/>And whole thing with Van Houten and An Imperial Affliction. That's just... hm. (Kind of messy? And a bit sad?) There's the big similarities. With the endings, for example. And it is a bit frustrating, but I get it. So, fine. Fine.<br/>The book has John Green's general way of writing. It's his style. He's a bit subtle and honest and a little dark; just him. This book included text messages and letters and little things like that. They added more character to the story, more personality to the characters. I liked it.<br/>It was good. It was amazing. It wasn't amazing. It was all of the things and not, all at the same time. But aside from all that, I really enjoyed it, maybe even loved it, and I would suggest it.<br/>[P.S. Thank you, John Green for creating this book with such amazing characters. And, also, for signing so very many of them. I appreciate it. (I appreciate you.) (Best Wishes.)]</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3KJAKGUE73EWX?ASIN=014242417X	Cancer Schmancer	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Get your affairs settled, pets walked, food made, fave shows set up on DVR, because once you begin reading you will NOT want to stop, for anything.<br/>I have heard mixed things about John's other books (Looking for Alaska &amp; Paper Towns) so when presented with the opportunity to read this I have to admit I was NOT expecting such a phenomenal novel.<br/>As with all new books I get, I skimmed a few pages, unlike the OTHER books I did NOT stop ""skimming"" until it was 430am!<br/><br/>I wish I could emotionally detach &amp; look at this book &amp; review it constructively. This story will do everything to your emotions, BUT make them detached.<br/><br/>Hazel &amp; Augustus are teenagers, obviously destined to be lovers &amp; best friends, and meant to die long before they normally should.<br/>A cruel twist of fate drags them together. The Cancer Kids Support Group.<br/><br/>Before you think this will be a dreary &amp; sad book bout cancer &amp; kids that die from it, please think again. While cancer is in their lives it has not taken them over. We are not bored to tears with medical lingo &amp; incessant chatter of chemo &amp; it's side effects.<br/>A few medical conversations take place, but they add to the story not control it.<br/><br/>As we live through their eyes &amp; become immersed in their story we cheer for them. We know there will be no unrealistic ""OMG THEY FOUND A CURE FOR THIS RARE CANCER"" moments &amp; I respect the author for not insulting our intelligence by even leading us to think it is possible.<br/><br/>We want Hazel &amp; Augustus &amp; their friend Isaac to live the best life they can, while their health allows it.<br/>We want to support them &amp; be there for them. That's all we can realistically do.<br/><br/>Isaac is a mutual friend, also from Cancer Kids Support Group. His story line adds depth to the overall story. He shows us how these kids act when a ""cure"" for cancer doesn't always mean a stereotypical happy ending &amp; how sometimes sacrifices must be made to save a life.<br/><br/>It's easy to see how friendships forged under these circumstances are so strong &amp; true, as fleeting as they may be. They truly learn to take it one day at a time &amp; to appreciate ALL life has to offer. From a sunrise to petting a kitten to playing a video game with your best friends.<br/><br/>Hazel is taken on a vacation with Augustus that changes her life in so many ways it makes you dizzy with emotion.<br/><br/>I was introduced to what seemed to be a strong supporting character &amp; his role was chopped to hell. Peter Van Houten, the alcoholic author they went to Amsterdam to visit. His role confused me a bit. I understood where John Green went, at the end of the story, but Peter Van Houten could of been a stronger, stable, side character. He was such an integral part of the story &amp; was kinda wishy washy when it came down to it.<br/><br/>The other small gripe I had was that these young kids had ""Dawson's Creek"" syndrome. Sometimes they spoke a bit too mature for even bright 16 &amp; 17 year old kids.<br/><br/>Despite a few small ""fly in the ointment"" type annoyances this novel had me engrossed from beginning to end.<br/><br/>Hazel &amp; Augustus (Isaac's too) parents were simply awesome. They were what you would imagine a family in their position to be like. Staying strong together in front of their child &amp; crying like helpless babies together behind closed doors, waking up &amp; doing it all again. I liked that, I liked seeing they were human &amp; felt the stress &amp; helplessness &amp; unfairness of it all. It was real. Too real.<br/><br/>This novel will definitely invoke strong emotions in us all. We will rage at the cruelty of cancer yet be glad for every single moment of happiness Hazel, Gus, &amp; Isaac have. Together &amp; apart. Isaac was a supporting character but he really struck a chord with me. I keep mentioning him because IMHO he WAS the strongest of them all.<br/>We think we know where each character will end up, but we don't. John Green has truly crafted a story that will play itself out in your memory long after you close the book.<br/>""The Fault in Our Stars starts with cancer &amp; ends with life""</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2EHGF8NWSONMF?ASIN=014242417X	No spoilers except how to resolve the occasional unsigned copy	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I bought TFIOS in one of the stores where their tour will be, and mine was, alas, unsigned. Good news for me is that I had, on the ride to the store, seen the description of what to do if it's NOT signed in the book release video on their channel (vlogbrothers). In short, email the author at sparksflyup(at)gmail(dot)com and give the following information:<br/>1)Your name<br/>2)Your address<br/>3)Where you bought the book<br/><br/>It may be a good idea to take a photo of your receipt or a quick low-res flip through of the blank pages before the book starts... but the where you got it is very important on the distributor end; the problem is a distributor problem. He did sign 150k pages to go in the front of the book... but some of the distributors apparently failed to include them when binding the final product together--my guess is they printed them prematurely (it's obviously a bad idea to try printing everything in one place then shipping thousands of miles when you can print a hundred miles from major hubs instead)... He's fixing the problem; just ""Keep calm and DFTBA"" and you'll be rewarded for awesome.<br/><br/>The book... well, 223 people have already said what I could and more. What I WILL say is that it is NOT simply a ""children's"" book and should not be limited to something-kids-read... Sure, I enjoy DFW and Vonnegut (Kurt, not the cousin twice removed who did Gods of Greenwich). That does not make this any less a great book for anyone ~15 and up than it makes all the classics we happened to read in grade school. While much of the content is modern (the Internet exists in his works; somehow America's Next Top Model got mentioned without any odd copyright blockage; this isn't a Moulin Rouge story where someone simply suffers-modern drugs/hospital facilities are part of the routine), there are layers of depth that defy calling this kid's fiction or temporary pop literature that will be forgotten in 100 years. Like the works of Gaiman, I truly hope this isn't forgotten, as it's the most honest look I've seen at the subject matter but despite lives revolving around cancer, the story is not strong because of how it tackles cancer.<br/><br/>TFIOS is strong because of what John Green's just-plain-GOOD-at, creating characters you care deeply about. It doesn't make you cry just to make you cry or force laughter, either. The main characters are fleshed out so well that you laugh and cry because you're sucked into their world and ""get it"" at any given moment, whatever the ""it"" may be. You could read it, not emotionally attach to the characters, and still say, ""Wow, that was really well-done"" because it IS well-done. However, you more than likely will find yourself genuinely liking and connecting with the characters. What I appreciate most (and other oldies like me that have read it and talked with me about it have agreed on this point) is that despite being far, far older than the protagonists, I'm not reading it from the outside; I'm not simply connecting with the pain of the parents or the quirky beautiful connection Hazel and her father share from quite early on. I connect more with the youth and again this comes down to a strength, a conscientious effort, in Green's writing: he honors youth instead of simplifying them. He doesn't dumb down their experiences, whether they are trivial, serious, light, or exasperating. He keeps them genuine and doesn't talk down to his readers or tell the story's importance TO you. He lets every reader, from the youngest to the oldest, find the meaning themselves; he doesn't frustrate with the annoyance of things like explaining every bit of history you might not know--he lets you get interested and look it up yourself. This book deserves full engagement and will get a couple more reads by me before winter's up, as I know there is much that, despite taking my time reading, I want to delve further into (well, what isn't purely fictional). This book is worth owning, and I say that as someone who has taken to donating my funds to the library and reading materials then sending them back to be shared by any and all. I'm glad I bought two copies, not just for the two tickets to the event, either... This will be an extremely special gift, and if someone you know does enjoy reading novels, this is one book I give a very rare 5 stars and full endorsement (if they enjoyed The Hunger Games, another I don't think is ""JUST young adult friendly,"" the way people care about Katniss/Gale/etc is how I can best sum up how they'll care about Hazel/Augustus/etc).</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RSIZ6OA79W6CK?ASIN=014242417X	Infinity Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I just finished reading this book. Like not even five minutes ago, so the emotion is raw and exposed. This story is breath taking, and if you're reading this thinking that this book will just be some sappy romance, you've got it wrong my friend. John Green doesn't take us into another world, he takes deeper into our ours. I loved this book because of its truth. It's not sugar coated, and I loved that. I mean, when you sugar coat  the truth, it's not the truth anymore. It's a lie. So, by reading this, I can truthfully tell you that every emotion of mine was brought out. I saw the world in the eyes of someone who was deep, thoughtful, and thought provoking. That person was Hazel Grace Lancaster. Hazel has terminal cancer, and she spent most of her time thinking about death, before Augustus Waters. Augustus is a fun, lovable character that I instantly fell in love with. These two characters are brought together at a support group, and Augustus is there supporting his friend Isaac, who has to get surgery and will be permanently blind afterwards. That's just the beginning. As you read this, you will be taken through an adventure that contains love, hope, loss, survival, laughter, etc. I recommend this to every person. Not just teenagers, but EVERYONE. I really did learn something from this novel. Right  now, I just have this sense that I'm suddenly completely aware that I'm alive, well, and breathing. Before this book, it didn't seem like such a big deal, but now it is because I know that some  people don't and will never have that sense of comfort. I am so completely aware of how lucky I am now. Read this novel. You won't ever forget this. I know I won't. Five stars is the highest I can go, but I say infinity stars.</span>"

(and they might have actually enjoyed this book.) i can only imagine the conversation about the sexual encounter going something like, ""well....i guess if you are BOTH dying of cancer any day and you don't have to worry about pregnancy and STD's, you can have sex. but ONLY then!""<br/><br/>i wish YA authors would understand that when they write teen sex, 16-year old girls think they have some kind of endorsement for it. from the author, from the characters they admire. permission and encouragement, given to them from someone who doesn't even know them, care about them or love them. i will return back into the world of adult fiction and not look back, thanks to the fault of this overly-written book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1XRP0I5CCH0Z4?ASIN=014242417X	Wonderful, awe inspiring read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is my first John Green book, and I only wish I had found this author sooner. This book did so much more then entertain me and take my mind from reality for awhile. The characters were incredible. Hazel is dripping with sarcasm, witty,beyond intelligent, and comes across as an old soul. I feel John Green did an incredible job of creating such a complex character that was quite believable, considering what she was going through. Augustus ""Gus"", was old mature beyond his years, yet still written extremely well. The story line of teenagers facing terminal cancer is not one I would readily jump to read, but I am so happy I did. I laughed, I cried,I felt the heartbreak, and the emotional roller coaster the story takes you on. I finished the story wanting to start from the beginning and 're-read it again, because it left such an impression on me. I think this novel should be expanded and not placed in just the YA genre. As a 45 year-old woman, I would recommend this book to anyone that believes in true love, for anyone that believes in hope and beauty, for anyone that believes in life is an experience that cannot always turn out as a happy ending, but it is well worth the journey. I hope this book becomes one that will be given in schools as those on reading lists for students. I believe this book will be a significant contribution to literature in years to come. Thank you for such a wonderful, poignant, beautiful love story that transcends life and death. Happy I read this, and will read it again. Definitely one of those books that you go back to and read again, because it's that good.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3GLJPVOYZ0SRM?ASIN=014242417X	A MUST READ!!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">So....I finished The Fault in Our Stars, and even though I had already predicted the ending(I have a bad habit of that....) it still was a shock. It's one of those endings that's terrible on the narrator that makes you want to smack the author for doing it. But....it's real. Truth is, life isn't full of happy endings. Life sucks, people get sick, and people die. And John Green portrayed this fact perfectly in The Fault in Our Stars.<br/><br/>I've heard people complain that it's unrealistic. I seriously can't understand HOW it's unrealistic. I personally found it to be very honest and real. It's probably one of the most honest books I've read in a LONG time. Moving on to another complaint I've heard. 'Guys shouldn't write from a girl's Point of View.'. I'll admit, I was a bit worried when I found out that the book was from Hazel's point of veiw, and not third person. The only time I've ever read a book that was written by a guy, in a girl's POV, it was straight out bad. John Green has proven that you CAN successfully write in the POV of the opposite gender.<br/><br/>Yes, this is a sad book, but there's alot of comedy in there too. I laughed for 10 solid minutes towards the end of the book. My chest hurt, my eyes were watering, and I couldn't breathe all because of on little page. Even thinking about it now gets me laughing.<br/><br/>All in all, I suggest this to anyone who likes to read. It's honest, heartfelt, and true to the core. Maybe it doesn't have wizards from a foreign land, or vampires that sparkle, but it's an amazing book that deserves a chance to be loved by someone.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2Z9H7VGCPBS5S?ASIN=014242417X	I tried to like it.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I didn't like this book. The characters didn't ring true to me. They were overly precocious and basically unlikable. A little ""too cool for school"". I found myself instead of deeply reading passages of their rants, I would say out loud Blah, blah, blah. I kept reading hoping it would get better but it really didn't. It was overly wordy in some places but not enough detail in other places to keep my interest. I didn't know Greens target audience was young adults, so for this old women and cancer survivor, I couldn't relate.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1AI94KM6GYM0I?ASIN=014242417X	Sappy Sob Story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read this because it was a choice of my book group. Despite all the hype, I didn't enjoy it. Many books in the young adult category cross over and work well for all ages, but not this one. It's definitely geared towards very young teens. The characters are not believable, any of them, and I found myself not caring about them, despite the obvious intent of the author to raise huge amounts of sympathy in his readers.</span>"
1.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2V5RMV1MDEGEU?ASIN=014242417X	Unflinchingly honest and beautiful	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars is profound in its unflinchingly honest portrayal of young people living with cancer. I was moved and my eyes were opened to an experience that is alien to me. The beauty of Green's writing is that he was able to tell the story of children and cancer without making a depressing book. It was tragic at times, but it was also sardonic, witty, romantic, and intelligent. The characters were not saints but regular people who happened to have cancer. I fell deeply in love with the two protagonists, Hazel and Gus. Sometimes I forgot how young they were because they ruminated and bantered in ways far beyond their years. In any other story, it would have been unrealistic. But, in this story, it was a logical side-effect of cancer. Face to face with mortality at an age when most consider themselves invincible, the characters would naturally think more on death and religion and life's true meaning than the average teenager. They weren't necessarily wiser, just more cognizant. I hope young people will find and read this book. It isn't the paranormal or dystopian fantasy that so many teenagers gravitate toward, but it is very real and gut-wrenching, dramatic and funny. This book will resonate with me for a very long time, and I highly recommend it. Note: The novel does contain language and sexuality that might make it inappropriate for younger teens.</span>"

How many video game playing 16 year olds rap about Shakespeare, T.S. Eliot, William Carlos Williams . . . .  And she didn't even go to high school.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3IH9OCZMYXEHK?ASIN=014242417X	I Wanted to Like It	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I heard so many good things about this book; it even won the Abraham Lincoln High School Reader's Choice Award. The story is a great attempt by a male adult author to write about the way a teenage girl with cancer diagnoses deals with her situation. The story was interesting. But as I read, the author seemed to communicate one thing to the readers while he had the characters do the opposite, which I found frustrating. Maybe that's the point, but I didn't enjoy it.<br/><br/>And for trying to give a realistic glimpse into a life some wouldn't otherwise understand, I thought the characters presented a lot of pseudo-knowledge and even misconceptions. This was what ruined the book for me. To be fair, the main characters are teenagers, which increases the possibility that they believe misconceptions because they're so young. And perpetuating misconceptions is a pet peeve of mine. Other readers may be just fine with the information the characters represent, even though they know it's slightly distorted. I just hope readers know better than to take everything the readers say and do as realistic.<br/><br/>Overall: Great book for teenagers to step into the life of someone with cancer as long as they take its contents with a grain of salt.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2G8P855MNJTRW?ASIN=014242417X	Love Hazel!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I got my copy the day after release and finished it same day!  It was a fantastic book (but in the lyrics of Hank Green, it wasn't Harry Potter) and i am already going through it a second time, cause i am that odd.  I am also hunting for a Hanklerfish or Yeti, mine was neither (it was signed in green however, one down!).  Now the book did not make me cry, as sad as parts were, and i think the reason was John did a fantastic job bringing Hazel and the others to life.  I knew Hazel wouldn't want pity, so i didn't.  I loved Hazel's view on having cancer, and while she did act so teenagery sometimes, which honestly she should, it didnt make me dislike her any less.  Loved Gus as well, especially the Christmas Tree line (i dont think this is spoilery cause if you havnt read it, you shouldnt know what this is.) and his laid back goofy attitude at the whole cancer thing.  I was also smiling at a few locations mentioned that i've seen in vlogbrother videos.  It did remind me of Looking For Alaska a tiny bit, but whos to say that is bad?  (just reminded me of the before and after, the stories are nothing alike)<br/><br/>Overall, thank you John for such a wonderful read, and thank you to everyone who helped him make it great!  DFTBA and Best Wishes!</span>"

I’m an adult, but I had heard a lot of buzz around it and knew there was a movie coming out, so I decided to read it. Other than that I knew nothing about it or the author until I finished reading it. As others have mentioned, this is written in the voice of the author. All of the characters have the exact same personality, and none of them develop enough for me to really care what happens to them. I had heard this novel was so sad, such a tearjerker, but it didn’t elicit any emotion from me, probably because the characters felt so unauthentic and unrealistic. The worst part of this book was probably when they went to Amsterdam. It was so incredibly boring and the scenes with the author were lacking. Not one part of it was believable. I can’t believe John Green went to Amsterdam and spent time there and then this is what he wrote – a generally awful and terrible dull advertisement for the city.<br/><br/>I could go on but I won’t. It’s just hard to believe that this has created so much hype. It doesn’t live up to it at all.</span>"
1.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R5NSEJVQAZCJU?ASIN=014242417X	a teen walk to remember	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Short version: this is a Nicholas Sparks story for teens. The most noticeable feature to me is the author's characterization of the main characters. Meet Hazel and Augustus, two teens who have the emotional maturity, acumen and vocabulary of two 35 year old literature professors. Another reviewer well said: ""this is what Green does: he creates characters that talk like, well, middle-aged men—characters who have the philosophical background, verbal expression, and vocabulary of people much older than them."" The adult doctors, nurses and parents bumble around in the background of the teenagers' firm grasp on life, pain and death. Green expertly gives teenagers a world in which they imagine themselves to be--a world in which they have come to understand the Meaning of Life, and they patiently abide the adorable, sometimes infuriating, attempts by adults to impart wisdom.</span>"

I am way out of the teen market and did realize this book was about teens but thought it was written for an adult state of mind. I did read this book and finish it but was greatly disappointed in the stilted dialogue and corny plot. There are some children's books that I'd still love today, A Secret Garden, for example which is so richly written with a fascinating plot and characters worth remembering. I'll be curious to see what they do with the motion picture of this book but from what I've seen the characters in the film don't resemble the ones in this book.

1.0	/gp/customer-reviews/REFSRBO4IZQKE?ASIN=014242417X	Okay...Okay	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Why I Picked It Up<br/>Okay, to be honest, the reason I picked this novel up and actually read it was because my friends had read it and basically forced it upon me. I had been eyeing it, of course, because of all of the hype surrounding it. But I actually picked it up at the force of my friends’ hands.<br/><br/>Plot<br/><br/>The plot of The Fault in Our Stars is a well known one: the two cancer patients, one terminal, one in remission. The love of all loves. The tears that accompany those who dare pick up and read such a sad book. So I’m not going to take the time to spell it out for you. The plot of the novel wasn’t the kicker with this novel. The point of this novel was the feels. The feels you feel when you read about these poor kids suffering from such illnesses.<br/><br/>Other<br/>Since I’ve read this novel, I have been referred to as heartless by the teenagers in my school who think that they are avid “readers” just because they’ve read this novel. That being said, I didn’t blubber like a baby when I read this novel. I didn’t shed a tear. Was it sad, the situation these characters were in? Of course it was. Unlike the accusations I’ve faced, I am not heartless. I am just desensitized to many things that occur in a hospital setting. I want to be a surgeon, a trauma brain surgeon, so I can’t be that affected by things like death. I will see it frequently in the future. That being said, maybe it was the fact that I knew what was going to happen in the novel. But I am quite certain that that is not what it is. The simple explanation is that it did not tug on my heartstrings like it does so many others. That may make me unsympathetic, unfeeling, or any other word that people may thing to describe me after this. But it is how I felt and there is no amount of words that people can call me that will change the fact that this book did not make me cry.<br/><br/>Leading Lady<br/><br/>“There will come a time when all of us are dead. All of us. There will come a time when there are no human beings remaining to remember that anyone ever existed or that our species ever did anything. There will be no one left to remember Aristotle or Cleopatra, let alone you. Everything that we did and built and wrote and thought and discovered will be forgotten and all of this will have been for naught. Maybe that time is coming soon and maybe it is millions of years away, but even if we survive the collapse of our sun, we will not survive forever. There was time before organisms experienced consciousness, and there will be time after. And if the inevitability of human oblivion worries you, I encourage you to ignore it. God knows that’s what everyone else does.”<br/>Now that that rant is over, I can talk about the characters. Hazel’s character just did not do in for me. She sounded like some 50-60 year old professor with the vocabulary that girl was throwing. I know, I know, she’s wise and worldly because she is a terminal cancer patient and all. But I don’t find that true. I’ve seen terminally ill patients during my internship at the hospital this past year, and no one there reminded me of Hazel. But regardless of that fact, she was a very well written character. I don’t really have any more opinions on her simply due to the fact that I could not relate to her character at all.<br/><br/>Leading Male<br/><br/>“‘I’m in love with you,’ he said quietly. ‘Augustus,’ I said. ‘I am,’ he said. He was staring at me, and I could see the corners of his eyes crinkling. ‘I’m in love with you, and I’m not in the business of denying myself the simple pleasure of saying true things. I’m in love with you, and I know that love is just a shout into the void, and that oblivion is inevitable, and that we’re all doomed and that there will come a day when all our labor has been returned to dust, and I know the sun will swallow the only earth we’ll ever have, and I am in love with you.”’”<br/>Augustus Waters. He, on the other hand, I adored. He was charming and sweet and funny and romantic. He wasn’t my favorite book boy (le gasp!) but he was okay. View Spoiler »<br/><br/>Conclusion<br/><br/>The Fault in Our Stars was not a bad novel by far. It wasn’t the best novel, or the saddest novel, but it was well written, engaging, and it was an overall good read. Although it didn’t live up to the extremely high expectations that I had set, it is still one that I can whole-heartedly recommend. I was one of the few that didn’t absolutely die over love for this novel, and that is fine. I know many people love it, and I’m sure if you give it a try you would too. It just wasn’t the best one for me.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3PL5UC8SDOVE?ASIN=014242417X	This book is grossly overrated	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I'm sorry to say this but I found this book to be overrated. Before I read it, I heard a lot of positive things about it. For months and months, my friends would remind me that it was one of their favorite books, that they highly recommend it, that it's written beautifully, it made them cry, etc. I'm not sure if my expectations were too high but anyway! I drove to the B&amp;N, bought it, and read it in two days. However, I read the first half the day I bought it, then months went by and I never even bothered to finish it. But I don't like reading a book half finished, so I read the last half and I thought it was grossly overrated. I don't know if this makes me a bad person for not liking a book about two people falling in love, who happen to be sick. I thought the writing was maybe too shallow and/or simple. I know I'm a guy, but that doesn't mean I don't like reading a tearjerker every once-in-a-while. Hell! I read The Hunger Games and thought it was incredible! No comparison but it's safe to say, this is one book I cannot stand. I usually never say this, but for once, the movie actually looks like it can exceed the book.<br/><br/>The only thing I found interesting was Augustus and his views of society and the way he decided to live. For example, the character puts a cigarette in his mouth but he doesn't give it the power to kill him even more, he doesn't light it. As he says, ""It's a metaphor!"" I thought that was genius!<br/><br/>In conclusion, whether the book was too simple or shallow or depressing, I did not like it! The fact that the writing seemed like it was written by a 13 year-old probably had a lot to do with it. Now I know I should be the last person to comment on English and Grammar, but I'm not an author, nor do I plan to be one. Seriously, dedicate two to three days at B&amp;N and read it there, don't buy it, you might not like it!</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R38LZNJ8UELWBG?ASIN=014242417X	Average, nothing special	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">John Green has a decent way of portraying relationships and writing dialogue: though not entirely realistic, both are able to affect readers and make them sympathize with the characters and their situation.<br/><br/>Although I couldn't consider reading this book a total waste of time, I found it was entirely forgettable. Perhaps a good term for it would be ""light reading,"" which is definitely not what you want this book to be because it deals with death, sickness, and the tragically short existence of human beings.<br/><br/>All in all, it was an OK effort on Green's part but it fails to pull readers into the story, and leaves no lasting impressions.</span>"
1.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R13ZOJVW9YDYDS?ASIN=014242417X	John Green is my new favorite author	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I can't believe I pour myself through the torture of reading books I know will have a sad ending. But I do it over and over, and I will continue to do so if only to absorb the beautiful deaths of my fictitious loved ones. To the people who say this book was bad and not about cancer, I hate to sound portentous, but you're completely mistaken. So what if it's not about cancer? Cancer isn't the bad guy...it just wants too be alive as John Green beautifully illustrated in this novel. I fell in love with Augustus Waters, and I may just have to read this book again. Maybe it's my version of Hazel' s favorite novel.</span>"

Which was crazy because I saw all of these glowing reviews of it on Amazon and Goodreads and I thought it might not live up to my high expectations. (If you go read some of them, almost everybody cried at some point while reading it.) Now that I finished it I think it's my favorite John Green book ever. (Sorry Paper Towns) It was so amazing that I'm afraid if I continue to write a review about it, that I'm going to spoil it for somebody. So I have to stop writing. now. So you can go discover why I love this book so much.</span>"

But I would not go out of my way to read something so without hope.  Yes, these things happen all the time, but the main character is so depressing and morbid, why read it at all.  Someone with cancer reading this may well think what's the use.  I would prefer someone who at least has some semblance of hope or at least some quality of life.  The main character in this book didn't even enjoy her first time sexual encounter.  I wouldn't want a young person reading this to think there is nothing beautiful in life.  Nothing to look forward to.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was such a disappointment.  After all the hype I had to read it.  I started it four three different times and only made it a few chapters before finally committing to it (because I heard so many good things about it).  If you are a ""Debbie Downer"" this is most definitely the book for you.  If you want to read an entire book focused on terminally ill teenagers this is the book for you.  It was so depressing (and not in the really deep story that makes you cry kind of way), it was poorly written and it was just a drag - plain and simple.  There was so much ""filler"" in this book (ridiculous details about video game play and useless things like that).  At chapter 20, I finally gave up and skipped ahead to the final chapter just to be done with it.  Honestly, not my cup of tea but, soooo many people loved it so it must just be me!</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RXJTKFO18MX6C?ASIN=014242417X	The Overrated YA Novel of 2012	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Initially, I approached The Fault in Our Stars with excitement having heard so much about it, but that quickly fell apart and I assure you that it's not because too-high expectations. It was just bad. The novel is essentially a love story between two cancer kids. Green does his best to keep his style unadorned and create a specific voice for Hazel, the protagonist. We get the picture: she needs an oxygen tank to breathe and she's best friends with her Mom. And while her life is not what anyone hopes for, Green uses humor to keep the novel from being of the overly sentimental variety. Okay. But from there, things fall off. How you ask?<br/>1. Augustus Waters is completely contrived from the dialogue to his need for metaphors. He is essentially a cardboard cut-out of a dreamy teenage boy.<br/>2. Green uses a novel both Hazel and Augustus read as a crutch to support their love story.<br/>3. The third act's step away from realism or simple plausibility shows way too much conscious effort.<br/>4. Hazel's voice is inconsistent and tiring after 300 pages.<br/>I don't recommend this. I'm sure there are better cancer stories out there. With this one, You'll rip through it and wonder why you even bothered in the first place.</span>"
1.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2HWJP527Q3Y3R?ASIN=014242417X	Loved it	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I loved this often bittersweet story of teenagers with cancer. The dialogue is great and the characters grew on me even more as I read along.  The relationships are well-written and it won't be easy to forget the book or the characters for a long time. This is the first of John Green's books I've read, but I'd like to read more by him. This book will appeal to young adults but it really is for all ages to enjoy.<br/><br/>The humor is well-placed in the dialogue and there isn't really anything I didn't like about this literary novel.  Highly recommended.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R24724CI4XBH5C?ASIN=014242417X	Meh....	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">What on Earth is all the fuss about this book? The characters are pretty much unbelievable and mostly not at all appealing.  The story is highly improbable.  The most authentic aspects are the descriptions of the disease process and the parents' reactions to impending and actual death.  This story felt more like an updated remix of the tear-jerker Love Story from the early 70's...melodramatic and maudlin. Mercifully, it was a quick read.  I'd suggest seeing the movie, but I can't encourage prolonging the life of this blather in any circumstance.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2F42QT9R6QYYU?ASIN=014242417X	pretentious and sad	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">So I wanted to love this book about star crossed teens, but their personalities made it difficult. I am a smart person and knows my smart people and no one speaks the way these two teenagers speak. Although I shed many tears reading this novel, I did so more for the memories of a loved one that passed away from a long battle with cancer than from the relationship between the characters. This is a poignant novel about cancer and death and loss, but as for relationships, the writer misses the mark by a long shot.</span>"

It has a sad ending that made me cry, but when I read the beginning and middle I could not stop smiling. If i could find love that strong I would be the happiest person alive. If that person left I would be the saddest. This book has perspective of both sides. It will teach you a lesson on love, hate, empathy, sympathy, and friendship. I would recommend this book for ages 11-16 as I am age 11. I could not put this book down. Neither will you!</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2P561SSM02ZJ3?ASIN=014242417X	Not realistic (luckily)!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">My problem with this book is that as  a cancer survivor, I met a totally different bunch of cancer patients around me. All of them, including me, were basically brave, cheerful and in a strange, unexplainable way, peaceful. These kids are stuffed with a precocious form of cynicism and - sorry - arrogance, implying: we are so special because we are the doomed. For me this is a cliche that has nothing to do with the Real Thing, and frankly, I am glad that it doesn't.<br/>Thus, only 2 stars.</span>"

The Fault in Our Stars was was on John Green's finest works, and in the time I spent reading the book I sobbed, I smiled, I laughed, and then I sobbed again.<br/><br/>Though in some aspects it mirrored John's previous novels (<a class=""a-link-normal"" href=""/Looking-for-Alaska/dp/0142402516"">Looking for Alaska</a>,<a class=""a-link-normal"" href=""/An-Abundance-of-Katherines/dp/0142410705"">An Abundance of Katherines</a>), it was in every way its own story<br/><br/>Some dismiss this book before reading it because they claim  can't handle a story about a girl with terminal cancer. The Fault in Our Stars is much more a poignant take on the human experience than it is a book about cancer.<br/><br/>Buy this book. Buy it for your friend, your neighbor, your parents, your niece, nephew or child. This book is one for the ages.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R12NZ9PEHMFFU5?ASIN=014242417X	Not that great	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I was really excited to read this book. I had heard great things about it. I work at a pediatric hospital and many of my coworkers had read it. I will admit that I read the book in about 3 days. It was hard to put down but throughout it I found myself annoyed with the characters more than anything. I did appreciate some of the struggles/stereotypes that they talked about that cancer kids deal with. I just felt that the characters complained/whined/made fun of everything. Everyone said they cried reading this book and I didn't even come close to shedding a tear. I think I was just annoyed and ready to be finished with it. It just didn't live up to the hype for me.</span>"

Screw The Notebook, THIS is the true tale of love and loss of this generation. To warn you, the last four chapters will make you cry more than when you probably cracked your phone screen that one time at band camp. Not only is John Green the master of modern romance tales but also he makes Hazel and Augustus's love  trueand believable one. I cannot tell you how much you HAVE TO READ THIS BOOK. 100x HELL YES!!!</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3L5LNM5V478G1?ASIN=014242417X	Just another romance book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">After hearing so many good things about this book, I thought it would be the best book (or at least one of the best books) I ever read. But, alas, it was just another romance book , a chick flick. There were no funny parts, no emotionl moments. This book is proof of what a disappointing species we humans have become. I mean, crying over fictional characters? Yes, this book might be good to someone who likes romance, but for someone who likes The Lord of the Rings, it is horrible. The most action was when Gus and Hazel had sex. Maybe I read the wrong book. Or maybe, I just listened to to the wrong people. This book was a waste of my time and money.</span>"

What even was that absolute garbage. John Green has no idea what its actually like to be a teenager. This book is so unrealistic I thought I was reading a book about 18th century seniors. These kids are so pretentious and so not likeable I spent the entire novel wishing they would both die as soon as possible. putting a cigarette in your mouth and not smoking it is not a metaphor its stupid.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This was a heart-breakingly beautiful love story about two teens that brought tears to my eyes. I originally saw the motion picture first which had me bawling my eyes out. So I had to get the novel which made me bawl even more. I can't tell much without giving away spoilers. But what I can say is that it is a great book that'll give you a different perspective on life and just how precious it is to cherish each moment we have on this earth.</span>"

I mean seriously, people, just 'cause it's about sad subject matter compounded by the characters ages doesn't make it a good book. What is with all the five star ratings? I just don't get it.<br/><br/>NO, and I mean none that I know on this vast planet of ours, teenagers talk like this. Hell I'm 30 and I barely have such depth in my conversations - ever! C'mon. It reminds me of a literary version of Dawson's Creek. Only adding to the usual teenage angst, the author decided, to really get the extra punch, he'd throw in a little tug-at-your-heart-strings-illness. And Kudos, he succeed, cause the majority of the population love this over-written book.<br/><br/>Hazel has to be the most un-likeable protagonist I've ever encountered. She bitches at her parents, she bitches at Gus. She bitches at everything in general. And yeah, okay, I get it. She's got more on her plate than most teenagers. But I hate that her Cancer is used as a tool (albeit it a poignant one) to drive the weak plot, rather than an emotional connection to the distress that Cancer causes.<br/><br/>Now, Gus I actually liked. Although I'm not sure why since he entertained Hazel's bullsh!t from day one. The scene with the cigarette, I mean really? Who says that to someone they know all of five seconds?<br/><br/>Oh and don't even get me started on that author of An Imperial Affection guy. WTF! So dragged the crap out of the plot all for a two second window of light at the end.<br/><br/>So not to miss the whole Romeo/Juliet spin on this, I get it...can't ever be, cancer is their unfair faith. See this is the point where I want to become furious that an author has used something so devastating in its wake, so powerful in its effect on society, to drive a half-assed romance. Not okay, so not okay. Think I'll read some Shakespeare next time. Even a 500 year old guy is more in touch with teenage terminology!</span>"

I didn't find much to like in this book.  The plot is obviously sentimental and the characters are not very likable.

3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3F3XNROLI4TGR?ASIN=014242417X	Really Wanted to Like This Book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I really wanted to like this book. I am not part of the John Green fandom, but even I heard about this book.<br/><br/>This book reminded me a lot of the show Gilmore Girls and the movie Juno.  Obviously the themes are quite different, but the writing style is, to me, very similar.  The characters in these works are so clever and so brilliant that they become caricatures of themselves.  It almost felt like Gus and Hazel were playing the role of long-suffering-cancer-patient-with-attitude.  There was something so disingenuous about them that I had a hard time feeling attached to them.<br/><br/>I also feel slightly guilty for saying this, which is odd.  It is possible to be both fighting cancer and be annoying.  I almost felt like this book was a bit of a dare:  John Green is daring us to see who is willing to say that a teenager who is suffering is also pretentious and bothersome. I am willing to take this dare.  I found Gus and Hazel to be annoying, and I think it is possible to be dealing with great suffering and still have a personality type the just doesn't click with others.<br/><br/>That being said, I thought the relationship between Hazel and her parents was far more interesting then the relationship she had with Gus.  Honestly, I got teary at the scenes between Hazel and her father more then the scenes between Hazel and Gus.</span>"

I'm okay.<br/><br/>Okay.<br/><br/>Always.<br/><br/>I believe something needs to be said-actually, a lot of things need to be said but I need to say this first. I totally recommend this book to be listened to instead of read. For me, I got the luxury of reading it on my kindle and listening to it but I found so many weird dance words that I couldn't pronounce so with the audiobook help, everything was much more convenient. Additionally, the narrator had a beautiful voice that was played well.<br/><br/>Due to my incoherent mind, this review will be a rather horrible sob of mix matched words.<br/><br/>Hazel Grace is a cogent female heroine. Beautiful, smart, relatable, strong and realistic person. John Green, you are amazingly cruel yet awesome at the same time. I hate you for many things now, but I love you for more reasons. For example, the characters you created in this book. Augustus Waters....I don't think I can say anything without leaving spoilers, and I hate spoilers so let us say that he was equally strong, and had some adorable charming features.<br/><br/>The chemistry Hazel and Gus had was phenomenally the best I've encountered for some time. It was just so perfect and not dragging on and on. I just love them sooooo much!!<br/><br/>Death is great. No really, if the author can properly incorporate it, it is essentially a masterpiece. The Fault In Our Stars successfully made me cry for a long time, just sobbing and wailing. If I ever find out that there was a sequel, which most likely will not happen, I'd flip out and write a one million paged rant. I have no idea where I've been these years, why didn't I read his earlier?!?!? Once again, I'm sorry guys but I don't feel quipped to write a thorough, educated/posh like review.

This book transcends targeted reading audiences in both ""reading level"" and ""genre"".  In other words, whatever you like to read, whether you like to read, if you haven't read this book...go read it.<br/>2. This is not a book about cancer, death, or love...this is a book about life.  And for better or worse cancer, death and love are inextricable pieces thereof.<br/>3. You will cry though out this book, so make sure you have tissues handy.<br/>4. Ironically though, most of the time, you will be smiling through the tears.<br/>5.

You will cry.<br/>This book will simultaneously warm and break your heart.<br/>This book arrived 3 days before Amazon said it would. I opened the package, took a moment to stare at the lovely green J Scribble in the front, and then immediately sat down on my couch and read. In the 3 and a half hours it took me to experience this novel I only got up once, and that was to move to sit in my bedroom when I realized it was about to get sad. There are no weak moments, every page is a dream. I was laughing and crying simultaneously. And when I reached the end, I was sad that the journey was over, but I did not feel the emptiness or desire Hazel and Augustus felt at the end of their fictional novel. All good things must come to an end, says the cliche, and it definitely holds true for this book. This is my favorite of John Green's novels thus far and after this success I only look forward to his next work even more.</span>"

I became so enveloped with the story, the characters and their strength. After I finished reading, I felt as if I lost my best friends. The quotes in this book are fabulous as well as the lessons the characters learn. I will forever keep them with me.</span>"

I think the best way to describe how this book made me feel is to use what John Green said when he answered a question about how this book was supposed to make you feel: You feel all the things. I found myself, multiple times, literally laughing and sobbing at the same time. This is one of those books, you know? That you know will be a big part of you for a very long time. And I do sincerely feel that everyone would be bettered if they were to read this book.</span>"

However, none of them quite took a hold of me like The Fault In Our Stars did. It was so incredibly moving, romantic, whimsical, tragic and honest. I fell in love with these characters within the first couple of chapters as felt for them up until the end. This book had me laughing out loud and sobbing in front of complete strangers.<br/><br/>Fantastic job, John. You truly are a writer gifted to tell the tale of witty, loving, honest teenagers who truly make you feel something.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RMLYN27QESWU8?ASIN=014242417X	A refreshingly different book from the POV of a cancer patient	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I tend to hate reading books about people with cancer, particularly when not written by people who have truly had the experience. I feel like, often times, these books tend to be made for the sole purpose of trying to make you try, and it tends to feel forced, and not very fun to read. This book is extremely different. I feel like John really brings his characters to life. It's so nice to read a book about a character that you truly want to be friends with. I laughed, I cried, I loved it.</span>"

And no, it's not just for people who already read John Green, or who are Nerdfighters, or who are literary. Anyone can pick up this book and be lost in it nearly immediately.<br/><br/>Not sure if you will like it?<br/><br/>If you can answer yes to any of:<br/><br/>Are you smart?

You will like it.<br/>Do you breathe? You will like it. Even if it will make you stop breathing periodically.<br/><br/>John Green has asked that his fans post no spoilers, and so I won't. Everyone deserves to come to this book on their own terms. It makes it really hard to write a review, however, that doesn't consist of ""Hey, take my word on it as a totally random person off the internet whom you do not know and is totally uncredentialled - you must read this.""<br/><br/>So, instead, I'll say:<br/><br/>Every once in awhile a book comes along that makes you wish either that it had more pages or that you were a slower reader, because you have fallen in love with it as you go along, before you even reach the end, and are worried about never being able to come new to something so good again. That's this. So, please, just read this book.</span>"

It's been the first book that I read in less than 3 weeks. I read it in 3 days! It is also the only book that has made me cry. It takes A LOT to make me cry! I NEVER cry especially at books and movies. Some how this book touched me in a way I didn't know a book could. It was fantastic. I don't think it has a genre because it has aspects of every single genre. I love it so much! I re read it after I finished it the first time. I've never re read a book. Thank you John Green for this wonderful book. I will never forget it. The Fault in out Stars is now my favorite book. I've never had a favorite book and now when people ask I'll say ""THE FAULT IN OUR STARS!!!"" LOVE iT! You must read it!!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1MCK1F56ZATHZ?ASIN=014242417X	A Truly Beautiful Book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I'm not usually one for young adult fiction. Even when I was a younger adult and teenager, I prefered more sterotypically ""adult"" books, romances, horror, and fantasy (which I suppose can be argued is for any age, really. But it's not generally about teenagers and their school problems, like YA books are).<br/><br/>But a friend of mine introduced me to John (and his brother Hank) Green's fabulous YouTube vlogs, and after a year of watching them, I decided to pre-order The Fault in Our Stars (admittedly, it was partially because I was truly impressed that he SIGNED ALL 150,000 copies of the first printing! Talk about dedication!)<br/><br/>I foolishly had the book shipped to my school address while I was still away for winter break, so I instead read Looking for Alaska and Paper Towns. By the time I got my copy of TFiOS, I was addicted to John Green's writing. TFiOS is beautifully written. It's funny, it's quirky, and it makes you cry. It's definitely different from his previous books; for one thing, it has a female narrator, and for another, it's darker, deeper, and far more impactful. it's not his first book dealing with death, but it's the first time I've gotten so attached to the characters that, even knowing from the begining that this book probably wouldn't have the happiest of endings, I was truly sad when one of the character's dies. I had really started to feel like I KNEW these characters.<br/><br/>I still don't think that YA fiction is my favorite genre, but I will happily continue to read anything John Green writes. I just love his style, his humor, and his way of creating characters that really feel like people I could know. TFiOS is a true masterpiece.<br/><br/>(I also want to add that this book has made me completely fall in love with the name Augustus. It doesn't have to do with the character, it's just such a great name! I have no idea why John Green chose it, but it is absolutely perfect, and SO gorgeous...)</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RM2KXXJG5MW4Z?ASIN=014242417X	You will read it again and again!!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I was alternating between crying my eyes out and laughing hysterically throughout the whole book. (Which, although disturbing to watch, makes this book the MOST ENGAGING READ ever.) If that wasn't enough, John Green is able to weave  words of wisdom that has the reader examining his/her own life. Yet the novel is still a truly realistic, raw story.<br/>I'm ready to read it again even though I just finished it an hour ago!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RD2IHCCI5MJFC?ASIN=014242417X	The best yet!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I've read every one of John's books, follow him on Facebook and watch the Vlogbrothers videos.  So I'm sure my stalker-like admiration colors my opinion, but I think this is his best book yet!  The characters are funny, smart, surprising, and very real!  Looking for a book that will wring every emotion from you?  I laughed, cried, and even yelled a couple of times.  On the surface it's a story about teens with cancer, but underneath it's really the story of two (three if you count Isaac) teenagers dealing with life in all its glory and pain -- falling in love, playing video games, fighting with parents, and dealing with the side effects of cancer.  Yes, it's inevitable that you will be brought to tears, but John's story is not manipulative or cloyingly sweet -- this is not a Hallmark movie, but everything we've come to expect from this author.  You won't be disappointed.</span>"

My expectations for the book were pretty high since I had already read his previous books and loved each of them equally. When I got my copy I immediately sat down that morning and started reading...I didn't stop til I was finished. This book made me laugh, cry, and hope for the future. This book not only makes you cherish the life you've been given but also gives you hope to find a love like Hazel and Augustus had. The love story of Hazel Grace Lancaster and Augustus Waters is like no other. The Fault in Our Stars is yet another amazing book written by John Green. DFTBA.</span>"

It was definitely a sad book; I cried more during this book than any other I've ever read, but there is a lot of humor that comes with it. The characters are wonderful and realistic.<br/>This is definite must-read not only for John Green fans but for anyone. This book doesn't have as strong language as some of his other books, which I personally liked.<br/>The Fault in Our Stars is absolutely wonderful!</span>"

I pre-ordered this book before I knew what it was about, and before she was diagnosed. When I realized what the book was about I didn't know if I was going to be able to read the book because I didn't want to reminded of what cancer was doing to her. I read it anyways because I knew that John wouldn't let me down, and he didn't.<br/>I then passed it on to my 15 year old nephew because I knew that it would inspire her as it has inspired me to be strong for my mother in law, my husband, and my father in law.<br/>READ THIS BOOK. and then pass it along to someone else.</span>"

After the mind-blowing event of reading it, you will find yourself dissecting, thinking, and analyzing things and conversations in the book throughout daily life. This is a book that will pull at your heart strings, make you cry, make you laugh, but most of all, it will make you think.<br/>I love book that make me think.<br/>And I absolutely love TiFOS.<br/>There has always been a weird protected spot in my heart where Alaska lives as one of my all time favorite characters, and now Hazel and Gus are there too.<br/>Great job, John.</span>"

And I also preordered it the week that it became available for preorder.<br/><br/>I can honestly say that this is his best book yet.<br/>I finished the book in a single day, being unable to put it down, reading half before I went to work and the other half as soon as I was out. The book made me laugh, it made me cry, it made me contemplative of how things affect us in life. I won't write a detailed review because I fully believe in knowing as little as possible before reading a book (or when it comes to it, seeing a movie and watching a show), but I will be passing this book around to people who won't buy it on their own and encouraging other bookworms to buy it for themselves.<br/><br/>In a month or so I will reread it to recapture it and also to gain perspective on the rest of the book based on the whole book.<br/><br/>(PS - not really relevant to the review, but my copy was signed by a red sharpie! :-D )</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3PB35NTZ6BPU9?ASIN=014242417X	"A Gift of Truth for Teens in an Ambiguos World Measured by ""Meaning Something"""	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in our Stars is heart-wrenching, romantic in the most worldly and genuine interpretation of the word, indelibly thought-provoking, exceedingly symbolic, and spectacularly funny.<br/><br/>John Green has done it again. He has recreated with merely imagination, influence, and ink the completely characteristic and honest mind of a teenager, while acing a new challenge: the mind of a teenage girl. I reiterate, John Green has done it again, and this time he has done it even better.<br/><br/>Simultaneously clever, tragic, and hysterical, with equal doses of realism, hope, and heartache, The Fault in our Stars is an striking and valuable truth. Hazel's narrative seems to put into words the indescribable bits of us that come along seemingly at this one time in a life, while doing complete justice to the kinds of emotions that none but the terminally diagnosed fully comprehend.<br/><br/>Most importantly, John Green never undervalues the intelligence of his readers, and he presents a broken that somehow remains whole world to a young adult audience in yet another raw and real novel. To me, this is what sets John apart.<br/><br/>As a 16 year-old girl, I'd like to give you a suggestion. If you're thinking about purchasing this novel, I recommend you do so as soon as is humanly possible.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1XIG31Q1N97JN?ASIN=014242417X	The Complexity of Imagining others Complexly	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I would not consider this a book review, as you have at least a hundred others to convince you to read it, however, I would like you to consider something.<br/><br/>You will see in reviews here and there people mention the language used by teenagers in this book. In fact, after spending a sleepless night reading this book cover to cover, I came away thinking ""Kids just don't talk that"" myself. But then I took a walk at four in the morning in the brisk cold to consider what I'd just read and this is what changed my original opinion.<br/><br/>John Green has often stated that we, as humans, do not imagine others complexly. This book is John Green's hopeful novel of two teenagers that ARE able to imagine others (and their lives) in a more complex manner than what we believe young people are capable of. John, quite simply, believes that young people are more than just surly, angry, underage hormones that walk and talk. He knows that, given the chance, young people are quite capable. They are artistic, capable of critical thinking, compassionate, intelligent and so much more.<br/><br/>This is the story of two such teenagers.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1JIJTR0GAR8QE?ASIN=014242417X	Beautiful and brilliant	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">There are no words that can adequately describe my feelings about this book. Through every page John Green weaves his tale about 16 year old Hazel Grace Landcaster and 17 year old Augustus Waters with perfectly timed humor and profound thoughts. His work on The Fault in Our Stars is absolutely beautiful. It will make you laugh, it will make you cry, and even more importantly it will make you think - reflecting, on the real meaning of life. TFiOS is intellectual in it's construction and it's cast of characters will leave you amazed as it takes you on ""a roller coaster ride that only goes up,"" to quote the book.<br/><br/>Keep some tissues handy and get ready to enjoy this amazing book by an equally amazing author. The concept may be simple, but the story and the emotions that drive the characters are very deep and complex. It's brilliant. It's beautiful. It's profound. It's heart-warming. You simply can not go wrong with this book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2HAFKWUUUNEBW?ASIN=014242417X	TFiOS	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">John Green is my favorite author, by a long shot. When I heard about TFiOS, the plot didn't really interest me, but I was afraid I would say I loved it just because I loved John and I didn't want that because I respect him too much. As the release date got closer, I became exceedingly excited about this book. I had preordered from Amazon, but I wasn't going to receive it until 3 days after, which happened to be today. But on the 10th, I realized I would not be able to wait 3 days to read it, so I drove to WalMart and bought another copy. I read it instead of studying for finals, which probably wasn't the best idea, but I regret nothing. That being said, I will admit TFiOS did not live up to Looking For Alaska, but it's probably tied for second with Paper Towns. This book is about teenagers with cancer that met at a support group in the ""literal heart of Jesus."" That's all I'm going to say about the plot so I won't spoil it for anyone, but I will say it made me laugh out loud and cry real tears. After I finished it, I went to bed with the book, hugging it. That may sound weird but.. whatever. Read this book. You won't regret it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2LSQR8CF0F5JH?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in Our Stars Review	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I just finished reading The Fault in Our Stars. First of all, I will say that being that I just literally put the book down, I am going away from it with that feeling in your heart and the back of your throat. Its a very familiar feeling because its the one where you're trying to choke back all the tears but you just can not hold them back. From a complete non-spoiler perspective, as I would not want to ruin such a wonderful piece of literary work by spoiling it for others, I will say simply that if there is one book that you ever read, let it be this one.<br/>It captures the fears, desires, and wants that we have when faced with adversity. In this age, we see so many fantasy books out there that involves vampires, werewolves, witches, wizards, and mythical-magical beings. The Fault in Our Stars is based on fiction, as Mr. Green states, but it has all the components that could very well happen. I wish so many times, as he says in his acknowledgments, that THAT miracle should exist. I want it so bad because I've lost so very many people that I love dearly to Cancer.<br/>As I was reading the book, I recollected the times I spent with those people. He describes it so well because the things that these characters go through are nearly identical to what I have seen my own mother go through at her young age of just 38.<br/>TFiOS will definitely make you laugh, cry, lose yourself in the deepest thoughts, make you wonder ""what if"" questions, and then you'll have this strange (or in my case anyways) realization that we are in fact mortal. These shells that hold our souls, personality, hopes, dreams, loves, fears, anguish, and all those emotions make us human. My mother died of Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma when I was 14. I am now 30 years old but those memories of her are still incredibly instilled in my mind and I see her now through my memories I have of her.<br/>Anymore that I may say regarding this novel will unintentionally reveal spoilers and I will end this review now. I will only say, in closing and reiterating, that if there is one novel that you read, let it be this one. You won't be disappointed and I think that it has left me with a lot of answers to questions I've carried for a very long time.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2MBGR7OAKWE1V?ASIN=014242417X	Looking to the stars, seeing ourselves	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">'The Fault in Our Stars' is heartfelt without being sentimental, wry without being cynical, funny without being crass, smart without being condescending, sweet without being sappy. It's both heartbreakingly hopeful and refreshingly honest.<br/><br/>In short, it's John Green's finest novel yet. Which, if you've read his excellent body of work so far, is saying something.<br/><br/>John Green writes astonishingly well in the voice of Hazel, a teenage girl with terminal cancer. The story of her survival, her friends, her parents, the books she loves, the hopes she hangs onto, and her growing attraction to the clever and charming Augustus Waters comes at us through Hazel's own words - often funny, sometimes angry, sometimes sad, always real.<br/><br/>Let's be clear: 'The Fault in Our Stars' is not a cancer story. It's a story about a girl who happens to have cancer, and that distinction is what makes it so powerful and resonant and authentic. Hazel and Augustus come through with the clarity of truth, as do their parents and friends and those they meet along the way.<br/><br/>I lost count of how many times I laughed out loud while reading 'The Fault in Our Stars,' and the times I paused to think about some of Hazel's observations. I know I cried on page 90, and tears came again at the end. I know I'm glad I read it. I know I learned something new about myself because of reading it.<br/><br/>In the ocean of human experience, and in John Green's own words from one of his videos, 'The Fault in Our Stars' makes me ""grateful to be a little boat, full of water, still floating.""</span>"

2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R6PCCVD20TTXJ?ASIN=014242417X	Truly Horrifying	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I decided to read this book because all of the girls at school were reading it, and I wanted to give it a go, though I suspected that I wouldn't like it. Most of the people who enjoyed reading this book didn't read much and are total opposites of me. My best friend read it, and she hated it. She advised me not to read it, and I should have listened to her warning. Needless to say, I hated it. (Warning: Spoilers Ahead!!!) First of all, she (Hazel, the main character) tells the reader straight from the beginning that she is not pretty. A few pages later (Literally! Page 16, Chapter 1), a random stranger (Augustus/ Gus) tells her that she's beautiful. She then yells at him for smoking (Yes, yells at some dude she just met about smoking), and it turns out, he doesn't actually light the cigarette, it's a metaphor (Come on, Hazel. Why didn't you think of that?) He then proceeds to invite her over to watch a movie, and she goes to his house (Hello?! Stranger Danger, anyone?) She even says that he could be an ax murderer, but what the heck? Her life is boring, and she's depressed, so it's fine. Her mom actually let's her go to this stranger's house,with no question. The book continues with icky, gushy romance stuff, etc. Hazel is constantly reminding the reader of how hot Gus is, and what a deep thinker he is, and ooh he's so amazing! And then when he tries to kiss her, she panics. Either you like the guy, or you don't. Make up your mind! Hazel has this weird obsession with a book called An Imperial Affliction, about a girl with cancer. The book doesn't really finish, and Hazel just needs to find out what happens. So her and her boyfriend visit the author in the Netherlands, and it turns out he's a drunken lunatic. He tells them that they're going to die soon, and that people are only nice to them because they have cancer. How is a teenager with cancer going to feel when they read that. There is more cheesy and slightly inappropriate stuff, and before you know it, Gus is dead. Hazel then gets hysterical, and is not very nice to anyone, especially her parents. Then she finds a letter from Gus about how great she is, and the book ends. It starts depressing, and ends depressing. This book took me two days to read, and those are two days of my life that I'll never get back. I look forward to seeing the movie with my best friend for amusement. Lesson learned? Life is bad and never will be good. Also, there are some truly horrifying books in this world.</span>"

1.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2WLX50PP36ZG1?ASIN=014242417X	Review On The Fault in our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in our Stars is a young-adult fiction, romance novel written by John Green. The female protagonist in the book, Hazel Grace Lancaster who has had cancer in her lungs for 4 years is trying to live a normal life. Hazel has many thing in her life that prevent her from living normal, one being a support group she must go to every week in order to “help” her with her depression. The first support group meeting they have in the book Hazel runs into a kid name Augustus Waters. Later into her support group she ends up seeing Gus staring at her, the whole time. When Hazel walks into the parking lot Gus is there running after her waiting to say hello. The relationship of these two beings develops into something bigger, Hazel does not want it to on the other hand because she feels that she is a ticking time bomb that could explode and hurt anyone in her way. With a few bumps in the road these two lovebirds had almost made it.<br/>  The Fault in our Stars is an incredible book that can be inspiring to many people to show them that it will pay off to live life in the moment and to not live life in the past nor the future. Most of the time people think about the future or worrying about what happened the days before, but in the book The Fault in our Stars John Green shows through his characters Hazel and Augustus that it is only the present that counts. An example of this is when Hazel did not really think about the effects that could happen from her having cancer and going on an airplane but she instead chose to feel happy about doing something that her heart would follow. In this book John Green also shows how when one's unhappiness and not living life in the moment can affect them and people around them. One example of this is when Hazel was scared to let anyone into her life because she felt she was a ticking time bomb ready to explode. The author used this metaphor to show how when one day she passes she’s going to end up “destroying” the people who love her, which means she is thinking and living on what’s happening in the future.<br/>  The Fault in our Stars is overall a great book and I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a funny, thrilling, and a tragic reality of being alive and in love novel.<br/> The Fault in our Stars is an amazingly crafted novel and could teach you the true meanings in life.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1OYSLGFUCBEFK?ASIN=014242417X	YA fictional role models to be proud of!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I had no intention of staying up all night reading The Fault in Our Stars when I borrowed it up from my library’s digital book collection last Saturday, but somehow I did. I also had no intention of speed-reading through it, sobbing my eyes out and emptying a whole box of tissues in doing so, but I found myself staring at a pile of soggy tissues and wondering WTF I was thinking picking up such as sad book. (THIS IS WHY I HATE READING SAD BOOKS) Regardless of my hatred of a sad ending, I still found it in my heart to fall in love with The Fault in Our Stars.<br/><br/>Maybe it’s because one of the biggest themes of the story (not letting chronic illness rule our lives) hit home on my own chronic illness journey. This book was so relate-able in a way that anybody affected by chronic illness could draw comparisons to in their own lives. I respond well to characters I can relate to and I know that other people do as well. The Fault in Our Stars is one of the rare books where I didn’t hate any of the characters. It was fascinating how Green depicted these characters, it was really interesting to see how John imagined people would respond to facing their own mortality.<br/><br/>Hazel has spent her terminal diagnosis worried about how her death will affect her surviving family. She rarely cries or complains (unless someone says something stupid in trying to show sympathy – this happens to me often as well, so I mostly applauded her), only worries about her mom and dad putting their lives on hold to watch their only child die. Even though Hazel hates to admit it, I found her to be an incredibly inspiring and selfless main character. She is definitely one of the best young adult fictional role models out there, in my humble opinion. Reading about her struggle has taught me I need to stop and think who is listening before I complain about my aches and pains. The only problem I had with hazel is that she hated V for Vendetta!! How is that even possible??<br/><br/>Augustus was no slouch in terms of main characters, either. He feels a lot of loyalty and love for his friends – even when others may consider said friends to be bigger pains in the butt than they are worth. Gus is also pretty swell at reading people, and it was fun to watch him maneuver Hazel into finally living.<br/><br/>To sum up, Hazel and Gus were stellar main characters. They found a way to live life to the fullest for as long as they were given in a way that healthy people might never understand, but I do. People who scoff at learning life lessons in fiction, should read The Fault in Our Stars. Hell, everybody should read this book – even if you are like me and hate shedding tears or sad endings. Hazel and Gus are so worth the price of swollen eyes and a runny nose. You’ll need an inconvenient amount of tissues, but you’ll come out of the love story of Gus and Hazel glad you finally read it. I sure was!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2QKZMSGZYA493?ASIN=014242417X	A Genuine Tale of Love and Disease	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">As someone whose life has been intimately touched by cancer, I was extremely hesitant to read The Fault in Our Stars by John Green. Regardless of the positive reviews, bestselling status, and movie adaptation, I simply was not ready to subject my emotions to a book about the awful disease. As time passed, however, I was overcome with curiosity. A year after cancer invaded my life, I finally broke down and read the book that everyone was talking about.<br/><br/>Sixteen year old Hazel has a terminal case of cancer. An experimental drug has held the tumors at bay, but the threat of the disease remains. Her lungs regularly fill with fluid and she requires the assistance of an oxygen tank to help her breathe. There is no denying the truth. Cancer will kill Hazel. But there is much more to to this character than her illness. A voracious reader, college student (she completed her GED while undergoing treatments), and fan of America's Next Top Model, Hazel shares many attributes of a typical teenage girl. At the insistence of her overbearing mother, who fears her daughter is becoming a recluse, Hazel finds herself at a weekly support group for  critically ill teens. She grudgingly attends the meetings, but the shallow sentiments of the group leader and rotating group of teens (it's hard to keep a consistent membership when all of the members are terminally ill) do little to interest Hazel.<br/><br/>It is at these meetings where Hazel first meets Augustus Waters. A lanky, attractive, former high school basketball star, Gus lost one of his legs to cancer. The young man seems to live life by his own rules. For example, Gus frequently places an unlit cigarette in his mouth, a metaphor for controlling  something that has the power to kill him. The two immediately hit it off, bonding over literature and philosophizing about life and death. As their romance blossoms, they face the ugly truths about cancer and the ways the disease will inevitably affect their relationship.<br/><br/>John Green does an incredible job of accurately portraying the horrors of cancer and the way it shapes the lives of those who come in contact with it. As a young adult novel, this book could easily have fallen into the trap of romanticizing a love story about teens facing the hardships of a disease. Fortunately, Green's characters are written with the kind of depth that allows readers to naturally become enraptured in their story. It is great to see an author write intelligent characters who are smart because of their thoughts and actions. . . not because he told us they were! There are no ""against all odds"" or ""wisdom beyond age"" sentiments in this story. Rather, the character grapple with the fear and unknown that comes with a terminal diagnosis. We see the horrific toll that cancer can take on the human body, mind, and soul. Yes, cancer largely influences the story, but it is the incredible, once in a lifetime kind of love between Hazel and Gus, that makes The Fault in Our Stars the rare, must read book that it is.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3SAYF5J7BX556?ASIN=014242417X	Enjoyable, though miscommunicated	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read this book a while ago and thought it was brilliant, to the point of almost perfection.<br/>Reading it again, I have now come to the realization that it is...well...not.<br/><br/>I'd like to mention that this first point wouldn't have been made by me had it not been for another helpful reader who proclaimed that the ending is totally predictable. The first time, I honestly had no idea. The second time (though this answer may be a bit biased having already known what the ending was before picking up the book), I realized that the ending was predictable beyond words. Like a suicide victim, the signs are all there for anyone to see them. I mean (I'm only doing this because I feel as if everyone in the world is already aware of the ending) Augustus talks about dying throughout the entire book even though he seems perfectly healthy. Then, would do you know? Hazel gets über sick. It's totally obvious. I feel as if John Green had his devious plot twist already anointed, and maybe he was TRYING to make the reader see the truth. I don't know. Point is, the end is way more predictable than it should be. I like being surprised. But then again, that's just me. Maybe you hate surprises. I'll never know.<br/><br/>My second point is the dialogue. Dialogue is fun! Dialogue is easy! Dialogue seems to flow right from the pen! The hard part is making it sound realistic, which Green did not manage to accomplish. If Hazel and Augustus were any two actual teenagers (especially living in Indianapolis, I'm sorry), they would not be speaking through words like ""haram"" and ""entendre"" and ""soliloquy"". Even the most intellectual of teenagers do not speak like this. Even the most intellectual of ADULTS do not speak like this. Though their conversations are fun and easy-going, it's not realistic which sort of turned me off (in the book sense of the phrase, of course).<br/><br/>I noticed while reading the Hunger Games again (I was on a read-everything-over-again marathon), John Green said that THG was brilliantly paced. And it was. (At least the first book was, but that's a whole another realm). This book, however, was not. I found myself saying, multiple times, ""Wait...that already happened?"" The first time I read this, I admit, I thought the pace was gold. This time, I found myself disgusted that two virtual strangers would go on a trip together, while in love!, after meeting each other merely like what? Two days ago? That's what it seemed like to me. It was too rushed. The whole book seemed to just be leaping to get to the ending.<br/><br/>My last argument against this book is the tense. I am 97% sure that this is something normal people do notice (and 100% sure that there are 4,000 things I did not notice that normal people did), but I am not a normal person. After having started the feat of a novel myself, I realized that words flew easily, dialect flew easily, plot was a snowball rolling downhill at exorbitant speeds; but tense was the hardest thing of all. By far. So I don't blame Green for his mistakes. After all it is such a tiny thing. How strange that the tiniest little things stump even the greatest of authors? Most authors write books in past tense, because it's easier. But Green challenged his writing capabilities and attempted present tense, which is really cool in my opinion. That being said, he did butcher it in a couple of places. But then again, we all do sometimes.<br/><br/>That being said, I want to say that I did really enjoy the book. It was an easy read, and took me only about 3-4 hours to finish. But that's what I wanted. It's not mind-blowing or all-encompassing. It doesn't reach out to all people and touch their hearts in a soothing embrace. It doesn't satisfy the needs of every crazed romantic. But it is enjoyable, and it made me laugh. It was very funny, something that I really like about Green books--no matter what they are, they're always funny. Obviously a good thing.<br/> It also made me cry, which is huge. I often judge books like these on their ability to make me cry (call me a masochist, whatever), something that this book did. Why would I judge a book in such a horrible way? Because if the book makes me cry, it means I actually care about the characters (or it means I dropped the book on my face while reading on my bed and it was a hardcover and it really hurt, but that's not the case with this book). And if I care about the characters, it means the author (sacred things that they are) wrote them well enough and deep enough to the extent of apathy being lost. One of the major downfalls of all great books is character development (or lack thereof). Green, however, managed to create a deep, though slightly boyish (it's understandable), character with real-life feelings and real-life emotions (though no real-life dialect). And she made me cry. It was brilliant.<br/>I guess my point is that, though the book has many mistechnicalities, it's not past the point of salvation; it was still thoroughly enjoyable.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R108I7BL1TVS6F?ASIN=014242417X	Good take on a taboo subject	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">With so many reviews, it'll be hard to come up with anything that hasn't been touched on, but I liked it enough to add a say or two to what's here.<br/><br/>The negatives seem to focus mostly on the book's plot and language being rather contrived. Um, I hate to state the obvious--but it is fiction, folks. Actually, I don't read much fiction myself, but I found the book a wonderful window into a world not many are privy to--that of the young who have lessons we can learn from as well. That in itself is probably too foreign to many readers; they can't stand the thought of young people with a message (I'm in my 60's, btw).<br/><br/>It seems like the naysayers must be robots who like their fiction safe and always predictable. And, of course, one of the book's very themes touches on the wild and totally unpredictable ride the dying trip can involve. It does often alter perspectives, sometimes dramatically. It does make life seem almost metaphorical. In general, you can't lump all people of any age into one type, especially those on the terminal illness slope. Judging the book's characters on that basis is odd; the author had a tale which he handled well. Actually, I did think a bit of the plot was contrived--guess what? It's fiction! But obviously, it touched a lot of people.<br/><br/>I came to this book not colored by anything the author had already written, nor have I seen the movie version, other than YouTube snippets (movies by their nature usually diminish one's book experience). And, as mentioned, I rarely read fiction anyway. But I found the book to be a quality presentation of what remains unseen and sanitized by most, so kudos to Mr. Green's take...I found the characters quite ""real"" based on what I myself have observed.<br/><br/>It's a remarkable tale, and sure, the plot isn't universally applicable (fiction, remember!). Nor are the characters robot-like--they even speak metaphorically sometimes (horrors!). But if death doesn't bring out metaphors, what will?</span>"

That's where she meet's Augusta, the one who will steal her heart and give her the love that they both never thought they would never have.<br/><br/>Augusta is now cancer free and one leg down.

He's held onto it all this time and now they will finally be able to sit and talk to this author about the book that brought them together.<br/><br/>I SERIOUSLY CAN'T GIVE THIS BOOK THE REVIEW IT NEEDS. IT DESERVES A REVIEW THAT I CAN'T WRITE, IT'S JUST THAT GOOD.

This is why she isn't letting herself get close to him, but he wants her to be his grenade. They have the love that some can only wish for. They have true love.<br/><br/>This book had me laughing, with her and Augusta's words. It had me balling like a baby.<br/><br/>I applaud John Green for writing a book in a females perspective. WOW, he did such a wonderful job. Like I said, I couldn't put it down and read for a solid 5 1/2 hrs straight. I had to finish it.<br/><br/>I can't wait to see this amazing book turned into a movie and see the characters I fell in love with on screen.

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RZEAYAFBTI175?ASIN=014242417X	Grab the tissue	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is a story of a quiet tragedy, love, and an undeniable reality. Parts of it are thought provoking, parts funny, and parts heart wrenching. As a parent of a child who has health issues and a brain tumor(thankfully benign) and as a former child who has faced death and a life of drs, it was particularly heart breaking. The parents in character. Their grief both before and after death, their fears and the mother's propensity to celebrate everything, their lives revolving around keeping their child alive, the quiet desperation was authentic.<br/>My complaints about the book are likely heard in many other book reviews of both this and any other book out there. Similar to Hazel's complaint. What happens to her?<br/>I've read other reviews who say that teenagers can't possibly speak this way. I've had friends who spoke that way as an inherent part of their personality. They were deeply reflective and confident in their beliefs. We had witty conversations. Not all teenagers dwell on looks, cars, football and who's hooking up with who. I say these reviewers have never known a sick child. It doesn't even have to be cancer. A child who has a chronic illness for example endures treatment, Dr visits, and knows more about disease and sacrifice than any healthy adult would dream. A child who is dying even more so. Facing mortality or morbidity strips away so many of the meaningless details of life. It forces one to face who you really truly are. It gives you fear, for yourself, for your loved ones. It causes pain that you are the sole reason those who love you look haunted and cry at night. Sick children are the same as adults when you strip it down. They carry the same burdens, hold the same hope, and are subject to their own inherent personalities.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2YI0EDS9VGGF1?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in Our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">John Green writes a horribly wonderful story about life, love, and cancer, with disappointment and reality on the side, in his novel, The Fault in Our Stars. Hazel's parents believe that she is depressed and they force her to go to group therapy sessions. She completely hates group therapy until Augustus Waters shows up, an osteosarcoma survivor. Thinking that Hazel looks just like Natalie Portman in V for Vendetta, he invites her to watch her doppelganger movie. And thus, the story of faulty fated love begins.<br/><br/>Hazel is the girl I'd imagine a friend with terminal cancer to act like. She's blunt, witty, honest, intelligent, demanding, and full of spirit. What she shares with her readers is edgy and open, a diary spray-painted on downtown buildings. The connection readers feel with Hazel beings with sympathy. As she describes her illness and the waves of honesty swell and crash upon the reader, that sympathy turns to understanding and, in eventually, empathy. With Hazel's blunt force trauma of words, readers get it. They can grasp what they may have never experienced. Throughout the novel, which is just over 300 pages, readers see all sides of living with illness. There are situational examples of fear, hope, love, joy, depression, jealousy, despair, surprise, and preparation.<br/><br/>The Fault in Our Stars focuses on Hazel and Augustus, depicting how they help each other to live a forever in a limited infinite. When Hazel shares her favorite book with Augustus, he has the same reaction she does: how can an author write a book without an ending? Luckily, Augustus has saved his wish so the two teens can fly to Amsterdam, where the author lives, and ask him what exactly happened to the characters after the last sentence was cut off and the story ended.<br/><br/>The Fault in Our Stars was a miracle of misery, it had me laughing out loud and quietly crying in a subsequent nature. The only, dare I say, problem I had with the novel was the dialogue. I felt like the terminology and use of the English language was too old for Hazel and Augustus. Certainly not very often, but a few times, I had trouble imagining that a girl of sixteen, or a boy of seventeen, would have such advanced conversations. But, now that I've said that, I loved the way they spoke. I wish everyone spoke with such honesty and a highly developed vocabulary. It helped the quotes from T.S. Eliot et al fit right in.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2GUTG0KSWDGTO?ASIN=014242417X	Beyond doubt one of the best books I have ever read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is not just about cancer. Nor is it just about love. But when both concepts are combined, Gus and Hazel become alive in out hearts and minds and leave us wondering about the true meaning of love and life,and how to live it right. I can't quite thoroughly explain how much this book has, and still is, left me thinking about how metaphors are everywhere in life- surrounding us, haunting us with ideas of a universe that our minds cannot fully comprehend. Because intelligence such as these two people  have shared can only take us so far, and in my mind, The Fault in Our Stars, even in the title, suggests that we will never know, but we can live as though everyday is our last, and that sometimes, we don't need a whole understanding of the world for our hearts and souls to be whole. John Green has written such a philosophical book for such young people, and I believe that it's popularity has been reached by the inquisitive and restless minds of this generation, young people who are beginning to understand the themes in the book, not only the plot, which is quite extraordinary as well. I read the book months before the movie came out, and I loved it so much. ""Life doesn't have to be perfect for love to be extraordinary"" is such an incredibly thought provoking theme, as well. As for the events in the story, well Hazel and Gus are two teens with cancer....but this is not just a cancer story;  cancer is only the hamartia, or fatal flaw of these characters, as everyone has one. Hazel, the narrator, expresses that she fears that she is a grenade, as she is so sick that if she passes, she will hurt the people that love her most. Hazel has lung cancer, but has not allowed it to completely take her over, as she has a favorite book- An Imperial Affliction-  a rather cynical, pessimistic realism of cancer and dying, which she finds rather agreeable and falls in love with the book. When she meets Augustus Waters, a clever, equal to her own cynical but intelligent personality, the two travel to Amsterdam to consult the author of the book on it's disappointing and abrupt ending... and this is where I feel a metaphor was put in by the author (no spoilers though)  They fall in love and we discover that even people who seem perfect do of course have a fatal flaw....as the ending will most likely leave you in tears. The book itself and the ideas presented in in most likely leave you realizing that there is no true meaning of life, but that life has meaning, if you can understand that.Maybe I'm rather over thinking it, but John Green, no matter how eccentric and hilarious, wrote it perhaps with this in mind- that when presented with a beautifully written book, readers will most likely let their minds travel to the unknown and un- comprehendable.It seems to amaze me,  since my own mind cannot fully be fathom into constellations of thought, that Green could write such a meaningful book with such intricate little universal bits of genius, and still stitch a plot of wonder, humor, and incredible characters. I would recommend this to anyone of ten and older, as it is sure to be a contemporary classic</span>"

Because I needed to read it today. No two years ago. Today.<br/><br/>What can i say that haven't been said? There's a quote i love a lot : No Two Persons Ever Read the Same Book.  That's so true.  So this review will come from the bottom of my heart.<br/><br/>I learned everything about cancer and chemotherapy when I was 13 years old. I don't say I am a Cancer Survivor. I always say cancer didn't survive ME. Hazel and Gus are so much like me. Gus was so much like me. This book made me relive all those years of Pain, Loss and Survival. That being said. I will review now this masterpiece.<br/><br/>This books is Beautiful. Inspirational. Real. Touching and Heartbreaking.  The way John Green wrote it, I can't say he did a good job. Good is a weak word. John Green did a Powerful, Believable, Awe-inspiring story about Cancer. About Cancer patients. Teenage Cancer patients.<br/><br/>This book has a strong message. Life doesn't end because you have cancer. Everybody is going to die eventually. We are not immortals. We have to live everyday like it's the last. Love with all our heart and soul. Live without fears. Love without regrets.<br/><br/>I laughed. I cried. I fell in love all over again with the idea of love.  I know what you are going to say: Life is cruel and unfair. We all know that. We don't always get our HEA. We all know that. The important thing is Living. Experiencing. Loving. Making memories.<br/><br/>Love can't be measured by how long you have been with someone or by moments spent together. Love can't be measured. Period. Love just happens and It's INTENSE. So if you have the chance to fall in love for a week, a month, a year . . . If you get the chance to fall in love, let it happen. It might be not easy. It might hurt. Just keep in mind. It will be worth it!<br/><br/>I Don't Recommend this Book. I will tell you, YOU HAVE TO READ THIS BOOK.<br/><br/>Five OKAY ✭✭✭✭✭ stars are not enough.<br/><br/>Thank you to John Greene. This is the kind of book that will be close to my heart until the day I die ( Not forever because I'm not a god, I know ) and Thank you for Hazel and Gus.<br/><br/>""But, Gus, my love, I cannot tell you how thankful I am for our little infinity.

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">When I first came across this book several months ago I wasn’t sure I really wanted to commit to reading what I just knew would probably be a depressing, tear jerker of a book. Don’t get me wrong I love good emotional books, but it’s like pulling teeth for me to go into a book knowing its probably going to leave me depressed.  But, like many of you, my TV began to be flooded with the trailer for the movie version, it’s like The Fault in Our Stars was screaming at me from every which direction to just get over my reservations and jump on in!<br/><br/>I am so glad I jumped because this book was nothing like I feared.  Yes, I cried but instead of being depressed it was almost as if it left me feeling uplifted.  I know crazy right?  How could that possibly come after reading a book about teens with cancer?  Honestly, it’s hard to explain but if you don’t read any further in this review, please just know I think this book is one everyone should read.  Don’t miss out because you will not be able to walk away unchanged.  The Fault in Our Stars is powerful, emotional, wonderful and its a definite must-read!<br/><br/>The Fault in Our Stars is told in the voice of main character Hazel.  A young teen who has been fighting cancer on and off for the last several years and who now needs the assistance of a breathing machine.  The cancer keeps trying to claim her life but her body isn’t ready to give up.  She has good days and bad ones and outside of her parents and the support group she is forced to attend she spends her life watching reality TV, taking classes at the local community college, and reading.  She’s read her favorite book, an Imperial Affliction, more times than she can remember, it’s as though the author is speaking directly to her.  Like he knows all about her and her fight with cancer.  The book’s ending is abrupt, just like her life potentially could be, and she desperately seeks the answers as to the outcomes of what happens after.<br/><br/>One day at cancer support group she meets new comer Augustus.  She finds herself intrigued and these two start off down the road of friendship, eventually falling in love.  Augustus has never met anyone quite like Hazel and he cannot help but fall for her, however, hopeless it may seem to fall for a girl whose dying.  These two and their passion for an Imperial Affliction leads them on a quest to meet the author and finally have their answers.<br/><br/>I loved both Hazel and Augustus.  Their outlooks on cancer and their life, came across as genuine.  They’re just teenagers who drew the short end of the stick of life.  Forced to grow up and miss out on some many rites of passage.  Their stuck between death and life, trying to make the best out of a crap situation.<br/><br/>Their friendship, camaraderie and love for one another completely changes each of them.  I truly enjoyed seeing them find their humor in such crap circumstances.  Honestly there were multiple points in this story that I found myself crying ugly tears while laughing hysterically.  Obviously this was written by an incredibly talented, genius of an author.  Please take my advice and read The Fault in Our Stars for yourself, I don’t believe there is any way you can walk away from the experience disappointed.  I just hope the movie turns out as great as the book!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2T4RGWUGXKXSK?ASIN=014242417X	Just amazing.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I had every intention of being one of the people who didn't absolutely adore this book. Not because I'm being mean or cliche or any other insult, but because after knowing what it was about I didn't expect the book to pull me in like it ended up doing. To be honest when I first started reading, I didn't think I was going to love it. You see, I was expecting a great book, but I was not expecting a book that would be just world shattering. Let me tell you, The Fault In Our Stars is much more than I expected, it is an emotion draining, yet comical masterpiece.<br/><br/>After reading this book, you sit here wishing Augustus Waters were real because he would be an embodiment of all that is good in the world. I just adored Augustus in every way. His titled gait attached to a sexy fella, his love for action books and movies, his brain that can easily morph the worst situations in humor (""I lit up like a Christmas Tree""), and his words that (regardless of what he thought) are so beautifully written.<br/><br/>There is a delicacy that I am writing with when I write about these characters, but in truth they are nothing close to delicate. They are strong and filled with so many layers. Hazel Grace, who is only sixteen and yet deals everyday with cancer, with being an early college student, with falling in love so hard yet still worrying if everything will be destroyed. However, regardless of everything she deals with, she gives all of her strength to others who need it and doesn't let something that she can't control stop her.<br/><br/>The characters in this book are inspirations. Cancer or not, they would still be inspirations just because of their attitudes and wills to not only live, but love. I truly don't think this book is meant to be a sad one, but it will pull at all of your emotions and lord help me, I'm so damn glad it did.<br/><br/>Other than Will Grayson, Will Grayson, this is my first true John Green book and I am utterly amazed. His writing is just...so good. I know good is such a mediocre adjective, but I mean so good that there is just no point in finding a better adjective. I love the humor, the impressive vocabulary, and the way that he makes you feel his writing. This book just blew my mind and I absolutely adored it.<br/><br/>Ps. Brooke Lynn, I am SO sorry it took me so long to read this. I am obviously an idiot for not picking it up the moment you send it to me two years ago. *kicks myself* YOU ARE THE BEST!</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RCLBXG98XY06T?ASIN=014242417X	Devoured in ONE day...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I was not sure how I would feel about this book at first, just because of the premise of the story. I am so glad I decided to read it. This book is about so much more than cancer. It is about living your life, and not letting yourself become a side-effect to your illness. Hazel is a strong girl who is afraid that she is just a grenade to her parents and the people around her. Her mom tired of her sitting around the house being depressed makes her go to a support group with other kids that are either fighting cancer or in remission. I really liked the characters and felt that John did a great job with how they interacted with one another. She seems to have found a friend in the group named Isaac, a boy who has lost his eye due to his cancer. Upon Isaac's insistence he convinces his friend Augustus also known as GUS to come with him one night. And when Hazel notices him eyeing her the whole night she is not sure what to do. After all she is just a grenade you know. I so want to tell you more about the story and I could talk about a-lot of it but I want you to feel it for yourself. Just know that the relationship that those two have is special. We all hope to live forever but how do you deal with it when there becomes a time-stamp on your life? And although it is a fictional story you could feel real emotion. From the kids and the parents. Speaking of Hazel's parents LOVE THEM... They just want their daughter to have the best ""Life"" that she can no matter the length in a live everyday like it is your last kind of way. The story moved at a great pace and I could NOT put it down, in fact it left me with a book hangover.. If you love adventures and a bit of mystery, as there is a story with in the story, you MUST read this one but you might want to have the tissues handy just in case.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2FR3FIR15V1RM?ASIN=014242417X	KIDS WITH A UNIQUE PERSPECTIVE	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">They met in a cancer support group:  Hazel Lancaster, a sixteen-year-old victim of thyroid cancer that has migrated to her lungs; and Augustus Waters, seventeen, in remission after bone cancer cost him one leg.<br/><br/>Their eyes connected across the room, and an instant spark ignites between them.<br/><br/>As love stories go, this one might seem unlikely, and as romantic characters, some might question these two.  But from the very first page, it was impossible not to sense something special between them.<br/><br/>Narrated in Hazel's first-person voice, we are privy to their intelligent and witty dialogue, with its hint of sarcasm.  We learn more about them from these moments than any other back story could offer.  The story is set in their home town of Indianapolis, Indiana.<br/><br/>Hazel's favorite novel, which she has reread several times, is called An Imperial Affliction, by Peter Von Houten, and is narrated by a dying woman.  Because the story ends mid-sentence, Hazel is obsessed with finding out the ending for the other characters.  After Augustus also reads the book, the two of them develop a plan.  To visit the author in Amsterdam, compliments of the Wish foundation.<br/><br/>What happens to the two of them in Amsterdam?  Are they able to find the answers they seek?  What do they do when Van Houten shows them a disappointing flaw in his character?  And what unexpected truths does Van Houten later share?<br/><br/>In the final moments of <a class=""a-link-normal"" href=""/The-Fault-in-Our-Stars/dp/B005ZOBNOI"">The Fault in Our Stars</a>, we are gripped with the reality of what will surely transpire for these individuals...and for us, since we are now invested in their destiny.  From Van Houten's book, Hazel and Augustus have gleaned this philosophy of sick kids as ""side effects,"" a way of accepting their situation:<br/><br/>""Cancer kids are essentially side effects of the relentless mutation that made the diversity of life on earth possible.""<br/><br/>These characters are like real people, and as such, have their good days and bad days.  Sometimes their frustrations come out like an explosion, while at other times, the characters glean the necessary support from their group and their families to live each day to the fullest.  I liked the characters because they are not like the superficial teenagers that are often spotlighted in YA books.  For this reason, I enjoyed them and wanted to root for them.  The fact that they are unusual does not make them less believable, as some have noted, but makes them likeable.<br/><br/>It is impossible not to feel connected to these two characters and to empathize with how their lives have taken them on a journey they would not have chosen for themselves.  But without this journey, they might not have met.  Was this destiny the fault of their stars?  An unforgettable story that will live on past the final page.  5.0 stars.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1H936B4AXF4UJ?ASIN=014242417X	Thanks to my granddaughter for recommending this book to me.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I can't stop thinking about this book.  It has invaded my dreams.  I try to keep up with what my two granddaughters are reading and I always go and read what they tell me they've been reading for school.  For school?  My just-turned-thirteen year old younger granddaughter is reading about adolescents dying of cancer?  And she's assigned this book?  Won't it scare her?  Give her nightmares?  Make her cry?  And if it does those things, is that supposed to be a good educational experience?<br/><br/>I don't know the answers to those questions.<br/><br/>I read it.  It's like nothing I ever ever read when I was her age.  Sure, I read Dostoyevsky when I was her age.  And there were some pretty scary things happening in those books.  But -- it wasn't in the 20th century and it wasn't in this country, and it hadn't even been written in English.  so I was safe.  It wasn't going to, couldn't happen to me.  And besides, it wasn't assigned reading.  I read those books inside the books I was supposed to be reading.  You know, the textbooks were big and the library books were small and I could read them without anyone knowing I was reading them.  And I think that the fact that the books hadn't been assigned made me feel safer reading them than I would have felt if they had been assigned.<br/><br/>For many years I have had a peculiar kind of respect for the people who wanted to censor books even though I thought they were completely wrong to do so.  But at least they seemed to have respect for the power of books to have an impact on how readers could have their experience of life, of the world, changed by what they read.  It seemed to me that many of the people who decried the calls for censorship didn't have as much belief in the power of literature to have life-changing influence on readers.<br/><br/>So -- should 13 year olds be encouraged to read book like this one (and the other book by John Green that she told me was also important to her -- the book with Alaska in the title)?  It has certainly led to some interesting conversations between us.  And she seems to be handling what she's read quite well.  But how can anyone handle something so grievous as the relentlessness of a disease that kills children?  I don't know.<br/><br/>But we do agree that the book is beautifully written.  And the characters are absolutely real to us.<br/><br/>Why is this book relegated to the category of young adult?<br/><br/>How soon will I stop thinking and dreaming about the book?  Because I confess that the things I worried about disturbing her have disturbed me.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1UN4HI1EMD0GO?ASIN=014242417X	Decent, but Not AMAZING	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I'm going to come out and say I hadn't heard a word of this book until I'd gone to the movie theater where it was advertised legitimately everywhere. I spend more time reading than anything else so I decided, ""Hey, The Hunger Games was pretty good; why not?""<br/> Blindly, I spent the five bucks and started reading. No matter how good or bad a book is, I'm one of those avid readers that just wants to know how it all ends so I read and read and read until my eyes burn. I finished the book in less than a day.<br/><br/>Good News, first.<br/> It's quite obvious a lot of effort went in to creating the book and I'm guessing Green has a fascination with the very existence of existing since this is a concept frequently expanded on.<br/>(SPOILERS AHEAD: BEWARE)<br/><br/> Hazel, the main protagonist, is a strange character with an interesting view point on the circumstance she is in. Like some have said, the story is basically hopeless: beginning, continuing, and ending with nothing gained nor lost. I think that's what Green was trying to portray since cancer is often a hopeless disease. My mom had thyroid cancer while pregnant with me and I can't say that she had much hope, although she is still alive today.<br/>Back to Hazel, she virtually begins as a cancer patient who doesn't believe in love before becoming a person with cancer who fell in love, but still finds it to be a strange concept while rejecting the idea of heaven altogether. She's not wishy-washy or a Mary Sue, rather a whole new type of character that I hear as just a monotone voice in the back of my head spewing philosophical-insight with no real belief in what she's saying.<br/> She's also awkward. She doesn't know what she wants and seems to be completely sheltered from everything, unless it's cancer related of course. While I understand this, it also seems unrealistic.<br/><br/>Her parents are otherwise static characters, not changing very much until the mid-end when (SPOILER) Augustus is about to die. He's literally on his freaking deathbed, days away from meeting the Grim Reaper, and her parents start complaining about not seeing her around anymore. It's a bit of a put-off. I can understand why they fear how many days they have left with her, but she has far more time than the half-alive (or half-dead) Gussy, Gussy, Gussy.<br/> Let the kid mourn her first true love!<br/><br/>Augustus is the perpetually charismatic, easy-going, intelligent while also sort-of funny boyfriend. The exchanges between him and Issac were perhaps my favorite since they showed the relationship of two friends that rather forget and deal later, one of the most realistic situations in the whole book.<br/> He remains this happy-go-lucky guy (SPOILER) up until Amsterdam when he-after leaving the center of the Virgin Diagram-tells Hazel his cancer has spread to his entire body, marking him up as terminal. Their remaining time is spent in a repetitive cycle in which they talk about death, discuss the universe's need to be noticed, kiss, nap, repeat. It's sad with an undertone of hopelessness, the key word of this novel that is never even used.<br/><br/>Issac was hands down my favorite character. While his appearances were few, he held the most... unapologetic tone of them all. He was blunt while being rude in a way that offended no one. The loss of his girlfriend was rash, but the reasoning was quite understandable.<br/><br/>Bad News:<br/><br/> I don't feel like this story is all it's been cracked up to be. I purchased it thinking I was going to get a thought-provoking novel that'd only encourage this desire to see the movie, but I'm less than disappointed. I'm still going to see the movie simply because well, I'd like to see how the director adapts it and perhaps, even improves on what lacked in the book.<br/>What I received was most likely the sequel to The Imperial Affliction with a side of overly advanced vocabulary where it wasn't needed. Teenagers don't speak the way these teenagers speak; I would know considering I am one and, without meaning to be vain, the more eloquent of speakers myself.<br/> Hazel and Augustus's love story was meant to be something that it wasn't. It's tragic, yes, and hopeless from the beginning, but it wasn't much more. They never found anything in one another other than someone else who had cancer and, in a nutshell, didn't really believe anything would get better-with or without the disease.<br/><br/>So, all in all, it's a decent three starred book (more like 2.5) and I'm hoping the story will become something worth the money on the big screen. I'm not sorry I read the book because it was different from anything I've read before, in the best and worst way possible.<br/> If you read this and are in debate on whether or not to read the novel, ask yourself this:<br/><br/>Do I want to read a perpetually hopeless story of a girl and boy who both have a high risk of dying from page one that are made out to be star-crossed lovers, but really are just two kids with a limited lifespan and too much time on their hands?<br/><br/> If yes, don't read it. You're kidding yourself.<br/> If no, give it a shot; what have you got to lose? (besides $4.99)<br/><br/>REASON BEHIND THE STARS:<br/>The book took a lot of time to write = 1 star<br/>The book is well written, no grammar errors, etc. = 1 star<br/>The idea is not one I've come across before, therefore it deserves a certain amount of attention because I was surprised to have read something ""different"". It's creative aspects are not to be downplayed, but it's emotional connection is lacking = 1 star.<br/><br/>Overall: three stars - Certified: C+<br/> (Graded on a curve.)</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1NRSR7T87VU07?ASIN=014242417X	Review - The Fault in Our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Original review posted here:  [...]<br/><br/>Inexplicably popular books take up the vast majority of shelf space in bookstores across the country. When John Green's The Fault in Our Stars was released, I had heard about it briefly and saw the rave reviews come flooding in. The only reason I could think of for this sudden, acclaimed reception was that John Green is the author. Only, I hadn't yet discovered that in order to fully determine the quality of something one has no clue of, one must endeavor to investigate said thing to make a concrete proclamation. Consequently, as a good reviewer and reader always should, I took it upon myself to investigate this book before the movie comes out on June 6th. The Fault in Our Stars proves to be a lovely--albeit heartbreaking--story sometimes clogged by forced existentialism.<br/><br/>The story begins in Indianapolis with sixteen-year-old Hazel Grace attending her cancer support group. She has had thyroid cancer all her life, and it has spread to her lungs despite the lack of tumors in her body at the moment we meet her. In the support group one day, she meets a seventeen-year-old osteosarcoma survivor, and consequential amputee, named Augustus Waters. The two hit it off, and we begin to see that they're both incredibly smart and genuinely fond of one another. The relationship blooms over the course of the story as Augustus manages to help one of Hazel's dreams come true: to meet her favorite author and find out how a cliffhanger novel that the man wrote turns out.<br/><br/>The characters in Green's novel are very, very well drawn and developed on a real scale; I found it incredibly easy to think that this is a story that could have happened with currently-existing people. The emotional rollercoaster Green sends us on is a sort of thing that happens every day, and granted, I think anyone who picks this up and knows that both of the characters are at-risk for cancer recurrence. Nonetheless, the description of what happens (I refuse to tell you) is so accurate, that my heart squeezed in on itself the further in I read. For those of us who have had failing loved ones, Green's novel makes it a process that comes as a thing easier to accept than do a lot of novels along these medical-story veins.<br/><br/>While the characterization and story was believable, poignant, and very well done, there are moments within the novel that clog it beyond being reasonable. For instance, what drags the story down is the frequent--and often indecipherable--existentialist parallels that Augustus makes. Hazel, in fact, makes observations about life and the way the world weaves itself together with meetings and partings in beautiful little snippets; for instance, she makes several references in different places about how the shadows and light mingle together when trees cast the shadows of their branches on her and Augustus. Augustus has an unfortunate tendency to ramble and make little to no sense when speaking of...well, whatever it is he starts trying to sound important about. Overall, the story itself progressed nicely: beginning, middle, end, filled with complications and obstacles and pain, as a good story should be. The thing that dragged it down was the forced philosophy.<br/><br/>Alcohol and drugs didn't play a massive part in the story, but they were certainly present: Peter van Houten drinks frequently to avoid life, Hazel and Augustus have champagne a few times, and Augustus has cigarettes he holds in his mouth but doesn't smoke (as a symbolic representation of facing that which can kill you only if you let it). I don't think prescription meds count as ""drugs"" here, but they're in the novel too. The only ""violent"" action would be when Hazel flips Peter's scotch glass up in his face after he's very rude to her. Profanity is present throughout; nothing gratuitous, however. As for sensuality, two people are seen making out in public, and Hazel and Augustus do end up having sex, though we are not shown it.<br/><br/>After having read and evaluated how The Fault in Our Stars reached popularity, I can see how Green's writing skill in storytelling and developing earns well-deserved praise. However, everything that could have been cut and replaced to avoid clunkiness and clogging, should have had that done so. Here we are, though, with a final product that is good, but not the best it could be. In terms of connecting humans as we are where we stand, I think Green does a lovely job there. Despite its flaws, The Fault in Our Stars is an excellent story, reminding us that indeed we are limited in our time here on Earth. Every second counts, but not every second needs to be filled with meaningless attempts at forcing philosophy into our lives. God will lead us if we let Him; and when He becomes all we need, He Himself shows us the beauty in His life, as well as the beauty in our deaths.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2DTMUA9W60FJW?ASIN=014242417X	Incredible YA fiction	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Being the mother of a 19-year-old, I have had plenty of opportunities to read YA fiction as I have read many of the same books my daughter has.  When I try to compare this to other novels geared toward this demographic, the books that come closest are the Harry Potter books.  Wildly different genres with one group being highly imaginative fantasy and the other nitty-gritty life, but they are on par with each other.  The reason I say this is that neither book talks down to their intended audience.  They assume young readers are intelligent, thoughtful readers, and can process story lines beyond those that are typical.  While The Hunger Games and Divergent are both best selling movies and books, this book is much better than either of those in my opinion.<br/><br/>It was very interesting that when I looked at other reviews, a common complaint was the way the main characters spoke and their advanced maturity level.  In direct opposition to this reaction, my first reaction to the book was how WELL John Green captured the teenage mind and spirit.  To be frank, the vast majority of teenagers seem largely concerned with Justin Beiber, what they are going to wear, and what celebrities are in the news.  However, that is a stereotype that doesn't hold true for all teenagers. During the years of needing to drive my daughter and her friends around because they were too young to drive, I have heard words and phrases come out of their mouths that were very similar to much of the dialogue of the book.  One review specifically noted ""breakfast exclusivity"" as something no teenager would ever say and I can assure you there are teenagers that would think, and say, something exactly like this.  I think John Green has done one of the most outstanding jobs of representing the teenager as I have seen the species, up close and personal.<br/><br/>An outstanding book that will appeal to both YA and adult reader, as young adult fiction should.  Excellent</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RFF2IX0HWC8M6?ASIN=014242417X	One of the two best books I have ever read!!!!!!!!!!!!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars is one of the best books I have ever read. No, it is not a fantasy book full of sword fighting, dragons, wizards, and monsters. It is a drama/romance book about two teens named Augustus Waters and Hazel Grace Lancaster who meet and fall in love at a Support Group.<br/>  But these two teens aren't completely normal teens. No, they are not vampires or werewolves. They are cancer patients.<br/>  John Green writes this book in a most amazing way that contains no fault. Instead of tossing numerous characters at you, he gradually introduces you to them one by one. Hazel Grace Lancaster is our narrator of the story. She is always very honest and fascinating. We learn that she had lung cancer and as a result, has to carry around a portable oxygen tank, which Hazel calls Philip, that delivers oxygen to her ""crap lungs that suck at being lungs."" Hazel is depressed at the beginning at the story, so her mother sends her to a cancer support group, where she meets Augustus Waters, a 17-year-old teen who has a prosthetic leg. Augustus instantly falls in love with Hazel, while Hazel just wishes they can be friends. Hazel describes herself as a ""grenade"" meaning she could blow up any moment and hurt Augustus. While Augustus is no-evidence-of-cancer, Hazel is still very sick. Knowing she could die at any time, Hazel wishes they just be friends.<br/>  Hazel introduces Augustus to her favorite book, An Imperial Affliction, a book about a girl who has cancer which ends right in the middle of a sentence. Hazel and Augustus are both extremely curious about what happens to the characters. Hazel has written the author, Peter Van Houten, fan mail about what happens to the charachters several times, but he never responded. Augustus manages to get ahold of Houten's email, which he gives to Hazel. Hazel then emails Houten the questions she has about the characters. Houten replies he can not tell her by email because Hazel could copy it and make a sequel. The only way Hazel can find out if she meets Peter in person. The problem is, Peter Van Houten lives in Amsterdam, and Hazel's parents don't have the money to travel and Hazel has already used her one and only Wish.<br/>  Green then writes out a serious plot twist. Augustus has not used his Wish yet and is also eager to know what happens to the characters from An Imperial Affliction. Augustus then volunteers to use his Wish to take Hazel and her mother to Amsterdam. The two travel to Amsterdam where they go out on a romantic date, go to the Anne Frank House, visit Peter Van Houten, and kiss for the first time and become a beautiful couple.<br/>  The rest of the book I will leave for you to read. This book is inspiring, beautifully written, fascinating, and keeps you on the edge of your seat.<br/>  And the ages? I would recomend for  mature 11-13-year-olds for a brief sex scene, which is not at all graphic, language, and underage drinking.<br/>  This book is beautifully written. You get so attached to the characters that you love them. I could read this book over and over again and never get tired of it. You will laugh, you will cry, you will smile, and you will frown. John Green writes one of the greatest romance books for teens in the 21st century. I would give this book a billion stars if I could. There truly is no fault in The Fault In Our Stars.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1EFNCLCMV6ACC?ASIN=014242417X	I am torn...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Between my inner critic so desperately wishing to unleash itself on the many flaws of this book and my inner sensitivity that wants to hug a pillow and cry. I must admit, there were many times during my reading of this book that I wanted to delete it from my kindle and begin something more worthy of my time. Despite my incessant urges and blatant agitation with the author, though, I somehow managed to complete it.<br/><br/>First of all, let me repeat what everyone has already said: the characters are severely underdeveloped and lack any sort of individuality to distinguish them from one other. Hazel and Gus in particular seemed to speak...similarly (and my word choice there is being generous), their dialogue always excruciatingly pretentious and beyond the realm of teenage thought. Not to mention Green's obvious misunderstanding of teenage girls, especially their jargon. Mr. Green seems to believe it is acceptable to voice his own honor society brain--usually attempts at literary criticism-- add a well-placed ""like"" or ""and stuff"" or ""whatever"", and like think it's appropriate or whatever to say a teenage girl like thought it up and stuff.<br/><br/>That being said, it is excruciatingly difficult to bash a book written about cancer patients, especially since my best friend died of brain cancer. And parts of this story reminded me of her, minus all the silver lining and teenage babbling. So with her in mind I turned off my criticism and tried to overlook the stuff that royally pissed me off so that I could think of a nice comment to make about this book. Here's what I came up with: a reader could read this in one of two ways, 1) focus on the cancer aspect and become as annoyed as I was at how unrealistic it all was or 2) overlook everything to arrive at the conclusion that this is a somewhat distracted and abstract romance novel. To look at it from a romantic's point of view, it is very sweet, touching, and refreshing. To read it expecting a cancer story will direct you to a very displeasing and depressing read. That may not seem ""nice"" in its bitter honesty but it's all I've got.<br/><br/>So my advice is to refrain from reading this book unless you can make the intended main focus a secondary one.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RSGEXV6OB8RCI?ASIN=014242417X	Great story regardless, but almost a lifeline for those living with chronic disease/pain	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Love this book. The book contains so many ""aha moments"" for a person who lives with a chronic disease (in my case almost daily migraines, with no hope of a cure, or even effective treatment), so many moments of direct moments where you feel ""connected"" to the main characters and moments that just give you hope, that I can't say the book was no more than simple enjoyment. It was an ""experience."" Yes, I want to gag reading that myself, it sounds so corny, but I'm not sure of a better way of explaining the book for me. It's also extremely hard to know where to start such a review.<br/><br/>I guess I can say that the book first really touched me when Hazel, the main character in the book, suffering from terminal cancer, describes herself as a grenade. Meaning, as she herself says in the book, ""I wanted to not be a grenade, to not be a malevolent force in the lives of people I loved."" Hazel feels that her life (one of unending physical pain for her, emotional pain for her loved ones, since the whole time knowing her they know they will experience untold pain when she dies) damages those who are closest to her. As someone with a chronic disease, I know this feeling all too well, and before reading those words could not have explained that feeling of the positives of your life being outweighed by the negative consequences for those around you. First, let me say that being chronic, in medical terms, means that you suffer from a disease whereby it's effects dominate, at a minimum, 15+ days every months.  I had always thought of this fact as simply a medical number, needed for diagnosis realities. But today I realized that it means more than a number. It means that you suffer, overwhelmingly, from the disease and it's side effects (for chronic migraine sufferers, that means unrelenting physical pain and overwhelming nausea) more days in the month than otherwise. Meaning you spend *more than half of your waking days* in pain and suffering rather than the lack thereof. Meaning, at it's core, you have more bad days than good days in your life. You spend more time in pain than you spend with even the possibility of a good day (a day day being defined more by lack of pain, than by the ability to actually have good, enjoyable life experiences). So, needless, to say, you spend a lot of time inside your own head. Because you are extremely limited in your ability to be out and about and physical and enjoying life. So, yes, you spend a lot of time, a ridiculous amount of time, considering the value (or lack thereof) of your life, especially to those around you. You weigh, on a daily basis, whether you are more of a blessing or a burden to those you love.<br/><br/>In the book, Hazel is able to focus on the fact that, as a child, a teenager for whom her parents are still responsible, her value to her parents is untold (of course, this brings with it its own responsibility and weight). For me, as an adult, I am more privy to life's responsibilities outside of those that relate to human relationships. For example, medical bills. If you are living with a chronic disease, you are a constant drain on the financial resources of those around you (rather than contributing). Your doctor appointments cost a fortune. Your medications cost a fortune. You are constantly in need of the help of others, draining their time and energy. You receive a bill, say, for $329.00 for the latest doctor appointment, and ask yourself if receiving the medical ramifications of that appointment (more often than not simply a renewal of your pain medications, which keep you on *just* this side of the edge of suicide) is more important than the negative financial effect on your family (i.e. odds are likely they cannot afford this doctor appointment, forget the next one 2-3 months later, and the next and the unending future doctor appointments stretching out before you). So day after day, week after week and year after year, your weigh the value of your life... you ARE a grenade. The question is: is the pain inflicted on those around you while you are alive (i.e. physical, psychological, financial) heavier than the pain you would inflict on them when you die?<br/><br/>What this book does for readers like me is to try and REFRAME the question constantly cycling in our heads.  Instead, the question needs to become:  does the good you contribute to the lives around you have value in and of itself, separate from the fact that, as a grenade, you will, inevitably, cause them pain both while you are alive, and after you are dead. Because for those with a chronic disease, there is never any doubt that your disease will kill you. In this book, it is cancer that will kill Hazel. For someone like me, with constant migraines, it is likely mental health related (i.e. suicide out of overwhelming depression that life is a constant cycle of pain, rather than a constant building up of memories, most of them good and enriching and enjoyable), or a stroke or heart attack (likely to happen much earlier in life due to the damage caused to your body from constant brain damage and stress).<br/><br/>The next, therefore, big ""aha moment"" of truth in the book is when Hazel talks to her father about the meaning of life, and he says that it relates to the universe wanting to be recognized or acknowledged. Meaning that we go on day after day not so much because of God and the possibility of an afterlife and what have you, but simply because there is *something* inside of us that demands recognition in this world. Hazel, while attending a cancer survivor support group, mentions to the leader that she wants to die (due to the unrelenting physical pain). And the leader responds by saying, ""Yes, of course. So why don't you?"" And, yes, the automatic response is that you don't kill yourself because of the pain such a death/suicide would have on your loved ones. But, upon more, deeper, thought... you realize it is MORE than this desire to protect your loved ones from pain. (noted by Hazel in this scene in the book) Most of us can't describe that feeling of ""why don't you die?"" We simply know that *something* keeps us around, and yes, maybe it is the universe's demand that IT be recognized, appreciated and valued. In the book, Hazel's boyfriend, Augustus, says that those people who *notice* the universe are those who perhaps best understand this... meaning the artists (musicians, physical artists, and even scientists in their own way), the ones who celebrate life and the universe. It's not those who try and leave the biggest footprint on the world, whether by doing great acts or being heroes or doing amazing things. Therefore, even if you, yes, live a life dominated by disease, which leaves you incapable of doing big, heroic acts, and instead focus on the small world around you, you can live according the universe's demand that it be recognized.<br/><br/>And yes, as to the question of being a grenade, and causing hurt and pain to those around you, in whatever form... as Augustus says so beautifully at the end of the book, ""You don't get to choose if you get hurt in this world, old man, but you do have some say in who hurts you."" Meaning that those who love you and have relationships with you, yes, you WILL hurt them, but, out of love, they have made the choice to be hurt by you, because their relationship with you has enough value (in the aforementioned scale of good versus negative value) that they'll take the pain in exchange for the good.<br/><br/>With all of this (way too personal information) said, the book is a beautiful story about a boy and a girl. Two characters who, if you are a ""thinker,"" will feel like your soul mates, or people who would ""get"" you. They are both brilliant and hilarious (laugh out loud funny!), and it's a huge joy, and a privilege, to share your time with them. And yes, the book will cause you heartache and tears, but your time with these characters is, by your own choice, worth the hurt for the joy untold (too many to count or measure, as the dictionary defines) in the experience. HIGH RECOMMEND.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1WWIUN9SGCQD?ASIN=014242417X	An Eloquent and Amazing Tale	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Since it was released, my friends have been telling me to read this book. About how fantastic it is. How beautiful, wonderful, and amazing it is. Let me tell you, they weren't wrong. I read this book back in December, but haven't written a review up to this point because ALL THE FEELS! I was spoiled before I read the book, which resulted in a steady stream of tears the entire time I was reading it. I picked it up when I saw my local indie had a signed copy, and after a couple days/weeks, I started reading it. I swear, I flew through that thing in a few hours straight, it was SO good!<br/><br/>For the 1% of you that haven't read TFIOS, the main character is Hazel Grace Lancaster. She is a cancer patient. Her disease has been nothing but a death sentence since the day she was diagnosed. Fun, right? :) BUT, Hazel is one-of-a-kind. She faces this disease head-on, with humor, love, and a smile. She always has something to say, and she thinks some fairly deep thoughts. I really liked Hazel as a protagonist, and loved reading her story.<br/><br/>The male protagonist was Augustus Waters. That perfect boy that every girl dreams of? Yeah, that's him. Augustus is witty, thoughtful, and often, outright hilarious. He's also a cancer patient, but has been in remission for many months. Augustus has learned that, when faced with your own mortality, all you can do is live each day to its fullest. Augustus wants to leave his mark on the world, and that's something that I admire.<br/><br/>I cried and cried and cried and cried while reading this book. As in, there was a non-stop river of tears running down my cheeks. The book lived up to every expectation I've been given and then some. Also, it's very quotable, as one of my friends has proved by quoting it at us 24/7. Some of the best quotes are definitely ""That's the thing about pain, it demands to be felt."" and ""Some infinities are bigger than other infinities."" Just think about it, there's an infinity between one and two, but there's a bigger infinity between one and three. It kinda makes my brain hurt. Also, whenever someone says ""Okay. Okay."" I get very near tears. There is no doubt in my mind that I loved this book, and I give it a full five stars!</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R11IH2HKYNR1TL?ASIN=014242417X	The Feeling is hard to describe?	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I am not a fan of reading a book just because it is going to become a movie. In fact, I was adamant that I was not going to read this book because I had already seen the trailer and being the person that I am I had already guessed what was going to happen in the end. But everyone is entitled to be wrong once in a while and though I did guess the right ending I did not guess how I would subsequently feel at the end of this book.<br/>First let me start of with why I  ended up reading this book I was so adamant about not reading. Well my roommate decided to spontaneously or not so spontaneously buy it. Unlike me when she sees a preview for a book that has gone mainstream and is being made into a movie she just has to read the book before seeing the movie. I on the other hand could care less. But ironically enough it was while waiting for  a video to buffer that I picked up her copy of The Fault in Our Stars and began to read. Once I started I stopped only once and it was because you can't consciously move out of your dorm and drive four hours while simultaneously reading a book. Or at least I can't.<br/>This book was about more than true love, it was about more than crying about the unfairness of life, it was about more than a young person's battle with the horribly ever-present cancer. This is about...well quite frankly I do not know what it is about. And I refuse to try to express what it is about or to philosophically relate it to real life. Most of the time I never read the author's note but this time I did and on thing Mr. Green said was that the story was fiction and in no way shape or form should we take it to be based on a true story or even remotely real. But yet when I finished the book I was convinced that it had to be based of someone's real life story because I was crying my eyes out over a book filled with figments of Mr.Green's imagination which was crazy and ultimately I wanted to cry over a real person.<br/>So I then read his acknowledgements where he mentions Ester Earl and well I started to relate her to the book and realized that I was doing exactly what he didn't want me to do. But I couldn't help it but Ester Earl is not Hazel Grace, Earl is real while Hazel and Augustus are no matter how much I might have sadly and happily wanted them to be. I should be relieved that this story is fiction which I am but at the same time I'm not.<br/>I doubt this review will ever help anyone but this book is a rare find. Most book are a fantasy of life but this book is life. Not because it is sad and has cancer and death. But because it made me come to the horrible realization that everything just is. I,too fear oblivion like Augustus, I don't have cancer but I am dying and isn't that the crux of it all. We are all dying and unfortunately we can't prevent who gets taken up in the worldwide of our prolonged death so aptly called life. This book encompasses all that and more so well if your up for it, read it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1MT54AIWD21NF?ASIN=014242417X	All the hype is right!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Hazel, a terminally ill teenager, meets Augustus Waters at a Cancer Support Group. And nothing is the same again.<br/><br/>I was about a quarter way through when I realized two things- 1) I might have also fallen in love with Augustus Waters. 2) I had a strong feeling that I should probably go to bed because I wanted to read uninterrupted and I had a sneaking suspicion about what was going to happen and wanted to be alone when it did. This could, sadly, be due to the fact that a well meaning, but utterly clueless adult spoiled the ending for me early last year. While I reassured him that I totally knew the ending already (I didn’t and had kept clear of any spoilers til that faithful day), and that he should be a little more careful when describing the book to people (he said he would be), I was deeply saddened that I knew the ending and that now the story might not resonate with me as much. Perhaps that is why it took me so long to read it. I have owned the book since January 2012.<br/><br/>In any event, I shouldn’t have worried. Knowing the ending didn’t detract at all.<br/><br/>I won’t say anything different than what others have said before me, so I will summarize.<br/><br/>Hazel’s wonderful. She’s a free thinking, dark individual whose honest and raw narration is heartbreaking and inspiring.<br/>Augustus is marvelous. He is awkward teenage, lyrical prose romance on paper. He is optimistic and a force.<br/><br/>The story is powerful, emotional and well written. This is by far my favorite Green book. His writing is perfection here, able to describe and summarize the essence of teenagers, love and mortality without being preachy. He doesn’t look down on his readers or characters; he instills a sense of realism, allowing the readers to transport themselves back in time when they were teenagers and feeling everything so acute, so rare, for the first time. And then he cuts your heart.<br/><br/>Well done, Mr. Green.<br/><br/>Thankfully I went to bed. I don’t know how I would have faced the world otherwise.<br/><br/>Rating 10 One of The Best</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1UPQ3KZV18686?ASIN=014242417X	Spectacular writing, very pleasing read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The shear amount of attention of 5 star reviews that this book got was what made me want to pick it up. I went into it knowing nothing of the book, the author or the plot, in any way. What I discovered was a new favorite author. The writing is just phenomenal. I found myself laughing while reading and pausing to think about what I had just read. John Green is a very talented author. The characters in this book are wonderful as well. Very likable and relatable in some ways. I do agree with other people who say that the characters in this book are a bit unrealistic, for their age. I understand why John Green chose to make them teenagers, but if the characters were a bit old, the dialogue that they have would make more sense (those, it is important to note, that if the characters were older, a lot of other aspects of the book would be greatly altered as well, likely making this book greatly less amazing).<br/><br/>I loved Hazel Grace, the main character, and Augustus Waters, the other main character. They are a great duo and are kind of made for each other. Their dialogue, while unrealistic in my opinion (as explained above) was so clever and so funny and just adorable and perfect. The type of humor in this book is great as well. I really love how John Green pays close attention to the small details relating to the characters and how they think. Its just wonderful. I was not as moved by the story as others were, though the story is incredibly moving. I thought that the book ended beautifully, though for some undefinable reason I feel a little let down. I am not sure why though (maybe I just didn't want the book to end?).<br/><br/>All in all, this book is a definite must read. The hype around it is for good reason. The writing is just out of this world and the story itself is very beautiful. I am happy that picked up this book to see what all the fuss was about. The only reason I am rating it 4 out 5 stars is because of the unrealistic elements in the book that turned me off just a tiny bit. Its still an amazing book that everyone should read though!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2TN0R5VGBPUXA?ASIN=014242417X	The character development in this book was excellent.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The character development in this book was excellent. John Green does a great job of translating character to persons dealing with cancer--be it first hand or being the loved one of someone with cancer.  The emotional responses vary with all the different stimuli, age range, etc.<br/><br/>Honestly, everyone pitched this book to me as ""super sad, but great"" book. Although it was sad (I mean it's about cancer kids, of course it's sad), I was more interested in how they were dealing with everything than considering the morose side of the book. I think the fact that I knew from the beginning that Hazel has cancer and is dealing with it made me more numb to the cancer side effects that occurred. I felt like the author did a great job keeping it realistic and interspersing common adolescent problems with the undertones of cancer.<br/><br/>The book besides being about the love story between Hazel Grace and Augustus, was also mainly about the search for the end of Hazel's favorite book. A ""Cancer Book"" as Hazel calls it, the book ends without a proper wrap up (in the middle of a sentence) where the reader is to understand that the main character became too sick to write anymore. [spoiler]<br/>******<br/>******<br/>******<br/>******<br/>******<br/>******<br/>******<br/>******<br/>******<br/>About a third of the way through the book, I had a sneaking suspicion that John Green would do the same thing to his readers. Although it wasn't exactly the same as the fictitious book, I still hoped for a little more out of the ending. I actually was expecting Hazel to die at the end of the book, so the twist that it was actually Augustus that succumbs to cancer was a knife in the chest, but I think it was a really good literary decision. I just wish the author would have told us what ultimately happened to Hazel.  I would have liked a nice epilogue, maybe from Hazel's mother's point of view (as a counselor?), talking about when Hazel died and showing that her and her husband were able to survive effectively.[spoiler]</span>"

Probably not much.<br/><br/>We are introduced to Hazel who is a teenager who has cancer. She’s on a drug that keeps the tumors down but you never know when it could come back. She struggles everyday. She has to carry an oxygen tank with her everywhere she goes. Her life is not fun.<br/><br/>Her mom suggests she attend a weekly support group. She doesn’t want too but wants to make her parents happy. She meets a boy named Augustus. He also has cancer as well. He lost a leg to it.<br/><br/>Hazel and Augustus were so perfect for one another. They got each other. They had things in common, they fell in love.<br/><br/>There was just something so unique about this one. This novel was so beautiful. It really was. It was so complex and there was just so much to it, I can’t even begin to describe it. Its one of those you have to read yourself and enjoy every minute even though its not all happy moments.<br/><br/>I also loved all the side characters, especially Isaac. He was the perfect friend for both Augustus and Hazel.<br/><br/>It did take me a few days to get through this one. It was hard to read at times. I wanted to finish it, but I was afraid of what was going to happen.<br/><br/>I laughed, I cried, I cried even harder. It was outstanding. It was beautiful.<br/><br/>Enough said, right? Read this one!<br/><br/>Overall:I really enjoyed this one,even though it wasn’t perfect at times, and things weren’t always happy. It was realistic and beautiful.

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R307Z0JSK7I9KG?ASIN=014242417X	3.5 stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I couldn't decide if I should give it 3 or 4 stars, so I really wish there was a 3.5 rating.<br/><br/>This was an interesting read to me (and hard to review) because I was hooked and read the entire thing in one evening, but there were definitely parts that bothered me.  First, the things that bothered me:<br/><br/>***SPOILER ALERT****<br/><br/>1.  Ugh... the pretentiousness of the main characters.  Not just Gus (as the author states was on purpose), but also Hazel.  Green touts himself as ""understanding teens"" but, in my experience, teens don't talk like that, using fancy words and being all metaphysical/philosophical.  Maybe they want to think they do so they enjoy having Green write his characters that way?  From my almost 40-year-old perspective, I found it unbelievable and hard to relate to the teens because they didn't seem realistic.<br/><br/>2.  I didn't think about this while reading, but after going through some of the other reviews, I have to concur.  The flippant way the characters deal with a terminal illness does not seem realistic and can be painful for those who are actually in that situation to read.  I know that Green said this is a cancer book that's not about cancer so I'm sure he didn't want it to be bogged down in the realistic thoughts of someone with cancer. I get that, but do feel for people who are truly in this situation.<br/><br/>3.  I didn't like Hazel.  Besides being pretentious, I also found her to have an unrealistic sense of self-importance, which is probably weird because I feel like Green was trying to set the stage that she was completely unselfish and always putting others ahead of herself.  The things that I didn't like were her concern that her parents life would be over once she died, when she yelled at Gus during their fancy dinner because she felt something he said was directed at her when it clearly wasn't, and her concern over being a grenade.  It's like she assumed everyone loved her so much that they'd be completely broken when she died.  I suppose this was done on purpose to balance out Gus's view that he had to do something miraculous to be remembered, but it just made me not like her.  I think she could have been more middle of the road and the point would still have been clear.<br/><br/>Things I liked:<br/><br/>1.  Green is clearly a gifted writer and has an amazing way with imagery.<br/>2.  I love a good tragic love story and this fit the bill perfectly.  That's the reason I couldn't stop reading, despite not really liking the characters.<br/>3.  Green knows how to draw out the tears.<br/><br/>Overall, I would recommend this to others.  I will try another book by Green to see if the pretentiousness was just in this book or if that's his way of writing.  If it's his way, then I'll probably pass on reading more.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R30PB5DZKJJRGX?ASIN=014242417X	"""A Very Moving, Powerful Story"""	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is a very moving story of terminal illness strength, self assessment, compassion, love, and loss.  Hazel Grace Lancaster, 16 years old, has been a stage-four cancer patient for three years having first thyroid cancer which has now spread to her lungs.  She is a sole child who meets once a week at a support group for young people between the ages of 12 to 18.  There are currently about 6 to 10 youngsters.  Hazel is bored and tired of attending the group but her mom feels it's a sign of depression and encourages her to attend to hopefully find friendship. So Hazel takes her oxygen cart in tow and attends the next meeting where she sits next to Isaac, who is 17 years old, has eye cancer, and is going to be blind.  Michael is 12 years old with leukemia; Lida is 16 yrs old in remission from appendiceal cancer, and a new handsome boy, Augustus Waters, 17 years old, previously having osteosarcoma, but he's at the meeting only as a friend in support of Isaac. Augustus is drawn to Hazel, inviting her to watch the movie, ""V For Vendetta"" as he compares Hazel to the actress, Natalie Portman.  Gus, as his father calls him, introduces Hazel to his folks, and they enjoy the evening watching the movie. Soon, Isaac is scheduled for his final eye surgery which will make him totally blind.  He's more upset with the loss of his girlfriend, who can't bear his loss, so Gus and Hazel are there to support him.  These kids are searching for answers; i.e., what is normal, they are not; what worth is life, they worry about how long; how can they appreciate each day until the end...this is something for all to strive for.  It's hard, Hazel needs more answers from the author of her most favorite book, ""An Imperial Affliction.""  She sends him an email and his response is he will only answer her complex questions in Amsterdam, at his home.  Now, Hazel has to find a way to make this happen.  Regardless of the seriousness of having cancer, this is a warm and cozy story of love, caring, and support.  I believe this story was placed on my Kindle Fire to read for the special messages it holds for me.  Hats off to John Green, an awesome philosopher!  All families can benefit from reading this story.</span>"

But, everyone told me you MUST read this book so I finally did and I am so glad to have experienced the lives of Hazel and Augustus. Hazel compares her life to a grenade in this book; ready to explode and hurt those around her, I felt this book met the same metaphor... I was ready for it to break me.<br/><br/>John Green was able to make me smile, make me cry, and make me fall in love with these characters. He made me think about life in a whole new way all in the eyes of teenagers struggling with their lives.<br/><br/>  ""My thoughts are stars I cannot fathom into constellations.""<br/><br/>You go into this book knowing something is going to happen, you just may not know what that is. I keep myself from all spoilers because I wanted to go into this book blind and I am so glad that I did.<br/><br/>Hazel is trying to live after cancer has destroyed her body. You struggle with her thoughts on living, dying, and what life would look like if she's not there.<br/>Augustus is also healing from cancer that took his leg and left him with a life so different from what he was before he was sick. These two meet at a cancer support group and together we are blessed with a story of love, encouragement, understanding and heroes.<br/><br/>While this story will make you cry, there are also many points where it will make you smile and even laugh.<br/><br/>  “It's just that most really good-looking people are stupid, so I exceed expectations.'<br/>  'Right, it's primarily his hotness,' I said.<br/>  'It can be sort of blinding,' he said.<br/>  'It actually did blind our friend Isaac,' I said.<br/>  'Terrible tragedy, that.

You don't want to see me naked, Dave. Seeing me naked actually took  Hazel Grace's breath away,' he said, nodding toward the oxygen tank.”<br/><br/>Even though it took me so long to get the courage to read this book, I am so glad I did.

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R39LE2J8HS1D4F?ASIN=014242417X	Spoiler Alert!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I feel like I'm saying this all the time now, but I'll say it again - generally, this is not the ""type"" of novel I would pick up and read.  That's because I consciously avoid books that seemingly will turn out to be ""tearjerkers.""  Now, I'm sure I have ignited a wellspring of emotions in many of you who are probably on the edge of your seats preparing to pounce on me for oversimplifying and totally misunderstanding Green's work.  Well, let me stop you there - that's not what this is.<br/><br/>It's funny because I only read this book because I had stumbled upon and thoroughly enjoyed This Star Won't Go Out:  The Life and Words of Esther Grace Earl, which for all it was it really was not a book about cancer.  I fell in  love with her character, though, and so knowing that John Green dedicated this book to her, I decided to give it ago, despite myself.<br/><br/>I'm so glad I gave The Fault In Our Stars a chance.  I loved it - the structure of it, the character development, including the development of life's and cancer's impact on familial relationships.  I loved that the novel was decidely not a ""cancer"" book.  It was a book about love and life, real and raw.  It was a book about ""infinities within numbers"" and, to paraphrase something Van Houten's character says in the book, how grief reveals who we really are. I thought Green was most skillful and contrasting the realities of the living and the dying - in Hazel's eulogy for Gus v. the eulogy she gave at his funeral, the way Gus was treated by his sisters v. how he was treated in the end by Hazel and Isaac, how Hazel's mom thought she'd react to her mom's preparation for a career in social work v. Hazel's actual reaction.<br/><br/>And, boy did I love Amsterdam and Lidewij.<br/><br/>Love and Awesomeness - thank you Esther Earl for inspiring this, and thank you John Green for writing it!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3MAG2NTRFCLWH?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in Our Stars Review	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Short and Sweet? I believe that this is one of those books that everyone should read. I know that a lot of adults are completely against reading things that fall into the ""young adult"" category, but I think that everyone should make an exception when it comes to this book. John Green does a beautiful job of writing a realistic story you fall in love with, even though the synopsis alone leads you to believe you're being set up for heartbreak. The raw emotional draws you in, making you sympathize for every single character as they struggle through their individual battles.<br/><br/>Characters:<br/>Hazel Grace: From the very beginning, Hazel becomes a character who makes you laugh and cheer for her. Her realistic, and sometimes pessimistic attitude is what makes her so intriguing. It is obvious that she has been through a lot, and it has aged her far more than she should have had to. Still, she has not given up on life, even if she spends most of the beginning of the book wanting to stay in doors and read (there is nothing wrong with that, right?). We get to see many different emotions from Hazel as we read through the book, and it is incredible to see how her relationship with Augustus changes her so drastically. I suppose that love can do that to you.<br/><br/>Augustus Waters: While Hazel is a wonderful character, it is Gus that I truly fell in love with. How could you not? Despite the loss of a leg due to his past cancer, he grabs life by the horns and wants to make the very best out of life. It is interesting to find how he was attracted to Hazel in the first place the first time they meet, and how their story continues to unfold from there. I believe Augustus portrays the ""average"" teenage boy versus the perfect one that authors often try to contort into their writings. He lies, he messes up, he has to apologize. That is what makes him so loveable. His willingness to do anything to make Hazel smile just makes him that much greater.<br/><br/>The book is sad, that is a given, though I will not give any spoilers for those of you who have not read it (that can be the worst thing to happen when you so badly want to read a book, after all). I think that it is important to push past that fear of sadness in order to understand the true purpose of the novel. Here are two teenagers with their enemy being simply time and the hands that life have dealt them, and they do their very best to keep their chins up and make the best of their lives. This is an inspiring story for everyone, and might perhaps teach us that things could always be worse.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1YNZ7A0U3V0WL?ASIN=014242417X	Brautiful heartfelt story that was an epic journey of love, loss, and humor!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Review courtesy of Dark Faerie Tales<br/><br/>Quick &amp; Dirty: Beautiful heartfelt story that was an epic journey of love, loss, and humor. This has quickly become one of my all time favorite contemporary reads.<br/><br/>Opening Sentence: Late in the winter of my seventeenth year, my mother decided I was depressed, presumably because I rarely left the house, spent quite a lot of time in bed, read the same book over and over, ate infrequently, and devoted quite a bit of my abundant free time thinking about death.<br/><br/>The Review:<br/><br/>Hazel Grace Lancaster was diagnosed with cancer when she was 13 years old. It was terminal from the beginning and she knew that she was a ticking time bomb. But when it looked like the end was near she was given a miracle drug that surprisingly shrank her tumors and stopped them from growing. She is 17 years old and living with cancer. She isn’t healed, but at the moment there is no threat of her dying. Her parents want her to live a somewhat normal life so they make her go to a cancer support group where she meets the gorgeous Augustus Waters.<br/><br/>Augustus Waters was diagnosed with osteosarcoma, which is a form of bone cancer. He had to have his leg amputated, but he has been cancer free for the last 18 months. He went to the cancer support group to help a friend and when he sees Hazel for the first time he can’t seem to keep his eyes off her. Hazel and Augustus quickly become friends. They bond over books, cancer, and this is their epic love story!!!<br/><br/>Hazel hasn’t been living life since she found out she was going to die. Yes, she is still alive but she just mostly goes through the motions. It’s not that she’s not grateful; it’s just that she doesn’t really see the point until she meets Augustus. I completely adored Hazel, she has a wonderful dry sense of humor and is very smart. I also love that she loves to read, we have that in common!!! Even though she doesn’t have the brightest future ahead of her, she never seems to be negative about it. Instead, she has excepted her life and is trying to be as positive as she can. She was a wonderful character and I enjoyed every minute of her amazing story.<br/><br/>Augustus was so easy to fall in love with. He is determined to really live his life since he got a second chance and once he meets Hazel he knows that she is going to be a part of it. He has this adorable way of being persistent and making Hazel see that life is so much more than her cancer. He is funny, smart, good looking, and just an all around great guy. I really admired him and thought that he is a very swoon worthy boy!<br/><br/>This was just a fantastic book that everyone should pick up. Going into this book, I was expecting a really heart wrenching story about a girl struggling with cancer, but what I got was a beautiful story about a girl that gets to experience life for the first time. Yes, Hazel has cancer and until she meets Augustus she has pretty much let it consume her life. But he is able to open her eyes and show her that life really is worth living. It was full of humor and plenty of adorable romantic moments. The cynical banter between Hazel and Gus was so fun and I found myself laughing way more than crying in this book. That’s not to say that I didn’t cry because I did, but Green did such a phenomenal job making you feel an abundance of different emotions throughout the book. I really enjoyed all the literary references that Green used, it made it easier for me to connect with the characters on a deeper level, because I also have a great love of reading. Yes, this book has two characters that have suffered from cancer, but that is in no way what this story is about. It’s about falling in love and living your life to the fullest because you never know when your last day is going to come. The story was full of hope, heartache, love, humor and honesty, I fell completely in love with everything about this book. For anyone that hasn’t read this book you really should, it has become one of my all-time favorite YA contemporary books.<br/><br/>Notable Scene:<br/><br/>“I’m in love with you,” he said quietly.<br/><br/>“Augustus,” I said.<br/><br/>“I am,” he said. He was staring at me, and I could see the corners of his eyes crinkling. “I’m in love with you, and I’m not in the business of denying myself the simple pleasure of saying true things. I’m in love with you, and I know that love is just a shout into the void, and that oblivion is inevitable, and that we’re all doomed and that there will come a day when all our labor has been returned to dust, and I know the sub will swallow the only earth we’ll ever have, and I am in love with you.”<br/><br/>FTC Advisory: Dutton/Penguin provided me with a copy of The Fault in Our Stars. No goody bags, sponsorships, “material connections,” or bribes were exchanged for my review.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3OYJ6EMHMQRLS?ASIN=014242417X	I absolutely LOVED this book!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I don't know what it was about this book, but something kept saying, ""Read me! Read Me!"" In the New York Times article I write every Sunday (posted by noon or earlier), this book was on it a few weeks in a row. it enticed me! After a while, I 'had' to buy it and read it! So I did, and I am so glad I did! This is one book I will never forget.<br/>First, please consider this - as the description states, I want to warn you this book is about teenagers who are dying of cancer, or had cancer, are receiving treatment for it, or who are recovering from it. If you think you are going to read a book with a 'happily ever after' ending to it, then stop and don't read this book. Hazel says, ""But in fact, depression is not a side effect of cancer. Depression is a side effect of dying. (Cancer is a also a side effect of dying. Almost everything is, really.) Hazel has that right. We all ARE going to die one day, we just don't know how or when.<br/>There is a lot of great story in this book, so if you are able to read this, (and myself with losing three people this year, I had no problem reading this, but the people I lost were much older.) I surely would not miss this book! I think everyone would enjoy reading this book because the story is SO GOOD! I ended up LOVING this book. (Sounds kind of morbid to love a book where teenagers are dying, huh? But I did because of what happened throughout the book.) I LOVED this book!<br/>I think the close friendship these teens formed together was very appealing, especially Hazel and Augustus's. They were always there for each other, as the saying goes, through thick and thin. They could also relate to how the other felt. They knew what the others were going through, too, when it came to their cancers' in their lives, too.<br/>In the beginning, these teenagers (there are other characters you feel for, too) all become friends as their parents push them to go to a cancer support group because they are all having great difficulty with depression due to the side effect of cancer (which is where that quote comes in). I would have to agree with that, as I think I would have some depression from the cancer at any age, especially this age, the teenage years. These kids are literally staring at a death sentence, when they both should have their entire lives laid out in front of them.<br/>Augustus and Hazel both love this one series of books, especially the last book, but the author is not writing anymore series for it. This book is IT. It's over. They are both pretty upset by this and start to contact this author because they have many unanswered questions about it. An entire story develops from this, which is one you'll LOVE! You'll even get to go to Amsterdam in North Holland where the author lives! That was amazing!<br/>This book really pulls at your emotions, strongly. I think I went through an entire BOX of tissue reading this book! I really mean that when I say that, too, but it was not for the people I've personally lost in the past in my life, it was for these characters in this book. They are quite the people!<br/>Do yourself a favor and read this one! The GOOD TIMES will stay with you forever!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RBOC3WYW6S8RJ?ASIN=014242417X	Love is undying	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This review appears on Happy Indulgence - check it out for more reviews at happyindulgencebooks.com<br/><br/>To my dear literary friends, there was never a doubt about it, but I understand why The Fault in Our Stars is a favourite novel of all time. It made me laugh with its dry humour, made me cry with its heart-breaking ending, fall in love with its young characters and most importantly, made me recognise the meaning of life in general.<br/><br/>When health is not an issue, it’s easy to watch the days pass by, doing things out of habit or because we are simply going through the motions. How often we have a dream, only to never pursue it. How often we leave loose ends hanging, ending the day after an argument, or never telling our nearest and dearest that we love them.<br/><br/>The Fault in Our Stars serves as a reminder that life is fleeting, and that death is a very real and major part of it, able to strike us at any time. The Fault In The Stars isn’t simply about cancer at its heart, it’s about two incredible young people who relish and enjoy life as it is, who just so happen to be affected by cancer.<br/><br/>Hazel and Gus, being cancer sufferers, know that they do not have long to live. They devote their time telling their parents everyday that they love them, doing what they want and importantly, following their lifelong dreams. For Hazel, this is getting in touch with her favourite author, Peter Van Houlton and finding out what happens at the end of her favourite novel. Augustus Waters, known fondly as Gus, helps her achieve this dream with everything in his power to do so.<br/><br/>The two love each other madly and unconditionally. Seeing them in their darkest moments was heart-wrenching and incredibly scary because its real. With unnerving strength of living with cancer, they help get through with having each other to lean on. I just loved how Hazel and Gus just chose to enjoy each others company and focus on their happiness, rather than creating unnecessary emotional drama that we see so often in novels these days….and in real life.<br/><br/>Rather, they have enough going on with their health that they’re not going to sweat the small stuff, and do what they have to do to survive. That’s why when their cancer survivor – now blind friend Isaac deals with his pain by trashing all the trophies in Gus’s room, they just let him do it and egg him on. These characters are suffering in a very real way that we could only dream of understanding, and John Green captures it within the pages beautifully.<br/><br/>Like so many others, I found Hazel and Gus to be very real, their strength, humour, and their charm to be riveting and touching. The story of meeting each other at a very fragile point in their lives and living and loving each other is heartbreaking and beautiful.<br/><br/>The Fault in Our Stars is not a novel about cancer. It’s about a mutual love of literature, young love at its brightest, family support, chasing after your dreams, letting others in and giving them your whole heart and self – about the greatest parts of life itself.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R39TA4WARI4OPT?ASIN=014242417X	Story that strikes right at the heart where it will remain long after you close its covers	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">“The Fault in Our Stars” written by John Green is a novel that will make you smile to tears and sadden you, a story that strikes right at the heart where it will remain long after you close its covers.<br/><br/>The novel main character, girl named Hazel is sixteen years old, suffers from a malignant tumor and very short life remains in front of her. And after a medical miracle happens Hazel will get the chance to live longer than anyone had hoped, a few years that will give her a chance to feel at least a little bit of teenage life.<br/><br/>Hazel will start going to meetings of Cancer Kid Support Group to meet kids who share the same problems and fears, in order to more easily accept the difficult and inevitable destiny before her.<br/><br/>There she will meet Augustus, guy a year older than her, who defeated a sinister disease, but lost his leg. And although Hazel did not want that to happen because she is afraid that due to this she will suffer even more, the two of them will gradually become closer, first as best friends, and then a step further.<br/><br/>Even though before her is battle that she has no chance of winning, Hazel will for the first time in her life feel immense happiness, will feel what it means to love sincerely, aware at all times that every day in front of her may be the last in which she will be with the one she loves more than anything…<br/><br/>“The Fault in Our Stars” is an emotional story told in a wonderful way that will touch everyone who will come to its last page; and although it may be objected in some moments it's a bit unrealistic in terms of thinking, speech and behavior of young people in those age, the overall impression of Green’s novel is that this is an smart, convincing and realistic work that everyone should read.<br/><br/>The end of the novel is very emotional and do not be surprised if you are like many readers worldwide wipe away the tears because no matter as much as we are taught that fairy tales do not happen in everyday life, Hazel and Augustus in a short time that they spent together wrote one.<br/><br/>John Green wrote a novel that once you’ll read it will become the standard by which to measure how much you’re touched by some novel, and it’s difficult to give a better recommendation.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RB9IODMXQMYRD?ASIN=014242417X	"""I can't be a regular teenager because I'm a grenade."""	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">My 14 year-old granddaughter recommended this book to me and at first I was a little leery of reading a young adult book.  However, within the first ten pages I was hooked - complete hook, line, and sinker.  I could think of nothing else but reading this book.  I am on a cruise now and none of the activities could keep my mind off this book - it is that good.<br/><br/>Hazel Grace is a teenager with metastasized thyroid cancer with metastasis in her lungs.  She must use an oxygen tank all day and a BiPAP machine all night.  Augustus Waters has Osteosarcoma and has just had a leg amputated.  They meet in a cancer support group and he falls for Hazel at first sight.  At first, Hazel keeps her distance from Gus, but it doesn't take her long to fall under his spell.  He is, after all, a hunk.<br/><br/>The both of them are enamored of a book called An Imperial Infliction written by one Peter Houten.  The book is about a teenager with cancer.  It ends with a cliff hanger and they really want to know what happens after the puzzling ending.  Augustus uses his one wish wish with the Genies Foundation to ask for a trip to Amsterdam where Mr. Houten resides.  Miraculously, he gets his wish.  Unfortunately, the meeting with Mr. Houten is less than ideal.  Fortunately, the trip serves to increase the love and intimacy between Gus and Hazel.<br/><br/>Grace and Gus are both very intelligent and philosophical people.  As Hazel says about Gus, ""To be with him was to hurt him - inevitably.""  His last girlfriend died from a brain tumor and Grace is fearful that she will die and leave Gus in spiritual pain.  Hazel is always breathless because of the mets in her lungs.  She is in constant pain as well.  If she doesn't use her oxygen, "" after about ten seconds, my lungs feel like they're folding in upon themselves like flowers at dusk.: She must have her lungs drained frequently.  ""The pain was always there, pulling me inside myself, demanding to be felt.""<br/><br/>Hazel feels outside the realm of ordinary people, the world of the well.  As she says, ""The physical evidence of disease separates you from other people.  We are irreconcilable other.""  Gus is not obviously ill on the outside but Hazel carries around her oxygen tank everywhere she goes.  Since her illness she'd never considered a normal lifespan.  ""I'd never been anything but terminal;  all my treatment had been in pursuit of extending my life, not curing my cancer.""  Gus has an 85% cure rate after his leg amputation but, like most survivors of cancer, lives in constant fear of a recurrence.  As Hazel says, ""My final chapter was written upon diagnosis. Gus, like most cancer survivors, lived with uncertainty.""  Hazel sees herself as a 'grenade'.  Once she explodes with her cancer, all those around her will be harmed.<br/><br/>One might think that a novel about two teenagers with cancer would be depressing.  This is not the case with this book.  Yes, it is powerful, has its sad and poignant moments, but it is uplifting and wonderfully life affirming.  It is an amazing book, one that is for everyone.  I am so glad that I read it.  I will remember it always.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1ML80ZTGL712B?ASIN=014242417X	Theological, Philosophical, Spiritual Read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">There's a moment in Shakespeare's Julius Caesar when the Roman nobleman, Cassius, says to another nobleman, Brutus, ""The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves, that we are underlings."" The context of Cassius' statement is that his and Brutus' unjust destinies are not the result of anything supernatural (something ""in the stars""), but of their own poor choices.<br/><br/>This is a statement that has held its place in culture, but author John Green's latest book seeks to dismantle this philosophy.<br/><br/>Green  himself, in response to a reader's question, writes, "". . . that's ridiculous. There is plenty of fault in our stars. Many people suffer needlessly not because they've done something wrong or because they're evil or whatever but because they get unlucky. I wanted to try to write a novel about how we navigate a world that isn't fair, and whether it's possible to have a full and meaningful life even if you don't get to play out your life on a grand stage the way Cassius and Brutus did"" (The Fault in Our Stars: Collector's Edition, 4).<br/><br/>The Fault in Our Stars is a book starring Hazel Grace Lancaster, a 16 year old cancer survivor whose physical life has been left in shambles from her battle. Her lungs, as Hazel herself describes, ""suck"" and she is subjected to toting oxygen around wherever she goes. To say that she lives an abnormal teenage life would be a grand understatement.<br/><br/>The novel takes off when Hazel attends a support group and meets another cancer survivor named Augustus Waters, a quick-witted, humorously-cynical 17 year old boy who quickly falls in love with her. The two embark on a philosophical journey together as they share their deepest emotions concerning the unjust landscape of their lives.<br/><br/>POSITIVE ELEMENTS<br/><br/>Augustus Waters is arguably one of the most lovable characters in modern day fiction. I recently told my wife that ""I wish he were real, because I would love to know him."" He is the rare personality that brightens up life because he sees it from a unique angle. Some of the more humorous portions of the novel exist when Augustus sacrifices his video game avatar to save nonexistent, pixelated innocents. In so doing, his character naturally dies and he himself loses the game. But this is how Augustus plays the game, because it's how Augustus plays life. He is obsessed with the concept of dying an honorable, meaningful death, and has a difficult time reconciling how that is possible when one dies of cancer.<br/><br/>It is Augustus that helps bring life to the dying protagonist, Hazel Grace. The friendship and relationship they foster is certainly a positive element to the story and although they both live on the diving board of death, together they are capable of standing firm on that slippery, flimsy board.<br/><br/>SPIRITUAL CONTENT<br/><br/>Much of The Fault in Our Stars is spiritual. A quick Google search will reveal that John Green considers himself a Christian, although he allegedly doesn't like boxing himself in with this title. The support group takes place in a church, God is often alluded to, and Bible verses even appear here and there, albeit out of context.<br/><br/>To say that the book paints an accurate picture of biblical Christianity, however, would be far-fetched. In fact, I would go as far as to say that God is often recreated and mocked. Augustus and Hazel would be what I consider nominal Christians. They seem to understand the basic concepts, like most Americans would, but they certainly don't live by godly standards. It is assumed that everyone goes to heaven and that those that die of cancer might even have a special place there, although, to be fair, the protagonists seem to deny this claim.<br/><br/>The novel's title, in and of itself, suggests that there is fault with God's sovereignty in creation, and that mankind isn't responsible, or at least as responsible, as Shakespeare's Cassius alleged. Spiritually speaking, this is simply not the case. The fault is not in God (""the stars""), but a result of the Fall of Genesis 3. This is arguably my largest contention with the novel. Green assumes that all people are good and that things like cancer are unfair additions to life. While I would agree that cancer, and other evils like it, are horrible and devastating occurrences, we cannot ignore that such things are the inevitable result of mankind's decision to disobey God. Thus, Cassius was right. The fault is in ourselves.<br/><br/>There are other claims about God in the novel, one being a fictional father in a fictional novel that the fictional author, Peter Van Houten, claims represents God (which isn't in good taste). But one of the more revealing aspects of Green's spiritual claims might be in an answer he gives to a reader in the Collector's Edition of his novel. Green writes that ""books belong to their readers,"" which, contextually speaking, was Green's way of saying that readers have the freedom to interpret elements of the story to their own desires. If this is a block of Green's foundation to his worldview, then it might explain how he interprets the Bible, which consequently affects much of what he believes it means to be a Christian, which affects his view of ""the stars.""<br/><br/>SEXUAL CONTENT<br/><br/>There is essentially one major sexual episode when Augustus and Hazel engage in premarital sex during their trip to Amsterdam. There are other episodes of various characters, including Augustus and Hazel, kissing.<br/><br/>VIOLENT CONTENT<br/><br/>The book is inherently violent insofar as it is about kids with cancer, and Green pulls no punches in relating the facts about what a kid might go through when dealing with such a disease. In preparing for this book, Green spent time serving as a chaplain at a hospital with terminally ill children and wanted to convey the painful reality of death, not the graceful death often painted in other novels.<br/><br/>CRUDE LANGUAGE<br/><br/>The novel includes various uses of ""s-t"" and ""d-m.""<br/><br/>DRUG AND ALCOHOL CONTENT<br/><br/>No drug content, but the characters, underage, do partake of champagne. To my recollection there are no scenes where the characters get drunk. Augustus often has a cigarette in his mouth, but he  never lights it. It is a metaphor that he is in control of his life and that this tool of death has no power over him.<br/><br/>OTHER NEGATIVE ELEMENTS<br/><br/>The most negative elements of this novel rest in the influence it will undoubtedly bring to its young readers. Because it is such an engaging read and because the characters are so lovable, I can see many students learning from much of the fictional elements involved, treating them as truth. There are false concepts of mathematics (specifically claims on the philosophical understanding of infinity) and medicine, as well as misguided claims of biblical Christianity. There are also logically fallible philosophical claims that have little, if any, warrant. Green opens the book in writing, ""This book is a work of fiction. I made it up,"" but this does little to clarify what is real and what is not real in its claims.<br/><br/>CONCLUSION<br/><br/>The Fault in Our Stars is a very enjoyable read. It's hard to put down and it can be read quickly. I would not personally recommend it to any person younger than 16, and even with that (given my Christian faith), I would be cautious. It makes a variety of philosophical claims about life and can serve as a tool for philosophical discussions concerning gratuitous evils, which are conversations parents should have with their children. But it is my conviction that these conversations should be rooted and cultivated by Scripture, not fiction. Although, fiction is a fun way to add to the conversation after a firm foundation has been built in God's Word.<br/><br/>I give the book 4 out of 5 stars.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1ZXKF39HVUDGD?ASIN=014242417X	Imaculate	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault In Our Stars by John Green. I would highly recommend this book to anyone around my age. This book was an immaculate read, from cover to cover. I was so impressed with John Green's genius plot thinking, motifs and the way he built each characters personality over the course of the book. The whole book was relatable through emotion. I gained this ability to feel almost the same way as the characters. It was almost as if I was looking though the main characters lenses. I found this deep relation between each character that made me think hard about my meaning to life. Hazel Grace Lancaster, the main character, is suffering from stage three thyroid cancer. She is not so much in it for the fight because of motivation, but simply because she has to be. She is surprisingly a laid back, low pressured character throughout the whole book, and doesn’t seem to dwell on that fact that she has cancer. Even though she does have cancer, the book seems to make readers focus on different events in the book. The cancer just seems to be, as Hazel puts it, “A side effect of dying.” The book contains many odd quotes that almost make you feel as if the author is playing with your brain. In a sense the book will be as good as readers want it to be. Through imagination, readers might think of profound explanations for each theme. Honestly, it was the opposite of cliché in that Hazel really told her story how it was. You live every day, but in the end your life just stops, without any warning, and mere expectance. When I finished this book, I kept on thinking about it. I had this emotional uprising in my heart that would constantly pound at me. I would ponder upon all the different things that had occurred. I dreaded the thought that any other book I picked up would ever meet the same feelings as this one. The reason why, struck me while I was writing this paper. I was feeling emotions identical to Hazel Grace! I was indeed the main character in this book. I know it sound like a stretch, but this is what John Green was trying to portray to his readers. That we are the main characters to every book because we are technically experiencing the events. We also are the ones who come up with conclusions and character identities. We basically write the book through our imagination, and become the main characters.  I thoroughly enjoyed it, and I highly recommend this book.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RDJFAS8J2CV7N?ASIN=014242417X	Wonderful!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I've had The Fault in Our Stars sitting on my shelf since its release day. Not because I didn't want to read it, with all of the buzz it was actually high on my to-read pile. Unfortunately, I just never got around to it until this week, and oh how I regret waiting so long to read this book.<br/><br/>What can I say about The Fault in Our Stars that hasn't already been said? This book took me on an emotional roller-coaster that I'm not entirely sure I'll ever recover from.<br/><br/>I started this book on Tuesday around 11PM, having just finished The Spectacular Now, and had real life not gotten in the way, I'm sure I would've finished TFiOS in one sitting. This book pulled me in, and all I wanted to do was to keep reading about Augustus and Hazel.<br/><br/>What I loved most about The Fault in Our Stars was how Green constructed both Hazel and Augustus. Here you have these two kids, suffering from a terrible, terrible disease, and yet, they don't allow their disease to become them. They still know how to smile, to laugh, to live - and honestly, they bring out the best in one another. It isn't a cancer story, it's a story about two teenagers that just so happen to have cancer. In fact, it actually kind of reminded me of 50/50 in that it managed to balance the humor with the pain, and it did so wonderfully.<br/><br/>I didn't understand why so many others had stated they bawled their eyes out while reading this until I came upon the scene at the gas station. That is the first time that we really get to see the vulnerable side of Augustus Waters, and it is absolutely heartbreaking. That scene - as well as the whole book, honestly - just felt so real. And the pain only grows from there on out.<br/><br/>As for the ending... I honestly was expecting it to end mid-sentence, like I was fearing something would happen to Hazel, that her story would play out like Anna's, and that in the middle of reading, everything would just end, but not really end. Thankfully, that wasn't the case. The ending was actually beautifully written, and though I still have many questions, I'm satisfied with how Green ended their story.<br/><br/>I'm not big into re-reading books, but this is one I can easily see myself re-reading time and time again.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RQ3OEYBDED3H7?ASIN=014242417X	Beautiful	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book consumed me. I've been hearing about it for months and I knew ever since I read the description that I must read this book. So I put it on my wish list and waited for the price to drop. The moment I did, I bought it and read it in one day.<br/><br/>It's going on my favorite books ever list. Not kidding. I have recommended this book to everyone I meet since I finished it. The story is beautiful and moving. The characters wormed their way deep into my heart. I felt every moment with them.<br/><br/>Some people have said the characters are pretentious and that teenagers do not act that way. As someone not so far removed from her teen years (I'm about 7 years older than Hazel), I would politely disagree. Teens are smart, witty, and some of them do have expansive vocabularies. But I would also like to point out that Hazel and Augustus are not normal teens.<br/><br/>They both have cancer, which has a profound impact on not only their own lives, but many of the lives around them. Not only does our lead, Hazel, have cancer, but she is terminal. She is sixteen years old and is dying. At 16 most of us believe that we are invincible and that we will never die. It's a part of developmental psychology. However for Hazel, this is not true. She has completely skipped that developmental stage in her life (along with several others) and gone all the way to the last one. She is faced with death at an age where it isn't even thought about. Of course she seems older. Cognitively, she is.<br/><br/>I love how this book contains cancer, but the story isn't about cancer. It's about two kids living with the time they have been given. They're doing what most of us aren't able to and making the most of things. They see things and treasure things that healthy people aren't even noticing. This book is not about death. It is about living.<br/><br/>Yes, it is sad. Yes, I sobbed for the last quarter of it. It is a beautifully written book. The story is believable and poignant. It really hits home, because I can understand this. I have seen this. It's more than a tragic love story, because I think it would have been even more tragic if Hazel would have never loved at all.<br/><br/>All I can say is read it. It's been almost a month since I did and it is still resonating deeply with me. It is a remarkable and beautiful book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RFFM9AR4S14H7?ASIN=014242417X	Where Do I Begin?	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Hazel has never been anything but terminal...but when...Augustus Waters suddenly appears at Cancer Kid Support Group, Hazel's story is about to be completely rewritten. I was already rolling my eyes by the time I scanned the book flap; disliking this novel would be like telling someone you liked smothering puppies. How can you hate a story about kids with cancer?<br/><br/>As a pediatrician who spends much of my day caring for hospitalized children, many whom are chronically ill just like Hazel Grace and Augustus, I'm always leery toward attempts to capture what it means to be a terminally ill young adult. Often such portrayals can seem sentimental and emotionally manipulative--in part to the grand Dalai Lama of Melodrama, Eric Segal, who essentially invented the genre with Love Story, published over 40 years ago. Indeed, it's now the middle-aged granddaddy of them all. Love Story (both the novel and film) set the stage for all succeeding contemporary cancer dramas. One can't evoke the image of a stricken Jenny Cavalleri in the bed, Oliver Barrett IV dutifully keeping watch by her bedside, without the music playing in the background, without the line which has now become a tired cliche: love means never having to say to you're sorry.<br/><br/>Love, in fact, does nothing of the sort. There are plenty of things to be sorry about when dealing with love, and terminal illness, both things said and unsaid, near the end. Thus, how do you tackle such a tragedy with grace and humor, while avoiding sentiment and melodrama, yet keeping true to the tragedy? Exactly how John Green has done it here. Hazel Grace and Augustus are instantly real, and their voices and characters felt alive to me from the first scenes. Sure, they speak precociously, beyond their years with thoughts and language, but Green uses this license to advantage--after all, they both indeed are beyond their years in the deepest and most gravest sense. A sideline plot twist with a mysterious author who resides in Amsterdam was the only part I found less interesting; still, Green kept me going until the end. I really felt like he inhabited the world in which many of my patients find themselves trapped in, with his attention to details, the oncologic lingo. The way in which teenagers speak and live. The hospital is a place which Hazel Green and Augustus have both grown up in, and come of age in--stealing what little chance they've had at childhood. Green's characters are never flat, they're richly drawn, which makes this story even more damningly tragic. It made me want to be a better doctor.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/REUE8KJX76QC?ASIN=014242417X	Heart-wrenching, ugly-crying, beautifully written story. One of the BEST book I have ever read.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">THE FAULT IN OUR STARS by JOHN GREEN<br/><br/>It depends on your perspective really. I have no idea what the story of this book is all about when I decided to start reading it but I'm not disappointed. Not at all. I am writing this right after I finished the beautiful book. Like I said, PERSPECTIVE. You may say that the book is morbid, sad, funny, unfair but I would like to think that it has a very beautiful story about love &amp; life. Yes, it's also funny. The humor is palpable and so is sadness. Even in dying, you can still find a way to joke around and laugh and it's not a bad thing. We all have ways of coping and that means your sanity is still intact.<br/><br/>IDK bout you but while reading this book, I have a lot of questions bout life and one is, WHY BAD THINGS HAPPEN TO PEOPLE? I know there are Augustus &amp; Hazel out there and maybe have the same situation (or had) but don't you think it's unfair? I mean, I want them to have a good life. There are people in this world who doesn't deserve to live but still they exist. I just don't understand. I don't understand the lesson in it. And I think, I will never will. Not unless God appear in front of me right now and answer my questions.<br/><br/>Dying. Death. It's also part of the book. Some (maybe most) people don't like to talk about death because it makes them sad. I don't know what's the difference in grieving if a person you love dies compared to your dog being dead. But from what I experienced from our dog dying last year, it was very exhausting and very, very sad. I know I just compared a person to a dog but I really don't have anything to compare it to. I will never be prepared if my mom or brother dies, no one can be prepared for any of that (I think) but if someone will tell me right now that I will be dead in a month, I will be grateful. Why? It means I still have time to do what I want and to tell the people I love that I love &amp; appreciate them.<br/><br/>""Grief does not change you. It reveals you.""<br/><br/>Like Peter Van Houten's An Imperial Affliction, I guess will never know what happened to Hazel after reading Gus' letter. But unlike Hazel (she wants to know the ending of Van Houten's book), in this story, I do not. Obviously, she will die but I'd like to think she died contented. Having to meet the love of her life even in a short time is good enough. I would rather live in a short time knowing I experienced that kind of love &amp; joy with Gus than live long and not have any of it. Yes, it's unfair. Duh. Life is a bitch, haven't you noticed? But what makes life worth living is having all the unexpected things that makes your heart flutter &amp; makes you smile everyday. So yes, life is unfair but it's worth it. And Hazel said, ""I do"" and that means she doesn't regret meeting Gus and her decision to love him.<br/><br/>""Some infinities are bigger than other infinities.""<br/><br/>♥ ""You don't get to choose if you get hurt in this world, old man, but you do have some say in who hurts you. I like my choices. I hope she likes hers.""- Augustus Waters ♥<br/><br/>** Also posted on my TUMBLR &amp; GR account</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1P35N0BQCHYTL?ASIN=014242417X	Heartwarming & heart wrenching, all at once.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was one that I tried to avoid reading at first because I know that the story, kind of hits home. My younger brother was diagnosis with cancer four years ago, and although he is healthy now (I am grateful everyday for this, even when he is being a moody teenager) I can never forget that dark time in my life when everyday I wondered if this day will be his last. With that said, I also notice that this book is one of John Green's most popular, and since I loved the other two books that I have read from him (Paper Towns, Looking for Alaska) I wanted to give this one a try.<br/><br/>Well, I absolutely loved this book. It was amazing from start to finish. First off, I love John's or should I say Hazel's take on cancer and death. She gets annoyed with people viewing cancer patients as being these wholly beings only capable of of good, and how powerful these patients' strength are. In reality, cancer sucks, and those who are not sick feel uncomfortable around those that are. They don't want to be seen as these warriors, but as normal people and that can truly never be. I like how honest Hazel is, and how John portrays her as a teenager who wants to live life rather than a cancer patient waiting for death to take her away in his chariot. She is honest, funny, and strong-all of these traits having nothing to do with her sickness, but in the person that she is. Hazel is not a girl with cancer, she is just a girl.<br/><br/>Augustus Waters, oh my goodness, one of my favorite characters ever...in any book. His sense of humor, charm, and outlook on life shines through the pages. I wish I could meet someone like him in real life, someone who makes the world better just by merely existing.<br/><br/>The characters, this world, and their troubles are all very vivid and real. I came into this book, excepting to be really depressed-as the topic of cancer is always saddening-but I didn't except to also laugh and fall in love with these characters. At such a young age, Hazel, Augustus and Issac know more about life than most people do.<br/><br/>There was quite some twists and turns in this book, and there were times when the reveals were made that really surprised me.<br/><br/>Out of all the books I've read, and being a book lover I have read many, I have not encountered characters like the ones in this book. Characters that are so real and charismatic despite their situations, characters that refuse to live inside a book, characters that demand to be analyzed and remembered, and characters that I know will always stay with me.<br/>The Fault in Our Stars, is fantastic, but then again I wouldn't expect any less from John Green.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1JY2U3BAUQFUH?ASIN=014242417X	Grab your tissues before you read this book,	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Okay, guys, I've been holding out on you. I finished this amazing book that most of you have probably already read (and if you haven't, you need to), but I just couldn't bring myself to review it. The Fault in Our Stars, wow, well I knew it dealt with cancer and people said it sounded like a Lurlene McDaniel book...so it's been on my to-read list forever. I finally bought the ebook version when it went on sale for 3.99 on Amazon. I had so many other things to do and read before I started that book, so I just opened one page just to see what it was like, and I was instantly sucked in to the story. First, although I love Lurlene, the writing style is way different. It paints what I believe to be the cold hard truth of cancer --- you're scared, not brave. You have no choice but to put on that brave face for others, but internally it's frightening. So many stories (not always Lurlene's, but others) dealing with cancer kind of glorify the `victim', like they're so wonderful and perfect and strong...when really, they're human like the rest of us, and John Green captures that perfectly.<br/> Hazel Grace is a cancer `survivor', though the cancer is still there, dwelling in her lungs. She walks around with an oxygen tank, as reclusive as her mother will allow, and is forced to attend a cancer support group. It is there that she meets Augustus Waters, another cancer survivor who had the unfortunate experience of losing a limb. The two hit it off, and soon enough they're talking about a favorite book of Hazel's --- analyzing it and discussing the `ending'. Their friendship/relationship deepens, but as Hazel gets sicker and sicker, Augustus gives Hazel what he hopes to be a wonderful gift...but sadly, the world is not a wish granting factory.<br/> The writing style is so raw and real. I cannot wait to read John Green's other books. Five stars, for sure!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RGVGTCYLU73YK?ASIN=014242417X	Funny, sad, heartfelt, yet intriguing.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I am not going to recap the story, because that has been done a thousand times- but I do want to express to you, the reader, the effects that this book had on me.<br/><br/>I felt guilty after having listened to the audiobook version of this. The Fault In Our Stars is a book that deserves to be read and not just listened to. To take the side of Peter van Houten, we can get lost in the day-to-day mundanity of having all this information at our fingertips, that it is all readily accessible. In a way, it takes the romance out of the experience of this book. That is not to say that the audiobook version was bad, but quite the contrary. The narrator, Kate Rudd, did an outstanding job; she had the attitude and spunk of a teenage girl, but could also project emotions that made you cry. I mean this literally - not want to cry, but to actually breakdown and start crying.<br/><br/>I can't quite explain to you how much I thoroughly enjoyed this book, the only way I know how to describe this is to let you know that this is my first review over a book. I have read through all of the Ender's Game and Ender's Shadow books, Game of Thrones, Divergent, Hunger Games, Harry Potter, Odd Thomas series, and several more that I can't think of right now. I read every book in all of those series, and loved every one of them. While I kept finding favorites among those series, this book tops them all. I have felt sad, and have laughed while reading books before but this was different. I don't know how to explain that after finishing the last of the book, I had a lump in my throat for at least 4 hours. Just recalling the book long enough to write this review has reformed the lump.<br/><br/>The emotions in this book felt surreal, such that John Green knew exactly how to play me like an instrument - picking out individual notes that resonated within my innermost self. Do yourself a treat and read this book, you will not regret it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1A58TGPWO6S6C?ASIN=014242417X	A YA novel worth its weight in gold	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I have a confession to make. Although I am a high-school literature teacher, I cannot stand most of the contemporary YA novels that my students read and talk about. I try, I really do, but all that follows is disappointment. Hunger Games started well, but crashed and burned as the series progressed. That's more than can be said for Matched or Divergent, books that stumbled at the starting line. My faith for the next generation of readers dwindled.....I asked myself, ""Would they ever have a book worthy of being read by generations to follow?"" An ambitious question, I know, but an important one. After all, my generation had ""The Giver"" and ""Hatchet,"" which are heavily taught in schools today. Well, Millennials, I have good news for you; you now have your once-in-a-generation YA novel.<br/><br/>The Fault in Our Stars is the rare book that doesn't talk down or present a dumbed-down world to its target audience. John Green presents the world as it is today, with its pain, its ugliness, and its beauty. And he presents two teenagers who memorize poetry, wax philosophically, obsess over obscure books, and contemplate oblivion; though these types of kids may seem rare today (thank you 24-hour news cycles and reality television for failing to present the Millennials in any but the most negative of lights); in my experience, this type of teenager is far more common than adults are led to believe.<br/><br/>The critics of this book surely have some qualms about this novel. Allow me to counter these well-meaning yet misguided critics: Yes, this book has teenage drinking; yes, this book presents teenage sex; yes, this book features teenagers dying. But John Green presents all three of these with a care and a delicacy that would give teenage readers time to pause and contemplate(by the way, teens are hardly an impressionable and naive group, as they are exposed to these concepts in far more vulgar ways everywhere else they look in the world today).<br/><br/>Furthermore, this novel features no vampires or otherworldly beings, no ill-conceived love triangles, no damsel-in-distress, no unnecessary, bloated sequels, and, most thankfully, no young protagonists forced to kill in order to save the world from some dystopian nightmare. The impact these young protagonists leave might be minimal in their own fictional yet all-too-familiar world (which they themselves admit in the novel), but their impact on my life, and on the lives of countless other readers of this book, is substantial.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R15YQJQSNG4HIN?ASIN=014242417X	5 plus stars for me	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">5 stars plus (spoiler-ish)<br/>Let me start this review by saying that this will be my first, honest, indepth review. Also, let me say that I now truly understand what an honest-to-god 5 plus star book is.<br/><br/>I have been seeing people mention how everyone should read ""the fault in our stars"" and I was hesitant at first after reading the premise on amazon. I knew this book would be intensely emotional, and honestly I didn't want to drag myself down to those depths while dealing with a bout of sadness myself. I'm glad that I took the chance to read this book.<br/><br/>The book starts off with us meeting our heroine hazel who is a bit of a Debbie downer but in all actuality a realist. She has been dealt a shit lot in life and is left basically going through the motions. Her mom, the typical clingy mom one can expect when faced with losing an only child, and dad, the thought provoking crier, are supporting characters who add a ton of depth and insight to the book. After being somewhat forced to go to a support group for cancer survivors, hazel meets one Augustus Winters, who from first sight brought Hazel out of her pessimism and taught her to live her life.  Their story is beautifully intertwined while we go through their development into love that some of us wish we can experience.  At the risk of not wanting to spoil the book for anyone, i must say that I cried during about 2/3 of the book and at most of those jags of crying I had a lump the size of Texas in my throat. The book is, as expected, tragically sad but adds a plethora of poignant quips to help the reader truly think about our lives and how we fit in them.<br/><br/>One such poignant quip is ""the voracious ambition of humans is never sated by dreams coming true, because there is always the thought that everything might be done better and again.""<br/><br/>The book seems to somewhat parallel the book within, whereas it seems to end in the middle, not like a dreaded cliffhanger, but to let the reader see what they think of as the ending. We aren't left with as many open ended questions as in ""an imperial affliction"", we find out what mom and dads lives will entail after Hazel dies, but we never actually experience her death. I like to think that she was able to live as well as possible and died a somewhat painless death. But that's just what I hope.<br/><br/>I know this review might seem jumbled up and all over the place, but I feel since Mr. Green took the time to write such a beautifully tragic book, that's easily 5 stars if not more, then I can take the time to express my gratitude for it. Thank you Mr. John Green.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2KBLNS5N1OPE9?ASIN=014242417X	Beautiful, hilarious, thought-provoking and tragic	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Dear John Green,<br/><br/>You. Are. Killing. Me.  I read The Fault in Our stars yesterday in less than 24 hours.  Although I think this book deserves much more reflection than a mere matter of hours, I couldn't help myself.  I literally could not put the book down.  It's a good thing it was a Saturday and my husband was here; otherwise, my children would have had to fend for themselves due to a neglectful mother.<br/><br/>In the last two weeks, I've read Paper Towns, Looking for Alaska and The Fault in Our Stars.  The latter is BY FAR my favorite.  I also shed more tears reading it than I have cumulatively for the last year.  You just had to do that to us, didn't you John Green?  Now, I have read many reviews that critique you for using a ""formula"" in your writing.  And yes, it is true that I see many resemblances between these three books (more so in Paper Towns and Looking for Alaska).  But with that, I have also encountered writing that is so profound, thought-provoking and downright funny that it's hard to criticize.  I actually laughed out loud several times while reading this.  I mean really, only you could make a one-legged cancer victim irresistibly hot.  And clever.  And naively romantic.  And brilliant.  Oh man...<br/><br/>But truly, the manner in which you delicately yet honestly handled the oh-so-scary matter of cancer was beyond commendable.  And it's not just people who have had cancer or known someone with cancer or studied cancer that can appreciate this book.  Anyone who has experienced pain, grief, love or loss will glean wisdom from this story.<br/><br/>I also want to thank you for making both of the main characters incredibly likeable.  No Margos or Alaskas here.  Augustus and Hazel were both...how do I put this?  Freaking awesome!!  Not without flaws, but still kind, original, funny (albeit a little strange) people.  They became real to me, which I think is the intent of good writing.<br/><br/>So thank you John Green.  Even though you made me sob like a child, I don't think I can adequately express how wonderfully fantastic this book is.  You are something else.<br/><br/>Until next time,<br/><br/>Brittney</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RUPXII2XPWOO7?ASIN=014242417X	A Heartwarming, Quirky YA Story!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Sixteen-year-old Hazel is living with stage four thyroid cancer with mets in her lungs. Well, she's not really living, she's just getting from one day to the next. She attends a cancer support group because her parents think she's depressed. Well, hey.. I think it's natural to feel a certain degree of depression fighting cancer and toting around a portable oxygen tank for three years. With a revolving door at her support group, due to everyone having cancer and all, Hazel is used to seeing old faces disappear and new ones pop up in their place. Meeting Augustus Waters changed everything, though. Hazel would never be the same person she was before that day.<br/><br/>I've had an emotional day -- combine that with PMS and I'm probably going to cry through this review process. In fact, you're in luck because I'm not going to write a novel about a novel today. It's not that this was a terribly sad book. I mean, it is because it deals with a very emotional topic, but the author makes it the most amusing heavyhearted book possible, if that makes sense. I think it's because the overall story is so beautiful it brings tears to my eyes.<br/><br/>I love the characters in The Fault in Our Stars. Hazel is truly awesome with her quirkiness and her brilliant mind. She's determined, even if she doesn't always know where her resolve is aimed. It was a lot of fun getting to know her. Augustus (Gus) is equally fabulous and flawed, almost as if he was created to be Hazel's male counterpart. Their interaction is priceless, and something that I will not soon forget. Even the secondary characters make my heart pitter-patter. Very well-rounded plot and character development right here.<br/><br/>I don't know why it took me so long to pick up a copy of this book. I've seen EVERYONE talk about it for at least a year, but never made the time. I'm so glad I finally did. This is a compelling tale about one girl's journey into a whole new chapter of her life, one that may not have happened if circumstances were different. I highly recommend The Fault in Our Stars to everyone with eyes capable of reading - no pun intended. Well, maybe a little. There's always the braille option, though. Is this book available in braille, Mr. Green?</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2U3LT7IU2X648?ASIN=014242417X	I hate this kind of book for being too real, true to life. Audiobook version.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I avoid this type of book like the plague.<br/>I'm overly sensitive to negative emotions...not kidding, it rips me apart. This book was worse than most because it was so well written, so real, i loved the characters and felt the loss and grief like they were real people...it's hard for me to say this because men just aren't supposed to admit these things. Ever.<br/><br/>Intelligent, witty characters are very difficult to pull off, you have to be witty and intelligent to do it. This author has these skills in excess, crushing your soul in one line, making you laugh through tears with the next.<br/><br/>The narration was so good that at the point i would normally walk away, i couldn't stop...and the thing ripped me apart and left me broken, real tears, real grief, real pain in my chest...i've known real grief in my life and i'm telling you this felt just as painful for me, luckily ten minutes after the audiobook ended the realization it was just a book took away the grief and the pain...and i felt stupid for getting so sucked in.<br/><br/>I'm sure the printed version is great, i could have put down a printed book so easily when i realized where this one was going...but, Audible audiobooks give you a trained narrator that make you believe you're there, in real life, and it will pull you in much deeper when the characters actually speak to you with real voices. This woman was good, real good, Kate Rudd is a narrator that gives the world goose bumps, like Pavarotti, or Elvis define the term legends...her portrayal of both male and female teenagers is second to none in skill and will convince you absolutely.<br/>I am wrung out after listening to this audiobook...inspired to write about it, and even admitting to blubbering like a baby....damn you, John Green...<br/><br/>If for some bizarre reason you revel in quirky, romantic,sad tales with happy endings then by all means, buy the Audio version of this book...but be warned, it is powerful, it is deceptive, it will suck you in and rip the heart, still beating, from your chest...seek psychiatric attention for yourself if this appeals to you.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RNBJJO5Q9QM5F?ASIN=014242417X	Memorable and thought-provoking.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I've had this book suggested to me a lot. Well, I'm trying to read a YA set in every state, and encourage ideas, and so it's not odd that this was the popular pick for Indiana. I hesitated, because I could tell it was going to be sad.<br/><br/>I'm not opposed to sad stories, but I have to be in the right emotional place to read them. Still, it soon became clear that TFiOS had moved a lot of people. It has to be my Indiana.<br/><br/>I should point out that I sometimes use the option on my Fire to listen to the Audible version of the book as I read. Yeah, I'm the one who does that, the only one. :) So, I have to say that the narration was terrific.<br/><br/>TFiOS was an unnaturally good read. Funny, moving, thought-provoking, and strangely life-affirming. Yes, I cried, but it was worth it, because the tears were honest and earned, and not based on author manipulation -- or at least I didn't see the strings. These are likable characters, and unfair things happen to them that really happen to people every single day. People say God never gives us more than we can handle, but the jury is still out on that one. Bad things often pile on top of other bad things, for whatever reason ... or no reason at all.<br/><br/>I've read some criticism that the characters act too old, but I don't think so. There are smart kids in the world, and Hazel and Augustus have more reason than most to know they have to do what they find important, be the people they want to grow up to be, right now. This is particular true of Augustus, who tried harder than most to be his best self.<br/><br/>I loved the time spent with these characters, enough to cyber-stalk the author. This is my non-threatening homage to authors I like involving binging on past interviews, and what have you. Since he has a prolific vlog with his brother, this will take months. :) (And that makes me happy.)<br/><br/>DFTBA -- Don't forget to be awesome.<br/><br/>(If you have a suggestion for terrific YA, the middle of America is pretty wide open -- please feel free to add a comment.)</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3TLD6EQXIMB5Z?ASIN=014242417X	Mind blowingly awesome!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">While I understand that this blog is primarly for adult genred books, I feel like sometimes we run across a book that transcends all genres and that everyone should read. A Fault in Our Stars is that book. It is so well written, intense, and impactful that anyone 15-100 would be touched and love this book.<br/><br/>The Positives<br/>This book follows Hazel, a 16 year old that is living with Stage IV cancer and not much else. She sits at home with her mom and dad, reading, and watches America's Next Top Model. The thing about Hazel is that even though she has given up being regular because of the cancer, it does not affect her sense of humor. She is a really witty and fun girl to be with, and the cancer does not really define that part of her. She reminds me of a girl that I used to teach that is surviving cancer. She is so intelligent and does not let cancer affect her personality. She is not a girl with cancer, she is a girl....who happens to be sick. Hazel is an inspiration to everyone.<br/><br/>Hazel meets Augustus Waters at a cancer support group meeting and pretty much falls head over heels in love with him in like the first 10 minutes of meeting him. He is bright, funny, and pretty much the male equivalent of Hazel. They hit it off right away and have a brilliant relationship. I will not give too much of the book away, but he is a dream guy and a great catch. I love his attitude and the way he leads his life. He is top notch.<br/><br/>The thing I like most about the book is the emotions that Green delves into. You feel joy, anger, and most of all heart-wrenching sadness while you are going through the life of these two young people. The relationship between the two of them is so sweet and tender, they are in love and that makes your heart swell. Then by the end of the book , you are ugly girl crying. I actually clutched the book in my arms and rocked back and forth while bawling when the book was finished. It is a roller coaster of emotions, but in a most awesome and powerful way.<br/><br/>The Negatives<br/>The only thing that I wished was done differently was I wish there was an epilogue that let us know how Hazel was doing after the conclusion of the book. Did she go into remission? Did her lungs stop filling up with so much fluid? Did she die? I hate being left hanging when I am invested in a character.<br/><br/>The Verdict<br/>Make this book one of your number 1's right away! It is worth a place on your bookshelf. EVERYONE in the world must read this book!<br/><br/>See the review at [...]</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R28ITS992RVOEO?ASIN=014242417X	An astounding addition to the ranks of great literature	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I don't even know where to start with this book... it's kind of one of those ""I'm still shell-shocked after experiencing emotional trauma at the hands of a book but I have to explain why that was one of the best experiences ever."" But I'll do what I can.<br/><br/>Simply put, John Green is the kind of author that speaks TO you very deeply, not AT you like a lot of authors. You get the sense when reading his work like he's writing a story not just for the money or because his readers expect it of him, but because he wanted to speak to you. To communicate with you, as the reader, and to tell you something that's important to him. We all know John Green is an adult, but the way he writes, he is very clearly still a kid at heart. He sees things the way teenagers see things, and not in that overdramatic, cliche way a lot of authors fall into. He tells it like it's real. And you feel like it's real when you read it.<br/><br/>Something I learned from taking creative writing classes in college, is that not every story has to be sweeping and epic and suspenseful and deeply plot-oriented. The best books are oftentimes the books we relate to the most, with people in relate-able situations. There doesn't always have to be a traumatic crisis by page seven, or a budding proletariat revolution by page fifteen. Sometimes all you need is story, a believable experience of someone in everyday life just trying to survive in this world. John Green has landed himself squarely in that golden zone. He's made the story meaningful without making it grand, and engrossing without making it grossly overdone. And in a sense, this makes it feel more real to the reader than any YA novel about teens saving the world with their newly discovered powers of magic and their devastatingly attractive male cohort.<br/><br/>Another thing I adore about Mr. Green's writing is that though he writes for a young adult audience, he writes intelligently. Not just intelligently, but with a certain level of genius. Several times throughout the book I would literally have to put it down and sit there for a minute, just absorbing what he said. He would have these unexpected pockets and moment of profundity that would catch you off guard in the best ways. Most of the story is composed with wit and humor and then sometimes he'll just hit you with it--a philosophical nugget that enriches the entire experience. It's like biting into a cookie and then finding the inside is full of chocolate. It's almost like reading a mix of a YA book and a book on philosophy. It's precisely awesome. What makes it even better is that John Green doesn't try to dumb anything down for you. Unlike a lot of authors with shallow plots and characters and barely any actual intelligence in the writing, John actually talks to you like you're a smart adult, not just a teenager. He believes that his readers are as smart as anyone else, and that's quite gratifying to read. He doesn't try to dumb anything down for you. It's all there, and it makes you think, and I believe that is something that makes this book (and Mr. Green's other stories) very special.<br/><br/>Of course the issue many people who don't like the book address is the problem of Hazel and Augustus not talking or sounding like believable teenage characters. I admit that most teenagers are not as thoughtful, intelligent, profound, or use as big of vocabulary as these characters. However, John Green is not completely off base. I can say from personal experience that teenagers can be that smart. I was one of them, or at least I spent a lot of my time around them in high school and now in college. So while Hazel's and Augustus's level of sophistication and grammatical aptitude is somewhat unusual, it's not completely abnormal. (Also note that several times, Augustus will use big words in the wrong context. Mr. Green says he did this on purpose, because Augustus is a character who tries hard to be grand but still is not in many ways. He just wants to be. As John Green said, ""I don't think Hazel or Gus necessarily have particularly high IQs (Gus in particular is constantly misusing words). I just think they're intellectually curious""). In short, even if it was unusual, I thought it made it better. For once, teenagers in YA books aren't just average and ditsy and content with their limited knowledge of their universe. Augustus and Hazel want to know more and strive to be more, and I love it.<br/><br/>Anyway, I have probably rambled for long enough, but I could probably write essays upon essays about why I adore this book and why it is an astoundingly great piece of literature. But suffice to say, John Green has created a masterpiece, and I believe it will rest forever in a prominent place on the history shelves of phenomenal literature.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2TG2OBOHSMC4R?ASIN=014242417X	This book was much more than a book about kids with cancer.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I have broken John Green ground, finally! Thank you to everyone who voted for this book during my April book poll. As difficult as this book was, I thank you all for giving me the push to finally dive in. I am happy to have finally experienced John Green's brilliance. He certainly knows how to tell a story, and more importantly, how to write characters.<br/><br/>Hazel and Augustus. I am not even sure what to say about these two characters that would prove the magnitude of their presence and spirit in this book. Both are afflicted with different types of cancers, in different stages and with different outcomes. Both have been through utter hell and continue to experience the physical and emotional pain and suffering of terminal illness. However, there are times where I would not have even remembered they were sick, had it not been for Hazel's need for oxygen and Augustus' limp. When they found one another, they both started to truly live again. And live they did. They had big moments and small moments and glorious moments and devastating moments. But they experienced them all together, basking in the glow of their new found love and respect. That ""for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health"" marriage vow was never more apparent in any story than it was with Hazel and Augustus. And they were teenagers who were not married, nor thinking about it. There was just so much truth and honesty inside them both that it burst out to envelop the other. Not to mention, they were like two peas in a pod. It's definitely hard to put into words the perfect imperfection these two characters were together.<br/><br/>And I just have to talk about Augustus all by his onesies. This young man was AH-mazing. He was full of lust for life, and despite his illness, lived life to the absolute fullest. Never once did I see negativity or pessimism cross this young man's thoughts. He was romantic and nerdy and fun. He was also very compassionate and humble. This guy had it all, and I will never forget what a beautiful character he is, and how much he made my heart smile in this book.<br/><br/>This book was much more than a book about kids with cancer. It was about living life and taking risks and being in love and exploring the world and enjoying beauty and the inner strength people can muster when life hands them a basket full of lemons.  Believe it or not, I did not ugly cry. My eyes teared up, and I put the book down numerous times to gather myself, but I did not sob myself to sleep. I held on tightly to the beauty of the character's life-altering experiences, and it got me through the book. I am really happy that I've been digging my heels into YA contemporary books more than I ever have. There are some incredible gems out there and I look forward to reading all of John Green's work.<br/><br/>Favorite Scene<br/>""May I see you again?"" he asked. There was an endearing nervousness in his voice.<br/><br/>I smiled. ""Sure.""<br/><br/>""Tomorrow?"" he asked.<br/><br/>""Patience, grasshopper,"" I counseled. ""You don't want to seem overeager.<br/><br/>""Right, that's why I said tomorrow,"" he said. ""I want to see you again tonight. But I'm willing to wait all night and much of tomorrow."" I rolled my eyes. ""I'm serious,"" he said.<br/><br/>""You don't even know me,"" I said. I grabbed the book from the center console. ""How about I call you when I finish this?""<br/><br/>""But you don't even have my phone number,"" he said.<br/><br/>""I strongly suspect you wrote it in this book.""<br/><br/>He broke out into that goofy smile. ""And you say we don't know each other.""</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2B5QGJC8J6MZ9?ASIN=014242417X	Best John Green book yet; just awesome!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I have been wanting to read this book for a long time.  It was an absolutely wonderful read.  It was at turns hilarious and heartfelt; I laughed a number of times and cried a few as well.<br/><br/>Hazel is sixteen and on a drug that is holding her cancer at bay, but just barely.  Her lungs don't work and she needs oxygen to breath, but she is going to school and taking it one day at a time.  That is until Augustus Waters limps into Cancer Kid Support Group with his 80% survival rate and a wicked wink.  Hazel doesn't want to get involved but she just can't help herself.<br/><br/>Yes this book is about teen kids with cancer, but it is surprisingly hilarious despite it's somewhat somber topic.  Hazel has a snarky and hilariously dark sense of humor.  She sees dark humor in everything from the Cancer Group's continually rotating attendance (because you know a lot of the kids die off) to the sad fact that their councilor's best accomplishment of his rather boring life is having survived testicular cancer.<br/><br/>Somehow rather than pitying Hazel  you empathize with her and laugh along with her as she struggles to make a life with this crazy hand she's been dealt.  Green does an excellent job of covering a number of issues for this kind of situation.  Hazel is very smart and emotionally mature.  One of the things she is most concerned about is being a burden on those she loves. At one point she says something to the effect of ""After all, the only thing worse than being a kid with cancer is being the parent of a kid with cancer.""<br/><br/>Watching Hazel interact with her parents is really interesting too.  She's an only child.  Her dad is excessively emotional and breaks into tears at the slightest emotional tumult (good or bad).  Her mother basically has a full time job managing Hazel's doctor appointments and care.  Her parents love her and try hard not to hover and this is portrayed really well in this book.  Hazel never gets really rebellious, but her and her mother do get into some very typical mom/teen arguments.<br/><br/>The other characters in this book are just as interesting and engaging as Hazel.  Augustus of course is in the story a ton; he is a happy-go-lucky type of guy who is absolutely drawn to Hazel right from the get go.  He draws her out of her comfort zone to a place where she gets to experience something she never would.<br/><br/>Isaac is another major character in this book.  He is struggling with eye cancer and is getting ready to undergo a surgery that will require the removal of his other eye...making him blind.  Watching him cope with this along with all your other typical teenage problems was interesting; he was a very engaging character as well.<br/><br/>It was awesome both how extraordinary and ordinary these kids are.  They are all just making their way through life and trying to deal with all the stuff we are all trying to deal with day to day, with some extra junk thrown in.<br/><br/>I won't talk a lot about the plot except to say it builds up to Hazel getting to fullfill one of her lifelong dreams.  There are many twists and turns along the way.  The ending is hopeful, realistic, and heartbreaking all at once.  This story is incredibly engaging, well written, and hard to put down.  I stayed up super late to finish this book.<br/><br/>Overall an amazing and excellent book that manages to be hilarious and heartfelt all at the same time.  It puts the reader through such an emotional roller-coaster; you will laugh out loud a ton...you will cry some too.  I really really enjoyed it.  It takes a wonderful author to write such a fabulous book that deals with such a tough topic and yet makes it hilarious, absolutely heartfelt, and engaging.  Strongly recommended for everyone to read!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1O1TI3S9WCO3W?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing Book!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was amazing in many ways. It had thought-provoking quotes that really made you think about the meaning of life. I was introduced to this book because I was reading for my summer reading assignment and so all the quotes were great for my double-entry journals. What I also like is that this is not your typical teenage love story. It's more than that. It's not just that Gus has a prosthetic leg or Hazel has horrible lungs. It's that in their time when they were coming to an end, they wound their two lives together and created a loving, caring relationship. One thing I don't understand though is how the couple is far ahead of their age. The way they talk and the words they use. Then I realized, cancer makes you grow fast. Not physically (well maybe, depending on what type of cancer you have) but mentally. For Augustus, he knew his time was coming to an end so he matured quickly. For Hazel, because of her lungs and her oxygen tank, she knew she couldn't be a normal teenager so she became unique in a way. She lived in her own alternate universe that she shared with Augustus. Lastly, I want to say that this book made me cry. Now it takes a lot for me to cry, especially if it's a book. I recommend this book for anyone who likes thinking a lot (philosophers basically). If you like thinking about life and if you enjoy reading simple quotes about life, this is for you. Now let me just say,  THIS IS BOOK IS NOT FOR TEENAGERS ONLY. Don't let the teenage fiction sign confuse you. This book is for both teens and adults as well. For teens, it will show a world different from the ones they usually see every day. They will get to see what real love is. For adults, they can see the world of teens, how it is to live with cancer, etc. Overall, I give this book 5 stars. More in fact, if I could. It was just so good! John Green is an amazing writer. This is so far one of the best books ever!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2Y0E7H6L7Y7IP?ASIN=014242417X	Outstanding! Great characters, touching, funny. Recommended!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">** This review, as well as many more, can also be found on my blog, The Baking Bookworm (www.thebakingbookworm.blogspot.ca) **<br/><br/>My Thoughts: This is a book that I noticed months ago while perusing the aisles at my local Chapters and it was put on my 'TBR (To Be Read) List' immediately.  It's gotten a lot of hype (which may or may not be the kiss of death for a book).  In this case the hype is warranted.<br/><br/>This was a touching read.  Even though you know it's going to be a sad book (it deals with teenagers with cancer-ravaged bodies) and will, most likely, deal with death it doesn't detract from enjoying this book.  You'd think that a book that focuses on a group of teens with cancer would be a huge tear fest from beginning to end but for the most part this book was funny and, in a strange way, uplifting and oh so very touching.  Yes, it's a veritable roller coaster of emotions.  But it works.<br/><br/>For me, what makes this book stand out are the characters.  Not only are Hazel and Augustus well-rounded and completely engaging characters but the secondary characters, including Isaac and the sets of parents, are all complete and give believable voices to the book.  It's these characters and their relationships with each other that truly shine in this book.<br/><br/>Let's get back to Hazel and Augustus.  I loved Hazel from the first line of the book.  Her dry wit,<br/>sarcasm and humour.  Loved her.  Augustus held his own too and I adored their hilarious banter.  He had some amazing lines in the book that I immediately wrote down because they were just 'that good'.  Here's some of my favs ...<br/><br/>""Oh, I wouldn't mind, Hazel Grace. It would be a<br/>privilege to have my heart broken by you.""<br/><br/>""But, while not all stories have happy endings,<br/>it doesn't make their journey any less beautiful.""<br/><br/>""That's the thing about pain... It demands to be felt.""<br/><br/>""Some infinities are bigger than other infinities""<br/><br/>""I love you present tense""<br/><br/>Some would argue that 'normal teenagers' don't speak like Hazel and Augustus.  I know that I didn't sound quite so cool at that age but, man, would I loved to have been!  I will admit that they had a certain ""Dawson's Creek/more mature than their years"" way of speaking.  But, I loved their sarcasm and just their voices in general. {I'm actually a little surprised and impressed at how well John Green got into the head of a teenage girl.}<br/><br/>Hazel, Augustus (and even Isaac) were believable even if how they said what they said was a little mature for them.  Plus, these aren't normal teens.  These are kids who have dealt with cancer and the threat of death for YEARS.  Honestly, I found Hazel and Augustus to have a more quirky feel to them than being too unbelievably mature for their age.  These teens, after years of treatments, losing friends to the disease that they themselves have, trying to stay strong for their families and friends ... have accepted their fates.  They have cancer.  Cancer SUCKS but their cancers don't define or limit who they are.  They still have life to live.  That's empowering and uplifting.<br/><br/>One of the things that I liked was getting an inside view into the life of a teen with cancer.  Hazel was diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer at the age of 13.  Since then she knows that death is hovering over her but with the help of a miracle drug she has been able to lead a pretty normal life (even though she has to lug an oxygen tank around with her for when her lungs suck at being lungs).  Hazel knows she's living on borrowed time and she hates feeling like an emotional grenade so she tries as hard as possible to minimize the emotional shrapnel that she'll cause her friends and family when she finally dies.  Hazel is hunkering down for the inevitable ... until she meets Augustus.<br/><br/>The one and only thing that I felt detracted from me giving this a full on ""5 star review"" was the addition of the book storyline (a book that Hazel and Augustus are infatuated with).  It broke away from their relationship and, I feel, bogged down the storyline too. It may also stem from the fact that I just didn't 'get' the book.<br/><br/>This is a book about the strength of the human spirit, the bravery and resilience of a bunch of teens who were dealt a really tough lot in life.  It shows the nastiness of cancer and the strength we gain from connecting with others.  It reminds us that we can still make a huge impact on the lives of our loved ones even if we may not be around long enough to make an impact on the world at large.<br/><br/>Here's a quote from the book that sums up how I feel about this book:<br/><br/>""I fell in love the way you fall asleep.  Slowly.  Then all at once.""<br/><br/>Oh yes.  This book got to me slowly and totally captivated me before I knew what was coming.<br/><br/>Highly recommended.<br/><br/>My Rating: 4.5/5 stars</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R14M5MGHZ5SW1S?ASIN=014242417X	I'm not very good with titles.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I picked up this book by chance at an airport, using my usual algorithm: reading the first sentence and deciding whether it was captivating enough to make me want to continue reading. Clearly, it was.<br/><br/>There are many good things to be said about this book, but the one that mattered to me the most was its unshielded honesty. Sick people are not glorified, angelic fighters against their disease with family and friends faithfully by their side. Instead, they pee themselves and throw up, they bitch and moan and hurt their loved ones, they alternate between wishing they were healthy and wishing they were dead. Their friends abandon them and their families often can't offer more than empty, nauseatingly bland inspirational quotes. But through all of this they find each other, they grasp and understand each other, they grow to love each others' souls while their bodies are slowly decaying.<br/><br/>And yes, as it has been mentioned by previous reviewers, they use a language so glorifying and grand that it borders on ridiculousness, and that seems completely unsuitable for 16-year old kids. For a moment I, too was sceptical about it. And them I remembered being 17 and in love for the first time, and how everything felt larger than life; and that was for me, who knew she would have many more of those romances yet to come. How much grandeur must lie in a love like this for a kid who knows it will be their last, their one and only??<br/><br/>It is a book that made me burst out in laughter in the beginning, and grow more and more emotional and melancholic as the protagonist slowly drops her protective wall of cynical indifference and acknowledges her fears and wishes and fragility. But, most importantly, despite the deeply sad topic, the book remains surprisingly life-affirming, continuously reminding the reader why throughout all the pain and desperation life is so, so, so worth living.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RNYXTOJIDFB9F?ASIN=014242417X	Audiobook Review	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I can now officially say I know what all the fuss is about.  This book really was THAT GOOD.  When I go into reading a book with such high expectations I fear the worst will occur.  Happily I can say that did not happen with this one at all.  I loved it just as much as I was hoping I would.  No harm done with the excessive rave reviews... they were fully warranted.  :)<br/><br/>Hazel has cancer.  She almost died a couple times, and can't seem to figure out why she's still alive, walking this earth, when the cancer should have taken over by now.  She needs breathing assistance on a regular basis, but the medication she's on seems to be keeping her tumors at bay, giving her more time.  She may be terminal, but she's still alive.<br/><br/>Hazel reluctantly attends her first support group meeting.  There she meets several wonderful and entertaining characters, including Augustus Waters.  He's silly, fun, witty, sensitive, and is also suffering from cancer.  His is in remission, but he knows how she's feeling and seems to be the only one that's able to connect with Hazel and really get through to her.  As a result of this new relationship with Augustus, Hazel begins to ""live her life"".<br/><br/>Choosing the audio route for a popular book is sometimes not a good thing.  A bad narrator can really ruin even an amazing book.  But I have not a single complaint about Kate Rudd.  She performed this novel beautifully, from the joy and hope Hazel was feeling one minute, to the devastation and hopelessness she was overwhelmed with the next.<br/><br/>Sad?  Yes.  You have to go into this story knowing that it's sad.  If you're looking for a sweet, happy upbeat story, this probably isn't the book you want to read at that moment.  This story involves the wonderful story of romance, love and learning to live life to the fullest.  Yes, all inspirational things, and the story really is that.  But it's centered around teenagers with cancer.  Sad.  This story is so realistic, so harsh and touching, I was completely enthralled right from the beginning.<br/><br/>Seeing as how so many people have already read and gushed about this story excessively, I have a feeling I'm not the sole member of the ""I love TFioS"" fan club.  This is a powerful story that almost anyone will enjoy.  If you haven't read this book (Are there really people that haven't read this yet?  I thought I was the last one!) I suggest you do.  I challenge you to not be touched and inspired by this beautiful story.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RZL97ABT523KY?ASIN=014242417X	Simply Amazing!  Okay?  Okay.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I prolonged reading this one. I knew it was going to be good - not only because of the rave reviews I'd been hearing, but also because the subject matter was a tough one to tackle. And yet, I let it sit in my TBR pile for three months, while I stalled and read other books.<br/><br/>cancer touches many lives, and everyone deals with it differently. What I found amongst those pages, was an exceptional story - and while beautifully written, it was tremendously bittersweet. Anyone who has had even a glimpse into this devastating disease, can completely relate to how raw and heartbreaking this journey truly was.<br/><br/>The relationship between Hazel and Augustus from start to finish, was nothing short of believable - full of emotion, yet flavored throughout with well-timed humor, as the two made their way through such unfortunate circumstances. Neither of them gave credit to their cancer - it simply was what it was, and they both dealt with the hand they were given, in the best way they knew how.<br/><br/>You may have noticed (or not?) that I didn't capitalize the c in the word cancer, anywhere above - and that's because I don't believe it deserves that kind of credit or attention. One day we'll figure out how this horrible disease takes over the human body, metastasizes throughout, and ultimately, takes the ones we love. And we'll stop it. Until then, it's exceptional books like THE FAULT IN OUR STARS that makes you realize, it doesn't matter who you are or what your age is, in the end, cancer affects us all.<br/><br/>John Green is a master at story-telling; a true artist in the way he delivered a journey that could have gone in a non-favorable direction, all too easily. A FAULT IN OUR STARS was an excellent read and a favorite YA contemporary for me - this is one I highly recommend to everyone.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3D716PWVB10V1?ASIN=014242417X	No need to wait for the story to begin!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">One of the best books I've read in a while. This book was recommended to me by a co-worker who normally we don't share the same reading taste. We've passed recommendations back and forth and never do we ever agree on the same book. However, here is one where we both enjoyed it to the max.<br/><br/>The first page is all you need. There is no set up and waiting for the story begin, it's like riding in a race car and the driver puts the pedal to the metal. Whoa!! And it basically kept that momentum the entire length of the book.<br/><br/>I enjoyed both main characters Augustus and Hazel. I loved their growth through the book, individually and together. They were definitely a match made for each other. I loved the little quirks Augustus had and the way he treated Hazel and others in the support group.<br/><br/>My favorite character in the support group was Isaac. I think my reason for saying this was because of his two major obstacles he faced in the book, as well as everyone thought of him as their little brother.<br/><br/>My least favorite character was Van Houten. Well at least at the beginning of the book. By the end of the book I wasn't so hard on the man, probably because I understood him better. I think Augustus had figured him out as well.<br/><br/>My largest contemplation in the book was the parents of both Hazel and Augustus. Learning of the ways they were dealing (or not) and how they were helping the patient to deal (or not), was very interesting to me. In the book Me Before You by JoJo Moyes, the parents of Patrick I also found interesting in their handling of their son's illness and his choices. I could see alot of similarities between the two books, so if you haven't read either one they are both excellent books!<br/><br/>I highly recommend this book to all readers; young, old, male, female, healthy, ill, etc.. It is just a great book!!</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3B684Q6X0BV6D?ASIN=014242417X	Did not expect to love this story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">So, this is the only book that has ever made me laugh out loud in earnest, to the point where people asked me what was so damn funny, while simultaneously crying. Towards the end, I couldn't even bear to listen with anyone else in the room, because it was too personal, so I just lay in bed in the dark and let the tears roll.<br/><br/>This is not a story I would have chosen if I'd known what it was really about, but I was lured in by the endless 5-star reviews and the fact that my library had it on Playaway. I didn't really have a choice. And from the first few minutes, I couldn't turn it off. Listened to all seven+ hours in one day. Kate Rudd didn't just read this book. She performed the entire beautiful thing like a one-woman play and I believed every single voice and knew who was speaking without being told and the life she breathed into the dialogue was better than I could have done in my head, which never happens in audiobooks. She was, in short, unforgettably amazing and if I could leave this review on Audible, I would. I will listen to anything she reads.<br/><br/>I don't know why I've been avoiding John Green. Maybe because he was a man writing YA fiction? I'm clearly judgmental, because I didn't think a man could capture the real heart of a story in the same way a woman could. And I was wrooooooooooong. Hazel Grace was not a character, she was a person, and I met her and I loved her and I loved Augustus Waters and I loved their parents who were the first parents in any YA book I have ever freaking read who were real parents. Parents with feelings who loved their kids and were there without being overbearing or smothery or cliche. And guess what? There was opportunity for Augustus and Hazel to be together without either of their parents having a job that kept them out of the house 24 hours a day. It was miraculous.<br/><br/>This story is not a feel-good HEA. It made me do the ugly cry, which I typically avoid because life is too short to go out of your way to feel heartbroken for imaginary people, but as Augustus's mom would say on a plaque, ""Without pain we would never know joy"" The bright spots of laughter and joy are worth the ugly cry. And unlike An Imperial Affliction, Hazel Grace's favorite book, the ending does not cut short in the middle of the thought. It ends exactly, perfectly, where it should and I am thankful to have experienced it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R6SMB39JX7I30?ASIN=014242417X	Haunting and Hard to read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Warning! Spoilers in comment! Don't read this if you haven't read the book.<br/><br/>At first I didn't want to read this book because I knew that someone was going to die and someone was going to lose someone and etc. In fact, it took me about a month to even convince myself to buy it for my kindle, but I kept putting it off with other stories about how the girl gets the guy or how someone saves this magical land. Some fantasy that always had a happy beginning, middle, and end. I had been afraid to experience, once again, the curse of an attachment to someone with terminal disease such as cancer. In stories like these, someone always dies. And it's usually the healthy person. And it usually teaches us as regular human beings some universal lesson to love each other, keep promises, etc etc. John Green captured precisely all that ran through my mind around the time of my Aunts' deaths, one having died of bone cancer and the other of breast and stomach cancer. And the same when my Grandfather passed away less than a year ago. I don't know why we as humans always complain about dealing with pain as it is very unpleasant (for us and for those around us. No one wants to have to be the consoler or consolee), but yet we subject ourselves to it all the time through stories and the need to feel. When I began reading this book, it was hard because I would remember my aunt having the same mindset as Augustus, and I would remember the countless hours of trying to figure out life and death, which still proved to benefit me in no way as I was not and never will be prepared for death. I believe they are no longer feeling pain, so I'm happy, but I'm still feeling pain, so in a way my mourning is selfish. Anyway, I couldn't get through without crying and missing who I've lost and coming back around to realize, just like Hayley Grace, that we are grenades waiting to hurt someone, even without meaning to, so I don't want to die and be that grenade. I've always believed that life was made as a source of happiness for other people. You are something someone else loves, which is why I feel some people have such a hard time loving themselves, yet are so afraid to die. We are made to care about other people, and would rather not put grief upon others so why would dying be any different. Anyway, I read the book of course, as pain is only an obstacle and a benefit to the overall message and heartwarming tale that is this book. I would just like to say that John Green's mind is genius and understanding. There are few people who can claim to understand the misguided truths and fates of the living, but he does so with dignity and confidence AND for the world to see, which is why this, so far, is the best book I've ever read.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R33GTP3HJQ2BG0?ASIN=014242417X	This Book Caused Me to Think Thoughts I Could Not Fathom into Constellations	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">""Sometimes, you read a book and it fills you with this weird evangelical zeal, and you become convinced that the shattered world will never be put back together unless and until all living humans read the book."" -John Green, ""The Fault in Our Stars""<br/>  For the past ten years John Green, author of Printz Award Winner Looking for Alaska, among many others, had attempted to write a story regarding cancer after serving five months at a children's hospital as a chaplain after college. His experiences with unnecessary death have helped him pen one of the best, if not the best, examples of modern YA literature.<br/>  Sixteen year old Hazel Grace Lancaster has been diagnosed with lung cancer. Despite the tumor-shrinking miracle that has bought her some years, her time is running out. Hazel lives her life reading the same book, ""An Imperial Affliction"" by Peter van Houten, over and over again and feels that the author ""gets"" her and how she, a teen with cancer, feels. Hazel wants nothing more than to know what happens after the end of the book, where the novel ends mid-sentence, symbolizing the unpredictable nature of death. Hazel's mother takes her unusual behavior as a sign of depression and signs her up for a Cancer Kid Support Group at the local church, featuring a rotating cast of the terminally ill. It is here that she makes a friend of Isaac, a lover of video games with cancer in the remaining eye that fate has spared him. She also falls for charismatic, one-legged Augustus Waters, who, when he offers to give up his cancer Wish (think Make-a- Wish foundation) to see Peter van Houten, changes her life in way she would never have imagined.<br/>  Before reading the novel, the idea turned me off somewhat. As Hazel herself states, ""Cancer books suck"". This is not a book about cancer. This is not a book about death - these elements serve primarily the drive the plot along, but it is the ingenious and intelligent characters and the relationships between them, primarily between Hazel and Gus, that make this book. TFiOS, like all of John Green's novels, is not dumbed down for teenagers. While Hazel and Augustus are most definitely adolescents, their dialogue gives away their deeper maturity. Despite their terminal illnesses, these incredibly likable characters do not behave in a way that reminds one of the fact.<br/>  ""The Fault in Our Stars"" is beautiful, funny, undeniably clever, and emotionally moving. To quote one of John Green's YouTube videos, it truly does make the reader ""feel all the things."" TFiOS can likely drive a reader to laugh while crying, feel anger in the midst of pity, and feel joy in the presence of death. It is a miracle it could even be captured in words at all, thus making it nearly impossible to describe. If this book does not give a reader chills, they may very well not possess a soul.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2APMNQGYJPVUP?ASIN=014242417X	You will ugly cry so hard!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This novel is freaking deep. Take away the fact we have teenagers faced with terminal illnesses, and it will still mess you up five different ways to Monday. I love that it's about life and yea, it's about kids freakin' dying, but it HAD TO BE. It's meant to be used as a way for us to evaluate our own lives and our own choices and our own way of living. It's meant to upset you. It's meant to disrupt the perfect day-to-day life you pretend to live, only to be screwed up by the petty not-so-day-to-day mishaps. It's meant to get you up out of your seat or bed or bean bag chair or, if you're anything like me, off the floor, and get doing and being who you are. The book had to be about teenagers! And you know why?? Because it wouldn't upset you as much. Something about a story robbing you of the rest of your life at a young age screws up EVERYONE. But that's the point. If you don't like it, then you don't get it. Go back and try again. Shall we discuss the ending? Nope, I'd rather not. John Green will not let you down. The ending has one very distinct meaning and if you don't get it, turn around, do the walk of shame back to your copy, and try it again.<br/><br/>But when it comes to what I didn't like: Did I mention it had freakin' teenagers dying in it? It sucks and I bawled the whole last quarter of the book. In a way, it is pandering a bit. I mean, you're a jerk with a capital *D* if you hate a book about kids dying. It's a rule somewhere, I swear. But I already mentioned why it was necessary. Doesn't mean I have to like it. My only real criticism of the book comes from the the readers saying the teens don't ""act"" like real teens. I know 14 year old kids who read this and connected with the teenagers. I think most teenagers do sound like Hazel and Gus... internally... and until you're a high schooler faced with death every friggin' day, I really can't see how you would know what they should act like. Not to mention, I don't know about you, but I know a LOT of teenagers. Upwards of 2000. They're a lot more intelligent and thought-provoking than most adults remember. I just hate the double standard -- when a piece of work makes teenagers sound unintelligent, then we're not giving them something to look up too. But when a book comes along that might be a little above a teenager's head with a healthy outlook on life, people berate it for not being realistic enough. Shut up already and enjoy the message.<br/><br/>Oh, there is one real complaint. Gus is a horrible name, John Green. I couldn't get Cinderella's chunky little mouse out of my head.<br/><br/>I recommend this to everyone. Yes. To. Everyone. As soon as I finished it, I demanded other book-reading nerds to move it to the front of their current lists. I says to them, I said ""What are you reading?"" And before they could finish a sentence I said, ""No, stop it. Don't. As soon as you finish that book, which it better be good, give it to me to read and you start reading TFIOS."" And then they'd give me some horrible excuse about putting it off for the summer or a trip or a time when they could handle it. To which I replied, with a firm slap on the desk or counter, ""Heck, no you won't. Read it. Curl up in the corner and cry and finish it!"" Most everyone has read it by now, but if you're still looking for a reason to do it --- DO IT.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Okay . . . so, here's the thing:<br/><br/>Do you want characters you can believe in and like?<br/><br/>Do you want a touching story that can make you laugh and cry?<br/><br/>Do you want INCREDIBLE dialogue?<br/><br/>Do you want a romance that is so wonderful and wonderfully sad all at once?<br/><br/>Do you want a to read a book by a stellar author?<br/><br/>Do you want all of that without ANY fantastical or magical elements? Yeah . . . well, I don't usually go for books that don't have this last one, but I am sooo happy I picked up The Fault in Our Stars.<br/><br/>This book was very highly recommended by one of my editors. I have a lot of respect for her book choices so I decided to give it a try even though it is out of my normal fantasy choices. This book does not disappoint. I absolutely LOVE Augustus and Hazel's way of conversing, and there was a really refreshing and unique voice that John Green used in telling this bittersweet story.<br/><br/>I finished up this book as I sat at my first con as a published author, quietly hunkered down behind my author table to read during every second I could steal (and, Mr. Green, I most likely could have sold more books if I had been concentrating on what I was there to do instead of reading your most excellent book. Just sayin'). An author across from me told me she couldn't believe I could read it in public without crying, how wonderful she thought it was, and, as a high school English teacher, how she wished she could teach this one. I had MANY young ladies stop and gush to me about how amazing the book was (yep, Mr. Green, I took full advantage of those moments to try to sell my own book to those young ladies).<br/><br/>So, do I recommend this book? Without hesitation. Just be sure to have a box of tissue handy and, if you're old enough, a bottle of wine. I happen to be more than old enough.<br/><br/>Go . . . buy it . . . read it . . . and, enjoy.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RGRLV8NQTC4QD?ASIN=014242417X	I can't get enough	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Let me begin by explaining this book has changed my entire philosophy on reading. I am not a reader - I have never been a reader. This is a fact that has caused great frustration to my family as they have tried to convince me to pick up books since I was a child with little success. I'm certainly capable of reading and even concentrated in English in college as I love writing and literary analysis, but something about actually reading a book has never appealed to me. That's not to say I haven't enjoyed reading some books, but I've just never quite understood why so many people can find them so profoundly life changing. And then I picked up The Fault in Our Stars.<br/><br/>I picked up this book on a whim. I decided I had free time and so I may as well make an attempt to read something. The plot summary appealed to me and so I grabbed The Fault in Our Stars. I was pretty immediately hooked.<br/><br/>Green's writing is positively exquisite. This is the type of book that SHOULD be placed in the hands of teens because he tells a story that they can relate to but does not dumb anything down for them. The language is rich, the characters are well-developed, and the reader will undoubtedly be enamored with them by the end; even at 24, I am.<br/><br/>I noticed a number of people saying that this isn't realistic, that this is not how teenagers talk. With the exception of Kaitlyn (who Green describes as ""an extremely sophisticated twenty-five-year-old British socialite stuck inside a sixteen-year-old body"" - i.e. not meant to sound like a typical teen), I disagree. None of the characters ever felt fake to me and their way of speaking just made the already eccentric and unique characters more eccentric and unique, which was fitting. They are not meant to be the perfect depiction of teenagers; they are meant to be flawed (even Hazel and Augustus point out their hamartia). The language that's used by Augustus and Hazel is just another part of who they are.<br/><br/>This book did, of course, make me cry - but not as much as some others that I've read and actually less than I anticipated. Certainly, The Fault in Our Stars is worth shedding more than a few tears for, but more than anything, it got me thinking. About life, about oblivion, about heartbreak, and in the choices we make (even when those choices hurt you). I think these thoughts are more important than the tears I shed and those I didn't shed. Still, Green is an absolute master at making you FEEL. There were times while reading this book that I was literally laughing out loud while crying and I don't know how anyone else could make the word ""okay"" turn into the most romantic word in the world.<br/><br/>I'm already trying to choose which of Green's books to pick up next. Considering I've never been a reader and average maybe a book every six months, max, this is a major feat for me. The Fault in Our Stars made a reader out of me. It made me feel in the way that almost no books ever do. It made me fall in love with a fictional romance between two teenagers and want it to never end. It made me laugh, cry, and think.<br/><br/>I truly believe this is a book worth reading and I highly recommend it to anyone who thinks they need the wisdom of an Augustus Waters and a Hazel Grace in their life.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RTVP3V7SDXUV8?ASIN=014242417X	Utterly incredible	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Okay. So. Aside from The Fault In Our Stars, I have not read anything by John Green. I see what a dumb decision that was now. After reading this amazing work of literature, I feel like running to the bookstore (even though it's midnight here) and buying everything else he's ever written.<br/><br/>I have this thing set up here on Goodreads called a '2012 Reading Challenge'. This year, I decided to try and read 60 books, because last year I read 55. Now, I really want to complete said challenge. It gives me a nice feeling of accomplishment. The reason I mention this is because, sometimes, when I read a book, I'm counting the pages till it's over so I can move onto the next one and be closer to fulfilling my goal.<br/><br/>But sometimes, I find a book that I just don't want to end. I want it to go on forever and ever; screw the reading challenge. I'm just gonna sit here and read The Fault In Our Stars for the rest of 2012. This was how I felt after completing the novel.<br/><br/>I cried on and off during the book. I also laughed. Sometimes I laughed while I was crying. It was weird. But anyway, I love it when I read something that touches me so deeply. In my opinion, if a book brings out strong emotions in you, it must be good on some level. The humor and the sadness are mixed together so well - I believe Marcus Zusak had it right when he said ""you laugh, you cry, and then you come back for more"".<br/><br/>The characters were quirky and they were fun. I adored Augustus and Hazel. And Isacc,too. Can't forget about him.<br/><br/>All in all, even though it's still pretty early in the year, I have the distinct feeling that this book will be among my top five favorites of 2012. I can only hope that I find another book soon that lives up to the awesomeness of this one, because, at this very moment, I feel I may be underwhelmed by anything else.<br/><br/>The Fault In Our Stars is a solid five star book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1JDQH2FWZAJVA?ASIN=014242417X	SPOILER ALERT: You are going to cry. A lot.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Review by #minibabe at [...]<br/><br/>The Fault in Our Stars is the newest book John Green has written and was the first one that I had read. It had been circulating through my high school like the plague and everybody was raving about how spectacular it was, so I thought I'd give it a go. In the beginning of the book you're introduced to Hazel, the protagonist of the novel, who sets the mood to the average teenaged mind set. Everything is boring as hell (yes, we do think this quite often). But there is something different about Hazel; she is sixteen years old and she has Thyroid cancer in her lungs. This basically means her lungs fail at being lungs and she has to carry an oxygen tank wherever she goes. Hazel's mother believes Hazel to be depressed since she spends %60 of her life laying in bed and doing nothing and the other %40 thinking about death. Her doctor agrees which results in her medication being adjusted and having to go to a cancer support group. During one of the cancer support group meetings she meets Augustus Waters, the incredibly good looking ex-basketball player and amputee. At first she doesn't want to pursue a relationship with him because she wants to hurt the least amount of people as possible with her inevitable death. Hazel eventually gives in and a beautiful love story unfolds.<br/><br/>SPOILER ALERT: You are going to cry. A lot.<br/><br/>I knew I was going to cry because everyone who read it told me they cried but I didn't expect to cry as much as I did. The worst part was I was currently 30,000 ft. in the air on an airplane sitting next a stranger when I started crying. Not fun. Anyways let's get back to the book, shall we?<br/><br/>This book can be a life changer if you make it which honestly you should because the way that Hazel sees things is so different than anything I've seen. Her way of thinking is quirky at times and almost philosophical at others. One of the best things about this novel is that it gets you thinking about a lot of things. It gets you thinking about life, death, human nature, hope and love. My favorite kinds of novels are the ones that change the way I see the world and I can honestly say this one absolutely did.<br/><br/>The writing style of this book is easy to follow and comical at many different points. Also I would like to applaud Mr. Green for this is the first book of his that is written in a girl's perspective and he nailed it.<br/><br/>All in all, this book was a literary masterpiece in my opinion. I would definitely recommend to teens and adults as a must read. Any of John Greens books are a must read.<br/><br/>I hope you enjoyed my very first book review and don't forget to be awesome.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R8FE8ORG9HT50?ASIN=014242417X	Utterly moving	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I was skeptical about reading this novel, because generally I find it hard to relate to 'teenager' books. Firstly, this is not a 'teen' book, although it is good for teenagers/young adults to read as well. I decided to read it because I loved the title. It is inspired by Shakespeare's words in Julius-Cesar (acknowledged by the author),""The fault, dear Brutus is not in our stars, but in ourselves."" It is a beautifully written story of a seventeen year old girl Hazel, battling cancer.  The strength of this novel lies not only in the author's capability of instilling life into his characters, but also creating happiness despite the pathos that underlies the plot. As an oncologist, I also applaud John Green's deep understanding of the many levels of pain that cancer brings, and the different kinds of strength we surprisingly find in its victims. This book made me laugh, made me cry, kept me awake. It was light and easy to read while being deeply philosophical about life, death and love.<br/>My favorite quotes are:<br/>About love,""As he read, I fell in love the way you fall asleep: slowly and then all at once.""<br/><br/>About cancer:""My dad understood my cancer the way I did: in the vague and incomplete way people understand electrical circuits and ocean tides. But my mom knew more about differentiated thyroid carcinoma in adolescents than most oncologists.""<br/><br/>(Edited to avoid spoilers)""Some war. What am I at war with? My cancer. And what is my cancer? My cancer is me....It is a civil war..with a predetermined winner.""<br/><br/>""Even cancer isn't a bad guy, really. Cancer is just trying to stay alive.""<br/><br/>About loss,""Grief doesn't change you. It reveals you.""<br/><br/>The acclaim this book has won is well-deserved.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3RF4HE8MY77WJ?ASIN=014242417X	Have the tissues ready!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I found this book so emotional that it took me a good week to pick up another book which is very unlike me, and it's taken me 2 weeks to feel ready to actually put some thoughts about it in writing.  I tossed up whether to read this book so many times last year when it came out as I saw nothing but stellar reviews constantly throughout 2012, but the topic of cancer is such a personal one for me having lost my mum to cancer at the end of 2010 that I wasn't sure if I could really handle it.  When I saw that Penguin Australia had it up in Netgalley for review I decided that I would take the plunge and give it ago and what a wonderful, albeit difficult read it ended up being.<br/><br/>What I loved most about this book was how multi faceted it was while at the same time really being very simple.  The meat and bones of this book is most definitely a romance between 2 teens, though there are all these wonderful layers that are just subtlety woven in about death and dying, parenting and families, the realities of illness, how reading can affect one so personally - the list just goes on.  Most likely because I am a mother and I am also pregnant and hormonal I found some of the scenes Hazel has with her mum really hard to read.  There was one part where Hazel is describing when she was so very close to dying at 14, where her parents are there waiting to say goodbye and she overhears her parents talking and her mother starts crying saying ""she wasn't a mother anymore"". This had me in a pool of tears in moments, and that to me is how to sum up the very essence of this book - so many beautiful simple moments that are just so emotionally driven, reading it was honestly exhausting!<br/><br/>The characters of Hazel and Augustus are both lovely and while I felt that the banter between the 2 of them was perhaps a little too adult or perhaps a bit staged and melodramatic it still worked as these aren't your run of the mill teenagers with long lives ahead of them. I was impressed with the way the author managed to pull of a female protagonist she was well done, not over the top and really incredibly strong considering all she had faced in her short life so far.<br/><br/>For all that this is a pretty depressing topic it is handled really well without glossing over the ugliness of illness.  I read this over 2 nights and found it difficult to put down or stop thinking about.  While this isn't a book I would recommend to everyone - too many of my friends are young mums and I don't think this is really a middle of the night feeding type book, I do think that if you are after something that will make you laugh, cry, smile and most importantly think that this is a fantastic book to read.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I forgot how I came to know this book- maybe it was suggested from a friend of mine or maybe I found it in the internet but it doesn't matter anymore because to whoever that gave me the idea to buy this book, I can really say thank you!  Thank you for letting me meet Hazel and Augustus' tragic love story in Indianopolis. Thank you for bringing me into the world of Cancer Support Group.<br/><br/>  This book, with a colorful cover and a sad title is ironic.( You won't know where the title is from until you'll read the book and I have no plans of telling you. :D)<br/><br/>  It is devasting, heart-breaking, tear-jerking yet funny at the same time..<br/><br/>  Hazel Grace, a cancer survivor, or a cancer-bearing but tumor-shranked or whatever you call her,  shows the courage of a girl that doesn't have cancer even when she's connected to an oxygen tank for more than 2 years of her life. She's a strong girl that holds tears and she's witty and intelligent. AND she doesn't believe in the afterlife and the supreme God.<br/><br/>  Augustus Waters, a physically strong man with his one leg natural and the other one prosthetic but a holding-back-cancer one. He is the most capable man in their trio, with Hazel and his bestfriend Isaac, who is blind due to cancer, too.  AND Augustus is funny and he believes in the afterlife and God.<br/><br/>  ( The main narrator in the book is Hazel. Everything was her point of view so we don't know what's happening in Augustus' life unless Augustus will tell her or they are together. )<br/><br/>  The way they were connected by one special book, Hazel introduced to Augustus, is cute.<br/><br/>  The way John Green wrote this book as if he was in the part of a cancer patient was acceptable, with all the facts in it. And i like the part where he makes up names for medicines. We, the readers in turn would really feel the pain, the madness, the hopes, the hopelessness, the struggles, and even the gasping for air or throwing up that the characters are feeling. I give him 5 stars for that!<br/><br/>  What I also love about this book is that you can get many lessons from it and quotes.<br/><br/>  It shows us how the characters inspite of their illness can throw back to each other jokes about thier illness. This shows us positivy. EXELSIOR! This is what makes the book funny.<br/>  It shows us how to feel when someone we love is die-ng or dying. It pains me a lot. I cried.  Or I think show us how to feel when we are on their shoes---How to feel like you're dying and you can't do anything about it. I cried.<br/><br/>  While reading the book, I asked myself because I was afraid.-<br/>  "" What if that happens to me?<br/>  ""What if I'm dying?""<br/>  ""Will someone cry?""<br/>  ""Will someone say to me something before i die?""<br/>  ""Do i have lots of friends?""<br/>  ""Have i lived my life how it's supposed to be? ""<br/><br/>  Overall, the book will (be warned:) break your heart. Read this book. I highly recommend this to you!<br/>  PS. BEWARE OF VAN HOUTEN!<br/><br/>  My rating: 5 STARS!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RKRBQK3QGWY98?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">When we think about ""true love"" we think of two middle aged people meeting in the perfect place, get married on the perfect date, have perfect children, and living happily ever after.  Sometimes love doesn't work out that way.  Sometimes love happens between two people who do not know the full meaning of love yet.  Two people who do not expect to love and get it back; at least for the time being.  It's funny how one single unfortunate, hurtful event and life experience can bring two different people together and spark a relationship that is beyond true love.  John Green captures this reality perfectly in The Fault in our Stars.<br/> The story is about a girl named Hazel Graze Lancaster, 16, who has stage 4 thyroid cancer, and Augustus Waters, 17, who has Osteosarcoma.  They meet in a group session one day and their relationship escalates from there on out.  They both fall in love with each other and never leave each other's side. When that day comes (in the end of the novel) when life seems to shatter for Hazel, she comes to the reality that she is going to be living with cancer.  She realizes that she is happy with what she has done in her life, and would never do anything different.<br/> Cancer is an important issue in this world today.  We see people becoming diagnosed with the hundreds of different types, and most not making it out alive.  We mourn for those souls.  The patients however, look at life a totally different way, and John Green captures these realities and issues just perfectly.  Living with the cancer is just one upon dozens of the realities these cancer patients face.  Hazel never takes for granted anything in her life and always thanks her parents for what they have done.  She accepts the fact that someday she will die, even if it is sooner rather than later.  She is humble and becomes even more humble through all that she witnesses and experiences.  What we witness is a completely different side of it, and wanting to help these kids while reading the book, is not something uncommon.<br/> John Green is a fabulous writer who captures the reality and important, standing issues of cancer in our lives.  The Fault in our Stars is a perfectly written, well portrayed viewpoint on life with cancer.  Through two young peoples' struggles, the unfortunate reality of cancer brings them together.  We start to see actual, true love, come out of this book and it is an absolute page turner.  You will connect with the characters, feel their pain, and you will definitely be left on your toes wanting one last look at the fault in their stars.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2C1NUWBIFGP3H?ASIN=014242417X	Good luck returning to normal life	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Being the die-hard nerdfighter that I am, I watched John write the book (and sign more pieces of paper than I ever thought possible).  Needless to say, I opened the book with overly high expectations... that were more than met.  First and foremost, The Fault in our Stars is about teenagers living with cancer, but is not a cancer book (because ""cancer books suck"").  Instead, its about enjoying life while it lasts.  John easily could have written a self-disparaging book about how life could end at any point in time and what is the point of goals (ok, being John Green and made fully of awesome, I doubt that), but instead its easy to forget that they have terminal cancer and have an expiration date on their lives.<br/>Like all of John's books, when you leave Hazel and Augustus's world, it is incredibly hard to return to yours.  The characters grow and develop and are so personal that you feel as if you are leaving your best friend when its dinner time and you have to go eat.  Going into The Fault in our Stars, you know that you are going to cry, but don't realize why.  Instead of breaking down when expected (although I did that too), for me at least, it was a constant eyes-filling-but-never-falling-over type mode.  Quick disclaimer: this is not a sad book.  It is witty, quick, funny, full of life, fantastic, wonderful, and all things positive.  No, I cried because you are just sitting there watching your best friend suffer as everyone else has given up on her and can't do anything about it.  They are the strongest person you know and the bravest.  And all you can do is help them live the remainder of their life to the fullest and try to not miss a moment.<br/>I could gush on for another thirty minutes or so, but there are another 3,000 reviews of other people doing that.  I could write a book synopsis, but that's in the book description.  The moral of this story is that I just have a need to share my love with the world and this is how it is happening.  On that note, enjoy, come fangirl with me, and DFTBA.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R36E53QO0MF0PC?ASIN=014242417X	It is always a good thing to find a book that makes you grateful	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">It's a rare thing to finish reading a book and to feel like you should thank the author. I've felt this several times with Terry Pratchett, on a few occasions with Neil Gaiman, and once or twice with others. I got to feel that and other emotions today, upon finishing John Green's The Fault In Our Stars.<br/>Now, let me be perfectly clear: this is a sad book. It is about two kids with cancer who fall in love, and as they are teenagers and as they have cancer, it is unlikely to resolve with a miracle cure and everyone hugging at the end with bones unriddled with a disease made up of them.<br/>Death is ever present in the book, but it avoids nihilism. The sadness can only come from people not giving in, because of course there can be no real sadness if one just lays down and dies. Forfeiting life is forfeiting emotion, and this too is a huge part of the book.<br/>Hazel Grace, our protagonist with her cannula O2 tank at the ready, is possessed by a burden whose weight does not drag down, but shoves forward. The descent of her life towards its inevitable end is, though somehow not hastened, given momentum by the press of all persons who have come before her. By her own assertion, to be dead is to no longer have the option of life and all the experiences, good and bad, that living entails. As such, Hazel Grace knows she must continue to live for as long as she can, and live as much as she can, as a sign of respect to the billions of dead who cannot.<br/>If should feel a power outside yourself compelling you, to have it shove you in one direction or another, it is always best to choose a power that pushes forward rather than back or down or sideways. Hazel Grace finds living overwhelming, but does so anyway because the alternative is not only undesirable to the individual, but disrespectful to all those who don't have the free choice to go back and forth between the states of living and nonliving.<br/>In short, amazing book, short but perfect in its shortness because - like Portal - it gets its point across and then leaves you to do your thinking thing. If you can take the sadness - I point that out because the romance is amazingly not retch inducing in the slightest - read this. And if you can't take the sadness, then maybe you should read it anyway, because that is sort of the point, isn't it?</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2XCH3RNGWCTXN?ASIN=014242417X	I bow to John Green's awesomeness!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars...three days after closing the book. My greatest regret at this moment is that it took me so long to read it. I have had it sitting on my shelf for nearly a year. I had to steel myself to read it because I knew it was a ""kids with cancer book"". No, I knew it was a KIDS WHO DIE OF CANCER book. I have a kid, and I know kids with cancer. See my problem? Days ago I forced myself to read the first two chapters. I was OK. The next night? I fell in love with the main characters, Hazel and Augustus. These were NOT kids dying of cancer. These were kids trying to squeeze every minute of life they had remaining out of their early termination notice. These kids were REAL. They were funny, angry, realistic, day-dreaming, pain-in-the-you-know-where teens LIVING in that flash in the pan moment between birth and death. I read everything but the last 100 pages. When you read it, you'll know why...and you really should read it. Again, I had to rally my forces. The last 100 pages? I cried an ocean. Not because John Green was yanking my chain or because I cry over puppy chow commercials (okay, sometimes), but again because these voices were real, and heartbreaking, and somehow amazingly hopeful. That book is now sitting on my shelf waiting on my 10-year-old to read it in a few years, when she and I are ready to share it and cry another ocean. This is YA literature at its best as far as I am concerned. I am a lifetime member of the John Green fan club even if he never writes another thing except cereal box ingredients. *News Flash: Today, our literacy coach called me on the phone to tell me one of her students just finished reading TFIOS, walked up to her and said, ""I think I need to go somewhere and take a minute."" You too will need a minute...or hours or days...to recover. Get those Kleenex out. You have been warned!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3RMH66RT3GDP1?ASIN=014242417X	Wow. This is THE Book That Changed My Life.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Steph's Review:<br/>Words cannot describe how much I loved this book. I have never cried so much in a long time, and nothing is even close to how heart-wrenching this book is. It is just Flat. Out. Amazing. As my friend Angie would describe it, it was just...beautiful. This book is a lot different from books I usually read, probably because of it's realism. Cancer exists, and right now we can't do anything to stop it. The Fault In Our Stars is very touching, and within the span of it's pages, John Green was able to fully connect his characters and world to me as if they'd been there my entire life. I actually wasn't expecting this to be as good as it was, but I listened to the awards and raves it got and gave it a shot. I had no regrets that I started read this from the very first chapter.<br/><br/>At just 13 years old, Hazel Grace was diagnosed with thyroid cancer which metastasized to her lungs. By some miracle, a cancer-treating drug perceived to ineffective became her savior, and halted the growth of any new tumors in her body. However, Hazel is and will be tethered to an oxygen tank for the rest of her life, because her lungs simply won't be ""good lungs"" anymore. She's practically given up. It's not exactly a good situation, because anything ""normal"" for kids her age is now out of her reach, or so she believes.<br/>During a fateful meeting at the Cancer Support Group, Augustus Waters barrels into her life. He's hot, one legged, funny, and hopeful. Cancer-free and in remission, Augustus Waters is what cancer patients hope to be one day. With his sweet talk, he gets right into Hazel's nerves and shows her that living with cancer doesn't take away who you are. You just have to make the time meant for you your own infinite, your type of forever.<br/><br/>John Green, amazingly, was able to put so much humor into this book despite it's serious topic. I don't even know how many times I LOL'd while I was reading it, and contrary to my personal belief, he can write romance. Augustus is such a sweetheart, and he's pretty darn arrogant and hilarious. I love him, enough said. He's a bright highlight, both to Hazel and to The Fault itself. Despite his near flippant attitude, he is one of the wisest characters in the book, and provided more support to Hazel than her parents ever could. Hazel's first mindset is that she's just an ugly nobody, waiting to rot in a grave, but Augustus makes her feel and become someone beautiful. John Green, through this book, tells everyone that there isn't anything wrong with hope, and it's one of the strongest feelings a person can have.<br/><br/>Back to the crying part. While this book was happy-go-lucky for the first 2/3, a surprising twist made my whole world come crashing down like a meteor plummeting towards Earth. I was kind of expecting it to happen, but it was still surprising nonetheless because I didn't want it to happen, I was hoping it wouldn't. The ending of The Fault was as heartbreaking as it was heartfelt. There are so many life messages hidden between the pages that inspire you to be better. It was pretty bittersweet, but still hard to handle. I read too much paranormal stuff, when there is always a HEA. I cried at least three times within the last 100 pages, no joke. I could not get over this book for days, and me and Angie (mentioned above) blubbered over this book for a while. A long while. I once had to write an essay for school on the book that most changed my life and I chose to write it on Kira-Kira by Cynthia Kodohata. If I had to rewrite that essay today, The Fault In Our Stars would have been my top choice instead. This is definitely a must read for adults and teens both.<br/><br/>--Steph @ A Walk on Words</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R55TF2REPGPVV?ASIN=014242417X	Against all odds, it succeeds brilliantly	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">There's basically no way to tell people what The Fault In Our Stars is about without it sounding like the worst book ever written. A YA novel about a young girl with terminal cancer who falls in love with a cancer survivor she meets in a support group? That sounds like the kind of treacly pap you might expect from Lifetime or Nicolas Sparks, not a critically acclaimed bestseller from John Green, a widely beloved YA author. And yet, ask anyone who's read it, and they'll tell you that this isn't sentimental, manipulative garbage; this is thoughtful, moving, compelling stuff. And now that I've read it, you can add me to that chorus; The Fault In Our Stars is one of the finest YA books I've ever read, and just a magnificent book, period. But how on Earth does Green avoid this turning into the book we all dread it could be? Much of that has to be chalked up to his main character/narrator Hazel, whose voice is equal parts world-weariness, cynical humor, acceptance of death, quick wit, word lover, and pure teenage girl. Hazel's a wonderful creation, and she's far from the angelic, lesson-conveying manic pixie dream girl that inhabits so many Nicholas Sparks books; instead, she's a rich and wonderful person who has her own issues, her own dreams, her own goals, and her own inimitable voice. The same goes pretty much across the board; there's not a character that even dips their toes into the sea of cliche - these are all rich, complicated characters who come to life thanks to Green's rich prose. And as if great characters and excellent prose aren't enough, The Fault In Our Stars is genuinely, profoundly moving and affecting. It dodges easy, pat answers about death and mortality, avoids the easy routes at all times, and dodges cheap sentimentality; and still, for all that, when it wants to hit you hard, it's going to, plain and simple. Part beautiful coming-of-age story, part teen romance, part meditation on mortality, part hilariously funny dialogue work, The Fault In Our Stars deserves every bit of acclaim it's gotten and then some. It made me laugh, it made me think, and yes, it made me cry, cliched though that sentence sounds. It's a magnificent book, and I'm better off for having read it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RAUUCDJXP9LQW?ASIN=014242417X	Top Shelf	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This and more reviews available at [...]<br/><br/>At one point I had to pause and wanted to hide my book in the linen closet.  I knew what was going to happen next.  John Green novels don't let on that things are going to end with the lovely couple running through a field of posies, into the sunset.  If you've read ""Looking for Alaska"", you know what you're in for; the emotional roller coaster of life and death... reality. We all know our existence will be extinguished, however, the majority of us don't know how, unless, you have some kind of kick-ass fortuneteller.  Still, is it something you want to know?  How your life is going to end.  ""The Fault in Our Stars"" (or TFIOS as the kids are calling it) faces this unknown, final chapter head on.  Hard enough for adults, John Green's novel depicts a teen's perspective in facing terminal illness.  The illness however takes a backseat to the living.  How does one live the life they are dealt, even if it sucks?<br/><br/>Great One-liners/Quotes:<br/>""I'm in love with you, and I'm not in the business of denying myself the simple pleasure of saying true things. I'm in love with you, and I know that love is just a shout into the void, and that oblivion is inevitable, and that we're all doomed and that there will come a day when all our labor has been returned to dust, and I know the sun will swallow the only earth we'll ever have, and I am in love with you.""<br/>Augustus Waters<br/><br/>""After I finished, there was quite a long period of silence as I watched a smile spread all the way across Augustus's face - not the little crooked smile of the boy trying to be sexy while he stared at me, but this real smile, too big for his face. ""Goddamn,"" Augustus said quietly.  ""Aren't you something else.""<br/>Hazel Grace Lancaster (really Gus)<br/>After it was over, Peter Van Houten looked at us expectantly, his little eyes as wide as they could get.  ""Yeah?"" he asked.  ""Yeah?""<br/>Peter Van Houten<br/><br/>I said, ""I'm sorry, sir, but we don't speak Swedish.""<br/>""Well, of course you don't.  Neither do I.  Who the hell speaks Swedish?

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3MZEQTK057O4N?ASIN=014242417X	Devastatingly beautiful	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Disclaimer: This review may contain a few spoilers. The biggest spoiler is acknowledged as ""SPOILER ALERT.""<br/><br/>Hazel is a sixteen year old girl who has terminal cancer. Even though she is sick, and has to walk around with an oxygen tank, she doesn't let the cancer define her. Since she was homeschooled, Hazel has already taken, and passed, the GED and is enrolled in college literature classes. Hazel's favorite book is An Imperial Affliction, by Peter Van Houten, and loves to read poetry, but not write it.<br/><br/>Lacking a social life, besides attending college classes, Hazel's parents urge her to go to a cancer support group held at a local church. At the support group, she meets Augustus, former high school basketball player whose cancer is in remission. Gus, as he is so often called, is attending a meeting with his friend, Isaac, who is about to have eye surgery, which will result in blindness.<br/><br/>Hazel and Augustus form a bond that can only be found within a true friendship. They read each other's favorite books, play video games together, and speak to each other in metaphors. Although Hazel has more than friendship feelings for Gus, she is scared to get close to him because she doesn't want to hurt him with her illness. Gus, on the other hand, has been hurt before and is willing to take the risk because he cares so deeply about Hazel. Together, they laugh, cry, and fill each other's lives with companionship.<br/><br/>The Fault in Our Stars by John Green is devastatingly beautiful. Even though cancer is as far from a funny subject as it can get, John Green makes it seem as if it's just another fact of life, and makes jokes that don't seem awkward or insensitive. The true love and friendship found within the characters of this novel are a rare find. I have read many fictional books about cancer, but this one is different, this one is special. Cancer is scary: for those who have it, had it, or watched someone struggle through it. John Green paints a real picture, he doesn't sugar-coat it. Not only was he able to create such an exceptional story-line for Hazel and Augustus, he was also able to put a story within a story by incorporating An Imperial Affliction, by Peter Van Houten, into so many aspects of this book.<br/><br/>An Imperial Affliction, Hazel's favorite book, is not a real book; I know this because I googled it. In the made-up novel, Anna, the main character, is diagnosed with a rare blood disease. Her mother meets a Dutch man who says that he can help Anna with a special cancer treatment. Not only does he promise to help Anna, but her mother also falls in love with him. The novel ends in the middle of the sentence, leaving the reader (especially Hazel) angry and confused.<br/><br/>Hazel considers Peter Van Houten one of her best friends, even though they have never met, because she thinks he knows what death is like, even though he hasn't died yet. I love how Hazel is so invested in this story and its characters.  I also love that Augustus begins to share her passion for the story and together they try to find out what happens to Anna's mother, the man her mother loves, and Anna's hamster. I'm not going to lie, I am kind of disappointed that I can't read this novel, it sounds so inspirational.<br/><br/>SPOILER ALERT: My favorite part of  The Fault in Our Stars is when Hazel and Gus go to Amsterdam together, with the use of his wish,  to meet Peter Van Houten, but I hate that he is a rude, old man. I love that they go on a date and drink champagne and are able to experience young love the way it's meant to be experienced. I also love that they visit the Anne Frank House, a place on my bucket list, where they share their first kiss.<br/><br/>Just as Hazel was upset with the ending of the An Imperial Affliction, I was also upset with the ending of The Fault in Our Stars. I don't know what it is with me lately, but books have been pissing me off when they end. Just like Hazel, I want more. I was also (and still am) upset about the ending of The Diary of Anne Frank (yes, I knew she was going to die, but I didn't know it was going to just END.) But, as I have come to learn, if a book leaves you wanting more, then the author must have done a good job (except in Anne Frank's case, it just wasn't her fault, and I'm sure she wishes she could have given us more.) John Green did better than good when he wrote The Fault in Our Stars, he did great.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2PIDHCEQT5R1T?ASIN=014242417X	My New Favorite Book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars is, without a doubt, now one of my most favorite books. It's told from the perspective of a snarky, sarcastic girl who loves to make self-deprecating jokes about the fact that she has cancer. Her personality is awesome... I totally wish that I could be her. Then she meets this gorgeous guy at a support group who is in remission, and they become really good friends and bond over their mutual love of novels and hilariously inappropriate humor.<br/><br/>I was very surprised about where the book went from there. The quirkiness of the characters' personalities was maintained throughout the book, but there were parts that I read with tears streaming down my face, literally sobbing. While I'm definitely a ""cryer"" in real life and while watching movies or TV (and, embarrassingly, occasionally commercials), I can probably count on one hand the number of times that I've cried while reading a book. For some reason, it just barely ever happens with me. And it's never happened like this before. I mean, I was crying. The book was sad at points, but mostly I think that it just really resonated with me.<br/><br/>I loved the main character and was able to feel a big connection with her throughout the book. Like her, I also love novels, am an only child, and love sarcasm. I also know what it is like to have a long-lasting condition that is a huge part of your life. When she was describing how it's like to constantly be in pain... I felt like I was listening to myself.<br/><br/>The only thing that I could slightly criticize about this book was it's Perks of Being a Wallflower-itis. In that, the teenage characters in this novel were way more mature, smart, and witty than teenagers normally are in real life. While Perks of Being a Wallflower has no excuse (even though I still think it's an awesome book), I could almost kind of forgive John Green on this one. Maybe the characters were more mature because of their cancertastic-ness? Either way, I don't think that it took away from the book.<br/><br/>I highly recommend reading this book. Five out of five stars, for sure.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R78H2BSFB0BZM?ASIN=014242417X	A cancer book that isn't about cancer	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Yeah sure, this is a cancer book, but, it's not about cancer. It's about strength and fun and books. It's about how a novel can transform you and sometimes amazing books are written by terrible people (looking at you OSC). It's about a girl named Hazel and a boy named Augustus and all the people that care about them. It's about blind and one-legged teens egging a car. It's about finding happiness where you can. It's about moving on. It's about making this day your best day.<br/><br/>""My thoughts are stars I can't fathom into constellations."" That's a pretty good review for this book right there...<br/><br/>Seriously though, this was such a great book. So many lines that just kick you right in the gut. It's surprising  because this book is really funny too. So you'll be reading along, chuckling at the banter between the characters and then all of a sudden BAM! This s*** just got serious. It totally works though, because that's how lots of people deal with hard things. They wrap it up into something funny and more manageable.<br/><br/>Hazel was a great character. She just felt so real and honest. I loved how she was addicted to a novel. I've never been that obsessed with one novel before (yet) and it just seems amazing and wonderful. The only problem is this novel is fictional and now I want to read it and I can't. Fairly disappointing  but I guess less disappointing than if I read it and it was awful. Back to Hazel though, it was great having her be our main eyes and ears and brain for this story. She was a really honest narrator and she picked some pretty great people to hang around with. She acted real with her parents too. Not all ""I hate you!"" or ""We're BFFs for LIFE!"" but a nice mix in-between. It was easy to like Hazel, because she was nice person all around.<br/><br/>I feel like this review needs to mention how amazing Isaac is. The Fault in Our Stars is always talked about HAZELANDAUGUSTUS!!!! which is fine, but ISAAC too. He lost his eyes to cancer and he was worried about his love life. He was just a really great character too and I wished he was in the novel a bit more. He really changed the outlook of the novel. He was so spirited that it didn't make his situation seem utterly depressing. I mean it still completely sucks having eye cancer I imagine, but he made himself into a person that could get past that and live life. Although, I have no idea what was going on with him internally this whole time, maybe he was miserable...secretly.<br/><br/>Now Augustus. For how much charm he seemed to exuded, he also seemed incredibly awkward. He definitely tried way too hard a lot of the time. I have to agree with Hazel, that when he let all that slide away he was a much more awesome person. He was much more love-able without all that stuffy charm.<br/><br/>The last few sentences of this novel were a bit flat. I felt like there should have been something more EPIC. But, life is a bit flat I guess.<br/><br/>The last third of this book had me flailing my arms around much like a giant squid of anger. Life is so unfair. I know nobody ever said it was fair and it's childish(hopeful) to think that it is, but still. I mean WHY!? It just so awful that good people have to suffer while there are terrible, terrible people out there who get to live happy lives doing all their terrible things. They should be the one-eyed, one-legged, oxygen bearers of this world, not teens who are good people.<br/>""It's not fair,"" I said. ""It's just so goddamned unfair.""<br/>""The world,"" he said, ""is not a wish granting factory,""<br/><br/>So yes, please read this book. When you get to the end throw this book. Smash this book, tear the pages from this book to wipe your face with. Afterwards buy a new book and place it on your shelf for next time.<br/><br/>First Line:<br/>""Late in the winter of my seventeenth year, my mother decided I was depressed, presumably because I rarely left the house and spent quite a lot of time in bed, read the same book over and over, ate infrequently, and devoted quite a bit of my abundant free time to thinking about death.""<br/><br/>Favorite Lines:<br/>""His every syllable flirted.""<br/><br/>""In the end, we both lost. So it goes.""<br/><br/>""Augustus and I were together in the Improbably Creatures Club: us and the duck-billed platypuses.""<br/><br/>""It seemed like forever ago, like we'd had this brief but still infinite forever.""<br/><br/>""I owed a debt to the universe that only my attention could repay, and also that I owed a debt to everybody who didn't get to be a person anymore and everyone who hadn't gotten to be a person yet.""</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RCULCHYU676OV?ASIN=014242417X	There is a #1 new York times bestseller on this, and I think I know why	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I actually had a rough time with this book: not reading it, but choosing to, since this is my 100th book review (yay!), and I knew it has to be something very special. I actually read one of the John Green's Other books, Looking for Alaska, and I actually could form a resemblance between the two books. 1. There is a main character 2. He/she meets a friend 3. He/she gets a new, hopeful life 4. The friend dies 5. Massive shock period 6. Recover<br/><br/>Not all the book might follow this trend, but I think it is fine if they do, since it teaches us of loss and grief, and the recovery, and friendships. And hey? Without pain, how could we enjoy?<br/><br/>This book features a girl with a serious lung cancer that would have taken her life away by filling her chests with fluids, but miraculously lives, and now stays in support of an oxygen tank. She missed 3 years of her teenage life by cancer, and now gets private (?) educations. However one day, she meets a boy in a support group, who changes her life.<br/><br/>It is the classic love story, romance through the times of despair, and it actually has one of those ""aww[...]"" moments where, as they still know that one of them could die by cancer, forms a strong bond between each other to the point of nearly inseparable.<br/><br/>The book themes around the two lovers, but also around this book, ""An imperial affliction"" (not a real book), which features as the girl's favorite book. It talks about a girl with a cancer, who ends up dying, and in the course of her story, talks about life, death, cancer, and family.<br/><br/>If you read Looking for Alaska, then you defiantly should read this: it is fun, romantic, and exciting. It might give us the perspective of cancer, and how hard it will be to be in a 24 hour battle every day with your own body.<br/><br/>I enjoyed reading it, and although it might not go into the ""aftermaths"" as serious as  Looking for Alaska, but it is still great, and the story finishes off clean, like most of the readers will like. 5 stars!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1C5B9TQVUVLS8?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault In Our Stars is a life changing book!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">If you are ready to go on a rollercoaster of emotions were you often like to laugh, shed a tear or two and feel in love, why not experience all; The Fault In Our Stars is the best rollercoaster you can be on.<br/><br/>In the book The Fault In Our Stars, Hazel who is a sixteen years old has terminal cancer and lives her life as a side effect until Augustus, her new social group friend, comes to change her way of life a little. Hazel, as she first starts to experience love, doesn't want to be a ""grenade"" to Augustus and her parents because she thinks she knows she is going to die and leave them all with a broken heart. But of course love is not a manageable thing when we are talking about a young gentleman and parents who really care.<br/><br/>The author John Green does an excellent job at conveying an emotional tone where you are transported into amazing experiences. This is because there are often the times were the book is funny, romantic and tragic. As John Green says, ""Books belong to their readers,"" for me the theme was that things happen unjustly but it is up to you to turn the bad luck around and make your life worth living, this is even part of the quote used for the title of the book: ""The fault in our stars"" by Julius Caesar, were (even though it said that the fault is not in our stars but in ourselves) it is slightly incorrect because cancer for Hazel and Augustus was not their choice, it was not their fault.<br/><br/>The plot of this story is very interesting and full of plot twists. It was not predictable for the same reason that whatever you think may happen does not end up happening, which enables this book to be majorly emotional. In one of the scenes Hazel wants to meet the author of An Imperial Affliction, her favorite book, and Peter (the author) comes out to being totally unpredictable.<br/><br/>The character Hazel Grace is a very unique and complex character. In the book Hazel can be very fun and loose, but at the same time she knows when to be a serious person and an understandable person as well. She is unique because she is a very interesting person when getting to know her. At first you think she is just girl that feels sorry for herself because she has cancer, but she acts like a normal teen. She is finding love, and most people with cancer would not want to be with someone with cancer in fear of being hurt in the end.<br/><br/>Augustus Waters is a very unique and relatable person. He is a relatable person because he cares for his friends like I do. He treats them like they are family, like I do with my friends. He is very understanding and he listens to friends when they are in need like if they are sad, or angry with someone. He is unique because he has one leg and acts like it is nothing, and he knows when to stop joking around and to get serious. He knows how to make someone feel better when the are having problems, and he cares for their problems before he starts to care for his own problems.<br/><br/>Throughout the novel, dialogue is widely used. It helps the reader understand the character's thoughts of themselves and of each other. Even though there is a lot of dialogue being used, the author is still able to tell the story in an interesting way. He does use some figurative language but he keeps it at a minimum.<br/><br/>I never really paid attention towards what cancer people go through. This book made me feel emotional. This book teaches many things and one of them is to value my life even if i face any health problems. It will take you to experiences you will never imagine..</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R19Y2JNQV6NOT1?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault In Our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault In Our Stars is written by John Green and was published only a year ago. This book is about a sixteen year old girl, Hazel Lancaster, who has had stage four thyroid cancer since age thirteen. All she really wants to do is be a regular teenager but she knows she can never be. She has to use an oxygen tank at all times to be able to breathe properly. She is forced by her mom to go to Support Group at the local church where many other kids also attend that have cancer. While there, she meets Augustus Waters, a former basketball star who lost his right leg to Osteosarcoma, and is in remission. Hazel and Augustus spend more and more time together and she convinces him to read her favorite book, ""An Imperial Affliction."" He almost loves the book as much as she does. When their relationship deepens even more, complications with Hazel's cancer get worse and they start to feel they're drifting apart. Luckily, Augustus saved his wish from ""The Genies"" (a fictionalized version of The Make A Wish Foundation), and used the wish to take Hazel and himself to Amsterdam to meet the author of ""An Imperial Affliction"", Peter Van Houten. The trip gets postponed when Hazel gets a serious case of pneumonia. She goes through a quick recovery and then they are on their way to Amsterdam! Once they get there, they are treated to a beautiful meal, courtesy of Van Houten. But, they soon find out that Van Houten is rude and an alcoholic. He wont answer any of their questions and is very disrespectful towards them.  They realize people are not all they seem to be. They spend one more day in Amsterdam and head home. When they get back, Augustus reveals his cancer has returned. From that point on, he starts heading in a downward spiral. Hazel and Augustus know what it's like to have cancer but all they can do now is just be there for each other.<br/>  I think this book is absolutely amazing. It's a true love story of two teenagers that have been through more in their life than most people could ever imagine. I just can't comprehend what it would be like to go three years with cancer and try to be a normal teenager and actually succeed at it. Teenagers already have enough stress with high school, responsibilities, drama, and just trying to be the best you can be. When you add cancer to that mix, you would think one would just simply break down. But Hazel stays strong and that's what I like about her. This book is beautifully written and is for all you readers out there that like to laugh and cry at the same time!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3QZR89OCNHGM5?ASIN=014242417X	If I could give this more than 5 stars I would	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">If I could give this book more than 5 stars I totally would. Holy hell it was fabulous. So amazing in fact that I almost became enraged at my grandmother for interupting my reading so I could get her some much needed groceries. I did not want to put it down, I read it in 1 day. Spoiler alert, this book will make you have emotions. You will care for these characters more than any others you've read in a long long time. And you will cry, if you don't it's possible you have no soul. I sobbed/bawled my way through the last 50 pages. My eyes were on fire (thanks mascara), my hair was soggy, and I'm pretty sure I was the epitome of beauty (not!). This book made me FEEL and I haven't had a book do that in a while. I literally cannot stop thinking about this book, it's just too good.<br/><br/>I will attempt to decribe this book without giving too much away or making it sound depressing. The story follows Hazel, a sixteen year old girl with terminal cancer. Her best friends are her parents and she hasrelaxed into a routine that involves not doing much of anything. Her parents desperate to get her out of the house make her go to a cancer support group for kids and it is there that she meets Augustus. Augustus is in remission but his battle made him lose a leg. He doesn't dwell on it though, he uses his charm (and good looks) to befriend Hazel. In no time at all they're inseperable, they read the same books, help their friend Isaac get through the loss of his eyesight, and try to make the best out of being sick. I think I enjoyed this book so much because it isn't about the poor sick little cancer kid that needs to be pitied, this is the other side if the story, this is what it is really like for these kids living with cancer.

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2WC9JJB5DNVFT?ASIN=014242417X	Exquisite, if not realistic	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">John Green is a monster from the hell dimension Lacrimosa who exists only to bring soul-wracking anguish into the homes of the literate.<br/><br/>I knew within a page that this was a book about Cancer Kids, having only picked it up because I kept reading quotes from it that I wish I had written. I don't like cancer as a plot device. Cancer is writing porn, like talking about 9/11 or the Holocaust. It's too effortless, too much emotion because of the condition which frees up the author to be lazy. Once a character is described as having cancer, the reader knows someone is going to be dead in the next hundred pages and they are going to cry. Here, we have three characters, all who had or have cancer, so the odds are against this being a lighthearted romp. Green seems to be aware of the limitations of this genre when he provides the metatextual criticism of a novel his main character likes, saying, ""This isn't a cancer book, because cancer books suck."" (John Green seems to be all about winking at the reader, as when Hazel later says, ""I think you’re a pathetic alcoholic who says fancy things to get attention like a really precocious eleven-year-old and I feel super bad for you."") I figured that, understanding the genre and its tropes, I would be more or less inoculated against the worst of what he could throw at me.<br/><br/>Never have I been so wrong. I read the book straight through between panels I did at No Such Convention. I do not recall the last time I cared enough about a book - or more wanted a book to be over - than this one. Not quite halfway in, I began bawling, ""If I keep reading, someone is going to die."" Amber wanted more clarification, but I was reduced to making quiet walrus sounds and just thrust the book at her. This is something that occur several times throughout the novel.<br/><br/>Spoilers: Someone dies. This does not end the book because we have not suffered enough for John Green of Lacrimosa. Not human suffering can ever be enough.<br/><br/>My main criticism is that, despite how many times his characters mock how cancerous people behave in books and movies, every teen in this books seems to have metastasized Diablo Codyitis. These are some precocious kids, ones who toss around words like ""hamartia"" as though most teen know about tragic flaws and literary criticism. Obnoxiously precocious when it comes to one-legged bone cancer sufferer Augustus Waters, who keeps a pack of cigarettes that he does not light but will occasionally put in his mouth, using the twee logic that it is important to put the instrument of death in your mouth but not give it the power to kill you. Our poor protagonist, Hazel, was damned to fall in love with him from his introduction. And yes, the novel is a bit masturbatory, as characters pause to make sure the reader understand how special everyone is, with lines like, ""You are so busy being you that you have no idea how utterly unprecedented you are."" I didn't really mind it. This books is overall a good metaphor for what its characters are experiencing. You come to love unreal characters you know had very exact deadlines.<br/><br/>You get pretty much what you should expect out of this book. Yes, it is a bit cloyingly clever at times and things work out in a cinematic rather than realistic fashion. There should be a sticker on the front reading ""This novel brought to you by the Amsterdam Tourism Board"". As long as one doesn't expect it to closely follow the edicts of reality - as long as you accept it as its own world - it is exhaustingly enjoyable, one of the most exquisite literary experiences I have enjoyed in years. So long as you know words like ""numinous"", you may well feel the same.<br/><br/>Ideally, it should come boxed with tissues and the number of a trained and well-read crisis counselor. I was not quite the same for days afterward.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2XTFRN11SCP00?ASIN=014242417X	A Must Read For Everyone in The Universe!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">If you are familiar with John Green then you may know he is one half of Vlogbrothers, an online project with a huge fan base.  He is a New York Times Best Selling and Printz award winning author of Looking For Alaska; An Abundance of Katherines; Paper Towns; Will Grayson, Will Grayson; and most recently A Fault in Our Stars.  I must admit it took me a couple of months after hearing all the hype about John Green and A Fault in Our Stars before I finally gave it a chance.  I was a little wary of it first; thinking that it wouldn't live up to all of the hype.  I was wrong. It lived up to it all and more!<br/><br/>Green's writing style is certainly unique and different from anything I have ever read before.  He has a way with making what would be a sad and serious story into something light and humorous, while still keeping all the heartfelt moments in all the right places.  His characters are such a delight to get to know.  The two main characters, Hazel and Augustus, talk in such clever and insightful prose that you can't help but to fall in love with them.  He doesn't overdo the sarcastic remarks by the characters or go overboard with the humor, and he gets the amount of drama and sappy moments just right.<br/><br/>I could tell from the very beginning of this book that this was not like any other. It is not just a cancer book or a love story but a story about life and all aspects of it from friends, love, family, surviving and death.  It will ask the thought provoking questions such as - Will you leave a mark on this world? What will become of those you leave behind? And is love worth the pain? It will leave you thinking about it long after you have finished the book.<br/><br/>Overall I thoroughly enjoyed reading A Fault in Our Stars.  It was witty, insightful, heartfelt and such a joy to read.  I recommend it for all ages young and old.  If you're a parent you will adore this book, share it with your kids you will have something new and wonderful to bond over.  If you're a teenager you'll love talking about it with your friends. It demands to be given a chance!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RA22GUM168PMT?ASIN=014242417X	Book Review of The Fault in Our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Have you ever read a book that rips your heart out in the most excruciatingly brutal, yet beautiful way? The kind that reminds you of the fragility of life and the importance of deeply connecting with those you love? If not, then you never read The Fault in Our Stars, by John Green. As clichéd as it may sound, this book will change your life. It will fill you up with love and light, sadness and death, and make you laugh out loud at the same time. Mr. Green's writing is so intelligent, so complex and original, it will take your breath away.<br/><br/>The Fault in Our Stars is the story of Hazel, a 17 year-old girl with terminal cancer. Knowing she doesn't have long to live, and wanting to make her parents happy, she attends a support group for kids with cancer. There, she meets Augustus Waters, a character like none I've ever read before. Augustus is beautiful inside and out and speaks in an authentic yet poetic voice throughout the novel. Augustus knows that life is short, and he wants to go out in a big, dramatic way, and make a heroic impact on the world before he goes. Hazel, however, is content with being an observer of the world, noticing the nuances of behavior and relationships. She believes that loving a select few deeply is more important than loving many far and wide. The conversations between Hazel and Augustus and their friends are sophisticated and witty. You root for them throughout the story, while knowing deep down that they are very sick and miracles are in short supply.<br/><br/>The love story between Augustus and Hazel is luminous. And, although John Greene will rip your heart along the way, he somehow manages to give you the tools you need to recover from the pain. He manages to fill you up enough with hope and faith to make it through this story. Yes, The Fault in Our Stars is sad, at times heart wrenchingly so. But this book is so much more than that - it resonates deeply in your soul and makes you look at the world with a corrected lens, makes you see the importance of loving deeply. This book enables you to look at the surplus of beauty in your life and be grateful for it. Life is short, don't pass up The Fault in Our Stars.<br/>It's a book that will stay with you for a very long time.<br/><br/>~Review by The Fictionista at When Pen Met Paper</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RPD45WW5V7POX?ASIN=014242417X	Beautiful, magical Stars.  Yes, you'll cry, but you'll laugh, too	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I'll admit it.  I did not believe I would love The Fault In Our Stars.  Yes, I'd read all of the rave reviews.  But a book about kids dying of cancer?  And not only would I love this book, but it was going to make me laugh, too?  Well, this doubting Thomas is here to tell you that my answers are a very emphatic YES and YES.<br/><br/>""Cancer books suck.""  So says sixteen year-old Hazel, the wise beyond her years narrator of The Fault In Our Stars, and a cancer...victim?  No, she does not view herself as a victim.  Sufferer?  That doesn't seem quite right, either, because she's focused more on living than on the suffering that comes with cancer.  Cancer survivor?  I think she'd roll her eyes at anything that attempted to add a false feel-good tone to her certain-to-be short-lived life.  So I'll go with this - Hazel is a girl who happens to have cancer.  She views her cancer through realistic, but never bitter or self-pitying eyes.  As Hazel says, ""Even cancer isn't a bad guy really: cancer just wants to be alive.""<br/><br/>When we meet Hazel, she is attending a support group for kids with cancer.  She attends  the group to appease her parents, not herself; she views it as a major nuisance, at best.  All the talk of death, the discussions of feelings and fears - Hazel wants none of it.  But then she meets Augustus, a newcomer to the group.  He's missing a leg, but he's got looks and charm to spare, and he immediately intrigues Hazel.<br/><br/>You will be in love with Hazel before you've finished the first ten or twenty pages.  And you will root for this young couple, even though you know one or both of their lives are doomed.<br/><br/>One of the many heart-breaking aspects of this book is the suffering of her parents.  I don't have children, but I know there cannot be anything worse in this world than watching your child die.  In Hazel's case, the watching and waiting has gone on for several years.  Her father cannot participate in a discussion regarding Hazel's cancer without sobbing, and her mother has given up her own life to take care of Hazel's.  As much sympathy and love as Hazel has for them, she occasionally gets angry.  She lashes out at her mother and pleads with her to find something else to do besides taking care of a dying daughter.  After all, once Hazel is gone, what will remain for her mother?<br/><br/>OK, that was a lot of dark stuff, and I promised you some humor.  How about these two gems?<br/><br/> - Augustus expressed outrage that a 13 year-old Hazel used her ""Make a Wish"" on a trip to Disney World.  Hazel knew it was lame, but softened the blow by adding that she went to Epcot, too.<br/> - Hazel's friend, Kaitlyn, when discussing Augustus: ""I would ride that one-legged pony all the around the corral.""<br/><br/>The romance between Hazel and Augustus is one of the most beautful I've ever read.  So much so that I happily overlooked the fact that their dialogue was unlike any that I've ever heard from any teenager (or most adults, for that matter.)<br/><br/>I kept waiting and waiting for the moment that I would need tissues.  I thought I had the outcome nailed early on, based on what I thought was a subtle ""clue,"" but I was wrong.  We're pulled along to what we believe is the inevitable conclusion until the inevitable gets flipped on its head.  And yes, then it was tissue time.<br/><br/>On a personal note, I visited Amsterdam and the Anne Frank House a year and a half ago.  I climbed those same, steep narrow steps in the house that Hazel climbed, hauling her oxygen tank with her.  Everything that she described brought back intense memories.  If you get the chance to visit Amsterdam, the House is a must-see.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars by John Green<br/><br/>I am going to review this book through a fictional conversation that has some truth to it.  Just in case you didn't know, I am a high school social studies teacher who loves to read and talk about books so this conversation takes place in school.<br/><br/>Librarian Susan:  Have you read The Fault in Our Stars yet?<br/>Me:  No, Should I?<br/>Reading Teacher Sue:  (the very next day) Have you read The Fault in Our Stars yet?<br/>Me:  No. (me thinking- why do people keep talking about this book?) Have you read Looking for Alaska?  I loved it.<br/>Sue:  You really need to read it, it will change your world.<br/>Me:  OK, I will try and get it from the library.<br/><br/>A few weeks go by and I finally get the Ebook through my library app.<br/><br/>Me:  (at lunch talking to Elizabeth the English teacher) Have you read The Fault in Our Stars?<br/>Elizabeth:  Oh my, yes, it was amazing.  Augustus is my book boyfriend.  I am convinced he is one of the best male characters in literature today.<br/>Me:  I think I am in love with John Green.  He does something to my heart when I read his books that no one else does.  (This is only the second book I have read by John Green and I am already confessing my love.  This means something).<br/><br/>Elizabeth and I walk to class after lunch continuing to discuss ""the book"".  Two of my 9th grade students overhear.<br/><br/>Students:  Where are you in the book?<br/>Me:  Page 50.  I stayed up till 11pm reading, while my husband kept snoring beside me.  I can't believe I was having this awesome reading experience and he was sleeping through it.  I had to force myself to stop reading because I needed to get up early.<br/>Students:  Have you read the part where you find out the reason the book is named, The Fault in Our Stars?<br/>Me:  No, why?<br/>Students:  Because it relates to what we are learning in class about Rome.  You know Julius Caesar and Brutus and Cassius and stuff.<br/>Me:  OMG, that is too cool.  I love it when the things we do and experience in real life show up in the history we are learning about.  Everything is connected!<br/><br/>Next day,<br/><br/>Elizabeth:  (through email)  Did you finish The Fault in Our Stars yet??<br/>Me:  (thinking, only 1 day has gone by, she must think I am a fast reader.)  No.  I am trying to savor it and read it as slowly as possible.  (there is some truth to that)<br/>Elizabeth:  Ok, just make sure you read the last 100 pages in private.<br/>Me: (thinking inside my head) Uh-Oh, this means I am probably going to cry.<br/><br/>Another day goes by.<br/><br/>Me:  (through email)  Elizabeth, I'm so sad right now.  Our book boyfriend, (did you notice I used ""Our"" instead of ""hers""?) Augustus has cancer and I am really worried.  I might need to take a break from the ending.  My heart is breaking and I'm having trouble breathing.  (this is what happens to serious readers, when they begin to take on the characteristics of the characters they love)<br/>Elizabeth:  Total waterworks from here on out.<br/><br/>Later on the same day while I was reading on the couch<br/><br/>Husband: Are you crying?  About a book? (Did I mention he is a non-reader?) (Poor husband, he will never know the amazing experience of reading a book that affects your emotions in ways you cannot predict.)<br/>Me:  Yes. Can you bring me a box of tissues?  (at this point, I was nearing the end of the book)<br/><br/>Next day at school.<br/>I walk into the room where I eat lunch.<br/>Elizabeth and I make eye contact.  She knows what I am feeling, she knows the amazing experience I just had reading The Fault in Our Stars.  She knows I can't talk about it right now.  She knows that Augustus and Hazel are amazing characters and She knows that ""The world is not a wish-granting factory"".  She knows that the side effect of dying is cancer and that falling in love is not likely to happen when you aren't feeling your best but that it happens when you least expect it.  She knows that you must live your best life today because we don't have an infinite amount of tomorrows.  She knows as only another reader can know.  Sigh.<br/><br/>Tomorrow when I see Elizabeth, Susan, Sue and Students, I will smile and say ""Okay instead of always"" and they will know the language I speak.<br/>Okay.</span>"

How can I put into words how sad and wonderful it is at the same time? Honestly, after finishing this book I needed a few days to be able to write a review.<br/><br/>The story of 17-year-old Hazel is deeply moving, yet refreshing. A mix that you wouldn't ever expect from a ""cancer book"", right?<br/><br/>Hazel suffers from thyroid cancer and cannot hope to be cured someday. Death is her constant companion, but she seems to deal with this fact far better than most of the people surrounding her. She doesn't want to be pitied, she just wants to be treated like a normal teenager with normal teenage problems. A special status or ""cancer bonus"" is repulsive to her, just as self-help groups to which she drags herself in order to please her parents. There she meets attractive Gus, her great love. They discover that they have a lot in common: books, movies, music. Together they fly to Amsterdam to meet the author of ""An Imperial Affliction"", a book which they both deeply cherished for certain reasons. A journey which is about much more than just a book in the end.<br/><br/>The characters are incredibly compelling; there are dialogues which are not only enthralling but also full of sarcasm, wit and seriousness.<br/><br/>Even though Hazel never would have wanted that, I pitied her :( - and all of the other cancer kids at the self-help group. I admired her for how she handles her difficult situation; she is incredibly strong, even supports her parents in an impressive way when they are threatening to collapse under the deadly fate of their daughter.<br/><br/>I  suffered with her when she was closer to death than ever before, from all that water in her lungs... I was happy with her too when, for a short time, she could feel like a normal teenage girl who is in love for the very first time. The relationship between Hazel and Gus was characterized by a deep emotional connection, mutual understanding and interest. They talked about everything under the sun, there was no topic they wouldn't discuss - slowly they grew together, until they knew each other inside out. It broke my heart to follow and witness the growth of this great love.<br/><br/>I shed tears over this book. It is definitely not an easy read that John Green presents to his readers; neither the content nor linguistically. The chapters are full of poetry and literature which is thought-provoking yet difficult to understand sometimes. People who are looking for a ""lowbrow read"" should rather move on to another novel.<br/><br/>I can only warmly recommend to everyone TO READ THIS BOOK.<br/>No, it is not a ""cancer book"", it is the story of the strong, yet weakened Hazel and both her great loves: Gus and life.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3SXCX4N9MT9F3?ASIN=014242417X	Where's the optional 6th star?	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is one of those books that I wish I had 6 stars to give. I was a little worried when starting it fo a few reasons:<br/><br/>1)It's #1 on the NY Times best seller list; I'm sometimes weary of books that are too popular being over-rated. I dislike reading books that everyone else says I *should*.<br/>2)Another blogger posed the question as to whether or not this book would have been so well-received had a woman written it? Now, I'm not a reverse sexist when it comes to writers, so I don't really care what your gender is if I like the writting style. But a man pulling off a legit-sounding voice for a teenage female character is tough to do. Green nailed it.<br/>3)I was worried I couldn't look past my editing pet-peeves that littere the book, such as Over Capitalization over Arbitrary Things. Oh, and: an overusage of misplaced colons. To name a few.<br/>4)I'm not generally a huge fan of reading some maudlin book about a teenager dying of cancer. (Good thing this wasn't that type of book!)<br/><br/>All that said, I gave it a chance, and I will forever be grateful I did. Green masters Hazel's voice, and I simply fell in love with her snarkiness and imperfections. The book is beautifully written--tragic in one breath, endearing in the next. And I love, love, love the quirky love story between Augustus (not Gus to me either) and Hazel. Beautifully woven, smart and funny people, and a love that will not soon leave your heart. Green also masters the art of ""going there"" with his plot line, without going too far or being too icky with the teenage characters. Very realistic, very raw and emotional.<br/><br/>As a parent, I don't have the luxury to sit and blow through a book this quickly, but I could not put this down and read it in about a day and a half. Like Hazel's ""An Imperial Affliction"", this was a book I actually underlined, starred favorite passages, went back and reread particularly beautifully written lines that deserved extra attention, and will go back and reread (maybe a dozen times).<br/><br/>Some books just touch you more than others. This book surprised me, had me laughing, had me tearing up, had me thinking about life, death, the universe, and our place in it, and actually saying, ""no, no, no"" to a plot twist I was least suspecting -- and it's not what you'd think with a girl dying of cancer.<br/><br/>Superbly written, Mr. Green. This is a genius I someday hope to leave with readers as well.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R35930QLP2CAO8?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault In Our Stars Book Review	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">In John Greens book, The Fault in Our Stars I really connected with each character and felt like I was on their journey with them. I chose this book because all my friends kept begging me to read it and they were also telling me how amazing it was. The story line that John Green chose to write was about a seventeen-year-old girl named Hazel. Hazel was more then just a seventeen-year-old girl. She had a disability throughout her life and she wasn't ready to live it with her cancer. She would stick at home with her mom and she didn't have many friends. She went to a weekly Support Group where she talked about her cancer with others. There at the Support Group she meets a boy named Augustus Waters. Little did she know that this boy could change her life.  Augustus changes Hazel's mind about the cancer and really gets her up and going. It was like a roller coaster, Ups and Downs. Like the times where Hazel and Augustus would just hang out as regular teenagers, not talking or complaining about cancer. Or when they go on an amazing journey together. I love a good fiction book but I have never found one as good as this one. Reading this book during class and or at home I never wanted to put it down. It was such a page-turner. Just seeing where or what Hazel and Augustus would do next. Augustus and Hazel seemed like they were alive in my life. John Green really made me feel like I was there with them, through every part in the book. His book really connects people, parents, kids, teenagers, everyone! Although it was a sad book it was also very exciting and happy. I recommend this book to 8th graders and above. Many young kids will not be able to understand some of the big vocabulary in the book and also some of the inappropriate words. Of course there were tears but they were always followed by a laugh. If you are interested in an exciting unpredictable teenage love story kind of book then you must stop what you are doing and read The Fault in Our Stars, you will not regret it.</span>"

Absolutely fantabulously amazing.<br/><br/>I love John Green's writing! I completely and utterly worship his literary genius! If you have not yet read any of his work, I implore you to please pick this one up! This book is an incredible read. It's one of those books that gets inside you, curls itself around your heart and then stays there forever. I will never be able to forget the brilliance that is The Fault in Our Stars.<br/><br/>In classic John Green style; this book is amusing, witty, and very thought-provoking. I loved every single moment of it. It's about three young cancer patients who are willing to make fun of themselves, who are cynical yet optimistic and who are just trying to survive. They made me laugh out loud and cry for the crap hand they were dealt. I felt emotionally connected to every single character, from the cancer patients to their friends and family. Hell, I could even sympathise a little with that Amanda bitch. This book also brought up the issue of death and oblivion a lot. While this may seem depressing, I have actually never wanted to get out there and live my life to the fullest than after finishing it! It really got me thinking about what I believe and what I would do if I knew that I was dying. God, this book is just SO good.<br/><br/>I worry that a lot of people will be hesitant to read this because of its depressing contents. I too am a little bit guilty of this; I put this one off for a while because I was unsure about reading something that I knew would break my heart. And yes, it is depressing and you will probably cry but this is definitely a story worth reading. This story is flat out honest, it doesn't sugar coat any of the issues. It has opened my mind to things that I never would have contemplated before; about life, love and death. I think this is a great story for anyone of any age.<br/><br/>All living humans - PLEASE READ THIS.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">It's been a long time since I read a book that made me cry.<br/><br/>Pass the tissues please.<br/><br/>It's not even that this book was terribly sad. Of course it is, it has its moments. It is, after all, a book about cancer patients - young cancer patients - and all that comes along with that death sentence of a diagnosis. The sad parts were, well, sad - the eulogies written before death, hopes shattered, dreams stripped away. But it wasn't the desolation that got to me. The Sad wasn't what consumed this book or consumed me.<br/><br/>The Bittersweet. That's what got me.<br/><br/>It's a book about cancer patients. And The Sad. The impact. The grenade. The loss. The way life goes on. The impact we want to make with our lives. The impact we never quite reach.<br/><br/>Ashes to ashes and whatnot.<br/><br/>The Bittersweet...it got me. Living in a moment you know can't last. Living in a moment and knowing YOU can't last. You won't last. Your time is short and even shorter for some.<br/><br/>John Green attempts to make sense of the senseless with this little gem. That's what it is, after all. Senseless. Seventeen year olds aren't supposed to die from cancer. Seventeen years aren't supposed to be cheated out of lives they'll never get the chance to live.<br/><br/>Sad books aren't normally something I reach for; my shelves aren't lined with tragedy. Life is hard enough without immersing yourself in someone else's personal hell for 318 pages, but I'm glad I did with this one.<br/><br/>That Bittersweet...the bittersweet made it worth it.<br/><br/>This John Green cat... he knows his way around language and has the ability to craft a sentence that makes me stop and read it again immediately because I want that little piece of beauty seared into my memory forever.<br/><br/>It got me.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2UN3LGQDC38HR?ASIN=014242417X	AN AMAZING STORY!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This story was AMAZING! There are times in the book that brought me to tears, as well as times when I was cheering Hazel Grace and Augustus on every step of the way.<br/><br/>This is a story that is hard to tell and read.  No one wants to think about a child getting cancer and the challenges that it brings into their lives.  The greatest benefit that I got from this book was the perspective of the cancer patient, Hazel, that tells the story in the book.  My own brother was diagnosed with cancer about 9 months ago and there are so many times that I don't know what to say or do.  I see people treating people with cancer differently as if their personality changed overnight to this person that is sick and helpless now.  The truth is that it can happen to any of us at any point in our lives.  Our job is to make sure that those we love know it and that we show it as often as we can.  There are no guarantees how long we have to mark our mark on the world.  Making a difference in the world and leaving a legacy of their lives was a key point discussed multiple times.  A person may have 80 years or 16 years to leave that mark, but the length of time doesn't determine how great an impact we can have on those we love and love us.<br/><br/>Some details that I especially appreciated, given I'm going through this process with my brother right now, is that they want life to be as normal as possible.  The patient doesn't want to be the center of attention and a novelty for others to watch and comment upon.  Even when we have the best of intentions, too often we are looking at the situation from our perspective and the impact its having on our lives, instead of what the patient is going through.  I know that is true for me and it was a wake up call for me to focus on the right things.  Focus on all the great things about the person and the impact they have had on everyone around them.  Also, there are times when there truly is NOTHING to say.  Its ok to just be there and and be silent.  That can be as big a comfort as saying the exact right words, because there really aren't any perfect words for the situation.  Bottom line it SUCKS to have cancer.  Its how Hazel and Augustus chose to fight the battle that made the greatest impact on the reader.<br/><br/>While there were tears and cheers at times, I found the story to be exactly what I needed to hear to try to be the best sister I can to my brother right now.<br/><br/>John Green, thanks so much for pouring your heart and soul into this story.  It definitely showed!<br/><br/>I give this book a SOLID 5 out of 5 stars!!</span>"

So, I waited my turn at the library, and finally got lucky when the audio version was added to the collection (still haven't gotten my call for the hard copy.) This was no problem for me, as I enjoy audio versions, both when driving or for listening to when I'm doing tasks around the house. For this book, though, I invented tasks as an excuse to listen. When those ran out, I just sat like a lump and followed Hazel and Gus through their days.<br/><br/>This is a book that reaches out and grabs your heart from the get-go. Green has created powerful characters, brought us into their everyday world, and made it vibrant, heart-wrenching, and beautiful. This is not always an easy task, for there's very little about cancer that is beautiful. But there is a great deal that is glorious in the two young people in this story. Synopses abound. Go read one if you wish, but it cannot adequately prepare for how engaging this story is.<br/><br/>A bonus to the audio version is that there is an interview with Green. I really appreciated his insights on the story, writing, life with cancer, and more. I also found out that he has done an audio version of the book, primarily for the fans of his vlog, who wanted to hear his inflections to the story. The audio version I listened to was superb, and as Green said, he was much happier to hear Hazel say, ""you're so hot"" in a female voice than in his lovely baritone.<br/><br/>Oddly enough, while reading this, I also read of Neil Gaiman's participation in  An Evening of Awesome at Carnegie Hall (available on youtube) presented last week by Hank and John Green.Watch the video, and you'll get to hear the stars of The Lizzie Bennet Diaries (which also involves Hank Green) read the wonderful section in the museum (won't say more because of spoilers.)<br/><br/>10 out of 5 stars. Yes, I liked it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1J3POZUQAXNRM?ASIN=014242417X	Fantastic.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">In all honesty, this book broke me. I came out of it stronger though. Every time that story regained my trust, it dropped a bomb on my head and absolutely shattered me. Bravo, to Mr. Green, for concocting such a masterpiece of wit, cleverness, poetry, death, life, and all the intricacies of what it means to be human and to suffer for it. Hazel is the ideal heroine, terminally ill, lonely and unhappy, but she presses on in life- for herself, her family, and all others around her- even though death is constantly looming in the shadows. She finds a new reason to fight to live in Augustus, the attractive boy she meets that happens to be hilarious, terribly clever, and a cancer survivor currently in remission. It's extremely hard to not to love and feel for each character on a person level, as there is something relatable squeezed into every one of their personalities. Hazel, funny, smart, with a love of reading poetry but not for writing it. Augustus, clever, charming, seemingly fearless but underneath he is frightened he'll become sick again. Hazel's Parents, easily worried, very protective (which is understandable in this circumstance), loyal, and the father is just a touch more on the emotional side than you would come to expect. I have absolutely no complaints. Green's style of writing is truly remarkable, he portrayed the thoughts and conversations of the teens that were the main of the story incredibly well, almost as if he was that age when he wrote it. The plot of the story was so incredibly thought out, everything fit, you were never confused to what was happening or how something happened, you never had a chance to guess what was coming next because you were too entranced in what you were comprehending right that second. That, was one of the huge reasons this book was so heartbreaking. It is exactly like life. You never know what happens on the next page, or even in the next sentence, because you're to busy living to anticipate it. I would suggest reading this with a box of tissues close by, you'll need it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3Q285C7DMUIQR?ASIN=014242417X	A Must Read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I always saw this book under my ""recommended"" and I always put it off because it was a ""cancer book"". And I remember watching a movie about two teens that are both cancer patients and they fall in love... (they both died in the end) Anyways that movie effectively put me off anything having to due with sick, star-crossed lovers.<br/><br/>While many people say this is ""NOT a cancer book"", I have to disagree. It is. It's everything people avoid because it's real and depressing. HOWEVER, this book is so much more than a ""cancer book"", and I can't picture the impacting result happening if cancer wasn't a big part of the book. So, don't be put off by the cancer aspect, but be prepared for it.<br/><br/>(And begins the rant about how amazing this book is)<br/><br/>This book surpasses everything I have been forced to read as a student, screw the classics - give me more John Green!! The author is an absolute natural; his words just flow and he has the way of making the story so much more than just a story. I can't even write a review to do John Green justice, all I can say is that it is a pleasure to read anything written by him.<br/><br/>The story itself puts Romeo and Juliet to shame. The connection between the two is so deep and real that you find yourself falling in love aswell. ( Not in a creepy ""I now have a fictional boyfriend way"" but in way that these characters will always stay with you).<br/><br/>Hazel is one of a kind.. that's really the only way to define her. She's strong, obviously, but she's so rational that it's refreshing. I think the phrase, ""an old soul"" is how I think of her. Truly amazing character.<br/><br/>Now, Augustus (LOVE THE NAME), is something else! While Hazel remains accepting of the fact that her time is limited, Augustus isn't. The reader gets to witness his struggle with death. It's a sad one, but mainly it's a fun one. His zest for life and for rememberance is so relatable yet unrealsitc.<br/><br/>Anyways, I am rambling. This book is worth the $11 dollars. I actually feel smarter from reading it! I also want to cry and mourn fictional characters, but never-the-less, I loved this book. Easily one of my favorites.<br/><br/>Buy it.<br/><br/>BTW, John Green is AMAZING!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1HQ4DME01U3EU?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in Our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">""You have to read this book, It's amazing!""<br/>That is the first thing my friend told me about this story, and that is the least you could say about it.<br/><br/>The Fault in Our Stars - What does this title mean to you?  When I started to read this book, I thought the title was catchy. I didn't know what it meant so I was curious to find out. The Fault in Our Stars is about two Indianapolis teenagers who find each other at a cancer support group meeting. Hazel, the smart, beautiful, shy girl is battling terminal thyroid cancer. This makes her very tired and she needs to use an oxygen tank wherever she goes. Augustus, the cute, all around american male teenager, has a fake leg because he had a malignant bone tumor. He wins her heart, and together they start to live a life like they never thought about before.<br/><br/>Hazel's favorite novel, An Imperial Affliction, by Peter Van Houten is about a girl with cancer who is still living a good life but the book ends and she doesn't know what happens. Hazel tries to contact Van Houten but she never had any luck. Augustus gets introduced to the book and he ends up getting in contact with him. The author promises to answer any questions about the book if they come to Amsterdam. Augustus uses a ""Wish"" he received because of his previous poor health to take Hazel and her mother to Amsterdam.<br/><br/>This book starts out a bit slow, but to me it was still very interesting. Something new and/or exciting was always happening in the chapters. The lives of Augustus and Hazel were always changing, I was always waiting for something new to happen to them. There were some things about the science content that i didn't understand. The book was talking about cancer machines, oxygen tanks and different kinds of symptoms. I don't know much about cancer but I looked those words up easily and I knew what was going on. This story is very believeable. John Green did a very good job describing the characters. As the book went along I was finding myself picturing what they looked like, where they were, and what they were doing. I was always interested in what was going to happen next, I never ever got bored with it!<br/><br/>This science fiction story was presented well. As I said, I don't know a lot about cancer, but this story helped me to understand more about it. I would like to continue to learn more about cancer and the treatments and how they destroy the cancerous cells. To me it was very interesting. In the acknowledgments, Green mentions that the word ""Phalanxifor"" was made up. It doesn't exist. Phalaxifor was the drug prescribed for Hazel's cancer. The drug was supposed to slow the cancer cell growth. The disease is treated fictitiously in this novel.<br/><br/>Overall this book was amazing. I really liked how things were written and what they meant to the story and to the book. I could really relate to the main character- Hazel. We both think alike, she appreciates the little things in life and so do I. This book deserves 5 stars. I would recommend this book to people 13 years or older. This would be a great book for teenagers who have cancer. The story would show them that you can still be happy and live your life. It would also be great for people who have friends, or parents with cancer. I have read a lot of books but none like this. This book has made me wonder and learn about cancer. It's different and I really like that. The Fault in Our Stars is truly an amazing story.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R30RMONB5SL0AN?ASIN=014242417X	YA at it's best...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Hazel is a brilliant character that I understood way to well. I have been chronically sick for five years, and while it is a totally different disease. I have felt the sense of impending doom that Hazel has. I also understood what it meant to be a professional sick teen, because I lived it for two years. Green captured this aspect perfectly. I found it hard to read at times, because the emotions still exist in me from those experiences. Augustus was amazing. He was witty and funny. I loved his personality. At times, there language seemed a bit dense, but after further thought, it fit the character in a immensely fantastic way. The parents were also involved in the book, which is something I love in Young Adult Fiction and definitely added to the story. The characters were amazing and made this book even more lovely.<br/>The plot of the book was amazing. While it dealt with being sick, it also dealt with the miracle that is life. I loved the sense of adventure and humor that were tangled between ever single aspect of this book. I have been a fan of John Green for several years and was really excited for his new novel. His writing was just as magical and extraordinary. He captured the essence that exist when you are between being dead and healthy. A lot that he wrote, is something that I have thought or felt at some point since getting sick. There were a few small medical things that seemed wrong from my experiences in the last five years. At the same time, John Green's writing is executed in a beautiful matter that I couldn't help adoring this book. I highly recommend that you read this book as soon as possible. This story is full of emotions that will clutch your heart, long after you have finished it. It is one of my favorite books that I have read in a long time.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2WL98Q6ITBV1H?ASIN=014242417X	A perfect heartbreaking book. You really need to buy and read it.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I have had this book for many months. But because I'm a coward I didn't read it until now. I was still afraid, though. With good reason. This book is heartbreaking. It's so sad. But only very near the ending. And it's so damn good that you cannot not love it. The Fault in Our Stars is a book about love. And it's perfect. It's also a book about cancer and living with it. Which is all kinds of awful. But it's also a happy book with lots of young love and happiness and it's all just so good and I never wanted it to end. But it did. So heartbreakingly good and gut wrenching.<br/><br/>This is the story of Hazel. A sixteen year old girl with cancer. I won't try to explain her sickness, because I would most likely suck at it. But know that it is awful, so awful. But it's also so perfect and so well written and I loved it a lot. It sort of gave life to the character, even if the cancer is slowly killing her. It's so interesting to read about. She has to have this oxygen tank on at all times, and while that sort of disturbed me a bit, I also loved it. It's unique, and it just made me love her a lot more.<br/><br/>There is a lot of pain in my heart from reading this book. A lot of pain. First there is pain for Hazel. She seems so sad all the time. And I totally get that. But she's also pretty happy, and I loved that. But she does everything for her parents, and that was sad. But I understand it so well. I actually loved her parents. They love her so much. And it's just so awful for them as well. Her dad is crying all the time. But he's also so caring and kind and I just adored him. Same with her mom. They were awesome.<br/><br/>This is also a book about Augustus. Hazel meets him at this cancer kid support group. He's deadly handsome. And just so amazing. Most likely my favorite character. It's just impossible not to love him. He's perfect. Gorgeous, kind, funny. Everything you want in a boy. He's also a great friend, perfect boyfriend. Another I loved in this book was Isaac, he's best friend. He's adorable. He also gets his heart broken. It was awful. But also so amazing. He was just really fun to read about. And I enjoyed that a lot.<br/><br/>There is a lot of sick kids in this book. But it isn't all about sickness. But those sick people we do get to know.. it's, well, heartbreaking. I don't have another word for it. There is just so much pain. But it's so good and I couldn't get enough of it all. I loved reading about Isaac's cancer. And Hazel's. And mostly Augustus's. It was just so bad. But so perfect. And I have no words for how good this book was. I'm doing my best to describe it, but I'm pretty sure I'm failing. I need a sequel to this book. Truly.<br/><br/>The plot in this book is amazing. Hazel is such an amazing girl. She loves this book that she's read so many times. She gets Gus to read it, and he falls in love with it as well. And I loved that so much. It was adorable. She has tried so many times to get in contact with the author of that book. And it's kind of amazing. There is even a trip to Amsterdam. Best trip ever. But also most sad one. I hated that author. Really hated him. But it was so good to read about. And it was done so well and I loved it lots.<br/><br/>The romance in this book is so great. It's sweet and amazing and just so perfect. I loved it so much. First there isn't much, I mean, there is flirting from the beginning which was awesome. But Hazel is trying to keep Gus from being hurt if she dies. But she gets over that. And then everything gets so much better. And it's all so good. And the romance is so sweet and I just wanted more and more. But we also got so much, and I will always cherish it. Swooning a bit right now, just thinking about it.<br/><br/>I'm not sure what else to say about this plot. It's so good. So much amazing things happens. So much heartbreak and painful and awful things. And it is all so good. And I just loved every part of this book. I know I will re-read The Fault in Our Stars so many times. It is a book that must be read and loved a whole bunch of times. You need to read it. Seriously. This is not a book to be missed. While it is full of heartbreak, it is also so good and happy and sweet and it all makes so much sense at the end. Well, okay, I still hated that thing at the end. But it's so good that you can't really dislike it too much.<br/><br/>There is this tiny thing that I will spoil. I will not spoil how this book ends. What it ends with. How it happens. But I will say that something happens. And ah. It's awful. But anyway. I kind of new it before starting this book, so I'm hoping that you do too. I was sure there would be a death in this book. And there is. And it's awful. But it also surprised me a whole lot. And it was even worse than I had thought. And it's so unfair. But it also beyond perfect and I just can't decide how to feel about it. I want a sequel to this book. I really do. But there should not be one. I just need to know what happens to this one character. I also want deleted scenes. Many of those. Pretty please. &lt;3<br/><br/>Once you start reading this book you cannot stop. I had been planning on just reading a little bit of it today. I didn't know it would be so addictive. But it was. And I had to finish it right away. So glad that I did. This book is just perfection. The writing is amazing. The characters are perfect, well, flawed, but still so perfect and so well written. There wasn't a single thing to hate in this book. Okay. That isn't really true. There was this thing happening at the end. So heartbreaking and unfair. So much sobbing.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2C0N3GKMLZGL3?ASIN=014242417X	Smart, touching, funny, sad	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I don't think a book has touched me this much in a long time.  Where to begin?<br/><br/>First of all, this book is considered young adult, but I am 34 and read it because I was looking for something good to read.  I saw that it had been voted the best young adult novel of the year by Goodreads.com (I hope I'm accurate here; will have to double-check).  I had read the adult winners already, and the summary intrigued me.<br/><br/>Hazel is a 16 year old girl who has had terminal cancer for the last three years.  Basically, she knows she is dying, doesn't know how much time she has left, and is understandably depressed and grappling with this and all that comes along with it.  At a cancer support group, she meets a survivor named Augustus Waters.  He has been cancer-free for over a year, had his leg amputated, but is otherwise in pretty good shape. The two of them become very good friends, and are obviously attracted to each other and want more.  However, Hazel is resisting this- becoming romantically involved- because she knows she's not going to be around forever (how much time she has is kind of vague, but it doesn't sound good), and wants to minimize the pain she causes him.<br/><br/>What I like about this book as that, while the subject matter is depressing, Hazel and Augustus are so smart.  I love the way Green wrote them as these extremely smart and funny teenagers with all this insight and wisdom into the world, their disease, and human nature.  I have had family members with cancer, and the way he writes about their families is so honest.  While it was sad, parts felt so triumphant and had me laughing out loud.<br/><br/>This is a love story that I feel resonates with all ages.  I couldn't put it down, and I know that Hazel and Gus will stay with me for a long time.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R5RTARK4FKER3?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in Our Stars Indeed	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Gah, this book. My friends have been trying to get me to read this book for MONTHS, but I refused to read it because I hate sad books (or sad movies, or sad ANYTHING) with a passion. I guess that's a bit childish and stubborn of me, but that's just me - I always want to be happy :) But this book was so worth all the pushing and shoving. This is the first novel I've ever read by John Green, and I will definitely be reading many more, without the insistence of my friends pushing me forward. The writing was phenomenal and the scenes flew together so nicely, which I always like in a book - and I'm assuming so does everyone. No one likes choppy scenes or having to go back and reread the last page because they're not sure what just happened.<br/><br/>I also connected with the characters very easily, and was quickly sucked into the story. The conversations between the characters were so believable and human-like... it's hard to explain. And sometimes the conversations turned really insightful, sometimes so insightful I reread and reread the line because I liked it so much. Okay, I kinda just contradicted myself. To be more clear, sometimes there would be conversations between Hazel Grace and Augustus that you (or I, anyway) could connect with because it sounded like you were talking to your best friends. And then sometimes, the conversations would turn so in-depth or thoughtful that (technically I suppose this is a downside to the novel, but it didn't bother me at all when I was reading so whatever) you kinda felt rather unintelligent at their piles and piles of intelligence. It was almost like talking to these teenage philosophers at some points when really, you were just hearing John Green's voice through the teens. But these bits of very insightful comments didn't bother me - I thought they just enhanced the story.<br/><br/>In short, this is a beautiful book that everyone should read. Lots and lots of stars.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1ANTV2TZ9QLYB?ASIN=014242417X	TFiOS = Fermentation. Better with age and time.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I normally do not write reviews on Amazon. But TFiOS converted me to come out of my virtual hidey-hole and give a review on this book.<br/><br/>I'll be honest. The first time I read it, I was let down and thought it to be anti-climactic after rushing through it. I read it a second time more slowly. A third. A fourth. Slowly but surely, I loved it more and more to the point I can now affirm wholeheartedly with the person who wrote a message to the potential buyer (me) on a store receipt inside the book I found after I purchased it. The message proclaimed, ""THIS IS THE BEST BOOK IN THE HISTORY OF FOREVER! GET IT-- YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED. :)"" I think the person's action in leaving a message speaks volumes in and of itself.<br/><br/>This is not to say this is everyone's cup of tea. Perhaps one will read it countless times and not be wowed, and that's perfectly fine. After all, no book is going to appeal to everyone. But what TFiOS accomplishes, at least to me, is that it sidesteps the entire cliche of tragicomedies relating to teens and cancer, and shows who they are: human, with faults and flaws and humor and zeal. I can imagine a Hazel and Gus so perfectly; they can be my peers in class. The parents could be just like mine. But this is not a fairy tale. In its imperfect but well-developed characters and plot, it is paradoxically a near-perfect book. The prose is succinct and so Green-esque. One sentence had me tearing up, the next had me howling on the subway in laughter, with people giving me wary glances.<br/><br/>I always appreciated John Green's work, because he never dumbed down the teenage population, and although I am past the teenage fiction age group, I appreciate it more and more as time goes by. It's like fermentation-- they get better with age, such as kimchee and wine. This book is no exception.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3R524JI7377SI?ASIN=014242417X	nightreadings.com review: Best read of 2012	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Sometimes we get to read a really good book.  If we are lucky, we might even get to read a great book once in a while. But then there is also `that kind of book'. You know what I mean. The kind of book that you swore you was only going to read a couple of pages of that evening, but by 3 am you had flipped the final page and realized you had read through the whole thing. The kind of book that your thoughts keep returning to, even though you have long since finished reading it.<br/><br/>The Fault in our Stars by John Green is just `that kind of book'.<br/><br/>The voice of Hazel, our lovely main character and narrator, is sharp and witty and you instantly get the impression that she is very wise beyond her years. Hazel has a very straightforward and clear view of the world she lives in. Hazel has no pretenses about her decease and she knows she will never get well, but, as Augustus points out to us in the story, her strong personality shines through in everything she does and makes her more alive than any of the characters I have had the pleasure to follow in a very long time.<br/><br/>Augustus, a boy Hazel meets at cancer kid support group, is charming and just as witty as Hazel. They are two very compatible individuals and their relationship helps them both to really get out of their shells. When Hazel and Augustus interact with each other, we get to see everything that they are, everything that they wish to be, and at times even what they might become, and that itself takes serious masterful writing.<br/><br/>I might not have read that many stories about people with terminal deceases, but I have no doubt that The Fault in Our Stars is as authentic as it is going to get. There is no sugar coating or glorification of this book; It is just about a seventeen year old girls with ""lungs that suck at being lungs.""<br/><br/>I will be perfectly honest with you though, I cried like a little girl when I finished it, and yet this is a book I will return to and re-read many times in the future.<br/><br/>John Green, I thank you for sharing this amazing book with the rest of us and I look forward to reading more of your work.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1XJYJBW20TGP8?ASIN=014242417X	Will become a classic years to come	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">From my blog 4 1/2<br/><br/>What a great read, I actually enjoyed, almost loved a hyped book, I have to agree that this one deserves the hype, wow wow wow.  And............ it is YA, not my cup of tea but it had me engaged the whole time.  Something about the summary and reviews, I was intrigued, very glad I gave it a try.<br/><br/>An emotional book with lots of humour, dark humour, childish humour, many many many laughs throughout the story.<br/><br/>I loved getting to know teenagers that are not the norm, almost everyone had cancer in different forms and a major plus is that the parents were included in the story.  Hazel and Gus had their own language, what I consider true soul mates.  I loved their journey, my favourite parts were the dialogue throughout the story, fascinating, beautiful, emotional and downright hilarious.<br/><br/>The scenarios of what Hazel and Gus chose has their wish, kind of Wish Foundation was so amazing I was touched.  Gus reaction to Hazel's was a favourite funny part.  Quote ""Hazel GRACE!"" he shouted.  ""You did not use your one dying Wish to go to Disney World with your parents.""  ""Also Epcot Center,"" I mumbled. ""Oh, my God,"" Augustus said.  ""I can't believe I have a crush on a girl with such cliche wishes.""  Seriously, that is the best dialogue ever.<br/><br/>I think this book will pass the test of time and 10 years from now will still be on reader and book stores favourite lists.<br/><br/>I highly recommend this one, I think everyone will enjoy.  There is so much in this book and the reviews I have read give minimal, mainly I believe because you just have to experience it for yourselves without any prior knowledge of details.<br/><br/>I have to now go read more John Green, he may just become my YA go to author when I'm in the mood.</span>"

I've officially accepted that I am indeed a masosadist.<br/><br/>""That's the thing about pain...it demands to be felt.""<br/><br/>I've lost a lot of people to cancer in my lifetime. From a young age, I've learned to coupe with these ""grenades"" in anyway imaginable, much as you read about in Stars.<br/><br/>""Off topic, but: What a slut time is. She screws everybody.""<br/><br/>Green's Book is the story of life through eyes that are very much living for the moment. People told me that I would cry. Did I? Yes, and actually on two flights between Milwaukee and Fort Lauderdale {marvelous timing for a sad read right?!}. But I unlike many readers didn't find myself crying from start to finish. What some saw as a depressing story about death and sickness, I saw a story of survival, love, and honesty which was beautiful to read.<br/><br/>""Oh, I wouldn't mind, Hazel Grace. It would be a privilege to have my heart broken by you.""<br/><br/>Hazel and Augustus put things in perspective for you. I got all the way to 78% before I started to cry. I was starting to think I was heartless, but as I sat to start writing the review, I just realized that I related so much to this read. More than any book I've ever read.<br/><br/>""Only now that I loved a grenade did I understand the foolishness of trying to save others from my own impending fragmentation: I couldn't unlove Augustus Waters. And I didn't want to.""<br/><br/>I ultimately read this book because I didn't believe Green could write a story that truly embraced how it felt to deeply love a person, with cancer, and lose them. The feeling is indescribable, and in the end, yeah, I got my answer. Wow. Dead on. Glad I read it, but I'm going to find my heart. I think it's on the floor, stomped on.<br/><br/>""You don't get to choose if you get hurt in this world, old man, but you do have some say in who hurts you. I like my choices. I hope she likes hers.""<br/><br/>Warning: You will cry {I currently have a stomach ache just writing this review}, your heart will be broke, and you will be a better person after finishing this book. And have the next read ready, I walked around in a haze for hours until I could start my post ""The Fault In Our Stars"" book. But I promise, it's worth it.<br/><br/>Finally, since there were SOOOO many good quotes in this book, thought I would add a few more then I usually do...<br/><br/>""The world is not a wish-granting factory.""<br/><br/>""Without pain, how could we know joy?' This is an old argument in the field of thinking about suffering and its stupidity and lack of sophistication could be plumbed for centuries but suffice it to say that the existence of broccoli does not, in any way, affect the taste of chocolate.""<br/><br/>""You realize that trying to keep your distance from me will not lessen my affection for you.

But in the best way possible, in a way that takes a horrible thing like terminal cancer and makes it secondary to the life they're living now, to the pressing, important issues that completely overshadow cancer - like what happens to the hamster in An Imperial Affliction. Because how could Hazel die without knowing that? By the way - Sisyphus as a name for a hamster? Brilliant. But seriously - if not for the constant reminder of Hazel's tubes and Augustus's leg, I might have forgotten at some points that these are sick teens. Which is kind of the point.<br/><br/>Right from the start, it's obvious that Hazel is frustrated at how the cancer took hold of her life and dominates every move she makes, and every decision her family makes. So when she begins living a life where cancer is peripheral, when she lets herself love and doesn't worry - too much - about how having cancer fits with having a boyfriend, it changes everything. Her mother is happy about it - though why she pulled Hazel out of school when she just wants her to continue having normal interactions with people is beyond me. That's not a criticism of the author. To the contrary, I think it sounds perfectly realistic, and it made me think about how people react to illness. Hazel's mom is so afraid of things that she reacts that way, but when Hazel starts changing things, her mom does too.<br/><br/>For me, there were two parts to the book. The first, more obvious, part is the exploration of how people deal with illness and death. There's a large enough cast of characters besides Hazel and Augustus's families that we get to see more than a few reactions. And the book is just peppered with pithy comments and observations about life, about death, about humanity's place in the universe.<br/><br/>But the other part that I connected to just as much is the exploration of what a book is, what a novelist is. Green prefaces the novel with a note about how everything in the novel is made up and readers shouldn't try to search for facts in it. And then Hazel is obsessed with finding out what happens to the characters after the end of An Imperial Affliction. And the way that turns out seems to be a comment on the essence of novels and novelists, following from this preface. I love how Hazel's quest to find out the ending turns out. It winds up affecting both parts of the book, the exploration of novels as well as the exploration of death and dying.<br/><br/>With all its serious subject matter, The Fault in Our Stars manages to be - not exactly fun, but close to it. Definitely it has some laugh-out-loud moments. And some teary ones, but they're balanced. It's a beautiful love story, in the larger sense of love.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1LTNJEAQZMLFR?ASIN=014242417X	buckets of tears	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I have been anticipating this book for a while now.  Not just because it's by John Green who is an amazing writer.  But also because I like the premise of the story.<br/>A dying sixteen year old girl named Hazel Grace meets Augustus Waters, a gorgeous boy who also happens to have cancer.  He falls for her fast.  But Hazel, knowing her death is near, pulls back.  Both are quick witted with very deep thoughts about everything, including a particular book written by a recluse, Peter Van Houten.  So Gus decides to use his one WISH (basically a wish granted as a gift by The Genie Foundation specifically for very sick children) to take Hazel to Amsterdam to meet the author.  The trip turns out to be good and bad.  Bad because Houten is a drunk loser who tells them nothing they want to know.  And Good because finally Hazel relents to loving Gus back.  But just when happiness seems possible for the two, Gus finds out his cancer has spread.  Now it's just a matter of time before one of them dies.<br/>The first few chapters were hard to process.  It felt like I was watching Joey and Dawson in the 90's TV show Dawson's creek in the way they talked to each other.  As if existentialism is a part of their daily discussion.  But slowly I fell in love with Hazel and Gus.  So much so that I almost bawled at the pre-eulogy.  But that's getting ahead of the book.  One thing about both is that they are brave, they fight to live and to love. Gus is a sweetheart.  His sunny disposition and love for Hazel breaks down her walls.  But the tables are turned past half of the book.  And you'll see Hazel come into her own for Gus. To help him accept the hand they've been dealt.<br/>This is a great book that will squeeze you dry of tears.  Your heart will break. And you will be devastated.  But you will also appreciate that life is a gift, and that loving, no matter how short it may be, is always worth the eventual heartbreak.  Read it and weep.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3146JADM3KS1U?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Let me preface this by saying, I'm not much of a reader. That's not to say I am illiterate nor do I hate to read. Quite the contrary actually. I am just more of a video gamer, and that takes up most of my time so I spend little of it reading. I do have a wonderful friend who once in a while is able to goad me away from the T.V. or computer and make me delve into something a little more literary in nature now and then, and usually, as a result, I end up with a new favorite book to add to my collection. (Though I actually bought this book first and prompted her to read it, and of course she breezed through it, loved it, and then had to prompt me to read it. Repeatedly. But I digress.) What I am trying to say is that I rarely read, so it's an even rarer occurrence that I read the entirety of a book in a single day as I did with this one.<br/><br/>Let me just say that I've read few things that were as achingly beautiful yet as brutally honest as John Green's latest novel.  It deals in a very frank manner, with the issues of life, death, illness, love, relationships and all points in between. It centers around a trio (mostly a duo) of teenagers who are either suffering from or recovering from various cases of cancer, but by no means is this some depressive plodding sob-fest,(Though it certainly has its heart wrenching moments). On the contrary this gorgeously nuanced, brilliantly insightful novel will have you laughing out loud and crying your eyes out, many times within the confines of the same page. It will make you contemplate your mortality and realize just how much you treasure those you love.<br/><br/>I cannot stress this enough. Go buy this book, and read it immediately. You won't regret it. I know I certainly didn't. My only regret is that I didn't read it sooner. Don't make the same mistake.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R12UKYTHIRBUT0?ASIN=014242417X	First favorite of 2012!  John Green's best book yet!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is the first book of 2012 going on my favorites list.  I'm always afraid to say I really loved a book so much it's on my favorites list because sometimes that wonderful feeling kind of fades and you later realize that it maybe wasn't quite as amazing as you thought.  That favorites list has to be saved for the truly amazing books.  And I rarely add books to it.  But when I read this book I had no doubt in my mind that it belongs on that list.  It truly is a special book that I doubt will ever fade from my memory.<br/><br/>This is a book that takes you on a roller coaster ride.  It's full of amazing witty and hilarious characters.  But these characters are dealing with so much.  You know from the description that this is not just some happy go lucky book.  Cancer is a tough and scary thing and there are many revelations to be had when facing life and death.  There are very few books that have made me feel as much as this one.  This book had me laughing hysterically and sobbing all in the same sentence.  It truly was an epic ride and one of the best I've ever been on.<br/><br/>John Green is an expert in creating characters that really truly stand out.  That are super smart and witty and full of some seriously awesome humor.  And I've come to love quite a few of his characters.  But in this book, this book they are more.  These are my most favorite cast of characters yet.  They stand far above the others in any of his books.  They were truly perfect.  And to be perfect they were of course flawed and real.  But they were smart and witty and absolutely hilarious.  They had to overcome so much and they had to find strength to deal with stuff that we all hope we never have to face.<br/><br/>I honestly could ramble on about the awesomeness in this book but there really are no words to really describe this book.  It's just perfection and please go get a box of tissue and sit down and read this book now.  I promise, you won't regret it!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R32Q5F96F3JGNN?ASIN=014242417X	Worth every penny	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I started out merely as a fan of John Green, the video blogger on the internet with his brother and so pined to get a hold of his books to read.<br/>I live in Asia so it's not the easiest thing to go into a bookshop and finding whatever you want.<br/>I finally found Looking For Alaska, loved it and recommended it to all my friends, I also enjoyed Will Grayson, Will Grayson (which he co wrote).<br/><br/>It was when he was promoting The fault in our stars last year, did I preorder my copy via Amazon online, since I wanted to support him in any way I could, I loved all his past writings, the first two chapter teasers and the first printings were all signed.<br/><br/>After a long wait for my shipping to arrive, the book got to my house safe and sound. I devoured the book in 5 and a half hours straight without a break.<br/>(Oh and yes, my copy was gladly signed.)<br/><br/>This book is all kinds of wonderfulness mixed together. There's a bunch of witty comments and teenage sarcasm etc in it that will relate to ""young adult"" readers but the depth of the book and ""smartness"" of it allows readers who are no longer ""young adults"" to read it too and enjoy it.<br/>Like all John Green books, you always learn and get something out of it (well for me), you learn to see the world in another person's perspective, experience things you'll never experience. You slowly fall in love with all the characters and it's just like you're living and breathing in the story.<br/><br/>Do not think of it as a ""cancer story"" it is but it's much more than that and ultimately after finishing the book, you walk away with so much.<br/><br/>And as John Green wished us to experience, yes I did feel ""all the things"".<br/><br/>DFTBA<br/>(I'm sorry I'm not the best at reviewing things without being biased. DO give the book a try though, read the sample chapters)</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2N4ADTXWS9LBT?ASIN=014242417X	John Green's finest!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">If nothing else can convince you to read this one, read the blurb from E. Lockhart that's on the back cover: ""John Green writes incredible, honest truths about the secret, weird hearts of human beings. He makes me laugh and gasp at the beauty of a sentence or the twist of a tale. He is one of the best writers alive and I am seething with envy of his talent.""<br/><br/>It's about Hazel, a girl who with one cancer medical miracle is granted a little extra time in life, but knows that soon she will die. She meets Augustus, a cancer survivor, in a support group that takes place in a church basement they quickly coin ""the heart of Jesus"" for all of the prayers and mention of the name. The book is essentially a love story between these two teens who have already been through so much. They bond over a mutual friend in support group. And they continue to bond over a series of amazing conversations, violent video game playing, and book sharing.<br/><br/>Hazel is obsessed with this one book: An Imperial Affliction. And she and Augustus switch favorite books. Hazel gets the series his favorite video game is based off of, and devours several in the series really quickly. And Augustus loves her book too, which ends mid sentence where the main character is assumed to have died of cancer. But both Hazel and Augustus are obsessed with trying to figure out what happens to the other characters in the novel. And the two teens end up going to Amsterdam, spending Augustus' wish (something all cancer kids seem to get and that Hazel wasted on a trip to Disney when she was 13) to go meet the author of An Imperial Affliction and get some answers.<br/><br/>There's international adventures, first love, death, survival, philosophical questions, some amazing characters, and a lot of talk about the people cancer patients have relationships with, who they know they will end up leaving behind. There's a scene when the two go to Anne Frank's house and the connections Hazel kept making between herself and Anne Frank, without even realizing she was making the connections, were so scary, and moving.<br/><br/>It's not a typical cancer book. It's jam-packed with amazing dialogue, dark and witty humor, and plenty of intense philosophical questions. Why do bad things happen to good people? Why do some people survive and some don't? How can you make your life mean something? Is love worth it even when you know it will end badly? So many of the questions asked in this book are questions you think of adults (way past the stage of mid-life crisis') asking. So, it's really hard reading about kids asking these questions. And these kids are brilliant, real, and so wise beyond their years.<br/><br/>I stopped reading all of the other books I was reading to finish this one. Sometimes I'd read a page, or a conversation, and just need to pause and let it all sink in. I slowly savored this book in meaningful and small bites because I didn't want any other food corrupting this flavor.<br/><br/>Really, this book is beautiful. And it was capable of putting me in a completely different mindset. It's sad. And I knew it would have a sad ending, so I kind of postponed finishing it.  But, really, I shouldn't have done that because the sad ending was such a beautiful ending. If you like dark humor, YA, John Green, and amazing character development, there is no reason you won't love this one.  Go, read it!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RFN4KEV5WZ9EE?ASIN=014242417X	This book gets all my stars...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Opening Line:<br/>""Late in the winter of my seventeenth year, my mother decided that I was depressed, presumably because I rarely left the house, spent quite a lot of time in bed, read the same book over and over, ate infrequently, and devoted quite a bit of my abundant free time to thinking about death.""<br/><br/>My Take On It<br/><br/>See that sentence above? That is a shining example of why I include the opening line of every book I review in my post. In that one sentence, we the reader instantly get a feel about our protagonist Hazel, thereby setting the tone of what is to come in this book. Yet, it's not a book about death. Cancer, and how Hazel and the other characters in the book deal with it, plays a role to be sure, but this book isn't just about that either. It is about hope and about life. It's not merely about the business of dying, but the business of living.<br/><br/>I have read all of John Green's works, but this is the first review of one of his books I have ever written. Why the wait? Well, he's sort of a tough act to follow isn't he? I used to waitress and tend bar at a comedy club. And I can tell you that no headlining comedian ever appreciated being outshone by his opening act. So, I guess I always felt that there was no way on this sweet earth that I could ever come up with a review that would do justice to the writing of John Green. And I still feel that way.  But I couldn't not say something in response to a book I think one day may be hailed as Green's finest written work.<br/><br/>So what is it about John Green? What makes him stand out in the massive sea of authors writing YA literature today? I think it's because no matter whose voice he writes, be it a geeky heartbroken child prodigy with a knack for anagrams; a wayward boarding school student obsessed with the famous last words of people throughout history; the geeky boy next door trying to solve the mysterious disappearance of his neighbor and childhood crush; the awkward boy who tries to act as if he doesn't care but has a larger than life best friend who makes it his mission to prove otherwise; or a seventeen year old terminally ill girl who meets the love of her life in a cancer kids support group she has nearly given up on; no matter whose voice it is, it's authentic. It's someone you or I know, or could know. John Green keeps it REAL.<br/><br/>Hazel is the first female protagonist Green has written but I didn't even pick up on that right away. Because it didn't matter. Green can write the voice of a teenage girl just as effortlessly and legitimately as that of a teenage boy. Through his words he can transport a reader into the hearts and minds of his characters.<br/><br/>""I nodded. I liked Augustus Waters. I really, really, really liked him. I liked the way his story ended with someone else. I liked his voice. I liked that he took existentially fraught free throws. I liked that he was a tenured professor in the Department of Slightly Crooked Smiles with a dual appointment in the Department of Having a Voice That Made My Skin Feel More Like Skin. And I liked that he had two names. I've always liked people with two names, because you get to make up your own mind what you call them. Gus or Augustus? Me, I was always just Hazel, univalent Hazel.""<br/><br/>And what a cast of character's he creates for us. Hazel, like many of Green's MC's, is the epitome of studious sarcasm. But she's lived so long with her disease it's become all that she is. Until she meets Augustus Waters. What can I say to express the love that I feel for Augustus? Like Tiny Cooper (Will Grayson, Will Grayson) and Hassan Harbish (An Abundance of Katherines), he sort of steals the show. And I am hard pressed to say that I have ever read a more romantic character in a John Green book, or any book for that matter, than Augustus Waters. He seems too good to be true, but then you remember: he's in remission, falling for a dying girl. He doesn't have time for small talk or small sentiments. He is loyal, generous, and kind. And like Hazel, I fell for him too.<br/><br/>""I'm in love with you,"" he said quietly.<br/>""Augustus,"" I said.<br/>""I am,"" he said. He was staring at me, and I could see the corners of his eyes crinkling. ""I'm in love with you, and I'm not in the business of denying myself the simple pleasure of saying true things. I'm in love with you, and I know that love is just a shout into the void, and that oblivion is inevitable, and that we're all doomed and that there will come a day when all our labor has been returned to dust, and I know the sun will swallow the only earth we'll ever have, and I am in love with you.""<br/><br/>Yeah. Holy. Cow.<br/><br/>Heartbroken friend and fellow gamer Isaac is also really well written and through him we see other facets of Hazel and Gus' personality. I also loved the inclusion of Hazel's parents in this book. Parental figures don't always play a large role in Green's books, but I absolutely adore Hazel's mom and dad. I'm a mom, and this book hit me hard in that regard. The sacrifices that her parents make to give their daughter as normal a life as possible coupled with the guilt Hazel feels for being such a stress and emotional burden on her parents is heartbreaking. But even in that heartbreak, there are still moments of profound hope and joy and love.<br/><br/>So, in closing, John Green has done it again. I loved this book and chose to write about it because it made me laugh out loud. It made me cry my eyes out. I grinned and I swooned. I ran the full gamut of emotions. And I walked away feeling changed. It's not a book about cancer and loss and death. It's a book about life. Read it.<br/><br/>5/5 Stars</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RWDUZNYM0X7N7?ASIN=014242417X	A perfect balance between life, love, and the inevitability of death	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">There are a lot of books out there that make you laugh till you can hardly sit upright, and a lot that drive you to tears. There are far fewer that can do both at the same time. ""The Fault in Our Stars"" is just one such book. John Green has managed to create balance where it is sorely needed, walking his characters along the precipice between life and death. This book examines how we live, how we love, and how we die with a strength and grace that is hard to find in this generation of instantly-updated statuses and say-before-you-think approaches to conversation and relationships. This book does not take the careful approach to the subject of death; it takes death in hand, examines it, prods at it, and then crushes it and from the pieces makes something beautiful.<br/><br/>Hazel and Augustus are not perfect and each has their flaws; Hazel sometimes becomes a bit of a test for everyone's patience, and Augustus is too overconfident. In the end, though, it is impossible not to fall in love with them. Their joys become your joys, their sorrows your sorrows. You can feel their grief. They are never just their illness, but instantly become people in the minds of the reader.<br/><br/>Yes, this is a book about cancer. Yes, this is a book about death, but it is so much more than that. ""The Fault in Our Stars"" is a book about living, about finding purpose when purpose seems so futile, when death is inevitable and rushing up at you and grasping at your throat and still being able to look around and say, ""I want more out of this time I have left."" There is a part in this book, about each person having their own infinity of time left to live. I think Hazel and Augustus spent their infinities the best way they could, by loving each other.<br/><br/>John Green, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for writing such a beautiful novel.<br/>And as always, DFTBA.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RXGVDJMF7FN5B?ASIN=014242417X	So how do you feel about crying?	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">If you don't mind having the insane urge to sob for approximately half of the book (which I did), then this is definitely a must read! I'm a consumer of literature and I have to say this truly is an amazing book! It's so honest, and relatable. The characters are so perfect (John Green is FAN-FRICKING-TASTIC) I can't imagine anyone not falling in love with Hazel. She is this witty (very sarcastic) 16 year old who happens to be living with a ""touch of cancer"" and crushingly it appears to be terminal...depressing, I know.<br/><br/>ANYWAYS...Hazel meets her intellectual &amp; cancer-laden counterpart Augustus Waters. (FOR ME) without him this book wouldn't have worked, because AW is that person you would want to be if you had to deal with being a cancer patient, or really just in general. I want to be on a roller coaster that only goes up too! (READ THE BOOK, it sounds more official when AW says it) As their relationship develops, you the reader will get way too involved, it's just so personal and parts of this book really hurt, I found myself WAY too attached (Yes, even though the author gives the warning in the beginning, about how readers {LIKE ME}  tend to do that, so I'm thinking he's setting you up for failure the whole time, but I digress) It's a star crossed kind of thing, minus that part where they commit suicide and such (Of course they're setup for death naturally so...) I don't want to ruin it for anyone, and It only took me about 4 and a 1/2 hours to read (I COULDN'T STOP, and yeah I tried) BUT... In a Nutshell It's exactly how love should be, (at it's core) honest, hard, and un-ending. All great loves should be something like a Hazel &amp; Gus love, but you'll have to read this lovely book to find all of that out. You won't be let down!!<br/><br/>Just remind yourself as you're crying, It's a FICTION, and get some tissues!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1CTPJP9CXHP60?ASIN=014242417X	Honest, Unmerciful, Beautiful.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Yeah, this one pretty much bowled me over, almost from the get-go.<br/><br/>I've read all three of Green's other books, and enjoyed them all in slightly varying degrees, but I can say right up front that this work takes his actual writing, the poetic crafting of his sentences, the unforced gravity and feeling of his ideas, to an entirely different plateau.  I have to admit, in the previous three books, it's sometimes been tempting to write off his characters (especially the male narrators) as unrealistic ""prodigies,"" thinly-veiled externalizations of Green's very developed, adult mind into a young adult framework.  In this book, however, both Hazel (Green's refreshing first attempt at a female narrator) and Augustus are amazingly developed.  Their high-concept banter and well-turned inner thoughts come off as honest, engaging reflections, not impositions on believability; they make you have hope for the ability of today's youth to, as Green wonderfully say it, ""imagine people more complexly."" This is even more admirable for the fact that every line and event works towards establishing solid themes of death, loss of self, and the need to ""matter""/leave a legacy for the living.<br/><br/>Even just from reading the book jacket, we know how all of this is going to end; into this scenario rife with despair and pain, Green throws in love like a time bomb, and we watch how these characters pass it back and forth, keeping it aloft until the very end; and it's both totally expected and totally devastating whose hands it goes off in.  The characters resist all cliched tropes about love overcoming death, instead using it to propel the living forward into making greater realizations about themselves and their place in the world.  Augustus's letter to van Houten about Hazel at the end of the book is tear-jerking and unmercifully good.<br/><br/>This book also seems like it has a smaller focus of characters than the other books, and that's all to the better.  The stuff with Peter van Houten and his assistant is great; I love how Green has no pride in making the only author in the book a slovenly, drunken ass (as if cautioning his fans not to equate love of books with love of their authors).  Isaac is a great character, with all the things that his blindness allows us to explore.  The trophy-smashing scene, making out in Anne Frank's house...all of it with a sheen of hard-won honesty (through revision, I expect) and efficiency; not a word, or thought, is wasted.<br/><br/>Just a beautiful book, one that I think could transcend its genre into the ""classic"" realm.  Thank you, John Green, and as always...<br/><br/>DFTBA!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2DL3KCWHY6BCC?ASIN=014242417X	Overcoming Obstacles	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I have named this review as I have as a nod to the characters' struggle to overcome the obstacles that cancer places in the way of their relationship with each other, with their families, and with themselves.  It could also be a description of John Green's success in overcoming self-inflicted wounds in the course of describing the relationship of Hazel and Augustus, 17 year old cancer survivors as we meet them.  The practical knee-knocker is the ability of the kids to embark on international travel to pursue a plot point thanks to the most well-funded, least curious, ""Make a Wish""-type organization known to man.  Augustus calls them ""the genies"" and as they provide the assistance of a ""machina ex dues"" perhaps this is a good name.<br/><br/>  However the biggest obstacle to the suspension of disbelief is the ability of these kids to speak in flowing, existential monologues and dialogues that sound as though they had been crafted, practiced, and examined for days.  No teen - not even preturnaturally bright, only-child, cancer warriors, can talk like this.<br/><br/>  So why 5 stars?  Because I fell in love with Augustus and Hazel and cared about them.  Whether or not what they said was authentic for their age, it was authentic for humans in that situation.  They spoke not just of fear and pain and unknowing, but also of questions that we all ask about our purpose and direction and destination.  The characters were in love and so the readers love them too.  Not a technically masterful book but a wonderful read.<br/><br/>April 27, 2012.  I have read the book twice more since this review was initially posted.  I am very far past ""young adult"" but the characters inhabited my heart again just as they did the first time i read it.  What I said above about the language not being authentic for teens is still correct but what i have decided is that the dialogue is how teens - or at least these teens - should talk.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R317B9UQPK00PI?ASIN=014242417X	Raw, gripping, and tragic: certainly a book for the ages.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I knew going into The Fault in Our Stars that this was going to be one of those books that had me completely raw and broken at the end. Even so, I was not prepared for how thoroughly John Green did this--and I loved every second of it.<br/>Hazel Grace Lancaster has been terminal since she was thirteen years old. Whether she would die was never a question; now, with the ""miracle drug"" Phalanxifor shrinking her tumors and keeping her cancer under control, the question is when she will die. Hazel's reaction to this is not unreasonable--she sinks into torpor, watches tons of America's Next Top Model, reads her favorite book and waits.<br/>Then, she meets Augustus Waters, gorgeous Survivor with a capital S, and slowly but surely, she begins to fall in love.<br/>Overall, this story is a beautiful one--life affirming, even, despite the death which hangs over so many of the character's heads throughout the course of the book. The characters are very real and very raw; they are not the stereotypical ""brave"" cancer patient that Hazel details at several points in the book. They are brave, for sure, but they are also broken, afraid, lonely, and angry. Not a single character in this book is spared from the harsh reality of the ending--even the non-sufferers are affected, just as is the case in real-life cancer cases. And at the very heart of the story, there is a romance between two doomed children who haven't really had the chance to experience life, and who are determined to do so one way or another. Mixed in with all this bleakness are sparkling moments rather like the titular stars, the hilarious and heartwarming blended smoothly with the darkness and blood and Hazel Lancaster's struggling breaths. John Green has definitely crafted a book for the ages here, and there is not a person in this world that would not benefit from reading it.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2GFU0NW8220E4?ASIN=014242417X	Into the YA Pantheon It Goes...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">With THE FAULT IN OUR STARS, John Green goes where angels fear to tread into cancer literature. One gets visions (OK, nightmares) of LOVE STORY and begins to shiver.<br/><br/>Fear not, however. This YA novel for ages 9 to 999 (hey, every infinity is different) skirts the treacle with remarkable success. A smash-mouth cancer parable, it hits the Big C from a teenaged point of view, starting in a support group for teens with cancer and ending with an unlikely love dalliance between winsome girl Hazel and charismatic boy Augustus. Beautiful, growing people scarred with ugly, growing diseases.<br/><br/>This book is character driven all the way. Voice? In spades. Personality? You'll forget it's a fictional construct. Plot? We'll leave that to the cancer, which has an annoying tendency of unfolding and climaxing with formulaic endings. Still, if all infinities differ, then we ALL have the Big C in some metaphorical sense: call it the ""Big D"" as in Date with Death. No wonder our heroes stay at an Amsterdam hotel named after philosophers at one point.<br/><br/>Interestingly, Salinger's THE CATCHER IN THE RYE comes up in this book. I say interestingly because Hazel's voice is reminiscent of Phoebe Caulfield's (eight years later and saddled with cancer, that is) -- wise, bittersweet, precocious in many ways. But Hazel is an only child, an extremely sensitive one who worries about what will become of her parents after she dies and worries even more about her coming-like-a-freight-train relationship with Gus, because she is a ""grenade"" who will some day (soon) go off, harming those who love her in ways she'd rather not fathom. Worse still, Gus's last girlfriend died of cancer, too. Putting him through it twice, she figures, is reason to retreat. Only love doesn't listen to the language of retreat.<br/><br/>Giving the book a quixotic but beautiful subplot is Hazel's obsession with a book and its loose ends. It's author, an alcoholic genius named Van Houten, lives in Amsterdam. When the two use up a ""wish"" to travel to the Netherlands and meet this man, unexpected events unfold. Better still, these events, this man's book, and the philosophies beneath it give THE FAULT IN OUR STARS more gravitas still. Again, it reminded me of Holden Caulfield's wish to call up authors he admires, only he never acts on it. Hazel and Gus do. It falls under the ""be careful what you wish for"" department.<br/><br/>Beautiful book. Into the Pantheon of Great YA Books it goes. And like THE BOOK THIEF, it's one of those YA books that will resonate as much with adults as teens, so click your shopping cart no matter what your age. It was my fate to read it and now I hope it will be yours.<br/><br/>See? The stars aren't ALWAYS crossed (Romeo and Juliet notwithstanding...).</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R25LSSI3AL5JAW?ASIN=014242417X	Coffee For The Brain Book Reviews	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Last weekend I started my adventure of another John Green novel. I was so excited and made a post about my reading style for this novel(nice and slow).<br/><br/>Friday night I finished this book. I had to finish. I was sitting at a crucial part of the story and just had to know how it ended. There are tons of reviews out there about this book. I have yet to see any who have not enjoyed this book. My goal is try offer something that does not sound like the rest.<br/><br/>I have given pause to think about why I like his novels so much. What is it that keeps me coming back to his material? I think it comes down to a few things that are essential.<br/><br/>1. His online presence - I look so forward to his videos with his brother. The videos have nothing to do with this books, but you are able to gain a glimpse into the mind of John Green. His rants about Catcher in the Rye or Great Gatsby show how intelligent he is. The videos also provide me a sense of his witty humor which help to bring his words to life when I read them.<br/><br/>2. His writing style - is loaded with witty dialogue. He can capture a communication scene between two characters about the most simplest of things and make your head spin. I don't know if everyone enjoys this type of thing, but I live for it. For example(not a spoiler), the discussion in TFIOS about eggs for breakfast is such a clever dialogue scene and one in which I had to stop and think about. Why are eggs considered ""breakfast""? Mindblowing!<br/><br/>3. Authentic - is the only word I could think of to describe this final part of his writing, but I feel like there might be a better word out there. John Green does not try too hard to catch his reader off guard or go for the shock factor. He writes real life. This characters come to life on the pages and you cannot help but connect emotions with the characters. It is just a skill he possesses where you feel like his characters are real. He is not writing with a system that so many authors use anymore just to sell books. This book took him a long time to write. Did he rush? No, he took the time to write the story he wanted and it worked.<br/><br/>This book was awesome! I did not see a few things coming and when they happened it was only the obvious choice to go, but with my attachment to certain characters I wanted something else. When I finished I realized that my wishes would not have worked.<br/><br/>I have about 15 passages marked in my signed copy of the book. I really want to share them, but don't want to risk any spoilers to the reader who has not read or finished the book. However, this book will make it to my bookshelf of keepers along with his others. I have no choice but to go back and read his novels all over again to see what other parts of the stories I have missed.<br/><br/>I give this book 5/5. It was the perfect read for me. It brought me back to reading YA and fiction. However, it is hard to find another book to read following this one.<br/><br/>If you have not read this book, please do because it is so worth your time. If you have not read John Green, then you are missing out on some amazing characters.<br/><br/>Perhaps a book club on this novel is in order? I might have to work on organizing this for an online group.<br/><br/>Thank you John Green for making another lasting impression in my life with your stories. I look forward to discussing this book with others in Nerdfighteria.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1JZ2MPJZTBMTN?ASIN=014242417X	Inklings Read Reviews: The Fault in Our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars is absolutely brilliant. It is perfect... Though it may be early to make this claim, it could possibly be my favorite book of the year! It's always difficult for me to write reviews on books that I love this much. I feel that I can never quite do them justice. I will let a quote from The Fault in Our Stars describe it for me:<br/><br/>""Sometimes, you read a book and it fills you with this weird evangelical zeal, and you become convinced that the shattered world will never be put back together unless and until all living humans read the book."" - The Fault in Our Stars, by John Green<br/><br/>That's exactly how I feel...  All of us have had our lives touched in some shape or form by cancer. Whether it be watching an actor fight it or a family member, It's not a foreign thing to us. This book is not just about Hazel and Augustus, it's about humanity. Anyone who reads this will be able to find some truth in Green's words. Yes, I have never read any of his previous books... *GASP* I know, crazy right? But this experience has made me contemplate why have let such a gem of a writer go unread for so long... Green's writing is beautiful, poetic, and completely genius!<br/><br/>Green wrote about a dark subject and yet maintained some glimmer of hope throughout. While this story did make me cry, it did not devastate me. In fact, it was extremely inspirational. The characters were easy to love, understand, and relate to. I couldn't get enough the playful banter between Hazel and Augustus! Even living on borrowed time, their relationship progressed naturally and developed into a beautiful, deep love.<br/><br/>I cannot forget to mention the phenomenal narrator of this audiobook, Kate Rudd. It would have been easy for the narrator to take the emotion too far and overdue it. But not Kate! She portrayed the perfect amount of emotion in every single situation. That narration was so real and believable, that it only added to the beauty of Green's words! She is genuinely talented.<br/><br/>The Fault in Our Stars left me with what can only be described as ""that wow feeling."" As readers, you all know what I'm talking about: When you sit silently for awhile after finishing a book because you are so in awe of what you had just experienced. You don't just read or listen to this book, you experience it in the deepest sense... It will make you want to live your life differently! It will change you. And it has certainly set the bar high for the rest of the upcoming YA books this year. The Fault in Our Stars receives my highest recommendation for any reader, regardless of genre!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2B9ZSXEUPZZGW?ASIN=014242417X	Outstanding Narration, Devastatingly Honest	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Kate Rudd did a phenomenal, outstanding job narrating this highly emotional read. Considering the subject matter and the emotionally charged nature of this book, it would have been so easy to overdo the narration. But Kate Rudd's performance was perfection, bringing to life these amazing characters and telling this heart-wrenching story so naturally that it was as if I was listening to Hazels private thoughts. And yes, I could still recognize a great narration even when I don't know how I heard anything over the sobbing mess I was reduced to throughout this book. I highly recommend this audiobook experience to anyone that is interested in reading this book.<br/><br/>The story itself, well, I mean its John Green so of course it was amazing. I love this man's writing. It's like he effortlessly creates these wonderfully realistic characters; characters that I'd want to know, that I'd want to become friends with. And by the end of the book, I feel like I DO know them and that we've been friends forever and I'm so emotionally entwined in the story that its actually difficult to move on to another book when it is over. I felt like that with Will Grayson, Will Grayson, and I certainly feel like that with this incredible book.<br/><br/>I don't know that there are many of us whose lives have not been touched in some way by cancer, but even if it hasn't, almost everybody has lost a loved one too early and has felt the utter unfairness of that loss. The Fault in Our Stars is the story of several kids suffering from cancer and is told from their perspective. It is unapologetically and brutally honest, morbidly humorous, simply just real. This book was so filled with unfiltered truth that it was almost uncomfortable to read in some places. But I still recommend that you do.<br/><br/>By the end of this book, I had cried so many tears that the front of my shirt was wet, and days later I'm still tearing up as I recall the story while I write this review. The Fault in Our stars was a powerful, emotionally intense, and incredibly important read. I highly recommend it to anyone regardless of genre.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R149DWUG1B30MG?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault In Our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars<br/> John Green's The Fault in Our Stars follows the story of sixteen year-old cancer patient on her quest to have a normal life.  The story deals with not only her own personal tragedy of having cancer, but also the complications of her cancer to those she closest to.<br/> Hazel Grace Lancaster has been dealing with cancer for years in her young life.  The cancer has metastasized to her lungs; therefore, an absolute cure is not an option for Hazel.  Yet, Hazel longs for a normal teenager's life, filled love, hope, and freedom.  She finds her first love in Augustus Waters, who is later revealed to have a severe complication of his osteo sarcoma that has spread to essentially all his major organs.  Augustus' tragic death is a major trial for Hazel to get over.  Yet, Augustus' life only meant something because Hazel loved him from his point of view.<br/> While Hazel may come off as pessimistic in the book about her cancer, she is absolutely hopeful about the futures of those she loves.  She desires her parents to be able to live normal lives after her passing.  Even though her desire for her mother to have a normal life comes across as ungrateful for her help, it's truly so that Hazel does not have to feel like a burden.  She can visual her parents futures without her as though where they still succeed in life, instead of falling into the pit of despair that is her disease.<br/>John Green tells Hazel's story with frank honesty.  Hazel is not a saint just because she has cancer.  She has moments of being a terrible child like all teenagers.  However, the true magic of John Green's story is the passion Hazel has for life.  She wants to live, even if it is a modified version due to her physical limitations, despite knowing death so well.  Her passion extends to not only her life, but the life of those around her.  At one point in the book, Hazel becomes irate with her mother; because she feels that her mother is becoming entirely the care taker of a disease.  Hazel finds great comfort that her mother has started taking courses for master's degree, instead of solely focusing on her disease.<br/> Hazel desires freedom.  Her desire for freedom not only from her physical limitations that arise from her cancer, but also the emotional complications that arise due to her disease.  At one point, Hazel is given the opportunity to go to Amersterdam to visit her favorite author with Augustus.  However, some of Hazel's doctors feel that the risk of flying a patient who is on oxygen and is the first successful patient on an experimental drug is too great.  Hazel's physical limitations threaten to stop her from getting the closure she needs to move on from her obsession of her favorite book.<br/> John Green's true strength in the books arise the in the blatant honesty that the disease is given to each of the characters.  Some of the characters live, and go onto live normal happy lives.  Yet, would the success stories of some the characters mean anything mean anything without the loss of other characters?  The loss of Augustus reiterates the desire of life for Hazel.  At times, it may seem that the book has lost hope, but it always comes back as in life.  I would recommend this book to anyone who has ever known the real beauty of life arises from the pain that we feel in tragedy and our trials are what shape as individuals.  I would also like warn future viewers that the books mentioned within The Fault in Our Stars are not real books, which is the only real disappointment of the book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R367G5DTKW4PHO?ASIN=014242417X	I felt this book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I tend to be a picky reader and except for my love of all things Stephen King, I tend to read almost exclusively from the non-fiction genre. I fault no one for enjoying other genres, they are just not my thing.<br/><br/>My  biggest problem with fiction is that while I know the story is a creation from the mind of a word artist, I want to believe it is real.It has to seem like it could happen. I want to be able to think about the story and see the action going on in my mind. A lot of fiction just fall flat there. The words don't seem like dialogue I would share, and the actions of characters often do not seem like those of anyone I would want to hang out with. Hence, I avoid fake stories.I don't like fake fur, fake eyelashes, or fake emotion either. I want to read a book that matters.<br/><br/>The Fault in Ours Stars matters. This story is so real, I could feel it, I could picture it, it surrounded me and it made me cry. This book felt completely authentically written by a teen age girl, and I consider myself an expert on girlness having once been a teen aged girl and now a mother. The two teenagers could have been anyone's son or daughter, and though I am so thankful they were not my children,they were so real, they could have been. I was particularly moved by the parents and their own suffering over the illness of their children, their probable deaths and the heartache only we parents feel when we cannot protect our children. This story is poignant and funny, down to earth and completely enjoyable even when it makes you cry.<br/><br/>None of John Green's novels are bad, in fact they are all quite good (though I haven't read Will Grayson, Will Grayson yet), and I mean no insult when I say his books get better, and better each time, but truly, this book is unequivocally his best. It is truly beautiful in its humor, its realism and its pain. I am so glad I read it. I would recommend it to readers of nearly any age because it is everything like real life.<br/><br/>On a side note, in an age when young people have some very unrealistic role models- athletes who use steroids, super models who offer impossible body images, celebrities who get married for five minutes or spend more time in rehab than they do their own homes,and politicians who spend more time criticizing each other than they will ever spend on healing our nation. When there is very little encouragement from the world to be yourself, John Green and his brother Hank Green are two men who stand up for all the things that ought to be encouraged. Such as kindness, and being true to yourself, accepting your awesomeness! They are imperfect and successful at what they do. They are outspoken, yet thoughtful, intelligent and weird. Extremely caring about their fans and concerned about the world they live in. I can think of few better role models- they are filled with awesome.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3MSY1ZASJJBXS?ASIN=014242417X	My letter to John Green :)	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Dear John Green,<br/><br/>Did you start out writing The Fault in Our Stars hoping to break every reader's heart into tiny-tiny miniscule pieces? I guess it doesn't really matter, but you succeeded John. At least for me and I'm guessing anyone else who picks up your book, they will be emotionally crushed when they close TFiOS after reading the last page.<br/><br/>John, fellow Hoosier, I enjoyed an Indiana setting. Even though I live in a part of the state that some people may feel is more a part of Chicago, Illinois than Indiana, I still enjoyed a story written set in my home state.<br/><br/>Thank you John, for including those couple of charts/diagrams in TFiOS. In many ways, I think your readers expect to have those or footnotes in your stories. Honestly, I almost wish you would have included more of them...just because you can.<br/><br/>John, you are probably the most quotable author I've read. You've probably been told that on numerous occasions, but I figured I would stroke your ego a bit and tell you once again. I won't be sharing my favorites with you today, because I think people need to read your quotes while reading your books, not beforehand.<br/><br/>John, I think I love Augustus Waters more than I love Tiny Cooper from Will Grayson, Will Grayson. I always knew Tiny was a character I will never be able to forget, but I just added another character to that list. You made such memorable characters in Hazel and Augustus and I thank you for that. You made me wish I was more like them when I was their age, besides the having cancer of course. I enjoyed the witty banter between the two of them, it made me smile while other parts of the book left me in tears.<br/><br/>John, thank you for signing the first printing of The Fault in Our Stars. You are the man! Just a tip: Maybe next time, include a travel size package of tissues. They are a necessity.<br/><br/>After you finished writing TFiOS, did you know it was the best novel you've ever written? In my non-expert opinion, it is the best book I've read of yours. I guess I should be honest and say I haven't read Paper Towns yet, and word on the street is that's your best book to some. I hope you win some big kick-ass awards for this book. If you don't, I will be completely ticked-off.<br/><br/>John, your book has made a lasting impression on me. I'm sitting her writing you this letter feeling emotionally drained and replaying your words again and again through my mind. I will not soon forget what was written in The Fault in Our Stars.<br/><br/>Keep on doing what you're doing because it works,<br/><br/>Jacinda</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1OPCTIDRWLVJT?ASIN=014242417X	File Under: Things that are good.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I am not a John Green fan. To be honest, it kind of freaked me out that a thirty-four year-old man would write a novel from the perspective of a sixteen-year-old female with a condition he probably does not have. I tossed away Alaska after paragraphs upon paragraphs of romanticized language cultured to make teenage girls swoon. (""I was drizzle and she was hurricane""-- I mean, come ON.) I'd heard of the release of this novel on Tumblr, where Nerdfighters praised its soon-to-be existence and droned on and on about their excitement. The cover put me off, looking a bit juvenile for my own taste, but alas, the jacket was detached and I was bored at a birthday party and found this book and hastily read the first page.<br/><br/>I was immediately drawn in.<br/><br/>I'm not sure what it was about this novel, but I knew it was different. Something got to me and my heart and my head that made me confused in every sense of the word. Maybe I was encumbered by strong teenage vocabularies or that the characters were the kind of characters who would make fun of a disabled man because they know he wouldn't be offended by the joke. I felt them and I loved them. It wasn't the kind of character affection that made me want to be Harry, Ron and Hermione, who lived in a world I would not be allowed in. It wasn't Gena Showalter's Oh My Goth, which took place at a regular high school, but made its point with some weird science-fictiony twist (and a devastatingly poor method of analyzing stereotypes). It was not A Raisin In The Sun, which I must say was brilliant, but in a time and place I would never grow up to know. Something about this novel was real and it made me feel things I didn't know I could feel.<br/><br/>I can't remember the last time I cried reading a work of fiction or the last time I wanted to pick a book up and read it again. You will cry and laugh and cry again and you will feel angry and sad and mad at the world, and if you're anything like me, you're going to want to cradle this book in your arms and stroke its spine saying, ""Everything will be okay."" You will talk forever about it and you will analyze every word in its string of more words and you will know that everything was meant to be there. I might sound crazy to those who have not read it, but those who have will understand completely.<br/><br/>Probably none of that made any sense because I'm still trapped in that mental desolation that you get after reading a good book. That should tell you everything you need to know.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R4OQO9JDC3LF7?ASIN=014242417X	I LOVE IT!!!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This review is just going to be a gush-fest, I know it.<br/><br/>John Green is a writer that has yet to disappoint. His words hold more power than any other author's work that I've had the pleasure of reading. I love all of his books, this one taking first place, and recommend them all to anyone willing to listen. The Fault in Our Stars is a hopeful journey, taking a twist that I didn't see coming, and with enough emotion to make anyone feel for these characters.<br/><br/>Augustus and Hazel's story is one of my favorites, probably my favorite. And, I must add, I have never before cried so much in a single book, but I knew going into it that I would be crying like a baby.<br/><br/>Hazel is living on borrowed time, but she isn't really living. She doesn't have friends, at least not any that understand what she's going through, until she gives a boy with a gorgeous smile a chance. Augustus is a charming and worthy candidate of Hazel. Together they discover so much about themselves and the world around them. Augustus teaches Hazel how to go for things and together they live.<br/><br/>I love Augustus' attitude, he was always making me smile. I have so many favorite parts of this book and I feel like everyone should read it and find their own favorites, but I love Augustus. Everything about him makes me grin. He's an amazing amazing person and friend and I hope to one day know someone with his remarkable attitude and witty humor. He and Hazel have this way to talk to each other back and forth that is adorable banter. If for nothing read this book for that.<br/><br/>It's the kind of book that makes me want to get up and do something extremely meaningful with my life. I think it will make any reader reevaluate the things they love and those they take for granted. There is so much more to this story and all I want to say is READ IT, read all of John's work because frankly, what have you got to lose?<br/>I Love, Love, Love it</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R140I8J1ZQXI2I?ASIN=014242417X	I was reluctant...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Traditionally, I'm not one to conform to pop culture. I like to find books prior to their popularity and treasure them before anyone else has the chance. I considered reading TFIOS before it was popular, but became engaged in another series before I had the chance to catch it prior to it's immense popularity. Recently, I struggled with the indecision to read this novel that was causing widespread dysphoria across the world. I'd seen trailers online, friends had read the book and given spoilers, those same friends were the ones chanting ""read it, read it"" every chance they got, I'd heard girls gushing over it going down Campus Walk to and from classes and all of these combined made me shy away from something with such a fan base.<br/><br/>With all of this being said, I bought the book on Friday and finished reading it on Saturday morning. I laughed at the light-hearted humor and I cried when I least expected to. In fact, I already knew how it was going to end, thanks to those chanting friends, and told myself that there was no way I was going to cry, but I was wrong. You can't help but cry. It's truly a beautiful story of a love that can never last. Amid all of my reluctance, I enjoyed this book. I won't say that it's 'the best novel of all time' because in my opinion it isn't. However, coming from someone who never expected to read this novel, it's worth a read. Even if you're set on hating it because it's so popular, (just like I was) read it. Just give it a try because John Green has a knack for writing and I believe it should be shared. Don't read it because everyone is doing it, but rather read it for the story and read it for yourself. Don't let your reluctance get in the way of enjoying this novel.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1OBBQ4D9CRGIL?ASIN=014242417X	A MUST-READ!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">With each passing page I read in this book the lump in my throat got bigger and bigger.<br/><br/>The Fault in Our Stars is a book I feel privileged to have read and would whole-heartedly recommend for everyone to read.<br/><br/>There’s nothing inherently new about the tale being told here. Boy meets girl and falls in love with girl who falls in love with boy despite some very challenging circumstances. Where this book differs from most books out there trying to tell the same story is the way the author – John Green – beautifully captures the voice of the main protagonist, Hazel Grace and makes us FEEL every single high and low moment she suffers as a normal teenage girl but diagnosed with terminal cancer. Augustus Waters a.k.a. Gus, is the very charming and attractive gentleman who captures Hazel's heart. Gus's passion for life is very contagious and it fills every page. I have to say there was a very, very important moment in Amsterdam that really took me by surprise and I had to go back to reread the previous pages. It almost slid under my radar but it was a MOMENT and I feel like the author could have made that moment more impactful as it changed everything. Readers of the book will know what I'm talking about. Maybe it's just me but that moment deserved more bells and whistles... in my humble opinion.<br/><br/>You will find many laugh out loud moments plus quite a few ‘Oh No! moments as you read this book. There are many positive and inspiring messages in this book. I think it’s a celebration of life and a celebration of love. I’ll give myself a few months before watching the movie as I'm not yet ready to have Hollywood dilute the experience.<br/><br/>A MUST-READ! Please do grab a copy today.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3UZDNPMIMVLBV?ASIN=014242417X	A Wonderful Story Featuring Heartbreak and Hope	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I listened to this book via audiobook and it was great. The narrarator was perfect for the story. There is an author interview at the end where Green mentions that he recorded an audiobook version for his fans, with him reading it, because some fans wanted to hear him reading it. While I can understand that, I do believe that this book, being told from a female character's point of view, definitely benefited from Kate Rudd being the voice.<br/><br/>The story is based on a girl named Hazel, who is terminally ill, and it also features other characters in similar situations, it isn't all tears. That doesn't mean that no tears were shed in listening to Hazel's story. There were more than a few times where I had to suck it up and dry my eyes. Luckily it isn't heavy handed and there were many lighthearted and fun moments.<br/><br/>Hazel's character is the most developed, but the others that enter her world are no less worthy of mention. From those friends that only made short appearances to characters such as Gus that became a mainstay in Hazel's world, they were all so well written and so well rounded. No one was perfect, everyone was realistic as a person. This is what made the story feel fuller and true. This could have been someone's autobiography.<br/><br/>As an adult, I've never been shy in reading young adult books and this book is a prime example of why. Just because this story features teenagers as the main characters, doesn't mean it isn't a story worthy of being read by people of all ages. It's touching and charming, heartbreaking and delightful, and one not to be missed.<br/><br/>Book Received: For free from publisher in exchange for an honest review<br/>Reviewed by Jessica for Book Sake</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1FX6T722A8PBU?ASIN=014242417X	4 platypires	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">My sister, Jessalyn, has been talking about this book since basically the beginning of time.  I once borrowed it from her, but I was bad and never actually read it.  I'm horrible at reading print books, it turns out.<br/><br/>So, when I saw it was on Amazon for only 99¢, I bought it.  ...but I never got around to reading it - because I had this thing where I was only reading what was expected of me and not what I wanted to read (it's one of my goals for this year)<br/><br/>Finally, about a month ago, I'm given a giftcard to audible.  I see it's one of the whisper sync deals, and I buy the audio version.  I am going to freaking finish this book if it kills me!<br/><br/>And I absolutely love reading along with audiobooks, so that totally happened.  And it was fabulous.<br/><br/>It's a pretty good book, I don't disagree.  But I think I was built up too much, and it was a bit of a disappointment in some aspects.  I did really like how it was able to show that it is okay for characters to not be perfect/healthy/happy people.  For that, I totally appreciated this story.  There are much too many books about that are afraid to use anyone outside of what society views as the norm, and I found this story a sort of relief away from all of that.<br/><br/>Also, I totally cried.  I was sitting in my living room listening/reading while my husband was playing Minecraft and my spawn was eating his dinner... and I'm trying hard to hide the fact that there was a large quantity of liquid falling from my eyes.  I failed.  My cats even noticed, and they came over to give me pity cuddles.<br/><br/>This is a good book.  I did really enjoy it.  I do someday plan on watching the movie to do a sort of comparison.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1RVX8EGQTT5Y2?ASIN=014242417X	A true coming of age novel....	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I am on a never-ending quest to find good books for my middle-schooler to read. Reading is my passion, and it has proven more difficult than I ever imagined to engage my 12 year old in reading.  Since he is required to read five books per grading period, I am constantly on the lookout for something to engage him.<br/><br/>Although I bought this book for my child, I ended up reading it prior to passing it along.  This was an incredibly thought-provoking book which although the subject matter on the surface is grim (children dying of cancer is tragic, no matter how you look at it), it ended up being a life-affirming book.  I found myself marking passage after passage as my ""a-ha moments"".  Somehow I wanted my children to understand what I had found compelling about this book when it is their turn to read it.<br/><br/>The most overwhelming message I took from this book is that we all matter, and we're all important.  Most of us would like to be remembered for some kind of huge, front-page contribution to society, but this book reminds us that every single one of us touches others lives in ways we cannot even imagine.  Just by living, we're creating a legacy for ourselves, and it is our jobs to live well, no matter what the situation.<br/><br/>My oldest picked this up last night and said ""ugh - a love story - no way"".  I suggested that it's much more than a love story and that he read fifty pages of it; if he is not interested, forget about it.  My hunch is that he will be compelled to read this through to the end.  I'm looking forward to having some meaningful and substantive discussions with him when he's finished.  Then, it'll be on our shelf until my youngest is old enough to wade into it.</span>"

I know that teens are the target audience for the book, but I enjoyed it regardless of my advanced age (although I would have loved this book so much more had I read it as a teen).<br/><br/>I'm amazed at how deftly John Green handled elements in the novel that could have turned out mawkish or pseudo-intellectual in lesser hands; the love story works, as does the inclusion of the Peter Van Houten novel, An Imperial Affliction.  I'm currently teaching Tim O'Brien's The Things They Carried to 11th graders and I'm surprised how much that book has in common with John Green's TFIOS:  both deal with mortality and our ways of denying/dealing with death, both novels examine the nature of storytelling and how truth can be approached through fabrication, and both deal unflinchingly with the unpleasant reality of dying.<br/><br/>My main quibble with Green's style is how his characters speak either as sitcom characters or grad school philosophy majors, exhibiting a sophistication and self-awareness way beyond their years.  In this novel, this method works; teens with cancer develop would naturally be forced to examine life's meaning and temporality given what they are up against.  Plus, these characters are smarter than average kids (and more literate in the case of Hazel).<br/><br/>But enough analyzing - TFIOS works as a full blown romance, the kind that is unembarrassed to dance, shout and make a fool of itself.  Readers can't help being swept up in the love story - the Amsterdam section is brilliant.<br/>John Green has created a classic young adult novel - a classic novel, period.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2DP82PN2PQ5NZ?ASIN=014242417X	Gorgeous	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I bought this book a few months ago, but it took me a while to build up the courage to read it. Reading about cancer is a difficult thing for me to do, as cancer has touched my own life several times and the subject hits pretty close to home. But upon seeing nothing but glowing reviews for The Fault in Our Stars, I knew that I had to read it.<br/><br/>Both Hazel and Augustus are fantastic characters - perfectly suited to each other, their personalities are both smart and sarcastic, a combination that I love. Hazel's negativity is sympathetically portrayed - in a girl that isn't living on borrowed time it would be irritating, but for someone that has lived with a spectre over their head for years, it's understandable and refreshing - anyone that lives with a ticking clock would struggle to be positive and sunny all the time.<br/><br/>I particularly enjoyed the trip to Amsterdam that they took (the mention of the town that I live in had me tickled pink), because I knew the places they went to and the experiences they had were pretty close to reality. Those trees in autumn really screw with my allergies.<br/><br/>John Green writes a simple story, but keeps the focus on the characters and their experiences, both good and bad. The Fault in Our Stars is nothing if not a page turner, and I challenge anyone not to care deeply for the characters, and to keep their emotions in check whilst reading this.<br/><br/>As a book about battling cancer, it's not all fun times and puppies, but even the sadder moments are written sympathetically, without being condescending. And although this was a difficult book for me to read, I'm so glad I overcame my fears and took the plunge.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2KX6T9EM1MHYJ?ASIN=014242417X	Few words written at 5:04 in the morning	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I think this deserves a five because it truly was an amazing book, filled with thousands of thoughts all crammed into a single story. However, I too now feel like Hazel Grace, wondering what becomes of her (Hazel) and if her cancer eventually kills her soon or far from soon? Does she fall in love again? My questions are endless, but even if I wrote a dozen letters to John Green, I already know he'd probably just sigh and think something like, ""there is no sequel, there is no ending."" I feel as if he wouldn't say something along the lines of, ""use your imagination,"" for he seems too.. intelligent? Anyways, I honestly did not shed a tear during this book until.. I won't spoil it, but if you read this, you too will shed a tear at that very spot. I didn't shed a tear because I understood. There are humans, then there are the mutations who seem to have no value to the other's brains, even though we are more valuable than you believe for it to be so. We mutations are the side effects, just as stated in the fine print in Peter Van Houten's hastily words. I am not going to cause you to mope due to well, what I wrote above. Basically, I understand. I understand that the universe needs to be heard and I understand that we all live to believe we will never pass, when each day we're stepping closer to encountering that very ""Last Good Day"". And so, I will leave this review on that note. Read it, not because it's only ""awesome"" or ""heart-touching"", instead because you might finally understand some of the world and the life that roams on this planet. Thank you for taking your precious time into reading my essay long review.<br/>p.s. don't watch the movie BEFORE you read the book</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3Q8886DF0OR6O?ASIN=014242417X	Made me cry and laugh the most out of any book this year	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Everyone was making a big fuss about The Fault in our Stars. I read the Amazon synopsis. It’s about kids with cancer. So I was expecting something lighthearted, right? Well it was quite a bit more lighthearted than I thought it would be. But still. I think it may have surpassed the famed 1996 reading of Where the Red Fern Grows for “most tears making it out of eyes.” But it also inspired more actual laughter than anything else I have encountered by myself in my new studio. It may be a very sad book, but it is the perfect vehicle for the philosophical insights John Green weaves into both story and text.<br/><br/>I am always wary of books written by middle-aged men told from the point of view of a young girl. John Green did an excellent job. There were some phrases which I didn’t think a 16 year old girl would really say, but some of that may be a regional dialect I’m not familiar with. Also the first person did not bother me as much as it usually does, say in The Hunger Games. I don’t know if I could just relate to Hazel more than I did to Katniss or if John Green’s writing was just more what I’m used to (i.e. academic) so the first person was less jolting. But either way, the first person just blended into the story and didn’t bother me.<br/><br/>Read this book. But read it alone. The emotions I experienced were not proper for displaying on public transportation or a coffee shop. You’ll want to experience the emotions, not suppress them. It was worth it. Feel ALL THE THINGS. But perhaps you won’t want people interrupting the flow of the story to ask why you’re crying or sniggering. Maybe you will. It would be good publicity for The Fault in Our Stars, I guess.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RBJW5NH169EAV?ASIN=014242417X	Okay	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Okay is a reference to this more than ""okay"" love story and not the quality of the story. The story is actually a beautiful one. I became caught up in it's subtlety and isn't it as most love stories happen...girl meets boy, boy stares at girl, boy and girl fall in love. Only these characters aren't regular...far from it.<br/><br/>Both Hazel Grace and Augustus Waters have cancer (at least some form of it at various times) who meet at a support group. Their spheres of living are small and they are drawn to each other. One reviewer marked that they aren't like regular teenagers and they're right. It is easy to get lost in the venacular just like it was back when Dawson's Creek first started but even that becomes easy to forget as you become more deeply invested in these characters individually and as a couple.<br/><br/>I thought I would easily finish this book without shedding one tear but I was completely wrong!! Love and death demand emotion and emotion is what this book gave me. The sadness of tragedy and loss; knowing that we are all grenades waiting to go off, planets ready to explode.<br/><br/>I finished the book wanting these two characters to be real and I'm so glad the author did not end the way An Imperial Affliction ended!! I would have written the author, much like Hazel did demanding answers!<br/><br/>Now, I ask myself what book can follow this one? It's the type of book that needs a couple of days to get over the pain; to let my heart mend before starting another journey with new characters who aren't Augustus and Hazel.<br/><br/>This is a wonderful, heart rending book about sickness, life, loss and love. The only way after this book is UP.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RWQ0UJ5113PC9?ASIN=014242417X	You'll Laugh and You'll Cry	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Perhaps it's just me, though the main focus being a teenaged cancer patient leads me to think otherwise, but I did a lot of crying toward the end of this book.  That is not, in any way, a shortfall - I think that when words on a page can move a person to tears, it's a pretty resounding endorsement of said words on said pages.  I'd be remiss if I forgot to mention that I did a lot of laughing as well.<br/><br/>After a long reading dry spell I thought this book would be a good way to ease back into literature.  It sure was - a moving story, real characters, plot twists, hope, honesty, young love, sarcasm, and a whole lot of end-of-life coping, it really had it all.  I breezed through the story in two days and spent another day or so recuperating.<br/><br/>The story focuses on two teenagers, Hazel who has cancer, and Augustus who is in remission.  They meet in a support group and spark a friendship immediately.  The plot follows the two in their changing relationship with one another, the progression of their diseases, and a bit of an offshoot about Hazel's favorite book and its writer.  The characters aren't completely believable at first, but I had to remind myself that we find them in extreme circumstances.  Immediately upon reading the book I found myself thinking, ""I sure wasn't like this when I was 16.""  To which I immediately retorted, ""obviously.""  They are living a reality that very few do and are therefore extraordinary people.  Wise beyond their years.<br/><br/>I read this book when I was 23 years-old but can see it being enjoyed by anyone from (a mature) 13 to 102 years of age.  I urge you to laugh and cry as, certainly, every other reader has.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3R0I1ESLNUV8N?ASIN=014242417X	Crying. Legitimately crying.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">If you have  not already, click the buy button immediately, head to Barnes and Noble, or run to your nearest library PRONTO, ASAP, whatever other synonyms for those words.<br/><br/>John Green. This book deserves more than five stars, more than infinity stars for the matter. I can't. I just can't. I don't even know where to begin.<br/><br/>Generally, when you think of a cancer book, or any other book where a tragic illness is acquired, you think, “ Oh my God, this is Fitz going to be one of those depressing books where they just don't get better ans they're just going to die and I'm going to be a crying mess on the floor while my parents look at me like there's something wrong with me or that I need psychological help."" Yes, and no.<br/><br/>No, this wasn't depressing. Yes, one of the characters doesn't get better and eventually dies. And yes, I did get teary-eyed and almost break down on the ground. But I think this cancer book is freaking spectacular and not at all depressing. But I have to admit: at the end of the book, it felt incomplete. But I think that that was the point. In the novel, they refer to ""An Imperial Affiliation"" a lot. And they talk about how the novel just ends, mid-sentence. TFIOS doesn't end mid-sentence, but at the end, j felt myself wondering what happened to the other characters, just like Augustus and Hazel had.<br/><br/>TFIOS has everything {and more, actually} that every good story needs: Humor, Love and Romance, Conflict, and a little bit of tragedy and death. All in all, point of this review is that you need to go read it. And if you don't like it...I don't know what to say to you because you SHOULD like it. Enough said.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R399XI4LUDK9U1?ASIN=014242417X	Believe the hype	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I approach heavily hyped books (particularly in the YA genre) with not just great caution, but nearly an expectation that it could never live up to it. That being said, I do keep an open mind and like to judge things for myself, which is how I was happily proven wrong about the most talked-about book of 2012, ""The Fault in Our Stars"" by John Green. ""Really, Time Magazine?"" I thought. ""#1 book of the year?"" Well, I wouldn't go that far but this really is a case where you should believe the hype. It certainly would have made my Top Ten list had I read it in time.<br/><br/>The book is done a disservice by its generic plot summary about two cancer-ridden kids who fall in love and examine their lives, come to terms with dying, etc. Yes, that's been done a million times, and I too was afraid this book would just be another rehash of that so-called emotional journey. Green surprised me by taking Hazel and Augustus on a quite literal journey to track down the elusive author of her favorite book instead. It's part dying-wish, part youthful-curiosity, and the globe-trotting result is unexpected, exciting, romantic, tragic and meaingful.<br/><br/>""The Fault in Our Stars"" is set in what I like to refer to as hyper-reality. Its characters - especially for being teenagers - are just a little too charismatic, a little too confident, wise, quick-witted and funny to remind the reader of the imperfect humans we encounter in real life, but they do fit perfectly into their own reality, which Green still manages to use to great effect to illustrate truths about our own. And yes, there will be tears. Buckets of them. This is still a book about two kids with cancer, after all.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1WJRMUKH9SSXS?ASIN=014242417X	Coming of Age (with cancer)	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">""The Fault in Our Stars"" is an intriguing book, its telling an odd mix of pretentiousness and mundanity that doesn't always mesh.  Hazel Lancaster is the narrator, a seventeen-year-old living with cancer, whose last three years have been spent at home, with her only interaction being a support group for other teens with cancer.  It is at one of those meetings that she encounters Augustus Waters and once that has happened, her life will never be the same.<br/><br/>For three years Hazel has stayed home, the oxygen tank she is forced to use her constant companion.  During that time she completes high school and attends a few classes at the local college, but Hazel is almost entirely without friends, for her life can't be ""normal"" like other teenagers.  Meeting Augustus is like a whirlwind, for he falls for Hazel and lets her know how he feels unabashedly.  Hazel is completely resistant to a romantic relationship but open to friendship, and the two bond over the book that Hazel loves and rereads constantly.  When Augustus decides to use his Wish to help Hazel meet her favorite author, the two teenagers are taken on a journey where Hazel finally confronts how she feels about Gus and what it means to open oneself up to losing someone.<br/><br/>John Green's novel is generally well-written and compelling, but I found the pages-long descriptions of a video game being played were odd, especially when paired with fierce verbal wordplay from the two uber-smart main characters.  As I said, it doesn't always mesh.  All in all, ""The Fault in Our Stars"" is a truly heartbreaking work, one that is hard to put down and even harder to forget.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RSE57B0LJUEQR?ASIN=014242417X	Wildly dissapointing.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Let me start off by saying I was very excited to read this––I had heard wonderful things, as I'm sure most people did. However, as I read on and on, I found myself wildly disappointed.<br/><br/>I never felt connected/emotionally vested in Hazel. I couldn't get past the horrific dialogue amongst the characters and felt Green really missed the mark when it came to getting inside a 16-year-old girl's head. From Hazel's narration, to her interaction with her parents, to the banter between her and Gus, I literally found myself cringing while reading. Green's attempt to capture a teenager's world was like a Dad doing a bad impression of their own kid. But you can't really blame him. You have a thirty-something-old dude writing as if he was a young girl. With cancer. I wasn't buyin' it.<br/><br/>While there were some nuggets of interest peppered throughout, overall I was just so let down. I felt he was almost trying TOO hard to be sad. All my friends think I'm crazy for not liking it (I tried!) but I feel the need to  voice my utter disappointment in this book.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RP098EJJGP7L2?ASIN=014242417X	It Was Typical...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">**SPOILER**<br/>I recently had just finished reading the novel The Fault in Our Stars by John Green. Contrary to common opinions, I did not enjoy it at all. Reading was never my favorite hobby. But, if a book is constantly mentioned on how amazing it is, I always try and venture out to read it. The hype that was built up around The Fault in Our Stars was not all it was cracked up to be…for me at least.<br/> I think the biggest disappointment of reading this story for me was that it was so typical. Hazel Grace, the main character, was a quirky, cute, intellectual, girly, sarcastic, and cultured teenage girl. She had the perfect balance of everything…which made me dislike her. Her boyfriend, Augustus Waters, was depicted as every girl’s dream guy. He was the cool, popular kid in every high school. It was a continuous theme throughout the book of Augustus being so handsome and him having the best personality. The two together made the perfect couple, which would be so predictable if you had just read the summary on the inside cover. They were almost too perfect, except for the fact that they had cancer. But, Green did not execute the truth behind the disease and how crippling it can be. Instead, he made it seem like Hazel Grace’s oxygen tank was kind of cool. This is not the first book to explore the cancer theme, and I feel like Green did not fill the story with the emotion cancer brings with itself. Cancer is nothing like what it is depicted in The Fault in Our Stars. It does not give you the love of your life or amazing opportunities to take trips around the world. Maybe Green was trying to highlight the characters’ personalities over their illnesses. But, what really happened was that everybody in this book was defined by their illness.<br/> This book just did not do justice for me. Maybe it is because I have high expectations for really popular books and I perceive them to be interesting and unlike anything I have ever read. The Fault in Our Stars just sounded like any other love story, only it did not have the usual happy ending. But as I stated before, it was predictable. I could already tell that Augustus was going to pass away right from the first part where he is mentioned. Ultimately, I would not recommend this book if you are not a fan of love stories. Or, if you enjoy reading books with plot twists</span>"

I knew from the very beginning I wouldn't like it, but I decided to finish it anyway. It's another tear-jerking love story, except I didn't feel like crying at all. I knew from the minute they introduced Hazel and Gus how the plot would play out. The characters are unbelievable - yes, there are smart and witty kids out there, but Hazel and Augustus (what's up with his name, seriously) are so contradictory -  their speech is pretentious all the time, but then there is also an abundance of ""likes"" and ""whatevers"" (too many if you ask me) that come from Hazel on every page. I'm just tired of all these love stories about awkward underdog girls (who, of course, don't realize they are attractive) meeting a handsome prince who falls in love with them right away -c'mon!!! (Twilight and 50 Shades of Grey had the same story line, right?). Maybe if I was 15 I would have loved this book because it would have made me believe there is a sexy boy with a pretentious name waiting to fall in love with me, but I don't see how an adult can take this seriously.</span>"

How wrong I was. The characters were so unrealistic and used language that kids that age would never use. I felt like the love between Hazel and Augustus was like puppy love and a bit rushed. I also did not like the fact that the author put down other cancer books and congratulated himself on making a ""successful"" one. So unless you're a twelve-year-old girl, do not waste your time on getting this book.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R90XRCXKA2LJ?ASIN=014242417X	you have a choice how to tell sad stories, and the funny choice? That's the best one.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">""You have a choice in this world, I believe, about how to tell sad stories, and we made the funny choice.""<br/><br/>Did you know that there are, chemically speaking, two different stages of love? The first stage, the one where you're falling and all dopey and basically unable to function because you can't think of anything but that other person is the result of a chemical cocktail of adrenaline, dopamine, and serotonin pouring through your brain. The second stage, the one where you're committed and stay together potentially for life is because of two other chemicals, vasopressin and oxytocin. These are the ones that really bond you together, but the fact is, once you're getting the vasopressin and oxytocin, you don't get so much of the adrenaline, dopamine, and serotonin. And that, my friends, is probably the biggest reason that I (and quite probably you) love to read about falling in love. It gives me a bit of those chemicals (and feelings) back. That's why after reading a book I love, I often can't sleep, and I usually have a lot of energy. And I love it!<br/><br/>But here's the thing. Reading can also make you feel not-so-good feelings that you don't like and want to avoid like the plague. That, my friends, is why I did not really want to read The Fault in Our Stars. I drug my feet...a lot. Even while reading. A book that could have easily been read in one sitting, I read a third of, put down for two days, then read chapter by chapter for some time, getting up and doing something else constantly to try to keep myself from getting too involved. This behavior continued for about 2/3 of the book. I knew what was coming, and I dreaded it. I kind of Monnicad this book. I didn't want to get hurt, so I pushed it away, but it hurt anyway. But it also felt pretty good, falling in love with Augustus Waters.<br/><br/>This book doesn't really need another review at this point. Many/most of you have already read it, and to my knowledge, everyone's loved it, so it seems silly to go on and on, and yet I'm not sure I can resist fawning a little. So here it goes:<br/><br/>I love Augustus. I love that he pushes this perfect boundary between being pushy and just plain attentive. I love that he doesn't try to kiss Hazel, or call her too much, and I love that he reads her favorite book first thing, and really thinks about it.<br/><br/>I love that Hazel has a hard time standing much, and Augustus has a hard time sitting. Something about that whispers ""star-crossed lovers"" in your ear and breaks your heart.<br/><br/>I love that Hazel and Augustus both have wonderful families. Families who care about them and support them, and even hover a little, but the kids don't resent them for it. They love them for it. There need to be more families like this in books (and maybe in real life).<br/><br/>I love that this book manages to include poetry that wasn't at all cheesy, and did not once make me gag.<br/><br/>I love that this book made me laugh a lot more than it made me cry. I agree with Hazel and Augustus (and with Mr. John Green), you have a choice how to tell sad stories, and the funny choice? That's the best one.<br/><br/>And I like my choices.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R22WCA3MQVKEA?ASIN=014242417X	Best John Green book by far- has now ruined all other books for me!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I knew when I preordered this book more than six months ago that it would be great. All of Green's books are. I was not prepared, physically, emotionally, or psychologically for just how good this book was going to be. Good isn't a word that describes it, it's not powerful enough- stupendous nearly covers it. I had heard John read the first chapter last summer, but I shied away from the more recent readings or previews because I wanted to be a clean slate for reading the first time. My husband and I ordered one copy for the two of us, and only now realise how big of a mistake that was. I gave my husband first dibs on reading it, as I had gotten to read Maureen Johnson't The Name of the Star first. He's a school-teacher and began reading it after he got off work. He had finished by the time we went to bed. It's a really fast read, nearly impossible to put down. Your heart breaks when Esther's does, the way Green describes Amsterdam is so fantastic, you feel as though you are there and can see and smell what the characters are seeing and smelling. The book takes you through an entire spectrum of human emotions, and I'll admit I cried like a little girl. Several times. This is a book about a person going through cancer, not a cliche cancer book. There is nothing cliche about this book. The way Green describes the existential crises the characters go through make you re-evaluate your entire way of life. I've never read a book that has changed me (for the better) like The Fault in Our Stars has. I want to buy extra copies so I can give one to my future children, grandchildren, nieces, and nephews. To be perfectly honest, I don't know if there is any way to improve the written word. I don't know what Green will do next. I don't know if there is any way to write a better book. I will continue to read other works of fiction, but I doubt seriously that I will ever find a book better than this.</span>"

One that surpasses this level of greatness can make you laugh while you're crying, or vice versa. The Fault In Our Stars is that kind of book.<br/><br/>There was never a doubt in my mind about whether I'd like this book. I mean, this is John freaking Green (although I'm pretty sure that isn't actually his middle name). Plus, Paper Towns is my favorite book (ever). So when my copy arrived yesterday, I dropped my book bag by the door, forgetting the review book that I was so close to finishing, or the homework assignments I had, because I needed to know just HOW good The Fault In Our Stars was.<br/><br/>Let me tell you. It. Is. Brilliant. Paper Towns is still my favorite book from John Green (and my favorite in general), but this is his best book yet. He has these characters that you have to love, whether it's because of their clever observations of life, or the way they handle their day to day living with having to be declared or see as: THAT cancer girl or guy. As though that is all they will ever be remembered for (if at all). And this type of life or story would be terribly depressing if it weren't for the quirky, sarcastic wit that almost every character in some form or fashion seems to have. This is why I could start laughing in the middle of my tear fest, or randomly start crying in the middle of a laughing fit.<br/><br/>And the thing is, there are obvious signs that show when I know a book is excellent. When I'm reading this kind of book, all the situations and problems I have momentarily fall away. And for that day or two, there's a type of peace. Oh yea, and I either hug the book to my chest and smile a lot, or I have to make a note of all the awesome quotes I have to return to as soon as I finish the book.<br/><br/>There's a lot more to be said about this book, or how it makes me feel. Like how these characters are the most perfect imperfect characters I've ever met, or that I might (also) have fallen for Augustus. But that's not the point, because I've already read it, and it has made a huge mark (not a scar) in my life. The point is that YOU need to read it. No book is for everyone, but I have no doubt that this one will be enjoyed by a multitude.<br/><br/>Additional note: I loved the book, but here are three distinctive things (other than the characters) that I really loved<br/>-  The parts that were (clearly) inspired by The Great Gatsby<br/>-  The poetry<br/>-  An Imperial Affliction (which needs to be made into a real book...

The Fault in Out Stars is a book you can't help but fall in love with, with characters that become friends the instant you read them. I would recommend this book to everyone.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2H7U0VADQQS01?ASIN=014242417X	I get the hype.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Am I allowed to give this a 10/5?<br/><br/>I had to let TFiOS sit around in my brain over 24 hours before I could form a coherent post. I'm a John Green fan, but it took me forever to get around to reading this. I'm glad it took me awhile because I was able to see the reactions from others and think, ""oh, come on...it can't really be THAT good."" It IS ""THAT good.""<br/><br/>I'm a masochist for sad storylines. TFiOS is told from the POV of 16 Y/O Hazel, a cancer patient who is in terribly poor condition. Her parents urge her to attend a local support group as a way to make friends. At one particular meeting, Hazel meets Augustus Waters. Augustus lost a leg due to a previous bout with cancer, but seemed otherwise healthy. As would be expected-the two fall in love. --That wasn't a spoiler...come on.<br/><br/>Without giving away too much, I will say that TFiOS is heartbreaking, hilarious, and still shows a realistic view of what cancer does to the body. Hazel and Gus are both terribly optimistic given their circumstances. Their friend Isaac is also usually optimistic and frequently makes jokes at his own expense. What else are they supposed to do?<br/><br/>But it is the ending. And some of the things that are said. ....but mostly that ending. Like I said, it took me a day to let the book boil over in my mind, but I'm still a blubbering mess just thinking about it. I highly recommend it to any late comers such as myself who may have not jumped on the train already. A movie is in the works and Hazel has already been cast, but I still want to nominate myself for the role...you know, just in case the actress has something come up and has to quit?</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2WJU2P4X3STAF?ASIN=014242417X	Beautiful, bittersweet, and tragic love story!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">WOW this book is phenomenal. It was well-developed, heart wrenching, and utteringly beautiful. I loved the morbid humor and the beautiful love story that has a bittersweet ending. This book shows a perfect concept of the way people with cancer think and feel. It brings up many things such as sick people getting preferential treatment, getting treated like they aren't normal, and it shows just how normal and human they are. The characters in this book were awesome. They fight and cry and live better than any nonsick person and they do it with a morbid sense of humor. This book had me riveted from the very first chapter and it had me bawling by the end. Get ready for a roller coaster of emotion if you read this book.<br/><br/>This book is about a 16 year old girl named Hazel that has lung cancer. While at a Support Group she meets her boyfriend Augustus Waters. He is charming, funny, smart, and good-looking. He is there supporting his friend Isaac. Hazel and Augustus become close so fast but instead of turning me off to the story like this usually would Green does it in a way that makes it believable. These kids are dying or are survivors of disease. They are not going to take anything in life for granted. So the fast paced romance makes sense.<br/><br/>I love Hazel and Augustus' characters. They were beautifully and tragically written. I loved their humor, their view of life as they talked about wanting the universe to notice them. I loved their bittersweet love and romance. I love how charming and funny Augustus is. I wish I had a boyfriend like him. I find Hazel a perfect match for him. She is witty, smart, and has the same sense of humor.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R9J8KTSXMOZUH?ASIN=014242417X	definitely NOT the page turner I was expecting	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Like other reviewers, I have to comment on the language used by the characters in this book. As a reader of sci-fi and fantasy, it's not normally difficult for me to suspend my disbelief for the pleasure of reading. In fact I welcome the opportunity to do so. It's not that there aren't intelligent, articulate teenagers in the world, and the two lead characters in this book were exceptional and it is totally acceptable for them to have an expansive vocabulary. The real problem is, only pretentious jerks saturate every sentence with million dollar words (and believe me this book is dripping with them). So I struggled with the inconsistency of the characterization. Were these kids pretentious jerks (and, if so, how could I like them). Ultimately, I decided that Green just got in his own way here. It was difficult to ignore the presence of the author and therefore impossible to fully connect to the characters. I didn't even cry when I certainly should have.<br/><br/>On a brighter note, there were some truly dark and beautiful ideas here and I enjoyed the philosophical musings of the characters. The language itself was fantastic and I was pleased to see so many words that aren't usually present in young adult novels. Unfortunately, it was just too much and presented in the wrong way. In my opinion, Green should have toned it down a little, perhaps allowing only a single character to be the pretentious jerk. (Instead ALL of the characters, yes ALL, speak as if they have a masters degree in philosophy).<br/><br/>The Fault in Our Stars is a quick and easy read so if you want to find out what all the hype is about I say go ahead and read it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1GKZ1OO2XLH43?ASIN=014242417X	Five Dom Perignon Stars for The Fault in Our Stars by John Green	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">A breathless emotional roller coaster that hooked me in the moment I read the first page. This is hard to review. Not because it is not worthy of a review...look at my rating and that tells you it is. It is just hard because for starters I am not a ""reviewer"", nor a writer, but I can just plain and simply let folks know if I like something or not. Okay, so when I was on page 136 I posted on twitter to @realjohngreen that the book was awesome and again I posted when I was on page 177 that I wish my lunch hour had not ended because I just had to know. Then on to Chapter 20, I was in a car dealership waiting room surrounded by men. Not the best place to be when reading a book such as this. Fighting the tears in my eyes I had to close the book, text my daughter of my current emotional state and wait patiently until I arrived home where I quickly snuggled up with Kleenex in hand and finished the story. At each of those moments I was excited, anxious and worried. When I say it was an emotional roller coaster, I mean it. I was happy, sad, and angry, worried, and perplexed...everything. There were moments when I connected with Hazel as I do with my own daughter and that warmed me. There were times I imagined that I was Hazel (don't tell my husband) only to be in the presence of hot hunky Augustus (Gus); even with his notorious dangling cigarettes. And there were times that I can only pray not to be in the shoes of any of them, for then I would not know the pain and loss, yet I know as well as everyone else that eventually we all end up...<br/>This is a gripping, tearful, beautiful with some genuine humor, love story about living! A must read.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R384IUZHC6A1PT?ASIN=014242417X	Five Faultless Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I downloaded The Fault in Our Stars on my kindle over a year ago and every time I would start to read it I would think to myself, ""this is going to be a depressing cry-fest and I just cannot handle that right now,"" and then I would put it away and start some other novel without cancer and teenagers and star-crossed loves.<br/><br/>Having finally finished reading it (and at the beach no less) I've come to the conclusion that I really should't have kept putting it off.<br/><br/>Yes it is sad, it is totally heartbreaking, but it is also funny and profound and incredibly sincere. The kind of  deep and thought provoking fare that you don't always see in YA fiction.<br/><br/>John Green writes from Hazel's perspective and for a grown man, he certainly seems to capture the voice of a teenage girl living with terminal cancer. In fact, I believe he was inspired to write the novel by a girl very much like his Hazel. He doesn't glorify death or sugarcoat cancer. He writes from a very real perspective that anyone who has been touched by death can appreciate.<br/><br/>Hazel and Gus are teenagers who are not teenagers. They've been dealing with the realities of cancer and side-effects of dying for so long now that they are more than teenagers and more than adults. They are the ones who face their own mortality every day. And, in the face of death, they fall in love.<br/><br/>In the end it is a novel about death, but it is also a book about life and I will recommend it to anyone I talk to now. I'm probably one of the last on this bandwagon now, but Augustus and Hazel will occupy my thoughts long after I've written this review.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1B9R1KJ6J6DLB?ASIN=014242417X	MAGNIFICENT!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I am a bestselling writer myself in a different genre and it is not often I write a review. The hardcover version of this book had been long been sitting on a shelf in my house after one of my daughters read it a few years ago. Though I normally don't read young adult novels, I finally decided to give it a go because I wanted to read it before seeing the movie.<br/><br/>Let me tell you, I devoured it one day. I cried big ugly tears from the very first word to the very last word. Hazel and Augustus's love story is one that will stay in my heart forever. I loved the sparse, witty writing and the intelligent dialogue. There is only one word to describe this book-- beautiful.<br/><br/>I saw the movie the following day and thought I'd bawl all over again from start to finish. Interestingly, I didn't. While I enjoyed the movie very much (and especially the casting of Hazel and Augustus), I only cried at the end. It didn't capture me as much emotionally as did John Green's exquisite words. Coming from an entertainment background, I understood why some creative choices were made, but some memorable scenes were deleted as well as some amazing lines like ""Time is a slut. It screws with you"" as well as the star gazing scene which gives the book its Shakespearian inspired title. And the reason Augustus was attracted to Hazel in the first place was significant and moving too but omitted in the screenplay.<br/><br/>Read this book! And before you see the movie! Have a roll of Bounty paper towels nearby. It is one of the best books I've ever read. And I hope you will feel the same way. Thank you, John Green, for the gift of your writing.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2BAWS17L1XY90?ASIN=014242417X	Great	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Before I read this book, I wasn't sure if it would be for me. I like young adult, but it's not a genre I actively seek out.<br/><br/>Unless you've been living in a cave, you've probably heard about this book. It's the story of a teenage girl, Hazel, who is terminally ill with cancer. While at a support group for people suffering with cancer, she meets Augustus, who is in remission, and so the love affair begins.<br/><br/>Hazel isn't self-pitying about her disease. All she's trying to do is live her life, respond to her emotions, and make the most out of the time she has left. It's this attitude that makes her life so engaging.<br/><br/>Hazel's love interest, Augustus (Gus), is witty and eloquent. At points I found him a little too eloquent and borderline pretentious, but those moments were fleeting. On the whole I loved him and his role in the story.<br/><br/>Getting to know these characters and see their love grow was a pleasure. Green manages to negotiate teenage love without making it feel like an over-emotional mess. It was well handled and captivating to read. This made the sad scenes all the more heartbreaking.<br/><br/>While reading this book, I felt so close to the action I could smell cancer and everything associated with it. The treatments, the hospitals, the drugs...<br/><br/>To avoid spoilers I won't take my review any further.<br/><br/>John Green is an amazing author, with a wonderful prose style. Incredibly conscious writing makes for an easy read, but a well crafted one.<br/><br/>This is a great book and one I would recommend to anyone. It's funny, heart breaking, and incredibly well told.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2QBD04K72RH4V?ASIN=014242417X	Great book (and I don't typically read YA)	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">One of the problems with reading mostly ""literary fiction"" is that I tend to miss out on some great books simply because they don't show up in my recommendations lists on various websites. Every December, I scour the ""Top Books of 2012"" lists and compile a list of top picks that catch my interest and try to play catch up. This year is no different, and so far I have added The Round House, The End of Your Life Book Club and The Fault In Our Stars (feel free to add your recommendations in the comments section below).<br/><br/>Upon the recommendation of my sister, I opted to read The Fault In Our Stars by John Green first (apparently he is considered a ""voice of our generation"" and has a popular YouTube channel, but I didn't know that until this week). Now, I read a lot of good books, but I don't often stumble across one that captures my attention to the point that I forget about the outside world. This book did just that, and I highly recommend it. Narrated by a terminally ill teenage girl, it tells a poignant story of life, love and loss. It is written in a conversational tone, and the reader rides the ups and downs of cancer and normal teenage problems with the narrator. This book demonstrates a wide range of emotions and I laughed, cried and got mad right along with the main characters.<br/><br/>I don't typically read, never mind like, young adult books, but this one was a rare exception. I can understand why it made every ""Top Books"" list and recommend it to both teens and adults. Thanks to my sister for vouching for it, because without her I would have skipped over it!<br/><br/>For more reviews, visit [...]</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2X47X1LDVHCSE?ASIN=014242417X	Bring Your Own Tissues and maybe some to share	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Words cannot describe how amazing this book is. But I will try. This is the second John Green book I've read and I was not let down.<br/><br/>The book is believable and catching. It draws you in so that all you can do is sit there until the book is finished. I like how even though the plot seems simple - perhaps boring - in of itself (cancer girl finds love with a cancer boy), the story and writing is so well done that you can't put the book down. The characters are relate-able (at least in my opinion). I loved Augustus the most. He cracked me up even till the end.<br/><br/>I love how John Green had hilarious scenes and then would put in one or two sentences of deep and thought provoking ideas. This is the type of book that makes you think. And while I'm not always a fan of those, I love how John Green works it into his stories.<br/><br/>While the story is a love story it has both its happy and sad moments. And I enjoyed that emotional roller coaster. I stayed up till four in the morning finishing the book. And then immediately afterward I called my boyfriend to tell him how much he means to me. Yes I cried while reading this book - as did probably many others who read it. I cried because I could see myself in the shoes of the characters. I could picture the heartbreak and it felt real to me at times. I was probably reading through teary eyes for the last 50 or so pages.<br/><br/>It is an amazing book about life, love, loss and hope. I highly recommend it to teens, young adults and adults. It is definitely a book I'll pick up and read again when I'm in the mood for a sad and yet happy love story.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1H6HAE4Z7JQ7M?ASIN=014242417X	This has become one of the very few books I want to keep.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Upon ordering this I was excited; being a Tumblr user this book has been all over Tumblr for weeks. People Obviously thought this book was good so naturally, I was curious. I expected some kind of logical self-esteem kind of book.. I never bothered to look what it was about. I wanted it to be a mystery.<br/><br/>Upon arrival I opened the package up with two other books neatly tucked inside. Nothing was damaged or broken. Everything was perfect. It took me several days to pick up the book and actually read it. I didn't want to loose that mystery vibe but at the same time the cover and name and everything I had seen looked so interesting that I eventually (with a week) had to pick it up to see what all the fuss was about.<br/><br/>Upon reading I was opened to this new kind of book. Something I didn't  expect. A girl with cancer? Throughout the book I laughed, cried, and mourned the end of a perfectly written book. I felt like the story ended beautifully; but because I am a woman who loves beginnings more than endings.. I went back to read the first few chapters. I soon found myself in this brave young girl. I could relate to her on a level.. then I came to realize. Isn't that how we read books? We relate to that person some how and because of that we are drawn to reading the book about them.. well, it makes sense to me.<br/><br/>This is at the top of my recommendations list. The author deserves to be applauded. He writes so beautifully that it is hard to imagine that I could ever find a book that could top that one.<br/><br/>Good luck Readers.~<br/><br/>Keep Reading.<br/><br/>Ash~</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1VJ7EPKNX5N4X?ASIN=014242417X	John Green knows how to tug heartstrings	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Oh, John Green. You really need to stop making me fall in love with your characters.<br/><br/>The Fault in Our Stars is as depressing, heart-wrenching, lovely, wonderful, and well-thought as I'd imagined it would be. Hazel and the supported cast of characters combine to make a horrible situation, albeit one that's been written about before, into something unique and not entirely hopeless. While not everyone will get what they're looking for if someone's searching for a perfect plot or ending, I think every bit of this fit in perfectly.<br/><br/>First off, I have to say that the characters made it what it was. Augustus, Isaac, and Hazel were definitely my favorites, but I also loved all of the parents, those random characters that popped in for two sentences, Isaac's little brother (and I can't remember his name). Each had their own quirks, exaggerated features, personal hopes and shortcomings and flaws. No one was perfect. Thankfully. They were as real as a reader can hope to get.<br/><br/>While at some times I had no idea where the plot was going or what was going to happen next, I didn't really care. I just wanted to learn more about this budding friendship, about Hazel's health problems, and what life could bring her. There's no sweetening of the details here, or brushing over of the more technical or depressing parts. I liked how the reader is there with her through thick and thin.<br/><br/>If you want to read this, don't bother trying to prepare yourself. Dive right into it, and let it take you on a ride you'll never forget.<br/><br/>DEVASTATINGLY DELIGHTFUL. 5/5 stars</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2U4IKQP4RMZBZ?ASIN=014242417X	Gut Wrenching but Cathartic in its own ways.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">First off.<br/>It was a quick read.<br/>I finished it within a 24 hour period of time. Granted, I'm an adult reading YA fiction. It's not Dostoevsky ( I spent a few summers trying to get through long winded Russian on my down time ) but it still kept my attention enough that I wanted to see it to the end.<br/>My predictions were right.<br/>Hazel &amp; Gus had their own fatal flaws and demise with all the typical character traits these sort of books have. The heroine doesn't know her own beauty...etc. You discussed it all above and I agree. ( yada yada yada )<br/>There was a third character though.<br/>Cancer. And I think, this was the one, that I wanted to shy a way from.<br/>It's a dirty word in everyone's language throughout the world. It signifies pain and suffering no matter the language spoken. And for some of us it hits close to home.<br/>I myself have spent much time laying in a hospital bed ( for my Crohn's ) as well as sat by my mother's bedside as she lost her battle to cancer. It is not pretty. It is raw and ugly but this book did show that their can be beautiful moments in that suffering.<br/>There is some romanticization of cancer within this book but I am happy the author treaded lightly on it.<br/>One thing that did stay with me after I read the book, was how the characters each always made it a point to say thank you to the nurses. For me, that rang so true. The way the author captured that moment. The vulnerbility felt when you must rely on the kindness of strangers to help you when pain is enveloping is like realizing how vast the ocean really is.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3E7OTW4M87AIF?ASIN=014242417X	5 Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I didn't put off reading The Fault in Our Stars for any particular reason. Truth be told, I waited to read this one mostly because I was low on fundage to spend on buying books. Despite everyone else's ravings about The Fault in Our Stars, I just put off buying it until my mom gave me a gift card for Christmas. And thus it was purchased and thus it was read.<br/><br/>I now firmly agree with the raving John Green fans out there that this man is perhaps brilliant. And The Fault in Our Stars is definitely brilliant. I was hooked on the story and Hazel, the main character, no later than page 10 and laughing out loud no later than page 19. And of course squalling like a baby before the end.<br/><br/>John Green takes you on a magnificent and emotional journey. There are many of witty lines that would have won me over alone, but add to it the nature and content of the story and I was pretty much blown away.<br/><br/>I will say that emotionally I had to put the book down for a bit. Some friends we know through church lost their seven week old son tragically and I just couldn't read a ""cancer book"" while also thinking about what they must be going through.<br/><br/>All in all The Fault in Our Stars must be read. There were multiple quotes that I actually noted and want to share with you, but they are all spoilery in nature, so yeah, sorry. You'll just have to read it for yourself. And that you very much must do.<br/><br/>The Fault in Our Stars gets 5 very well-deserved stars from me. Have you read The Fault in Our Stars? What did you think? Let me know!</span>"

Regular visitors know how much I don't like contemporary, but this isn't just contemporary. This is so completely different from anything else I've ever experienced. When I finished reading, all I could think was ""Why did I read this?"" It's the most painful experience I've endured in a very long time.<br/>I don't think I can really review this properly. The characters weren't just characters, they were real people. They had such real emotions that I can't describe them in a single paragraph! Hazel was just...wow. Augustus was just...double wow. Just trust me. If I go into any more detail I might just burst into tears.<br/>The famous quote everyone's seen at least once sums up my thoughts about the book perfectly:<br/><br/>""I fell in love the way you fall asleep: slowly, and then all at once""<br/><br/>It was exactly like that for me. I started out just sticking my feet in the water, giving it a little taste. It was good, but not great. Then the next thing I knew I had fallen in, overwhelmed by how incredible it was. Once I reached a certain point (those who have read it know exactly where), I was a wreck. I just started sobbing. Thanks to other bloggy friends I was prepared physically with a giant box of tissues, but nothing could prepare me for the emotional trauma that was suffered that afternoon.<br/><br/>Moderate Language and Sexual Content: (Multiple d*** s*** a** f***, kissing, descriptions of making out, Augustus and Hazel do sleep together, but it's not explicit at all, crude and suggestive humor throughout)</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2MU9LVDERAPSI?ASIN=014242417X	Love it	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I love this book. Heartwarming,romantic,and a story so closely inbound with life and death and love that it's wonderful. This is a story about Hazel Grace Lancaster,a 16 year old girl with lung cancer,to say it in simplest terms. She meets and falls in love with 17 year old Augustus Waters, a boy with a cancer that unfortunately I cannot remember the name of. He lost his leg due to the cancer. I recommend this for anyone 17 and up, though I am eleven and read it. Hazel gives her very mature opinion of love,life,death,and everything in between. From the ghettoziation of scrambled eggs to how it feels to have a loved on me die,from making the adjective version paedophile to finding the sequel to An Imperial Affliction, this book has it all. I guarantee you will not be disappointed in reading this. This a...how shall I put this...overly romantic scene in the book,so younger people (I.e. preteens and younger) may not be able to read this comfortably. To quote the book ""The fault,dear Brutus,is not in our stars, but in ourselves."" "" The dead are visible only in the terrible lidless eye of memory. The living, thank heaven, retain the ability to surprise and to disappoint."" "" You do not immortalize the lost by writing about them. Language buries, but does not resurrect"" and lastly, "" “That’s the thing about pain,” Augustus said, and then glanced back at me. “It demands to be felt.”<br/>This book will not disappoint.<br/>I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.<br/>(I was not attempting to plagiarize the quotes just attempting to share with the public world.)</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3IGYHL4C3FECV?ASIN=014242417X	No solicitous cancer treatment here!  A great read--Thumbs Up to John Green	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Loved the book.  As a parent who lost my 27 year old daughter to leukemia, I was amazed at John Green's ability to create such rich and authentic dialogue and emotions.  Many friends thought the subject matter might have been hard on me, but oddly it was a gift to me to see how two young people seeing life through the cancer ""my life is so not certain"" lens navigated all the challenges.  Having the support group characters as well as the subplot of the Amsterdam author and all that raised for the main characters enriched the story line.  I thought they did a great job with the movie too, although I liked the book better and gratefully read it before I knew the movie as coming out.  I preferred having my own visuals of the characters before actually seeing the actors--who, by the way, did a fine job.<br/><br/>Kudos John Green!  I had to read your bio mid way through the book because I couldn't imagine how you could write what you did unless you either a) had had cancer as a young adult or b) had a young adult child with cancer.  When I found out you had neither a nor b, but you were a chaplain in a children's hospital for all of 5 months, it blew me away.  I appreciate your honest and raw capture of some very tough stuff for kids/families to experience.  You pull back the veil on all of it and give readers/viewers a close up and pretty accurate view of the good, the tender, the hard and the heartbreak of losing a child/boyfriend way too soon.  I shed some tears and the loss of my daughter was undoubtedly in the mix.  Thank you.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars is a coming of age tale of a female protagonist with cancer that will eventually kill her.  Through her ""cancer kid support group"" she meets a singularly legged boy who will become her romantic interest.  Without having to make this a spoiler review, I will stop the description here.<br/><br/>The Fault in Our Stars was a very well written book given that it is written for a younger crowd than myself.  The story line keeps moving, it never stalls or drags on, and has its fair share of surprises and twists and turns.  This book is particularly interesting to me in that there is a female protagonist which is unusual and also that she is diagnosed as (what I would call) eventually terminal from the first page.  This is not something we come upon during the book.  So there are lots of very well described situations throughout the book as they could only be told by someone who is coming to accept their mortality and the frailty of their existence.<br/><br/>The ending to this book, and by ending I mean probably the last 5 chapters, are horribly sad!  I can't recall a time where I didn't have tears welling up frequently as this book reached its end.  As you start to realize how this story is unfolding the feelings of dread and sadness build into this awesome crescendo and the inevitable revelations after the ""big event"" (trying not to give up the spoiler here).<br/><br/>This was a very well written, book that I could not stop reading.  I would recommend this book to just about anyone... Just have your tissues handy.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1ZP38CQMIHLR3?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in Our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">i thought this book was very good and very well written. as a 16 year old myself, i felt that John Green did a very good job in writing in the place of a teenage girl. much of the book depicted Hazel's thoughts, and i felt that her thoughts were realistic and similar to a teenage girl's. the segments about her parents and her friends and how she felt like she was hurting people by having a terminal illness were very striking, and it was interesting to get into the head of a cancer patient, ever though she is fiction. there was also a lot of anticipation in the book. you knew that anything could happen at anytime, and that keeps the reader reading. you never know what is going to happen. in many books, you can kind of guess what is going to happen and when, but in this book you never knew, just like how in real life; you never know what is going to happen. as the book went on, i really felt that i knew Hazel and and could commiserate with her and her troubles because her character was developed so well. details about her and her life were revealed early on in the story and it allowed me to focus on the story, instead of having to develop the characters for myself. i really loved that i could practically feel Hazel's feeling for myself. i also really loved this book because it is not only a book for teenagers or adults. anybody can read this book and relate to it in some way, whether its through Hazel, her struggles, or other characters like Gus. it is not necessarily a book about cancer, but a book about life and its ups and downs.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3C70YIMCDVNLD?ASIN=014242417X	Beautifully written!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I actually downloaded this book by mistake but once I started reading it I was hooked. John Green (if he's written others I'm going to read them!) creates amazing characters and tells a story that will stay with you for some time to come...</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R9FFZCYS25LRQ?ASIN=014242417X	Beautiful Journey	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Simply a great read.  I loved it from beginning to end.  It takes a sad journey and gives it a perspective that is unlike any other.<br/><br/>Hazel, Gus &amp; Issac are all great characters with a quick wit that lightens the ""mood"" of what's really going on.  They don't sugar coat life because life hasn't dealt them the best hand.  Rather than be victims they face their fates head on, calling things for what they are while the rest of the world tip toes around the reality. They don't have time to wallow or be victims and they know it.<br/><br/>Personally, I don't get the 1 star reviews that complain they don't speak like ""regular"" teenagers. Or the writing wasn't up to their standards.  Well, these characters AREN'T regular teenagers.  All three have a point of view that is unlike those of their peers.  That's the authors intent.  They are faced with a short life and because of it, take a different approach to how they see the world.  That's pretty much the POINT of the book.  Some people pick up a book an tear it apart like it's a college thesis that should be literary perfection. They say, it's not written ""realistically"" or the story has holes, it's not authentic to real cancer experiences etc.  I feel sorry for them....because in the case of this book, they are focusing on words on paper instead of immersing themselves into the journey.<br/><br/>""Pain demands to be felt"".  Truer words have never been written.<br/><br/>Saw the movie as well....equally as great.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1DO3EFCD97VMT?ASIN=014242417X	A unique love story that has you laughing and crying	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">When I started reading this story I was a little thrown by the way the teenage characters talked.  It was odd to me.  Sometimes they talked about things that were far above my head, but I suppose when you are diagnosed with a terminal illness at a very early age it forces you to grow up fast.<br/><br/>Augustus was easy to like.  Even when he dangled an unlit cigarette from his lips, which usually I would find repulsive, he is charming, and everything about him pulls you in.  Hazel Grace was refreshing.  She’s a strong young lady trying to protect those around her, never letting her illness define her.<br/><br/>At times, this book was hard to read.  I felt like a voyeur peeking in on someone’s most difficult, humiliating moments.  At other times, this book made me smile and laugh out loud with its own unique brand of humor.  I didn’t quite understand their obsession with a quirky book in the story, but that didn’t matter.  These characters made me care about them, made me root for them and their love story.<br/><br/>Some people call this book a “cancer story”, but I don’t think that is accurate.  Yes, this book is about death and how we deal with death, but more importantly it’s about love and how you live.  Hazel and Augustus are always true to themselves and live accordingly.<br/><br/>I know I’ll be a wreck when I see this movie, but what I took away from this story was that we don’t get to choose how long we’re here on this earth so live honestly, love completely and you’ll be okay.  Okay.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1ENM2U1U4N2NH?ASIN=014242417X	Love it!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars was a book I had to read in my Senior Literature Class. I love to read and this book spoke to me when I heard about it, so I bought it. And now I've read it and I think this is a really beautiful book that can truly relate to the reader. I'll admit I really do not cry because of books I read but this one hit me hard. I could not stop reading even though at times I wanted to throw the book against the wall and go cry in a corner somewhere. That normally does not occur when I read books. But it happened because I was able to connect to Hazel's feelings.<br/><br/>Now I know many will think ""Who wants to read a book about people dying of cancer?"" But I would respond by saying cancer is not what the book is really about. I mean yes, it is a major part of the plot but that does not mean anything. The main point of the book is about learning who you are and how to accept you are. Augustus Waters came into Hazel's depressing life and turned it upside down. He made her realize she was not just her disease; she was a beautiful, smart, and funny teenage girl.<br/><br/>I think everyone should read The Fault in Our Stars because it can connect to anyone. Everyone has been touched by cancer in at least one point in their lives. Everyone has felt worthless. Everyone has fallen in love. I believe that people ages 15 to 115 will enjoy this book because of that. So if you enjoy literature, and want a book to read that will make you want to never stop reading it, pick The Fault in Our Stars.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R8WK7HZS6QQFI?ASIN=014242417X	Too much hype	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">While the story was OK, I had been prepared to be swept up in this tragic romance.  Lots of sad things happen in the book, but the whole thing was boring.  There was nothing about the characters that captured me.  I found them bland and one dimensional.  I also found several of the plot points rather contrived.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2I2NTG9QVTRK7?ASIN=014242417X	Not your average YA cancer book.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Where do I start? I really loved this book. I had high hopes going in, and at a price like $3.99, I can't complain about my purchase at all.<br/><br/>Hazel Grace Lancaster was such a refreshing change in YA lit. Many heroines I come across are unrealistic or annoying, but Hazel was easy to connect to and root for. Her character wasn't dumbed down for readers, she was funny, and I loved the conversational tone her narration had.<br/><br/>Augustus Waters.... oh, Gus. He is one of my favorite male leads ever. He's not your average good looking lead. He's intelligent, funny, charming, and an all around good guy. Like Hazel says, he's no Prince Charming, although sometimes he likes to try, but his best moments are when he's just being his human self.<br/><br/>I loved Hazel's mom, and how dedicated she was to making her daughter's time left on earth as good as possible. She celebrates every single holiday on the planet so Hazel won't miss out, and for once, parents play an important POSITIVE role in teen lit. No disappearing parent syndrome here.<br/><br/>The plot was good and kept my interest, although it was occasionally a bit slow. I had a hard time finishing it because the ending emotionally affected me (I take my reading very seriously) but it was a beautiful story.<br/><br/>I would definitely recommend this book. If I could give this more than 5 stars for making me bawl like a bitch-baby just THINKING about the book after reading it, I would. Will definitely be reading again!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3CBDQNUASFCGC?ASIN=014242417X	Aptly Titled Emotional YA	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">A book about kids and cancer is going to tug at your heartstrings. What John<br/>Green does well in ""The Fault in Our Stars"" is give the kids lives and commentary that do not dwell on the obvious.<br/><br/>The narrator, Hazel, has an incurable cancer. She home schools, she goes to Support Group (with excellent caustic remarks unspoken), and truly cares for her parents. Her parents face the worst with courage, but of course they are clingy.<br/><br/>Hazel meets a new guy at Support Group, Augustus. He has had one leg amputated. Their friend in common, Isaac, is about to lose his other eye.<br/><br/>So the details are not pretty. But the kids find a way to be kids. They are fairly philosophical at times, and mad-cap ridiculous at others. What I loved about Hazel and Gus is that they settled on ""Okay"" as short-hand for ""always"" or ""I'll love you always."" They have hormones, they want to live and experience life.<br/><br/>Most of all, they want to find answers to the book that brought them together, An Imperial Affliction. They both email the author and wait and wait and wait for answers. They know that as cancer patients they will get the ""victim credit"" and probably hear from him.<br/><br/>What they don't know is ""the fault in our stars,"" what fate has in store for them in terms of their lives and their illness.<br/><br/>Green handles the improbable with grace. This is a fine YA that will bring a smile to your face even as you are crying your eyes out. Lovely, lovely book.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2F95SOFRCVF3D?ASIN=014242417X	Funny and moving	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars is the fifth novel by American author, John Green. Hazel Grace Lancaster is a quirky sixteen-year-old with terminal lung cancer. In a Support Group she deems of doubtful value, she meets one-legged seventeen-year-old Augustus Waters, survivor of osteosarcoma. Gus and Hazel click almost immediately, sharing music and books, movies and jokes. Hazel's need for closure about the characters of her favourite book leads them both down an unexpected path. The characters are appealing and most of the banter is funny, if occasionally having the saccharine sweetness of My Sister's Keeper (the terrible movie, not the brilliant book), but ultimately, there is plenty of humour (some of it quite black), lots of wisdom and moments that will have tears welling in the eye of the most cynical reader. The plot has a twist that will hit hard. The best quote is by Peter van Houten (and as a cloggie I have a perfect right to laugh out loud at this one!): ""Dutch is not so much a language as an ailment of the throat."" This book is a look into the truly unique world of the cancer patient, dipping into the cancer patient's lexicon, touching on subjects as diverse as cancer perks, relationships with terminal patients and fear of being a grenade: a ticking time bomb that wounds everyone close to you when it explodes. Whether this is a realistic portrayal can only be judged by someone with a terminal diagnosis, but Green certainly presents an interesting perspective. Funny and moving.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2U7A7ADU1YNFD?ASIN=014242417X	Don't be scared away by the depressing sounding plot	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is one of those books that I kept hearing about and seeing on various ""Best"" lists, but just couldn't force myself to read because the premise sounded totally depressing. The joke's on me because I ended up loving it and understanding all the hype.<br/><br/>There is some sadness (how could there not be with this type of story?), but it's surrounded by enough humor and honesty to balance it out.<br/><br/>This is a character-driven story and I loved Hazel and Augustus. They're smart, witty, and playful despite being in horrific circumstances. Occasionally, their characters fall into the ""Dawson's Creek"" trap of having conversations that are way beyond the language and thought process of your average teenager. And, these kids have read far more serious ""literature"" and poetry at age 17 than I've read at age 34. But, who wants to read 300 pages of ""OMGs, LMAOs, and likes"", which I'm guessing might be closer to how a realistic teenager speaks today? I want to read smart, witty dialogue even if you sacrifice a bit of reality in the process.<br/><br/>After reading the book, I discovered that John Green is also well-known for his video blogs and has a huge Twitter following. As a caveat to my thoughts on his book, I must say that I was not an established ""John Green fan"" before reading it (I'm not one of his Twitter followers and haven't seen any of the video blogs)...I just loved the book for what it is.<br/><br/>For more reviews, check out my blog, Sarah's Book Shelves.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RPN6N206SOME1?ASIN=014242417X	A Different Kind of Cancer Story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I was intrigued by the story line in this book, and how clearly the author drew the characters of his hero and heroine. There was almost an element of fantasy or other worldliness in the book, and I think the author created that mood by choosing to tell only one aspect of the story of two teenagers caught up in dealing with cancer. It's as if these two are marooned on a desert island, and that part of the story is in color. When they interact with the adults in their lives, even with other teens, the story is told only from their point of view, almost in black and white because it's so incomplete. Part of the fun of reading the book is entering into the language and culture of the two teens. As a book for here and now, this is a plus, but in my opinion, it does not bode well for its chance of becoming a young adult classic. I will recommend this book to my two teenage granddaughters, if only to introduce them to the idea that life brings us no guarantees, regardless of our ages. From 2000 to 2006, I taught yoga to cancer patients, and their families, and also did a workshop at a conference for teens who had survived childhood cancer. I think the book captures the obsession and egocentricity of many of these kids, but it misses some of the maturity and wisdom these young people acquire, whether they survive or whether they die. I gave the book four stars because it's an excellent book for what it is, but it's not a book that I found either thought-provoking or life-changing.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RY76NVWDP54WR?ASIN=014242417X	Prepare to have your heart ripped out (in a good way - yes that's possible)	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is an incredible story about two cancer-stricken teens who fall for each other despite knowing that they won't have much time together. This is a story that is labeled for teens, but these characters have been through so much in their lives that they're mature far beyond their years. The themes of this story reach far beyond teen issues and anyone of any age will find plenty to relate to.<br/><br/>This is the story about Hazel Grace Lancaster and her struggle to deal with her terminal cancer and all that it entails. She is acutely aware that her death will result in immense pain for those who love her and therefore has distanced herself from most people. She is caught off guard when she meets Augustus Waters who is not only interested in her but is relentless in his pursuit of her regardless of the circumstances. He slowly breaks down her barriers and they fall deeply in love with each other. Unfortunately their love is short-lived but they're both completely ""okay"" with it.<br/><br/>There is so much more I'd love to write about in regards to this book, but it simply wouldn't do it justice. There are so many different issues that this book addresses (and some aren't fully answered because sometimes there aren't any exact answers). It is a beautiful story and even though the movie is extremely well-done and a fantastic movie on its own, it simply does not fully capture the story of Hazel Grace. I highly recommend reading the book before seeing the movie.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R16LB2PEND12UO?ASIN=014242417X	My last 'cancer book' read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I won't be reading another 'cancer book'. Life has enough of this playing out in front of my eyes without reading it too. But still, even though I kept putting it down, I kept picking back up and wanting to read on.<br/><br/>There were times reading this when I was crying from sadness and laughing at the wittiness, both at the same time.<br/>Maybe most teens don't speak in the same way Hazel and Gus do - but wasn't that the whole point of the star-crossed lovers. Two people that, due to circumstance, gave up their path and left their old friends, and started another path without compromising who they really are for the sake of what the world says is normal teen behavior and normal teen-speak. Two kids who, due to circumstance, would analyze and philosophize in ways they wouldn't usually. And two people, quite different from others around them, find themselves drawn together. The question occurs, if they didn't have cancer and had been their 'old selves' would they have even liked each other? In hindsight, which life would they choose?<br/><br/>These aren't the first tragic star-crossed teen lovers, and they won't be the last (in fiction or real life) but this version of that story was contemporary, real and well written. Was everything accurate? No, but it doesn't matter. The message was clear: that we are fleeting in this life; relationship and friendship means more than how much time we have or than the heroics that the world tells us we need to perform.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R9YM3XYH1WTP5?ASIN=014242417X	Perfect	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">(NO SPOILERS) This book is the most perfect book I have read in a long time. I don't think I have cried that hard since Snape confessed his undying love for Lily Evans. So lets get to why I love it so much. Many, many reviews on Amazon are saying that this book has too complex of dialog for teenagers, but in the end, wouldn't you rather have a good descriptive dialog rather than the boring rather than the  repetitive language of the actual teenager. I just said rather so many times, but it makes me quite irritated that anyone would want the descriptive words to make one of a teenager.<br/>(SPOILERS THAT MIGHT GIVE AWAY SOMETHING BUT IT IS VERY HARD TO FIGURE OUT THE SPOILERS IF YOU HAVEN'T READ THE BOOK) It has been a week since I have finished this book, and I still keep thinking about it. Every single day I think about the love between Hazel and Augustus Waters, and how Hazel  must have felt at different points of time. This book review is kind of all over the place but, I wish that at the end of the book (after the email from Van Houtons assistant) I wish that I could have figured out what happened to Hazel after reading the thinks Augustus said to Van. I feel the same need to know what happened to Hazel, as Hazel did for the Dutch Tulip Man.<br/>All in all this book is in my top five books. If you are struggling to decide whether or not to get this book, get it. It will change the way you look at your own life, and not many books can do that successfully.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1RTLPIT8I3JJA?ASIN=014242417X	I don't think I can even finish it	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I'm over 100 pages in and it's very depressing. I bought the book based upon an interview with John Green on 60 Minutes. The consensus was it wasn't a book about cancer but a love story. Sorry, but so far all it's been is about cancer. Since it's so popular, I'm going to donate the book to my library.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RQ4IXXWARJ5GI?ASIN=014242417X	Great read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book has been getting rave reviews all over tumblr (social media website) and John Green is getting touted all over as a genius. Of course, i had to witness this for myself. This book is open and honest and very quotable. The banter between characters is amusing and the deadpan manner with which John Green conveys it in is pure gold. The twist in the book came completely unexpected and blindsided me. I didn't cry, but I feel almost like I need go give a moment of silence for the characters struggles in the book.<br/><br/>I don't normally read books of this nature, I prefer to stick to action and adventure and fantasy. I like to read about the supernatural and travel to different worlds. This book grabbed me from the very beginning and made me keep turning the pages to find out what happened next.<br/><br/>Also, other comparable ebooks on the market are maybe 9.99 and I really like how the price of this one is so reasonable. 3.99 for a popular and newer title in the ebook industry is like finding a unicorn. It's well worth the money and more. Pick it up!<br/><br/>Edit 1: I knew the 3.99 was too good to be true lol! They upped the price because now it's being advertised all over and what with the movie coming out they know they stand to make a profit. I'm not mad, but I'm disappointed for those who missed the great sale.<br/><br/>Also I should say that the book reads as a little pretentious, I won't pretend it isn't. But it's still very likeable.</span>"
1.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3NZZA7DN39JL5?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in Our Stars will break your heart, but in the best kind of way.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I have to admit that I had ridiculously high expectations for this novel: I've known and loved John Green's other works for quite some time- the mere idea that this one might be anything less than John's usual standard wasn't something I was willing to entertain. Then there was the fact that I had pre-ordered my copy about six months before it was released, meaning that by the time the shiny blue cover dropped through the letterbox I was just about ready to explode from suppressed excitement and nervous butterflies. Of course, I needn't have worried that I'd be disappointed.  The Fault in Our Stars didn't just live up to my expectations, but blew them all into microscopic pieces and set a whole new, glittering bar for Young Adult fiction in the future.<br/>I'll spare you the plot details, save to say that TFiOS is simply about being young; about falling in love for the first time; about facing mortality and illness and deciding how you reconcile with the fact that nothing, not you or the greatest novels or the best people, can exist forever. Simply put, TFiOS is beautiful and whilst the story is tinged with plenty of sadness, you can't help but feel uplifted by the warmth and humour that permeates every chapter in the form of Hazel and Augustus.<br/>Read it. Love it. Devote your attention to it wholeheartedly. And most importantly give yourself plenty of time, because the moment you finish you'll want to turn back to the first page and start all over again.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1O1H507L6A4AW?ASIN=014242417X	Don't hold-off like I did, read this book now!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">For a girl who begins the book telling us she is dying of cancer and might be depressed, Hazel Lancaster is certainly one of the most alive characters I've read about in a book for a long time. In fact, every character in this novel is so vividly written that you feel like you could be friends with them. I was worried that the fact that many of the characters have cancer would turn this in to a depressing book where I pitied the characters more than anything. I'm so glad that did not turn out to be the case. I've read other reviews where people say the book has too much melodrama, or that the teenagers are unrealistic. On the contrary, I think the book handles the inherent melodrama of cancer quite well, and there is enough humor and inside jokes sprinkled throughout to balance the parts which necessarily make your heart ache. And I think the readers who say the teens aren't realistic aren't giving teenagers enough credit.<br/><br/>It is rare that a book moves me to actual tears because I care so deeply about what happens to the characters, but this book did. It is also rare that a book forces me to rethink my perspective on things for days after I read it, but this book did as well. And isn't that what you want, when you read? You want a book that takes you so completely outside your reality that you think about things and feel things that you haven't experienced before. If that's what you look for in books, The Fault in Our Stars is for you.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RLTO8TXDHRVOK?ASIN=014242417X	Absolutely brilliant	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Hazel has been sick for three years, and she knows she's not going to get any better. When she meets Augustus Waters, everything in her life changes. Augustus is funny and vibrant and unexpected. The two bond over Hazel's favorite book, An Imperial Affliction, and before they know it, they're falling in love. Suddenly Hazel's life is a whole lot more than the falling action of an unspectacular novel.<br/><br/>John Green's latest book is absolutely brilliant. His characters are so realistic and down to earth, but fantastically memorable at the same time. Hazel is sick, but she tries not to let her illness define her. She's very funny and her gallows humor makes her a very accessible character--she's a teenage girl who doesn't take herself too seriously, not a heroically strong, righteous sick girl. Augustus livens up the book much in the same way he livens up Hazel's life. His endless humor, just-go-with-it attitude, and his metaphorical take on life and death are all so appealing. There are many literary references that drive the character and plot development in The Fault in Our Stars, but they flow just as naturally as the pop culture references, making the book unassumingly intelligent. The twist to this story is tragic, yet the book isn't a ""sad"" one. Like Hazel, who makes the funny choice when telling a sad story, Green makes a potentially depressing topic overflow with humor and life. The result is something achingly realistic and human.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R9YXTLKVMK47Y?ASIN=014242417X	Review	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars was an amazing book. The story was very well put together and the characters were fun to discover, despite the sentiment the book is meant to give. It definitely ended the complete opposite way that I thought it would, and that's what made it 10 times more enjoyable.<br/><br/>I loved learning about the characters, more specifically Hazel Grace Lancaster and Augustus Waters, the main characters, as well as Isaac. I found it was genius to have a completely different love story than any other, especially with the different personalities going around. Regardless of it being a sad book, it was nice and refreshing to see characters with different approaches on life.<br/><br/>The way John Green formulated the story was nice and made the book an easy read. I think my favourite thing about it was that it ended a bit like An Imperial Affliction, an imaginary book in the story. It basically ends in the middle of a sentence. What happens to Hazel? To Isaac?  We will never know.<br/><br/>That being said, I have to give this book 5 out of 5 stars, not because it made me emotional, not because it was a beautifully written cancer story, but because John was able to create something original all on its own, something different other than the fact that it was a different kind of love story. The Fault in Our Stars was fresh, new, and definitely worth my time.<br/><br/>I look forward to reading the rest of John's books.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3A7WCP07I3UDG?ASIN=014242417X	phenomenal	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The most important thing to know going into The Fault in Our Stars, I think, is that the dialogue is *totally* unrealistic. The heroine and hero are 16 and 17, and nobody, and I mean that literally, nobody talks the way these kids talk, especially but not limited to teenagers. Think about the fast-paced and overly deep dialogue in ""Gilmore GIrls"" or anything by Aaron Sorkin, novelized.<br/><br/>And it's absolutely brilliant.<br/><br/>So Hazel and Augustus don't talk the way people really talk. The thing about it is that they talk the way people *feel*, and that's what makes great stories great stories and real life so often boring and confusing and frustrating -- we can never quite say things the way we mean them, but these characters can.<br/><br/>And this is a great story. Not in the sense that the plot pulls you in and keeps you on the edge of your seat, nothing like that; I knew more or less what would happen from the first 25 pages or so. It just doesn't matter. The language is captivatingly beautiful--I doubt there were ten wasted words in the whole thing--and Green has a way of phrasing certain maybe-otherwise-unremarkable observations about life and human nature that makes them thought-provoking and soul-rattling and unforgettable. And the way things unfold, even if you know exactly how they're unfolding, is beautiful and heart-wrenching. I really can't recommend this enough, and would to just about anyone.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3P7QI1P1AA9FO?ASIN=014242417X	A wonderfully touching story ...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">It has been a long time since I last read a book this good - Young Adult fiction at its best.  The romance is vaguely reminiscent of Love Story, without the melodrama and the sentimentality.  The language is effervescent and the book grapples with the hard questions of life with tremendous intellectual honesty.<br/><br/>I was curious to read what detractors say about the story.  There appear to be two main pieces of criticism.  The first is that the characters don't speak like teenagers.  That seems like a gross over generalization of teenagers.  I certainly spoke like this when I was a teenager, as did most of my friends.  Not every teenager is uneducated and unable to string two words together.  Having said that, we are talking about characters who are extremely erudite - characters who, for instance, find the existential angst of Sylvia Plath interesting.<br/><br/>The second is that many of the supporting cast of characters are somewhat unidimensional. This criticism is accurate, but then again, this is a Young Adult novel and not a vast meandering work of literature that fully explores the world.  Moreover, the book is written in first person and in a sense, how much you learn about the various characters is really a function of the narrator's interest in those characters.<br/><br/>The point is, if you have not read this book, you should.  There are few books you are likely to encounter that are this moving.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1RIJZWHDZ6U7Y?ASIN=014242417X	Witticism's in the Face of Realism	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">John Green's latest New York Times bestseller ""The Fault in Our Stars"" doesn't disappoint those of us who have come to adore his fast-paced witticisms and charming insights into the minds of today's youth. The storyline follows a teenage Hazel Grace as she battles thyroid cancer, makes new friends and becomes ensnared with Augustus Waters. Augustus (who is remission) meets Hazel at a support group helps her achieve her dream of meeting her idol, an author by the name of Peter Von Houten. While reading you are hoping for a happy ending even though you can feel the storm cloud lurking above your head and the heartbreak approaching. I feel as though I can say with certainty that ""The Fault in Our Stars"" is the most heart wrenching love story in modern young adult literature. Despite that Green manages to help the reader look past the heartbreak and realism though-out the journey and fall in love with the characters even when we know it's doomed. In today's current literary climate of sparkly vampires and love struck zombie's Green writes a Young Adult novel that reaches into the human consciousness as the characters' ponder their own mortality and the realistic chances of surviving cancer. He makes the reader deliberate on life's big questions, feel gripping emotions and laugh through the sadness. This is the kind of novel that can inspire young adult's and change the face of YA literature.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3V2U8G9KQ3KJ5?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I'm always a sucker for a cancer book. Don't really know why since I'm very much a hypochondriac and since my reading of The Fault in Our Stars have already scheduled myself for a physical... just in case, you know, I have cancer. Don't judge.<br/><br/>The Fault in Our Stars was amazing. I read it in a few short hours. I was that engrossed and fell that in love with its characters. Sixteen year old Hazel is living with cancer and upon her mother's request begins attending a youth cancer support group. There she meets Augustus Waters - cancer survivor and the type of guy who grabs life by the reins and just runs with it.<br/><br/>Yes, this is a cancer book. But don't see that as a downer. Both Hazel and Augustus are such uplifting characters. They give the story a light tone and not make it as suffocating as some cancer books can be. Their witty sense of humors, the way that they deal with sickness, their friendship and budding romance as well as their obsession with An Imperial Affliction and its author make a fascinating read.<br/><br/>Needless to say, it IS a cancer book, so there were tears shed on my end, but I would not trade those moments for laughter. I was enthralled by this story and was very impressed by the way Mr. Green tackled some heavy subjects in a tender yet masterful way.<br/><br/>Hands down The Fault in Our Stars is one of the best books I've read in a while... and that's not a ""cancer perk.""</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RXAPT3ZUGELDL?ASIN=014242417X	Green is King!!!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I knew what to expect when I picked up this book. I wanted to read it before the movie came out (which is a thing with me, and probably millions of other readers). John Green is a writer in the highest form of the word. The way he wove this story and the characters together was an epic journey.<br/><br/>You pick up this book, and you know what's coming, but all along you have this nagging hope, this positive optimism that Green never offers you himself. Yet you hold your breath waiting. Things cannot be this bleak, this heartbreaking for two teenage kids. Yet that is one of the things that make this story so powerful. The heartbreak.<br/><br/>It is heartbreaking to read about Hazel and her lungs. Heartbreaking to watch her parents grieve for a child that is still living. It is heartbreaking to watch these two broken beings fall for each other and be better for it.<br/><br/>The writing and the story deserve a five star rating. It is from my own sadness and my normal upbeat self that it received a four. It is just TOO sad, TOO much heartbreak for someone such as myself.<br/><br/>""The Fault in Our Stars"" transcends YA fiction. This is a book for all ages, for all of time. But you have been warned. It's a downer. Yet it isn't if you take it for what it is meant to be.<br/><br/>""Okay"".<br/><br/>I recommend this book to fans of YA fiction and romance.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2IUDX0X8WJIIG?ASIN=014242417X	FAULT IN OUR STARS	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Oh. My. Word.<br/>This book freaking ripped my heart out. I emotionally died, but it was the most pleasurable of a death, okay? I loved all the characters, the story, and the writing style. Sometimes the dialogue of every character seemed to be the same unnaturally flowery speech that is not common for teenagers, but I loved learning new words and phrases like 'hamartia' and 'sobriquet.'<br/>I have not thought so much about the meaning of my being here on earth in a loooooong time. This book truly makes one wonder about his existence and the purpose. As Augustus would say, ""My life is existentially fraught."" (Another phrase I learned)<br/>Which brings me to the characters. John Green made these characters so REAL. That is the best way to describe them. Their reactions to situations were just like a person in their situation in real life would be like. These children with cancer did not have amazing, miracle-expecting, hopeful attitudes. They were as bitter as I expect I would be if I were in their situation. And this resulted in me thinking of them as real people rather than characters in my book.<br/>WARNING: This book will rip your heart out, tear it into little pieces, pour gasoline on it, and light it on fire. But it is so worth it. This is probably the best book I've read all year, and it definitely pulled at my heart and maybe shaped it slightly different.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R12FQAXG3080PO?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in Our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was an awe inspiring work of literature. It was a book that not only met my requirements for a good book(such as plot development) but also inspired a deeper want to know and love this world. To look at art and say that it is beautiful is one thing, to look at art and say I want to add more to it is another. Because I believe that this earth, this world, this space of physical being, is a great painting. And no matter what you believed made that painting, you are, and forever will be, part of that work. You may be an infinitesimal drop of paint, but you are there. This book aroused that understanding within me. I am a twelve year old, I am in sixth grade, and I go to a public school. I am average. I most likely will never write a book of any worth, nor will I find a cure for cancer, but I, along with everyone else on this earth, will contribute something to this great painting. The fact that humans are even able to relate our life to a painting is remarkable. The universe and a painting are completely different, just like red and square are. Yet we are able to see a connection, to see a relationship between two complete opposites. I believe that this shows us that humans were not made for this earth, but to live around it, as pure beings of consciousness. If a book can arouse this type of thought from a twelve year old, what could it do for someone else?</span>"

If you do not cry there is a strong possibility you have no soul and you should probably get that checked out. I went into this telling myself I would not cry because everyone else said they did and I would too. So, I figured since I am expecting it to be sad I will be prepared. I wasn’t. You won’t be either.<br/><br/>  I do not want to give a single spoiler even though you can go see this at the movies right now. I figured this would be much like other loves stories that are entwined with tragedy. (A Walk To Remember, P.S. I Love You, etc) The characters were believable and well developed. I felt an incredible bond to Hazel, Augustus and Isaac. We follow the story as told to us by Hazel and she maintains a consistent and REAL voice throughout.<br/><br/>  This was not a teddy bear soft, candy coated version of a sad love story. It was soul shakingly, heartbreakingly raw and painful. You know those girlie moods we get when we sad “I need chocolate and a fuzzy blanket and a really good tear jerker”? This is it. I read this book yesterday and I still feel the ache in my chest. My fiance sat beside me several times yesterday and stroked my head as I sobbed and read.<br/><br/>  I realize I have told you no real details and I am okay with that because I insist you read it yourself. Now…Go…I’ll save you some tissues.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RI68Z4FL871S1?ASIN=014242417X	Don't let that dreary back cover copy deter you-this is a beautiful book!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Don't let that dreary back cover copy deter you-this is a beautiful book!  John Green covers the whole range of human emotion in this gem of a YA novel.  He mixes big-time tragedy, complicated and interesting characters, and a surprisingly funny cancer support group to serve up one sublime cocktail of a story.<br/><br/>Sixteen year old Hazel has cancer.  The extra bad kind.  She meets Augustus at her cringe-worthy support group and sparks fly.  We watch them fall in love, grapple with issues of morality, life, and death, and face their uncertain futures together.  Even Hazel's character states, ""Cancer books suck.""  This is not such a book.<br/><br/>I was impressed with the emotional depth of both Hazel and Augustus.  Unlike most YA novels, the big bad evil awful keeping them apart is the ugly reality of a future, or lack of it, with cancer.  We witness two young people facing a crash course in growing up, and deciding what is really important in their lives.  It reads as a true, totally believable love story.  It's far more than that, though.<br/><br/>With all this seriousness, though, it's still an extremely witty novel.  I actually laughed while reading it, which is rare for me.  Green is a master with realistic dialogue.  He writes teens with compassion and utter understanding.<br/><br/>Please give this gem a try.  You'll be happy you did.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I bought this book when it first came out and finally almost 2 years later got around to reading it as I wanted to read it before the movie came out next month.  First John Green book I've ever read sadly...... this one touched my heart especially the last chapter where Hazels looking around soaking in every detail.  I caught my dad doing this in his hospital room before he died..... Intently focusing on every detail of each family member in his  room that day...... when I realized what he was doing I leaned over and whispered into his ear "" I'm taking you in too Dad""...... this just brought back all those memories and I sobbed  through most of the book..... But if you pass by this book thinking it's only going to make you sad you will miss out on such a tremendous experience..... The humor is so much like my family when both my mom and dad died.... we cried we laughed we cried again. I purchased the audible for this book which I must say she did a fantastic job as well.... And I am very picky we're audibles are concerned..... This book isn't so much about death by cancer as it is the celebration of life.... And the joy and miracle of love! Highly recommend this one as it""'ll no doubt end up on your list of top favorites.  So glad I read it before the movie and so glad I finally stop procrastinating... Extremely glad Mr. Green finally finished it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RC86FDVTTUJ6?ASIN=014242417X	Speechless	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I'm not a fast reader. Even with a good book it takes me at least a week or more to get through. But I finished this book in less than 12 hrs (would've been less than that but life kept doing that annoying thing of existing and interrupting).<br/><br/>Putting aside the beautiful story of the characters for a minute, the writing was flawless. If there was no plot whatsoever I would still curl up and die from the beauty of John Green's prose. He is one of the best. Every page had a paragraph or line I wanted to highlight or tattoo on my forearm to remember forever. Fantastic truths that could resonate with anyone, healthy or sick, young or old.<br/><br/>But of course the story, the beautiful, epic tragedy that is Hazel and Augustus. It tore me up, made me think, made me laugh; I wanted to be in the room with them just to observe their crazy, witty yet philosophical debates on even the simplest things. Their love story was beautiful, but also the connections with other characters. I loved Issac's story just as much as the main characters. I felt for these people without ever having gone through what they were going through. John Green brought them to life in a very real, poignant way.<br/><br/>I think of all the years I've been on Amazon, I've written maybe 2 reviews. This would be the second. If you don't read this book, you are missing out.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R25FB25H9QKOY1?ASIN=014242417X	Poignant & Moving	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was recommended to me several times yet I didn’t pick it up until my book club decided to read it. I hadn’t heard or read any review before hand which I am truly thankful for because it would have ruined it for me.<br/><br/>This is one of those books you go into knowing someone is going to die. Let’s face it – kids with cancer – there is only one way for it to end. What I wasn’t expecting is how much I truly loved the characters. Kids with illnesses grow up to fast and seem to be always ahead of their years which I found with Hazel and Augustus but they were just so down to earth and real, how could I not fall in love with them?  They were honest about their fears and hopes and scared to wish for more.<br/><br/>Augustus falls in love instantly even though Hazel tries to talk him out of it. I love her line – “I’m a grenade”. How many of us haven’t felt that way?  He woos her which is just plain romantic on so many levels. I guess I mostly loved the connection that these two had.<br/><br/>The author also did an amazing job with the character Peter Van Houten who was the author of Hazels favorite book “An Imperial Affliction”. He was such a bastard yet I understood him to, actually felt for him.<br/><br/>Yes the book is sad and it made me cry but more importantly it also surprised me in ways I didn’t think it would for a YA book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R36ZTAD3BS4OEK?ASIN=014242417X	Sheer Brilliance	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I think this is one of those books that I can't fully comprehend due to its sheer brilliance. From the metaphorical dance to the layers upon layers of depth, this book dives far beyond our humanness and into the uncharted waters of infinity and intelligent symbolic interaction.<br/><br/>Life, love, and death are beyond humanity's scope of cognitive understanding, our books should follow in suit. Even when we experience these facets of life personally, we uncover layers that inevitably reach beyond ourselves and into the unknown. What I love about this book is that I felt blur between reality and fiction fading into nothingness until the story became so real for me, yet in many ways, incomprehensible like my own life often is.<br/><br/>I find some answers to life's big questions, but most of the time I'm treading the waters of uncertainty. This book took me on the journey of Hazel Grace and Augustus Waters as we discovered some answers, but found that there are many more beyond this life that seem unanswerable.<br/><br/>This is one of the many books that I will always treasure in my heart. It made me laugh, cry, wonder, and feel the loss of two friends who are confined to a space in time that ends too quickly and cuts too deeply. It is truly an extraordinary work of fiction that deserves to be read and reread for years to come.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1JWC0OBMY4TJN?ASIN=014242417X	Pretty Much the Worst Book that Everyone Loves	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Originally reviewed on Goodreads and The Hardcover Lover<br/><br/>I'm going to warn you that my review of this book is very critical. I did not enjoy this book, but I would appreciate that you respect my opinion. If you really loved this book and might get offended by a negative review, please feel free to stop reading. I won't mind.<br/><br/>When I first decided that I wanted to read this book, it was because the synopsis was interesting. A lot of people were talking about it too. And not just the people on Goodreads. I literally heard about this book all the time. Then I started reading, and I realized that the kind of cancer that Hazel originally had is the kind I am most likely to get. It intrigued me enough to keep reading. I mean why not, right? I kept thinking that maybe I could learn something about it in case it were to happen to me.<br/><br/>Unfortunately, that was where my interest in the book stopped. The Fault in Our Stars the most predictable book that I'd read in quite a long time. I pretty much knew what was going to happen as soon as a new character was introduced. It was annoying so sit there and read about things that I already knew were going to happen, and it took away from my enjoyability of the book. I don't even know how I knew everything because I'd never read a John Green book before this, so I definitely wasn't familiar with his style.<br/><br/>Like I've already stated, I really thought this novel would be this superb book because I have heard and read many great things about it, but honestly, it's just horrid. So many people told me to read it, and while I understand that they love and adore it, I still wanted to smack them in the head with the book upon completing it.<br/><br/>The Fault in Our Stars was so easy to read that it was boring. Even the short chapters, which I feel are just included to speed along the plot made it dull and monotone. Like how about some variety there, Green? I read this book so slow because of how boring it is, and I am not a slow reader at all. The time it took for me to get through this terrible book was the most painful reading experience of my life.<br/><br/>Augustus and Hazel are two characters who angered me. They were overly annoying, and in multiple ways. I've met a lot of teens, and not one of them talks like Augustus and Hazel do. I've had quite a few family friends suffer from childhood cancer, and this isn't realistic at all. I can't even imagine someone with cancer, especially a teenager with cancer, speaking so beautifully and eloquently all of the time. Don't get me wrong... some of what they said was awesome, but it wasn't realistic. It's just a way to make everything much more romantic than it really is. Also, I was quite offended by how Green romanticized cancer.  I've actually seen and heard kids wish that they had cancer because of this book. I'm sorry, but we can't live in a world where people want cancer because cancer is not the kind of disease that one should wish on themselves.<br/><br/>I understand from what Green has said that this book is not supposed to be a cancer book but a book about living with cancer. If you ask me, Green failed and delivered your cliche cancer book. It made me angry to see cancer presented this way because I've seen quite a few of my brother and sister's friends die of childhood cancer and this book was not a realistic depiction of the suffering I've seen.<br/><br/>I honestly just don't understand all of the hype about the book. It seems like it gets bigger and bigger by the day. It's not going away. While I'm sure people will say that it's an amazing book, it's definitely not the most amazing book on the planet. If anything, it's one of the worst books ever written. There are better realistic fiction books out there, and I'm only sorry that I didn't stop reading this book. I could have saved myself some time and anger.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1113UFIMHKAXN?ASIN=014242417X	8.2/10 - Vivid and beautiful, but a tad unrealistic	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Note: May contain spoilers. Proceed with caution.<br/><br/>I always find it intimidating approaching a piece of literature once it's received an unprecedented amount of high praise, and this intimidation only worsens if the aforementioned praise is there from the get go. No one wants to be that guy who goes, ""Yea... this kind of sucked,"" because it's fun to feel like you are a part of something. Truthfully, this is one of the reasons I put off reading The Fault in Our Stars for so long, and though I'm pleased to announce I am not that guy, I didn't love it, either.<br/><br/>One of the things that immediately differentiates this story from majority of the books I've read is the way it was written. The Fault in Our Stars is told from the perspective of 16 year old cancer patient, Hazel Grace--right off the bat that's three new elements: first person, cancer patient, and the main character's a woman. Because of this, I soon became enthralled by what I was reading, and before I knew it three hours had passed. Within the first sitting I had already burned through half the novel, and if I didn't have to deal with my daily obligations, I would have kept going.<br/><br/>And it is through Hazel's journal-esque storytelling that the narrative progresses for the entire novel. As a cancer patient, Hazel's mom makes her go (against her will) to Support Group as a way of coping with the heavy emotional toll that comes with the territory. This is where she eventually meets Augustus Waters, a cancer survivor who now has to wear a prosthetic leg. Though there is an obvious connection, Hazel fears perusing a relationship on the grounds that she's ""a grenade,"" but anyone who's ever read a love story knows how that goes.<br/><br/>The thing that captured me instantly--and I love when authors pull this off--was how vivid and real everything felt. I was there with Hazel in Support Group; I could see her facial expressions, and hear the shyness in her voice as she talked with Augustus (aka Gus) for the first time. Best of all, I felt for and related to her despite the fact she was a woman. The writing truly is captivating, charming, and confident in itself, which is what makes this such an easy story to jump into and get lost in.<br/><br/>However, it did reach a point where the way John Green wrote these characters began to defy the laws of realism. There's no arguing that there are some truly intelligent young adults in the world, but the idea that these two individuals are not only extremely philosophical, but also capable of perfectly articulating some deep emotional insight on the spot is highly improbable. A realistic outlook on life may make you more intelligent than your peers, but Hazel is still only 16 years old.<br/><br/>This unrealistic aspect is not restricted to character traits, however, but also in the way Hazel--and to some degree, Augustus--seems to get whatever she wants. As someone who has never had the misfortune of knowing someone with cancer, I can't comment too much on this, but the two main characters label this phenomenon as ""Cancer Perks."" You're a minor and want alcohol? Sure. You already used your ""wish,"" but you want to go to Amsterdam? Why not. In my opinion, there has to be a point where an adult just goes, ""No.""<br/><br/>Aside from these two things, my only other minor complaint would be the rushed and sudden nature of the novel's conclusion. In retrospect, the ending itself is perfectly fine, but there was never a sense a closure for me as a reader. It felt as if there was still some story to be told, and had John Green paced himself a little more, I think he could have avoided this. Other than that, though, the writing is spot on, and this is the first book in a while where I haven't found any typos or other strange errors in the text.<br/><br/>Overall Score: 8.2/10 - Is The Fault in Our Stars good? Definitely. Is it the perfect, soul crushing, best-book-ever-created novel that people make it out to be? Not really. It's an imperfect story about our imperfect world, and it manages to consistently entertain despite its flaws. Hazel is an extremely likable, and beautifully realized, character that has you itching to get to the next page, and the way John Green handles the subject of cancer is commendable, to say the least. I would say check it out, but based on the fact the movie just came out I'm sure you already have.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3KBJRP84FGBQ6?ASIN=014242417X	My Favorite Book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">It's been two years since this book came out. Two years since I read it. Since then, I've read it multiple times, and have continued to fall in love with the story and characters.<br/><br/>This book is my favorite not only because it's well-written, has a good storyline, and interesting characters, but because some of the themes in this book are extremely relevant to my life in a way that makes me understand the purpose of this book even more. It makes me appreciate the side characters, like Hazel Grace's parents, in a way that I wouldn't have before, because I've seen my parents think that they were going to lose a child plenty of times, and I've seen it break their hearts. That's just one of the many examples of why this book is so emotional and captivating.<br/><br/>I like how there are funny moments as well as sad ones, because, for most teenagers, life isn't one or the other, but a mixture of both. There are pretty sucky, tragic things that happen, but also simple moments that make us laugh. I think that John Green balances them out extremely well, and, as a teenager, not once did I think that his portrayal of teenagers was off.<br/><br/>It's been two years, and I still suck at talking about this book. I love it too much to put it into words, and it means so much to me. I hope even more people can enjoy this book, too!</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R27VRJ6ZFTEBB7?ASIN=014242417X	A Work of Pure, Undiluted Beauty	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars is so profound and moving, that I do not feel that my review can do it justice. TFiOS treads the line between all human emotions: Joy, fear, shock, incredulity, and humor to name a few. This is a book that, without giving spoilers, explores some of the deepest and most asked questions of human existence while never being condescending or self-righteous, and with no attempts to merely hand the reader the answers. TFiOS is that rarest of books in which you can both laugh and cry on the same page, a book that draws the reader so intimately in that in the course of the novel it becomes real. John Green's works exhibit an uncanny knack for making the fictional world become real for the reader, and TFiOS is no exception. It develops complex and believable characters with assets and flaws the same as any real person. TFiOS is truly exceptional in the sense that it understands that ""Young Adult"" does not mean that the reader is uniformed or ill-equipped to handle real themes and real issues. Much like Paper Towns and Looking For Alaska, TFiOS gives the reader just enough discussion of deep and meaningful questions to encourage exploration while offering new insight into the world in which we live. John Green's ability to imagine complex characters is on par with the greatest of all literature. TFiOS is, in short, a masterpiece: beautifully sculpted as only a genius could create.</span>"

There is no cure, no getting better and no chance of survival. But a drug called Phalanxifor is helping to prolong her fight, even if it isn't curing the build-up of fluid that creaks her lungs.<br/><br/>Hazel's mum and dad know what a blessing it is to have her with them for just a little while longer. But her lengthened life won't mean much if she doesn't get up off her butt and do something with it. So they send her into the Literal Heart of Jesus (architecturally speaking) - to a cancer support group where people talk and cry, praise the battle-weary cancer kids and repeat stories about losing their testicles to the big-C. It's a hoot.<br/><br/>And then one day, while sitting around discussing a cancer survivor's current state of ball-lessness, Augustus Waters walks in, and everything changes.<br/><br/>Augustus Waters is currently in remission, minus one leg courtesy of the cancer monster. Augustus has stared death in the face, and laughed heartily . . . and now he continues to chortle. He sticks cigarettes in his mouth but doesn't smoke them. He is a terrible driver. His best friend is about to be blind, and he falls irrevocably and stupidly in love with Hazel pretty much at first sight.<br/><br/>But Hazel is reluctant. Augustus has already lost so much to cancer, and she doesn't want to be another grenade in his life (sure to wound) . . . so she tries to resist his crooked smile and general hotness. Just friends, okay?<br/><br/>`The Fault in Our Stars' is the new contemporary YA book from astronomically popular Edgar &amp; Printz winning author, John Green.<br/><br/>Brace yourselves. John Green's newest book is a love story starring two cancer-ridden teenagers. Yes, it's sad. Yes, it's actually so sad you will blubber while reading and be all snotty by the last page. Expect great big gulping, hiccupping tears. The embarrassing kind. The kind you don't want to shed on public transport. You have been warned.<br/><br/>That being said . . . this is a John Green novel, so it's totally worth your crying, blubbering, hiccupping, snotting tears. Truth be told, `The Fault in Our Stars' is down-right magnificent.<br/><br/>Our narrator is Hazel Grace Lancaster - terminally ill `cancer kid' whose mortal coil has been somewhat lengthened thanks to a (minor) miracle drug. But Hazel has been sick for so long that she doesn't exactly know how to be normal and just live. She's only sixteen but attending college, having surpassed her classmates studying by herself while being cooped up indoors. She's a quick-witted firecracker of a girl who has side-stepped the brink of death only to become a terminal couch-potato (addicted to `America's Next Top Model'). Her mother, and full-time carer, wants to see Hazel interact with the world. Hence, Cancer Support Group in the Literal Heart of Jesus. Hence, meeting Augustus Waters. Hence inconveniently falling for a cancer survivor who she is bound to hurt and maim when the death-knock sounds for her.<br/><br/>**<br/>The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars,<br/>But in ourselves, that we are underlings.<br/>  ***<br/><br/>Hazel and Augustus grow closer (despite her reservations) when she shares an important part of herself with him in the form of her favourite book, Peter Van Houten's `An Imperial Affliction'. A book famous for ending abruptly, and somewhat incompletely, about a cancer girl and her glass-eyed mother who falls for a rich Tulip Man. But the abrupt ending plagues Hazel, and then Augustus. Peter Van Houten has not written another word in seven years, and has no plans of writing a sequel or answering fan-mail.<br/><br/>I loved the story behind `An Imperial Affliction', mainly because it felt like Green putting a little tiny bit of himself in his book - a bit of life imitating art. John Green's first novel was `Looking for Alaska' - a Printz-award winning book that beguiled and surely frustrated many teen readers. Frustrated, because there's a rather crushing death in the book that is never fully explained. No definitive reason is given for a beloved character's passing, and I have read reviews in which people cursed and lamented the lack of resolution at the end of `Alaska' (despite the fact that there's truth in the not knowing). In `Fault', Hazel and Augustus wrack their brains over the abrupt mid-sentence ending of `An Imperial Affliction' - which hints at the protagonist's death, but never confirms it. They become obsessed with the idea of getting the answers from the author, Van Houten himself.<br/><br/>I loved this story-within-a-story. It feels like John Green speaking rather directly and affectionately to his readers (but it should be noted that Green couldn't be further from the Van Houten character). Through Hazel's obsession with `An Imperial Affliction', Green assures readers that he understands how important fictional characters can be . . . that they have a life of their own within reader's hearts and minds, and that the author has a certain `contract' to fulfil with the reader by letting them walk into our lives and consume us for a little while. And consume us they do, such is the case with Hazel and Augustus . . .<br/><br/>These characters will get to you. You'll wish that they are real people you can hang out with, talk to them and try to keep up with their whip-quick comebacks and banter. You will love them. Augustus is sweet and earnest, a perpetual optimist who goes after Hazel with everything he has. He and Hazel are a riot together - bouncing off each other beautifully, able to sway between deep metaphorical musings and laugh-out-loud repartee. They're both a little bit brilliant. Which is why reading their doomed star-crossed love hurts so much (and will induce aforementioned snotty blubbering).<br/><br/>Something I especially love about John Green novels is the abundance of quotable quotes. I come away from a Green reading with many curious thoughts and ideas to turn over in my mind. And since the themes and topics in `Fault' are so expansive - hopeful and morbid, set on epic life-or-death scales - the book is full of heartfelt reflections and pin-point accuracies.<br/><br/>Nobody should be surprised to learn that `The Fault in Our Stars' is simply sublime (as we all knew it would be). John Green is exploring a deathly disease with gallows humour and infinite tenderness. It's a total cliché, but you will laugh and you will cry. And by the end of the book you'll feel a little bit bruised and battered, tender and exposed. But Hazel and Augustus will stay with you for a long while after reading, John Green having fulfilled his promise to the reader that these characters matter; they have weight and substance, and they will not be easily forgotten. You will feel lucky for having read about them.</span>"

I kept thinking that it sounded like a dragon breathing in time with me, like I had this pet dragon who was cuddled up next to me and cared enough about me to time his breaths to mine. I was thinking about that as I sank into sleep.""<br/><br/>Green, John (2012-01-10). The Fault in Our Stars (Kindle Locations 1673-1676). Penguin Group. Kindle Edition.<br/><br/>It is a worthy read.  It may leave you feeling a bit off-kilter afterward but that is because your world will have been given a shake.  Yes, this is a book about a teenaged girl dying of cancer but this book is so much more about living life and making the moments count to last us an eternity if need be.  I cried- wept a bit actually, but I also laughed and hoped and felt like I went along for the amazing ride.  It did not leave me feeling despair, it left me feeling alive and I like books that can do that to a person.<br/><br/>This is an amazing book and probably now ranks among the best of my favorites.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1YNU7IY0P3CYL?ASIN=014242417X	Pretentious dialogue and lack of any true connection	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Every character talks and acts the same way. It takes away from any realness to the book and the people in it. All that may be somewhat okay if you actually enjoy that singular persona. But to me it comes across as incredibly pretentious, arrogant and self-centered. By the end of the book, I didn't feel anything for the characters or should I say ""character"". When the taxi driver starts spurting out metaphors, you know something is not quite right. And for all those ridiculous metaphorical intellectual discussions, it was surprisingly shallow. Those fancy big words or smart literary references don't seem to add anything to the book. The only thing I really learned was the personality of John Green and perhaps the people who directly relate to this book. That made me more sad than the ending. The connection between Hazel and Gus was based off superficial lust and mutual pseudo intellectualism. And that drives me crazy because the cancer and the shared pain is probably the strongest bond there could be. Such a wasted opportunity to truly explore and share that pain. Even at the bitter end, it was still about the looks and silly words. I mean really? If this book was done in an honest emotional way, it could have been heartfelt and real. It scares me a little that people can relate so strongly to this book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RDH54WC4HL4J8?ASIN=014242417X	Honest Fiction For Any Age	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I had just downloaded this book on my Kindle (best  $3.99 I ever spent)  when a 16 year old friend, who's a voracious reader asked me if I'd ever read the book or heard of the author.  She told me it was the best book she'd ever read and that she read it straight through in four hours without stopping except to refresh her kleenex supply.  I was honestly not thrilled about the subject matter since I have a special needs grand daughter and spend a lot of time in the company of these amazing children who are dealing with extraordinary adversity.  I was, however, very happy that I'd purchased this book once I began the journey and that was the case throughout, to the end.  The characters have been tagged by some of the other reviewers as not being typical of teenagers but they've obviously not spent time with many young persons bearing the heavy burdens of cancer, CP, MS, etc.  This is a gritty look at the hardships involved for the children and the parents of terminal illness, yet first &amp; foremost, it's a love story which transcends your expectations.  Love of self, love of that one special person many times described as our soul-mate and love of parents who sacrifice daily to care for these special children.  It's all here in what is obviously a fictional representation of the reality of many.  Bravo,  Mr. Green.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2HSZYJ1NOUKZ5?ASIN=014242417X	The best book I have ever read...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Now...I do not say that this is the best book I have ever read lightly. I have read....a lot of books in my life, it is what I do...read non stop. I bought this book along with the perks of being a wallflower and truly had very little intention of reading it, it was just a whim. Then I started it. I was caught immediately and did not put the book down until I finished which was about 9 p.m. I laughed, I shamelessly bawled my eyes out while my husband looked on in confusion and I was devastated when the book ended...and at how it ended. But I was also...happy is not the right word because it's tragic, but, hmmm. It gave me a sense of closure and the book ended with something that made me smile despite the tears. I was so distraught I went to the movie, in a theatre an hour away to see the last showing 11:25 p.m. I just had to see this. I cried at the movie theatre too...this book is funny, insightful and heart wrenching in its poignancy. This is profound, it is not a book that has a title like 'and the highlander wore plaid.' This is not your run of the mill novel. It is deep and touching and I was thoroughly impressed (and sexist lol) that a man could have written something that touched me so deeply. Absolutely hands down the best book I have ever read. Bravo John Green for this masterpiece.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1U49WBSSS411H?ASIN=014242417X	Insightful Story & Powerful Narration	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book and its telling si a gift beyond entertainment.  John Green's insight into human mortality is powerful and meaningful.  Teenagers forced to face mortality by the challenge of cancer when their understanding of self and life are yet undiscovered is bold, painful, and genuine.  It was a story that chose John Green for the telling.  It was an eleven year struggle to deliver this book.  I am thanful for John Green's apprciation of the augmentation of the story that could happen through a spot-on narration and for Kate Rudd who delivered it wonderfully.  John Green gets the power of the ""numbers"" in the story of cancer.  Agustus has a diagnosis of bone cancer with an 80% chance of survival.  The non-cancer patient will wonder why you shoud be worried with numbers like that.  But Agustus chooses a burial plot and a ""death suit.""  I recall the the doctors revelation of my childs prognosis with a diagnosis of melanoma at age 19.  85% chance that the cancer could be surgically removed and 100% cure.  If the melanoma had spread (15% chance), then the chance of survival was 5%.  Cancer robs teenagers of their immortality.  I adore the characterand spirit of Hazel Grace.  I rarely read a novel more once.  I will reread this book as I know there willl be more to aborb on a second go round.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R38DY9H1592QBE?ASIN=014242417X	Adorable, well written tear jerker!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I had heard great things about this book, so I decided to download it on my kindle today at roughly 4:30-5:00 PM, and here I am at 11:46PM writing a review of this lovely book.<br/><br/>Let me just say, wow! Breathtaking dialogue! The amazing way of how Hazel and Augustus would speak to one another in an intellectual and poetical way, was truly amazingly written. The story line was very unique, yet it wasn't outlandish or far fetched in any way possible. My only problem with this book is that my expectations for men in real life have now been ruined by the very much original character, Augustus Waters.<br/><br/>I must also add the context, in which a teen girl such as myself, that which Hazel has told the story was very relatable and enjoyable with how John wrote her describing 'ball-lessness' or throwing in a few 'whatever's' just to remind readers that she still is in fact a teenaged girl with just a better than most vocabulary and more developed way of how to say things.<br/><br/>Recommended this book to my dear friend and even offered to read her a chapter a night before school starts up again. I however was joking, but from my summarized version of the story, she kindly accepted the offer. I however am going to make her read it on her own terms. All in all excellent book!</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">i found this book to be amazing to the point of reading it almost non-stop for two days straight until i finished. (that almost beats the record made by the hunger game which i finished in the course of one long school night and regretted for one extremely tiring school day) i didnt really know what to expect out of this book before finally being able to read the first page, and though i could tell that it would be more meaningful and insightful than all but one of the books that ive ever read, both fiction and non-fiction, i still didnt know my feelings for it. now that i have spent all of my time for the past two days reading and absorbing every last bit of the book that i could grab, i do realize what made me love it so much; it was different. true there are many many love stories in the world and many other stories that make you feel a roller coaster of emotions and that make you think about life and death and the true purposes of everything, including the universe itself, but never have i seen/read something that can combine all of these properties into one being so seamlessly ever before in my life along with so many other indescribable traits of a novel and story, and never before this book have i ever been able to describe something so meaningful in simply one word:  Okay.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1CXB400OEUI22?ASIN=014242417X	No Fault in the Stars.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I decided to buy the book ""The Fault in our Stars"" because I've heard all of the rave reviews about the book and it was a great price. ""The Fault in our Stars"" is about Hazel meeting a boy named Augustus (Gus for short) at a cancer support group when Augustus came to support his friend Isaac. Hazel &amp; Augustus hit it off right away. They both view the world in an uncommon way. Hazel loves reading and gives Augustus a book to read ""An Imperial Infliction"", as it is her favorite. Augustus loves the book, even though I believe he loved it because Hazel loved it. The thing about ""An Imperial Infliction"" is that the book just ends in the middle of a sentence, that is the ending. Both Hazel &amp; Augustus want to know what happened because there are so many questions left unanswered. Augustus still has his one wish left from the genies because he is also a cancer survivor. He decides to use his wish for Hazel and take her to Amsterdam to talk with the author of the book in person before Hazel dies from her terminal cancer. While there some very awesome things happen but I don't want to give it away. You HAVE to read this book! I couldn't put it down. It's a very enjoyable read and easily one of my favorite books. Just make sure you have a box of Kleenex by you because your going to need it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R23ETBQ6JDXS6V?ASIN=014242417X	Simply amazing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I've been looking to buy this book for sometime now, and finally caved to try it. Normally, I don't enjoy YA fiction very well because, well, I find them usually poorly written. That is far from the case of this book. John Green's writing reminds me somewhat of Kurt Vonnegut's. Not in the writing style, but rather, like Vonnegut, Green can write work that is easy to read quickly and miss how deep the actual words are. It honestly takes deliberate readings for the words to mean what they were intended.<br/><br/>The main characters, Hazel and Augustus, were wonderful. I admit that I didn't much care for them at the beginning. They sounded too self-pitying (Hazel) and pretentious (Gus), but by a third of the way through, I had come to love them both. I love that Hazel isn't worried about being an ""inspiration to all people"" in her illness, but rather, that she is just trying to live a life with cancer the best way she knows how. Augustus... what a wonderful character. The metaphors, the smiles, the romancing. He made me swoon, and I'm a straight guy. :D Together, their love story paints a picture that I couldn't even conceive at first.<br/><br/>By the way, surprise character: Isaac. He's hilarious, and I couldn't help but feel sorry for Monica for losing out on such a great guy.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2LEMPI2564H1M?ASIN=014242417X	Breath Taking	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Just as the title says, it's a breath taking book. So detailed  and moving! I felt as if I had known the characters in reality and it brought me to tears in some parts of the book. When I read the reviews, didn't believe I would cry since I've  never cried when reading a book before,but when I read this I has to try my hardest not to cry. It was so deeply written it got to me. Despite the sadness, there were parts that actually made me laugh out loud, which I've never had a book do to me! SPOILER ALERT: I literally could not stop laughing when Augustus told Issac's previous girlfriend's mom that a blind man was egging her daughter's car and to step back into her house. I definitely recommend this for young adults and teens because of the huge vocabulary needed to read and understand the book. There are 2 or 3 sexual scenes in the book such as SPOILER ALERT when Isaac was trying to arouse his girlfriend in front of the church, and another scene when Hazel and Augustus were in the bed. This book will definitely go on my shelf, and it is my favorite book. It really has changed my look on life and has moved me so greatly. This also inspired me to start a long forgotten book of my own. Thank you a million x infinity John Green for making this extraordinary book I will favor for life.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2BEQ8H26GMEAZ?ASIN=014242417X	Please read this book.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I purchased this book without any prior knowledge of its plot or who John Green was, so I think I was pretty unbiased going into it. All I knew was that everyone was reading it and I wanted to see what all the fuss was about, and boy am I glad that I did. This is one of the best books I have ever read, especially in the ""Teen"" genre, and I have read A LOT of teen books. Not only is the story really entertaining and never dull, but the characters are FANTASTIC. Seriously, a few chapters in I found myself in awe of how relatable, realistic, hilarious, and lovable the narrator, Hazel, is. She's just amazing. For some reason I'm always hesitant when I see a male author writing from a female perspective, but John Green executes it perfectly. I was literally laughing out loud at what she was saying, which is perfect because, while the novel is hilarious, it also tears out your heart and rips it into a million pieces. This book will make you feel every emotion possible, and it will dig down deep inside your heart to make sure you never forget it. Novels written for the young adult market very rarely capture the voice of that generation as well as this one does. It really is worth the two days it might take you to read it, and I promise you it will make you a John Green fan for life.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3F7VCJ2JYOS5K?ASIN=014242417X	Heartbreaking, Heartwarming	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is the second young adult novel by John Green I've read in recent days.  Like Paper Towns, The Fault In Our Stars's main characters are bright, articulate, teenagers, but with a significant difference:  Hazel and Augustus have cancer, and they are going to die in the very near future. Before they do so, they are going to have to endure pain, medications, trips to the emergency room and long hospital stays, and still more pain.<br/><br/>It's a bleak prospect, but The Fault In Our Stars is not a bleak book. Hazel and Augustus are warm, funny, people who don't flinch from what's in store for them. Their chief source of encouragement and support is a book written by a reclusive and mysterious author. Hazel and Augustus's quest to find him and get answers to their questions is the core of the book.<br/><br/>I really enjoyed The Fault In Our Stars. I saw the movie some months ago, and as is usually the case, I think the book is much better.  These are real people whose sufferings are not glamourized or made into some noble tale of sacrifice and redemption. (There's some redemption here and there, but it's not the main story). Cancer hurts and dying hurts even more, and that's made clear here.  But what's also made clear is that love and determination don't die.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1D7ESA96D51QX?ASIN=014242417X	"No ""fault"" in this novel"	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">THE FAULT IN OUR STARS, narrated by Hazel Grace Lancaster, who is suffering from stage IV metastatic cancer, meets Augustus Waters in a teen cancer support group. The sixteen-year-olds share witty, intelligent banter as they get to know each other. This isn't about living with or dying from cancer, although cancer looms with the characters--Augustus lost his leg several years prior and Hazel uses an oxygen tank as her cancer has spread to her lungs. This is a story of two people who, although cancer has shaped their adolescence, are as typical as any teen with a challenge (and most teens have challenges sometimes big like cancer, sometimes more ordinary like insecurity).<br/>THE FAULT IN OUR STARS, though classified as young adult, is not just for teens. I'm an adult cancer survivor and I saw myself and my survivor friends in Hazel and Augustus--we're funny, often irreverent about our cancers, as both a coping mechanism and a way of life, because frankly, life is better that way.<br/>Though at times Hazel sounds older than sixteen, she's taken her GED and in college, plus cancer seems to mature children as they are surrounded by adults during treatment, family and the medical community.<br/>There is little FAULT in THE FAULT IN OUR STARS.</span>"

Even if you've witnessed one or more cancer dances, The Fault in Our Stars will affirm your faith in the creativity that cancer can extract from the human spirit.  My reluctance to read this book turned around one day as a student paced back and forth struggling to think of a way to finish a piece of writing.  She blurted, ""My thoughts are stars I can't fathom into constellations."" The quote fit her situation perfectly.  She then shared that she had quoted one of the main characters of the book.  I teach 7th graders language arts and during the winter EVERYONE was reading this book.  We shared many rich impromptu discussions.  Every once in a while a book comes along that takes kids to a new level.  This is one.<br/><br/>John Green's portrayal of young adults in love in an extreme situation is brilliant.  Terminal illness in the young is always tragic. Greene endowed the two main characters with attitudes toward their sickness and each other that are heartwarming and heart wrenching.  The adult characters were very weak in comparison.  I would have preferred the adults to be either nonexistent or to have been much more in the background.<br/><br/>I recommend this book to all fans of young adult fiction.</span>"

I will not deny myself in the simple pleasures of such as reading a marvelous book. It feels as though this book was written by a teenager, in the best ways possible of course, by which I mean that you truly understand Hazel's feelings, and also Augustus's at the same time. They are both truly amazing characters, I hope that one day I get to find out what fate awaited Hazel Grace in all of the beauty she was and is. I don't believe characters stop existing once you close the novel of your choice but that they live on in their own world.I plan to go and see the movie, and Mr.Green I pray to a God I don't believe in that you did not let them ruin this amazing tale by removing the joys brought to me through my imagination. If you are reading this review in hope  of knowing of whether or not you should read this then my answer is a finite yes. Read it. Over and over. Keep tissues nearby. Expect the plot twists but don't, it ruins it if you do.But importantly - remember that this is just a story of fiction, and although Hazel Grace and Augustus Waters may not really exist they are still loved whole-heartedly. -Ashlee W.

In all reality, since each one of us is in our own dying state every day, everything we do is a side effect of dying.<br/>This heart-warming, tear-jerking story is about a sixteen-year-old girl, Hazel Grace, who has a terminal illness. She knows, like so many other kids in her situation, that her set of days is numbered. She goes to a Support Group for kids with or who previously had cancer, and one day she meets the wonderful, beautiful, charming Augustus Waters. I won't spoil anything, but be prepared for one of the greatest stories you will ever read. Friendship, love, heartbreak, strength, and beauty are all things discovered in this piece art. This book is truly wonderful.<br/>So, I encourage you, reader, to buy this book. It is so worth it, with it's beautiful story about two cancer victims with the deepest thoughts and sense of puzzlement about the world. Yes, I cried for hours after I finished reading, but perhaps it was because the characters have a way of thinking that I strive for, and also, Augustus Waters is my new dream Prince Charming.

The star-crossed lovers sprang to life from the very first page of this wonderful and truly unforgettable book.<br/><br/>My son once said that reading books allowed you to know what it felt like to live someone else's life, and The Fault in Our Stars gives us a chance to have terminal cancer. While this might make the book to seem like a serious downer, John Green's skill as a writer makes Stars a study in what it means to be human.<br/><br/>Hazel knows she not as heroic as cancer victims are supposed to, she's just a teenager who wants to live.  She describes herself as the grenade ready to go off at any time touring the lives of all those that she loves. Gus is a boy who just wants to have mattered in the world. A boy who realizes that the cancer that could kill him is made up of himself.<br/><br/>What the book teaches us is that we find what we're looking for by giving it to someone else. A profound story on so many levels. If I were a teacher of middle school to high school students, this would be required reading.  I will certainly be passing it along to all of my friends.</span>"

It is about a teenager name Hazel who is dying. Hazel is dying because she has cancer in her lungs. Hazel goes to a cancer support group and she meets Augustus Waters there. Isaac brings Augustus to the support group. Isaac and Hazel get along, they both feel the same way about the support group, they hate it. Augustus has touched with cancer before and they soon become close friends. They like to think about death and life.<br/>This is an amazing book. If you have emotions you will cry when you read it. This book really makes you think about life and death and the significance of life and death. I recommend this book to anyone who wants a good read.<br/>Zoe's Review- When I read this book I did not cry. This book had many sad parts and many happy parts. This book is fun to read and laugh out loud funny. It had just the right amount of everything, from humor to romance. This book is about two teenagers who fall in love, both of them have cancer. The book is the story of both of them and their view of the world. I liked this book and the ending was satisfying for me. I recommend this book to anyone who liked the book Out of My Mind or Wonder.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R11259DVQMA52I?ASIN=014242417X	I'll always remember this book...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is a story of love, of life, of death and of all the things that make them worth it.  While most sixteen year old girls carry a designer backpack, sixteen year old Hazel Grace Lancaster carries a portable oxygen tank.  Diagnosed at age thirteen with Stage IV Thyroid Cancer that spread to her lungs, Hazel takes an experimental drug that has prolonged her young life.  Still terminal, she's been living her last years dying.  Her parents have become her best friends and her best friend is becoming a stranger.  Forced to go to a Cancer Kids Support Group in The Heart of Jesus at a local church, Hazel meets Augustus Waters, a seventeen year old former basketball star who wears a prosthetic leg from the knee down due to a bout with Osteoscarcoma from which he is now in remission.  Their relationship blossoms and they bond over a book called An Imperial Affliction by Peter Van Houton, about a young girl battling cancer that just ends without explanation.  Did the young girl die?  Was she too sick to continue to write her story?  Seeking answers from the author who lives now in Amsterdam as a recluse in a state of constant drunk, Hazel and Augustus embark on the journey of a too short lifetime. ✰✰✰✰✰</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R25WL9H6LULSER?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in Our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">If you haven't read this book yet, you absolutely need to get a copy and read it ASAP!! It will tear your heart out and put it back feeling all mangled up. But it will hurt so good, because this is, by far, one of the best books I have ever read. The emotions in this book are so genuine, and the characters so real, you won't be able to put this book down. And seriously, bring a box of tissues!!<br/><br/>This may be YA literature, but to me it did not read like YA literature. It has something for everyone in it. The teens are so likable, which I don't always find to be the case in YA fiction. And they were funny in a way that only kids who are dying of cancer can be, I think. And the parents...as a parent, oh how I felt for the parents. I don't even want to imagine what their pain feels like, but Mr. Green wrote about it in a sensitive and caring way that shows great respect, and I love that.<br/><br/>This book made me laugh and made me cry. It is a veritable roller coaster of emotion. And I love all the characters in it except Peter Van Houten. But he is the kind of person you love to hate.<br/><br/>Seriously...I can't say it enough...go get this book! It is AMAZING! It deserves 10 stars!!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R23D3ZNJGZ5EVB?ASIN=014242417X	Hart wearming, life affirming, intelligent and unique	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I'm not much into young adult fiction, despite having tried one recently, so I was reluctant to try this one. But seeing it ranked #2 on Kindle for best books last year I had to try it and was also motivated by some of the other reviews.  Fortunately, this book does not disappoint.  The characters and story are engaging and riveting.  It's hard to put a smart, witty spin on something as sobering as cancer, but The Fault in Our Stars does just that.  Even though the author claims at the end that she despite her research on cancer, she chose to use or invent as she saw fit.  That surprised me a little, but did not take away from the story and the depth of the characters.  My only complaint would be that Augustus and Hazel seemed much too mature for their age and their intellectual level, humor and conversation seemed a little unrealistic.  But then I know there are some very intelligent youths out there and they are exposed to a lot more knowledge, life experiences, etc. than I was at their age.  So it's plausible.  And more importantly, it kept me engrossed and rooting for them, their love and their lives, despite the all the odds and, as they might say/believe, out of spite over those very odds.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1USK711CQEVH7?ASIN=014242417X	Well written, but kind'a empty for the soul	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The book definitely kept my interest.  The story was touching.  I cried almost the whole way through!  Being a mom myself, I cried every time the parents cried.<br/>Yet, while I was reading I couldn't help but feel that the author was teaching existentialism to his readers.  The platitudes he would throw out through the voice of the main characters, were empty and depressing.  There was no hope in this book.  I finished and still was left just wanting to cry.  Young readers might find some of the existential thoughts, deep and profound.  I just thought they were said and hallow.<br/>There is a God.  He loves us.  He has a plan for each one of us.  You can believe that or deny it.  It doesn't change the fact.  I feel so sorry for the fictional characters that Green created, I feel sorry for Green, and I feel sorry for every reader who buys into the depressing lie that there is no God.  I truly don't know how you can live through the grief of losing a loved one.  With the world believing such lies, it is no wonder that there are people like Peter Van Houten, who live in a drunken stupor just to get through every miserable day.<br/>Personally, I chose hope and love from a heavenly Father!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2JRNJ0W550I5?ASIN=014242417X	With a host of good reviews on Amazon	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I had no idea this existed until I realised there was a movie with the same title. I have a golden rule of never watching a movie until I’ve read the book, so decided to get that out of the way. With a host of good reviews on Amazon, I really wanted to see for myself if it lived up to its popularity.<br/><br/>I’m sure it’s fairly widely known that the story features two terminally ill teenagers (Hazel and Augustus), who meet at a cancer support group. It’s an instant attraction, both mental and physical, and the encounter impacts their (short) lives.<br/><br/>Despite the fact that it’s a little hard to believe the dialogue is coming out of the mouths of sixteen/seventeen-year-olds, the rather excessive use of Capitalized Phrases To Make a Point, and the plot stretching the imagination just a little too far, I really loved this book.<br/><br/>It’s easy to get into and easy to love the characters without feeling pity for them. It’s a love story, sprinkled with deep sadness and poignancy, but the writing is razor-sharp, witty, humorous, and engaging. I found it hard to put down, hard to accept that it had finished (note to self: read more John Green!) and can’t wait to see the movie.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1YRKCROPDIGW6?ASIN=014242417X	Fantastic Book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">When I was first told about this book from a friend, I was hesitant. I mean, a book about a girl with terminal cancer sounds beyond depressing. I ended up buying it two weeks later, and I can't believe I turned this book down at first. The Fault in Our Stars is beyond amazing. The Fault in Our Stars is a story about Hazel Grace and Augustus Waters, two star crossed lovers who share their views on life, love and loss. Hazel is a 16 year old girl with Thyroid cancer and mets in her lungs, diagnosed at age 13, knowing that the miracle drug the doctors found is only prolonging her life. She was pulled out of school and isolates herself from any friendships she had, and relies mainly on reality television and her favorite book, An Imperial Affliction, to keep her company. After being forced by her parents to go to Cancer Kid Support group and live her life, she meets Augustus Waters, the metaphorically inclined boy who is in remission from Osteosarcoma. Hazel and Augustus revel in each other's opinions on life, death and philosophy. If you are the least bit hesitant about purchasing this book, buy it. It's the kind of book you will read over and over and just be completely amazed by.</span>"

(Like  I said, it's been several months, and I am only in stage one of grief: denial.)<br/> This book gives the world we live in an inside perspective at what some people brush off without giving a second thought. I really hope this book helps us get rid of some world suck.<br/> All words in the English language are not good enough to describe this book. Raw, heart wrenching, electric, beautiful literature and so much more.<br/> Thank you John Green. I really do believe this changed people's lives in the biggest ways and the smallest ways. It certainly changed my view of the world.<br/> Everyone should read this book. I've always thought words can have such big influences on our minds and hearts, and I believe this book really proves that.<br/> Thank you John Green.</span>"

It contained emotionally charged topics (love, cancer, death, pursuit of knowledge &amp; acknowledgement, and worldly travel to a great location (Amsterdam).<br/><br/>For me, it felt unrealistic to have such sophisticated teens. I understand that had the story been about sophisticated adults it would not have sold as it did.<br/><br/>I don't know if the author was showing off everything he remembered from college, making fun of those who have not yet attended, or trying to somehow introduce youngsters to college educated themes. In the end, his intentions don't really matter because he set out to do what he ultimately wanted to do which was sell a lot of books, make a lot of money, and get himself remembered.<br/><br/>So for those who don't mind slurping an all inclusive literary salad blended into a thick gooey shake and served to the masses in a huge feeding slop trough ..this literary starter goo is for you.<br/><br/>I give the author props though, love it or hate it..he still got paid !!!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1V9D9T6QR4L7G?ASIN=014242417X	Heartbreakingly Good	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is not the type of book I would normally read, and one I would frankly have avoided when I found out that the main characters meet in a Cancer Support Group.  You can almost see the reach for the kleenex just by reading the book description.  However, I had to find out why this book was getting such amazing reviews, and finally downloaded a sample on my Kindle.  I was hooked on the sample.<br/><br/>As another reviewer has noted, this is not a ""cancer book.""  Yes, there is a moment that involves tears and heartbreak, but almost immediately after that an unbelievably laugh out loud moment that had me in tears for completely different reasons.  I can't help but give John Green kudos for making me feel such a gamut of emotions, that still left me feeling good at the end of the book.  This book made you think about life and family and romance and wonderful hopeful things, despite being based on a terminal illness.  I am still thinking about the well-drawn main characters, Hazel and Augustus, and even the secondary characters comprised of their family and support group friends like Isaac.<br/><br/>This is not a typical read, and isn't shaking things up what makes life interesting after all?</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RD70MDDYWO1P7?ASIN=014242417X	Wow. What an excellent book.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Every once is a long while, I read a book that sticks with me. It changes the way I think and the way I feel. The Fault in Our Stars was that book for me this summer.<br/><br/>The Fault in Our Stars is the story of a 16-year-old cancer patient named Hazel who was literally on her death bed until a miracle treatment saved her. However, she is still terminal; the treatment only bought her more time. A few years later, Hazel meets a boy name Augustus, a former cancer patient, at a support group for kids with cancer. They become friends and the story goes on from there.<br/><br/>I loved every second of this book. I loved that Hazel was so honest about everything that she was feeling. She didn't try to dramatize her condition and she didn't pretend to be brave or heroic in any way. Hazel's only goal was to hurt the fewest number of people possible when she died.<br/><br/>The author's note at the beginning states, ""This book is a work of fiction. I made it up. Neither novels nor their readers benefit from attempts to divine whether any facts hide inside a story. Such efforts attack the very idea that made-up stories can matter.""<br/><br/>This made-up story matters.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RDG8YEMG72AHE?ASIN=014242417X	Tragic subject excellent book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">John Green's writing is amazing!  Although this book deals with a horrible subject there is humor as these two teenagers stare death in the face.  Are they mature beyond their years?  I would guess a cancer diagnosis ages you in many ways.  Hazel and Augustus are not your typical teenagers who worry about being popular, trendy clothes and school dances.  Cancer has taken much away from them but they still have spirit and give to each other good witty banter and much needed unconditional love.<br/><br/>Peter Van Houten's appearances are amusing and random as you would assume from a somewhat washed out alcoholic author.<br/><br/>Here's a little piece of the book.  A conversation between Hazel and Augustus.<br/><br/>""There were days of pajamas and beard scruff, of mumblings and requests of him endlessly thanking everyone for all they were doing on his behalf.  One afternoon, he pointed vaguely toward a laundry basket in a corner of the room and asked me, ""What's that?""<br/>""That laundry basket?""<br/>""No next to it.""<br/>""I don't see anything next to it.""<br/>""It's my last shred of dignity.  It's very small.""<br/><br/>Read this book it's worth every moment!</span>"

However, this book puts both of those books and movies, to shame.  The book and movie are better than both, ""The Notebook"" and ""A Walk to Remember"", COMBINED! I will say only one thing about this book and it's that... whatever you think is going to happen, probably will not happen so do not try and make any predictions.<br/><br/>Some other series I recommend are, The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer trilogy (my fav), The Selection trilogy, The Shatter Me trilogy, The Legend trilogy, Divergent trilogy, and the Delirium trilogy... and obviously the Hunger Games trilogy :)<br/><br/>If any one has any questions, would like to recommend any other books to me, would like to discuss any books or discuss tfios movie with me, i would love that!

It tells us about two teenagers ages of 16 and 17 who meet eachother at the heart of Jesus (literally, but its like a cancer group therapy). Augustus has cancer that ended up taking a part of his leg. Hazel on the other hand has a cancer that affects her breathing which causes her to carry around a little machine to help her breathe better. Well these two hit it off instantly becoming friends and bonding over video games, books, and movies. Soon they start to fall in love but it seems like the universe (or maybe just cancer) is against them.<br/><br/>I loved this book. It was a little hard to get into the book but I stuck through it and I couldnt put it down. Both of these main characters do not speak like regular teenagers, I would know because Im the same age as Augustus, but that didnt bother me at all.<br/>I found myself falling in love with Augustus along with Hazel throughout the book.<br/>Towards the end I was in tears; swollen racoon eyes, snot all over the place, and that growing ache in my chest.<br/>This was a beautiful love story between two people that will forever stay in my heart.<br/><br/>HIGHLY RECCOMENDED</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3PBP6ZLE5T0J?ASIN=014242417X	infinities	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book in beyond incredible. I stayed up reading, holding on to every word written. This book not only, told a story about two young people trying to find their infinities, but it incourages us to find our own infinities. It portrayed life as it is, not as we wish. It taught us that being in pain is okay, that love is okay, and that infinities are real. Before this book, I never tried to think of infinities. I vanished the thoughts from my mind, without giving myself a chance to conceive any ideas from them. I learned that everything is infinite, that infinities are one of life's greatest pleasures. That if we all wished to be encompassed with those infinities you only have to wish. Just like Hazel Grace, and Augustus did. They used their wishes and blamed cancer for them. Maybe we all have wishes, but we just don't see it.<br/><br/>I would recommend this book to anyone who doesn't understand life's meaning. Or to anyone who simply needs to have something to hold onto in life. Believe in infinities, that everything and everyone is infinite. The book says this too, ""Everything in infinite. Some infinities are just larger than others.""</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1MSEX3Q3O3KFP?ASIN=014242417X	That Kiss	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I picked it up because my fifteen-year-old daughter loves John Green.  From the first chapter, this novel took hold of me--and still hasn't let me go.  I don't think it ever will.  If you're inclined to take this book less seriously because it's ""Young Adult Fiction,"" well, let me put it this way: Tom Jones kisses Sophia in front of the mirror in Fielding's ""Tom Jones,"" Dorothea Brooke and Will Ladislaw kiss in Mr. Casaubon's library in George Eliot's ""Middlemarch,"" and Hazel Grace Lancaster kisses Augustus Waters in the attic of the Anne Frank house in Amsterdam in ""The Fault in Our Stars.""  That kiss--and this novel--deserves to be mentioned in such literary company.  My God--what a love story!<br/><br/>Virginia Woolf said ""Middlemarch"" was ""one of the few English novels written for grown-up people.""  Change 'English' to 'American,' and the same goes for ""The Fault in Our Stars.""  That the book also appeals to ""young adults"" is a testament to Mr. Green's gifts as a writer, as well as to the grown-up humanity of young adults.<br/><br/>Kate Rudd's audio reading is also beautiful.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1THO305FJCFNE?ASIN=014242417X	Really touching novel	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">""The Fault in Our Stars"" is by far one of the best novels I have ever read.  Hazel and Augustus' struggle with cancer and love is deeply moving.  Throughout the novel, the reader will laugh, cry, ponder life and death, laugh, and cry some more.  Hazel and Augustus are deep and give a new unseen outlook on life.  The characters just draw the reader into the story, and feel like they are there personally experiencing the pain, heartache, love, and confusion.  One thing I really appreciated about this novel is that the characters are so human.  They experience pain and illness (cancer).  They experience so much that makes them feel realistic because usually, the author tries to shelter the characters.  Green took reading and writing to a new and better level with this novel.  Life is not perfect.  People get hurt, get sick, and people all eventually die (some sooner than others).  However, life does offer many experiences and things that make it worth while like love.  No one portrays this better than Green in this novel.  It really made me start thinking about life in a more deep and emotional way.  I definitely recommend this book for everyone.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R4IQFX9UZ6Z49?ASIN=014242417X	Hits Close to Home	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">As the title of my review suggests, this book hit pretty close to home. I've lost a lot of people to cancer and a lot of people that came into my life later experienced the same things I have. One thing people lack is the knowledge of how to deal with death and help others cope when they have lost a loved one. As this book suggests, you have to look at it as it is. There is no escape from it. The end is inevitable. However, there is always going to be life after yours is over. ""Funerals are for the living."" You go to funerals to support the family of the deceased. The best thing you can do is give the deceased the respect they deserve. Don't grieve over their death; celebrate the life they lived. When people die young, nearly every time somebody will say, ""It's a shame they never got to live their life."" To me, there's nothing worse somebody could say. They were alive and that means they lived a life. They left their mark on the people that surrounded them. They influenced others and their decisions. They were a tiny drop of water that fell into a pond and made bigger and bigger rings. They lived a life, no matter how short their life was.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R37R2T5N2J2REV?ASIN=014242417X	One of those books that leaves you in a weird, but great place	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I think John Green might just be at the precipice of being one of the greatest authors of the 21st century.<br/><br/>To say that this is a young adult book would be a shameful misnomer. Not to say that it isn't about young adults and can't be enjoyed by that demographic, because that is the complete opposite of the truth. I say this to counter the perhaps inevitable defamation of the young adult label in the wake of the ""Twilight"" series of rabble, and to highlight the fact that this book - like much of John's work - is universal in appeal and theme.<br/><br/>This book is incredible. I recommend it to all people able to read and appreciate it. Hands down, one of the best books I've read. It certainly hits you hard, a book that makes you wish that it wasn't over when it was.<br/><br/>I suppose that's the mark of great art - it leaves you wishing that it could just last forever. But, alas, we live in a finite, mortal world. But if ever a work of literature could be called great art, this work is most certainly worthy of that title.<br/><br/>I find solace in the fact that the Novelist Emeritus John Green is only early in his career, one that is destined for greatness.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3FX2NY107BXQ3?ASIN=014242417X	An Honest Work of Fiction	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is misleading. How do you write a book about two kids with cancer without making the book about cancer? Simple: People are not their sickness. They have life and personality and even love regardless of their physical state of being.<br/>This book is unfair, just as life is unfair. Some people may argue that the wrong people die. But I say, ""More power to you John Green!"" Because this book is a piece of highly overlooked truth. In life, the wrong people die everyday and you'd give anything to have one more moment with them.<br/>This book is harsh. It tells the truth about death and dying. It's not always glorious or honorable. Augustus Waters was right, ""there's no honor in dying of.""And yes, funerals are indeed for the living, our last chance to show our great love or conceal our  great hate. To spout the meaningless lies everyone wants to hear, or to tell the hard, sad truth.<br/>This book is perfect because it's everything we humans are, hateful, angry, happy, whimsical, honest, painful, disappointing, tragic, uncertain, and loving. I recommend it to everyone who's willing to have their heart metaphorically shattered.</span>"

I don't think any book has made me cry so hard.  I'm an oncology nurse, you would think I'd get used to this kind of thing......wrong!  I knew where this story was going, but still I read on like a masochist.<br/><br/>This story is beautifully written and poignant, but be ready to go through a box of tissues.  The characters are well developed and I fell in love with Augustus and Hazel Grace.  I can't stop thinking about them.  This story is easily one of my all time favorites.  However, I will find it hard to recommend to everyone.  It is not for the faint of heart or for those who don't like a sad story or want the HEA ending.  You have been warned.  Just read the first couple paragraphs and you will find out right away this is a story of a 16 year old girl with terminal cancer.  But ultimately, it is about life, love, and dying.<br/><br/>I only give 5 stars to stories good enough for me to want to read again.  I read a lot, too many books in my ""to read"" pile.  So, for me to want to read it again at a later date, speaks volumes.  This story has good writing, a good story, and makes a lasting impression.  Bravo John!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3P7DMLVRG4J0?ASIN=014242417X	Falling in love	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I started this book not really knowing what it was about. I soon found myself falling in love with Hazel and pretending to be at least half the person she is. Even though he is a character in a book Augustus Waters stole my heart almost immediately. I fell for his charming and goofy personality right along with Hazel. This book changed my life. It changed the way I look at things, allowing me to realize what this life has to offer and appreciate everything that I have because nothing is forever. In all honesty this book helped me to find my own Augustus and I am thankful for him each and everyday. I recommended this book to My Own Augustus so that he could love it just as much as I do and he does which made me fall in love with him even more. I don't think anyone should ever be afraid to fall in love because it's really the only thing that matters in life. I think that Hazel finally figured that out, and in turn did not regret the person that had to hurt her when he left this world. I strongly recommend this book to anyone who needs some help figuring who they are in this world, who knows you might just find your own Augustus.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3QCHXWRKJ66KX?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in Our Stars is in the dialogue	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is my first John Green book, and as of this writing, I'm unclear whether I'll read another. It's unlikely that I'll be able to provide any insight that my fellow reviewers haven't already pointed out with expert aplomb. That this book was inspired by a Green fan is magnificent. The central characters in TFIOS are interesting, and the dialogue is a pleasure to read. The problem? It reads like someone who is trying to be so witty that the realism and any connection to the actual persons is categorically lost. No teenagers in my experience talk like this. I've raised three of them. I won't bore you with the details, but yes cancer is prevalent in my family and I've had many conversations with sufferers from the very young to the very old. People don't talk like this. In general, I wouldn't identify this as a flaw, but this book seems to be trying to walk a tightrope of respect for the sick and the truism of life. Instead, it rides the wave of Green popularity, and throughout, I couldn't help but imagine him trying to see how clever he could be with his pen instead of using it to carve out a genuinely big heart.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1E3R2IMSEO47V?ASIN=014242417X	Live until you don't	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">When I started reading this book I, of course, had read a publication blurb so I had a very good idea of what it would be about and what would happen in the lives of the characters, at least in the lives of two of them.  Although that was true, how it was told was a surprise.  Although at times I felt it was a bit over-clichéd and included a few too many metaphors, I couldn't wait each day to be able to pick it up again and spend whatever time I had becoming a friend with the two families and with Isaac, a friend to both Gus and Hazel Grace. I felt I was hearing their conversations versus reading about them and I actually wanted to participate with these children who in many ways were much older souls than I.  I laughed with them, raged with them, cried with them, and, in the end, celebrated them. I will recommend this book to others to read for the beauty and stark realism of being ill, living with it, and finding more in it than just the suffering and loss of hope so prevalent in other books regarding illness and death.  This is a book on living until you don't and doing so in a way to make others wonder.</span>"

This is not your typical young-adult novel, nor is it the cheesy, ‘overcoming obstacles’ story that you may be anticipating.  Hazel Grace was on her way to becoming an ordinary teenager when cancer shrunk her world down to doctors, meds, her attentive parents, &amp; her favorite book.  OK, perhaps a sweet, gorgeous, &amp; intelligent boy from a lame support group falling head-over-heels doesn’t happen everyday, but it seems realistic enough.  Augustus ‘Gus’ Waters is a fellow cancer survivor, with character traits that would delight the parents of any teenage girl.  Their personalities compliment one another, keeping each other in check, while still sharing a quirky humor that is impossible not to love.  Their unusual quest to get answers from a reclusive author in Amsterdam provides adventure and beauty along their ill-fated journey.  This is a sweeping, engaging, &amp; heart-breaking novel.  I dare any reader to walk away from it not having fallen in love with Hazel Grace &amp; Augustus Waters.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">When asked if this book would make you laugh or cry, John replied, ""You will feel all these things."" He couldn't have been more right. This is honestly one of the best (if not the best) book I have ever read. I laughed, a lot. Hazel and Agustus have such an interesting sense of humor, you wouldn't expect kids with cancer to be so funny. Then again that was one of the reasons John wrote the book. Most cancer books are filled with the sad kid who is dying, but some how with them being in that situation it brings everyone to realized the meaning of life, blah blah blah. This book is not that kind of book. Hazel and Agusust are not those kind of kids. With the laughter part over, I also cried, a lot. It could be because the subject is close to me, but honestly I tried not to cry and yet I still did. There were tears of sadness, and tears of happiness, and tears from well laughing. This book has a wonderful plot and is beautifully written and I would suggest that if you are reading this, and you have not yet read it, stop wasting time with this silly review and get the book!

It's a story about finding that one moment of bright sunshine as love in a world so dark and overflowing with pain, and then learning to let it go and cherish that love for every breath you draw or for as many times as you blink. This is a story about learning to breathe when sometimes you literally and figuratively can't.<br/><br/>And sometimes, I whole heartedly believe that less is more. So, there aren't enough adjectives to describe how fantastically amazing and emotional The Fault in Our Stars is. All I can say is readers pick up this book and experience for yourself the epic story of Hazel and Gus. You will feel, and you will feel hard. I still am after reading it for only a few short hours.<br/><br/>To simply put it, this story is a beautiful triumph. Don't miss out on it. You will regret not knowing Hazel and Gus and all the other characters that inhabit its pages.<br/><br/>Simply Beautiful.</span>"

It happened all too quickly for me (I was expecting it to be slow with lots of tears).<br/><br/>I found the characters to be fun while reading even though most of them are suffering from cancer. They accepted what they have, they accepted that one day they were all going to die.<br/><br/>There are many quotes that I love from this book, especially this: ""I fell in love the way you fall asleep: slowly, and then all at once.""<br/><br/>This book left me thinking and thinking. I couldn't come to a conclusion of whether I loved this book or liked it (somtimes I even feel like I completely disliked this book)! And I don't think I will ever land up on one particular conclusion any time soon.<br/><br/>If you love tragic love stories then, this is a book that you must read.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R20ST3RM3BTFOD?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing literature	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is now one of my favorites. The writing style was amazing, as well as the story line. The story brought sad and happy tears to my eyes. I can't believe a man could write a girl part in a story so perfectly. The story has a secret moral too. I think this story represented that we have ups and downs in our lives, and the world isn't perfect. But we need to enjoy the good moments in our lives, and move on from the bad. There will always be another good moment in your life. I also love how the author portrayed hazel as a smart, sarcastic, but very opinionated girl. She knows a lot about the world, and she outsmarts most of the world's things. My favorite part was the end of the book, in the email to hazel that Augustus wrote. It made me happy, and glad that the story didn't end in a cheesy way ( such as fast forwarding into the future where the couple gets married and has children together.) And that it actually sounded like a real story. To sum it up, I loved this book. It was funny, sad, and happy all in one. I would suggest this book to teens 13+ (because of the love content)</span>"

(125) This, in a nutshell, describes the book for me. I started reading The Fault In Our Stars and then just fell into the story.<br/><br/>I honestly read this book after seeing a blurb in Entertainment Weekly about the upcoming movie and thought it sounded interesting. Yeah, interesting. Now that I am able to breathe again, after crying for about 3/4 of the book and well after I finished it, I am finding I have no words to describe the book, except that I loved it, but after saying how it affected me, saying I loved it seems wrong.<br/><br/>The story was amazing, it drew me in through my tears and I just kept going. Hazel and Augustus' story was uplifting and heartbreaking. Their connection and Hazel's reaction to it and the subsequent ""event"" flowed, as it just broke your heart. This is definitely a must read and has me curious enough to read more of the author's books. The emotion was captured so well, it felt like you were there, going through every step with Hazel, Augustus and Issac through it all.</span>"

I started off googling the words - always looking to broaden my horizons :*} but it just got to the point that I just assumed what it ment and pretty much skipped over it all.<br/><br/>I did like the characters but the way they spoke was just to far fetched. I know poetic ppl are dramatic when they want to make a statement but this was just to a point of being silly , a lot of eye rolls &amp; line skipping.<br/><br/>Here's the SPOILER -<br/><br/>The book is about two teens feeling disappointed by the ending of a book they both loved - leaving many many unanswered questions.<br/><br/>Well when I got to the end of this book I was terribly pissed that that is the same damn thing this book did - it stopped. there was no closure.<br/><br/>It never told us how much longer the main girl lived to be. It simply stopped after the boy died. Well I liked her too so I wanted (still want) to know her story till HER ending.<br/><br/>But fear not author .lol.

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3BWGLBBXXPJT4?ASIN=014242417X	terribly funny, excellent, worthwhile and sad.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I had trouble envisioning a book about a teenager with cancer that could work. I was wrong. I laughed while I was crying. I laughed out loud while weeping on my reading device. I had to wipe my eyes to see the print, but i didn't find this book depressing at all. In fact i found it healing. This book is awfully funny while being funny about the awful. This book captures many true things. The isolation of illness, it's petty humiliations, and it's giant ones. The need to be seen that we humans share, the desire to make a difference that some of us have. The desire be remembered. The immediacy of terminal illness. The magic of first love.<br/><br/>I could give a plot synopsis, but the discoveries are part of the delight here. Suffice it to say this book is a about a teenage girl with a terminal illness. It doesn't minimize the pain of illness. It manages the incredible by not sentimentalizing it. I don't know if this book is written because of life experience, but it rang true in many ways. This kind of truth does not come cheap.<br/><br/>An excellent, exceptional book.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2Q3LBQ2NORNQT?ASIN=014242417X	The Real Story of Cancer	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">When I was 18, my younger sister Jenifer died after a nine-month battle with leukemia. That period of time when she was sick was horrific for the entire family, but especially for Jenifer because the cure rate for leukemia back then was about 30%. Even though she was only 10, she knew she was going to die. This book gets it all right; the fear, the rage, the sad, tragic endings; these all represent what happens in real life when a child has cancer, is unsuccessfully treated, and dies. It's enough to make you want to tear the pages out of the book and light them on fire, as if that would do any good. It was a very hard book for me to read because no one who has seen a child go through this ever recovers from it. But unlike Hazel, I never thought of my sister as the grenade - cancer is the grenade, and when it kills, it scars everyone within range. I loved that Hazel faced her death with such realism, that toward the end she knew the only thing that could be done was to enjoy the time she had left as best she could. It's all any of us can ever do, and so few of us do it.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RN1MTBZHK773?ASIN=014242417X	As said over and over again; a marvelous book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">So, I'm late to the party on this one, having known about this amazing book for a while, but not getting to it. Until now. And, I'm glad that I did because it is - as others, including the critics and award-givers have said - an amazing portrait of illness. It is truly amazing to me how Mr. Green is able to inhabit the mind and body of a young woman, a woman who has foresight and consciousness about herself, and yet one who - for all her wisdom and remarks - is still very young. I was most taken by the banter between Hazel and Gus, and it reminded me of what it was like to be a teenager (albeit, perhaps not as clever or wise as either of them).<br/><br/>But, the portrait that Mr. Green has painted of the two of them, their relationship with each other, and Hazel's with her parents is really great. Typing this, I can still hear the characters, and most of them are telling me that I'm being far to trite, but I'll leave the wonderful dialog to Mr. Green.<br/><br/>I only hope that unlike the sad author Van Houten, Mr. Green finds a way to continue with his writing.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RDDP47H5GU1Q9?ASIN=014242417X	Mentally and Physically Life Changing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I rate this book a 9 because I am saving my 10. As you can already see I was very touched by this book. ( you will get what I said once you read the book )I am a 13 year old girl who doesn't know most of the big words in this book let alone about love, but I can not explain how deep my love is for this book. Like I said about the big words, I took the time to look up these words to find the real meaning which made me connect more to the book. However, I feel like a big jerk for watching the movie before I read the book, you see, I never really considered myself getting into big popular movies let alone books, but on Father's Day my dad and sister wanted to see the movie so I did, I was so touched and decided to read the book after feeling like a jerk. I recommend this book because it is the definition of life. Sure it is about a teenage girl who has cancer and she deeply falls in love with a boy who's gorgeous in every way but it is so much more then that. It gives the meaning of life. I read this book in a day in a half, I couldn't put it down ! I love it !</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1Y0SQAHPHA0OZ?ASIN=014242417X	One of my favorite books of all time	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I first saw this one in the list of ""Best of January 2012"" books sent out by Amazon.  The reviews and description intrigued me right away.  This is a love story between two teens who meet in a cancer support group.  With that kind of synopsis, you know you're going to wind up crying at some point, right?  What you can't expect is how much you're going to enjoy the experience.  It's like watching Steel Magnolias, or Brian's Song, or Love Story.  You boo hoo like it's your own personal tragedy.  Plus, you get to think about LIFE and LOVE (yes, the kind of big thoughts that require all caps.)  At the end, you sigh and wish the book would keep going.  I found myself digging in my bedside table at midnight, looking for a pencil so I could underline passages to read again later.  I quoted whole passages into my Facebook status because they were just too amazing not to share.  I bought two freaking copies of the book so I could shove it into my friends' hands right away!  I just found a new book for my ""top five of my life"" list.  What else can I say?  Go read it.</span>"

Its about how I'm just in love with John green right now. This is by far my favorite book. EVER!!!!  After reading the sample, I knew I would love it,  And I am not ashamed that I bought this book without my mom's permission. Though I know I should be I just can't bring myself to be. I was crying my butt off a lot and I sort of hated the book for being so sad. But that was also why I loved it. Quoting the book "" without pain you will not now joy."" At least something along those lines. I also loved the complexity of the book. I constantly had to highlight words for the definitions and then I still had to figure the sentence out. I didn't hate that though, I loved that. I believe only the really good books make you have a headache and get your brain moving. Like hazel, I wish I could meet John, but the world is not a wish granting factory.  By the way, if you believe it, i m actually just thirteen like five days ago. Sometime I feel like I'm thirteen going on thirty. Thanks John for expanding my vocabulary.  Morgan wilsdon</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RX0H86CXXWDEX?ASIN=014242417X	No fault in this book.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Hazel has been sick for a long time with thyroid cancer that has now spread to her lungs. With constant doctor visits and re-reading her favorite book, Hazel has gotten her life sorted out. But then she meets Augustus (Gus) Waters, a handsome boy that goes one day to her Support Group. From there, it's a whirlwind adventure as Augustus and Hazel get to know each other, become international travelers, and fall in love.<br/><br/>As with what seems like a majority of the entire universe, I love this book. It's a very witty and realistic story about two kids fighting together to add more time so they can do things such as fall in love and meet their heroes. This book is highly recommended ONLY if a box of facial tissue is nearby. Trust me, you'll need it.<br/><br/>Also, on a side note, I love the fact that this book takes place in Indianapolis and that a local author has gotten so much publicity and praise for his great book. Indy is a great place to grow up, and it's nice to see it get some fame and attention from something other than the Indy 500.<br/><br/>*5 STARS*<br/><br/>[...]</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3UZGLQ47YC2RY?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault In Our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">If this was on Twitter I'd say: #NoSpoilersHere<br/><br/>This book quickly became one of my favorites. It has a sense of realism in the way the characters are portrayed that many movies, much less books, achieve. The main character, Hazel Grace Lancaster, battles her lung disease in a way that seems a bit like someone I know in real life, albeit with a bit more attitude.<br/><br/>The one part I really like is that both before and after the story John Green states that it is a work of fiction. It helps you realize that you can hate certain characters without having to feel guilty about hating them and that you can love certain characters and imagine what life would be like for them if things were different. Green's slightly sarcastic attitude that's evident in his videos comes through in this book.<br/><br/>I've said it before, about this and other stuff, if it doesn't make you at least want to cry, you might not have a pulse, but the story isn't completely depressing, it has its fun moments as well as its serious moments. The book does remind us that ""pain deserves to be felt.""</span>"

My friend begged me to read this book and I almost didn't do it because I saw it was a Cancer book and so I knew it was going to be a sad book and therefore I wanted to avoid it at all costs.<br/><br/>I was right, of course. It's a sad book. But it's also a happy book. And I'm so glad I read it. I loved getting to see Hazel and Gus's world, even though their infinity was shorter than most. It was still more beautiful than some people ever get.<br/><br/>If you want a book that will make you question life and death and really see things differently and start thinking about things in philosophical ways, then read this book.<br/><br/>This book was fantastic. An absolute instant classic. I don't care if there were technical things wrong with the story that other reviewers might see, just focus on the story.<br/><br/>It's a meaningfully beautiful story.</span>"

I read it in less than 24 hours ( I'm a slow reader, forgive me.) and was taken aback by it. I was amazed by the detail and how much it resembled some teenagers. The book was filled with philosophical, funny, sassy, cry-worthy quotes that would leave my with a pen and paper writing them down and saving them. I would recommend this book to anyone and everyone, even if you do not like Fiction books or any type of book like this. Now I know what you're thinking, ""This is a book about cancer, I'm going to be depressed if I read it."" Well hey, guess what? You'll be crying by the end, but you will also laugh along the way. Within the first 5 pages I was already smirking. This was a very good read, I would read it again, which I never do with books. This book changed the way I thought about people with cancer, and made me realize that not all people want to be treated like the most important ever. As I said before. Well worth the money. Well? What are you waiting for? Scroll up and buy it!</span>"

It was not your typical Walk to Remember type cancer book. The book wasn't even about cancer, or death, or living even. It was a story about two kids and their place in this world.<br/>The story line was a little cliche and predictable, but he made it work. He threw in plenty of intelligent humor, heart-wrenching moments, and philosophical conversations.<br/>The characters were strong and interesting. They were highly intellectual, sometimes unrealistically so, but it added depth to their character and made it easier to become attached to them. Their words and their thoughts were thought-provoking. Though I feel he emphasized the two main characters too much and every other character fell by the wayside as a sort of ""filler"" character.<br/>Overall I really enjoyed this book. It was a book that was entertaining, easy to read, but required you to think and inspired you to action. What that action is, I'm not sure yet, but I want to do something. This was awesome book, and I would recommend it to everyone.</span>"

I'm SO glad it was selected for my bookclub to read! The writing was absolutely beautiful (for lack of a better word), yet the story, dialogue and character development flowed so naturally and totally pulled you into these young people's world. The writing was never pretentious, but it was sometimes humorous (despite involving the subject of cancer and young people!), often thought provoking, and always, ALWAYS captivating. As an older woman who lost her husband to cancer several years ago, I initially thought this book might be too difficult emotionally for me to read. NOT SO!!! I actually found it quite cathartic in a way I can't quite define. This is a book for teenagers and adults alike. Like another reviewer (Alex F, I believe) commented, unless you have a heart of stone, you will LOVE this book. Please do yourself a favor and read it IMMEDIATELY!! Now, I'm going to check out some other books by this author. If they can hold a candle to this one, I'm a fan for life!</span>"

We have read other ""teen""  books and have thoroughly enjoyed them.  Always great conversations.  However, I think this book will  be one of our highest rated ""teen reads"" as well as a great ""adult read"".  Too often books are labeled for a particular audience and too often we as adult miss great works because they are labeled ""teen"".  This is a book not to be missed by adults!!!!  If possible take that label off it.<br/><br/>Anyone who has cancer, is the caregiver for a person with cancer, a survivor of cancer, or who has a chronic illness should read this book. It provides a look into the thoughts of those with cancer and how we experience our disease and the world.  It provides hope, a reason to live each day to the fullest because if we don't we miss out on life.  And the disease wins.  It reminds us that we are still a person; we are not our disease.<br/><br/>I look forward to our conversation at Book Club on 4/12.  It will be lively.</span>"

In most books, the boy of whom the  main character loves is usually....perfect. smart, popular, attractive, funny, nice...healthy. Downright perfect. But Augustus is not perfect. I liked this, because in reality, no one  is perfect.<br/><br/>I love the literature references and allusions, mainly because love reading and writing and I hope to be like a Hazel Lancaster, who can quote books and recite poetry.<br/><br/>This books was truly touching. I am a movie/book cryer, but this one made me bawl. It captures the perfect image of cancer survivors, and those who don't survive. Hazel Grace' s thoughts made so much sense, as if they were coming from someone who truly did fight lung cancer.<br/><br/>In conclusion, this book is definitely a 5-star must-read. Of all the books I've read, this one has left me at a loss for words the most. There are no words in my vocabulary , almost, that could describe this book. I hope this review turns you into the right direction.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RASZJ0XTPT6GF?ASIN=014242417X	You may drown your Kindle with tears...and snot	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I realize it's only February, but this is my favorite book of the year. Now is it right to declare it the BEST book of the year before I've read all the future books from now until December 31st? Quite possibly. Why? John Green gutted me with this one. I used to watch my grandmother slice the catch at the lake for dinner. I thought, a) wow, you stink, fish and b) poor fish, I'm sorry you're going to go in my belly and I don't even like you, even while covered in tartar sauce. For me, there is a literary equivalent to that poor fish - when I've read a book that turns me inside out. John made me laugh in one paragraph and cry in the next. I can't tell you how many times I yelled, ""oh, no!"" in the book or had to set it down for a few seconds to gather my bearings - or blow my nose - before being able to read the next sentence. I'm pleased the book will be made into the movie and I hope Hollywood does it justice. These kids deserve the best. And, John, you deserve all these five stars and more. lit love to you, sir</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2ONAJWVMT0EAA?ASIN=014242417X	Green portrays the teenage generation as extremely sex driven.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The story itself was sweet and sad and something that I will remember for years to come. However the way that Green portrays any of the characters is somewhat offensive. Being a teenager, most of my friends were reading it so I decided to read it. However while reading it I realized that this is how adults view us teenagers. As extremely sex driven. Kaitlyn, Isaac, Gus, and Hazel are the only teenage characters we really meet and all of those make extreme sexual comments or have sex during the novel. Being a teenage girl I find it quite offensive that the author believes us teenagers have no self control what so ever and depicts us as very dirty minded. Greene is helping the to cement the lie that all teenagers are powered by their hormones and have sex.  Besides that point, the entire character of Augustus is extremely unbelievable and that guy would never come into reality. While the plot is sweet the characters themselves and how the teenage generation gets depicted, it is a very sweet and sad book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2A8W4FAY7MZLQ?ASIN=014242417X	it was so good I sobbed through half the book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Man, I can't say I liked it, I have to say I LOVED it. The whole book is like a long mantra, it has a bunch of little phrases that show you the meaning of everything. The book doesn't show an opinion...it shows you the truth (and that's an option in itself). You read this book, and you hope, you truly hope that this story isn't just a fiction book: one that you can read, and just put up on the shelf. You hope it isn't just over. But as TFIOS says: you die in the middle of a sentence, or a paragraph, or a book; like in AIA.<br/><br/> After a while, you expect to lose your sense of emotion-ness when you retread a book. That is a complete misconception. My theory is: after you've read a book twice, ten times, twenty times, if you still get that feeling of heartache, that feeling of joy, if you still cry (not even at the very end, but in the middle, because you know the characters's happiness only lasts so long), then you know, you know that book is THE book.<br/><br/>The book you remember forever.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2C06OYCN5SX80?ASIN=014242417X	Overrated perhaps	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">It's not hard to see why a certain subgroup of readers went bananas over this book, but it perplexes me how otherwise sensible adults seem to have lost their heads in droves. The plot is fanciful, not ridiculous but not entirely credible either; I couldn't tell whether it wanted to be. Likewise the characters were a little bit fantastic, a tiny little bit real (well, not all of them), and mostly a sort of unbelievable hybrid. Worst, I think, was the synthetic, superficial emotional tone of the novel. Adolescents are more passionate, dramatic, and volatile in the face of bad hair days and ""unfair"" tests than these seemed to be who confronted mortality, disability, real hopelessness, and wrenching choices about how to allocate their time and attentions. Flippant attitudes and language may well serve as an attempt to disguise fear and frustration, but not 24/7. I was left with the feeling that Mr. Green didn't know or didn't want his readers to know about the iceberg below the adorable tip.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">My fellow human beings, The main argument I'm seeing against this amazing peice of literature is that the vocabulary is ""unrealistic for teenagers"" or ""unrelatable to adolecents"" I however belive that we must examine the people who this book is marketed to, who it was written for, the nerdfighters. These are people who have words like ""monotonous"" and ""lacerate"" in their everyday vocabulary. These are people who understand the power of a well-worded metaphor. The interesting conversationalists. The smart ones. The ones who make great friends and wait for several minutes trying to think of the perfectly selected word. The ones that fear oblivion, the ones that think fearing oblivion is ridiculous, the ones who do both. The ones who read books and watch videos that encourage them to be intelligent. The nerdfighters. thank you John. Thank you Hank. And thank the entire nerdfighter community. I love you guys.<br/><br/>Sincerly, nerdfighter forever, Mia<br/>DFTBA</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RPKXC0YJFKWRO?ASIN=014242417X	writing like this is why I came to love reading	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">When I was 14 I read J.D. Salinger's Catcher in the Rye for the very first time. Naturally, I really did not care for it. (What teenager would?) Early on in college, I read it again. It was better the second time. Some time after college, I read it again. Now, I had begun to be mesmerized by it.<br/><br/>The fourth time was in my 30s and I suddenly understood the entire book was told in a single breath. While I have not read it again (yet), I think on this singularly spectacular piece of writing often.<br/><br/>Imaginably, John Greene's The Fault in Our Stars will have a similar effect on readers young enough to be beginning their reading careers but mature enough to already love narrative. Also Imaginably, it will challenge young readers, charm them, and beguile them into reading still more. Best of all, when they are older still and happen to re-read The Fault in Our Stars, it is likely they will discover it to be the sort of book that gets better as we do.<br/><br/>Required reading.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R9NMA3TYNSUYK?ASIN=014242417X	I don't think I was the target audience, loved it anyway.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I bought this book on the day I purchased my Kindle. I thought a five star book with 16,000 reviews was a safe bet for a good book.<br/>I'm not a fast reader but I finished this book in two days. At the start I thought I had failed in the choice of my first book, but I was determined to see it through. Half-way through the book I was hooked.<br/><br/>I'm a 20 year old male, the last time I cried was when I was 17, drunk, and freshly broken hearted. Regardless of my emotional stability (when sober) I enjoyed the emotional roller coaster, I'm not afraid to admit I cried solidly for about 20% of this book. And I mean it, I enjoyed that roller coaster of emotion, I enjoyed the beautiful story and I feel like I've grown as a person feeling like a fool for not appreciating the life I've been blessed with. I'm going to be selective of who I see the movie with, because the chances are it will probably reopen my fresh wound and leave me choking back silent tears.<br/><br/>Thank you John Green.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RBDT40V7BOK26?ASIN=014242417X	honest opinion	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I absolutely LOVED the book. i've read so many books over the years andthis is my favorite and I cried through out the book and it just helped me understand so many concepts of world. I loved it. There isn't just a book that tells you a story and shows how people went through something...it goes beyond the meaning of just a book. It creates a whole new perspective and it just exceeds the definition of a ""book"" I wish there were more books out there. The way the story stars and the non-chalant way the story continues but with so much depth at the same time is just so amazing to me. John Green really out did himself this time and I wish his work was more recognized. I wish I could just read it all over again. Sometimes you come across books that you want to quote out of, because those quotes speak to you but this book..this is the first time I've felt like I could quote the entire book. Its beautiful. Its versatile. Its..close to perfection. For me, its perfection. I love love love LOVED it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R133KC4F5LL8ET?ASIN=014242417X	Cathartic and engaging, this love story will remind you tha despide the hurt and loss it can bring, love is why we are here.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">From the first paragraph this book pulled me in, broke my heart and left me simultaneously emotionally spent and spiritually renewed. The book is as predictable as you might expect about two teenagers with cancer - one dies and it is devastating - but the writing is so personal and credible that you can't help but give yourself over to the story. I wanted so much for these two kids to live. I could see everything before them that they would never experience! Yet their humor and resilience, and their simple normalness as teenagers....these are the things that drew me most strongly towards these kids. And the adults in the book - especially the parents - all added to the storyline and depth. As an adult woman with a teen daughter, I loved this book. Liz got a copy in her stocking from Santa (he is avid reader as well!) and I am sure (like me) within a few days she will be crying on the couch as she reads the last few wrenching pages of this beautiful, sad and ultimately inspiring love story.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R20VU3LJUSK6KO?ASIN=014242417X	Awesome. But what else could you expect from John Green?	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Few authors remember well the confusion of being a teen ager, of trying to find out who/what you are to you and the rest of the world. I'm 27 and while I stopped being a teenager some time ago, I love how John's writing not only makes you love/root for his characters, but also the way he makes us ""see"" through his characters in a way that makes teenagers say ""this guy 'gets' me"" and us older folk say ""yeah, I remember this. This is EXACTLY how it feels"".<br/><br/>TFIOS is a novel that although 'involves' people with cancer, it's more about the people than the cancer. Yes, they have to cope with that, but its not about the ""great fight"" or ""courage against adversity"" it's about Hazel, and her life. Not her illness, but her life.<br/><br/>People with cancer and other types of sickness, often *become* their sickness, making their life exist around the fact that they are sick. And John does not allow Hazel to become one of those.<br/><br/>Believe me, you REALLY want to read this book.<br/><br/>And don't forget to be awesome!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3CT9ROMZ9BW7C?ASIN=014242417X	I'm traumatized... but in the best possible way	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Granted, this is a surprisingly funny and uplifting story, considering it centers around two teenagers with cancer who meet in a support group and fall in love. And there were numerous times I laughed out loud. It is so smartly written, making you think about things just a little while thoroughly entertaining you the entire way. But it is also the only book I can ever remember that made me sob out loud, uncontrollably, and more than once. (Thank God I was alone.) Of course, part of it is that the lead boy's name is Gus, same as my 5-year old, who is blessedly healthy... something I am emphatically more grateful for after reading this gem of a novel. But it is also so honest and raw and beautiful and gut-wrenching and inspiring and yes, very, very funny. It is technically considered a Young Adult novel, and all I can say is we are so lucky to have authors like John Green writing such exquisite books for our children to read. But make no mistake, this book is for any lover of literature.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RYL4P14ETOPPO?ASIN=014242417X	AMAZING!!! Affects you so much...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is a great book for anyone to read and also is a New York Times #1 best seller. But besides holding that title I can tell this book has something VERY special about it. This book isn't a perfect love story you hope for at most times, but holds a universal message. The whole idea of Augustus and Hazel falling in love was that ""Great pain needs to be felt"". It's the imperfectness of them two that bring them together. Hazel says, quote ""I believe the universe wants to be noticed. It junk the universe is improbably biased toward the consciousness, that it rewards intelligence in part because the universe enjoys its elegance being observed""... she feels like she is in the middle of it. This book will reveal what that means and how she sees her life through the universe. This is simply not a ""cancer"" book looking for human self pity... READ IT!!! John Green made this book nothing short from perfection and catches the eyes and heart of each individual reader In their own special way...</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2NGQ0QFXUBEI7?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in Our Stars is Universal	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">First off, I should point out that I am twenty-four years old and I therefore do not fit into the typical ""young adult"" reader category.  But that is one of the beautiful things about this book, as well as John Green's other books - age does not particularly matter.  The themes explored in this novel - love, friendship, illness, grief, the desire for meaning - are all universal, so I can say with a great deal of certainty that anyone at any stage in their life can appreciate this story and these characters.<br/><br/>This story is not about cancer.  Above everything else, it is a love story and it is filled with Green's celebrated profundity and heart.  The imagery is so powerful that, by the end, I felt that I had intimately known these people, and greatly wished that I did.  It is a book that I, and I'm sure many others, will be rereading and rerereading, etc, because it left me wanting to see more adventures with Hazel and to get lost in Augustus's goofy smile for just a little longer.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RAMTEC1NOC1AD?ASIN=014242417X	The Best 4 Hours I've Spent in a Very Long Time	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Reading this book was the best 4 hours I have spent in a very long time. John Green’s words brought Hazel and Augustus into my heart. They managed to heal it and break it all at once, and I’d go through it all again, quite willingly.<br/><br/>People just don’t write about cancer kids in the way he did, and their teenaged voices were authentic enough to make me slip back into the skin I wore twenty years ago. Adults have been underestimating the intelligence and language skills of teenagers forever, especially the ones who faced things that made them grow up faster than is natural. They were my friends, and I was in for the long haul. I didn’t want to leave them, no matter how uncomfortable the ride got.<br/><br/>He also got love right. The love of friends, family, and lovers. It was all so right.<br/><br/>This is the kind of book you insist your friends read, and they thank you when they’re done but there’s nothing more to say because it’s THAT perfect. It is that special.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RDFFZJKRNPPP6?ASIN=014242417X	Great and Easy Read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I purchased this book a few months ago but put off reading because I knew it was going to be relatively sad! John Green did an amazing job bringing the characters to life, even the minor characters had great development. I also enjoyed how well thought out the seriousness of young love was depicted. I gave this book 5 stars because it was great writing, an easy read, and had one of the best story lines I've read in awhile. Highly recommend if you don't mind shedding a few tears throughout the book.<br/><br/>I see people complaining about the characters not acting like ""regular teenagers"". I think it's important to remember they are not regular teenagers, they are teens staring death in the face on a daily basis. Hazel also is enrolled in college at the age of 16, I think her behavior is appropriate under the circumstances. They also spend a lot of time playing video games, if that doesn't say ""teenager"" then clearly people only have stereotyped ideas of what a teen should be.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RFW72TJIX15O7?ASIN=014242417X	A brilliant (if not slightly depressing) read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">John Green has captured something here. Something unique. From the moment you dive into the world of Hazel Lancaster, it's hard not to feel what she is feeling. That, to me, is the mark of great fiction - when the reader so thoroughly disconnects from their own reality, that they cannot help but adapt the reality of the character in front of them. Green manages this phenomenon through raw emotion, relatable dialogue, and what I can only describe as one of the most beautiful tragic twists in recent young adult fiction.<br/><br/>Admittedly, there are a few points that are a bit campy, and there are some segments that feel emotional for the sake of emotion. However, Green remains true to his genre through and through, and it is hard not to appreciate that. This is a grand and masterful (and also heart-rending and solemn) tale for a more modern generation of readers. It is a great balance of raw, blunt honesty and warm, poignant story-telling.<br/><br/>Definitely worth a read!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R10EYQ9Y9GSZA?ASIN=014242417X	More than just another Sad Teenager Story. Much more.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">You told me this was a great read, but I ignored you, thinking John Green was just another author of Sad Teenager Stories.<br/><br/>I was wrong.<br/><br/>The Fault in Our Stories is the story of a sixteen-year-old girl, Hazel, who has been dying of cancer for the last three years. Her mother forces her to get up out of bed and socialize, and, in this quest to help her shake off depression, she takes her to a Cancer Support Group.<br/><br/>And there Hazel meets the oh-so-handsome Augustus Waters. He, too, has been fighting cancer, with one of his legs lost in his battle.<br/>Hazel and Augustus talk books which leads them off on a wild trip to meet the world's worst behaved author, all the way in the Netherlands.<br/><br/>I was right, too, though; this book is a Sad Teenager Story. But, oddly, it is also a Happy Teenager Story, and that mix, plus the wonderful characters of Hazel and Augustus and, yes, even the Awful Author, you will want to meet make it a must-read.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R7JQ0UY7YH4B8?ASIN=014242417X	Fantastic!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is my first John Green read. I loved this book! I especially like the style of writing the author has. Unfortunately I've seen my share of cancer patients, both terminal and ""curable"", and this account of their struggle is pretty accurate. I loved the sarcasm and the humour. The love story was there, but it wasn't in your face like most love stories are. I like that he explained things quickly and didn't spend too much time on a description of what something looked like, but you still got a good picture in your mind of what he was describing.<br/>My only complaint was the language and vocabulary these teenagers used on a daily basis. That is the only thing I didn't find very ""believable"". Everything else in the story was plausible down to the Make A Wish Foundation wish granting.<br/>I found myself seriously laughing out loud and crying and reading lines aloud to my husband so he could share my experience, which I almost never do.<br/>all in all, a very good read!!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R30M1TOBIJVGGY?ASIN=014242417X	Beautifully written	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I had downloaded this book a while ago and couldn't remember what it was all about.  This was one of the rare times that I just started reading without knowing what type of story it would be (chick lit, non-fiction, drama, mystery).  From the first page it grabbed me and didn't let me go until I finished it within the day.  Make no mistake - it is sad and gripping, and very, very real.  The story is about life and death and all the struggles in between from the perspective of teenagers that are facing death way sooner than they should have to face it.  It was beautifully written, funny (laughed out loud several times), poignant, romantic, truthful and sad all wrapped in one wonderful package.  It is a book that you will remember and will think about for a long time to come.  It is one I will always remember because it grips you and makes you THINK, where so many books do not.  If you want a book that will leave its mark on you, this is one that will beautifully touch you.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2LAUW13TO1T51?ASIN=014242417X	A wonderful story!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Wow, to describe this book is nearly impossible. There is no doubt that John Green is a gifted writer.<br/><br/>You will laugh, you will cry and you'll repeat it again and again. You will not be able this book down after reading the first chapter. I read the book in one day. And I will read it again. My favorite scene... when Hazel Grace revealed her ""Disney's Wish"" to her friend, Augustus Waters. I laughed and laughed.<br/><br/>Hazel Grace &amp; Augustus Waters are unforgetable characters and you will enjoy watching their friendship grow from the staring contest at their first meeting and you will stay with them until the end of their story. And what and ending it was. It it utterly unforgetable. I can see why this book was the #1 New York Times Besteller in 2012.<br/><br/>I hope the passage below from John Green's book will encourage you to read it :)<br/><br/>Gus's father: ""Our children are weird"".<br/>My dad: ""Nicely phrased.""<br/>~ from the Fault in Our Stars.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RDI9PSSVJ4P7D?ASIN=014242417X	Just beautiful	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I have never written a book review before, but I knew before I was finished reading it that I HAD to write one for this story.<br/>This is truly one of, if not the most, wonderfully written stories I have had the pleasure to read.  It captivated me from the moment I started reading it and held me the whole time.<br/>I do not want to give away any of the story, but I do not believe there is a soul alive who could read this and not feel for Hazel and Augustus.<br/>It isn't often while reading you find yourself sobbing so hard for the characters, and then unexpectedly laughing through your tears. This story, and the characters, are so honest and real, and I cannot express how much I love love love this story!<br/>It isn't just a love story, or just a sad story, or just a tragedy, or just any one thing at all.  It's some of everything that comes in life, and that includes humor in the face of death. Please read it, as I am probably going to immediately do again myself!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RHE7QEW7QX160?ASIN=014242417X	Excellent!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">John Green is an astute observer of humankind. He composes symphonies with his words. Often when I listen to Mozart or Beethoven I realise that each note they wrote for a particular piece of music is essential, has a function and without that one note the music would be all wrong.<br/><br/>John Green's writing evokes in me a similar understanding: every syllable on every page is essential to the story. In many places I have felt that the book is profound. I am not normally a hunter and gatherer of 'quotable quotes' yet in this book I felt compelled to highlight. There are so many passages that one wants to read and reread until they become a part of your being.<br/><br/>This book is not for the fainthearted - I have been avoiding it for a while because I was initially not brave enough, now I am sad that I did not read it sooner. I highly recommend that you do read this splendid book.<br/><br/>Well done John Green! I am looking forward to reading your other works.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R110M7M3DUGKHL?ASIN=014242417X	Meh...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Ok so I got this book because everywhere I turned this book was popping up and it got phenomenal reviews on amazon and was all over Barnes and noble etc etc.  Normally when a book is as hyped up as this one is it does not disappoint.  Well this book is the exact opposite.  I'm the type of reader that flies through six hundred/ seven hundred page books without a problem and I enjoy books with substance which I figured this book would have.  I have been reading this book for three weeks now and it does not seem to end.  This book is so awfully boring plus I guessed what happened before getting to the end.  Nothing really happens in this book it's just a day by day count of totally unbelievable teenage characters.  No teenager I know talks or thinks the way these kids do (well maybe hipsters) but whatever.  This book really disappointed me.  I was expecting this great emotional roller coaster ride of not being able to put this book down and all I felt was blah is the chapter over yet?  I'm just highly disappointed by a day by day encounter of two teenagers.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R12FR95ZQB42N4?ASIN=014242417X	Absolutely fantastic read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Absolutely fantastic read. This novel is painful: I literally cried -sobbed- through the entire last third of the book. It is hilarious: It is carefully lined with witty conversation and a touch of almost ""inappropriate"" humor that only John Green could master. And it contains possibly the most beautiful love story I have ever read: Hazel and Augustus are absolutely perfect in way that you must read and experience for yourself.<br/><br/>This is my favorite John Green book I have read largely because of the way that he captures the depth of human emotion (as evidenced by all of the crying and the literal laughing out loud at times) and the fact that it has a fantastic plot that is never dull for a moment.<br/><br/>Finally, this book will force you to think about the size and importance of the human life in terms of what you can/will/expect to accomplish during your lifetime, how you will be remembered, and how much this matters.<br/><br/>I highly recommend it.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R17FN72IHGCJDL?ASIN=014242417X	Beautifully Suffered	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">There are probably not enough words available to put into spacial elements of how truly wonderful this book is. It's a book that will have you laughing and crying at the same time, and bring you into the very real world of young people, dealing with something, no young person should need or have to experience. These characters are so well-thought out, that I feel if I were a teen dealing with such tribulations, I feel as though, Id probably have the same aspects and views. Hazel &amp; Gus' story is so moving and guttural that I felt like if their story was told in any other way, or shown in any other light that it would not do enough justice to who they were, it would feel wrong. I feel as though, we shouldn't take what we have for granted, and even though these kids were sick, they made the best of what they had, which so often, we forget to do. I adored this book and anyone that knows about living should read this book to get a refreshing view on dying and on love.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RVM0F8GXVTOJM?ASIN=014242417X	TFIOS Reaction	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is easily one of the most beautiful and powerful works of literature your eyes will ever transmit o your brain for processing and comprehension. The Fault In Our Stars is a blinding story of star-crossed love that takes the preconceived notions of young adult novels, and kicks them in the face. It goes on to completely seduce you, amaze you, and (once you know that you are totally in love with the sudden love story of the main characters) smash your heart into innumerable pieces that you know you will never truly be able to put back together. It simply has no choice but to destroy you emotionally in the best way possible. It takes a moment to fall in love with this book, a night to finish it, and several lifetimes to recover from the beauty and tragedy. You simply have to read it,and finish until the bitter end, for it will enlighten you, and show the true depth of teenagers, the terminal cases, and those who are left behind when the grenade finally blows.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1TRQL915XB94V?ASIN=014242417X	AMAZING	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I've had this book in my cue for months just not ready to dive into something so heavy just yet. I will go ahead and say that I LOVED, LOVED, LOVED it.<br/><br/>John Green made it so easy to connect with all of his characters. Hazel Grace and Augustus Waters are now my two favorites and I don't think I will ever forget about them. It was ridiculous how much I fell in love with these two. Hazel was especially funny even when she wasn't trying to be. Augustus was all kinds of sexy; the kid is well beyond his years.<br/><br/>I honestly knew I was going to love this book a couple of pages in. I laughed at the awesomeness that was Hazel Grace, Isaac and Augustus. I also cried for about 4 chapters straight (probably more). At the end I wanted to get all Hazel Grace and contact John Green with some questions I felt like he needed to answer :).<br/><br/>Overall GREAT book that I will no doubt have to read again. The Fault in Our Stars is top 3 for me for sure.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R15FEAKY7T6B25?ASIN=014242417X	John Green's Best Work	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Absolutely fabulous. THis book will capture you, entertain you, and break your heart before you know it. This book is John Green at his best, with each sentence beautifully crafted. Opening this book is like opening a door to another reality with people so real you feel as though you could touch them. A shocking portrayal of the effects of cancer as told from the eyes of a dying teenage girl. Although a morbid topic, you'll be too caught up in your love for the characters that you wont notice your heart break.<br/>An instant classic to be read many more times than one, and shared as much as possible. This book's quality makes it instantly clear that green spent years crafting it. It's a #1 New York Times Bestseller for a reason: people love it. I picked it up and didnt put it down until i read it all, then I read it again.<br/>This book will be enjoyed for many, many, MANY years to come and this work only leaves me more excited for his next book. BUY THIS BOOK.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3ISTECI0VUN1C?ASIN=014242417X	I've never been this impacted before...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is amazing and terrible at the same time. I can't decide whether to rate it 5 stars or 1, or if I should recommend that others read it too.<br/><br/>I am a 21 year old male, and I take pride in the fact that I can generally ""suck it up"" when it comes to really sad things. I've seen Where the Red Fern Grows, Toy Story 3, Old Yeller, etc., multiple times and have never shed a tear. This book made me bawl like a baby. You fall in love with the characters and their story, and even when you brace yourself for the worst it still isn't enough for when the worst comes to fruition. Every chapter and every word keeps you hooked and wanting more. I downloaded the book and started reading at 9 PM one evening and I finished it in one sitting, at close to 2 AM, with tears streaming down my face.<br/><br/>Read at your own risk. This book will be one of the most memorable ones you will ever read, but whether or not that's a good thing is up to you.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1Z9NR6OBDN4RP?ASIN=014242417X	A different story about a struggle with cancer	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is different from other cancer stories. The reader does not ghoulishly stand by looking on as a family and team of doctors are defeated by the disease. The story is about a cancer victim in these stories, to be sure, but it is not the victim's voice and -- strangely -- not his/her story.<br/><br/>This story is in the voices of two young people, each stricken with different cancers. We meet their families but what their families are going through and what they learn from the ordeal never takes over the story. We hear about experimental treatments given as a last resort that just might help, but, again the medical drama doesn't take over.<br/><br/>Green makes the voices ring true and the events believable. You care about the characters in this cancer story not because it is so tragic and so much to ask any victim / family member / doctor to endure like most cancer stories. In this one, you care about the characters because you identify with them.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2GNAY0KRU3O9F?ASIN=014242417X	Liked It but it Had a Slow Start	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Although I eventually liked this book, it had a very slow start.  It wasn't until about half-way through the book that it began to get interesting.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1V5Z60H792AQS?ASIN=014242417X	Bought before I read the reviews	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Let me start by saying that I am 28. While this book was downloading, I started reading the reviews and became disheartened by how many really terrible reviews there were. So I waited to read the book for a couple of weeks and when I picked it up, I started watching for all the problems other reviewers pointed out. I couldn't see them and certainly couldn't understand why anyone would have hated it so vehemently as some reviewers seemed to.<br/><br/>The attitude and demeanor of the two main characters have been criticized as snarky and temperamental, but I found them to be no more so than normal teenagers and at times, they seemed more mature than I would have expected.<br/><br/>I found the characters intriguing and their love story very sweet and touching. I laughed at parts and the cried moments later and that is pretty amazing. I love finding characters that I become so emotionally connected to and this book definitely provided that connection.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2PN7EYN2TX0EV?ASIN=014242417X	Amazingly Sad	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is a wonderful insight into the world of a cancer patient.  Haze Grace Lancaster has a tumor in her lungs and is terminally ill. Augustus had cancer and now has a prosthetic leg. He wants nothing more than to leave his mark on the world and that he does on Hazel Grace 's heart.<br/><br/>The book has some ups and downs. I highly suggest that you do not read this book in front of people if you have a tendency to get emotional while reading a sad book. As I have learned while reading The Fault in Our Stars. Amazing for young adults but not for twelve year olds. A twelve year old might not understand the sadness you go through when losing a loved one.<br/><br/>I read this to more deeply understand the agony and sorrow of cancer and how bad this is for many people who have lost someone to cancer.  My friend recently battled Leukemia last year ending up in the ICU quite frequently during this battle.  I hope you realize how precious life is.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R26IHIJRUHZI52?ASIN=014242417X	Honest & real life	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Simply brilliant! when I began the book, I expected it to be painful &amp; just sad. I delayed reading it for weeks even after my niece insisted I read it. I won't lie, I didn't cry for the first half of the book, but the last half ripped me open, and I found myself sobbing for the pain these characters experience. I adored Hazel &amp; Augustus, they are written intelligently and compassionately. And the story takes turns that are so unexpected &amp; raw. The description of the book tells you that the main character Hazel is terminal so you don't expect happily ever after. But I did not expect the turns in the story that happened. This is the kind of book that makes you examine your life, your beliefs &amp; will stay with you forever. This is the first John Green book I have read, I plan on reading more. I recommend this book to anyone who is looking for an honest &amp; emotional story. Life isn't always fair &amp; there isn't always a happily ever after...it is just real.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R5KX14BO6C49N?ASIN=014242417X	Wow...just wow	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I always thought that John Green was one of the most brilliant writers of all time...maybe not of all time, but pretty darned close.  The Fault in Our Stars only confirmed it.  As other reviewers, I laughed, I cried.  This is unlike any other book that I've read of John Green's.  I love his writing style because he adds an honest approach, but with humor and a little adventure.  They all feel a little off-kilter, but in a good way.  I was entirely engrossed in this book until I finished it because I absolutely had to know what happens at the end.  And yet, I still can't seem to get it that the story has ended.  I may have to read it again right away to feel like it's not over.  Which is exactly how I feel everytime I finish one of Mr. Green's books.  John Green, if you ever read your Amazonian reviews, that is a great compliment to you.  This is not an easy book to review simply because it is not a typical read.  All I can say is that it's just wow.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RXHOUH61BIX7O?ASIN=014242417X	Best Book Ever	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I have completed this book for the second time. This is that kind of book that makes you want to re-read and re-read, you never get tired. I usually go for the action boos like Divergent or Hunger Games or Harry Potter, but this is a nice change, a pleasant one. It's a love story but not a traditional live story. I am currently working on a book that will probably never be published and I will never be know, but this book has changed my point of view of writing. Even though I am unknown to most of the world and will probably remain unknown, this book has helped me so much, on how to sound smarter even in life. This is truly a great book, my favorite even. I enjoyed reading this book so much, I could not put it down. I even got in trouble a couple times for reading when I was not supposed to be reading but it was well worth it. Thank you, John Green for writing such an amazing and lovely story that the whole world should, in my opinion, be reading.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R7G8VKK5OWM7A?ASIN=014242417X	I don't get it	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book hardly needs talking about. Certainly no summary is needed. Despite the hype and the accolades, I'm still not sure I understand the appeal here. Like every other John Green book there are overly intellectual characters pondering the universe and trying to find meaning in it. Because these characters both have cancer there is also the inevitable pall of death hanging over the novel.<br/><br/>The story is interesting in its own way. There is a fun thread about loving, truly loving a book. There is romance. There are grand gestures. There are also unconvincingly intellectual teens who are shockingly self-aware (which, I feel, is likely not a side effect of dying no matter how literary a book it might make).<br/><br/>I'm just not sure why all of that added up to making this book a huge phenomenon. Maybe that's my fault. Maybe it's because the hospital scenes and the illness hit too close to home. Maybe it's because I really hated that Isaac is blind for most of the novel but is never shown learning to use a cane or travel on his own.<br/><br/>This book sells itself and you've probably already read it. If you have, maybe you can explain the appeal to me.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R281O7BJ27SBPL?ASIN=014242417X	Has become my favorite book now	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS BOOK! I came into reading this book knowing that I would be crying my eyes off and that is what I did exactly. I always warn my friends before they read this book that it will get very emotional. At the end of each chapter I was always in tears, but not only because the story is sad, but that John Green wrote in a way that made me feel like I was reading a friend's journey through cancer. I thought the characters were beautifully written as well as the entire book. I had multiple moments where I laughed out loud because the main characters were so witty and love-able. They felt like real people when John Green wrote about them and that made me love this book even more because although I am not going through the same thing as they were, I felt relatable to them. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and it has definitely become one of my all time favorite books. One of the few books I have read that made me really appreciate life.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1WPEN6YMWH5FO?ASIN=014242417X	Trendy but Not Worth the Read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was recommended by a friend that usually has a great sense for books. She failed on this one, and this book failed to resonate with me. The characters were one note. Despite the protestations of several of them (something like I am not cancer; I am not my disease), this book became only about cancer, and not about or using character, plot, or a dozen other things that make a book worth reading. At one point, I became confused over who was speaking as the characters repeat the same things; the lines between them became blurred to the point that I was bored and restless. It was like reading through one long sermon about how people with cancer should ""really"" feel. And nothing happens. Oh, they DO things, but nothing happens. There is no growth, no movement, nothing. To make matters worse, it has the silly and juvenile sense of love from ""Twilight"" and the true, but depressingly fated, ""WE-WILL-ALL-DIE"" mantra from a really bad Nicholas Sparks' book. Read it if you want to stay up on trendy books. Skip it if you want to read something entertaining or want to be challenged to consider life, or anything for that matter, differently.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1C50H5Z5KV9CJ?ASIN=014242417X	Unrealistic...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Because The Fault in our Stars received such rave reviews, I had high expectations. Unfortunately, it fell short for me. The characters are painfully unconvincing - mature WAY beyond their years. Where were the tell-tale signs of youth: social awkwardness, cultural ineptitude... even feigned innocence? Instead, the conversations between the ""star-crossed lovers"" felt contrived, as if every utterance of a 16-year-old is thought-provoking. It seemed as though the author decided that as long as he threw in a few ""whatevers"", he could capture teen spirit. Personally, I believe teens (even the gifted ones) generally have a more myopic view of life.<br/><br/>I understand that Green is an author who demands intelligence from his young adult readers, but in my humble opinion, that still could've been accomplished with hints of extemporaneous dialogue thrown in.<br/><br/>Furthermore, the plot was sadly predictable and lacked depth.</span>"
1.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2VRK4JTJKXCRC?ASIN=014242417X	AMAZING	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was a very moving yet a truthful and teaching piece of literature. It taught us what life is worth and to live it while we can. To me this book showed what we can do as individuals and what we can do as a whole. I feel like I connected to this book and understood about everything that they said about anything. When I first heard of this book I wanted to read just to read it. After reading it, I would tell anyone  an  everyone  to read this because it shows us (the incredibly stupid human race) what life is worth. Just because you are disabled and can't to EVERYTHING doesn't mean you can't do SOMETHING. I know saying that I felt connected to this book is stupid because I have never had cancer and don't want to, but I just feel something I can't explain , I am a happy healthy 12 year old and hope to stay this way. This book opened my eyes and is helping me see clearer. The Fault in Our Stars is more  than fantastic, it is inspiring!</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I am speechless- which is seriously pathetic because John Green has seriously- see I'm not even making sense.<br/>This book- this book is my everything.<br/>And I absolutely HATE sickness books. With all my heart.<br/><br/>But this book, John Green's gift to me, this was such an eye opener and I am so grateful he took the time (such a long, long time) to write such wonderful wonderfuls.<br/><br/>Oh, and he also signed my god damned book.<br/><br/>His pensive thoughts have certainly been expressed throughout the book and I felt as if I have gotten to know John's ""deep"" side.<br/>You wouldn't tell that the guy who smeared peanut butter on his face for fun would write such wonderful wonderfuls.<br/><br/>Right- well, this reveiw sucked, and I can't exactly pour my heart and soul into a review, so you're just going to have to read it yourself.<br/>John, you good hearted bastard, thank you for the best book I have ever read this year (I read lots of books, and I know it's only January).</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R362KZEXWN2A1?ASIN=014242417X	emotional turmoil like no other	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I loved this book for its harsh and unbridled honesty that most works of fiction don't give you, but to me this book isn't fiction and Augustus and Hazel live on forever in the limited infinity that is my heart and soul. This book has brought me infinite turmoil like no other, but has also taught me so many valuable lessons. One being that fighting cancer isn't as courageous as some make it out to be, they fight simply because this is what life has given them. Secondly that life is not a wish-granting factory as many hope it to be. Life is cruel and unfair but as once stated ""without pain one cannot understand joy"" and lastly that the faults of life is not in our stars but in ourselves and how we choose to view and react to situations much out of our control. While this book will emotionally scar you, it is the best work do art I have ever witnessed and if you have not read it, you have to or your life will forever be incomplete</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R29ZA8WJ9EI874?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in Our Stars (YA)	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Book #10 Read in 2013<br/>The Fault in Our Stars by John Green (YA)<br/><br/>I knew this was a cancer book.  I knew it would be an emotional read.  What I didn't know was that I would love Hazel and Gus so much.  These two were great characters.  The pair meet at a cancer support group.  Havel has cancer.  Gus had cancer and lost a leg to it.  The two connect at first through Issac, in the support group and Gus's friend.  Issac is going blind from his cancer.  Gus and Hazel have an immediate connection and they fall in love, despite Hazel trying to fight that from happening.  But young love is never easy, let alone when cancer is involved.<br/><br/>This book was a great read.  Readers will come to love these characters and yearn for their happiness.  Green is an incredible author and his writing makes this not ""just another cancer book"".  His writing immediately embraces readers into the lives of these characters and the plot surrounds all.<br/><br/>[...]</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3SCN7ICGXX689?ASIN=014242417X	Lovely and Heartbraking	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I'm crying now more than ever in book terms. This book made me smile, made me cry, and made me squirm when it got to the kissing parts. Really, those are my high standard criteria, having one, the other, both or all three, which this one has. Right after I read it, finishing at 2:30 in the morning because I couldn't put it down, I decided I must read it again. I love John Green's persuasive select in the words and phrases he used, in that the book became an aspect of my life. It was the moment when he drew something out to deliberately emphasize, yet then he would get straight to the point. I mean, if you want a romantic heartbreaker, put down that crappy Twighlight series and pick up this one. If tears were black, I'd look like a zebra, I cried so hard. I stay melancholy for a reason unknown and vague to those who haven't read this book. You won't regret it, though if you are even close to humane, you will cry at the end, as I did.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3IJ3KZZ7YZ8KW?ASIN=014242417X	The fault in our stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">When I started this book, I thought I knew how it was going to end but now I feel like Hazel did when she wanted to know what happened to Anna in Peter van Housen's book. It's an excellent and emotional story but to be honest, I really am at a loss when it comes to reviewing this book. Do the characters seem real? I don't know....I personally don't know any teen cancer survivors to compare them to. I understood what the parents of these kids went through from a caregiver perspective, having been like Hazel's mom (always waiting on the other side of the door and within earshot) when it came to my own mother and her battle with cancer. Hazel and Augustus were deep thinkers for their age but Hazel herself explained that their maturity was due to the fact that they have had to face their own mortality at such a young age. The love story was beautiful but cut short by tragedy. I can't say more without giving spoilers so I'll stop here.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R4TMOXUQ6W8Z4?ASIN=014242417X	"Extremely Sad Yet Beautiful Story - ""A Must Read"""	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The title of this book does not provide a spoiler.  Anyone deciding to read a book about kids and cancer should expect it to be sad.  But in addition to being sad, it is a great romance and a beautifully told story that will make you laugh and cry.<br/><br/>The book is listed as a ""teen book"" which left me hesitant to purchase at first, but I decided to give it a try after reading the positive reviews.  Let me assure you it is not just for teens. The main characters are teens but it definitely holds interest for all ages.  As a parent, I related to Hazel and Augustus's parents.<br/><br/>The book received some negativve reviews stating that characters were not realistic and depicted as being too mature for teenagers.  I disagree.  They are depicted as childrent forced to grow up quicly in the face of tragedy.<br/><br/>I highly recommend this book.  I won't go in to depth with a description as that is the publisher's job.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3HLQ64D2AOECF?ASIN=014242417X	Surprised and Grateful	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I already had seen a synopsis of this book and decided against reading it, when my granddaughter, age 14, and her mother, my daughter, age 44, both recommended it. I am grateful that they did and that I took their suggestion. I found the writing to be excellent and the story, one of star-crossed young love (certainly nothing new there), to be strong and unique.  The forces against Hazel and Gus, the teenage central characters, are the frailties of their own bodies. By the same token there are lessons in this book about facing, fighting and accepting illness and death. I believe that those who suffer terminal illness and constant, insurmountable pain may find value here. Those who love and care for people whose lives are so compromised, hopefully will find better understanding. Do not be misled - This is not a self-help book.  It is at least a well told story and at best, a philosophical exploration of life, death and spirit.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1PMC7VNWW8DQ2?ASIN=014242417X	Depressing.  Uplifting.  Crushing. Inspiring.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">There are many words to describe this children's story, and having read it at the young age of twenty four, the only way that I can describe it is that I loved it.<br/><br/>I absolutely loved how watching Hazel fall in love with Augustus.  I loved watching how she transitioned from pre-cancer friends to post-cancer friends and how this new group of rag-tag survivors shaped her life throughout the book.  This story of young love overcoming adversity sets a new standard for the ""Coming of Age"" genre as a whole.  As you can expect from most Coming of Age stories, the Hazel with whom we're introduced is not the Hazel that we're left with; but what readers aren't expecting is that they aren't the same at the end of the story either.<br/><br/>It's cliche as hell, I know; but this book is one of the best short novels that I've read in a long while, and arguably the singular best Young Adult novel that I've read to date.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2AZOBFQAS171L?ASIN=014242417X	review	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">{my thoughts} – This book was amazing. It was nothing short of amazing. Hazel is a teen girl that’s life is highly dependent on experimental drugs and an oxygen tank. Her mother and father worry she is too use to being home and is too depressed so they send her off to a support group for other teenagers in her situation. She attends this support group and meets Gus. Gus is the secondary character in this book and the two off them make for a beautiful story. I laughed, I teared up and I nearly cried. I don’t think anyone could honestly read this book and not like it!<br/><br/>The only thing I am not pleased about is that it doesn’t give any answers as to what becomes of Hazel at the end of the book. It sort of stops leaving you wonder the rest. Other then that I could read it over and over again and still enjoy it just as much as the first time I had read it! It was just that wonderful to me. I highly recommend this book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R28LOIPISAVNB?ASIN=014242417X	John Green, you're amazing.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Dear John,<br/>  Thank you so much for writing this amazing and heartrending book. It's one of those books where you just stop and look at your life, and you see how it compares to your life. I now realize the even deeper contents of cancer because of you. I will probably read this book over and over again, just as Hazel read An Imperial Affliction over again.<br/>  But I was thinking... it would be awesome to know what does like for Augustus. What Gus thought of when he first saw Hazel, what Gus felt when he was suffering, everything. I'm sure this has crossed your mind already, but it would be amazing to have this book in Augustus' point of view. I completely understand if you don't, because it's probably for some greater good life lesson or something, just as van houten didn't write a sequel to An Imperial Affliction. Again, that was such a wonderful book and you've touched many people's lives with it, including mine.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1NQOL0TT0K3G5?ASIN=014242417X	John Green in the worst...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">... in absolutely the best way. I read this book in under half a day because I literally couldn't put it down. I bought it around sunset and read in the car until I really couldn't make out the words in front of me anymore. I picked at my dinner, absently pet my cat, I basically sat on the floor and ignored everything around me and stayed up in the wee hours of the morning to finish.<br/>And I cried for exactly 99 pages, and it was horrible and made me feel all kinds of things, but I loved every word. John Green is at the top of my favourite authors list, and this book is what propelled him up there. Hazel and Augustus are amazing characters that I loved throughout the entire story. And I know I'll read this book a hundred more times, I've already read it twice.<br/>I recommend this book to anyone and everyone, and if my mom weren't so stubborn, I would have thrust this on her months ago and made her love it too.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RI0B77LMSE083?ASIN=014242417X	Don't let the subject matter put you off, this is a great read!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book had been on my radar for the better part of a year, due to the stellar reviews virtually everywhere.  I finally decided to read it when the ""Best of 2012"" lists came out and there it was again.<br/>""Kids with cancer - oh, joy"" was my first thought.  Hazel, Augustus and Isaac are great kids, wise beyond their years, with enough snark and sarcasm to make them real.  Using the fictitious book-within-a-book, An Imperial Affliction, to bring a philosophical bent without having the kids seem preachy or pompous was very effective.<br/>A friend who thanked me for the recommendation called it ""a wonderful, quirky, contemplative book.""  Well-said.<br/>As a YA novel, it's a quick read, but a very, very slow ponder - this book really resonates.<br/>Paraphrasing one of the characters (no spoilers) - in trying to make a mark and be remembered, we risk leaving scars.  This scar was worth it.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R38H1PZQSIRDK3?ASIN=014242417X	A really great book to read (SPOILERS)	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">My friend recommended this book to me and at first I had my doubts. But when I started really reading it I was stuck to it and all I did on a Saturday was read it. I even finished the 300 page book in one day. It was a great story about Augustus and Hazel trying to find their way in a world of cancer.<br/>SPOILERS!!!!!!!!<br/><br/>When they (Hazel and Augustus) first met at the center and all he could do was stare at Hazel, I had goosebumps. Hazel's life had been horrible and devastating before she met this guy. But when she did and I found out that he actually liked her as much as she liked him my heart was on fire. I love these books when you meet a guy or girl and think they are really hot, only to find out that they would NEVER and I mean NEVER like you the way you like them. But in this book I was happy that Hazel and Augustus found each other because we all know, they needed some light from the darkness.</span>"

I will never forget it. I will now desperately search the internet for a sequel, draw Ven Diagrams, and eat eggs for lunch.<br/><br/>The Fault in Our Stars is worth every penny, second, and tear. The ending was heartbreaking, but still a good one. If you are debating on buying it, SHUT UP AND READ THE AWESOME BOOK ALREADY!<br/><br/>Edit after a second read: OH. MY. GLOB!!!!! There's movie coming out sometime! But this book was still amazing. Every time I read it, I still feel it. This is one of those books where reading it really makes you rethink EVERY. SINGLE. THING. YOU. KNOW. Just shut up and buy the darn book.<br/><br/>Edit after a third read: I started this book at 9:00pm, and now it is 12:30pm. I am in tears, because I failed to remember how brutally heart wrenching and beautifully composed this book is.</span>"

I'm sixteen years old, and though some people say the author wrote the main characters, especially Hazel and Augustus, not true to what teenagers are like, I think that that wasn't the point. He wrote them the way we wish we could all be when faced with a terminal illness; he made them brave and witty. Living with something like that forces you to grow up in a way few will probably ever understand, in a way I will probably never understand.<br/>This book brought to the forefront of my mind every thought and fear I had ever pondered about, and what it would be like to be in such a situation. It's so easy to get sucked into their world, and it reflects what I know I've felt from being on the outside looking in. The illness-repulsion, the pity in everyone's eyes. It's a beautiful work of art, and a must-read.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I don't think there is high enough praise available for this book.<br/><br/>It's a love story, with cancer, and it will break your heart but you can't turn away.<br/><br/>I normally don't like emotionally manipulative books, which this one does do, but it subverts the expectations.<br/><br/>I have heard books described as a 'Punch in the Gut' before, and I thought that was hyperbole.  I was wrong.<br/><br/>I finished this book after one am on a Wednesday night, and I immediately wanted to shout it's praised from the rooftop.  I wanted to call all my friends from high school, and tell them I loved them, and that even though we don't talk as much as we should I still cared.  (We lost one of our group to cancer when we were about the character's age in the book.)<br/><br/>I didn't, since I am a grown up and I had work in the morning.<br/><br/>Buy this book.  Read it.  Just don't read it in public.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2MSOJMS1ZQ882?ASIN=014242417X	Mostly a read for young adults ,	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">it was Just ok. A good read. I felt the characters were not fully developed. It was like something was ""missing"" I felt that Hazel and Gus were too one dimensional, and agree with others that say there were moments where the book was screaming ""ok time to cry !!"" When it really didn't pull the emotion from me the way it should. I'm not insensitive to those who are fighting juvenile cancer,as I am a pediatric RN. I just feel that this ""love"" story was too contrived and really needed more character development. The parents I felt were very ""quiet "" in this book. I did feel compassin for the children but Seeing the amazing reviews I'm just confused how it was rated so high. Good read and a nice book for young adults but for the 40 something mom pick something else. I was hoping  the ending would be different. Just felt flat of emotion. I'm sorry but this is only my opinion.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R11YCCY852WHSX?ASIN=014242417X	different	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I had never torn through a book in two days before, but this had me succeed into a new categories of reading speed.<br/>Like Hazel, I would love to see a sequel to a newly discovered all-time favorite. All though a total chick-flick put onto paper, you have to understand I have never cried at any of the books I have read before. This book was different though. It was touching, but not too full on puppy dying type of book you dread reading after you totally who is going to die and how they will die. If ever not sure why you should keep living on this earth, read this book. If ever not sure why you are lucky to be in health, read this book. If you are ever sick and need someone to relate to, read this book.<br/>To sum it up, although slightly predictable, it is certainly a more sophisticated read that will truly leave thinking. (I recommend turning on dictionary when you read this book. VERY USEFUL!)</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R103RV19HPCDSM?ASIN=014242417X	FUNNY, SAD, HEARTWARMING, INPIRING	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">What a treat! I enjoyed reading The Fault in our Stars for so many different reasons. The writing is brilliant. The dialogue is real and witty and poignant all at the same time. The story is not incredibly original in that there's a whole genre of YA books dedicated to the terminally-ill-star-cross lovers. What makes this story different and worthwhile are the voices of the characters, the imperfection of their personalities and the sheer acceptance of the notion that dying young sucks. John Green writes a story from the perspective of a terminally ill girl and succeeds at capturing her spirit. I found myself not caring as much about the plot of the story as about the people in it. I wanted to spend time with each of his characters and get to know them. I will read this book again, if anything, to spend a little more time savoring the language, understanding the details and visiting with old friends.</span>"

When I started to read Green's books, I was struck by the amount of emotional depth and meaning they held. Being a teenager myself, I felt that John Green really understood me (as cliche as that sounds). As I made my way through The Fault in Our Stars, I was blown away. Green's language, dark humor, and raw honesty created in me a love for this book which shall never cease. This book made me laugh, cry and everything in between. I have never before felt so attached to a book. Finishing the book wasn't easy, simply because I did not want to leave the universe that I had entered. I wanted to stay with the characters because they felt so life like. My outlook on life has been altered, and my perspective has been broadened. The Fault in Our Stars truly changed my life.</span>"

Since then her life has exsist of hospitals,  doctor appointments, testing and oxygen machines. Seeing Hazel slipping into depression, her mother urges her to attend a support group for kids with Cancer. This is where she meets the amazing Augustus Waters. An event that wakes her up and changes everything.<br/><br/>This is the second time reading TFIOS, and its just as heartbreaking as the first time I read it. The story of Hazel &amp; Augustus is beautiful, real and absolutely gut wrenching.  Once you start, you won't want to put it down. It will make you laugh and cry and then cry some more. John Green is a master storyteller and The Fault In Our Stars, so far is his best.  I'm always amazed how well he captures what its like and what it is to be a young adult. His characters are always real and true. A must read for all ages.</span>"

It has been many years since I have thought about the patients I was privileged enough to be present while they passed on to their next life. I saw young and old and they helped me to realize how precious life is.<br/><br/>Everyone wants to leave their mark in the world but for Hazel, she knows that being young and terminally ill, she will soon be forgotten when she dies. Then she meets a handsome young boy that had suffered from cancer and the two embark on an adventure that brings life to their short one.  They realize the impact they make only matters to the ones that truly live life with them and not around them.<br/><br/>The book ended exactly how I would imagine.  So no disappointments.  I just don't know how I feel about it.  Still processing. I couldn't put it down and read it in less than a day and a half.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1ZMKS7NNE0KSR?ASIN=014242417X	Incredibly Meaningful Book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">*Warning! Spoilers!*<br/><br/>This book was the most amazing, touching, devastating book I have ever read in my life. As soon as you meet Augustus Waters, you fall in love with him. I don't know how John Green does this, but as soon as Gus was introduced, he was already my favorite character. Both Gus and Hazel Grace slowly fall into a sweet relationship, but it's very complicated--at first--for Hazel, since she has lung cancer. However, this book takes the most heartbreaking turn of all books. I sobbed from that turning point until the very end and I literally could not stop crying. Although his comic relief is great, really great, it's not enough to cover up the sadness that this whole book demonstrates. And I never cry at books, so it was saying a lot that I literally sobbed. This review, I've realized, is becoming very repetitive, but maybe that's because this book was too good for words.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R191EDLQZIF2UE?ASIN=014242417X	Beautifully written	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Terminal cancer when you're 16, it sounds awful but somehow with John Green at the helm, it isn't. I loved, no, that isn't enough. I LOVVVVVVVED this book. Green is a master at emotionally connecting the reader with the characters.  The main characters, Hazel Grace &amp; Augustus Waters' wit, dark sense of humor and obvious love for one another makes it hard to put this book down. Fault is a touching love story about two people who meet unexpectedly at a *cancervania* (clever!) self help meeting and quickly find they do not want to live a life without one another, no matter the unavoidable outcome. It's a modern day Romeo and Juliet and I'm intrigued by this author and can't wait to read more from him. He's a fellow Hoosier to boot! Thank you for writing such a beautiful and touching novel. It's been quite some time since I read a book with a great ending and dude, you nailed it. Job well done.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3JSCOOKJAJ44U?ASIN=014242417X	Loved this book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars is an incredible story about a girl, her relationships with different people, and the sickness that life has handed to her. However, it’s also about so much more. John Green’s book really touched me on a personal level. The author emphasized living in the moment because you never really know when your last day will be. He doesn’t sugar coat anything, but rather tells it how it is. I believe he wants to get across that its not about how long you live, but it’s what you do during the time you live, and the different lives you touch that ultimately matter. This book is technically written for young adults but I feel like this is one of those books that would definitely be suitable for all ages, especially because of the message it tries to portray. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is looking for something that will possibly give them some perspective on life.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R395GW18PE6NVP?ASIN=014242417X	Great book.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">To be honest i was a bit worried about this book, I had been disappointed with Green`s first book Looking for Alaska (It was good but I felt every one of my 23 years. It is definitely aimed at a younger audience and it just had too much sex, drinking and swearing for me) However this is definitely of of those books that crosses over ages. I feel like a teenager would enjoy it, the language is complex and as a prospective English teacher I love that it is not watered down. Even I had to think for a min about some of the words meaning. The story makes you think and is of a serious nature (life, death, cancer, love)but it still makes you laugh. I feel like the story has a different dynamic for me because I am a parent and I can identify with the parents as well as the main characters,  I would highly recommend this book to older teens and adults alike, best book i have read in quite a while.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R21QKLJPMSDN4O?ASIN=014242417X	Tragically beautiful story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I really enjoyed The Fault in Our Stars! For Green to be writing a 16 year old girl as well as he did -- I applaud him for that. Obviously Hazel isn't a 'typical' teenager, but still.<br/><br/>This book was beautifully written and I felt like I was on an emotional roller coaster along with the characters. I adore the main characters, Hazel and Augustus, and their back-and-forth dialogue and sincere interactions. To tackle things like cancer and loss with as much tactful humor as John Green did... I loved. It was a heartbreaking read about the devastating and terrible effects of cancer, but to 'lighten' the content a bit with incredibly likable characters who did not just BECOME their cancer... it was well done. The cancer consumed their lives in every way, but it did not DEFINE them.<br/><br/>Bottom line: I laughed, I cried... I loved it. I'd highly recommend this book. Just read it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R15JLN87VS0IXJ?ASIN=014242417X	O. M. G.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book. Where should I start? I heard really good things about this book, but I was still apprehensive about reading it because I'm more of an action/ fiction kinda girl. I'm never really in to realistic fiction. But this book blew me away. This book gave me a whole new perspective on life and its value. I finished this book the same day a mass school shooting happened just ten miles from me. Little children had their lives ripped from their hands and the whole country felt the grief. It was the second worst school shooting in history. All of this made me think about how easily that could have been me or my brother or my best friend. Then, when I finished this book,  I realized that human life is a fragile thing. You need To value it. This book really changed my life. I would recommend it to anyone, even if they hated these types of books. {Oh, and BTW, I cried really hard at the end}</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1TSJSZ05YEGHR?ASIN=014242417X	Forever among the numbered pages...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">In a short, awesome book (206 pages in my Kindle), John Green has made a forever kind of impact.<br/><br/>Books and movies about the brevity of life and the meaning of death are usually emotional and place emphasis on love and relationships.  Well, this book is no different.  Death and its inevitability has a way of flushing out the temporal pleasures of wealth and achievement.  But the way the author weaved the story, built his characters, and the way he infused literary quotes amidst an international backdrop (well, Amsterdam at least) and violent stress-busting video games, makes this book a real gem.  The book heavily referenced within TFIOS, An Imperial Affliction, is a fictional book, but I have no doubt it would also be an excellent read, if John Green ever decides to pen it in its entirety.<br/><br/>Anyone, of any age or background, will enjoy this read.  Highly recommended.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R8YE5DMHC42WU?ASIN=014242417X	Katelyn Pipkin-Review of The Fault in Our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">John Green’s novel The Fault In Our Stars is one of the great love story that comes around only every so often but it also so much more then a teenage love story. John Green writes about the developing relationship of teenage cancer patient Hazel Grace and Augustus “Gus” Waters, an in remission cancer patient. Hazel and Augustus’s relationship as tragic and romantic as it is means so much more. It develops in such a realistic way that you can’t help but feel as if you know the characters. This John Green novel causes the reader to feel so many emotions that you begin to hate him for writing such a spectacular piece of literature. The Fault In Our Stars is a must read for anyone who is a hopeless romantic and is ready to let the tears start to falling from their eyes. The book has also become a motion picture and is coming out in theaters very soon so read it before seeing the movie!!!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3N9YJKXHJU34H?ASIN=014242417X	A Fantastic Read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">By turns moving and hilarious, John Green's novel is an instant classic. His prose is economical and descriptions are never terribly detailed but simultaneously it allows for stunning growth of the characters and an engrossing involvement of the reader. The story moves at a excellent pace that doesn't leave you breathless but instead leads you on comfortably.<br/><br/>The characters can be a bit hipster at times for my taste but beyond all of the phrases like ""my lungs suck at being lungs"", meant to make it painfully clear just how quirky and awesomely hip the characters are, lie very likeable and relateable characters that feel like your close friends by the end of the book. Indeed the characters become fully realized people with whom you empathize and about whom you truly care.<br/><br/>I cannot recommend this book enough. And at the Amazon price you can't beat the deal!</span>"

I did not want to be let down as so often happens with things that get such great hype. However, I was not let down, and this is a book I will cherish for years to come, if not for decades. I don't want to write anything specific for fear of spoiling, but it is heartbreaking and beautiful and life-affirming. Sometimes you read books and you can tell that the author didn't really give it their all, but it is very evident to me that John gave everything he had telling this story. Nothing about the story telling is lazy or disappointing. Not a single word feels wrong or out of place. As an adult, I want to encourage other adults to read this. It may be categorized as 'young adult', but great authors transcend labels and categories, and this book is much better written than most of the adult fiction I have read.</span>"

The price is the only thing that's held me back for so long. I finally stopped being cheap and bought it and let me say...It is worth EVERY last cent. Warning: You will cry. No matter how much you say you won't, you will. I tried so hard not to. Its just a heartbreaking story of life and love. John Green does an extremenly wonderful job of making you feel connected to the characters which makes this book so difficult to read. You'll love them, hate them, be annoyed by them, and feel for them. Its a sad story but Green somehow manages to make you laugh out loud at the perfect moments. You've been warned. This is a beautiful story and I reccomend it to anyone and everyone. Before you read it, you may want to get a new box of tissues and keep em close. You're gonna need them. Enjoy it, you won't be able to put it down!</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">First of all, let me start this by saying, I believe there are books written to entertain and there are books written to touch your soul. THE FAULT IN OUR STARS is a book that touches your soul. I'm kind of struggling with writing this review, because nothing I say is going to justify how absolutely amazing this book was. John Green's ability to have me laughing and sobbing in the same breath has blown me away. The subject matter of this book is bleak, but he still manages to infuse humor in the places you would least expect. This was, by far, the most beautifully written book I have ever read. As for the characters, Hazel and Augustus were my two favorite characters in a book. Ever. Witty and brave, when these two got together on a page, you couldn't help but smile. This is one that will break your heart, but it's worth every tear shed. THE FAULT IN OUR STARS is a must read!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RVJF4C2AE6VU3?ASIN=014242417X	Must Read Book!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This has easily become my favorite book of all time. Amazingly well written, poignant, and humorous, it's a thoughtful book that will appeal to both Young Adults and Adults, which is a rarity.<br/><br/>The characters and writing make this book stand out from the rest. John Green is clearly a master writer, who knows how to twist words and sentences into beautiful prose. The main protagonists, Hazel Grace and Gus Waters are characters that you will never forget. He depicted them so beautifully, that you feel like you know them and ache for them by the end of the book. And also, you will find yourself quoting all the memorable lines from the book, such as ""My thoughts are like the stars, which I cannot fathom into constellations.""<br/><br/>This book is required reading for EVERYONE who enjoys a good story. It reminds you of why you love reading in the first place.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">At first when I read the summary I thought it would be one of those stupid cliché books about two teenagers who fall in ""love"". If any of you readers out there are thinking about reading this book, but are having the same thoughts as I did...STOP THINKING. This book is so far fetched from a cliché teen romance. I have read every and I mean EVERY popular teen book out today (being a teenager and all) and no other book has moved me like this. Not even the end of the Hunger Games trilogy. I have never felt so strongly for any single book. I cried so hard for so long with this book that I had to put it down because I couldn't keep reading through the sting of my tears. Not only did I cry, but I LAUGHED and not just a chuckle. Books have never EVER made me cry so trust me when I say The Fault in Our Stars has taken me on an emotional rollercoaster that I will never stop riding.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3ULI27G90T0F5?ASIN=014242417X	I really loved this book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I really loved this book, except for one (kind of big for me) thing. First, I loved the prose and I loved the characters. I liked the way Gus called Hazel Hazel Grace, and I liked how mature they were. I think pain and disease would do that. Having watched my mom die of cancer, I liked how honest this book was. It wasn't afraid to talk about vomit, pee, falling down, and the stupid things people say. I really loved Peter Van-what's-his-name, who showed us that cancer hurts and destroys more than just its victims. But here's the big thing that bothered me. I just don't think 16 year olds, even those with cancer, are mature enough for sex. And when they went to Amsterdam, they hadn't even kissed yet. I guess Gus just carried around some condoms because he was optimistic? This could have been a perfect book. But throwing the sex in was just messy (and irresponsible.)</span>"
1.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1DQNLG4JLEFZH?ASIN=014242417X	Not what I thought	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I had heard of this book months ago, but wasn't sure I would care for it. It sounded depressing &amp; thought it might be exploiting cancer to sell books. It was actually well done though. It is a YA novel and reads like one. Not in a bad way, but just highlights some of the immaturity of the characters. They react as teenagers, not as adults, which is refreshing. It was very insightful in terms of giving you a better understanding of those living with cancer or other terminal diseases. It didn't do it in a preachy way, but pointed out how we deal with people with cancer individually and as a society. And how it feels from the other side. The story was more about Hazel &amp; Augustus and their connection, friendship and love. There were a couple of parts that seemed far fetched, but it is a story and it was related to the plot. I enjoyed the book and would recommend it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2BP0F99SXOIZ6?ASIN=014242417X	A very sweet and sad book.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I was in the hospital a great deal as a kid (not cancer but it could kill you).I found the hospital parts of this book amazing for  a work of fiction, they captured the desperation without sounding so sad. I also loved the way he presented characters that were not the perfect trooper who takes it all with a smile. The smiling child with a serious disease is fiction created to make others feel better. The love story was perfect in a Romeo and Juliet kind of way but, it is not parents they are fighting it is cancer. The existential war within these lovers is amazing to read and central to the story. I know I had a very hard period 12-17, didn't we all, but when you think your life is going to be short it is acute. I loved this book for bringing to life the pain that kids should be able to suffer without the pressure to be a perfect spokes people for the disease.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2LPITSDX23ELM?ASIN=014242417X	Everyone should read this.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">John Green is going to be remembered as one of the greatest authors of our time. Mark my words.<br/><br/>Yes, this is technically a young adult book. Fortunately, John Green writes for young adults as they are, which is that they are capable of understanding and processing complicated emotions and situations, and dealing with them appropriately. They're teenagers, and thus use adult language and break rules, but are also not prone to temper tantrums (mostly) and flawed young people.<br/><br/>AFTER you read this book (not before), go read what John Green has to say about the novel and how he writes for young adults. His frankness and his respect for young people is something most people need to take note of.<br/><br/>That said, the story is well rounded, interesting, and heartbreakingly wonderful. Read with tissues. You'll need them between laughing fits.</span>"

I found myself thinking over and over again that kids that age just don't use those words or phrases or have discourse of that character.  So in my opinion, the author comes off a bit pedantic and the characters do not seem real, but rather just extensions of the authors intellect and ego.</span>"

I honestly do like the book better than the movie mainly because it has more detail than the movie. I honestly thought that Hazel would have died first, as her case was a bit more serious than Augustus', but when he told her about the PET scan, I really did cry. There were several parts in the book where I cried like I have never before. Realizing that Hazel and Augustus had a short time together, but from Hazel's point of view, made a short time sound like forever. I read a quote after the book and it made me realize where the title came from. I will quote it, ""And in the end, we can blame the stars or tell ourselves that it wasn't meant to be, that it wasn't destined to happen but deep down we know that the stars were not at fault and it wasn't ""meant to be"". The fault was in ourselves."" Over all I highly recommend this book.</span>"

I'm happy because its the best book i have ever read in my whole life. but I'm sad because i really want to read it again, but if i read it again, it won't be the same. i won't get to experience it the same way. so all i can say is read this book.</span>"

Now you know and can be an informed reader of this review.<br/><br/>The Fault in Our Stars vividly and unapologetically does away with the Cancer Kid stereotype, and does it with a realism that can only come from someone who has an intimate knowledge of cancer and what it does to a person.<br/><br/>John makes you care about the characters as if they were your best friends, and then takes them to the highest and lowest of possible places, bringing your emotions along. I cried for about four hours while reading this book, and when I wasn't crying, I was laughing so hard that I was crying. However, it never seemed as though the humor was only there for comic relief. It was always just what anyone would say or do in such a moment.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2VQ8DTSK4FCDP?ASIN=014242417X	Will become a classic!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I really don't know if there are words to describe how I feel about this book.<br/><br/>This book...  This book...<br/><br/>Left me breathless.<br/><br/>I really had to ponder if I was reading about fictional characters or if I had really somehow ended up inside the head of a cancer infected teenage girl, in love with a cancer infected teenage boy.  I really don't know if I've ever read a book that had better ""voice"" to it.  It was honest, brutal, and real.<br/><br/>I really don't think there is any more I can say about it.  I will not be surprised if this is my favorite book of 2012, an we're only in February.  I wasn't planning on picking up this book, I'm VERY picky about what contemporary YA I read, but when I saw what good reviews it's gotten I couldn't help it.  This is one of those books that really does live up to its hype.<br/><br/>GO.  READ.  THIS.  BOOK.  NOW!<br/><br/>5 out of 5 stars!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1B0AWYVKHB6ND?ASIN=014242417X	Speechless... just speechless (No Spoilers)	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I was literally speechless when I finished this book. I thought for a while about what I might say in a review, because I was so incredibly moved by this story.<br/><br/>If you are considering reading this book, don't be afraid of it. I was. I thought for a few days before I downloaded. I was leery of reading a book about kids with terminal cancer. I'm so glad I didn't let my fear keep me from reading this book.  You see, this book is not so much about dying as it is about LIVING. So many passages moved me... Gus referring to cancer as a ""civil war"" with predetermined winner... Hazel saying she'd trade all the sick days she had left for a few healthy ones... and so many others made me really stop and think about how a cancer patient truly looks at life.<br/><br/>This book broke my heart, but in a beautiful way.  I'm so so glad I read it.<br/><br/>5 VERY ENTHUSIASTIC stars.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R15B5XDUWBWCJ7?ASIN=014242417X	Wanna an absoutley fantastic solo book? JOHN GREEN IS THE MAN FOR YOU!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in our Stars..... What can I say about this FANTASTIC book? One of the best of 2012 I can tell you that! This is John Green's 4th solo book and I have read 3/4 of his books. All I can say about Mr. Green is that he is surely one of the best authors of our generation. This book is about a 16 year old girl who is a survivor of Type 4 Thyroid cancer and it has spread to her lungs. Hazel , just wants everyone to accept that we are ALL gonna die. Until she meets Augustus Waters that is , a sexy , funny 17 year old , who himself osteosarcoma( common to bone cancer). They experience some crazy stuff together. The stuff teenagers experience , but so much more pure and pulling at your heart. If you want a fantastic read that gives you all the emotions, PLEASE I beg of you pick up John Green's The Fault in our Stars. You will surely not regret it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3A4JVOCSV3AP1?ASIN=014242417X	Simply one of the BEST	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I have read many books before and after this book and none have yet topped this coming of age romance by John Green. The main character, Hazel, is a more realistic cancer patient who doesn't sugar coat the complications of her stage 4 thyroid cancer. Then, Augustus Waters comes along and he is an in remission cancer patient who is sweet, charming, hilarious, and heartfelt. Their love story is a different twist on your typical YA romance novel, which sticks out in the genre. This story made me look at life in a different way after I read it. It taught me to cherish what I have because anything and everything can change in an instant. This book will always be one of the best. If you are ever considering reading this book, READ IT! This book is a masterpiece of modern literature and everyone should experience this astounding novel of love and loss.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R6CM4T5F5WDED?ASIN=014242417X	One of the only teenage girls who can't stand this book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">It's sad to say, but this book is completely overrated. :c After reading some reviews I expected to learn something meaningful, and have my heart smashed to tiny lil pieces...yeah that didn't happen &gt;_&lt; John Green tried WAY to hard to make this a deep book, that it's ridiculous. I laughed at how unrealistic Hazel and Augustus are, they're not even human they're more like robots programmed to say the cheesiest things ever cx and spoiler but once Augustus was introduced in the book, it's pretty clear he was gunna die -.- ( which brings me to another point for an author who tries to make everything philosophical and meaningful, Augustus' death was so rushed, I don't understand how anyone could cry) Anywho I'm in the minority here, since it seems like most people here LOVE this book, so if you read it you most likely will like it, I guess.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3RS5OSGNS52HT?ASIN=014242417X	I would give this more stars if I could	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars is truly a brilliant novel. As a teen, I have read many other books consisting vampires, werewolves, angles, and other fictional ideas. I was starting to get annoyed and frustrated at the fact that almost every teen book you pick up has some sort of magical story hidden within.<br/><br/>In the 5 hour journey of reading the Fault in Our Stars, I was laughing hysterically, incredibly confused, and, most of all, crying my heart out. John Green has a way of ripping your heart out and placing it back in the wrong way. I fell in love with all the characters immediately.<br/><br/>Despite your age, go on this incredible journey with Hazel, Augustus, Isaac, and experience something that will possibly change your life.<br/><br/>I don't really know what else to say. My thoughts are stars I can't fathom into constellations. ;)</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R5OEVXBR8QR1H?ASIN=014242417X	I loved it	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is a very well written book, that makes you appreciate the small things in life, because we all know that nothing lasts forever. John's books are truly inspiring. From the two of his books that I have read, there have been deaths. And the other character never gave up, no matter how much they wanted to. And I feel like everyone has grown up wanting to leave a mark on the world, I don't remember when, but I stopped, and I never knew why. Now I realize the truth in what John Green has said, and I don't want to leave any scars. Yes I realize that death is inevitable, and that so is the leaving of scars. So I guess the only thing to do is to make it worth it. It's easier to bear the pain if you believe that it was worth it. And when people read my comment they will find many flaws in what I believe, but our faults make us unique.<br/>-ks</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1ZVX0HIUJEWGP?ASIN=014242417X	This book was amazing!!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is easily the best book I have read in a long time. The first time I read it as a borrowed copy from a friend, and then I had to go out and buy my own. Everyone I know who has read it cried while reading it. That's one of the reasons I like this book so much. It causes you to feel very strobgly about the characters, and it does have real world connectiong to it. I also really like that the part you cry it can be your own. There isn't a specific part of this book that you're supposed to cry at. You cry when you cry and you laugh when you laugh, so when you read this book you can make it your own. It's also a thinking book, once you put it down or finish it, it causes you to think afterwards. I love this book so much (present tense)!! If you are considering this book I highly reccomend you go for it! You will not be dissapointed!!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RZKOW7VFC3C10?ASIN=014242417X	Worth it	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I always approach a new book with a sense of trepidation, particularly when the author is one that I am fond of. There's always the fear that this new book won't live up to my expectations, and then what? And, for the first chapter or so, this concern was not completely washed away. Sure, it was good, but was it ~really~ going to be better than Looking for Alaska, the way it had been hyped up to be? It didn't seem so, at first.<br/><br/>Still, it wasn't long before the writing settled into place and the characters began to take on sympathetic lives. I think John Green did what he set out to do--create a book about cancer, but not about cancer; write a story where the characters were not glorified as noble sufferers, but as people who are just as scared and lonely as anyone would be in their place. True to fashion, he wove humor amongst even the darker hours; he presented metaphors that were perhaps not in the grand literary fashion, but were honest to the human condition; he reminded readers that perhaps our heroes are not all we have idealized them to be.<br/><br/>I admit. I cried. I cried hard, but not for the characters in the book---I cried because the story found within it spoke to the reality of life; the reality that this could happen even to the person I care about most. I would confidently recommend this book to anyone, young or old, as a read that will engage both mind and emotion on a journey that leaves you not with a sense of loss, but rather a feeling of personal gain for having read it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1S5QK9QUBQ8C7?ASIN=014242417X	made me sob so much but I still loved it!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I don't want to give away anything but basically the fault in our stars is about two teens in love, but they know their time is short because of cancer. I started reading this book Yesterday evening, and being the kind of 13 year old book worm I am, I didn't stop reading until I finished....at 1:30 in the morning. And I don't usually cry over fiction but this book made me sob into my pillow for the last like 7 chapters or so ( and i had to be very quite because my parents were asleep and I didn't want to wake them). This is gonna sound cheesy but after I finished, I kind of started thinking of the world differently. It really opened me up to the struggle cancer victims go through. This was one of the best books I have ever read and if you are debating on whether or not you should read TFIOS i strongly suggest you do. You won't regret it!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1MZU2VI2TOKLU?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in Our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I have cried in several books including Nicholas Sparks.  I had a feeling tears would come with the characters of this book having cancer.  This was a beautiful touching romantic lovely humorous story.  I felt a bit dumb at some of the words and conversations in this book, but maybe the words were made up more than actual.  I loved how well written Hazel, Augustus, and Isaac all are throughout this story.  I was drawn into this story so easily and couldn't let go till the very last page.  The ending was beautiful.  LOVE LOVE LOVE this book, I am not sure I can make it thru the movie, there is something about reading this kind of story then knowing the movie is going to replay it all.  And I am happy my daughter wants to read this book.  She isn't too into reading but I will encourage her to read more like her mom.  Thank you John Green.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1R6VRKWZAC33E?ASIN=014242417X	Couldn't put it down	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Wow, I am almost speechless. I really don't want to do a review since I don't think I can do it justice. I'll give it a shot though. I got this book as a gift. A friend of mine said it was a great read, and he couldn't put it down. So he bought me a copy and told me to read it. I did! and Wow!! My breath was taken away, I cried, I laughed out loud, I cried, I wanted to throw the book (if it wasn't a Kindle copy) across the room, I yelled at the characters for being stupid!! I felt like I was a ghost along for a ride with the characters. I was on a whirlwind with this book. I think it was due to the fact the subject matter hit close to home and I honestly felt for the characters. From the very beginning, I was entranced with this book. It drew me in and wouldn't let me go til I was done. So thank you my friend for giving me this gift!!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RY9TF3O94YFZS?ASIN=014242417X	BEYOND EXPECTATIONS	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars allows you to revisit that young adult mind, with its insightful portrayal of the main characters. I started reading this book and was enthralled and reading into the wee hours of the morning. I have never felt so heartbroken for characters before and I am okay  to admit that I was unable to stop the tears and sobbing and felt so compelled to finish the story as I felt I needed, no I owed it to the characters to finish this story for them. Its about a love and a friendship so pure and true you can't help but continue to think about them after the story has  finished. John Green has written a beautiful tragic story that shows life in all its reality. I would gladly, singing from the roof tops praise and recommend this book! Even now starting my work day, my mind is still wrapped around these character's stories!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3QO460A68ZGLJ?ASIN=014242417X	Great book, even for adults.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I was rather skeptical of reading this book when I arrived at a bookstore to take a look at it. The customer service worker told me I could find it in the ""Teen Section"" of the store. That put me off and I left without buying it. I eventually kept hearing great things about this book and decided to purchase it.<br/><br/>This book was GREAT! Easy read and tear-jerker. (DAMN YOU JOHN GREEN!)<br/>Luckily, I read most of this book in the comfort of my own home, so I didn't have any embarrassing moments being that random person crying in the park reading teenage-some book.<br/><br/>Overall, this book is written in a relatable way, suspending your willingness of disbelief.<br/>The characters can easily be someone you can imagine being friends with...<br/><br/>I highly recommend buying this book.<br/>No seriously, buy it.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1UWFBW78CICS9?ASIN=014242417X	An Absolute Masterpiece	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I have never written a review before in here, but I chose to do one for this book. This book is more than a book. I am the kind of reader who finds a deeper meaning and comprehends every sentence. It is more than a love story and it is more than a cancer story. It doesn't have a happy ending where Hazel beats cancer and her and Augustus live happily ever after. And for that reason it makes this book all the better. John Green did a wonderous job of showing us that life isn't always going to have a happy ending, but rather have happy things happen throughout our life. It also shows us that no matter what we go through, we will have people to help us get through and we just have to keep fighting. Life is just one big fight to get through. Like I said, this wasn't a love story and this wasn't a cancer story. It's a lot more than that</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2YAWBRR374V0L?ASIN=014242417X	Completely, 100%, Amazing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is one of those books that should be on everybody's ""100-books-to-read-before-you-die""list's. It's so beautifully depressing (I don't know how else to put it). It makes you reflect on who you are, and it makes you think about who you want to be.<br/><br/>Teenager's will be able to relate to it, and adults will no doubt love it, as well.<br/><br/>However, if you don't enjoy things that will make you sad, then don't read it. A little spoiler alert: it will make you sad. Very, very, sad. Aka, it will make you cry so much that you won't be able to read, and you need 10 minutes to calm yourself down before you can continue. And then you read more, and then you cry more... it's one of those never ending cycles.<br/><br/>However, despite the fact that it is so sad, you should read it.<br/><br/>Beautifully depressing, indeed.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2ZOFEQ21BEGZY?ASIN=014242417X	Profound and Moving	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is one of the best books I've read in some time.  John Green's channeling of a very bright 16-year-old girl is believable and engaging, and his humor highly entertaining.  The story tugs at my heartstrings, of course, and prompts me to think about death and dying from the perspective of kids with terminal cancer who mostly do not live past their teens. More than that, the book focuses on the meaning of life, what we leave behind, whether or not we make a mark in the world, and does it matter?  We are drawn into the everyday pain and challenges these terminal kids face, as well as their parents who must deal with the reality of losing their children and find ways to cope.  The story is brave and honest and real and so well-written that I can't help but love the characters and experience their joys and sorrows along with them.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">There isn't much I can say about this book that hasn't already been said...I haven't cried so hard from a book since I read 'My Sisters Keeper' . 'The Fault in Our Stars' is heartbreaking, thought provoking, smart, and just so DARN GOOD it takes your breath away. Everything you feel in a great book you will feel here.<br/><br/>I feel raw and BLEEDING after reading it...I look around at other people and wonder how the heck they can't feel what I AM feeling from this story. Augustus and Hazel will stay with me...and when I think of them my chest will tighten a bit. But like Augustus said ""that the thing about about pain, it demands to be felt."" I wouldn't have it any other way, I CHOOSE to let this book break me a little bit, so I can be filled back up with raw passion of it.<br/><br/>Read it, and you will know what I mean...</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RW6FNR4PHTK0Z?ASIN=014242417X	Fault in The Stars WHAT?	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This was a really good story and written very well. I really liked it but I didn't love it! There was a lot of hype with this one and I don't feel that it lived up to it.<br/><br/>Hazel Grace Lancaster is dying of cancer and goes to her weekly Cancer Kid Support Group where she meets Augustus (Gus) Waters and they develop a kindred friendship right away.<br/><br/>Hazel Grace had already written her life story, but everything changes when Gus comes into her life. She is now more active and taking advantage to what life she has left as a teen. This is her story and how her views differ from the norm.<br/><br/>This book deals with life and death and the life of cancer. It was well written and I think John Green is a fantastic author. Even though I didn't love this story, I would be willing to read another one of his books.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RKRJRRZJ7Y9GD?ASIN=014242417X	Don't read the spoilers.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I just got out of the hospital, and just got off all the antibiotics, drugs, and vast quantities of potassium. So of course now that my mind wasn't being completely addled and ridiculous I decide to start reading again. This book is everywhere, but it's a good book so it's deserved. To me it came across as slightly pretentious and a little over-rated mostly because quotes and snippets of the best parts in the book are pasted every w here for people to read out of context and not fully appreciate. At the saga and time this book was heartbreaking and hilarious. Maybe I am slightly biased because of how much it  resonated with me (except my distinct lack of cancer), but I feel like this is a book that deserves to be honestly read. This is a book that should be read with very little foreknowledge and a vast amount of immersion.</span>"

I had heard a lot about it but hadn't bought it until 3/25/13 and lets just say it was finished before the 26th. The way it's written is great it felt so real like I was part of it. Everyone should read it because it's relatable. I recommended it to one of my friends and now she loves it. Props to John Green for being such a talented writer. One thing I really want to know is; Will there be a sequel? I want to know what happened to Hazel's family and Issac and Augustus's family. This is petty but what happened to Van Houten? I would love to see a sequel come out, I'd buy it in a heartbeat. This book made me laugh and cry and sometimes at the same time! I will never find a book as great as this one! If you are debating reading it, well, ha! there's nothing to debate. Just read it!</span>"

I had to read more. I finally finished. I'm sad I finished actually. I wish it was more of an ending that left you knowing what happens to everyone. This must have been the feeling they always felt about the book they finally finished. It seems ironic that John green would put a writer in the story that did precisely what he did and leave us wondering why and yet I'm not mad or sad, I'm longing to know and I guess that's the great thing about this book, you will forever remember it as the book that made an impact. And yes while John green made a scar it is a scar that I many won't forget but I must say, I don't regret it at all</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R12F1WI8QWSY1K?ASIN=014242417X	Breathtaking...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read this reluctantly and solely because of its 7-week lofty position on the NY Times bestseller list.<br/><br/>I am not a fan of 'young adult', but John Boyne's 'The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas' changed my views. Around the time it came out and the ensuing hullabaloo, I resisted reading, but had to when I was asked to give a talk on Writing and 'The Boy...' in a local school. I was blown away by the story and never before or since have I come across such a powerful ending.<br/><br/>'The Fault in our Stars' is the story of a doomed love affair between two teenagers who have terminal cancer. It encompasses all the awkward newness of first love, is beautifully written, heartbreaking and elevating at the same time.<br/><br/>I believe I am hooked on 'Young Adult' fiction which has the power to cross into mainstream!</span>"

This was book was amazing, funny, heart-wrenching, and nearly un-putdownable. I loved it. There may have been tears. It was wonderful and moving.<br/><br/>I could sit here and continue to gush-goodness knows I've done it enough to my friends. I'll leave you with this: I don't get emotional with books. I love books and become invested, but rarely do they move to me to laugh out loud or shed any tears. I'm not a crier with either books or films. However, this did both. I laughed out loud, and I welled a bit, because I was so invested in the characters.

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R25M56F4J2NX0F?ASIN=014242417X	I loved this book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I got into it from the beginning and could not put it down.  The very adult dialog of the teens threw me off at first but I realized that their circumstances caused them to face adult issues very early.  Hazel and Gus were the main characters and although you knew the eventual outcome, the journey to that outcome kept them and the reader going.  The  character of the european author was more poorly developed and written, but did not detract from the story.  I recommended this to my husband who agreed with this review except to add that the boy who lost his sight was his favorite character.<br/><br/>My confusion and disagreement is with Amazon's genre characterization of this book as a Young Adult book.  We are two very adult readers who did not find this a youth oriented book, except for the age of the characters.</span>"

When adults question the credibility and sincerity of a teenager's romantic love, we doubt because of bitterness and perhaps, being burned too many times in the past.  But we have much to learn from their way of falling in love without fear and without holding back.  That is, perhaps, how we should fall in love each and every time...as if it was the very first.  Thank you for reminding us, Hazel and Augustus.<br/>I cried in 3 different parts of this book.  I had a hard time closing the book because I didn't want the story to end.  I got so attached to the characters.  yes, even van Houten.<br/>This book is definitely in my TOP 5 books of all time - up there with The Kite Runner, Memoirs of a Geisha, 11/22/1963 and The Help.<br/><br/>BRAVO, John Green!</span>"

Thought provokingly good....and perhaps it's where I am at in my own life that I enjoyed it so much.... It's a look at Sunday through Saturday of a persons deteriorating life...

John Green. Compelling, accessible yet not afraid to take on a subject like teens dying of cancer without sentimentality or cheap ploys for sympathy, The Fault in Our Stars is incredibly funny and many-tissues sad, but it never wallows. As a cancer survivor, it felt refreshingly honest and (I would say dead-on, but that sounds like a pun in really poor taste), but I think it would have been just as meaningful if I didn't unfortunately have first-person knowledge of what he's talking about. He's created such wonderful characters and a story of that first and perhaps only true love (including even the love of that very favorite book when you're a teen). Even though I'm a ""grown-up"" I now plan to read all of his books--what a great discovery.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R27G1307S6T95K?ASIN=014242417X	The greatest book in the world	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I don't usually read books like this I usually read book more along the line of the Immortal Instruments. So when I read this book I didn't really expect to enjoy it that much I just needed to read it for my summer reading. I had read a few reviews for the Fault in Our Stars before reading the actual book and I thought oh it's just another live story type thing (like dear John, The Notebook) but it was so much more then a love story. I found myself actually in Hazel's shoes experiencing everything as if I was Hazel herself. By the time the I finished the book I had laughed, felt true love, guilty for having eyes, crying my eyes out, and most of all I felt pure pleasure in saying I found my Imperial Affliction. I promise this book is no let down! I will more than likely read this book over and over again.</span>"

I'm a reader. I love to read and have read many many books, this has to be at the top of my list as one of the most amazing books I've ever read. Books, for me, have the ability to completely change/alter my outlook on life. This book just did that. It was so well written, characters were well developed, I fell in love with them.<br/><br/>The summary says grab a box of tissues, and that's no joke. I laughed, I sobbed, I feel like such a mixed bag of emotions I don't even know how to explain it. All I can say is this is a book I will recommend to everyone and anyone and one I will re-read over and over.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3W46QJ9I095VL?ASIN=014242417X	Cried like a baby	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">If Amazon would let us give half-stars, this would actually be a 4.5. I'm just very picky about those 5-star ratings.<br/><br/>Everything about this book was beautiful. Well, except for the kids having cancer, of course, but Mr. Green even managed to turn that into something beautiful by giving these kids such amazing perspectives on life, on love, on loss, on humanity. At the risk of sounding cliché, Hazel and Gus (and Isaac too) are those kind of people who, just by knowing them, make your life more interesting. And even though they are just characters in a book, I'm glad that I got to spend a few hours with them.<br/><br/>There was a point in the book, about 3/4 through it, that I cried like a baby and just.could.not.stop. So brace yourself, don't read it in public, and have some tissues ready.</span>"

I had first heard of the book The Fault in Our Stars from my Aussie friend Alice. She showed it to the class, but I was too busy reading another book to listen! I recently heard the movie for The Fault in Our Stars is coming to theaters June sixth, so I decided that it was time to read the book. Being only in sixth grade, most of my friends had read the book and thought it was ""inappropriate"" for us. But being the bold one in the group, I didn't really care what John Green had for them. I cared what he had for me. Being a fangirl of many fandoms, I say to my fellow fangirls, there was J.K Rowling, Rick Riordan, Suzanne Collins, etc.,so now we must add the name of John Green to our long list of amazing authors! Huzzah!!!!!</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R25G6EMD3EQAI2?ASIN=014242417X	A Simply Beautiful Story...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I write very few reviews but this book deserves every five star review and then some.  I found it to be a beautiful story.  When so much of what we read, hear, see, and watch is extravagent and looking to top the thing before it, this book finds brilliance in simplicity.  This story is anything but extravagent and is a story of characters, life, raw emotion, and love. Although I state simplicity, there is a great deal to analyze and discuss through the layers of complexity in this novel.  John Green, not only makes you ache for these characters, but he makes you miss them when the book is over and they are no longer a part of your life.  I hope that the acclaim this book is receiving continues and opens our eyes to the true artistry of writing.  Our world needs more art and culture like this novel.</span>"

I love the characters, really care about them like I haven't been able to since… maybe, since ever.<br/><br/>I knew it couldn't end in a fairy tale, and I wanted to stop in so many places so I could just remember them as they are, their selves in a snapshot I could glance at in my mind from time to time and just wonder, without having to know.<br/><br/>It has been over a week since I finished the book. Took me about a week to savor… stop and start reading. I invested small portions of time and was still so involved with them each time I sat down.<br/><br/>I am looking forward to reading the author's other stories.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3JYV9JJEF5W29?ASIN=014242417X	A touching realistic tale that will leave you emotional.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I started reading this title as I had heard from numerous people that it was excellent. I was also intrigued to read it because of the upcoming movie. I have to say that the book lived up to my expectations. I was drawn in from page 1 with Green's realistic style of writing and in your face truth about all situations in this book.<br/><br/>The Fault in Our Stars is filled with a realistic/truthful storyline, suspense, and twists. Green does a great job of getting you connected and vested in the characters. You really feel as if you are part of their journeys. Speaking from personal family experience with this subject matter (cancer) Green's writing was very true to life and the perils and triumphs that families face in the battles with cancer. A touching emotional read that you can't miss.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RVAH6ITQ8OPZ0?ASIN=014242417X	Amazingly Superb!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Absolutely love this book!! I laughed, I cried. I laughed until I cried. It's so beyond what I was expecting. After reading numerous reviews about this book on blogs, I finally caved and bought it. Best thing I've ever done. Well, book buying wise.<br/><br/>The seriousness of Hazel's illness threw me off track of the obvious. (I shall not spoil) I cried and cried because this book is heartbreaking, but yet so much more. It's about life and death, love and happiness, family and friends.<br/><br/>This is the second John Green book I've read. Once again, he pulled me in and made me think hard. Forget about everything but this book. That in itself, is genius. I'd recommend this book for anyone to read. This is not just a YA novel, it's every genre. Worth every second of your time and money.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2984SJCK81EJ8?ASIN=014242417X	Never Cried So Much	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I love all of John Green's work and truly admire him as a person. But I was still surprised by how hard this book hit me.<br/><br/>The Fault in Our Stars is not a happy book. It has happy moments, but there is this sense of tragedy that you just can't seem to shake. John Green's words pick you up and pull you in, past the intelligent dialogue and witticisms, to show you just how it feels to be dying and trying to live despite it.<br/><br/>I cried continuously from page 99 onwards. I started reading the second I unboxed the book, and put it down only once, when I realised that I wasn't going to stop crying and should probably fetch my jumbo box of tissues.<br/><br/>The sadness is unavoidable, but the story is so worth the tears. It is hauntingly real and beautifully insightful. This book will stay with you forever.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RM1FVB84GIBUA?ASIN=014242417X	A few notes I have to say,	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">For one, I am not a realistic fiction reader. Especially teenage realistic fiction. In fact, I tend to stay away from it like it has the black plague. Because, most of the time, it's boring, tedious, and over dramatic to points it makes me sick.<br/>That being said, this is not that case.<br/>This book, is personally a favorite now. I loved it to pieces, and it was just..real.<br/>I've never even read any other books from this author, (Although I should, since we live in the same state. Have to show support, you know?) but his style completely caught me off guard. It's personally new to me, and I don't know if I'm the only one. I think it's mostly just because I've had my head in fantasy books for too long.<br/><br/>This book is one of a kind. I recommend it to teenagers, and adults.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2IV9R36JWN70P?ASIN=014242417X	A worthy read...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This story is about young adults with cancer, and much more.  The main characters, Hazel Grace Lancaster 16 and  a three-year stage IV-cancer survivor and  Augustus Waters 17, also a cancer survivor, meet at a cancer support group and have an instant connection. We follow these two and the people around them as they get to know each other and deal not only with their illness, and how everyone around them is also dealing with it. The story is well written, with a common interest bringing them together, and propelling them on a journey of discovery. The author gives us a view into not only the complicated issues of their illnesses but also into the joy of discovering one another, as normal teenagers would.<br/>This is the first book I have read by the author, but will not be my last.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R72DZJ4N2D0R?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault In Our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Oh John Green you have amazed me yet again. Not once with Looking For Alaska but now twice with The Fault In Our Stars! I connected with theses characters on a deeper level. More than any character I've ever connected with in a story. I felt I followed them every where. That the were my friends in a nonfictional setting. I know these characters aren't of existence but my oh my do I wish they were. Hazel and Augustus's love is on a deeper level than I'm sure one would have been in the real world but it was still a magical feeling watching young ""cancer survivors"" fall head over heels in love with each other. I could not imagine the end of this book and when it came I felt a whole sadness wash over me like life just ended and for some it has...hint hint. Oh John Green write me more!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R38T1KBQS1Q2TL?ASIN=014242417X	If you love the opening pages, you'll be hooked.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">How can you not be pulled into a book where, from the first word, you are laughing so hard you are crying? Or is that crying so hard you're laughing? Both apply here.<br/><br/>At first glance...yes. Seems maudlin, maybe. And yes, so brilliant.<br/><br/>This is John Greene: he will make you laugh and cry and search your soul and find corners of yourself that you did not know existed. Don't come to this table wanting the Happily Ever After bubble. There are other books for that. But they won't make you laugh as hard. Like belly-pain laughter. And they won't change the way you see the world.<br/><br/>Those HEA books are safe. This is not safe. But it is infinitely more rewarding.<br/><br/>Even if you've lost friends like this.<br/>Especially if you've lost friends like this.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R6M12BOIBU2BF?ASIN=014242417X	Love this book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I have literally read some parts of this book aloud to my friend and started crying because I remembered what Hazel went through and the way that Augustus says ""Hazel Grace."" It's not my favourite book of all time, but it's up there because I really, really, really like it. It asks a lot of deep questions that makes me think and creates a narrative that I find myself engaging in.<br/><br/>I really respect what John Green did in his book and I love the characters. The truths in this book on life and death are blunt but altogether very justified and beautiful.<br/><br/>Loved the ideas. Loved the story. Loved the love. Loved Hazel Grace. Loved Augustus Waters. Loved their deep conversations. Loved the ""Okay""s. Overall, loved this book and will continue to love it.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2XGRM9RVW2LMW?ASIN=014242417X	Wonderful <3	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is very heart touching and emotional, which I love in a book. If you don't laugh or cry while reading a book then you just haven't found the right book yet. And I think I've found the right book. This book tells the story of two teenagers with cancer, but this is not a cancer book. The Fault in Our Stars has changed my perspective on a lot of things. It taught me to look at things a whole new way. My mother read this book in 24 hours, when normally she wouldn't come near a book. Even if you aren't a reader, you'll fall in love with this amazing piece of literature. John Green has an outstanding writing ability, which you will learn. I strongly recommend reading this and more of Green's works of art.  Warning: Be prepared to sob uncontrollably while reading this novel.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2X2PP22M8FHD7?ASIN=014242417X	My An Imperial Infliction	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This novel is amazing I must say. It really gets you thinking about life,the reasons why we long to love and be love,to know and understand what is beyond us, and so on. This author did a great job of  making the reader(me) feel what each character was feeling. He gave me a vivid picture,some I did not want to see. No not because it was to graphic, but because it pushed me to levels of empathy I didn't even know i had. Yes you will cry while reading and I mean like there will be a flow of tears you will not be able to stop. There's nothing literary that I do not find pleasing in this book. The only thing that made me upset...we'll you are going to just have to read it to find out...The reason why I call this my An Imperial Infliction....when you read it you will understand why.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3A3YEJY4XK4M1?ASIN=014242417X	Novel hooks readers in first 30 pages	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read the first 30 pages, knew it was meant for a friend, so I passed it on to her (a voracious speed-reader), and then her daughter picked it up after she finished, and she took it home on the plane from Texas to Washington, DC.  Bought my 2nd copy, showed it to my daughter who is also in a book club, and she was hooked within 15 pages, so I'll finish the book once she gives it back.  Thank you to John Green for creating dialogue that sounds real, for sarcasm that makes readers laugh along with those whose illnesses are life threatening, for allowing hope to emerge in the worst circumstances.  I commend this book to anyone who wants a realistic entry into what it must be like to be terminally ill but still have the same feelings as those believing they are perfectly healthy.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3O7R90NG9K24H?ASIN=014242417X	This book is amazing.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Some books that I read, I can not get into that we'll because the writing style seems as though it is below my level. The Fault in Our Stars, thankfully, is perfectly written. It seemed as though I was living in the world that John Green so beautifully created. This book gave me the gift of tears and intense feelings that most movies simply can not. These words do not do this book enough justice and most likely no one will read this review, but if you do I just hope you take the chance to read the book that inspired it. I am not a cancer survivor, currently battling with cancer, nor has anyone I am very close to had cancer, but I feel as though this book portrays this sad world not seen by many perfectly. Enjoy this book. It is a wonderful treat I am glad to have experienced.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1U46MCT4US306?ASIN=014242417X	Indescribably brilliant	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">When this book was released there was a huge rave about the book and I never truly understood why... Until I read the book!<br/>  This book is pure genius it is well written, with a truly heart warming and gripping story. It is without a doubt the best book I have ever read!<br/>  The story tells of Hazel Grace a teenage girl living with cancer and it tells you of her love for Augustus Waters and speaks of her journey.<br/>  John green has produced a fantastic novel with this one!<br/>  I myself have never read a book more than once however, this shall be one of those books I will reach for throughout my entire life.<br/>  This book is a must read but be warned it is a very emotional book so if you leave the house with the book also leave with a pack of tissues at hand!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R7W2O8HNZ2MB0?ASIN=014242417X	Best book in the last decade....	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This story will break your heart and restore it many times, each with more savagery then the last. This was a much needed tale of hope and endurance, pain and love, and the way they all go hand in hand. Although this was categorized as a ""teen"" book, I wholeheartedly disagree, I am 44, and this has inspired me to see my life differently, to view every day a gift, no longer thinking of my age as a curse, but a gift. A tangible gift, that belongs to me and all who know and love me. From this day forward, I will miss Augustus and Hazel Grace, as if I knew them, because I did know them. No one who reads this book can finish it unaffected by the characters, their story. I've read hundreds of  books, maybe a thousand, but THIS ONE IS TRULY EXCECPTIONAL, definitely in my TOP 5.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3AL6F8OFLFJBB?ASIN=014242417X	My attempt to do this book justice	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book deserves so much more than I will ever be able to tell anyone. The way this book touched me is a way that no author has ever done before. The sheer reality and honesty this book shares with its readers is by far the most wonderful heart break I have ever had the pleasure of experiencing. This book allowed me to go on a journey with amazing people and experience love and loss, all while I was able to clutch on to a tissue as I felt for each character in this novel. Even if you aren't a fan of reading, I highly recommend that you allow Hazel Grace and Augustus Waters the chance to change your mind. This novel is more than that in my eyes. It's a window into the heart and mind of two young people who ""fell in love the way you fall asleep, slowly then all at once.""</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1O76YRGXYC6A8?ASIN=014242417X	Weepy but Lovely	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">My roommate couldn't finish this book because she said it felt like Green was just trying to make her cry. While it's true I did cry while reading this in multiple spots, I never felt manipulated into crying. It was so wonderfully written. I'm not one to read ""teenage cancer stories"" - which is apparently a real genre, not just one discussed in this book - but The Fault in Our Stars is definitely more than that. It's a love story. It's a story of a family's struggles. It's the story of hope and perseverance. It's the story of disappointments both large and small. It's a story about needing a real ending.<br/><br/>Be prepared to cry, for sure. But also be prepared to be shaken, to be happy, to get angry, to highlight almost every line for some nugget of wisdom.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1U7ZXHVDLB2G5?ASIN=014242417X	John Green you GENIUS, you.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">John Green's ""The Fault In Our Stars"" could possibly be the greatest book I have ever read on the face of the planet.  It's coming pretty close to Harry Potter, and that's seriously saying something!!  But I bought the book, and I'm currently re-reading it--over and over--like a mad woman.  And although it is gloriously written with intricate details and is incredible to all measure, it does turn you into an emotional wreck.  So I suggest, that if you do decide to read this brilliant piece of art, please be careful.  When you've finished it and refuse to see the light of day, and cry continuously on a never ending loop, clutching the book to your chest wondering if you'll ever stop hurting, know that you've been warned... But read it.  Please do.  You won't regret it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3LFA9LFTPWGIJ?ASIN=014242417X	wow, fascinating book!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is truly amazing, I love the way the writer wrote this novel in a form of an autobiography. I have grown very fond of Jack Green's books lately. I bought this book several days ago and I couldn't help but finish it, yes, it's that good! I wonder though, what happens to Hazel? does she die out of cancer or what? did the doctors finally find a cure to help her out? and what happens to Peter? does he die out of intoxication or does he finally write a sequel? this book is definitely one of my favorite books yet. If you are looking for a book that contains the story of ""two star-crossed"" lovers and their journey through life, then you should definitely give this book a read.<br/><br/>PS.

From the start, I could not put this book down. I read it in bed, in restaurants, and finally cried myself silly on an airplane(the person next to me surely believes I'm emotionally disturbed). Yet it was so gripping, so observant, so truthful and yet impossibly funny that I'm hoping it's not morbid of me to name my first child Gus, and then I immediately imagine the quip he'd respond to that with.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RXP5Y12FPBXGN?ASIN=014242417X	Shreds your heart	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">There are only two books that come to mind when I think of how much I enjoyed them AND how much I cried while reading them. The first one is Bridges of Madison County, the second, The Fault in Our Stars. Yes, the young people in this book are impossibly brilliant, as evidenced by their unlikely dialogue. But it doesn't matter, because the characters and story are so engaging and interesting, you just want to keep reading. The prose is well written, almost too well written, as I had to look up new vocabulary words fairly often. But I don't profess to be a genius and I like a book that challenges my intellect. This book is categorized as ""young adult fiction."" My young adult daughter encouraged me to read it and I'm glad I did. Just keep the tissues handy.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R15JKD0T6J1API?ASIN=014242417X	John Green Gets It Right	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault In Our Stars deals with two young cancer patients--and so much more.  It is about the love between parents and their children, love between teenagers, and love between friends. It is about the grief that precedes loss, and the grief that follows.  It is about thoughts of the possibility of immortality, and the possibility of annihilation.<br/><br/>In these and in so many other situations, John Green gets it right. In the last eighteen months, I have lost my father, mother, and husband to cancer.  Improbably, I have also fallen in love. Every few pages I was highlighting a line or a paragraph because the words expressed so precisely how I felt and what I thought.<br/><br/>No wonder Time Magazine chose The Fault in our Stars as its #1 novel of 2012!</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R794Q360AIH6N?ASIN=014242417X	Definitely not just for young readers!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I'm a 66-year-old-woman, happily married but with no children. Although this book is described as being for young adult readers, I think that's not entirely accurate. The existential questions about life, love, illness and death that are asked by these young characters and their acute observations (as well as those of their parents and the other adults in the book), make this an incredibly worthwhile read for anyone who has ever loved another human being. The sharp humor--some of it of the gallows variety--just adds to the richness of the experience. I simply adored this book from start to finish and can only wish I had met these marvelous young people in person. Do yourself a favor and get acquainted with characters you'll remember for a very, very long time.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1Z0IJO9FKZ3DX?ASIN=014242417X	Best Book I've Read in a While	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is just amazing. That one words sums it up but still does it no justice. I found out about this book and author through, sadly enough, One Direction blogs. I read reviews of this book being amazing, but still doubted it because only too often do I find myself reading a book that I find absolutely awful but everyone around me is in love with it. The problem with all the other 'amazing' books is that they're too simple. Their simplicity is boring. This book wasn't simple or boring. It actually told a story that meant something, not just 'okay here's a plot, let's write it down and publish it', but it was a story that actually spoke to me. It was as much of an emotional story as it was a physical story. So I would just like to say thank you John Green.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R8K1WTXMFU5E0?ASIN=014242417X	Absolutely Beautiful	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I am sure my fiance thinks I am a lunatic now that he sat next to me this weekend as I laughed, cried and blew my nose all in one breath. This book killed me. But that is ok, I chose for it to. This was a wonderful story, so full of life. Not the perfect, fairy tale mush. This was raw and real. When my friends recommended this book to me I asked, ""why would I ever want to read such a sad story?! After all, it's the whole reason I avoid Nicholas sparks!"" But after so much ranting and raving I finally took the leap and fell hard into the pages of this book and am so happy for it. Congratulations, John Green, you can now add another fan to your list. This book taught me so me so much, opened my eyes and put life into perspective. Read this. You won't regret it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R375DR5X2BCF0G?ASIN=014242417X	New favorite book of all time!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Okay, first I never write reviews on anything. This book is by far the best book I've read in a looonnnggg time. Its a bout a girl named Hazel, who has thyroid Cancer that spread to her lungs, she is view by her mom as depressed and is forced to go to Cancer support group. She meets Augustus Waters, heart throb, blue eyed beauty. He is instantly attracted to her. I don't want to give much a way, but I can say that this is my all time favorite book! This book is witty, romantic, heartbreaking, a feel good book. I read this book in one day, stayed up til 2 in the  morning finishing it. Had a good cry while reading this, one of those ugly cry's, the ones that you hope no one ever see. I would recommend this book to anybody, and everybody. Good job John Green.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1588AXLS1G6JB?ASIN=014242417X	For me is a flop	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Lured by such a widespread reader acclaim I selected this story<br/>It is about two American teenagers from Indiana, who are terminally ill with cancer, and fall in love after they meet in a Church Support Group. The author intended to make a moving tearful story, and throw a  philosophical debate with universal questions about love, life and death<br/>With the exception of a few pieces of wisdom, the rest of the book, was inconsequential. I was not moved, I did not find the main characters quite well developed; and saw the secondary somewhat ludicrous.<br/>After I finished the book, my mind was a total blank.<br/>Sometimes a good review reader rating does not guarantee that a book will suit your preferences and for me this is a crystal clear example</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RLM8CN0CZMCAI?ASIN=014242417X	No Fault in This Novel	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I have read this book twice, yet I am still astounded of how amazing John Green is at capturing the essence of love and loss. My grandfather died from cancer and my mother is battling cancer, a cancer I am likely to acquire before I turn 40 (I am 13) , and I must say that Mr. Green is so accurate on how people feel when they've been diagnosed and how people react because of a diagnosis and an imminent death. TFIOS is a beautiful book, written from the perspective of an unwillingly pitiful heroine who falls in love with an unwillingly pitiful, metaphorical boy who hides his vulnerability under his awesome wit. This book is a must read for those wanting a true representation of love and grief, and to those who aren't afraid to shed (a rainstorm of) tears.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RWGGVRZDL494?ASIN=014242417X	Hauntingly beautiful	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I was so skeptical about this book, chosen by my book club. I didn't want to read about cancer. I didn't want to be sad. But like teen pregnancy in the movie Juno, cancer doesn't seem to be the main point, but rather the instrument the writer uses to get you to understand so many other life lessons, philosophical notes, etc. I couldn't stop reading it - not because it was an easy beach read, but because it haunted me. I thought about the sentiments the characters discussed all the time. The topic seems sad, but I couldn't stop smiling at how beautiful it all was - from the rich story and understated, intelligent characters to the poignant quotes and layers of underlying thoughts. I can only hope that if I ever write a novel, it measures up to this one.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1HKIWLYCRFEIA?ASIN=014242417X	Great fast read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is a quick read, but a good one. John Green's story is about a teenage girl diagnosed with cancer who goes to a support group (for other teenagers with cancer) and manages to fall for a boy she meets there, despite her wishes to not even go the group in the first place. The pair quickly fall for one another and share an amazing adventure to add to their presumably short life stories, but it's really much more. They have accepted their prognosis's and together they learn how to reveal to their families the true meaning of living life beyond their diagnoses and being more, and having more. Wise beyond their years. You will laugh and you will cry, and perhaps you will see your everyday life just a little differently. Definitely worth the read.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R369YHAFX1S3VP?ASIN=014242417X	Great Read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">It will make you laugh, it will make you cry, it will make you want to read it again. In some of the bad reviews people said that Hazel and Augustus spoke to maturely to have been teenagers and didn't act like teenagers. I would expect a young cancer patient to be more mature than your average teenagers, your maturity level is made up of things that you experience and the way you react to those things. The characters in this novel are flawless and I would not change  a thing about it, if the novel were about a teenage girl with cancer that drowns in self pity no-one want to read it. I couldn't wait to sit in the quiet and just read this novel for a couple of hours at the end of my day.<br/><br/>Yours Truly,<br/>A Young Adult With A Chronic Disease</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1J83FWPTXS3ZS?ASIN=014242417X	Mixed emotions	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I found this book well written and difficult to put down, however it was extremely sad and at times it was difficult to believe the characters as it seemed a bit contrived. As another reviewer mentioned, these teenagers quote poetry and understand metaphors but are awkward and cynical at the same time. I think the most disappointing thing about this novel is that it is pretty hopeless. There are multiple references to oblivion and the belief that there is no afterlife by the main character. This is not a feel good book, so if that is what you are looking for, look elsewhere. If there were half star ratings, I would have given it 3.5 stars as it was an interesting book. I too just didn't understand all the hype. Think I will skip the movie as well.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2T1Q8Z8TL26KW?ASIN=014242417X	Who would've thought?	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was amazing. It was an honest surprise. The writing style and point were very different than most are used to. This is a story about teenagers with cancer. Many have reviewed this book as being unrealistic for a teenager perspective. However, I think that is up for debate. The kids in this book are diagnosed with cancer before they are old enough to drive. They are forced into the seclusion of the cancer world and find their own personal and very honest philosophies on what life is and what life is about. Personally, with a family member having cancer and going through these things now, I will say, this story lightened and broke my heart in a very personal way. I highly recommend this book. The writing style was different, but amazing.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2O9VIM3TXMBWE?ASIN=014242417X	Spoke to me in ways I wasn't expecting	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I don't know what I was expecting when I started reading this book but I am now filled with a deeper appreciation for the love of my life and a deeper understanding of the fight my own father had with cancer.<br/><br/>The characters reminded me of people I have met in real life and it was a reminder that anyone wishing they had such a terrible affliction for attention or pity must not truly understand how the disease affects all that are involved.  Cancer perks are not something to be envied.<br/><br/>All in all an excellent read that I could have finished in one sitting but chose to savor, which is the only logical thing to do when the characters are afflicted as they are. Of course the author's prose can be slowly enjoyed of plowed through</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RX87ALR51CCA9?ASIN=014242417X	Best book I've read in ages	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book deserves a million stars, but that's not an option on this device. ;)<br/><br/>But in all seriousness, this book made me laugh and cry and is just pure perfection. John Green has captured my heart yet again with his amazing writing. He created perfect characters with such unique personalities and perspectives on life that you don't see much anymore. It was refreshing. No one knows how much I hate John Green for just ripping my heart and then backing over it with a heavy truck. (Joking! Obviously!)<br/><br/>This book is worth all of your money and I'm not going to spoil it. All I can say is that it is pure perfection. It's an awesome book with ideas and views on cancer that not a lot of authors have captured. Definitely a must read.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1MQPC4J2GKPBK?ASIN=014242417X	The story was really cancer-y but still I loved it.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read a review somewhere that said cancer was just the backdrop that fueled the love story. To that review I give a side-eye. This book discusses cancer alot. Cancer, cancer, cancer. Cancer here, there, and everywhere. And it's not the fairy tale cancer where at the end of the story everyone is cured and no scars remain. It's real cancer. But, true enough, the cancer made the love story that more touching.  I liked that the author didn't write the story in a way that seemed he was reaching for tears (even though I sobbed twice). I also loved how funny it was. It was actually really funny given the subject matter. I laughed a lot at the characters observations amidst the worst moments in their life. Hazel, Augustus and Isaac are quite the trio.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RALLJXG6KP3C1?ASIN=014242417X	Okay? Okay.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I Am On a Roller Coaster That Only Goes Up. I don't believe you get to live in the clouds once you die. I believe that all people rest in peace and are surrounded by love. Surrounded by your own thoughts. Your head up in the clouds. Love can be faraway or close but no matter where love is love them the same amount. Grief didn't change anybody. It reveals them. I enjoyed this rather mournful romance. I honestly think that was the best publication I have ever read. I just didn't know what to read and when I picked up this book I could not stop reading. My mom recommended the book to me after I found it while searching for a new book to read. I couldn't believe my luck. I love a good romance. After all the fault is not in our stars but ourselves.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R16AECC4LF1DBP?ASIN=014242417X	completely cathartic tear jearker	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">After four hours and a role of toilet paper to blow my nose and wipe my eyes, I completed this book.  I cried from the first to the last page.  It was very well  written and all the characters in the book were ""I am so intelligent and witty and if you don't get my jokes than you probably are not very smart"" type of characters, but since it was pretty easy to understand, it left me, the reader, feeling very smart and part of the exclusive ""smart and witty"" group.<br/><br/>I read this after my 16 year old son recommended it to me, and my 17 year old daughter started to read it.  While it is definitely a teenager genre,  I thoroughly enjoyed it myself...... and lets face it, some times there is nothing better than a good cry.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3TLKRSCFD5DPI?ASIN=014242417X	Everything you knew you've never known...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Every concept I've ever had has been blown away by this amazing book. It's a hilarious-heartbreaking-tear inducing-smile producing-mind altering-love story that has nothing to do with you but everything to do with anything you've ever felt, ever thought,  ever known. This book captures the very essence of life in its portrayal of death and his colleagues: sickness and health, pain and emptiness, and absolutely everything in between. The description on the upside flap of the book can not prepare you for the ""roller coaster ride"" of emotion you're going to experience. Just sit back, get comfortable, and then immerse yourself into the world of Hazel and Augustus, allow your mind and theirs to intertwine, and then fall in love again and again.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2Y4N8UDKT1KVE?ASIN=014242417X	I didn't expect to laugh this much	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I heard amazing reviews about this book starting several years ago. I bought the physical book, and it sat on my shelf. I bought the Kindle book, and it sat in my iPhone book list. I knew it was going to end sadly. I knew it was about kids with cancer, and I didn't want to be sad. Finally, tonight, I decided I was okay with being upset in exchange for some amazing writing. And then I laughed. I am writing this review, spoiler-free, to tell everyone who doesn't feel like reading a sad, star-crossed lovers, first-teenage-love, people-die story, that this book is different. The tone of the narrator, Hazel, is wry and provokes laugh-out-loud moments. Don't be afraid to read this book. You will cry, but you will not feel bad after reading it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1N0DGUSMTF82U?ASIN=014242417X	Elegant from start to finish	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">My wife recommended this one to me back when it debuted two years ago, and now that the movie is playing in theaters and it's is all over the news again I thought it was time to finally check it out. I was afraid the hype would be too much though. Thankfully, not. The Fault in Our Stars by John Green is an elegant love story of joy, heartbreak, and what we do with the time we're given.<br/><br/>There are so many points where the narrative could have gone south—turning melodramatic, cliché, or just plain schmaltzy. But it doesn't. Green's characters feel like real teens just trying to live life to the fullest despite also battling cancer. Hazel especially is as authentic as any living person could be given her extreme circumstances.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2S6FTYOW6RME2?ASIN=014242417X	Easily one if the	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Amazing. This book really moved me and made me look at the world in a whole new way. I feel that by reading this book, readers will gain a whole new perspective on the world around them, and see just how impacting each and every action they make really is. Readers may also learn a lot about themselves after reading this book. It really makes you think about how important your life here is, and what kind of legacy you want to leave behind. Everyone will leave a footprint, some larger than others. But how important is it, really, to leave behind a big footprint? Why not live presently, and absorb everything the universe has to offer? I recommend this book to practically everyone I speak to, and I recommend it to you reading this now.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R13PTOK7JQ2IE8?ASIN=014242417X	One of the best books I've read lately	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book spoke to me in ways Young Adult books haven't in years. I thought it was funny, touching, and horribly sweet. But not so sweet that it gave me diabetes. For all of those saying that the way that Augustus and Hazel spoke isn't how teens spoke missed the whole point. Of course teens without cancer or some serious illness do not speak that way. Augustus and Hazel and Issac for that matter spoke that way because they HAD to grow up quickly. The whole reason that Hazel's friend even exists is to point that out to the reader. While teens are faking adult hood these sick, amazing kids are just trying to feel some semblance of normality.<br/><br/>I thank John Green for writing a book that is seeped in reality for the YA genre.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RPQG41JMC0HSW?ASIN=014242417X	Emotional, but surprisingly light!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">John Green's The Fault in our Stars was a very unique read. When I first heard the plot of the story before reading it, I wasn't sure how I would feel about it. I'm not normally one for dark, sad, emotional books, especially in the Young Adult group. However I figured I'd give it a try, and I'm SO glad I did! Wow! The story of these two teenagers battling one of life's scariest scenarios is absolutely chilling. The most amazing part of this book, however, is not the terrifying idea of kids with cancer and how they deal with it. It's how light-hearted and fun the writing was, in spite of the dense topics. The book still made me laugh out loud, when I only expected to cry. This was absolutely phenomenal, I recommend it to everyone.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1OXGP1BKD1CAM?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing and Truthful	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book will go down as one of my top 5 favorite books ever.<br/><br/>I am the mother of a bone marrow transplant survivor (transplanted at age 1) and am about to go through the transplant process again with my second child. I have interacted with SO many cancer patients of all ages. As a semi-young (28) mother I always felt connected to the tween and teen cancer and bone marrow transplant patients that we got to know while living in the hospital.<br/><br/>This book allowed me to really understand a lot of the real life issues teen cancer patients, especialyl terminal patients, experience. I am so thankful that this book allowed me to further connect, and minister to, such a determined, special, and amazing group of people.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2USQ15MQ4TG93?ASIN=014242417X	Oh. My. Gosh.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is by far the best book I've ever read. I don't even know what to say. It's simple, yet extraordinary. The beginning as interesting as the end. You never want to take your eyes of the next page, nor did I want to finish it. I could have finished it in 2 days but when I got to 97% I realized I really didn't want it to be over. So I didn't read it again until 2 weeks later. The ending. Oh my. I'm not going to spoil it though. So you can keep reading.(: There was never a boring point in the book. Ever! There was always a twist that you never saw coming, nor would have you seen in a million years. I want to be a writer. I've never really had a favorite author. But now I think John Green is my new favorite author. He's amazing.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R33G3VHYN9G1ZB?ASIN=014242417X	One of my favorite books	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is amazing in so many different ways. I can honestly say that I'm not a reader, nor a cryer. I bought this book late Tuesday Night on Amazon Kindle, started reading it Wednesday, and finished at 2 am of Thursday morning. I also want to add that at 2 am in my bed all alone, I was bawling my eyes out. This is something that doesn't happen regularly. I can't even remember a time when I've cried in a movie, let alone a book. So here is my wish: that readers and non-readers can experience the same rawness and magnificence that I did. I am feeling like I should go out and read more books to find another book that can even come close to measuring up to TFIOS. John Greene, this book is the best book I've ever read. Thank you!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3EWR7BQVZ0KFD?ASIN=014242417X	One of the best books I've ever read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">You can't help but fall in love with Hazel Grace and Augustus Waters despite the fact that you don't want to. You don't want to because you know you're going to lose them. But this book proves that it's better to have loved and lost than to have never have loved at all. Green has created two witty, beautifully-tragic, funny characters that are sure to stay with you long after closing on the final page. You know this because your chest hurts when you finish. And, yet, you feel uplifted. It's a tremendously acrobatic emotion that Green creates inside the reader. And, for that, he deserves much praise and all the success. Thank you, Mr. Green for writing a story so full of love and lovable characters that it makes the reader ache.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2QQOAIZSEW203?ASIN=014242417X	This book is so perfect and moving and romantic in every way possible	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was amazing. I normally can't find a good book to read, as I, being the  picky person I am can never find an interesting enough book. But this book was more than interesting, it was moving. I don't normally read a 300+ page book in under 5 hours, but today I did. I shaved my head and raised nearly 3,000 dollars for show my support for cancer research and I did those things  because I really feel for those people who know someone who lost their battle with cancer and the cancer patients themselves. But anyway if you need a romantic and at the same time, moving book to read, or just a book to read that opens your eyes too the world that we live in, this is the book to read. I promise you you will not be disappointed.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RWG4GY6D2U5LC?ASIN=014242417X	Contrived	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I am dismayed by all the hype surrounding this book.  It is trite, contrived, overwrought, pretentious and not an accurate depiction of the cancer experience.  Augustus and Hazel embark on a doomed romance that is predictably fated to end in tragedy, but I never felt the chemistry that they were supposed to have between them.  There was no genuine emotion, just the endless ""witty""  repartee that grew more wearying and eye-roll inducing.  I may be too old for this book and admittedly not the target audience, but I purchased it expecting an earnest story of love and loss.  Instead, it is a book that tries too hard to seem glib, edgy and profound.  I truly wanted to like this book, but found very little substance here.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2BVFP23ZR9AZ4?ASIN=014242417X	Should be a required reading for all YA cancer patients	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">When I got the book in the mail I literally sat down and read it the whole way through in 6 hours (minus a bathroom break and dinner). I laughed, I teared up, and I really did relate. I'm 23 now, but when I was 20 I was diagnosed with cervical cancer and I remembering being one of those deep minds trapped in a teenage body. This spoke to me all many levels of my human experience so far.<br/><br/>This is really one of the most enjoyable books (not just cancer book) that I have ever read. I whole heartily recommend this book, or at least give it a shot and see if you like it. As per the overflowing amount of 5 star reviews show, it is a worthwhile book regardless if you are a young adult, affected by cancer, or a brooding individual.</span>"

The story makes you feel such raw and real emotions. I cried and laughed and cried even more. THIS is what contemporary fiction should be. Having known people who have had cancer and how much it takes a toll on the people you love, this one was especially hard to get through but I would have kicked myself if I had never read it. And it would shock me so if, after having read this book, you did not shed a few tears. Me? Let's just say I was on the verge of being torrential. Anyway... READ. THIS. BOOK.

I am very picky when it comes to reading, and when I find a book I like, you cannot pull me away from it until I completely finish it. By the first page I was hooked and ended up reading the whole of it in a day. Warning, if you are as empathetic, as I am, you will cry. And when I say cry, I mean huge racking sobs. I ended up breaking out the tissues, which does not happen often. What I love most about this book is that it felt real. The author has an amazing way of bringing the characters to life, something not many have now days. This will now be the book I recommend when someone asks what to read next.</span>"

I feel readers will have a unique peek at how your dear ones may be looking at life and how some of them may reflect on what matters to them after they leave our world. Each individual is different, but there are some common reflections.  I agree with the notion that one does find “the best people” in your life when you are in those dark days of losing a loved one.  Read it and see the movie, but don’t the qualifying factor, whether you cried to be a determining factor of its worthiness.  Instead read it, reflect on the messages and then live each day sharing &amp; showing the love you have for your loved one…value the time that you have together.</span>"

When I was reading this book, I felt like I was inside the book living Hazel's life, like I've known her forever. It took me some time to find words to put in this review, but I finally found them. Still, there is no word to explain how much I absolutely loved this book. John Green did a wonderful job writing this book. If you took time to read this, then you know this is an utterly amazing, beautiful book, and you should take time to read it and view people with diseases/disorders differently and better.

Clearly, we are all under a death sentence but it is very different for the adolescents with terminal illnesses who look at the world of adults and know the joys of adult life will never be theirs. I also think this book is an excellent argument for parents to stop poisoning their children with fairy tales of a beneficent god and the insane notion that everything happens for a reason. As Augustus said - ""We live in a universe devoted to the creation, and eradication, of awareness... a victim - as you will be - of the universe's need to make and unmake all that is possible.""

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars is full of truth, hope, humor, friendship, and beautiful characters that you wish you personally knew.  John writes beautifully...so many sentences I re-read over and over.  TFIOS explores the idea of self-sacrifice and nobility, the idea of individual heroism and the universe, how the smallest quirk and the grandest, most metaphorical gesture hold the same weight in love and friendship.  Every once in awhile, but not nearly often enough, a book comes along that you must finish reading no matter what the time of night, or morning, and in spite of the next full day facing you after the deficit of sleep you will suffer because you couldn't close the treasure that you hold in your hands.</span>"

Its two leads, Hazel and Augustus, meet in a cancer support group where the unnecessary suffering and mortality of sick children is always the main topic. But this is a love story. Because love is always fleeting, only as infinite and forever as lives are, as the world is, as the universe is. Green's book is about that, about grasping what we can while we can - even in a place where everything ends - because love is beautiful, powerful and because it occasionally asserts itself even when it would be better not to have heartbreak and disappointment. Gus and Hazel - wonderful characters - learn that. I was grateful to read this and be reminded. Highly recommended.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3VSL6F2HUZ36E?ASIN=014242417X	A heartfelt account of real life.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book centers on the lives of teenagers that are dealing with life threatening and life altering cancers.  I especially enjoyed the way the story was told.  Not from an outsider's point of view but from the sarcastic and overwhelmingly truthful kids themselves.  The characters come to life and you learn to love them and feel pain for them and admire them all at the same time.  They are honest in their recognition of life.  The book is said to have more appeal to a younger crowd but I didn't find it that way. The book is a great fast read with a look into the lives of teenage characters that are not different from your own children just different because of an unfortunate ""Fault in their Stars"".</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1C2NWGFECDOG6?ASIN=014242417X	Good read but PG-13	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I liked this book, I really did. It was well written, and it made me both laugh and cry. But being close to Hazel' s age myself, I didn't appreciate Mr. Green' s use of language to make the teens sound more authentic. Every other paragraph, it seemed, was filled with swear words. There's also a intense make out scene that was quite blush-worthy. Hazel also states a disbelief in God, (though Agustus tells her otherwise). So, if you're looking for an innocent read, this  might not be it. Still, I did enjoy the details Mr. Green packed the book with, and the calmness with which he writes the most dramatic scenes, making them feel even more intense. It reminded me of Gone With The Wind meets Romeo and Juliet.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3BXL69YY2LDN6?ASIN=014242417X	Beautiful Story (from someone who had pediatric cancer as an adult)	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I had the blessing of surviving a pediatric cancer as an adult. As an outside insider, I watched families undergo the greatest of hardships with both a sense of compassion and relief (thankful it was me in treatment and not my daughter). While every family and patient suffers as they undergo this challenge, I felt a special kind of heartbreak for teenagers in treatment -- they are old enough to understand their mortality and yet, their friends are not mature enough to really get whats going on.<br/><br/>Teenagers are already feeling alienated, add cancer on top of that and there are few works that express that kind of heartbreak. And even less can express it in a way that is as enjoyable as this book.</span>"

I am a huge john green fan I'm 14 and I think it's a good book for teens and adults alike. Th only thing I would like to put out there is that I was instantly attached to hazel, Gus and of courses Isaac, but was so sad and disappointed when Gus died. You see my great grandmother died 4 years ago from from cancer that had spread throughout her whole body, and her daughter my grandmother, is in remission from her second fight with brain cancer! I thank God everyday that she's here with and I cherish every moment with her. So Gus dying really awakens the sadness of my great grandmother.

A girl who's terminally sick with cancer meets a boy. They fall in love, but bad sad things happen. I won't spoil anything because what happens is not what you're thinking will happen. It's such a great story full of funny true genuine characters with quirks and amazing dialog and emotional memorable scenes. You'll leave this book remembering a lot of the scenes from it. Most books I finish and think back on and remember a couple cool moments - this book is full of them. The emotions of the characters are portrayed so well. Their story is sad but it's also inspiring and amazing. I highly recommend this book.</span>"

This is a wonderful book.<br/><br/>It's a book about death that is frequently laugh-out-loud funny.<br/><br/>It's a book about love, and about characters you quickly come to love.<br/><br/>It's a book that's over too soon, and that lingers.<br/><br/>You have to read this book.</span>"

You smile, laugh and cry along with Hazel. I relate so much with this in between girl.<br/><br/>All you want to do is put the book down as you are reading it because everything hurts, hurts so much you almost can't stand it (in fact I had to stop 4 times because I was crying too hard to read) but you can't. You mustn't you owe it to the characters to know what happens. You simply must know how they turn out.<br/><br/>Van Houten was wrong though, these characters live on with me. It sounds cheesy but I think of them as people because they are; they are true people who have feelings, lives and friends and I will never forget their stories.</span>"

This, though, is his best yet.  It's not quite as 'deep and emotional' as Looking for Alaska was, but it doesn't NEED to be.  It's hilarious, it's heart breaking, and it's short and sweet.  It only took me two sittings to read this, and I could have easily read the whole thing in one sitting had time been permitted.  Each page was filled with wit; there were absolutely no 'dry' sections in this book.<br/>Anyone who has an appreciation for witty humor and rich (but still warm and welcoming enough for the average reader) language should pick this book up.  It's absolutely beautiful.<br/>Thank you for writing this, John. DFTBA.</span>"

The hype was certainly truthful and I'm glad I took the time to read it. It was, a quick, easy read. It was like a friend telling you a story over coffee. Although lots of gobbledygook due to the pretentious intellect of the characters, you can weed thru it without a dictionary. I couldn't give the 5th star because I don't like books without a solid ending. The story, like the plot line the two were after in the book, was too cliche with the open ending. I wanted satisfaction at the end and closure and was just as frustrated as Hazel at the end. I don't understand why Green ended it that the way he did.</span>"

One of the most amazing talents of authors is their ability to make the reader care about characters who do not exist. John Green's brings to life Hazel and Augustus in such a way that a visceral reaction to the story is impossible.<br/><br/>Any good review should (I suppose) contain a critique or two. The only one to be made is that the plot turns out to be predictable, but really a story as touching and beautiful as this only has one path to follow.<br/><br/>I highly recommend this book. Thank you John Green for writing this story (and for making me cry in public).</span>"

I preordered this book and completed it the day it came out. I have re-read this book seven times and will re-read it more. I wish to find my own Augustus one day. I keep re-reading to fall in love with him again. I have not shared this book with anyone, since favorite books are special like that, however being a top seller makes that a tad useless. I am not happy about this book being a movie because with fame comes misuse and people who don't read books and see the movie to find out what it's about. With the movie will come more nerd fighters who aren't nerd fighters and it will make me sad. Truly yours, Anna.</span>"

How can books be mean? Well, bends the fact that I cried throughout the whole second part of the book. My feelings were quite hurt to be honest. In the sense that I read this book in matter of hours, I was white offended whenever I got to the last page. I turned the page and my heart sank. I was no longer reading one of the best books ever written. It was an awful feeling. Sure I can go back and read the book again but it will never be the same.

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R11QM6W0Z3ITPK?ASIN=014242417X	A Worthwhile Read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This was, in all, a heartbreaking story with a slightly predicable ending. However, I enjoyed the overall attitude of this book and just the way that John Green writes. He seems to write in a language that most teens can recognize and relate to. I thought the emotions are to be described as simply raw, and this aspect greatly contributed to the book and the feelings that the reader got from reading it. Despite the two teens having cancer, i thought the lessons from the book are relatable to all audiences. The book was a quick to read and was totally worth the week i spent on it. It's a book that will always stick in the back of my head somewhere, reciting the sarcastic and witty quotes.</span>"

Well written, great characters, little twists and turns, idiosyncratic authorial viewpoint, all adds up to great book.  In lesser hands this could have been a mushy, tugging at the heart-strings tearjerker, and while it does make you question the concept of fairness in life, neither the story nor the characters are allowed to spend too long feeling sorry for themselves.  Though I think they would have a right to.<br/><br/>I see this is often described as Young Adult or ChickLit.  Well I don't qualify in either criteria (I'm male, 55) but I thoroughly enjoyed it.</span>"

I pretty much read through the last one hundred pages before allowing myself to even think about going to sleep. Let me assure you, it is well past my bed time. I met John Green last year and got him to sign The Fault in Our Stars before I realized how big of a deal he actually is and I'm glad I did. I fell in love with him through his VlogBrothers videos before I fell in love with his writing in this book. The man is an artist with his writing. I adore his style and will eventually read his other books as well. I must now wrap up this review because, as I've already stated, it's past my bedtime and I'm now very sleepy. Good night and go read this book!</span>"

Questions like, will I ever find love? Will I leave a mark on this world? Will my life be remembered for generations to come? Or will I mean nothing to anyone after I die?<br/><br/>I really do recommend this book to anybody looking for a romance, comedy, humiliation, and great devastation.

It is a good story and very well written, certainly worth a read if you got the time. Sometimes it seems a little too well written especially considering the characters are 16 and 17 years old, some of the words they used I never even heard of! Lol. Also, this book could be for anyone it is not too girly but defiantly not the macho manly stuff I am used to. It gives a great insight into life, death, and young love. If a 22 year old male Army Soldier can enjoy it, I'm sure you can too! Give it a try!</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">To be honest, I almost didn't read it when I found out it was for young adults, and being 28, I thought it would be a little on the ""youg"" side for me. Needless to say, I'm really glad I gave this book a chance. I read it in a day and loved every page. I'm really excited to see the movie when it comes out in June, but I have a feeling it may not do this great book justice. I just started reading another John Green book, and I have high expectations for that one because of this book! This book made laugh, and it made me cry. I felt the love that Hazel and Augustus felt for each other.. it was very apparent. What a great book! This will definetely be one I read again and again!</span>"

How could our plucky heroine not like V for Vendetta and not appreciate its heroine Evie and completely miss the movie's larger message?  No, she's obsessed with a book she read as a younger girl that stops mid-sentence.  And ""300"" has one of the steamiest sex scenes this side of pornography that Hazel somehow misses (but I'll bet Gus didn't).  The frank talk about cancer is refreshing and rings true.  Even Van Houten's super-saturated scholarly superiority speech rings true, but no one gives him another thought when he ""fails' them.  This book reads like a soap with good dialogue.<br/>I'm not looking forward to the movie.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RXIRMNQMTP1Z?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in Ourselves	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I honestly walk around and tell people to read the book if they haven't. It's emotional and beautiful and meaningful. You don't get hurt and you don't arrive angry at the last page. It's not what you expect and it's everything that worries you in your somehow now joyful life. TFIOS is not just a modern book, it is a lesson to live by and love by. You leave upset at first, but then (if you're similar to me) a few days later you're filled with an overwhelming joy for the life you have and the empowering message of John Green's novel. I believe that fifty years from now, kids will read this for ""summer reading"" or ""school assignments"" and love it just as much as I do.</span>"

Augustus waters completely understood love. so what if Augustus is not with hazel, she still loves him the same. she did not fall in love with him on the condition that he would live longer than her. there are no conditions in love, so there shouldn't be any regrets. she is now alone not because she cannot find someone  else, but because loving Augustus makes her happy. LOVE IS LIKE Sex LIFE. IT MAY NOT BE EASY AND IT MAY NOT ALWAYS BRING YOU HAPPINESS, BUT IF WE DON'T STOP LIVING, THEN WHY SHOULD WE STOP LOVING? even after lovers have died their love with live on.

Not only is it well written, it has taught me more about life than any other book. I have read other books about people dying of cancer but none of the others touched my heart like this one did. All of the other books had the main character having the same out look on life. They all were hopeful and wanting the best for what time they had left. I was glad to see the author bring a new point of view on what it is really like to live with cancer. I enjoyed reading Hazel's view point on what it is like to live with cancer. I highly recommend this book to everyone. But I warn you, I did cry multiple times.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R74LESYYD8KQN?ASIN=014242417X	Well Written, Nicely Paced, and Very Depressing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars is a love story, but not one that is romantic or uplifting.  The author has done a good job writing an engrossing book and trying to spice the tragedy of the story up with some dark humor and good natured characters, but this story is a sad one.<br/><br/>This is the kind of book that might stay with a young reader for a lifetime, and not necessarily in a good way:  I am always cautious about elementary school aged children reading really dark subject matter because it does shape their thought process.  This book is undoubtedly dark.<br/><br/>Still, this is a well-written book and is worth reading as long as you can tolerate the depressing subject matter.</span>"

We all call our selves ""individuals"" but are we really. We all live the same life. We all mourn, we all cry, we all try to remember the good things but in the end only have scars. And it is with this truth that we can all relate to a book like this. Because within every piece of writing there is a piece of your life story. So I praise this book, because it made me laugh and cry, and made me realize that every time we read, were learning a piece of our future. And it might not make sense to you, but who really cares. We all live the same lives, only to different extremes. Some infinities are bigger than other infinities.</span>"

I can think of no finer example of a gripping, honest, emotionally-charged story, and say with confidence that John Green is currently the best young-adult writer around.<br/><br/>On the surface, it's an over-used plot. But I feel like all that has to be said, has been said. But people are still falling in love, right? So if you're going to say something, say it well.<br/><br/>And that's exactly what John Green does. He tells you a love story in honest, uncomplicated words that prove adolescence need not equate shallow, vapid existence. You can be profound, and relevant, and truthful in the bullsh_tless musings of a teenager.</span>"

You will learn about a girl who loves a man but refuses to hurt him. Then a boy, who loves this girl for being her. He doesn't care about the tube, or the though of cancer because true love only exists when you find yourself but you need the other person to help. But the story has a twist. When you think life is bad, look at someone else's live and you might be healthier. This amazing book awakens the hearts of people to look at our heroes. The cancer patients, the people with diseases, the people lost in war are all heroes in this life. Just like the hero you are for having faults in your stars.</span>"

TFIOS has so many themes to explore, I Could make a wonderful unit using this book as a springboard for discussion. Overall, I found this book to be appropriate for its YA audience.

Although we know that the world is not a wish granting factory..<br/>.sometimes people help wishes come true. Although I had never purchased a kindle audio book , I decided to purchase this in an audio book. After Angelica stayed up all night reading this book, we spent the day together listening to it.

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2RMTJWSO655BE?ASIN=014242417X	Sad for the sake of being sad	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This wasn't a terrible book, but it wasn't particularly good, either.  The author seemed to just want to play on people's emotions and make the reader sad without much character development behind it.  It reminded me a lot of Twilight, except with cancer instead of vampires.  The star-crossed teenage lovers have nothing in common, except for their inevitable untimely deaths, and their romance blossoms without any real relationship development.  Similar to Twilight, the male love-interest is portrayed as remarkably handsome, yet falls for the unremarkable narrator.  The narrator is portrayed as an awkward, self-conscious, introverted teenage girl who loves books and Chuck Taylors--basically allowing any sort-of-shy teenage girl to insert herself into the role and easily relate to the character.  The book was good enough for a quick read, but I think the author was very manipulative without offering very much plot substance.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is a Young Adult book, and even though I'm an Old Adult, I read it to get a feel for the genre. The first chapter didn't impress me. The first person narrative of a sixteen year old girl with cancer seemed too mature and sophisticated. I kept reading it, however, and by the time I got to the middle, couldn't put it down. The writing gets better in the last half of the book, which is the reverse of what usually happens. So it's a twenty-first century Love Story brought down to high school level. At the halfway point, I predicted the ending, but even so, the ending was well done. It's a very sad story, so if you can't handle unhappy endings, it's not your cup of tea.</span>"

John Green's writing is witty and crafted with tidbits of genius and insight.  The characters seem too real to ignore, and by the end I'm rooting for Hazel against all odds.  I'll recommend this book to all readers who can handle the idea of a misfit heroine with more courage and insight than her tender years should warrant.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RZ5QKKDL9LBKP?ASIN=014242417X	By far the best novel I have ever read!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">John Green has done it! He has made me laugh, cry, and think deeply about the world all at the same time. The storyline, the plot, the characters, everything about this novel was pure genius. Thre is nothing not to love about Hazel Grace or Augustus Waters or our dear friend Isaac. This novel affected me so deeply that my horse is named Augustus(Gus for short) because of what a beautiful and wonderful character Augustus Waters is. John Green is most definately the greatest author  have had the pleasure of reading, and surpasses J. K. Rowling and other noted great authors by a landslide! If you have not read or enjoyed this book, there might be something wrong with you!</span>"

I hope some day I will be able to write a book full of power and strength and hopefully i will learn from it and if the author reads this i hope that you know that yo  changed my life and the way I look at it so I thank touching my whole heart for your inspiration and thoughts on cancer because I've had 2 family members died from its awful way of killing. My mom and 2 of my teachers have had it and I'm crying right now as I write this and I quote "" I pray that some day I can be like hazel because i love her faith and how she always thinks of her future. And thanks again for sharing your inspiration</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/REXMFJGTU6T9V?ASIN=014242417X	One of the best books I have read in years	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I am glad I did not read the synopsis before I bought the book. Having lost someone very dear to cancer I usually stay away from this topic.<br/><br/>This is a remarkable book. The extraordinary talent of Mr. Green resides in portraying cancer patients as people, not as their disease. His raw, bold and sometimes brutal writing is longed-for in a state of affairs where profound and poetic texts are not the norm but the exception.<br/><br/>Agustus and Hazel will say with me for a long, long time....<br/>""It seemed like forever ago, like we'd had this brief but still infinite forever. Some infinities are bigger than other infinities.""<br/><br/>Thank you Mr. Green.</span>"

I'd heard so many great things about this book and finally decided to read it. In a way, I wish I hadn't because I feel like before this book i was so careless to the world outside of my life. This book has opened my eyes to things I hadn't even thought of before. I thought the book ""Mocking Jay"" by Suzanne Collins was a depressing book but after The Fault In Our Stars, I am officially scarred for life. But in the best way. This book by far is my favourite book of all time. Thank you to the wonderful author that decided to gave the courage to right a book with Romance, suffering, death, and utter insanity all in one book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R13TE38IM7ZCR7?ASIN=014242417X	Best thing that has happened to me this summer..	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Purchasing and reading this book has been one of best choices i have made! It is brilliantly written and incredibly addictive. I fell in love with each character and i cant simply stop reading it. I love the way John Green treats the topic of kids with cancer in the story and how there is no sugar coating the topic. Even if i was heartbroken by the passing of one of the main characters, i knew that there couldn't have been another way to end this story. Oh, and I'm totally obsessed with Hazel &amp; Augustus, there couldn't have made a better couple and i just simply love everything about them. I really recommend people to read this book. You will not regret buying it ;).</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R11RV1HEZY97MH?ASIN=014242417X	Love that beats the odds	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I listened to this on CD while driving. The audio was great. This story is about Hazel and Augustus Waters, two cancer patients that meet at support group in the `literal heart of Jesus' in the basement of a church. They fall in love, even though Hazel tries not to. She doesn't want to wound anybody else by dying, which she knows she will (as she can hardly breathe on her own because of her cancer). Gus is witty, charming, irreverent, and so smart. This poignant tale show the beauty of loving someone for who they are, not for how perfect they look or how long they'll live. The emotion was amazing, and the tragic tale of first love was heroic and touching. Great book.</span>"

I ventured around some more on the official channel, vlogbrothers, and discovered about his work as a novelist, specifically about this book.  I bought it on a whim.<br/><br/>And I loved it.<br/><br/>The Fault in Our Stars is one of the funniest, saddest, most emotional, and any other cliched adjective I could possibly think of, books I have ever enjoyed reading.  I went into this book blind to what the actual tale told.  I was clung to every page, ensnared in the world of Hazel, the 16 year old protagonist of the story.  I recommend this book to anyone with a fleeting interest in this novel.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1UV6VKBI1GQXQ?ASIN=014242417X	Fantastic!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I bought this book because I've been a bi fan of John Green on Youtube for quite some time. due to massive amounts of talk about Hazel and Augustus and their relationship i was worried this would be a more love story for females. (me being male, decided that i'd give it a shot anyway) and all i can say is...worth it. Yes it is a love story, but it is SO MUCH MORE all rolled into one amazing story which i read faster than any other book I've ever read. and it is easily one of the best. worth the money, worth the time. if you're emotional, bring the tissues so not to stain the wonderful pages of this book with your TEARS (seriously, if you are emotional, you will cry.)</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3K0NQZSB3TY85?ASIN=014242417X	John Green taps all emotions once again	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I bought this book a few hours ago. My plan was to read one chapter and then go to sleep. Needless to say, I read the whole book in one sitting.<br/><br/>I was immediately drawn to every character in this book. Hazel is a tough but incredibly human protagonist. I fell in love with Augustus instantly. Even the more deplorable characters have their better moments.<br/><br/>No other author I've come across can make me laugh like John Green can. No other author can make me cry like John Green can. And no author today makes me think quite like Green does.<br/><br/>Whether Nerdfighter or someone who just randomly stumbled upon this book, TFIOS is well worth the read.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I'm a 15 year old girl who loves reading a lot and this book is one of the few books I have read that tought me a lesson. I, once again learned that I have to be thanful for what God has given to me. But that's the only lesson I learned, John Green tought me a lot of lessons in this book. But the most important one is that some infinities are bigger than others. I cannot think of any other way that anyone could have described this sentence to make it sound as beautiful as the one he has written. At the end of this book, I cried. I was full on bawling my eyes out. That's how good this book is. I promise you, unless you have a heart of stone, you will love this book.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R16778QBOVZZON?ASIN=014242417X	John Green at his best	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is John Green's best work yet. It has everything his fans have come to expect from him: great writing, lovable, witty characters, complicated lives, oodles of literary references, and a philosophical twist, all wrapped in a highly readable story about life and love and fate. I laughed, I cried, I tore through this book in a day, and I was sorry to see it end.<br/><br/>I was a bit frustrated with the lack of development with the Peter Van Houten character, as something seemed rushed or missing there, but otherwise, this book was everything I needed from a young adult read. I am going to miss these characters, and I'll be waiting to read whatever John Green writes next.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RLRIL82MZKQLS?ASIN=014242417X	Perfect for any age!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I saw a trailer for the movie that is coming out in August and wanted to see it and realized it was a book.  Well I bought the book and read it in less than a day.  I couldn't put it down.  I want my girls to read it. I cried and laughed through this entire book.  I think these kids are more grown up because of what they have been through.  A terminal disease will make a person older and even though they acted their age at times they do seem to be a little older.  That being said the book is as PG as it can get and anyone could read this.  I say read this book if you have not, you will not be disappointed.  I would really like to know what happens to Hazel though.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1G95B9KDXN1C4?ASIN=014242417X	Best YA Book I've read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I am a voracious reader. Just this summer I have devoured the Matched trilogy, all ""Rot and Ruin"" books up to this point, Cinder &amp; Scarlet, The first two of the Divergent series, Twisted, Hate List, and others I'm not remembering right now. This isn't to brag; it's to demonstrate how great ""The Fault in Our Stars"" is. Hands down it is the best stand-alone (not a series) young adult book I've read. It probably makes my top 10 of all time. I can't recommend this enough. If you love to read, this is original enough it will give you one of those ""reader's high."" If you're typically not a reader, this book will win you over. Just get it already!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3H2826F3X5QYL?ASIN=014242417X	Lovely	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Of all the books concerning death that I've read--and a strange WWII phase in middle school has left me with a plethora of tear stained memories to chose from--this one gave me that beautiful wink of hope and  an arguably satisfying end. I'd like to thank my friend Lyndie for recommending this book to me(I finally got around to it!). Your habit of choosing books with pretty covers reaped bountiful fruit this time around. I see why you so aggressively pushed this one. If you're a little weary from narratives that make you feel bad about being a person--thanks, F. Scott Fitzgerald--then you'll find this story refreshing. So thanks, John Green, you've wowed me again.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1ESUC041CCH8E?ASIN=014242417X	A poignant tear-jerker	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I wouldn't call The Fault of Our Stars the saddest book ever. There are plenty of topics and things sadder and of greater moral weight than young love and cancer. There's systematic oppression, genocide, natural disasters. But what The Fault of Our Stars is, is the most well crafted book I've read thus far toward the end of inspiring a feeling of sadness. Fortunately for readers, this is not some purposeless tear jerking sadness, (although if you don't cry -a lot- while reading this novel, I suspect you are inhuman) but sadness which offers, at its core, a fantastic reward. Writing a review of this novel this fantastic (and this popular) seems redundant. Read it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1CP77WYIVPE3V?ASIN=014242417X	If you don't know John Green, you should.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">After seeing the previews for the movie version of this novel, I attempted to refrain from reading the book until after I saw the movie, but to just get a feel I decided to read the first couple pages. Bad decision for anyone like me that picks apart book-to-movie-adaptions. I could not put this book down after reading the first few pages. It is very well written and a pure joy to read, although the story isn't always a joyous one. It took me 2 days of sticking my nose in this book constantly because it is just that good that you do not want to put it down. I recommend this book a thousand times over, when you're done, read looking for Alaska by the same author.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1WEWLLY5M6DS1?ASIN=014242417X	Quick good read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I am a 40 something mom who was looking for a break from my current addiction to ""Hunger Games-esque"" type books. In the last two years, almost ( except Game of Thrones) everything I've read has been in the young adult fiction genre....seems like this is where the real writing and storylines are these days... this is a quick read, beautifully written. I fell in love with all of the characters very quickly. I never give spoilers, and dislike reviews that give deep synopsis' ... with that said, if you are looking for a beautiful story with a realistic ending, this book is for you. Plan on shedding a few tears, laughing at times and being angry too...it's all here!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2O2S7URUUD5R9?ASIN=014242417X	How dare you hate this book?	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Augustus and Hazel. Hazel and Augustus. I'll make this simple, I'm a twelve- year- old book snob, who feels next to no emotion for the characters, and just moves on to the next after reading a book. This is different. I cried with Mrs. And Mr. Waters, hated Monica with Isaac, laughed with Gus, cried with Hazel after the diagnosis. This is one of the best books I've ever read. If you don't like it, fine. You're allowed to have your wrong opinion. :) My friend has had cancer 2 times, and has a brain tumor right now. I know the pain Hazel's parents felt, because she is like a sister to me. I can relate to so many of the characters in so many ways. Read this book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2ZZKW52U7UMVU?ASIN=014242417X	John Green- most amazing writer alive.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I say ""alive"" because edgar allen poe is dead. but seriously, how does a 30ish man understand the world so well through a 16 year olds eyes? i LOVED THIS BOOK. i've read all his other books and loved them, but this one was incredibly deep. he understands things perfecting from Hazel's point of view (ex. ""he fought bravely against the cancer."" Hazel- how else are you supposed to fight?)<br/><br/>like everyone else here, i bawled my eyes out, but it was more than that. this book gave me incredible insight into the lives of those who live with cancer- and made me realize that cancer does not define a person, yet it is an indefinite part of who they are. i'm awestruck.</span>"

Mainly for two reasons:<br/>one, you killed me with this book<br/>Two, this book ended<br/>I have read this book countless times and it has torn me to pieces and reduced me to tears every time.<br/>Not only is the plot vastly richer than 81% coco dark chocolate, but also the style of writing is border line poetic. The characters are . Beautifully flawed and fitting to this literary masterpiece. I'd say that this novel is perfect, but perfection is an incorrect concept. I have read every novel John green has published and this is by far the best. I applaud your creativity and style. Thank you for this glorious work of literature</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2NELVGNRQVRTO?ASIN=014242417X	A Fantastic Read for Everybody	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Having seen some of the more negative reviews for this book, I find that they are generally off the mark. This absolutely does not tell a typical love story or ""cancer"" story. It is a book about teenagers with cancer but it is not about cancer. It is compelling and will make you feel very happy and very sad in a short amount of time. The main character is one that John Green creates masterfully that will have the reader emotionally invested in from the start.<br/><br/>Quite simply, this is a book that needs to be read. It is written extremely well and it is very evident that a lot of time was put into it. If you read it, you will not regret it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R35AX8HTCZUQJI?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing To See How Stars Fall	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault In Our Stars is an extravagant book that is read straight to the soul. It leaves you wondering how people really get through things like cancer. Hazel is an extraordinary character battling the life and death of cancer. She shows how difficult it is battling a sickness, and proves that you can get through anything with love. Augustus is a true mastermind at getting to know the best of someone's heart. Even though he left the world, he knew that he was not leaving anyone's soul. This novel was perhaps the best I've ever read and is sure to never leave your mind. I would like to thank John Green for taking the time to write this fantastic book.</span>"

I didn't know what it was about or anything about it, however, the title sounded so familiar. I considered buying it numerous times but didn't actually do it. Finally decided to search it on Amazon. SO glad I did. I absolutely loved this book. It was perfect in every way. I loved the characters. They were amazing and fit so perfectly together. They were real and it was so easy to understand and come to love each one of them. I love the metaphors and the quotes from other authors. It was just wonderful. One of the best books I have ever read. Every person should read this book!</span>"

Absolutely, positively not! This was a beautiful, beautiful book. It was just incredible how he made up a fictional book so it was like reading two books at the same time (kind of LOL). But gosh, this book just gave me so many different emotions; page after page, I found myself either squealing or laughing or feeling the pain of the characters. Augustus and Hazel were so right for each other I just wanted to punch something because they were so perfect! T___T They just felt so real and it was so, so, so hard for me to let go after I finally finished the last page. Everything was perfect about this book!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1UTGK0MOG0LF2?ASIN=014242417X	life changing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Often in capital L literature today, there are messages, life lessons. This book however comes with no singular lesson, but rather a series of beautiful and unforgettable phrases that haunt you. The words of this book have rocked me to my core and have helped me to change the way I see the beauty of the world and the beauty of people. Never in my life have I recommended a book more. If you are considering this book for the reading, I heartily suggest that you do. I want you to enjoy each page, and each moment that John Green has filled to the brim with emotion. This book has changed me, and I hope with all of my heart that you will let it change you.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RY7GCP1JIAY2P?ASIN=014242417X	Beautiful!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars is an amazing book! Quote-worthy, crush-worthy, and most of all-tear-worthy. I don't normally like sad books because they make me, well sad. This was an exception. It wasn't a dwell-on-it I-hate-the-world can't-stop-crying type of novel, it's just heart warming and heart breaking at the same time.  Read it-you'll know what I'm saying.<br/>John Green brings his characters to life and makes sure that they don't leave your mind. When the book was over, I couldn't decide what to think about it. It kind of just ended-but it strangely fits and makes it even better.<br/>I highly recommend to those who enjoy heart-warming YA romance.</span>"

The story kept dragging me back in for more even now after I've read it i still want more. In a way i kind of feel like Hazel after she read her favorite book AIA but in a good way. Theirs no doubt in my mind i will forever reread and recommend this to others. Im not good at reviews this is actually my very first book review. I cannot rack my brain enough to find the right words to explain how incredibly awesome,funny,tear jerking just all around amazing this book is. So my dear fellow readers definitely buy this one and always DFTBA!<br/><br/>And John I love love LOVE you for writing this.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1AK2WOEAC4JD0?ASIN=014242417X	beautiful. and sweet	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I definitely think this book is for a younger crowd, the thoughts are very much so of a child, and actions of a child. It brought me back to childhood thoughts.<br/>It was a sweet love story of two sick teenagers how they fall in love and how they use their ""wish"" from ""make a wish"".. How she makes friends and breaks her tight leash with her parents who at first want her to venture the world, then realize she is and they become afraid. (Like any normal teen parent would)  she has a beautiful relationship with everyone she encounters. A sweet soul. And the love of her life became her new story, for herself at least. (And us readers)</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2YGKB09LFVDIY?ASIN=014242417X	Fantastic Book.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read this book after reading some of Greens other work.  I was most excited about this one, but I was reading them in release date order so I waited.  Even after all the hype I still thought that this book was one of the best books I ever read.  I found the writing style so easy to be absorbed into and the storyline was enchanting and I could not stop reading it.  I have now read this book around 5 times and each time, I find myself in tears when ever I reach certain moments of the book.  The book is heart breaking and unpredictable and is just an emotional rollercoaster that everyone should ride.  I would recommend this book to everyone I know.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2A1SBGATY9M00?ASIN=014242417X	Best book since Harry Potter	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Books and movies speak to me. I always try to find the detailed base of the story. I was able to find it easily in this book, but I won't say because it spoils. Cancer is one of my biggest fears. I'm scared for my dog, my family, and myself. I almost didn't read this, because I was afraid that it would say something about cancer that woud make me even more scared. After reading it, and pulling myself together fom the tears, I realized that this book isn't about cancer. It's about a girl's personal story, and the cancer is just a twist to he story.<br/><br/>If you read this, I can promise you smiles, laughter, tears, and complete satosisfaction.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R27SX21XEBR0OD?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is an amazing story and it proves that in life there is an ending no matter how long you really want to live. It shows that yet you are or can be sick that you have a life to live and that there are people that make your life worth living each day. It also shows that with one death the morale of some can change and that between few people a bond can form and only such people understand what's going on. We don't get to choose our life or what really happens to us but we do get to choose how it affects us and who we want to live it with. This book has a different perspective on life itself and the way people handle what they are going through.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I ordered this book by mistake shortly after I got my first Kindle, yet I decided to read it, instead of turning it back to Amazon. The description of this book was not a book I would have ordered. The Fault in Our Stars was written, I believe, for a younger reader, possibly in their teens or even older. Yet, I now believe it is a book for young and old. What inspiration! It is about a teen age girl who has had terminal cancer for as long as she remembers, she has been, ""terminally ill."" This book made me laugh, cry, and a heart feeling good. I highly recommend this book for people over 12 years old up to 112 years old.<br/><br/>Marci L</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R25QYJX218CCK3?ASIN=014242417X	Second John Green book I have read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is a talented author. I read books for young adults  because my librarianmentioned to me that they have more magic.  I read ""Looking for Alaska"" and was impressed with Mr. Green's use of language and the visual power in it's effect.  The capacity to create visuals usually sinks me into a book; I lose track of time; hate the pleasure to end.  The magic is in Green's wordcraft, certainly not the themes of life.  The stories are real.  Very real, with character construction that is genius full of emotional truth.  The stories hold suspense.  I would recommend ""The Fault in Our Stars""  to anyone who loves to read, see, and cry...</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2R4WJY76ITISH?ASIN=014242417X	Best book I've read in awhile	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Markus Zusak was right in his review, ""The Fault in Our Stars is John Green at his best. You laugh, you cry, and then you come back for more."" I finished this book within a day, unable to put the book down. I was emotionally attached and deeply moved. The book literally had me wiping away my tears in one scene and laughing the next.<br/>The book stays with you. After I finished reading, I sat there, stunned and just thinking for awhile, not quite capable of digesting it all yet quite ready to go back to the book and read again. This is a great book and quite easily the best young adult book I've ever read.<br/>I can't wait for John Green's next work.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R28RHIDR4VC1X2?ASIN=014242417X	This one is definitely a MUST READ!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This one I highly RECOMMEND, though, I did dread, not in a bad way, reading this book because I'm a hopeless romantic and I always want a happy ending with the fictional characters that I read about. =)) I stayed up and finished this book early this morning and it's A MUST READ!!<br/>John Green couldn't have come up with a more perfect title for Augustus and Hazel's story. It was very sad, but don't let that discourage you from reading it (it really is a good book), so sweet and beautifully written. Not to spoil anything, but have a box of tissue ready if you do decide to read it. I woke up with puffy eyes, but it was worth it. Happy Reading!</span>"

I devoured this book on a Sunday afternoon complete with ugly snot crying in my bedroom before bed.<br/>  I fell in love with Hazel Grace and Augustus because of their hearts. Living with a deadly disease, Hazel could have fallen into a deep depression. She could have given up on life. As could Augustus to be honest, but they used the strength from one another to be strong. They were so strong, even in the face of death, sickness and heartache.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RST8CCLHSM3TB?ASIN=014242417X	I ugly cried...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I'll keep this review relatively short, since there are SO many reviews on it already.<br/><br/>I enjoyed this book a lot. I did the ugly cry more than once, so it gets pretty sad. I wouldn't say the entire book is a beautiful book, but there are parts of it that are beautifully written. I love reading a book and coming across a part that pulls at my heart and I think to myself ""how poetic, how beautiful!"". There are not many books that I feel this way about, so it's a big deal to me for something to be ""beautiful"".<br/><br/>My favorite part of this book is how real it was. It was honest in the ugliest, most brutal way.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1G79VIUUN9FO9?ASIN=014242417X	I don't get the hype	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I am 50 year old woman but I do read YA books on occasion and thought I would give this chance since I had gone through cancer with two immediate family members and the reviews were so great.  I read the book in 2 days and found it sweet and an easy read but I do not understand the love it seems to have inspired in so many people other than the fact that this author supposedly has a HUGE youtube and twitter following. Frankly, I liked a Walk to Remember better in regards to story topic.  Also, this book can not touch Catcher in the Rye with a ten foot pole in regards to cynical teenagers. Good read but no way worthy of all this gushing.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2ED78MYJ7ZYU9?ASIN=014242417X	No word	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">In the English dictionary or any dictionary for that matter there absolutely no word to describe how this book made me feel and although anyone reading this review who hasn't read the book it must sound like I'm going over board here which admittedly I might, but it just that good . Any they only way you describe the book with catching every last thought feelings and new perspective is simplest put in the the once thought to be over used with no real meaning and defining aspect.  NO WORDS cause maybe the best WORDS to describe something is none at all.  Just the simple silence of the unspoken word of us all can truly describe this book.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R343ADFFA252TN?ASIN=014242417X	Absolutely amazing.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was incredible. It took me all of five hours to read on a road trip. I did shed a few tears during the end, which is kind of rare for me. The characters felt so real-- it felt like I actually knew Hazel and Augustus and Isaac. It felt like I was right there with them ad everything was going on; at some points I had to use the dictionary function of the Kindle whilst reading this book. John Green definitely likes big words. It's a very deep, beautiful book though. The kind of book you want to tell people about, but at the same time, the kind of book that you want to be yours and yours alone. I definitely recommend buying this!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3HONJDLBV26YP?ASIN=014242417X	For Hazel!!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This story was more than exceptional. It was over the top excellent and meet every emotion! There were times you wanted to cry, times to laugh, and times to be angry. You could feel the character's every emotion and could connect to her.<br/>Hazel is a bright, talented girl that creates the story. Without her there would be no story. She is the cherry on top.<br/>Augustus is the love of Hazel's life and the love of anyone who reads this book. You at first hate him but you learn to love his personality and character. He cares about as if she were his own daughter.<br/><br/>This is the best book ever and deserves a five star rating.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RO7MZSFUG34UF?ASIN=014242417X	Beautifully written	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I had yet to read a book that was so sad as it was funny. The insight into a world I am not familiar with was well appreciated, the characters were developed beautifully, the story makes you realize that their are more serious topics in life then what most of us young adults consider. I laughed, I cried, but most of all I breathed (no pun intended) this story. I reveled in the simplicity that even when undergoing such tumultuous difficulties in life Hazel Grace and Augustus Waters mattered more for how they lived their lives then for how others constantly saw them dying. It was an amazing book that I believe everyone should read!!!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2WAP1ER5NJQI5?ASIN=014242417X	My thoughts are stars I cannot fathom into constellations...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars was my favorite read of the summer. The writing, the plot, and the characters were all pure perfection. Yes, the topic of terminally ill teenagers is depressing, and yes, you will absolutely cry your freaking eyes out, but this is one of those stories that HAS to be read and will stay with you forever. Seriously, everything about this book is raw, real, and hauntingly beautiful. His writing literally takes my breath away! I loved the writing, story, and characters so hard that it's not even funny. I honestly have no words. All I can say that y'all have to read this book. It is beyond a 5 star read in my eyes.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RP8HSC022PEBF?ASIN=014242417X	Deeply moving	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">My college-aged son recommended this book to me.  All I can say is it deeply affected me. The literary style in writing, the quotes and deep metaphorical meaning in the words...the beautiful relationship between Gus and hazel and the fact they were able to share intellect and love and small things through their short time together. Tears often would fall upon reading...I loved their dinner in Amsterdam and their union that they were able to share which all should be blessed to with one they love.  The unabashed enthusiasm of Gus and the way he saw things was wonderful.  A great read.  The fault in our stars is a book worth reading.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RVLY9J1CJUHVL?ASIN=014242417X	Absolutely Amazing.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book honestly takes my breath away somehow it is an amazing love story and at the same time a completely tragic one. John Green has created amazing characters that anyone would fall in love with. I want my own Augustus Waters (well minus the cancer) some people call him pretentious but I think he is amazing not to say he isn't kind of an idiot but if he wasn't he wouldn't be a believable teenage boy. Hazel is just so inspiring an amazing person who is dying but still cares about the others around her more than her own feelings. I'm not the type of person to reread any book but this book I will probably reread a thousand times.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R9AXOS0DJWAPN?ASIN=014242417X	The absolute best in quite a while...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I borrowed this book from the library, along with three others.  Usually I start reading one book for about three chapters, put it aside , and start reading another.  I read about two chapters of The Fault in Our Stars a day for two days--on the third day I  realized that this is arguably the best book I've read  in the past couple of years, and I finished it in one stretch.<br/>I think that good writers tell a good story, but the memorable writers are those who tell a story in a memorable way. And John Green is a memorable, fantastic writer.  I bought the book as soon as I finished reading my library copy.  This one is a keeper!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3LAP83Z57KPHV?ASIN=014242417X	Heart of stone	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is a great book. Every one else says that if you don't cry while reading this book you have a heart of stone, so I guess you could say that I have a heart of stone.  This a book about<br/>two 'star crossed lovers' with cancer. When you come to the end of this book I guarantee that you will cry at the end of this book - unless your me.  I know exactly how stupid that sounds but this definitely is a book worth your time.<br/>I am 11 and I am very academic, and a story to me is just a story. I know it's not real.  I guess I don't cry while reading the sad books because I've never experienced anything like what happens in them.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3CGKGHNS4V8F9?ASIN=014242417X	Wonderfully written, difficult subject presented with insight, recommend for both adults and young adults.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The subject is a difficult one - terminally ill young cancer victims. Sounds like it would be depressing, and it might have been, if the principal characters in this story accepted their fates with resignation and self-pity.<br/>Having worked with teenagers, and some with debilitating and terminal diseases and conditions, I saw first-hand the kind of determination depicted in this novel - to fight against the diagnosis, to win little victories, to exasperate loving and desperate parents, and, ultimately, to live - and die -with some measure of independence.<br/>This is a powerful book, should be on all high school reading lists.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R38P37UGBFTSFY?ASIN=014242417X	Great Read!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This was a great book.  I really can't comment a whole lot on the technical portions of how it was written but it is just one of those books that you get extremely entangled with the characters and their lives.  You don't really want the book to end because you feel like you've become attached to the lives of the characters and  you just don't want that relationship to end.<br/><br/>This book gives you a view into a side of cancer and illness that I have personally really never thought of.  I thought that Green does a great job at sharing a new perspective even if it is one that many of us don't really want to see.<br/><br/>Full Review: [...]</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2ISOYG8C25KCQ?ASIN=014242417X	Teen Fiction for the Ages	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">A compelling read.  I was sold on the characters from their first appearance.  The sadness of the story is sweetened with the humor and the personal quest of the characters to find some meaning to it all.  It certainly made me think about my life and my decisions.  I would love to think that many teens are reading this book because it looks at love and life with real heart.  I think it would also be a good idea to read the book before the movie comes out, because unless some genius can figure out how to look into the human soul and human consciousness and show it on film, the movie is going to come across as merely a tearjerker.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1WK0VU4Q6K24A?ASIN=014242417X	My Thoughts Are Stars And I Cannot Fathom Into The Constellations	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Honestly, the author pertained having fallen in love with someone who is quite extraordinary and fantastic on a number of levels quite wonderfully. The fault, is that ""The fault, my dear Brutis, is not in the stars, but in ourselves."" Although writing this review is most likely pointless, because ""Writing does not resurrect, it buries."" but, I shall write it anyway for the potential readers to tell them that it was quite possibly the best book I have read. It feels like I'm Hazel and this is AIA. Anyway, John Green, I thank you for having such an amazing way with words. Thank you for writing this, it was an epic story.<br/>-K</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3F54QMXI86YC2?ASIN=014242417X	Just buy it.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is one of the best books I have ever read (and I a HUGE Harry Potter Fan...). It took me a long time to just get over the fact that it was going to be sad and just read it. I honestly regret how long it took because it is that much longer that this book was not in my life. If you know someone who owns it and is willing to lend it to you, or if you're considering borrowing it from the library, that's great but I'm going to tell you right now, just buy it. You will want to read it over and over again. Augustus and Hazel are amazing characters and you will grow with them, learn with them, love with them, and mourn with them.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RA19SYHMNF7BJ?ASIN=014242417X	YA Fiction That Transcends Age	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">A sweet and poignant story about laughter, love, and loss. I know this is a YA novel, but I think this is one of those books that transcends age.  It tells the story of terminally ill teens in a way that gives them quiet strength.  It portrays them with power over what they have control over and the story is told in an engaging no nonsense way.  It is a quick read that stays with you long after you are done with the book, it is no surprise they are making a movie based on the book, I look forward to seeing it and plan on bringing lots of tissues.  A good book like this makes you count your blessings and appreciate every day.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1KEWACLTHK30I?ASIN=014242417X	this book is incredible!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is one of the most well-written books I have read that is directed toward my age group! I am (and have been for half of the book) in tears still. I, as Hazel did, fell in LOVE with Augustus Waters (or at least as much as you can LOVE a fictional character) just by reading how he was described. He was so perfect. And Hazel was so perfect for him.<br/>This book also helped me understand (at least somewhat) what young cancer patients go through all the time, and it made me realize how blessed I am not to have this disease.<br/>Thank you, John Green, for writing this book. It was a PRIVILEGE to be able to read this.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R7EWB4EWIM2EX?ASIN=014242417X	Made me sad, and made me laugh....a great read!!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I loved this book.  It was interesting to me because it gave me an inside look on what it would be like to live with cancer.  I liked the character Augustus Waters because he was really funny. I could not put the book down for too long.  I kept wanting to go back and read it every day.  Every chapter left you on a cliffhanger so it kept me interested to see what would happen next.  I can see why it was a best seller.  I also went to see the movie.  However, like the saying goes ""the book was better than the movie"".  I am looking forward to reading another book by John Green.<br/><br/>Isabelle LeBlanc (5th Grade)</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3PYBKWWYLW6OO?ASIN=014242417X	Fantastic!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is one of the best books I've read in a long time.  I have not had the pleasure of reading John Green before, but after reading in many different forums about the anticipation surrounding this release, I decided to give it a try.  I did not put down my Kindle by choice until this book was finished.  I cried, of course, but it wasn't unexpected and it wasn't the sort of depressing book where I want to hide in a dark room after reading (read: Jodi Picoult).  I recommend this book for any age group, don't let the young adult part of the description turn you off.  I'm looking forward to reading Mr. Green's earlier books.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R364TMF1U9WMJQ?ASIN=014242417X	Second book I've ever read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">To say the least I hate reading.. I read this book in 4 days. Obsession with reading would be the least thing that characterizes me. But this story just seems to trap you. You feel for these characters. My girlfriend survived cancer stage 2 Hodgkins Lymphoma and this Girl Hazel Grace Lancaster is her. I mostly enjoyed this book because I fell in love with this fictitious character because she resembled the actual love of my life so much. I legit cried in lime 2 parts of this book and thought I was suffering a mental breakdown I had to reevaluate myself thinking what man cries reading a story. But I loved it. A good read.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3DNT23SSOXZ03?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault In Our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is amazing.  It shows that we should be grateful for what we have. Basically, it's about Hazel, a sixteen year old girl living with lung cancer.  She never wants to come out of the house she just watches tv and thinks about death.  Her mother makes her go to a Cancer Support Group where she meets Augustus, a seventeen year old guy with bone cancer they get to know each other and find out they both have their favorite books. Soon they want to meet the author of An Imperial Affliction who lives in Amsterdam.<br/><br/>This is an absolutely amazing book with tons of twists and turns.  I recommend it to anyone 13+</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R5STJRDI4NBOC?ASIN=014242417X	This book is terrible! I purchased it after reading all the positive ...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is terrible! I purchased it after reading all the positive reviews. I got halfway through the book when I decided that I couldn't read another page!! It's very pretentious. Teenagers do not talk this way and the plot where they go visit an author is ridiculous and takes away from the story line. One other thing that irritated me is I feel like the writer just needed some material to take up pages and make the story longer so he wrote about two of the characters playing video games, over, over, and over again. I don't even want to see the movie after reading this book. I wish I could get my time and money back!</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3OO664E1X23FC?ASIN=014242417X	Bawling will occur	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Just bought this book today, decided to start it while eating lunch at Whole Foods which then lasted 6 hours as I could not stop turning the pages. This is a serious must read that caused me to laugh and bawl (at the same time). I do not cry easily, however this really got to me. Unlike the many other books about death and dying that consist of cliches like ""living each day to the fullest"" and what not, this book was brutally honest. Will be reading this one again. Advice: read this book when alone, I had to endure many awkward ""Are you okay..?"" as I cried my eyes out while eating a cheesecake during the last 50 pages.</span>"
1.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3N6B9K265SH9V?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing book; a must have.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I, probably like most people, have heard so many good words and reviews about this book. So, I ordered it. Let me just say, from the first couple of pages this book had me hooked. I'm not much of a big reader, but I couldn't put it down. I finished it in about 2 days, which is practically unheard of for me. I love how John Green writes, I think the style is perfect. I laughed with this book, I definatley cried, and I love it. I would probably consider it the best book I've ever read in my whole life. And as for the price, I've seen the same paperback copy in store for much more than the price it's for here. Five stars!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2FVB3U8RRAFIT?ASIN=014242417X	Wonderful	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I've never been so moved by a novel.  I downloaded this book after hearing about it from friends on Facebook and seeing it on so many ""Best of 2012"" lists.  I'm beginning to read more of John Green's novels after this amazing story.  I hope you fall in love with the characters like I have and that you are moved by their story like I was. I felt like a passenger along their journey, laughing with them and crying right beside them.  I can't recommend it to enough people.  This is even the first review I've been inspired to leave for a book I've read. Don't take my word for it, read it yourself. You won't be disappointed.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">John Green's book - The Fault in our Stars -""That's the thing about pain, it demainds to be felt."" and ""My Thoughts are stars I can't fathom into constellations."" Although this is poignantly about LIFE in capital letters from the viewpoint of a teenaged girl on the verge of womanhood....with terminal cancer.....it touches the very soul of humanity. Any of us who have come through ordeals - whether physical OR psychological - Know this ""always been terminal"" feel....But this book is breathtakingly about WHY we live!

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1FG1D4CKGZRYK?ASIN=014242417X	This was fantastic...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Certain authors make you feel like you are living life with them. John Green is one who does that for me. He sucks me in and I can't get enough. This is the reason for the 5 star review because it reminded me what it was like to be a kid but it reminded me too what it was like to be angry and hate the rain for falling.<br/><br/>I know these teenagers seemed unrealistic but I imagine in the face of horrific disease and death, you would grow up a little faster than most. He paints the picture of what it means to give yourself over to another person and the severe letdown of having life get in the way of all our plans.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RJ5WW6AXYFSDA?ASIN=014242417X	Excellent Book!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This has got to be one of my favorite books ever. I laughed, I cried, I smiled, and I finished it in a single day despite being incredibly busy because it was just that awesome. The complexities of Augustus made him one of my favorite character to ever grace the pages of any book. Hazel was a strong narrative voice that has stayed with me despite having read the book days ago.<br/><br/>I couldn't stop thinking about it as I read; I was onstage in a musical Friday night, and my thoughts were on TFioS the entire time (thank God I had no lines). I most definitely recommend this book to anyone looking for something worth reading.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2PK9B80WNJVEU?ASIN=014242417X	Poignant, touching & heartbreaking but highly recommended	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I didnt know till after i had finished reading the book that this was meant for 'Young Adults'... I'm an 'old adult', who's normally too diffident to write reviews but this book moved me to tears and touched me deep inside. I think what i liked best about it was that all the characters were very true to life and people you could instantly relate to and empathise with. Hazel, Gus, their respective parents, even Isac...each one so sensitively and realistically portrayed. I would recommend this book highly to everyone but it would have to include a caveat- its desperately sad, so dont read it if you dont want to cry....</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">John green is a genius with his books, this is my second time reading the fault in our stars. I am reading it for a project for school, i chose this book because its a touching love story about two teenagers falling in love with their ""cancer perks"" i recommend this for everyone to read. Not many books have made me cry but this one had me sobbing. IT IS NOT A SAPPY CLICHE TEENAGE LOVE STORY. It actually has emotion in this book. I also recommend ""looking for Alaska"" which is also by john green or ""the perk of being a wallflower"" by Stephen Chbosky. i hope you enjoy this book as much as i did.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R152AD6JOYUV30?ASIN=014242417X	Everything it's cracked up to be, and more	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars is now the third John Green novel I have read, and it was utterly breathtaking. This is the first book that made me cry since the first grade, when that sort of thing was more or less socially acceptable. Reading the story of a group of very philosophical and very ill kids my age made me put my comparatively unimpressive problems into perspective, and I really think that reading The Fault in Our Stars gave me a new appreciation for life. At first I didn't think I would enjoy this book, as I normally don't read sad books, but in the end I enjoyed it immensely. I am so, so glad I read this book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1Z8GZZT1LJU2B?ASIN=014242417X	Moved to tears. Too often.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">As a young woman who has survived cancer, I was actually hesitant to read this. But it is a beautiful work and I cried both happy and sad tears more than once. My favourite thing that Augustus says, that rings true about this thing called life- whether you have cancer,have survived it, or have never had it is this. ""You are going to live a good and long life, filled with great and terrible moments that you cannot even imagine yet!""Because whether you have had cancer or not, that could be the most beautiful thing a 17 year old has ever said. We all want it to be true. This story makes it thus. So happy I read this.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R22EHHL1D9IH4A?ASIN=014242417X	An Emotionally Compelling Masterpeice	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">BUY THE BOOK!<br/><br/>I'm not a writer per se, therefore any review I give it cannot do it justice. I honestly have no words to describes this book's absolute brilliance. Short and to the point, this book is easily on of the single best written of all time, a modern-day Shakespeare of sorts. As I said, I am not the most creative of people when it comes to writing, but if anything look at the sheer numbers: 1 person who voted 1 star (ZERO of 19 people finding it helpful), 3 people rating it 3 stars with very little support shown from others, 6 people giving it 4 stars, not bad, and the a whopping 213 and counting 5 stars.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RAO7DCR72ONE7?ASIN=014242417X	Beautiful	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars by John Green is a beautifully written novel about teenagers, falling in love, cancer and the meaning of life. This book is ""technically"" an adolescent novel. Its beauty and depth make it much more than that. The story, recounted elsewhere in these reviews, is basically about a pair of teenage cancer patients that fall in love. It is heart wrenching, sweet and funny. I work with teenagers every day, and to my ear Mr. Green gets their voice absolutely right. Keep the tissue near by for the last 50 pages. As John Irving once wrote ""We are all terminal cases"". A Must Read!!!!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R12S2W9ADO62H7?ASIN=014242417X	Read With Tissues and a Smile	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is wonderful.  My daughter read it first.  It was recommended to us by my third grade daughter's teacher for my sixth grader to read.  My sixth grader loved the book so much that I read it.  I've recommended this book to everyone who will listen to me.  It is heartfelt, beautiful, real, sad and uplifting all at the same time.  I cried when Hazel was in the hospital for many reasons, I cried for the other characters challenges and losses but I also smiled at how human they all were and how they dealt with their lot in life.  Great story.  It also made me want to go to Amsterdam in the spring - read it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R26PJZDZ82PDE?ASIN=014242417X	Another side of the cancer story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I was encouraged to read this book by a friend who swore I would love it.  She was right.  I loved the characters and the rich vocabulary she had.  I loved her family and the way they nurtured her spirit, vocabulary and dreams but still panicked about her leaving them.  I loved Augustus and his cockiness in the midst of all he had to deal with.  I loved the mystery behind the author and that he kept showing up.  I loved the ending.....<br/>For a book about kids with cancer, it isn't all that sad.  More uplifting and poignant.  I have recommended it to several people and each has loved it.  It's just that good.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RULMUIX6MI27P?ASIN=014242417X	This just became my favorite book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">As a 30something who has been a voracious reader since preadolescence, that's no small feat.  I love John Green, but his work has not blown me away until now.  This book is far superior to his others in terms of complexity, poignancy, and emotional impact.  Usually I love books and they are good while they last, and I move on quickly and rarely look back.  This is the first book since The Hobbit that I want to read over and over again.  I don't mark books but I felt the urge to highlight because some of his lines were so unbelievably well-written.  I would recommend this book to anyone, any age.  SO good. DFTBA</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RVBN4EXY0GCS6?ASIN=014242417X	Good love the book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The book is good. I seen the previews for the movie, but it is a little bit difference than the book. It has a sad part in the middle. There are some strong and bad language in the book so I recommend the book for people 12 and older unless you let your kids. It is a really good book. The part when they meet a author it unravels a secret and some anger through the part. Not trying to spoil it, but reading the book really grabs you and makes you want to keep reading it. Got it twos days ago and finished in two days and a half it is that good. Enjoy. Never repeat some of the language and always try to be polite.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R12WS4JG8BH5I2?ASIN=014242417X	Different	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was unlike anything I've ever read but in a good way. Recently I lost my grandmother but it was to old age. she left her mark on her family. I learned how to be kind, funny, humble, and live like there's no tomorrow. I never questioned what she said when it was out of love. This book shows how real somethings can be. I personally haven't really been effected by cancer but I know of many people who have and this shows many aspects of how it can effect you. I give this book for stars because I too wish k knew what happened to hazel Grace!  However I wasn't surprised in the last to see out end that way.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is the story about a young woman and fellow cancer victims and their families facing the challenges and fears living with cancer brings. I read a review on Medscape where several doctors questioned the validity of the second episode of cancer of the eye that resulted in one of the characters blindness. I was angered by that cold, clinical, medical critique because it missed what this book was all about (and something professional caregivers should be concerned about) ... LIVING with cancer, and the feelings cancer victims and their families have to deal with as they dance the cancer dance together.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3RFYEMWO0JO8I?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing Hazel Grace - A beautiful love story that ended too soon.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">""The Fault in our Stars"" - I'm an adult and didn't want to read this. Not because it was geared to teens, but because of the contact. I hate to get depressed by a book. While this story certainly is sad, it is also up-lifting. I was immediately drawn to Hazel Grace, much wiser than her sixteen years, and understood her reasons for holding herself at a distance. Why connect with someone when you'll be leaving them soon. But Augustus brings her into his world and teaches her to live the life she has left. Yes I cried, but I'm not depressed. I loved John Green's writing and his ability to reach my soul.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2VEN9CIP3Q731?ASIN=014242417X	This book is about Living	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is about living much more than it is about dying.  It's about seeing the finality of life without having finality IN your life.  It's heartwarming and honest, and real.  However, I don't see this as a teen book simply because the characters are teens.  Firstly, they speak like 60 year old literary historians.  As in someone's review -- their conversations are not believable of a 16 and 17 year old.  However, seeing as they are sick, you can picture them as old souls and highly and quickly evolved immature human brains.  It's a quick read with bigger words than any teen book I've ever seen.  Enjoy!</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RI1LEV93VGEBM?ASIN=014242417X	The Characters Came to Life For Me	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">From the moment the book started to the very end, I loved the characters. The detail was just the right amount to join in their triumphs and sob for their setbacks. I could see the ""heart of Jesus"", feel the cool breezes while touring the sights of Amsterdam, smell the liquor on a certain character's breath and hear the wheezing of Hazel's lungs each time she struggled to take a breath. Thank you for bringing these characters to life and sharing them with us.<br/><br/>Oh, and I would HIGHLY recommend the audio version...it is one of the few times I believe the story was enhanced by listening vs. reading.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2WSWXHVEZ2V3T?ASIN=014242417X	Pain is meant to be felt.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">John Green is such an amazing writer. To describe the pain someone feels from sadness but also from illness makes me think he's felt the pain from both. To know pain is to have felt it before, just as to know love is to have felt love before.<br/>The amazing part is you are so caught up in the story that you don't realize that it's not Hazel Grace that is going to die from the cancer, it's Gus, the one who's been in remission for 14 months. You never think that his cancer will come back, let alone come back ten-fold.<br/><br/>Such an amazing story! Definitely one to share and encourage anyone to read!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R37QG919Q7OGZ8?ASIN=014242417X	Poignant story...a must read esp for the die hard romantics!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Usually I never pick a book with a cancer survivor storyline. Usually they are depressing and hit a bit too close to home. This book however has dealt with the subject sensitively yet without overly dramatizing it. John Green has treated cancer survivors as regular human beings who want to be recognized and treated as such. Very well written and though targeted at the YA, will be enjoyed by all! Its a simple story where the relationship between two teenagers plays the pivotal role and the disease the second lead which makes it as realistic as could be. Go ahead and pick it up. You won't regret this one!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1PONYJKXZ3MVB?ASIN=014242417X	Who would have thought you could write a book about teens with cancer that has this much wit and humor?	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Be prepared to get sucked into this book immediately by its clever dialog and sophisticated humor. The young adult characters are intelligent, witty, thoughtful, and admirable. Although the main characters are teens with cancer, you will enjoy getting to know them, watching their relationships deepen, and learning from the ways they deal with illness and the possibility of death. And at the core of this book is a wonderful love story, full of optimism, loyalty, and deep human connection. There are some deeply sad moments but the ending leaves you with a surprising appreciation of life, love, and family.</span>"

My friend recommend it to me and I decided to read it. Best decision I've ever made. I absolutely loved this book and I will admit that I did cry.I don't think I can ever read a book again and like it because I'll keep comparing TFIOS to it.<br/><br/>SPOILER ALERT****<br/><br/>I gave it 4 stars because of the ending, most of the story is about hazel looking for an ending to AIA and never getting one. But Green just ends th  book not telling us what happens to hazel??!! But I still love this book&lt;3</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R36F1ZKF86NH51?ASIN=014242417X	I agree with the hype on this one.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Although I am retired from teaching I would like the opportunity to recommend this book to mature young readers. The subject of chronic and terminal illness in young people is approached and handily covered in a straightforward, realistic, yet heartfelt ""bedside"" manner. The characters try their best to live like other teens and their conversational banter reveals this desire yet the kids who are sick and have been for a long time in their short lives have a tentative grit to carry on for those who love them, and for themselves. I am glad I have it handy on my Kindle. I might read it again!</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RVGTGUAC967S4?ASIN=014242417X	John Green is AWESOMESAUCE.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Whether you have had someone die in your family from cancer or seen someone suffer from the terrible disease is not relevant at all as to how you will feel about this book. Sure, you will see the suffering but it won't envelope the book.<br/><br/>If you can learn one thing from this entire book, please let it be the fact that we are ALL living with a terminal disease. Let's face it. One day each of us will die. Being able to swallow this truth will let you live a richer live and help you realize that what we truly want is a geniune human relationship. Hazel and Augustus have got that nailed down.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RRE1XBOO6DTQ3?ASIN=014242417X	Refreshing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I put off reading this because I have family members battling cancer and I didn't want to read a book about cancer, death, cancer, depression, cancer, dying from cancer, despair, cancer... you get the picture. I'm so glad I finally read the book because I couldn't have been more wrong. Yes, the characters have cancer but the book is not about Cancer and depression. It's about living and laughing and loving despite having a terminal illness. Yes, I cried, but I also I laughed out loud. John Green really knows the minds of teens. I throughly enjoyed reading this book and so did my teenage daughters.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3M4MT528J3BSX?ASIN=014242417X	I wanted to like this	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">1. Plagiarizes bits from David Foster Wallace.<br/>2. Gets extremely basic facts about set theory wrong.<br/>3. Claims some element of ""truth"" that ""generic"" stories do not have, while providing none.<br/>4. Overflows with disconnected, high-school literary references that contribute nothing to the plot or ideas communicated (outside of creating a veil of ""literary quality"" surrounding the work).<br/>5. Contains only one-dimensional characters (most of whom aren't even likable).<br/><br/>The best thing about this book? That it isn't the movie. THE MOVIE IS ATROCIOUS.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R27TTDWNFBBFTH?ASIN=014242417X	Best book I've read all year!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This story is brilliant, witty, insightful and heart-wrenching all at the same time. I really did laugh out loud and cry my guts out. I fell in love with the characters and all the different threads of the story were meticulously woven together into a whole - it's perfection, really. And it was hopeful without resorting to cliche - actually, while laughing in the face of cliche. The only readers who I can see not liking this are those who strongly dislike philosophy. Elements of it reminded me a little bit of the book 'Sophie's World'.... but it was much, much more enjoyable overall. A must read!</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R398RIOBR6EXX3?ASIN=014242417X	A really insightful book!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I am a pretty huge Nerdfighter and John Green fan so I pre-ordered this book. I had no idea what it was about when I pre-ordered it, I just trusted because it was from John Green that it would be good....and I was right! This book certainly had some sad moments and certainly had some funny ones, but there were a lot of very quoteable and moving parts to this book too. I actually picked it up and took it with me to read while my dad was in the hospital having a surgery to remove his cancer. Call it perfect timing! If you are a fan of John Green or just want some good reading I'd suggest this book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2452IKK4Q6WIL?ASIN=014242417X	Just wonderful.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is one of those books that stays with you. I finished this book on sunday and now its thurday and im still thinking hard about it. I have never read a book that made me cry the way this book did either. Its like the characters live inside you as you are reading it and you really feel everything that they are feeling and i could honestly go on about it forever, its just so rediculusly good. If you are thinking about whether or not you should read this book i promise that you should. I am just a regular senior girl in high school and I think it this book made me understand a lot about myself.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">So here I am, nearly a year after I received a kindle fire for my birthday, (and at least 150 read books later) and I am writing my very first review! I have read TONS of books that I have just loved but this book has moved me to my core. I would fail not only you as the possible reader, but the author as well, if I were to try and sum up this book. I failed miserably trying to recall it to my husband before just huffing and puffing and giving up. It has been two days since I have finished and my thoughts are still consumed with this story. So here is my review... READ IT! You will not be sorry!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RCEPUVV8I166M?ASIN=014242417X	A Well Put Book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is so amazing and unusual from other books I have read. It makes you think about life more than ever before and to thank God everyday for what you have. It is tragic but makes me smile from the inside out at the same time. This book is defiantly worth your time. My family has experienced many deaths from cancer so I can relate some to how the characters felt, but then again I cant relate at all because i've never been this sick before. This book shows me how horrible cancer is and how hard cancer patients have to fight just to stay alive. Something most of us take for granted in life.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book has to be one of the most influential and special novels that I have read in a long, long time. Augustus and Hazel's love for one another felt true and definitely tried, despite the obstacles that kept getting in their way. I can't tell you how many times I have bought this book, only because I'd lend it out to a friend and insist that they keep it!<br/>If you are looking for a beautiful, contemporary love story that is on par with ""Titanic,"" then pick this book up!

I actually started reading this when my friend started so we read it together. Whenever we talk to eachother now,we always say ""okay"" or ""its a metaphor"" we always talk about this book now.<br/>I don't cry easily,but this book made me cry... a lot. It felt so real and I wished there love was forever.<br/>but I have to say, I like the not-so-happy ending of the book. I think it makes the book seem more like a reality.<br/>Overall this book was amazing. I dint regret buying this for a second. I never wanted to it down as soon as I started it.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">If you are the parent of a teenager, go into their room and borrow this book now!  Sit down, open the book and enjoy!  It's too bad that a writer like a magnificent writer like John Green doesn't get noticed by people other than young adults.  He is an artist!  His writting is so real so down to earth.  He has the uncanny ability to write from the point of view of a sick teenage girl!  Yet he doesn't make her silly or stupid.  He treats his characters and readers with respect and with love!  I am a new fan and a forever fan.  I will be borrowing all of his other books from my daughter now too.</span>"

It's not only inspiring but it's also in a perspective that I've never even gotten a chance to even think about before, therefor it gave me an opportunity to see lives from others point of view even though this amazing book is fictional. Coming from me, an 8th grader that has a problem with reading, this book gave me hope. Hope to become a better reader, hope to read more books in general, or maybe even just to have connection with the concept of reading. So please read this book and if you don't then you will have no idea on the real concept of what reading is.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3UG832OJAW4VS?ASIN=014242417X	great book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Actually, my daughter ordered this book.  She said it was really good and I should read it.  She was right.  Although classified as a ""young adult"" read, it would appeal to a broad age range.<br/>The book is about (primarily) 3 teens, all around 18, who have cancer.  It really gives one some insight into how someone with cancer, regardless of stage, deals with it, their thought process and how it impacts not only them but their families and others around them. It's not all ""rosey"" but it's not particularly depressing either. It would be a good assigned reading for a class.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R9ST4MWLMZZ8C?ASIN=014242417X	No faults here.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Much like his other works of literary art, I was eagerly enticed from the start. John Green has a perfect way of balancing the need to capture your interest, and keeping it as the plot thickens and you're sent into a maze of spiraling emotions. I feel connected to these characters; as if John documented a year in their lives and then wrote about it. I'd love to see these characters brought to life, but at the same time I don't want to see this seamlessly perfect book fall victim to bad screenplay. Maybe John can direct a movie for it himself. Keep on doing what you do best, kind sir. Okay.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1OQBVR0QAT2VZ?ASIN=014242417X	One of those	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I guess I fathom myself a writer -- it's something that makes my own personal world go round. In all honesty, too many people consider themselves writers, thinking they are spectacular or new. Again, in reality they are not. They are fantastically unspectacular and heinously unoriginal. So when a book comes along that defies these things, it leaves an impression. You do not merely read, but feel the characters, growing beside them and living their lives. And when it ends a small part inside you ends with it. Yet y o u are better off for it. This book is one of those novels. It is flawless.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3PP81CGPLYSS6?ASIN=014242417X	Great sad book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I loved this book, though it made me cry and I had to put it down at times. I don't know if the author had someone very close die of cancer or not but if he didn't he seemed to capture the thought process of a young lady going through a terminal illness well. Some things those of us who are healthy might never think about since we are, well, healthy. An added bonus was finding out in the reading that this story as  based in Indianapolis, Indiana which is my home town as well a  the authors. I recommend this book to anyone, especially if you've lost a loved one, close friend etc to cancer.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1M7053FUQHGAF?ASIN=014242417X	Phenomenal book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is heart wrenching and will steal you're heart. As you go along the journey with Hazel Grace and Augustus Waters through their nice ride on the roller coaster that only goes up you will see their differences understand their suffering and see what true love really is. It's not about quantity, it's the quality of the time and memories they have together. Reading this book killed me slowly and flipped my heart as if it was only a quarter; but I don't regret it a single bit. The Fault in our Stars gave me a different perspective on life and death which I will carry with me forever.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R226UG794MFWW5?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in our Stars takes you into the life two teens who have had to face more in their 16 years than most grown adults. While reading this book I grew strongly attached to the characters and felt like the loss of one was the loss of my own friend/family member. I found myself laughing, and sobbing, as I read the book, and when I was finished reading left with the worst book hangover ever. I'm still not sure if I will read a book as good as this one. I have read Alaska and paper towns but The Fault in our Stars is by far the best of John Green.<br/><br/>P.s I am emotionally stable</span>"

Intrigued, I read the book. I discovered a fresh, down to earth portrayal of a 16-year-old cancer patient's observations and reflections about her experience.<br/><br/>This is a beautifully written book: funny, poignant, and insightful. It did remind me of things Christina would have said.<br/><br/>For those of you that think, this kind of thing doesn't really happen in real life. I was one of you before my daughter died. And truly, things like this do happen.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2DRMZN4515FOW?ASIN=014242417X	YA at its finest	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is heart wrenchingly beautiful. If you know anything about John Green as an author or as a person (via vlogbrothers and such) you can pretty much assume that this book is going to make you laugh and cry all at the same time. It does not disappoint. John has a way of making his characters feel like your best friend in a way that everybody who reads his book can relate to. I highly recommend this book to people of all ages from all backgrounds. However, I don't recommend reading it in a public place as it will literally have you laughing out loud and crying within pages. DFTBA.</span>"

I gotta say that I would never have read this book if these three words were listed in the book description's first line. But, I decided to read the first page of the book which turned into the first chapter and, before I knew it, I had downloaded the book to my Kindle and was devouring the entire thing. The writing style is sometimes sarcastic and witty, but very poignant and I was sucked into the character's world and life. Many tears were shed while reading this book, but it is a must-read. In fact, I'm going to read some other books by John Green soon.</span>"

The story is heartfelt and honest, both funny and sad, and the language is wonderfully thought provoking. Possibly the saddest part is when you finish and realize you  might have trouble finding a book that live up to this one. Don't hesitate to make this purchase; it is money well spent.<br/>If you are interested in this book you maybe a nerdfighter. Do not panic, this is a good thing. Go to: [...] to lean more.</span>"

I basically couldn't put it down thereafter until I read the last page.<br/><br/>I consider myself somewhat of a hard target for touching material, having lost my father when I was Hazel's age to leukemia, but John Green really hit home with the end of this book. I don't like spoiler reviews, so I won't spoil this one, but suffice it to say he knows what he is talking about on the subjects of grief and loss, and I appreciate it deeply.

2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1YXJBVNEBAO2E?ASIN=014242417X	Okay, I Loved it!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">What a wonderful story about such a sad and poignant situation. I had been thinking of reading this book for a few weeks after reading one of John Green's other books and enjoying it. I cried - and I defy anyone reading this book not to finish it without a tear and a sigh. The characters, and I mean all of them (even van houten), were written smartly with the fine detail necessary to impart the soulfulness of the experience they were living with. I recommend this book to everyone no matter your age or gender and I believe you will walk away the better for the reading .....okay? Okay!</span>"

When I originally started reading it, I thought it was going to be like any other book about kids with cancer. How I was wrong. This book shows all the ugly sides of life and, somehow, shows all the beauty within all the ugly. Definitely recommend it; it was worth my money.<br/><br/>The only thing I am deeply disappointed with is, that the movie is starting production, and it was released that the director will be Wyck Godfrey, aka, the director of ""Twilight"". I probably will not be seeing the movie. Actually, I refuse to watch the movie at all costs.</span>"

The first book I read was looking for Alaska and after finishing that, I started this book. It was so wonderful. For those of you who liked looking for Alaska this is the perfect book. John green  is a wonderful writer who does it again with this book. I cried and I laughed and I loved every page because you don't want this book to end. It was very well written and described. I can't wait for the movie this June . The story draws you in on page one and makes you want to read the whole book in one day without ever setting it down. Wow. My Favorite book hands down.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1BMIW9E03K0MY?ASIN=014242417X	A book to make you laugh and cry	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">While the book falls into the Young Adult genre, the intellectual complexity of the novel really surprised me. John Green is not a man who writes lightly. There's nothing I love more than being completely surprised by a story. References to Kierkegaard, T.S. Eliot and William Carlos Williams elevates this epic cancer romance. An epic cancer romance sounds just how it feels while reading it. And if you should endeavor to take this story on then you should know that it possesses the capacity to make you laugh and cry within a three page spread.

That's plain, simple fact. The characters are brilliant, the plot is superb and it will take you on an emotional rollercoaster like you've never been on.<br/>You'll laugh, you'll sigh, you might possibly flail and you'll (almost) definitely cry. So hop on, boys and girls, ladies and gentlemen, and read The Fault in Our Stars!<br/><br/>(Side note: I didn't cry.

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Of course, reading a book that's guaranteed to be heartbreaking doesn't make all that much sense...but sometimes it's refreshing. This one certainly falls into that! It's easy to become attached to these characters and by the end you feel like the type of ""casualty"" referred to within its pages. I don't know how many times I had to stop, take a few deep breaths and wipe away the accumulation of tears that made it impossible to read. I think the most important quality in a book is the author's ability to draw emotions out of you and I will certainly be reading more from John Green!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RKFHUAV2B3HOV?ASIN=014242417X	Wow! Just WOW.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">By far one of the best books I have ever read!! I completely understand why this book is getting such rave reviews. One minute I was laughing and the next, bawling my eyes out. This is one of those stories that completely entrances you and you just get lost in the pages. It was a quick read, mostly because I could not force myself to put it down. The beautiful love story the author creates between Hazel and Gus is unlike any other I have ever read about. Just every little detail in this book was beautifully done and I so wish this book had not ended. It is a must must must read!!!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1E4I8XE0AIWN1?ASIN=014242417X	Inspirational love story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I am the type of reader who will usually only fill my plate with happy endings and positivity. This is one of the only books that I felt truly brilliant in its heart wrenching honesty. I read a few words and was hooked. I can not put into words how it touched me and changed me, but would highly recommend it. I think it takes bravery to read this. I know for myself once I began, I could not stop myself from pressing onward. It reminds me of how you feel after a pent up really emotional hard cry, afterwards the release feels good in the exhaustion, but it was painful getting there.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R39DNLIE8GQYFH?ASIN=014242417X	For people who like clever books	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">After I read another clever, star themed novel, <a class=""a-link-normal"" href=""/My-Life-on-Craigslist-Finalist-of-USA-Book-Awards/dp/1460985826"">My Life on Craigslist: Finalist of USA Book Awards</a> - which I really loved and I highly recommend - I picked up this book because it was shown that customers who read My Life on Craigslist, also read this. I am not a YA fan and I shy away from books with too many reviews, but I am glad I picked it up. I think anybody who is like me and who likes books that really make you think about life, death, love, and our place under the stars would enjoy this book. Great read! Can't wait to read another book by this author.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3DX6PPQ8ZM0TS?ASIN=014242417X	didn't expect to love it	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">So I'm a 33-year old, non-fan of YA novels (typically).  But I finally gave in and read this due to the hype, the movie release and at the advice of some close friends. While typical and expected in so many senses, this book delivers some of the most powerful perspective on dying, the real moments and experiences that make up our lives and the complexity of both love, friendship and parenting. I'm hooked. And oh so moved. Loved this book.  Loved the love story. Love the real, brutal pain -- cause that happens in the real world. I highly recommend this book to anyone &amp; everyone.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R7X7VA3T154WI?ASIN=014242417X	Touched my soul	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I usually don't give rating, but this book is something special.<br/>I choose to hive it 5 stars because it touched something inside, and made me realize how undeniably ungrateful we are. Hazel Grace is an amazing character, she reminds me of what people would refer as "" The New Woman"" in the Victorian era. I wish she had a fresh start, John Green is truly a mastermind in the putting of this novel. Partly I felt a connection with the characters, like I'd implantable my whole life. I really do recommend this book, take it from a 15yr old it will change your perspective in life.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RMMG3W3A9HKNP?ASIN=014242417X	so touching, so clever, such beautiful prose	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I can only join the other 5 star reviews. The book made me laugh, cry and suffer. The guys accept death and live with it, even joke about it. I have no experience with terminal cancer ill people and I would like to imagine, that some of them could take it like the young ones in the book as also their parents. Seems too good to be true , but who knows. Why Van Houten appeared at Augustus' funeral though remains an enigma to me, but maybe it was to give Hazel another chance to tell him off.<br/>I read this book in one night and am now off to find another one of John Green, c u.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RJ4RPJPO8ACAO?ASIN=014242417X	Another winner for John Green!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book grabs you by your heart strings and drags you into an intense love story of two young adults whose cancer stricken bodies are their own worst enemies. With a dramatic twist of events you find that your heart is caught between loving the book and wishing that someone would take a dagger to your now shattered heart and end the misery. John Green not only brings to life the struggles of love and illness but proves to us all that some books bring you to an entirely different world and while it is heartbreaking you would rather stay there forever then move an inch away!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RHJIJXNUI79HF?ASIN=014242417X	It's too Real.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is beautiful in a sad way. Everyone lives to die. I get that, but why... I don't want to spoil anything for people but you will ask why when you get further into the book... John Green is an amazing author and this book really did make me cry at the end. It made me think ""I should start YOLO-ing everything because you never know. You never know what's coming tomorrow or in the next hour."" This was a very difficult book to finish (not for the vocabulary but for the fear of the main character's fate). This story was sad and beautiful. It is a great love story. Okay?</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2EMSVWIN0MOV3?ASIN=014242417X	Couldn't put it down	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I absolutely love John Green's books, and this one was no different. My favorite of them all. This book, of course, was highly anticipated and when I started reading, I definitely wasn't disappointed. I never stopped reading from the moment I opened the book, so it was done in a just a few hours.<br/>This book shows two teenagers struggling with illnesses, dealing with normal teenage situations and friendships, travel, and love. I am not a crier at books or movies, so this did not make me cry, but the majority of people will tell you that tears will fall.<br/>Definitely a winner!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1A8PDT2V1V2O6?ASIN=014242417X	This is my review	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Sometimes you read a sad book and it makes you sadder. And sometimes, you read a sad book and it makes you believe in the power of infinite love and makes you feel a little less sorry for yourself.  I was wallowing in one of those woe is me moments when I downloaded this book.  A book that I thought I had read but hadn't.  To say it moved me can only be an understatement.  The book is not about death, it is about life and accepting the fate and destiny we are given, as s***ty as it can sometimes be, because even in those desolate moments, there is the brightness of stars.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RN0F0ZF86793?ASIN=014242417X	best book I will ever read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I love the love story unlike most love stories you can relate in some ways now I'm not saying I'm sick like they are but yet I do feel the love they have for each other and it's just simply beautiful the book took me through many turns and several cliff hangers some good and some bad it is a happy heartwarming yet heartbreaking story that will forever be my favorite book I will never forget my favorite quotes they use and will probably read the book several more times and also share and annoy my friends and family with the book thank you john green for your amazing story</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R28E70ZH74MJ52?ASIN=014242417X	Wow!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">There's no other way I would describe this book. I bought it and it took me a while to read it. It took me some time to get into  it but once I learned about the characters and their problems I was hooked. I read 60% of this book in 5 hours at work. I cried  I laughed I said as out loud. there were parts in this book when it reminded,me of my family or life. Probably one of my favorite books. I will read this again and again.,It really touched me. The details in this book make you really understand what it going on and you feel like your with the characters!,work of art</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1LLJYY4QWELNG?ASIN=014242417X	Highly Recommend	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is the second book by John Green that I have ever read, and he just gets better and better. A reader can tell from a simple summary of this book that it contains an emotional story. Two young adults meet at a support group for kids with cancer. Of course, the story is emotional, but it does not rely only on sadness for its strength. The characters have depth. They are interesting. They are troubled. They are trying to make meaning out of life, and they do not accept easy answers even when easy answers are in front of them. I liked it. Read it. You will like it too.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RP7VYUCEOFHQ0?ASIN=014242417X	A telling book.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was a real eye opener and helped me see the never-ending struggle that some people are forced to endure in this world. I recommend this book if you're struggling right now. I don't know whether or not this book will help you in terms of coping with struggles or if it will open your eyes to really step into someone else's shoes as it did me. Nevertheless, this was a well-written and, I believe to be, inspirational book. The main character is utterly wonderful and I instantaneously related to her as a person of quick wit and a realist approached outlook on life.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1B7ZBSXNUJQSK?ASIN=014242417X	Achingly Lovely	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is John Green at his finest, you'll laugh, and cry, and feel everything in between. A delicate story which doesn't shy away from the truly awful disease it portrays. Hazel, our dear narrator meets Augustus Waters in a support group for teens with cancer. Hazel has temporarily static cancer of the lungs, and Augustus had bone cancer, which abated once he lost his leg. Together they confront fears of oblivion, the concept of martyrdom, and what constitutes true heroism. If you are not looking for a book that is pressed full of emotional charge, search elsewhere.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3VF7M14CFBSIW?ASIN=014242417X	Beautiful	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Sometimes I find that because I have read so many books its harder and harder to actually feel anything when Im reading something new, because I expect more. This book was my more. It's one of the most beautiful novels I have ever read. It didn't give me everything that I wanted, but it left me with such a great feeling about life, love and the world around me that I feel I've changed as a person just by reading it. The love story between Hazel and Gus is timeless in my eyes, and I thought John Greene did such an amazing job of bringing these two people to life. Bravo.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R5B2LKA9Q6ZWK?ASIN=014242417X	Exceptional in every way.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">A highly recommended glimpse into the the bodies, hearts &amp; minds of teenagers with terminal cancer.  I laughed out loud and sobbed shamelessly while remembering how falling into my first love felt and trying to forget the pain of losing someone I  love.  The storyline is clever, the characters are fully available and true, written for both teens and adults. Grateful that I was given an opportunity to meet Hazel and Gus and vicariously  experience meaningful moments through them.<br/><br/>Thank you, John Green, for making me feel more alive than I have felt in years.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1BQKW3EF3J5M7?ASIN=014242417X	TFIOS	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Oh God. I finished this around midnight, after cracking up, crying, cracking up some more, and then completely bursting into tears. I'm really not sure how to describe this. What I liked was that the book felt... different. It's unlike every book I've ever read. I felt like the writing style kept changing, but I liked it. I really, really liked Isaac. The book would not have been the same without him. He could make me sob and laugh at the same time. I want to say more, but it's quite late, and I'm tired. Just read the godda~~ book, it'll cleanse your soul or whatever.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2VXJO18SXJXAO?ASIN=014242417X	"""All of the things"""	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">As John Green said himself, this book makes you feel ""all of the things.""<br/><br/>The Fault in Our Stars (TFiOS) is brilliantly written and is not your average ""teen novel."" The words flow perfectly and the ideas and concepts are beautiful and thought-provoking.<br/><br/>Filled with love, heartbreak, laughter, sadness, hopelessness, and hope, TFiOS sucks you into the lives of some of the most amazing characters you will ever read.<br/><br/>This truly is an amazing book, and I strongly encourage you to read it (with a box of tissues of course!). Best wishes! (And don't forget to be awesome.)</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2AP2I1D277KG6?ASIN=014242417X	From idealism to realism	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Doubt is the clay out of which faith is made...we do not inherit it. The illusions of childhood and the societal teachings must be examined on the journey of life or ""the life unexamined is not worth living"". I see John examining his journey in this book and being honest with his dis-illusionment of earlier idealism. As a retired pediatrician and psychiatrist, I appreciate John's character development. Helping people experience ""outcasts"" (cancer patients frequently are) as human beings and ""normal"" human beings appreciating them is a difficult feat....John did that!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2U5AKBXQXC7U?ASIN=014242417X	But in Ourselves	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I do not cry during books. Or at least I had not until I picked up this book. I've followed John and Hank for the past year or so, and in this time, I had not picked up one of John's novels. I generally do not like young adult fiction, but because I felt I was not giving John a chance, I ordered this book and gave it a shot.<br/><br/>I have just finished this book. I literally could not put it down to stop reading it.<br/><br/>I laughed, I cried, and I think all I've got to say is that I wish that there were more girls out there looking for an Augustus Waters than an Edward Cullen.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1NZDLKBOZ6W4R?ASIN=014242417X	Green Gets Voice	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Just can't say enough about this book! Excellent narrative style. Terrific plot. It's about kids with terminal cancer and yet it's funny and sarcastic and realistic. It's also brutally sad, but without once trying too hard to wring tears from the reader. I have been a high school English teacher for 20 years, and this is one of the few books I have ever read that gets teenagers' voices exactly right. I would highly recommend this to pretty much anyone, but especially to young adults. It was such an impressive read, I will be teaching this to my students this year.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R33OTP3I1285AS?ASIN=014242417X	Beautiful story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I LOVED this story. I laughed out loud and completely lost it crying. It's so rare that a book has such balance and consumes your heart. The story was beautifully written and I couldn't help but to fall in love with the characters. I found several quotes throughout the book that grabbed me and wouldn't let me go.<br/><br/>Notable quotes (there are so many in this book)<br/><br/>""That's the thing about pain...it demands to be felt"".<br/><br/>""You don't get to choose if you get hurt in this world...but you do have some say in who hurts you. I like my choices.""</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3LE9UXIL7MAXG?ASIN=014242417X	Beautiful and heartbreaking	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This was our book club's selection and it is a beautiful book, but I have to say that it broke my heart. I know it's the ultimate compliment to a writer to have people emotionally invested in their work and this was totally true of this book. It's totally worth reading of course, just be prepared.<br/><br/>My suggestion is to have a book that will make you laugh waiting in the wings (""Where'd You Go Bernadette"" or ""Sex &amp; Suburban Lunacy"" or ""Bossy Pants""), because Fault in Our Stars made me so sad by the finish, I really needed a sure dose of humour after that.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2P17FAXSH3DE9?ASIN=014242417X	Life and death	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is such a great book on so many levels. Hazel Grace, a teenager, is dying of cancer and falls in love with Augustus Waters, another teen also dying of cancer. As they fight cancer, they are grasping for their purpose in this world and the mark they will leave on it before they die. Although their perspective is through the eyes of young adults, it rings true for all if us. Green created such amazing characters that are intelligent, witty, and poignant. I loved this book for it's honesty and true depiction of life and death and the possible meaning of it all.</span>"

Never fallen so hard in love since Eric Segal's Love Story or since Rose &amp; Jack in Titanic the movie. You're left wishing you never read it because you're zoned out for days replaying the book in your head and life's never quite the same ever again.  As surely as art imitates life--I'm compelled to write to John Green to demand a sequel and fill in the blanks. What happens to Hazel? Does she die too? What about Issac? Did Monica return? Did An Imperial Affliction ever get its deserved re-telling to finish the tale?</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3QGHABOAAKM7H?ASIN=014242417X	Just wow	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I thought I was going to have a really hard time reading this because I had heard it was sad. I'm not usually someone who likes and can handle sad books.<br/>This story is written in such a way that the sadness made me want to continue reading that much more. I found myself smiling, laughing and crying all within the same stretch of reading. I could not put this book down and once I got to the ending, I felt satisfied.<br/>I don't like to give stories away, so I will just say to read it and read through the sad moments. This book will leave it's mark on you.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R13QM28CLZ4K1G?ASIN=014242417X	Best. Book. Ever	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is only one of the hundreds of books I ever read, and reading this, this book pulls you in, immersing you into the story. It makes you feel what the characters feel. It is one of the few books I have ever read which made me have feelings while reading, and frankly, this is probably one of the best books I have ever read, and possibly the best book I will ever read. I recommend this book to people who are not emotionally fragile, for this book gave me one of the strongest feelings I have ever had. Joy, excitement, sadness, anger and more. Hope this helps.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R98ZOYOX97DFU?ASIN=014242417X	Heartbreaking Love Story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is such a good book, full of engaging conversations and the real problems of teenagers battling cancer. Hazel's terminal diagnosis is kept at bay with an experimental drug. Augustine is in the survivor category, and he brings love and laughter Hazel never thought she'd find. Their devotion to Hazel's favorite book leads them on a trip to the Netherlands to meet the author. While the ending may appear to be determined by the beginning, the book has a poignant and unexpected ending. This is a book I'll read over and over to enjoy every moment of it again.</span>"

That line drew me into this book, and along with the excellent ratings and critical acclaim, I ordered the hardback version of this book. I almost never buy new copies of fiction books, as I don't consider them in my budget as I will likely just read them once. I'm not sorry that I invested the money in this one.<br/><br/>I'm an adult and loved it. If you're an adult and on the fence about this book, read it. It's wonderful. Great characters, story lines and writing. So many quote-worthy lines too! I doubt you'll be disappointed.</span>"

Loved the recurring line about side effects. Perfect!<br/><br/>I worked with children with cancer for eighteen years. I found the teenagers to be full of hope, but with an irreverent sense of humor and a realistic understanding of the possibilities for their futures. Many wanted to experience love just one time, and some did. They seemed wise beyond their years, having had to grow up quickly to face death head-on. I wasn't surprised by the ending-it was completely real in my experience.</span>"

It's the first book in a long time that I couldn't put down and was sneaking time to finish reading.  Although the primary themes and topics are heart-wrenching, the love story between these two characters was so inspiring.  The way in which the author portrayed these characters, showing their brave demeanor and humor at the same time, all seemed so real and natural.  The writing, although very simple and easy, brought the story to life in a meaningful way.  I highly recommend this book to all.</span>"

Because it is now one of my favorite books, ever.  I purchased this for my kids, thinking if they said there was nothing good to read that I'd hand them this, or one of the many books I purchased for their age range. They haven't read it yet, but I just finished this wondrous, beautiful, poetic, unflinching, sad, happy, well-written, hard to read book.  I've read over a thousand novels in my life, and I loved this as one of the best.  I'm amazed I can still be this amazed by a novel.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R28MA0N0HMNEBO?ASIN=014242417X	I cried	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">It's not often that a book makes me cry. A movie site because it's all happening in front of you. A book...never. how's have time to warm up to the characters and even predict the outcomes. John Greene is almost as unpredictable as Augustus is charming or Van Houten is a jerk. This book is a recipe for water works and personal attachment that leaves me resonating with the characters and asking myself which fate would be better. So I hate you John Greene for making me cry but I love you with more intensity for showing me such a grounded and true love story.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R23FS501VIRHA0?ASIN=014242417X	TFiOS	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">John Green is my favorite author. He is my favorite because of his books I have read I have not been disappointed by one of them (sadly I have not been able to read all of them). The Fault in Our Stars was, in my opinion, believable, and I was able to relate to it despite the fact that, well, I do not have cancer. I became quick friends with the characters and formed bonds with them early on in the story. The bond was what made the lives of the characters so poignant to me. I recommend this to anyone who is looking for a book to become their favorite book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2L8XY7H4Z4N5M?ASIN=014242417X	A Beautiful Piece Of Work	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">There are so many things I can say about this book. So many things. But let me tell you, not ONE of those things are negative. It might have been extremely sad. It WAS extremely sad. But it wasn't without a purpose. Every beautiful word and sentence in this book had a purpose. And even though it was an absolute ""tear jerker"", as they say, none of it felt wrong. Or misused. Or unimportant. This beautiful piece of writing taught me many things. And I am grateful that I took the time to read it. I recommend you do the same. You will not regret it, I promise.</span>"

I've read quite a few books in my time and I can honestly say that I've never been more emotionally attached to a character as I was Hazel. John Green writes with so much passion and emotion that you  fall into Hazel's journey with her. The standpoint of illness he perceives is something completely new. You find yourself not feeling sorry Hazel, but pushing her to fight rather. I would recommend this book to all ages and gender. It'll warm your heart one chapter, then have you crying like a baby the next!!</span>"

But the characters are unrealistic to say the least. It made me cry, smile, laugh, and mourn in a matter of pages. However, like in An Imperial Affliction, the book ends without finishing the book. Readers don't find out whether or not Hazel dies, what happens to Van Houten, anything. I found this hypocritical considering how much Hazel hated not knowing the ending to AIA.<br/>Moreover I thoroughly love this book, even if it had minor glitches.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1ITLS9XSZ76WK?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in Our Stars <3	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Oh, this book. This beautiful, wonderful book. There are reasons why this book is a best seller. Perhaps it's the phenomenal writing. Or the beautiful characters. Both? Definitely both. This book is the best book I have ever read and I have read A LOT of books in my 16 years of life. It made me laugh and cry and laugh again. No matter what type of books you are into, you definitely should make some time for this one. I promise you will love it from the moment it starts to the moment it ends. The only thing I regret about this book is reading it so fast.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1Q4QYHIFWIZMF?ASIN=014242417X	Beyond earthly words to describe	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Being but a teenager, there were many words in this novel that I could not comprehend, but note  that what I did understand was the message John Green was trying to send. It was that we are all pointless,that we cannot hurt, nor help this universe. But the only thing that we can do is recognise it. We need to stop trying to make marks on the world, and start realizing what we can do. I would definitely read this book no matter your age, because the message it sends is universal. This book was truly an eye-opener. And I hope that it spoke to you as well</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R34IXPDHW0DXER?ASIN=014242417X	Fantastic Book!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I am so impressed with this writer. Admittedly, I am a hopeless romantic and shamelessly seek a happy ending in everything I read. I bought this book and sat on it for quite a while knowing I would have to reconcile myself to the tears and sadness I knew would come.<br/>Finally, last night I jumped in and while I wasn't wrong....the tears came as did the sadness... so did the laughter and the love. This book crazy smart, funny, and yes, heartbreaking.<br/>I suspect I'll read it over and over...and recommend it often.<br/>Truly terrific book, wow!!!!</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RRZ5P19N2XZK3?ASIN=014242417X	"""Young adult"" for everyone"	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is a great, emotional read that I enjoyed, even as an adult.  Often young adult books are either a) not well written or b) painfully young and annoying.  Obviously being young is a part of the ""young adult"" novel, but there's a difference between a paint-by-numbers version and a well thought out, beautifully written young adult book.  This one definitely falls in the latter category.  The characters were enjoyable and the plot was interesting and kept my interest.  Be prepared for an emotional read, but one that you will enjoy, no matter your age.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2NUZ9CBMI47EI?ASIN=014242417X	Great book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I truly loved the story of Hazel and Augustus. John Green rewrote beautifully, exploring the lives of a few who have cancer. I feel like Hazel and Augustus could be real people, they were so believable. The only thing that kept me from giving 5 stars was the profanity. I suppose some people use a lot of profanity but I don't know any one personally. It surprised me since this I thought this book was targeted to teens, my own teenage daughter being the one who recommended the book to me. I would recommend TFIOS to young adults and older but not teens.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R7J3EJ8RZ9R0O?ASIN=014242417X	Teen Lit Isn't Just for Teens	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">What a beautifully written book!  I started this as a kindle sample and from the start was hesitant about the subject matter (who wants to focus on depressing situations?).  You can't help but be pulled in by the main character's voice.  Wise beyond her years (because she has to be), Hazel makes you want to follow her story, even though you have a feeling you know where it's leading.  When Augustus enters the picture, you'll be hard-pressed to put the book down.  I read some great books in 2012, but The Fault in Our Stars will go down as my favorite.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2TTM247OYXCX5?ASIN=014242417X	A Truly Powerful Book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">My friends all warned me that TFIOS was a tear-jerker, but, for me at least, they were wrong.  I didn't shed a single tear through the entire tragic book, except for when I read the dedication.  I'm glad he wrote it for Esther, it gave an already powerful book an even deeper connection to real life.  I didn't cry for the simple reason that I was in awe.  I kept having to remind myself to blink while reading it.  When I finished I just sat, staring at the book in my hands, wondering at the inevitability of life and the astounding talent of John Green.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R6Z2T08ZU9LEY?ASIN=014242417X	An amazing book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book has really caught my attention. I was a little sceptic at first but when I started reading  I couldn't stop. I was up till 2:00 AM one night and something bad happened and I layed there crying like a little baby for a while and continued reading. I have literally never cried at a book before. I've never even willingly read a book, but I'm glad I read this one. It felt like I was experiencing the trauma with them, with Hazel Grace and Gus. Truly an amazing book. I'm only in the 8th grade but this is by far the greatest book I have ever read</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R800ZLHVXPMMM?ASIN=014242417X	An Amazing Book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Even though this book is labeled as Young Adult I would highly recommend it to anyone.  It's not your typical teen love story because John Green brings a great deal of wisdom and insight to his characters.  Hazel and Gus are not the usual flat character you tend to see in a lot of YA fiction.  They are well developed and easy to imagine.  This book drew me in and wouldn't let me go; I finished it at 3 am after I started reading around 7 pm the night before.  I am putting it on my shelf for now, but I will definitely be returning to it sometime soon.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R25VRRKVO9Y7KL?ASIN=014242417X	oh my goodness so beautiful	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I loved this book so much. I refer to john green as ""the youtuber,"" but i shall not hover on the thought of him being a beautiful writer. His thoughts are the stars that twinkle across the page, the event to show the truth of what these innocent people are going through. I may be an ignorant ten year old, but these words spoke to me. My relationship with this magical novel is a relationship beyond words, beyond whatever John green could have said. I loved it. May the beautiful couple that looks beautiful live forever on. One love fios&lt;3</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R33I7F0ISX2IA9?ASIN=014242417X	Well of course	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I knew someone was going to die by the end of the book. At first, of course, Hazel was my main thought, but towards the middle, I had this feeling that Augustus would be the one. I'm not gonna lie, but I kind of read the summary so I cheated a little bit. But I am definitely surprised on how it ended and how the character, Peter, actually was! I still cried when Gus told Hazel that his cancer metastasized and almost EVERY sentence after. Can't wait for the movie! I hope every single part, whether it'd seem miniscule or not, will be in the movie! =D</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3HEZMJACNA5KB?ASIN=014242417X	A very special book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Although this is about a serious subject, there are many moments in this novel that will make you smile.  It will also provide some insight into the various ways individuals cope while living with cancer.  I know that it will make me think twice in the future about my words and actions that may be well-meaning, but aren't really as helpful as I had hoped.<br/><br/>The dialog was very believeable and the characters were multi-dimensional.  It was hard to put this book down once I started it.  I would recommend it to high school age through adults.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1NMM42Z6KQYO6?ASIN=014242417X	Remarkable	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">When I had first opened the book, I was kind of waiting for the awe that everyone said I would experience. Little did I know the experience that was upon me. This book is not a happy ending. It is not sex or romance. It's truth, life, and wisdom. Hazel and Gus are deeper than what they appear to be and so are most characters in this book. It's a tough read with a remarkable message that I'm not even sure I get yet. Just read it and make it your own. Thank you John Green you again manage to blow me away with your originality and unique characters.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R315KBDO4YK3VV?ASIN=014242417X	BEST BOOK EVER!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I am a person who never cries during a book , but in this one I was literally bawling so much. I am a teen and if you are too you should for sure buy this book.The fault in our starts has an amazing meaning to it even though so sad. This is such an amazing story including comedy,romance, and it is also very emotional. This book really draws you into reading and its a book that you  cant put down. Its has 313 pages and i finished it in 3 days. I cant describe how much I loved this book. Its is such a beautiful story that I will never forget about.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R35L5U7M0735O2?ASIN=014242417X	Unusual perspective from our children	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">As a physician, I have wanted to write some stories about brave patients, especially children. Here is the story I wish I had written. This is not maudlin! This is funny, adventuresome, inspiring, sometimes confusing, frustrating and beautiful. Recommend this book to people who need to renew their faith in young people and the welfare of the human race.<br/>There is really no sickness here, only love of life as it should be.<br/>Good for old people to read too..lots of memories can be had.<br/>Great language on the pages, clarity is brilliant.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3F51M2SE70DZ8?ASIN=014242417X	Made me laugh, smile, think and cry. AMAZING	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">It just changes your outlook on life. It's really amazing in so many ways.<br/>A great story that just stays with you and makes you really consider things differently. Better.<br/>Didn't read it- listened to the audio book through Audible. The narrator - Kate Rudd- was amazing. She really made the story come to life. All the characters, everything. Amazing.<br/><br/>Couldn't put it down. Listened to the whole thing in two days of just listening whilst walking around my town for hours and hours.<br/>Couldn't break away from it. Simply great.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3NEI034LSL5F6?ASIN=014242417X	I Felt It!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I tell my students any book that makes you feel is a well written book. This is a well written book. I found myself laughing out loud (that's not just text speak) at times and literally sobbing at others. God bless my poor neighbors. They probably think they are living next to a maniac. This was my first introduction to John Green. Now, I am hooked. I can't get enough of his books. Sadly, I think I am only lacking reading one or two of his books. What will I do when I've read through his repertoire? I guess I'll have to reread some of my faves.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1OH7SVZVYY1BK?ASIN=014242417X	A pleasure to read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">A book about teenage kids dying of cancer sounds like a depressing way to entertain one's self, I agree. I'm a crier by nature, though, and didn't find this overwhelmingly sad in the shocking, Nicholas Sparks kind of way. I loves the way Hazel's mind worked &amp; reading her thoughts. Admittedly, I felt like the book was predictable, but I still enjoyed seeing it unfold in my head page after page. I think this might be a good choice for someone dying of cancer, or someone who just enjoys philosophizing about the impermanence of the human condition.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1FBVTNQPMOWNN?ASIN=014242417X	intense	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I have no way to describe this story that would do it justice.  But it is about deepest love, agonizing pain, the most important questions and philosophical answers, all told with wry humor, wonderful vocabulary and literary references, as experienced  and in the voice of a few very special teens.  And for those of us who are lucky enough to have loved and lost to cancer but would do it again, and/or those of us lucky enough to have intelligent, humorous deep-thinking children like Hazel and Augustus, this book was written for you.  And for me.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3S70B9I2LFDN6?ASIN=014242417X	Something so great	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I loved the romance about this book. Their love for each other was so unique. So amazing. I want more. It shows how teenagers can have an amazing love for each other. To show either when sick or healthy you are still able to love and care for each other. I really hope they make a movie for this book. I hate how Augustus died though. But that's what makes it a book. The disappointments and the good things are what makes the book so fantastic and makes you want to read more. This is my favorite book now. It was the greatest book I have ever read.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RLTCG6MLVPZXB?ASIN=014242417X	You don't even understand my obsession with this novel...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read this book in one sitting, which I had never been able to do before (I wouldn't suggest doing this unless you want to be punched in the face repeatedly with feelings, however). I absolutely loved how John Green could so perfectly depict a teenager, and I'm a huge fan of his writing style.<br/>I'm also not a big fan of teen love stories, because they all seem to be way too cliche and corny for me, but words can't even express how much I loved this one.<br/>If you don't read this book, you are making a huge mistake. It's honestly perfect.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3JTBIWWXHAJEU?ASIN=014242417X	More For Older Teens and Adults	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Wasn't sure if I wanted to give this 3 or 4 stars. The story and writing I have no problems with but I think the story became more about a book that both Hazel and Gus read that they wanted answers about. I also think it was a little too deep for. 14 yr. old to read. I intended to have my granddaughter read it but half way through decided it would be the wrong decision. A little too deep and emotional for many youth to deal with. I did like the love story with two ""children"" becoming connected through their cancer and I did she'd tears.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R17WAKR0UAJDPA?ASIN=014242417X	John Green never ceases to amaze	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">*No spoilers :)* The Fault in our Stars is a great addition to my book collection. John Green always delivers, and it is especially true with his newest book. I did not put this book down until I finished. My adventure with Gus and Hazel was a great one: I laughed, I cried, I had fun. TFioS is a moving in-sight into a different world. It may be a fictional story, but to me, there's someone in the world living that story. The story is literally perfect (incorrect use of literality?) and I don't think I'll need to search for a sequel to this one.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3EZXNJRQ3MLFO?ASIN=014242417X	You little....	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Today, I finally finished this book. I wish there was a sequel. Like with that one writer that I can't remember the name of. I wish I would have at least an epilogue. But no, you ended the book like that terrible writer, slightly better though. I hope you know how heart breaking this book is. I cried most the time. Now I know what people are thinking about. I wish Augustus hadn't died, that he lived, but what would have happened if he did. What would the out come of that be. Have a nice life, probably cackling at people like me. But who knows.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3NEFLNHCNOPEP?ASIN=014242417X	Why Mr. Green	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I knew from the beginning something bad would occur to Hazel I had just figured this out from the trailer but what I got was so different from what I expected. SPOILER ALERT Augustus dies in a totally unexpected ending that I felt more saddened about than if Hazel had died because now someone that was so close to her has died and now she is counting down her time. The only reason I give this four stars is because I want to know if Van Houten wrote a sequel, I want to know what happened to Hazel. There is no way the movie can do justice to this</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1G4G124QV0WJU?ASIN=014242417X	Hilarious, pitiful, mind-blowing, heart- touching and everything in between	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">A classmate of mine told me about John Green and this book, saying it is a piece of great modern literature. I never thought that I would agree with him for the first time.<br/>Green' s work is just amazing, and I think everyone in the whole wide world should read it. Really.<br/>Hazel's narration of the so-called oblivion to the letter of Augustus to Van Houten is just WOW.<br/>It's simply just a life-changing story about 2 people who have cancer, who falls into the warm and embracing hands of that extraordinary, stupid thing called love.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RF94SO8OIZIPY?ASIN=014242417X	Wow.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Okay. Wow. That was definitely the funniest, saddest, and most insightful book that I have ever read. Where I usually read adventure and fantasy and manga and classics,  this was so directly meaningful and realistic. Where Van Houten went from inspirational to a dick to probably my favorite character next to Isaac, who hated life and made it better. And then to Hazel, who was tough and made such a horrible situation a moderate one. And Augustus who gave Hazel freedom, strength and courage. I can't imagine anyone buying and reading this book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3MK4KY40DZFF?ASIN=014242417X	Simply beautifully heartbreakingly real.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I, like many others, waited for this book for a long time and the anticipation did not take away from this book. The Fault In Our Stars is beautiful, heartbreaking, funny, honest, and so relatable that it almost hurt to read it at times. This is by far John Green's best work and has already become one of my favorite books. Although this is not a cancer book as Hazel Grace would say, I think if you have been touched by cancer in any way that this book will speak to you. An honest look at what it's like to be 16, falling in love, and terminal.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1LZNHHUSKB1TA?ASIN=014242417X	Heartwarming, Heartbreaking, and a must read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">August Waters steals the show in this book. He is bigger than life and he transcends the cancer that eats at him. He doesn't let it define him and he won't allow it to define his friends. He always seems to know the right thing to do or say to bring his friends not only out of their funk but into an incredible world that only he can create. The world IS a better place with Augustus Waters in it and thanks to John Green, he will forever be in the world. Be prepared with tissues, I think even the most hardened reader will sniffle at this one.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RQ4UAJECHY2OS?ASIN=014242417X	Beautiful and very touching	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I honestly don't know how to review this in a way that would do the book justice.  This story was beautiful, touching, and yes, sad.  There was still a lot of beauty even in the sadness.  Not to sound corny, but it really was one of those books that touches your heart and soul.  Hazel was awesome, but it was Augustus who truly stole my heart.  I was completely surprised at how much I laughed and smiled while reading this.  Even though tears were shed and my heart hurt, I am so glad I read this.  I would highly recommend this book to anyone.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R35RXYHCQSWUH6?ASIN=014242417X	Must read!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I had no clue what to expect when I picked up this book, but I'm glad I did!!! It gives you such an amazing and unique insight to childhood cancer. It really shows you some of the things most of us will hopefully never have to go through, but does happen too much. It shows you just a little bit of something you will never really understand unless you go through yourself, and gives you so much respect for people with cancer. You really realize how strong they are and have to be. I love this book so much, and you will too, so read it please!!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2IZ98DX4H8WDQ?ASIN=014242417X	One of the greatest books I've ever read.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book made me laugh and cry (on the inside) and moved me. It was perfect in every single way possible. It explored death in a way that I had never thought of before, and put the important aspects of life into perspective. John Green is one of my favorite authors and was even before this book. But after I put it down, I felt like I could have read it again. I'm going to end my review now because I can't possibly describe the amazingness of this book to you in words and eventually I'll just start making words up. So, baisically, read it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2DMJVOGU90GDK?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">There are so many reason why this book is fantastic. It is beautifully written, it's characters are fascinating and real in so many ways, it allows you to think critically and ask yourself big questions, and it moves fast enough to keep you from getting bored. It's funny and sad and brilliant. I've read it five times now and still find new things to love about it. I have 3 copies, 2 physical and one on my kindle, just so I can share this experience with them while allowing myself the experience again. I cannot recommend this book enough.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RAH0Y46LF4C6W?ASIN=014242417X	Very cleverly written	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This was an excellent book. A bit over the top in terms of the conversations between the main characters who are a bit weird (their conversations and topics are over the top in many cases!) but overall a very good read; the ending is unexpected and very sad. Of course, we know that these two kids have cancer but I guess that throughout the book we're hoping for a mircle to happen. But it's real life that kicks in instead. I'd definitely recommend this novel to teenagers and would probably use it for a class novel as well.<br/><br/>Lynn</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R26D2E5JKCM13I?ASIN=014242417X	LOVE THIS BOOK	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">John Green does amazing, as always, with his newest book! I've always been a huge fan of them, and since he announced the book on Vlogbrothers, and read the first two chapters, I was hooked. I couldn't wait until I got my signed copy in my hands.  I read the entire book in just a few hours, and then proceeded to read the book again, and again, and again.<br/>This book will take you on an emotional roller coaster. At the end of the book, I felt as if the characters were real, and felt the pain as they went through situations.<br/>GET THIS BOOK.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RO80ASF2JNRL1?ASIN=014242417X	The author takes the difficult subject of cancer and manages to infuse humor with young love	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Downloaded this book from Amazon after seeing it on one of those top read/book of the month lists.<br/><br/>From the onset, the author grabbed me with his laugh out loud lines and quirky,fast paced banter between the lead characters. The big ""C"" is definitely a tough subject to tackle  and this author does it with grace. For anyone who has been personally affected by this terrible disease or have had family members undergone the painful, debilitating treatments, this book was simply a testament to to the strength of the human spirit.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1VCK190Q0R6C2?ASIN=014242417X	Just Fab	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">My friends recommended this book to me. After a failed attempt for the one gal to nab it from the library... I finally bought it against my will. I'm truly glad I did. I will attempt the book gets plenty sad but I just loved it. I'm not even one for the depressing books, yet I put up &amp; balled my eyes out through it. I felt like you could never know what was going to happen next... or maybe that's just absent minded me. I thoroughly enjoyed The Fault In Our Stars &amp; look forward to going back &amp; reading it AGAIN which doesn't happen much.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2ZD7KG9MRMFY0?ASIN=014242417X	Made Me Laugh and Cry	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is obviously not meant to be light. Cancer isn't light. I did find myself laughing out loud at times, though. And at other times, it had me openly weeping in public. The book is beautifully written, and Green allows his characters to tell what feels like an honest story--a perspective on illness that I think is under represented in mainstream literature. The book is also sprinkled with really poignant remarks on life and love and death. And there are moments in the book that are pure poetry. I couldn't ask for anything more.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RMIVZE7OD8GSM?ASIN=014242417X	Beautiful Book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I found this to be a beautiful book.  You already know it is about teenagers with cancer so if that bothers you, don't read it.  The book does exactly what the author intended, which is to make it about the teenagers, not the cancer.  They come alive as regular kids (well, exceptional kids)who happen to have cancer.  It's not about fighting the disease, it's about them.  I am an adult so don't let the fact that it is YA deter you.  I often judge a book by how much I think about it after I finish it, and I think about this one a lot.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R28WKK0N1NYEAU?ASIN=014242417X	Deeply passionate; aggressively intelectual	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The proper ratio of laugh to cry in a book is not hard to achieve. We feel hurt better than we feel happy, so the proper ratio falls somewhere in about 1:4. However well this book meets that standard, I can not statistically attest to, but I can say that it felt like perfection with a splash of champagne. Read and you will know what I mean.  Also, it is a good read if you wish to be content with your mind's quirks and enjoy other's through these characters. It will assist you in leading an examined life and there is no better gift.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RV60SD4FPF3B5?ASIN=014242417X	Misled	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I have heard the author and the actors from the movie discuss this book and story. They all said, “This is not a story about two kids with cancer, it is a story about two kids falling in love."" True, this is a love story, however; every page....almost every sentence is about cancer, disease, treatments, medications, pain, loss, death. This is a story about cancer and dying first and a love story second. I never relaxed into to this story and celebrated their love for one another; instead I suffered and focused on their dying.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2XGBOO0XPCOJ?ASIN=014242417X	Love this book!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I think this is my favorite book ever. Every few months I take it out and read it again! It is a beautiful story capturing a unique perspective on the teenage experience. But most importantly (for me) it transmits, quite perfectly, the experience of being a teenager with cancer in today's society.<br/>When I first read the book I assumed that only cancer survivors would appreciate and be able to relate to this story. Yet as I now see from this book's extraordinary popularity, I was quite wrong!<br/>I highly recommend this book!</span>"

An adult reader who ventures into ya from time to time so that I may discuss books with my niece, I  can safely say I will gift this hjs story to any and all who will accept a book from me.

2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RFJ0OFZ48YVQC?ASIN=014242417X	Some of the most vivid language you will ever read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is a predictably unpredictable story of two teenaged star-cross lovers, who also happen to be cancer patients. What makes the novel so good though, is not the plot, intriguing though it is, but the vivacity of the language, which grabs you and pulls you forward ensuring that if you are able to put the book down, it won't be for very long.<br/><br/>Although this has been classified as a ""young-adult"" novel, I would recommend this heart-wrenching story to all readers, the grizzled and gray haired among you included.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R12L339JYTO456?ASIN=014242417X	Parents, be wary	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Because the teenage girls in my life encouraged me to read the blockbuster book The Fault in Our Stars, I did. At first, I was charmed by the quirky characters and raw honesty. Then, I became disheartened, even angry. Without spoiling the plot for those who might see the movie or read the book, I think parents should have a conversation with their kids about the sexual content. Though this will be portrayed as a love story, parents need to ask their teens what constitutes real love, and do these characters meet that measure. I will say that at least the book does not violate its own moral code - its worldview is very nihilistic, and the teens in this book are true to that. If you believe there is not an eternity, then the only thing that matters is what happens here and now. I am saddened that teens will be charmed by the characters without ever questioning the worldview.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R17EVQW0MK1U4Z?ASIN=014242417X	Awesome	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was amazing. Sad but amazing. I was crying so hard. I didn't even know how to stop crying. It's this love between 2 characters and then when love is put to the test and everything seems to be falling apart you have to use that love and help each other out. Cancer just wants to be alive like everybody in the world wants. You can't blame it. Although cancer can be very deadly it just wants to be alive, searching for something that most of the time will get. That's how the love in this book is. It just wants to be alive.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">As my first John Greene novel, the book surprised me. I had heard many people rave about it, but I am a harsh critic and must read things for myself. The book was written so well and the story line followed as to keep the reader interested throughout the entire thing. I couldn't put the book down. John Greene has a way with words that many people aspire to in this day and age. He made me fall in love, ripped my heart out, and made it,well I won't say whole again, worth having it broken. Thank you my dear friend for the journey.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2G491F6783FTB?ASIN=014242417X	Absolutely Breathtaking	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I've been a fan of John's work ever since I picked up my first copy of Looking for Alaska, so needless to say I was ecstatic to get my copy of The Fault in Our Stars.<br/><br/>I started reading as soon as I took it out of the package and couldn't put it down until I had finished.<br/><br/>I was laughing, crying, and 'awww!'ing my way through the entire novel.<br/><br/>It's beautifully spun with heartache, tragedy, and hope. John even did an amazing job as narrating through a 16 year old girls perspective.<br/><br/>Definitely some of his best work yet.</span>"

I put off reading this book because I knew I'd be a red faced, swollen eyed, slobbing mess at the end of it and I completely was but in the best way possible. I adore John Green and all of the characters he introduces us to, but oh my Jebus, Hazel and Augustus.<br/>HAZEL!!!!!!!!!!!!<br/>AUGUSTUS!!!!!!!!!<br/>ISAAC!!!!!!!!!!!!<br/>Enjoy this amazing book and let it seep into your veins and make you feel like you have the coolest group of friends this side of the milky way.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is the first time I have ever left a review for a book if that tells you anything.  I have liked many books, but I loved this one!  I was on a roller coaster of emotions and I loved every minute of it.  I will cherish the insight of viewing life from someone whose losing their own.  I wanted to highlight so many things in this story and I have never done that before.  The best one is definitely "" the world is not a wish-granting factory."" Feeling so blessed to have stumbled upon this book. Everyone should read this book!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1PFWWGEI7NH8U?ASIN=014242417X	Loved it!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">When I first started this book, I had to put it aside.  I didn't realize its characters were struggling with cancer.  It was too close to home as I am battling stage 4 cancer myself.  But about a month later, I was looking for something to read and went back to it.  I loved the dialogue and the characters and just couldn't put it down.  As difficult as it was emotionally to read at some points, the characters just carried me through.  I don't hang around with many 16-year-olds but I'd love to meet some as insightful as these.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R33YTU8S82GDET?ASIN=014242417X	Can we all just applaud John Green?	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is the single best book I have ever read. In one night I have managed to laugh and cry more than ever in a book and I would not have traded it for anything. There were so many thoughts I had while reading this book and every single one of them was more important than any silly question I have ever asked myself. I am so proud to say I have read this book and I hope that every single person gets to meet their Gus Waters in their life. Bavo John, encore! Really thank you so much, I could not hav asked for more in any book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R5MBS0L1LRF35?ASIN=014242417X	Life changing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book made me literally laugh out loud! It touched my heart in ways a book has never  been able to accomplish. However, not only did I laugh, but I cried. I bawled. I cried  for over two hours trying to continue to read through my tears. I recommend this book to anyone and everyone. It hurts and it touches and it uplifts and it takes you out of the world that you think sucks so much, into a world that should be hated and resented, by  instead it's cherished and feverent to be made the most of. Seriously. Read this book.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1AJGFPKYSRT4E?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing, Life-Changing, Must Read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Not one of the fastest readers out there, but this book was so good that I had trouble putting it down- i finished it in 3 days!  This novel sincerely changed my life (for the better) and put ideas into consideration that I never even thought about.  It opened my eyes.  I hardly ever cry at the ends of books, but John Green's eloquent language and emotion made me cry a waterfall at the end.  This book is so realistic and the reader can feel the characters' struggles and pain, happiness and joy.  This novel is a Must-Read.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2L2QXLU5MEQL9?ASIN=014242417X	I loved this book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">John Green is an incredible writer who knows how to walk a reader through life's harsh realities without manipulating your emotions. This is a beautiful story told from the perspective of Hazel--a 16 year old girl with stage four thyroid cancer--and her unflinching look at life and love as she faces her mortality by living in every moment. Beautiful, funny at times and completely wrought with emotion. This story left me with a heavy heart, but also with a new appreciation for living. And yes, I cried. Well done Mr. Green.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R12233CYX2FDA5?ASIN=014242417X	Very Pleased	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I am not a big reader, in fact the only books I really have read are Harry potter 1-4, Chronicles of Narnia, and of course The Hunger Games.  For my new years resolution, I decided to try reading as many books as I could (I didn't want to set a limit for myself or a unreachable target).  I am very happy that I decided to start with this book!  I fell in love with the characters, the two main characters have such great personalities!  It was very well written!  I look forward to reading more of Green's works in the future!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2WFEE0GEZRFW3?ASIN=014242417X	Brilliant and honest	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Green gives teenagers their due by letting us see what brilliant creatures they are when adults aren't watching. When you work closely with teens for many years you know how resilient they are, how deep their thoughts really can go, and you learn that they do ""notice"" more than we can ever imagine. Thanks to Green we can see their ""thinking""! But.....what happens to Hazel? Do her parents stay together? Does her mom become a ""Patrick""? And what about Issac? I'm booking a flight to Indiana tonight!!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RCPXPS65WZD6U?ASIN=014242417X	Absolute Beauty	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Although I'm a fan of all his work, this is John Green at his best. The Fault in Our Stars reaches a whole new level of perfection. I cannot get over its beauty.  I cried, I laughed aloud, and I just kept turning the pages; simply mesmerized. Mr. Green builds astonishingly real characters that you will fall in love with. It will be something that I read over and over again. It made me think, feel, and ultimately gave me some peace about the ""limited"" time we have here on earth. I must thank John Green for creating this.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1KGN52L7EIPNR?ASIN=014242417X	Excellent Read!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I thoroughly enjoyed John Green's writing! The book journeys through the human experience in a vulnerable, thought provoking, insightful way. Though the aim is for young adults, there are many insights that the author is able to convey that transcend age or demographics. The author's words speak right to the heart of the reader. Green reveals each character's nuances brilliantly and by the final pages, as a reader, you have walked alongside of Hazel and Augustus as a friend. I would highly recommend this book to anyone!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2MJB3Y6HH9R9W?ASIN=014242417X	Excellent, nearly flawless novel.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I absolutely love this novel. There's a mixture of drama, romance, and occasional comedy. I felt like all of the char characters were well-developed and/or at least likable. The The actual characterization itself is also strong, with almost each person talking or acting in a different way than the others. I wish the vocabulary had been a little less simple, but in some cases, it was also realistic that way, because of a teenager telling the story. There are also a number of good quotes. This page-turner is a must-read.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R309D645GI00VP?ASIN=014242417X	The real fault is actually John Green himself	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">John Green managed to single handedly destroy my feelings. I will not be able to move for the next several days, as i will be sitting in bed, contemplating the meaning of life and all the lessons Green implants in this novel. 63,926,471 out of ten stars. I love Green, but I also have to hate him, because I will l not be able to function anymore after coming to love Gus so dearly.<br/>-Sarah, age 16<br/>Also.

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R6MEM00ATEHMQ?ASIN=014242417X	Couldn't Sleep Without It	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I started it yesterday, and within the first sentence, I was in love. I got the audio book to listen to while I had a headache, but my mind demanded to comprehend every word while I tried to sleep. I have had a total of three hours of sleep in the past day, the rest of the time I have been reading and rereading this book, and crying when Augustus dies. You can definitely tell John Green wrote this book. It has the same sarcasm as he does in his Vlogbrothers videos. My favorite book and I highly recommend it. -Cheyenne</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2ZV9IQXHG9O4T?ASIN=014242417X	One of the best books I have read in years	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This story is beautifully written and goes by way too quickly.  I was thinking about the characters whenever I put the book down, and finished it sooner than I wanted, though I *had* to know how the story ended.  It was a wonderful dilemma as a reader, and rarely do you get that chance to enjoy a book so much you hate for it to end.<br/><br/>I laughed and cried my way through this book and am amazed my Kindle still works despite the amount of tears it collected.  Poignant and wonderful.  A great book club book, too.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1OIOWSN2K8WK7?ASIN=014242417X	Grab life with gusto	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This was a wonderful book to read.  I will disclaimer my review that I am * young at heart but not young adult.  I had no expectations of this book, only great reviews, which I did not read.  I jumped into this book.  I smiled, I laughed, I cried.  What a story of life on the terms of reality when dealt the card of illness; cancer to be direct.  Personally, I have been touched since May with facing untimely deaths and this book was just what I needed; another touch of loving reality.  Life is so good...grab the gusto.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3BO2GYIHO0N8U?ASIN=014242417X	Pure awesomeness.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Looking for Alaska is my favorite book of all time, but after reading The Fault in Our Stars, I might have to amend that. This is very stereotypical to say, but it made me laugh, it made me cry, and it left a really big impact on my life. The characters are all so different and lively, and it's really interesting to see the perspective of someone my age going through cancer. Even if you're not into ""teen"" books, I really recommend reading The Fault in Our Stars; it's not your average hormonal-teen-falls-in-love novel.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1QJGJZZUFDOVU?ASIN=014242417X	Utterly Phenomenal	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Not many books have brought me to tears. I consider the ones that have great successes. In order for a book to make me cry, I need a great attachment to the characters, and full absorption into the story. The Fault In Our Stars made me cry at least 10 times, and I wouldn't even consider it a ""sad"" story.<br/><br/>I read The Fault In Our Stars cover to cover in one sitting. This book is John Green's best work yet. I highly recommend it to anyone. Don't be put off by the stigma of the ""young adult"" genre. It is truly fantastic.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2VVXCOYOMRZJB?ASIN=014242417X	perfect, incredible, amazing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">So many people told me that I just HAD to read this book, so I did, and let me tell you, I don't regret it one bit. John Green did a fantastic job. I was worried that maybe it'd be too cliché. It wasn't. I was also scared that the book would end like AIA and I would have an endless amount of questions like Hazel Grace, and I would have to hunt down John green to find all the answers, but luckily that isn't the case. I'm glad that I read this book, and I can not wait to see how well the book is portrayed in the movie.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2JLUTM54M9P8F?ASIN=014242417X	deep	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is one of a kind. It is not really a story as it is more of a life lesson. A book that makes you see the world differently is rare. The character's thoughts are so deep you can see right into their soul, and sometimes you may catch yourself thinking you are really there, or even that you ARE the character. It is not a book you can simply blow through as a time-passer, but one you have to take the time out to read; a book that is for people who enjoy reading. Many of the ideas in this book will stay with me.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2V5MX6LZII4NZ?ASIN=014242417X	Such a great story, I loved every bit of it!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Such a great book! I don't know what to say. It made me cry, it made me want to live life to the fullest, it made me feel all sorts of feelings. Hazel and Augustus are two remarkable characters who understand each other so well. Their bodies have suffered but they try not to let it bother them. There is so much to say, but I don't want to give any part of the story away. It's just a beautiful and well-written story. Yes, there will be tears, but the way you feel after you've read the book...it's almost life changing.</span>"

This book was perfect. I don't know how to describe this in any other way. It took me a looong time to finish this book because I just didn't want it to end...I finally finished it before the movie and boy... finishing the book and watching the movie in one week is something I just don't recommend. I think I just came out of my depression... Please buy this book if you are suffering from an euphoric high and need to come down from it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3RM7K3D8M7XBQ?ASIN=014242417X	this brought me to tears and changed my life!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">CAUTION SPOILERS I can't put into words how this book has affected me.  John Green is a miracle worker in every sense of the phrase.  When Augustus dies, even though he is a fictional character and no one really knew him, I felt like I had lost a huge portion of my life when I read the sentence:  Augustus died 8 days after his prefuneral.  I was shocked and then dissolved into tears.  Augustus deserved many more years than he got in my opinion and he should have spent them with Hazel. ""Okay?"" ""Okay.""</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3QDN0JALXC11K?ASIN=014242417X	Could not put it down!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is a page turner. I had already seen the movie, but I like to read the books too to get more of the author's and character's perspectives. I was pleased while reading to find that Hollywood kept their production authentic and true to the book. I was also very pleased to get an even greater in depth look into Hazel and Augustus' thoughts and feelings. I personally fell in love with both characters and find Augustus' optimism and outlook contagious. Love love love this book. I highly recommend it to anyone!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1BFSAKEH6ZEKS?ASIN=014242417X	An absolutely amazing work of art by John Green	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I don't know how to put this book into words... I started reading this late last night and was unable to stop reading until the very last word. This book made me laugh, and it made me cry. It truly is one of the greatest books I have read. To those who have yet to read this book I suggest that you have a box of tissues nearby. And to the author Mr. John Green I cannot thank you enough for having written such a truly moving book, you truly are an artist, and I wish you the best of luck with your future works of art.</span>"

A great book is certainly one that captures your heart and leaves an impression when it's finished. I think to really appreciate this book, you cannot focus so much on the characters but the perspective of life, of reality, of love, that was wonderfully written in a non-cliche way. My hat is off to John Green for this masterpiece. Insight and maturity are necessities to understand the deep message of this wonderfully breathtaking story.</span>"

It has a wonderful twist to it that was very upsetting however made the book even more interesting. I am so grateful that this book was written. I feel amazing about John Green 's success with this novel. I honestly this should be put as the best book of 2k14! I wish there were so many more novels that had an amazing story line like this. But no, there can only be one of this book. It is absolutely wonderful and I recommend it to anyone. PLEASE READ THIS BOOK, YOU WILL LOVE IT NO DOUBT!!!&lt;3</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R21O5RRLWIQG9O?ASIN=014242417X	The perfect balance	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book did not disappoint in any way. The comical and emotional aspects of the story did not over power each other. It was truly the perfect balance. One minute I'm laughing hysterically, the next, crying hysterically. John Green has this incredible ability to create characters that you find your self irrationally attracted too. I felt like I knew these characters personally. Even minor character had develop such s profound life of their own. This was truly one of the greatest books I've read in a long time.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2NLDZCEQLB2KU?ASIN=014242417X	One of the best books I've read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I picked this book up in a bookstore when I had an hour to kill ... I hadn't heard anything, and had no expectations.<br/><br/>It was truly phenomenal.<br/><br/>As one can see from then &gt;2,000 previous reviews, I'm jumping on a bandwagon. But this story really managed to reorient how I think about life and death (and I'm finishing medical school, planning on a career specializing in palliative care, so this is something I've thought about).<br/><br/>Clearly, I can't speak eloquently ... So, read this!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RLQXGFWTDJGR?ASIN=014242417X	Great book!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Loved the writing, unexpected dialogue, character development and plot of this book. I cried for the whole last half, but somehow the book made me feel really good. I've never had cancer, nor been close to a young person who did (knock on wood), but somehow I felt that these characters represented what it was like--their relationships amongst each other, humor, (sometimes dark) sarcasm and ability to accept the reality of their situation and the fleetingness of life. It made me feel so grateful for my 30 years.</span>"

This is one of those books you find yourself thinking of again and again.  It is poignant and heart wrenching to be sure, but so thoroghly provocative it remains active in your scope of humanity. Mainly you will smile. ..and smile. ..and smile some more. Now and then you can't help but laugh out loud....just don't tell anyone around you that you're reading a book about three teenagers dying of cancer. Note ,too, this is fiction.</span>"

Inspiring. Compelling.  Unique. To say this is a story about teens with cancer, would be as if to call The Grapes of Wrath a story of a poor family. My humble words cannot begin to express my admiration for John Green's writing.  I cannot wait to read more of his work.</span>"

The book is just so amazing you will want read more and more until it's done. The story is sad, but beautiful at the same time, and the story is just amazingly written. You get to see the world from the perspective of a teenager with cancer, you feel like you're her in this story. If you're looking for a new novel, try this one. You will fall in love with it! Can't wait for the movie. I hope it's amazing just like the book is.</span>"

But I could accurately describe those books using singular adjectives and nouns and attempt to express my pleasure. But I couldn't fathom doing so with this book. I suppose I couldn't ever sum it up  to be ""exceptional"" or ""truly amazing"" as my title suggests. Be cause if I could, I would have done a horrendous disservice to John Green 's work. The only thing I could say and have the ability to be the least bit accurate was that I wish I owned it in hardback.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R23OMB1VW6CSDQ?ASIN=014242417X	Ope's review of The Fault in Our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book may be put in the young adult section, but it should be read by everyone.  It is a well written, grab you book.  John Green called into the book store One More Page.  It was so interesting to hear him talk about the characters he brought to life in this book.  In this book, Hazel's voice was so strong.  It was great to watch her take control and express herself in a forward, but not nasty way.  The characters in this book are realistic, have honest emotions.  They have flaws.  I really did enjoy it.</span>"

Just a blurb here and there that my daughter read aloud to me. My daughter, the one that is 15 so hates to read because it takes away from time with her friends on instagram or face time. She actually devoured this book, reading parts aloud because she was so excited by it. Did it make her want to read another book? No. Of course not. But the fact that she knocked this back in two days and wept, and wept, means to me, that it's amazing. Can't wait to read it myself. :)</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R39JBMUVOERYNT?ASIN=014242417X	Beautiful and cathartic, surprisingly deep	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I finally read this after several of my students (I teach high school English) and friends recommended it. I was kind of expecting a Jodi Picoult-type teen angst cancer book, but this was truly a remarkable book. Heartbreaking but not in a cheap way--in a way that felt really, really authentic. I bawled my eyes out for pretty much the last fourth of it, but in a good, cathartic way. I liked the characters, loved the deep dialogue, and believed the love story. It was just a beautiful book. Strongly recommend.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R249FSEUSJI11O?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book ... is... first of all, it's amazing. I saw it so many times and finally today, i decided to read it since it was so short. It has changed my life and i am not even finished with it. I've known so many people with cancer and it's made me change how i look at even them. I laughed and cried during this book and it's because its real. It's the kind of book that makes you feel. I see why its on the list of best books of 2012. It's definitely worthy of the claim. I would recommend this book to everyone.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RRZ2O2E1WDM29?ASIN=014242417X	Worthy	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">There are good books written every day. Books that are sweet. Witty. Happy. Sad. There are even books that get you thinking about things that you don't typically think of. I really like those kind. But best of all, there are these rare books that take you to another world that makes you feel like you're experiencing something special. Like it is some undeniably spectacular moment in time that you are blessed to be of the few who experience it. This is one of them that is worthy of all, and more. Okay, okay.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R33FIGW58OVGKM?ASIN=014242417X	A story that won't be forgotten!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was an incredibly amazing book. I don't know anyone who has cancer, but this book touched me so much.<br/>The characters were fantastic, the story made me laugh on some pages, while on others I was crying, and I was very connected to the book. I finished this book in one day because I could not put it down!<br/><br/>I look forward to reading more of John Green' s books. This is my all time favorite book, if you haven't read it , what are you waiting for?<br/><br/>""This book will be a legacy""</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1GMQTWD0IEQPB?ASIN=014242417X	AMAZING!!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is AMAZING and so sad. I can't wait till they make it into a movie. The characters were awesome and I was so engrossed in the story, I missed my stop on the train several mornings. I think classifying this as young adult fiction will keep adults from reading it and they will miss out. However, all young adults SHOULD read it so they can appreciate their health and empathize with ANYONE who has cancer/any type of health problems. It was truly well written and great for all ages. LOVED LOVED LOVED!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2JK4XDGQ40PZQ?ASIN=014242417X	Absolutely brilliant!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This must be one of the best written books on what is to be a cancer sufferer from a teenage point of view I have ever come across. It has a dry, earthy and cynical humour that takes the pain out of the situation, it just grabs your attention from beginning to end. It is not sanctimonious or fairy-dust type of writing but gritty and real. Mind you, the ending is a shocker, but it's good - not everyone does live happily ever after, and you know what? That's life! I cannot recommend this book highly enough.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/REHS7P7DFKPUY?ASIN=014242417X	Great Read.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I thought this was a really good book, I can't wait to watch the movie. Be warned though, I don't usually cry easy, but I really cried while reading this. I thought John Green did a really impressive job of making the characters believable and I fell in love with them while reading the story. The romance part was a tad cheesy and romanticized, of course, but didn't make me roll my eyes as much as other teen romance books *cough* Eleanor &amp; Park *cough*. I recommend this book if you like young adult novels.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2N6APGDT6OTGU?ASIN=014242417X	one of the best	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">When i started reading this book i was doubting if i would enjoy the story as the characters were in a quite depressing condition. As the story progress, i started loving the characters and their witty banters. This book is one of those books that when you're done reading, you would ponder about life. It makes you think, makes you see things in a different perspective. It is funny, engaging, the characters are lovable/adorable  and it is heartbreaking. I highly recommend this book. it is one of the best.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1RJTM5IC04K7F?ASIN=014242417X	There are no small lives	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Once we live, we must die.  John Green's book has an economy of beauty that is heartbreaking.  This isn't an overwrought deliberate tear-jerker that is emotionally manipulative - quite the contrary. It almost tries to persuade you to stop that crying because all of this living and suffering and dying is completely normal.  The tears weren't for the emotion, it was for the author's ability to penetrate a little into the mystery of life and our tenuous and tenacious grasp on it by the simple act of loving.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1562QKP1WH698?ASIN=014242417X	Thank you	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I didn't just cry reading this book. I cried like a maniac. Fetal position, spooning the pillow, shaking my head repeatedly.<br/>There's so much beauty in The Fault in Our Stars, such a delicate, profound beauty.<br/>I just want to thank John Green and every single one who read this novel and was passionate about it, your word-to-mouth eventually got to me and gave me the chance to witness this pearl. And yes, I'm being corny but, you know what?, I'm also eating a slice of pizza.<br/>Thank you again.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1WLOMOHA8GE88?ASIN=014242417X	One of the perfect books for nerdfighters	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I was not really sure about the book at first...but then instead of just looking at the cover, I actually read the book and fell in love. This book has everything tied in a perfect bundle. It has some mystery, humor, sadness, adventure, and romance. It is by far my favorite book of all time. Oh and a note to people who actually decide to read this, you will NOT be disappointed.This is a book that you will read, without a doubt, more than once. Thank You and have a nice morning/afternoon/day/evening! :)</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1NO0TVMMFUWLS?ASIN=014242417X	Beautifully devistating	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is by far one of my favorites, of course all of John Green's nooks are amazing. But The Fault in Our Stars just gave me such a deep connection to the characters unlike any book I've read before. I felt like Augustus and Hazel were my friends and I peering into their life. This books brought out laughs, thoughts, and tears from me. It is truly an AMAZING book and I would recommend it to anyone, except, I feel sort of like Hazel with all of John Green's books and just want them for myself haha</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R31GHJKJ0CV1NT?ASIN=014242417X	"""I""m on a roller coaster that only goes up, my friend."""	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I bought this book and by the end of the first page I was caught. I read until I finished it within a couple of hours. It was by far one of the most beautiful books I've read in a long time. It was hilarious, touching, morbid, thought-provoking, and definitely a book I will no doubt re-read countless times. I recommend this to all, as a young cancer survivor myself (diagnosed at 8 years and currently 21), please read, you will NOT be disappointed. This book is moving and I love a book that changes me.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RN33Z1YM2OT3Z?ASIN=014242417X	A dogmatic argument for Atheism	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is not surprisingly one of the most depressing and hopeless books I have ever read. What shocks me is<br/>1. I actually read the whole thing and<br/>2. So many other people LOVED it.<br/>I can't even begin to describe the meaningless feeling upon finishing this book and an overall sense that I wasted my time reading it. If you believe that there is any point to life or that a higher power is in any way involved in our existence DO NOT read this book. You will feel empty and very disappointed.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2RMA9VJICLYF7?ASIN=014242417X	Read it	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I don't cry because of works of fiction. I have remained completely dry eyed through things that have left my friends balling their eyes out. Not so with this book. I am talking nose dripping, eyes puffy, face red kind of crying for the last forty pages. Not to sound cliche but at one point I was actually laughing and crying at the same time. I'm not good with words and I can't accurately describe the way this book made me feel so all I will say is this: Read it. Read it because it needs to be read.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1PQXC7HONMRTZ?ASIN=014242417X	Beautiful	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I loved the book. It does make you cry so if you decide to read it I recommend that you have tissues next to you. There is so much that you can learn from this book. You can learn that love truly is forever, and that not everything is always in your favor. I recommend this book for readers who like romances and realism. This story is not like a princess story, it shows you that a happily ever after doesn't always exist. I would very much like a sequel. But then again not everything is in your favor.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1G83YMOQBXZH8?ASIN=014242417X	Faultless	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Incredible! Why are books you love so hard to review? I can't believe this book was not actually written by Hazel Grace! How can a 30 something year old man have captured the voices of 17 year old adolescents so faultlessly. It is almost impossible not to fall in love with Hazel and Gus and wish you were 17 all over again falling in love for the first time but being grateful and aware of just how lucky we were. I wholeheartedly recommend you read this book. It will stay with me for a very long time.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RXOTW1VNB0HXB?ASIN=014242417X	A wonderful, wonderful book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read this book, by chance, only about a week after it was released.  My first impression involved my friend crying through the last hour of a bus ride as she finished - and this book made me sob, too.  After this, I went on to read other of John Green's books, but I still consider this one his best.<br/><br/>This book has topped my list of favorite, well written books of all time, and this comes from someone who enjoys everything from teen romance to Tolkien's Silmarillion.  Well worth reading.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R28ZL347WR4NUC?ASIN=014242417X	Surprisingly good	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is listed for teens but it's appeal is broad. It is one of the most memorable books I have ever read. The characters are so real and likable but the story is heart wrenching without being maudlin or sad. I had no idea what it was about but bought it because it had so many 5 stars. It hooked me from the first page and just kept getting better and better. It's a quick read and I recommend it for everyone. Don't be put off by it being a youth book. It's a brilliant story and so well written.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RIPEVTL4M9QN0?ASIN=014242417X	I love this book...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I didn't think I was going to LOVE it.  I thought it would depress me but I saw the great reviews and wanted something that I wouldn't stall on out of boredom.  As I read I realized that I wasn't going to be able to put this book down until I knew exactly what was going to happen to the characters.  And finally as I read the last page I felt a true sense of loss that I no longer shared space with these people.  I LOVE this book.  It'll stay with me as long I have the ability to access my memories.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R8R1QEVDJK22A?ASIN=014242417X	Sensational as always	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I have always been a huge fan of John Green  since I read Looking For Alaska. His books have never disappointed me and The Fault in our Stars was no exception. I've read each of his books several times. I would recommend any of his books, not just to the young adult generation but to all adults. John Green writes beautiful books about topics univerversal to so many individuals. If you haven't had the pleasure of reading one of his books defintely check them out. I promise you wont be disappointed.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RLCTL5U0PH5FG?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read this book with no prior knowledge of what it was about, and I bought it soley based on the author whom I knew only as a youtuber. When I heard this book was becoming a movie, I quickly picked it up.<br/><br/>And promptly cried my eyes out.<br/><br/>This is a quick read, it was hard to put down! Its a beautiful and heartbreaking love story that hits a lot of emotions. One chapter I was angry, then laughing, and then I would bawl my eyes out.<br/>Its an amazing story, would reccomend :)</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3NQLJN53NMRAM?ASIN=014242417X	I read it in a day.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Every time I wanted into my local bookstore, I saw this book &amp; kept telling myself that I should get it. I've  heard tons of good reviews on it &amp; that it wasn't just a cancer book, but more. So when I got my Kindle, I made it my first purchase. I'm in no way disappointed. This really was one  of the best books I've read. It was sarcastic, it was sad, I laughed, I cried. John Green is amazing. This book deserves its Goodreads choice award. Everyone should read this book. You won't be disappointed.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2V5SYSNBT8F8J?ASIN=014242417X	Absolutely Beautiful	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">When I read this book, I felt what the words meant. John Green had an amazing way or writing and wording things. This book isn't just a read and then be done book. No this book stays with. This book makes you want to do something remarkable, and be something remarkable. It shows you how stupid it is to let fear, pain, and loss hold you back. This book makes you aspire to be an Augustus, or Hazel, with your own young, and reckless love. A love full scars, okays, and eloquently thought out words.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2O16QXTY170RM?ASIN=014242417X	If by love it, you mean it emotionally wrecked me for days, then yes, I loved it.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Seriously. Get some tissues.<br/>Or don't. Maybe you're not a crier.<br/>I thought I wasn't a crier either, but as soon as Hazel talks about grenades, I lost it.<br/>It is a beautiful story of young love (which, I am usually not into AT ALL) and carrying on, living with more questions with answers, and finding the beauty in pain.<br/><br/>Oh, man, just thinking about it makes me get misty-eyed.<br/>Definitely read it before seeing the movie, who knows what the movie will do to this story.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2WZV7G4XMZYH6?ASIN=014242417X	If only for oblivion	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Having grown up in Indiana, I must admit that it was both amazing and nostalgic to read about places I had, up until last year, grown up in and around. The Fault In Our Stars deserves a five star rating because of the timeless thoughts and realities it forces upon us, how life can be cut short and how the families have to deal with it. I laughed, cried, and enjoyed this boom, and although I'm no professional when it comes to reviewing, but I know I will recommend this book to many, many people.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1UW3HQT0SM3IT?ASIN=014242417X	Unbreak my heart John Green!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I don't want to just say that I love The Fault in Our Stars because it's not enough. This book is different in how it makes me feel than almost any other novel I've ever read. It means something to me, reaches me on a different spectrum, and I will forever be grateful that I read it and got to experience it. I will say that Green is brilliant for this novel that didn't feel at all like a novel. I recommend it to anyone and everyone who is presently, or will later be, alive.<br/><br/>*10/10*</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2PEA90JAHRCQ1?ASIN=014242417X	I love John Greene	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is the best book I've ever read!!!  Of course, I've only read 3 books, and the main characters were a boy named Dick and a girl named Jane,  I'm only in the 3rd grade,  but Mr. Green's book is quite readable by my friends and classmates.  Once I get older and read more mature books, this may not be the greatest book I've ever read, and this review may be an embarrassment to me, but for right now it is the greatest book I've ever read, even better than ""Fun with Dick and Jane""!!!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2XEITJQXR781S?ASIN=014242417X	A wonderful read for everyone	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I loved it. Although it was at a lower level of reading for me (I'm 19) it had such a wonderful portrayal of the characters with a story line that makes you take a step back and look for the good in your life, rather than focus on the bad. Hazel was so easy to Identify with and Augustus is just someone people seem to dream about knowing. A wonderful book, I would definitely recommend. Thank you John Green for putting perspective in my life and helping me to be more appreciative f everything.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R35TBAW10K8OPO?ASIN=014242417X	Spectacular book!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is one of the best books I've ever read, by far John Green's best work. I highly reccomned giving this book to your mom, dad, sister, brother, grandma, grandpa, and aunt LouLou, because it a fantastic piece of literature that anyone with the capability to read and comprehend it will love.<br/>The story stays with you long after you've turned the final pages, and the characters are some of the most awe inspiring and interesting almost 3D characters you'll ever find in a book. A 5 star book.</span>"

I think that the moral and the lessons learned in this story are lessons I won't forget. I think this touched me more than it might have had I not been touched, through a family member, by cancer. This just goes to show that we are not immortal we are so devastatingly and breakable mortal. Not only was this a great inspiring  story, it was  a beautiful love story. I someday hope that I could have a love so pure as theirs.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1PTRX91KMK5JZ?ASIN=014242417X	Ohmygod John!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in out Stars has become my favorite book of all time. From beginning to end its a book that tells the honest truth. This book it such an emotional roller coaster, that your brain might get confused. From laughing your butt off to sobbing your eyes out to laughing through the sobs, this book changes your life in some way, no matter how small. The story touched my heart, and with that, the only thing I have to say, is thank you John! Thank you so much for writing this piece of art!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3TVM0ICSGKJJY?ASIN=014242417X	Feels	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Augustus Waters is the type of boy that I want to fall in love with and that I would want my future daughter to fall in love with. He's metaphorical in a poetic, slightly pretentious in a way, but never rude, and it comes off endearing. His love for Hazel is simply beautiful, and the story is full of laughs, smiles, and tears. Like seriously, the further you get in the book, the more the feels on the bus go round and round, but I absolutely love it. This is the best book I have ever read.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R21XG6GXLEI86Y?ASIN=014242417X	Outstanding Brilliant Not Merely For Young Adults	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Astounding, brilliant, true to life. This fascinating journey of teenagers in love sounds sappy as an overall theme, but this tale is one featuring the most captivating teens I've ever met on the page--and certainly in real life. Magnificent dialogue, amusing at times, often wrenching, every word original. This is one not to miss. Touted as a Young Adult novel, but everyone truly NEEDS to read this book. I keep thinking about these characters, over a week since I flipped to the last page.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2Y1HSA6H3HASK?ASIN=014242417X	This book will break your heart.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This was a fantastic book. It is about Hazel Grace and Augustus Waters, two teens that meet at a cancer support group. What I liked most about this book was the writing. Hazel is such a vivid character and the writing really drew me in and made me feel like a part of her life. I became really attached to the characters and it was hard to finish, because I didn't want their story to end. I loved this book. It made me openly weep in public, though, and I didn't even care. It's a must read.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RDAXRN8X0QBDW?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was amazing. I finished it in 2 days. I laughed I cryed and most of all I learned something. Love is something that everyone has. It doesn't matter if u r sick or healthy you have it and that every girl has there own hidden beauty. Over all I loved this book and there is not one part that I didn't like. If it was written a different way it wouldn't be a good book. That way I rate this book at 5 stars. I recommend this book to everybody that loves a sad but beautiful love story</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RAN5K62J1XXMF?ASIN=014242417X	Greatest book ever!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I'm 30 years old and this is one of the best books I've ever read.  The word that comes to mind while describing it is ""captivating"" I'm usually a pretty slow reader but I just couldn't put this book down.  I literally fell in love with the characters and laughed out loud as well as cried in public.  I can't how old you are, what gender you are ... you NEED to read this book.  I'm really looking forward to seeing the movie next month, but I doubt it will be as good as the book.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1CD4C2P8BH4ZF?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in Our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars is an emotional book about cancer. The teenagers faced with the illness are brought to a young understanding about life and death. They make eloquent statements and have witty conversations that I have no trouble believing as I have spoken to very young cancer patients and have often been blown away by their keen understanding of mortality and the beauty and richness of life. It’s a hard painful book, both poignant and funny. It is well worth the box of tissues.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1HOUZNPUU2MBQ?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing book, beautifully written	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is one of the best books I have ever read. It is funny and beautifully written with deep thoughts laced with sadness and humor. The books imagery alone let's the reader imagine a whole new world. The funny thing is, I was told the end, and it didn't matter, because the book was so good. The pages express the cruel reality of life - and death - while remaining un-depressing enough to get capture the readers attention (though I must admit I was sobbing through the last pages)</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RHARWFESNOUJN?ASIN=014242417X	One of my favorite books!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Loved this book. It was amazing from start to finish.  I am a weeper, so yes, I cried, but it was a good cry.  This book was so well written and it tugs at your heart strings in a way I never imagined.  Just went to see the movie on opening night and was so happy with the film adaption.  I absolutely loved the main characters and Gus' wittiness is on point and Hazel's attitude towards life, even with her situation, is inspiring.  A must read.  A book for all ages, even 30 year olds!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R37J0JGYH9SBT4?ASIN=014242417X	Absolutely incredible	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Although I could write about this book forever, I'll keep it short. This book is incredible. Beautiful. Heart wrenching. And shows how things don't always go as expected, but love is love through thick and thin. I bawled my eyes out and have recommended this book to everyone I can. I DEFINITELY would say this is in my top 3 favorite books ever. John Green is brilliant and this book sticks to you for days after you read it. It's a beautiful story, and I think everyone should read it.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This was a book, that once I got into, I could not stop reading, hoping it would never end. I marked so many sentences as favorite quotes that this may just be my new favorite book. I'm 43 years old and enjoyed the young love, crying through Hazel's grief as I too have experienced similar loss.  I cried, I laughed, at times simultaneously. I give it 5 stars because it's only the 3rd book I've stayed awake all hours of the night because I couldn't stop myself from turning the pages.</span>"

I finally decided to read it, and let me tell you one of my best decisions. The story was not just about to cancer kids preparing to die. It is a heart wrenching novel about true love and how it can come in the craziest of times. This epic love story kept me engulfed from start to end. Once I finished I balled my eyes out! This beautiful love story was  by far the best book I have ever read!!</span>"

You will observe Hazel and Augustus as a quiet spirit knowing you will have to leave them eventually, but hanging on to their dear lives long after the words stop.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RVTX8CN8Q3LDR?ASIN=014242417X	Greatly unexpected enjoyment	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">If you are looking for a humorous and heartfelt book, seriously get this! I'm going to have my daughter read it as well. Its such a great story, makes you laugh out loud, have tears in your eyes, but really makes you think about life as well. I dont give reviews that talk too much about a book, but dont read too many of the detailed reviews or you will find lots of spoilers.<br/>  John Green must be a special person to have done such a wonderful ""fictitious"" story so well.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2611HPMM2R4JE?ASIN=014242417X	Seriously good	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I have a no reading bad books policy, I put down books that don't deserve my time. I'm less than 100pgs into this one, and it has already earned completion, I can't remember the last time I felt that way.<br/><br/>I grabbed this in a whim after seeing johns vlog post on the release.<br/><br/>I only bought the hard cover because it was cheaper than kindle version. That makes no sense, I save money, and I can let someone else read it when I'm done. Why can't digital delivery be appropriately priced?</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R261FXFYKUA7ZR?ASIN=014242417X	Earth shattering, emotionally deep, amazingly written!!!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">When I seen the movie trailer I knew I wanted to see it, but was unaware there was a book. Deciding to read the book first with only a slight idea to what the storyline was I was blown away by the story that I read! I read a couple of books a week, but this was definitely one I could not, nor did not put down. It was heartbreakingly one of the best books I've ever read! I love the depth at thought and emotion that was in it! Probably the best book I've read or will read this year!</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1XJXAOZ8I5U5X?ASIN=014242417X	The Best Book Out There	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was by far the best book I have ever read. John Green develops the characters to the point that they seem real. You gain a strong connection with each character, and you don't wamt to stop reading.(i was up until 2 am reading this) For anyone who plans on reading ""The Fault in Our Stars"", be prepared, i have only cried twice while reading a book before this, and i was practically balling my eyes out at the end. I hope you enjoy, because it really is a great book!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1YJINS9NCEGCI?ASIN=014242417X	This novel deserves every accolade it's received so far!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I had high expectations as this book has been heralded as an amazing read.  It did not disappoint.  It's one of those stories that touches your very soul so be warned, there will definitely be tears.  However, John Green writes with such a unique fresh voice that you never want it to end.  It's void of sentamentality but manages to grip you and take you on a journey you will never forget.  It's honest, profound and most of all a fantastic read.  If I could give it 6 stars I would!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R23QJC9G9NOO71?ASIN=014242417X	Fantabulous story of young love....	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I gave this beautifully written story 5 stars because its one of those books that not only draws you in but gives you a feeling of complete admiration for the characters.  Its sad, funny, heart wrenching, but more about strength and the meaning of true first love. It made easy for me to have a connection because I have Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy and I too, sleep with a bi-pap machine and recently had to get a feeding tube.  I look forward to reading other books by John Green.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RWDRF9H3PFG23?ASIN=014242417X	Beyond amazing - a must read!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I strongly believe that a book must feel real, whether it is about fighting demons and monsters or falling in love.  Green has written a book with characters who feel so real that I laughed out loud several times, smiled with the characters, and sobbed when they felt pain.  Then, I went back and immediately read it again.<br/><br/>The best books are ones where you know the characters and you miss them as soon as the final page is turned.  John Green has written one of these 'best books.'</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2H5LIM4QZ55EB?ASIN=014242417X	Beautiful.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I, like Augustus Waters, take pleasure in looking at beautiful people.  I also, like Hazel Grace Lancaster, take pleasure in reading well-written books.  This extraordinary 313 page novel would fit both of their interests and more.<br/>I sobbed uncontrollably , I laughed, I lost myself completely to the book.<br/>It's such an amazing piece, so amazing that it deserves a 3:19AM review from a more than satisfied, tired, and devoted fan.<br/><br/>This Novel and John Green certainly didn't FTBA.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1F3RPLA89HT2S?ASIN=014242417X	Beautiful.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I laughed as much as I cried. So I'm sure my family thought I was going crazy from the constant mood swings. Towards the end I was so emotionally exhausted and invested all I wanted to do was go to bed right after I consumed a pint of Ben and Kerry's and destroyed a box of tissues. But I couldn't put it down. My book has the biggest crocodile tear marks all over the pages, I just couldn't control my emotions. It was a wonderful love story that will stand against the end of time.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R14PS7225LGKMP?ASIN=014242417X	crackling wit, poignant love, deadly cancer	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">A lovely story about the price of love and death. Every character in this story is believable. But the two main heroes here are truly wonderful, and all the more vibrant because they have found each other. Really quite a ride. I was surprised to find tears streaming down my face. And even more surprised, since I had stumbled upon this book quite by accident, to find that it is soon to be a movie. Can only hope the movie-makers do the book justice. Really, a lovely, lovely story.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RYKFN6XCGLBK?ASIN=014242417X	Very Different	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was very different than anything I have ever read, but really good.  The writing is extraordinary and unbelievably clever.  You felt like you knew these characters personally.  I am a ""chick book"" reader and this was different for me.  The love story is hard to even comprehend, but a true love story.  Nothing  ""fluff"" about this.  It made me think about terminal illness and see it through their eyes and hearts.  I would recommend this to anyone to read.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1RWPZUER1VNDK?ASIN=014242417X	the fault in our stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read the copy belonging to my granddaugther. Highly recommended for all ages. Serious subject ( teens with terminal cancer) but funny and sharp as well as sad, and addresses some universal questions - the meaning of life, and whether there is oblivion at the end or something more; whether we should be aiming for the extraordinary, or whether an ordinary life lived well and with love is just as precious. And at the end of the book you will not want to say goodbye to those kids.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2I8IWYFSAX8NN?ASIN=014242417X	This book has taken over my daughter's life	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Thank God it finally arrived!  My 15-year old and her friends are all nuts about John Green and have been reading and talking about the book since it came out.  They have uploaded pictures of themselves opening the Amazon package which the author then wove together in a video montage, and they have forsaken homework and eating so that they can continue reading.  My daughter also insists on telling me the storyline at every opportunity. Apparently this author has the magic touch!</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R26ZI9QD85XEIJ?ASIN=014242417X	UGH!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The writing is horrific. Flowery, the sort of prose an English 101 student trying to show off a new vocabulary list tries to use.The characters are off-putting and unlikable, and the story, while somewhat interesting, is not enough to climb above the terrible prose. Sure, the subject matter is ambitious, but so is the subject matter of the average after school special, and with more success. I finish nearly every book I read no matter how awful, and I am still slogging through.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RFDR5N7U3MKAB?ASIN=014242417X	Excellent, thought-provoking read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I'm not typically a YA reader, but I absolutely loved John Green's The Fault in Our Stars. Yes, I was that blubbering woman who stayed up until midnight to finish the story. Excellent character development with heart-wrenching insights made this book hard to put down. As a early thirty-something, I could relate to the coming-of-age story, as well as, the parental perspective of having a child with cancer. Intimate, truthful journey that I thoroughly enjoyed. I highly recommend.</span>"
1.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1GM6DU6ZCJ5JX?ASIN=014242417X	Celebration of Life	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">A friend recommended this book to me and quite honestly, I may never have read it otherwise. What a tragedy that would have been. The Fault in Our Stars is that book that touches your soul and stays with you until you die and then you die a little easier as you recall the words of Hazel and Augustus, who saw dying as a side effect of what they were made of versus this thing that hovered over their days, waiting to swoop down on them. Five stars is not enough to give this book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R15TWNHAFJZLUG?ASIN=014242417X	Absolutely the best book ever.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I have a tendency to read about two books a week and every book is my favorite until I read the next one, however; this book is by far the best book I have ever read. This will forever be in my top five, if not my number one. This book affected me in so many ways. I dreamt I was Hazel and my boyfriend was Augustus one night. I cried so much in the process of reading. I was absolutely, totally, completely enveloped by this book. It has been a privilege to experience this story.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3972TBIK1IRC?ASIN=014242417X	Wow.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Never in my life has a book made me cry. I cried for some time after finishing this book. My first John Green book, and it will not be my last. Beautiful writing and wonderful characters that you will fall in love with. You can tell a lot of love and effort went into this book. While the concept of the book is simple, the narration makes it a somewhat complex and a very intriguing story. It would be cheesy to say this book changed my outlook on life, but well... it really did.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2VRHGBMTJMOFA?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">You will cry, you will laugh, and you'll do everything in between. The Fault In Our Stars, is a book that will stay with you. You will always remember the love of Hazel and 'Gus. When I first heard about this book I was to busy to read it now,I just finished reading it (for the third time) and I still don't want it to end like it did. In my opinion is like An Apparel Affliction, it has no ending. Your left wondering what happened it Hazel. But over all it was an amazing book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RQJPM0249REIW?ASIN=014242417X	Don't Pass This One Up!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is my new favorite book! It had me feeling everything at once, happy; sad; angry. Hazel and Gus both were very relatable for a young adult. And even though this isn't a ""cancer story"" it does tackle cancer and death it does so in a lighthearted manner, which allowed the reader to feel like it was okay to talk about cancer with those who have it. It was an AMAZING story that I read in one day. I couldn't pu it down. Words can't describe how much I loved this book!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R29IYXB58RSPX0?ASIN=014242417X	Cry fest	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">After losing several loved ones all st once in the past year, I feel I can relate to the message of how those left behind are affected. It is also eye opening to have an insight yo cancer and the mind of someone affected by it. This book is a total cry fest creator but is worth each and every tear shed at the truth gained from learning about the dying and those already gone. Thank you John Green for helping me to understand that a death doesn't mean that they were never here.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2N2TC8P6HG35O?ASIN=014242417X	"""It's a good life, Hazel Grace."""	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I could tell you how much I loved this book, how I covered my mouth and shouted at just the right moments or how much it hurt when Augustus died. However, I can't do justice to the feelings I felt. All I can tell you is that being someone who reads a few books a week when left alone long enough, that this is the best book I have ever read, invoking emotion and thought just like a good book should.<br/><br/>Read it. You'll love it.<br/><br/>""It's a good life, Hazel Grace.""</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2FM3EVA1BWYF1?ASIN=014242417X	Made me cry!!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I liked this book not because I love the writing style of John green but because when I read what the book was about, it was on topics a lot of people don't like to talk about; cancer and death. It was written beautifully enough that we could walk in the footsteps of those who have had cancer but also give us room to imagine a greater story for them. The characters are lovable and unforgettable. Definitely going  on to being one of my fave books along with looking for Alaska!</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1D6WIJ56916JA?ASIN=014242417X	This book is the only book my daughter really liked!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">When I found out that my daughter was interested in reading this book I agreed to buy it for her. I also found out that she has summer reading for her freshman year. She promised me that she would read this book for fun and as one of her summer reading books. In one part of the book she started crying, so that made me happy because I knew she was actually trying to connect to the book. I am starting to read the book on a recommendation from my daughter. It is amazing so far.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RIK0S1DCZMVP8?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The worst book and the best book ever. Words can't describe the beauty of this book. The scary thing is that it happens every day. This book should be more of a non-fiction. It was a beautiful dedication to Esther Earl, who had more of the fate of Augustus then Hazel. This ripped your heart out and tore it to shreds. It was wonderful and everyone should read it. I can honestly say I sobbed most of the way through it, and I loved it to as many pieces as it tore my heart into.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R27FPF411Q9LBS?ASIN=014242417X	Highly Recommend that you read this book!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This was one of the best novels I have ever read. It makes you laugh, cry, and ponder about the things being said in the book. John Green really makes you think about your own life, and how you perceive it. The book itself is just an amazing read. No boring parts, and exciting all the way through. Don't turn it down because it's about cancer, trust me you won't regret it. The book leaves you feeling satisfied, and not sad at all. Definitely recommend this book to everyone!!!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1JPYH1O1UM24M?ASIN=014242417X	Empathy wins the day	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I am not in love with this book, but I really liked it, and shall most definitely be rereading it at some point. What stood out for me was the usage of just the right amount of humour, and the fact that the author had treated his characters with respect. This is the most dignified set of teenagers I have come across on paper. The empathetic portrayal of the protagonists is also remarkable.<br/><br/>It's a relatively light read, and will probably make for a great gift too.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RIT7YF6P26J2G?ASIN=014242417X	Wonderfully written book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I'll keep my review brief since much has been said about it already. This is my first John Green book and I it makes me want to read more of his work. The story is poignant and witty. I thoroughly enjoyed it, I was on a 17 hour flight and I was able to finish the whole thing in one flight. One thing that I thought was a little funny was how worldly the young characters are, which I like but it does seem a little unrealistic. However, it's still one of my favorite books now.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R235DWBCIY82BH?ASIN=014242417X	A larger infinity	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The characters come off a bit unbelievable at times (perhaps too sophisticated/calculated - mostly in dialogue), the antagonist (if you want to call a crotchety ole author that) is way, way over the top, and you know the ending pretty from the getgo (i.e., not the twists, but the sadness)...<br/><br/>a small infinity of problems (and I wouldn't really call the last a problem, just a roadblock for some who prefer happy endings), but the larger infinity is pretty close to perfect.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R7K2A5WFDXY1G?ASIN=014242417X	Awesome....but keep the tissue handy!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I probably shouldn't have read this book, a sibling has leukemia, and  it hit a bit close to home. However, it is incredibly well written and I enjoyed every page,  despite the tears. Don't dismiss this due to the ""young adult"" label, it traverses age. Loved it. Word of advice, don't read on a plane...or in public in general.  You just fall in love with Augustus Waters and Hazel Grace...thank you for this this little infinity.  This will be a hard back copy I keep forever.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2T2BALNZ5156?ASIN=014242417X	LOTS OF TEARS	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was heart-touching. I just couldn't stop reading. I finished it in about four hours. I can relate it to the divergent trilogy, but then again I can't. At first it seems like a cancer story. It forms into a romance story, then molds its way into a comedy story in numerous roles. Next you find tragedy. Finally, a heart-touching, sweet last moment. I love how you can't label this book one thing. Its much more. Nice job, John Green. :) This I'd a lot coming from me.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2S8IJAF0BTG25?ASIN=014242417X	Bittersweet	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I think that I gave it five stars, a) because it deserves it and b) the writing is so memorial and excellent. It's bittersweet.<br/>The things that I dislike, was that it was really sad. But I'm not going to say any spoilers. And, there was a bit of intimacy, but I think the brilliance of the book altogether outdid these small little dislikeable qualities. I love this book, the romance, the humor, and even the bittersweet moments. I recommend it to probably teens and up.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2O6927YYZLY3F?ASIN=014242417X	Fantastic book!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Mr. Green's comedic writing is what drew me in. The main character is sarcastic and whitty, as are all of the characters the further you read. This story is about an unfortunate and sad situation and it really makes you appreciate your own life. Mr. Green has woven a story that's full of depth and honesty. One reason I like this book so much is because of how different the plot is and how different the characters are. You feel like you want to be friends with all of them.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1UMVKXV388Y77?ASIN=014242417X	Not to be missed	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Capturing the essence of a teenager's spirit is a skill few authors do well. Doing justice to one facing serious illness is even more rare. The Fault in Our Stars proves it can be done. Readers well past their ""young adult"" years will enjoy this read immensely. It would be a great read for parents and teens to share - and likely to spark a lot of conversation about the lives of the young characters, and their parents, as they struggle will the pain of devastating illness.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R4LSWOWKHVSPG?ASIN=014242417X	No words	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was hauntingly and devastatingly wonderful. It both damages and heals you simultaneously. It crushes and lifts. It inspires and confuses. And uses the power the power that all books hold in that it can always be talked about in the present tense. There is nothing to say about this book other than that it must be read. It doesn't just ask to be read: it absolutely demands to be read. So do yourself, your soul, your mind, and your loved ones a favor, and read it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1WN70F7VYXVNT?ASIN=014242417X	Loved this book!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was amazing definitely would recommend it to people.  Careful it's a tear jerker!  The thing I loved the most about this book was that it wasn't one of those typical love stories where they meet fall in love and then live happily ever, because that doesn't always happen.  This book had a realist take on life and while you still get your love story it also incorporates that yeah you can fall in love but life is still going to happen, but you can get through it!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R37W5MG8XLV5AF?ASIN=014242417X	Best book of our time	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read this whole book In a day and a half.. call it nerdy, but I couldn't put it down, and with good reason. It's easily the most real and well written book I have ever read. It pulls on your heart strings and makes you really think about how you want to go about living your life. I laughed, I cried, I ached , and I was both happy and sad right there along with the characters of ""The Fault in Our Stars"". I highly recommend it and will re read this book many more times.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I can easily say I read this whole book in one sitting. It's just that good. I wish there were more people in this world who had this different outlook on life a the universe. I am completely attached to this book and the characters will always be remembered by me. This book phenomenal. Gus and Hazel showed me true love, loving people even with their fatal flaws. I could probably go on for days about this book.""My thoughts are stars I cannot fathom into constellations.""</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1DVY4CZMECM36?ASIN=014242417X	Passed with Flying Colors!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">There is nothing that I did not like about this book. It had drama with a pinch of humor which is a very nice combination. John green is an outstanding writer and I now understand why this book has gone viral. It teaches many lesson and shows you different sides of life. This book has a very deep meaning but yet is easy to understand. I am looking forward to reading and seeing more of John Green.<br/><br/>Ps. Check out the song ""The Fault in Our Stars"" by Troye Sivan</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R30KLO8QMT57A5?ASIN=014242417X	An Imperial Addiction	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Quite exceptional, I must stay. The Fault In Our Stars is a tender, heartwarming, and at times, tragic tale of growing up and first love.<br/><br/>The story of Hazel Grace and Augustus Waters will instantly captivate you on first encounter, and leave you heartbroken in the closing chapters.<br/><br/>A young adult novel that is not exclusive to the young. You won't want to put it down, and much like An Imperial Affliction, you'll eagerly anticipate what comes next.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RSQ32RHZS4OBY?ASIN=014242417X	Heartbreaking but Beautiful	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book broke my heart. I stayed up late to finish it because I just had to know what happened. The teenagers in this book have been through SO much and the sense of humor they continue to hang on to is amazing. Even knowing what kind of destiny awaits them. I wasn't a huge fan of the novel within a novel aspect. I never usually like that, but it didnt take anything away from this beautiful story. Im pretty sure this was my first John Green book. It wont be my last.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RP3GZ5EZG7CKH?ASIN=014242417X	Thoughtfully heartbreaking	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read this novel in less than four hours- I was so intrigued by the characters and their plight. A story that's devastating and disturbing as much as it is charming.  To understand the perspectives of the characters families as they struggle together thru such horrible situations, is frightening. What a beautiful love story in an ugly setting. I recommend this book, however I would also recommend you have your tissues ready as you will experience a range of emotions.</span>"

2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R20KSOKGPX7GY6?ASIN=014242417X	it's grand	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The book is very good, I love John Green's writing. It's not cheesy, it's casual, very touching and genuinely interesting.<br/><br/>I have a hardback book in a dust cover. I don't like the dust covers at all, I just don't get the idea. If the dust cover eventually becomes dirty or torn, I'll just have a black hardback book without any drawing on it.<br/><br/>I'd recommend this book to teenagers and adults if they don't mind reading about 16-year-old protagonists.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RVHFVDMXR4Q9V?ASIN=014242417X	Icredible!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This story is quite exceptional. It's heart-breaking and heart-warming(real life heartbreaking). The writing was excellent, although some of the vocabulary was over my head (sad to admit but true), this book made me cry and it made me laugh. I loved the wit between Hazel and Gus, quite smart for their age. Gus showed true courage and I really appreciated the way he handled the crappy things that life handed him. This is definitely an encouraging book and a must read!</span>"

We say ""LOL"" so frequently, and yet how often do we really do it? Well for me, it was 70% of the time I read this book. But I knew the last 30% was coming. I knew the tears would come, and the good byes would be made, and I knew I would have to keep going. And just like Hazel Grace and Gus would say about their love...it was so, so worth it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2E2Y17NZV2N0X?ASIN=014242417X	I'm still crying!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is not only for the young set. There is great benefit to all who read this. It's not only about two teens battling cancer; it's about a lesson to all of us to live our lives every day, every minute. We should be thankful for this time especially if we are lucky enough to find love and be capable of giving. This story is beautiful, funny, heartbreaking and poignant. Gus and Hazel made me laugh, cry, laugh all over again, and cry yet again. I'm still crying!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1G3HNFT4NXCWQ?ASIN=014242417X	The fault In their love	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is a definite tear jerker. I read most of your typical teen romance novels and was quite surprised at how different it was. I wasn't quite sure how but then I hit me... this book is different because of how deep it is. The concepts, thoughts, questions, and scenarios are very deep and force the reader to contemplate what is life, happiness, love (etc.) Overall I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys deep themed literature and bittersweet stories.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1WG1MHM7PY5JI?ASIN=014242417X	heartbroken and happy about it	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">When you start reading, everything seems kind of nihilistic and gritty. Hazel is a bitter person waiting to die. The twist at the end is: she's still alive and not leaving scars. Augustus makes her beautiful to the reader and Gus is the catalyst for change in her life even if her lungs suck at being lungs. John Green's writing is epically impact full and dare I say ridiculously quotable? I highly recommend reading this book and doing so with a highlighter on hand.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3OOAIBA7IK44G?ASIN=014242417X	Deeply-moving	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">A perfect blend of laugh and sadness, a well-written plot, so definitely five stars. Personally, I was intrigued by the book because I wanted to feel how terribly hard life can be in these teenagers' lives. I wish Gus hadn't died, but that reminds me that this story can tell a lot about how life actually is for some people. Eventually, what makes this book amazing is this: love is what saves the characters from dying without being remembered. Well done John Green.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3U4KC2Q44QSMA?ASIN=014242417X	A fantastic read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book will make you cry. I'm not even going to lie about that. But it is so deeply moving . The way it is written is from a unique (and hilarious) perspective. The philosophy and thoughtfulness of the characters will keep you reading until the end, even though the end is slightly predictable. BUT. this book is by no means boring and it is worth every penny. You will definitely be reminded to appreciate everything about your life and the world that you inhabit.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3FQCCELKK9HAN?ASIN=014242417X	Not just a Y/A book...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is described as Young Adult Fiction, but I felt it could appeal to any reader, old or young. The storty is beautifully written, and as you fall in love with the 16 year old characters, it breaks your heart to come to know them and the beauty of the love they share with each other, and with their families. They have a lot to teach us all about what it is like to persevere through the hardships of cancer, and still find joy. I highly recommend this novel!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R31SCVPUOM43O4?ASIN=014242417X	Best book I've ever read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is so amazing!!!! It's John Green's best book!!! It's is the only book that successfully got me to cry (and that takes a lot) I say that anyone should read it if you're over 12. I got this book about 3 months ago an dive read it 4 times!!! No other book can top it. Read it if you like romance novels!!! I would give it a million stars if I could!!! It annoyed me when she recites some poetry, but it doesn't happen that often. READ IT!!!!!!!! YOU MUST!!!!!</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2W9CM4YRBNQTZ?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">My son is a cancer survivor. He wanted me to read this book I guess so I could understand feelings that he was experiencing but could not express.  He also mentioned how he was treated by his peers during his treatment and how far removed her felt from them.  He is telling me something through this book. I love that he trusted me with such an amazing book. Now I like Hazel, want to know more. What HAPPENS WITH HAZEL?  does she live or does she join Gus in heaven.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2W44PNXKWI67C?ASIN=014242417X	this book is Everything	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">By default, a book by John Green will be intelligent, witty, humorous and thought-provoking. But this book was so much more than that. It was the book I always needed but never knew I was missing. It filled holes inside of me that I didn't know I had. It was equal parts heart-breaking and hilarious. I can do nothing but be thankful that John is in existence, albeit temporarily, and thinking and feeling and creating.<br/><br/>I recommend this book to absolutely everyone.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R131LYHE2LN3T1?ASIN=014242417X	SERIOUSLY....	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I have seen this movie and read this book a million times....<br/>Not with the same title, but the same story line. A good book leaves you wanting more, this book left me wanting to rewrite it. what a waste of money to make  movie out of it....  This book is highly overrated and poorly written... Not even a good love scene. I felt like I was reading somebody's short story for freshmen creative writing. The characters lives were so unrealistic. I'm disappointed.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1AHG7LZ0HSCGJ?ASIN=014242417X	Breathtaking!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is absolutely wonderful. I LOVE IT! Some parts of it were sad and others happy, but I couldn't stop reading! This book is the first book I have ever read that has actually made me cry. The thing was I wasn't just crying for what happened in the book but for what happened to the people in the book. There were many parts where I just couldn't breathe because I had read what had just happened! I loved this book and would recommend it to anybody who reads!</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R10Z6I69BR98PF?ASIN=014242417X	TFIOS	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">As it's a book with great character development, a great plot, and dealing with mental/bodily illnesses without romanticizing them, it has made it to my list of favorite books. This was the first John Green Book I had read(I've now also read Looking for Alaska, Paper Towns, and i will soon read An Abundance of Katherines), and I was not disappointed, especially since my book came signed when it was not supposed to!<br/>If you are thinking about reading it, DO!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1THL2J6J828FQ?ASIN=014242417X	It was amazing!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read this is a matter of hours, and it was amazing. I could not put it down. It was definitely a tearjerker. I read it in an airport too, so I got quite a few stares. Hazel is such a relatable character and so determined. Her relationship with Augustus was beautiful to read about, I could feel their love. The book was amazing, and I am very glad it did not end like Hazel's favorite book, An Imperial Affliction. The book definitely deserved a five out of five.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2PREW1R2LJ3MP?ASIN=014242417X	What a wonderful book!!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I rated this a 5 star because it is an outstanding read!  It combines humor with a love story with sad events along the way!  The characters are excellently developed and portrayed and it will tug at your heart strings.  Well read young readers (the book targets this group) will like it and I am really a lot older and I loved the book!  This author, John Green, has a wonderful style.  I am glad he is young so he has a lot of time to write more wonderful books.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1OAZMY2LWAXG6?ASIN=014242417X	Wonderful Book!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book quickly became one of my favorites and something that I'll probably continue to read over and over. I love the author's writing style and how he accurately portrayed the feelings of someone watching their loved ones die of cancer. I have nothing bad to say about this book. I really wasn't expecting to like this book as much as I did, mostly because I'm not that interested in serious books. However, I enjoyed this one thoroughly and even cried a bit.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3OEPWQRO8H35J?ASIN=014242417X	This book didn't forget to be awesome! ^_^	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read the whole thing in a day. This is high praise from me being that I have dyslexia and read kinda slowly.<br/>It was touching and I haven't cried this much since reading the final Harry Potter book. It's beautifully written and I fell in love with the characters, they feel so real and wonderful.<br/>I knew John Green was awesome from watching youtube but I think now he is my hero. He has inspired me to read and write more for sure.<br/>DFTBA!!! &lt;3 &lt;3</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3U9WF3QYDNO9Y?ASIN=014242417X	None	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">At first this book was a little confusing. Not the plot, but all the letters. I admitt, I didn't really read them... It got better, though. I read this book because a friend recommended it to me a long time ago. She read it, and cried. Her mom read it, and cried. I read it, and hysterically sobbed for what seemed like an hour.  This is the only book that has caused me to shed more than a few tears.<br/>If you like sad\happy books, I recommend you read this.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1YVSVJPDC65D7?ASIN=014242417X	Read this book. You will NOT regret it.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">John Green may be a genius. Scratch that, he IS a genius. Never has an author been able to pack so much into one novel, you'll be laughing one second and then in tears the next. I think that this is to par with his first and in my opinion best novel (based off true events) Looking for Alaska. For those of us who are aware of the events of Esther Earl, this will bring back memories of the lost but not forgotten beloved Nerdfighter.<br/><br/>This star will not go out.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3D2F27BM0CMK1?ASIN=014242417X	AMAZING!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Well I cried beautiful tears for these beautiful characters. It was a sad story but there would have been more loss had the events and emotions not have played out the way they did. Like they say (it's better to have lived and loved then to never have loved at all). All of these characters will continue to plague my mind and heart from this day forth. It will definitely be a reread for me and now I will be heading to the movies this week to watch the movie.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R8EFWH2NNHILF?ASIN=014242417X	Absolutely Beautiful!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">One of the BEST books I have ever read.  What I love about The Fault in Our Stars is that it is so much more than a typical novel on life and love.  It brings great meaning to life's great purpose and discusses the difficult topic of death and hardship with ease.  It's an absolutely beautifully written book.  I have never read a book more than once and I have already begun reading it again! You will not regret the experience of reading this wonderful book!</span>"

The characters are richly drawn....I cared deeply what happened to them....and the story line is beautiful and uplifting....an absolutely fantastic book!  I was very sad when I got to the end....and I'll be re-reading it again soon.  I really miss the characters!  Their outlook on life...their insight...and their very sharp wit....all things I'll be missing!!  Can't recommend this book enough....it's very special indeed!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2AEJKQOBZ0K3W?ASIN=014242417X	Sweet, funny, sad, and just right	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was amazing!! It was intellectually stimulating and the storyline was captivating. I'm a nurse so it was nice to understand the references and to get a glimpse of the life of teenage cancer patients. Illness does not define you as a person so it's admirable when people struggle with sickness and can find humor in it, that's living! I highly suggest reading this book...it struck a variety of emotions for me and it will resonate with you as well=)</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2SW7NV5PYLTV?ASIN=014242417X	Winner	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I love young adult lit and The Fault in Our Stars ranks right up there with The Book Thief on my all-time favorites list. It is not only beautifully written, but it makes you care about its young characters and their long-suffering families. Hazel, the narrator, lives on the edge of death and although she talks about giving in to her chronic disease, you know she'll keep fighting. This isn't ""Rocky"". This is real life in the world of Cancer kids.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RU5XRPYVOE833?ASIN=014242417X	"""Near to Genius"""	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I managed to get a hold of my Signed Copy of John's book last night when I came home from university. 8pm - start to read. 1am - laughing and crying like a fool as I read the last page. This book is not near to genius, like that nice man from the New York Times said. This book has completely surpassed genius. Anyone that knows how to read should buy this book. And anyone that doesn't know how to read - go make some literate friends or buy the audio book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3EAQRGDBZN2UR?ASIN=014242417X	no fault in this book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">i knew i would cry when i read this. but i had no idea how loudly i would weep.<br/><br/>john green is a rare and talented poet. he makes every word in this book matter. he has a way of explaining things using little words--but big imagery.<br/><br/>reading this book, is like drinking a glass of champagne--a glass full of stars. my only warning, read it with a box of tissues.<br/><br/>you will laugh. you will cry. then you will cry some more. and days later,  you may cry again.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3EDWZESRWN0L2?ASIN=014242417X	Teen Energy and Wit versus the Trials of Cancer	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars is a quick, easy read and quite humorous for such a weighty subject.  Knowing this would not come to a good end did not darken these young people's stories but rather showed triumph of spirit over a deadly adversary.  Telling the story in the first person from the girl's perspective really kept me engaged as events unfolded.  Well worth reading and these characters stay with you.  Now I want to see how well it was adapted to film.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3V3N7EHSOICP5?ASIN=014242417X	excellent	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I couldn't put it down. Death spares no one, but some live with death hovering relentlessly over them until their last breath. The reality of the side effects of illness and impending death are honestly, hilariously and bluntly expressed by Hazel and Augustus. Their experience will change your view of your own fragile state, have you ponder your own beliefs of an afterlife and of how you're living as you slowly, daily die.<br/><br/>Highly recommended.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R26KPU9OCLMW0M?ASIN=014242417X	Excellently Crafted	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">If you are a fan of John Green, you will love this book. If you aren't, don't let some of the more ""negative"" reviews discourage you. While the main characters aren't traditional teenagers, they weren't meant to be, as they are written as teenage cancer patients who has their whole lives change due to the disease. It is incredibly funny, but serious when it needs to be. You are almost guaranteed to make an emotional connection to the characters as well.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R14AQLPAY7MS0M?ASIN=014242417X	One Of Greens Bests	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I simply can't fathom the love i have for this book. You'll cry your eyes out, laugh till your lungs hurt, and no matter where you are and who your with you just won't be able to put it down. It shows you life death and everything inbetween. I highly recommend you purchase a tissue box along with the book. It makes you realize that theres hope for your terrible love life.(maybe that's only me) Green you've done it again. I can't wait for the next novel.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3EDTF17Y3GKBN?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in Our Stars is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I loved this book. I read it all in 5 hours as soon as the package came. The writing is beautiful, the story is heartbreaking. I just loved it. My favorite book of the year by far (and I have been reluctant int the past to change my favorite book from Harry Potter. That's how good it is!). I would recommend this book to anyone who doesn't mind mild language and content, but really I got past that and it was wonderful!<br/><br/>Best wishes!<br/>DFTBA!</span>"

This book, however, was beautifully written.  There was no ""hero "" or overly optimistic patient or parents breaking down. The writing is raw, emotional and actually funny. It reminds you that if you take the cancer away, these are still just teenagers, kids even, trying to find themselves. I would recommend it to everyone.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1FTTJMNUEZCU6?ASIN=014242417X	An inspirational story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I was given 6 options for summer reading this year, one of those options was this book. I and all of my girl friends decided to read this one. this book was very inspirational and believable. it captures the story of two teenagers who are cursed with cancer at fairly young ages. it follows them through thier lives and really shows how it is like to grow up fightimg cancer. The Fault in Our Stars is well worth reading for any teenager, especially girls.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RCNU321X3YSZ9?ASIN=014242417X	Not what I thought it would be, in a good way.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Despite the huge success and great reviews of this book I resisted reading it as I read for pleasure and don't consider cancer, particularly cancer in children, as a subject of transformative interest. While never trivializing the seriousness of this devastating illness the book gave cancer somewhat of a backseat to the fact that people can still live while they are dying. This wasn't a happy book but it was a hopeful one, an enjoyable story well told.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/REIMEY80TJ1IA?ASIN=014242417X	a young adult book for adults too	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">A touching, in-your-face story about young people who have cancer and courageously carry on living their lives. Hazel, Augustus and Isaac cope w horrendous treatments, stare death in the face and contemplate the meaning of their lives... All the while cracking up readers with their humor, wit and sharing their teenage angst. A well written story, great character development, and lots of twists and turns just like life. I'm looking forward to the movie.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3UQR73XM2BK52?ASIN=014242417X	The best book I'v read in a long time	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book has been out for less than a week and there are already over 160 5-star reviews for it.  I think that says a lot, don't you?  This book affected me like few others have - I laughed through my tears at parts, and fell in love right along with the characters.  I bought it in the morning, finished it by night, and then spent the rest of the evening emailing everyone I know who loves to read, to buy this book.<br/><br/>Buy it.  You won't be disappointed.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RHO6M3WOLSV93?ASIN=014242417X	"""Beautiful, Engaging, Wonderful."""	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is unlike any other I have read. It's insightful, intelligent, and purely John Green. Being a 15 year old teenager, I mostly stick with young adult novels. I can never really connect with most teen Novel's however, but this book...<br/>It was the most wonderful thing I've ever read. The characters are believable, and have flaws. Which I absolutely love. Hazel and Augustus are truly one of a kind characters. I'm absolutely in love this book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RIO9CI2XKUX3I?ASIN=014242417X	Completely amazing!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I've never been a big fan of reading. Before this book I had only read one other book voluntarily which was the hunger games series and loved it. A good friend of mine recommended this book to me but I never thought much about it because like I said I'm not a huge fan of reading but this was such an amazing story! I couldn't put in down finished it in two days and it was absolutely amazing! Defiantly worth the money I highly recommend it to everyone.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2RCGD1H365QHW?ASIN=014242417X	Still a sobbing mess-	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is a beautiful, thought-provoking, read. It feels so organic, so pure and spontaneous, and yet, so well placed. This novel puts things into perspective for me, as a reader, as well as takes me on a journey of ""star-crossed lovers"" and their turns of fate. The first read-through made me laugh, cry, and then continue to cry, even afterwards, because the connection to the characters is so real. John Green has truly outdone himself. Once again.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1JEZYGAD9Y4QO?ASIN=014242417X	An emotional rollercoaster	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Such a greatly written book, the best love story of this decade, it makes you feel happy and after some pages makes you cry. It is a beautiful love story that we be remembered for years! I suggest this book for everyone! I chose to give it five stars because it is an amazing book that i will never forget, i have never felt such intense emotions by reading a book. John Green is just the best! ""some infinities are bigger than other infinities""</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R601DN4WKLAQ1?ASIN=014242417X	Excellent read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Well written novel, very poignant and accessible. In my opinion the author captures the complicated emotions of life, and writes them without being overly dramatic or dismissive. I'm not usually a fan of love stories, because so many are written poorly, but Mr. Green does this one excellent service. Be warned, tissues needed throughout, and probably best not to read on public transportation if you don't feel comfortable crying in front of strangers.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2ORT7NWADPJMH?ASIN=014242417X	Beautiful!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">A story of sacrifice, love, pain and joy. This book though seemingly for Young Adults is as entertaining for adults. The author uses language and metaphors that leave you captivated. The characters come alive so effortlessly with John Green that you can nearly touch and feel them like in a movie.<br/>Though the book is beautiful the plot is a love story between two cancer patients and book leaves you with an immense sadness and fear of the disease.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RIFXT8MH9HBTC?ASIN=014242417X	Exceptional	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book doesn't make me understand what it's like to have cancer. But it does make me understand that I will never know what it's like to have cancer. And believe it or not, this knowledge, along with innumerable other parts of this story, has provided me with insight that I formerly did not have; of life and of the universe. Read the book, then reread this review, and find its meaning. And remember, what may look like a pipe is not always a pipe.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Started last night... finished early this morning.<br/>The characters will stay with me for a long time.<br/>I'm a middle-aged mom of two and thought a lot of this book from the mom's perspective.  I just can't imagine and hope I never have to.<br/>It was a beautiful book and took me back to being 16 and so in love you thought you would explode.  To feel that sort of love, but know that there is no future for it... John Green captured these emotions so well.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2FIJ4BMLYNURZ?ASIN=014242417X	No fault in this book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The characters in this book are smart and lovable teenagers. For that reason I found it slightly unrealistic, but it is a truly wonderful read nonetheless. The topics are cancer and love, and at times the story is quite sad, but it is more often tongue-in-cheek and delightfully sarcastic (it is narrated by a teenage girl). Highly recommended for adults and young adults. You'll probably learn some new vocabulary from these teens, such as 'hamartia.'</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1LAACZPSXT5HL?ASIN=014242417X	Real	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is deep, but not maudlin. There is no over the top emotionality that distracts from the real, intense emotion of the characters and their story. The characters approach their situations with the humor and anger and joy and helplessness those of us familiar with the side effect of death called cancer know all too well.<br/><br/>More than a coming of age or epic personal journey, Hazel and Augustus' story is a slice of life: real and raw.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R9CMXKX07SMYH?ASIN=014242417X	Empathetic, laced with tears and laughter	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read this book within 24 hours. It's beautifully written and I especially liked the way the protagonists were able to voice their opinions on life, love and death so intelligibly. It's hard to not feel empathy for them and I cried and laughed with them. It is true what critics say that ""John Green writes for youth, not to youth"". He helps them to form a voice. John Green manages to give us a silver lining on an otherwise depressing topic; cancer.</span>"

Ever since then, I have been reading all night and sneaking it at the table so I wouldn't have to stop reading. When I did finish, I felt like turning back to the beginning and going through that whole journey again. And for anyone who is about to read this book, keep the Kleenex near you.</span>"

I have about 80 pages left (which won't take long at all). I love John Green's eloquence in writing this book. He insured that it is philosophical yet light-hearted, romantic yet not too sappy, and most importantly, it is quite funny. Thank you, John Green, for being among my favorite authors; I hope to read more from you in the future.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">While book seemed to start out a little slow, it picked up the pace very quickly and held my attention to the very end...now...there needs to be a sequel. As a survivor myself, I could relate to the characters and I would definitely recommend this book to teenagers who have been afflicted with or knows some with cancer. A powerful book that makes you want to look twice at what life as to offer so as to make and leave your own mark in the world...</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2HI9S2YH706NQ?ASIN=014242417X	Excellent read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Although the storyline is a tragic one, the author handles it with loving care and infuses young hearts with genuine feelings that affirm not all young love is ""puppy"" love. The main characters are well developed and their actions and reactions revolve around wisdom beyond their years.  Often victims living with their limitations and challenges at such a young age must grow up fast and the author showed these young people up for the task.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3IP8MEMKDHXBS?ASIN=014242417X	It opened my eyes	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I rated the book because it was very absorbing I cared about the characters. I loved their intelligence it also made me understand  the way the youth of today looks at  death. I'm sure not all but  it appeals to a number of young people.<br/><br/> It opened dialogue with myself and my granddaughter who is a teenager. Which again is a good book to me. Any time you can talk about your feelings and your views across age barriers it is a good book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RI2CGTJ3SI3L2?ASIN=014242417X	A great read that you won't want to put down!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I hadn't heard of this book until I had seen that it was going to be released as a movie this summer.  I love reading books prior rt movies being made so though I would give this one a shot.  VERY WELL WORTH IT! I read it so quick that I want to go back and reread it.  IF you do read this book, go to the authors website, and read the question and answers from the author.  It gave me a more in depth look at the symbolism (I missed the water one).</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1QEA5WT31MG5U?ASIN=014242417X	Great Book! Deserves to be one of the best from 2012	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is so well written. The characters are believable, both the kids and the adults. The book wouldn't have been so heartbreaking if you didn't buy into their separate lives. The author character living in Amsterdam was a pretty convenient villain, but I think it shows how the death of one very close to you can take almost any toll.<br/>Is there a happy ending or does life just move on? A little bit of both, I think.<br/>Okay?<br/>Okay.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R22EVMYC263XW2?ASIN=014242417X	Breathtaking	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I'm trying so hard to find the words to describe this beautiful piece of literature. I did all the cliché things one does when they read a spectacular book. I laughed, I cried, and I cried some more. I can easily say this is the greatest book I have ever read. I devoured this story in less than four hours flat well into the early hours of morning. Thank you so much John green for this ridiculously incredible story! Everyone MUST READ THIS BOOK!!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RS8EYLSMXZH3Y?ASIN=014242417X	Absolutely loved the book and it shipped superrr fast!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I expected it to take a week or so for the book to arrive but it literally took two days. I fell in love with the book after reading it for just ten minutes and didn't stop reading it until i was finished. so let's just say i was up until 3am reading it. it is a very very wonderful book, but it is a tear jerker. out of all the books i have ever read, this is the only one i have ever cried while reading. I have had my fair share of sad books too.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3AGXMFF6X2OMP?ASIN=014242417X	Sooo good!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I usually read fictional stories about things that could never happen. A friend suggested this book and I bought it but let it sit on my kindle for months without even opening it, letting the fictional paranormal romances fill my reading time instead. I was needing something to read while out of town and didn't have Internet access so I started this one. It is by far better than any of the other books I've read...it means something. I loved it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RF58P46I25ZYH?ASIN=014242417X	"So much more than a ""chick flick"""	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">John Green' s ability to wrap the readers heart and head into a knotted mess is unfathomable.<br/>When I first decided to read this book, I was sure it was going to be mushy, with haphazard thought patterns and broken teenage speech. But it was more than that. It was intelligent, vibrant, beautiful. Definitely a book you'll want to read forever. Until the end when you're going to need to put it down and breathe before having another go at it.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RD6AXLRTV26XW?ASIN=014242417X	heartbreaking and immensely powerful; also, quite funny	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">A book about teenagers with terminal cancer ought to be sad, a tearjerker, and this one is. But it's no sentimental play on emotions. Green has sculpted wry, sharp, insightful main characters whose depth of love and intellect make you cheer for them as much as they make you pity the poor, hapless adults who orbit their lives. I will read this book again. And when I die, I can only hope someone writes me as beautiful a eulogy as Augustus Green.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RYD2DURRF4BC6?ASIN=014242417X	BEST book I have read in SOOO long!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I seldom write reviews, but I just HAD to recommend this book.  We just finished reading it for book club, and everyone loved it.  It is the best book we have read.  It is the best book I have read in a very long time.  I liked it so well that I bought all of Green's other books and read them immediately.  Ahhhhh!  Now what will I read?  Good stuff.  I wish I could write something 1% that good.  I just can't stop thinking about the characters.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1DZ8SG0DTCHKT?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing!!!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is possibly the best book I have ever read! The way he worded things was so amazing and beautiful. Even though I cried fir the last twenty percent of this book it was worth it! I will forever recommend this to anyone. Augustus was a beautiful human being with a great sense of humor, and Hazel was just the perfect character to be with him. I love this book, but I should warn you, you will cry for hours-days-weeks (yeah it's that sad-good).</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RR5CUPS5M8DVF?ASIN=014242417X	You might cry your eyes out but...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Well, we all know what happens. You might cry your eyes out, curse the author, curse cancer, throw your book across the room and fall upon your bed in a heap of emotional turmoil...but nonetheless you'll pick it back up after while and finish reading. My heart was torn to shreds, but even in the midst of wallowing in my novel-inspired despair, it is a great read! I guess it's worth the anger and sadness. In the meantime: John Green, you jerk!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3N20KMDTK3606?ASIN=014242417X	Great book!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I think this book is such a good read. Yes, the kids/teenagers have cancer, but they do not allow the disease to dominate their lives. The book illustrates how cancer patients view others looking at them and how they view dying. This book would possibly be good in helping someone cope with a dying loved one. Some of the quotes are excellent. I am not telling the story - no one needs spoilers. Buy it and enjoy it. I promise you will thank me!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R61UMIHKEZCZC?ASIN=014242417X	Simply amazing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Firstly I must say I have just finished this amazing book and I am balling like a little girl! But the good kind of tears, the tears where you know you have just finished something to be remembered. I'm in love with this story, it's everything I expect with so much more. If your on the fence about shelling out money to buy it DON'T be. it's worth your time I swear. Hell, it's 3am and I have to wake in 3 hours but I just couldn't put it down.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R171WXZFCIY9UR?ASIN=014242417X	Overwhelming!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I loved the book. It made me laugh, worry and cry. A roller coaster of feelings that once i started reading i couldn't put it down until the end... and it was so inspiring that I had to read it again...<br/>Hazel and August, the main characters of this love story, are teenagers so real that I think any kid could relate to.<br/>I haven't read any other book of John Green, but now I want to read them all. I hope they are as good as this one.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R30B318B5V4G7G?ASIN=014242417X	Unrealistic	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I thought this book was terrible! If the author had spent any time around teenagers he would have realized they do not talk like this.  The book felt forced; trying to provoke sadness from characters I actually cared nothing about.  The plot about the author was silly and made the story even less believable. Two terminally ill teenagers flying across the Atlantic to visit an author? Absurd! I will not be seeing the movie after reading this.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R46PVGCEQ1D9K?ASIN=014242417X	Less smart version of Juno	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Formulaic romance plot enriched with smartass dialogue. I read this book before the movie came out, and I could tell this was written for the purpose of being made into a movie. The girl reminds me of a more sentimental, less smart, and very sick version of Juno. But in the fictional world, being teenage and having cancer and being teenage and pregnant hold equal weight as debilitating life events. I would much rather just watch Juno again.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R33KTYFMZ3IKIF?ASIN=014242417X	I'd still recommend it.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I don't usually read romances and ultimately thats what this book is.  However the characters were so engaging and the writing so dynamic I didn't mind.  The book is actually quite a page turner.  I would have rated it much higher if it hadn't been for the ending which seemed over worked.  Perhaps it was meant to be a twist but felt drawn out and convoluted compared to the rest of the book.  The writing is fabulous.  I'd still recommend it.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R35ZB27CEUY20R?ASIN=014242417X	I fell in love the way you fall asleep	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">'THE FAULT IN OUR STARS' is by far on  of my favorite books. It's made me look at things a total different way and accept &amp; be grateful for all that I have and love the ones who love me unconditionally. I can't deny that I won't ever read this book again because  that is not true. there is honestly no better way I would wan this book to end. Thank you for the opportunity to fall in love with a new peace of art John Green. - Jade Norah Curry</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1BVOXW8OHDH90?ASIN=014242417X	Well rounded!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Weird, but having both of my parents die of cancer, draws me to stories such as this one. Loved the perspective of teens. On the same note, he 4 stars comes from the fact that these are two teens you don't usually run into, so some of the things are over the top for modern day kiddos, but perfect for a Soap Opera I might add! But loved the story none the less. It was such a great combination of heart string tugging, yet barrels of laughter.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3S8CLWIJOPB1K?ASIN=014242417X	You're Only Alive When You Love	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is about dying children. But what are we, all of us, but those about to die? This book will open your eyes to what it means to be alive, and what it costs. Doesn't matter if you're not a child and are not yet overtly dying. If you are human, you are dying. And you are alive. All at once. If you're in a moment in time where these thoughts make you cringe and want to shriek, read this book. If you're not in such a moment, read this book.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R392VGHC15OWNP?ASIN=014242417X	A Legacy	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Probably the best book I've ever read in my life... No other has ever topped this. I will definitely continue reading John Greene's books... but this... You never grow out of it. I want to find a guy like Gus and be so much like Hazel... this is another one of those books where you wish it was you in the position of the main character... I know she will die, and like Peter Van Houten's, An Imperial Affliction, I can already see an ending...</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RF63078T9Z4UT?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I love this book. I have read it three times and will probably read it a million more. John Green is so talented and I look forward to more of his books. This one is a real tear jerker, especially for someone who has lost a loved one to cancer, like me. I would recommend this book to anyone with the ability to read. Don't let the sadness of the whole picture take away your chance to get to know some truly beautiful and humorous characters.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RSOQ9I0OYN83Q?ASIN=014242417X	wonderful story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I loved this book so very much. It is a true romance, young love, love of life, love of family. I wasn't emotionally prepared for this incredibly moving story but I never once regretted shedding a tear in public for Hazel, Augustus or Isaac. This book made me value the relationships I have and urged me to let those that I love know just how much. Very rare these days to read a book that has made such an impact on my life. I hope you enjoy.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3CEXXW5TJBEVR?ASIN=014242417X	not-just-for YA readers	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Oh my God. Ohmygodohmygodohmygod. What a powerfully, beautifully, devastatingly well-written story. For the last sixty pages-- who makes a book turn achingly sad for sixty long pages and keeps you reading?-- I soaked through eight kleenexes, each time angrily pulling another reluctantly from the box, SWEARING it would be my very last tissue, that I couldn't possibly need one more. I want to know Augustus and Hazel in some sort of lifetime.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R187JZQFFCGNJK?ASIN=014242417X	GREAT, BEAUTIFUL, TRAGIC BOOK! READ IT YOU WON'T REGRET IT!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">It's beautiful! It's beautiful. I was assigned this book for a college class and, not being particularly excited to do homework, I begrudgingly started it this morning. It was perfect. I smiled and sobbed at various places throughout the story, and though it was sad and tragic and I could tell from the very start, I loved it. John Green is my new favorite author. He writes beautifully, and I will definitely be purchasing more of his books.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RIXPJ2NRLKGFL?ASIN=014242417X	outstanding	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">As a cancer patient, green unbelievable job describing some things that go through a person's head when fighting the disease. And i'm also a widow after having lost my husband to the same disease. Greens description of the emptiness and pain involved in all of it was unbelievably accurate.  He must have some first-hand knowledge of it himself to be able to describe the feelings like he did in this book. Laughter through tears. I loved it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RW061OEEZ2IAF?ASIN=014242417X	written beautifully	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">John Green has brought the reality of living and dying to the page with such intelligence, wit and kindness that I couldn't put this  book down.  With remarkable character development and story telling skills, he lets you into the hearts and minds of two young people who are ordinary teens but amazing people. Any age would like The Fault In Our Stars, especially if you have a family member suffering from cancer or another serious illness.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RB7KIUO38GK1Y?ASIN=014242417X	Wonderful Read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Absolutely iconic. The story makes you fall in love with the characters without ever feeling like its dragging. It's endlessly quotable, but perhaps the most significant feature of the novel is how even though most of us have never and will never be in a similar situation, it's relatable on a fundamental level. That fact, combined with the sheer publicity around the book's release, makes it a must-read in modern literature, in my opinion.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Honestly, reading the synopsis I really didn't expect much out of this book.  I've heard rave reviews about it though, so I thought I would give it a shot.<br/><br/>I'm glad I did I read this.  I had the hardest time in the world holding down my tears.  I'm not one to cry but if this book doesn't bring you to the brink of tears at the least, you're reading it wrong.<br/><br/>Great Character Development, Intelligent Writing, Nice Plot.</span>"

I instantly fell in love with each of these characters. They all seemed human, and even though most of them had there own problems they didn't let it dictate there lives. And the writing made me laugh so much my family thought I was on pills. And cry so hard they thought I was bipolar.  Just please for the love of all things good read this book. It will not disappoint.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2X5XRDTUDEYQE?ASIN=014242417X	Wonderful book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book had everything! I finished it in three days, partly because the movie is coming out this week and I wanted to be able to compare it. i Loved Augustus character, and the conversational banter between the two young people was entertaining. I admired her mother's handling of the situation and  i can relate since my daughter died about two years ago. The descriptions of Holland were a delight.  I must find another John Green book!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3UEBTYGUL40IG?ASIN=014242417X	Worth the tears	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is a beautiful book.  I am caught in the wave of excitement surrounding the release but think I would have loved this book if I'd pulled it randomly from the YA shelf at the library.<br/><br/>There is so much about the universe that is just not fair (insert stomping feet) and it's not easy to talk about those parts of life.  The story unfolds and enfolds you and at the end you have a few more words to wrestle with the unfairness of it all.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2E7XEU3X72RDG?ASIN=014242417X	an amazingly touching story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I selected this story because I like to see what young people are reading.  For some reason, it seems that young people are a bellwether for our culture, and it's just fun to see what they like to read, or should I say what young women like to read because it just seems that young men no longer read.<br/><br/>In any event, I was deeply moved by this story and at times, I had to out it down in order to avoid crying in public.<br/>Dey</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2QM1KT96JF0X?ASIN=014242417X	Please don't tell my daughter...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">She LOVES this book, and I wanted to love it too. I wanted to share a good cry with her by the end. NOPE.<br/><br/>The dialogue WAS contrived. It did NOT sound like teenagers talking. Every plot point was very, VERY convenient, including the late-in-the-book news about Augustus.<br/><br/>Every point that people have made in critical reviews I agree with. I just needed to vent as to what I REALLY felt about it.<br/><br/>Sorry, Em.</span>"

We are always so ungrateful of what the universe gives us everyday. This book had made this ice cold heart of mine brake in to tears. The book has these young fighters of life fighting constantly not to died they learn how to love and appreciate  life to the fullest, they learn what love is in such a small period of time and they teach others about the universe.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R19OBM52P8J5B?ASIN=014242417X	Review	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This Book is so good. The book is simply about two teenagers falling in love with each other while living and each dealing with a terminal illness close to everyone in one way or another : cancer! They have many journeys and different views on life. The book relates to many people as everyone knows someone who has or had to deal with cancer. Everyone should read this tear jerking novel which is also heart warming and funny all in one:)</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R13470UBZD1Z36?ASIN=014242417X	It was okay	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I had seen many commercials on TV about the movie, so this peaked my interest in the book.  I purchased it and started reading.  It took me several attempts to really get into the book and it did improve.  However, I was disappointed in the overall book.  To me it just didn't really get into the characters.  I think the same story could have been written in about a 10 page paper.  I wasn't really impressed with the writer or the book.</span>"

For me being a teen myself I know for a fact regular teenagers do not talk like the teenagers in this book. Other than that fact this book was awesome!! It was truly a great love story. I would not recommend this book to anyone the age 12 and younger. There is a lot of foul lauguage and big complicated words. This is a beautiful book and I look forward to reading more books by John Green.</span>"

The characters were believable and I was right into their lives.  I am definitely going to read more books by John Green.  I would love to talk about this wonderful book more but I don't want to give anything away - I want readers to go into this book like I did with no knowledge except it had been recommended to me to read.<br/><br/>Enjoy!</span>"

I just had to write a review saying that there is no reason not to read it. There's a line in the book where Hazel talks about having a book that you think everyone must read before the broken world can be put back together again, and this is that book. You won't regret buying it, and you certainly won't regret reading it. Why are you still reading this? Click ""Add to Cart"" NOW.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2RRT9NZ7VA45U?ASIN=014242417X	Beautiful, heartbreaking, uplifting, and yes, funny	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault In Our Stars was one of the most beautifully written books I've read in a very long time. The story of Hazel and Augustus feels so true . It's not a depressing cancer story - it's life affirming.<br/><br/>Two teenagers with cancer (one who is terminal) meet and fall in love. Their story, which could have been so cliched in lesser hands, is honest and funny and uplifting and romantic and deep. I highly recommend this book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3VWQL880RVSJO?ASIN=014242417X	This book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is probably one of the best books I have ever read. The characters were deeply thought out, and really did act like normal teenagers. The subject of cancer was approached in a way that didn't make it feel overwhelming. It's truly a story about young love and loss. I laughed and I cried and it made me question myself in ways I could have never imagined.<br/><br/>Thank you, John Green. For this amazing, amazing work of art.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">My friend suggested me this book and I am so grad he did.<br/>This book is so well written that you can see the character's face. There are many moments in this story that you'll never forget.<br/>I just loved the whole atmosphier created by the 3 main characters.<br/>Now I finished reading the whole book in 24hours and going to read it again as I miss them.

I can identify so much with the main character. Although it's a little predictable and I don't want to give anything away, I want you to know I cried for like, half an hour, even though that part of the plot was inevitable. Beautiful, beautiful story. I would recommend this book to anyone who's in for a good read. Really. Also, John Green is hilarious.</span>"

I gave it to my mom after I read it and she liked it so much she has her book club reading it now.  It's really well written and just a fantastic perspective on the mind of anyone suffering with serious illness, especially a young mind.  It's a love story and then some.  I can't recommend this book enough.  If you're even contemplating it, BUY IT NOW, you won't be disappointed.</span>"

I was a huge fan of An Abundance of Katherines, but did not really enjoy Paper Towns for its unreal characters and implausible plot. This book, however, is why I love John Green. Funny, but touching. Insightful, but modest. This book is fantastic, and I recommend it to anyone. Very easy read, and great writing.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R29E5LRAVCVCP1?ASIN=014242417X	10+ Stars!!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Great book, don't want to say too much and spoil it for people but it was an easy and intriguing read, it took me five hrs to get through. Sad that it's over though. And also I found so many quotes that I liked. This book will make you feel every emotion possible. One minute you're like ahh then you're like ughhh then aww then out of nowhere haha. It was amazing. I love John Green and his awesome talent for writing exceptional books.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2768O32AWNYCU?ASIN=014242417X	Just Plain Bad	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Very short and the big ""reveal"" moment is too political. They're kids, so they're awkward in their interactions and don't seem to have enough time together to find this great love that everyone seems to think they have. I only read this because of the big fuss everyone was making...steer clear and read something worth far more of your time. I suggest the genres of historical fiction or fantasy...this is a waste of your time.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R206P45XUOVG12?ASIN=014242417X	Enjoyable	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This  book was just so touching to me, I think this book is good for teens and adult, myself only 13, just was so emotional to this book, I loved this book because it just grab me, I thought it was wonderful on how it could take something so sad and make it have happy moments and be joyful, I'm not going to lie, the  book is wonderful and has many joyful moments but, the  ending was the best part, and  I'm not going to lie I cried&lt;3</span>"
1.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RVLZFLTNY9ZB1?ASIN=014242417X	A gorgeous, heartbreaking read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I found this book because after losing my husband in December, I have found myself drawn to YA fiction. At first I thought that it was because YA tends to be lighter than adult fiction, but there is nothing light about this book.  It's simply a gorgeously written story about finding perfection in our faults.  The characters are richly drawn and I didn't want the book to end, ever.  I look forward to reading John Green's other books.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3HETW9ZCU7OIS?ASIN=014242417X	Absolutely beautiful	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Not only is the story itself touching and beautiful beyond words, but the way this story is written makes me think it will be remember for many years to come. John Green does not just fill a blank sheet with words, but paints a frescoe of pain and beauty which makes my soul both dance and cry at the same time. This book stayed with me for a long time after I finished reading it. If you have not read it yet, what are you waiting for?</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RCH3I8N6XIZEZ?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing story!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This was an amazing book. Who knew that two teenagers with Cancer actually knew so more about life than an any adult?<br/><br/>A beautifully written story about a very tough subject. Anyone with children, or experiences with illness and death will find some parts in this book excruciatingly painful to read. But, even after my heart broke over and over again, I think I'm a better person for knowing Hazel Grace and Augustus Waters.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2AHCNA7LRCO35?ASIN=014242417X	Reading this book was like a gift	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I want to talk to someone else who has read this book but then again, I don't. I believe to truly appreciate this, you have to internalize it and keep its meaning to yourself. It must have a different meaning and different impact on each of us to honor the words.<br/><br/>I know that paragraph sounded like a bit of esoteric bull ****, but you have to read this to feel it. It's both blunt and beautiful and John Green, it's a gift.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RSV65H2BF7R57?ASIN=014242417X	One of my favorites	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This story is fantastic.  I tried two of Green's other works and lost interest within 100 pages, but this one kicks my butt good and proper.  It's one of the most original love stories I've read in a long time.  I'm a high school teacher, so I know teenagers and how they work, and the characters of Hazel Grace and Gus are perfectly developed, very much like Romeo and Juliet for today's generation.<br/><br/>Yowza.  Read this book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R6WAMBZ1R22PS?ASIN=014242417X	Darn you John	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This gets six stars but they only give me the choice of five. This story was the best I've ever read, up until this point it didn't believe so, but it truly is. If you're looking for something to read I recommend this for you. You'll get sucked in.<br/><br/>Dear John Green,<br/>Thank you for making me cry, but also thank you for giving me hope that there is an 'Augustus Waters' out there for me,<br/>Sincerely, you're fantastic.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2B514DY39AHGT?ASIN=014242417X	best book I have ever read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I LOVED this book. I liked this book so much that I am going to read it over and over again. It was such a cute love story. It had a great blend of happiness and sadness. It has inspired me to look at my life better and not take things for granted. It would be awesome if there was a sequel about what happens to Hazel grace. I feel the way she felt about ""An Apperial Affliction"". Great book and would recommend it to anyone.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2VAMW2LU3WZLK?ASIN=014242417X	A Very Worth It Journey	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I have never been much for sad stories, however, several people had suggested this book to me.  I decided to give it a try and I was not disappointed.  I have always been a sucker for media that can flawlessly blend comedy and tragedy, and this book did just that.  I went from laughing, to crying, to laughing AND crying all within the same page.  If you have not had the immense pleasure of reading this book, please pick it up now!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R354LUPIQ8TTTX?ASIN=014242417X	GREAT READ!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I heard some hype about this book and suggested it as the first read in my book club.  Others hadn't heard of it and weren't as enthusiastic about it.  After everyone started reading they immediately changed their attitudes about the book.  I loved it.  The characters are witty and intelligent beyond their years, making it easier for us in our 20's to get into a book in which the protagonists are teens.  Overall, highly recommend!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2I0BXANWJN27G?ASIN=014242417X	Thought Provoking & Emotional	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I loved this book because the author does an excellent job of making the characters' points of view so clear. I felt the emotions that they were feeling, and I was able to see their situation from theirs eyes instead of my own. That is such a difficult thing to do. I love books that are able to achieve that. I have read other books by this author that I did not like as much, but this one was very powerful! I couldn't pout it down.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R4J70G4CGNCJE?ASIN=014242417X	Absolutely Amazing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I was assigned this book as a summer English assignment. Before I even starting reading, I assumed the book to be tremendously boring. However; I'll just about-it and say I started this book today, but I have hardly been able to put it down all day. This book is wonderful and I would recommend it to anyone (granted you have a very large vocabulary or a dictionary on-hand). Definitely going to write a praising essay on this one! :)</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1LAELECB7YA3N?ASIN=014242417X	Good for adults too!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I brought this book at a local department store for my teenage daughter, but eventually read it myself and loved it. The plot is good, the storyline is thought-provoking and the characters are endearing. But best of all I liked the fact that the book was able to invoke emotions that I haven't felt since I was a teenager, which is quite some years back. <a class=""a-link-normal"" href=""/Uncle-Byron-s-Antiquated-Time-Machine-To-Save-a-President/dp/1493658492"">Uncle Byron's Antiquated Time-Machine: To Save a President</a></span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2XZK54NIQZ8SP?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Very rarely do books make me cry, but this one did. Not in a bad way, but a good one. This book caused me to ball my eyes out at the pure magnitude of the love felt between two teenagers. While reading this novel I fell in love with the characters and every little aspect of their journey through life and love, a love I hope one day to experience myself. This is an amazing novel which I will recommend to everyone and anyone I can.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R12LYO1CO1Y0KG?ASIN=014242417X	My favorite by green!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I first read looking for Alaska after my boyfriend (who NEVER reads) recommended it. I loved it!! A year later I heard about The Fault in Our Stars, and I'm glad to say that John green has wrote two of the best books I have ever read. I'm not an emotional person but in the two books I've read by him I cried like a baby both times. The stories feel real and are very easy to get into. And after the first few pages you are addicted!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RDTU21P84ZJB7?ASIN=014242417X	words fail me	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I had this book soon after it was published, but just never got time to read it.  I liked his other books, but to me this is so different.  Even though there was going to be tears, I cry a lot,  once I started it, I couldn't stop.  Augustus and Hazel are amazing.  The story is filled with good characters, people you'd like to know.  I highly recommend it, but the movie scars me, it's that crying thing!  Wonderful work Mr. Green.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2BBPENIT02S2A?ASIN=014242417X	WOW	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I feel like this book is my ""An Imperial Affliction"", my new obsession, and a book that I greatly look forward to reading again! I bought it, and finished it within 24 hrs of the purchase. I couldn't set it down for long, and did so only when I had to.  It's an inspiring book, in so many ways. I can't get enough of Hazel's take on life, on the situations she faces every day. I suggest this book to everyone I talk to now.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RFIPIQEHR4VXA?ASIN=014242417X	"I enjoyed even more than ""Alaska"""	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Looking for Alaska is considered by some as John Green's masterpiece and I am glad to disagree.<br/><br/>The book deals with death and people that ""happens to be dying because that is a side effect of having cancer"" but it doesn't feel to force into any direction in particular.<br/><br/>I enjoyed the dialogues and overall the characters. It made me smile, it made me laugh and also cry.<br/>Recommended lecture !!! :D</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RCQ5CSBEMQZOC?ASIN=014242417X	Brilliant Ending!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I loved the 1st person story telling. It was raw and didn't try to gloss over the pain cancer causes the entire family, but especially the person inflicted. The love story aspect added to the humanistic nature of the story, but was done very tastefully. I hated the ending of the story, but isn't that what started the journey of Hazel and Gus throughout this book....hating the ending to a book? I definitely recommend for anyone!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2L9E8HRALDUUT?ASIN=014242417X	I didn't know.......	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">...until after I finished the book that it was a young adult book or that it was being made into a move! But this 50+ woman just loved the book. I do not usually write reviews, but really felt this book deserved one. I couldn't put this one down, the characters in the book have stayed with me for days after I finished the book. I just LOVED the book and highly recommended for not only teens, but for their parents. OKAY...okay.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3KWIVO8EXB69A?ASIN=014242417X	Thoughtful and touching story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">An unexpected love story that touches the reader on so many levels.It brilliantly deals with the complexity of young relationships both with parents and peers in the face of adversity. The characters are sophisticated in their thoughts, dialogue and actions. The teenagers are often more perceptive than the adults (which if why so many of them love this book), for they are not as much jaded as they are realistic. A joy to read!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R39XZ4FMW0EN84?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is an amazing book. Trying to come up with a perfect summary of the book is a tad bit intimidating. I am imagining Hazel and Augustus as real individuals reading over my review and criticizing my effort to perfectly capture the meaning of the story. So, I will be brief-The Fault in Our Stars is about a girl who meets a boy and falls in love while dealing with the concept that life is short, sometimes shorter than others.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1UPPAK5N11JS1?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing Emotions	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">If you're a John Green fan, I have one thing to say: This novel invoked more emotion than Looking For Alaska.<br/><br/>If you're inexperienced with John Green, I'd like to reiterate that this novel with make you laugh and cry and probably very upset. It follows Hazel Grace - a teenager with cancer - on a journey that begins when she meets the fantastically crafted character of Augustus Waters - another teenager with cancer.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3PZLTWSFPBUWB?ASIN=014242417X	B e a u t i f u l	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Let me start with the fact that I've never read any of Green's books. It was hard to choose (since I only had a ten bucks gift card) which book to buy, but I am quite happy with my choice.<br/>""The Fault In Our Stars"" is, I dare say, one of the greatests books I've read. It gave me this warm feeling and emotionally broke me at the same time. With an unexpected turn and an overwhelming end, TFIOS won't dissapoint you.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RZEVGVJX93XB6?ASIN=014242417X	Incredible story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I absolutely adored this book. I constantly was thinking about it during breaks- wondering what was going to happen next, etc. It hooks you from the beginning, and as you get farther and farther into the book you feel more and more emotionally attached to Hazel and Augustus- laughing with them, smiling at joyous times, and weeping at times when your heart aches for them. Truly an amazing read, and I recommend it to everyone.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3MQ0FXL143C59?ASIN=014242417X	Awesome !!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Loved this story it was so moving and you were inside or should i say you were outside looking in to the heart and soul of a cancer patient !!

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1LFZBZSCK2CM2?ASIN=014242417X	THIS BOOK RIPPED OUT MY HEART I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is a seamless meld of the depths of pondering of mortality and young love. It actually makes you think. It is flawlessly written, had brilliant characters, and can make grown men weep their steely hearts out. I hadn't really read a book for fun in a long time and this book sparked my interest in reading again. It is a gorgeous story that transcends one particular audience; I recommend that all of humanity reads it.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RFHRDWM7TAJ7X?ASIN=014242417X	Bought on a whim	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I bought this book because I had heard good things about it, and had enjoyed Looking for Alaska and Paper Towns. It did not disappoint. This book is harsh and real, full of truths. It leads you on and you can see the characters develop. This book allows for a nice quiet afternoon, I immediately yelled at anyone of my family members that tried to distract me. As a current Nerdfighter, I have to sign off like this.<br/>DFTBA,<br/>MC</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2RDLVAD8T77LX?ASIN=014242417X	Surprising How Much I Enjoyed This	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I was telling my family to read this book. They asked for a quick summary. My response, ""teen love and cancer"". This made everyone gasp and say ""no thank you"". That's when I realized, despite the heaviness of the topic, I felt a kinship with the characters. I was never disappointed even though there is disappointment in the story. it was a good outlook on life from the point of view of people who can see the limits to life.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3W46D4CBDIGUN?ASIN=014242417X	Okay	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">My God. If this book didn't make you cry, you are a soulless being. This book is indescribable. Basically, this book is a necessary read for any man, woman, teenager etc. This beautiful book gives a whole new meaning to ""life"" and it makes me grateful for everything, from the breath my lungs take, to the dark behind my eyelids when I blink. PLEASE READ THIS BOOK. PLEASEPLEASEPLEASE. You will always love it.<br/>  Okay? :')</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3ACDYKANQEOW5?ASIN=014242417X	Bawling	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is up there with My Sister's Keeper for making you weep. I didn't think I would like this book because I felt it would be too depressing, but the author doesn't make it about this illness. He writes a beautiful love story with a side effect of cancer. The ending is kind of predictable about halfway through, but it doesn't make  it any less devastating. Read this if want to change your life. I know it changed mine.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3KUCSOQ8WLYUE?ASIN=014242417X	A must ! A must read -	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">How is it possible to cry and laugh within the same page... the writing is absolutely amazing.<br/><br/>Hazel is an amazing girl and Augustus (oh Augustus) when can I day, his character is simply amazing - You just fall in love with him ... their story is fascinating (yes very sad.. very sad..) but he has such a good look at life, and what he has and how he just makes the best of an awful situation... just love love it...</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RBRXIFK6Z3MSY?ASIN=014242417X	Wow, just wow	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">That's all I have to say about this book. It made me respect the life of people who have to go through this. It made picture every moment they had in my head so clearly like it had just happened to me yesterday. It made me cry, and I don't usually cry over books. It made me wish no one had to- or has to- go through any of this. It made me fall in love with all of the characters with every word I read. It made me speechless.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R28CJJUQ39O4R1?ASIN=014242417X	Enthralling story full of love, irony and life!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">After the first couple of pages I was worried that this would be too easy of a read for me. However, before I finished the first chapter I was proved wrong.  The flow of the book is easy and wonderful, but it's full of challenging words that have since strengthened my vocabulary! The characters are so lovable and relatable and the story touches on the good and not-so-good qualities of humans and life. Definitely recommend!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3JBJJSHN7ZII0?ASIN=014242417X	Fast and great read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The book was really good. I couldn't put it down. You really like the characters and their idiosyncrasies. They are so incredibly smart and the feeling that their lives are being ripped away from them in their youth is heart wrenching.  Green portrays the ways in which they deal with their illness as cynical, extremely funny at times and extremely tragic at others. It is a very good book about death and dying. A must read.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R39ZQ57X3BGEAU?ASIN=014242417X	Exceeded All Expectations!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I had seen tons of people reading this book on the subway, was recommended by friends as well. Sometimes a story just stays with you, and this will for a long time. I've never read John Green before, and man he is so talented. In theory what would seem a very depressing story line, is very thoughtful, warm, at times hilarious and deep. You'll laugh and cry on the same page. And at 24 I can say it's anything but a YA novel.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R37B6A62W1TDYZ?ASIN=014242417X	Why is this book allowed to exist?	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I could not put this book down. Absolutely beautiful. I can't even imagine to pick out words that would justly describe it. I couldn't do it justice. I cried a dangerous amount and laughed an equal amount. This is the kind of book you find comfort in reading many times and share with your friends. I have rarely loved a book so fiercely after only reading it minutes before... John Green knows how to pull your heart strings.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2NX4F31ADDQOK?ASIN=014242417X	Wow, what a great book! Must Read!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Awesome book.  Just finished and want to read again (for those who have read the book, how ironic is that).  Tragic and funny at the same time.  Witty, deep, poignant and insightful about facing cancer.  Very character driven with fun, smart banter as well as honest dialogue about how they feel dealing with cancer.<br/><br/>Must read.  Clear you calendar to read and while reading have a large box of Kleenex at your side.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RT5TSCYNALVCT?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in Our Stars Review	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book diffidently deserves a 5 star rating! From the beginning you were hooked with the way the author let you get inside the narrator's head and hear her inside thoughts and feelings. Getting that chance to develop a close connection with a character in a book is what made the novel so special.<br/>I would recommend it to anyone who loves reading in their free time, especially those who love romance and a good laugh.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R110JK575Y6ATN?ASIN=014242417X	True to Life	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">As the parent of a young man who succumbed to cancer, I can say this book told it like it is.  Parts of the book are gritty and hard to read.  Parts of it are beautiful.  I wouldn't recommend it for anyone who is currently battling cancer, it may be too intense.  I would recommend it for anyone who has ever loved a young cancer patient.  It provides a view of what it is like to be young and have cancer.  A compelling read.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2DYQWPWTUWHQB?ASIN=014242417X	Tear-Jerker	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">It's a great read. Was recommended to me by a friend to read, so glad I read it. I could really relate to understanding the emotions portrayed in this book.<br/><br/>If you can handle a book that will most like make you cry or at least tear up, then this is a must read. Like usual, the book is better than the movie, even though the movie isn't bad either. You just miss some of the details that are discussed in the book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3U4MA4TR3YLHX?ASIN=014242417X	One of the most fantastic books I have ever read.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I thought that this was a fabulous book. My daughter, who is a senior In college read it and also thought it was great. It made one think about their own mortality and what our presence in life means. It was a wonderful love story that caused me to cry when reading certain parts. I highly recommend this book to all those who want to read a  book that causes one to think. Thank you to my daughter for recommending it to me.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RIZTYQ767NSJY?ASIN=014242417X	My new favorite book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book has earned its place in my short list of very favorites.  I don't know how it was possible, but the author managed to write a book about teenagers battling (and losing their battles to) cancer that is laugh-out-loud funny.  I was laughing through constantly flowing tears, however.  This book touched me in a way that few have, and when I finished it I just sat there, quietly smiling and staring at the last words.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RYO6Q7H616ZDE?ASIN=014242417X	Hilarious, beautiful and heartbreaking	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is probably the best book I've ever read. It is excellently written, and really connects the reader with the adventures of hazel and gus. It made me laugh and cry so much. I have memorized many great quotes from this book , though I can barely memorize a philosophical question from Aristotle or Socrates in history class. I will definitely be reading more john green books, and I hope they work extra hard on the movie.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1N4UWC5LLJSM6?ASIN=014242417X	Superb book for teens and older	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read it in a day but still think of it months later. It then worked its way through the rest of our house. Subject is teens dealing with teen subjects (love, angst, friendship, peers) through the hyper-focus of terminal illness. Funny, sad, and thought-provoking. The author also has extensive Q&amp;As online for after you've finished the book. We read a lot in our house and this is one of the best books we've read in years.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R16MJPDCEZ3AUN?ASIN=014242417X	Definitely deserves 5 stars!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Had some second thoughts after I ordered this when I saw it on the 'Teen' list, but it turned out to be as enjoyable a book as I've read in a long time.  It's amazing how a writer can fully depict an intimate love story without gratuitous sex (the polar opposite of the 'Fifty Shades ...' trilogy) centered around cancer, dying and death and leave the reader so uplifted.  Anyone else have a 2nd choice written by John Green?</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2CR56O68FUSU9?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is fantastic! One of the best books I've ever read. I love all of John's books, but this one has a level of emotion and depth that really surprised me when I first started reading it. Whether you're a fan of John's, or have never even heard of him before, I suggest that you buy this book. And then buy it again for your sister, or your dad, or your niece or nephew. The Fault in our Stars is for everyone. DFTBA :)</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1YD83BEGPSMNA?ASIN=014242417X	Absolutely Amazing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I was skeptical about this book when I had to read it for my summer reading, I love reading, don't get me wrong. However, reading things assigned from school is always boring. Not this book!

Hurts just as much every time, but I find my self smiling more and more with each read. A book that can not be matched at least not in my infinity. If you have not read this wonderfully beautiful story about truly living your best life and understanding that weakness is ok and that those moments will make you a stronger person in the end then you need to, life changing.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R369YJ5ML55JYQ?ASIN=014242417X	beautiful funny and so sad	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I've been a Nerdfighter for years, I was diagnosed with cancer when I was 15 myself (I'm 21 now and in remission since 2011) and I was too afraid of loving other people because I too thought of myself as a grenade waiting to explode. Only now though after reading this do I realize I missed out on a lot of teenagery things. But this book is amazing and beautiful and speaks to me as a cancer survivor as no other book has.</span>"

I wished that I could have this strong of a love, I wished that I knew these fictional characters, I wished that the book would never end, but alas, it ended.

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Okay,.so the book is about two teens dealing with cancer and its inability to take our souls and dictate who and how we love.  As a one year cancer survivor myself, I fully identified with both Hazel and Gus.  Their thoughts and words run true to the core.  Yes, this book has two main protagonists with cancer, but the cancer is only a piece of their story...I highly recommend that you experience Hazel and Gus' story...</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">John Green has managed to capture the challenges, experiences and humor of living with cancer.  Everything about the novel rings true.  It helps us all understand that despite the huge effect their cancer has on their lives, their relationships, and their family dynamics, they are individuals experiencing life as they know it.  You want to get to know them.  I couldn't put it down.  Thanks for such a great read.  Karin</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R34WNLXEORWJY1?ASIN=014242417X	John Green is kind of my hero.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This review is hardly a review, but more of a praise. This book is just hauntingly beautiful. It just feels like every word of every sentence was carefully contemplated to insure that its reader felt everything the characters felt. I apologize for the lack of eloquence, but honestly, this is just one of those books that is destined to be read in high school English classes for the next 50 years. This book is important.</span>"

I think this is just an example of how we consider with inferiority some others, like the disabled for example. I always had this idea about the need to change the view toward them. The message is very valuable and ethical as far as I understand it. This is a really nice novel. I recommend for others to read.</span>"

We are able to enjoy the private moments of two kids who fall in love despite having terminal cancer. With little to no chance of a long future, they act more like normal kids rather than cancer victims. There are many moments of laughter, mature insights, and an intense reality that cancer victims face with each other and their families.</span>"

If I start talking about this book I automatically start tearing up. What a beautiful beautiful story John Green has given us. I will alway be thankful for this book and the beauty that it has created.<br/><br/>There are people out there who are much more eloquent than me and can write a better review than I can so I will leave them to it.

Green made some very deep insights but they are mere blips. Dude could write a book of quotes and save us all from the sappy stuff. And where are these teenagers who memorize poetry and use all these nine-syllable words? Green found plenty of them. I can't believe that half of the epic Vlogbrothers could disappoint me so.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2M9OGPMW5N8HW?ASIN=014242417X	The Best Book Ever!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is the best book ever. John Green is a genius. This book has very detailed characters and does contain things about the characters' cancer, but this book is so much more than cancer. It inspires me. It will inspire you. You are sorry for the characters, yet you applaud them and want to be them. This book is complex and will leave in you in such emotions that you cannot fathom. I highly recommend this book.</span>"

She knows that I am the mom of a 14 year old girl who died from a rare type of bone cancer 5 years ago.  What I loved about this book was the honest emotions of the characters.  How they bond from living in the cancer world.  Some of my best friends are people who I met during our five years in the cancer universe.  This book deserves all the praise it has gotten.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2F4JEHZOPRZT?ASIN=014242417X	Very deep and thoughtful	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is perhaps one of the most thoughtful pieces of literature I have ever had the great pleasure of reading. The Fault in Our Stars causes one to pause for hours on end and reflect on what they have just read. The metaphorical and symbolic resonances are astounding. It seems John Green continues to be an amazing intellectual and most authors can only childishly dream of aspiring to such heights of literary genius.</span>"

I stayed up u til 2am reading, and I want to read it again. It was beautifully written, bringing tears to my eyes that brimmed over onto my cheeks. It was a modern Romeo and Juliet without the parents hatred, but instead with incurable sickness and Juliet not following her lover's fate.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R6QQXUIV621CM?ASIN=014242417X	My Favorite Novel	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I loved this book and I really hope that more people are able to read it and fall in love with it. I can't believe how invested I was with this book... It made me laugh and it made me cry. Gus and Hazel shared true love and it was amazing to see their story develop together. I really hope that this becomes a movie so I came watch it over And over again, much like how I will be reading this book over and over again.</span>"

I usually read a book once and than move on because there are so many more books to read.  The Fault in Our Stars in a<br/>book I MUST read again.  It was well written, thought provoking and enjoyable from begining to end. I knew I would love it as soon as I<br/>started to read.  It's kinda like when you first walk into that house you are going to buy or meet that special someone... you just know.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R253WCWY2UAFUO?ASIN=014242417X	Gripping, thought provoking, an emotional rollercoaster.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was absolutely fantastic. Green's work is always special in the way that his literature really makes you think about life and its unanswerable questions. He's one of the few authors that can have you uncontrollably crying one moment, and laughing the next. I'm only fourteen, but nonetheless, I find a lot of similarities between myself and Hazel, especially pertaining to her outlook on things. John, DFTBA.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R29CU3KUWFD1J7?ASIN=014242417X	Compelling story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is a well written book for young adult readers. It handles the difficult topic of adolescents dealing with terminal cancer realistically and honestly. The young characters are ""totally-teen"" in the way they interact with humor and sarcasm, roller coaster emotions and love as they handle the unique struggles and losses of their friends, their families -- and coming to terms with their own ticking-clock.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2449NBBH1LIV1?ASIN=014242417X	AMAZING!!!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was absolutely outstanding! I don't remember the last time I sat down with a really good book, but The Fault in Our Stars was the first great book I've read in years! I recommend this book to anyone even considering reading it. It's a very moving and heartfelt story. By the end of the book,which I finished in a day, I felt so connected to the characters I was crying! Again, definitely one of my favorites.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2FWPSNE4PP83G?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault In Our Stars Review	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I love this book! It is amazing, touching, and extremely well written. I love how John Green makes Hazel's life style like and how it is like the lives of some people with cancer. I love the romance between Augustus and Hazel and how it grows. I recommend this book for ages 10-21. I am 11 and this book worked our perfectly for me. I guarantee hat this book will touch your heart. It is amazing and you must read it!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2AHDABERZ1IYV?ASIN=014242417X	I don't know that I have ever read something more completely perfect.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I devoured this book. I honestly wanted to slow myself down so I had more time to enjoy my first read of this novel, but I couldn't do it. John Green is a wordsmith that has crafted a beautiful tale that anyone can find a point of relation. Full of cynicism, wit, love, laughter, and lessons about life I didn't even know I needed to learn, this book is a must read for anyone experiencing the side-effects of living.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2BY8PLV8MKQA9?ASIN=014242417X	Loved it	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The author has managed to write a love story on par with the notebook.  But this isn't your typical love story. This isn't a story full of romance.  This is a story of heartbreak, theirs and yours.  This is a story of two kids who live everyday to not what society would deem the fullest but what they decide is the fullest. It shouldn't be any other way. This book lives up to all the hype and I highly recommend it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RY6MAVGZ2DF8B?ASIN=014242417X	Soul Crushing...in a good way	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">While written about a pair of cancer ridden teenagers, the Fault in Our Stars can be appreciated by readers of all ages. I loved the way this book challenged your perception of a fulfilled life and made you realize how crucial it is to stop and pay attention to the infinite moments in our finite lives.<br/><br/>You're definitely going to need a box of tissues, but it will be worth every heart wrenching sniffle.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2DV1VCNHO0XB8?ASIN=014242417X	I didn't think waiting to die of Cancer could, ever, be funny.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">John Green makes a tragic subject, incredibly funny. His writing is fresh, witty and wry. With poignant insights and thoughts on what makes life worth living, what you would do if your days were numbered and how a terminal disease affects someone and their friends and family. This is a sweet, star-crossed, coming of age, love story. With interesting, lovable and funny characters that will inspire and delight you.</span>"

At first I was kinda forced into reading this book but I'm sooooo happy I read it. This book really shows you to be grateful for everything because your whole life could change at any moment and you don't realize how lucky u really are until it's all gone. I really recommend this book to anyone and everyone and I'm almost positive that u won't regret reading it &lt;3</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R36ACNNPOCIK3I?ASIN=014242417X	One of the best books I have ever read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I had never come across John Green before and am back on Amazon to buy everything else he has ever written as I think he is a genius. This book made me feel how ""La vita e Bella"" film did, there is so much humor, but always with tragedy as an undertone, and yet each sad scene is also made to be as light and funny as possible. A phenomenal book with so much heart, absolutely loved it. Thank you John Green.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2TJEXUHQ1WPKZ?ASIN=014242417X	A Perfect Book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I don't use perfect lightly.  I am an adult, and the two best books I have read in the last few years are about teenagers (Black Swan Green is the other; read that one too).  I want everyone to read and love this book.  The scene where Hazel and Augustus first meet is the best, most honest description of the onset of falling in love.  I just finished and I feel inclined to stop reviewing it and go read it again.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">But to my surprise, I found it to be very heartwarming and courageous.  The characters were flawlessly created by the author. So well, in fact, that the reader can feel the frustration, anger and love each of them experience.  A fast easy read. I highly recommend this wonderful book to anyone who works in the medical field, parents with ill children and all teenagers who think 'this could never happen to them.'</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R7NFGZCGOLKZ2?ASIN=014242417X	Cannot Compare to a THING!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is fantastic! I have not read a book this well written and gripping in such a long time. I felt so connected to the characters!  I also loved the fact that it was set in Indianapolis which is where I live. Towards the end of this book I stayed up WAY past when I should have because I could not put this down until I finished it. It was also the first book to make me cry in God knows how long. Loved it!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3GNQJDBDV7WGV?ASIN=014242417X	Absolutely Amazing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I was required to read this book during the latter part of my sophomore year of high school in my English class. I'm never a fan of the books schools want their students to read nowadays, so when I was assigned this book, I was very excited. Tons of my friends had read it and said it was wonderful, and reading it for myself, I agree. It has such a great story line, and John Green really has a gift for writing.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2Q2VZYZ2LPSIC?ASIN=014242417X	Wonderful	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is amazing and not for those who wish not to cry aloud when reading.<br/>The author delves deep into the heart and soul, asking questions often not uttered out loud, and forces the reader to view living and dying and living while dying in a wonderful way.<br/>I laughed, cried, pondered, laughed more and cried til I thought my heart would burst, but it was worth it.<br/>Highly Recommended d f t b a</span>"

The relationship is believable, the characters feel real and there is a streak of dark, gallows in all of the ill characters humour through the whole book, which along with the relationships and love (familial, platonic and romantic) which adds the warm fuzzies to a story otherwise with a dark cloud over it, as must be felt by all cancer survivors and sufferers.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R11OIM8LG0HCNT?ASIN=014242417X	One of the Best Books I've read this Year	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars is the star-crossed love story of Hazel Grace Lancaster and Augustus Waters. It makes you laugh a lot, it makes you cry a lot, and you will just wish it never ends. I loved this book. John Green crafted relatable teenage characters who aren't dumb, who aren't super smart brainiacs, but just people. If he writes another book, I will readily purchase it, because this book was just amazing.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2Y2PY4MRBPL40?ASIN=014242417X	Best book ever.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read this book as a recommendation my librarian made at my local library. And I feel in love with it. I was reading the reviews on here and saw some of the bad ones were so mean. They said they couldn't understand the story and that you don't learn anything. THAT IS UNTRUE. You do have to be a deep thinker and understand the metaphorical reading. Like reading between the lines. I recommend this to everyone.</span>"

I read a blog Patrick Rothfuss was writing about a trip he was about to take. He was going to read this book on the flight. I like to read what writers read. I'm grateful I did. I loved Gus and Hazel Grace and their love affair. Everyone  wants to be loved like that, even if time is fleeting. The book is well written and pulled me in on page one. It's a book I want to read again and again.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2DCW2LFXSTOZ9?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was written very well and told a story unlike any other piece of writing. It made you see many different perspectives and ways a person can view life and the aspects of life. I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a good read and an eye opener that makes you reflect on your life and truly appreciate all the simple yet beautiful blessings each of us have that we take for granted everyday.</span>"

I can guarantee, I'll always remember Augustus Waters. So glad I'd never heard of this book before it was recommended by Amazon. I was able to take it all in without preconceptions - and then to find out a movie is coming? Kind of amazing. Thanks for writing such a soul touching little book Mr. Green.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2M0RX0TBNYFPO?ASIN=014242417X	Best book I have read in a long time!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I originally put off reading this book because I thought it would be too sad. Now I am just sad I did not read it sooner! This is a book that weaves together beautifully all aspects of life; disappointment, beauty, pain, tolerance, grief, love, peace, and appreciation for the present. The characters are intelligent, funny, and real. You will continue to think about them even after you finish the book. Enjoy!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R12PTA68JIR9AJ?ASIN=014242417X	Beautifully tragic	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Can I rate it in tears instead of stars? Actually that would require a  much higher rating scale than 5. I bought it for my 14 year old son, but it was too much for him emotionally. It is so beautifully written, but the theme of death combined with young love was heartbreaking and a bit confronting. This is not a criticism of the book, more a warning to arm yourself with emotional armour or a box of tissues.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RXOKEE2V7AI6U?ASIN=014242417X	Beautiful, engaging and you WILL cry.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Although I will read almost anything, this isn't my preferred genre. I will likely not read it again. I won't need to. The story is etched upon my heart. (Oh how Gus would sneer at that!) Mr. Green, you will be responsible for one very confused husband tonight, attempting to console a crying wife who just marathon read your story in one session. But don't feel guilty, because this story is worth every tear.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2EN3VA8V7U3CA?ASIN=014242417X	The Best Book I've Read In A While	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">When reading books- any type of book- I normally don't cry. This book made me laugh at first then cry a gallon worth of tears. The love in this book is true and I would love to have this love (without the cancer would be nice). This is a MUST read. I read it in less than 48 hours. Definitely worth staying up till 3 in the morning to finish. If you love romance with a bit of sorrow, this is the book for you.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1V54BGJVL0K4S?ASIN=014242417X	I expected a lot more	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Based on reader feedback I expected more from this story. This is the only reason I don't rate this as a five. However, the book was still well written, captivating, and moving. It is a great book to read with younger people (YA) and great for discussion. The friendship and relationship that develops between the main characters is powerful. Though the book is not realists in some aspects, but it is fiction.</span>"

It is an amazing book about love, sickness, health and what we all can learn from this life.  John Green takes us inside the world of teenage love and illness, friendships and those who leave our sides during it.<br/><br/>It doesn't matter your age, appreciate books like this for what they are, God given talent in paper form.</span>"

I know that it doesn't make sense but there was so much HYPE behind it most of which were from teenybops; I figured I would just be disappointed. I am so happy that I finally decided to give it a shot. It was a page turner in deed. I could not put it  down and finished in a matter of hours. I immediately went to watch the film...</span>"

But the deeper I got into it the more I understood. At the beginning I thought Hazel was going to die. That it would end on a cliff hanger, like her favorite book. But soon I realized that this wasn't going to have a corny ending like that. I was in tears for the last half of the book. This book is worth your time. Okay?</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3AYI92IA36QE4?ASIN=014242417X	A little uneven...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Your heart can't help but go out to the narrator Hazel and her love interest, Augustus, but the book is a little uneven. Though charming,funny, and very smart, both characters border on precocious and pretentious. So though this book is heartfelt  and likable, it's also a little cloying and overwritten; Hazel rails against conventionality and sentimentality, but that's what this book gives into in the end.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RKO8DKSHSO3SM?ASIN=014242417X	A Thought	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">While I could sit here and write a thousand page essay on why this novel is amazing, I still don't think I could do it justice. If you want to cry and laugh and be inspired and be given raw ideas that allow you to think beautiful thoughts and be given questions to answers you thought you understood, then read this story. If not, I suggest you go search Twilight by Stephanie Meyers and be on your merry way.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R24TN2VIQBRQFQ?ASIN=014242417X	You Bastard	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">It's been 25 years since I've read any fiction.<br/><br/>With trepidation I read this after losing several friends to cancer and being their caretaker at the very end. The themes dig up buried memories of very connected, passionate, and alive people who thought deeply about the world without the superficial, narcissistic comfort of popular mythologies.<br/><br/>Well done, my boy.<br/><br/>Well done.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RCHJM5M52YX3O?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in Our Stars by John Green	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is amazing, let me just start off with. I can explain it. I'm a 12 year old girl and this book will forever make a mark on my life,  It's just so romantic, funny, and heart felt. SPOILER ALERT: when Gus Dies I just started straight out bawling. I cried the rest of the book. Every time they said Gus's name I cried harder. I know I will be rereading this book., and recommend this book to everyone.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3UG5UME4I6HXI?ASIN=014242417X	A Wise and Thoughtful Book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">A teenage boy and girl are tragically and fatefully aligned together as friends, soul mates, and (kind of) lovers.  The wisdom and thoughtfulness of each character is real, at times like two young (and wise) philosophers going toe to toe in a teenage sandbox.<br/><br/>Great book.  I was riveted.  Parts of the book made me chortle, ponder, want to cry, and simply root for each of the two main characters.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R35QWT2MI1RVKP?ASIN=014242417X	Beautiful	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">John Green captivated the most beautiful, romantic, and funniest love story that I have ever heard. They both had their faults well I guess that's why it's called the Fault in Our Stars but they even each other out by showing them that the things that they believed they wanted didn't even matter. He showed that love through the good times, bad times, and sad times can still stand strong even after death.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R29UCB4O8KIFH3?ASIN=014242417X	Perfect.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I only just finished this book and I am literally left without words. The Fault in our Stars is the most thought provoking book I have read in a long time and I keep finding myself thinking about every little detail that what said. This book was written like you are in Hazel's mind and you know exactly how she feels, thinks, doubts, and loves. Beautifully executed, I feel like I owe this book everything.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2Q07OGT9TGP30?ASIN=014242417X	No Fault in This Book!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">As a fan of John Green's video blog, I was very excited to order this book.  I preordered it.  There were terrible problems, once it was time to ship.  I was extremely persistent and it was WORTH IT!<br/><br/>This book is a poignant, funny, intelligently-written story about what is means to love.  It also speaks to loss of all sorts and how people handle that.  I would highly recommend it.  Prenez vos mouchoirs!</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3KLF126BB1ZAU?ASIN=014242417X	Sweet, touching and smart book.  I love it!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Although the premise is sad, this is an extremely enjoyable read.  It is funny from beginning to end with smart and witty characters.  One of my favorite quotes was:<br/><br/>Mom - ""When did you become so smart?  It seems just yesterday I was explaining to you why the sky is blue.""<br/>Daughter - ""Why is the sky blue?""<br/>Mom - ""Cuz""<br/><br/>I highly recommend this read!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2Y29Y0T9MGJIY?ASIN=014242417X	A Great Read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">What a great story. I loved the book within a book and intellectual humor. Thank you John Green for leaving something to my imagination but giving me phrases that will stay with me. I am not a cancer survivor but I find myself with the same conflict of meaning in life and purpose as the characters did. I have been to too many funerals of young people and thought the same things he stated so eloquently.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1MKGXOQH8GW7V?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing read.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I'm a fan of green's novel ""Looking For Alaska"", but this novel was absolutely amazing. It takes you through an emotional life of two teenagers battling cancer, and finding meanings of love and loss. TFIOS will make you smile, and cry, and maybe feel some butterflies as you read of true love between star-crossed lovers. John Green is a fantastic author, and I'd definitely recommend this book to anyone.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1XCQ8LY5YFQ8M?ASIN=014242417X	touching, poignant, relatable	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">To have never had to deal with anything like this but to still feel the entirety of it through words is a beautiful thing. This book is many things at once, which leaves the reader feeling - just feeling it all, and that's the mark of a well-told story. It had me laughing and crying and then laughing through my tears. There are some lines I had to highlight and which I will carry with me going forward.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1LD8A6C369BGP?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing and thought provoking	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was amazing, sure I didn't cry but I did feel the pain. I loved all the philosophical questions and the style of writing, straight forward but so artful. If u like to actually think about death, life, stuff and are okay with feeling the pain of others and like crazy teenage love and ok with cuss words and just like to read for the heck of it... READ THIS BOOK<br/>Have fun realizing reality!!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1U1Z6XL2P97GI?ASIN=014242417X	Great characters and very smart dialogue	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I am an adult and usually find YA books very limited in the depth of their characters. This book is a big exception.  I have already recommended it to many more of my adult friends.  The dialogue in this book is wonderful, things characters say to one another are not at all predictable, they are unexpected and original and ring absolutely true.  Loved this book!! I can't wait to read more by John Green</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2ZWA5BP04ZYJM?ASIN=014242417X	Engaging from start to finish!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">With my schedule, I don't get a lot of time to read.  However, I made time for this book and finished it faster than I've ever finished a book.  It held me from the first page and, even though I had a feeling how it would end, I couldn't wait to get there and see how it was written.  The dialogue is captivating.  The characters make you want; to be friends with them.  A must have for the reading list!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3PRIBGACGBTVB?ASIN=014242417X	amazing!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I love this book it made me laugh, cry, and smile. But most importantly it was good it wasn't like other books where there's boring parts, or that drag along with nothing happening everything fused together perfectly. The worst part was that it's over. It's brilliantly written with every detail giving spectacular affect. I can't wait to start another book by the wonderful author John Green. P.S. DFTBA</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1I2Q2WLXXORTM?ASIN=014242417X	The fault in our stars is a great book.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">It is very sad, but you need to think about how the characters in this book view life. They aren't afraid of death. They think of life as a side effect of death. I don't think that Hazel was very sad to be dying, she wanted to make sure that her friends didn't get hurt from her death. She was scared that she was like a bomb, blows up and hurts anyone in sight. This is a great book, but it is very sad.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RH3RAJPF41FPR?ASIN=014242417X	The side effects of cancer are many	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Helps you understand about having cancer and the realistic mixed emotions. It was disappointing that the author, Peter van Houtem ended up being an ungracious character but he too was a victim, or side effect of cancer. As someone who is a recent cancer survivor I could relate to the feelings and situations presented in this novel. As a teacher of English, many of my students have enjoyed this novel.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1JYE9O4RE55HO?ASIN=014242417X	Touching, Intelligent and Real	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I recommend ""A Fault in Our Stars"" unconditionally. Although, it is a love story about two teens with cancer and their families it is not a gratuitous tear jerker in any way. It is a real story with real life loving characters whose wit, humor, and love override the underlying struggle. Some stories just cut to the essence of life and relationships; this is one of them. You will love it too!!</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1EUQEQPGCEWOZ?ASIN=014242417X	John Green is amazing writer.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I have read other  Green 's books ,but this by far is my favorite! I connected with the characters and feel in love with them as I read there stories. It's well written and takes you on an adventure that we'll make you happy, sad, mad, and confused. When I fished the book I found myself just as Hazel did, wondering what has become of Hazel and Isaac. I loved the book and would recommend it to anyone.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2WRIMTS02NU7S?ASIN=014242417X	Not a fan.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I feel like you have to be a hipster to like John Green's books. I wanted to love this, I really did. I thought the plot sounded fantastic. However, I wish it were more realistic. High school kids talking as though they are college professors? Come on. They all came off as a bunch of hipsters who thought they were better than anyone else out there. I don't understand how this book became so popular.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1HZLIK19OX1AS?ASIN=014242417X	Awesome	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was really sad,it had twists and turns about young long lasting love. The main thing I caught was that in the end, I thought the theme was a life story but then, I thought it over and said best quote ever ""dont let love go when you know that its going to last."" Best book ever gonna keep reading forever buy the book andcry have an adventure of the Story/quoting life of Hazel Grace Lancaster</span>"
1.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RNH8E3WOR9EHA?ASIN=014242417X	A side effect of cancer	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">My daughter talked me into buying this book for her. I read it after she did and had trouble putting it down. Now she asked me to give the book back to her. I might buy my own copy. I fell in love with Augustus Waters, he would do anything for Hazel Grace. My favorite part of the book is egging Monica's car, she did a horrible injustice to poor Isaac. I am going to look for more books by John Green.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1XWA4OU8N6Y0S?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was amazing. It really spoke to me. I love how Hazel wasn't weak. She knew what was coming and knew she wouldn't live forever. Her and Augustus are an amazing couple. They're both so strong, and they both understand  the world in different ways, making them perfect for each other. After reading this, I realized that things can be worse, and even if they are that bad, things can get better.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RWYRQWU14YE2E?ASIN=014242417X	Love it!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">At this time, everyone must know that this is one of the greatest books of 2012 and blablabla, but it really is. Because it's YA, the content is very deep, but the language is simple. The characters are very well build, so you can relate to them and cheer for their story. In no time, you will fall in love with Hazel Grace and Augustus. It's the kind of book that you will want to finish in one night.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R25Z3I9PO85BXY?ASIN=014242417X	I just can't even	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is so wonderful. I laughed, I cried, I fell in love. I have goosebumps just moments after reading it. And I almost can't wait to read it again even though it is one of the single most emotionally trying books I have ever read. It is such a beautiful work of art. I can't recommend this book to other readers enough. What can I say? It made me feel beautiful and sad. It made me feel infinite.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RYB36UP0E2343?ASIN=014242417X	Very inspiring!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">When I bought this book, I worried it might be too girly.<br/><br/>As it turns out, it was, but not in the usual ""twilight"" kind of way; it's characters turned out to be incredibly realistic, each with very real and serious concerns about very real aspects of their lives<br/> and what some people in their condition go through.<br/><br/>I can foresee I will be revisiting this book in the future.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R17PSDUCELBF0Z?ASIN=014242417X	Heartbreakingly Beautiful	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was witty and smart and had me laughing as tears rolled down my face. My family is experiencing something very similar to this story and I found this book to be healing. There is no way to know how to deal with these situations, but these kids and their take on life helped somehow. Maybe this book is for me what An Imperial Affliction was for them. Thank you for writing this...I needed it.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R25G3M2CXUIP2M?ASIN=014242417X	Absolutely amazing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book gives hope and provides understanding to the world of cancer and the effects that it has on those that it inhabits. I have never been so upset that a book has ended and I wish more deeply than anyone could imagine that I could take hazel and agustus with me now that the book is over. I am left with the awful feeling that I will never find anything near as satisfying as this book was to me.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R895CP4GXSQ71?ASIN=014242417X	Another 5-star review	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book lived up to its hype.  John Green wrote a book that made me go on the emotional roller coaster with the characters.  I loved every minute of it.  I actually did not cry that much during the book since I essentially guessed what was going to happen.  But the letter at the end tipped me over!  So beautiful and elegant!  I am so glad I bought this book so I can read it over and over and over!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3STC0XST1L0H1?ASIN=014242417X	I want to reread	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">On the cover a guy says that its a staccato of humor and tragedy. I truly cannot find a better way of putting it. In one chapter I went from crying from laughter to holding a lump in my throat to try not to cry to then finally letting go. I am certainly going to reread it to make notes on sections I want to tell others about or quotes I like. If your thinking about this book just get it...right now.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R9XG6L8O6Z7O3?ASIN=014242417X	This is a book that will make you smile, laugh, cry and smile some more.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">So often we are preoccupied by what we should add to our ""bucket list"" and as that list gets longer, we forget to live in the smaller moments.  The Fault in our Stars reminds us that it is the smaller moments that should be our ""bucket list"".  Hazel's story doesn't end with the reader feeling sorry for her; instead you feel like a better person because you witnessed how she and Gus lived and loved.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1H2K51YBO53KV?ASIN=014242417X	Well worth reading	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I enjoyed this book on so many levels. It's a beautiful story that deals with a tough subject in an honest and forthcoming way. The characters are strong and 'real'. The telling of the story from a teen's perspective deals with the subject matter in a whole different way. I would recommend this book to young adults as well as to grown ups who could learn to look at cancer and death a whole new way.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2SFIAU69GZX2Z?ASIN=014242417X	beautifully tragic	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Although this book made me depressed ninety percent of the time, it was welcomed. I like the feeling of  getting too wrapped up in characters and having a little piece of you wish they were real; so you wouldn't feel so dumb, for crying every time they were hurt and smiling whenever they felt joy. I'm not saying this book won't disappoint you, because it will, but to me that's what made it so good.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R19JH6ETLLOQK8?ASIN=014242417X	Best book I've ever read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Amazing book overall. I cried at moments and laughed at others. This is the kind of book you never want to end. Huge round of applause to John Greene for his amazing work. Augustus Waters- I will love you forever! Hazel reminded me a lot of Talia Joy Castellano, although they were fighting different types of cancer their attitudes were so similar. Thank you John Greene for this beyond amazing read.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2QXW0RRHUTY24?ASIN=014242417X	A very thought provoking book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I recently read this book on the recommendation of my granddaughter. I found it very interesting in the way in which it was written. A must read ,giving an insight into how cancer patients react with each other. The book although quite sad, is not at all morbid.<br/>For any one touched by childhood cancer, this book gives the ups &amp; downs in a very realistic way.<br/>Certainly worthwhile reading.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2MFDIA1XV8LIS?ASIN=014242417X	Touching, realistic, awesome	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is easily John Green's best novel so far. It was gripping and emotional, but never in a way that made it feel cheesy or manipulative. It was a story about two teens - Hazel Grace Lancaster and Augustus Waters - who were living with cancer, but I never felt like it was a book about cancer. I'm not sure that I can really do the book justice with a review, except to say that it was just lovely.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3RU140N8TMT3A?ASIN=014242417X	THIS IS A MAJOR HAVE TO READ!!!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Plenty of people have told you that this is a very sad/depressing story and it is but it is so sweet. The way the Green decided to end the book was a dream killer but throughout the rest of the book you will love the story. I couldn't put it down. If you are not so fond of the begging then you need to keep reading cause I don't know who in the world could possibly hate this book. I loved it!!!!!!</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2BTUPK6WIOYLQ?ASIN=014242417X	The fault in our stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read this book because so many people seemed to find it interesting (especially young adults) it was a difficult story of young love that not only was not pure mush but was beautifully written. although the story is fiction, in this day and age it could be real. there were times when I could relate to the story and the struggles of dealing with cancer and death.a good read, couldn't put it down</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R69R6MS21S59X?ASIN=014242417X	My kids loved it.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">My 12 and 14 year olds have read this and loved it. I want to read it next since they had good things to say about it. My 12 year old son liked reading about how the character handled a difficult situation. He found it interesting and a good read. Didn't take him long to finish and he would recommend it to others as a great book. Worth the purchase for sure if two of my kids gave it high ratings.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R15FDVKXLLWNRT?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read this book for school because I needed a silent reading book, I'm not a big reader but... WOW what an amazing story. I can relate to hazel so much but if u can't the u can really learn from her I just didn't want to finish it, it made me almost cry that the story was over and so was the live of hazel...that I will ever get to know about. I would absolutely read this book it changed my life.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1479ON8CYO6LU?ASIN=014242417X	The story of my heart bursting	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Sad but it must be read. No, you do not get a choice. This book is to romance stories as Oliver Cromwell is to kings. They perform the same duty but one is remembered more than the other. This book shall not fear oblivion, as it is entwined with the world with no true definition to a category. Not love, disease, or life book. It is simply, I suppose, the true book of the side effects of dying.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2ARXOU7WU48KA?ASIN=014242417X	One of my top 10's of the year!!!!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">WOW!!! The author has a unique ability to take morose subject matter and make it bitter sweet, funny, and hopeful. I thought I would hate this book! Thought it would be far too sad to stomach. I could not have been more wrong. While I did cry for a good 10 minutes after the ending, they were tears of hope with a renewed respect for the human spirit. LOVED this book. So incredible well written.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2Z6NUYFGVNULN?ASIN=014242417X	One of my favorites	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I could not put this book down. I was cautious with it at first, wondering if I would be interested in the life of Hazel- the main character in the story...but I got so overwhelemed with what was going to happen next in this story, I found myself putting off things I needed to do on a daily basis. Warning: be prepared to cry if you are going to read this. It is a great tale of life and love...</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R70I03Y128W5W?ASIN=014242417X	very well written	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is not the type of story I would normally go for.  Books with such a premise can so easily become melo-dramatic, cliche, and just plain depressing.  So it's a tribute to Green's writing that he can take what could have been a cheesy ""A Walk To Remember 2"" and instead create a lovely and engaging story that had me both laughing and crying in spite of myself.  Absolutely recommend.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R15LFM24JE4XOF?ASIN=014242417X	Insightful	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Not only did this book make me laugh, and cry, it made me think. It has been awhile since a book caused me to examine my own views on thus world we are living in and the life I am living. It is a constant page turner and I loved the lessons and the love story along the way. Thank you John green for a book that can hopefully change some of the way so many young people live in this world today.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R19EM6OPKTDYBX?ASIN=014242417X	Must Read!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">It's unfortunate that someone told me the ending beforehand. I must have issues because I still decided to read it anyway. I'm glad I did and I think a part of me is happy that I could slightly prepare myself. Slightly, it was still hard to read. I don't think I've ever laughed or cried so hard in one book. It was beautifully written, combined with a touching story that I could not put down.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RPGNPAMWRT979?ASIN=014242417X	If Only There Were More Than 5 Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I love this book!! It is an excellent novel for junior high and high school. I love how this book has all the things I'm looking for such as a captivating love story, comedy, and an all-around heart warming novel. I would (and all ready have) recommend this to all of my friends and family. This book, without a doubt, will stay in your hands from the second you start until the very last word.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I'd like to say that this book is everything amazing that everyone else mentioned AND also very entertaining with sweet and witty humor throughout most of the book.  It was very easy for me to get hooked right away.  I think guys would enjoy this book too!  Not just for girls.  :)  And I suppose I have a thing for star-crossed lovers and boys with one leg.  ;)  p.s.  Don't read any spoilers!</span>"

My heart hurts for these incredibly well developed, deep characters. This is the type of book that you sit and think about and cry about and re-read time and time again. This that book. It makes you feel like you just met a whole town of new people and they're your best friends giving you a window into their lives. Thank you John Green. Thank you.</span>"

I was looking to start reading again, and picked up this one because I heard of the positive reviews. It was so much better than I expected. I read it in less than 5 days because i literally could NOT put it down! I laughed quite often, and cried probably the same amount, and I love when books can do that to the reader. This is a fabulous book and I recommend it to anyone!</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1ZSIEH7VPX9TC?ASIN=014242417X	First book I ever cried over...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I knew the tears would come but they came like rain. At first the book seemed cliche but I began to really love the characters. after that I couldn't hope more for a happy ending for them. I think it's ironic that we don't find out if the girl survives in book and the book mentioned in it. I love the romance. But it hurt to read because it broke my heart completely. Breathtakingly beautiful</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1ISA3JQSHWQGK?ASIN=014242417X	Pleasantly surprised!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I randomly picked this book off Amazon reviews, didn't know the author (although I guess he is a reasonably big name). It didn't seem like a plot line I would enjoy but it had good reviews, and I can see why! There is some really profound and amazing dialog, much more mature than you would expect from the teenage characters. I've recommended it several times and bought a copy for Christmas!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1KVL7J0GKSLR7?ASIN=014242417X	the fault in our stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was amazing. When I started this book, I was struggling with depression, and I started this book because it was recommended to me several times, so I read it. John Green's characters made me change my views on so many things. It's taught me so much about life, and love, and hurt, and heroes, and how to keep living and this book has really changed my life. I strongly recommend it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2DV3AY9L0XUN1?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is one of those books you long for when you start a new book. You can't put it down, you connect with the characters and you dread actually finishing it because you never want it to end. The characters are supremely written and that becomes apparent in the first few pages. The story itself is heartwarming, and also realistic. I have been highly recommending this book to everyone!</span>"

I just finished it and I still have tear marks on my cheeks. I didn't really want to read it at first but i did anyways because everybody is talking about hoe amazing John Green is. This is the first book that I read by him and all I have to say is : oh my God. If you aren't reading this then I don't know what you're waiting for</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R39KLHIC5CX3C5?ASIN=014242417X	Really Great Book!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is one of the best books my book club has read in years.  We had a worthwhile discussion because this book is so well-written.  The two main characters are fully developed. The secondary characters are developed to add a great deal to the book.  Even though the book was about terminally ill teenagers, it was not maudlin.  I highly recommend it to anyone who loves a well-crafted story.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1104Q9DCUVKB7?ASIN=014242417X	Perfect	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is definitely worth your time!! It has the perfect use of innocence that compliments its unadulterated story. You become one with the main character, Hazel Grace, with the very first sentence. It is extremely descriptive in such a short amount of pages you don't want it to end! You really become a part of the story. One of those books you can't put done!!! Kudos to John Green!!!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2XP0PXTTE065I?ASIN=014242417X	Heart Touching and Eye Opening	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is amazing, no joke.  Two teenagers with cancer that fall in love, and face the challenges with their illnesses together, *sigh* it's a beautiful story of love, life, death, noticing the little things, curiosity, and perseverance, John Green did a wonderful job!  I recommend this for the more mature readers because it covers rather deep topics.  I'm looking forward to the movie!</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3AARNVOTNA10Z?ASIN=014242417X	So beautiful	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">There was nothing about this book which wasn't beautiful and striking and heart string pulling.  There were parts that made me laugh and parts that made me cry.  This book was so perfectly set up and so perfect in every respect that I cannot give it any less than five stars and I can't express how much this book sucked me in and wouldn't let go as I rode a roller coaster that only went up</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R367CGT80FSM88?ASIN=014242417X	Wow!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Amazing and awe inspiring! I was expecting it to be amazing because of what I've heard but this really was inspirational. one of my best friends just got diagnosed with stage three bone cancer so I decided to read it with her, and afterwards she told me that she would be Hazel because Hazel is everything she ever wanted to be even before she got diagnosed. I most definitely recommend it!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3B9IKXBONS0RX?ASIN=014242417X	Loved it	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This was both amazing and sad.<br/>I loved it so much &amp; I recommend it to everyone.  Maybe you all will find yourselves falling under Augustus's spell or Hazel's intelligence. Because I have. I have fallen so deeply for these characters, I'm not sure if I'll find a way out.<br/><br/>Thank you to Mr. John Green for such a beautiful book.<br/>Thanks for helping me make two new friends.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2TC4U47J6ZVDE?ASIN=014242417X	beautiful.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">My father passed from pancreatic cancer a little over three months ago so this book really hit home and made me think of him and his fight. It was so moving and wonderfully written and just beautiful.  Cancer sucks and this book doesn't sugar coat it, just tells it how it is.  I would recommend it to anyone who asked. The last few chapters are tear jerk eras, at least, for me so beware.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3UDT36RXQ49OG?ASIN=014242417X	Review: The Fault in Our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I give this book five out of five stars as it has everything I typically look for in a book. Well-developed characters, humor, and an engrossing relational story.  I also really enjoyed the literary references to T.S. Elliot's Prufrocks. Its a little bit of a tear-jerker at times, but its a fast and moving read. Would totally read it again and am excited to see the movie this summer :).</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1IH5IPKY8DYTF?ASIN=014242417X	Lived Up to the Hype	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I bought this book after it being recommended by at least half a dozen of my friends. It's real, and honest. The kind of novel you read and thank the writer for saying the things we think but wouldn't dare to say. Well developed characters and excellent dialogue. Worth buying as a gift or for yourself. I'd just like to note it's more of a young adult book but necessarily for teens only.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1Y1OH8CZW13CL?ASIN=014242417X	Wonderful and well written	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I have not read a book in 3 days since I was a child. I'm not big on reading mostly because most books cannot keep my interest. This isn't the type of book I usually read either. This was super. I would say that everyone should read this and fall in love with the characters and feel what they felt as I did while reading. GREAT JOB John Green. I'll keep up with your YouTube blogs. DFTBA!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R29JG0V10BB4JT?ASIN=014242417X	Snappy dialogue--very emotionally intelligent novel!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I highly recommend this young adult novel for it's wry humor, honesty, and gut-wrenching plot.  If this doesn't make you appreciate your health and long life, nothing will!  One of my ninth-grade students (boy) was reading this at the same time I was.  We both were in awe!  One romantic scene in particular might offend conservative parents, but it's nothing most kids haven't seen on TV.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2QE34X452J01N?ASIN=014242417X	I thought the story was fine with a nice little twist however	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I thought the story was fine with a nice little twist however, for such an emotional subject I just didn't feel it. I felt the characters were lacking and I found them less than likable. The whole vibe of the book had this weird alternative vibe like the characters were supposed to be deeper than they were and it just didn't fit. I know most people loved it but it just wasn't my taste.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RWQ3YY5W86K4Q?ASIN=014242417X	Beautiful	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was absolutely amazing! I've read John Greens ""Looking for Alaska"" but ""The Fault in Our Stars"" was beyond compare!!! It made me really think about life and how I should live everyday like my last and of course I cried like a baby I'm not even embarrassed and I wished that Gus was a real person. I can't wait to see the movie, this is now my favorite book and always will be &lt;3</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RBGAFZGN7YWPL?ASIN=014242417X	An amazing beautifully written story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">On the surface one would think that a story about teens dying from cancer would be incredibly depressing, but Brown manages to make this lovely story uplifting.  The characters are so real and engaging that I could feel their heartache.  Instead of being a story about dying, it is more about how to make the most out of living.  I read it in one day and was so sad when I got to the end.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2QZW3AWY5E68V?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars is one of those books that makes you ponder about the greater meaning in life. It is about this young girl who has been diagnosed with pulmonary cancer. She meets a boy called Agustus who is a Cancer survivor himself. She discovers the greater meaning in life. This is a book about a brave ongoing fight, love and trying to fit in and find your place in this world.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R17DVH5OQ5SXB6?ASIN=014242417X	Okay but at the same time not okay	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was great but at the same time devastating. I knew it was going to be sad because I was told but I did not expect this. I was pleased though....... in a way happy books are the saddest. Happy impossible endings are sometimes more wrong and sad then heart breaking reality endings. In all it was a amazing book that I could not put down. I would defiantly recommend it to anyone.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RASQVYDQEKBUT?ASIN=014242417X	I laughed I cried	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Reading this book I must say was incredibly hard. My mother had lymphoma cancer and is in remission and I put my self in opposite position. What would happen to us if either one had died. Although this love story did make my laugh very loud, out loud. It also brought me to tears at least twice. I recommend everyone to read this. I sincerely hope that they do.<br/>Purely life changing.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3N4GYR7SC4NNO?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing and inspirational	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is one of the best books I have read in a while. I LOVE how realistic it is. Many of the books you find out there are all sappy love stories or quick relationships. In this books, I just love how Gus's and hazels relationship develops throughout the story and really gives us time to get to know them. This book also contains some outstanding quotes and thoughtful thoughts. Love it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2GAMGU2HH6R17?ASIN=014242417X	Awesome Book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is Gary's wife writing this review. This book was excellent.  I am a 61 year old woman &amp; have been battling ovarian cancer for seven years.  Even though I am an adult, I can still relate to the thoughts &amp; feelings of the much younger characters.  I have already recommended it to several adults.  The book is well written &amp; deeply moving.  I plan to see the movie when it comes out.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3S9IQCD913485?ASIN=014242417X	bittersweet	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Beautiful, yet sad. This book really captures to lives of people with an incurable illness and ties in with a first love. It pulled on my heart and made me laugh all in the same chapters. John Green, as an author, was introduced to me through this book and through his writing, I will continue to be a fan. He's great with words and story. Definitely a book I would recommend to others.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2XYQBWRTIT49C?ASIN=014242417X	Great book.l	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I loved this book so much, I wish there was more to it. I recommend this book to anyone who has lost a loved one to cancer, it gives you a whole different perspective on what they're going through. I lost my dad to adenoid cystic carcinoma, and it gave me a different view on how he probably<br/>felt. I will probably read this book multiple times in the future. Thank you, John Green.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3EC1V7UI7X32G?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing shouldn't have put it off.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I adored this book. It isn't often where you discover a book about dying that is so life affirming. My point words cannot adequately describe the bittersweet joy it was to devour this book and how much I am looking forward to dissecting and ruminating each beautiful nuance. Thank you John Green for writing such deep and realistic characters and for letting us fall in love with them.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RUTJMPTACKSHJ?ASIN=014242417X	Best book in decades!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is hands down one of the best books I have read in decades.  My thirteen year old granddaughter read it first and recommended it to me.  Although I was hesitant to read it at first due to the very sad subject matter, I was instantly hooked.  John Greene is a gifted, intelligent, and extremely unique author.  The love story is beautiful and the characters live in my heart still.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RJMFC3OIGD0RF?ASIN=014242417X	A must read!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">What a well written book about love and illness. After a long time a book has made me cry and that is partly due to the sarcasm and with and the un-pityful manner in which the author makes you feel not only so sad for the characters but also so grateful for my health.<br/>I thoroughly enjoyed this book and would definitely recommend it to my friends and family. John Green is a star</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2QV1JHVLFORAS?ASIN=014242417X	Another Great Read From John Green	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I have read several books written by John Green.  This book is my favorite out of them all.  I laughed and I cried while reading this.  I became attach ed d to the characters and wanted to know what was going to happen.  Some portions of the book make you stop and think about your life, your goals, where you are heading. I would highly recommend this book.  Nerdfigjters for the win!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3F0ZYOM9JHZRZ?ASIN=014242417X	A REAL story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book brings to life what happens in the real world, most sex offenders will choose their victims within their own families, and never see the evil in their actions and victims almost never get any answers but will repress what has been done. It brought me to tears, it made me angry, it also reminds how victims are strong enough to survive and move forward with life, great read.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RURRBMYIC3IEP?ASIN=014242417X	Masterpiece (NO SPOILERS)	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is truly a work of art. John Green has captured the emotional turmoil of cancer in the most realistic and touching way - by looking at it through the eyes of a patient. All of the characters are real people with depth and emotion, and not just ""cancer kids"". Hazel and Gus are real, living, breathing human beings, and I am so grateful to John for bringing them into my life.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2L9FMMMI46D2V?ASIN=014242417X	Inspiring.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The lives of the teens illustrated in the book certainly make you stand up and take notice of how blessed we are.  Very interesting, especially since I am in the medical field.  They really give you and indepth view of their most personal thoughts.  Sometimes, we don't like to think about it,  but there are many more children facing the challenges of life and death. God Bless them.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3IW58T5W3XD2C?ASIN=014242417X	Love with cancer	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This was not the usual cancer story.  I have had friends with cancer and I have wondered what does one talk about with this person.  This book opened my eyes on what to say or not.  It let you know what the cancer victim is feeling and what you can do to help.<br/>The ending was a surprise  but when you are reading about teenagers with cancer you have to expect some heart breaks.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R335FA8OY2SFAE?ASIN=014242417X	Easy, emotional read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This was a book club selection that I enjoyed.  Extremely quick read, if not somewhat cliche.  While the voice is that of a teenage girl, I felt Green did a good job of elevating the language into a believable, intelligent account of how a terminally ill adolescent can hold the dichotomy of alarming maturity and perspective while also possessing an endearing innocence and naïveté.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R10QPM4BLSW0WH?ASIN=014242417X	Desperate book seeking attention from the universe.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Reading this book will bring you nothing but heartache, but in a good way. You understand the being of humans and the meaning of love, and how you yourself are not looking for attention but the universe looking for your attention. I recommend this to open minded people who can handle diversity in such a book as The Fault In our Stars. Happy reading and keep a box of tissues close.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2WRPIWEI5R2ET?ASIN=014242417X	oh. my. heavens.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Yep, definitely still crying.<br/><br/>If you have any time at all, read this book. Put some perspective into your life. Life is beautiful. This book is beautiful and this author is a genius. The symbols, the metaphors, the love. I just can't even express the way this book unravels other than, you need to read it.<br/><br/>Also, if you do not cry, you're a robot and heartless.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RHBPPW1PI750C?ASIN=014242417X	Possibly the best book I have ever read.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">John Green basically breaks heart for a living. TFIOS brings up so many emotions that while reading it I didn't even know what to feel. This book is a work of art that starts to feel like is happening in your life as you read. It becomes a part of you, and I don't think I will ever forget this book. Lets just say that John Green can very well fathom his stars into constellations.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1SQL3HL701PDX?ASIN=014242417X	Life and Death Too Early	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This was an educational read, told in a series of teenage one-liners, that strangely, had me crying through most of the story.  Adolescence is no time to struggle  with cancer, falling in love, and finding that heroes have feet of clay.  We all have a finite lifetime, but for the two stars of this story, it is far too short.  Try it.  It will give you a new perspective on living.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RV4X09QG4VKVM?ASIN=014242417X	Everyone should read this	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Funny, touching, meaningful and smartly written, ""The Fault in the Our Stars"" presents characters facing up to the scariest circumstances — cancer in myriad forms. You'll come to care about them, deeply, and not just them, but their parents and friends. I read a review that calls this book ""damn near genius."" I just wish I could think of a better phrase than that.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3174B06ZLKQ63?ASIN=014242417X	Tear jerk-er	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">A touching novel about two young teenagers suffering from the side effects of dying..cancer..Love, tragedy, spirit, and charisma . Makes you reflect back on your own life and value and cherish what you have and how lucky you truly are. Recommended for anyone who will take the time to truly read and understand the hardships and sincerity of this novel which is brilliantly written.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RWYTDCG6Q22QC?ASIN=014242417X	Wow!!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is the first book I ever read by John Green and I was a little skeptical about it but once I opened the book and started to read I was completely captivated by this book ! His writing style flows nicely and it keeps you intrigued without getting bored to where you feel like skipping chapters . The book was phenomenal and I recommend that everyone takes a chance and reads it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1EVQM2CBD8AD7?ASIN=014242417X	Rich, deep and profound	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">A beautifully written, compelling novel that  immediately inserts you into the lives of the characters.  Definitely not the usual novel about adolescent angst.  Deep, rich human insight and emotion.  Laughter and tears.  I definitely will recommend this book, but carefully,  because of the loss people have or are experiencing in their lives.  I feel enriched from having read it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RB4Q93DMWDZIN?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book will change the way you look at things. When you read the description you might not want to read the book because  it's about kids/teens with cancer but this book is amazing. After you read it you will look at the world differently. This book will put you in tears but will also make you smile and laugh and warm your heart.  I hope all you enjoy the book as much as me.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1CK560GCRLTUX?ASIN=014242417X	Truly enlightening	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was truly amazing. As a young person in today's world, it is sometimes easy to miss the small gestures of love that others do for us. This book shows the beauty of those small gestures of love. The love that the 2 main characters shared in such a short amount of time is something that only a handful of us will be able to enjoy. Go and read this book. Totally worth it.</span>"

John Green has not ceased to amaze me with his remarkable talent. Don't hesitate to buy this book-- it will be one that will stick with you for a lifetime. Better yet, don't hesitate to buy any book that John Green wrote.<br/>I've already loaned my copy to my sister.<br/><br/>Nerdfighters, my J Scribble is in purple.<br/>Also, DFTBA.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">i loved the fault in our stars because even if the words are writen on paper you feel that you are living hazels life. what i also loved about the book is that the cancer is there not to make fun of people or to make it into a cancer book but but to tell us that not all people are as lucky you are and that you should be happy with what you have got (or with what you dont have)</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R556S6M7MJQMM?ASIN=014242417X	Pleasantly Surprised	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I had very little interest in reading a book about teenagers with cancer, especially while on vacation.  Too depressing I thought, I'm too old to read a book about teenagers I thought.  I thought wrong.  This book was excellent.  I laughed out loud so many times and was able to actually relate to the characters.  I truly loved this book and look forward to reading it again.  .</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1I7TKKBIX71HP?ASIN=014242417X	Simply amazing.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">When you think about a book about teenagers dying of cancer, you are likely to assume it's not going to be a big pick-me-up.  But this beautiful, funny, heart-wrenching novel was one of the most visceral and up-lifting books I have read in years.  It's on my personal list of classics and one I would recommend to anyone looking for something to read with real depth and insight.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2JXSTQ9OXL3WJ?ASIN=014242417X	Beautiful story, John Green does it again for his young adult followers	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is an absolutely precious story about a girl with cancer who finds love against all odds and stays through thick and thin. Real tearjerker throughout. As a young adult follower of John Green through his books and Youtube projects, I couldn't put this book down! Highly recommend to any young adult reader (great appeal to high schoolers) this and any other John Green novel.</span>"

Loved the characters and just overall enjoyed the story.  I envision reading this book again sometime in the near future.  I do think this book has the potential to get lots of hype then some people read it and don't understand why, so I'm glad I don't fall in the category. This was my first John Green book to read and I must read more from him.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1XJXNH3EH1K60?ASIN=014242417X	I can't even describe this work of art disguised as a novel	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is drop dead amazing. It has it all: love, humor, action, tragedy. It leads you down one path before shoving you down another. It captures a love story, never before chronicled.  I know it's shallow, but I have never cried so much and so hard as I did reading this. The characters are so well written they seem alive. The Mona Lisa of book's; right here in your hands.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1B33QY8P54KBD?ASIN=014242417X	great book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I tend buy books based on their cover art... needless to say I've read a lot of aweful books with beautiful covers... not this one.  Despite the fact that you know the sad truth about the protagonist from the get-go, it is a beautiful story of life and love, growing pains, and finding yourself.  I enjoyed reading every second of this book, even the parts I read through tears.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1BPSCXR5X7QH9?ASIN=014242417X	There is seriously not enough stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book deserves more than five stars. It deserves a million. More than a million actually. It deserves a trillion or googooplex haha that's not even a number. The fault in our stars is the perfect mix between comedy, romance, and sadness. It's too perfect. I laughed and cried and now I'm very upset that the ending was so amazingly perfectly sad it was just... Extraordinary</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3KY46QXQV6O9S?ASIN=014242417X	Life can be harsh and incredibly unfair	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">A great young adult read that can certainly be enjoyed by the not-so-young adult crowd.  Life is complex and these characters take on a tougher than usual ""coming of age"" experience.  A great read- although I found the characters to be a bit too sophisticated to be completely believable (hence 4 stars instead of 5) but still an enjoyable read for teenagers and adults.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1PYICBADCL5OX?ASIN=014242417X	I can't believe I loved it this much	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book made me feel so much. I felt like the Hazel and Augustus, Hazel's parents, Issac, and even Patrick from the support group were real people. That they had lives being lived out, and thought about. I felt so much for them by the end that I couldn't stop reading.<br/><br/>This book has taught me so much about, not only myself, but about life too.<br/><br/>I'd recommend it to anyone.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2F9ZYBJSASUP8?ASIN=014242417X	Amazingly  stupendous	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Everyone that has told me of this book was right. It shows the meaning of everything, that cancer is tough. That true love comes with a price. Even if it's not death, you pay a price for everything. I bet that after this rating, i will go and read the book 6 more times. As for anyone who didn't give this book adleast a 3star rating, well you my friend are a Peter Van Houten.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R15NH9KG982DGU?ASIN=014242417X	LOVED this book!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Simply loved this book! So beautifully written that I often stopped to marvel at how wonderful those words were together. Hazel and Augustus are smart and witty and young and even more alive than most people because they exist closer to death than most. John Green was able to write about pain in such a way that it was both joyful and more painful at the same time. Brilliant!</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RJ84FF6MLMP1H?ASIN=014242417X	A Story for All Ages	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">i loved this book. I was a little worried when I chose it, because the 2 people I am closest to are terminally ill.  But, the book is touching, insightful and funny.  It made me laugh and cry.  It is not an intentional tear-jerker and it has some unpredictable moments.  It's a wonderful book for young adults and all adults. I look forward to reading John Green's other books.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R20ILQ35OPVPZ8?ASIN=014242417X	John's best book yet	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I don't have much to say about this book, except that it's absolutely amazing.  It is, in my opinion and in the opinion of many others, John's best book to date.  It's funny, sad, philosophical and amazingly emotional.  I sat down at my desk and stood up six hours later having finished the entire book without realizing how much time had gone by.  I can't recommend it enough.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1UKYNH97DGUG3?ASIN=014242417X	Thanks, John!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This wonderful book is real life.  I laughed, cried and now that I've finished it, think about it constantly.  Thank you John Green!  You've given us an inside look at what so many people are actually going through and you've managed to show us all aspects through the characters.  I will recommend this to every one of my relatives and friends.<br/><br/>Sandy, Buffalo, WY.</span>"

It's not sappy, although it has moments of sadness. John Green's word choices and phrases are sophisticated for the age group of his audience. I will read through his other works. I wish he would round out the characters of the parents. They seem like by-products or they are just there to make the mortgage payments.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3TI1UKMNDL0NT?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing Book!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read a lot...and have never written a review even though I tend to enjoy most of the books I read. This is the kind of book you can't put down, but at the same time you get angry that you are reading it so quickly because you want to enjoy it longer. I managed to read this book in a day and I know the next book I read will not even come close to being as good as this one.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RDOTCPKJW8FB1?ASIN=014242417X	A Feel Good Tear Jerker	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I purchased this in Kindle, but I didn't have enough time to read it, so I purchased the audio version so I could listen to it in my car. It was such a captivating story about terminally ill teenagers who have found true love.<br/>At the end of the audio version, there was an exclusive author with John Green himself which was an added bonus.<br/>A must read for everyone.</span>"

I loved the teenager angle, though I am 32, as it was wide open to new experiences and also cynical enough to make every situation humorous.<br/><br/>I am buying this book for so many people in my life who know those dealing with cancer.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2QZNXEPVPRXAK?ASIN=014242417X	My review	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I chose this rating because I honestly loved the book. Also the name has the word stars in it and why not give it more stars. I disliked the ending. why couldn't she have read the whole letter? it would have been more meaningful. I liked the love story. I have always loved love stories. This book should be read by hopeless a romantic too who likes sad and emotional books.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">John Green captured the lives of two teenagers stricken with a ""side effect"" of life.  Through his story about Hazel and Augustus, it brought to light the unexpected turns that might inevitably face us and how living our lives as the two main characters did will at least offer happiness in the time we have with the ones we love.  I was deeply touched and inspired.</span>"

I love that the author chooses to narrate the story as a female. It speaks the truth of terminal disease--even if no one is willing to say it in public. I laughed out loud &amp; cried (mocking myself for crying). I thoroughly enjoyed the book.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read this book after seeing a lot about it in magazines and procuring a signed copy from Walmart. It was a fantastic story.

I just reread the book and it struck me just as hard. It has a lot of controversial thoughts that I didn't know could be so well put. It may be different for other readers but I didn't feel the need to want to argue the points in the book in fact I agree with most of them. I would recommend it to anyone with the ability to read.</span>"

I found that I actually had to put it down at one point and walk away because I felt like I was rushing through it too fast and it was so special that I wanted the experience to last.  It's a young adult book, but it thoroughly captivated this mid-30s woman!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3QN8CI21U17CJ?ASIN=014242417X	Great witty banter	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This isn't the typical teen romance novel. It is very smartly written, insightful, and honest. The dialogue would appeal most to those with a more dry sense of humor. This book, at times, says what many people are thinking but are too afraid to say out loud about grief and hardship. Overall though it is surprisingly not that depressing for the majority of the book.</span>"

This book was emotional, insightful, romantic, and gentle. I loved this book but I would say emotionally sensitive people should be on guard when reading this book.

I switched between laughing and crying through the entire book. At one point I didn't want to continue on because I had fallen in love with the characters and wanted this moment to just freeze in time. But, alas, I  had to finish the journey with them and I'm glad I did.  I recommend this book 100%, just keep those tissues close.</span>"

With that said, it kind of feels like it was written to inspire its readers to kill themselves. It was like watching every season finale of Grey's Anatomy, reading the death scenes of Dumbledore and Hedwig and Fred and Lupin and Tonks and Colin Creevy, then getting kicked in the stomach.<br/>But, you know, in a good way.</span>"

I absolutely love this book as an adult, a hopeful romantic and as someone desiring to leave my mark in this world.<br/><br/>Lastly, I simply love Augustus and hazel grace story. It should be read.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3MNPY88AYRSP5?ASIN=014242417X	brilliant and emotionally honest	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">As a young woman who lost her first love too soon (to a drunk driver) and has recently been diagnosed with a chronic illness, I found this to be one of the most honest, genuine and emotionally raw books I have ever read. I laughed, cried, and finished the book with sadness, but more importantly a sense of hope and non-aloneness. Extremely well written as well.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3GK7GBFCM1XCJ?ASIN=014242417X	good read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I enjoyed this book. It was my first John Green book and I read it on a whim. It was a pleasant surprise. At times you feel you may predict the outcome, but there are surprises. You should know the main characters are teenagers battling illness and experiencing their 'first love' at the same time. You will experience a range of emotions as their story unfolds.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R26ZBAXNOHAYTF?ASIN=014242417X	The fault in our stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I loved this book! There are all these books people say are page turners and I could never find that in a book. Until I read this book it took me one day to read. I honestly couldn't stop reading it. I loved the first love romance and Augustus smoking but not smoking. Just over all a great book I will read this again and might just be one of my favorite books.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3OQK5LUEHTA6S?ASIN=014242417X	Unbelievable	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">When I first read the reviews on this book, I was expecting a lot. After my final exams, I pulled out the book, and read it cover to cover in a day. By the end, I had laughed our loud, and then cried. The characters seem so real--it's like they're your friend too. This book makes you appreciate every day as you live it. It is one of my all time favorite books.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2NA6ZMBYQB5XW?ASIN=014242417X	An Amazing Amazing Book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I sat down to read this book yesterday, and was done by last night(although i did read though a class or two), and it was so phenomenal. I have said before that the only issues with any John Green book is that 1)They do not last long enough, and 2)They have a tendance to make me cry.<br/><br/>This book is perfect, and though it had sad moments, is made me feel good.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1ZDB85M3UB07Z?ASIN=014242417X	Raw and Moving - Couldnt put it down	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I saw the previous of the movie and decided to read the book.  John Green does a wonderful job expressing the raw emotions and the struggle many young people with cancer face.  I could not put this book down, I needed to know what was going to happen.  I would highly recommend this and warn you that you will both laugh and cry while reading this moving story.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3UOI0Q0K44QRZ?ASIN=014242417X	So thought provoking....	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I started this book along with my fifteen year old granddaughter.  A challenge of sorts.  Knowing nothing of the story line I was pleasantly surprised when the words quickly drew me in.  The lives of those knowing they have a terminal illness and the ongoing thoughts of their disease reappearing over time was so beautifully told.  I greatly enjoyed this read.</span>"

Repeat Step 1 as often as needed.<br/><br/>This is a book that I borrowed from a library because I wanted to see what all the hype was about. Then I had to have my own copy.  Keep in mind that this is a book written for younger audiences but that does not stop you from appreciating the great story and themes being presented.</span>"

The only negative part is that the book had to end!!<br/><br/>Christine Brown-Quinn<br/>Author of Step Aside Super Woman</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2BI9R49S9D0Z0?ASIN=014242417X	Beautiful Story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Im a picky reader. Its hard to find anythimg I can really indulge in. It was so interesting that I finished in two days. This book made me cry so much that my entire body shook. For a few days I was so depressed that my teacher suggested counseling. The ending was beautiful. Readers who enjoyed Stargirl and The Perks of Being a Wallflower will love this book.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RXAX0I5JKDFRW?ASIN=014242417X	Such a sad, but loving story!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I started reading this book yesterday, and I've never been so caught up in a book and in it's story ever in my life! I really regret how I didn't read this any sooner, it's such a good story! It's can be very sad, the ending makes you wanna cry some more after discovering that *SPOILER ALERT* Gus died. It's something worth reading. Love it, love it, love it!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1EIVGOXGNDAPQ?ASIN=014242417X	GREAT!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">LOVED this book.  John Green makes you love the characters right from the start.  They're smart and a little snarky sometimes.  They have interesting and real relationships and you just fall in love with each one of them.  Even the side characters.  The story is great too!  It made me laugh out loud, cry, and yearn to know more about their lives.  READ IT :)</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1R9KHEBDTL508?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Instead of making this story revolve around the cancer that these people had, John Green made the wise decision of making this a love story showing us that no matter how long we have with the person we love, any amount of infinity is well worth our time. We shouldn't waste our valuable and irreplaceable time together dwelling, we need to live in the moment.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2NHOWMBMYYRIA?ASIN=014242417X	Whats all the fuss about?	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was recommended to me and I dont usually go for the depressing story line. But there was a lot of rave about this book so I thought I would give it a go. I didnt connect with it at all, I found the teenage characters Gus &amp; Hazel unbelievable in their witty banter! Instead of heart warming it became annoying. Not sure how it became a 5 star read???</span>"

Can not get over how this book left me with a feeling or happiness and sadness mixed together to make something so perfect. But oh wow Augustus Water is the most desirable character. He is sexy, smart, gentle. I shall cover be searching for him.  Such a sad tale but</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3OI7899CR9MEQ?ASIN=014242417X	Genius	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">John Green is a genius and this book is absolutely beautiful. It is a startling and heartfelt story of two teens falling in love, in the midst of battling life threatening illnesses. Every page will have you clinging to the book for dear life as you lose the ability to can. Thank you, Mr. Green, for your literary contributions to the world.<br/><br/>DFTBA</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R35LA5UHCKDSD8?ASIN=014242417X	One of those stories that will stick with you	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Beautifully written, touching, and real. I finished this book last week and am still thinking about the characters daily. I'm glad  to have read this book, and look forward to reading more from this author in the future. I only hope that Green's other novels have the same depth of character and way of making me stop, think and be impacted as I move forward.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3N73465KDMOVT?ASIN=014242417X	good book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I wanted to read the book before going to see the movie as I always do. Books are so much better than the movies. I think by reading the book first it makes the movies make more sense because you know what they leave out and what they change. It's also helps to know the story as the author wrote it. So I recommend this book. It's real, it's sad, it's life.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RSNDUZ0O4TSRB?ASIN=014242417X	Great Read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">A coworker suggested this book to me and I loved it.  It was a quick read, but the story line is very cute.  In a quick summary, it's about a teenage girl who has cancer and falls in love for the first time in her life.  The boy she falls in love with also has cancer.  It is a very cute love story. Sad and humorous at the same time.  Quick, fantastic read!</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3MQ9TSAMILDFE?ASIN=014242417X	Best by Far	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">At first I did not want to read the book because the movie was coming out, but I realized that the movie coming out was my reason to read the book. I've read many books and this has to be my favorite. It has a mix of a love story and the tragedy of death by cancer. John Green did an AMAZING job. If all of his books are this great I will keep reading them.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R10TR29TMDS1EG?ASIN=014242417X	Struggles Real and Beautiful	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Three months ago, I lost my three-year-old son to a rare brain tumor. Perhaps I read this book to connect with him on some level, or because the protagonists' families shared my struggles. Whatever may have motivated me, I feel grateful that I have. John Green has written an amazing book, full of real and smart dialogue and complex and likable characters.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1VXRUN0T0W8CT?ASIN=014242417X	Wow	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book makes you feel every emotion possible, to the point where you are left drained of everything you have left. It does everything quickly but feels longer than it really is, making it perfect. I would recommend this book to anyone who has lost their humanity, and wants to feel it again, or anyone who just wants a book that will force them to think.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R38L81PNU3ZXSX?ASIN=014242417X	Great book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is one of my all time favorites. It tells you so much about the feeling of being in love but is not cheesy like most love story's. It also is about cancer but yet again John green does not make this book fell like a cancer novel. Another one of my favorite books is anna and the french kiss. I recommend that book very much of you liked this book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R815SRLUAUKW?ASIN=014242417X	Somber, but beautiful.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book isn't really cheerful or happy, but it is beautifully somber and I think we need more books like this. As humans, we love happy ending and we don't really deal with pain or sadness unless we have too. This book addresses this along with an engaging story line. I have to be in a certain mood to read it, but I'm sure I'll read it again and again.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3E4TQ9YNDI0A8?ASIN=014242417X	Nearly Perfect	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I finished this, tears streaming down my face, in one day. This book will touch your heart and stay with you long after you turn the last page. The characters are complex, realistic, and loveable, and their battles are tender and touching. Even if you don't know anyone who has battled cancer, you'll appreciate the raw emoption that this disease conjures.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1D9J9HVLSZP3V?ASIN=014242417X	Awesome Awesome AWESOME	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I absolutely love this book and ever since I read looking for Alaska back when I was younger, I fell in love with the writings of John Green. Only a few years later I find that John Green has a youtube channel. Thus begins my obsession with Nerdfighteria. Buying this book will absolutely be the best choice and it comes with a community of awesome people.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2X82CZLWK7S2H?ASIN=014242417X	Overrated	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">While this isn't the worst book I've ever read, it certainly is far from the best. With all of the hype and acclaim surrounding this YA novel, I expected an emotionally charged tale; however, I found it to be a long-winded, predictable story that attempted to manipulate emotions instead of examine them. Basically, I was very disappointed with this book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1WIZWZXNTQ59O?ASIN=014242417X	Great Read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I'm not an eloquent writer or frequent novel reviewer but I wanted to say that this book was a very great read. It portrays a side of the ill that we don't often see but is probably more realistic than anything. It was touching (and I'm a sentimental person) while all at the same time allowing you to smile and laugh through their (main characters) pain.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1QD3W4RKP6V75?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">What a wonderful and amazing book.  To look into the life of children who knew they were dying and having a sense of humor, the skill to know what a friend needs and the strength to do it.  Hazel and Gus are truely what love is all about.  I am a little scared of seeing the movie, nothing could top this.  Mr. Green,  Thank You for a most memorable book.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3F9GROJ1O6Y4X?ASIN=014242417X	Constellations	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">As the the late, great Augustus Waters said, ""My thoughts are stars that I cannot fathom info constellations.""<br/>An  I completely agree. I cannot  possibly described  how much this  book has helped me, and how this author, the amazing John Green, has given me a new perspective on life.<br/>All I can say is, this is a book that will change your life.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RNT5CYAUK7KAW?ASIN=014242417X	One of the best books I have EVER read!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I just bought this book and this morning and finished it about 20 minutes ago. I'm not usually and emotional person or a crier (hoped I spelled that right lol!), but this book had me in tears. I'm still trying to get over it. I was beautifully written and the emotion was so raw and real. I'm not going to say too much more so I don't start crying again:)</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R11GD1OWR0ZL14?ASIN=014242417X	Tear jerker but worth it	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I cried. If you have a heart of some kind you will cry too. Prepare for a great tear jerking, emotional beautiful work of art. I hate this book. It caused me to lose my body water through tears. This also coming from a person that cries at animal shelter commercials because they look so sad themselves. I recommend this book to everybody no matter what.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R5N4A6JPVN4E8?ASIN=014242417X	**Something Deep and Honest** because  I am not clever enough	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">It kind of made you want to think like Gus and Hazel. It made me as  that someone so honest and loving and funny and thoughtful wasn't able to make it to the end of the book, and had to go through what he did, and that he wasn't a real person that I was no to meet. The book mad  me want to try a  look at life differently because it could be worse. Okay</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3JB69GE9R0NLL?ASIN=014242417X	Fantastic!!!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I thought it was intriguing because it was funny, sappy, and told a good romance. I am not one for romance but this one left its mark on me. It was so delightful! I would suggest that little readers read another book because some topics aren't for them. They wouldn't understand. Overall I give this book five stars and a bravo to the author, John Green!</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RN5P5J4HJD64O?ASIN=014242417X	Wonderful novel, with a great narrator	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I loved this novel by John Green. Especially, I loved Hazel Grace Lancaster, his 16-year-old narrator who is dying from cancer. That doesn't sound like a very upbeat premise for a novel, but Hazel's always funny view of the world makes it work beautifully. Hazel didn't expect to reach a ripe old age, but in the world of literature, she'll live forever.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3OMIG7YAN8VQ2?ASIN=014242417X	I luved it	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I chose five star because it is really sentimental. it's perfect for young adults who wanna read and LUV a love story. For age appropriateness I would recommend ages 14+. But they have to be really mature for there age. Read it, LUV it, comment it!!!  (Btw it's really emotional at some part so you'll need tissues) SORRY FOR THE SPOILER ALERT!!!! :) ;(</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1QCIMO9QVUPHY?ASIN=014242417X	Fantastic Novel	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars hits all the right notes. Despite being categorized as a YA book, it's for everyone.  I'm a 53 year-old man with cancer who can completely relate to the characters and their situation. As an author myself, I'm so jealous of what Green has achieved. The humor, pathos and love story work perfectly. Read it and you won't regret it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2ORZ5U19PT44I?ASIN=014242417X	It's perfection	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I honestly had heard a lot about the book from my best friend. I decided yesterday to start reading it and I fell in love. I honestly don't know how to explain this book. It's a perfectly unfortunate love story with so many plot twists. I don't think I'll ever look at the world the same. But that's the thing about books, they change the faults in you.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RI0Z0FTY7A6ZD?ASIN=014242417X	can't really verbalize it	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I've been critical of certain elements in John Green's other books, but The Fault in Our Stars exceeds all expectations. Here you will find the same humor and insight that John is known for, but the material is more raw, the characters more rich, the goals more ambitious, and the payoff much more satisfying. This book moved me on a foundational level.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2XDIDVABTZDY3?ASIN=014242417X	Fantastic	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I am not a common reader, but this book made me change my perspective in the reading life and real life. It's a true page turner and tear maker. No one should live life without reading this book. I would give more stars(infinite) but alas I'm only allowed 5...in the end read this book and re-read when you need a reminder of how life should be viewed.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2R4C9U3J61JFO?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing and	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Something I couldn't put down. As a high school history teacher I have used John Green 's crash course world/us history videos to differentiate my instruction, which has led my students to inform me of his literary works- well at least of this book.<br/><br/>I read it and I couldn't stop. Lovely. Heartbreaking. Honest. Read it, you won't regret it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3B5HOV7V8JR7H?ASIN=014242417X	A Book of Life	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is not a book about death, or dying. This is a book about life, and hope.<br/><br/>The two teenage main characters are forced to deal with the affliction of terminal cancer, yet still manage to allow themselves the joy of falling in love.<br/><br/>Truly a beautiful book, and one that made me genuinely cry tears of both happiness and sadness.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R27G70K559Z97?ASIN=014242417X	One of the best books I've ever read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Please read this. It's not that the world would be healed and all things made new if everyone just read it, it's that this book is so beautiful, really gem-like in the way it brings together the beauty and pain of being alive, that not reading it would mean missing out on something that makes our limited days on this planet more sweet and more vital.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3C0NYEX7X9NPR?ASIN=014242417X	Pulled me in.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I am slightly similar to many of the characters. The humor is what truly pulled me in, as that is my humor. I fell in love with Gus' characteristics, and sobbed for about an hour when he died. This book is one of the best I have read in quite some time. I truly thought I had more to say, until I actually started writing this. All around a great book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2Y4Z8LT3EBN2C?ASIN=014242417X	The fault in this book: NONE	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I honestly have never cried so much while reading, but I didn't mind it. This book was amazing; I real the book in a matter of two days, mainly due to Mr green 's characters who grew so close to my heart I do not want to let go. I know a sequel would never work, but I do know that I intend to read all of this author's other works as soon as possible.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3HPUQ5CS2AFWD?ASIN=014242417X	Bittersweet	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I thoroughly enjoyed this book because it was a true love story with a twist that not all couples endure. The fact that both teens had their own cancer and Augustus seemed stronger at the beginning made it that more shocking when he passed. I recommend this book to anyone and it's a good book for either males or females which is usually hard to find.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2DPBDNMNFQAAM?ASIN=014242417X	heartbreaking, hilarious, and so REAL	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I love that this book is so real. In a genre (ya lit) that is suffocated with surreal post-apocalyptic and zombie/vampire fiction it was a welcome read. The way that the main characters are so fond of literature themselves just lights up my heart as I read. This was the best book I've read in awhile. I laughed, I cried (sometimes at the same time!).</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2Y6DBRK1PUGVG?ASIN=014242417X	TFIOS	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was absolutely amazing. It kept my insterest so well and I never wanted to put it down. John Green has written yet another amazing book that countless people will enjoy. This books makes it easy for the reader to really get interested and sucked into the character's lives. This book will make you feel more emotions than you knew you could.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RQKPZ4F5UEMZG?ASIN=014242417X	Through the eyes of the protagonist, we fully feel her hope, love and loss.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The book has an exquisite arc of emotions for Hazel and I was pulled fully into the story.  You don't need to be a teen to enjoy this beautifully expressed account of Hazel's and her friends' struggles with cancer.  The story stayed with me long after I put it down.  I fully expect to see ""soon to be a major motion picture"" on future covers.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R39WCCSAAOW04A?ASIN=014242417X	Fantastic read!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I received this book for Christmas and was playing host for both of my book clubs in February.  I chose this book and had everyone in both groups read it.  People were calling and emailing me to thank me.  EVERYONE loved it!  It's a well-told story with characters who are witty, deep, and whom you care deeply for.  I recommend this book to everyone.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2LOG3MKUZTU76?ASIN=014242417X	Blown Away!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This was one of the most difficult, heart wrenching yet brilliantly told stories I've read in a very long time. I cried my way through a box of tissues while causing everyone sitting near me to question my sanity as I laughed out loud a few pages later. John Green's beautiful words are a true gift, and I will watch for more from this author eagerly.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R150W70HFTFKBL?ASIN=014242417X	Emotionally exhilarating	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">From all the hype, I thought I would fall in love with John Green through this novel like everyone else. It gripped me throughout and to be completely honest, have never gotten to the point of uncontrollable tears that begin to fall onto my book. If you're an overly sensitive type, this book may be 336 pages of torture, but it's definitely worth it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R245FERU3ID1UW?ASIN=014242417X	Excellent book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Really good book for any age. If there is anyone in your life with a chronic illness or an illness that is life-threatening, this book will help you understand the person better. It is also good that it describes teen relationships and the issues one may go through with a very serious health condition. This book focuses on relationships vs the ravishes of cancer.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2ZB4CZL526VOS?ASIN=014242417X	Cancer:  Not the Emperor of All Maladies	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">As someone living with terminal cancer, I approached The Fault of Our Stars with the hope of finding meaning in how the characters face their illness.  If the novel is a cautionary tale, revealing how the main character is self-absorbed and self-pitying, and how we can choose a different path, such as the path of Augustus and his search for meaning, then I am happy to give this book 5 stars.  I was saddened and frustrated to see Hazel's self-pity, her sarcasm, her derision toward characters like Patrick, who are trying to be hopeful, her point-blank cruelty to her parents.  In her own revelation that yes, we are all going to die, she takes liberties with others' feelings and cannot seem to get beyond ""cancer sucks.""  Does it?<br/><br/>Directly after my cancer diagnosis, a friend who is a gifted pediatrician gave me a quote:  ""It is only what we think it is.""  If this is true, then losing my hair is not a humiliation; it's a chance to see myself in a new light.  The skin rash associated with the chemotherapy is not a punishment; it's a badge of courage.  The tube I needed to drain fluid from my lung was not a burden, it was a friend, allowing me the chance to participate in my own treatment and envision the cancer cells flowing out.<br/><br/>Hazel's approach is very different, and cancer is not a chance for forming a deeper relationship with herself.  It's a chance to lash out, to feel sorry for herself, and to think others, like Patrick, who leads the cancer survivor group, are weak and lame.  Green seems to not want us to like Patrick; he seems to want us to accept Hazel's assessment and to join with her in viewing him as out-of-touch.  But I like Patrick.  He is trying to make positive meaning out of his own circumstances.  Isn't that the journey of the hero?<br/><br/>The book has other heroes:  Augustus and Hazel's parents.  Augustus is willing to be courageous, to face his cancer with the hope of making a difference for those he loves, and in this he succeeds.  His openness to using his cancer as a way of contemplating what comes next is also heroic.  Likewise, Hazel's parents have taken a courageous stand, showering their daughter with unconditional love and support, and also creating a new path for themselves in knowing that they will most likely lose Hazel.  How like Hazel to be surprised that her mother has been quietly forging her own path.  At least, to her credit, Hazel is happy and proud for her mother.  At least she is willing to acknowledge that others have feelings and hopes, and perhaps this small movement is her own heroic journey.  On the other hand, her treatment of Peter in their unlikely second meeting was abominable.  For most of the novel, she seems to enjoy casting herself in the role of the victim, and I can only read this as a message of a way of being to avoid, cancer or no cancer.<br/><br/>This brings me to my question for Green.  In the end of the books, he recommends Cancer:  The Emperor of All Maladies for a further understanding of this disease.  My question is, knowing his characters as he does, does he think Augustus would go along with the title of this book:  that cancer is the emperor of all maladies?  Or would Augustus transcend this fear-mongering and grandiosity about cancer, and agree instead that the real emperor of all maladies is not cancer.  The real emperor of all maladies is fear, ignorance, and lack of compassion.<br/><br/>My experience of Augustus is, he would not buy into the notion that cancer is the be-all to end-all license to be filled with self-absorption and self-pity.  Time and again, Augustus reveals a deeper understanding, not specifically of cancer but of life and the universe itself.  Even Hazel admits, this is person who would wonder, and enjoy wondering:  ""If I am playing basketball in heaven, does that imply a physical location of heaven containing physical basketballs?""  That question and all it embodies is much more profound than accepting that cancer is the emperor.  As someone who has lived with terminal cancer for four years, I think Augustus' way of being offers a meaningful perspective.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R32OBO6NTG2COY?ASIN=014242417X	Obvious and Boring	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I bought this book because my mother HIGHLY recommended that I read it. I never ever listen to her but I thought okay let me just take her advice for once. So I bought it and I read it. I have to say that story in this book is just oh so generic and real boring. The plot twist was predictable and I had to really struggle to finish the book. I almost didn't. There were some very painful moments in this book but they immediately fell on their face due to the flat characters. Mostly fluffy fluff fluff. A real tear jerker for those with low IQ's. Sorry Mom.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RAPSLZTIL2JY5?ASIN=014242417X	Good but not great...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read this book after having the whole thing literally paraphrased to me, in a very rapid almost frantic succession by my very deeply moved and apparently ""changed"" friend. He even cried a little while telling me about it. I having only heard of this piece once before, and then witnessing the emotional breakdown of my usually very put together male friend, decided that it sounded interesting, and that I would perhaps read this ""Oh so wonderful masterpiece by the regal and award winning John Green..."" But then, I decided against it as I had already been told the ending, and in all honesty, it sounded cliche. I can assure you now that my suspicions were correct.<br/><br/>I was lent this book weeks after this whole incident on a whim by my cousin, who also seemed ""deeply touched"" at the reading of this book. She confided in me the emotions she felt as she read it, so I thought ""Why the frick not... Give it to me, I'll give it a try.""<br/><br/>I can tell you now, that with all the hype and excitement and crying made over this book, and now its supposedly amazing (I have not taken the time to see it.) motion picture, this book is not as great as I was expecting.<br/><br/>It was relatively good, but in no way was it relatively great... The writing was nice at first, but as the dialogue continued, and the characters struggled, I slowly became numb... Teenagers, let alone most adults do not use philosophical pros and witty sarcastic banter to communicate. Though it did amuse me a lot if the time, when they did use teenager type language, I laughed out loud.<br/><br/>The main male character enjoyable, but was too perfect for me, his only flaw being upset about dying and not ""leaving a mark"" on his world, which to me is not a flaw, as anybody would feel that.<br/><br/>Hazel while supposed to be charming and intelligent, stayed flat the entire time. Her weeping father and the ever doting mother, the whimsical and too perfect interactions between every person... Everybody stayed mostly the same. Those characters that truly intrigued me such as Isaac were somehow skillfully avoided.<br/><br/>The conflict of this story seems to be more of the dilemma of still being a virgin by age 17, than actually making a deep connection with other human beings....<br/><br/>Besides that though, the description was good, and most of the literature while characters were not speaking was splendid. I also do appreciate the concept, it's interesting. The perspective on death is usually not discussed. It captivated me enough to read to the end, and the emotions portrayed in the circumstance of death were relatable. I just wish it could have been a little more realistic than an angelic boy swooping down to sweep a sick girl off her feet.<br/><br/>Over all I give it three stars.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RZA136SJ06E2O?ASIN=014242417X	A Great Book by One of My Favorite Personalities	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I knew of John (and Hank too) Green long before I knew he was an author from their videos on YouTube. So when I found out that he published books (and that one made it to a bestseller's list, to boot!), I knew I had to read it. I read it just in time to beat the movie coming out - and I'm so glad I did! I'm sure the movie is good since he himself gave it a thumbs up but I wonder how it could possibly compare to the novel???<br/><br/>I don't often read Young Adult novels, but this was a very special case and I think it was worth the purchase, whether or not you're a Green fan. It's funny, awkward, emotional, and real. I recommend it to everyone - young or old, connected or not to cancer, even if you don't plan on seeing the movie. It's a beautiful tragedy that makes you feel good just to read it. So thank you, John Green!</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I'm a fan of John Green (as a VlogBrother) but originally not as an author because I hadn't read his books. Then on Youtube he was telling everyone he was writing a new book (wasn't nearly finished, had no title, etc.) and through videos over those months he would talk about how the story was coming together and how he came up with a name ""TFiOS"" (as he would refer to it). Then he said anyone who pre-orders a copy, he will sign it — ever copy. (of which there were 1,000s to be signed it would turn out.<br/><br/>Then there were tons of videos where he was signing copies, trying to get them all done by the deadline. I ordered mine about 6 months prior to release. It came in the mail once it was released, I looked at the signature, put it on my shelf. Remember: I was a fan of John Green, himself, not as an author so I didn't have a crazy urge to read it.<br/><br/>Three or so months passed and I had nothing to do, saw this on my shelf and decided to pick it up and read it. I finished it a few days later and loved it. It's a YA novel and is written very well, with clever fast dialogue and is very funny at times - and heartfelt at others.<br/><br/>After reading it, I would be in Barnes &amp; Noble from time to time and see it on the 'NEW' shelf, and then the 'TOP 10' shelf, and then the 'BEST SELLERS' shelf as time went on. I would tweet at John Green, thinking it was cool his book was doing so well. And then a couple years pass and BOOM! this is literally all you hear about. A new movie is coming out this week for it (with really great reviews) it's suddenly in everyones hands on the subway, and magazines feature the movie stars from TFiOS on the cover.<br/><br/>It's actually pretty cool to see the entire creation of this book unfold over the years from a few pages being written, to blockbuster movie — happy I got to go on the journey, and I can't wait to see the film. Read the book (and subscribe to VlogBrothers on Youtube)</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RW5XI9YRSAAWN?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in Our Stars Book Club	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read John Green's The Fault in Our Stars in a 48-hour span.  Wowza!  Not only does Green capture the adolescent thought processes, but also characterizes the young cancer patient's philosophy and outlook on living and dying with cancer.<br/><br/>Hooked early on with the female protagonist's wit and outlook on life, I could not read enough from or about Hazel:<br/><br/>I hadn't been in proper school in three years.  My parents were my two best friends.  My third best friend was an author who did not know I existed.  I was a fairly shy person- not the hand-raising type.  (12)<br/><br/>'Pretty great,'  I agreed, although it wasn't, really.  It was kind of a boy movie.  I don't know why boys expect us to like boy movies.  We don't expect them to like girl movies.  (35)<br/><br/>Augustus asked if I wanted to go with him to Support Group, but I was really tired from my busy day of Having Cancer, so I passed.  (125)<br/><br/>Having been a cancer patient myself, I could relate to Hazel's commentary.  Furthermore, the intellectual banter which exists between Hazel and Augustus throughout is a delight to read as in their exploration of breakfast foods:<br/><br/>'Like why don't we have curry for breakfast?' . . .<br/><br/>'But why?' I asked.  'I mean, seriously:  How did scrambled eggs get stuck with breakfast exclusivity?  You can put bacon on a sandwich without anyone freaking out.  But the moment your sandwich has an egg, boom, it's a breakfast sandwich.'  (137)<br/><br/>Thus, for the purposes of an evening book club over The Fault in Our Stars, step outside your comfort zone and offer breakfast for dinner.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3ENDQZUGJQLGC?ASIN=014242417X	A Little Infinity	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars is the memorable and moving story about a group of teens in a cancer discussion group and their valiant goal to leave a mark in this earth.  Hazel's father tells her ""I believe the universe wants to be noticed. I believe the universe is improbably biased towards consciousness, that it rewards intelligence in part because the universe enjoys its elegance being observed."" Simply put, this is a book about the meaning and purpose of life, it is about the impact of our existence, our footprint in time. When Dick Clark of American Bandstand spoke about death, he said he wanted to live as long as he was relevant. This book is about the teens staring death in the face, knowing of it's impending arrival and the question of what was it all for. Both Hazel and Augustus suffer with some form of cancer, they have been robbed a joyous childhood, fun and games replaced by painful treatments and operations. Their lives revolve around the hard work of staying alive and the constant cheerleading from heart broken parents. They are bright and cynical, and understand each other. They fall in love and I don't want to say more, but the depth of their passion, the deep communion of their hearts made the characters come alive. This was a great book. I was not fond of the beginning,but Augustus tenacity won me over and the reader will fall in love with Gus's loyalty and companionship as deeply as Hazel. The ageless yearning of the characters made me forget that they were teens.<br/><br/>Hazel wishes for ""a little infinity"", the time to savor her budding love with Augustus, knowing instinctively it will end  too soon. The dehumanizing treatments strip the patients of their humanity, healthy people distancing from them, remembering only the person who existed before the treatments changed them. Together, Hazel and Augustus carve out a pocket of time to discover the sweet perfection of loving a person so much life seems meaningless with out them. Augustus complained, "" I always thought my obituary would be in all the newspapers, that I'd have a story worth telling. I always had this suspicion that I was special."" The Fault in Our Stars give a face to the victims of cancer. The story so insightful, the characters moving, yet without pity. This book reminds us that we are all here for a reason, no matter how much time we have, or what we accomplish, rich or poor, successful or not, that a rut in the road of life has been created with a lasting impression that will be there forever.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1KQLK3RGRMRL3?ASIN=014242417X	Beautiful	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is under the genre romance, but I wouldn't really call it a romance novel. When you read a romance novel you walk away with that 'ah, true love!' feeling. The relationship between the two main characters of the book helped moved forward the plot, but it was about so much more than that. I've been clinically depressed before, as hazel was, and I don't know if that influenced how powerful I found this book to be. On the surface, its a romance. But that's not what its really about. It's about how even though sadness and tragedy is inevitable we shouldn't let it hold us back from going out and living the life we want to live. One of my favorite books of all time, absolutely amazing.</span>"

Isn't it the acknowledgement of something true, something beautiful and real? I would argue that The Fault in Our Stars is abundantly reverent of reality, of fiction, of hopes and desires. I argue that it reverently memorializes the truth of illness with all its sarcastically viewed perks and disappointments. Maybe it's neither reverent nor irreverent. Maybe it's just there. Maybe the book's perceived meanings don't really mean anything to the universe; maybe this number one bestseller -- that made a crazy middle-aged man into everyone's favorite crazy middle-aged man -- is just another physical and intellectual filler of space. I, for one, reject that notion out of hand.<br/>Angela</span>"

That said, I thought that this book was poorly written, had little or no character development and read like it was written to be made into a movie (surprise!).  I thought that the conversations between the teenagers and their parents were so off base.

I was disappointed. I was expecting to be at a constant shifting between awe and crying when I began this.

The story reads fast and keeps moving. My problem was I felt midway through the story and characters became very predictable. The teenagers act with no mindset of any actual teenager.  Wise beyond their years?  I'm not sure. I don't think two 16-18 year olds are commonly so profound with just about everything they say.<br/>There are touching parts of the story where you see a relationship that exists based on a common connection most do not have, nor would they wish to have.<br/>To me this is an average easy read book, five stars are handed out left and right on Amazon. I would recommend this book and have no complaints on reading it, but my review reflects not just the readability and marketability.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2GB2SFJRBHB0S?ASIN=014242417X	Excellent read! Minor pickles	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Ok, this easily one of the better YA book I've ever read, and that probably makes me one of the 0.5% of readers in the world who likes Looking For Alaska more. Alright, probably more than that, but regardless, this novel is really good, regardless. Green has really developed his abilities, and he can tell some of the most original stories with terrific prose. His dialogue is endearing, his characters are beautiful. Augustus and Hazel are some of my favorite YA characters of all time, right up there with Green's other characters.<br/><br/>My only gripes were the quirks with the characters. The reason Green is a genius to me is how he ties me emotionally with his female protagonists especially. I fell in love with Alaska Young and Lindsey Wells, and yearned for girlfriends like them. Even though Alaska was self-destructive, and way too wild for my taste, the fact that they were fictional and portrayed so tenderly, molded into girls I respected due to their intelligence, make me crush on them. Well, I didn't feel that with Hazel. I liked her, but imagining her as a cancer patient, with all those tubes and tanks, made me not yearn for her in the same way. Of course, her cancer is necessary for the story, and it makes her a great character, but I didn't connect as deeply with her.<br/><br/>I still highly recommend this novel for readers of any age. You will, laugh and cry. You will yell and fall silent. And you will definitely read it again and again.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2BXD19C04C2YV?ASIN=014242417X	Overrated	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I don't know, maybe it's just me, but after reading all the glowing reviews, I had expected better.  I found the characters a  underdeveloped, the dialog a bit too glib, the whole thing a little forced.  I don't know any teenagers who talk or act like these characters, cancer or not.  It wasn't bad; it just didn't live up to the hype in my opinion.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2A4FQINEPQS27?ASIN=014242417X	It all started with a list on Facebook, much like so many things do.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Leave it to Facebook to give me something else to do. Between Facebook and Pinterest, I can find things to fill up my day related to reading, cooking, arts and crafts, cleaning. . .<br/><br/>The post that was shared and was probably viral for a few days was ""16 Books to Read Before They Hit Theaters this Year"" and of course (Of Course!!!) I clicked. I was relieved - because all of a sudden, due to the title, I felt pressured to accomplish this task - that I had read at least a few including:<br/><br/>  Dark Places and Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn (read before I started keeping track - they both would have been on the Debra's List of Books Worth Reading on Pinterest)<br/><br/>  Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand (that would have been on my Debra's List of Books NOT Worth Reading)<br/><br/>This is the first of the books that looked interesting to me from the list but there are more, I warn you. . . The Fault in our Stars is a current day love story with elements classics like Romeo and Juliet but with a lot more realism. There are the teenage lovers and the tragedy but with a lot more to offer. As a parent, reading about very sick children (okay, teenagers) was often hard as this could be anyone's son or daughter and it just doesn't seem fair. However, the story was so well written and moving that I just had to continue. The book has many levels and is really an intelligent thought provoking book.<br/><br/>Hazel Grace Lancaster, who narrates this story, is a survivor of Stage IV Cancer. She should have been dead a long time ago - her claim, not mine - but has been around an extra three years due to a miracle drug trial. She is alive but her quality of life is compromised. She is 16 and has to carry around oxygen as her lungs have survived a battle to survive. She is also clinically depressed and lives in a world that her peers can't really understand to relate to her.<br/><br/>At a support group for kids with cancer, she meets Augustus Waters, a fellow survivor that has a sunnier outlook on life. At first Hazel thinks his more positive perspective is because he has a good chance to survive, unlike her temporary holding pattern that she knows will eventually end, but eventually she comes to understand that he has chosen to live his life in a different way than she has.<br/><br/>Of course they fall in love and Hazel begins to see the good in the present day and how life can be cherished. Sounds sappy? It's really not and this book has a whole lot going on. Hazel shares with Augustus a book that she loves (An Imperial Affliction) that is a first person account of a little girl with cancer that ends abruptly and she's dying to know what happens to the girl and her family. Hazel identifies with the story and often imagines what her parents will do when she is gone. Augustus reaches out and arranges a journey for them to try and discover what happens and that is what makes this love story truly special.<br/><br/>I think that this book is supposed to be young adult fiction but I think it was a wonderful book and worth reading.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3EUHGBLVMIUC8?ASIN=014242417X	Beautifully tragic	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I LOVED THIS BOOK!!! John Green has created an amazingly thought provoking novel filled with characters you cannot help but connect with on a completely new level. Never has an author been able to inspire as high a level of heartbreak as Green has been able to when he wrote Hazel and Augustus's epic love story filled with amazing highs and tragically inspiring lows. The Fault in Our Stars is a truly beautiful book that Will have even the most stoic of readers a sobbing mess.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RLQ268YOAMWN1?ASIN=014242417X	It's not my genre of choice, but I liked it nonetheless	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I would say ""The Fault in Our Stars"" packs an emotional punch that is poignant, deep, sometimes funny, but still feels real. The humour was smart, sophisticated, and handled nicely -- it was enough to keep things from dragging too heavy. The emotions involved were difficult to convey in a way that didn't break the reader's resolve, but I felt it landed on the right side of ""powerful"" rather than the wrong side of ""depressing"".<br/><br/>I think Green did a good job with the subject matter, and the main characters of Hazel and Augustus had a chemistry that was fun. I felt it. The way they played off each other was cute. Maybe their attitude was a bit pretentious, but still undeniably fun. I didn't expect the sour but intellectual wit seen here, not from characters their age, and Green sure did use some pretty big words. I'm nearly 30 and I'm far from illiterate, but I found myself highlighting many words on my Kindle to look them up. That aside, these two characters were presented gracefully, and I appreciated their charisma throughout their time together.<br/><br/>I'd call it ""skillful"" the way Green approached this delicate subject matter without petering into highly depressing territory. That's a risk you take, and for some readers, it probably was too much for them to take. But I wouldn't say I'm an overly emotional reader, so at least in my eyes, I felt it was handled well. I still don't think I was absolutely mesmerized by it, but it was a strong book from cover to cover.<br/><br/>I won't apologize for not being blown away, because I'm not *required* to love it as much as others, and quite simply, it falls outside of the type of book I typically enjoy. I don't like sad or depressing. I don't like loss -- that's why I don't read non-fiction. I don't want to feel for real people. At least when I read lighthearted fiction, I know they are just characters and nothing more (which Green reminds us of) but even when there is no reality being relayed, still, I'd rather be entertained by a comedy or mystery than deal with tragedy or loss. But this book worked as well as I think it could have, for someone like me. That's a major compliment, even if it sounds like I'm unimpressed.<br/><br/>This is my second Green book in a row. This was better than Looking for Alaska. Hazel was just a better narrative lead than Miles, and the chemistry between your lead characters is better here.<br/><br/>I think based on what I said above, I'm not the type who will score this a 10/10 like some others. This type of book just isn't in my wheelhouse in order to achieve that sort of resonant impact. Was it more powerful than the type of book I typically read? Sure. But it's just not my genre, and so I don't approach it the same as others readers.<br/><br/>The Fault in Our Stars was good, quite good in fact. It evoked as much reaction as I might typically have for a book I expected to be sad -- for a book I expected to be about dying, death, love, and loss. I have a hard time ""feeling"" for these types of books, because I'm not surrounded by enough sadness that I have some sort of visceral reaction to the material. Which I guess is a good thing, not to have loss or sadness weigh me down. But I'll wrap up before I go on another tangent: as far as 'highly recommended' books go, it met expectations well enough to earn an 8/10.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1TZUMX0AY9F9W?ASIN=014242417X	It's alright	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I thought it would be better with all the high ratings. One of my big pet peeves was the unrealistic teenagers. I know a lot of teenagers and not one of them is that smart or witty. Not saying they aren't out there but to have two in the same story? I mean they sound like they are 40 year old literature teachers not 16 year old still growing their brain kids. Also as a Christian I was a little offended by the all the little comments that made it seem like the author/characters where saying that if you believe in God you are dumb. I get that people have different opinions and I respect that but to me it almost felt like this author is an atheist but still not 100% sure so he wants to convince everyone he is right by making it seem stupid and ""dumb"" to believe in anything else. I felt like she went on and on about how when you die you just end and that was more depressing to me than the fact the kids had cancer. Other than that it was an Okay book. One that is a pretty easy read but not so good that you can't put it down.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3ILJOX1KZ3DIP?ASIN=014242417X	Simply Amazing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I'm one of those girls that has read just about every teen/young adult novel out there, yet I have never been so moved by one single book before. John Green managed to right a book, not about cancer per say like so many people believe, but about the people who are affected by it. I connected immediately with both characters (Augustus and Hazel) because although they are suffering something extraordinary, they have love and life to deal with daily just like anyone else their age. I read this entire book in one night (11pm till 5am) only to be completely distraught and a crying mess afterward not necessarily because I was sad, but because I have never read a book where I have been so touched by the character's actions and words.<br/><br/>For those of you that believe this book is pretentious, I feel sorry for you. This book has more meaning, importance, and culture than you ever will.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RNEUIIHW2TTOH?ASIN=014242417X	A Shakespeare Title	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">“Okay?” “Okay.” Augustus just had to make sure Hazel was alright. The Fault in Our Stars is a fiction novel written by John Green (best-selling author who also wrote Looking for Alaska). Hazel Lancaster and Augustus Waters are the two main characters in the book. Both of them had been diagnosed with cancer were sent to a support group and that brought them together. They fell in love almost instantly; however, it just wasn’t as simple as that. Hazel introduced Augustus to a book called An Imperial Affliction in which they both had adored, which ends up being a key aspect of the story. An Imperial Affliction ended up bringing the two lovebirds to Amsterdam. Bottom line: this is a tragic love story.<br/> I have to agree with Jodi Picoult (author of My Sister’s Keeper)’s quote: “Electric… Filled with staccato bursts of humor and tragedy.”  Prior to reading this book, quite a few people said the book was wonderful except it was sad and I might cry. I would call this a perfect book for teens as it uses some vocabulary familiar with many teens. I enjoyed most of the humor within the story, such as, “I've gotten really hot since you went blind” said by Hazel after her friend Isaac (Green 130). If this book had not contained the humor that it does, it would be a very sad story, sadder than it already is. Reading this escalated to spending almost all of my free time with this book in my hands and it was even hard to put it down sometimes. It just kept getting better and better. Whenever Hazel and Augustus were together everything was “okay.”</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RB9VG1RLBGPBC?ASIN=014242417X	"An interesting take on cancer stories, but still ""meh""."	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Review: John Green has a reputation of writing the sort of books that are read by clingy, over-emotional females, and in fact I don't think I've ever heard his books being placed in a good, respectable context. Why is it so? I guess his books are shelved for hopeless romantics and can sometimes be paired with Nicholas Sparks' works (though it seems like a lot of people prefer John Green's writing over his).<br/>Either way, I think I found this book through someone's Instagram...and I believe the girl was one who didn't seem to read a lot, so when I spotted this in their photos I was intrigued. This was a popular teen read in 2012/2013, and I foolishly bought it because it seemed to be all the hype, without ever glancing at the backcover.  So when I sat down on the train to look it over, I slumped at the fact that it was actually about teenagers, cancer and love. The worst concoction of literary topics in a certain way, because you know that no matter what happens it will most likely be corny (if it involves teenagers), and most definitely depressing.<br/><br/>This will be the last John Green book I'll read. It wasn't terrible, but maybe that's because I expected the worst? Hehe. It's a very easy read, so that's good. The weakest part was probably the writing. I understand it's shelved under ""youth"" but I found it to be trying to hard in many ways. The two main characters are the typical cardboard cutout-type of quirky, brilliant yet slightly socially inept teenagers. Never in my life have I actually come across these sorts of characters outside of the pages of a ""youth"" book, and that's where I found the writing to be unconvincing. Hazel is also an odd and inappropriate 16 year old whose brain and heart tell her two entirely different things despite her being oh-so-mature (but not really), and she falls in love with the typical mysterious and dashing boy. I didn't like the characters separately, and found them even harder to swallow as a couple. Bleh.<br/>I will say this -- the plotline was entertaining and I give credit to the author for it. I mean, it's hard to spice up a book that you know will end up with cancer doing something in the end.<br/><br/>Some readers seem to have a love/hate relationship with this book because it's made them cry yet it's so beautiful (a concept I've never understood because if a book moves me strongly, I love it). Do not read it if you're looking for a proper book about characters that fight cancer rather than two star-crossed teenagers who fall in love while battling cancer. Those are two separate things. I'm not saying it's a bad read -- not at all. Is it engaging? Yes, I think so. Is it entertaining? Yes, I think so. Did it touch me? Yes. Would I give it to someone as an utterly life-changing book or Christmas present? Nope.<br/><br/>Wrap up: I can see why people would fall for this book. I can see why people would quote the characters all over Tumblr and wish for their own relationship with an Augustus. It's a quick read, and I don't think it should be taken seriously (though the element of cancer as a life threat most certainly should be). I didn't find it absurdly depressing but apparently a lot of people think differently (I guess it's because I've read a couple of youth novels with cancer as a major element). All in all...it was lovely within its limits. I would recommend it to readers who are looking for a quick and light read that would make them think in a swift and effortless fashion. I didn't fall for this book though, the characters were unconvincing and too try hard. I wouldn't actually give this book to a 16 or 17 year old (or any teen in general) but if they were to pick it up on their own I don't think it would be a big crime. A refreshing take on fighting cancer without ever believing that the term ""fighting"" is the appropriate word. Read if you like. Don't take it too seriously.</span>"

3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2W7L5R3NTL0T2?ASIN=014242417X	An Unexpected Life-Changer. Seriously.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was an unexpected––but very definite––life changer. I'm in my mid-twenties, and wouldn't have otherwise picked up this book, but I had an obligation to do so, and I'm very glad I heeded it.<br/><br/>Given that it's been almost two years since I read it, and its effects are still as vibrant today as they ever were - I can confidently attest that this book stands the test of time. Shortly after reading it, I wrote a little diary entry about my experience, which fairly-adequately conveys the emotions I experienced...<br/><br/>""It was late. It was a fairly warm evening for a January in Utah, dry, and still. The darkness outside was the kind you could almost smell. It was calm, silent, and the stars were so visible, it was almost as if the moon was calling for backup in order to light the city below.<br/><br/>I was on the couch nearest the front window in my living room, and I had been there for about 7 hours that day – getting up only to eat and go to the bathroom, and when I ate, I brought the food right back onto the couch so I could continue to read. It had been such a long time since I was able to get so engrossed in a book. Let alone a fictional book, primarily geared toward an adolescent audience.<br/><br/>And yet here I was, devouring page after page. I had a goal in mind, a bigger purpose for reading the book, otherwise I wouldn’t have spent all day reading it, let alone would I have justified breaking my 3-year-long “fast” from reading fiction. But as I read the last few chapters, the goal didn’t matter anymore. I was emotional. I was full of insights and perspective. And most of all, I was anxious to finish the book so I could go and speak with my wife.<br/><br/>As I teared up, reading the last few lines of the book, I got up and began to look for my wife. She had been playing the drums for the better half of the day, and working on a video that she would be publishing the following morning. But almost by magic, she walked into the front room just as I decided to go looking for her.<br/><br/>She saw the look in my eyes, and knew I needed her presence and full attention. I looked deeply into her eyes and gently placed my hand on her cheek. I could tell she was uncomfortable just enough at first, having been working on her video, it was a bit of an adjustment to pull herself completely into the moment. But it didn’t matter to me. Not then.<br/><br/>I poured my heart to her, as tears streamed down my face. “I love you, Mari. It is such a privilege that I get to love you. How lucky am I that I get that opportunity?”<br/><br/>As I expressed my heart’s intent openly, she began to open up. I’m intimately familiar with that look in her eyes, where her pupils begin to widen, her deep, dark brown retinas begin to blend with the shade of her pupils, and they glow. It’s a sweet feeling, swimming in a little sea of infinity. As the author John Green put it, ""some infinities are bigger than others."" And this moment was our little infinity, stretching out beyond space and time, a connection that could not be penetrated by fear or shadows, or distracted by noise and excitement. This was love, and it was melting us in the moment. It felt like our ceremony on our wedding day, but so much more simple. This was raw authenticity, immersed in the honor and privilege of having the opportunity to love one another.""<br/><br/>I can't give all of the credit to the book, because I proactively created such a deep, integrated experience facilitated by the emotion the book inspired. But the feeling has never faded. Every day, I am thankful for the privilege of getting to love my wife. Whether she’s being a complete joy to be around, as we explore and experiment and create great things together and converse late into the night, or if she’s frustrating me, doubting herself and questioning her worth, letting her anger for the hurt in the world get the best of her – I just feel damn lucky and privileged to get to love her.<br/><br/>I highly recommend you get this book, immerse yourself in it, and make manifest whatever emotions it may ignite within you.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3LNKQ480H272Z?ASIN=014242417X	Fantastic read!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">It was recommended that I read The Fault in Our Stars by one of my co-workers, and it was so wonderful that I read it all in one night! I was initially off-put by the idea of reading a book in which the main character was a teen with cancer, but the book drew me in with the protagonist's (Hazel) witty character and unique voice. As Hazel's relationship grew with others in the book (particularly with cancer-ridden teen, Augustus), I was curious to see how this love story would play out. A plot twist left me dumb-founded and in tears. The story was beautifully written, and the ending was tragic and intense. If you plan on reading this book (and you should!), make sure you keep a box of Kleenex near you.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3BQGMDBJBE9X9?ASIN=014242417X	Place Your Heart in a Ringer	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Life is not fair; it never has been.  It never will be.  But life is what you make of it.  It is what you do with it.<br/><br/>The Fault in Our Stars is about Hazel who has cancer.  She will never be cured; her life will just be prolonged.  Her life changes when she meets Gus, a cancer survivor.  Gus is full of life and reenergizes Hazel.<br/><br/>Hazel's favorite book is An Imperial Affliction, and Gus comes to love it too.  The book's only flaw is it ends in mid-sentences.  Who would end a book like that?  Together Gus and Hazel seek out the author to discover the real ending.<br/><br/>What I loved:<br/>* John Green does not sugar coat long-term suffering.  His details are sometimes too overwhelming.<br/>* Long-term suffering and friends.  Green pegged people's reactions to illness.  Most people disappear; most people cannot handle being the friend of a ""sick person.""  Those that matter stick with you to the end.<br/>* The caregiver.  When people think about terminal very rarely do they think of the caregiver.  Is their whole life taking care of the ill, or is it something more?  Will they have a life after the ill is better/gone?<br/>* Gus.  He is a hilarious character full of life.  I can picture him driving in an abrupt stop-and-go manner with his prosthetic leg.<br/>* Van Houten.  He was a sad pathetic man.  Green does not sugar coat his pathetic state.  In fact I wavered between anger and pity.<br/>* Hazel.  I loved that she found life and the inner strength to go on.<br/>* John Green's accurate portrayal of characters.  I laughed.  I cried.  I lived through them.<br/>* Hope/support.  Though I long to be independent, I know that we cannot live life alone; we need each to survive.  I was happy that Hazel and Gus found each other to lean on.<br/><br/>What I questioned:<br/>* Eternal hope.  Though I depend on other people to help me through tough times, no one can replace my God.  The comfort and trust I have in Him is nothing to compared to human comfort.  ""38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,[k] neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord"" (Romans 8: 38-39).</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1RJYKSIU3LO5D?ASIN=014242417X	Not as great as I was hoping.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The dialogue is quite tedious. Everything is a metaphor and everything right down to the eggs you eat for breakfast has a deep and profound meaning. While I appreciate the effort, it just got to be too much for me. I felt like the characters were always trying to show off all the big and fancy words they know.<br/><br/>My favorite character throughout the whole thing was Isaac, because he was the most... well, normal. He didn't talk in millions of metaphors or say things like ""breakfast exclusivity"" or ""existentially fraught free throws."" He was honest and raw and if every character had been more like him, I would have love love loved this book.<br/>Now, don't get me wrong, I'm all for having an expansive vocabulary, however it gets old after a while of looking up the definition of word after word, and you quickly get tired of two sixteen-year-olds talking like the Queen of England.<br/><br/>I do see, however, how this story got to be so popular. It's because of Tumblr. There is a very large part of Tumblr, which I try to avoid, that's filled with deep, meaningful, emotional quotes from poetry, books, and songs. This book fits right into that category; it's a hipster's wonderland. Think of all the glorious quotes you could take from this book! Just take a piece of paper and write down ""Why are you staring at me?"" ""Because you're beautiful,"" and then upload it to Tumblr.com and you've got an instant 30,000 notes.<br/><br/>Okay, so, in all honesty, I don't hate this book as much as it may seem. I actually really loved it the first time I read it, and I will probably always like this book on some level, simply because of how much I loved it the first time, but it is not something I will read again.<br/><br/>Read this book if you can manage to borrow it from a friend or something, but I wouldn't recommend purchasing your own copy to read for the first time in case you don't like it.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2N4XWJG4FT8AN?ASIN=014242417X	I Fell in Love	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I was skeptical when I first picked up The Fault in Our Stars.  The plot seemed a little cheesy to me--a dying girl trying to find a crazy author she likes.  I bought it because it was on so many ""Top Books for Teens"" lists.  I thought maybe it would be good for my tenth grade students, but surely I wouldn't like it.<br/><br/>BUT... Before I knew it, I had fallen in love with Green's characters and was completely lost in the story.  I think John Green could write about anything and make it enamoring.  I have since read every one of his books and can't wait for him to write a new one.<br/><br/>And in case you didn't know, a film version of The Fault in Our Stars is currently in the works.  So now's the time to read it!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2IV3FR44J7JC7?ASIN=014242417X	Beautifully Written with Pretentious Teens	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I spent an entire year mentally preparing myself for The Fault in Our Stars. I read some terrible books, awesome books and your classic ""meh"" books. And whenever I'd go to decide which book I wanted to read next, I'd glance at The Fault in Our Stars' spine and simply turn my head away. To be completely honest, I don't think I have ever truly went out of my way to avoid a book like this and it's unlike me to do so. I usually tackle things head on, showing no fear, but with this book I had to approach things differently due to its subject matter. But then Jenn from The Bawdy Book Blog threw this in as a review suggestion, because obviously I needed some John Green edumacation. And I'm so happy someone finally pushed me to read this book because it did not disappoint. Well, not exactly...<br/><br/>It's easy to see why John Green has the following he does. There is just something magical in the way he strings his sentences together that I can't help but admire it. It's simple, deep and humorous all at the same time. And the biggest thing I worried about when diving into this book was the sadness. You go into the book knowing the characters are terminal and I didn't know how I would fare connecting with a character, loving a character, to ultimately have them suffer and die. I'm a really easy crier and I don't like seeing people (fictional or real) suffer. But somehow John Green manages to take a cancer book and fill it with the sweetest memories.<br/><br/>For a good portion of The Fault in Our Stars, I found myself chuckling at Hazel and Augustus' dry humor. The first half was generally light-hearted despite the grim situation the characters were in. Even when things got more serious, the humor was subtly there as a convenient ice-breaker of sorts. If I could describe it, I'd liken it to a grandparent making a joke about their impending death. It's awkward and uncomfortable, but oddly reassuring that it's possible to joke about something so morbid. Life goes on.<br/><br/>The plot was simply ""ok"" for me, never wowing me or keeping me on the edge of my seat. It, at times, seemed to just float by with occasional things happening. There weren't many plot twists or ""ah ha!"" moments because you could tell from the beginning how it would end. You knew from the subject matter that it would be sad, and yet... I did not really cry. I did shed The Lonely Tear, but it wasn't for the characters. It was because of the situation they were in. It was because cancer sucks. Don't get me wrong, this is a beautifully written book, but the problem I ran into was the questionable authenticity of the protagonists. They never felt like teenagers. I get that they were intelligent and spent a lot more time contemplating life than your average teen, but they never felt real to me. Now, I'm not exactly a stranger to John Green himself. I religiously watch his history webshow on Youtube and I'm often amazed at this guy. But it was like he sat down and created mini-Despicable-Me-minon-like John Greens for this novel. They are all witty, super intelligent and too pretentious for their own good.<br/><br/>Further, it was almost like Green relied on the severity of the ending and the character's intelligence to jar emotion from the reader. Clearly, this worked since two weeks after finishing, I cried while making pancakes just from thinking about Augustus' letter to Hazel. But again, this was not for the characters. It wasn't remotely similar or as powerful of an emotion that I'd felt after I read A Walk to Remember where I cried in my 8th grade English class under my desk. I'm talking about complete and utter sorrow for Landon and everyone else. DON'T JUDGE ME. :P<br/><br/>Anyway, while I remain conflicted on how I feel about the characters, it doesn't negate the fact that this is a fabulous, smart read that I'd recommend to others.<br/><br/>Reviews and more at Cuddlebuggery Book Blog!</span>"

The thing about this book is its sort of like an emotional blackmail. I knew i would cry when i read the book. Sadly, being mentally prepared didn't help at all. I've cried while reading books before, a few tears here and there. But this is the first time that I actually bawled my eyes out. It's also the first time I've my heart broken by a book.  Approaching the end of the book, I was just so sad that i couldn't cried anymore.<br/><br/>Even the characters are just fiction, they just felt so real that you can't help but feel for them.

I have heard so much about it that I went into with a sort of preconceived notion as to what I was going to be given. I was almost completely wrong. I now understand why so many reviews seem to skim over what exactly is in it...and I feel like I should do the same. It's a book that you need to experience on your own to full appreciate and I don't want to rob anyone of that experience.<br/><br/>The Fault In Our Stars is a book that deals with cancer, but Green has written it in such a way that you don't really feel that gloom and depression the way you would with a ""normal"" (what Hazel would call) 'cancer book'.  It's a book filled with hope, humor, snark, and sadness; and I don't see everyone who reads this reacting the same way. I've read very few books that have managed to make me laugh and then crush my heart with expert precision, but this is definitely one of them.<br/><br/>When I first picked this up I wasn't sure if I was going to like it, the style and voice is rather distinctive and it definitely  didn't fit into the shape I had made in my head. Hazel has a very unique voice and personality, and it took some getting use to but once the story got moving I was hooked. The flow of the story is quick and I loved the realness of the conversations which are not perfect in form or generic. The conversations have character and you really can see their personalities hinging through in their wit and charm. The characters are really well developed and surprisingly I loved them all, and even though the cards are stacked against them I found myself rooting for them from the very beginning. If I had to choose one thing that I loved the most from this book, as impossible as that feels, I would go with the fact that it is not a book centered around death but instead it's centered around life. There is something really raw about the hope and love in this book and it just settled into my heart.<br/><br/>The relationship between Hazel and Augustus is hard to explain. It's not a whirlwind romance and it's not some flat thing produced on a whim, it just feels real. There is a sort of unique bond that forms between them, and some of their conversations are my favorite parts.<br/><br/>The Fault In Our Stars is not an easy book review and it's certainly not one I could accurately describe to someone quickly. I had so much trouble trying to find the right words while at the same time leaving out spoilers, and I still don't think I managed to quite capture it. It's my first John Green book but it certainly won't be my last</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I am a self professed bookworm, but I am also a self professed non-crying bookworm. As in the only time I've ever cried during a book was at the end of Harry Potter 7 (and that was mostly to grieve for the end of my childhood).<br/><br/>But this. THIS. The Fault in Our Stars by John Green. It's raw and beautiful and funny and profound and it has immediatelyshotuptooneofmytopbooksofalltime. OFALLTIME. I haven't read a good book in ages. And I mean ages, because in college I didn't have a lot of free time for leisure reading. And I mean good, because when I did have spare time, there was a lot of mediocre text my eyes unnecessarily wasted energy on.<br/><br/>I'm obviously still riding the emotional rollercoaster (read: rambling), but I highly recommend this book. And I'm so serious about the laughter, because this author has got the snarky humor I love. And I'm also serious about the tears, because this book is about a terminally ill girl who unexpectedly falls in love. (What? It's a love story? YES SHUT UP, READ IT.)<br/><br/>After I finished the book I continued to bawl my eyes out and obviously at that moment my sister barges in asking for a ruler and instead sees me pathetically crying on my bed. So through hiccupy sobs I give her my ruler and wave her away with some embarrassment. Yeah, whatever.<br/><br/>Do I have to reiterate? Please read it, guys.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RHZCIZ63D73N5?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault In Our Stars deserves infinite stars!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I am at a complete loss of words in regards to this review. This is one of those books that I picked up because all of my friends thought I was completely insane for not reading it. In truth, I didn't want to read it because I knew that I would bawl and I was completely unprepared to bawl. I'm the avid reader out of all of my friends and all of the non-readers read it so my nerdy reader friends ganged up on me and threatened to burn my books if I didn't read it. Naturally, I relented because my books are my babies and burning them would be like ripping out my soul. Not really, but you get what I mean. Am I beyond happy that I read this book? Definitely, and I plan on checking out numerous other stories by Mr. Green, but am I so worried about writing a cohesive review that I'm babbling and trying to distract you from the fact that I'm still tearing up thinking about this amazing literature masterpiece? A thousand times yes. So, forgive me if this review does not reach my normal standards. It's hard to review a book that leaves you speechless because there truly are no words to describe the feelings and emotions that it instilled in you.<br/><br/>To begin, John Green has perfected the art of unique characterization and connectivity. I had no problem connecting with Augustus or Hazel which, I believe, is why this was probably one of the most rickety emotional roller coaster rides I've been on in a while. Hazel has this really caustic, dry sense of humor that I tend to greatly enjoy in characters. However, hers was made all the more interesting because it was exhibited in such a unique and dire situation. She made an otherwise serious and overwhelmingly emotional tale full of surprising laughter and occasional smiles. At least, that was the first two thirds of the book because the last third was a killer. However, I'll get into that later.<br/><br/>Augustus Waters deserves his own praise. My favorite aspect of young adult leading men is flaws. I love the flawed ones because they're real, they're not these perfect men that are unattainable in reality. They're doubly perfect because of their flaws. Somewhere in the world, such a person could exist and walk among us. It's characters like this that make reading worth while and, in my opinion, Augustus Waters is one of these characters. Once a star basketball player, he had to get a limb amputated from his cancer. In remission, he lived a life of metaphors with a big heart under his overly-confident exterior. Despite his ability to be highly romantic, the boy in him shines through his love of zombie video games and novels, but this also gives way to his obsession with helping others and going out as a savior instead of a victim. I have unlimited respect for this boy who always puts others before himself. The boy who puts a cigarette between his lips signifying the ability to kill, but refusing to light it to show that he has the heart to beat it. This boy is perfect because of his complexity, uniqueness, faults, and drive. It's funny to think that when I first met him in the story I couldn't pinpoint if he was an arrogant character who was all too aware of his good-looks or if he was putting up a front. It was neither, he's a boy with unbelievable depth who just so happens to be aware of the fact that he is gorgeous (both inside and out). I would read the book just for him. This guy is full of so much love and the romance in this one is real. It's not a silly little teenage love story--this is one that deserves to have a place in the real world. This is one of the first love interests in a while who, to me, seems human.<br/><br/>The perfect romance aside, this book has a very serious undercurrent because it is a cancer story. I know a lot of people claim it isn't, my friends did, but this truly is one. It's just different than the usual cancer story because John Green was brutally honest. We get the whole shebang--the worry about the family once their gone, the journey to death, accepting ones fate, low points where the pain is so immense that they want to die, and the acknowledgement of ""cancer perks."" These perks aren't just having your one Wish granted from the Genie Foundation, but being given a license after failing your driving test three times with your prosthetic leg because you got your right food amputated and can't do anything with your left. This perk is the free trip to Disney or boarding the plane first. The things that people do for the sick people. This book is real, and that's what makes it all the more heartbreaking. Green's amazing writing skill easily allows us to be caught up in Augustus and Hazel's relationship, their easy banter and worry in the first 2/3 of the book that when things get real, you almost forget that you're reading a cancer story. ALMOST being the key word. It quickly becomes abundantly clear that the story you predicted from page one has been lurking beneath the surface and it will all eventually come to light through a flood of tears, a barrage of tissues, and an infinite number of pleas for change alongside several of the characters. It's hard to make me cry, and this book has me tearing up just thinking about it two hours after completion.<br/><br/>With that in thought, I want to caution that if you have a family member with cancer, I wouldn't recommend this story. It's heartbreaking to those of us who are fortunate enough not to go through such struggles ourselves, it'll be so much more intense for you.<br/><br/>This is not the story for those looking for a happy-go-lucky story. At times it may seem that way, but it is so much more. The tears and torment are so worth it because the tale is so perfectly weaved. I know many feel cheated by the ending because the beginning of the book was so happy, especially for a cancer story, but again, this is a cancer story. If this was a happy story it would be known as a story of survival instead of a cancer story. Thinking that a cancer story is entirely happy is like going into Shakespeare's famous tragedy Hamlet hoping that Hamlet survives. If it's a tragedy and the character's name is the title, he is clearly going to die, just as a cancer story is clearly not going to be the happiest tale alive though it could be used as a vehicle to deliver uplifting stories of survival, love, trust, and perseverance. I truly think that John Green managed that in this one.<br/><br/>Between the drunk yet well written and respected Peter Van Houten, Augustus Waters, Hazel, the newly blind Isaac, the ball-less Peter and all parents in this novel you will discover a cast that is easy to remember for their diversity, message, and perfect characterization. Green has easily proven himself as a literary genius and I eagerly await his other novels. It's not easy to make me cry, and as twisted as it is, I look forward to the novels that such an author can produce because the ability to make readers feel such strong emotions is something to be respected, envied, and praised in the YA writing industry. Green's characters may fear oblivion on Earth, but such a thing is nothing he will ever experience after producing a story like this.<br/><br/>THE FAULT IN OUR STARS deserves infinite stars.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1GIM1XETICFNP?ASIN=014242417X	A Once in a Lifetime Book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Seldom does one read a novel that is exactly where one is in life, but that's how THE FAULT IN OUR STARS hit me. I loved the narrator Hazel and her acceptance of where she was headed, her own death from thyroid cancer, but especially I loved the witty and lively Augustus. (John Green is having fun with us here since the title is taken from Julius Caesar and the line twisted to fit our main characters, all teen cancer survivors.)<br/><br/>The Mid American setting never feels real to me, but once Gus and Hazel get their bucket wish and go to the Netherlands, the setting, characters, and story come together and dazzle the reader. I love the moment when they tour the Annex where Anne Frank hid until she and her family were arrested by the Nazis. Like Hazel and Augustus, Anne's fault was in her stars.<br/><br/>Are Hazel, Augustus, and others from the group average teens? No. They're teens who have survived their first round with cancer and are living under few allusions about what happens next. They're sarcastic, witty, and well-read, or at least Hazel is. Green's adults all meld into one except Hazel's mom, who has ridden the roller coaster of her daughter's disease, so much suffering. When Mom asks Hazel the Question in ICU, ""Are you ready?"" The reader is one of the family and right there among them.<br/><br/>To those who find fault with this book, I say the fault is in yourself and not in your stars. Thank you John Green for writing this.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RQTPJ3VD061ID?ASIN=014242417X	one of my favorite books.  ever.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I initially bought this for my teenaged niece, as I had heard so many people raving about it.  I ended up reading it before wrapping it up (yes, I suppose that means she received a used gift...).  I actually just thought I'd skim a few pages, but ended up reading the whole thing in one sitting.  I loved Hazel and Gus and Isaac. They were cool and witty and clever in a way we all like to think we were at that age (but weren't).<br/><br/>I won't rehash any plot points, as I'm sure countless others have done so.  I will say that I couldn't put this book down. The writing was engaging and the characters seemed authentic (if a little too cool to be teenagers, but that's what made me want to keep reading). I wanted to be friends with them!<br/><br/>The writing style was very engaging for me.  John Green does a wonderful job writing about hope, loss, love.  This book made me smile, made me cry.  I was sad when it was over, and thought about the characters for a long while after I turned the last page.  That doesn't happen very often.  But perhaps the best recommendation for this book is the text I got from my niece at 2am Christmas morning.  It was a picture of the cover and it said, ""I'm obsessed with this book!""</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RK9F9VNPAXALU?ASIN=014242417X	A breathtaking and beautiful story!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The C word.  Not the profane word, the other one.  The one that can affect your life forever whether you have it or someone close to you does.  Cancer is the main subject matter in The Fault In Our Stars.  I say subject matter, and not that it is what the book is about.  This book is about so much more than cancer.  In fact, I think it's an insult to this book for it be called ""the cancer book"".  I've been a fan of the musical RENT since I was 10 years old.  It has always been labeled as ""the AIDS play"" even though just like this book, it's so much more than that.  The Fault In Our Stars tells the beautiful story of Hazel Grace Lancaster and Augustus Waters.<br/><br/>The Fault In Our Stars has been on my radar for quite some time now.  I had noticed that majority of my friends on Goodreads who had read this book had given it 5 stars.  That is a rarity.  So I knew I just had to read this book.  And I just absolutely loved it from the very first chapter.  It's one of those books where you have the urge to skip to the last chapter because you want to know how it ends.  But you resist because you just can't spoil it for yourself.<br/><br/>Hazel is the main character in this novel.  She is a sixteen year old living with cancer.  After her mother notices that she's not really living her life, she sends her to a cancer support group.  There she meets Augustus (Gus) a teeanger who is remission.  Now I had been told that this book was a real tear jerker, and to make sure I had tissues on hand.  And yes, it definitely is a tear jerker, but I wasn't expecting it to be so funny.  Both Hazel and Gus are extremely funny.  I laughed out loud numerous times while read this book.  The conversations between these two were just so amusing from the moment they met.  It didn't take much for me to fall for this couple.<br/><br/>As your reading this book, you are just rooting for Hazel and Gus.  You want a happily ever after.  There was one particular moment while reading where I just wanted to take a bottle and somehow capture their feelings for each other.  That's how strongly I felt their love for one another.  I wish that every person in life could have a moment like that just once.<br/><br/>I had butterflies the entire time I was reading.  There were so many theories running through my head as well.  As I said before I had been told the book was a tear jerker.  And I do not like crying because of a book.  Because it's just gut wrenching for me.  It's one of the reasons why I avoid Nicholas Sparks books.  But it'always those books that you remember.  It means that the author did their job for you have such a powerful emotion, and response to their characters.  John Green definitely did his job, and he did it correctly.  This book is just so beautifully written.  And in case you wondering I did indeed cry...a lot.<br/><br/>Reviewed by Sana @ Step Into Fiction</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2KY5TKNES7NTB?ASIN=014242417X	Didn't Love it as Much as I Want To	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I so, so, SO wanted to love this book.<br/><br/>First, I heard about it EVERYwhere.  It had a lot of hype behind it which should have been my first hint that maybe I had higher expectations than I should have.<br/><br/>Second, the whole teenager with cancer is a long time love of mine in books since I grew up reading Lurlene McDaniel books.<br/><br/>And lastly, the cover of the book is gorgeous.  Not to judge a book by it's cover, but this is a very pretty book sitting on my bookshelf.<br/><br/>All that said, I didn't love the book.  I'd say I liked it.  I liked it enough to finish it.  Or maybe I was just curious or hopeful that the story would get better?  Either way, it never really did for me.<br/><br/>My biggest issue was that I had the hardest time believing the story line.  The author never made me feel like I really believed what was happening or that these characters existed.  Maybe there was a point to that?  Maybe if I over analyzed the book I could see more to it than that.  But really, when it came down to it, I just didn't buy it.  At all.  And I wanted to.<br/><br/>I did like the book.  I did enjoy parts of it.  Which is why I gave it three stars.  I think had the author just toned down the whatever it was that made those characters seem so fake to me, then I would have loved the book.  Unfortunately, there was just something missing for me.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/REYCWA21YQTTW?ASIN=014242417X	There is love, then there is LOVE	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">There is love, then there is LOVE. What appeared to me as LOVE when I was a teenager was a complete sacrifice of everything I had to the one I loved. This is something that I didn't find in this book, and it made me sad, because it is absolutely beautifully written, but that pain that pierced me when I was 16? I didn't feel it. Two teenagers who have cancer fall in love, and I kept waiting for it to turn into LOVE, but it didn't. For me. So don't listen to me and read it for yourself, it seems to be a very popular book right now. As for me... if you're curious to read why I gave it only 3 stars, proceed with caution.<br/><br/>Hazel, a 16 year old teenager, meets Augustus, another teenager, at a cancer support group meeting, and what ensues is a remarkably well written sharp exchange of smart adolescent pun, sarcasm, attempts at understanding the infinity, the universe, and how it all can possibly fit into the picture of life. Life of someone who has cancer. It can't. It won't. But they still live it and manage to make the best of it, through friendship, through reading each other's books, playing computer games and the like, the typical teenage stuff. That is, they try to make it typical, because it simply can't be. Not when you have cancer. And here is where I have nothing else to say, because as much as I tried, I couldn't relate to the characters beyond a simple observation. I didn't cry over it like I cried over THE PERKS OF BEING A WALLFLOWER. I didn't believe it. The parents were all supportive, too good to be true. Everyone, in fact, was so very supportive, that it had a bit of an aftertaste of... ""I don't know, I'm trying to , but I'm not buying it.""<br/><br/>There. Still. Read it. I bet you'll like it. But it was definitely not my book. I'd rather stick my nose back into CARRIE.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RZBGY8QI2CB6N?ASIN=014242417X	Touching, funny not-just-YA novel	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I'm a grown parent of a preteen and I've never heard of John Green. In fact, I didn't even glance at the author's name on the cover, and when I got done, I was shocked to read the author's bio and find out he was a man. That is how well I feel Green captured the voice inside a teenage girl's head. I'm also not ashamed to admit I, like the narrator, instantly had a massive crush on Gus, the male half of the teen couple who meet in a cancer support group. While you do have to suspend disbelief a bit to buy that there are not two, but three (including Gus's best friend) kids with the same dry wit and intelligence in the same group who all find each other, it was worth it. I read this book in one night, not putting it down (except to reach for the Kleenex so I could wipe off the tears and snot so I could see to keep reading). This book is funny, sad, takes unexpected turns, and all of the characters are well drawn, including the parents. I also appreciated that it didn't get heavy into sex (SPOILER: the two do have sex, but it is implied, not described). I put off reading this book out of fear it would be too painfully sad, but I'm so glad I did read it. I would recommend this for age 14 and up or maybe mature 13 year olds.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2IYJBRJDH3JGT?ASIN=014242417X	John Green's second best work.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I've read this book 3 times now. Twice via ebook and now once via my very own physical copy of the collector's edition. A little part of me had hoped for a personal John Green signature but the little surprise under the cover is good enough for me.<br/><br/>I've seen reviews that claim Hazel and Augustus aren't believable as teenagers and all that jazz, and if it weren't for the fact that they're kids with terminal illnesses, one of them being very into literature, I might agree. Terminal illnesses make you grow up a little faster. Besides in very young children, this is almost always the case. And from personal experience with teenagers (my best friend happens to have just turned 18 in February), they are, without a doubt, believable characters. Even the way they text each other is so incredibly familiar to me. Augustus texts Hazel multiple times in a row, sometimes in all caps without punctuation, and it's exactly like I text others when my emotions are running rampant.<br/><br/>I've read this book 3 times and I've cried every time. I've also laughed every time. It doesn't lose its humor after the first read and it definitely doesn't lose its knack for evoking tears from my eyeballs.<br/><br/>I want this book to be read by everybody and I want everybody to love it. It's truly an easy read. It's not filled with ambiguous metaphors that are impossible to decipher. It's just so real and so light and so incredibly emotional on all parts of the spectrum and it is truly a great book.<br/><br/>I call it John Green's second best work because I can't possibly get over my love for his book Paper Towns. But in actuality, TFIOS probably ties for first. It's just really hard to make that decision so I just choose not to.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2XANQHV878N25?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing book. Engrossing and moving.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I loved this book and I'm recommending it to everyone! Hazel meets Augustus at a cancer support group - as two teenagers they don't expect to have much life and as the roll call is read, they see their future in early death. With such a premise, this could be a depressing book, but it's more about a triumph of love and living despite the threat of death hanging over our heads. There are some wonderful discussions on the meaning of disease and dying and through Hazel's eyes we get to understand a little of their experience. This book is needed and although Green is a ""YA"" author, I think all ages would benefit from reading it. Beautiful, harrowing, special. Thanks John.</span>"

4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R6Z95K6T2Z0KD?ASIN=014242417X	Not horrible, but predictable	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I bought this book to pass the time on a recent trip.  While traveling, I typically buy books for my Kindle that both I and my 20-year-old daughter will like.  This one seemed to fit the bill:  Teen love and teen angst for her and relatively positive reviews for me.  It was not a terrible book, although both my daughter and I decided we could easily have just read the first and last pages.  It was completely predictable.  The unrealistic banter between the 2 teenage protagonists felt sort of contrived, but that seems to be the fashion in teen literature these days, so I was hip with it.</span>"

You are introduced to people who I honestly believe will forever been in your heart and mind. They feel more real than any others you may read about.

3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RLVXITVWQTJIH?ASIN=014242417X	I'm a grenade and at some point I'm going to blow up and I would like to minimize the casualties, okay?	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Where do I even begin with this book? I was really excited, but at the same time a bit nervous, to begin reading this book. I was not prepared for an emotional roller coaster such as this one. Young love determined to blossom despite the nasty disease that should stop it.<br/><br/>Spoilers Ahead!!<br/><br/>Let's start with Isaac because I honestly loved his character despite how ""minor"" he was. His whole being was determined to find true love despite the cards he was dealt in life; one could say he was blinded by the desire to have it (no pun intended). For a second he even thought he had until it was ripped from him like his remaining eye. He was more devastated over the loss of a girl more so than his own eye which allowed him to see the beauty of the world, but then again, his world was collapsing like any other teenage boy's by losing who they thought was the love of their life so at that point, he was a normal boy without cancer.<br/><br/>Let's move on to Hazel. At first, I didn't care much for her. I really have no reason why I didn't like her other than my own fear of bonding to this character and expecting her to die in the end and rip me to shreds like any other time a character dies that I like. By the middle though, I couldn't help but love and sympathize for Hazel. I really got upset over Peter's treatment towards her even though he had lost a daughter that she reminded him of so much, it still didn't excuse his behavior. Hazel was very mature for her age and I hate that the cancer did that to her because it also made her apathetic towards life and I really wanted her to be happy especially after meeting Augustus but what did I expect reading a book about teenagers with cancer?<br/><br/>So that brings me to Augustus ""Gus"" Waters. The knight in shining armor in my opinion. A character you couldn't help but adore and love especially when he gave up his Wish to fly his non-girlfriend, and later girlfriend, to Amsterdam to meet her favorite author. The boy that fought so hard to get her to fall in love with him while in remission to just have it all ripped from him by finding out that once again, he had to battle for life that he was destined to lose. Which he did lose and which broke me to pieces.<br/><br/>I never once expected it would be Augustus who died in the end, I always thought it was Hazel but John Green has a way of turning the tables on you and making me assume one thing and throws something else your way. But at the same time, I wouldn't have it any other way. I didn't want to read a book that was so... cliché. I wanted to read something a bit different and would surprise me and this definitely did. All in all, this is one of my favorite books now, I recommend it to everyone, and I have been touched in an indescribable way and it will never leave me.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1MTZWWJ3TU0BJ?ASIN=014242417X	Okay?  Okay.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Hazel Grace and Augustus Waters:  fated to meet, match wits, navigate love and literary odyssey, avenge injustice and generally ""suck the marrow out of life"" while they can, just as they are fated not to linger overlong on this earth.<br/>They meet at painfully earnest teen cancer survivors' Support Group (where fellow teenaged cancer survivors, morose or maniacally upbeat or something in-between, gather in a tiresome mantra-and-proverb-laced circle to listen to their leader's weekly iteration of his own survival and ""ball-lessness"" and share with one another their triumphs and struggles). Both have lost parts of themselves to the disease. Each uses a keen and pliant intellect and an old soul to full advantage, even as their bodies continue to betray them.<br/>  As they battle internal and external malignancies, hijacking each other's lives and dreams while their roller coaster car speeds inexorably to its apex (read the book), Augustus and Hazel try to answer the unanswerable, hold onto slim hope while seeking graceful--or at least acceptable--exit for the sake of those they love, and find truth and meaning in whatever time they have, leaving a positive force in a scarred universe, even if they can't, as Augustus writes, ""pull their stars into constellations.""<br/>  This is a story concerning two young adults with cancer, but, miraculously, it is NOT a ""book about people with cancer.""  Sarcastic, romantic, wildly clever, shining, even funny, it's a starry night above a wounded landscape. Someday, it--we--will all be ""once was,"" void, forgotten.  But for now, we are.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RQCD9EZGSJ0VO?ASIN=014242417X	Can Someone Please Pass the Tissues!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is my first time reading a John Green book and all I could do was be so engrossed in his storytelling, it's truly captivating and riveting work.  All the characters are beautifully written and wow the romance between Hazel and Gus is probably one the best couples I've EVER read in print.  The chemistry those two share is beyond special -- they are realistic and perfectly matched.  Not to mention, TFIOS is more than just a fictionalize depressing cancer read, but it takes the issue a step farther showing not everyone who has a life threatening cancer are not simply waiting around to die, but there are actually people who keep enjoying their life, even when all hope is probably lost.  That's why I love the Gus character so much, besides the fact he's charming, funny, and charisma for days, he never let his cancer get the best of him.  Same can definitely be said for Hazel too.<br/><br/>All I have to say is: BUY THIS BOOK!  You won't be disappointed one bit by this story.  And when you do read it make sure have the tissues on deck.  I'm not much of a crier of books, but thanks to John Green's profound writing, I shedded a few tears.  He simply nails it!</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1TXZIVYD65Q90?ASIN=014242417X	This book was so much better than I expected!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was so not what I expected at all. I'd seen it mentioned a lot this year, but after reading the Goodreads description, I was unimpressed. It just didn't sound appealing to me at all. But then came a lot of End of Year Surveys and Top Ten Books of 2012, and I saw this book all over the place. I figured for it to be getting that much love, it had to be better than it sounded, and I decided to give it a chance.<br/><br/>From the very beginning, the first couple pages, it was clear to me that I really, really liked Hazel. Even though she is terminally ill with cancer, she has a sense of humor that can't be beat. I found myself chuckling a lot at things that came out of her mouth, and I found myself often forgetting that she was, in fact, sick, until the next mention of her cannula came up.<br/><br/>Augustus was easily my favorite character. He was just so swoon-worthy and romantic, but also hilarious and sarcastic. From the start, I really liked his interaction with Hazel. They just had a relationship that was so believable but still really enjoyable to read. I never found myself rolling my eyes or getting aggravated with them. I really loved their chemistry.<br/><br/>There was a twist at the end that while I sort of saw it coming, it wasn't blatantly predictable, and I liked it. It changed the way I expected the story to go, which was nice. I am also glad that a prediction I made for the ending did not come true. I definitely thought it was foreshadowed and would not have been happy with it, so I'm glad that it didn't happen the way I thought it would.<br/><br/>I did find myself with some questions left over at the end of the story, but I think that that was realistic. The whole story was very realistic, and in life, you don't always get the answers you want, and you don't always get a happy ending. I thought that was appropriate here.<br/><br/>Overall, I really, really loved this book. It was so beautifully written, a realistic look at the way cancer affects people's lives. I found my heart going out to the characters for their struggles, but moreso loving how they continued to live their lives and not let their cancer define them. I would definitely recommend that everybody read this book, and I will definitely be reading more John Green. I easily give it 5 stars!</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2ZTTI8VNTQXE4?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing and Beautiful	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I am a college student. I read textbooks. I can't tell you when the last time I read for fun was. I received this book from a friend as a Christmas gift. My friend knows that it takes a lot for a book to impress me. I had no idea what The Fault in Our Stars was about. I started reading this book and throughout the first five chapters I found myself laughing and crying at the same time. I was happy and sad at the same time about two fictional characters, dealing with the deadly disease of cancer, falling in love. I have laughed at books and I have cried at books but I have not laughed and cried at a book at the same time. John Green was so descriptive about every detail. When Hazel and Gus were in Amsterdam on their dinner date, I could picture in my mind exactly what the scene looked like. After Gus told Hazel his cancer came back and those chapters when you knew he was dying, I sobbed. ""You don't know what you have until it's gone."" The truth is Hazel knew what she had she just never thought she'd lose it...I have heard rumblings of this book becoming a movie and God, I pray that it doesn't become a film. My Sister's Keeper is my favorite book, ever. I saw the movie and seriously was distraught at how much it changed. The Fault in Our Stars is too great of a book to be tampered with.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1BZ4P4LGLPKLM?ASIN=014242417X	Teenagers with Cancer?  Witty and entertaining!!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Who would have thought that one could write about teenagers with terminal cancer and make it entertaining and witty.  This author got it spot on.  It was very well written in a lighthearted way that made it a very entertaining read.  I did shed a tear at the beginning of chapter 21, and I defy anyone not to, but overall it was not a depressing book, despite the subject matter.  The three main characters, Hazel, Augustus and Isaac were just trying to live their lives as best they could despite their awful diagnoses.  They made me realise that people with cancer are still people as well and should not be defined by their cancer.  I am guilty of avoiding the elephant in the room when I see a child that has cancer and trying to avoid them rather than have to face the issue or them as a person.  I hope that reading this book will change that.<br/><br/>I have dropped a star from the book as the character of Peter Van Houten was very annoying.  I realise that he was supposed to be a *** and very annoying but I felt the author went slightly overboard on getting that point across.  It was apparent early on and he did not need to labour the fact with some of the pretentiousness that was included.  It got so much at one point that I felt that the author was trying to get across how clever he, himself was rather than the character of Van Houten.<br/><br/>I also dropped another star as I thought the ending was not tragic enough.  Difficult to explain why without giving away a spoiler but I really wanted it to end the way the fictional book (mentioned throughout) ""An<br/>Imperial Affliction"" ended!  I thought that would have been a more dramatic and poignant ending.<br/><br/>Despite only getting 3 stars from me, it was a good read and one I will definitely pass onto someone.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1290JRSJZA6N3?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault of Our Stars--so much more than 'young adult' fiction.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Perhaps, these days, the most important quality I assign to a book, especially a novel, is the emotional effect it has on me. Also important are the quality of the dialogue, particularly when it's a significant part of the book, the originality of the story, the sense I get of the realness, the humanness, of the characters. Considering all of that, John Green's novel, The Fault in Our Stars, is extraordinary.<br/>I've seen some assignment of the book to the 'young adult' category of book types. I disagree with that designation, though the book could be read, understood and appreciated by teenagers. (A look at the ages, or references, of many reviewers at amazon.com demonstrates the story's appeal to that reading group.)<br/>A story most focused on two teenagers with cancer, they and other characters speak mature universal insights and realities about life, living with cancer, mortality shortened, the emotional stumbling and navigation of all intimately involved characters--parents, other adults, friends, other teens, this book contains so much and gives so much to and for its readers. (As a nurse I have some knowledge and understanding of the severe illness and dying processes.)<br/>I read this book in pieces; I couldn't have read it in a couple or three sittings. It's emotional forces--teens with deadly cancer, its humor--gallows and otherwise--the gut-wrenching pain, the development of love between two people knowing of their potential short futures--wouldn't allow me to read this special and amazingly well-written and compassionate story.<br/>For me, The Fault of Our Stars lived up to and surpassed its billing, its hype, if you will. For the complete, compelling and surpassing quality of the story, I score it five stars.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R20K8QKO3ESGNX?ASIN=014242417X	I Wanted to Love It	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I confess I'd never heard of John Green but the plot seemed intriguing so I bought the book.  I wanted to love it, like the 5-starred readers did.  But I didn't ever find myself relating to the characters.  I found myself wanting to know the backstory of the main characters' illnesses.  To understand more what experiencing their deathly diseases was like.  What was it like when they were diagnosed?  The reaction of the parents.  The reaction of the kids.  The reaction of their friends.<br/><br/>I guess I was looking for more substance.  Like  what I'd find in a Jodi Piccault novel. Instead, all that I had expected was replaced by a peek at Augustus' sisters and kids, Hazel's girlfriend and Van Hauten.  They were so quickly introduced and then gone (except maybe for Van Hauten) I felt they brought no relevance to the story.  Van Hauten's first appearance made sense but once with him was enough.  His second appearance was totally implausible.<br/><br/>I'm 61 and I know this a YA book.  Maybe that is my problem...</span>"

A book about cancer cannot be anything but sad - can it? Now that I have read it I would just like to clarify that this is NOT a book about cancer; it is a story about teenagers who are living with cancer.<br/>It is touching, funny, endearing, and yes, at times sad. It is profound, thought provoking, and beautifully written. This story has touched my soul and I will not forget Hazel Grace and Augustus Waters any time soon.<br/><br/>""That's the thing about pain ... it demands to be felt.""<br/><br/>I strongly recommend this book to everyone ... male, female, young, and old.

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R281QS24ZNQYZR?ASIN=014242417X	Well worth the time.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is the greatest piece of literature I have ever stumbled upon. A friend let me borrow her copy, and I immediately went home and read. I didn't expect to get so interested, but nonetheless, I finished the whole thing in 7 and a half hours. I laughed, I cried, and a weird mixture of the two which sounded like a dying walrus. I can't even begin to explain how well written this novel is. As a 15 year old girl with health problems, I, too, know what it's like to go to sleep not having the comfort that you will definitely awaken in the morning or ever fall in love or be remembered when you're gone. This book spoke to me in ways no one ever could. It made me realize that everyone's days are numbered and there is hope and promise in finding pure joy in the little time that we have here on earth. I debated on posting this for a really long time, and then realized why. I was feeling Hazel's same emotion with An Imperial Affliction: wanting to scream to the world that this is greatest book ever written and also wanting to keep it hidden, a secret, kept only for you, and you alone. I then came to the conclusion that if every one in the world read this book and genuinely felt the pain of every character that enters the story, perceive every moment of sheer joy and those of pure desolation John Green inscribed onto  all 313 pages, that the world would reach it's own eternal nirvana. But the world is not a wish-granting factory.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3LEVMJ7KQ6Z8V?ASIN=014242417X	Best John Green Yet	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Among all the vampires, apocalypses, and plagues John Green's books are always a breath of fresh air. His stories are smart, funny, sad, and utterly true about the world. His characters may not be the average Joe or Jane, but they have something so human at their heart that it impossible to not feel the emotional roller coaster and catharsis of their stories. With Looking for Alaska John took us somewhere heart-heartrendingly sad with teenager suicide. In An Abundance of Katherines we met the charismatic math prodigy searching for love, and finding it in the most unusual of places. In Paper Towns we go on a daring road trip through adventure and love. In Will Grayson, Will Grayson John partnered with David Levithan to bring us the story of two boys trying to find their way in the world and make an identity for themselves. Now in The Fault in Our Stars we meet Hazel Grace and August Waters: teenagers with cancer.<br/><br/>From the very opening lines we see immediately that Hazel is darkly sarcastic and deeply afraid. She is sixteen years old and her cancer is slowly killing her. She knows she wants more out of life, but is resigned to the fact that she will not get it. Estranged from her old friends by her disease, she hides in her room re-reading her favorite book over and over again. The book is like Hazel: it is the story of a girl who could have a brilliant future, but her dreams are cut dramatically short (the book literally has no conclusive ending) by cancer. But Hazel's mother is not content to see her daughter waste away what is left of her life inside four walls: so Hazel ends up reluctantly joining a Support Group for teens with cancer. And that is where she meets Augustus Waters.<br/><br/>He is beautiful and athletic and funny and smart, and missing a leg from a surgery that saved his life and put him in remission several years before. Hazel is drawn to him because of his energy, his beauty, and the fact that he is instantly interested in her. Within their first day they are fast friends, with the stirrings of something more. Their romance is not love at first sight--at least not for Hazel--and it is not easy. Two teenagers brought low by the betrayal of their bodies can never laugh as easy as those of us who will never understand that pain. But they find the good and the laughter amid all the struggle.<br/><br/>As you would expect in a book like this, someone dies. I won't say who, because that ruins the story, but it's no spoiler to say that someone does. The real resonance of this story wouldn't exist without the death of one of the characters. While it might be a great dream/fantasy to read about two kids with cancer who miraculously beat it and go on to live long happy lives, that is not John Green's intention. He doesn't want to tell fantasies. He also isn't telling the hard, plain truth. His stories fall somewhere in the middle--in that place where dreams and reality meet to make us laugh and cry all at once. Even with death and reality looming over their shoulders we cheer for Hazel and Augustus until the very end.<br/><br/>So many nay-sayers of young adult fiction would argue that books for teens aren't worth reading because they have no deeper meaning. John Green's books (and so many other fantastic YA authors) blow those people away. The story of Hazel and Augustus is one of facing death, of finding your place in the universe, of wondering what you think about God and the afterlife, of trying to love someone even knowing that one of you will lost the other sooner than later, of trying to find meaning in the chaos.<br/><br/>The Fault in Our Stars will be a must-read this year for young adult readers, and readers of any age. It is one of those stories that will touch your heart in unexpected ways, and stick with you long after you have turned the last page.</span>"

So hopeless, so lovely, so hurtful, and so very daring, A Fault In Our Stars is a magnificent addition to my family of favorite books, to which John Green is no stranger.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2BTN992Y1NO0T?ASIN=014242417X	A Review With no Spoilers what-so-ever.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Yesterday, my mother arrived home with news that she had found a package waiting for me on the doorstep. I knew immediately that it was my copy of TFIOS, as I had been eagerly awaiting its arrival since I had pre-ordered it a year ago. As I began reading it that night, I became so engrossed in the story that I almost had to hurl the book across the room in order to part from it and settle down for a good night's sleep.<br/><br/>This afternoon, accompanied by a box of tissues, I finished what I can only describe as the least patronising Young Adult novel I think I've ever encountered. I have been an avid reader since before I started school, and now at the age of nineteen, had long ago moved into adult and classic literature due to the seemingly common belief amongst authors of YA fiction that teenagers are not capable of tackling real issues and 'big' words. Green's writing ( I have also read Paper Towns and An Abundance of Katherines, saving LFA till last) has the same effect on me as the 'modern classics'- it makes me marvel at the power of words, and the ability that some posess to make us think about more than the mundane, every-day workings of our own lives.<br/><br/>I promised no spoliers at all, and so I shan't even mention the names of the characters (I'm sure you know them already anyway), but I will say, if you're a teenager who likes it when adults give us the benefit of the doubt, read this novel. If you're an adult- read this novel.<br/><br/>I think the best way to finish this review is to point you towards the quote that features on its front cover as the most accurate summation of the 'emotional rollercoaster' (to both use a cliche and throw in a sneeky reference to the novel) that this book will take you on. Or I could simply say, reading this book was a few hours very well spent.</span>"

The reason I read so many is because I know that every so often, I'll stumble upon one that turns me inside out. This is one of those books. It's the kind of book that leaves you physically aching after you shut it; the kind that makes you feel like you'll never look at the world the same. This books rips your heart out and makes you feel like there's a bowling ball sitting on your chest. It makes you crack up laughing, until the people sitting near you on the bus look at you like you're crazy. And best of all, it sews you back together again and makes you think -- really think -- about what it means to live in this crazy, devastating, joyful world.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R36IRZ77ZG70XS?ASIN=014242417X	Love, Life, and Its Imperial Affliction	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Love, Life, and Its Imperial Affliction (NO SPOILERS)<br/><br/> ""Whenever you read a cancer booklet or website or whatever, they always list depression among the side effects of cancer. But, in fact, depression is not a side effect of cancer. Depression is a side effect of dying. (Cancer is also a side effect of dying. Almost everything is, really.)"" This is how, by page one, John Green had me hooked. Green, author of young adult novels such as Paper Towns, An Abundance of Katherines, and Looking for Alaska, released his newest novel, The Fault in Our Stars, on January 10, 2012. The novel follows sixteen-year old Hazel Grace Lancaster through her battle with, not only cancer, but the challenge of living a ""meaningful"" life. Whatever that means.<br/><br/> One of the things that connecting me to the text, more so than any of Green's other novels, is the biting and witty realism of Hazel. All of Green's major previous works have been told from the perspective of a teenaged (usually nerdy) male. To read something of his written from the female perspective was a breath of fresh air. Like many of Green's other protagonists, Hazel and her love interest Augustus Waters converse is a fashion that makes me green with envy. Their intellectual quips and humor make me yearn for a generation of teenagers who are more interested in literary debate than the newest edition of Call of Duty.<br/><br/> This novel is a roller coaster of emotion. In the five hours I spent devouring it, I giggled, guffawed, screamed in frustration, bawled my eyes out, and laughed through the tears. This myriad of reactions is the sign of a meaningful text. There is no point in experiencing something which gives you nothing in return. Jonathan Franzen once said that ""The reader is a friend, not an adversary, not a spectator.""  Just as friends make each other feel a variety of different emotions, not always positive, if one is being realistic, the reader shares that roller coaster ride with Green with relish and appreciation. Although he writes from the perspective of teenagers and theirs thoughts and feelings, Green's words are universal (speaking to different types of people has become a strong suit of John's, having posted videos for nearly 646,000 ""Nerdfighter"" subscribers on the Vlogbrothers YouTube channel he shares with his brother Hank). The special connection I feel to The Fault in Our Stars, however, is not limited to the beauty of Green's language and character development. This literary journey made me consider and appreciate those I love so much more. The day following my completion of The Fault in Our Stars, I felt the incessant need to hug all my friends for extended periods of time, just to try to convey to them, in some small way, how deeply I value them. The Fault in Our Stars will be more than just a beautiful diversion of your time; it will force you to examine your relationships with other people, as well as your relationship to the world itself. It the best possible way. Happy page-turning, and DFTBA.<br/><br/>Disclaimer: The Fault in Our Stars contains some depictions of a sexual nature, as well as some mild language, and dark themes concerning death that may not be suitable for some younger bibliophiles.</span>"

He writes young people so well and with such intelligence and humor, that I wish I was more like his young characters when I was their age. Ultimately this story is about love and courage, and the hand life may deal you. I thought it was well portrayed and loved reading this book.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1N1AQG20074R6?ASIN=014242417X	Kept me coming back for more.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I've never wanted to be friends with the characters from a book more. John Green outdid himself with this beautiful work of art. Each person is vividly described, the dialogue flows smoothly, the plot development doesn't blindside you at any point and is easy to follow. This is my favorite book I've read thus far. The Fault in Our Stars made me laugh and cry. Read this book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R20Y09DW5ITCS6?ASIN=014242417X	In short, there's no good reason not to read this	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">If you're considering reading this book, you can find the first couple of chapters online since John Green read them on his youtube channel, and they will give you an idea of what to expect if you want an idea of the plot.  All of the insights and witticisms and wonderful characters only get better as it goes.  In John's own words, this book will hopefully make you feel 'all of the things!!!' and for me, anyway, it came through in spades (even though it made me cry and I have an extreme aversion to sappy things).<br/><br/>In short, if you're considering this at all, I can't think of any good reason not to read it.  I would recommend it to someone 15 years old or 105, someone reading for entertainment or for loftier reasons, someone to whom a plot of ill kids wrestling with the unfair way the healthy world treats them as 'other' is intimately familiar or to anyone who has ever felt 'other' at all.  I'm pretty sure that covers everyone (except for like, babies or something).</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3IKSMASI9YHMB?ASIN=014242417X	John Green does it again	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">If you are a fan of realistic, honest, smart books, this is the book for you. Although John Green writes in a genre known as ""young adult,"" his books are far from kid stuff. He honors young adult literature and teenagers by writing them such intelligent books with characters who are well spoken, funny, and raw. The Fault In Our Stars will make you fall in love with Hazel Grace and Augustus Waters. The sarcastic wit with which they face the world around them brings amazing humor to a grim reality. I am doing everything in my power not to add spoilers to this review and to gush about the latest, and perhaps best yet John Green masterpiece. The Fault In Our Stars is heartbreakingly spectacular. I am an avid reader, and love the Nerdfighter web of authors. This is literally the best book I have read this year. Literally.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RL8J0BZ2MGOMU?ASIN=014242417X	First time I felt the need to rate a book on Amazon.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I spent all day reading this, and only took breaks to eat and go to the bathroom. I haven't done that with a book since Harry Potter, and that is really saying something.<br/><br/>It's dark and funny and painstakingly honest and bleak... But hopeful too. So hopeful.<br/><br/>So often romances in YA novels can seem contrived or based solely on physical attraction regardless of the characters' actual merit... But somehow John Green, I think for the first time in one of his books, really captured a couple who felt a true and deep love. These characters are so special, and they will stay with me for the rest of my life.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3IW2ORBFILI99?ASIN=014242417X	Beautiful.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Simply this: Probably one the most beautiful books I have had the pleasure of reading. DFTBA.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R370UIZZUC24RS?ASIN=014242417X	Hauntingly Beautiful	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars is perfection. You could say it's *puts on sunglasses* faultless. AWWWW YEAHHH. Sorry I couldn't resist that pun. John Green writes engrossing and honest. He makes it feel as though there is no barrier between the story and the reader. And the story is hauntingly beautiful. The characters feel real. The pain and joy feels real. Its honestly the best book I've read ever.  You will lie on your bed after reading this and just think about the amazingness you were lucky enough to experience. You need to read this book. You will not be disappointed. I promise. I'll stop writing this review to go back and reread it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R21K42H7YW47F4?ASIN=014242417X	John Green didn't Forget To Be Awesome.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars is quite possibly the most gripping story that I have ever read. It moved me to the point of tears, which no book has done to this effect, ever before. Not Catcher In the Rye, not Great Gatsby, not A Clockwork Orange, not even The Outsiders. I think that this book is not only superior to some of these books, but it deserves a place among them.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2IOQ7IKSZ9DEM?ASIN=014242417X	Wow.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is incredible. It'll have you laughing than crying than laughing again. Buy it right now. You won't regret it, I promise.</span>"

This book may very well be an instant classic. John Green is my favorite author, and I will continue you to support his writing in every way possible. Read this book. It will change your life.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1D5W3MXVJROWR?ASIN=014242417X	absolutely outstanding	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I never thought I could have my heart broken by anything other than another living soul, but The Fault in Our Stars proved me wrong completely. This is the first book in a long time that I simply not put down, and for good reason: both the writing and the storyline pulled me in from the first paragraph. The tale of love and loss pales all others that I have read, which is more than a few. John said that he hoped that we, the readers, would feel as if we transcended the limits of ourselves while reading this - I felt that and so much more.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RBIIG46K2JGX0?ASIN=014242417X	Okay? Okay. Maybe Okay will be our Always.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Such a great book. I hate when people say a book was ""so sad"" while trying to avoid saying that there is death in the story, as if they haven't already spoiled something by saying it was so sad. Obviously there is death. You can't have a book with cancer and NOT have death. But this book is still different than the myriad of ""cancer kid"" books out there.<br/><br/>Different, good.<br/>Different, painful.<br/>Different, meaningful.<br/>Different, special.<br/><br/>It's filled with equal parts love and fear, hope and despair, humor and sadness. It's indescribable. Just do yourself a favor and read it.</span>"

I literally could not put this book down, and I finished it the day I got it. This book will make you laugh and cry at the same time. (Literally)</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3VK4P9I3KLMGU?ASIN=014242417X	This book needs a finishing touch!!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I loved this book so much, but I was devastated when Augustus Waters died. I know there won't be another ""GOOD"" book without Augustus Waters, but atleast a summary of what happens to the other characters. Just like how Hazel wanted a summary of ""Imperial Affliction"". You did an amazing job, John green, but you need another book....</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3QNLLJECCEUIJ?ASIN=014242417X	Fantastic	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I have never taken the time out of my day to write a review about anything unless it was convenient or required but this book was so moving that I had too. I love John as as author as well as a person and he (through youtube) has given me much knowledge and wisdom. I cannot thank him enough for his contributions to society and me as an individual.</span>"

Highly recommend you read this book and I guarantee you won't regret it</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1YPPR3ZSDYABG?ASIN=014242417X	Heartbreaking in the most wonderful of ways.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is amazing. It portrays such a realistic ambience, one that not many authors can pull off. You will really feel that you're hovering over the rooms the characters are in, READ and as if the story really is true. READ IT. that's all there is to it. It will give you new outlooks on life, and you get to enjoy an incredible story. Go for it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R351ER3KG0WEO6?ASIN=014242417X	Amazingly amazing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">John Green does it again in what can be described as a beautiful story of a young girl and boy who both are lucky enough to experience love. Cancer is at the forefront of this story, but there's more to it. Green has a way of instantly capturing your attention and caring so deeply for all characters involved.<br/><br/>Highly recommend this book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R26N27FM2TTCY?ASIN=014242417X	a great read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Readers beware. If you dislike great books that occasionally bring you to tears and fill you with emotion, don't buy this book.  If you despise books that have beautifully quirky characters and tell stories of youthful romances then you should quickly leave this page.  If however, you enjoy these feelings and types of books then please read this.</span>"

It was so good! At the end, I sort of just entered a complicated emotional state I'm still not over from. I cried. A lot. But also laughed a lot. This book made me so happy inside and then tore me apart. Highly recommended! I hope they don't mess it up when it becomes a movie!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R39O5094K0TEE8?ASIN=014242417X	Really engaging	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I hadn't really had time for any reading I wanted to do, and I ended up getting this on my kindle for a long weekend and read it in two days. It was extremely engaging, fast paced with characters that you really connect with and feel for.  Get the tissues ready though.  I definitely shed a few tears which doesn't happen often when reading for me.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R29ALZTNCXCPK7?ASIN=014242417X	...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Read the book in a day &amp; a half. Thanx to spoilers I already knew what would happen but it didn't matter either way. I know supposedly this book is a serious tear jerked but reading it made me happy. Yes they're all ill but how many of us have the chance to meet our own Augustus or Hazel? The book shows the world as it is &amp; I loved it's honesty.</span>"

I am forever grateful to my school for recommending this book. So good. From the beginning of the novel, I was constantly crying from sadness, or crying from laughter. The only downside to this book is that your belly will hurt from laughing so hard. Good abdominal workout though...</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R45KPCNTEIG97?ASIN=014242417X	Wonderful Rollercoaster	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Very few young adult fiction leaves me as a reader with something to think about. I read the Last few pages in the early hours of the morning before school. And it left me with an awful sensation in my stomach, like a stone just sitting there. I couldn't stop thinking about it. Which is a big reason w huh u this novel as cores so big in my book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RJXOYN8X63DE?ASIN=014242417X	Funny, Poignant & Wonderful	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">A plot summary can't do this book justice.  The characters are wonderful, the dialog and first-person writing is funny and smart (if maybe a little too well-read and insightful to be completely believable coming from teenagers, but I'm willing to suspend belief because it's that entertaining), and the story is beautiful.  Definitely a must read.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R32IFNH2QEOM6U?ASIN=014242417X	Excellent	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This story brings forth every emotion.  It forces the reader to experience the book physically.  It is very well written and has a beautiful way of guiding the reader to experience the world through the character's  thoughts and views. It is often witty and smart. I highly recommend it.  I couldn't put it down.  One of my new all-time favorites.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is by far the best thing I've ever read. This book has inspired me to be more grateful for my health, my family, etc. Words cannot describe the amount of emotions I received. I cried with feelings of complete and utter saddness, unfathomable anger , and genuine laughter. John Green is an amazing writer and a true understander of human life.</span>"

Highly recommended reading for anyone who is going through cancer or who loves anyone who is on that journey or for anyone who is learning to live with love and loss. Essentially, this book is for those who embrace the experience of being human.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R9V8J2R4IKVYZ?ASIN=014242417X	So so sad.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This really is a sad book. It's an amazing book... but it's a sad one. At the beginning I decided to just jump to the end and see what happened. I was shocked but wasn't truly upset. But when i actually got to the part (reading everything before it) I sobbed like a little baby. It was truly heart wrenching. And for that Mr John Green, 5 stars.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R22DR0JCN2X0LI?ASIN=014242417X	So wonderful	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Although this is a young adult novel, I loved every sentence of it. The characters were so very human and you fell in love with them quickly, absorbed by their situations and the ways they chose to manage their cancer-driven lives. So many light-hearted moments, too. I think/hope this will become a classic for teens and possibly their parents.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3G1UT4MTFLNDB?ASIN=014242417X	Love, death and beyond	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I had no expectations about the book. It was on one of the Amazon Kindle lists. Once I started reading. I could not put it down. In short, it is about the lives of teenagers who are living with various stages of cancer. They want to live and die on their terms.  They do so with courage, humor, and all the snarkiness of teenagers. A good read.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R20LEM1W5X16HL?ASIN=014242417X	Forever my favorite read.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book changed me. It makes me think and feel and ache more than I ever have in my whole life. I understand death and life and people better after reading it, and me being the naive 16 year old that I am, that's a big deal. John Green has done it again with this masterpiece. This story is an instant classic wrought with pain and true love.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R19OJ6TUKOOJUF?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book had been recomended to me by multiple people, so I eventually broke down and got it from the library. Let me just say, this book is amazing. There is a perfectly crafted plot line paired with lovable characters. With that said, I feel that the character development was a bit rushed. I highly recommend reading (and buying) this book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3H4DVI6ZEHRGU?ASIN=014242417X	View from the inside	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book provides an insightful and provocative look at the lived experience of an adolescent with cancer. It is both humorous and poignant. I am a healthcare provider and am recommending it to all my oncology and pediatric colleagues. It is an excellent read for anyone who wants to understand more about the experience of living with cancer.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3PD64STANUSQT?ASIN=014242417X	Very realistic Portrayal	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">John Green does a very good job writing from a teenage girl's point of view. I thought the portrayal of cancer treatment was also very accurate. The dialog and thoughts are very blunt and realistic. I loved the humor and Hazel is a wonderful and inspiring character. I'm only half-way through the book and am having a hard time putting it down!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2D6SYUJEDWCRE?ASIN=014242417X	Heartfelt & close to perfect	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This novel about two young adults with cancer makes you fall in love with the protagonists but not in a manipulative way. The plot is fun, down to earth, romantic, and thrilling despite the omnipresence of cancer. I had to race to the end to see how it would unfold, and it is sweet and just. I loved reading this book, one of the best of 2012.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RFAKWYHRR9TAZ?ASIN=014242417X	touching quick read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This young adult novel takes readers through the ageless story of love and loss/ confrontation with mortality in an entertaining &amp; thoughtful way. I'm not sure if it was the way I was captured by the book or the simplicity of the text that allowed me to tear through the pages in less than 24 hours, but the quality was such that I don't mind.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3RA6RSXRNW8P4?ASIN=014242417X	Shook my heart	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Moved me. For many reasons. The reality that true love is something that's rare these days and the miniscule probability that I will find for myself or for somebody I personally know are amongst them.<br/><br/>Easy read. I did not stop reading even if I needed to, because it was a page turner and my need to finish it compelled me strongly.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R33UDJQIEZMKWQ?ASIN=014242417X	Not signed.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The picture of the book was signed, and John Green said Amazon should have had enough signed copies to distribute. I would greatly like a bookplate that he will be sending to Amazon and Amazon UK for those who did not receive signed editions of the book.<br/><br/>Other than that, the book is utterly life changing. No matter how old you are. Read it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3847FRL9T538U?ASIN=014242417X	Not as great as I thought	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I think I read this is super high expectations, from everyone talking about it, and seeing the previews for the movie. It was a nice story, kinda sad, but was a nice read. I was getting down to the last few pages and wondering how it's suppose to end in the next few paragraphs. There wasn't much of a close to the story, just kinda ended....</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3BYRTU79T37UQ?ASIN=014242417X	Worthy of the heavens	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I went into this book just looking for something to read on a long flight. What I found was a remarkable story with so much more than I originally thought it had to offer. I assumed it was sad, little love story and that would entertaining but not deep. I was completely wrong in this assumption. Read the book, don't give it another thought.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3J1GFJOTMVK6A?ASIN=014242417X	Beautiful and intelligent story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I just loved this story.  The characters are well written and brutally honest.  I laughed and cried.  I felt like I just couldn't get enough, I wanted to know more about all the characters lives after the book ended.  However all good things come to an end.  Don't shy away because labeled young adult, this story is for all mature audiences.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R29ZES4CNGN7VU?ASIN=014242417X	An emotional book worth reading	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault In Our Stars is worth reading. It is heartfelt and has an amazing story. Hazel is such a strong character threw her cancer yet she never gives up on her family. Things may seem tough for her at times but it's still a real page<br/> Turner. I highly recommend reading this book and seeing the movie when it comes out in May or June</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RMJ88DPE1YE3B?ASIN=014242417X	Read this book; and pass it forward	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">A simple but beautifully written book with characters that are as believable as they are lovable. The dialogue is sharp, witty and truthful. The spine of the book, though difficult and one that could easily drift into a smarmy delivery, is handled with  wisdom, courage, and great humanity. This is a great book, not just a great youth book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RTNX3BQ4P8BTV?ASIN=014242417X	So Well Written	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Although John Green generally writes for young adults, and I am an older adult, I truly enjoyed this book. Wonderfully written. Themes: strength and weakness in the face of adversity, platonic and romantic love, priorities, hope, disillusionment, “The world is not a wish-granting factory.” Highly recommend this book for anyone, at any age.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2HXZ4D3KW5WFZ?ASIN=014242417X	Mediocre	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Unless you like ""sappy, corny""  love stories then you should avoid this book.  Being a cancer patient myself, I can say with all honesty that the story wasn't realistic or believable.  They are promoting it as the ""love story of the year"" and it falls way short of that billing.  I would not recommend this story for young teenagers at all.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I was so scared to read this book, afraid that it would rip my heart out. Which it did kinda, but that's to be expected situation like this. The characters just in this book are so easy to fall in love with. I love their humor and how they talk to each other. I love how it's a cancer story but also a love story. I just loved it period. &lt;3</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R26L20QIXOZAPW?ASIN=014242417X	There are no happy endings	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book made me realize how heartbreaking and terrible cancer can be. It also let me see what it would be like to be in that kind of situation. I really wish  you could change the plot of the story and create a happy ending but in reality there isn't happy endings, and that's something I also like about this book is that it's real/true.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RUX4NR2EG15IQ?ASIN=014242417X	Endless rivers of tears	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">No book I have ever read has caused me to feel as deeply as this one did. The only others that managed to come even close were Mr. Green's other works. The emotions are visceral, they're real, they're heartbreaking and they are so. Very. Beautiful. I cannot praise it highly enough, there aren't strong enough words in the English language.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R8K7VLXODQ3HX?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault In Our Stars Book Review	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault In Our Stars was a riveting love story about two teenagers struggling with terminal cancer. I read the book twice savoring over every last word. This book inspired me to the point where I have no words. I pride John Green in creating this glorious work of art and I advise those who have not read it to begin as soon as possible.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RT9K4D6GCHKPY?ASIN=014242417X	Good Read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This was a very good read.  It's the first book I have read written by John Green.  However, I am now looking forward to reading his other works very soon.  The story line being about cancer hit close to home for me.  I would recommend this book to anyone really.  It's an easy read - I finished it in 2 days which is very uncommon for me.</span>"

I had a few questionable choices in my ""to read"" list in the last few weeks and this book was absolut jackpot!!!!!!!!!!<br/>Witty, smart, devastating, and so well written.<br/>It is a journey, a  very moving one.<br/>Impossible to put down.<br/>I am now and officially an absolut fan of this guy.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R34J1FLD1PH3QA?ASIN=014242417X	Definitely worth the read.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book for me is what An Imperial Affliction was for Hazel. I can absolutely read this novel over and over again, yet never quite be able to explain to someone why I enjoy it so much. Never before has a novel brought me to tears, yet made me smile at the same time. John Green is a phenomenal writer, and this novel will not disappoint.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3OC51359SFTLC?ASIN=014242417X	Quick Read, Great Story.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This novel is geared toward Young Adults but I recommend as a must read for all ages, young adult and adult alike!  This is a quick read with a heartwarming story of young love.  It's sad, funny and touching all at the same time.  Fault in Our Stars is one of those books you will be thinking about and discussing long after you finish it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1I4U7Q51VT9DK?ASIN=014242417X	Excellent new book by John Green	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I couldn't wait to read another John Green book and was glad I got this one by preordering it! High school kids love John Green and old people, like me, do, too.<br/>This one is a poignant account of teens with cancer....close to home to so many. I found myself crying, and I laughed aloud at so many parts that describe teens in high school.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2PR28FS6TLDEH?ASIN=014242417X	A Tear Jerker	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is by far one of the best books I have ever read. At first I didn't exactly want to read a cancer book, but I can assure this is nothing like any other one I have read. Thank you, John Green for letting the awesomeness that is The Fault in Our Stars be a part of this world. By writing this the world suck has gone down tremendously.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1WXRTCSXYLPWS?ASIN=014242417X	Once in a while	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">A book is written that finds a part of you that you went aware existed. It's hard to believe that someone you've never met can have the ability to extrapolate these feelings out of you with the simple written word. However John Green seems to have such an ability in A Fault in Our Stars, as I have never felt so happy to be quite so sad.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1GRJ2HSI5W2MN?ASIN=014242417X	It's lovely	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Look, I can say no more great things that anyone else who has posted before me.<br/><br/>This book is beautiful and haunting.<br/><br/>Funny and Smart.<br/><br/>Real and Cliche.<br/><br/>And it's filled with symbolism, some of which is obvious, some of which is painfully subtle, and some of which one of the main characters will gladly point out for you.<br/><br/>Just read it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2VXXK1W92KLOO?ASIN=014242417X	A beautiful book!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was so well written I got involved with the characters.  I liked it because it wasn't sappy. Hazel and Augustus faced death right in the face. They were so courageous.  They accepted their fate and went on. I so loved it that Hazel and Augustus had this love story going on until the end.  It was a wonderful book! I loved it!!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2G92R1X2H0X02?ASIN=014242417X	The best!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The ""realness"" of the book is heartwrenching.  You truly care about the characters and are heartbroken when tragedy hits them.<br/><br/>It is a sad book, as the young characters have illnesses and, as I said, tragedy finds them.<br/><br/>I would say this is like reading John Green's other book, ""Looking For Alaska"".</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1LA9V85XZ87CM?ASIN=014242417X	Diverting, but really only for YA fans	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book came highly recommended to me from several people, so maybe it was just over-hyped. In places, it struck me as Nicholas Sparks with more highbrow references. The story is engaging, but it feels like typical YA fiction. To me, it wasn't a very successful crossover for adult audiences, but maybe that just isn't what John Green was trying to write.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3IVIUJHWU3CJR?ASIN=014242417X	I love it	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is a masterpiece that most people don't find because they don't look hard enough. They have their eyes closed, not able to see, just like Isaac. But i- a 12 YEAR OLD GIRL -found this book! I am so glad that someone was so brilliant that they were able to make this AMAZING book! Thank you, John Green for making this wonderful book</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R34M2OB2L49PHR?ASIN=014242417X	Highly recommend	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I would have to say this is one of the best books I have read. There is something so real and raw about it. It is a book about love, and cancer, and finding yourself, and being true to yourself. It is told in such a real way that I laughed, and cried, and just felt like I really KNEW the characters. Definitely a must read for any age.</span>"

She's almost 11 and I got if for her because she was so excited and her friends were all seeing the movie. There were some inappropriate parts for a girl her age, but they served as opportunities for mature conversations. She really enjoyed the book. The shipping was fast and the book was in good condition.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R11JI4POPFENN0?ASIN=014242417X	A Great Read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Wow! This book was really, really wonderful. I read it in like, two vacation days. Such a real look at life and death and hope and cancer. Loved the heady verbal plays, even if they seemed a little too mature for the characters. Still utterly delightful and one of the best parts of the book. Don't miss this book, not a waste of time.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2LEKW5I22NCAB?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing novel	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I have read other books by John Green and this one is amazing as the rest.

I never read books more than once but I would read this over and over again xx</span>"

John NEVER forgets to be awesome, and this book is yet another proof of this. After reading it a few too many times (if one can read a book too many times) i can easily say that it is one of my top three favourite John Greens- together with Looking for Alaska and Paper Towns. As my wrist tattoo says: d.f.t.b.a.!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2DDIF5I08ZJVW?ASIN=014242417X	Yet another gem from John Green	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">A must-read. This book tugged at my heartstrings and really, really made me think. The characters are dimensional and realistic, and I got completely caught up in the plot. No other young adult author can hold a candle to John Green.<br/><br/>If you're thinking about buying this book, stop thinking and buy it already. You'll be glad you did.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2HUPE8LHVSE03?ASIN=014242417X	Most awesome read!!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I bought this book after I saw the movie trailer. I was totally moved by that movie trailer and found this book has incredibly high scores. I never thought I could finish a 300 page novel within three days, considering English is not my first language. But I did. And I totally enjoyed read, crying several times like a little girl...</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3C9M8D7SDIH89?ASIN=014242417X	Wonderful Book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">My 14 year old granddaughter told me I should read this book.  I downloaded it reluctantly thinking it was a book for teens.  It certainly is that and more!  What a beautiful story about friendship and love even thought the main characters have been diagnosed with cancer.  I look forward to the next book my granddaughter recommends.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3V3VOUREQHZWR?ASIN=014242417X	Wonderful	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I know a book is good when I can't feel the time passing by and my reality turns into that which is in the book. John Green is a wonderful author. He wrote about things that were so real and meaningful. I laughed and cried and I fell in love with The Fault in our Stars. I can easily say it's on my favorites list. Highly recommended.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RM4QZWFRSY05B?ASIN=014242417X	This is beautiful.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is not what I expected, but I'm so glad I read it. It's the most sad and tragic book I've ever encountered, but also by far the happiest and most hopeful. Careful to who reads it, you WILL cry. I sobbed. And there's a plot twist, which I LOVE. I never write reviews, but this book deserved one. Read it, you won't regret it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R38B68D770H2Q3?ASIN=014242417X	INSPIRING	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book...I was skeptical about reading because Augustus Waters died of the same cancer that my grandmother died of! I was so glad that I read it because it inspires Me to look past illness to find love an  compassion in someone, and that we all wish, but alas the world is not a wish granting factory! I cruelly recommend the book!</span>"

This book made me think, made me feel and changed the way I see the world!  I will teach this book soon, but this book is definitely not just for teens. I have recommended it to 5 people (I read it twice since January 5th) and they all loved it.<br/>READ THIS!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R28KZXERE97H2A?ASIN=014242417X	Raw and Powerful	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">For me the book was a powerful, moving wake up call. There is something so real, so raw and powerful, so moving in this book.<br/><br/>In the end what matters, is the experience of reading a book, and reading this one was special and moving in many significant ways. If you want a wake up call, if you want a look at reality - read this book.</span>"

I fell in love with Hazel (main character) and her dry humor and wit. The plot moves along perfectly without giving too much away. The characters are real and unapologetic.

I found the story compelling on multiple levels and having had someone close to me pass away from cancer, I could relate even though the main characters were not my age group at all. Simple, profound, touching, inspiring - it probably is not for everyone but I enjoyed every minute.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2HUNSKK4CB76J?ASIN=014242417X	Quirky	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was interesting.  It was well written with a rather unique subject:  centering around a terminally ill teenage girl and her friends and family.  That said, it is not depressing or morbid.  For the most part it is rather humorous and light-hearted.  The author clearly has talent to deal with this topic in such a fashion.</span>"

This is one of the best books that I have read in a long while. It is a bittersweet story about life and love. Read it and be prepared to laugh, cry, and love these characters....it will leave you wanting more.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3FEBYQSLUCNXQ?ASIN=014242417X	I totally loved it	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I started this book during a flight. Never, but never thought that a misanthrope like me can be so deeply moved by an american novel. I did, I almost wept and I don`t care if these are (or not) behaviors a teenager could display in a situation like that described in the book. The book is nice written and very very touchy. Period.</span>"

This is an absolute work of art. The Fault in Our Stars is by far the best book I have ever read, and I feel blessed to have had the opportunity. This book touched me in a way no other book has and I am utterly amazed by its excellence. Bravo John Green. Bravo.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R495XJVVX4BHQ?ASIN=014242417X	Not for school age, but it's an okay read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The hype is unwarranted.  This was a good &amp; very quick read, and though it's plot &amp; wording are geared toward the reader who is the same age as the main characters (16/17), it should be viewed closely by the parent first.<br/>The language was not excessive, but the tone of the characters towards adults &amp; authority was unnecessary.  Good literature in the past for this age group did not have the need for this tone.  We don't need it today, either.<br/>There is sexual content, and some readers (especially junior high) are too emotionally immature (regardless of what they already know) to be reading this....sexual positions, very casual losing of virginity, etc.  Spoiler: the 2 main characters have ""safe"" sex.  Though I'm glad that the ""safe"" part, i.e. - condom, was specifically mentioned, I don't appreciate how easily these 2 characters found safety in each other on their first sexual experience.  There was no nervousness or really even much mentioning afterward.  I don't advocate this age of kids having sex, but I'm not naive that it happens, and as a parent, I felt betrayed by the authority by how casually these 2 entered into losing their virginity.<br/>It's a decent book, but I really can't figure out why it is so popular.  There are plenty of great books out there!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R30DW9F10JIKAV?ASIN=014242417X	Holt McDougal is the best!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Holt McDougal has to be my favorite author.  If you like this novel, I recommend reading his others like Looking for Alaska and Paper Towns.  Happy reading!</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R56AYYXL2Z88N?ASIN=014242417X	Mixed Review	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">** SPOILER **<br/> After hearing all the hype about The Fault In Our Stars by John Green, I was very excited when I got the chance to read it. Because of all the positive attention this book had been receiving, I set really high standard. However, after reading the book I was left with a lot of mixed feelings. I thought it was a good book for the most part, but I had two major problems that seriously impacted my opinion on the book. Despite my two major problems with the book, I found myself not being able to put the book down because I was interested in what was going to happen next. I would recommend this book to mostly teenage girls, but I would warn them that it does not live up to what it is cracked up to be.<br/><br/>This book was my first John Green book, and I was very impressed. I really liked his style of writing and thought that it was able to drastically boost the success of the book. The way he wrote the book made me want to keep reading, to see what was going to happen next. Green also did a very good job on creating an emotional bond between the book and the readers of the book. I felt like I was in the relationship, feeling the emotions and the heartwarming and heart-wrenching events. I also really enjoyed the actual story line. The love story was so touching because of the two people involved. Augustus and Hazel have gone through a lot and having them so happy was very sentimental. They deserved each other and it was very nice being able to experience the relationship evolve.<br/><br/> On the other hand, I did not like how unrealistic the book was. Augustus and Hazel are teenagers, who haven't known each other for that long. They went to Amsterdam together and Hazel's mom let the two of them walk around a foreign country by themselves. I found that to be very impractical. Also, Hazel and Augustus do not talk nor act like teenagers. I understand they have gone through a lot that the average teenager does not experience, but there actions would not be that different. They both seem way to mature for their age, which made it hard for me (a teenager) to connect with them. I also found this book way to predictable. Two teenagers both experienced cancer, then they magically fall in love, and then one of them dies. The second that Hazel and Augustus met I knew that was going to happen. It was so simple. Because I knew what was going to happen for the majority of the book, it seemed frivolous that I was even reading it. I think I would have been able to enjoy the book a lot more if the ending was more surprising.<br/><br/>In general, I would say that the book was mediocre. I do not understand why it is rated so highly and has won many awards. I did enjoy reading the book, but the ending was way to obvious. Maybe with a different ending, I would have understood all the success with this book. But for me, the book was overrated.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RR9KW2811AOBU?ASIN=014242417X	Heartrendingly Familiar	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book, simply stated, was hauntingly beautiful.  It examines our human tendency to place ourselves at the center of all things with acute accuracy.  It also delves deeply into the reality of borrowed time and morality.  For anyone who has ever lost someone to cancer (I have, I lost my mother) this book speaks its own kind of truth to that pain but further lets the reader explore the opposite side, the affected person's reality.  You don't just get to be the one losing, you get to be the one lost.  It is painful and left me listless and teary-eyed but I fear a better person.  A stronger one.<br/><br/>That is my main reason for recommending this book.  Like Green's other works it not only speaks to that part of your soul you let go dormant as you trudge through your daily life, it sings to it, making you stand under an open sky and contemplate not only the fault in our stars but the fault in ourselves.<br/><br/>Read it and be better for it.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R31N0YGTXRNMF?ASIN=014242417X	Little Fault in This Book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book sucks you in. Truly sucks you in. I started reading and didn't stop until I was done, no matter how much my eyes complained and demanded sleep.<br/><br/>The main criticism of John Green's novels is that his characters seem too smart to be teenagers. They speak eloquently, use big words, and seem philosophical beyond their years. Those people obviously do not know John Green's audience. A great deal of them are active readers and when you are an active reader (of good literature), you tend to have a bigger vocabulary and are often accused of being pretentious. Shouldn't we be encouraging our kids to be verbose and deep? I attended the New Orleans stop of John's tour and he made a fantastic observation that sums up my feelings quite well. When he was asked to name his favorite books, and among them listed The Great Gatsby, the audience (made up mostly of people in their teens and early 20s) erupted into applause and cheers. John mused that the parents in the audience should be proud of having kids that cheer literature, and he is completely correct. This is the audience John writes for--teenagers that wear Great Gatsby shirts, sing songs about science, and that have most of the furniture in their rooms covered with books. The reason they know these big words is because they are written in a book that captures how they feel about love, and life, and video games. And Swedish hip hop.<br/><br/>Cancer isn't eloquent, but that doesn't mean those living with it can't be. They can be angry, and passionate, and scared, all feelings that John's characters experience. As you read, you'll fall in love with this book like one falls asleep--slowly, and then all at once. And then you'll stay asleep. Like...a coma. But a pleasant one. Because the sleep is a metaphor for love, and you'll stay in love with the book...get it?<br/><br/>Just buy the book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R31ONTILUKBLHP?ASIN=014242417X	This (Five) Star (Review) Won't Go Out.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Do you see what I did there? :D<br/><br/>Anyway, this isn't going to be a terribly long review because I don't want to get spoilery.  My thoughts?  The book is a TREMENDOUS work, and I very well may have said that about all of the books that I've read by John, but this just takes the cake.  I laughed, I cried, I wanted to travel internationally, but most of all, I wanted to know these characters in real life.  That's the thing about John Green's characters:  They're just so relatable, and I think Hazel and Augustus are even more so than some of his other.<br/><br/>(I won't lie, though.  I want a friend like Tiny. <a class=""a-link-normal"" href=""/Will-Grayson-Will-Grayson/dp/0142418471"">Will Grayson, Will Grayson</a>)<br/><br/>I bought the nook book on release day (Don't hurt me, Amazon) and I had the novel read in a day's time, but that's not gonna stop me from reading my newly delivered, J-Scribbled, hard cover copy, and you should, too.<br/><br/>DFTBA.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1QEMT9QU207DN?ASIN=014242417X	I Wish I Were More Eloquent So That I Could Describe Exactly How Amazing This Book Is.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I so wish that I could adequately describe just what The Fault in Our Stars did to me. John was certainly right to say the book would make me feel ""All of the feelings!!!!"" because I most certainly did during the 4 hours I sat down in my room to read this novel beginning to end. One minute, I would be sad about Hazel's condition and the next I would forget entirely that she was a girl living with cancer. Other moments I would be engulfed by sadness and crying uncontrollably and suddenly Hazel or Augustus would marvel me with their amazing wit and humor and I would be laughing while crying.<br/><br/>Do not deny yourself the pleasure of reading this book just because the protagonist is a teenager with cancer. I can assure this book is much more about LIVING than it is about dying.<br/><br/>Did I feel sad while reading certain parts? Absolutely. It was impossible not to given the situation and my complete love of the characters. Did my viewpoint on life change after reading this book? It most certainly did. I would go so far as to say that if you read this book and it does not make you evaluate your life, the way you live it, and the people in it than you must have gotten some erroneous copy of the novel.<br/><br/>It has been years since I have read a book that has made such an impact on me as an individual and the way I see my place in the world. I'm not saying that I haven't read good books in the past few years (I mean, I read the Hunger Games trilogy 2 years ago and I love it nearly as much as Harry Potter) but none of the books I've read recently have made me feel quite like this one.<br/><br/>Please do yourself the favor of reading this novel. I have already recommended it to everyone I know so now I recommend it to you, dear stranger of the interweb reading this post. I do hope you listen and are able to gain as much from this novel as I was.</span>"

I didn't stop I just read because I could not put the book down. Another amazing book by John Green as someone who is only 20 I was just a teenager and can relate to many of his books. This is a must read for any nerd fighter and anyone who loves his previous work. If you have never read John Green this is a great book to be introduced to with. When I read it I just kept thinking about Esther the entire time R.I.A</span>"

I couldn't have done with out the cursing (especially the overuse 'G' damn). My 10 year old daughter wants to read it next, but even with this labeled as 'young adult' I'm not sure it's appropriate for all ages due to language. I miss Gus!!!</span>"

John Green has always been my favorite author ever since I heard of him. I dont care how old you are, what gender you are, whatever. I think you should read this book. Especially before the movie comes out in June. I have never seen a bad review or comment about this book. Read it.</span>"

It grabs my attention in ways I couldn't have imagined. To call this book sad is an understatement. We should give  credit where credit is due.

I really enjoyed it. I loved the characters and seeing their struggle and the romance that blossoms between them. The last days of Augustus makes your heart sink. The pre funeral and the last letter of Augustus was the best and most beautiful parts.</span>"

I might as well be dead considering this book just crushed my heart, and took my breath away- no pun intended. Sadly, depression is also cause by finishing a book and not knowing what else to do with your life. But alas I must move on. Okay? Okay.</span>"

I aspire to write as deeply and intelligently as this book is written. It's a very quick read, but I did my best to stretch it out over a week so it wouldn't be over too fast. I only hope the movie lives up to it. I don't know if that's possible.</span>"

Half the time I was balling like a baby. It was wonderfully written, the characters well crafted. I highlighted nearly everything and book-marked so much I doubt it can be called a bookmark. If you know what's good for you and really want to feel something, read this book.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The kind of story you'd expect to be featured alongside other popular love stories such as the Notebook. It is beautiful in all aspects. It is easy (and hard, once you've stopped crying) on the eyes. To put it shortly, the word ""okay"" will never be just ""okay,"" to me any more, and for that I am EXTREMELY grateful to John Green.</span>"

The novel is unexpected, poignant, and thought-provoking. It should make all of us think a little longer on the little blessings of life- like a well-written book.</span>"

It if filled with emotion and happiness, and that's why I think it is so spectacular! Using cancer as the base was a good idea to show what it can do and in your words it shows how to live with it. I cried so much because of Augustus. He was an amazing character filled with life, and hope for Hazel.</span>"

It made me feel good, happy, sad, angry, in love, and just a bit hungry! The believability of the characters is flawless. A love so young innocent and true. A live that aches to your core. That is the kind of love that everyone should desire. Even in Cancervania.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Even though I figured out what the inevitable end to this book was going to be about a third into it, I still enjoyed it immensely.

4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3H27HLNBGO5YR?ASIN=014242417X	Just Okay	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I found this book to be okay. As a thirty something year old mother, I related more to the parents in this book than to the main characters.

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">As a male this isn't something I would typically read, but I'm very impressed with Green's way of capturing the life of a teenage girl who happens to be terminally ill. I loved all the metaphors and philosophical viewpoints; they really allowed me to view the world in a different way!<br/>Hope to see the movie soon!</span>"

Truly relatable in everyday sense and its not just one the cancer stories where two people meet and fall in love or whatever, well it is in a literal sense, but it hits many other things than just that and it makes you think and its fascinating.</span>"

Riveting, touching, and at times, tough to get through but worth every year that may surface.  I picked it up to help me understand the death of my dear cousin at 27 from Lupus, and it did that and so much more. Stop reading this review and get your copy now!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2OMJLG64YMTD2?ASIN=014242417X	Wow	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Reading this book was a journey. It too me through so many emotions.. love, scared, anger.

TFiOS was such a great book and had such a wonderful plot. There's not many books that can make me cry, but this one definitely made me cry. Thank you John Green for such an awesome book, yet horribly sad book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1TYZY9H0DO68K?ASIN=014242417X	loved it	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is the first book I have read by this author and I will definitely be reading more. Very easy to read, yet still quite intellectual in its wording. Overall a great story about two teens with cancer who fall in love. It sounds depressing, and I guess it was in a way, but it was also uplifting. Highly recommended</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R18CTID9G7PA3B?ASIN=014242417X	Fantastic!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was absolutely wonderful. I did not want to put the book down the whole time I read it! You will become emotionally invested in each and every character in the book and it will make you laugh and cry. Sometime you will be laughing and crying at the same time. Don't pass up an opportunity to read this book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R5YZXCN1RQE77?ASIN=014242417X	I want to leave a mark	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I usually do not read books like this. I barely read the blurbs that go with books, so I did not know that I picked up a cancer book till I read it. The twist  of this book is good, the Sharp  conversations  and good writing style make this all work. I just knew it would have an abrupt end. It's all good.  Thank You</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2C2VOTSMC5QCS?ASIN=014242417X	Best book ever	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I knew about 11 pages in that I was reading a masterpiece. Half way through it became one of my favorite books of all time. The writing is so funny, so profound, and so sad. I loved this book. It's now my go to for bday presents because everyone should have the experience of reading ""The Fault in our Stars.""</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1AKF4XPEE09CM?ASIN=014242417X	Doesn't llive up to its billing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book came with rave reviews which had me salivating. I began reading with great eagerness, but found myself slowing down after the third or fourth chapter as it turned into a pretty typical tearjerker about a super-spunky but very sick child. The plot was predictable and the outcome even more so. Not impressed.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R32DP3OFN994ES?ASIN=014242417X	It was a great book.. little depressing but great	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I wasn't sure what to think at first. I heard about it because a movie is being made about it, and I am a movie/book junkie..lol<br/>But I really felt for hazel, she has so much to overcome and yet she has done it. I just wonder about then ending though.. what happened to her? I can only assume and make my ending.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3CJCL1ZBIZNJI?ASIN=014242417X	I must cry	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is just one of the few books I've read that have actually been able to bring tears to my eyes while still feeling triumphant. It was humorously sad and almost makes me hope that I had cancer. Which is stupid I know but that's just how strong this book is. Highly recommend. It leaves its own scar in this world.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1X9QN06ES5QJS?ASIN=014242417X	Fantastic.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">There are some books that are read just to be read; books that never inspire love or grace, simply hold attention and then are forgotten once their covers close. TFIOS is not one of those books. I read the entire thing in about five hours, and by the end, I was absolutly humbled by every gift of life I have. dftba.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R36S5YRYRAA6JT?ASIN=014242417X	A bit of a let down	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">*Note: I debated long and hard whether or not to write/ post a review of this book (mainly because my opinion of it is different from that of the large majority)- it was only after having spoken/ been encouraged by a fellow book blogger that I decided to do so.*<br/><br/>I recently picked this book up after seeing tons of Tweets and blog posts telling me (or, you know, just people in general) that I ""HAD TO READ THIS BOOK BECAUSE IT IS QUITE LITERALLY THE BEST THING SINCE SLICED BREAD- ACTUALLY, YOU KNOW WHAT? SCREW SLICED BREAD, IT'S EVEN BETTER THAN THAT!"" But after reading it, I must admit, that I am a bit disappointed.<br/><br/>I think that my largest complaint about this book was the characters- I understand that Hazel and Augustus have had to mature quicker than their peers because of their circumstances- but seriously? I would consider myself to be a somewhat educated person and I had no idea what they were saying half of the time (admittedly, I did pull out a dictionary here and there and I did reread entire portions of the book multiple times to have a better comprehension of what was going on). At time while listening to their speeches I felt like I was sitting in one of my lectures with one of my pretentious forty + year old (NOTE: not 16 year old) professors droning on and on about something inconsequential that they think is profound.<br/><br/>Also, I really, really, really wanted to cry while reading this book and I didn't (which let me tell you, isn't all that difficult of a task because I cry like it's nobody's business- that Tim Horton's commercial where the Haitian man welcomes his family to Canada? I cried. That Tropicana orange juice commercial where the company provided Alaska with a fake sun during their 24-hour nighttime? I bawled like a baby. And don't get me started on when a family member- especially children- visit competitors on shows like ""Survivor""- I am an absolute puddle and it takes me forever to compose myself). I think that why I didn't cry is because I just knew that someone was going to die (I mean, it is a ""cancer"" book)- perhaps had the synopsis been more mysterious (like the synopsis of ""Little Bee"" by Chris Cleave, ""We don't want to tell you too much about this book. It is a truly special story and we don't want to spoil it. Nevertheless, you need to know something, so we will just say this: It is extremely funny, but the African beach scene is horrific. The story starts there, but the book doesn't. And it's what happens afterward that is most important. Once you have read it, you'll want to tell everyone about it. When you do, please don't tell them what happens either. The magic is in how it unfolds."") what occurred it in would have taken me more by surprise (I would have been less prepared for what was going to happen) and as a result, tears would have trickled down my face, as I had so wanted them to?<br/><br/>That being said, I did love the parts of the book when Augustus and Hazel dropped the facade and just let themselves be teenagers- I just found these parts to be genuine and something that I could truly connect to and understand. This part especially:<br/><br/>  ""He's not that smart,"" I said to Julie.<br/>  ""She's right. It's just that most really good-looking people are stupid, so I exceed expectations.""<br/>  ""Right, it's primarily his hotness,"" I said.<br/>  ""It can be sort of blinding,"" he said.<br/>  ""It actually did blind our friend Isaac,"" I said.<br/>  ""Terrible tragedy, that. But can I help my own deadly beauty?""<br/>  ""You cannot.""<br/>  ""It is my burden, this beautiful face.""<br/>  ""Not to mention your body.""<br/>  ""Seriously, don't get me started on my hot bod. You don't want to see me naked, Dave. Seeing me naked actually took Hazel Grace's breath away,"" he said, nodding toward the oxygen tank.' (pg. 251).<br/><br/>All in all, I wish that this book was more accessible and more suited for the targeted audience- my younger sister (who fits smack-center into the targeted audience) is a HUGE fan of Lurlene McDaniel and her cancers books and I would love to have her read this book, but I know that she, too, would have difficulties trudging through it and that the large majority of it would go over her head (which I don't mean in any offense to her). In all honesty, I am on the fence about whether or not I will pick up another John Green book after having read this.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R14LGC8SVFKGWR?ASIN=014242417X	I don't know how to feel	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was too personal for me. It reminded me a lot of Esther, probably because I saw her dedication at the beginning and couldn't stop thinking about her after that, but I also know what it feels like to be dying. I know what it's like to feel like a grenade and this book just hit me hard. It was very well written, I'm a huge fan of John's style of writing, and it made me feel things the way a good book is supposed to make one feel, yet it only depressed me. I did not put this book down and walk away happy, but I still loved it. I recommend it to everyone! If you don't mind crying a lot.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3T1C5ED89NZIX?ASIN=014242417X	Five Stars is Nowhere NEAR Enough	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">First, you should know that I have never written or posted a book review in my life. But after devouring this book in less than 12 hours, I could not help but share my feelings with the world in the hopes that more people will be able to enjoy the gift that is John Green's ""The Fault in Our Stars"". Hazel Grace Lancaster's says this of her favorite book: ""And then there are books like 'An Imperial Affliction', which you can't tell people about, books so special and rare and yours that advertising your affection feels like a betrayal."" Well. At the risk of such betrayal, I cannot help myself: ""The Fault in Our Stars"" is undeniably one of the best books I have ever read. I was so connected with the characters and the story that at one point while reading, I won't say which point because I would never spoil this for anyone, I had to stop reading. That may sounds strange, but the fact is that I didn't WANT to find out what happened next because I knew how much it would hurt. I feared for these characters in a book who are not in any way real. This book opened what felt like a black hole in the pit of my stomach, and I can honestly say that since finishing it I have not gone one hour without thinking about it some more. As I carried it with me through the hallways of my highschool, I looked at the people around me and thought to myself: ""They don't know. They have NO idea of the things happening to me right now. They don't know what a story they are missing in their lives."" So here it is, plain and simple: do not do yourself the disservice of not reading this book. It will change you and shake you and break your heart.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3MB1WGS6VRHP3?ASIN=014242417X	another fine addition to the John Green library	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">John Green, at his best, spans the range of human emotion, from ecstatic joy to crushing pain, this is the true genius of John Green: to write a weird story that can span that range.  The Fault in Our Stars is about a teenage girl with terminal cancer who falls in love with someone, in a story about death, the fragility of human life, and the ability to capture our memories forever.  Of course, there are weird moments along the way, and a few laughs.<br/><br/>The reason this is a 4 star instead of a 5 star book is because the joy and witty humor John displays at his best is somewhat missing from this novel.  This is not a light hearted novel.  It hits hard and is raw, filled with emotions and the heaviness of the questions it asks.  A must read for teenagers looking for a deep novel.</span>"

4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3MSAYV6CN1HR9?ASIN=014242417X	amazing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book features the honest life of two teens with cancer an there is literally no better way of describing it then reading the book yourself! I would recommend reading the book before watching the movie. The movie was a little vague in some spots and reading the book first would result in you understanding more</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3SLX8QH1J45JY?ASIN=014242417X	What a delightful book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The protagonists are a bit too cutesy in their dialogue, but I'll take my heroes intelligent over dumbed-down any day. Everyone in this book is portrayed just so realistically, and flawed. I laughed out loud so many times, especially in discussions of the Literal Heart of Jesus.  Charmingly, heart-stompingly good.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Sensitive and funny and sweet and insightful and sad and thoughtful -- and fabulous!!  I read it on my kindle but bought the hardcover so I'd have it to read bits and pieces of whenever I want to which seems to be often.

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R19COHMMFIBZXD?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I had this book recommended to me by a friend and I have to say that I was initially put off by what is a very dark subject but I am so glad that I went ahead and read it. Well written and sensitively portrayed, the story is a life affirming gem but, be warned, you will need to keep a box of tissues close at hand.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3P6UT6UQTW4OZ?ASIN=014242417X	No way	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The beginning to middle of the book is very slow. I had heard that this was a tragic book but I just couldn't get to it i was so bored. The characters just talk about symbolism and it made me so uninterested by the plot. I actually put the book down and did not finish it which was completely unlike me in any way.</span>"

In school they give us books to read that has no emotion or a deeper level of thought put into it.  I only wish that these are the kind of novels we are required to read.  I will definitely be reading this book again.</span>"

I would review further but I don't think it's necessary. Buy the book and enjoy.</span>"

It had some similarities, the same story in some ways, but... so much more. I Love Hazel, I love Gus, two characters that might at any point slip off the page and live in our world (cancer free!!).</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1X31WA5VU0BN?ASIN=014242417X	Praise	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">A beautifully written book about life, death, and love.

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3LAZKXBZX4BUH?ASIN=014242417X	It's a rare occurrence	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">That a book makes me both laugh out loud and cry my eyeballs out over the space of a couple hundred pages.  This book did just that, on more occasions than one.  It hurt to read sometimes, but what good book doesn't?  I love John Green's work, so I had high expectations for this book.<br/>It didn't disappoint.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R9H7VJGLTH2MO?ASIN=014242417X	The Best Book in the World	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I want to start out by saying this is an amazing book. I read it all in one sitting just as most people do with this book and I loved the humor and tragedy. It is so realistic and can give you sort of a feel of what ""Cancer Kids"" are going through. I'm beginning another John Green book, Looking for Alaska, now!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R369AEX650U2F5?ASIN=014242417X	Best book I've read this year	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is amazing. There is comedy and tragedy. Even though I cried so much, I still love this book. John Green is an amazing writer, on one page, there can be a wise quote, but there are those other pages where you find something that will make you laugh so hard. This is one of my all time favourite books.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R7L0KQCME3TDJ?ASIN=014242417X	Heart wrenching and very well written	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I was hooked from page one. This story was humorous and horribly sad. It was real. No sugar coating just real tragic life. I hope the film does the book justice because this story was phenomenal.

I read the entire book in one afternoon because I couldn't put it down! And I was a crying, laughing idiot through most of the second half. It's not just a sad cancer story, though. These characters are just amazing and the story is so well written.<br/><br/>This book definitely lives up to the hype.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2HGAN9JT6Y6FC?ASIN=014242417X	A book that will stay with you.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I CRIED through much of this book and at times wanted to  throw it at the ground and run from it. A good book leaves you thinking because you feel it. This book is sobering yet holds a whimsical love story. You feel their desperation and share in that anxiety, but understand that everything comes to an end.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3GLHKSZWUJ6B1?ASIN=014242417X	Unfortunately a book about young cancer patients cannot help being depressing and I was glad when I finished the book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Although insightful, it was hard to believe that teenagers would have the extensive vocabulary used in this book. Also, I was put off by the excessively vulgar language used by the author. Unfortunately a book about young cancer patients cannot help being depressing and I was glad when I finished the book.</span>"

Marvellous, I am a fan,</span>"

It broke me into pieces and I think it may take awhile for me to get over this book. I seriously have never cried so much while reading.

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2PEUYC4P8FWGN?ASIN=014242417X	Amazingly Awesome Crys	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">At first I read it up until Hazel didn't like V for Vendetta, because who doesn't like V for Vendetta??? It's a classic movie that is so not a dude film.<br/>It took me a couple of days to get over that, but I read the rest in a night and... oh my god, I was a wreck. Thank you, John Green, for all the feels.</span>"

Green is a brilliant and intelligent writer. I cannot wait to buy and read more of hi  beautiful words. Thank you, Green, for being so real about cancer , we all like to bury the harsh realities of the disease, but i think it is better to reveal them.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3QVOBSCKO2MIU?ASIN=014242417X	Heartbreaking and heartwarming	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I fell in love with Hazel Grace and Augustus and I fell hard once I came to the realization that I was undeniably going to get hurt. It was an amazing story on life, love, pain and joy. I cried like a little girl and yet felt so hopeful by the end of the book and Augustus last words. Absolutely loved it!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3CN4FSSDPT4SP?ASIN=014242417X	Wanted to love it	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars. I wanted to love this book considering all friends' reviews and given the fact that I just recently lost someone to cancer. Characters were likable enough but I couldn't buy into the way these two spoke. Just don't think teens, smart or genius, would speak to one another this way.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3SBRQOOBQ3OSM?ASIN=014242417X	Still Thinking	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I find myself reading reviews of THE FAULT IN OUR STARS online, but while I enjoyed that book (I still need to reread it again),I can't help but wander over to reviews of LOOKING FOR ALASKA yearning to reread it for the 5th time.  I think the major difference was that I felt like LOOKING FOR ALASKA was mine, something I found and could cherish and analyze personally, while THE FAULT IN OUR STARS had to be shared, especially with those intimately linked to cancer (unlike myself).  Possibly it was the hype that made TFIOS not live up to my expectations, but I think that it was also missing something John Green-esque.  Something that questioned life and how we live it and how it will be when life ends.  I LOVE John Green and I think TFIOS for most was just what they were looking for, but for me it lacked a sense of relate-bility.  Why is it that when Augustus dies of cancer, Hazel (also with cancer) doesn't question death or life after death, as Miles does of Alaska in Looking for Alaska? Possibly because she too faces the same fate.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R36J41LRGNUAM3?ASIN=014242417X	a story of love and heartache	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">How a man can so easily grasp a teenage girls point of view amazes me, let alone a teenage girl dying of cancer.  The story flows seamlessly and more quickly than I expected, and maybe more quickly than I wanted. His descriptions of their interactions made you fall in love right along with them...bravo!</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RQUJ0D33CKXU3?ASIN=014242417X	Lives Up to the Hype	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I really enjoyed this book. It was sad, I'll give it that, but I think given the content is expected. I am not much of a crier, but there were several times when I teared up, especially near the end. All that aside, I think the book makes some valid points and tackles a pretty touchy subject with class.</span>"

It's sad like any cancer story, but it's nothing you'd ever expect and more than you could ask for. Hopeful, but not the way you think. It's the kind of book that doesn't necessarily make you believe in love or God, but it makes you want to believe in both.</span>"

So wrong! Green writes dialog so well, and though there are tough parts - you will find yourself laughing out loud more than crying.</span>"

The characters were so easy to fall in love with and relate to, even as a 35 yr old (maybe because I teach middle school.)

Everyone on Tumblr talks about this book and say how good it is and I wanted to try it and I got a gift card from Christmas to amazon so I decided, why not? It also got here super fast. So thanks.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R19OC5B4QH1HL?ASIN=014242417X	Great moving powerful	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This was a great moving and powerful story. It's about love and what you do for the person you love. John Green did a great job with his characters of Gus and Hazel. Cancer is a horrible illness and we hope to find a cure but till then there is hope and love and that is what this book has.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R194VLWIXO2CIB?ASIN=014242417X	Absolutely beautiful	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">When I first saw this book, I thought it would be a cliche teen romance.

John Green has the ability to make his reader both fall in love with the characters and be heartbroken by them (especially when they die). I enjoy his writing style very much as it is fresh, witty, and real. This story was not my favorite of his but I enjoyed it nonetheless.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R38ZH1DC1X3O67?ASIN=014242417X	What did I get myself into?	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The epic and brutal honestly of this book brought me to tears. It made me feel insignificant and unworthy of this life given to me, though it was in the best way. That doesn't make sense to anyone who has not read it, but complete and utter sense to those who have. Bravo, Mr. Green, bravo.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R269Z6R65H0KC1?ASIN=014242417X	Still crying	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Possibly not the best book to read after recently losing a loved one...however, it does give you the opportunity to let out the emotions you have been holding in since it happened as you try to participate in normal society. This book is so full of emotion, and yes, it demands to be felt.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R21TP06UW4372Y?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing, I couldn't put the book down.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I am speechless. Every word in this book is pure perfection.

The characters are enthralling and the story leaves you in a perfect place, yet still wanting more. This is the kind of book I could read over and over just to live in a world for a short time where these characters actually do exist.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1ZVB98PSXLS9R?ASIN=014242417X	Best book ever	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">My grandma died of cancer and I really wish she could've lived long enough to read this book. She was an amazing woman and I miss her everyday. This book made me feel like I knew a little piece of what she was going through. I hope the author writes many more books like this. Amazing job</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1PYQ2D4T9LSAB?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in the Fault in Our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I didn't give this a 5 star rating because of some parts of the book.  I can't tell you exactly why because I'll be giving the book away.  The characters are very likable, the dialogue is incredible.  I would say read this and draw you're own conclusions.  It's a quick read and worth it.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R14H4THQLG1GYH?ASIN=014242417X	Enjoyable YA fiction	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">If the writers from 10 Things I Hate About You, Mean Girls, and Juno got together to write a cancer group love story, this might be the result. I enjoyed the snarky humor and I look forward to the movie, but I didn't find it as groundbreaking and awesome as some other people clearly do.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R5C8M1HTTD03T?ASIN=014242417X	A truly wonderful book!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Mr. Green has captured the emotional essence of this true story, and I fell in love with all the characters.  How could I not be moved?

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RY0RYHE4LAC59?ASIN=014242417X	Have tissues nearby, with some backup tissues next to those...

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R31D576T9YI51V?ASIN=014242417X	John Green is the worst human being in the world	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Why on earth would anyone write about two teenagers with cancer who fall in love? Green reduced me to a hopeless shell of emotion on multiple occasions over the span of the one day it took me to read the final 47% of this book. I have never in my life felt so incapacitated in my life.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R96XHCMJ58B25?ASIN=014242417X	Good read, difficult subject	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This story hooked me from the beginning. It deals with a difficult subject- kids having cáncer- but the characters and dialog are very real, not sentimental.

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R9RY2AVRP5IBD?ASIN=014242417X	Not as good as others in the genre, but pretty good	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">At first, I did not know what to think of this book. My original opinion based on the first 50 pages or so was ""eh"". In fact, when I described what I had read so far to a co-worker (whose teenage daughter raved about this book) she said, ""Sounds cheesy."" And to be completely honest, she was right. But I kept reading anyway, and ignored the temptation to give up on the book and watch the movie instead.<br/><br/>Now that I've finished the book, I can say with all sorts of authority that I do not have that The Fault In Our Stars is one of those books that gets better after you read it. Don't give up on the book.<br/><br/>With that being said, do I think this book is worth the hype it gets? Nope. Not at all. I still think it's overrated. Horribly overrated, actually. As far as books in this genre go, I still say that Wendy Wunder's The Probability of Miracles (read the review here) trumps The Fault in Our Stars. If this were a cage match, Wunder's book would be taking home the gold belt in the categories of readability, witty banter between characters, and swoon worthiness.<br/><br/>So what made me drop TFIOS down a few notches? Frankly, the wordiness. I like that Gus and Hazel bonded over a book. For a reader, that's a win. Unfortunately, there were many book quotes and long excerpts in the TFIOS that could have been cut without ever affecting the plot. I found myself skimming through those parts because they just felt too heavy and borderline pretentious. I'm even going to go out on a limb and say the younger teenage readers that are fangirling over this book didn't even fully understand the role of those sections or their intended meanings. Not because teenage readers aren't smart enough to figure it out (they are), but because they subconsciously realized how wordy and unnecessary those lines were, and never spent the time to try to chew through the fat to find the purpose.<br/><br/>I had a few more issues with this book that are pretty hard for me to overcome as well. The time span of this book is not terribly long. So when I find the two characters professing their love for another in that matter of days, I've got problems. Even if these are kids that fall into love as often as I change shoes, it still made me roll my eyes. Especially since Hazel gives off the impression of being more mature and wiser than her young age should allow for. Maybe this was just me, but it seriously bothered me.<br/><br/>Now, what did keep this book from the pits of Tartarus was Gus and the blind mutual friend. Everyone talks about Hazel, but I'm not sure if these guys get enough credit. Maybe they do. Hazel was witty at times, but I feel like she plays a supporting role to Gus's show-stopping performance. You better have tissues for the final 50 pages of this book. Gus will steal your heart. Their mutual friend is equally important in my opinion. A great deal of attention is spent on Hazel and Gus, but there was a lot of good lessons and powerful moments for the friend. He deserves more credit.<br/><br/>Overall, I'm a bit torn by this book. I think it's more powerful after you read it-- one of those books that lingers for a bit so you can soak it all in. But, I don't think it's the best in the genre. If you find yourself disagreeing with me, check out Wendy Wunder's The Probability of Miracles. You might change your opinion.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3SSE2KOJZXI5M?ASIN=014242417X	School Book Review	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">a.I, personally selected the text because The Fault In Our Stars has been a reoccurring conversation both as a film, and as a novel. I have seen the movie, and although I did not have much interest, I wanted to compare the two forms of the Fault In Our Stars, and see how the original novel can be visualized and produced to make a popular movie. From the influence of my parents, my friends, my neighbors, anyone, they have all had experience of how the movie differs from the novel. They all talk about how the book is better than the movie or if the movie was better than the book, but I have never come down to the conclusion of making that preference. With that being said, prior to reading The Fault In Our Stars, I had heard and analyzed that this novel shows the reality and struggles of health. Most of the people who watched this movie had emotions that fluctuate from tears to happiness, and I wanted to show those emotions in both watching the movie and reading the book.<br/><br/>b.I would recommend The Fault In Our Stars to another high school reader because I have found that this book shows the complications of love between Hazel and Augustus because of their cancer. Especially in high school, people will start to have relationship complications, as well as changes with their social life. As they will find in The Fault In Our Stars, both Hazel and Augustus have relationship complications to go along with their cancer struggles. High school students could make many connections to the book, get advice from the book, as well as finding out themselves. I would recommend The Fault In Our Stars to students in high school because they could see how Hazel shows what it is like to know your dying, as well as showing what it is like to lose someone you love. High school students could  use The Fault In Our Stars as a reference to their own personal lives, and they could recognize the reality of sickness and relationships.<br/><br/>The Fault In Our Stars both met, and failed to meet my expectations while reading, because there is a great plot and storyline, but I would have liked to have read more about the character's health struggles. First off, the characters and their personalities matched what John Green strived to be, as well as their problems, solutions, and their relations. What I am missing from this book is more of a description of, specifically, Hazel and Augustus’s health complications. What makes The Fault In Our Stars stand out from other opposing romantic/ drama book is that there is a twist and a similarity between the two main characters; that they have cancer. I would have like to read more about their cancer and the effects of their condition, instead of just the basic and most important facts in their lives. With that being said, I still enjoyed reading the book because it includes a reality and normality in some peoples lives, which has brought out emotions in many readers and fans of The Fault In Our Stars</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RQQSLJ88EC716?ASIN=014242417X	pretentious and over-hyped	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">SPOILERS<br/><br/>I hesitated to write something negative about this book because 1) it seems like it's really popular and 2) it's about cancer, which is a serious topic and is unfortunately very real for a great number of people. But just because the main characters are teenage cancer patients doesn't make them any less of fictional constructs than they are and thus open to just as much criticism as any other fictional characters. I wouldn't talk like this about real people. But Hazel and Gus are not real. I get that in the vicarious experience of different lives that are facilitated to us by reading novels, we need to perceive fictional characters as if they were real people in order to empathize with them. And this novel's topic makes it very hard not to empathize with the main characters. And yet, I honestly didn't care for either of them. The Fault in Our Stars just didn't work for me.<br/><br/>Part of it is probably due to the fact that I'm too old for it (although I don't feel too old for some children's books). But honestly, ten years ago, I would probably consider the Ceci n'est pas une pipe reference awesome because it was at that time that I first discovered Magritte. I might've even liked the magical hotel in Amsterdam that has rooms named after philosophers and that just happens to be the very same place the existentially challenged teenagers check in. I might have even, on some level, enjoyed the insane corniness of a random assortment of tourists applauding the kissing couple in the Anne Frank house. I might have even accepted the fact that the briefly happy couple enjoys a multi-meal super posh dinner without either of them barfing (although Hazel feels like it, but doesn't just because she's, you know, fictional). But I just didn't and I couldn't. I don't know what's wrong with me, I suppose I'm just too cynical for this or whatever (I'll get to that later). This book felt contrived and pretentious.<br/><br/>Gus is an insufferable character and I certainly didn't regret his death. The unsmoked cigarette schtick was unbearably stupid and so was the subversion thereof, that low moment wherein Gus somehow appears at a remote gas station so he can be reduced to a pitiful shadow of his former self and Hazel can remark on it and we can all pause and reflect on the fact that cancer patients sooner or later become wretched pitiable creatures. Gus is lucikly soon revived to enjoy his ""last best day,"" so his wretchedness is short-lived. The character of Gus just didn't really come alive for me - he seemed a bit too much. His pretentiousness and handsomeness were remarked upon repeatedly, but I felt like it maybe went a bit over the top. How pretentious can you get? How many one liners can you produce in a single sentence? How well defined can the muscles of a crippled, home-bound boy be, really? Hazel's point of view. Right. Also, what an overused cliché with the sisters clueless about Gus and how to treat him - I mean, baby talk?<br/><br/>Also, Hazel and Gus are unlucky to have cancer but they sure won the parents lottery. Their parents love not only them but amazingly, each other, and seem to be doing great in terms of coping with their kid's disease. They don't have a nervous breakdown or resort to alcoholism or adultery, instead, they seem pretty awesome. Of course, there's Van Houten to serve as the epitome of a badly coping parent and well, does he cope badly. In exchange, the other parents get a free pass to be perfect. This is not their story, though. This is Hazel's story. In case you didn't notice, the author reminds you by adding ""or whatever"" at the end of every fifth sentence in an attempt to reiterate that this story is told by a teenager or whatever.<br/><br/>I liked some parts of this book, but then I would get to a passage that would just throw me off. For instance, these are some quotes from our narrator, Hazel: ""We fell asleep like that, a quantum entanglement of tubes and bodies."" Now, I'm sure that this sentence is being reblogged on Tumblr as I type, probably accompanied by a beautifully tragic blurry photograph, but that won't stop me from saying that it's a stupid phrase. Because it doesn't make sense and it's a weak metaphor. I can imagine that a sixteen-year-old who once heard the phrase and focused on ""entanglement"" with a vague idea about the ""quantum"" part might very well use it just like it's used - so maybe Green is just this good and is somehow making fun of these hipster quotes. However, I'm not sure I can quite make the case for this quote: ""...and then he broke down, just for one moment, his sob roaring impotent like a clap of thunder unaccompanied by lightning, the terrible ferocity that amateurs in the field of suffering might mistake for weakness."" This is just too much for me, it's just so disingenuous, so purple prose, so begging to be quoted -- or whatever.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RJCYN0LFUE0FC?ASIN=014242417X	Worth ever tear it took to finish this amazing novel.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I absolutely loved this book. Augustus is by far one of my favorite male characters of the books I've read this year. He is such a solid character that it pained me to get through the last five chapters of this book. I knew what was going to happen, since I watched the movie prior. I was actually too afraid to read the book because I didn't want to cry. But, I decided to read it none-the-less.<br/><br/>Hazel goes through Hell. She is diagnosed with cancer and battles it throughout the novel. Then she meets Gus and things seem to look up for her. She falls in love and it's beautiful. The love she and Gus share if a flawless kind of love that we all hope to find one day in this crazy world. We all want a little piece of infinity. Sadly, her love story doesn't run on like we all want our love stories to run. Her's is short-lived. And not because of a break-up but because of a death. Which I think is the hardest part. We all know that sooner or later our loved one's will pass, it's inevitable. But, reading that the love of a teen's life passes away at such a young age is devastating.<br/><br/>I have no idea how I would react if I was in Hazel's shoes. I'd be completely lost without my husband. I wouldn't go through the motions like she did. I'd be a lot more depressed and angrier. But she managed 'well' for someone going through this tragedy of love and loss. She handled it like she was an adult.<br/><br/>I cried the last five chapters, I'd be lying if I said I didn't. These two became a part of my day. I'd read their story and go about my daily routine. And now their story has ended and it feels like a part of me is missing. It was a pleasure to enjoy a little infinity while reading this amazing novel. And I am hopeful to read other John Green novels, even though I strongly suspect that they will all make me cry in the end.</span>"
1.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2Y7VIQE76AKA4?ASIN=014242417X	Entertaining and Enjoyable Romance	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">John Green’s young adult best-seller, The Fault in Our Stars, is an easy to read and heartfelt novel that reaches readers through a lightness of prose and personalities of characters, which allow readers to forget about the devastating seriousness of the subject matter. Thus, a story, which involves teenagers struggling with terminal cancer, develops into more of a light romance than the tragedy.<br/><br/>The characters of Augustus Waters and Hazel Lancaster, are unexpectedly portrayed as hopeful, happy, and inspiring. They possess a maturity and resilience as beyond their years as they face challenges, which earn them respect in the eyes of the reader. They contemplate some of life’s most challenging concepts: love, life, what is left behind in death, with a sort of fearlessness that the reader admires. Green connects the teen’s personalities and interests in society and culture with their struggles to make them relevant.<br/><br/>Gus and Hazel use literature, video games, and art as methods of escape and means of achieving greater understanding of what is happening to them and why. The reader sees the characters have a special regard for the arts, because unlike most people, they look for good and cherish every moment. The reader absorbs their enjoyment when they discuss their favorite author or play Max Payne, their favorite video game, together. They use the arts to experience joy, analyze their place in the universe,  and escape the lives they lead. Gus and Hazel inspire the reader to live fully, learn, and appreciate the things life has to offer. Green's lesson to his reader: No matter the circumstance, people can choose to see beauty in the world.<br/><br/>The subject matter of the text suggests a depressing and unreadable story. Instead, the author shows that even when the worst outcomes are possible, people can thrive if they let in the love, happiness, and beauty life has to offer. If these two teenagers can make the best of their situation, so can we. Augustus and Hazel choose to remain positive, and together they are able to achieve lives that have meaning.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R14APVTD7729I6?ASIN=014242417X	Dancing in the face of the universe	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">So many young adult romances these days are so serious and gloomy that it's refreshing when one comes along that is full of spirit and humor. And that's ironic in this case because the two main characters of The Fault in Our Stars have good reason to be gloomy. One has terminal cancer, and the other had his leg amputated in order to remove his cancer. Their early encounters with near-death has given Hazel Grace and Augustus Waters a jaded view on life, which shows in their witty humor. These kids aren't heroes or fighters, though that's what everyone calls them. They just happen to be dying from an anomaly of their bodies. Yet they learn how to enjoy the small things and to find love, which is important. This story, despite its subject matter, had me laughing for most of it. When it gets to the final stretch, when things grow predictably gloomy, I grew bored, but I can see the appeal to the many readers who have fallen in love with John Green's tale.<br/><br/>The first two-thirds of this book are fantastic. Hazel is an intelligent, hilarious narrator, and the dialogues between her and Gus are full of energy and wit. Green has the courage to write teenage characters who are smart when so many other teenage characters in YA fiction try not to be so smart. The dialogue, I'll admit, is not entirely believable, but what matters is that the dialogue is lots of fun. It isn't aiming to be real. It's very much like Diablo Cody's Juno, another teenager who spoke with too much wit, but without which the movie wouldn't have been so fantastic. I laughed out loud a lot while reading this book, and it's not often a book allows me to do that.<br/><br/>But, of course, this is a book about cancer, and most any book about cancer has a part where you will cry. You will cry because the person with cancer dies, or you will cry because they overcome all odds and survive. Either way, there is that serious moment when things look bad, or when you just don't know what will happen, and that's no different for this book. The problem is, the book gets really dull. The last third loses much of its energy, inevitably, and while it never gets bad, Green does a lot of philosophical explaining, and none of it is particularly mind-blowing stuff. This last third of the book, more than the rest, is a meditation on life, on the fact that everyone is a part of this world for a brief amount of time, but some people are on it for an even briefer amount of time. The book grasps at an over-reaching philosophy on life's grand meaning, and ends up finding a new way to say something not all that new.<br/><br/>Not that I mean to bring a gloomy note to the end of my review. John Green is clearly a talented and very imaginative writer. What makes The Fault in Our Stars so enjoyable is that its sole mission is not to elevate these cancer kids to the status of heroes. The book's mission is to make them human, make them real, and make them into people you wouldn't mind having as a friend. These aren't gloomy kids seeking pity, or pitying themselves (not all the time, but everyone does that now and then). These are kids trying to enjoy life, to make it as normal as possible, which means getting frustrated with people who treat them like little saints. Despite its dances with death, The Fault in Our Stars has a rebellious joy for life, dancing in the face of the universe.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RZIRCMF6TUWHT?ASIN=014242417X	LOVED- The author grabbed my attention and did a phenomenal job in character development and seducing me into the story!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I have had this book on my To Read list for months and, in fact, checked it out of the library once before and returned it un-read. I didn't even flip the cover, but after my last few book selections being disappointing, I put my faith in GoodReads reviews.<br/><br/>I started this book on a flight this afternoon and just finished it after getting home. Once I started, I was hooked and devoured it in a matter of hours.<br/><br/>I don't know that I will be able to fully describe my enjoyment, but will do my best. The author grabbed my attention and did a phenomenal job in character development and seducing me into the story. His writing is addictive, unpredictable (at least to me!) and rounded. The story was so well balanced that I was engaged throughout the storyline, and my heartstrings were tugged in unexpected ways. This story was one I anticipate will live within me, much like Catcher in the Rye did. It's just a beautifully crafted story of adolescent growth, maturity, love, reality, and grasp for understanding the incomprehensible.<br/><br/>I sit here with red eyes and an aching heart, but grateful that authors like John Green are able to share their gifts. His creativity and passion is evident, and a reminder that in our technology driven world where anyone can author a blog or self publish, that there can be night and day differences between an author and an artist. John Green, I consider this book a masterpiece.<br/><br/>5 stars. I would (er, will!) recommend this to everyone.<br/><br/>Warning: when you start getting around the 75% mark, grab tissues. I was thankful I got there in the privacy of my own home or I would have turned some heads on the plane. Extra concealer may be required tomorrow for my red eyes (and sleep deprivation staying up to finish... waiting was simply not an option!).<br/><br/>UPDATE: Saw the movie. Loved the movie. Felt the movie did the book justice! But read the book first!</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1UO1PINOX2DKX?ASIN=014242417X	JOHN GREE, YOU ARE NOW MY FAVORITE PERSON	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">OMG The Fault in Out Stars has got to be one of the best novels I've ever read. Like ever.<br/>Sorry, I had to. I'm fan-girling right now.<br/>It's not so much a cancer book as I first assumed it to be. I thought this novel would be about how Hazel, the main protagonist, handles death and how she battles cancer, and how she thinks super deep about the meaning of life or whatever.<br/>  However, I was indefinitely wrong.<br/>  Instead, I find myself amidst a novel with a humor to tragedy ratio of 1:1. (BTW I kind of just quoted the book. You didn't think I was that good at applying math to real life, did you?) This novel is poignant, but also feisty, like a real person.<br/>  Hazel isn't that much the main character, or, at the very least, she isn't the real one making all the smart remarks and stringing a bunch of fancy words that I cannot seem to understand together. She IS the narrator, yet she's more of the eyes than the mind to the reader. It's Augustus (The guy. Yes. There is a guy.) and a made-up book and author (In this novel, the REAL author refers to a made-up book and author a lot.)  that gives us insight to how death works, and what our purpose on Earth is. Hazel is more of the window covering an antique, so that we have someplace to look in on, yet Augustus is the guide, telling us what we are actually looking at, and how everything works.<br/>  (I swear, I only just read 73 pages and I can already sense my English improving. I wonder what will happen when I read the rest of the book. Seventy-three pages down, only two hundred forty to go.)<br/>  Now, I won't spoil anything, or give the ending away (Yeah, I peeked at the end. It was inadvertent, I swear!) but what a sad, tragic ending. Of course, I kind of surmised the ending, anyway, since this is a realistic piece of work. There are rarely happy endings in reality, so there is no happy ending in this made-up world.<br/>  This novel is so unconventional, as are the characters. Apparently, the teenagers share ""a disdain for the conventional"", and both have an ""acerbic wit"". The language is slightly difficult, but it just makes the novel even more appealing. I mean, what other novel you know uses phrases like: ""Our triumphantly digitized contemporaneity""? (This phrase was referring to how the younger generation is obsessed with technology.) Another phrase: ""Barnacles on the container ship of consciousness"". (This one was referring to how Hazel thinks EVERYTHING is a side effect of dying. This particular phrase is referring to how Hazel says everyone is normal, and how we're all just annoying pests on a boat of consciousness.) If you don't get it, then you either don't understand it, or you haven't read the book yet. For me, it's more the former rather than the latter.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R21XTNHJ555NCM?ASIN=014242417X	Fuzzbucket2004	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This was possibly one of the best books I've ever read. That's saying alot, since I've read some really good book in my ten whole years. (Yes, I am ten. Don't judge me.)<br/><br/>  Anywho, Th Fault in Our Stars is basically about this girl who has cancer. The girl (who's name is Hazel Grace Lancaster) meets a cancer survivor named Augustus Waters. Cleshé? I think not!! Well, there's also  boy named Issac who's having his freaking eyeballs cut out of his head. But more on him later.<br/>  So Hazel and Augustus start to have a bumpy friend/more than friend relationship. Then, Hazel lands in the ICU, and that's where things between the two start getting EVEN MORE BUMPY. He's in love with her, she thinks of herself as grenade. *sigh* Oh, Hazel. The rest? You'll have to find out for yourself 'cause I've already given away too many spoilers. ;)<br/>  I suppose the book is also slightly medically educational, as well. About cancer and other deadly diseases.<br/>  Really, I think that this book deserves like, the Nobel Peace Prize. (And yes, I know that book can't receive privelages like that, but a child can dream!) So, finally, here's an up close and personal with all the charcters:<br/><br/>Hazel: (Hazel Grace Lancaster) Lung tumor that turned into cancer. Diagnosed when thirteen. 17yrs; has already gotten GED, and now taking classes at NCC. (or something like that.)<br/><br/>Gus: (Augustus Waters) Leg cancer (that's what I like to call it) which follwed in, how do you say, the Amputation of The Leg. Diagnosed when sixteen. 17yrs; has not gotten GED, and so is still in highschool.<br/><br/>Issac: Eyeball cancer which led to the Cutting of The Eyeballs Out of The Face. Diagnosed when UNCLEAR. 17yrs; has not gotten GED, and so is still in highschool.<br/><br/>SAVE THE FUZZBUCKETS!!! DON't JUDGE ME!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3A75439Y0QCLT?ASIN=014242417X	Made me cry against my will	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I bought this book ages ago, probably around Christmas time when it was on sale because I'm a big fan of buying things on sale. I hadn't actually intended  to read it now, but when I saw that J. Hooligan from Platypire Reviews was reading it, I figured why not. We were supposed to buddy read, but Joood betrayed me and finished the book before I was even a quarter of the way in. She told me not to read it, it was a horrible idea, but I was already committed.<br/><br/>TFioS has been out long enough that you surely already know it's a tear jerker. Going in I was pretty sure I'd be able to stand strong and not shed a single tear because I'm kind of heartless sometimes. I was wrong. Tears were shed on two occasions. If you haven't read TFioS yet, have tissues handy, you'll need them.<br/><br/>My initial feelings about this book were that it was kind of depressing and unrealistic, two kids with cancer falling in love etc, I mean what are the chances, but then I started to really think about it, and it really does make a certain amount of sense. I could feel the pointlessness of trying to associate with ""normals"" on a regular basis. While they're understanding, they can't really understand what life with cancer is like so they're constantly trying not to upset you, but sometimes people trying not to upset you can be incredibly upsetting all on it's own. I enjoyed the sarcastic banter between the characters, the way they were able to joke about their cancer. It was clearly the way they coped with their crummy situation and it's how I think I would try to cope if I found myself in their shoes.<br/><br/>I got really excited when they got to Amsterdam because I've been there. Most of the things they mentioned (canal cruise, Anne Frank Huis, Rijksmuseum) I've seen so I could picture it easily and it was awesome for me. The descriptions of Amsterdam were spot on and made me want to go back so badly. I legit want to run away from home to visit Amsterdam again, right now because of this book.<br/><br/>The thing I hated about this book (but also loved because it inspired such a strong desire in me) is that An Imperial Affliction doesn't exist! I wanted to buy a copy of it, and read it, and see what Hazel saw in the story, but I can't!!! John Green is currently on my sh*t list for making me want a book that doesn't exist so badly.<br/><br/>Overall I give TFioS 5 out of 5 stars and would recommend it to just about everybody.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3EQO1EKJ7NOOE?ASIN=014242417X	While the story COULD have been EPIC it was somehow dull due the WAY too philosophical view both main characters ...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">NOT what I expected. While the story COULD have been EPIC it was somehow dull due the WAY too philosophical view both main characters had it also felt ABSOLUTELY pointless.<br/><br/>Hazel and Augustus meet in a therapy group. Hazel is struggling with cancer, she knows she isn't going to make it but the treatment she is getting now somehow prolongs the ending giving her a bit more time (while don't really knowing what ""a bit"" means). She is sick, has to have oxygen tank with her at all times and she is quite detached from the lives around her (almost) except for her parents. Meeting Augustus and becoming fast friends is NOT what she was expecting. Yet it happens nevertheless.<br/><br/>Augustus comes to the group for the sake of his friend Isaac who will be losing his sight in the near future. Augustus had his ""brush"" with cancer. Not long ago his right leg was amputated. As Hazel reminds him of his previous girlfriend she strikes his interest but that's the only resemblance. They both enjoy each other's company and want to be with each other yet Hazel is reluctant as it's obvious to her she will have to leave him behind. Probably shattered if their relationship would develop and he would care for her. Yet somewhere along the way she can't really hold on to her resolve as she is falling for him as much as he falls for her.<br/><br/>They have a ""grand"" time together. Even with the sickness and difficulties their friendship was sweet, innocent and yet mature beyond their years. They might be teenagers (about 17 years old) yet what they went through and their unique selves makes them much more than that. It was amazing seeing how much they got out of life and situations that weren't so ""good"" yet their company together and how they interpreted things made it all okay somehow.<br/><br/>I'm going to say something horrible - at a certain part of this book I felt like I was dying. Dying with Hazel, being buried in the mumble jumble of Hazel's thoughts that are SO philosophical I was bored to tears. This book could have been SO GOOD, and yet it was so NOT what I wanted it to be. It was brave and unique in the fact that it dealt with cancer as I never imagined possible, including being FUNNY! A Laugh Out Loud Funny! Yet for me, with all the philosophical talk of Hazel and Augustus - the emotional part, the part that has heart and soul of an individual was totally and absolutely lost to me.<br/><br/>There was something totally futile about the whole thing. Why did we ""live"" through Hazel's eyes during the whole of this book? why did we meet Augustus or his friend Isaac. What was the whole point of this book. I dare say it again. It was FUTILE and not in the funny Schwarzenegger way. It was just totally meaningless. The whole thing.<br/><br/>The beginning was good, or rather better, since it was funnier and felt somehow more real than most novels do as it dealt with life - difficult life - without being apologetic. It just is, or was. Both Hazel and Augustus deals with something SO terrible and as teenagers which can be difficult without the ""might be dying thing"".. I wanted to root for the both of them. To see them together even though the minimal reviews you read of this one tells you to prepare your handkerchiefs (do people actually carry ones anymore? I dare say I have an answer to it that I WON'T elaborate on...) so I was totally prepared for the worst and NOT the Happily Ever After. Not that I'm saying anything ABOUT the ending. It's just what I was expecting.. (I'm TRYING not to spoiler here! please appreciate ;)). Yet again, the futility of it all.. God! I'll just quote darling Fred here.. ""Geez grandpa what did you read me this thing for?"" (an unforgettable quote from an unforgettable movie - ""The Princess Bride"").<br/><br/>It wasn't a horrible book but for me it's definitely wasn't a good one either. It had a HUGE potential that TOTALLY got lost when the author tried being too damn smart. Sometimes a book needs to be happy, sad, stupid, funny - just BE! and not overly analyzed. That's my opinion.. I know MANY MANY loved it, yet I couldn't find a real interest. I kept reading because I DID want to know how it end, yet I did it reluctantly - it was so DAMN boring! I don't even know what it says about me that I could read of (imaginary) human pain and feel absolutely nothing. If it makes me a bad person so be it..<br/><br/>I will admit to shedding a few tears over this one. I guess it's almost impossible not to. Yet it wasn't a very emotional book in my eyes. It was a philosophical one (how many times have I wrote the word Philosophical in this review? that should explain my annoyance I think..).<br/><br/>But just so we don't finish this review with a grim feel - a short funny tale - On my first year of my BA I had one course in Philosophy. It was SO boring I could hardly keep up with the lecturer. She was a nice person, and very invested in what she was teaching but as you can guess from my review - yeah, it wasn't my ""thing"" exactly.. Back then I just brought home Eric's mother a puppy Great Dane and as I only had two courses that day I brought her to class. But Uli was bored to tears as well! I should say she wasn't as bored at Statistics as she was bored with Philosophy 101! ONLY on Philosophy's lessons she would yawn SO loudly it was embarrassing how much she was channeling me! Dogs usually yawn when they are frustrated not ""tired"" (what do they have to be tired about anyway?!). She never acted this way in ANY other course I brought her to. So thinking of both of us I stopped going to that class. Didn't get an amazing score in that one as you could guess but Uli and myself's mental health graded more.<br/><br/>Tags: Young Adult Romance<br/><br/>More Reviews - http://ultrameital.blogspot.co.il</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3U1A2IE809AR0?ASIN=014242417X	I absolutely loved this book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read this book two years ago when it first came out, and since I am super pumped for the movie, I decided it was time to reread it in preparation. I'm so glad that I did because the second time around was just a whole lot better!<br/><br/>The Fault in Our Stars follows Hazel Grace Lancaster, a 16-year-old cancer patient who believes that she is just a side effect of life. When Hazel Grace goes to a Cancer Kid Support Group that her mother makes her go to every week, she meets Augustus Waters, a boy who she believes would've never payed any attention to a girl such as herself, yet Gus does.<br/><br/>The relationship that Augustus and Hazel Grace have is just so sweet and amazing. They're really good together and they both have an excellent sense of humor that I never got bored of. I really loved their friend Isaac, who was also a member of the Cancer Kid Support Group. He was just so funny, and the egg-throwing scene was my favorite scene from the entire book, hands down.<br/><br/>I loved all the little things that Gus did for Hazel Grace; it was just so cute. He cares about Hazel Grace so deeply. I also really loved how the both of them just lived in the moment, not letting a second pass by where they aren't doing something that they enjoy. I definitely learned quite a few life lessons from Hazel Grace and Gus.<br/><br/>I absolutely love John Green's writing style, and I know that I'll definitely need to read the rest of his books now. I've also read Paper Towns and Looking for Alaska, with Looking for Alaska being my favorite John Green book thus far. John Green has this way of writing that just immerses the reader into the character's world so vividly, and he has this way of grasping onto the reader's heart and making them feel so deeply for each and every one of the characters. I definitely can't wait for this movie to come out!</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2EVXTYE5IG07I?ASIN=014242417X	So Many Emotions	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is, by far, one of the hardest reviews I have had to write. I had actually won a print copy of this book in a giveaway or contest or blogging event of some sort last year, though I cannot currently remember which. I then proceeded to use my audible credit to acquire it this month. I then took the Kindle version out from a friend's public library (as she was kind enough to allow me to use her login for ebooks, since she does not use the service and my library sucks).<br/><br/>I read this book in about 24 hours, and my emotions are so all over the place that I fear this review will be incoherent and rambling at best, but I have to write it. I have to get the thoughts out of my head or I will not be able to sleep. This is the second night in a row that this book has kept me awake.<br/><br/>I both love and hate this book and the author right now. I am so thoroughly pissed at the outcome, and then also so thoroughly lost for the unanswered questions that I am left with. Much like ""An Imperial Affliction"" left Hazel struggling, desperate to know what happens before she dies, I have the same kind of inner turmoil over the outcome for this book.<br/><br/>Additionally, I thought that I would be forever changed for having seen ""A Walk to Remember,"" and this was an even grander roller coaster ride. I feel as a soaking wet towel, wrung vigorously and left hanging in a twist over the shower curtain. I am not even sure how to put this into words properly.<br/><br/>John Green has taken my shriveled cynical heart and left it bleeding on the floor, utterly without a sense of why it is no longer within the confines of my ribcage. I was so invested in the characters of Gus and Hazel, and I now wonder what I will do without their story to fill my heart. Damn you, John Green! Why must you toy with my emotions so. Now I have to go read more of your books so that I can be ripped apart even more.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R16U04UENT3JHQ?ASIN=014242417X	UGH. Pretentious.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I’m feeling sassy this afternoon. Blame it on a bout of anxiety. And in feeling like such, I’m going to post a review on The Fault in our Stars. I hated it. Most people loved it. I have many similar problems with this book that I did with All the Bright Places. (See review).<br/>First off, the characters. Hazel Grace Lancaster and Augustus sdlkfaj Waters are two of the most pretentious old-but-not-really characters I’ve ever met. They are flat and speak as if they each have a Doctorate’s degree in philosophy hanging on their walls.<br/><br/>They are essentially the same person and they make incredibly insipid observations about he world around them. Like such:<br/><br/>“Why are breakfast foods breakfast foods…Like, why don’t we have curry for breakfast?”<br/><br/>Uhh, people do eat curry for breakfast, dipwad. You’d think with as smart as she is, she’d know a little about other cultures.<br/><br/>“A nonhot boy stares at you relentlessly and it is, at best, awkward and, at worst, a form of assault.<br/>But a hot boy . . . well.”<br/><br/>............<br/><br/>Another thing that I have a problem with is their romance. Augustus stares at her when they are in their first meeting together. STARES AT HER. That’s not cute. That’s mother-effin’ creepy! I’m not against love at first sight or anything, but COME ON. Then they take advantage of a charity and take this trip to Amsterdam to meet a piece-of-shit author and they end up kissing in the house where ANNE FRANK WAS CAPTURED. Ew. ew. ewwwwww. And everyone around them is okay with this? *keeps reading* They’re clapping?? CLAPPING?<br/><br/>These quotes are particularly worthy of the eye-roll.<br/><br/>“My thoughts are stars I cannot fathom into constellations.”<br/><br/>“I believe the universe wants to be noticed. I think the universe is improbably biased toward the consciousness, that it rewards intelligence in part because the universe enjoys its elegance being observed. And who am I, living in the middle of history, to tell the universe that it-or my observation of it-is temporary?”<br/><br/>Wut?<br/><br/>Gag.<br/><br/>Also, this book has one giant flaw with me. One of my big red buttons you should never ever push. It’s romanticizing dying, death and the ill. They are dying. Yes. It’s sad. Yes. The characters however, were so damn annoying and shallow I did not cry at the end of this book. Nope.<br/>Throughout this whole book, cancer and death are being treated like some magical beings that grant you the ability to love and to feel and make your life actually worth something since you have so little of it. That’s not how it is at all. People don’t suddenly feel like their life is so important or good and they certainly don’t start speaking soliloquy. Just take a look at one of our local college professors who died recently of cancer. He didn’t find any meaning to his life. He didn’t suddenly gain an appreciation for things. He was MAD. He took no visitors, no gifts, phone calls, nothing. He died relatively alone and angry. I knew the one friend who visited him and it was really hard to do. She could see his anger.<br/><br/>Just because a book makes you feel all the feels doesn’t mean it’s a masterpiece. If anything, I want to cry because it was so terrible.<br/>Don’t even get me started on that stupid cigarette thing that Augustus does. That’s got to be the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard of.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3C3XZ0ZPB155?ASIN=014242417X	Read this book!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars (2012) is a teen novel written by bestselling author John Green. Our narrator, Hazel, is a seventeen-year-old young woman coping with terminal thyroid cancer. At heart, Hazel is a reader, philosopher, and introspective person, wise beyond her limited years. But not unrealistically so (in her parents’ words, she can also act “very teenagery”). Through a church-based Cancer Support Group, which Hazel’s mother makes her attend (although Hazel finds them to be rather trite and cheesy) Hazel unexpectedly meets her match: the precocious, clever and irresistibly sexy amputee and fellow cancer survivor, Augustus Waters. But as Hazel feels she is a “grenade,” with reference to her terminal illness, she’s reluctant to take on a new friend, or engage in any kind of serious relationship, for fear of hurting yet another person when her time of death should come.<br/><br/>This may sound like a depressing novel, but amazingly, it isn’t. In fact, it is one of the funniest, warmest and addictive novels I’ve read. That’s not to say it’s without heartbreaking moments. Like most fellow readers, I did cry. But mostly, I was charmed by the main characters: who they were, their thoughtfulness and unique approaches to life and death; and their struggles for meaning – or acceptance of a lack thereof – while the rest of the world comforts itself with tired proverbs.<br/><br/>John Green is a poet with a brilliant mind. His simple yet masterful prose contains no clichés. And while Hazel can sometimes be flippant, saucy and downright blasphemous, she has one of the most honest approaches to cancer and mortality I’ve ever considered. I’ve never read a book quite like this, and am not sure what to compare it with. But it resonated with me. Another side story in this unforgettable novel, which I cannot fail to mention, is the mystery of the reclusive author of Hazel’s favorite novel. She and Augustus embark on an unlikely overseas adventure to Amsterdam to meet this author, a surprising encounter that had me on the edge of my seat.<br/><br/>Read this novel. The Fault in Our Stars is a triumphant, witty, irreverent and thought-provoking book worth your time. Yes, you may cry. But you won’t regret it!</span>"
1.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3RJN67F5Q9KNA?ASIN=014242417X	An enjoyable read.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I often like to read some of the one star reviews of books after I have read the book. Everyone has an opinion and it is fascinating to read the opinions of people who hated this book when the vast majority of people have loved it. One complaint that seems to be common in the one  star reviews is that teenagers don't talk as the way they are portrayed in this book. I can see that. I do not know any teenagers who speak like Augustus and at the same time I think that cancer can probably make one grow up a lot faster and it is a book and fiction, and even if you don't think no teenagers speak like they do, isn't it cool to think of some who would?<br/><br/>I read a complaint or two that the characters sounded alike. I don't agree with that at all. They read very differently to me and the fact that two characters can come together and riff on a joke doesn't mean sound alike, just means they have similar tastes in humor. I also don't understand why people are upset over the kiss in the Anne Frank musuem. I thought that whole scene was touching. If I saw two kids, one with obvious signs of cancer, kissing there, I'd probably think it was nice. To each their own though. Also, they are teenagers, so ""falling in love"" so quickly is not unreal. Shoot most of us know adults who 'fall in love' quickly, whether that is 'real love' - whatever that means - or something else, is up for the individual to decide.<br/><br/>I really liked the book. I am giving it four stars instead of five because I don't love it. I won't be reading it again and that is usually the criteria I have for five stars. It is a fun and touching book to read, especially if you like sassy philosophically musing. I like the story arc with the author from Amsterdam. It reminded me of when I was a teenager and I was obsessed with an author or celebrity. I think having cancer would be extremely tough and I liked that this book showed a different side to it rather than the cliche side. I think the main characters were fully formed with their own issues/secrets they struggled with and held from each other. Some may call Augustus selfish or dishonest, but we are all selfish at various times and have done things we are not proud of, especially when we were teenagers.<br/><br/>I'd recommend this book to everyone, except probably my most cynical of friends who only believe in reading 'high literature.'</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2J130MTRCRY5J?ASIN=014242417X	Snot-Nose-Crying 5 star worthy!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Do you ever find yourself not wanting to read a book that's been hyped up a lot? I won a hardback copy of this book over a year ago. Everyone was raving about it. Consistently bloggers and friends I trust were rating it 5 stars. So I KNEW it was a good book. I KNEW I would love it. And I also KNEW that it would make me cry. At the time of receiving the book I was emotionally drained from some other heavy books and needed light and fun and easy reads. A year later I still hadn't read it and the movie was a few months from coming out. So my sister-n-law's and I planned a beach trip that also coincided with the release of the movie. Not being a very long book I read it in 2 days. And I boo-hoo'd through the last 125ish pages. Snot.Nosed.Crying!<br/><br/>Guess what? The raving, and the hype and the building up was definitely deserved!<br/><br/>Hazel is a 16 year old girl who has terminal cancer. What started out as thyroid cancer when she was 13 has developed into stage 4 cancer that has spread to her lungs. Upon her mom's and doctor's insistence she attends a support group for kids with cancer. It's here that she meet's Isaac. A boy who lost an eye to cancer and is facing losing his other eye. It's here during her second visit that she meets Isaac's best friend: the witty, charismatic and handsome Augustus Waters.<br/><br/>The first half of the book is filled with great humor in an otherwise serious story. It keeps you smiling and laughing out loud. Then BAM, just like that the seriousness of the book and their situation hits you like a sledge hammer and the tears start flowing. (Be sure you have a box of tissues nearby) Even as sad as it is, and how emotional I was, I feel like I gained something in my heart by reading the story of Hazel Grace and Augustus. I gained a small glimpse into what cancer patients - especially young people - go through. Seriously, if you never read any other piece of fiction - read this story.<br/><br/>Favorite Quotes:<br/>Look, let me just say it: He was hot. A nonhot boy stares at you relentlessly and it is, at best, awkward and, at worst, a form of assault. But a hot boy...well.<br/><br/>I liked that he was a tenured professor in the Department of Slightly Crooked Smiles with a dual appointment in the Department of Having a Voice That Made My Skin Feel More Like Skin.<br/><br/>But you keep the promise anyway. That's what love is. Love is keeping the promise anyway.<br/><br/>As he read, I fell in love the way you fall asleep: slowly, and then all at once.<br/><br/>I'm in love with you, and I'm not in the business of denying myself the simple pleasure of saying true things. I'm in love with you, and I know that love is just a shout into the void, and that oblivion is inevitable, and that we're all doomed and that there will come a day when all our labor has been returned to dust, and I know the sun will swallow the only earth we'll ever have, and I am in love with you.<br/><br/>...I cannot tell you how thankful I am for our little infinity. I wouldn't trade it for the world. You gave me a forever within the numbered days, and I'm grateful.<br/><br/>Final Rating - An overwhelming 5 stars!!</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3K2Y9X50UVA3M?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in Pushing This Depressing Worldview	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I hesitate to even write this. I mean, this book already has 34K+ reviews, so perhaps no one will ever read this. But, I write this for the ONE that might.<br/><br/>First, let me give credit where it's due: This book is superbly well-written, showcasing Green's breadth and depth of knowledge (everything from medicine to Amsterdam). The story is compelling and engaging, and the characters (even Mr Van Houten, in some regards) are endearing. As a fellow Hoosier, I appreciated the Indiana landmarks and had to resist the urge to go visit Holliday Park again. And, what to many is unbelievable, I found the most enjoyable: the depth of the teenagers. Many adults might say teenagers are not this deep or insightful. Yet, as a high school English teacher, I'd say Green nails it. I've read enough essays in my day to know that these insightful teenagers totally exist, but are simply not given the right platform to be heard.<br/><br/>Now, here's my beef: In short, the underpinning philosophy and worldview of this book are fatalistic. And while Green may be trying to enlighten us all, he's inadvertently mocking God and killing reasonable faith in the process. I'm seriously concerned that teenagers (or even adults) might take some of these purported truths seriously.<br/><br/>In chp. 23, Green's worldview is somewhat spelled out for us when Hazel has a conversation with Isaac--""Gus told us that he feared oblivion, and I told him that he was fearing something universal and inevitable, and how really, the problem is not suffering itself or oblivion itself but the depraved meaningless of these things, the absolutely inhuman nihilism of suffering...what we want is to be noticed by the universe, to have the universe give a s*** what happens to us...""<br/><br/>So, there you have it. The wise, all-knowing Hazel pretty much lays out the basic premises pushed on us in this novel: (1) Life is meaningless, (2) There is nothing BUT this life, so no afterlife, (3) Suffering is pointless, (4) The universe doesn't care about us.<br/><br/>OK, so we could debate all these points with an entire book. Maybe even volumes, nay entire libraries. But, my point is simply this: Green so craftily pushes this worldview (cancer-ridden teenagers, romance, emotional topic, etc.) that many won't even notice that they've let these ultimately depressing thoughts form roots and maybe even take hold. And, Hazel might seem to be pretty chill about a meaningless life with no afterlife, but rest assured--the normal person is not. There is no comfort in accepting these things. Life is full of meaning. There is an afterlife, and there's a beautiful point to suffering. And, as for the universe, it cares about us because its Creator does. Read The Fault in Our Stars with eyes wide open and refuse to accept Hazel's thought-provoking, but faulty, musings as absolute truths.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R27KSA6Y5ACNOK?ASIN=014242417X	She wanted their happiness to remain intact after she was gone	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">An Infinity Amount of Stars<br/><br/>It's taken me two weeks to conjure up the right and deserving words I have for this book.<br/><br/>Per its genre of Young Adult, I hope none of the audience missed the proverbial meaning intended in this story. The Fault In Our Stars is incredibly deep in so many profound ways, which made me want to shake the author's hand when I finished the last sentence.<br/><br/>This book wasn't about dying, it was about life after death. Hazel spent her days worrying about what might happen to her parents after her expected final day. She wanted to make an impact, but a positive one. She wanted their happiness to remain intact after she was gone. This was her fear throughout reading An Imperial Affliction. She was only focused on an ending that went beyond the main character's life. She wanted a resolution for the other characters; to know they would survive the MC's life. This was her fear, not dying of cancer. The cancer was inevitable, life after she was gone, was not.<br/><br/>While Agustus didn't seem to have the same fears, his focus was on Hazel getting her answers. A selfless dying young man wanted the best for someone he grew to love. This is something you might find in a person well beyond the age of eighteen. But when your days are numbered, you age quickly, and you find the meaning of life faster than others. This again, in my opinion, shows what happens when the fast forward button is pressed on life. I feel that everyone learns what they need to learn throughout their existence, but some are forced to learn it faster.<br/><br/>I don't think this story was meant to be a romance, I think it was meant to show the meaning of life, and that in the end...there will be a life after us.<br/><br/>(view spoiler)<br/><br/>Truly heartwarming, emotional, and deep: The Fault In Our Stars belongs at #1 for a great reason. This is not a book to miss out on.<br/><br/>""Okay? Okay."" &lt;3<br/><br/>On a side note: The movie was spectacular and did the book an incredible justice.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R12Z5V4OAZUNHS?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I'm going to start out by saying that this book was amazing! ""The Fault In Our Stars"" turned two topics that weren't necessarily my favorites (cancer and romance novels) into one of the best books I have ever read. The way that John Green writes this story is wonderful: he writes it in the way that topics such as the ones i mentioned above can become a book you do not want to put down (I know I couldn't). One of the major reasons I like this book so much, being a guy, is that it shows the struggle of relationships from a guys point of view also, instead of just from the females point of view like most romantic novels. Another reason I really enjoyed this book was that, being a teenager in today's society, I could relate to how the world can affect who you are and who you become. Also, I can relate to the teenage relationship struggles because I have had those too, so kudos to John Green for accurately showing how teenage relationships can be difficult.<br/><br/>This story is about a 16-year old girl named Hazel Grace who has cancer in her lungs, and she meets a boy named Augustus (represented as Gus in the story) who had cancer previously and had lost a leg to it. These two characters immediately hit it off with just a simple look into each other's eyes across the room during Support Group. Then after that moment they become great friends and go through many fun/depressing/sad/intense moments where crying or smiling are the only two options. During the story, Hazel realizes that she is slowly falling in love with the little things about Augustus, while he has liked her from the very beginning. This story, in my opinion, accurately shows how teenagers of the opposite sex could be nowadays, which I really liked.<br/><br/>I recommend this book to mainly 14-early 20s because this story is about the struggles of being a teenager in today's society, and I don't believe that anyone older than being in their early 20s would understand today as us youngsters do, but anyone younger than 14 would probably not be able to relate to the relationships and the flirting that happens in this book, and the language might be a little strong also.<br/>I am man enough to say that as a 14 male, this book brought me to tears.<br/>I hope to read more John Green books in hope that they are as great as this one!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RGYXZ4DB2ZJ2Z?ASIN=014242417X	Reviewing against the flow...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Hmmm...I have mixed feelings about this book. I can totally understand why teens love it. I have been reading quite a few books this year that were really for teens. Partly because I remember really good literature from when I was growing up that I read such as L'Engle's Wrinkle in Time, and I first read Lord of the Rings back as a teenager. I really enjoyed other books such as The Book Thief, and I read all of the Hunger Game books. Because I'm Deaf, I prefer to read books first before I see the movie, but my granddaughters wanted to see the movie, so I was actually reading the book at the same time as when I saw the movie. As per usual, I thought the book was slightly better than the movie, although they really took the dialogue right from the book. The book gave more to the imagination than the movie did.<br/><br/>So what bothers me about the book? Part of it is the fact that I got a strong feeling the book was actually written with a movie in mind.. Books like the ones I mentioned above, stand well alone...they don't seem to be written for a movie. Even the Hunger Games, which we have all been seeing and hearing about for several years now (and the Harry POtter series), the writing is really good in these books. We will have to see what the future brings, but I think the books I've mentioned will continue to draw readers for years, while this book will not stand the test of time. The writing just isn't there in this book. It is not a great piece of literature. It was written to sell.<br/><br/>That's kind of too bad, because the topic is one that should be explored. Children and teens are not supposed to die of cancer. But they do, and their stories should be told. But I don't like tear jerkers usually, I don't choose to read those along with my science, and history, and classics. I would probably recommend the book to teens to read if this is the kind of stuff they like, but it wouldn't be my first choice.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2D4TIITA0KARN?ASIN=014242417X	Perfectly poised definition of what memories should be made of	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Quote: ""I missed the future.""<br/><br/>My enthusiasm for this book is enormous and Oh, Hazel how you crept into my soul.<br/>The best stories always manage to find that raw ache of humanity in you and draw it out long enough for you to examine closely... sometimes these fictions allow you to take something of their shimmer with you for years to come, sometimes they engage your emotions to pay homage through evocative physicality--you cry, laugh, champion the hero with vocal enthusiasm, but seldom do novels reach directly into your nervous system and tear at you in a way you know you'll never forget--The Fault of Our Stars is, in this visceral manner, an unforgettable book.<br/>Hazel's eyes guide, as the tale follows her fatalistic acceptance of her illness, her need to be loved, and her intensely keen, often scathing, but mostly intelligent attitude to the gaggle of characters surrounding her. Her reluctance to be horrified by the fact that she might become an unsung statistic of demise is utterly charming-- what she fears is pain, and her pursuit in avoiding it, in both its physical as well as its psychological sense, is astonishing, but, Hazel, being the Hazel she is, is more terrified of causing it for others than she is of feeling it herself, a remarkable sixteen-year-old, don't you think?<br/>The romance Hazel is indulged in by Augustus Waters, is so fragile in its tender beauty that it will crack you open (even if you're not a brittle type). Augustus, whom Hazel meets at one of her cancer survivor meetings, is the the polar opposite of everything cancer stands for, he is the perfect Adonis-With-Brains-and-Heart, he believes in hope, he wants to be more than a statistic, he cares for his friends and he cares about them. Mostly, however, he simply adores Hazel and her quirky witticisms, her 'Pixie-Look', and her yearning intellect. He is gorgeous, and also a cancer 'beater ', despite his sacrifice of half a leg to the wicked cause.<br/>The novel focuses on Hazel and her devotion to her 'Best-Ever-Novel', written by a reclusive, one-time author. The book unites the feature protagonists, Hazel Grace and Gus Waters in an endeavor to discover the outcome of the unsatisfactory ending provided by the author of the book they have both come to adore. The premise that perfection in life is achieved by enjoying a long, healthy, wealthy and carefree life full of joyful art and entertainment is challenged so poignantly in this tale that the reality the author reveals through his delightfully clever manipulation of the trials the characters encounter and youthful first-kiss-love they find, is a marvel to behold. Truth always leaves you a little breathless, and of course, memories are all anyone has of the good times they have enjoyed, the picture in the mind is no less dull if the time taken to achieve that enjoyment was as brief as it was perfect. Ultimately that's all anyone gets out of life.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2WPMB3RZP4I7W?ASIN=014242417X	A pleasantly beautiful not-epic love story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars follows the story or Augustus Waters and Hazel Grace as they fight their battles with cancer and reflect on the life they've lived. Augustus and Hazel are very real characters and John Green manages to capture their personalities as well as the tragedy of their situations and past situations.<br/><br/>Augustus is a very charismatic and funny guy, his dialogue is classicly 'teen' and I found myself laughing out loud with Hazel! Hazel is very sweet and through her friendship with Augustus, learns to come out of her shell and make connections with people that she was otherwise leaving behind. Isaac and Hazel's parents are well written and believable side characters as well as Peter Van Houten, who is a comical but also tragic character whose life is changed by Gus and Hazel who make him come to realise errors in his behaviour...but not before it's too late.<br/><br/>The development between Hazel and Augustus is slow but there during the course of the book as they open up to each other and explain why they do things and the pace at which it happens is steady.<br/><br/>I do think that at the end it dragged on a bit though, but perhaps that was to give the reader time to cry and collect their feelings with Hazel and Augustus at the end.<br/><br/>Overall, The Fault in Our Stars was a very tragic book, but uplifting in the end as some questions since the start of the book get an answer. I would recommend it to people who enjoy realistic fiction and romance novels and am planning to read the rest of John Green's work.<br/><br/>5 out of 5 stars for a wonderful book, believable storyline and raw, true and epic love.<br/><br/>""Some infinities are bigger than other infinities.""<br/>-Hazel Grace</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RTJIA08TQ12DB?ASIN=014242417X	Optimistically Depressing; a True Eye-Opener	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I loved this book more than not. I am planning for a career in Pediatric Oncology as a Research Nurse and this book was a fabulous insight into the children who face this horrible disease.<br/><br/>This is my honest review.<br/><br/>This book is depressing, but in an optimistic light. Optimistic because larger than life concepts are discussed here; this is not a teenager worried over being ""cool"". This is a teenager who is facing life with a disease numbering her days. She has grasped what she has in this lifetime. Her perspectives are blunt, philosophical, and sadly relevant.<br/><br/>Her vocabulary is huge. This is where I was not so excited- I enjoy learning new words reading. When a sentence is FULL of huge, not commonly used words though, it's a bit overwhelming to understand what's going on. I'm thankful for instantly being able to look up words on Kindle. I usually gather from context and root words what a word means, but when the whole sentence is full of new ones, gathering from context isn't so easy.<br/><br/>One would suppose perhaps that most teens do not speak on these levels of intellect and vocab, but I can recall quite a few conversations from my junior high and high school years (over 10 years ago) in these same circle of words and thoughts. One must also consider that these teens would gravitate toward those places due to their being terminal as well.<br/><br/>The one thing I really did not like more than the vocab, was the incessant run-on thoughts and sentences. While it did bring personality to the characters and sometimes even my own thought processes, writing endlessly like it drove me crazy. It's only difficult because it isn't what we are used to reading. It was a unique perspective though.<br/><br/>The plot is beautiful. It truly is. Amidst the inevitable deaths coming, these teens face their lives and juice every drop they're able to. They made me reflect on my own; am I really taking for granted my health? I have known children personally who have lost their fights to Cancer. This book is extremely personal to me.<br/><br/>I also can relate in one more aspect: the not being able to breathe one. I am an otherwise healthy individual, but rely heavily on my daily inhaler for Asthma. If I do not take it, I certainly feel it. At the beginning diagnosis, I was tested for allergies but had none. I was getting Bronchitis more than 3 times a year which is a hallmark sign of conditions like COPD and a terminal one called Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency. Every time I watched someone light up a cigarette, I wanted to punch them. Here I am, longing to run without having an asthma attack every time... wanting to walk up stairs without pain and passing out... I hated my lungs. I still do. No matter how strong I try to make them, they refuse to function without a faithful 440mg of meds per day. The ending diagnosis was not a chemical fallout at all, but more so an anatomical imperfection.<br/><br/>The ostea in my nose are too small so when the barometric pressure in the air shifts, this creates even more pressure in everyone's sinuses. Since mine cannot properly drain, I get a lot of backup or it's a residual, slow dripping that I don't know is happening. I never get a runny nose. I carry a constant cough and rattle in my lungs, but without the inhaler, the cough grows drastically and almost immediately I am at my body's mercy.<br/><br/>Before ruling out the above two diseases, I was terrified. I was 24 years old- I still had life to live... I WANTED to live and put everything I had into every day I had. I had a new relationship that I was pretty confident in (and that 2 and a half years I married). I had to prepare myself for potentially ""terminal"" news. Alpha-1 is generally a 5-10 year life span after diagnosis, COPD being a variance. Mind you, I am not a smoker nor have I ever been. I've always been athletic and food-conscious. I was looking at my life differently. If I had Alpha-1, it meant a slow digression of my lungs and injections to suffice my body. I would deteriorate beneath myself and be dead within 10 years most likely. Endless treatments... loosing my life... I began looking at the bigger picture. Why am I here? Is what I'm already aiming to reach, what I'm supposed to be aiming for? What legacy would I leave? Would I ever be a Mama? A wife?<br/><br/>I could not imagine facing death at any younger of an age, let alone like these characters do. I truly believe this book is not for the faint of heart, but for those who are open-minded and easy to relate to.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R19QPNTWPU4TOT?ASIN=014242417X	Okay Okay	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Let me tell you how I started reading this book. I saw that it was going to be a movie and I liked the main character so I decided to give the book a shot. Before I read the book I watched the trailer. It looked like an OKAY movie but I still went through to read the book. I am so glad that I read the book!<br/><br/>It begins with Hazel Grace. She is surviving with cancer. Her lungs are filled with tiny little masses that make it hard for her to breathe without her oxygen tank. She is forced to go to weekly meetings at a church with cancer patients. That is where she meets Augustus Waters. I think it is love at first sight. She makes him read one of her favourite books and he makes her read his. Their relationship grows and he uses his cancer wish to take Hazel to Amsterdam to meet the author of her favourite book. She has some unanswered questions for him about the book. Ever since they met, Augustus did not hide his feelings from her. He knew he loved her in an instant and wouldn’t give up on her, even though she kept pushing him away saying she was a grenade. He didn’t care. I loved the ending. Don’t worry, I won’t ruin it. That is all I will tell you.<br/><br/>I know it doesn’t sound like much, and it really isn’t. There is nothing special about this book. The last chapter I read, though, for some odd reason, I couldn’t stop crying. The last chapter was a letter that Augustus wrote to the author. I just love it when guys show emotion. After I composed myself from crying during the last pages, I watched the trailer and cried even more! I felt a connection with the characters that you just don’t get when you watch a movie. This just proves that you will never get out of a movie when you get from a book. I definitely recommend this book. It isn’t even that long! Favourite line – Okay, Okay.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3ENHJSCLDWIFX?ASIN=014242417X	I recommend The Fault in Our Stars for ages 13 and ...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I recommend The Fault in Our Stars for ages 13 and up. The Fault in Our Stars is a really great book because the author John Green adds so much detail and some much emotion. The genre of this book is nonfiction because this story is not real but it could happen.<br/> The Fault in Our Stars is a book about a 17 year old girl named Hazel Grace Lancaster that goes to a support group because she has cancer and in support group she meets 18 year old Augustus Waters. Augustus and Hazel form a relationship, and go on a trip together to Amsterdam with Hazel’s mom. When they go to Amsterdam Hazel gets to meet the author of her favorite book called an imperial Affliction by Peter Van Houten. When Augustus and Hazel get to Amsterdam, the next day they go to Peter Van Houten’s house to get answers to questions she has about the book. After they went to his house, Van Houten’s  assistant  Lidewij Vliegethart  offers them to go to the Anne Frank house. The next day they went back to Amsterdam. Hazel ad Gus plan to spend the rest of their lives together but something happens. If you want to find out read the book!!!<br/>The most important thing I learned from the book is that People have to go through tough times in their lives but you just have to get past the tough times. For example Hazel at first was going to die when she was 12 her parents said you can let go Hazel. But she ended up living. And in one part of the book Augustus was at the gas Station and the tube in Augustus’s stomach got infected ,Gus almost died, so the most important thing I learned that people go through tough times but get through them. I give this books Stars. I recommend. This book for ages 13 and up. I recommend this book because it is a really great book because it has so much emotion and so much great detail in the book it feels like you can feel the characters emotions. That’s why I give this book 5 Stars I and that’s why I recommend this book.<br/><br/> Look what others say about my book:<br/>• The best book I’ve read in years<br/>• Beautiful.<br/>• . Young Adult Fiction at its finest<br/><br/>About the author: John Michael Green is an American author of young adult fiction, YouTube video blogger, historian and creator of online educational videos.

4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R29SCRFIVS8YQR?ASIN=014242417X	Heartbreaking tragic but beautiful!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Now this is a book that I may not have chosen to read if I hadn't seen all of the wonderful reviews about it. The reviews made me extremely curious about the book so I decided to see what the fuss was all about, especially as there is a film coming out based on the book. What I found was a book so life-affirming it's incredible!<br/><br/>The book is revolves around Hazel and her battle with terminal cancer, she's going to die eventually and she knows it. You go into he book with certain preconceptions about it, beliefs in what you think are going to happen...... POSSIBLE SPOILER ALERT!<br/><br/>You think this is a book about DEATH, it's about a girl dying from cancer..... this is true it is a book with Death in it but I wouldn't say its a book about Death, it's actually a book about LIFE in my opinion. Hazel knows her time in limited and while you go through the book initially believing you will be reading about her loved one watching her die this turns out to simply not be the case. I think it's about Hazel getting some semblance of her life back as when the book begins her mother has been keeping her close to keep her well and safe but is in fact stifling Hazel to a degree, Hazel doesn't really have much of a life outside of the cancer and away from her family. It's understandable as Hazel#s parent have no idea how long they will have left with her and want to spend every moment possible with her but Hazel needs to have a life of her own to enjoy while she can and this is where the wonderful Gus comes in. Gus, a former cancer patient in remission, is breath of fresh air for Hazel and the sparks are instant. As the relationship between them develops Hazel begins to live her life again and it's a joy to read about until the moment that the big twist in the tale rears it's head and the book gets turned around completely.<br/><br/>As I said, you think you'll be reading about Hazel's nearest and dearest watching her die despite the new lease of life she gains but the tables are turned and, without giving the twist away, it's heartbreaking reading.<br/><br/>The book is very thought-provoking and makes you question whether you yourself are living your own life to the fullest extent possible while you can. The tale itself is tragically heartbreaking but so thoughtfully written with a certain flair that makes for easy reading combined with full force emotional impact. You think you know the sort of book you're getting until about 2/3 of the way through when the rug gets pulled straight out from under you, the emotional roller-coaster you find yourself on for the rest of book is astonishingly fantastic and doesn't let you go until the very end.<br/><br/>Simply put this books is truly a work of art, it's beautiful, tragic and heartbreaking but one I would recommend to anyone who has the heart to read it!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RM8F4QMH4L767?ASIN=014242417X	Gripping story that is sure to move you to tears! One of my favorites of 2014!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I seriously did not know what I was getting myself into when I chose to read The Fault in Our Stars. I had no prior knowledge of it, nor had I heard of it; in fact, I purposely bought the book and chose to read it simply because it was on my reading list of “Book to Movies Challenge,” and since the movie is coming out in June, I figured I’d better hurry. Together with that, I seriously did not know what I was getting myself into when I chose to read The Fault in Our Stars until I read the first chapter in its entirety and realized that the rest of book was going to:<br/><br/>(a) Be flooded with profanity at the turn of every page<br/><br/>(b) Utterly insult the deity of the God I believe in because within the first paragraphs of chapter one, I was lead to, “The Literal Heart of Jesus” with extreme sarcasm if I may add ;)<br/><br/>Now, I ought to admit that I was offended at first within the very first chapter of The Fault in Our Stars, but at the same time, I was genuinely captivated because well let’s face it, John Green has a charm with words. He is like one of those polished jugglers, who make such a simple trick look so easy when in reality it is not.<br/><br/>So I read on, and on, chapter after chapter, I submersed myself into the most fascinating life of Hazel Grace Lancaster, and then something remarkable happened. It was as if, this guarded bubble I had been living in most of my life, suddenly popped! Ha! Yeah crazy right!? It’s like, I came to understand and discover a world completely different from the one I've been so settled in. Please do not misread what I am trying to convey; I am not declaring that I have completely tossed everything I've known to be true out the window. No, I am not denying my faith in Jesus or any foundation I have established in my faith. What I mean to say is that, I discovered that there are such intriguing and beautiful people outside of my inner circle and I want to get to know them. Most importantly, I wish to in no way approach them with a mission or my religious stake either; I just simply want to know them and listen to their story. :)<br/><br/>I wonder if the most extraordinary people on our planet are taken so suddenly from family and loved ones because they deserve something better than to continue to live amongst immature, half-grown human beings. I really do not wish to insult anyone or to single anyone out; really I don’t. These were just some first thoughts that crossed my mind after I finished reading The Fault in Our Stars. Like, what if God takes these extraordinary people to Him on such short notice, because they miraculously have understood the meaning of existence?<br/><br/>What if everyone (myself included) who is still alive on earth today, right now; what if, we are still existent because we have a great deal to learn, a great deal to understand, to go through in order to acknowledge and appreciate life’s existence…and that of Gods. It’s no wonder death arrives at the end of one’s life. I imagine that is when all of life’s lessons finally make sense, but then it is too late to go back and fix the mistakes and choices we made.<br/><br/>I found myself cloaked in guilt and shame after I came to the end of Hazel Grace’s story. My shirt was literally soaked in snot and tears. Though Hazel Grace Lancaster and Augustus Waters are fictional characters, I couldn't help but consider that there could very well possibly be many sixteen year old girls battling lung tumors today; struggling to breathe and survive just one more day. I felt terrible shame for taking my health and that of my children and my Ben’s for granted. I especially felt great guilt for not appreciating what I have been given; changes will be made.<br/><br/>To finish, we are all dying of a terminal illness…the illness is sin, whose side effect is death.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3QQWPD6YBD7U0?ASIN=014242417X	Oblivion is inevitable, but you should still read this book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Only a few people can make humor out of a touchy subject. Hardly anyone can pump large amounts of humor into a book that WILL make you cry. John Green does both, placing numerous profound little quotes and metaphors while he's at it. Probably what I like most about this book: it's down to earth. Nothing in this book really stands out to me as too extreme in one direction or the other. There aren't any overly happy moments that last very long without any dark undertone (SPOILER: such as the duo's time in Amsterdam), and any dark moments usually contain some form of humor, with a few exceptions (SPOILER: like Augustus's death).<br/>This book is just a good balance, in my opinion. It has the power to evoke many emotions I don’t normally feel while reading a book. I felt uneasy while laughing, hopeful during sadness, and fearful while happy. This book gave me insight on a subject I haven’t experienced (and hope no one would ever experience): having your own death hung above your head. The book inside of The Fault in our Stars, An Imperial Affliction, is, from what I understand, a perfect representation of The Fault in our Stars, giving a good peek inside the mind of a cancer patient that should and would much rather be dead.<br/>However, nothing is perfect. As many others have noticed, both Hazel and Gus use extremely complex language, language that no one I've met can use to half the extent that this book does. When you read the following example, keep in mind that these are teenagers, people.<br/>“There will come a time when all of us are dead. All of us. There will come a time when there are no human beings remaining to remember that anyone ever existed or that our species ever did anything. There will be no one left to remember Aristotle or Cleopatra, let alone you. Everything that we did and built and wrote and thought and discovered will be forgotten and all of this will have been for naught. Maybe that time is coming soon and maybe it is millions of years away, but even if we survive the collapse of our sun, we will not survive forever. There was time before organisms experienced consciousness, and there will be time after. And if the inevitability of human oblivion worries you, I encourage you to ignore it. God knows that’s what everyone else does.”<br/>Hazel, our main character, says this fairly early on. She says this whole paragraph without thinking twice or anything. All on a whim. I might be able to accept that illness had aged our main characters to the Shakespearean level of speech they possess if they had lived a few more years with it. However, as it is, I find the idea of two teenagers who open their mouths and vomit out some well-refined monologue or profound insight that looks like it was worked on for days unrealistic.<br/>Overall, I think this is a great book that you should definitely read. It stays down to earth while being very funny, very sad, and very happy . However, the way the characters speak and act is a tad unrealistic, using large, spontaneous monologues and other, extremely refined ways of speaking that doesn’t mesh well with the fact that the main characters are meant to be teenagers. However good this book is, I do not think this book is all stars and has no faults.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2MSL33N6MF0A0?ASIN=014242417X	The book you've been looking for....	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in our Stars is a love story of two cancer struck teenagers. The author, John Green, tells this story through the eyes and mind of the main character, Hazel Grace. John Green got inspiration for the title of the book from Act 1 Scene 2 of Shakespeare’s play Julius Caesar. “The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves, that we are underlings.” The genre of “The Fault in our Stars” is realistic fiction and geared towards young adults but enjoyed by many ages. It was recently turned into a movie with the same name filmed by Josh Boone. TFIOS is the winner of the 2013 Children’s Choice Teen Book award. It was named TIME magazines #1 Fiction Book of the year on June 6th, 2014, a feature film adaption that was released and earned over $300 million in box office sales. Also, TFIOS won many Teen Choice Awards in 2014.<br/> The Fault in our Stars was a book that let me wanting more. I wanted to know more about the book after the ending. I wanted to know what happened with Hazel’s family. The book was well-written and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I just wish it was a more strung out plot. Moreover, on Amazon book reviews surviver_15 said “I think it is very well written. It covers a topic that is difficult to talk about and is often avoided” While scrolling through all the reviews I see several topics having their titles be, “The Best Book I’ve Read in Years”, or “Young Adult Fiction at its Finest.” In addition, on Amazon book review Helen said, “TFIOS is a word that defies its genre in all the best ways. The silly boy crushes and superficial gossip that writers think makes up 99% of high school steps aside for a beautiful, honest, heartrending story of life, death, and love. I can only compare this book to Markus Zuzak’s award-winning “The Book Thief” in terms of sophistication and depth.” Coming from one of our own Trumbull High School fellow classmates, Lily Clark also states, “This book was inspiring and heartwarming. It taught me to love my life and not take anything for granted.” In my opinion, the trip to meet Van Houten was the best part of the book. John Green described Amsterdam in a way where I could imagine the romantic dinner at the restaurant Oranjee and the canal ridden streets. The detail in which they described the suffering of Augustus Waters throughout the book was articulate and gave me an elaborate mental visualization of him. It was almost as if I could hear their voices in my head and I could feel their sadness.<br/> Looking at all these quotes from people I can definitely tell they agreed on how they felt about this book. So let’s talk about what this book is really about. TFIOS is a love story about two stage 4 cancer teenagers. Hazel Grace is a shy thyroid cancer stuck 16 year old girl. When her mom makes her go to a support group, she takes special interest in a 17 year old ex-basketball star who happens to be an amputee. Hazel recommends Gus to read, “An Imperical Affliction” which becomes the epitome of their relationship. After finishing the book, Gus reveals that he had been in touch with the author of the book and had been offered a meeting with him. After medical restriction problems and parent persuasion, they took a trip with Hazels mother to Amsterdam to meet the infamous Van Houten. After meeting with the drunken genius, Hazel loses interest in finding out “What happens next.” In this book on this romance filled trip, Gus tells Hazel his cancer has returned and he was in fact dying. When they return home Gus’s sickness worsens rapidly. Now I don’t want to give too much away but let’s just say you get that feeling of not wanting to put the book down, but also need a break from reading this heartwarming book. Most importantly, you can’t be afraid to let a few tears go. On the website theguardian.com Milo agrees by saying, “It enthralls, entertains, and educates and offers a jumping off point for young people to explore and discuss important philosophical issues. And yes, I did get something in my eye at the end. But it was only dust.’”<br/> The author did a great job of allowing us to feel different emotion throughout the book. At times it was hard to read, but I guess that’s what you should expect when reading at times romantic and funny, but at the sad time heart wrenching and heart breaking. John Green receives a question asking, “Did the themes and ideas from stories you had abandoned in the past help shape TFIOS?” He replied, “Yes , in a lot of ways. There are many lines from the sequel and the desert island book that ended up in TFIOS in different ways. John Green also adds, The desert island book was primarily about how we behave around each other when we are scared, how fear makes us both more and less human…..But then I ended up including a lot of metrification in TFIOS, so it founds its way in as well.” Concluding,  if you have read some of his other book for instance, Paper Towns (2008), Will Grayson, Will Grayson (2010), as well as some short stories “Reasons” What you wish for (2011) or most recently, “Double on Call and other Short Stories (2012), the TFIOS is definitely the book for you. Overall, I wouldn’t hesitate to pick this book up and experience the feelings most of us felt during this movies, and I hope you leave off feeling the way I did.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/ROGRPC04K5ASH?ASIN=014242417X	This Book Belongs in the Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">When I first picked up The Fault in Our Stars, I wasn’t sure what to expect. Would it be a tale of romance? Of hardship? Of the inevitability of our own demise? I learned after ravenously reading this John Green masterpiece that this novel was all three, and more. The story focuses on Hazel Grace Lancaster, a 16-year-old thyroid cancer survivor who is not sure what to do with her life. The aggressive nature of her cancer leads her doctors to believe that she will not live more than a few more years. It is only due to the miracle drug “Phlanxifor” (a fictional medicine created by Green) that her life has been extended as long as it has. On a trip to a support group meeting for cancer survivors, however, Hazel’s life takes a drastic turn; she meets Augustus “Gus” Waters, a handsome 17 year old amputee and osteosarcoma survivor, who teaches her there’s more to life than just postponing death.<br/><br/>The book has its fair share of twists, turns, and surprises. Green’s unique sense of humor helps to inject comedy into otherwise dreary and depressing situations, keeping the novel’s tone as light as one could hope from a book about cancer survivors. But the novel isn't predominantly about cancer. In fact, there’s not very much about cancer at all. The book is about Hazel’s and Gus’s romance and how they fall in love regardless of their fates. They defy their situations, and make the most of their time together. As Gus said, “Almost everyone is obsessed with leaving a mark upon the world. Bequeathing a legacy. Outlasting death” (310). Hazel and Gus choose to leave a legacy behind in each other. When one of them dies, they will live on in the other’s memories. That’s what I think the real message of the book is. We all want to live forever. We all want to be remembered. We don’t need to be a famous movie star, novelist, or musician, to do that. To be remembered after we pass, we just need to live on in the memories of our family and friends. And that’s enough.<br/><br/>Despite the novel’s heavy topic, The Fault in Our Stars is a brilliant novel, filled with humor, wit, and a thought-provoking message. I’d recommend the novel to anyone, and advocate that it is a must-read for anyone of any age.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1KJIM6YY32H6C?ASIN=014242417X	The Reason Why The Fault in Our Stars Has No Fault	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars, as awful and horribly sad as it might sound, leaves no happy emotions out of its list for readers on its mental roller coaster. John Green, the author of the teen tragic comedy, utilizes Hazel Grace's voice to inject some of his own personality and humor into the seemingly depressing life of a far-gone cancer patient while still keeping the underlying premise of the gravity of Hazel's situation. The clarity of which Green executes his bursts of humor makes it easy to understand and universal for all readers of all ages.<br/>  A prime example of Green's light-heartedness is in the exposition and of course through the voice of Hazel when she ""listened to Patrick recount for the thousandth time his depressingly miserable life story--how he had cancer in his balls and they thought he was going to die but he didn't die and here he is, a full-grown adult in a church basement in the 137th nicest city in America, divorced, addicted to video games, mostly friendless, eking out a meager living by exploiting his cancertastic past, slowly working his way toward a master's degree that will not improve his career prospects, waiting, as we all do, for the sword of Damocles to give him the relief that he escaped lo those many years ago when cancer took both of his nuts but spared what only the most generous soul would call his life."" That is hilarious. The type of dry, hilarious humor that Green adds makes his story weigh a little less, yet in the entire above quote, the underlying theme of living life to the fullest and narrowly escaping death stubbornly remains: another reason why The Fault in Our Stars blows me away.<br/>  Throughout all of the laughs and the upbeat moments, sprinkled in every once and a while with a little saltshaker of pain were some very ""cancer"" moments. At the end of the story, though, whoever was holding the shaker unscrewed the cap and poured on the sadness like it was payday. But oddly enough, the better sense of realism made the story better. I can't really even imagine the book being solely funny; I don't think there's ever even been a funny book about cancer before this. Regardless, the sprinkled and poured moments of depressing ""cancer"" moments added a much needed weight to the story.<br/>  To put it briefly, this book was amazing. I was fascinated that the author could blend two such different genres as saddening dramas and teen heart-felt comedies into one hilariously heartbreaking story of young love. For the simple reason that John Green is a genius at fabricating a book out of two genres as different as steel and ground beef while still keeping an emotional weight to the story, everyone needs to read this book. I advocate the suggestion of this book to anyone who enjoys the triumphs of life and the freedom of laughter.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2SIS2V3TT6T6S?ASIN=014242417X	Really good book!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">You don't always get what you want in life. The Fault in our Stars is a story about falling in love while fighting cancer. This is a book that all teens can relate to. The ups and downs of life are very obvious, and Hazel's journey is evidence of this. She has cancer, she feels frustrated and angry at the world. She goes to a support for cancer patients and meets Gus, a fellow teen who is also fighting cancer. Gus has a positive outlook, determined to see life as a party meant to be enjoyed while you can. He becomes friends with Hazel, and encourages her let go and have fun despite her having cancer. Together, they travel to Amsterdam on a trip that impacts Hazel in a significant way that made her story arc entertaining and interesting. Hazel's story arc is interesting and very easy for teens to relate to. The character of Gus was an out of the ordinary kind of guy who cared about life and who would be an appealing friend. His openness about his opinions, sense of humor and overall positive outlook on life held my interest throughout the story. Hazel is very real. Her outlook on life is negative, as you would expect from someone fighting cancer and living with the burden of being hooked up to an oxygen tank for part of her day, just to survive. She feels sorry for herself sometimes, thinks no one cares enough to try to understand how she feels. She behaves exactly how you would expect a teenager living with lung cancer to behave. As someone who lives with a disability, I related to her feelings of anger at the world, her situation and thinking no one could possibly understand. Anyone who goes through something like this knows her<br/>pain. I thought the setting and scenery described in the book was good, it drew me in big time! The language was a bit strong at times, but is real to how teens talk today. Overall, great story!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3BRJB3UO8DI32?ASIN=014242417X	A Book Full Of Bittersweet Longing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I tend to be somewhat late to reading books that are massive pop culture phenomena because of the large backlog of works I read on a regular basis, and admittedly reading this sort of romance is not something I do often, and for good reason. I really hate reading books like this, not because the books are bad (because this book is actually very good) but I hate what books like this say about me. The characters in this novel are witty, cynical, romantic, clever, and are precisely the sort of people that I would be friends with. The fact that they are [spoiler alert] dying of cancer only makes their romance more poignant, their love more futile than the sort of futile romantic longings that most of us (myself definitely included) have to wrestle with over the course of our lives.<br/><br/>This book is difficult to review because there are large parts of it that remind me all too much of my own past and present. One of the chief difficulties, for me, of reading a book like this is it reminds me that for all of my cynicism, I am a romantic at heart, something that causes no end of trouble in my life and in my interactions with others. Over and over again, the book reminds us that the two protagonists are in love, in a real love, with people who are awkward, who like serious books and think deeply about mortality and the meaning of life even as they face their own inexorable demise, and yet despite the fact that they know they are doomed, they still fall in love anyway, still open their hearts to someone else, still long for intimacy and connection in a world where those are immensely hazardous and very ill-rewarded for most of us. Most of the people who read this book will not have cancer, but most know what it is like to be gripped between fear and longing, and to choose to love even when it is inconvenient, even when it is doomed to produce immense stress and difficulty in our lives and the lives of others, because, as the author says towards the end, we do not have a choice to be hurt or not in this life, but rather we chose who we let hurt us.<br/><br/>As is often the case with novels that strike a chord, this novel has achieved a great deal of success as a book and as a film (I have not yet seen the movie), and this success is well-earned. Not only has the author constructed two memorable and sympathetic romantic leads, but each of the secondary characters adds something to the plot as well, as well as to the struggle over fulfilling our longings for love and intimacy even if we know our lives on this earth are but a brief vapor leaving us to be forgotten and consigned to oblivion. Despite the fact that we are beings doomed to death and suffering and sorrow, heartbreak and pain and agony, we are driven by our longings to seek friendship and romantic love, to stare into the heavens to curse them or reflect on them, and to hope against hope that we have lived a life worth remembering by someone, if only for a little while. Clearly that longing for love, for meaning, for significance, is a longing that drives many of us in our lives, and books like this serve to remind us of the intensity and universality of those longings, providing comfort only in the fact that we are all struggling against the same fate, and that we are all at least potential friends and allies in the struggle against despair. As a book that combines humane storytelling with witty references to literature and pop culture, this is a book that is a treat for both the head and the heart, a book that traffics in heartbreak even as it provokes the longings it deals with so grimly and so realistically.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2VYNVWI9AA9P0?ASIN=014242417X	It's like tickling a baby to get it to stop crying	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">One of the ironies of my life is that as a child, I often read books written for adults but now that I am an adult, I often read books written for children. Yet John Green, the exceptional author of ""The Fault in Our Stars"" wrote a masterful novel that touches adults as well as adolescents. I believe the chief reason he seems to have targeted adolescents as the audience for his book is simply that many Americans will stop reading novels after graduating high school. If that is negative, it is negative for reasons that are beyond the power of any one author.<br/><br/>One of the phrases Green uses frequently in the novel is ""cancer perk."" A cancer perk is a gift that a cancer patient receives that would not have been given if the person were healthy. An example is a trip to Disney World that a girl with leukemia gets for free because people are sympathetic to her plight. Until I read this novel, I thought such gifts were pleasant, compassionate gestures. But now I see something perhaps sinister, maybe even hypocritical about them. It's the futility of it that gets to me. It's like tickling a baby to get it to stop crying. The idea is that we think you're stupid so we're going to give you something that we believe makes people happy so you won't feel sad. But if you have a tumor in your lungs, no matter how many times you ride the tea cups, you'll still have the tumor.<br/><br/>I don't know if anyone has explained the title, but it's quite clever. In the play ""Julius Caesar,"" Caesar says, ""The fault, dear Brutus, lies not in our stars, but in us."" He means that men should not blame fate for their failures but look to their own shortcomings. John Green turns that idea on its head by showing powerful examples of people who have done little that we would call wrong, yet they suffer anyway just because that is the kind of universe we inhabit. I'm not as cynical as Green is on this issue, but I recognize that ""the problem of evil"" is a thorny issue that does not yield to easy answers. If I am being honest, I don't think I could formulate a cogent response to a 17 year old girl who asks, ""What did I do to deserve this cancer in my body?"" In a general sense, I can say that pain has a useful function in nature because it tends to motivate organisms to doing healthy things and avoiding harmful things. In a religious vein, I might say, this is not the world we were made for, but it is merely a testing ground for a life to come. If people suffer here, they will be recompensed in the next world with joy. If people cause others to suffer here, they will be recompensed in the next world with pain. So if Hazel suffered here, maybe she will have an amazing time in heaven. Yet while she was on earth, she didn't know and she didn't believe that she would get anything for her suffering. And she didn't have any choice in the matter. If I'm being honest, I must say that strikes me, as at least unfair, and more likely, a situation of significant injustice.<br/><br/>These are the questions this fine novel will put in your head. And it's also a fun ride, tinged with beauty, grace, and humor.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1MEWMHAACKK4V?ASIN=014242417X	Triumphant heartbreak of star-crossed love & respectful, realistic expression of cancer in fiction -- THE FAULT IN OUR STARS	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I don't read ""cancer"" books. I don't like to think about death, which is perfectly normal. I'm more of a dystopian and vampiric fiction reader. But, THE FAULT IN OUR STARS isn't about death; it is about the process of dying. That makes all of the difference.<br/><br/>My niece is watching a movie on her school iPad and asks me to join her. She is part-way through the film, but, at thirty-one, I still enjoy palling with teenage relatives. A few sodas, bag of Chex mix, and pile of tissues later, the credits are rolling. I am crying. She is crying. We are survivors, bitter-sweet as it is to have loved and lost to cancer...again. It was just like real-life: my mother, her aunt, two years ago this month. So, of course I have to read the Jonathan Green's book too.<br/><br/>A FAULT IN OUR STARS is not about death. It is about how to die, which, if you think about it, is really about how to live your best life while you still have the chance to live it. That is the battle for Hazel, Gus, and Isaac. The three bond in and out of a support group for depressed teenagers in the stages of cancer. Hazel has lung cancer. Gus has bone cancer. Isaac has a rare eye cancer. While they live, each discovers in herself capacities for wit, wisdom, flirtation, aggression, sacrifice, love, and individuality, partly because walking hand-in-hand with shadows gave them the courage or means or freedom to do today what may not be able to be done  tomorrow.<br/><br/>Writing this novel from a YA perspective focused the emotional content. An older narrator would be reflecting upon her first kiss, graduation, marriage, and child's first steps, while Hazel is still striving to make these memories. Hazel has just recently met her favorite book - the book which surpasses all others - and is terrified of not being alive to read its sequel. The concentration on dating takes cancer out of the hospital and hospice sick-room, into the everyday. Cancer patients exhibit feelings about their illness, but the author never lets readers forget that they hold opinions, fears, and emotions related to commonplace stresses - school, family, friends, money, etc. Cancer patients are still human beings, not identifiable only as their condition.<br/><br/>But the youthfulness of the narrator and her friends does not disallow deeper subject matter into THE FAULT IN OUR STARS. One topic under frequent discussion is evolution and how the fight to keep cancer patients alive goes against the emergence of the human species, propetuating our  ""side-effects,"" cancer patients as unhealthy mutations in the long-term survival battle of our species. Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs is debated. The author also  puts forward unsubtle parallels between Anne Frank, the main character of Hazel's favorite book, and Hazel herself. Opening these discussions does not disrespect cancer victims, but helps to air their feelings of being ""grnades''"" in the lives of those around them and brings to light some of the darker faults of an inbittered spirit drawning in fear.<br/><br/>There are many ways to die. Quietly and peacefully in the bed without pain is rare. Author Jonathan Green is realistic about cancer's effects without asserting its more morbid aspects. Somehow, he takes a novel on star-crossed love and creates the most triumphant heartache from fictional sorrow. Green shows ultimate respect for cancer patients and their caregivers through his realistic attitude.<br/><br/>Cancer is a fight. Battle is brutal. Not everyone goes quietly into their good-night.<br/><br/>* * * * * * * * * * * * *<br/>Quotes from THE FAULT IN OUR STARS:<br/><br/>Chapter 2:<br/><br/>I liked Augustus Waters.

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1SJLWK7V0TFLL?ASIN=014242417X	Just as good as I had hoped, but not what I expected (in a very good way)	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">What did I think? Huh. Well, it was what I expected, but not. It definitely wasn't an easy mindless read. Which I wasn't expecting it to be, but it was much more ""cerebral"" and heavy than I had expected. I didn't expect the Peter Van Houten/book element, which I thought was interesting. About halfway through, I figured that Augustus would have a reoccurrence of cancer, but I didn't expect him to go down so fast and die (which were so sad and hard to “watch” happening). I obviously figured it would be Hazel who would die, and I think he left her “ending” unresolved the way Van Houten did with Anna in his book. Clever. I don't know....I've just got so many thoughts running through my mind about this book, that I don't really know what to say or where to start. So I guess I'll just write down the things that are going through my mind and hope it will make since in the end. :-)<br/><br/>I’m surprised that I have so many connections to this book. The first is the obvious. Cancer. When I was going through all my breast cancer stuff a year and a half ago, after I had my double mastectomy, they first told me that I had an 80% chance of NOT having a reoccurrence, and then changed it to 98% of NOT having a reoccurrence. Both percentages are REALLY good, but then (and sometimes now) I would think about the 2% - 20% chance that it COULD come back. That’s not a good place for your mind to go; therefore, I really don’t think about it much anymore. This is where the frightening connection to Augustus comes in. He had the same 80% chance of NOT having a reoccurrence of cancer, and yet, it came back with a vengeance and claimed his life quickly. I am getting closer and closer to the 2-year post diagnosis mark. My cancer had the potential of being very aggressive; and something would have come up sooner rather than later if I were to have a reoccurrence. So every week, month, and year that goes by, the more certain I feel that I will be fine, and November 16th, 2012 was the last day cancer was, and will be, in my body. ☺<br/><br/>Ok, back to the book. I have known about the author John Green for a while, and have wanted to read his books, but it was SO COOL to find out that he is from Indianapolis (where I’m from). Even cooler was the fact that this book takes place in Indianapolis around all the places that I know. The “Funky Bones” thing that they talk about in the book is at the Indianapolis Art Museum. It is really cool, and I took my boys their last summer and they had a so much fun playing on the bones and jumping back and forth between them. They also had a blast climbing the basketball “exhibit” that has big arches showing where basketballs could have bounced. This is also mentioned in the book. A very unexpected connection to this book is with the author. I was completely surprised to find out that someone that I grew up with, and our families have been good friends for what seems like forever, is friends with John Green. I guess they’re not just acquaintances, but they live close to each other and are very close friends. What?!?! This is where I got a little “fangirl”, because let’s face it, in my world right now, the authors I read are celebrities to me! Yes, it’s sad but true. :| So, imagine my surprise when I found out the book that everyone has been gushing over and is being made into a major movie, was written by someone that is good friends with a guy that I grew up with! So weird!!! Oh, by the way, my friends name is Chris Waters. Yes….Waters. Another “What the Heck!!!” moment while I was reading this book. AND the craziest thing is that as I was coming to the end of the book, it dawned on me that I “know” Augustus Waters, because he is Chris Waters. No, Chris never had cancer, but their personalities are SO much alike. This is where I’d love to talk to someone who grew up with Chris and has also read this book. Maybe it was just in my head, but I need to talk to his sister (who was my roommate twice) and see what she thinks. So Angie, if you’re reading this, I need to talk to you! ☺ They both have such a “swagger” about them. They both have very “larger than life” personalities. They are both very loving and caring people who make you feel special. They are both are very smart, and look at the world in a little different way.<br/><br/>So there you go. Those are just some of my thoughts about the book, The Fault in Our Stars. It was a good read, and I am looking forward to reading John Green’s other books.<br/><br/>Look in my pictures on my Goodreads profile to see two pictures I have posted that relate to this book. One is of the ""Funky Bones"" and the other is the basketball ""exhibit"". Both are mentioned in the book. :-)</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1ZRYN0OTID68Y?ASIN=014242417X	A True Romance	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The critically acclaimed novel, “Fault in our Stars” written by John Green has become one of my personal favorite books to read. I highly recommend this novel to those of all ages because I think this story will become a classic throughout time. Many can say that the novel resembles the similar plot of a typical love story, however, in my opinion I feel that it is held highest above all the rest. Not because it has a catchy title or because it was turned into a major motion picture (which is very good and I highly recommend the movie as well) but because to me the novel perfectly illustrates a TRUE romance. The novel is told in first person narrative by the main character Hazel Grace Lancaster, who is sixteen years old and has terminal thyroid cancer. One day when Hazel goes to here cancer support group she meets a young boy named Augustus Waters, who is seventeen years old and is a recent survivor of a bone tumor in his leg by partially amputating it. This is the bases of our story, where both their friendship and love begin. Hazel and Augustus have clashing perspectives on life and love. Hazel feels that she should be left alone in her despair where she can’t hurt her parents or anyone with her illness. Augustus on the other hand wants to embrace life to the fullest, and through his amazing life he will be immortalize and remembered forever. So there are our two opposing perspectives, one who wants to be remembered and one who wants to be forgotten. However in the mist of all that is going on in Hazel’s life she discovers a connection with Augustus that really helps free her from her own self imprisonment. And together, both Hazel and Augustus discover a new perspective on life and love through each other. Why I say this is not a typical love story but rather a true romance? It is because the love between these two characters is not created by clique experiences where they look into each other’s eyes and fall in love. It is created by brokenness, both of these characters are broken and lost in one way or another. They find ways to help one another heal and grow, and through this they fall in love. They learn that they are not label by their weaknesses and discover happiness bitter circumstances. This story is a true romance because it illustrates the way people are meant to love, to overcome things in life, and the way they are meant to discover themselves. The novel illustrates that thins we love and the people we love sometimes come with hard situations but we love them nonetheless. I think that’s why it’s titled “Fault in our Stars” because the fault is that we can only see the stars when we’re in darkness, but that unfortunate fact does not diminish our love for them. We still love and we still shine even with our faults. We learn to look up and see the light of the stars even in our darkest nights.</span>"

It has also been read by at least a quarter readers out there and at least five people in my Goodreads friends list. I was previously not too keen thinking this book as just another from Young Adult Love genre with a very tragic end. I finally made up my mind and began reading it and realized my prejudice completely shattered. This book has also won the Goodreads Choice Award in the category Young Adult Fiction in 2012(OK,  Now I HAD to read it).<br/><br/>The narration in the book is by the sixteen year old protagonist Hazel Grace who is suffering from thyroid cancer which has spread to her lungs. She is kinda witty and very normal and not too much of an ideal girl as they sometimes portray in those Mills and Boon series. She attends a support group for cancer patient where she meets Augustus Waters who also supports from osteosarcoma due to which one of his legs is removed and thus their bonding gets strengthened when he invites her home after the support group meeting for a movie where he thinks Hazel resembles the actress in the movie. Subsequently they keep meeting and thus their relationship begins and the reader never realizes how their acquaintance turns to relationship.<br/><br/>The book conversations and the video game sessions between Hazel and Gus(this is how he is referred most of the places) are their main relationship boosters and this is further strengthened when Gus gives fulfills Hazel’s wish of questioning the author of An Imperial Affliction which is her most favorite book about its incomplete end and the characters in the book. She also undergoes her first date, first kiss and first love during this trip and they realize their true love for each other.<br/><br/>However my most favorite character in the book remains Hazel’s mother who is constantly caring for her daughter never once feeling saddened or cribbing and finally deciding to move on with her career whilst caring for her daughter which is mentioned at the end of the book. Many conversations and quotes in the book are quite philosophical and for the thoughts alone I’m giving 3 stars out of 5.<br/><br/>This book never talks of the sad ending or about deaths and tragedy but reflects on surpassing all of that and talks more of living. Another one star for this. There are a lot of references to moving on and rays of hope and that is what makes this book very different from the other ones which talk of the sad things related to cancer. I would give it a 4/5 and to those who have refrained from reading this book due to the genre its associated with, its definitely worth a try.<br/><br/>Rating: 4/5(Philosophically Good)</span>"

The Fault in Our Stars by John Green is a wonderful novel about a teenage girl, Hazel Grace, who has been diagnosed with cancer and a boy Augustus Waters, who also has cancer. I recommend this book because it is full of life and a great story. The author tried to create a book about not being afraid of dying and living life to the fullest and I believe John Green accomplished that.<br/><br/> Hazel Grace Lancaster is an 18 year old girl diagnosed with thyroid cancer that made fluid go into her lungs. Throughout the book, Hazel is always struggling from her cancer, which results in her being depressed and always feeling like she’s dying. While attending a social event, she meets Augustus Water. Augustus Waters had cancer in his leg and had to have it amputated. After the event, Hazel and Augustus hang out and they both realize they like each other. They end up going to many places with each other; Amsterdam, on picnics, and even Hazel’s backyard. The end of the book results in a very surprising ending.<br/>The character Hazel is intelligent, kind, and very likeable. In addition, she is a main character. At the beginning of the book, she seems very shy. During the story, Hazel gradually starts to become more and more independent and more confident with herself. By the end of the book, Hazel is mature and overcomes her fear of rejection. I connected with Hazel throughout the book. The way the author described her loneliness at the beginning of the book helped me visualize her situation as a cancer patient.<br/><br/>Augustus Waters begins as a very open-minded, nice, and pleasant character. He is also one of the main characters. In the middle of the book, he realizes his love for Hazel. He is very charming towards her and very likeable. I connected with Augustus as well as Hazel after they met. The way the author described their relationship helped me visualize the connection between them.<br/><br/>John Green created a suspenseful mood along with a happy tone. The settings were suspenseful, enjoyable, and thrilling. Some of the parts had me unsure of what was happening and it made it very suspenseful. Other times is would make me so happy and I enjoyed what was going on. In addition, the word choice is brilliant and makes it very easy to visualize.<br/><br/>In conclusion, I recommend this book for teenage girls. Anyone who is interested in a love story, a sad story, or a good book will enjoy this novel by John Green. This book made me happy, sad, and thrilled while reading it and is worth looking at.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2FH6MOLZI3128?ASIN=014242417X	SOBBED LIKE A BABY! ADORABLE STORY!!!!!!!!!!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I can’t believe it took me this long to read this amazing book. Well, partly because of how sad it was and I already knew how it was going to end (got spoiled). But nonetheless, I absolutely loved this book to pieces and finished it the day before the movie came out. Bawled my eyes out while reading (which was hard not to completely drown in my tears, I was babysitting and didn’t want to wake the baby). I bawled again (even harder) while watching the movie. I’m so glad I hosted a read-a-long to this book, because knowing myself, I would have pushed it off even more just because of how sad this book is. I usually don’t make myself read sad books. I’m a very emotional person so it doesn’t take much for tears to start forming in my eyes. I’m such a baby, but oh well.<br/><br/>I just adored John Green’s writing style and how easy it was to fall into Hazel’s head and completely imagine what was going on. Even while watching the movie, it felt as if it was a reality TV show or something so real! I adore Hazel and Augustus’ relationship. Everything about this book honestly was amazing. I knew going into the book that I would absolutely adore it, no question. I knew that. It was the tears and sadness that kept pushing me away from reading. I surprisingly didn’t have a hard time picking up another book, which I thought was going to cause a problem after reading. Possibly cause a reading slump, but no, thankfully I had no problems picking up another book!<br/><br/>I definitely cannot wait to read more of John Green’s books! His writing style is definitely amazing and so perfect, and I’m hoping that his others will be just as good! I have never marked a book this much in my life (I use post-it flags to mark favorite places). I have maybe around 25+ flags in the book! So with that said, there will be A LOT of favorite quotes!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3JYCFZ49OJGOB?ASIN=014242417X	Overly pretentious teens and unrealistic romance	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">One of the surest ways for dissapointment is high hopes. This was the biggest fault I found in The Fault in our Stars. I had been hearing about the book (and movie) and how amazing it is for over a year before I finally got my hands on a copy. While I enjoyed reading it, it didn't give me the happy spark many of my favorite books gave me. As I was pondering some of the big draws to the book (the romance, the trip) I thought about if those things would still have engaged me without the terminal illness, and the answer was no. Therefore, I rated this book at 2.75 stars (maybe even 2.5 at my grumpiest/most cynical).<br/><br/>Now, before you get all huffy, I realize this is a book about teens with cancer. I also realize that there are far too many teens with cancer out there living similar lives to the characters in the book (if only less grand). However, like Hazel muses about over and over in the book, just because you live doesn't mean that the universe owes you an extraordinary story or impact. I actually liked the parts that were more cancer-focused (rather than plot focused) like the scene toward the end of the book when Hazel realizes she was the healthiest person in the room. Or the purely teenagery parts when she steals off to a corner of a mall to get away from the friend she had faded away from AND her helicopter mom. Those were the most real, and the most enjoyable to me.<br/><br/>The reason this book failed for me was the seemingly forced romance between Hazel and Gus. If this story were about two teens brought together because they were both injured in a car crash involving a drunk driver (or something like that) and were not terminally ill, the love story and description of its development would simply fall flat. It's as though people read ""terminally ill"" and immediately jump to finding one's soul mate/true love before anything else. Of course they fell in love, they both have cancer! Which is, quite simply, poor planning and a weak explanation.<br/><br/>The other big negative for me was the unrealistic portrayal of the high school aged teens. What adult talks and thinks like that, let alone a teenager who hasn't been to school in three years and watched ANTM marathons? Not to say you need to go to school to be smart or to say there is anything wrong with watching junky TV, it just seems like Hazel was very isolated and would not have the opportunity to create such definitively held beliefs nor the ability to communicate them in a witty, funny way with people her age. Even Gus seemed to be a bit over the top in that regard. Every moment of their dialogue seemed forced and unrealistic to me.<br/><br/>However, it was a quick and entertaining book. I can see why people enjoy it, I just don't see how it has gotten hyped up as one of the best romantic, or even cancer-centric, novels out there.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3APFV5M0AQ0NS?ASIN=014242417X	Apparently if you are a girl you aren't supposed to like V for Vendetta....STILL A GOOD BOOK THOUGH	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I didn’t want to do it. I really didn’t. I resisted for a while and would have kept resisting, but one of my friends got a free copy from the publisher so I decided to read it. That’s right. I read The Fault in Our Starts. I read the book, which was the cause for me almost getting killed at BookCon (not really, but really it could have happened.)<br/><br/>Now I have never read a John Green novel before. I have resisted doing so until now. This book has changed my mind about John Green. I would now like to go and read all of his books and make sure that I really do like his books. Many people have told me that The Fault in Our Stars is not his best book so I am excited about the idea that there is something better out there.<br/><br/>Before you ask, no I haven’t seen the movie. Now I am going to. I was going to see the movie no matter what but now that I have read the book I really am going to see it.<br/><br/>At the beginning I was a little doubtful. There were some words that I felt didn’t really fit. Example, she describes the main guy Gus as “dead sexy”. I don’t know if a 16 year old really thinks of guys as “dead sexy”.  Also she mentions that he makes her “skin feel more like skin” (pg. 31). “He kind of turned me on” (pg. 17). I did not like such descriptions. They seemed a little cheesy, but it may just because I am older and not a 15-year-old girl.<br/><br/>I did really like Gus. I thought he was cute. He had some great qualities such as not trying to actually win video games, but save innocents/Hazel. He had some great lines and I did cry when he died.<br/><br/>One thing I liked about this book was the mortality of the characters. There isn’t any focus on characters who don’t have cancer. Cancer seems like something you really don’t truly understand unless you have it, someone close to you has it or you know someone who has died of it. Cancer is this big scary thing that we really don’t understand and we really can’t even do anything about.<br/><br/>It did take me a little while to get into the story, but I eventually got it. I might enjoy it more if I read it a second time, but I don’t know. I liked his style of writing. I thought there were some really great lines.<br/><br/>“I want to minimize the number of deaths I am responsible for” (pg. 28).<br/><br/>“You put the killing thing right between your teeth, but you don’t give it the power to do its killing” pg. 20<br/><br/>H: “I’m trying to observe young love in its many splendor awkwardness”<br/>G: “Yes its difficult to ascertain whether he is trying to arouse her or perform a breast exam”  pg. 19<br/><br/>Isaac: “Thank you for explaining that my eye cancer isn’t going to make me deaf” pg. 15<br/>One thing that I will harp on is the focus on V for Vendetta in this movie. Hazel is supposed to look like Natalie Portman in that movie. I accepted this, even liked it cause not many people can pull off the shaved head look as a girl and look good. Natalie Portman is one of those women though. HOWEVER I was not happy with how Hazel handled this movie. Example: “Pixie haired gorgeous girl dislikes authority and can’t help fall for  a boy she knows is trouble” (pg. 17). THAT IS AN EXTREMELY OVERSIMPLIFIED EXPLANATION OF THAT MOVIE. V for Vendetta is one of my favorite movies. It is probably my significant others favorite movie. Now Hazel says “It was kind of a boy movie. I don’t know why boys expect us to like boy movies. We don’t expect them to like girl movies” (pg. 35). What? NO. I am a girl. I have seen this movie. I love this movie. I disagree that it is a girl movie. I think this movie is too complicated to have in this book. They are not on the same level. John Green is diminishing the awesome nature of this movie in this book. I hated the whole part about V for Vendetta.<br/><br/>Overall, I do give it a 4/5. I really did like it. It wasn’t too long, it was just certain things that I really didn’t like.<br/><br/>If you are a girl and haven’t seen V for Vendetta, go watch it. like right now.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R34QUWPE0GDAC5?ASIN=014242417X	they quickly bonded over their love of the books An Imperial Affliction and The Price ...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars is about two star- crossed lovers who have a unique relationship created from wit and a similar perspective of being physically disabled. The story is told from a person account by a young girl named Hazel Lancaster. Hazel is a 16 year old girl who suffers from Thyroid cancer and long-settled satellite colony in her lungs. She lives a depressing life as she hasn’t gone to school in three years and attends support group often. In support group, Hazel befriends a boy named Isaac who has a form of eye cancer. One day, Isaac brought another boy named Augustus Waters to support group so he could announce that he would be going blind very soon. Augustus is 17 and he had Osteosarcoma a year and a half prior which resulted in Augustus’ leg being removed and being placed with a prosthetic.<br/>After that day, they quickly bonded over their love of the books An Imperial Affliction and The Price of Dawn series. An Imperial Affliction was Hazel’s favorite book written by Peter Van Houten about a girl who suffers from cancer and how her mom copes with it while her mom meets the Dutch Tulip Man. Hazel and Augustus read the book and have deep discussions on lingering questions they would ask the author about the book if they ever had the chance. Due to the fact that all cancer kids receive a wish from the “ genies”, Augustus thought he would surprise Hazel with the idea of going to Amsterdam to meet Peter Van Houten and that became the first time Augustus told Hazel that he loved her. Hazel began to have a fluid problem which nearly caused the trip to be cancelled but it continued as planned. On their first full day in Amsterdam, Hazel and Augustus went to finally ask the questions about their favorite book to Peter Van Houten. Not only did Van Houten not answer Hazel’s questions but he stated his opinion on the harsh reality of a being a cancer patient which sent the two kids over the edge. Van Houten’s assistant apologized for his behavior as she drove Augustus and Hazel to the Anne Frank house. This is where Augustus and Hazel shared their first kiss followed by their first time having sex back at the Filosoof, their hotel in Amsterdam. Then the truth came out about Augustus’ real physical condition. Augustus’ cancer came back and it continued to get worse.<br/>Things just weren’t the same after the Amsterdam trip. About a month after the trip, Augustus had Isaac and Hazel write obituaries for him because he knew he would die and surely enough he died eight days later. A plot twist as Hazel was in worse condition in the beginning but Augustus is the one who died in the end. The funeral took place in the basement of the nearby church and Hazel and Isaac spoke. The surprise is that Peter Van Houten showed up to apologize at Augustus’ funeral. He explained that he struggled to talk to Hazel and Augustus because he had a young daughter who died of cancer and he had no companionship other than his paid assistant and hazel understood. Augustus had sure enough written something to Van Houten about Hazel just before he died.  It stated the details about their love story and how Augustus was lucky to love someone like Hazel. The Fault in Our Stars portrayed a unique love story for two unlikely people.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3FEOZRVOUPW6I?ASIN=014242417X	Hijacked Characters	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I'm going to give all my compliments here at the beginning, so  that no one thinks of this as one of those negative reviews. See the stars I gave it? 5/5.<br/><br/>This book was fantastic. The message was thought provoking, the characters were lovable (at least after a while), the plot was interesting enough, although a bit depressing. If I had to rate all the books I've read in the past year, this would probably be Number 1.<br/><br/>Romance novels aren't exactly my cup of tea, but I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and pretty much everything about it. That's why I feel I'm capable of giving a little...critique, I suppose the word is.<br/><br/>I'm not going to be one of those jerks who says that the teenagers didn't speak or act or think like teenagers. First of all, that's kinda how I think, speak, and act, so who is an adult to say that's wrong? Secondly, once you're sure you're going to die, you start to think, speak, and act differently.<br/><br/>So you might be wondering what I have to criticize about this. I'll tell you: it is fine for the main character to think like she did. She seems very mature, and she's been forced to mature even faster. I'll even say it's okay for Gus to think that way, because he's had similar experiences and, you know, they're kinda-sorta soulmates. But when practically every character speaks, thinks, and acts that way (except for the loathed non-cancer-people...what are they called?), the voices start to blur together.<br/><br/>For you nerds out there (or anyone with the hots for Jennifer Lawrence, Hugh Jackman, or assorted others), I ask you to remember a scene from the recent movie X-Men Days of Future Past. (Small Spoiler Alert). In one scene, Raven is walking through an airport while Charles speaks to her through the people around her. They sound like they should--their actual voices are the same--but they speak like Charles. That's because that's all it is. Raven can tell immediately that it's Charles speaking, because he talks like Charles. Well that and other things.<br/><br/>Back to the point. I think that in the same way, John Green ""hijacks"" the voices of his characters, so that they all speak the same ways. It's actually pretty easy to overlook, and I think in a way, it's not about the individual characters because they're all gonna die anyway. So maybe that's why it's okay for some people to talk the same. Who knows but John Green. Maybe someone will travel to ask him.<br/><br/>Oh yeah, and did I mention every characters' deep hatred of people who haven't experienced cancer? Does everyone with cancer hate us without it? Or is that just Hazel?</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3LCIEFPTAPLCV?ASIN=014242417X	Humorous and heartbreaking	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">When I started reading this book I found it unexpectedly hilarious and kept laughing out loud. My husband started asking me why it was so funny and what was it about. I responded by explaining how it was a book about teens with cancer... And he then looked at me like I was insane, because how could that possibly be humorous?<br/><br/>And yet it is. It truly is. It's also predictably a serious tear-jerker. An emotional roller-coaster that makes you feel so many different emotions. I love how each character tackles their battle in a different way, and how teenage angst and rebellion puts a new spin on the tragedy of cancer. Everyone's just trying to cope in their own ways, and heal in their own ways. It's heartbreaking, and heartwarming all at the same time.<br/><br/>I recommend you read this for real and not just wait for the movie to come out. I finished it in a few days, it was really hard to put down. It deserves to be read, not just watched. I can't imagine how Hollywood can possibly capture the mix of humor and tragedy as well as the written word does.<br/><br/>It did seem a little unbelievable how smart and well rounded these characters were. I don't know many adults that are as smart and analytic as the main character, and the witty banter she carries out with everyone else seems to channel Gilmore Girls dialog. But hey it's fiction and it's nice to see a story that gives young people more credit for possessing unique and deep thoughts, and for making good decisions and being selfless, instead of teens just mooning about their teenage vampire love interests... If my daughter was older, these are the type of characters I'd want her to look up to. That doesn't mean it's just a story for teens, I'm 30 and I thoroughly enjoyed it and felt challenged by the themes, and thoughts, but I am glad that a story like this is being made into a movie that the next generation of teens will see because it provides better role models I believe.<br/><br/>Anyway... To sum up, really touching story that makes you feel a variety of emotions. I loved it and you should definitely read it!</span>"

I happened to snag some advanced screening tickets and took my friends (five total) to go watch it. My friend who had read this was beyond ecstatic and so I had high hopes for this movie. She had warned me that I would probably cry. I scoffed at the thought of me crying because I am not one to cries in public but when I watched the movie I was proven wrong. So many people were crying some were wailing. In the end I could not hold in my tears and they spilled. So my friends and I were all sitting together crying, I was crying, they were crying and my nose was running and I was a mess because I absolutely fell in love with the story and I couldn't stop crying over Augustus and Hazel. So many feels! So I knew I had to read it ASAP.<br/><br/>Thoughts after reading it:<br/><br/>I still loved the book even after having watched the movie. I realized there were a few things the movie left out but the quality of the movie wasn't affected because they kept intact what absolutely mattered. Augustus and Hazel. I thought that after having watched the movie this book would not affect me as much emotionally but John Green has such a way of writing that I still got plenty of feels throughout the book. I know I was so late in reading this book so many of you have already read it but for those of you who haven't I highly suggest it. Some are weary about reading this book because it is about kids with cancer. Yes this is indeed a sad topic but this book shows us how some infinities are bigger than other infinities and we must take into account the time we have and make do with what little we may have. It doesn't mean our time is inferior to another person's because they had more time than us. They can both be just as great if not greater.<br/><br/>The book begins with Hazel who has been diagnosed with depression. Which is a side effect in cancer patient or so she is told. She comes to her own conclusion that depression is not a side effect of cancer but rather is a side effect of dying and that cancer is by extension a side effect of dying as well. Hazel's mother begins to take Hazel to a support group with other teens with the best intentions. It is there that Hazel meets Augustus Waters and the story begins to unravel. It is clear that there is a strong connection between Hazel and Augustus but Hazel doesn't want to be more than friends because she knows she is a terminally ill patient and wants to limit the people she hurts around her to a minimum but this task becomes very difficult when Augustus clearly doesn't seem to have the same intentions.<br/><br/>Yes pick this book up you will fall in love with it, you will cry and in the end you will want to watch the movie as well if you haven't done so already.</span>"

My mother suggested that the two clouds were a symbol. The dark cloud, in her guess, was a symbol of the sickness, and the white, the symbol of the hope and friendship between the two main characters. While her guess seems to be the best I've come across, I know not what was going on in the cover designer's mind when formulating this design.<br/> *spoilers* in this next section. Proceed with *caution*.<br/><br/>The Content~ The plot was thoroughly thought out and well placed, however a bit predictable. I know everyone says it was totally unpredictable, however if John Green is a good author (which I believe he is),  he will kill or hurt the character everyone will least expect him to do something to. I was still saddened though when he met my favorite character with a terribly unhappy ending. I did not (I know ""bad me""), however cry when this happened. I know, I have already been told that I have no soul. There is no need.<br/><br/>Character Development~ I have to be honest, I feel like Green was a bit lacking in this department. I saw a bit of growth happen with the Hazel character, but feel as if the Augustus character didn't go anywhere. At times I found Hazel annoying and had trouble identifying with her. Hazel's parents were interesting characters who, I believe, showed quite a bit of development trough the story.<br/><br/>Would I read the second book?- I can't imagine what a second book would be...

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RE9MQ8MWISRN7?ASIN=014242417X	Full of Feels, Definitely lived up to the hype!!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I was traveling down to florida, a long 12 hour journey ahead of me, I found myself with a perfect opportunity to listen to my audio book of The Fault in Our Stars. I had heard so many raves about TFIOS, and that even though it was in a genre I normally don't read, I was feeling very tempted to try it out.... I AM SO GLAD I DID.  I loved it so much I didn't want my trip to end, I just wanted to continuously drive until it was done.<br/><br/>I don't want to give away too much of the story because I was pleasantly surprised that the plot was still very much a surprise to me. Even though everyone talks about this book and there are endless movie trailers for TFIOS, I was very surprised that they did not give away the plot for the book. TFIOS follows Hazel, as a young girl suffering from lung cancer, and Hazel meets Augustus at a group meeting.  TFIOS follows these two as they battle cancer, friendship, and living each day like it might be your last.<br/><br/>The situations that Hazel and Gus deal with, no matter how difficult, are met with humor, sarcasm and wit. They both had a way of handling their hard situations with words that was just... perfect! I personally don't have the words to describe it, but I have no doubt that Hazel and Gus would !<br/><br/>About the Audio Book.<br/>I don't have too much experience with listening to audio books. I have listened to a few, however this was hands down the BEST AUDIO BOOK I HAVE EVER READ LISTENED TO. I didn't think it made a difference on who the audio book was read by, I was wrong! TFIOS was read by Kate Rudd and it was extremely easy to listen to. I felt like she embodied the spirit of Hazel and read every line with as much wit and sarcasm that each line deserved. I listened to this audiobook as easily as I could watch a movie. I laughed, I cried, It was an amazing experience and I highly recommend this audiobook, and any audiobooks that Kate Rudd read whole heartedly.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3IN26I1G2S4BP?ASIN=014242417X	I laughed and cried and hope you do as well...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I was skeptical at first about reading this book. The way the cover looks, and all the hype about it recently, made me feel like it might be another 'tween-thing', not unlike the Twilight series. I read some good reviews on it, and saw the decent ratings, so I thought, ""Why the heck not?"". And I don't have any terminal illness myself but I thought that it would be interesting to read about someone's perspective on life who does.<br/><br/>Right off the bat, I actually enjoyed her sarcasm. It might be appalling to some people to joke about death in the ways that the main character (Hazel) does, but I think if I was in the same situation, I probably would too. Hazel made me realize that she has every right to be sarcastic and joking when it comes to her situation, especially since she is constantly being treated like someone with a terminal illness. You know, the ""Oh you poor thing..."" comments and looks.<br/><br/>The story also somewhat appealed to the young adult in me with it's love interest. The fact that she keeps pushing away and he (Augustus) keeps pushing back makes you absolutely yearn for them to just GET TOGETHER ALREADY! Plus, it was a beautiful thing, too young adults with possibly deadly illnesses finding tentative, but honest love.<br/><br/>I think this book offers so much more though than a 'tween-like' love interest. It really puts cancer and other diseases into perspective for the reader. I know it has me reviewing the ways that I think about and treat people who may be sick or dying, or those who have experienced loss. It made me realize that those type of people might act out harshly, do something crazy, or push others away, and I can't jump to conclusions about someone like that, because I've never experienced the type of questions they have to ask themselves, and the pain that they've gone through.<br/><br/>It really is a beautiful story for any age. I laughed and cried. I hope you do as well...</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1L7DRUFQWKBP1?ASIN=014242417X	A beauty and beast story of romance and tragedy.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Posted first to Blog Critics as Book Review:'The Fault in our Stars' by John Green.<br/><br/>Cancer is such a dreadful disease, indiscriminate in its choice of victim, choosing with aplomb regardless of age, gender or status.  There are a myriad of stories behind the tragedy and many of them remain untold.<br/><br/>In The Fault in Our Stars by John Green, he builds a story out of darkness and despair.  He takes the tragedy of cancer and immerses us in the lives of characters that could very well be real. Many know of the heartaches in dealing with those who fight the fight, and many of those scars last a lifetime.  He brings his story in the form of a teen girl, Hazel Lancaster.  Stricken with cancer from a young age, she believes she has come to terms with what her life has become. Then she meets a young man, Augustus Waters, a survivor of cancer. He is drawn to her in a way that is initially uncomfortable, and as she tries to push him away in her sarcastic vein, he finds her to be exactly the type of girl he has been looking for.  Throughout the story there is a beauty and humor, a ‘candle in the wind’ for each of those whose lives have been touched by such an uncaring disease. For cancer touches not just the victim but all those who love and are in anyway touched by them.<br/><br/>Be prepared for a story of romance and anger, excitement and humor, and friendship and bravery for that is the direction we are led as Green develops the personality of a group of teens that have the courage to bring both laughter and tears.  The story’s that encircle each individual gives you a glimpse of the character and daring as well as the abiding hope.  Hidden within that strength they also hide the depression and hopelessness as they try hard to protect their family and friends by showing only the smiles and strength whenever possible.<br/><br/>Written so beautifully your heart and emotions melt, you come to be a part of this group as well as their families, their triumphs and their losses. The friendships as well as the depths the families go through preparing for the worst while holding out hope is like a beacon of light.<br/><br/>The courage and humor, the energy and despair all keep you on a roller coaster of emotion.  Green takes you on a journey both terrible and beautiful.<br/><br/>While a difficult book to categorize I found it to be one of the most important finds of the last few years. Green shines a light on cancer in a way that sends a tremor of intent awareness, an incandescent monument to those that have both won and lost the fight, as well as the damage done to those closest.

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is a VERY popular book and I finally got around to reading it because I kept hearing things about it. It took some young women from my church to get me to finally sit down and read it! First things first. Did I cry...nope. Everyone I've talked to told me they sobbed and cried like a baby when reading this story. I got a LITTLE misty eyed but I didn't cry. I can totally see what people cried though. it's a very heart warming story and you become attached to characters almost from page 1.<br/><br/>The story is about a girl named Hazel who is is in remission from problems with her lungs that have left her lungs weak and so she will always need the aid of an oxygen tank wherever she goes. She as a character (to me) seemed very bitter with life and what has happened to her, I felt like she secluded herself due to her illness and withdrew herself from life and people other than her parents and even then I felt like she kept them at a distance because she knew that death would always be lurking for her.<br/><br/>Hazel hates going to support group, that is until a guy-a very cute guy-won't stop staring at her, name Augustus or Gus.<br/><br/>Gus is also in remission from bone cancer that took part of one leg. He is the most uplifting and happy guy there who regardless of what life has thrown him gives and takes from life at its fullest and as a reader you just fall in love with him. He is pure awesomeness.<br/><br/>As Gus and Hazel interact the character development on Hazel's side was subtle and well written you could see her grow and change because a boy saw her differently instead of seeing her ""handicap"" or ""illness.""<br/><br/>It truly is a wonderful story and I can see why people gravitate to it. It's a coming of age, and a coming to terms, and a live-life-to-it's-fullest story that draw people in.<br/><br/>However I do warn people (or young adults) that there is some content that may be inappropriate. just be aware.<br/><br/>Sexual Content: moderate (PG-13,with the understanding that 2 characters sleep together-once, some innuendoes from a hormonal side character)<br/>Language: moderate (PG-13)<br/>Violence: mild<br/>Drugs/Alcohol: mild (there is a character who is a drunk)</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2N5ZQLQJAVUB4?ASIN=014242417X	Passionate love story and encouraging life lessons	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars is about a teenage girl named Hazel Grace who is battling to just live as much as a normal life as she can while battling cancer. She was fortunate enough to live past the age the doctors believed she wouldn’t make it past in her younger years. The battle she was struggling through was her failing lungs; she constantly had to carry around her oxygen tank, which really was her life support. Going through life day by day battling cancer really caused her to have a higher maturity level than most teens would have at her age. She lived vicariously through the book An Imperial Affliction by Peter Van Houten. The reason she enjoys it so much is because she can relate to the book since it is about a cancer patient in itself. Her insight on life seems a little dark because she doesn’t feel like she has to set a purpose in the world, since everyone just dies anyway. This book encourages her beliefs on this, which actually gives her some sort of peace. Little did she know, her perspective on life took a complete turn for the best when she met Augustus Waters in their “cancer survival group”. Augustus is full of life and believes that his purpose in life is to be bold and leave a mark in the world. The passion he has for Hazel is the most heartwarming thing to read about. He goes completely out of his way to make Hazel feel like the beautiful girl she is, and makes it known how much she is truly loved in this world. Together they take on the world together enjoying the passionate love they have for each other.<br/> When I saw the previews about The Fault in Our Stars, I was automatically hooked and wanted to read this book. My grandfather passed away from cancer, and he has been my ultimate inspiration throughout my life; when I found out this book was about battling cancer I knew I needed to read it. This book is very organized, and definitely keeps you questioning how things will end up working out for the very end. John Green does an excellent job at revealing the characters emotions to where it really does feel like you are experiencing what is going on in their life alongside them.<br/>  I absolutely love romantic stories, and this one truly gives you a definition of the value of love and how important it is for one not to take another for granted. One of the quotes from this book that really stuck out to me was when Hazel was telling Augustus not to fall in love with her because she doesn’t know how long she has left to live; as a response to this, Augustus says, “Oh, I wouldn't mind, Hazel Grace. It would be a privilege to have my heart broken by you.” It is evident he is absolutely head over heels for Hazel Grace, and couldn’t imagine life (for as long was allotted) without her. I fell so in love with how incredible of a person Augustus is!<br/> What I also really enjoyed about this book is that it is very realistic, and not so to say “sugar-coated”. Reading this book really allows you to put into perspective how incredibly hard it must be to experience this battle of cancer. My dream is to be a Pediatric Oncology Nurse so this book really helped me to develop an even deeper understanding on what they go through physically as well as emotionally. This book is definitely a tearjerker; I cried so many times. The beauty of the book is the life lesson that we all should cherish each day given, because in the end we never really are given a set amount of time to live. The quote from the book that I feel suits this statement is when Hazel talks about the reason she enjoys Van Houten’s book. Hazel says, “That’s part of what I like about the book in some ways. It portrays death truthfully. You die in the middle of your life, in the middle of a sentence”. Another quote I really enjoyed that really inspires us to live and love to the fullest is this, “you gave me a forever within the numbered days, and I'm grateful.” So inspirational!<br/> I highly recommend this book to anyone. You will truly feel like a different person after reading this book because it is so encouraging to live in the best way you can.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RRMMMMOYD0D0C?ASIN=014242417X	GREAT READ- WORTH IT	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">More on my BLOG: http://chorescanwait.wordpress.com/2014/07/20/a-fault-in-our-stars/<br/><br/>Started and finished: 6/2/20/14-6/4/2014<br/>Rating: 4 stars (out of 5)<br/>Would I read again? Yes<br/>Would I recommend? Yes<br/><br/>Book Summary:<br/>Hazel Grace Lancaster and Augustus (Gus) Waters meet at a Cancer Kid Support Group to cope with having cancer; their mutual friend named Isaac also deals with his own battle and joins the two protagonists.  Hazel and Gus serves a fresh perspectives on cancer: about beating cancer as well as people’s reaction after death to those how have been beaten by cancer.  Hazel and Gus bond over a fictitious unfinished story called, An Imperial Affliction. They go to Amsterdam to talk to the author Van Houten in order to find the answers to their questions and find out what happens in the end of Imperial.<br/><br/>Book Review:<br/>The Faults in Our Stars starts out like a bad young adult book and I was skeptical at first when the two first characters meet.  Teen romances with an introduction of a “hot boy” immediately sets off alarms, making me think that this book isn’t going to be as good as everyone says it is. Keep reading- it is.  You will find yourself agreeing with Hazel’s honest perspectives on cancer and will relate to the characters who just want to make a difference in the world before they die. Don’t we all want that for ourselves?<br/>This story will stay with you for days.  The book will tie up loose ends if you pay attention.  To me, you will find some answers to “An Imperial Affliction” if you draw parallels to Hazel’s life.  For example, Hazel’s mom finds meaning and ways to continue which answers the question to what happens to the mother of the fictitious character.<br/>I did not particularly care for the plot line of Amsterdam and the character Van Houten. I thought that was contrived.  It didn’t add much to the story.<br/><br/>Favorite Quotes:<br/>I cannot find it right now but I remember it goes something to the effect of how “the universe sometimes wants to be felt.”  It was a commentary about how the unfair randomness of life serving terminal illness.<br/>“Almost everyone is obsessed with leaving a mark upon the world.  Bequeathing a legacy. Outlasting death. We all want to be remembered. I do.” (p.310)<br/><br/>Random thoughts: :<br/>I started reading this book because so many people kept talking about it. The movie was out and it was receiving a lot of attention.  There was a few sad parts in the book but didn’t cry like everyone said I would. Not sure if that’s more of a commentary about me.  The only regret I have about this book is that I picked up the cover that had the two kids on the front. I should have just stuck with the regular cover</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2GN4RIZQ0Z2EF?ASIN=014242417X	Our Faults	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I recently read the Fault in our Stars, and would like to post my own opinion on this book coming from the lips (or more like fingers) of my thirteen year old mouth.<br/>First off, I am no cancer survivor, and have never been diagnosed with a terminal illness. But despite my lack of anything cancer, I have known several people whose family members have either been suffering from it or have passed away. In the Fault in our Stars, I believe that they displayed the emotions of a sixteen year old, cancer fighting and sassy girl rather well.<br/>On some of the reviews I have read, some of the complaints go like this:<br/>""They don't realistically act or think like a normal teenager.""<br/>I find this kind of insulting. Just because some teenagers out there in the world decide to go around cussing, and acting like fools, I think it is rather ignorant to generalize all of us in the same category.<br/>Another complaint was written like this, and I paraphrase here:<br/>""Hazel talks likes she is so depressed."" Or something like that.<br/>Well, I have to mention this, Hazel is a sixteen year old girl who is diagnosed with a terminal illness of cancerous tumors inside of her lungs. She can't breath. She can't overexert herself. She can't run for long distances. If you knew yourself that you were most likely going to die before you reached your twenties, would you be jumping up and down with joy?<br/>In the TFiOS, I thought that John Green explored the passions of life and made the book a part of sadness and joy. Woven into each page was a message, and some were clearer than others. We just have to look harder.<br/>Hazel Grace was a character I could root for, not only because she was strong and sassy, but because she was enjoying life to its fullest with what time she was given. She didn't want to be stuck in one area, she didn't want to live her life in a wheelchair, so she did something about it. I think that is a message we can all take to heart. If there is something we truly want, like REALLY want, then go for it. If you can change it, great. But if you can't change it, then find some way to deal with it.<br/>Hazel also had a good head on her shoulders and a uh, formidable vocabulary, To be honest, I had to read it with a dictionary, because the simple fact is, I didn't exactly know what osteosarcoma or proverbial meant until I researched it. I would like to say I did, but I didn't. Just being honest here...<br/>All together, I think this book explored happiness and sadness, loss and gain, love and hate. There were some questionable things within its pages, but the main message behind it all easily overpowers anything I had a problem with (I'll go into more detail later after I get through praising it--praise first, criticism last). While I read it, it really got me thinking, and it totally implanted in my heart a sympathy for people with cancer, as well as a thankfulness for what I do have, not what I don't.<br/>But now, since nothing can be perfect, are the negatives. (I hope you weren't waiting for this part, because it is relatively short).<br/>1. I did not like all the cursing, I thought it was unnecessary. Someone with such a vast, dictionary imploring, vocabulary as Augustus and Hazel would not be using words like ""damn."" At least, not in my book.<br/>2. I did not like it that everything seemed anti-Jesus. Hazel would continually blast Him because she had cancer, she would curse him out in her thoughts, and there were several (frequent) parts where other people would do the same. Once again, just my opinion.<br/>3.  Some of the parts were a little unrealistic. Now, I won't go into some spill about how there is just no LOGIC or that it's just so improbable that it would happen, but I thought it was faintly unrealistic that Hazel's mother would allow her to reside in a hotel alone with some guy (who is super hot, and turns her daughter on) in a room out of her sight. If I was a parent, I can assure you, my daughter would NOT be going alone with no hot guy to a solitary place--unless of course they were married.<br/>4. Some of the characters all sounded alike. Sarcastic humor, witty comebacks, and a love for quotations. I loved the quotations by the way, so don't get me wrong.<br/>But that concludes my review on John Green's amazing book the FAULT IN OUR STARS. I would definitely recommend it to everyone out there, as a book that gets you thinking and thankful. I would give it a higher rating if I could, but unfortunately, an infinitesimal array of rating stars is not available on Amazon.<br/>Have a great life, and have a great time reading this book as well. You will NOT be disappointed.<br/><br/>  ~A Reviewer</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1GJGTIKDXFE5I?ASIN=014242417X	Van Houten	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Before reading this book, I had not seen the movie nor had any idea what was held between the front cover and the last page. I had no idea what it was based on, about or the message it portrayed; except it was ""your typical chick-flick"". As I started this book my interest hadn't been sparked until a few chapters in, yet I still continued through, hoping it's stereotype wasn't the only truth and emotion it entitled. I've never been much of a bookworm nor was the type of person who felt any emotional attachment to a novel let alone an author. I am not the kind of person who would take the time to write a review on some words some random guy wrote; yet here I am.  It may be a first but I feel I owe it to Mr. Green as Hazel did for Mr. Van Houten. Although I imagine Mr. Green in no way, shape or form portraying any resemblance to Van Houten personality wise. Like I had mentioned before it may be my boredom leading to maddness but I believe it is the book itself and the talent that lies in the mind of Mr. Green.  I fell in love with the plot, the characters, the selfless acts, the relationships and the realism along with everything else embedded in the few hundred pages. I fell in love with the bond and love the two shared; the epitome of as Gus` family recognized, ""not puppy love"" instead true love only some hope to find. I think the knowing of not having something last forever, only some unfortunately are constantly reminded, creates a much stronger and more genuine passion. I could go on and on, because 1. I'm very expressive about things I'm passionate about and 2. I really have never written a review before but to end it on a good note and hopefully reassure any in decisiveness or second thoughts, read this review and then I think we both know what the outcome will be. Also I want to thank Mr. Green, although this will probably never be seen or held to high enough standards for him to even consider reading my opinion, but thank you for showing me a new love for literature and he should know and be proud enough in his work that his writing truly does change lives.  I feel I owed a written and public appreciation towards Hazel and Gus as well knowing the story and the beginning of their ""little infinity"". I hope you all enjoy and take from this book as much I did! And just in case, Mr. Green, if you ever see this I would love a response; thank you!</span>"

I'd been disappointed by too many popular ""young adult"" books that were poorly written to appeal to its supposed dumbed-down audience.  When I eventually saw the preview for the movie, I felt like it would be a good story to see on the big screen, so I still didn't read anything further about the plot because I didn't want to spoil the upcoming movie for me.<br/><br/>Watching the movie in the theater was cathartic...and I was a big pile of emotional goo by movie's end.

He's a ""bad boy"" with a big heart.  He's protective, yet weak around me.  He's flirtatious.  He's confident.  He's intelligent.  He's witty.  He's sarcastic, but not hurtful.  He has a disability that may ward off others but that I find endearing because it makes him more human and caring.

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3KJI12NN365KT?ASIN=014242417X	Pretty great book. But, is this truly tattoo worthy?	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Before I read this book, I had seen so much merchandise put out for those who had. At first I thought ""Well, maybe it's just really good,"" then I saw tattoos. That's when I became intrigued. This book must be the new Harry Potter or something if everyone and their grandpas are getting tattoos of ""Okay?""""Okay."" So I bought the book. The book over all was great. It was well written(Plot wise) and what do you know, a totally expected death at the end. This book does have nice quotes and mind boggling ""philosophical"" meaning behind what seems to be every single detail in the book. However, with the all the rage, I'm a little upset to say that I was not moved. Not because I'm heartless, not because I just didn't understand the ""deeper meaning"" of the story, but simply because everything was so...expected. Also I can't say I enjoyed Mr. Green's writing style, while I know it made the story more realistic and personable, seeing it was from the point of view of a girl my age, it felt a little pushed and stale. Plus, this girl was supposedly ""different"" from normal girls. I felt it should have had a more mature feel since she was initially the main character. I actually rolled my eyes a few times while reading just because of the way the whole thing was narrated. I'm not saying it was a terrible book, really overall the one thing that killed it for me was the way it was written. Don't get me wrong, the story itself was heartwarming and heartbreaking, however, the writing style was to distracting. If it were presented a little better, perhaps, I may have felt more emotion for the male character's death, but unfortunately I had already expected this to happen and was not surprised like most who've claimed they cried at this sudden and tragic death. I feel that maybe John Green's other books might be more interesting, considering they may not be from the point of view of a young girl with cancer. I have to say he was not very...exceptional at it from what I'd gathered in The Fault Of Our Stars.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3JOIG6KDQGEKG?ASIN=014242417X	Devastatingly good!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">When I chose to read John Green's ""The Fault in Our Stars"" it was partially because the story is being adapted into a movie, and partially because I had heard the book is brilliant. Everything I have heard about this book is true; it is beautifully written, heart-wrenching, and physically impossible to put down.<br/><br/>TFIOS follows the misadventures of two teenagers whose lives have been dramatically shaped by cancer. Hazel Grace and Augustus Waters meet in a support group, and immediately find themselves drawn to each other. Hazel, who is introverted but highly analytical, begins letting charismatic and eccentric Augustus into her life. Hazel shares with him her favorite book, a fiction which has evolved into her emotional bible, but which ends abruptly in the middle of a sentence. This ultimately brings them together as they endeavor to learn how the story actually ends, and what becomes of its characters. As they pursue answers to their literary questions, Hazel and Augustus attempt to navigate the complications of living with cancer, together.<br/><br/>This book surprised me. I knew that it is geared towards the young-adult crowd, and didn't quite know what to expect. However, I was happily surprised to discover that Augustus and Hazels' story is told in a narrative that weaves beautiful prose with profound concepts which transcend any age bracket:<br/><br/>"" ""The world,"" he said, ""is not a wish-granting factory,"" and then he broke down, just for one moment, his sob roaring impotent like a clap of thunder unaccompanied by lightning, the terrible ferocity that amateurs in the field of suffering might mistake for weakness. "" (214).<br/><br/>While the language used is wielded in an intelligent manner, the story is still the narrative of a sixteen year old girl, and therefore has an undertone of mild cynicism throughout. However, it is a flavor of cynicism which supports a subtle analysis on how society and individuals approach terminal illness. Throughout the story, complex existential concepts are explored and analyzed, such as the universal fear of oblivion, and the speculation of an afterlife. Despite the gravity of the subject matter, there is a suprising note of wry humor throughout. The dialogue is witty and sharp.<br/><br/>TFIOS is essentially one long, beautifully composed commentary on the profound effect one person has on the world and the people in his or her life. It is a love story. It is not sugar-coated. Simply, ""The Fault in Our Stars"" is devastatingly good. If you are hunting for a book that will leave you with the warm and fuzzies, keep searching. But if your palate wants a read which will make you think -- and keep on thinking, long after the last page -- read this book.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I'm probably one of the last people on the planet to read The Fault in Our Stars. It feels like that anyway.<br/>Author John Green has a way of making these characters seem like real people and he infuses quirkiness and humor while he tells this story.<br/><br/>Hazel Lancaster is sixteen and has had terminal cancer for years. Augustus Waters is seventeen years old and is in remission. The two meet at a cancer support group. Also in the storyline are the teens family and friends.<br/><br/>When reading Young Adult, I have often found the teenage characters to be annoying and/or whiny, but that was not the case here. Hazel and Augustus are more mature than the usual YA characters, it has to do with their sickness and all that they have to go through. They view life differently than others. I really liked both of these characters.<br/><br/>The romance is sweet and just enough, without being too much. Green writes two people and makes them belong together. I also enjoyed that Hazel and Gus are readers, I like books that have books in them. One main aspect of the story is Hazel's trying to meet her favorite author.<br/><br/>This is a story about teenagers with cancer, but it is also a story about love, hope, courage and family.<br/>I do recommend it. I found The Fault in Our Stars to be a highly readable and moving story. Very emotional, yet somehow almost light at times. The film stays true to the book and this is one of those rare cases where I enjoyed both film and novel versions pretty much equally.<br/><br/>I read The Fault in Our Stars in a few sittings by the lake on lazy summer afternoons and thoroughly enjoyed it. I want to read more by this author.<br/><br/>disclaimer:<br/>This review is my honest opinion. I did not receive any type of compensation for reading and reviewing this book.

I grabbed the book from the center console. “How about I call you when I finish this?”<br/><br/>“But you don’t even have my phone number,” he said.<br/><br/>“I strongly suspect you wrote it in this book.”<br/><br/>He broke out into that goofy smile. “And you say we don’t know each other.”<br/><br/>I loved the humor in this book. Here is a bit of dialogue where Augustus and Hazel are talking with Augustus’ family:<br/><br/>“It’s just that most really good-looking people are stupid, so I exceed expectations.”<br/><br/>“Right, it’s primarily his hotness,” I said.<br/><br/>“It can be sort of blinding,” he said.<br/><br/>“It actually did blind our friend Isaac,” I said.<br/><br/>“Terrible tragedy, that. But can I help my own deadly beauty?”<br/><br/>“You cannot.”<br/><br/>“It is my burden, this beautiful face.”<br/><br/>“Not to mention your body.”<br/><br/>“Seriously, don’t even get me started on my hot bod. You don’t want to see me naked, Dave. Seeing me naked actually took Hazel Grace’s breath away,” he said, nodding toward the oxygen tank.<br/><br/>I loved the introspection.<br/><br/>“Without pain, how could we know joy? This is an old argument in the field of thinking about suffering and its stupidity and lack of sophistication could be plumbed for centuries but suffice it to say that the existence of broccoli does not, in any way, affect the taste of chocolate.”<br/><br/>And finally, I loved how a finite number of days can turn into a little infinity when you spend it with someone you love.<br/><br/>“There are infinite numbers between 0 and 1. There’s .1 and .12 and .112 and an infinite collection of others. Of course, there is a bigger infinite set of numbers between 0 and 2, or between 0 and a million. Some infinities are bigger than other infinities. A writer we used to like taught us that. There are days, many of them, when I resent the size of my unbounded set. I want more numbers than I’m likely to get… But, Gus, my love, I cannot tell you how thankful I am for our little infinity. I wouldn’t trade it for the world. You gave me a forever within the numbered days, and I’m grateful.”<br/><br/>I’ve seen a few reviews where the reader believes the language used by the teens in the book is too advanced for the characters to be believable. When I was a teen, intelligence and popularity seemed to have an inverse relationship. You risked being labeled a nerd if you were too smart. To fit in, I suspect many of us pretended to be less competent than we were. It’s sad, but true, at least from my experience. I applaud the way John Green created characters that were witty, erudite teens. Let’s give our young adults books that are intelligent and thought-provoking, books that may have them reaching for the dictionary, but I suspect our youth is far wiser than they sometimes let on.<br/><br/>I loved, loved, loved this book. It’s proof I don’t need a “happily ever after” to enjoy a book. After all, “the world is not a wish-granting factory.”</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RKF4XMYFLT545?ASIN=014242417X	A Story That Cuts Through the Hallmark Veil	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Two teenagers trapped in losing struggles with lethal forms of cancer find each other and then briefly find the richness of life that comes through the power of love.  Green cuts through all the schmaltz through his characters, who openly mock and despise any and all sentimentality that comes their way as they soldier through daily struggles against this deadly foe they know will eventually take their lives in a very unsentimental fashion.  Think of the normal cynicism and snarkiness of your average, intelligent teen, then add a huge dollop of a debilitating and lethal disease, then  cut through all the Hallmark attempts to gloss over this horrible and tragic state of affairs, and you've got Hazel Grace and Augustus.  Green writes with a sort of power that true honesty brings, and this brings his characters to life in ways that have inspired a growing number of people to pick up this book in their own journeys to somehow come to terms with life's tragic qualities and the emerging awareness that life is all too short, especially when tragedy cuts off life in unexpected ways.<br/><br/>This book inspires me to remember the part of our human history when plagues and diseases ravaged Europe in the Middle Ages.  That time also produced its own cynicism and despair, captured well by the artists, writers and poets of the time.  It also makes me wonder if there isn't another series of plagues and diseases at work today to grab the attention of so many young people.  Unlike my teenage years, today's teens can no longer be assured that they can go off to a place like school and be safe from someone armed with enough firepower to wipe out several dozen of them.  Nor can they depend on a place like a mall or a movie theater as safe places to go and have fun, when at any moment, some deranged shooter can spray hundreds of bullets their way in a matter of a few minutes.  There are also the broader life-threatening issues to consider--like climate change--which our youth seem to grasp better than we do.  Granted, these are not issues that Hazel Grace or Augustus spend much time wrestling with as they gather with other terminal teens in the Heart of Jesus.  But these are the issues swirling around all of us that may help us all connect with and appreciate the gallows humor wit and sardonic insights of children forced to grow up ahead of time by their suffering and by their impending erasure from the world by a death that looms darker by the day.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RHB4MTVBQ4Z5T?ASIN=014242417X	For a parent who lost a child to cancer, this book rings true	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">While not usually one for young adult books, I read John Green's The Fault in our Stars along with my 14-year-old for a summer read. The book has been getting a lot of press (and it is now a movie), and having lost my 6-year-old to cancer 14 months ago, I'm a bit attuned to cancer-related books. However, there are so many bad books out there, I was worried this would trivialize a clearly non-trivial topic.<br/><br/>While everyone's experience with cancer is different, Green gets it. Sure, I could argue details and teens with cancer will surely find issues to challenge, but this is believable. What struck me was how much he gets how cancer impacts a community, and especially a family. While the two teenagers, Hazel Grace and Augustus, are the ones dealing with life and death issues of cancer, we also see how their parents and friends handle it. Or don't. Toward the end of the book we hear about all these people showing support on Facebook, but it is clear they have been absent from the daily lives of these teenagers and their families.<br/><br/>As a result, and because of newly shared interests, the cancer community creates its own world. For nearly three years our family was part of that community at a Children's Hospital, and when we lost our son, we lost that community. The rest of the world, frankly, just does not get it. Green sees this alienation, sees how families respond, and respects that new world.<br/><br/>The title is great, as it a play on Shakespeare's Julius Caesar  where Cassius says to Brutus, ""The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, / But in ourselves, that we are underlings."" Green is saying is that the lives of Hazel Grace and Augustus have been created by outside forces. However, they take that ""fault"" and refuse to let the cancer rule their life. Their trip to Amsterdam is a slap in the face of the victim mentality they could assume.<br/><br/>Most telling is when Augustus identifies himself with his cancer. ""What am I at war with? My cancer. And what is my cancer? My cancer is me. The tumors are made of me. They're made of me as surely as my brain and my heart are made of me. It is a civil war, Hazel Grace, with a predetermined winner."" This reminded me of the time my oldest son was asking my youngest son with cancer, Oliver, about what kind of robot he would be if he could be a robot. As they talked about the traits, my oldest said, of course, that Oliver's robot would not have cancer. ""Yes it would,"" said Oliver. ""The cancer is part of who I am."" In other words, cancer patients begin to live with, and not against, this horrible disease.<br/><br/>The book also captures the experience of grief, and I don't think of giving away too much to say that in a book about cancer, there is grief. Hazel Grace describes it as when you are in pain and they ask you to rate it from one to ten. She never said ten. ""I called it a nine because I was saving my ten. And here it was, the great and terrible ten, slamming me again and again as I lay still and alone in my bed staring a the ceiling, the waves tossing me against the rocks then pulling me back out to sea so they could launch me again into the jagged face of the cliff leaving me floating faceup on the water, undrowned.""<br/><br/>That is harsh. That is true. And that is why this book is worth reading, whether or not cancer has entered your life. You get a real sense of what it is to live with cancer as a patient and a family. And the cancer community loses people all the time, so they get grief.<br/><br/>If any part of the book could be changed, it is a sexual encounter between two teens that could have been avoided. It adds nothing to a connection that is already there, and does not send the best message to teenagers (call me a prude, but there are other options in life).<br/><br/>As a parent who has lost a child, the book had me early on, when Hazel Grace (who narrates the book) says: ""There is only one thing in this world s***tier than biting it from cancer when you're sixteen, and that's have a kid who bites it from cancer.""<br/><br/>Not my words, but my feelings.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3BD6WFASL5XR8?ASIN=014242417X	Not what I expected	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">When I first heard all the buzz about this book, I figured it was just another poorly-written, weakly-plotted, teenage romance novel with cardboard characters and no depth; the Twilight series without the vampires and gore. I guessed it was a book targeted to an audience of naïve teenagers (and this is not meant to be an insult to all teenagers), who had no literary sense and no expectations. Well, I'm about to eat my words (more accurately, confess to my rash judgment).<br/><br/>First of all, I am the most unlikely person to read such a book for a number of reasons. 1) I am 67 years old, and 2) I am a published novelist who writes adult mystery/thrillers. Simply stated, The Fault in Our Stars is a literary masterpiece. I have read literally hundreds of books of every genre and every topic you could possibly imagine and rarely have I felt so much intimacy with the main characters, Hazel Grace and Augustus. They are so well developed and so real, particularly Hazel, that by the end of the book I actually loved them.<br/><br/>How John Green was able to create two characters so vividly, so accurately teenage-like, is a credit to his literary genius. A writer's number one job is to evoke emotions in his or her readers. And Mr. Green checked all of my boxes. He had me laughing and crying, which, for me, is a truly rare occurrence. I felt deep sadness, joy, empathy, love, and hate (for what cancer does to people).<br/><br/>By design, I am a very slow reader because I read as a writer, not a reader, so I critique as I turn pages. It generally takes me two weeks to read a full-length novel; I read this book in two days. And even though it broke my heart, I think I will read it again and again. Hazel Grace and Augustus have enriched my life and taught me some very important lessons. Mr. Green, thank you for writing such a powerful story.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R18AORARYC1YPU?ASIN=014242417X	A stirring and eloquent novel	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I don't often write reviews for books, because I often can't easily sum up my reactions to them. I have the exact same feeling about this book, but it moved me so greatly that it begged a review. So here I go...<br/><br/>When I first heard about this book I thought it was going to be some run-of-the-mill story involving superficial teenage emotions and 'puppy love'. Therefore, after perusing a couple of reviews prior to my reading of the novel, I was a bit dubious about the claims of how this book had brought so many people to tears. I, honestly, am often deeply touched by poignant books, but I am rarely, if ever, brought to tears by them. And so, with all of these doubts in mind, I proceeded to read The Fault in Our Stars.<br/><br/>After the first few chapters--although captivated by the story--I still doubted its ability to draw tears. I did, however, continue reading due to the quirky narrative of Hazel Grace and the sheer sense of endearment I slowly grew toward the characters, specifically Hazel and Augustus. The story gradually enticed my laughter, my pity, and my heartfelt warmth out into the open; it just sort of weaved its way into my heart.<br/><br/>And then it happened. (don't worry, no spoilers: I wouldn't want to ruin such a marvellous tale for those who haven't read it) Once my heart was fully interwoven, it got torn apart--beautifully, tragically. This book drew the tears I was so doubtful of and more. There were times where the words on the page became mere blurs, and I had to wipe my eyes to continue. Soon every page became worth its weight in tears; it was devastating and yet utterly beautiful.<br/><br/>This is a story of love, heartbreak, life, death, illness, and all the other little intricacies of teenage life sewn together into a wonderfully stirring and eloquent novel.<br/><br/>For those of you who are as doubtful as I was, do yourself a favour and read this astonishing book. Seriously, it even moved me enough to write this essay about my reaction. I have no doubt left, and therefore this receives a full 5 stars from me. Brilliant.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3TY8SBWAWN0AK?ASIN=014242417X	Great Read! Warning:  Story Will Make You Cry	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Three words: I LOVED THIS BOOK!!<br/><br/>Okay, so that was technically four words, but whatever.  This was the first ever John Green book that I have read and it was amazing!<br/><br/>Characters-<br/><br/>The characters were well developed, and I just loved Hazel and Augustus!  They went through so much, but yet they are so funny and high spirited.  They weren't ones to drown in self pity, and despair.  Nope, not at all.  Instead they live through it and go on with their everyday life,  and they are also very humorous, and caring.<br/><br/>I am not saying that they are okay with having cancer or missing a leg, because they aren't okay with it.  They also want a normal life as can be without so much problems, but they do have these problems and they deal with it as best as they can.  I loved how they turned even the worst situations into humorous ones, and found a way to laugh even when the situation was so bleak.<br/><br/>As for the supporting characters, Issac was my favorite!  He was just so funny, and caring.  You could tell that he and Augustus were really good best friends.  The other characters, mainly Hazel's and Augustus's parents were also developed very well, and I loved how I could understand their point of view and how they felt about the whole situation just from their actions and dialogues.<br/><br/>John Green has a way of writing all the characters in such a way, that you can feel what all the other characters besides Hazel and Augustus, are going through and how they feel without having to read the story from their perspective.  To me, that was very good writing and it made the story ten times better.<br/><br/>Main plot/ Resolution-<br/><br/>I would be lying if I said that I loved the twist John Green brought upon the characters, and how everything turned out at the end, because I really didn't.  I hated it, and it broke my heart reading all the pages from the point where everything starts going downhill, until the very last page.  I just hated it, and by the time I finally finished reading the book, I was a crying my eyes out.<br/><br/>However, at the same time I would also by lying if I said that I truly did hate the main plot and resolution, because that's also not true.<br/><br/>Truth be told, I actually thought the plot twist was brilliant, and even if the ending was totally not the way I would have liked things to have turned out, it was still really good.  But my main reason for still loving this book so much, despite it breaking my heart and making me cry was because it stayed realistic to life, even though the book is fiction.  It was a perfect portrayal of how life is not perfect, and how things can drastically change and go downhill in a matter of seconds.<br/><br/>As a reader and fan of this book, I really cared about the characters and hated that they all had to go through so much suffering and pain.  But in the end, I loved how the overall story portrayed life and death, and how life is not perfect for some people, and how things can change for the better or worse at any point in people's lives.<br/><br/>The plot twist in this book was bitter, and the ending even worse, but it was also the best, and part of what made this book a favorite of mine.  Overall, the plot and resolution of this book was ""imperfectly perfect"" and just what the book needed to make it such a big success.<br/><br/>Overall Thoughts-<br/><br/>The Fault In Our Stars is a must read!<br/><br/>But be warned, if you decide to read this book you will most definitely cry!  However, that shouldn't stop you from reading this book because it really is one of the best books you might ever read.<br/><br/>The story is unique and bittersweet, but at the same time really funny and heartbreaking.  You will be able to feel and connect with all the characters, and not just Hazel, even though the book is from her point of view.  The only reason I gave this book a rating of 5.5 / 5 instead of a 6 is because I felt that the beginning portion of this book was kind of slow at times, but once you get past that, the book is truly amazing!<br/><br/>Seriously, I know I am repeating myself here, but if you haven't read the book yet, you really should because it is one of the best books!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1212O4QF8TYNP?ASIN=014242417X	From the Mind of a Teen: Amazing Characters, A Must-Read, Even For Non-Romance Fans (Spoilers!)	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">SPOILERS. AHEAD. WILL. RUIN. THE. BOOK.<br/><br/>Okay. With that said.<br/><br/>Whenever we go on a road trip, I buy a book to read on the way there. A couple weeks ago, some of my friends recommended The Fault in Our Stars to me. I’d actually seen it on the Kindle Bestsellers list about a year ago, but back then it sounded like one of those long, boring preachy-type books that like to tell you what to do with your life. So I ignored it. But I’d actually heard that The Fault in Our Stars movie was coming out soon, because I read Veronica Roth’s blog, and she’d written a post on how Shailene Woodley was cutting her hair to prepare for her role as Hazel in The Fault in Our Stars.<br/><br/>Now, let me tell you something: I really, really, REALLY am annoyed when people start reading a book just because it’s coming out as a movie. I know that it is one of the major ways a larger audience gets to know about the book in the first place, but still. Well, I guess what REALLY, REALLY, REALLY irks me is when somebody reads a book because they’ve heard the movie is coming out and then say, “OMG, THIS IS THE BEST BOOK I’VE EVER READ, IT’S MY FAVORITE. I’M SUCH A HARDCORE AND DEDICATED FAN TO THIS AUTHOR!!!! I KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT EVERYTHING HE/SHE HAS EVER WRITTEN!!!!!!!” I truly do understand (I truly, truly, truly do) that sometimes, people get to know about an author when the movie is being publicized. And they read the book and think that it’s really good. And it really, truly is their favorite book. But the part that annoys me is when they announce that they are a hardcore, dedicated fan to the author and his/her works.<br/><br/>I mean, there are always people who have been fans LONGER, who have done their research, who have LITERALLY READ all the books written by the author, whose LIFE DREAM is to discuss the books with the author. I just feel wrong kind of taking their dream away from them by reading the book just when it comes out as a movie. To tell you the truth, I felt bad I had waited so long (and it had to come to it being made into a MOVIE) for me to read The Fault in Our Stars. But anyways. Onwards.<br/><br/>The Fault in Our Stars was the first good book I’d read in a long time. I mean, you read books like Divergent and The Hunger Games, and they’re so popular, but (at least, for me), you can’t see WHY. For a book to be good to me, I need to be able to read it once and see what made it a bestseller. The Fault in Our Stars was like that. I could feel what Hazel felt, something I hadn’t done with a book in a long time. When characters died, and the main character felt sad, even when it was narrated in first-person, I just thought, “Okay, so so-and-so died. And that made (insert main character’s name here) sad. Moving on.” But I could really feel it when things happened in The Fault in Our Stars. I could literally feel my heart puncturing when (coughspoilercough) Augustus died, and for once, I could actually understand why the character felt the way she did.<br/><br/>Half the time, The Fault in Our Stars made me feel like, “Okay, if someone else had written a book about cancer kids falling in love, that would’ve sold just as good as this,” but after Gus’s death, I could really understand why The Fault in Our Stars was so special, what made it such a bestseller.<br/><br/>It actually stymied my creative flow a little, which is unusual for a book. Only the really good books get my creative flow to stop or get me to write just like the author does.<br/><br/>After finishing the book, I just kept on thinking, over and over, Why did Augustus have to die? Why did John Green have to kill him? Just over, and over, and over.<br/><br/>There’s a simple reason behind this: because it made a good book.<br/><br/>But the irrational part of me still doesn’t understand that.<br/><br/>I think when a death happens in a book—especially the death of one of the central characters—it has to be well-executed.<br/><br/>About two months ago, I read Allegiant, the last book of the Divergent trilogy (I’ve actually been meaning to post my thoughts on that… oh, well). At the very end of the book, the main character, Tris Prior, dies. I completely respect the author’s decision to let her character die; after all, it was never my decision; but I was really dissatisfied by the way she did die.<br/><br/>(MAJOR SPOILER) At the end of the book, Tris essentially survives a room full of poison, choosing to go so her brother won’t have to die. However, even though Tris HAS HER WEAPON with her, she dies by being shot by an untrained man. I was, first of all, dissatisfied with her death because of the fact that it went against all aspects of her character. Tris has an amazing will to live, but at the end of the series, she doesn’t even try to fight back, even though she can plausibly do so. Also, the situation of the death seems to promote suicide in teens, which is never a good thing.<br/><br/>However, Augustus has no choice over whether or not he gets to die. In fact, he wants to live. He wants to do something with his life, not just be a cancer kid, stuck sick at home. But he dies anyway, and he has no choice over it. The execution of his death, the way it was put into writing, was simply done better than Tris’s death was done, and I think that that was why it left a more profound effect on me. While I still wanted Augustus to be alive, I also respected and understood his death.<br/><br/>So there you have it. My take on The Fault in Our Stars with major spoilers and weird rants.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RP05T5PPQI9SO?ASIN=014242417X	Waxing Poetic: We're all romantics at heart	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">http://jukeboxmuse.com/2014/07/01/waxing-poetic-were-all-romantics-at-heart/<br/><br/>Here we are again with one of those hyped-up books and one of those cult followings and one of those movies. I wonder if original movie ideas actually exist anymore (Planes 2? Really Pixar?). Putting all originality complaints aside, this book-to-movie adaptation is actually worth discussing.<br/><br/>The question I always ask first with what I’m beginning to call “hype books” is whether John Green and TFIOS really deserve all the publicity versus other books that weren’t lucky enough to get a movie, like Joan Bauer or Sarah Dessen‘s veritable treasure trove of realistic fiction. Of course I’m not going to say it deserves ALL the social media buzz, because when teenage girls and a hot male lead who waxes poetic get involved, everything always get way crazy (remember Team Edward and Jacob? It never stops). However, Green is quickly building a legacy for himself that deserves to be lauded alongside Joan Bauer and Sarah Dessen.<br/><br/>Plus, he’s a boss. Green didn’t get famous overnight after his first stab at writing. TFIOS may be his jackpot, but he’s well used to writing successful books: Paper Towns and Will Grayson, Will Grayson are both on my TBR list. As if that wasn’t enough, he’s also a youtube giant who started VidCon.<br/><br/>With Green’s online presence in mind, it’s not surprising that TFIOS got so popular so quickly. And the story is attractively Nicholas-Sparks-like: Hazel, a 16-year old cancer patient meets 17-year old Augustus at cancer support group and they go to Amsterdam to meet a reclusive author and fall in love along the way. I won’t say what comes next, but c’mon guys, it’s a sad cancer story, you have to go into this novel with some expectation of being depressed. I certainly was pleasantly mopey for a couple days after finishing the book. And I caught myself imagining what Hazel’s life would be like after the book ended. It’s always a good sign when we want to continue a story in our own heads.<br/><br/>The difference between this book and the annoyingly sappy, repetitive Nicholas Sparks books is the hilarious dialogue. John Green puts so much of himself in all his characters, and in this case it works well. Green is a smart and quirky guy, therefore his characters have smart and quirky dialogue. The constant comments about the awkward, face-palm moments in life make the book flow naturally and feel realistic. However, the dialogue is also Green’s Achilles heel. There were many times when I was jolted out of the story because the dialogue had turned into a slew of pretentiously mature witticisms. That’s the danger zone: trying to be smart and funny while still making readers believe people actually talk like that in real life. The simple test is whether the dialogue can be read out loud in a convincing manner. I understand that Augustus’s outrageous one-liners are deliberately outrageous and he probably practices his speeches in front of a mirror, but there’s only so much Green can include of Augustus waxing poetic before it makes me cringe.<br/><br/>And while I don’t want to bash John Green too hard because I do think he’s created some quietly hilarious characters, I have to mention the first kiss scene while we’re on the subject of plausibility. I can deal with the improv kiss because emotions are just too overwhelming sometimes, but why must we have the important first physical connection in Anne Frank’s house (aka memorial of a 13-year old victim of the Holocaust)? With people clapping afterwards?? I’m sorry, but that’s really not how real life works. It would be fine if Green didn’t try so hard for the rest of the book to be a teenager’s realistic life, but the appeal of his book is that these kids are just like us. And while it’d be cool to have an audience applauding me after every major relationship checkpoint, that sadly hasn’t happened to me yet.<br/><br/>I only call out the occasional pretentious dialogue and that one ridiculous scene because it’s out of place in an otherwise perfectly flawed story. Hazel, quiet and sympathetic, and Augustus, wonderfully over-the-top, work well as the modern star-crossed couple. The few appearances of Hazel’s parents, who act as both supportive parents and best friends with their only daughter, were a close second to the main couple’s relationship. All in all, I thought the book was too short. John Green left me wanting more. Which is fitting, for a love story between terminal cancer patients and a moral about how fleeting life can be. I was stumped for a while on whether Green treated the effect of cancer on a teenager’s life too simply, but in the end I guess the book’s about struggling to have a life with cancer, not struggling to beat cancer while having a life.<br/><br/>Contrary to the book, I have no major complaints about the movie, a surprise to both you and me, I bet. I liked the characters of Hazel (played by Shailene Woodley) and Hazel’s parents (Laura Dern and Sam Trammell) even more, and I appreciate Ansel Elgort’s ability to toss off Green’s pretentious dialogue as fake douchebaggery. It still doesn’t fly in the book, but it’s endearing in the movie. Gosh, Hazel and Gus have such great chemistry, considering that the actors played siblings in their previous movie, Divergent. There was a never a point in the movie where I lost focus or checked the time, thanks mostly to Shailene and Ansel’s impressive range of facial expressions. Plus, the voiceover was tastefully used to preserve Hazel’s first-person narrative. The movie did skip a lot of Gus’s health slowly deteriorating after the Amsterdam trip, but one has to make cuts somewhere in order to get the full immersive effect of other, more important scenes. It really was an incredibly faithful representation of the novel. So faithful that the first kiss scene was just as fairy-tale-like in the flesh as I imagined it to be.<br/><br/>It was a long, fulfilling movie. What felt like six hours was probably only two. It alleviated my worries about the book being too short to create enough depth in Hazel and Gus’s relationship and treating cancer too simply. It felt like a life had been lived, and that’s all we really ask for.<br/><br/>Rating: 8 - loved it: would definitely recommend, solid characters, writing, plot; might reread in a couple years<br/><br/>The movie soundtrack is worth a quick listen too. As individual songs, Birdy’s “Not About Angels”, M83′s  “Wait”, and STRFKR’s “While I’m Alive” stand out to me. The rest are a little to generically pop for my tastes. Regarding it as a whole, the collection of young artists delivers a fresh sound, representing the ups and downs of the story in all its teenage glory.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3D0Z7BJ6HYXHS?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in Our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I really didn't want to have to review this book because I was conflicted while reading this book. I wanted to like it more than I did, and on some levels, I really did enjoy it and found it to be quite insightful. Then, in hindsight, I found myself annoyed by how contrived the bulk of it is.<br/><br/>I find most books with young adults to conquer them in unrealistic ways. As the father of a teenage girl, I can attest to the fact that kids rarely--if ever--talk like Hazel and Gus, and I have yet to meet one who can make observations on the same level as these characters. If I was wrong, you'd very likely find a large number of books written by teenagers. I get that to make the plot move and the metaphors strong, someone needs to make these observations, but it just doesn't work. It took me out of the story because I just couldn't buy it. A story that tries to conquer subject matter as serious as cancer is going to move me if it portrays life as it is. On some levels, this book does this. It doesn't strive to portray life with a happy ending, but it cheats to make that point. It forces the point home by using the voice of characters mature beyond their years to make it. I feel like this book might have been more effective without the mature observations that are supposed to come across as clever, but only feel fabricated. It becomes every more annoying whenever our duo interacts with adults. They're always so much deeper, so much smarter...so much more everything that kids this age usually are not.<br/><br/>I don't want to take away from the story. It's a good one and strives to make a good point. In fact, a lot of the cleverness of Hazel and Gus actually is pretty interesting and insightful, but it doesn't change the fact that if I write a book about a six year old who invents the next reliable source of energy, no matter how well I write it, it doesn't change how unreal it would be. That's how I felt about this book.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R4TTJ4I5JSJUD?ASIN=014242417X	Not that excited	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">So I know that I am a little late jumping on this bandwagon, and that so many people are going to be unhappy with my review. Just please keep in mind that it is just my opinion.<br/><br/>This is a love story between two sick teenagers, Hazel and Gus. It tells of how they met during a support group, both suffering from disease. Hazel is terminal and Gus seems to be cancer free and no worse for the wear other than being an amputee. Hazel shares her obsession of her favorite book with Gus. The book is the story of a young girl that suffers from a terminal illness as well, Hazel has been frustrated for some time regarding the way that this story ends and has tried a number of times to reach out to the author, who has become a recluse in Amsterdam, to which she has not gotten any responses. Gus does finally have some luck getting in contact with the author through his assistant and they are both invited to Amsterdam. They make the trip with the help of the wish program, where they fall in love and Hazel learns that Gus' health is not as good as she thought that it was. The rest of the book contains the struggles while Gus goes down hill.<br/><br/>I was worried to read this book because I was afraid of the emotional response that it would cause. Several people I know, many who have similar tastes in books that I do, absolutely LOVED this book. Unfortunately, I really had no emotional response what-so-ever, I did not hate this book, but I did not love it either. It was a sweet story and the idea behind it was great. I did not get moved by the character development and felt that there was just not enough substance to the story. Part of my problem with the book may have been all of the hype that has surrounded the book, which raised my expectations of the book.<br/><br/>Even though this book was not my cup of tea, I definitely see where it is very moving to other people. I say that it is still worth reading if you are interested, just not to get your hopes up for a miraculous piece of literary work.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R59LXICJEZHZ3?ASIN=014242417X	Didn't live up to the hype	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">For me, being a 21 year old man, A Fault in Our Stars isn't usually my type of book. I usually stay away from ""Nicolas Spark Romance"" type books. Not because I think they're poorly written, but because usually they just don't peak my interest. Most of the time romance novels are far fetched and nearly impossible to believe. In my opinion A Fault in Our Stars follows close to that. I think it can be difficult for anyone not living with cancer to understand this book, akak Me. This isn't some ignorant opinion to say the least. I have read some reviews from people with cancer and without and there seem to be some differences.<br/><br/>For me Hazel and Gus are completely unbelievable characters. They do nothing that teenagers do, think the way no teenagers do, and handle situations in ways teenagers wouldn't. Hazel to me comes off as a complainer who rarely finds any joy in life except for Gus. Although I can see the argument on why she is that way and really why she has the right of all people to be that way. But just because you have right does it mean you should act that way? Hazel constantly talks about the negative side of cancer perks, but in my opinion she is one. To me she's a bitch, but the only reason we like her is because we feel sorry for her. I know how that can sound really harsh and the only reason I say it is because I couldn't connect with the character at all. Gus is equally as hard to connect with as well as Issac and even every one of their parents. Hazel's mom tells her to get a life in the beginning that clings to her.<br/><br/>If I'm being honest The Fault in Our Stars didn't live up to the hype and I think it should have ended differently. As to not spoil the end I won't give my opinion on how I think it should have ended. This is why I'm giving it three stars.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R33LZ79W9QYDNK?ASIN=014242417X	Will live on as one of my favorite books	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Warning: Contains spoilers.<br/><br/>This book was so well written. It is very real, while still giving us an unbelievable love story. John Green writes this in the first person, as a character name Hazel Grace Lancaster, and he gives her the narrative as the sarcastic teenaged girl she is supposed to be. She is a young girl living with cancer, and has an oxygen tank as a constant companion. She is a simple, yet lovely person with a great, sarcastic sense of humor and a caring heart.<br/><br/>Hazel is sent to support group by her mother who thinks she is depressed and needs to make friends. This is torturously boring for Hazel until she meets a new face named Augustus Waters, and eighteen year-old with a prosthetic leg. Now is when I tell you that this is the character that I completely fell in love with. Like YA books always do to me, this one made me regret my misspent  youth. If I could go back to my teen years, I would seriously save my heart for a guy like this. He is witty and charismatic, very positive, and sees the true beauty in everything.<br/><br/>The love story between Hazel and Gus (I may name my future son this now) is powerful, yet real. They have a devotion and an intense need to protect one another, as well as hold the other up.<br/><br/>SPOILER AHEAD........<br/><br/>The twist in this book, I actually did see coming, but I still think it was a good move on John Greens part. It was a good way to show how Augustus, who loved Hazel so intensely, really did give her the strength to  endure the realities life with or without cancer can bring us. In tern, she taught him that your life, is only as big as your life, and does not need to be experienced, or remembered world wide to leave a powerful mark.<br/><br/>I really enjoyed the way John Green put emotions into words, such as the quote ""Pain demands to be felt"" and how Hazel said each time she was in the hospital, she never rated her pain as a ""10"" as she says, ""I was saving my 10"".<br/><br/>This book was so well put together, with enough reality, enough emotion and enough humor to make it enjoyable for me. It is easily making my top ten list of favorite books, which isn't easy because reading is all I do.<br/><br/>A Little about the Movie....<br/><br/>I could tell just by the trailers that this movie was going to follow the book well enough for me to go see it. I was not sorry. Unlike most film adaptations, this one did the book justice. I have to give praise to Ansel Elgort who played the role of Augustus. He gave an amazing performance and seriously brought Gus to life the way I envisioned him as I read the book. The important parts were left in, and only the parts that could be afforded to be left out were not included. If you're a fan of this book, the movie is definitely worth seeing!</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R36RU3IQC4VP67?ASIN=014242417X	Different, clever, emotional...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">So I finally found the time to read this book, I wanted to for a long time, especially because the movie is coming out soon (by the time I post this review, the movie will be in the cinemas).<br/><br/>The story follows Hazel Grace who is a 16 years old cancer patient. In a support group her parents send her to she first meets Isaac and then also his friend Augustus. They become great friends and eventually something deep develops between her and Gus. I love these two together, the chemistry was there from the start and I loved that they were able to talk about everything. It was true love.<br/><br/>This book is really funny at times, but it also made me cry a lot. The topic of cancer is difficult and delicate and we get to read about it first hand. Hazel goes through a lot in this book, yet John Green found a great way to write about her life, so that she seemed like every other normal teenager. Then “baam” another surprise jumped out of a page and changed everything.<br/><br/>This book is not only about fighting cancer and all the other circumstances this disease intiles, but also about friendship, love and being happy.<br/><br/>It was great to read about Hazel reading this book over and over again and connecting to it. The ending is still unclear and then the opportunity to meet the author comes up. Together with her mum and Gus she goes to Amserdam and meets him. Let’s just see the whole journey and the meeting turn out differently than expected.<br/><br/>John Green’s writing is different, clever, emotional, refreshing and it really connects the reader into the story. The book left me wanting more and it will definitely stay with me…<br/>The perfect mixture between humour/happiness and tragedy/sadness. Keep your tissues ready.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3E2IO97U20SAX?ASIN=014242417X	140-141) This book is both a love story and a reminder of the fragility of life	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Although it is not mentioned within the book itself, one fellow reviewer offers this as the likely inspiration behind the title of this book. ""The fault, dear Brutus is not in our stars, / But in ourselves, that we are underlings."" Caesar (I, ii, 140-141)<br/><br/>This book is both a love story and a reminder of the fragility of life. Hazel is a sixteen year old who isn’t like other teenagers. She is a non-traditional student and cancer patient that requires nearly constant oxygen assistance for her weak lungs. At her parents’ insistence she attends a weekly cancer survival group meeting where she meets several acquaintences that don’t really become friends until the arrival of seventeen year old Augustus, also a cancer survivor. Hazel and Augustus develop a friendship that quickly turns romantic, even though the motions of normal romanticism are new and scary for the both of them due to their fragile health conditions. The support group friends try to find some sense of normalcy in a life that is far from what normal teenagers lead. One review states that they are intelligent beyond their age. While I am not a cancer victim, I believe that they are not so much more intelligent as they are mature because they are forced to deal with the realization that they are not infallible teenagers at a much younger age than “normal” kids. Instead of dealing with the all-important teen decisions of what to wear tomorrow, these kids are dealing with “How long will I live? Does my life have any meaning? Does my death have any meaning? How will I be remembered when I am gone?” Don’t get me wrong, they do still worry about silly teenager stuff but the importance on such matters is quite muted, understandibly. And an intelligent reader will appreciate the complexity of these characters and what they are dealing with. Hazel continues to have a friendship with one of her former traditional school buddies but finds the relationship quite difficult to maintain due to their lack of commonality. One of their support group friends has cancer in his eyes and they try to help him deal with the impending removal of his eyes and sights forever at such a young age. Hazel shares her love of a novel about a cancer victim with Augustus, and both embark upon a quest to find its elusive author to ask him burning questions about the story’s conclusion.  Their journey takes them to Amsterdam which in itself is a feat, due especially to Hazel’s frail lungs. I don’t want to give away what they discover in Amsterdam, nor how life plays out for Hazel and Augustus, as that is for the reader to find out. But suffice it to say, you will be sad, you will be inspired, and you will need a few tissues. Although most would claim this is young adult fiction I dare say that any parent or adult will find this equally as poignant as a teenager because we all know someone that is or has been affected by cancer and this give us a little glimpse into their world. Lest you think this isn’t a book for adults to appreciate, let me share some of the best quotes from the book….<br/><br/>“You have a choice in this world, I believe, about how to tell sad stories, and we made the funny choice.”<br/><br/>“I fell in love the way you fall asleep: slowly, and then all at once.”<br/><br/>“Some tourists think Amsterdam is a city of sin, but in truth it is a city of freedom. And in freedom, most people find sin.”<br/><br/>“You don’t get to choose if you get hurt in this world, old man, but you do have some say in who hurts you. I like my choices. I hope she likes hers.”<br/><br/>“You are so busy being you that you have no idea how utterly unprecedented you are.”<br/><br/> Now that this book is a movie I’m going to take a stab that the last quote and the young couple’s relationship is what is focused on in the film, though to be honest I have not yet seen the movie. I’m sure I eventually will but I’m usually disappointed with the film adaptations of books. Nobody, however, should be disappointed in this book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RYKO7C9FG1Y5S?ASIN=014242417X	A truly moving experience	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">For some reason, there seem to be a lot of YA books with cancer as a major plot point, to the point where to me it seems almost as cliche as needless angsting, pointless romantic age-inappropriate melodrama and dead/divorced parents. I was told by many friends that this book was amazing, even capable of making a person cry the whole way through. That did not happen for me, because I never can bring myself to show that<br/>level of emotion from a book. I went in expecting a nonstop humorless tearjerker with nary a glimmer of hope to be found. Instead, I found something actually enjoyable and even relatable. From the start I noticed that the teenagers talk and act like actual teenagers talk and act, even if Augustus Waters speaks not like a human being but a philosophy textbook with all the non-profound parts cut out, and, like Isaac said, could not take a piss without musing about the deep philosophical resonances of human waste. Thankfully, this is an intended character trait, not a writing mishap or worse, an attempt to create a character whose sole purpose is to soapbox all of the author's various opinions on life, the universe and everything (an ""Author Avatar"", if you will). Moreover, in TFIOS, cancer is not just an informed trait used to get the audience to sympathize with the character but has no ill effects other than being Newberry-bait (a ""Littlest Cancer Patient"", if you will), but a complex, life changing, life threatening, surprisingly common malady that affects the plot in ways other than faking profoundness, a quality that TFIOS legitimately has. It tackles many deep issues, like love, loss, inevitability of death, greatness, our impact on the world, and other such things, all without getting too preachy about it. The characterization is amazing as well; In the end, I found myself sympathizing with every named character - even Van Houten. The plot had perfectly logical progression. The descriptions are splendid yet not at the point where the prose hampers the story with its magnitude and grandeur. There are many ways this story is magnificent, so many that I cannot list them all here, so I simply will say that TFIOS is magnificent. It made me chuckle, it made me almost feel emotion, and it was a fun tale full of insight about humanity. Overall, TFIOS gets 5 stars, for exceeding my expectations and being a truly moving experience, especially coming from a truly unmoveable person.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R30IZYWOK8FKOU?ASIN=014242417X	my view	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">To each his own.<br/><br/>I found this story to be strangely interesting despite the fact that nothing was extraordinary about it. It was a love story, yes. However, for those of you who hate romance stories, like myself, this might still be a good alternative. I don't really like romance books especially because they are very unrealistic. This story however, tackled real life issues.<br/><br/>Hazel has been left requiring the use of an oxygen tank after her thyroid cancer spreads to her lungs. Her parents believe that she is depressed and nags her to go to support group where she eventually meets another cancer child (Augustus), who is friends with someone from her support group (Isaac). She tells herself although he is handsome and they like each other very much that she will not let him get attached and that she doesn't want him to be devastated by her eventual death. She let's him read this book (her favourite) and they both then embark on a mission to find out what happens next because they book ends in the middle of a sentence.<br/><br/>It tackles the issue of knowing that you're going to die sooner rather than later. While reading this it made me think, if I was going to die soon, what would I do with my life? In Hazel's case; should she fall in love with him? Should she let him fall in love with her? Is it fair to do this? Is it worth it? In Augustus' case; how do I leave behind a legacy? How big a legacy is required to be significantly remembered? Will it really matter? How Important is it to leave behind some grand legacy?<br/><br/>To me it was a reminder that, you only get until you die to be happy and to make your mark. But it's hard to think what you want that mark to be. Knowing you don't have much time left changes many things. If you're not sick you can't really quit your job and go to Amsterdam or Paris or Rome. But you can make the people who will remember you someday, remember you as the best person you could have been.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1OHSDRR7G1BH5?ASIN=014242417X	Four Stars: A well written, character driven story.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Hazel straps on her oxygen and prepares for another lengthy session in her cancer survivor group. She dreads these meetings, but today is different. She meets someone new: Gus. Before she knows it, Hazel is sharing books and swapping stories with Gus. They quickly bond over Hazel's favorite book, written by an elusive man who lives in Holland. Gus insists that they must meet this author and find out what happened to the characters after the book ends. Gus uses his wish and soon the two of them are on a life changing adventure. What happens when fate collides with love?<br/>What I Liked:<br/>*At last, I finally had the courage to tackle The Fault Within the Stars. I have long been putting off this read because of the subject matter: cancer. Who wants to read a book about teenage kids with cancer? Plenty of people that's for sure. After finishing, I can say that this book is well written, thought provoking, and I thought the author handled the cancer beautifully. If you are like me and have been afraid of this one, don't be. Mr. Green does an excellent job of engaging you with intelligent and precocious characters who use humor to detract from the big ugly ""c"" word.<br/>*Let's talk about the elephant in the room: cancer. I am not a reader who enjoys reading emotional books especially when it comes to illness. I appreciated that Mr. Green didn't make the book all doom and gloom. There was plenty of humor sprinkled in to lighten up the mood, and I liked that he found a good balance between the dark and the depressing and the bright side. Yes, there are plenty of things that will break your heart, but there are also lots of things that will make you smile.<br/>*This is a completely character driven story. Hazel and Augustus are two characters whom you can't help but fall in love with. They are both fighters and survivors who come together and love, live and laugh in the face of cancer. Their intelligent dialogue made me laugh. I loved them both, and I liked their relationship. There is also a strong secondary cast of characters. I especially liked Isaac. His situation was tough and heart breaking, but I liked how he came through it and was able to joke about his condition. Hazel's parents are very much involved in the story and they play a big role in the story. I liked that the parents had strong roles and I loved seeing how they handled everything. All in all, the characters are top notch and realistic.<br/>*The ending... yes it is sad and you will likely shed a few tears, but I also liked that it had a positive message, and it spoke strongly to me. Life is short, take advantage of each day you have and don't take anything for granted.<br/>And The Not So Much:<br/>*I couldn't help but feel a tiny bit disappointed. I don't know if it was because of all the hype and expectation or my mood or what, but I didn't think this had the strong emotional impact I was expecting. I don't know, I think too much time was wasted on the weird author whom I could care less about.<br/>*Speaking of the eccentric author, I didn't really get why there was such a strong focus on him. Hazel and Augustus fly to Holland to meet his whack job and he ends up being a horrible drunk. I kept expecting some big break through or redeeming moment with him, but I ended up being disappointed.<br/>I thought the whole thing with the eulogy was weird. Why would Gus involve the author after his horrid behavior? I thought it was a bit unrealistic.<br/>*The book is open ended. I guess I just wanted a bit more closure with both Hazel and Isaac. After the emotional upheaval I wanted to know that they would be okay.<br/><br/>The Fault in the Stars is a book that tugs at your heart strings. It will make you laugh and then cry. It is an emotional journey worth taking. I thought the writing was excellent and the story was solid. Definitely a book you should read. I know it took me a long time to get around to it as I was afraid, but I can honestly say that it wasn't as gut wrenching or sad as I expected. I appreciated that the author packs in lots of humor to help lighten the load. If you are avoiding this book, don't hesitate, read it.<br/><br/>Favorite Quotations:<br/>""The dead are visible only in terrible lidless eye of memory. The living, thank heaven, retain the ability to surprise and to disappoint.""<br/>""As he read, I fell in love the way you fall asleep: slowly, and then all at once.""<br/>""I'm in love with you, and I know that love is just a shout into the void, and that oblivion is inevitable, and that we're all doomed and that there will come a day when all our labor has been returned to dust, and I know the sun will shallow the only earth we'll ever have, and I am in love with you.""<br/><br/>I borrowed a copy of this book from the library. All opinions are my own and I was not compensated for this review.<br/><br/>Posted@Rainy Day Ramblings.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2OF3L0E751Q9G?ASIN=014242417X	Simply Fantastic	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I have never been as affected by a book, as I was with this one. When I finished it (and I tore through this book in a matter of hours, not because it's short or anything, because it's not, but because I could not put it down), I sat back and cried. I have never cried over a book before, until this book.<br/><br/>It wasn't just sad because it's a book about children with cancer, which is a sad thing already. It explores what it means to be alive, what it means to love, and what it means to lose, peppered with witty banter and sarcastic remarks throughout. It is such a complete book. The author, John Green, plucks his readers from reality and drops them into this new reality, complete with minute details that only serve the purpose of fleshing out the book's world and amazing points of view that people who aren't facing down a terminal illness would never experience otherwise. Hazel and Gus are just so blase about their cancer too; it's a thing that exists and there's really nothing they can do about it, except hope that the next round of experimental drugs turns out to be less poisonous than the actual cancer, and they actually manage to put the cancer on the back burner. This isn't a book about two kids ""who are, essentially, made of cancer"" (quote from the book). It's a book about two kids who meet and realize they have a lot in common (including wicked senses of humor and the sharpest of tongues), sharing their favorite books and video games with each other, admitting secret fears that come with having a terminal illness, and eventually setting off on a whirlwind adventure across the Atlantic. Instead of being crushed under the depression that comes with cancer, they choose to take a more cynical and sarcastic view of the world (because why the hell not?). They choose to be realistic with themselves and their friends and families.<br/><br/>This is an incredible book that I feel everyone should read. If you've been hesitant to get this book, please stop hesitating and just get it. Many other reviewers have posted that it's not good and isn't worth your time, but it absolutely is.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1J0ZIX6Z3DO8F?ASIN=014242417X	A good book with a few faults in its pages	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is the first John Green book I’ve read, though I’ve wanted to read him for a long time. You know the phrase, so many books, so little time…anyway, I HAD to read it before I saw the movie, so it was time and here are my thoughts:<br/><br/>I thoroughly enjoyed the characters in this book. Green writes them very well, they are unique, and descriptive and you truly get a feel for what they are going through. Both sets of parents, Augustus’ and Hazel’s have just the right balance of strong, yet on-the-brink-of-breaking-down. I love that her father is the sensitive one. I think we often see fathers as being the strong and unemotional, but the truth is, they can be as vulnerable and expressive as their female counterparts.<br/><br/>I adored Hazel and Augustus and found their relationship sweet and affecting. I loved their silly banter, their quick wits, and sarcasm. They are actually much like me, which I liked.  Couple things that bugged me, both of them had odd names. There are just not many Hazels and Augustus’ out there anymore. Their vocabulary both in dialogue and internally seemed WAY over their heads. I understand the wisdom of the dying youth, and the fact that these two are incredibly intelligent, but I still don’t think teenagers would talk and think the way they do at times. Sometimes yes. As often as they do? No.  Also the calling each other by full names and first and middle names cute at first, but through the whole book, a little irritating. And the over use of “um.” Um? That’s just my ticky tacky stuff.<br/><br/>This brings me to Green’s writing skills, I think he is an amazing and beautiful writer. He makes putting words to paper look effortless and seamless, which, as a writer, I know it is not. It’s obvious he took a great amount of time to research the subject matters spoken of in this book , i.e. cancer, treatments, Amsterdam, and it felt like they mattered to him.<br/><br/>I guess I’m among the minority that found the story just good and not earth-shattering. I liked it yes, I’m not sure I loved it. I’m not a big crier when I read, and I did not cry while reading this either. The only time I remember getting a little emotional is when Hazel spoke to her mom about not being a mom anymore.  There are books that have resonated with me more.<br/><br/>However, as I said before, I liked the book, I loved the characters, John Green’s writing is impressive, the storyline, noble. I will read the other John Green books on my shelf. This would be a 3.5 for me, but Amazon doesn't allow 3.5 so I'd rather up it than down it.<br/><br/>Do I recommend it? Yes. If you like books about cancer, books that make you cry, books like Deadline by Chris Crutcher, Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher, The Pull of Gravity by Gae Polisner and any other of John Green’s books.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RLGBW1026R3JW?ASIN=014242417X	Levity in the face of tragedy	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">After seeing a trailer for the movie, I knew I had to read The Fault in Our Stars because I'm one of those that NEEDS to read the book first. A few friends of mine had already read it and all warned me to ""be prepared to cry.""<br/><br/>Surprisingly, I did not.<br/><br/>The author has set out a tragic tale--a coming-of-age love story involving a terminally ill young woman and a young man in remission. Surrounded by a cast of hapless characters (including a ""nutless"" social worker, an alcoholic author, a hyper-emotional dad, and a hovering mom) they share some incredible experiences and some even more incredible conversations. The dialogue throughout the book is witty and laugh-out-loud funny, despite the ominous storyline. And when I wasn't chuckling at the funny parts (which was honestly about 75% of the book), I felt uplifted by the more somber parts. The author did an amazing job of injecting as much levity as possible to some very serious topics.<br/><br/>The teen-aged characters (including Hazel's and Gus's friend Isaac from support group) were mature beyond their years and brought up some hauntingly honest truths about love, life, and dying. And though this book has been billed as a Young Adult novel, I think it'll will speak to a variety of people. It'll resonate with teenagers who are trying to find where they fit in and anyone who enjoys a love story. Parents who have lost (or fear losing) a child will relate. And anyone who is dealing (or has ever dealt) with loss will take something from this story.<br/><br/>A warning for the more conservative reader...there's some PG-13 language sprinkled throughout the book as well as a couple of references to underage drinking and sexual activity. None of these things, though, stick out as ""inappropriate"" at the times they occur.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1NC94CATWCTC?ASIN=014242417X	Meaningful Work	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Can I just get some ice cream, a box of tissues and a trashcan?<br/><br/>This story blew my mind! I mean it had me in true tears under my throw on my bed. I completely love this book. This is my second time reading one of John Green's book and I was hesitant because the first book I read was not that good to me, but enjoyable so I went into this book with little expectation thinking I wouldn't enjoy it, but I was totally wrong.<br/><br/>This follows the life of Hazel and Augustus, two teens with cancer. It does sound grim at first, but this was far from grim. Hazel's character was absolutely adorable. Despite having thyroid cancer she still wanted to live a normal life. She wanted to do things others did and be treated equally. More so, she wanted to die when the time came and didn't want her parents to do anything but let her go.<br/><br/>Augustus started off as a chipper character: very outgoing, making jokes, keeping people on their toes, but that was his way of deflecting his own issue with osteosarcoma. Despite being healthy for a while, he went back into getting sick after doing the sweetest thing for Hazel.<br/><br/>The way Hazel and Augustus became a couple was truly cute because it wasn't instalove. They took the time to get to know each other and do simple things for one another that made each other smile. I think when they both got sick (Hazel before Europe and Augustus after) they didn't want each other to see each other sick and weak. That spoke volumes, but still was heartfelt.<br/><br/>As the story got closer the end I was in shock by the twist and turn and it took. The person I thought would die totally wasn't the one and I just cried my eyes out. Augustus is super sweet, kind, loving, friendly and caring in so many ways. Hazel was just trying to live her days until it was her time to go.<br/><br/>Another character that I feel was essential to this story was Isaac. He had eye cancer and eventually through surgery he would become blind, but cancer free. His girlfriend truly pissed me off and made me want to jump through the pages and strangle her, but thankfully he had friends like Hazel and Augustus to pull him through.<br/><br/>This is definitely the type of book one needs to read if they want a different outlook on life or just want a heartfelt story to read. Just be prepared with your box of tissue and trashcan.<br/><br/>Next thing to do: go watch the movie!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2WBGK0FEOWT43?ASIN=014242417X	I take it back the fifth star. That's where the fault is.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I originally gave this book 5 starts, but I'm giving it 4 now.<br/><br/>It took me a long time to decide to review this book. I loved it when I read it and I still do. What's not to love? This is the perfect book! It has wonderful characters, a great story ans is magnificently written. It's hard not to like it.<br/><br/>How can you not like to read about two teenagers that at such young age are struggling for their lives knowing that theirs is a lost battle (as are all battles against death)? How can you not be moved by their relationship? How can you not be dazzled by the story?<br/><br/>You can't. Well, at least I couldn't. But it bothered me. There was something about this book that just didn't settle with me and it took me ages to understand what it was, because this book seemed to be the perfect book.<br/><br/>And it is! This is the perfect book. It has everything. It is a very intelligent book, well written and with so much heart! I once heard a famous Hong Kong writer saying that to be a writer you have to sell your heart and when I read this book I remember thinking that John Green must have sold all his family's hearts to write this book.<br/><br/>So where is the fault to me?<br/>Well, I came to the conclusion that the book did not have faults and right there was the fault with it. It has no faults...it has no soul! At least not to me. I like a book where I can relate with the Author. Where I can see a glimpse of the writer's soul, the writer's thoughts, struggles, beliefs. Like when you eat your mother's food and it has the special taste that you would recognize even if you were in Japan, because it has soul.<br/><br/>John Green poured is heart in the book, but not his soul. It's still a wonderful book, but the fifth star? I take it back.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R25L886FS296X1?ASIN=014242417X	Not Just a Cancer Book *Slight Spoilers but Read it Anyway, Okay?*	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Firstly, I would like to say that I am not very good with words so please forgive me if this review is written very poorly or if it is hard to follow.<br/>Secondly, I would like to mention all the people who have read this book and hated it. I have read some of the reviews and the problem that a lot of people had with the book was the fact that Hazel and Augustus weren't ""realistic"" enough and that they ""didn't speak like an average teenager speaks."" I am just going to say that John Green acknowledged this by having Augustus's dad say to Hazel's parents, ""Our children our weird."" after both Hazel and Augustus rant on about a topic that I can't remember at the moment. Also, I will remind you all that Hazel, was, infact, a college student. Both characters were highly intelligent and intellectual and weren't obsessed with small things, like Starbucks and TV for example. Believe it or not, there are some teenagers who are very good with words.<br/>Another problem I have heard of people having with this book, and, in this case, John Green as well, is that John Green ""romanticized cancer."" I don't believe this to be true in the slightest. I believe that with this novel, John Green in now way downgraded cancer or anything about it. If he wanted to do that, I'm sure Hazel and Augustus would have both beaten their cancer and lived happily ever after and enjoyed their cancer free lives. But, we all know that didn't happen. I feel that John Green opened peoples eyes to teens living cancer without making the book ""about cancer."" He created a beautiful love story about two teenagers who just so happen to have cancer. This book was real. People were sick. People were blind. People were hospitalized. People were douches. People were happy.People were hurt. People lived. People died. People were REAL. What more do you want from a book? Real. I don't know about anyone else but the books I love most are the books that make me feel like there is someone that I have to know, that there is someone who has to know me. When I finished this book, I felt that Hazel needed someone to talk to, and for one insane moment, I thought, ""Maybe I can find her and talk to her."" For one moment, Hazel was real. For one moment, the book was real. What more is there to ask for?<br/><br/>Now, with the opinions of others aside, I will (further) express my own opinion.<br/>This book, is perfect in every way. From the realistic characters, to the painful and almost to realistic lost of Augustus Waters, everything was just perfect. This is not a book where you ""wish to be apart of the world"" which, I suppose, is a good thing. Those books are often about wizards and vampires. This book was about life. You don't have to wish to be a part of Hazel's and Augustus's world because they are living life just as we are so we have nothing to wish for (in that case). The only difference between our version of life and theirs, is that they don't actually exist. It only feels like they do.<br/><br/>If you haven't read this book I highly recommend that you do. But, then again, who hasn't read this book at this point. But, just in case: This book is exceptional and totally worth the read. I hope you laugh and cry just as much as I did... and will again once I finish it for the third time.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1NJPOLO83LTMU?ASIN=014242417X	A Depressing, but Bittersweet Love Story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Yes, the book was depressing. It's a bittersweet love story like I said. I mean it's glaring obvious even from the summary of the book. Two young teenagers, Augustus aka Gus and Hazel, meet in a support group who hit it off immediately because they both had similar brilliant minds that were lighting speed. But both went through life changing experiences that threatened their lives.<br/><br/>Honestly there's no 100% happy scenes in this book. It's always touch and go. That isn't a bad thing. But it's pretty hard to want to keep reading to be honest. But I managed to finish it in few hours like I always read books. I was kind of surprised that I was able to finish it which honestly says a lot about the book.<br/><br/>I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to understand death from the survivor's point of view. It's quite enlightening. However, I had a hard time believing that those two kids could use big words and speak like they were geniuses on certain subjects. Even Gus' parents would say at one point regarding Hazel and Gus that ""we have such strange children."" They both had quick minds, sharper tongues and in a language that I would love to speak in real life, but don't. Who does?<br/><br/>For me, I won't be reading this book again. Once was good enough. It didn't make a profound impact on me and made me cry like Marley &amp; Me did. But it was enough to make you think about death and how it affects people. People who never touch death or have had any suffering do forget how to be understanding and how to behave around people who do know it intimately.<br/><br/>For instance, I loved the way the nurse treated Hazel in the hospital. She would say something like, ""Now since you have been gone a few days, what did you miss? A superstar took drugs, politicians got into an argument, and it rained.. Now see what you've missed, don't go away again."" I can't remember the exact words. But it made me chuckle and if I was her in that bed, I would appreciate that. She was better than the nurses who come in and out worried about only your health, but not your spirit.<br/><br/>This book reminds you that no matter what happens in life, appreciate every day and don't forget to say ""I love you"" every day to the people you love. My mother always said that it's stupid to ""live every day like it's your last."" She would say that instead, we should ""Live every day like it's a gift."" I think that Hazel and Gus would laugh at that and say, ""Now that's a great quote."" I sure hope so.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1KAIPVZPM5K1Y?ASIN=014242417X	It is true, the book IS better than the movie	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Seventeen-year-old Hazel Grace Lancaster is dying.  She tells us in the first chapter. “…depression isn’t a side effect of cancer. Depression is a side effect of dying.”  Due to her depression and dying for that matter, her mother and doctor want her to be in a support group. She grudgingly goes, pretends to listen then escapes back home to enjoy the latest addition of her favorite reality show.<br/><br/>Ironically, the only friends she really can relate to are those in the dreaded support group. Isaac who has a rare cancer that will leave him blind and his friend Augustus Waters, a newcomer to the group, make her feel as normal as she can while dragging her ever present oxygen tank behind her.<br/><br/>Augustus was once a star basketball player until cancer claimed one of his legs. He is a video playing, wise cracking guy. Hazel opens up to him in a way she has not connected with anyone in a long time. She tells him of her favorite book, Imperial Affliction by Peter Van Houten. It haunts her because Van Houten ends the book in the middle of a sentence and Hazel feels she has to know the end before she dies.<br/><br/>Van Houten lives in Amsterdam. Gus and Hazel end up connecting with him, but find the source of her obsession may just not be worthy of either of their efforts.<br/><br/>The most striking thing about this book is the concern Hazel has for her parents after she is gone. She is afraid they will divorce or maybe even curl up and die themselves because they no longer have anything to focus on after caring for a dying child for the last several years. This was not an egotistical assumption on her part, she is afraid she has robbed them of their lives.<br/><br/>Wise beyond her years, Hazel also wishes people will look at her and not see someone with cancer. She just wants to be Hazel Grace. That is so profound for a young adult novel. Hazel is wise beyond her years. Not afraid of dying, she is afraid of what her dying will do to anyone close to her. She feels like a bomb ready to explode so she keeps everyone she can at arm’s length so they won’t be hurt when she dies.<br/><br/>I highly recommend this book to young adults and adults. I especially recommend this book to anyone who has or has had a child with a serious illness. Speaking firsthand, it is difficult not to worry, coddle, make exceptions for and obsess about a sick child. Even when they get better, it is hard to see them as well. We need to look beyond the illness and at the person. No special treatment, no worrying about what they eat or don’t eat even though it is hard to treat them like their siblings.<br/><br/>Kudos go to John Green for writing a wonderfully emotional book from the viewpoint of a dying teenage girl. If I could give it more than five stars, I absolutely would.  If you have seen the movie, I beg you to read the book. Everyone has heard “the book is better than the movie”. Even though the movie was good (aside from the teens loudly trying to out- sob each other) but so many important plot points were left out,  you need to read this book.<br/><br/>Copyright © 2014 Laura Hartman</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2O6PKUH9NN6FM?ASIN=014242417X	Apparently this will be a review with anecdotes	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Anecdote the first: I bought the Kindle version, and I liked it so much, I went out and bought the paperback, which I plan to read soon. (there's just something about having the actual book in your hands.) The cashier at the checkout remarked I didn't have tissues in my cart. If he knew it was a weeper, he either read it, saw the movie, or someone in his household did. Whichever one it was, I was charmed that he was aware of the plot.<br/><br/>Anecdote the second: When I was in my early 20s, I had the opportunity to read Love Story. It was probably my sister's book, but I'm an avid reader and was willing to read anything. If I recall correctly, it was a novella, not really very long, and I was able to finish it in a couple of hours, lying on the floor of my parents' living room.<br/><br/>What does that have to do with The Fault in Our Stars?<br/><br/>Spoiler alert: Major characters die in both books, and as a result, I shed tears.<br/><br/>Frankly, I was completely spoiler free. I know, how could this be possible? Well, that's me. (I had no clue about the ending of Sixth Sense either, even though I didn't see it until it actually aired on television months --years?--later.<br/><br/>Back to TFiOS. I did know both main characters had cancer, so it made sense that one of them wouldn't survive to the end of the book, but I assumed it would be the obvious one. As the book progressed, I began to get an uneasy feeling, which proved to be true.<br/><br/>In spite of the topic, this wasn't a depressing book. The characters were wonderful and not one-sided, even Hazel's mom, who I was unsure about. The letter Augustus wrote to Van Houten was beautiful. (I wish someone would write a letter like that to me.)<br/><br/>This is going to be one of those books I'll be reading over in the near future, and whether it's the Kindle version or the paperback... well, it doesn't much matter. I'll just make sure I have a box of tissues handy.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R17SRZUJ9F293A?ASIN=014242417X	Better than average disease of the week book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">John Green it seems is a wildly popular young adult writer also famous for a video blog shared with his brother and the world on you-Tube. The book in question is written from the point of view of a girl dying of cancer who meets a tall handsome young cancer survivor at a support group with whom it is mutual love at first sight. Both are wildly articulate as were Judd Apatow’s characters or Kevin Williamson’s on Dawson’s Creek. Call them old souls or old beyond their years. What sets this book and the movies apart is the fact that the teens in question frankly share the emotions and urges common to people their age. Boys see a pretty girl, their bodies react, and they describe their urges--that does not mean they intend to immediately jump her bones. Is it sinful to think they’d like to? I’m no teenager with raging hormones, in fact the fewer the better for my prostate, but the book is well-written and edited, and eminently readable.<br/><br/>Interesting that the producers found a young pair who epitomized the characters described in the book who additionally shared what is called chemistry and the movie version is topping the charts over the usual crop of action-adventure summer blockbusters--eat your heart out Tom Cruise. What sets both book and movie apart from the usual disease of the week flick is the fact that it’s about living not dying. Not every young male would feel secure enough in his masculinity to allow a girl drive his car when he takes her home because his prosthetic leg makes his driving erratic. It will be interesting to see if this made it to the movie. Given that I began writing this on Father’s Day I would also give a plug to the parents who raised these two.<br/><br/>Cancer victims aren’t given a choice in the matter of hanging tough. It’s either succumb to negativity and expire quickly or fight. It isn’t as if one can get conscientious objector status or be a coward and desert the fight. The title comes from a Shakespearean Sonnet. A lot of the philosophy comes from a fictitious book from a nonexistent authour. Will the trip to Holland make the movie? Since this is a young adult novel we are spared detailed descriptions of the pair’s love-making. What we can’t be spared is the inevitable ending. All people die, young people with cancer die young.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R121WGP6M2V8IE?ASIN=014242417X	Hazel Grace and Augustus' story will take up residence in your heart!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book has been sitting in my Kindle for quite awhile, but I hadn't chosen to read it because I knew it dealt with a teenage cancer patient.  I repeatedly chose other books as my next read because I wasn't wanting to get into a 'heavy' story.  I finally picked it as my next read because I am one who always reads the book before seeing the movie and the movie released recently.<br/><br/>I was captivated and moved by this book like no other I've read in a long while.  It was engaging, irreverent, witty, hopeful and tragic.  It was even 'laugh through your tears,' funny and sad at once.  I felt like I was experiencing the story unfolding in 3D as I read.  The writing was amazing and carried me along on a quick pace to keep up with the witty repartee between Hazel Grace and Augustus.  I was surprised by developments in the plot and enjoyed going along for the ride.  (The major plot twist was .... well, MAJOR, and I'm not going to discuss it and spoil your experience of the story.)<br/><br/>Hazel Grace may be only 16 years old (or 33 half years), but she is wise beyond her youth having had to face life and death with terminal cancer.  Like Hazel Grace, Augustus too is wise beyond his youth.  They have a perspective on life, death and the universe that only can develop through their journeys through diagnosis, treatment, and always facing their mortality.  They are also refreshingly light and young in their pursuit of normalcy.  I must include here a comment about their friend Isaac who having lost his sight brings out some of the best and humorous 'adjusting to the new normal' teenage scenarios.  I don't think the story would have worked without Isaac as the quirky but loyal best friend.<br/><br/>The love story that blossoms from the friendship of Hazel Grace and Augustus - note that I choose to use the names they use for one another - is tender, deep, sweet, and real.  It lifted my heart that in the world of 'Cancervania' their love thrived.  And when it comes right down to the nitty gritty, isn't that what matters - to love and be loved.<br/><br/>Yes, this book is about a 16 year old girl with terminal cancer, and yes my eyes are swollen today from the heart wrenching grief and beauty of the story.  And, YES, I recommend reading this amazing book as soon as you can.  This book is one that will move you in unexpected ways and take up residence in your heart .</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3GVP0Y8YSASA1?ASIN=014242417X	A wonderful story!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">After being engrossed byJohn Green's ""Paper Towns"" a few years ago, I'd had this book on my list for quite some time. I must admit that the primary stimulus to finally getting to it is the release of the movie by the same name, because I like to read the book before seeing the movie whenever I can.<br/><br/>This is the story of a sixteen-year-old girl who has been living with, and overcoming, cancer during her too young life, and what sets this apart from other ""adolescent"" literature is the authenticity of her narrative voice. Actually, that's not totally true, because ""authentic narrative voice"" is one of the many defining characteristics of young adult literature. So perhaps the narrator's ""voice"" is whats set it apart from so many ""cancer"" books. Hers is not a story written upon reflection as an adult; instead, hers is a story written up reflection as she is living her sixteen-year-old life.<br/><br/>As such, she brings other characteristics of effective adolescent literature: the kids are more prominent than the adults, the issues/topics (e.g., insecurity, love, frustration, disappointment, tension) are universal to all adolescents. And John Green does a magnificent job of portraying all of these things through the narrative voice of his female protagonist.<br/><br/>The ""kids"" who are important elements in each other's lives meet in a support group...not for drug addicts or alcoholics, but for kids dealing with life threatening illnesses! Imagine yourself as a high school sophomore sitting in a circle with people you don't know very well and sharing something as personal as your life-threatening illness. Wow! Within that sacred circle, all manner of experiences are shared at varioius points throughout the story, each one more significant (on multiple levels) than those that preceded it.<br/><br/>In addition, Green creates an intellectual climate that allows the major characters to exchange theories of life (and death) that seem unusual for young people, but really shouldn't. Green carefully provides them with a platform for sharing their ideas that encourages even the more relunctant to participate (when ready) and creates opportunities to express their opinions openly and honestly. It is within this setting that Green reminds the reader that young people are capable of more profound thinking and reasoning than most of us realize.<br/><br/>The romantic aspect of the story is stimulated by a book the narrator shares with her closest friend and which causes both of them to wonder: Why did it end in the middle of a sentence? (Talk about your ""open"" ending!) Their curiosity leads them to find out more about the author and tracking him down in Holland to receive the answer to their question in person. (Willing suspension of disbelief plays a role in every good story, and in this case, it seems too true to their characters to challenge belief...really!)<br/><br/>And there are elements that ""connect up"" to provide a clear sense of purpose and meaning throughout. Those connections never hint at being coincidences; instead, they are natural extensions of the relationships within the story.<br/><br/>""The Fault in Our Stars"" is much more than a ""cancer"" story. It is a story of persistence, determination, faith, and friendship that reminds the readers how infinitely important these elements are in our lives, whether face with a life-threatening disease or not.<br/><br/>I look forward to seeing the movie soon!</span>"

I can honestly say that it was worth the wait, because I believe the movie shaped a little more of my view on the book, but we'll get to that.<br/><br/>Many who have read The Fault in Our Stars are probably thinking, ""How can you give the book only THREE stars? Did we read the same book?? It was AMAZING gfghkjhhkhklll."" Well, yes. Yes we did. I had heard so much hype for this book and even Amazon was suggesting it to me every time I logged on. I had an Amazon GC, so I decided to take the plunge and purchase this book.<br/><br/>First let me say that I did like this book a lot. There was this looming foreboding throughout the entire book that made you want to keep reading, even though you knew the ending was probably going to be depressing. It reminded me a lot of My Sister's Keeper with a touch of A Walk to Remember. And although this was a story about cancer which is generally a very courageous topic to write on, I felt like there were strong points and very weak points:<br/><br/>Strong Points:<br/>-The overall theme of the book is a topic that hits a lot of people in the gut. Cancer sucks. And I think there were many ways that John Green portrayed the thought processes and reactions that teenagers may experience. I'm not saying they were spot-on, but we have Hazel, who has a more cynical POV, and then Augustus, whose glass is half full.<br/>-John Green made the effort to add unique elements to the story, such as Augustus' 'metaphor' or the whole concept of An Imperial Affliction. They were interesting and fresh and are a lot of what made the story.<br/>-At surface, the characters are unique. It's comforting to imagine that a kid with cancer is easily positive and wants to make the best of everything, but Hazel was more of a realist. She gave us a glimpse into the reality of a life with cancer when you are meant to be at the very beginning of your journey.<br/>-If you're looking for a tragic teen romance, then you'll love this book.<br/>-There were several poetic elements and quote-worthy lines interposed into the dialogue.<br/><br/>Weak Points:<br/>-Not many teenagers talk like that. Some do, but not many have such a wide vocabulary and can spout off soliloquies of several stanzas at a time. It just isn't realistic.<br/>-The characters were very static. I didn't feel like there was much depth to the characters or the story, and I felt like we could've been taken so many more places than we were.<br/>-There was extreme overuse of ""or whatever."" Especially in the beginning of the book, it felt like it ended almost every single sentence to the point of exhaustion.<br/>-I was totally expecting the book to end similar to An Imperial Affliction, and was almost disappointed when it didn't.<br/><br/>The movie I give 5 stars.</span>"

But, after a twist ,named Augustus Walters, whose leg was claimed by a bone tumor , appears on her boring routine , her life with take an unpredictable turn.  Hazel (she is the narrator of the story) and Augustus meet at a cancer support group. Thou  they are “very different and disagreed about a lot of things,” they always find a way to make their relationship interesting.<br/><br/>John Green create such well crafted characters, and an amazing, never boring plot, it’s inevitable not to love this book.<br/>Loved how Gus (Augustus) loves Hazel even thou he know it’s gong to hurt him sooner or later.<br/><br/>“Hazel Grace…it would be a privilege to have my heart broken by you.”<br/><br/>But not only Gus is suffering (but may not show it) with Hazel’s condition, her parents have to deal with the idea that their only daughter is going to died sooner than they thought. It broke my heart how Hazel’s mom thought she “won’t be a mom any more,” after Hazel dies, which is inevitable. Hazel is “the alpha and omega of (their) suffering.”<br/><br/>The Fault in Our Stars is the best  love story written , yet. Romeo and Juliet. Who?<br/>John Green made us fall in love with his characters and the story itself.<br/><br/>“It’s easy enough to win over people you meet. But getting strangers to love you…now that’s the trick.”<br/><br/>And in the process (of falling in love with the characters) “we (the readers) were all wounded in (their) battle.” A courageous battle.<br/>Like Hazel says, “the world is not a wish-granting factory.” but (in my opinion) for Gus and her, it made an exception to give their love a “a little infinity.”<br/><br/>“Some infinities are bigger than other infinities.”<br/><br/>Their love was a piece of “forever within the numbered days.” They enjoyed their time together “on a roller coaster that only goes up.’<br/><br/>Thou the book deals with cancer (tragic and sad), it mixes humor without being cruel.<br/><br/>“He’s not that smart,” I said to Julie.<br/>“She’s right. It’s just the most really good-looking people are stupid, so I exceed expectations.”<br/>“Right, it’s primarily his hotness,” I said.<br/>“It can be sort of blinding,” he said.<br/>“It actually did blind our friend Isaac,” I said.<br/>“Terrible tragedy, that. But can I help my own deadly beauty?”<br/>“You cannot.”<br/>“It is my burden, this beautiful face.”<br/>“Not to mention your body.”<br/>“seriously, don’t even get me started on my hot bod. You don’t want to see me naked, Dave. Seeing me naked actually took Hazel Grace’s breath away,” he said, nodding toward the oxygen tank.<br/><br/>This book teach us “the most important lesson of all: No matter how hard you kick, no matter how high you get, you can’t go all the way around.”<br/>I’m thankful for the “little infinity” Green gave me with this lovely story. Still, “my thoughts (about this  book) are stars I can’t fathom into constellations.”<br/>Loved this heart-growing book. My heart feels like it’s full and in any minute is going to explode like a grenade. Or it could be all the crying I went through will reading it and after finishing it. 5 (okay maybe 6 or more) Stars</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R39YGXSVVA49S2?ASIN=014242417X	A-MAZ-ING!!!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">It is really hard to compartmentalize all that is The Fault in Our Stars, with its sophisticated writing, witty dialogue, deep themes, heart-felt love story, and the amazing characters; I fell in love with it.  I was really hoping that John Green and his novel was not just another over-hyped book, and I am happy to say that it was not.  It is extremely worth all of the hype surrounding it and then some.  I think that this book will soon become a classic and has the power to change reader’s lives.  Yes, this book is that amazing.  This book brought forth feelings from me that I have never felt reading a book before and it is now categorized as one of my favorite books.<br/><br/>The writing in this book is superb.  With its witty and sarcastic humor, I found myself regularly laughing.  I feel that the writing in this book is advanced for a Young Adult book, not in the way that a teenager is unable to read it, just in the fact that it is incredibly smart and full of deep themes.  I felt like, although the love story was great, that the other messages in this book were very important.  I loved that this book explored the fear of being forgotten after death and urged the importance of living life to its fullest because no one knows when it will be their time to die.  I feel like this book is very relatable to everyone, even individuals who have never been affected by cancer, because it discusses fears that every human has.  I also liked the statement that “pain needs to be felt” because everyone must go through some sort of pain in their lifespan, whether it is a loss of a loved one to a bad break-up, it’s something that we can all relate to.<br/><br/>I absolutely loved all the characters and relationships that were in this book.  I liked the relationship between Hazel and her parents.  As a parent, I can’t imagine what it is like to know for a fact that your child will die.  I liked that it explored Hazel being afraid that she will ruin her parent’s lives if she dies and her mother struggling with being protective over her child, but still letting her live her life.  I also loved the friendship between Isaac and Augustus, as well as the relationship between Augustus and Hazel.  I really enjoyed that Augustus taught Hazel how to live life.  Pre-Gus, Hazel just seemed to sit at home and watch ANTM with her parents, not wanting to create relationships with people who might be affected by her death, but Augustus taught Hazel to live life and embrace love.<br/><br/>Overall, I would recommend this book to everyone: young or old, female or male, romance reader or not…this book was amazing.

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">when I say that this book confuses me, I don't mean that I am unable to understand it, because I do. the reason it confuses me is all the different points of views on cancer that there are in this book. who knows if this is just because I set my expectations to high or I really am just not as emotional as most people but, the heart wrenching scenes that everyone talks about in this book really didn't seem that heart wrenching. even simple changes could have made thier love seem stronger. one thing I can tell about John Green is that personally he has had some experience with cancer, it might've been a friend, a family member or even him. He talks about the obvious medical and physical issues of cancer but not really the emotional issues or at least not as much as I thought he would. from personal experience usually someone who is suffering from cancers last month's are the worst and Gus is no exception. there's the constant vomiting, the hallucinations, and the struggle even to do the little things in life that we take for granted. most likely my opinion is a lot different from others, but the decline in those last month's of a person life when dealing with cancer, is more of a routine than a struggle. at least up until the last couple of weeks. I remember ever day that I would come home from school I'd put down my back pack walk into our living room where my dad basically did everything in and tell him about my day. He would just sit there looking at me with those tired eyes. sometimes he'd say a word or two in return but usually his meals were the only things that would come out of his mouth. deep down inside I knew that the father I loved and admired wasn't really there anymore. people ask me why when my dad is brought up I don't cry or get very emotional and it's because I've already cried all the tears I possibly can in those last few months, knowing it would be his last. I shouldn't criticize this book to harshly but in my opinion I think this book would be better suited for someone without much or any cancer experience but I do think it is a very good read for someone who hasn't because other than the things I mentioned this book really isn't to far off from the reality of it all.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R151FK2DW9Z1LR?ASIN=014242417X	Dad, Father of Three, Seemingly Seeking Obtuse Teen Fiction Surprisingly Not Underwhelmed	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">So, always looking for a good deal, and not knowing anything about the author John Green or the movie now released in the states (I've been living overseas for the past few years, work about 80 hours a week, and sadly don't find much time for fiction), I bought the audio book version of the ""Fault in Our Stars"" two weeks ago mostly because it was the deal of the week. It was on sale and I wanted something to listen to during our drive while we were on vacation. I was interested in the seemingly complex, yet fundamental, philosophical and religious nature of the questions it posed and I figured I could con my spouse into listening to it under the guise that it was a love story (which it is). As an aside, my spouse doesn't typically like to read sad books or watch sad movies. Although she does love the Twilight series. (Wait. I'm sorry. That is a very different kind of sad. Seriously. I tried reading the book; couldn't get past the first few pages.) If I may generalize her point of view: there is enough suffering in the world, we should want to escape it, not experience it, in our entertainment. (She may have a valid point.)<br/><br/>Either way, when I read the description of the book and then saw that it was categorized as ""Kids and Young Adults,"" I was confused. It didn't sound like a typical kids book, not unless it was the kind of book you were assigned to read and begrudgingly write a paper for in high school English class. After listening to the book. I was even more confused. How is it that a novel about existentialism in which young, dying teenagers, confronting the meaning of life, simply categorized as ""Kids and Young Adults, Romance"" because the protagonist is a young adult in a romantic relationship? That was a side-story as far as I read the book.<br/><br/>What is ""Kids and Young Adult"" fiction anyway? That seems like a very strange category. Is there an ""Adult Fiction"" category? (Not that kind of adult fiction!). (Let me check the all-knowing internet... Apparently there is. And that doesn't make any sense either.) We apparently have an unrequited need, not shared by the things (and life) we must categorize, to have others categorize and interpret meaning for us (and then to do so, oh so poorly!). Must we always require someone else to provide meaning for us? Can't we find our own answers? Maybe the people who categorized the book should read the book.<br/><br/>Finding purpose in life, experiencing love, suffering loss, etc., are not issues we solve at 17 and move on from at 18. (Maybe they are. Am I emotionally stunted?) If anything, my life experiences have taught me that I know less about these things now than I was sure I knew at 17. This book would have resonated with me as a 17-year-old, ska-punk band, cross-country runner and resonates with me now as 32 year-old, father-of-three, professional military officer. (Apparently I, like so many millions of others, thanks to Facebook and other various and sundry social media (?) outlets, define myself, and consequently the meaning of my life, in terms of an endless series of ""likes,"" ""dislikes,"" activities, emoticons, and #'s. Hooray! I am a composite of my interests and nothing more! The whole certainly is less than the sum of the parts.)<br/><br/>I feel like Hazel's father when he proclaims something along the lines of how he thought being an adult meant having all the answers, but upon reaching adulthood finds that he does not and is still searching for answers.<br/><br/>Who thought young adult fiction could make this adult think so much... Perhaps the only people who have moved past adolescence are the book categorize-rs. I thank my lucky stars for them. They are the best Father's Day Present ever!</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3RK5J30U5HHJD?ASIN=014242417X	Took Me Awhile	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">In the Fault in Our Stars by John Green we meet a pair of cancer survivors, Hazel Grace Lancaster and Augustus Waters.  They meet at a cancer survivors’ support group for teens.  They fall in love.<br/><br/>I read a lot of Young Adult fiction.  I realize it’s not written for my age group, but I find some of it very well-written and enjoyable.  Why did I read this book? I read it because everyone has been talking about it non-stop, it’s very popular, and it’s now a major movie.  I knew going into this novel that someone was going to die.  Most of the reviews I read were by people saying how sad it was and how much they cried at the end. I normally shy away from those types of stories, but I kept hearing how great this book is and decided to give it a try.<br/><br/>Did I enjoy it?  Yes and no.  Probably more no than yes.  Did I cry when I read it?  No, not at all.  I had read a number of reviews and plot summaries beforehand as I tried to decide whether or not I wanted to read it so I knew going into it who was going to die.  I spent most of the book waiting for it to happen.  I had guessed at how it was going to happen, but I was incorrect in my guess.<br/><br/>Why didn’t I love this book?  I didn’t like that the author never actually describes his characters’ physical appearances.  Hazel had a round face (from steroids) and green eyes.  That’s all I remember him saying about how she looked.  I had a hard time picturing her, and when I see the actress who portrays her in the movie, she doesn’t look 16 to me (she’s not in real life – she’s older).  Augustus is described as lanky, and I think he had blue eyes.  Again, I had trouble seeing this boy in my mind’s eye as I read, and that kind-of spoiled it for me.  I like to “see” the characters as I read.<br/><br/>I didn’t like the way the author has the characters speak. I get that Hazel is supposed to be really smart, and she attends college classes at age 16, but some of the words she used were ridiculous.  I graduated college with a 4.0 (I’m not stupid), and I had to look up some of the words he had her using.  No one talks like that.<br/><br/>I didn’t like the fact that her mother who was very protective and a very involved caregiver allowed a sick 16-year old and a 17-year old to wander around by themselves in a strange foreign city.  They go to Amsterdam to track down the author of Hazel’s favorite book.  Mom goes one way and allows the kids to go do their own thing.  I found that very improbable.  I know it was supposed to be romantic, and parts of it were, but then again the characters behave as if they are in their mid-20’s and not teenagers.<br/><br/>I didn’t like the fact that the miracle drug that Hazel takes isn’t real. I read the author’s notes at the end of the book where he admits that he made it up.  I felt deceived when I read that.  As you read the book, you start to hope that such a medicine might be possible and could extend cancer patients lives by a few months or years.  When I read his notes, I was disappointed.<br/><br/>I also didn’t care for the whole VanHouten part of the story.  Hazel is obsessed with this book she has read about a cancer patient.  The book she read never really ends and just stops mid-sentence.  She doesn’t know if the main character in the book was supposed to have died, and she wants to know the end of the story.  She wants to find the author. I thought this part of the plot went on too long.  At the funeral when VanHouten just comes up and climbs into her parents’ car, I actually rolled my eyes.  Her parents had never met this guy.  Her Dad would have tossed this drunken guy out of his car.  What the heck?  There were times in the story where Hazel and Augustus were far more mature and wiser than the parents were.  That was just silly to me.<br/><br/>Would I recommend this book?  Yes, I do think it’s worth reading.  Would I read it again?  No.  Will I go see the movie?  No.  [Note: I downloaded this book back in January, and it took me until June to read it.]</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3SKHUFF2KGDDP?ASIN=014242417X	I guess it was pretty good, but not great	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book has been on my list for some time, even before the movie came out.  It had an interesting premise, and the number of 5-star reviews was astounding.  But unfortunately for me, the book did not live up to the hype.<br/><br/>On the pro side, the author accurately portrays the realities of cancer, dealing with cancer in children, and the unbelievable weight this disease puts on those who have it, and their families.  I especially enjoyed how the author made a point to compare the realities against the tripe that you see in movies that want to sensationalize the disease and manipulate your emotions.<br/><br/>There was also some great dialogue, and the banter between the two leads was refreshing and fun to read, if a tad unrealistic at times.<br/><br/>But, I was not gripped by the story.  I didn't think it was deep, nor did it keep me glue to the pages to the end.  It was interesting enough to finish, but not a page-turner, as they say.  To be fair, the beginning of the book pulled me in.  But it didn't have the staying power that would compel me to give a 4- or 5-star review.  Like I said in my review title (and I know I am in the minority here), I thought it was good, but not great.<br/><br/>Secondly, I am bothered by this silly notion that so seems to preoccupy so many authors and screenwriters - true romance needs to be validated by sex.  In the book, the two teens have their very first kiss (a great scene, I thought), then run straight back to the hotel and have sex, where the boy loses his virginity.  C'mon, do we have to always employ this trope? If you want to be different, have some guts and write a story where the teenagers *don't* have sex.  Crazy, I know.  Especially 20 minutes after their first kiss.  Good grief.<br/><br/>It is an easy read, and I can see why so many people like it.  But, it only garners three stars from me.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3N8COKJ0BKD19?ASIN=014242417X	Romantic, heartwarming, hilarious, funny and utterly sad.....	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Hazel Grace Lancaster is 16 years old with thyroid cancer that settled in her lungs…”leaving her lungs that suck at being lungs.”  She goes to a Support Group once a week to make her parents happy.  Her parents just want her to be a normal teenager and make new friends.  The Support Group includes young adults that are no older than 18 years old.  In Support Group Hazel meets Augustus Waters.<br/><br/>Hazel, Augustus and Isaac are all good friends.  They are just teens trying to live a normal life all with some form of cancer.  You will laugh with them and also cry with them.<br/><br/>Hazel and Augustus talk about Hazel’s favorite book, “An Imperial Affliction” by the fictional Peter Van Houten.  The book tells the story of a girl with cancer and ends suddenly when the girl dies, and both Hazel and Augustus long to learn what would happen next.  Hazel still has questions on what happens after the end of the novel.  Both Hazel and Augustus write to Peter Van Houten and they are invited to Amsterdam.  As they are falling in love,  Hazel gets the ok from her doctors and is allowed to travel to Amsterdam to meet Peter Van Houten along with her mother and Augustus.<br/><br/>I can honestly say we have never read a book like this before.  This book is romantic,  heart warming,  hilarious, funny,  and utterly sad.  This book is well written and the first book we have read by John Green.  We loved every part of this book.<br/><br/>The Fault In Our Stars is a romantic love story that we could not put down.  In the support group their motto is, “Living our best life today” and Hazel, Augustus and Isaac are all trying to be normal teenagers living with cancer.  You will need tissues reading this book…  We certainly did.  Okay…Okay….</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3UD0IKPOAV015?ASIN=014242417X	hard to write about this without falling into clche...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I wanted to read this because of how Hazel and Augustus speak to each other in the movie trailer. It sounded so...familiar...and I wanted it to be in a book instead of a movie, because movies are shorter and can't live on in my imagination the way books can and do. And I wanted to know that John Green, the author of the novel, created Hazel and Augustus sounding like that, because that meant that's who they really were/are. And that did/do sound just like that in the book, better, even, which means he really knew them and loved them, and it wasn't just that another writer or three came along and punched up all the dialogue to make the movie more marketable, more commercial, more Something than it actually was. And the movie doesn't come out for a few more days, and I'm not sure if I'll even see it now, because even though Gus and Hazel will always *look* like the actors playing them--to me, at least--the bits from the trailer have been augmented with and magnified by the lovely prose of the book in ways the film can't possibly ever live up to.<br/><br/>But those aren't the cliches I was afraid of falling into. What I'm afraid I don't know how to articulate well are the feelings I'm left with after finishing it, about how my life and my love for others and theirs for me is such a privilege, even if it's often ephemeral, fleeting. Like Isaac, I want True Love to be permanent, and maybe it's not realistic to expect that from anyone else, I feel impelled to be a source of Permanent Love in the world around me. I don't know if I can actually do or be such a thing, given how easily I take offense, how pointedly I respond to the faintest perceived slight.<br/><br/>But a man can dream, can't he? And so I shall. And maybe one day before I too pass into the oblivion that Augustus feared, I'll find that, while I haven't reached the lofty heights I aspired to, I will be able to look down at my present self from a somewhat elevated place and know that my efforts weren't in vain, because I will know that I Loved as deeply and as completely as I was capable of. And that will be enough.</span>"

Luckily (for me) they were asleep for the last 50% or so of the book.<br/><br/>""Keep your s*** together,"" I whispered to my lungs - Loc 1369<br/>John Green's take on cancer, the entire outlook of a young woman who knows that she will die (though not when, or how much time she has) really drew me in. He completely steals the reader's pity or even sympathy; instead, you accept it as unchangeable truth, and keep trucking along in reading. It was refreshing, to not have the super sad from the beginning, which, in this style of story, could be taken.<br/><br/>""The weird thing about houses is that they almost always look like nothing is happening inside of them, even though they contain most our lives."" Loc 1471<br/>The depth of thinking, especially in characters so young, forces this novel from a YA genre and into one that is fit for all ages. As a young-ish mother, I related to Hazel as well as her and Gus' mothers. I understood the hovering, the wanting to protect my children, while understanding the will to live your life as you can. I fell in love with Gus alongside the heroine, dreaded every page turn for medical updates, and was outraged with Van Houten and his attitude.<br/><br/>I guess, in simple terms, the only thing I can say is that I loved the book. ""My thoughts are stars I can't fathom into constellations.""  Loc 3206</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R18DR6HHO368ME?ASIN=014242417X	No Fault in the Book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars by John Green is narrated by Hazel, a sixteen year old with stage four thyroid cancer that she says has, “an impressing and long-settles satellite colony” in her lungs. Thanks to a drug treatment she calls “the Miracle” Hazel’s cancer has been kept from spreading further. After going to a support group with many other cancer survivors, she comes across Augustus who has been cancer free for years, but started coming to support his friend. When both of them meet it was love at first sight, because neither could take their eyes off of each other. They both go on a crazy journey with ups and drastic downs, but both fight through and try to make the best of the unknown rime that they have together. Things come to a stop when Hazel ends up on the hospital because her lungs need draining (a side effect of the miracle drug). Life is short, and Hazel doesn’t want to spend it all at home when she has so many opportunities waiting for her out there, like going to Amsterdam to meet her favorite author. But if she goes, can she keep Augustus from loving her? And can she keep from loving him back?<br/> I don’t think I have ever read a book as quickly as I did this one. This book was a page turner, I wanted to know more and more until I realized I finished all of it. I believe that the reason this book is so special, is because it really isn’t a regular love story. This story is more realistic than anything I’ve ever read. Life doesn’t always have happy endings, but it sure does have many exciting moment in between; and I feel that more people should realize that. After reading, I had a whole different mindset of life in general. I realized that the little things in life shouldn’t be taken for granted, because we never know what could happen tomorrow. Yes, I did find many of the metaphors and quotes included in the book were cheesy and pretentious, but in the need the overall moral was what mattered most to me. I really enjoyed reading this book and feel as if more people should buy and read it as well. Despite its very minor flaws, The Fault in Our Stars is ultimately a tale of star-crossed lovers, and although it followed a path of similar cancer books, the ending takes a unpredictable turn which I did not expect. In the end I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants a good laugh, or even a good cry every once in a while.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1SJ11H8H0PJDT?ASIN=014242417X	The writing was great, the characters are amazing, the story itself was funny, lovely, and emotional.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Wow- what can I say about this book that has not already been said? The writing was great; it is honest and real. The story itself was funny, lovely, and emotional. The characters are amazing- I loved how these teens did not let their disease define them. These characters suffered through a variety of emotions, they talked openly, they LIVED their life despite any limitations.<br/><br/>The writer makes an observation how society often views and treats the terminally ill as another entity. I realize that this observation is pretty true - Regretfully I also realize that I have had this mindset myself at one time or another and I think it stems from our own personal awkwardness, anxiety, and fear about a circumstance we all don't fully understand. An important thing for people to remember is by doing this, we are not contributing to any type of quality of life for others. I'm so glad I read this book and I'm glad it is so popular so others also are reminded that we are all people and all of our struggles are different. Any of us could die tomorrow whether it is of disease or an accident. Everyday is a gift, make the most of it!!!!!<br/><br/>My favorite quote:<br/>“There are infinite numbers between 0 and 1. There's .1 and .12 and .112 and an infinite collection of others. Of course, there is a bigger infinite set of numbers between 0 and 2, or between 0 and a million. Some infinities are bigger than other infinities. A writer we used to like taught us that. There are days, many of them, when I resent the size of my unbounded set. I want more numbers than I'm likely to get, and God, I want more numbers for Augustus Waters than he got. But, Gus, my love, I cannot tell you how thankful I am for our little infinity. I wouldn't trade it for the world. You gave me a forever within the numbered days, and I'm grateful.”</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">*Audio book review.<br/><br/>I promised myself that I would find time and a way to read this book BEFORE the movie released. I did this because I watched Divergent and DIDN'T read the book first and I still hate myself for that. I knew that this type of book just wasn't my first choice to actually read so I went ahead and got the Audio Book. My logic was: If I can't stand to READ it, I can stand to LISTEN to it C;<br/><br/>I loved Hazel's voice, not the woman who was reading, but how the character thought and considered her actions. She sounded more like an adult (especially with the big words she threw around so effortlessly), then the 16 year old the author made her out to be.<br/><br/>Gus was Gus. He was kind, sweet, thoughtful, and wanted to give Hazel the best of her days. Though, since Karma is a bitch, it was actually the opposite that happened. I can't really go into much because it's such a big spoiler.<br/><br/>Hazel and Gus's love was so pure and sweet. Your heart broke, from the beginning for them, because you knew they had a shorter infinitely, then the rest of us. If you consider it, the relationship was hopeless from the beginning. I'm tearing up while writing this, but, MY GOD, this touched my heart...<br/><br/>I HATED that ending. I believe that EVERY character I read about has to have an end. Be it dead, with a family, or just plain suffering in a hospital bed for eternity. I will never get an end for Hazel and (if you read the book) you'll know how ironic it is because it's the same dream that Gus tried to fulfill for Hazel.<br/><br/>Final Conclusion: You start out the story thinking it'll go one way, but you get the rug pulled out from under you by the last third of the novel and boy, was I breathless when that happened.<br/><br/>Audio Book Review:<br/>I loved the woman's voice for this (Her name is: Kate Rudd). I found it cute that she actually made an effort to change the severity/tone of her voice for me to actually realize that it's another character talking and not just Hazel day dreaming.<br/><br/>Favorite Quotes:<br/><br/>No quotes this time! I actually listened to this at night so even if I wanted to burn my retinas and write down the quotes I was just TOO lazy to preform the act C;</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R346KIF9UM1J1Y?ASIN=014242417X	Touching!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read The Fault in Our Stars because my boyfriend's thirteen-year-old cousin loves this book, and I wanted to read it so we could see the movie together upon its release. I'm not going to rehash the plot because other reviewers have already done so. TFIOS was the first book I ever read by John Green. I liked his writing style; I thought it was fluid and easy to follow. I thought many of his descriptions were lovely to read, especially those of Amsterdam. I've read a lot of YA love stories by female writers, so it was refreshing to read a love story written by a guy. I definitely think this is a book that both male and female readers can enjoy.  Even though I really enjoyed the story and was very touched by it, I agree with some reviewers who have said that the main characters and writing can come across as a little pretentious. I don't think it's totally realistic for teenagers (or most people, for that matter) to quote whole passages of poetry and novels to each other in casual conversation, and I don't mean this at all condescendingly.<br/><br/>Also, at times, I was a little annoyed by the main character, Hazel Grace. There were times she came across as having a pretty bad attitude and seemed to look down on others, as though they somehow couldn't measure up to her greatness. This, however, is somewhat of a double-edged sword because she IS struggling with something extremely significant, something of which would lower anyone's spirits. My only warning is this: readers looking for an in-depth look at a person's struggles with cancer is not necessarily going to find it here. Even though John Green does go into detail about the issue, the topic of cancer is pretty minimal compared to other things that occur in the story -- and he has admitted himself that he altered a few realities of cancer to do what he wanted with the story. My suggestion, as always, is to try the book out yourself and to go into it with an open mind. Happy reading!</span>"

I knew it was vastly popular so I was curious and wanted to see what all the hype was about.  I didn't even bother with the sample, just went for it.<br/><br/>I should say I've never read a John Green novel, I knew nothing about him or his previous works, and I had no idea about this book minus the fact that it dealt with two teenagers who meet at a cancer support group and I figured it could go so many ways.<br/><br/>After this I will be checking out all of his other works!  First, I had NO idea(again, completely clueless here) that John Green hails from Indianapolis, nor did I know the book took place in Indianapolis, but the small little bits of Indiana mixed into the novel made me love it even more as I too am a fellow Hoosier.<br/><br/>I absolutely INHALED this book. It was a very quick read and I managed to read it in pretty much one sitting because I couldn't put it down.  First off, I adored John Green's writing style, it was witty and complex intermixed with just that right amount of humor to make it impossible to put down.<br/><br/>This book, however, just took my breath away.  It was so nuanced and detailed. It had depth and humor at just the right moments, and it broke my heart.  At times I wasn't sure if it was an accurate portrayal of how teenagers interact, but then I reminded myself that Hazel Grace and Augustus weren't your ""average"" teenagers.  But to be honest, even if it wasn't 100% accurate, I didn't care.  I loved it anyway.  I fell in love with both Augustus and Hazel, but secondly I adored Hazel's parents.  I loved her sweet, caring father, and her always championing mother.<br/><br/>This is one of those books I'm so glad I just took a chance on and it's one that I'm still thinking about days later(I finished the book in the wee hours on Saturday).  I think it is one I foresee myself reading again because I want to get swept up in the characters again.<br/><br/>I can't wait to read more of John Green's books!</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RJIO4ACBI9IQB?ASIN=014242417X	amazing!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars Review (Spoiler alert) After finishing The Fault in Our Stars I was completely overwhelmed with emotion, this book was utterly amazing and I felt the need for some sort of review to acknowledge this piece of work. Now I haven’t written many reviews, so bare with me. I started reading this book on a plane ride and from the first paragraph I was so entranced with the humor and stunning sort of sarcastic writing, that had me nailed to the page at first glance. What really caught my eye in the beginning was how he introduced the character through a way that made you want to connect and feel what the character was feeling. To begin with, John Green uses lots of symbolism and metaphors, for example: he often refers to the cigarette between Augustus`s lips (20). I think the way Green pulls your attention is through the constant unexpected events, like when at first Hazel feels anger when Augustus is putting a cigarette between his teeth until he explains the metaphor behind it. John Green seems to have all these sayings and quotes that stick with you forever. I mean, are you really ever going to see a cigarette the same way again after reading this book? Of course not! He brings this story to life by these quotes and sayings, by his emotion and constant humor. Another aspect of this book that I noticed was John Greens constant ability to bring about an emotion, a feeling through every word being spoken in your head. I laughed and cried many times during this book. And talk about unexpected events! Who would’ve guessed that Augustus would be the one to pass? I sure didn’t. Another way that Green decides to use symbolism is through his constant reference to An Imperial Affliction. He shows us that just like a book our life can end just like that without any warning that they will never know what happens to Anna and they suppose she died. And life can end just like that, when we are in full swing it can happen, John Green was using this book as a symbol to tell us all of those things. I also feel the author is trying to portray that famous human beings, like the author of An Imperial Affliction, don’t always turn out to be what we think them up to be in our head. The author turned out to be a horrible drunk that was very rude and condescending to Hazel and Augustus, but we do find out that he had a horrible loss of his daughter when she was very young. This all does make a lot of sense to the way he is, but in Hazels mind he was this hero that wrote a piece of work to inspire people and change lives when really he was writing in pain and letting out all of his emotion onto the page, which in turn is very inspiring to us, the reader and Hazel as well as Augustus. Completely surprising us with this change of events and the story behind it all. What I also noticed in the book is that it really does end like An Imperial Affliction, we never really find out what happened to Hazel after Augustus died. We don’t ever hear an epilog or what her life turned out to be. The book just stops. But that is also the beauty of it, we get to have all these emotions built up and thrown at us through 313 pages and it just ends to let our mind wonder and explore our own endings in our head. This I feel is an amazing thing because our imagination can carry us so far. To tell you the truth, like it said in the book, I feel that this book is mine, like it has empowered me to write. It has empowered me to believe in love and believe in hope, to understand also that life can end on a dime. This book has made me want to live my every day to the fullest and love at every chance I get. I empower you to read this book if you would like to laugh and cry and just be completely overwhelmed with emotion until the very last page.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RCEP5Q09Y4FUB?ASIN=014242417X	Heart wrenching and Lovely.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Warning: This review may contain spoilers<br/><br/>I have been dragging my feet literally when it came to reading this book.  See, I thought this book was going to be too overly sentimental.  Plus, I have never read any book by John Green before.  I also thought this was going to be like A Walk to Remember by Nicholas Sparks.  I was right, in a way.  When I was able to purchase the audiobook (via an Amazon Local Promo) last week, I decided to listen.  Initially, I had thought I would be listening to the book over the course of a week while driving from work but it did not pan out that way.  I was able to finish it in less than 24 hours.<br/><br/>The Fault in Our Stars is about two cancer teens.  One with terminal cancer (Hazel) and one in remission (Augustus).  Both of them met at a Cancer support group.  Both of them fell in love.  Naturally, when we are talking about cancer, this story does not end well…for both of them.<br/><br/>I cannot stop gushing about this book.  This is just simply a work of absolute brilliance.  John Green really captured the feelings of being a teen and being terminally ill.  Not that I have been terminally ill but in my line of work, I am exposed to these sorts of things – being around the terminally ill, I mean.<br/><br/>I love the overall pace and feel of the book.  And for a cancer book, it wasn’t really about cancer.  It was more about the love between two people complicated by cancer.  This is one of the reasons that I love the story.  The voice of the main characters Hazel and Augustus didn’t really sound like normal teenagers.  But then, they weren’t really normal teenagers.  I love their vocabulary.  Granting that not a majority of teens speak like them but I’d like to think that because of their condition, they are more mature than your regular 16 and 17 year old.<br/><br/>I love the secondary story about Hazel’s favorite book “An Imperial Affliction” by Peter Van Houten.  I think that including this in the plot really made us see how strong Gus’ feelings towards Hazel is.  When he went out of his way to give up his wish so that they could go to Amsterdam to meet Van Houten.<br/><br/>I also love the twists of the story.  I knew someone was going to die.  The question was: who would die first.  Initially, I thought that Hazel would be the one to go but then when Gus said that “he lit up like a Christmas tree” I knew that it wouldn’t be so.  I also loved how the author portrayed a very strong female character in Hazel.  Initially, she didn’t start out that way but as the story progressed you could see that she was.<br/><br/>I love the reality that was injected into the story.  The incontinence, the vomit – everything that you see when there is terminal cancer involved.  Including the medical lingo that Green used.  I am used to hearing those terms and I thought those were incorporated to the story really well.  So it did feel very realistic.<br/><br/>The story was written really simply.  I love that.  It was straight forward but it told the whole story really well.  Sort of like using a few words to adequately describe something.  Concise.<br/><br/>I cried.  I did.  I could not help myself.  This was emotional but not in an overly dramatic sort of way but real.  I really empathized with them, even with Isaac.<br/><br/>My favorite quote would be the one when Gus said, “Maybe ok can be our always.”<br/><br/>THE AUDIOBOOK<br/><br/>The audiobook is narrated by Kate Rudd and I love her narration.  I love the changes in voices that she used, especially between Hazel and Gus.  When her voice breaks and cracks at the appropriate times is just brilliant!  I actually felt like it was Hazel talking to me.<br/><br/>I liked the pacing that she used and I was able to follow the story without any problem at all.  I also think that her narration added to the overall effect of the book.  I liked that she sounded like a teenager trying to be an adult.  Since I listened to this book without pause, I did not get bored or get annoyed by her voice.  Overall, this was one amazing listen.  I would definitely find out more about the books read by Kate Rudd.<br/><br/>Originally posted on my blog I Heart Romance</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2LL7L13129SGE?ASIN=014242417X	A Beautiful Fluff Piece	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">When I first picked up this book I was on a bit of a dry spell with contemporary literature. I had read the beginning pages of Fault before but it never grabbed me immediately. Upon recommendations I decided to give another go at it, and I’m glad I did. The premise of the book is essentially a love story between two teenagers who have cancer. A lot of what the pair say are beyond their years, but I never felt it was impossible for them to speak such. There are many novels that give me a sense the author is pretending to be the characters, but fortunately it did not happen here. I was very clear who Hazel and Augustus are, and I almost felt a kinship with them. Perhaps it is because of that kinship I was also completely heartbroken the entire time reading it. In particular, I spared no tears reading the last part of the book, and the last time the waterworks happened was reading The Kite Runner five years ago.<br/><br/>It is true that John Green is incredibly gifted with making sublime sentences that make your mouth water. So often while reading I marveled at his ability to create these vivid scenes in my mind, and I was completely jealous that I was not able to do the same. After I finished I reflected on the message the novel wants to present, and I wasn't sure there is one. This might be the one flaw of the book – the lack of a take away. It appears that this book is just a story, a beautifully made fluff piece, much like many Hollywood films we watch for enjoyment not for thoughtful reexamination of our lives.<br/><br/>Despite that, I would still recommend reading this novel, if not for the superior sentences, then for the fact that Green quotes William Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar, T.S. Eliot’s “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock,” and William Carlos Williams’ “The Red Wheelbarrow,” all of my favorites. So needless to say it certainly struck a cord with me. If you enjoy a quick read that you can savor, but is not life altering, then this is the book for you.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1T9CEMJLWQD2S?ASIN=014242417X	Great Book That Will Touch You	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read ""The Fault in our Stars"" by John Green today. I often hesitate with ratings and reviews because the judgment of a reader towards a beloved, boring, or satisfying book is so inequitable. How does one compare ""Atlas Shrugged"" against ""Leaves of Grass"", or rate ""The Upanishads"" using the same classifiers as one does with ""Gone Girl""? How does our own subjectivity play out within a five point system? A book is capable of touching me on many levels. Who am I to say that certain levels are better than others? And yet, as a subjective person, I find some writing more meaningful to me than others.<br/><br/> What I can state is whether a book touched me or not. I can assess whether a book surprised me, challenged me, left me with a sense of wonder, lifted me, seduced me, or simply passed time pleasantly. There are also books that cannot move me past the first few pages. How meaningful that should be to anyone else is uncertain. As an avid bibliophile, my proclivities in books somewhat define me. I often hold them close, not even singly, but en total, as a treasure that I would rather not discuss. The gifts within books reveal themselves to me the way a pyramid accumulates width and depth, stone by stone, yet within a larger scheme.<br/><br/> Within this larger scheme, I can assert that this book is popular for a reason. In my own mind, that reason is valid. I am a sucker for some of the techniques used in it. On the other hand, I knew the story before finishing the first page. The sign of this book's largess is that the knowledge did not diminish the experience of the book itself for me. I would have preferred one character to have been further redeemed. I would have preferred this or that or the other, but it was not my novel to write. Yet, all novels become ours when we read them. Therefore I can say that John Green's novel was an enhancement. ""The Fault in our Stars"" enriched this reader, and I place a high value on being able to make that statement.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1QE7WU3QQ11TU?ASIN=014242417X	So Much More Than Just a Love Story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">‘But it is the nature of stars to cross, and never was Shakespeare more wrong than when he has Cassius note, ‘The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars / But in ourselves.’<br/><br/>The contemporary genre in general has never been my go-to type to read. Personally I like to sit down with a book and open up onto another world. Not necessarily fantasy but I’ve never cared to read about real-life problems that humans have to deal with on a day to day basis. Depression, death, heartbreak and everything along those lines that manage to make life so dreadfully difficult. For this reason, I always avoided John Green’s novels and this one in particular because, who wants to read about a girl that’s dying of cancer? Apparently, me. This was my first John Green novel, yet I can safely say this will not be my last. And the one thing everyone wants to know: I didn’t cry. Okay, I didn’t BAWL but it did come pretty close and for me that’s pretty miraculous.<br/><br/>‘You realize that trying to keep your distance from me will not lessen my affection for you. All efforts to save me from you will fail.’<br/><br/>Hazel Grace Lancaster is a girl who doesn’t expect to live for very long at all. As she puts it so eloquently, “I’m a grenade and at some point I’m going to blow up and I would like to minimize the casualties, okay?” She knows she’s going to die, she knows it’s inevitable that she’s going to cause some pain, but she’s doing the best she possibly can to keep people at a distance so as to not cause any unnecessary pain. Then she meets Augustus Waters. These two meet in a cancer support group and they are two peas in a pod getting along so well so quickly and falling for one another equally as quick. While suffering through the harsh realities of life with cancer, these two add a flair of wit and sarcasm that manages to make the bleakest of subjects surprisingly funny. Regardless of the humor these two imbue into the story, those harsh realities make their expected appearance so as to cause heartbreak and great distress forcing us as the reader back into the tragic reality of the lives they’ve been given.<br/><br/>‘You have a choice in this world, I believe, about how to tell sad stories, and we made the funny choice.’<br/><br/>Hazel and Augustus are the stars of this show but there are several other noteworthy characters as well. Their friend Isaac recently underwent a surgery which made him blind but prior to that he was dealing with the loss of his long-term girlfriend. So after the surgery, Hazel and Augustus take him over to her house so he can egg her car. At one point, Augustus says, “Hazel Grace! Take a picture of this so Isaac can see it when they invent robot eyes.” I rewound that on my audiobook about three times because it was so ridiculous yet so touching how these three bonded together to be there for one another. It made me laugh, it made me smile and it made me sad because of their unfortunate circumstances.<br/><br/>In addition to the strong friendships showcased, there was another surprising addition to this story and that’s a strong parent presence and relationship. It’s often seen in YA fiction the complete lack of parents but not only were Hazel’s parents present, they were a huge and necessary support group for her and it was such a joy to see. It was clear that Hazel’s mother was trying to make her daughter as happy as possible for the short time she had.<br/><br/>“HAZEL! IT’S YOUR THIRTY-THIRD HALF BIRTHDAY!”<br/>“Ohhhhhh,” I said. My mom was really super into celebration maximization. IT’S ARBOR DAY! LET’S HUG TREES AND EAT CAKE! COLUMBUS BROUGHT SMALLPOX TO THE NATIVES; WE SHALL RECALL THE OCCASION WITH A PICNIC!, etc.”<br/><br/>The Fault In Our Stars is a love story but it’s so much more than that. This is a truly heartbreaking and powerful tale. We’re given such a small amount of time to live as it is yet the characters in this story are given even less. Cancer is a thief, a robber, a purloiner of time. Living life to its absolute fullest is the only thing you can do and these characters did just that. I am highly recommending this book even for those of you who were like me and didn’t care to suffer through the heartbreak of watching fictional characters die. Looking past the heartbreak and suffering you’ll see a hopefulness and a zeal for life that is quite contagious. So, give it a shot, okay? Okay.</span>"

This show will be spoiler free.<br/><br/>The Fault In Our Stars, or TFiOS as it's affectionately known by its loyal fan base, tells the story of Hazel Grace, a teenager with terminal cancer. In the first chapter she meets Augustus, whose own cancer is in remission.<br/><br/>Hazel requires constant oxygen because, as she says, ""Her lungs suck at being lungs,"" while Augustus lost his leg in his fight to conquer the disease.<br/><br/>The two of them immediately feel a magnetic attraction and swiftly fall in love, sharing discussions about life and philosophy, literature, art, and the nature of infinity.<br/><br/>In particular they become obsessed with An Imperial Affliction, a novel about a teenage cancer victim by the mysterious Peter Van Houten, who long ago retired to the Netherlands.<br/><br/>In an act of supreme cruelty, or brilliance, depending on who you ask, Van Houten didn't really end his novel, interrupting it mid sentence on the last page to indicate that the main character passed away.<br/><br/>It's a bold statement about the nature of death and how it isn't all wrapped up in the end, which Hazel and Augustus can sympathize with.<br/><br/>While that's very very deep and meaningful and Hazel and Augustus completely understand the message, Hazel has been obsessed with finding out what happened to the other characters after the novel's last page.<br/><br/>After some unsatisfying correspondence with Van Houten, they decide to seek him out in the Netherlands to seek their answers.<br/><br/>This story carried deeper significance to me than merely two star-crossed lovers brought together by their maladies. My father is a cancer survivor twice, and I lost my mother to breast cancer three years ago. So with that in mind, this book had moments that were difficult to get through.<br/><br/>But as someone with personal experience, I can say that the depiction of cancer victims in TFiOS is excellently done. Cancer changes everything about your life except for the fact that, like the rest of us, you still have to live it.<br/><br/>It's actually incorrect of us to describe people as cancer victims, because those are two words that do not define them. They are people who have cancer. People comes first.<br/><br/>They are just like the rest of us in that they have hopes and dreams and fears and faults, and they just also happen to have this incredibly terrible disease.<br/><br/>Like any major life experience, cancer shapes the way that Hazel and Gus see the world, but it doesn't define them as people. They are who they are for the same reasons as the rest of us--the way and place they were raised, the things they've seen and done, and the thoughts they've had about life.<br/><br/>This is summed up best by their relationship. Hazel is not in love with Augustus because he, like her, has cancer. She falls in love with him because he is beautiful, inside and out, and their personalities mesh in a way she's never experienced before. His cancer has nothing to do with it, other than the fact that it's something they can both relate to.<br/><br/>In the story, their illness does double time as a plot device. For the average American teenager, a spur-of-the-moment romantic trip to the Netherlands simply isn't feasible, but Hazel and Augustus are able to do it because of an organization similar to the ""Make a Wish"" foundation.<br/><br/>In this way, John Green provided a believable solution to a problem that would otherwise require some sort of eye-rolling deus ex machina moment.<br/><br/>I'd like to take a brief moment to discuss the dialogue in the story. In my review of Divergent I complained about how the teenagers would randomly spout philosophy incongruent with their general dialogue.<br/><br/>In TFiOS, Hazel and Augustus are veritable philosophical machines, but it works because their disease has turned their attention inward, and they've become analytical about life, death, the universe and everything.<br/><br/>A note on writing style: this was my first John Green book, and as I flipped through the editorial reviews in the beginning, there was a comment from E. Lockhart stating, and I quote, ""John Green is one of the best writers alive."" And I was like, ""Psssh. Yeah. Okay.""<br/><br/>After reading the book, he might not be wrong.<br/><br/>I debated my rating on this book because five stars means I would recommend it to anyone without question, but due to its emotional content I wondered if I would actually do that, considering how many of us have lost people to this disease.<br/><br/>But in the end, it was just too good. I give The Fault in Our Stars five stars out of five.<br/><br/>No book that I'VE read in the last decade has had this much of an emotional impact on me or done so much to communicate the reality of the terminally ill.<br/><br/>The nature of my five-minute book reviews means I can't possibly do it justice within this video, so in summary I can only say that this book is important to all of us, not just those who are suffering from cancer, but those who are suffering from the other great side effect of death: life.<br/><br/>Thank you for watching.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R383ZC8CTAAGRG?ASIN=014242417X	The fault was not in the stars.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was so unrealistic I kept getting annoyed and couldn't enjoy the story. It a sad theme,we know from the outset someone is going to die from cancer. Hazel has cancer, carries an oxygen tank and needs special apparatus at night to help her breathe. Yet  one moment she is on death's door, the next she is flying off to Europe. She manages to get out of bed in the middle of the night, equipment and all I presume, without her parents noticing and drive to meet Augustus. She's sixteen I think and has been ill for around three years so not sure when or how she managed to learn to drive. Apart from us knowing she has cancer and the equipment she needs, she does not seem to be very inconvenienced by her illness. One of the characters becomes very ill towards the end of the book and that is the only realistic, unpleasant reality of cancer that we glimpse. Augustus is too perfect as a character, good-looking, charming, intelligent ,witty and so mature and.... completely unrealistic. Both Augustus and Hazel have been very ill teenagers and yet they are so mature and accepting of what is to come. Apart from the physical changes, they seem to have suffered none  of the psychological effects that cancer would have, especially on a teenager who would have so many other changes to deal with also. They certainly do not speak like teenagers, they are witty all the time and make comparisons with events from works of literature etc. They are obviously so well read they have a mastering of the English language way beyond most people. Yet Hazel left school at thirteen and as far as we know has only read one book, presumably Augustus missed some of his education also.<br/>If the characters has been a bit older I could have accepted them being so mature maybe. I liked the idea of this book but I think the story should have reflected the harsh reality of cancer a bit more (after all it was the main theme) and the emotions that they might have had to deal with. I'm normally quite an emotional person but this book did not move me probably because I didn't feel we were about to lose 'real' people.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3680CYO8U76ER?ASIN=014242417X	A different approach to pain and early death....	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is a moving story of a couple of teen age children (a girl and a boy) afflicted with terminal cancer. John Green tells the story through the voice of the girl. It is very matter of fact and does not drip with self pity or sadness. But the narrative is so moving that if these pages do not bring tears to your eyes, your heart will have to be of stone!<br/><br/>Death is not only inevitable but possible at any moment in our lives. However, we are evolutionarily trained to compartmentalize this fact and handle life as if we will live  forever. Only when facing a terminal disease and given a short time to live, do people honestly look at the meaning of their lives and contemplate what they would have done differently. Some then try to make the best of their remaining life while others wallow in misery or prayer. The situation becomes even more tragic when children have to go through this. In recent years due to various known and unknown reasons incidence of cancer has increased - even in children. Most of us seldom imagine (or can imagine even if we try) what will be going through their minds as they fight this deadly disease and handle  the pain of the disease as well as its treatment. But very clearly - John Green can.<br/><br/>We have heard that sometimes the treatment is worse than the disease. This is especially true for cancer. And further, in many cases, hundreds of thousands of dollars are spent for extending the life of a patient by a few months. But how do we draw the line? These are very tough questions that our society will have to solve. And how do we handle the emotional trauma of the patients and their families, especially in the case of children and their parents?<br/><br/>This book will make you ponder these questions, in addition to giving you a beautiful story to read.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3PTIAVRYVU7CE?ASIN=014242417X	Some infinities are bigger than other infinities	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">_The Fault in Our Stars_ is the very best in YA literature where kids are treated like adults by the writer and yet still realistically tethered to doting parents; Children struggling to become their own person and parents who ""just wanted to enjoy [their child's] show while it was still in town.""<br/><br/>Here, the children are battling the ""emperor of all illnesses"", the ""imperial affliction"" of cancer. So there is gut-wrenching suffering, but, more front and center are Green's well-informed allusions to literature and science and art, all we need to try to answer the eternal existential questions of what it means to be alive. There is no simple cliche ""lengthy battle with cancer"", but instead ""a lengthy battle with human consciousness"", the realization of the ""the universe's need to make and unmake all that is possible."" Life for both 15 year old Hazel Grace and 17 year old Augustus Waters is termed a ""side effect of dying"". Because their bodies have betrayed them, their brains are the focus, thus understandably, they are both bitter and cynical and angry at what fate has dealt them. But, what drives them and their story is a deeply intellectual compulsion to feel everything, answer the demand of the universe to be observed. The suffering is cut by brilliantly self-referential gallows humor, full of heart and youth and curiosity and longing for understanding and to be understood.<br/><br/>It's a great love story and there's a mission, purposefully off to a rapid start because there's no time to spare in either of their lives, culminating in an at once disappointing but still utterly glorious magical time among elm seeds falling like snow.<br/><br/>There is beautiful language throughout.<br/>Hazel remarking on Gus's selflessness: ""I liked the way his story ended with someone else.""<br/>Speaking of the non-space but very real space they occupied when they were on the phone with each other, Hazel observes, ""I could hear his crooked smile.""<br/>Friendships in illness: ""'Hmm,' she said. 'Hmm,' I said.""<br/>Gus's stubborn forthrightness: ""'I'm in love with you, and I'm not in the business of denying myself the simple pleasure of saying true things.'""<br/>And the refrain that'll stay with an observant reader a long time: ""It seemed like forever ago, like we'd had this brief but still infinite forever. Some infinities are bigger than other infinities.""<br/><br/>As for critique, I couldn't help noticing how very alike Hazel and Gus were, like two sides of the same coin, really male and female versions of the same character. I loved them both, but still wish there'd been some characteristics that made them unique. All the mentions of breathing hardware did tend to get repetitive and, though I felt the sorrow in what was happening, I kept wanting to feel more. No doubt, the emotions resonated, but could have resonated even more. (perhaps if the characters had been built with a smidge more layering) Nonetheless, I'll remember these kids and I'll remember this book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R16PQC2IVNDMDJ?ASIN=014242417X	Perfect in every way <3	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This story made me cry, no doubt.<br/>But, besides the usual scarring that comes from the death of such a beloved character as Augustus, I was illuminated. The thoughts that cross my mind are no longer unimportant. I question anything and everything, and my way of thinking has been irrevocably affected by both Hazel Grace and Gus. I can only fathom a guess as to what it felt to loose the only person who meant the world to you, and I think the most stressing part of the whole situation was not being able to live a longer life with that person. Yet, this is what made their relationship so beautiful and perfect; that even though they knew that death would one day befall upon them, they lived their lives with no regrets. I wish I was like Gus, with the same sense of humor that, as quoted, didn't offend anyone. I wish I had his will and determination to put other's happiness before his own, even till his Final Days. The strength he had to keep living on that sloping roller coaster was admirable, even without a limb. Hazel is more relatable in the fact that she is a teenage girl, and that I want her philosophical ways of thinking about life like a slap in the face.<br/><br/>What I would give for a sequel, or a second book about living and loving with cancer. I would continue to cry my eyes out and accept that life is indeed one big roller coaster. I thank John Green for this glorious book, and I cant wait to read the rest of his collection and purchase this book &lt;3<br/><br/>I recommend this book to people who feel like their life isn't worth living, or people who are going through a hard time. This book is meant for everybody, but I think that people biting it would benefit from the wonders that this story has to offer. I really don't know what else to say, other that this is definitely the best book Ive ever read.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R246QZ9NW56TU?ASIN=014242417X	Emotionally Exhausting, Dramatically Intriguing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Today I am tackling one of the most emotionally draining books that I have read to date in 2014. My daughter introduced me to the book, and as we both have a love of literature I knew that she had made a good recommendation. She most definitely did!<br/>The Fault in Our Stars is a powerful, emotional, dynamic roller coaster ride from start to finish. What first grabbed my attention was Green's attention to creating characters that the reader could easily relate to. Hazel Grace Lancaster is not a typical teenager. Neither are her friends. When you have cancer, your life is no longer dictated by trips to the mall, the latest fashions, the next television fandom, the latest book series to be made into a movie, or any of the typical teenage concerns. Cancer is like a leash that leads you around. For Hazel she is constantly tethered to an oxygen tank. Grace would love to fly solo through life, waiting for that day when the cancer wins the battle. Her parents, however, want her to have more in her life than just them. They encourage her to attend a cancer support group on a more regular basis, thus she is introduced to the dynamic and funny, Augustus Waters. Augustus looks normal and healthy, he has charisma that makes him different than the usual group of attendees. When he compliments Hazel and draws her into a conversation, attraction is for the most part, immediate.<br/>The story is inspired by the following quote:<br/>""The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, / But in ourselves, that we are underlings.""<br/>This quote is from William Shakespeare's Julius Caesar. I will admit I found a different statement within the book, that seemed more befitting the title, but find this one equally intriguing.<br/>Green does a stupendous job of bringing together three teens who all have cancer, but still want to live life to the fullest. Each of them; Hazel, Augustus and Isaac; have different types of cancer, but when it comes to life they are all living the same day to day challenge of not giving up. The book is both humorous and poignant. The characters are the star attraction, buoyed by the words Green has strung together to develop a plot and story line that is not just about dying. Crying, that is something you should be prepared for. Stock up on tissue before you plan to read the book.<br/>I will admit I truly hated one character in the book, Peter Van Houten, the author of the book, An Imperial Affliction. The book has left a lasting impression on Hazel, and Augustus once he reads it. Together they aim to meet the author they both admire, but the man they meet is far from the person they had hoped he would be, he is a huge disappointment. I understand that he had to be the villain, but I really had an emotional hatred for the character. I highly recommend this book. I am also aiming to see the movie that is coming in June 2014. I admit a little uncertainty about the film, but am willing to remain open minded.</span>"

I got it and took it up to read before bed one evening.I read the first five pages or so and I slammed the book shut and exclaimed to my husband "" You will NOT believe what this book is about! A young girl DYING from Thyroid cancer!""  He laughed out loud and said you have GOT to be kidding! Only you would buy a book like that.. not knowing.<br/><br/>You see the ""funny"" part is, I HAD Thyroid cancer and my mom died from it!  I am no stranger to it and it's not particularly  a subject I care to talk about too much.  That being said, I figured that this book came to me for a reason so I probably should continue on.. just not on that night.<br/><br/> I finally did start the book and wondering every step if I really should read it or not.  I kept right on with it and got about half way through and thought it wasn't holding my interest enough or else I wasn't feeling it because I didn't want to feel it? Perhaps if I had been an innocent bystander, meaning not really knowing anything about cancer or Thyroid in particular, I may have felt differently?<br/><br/> Anyway, I pushed on and I started to become interested and started having outburst of laughter while tears of sadness rolled down my face.  I have never read a book that did that to me before. It wasn't non-stop, but those times when I did do it made me continue on.  By the time I was 3/4 of the way through I thought I knew what would happen and I was pleasantly surprised.. for more than one reason. I could relate to the feelings of the kids.. having lost someone dear to cancer and from going through the utter terror and uncertainty myself... it was a mixed bag for me.  It was a very real book to me, even if most kids don't speak this way or that way... When I was finished with the book I was so very glad I read it...Just like Hazel, I was wondering how it ""ended"" after I closed the book... I wondered about it ...I don't want to spoil anything here.... it somehow gave me hope in some strange way... that somehow it all goes on, no matter how much you think it won't and no matter how much you HOPE it won't... meaning surely the world can't keep spinning without you.<br/><br/> I think it was just very real and just how stinky life can really be sometimes. I had some serious laughs with this book... crying, sobbing laughs.  Do I think it was the best book I have ever read? No. Am I glad that this book found it's way to me, YES.  I am trying to convince my 16 year old daughter to read it.  She reminds me of Hazel, and her friend reminds me of Gus... I think she would enjoy it.  If you are on the fence, read it.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2NC4CIWO1BY2V?ASIN=014242417X	Truly Terrific	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I’m sure that The Fault in Our Stars needs no introduction. It made a big splash a few years back when it was first published, won a bunch of awards and lots more praising reviews from many of its readers. Furthermore, it is now going to be a major motion picture event which will increase its audience exponentially. So, excuse me if I’m trying to “sell” you on a book that’s been pushed at you so many times before, but I would be wrong if I didn’t tell you how truly terrific it was.<br/><br/>In fact, The Fault in Our Stars surprised me. I didn’t expect or thought I would enjoy it as much as I had, but I was curious enough to give it a chance, of which I’m glad. John Green delivers a beautifully poignant tale of teenage love, existentialism, and so much more. So don’t discount it simply as another tearjerker, about two cancer-stricken kids in love. The Fault in Our Stars is more than that; it is about living and experiencing life, even if only for a short moment, but then isn’t it always just a matter of time?<br/><br/>  “What a slut time is. She screws everybody.”<br/><br/>The Fault in our Stars tells a story of Hazel Grace Lancaster, a sixteen-year-old cancer patient. While attending her Cancer Kid Support Group, Hazel meets Augustus Waters, an ex-basketball player, who’ve battled a cancer of his own, and is now in remission. Augustus is honest and open; he wants to experience life, to live and feel, while Hazel, seeing herself as a ticking time bomb, shelters herself, minimizing the impact of the impending outcome of her disease. But, with charm and persistence, Augustus slowly wins Hazel’s attention and later love; their love story begins to unfold with a shared passion for a book…<br/><br/>I wish I could come up with something profound and grand to tell you, but words escape me. I’m floored and touched by the emotional impact this book delivers. By it’s simple beauty. It is sad, angry, romantic, and cheerful, humorous, courageous, desperate and maybe even corny at times, but perfect in so many ways. The Fault in Our Stars doesn’t shy away from the ugly side of the disease, but also manages to find humor and light – excelling at this intricate balancing act.<br/><br/>But as much as I loved this story and want to praise John Green’s writing talent, I don’t think this book is for everyone. Don’t expect a HEA – you have to embrace the eventuality of Hazel’s condition, even if it happens outside the “world” of The Fault in Our Stars. I know that many readers, myself included, yearn to know and want to be assured that the accepted Hollywood HEA comes, but there is a different lesson to learn here, and perhaps it’s more honest and important, than any “fairytale” could be…<br/><br/>Recommended<br/><br/>***<br/>For this and other reviews please visit Nocturnal Book Reviews.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1UFFSXT9N83QK?ASIN=014242417X	magnificent	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This sorry took me into another world and made me see it differently as Hazel Grace has lived in. I am inspired because I never knew someone could live a life where one human being could feel loved drowning in pain. As her one lover Augustus Waters dies, I feel to my knees as he was apart of me and as Hazel Grace to a book she read over and over again and the author could ask such a question as Why do you care so much about a book? It's because you become the book as that is you as you are the narrator in the book that, that story is yours. Even though you never lived one page in the story, the story where at the end we don't even know when the girl will die or if she survives because one genius found a cure to her disease and you smile your hardness as if you will never get to meet such a brilliant author who never really was the narrator put portrayed a role as if he was . This story took me farther into the afterlife of most of my dead aunts &amp; uncles that died of cancer who fought like they could never fight before because they were so weak &amp; afraid if their guardian angels will fly them up to the gates of the almighty heaven. Oh as if anyone who reads this might think of me as some crazy book nerd. But actually this is my 3rd book I actually read all the to the end  . Just because this as the other 2 books it gave me a reason to live because it was if they were my little pages turn out into my life as everything said and done in this book could have me relate to the world I am living in. I am Abrinna but others call me Fashoo because I live 2 lives as Abrinna lives in a world were the reality is not reality. As Fashoo is a human being living in another human being controlling the ways of how this life will go and how it started but not how it will end because nobody knows how it will end therefore I am one human being living in another were reality is not real trying to control the the world with my unrealistic matters. I am going to write a book because I always wanted to. But I will never make a New York Best Sellers because I could never be a genius as you John Green and I hope one day you will take the time to read such a review as mine as I would not like to email you to send it to one person because I want the world to see that a human being like me is so indefinite in life and I have no clue what indefinite even means but  I love the word. My email is @fuzziwonder@gmail.com as a simple hello from you would amaze me for entirety ❤</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2GK96T8SNGBVR?ASIN=014242417X	One of the few rarities that once read, will not, because it simply cannot be forgotten.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Immediately, I loved this book, so much that I knew to take my time with it and handle all of its genius gently. It would have been easy for me to give this book 5 Stars, even only half way through it, but, I was patient. Now I just want to scream and let everyone know that they must read this book. Careful. It will knock you off balance. I was and still am captivated by the careful use of John Green's words and the manipulation of how those carefully chosen words approach the reader's emotions and psyche. Before I finished the first chapter, I was hooked by Green's raw, brutally honest, in-your-face, and intelligent writing style. There are so many rich and luscious sentences that I would love to stick in my pocket and pull out as needed. Here are a few quotes that I have neatly compartmentalized in my ""keeping-this-with-me-forever"" file. I've really cut it short for those who haven't read it.<br/><br/>""Sometimes, you read a book and it fills you with this weird evangelical zeal, and you become convinced that the shattered world will never be put back together unless and until all living humans read the book.""<br/><br/>""There will come a time when all of us are dead. All of us. There will come a time when there are no human beings remaining to remember that anyone ever existed or that our species ever did anything. There will be no one left to remember Aristotle or Cleopatra, let alone you. Everything that we did and built and wrote and thought and discovered will be forgotten and all of this will have been for naught. Maybe that time is coming soon and maybe it is millions of years away, but even if we survive the collapse of our sun, we will not survive forever. There was time before organisms experienced consciousness, and there will be time after. And if the inevitability of human oblivion worries you, I encourage you to ignore it. God knows that's what everyone else does.""<br/><br/>""Because you are beautiful. I enjoy looking at beautiful people, and I decided a while ago not to deny myself the simpler pleasures of existence""<br/><br/>I finished this book with these conclusions: A) Genius!, and B) Anything that John Green writes, I will read.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R19Z7CDU91MB5Q?ASIN=014242417X	Book Review - From Jazmin Jade Reviews	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">If you don’t want spoilers for this book, I suggest you move on because there will be spoilers here.<br/><br/>Now I think most of you in bookland have read this book already and there isn’t really much else anyone can say about it because its been talked about alot and there is even a movie coming out soon, but I’m going to talk about it anyway because I want to give me two-cents!<br/><br/>I had to wait a rather long time after finishing this book to be able to start the review. I didn’t really have any words that made sense. I still don’t really have any words that make sense but here it goes.<br/><br/>This book was really heartbreaking. This book had me on the brink of tears multiple times. Then at the end I cried. This book was really quite heart breaking.<br/><br/>I go into this story knowing its about a girl who is dying of cancer. So in my mind the entire time I’m thinking its going to end with her dying because I have not read/listened/watched any reviews about the book cause I knew I was going to get to it eventually. So I was completely devastated that the person I thought was going to die the entire time is still alive by the end of the book and one of the only healthy people you meet at the beginning, my favourite character, the one most filled with life, dies instead. You also know that our main character is still going to die at some point probably not that long after the book ends.<br/><br/>Hazel is a pretty good character. I can’t even begin to think about what its like knowing that your life has an expiration date that is years before most people an having to live with things constantly helping you breathe. Im sure that would make you grow up faster than most people, and make her kind of harsh and disconnected from everyone. She was the character I was suspecting and welcomed for this kind of story. The only thing I didn’t really like about her or the other child/teen characters is that they seemed a bit too wise at times. Just because they are dying doesn’t make them wise…<br/><br/>I loved Augustus so so so much. He is really what made the book for me despite the fact I think his name is ridiculous. Pretty much all the lines that I highlighted in my kindle were from him and because I loved them. I think my favourite section of the whole book was when he was describing the swing set.<br/><br/>“I must see this old swing set of tears immediately.”<br/><br/>“That is one sad goddamned swing set.”<br/><br/>“We gotta do something about this frigging swing set,” he said. “I’m telling you, it’s ninety percept of the problem.”<br/><br/>I also loved the fact that they gave it to the person they gave it to because he said I just want them to go outside when he was talking about his children. And the book is full of funny lines like that which kind of makes it more heart breaking. Damn you good writing and characters, why must you be in such a sad book? My hear broken when I heard that Augustus was going to die.<br/><br/>After I read the book I went straight away to go watched the trailer. I can’t believe how good it looks, I am so excited! I will read this book again and I plan on buying a paper version of this book so I can proudly display it on my shelf.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2R4IAITH2DTKQ?ASIN=014242417X	Really fantastic story.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I really love this book. Can't wait to see the movie so I can see if the movie can make me fall in love with the characters with the same ease the book did. I've never smiled so much while reading a book. Not inwardly being happy, but outwardly smiling the biggest smiles I'm capable of. I love stories that show what it takes to fundamentally change a person. A Christmas Carol does this. Scrooge is a mean and greedy old man. A ghost tells him that he is going to change him by sending three other ghosts after him. In the end, Scrooge is changed forever. Should I have said spoilers? Well, young Hazle was also changed. She had a certain outlook on life and her existence. And while there are no ghosts sent after her, forcing her to change, her transformation feels much more magical.<br/><br/>I can easily say that this is my favorite book. I've been spreading the word to everyone I can. They need to read this book. YOU need to read this book.<br/><br/>This book did make me cry. It didn't make me sad, but I held myself together because ""I'm a man!"". Tears were steaming down my face, and my nose became clogged, snot threatening to roll over my lip. When you hear that, and you know that the book is about kids with cancer, you may think that this is a depressing story. Don't be fooled. Those smiles I told you about above. Those are the truth of this book. All the happiness I feel from the events of Hazel's experiences completely outshine the sadness I felt from her experiences. I hope that is true for the characters as well. And while I didn't write the book, upon reading it, those characters futures became mine once I finished the last page. And my characters will have sadness, but all the happiness will make it okay. They will think back and smile. Sad tears completely outnumbered by happy tears.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2JVXLMUXNLW5X?ASIN=014242417X	Thoughts about The Fault in Our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Let me preface what I am about to write by saying that I thought the book was beautifully written, among one of the best written books I have read in a long time.  The author managed to capture the emotion and the mindset of teenagers dealing with the normal events of life and, specifically, the difficulty of disease.  On many levels it was truly inspirational.<br/>That said, and I admit a personal bias, I would find it hard to recommend that my preteens read this book, and possibly even older children, because of the ever present weight of cancer in the life of the characters and their families.  The book really never had a moment of relief.  Yes, there were comic and intimate moments, but always infused with a relationship with cancer.  It seemed to me to be, certainly, very realistic, but that did not make it easier to read.<br/>So, I would have to recommend that parents make a careful choice as to whether this is a topic that their children are yet ready to handle.  For some, it may just be too heavy and, truthfully, too frightening.  Yes, it is the real world, but the question is, at what point do we want our children to have to face that reality?<br/>On a side note, again for the younger readers especially, the book does approach the very normal sexuality of teenagers.  It is not lewd or vulgar in any way, but it is something to consider.<br/>As for giving this 3 stars instead of 5, I can honestly say it was only because I am just not personally comfortable reading a book that is, from beginning to end, infused with the pain, the sadness, the heartache, and, yes, fear of disease and death.  In every other way, it would have earned my top rating, but, honestly, I read this book because my 12 year old granddaughter read it and asked me to do so (by the way, she loved it!).  Typically, for me, I would be unlikely to read a book or go to a movie with this being the topic.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R11SHODIORFR8Q?ASIN=014242417X	A touching, entertaining read for young adults	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The book, The Fault in Our Stars by John Green, is worth a five-star rating because it is so touching and entertaining for young readers. The book is about young love, cancer, and sticking with each other through rough times. The story involves two main characters, Hazel Grace Lancaster and Augustus Waters, who are younger than 18. The book is easy for young adults to understand. Along with some sad scenes in the book are moments of humor and happiness. This makes the book unpredictable and entertaining to read.<br/><br/>I agree with a prior review that was written about this book, a review Will made from Tennessee in 2012. He wrote that the book contains honesty, humor and grace, and he recommended the book to young adults. I also agree with him because this book is not just about dying but also about truly living.<br/><br/>My favorite character in this book has to be Augustus Waters. The reason is because he is such a caring, loving, and strong guy. He is recovering from Osteosarcoma and has lost his right leg. Augustus meets Hazel at a cancer support group and they fall in love. He invites her over all the time, drives her around even though he only has one leg and let Hazel become a major part of his life. Augustus took part in Make-A-Wish and went to a different country with Hazel to see their favorite author. Another reason he is my favorite is because when he found out his cancer had come back, Augustus decided to write their favorite author and ask if he could help write or finish Augustus’ letter to Hazel should he die.<br/><br/>Most people going through what he is would never do half the stuff Augustus did to help make someone else’s life better. My favorite quote is “She is so beautiful. You don’t ever get tired of looking at her” (Green 313) said by Augustus. It sums up how much Augustus loves Hazel, how he really admires her and how he thinks she is beautiful in every way. The message in the book is important. I hope young adults choose to read this book because it is so moving. It can make a reader cry in sadness but also happiness.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2HPGYYG1RY0GP?ASIN=014242417X	So Beautiful and Heartfelt	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">An Open Letter To The Fault In Our Stars,<br/><br/>So, thanks for taking my heart strings and turning them into a huge pile of scrap metal.  That was so nice of you book, super nice of you.  But who am I kidding, I refused to read you for years (literal years) which was one of the most ridiculous things I've ever done in my life.  Sure you demolished my heart, but you also brought so much laughter and joy and one of the best book boyfriends that I've ever read in my life to my door.  But let's not forget about Hazel and how awesome she was too.  Honestly, I have no complaints about you, at all.  Okay, the heart shattering wasn't cool, but I get it, so I'll let that slide.<br/><br/>-The White Unicorn<br/><br/>Why haven't I read any John Green books before.  This man is a genius with words and even better then that he's the master of dialogue!  Seriously, the conversations in this book were perfect.  They were real and they made you feel all the feelings in your soul.  It takes a really talented writer to handle dialogue like Mr. Green and I'm glad that I finally gave in and read TFiOS.  Sometimes being a rebel comes back to bite you in the butt, that's all I'm saying.<br/><br/>TFiOS deals with cancer, but it's how Green deals with it that really makes this book something special.  He doesn't soak the book in depression, sure he dips it in every once in awhile, but that's to be expected.  The thing is that this book is full of insurmountable amounts of hope and laughter and snark and reality that will blow your mind away.  This book is hilarious, like hold your gut and gag on air funny.  These characters are witty as all get out.  It's really a beautiful thing, on so many levels.<br/><br/>I also have to thank Green for creating one of my favorite contemporary male leads ever.  Augustus Waters is as close to perfect as it comes!  He's snarky, he's funny, he's got just the right amount of ""hero complex"" without it getting out of hand and he's the sweetest.  He was the perfect other half for our girl Hazel.  And I'm pretty sure that he's been stealing the hearts of girls all over the world.<br/><br/>Speaking of Hazel, she's someone who I'd be friends with any day.  Being inside of her head for the whole book was really a privilege.  She was the perfect voice for this story.  She wasn't afraid to try to live her life as all of the side affects of dying were trying to get at her, but she also knew that her time would come at some point.  She had so much dignity as well as huge amounts of correctly used dark humor.<br/><br/>But those two aren't the only people who will warm your heart in this book.  Hazel's parents are the coolest book parents I've ever read.  I loved that her dad cried so much.  And Issac was the best friend these kids could have had.  And how can we forget about Patrick and his ball-cancer?<br/><br/>TFiOS is character driven to the max and it's executed so well that it still has a lot of action happening too.  Trips to foreign countries, blind video game playing and more exciting things get covered in the story.  Honestly, if you haven't read TFiOS, take a tip from me and dive right in.  Don't let the fact that you'll need a whole box of tissues make you miss out on this wonderful book!<br/><br/>You can read this and many other reviews on my YA book blog  &lt;a href=""http://thewhiteunicornfiction.blogspot.com/""&gt;The White Unicorn!&lt;/a&gt;</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1EHHS87OUK7J0?ASIN=014242417X	Art imitates life	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Having been a thanatology major (the study of death, dying, and bereavement), I am always fascinated with reading about how people handle death, whether those people are real or fictitious. No one ever wants to talk about or even think about the loss of a child (trust me, I lost a lot of people in my life when my daughter died suddenly). The protagonist in this novel, Hazel Grace, received a terminal thyroid cancer diagnosis before the novel begins, and she has not only accepted it, she is downright philosophical about it. The big fear that she keeps to herself is that she is afraid for her parents. What will become of them when they no longer have her to hover over and care for? Will they divorce? Will they even live through it? Hazel's circle of friends is mostly limited to a superficial ""BFF"" and other youth she has met in the support group her parents force her to attend.<br/><br/>When she meets a fellow intellectual cancer patient, Augustus Waters, in support group, her life takes a turn. She opens up and shares her favorite novel (""An Imperial Affliction"") with him. The novel is the sole work of Peter Van Houten, a recluse who lives in Amsterdam and never answers his mail. Van Houten's novel ends abrubtly--in mid-sentence--presumably because its protagonist (Anna) has died. Hazel and Augustus bond over the novel and decide to go on a hunt for answers about what happened after the novel ended. What became of Anna's mother? Did she marry the Dutch Tulip Man? Did she survive the loss of her daughter? Did Anna die immediately or just become too sick to write?<br/><br/>The journey for answers takes the pair (and Hazel's mother) to Amsterdam in search of Van Houten. They share their first kiss in Anne Frank's house, which is described in immaculate detail. I devoured this book and found myself wanting more. Like An Imperial Affliction, ""The Fault in Our Stars"" leaves us with questions, but somehow we believe everything will be okay.<br/><br/>I would highly recommend this book to almost anyone, except perhaps for a parent who is grieving a child lost to cancer -- and even then, it might bring some comfort. The tender love story is beautiful and sweet. The frustrations over things the characters can't control is palpable. Isn't that one of the common problems for all of us? We want so badly to control our fate, and yet fate has a path of its own.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RCRBP9NT96YNC?ASIN=014242417X	Loved it.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book…. I’m not even sure I can review this book adequately enough. This will probably be one of my shortest reviews. “I fell in love the way you fall asleep: slowly, and  then all at once.” Before I started reading, I knew it was a book about kids who have cancer. Depressing, right? Wrong. Well, somewhat wrong. Of course it was sad, but there were moments of joy, laughter, and love. *I’m cheesy, I know* This isn’t a book about kids who have cancer, or who are dying from cancer.. NO. This is a book that shows how deep love can go when you’re truly living.<br/><br/>Anyway, the book revolves around Hazel Grace Lancaster and Augustus Waters. The thing I loved most about this book is how real it felt. This book is a legit emotional roller coaster. I’ve seen a few reviews that remark on how the dialogue between Hazel and Gus doesn’t seem real for teens. But I think it works well in this novel because these teens have seen and felt so much in their short lives struggling with cancer. They had to stop being children earlier than they should because of their diseases. The love story between Hazel Grace and Augustus was one of the best love stories I’ve read in a while. Some people, once they are terminally diagnosed, try to live life to the fullest, and others decide that since they are dying they may as well get on with it. HG and Gus know they aren’t going to live long but that doesn’t stop them from loving each other. This story doesn’t end like a sappy romance novel, but I still enjoyed it. It isn’t your typical YA novel, either. These kids are dealing with more pressing issues than “who is going to be prom king?” They are dying, they have to think about death clothes and hooking up G-tubes and oxygen tanks and trying to keep their hearts beating and their lungs breathing! Gus wants to leave his mark on the world, be remembered by/for something, but Hazel could only care about being remembered by Gus. This was an emotional novel, but not one that left me feeling completely void of happiness. I recommend you read it, NOW! Okay? Okay.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R21MNK0YTXHTVI?ASIN=014242417X	This Changed Me	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This won't be the most in-depth review ever, because I'm currently bawling my eyes out.<br/><br/>WARNING: this book contains sad material, and you are almost guaranteed to cry. If you are scared of death, I would suggest you read this. If you want to see what it's like to be someone facing death at every twist and turn, read this book. If you are scared of oblivion, read this book.<br/><br/>The past day I have referred to this as: The Cancer Book. But I now believe that title is inaccurate, because this book is so much more. It will make you laugh, cry, contemplate the existence of everything and confuse your mind so much with its big words. But most of all, it will give you a unique perspective of the world. I shall, from here on in, refer to this book as The Changer Book. This book has irrevocably changed me.<br/><br/>I could put the goodreads blurb in, but if you want that you can find it yourself. This book is about a kid. Yes, a kid. A 16 year old girl with cancer. Yes, cancer.<br/><br/>This is the point you stop reading. You go, eeew cancer. Bad thing. I won't read this. If you stop there, you are an idiot, excuse my French.<br/><br/>This kid has a life-threatening disease and Is skating on thin ice every. Single. Day. Think what it would be like to be connected to an oxygen tank, have a cannula attached to you, have your parents worry over you, not go to school, and be constantly right in front of death.<br/><br/>If you made it through the last stop reading point, then this is the next one. You go: oh no, death. I don't want to die. Kids dying make me sad. I won't read this. If you stop reading, you are a coward. Take a chance. So many people actually &lt;i&gt;die&lt;/i&gt;  and you're afraid about reading about someone dying?!?<br/><br/>This girl copes. She does. But her view of the world is interesting, the way she views her self is sophisticated, especially for someone of her age and stamina. Then she meets Augustus.<br/><br/>Now, if the death and cancer didn't freak you, I'm guessing a love story will. That combination is a hard one to find in a good reader.<br/><br/>As their relationship develops after their meeting at Support Group, Hazel develops as a person, as does Augustus. They grow and develop as the lean on each other, showing you the bright side of cancer, and what it's like to have someone not pity you.<br/><br/>Hopefully, this will also be your Changer Book. I hope it changes your view of the world, life, and people with cancer or a disability. Think. I hope this book changes you.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RHLL9YWPSOJIE?ASIN=014242417X	4.5 inspiring, brilliant, realistic, honest, heart-rending stars!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book has been on my TBR list for quite some time. I am so happy that we decided to pick The Fault in our Stars as the group read of the month. I think what gave me that extra push to read it was that I knew that my co-bloggers would be there and we could discuss about it afterward.<br/><br/>Hazel and Augustus absolutely captivated me! My connection to these two amazing characters started from the moment they are introduced in the book, and I must admit that they are still very present in my everyday thoughts. I don’t want to give anything away about their story because you absolutely need to feel every single emotion that their beautiful love story will make you live. I read a quote a few months ago that stayed with me ''When reading, we don’t fall in love with the characters’ appearance. We fall in love with their words, their thoughts, and their hearts. We fall in love with their souls.'' This is EXACTLY how I felt about Hazel and Augustus. I laughed and cried with them. Oh, boy did I cry! Before I started reading it, I knew it was going to be a very emotional journey. This story is about two young people that meet at a cancer support group and fall in love. I got so invested in the story that I felt like I was part of it! I wanted to show my support and bring comfort to them just like I would with my loved ones. Their story is eye-opening. Hazel and Augustus talk about the way they see life with such honesty.<br/><br/>Amazing work by John Green! His writing style is brilliant! Is it a sad story? Yes! I freakin’ balled my eyes out!!! But, what I will remember the most about this book is the inspiring story and the two beautiful young people that stole my heart. Reading The Fault in our Stars was a life experience that I will never forget! I can’t wait for the movie to come out and see Hazel and Augustus’ remarkable story come alive on the big screen. I’ll make sure to bring tissues with me. If I cry watching the movie trailer, I can only imagine what 1 hour + of movie will do to me. People who have not read this book have no idea what an emotional roller coaster ride this will be!<br/><br/>I give, The Fault in our Stars, by John Green 4.5 inspiring, brilliant, realistic, honest, heart-rending stars!  I highly recommend this outstanding book!</span>"

(Lindy@ A Bookish Escape)	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars, by John Green, is a story that I will never forget.  It resonated deeply within me, and is a story that I connected with.  Hazel Grace, and Augustus Waters began to mean something to me. They weren't just fictional characters in a book. They represented real people, life, and situations. I saw myself in Hazel, and my mother in Hazel's mother. Mr. Greene did an amazing job of bringing these characters to life.<br/><br/>What I loved most about this story was that even though it was devastating, and broke my heart, it also made me experience a wide range of emotions. I smiled, laughed, and swooned from the charismatic, charming, and one of a kind, Augustus Waters. Many truths were laid bare about Cancer, death, life, and love. Mr. Greene addressed what it's like to have a terminal illness, and how it affects the people around us. Certain medical terminology like Cannula, CPAP, PICC Line, and G-Tube, made me cringe, as it took me to a dark place when I was in critical care from Pulmonary Emboli. I related to Hazel Grace, because even though I didn't have Cancer, we both underwent many of the same procedures due to severe problems with our lungs.<br/><br/>Hazel Grace and Augustus Waters really complimented one another. Hazel was raw, real, sarcastic, and genuine. Augustus was very positive, sweet, loyal, and romantic. Together, they shared the kind of relationship that many people dream of. They completely ""clicked,"" and just got each other. Yes, this story was sad, devastating, and heartbreaking. However, it was also real, beautiful, and full of life lessons. I highly recommend this story to people of all ages, male and female! I give The Fault in Our Stars, by John Green, 5 Unforgetable, Gorgeous, ""There will never be another story like this,"" filled Stars! This story is a priceless gift, and a book that everyone should read!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1MA26TAFGM0B0?ASIN=014242417X	The only book that ever made me cry	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read a lot of books. In fact, I read more books than most people around me would even believe. And, despite being an emotional person, I have never, in all my days and years of reading, read a book that made me cry. Not because I've never read emotional books, or they've never really moved me. They have. But all that emotion was on the inside, never externalized at all. So you can imagine my surprise to find tears running down my face at the end of The Fault in Our Stars. The characters are so real and so in love, yet it is hard to say it's tragic. When you only have a short time to live, the fact that you find that love at all makes the time you have that much more special. Any life is short. Finding the things and the people that make that time meaningful is really what makes that time worth it. The shorter the time you have, the more important it is to find the things that make that time worthwhile. Not to leave a mark or some significant achievement, but more like, are people glad that you lived? That's the message Hazel Grace's dad is giving her at the end. Are you glad you loved him? Are you glad he was here, even for the short time he was? Then his life was well lived and worthwhile.<br/><br/>I've read some of the negative reviews (all after I read the book) and I would like to take a moment to respond to some of them.<br/><br/>""The characters aren't real teens."" My answer? Get over yourself. If you only want to read about people who are just like you or your friends or the people you know, then you are missing the point of reading in the first place. Granted, I have not been a teen for some years now, but When I was, I knew several teenagers who talked similar to this. I have a cousin who is fourteen and her friends tell her she's intimidating because she talks about ""existential crisis"" and such things. Yes, there are educated, witty teenagers, not just the mall hanging, slang slinging cardboard cutouts that you see or read in most ""teen"" fiction and movies. And if you want a more qualified opinion than mine, look up the review titled ""From a teenage survivor""<br/><br/>Some complain about ""obvious metaphors"", well, I say what kind of deranged idiot can't just read a story for a story? Why do you have to try to tack on all this extra ""meaning"" to what he's saying? If it means something more to you, great. But how do you know that what you got from it is even what the author intended? Ten different people can read the same line and get ten different meanings from it. Are you so arrogant that you are convinced that what YOU got out of it is the only thing that is right and is exactly what the author meant? What if he didn't mean it to be a metaphor at all? As I've said before, get over yourself.<br/><br/>This book was excellent and I highly recommend it.</span>"

All of us.<br/>There will come a time when there are no human beings<br/>remaining to remember that anyone ever existed or that<br/>our species ever did anything. There will be no one left to<br/>remember Aristotle or Cleopatra, let alone you. Everything<br/>that we did and built and wrote and thought and discovered<br/>will be forgotten and all of this will have been for naught. Maybe<br/> that time is coming soon and maybe it is millions of years away,<br/> but even if we survive the collapse of our sun, we will not survive<br/>forever. There was time before organisms experienced consciousness,<br/>and there will be time after. And if the inevitability of human oblivion<br/>worries you, I encourage you to ignore it. God knows that’s what everyone else does.”<br/>-Hazel Grace Lancaster, The Fault in Our Stars<br/><br/>  What is it that I can possible say about this book? First off, it is true when I say this is the absolute best book I've ever read. I tought I'd seen literature at its peak, but not until I read this novel did I truly see what it means to be a purely fantastical author. Yes, I'd heard so much hype about TFIOS, but it wasn't until yesterday did I pick it up off the shelf of my school's library and actually read it.<br/>  Engrossed, enthralled, captivated, stunned.<br/>  What words can I say to describe the book I've just finished? Mr. John Green, you have a gift and talent like I've never seen before. I am thoroughly astounded at the absolute marvelous writing in TFIOS. Just because you hear a book is great doesn't mean it actually is. But this one time I can agree with everyone--The Fault in Our Stars is irresistably spellbinding.<br/>  Words are just words. Meaningless scribbles of ink or graphite on papaer. So why then, are books so enthralling? They are nothing more than pages of marks on paper.<br/>  I'll tell you why.<br/>  It is the one who writes the book that is able to turn those mere marks on paper, those words, into something else. It is a girft to be able to create a world of emotions, images, thoughts, feelings, out of words. Because when you are truly lost in the book, lost so far into it that you forget you aren't in that world with the characters themselves, the author has succeeded.<br/>  So many times I forgot TFIOS was just a novel, just bounded pages of a flurry or words. Mr. John Green, you have managed to undoubtedly succeed in creating a beautifully encaptivating, raw, honest, and emotional world out of your book.<br/>  Mr. John Green your words inspired me. They made me stop and think. The endless and deep quotes you have put into TFIOS thrilled and disturbed me at the same time. There is such a raw, honest truth behind those words that it makes me shiver. I was deeply surprised when, nearing the latter half of the novel, I began to cry.<br/>  Why did I cry?<br/>  I cried with joy.<br/>  I cried with pain.<br/>  I cried with amazement.<br/>  I cried because The Fault in Our Stars was the best book I've ever read. Mr. John Green, I congratulate you on being the first author to make me truly cry in reading your novel. As a sixteen year old teenager, TFIOS was written exactly at my level for others my age. I am pleased to have been utterly captured by your work of genius.<br/>  It's so amazing the complexity of humans and our emotional minds. TFIOS perfectly captured, molded, and blended those raw, dazzling emotions we all experience, and merged them into not just a novel, but a work of art we should all read someday.<br/>  Thank you, Mr. John Green, for showing me what a truly great author looks like. The Fault in Our Stars inspired me, made me shake my head in wonder, and think,<br/>  ""Wow. So this is what writing at its utmost finest looks like.""</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RGV9TA2PML8CH?ASIN=014242417X	You get to choose what books hurt you in this world, let this be one of them.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">As a cancer survivor, and a survivor of the many complications of that cancer, I have read many cancer books. Books that glorify the ordeal of suffering  through illness, that make healthy people feel guilty for not being ""as strong"" and admiring the ill for their indomitable victorious spirit throughout this suffering. These books are frustrating, because they are misguided views for both parties.<br/>  This book is sincere and honest, as expected from a John Green novel, but this book is so perfect. Being sick is awful. You experience constant pain, severe physical pain. You throw up and other people have to clean you up because in your weakened form you are incapable of doing so. You lose your independence, your dignity. You are completely aware of your affect on the people you love most, how much your suffering causes them so much pain, and how taking care of you takes over their lives, and you know there is nothing you can do.<br/>  You suffer losses when you beat the cancer, and sometimes those losses are evident on your person. And people gawk and stare and pity you, seeing you as a less fortunate, giving you no credit for not just giving up on yourself and surrendering to illness. It is messed up.<br/> This book portrays that perfectly, but it hurts you, my friend. You will sob. But it is a beautiful book. There is so much truth and the emotions are captured perfectly. I don't know John Green so perfectly manages to capture the mind of a 16-year old girl, but let's just appreciate that he does. I had to put this book down for breaks in the four hours I read this book, because I have had the exact same thoughts as Hazel Grace and I needed to wipe my tears.<br/>  So I did worn you, but read it. Their story needs to be heard.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R7PDBVQE9MGZ3?ASIN=014242417X	Laugh until you cry, but it's a good cry	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Let me start by saying that this is the first John Green book I have read. After reading just ONE of his books I feel confident saying that he is a literary genius. He is so in tune with today's young adults that it's scary. His wording is eloquent without being too technical. His insight is so unique.<br/><br/>It's no secret that this book is about cancer. My father was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma 14 years ago. I'm able to keep track of that date fairly easy because I was pregnant with my oldest son at the time. I attended every-single-chemo-treatment....and it was brutal. Now I realize how selfish I was to think it was hard ON ME. Imagine how hard it was FOR HIM. Ugh....I'm an idiot. I now feel guilty for any time I debated about going, HE HAD NO CHOICE. That's what this book is about. John Green has somehow mastered the mind of a cancer patient.<br/><br/>Hazel is seventeen. She was originally diagnosed with thyroid cancer, and it has metastasized in her lungs. She has been in and out of hospitals her whole life. She carries an oxygen tank and sleeps with a BiPAP machine. Her cynical view of life is a peek into her mind. She is a realist who tells it like it is. In short, I love her.<br/><br/>Augustus Waters is also seventeen. He had a touch of osteosarcoma at age 15 1/2. He lost a leg from it. As he puts it, ""I'm on a rollercoaster that only goes up, my friend."" And thus begins my love affair with Augustus Waters. He is handsome, witty, and loves video games. He is unique for a young man, he likes to read and has a strong belief in symbolism.<br/><br/>These two meet in The Literal Heart of Jesus (a description of the basement in a church where the cancer support group meets). It's word use like this that makes this book bearable to read. If there weren't little injections of humor it would be too depressing to get through. Hazel and Augustus go on a journey that shows us how capable the human spirit is of resilience and unconditional love. They are only teenagers and they show us how to accept each other for our faults and our attributes. If these kids on the verge of death can do it, why can't the rest of us?<br/><br/>I could go on for awhile about this book, but there's no one better to narrate it than John Green. It is a tear jerker, but will also make you smile in LOTS of places. Not gonna lie. I cried....A LOT. But it was a good cry, and I'm glad that I read it.<br/><br/>It is poetic.<br/><br/>Profound.<br/><br/>Insightful.<br/><br/>Read it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RPSUXP2KTULW6?ASIN=014242417X	Cathartic and touching	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The biggest thing I didn't mind was that the teenagers really don't talk like modern teenagers. These characters were supposed to be really literate and savvy. No problem with that. However, I did find them to be self-centered and entitled, which was not a side effect of cancer, but of their suburban upbringing. If they thought their lives were tough, what about the kids whose parents and insurance can't pay for expensive, experimental treatments? What about the kids whose parents' marriages break up over the stress? What about the kids who die almost immediately after diagnosis before their loved ones and the world really got to know them?<br/><br/>However, it was a romance well worth reading about. It was about two people taking charge of their own destinies and dealing with their fate the best way they could. It was about taking a chance on love. It was about making decisions that otherwise wouldn't be made without a cancer diagnosis. It was enlarging one's support system and really being able to rely on the original ones. It was about how differently people react to the same situation.<br/><br/>It was cathartic for me because I lost a sister too young to cancer as well. I got to a point in the book where it hit too close to home, but I pushed on because it reignited those feelings that are sometimes dormant. For me, it's like my pain is more like a paper cut, almost imperceptible but reading this made those bucket of tears come out. However, it ends optimistically, as a really heavy book like this should. In fact, it left me mesmerized hours and days after I read it. I found myself wanting to read or see a movie about an equally sad story mainly because I can release my pain through experiencing the pain of another.<br/><br/>Can't wait to see the movie! I will go into it with no expectations and understand it is a different medium than a book. I will not get angry that it's not exactly how I pictured the characters and situations in my head nor that they had to cut out crucial scenes to fit into a 90-120 minute format.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Well, first things first.<br/><br/>One: this book didn’t make me cry. I don’t know if there’s anything wrong with me for not ugly-crying or wailing at a decibel that would make puppies howl, but I didn’t cry. Everyone else said they cried while reading this book. I didn’t. I was sad, I was heartbroken, I felt despondent, and I kept wishing against all odds that the inevitable conclusion could somehow be avoided. But I didn’t cry. Is that a bad thing?<br/><br/>Two: I didn’t connect with either Augustus or Hazel. Both are great characters with depth and they’re flawed as heck, but I just couldn’t connect with them on any level. In stark contrast, I absolutely loved, loved, LOVED Hazel’s parents, and Isaac. My heart bled for Hazel and Augustus, but I just couldn’t form a bond with them. I have no idea why, but it is what it is.<br/><br/>The aforementioned points aren’t complaints. They’re only observations. The Fault in Our Stars was every wonderful thing I didn’t expect. I’ve wanted to read TFIOS so many times. In fact, every time I read a glowing review about it, I desperately wanted to pick up this book and start reading it. Alas, I was too chicken. For some reason I didn’t want to get drawn into the suffering of a terminal patient for whom there is no hope. During the very first chapter, though, I came to realize that this is not such a novel at all.<br/><br/>No matter that I only connected with two characters (and not even the MCs), TFIOS is a phenomenal story. Whether it makes you cry or not is not what’s important. What you take from it after you’ve closed the book, is what is important. Though both Hazel and Augustus share a deeper insight and understanding about the disease that is progressively ending their lives, they are two very different people. Yet they don’t let their differences stand in their way of falling in love...and what a beautiful, evocative, romance they have!  But keep in mind that this is not just a love story. It is much, much more than that.<br/><br/>The Fault in Our Stars is unprecedented in its uniqueness. Every theme explored in this novel gave me something to think about. It was written with compassion, an appropriate lightheartedness, and a profound understanding of the fragility of life. John Green is a marvelous author, and though I’m sure I might not enjoy all his novels equally, I’m so glad I was finally convinced to give this book a chance. You’d be too.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RZHNCT9JPWTXS?ASIN=014242417X	5 out of 5 Deeply Thought-Provoking Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Hazel Grace Lancaster :<br/>“I’d never been anything but terminal; all my treatment had been in pursuit of extending my life, not curing my cancer.”<br/><br/>“I’m like a grenade, Mom. I’m a grenade and at some point I’m going to blow up and I would like to minimize the casualties.”<br/><br/>Augustus “Gus” Waters :<br/>“To be with him was to hurt him – inevitably. And that’s what I’d felt as he reached for me: I’d felt as though I were committing an act of violence against him, because I was.”<br/><br/>The Fault in Our Stars revolves around the story of Hazel and Augustus, two 16- and 17 year old cancer patients who meet at a Support Group. Hazel has terminal cancer which spread in her lungs, forcing her to walk around with oxygen supply. Augustus is a cured osteosarcoma patient who had his leg amputated.<br/><br/>Hazel and Augustus quickly become friends and more, deeply connected on a spiritual and intellectual level, especially through a book (An Imperial Affliction written by a certain Peter Von Houten). This book (fictional, of course) is an essential turning point in The Fault in Our Stars, because Hazel and Augustus desperately try to get in touch with the author in order to ask for a sequel, as it is the story of a girl suffering from cancer, which abruptly ends in the middle of a sentence.<br/><br/>The Fault In Our Stars affected me deeply. It is not just an average doomed love story between two cancer patients. It is a reflection on life itself, on the meaning and contribution to it.<br/><br/>How can you leave a mark when you are destined to leave the world at such young age?<br/>Or is it necessary to leave a mark in the first place, or is the footprint you will have left important in depth or in spread?<br/>Will your life have had a purpose other than hurting the ones that came to love you?<br/>Is there a deeper meaning at all related to the ordeal of cancer?<br/><br/>And there's where Hazel Grace is different from Augustus. Whereas Augustus is concerned about leaving a mark, doing something heroic, Hazel Grace doesn't want to hurt and leave scars in the mind and life of her parents - and finally in Augustus' too, which is why she considers denying herself falling in love with him, in order to avoid casualties.<br/><br/>Hazel Grace and Augustus are philosophers of the modern world. I am not quite sure John Green gave them maturity for their age as well as a strong mind. They are seeing things in a clearer, less obstructed way, perhaps clearer than anyone in a healthy state of mind might.<br/><br/>“Because there is no glory in illness. There is no meaning to it. There is no honor in dying of.”<br/><br/>""The problem, is not suffering itself or oblivion itself but the depraved meaninglessness of these things, the absolutely inhuman nihilism of suffering.""<br/><br/>It is also a reflection on how cancer patients, especially at that age, could see the world around them – the way they probably hate the pitiful looks and the thought-inspiring speeches emanating from non-cancer patients, as well as the “conventions” around this disease (ie. in our memories, cancer patients are never moody or weak etc. – they are always strong, brave, full of life until the end, when actually, the patient itself feels like sh…)<br/><br/>In the acknowledgements, John Green specifically asks not to investigate further on the origin of the characters in this book and wants The Fault in Our Stars to remain a work of fiction. But somewhere deep inside, the feelings he relates to and his writing seemed so immensely truthful, that I am sure he is very close to this topic… Or made a lot of research on the subject and has an extremely good sense of empathy.<br/><br/>Even if the characters in the book wouldn’t have like me saying this – they were strong. Until the end, and greatly inspiring. Because despite of the metaphysical (and sometimes pessimistic) reflections is this book, they manage to take full advantage of their time and still find the ability to dream, laugh and love.<br/><br/>I wish for every cancer patient to be as serene as Augustus and Hazel Grace are…<br/><br/>All in all The Fault in Our Stars was a wonderful, tear-threatening, thought-provoking, anger/pain/joy-inducing and affecting read, which I highly recommend.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RSI2GEGJT700F?ASIN=014242417X	4 1/2 Faultless Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Okay, John Green prefaces this story with a disclaimer: don’t try to divine whether any facts hide inside this story—such efforts attack the idea that made-up stories matter.  Fine, BUT:<br/><br/>Green also coined the phrase: BBTTR (books belong to their readers) which I feel trumps the above disclaimer, so, this review will examine why The Fault in Our Stars might be, in part, an allegory for John Green and his novel Looking for Alaska—and why I enjoyed it MORE because of that.<br/><br/>(SPOILERS ABOUND - for both books)<br/><br/>Hazel Grace and Augustus Waters are two cancer kids who share a star-crossed love.  Not any fault of their own, but the tragic alignment of fate, these two will never live long enough to grow their love into adulthood.  But wow, do they make the most of their little piece of infinity.  Their highlight: a wish-come-true trip to flower-petal-confetti-covered Amsterdam to meet the author they bonded over, Peter Van Houten.  (Enter John Green)<br/><br/>Here’s the set-up: Van Houten wrote a novel (Hazel’s favorite novel ever) about a girl with terminal cancer, Ana.  Ana narrates her story and just as the book is about to climax with Ana’s mother’s wedding, the book ends midsentence implying that Ana died or became too sick to continue writing.  The ending is never resolved, and poor Hazel Grace is dying (pun intended, I’m shameless) to learn the fate of the remaining characters—she needs answers!  (Enter Looking for Alaska)<br/><br/>The overriding theme in Looking for Alaska is the ambiguity of life.  Halfway through the book, the title character dies alone in a car crash: the question becomes did she kill herself or was it an accident.  The reader never finds out.  Visit John Green’s website and you will see that is a big fan question: what happened to Alaska?!  Green’s answer: he doesn’t know.  And that is the point: sometimes in life we don’t get answers.  Sooo…<br/><br/>When Hazel and Augustus show up on Van Houten’s front step, all I could think was: she can never be allowed to find out!!  And, staying true to form, Green has a brilliantly pompous and aggressively alcoholic version of Hazel’s dream-author meet them at the door.  Not only do they NOT learn any secrets post-Ana, they walk away with a hard truth: don’t meet your heroes.<br/><br/>Pushing the topic further, Green actually has Van Houten show up at Augustus’s funeral (this part definitely made me cry) to try and apologize to Hazel and tell her how Ana’s story ends.  But Hazel, wiser now about the ways of life and death and disappointing heroes, sends him away, ultimately embracing (even if she isn’t literally aware of it) Green’s maxim that BBTTR.<br/><br/>So, here are some of the many beautiful things I’m taking from this book and that now belong to me:<br/><br/>1. Their ball-less group counselor.<br/>2. Augustus’s love of violent video game themed novels (Spoiler: the good guy always survives).<br/>3. Isaac’s trophy-smashing fit before his eye-surgery which Augustus gleefully encourages.<br/>4. The orange-themed trip to the bone-sculpture where Augustus invites Hazel Grace to Amsterdam.<br/>5. Their dinner on the canal at Oranjee where everything tastes like heaven and champagne that was like<br/>6. tasting the stars.<br/>7. Their first kiss at the Ann Frank house, celebrating the life Anne Frank lost and the lives the two of them were trying to live to fullest.<br/>8. Their imperfect love-making which was actually perfect.<br/>9. They honest way that Hazel acknowledges that leaving a huge blazing mark on the world isn’t as important as leaving a mark on someone you love.<br/>10. Okay.<br/><br/>Given my (wild) assumption that Van Houten and Ana are allegories for Green and Alaska, I secretly hoped that Hazel would follow suit and end her story midsentence, just like Ana.  She doesn’t, not exactly, but the book’s final words are (like life) abrupt and beautiful.<br/><br/>Best Lines:  “My third best friend was an author who did not know I existed.”<br/><br/>“Without Pain, How Could We Know Joy? … This is an old argument in the field of Thinking About Suffering, and its stupidity and lack of sophistication could be plumbed for centuries, but suffice it to say that the existence of broccoli does not in any way affect the taste of chocolate.”<br/><br/>“Witness also that when we talk about literature, we do so in the present tense.  When we speak of the dead, we are not so kind.”<br/><br/>“That’s why I like you. Do you realize how rare it is to come across a hot girl who creates an adjectival version of the word pedophile?

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I have been putting off reading this for a while now because I wasn't sure if I was ready for the ""ugly cry"" that I was sure it was going to cause, but now I'm wondering, ""why did I wait so long?!""  The story opens up with Hazel Grace Lancaster, a 16 year old who originally had thyroid cancer but it has since moved into her lungs.  Her mom is worried about her being depressed and not having any friends, so she forces her to go to a support group every week for cancer survivors.  The group itself is extremely depressing, but she goes and stays quiet, occasionally communicating with Isaac.  One meeting there is a new boy, a hot boy, and he keeps staring at her, but why?  After all the treatments she's undergone, it has taken a toll on her body and she feels she's not all that attractive, but he seems to think different.<br/><br/>Augustus Waters, 17, doesn't really need to go to these support group meetings, but he's there to support his best friend, Isaac, who has already lost one eye to cancer and may lose the other.  Augustus had cancer himself at one point, osteosarcoma, but he beat it...lost a leg in the process, but he did beat it.  He is immediately drawn to Hazel and can't keep his eyes off her.<br/><br/>Hazel does her best not to let Augustus, or anyone else, in.  She feels that she is a grenade that is inevitably going to blow up and hurt everyone that cares for her, so she tries to keep the damage to a minimum - she doesn't want to let anyone get close to her.  No matter how hard she tries, Augustus finds his way in to her life, and into her heart.<br/><br/>I absolutely LOVED this book and every single one of the characters.  I knew what was going to happen (just not who), and I was prepared to bawl my eyes out, but surprisingly I didn't.  I did cry, my heart broke in two, but the characters themselves made it better somehow.  I especially enjoyed the writing style and how the characters were kind of smart-assy and sarcastic all of the time, exactly my kinda people.  This was a beautiful story of love, support, and accepting the inevitable.  One of my favorite quotes from the book - ""What a slut time is.  She screws everybody.""  Ain't that the truth...</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R34VHC24EVYMLT?ASIN=014242417X	Let us not kid ourselves. If we knew what it is like, we would be dying or dead.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars by John Green<br/><br/>Great art, be it writing, painting or music has one thing and one thing only in common. It should make the perceiver feel something, anything. John Green did this for me. He made me take notice of his universe much like Hazel Grace is observing hers.<br/><br/>On the surface it might seem that the plot of this story is about star crossed lovers. Young love snipped short. And it may be the plot on the surface. However it is much more. The true plot line can best be summed up with a quote from the tv series House Md. ""She thinks she can die with dignity. Nobody ever dies with dignity, they die in misery and if they are lucky they lived a dignified life"".<br/><br/>I spend the previous two weeks clearing out the house of my parents, my dad passed away more than 10 years ago. My mom less than three months.<br/>For a few months now I have been struggling with the very cheesy but apparent question -- what is it all for?  Why?  All that is left after two lifetimes exceeding a total of 150 years is....us. Me, my sister and brothers. This us, this we in our infinite universes, in the way we live and what we do with our lives is all that an accumulated 150 years has produced. Us. Faults, faulty human and scarred by life.<br/>Us. We are all still struggling with our loss and I can identify with Gus who needed to hear what he will remembered for. He wanted to know if he would leave a legacy, a scar or be a human hand grenade. Hazel is the one who observed. Who tread softly - who pondered and felt what she could while she could. So at the end of this book with the indignant death ever present in the plot.<br/>This book with it's theme wrapped up within legacy, this book made me feel. Made me watch my family cry, smile, even laugh. It made me feel and maybe, maybe if I am lucky my legacy would be light, would not be that of a grenade. Maybe it would be like a breeze. In an infinite universe, I can only hope.<br/><br/>WaAr.<br/><br/>http://www.amazon.com/Fault-Our-Stars-John-Green-ebook/dp/B007Z8ZKS2/ref=sr_sp-atf_title_1_2?s=digital-text&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1391850647&amp;sr=1-2&amp;keywords=the+fault+in+our+stars+kindle</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1UCBPYWMHU654?ASIN=014242417X	Believe the hype on this one.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Seeing that a book's plot involves cancer is enough to turn even the slightest of hypochondriacs away.  Add to that the fact that John Green's The Fault in Our Stars is in the Young Adult genre, and most people over the age of 16 would probably move right past it in the bookstore.  But take it from someone in her 30s who just finished the book and loved it (and is a mild hypochondriac): this is a book you need to read.<br/><br/>The plot concerns Augustus Waters and Hazel Grace Lancaster, the latter of which is the book's narrator.  They both had/have cancer, only Hazel's is a bit worse.  She reminds us regularly of her condition via her trips to the hospital, her bleak outlook on her future, and her oxygen tank (which she has named ""Philip""), which must be attached to her at all times or else she struggles to breathe.<br/><br/>It's at a cancer support group that she meets Augustus Waters, a former basketball player with a fake leg who once battled the cancer that stole it.  Augustus is instantly smitten with Hazel, but Hazel hesitates to entertain his advances because she knows she doesn't have a whole lot of time left.  Augustus is more of a seize-the-moment kind of guy, haven't looked death in the face and all, and he continues to pursue Hazel, even if it's just to be her friend.<br/><br/>Hazel and Augustus trade their favorite books (he reads hers, she reads his), and they end up traveling to Amsterdam to meet her favorite author.  While this may sound like it's steeped in improbability, it actually works rather well with the story, and it becomes an experience to remember, that much is certain.<br/><br/>Another entertaining character in the book is Augustus and Hazel's friend Isaac, a poor kid whose girlfriend dumps him when she finds out that he has to have his other good eye removed (after he lost the first one to cancer).  Isaac, however, has a great attitude toward his cancer, and he takes it all in stride.  He's even able to continue to play video games that work via voice prompts.  Just don't let your spiteful little brother come in the room and scream a command for your character to die.<br/><br/>What makes this book so magical is that it can make even the most hardened of readers both laugh and weep.  The dialogue is more true to life than that found in a majority of books out there today, particularly in the young adult genre (a genre that this novel transcends), which has a tendency to either sugar-coat life or patronize the reader.<br/><br/>Incidentally, The Fault in Our Stars will be coming to a movie theater near you in June.  Because Green was on set himself to supervise the film's production, the flick sounds like one to look forward to, and one that won't let us down by crapping all over our imaginations with a less-than-stellar adaptation.  With a touching read that's incredibly well written, heartfelt, and deliciously cynical, any author who can evoke the emotions you feel from this book deserves to have his work turned into a movie.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1IE1DTURFQDUS?ASIN=014242417X	not just for teenagers	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Here's a young adult novel about 3 teenagers with cancer, two of whom fall in love.  This premise may sound particularly unappealing, but think again.  Yes, it's a little weepy, but there's way more to it than that.  Our narrator is 16-year-old Hazel, who has terminal thyroid cancer that has spread to her lungs, forcing her to tote an oxygen cart around with her everywhere.  Augustus is her 17-year-old love interest, who has a type of cancer that most people survive, but he has already lost a leg to it.  Finally, there's Isaac, who brings the other two together at a support group meeting.  The author handles all this with such a deft hand and with such witty and intelligent dialog that I didn't even mind very much when he rather predictably turned the tables on us.  He never lets us forget that these characters have cancer, while at the same time making us love them for who they are—typical teenagers in many ways but wise beyond their years because they have to look at the world from a perspective that most of us don't have to experience.  The back story is Hazel's favorite book, a novel called An Imperial Affliction, also about a young person with cancer, that ends in the middle of a sentence.  She and Augustus manage to gain an audience with the author in Amsterdam in the hope that he will enlighten them as to what eventually happens to the characters in the book.  The big question, though, is this:  What's the point of loving someone who is about to die?  Given that death is inevitable and often unpredictable, we have to cherish every moment with those we love, and the author makes this point quite eloquently, without heavy-handedness.  He imbues his characters with a gentle thoughtfulness that draws our admiration and our compassion.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RAYBWW75OAI1X?ASIN=014242417X	FINALLY GAVE IN!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is a book that I've had sitting on my kindle for a while now. It is one of those that I really wanted to read, but knew there would be tears and sadness. So, I kept putting it off because who in their right mind willingly goes into reading something they know will make them ugly cry like there is no tomorrow?! But then I saw the movie trailer and I realized, there is so much more to the story than just the sadness of it.<br/><br/>So, I finally caved and started reading it. And yes, before you ask, I DID ugly cry something fierce. Reading about someone having cancer period is upsetting, no matter the age of the person. But when it is a child, it takes on a whole new level of grief. Especially of you are a parent. You never want to think something like the ""C"" word could happen to your child. But it can. And it does for so many.<br/><br/>Despite the difficultly of the subject matter, I am glad I read the book. I know it sounds crazy to say that after admitting I shed many tears, but reading it meant I got to experience Gus and Hazel's story. THAT made the tears worth it. They are characters that will quickly steal your heart. For me, it wasn't because they had cancer, it was in spite of it. They were so wise beyond their years at many times. But also very much still teenagers.<br/><br/>Now that I have read the book, I am a bit scared to see the movie when it releases. Although the trailer for it IS what got me to finally give in to reading the book, I am scared it won't live up to what I imagine in my head. I will probably wait it out to see what initial feedback there is from my fellow book lovers.<br/><br/>If you have been putting TFIOS off, I highly recommend taking the plunge and reading it. Yes, there will be tears. But truly Gus and Hazel are worth every single one of them that you will cry.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R34XOQMKTAJJXG?ASIN=014242417X	A good blend of sadness and comedy.  Not your typical cancer book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Hazel Grace and Augustus are teen cancer patients who meet at a support group for cancer survivors. Hazel Grace's lungs are so poor that she walks with an oxygen tank and nasal cannula during the day and has to sleep hooked up to a machine that drains fluid from her lungs and helps her to breathe at night. Augustus has lost his leg to cancer. His best friend, Isaac, lost his eyesight to cancer. I loved the character of Hazel Grace. The literary teen role model police might have some issues with her, but I think she's very ""real"" in the sense that she is a typical angst ridden teen. She gets frustrated with her parents. She secretly resents the healthy looking cancer survivors in her support group and wonders why they get a miracle while she doesn't. She's not really ""fighting"" cancer like the euphemism suggests. She's already resigned herself to the fact that she doesn't have long to live and that cancer is a battle that she can't ""win"". All the medicines and machines do is buy her a little more time.  Time that she learns to value over the course of the book. When it starts, she's living each day preparing herself for the fact that she's going to die soon. That's not really ""living"". Toward the end, she starts to actually and literally live each day. That's what I loved most about this book. It's a cheesy sentiment, but that age old question of ""Are you dying to live or living to die?"" (2Pac song lyric!!) is profoundly true, in my opinion.<br/><br/>I readily admit that my opinion of this book is based primarily on how it made me feel and it's ability to make me feel rather than on any technical aspects of how well it was written. The book probably does have issues that a more discerning reader might find fault in. I can understand why some say that there is too much purple prose or that the characters are flat or that the teen voices of Hazel Grace and Augustus seem a little stodgy and off. Despite that, I'm still inclined to say that if someone had the ability to read this book in it's entirety and not feel any empathy toward the main characters, something may be wrong with them.</span>"

The Fault in Our Stars (p. 112). Dutton Juvenile. Kindle Edition.<br/><br/>I hesitated many times to pick up this novel, at first, because everyone was commenting that even though it was a profound, unique love story, it was going to be a tough reading; that one has to be prepared to cry. I had just finished reading “Me Before You” by Jojo Moyes (I cried many times), and I was still debating whether I was strong enough to plunge right away.<br/><br/>I took courage, started and let me tell you that it wasn’t what I was expecting. The story was not really about their sickness but rather about their ordinary, normal life with unique circumstances. It portrayed how people with cancer lead a normal life as much as possible and did the best they could everyday.<br/><br/> “You’ll . . . you’ll . . . live your best life today. This is your war now.”<br/>Green, John (2012-01-10). The Fault in Our Stars (p. 216). Dutton Juvenile. Kindle Edition.<br/><br/>The strong sense of ordinary made it extraordinary.The author manages to transform the banality of their reality into a profound, meaningful one surpassing their cancer life threatening situation.<br/><br/>“That’s the thing about pain,” Augustus said, and then glanced back at me. “It demands to be felt.”<br/>Green, John (2012-01-10). The Fault in Our Stars (p. 63). Dutton Juvenile.

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2U836PVEW82LF?ASIN=014242417X	Beautiful and honest love story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was great. That being said, there are spoilers in this review, so don't read it if you haven't read the book. Just read the book, truly.<br/><br/>I loved Augustus and Hazel... real, fictitious, wonderful characters. I cried, as my friends told me I would, but not as much as I cried at the deaths of my own characters. I'll admit, as an author, I put off reading this because I was afraid your depiction of death would be better than mine. I'm not saying mine was better. I'm just saying I shouldn't be comparing myself to you because of course death of a character I gave birth to would be harder. I appreciated the Van Houten character. While I'm not an alcoholic, I see bits of myself in his crazy ways... although he had good reason. I do not.<br/><br/>Anyway, I guess this should be about the book more than about how I feel after the book. Or should it? Maybe so. We'll go with that. I knew the spoiler before going into it, so it was never a question of who or what, but when. That was enough to keep me cautiously enthralled in the story. Hazel was refreshingly smart and quick-witted, a rarity among the books I've read recently. Thank you for depicting her as a strong and honest human. I adored her. And Augustus? Our time with him was not long enough, which means you, Mr. Green, did your job well. He, too, was wise beyond his years. I write characters like that, too, so I have a great appreciation for them. I thought their love story was beautiful, tasteful and true. Maybe it wasn't factual, but a) I have no experience with cancer, so I don't know, and b) it's FICTION. We get to suspend reality for a bit. How grand!<br/><br/>Thank you, Mr. Green, for this book. This is the kind of literature people should be reading. You elevate the genre. You've done well. You've made your mark. You'll be remembered. Okay?</span>"

She started reading it as soon as she unwrapped it, and finished in a day and a half. Surprisingly, my 13 year old non-reader daughter Payton, read it after her sister, in 2 days. WOW!! That in itself was a HUGE feat and I just knew that I had to read it. I am extremely happy that I did.<br/><br/>The two young characters in this book are Hazel Grace and Augustus Waters. These children both have life threatening, although different types of cancer. Hazel and Augustus are beyond wise, beyond their time, although down to earth, normal life living teens.<br/><br/>The two start off as friends and that friendship turns into one amazing, phenomenal love story. Augustus would do anything for Hazel Grace. He would give his life for her. Augustus knows that the one thing at the top of her list, her dying wish is to meet her favorite author. What Augustus does to make her wish come true is exuberant. It's extraordinary and he thinks of it as just making her happy.<br/><br/>Augustus does what every man who is on love would do. That is to make Hazel Grace happy and to see her smile. I am not going to lie ... This story is heart breaking, yet a heart felt read. I HIGHLY recommend that everyone read it. After you have read it, pass it onto a friend and let them read this beautiful, feel good love story.<br/><br/>If I was able to, this book would be rated a 10 by me. Please read this book, you will be very pleasantly surprised by the intelligence of these children and the incredible love that they feel toward one another. I know that it has been out for quite some time, but I am glad that I finally broke down and read it. I dare say this is my favorite book of 2014. Even though the year has just begun, I must say it's going to be very hard to beat. Well done Mr. Green!!<br/><br/>Meghan's Review:<br/><br/>The Fault In Our Stars is a tear jerking story that involves two brilliant teenagers, Hazel Grace and Augustus Waters. Hazel and Grace met in a support group meeting for cancer patients. It was the illness that brought them together and it then grew into a beautiful and powerful romance. Hazel doesn't like to be called Hazel Grace, but accepts it as long as it is Augustus that is saying it.<br/><br/>One of their lives were deprived due to the illness that took control of their body. Augustus's love for Hazel Grace is so strong that he used his only wish to fulfill her life long dream. His wish took them on an adventure to Amsterdam, where they had their first kiss. This is where they realize that what they feel for each other is true love.<br/><br/>Author John Green is brilliant. He writes his characters as very intelligent teenagers. He incorporates real life dilemmas that most people can relate to. The message that John Green portrays is to love the people in your life and not take life too seriously, or for granted. You just never know what tomorrow holds.<br/><br/>This story is so great that I didn't want to put it down and I hated that it was over. The only thing I didn't like was the ending. I needed closure and didn't feel that I received that.<br/><br/>I recommend this book to anyone, young or old. It will capture your heart. Be prepared with a box if tissues because you will need it!!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2XL6MQX1JF92W?ASIN=014242417X	One of the best YA books I have ever read!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">“My thoughts are stars I cannot fathom into constellations.”<br/><br/>So... I wasn't sure whether or not I wanted to write a review for this book because, well, it's The Fault in Our Stars and it was beautiful, sad, gorgeous and real. Also my first John Green book and so many people had read it already and I don't usually read this genre — realistic young adult fiction — at all, especially not this topic, but I have to say I was very surprised by how much I ended up loving this book. So I really need to say THANK YOU to my friend Em for gifting it to me.<br/><br/>“As he read, I fell in love the way you fall asleep: slowly, and then all at once.”<br/><br/>Ah, where do I start? I was really impressed by the exquisite and stunning writing of John Green. But it was more than that... it was also the characters and not just the main ones, Hazel and Augustus. Although, of course they played a pretty big part. I just mean that the main characters as well as the secondary characters made this book its perfect whole.<br/>Also I loved Hazel and enjoyed reading in her point of view and how she slowly fell in love with Augustus. It was something special. And Augustus? Well, he was something else. I would lie if I said I didn't fall a little for him too. Such an amazing characters. I also liked his friend Isaac, though I felt real sorry for him most of the time. Also characters worthy to mention would be Hazel's parents. I don't know why but I really liked those people!<br/><br/>“The world is not a wish-granting factory.”<br/><br/>And then there's the story. This beautiful and sad story. It's more than just a cancer story, it's a romance and damn it if I wasn't totally swept away by Hazel and Augustus' love story. But all good things come to an end and yes, I did cry (which I don't usually do with a lot with books) so that says a lot for me and how into this book I was.<br/><br/>“That's the thing about pain,"" Augustus said, and then glanced back at me. ""It demands to be felt”<br/><br/>Funny at times even though a sad but beautiful story, The Fault in Our Stars really did something for me. I loved it, even if it's not my usual genre or topic. The book altogether was something gorgeous. The writing was stunning and the characters each special in their own way. I can't press how much I would recommend this book to anyone who hasn't read it yet. I mean it. Read. It. Now.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1V00OIR5BD87Q?ASIN=014242417X	Sad? Cheeky? Insightful? Blunt?	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I only downloaded this because it was selected for the book club I attend. This is in no way a book I would have chosen myself, despite being a best seller. In fact, a book being a best seller has very little weight in gold to me.<br/><br/>I. Love. This. Book. I have read so few books twice, but already I want to reread this one. What do I love about it? The simplicity of the story, because after all, isn't life utterly simple, depending on the viewer? Hazel Grace indeed views life (and death) to be almost painfully simple. I don't believe in spoilers in reviews, but I will say the realistic dark undertow and turn of events is almost refreshing. This is not a feel-good story about romance. These are children dying, and families dying (in a sense) with them. This is about children who are merely buying time, and the prices they pay just to better their odds of living another year, knowing they will never grow old or have children of their own. They're struggling to make peace with their deaths, as well as the reality of what happens afterwards (here on Earth, I mean.) This is about human nature, both in its glory and in its wretched artificial sweetness.<br/><br/>Easily my second favorite aspect of this book was how the author captured human characteristics perfectly and with such perfect balance. There are people we love, people we hate, people we love to hate and those we feel bad for hating. The main character, Hazel Grace, is not concerned with leaving her mark on the world as so many people are (myself included). She is concerned with minimizing damage done by her death, going so far as calling herself a grenade. She sees the pain caused to others as other cancer patients die, and she sees families torn apart. She also sees how artificial people can be, the deceased gaining renewed interest in those who had otherwise long since forgotten them during their battle with cancer. (How we have an aversion to sickness, but nothing like death to bring about an onslaught of long lost friends.)<br/><br/>This book is cheeky, funny, sweet, and sad. It's very cynical, blunt, dark, and honest. It's relatable, insightful, disgusting, and romantic. This book is wonderful.<br/><br/>(I would also like to point out, this book was very well written. It is surprising the number of books that get released with ample amounts of spelling and grammar mistakes that, if the author couldn't catch, then surely the editor should have. This piece of work was quite refreshing in that regard.)</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3D9A9QEPFJKJ6?ASIN=014242417X	Reading Books Like a Boss Review for The Fault in Our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">3.5 stars<br/><br/>This book left me breathless and at a complete loss for words. I don't know how to even begin to put my thoughts into words, but I'm going to do my darndest. Going into this book, I knew it was a cancer book. I was made sure I was prepared for the emotional warfare that John Green was about to bestow upon me. I had a good supply of Kleenex, a pillow to cry into, ugly comfy clothes, and lots of chocolate. You guys, I knew this was going to be emotional, but I had NO IDEA just how jack up I would be in the end. The book wins the award for ""Best Ugly Cry Fest"". I was a complete wreck. No other book has made me cry this hard.<br/><br/>Okay, now that I've discussed my snotty, ugly cry, I'll talk about the book. Okay? Okay. (*sniff sniff*)<br/><br/>Augustus Waters and Hazel Grace are two fictional characters that I will never forget. As professional sick people, both have had to stare death in the face at such a young age. They are remarkably mature and have an interesting outlook on life (however, short theirs may be). Augustus buys cigarettes, but doesn't smoke them (a walking metaphor). Augustus makes cancer jokes, but the reality of it all is anything but funny. Hazel Grace's lungs work the way they're supposed to, and Augustus has one leg. Both characters take this horrific, gut-wrenching situation and somehow make it less foreboding and depressing. See, the funny thing about cancer:<br/>""Cancer is not all that bad really, it just wants to be alive.""<br/><br/>Yes, cancer is the antagonist in this tearjerker. You have been forewarned. If you are one of those people who avoids Nicholas Sparks's books because someone always dies in the end, I beg of you to read this book. I'm not saying anyone dies, but the journey these characters take together is wonderful. If anything, the writing alone is reason enough to read this book. As I read, I felt like I was getting an education at the ""College of Sentence Artistry"" taught by professor John freaking Green. I say this in a non-self-deprecating way: there is no way on God's green earth that I would be able to craft a sentence like John Green. The man is a genius.<br/><br/>This story and the characters made me feel. By the end of the book, I was gutted, emotionally raw, and strangely happy. Even with all the talk of death, I was left with a feeling of hope. Augustus so desperately wanted his life to mean something, to leave a big mark. But Hazel helped him realize that perhaps he already had left his mark. He fell in love with Hazel Grace and helped her and many others live their life to the fullest. Hazel and Augustus lived beautiful lives, despite being hunted and haunted by death.<br/>""Why are you looking at me like that?""<br/>""Because you're beautiful. I enjoy looking at beautiful people, and I decided a while ago not to deny myself the simpler pleasures of existence.""<br/><br/>Though the subject matter of this book is doom and gloom, it is surprising funny (or maybe not-so surprisingly funny if you're a John Green fanatic. The man is hilarious). Augustus's quirky view of his own life and illness was what made me smile. Augustus's and Hazel's banter back and forth had me laughing out loud and envious of their wit and comedic timing. And if all this praise isn't enough to get you to read this book, there is Venn Diagram humor.<br/><br/>""I didn't tell him that the diagnosis came three months after I got my first period. Like: Congratulations! You're a woman. Now die.""<br/><br/>Kissing someone so that you can get a free trip is perilously close to full-on hooking, and I have to confess that while I did not fancy myself a particularly good person, I never thought my first real sexual action would be prostitutional.<br/><br/>Green has written a love story, but TFioS is so much more. It's a story about tragedy and what you choose do with it. It's a story about two people who have been dealt a crappy hand who choose to forget about winner and just play the game.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RDLLZ8T4FMMM9?ASIN=014242417X	inconsistent and unrealistic	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is the story of teenagers who fall in love while battling cancer. They have lives that have irrevocably changed by this terminal illness which is heart breaking kn a real life sense. But low and behold this is a fictious book. In my mind I thought wow we have mature young adults who can articulate themselves. And then they kept talking and I quickly changed my mind. They used sarcasim non stop which I found unrealistic is 90% of the situations it was used in. I dont know where this book went wrong for me , but I found myself just wanting it to emd because of the monotonous attitude in the book. I just knew what was going to happen Nd became very bored which is the last thing I want while reading a book. It was unbelievable to think that this girl who said she was a homebody and never talked to anyone to just randomly see a guy who stares at her smiles then invites her over? Yeah sure...... Hazel made herself out to be akward in the beginning but then she had no issues with this guy his friend or his family and relating to them. It just seemed incredibly forced to me. The suthor brought in Hazel's one girl friend which was a complete waste of space it did not contribute to the story what else besides attempting to possibly show that she told her friend she was leaving so she could be alone.... which made no sense because her motherwas at the mall watching her... well Mr. Author that was obviously an oversight on your part. Her favorite author also added no dimension to the story what so ever. Hazel made herself out to seem mature but then she was incredibly childish when it came to meeting him and wanting answers about a hamster......<br/>Well I will stop my rambling but I could go on and on with more examples of inconsistencies and realistic behavior in young adults with cancer.... I wish I could explain my feelings better than that but after finishing the book my is at that place where I am just so confused on all the good reviews.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1YXNHE3AHP0EU?ASIN=014242417X	Beautifully sad and thought provoking	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This was the first book I've read in many years that wasn't in the fantasy genre. I do not regret reading this. In fact, I couldn't put it down. I read the entire book in a single day. It was that good.<br/><br/>The characters feel real and are very likable. The romance doesn't feel flimsy or forced; there is real chemistry between Hazel and Augustus, which is rare in novels with young adults as the main characters. They may be young in age, but they are ""old souls"" due to their life experiences from fighting cancer and everything that comes with it. I don't want to label this book as a young adult novel because I don't feel like it was written for young adults. I feel like it was written for anyone and everyone, yet the vernacular and philosophical musings seem aimed more at adults than youth. Just my opinion. I, an adult, thoroughly enjoyed this on an intellectual and philosophical level I couldn't have attained in my youth.<br/><br/>This book made me laugh and made me cry. Unfortunately more of the latter. Again, I do not regret it. As someone dealing with chronic physical pain and health problems I related to these characters and their plights. The author shines a light on the ugly and lesser known side of physical suffering as well as the emotional turmoil and pain that accompanies it. Yet there is beauty and life within this book about dying. The relationships and conversations between the characters are often funny and thought provoking. It begs you to take a step back and look at life in a different light. Notice the universe, if you will.<br/><br/>The author doesn't waste words. It might seem slow paced to some if you're used to a book with more action, but for what it is I feel it is very well-paced and draws out more emotion from the reader. It drew me in and made me feel for the characters as if I knew them in real life.<br/><br/>I highly recommend this book.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RWUFAO4G6CBTI?ASIN=014242417X	A Poor Pirate King	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I met John Green before I had read any of his books, on a humid summer day, at a book festival in Philadelphia. I was dating this girl, and he was one of her favorite authors. She desperately wanted to see him, but she had some silly work obligation that she felt too guilty to get out of. A Knight of Infinite resignation she was (yes, I snuck in a Kierkegaard reference, for you nerdfighters), though I'm sure she grew out of it. I wanted her to grow out of it faster. Which is to say I wanted to sleep with her.<br/><br/>I was feeling self important as 26 year olds are wont to feel, and this was increased both by the humidity and the fact that the average attendee earnestly awaiting their signed copy was about 15. I bought Paper Towns and an Abundance of Katherines and asked them to sign it for her and proclaim me a pirate king. You have doubtless done stupid things to get laid, and this was one of mine. John refused to say I was a pirate king, but displayed remarkable patience at dealing with my exasperating younger self.<br/><br/>The point of this story, which you should rightfully be wondering, is that John Green has a conscience, and an adherence to the truth that comes through in his every word. He will be silly, he will err, but something happens when that man puts pen to paper, and it is something that prevents him for lying.<br/><br/>I picked up this book after dreading it for months. I googled the synopsis, and read parts of it backwards, like the coward that I am. If you have ever known someone battling cancer and illness, the pain is so great that the threat of it, and the sheer weight of it, seems unbearable. I didn't think the truth of it could be captured so well, and I'm convinced Virginia Woolf would have been pleased by this rendition of sickness. The sheer beauty and joy of the book is so great that you will perhaps identify with the parents the most, for having the opportunity to glimpse into the lives of these characters, and you will be hard pressed not to notice, care, and soften towards other people in its wake. Which is the true spiritual test of great literature.<br/><br/>Please, please, read it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1HKOS6J5TVRML?ASIN=014242417X	~Christina's Book Blog~ 3.5 Stars. Not bad but not GREAT either.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">“That’s the thing about pain,” Augustus said, and then glanced back at me.<br/>“It demands to be felt.”<br/><br/>The Fault in our stars has been a book that I’ve been hearing wonderful things about. When I finally had the chance to actually read for leisure I quickly brought this one up. After reading it I must say that although a wonderful story I was not blown away.<br/><br/>Hazel is a 16 year old girl who has been living with lung cancer for three years. Since she is not able to attend school her mother insist that she join a support group with other children that have cancer. But Hazel despises the idea of having to sit in the sessions and hear over and over the same stories from their leader.<br/><br/>The day that Augustus accompanies one of the group members to session, Hazel is captivated by him. When she finds out that Gus is actually one of the few that is survived the “illness”, she admires his courage and charisma. But most of all, his determination not to let his situation make him bitter and angry.<br/><br/>The two quickly find a friendship and love in their relationship that none thought possible.<br/><br/>But then tragedy strikes for one of them.<br/><br/>“You gave me a forever within the numbered days, and I'm grateful.”<br/><br/>Hazel and Augustus aren’t two normal teenagers. No matter how much they want it, they both are battling a sickness that is incurable. Experiencing the POV of a teenager suffering through this sickness makes this a heartbreaking read. No matter how much you want to fall in love with the characters and for them to live HEA you know that this story just doesn’t end that way. Nonetheless, The Fault in Our Stars does make you fall in love with the characters and takes you on a sad but beautiful journey. There were parts that had me tearing up and many that had me smiling.<br/><br/>Now there is the argument that the theme of this book has been done many times over and didn't have anything unique in storyline. Sadly, I agree, only because at the end of the book it just didn't feel like a book that I would read again. Although I liked it, I was bored after a certain part and couldn't connect with Hazel on any level throughout the book. The other characters I did connect with, particularly Augustus. I loved everything about him and his character was the easiest to connect with.<br/><br/>Overall, a wonderful read. I would recommend that you read it and experience it for yourself.<br/><br/>Happy Reading!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R23BIKK8VVUILJ?ASIN=014242417X	Painfully realistic and delightfully uplifting at the same time	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Every once in a while I read a book that hits me so hard it knocks the breath out of me. This was one of those books. It took me some time to collect myself enough to sit down and write this review, because John Greene is simply a genius, and I can only hope to do his book justice with these few paragraphs.<br/><br/>Sixteen year old Hazel Grace, because of a miracle drug, has been able to fight cancer and live longer than anyone expected her to. She lives day in and day out with the knowledge and the fear that her condition could worsen and cut her life short. She’s also not a regular teenager since her normal routine consists of medical treatments and attending a cancer support group. It is at this support group that she meets Augustus Waters. Augustus is immediately smitten with her and the two of them start a friendship that throughout the story blooms into a romance.<br/><br/>Augustus Waters also has cancer, although he has been “NEC” (No Evidence of Cancer) for a few years now. As a side effect of his ailment, he lost part of one leg and now walks with a prosthetic. As a former basketball player and as a result of his charismatic personality, Augustus has no trouble making friends and being liked. Although it’s apparent that Hazel and Augustus very much like each other, Hazel is cautious about not starting a relationship with him. Since she considers herself to be sicker than him, she doesn’t want to be the “grenade” that explodes and leaves shattered hearts on everyone that loves her. As a result of a chain of events in this story, Hazel and Augustus end up traveling together to Amsterdam to meet the author of a book that Hazel idolizes. During this trip their relationship begins to transform as the harsh reality of their condition begins to hit them head-on.<br/><br/>I recommend that you read this book with a box of tissues in hand, because not only will you will fall in love with the characters and will suffer with them through their hardships, but you will also fall in love with their love. The level of emotion that this book brings out is very deep. You do not have to be a cancer victim, survivor, or even to have known someone with cancer to understand and feel what they are going through. It is painfully realistic and delightfully uplifting at the same time. A combination that in this case is pure gold. 5 stars all the way.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3OXLY59GJZLO7?ASIN=014242417X	Young Adult, Dark Humor and Gloom	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">A very interesting approach to the story of a modern young woman in the throes of cancer, surrounded by her support system consisting of those suffering from varieties of the same death sentence.  It is a young adult novel, which I don’t often find myself reading save for this being a choice in a community-wide read that I am on a committee for.<br/><br/>The best part of this book is it’s semi-sweet cynical humor found without - a very morbid, realistic view of life at the end of life and at the beginning of life, the young narrator brings us along her journey of love and self discovery, all the while trailed by the expiration date they all must face eventually.<br/><br/>I liked the pacing and the friendly language, but the true art in this piece is Green’s portrayal of the narrator and how she tells the story.  Brilliantly written and engaging for young audiences - and I could easily see how this did (and continues to do) so well.  I have a few complaints about the believability of a few things - namely the way the characters used profanity (didn’t seem as natural where it occurred to me, for some reason) and also the author’s work who is a centerpiece to the novel.  He was a believable character, but the work wasn’t for some reason - i.e. as a writer I don’t see someone writing a book that doesn’t have an ending even getting published, and the plot outlined in the book is significantly less believable in the language it is written, even though the one in your hands as you read is believable.<br/><br/>While I saw the ending coming from a mile away, I could see how everyone who read it reviewed it as an absolute tear jerker.  There were some gorgeous lines interspersed in the overall piece of popular fiction, but it was a good read, and I will be recommending it to the rest of the committee.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3DBIDUKGMGC4N?ASIN=014242417X	Decent, but not as amazing as I hoped it would be	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">It took me a million and one years to finally pick up The Fault in Our Stars. Honestly, I think I put it off for two main reasons: 1) I thought the cover was boring, and 2) I just wasn't into cancer books. But after reading and LOVING Maybe One Day (an amazing and heartbreaking cancer book), I knew I had to give The Fault in Our Stars a chance.<br/><br/>I love how such a big part of this book was the characters connecting with a book. It's like a book inside of a book! Hazel and Augustus really bond over her favourite story and dream about meeting the author. I didn't quite expect that element and I love how it turned out.  It gave Hazel and Augustus something to enjoy and strive towards together, and that really helped them build their relationship.<br/><br/>Isaac actually ended up being one of my favourite characters. He's Hazel and Augustus's friend and he had to get his eyes removed because of his cancer. I just wanted to hug him so many times throughout the book! He's such a sweet guy.<br/><br/>I kind of feel like an idiot for not guessing the ending (because in hindsight I guess it's obvious), but man, that hit me like a freight train. That's when the tears came! I won't say I was drowning in tears, because I wasn't. I've cried harder over other books. But a few tears did some and I was laying in bed sniffling somewhat pathetically. I think part of me is a little disappointed that I didn't cry more (which might be weird), but oh well. Not every book can turn you into an ugly cryer.<br/><br/>I think the one thing things I didn't love about this book were the characters. Both main characters (Hazel and Augustus) were a bit... pretentious. They're the kind of people that over analyze everything and meticulously pick apart common slang, phrases, and traditions. It was a bit funny at first, but it got a tiring after a while, and in general, I'm not crazy about people like that. I've encountered a few before and they drive me a bit nuts with their, ""Oh you poor, naïve mortal, you can't speak as well as I can"" attitude. I found myself skimming a few of the long, pretentious, ""let's analyze the heck out of this"" paragraphs.<br/><br/>And, similarly, I never really saw Hazel and Augustus's relationship as love. Hazel and Augustus had a great, great relationship, but I mostly saw it as friendship. I didn't see a lot of sexual chemistry there. They were definitely two people of the same mind, and in that sense they fit together wonderfully, but that was kind of it. No sexual tension, no chemistry, no romance. And I would have been totally okay with that, had Hazel and Augustus not constantly called their relationship ""true love"" and ""an epic love story"" and things like that. I think I would have clicked with it better had it just been a wonderful friendship, rather than forced into a romance.<br/><br/>I didn't completely hate the characters though. I loved how kind and selfless Augustus was. If you remove his pretentious side, he's really an amazing guy. He goes above and beyond for his friends, and that really shined throughout the book.<br/><br/>Overall I do think that The Fault in Our Stars is a great book, and it's easy to see why so many people adore it. It's not one of my favourites, but it's certainly worth a read and I recommend that everyone give it a shot!</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1DEBMIPKHMZB?ASIN=014242417X	Tragic, Funny, Witty, Heartbreaking	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is both tragic and funny.  John Green is able to blend the two into such a beautiful story of teenagers in love.  The story involves Hazel and Augustus who meet in a cancer survivor group.  The two of them are typical teenagers who are nervous around the opposite sex, text rather than talk on the phone, and think adults don't understand them.  But, they are also not typical teenagers.  Both are cancer survivors and Hazel has lungs that don't work right and force her to drag her oxygen tank with her everywhere.  Hazel is 16 and takes college courses after getting her GED.  Augustus is 19 and was once a star basketball player until he lost his leg to cancer.  The two of them speak in metaphors and quote books while making jokes about their cancer status.  You can't help but find their relationship absolutely adorable, charming, and yet, heartbreaking.<br/><br/>As I was reading the book, I was at first surprised that it was labeled as a YA novel.  There were plenty of words used in the book that I didn't know.  Also, the theme of the book was a bit adult at times.  It is written for ages 14 and up, but I would recommend it for maybe 16 or even 17 and up.  I know that our son who will be 14 in 6 months wouldn't ""get"" this novel at this point in his life. The story is told from Hazel's perspective and her vocabulary is abnormal from most 16 year-old girls.  She is quite intelligent and well-read.<br/><br/>Hazel won me over immediately with her witty banter and the way she was completely literal and straight forward regarding her cancer, how she felt, and what she was thinking.  Hazel said the things most of us thought and wanted to say and made me laugh numerous times. One of my favorite lines in the book is when Hazel is about to leave on a trip, she looks down her blouse and says to her lungs, ""Keep your sh*t together.""<br/><br/>The story of Hazel and Augustus will elicit varied emotions as you travel through the pages.  No, they aren't typical teenagers because they have already lived a life most of us will never live.  Keep that in mind as you turn the pages and struggle with their conversations.  Don't let that take away from the underlying message of the story and the relationship Hazel and Augustus have in a much too short story.  Keep a box of kleenex close by.<br/><br/>THE FAULT IN OUR STARS is currently be made into a movie which I am super excited about.  It's tentatively scheduled for June 2014 in the US.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3FUEMGMOSA5SM?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in Our Stars captivates readers through heartbreak, romance and humor	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">For novelist John Green, it seems as though the fourth novel is the charm. The Fault in Our Stars is the fourth book written by the author, and received by far the most positive public reaction of all of his books. The novel rose to #1 on the Amazon.com and Barnes &amp; Noble bestseller lists in June 2011. Quickly rising to the number one New York Times Best Seller, teens all over the nation became captivated by the story of Hazel Grace Lancaster, a teenager living with cancer.<br/>Warning all readers! All emotions, from laughter to tears will be provoked while reading the story of Hazel. John Green manages to portray a sorrow-filled story in a humorous and thought-provoking way.<br/>  Hazel Grace has the mind of a regular teenager; however her body is not as healthy as a typical one. Diagnosed with Stage 4 thyroid cancer at a young age of thirteen, along with tumors in her lungs, she has learned to live with treatments and the frightening life of a cancer patient. Phalanxifor, a new drug on the market, has kept her alive for four years. Now a seventeen year old, Hazel is forced to carry an oxygen tank around. Hazel is definitely not a typical teenager due to both her illness as well as her frighteningly morbid view on the world<br/>  Green keeps the readers smiling through the perspective of witty Hazel. Both her brutal honesty and realistic view on life capture the reader from page one. As Hazel introduces herself, she describes her experience at a support group for teens with cancer which is ""boring as hell"". She explains that she ""Didn't want to take the elevator, because taking the elevator is a Last Days activity at Support Group."" Hazel is able to depict such a morbid scene in a refreshing way that opens a door of comprehension into a world that all audiences may not otherwise understand.<br/> The true beauty of the story is when Augustus Waters, a happy-go-lucky survivor of cancer meets Hazel. A whole new kind of romance is introduced to the world of literature. Hazel and ""Gus"" immediately hit it off, and continue in a relationship of deep understanding. The book follows the plot of these two teenagers in love, and with a beautiful balance of dry humor, romance and thought-provoking perspectives on life, John Green draws the reader in, creating literature that will make a difference in lives of many young Americans.<br/>  Green portrays a romance based on support in times of tragedy. It is hard not to melt over the true affection that Gus has for Hazel. The book shows the difficulty of loving someone who does not know how much time they have on this earth. The unconditional love that these two share in times of tragedy will captivate you. ""I'll fight it. I'll fight it for you. Don't you worry about me, Hazel Grace. I'm okay. I'll find a way to hang around and annoy you for a long time."" Not only is this romance extremely meaningful, but the fact that both teens have survived cancer for so long provides life perspectives that provoke self-reflection. As Gus so perfectly and simply says, ""The real heroes anyway aren't the people doing things; the real heroes are the people NOTICING things, paying attention."" All readers will be forced to think about life in a larger perspective, and notice the heartbreaking truth of love in a mortal world.<br/>  To read this story is to have one's perspectives changed forever. This must-read has been called ""a blend of melancholy, sweet, philosophical and funny"" by The New York Times. It also states that the book ""stays the course of tragic realism"". It is impossible to put this unique book down. Once you do, the loving and thoughtful story of Hazel and Gus will stick with you for quite some time. A captivating and emotional read, The Fault in Our Stars is one of the best young adult novels in the market today.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1I7KOZ2QSVX75?ASIN=014242417X	Heartwarming story...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I knew it would leave me hanging like that AIA book. Now I am like Hazel, wanting to know what happened next. If she died too like Anna in AIA. I hate you, John Green for ending it like that. &gt;:( Whatever.<br/><br/>And as much as I really wanna hate John Green, I don't. Not really. Like the AIA book (this book is just a fictional book and doesn't really exist, it was just mentioned in TFOS book), I know that it just feel right to end like that. It's appropriate. Although it just leave me wanting to know what happened with the other character... I'm okay with the ending.<br/><br/>The Fault in Our Stars got really high praises from almost everyone I know from Goodreads. My real life friends (those who had already read the book) says that I would love the book and will cry like they did. Well, yeah I was expecting it to be so epic. WHAT? Put yourself in my shoes and of course you'll expect something high from it.<br/><br/>Did my expectation meets the book's praises from everyone? Well, yeah! But not that much. I mean, first part of the book, I'm waiting for the crying part. And got nothing. But that's okay. I told myself, it's just the first part, of course there's no crying yet. Middle part, still got nothing. Although I'm quite satisfied with how the story is developing.<br/><br/>I love Augustus, love Hazel, I like them together. I like how they try to be with each other even with all the sickness they both got. So yeah... Slightly last part (maybe between the middle and last part of the book), I got a bit shocked. Because well he relapsed. I guess that it is a possibility even though they cleared you at first and still clear for a long time.<br/><br/>Also, I don't like how Gus told his friend (forgot his name) and Hazel to make an Obituary for him. It just breaks my heart. Still does whenever I think of it, like right now. I'm a bit teary eyed remembering how and what they wrote for him in case he dies. I would never be strong enough to write about my loved ones for their funeral. I would never be strong enough to tell them to write one, in the first place.<br/><br/>But that last part? I freakin' cried. WHY?! Why... It's just so sudden. I turn the next page, on the next chapter... HE DIED?! WHY?! JUST. LIKE. THAT. I was like. WHAT?! :((( and then I love the letter he made for the author of AIA. It was really for Hazel. How he felt for her. It's just so... heartbreaking. Because he's gone and all that. And I feel what Hazel was feeling while reading the letter.<br/><br/>I feel like there's more to the letter when it got cut off. Yeah. It ends with the letter. But I really feel that there's still some message left. I do think it was cut because Hazel dies too. Yeah. Sad. :(<br/><br/>I don't really like reading books where one of the main characters die. That's why I never read Nicholas Sparks books anymore. But anyway... The plot of this TFOS is really good. The characters are well created, well-thought.<br/><br/>It shows what happens to people who have cancer. How they feel. I know it might not be what they REALLY think because they might lose hope... but this book is about learning to live while you can. Hoping that one day you'll be okay. That SOMEONE is still there to love you unconditionally. Who support you without question asks because they love you so much. It's not just about the person who got cancer. It's also about the people around them. Their loved ones trying to cope, it might always be rough... but again... Don't lose hope. I know it is hard. SO hard and SO EASY to just give it all up. But if you could still can... DON'T.<br/><br/>I might be interpreting the book wrong... but that's how I felt after reading it. So that's just my opinion and you are entitled to yours too. :)</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RLT8AQCO1B48J?ASIN=014242417X	Epically Amazing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">My friends told me I had to read this book.  That it was one of the best they'd ever read, that I'd fall in love with the characters, that it'd leave me feeling broken and sad, but that I'd love it just the same.  And so, I put it off for quite some time because I don't really enjoy being sad.  I also don't like to physically borrow books from the library because they aren't mine, and the ebook of this one was just too much money, in my opinion (at no point do I think ebook prices should be comparable to the paperback price).  But then there was a sale and the ebook was only $3.99 on Amazon, so I scooped it up and, one Friday evening not too long ago, started reading it.<br/><br/>Initially, it didn't pull me in.  I wasn't in love with the characters, the plot was like so many I've read before, and I just didn't see what everyone was talking about (and I do mean everyone).  Hazel didn't tug on my heart strings--in fact, she was presented in a way that made me dislike her.  Catty and unforgiving, she jerks her parents around and has all but given up, even though she has a second chance at life.  I couldn't understand her.  Augustus was interesting, but he seemed unreal, almost forced to me, and I sighed and thought this was going to be one of those instances where I just didn't feel the same as the whole world around me.<br/><br/>And then, at some point while I was reading (and I honestly can't pinpoint it), I became irrevocably attached to the characters.  Augustus seems to bring out the best in everyone around him, and Hazel's snark stopped getting on my nerves and I began to love her, and all those around her.  They jumped off the page and became real.  And then, as John Green has a tendency to do, he ripped out my heart and left me blubbering for hours into the night, blowing my nose, soaking my shirt in tears, hiccupping for breath.  The Fault in Our Stars is just that touching, and it truly left me breathless.  And while I didn't fall in love with the story right away, I definitely did fall in love with it.  My friends were right, as they usually are.  This is an amazing novel and I highly suggest you read it if you haven't.  I just hope the movie rendition does it justice, because this is a very powerful piece.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3J2TAHY11AN8W?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault In Our Stars by John Green	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I...just...all the feelings.<br/><br/>When I first heard about this book I was so excited for it, it sounded like an excellent story and I couldn't wait to get my pre-order in the mail. Then I started reading reviews and seeing people rave over the book on twitter and I got anxious. See, a lot of times when a book has crazy hype and everyone loves it, I end up not really caring for the book. I don't like not liking everyone's favorite thing, but it's just usually how it works. John Green has such a passionate and devoted following and I didn't want to let anyone down by not liking the book. So when I got it in the mail, I promptly put it on my shelf and went about reading every other book first. Then one night I was feeling brave and decided I was finally going to give it a go. I should also tell you that I am actually a ghost while writing this, because I am dead. This book absolutely killed me, but the good kind of killed (there is a good kind, I swear).<br/><br/>I don't even know if I can really review this book, because every time I think about it all that comes to mind is WOW, what, what what?, *sob*, *swoon*, etc. I fully expected a book about a girl with cancer to make me feel things, because that is what stories about dying people do, but I never expected the level of emotion that this story evoked. And not just sad emotions, there was plenty of humor, happiness, and anger thrown into the mix. I'm pretty sure Augustus Waters is one of my favorite people (real or fictional) of all time. That boy is just so cool. Also, sweet and completely adorable. For a while I wished that the book was written from his point of view, but ultimately I really liked seeing him through Hazel's eyes. The best scenes were when the two of them were together, alone or with other people, bantering back and forth. I loved their personalities when they got together and they both had a wicked sense of humor.<br/><br/>After finishing the last couple of pages, I reread them, then just stared at the book for a little while. I was so completely blown away and so grateful that I finally took the chance on this amazing story. This is definitely one for the reread pile and now I have the extremely hard task of choosing which John Green book to follow this one up with. I have this sneaking suspicion that no other character is going to live up to Augustus, but I guess that's alright by me</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1Z400RG9SND35?ASIN=014242417X	Heartbreaking...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I avoided this book like the plague because the subject matter seemed way too heavy.  Don’t get me wrong, I love a novel filled with angst and sorrow but this would be too much for even me to handle.  I had been told by fellow readers that it’s a book that MUST be read.  With a heavy heart I decided to find some courage and tackle this book with an open mind.<br/><br/>“As he read, I fell in love the way you fall asleep: slowly, and then all at once.”<br/><br/>The Fault in Our Stars in an incredibly well written and thought out book, filled with memorable characters and a heartbreaking plot.  There’s even a twist that I did not see coming and I welcomed it with open arms.  Mind you, I think I needed therapy and some Xanax by the time I was done but it was definitely engaging.  The first few chapters did seem a little slow for me but it wasn’t a bad thing, I believe the author was setting up the foundation of a profound story of love and loss.<br/><br/>“Sometimes, you read a book and it fills you with this weird evangelical zeal, and you become convinced that the shattered world will never be put back together unless and until all living humans read the book.”<br/><br/>This is the story of a two teenagers battling cancer.  Not only do they become friends but they ultimately fall in love and the journey they embark on is one that will move you to tears.  As I read this book I felt like I was running out of time because I wanted them to experience a life without cancer, without the worry of the doom and gloom that was constantly nipping at their heels.<br/><br/>“What a slut time is. She screws everybody.”<br/><br/>The writing is absolutely stellar and incredibly clever.  The dialogue between Hazel and Augustus was filled with wit, sarcasm and amazing insight on life.  I really don’t have the words to describe what this book did to me.  Could I re-read it?  Probably not because it’s way too heavy but I highlighted a number of quotes that I don’t want to forget.  Yes, the writing is that good.<br/><br/>“You realize that trying to keep your distance from me will not lessen my affection for you. All efforts to save me from you will fail.”<br/><br/>I don’t know much about John Green but I’ve become one of his many fans and I will definitely be reading more books by this talented author.  He’s written a truthful story about what’s it’s like to have a terminal illness and how it impacts those around you.  While this is a tough book to read for many different reasons, it’s a story that must be read and one you won’t regret.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">There is always that one book you want to read, but leave it at the end of your TBR for many reasons. Whether it be that everybody and the mother is telling me I have to read it, or it's a book that just happens gather enough followers that it ends up showing up on every blog that you check. Hyped books can go one of two ways, you can either kick yourself for putting it off for so long, or it would somehow feel like a let down.<br/><br/>We meet Hazel Grace, a sixteen-year-old with terminal thyroid cancer. Her mother thinks she's having an episode with depression, so her doctors suggest going to group therapy. This is where we meet the charismatic Augustus Waters. We take a trip into this phenomenal book and jump into the lives of Hazel and Augustus. It's amazing how these set of characters know nothing in life is ever set in stone, yet we get to live right along with them.<br/><br/>I've put off reading TFiOS for over a year but not because I didn't want to read it, but because I just never really felt like I was in the mood to read it. In my mind, TFiOS was one of those books that you had to be somewhat depressed to read it. Honestly all I heard when somebody pitched it to me was,""You are going to bawl your eyes out!"" ""It's so sad, but I loved it!"" You can see why I put it off for so long. If you find yourself having the same thoughts as me, I can say you can cross them out without any worries. I found myself laughing so much more than I originally thought. I kept waiting to be hit by something else, but all I felt was absolute joy! Yes, there is heart wrenching moments, they essentially capture the essence of the entire book. Without them TFiOS wouldn't be complete. Hazel Grace and Augustus Waters will be characters I treasure forever.<br/><br/>BLog: [...]</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1G6CJA8B5WAZT?ASIN=014242417X	Can't Wait for the Movie!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I pretty much knew that this would be a somewhat sad read going into it, but based on the glowing reviews, I decided to join the masses who enjoyed The Fault in Our Stars so much.  The audio version is read by Kate Rudd, who did a fantastic job.<br/><br/>The story is narrated by 16 year-old, Hazel Grace Lancaster, who was diagnosed with stage IV, thyroid cancer at the age of 13. She's survived cancer thus far (3 years), but she has had to endure experimental drugs, and now carries a portable oxygen tank with her everywhere she goes.<br/><br/>Depressed (who wouldn't be?) and taken out of her regular school during her treatments, she is encouraged to try a support group for cancer kids.  It is there that she meets, the handsome 17 year-old Augustus Waters, and the two engage in various philosophical debates, and one thing leads to another -- before long becoming more than just friends. Hazel is obsessed with a book about cancer called, An Imperial Affliction and she encourages Augustus (Gus) to read it, so she can get his opinion on the ambiguous ending.<br/><br/>Without giving away too much about this novel,  I'll just say that this book is very much about being a teen and dealing with cancer, in addition to dealing with the other challenges healthy teens face.  It's about making the most out of the circumstances you've been forced to deal with.  It's about love, life and death, and the delivery is just so well done.<br/><br/>The story is full of beautiful passages. I ended up highlighting  these in my eBook edition after hearing some of them on audio.........................<br/><br/>""The marks humans leave are too often scars.""<br/><br/>""There will come a time when all of us are dead. All of us. There will come a time when there are no human beings remaining to remember that anyone ever existed or that our species ever did anything. There will be no one left to remember Aristotle or Cleopatra, let alone you. Everything that we did and built and wrote and thought and discovered will be forgotten and all of this will have been for naught. Maybe that time is coming soon and maybe it is millions of years away, but even if we survive the collapse of our sun, we will not survive forever. There was time before organisms experienced consciousness, and there will be time after. And if the inevitability of human oblivion worries you, I encourage you to ignore it. God knows that's what everyone else does.""<br/><br/> ""Sometimes, you read a book and it fills you with this weird evangelical zeal, and you become convinced that the shattered world will never be put back together unless and until all living humans read the book.""<br/><br/>""There are infinite numbers between 0 and 1. There's .1 and .12 and .112 and an infinite collection of others. Of course, there is a bigger infinite set of numbers between 0 and 2, or between 0 and a million. Some infinities are bigger than other infinities. A writer we used to like taught us that. There are days, many of them, when I resent the size of my unbounded set. I want more numbers than I'm likely to get, and God, I want more numbers for Augustus Waters than he got. But, Gus, my love, I cannot tell you how thankful I am for our little infinity. I wouldn't trade it for the world. You gave me a forever within the numbered days, and I'm grateful.""<br/><br/>""Almost everyone is obsessed with leaving a mark upon the world. Bequeathing a legacy. Outlasting death. We all want to be remembered. I do, too. That's what bothers me most, is being another<br/>unremembered casualty in the ancient and inglorious war against disease.""<br/>""So, I guess we are who we are for a lot of reasons. And maybe we'll never know most of them. But even if we don't have the power to choose where we come from, we can still choose where we go from there. We can still do things. And we can try to feel okay about them.""<br/><br/>The Fault in Our Stars is a story that you'll think about for a long while. It's such a touching story, one that reminds us once again, that --- life, indeed, is hard and often unfair.  I enjoyed this book a lot and can't wait to see the movie in 2014.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1I2DP5Q87NCKN?ASIN=014242417X	A book I didn't think I would like	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Where to start? Perhaps by the fact I thought I would hate this book with all my guts... It contains all the patterns of a book I would usually hate: cancer kids, struggling through life (which means the author kind of used this ""cheap escape route"" so he would get people to like the book, out of pity or such). I thought from the start one of the characters HAD to die (which is terrible in a book, because you're giving away one of the turning-points even before the reader finished the first chapter), unrealistic characters (it is very hard to find a teenager, let alone a bunch of them, with such an insightful perspective of life, though I could admit, may be one of the side-effects of dying) and I assumed I would find a desperate cry of hope of a life that clearly does not give a crap.<br/><br/>However I found myself quite surprised as I went through the book and slowly started to appreciate the effort of the author. Although his writing would certainly appeal most female teenagers, as well as the physical description of the main male character, I could see the deepness of each of them as they developed. I found that the author was treating the subjects of death and how people deal with cancer with a sarcasm I didn't think I would find. As if he was making fun of his own work. He is surely then, aware of how people deal with sicknesses and this type of books. How people deal with that kind of pity that isn't really there because sickness isn't happening to them.<br/><br/>So, I understood that it takes a lot of effort to write about such sickness with such insight. I thought it was easy to just spread that kind of shame around without much need of concentration. But this is a hard topic, it's hard to read about it, and it's hard to analyse it, let alone write about it.<br/><br/>If you're worried about the cheesiness and perhaps what I mentioned above, don't. I could see how some people might get annoyed with it, however I'm asking you to give this book a chance. Leave aside the most apparent things in the book and look for the deep things in it. Maybe most people will only see the most unessential parts of it, don't be one of them. These ""flaws"" are present in the most superficial way possible, but the thoughts and the point of views, the experiences and the conclusions the characters reach, are up to you level of understanding what this book means. It makes you think. It makes you understands certain things, it makes you fall in love with the characters, it raises awareness and it's definitely thought-provoking.<br/><br/>It leaves you with a tight knot tied up your throat, and to that I tell you, only the best books can give you that feeling.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R29D589S9D4ZE3?ASIN=014242417X	4 1/2 stars - review of audio version	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Everyone knows what this one's about since I was too chicken to bring myself to read it for months. It's about Hazel who is living with stage 4 thyroid cancer, is on oxygen and is just trying to live her life like anyone else  She meets Augustus at a cancer support group her mother forces her into attending. He is in remission from the cancer that claimed his limb and is attending group to support his buddy Isaac . Augustus is charming and beautiful and he invites Hazel to hang out with him. She does the smart thing and agrees. They have a lot in common besides cancer and begin a doomed but beautiful romance. But the book, of course, is so much more than a young adult romance.<br/><br/>I'm giving this one a 4 and 1/2 because I felt that some of the conversations didn't feel ""real"". They seemed super thought out and I could feel the author putting these words in their mouths and it pulled me out of their world here and there. I know several brilliant teens and they do not speak this way. And no they are not dying from cancer (thank God) but I don't believe that would change their essential way of relating to one another. They may write this way on Tumbler but their exchanges in real life are never as lyrical and thoughtful and insightful as those between Augustus and Hazel Grace. That's my only complaint and it's really a minor one. This book is as heartbreaking as all of the reviews promise. How could it not be? It's a book about kids living with cancer AND their parents are present (what a novelty in YA) adding another level of heartache to so many scenes. I knew it couldn't possibly end leaving me all warm and fuzzy because it is not that kind of book but it's also funny and smart with some gorgeous prose. I'm glad I finally broke down and listened to it but I'm never going to do it again. My heart couldn't take it.<br/><br/>Narration Notes: Kate Rudd narrates all of the characters in this novel. Her voice is youthful and full life and she does a wonderful job with Hazel as well Gus and their parents. . The only fail for me was her narration of Hazel's friend Candace who puts on a false British accident (in the book) that the narrator didn't translate very well. Candace just sounded like a dotty, snotty old biddy. Fortunately Candace has such a miniscule role in the book that it's hardly worth mentioning and real nitpickery. But that's what I do.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RWUWB8C8ZABR0?ASIN=014242417X	A very thoughtful story.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Oh yes, leave it to me to be one of those left behind who haven't read The Fault in Our Stars. I'm sorry. In my defense, I am not keen over reading realistic fiction. I feel like I've already had my fair share of reality that books should be otherwise more ethereal. But there are also times that I need a break from the fantasy world and so, here came the opportunity to read something different...<br/><br/>I'm going to keep this short since I'm sure a lot of you have gone through the tons of reviews that this book has received.<br/><br/>I was surprised about the normalcy I found in Hazel. For someone who was diagnosed with Stage IV thyroid cancer, she comes out as just any typical teenager (except for the oxygen tank and all, of course). She's witty and spunky. Cleary, not what I expected. Some would imagine that people with cancer or any form of life-threatening diseases are likely to be sad and depressed, but Augustus and Hazel show otherwise. And I'm glad about that.<br/><br/>It was a big mistake to read this book in public. You see, my fiancé's younger sister had a fashion show, which we promised to watch, the day I was halfway through with the reading The Fault in Our Stars. Being so engrossed in the story, I couldn't put it down. So while waiting for the show to start, I decided to read through. When I reached the heart wrenching scenes of Augustus, boy was I in an embarrassing state. I kept stopping and tearing my eyes off the book every few paragraphs just so I could keep the tears at bay. My fiancé just kept smirking and shaking his head every time he looked at me (the dude got so used to me crying over a book that he finds it normal... wow! Thanks a lot.)<br/><br/>The Fault in Our Stars is the very first John Green book that I have ever read. And I'm happy to say that I am definitely reading his other books after this one! It's no question why The Fault in Our Stars has captured the hearts of so many readers. The story may be simple but a very thoughtful one at that. [SPOILER AHEAD!] How ironic is it that the John Green ended the book the way Van Houten, the author of AIA (can't say what that is since it's a key element in the story), ended his own book in the story?</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2LP40JVF6OE2H?ASIN=014242417X	Beautifully Heartbreaking	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I often saw this book being read around campus at the time I decided to give it a try. I figured, I should see for myself if it's worthy of the hype. And now I can say, indeed it is.<br/><br/>The Fault in Our Stars is the first John Green book I've read so I had no idea how he writes. The story was different for me than the other books I've read with the same underlying theme - inevitable death. First, I liked Hazel's pragmatic view of life. She didn't want cancer to be her life but rather just a side effect of living. She tried to live normally as possible even if she needed to carry a small oxygen tank around in a cart because her lungs weren't strong enough to breathe on their own. I liked that aspect of the book because it's not, as the characters would call those types of books, a ""cancer book."" Secondly, I liked Augustus Waters a lot. He's one very likable character overall. He's light and witty - his personality fits very well with Hazel's. I enjoyed reading the book because their friendship just seemed so natural and it progressed beautifully for me. It's not so much as them trying to find consolation with each other because they're both cancer kids; it's them enjoying each other's company because they have the same perception of how they should live their life.<br/><br/>The only factor that caused me to rate this book a 4 out of 5 was the rather unrealistic way in which Hazel and, most importantly, Augustus articulated their thoughs. No teenager talks that way! It's not like I didn't enjoy it - I did on some level. Because I have a soft spot for guys who can speak the way Gus did (dorks are the bomb). But at the back of my mind I always felt like all their dialogues, if set in a different scenario, would otherwise sound too unrealistic. I know it's a work of fiction but I also want a way for me to be able to connect to the characters all throughout.  I mean I loved the characters but at some point in the story, their dialogues were too much.<br/><br/>Having said that, I'd still encourage you to read this book. John Green was able to draw my emotions in. Even if I didn't always enjoy the way the characters spoke, I still felt like their story's real.  The way they casually talked about death and afterlife with such acceptance and normality was heartwarming and heartbreaking at the same time. I laughed with them. I cried with them. Overall, it's an experience that you just have to go for.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1EB60UQ3QRSXY?ASIN=014242417X	A book on life, love, death, and leaving one's mark on the universe	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book seriously ripped my heart out of my chest and although I'm happy I finally read it to see what the hype was all about, there's no way I could knowingly put myself through that kind of heartache again over a book!<br/><br/>John Green is an amazing writing and The Fault in Our Stars is proof of that. He wrote about cancer like he was an actual doctor and after I read that he lived in Germany for a couple years and researched/corresponded with numerous doctors on the subject (to the point where even his made-up medicine was entirely believable and I wouldn't be surprised if people who got cancer actually asked their doctors about this drug, only to be told it doesn't exist), I had to wonder if writing this book was as cathartic of an experience for him as it was for those who read it.<br/><br/>Hazel and Augustus (Gus) are lovable, witty, thoughtful and sweet with one another in a way that isn't overly romantic.<br/><br/>""I'm in love with you and I'm not in the business of denying myself the simple pleasure of saying true things. I'm in love with you, and I know that love is jut a shout into the void, and that oblivion is inevitable and that we're all doomed and that there will come a day when all our labor has been returned to dust, and I know the sun will swallow the only earth we'll ever have, and I am in love with you.""<br/><br/>There were parts I was laughing, but mostly they were endearing and provoked a guarded smile out of me, because they came sandwiched between knot-in-throat inducing moments.<br/><br/>""I think forever is an incorrect concept,"" I answered.<br/><br/>He smirked. ""You're an incorrect concept.""<br/><br/>""I know. That's why I'm being taken out of the rotation.""<br/><br/>There was A LOT of parts that cut me straight to the bone and caused tears to fall out of my eyes. They couldn't be bothered with the slow descent down my face and went with the all-too-metaphorical free fall approach instead...<br/><br/>'""You know how I know you're a fighter? You called a ten a nine.""<br/><br/>But that wasn't quite right. I called it a nine because I was saving my ten. And here it was, the great and terrible ten, slamming me again and again as I lay still and alone in my bed staring at the ceiling, the waves tossing me against the rocks then pulling me back out to sea so they could launch me again into the jagged face of the cliff, leaving me floating faceup on the water, undrowned.'<br/><br/>This book is so philisophical, I could have imagined it being on the syllabus in college, bringing out class-length discussions on The Imperial Affliction alone, the book Hazel and Gus idolize in Fault, which is really just the adult writer in John Green contrasting with the younger, but still deeply-philisophical viewpoints of Hazel and Gus.<br/><br/>There is religious ambiguity in Fault. At first, I truly thought all the views on death were atheist, but I discovered there is double meaning in a lot of what John Green writes and he constructs his sentences purposefully and carefully for the reader to determine their own meaning at times. Other times, it is the admitted unknown of what happens next:<br/><br/>""I believe the universe wants to be noticed. I think the universe is improbably biased toward consciousness, that it rewards intelligence in part because the universe enjoys its elegance being observed. And who am I, living in the middle of history, to tell the universe that it - or my observation of it - is temporary?""<br/><br/>More importantly, The Fault in Our Stars is about being remembered and leaving a mark. Why are some remembered, while others are so easily forgotten after they die?<br/><br/>The book was turned to the page with Anne Frank's name, but what got me about it was the fact that right beneath her name there were four Aron Franks. Four. Four Aron Franks without museums, without historical markers, without anyone to mourn them.<br/><br/>Everything about this book was bittersweet. Hazel's brave reverence in the face of impending death, however vaguely ominous it may be, was so powerful that I thought, 'So this is how I would feel if I was going to die tomorrow?'<br/><br/>'I would probably never agin see the ocean from thirty thousand feet above, so far up that you can't make out the waves or any boats, so that the ocean is a great and endless monolith. I could imagine. I could remember it. But I couldn't see it again, and it occurred to me that the voracious ambition of humans is never sated by dreams coming true, because there is always the thought that everything might be done better and again.'<br/><br/>The Fault in Our Stars was excellently written. Having to see what all the 'fuss' was about, I bought the book and allowed it to collect dust on my shelf for six months before I gathered the courage to dive into it, knowing it would probably break my heart, which it did.<br/><br/>You don't have to like the book to admit that John Green is severely gifted at what he does, and it would be smart of you to read this cautiously. It's ridiculous to allow yourself the comforting state of denial you'll inevitably cling to as you read chapter after chapter, ignorantly assuming there's no way he'll go there, because he can and does. He knows where to hit you where it hurts. I kinda hate him for it, but can't help but admit that The Fault in Our Stars left it's mark on me, that's for sure.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R5MDWNKA3MNTW?ASIN=014242417X	Perfect in it's own little way	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">John Green established himself as a vlogger, thus he has garnered experience with criticism. He was blunt when he said this had nothing to do with anything that has happened to him and this brutal honesty flows onto the pages through Hazel Grace Lancaster and throughout the novel.<br/><br/>Hazel is a cancer patient to the point that the cancer has spread to her lungs and requires her to wear oxygen. What starts as a drag in having to attend a support group turns into a connection with the guy who becomes the love of her life: Augustus Waters. Augustus is in remission, but the disease left him with a prosthetic leg. Their condition does not hold either of them down from using the leftover wish Augustus had to visit Amsterdam in order to convince Peter van Houten, the author of Hazel's favorite book, to tell them what happens to the characters in the novel. While van Houten does not turn out to be what he seems, the connection between Hazel and Augustus becomes very lovable for this generation.<br/><br/>The reason this novel can be classified as ""perfect"" is because it does a perfect job capturing the attention of its age group, which I would say would most likely be 16-25. Aside from that, the characters are just so real. I am not just referring to Hazel and Augustus, but also their parents (Hazel's over-emotional and Augustus' witty) and Isaac, a blind friend of Augustus that comes off as being a cheeky foil.<br/><br/>This novel grabbed me to the point that I finished the last 150 pages in three hours and this is following high endorsements from just about everybody within the English department that told me and every other reader they had to grab this. Their positive emotions are well intended, so pick this up!</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3IYCICD7Z7S1Z?ASIN=014242417X	Lesson in Loving One Another	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I had heard how great John Green's The Fault in Our Stars was since it initially hit bookstore shelves. I had a stack of books to be read that was ridiculously tall so I kept pushing aside the idea of reading this book. Until a digital edition became available through our library.<br/><br/>I don't think at the time of checking it out I knew yet that it was young adult fiction, and I don't think I would have cared had I known. A good book is a good book. And I wasn't disappointed.<br/><br/>The story of Hazel Grace Lancaster, Augustus Waters, and their friend, Isaac, is brilliantly drawn. Creating sensitive young souls caring strongly for one another is not always easy. John Green has done a masterful job of creating his characters as well as the backdrop for what turns into an amazing love story.<br/><br/>Hazel and Augustus meet at a youth support group for cancer patients. The attraction is instantaneous. Smart enough to understand that cancer always looms over its victims, in remission or not, Hazel and Augustus, with the help of Isaac, strive to make the most of every moment.<br/><br/>Their conversations and dialogue seem overly mature for their chronological ages, but then confronting your immortality likely matures you faster. None of this detracts from the greatness of Green's writing. His use of language, scene, characterizations, and interaction between his characters is exquisite.<br/><br/>The Fault in Our Stars simultaneously made me laugh, cry, giggle, angry, sad, and overwhelmed by how much feeling Hazel and Augustus put into coping with their illnesses while loving each other immensely. Truly a love story I never expected in a YA novel. Kudos to John Green for showing us how to love one another.</span>"

I first read this book way back in 2012 not knowing what I was getting. And I would like to quote the upcoming movie tagline that this is one sick love story. Out of all of John Green’s books, this is the most romantic one, but this is also the most heart-wrenching. I was certainly unprepared for the pain of this poignant tale.<br/><br/>&lt;blockquote&gt;“I fell in love the way you fall asleep: slowly, and then all at once.”&lt;/blockquote&gt;<br/><br/>This is one of the books that gave me one of the worst hangovers leaving me undone yet moved. I shall now start to use the word “love” a lot. I love love love Hazel Grace and Augustus, and I ship them hard. I usually want the guy for myself, but Hazel and Gus deserve each other. I love how they brought up that they shouldn’t be defined by their illnesses. I love how they are such imperfect characters, yet managed to be perfect in this story and even called each other beautiful. I love their relationship with their family and their friend, Isaac. I love how Gus calls her Hazel Grace that makes it so endearing, and Hazel calls him Augustus. I love it all, and I’m not sorry. I love how intelligent and witty the writing and the characters are. I adore how this book can make one laugh, think, cry, and love, and how it stays with me to the point of almost quoting the book when thinking about love and life. This is truly a masterpiece that deserves to be read and read again and again and again.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R37LED7YBMXJB1?ASIN=014242417X	Once you pick up the book... there is no putting down	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This heart-filled novel discusses the everyday struggle of a young teen living with cancer and trying to fit into the real world. This book has opened my eyes as to how grateful I should be about the life I have. John Green was influenced to write this novel because one of his closest friends was diagnosed with cancer. John Green, who is one of my favorite authors, tells this story by making the reader feel as they themselves were going through what Hazel the main character was going through. This romantic fiction book shows that even though a person has cancer they can have a beautiful love story also. This book is one of those books that can be read over and over again and will never get old.<br/>Hazel Grace was not like the average teenager. Things suddenly changed for her when she met Augustus Walters and she then started to feel alive again. Hazel thought of herself as a grenade and she did not want to get to close to anyone or else she would blow up (die) and leave them to suffer. Hazel meets the boy of her dreams to only have to push him away for his own good.  The overall meaning is to enjoy the life you have. Life is short and you should spend it being happy and that is what Hazel realized.  I noticed throughout the novel as I got more in depth I grew to love Hazel more and more as a person. She seemed so nice and deserved the world but instead she had to live each day struggling to catch her breath. Towards the end of the book John Green throws something unexpected which changed everything. When I was reading the novel I could not believe what was occurring. I would highly recommend this book to anyone it is too good to even put into words. It is no shocker that this book has now been created into a film.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R15VJQX0ZFVAOK?ASIN=014242417X	Only ok.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I think this book was too built up in my expectations. It was readable and nice and short but I wouldn't have been too bothered if I lost it halfway through. It's just a teenage love story. Nothing particularly exciting, profound or surprising here.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R6GOXEO2PSU4H?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in our Perceptions	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Honestly, I am not a sucker for love stories and chick-flicks or romance novels, but I would recommend this book to anyone looking for an outstanding book to sit and read for hours.<br/><br/>John Green creates a beautiful love story in his novel, The Fault in Our Stars, which we readers can connect to our own lives. Many of the same issues that appear in the book are seen in teens’ love lives, minus the cancer that plagues both of the main characters, Hazel and Gus. The book had me hooked from the first minute, and I did not even watch the movie prior to reading this book.<br/>The love story in the novel lies between Hazel and Gus, and the lovers resemble teen relationships today; being there for each other when in need, watching movies together, traveling together, but both have cancer, and met at a cancer support group. The relationship between these two emphasizes the power of love and its ups and downs. In addition, the novel opens people’s eyes, or at least mine, about the harsh realities of cancer. On page 57, Gus states, “‘Pain demands to be felt,’” which can directly tie to his pain from cancer or pains other people suffer from the reality of their loved ones’ battles. I already knew much about these realities, for many people close to me have fought the gruesome battle, and my grandfather, also known as Papa, lost his battle last Christmas. My mom was always there for him and she was always beyond stressed out, and losing Papa was excruciatingly devastating for my whole family. After reading this, I connected the book’s sorrow to my family’s sorrow. Cancer has a way of taking its victims, but people should always remember their loved ones and cherish the moments shared. Definitely a must-read novel.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R10BJS14EY3WWF?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing read about life and death	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This was a book world that I found myself immersed into immediately. The voice in which Hazel tells the story felt extremely real to me. She was in some ways wise beyond her years, and yet she was completely adolescent, as she should be in others. Hazel is a sixteen-year-old girl who is miraculously still alive; she was diagnosed with stage IV thyroid cancer when she was thirteen. This isn’t to say that Hazel is cured of the disease, within the first chapter you are able to see the constant battle that she is in. I was completely invested in her story.<br/><br/>She attends a cancer support group, and that is where she meets Augustus Walters. I absolutely loved the dynamic between Hazel and Augustus from their first meeting. I loved that their characters were just not one or two-dimensional, and either was the story. There were many moments in The Fault in our Stars where I found myself laughing out loud, rolling my eyes in agitation with Van Houten, or crying over what the characters have to endure.<br/><br/>***<br/>“People will say it's sad that she leaves a lesser scar, that fewer remember her, that she was loved deeply but not widely. But it's not sad, Van Houten. It's triumphant. It's heroic. Isn't that the real heroism? Like the doctors say: First, do no harm.”<br/>***<br/><br/>Much of the young adult genre is filled with novels about young girls, fashion, boy-drama and can easily be construed as being shallow. This isn’t to say that there isn’t a place for lighter reads such as this in the young adult genre, but for me it is books like The Fault in Our Stars that motivates me to continue reading books in this genre. This was my first book by John Green, and I am definitely intrigued to read more.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2VEAOD236BSAX?ASIN=014242417X	A sad beautiful story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is a big ugly cry book.  I think this book has been around long enough that you know what is going to happen, at least you think you do.  It is a book about teens who have cancer, not a big leap to guess someone is going to die and it is going to be sad.  Okay you can prepare yourself for that right, wrong.<br/><br/>Hazel grace has been terminal since she was 13.  She knows she has cancer and she knows she is not going to survive it, the only question she really has is how long can she fight it.  Her parents want her to get out, fearing she is falling into depression so they force her to go to a teen cancer support group.  The only thing that really changes about this group is the flux of people, the sad thing is you usually only quit coming when you die.<br/><br/>The last thing Hazel expects to find in this group is a reason to look forward to the day.  Until one day Augustus shows up at the group to support a fellow friend.  Hazel is attracted to Gus immediately but what she never expected was the connection they share.  Gus lost his leg to bone cancer but she is a survivor, something Hazel will not be able to do with her cancer.  All Hazel wants to do is minimize the pain and sorrow she causes when she dies.  So she informs Gus that they can only be friends.  Gus's response, OKAY!<br/><br/>Gus knows he will fall for Hazel and doesn't care, he is an amazing guy.  I really cannot say enough about these characters and I don't want to give too much away in case you are one of the very few people who have not read this book.  All I will tell you is that you must read it.  Yes it is sad, and tragic, but it is also beautiful and it will touch your soul.  I will never forget these character's story.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3DZRKVTSYURDM?ASIN=014242417X	Dispirting, Vaguely Nefarious Novel Seeks Souls of Readers	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars, by author John Green, is a truly magnificent work of art and a redeeming effect of modern literature. While I am not ordinarily a fan of the Young Adult Fiction genre, this novel has found its place among my list of favourite books all-time. It tells the story of two young people both suffering from their own flavours of cancer and their journey in finding, loving, and subsequently losing each other. I laughed, I cried, I longed to punch lead male protagonist Augustus Waters square in the jaw on account of his pretension. (I don't care how smooth, romantic, or attractive he is claimed to be- were ""Gus"" real, he would not last five minutes in a room with me without suffering a fantastic black eye. Does the word ""sesquipedalian"" remind you of anyone?) I fell easily in love with the characters- who were young and human despite their profound wisdom- and cursed into the wind once finished, hoping my cries would reach this novel's sadistic author in the state of Indiana where he resides. Reading this book is an extremely masochistic activity which I would advise to no one without prescribing first a plethora of tissues and a pillow or two to bury one's face in.<br/>All jesting aside, The Fault in Our Stars has had a great- and I'll dare presume lasting- effect on me and my now-feeble mind. The way Hazel, Augustus, and Isaac viewed their world has changed the way I view my own, and, despite the fact that my heart has been ripped clean from my mortal chest, I am glad that I took the time (the time being, of course, one very long Monday night due to the fact I couldn't put the damn blue devil down) to read it.<br/><br/>Here's to you, John Green.<br/>Here's to you.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1TSK5TZTM01SL?ASIN=014242417X	"An ""everyone must read"" story"	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I've read a few other reviews, and I've found that there is a wide difference of opinion amongst readers.  I'm leaving a review, if for no other reason than the fact that I seem to be the only one who had never heard of John Green before picking up this novel.  The people who didn't care for this seem to be pitting it against his other works.  This is something that doesn't apply to me and my experience with this story.<br/><br/>I think the characters were terribly endearing, and also really realistic.  Not every teenager thinks and speaks the way that they do, but there are a fair number who do.  And, in my experience, kids with cancer or other such illnesses are much more mature than their peers, simply because they are dealing with things that no kid should even have to know about, and they don't get the opportunity to experience that sense of carefree invincibility that most of us do as children.  I don't know how anyone can read this and not fall in love with the main characters in this book.<br/><br/>What really made me a fan of this book was that it was such a fast read, and I rarely put it down.  It isn't like there are cliffhangers at every turn; that would be a case of ""I couldn't put it down.""  In reality, I just didn't want to.  And, it completely changed the way I look at people with terminal illness.  It isn't like I had previously thought badly of them or anything, I just really hadn't been inside their heads.  I don't know where the author gets his knowledge of such things, but it seemed very genuine.<br/><br/>When all is said and done, this is a very sad book, which seems weird since I spent lots of time smiling and laughing throughout.  I highly recommend this to everyone!</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2XTRJ9QO7M0TI?ASIN=014242417X	Not my cup of tea.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Also reviewed on my blog! http://sassyanddangerous.blogspot.mx/<br/><br/>Please do remember that this is MY PERSONAL opinion. If you can not handle a semi harsh opinion, then feel free to close this out. Also, originally, I gave this book no stars, but with Amazon, I have to give it a star.<br/><br/>At first, I thought, damn, what is all the hype about this book? Maybe I should read it too. Worst. Idea. Ever. The writing was so freaking cheesy I thought I’d cry, the romance was too fast paced, and the way the author portrayed his characters made me cringe and want to bash my head into the wall.<br/><br/>My opinion on the writing;<br/><br/>The writing was very dull, cheesy, and just didn't intrigue me at all. It was predictable, and it was slow and dull. It was like reading Twilight all over again, but instead of reading about an attention biatch and her freaky vampire boyfriend, I was reading about Bella's boring twin sister and a one legged pirate. I could go on and on..<br/><br/>My opinion on the characters;<br/><br/>Hazel: To me, I found her very, very dull. The way she interacted with her family, with Augustus and other people, it bothered me. She acted like she was a grown woman stuck in a sixteen year old's body. I wanted to smack her with the freaking book itself every time she opened her mouth. After the first twenty pages, I kept asking myself, “Is this what people are calling a good book?” Don’t even get me started on when they first met. What kind of person goes to someone’s house after they just met them? An IDIOT. Like hello, she even said so herself that he could be a murderer or a rapist! Plus, they are only teenagers. How can a sixteen year and a seventeen year old fall in love with each other in just one month?<br/><br/>The hostess’s eyes lit up as Augustus and I walked toward her. “Mr. and Mrs. Waters?” “I guess?” I said.<br/><br/>What?! All I could do was raise my eyebrows and wonder why the hell couldn’t a simple yes do? And why didn’t the hostess’s actually confirm it was them? Either you are Mr. and Mrs. Waters, or you're not.<br/><br/>Another thing that bothered me was when Hazel and Augustus were texting each other and when she continued to just say “Okay”, even after he playfully said to stop flirting with her, she continued. Everything about her bugged the frick out of me.<br/><br/>Augustus: I liked Augustus a lot more than I did Hazel. He seemed like a cool, funny guy. Although, he sometimes came off as dull and some of the things he said made me roll my eyes.<br/><br/>He’s seventeen years old (remember that, I’m going to bring it up in a minute) and he speaks like he’s a freaking Shakespeare. His metaphor, the way he talked about death and especially the way he told Hazel he loved her..it made me stop and wonder, what kind of girl would find him all “amazing and poetic?<br/><br/>“I'm in love with you,"" he said quietly.<br/>""Augustus,"" I said.<br/>""I am,"" he said. He was staring at me, and I could see the corners of his eyes crinkling. ""I'm in love with you, and I'm not in the business of denying myself the simple pleasure of saying true things. I'm in love with you, and I know that love is just a shout into the void, and that oblivion is inevitable, and that we're all doomed and that there will come a day when all our labor has been returned to dust, and I know the sun will swallow the only earth we'll ever have, and I am in love with you.”<br/><br/>To me, that is not romantic whatsoever. It felt like he wrote it down and rehearsed it in front of a mirror twenty times. I can barely go up to someone and say hello without stuttering and this guy already has a freaking speech in less than two seconds.<br/><br/>“There will come a time when all of us are dead. All of us. There will come a time when there are no human beings remaining to remember that anyone ever existed or that our species ever did anything. There will be no one left to remember Aristotle or Cleopatra, let alone you. Everything that we did and built and wrote and thought and discovered will be forgotten and all of this will have been for naught. Maybe that time is coming soon and maybe it is millions of years away, but even if we survive the collapse of our sun, we will not survive forever. There was time before organisms experienced consciousness, and there will be time after. And if the inevitability of human oblivion worries you, I encourage you to ignore it. God knows that’s what everyone else does.”<br/><br/>*Josh Hutcherson ""What?"" gif*<br/><br/>Yes, cancer is a terrible, sad disease, but this book, it's just not believable for me. And for people to cry over such a poorly written book, it's mind boggling. I'm hoping the movie will be better than the book.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RPBGQ094EYLDS?ASIN=014242417X	I really wanted to like this book.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I'll start this by saying that I don't review things often (almost never unless I can just leave a score and be on my way), but I had such high hopes for this book that instead continuing to wait in my library queue, I gave in and purchased this book for my kindle.<br/><br/>I'm a sap and I'll admit it.  Most of my bookshelf is filled with blood, guts, and all things Stephen King, but I love a good romance book (especially Nicholas Sparks style).  I went into this book expecting a good cry and hoping for a good, simple love story. Nothing about this book was simple or easy, but I will admit that I did get the cry session I expected.  Even though I knew the twist from the beginning of the book, I did cry for probably an hour reading it.  I love when a book can make me feel so emotional, but...<br/><br/>*SPOILER*<br/>I hated this book.  I was angry at the end.  I felt like the characters in the book, chasing something that I never quite felt like I got.  When I reach the last sentence, I was wondering where the ending was.  Really?  Hazel tried to find out the ending to the novel for the whole book and she never got it? Instead of the conclusion she craved, she recieved a eulogy?  Did she die soon after the ending or did she linger for a while thanks to her meds?  This might not bother most people.  After ruining the entire book for my husband (only with his encouragement), he had no problems with the ending.  It bothered me though.<br/><br/>Also, I'd like to know where in the world there are teenagers that talk like Hazel and Gus did in this book? Maybe it's because I'm a speed reader, but I like dialogue that flows easily and is believable.  I don't want to have to stop my reading to suss out the meaning behind what the character is saying.  I don't want to have to look up words or references while reading.  I read to escape, to get lost in a fantasy.  Once I allowed myself to just plow through the book and not worry so much about the bull, I was able to finish the book but I just hated how it ended.  I just didn't feel satisfied.  I was really looking forward to reading this book.  Maybe it's my fault for jumping into another trend without researching beyond the basic plot summaries listed on webpages.  I've watched what cancer does to a person firsthand, and I wanted to feel more of a connection to this book and these characters.<br/><br/>I was going to give this book a 3/5 simply because I did have an emotional reaction, but ultimately I think that was because of my experiences with a loved one with cancer and a lack of sleep while reading this book.  I gave it a 2 because 2= didn't like it, and I just didn't like it.</span>"
1.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R20UBHLWT6EDJ5?ASIN=014242417X	John Green at his Best - A Must Read Book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I agree with what some others have said - this is by far John Green's best work to date, and that's saying something.<br/>I read this in one sitting, was up half the night and went through a half a box of tissues. You WILL cry. And not just because this is a book about teenagers with cancer (it is) and not because John Green uses emotionally manipulative author tricks to pull the cry out of you (he doesn't - thank you John - 'cause I hate books that do that). You will cry because of the masterful way that John Green weaves a story full of love. You won't just cry when people get sick or when they talk about death (you will). But you'll maybe cry during tender parts where the love between Hazel and Augustus (Gus) is so real and so huge and so beautiful that you are filled with such appreciation for it that all you can do is cry. And you'll cry because Hazel understands the suffering of her parents and the love her small family has for each other.<br/>But you won't just cry. You'll laugh too, sometimes maybe even out loud. John is his usual super-smart witty self and the repartee between Hazel and Gus is funny, sometimes wicked and darkly funny. And then you throw Isaac into the mix and the three-way conversation is delicious.<br/>Many loved Green's Looking for Alaska. I did not love that book. I liked it fine, but honestly I felt that it tried too hard and was pretentious. That book made me a fan of John Green, but not a mega fan.<br/>The Fault in Our Stars tackles some of the same issues as Looking for Alaska but with so much more maturity and grace, that I can hardly believe it is by the same writer (except that it most certainly is - Green's unique voice is here and is certainly familiar to Green fans). But Green has had time to mature, both as a writer and a person, and I don't think you could ask for better treatment of such a tough and emotional subject as Green's tender hand in The Fault in Our Stars.<br/>Given that the book deals with death, and the inevitability that one feels from the start that a death will happen (it is a book about cancer after all), the book appropriately discusses the big questions: Is there a God? Is there more to us than just our bodies? I got the sense that John Green argued this theme with himself by way of three characters: Hazel, Gus and a cynical author Peter Van Houten. There's little to no attempt here on the part of the author to tell us what to think or provide some grand answer (though perhaps through Hazel's father's simple yet profound statements on the topic we get as close as we can to an answer). And to address a topic like this and not provide grand statements and ""answers"" takes a hand of restraint on the part of an author. I think this hand of restraint can only be exercised by an experienced author at the top of his game.<br/>My only fault with the whole book is that Hazel does not sound like a 16 year old girl - she sounds like John Green pretending to be a 16 year old girl. But just a few pages in, you'll forget that she sounds like John Green because you're so invested in her and Gus and the other characters that you'll forgive this one little fault.<br/>If I could give more than five stars I would. This is a knock out of the park homerun of a book.<br/>Thank you John Green for writing it.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RW2JSAER0VU7G?ASIN=014242417X	Let Down	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I'm biased when it comes to stories like this. I don't have cancer, but I do have an illness that will one day kill me. I can understand the emotions Green wrote about better than a lot of people.<br/><br/>However, I just couldn't connect with this book. The two main characters seemed like two halves of the same coin. Yes, teens can have deep, thoughtful discussions about life and death and what it all means. But they don't always use big words and extreme metaphors to do it. They don't sound like 30 year old trapped in teen bodies. I get that these are Green's characters and he can write them how he wants. But I think I would have liked reading these teen's words if they spoke like teens. You can have the same meaningful talks without coming across as slightly pretentious.<br/><br/>I'll admit to not crying once during this book. I didn't even tear up. Maybe that makes me heartless, but there was just something missing and I think it goes back to how the characters thought and talked. They weren't teens in my head. It wasn't a teen romance centered on teens with cancer facing death. Facing a terminal illness makes you grow up a lot faster than anyone else, it's true. But it still doesn't make you an adult. It makes you a teen with some of the worst cards life can deal.<br/><br/>The whole plot around Van Houten just felt unrealistic and forced. This book could have been just as thought provoking without the trip to Amsterdam. You don't need a huge trip to someplace special to have the same impact on readers.<br/><br/>For all the hype that surrounded this book, I felt extremely let down. It wasn't what I thought it would be and left me feeling a little more annoyed than sad.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RBUS5X89S4CKQ?ASIN=014242417X	The Farts In Our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Disclaimer: I will not be censored for voicing my opinion. Also - this is the review you WISH you'd written...<br/><br/>I started this book off not with five stars, as I do for all others, but with three. The narrator is a sixteen year old nitwit with so little reverence for either life or death that one quickly loses hope for this novel's redemption. Hazel is so mean-spirited and devoid of compassion that one wonders how this novel ever became a bestseller, let alone a movie.<br/>So about the character of Hazel - she mentions Aristotle and Cleopatra as if she knows a thing about either one, let alone any of the philosophies she spits out, and the whole novel comes off as merely a cancer-laden Twilight. She wonders why no one eats curry for breakfast. To her I would say, ""There IS a place where people eat curry for breakfast. That place is called India. Now shut up.""<br/>Augustus says of Hazel, ""She is funny without ever being mean."" What a lie! She attacks everyone around her.<br/><br/>The novel does have a saving grace, however, in the character of Peter Van Houten, who explains to Hazel what it is to be a writer, and that not all questions can be answered in absolutes. However, Hazel treats the man horribly, and I feel like that is an understatement.<br/><br/>John Green is obviously a very smart and talented writer. But alas! His skills are utterly wasted on teenage dialogue-filth-ridden dramas. And to him, I must also ask, ""Is this the price of fame - to write things like this? If it is, then good for you. But as for me, I will have no part of it.""<br/><br/>P.S. ""Unhungry"" is not a word that any self-respecting author should be using.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3CHONU53NCF2D?ASIN=014242417X	Unexpectedly funny	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I loved this book. And that sorta surprised me. A friend recommended it to me and she just raved about it. She said how it was so good and that I'd laugh and that I'd cry ... I told her to stop there because I'm not all about crying when I read. I love a good story but I don't usually want tears to go along with it if I can help it. I asked her what it was about and she said ""Well it's about these kids with cancer. But it's really funny!"" To which I responded ""That doesn't sound enjoyable at all!"" Ok, so fast forward a couple of months and I decided to check it out anyway. I was drawn in right away because it was so well written. I just really enjoyed the dialogue of the characters. It WAS funny. Hazel's narration and thought process was funny. Augustus was written to be funny. So, yeah, it was funny. But cancer is involved so ultimately it has its sad moments, too. I didn't give this book the full five stars simply because I felt it ended too soon. I don't want to spoil for those who haven't read, so I'll just say at a certain point in the book it all seems to move ahead super fast and ends quickly. With the characters written well and the dialogue flowing the way it did, there was plenty of room to just let the story tell itself a little bit more. It's a fairly short book so adding some pages wouldn't have hurt it at all. I'd still highly recommend it though. You can knock it out in a couple of days. And then you can say you read the book when the movie hits next year. Oh and I'm not sure that it matters, but I actually just checked this book out at my local library. Then I purchased the Kindle edition for $3.99 (pretty fair price - it was $9 or so when my friend purchased it.)</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2BS2VHW0Y346B?ASIN=014242417X	Light hearted yet serious story. Excellent	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">A deeply emotional while funny story of teenage terminal cancer patients.<br/>The book centers around Hazel, who is forced to walk around with an oxygen tank and who knows that she has a limited time. Another patient, Gus, has lost a leg, and his cancer is in remission, while he also has an 80% chance that he'll beat it.<br/>Gus was a natural athlete and walks with a slight limp. Always joking, he's the type of person that you want to be around. He likes Hazel who doesn't want him to be burdened with someone who's going to die. Especially because she knows that his former girlfriend was also a cancer patient who passed away. Little by little they get to know each other, and share their likes, all the while making jokes between themselves and others about cancer and death.<br/>Hazel loves a certain book, which was the only book written by an author who now lives in Amsterdam. The book ended abruptly and it was a philosophical book. She gets Gus to read it and Hazel only wants to be able to go to Amsterdam to meet the author and ask him what happened to the characters.<br/>Through a make a wish type of organization, she had used her wish to go to Disney World, but Gus tells her that he's using his wish for the two of them to go to Amsterdam to meet the author.<br/>The journey of what they go through on a daily basis, the experience of seeing friends both passing away or losing limbs, and not knowing how much time is left,is wrenching, but the light hearted attitude of these teenagers is uplifting. The parents of these children also go through pressures and sometimes, the parents don't make it as a couple themselves.<br/>Very good and the subject is presented extremely well.</span>"

The day she puts up her best efforts to try to get out of going changes her life forever.<br/><br/>Hazel was diagnosed at the age of thirteen with cancer. Now, at the age of sixteen she has become a realist. When she first sees Augustus Waters she finds him attractive. However, she is intrigued by his words as he shares his story.<br/><br/>Augustus Waters lost his leg to cancer and uses a prosthetic but he did not lose his spirit in the process.<br/><br/>Augustus catches Hazel off guard when he compliments her and asks her to come over to his place to watch a film. He manages to convince her and not scare her away with his driving skills or lack there of.<br/><br/>The two connect over her favorite book An Imperial Affliction but the book ends abruptly leaving the reader with many unanswered questions. Augustus is determined to do whatever he can to get Hazel the answers she seeks. Even, if it means the two traveling to Amsterdam to get them.<br/><br/>Life is a gift that can be taken at any moment. Make every moment count. In the end we all will be someones memory.<br/><br/>I LOVED this book! I was pleasantly surprised at how  close the film adaption is to the book! Of course there were a few differences  off and on. However, I have not seen a film adaption so closely in-sync with the book in a VERY long time. WARNING read with a box of tissues near by.

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R25IZK8NNXCPKE?ASIN=014242417X	Such a beautiful story!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault In Our Stars by John Green. This book is about, as we all know, a teenager named Hazel Grace, who at a young age was diagnosed with cancer. Her mom continued trying to convince her on going to a support group at a church, to socialize more,  who there she met a young boy named Augustus Waters. Since the first day a connection was made within them and they grew closer together as time went by. The more they spend time together, the stronger their feelings became. Augustus knew that he was in love with Hazel since they day he got to know her and he never doubted that love, and although Hazel knew she felt the same, she wouldn't admit it because she was too scared to hurt him, due to her diagnosis. They went threw many challenges together, their lives are completely rewritten, and from there on, nothing's ever the same.<br/>Even though I had already seen the movie before reading this book, I thought it'll be nice to get to see the story at a different point of view. I chose this book because John Green is one of my favorite authors and I have been reading every single one of his books lately. I really enjoyed this book and I know that this is one of the books I would come back and forth to it. I loved how there's a little bit of everything, happiness, sadness,  ect ect.<br/>Honestly, I would say that my favorite part would be the time when Hazel and Augustus met. The reason to that would be because they just clicked, they trusted each other since day one and from there on they never got apart. Whoever has read this would agree with me. The Fault in our Stars is such a beautiful story and I would recommend this to everyone because I know they would enjoy it!</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2V29LDU8YD8R2?ASIN=014242417X	This is a 5+++ (and more) must read book for EVERYONE ages pre-teen and up.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is so well written and a so easy to read, the words truly flow. Any reader that reads the first chapter will fall in love with the main characters,although, I was caught off guard where the book took me as I read it. I could not help but laugh at some of the unlikely antics these lovable characters pull  off without any hint from the author, John Green, that these antics were  sending a very strong message, to be understood at the conclusion of the book. This book should be available in middle schools on up as a mandatory read. Although, the title may be misleading, it is not a chic flick in the form one would expect, nor is it about anything scientific. This story could happen to anyone and the storyline sends so many messages to all ages, over and over in every single chapter. Although, I cried big tears, I also laughed and even felt some angry emotions as I read the book. The ending did suprise me, although I felt the book would end  with sadness. I was so shocked at how the book did end. I felt a true loss and after reading the first time, I had to start over, and read the book a second time.<br/>This book is fiction, it is so well written with  a great storyline, This scenerio  could happen to anyone at any age anytime. I wanted a happier ending, there are so many messages throughout the book . A few of the messages are very spelled out , with so many ways to take them,but in the same story, there are many unwritten messages as well, that will make one think,accept and<br/>maybe even make you look differently at how one looks at life in general. The title actually does not tell the story, but it certainly describes the story in every single chapter.</span>"

I finished it in one and a half days, because sadly I cannot sit all day in my blanket cocoon reading this gift to the world. I love  this book with a burning passion.<br/><br/>  So it starts out with Hazel Grace Lancaster, a sixteen-year-old girl who's lungs had a panic attack and can't bring themselves to work on their own because they don't know how to keep their shit together.<br/><br/>  So she goes to a support group for people like her (suffering from cancer but 'fighting strongly the entire way through'), because her mother thinks she's depressed and needs to get out of the house more.<br/>  During one of the group's meetings in the Literal Heart of Jesus, she notices the angel himself, Augustus Waters. Augustus Waters, the boy who lets the thing that can kill you sit on his lips but doesn't let it kill him. Hazel falls in love with him like you fall asleep. Slowly, then all at once. I'm sorry, I'm using a lot of stuff from the book but that's basically me showing that I do in fact love the book with every piece of my Literal heart.<br/><br/>But then the most devastating thing happens. HE DIES DIES HE DIES OKAY. I was sobbing when I was reading all of his heartbreaking suffering that led up to my breaking point. But I will confess that I highlighted the entire letter that he wrote for Hazel. I have nothing more to say, I have let about twenty per cent of my emotions flow out, if I let myself write out everything that I want to write I my end up writing a novel of my own.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RW06RYAMXY3BF?ASIN=014242417X	Despised it	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I am going to write this quickly before my indignation subsides.<br/><br/>Hazel`s consistent theme throughout the book was, the fact that you have a horrible disease doesn't obligate you to seek immortality or achieve some heroic act. The simple fact that a book was written about her, from her perspective, negates her whole point. I don't think she would be very happy being obligated to provide hope for people that don`t have any.<br/><br/>The ending that parallels Von Houten`s ending was predictable and irritating.The point - to slam home the fact that the dead don't know how the rest of the story ends and we should feel the finality that they do.<br/><br/>Augustus would be mortified (his words) if he knew that instead of a grand historic act we were forced to witness his indignities.<br/><br/>Guess what? Survivors don't get some lightning flash of inspiration that tells us we were saved because; we could cure cancer, save some baby from choking, invent something that negates global warming, world peace. Some times they just continue on living an ordinary life.<br/><br/>If Augustus survived and read all of his indignities paraded before a grasping public he would be pissed and probably smash a few trophies. No one. NO ONE wants to read in print the ramifications of any illness, accident, and all that comes with it. First hand experience an email with updates about me and the word anus used more than once.<br/><br/>The entire book I felt like I was invading their privacy and reading about someone who would not have wanted a book written about her.<br/><br/>If you like to cry and feel helpless go ahead and read this. Spoiler Alert: If you are going through a similar struggle and maybe a teenage virgin go ahead and read it and give yourself hope that you too can lose your virginity to the love of your life before you get too sick.<br/><br/>It's time to go take more pain meds and possibly talk to the doc about upping my ant depression meds. And before you comment berating me or agreeing, I seriously do not care so save yourself the time.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3REK6874QD7EC?ASIN=014242417X	A Literary Gem	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This beautiful, heart-tugging, mind stretching Young Adult novel centers hauntingly around cancer-stricken students, especially focusing on Hazel Grace and her cancerous lungs and the Augustus (Gus) who befriends her.  They meet at a cancer anonymous center in an old church, where Gus, who has beaten cancer but lost a leg in the process, mesmerizes Hazel who slowly falls in  love with him.  Their parents are very supportive.  Hazel has read a certain book numerous times that ends abruptly without a conclusion.  She and her male friend make use of his  Cancer Wish to make a trip to thepicturesque Netherlands, with her mother, to visit the reclusive author to find out what happened to the characters in the book after the alleged death of a child with cancer.  There are numerous thoughts about the meaning of life, youth angst, and generous quotes from various famous authors.  The novel is both sad and emotion-wrenching but also inspiring through the unquenchable spirits of the characters, whom the author John Green has fleshed out well..  Have some tissue handy--you who are prone to tears! I guarantee that the reader will find it almost impossible to lay the novel aside once he or she starts reading it. I was so impressed by the fate of the characters that I immediately ordered two more of John  Green's works:  Looking for Alaska and Paper Towns, the latter a popular mystery.  All three titles are Kindle e-reader versions.  A final note: Shailene Woodley and Ansel Elgort, the brother and sister Tris and Caleb in the book and film Divergent, by Veronica Roth, co-star in the film version of The Fault in Our Stars that is due out in theaters later this year.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R246NWMZCEWPGG?ASIN=014242417X	Absolutely Perfect (with a side of tears, lots and lots and lots of tears)	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">(Long review- So I'll save time by saying this is one of my all time favorite books)<br/><br/>So I bought this book earlier this year, along with 8 or 9 others (I had all of spring break to read them and I wasn't going to waste any time). Unfortunately, this book, being one of the first that I purchased, was at the bottom of my stack and I wasn't able to read it. Skip forward a few months and I noticed it on my Kindle, still sitting there, unread and silently screaming to be read. Me, being me, picked it up at 9:30 that night, prepared to read a few chapters, and then go to sleep. Lo-and-behold, 1:30 rolled around and I was caught. Physically my eyes couldn't strain open anymore, but mentally I was begging my eyes to remain open, just for a minute longer. Unfortunately, my eyes and I don't agree on these types of things and I was forced to go to sleep... However, the moment I awoke I was reading again. I finished the book at around 9am. Tears rolling down my face as I slowly turned the pages. My family all wondering what could have possibly happened to elicit a response of this nature.<br/><br/>As far as the book goes? I couldn't recommend it enough. It takes a topic that most of us are familiar enough (we may not know someone that has a terminal illness, but we can empathize, to a degree) with, and brings it around to a whole new level. Before this book, I didn't really think about death, it just wasn't something that I ever thought I would worry about. This book, however, changed that opinion real fast and in-a-hurry. Bravo John Green, you did something that I didn't know was possible, you put a new book at the top of my permanent reading list!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2QR6F0V3P7HAH?ASIN=014242417X	Absolutely Stunning	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read this book at first because many of my friends urged me to do so. But after reading the first couple pages I really got into it. And I loved every second of it. This was an amazing book, and I hope you find it as I found it: perfect.</span>"

Green 's selective choice of poetry  made me literally speechless. The plot left me begging for more, and I am not ashamed to say that I cried several times throughout. Cliche perfection.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2BA9TO2ADGWT4?ASIN=014242417X	Uhhhh, this book....	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Where do I begin... **spoilers**<br/><br/>I don't understand why millions of people (maybe they are mostly teenagers) like this book. I have never heard a sixteen year old or seventeen year old talk the way the two main characters do. Very unrealistic. There were a lot of section in the book I thought were drawn out and could have been shortened. Like when Hazel goes shoe shopping, or the long talk with the author. It reminded me of the architects speech in The Matrix. The ending was very predictable and I wasn't shocked at the end, but at the same time was wondering if there would be a twist to make me like the book more, but it never came. I didn't like how the death of Gus was just thrown out there. I would have thought that if the 2 characters were that in love with each other that Hazel would have been there with him when he died. I didn't like Gus sending the pages to the author. I wanted him to hide them for Hazel to find. I did like the breaks in the chapters and it was a quick read for sure.<br/><br/>Does John Green write beautifully? Yes. One of the saving graces of this book, but besides that, I don't see the buzz. I probably won't be reading any more of his books. I wanted to see what the hype was about this book, and I was disappointed. I hope teenagers that read is book realize that love doesn't happen like that. It's not insta-love. Especially at that age. The whole pre-sex part was creepy and uncomfortable. The kissing in the Ann Frank museum I found weird and disrespectful.<br/><br/>The book didn't make me cry (maybe I'm cold hearted), and I couldn't relate to the characters, cancer or not. Maybe if the characters were older I might have liked it more, but didn't.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1WVGA8JOI6IK6?ASIN=014242417X	Heartbreakingly beautiful novel!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Wow! It is almost 4 in the morning and I barely finished reading this masterpiece! I avoided reading this book for a very long time because I don't typically like reading sad books because, well, they make me sad. However, I just couldn't resist after so many great reviews and I'm forever grateful that I listened.<br/><br/>The Fault in Our Stars is incredibly well-written. I laughed, I cried, I swooned, I cried and cried some more. I also feel as if I learned new things about myself and can now view certain situations from a different perspective than I would have prior to reading this book.<br/><br/>As someone who witnessed my mom suffer from cancer and knowing she only had 6 months to live, I can completely relate to the families of these cancer patients. It's the most difficult experience I've ever endured in my life and having to be strong and put on a brave face for the one you love takes a tremendous amount of strength. Especially when you see them looking worse and worse everyday. My mom was one of the lucky ones who survived past the 6 months and is now 12 years in remission, but she came incredibly close. So close that it never ceases to amaze me how she's still alive.<br/><br/>TFIOS had me reliving everything but with a different mindset. Augustus Waters is the most profound and mesmerizing character I've ever come across. His words have seared their way into my memory and I will be taking his words of wisdom along with me everywhere I go. No longer will I complain of the little unimportant things, because there are so many things to be grateful for. As Augustus said, ""I'm on a roller coaster that only goes up, my friend.""</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RCFJA1KMRN7E5?ASIN=014242417X	Wow. Just Wow.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I was so hesitant to read this book, especially after watching the movie trailer because I knew tears would be inevitable. And man, were there tears! In fact they haven't stopped. Not because of the sadness of the plot but because of the sheer beauty and brilliance that is John Green's work. I am so happy I read it, even though it caused a slew of emotions. Honestly, that is what makes it an excellent book. Despite how much I read, very few books get to me like this one did and in fact the only other that brought unstoppable tears was ""13 Reasons Why"".<br/><br/>I normally don't quote books but this is too good not to:<br/><br/>""Sure, I fear earthly oblivion. But, I mean, not to sound like my parents, but I believe humans have souls, and I believe in the conservation of souls. The oblivion fear is something else, fear that I won't be able to give anything in exchange for my life. If you don't live a life in service of a greater good, you've gotta at least die a death in service of a greater good, you know? And I fear that I won't get either a life or a death that means anything."" ~Augustus Waters, The Fault in Our Stars<br/><br/>In a nutshell, that is Augustus (aka Gus) Waters- his incredible strength and character and how he was with Hazel, and even with Isaac and that darn Peter- well fictional character or not- the world needs more Augustus's in it. Heck, the world needs more Hazels in it too, just maybe with less suffering but then again their struggles and battles made them who they are.<br/><br/>Everyone needs to read this book. I can only hope that the movie comes close, though the clips I have seen quoted the lines almost exactly.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/REJNSB981C4Q0?ASIN=014242417X	Great book, touching story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I bought this book on my Kindle due to the large number of positive reviews, even though I wasn't a big fan of John Green's book Looking for Alaska. I'm glad I gave it a chance, because this book was great. The characters were well-developed, and Green nailed the way teenagers talk; I also really appreciated the depth of Hazel and Gus' relationship. It contained none of the completely over-the-top nonsense in some YA books that just makes you roll your eyes. These kids had some perspective, and the result is a beautiful tale about friendship and love.<br/><br/>Plus, this book made me cry: any book that makes me cry gets at LEAST 4 stars. I am NOT usually a crier.<br/><br/>The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because of some unrealistic aspects of Hazel's medical situation; I know most people don't care and that the author is free to bend reality as he sees fit considering this is a work of fiction, but I'm a pediatric ICU nurse so it kinda bothered me. There's a lot more that you can do for the lung issues she was having besides just BiPAP at night and chest tubes, but the most eyebrow-raising thing to me was that she walks around on home oxygen yet doesn't have a pulse oximeter at home to tell her what her oxygen level is. Just not realistic; unlikely that she'd be walking around under-oxygenated for weeks in real life without knowing it. That being said, I understand this is a work of fiction and such details don't matter to most people, so take my 1-star deduction with a grain of salt unless you're a medical person as well.<br/><br/>Overall this book was very good. Made me much more open to reading John Green books in the future!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R10CDF1607V80M?ASIN=014242417X	Why so anxious to grow our kids up?	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I bought this book for my 13 year old daughter to read over the summer...I'm reading it too. Half way through the book, I find it to be a pleasant read...it's well written and the topic is profound, but I do think the the philisophical deepness of the two main characters is a bit too unrealistic for people of their age. But that doesn't bother me. What bothers me is this ever growing desire to expose our young people to sexuality through media. Our kids don't need to be nudged and encouraged into sex and sexual thoughts...nature will take care of that, and I guess I don't appreciate the author's need to have his characters discuss topics such as ""riding one-legged ponies all the way around the corral"" or whether or not the main character should consider the virtues of being ""on top"". The story would be great, emotional and touching without the sexual content...in fact as I understand it, the real life character never had sex or sexual contact with her real life male counterpart (she needed an oxygen tank to BREATH for crying out loud), yet the author felt it necessary to include sex in his telling of the story. I feel like the authors of these books (The Hunger Games, Divergent, TFIOS, etc) for young adults must all be sexually repressed, and find it convenient to satisfy their sexual needs vicariously through literature. I'd like to say to them...if you're not getting any at home then get your rocks off by writing 60 Shades of Blue for adults and leave our children out of your literary booty calls. Our young people will find their way to sex naturally, and hopefully through the council of their parents. We don't need your help.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3VOM8QREKDK87?ASIN=014242417X	Heartbreakingly Beautiful!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I’m not even sure what I can say about this book that hasn’t been said already. It’s a beautiful story that will rip you apart. It’s painful and that pain demands to be felt. But within the pain there is beauty and first love and just a truly wonderful story. Again, these are all things that have been said before countless times, but they are worth repeating.<br/><br/>Augustus and Hazel’s relationship is beautiful. There is no other way to describe it. These two were clearly made for each other. Not even referencing the cancer, but just in their personalities. They both spoke their own language that a lot of other people didn’t even come close to understanding. Their relationship is easily one of my favorites ever.<br/><br/>What I also loved about this book is the humor. In spite of the terrible situation it was very funny. I laughed out loud on numerous occasions. The banter between Hazel and Augustus is priceless and hysterical and I loved every single second of it. But at the same time it is a serious book and the horrible reality of cancer isn’t glossed over. John Green shows the ugly side of it and doesn’t bypass the uglier sides of it. It is a love story at its center but it is a love story that deals with pain and loss. The love doesn’t fix everything but it is a beacon of light within a lot of darkness.<br/><br/>There are a lot of other things I could say about this book but I really don’t even know where to begin. It is wonderful and heartbreaking… oh my God is it heartbreaking! It tore me apart! It makes you feel and it makes you hurt, but it also makes you smile and laugh. It is an astounding and heartbreakingly beautiful read!</span>"

The book has such a good story line, along with all of the other books John Green has written. He is such an amazing writer and his works show it. But, as much as I cried during the movie, I cried even harder when I read the book.<br/><br/>In this book, Hazel Grace is a teenage cancer patient and her mother makes her go to a Cancer Kid Support Group. While she was there, she met Augustus Waters, another cancer patient that Hazel falls in love with. When Hazel and Augustus got invited to come to Amsterdam, Hazel received some very bad news. Augustus’s cancer had returned. When they returned home, Augustus’s cancer had gotten worse, so Augustus decided to have a prefuneral so that he could hear Hazel’s, and his best friend Isaac’s speech. Whenever Augustus dies, Hazel is heartbroken, but she will always love him.<br/><br/>Like I said, this is one of my favorite books and it has a very good message. It brilliantly explores the funny, thrilling, and tragic business of being alive and in love.<br/><br/>In conclusion, overall this book is a very good book for a teenager looking for a good book. I think in some ways every teenager can relate to this book whether it is being in love, or going through problems like Hazel and Augustus. I highly recommend this book to any teenager or young adult. In fact, I recommend this book to any age. I think anyone would like this book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R156UVX8W1ELK0?ASIN=014242417X	Not worth all the hype	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars, by John Green is his most successful book by far, having a movie made and being a New York Times bestseller as well. Even with all the hype this book got I would rather die than read this book a second time.<br/> The book starts off with the main character being introduced, her name being Hazel Grace Lancaster. She has stage IV thyroid cancer and is only hanging on as a phalanxifor miracle patient and blah blah blah, that sentence is literally how boring the rest of this book is.<br/> The biggest flaw in this book is the characters, the author’s need to use more sophisticated and intricate language gets in the way of the realism of the characters. I will not and will never believe that a seventeen year old child with cancer will words like “bereft” or “cohort” or “contemporaneity” in everyday language. Like at some times the characters are immature shouting things like “HUMP THE MOIST CAVE WALL” but at other times they talk about the concept of some infinities being vastly larger than others. The errors in character continuity are very obvious here.<br/> The author also fails to build tension, everything seems to happen too fast, like if the author was writing and then lost his train of thought and just moved on to the next topic without ending the current one; which makes the entire plot boring and gave it the ability to lose your attention.<br/>In the end I wouldn’t recommend this book, I don’t think you should invest time or money to read this book, if you really want to know what happened just watch the movie because the actors could probably use more believable language than the author can for teenagers.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R4Y6YU0YU3FYI?ASIN=014242417X	she begins to fall in love with him	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The book, The Fault in Our Stars, written by John Green is a young adult romance novel about the struggles and adventures of two teens with cancer. The story is about a girl named Hazel, who has cancer which affects her lungs. Her parents force her to go to cancer support group because they think she can make friends there because she doesn't have very many friends and spends most of her time re-reading a book. At support group, she meets a boy who used to have cancer named Augustus Waters. Over the course of time, she begins to fall in love with him. Augustus uses his wish to take Hazel to Amsterdam because she used her wish on Disneyworld. Augustus knew he was going to die because his cancer had came back and he wanted to spend his last months with Hazel, so he used his wish to take a trip with her. A few weeks later, after returning home, Augustus had a relapse that put him in the hospital. Hazel tried to spend every waking moment with him and one night she got a phone call saying he had passed away. Hazel was heartbroken because she had thought she was going to be the one to die, but instead, Augustus did. This book was very emotional for me because around seven years ago, my friend had leukemia and she passed away. The Fault in Our Stars shows how hard it is to lose someone you really care about, and I could relate to how Hazel felt when Augustus died. I would recommend this because if you're looking for a book that touches your heart and keeps you interested, this book by John Green is the right book for you. It's hard to put this book down because of all the events taking place and your emotional involvement with the characters.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1CPTHZRN2V5GU?ASIN=014242417X	John Green at his best.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This review isn't going to contain a summary of the book, because of a vlogbrothers requesting there be no spoilers about the book itself. Instead, I will focus more so on the quality of him as an author, versus this book's plot itself. However, let me say that this is John Green at his best. It has extreme highs, and new levels of low, and it catches every emotion in between.<br/><br/>The power of John Green's writing isn't that he writes ""about"" teenagers, but rather ""for"" teenagers. Many authors who write about teenagers often times glorify the young adult life, with the over done romantics and an endless amount of everyone-gets-what-they-want. They do not catch real life, instead of including the bumps and scratched caused by fighting with parents, or swearing, or just doing stupid teenagery-type things, they smooth them over and play up the love between character A and character B.  John Green, on the other hand, writes for teenagers, and this is why I have so much respect for him as an author. In all of his books, he captures what teenagers really do in most of his books, silly half-baked plans that somehow manage to work, the fact that we do swear, and the occasional sexual experience. The only way I can describe his writing style is by saying it is honest. He captures the things that we sometimes miss, like crustless sandwiches, the guilty pleasure of reality TV shows, or those moments in time that stretch on for an infinity in our minds (even if they only happened for a minute or two in real life). A comparison that I can think of to explain my opinion better, is that many authors write similar to this: ""I got this cool scar by wrestling with an Alligator"", which highlights and two things: 1. I have a cool scar and 2. I wrestled an Alligator. Instead, John Green's style is much more: ""I got this scar by wrestling with an Alligator, I cried some, and it hurt a lot, and there was a ton of blood, and I lost a pinky... Man I miss my pinky.""<br/><br/>In addition to John Green's ability to capture the little details that are often times forgotten in the grander schemes, he also is an amazing crafter of stories. He layers and blends in foreshadowing wonderfully, creates deliciously quotable quotes, infuses tons of humor, and creates characters so fleshed out I feel I know them better than many people in my high school class. Another reason why I am a fan of John Green's work (especially The Fault in Our Stars) is the tone that he writes with and the character voice. For me, his books feel like a bedtime story, the kind that you want to hear to relax you, keep you awake to know what happens, but always want to save a sliver because you never want them to end, and when you finally finish the book it has a sense of completeness to it that, very rarely, leaves me wondering: ""What Happens Next?"" His writings are delectable, and The Fault in Our Stars is a fine addition to his other works, and is probably my favorite book of his to date.<br/><br/>Even with John Green reading the first two chapters of The Fault in Our Stars on his and his brother's youtube channel, I really did not know what to expect. It was an addicting read, and one that I could not put down until it ended. Then I read it again, because I did not want the journey to stop. If you are on the fence about this book, I would suggest getting it. I have been reading John Green since his first book, and I've never been disappointed. He is a powerful writer, with the ability to cram so much life into a relatively small book. For me, it was a piece of fiction, that was a slice of a little-known-reality, and for that I say thank you.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R18USSBR8Q81JW?ASIN=014242417X	A Story That Leaves You Speechless	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Sharing your opinion and impressions soon after you've finished a beautifully written peace of literature is always challenging. However, it feels right to express it: not only for the enjoyment of other people, but rather for your own feelings and emotions.<br/><br/>To praise this book with the words of affection, astonishment, and appreciation would be too dim in comparison with the amount of light it brought to my inner world. It took me awhile to discover this type of story, but shortly after I my eyes met the characters of Hazel Grace and Augustus Waters, I already knew it was the beginning of a beautiful journey. I loved every chapter of it, its ups and downs, honesty and purity. Not to mention how witty it is. Everything about this book makes you want to meet the love of YOUR life, and make an ""Okay"" your ""Always.""<br/><br/>I cannot help but mention this book's relationship with its motion picture companion, for those of you who might be interested. Even though I watched the movie first, it did not spoil the reading experience in any way. The only downside is that your mind tends to compare and picture everything that happened exactly the way it did in the movie, and rejoice every time the book took a different turn or revealed some unmentioned scenes. For that I was absolutely blown away by the book. The depth and honesty of the dialogues made me feel present, experiencing compassion and understanding.<br/><br/>I am a firm believer that a true love really does exist, and every one of us deserves to, at least, touch it while reading stories like ""The Fault in Our Stars."" And for this, I am grateful to its author. Kudos!</span>"

Hazel and Augustus hit it off--with amazing chemistry--from their first encounter. If you came for the romance, you will not leave empty-handed. You'll also get these lovely parting gifts:<br/><br/>-  The other characters. Hazel and Augustus are amazing--in a category all their own--but each of the other characters has a place in my heart also: tender-hearted and witty Isaac; Hazel's emotional and loving parents; bizarre and reclusive Peter Van Houten; Peter, the eternally cheerful and trite leader of the support group in The Literal Heart of Jesus--it goes on.<br/>-  Laughs. I'm not talking about chuckles, though those occurred from time to time. I'm talking guffaws that woke my husband and sister. Oops. John Green kept this up throughout the book. It was truly amazing how he had me going right through the end.<br/>-  Tears. If I wasn't laughing, I was crying. Part of this is terribly sad, and I think you're prepared for that from the beginning. There's no escaping it. Green still seems to make almost every awful moment bittersweet, though--redeemable in some small way. It ended up just making me cry harder. Then there are the downright heartwarming moments--and there are plenty. Well, in that case, there was nothing else to do: the tear ducts were already warmed up, after all.<br/><br/>Just in case this was lingering in your yeah-I-keep-meaning-to-read-that pile, pull it out. There's no reason to keep you in suspense with my opinion or rating for this one--it's a solid five for me.</span>"

I have never cried so much reading a book before, and even though at times I thought I couldn't keep reading, I couldn't tear my eyes away from it. This book was about a young girl Hazel Grace, or Just Hazel lol, who has thyroid cancer that has spread to her lungs. Hazel knows she's not going to live long because her cancer is terminal. Her parents thinking she us depressed sends her to a support group. At this support group she meets her friend Isaac and the love of her life Augustus. Augustus is in remission and only has one leg, because the cancer he had affected his bones. At first Hazel does not want to pursue a relationship with Augustus because she is afraid of dying and hurting him. She often relates herself to a grenade. Augustus had already lost a girlfriend to cancer and she didn't want it to happen again because she believes she will be the first to go. Or so she thinks. Augustus' cancer comes back and spreads throughout his entire body. He knows he is not going to survive and one day has a prefuneral with Isaac and Hazel and asks them to give eulogies. Hazel told him he would instead give one at her funeral. Even though he died he did in fact write a eulogy and sent it off to the writer of their favorite book, whom, using Isaacs wish they had met, in order to try to figure out the end of the book because they author ended it in the middle of a sentence. They didn't find their answers on this trip but it was when Hazel realized just how much she loved Gus. I would recommend this book to anyone. Would I reread it?

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read  The fault in Our stars because, I wanted to read a gushy romantic story and that’s exactly what it wasn’t-in a good way.<br/><br/> The book was absolutely heartwarming. It goes into the reality of teenage heartbreak. But, in another dimension. My explanation for that is, imagine a teenage love story being attacked by terminal cancer. The story begins with seventeen-year old Hazel Grace Lancaster, she is diagnosed with severe lung cancer called “Thyroid.” On her mother’s behest, she is forced to attend a cancer patients’ support group. A young boy named Augustus Waters immediately catches her eye. Augustus had a type of cancer called “Osteosarcoma,” but he is now cancer free and had his leg amputated. He is at the support group on the behalf of his mutual friend, Isaac. Isaac had a tumor in one eye that he had removed, but now he has to have the other one taken out. Leaving him blind. Augustus and Hazel grow close and fall hopelessly in love.  They share the same interests; reading the book An Imperial Affliction. In the end, a heartbreaking twist occurs. I’d be giving too much away if I revealed the rest. You’ll have to read the book to find out.<br/><br/> I highly recommend this book to readers that want to cry. I really enjoyed the book because, it was not only humorous, it was real. It wasn’t a typical love story, where the guy falls in love with the girl and they get married and have eighty six children. John Green is an amazing author and I  recommend this book, to anyone thirteen years old and up. It does have a couple words of profanity. But, other than that it was phenomenal. Written by Chanel, 7th grade</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1J5DDI2DNU7A2?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing & Real.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I loved this book. This book has became a standard for rating other books. I think of this so highly and I'm deeply anticipating the movie.<br/><br/>The pros of this book:<br/>1. The writing style of John Green. The way he described the characters, let alone the way he portrays Hazel's thoughts are humorous and witty, something that I enjoy greatly.<br/>2. Although this book is recommended for young adults, I feel like this book could be read by just about anyone who can understand the wit.<br/>3. Augustus Waters. This boy is just the most amazing thing. He knows how Hazel is feeling. He knows Hazel's standpoint on dating. But that boy perseveres!<br/>4. Hazel Grace. Hazel, Hazel, Hazel. She's so pessimistically optimistic in ways that almost anyone can relate to, especially young adults. As the heroine of the story plot, she shows weaknesses that I enjoy seeing in books. Many books portray heroines as strong, perfect, happy-go-lucky. Not this. This book is so utterly real with her weaknesses, we can almost touch them. Amazing.<br/><br/>I would go on with the pro list but I don't think anyone has time for that.<br/><br/>The cons:<br/>1. The one and only con about this book is that you'll stay awake not only during the reading process, but much afterwards. This book caused me to think of so many questions about how I would spend my life and about who I would spend it with. This book makes me wanna cuddle up with a puppy and hot chocolate, pop in a Nicholas Sparks movie, and surround myself with boxes and boxes and boxes of tissues.<br/><br/>John Green, well done. I've become a believer, therefore a nerdfighter.</span>"

Of course, I cried so hard that I thought that I would never stop crying. (Spoiler alert) when Augustus died, I felt like someone ripped out my heart, threw it on the ground, had it shattered in pieces, danced on it, then threw it in a fire. I fell in love with Augustus from the beginning, and I will never stop loving him. He is my dream lover, and of course, no one will ever meet my expectations of a man because I want someone exactly like Augustus (without having them die). John Green, I don't know how you made such a perfect boy. I really wish that hazel fell in love with him way before Amsterdam, so they could have more time to be a couple. I would also love it if you DID NOT KILL AUGUSTUS WATERS. That was the most depressing death ever. I will never cry like that again. I will be seeing the movie tomorrow, and I am prepared with two boxes of tissues. I will also read the book again until the part when Augustus tells hazel that he is going to die, and then I will stop reading so that I will not be depressed for a really long time like I was when I finished this book. Thank you for giving me this amazing gift, and the knowledge of what true love is. You have truly changed my life forever. Thanks John green! Ps. Thank you so much for having ansel elgort play Augustus waters. He is seriously the perfect Gus. He is exactly what I imagined Gus to be. Pps. I really would have liked it if my friends hadn't spoiled that Augustus dies, so that I could have enjoyed the book more. Anyways, READ THIS BOOK!!! It is amazing, and life changing</span>"

Ok, not totally unexpected.<br/>Actually while the books could certainly be described as deep, it is also kind of uplifting and funny, despite the gloom matter.<br/>Did not make it, took a break from reading the book and so did not see the film (added January 03d, 2015).<br/>Five books, then I pulled myself together and finished it.<br/>Actually the surprise was, everyone dies (no, this is no spoiler, you knew that right from the beginning, life it is, not the book).<br/>A few twists and a book-story within the book.<br/>So, funny little book, which might make some people cry, due to the subject matter, but actually: so what? That's life for you, only for some the time period till dying is shorter and more painful.<br/>If you like this, I suggest reading Fight Club, these books are very similar, especially when you consider the underlying themes and not the obvious surface.<br/>Solid 5star, I hope the Movie is as good.

The Fault In Our Stars is about a sixteen year old girl named Hazel. In this book Hazel has lung cancer. Hazel was going through depression, so her doctor had to change her medicine, and insisted she join a weekly support group. Although she dreaded it her mom made her go. Then one day a boy came into support group for a visit, his name was Augustus Waters. Augustus was a close friend of Isaac. Isaac had a cancer in his eyes, he attended support group once a week, just like Hazel. Augustus and Hazel noticed each other pretty quickly. After a while Augustus and Hazel became closer. There was an organization that the ""genies"" granted one wish for people that had illness' one wish. Hazel had used her only wish when she was little, which she regretted, because she wanted to go to Amsterdam to see her favorite writer Peter Van Houten, which was her dream. Augustus knew that Hazel had used her wish, and that she would do almost anything to go to Amsterdam. It turned out that Augustus didn't use wish. Augustus went to go see Hazel; he wanted to use his wish on her, to take her to Amsterdam. Hazel made sure that was what he wanted to do, he was sure. So the genies granted the wish. Her doctors said that she couldn't go, that it was too risky. Hazel was devastated. Then finally the doctors said that she should live her life and go, so that's what she did.<br/>I would highly recommend this book for anyone that's mature enough. This is now one of my favorite books! I hope everyone gets a chance read this romantic, sad, inspiring, powerful book!</span>"

John Green creates smart, funny, irreverent characters who squeeze every bit of life--love, joy, pain and regret--out of the ""small infinity"" they have left.<br/><br/>To respond briefly to some criticisms I've read:<br/>(1) The teenagers don't speak like real teenagers; they are too witty and their vocabularies too advanced. Maybe not the teenagers where you live or go to school, but I've met teenagers like Hazel and Augustus who are far more cerebral than average. It's a book, not real life. If authors wrote dialogue exactly as real people speak it, it would be intolerably banal and boring.<br/><br/>(2) The parents are poorly developed. A 16-year-old with cancer narrates the story. Most children and teenagers see their parents strictly in terms of how the parents relate to themselves, not as fully-rounded people with lives of their own. Hazel and Augustus show more concern and respect for their parents than a lot of teenagers.<br/><br/>I loved this book. It's well-written. Despite its tear-jerky subject, it avoids mawkish sentimentality. (I did not cry, and I am, I am deeply ashamed to say, easy prey to mawkish sentimentality.)  Though a quick read, it's got a lot to say about what's important, why life matters, and what might or might not lie beyond. I hope I can convince my kid to read it. He thinks it's just for girls.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1Y7GK8XCO6LOT?ASIN=014242417X	The promise broken.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">How do writers speak for each of their characters--it's as though they ARE those people.  How else can they give voice to their characters' words, much less their thoughts.  If so, Mr. Green must suffer along with them as they struggle.  To me, it seems that Peter's destruction of self stemmed primarily from the fact that he lied to his dying daughter in telling her he would join her ""soon,"" and yet he had gone on living for over 20 years.  He went on living, although eventually he had nobody but his ruined self to live for.  I understand how that feels, having said that very thing to a beautiful five-year-old girl dying with neuroblastoma during the e last minute of her life on earth, 35 years ago.  The difference--other children other people to live for.  No choice but to stay, yet that lie and the hope in her eyes when I made that false promise haunt me to this day.  Good story, Mr. Green, and of course I would recommend this book to my adult friends, the ones mature enough to bear it.  So many astute observances, such accurate reflections of the agony of losing a loved one, and being the suffering loved one who knows they will be lost.  When our little one was four, she looked at me from her hospital bed and said, with the intent to comfort me, ""We all die, you know.""  She said that so softly and gently.  Some readers will probably think the young people in your book would not be grownup enough to think the thoughts they did, but I know that when a child knows he or she is dying, their maturity level grows in leaps and bounds.  Every character in this book ""rang true"" to me, that's how well written it is.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2FP4Z35HRIXT3?ASIN=014242417X	Modern and meaningful	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I am not ashamed to admit that, as an adult, I loved this book and would recommend it to just about ANYONE.  I read plenty of books, good ones, great ones in fact and this is pretty high up on the list.  John Green is starting to become one of my favorite authors.  Many people say the two main characters are not believable teenagers, and I would definitely challenge that.  These are supposedly two kids fighting cancer, around plenty of adult who have high reading levels.  That makes them wholly believable and witty and lovable on the same sarcastically awesome level as ""Juno.""  I think that this book is the perfect read for the modern teen and provides many insights far beyond the teenaged years.  It's not just a teen story, or a love story, or a cheesy cancer story, it transcends all of that to a story that is just deeply human.<br/><br/>The story of two teenagers trying to navigate their short lives and make them meaningful to each other can be easily turned into something that's been done before.  John Green makes that story something special and adds his unique insight.  He brings us into their world, in which very few adults can remember exactly when THEY were there exactly (how it felt, what was said etc) but it makes you relive that moment through these two wonderful characters.  The small adventure that these two live makes it a very big adventure for two kids who may never become adults.  As I've said before I believe that John Green is the new (and better) J.D. Salinger, and this is what teenagers should be reading in their junior years of high school because it's modern and meaningful.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2G13ONJTGR5BR?ASIN=014242417X	Great Expectations + Average Reality = Huge Disappointment.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">“So dawn goes down to day, the poet wrote. Nothing gold can stay”.<br/><br/>It is said that if you learn to accept rather than expect, you will have fewer disappointments. But I guess, it is human nature to expect. I had huge expectations of this book after the overwhelming amount of reviews, and the generous ratings it received. However, if I had to describe my thoughts about this book in a nutshell, it would be: Great Expectations + Average Reality = Huge Disappointment.<br/><br/>Let me start with the positives.<br/><br/>This book gave me a peek into the world of kids/teens who are battling disease. I had not read anything like this before, and it was part of the reason I picked this book.  What I particularly liked was that despite the fact that the main protagonists are suffering from cancer, it is not just another Cancer Book. It is so much more. There are some really great thoughts expressed in a very beautiful way. It’s also engaging and well-written.<br/><br/>A concern that a lot of people seem to have with this book is that Hazel &amp; Augustus (the main protagonists) do not speak like teenagers. I tend to agree. They think and act like teens. They just don’t speak like teens. The counter argument is that they are simply smarter than the average teen. However, I don’t think this has anything to do with being “smart”. Yeah, they are smart kids, they’ve been through a lot, and they’ve had to grow up fast. And while they are both smart, smart doesn’t necessarily mean speaking like a Yale literature major.<br/><br/>Read the full review @ http://shanayatales.com/the-fault-in-our-stars-by-john-green-book-review/</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/ROR26C9RUQZEX?ASIN=014242417X	Satisfactory delivery and AMAZING BOOK!!! (Audiobook is amazing as well)	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I purchased this book as a gift for a friend(Hardcover copy) and Amazon delivered it two days earlier than expected. I could not be any happier with my purchase. This goes to show how great this retailer is when it comes to purchasing books. Now here is the review.<br/><br/>If you like slice of life stories that are heartwarming and feel-good then this book is for you. It makes you look at life in a whole another perspective and puts you in the shoes of a girl named Hazel Grace who is suffering from terminal cancer. Her mother encourages her to attend cancer coping sessions with other people of her age with cancer where she meets a handsome boy by the name of Augustus Waters. They soon fall in love both fighting the disease that may one day tear them apart. The story is an emotional roller coaster that will make you cry, laugh, get angry, and make you feel as if you are really watching an Oscar Winning movie. The two characters are easy to fall in love with because they are witty and absolutely adorable. You will not be able to put this book down so be warned.<br/><br/>If you are considering whether to get the audiobook or not, I say GO FOR IT! I found the narrator to be quite excellent in conveying the emotions of the characters. She does a brilliant job keeping the characters alive. I really felt like I was hearing the voice of Hazel coming through her. In fact I found the audiobook to be as good as the book itself, if not better. Whether you choose to get the audiobook or not, The Fault In Our Stars is one of the best books written in years and I thank John Greene for writing this amazing story.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R26P8NZ4U2VVDU?ASIN=014242417X	is an incredible story about 2 people fighting cancer who learn to love. However	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The book, The Fault In Our Stars, by John Green, is an incredible story about 2 people fighting cancer who learn to love. However, this book is more of a coming age and a romance book, rather then a typical cancer book. The main character, Hazel Grace Lancaster, is a stage 4 cancer patient and lives a very boring antisocial life, unlike the other main character Augustus Waters, who lives an eventful life and plans on enjoying every minute his life while he has it. Unlike Hazel, Augustus used to have cancer but is now in remission. They meet in a cancer support group and sparks fly. Hazel try's to keep to herself, but Augustus, based on his personality, jumps straight in and starts flirting. They become great friends once Hazel makes Augustus (Gus) read the book ""An Imperial Affliction"". After reading this book they go to Amsterdam to meet the author, Peter Van Houten. Sadly, on this trip Hazel learns that Augustus's remission did not last and he once again has stage 4 cancer, This book has a tragic end, but truly shows the meaning of true love. When going into reading this book, I was not expecting the ending. I don't want to give it away, but I was truly shocked by the ending. It is one of those endings that you can't stop thinking about. It just sits their and lingers in you mind. However, in the overall this was a fantastic book. Yes, it is very sad, but it touches your heart and keeps you interested in the book. The author gives great detail and keeps you on the edge of your seat the entire time. This is definitely one of my favorite books, and I would highly recommend it to all readers!</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3P9M7PCGVFYHK?ASIN=014242417X	Not many faults in these stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">TFIOS was not quite the teen book I had expected. I knew from the synopsis and movie trailers that it was not a light hearted love story but was slightly surprised at the path this story took. It had moments of well thought out text and dialogue and then others times where I felt the need to keep truckin on and not give up on it yet. Somewhat sporadic and random at times but the characters were each fleshed out decently enough that it kept me on a small tether.<br/><br/>Hazel was unique to say the least and certainly not like any teenager I've ever met but, it's also fiction so then again, if this was written with current teen angst and behaviors in mind, I would have abandoned it long ago. Augustus was cut from a different cloth as well but in his character development I found myself enjoying his journey a tad more and wishing I'd be given more of him. Of course my mind's eye envisioned the faces that have been on all of the movie promo material so I can't say whether or not I agree with casting choices.<br/><br/>And honestly...who cares.<br/><br/>After completing this in a few days I can certainly see the hype and excitement behind it and I am curious to see how this has been adapted for the screen. My only thought after I finished the final page was whether or not my daughter (then 12) should have read this heavy worded book at her age in 2012. This is not for the younger tweens, in my opinion, as most of the vocabulary and dialogue have the potential to be misunderstood. But honestly...I mostly read this for the teenager under our roof that will, undoubtedly, ask to see the film soon.</span>"

A book that can convey emotions intensely that I fiercely feel I'm actually going through what the book characters are enduring. Profound and personal thoughts told by a book character can sweep you away in love, can break your heart in pain, can make you ecstatic in laughter.<br/><br/>This is not an easy subject to write or read, but the author has written a lovely, touching and highly unique story with remarkable characters. Told in a comical yet heartbreaking story, this author makes me think about real-life people who go through this. It made me admire them even more, it made me think about how momentary life can be, how everything can change quickly, and how adaptable we are. In the midst of unfortunate circumstances a one of a kind love story is told, and most of all a story about how we should cherish life always. Okay?<br/><br/>""We made the story funny.

3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1W96O3EINCPIM?ASIN=014242417X	John Green at His Finest	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">For bookworms everywhere, John Green’s bestselling novel, The Fault in Our Stars, has been captivating readers just by the first page. Sixteen year old teen, Hazel Grace, with terminal thyroid cancer meets another cancer survivor teen, Augustus Waters, at a young support group. The two star-crossed lovers learn from each other about living every single day to the fullest when life can be so short. Green’s most popular novel is guaranteed to make readers laugh, cry, and fall in love with the two teens as they go on this journey together. So far, out of all of his other books, The Fault in Our Stars has had the highest amount of sales.<br/><br/>Since I have read other of Green’s works, I am familiar with the style of his writing. Unlike his other novels, such as Looking for Alaska and Paper Towns, the author reaches out of his comfort zone in his fourth and most popular novel. Just like the majority of Nicholas Spark’s heart wrenching novels, Green happens to incorporate a common theme throughout all of his books. A nerdy guy, who usually happens to be the narrator, befriends a gorgeous and sharp girl out of his league. He ties it all together by adding teen romance and a taste of tragedy. I was surprised to see that Green was writing about delicate material.<br/><br/>I highly recommend for those who may have not raved about his other books, to give Green another chance and take the time to read The Fault in Our Stars. I can guarantee that the author’s growth in his fourth novel will not only impress you, but make you fall in love with the characters and their journey throughout the story.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1GD2JPEFGPI3P?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in Our Stars - A Roller Coaster That Only Goes Up	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">John Green begins ""The Fault in Our Stars"" with an author's note, where he reminds the reader that the book is a work of fiction, and not based on actual events. He reminds us that there is no need to try to identify any actual events, because so doing would fail to properly value the power which fiction can have. This is a good reminder for us, as readers, because John Green introduces us first to Hazel and then Augustus, who quickly bond over a book, ""An Imperial Affliction.""<br/><br/>What Mr. Green essentially creates are several books. Through the quotes and discussions of the characters in ""The Fault in Our Stars,"" it is possible to figure out large portions of ""An Imperial Affliction."" This second book, which Hazel and Augustus read, allows the author to bring in additional viewpoints concerning loss and death - or perhaps just death, and loss as a side effect of death. These two young people strive to find out what happened to the characters after the end of the book they had read. This need to know what happens after the end of a book is easily symbolic of the need to know what happens after the end of life - a question one can understand coming from a young man and woman, each with various stages of cancer.<br/><br/>At its simplest, the book is about all those topics one would expect from the genre. It is a story of love and life; a story of illness, of pain, fear, death, and loss. Yet, it is, at the same time, a commentary on literature and the power of fiction. A power which any reader of ""A Fault in Our Stars"" is sure to understand. It is ""a roller coaster that only goes up.""</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I haven't read a book so intellectual, so perfectly worded and pictured, in a very, very long time.

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2YYOSFEL3XEH6?ASIN=014242417X	I could be wrong, but	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I could be wrong, but I find it a little hard to believe. Not the cancer part, or anything to do with the story line, really, but the two characters themselves. You have two people who met in a support group, and they just happened to be the same age (cool) and are fond of reading (as many of us are). But the similarities don't end there. They are both ridiculously smart, smarter than anyone I know anyway. They're both smart-asses too and use a lot of sarcasm. And it's not just them, their friend Isaac is smart and sarcastic all the time as well. I could have believed how similar they all seemed if they met in a literary class or something, but for three ridiculously intelligent, well versed people to meet in a local support group seems a little far-fetched.<br/><br/>I'm not saying the author should have dumbed down his characters, but their personalities were so much a like I started to find it annoying. By the end it's like they were sharing the same thoughts and they hadn't even known each other that long.<br/><br/>One other thing that stood out was the he said/she said. This is just preference for writers' but personally I like a little variety. It got redundant after awhile. ""Okay,"" he said. ""Okay,"" I said. ""Okay,"" he said again. And so on and so forth. Just made it a little hard to read at some points.<br/><br/>So other than those two issues, the book was really good. Would I ever re-read it? No, probably not. The ending was great, well done. In fact, the way it ended was probably the best part. I definitely recommend the book to anyone considering it.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R11FG6H85Z218X?ASIN=014242417X	4 to 4.5 stars. Very moving.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I decided that it was time to read this book after hearing so many things about it for so long. Since I had plans to go and see the movie adaptation, I finally bought the book to read it before.<br/><br/>It’s been a while that a book nearly brought me to tears. I had to take breaks at some key scenes to bring my breathing back to normal. It’s that powerful.<br/><br/>At first, I wasn’t sure I’d love it so much because the writing is very unique, but it’s so fitting to the characters! The humor is wonderful, the plot is amazing, the characters are strong, flawed, down to earth and yet they have that youth that only brings more life to this story.<br/><br/>This story broke my heart and I know it’s one I will remember for a long time. A very long time.<br/><br/>Everything felt true, resonating inside of me to better grab me and push me into Hazel and Gus’ story and all the characters seconding them. It’s sweet, strong and also hopeful. I know, it’s quite weird since this story is so sad, since there’s no miracle, but somehow these characters are showing something to me, something that makes me think of hope. As crazy as it sounds.<br/><br/>I was never bored throughout the book. In every chapters there are many key scenes, something that would give even more dimension to the characters and that grabbed me, making my heart beats some more either painfully or sweetly.<br/><br/>It was easy to relate to Hazel, or at least it was to me, and it made it all the more moving. I couldn’t put any distance and I experienced that story full force.<br/><br/>It’s one of a kind book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1KJW65QQC073G?ASIN=014242417X	Felt bipolar while reading this book- It's All Good!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I just finished this outstanding book. Two things: I literally couldn't contain my emotions as evidenced by the mountain of kleenex amassed at my feet; my family now has confirmation that I am a certifiable nutcase as I laughed and sobbed through this book. It is brilliantly poignant, clever, intelligent, profound, WONDERFUL in every word &amp; action.<br/><br/>The MCs are too perfect for words. Hazel Grace is amazing &amp; amazing to love. Augustus, oh Augustus, there are not enough words to convey the loveliness of his soul. EVERY girl should be so lucky to have an Augustus in her life, fleeting or forever. He should be the yardstick by which all boys are measured. Their love was beautiful, heartbreaking, &amp; inspirational.<br/><br/>John Green's writing is Perfection. I read the book on a recommendation from a friend. I probably would not have picked it up otherwise because it just sounded, quite frankly, so depressing. Two cancer kids fall in love? Yikes, give me a root canal instead! I'm so glad I read it anyway. It's such a beautiful story w/ unforgettable, worship-worthy characters. I LOVED how smart, &amp; smart-alecky, they were. Not just Hazel &amp; Augustus, but also Isaac, the Lancasters, Peter (so despicable, yet a sympathetic character by the end), all of them. They were genuine in all of their humanness.<br/><br/>I am so envious of John Green. What must it feel like to be able to string together HIS words into these sentences into these paragraphs into these pages into this remarkable book??<br/><br/>This is my first JG book. Won't be my last. Highly highly recommend.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1VOYZACC8PFIK?ASIN=014242417X	Not What I Expected	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I was hesitant to read this book at all; I'm 65 years old and thought this book might be more of a read for a younger person since it is about teenagers. I also wasn't sure that a story involving teens with cancer could possibly be uplifting in any way and did I want to go down that road. I'm glad that I decided to read it and see what all the hype was about.  The story opens with a very handsome young man staring at Hazel Grace during a support group meeting for cancer patients. Hazel has an incurable cancer and needs to take her oxygen tank (whom she has named Philip) with her everywhere. The young man who is staring is named Augustus and he also has cancer, but is in remission. Augustus has a best friend, Isaac, who has lost an eye to cancer and is going blind in the other eye. These three strike up a relationship, which down the road becomes more for Hazel and Augustus. This is not a sad story but a strong story about finding joy in what these kids have in the here-and-now. Acceptance of their future - or lack thereof - is something that the families have to come to terms with and the stars of the story do it with such grace that you would expect nothing less from these characters. As you read and get to know them, you find such strength in each of them and totally begin to get a different perspective of death. I found great beauty in their love story in spite of the horrible ups and downs that they incurred. I wouldn't call them brave...I wouldn't call them optimists...I would say that they knew how to make time count  with no regrets. Thoroughly enjoyed the story.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R16U5ULXYRYEU2?ASIN=014242417X	My rating: 3.5/5	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I have to admit the only reason I started reading this book in the first place was because the attention it has received lately. It wasn’t the type of funny romantic novel I would typically go for and I wasn’t really into sad nostalgic novels but I decided to give it a try. To be honest, I love the book, but I still feel it was a bit overrated. I read it before the movie was in theatres so I had very high hopes for the movie, having saw the trailer it seems amazing. First of all, I have to compliment John Green. His written work in The Fault in our Stars is phenomenal. He uses a lot of metaphors and motifs in this book to portray and explore the character’s feelings. But honestly speaking, a dictionary was an essential tool for me throughout this book, there were a decent bunch of vocabulary that may be too complex for young teenagers to grasp, or maybe it was just me.<br/><br/>The plot was focused on the life of Hazel Grace, her battle with cancer and especially her romance with a fellow cancer patient, Augustus. I love the romantic development between Hazel and Augustus and their struggle in a daily life basis and what they would give to have a normal teenage life. I love how John includes their little dream journey to Amsterdam to seek out the answer to Hazel’s favourite book, An Imperial Affliction, which remains a mystery to Hazel. Towards the end of the book, John adds a shocking incident which brings readers to tears. I must admit I was pretty much like other girls while reading this book, I laughed, giggled and for most of the time I was holding my tears in.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2CTF1TUIZQYEI?ASIN=014242417X	I read it only in mid 2014	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Because of all reviews across Internet, I had expected to cry a lot. But, it didn't hit me to the level, I had been anticipating.<br/><br/>What I like<br/>----------------------<br/>[The characters, of course.] I like how the writer portrayed them in sort of unique tone which might be new things only to those who never have deep involvement with Cancer and not that strange to those Cancer survivors.<br/><br/>[Book-ception.] I like how the writer buried a book in his book making it more realistic to readers. That writer from Dutch added a funky colour to this novel with pleasant twist.<br/><br/>[Frankness.] I'm not sure if frankness in this book is bold enough to westerners but for an Asian like me born in a very conservative country (Myanmar aka Burma), I like how the characters talked about death, sometimes with faint tone of humour. I like how he illustrated the book in a way to stop us from assuming all Cancer patients or survivors are heroes. It's quite strange that it made me understand it might be natural sentiment to cancer teens.<br/><br/>What I don't like<br/>---------------------------------<br/>[Lack of Twist.] The writer just put a gun on wall and fired it later. Not many things we didn't expect ooccurred. I like a book when it shows me something I totally didn't hope would happened happened.<br/><br/>[Long text between ending and real ending.] The last letter was great yet I wasn't happy since the ending ( the exact thing happened to character(s)) and last word of the book had quite a number of pages. But then, it is just personal taste.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R39QPSBZHIPZES?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault In Our Stars by John Green	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Ok ok I am not going to go into to much details about This amazing book because I think everybody knows what this book is about. But I will tell you all the truth TFIOS caught me why off guard I really did't think I was going to love this book so much as I do now. Let me start from the beginning I was really procrastinating to read TFIOS for some time when I got it out of the library, because I read Looking For Alaska first by John Green and I think that was a big mistake to start that book first. I am not say Looking For Alaska was not a good book it really was a good book but it was not my favorite book by John Green. I really did enjoy the plot and the story of Looking of Alaska I just didn't care for the main characters of it which kind of bummed me out just a little bit but I really did enjoy the book over all. So that's why I was really procrastinating and took some time to when I finally read TFIOS and Ohh boy when I finally read it I was hooked line and sinker. The hype for TFIOS is so true this book was a really beautiful heartbroken story that I could not put this book down at all that I finished it in two days. I just loved everything in TFIOS especially the characters. My heart just hurt for everything they were going through, and I totally understand there personality and they way there were acting towards there friends and family member just heart wrenching. All in all I say TFIOS is one of my favorite books by John Green that I will never forget. Now I most definitely going to try John Green other books out as well. Well Until Next Time My Friends.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R155HD35G5ZOJ6?ASIN=014242417X	It's about life and death and everything in between... but mostly towards the death end.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars, John Green (Dutton Books)<br/><br/>beautiful, brutal<br/>tumors amongst the tulips<br/>happy ever ‘now’<br/><br/>Some books begin with the clear certainty that things won’t end happily ever after, and so it is with John Green’s ‘The Fault in Our Stars’. There’s no secret that this is a love story between two terminally ill teenagers (albeit in remission), but the power and the point of this book is not about the illness. It’s about the possibilities. It’s about living life instead of passing the time.<br/><br/>It’s Happy Ever Now.<br/><br/>The dialogue between Hazel and her cancer-friends is very John Green-ish. It’s very clever and fast and ironic and insightful. At first I thought it was unrealistic – as unrealistic as anything in fiction can be – but I got used to the rapid-fire observations and commentary. And there’s the fact that both Hazel and Augustus were home-schooled and clearly bookish types, so the language jousts and deep-and-meaningfuls were justified, to me at least.<br/><br/>I found the descriptions of illness to be refreshing. Amputees, chemotherapy, drugs and optimism are introduced and taken for what they are in amongst the discussions on life and love and being a teenager. Cancer isn’t a taboo in this book, and neither is death. In fact, the delivery of a pre-funeral towards the end of the book really emphasized the inevitability of such things for everyone. As Hazel notes: funerals are for those who are left behind.<br/><br/>I can’t really add anything new to the reviews of this book. It is a phenomenon.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3D4NCJL5LQBTQ?ASIN=014242417X	Simply fabulous	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">It is not everyday that a few thousand words change a person's life. After reading this book, that is what happened for me. I understand that is truly cliche, but true none the less. This book is a work of art. Many say that it sounds unbelievable and that teenagers do not speak in such fashion. This is simply untrue. One must consider that these particular adolescents have faced the scary thing that goes bump in the night, aka cancer. Therefore already placing them ahead of their peers in mental maturity.<br/>It is a simple love story with a few complexities. It happens quite fast. First they become great friends and then fall in love ""slowly then all at once"" the quotes you can get from this book are unreal. Such wisdom and beauty.<br/>Perhaps my favorite thing about this book was the way it ended. Without giving it away...you receive the closer that is not located in the Peter vanhouten book, An Imperial Infliction. You know from the first page that this book was not going to have your typical HEA. Don't be detoured, you will still enjoy the ending and the simple teenage love.<br/>I would recommend this book to any book reader. In fact, I quite frequently do. I own both the ebook and the audio version. I have listened/read them both many times. The story never becomes a bore. Each time I find something I missed previously.<br/>I don't think I have ever fallen in love with two characters as much as I love hazel and Augustus.<br/>Read it. Listen to it. Go watch it when the movie comes out. It is a grave tragedy that books this wonderful aren't plentiful.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RHVLCDD3PB15?ASIN=014242417X	Changed my perspective	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is a good read- it helps readers think about life beyond themselves as we watch two teens, and their parents, struggle with cancer and sickness. All this in the midst of finding friendship and love. The Author is not very religious and so the story is left a little flat for me, compared to more hopeful books... but it still has it's own kind of hope - in having been loved and remembered by some. I realize that this quality will make it even more attractive to some readers, and there is definitely room in the book for many different kinds of faith (which are portrayed)... I just can't shake my own belief that there is even more to life than the conclusion the teens came to. But, they struggled with more than I currently have, so really, who am I to say?<br/><br/>What I loved about it, and something that will stick with me forever, was the idea that your unique love and friendship with someone dies with them. For example... my husband and I share a million inside jokes between each other that no one else would or could ever possibly understand or laugh in the same way we do. I watched as one of the characters struggles at the memorial service for the other because he/she felt people didn't truly understand what they shared together, or who that person actually and truly was. The struggle with death wasn't over-glamorized, yet the book isn't a total downer either. I definitely appreciate the one-of-a-kind love I share with my husband a little more after reading this book, and realize that each relationship I am lucky to have is unique and individual.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R312GOP41RPF3N?ASIN=014242417X	Okay,,,	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">THIS WHOLE REVIEW IS FULL OF SPOILERS. DO NOT READ (YOU COULD BE BUYING THE BOOK AND READING IT INSTEAD).<br/><br/>..<br/>...<br/>.<br/><br/>A chock full of spoilers because I have feelings, okay? Okay. (In fact, writing 'okay' made me cry even more).<br/><br/>I just finished this and I'm entirely wrecked. The best thing about fiction? You get to meet these wonderful, living people and get to know them and fall in love with them. The worst thing about fiction? You can't reach into that world and, with your magic reader powers of want and hope, make them better again. I can't reach into The Fault in Our Stars and make Augustus Waters well. I can't tell him it'll be okay once I've cured him of his cancer, and I can't tell him he'll live a wonderful and happy and healthy life with his Hazel Grace (I would've cured her too, of course). Instead, he's at a Capital-S Somewhere, not playing basketball (because he hates it anyway). Wherever Capital-S Somewhere is, I hope he has his crooked smile, his charm, his packet of cigarettes, his memories of Amsterdam and, most importantly, his love for Hazel Grace.<br/><br/>Needless to say, that book left me sobbing. It's the kind of book that punches you in the chest, rips out your heart and then goes for your soul. And you know what? It feels good. Because book like these make you feel alive after a little part of you has died.<br/><br/>Augustus Waters, you're a great character and I miss you already. You can live in my Capital-S Somewhere and be happy and healthy and with Hazel Grace, where no one can hurt you.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R216RYYDHSKOTU?ASIN=014242417X	Good Book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Love stories can either end in death or estrangement. .I have read many a tale of love ending in a tragic death. I thought I will close the book as soon as I get a gist of the plot. After all , what new will this love story have?  So what kept me going till the last page were the characters Hazel Grace and Augustus Waters. They have cancer and they are teen kids. But they have super cool personalities. Indeed they have this mature attitude towards life that it is hard to believe they are so young. But imminent death could do a lot to people. When you do not have ample time, you try to focus on the big picture. Hazel and Gus are in love inspite of the futility of their relationship. They think it is worthy. To quote from the book , some infinities are larger than others. A short time spent with someone special might feel like forever and infinite. I read some reviews that people cried a lot. I cried a little at the end but that's it. What I felt was sadness and wanted to get over the book as soon as possible. I did not want to be haunted. As long as the characters were with me , I neither loved them or despised them. I was just a silent observer. But as soon as I closed the book, I felt  a terrible loss. Though I wanted to move on to another book so that I can stop the haunting , I still cannot let go of the book until I went through all my notes and marks. I reread sections of the book and fell in love again and again.<br/>""I fell in love the way you fall asleep: slowly at first and then all at once""<br/><br/>A beautiful book in retrospection!</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R10DKFTJF7DKIV?ASIN=014242417X	Warning: This Book Will Break Your Heart	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Warning:  This book will break your heart.<br/><br/>When I started I held this book at arm’s length, mostly because I knew the subject matter was heavy, and then, after reading the first chapter, because I didn’t much care for the voice of the narrator.  I almost set it aside a couple times in the first 50 pages, but I soldiered on, driven by the fact that so many of my friends recommended it.  I’m glad I stuck with it because this book touched me.<br/><br/> For example, there’s this gem about midway through:<br/>“I fell in love with him like you fall asleep: slowly, and then all at once.”<br/><br/>The characters are what I enjoyed most about this book, which allowed me to ignore some of the other things I didn’t much enjoy like the writing style—this is my first John Green—and the voice of the Protagonist—gasp!—which I had a hard time connecting with.  I absolutely adored Augustus.  I want an Augustus!  I felt that Augustus, at least for me, was the star of this book.  Without this character, I definitely would have set it aside.  He had a great personality; it filled the pages.  He added a lighter, comedic element to an otherwise heavy book, and he even got serious Hazel to lighten up a bit.<br/><br/>I’m not sure I’ll read another John Green book, though I’m a fan of Will Grayson, Will Grayson, which John Green co-wrote with David Levithan, one of my favorite young adult authors, but I’m certainly glad that I read this one.  This book didn’t make it to my favorites shelf, but it touched me, and that’s more than I can say for some other books I’ve read. (more reviews at [...])</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2VYLAAP578DQD?ASIN=014242417X	Looking forward to seeing it on the Big Screen	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I don't read much young adult, but I am glad I read this one.  I was forewarned to go into this with an open mind and a box of kleenex.  I wasn't in love with Gus immediately.  His character took a little bit of time to really develop for me.  I found Hazel to be hilarious and so smart.  I loved her conversations with her mom about just being a kid and getting out of the house.  And Isaac, that kid is my favorite.  Seriously he cracks me up!  I felt so bad for everything that these teenagers were going through, but they were strong, and they stuck by each other and were surrounded by support.  I feel like these characters appeared older than they were, but I can only assume that when you are dealing with these life changing uncertainties that becoming beyond your years is inevitable.<br/><br/>We've all faced that book where at the end we have questions.  Yes the author may have wrapped things up nicely, but still, we have questions.  Gus won me over when he used his wish for him and Hazel.  I think that trip was an important once in a lifetime adventure that they were both deserving of.  I didn't really enjoy the scene at the house when they visit the author.  Maybe I was just too much like Hazel, just wanting him to give her the answers to her questions.<br/><br/>So now at the end of this book, I'm left with a few questions, which I understand why is was done that way and it makes sense, but it won't stop me from still having questions.  All in all, it was well written and I enjoyed reading it and I'm looking forward to seeing it in the theater!</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R361IBBAOKFOA7?ASIN=014242417X	The pitfalls of first love.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">""The Fault In Our Stars"" by John Green is a lovely young adult novel. Hazel Grace Lancaster has terminal thyroid cancer and she joins a support group to help cope with her clinical depression. In support group, Hazel meets Augustus Waters who lost a limb due to his bone cancer which is now in remission. Augustus falls deeply in love with Hazel, but Hazel has reservations and anxiety when it comes to her feelings for Augustus. Hazel is attracted and intrigued by Augustus but she is afraid to act on her feelings for him. Hazel knows that her cancer will never get better, she will only get sicker and sicker. I don't want to give too much away but I liked ""The Fault In Our Stars"" but I didn't love it. I felt like some of the dialogue was a little far-fetched. Teenagers don't normally talk in such a detailed and grown-up matter. Augustus and Hazel are very smart but I felt like John Green made them sound like 40 year-olds. I also felt like Hazel had a dramatic personality shift halfway through the novel. Hazel is shy and reserved one minute, and the next - she's unlikable and disagreeable. I also found Augustus a little too smug and overreaching. I think my favorite character in the novel was Isaac. Isaac's emotional pain he experiences after he becomes blind felt so real and unfiltered. The best scene is when Isaac throws eggs at his ex-girlfriend's car. It's hilarious. ""The Fault In Our Stars"" was a little bit overhyped but I'm in my early '30s and since this is a young adult novel - I'm sure that age bracket will enjoy this novel immensely. John Green is a funny and sensitive writer so give this quirky little novel a chance. Enjoy! ""Okay?"" ""Okay.""</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R17516WFSWG3LT?ASIN=014242417X	Extraordinarily accurate.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I've never in my life contemplated the consequences of existing, living, dying, loving, until now.<br/><br/>That being said, this book made me look at life in a way that is somehow frighteningly comforting.  It made me realize the beauty of death.  Everyone always talks about the beauty of life, but never the beauty of death.  We live in a world where people have made it an unspoken rule that you just don't speak about death.  Because speaking about death is ""wrong"" and ""sadistic"" and you most certainly can not see the beauty in it.  Because death is bad.  But in this book, death isn't bad.  And it makes you realize that in a way, death is LIFE.  Because when it boils down to it, aren't we all dying?  We're walking around everyday in the midst of death, yet nobody stops to realize the importance.<br/><br/>Also, you can't speak badly about dead people.  Because when someone dies, were supposed to remember the good things about them.  But what if the person was mean?  A real grade A jerk.  What then?  A lot of the time, the bad in life goes hand in hand with the good.  So why, in death, is it unacceptable to think, or speak, about the bad?<br/><br/>This book speaks on all these subjects and more.  It opens your eyes to a new way of living, of life, and death.  If you walk away from this book having felt, and learned nothing, it's not the book you need to reevaluate.  It's you.<br/><br/>I recommend this book to literally anyone and everyone.  There's a lot to be learned here, you need to start somewhere, and it might as well be this book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RD9D4XC0MTQDH?ASIN=014242417X	love it or hate it	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I actually got to this book because my mother read it and said she really liked it but it wouldn't be anything for me so I kind of wanted to prove to her that it is and started reading. Every time I talked about it to someone they were like ""You read that, that's a girls book"" but it didn't really bother me so just as a heads up, this review is written by a guy.<br/>By god, I did not feel so strongly about a book in quite a while. I love it, I really do. It's a great book, I love the style it is written because it's not your everyday language in wide parts, you can read it very well and it just doesn't get boring - I read it within two days. The thing I was really worried about was, that I had knew part of what was going to happen so I was a little worried that it would be not that good of a book for me but it was just as good as if I hadn't known anything... Now to the hate it part, of course I'm not going to spoiler anyone so I'll try to stay very unspecific. This book has, in my eyes, not a happy ending even though it's a good ending, it's not a nice one and I mean I loved the book on the one side but really hated the last third on the other side. Not because of how it was written and I didn't really hate it but it kind of opens your eyes to how good my life actually is and how blessed I am which makes me a little angry which on the other hand obviously means that Hazel's life is not that great.<br/>Sorry if this was a little confusing but I just wanted to put my thoughts down.<br/>Thanks for reading and have fun with this book</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2JI0BYCOIM58A?ASIN=014242417X	Just Lovely	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is the first and only book that I've read by John Green. Some people might be astounded by that fact, and I can now see why. The Fault in Our Stars is beautifully written and I've fallen in love with Hazel and Gus. I even like Gus's friend Isaac. These characters are teenagers afflicted with a horrible thing called cancer, but they don't let that stop them from living or loving. They enjoy their lives even though they know that their days are numbered... because they know their days are numbered. I think that's what I like most about this book. The characters just keep living the best way they can and that's all you can ask of anyone. It was refreshing to read a book about people with cancer that isn't all about the fact that they have cancer. I do understand why a few people have said that they didn't really like the characters of this book. They said that Hazel and Gus were too pretentious and didn't act like any teenager they knew. I disagree with that assessment. Hazel and Gus are lovers of words. They love to read books and it would make sense that they'd love to use the words that they've learned from books. They aren't like other teenagers because they're more interested in books written by older people with more sophisticated vocabulary than most teenagers possess. I believe that Hazel and Gus would love reading the books that a lot of teenagers hate to read these days such as classics by Charles Dickens and Jane Austen. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves YA romance novels and to anyone who is a lover of words.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R17URFKWM45JYN?ASIN=014242417X	I really loved this book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I really loved this book! If you’re into young adult books, this is for you. This book is also a teen drama. This is about a topic that not many people like to talk about. It's about a 16 and 17 year boy and girl who met in a cancer support group. there are two lead characters hazel and Augustus. Hazel has this type of cancer when she can't breath property by herself. she needs to carry or wheel an oxygen tank wherever she goes. Hazel  has been battling this cancer since she was 13. Hazel's parents had forced her to go to this support group and she doesn't want to go at all. when she finally gave in she went and met this cute guy as hazel calls him, Augustus. Augustus waters has a type of cancer also. But with his type of cancer he had lost his left leg from the knee down. "" cancer books suck"" hazel's had stated which is true. It's true cancer books do suck, who would want to read about a cancer teenager or child dying? the minor subject about this book is the cancer. the major subject about this book is Hazel and Augustus. This is the major subject because we have two teens who is stuffing from cancer and they are just trying to live a normal life as much as they can. As the book goes on you'll find out that Hazel and Augustus becomes really great friends or even best friends. they both took a trip to Amsterdam so they can meet their favorite author of a book they both really like and want to get answers to. When they get back some things had happened. I'm not saying you should go and read it to find out what had happened.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1UZ27KP951OIJ?ASIN=014242417X	Enjoyable story that makes you think	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Being a cancer survivor myself and having had lost a dear friend to cancer, I wasn’t super eager to pick this book at first. Reading a story where I knew someone with cancer was going to die could easily hit too close to home. But when the kindle price dropped, I figured I decided to give it a try.<br/><br/>This is the first book by John Green that I’ve read, and I also have not seen the movie. This was a quick read that kept me engaged. I basically read it in two sittings. It wasn’t one of those books that I couldn’t put down, but it kept me reading when I had it open.<br/><br/>One thing that I really liked about it was how easy it was to feel like I was right there. I had vivid of images of most of the places in the story. The characters were enjoyable and I liked the way they related to one another, dealing with the realities of their illness in believable ways. Augustus was my favorite.<br/><br/>I wasn’t wowed like I thought I would be. Maybe I had higher expectations due to all the hype. So many people say it’s one of the best books they’ve ever read, but I just didn’t feel that way. I did enjoy it: I laughed and cried, but I found it difficult to connect with the characters emotionally. Another thing was the ending was abrupt and not where I expected it. (Though it didn’t end mid-sentence like I suspected it might.)<br/><br/>Overall, I would recommend The Fault In Our Stars. It’s an engaging, enjoyable read that will make you think, and you will also experience a wide variety of emotions. Hopefully, you’ll be wowed!</span>"

2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2TX53CD4XZEXN?ASIN=014242417X	One of the best books every written	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is one of those books that messes you up for awhile after you read it. Hazel is a 16 1/2 year old with has stage 4 Thyroid Cancer. She is taking a medication that has halted her cancer from growing further. She is slowly dying. She wears oxygen and cannot walk or stand for very long without feeling short of breath. She meets Agustus who is a 17 year old boy that was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma, had his leg amputated, and is in remission. This is their story.<br/><br/>This book was so amazing I can't even put it into words. I was shocked when I scanned the reviews and saw a few bad reviews. One of them actually said that cancer has been overdone. Considering 1 in 2 will have a cancer diagnosis in their life, I don't think there are enough books where the main character is living with cancer. I feel sorry for the people that weren't affected by this book. How could you not?<br/><br/>Some of my favorite quotes:<br/>""Mom sobbed something into Dad's chest that I wish I hadn't heard, and that I hope she never finds out that I did hear. She said, 'I won't be a mom anymore.' It gutted me pretty badly.""<br/><br/>""'Okay, please draw a circle.' I did. 'Now draw a smaller circle within that circle'. I did. 'The larger circle is virgins. The smaller circle is seventeen-year-old guys with on leg.'""<br/><br/>""'How are the eyes?' 'Oh excellent,' he said. 'I mean, they're not in my head is the only problem.' 'Awesome, yeah,' Gus said. 'Not to one-up you or anything, but my body is made out of cancer.'""</span>"

2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R35YMRUIC3QTH9?ASIN=014242417X	A Masterpiece?	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Very recently, most people in the UK were deeply touched by the story of a young man called Steven Sutton. Steven died of bowel cancer aged only 19 but not before he had raised over 3 million pounds, from his hospital bed, to help other young people in a similar plight. He lived a short life but few would disagree that it was, a great life well lived. The Fault in Our Stars concerns young people just like Steven, destined to live much shortened lives as the victims of this cruel disease. It tells of their hopes and fears, their loves and aspirations, the rigours and the pain of both the treatments and the disease itself. It is a story both deeply sad yet brilliantly uplifting and is a testimony to the strength of the human spirit and its unwillingness to give up and go quietly. At the centre of the book is a support group for young people and a most touching story of new and fulfilling love between a boy and a girl for whom the hope of a long and happy life is non-existent. It is about short lives lived to the utmost with humour and joy and about the way this disease touches and distorts the lives of ordinary families. This would not normally be reading material of choice for me but I was compelled to read it because of Steven Sutton. I am so glad I did as it turned out to be one of the finest books I've read in a very long time. Many years ago I finished reading The Road, by Cormac McCarthy and on closing it, immediately realised that I'd just read a masterpiece. This book made me feel the same. Quite brilliant.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RQSO3I9AT02PZ?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing! Couldn't put it down!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I'm so glad I finally bought a copy of this book! It's been on my TBR list for such a long time, and I've read so many good reviews about it. I was a little worried that this book wouldn't be as good as I was hoping, just because of how hyped up it was. But thankfully, it was amazing. However, it was much different than I was expecting it to be, though I don't really know if I can describe how what I thought it was going to be like. I loved the characters of Hazel, Augustus and Issac; I thought their relationships were written so well and felt genuine. I also loved that although they were all dealt crappy cards in life, there was so much humor in their friendship. Hazel really starts to open up and live a more full life when she meets Augustus. Its great for readers to realize that just one person can make such a huge difference in someone's life, regardless of their situation. I think we could all use a friend like Augustus; he showed Hazel that there is more to life than just waiting to die from a terminal illness. He got her to do things and think about the world in a different light.<br/><br/>I'm so happy that I read this book. I think John Green is a masterful storyteller, and this definitely won't be the only book of his that I read! I can't wait to go back to the bookstore and find his others (: I highly, highly recommend this to everyone. Its a quick read because it doesn't let you put it down, but its also a very emotional story, which left me with a few tears.<br/><br/>Pagesofcomfort.blogspot.com</span>"

I felt so many emotions reading this book that I can't even begin to describe them. It's just something you have to experience for yourself.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2SL64D2R1ZEK2?ASIN=014242417X	This will always be one of my favorites!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The first few pages were hard for me to focus on but once I got about 5 pages in I was completely hooked. It sounds like you’re listening to the typical teenager ranting about how much their life sucks but Hazel is a little different in that she has cancer. This isn’t your usual girl meets boy, girl + boy fall in love and live happily ever after; no the story is more devastating for obvious reasons, cancer still being a taboo subject and all, yet they manage to find a love that went beyond the physical and traditional. I laughed, I sighed, and inevitably I cried through the emotional roller coaster John Green puts you on. You get sucked into the pages and walk the journey with Hazel and Augustus and ponder the questions they ask themselves; you try to put yourself in their shoes for just a moment and find yourself drowning in the realistic and depressing state of mind that Hazel is usually in while smiling and wishing you could be as open and quirky as Augustus should you ever be in a similar situation. The Novel showcases the worst part of living while putting the spotlight on the best parts of handling the situation. I give the book 5 stars for a few reasons: 1. It’s a realistic portrayal of being a teenager with cancer. 2 The author grabs you and MAKES you become emotionally invested in the outcome. 3. It shows that love does prevail no matter the circumstances and outward appearance of a person.<br/><br/>Original Post at: http://babygotstacks.com/2014/03/02/the-fault-in-our-stars/</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3MFUUSLISL14Z?ASIN=014242417X	Beautiful	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I just finished The Fault In Our Stars. It’s a young adult romance written by John Green. It’s about a girl who is in remission from cancer. She goes to these support group meetings to please her mother, who thinks she’s depressed. There, she meets a boy who she likes. The book is a story of their lives and the lives of those around them.<br/><br/>My description of this book doesn’t do it justice. However, I didn’t want to give anything away. So I was trying to be as vague as possible. I can get a bit carried away sometimes. I felt I could relate to the main character. I don’t mean her illness. I mean her personality. I felt like I could completely relate to her personality and sense of humor. I love when I can relate to characters in the book I’m reading. Marks it up for a great read in my book.<br/><br/>A few times throughout the book, I was reminded of the story A Walk To Remember. They are, in a way, very similar. They are definitely both very sad. They also both have messages of hope in them. You just have to dig hard enough to see that message sometimes. I found both stories very enjoyable. I’m sure that I will read A Fault In Our Stars a million more times before it’s all said and done.<br/><br/>I fully recommend this book to everybody. By everybody, I do mean everybody. This is a beautifully written story. It’s real and it’s sincere. I love this book. I’m so glad that I was given an opportunity to read a book so beautiful and sad. I loved it. I’m sure many others will too.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1FYO970CWRVWU?ASIN=014242417X	Brilliantly told love story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">My Thoughts:<br/><br/>Well, I finally got caught up on the bandwagon right before the movie came out in theaters, which was a good thing. I kinda like knowing what I'm getting into before I see a movie. And I have to say, my book reading experience versus movie watching experience was a little different.<br/><br/>I did enjoy the book, but I actually liked the movie a lot more. Maybe it was because of how well the movie was made, I'm not sure. All the important elements from the book were portrayed as they should have been. The story itself... John Green is nothing short of genius when it comes to these kinds of stories. They're DIFFERENT and in the best and worst ways possible. If that makes sense. It makes sense to me. What I mean is that he takes an idea and he runs with it, and often with unique characters and circumstances. That's why he's a genius. Augustus and Hazel are perfectly and imperfectly paired, and their story is TIMELESS. Better than Romeo and Juliet. Yep, I said it.<br/><br/>The Fault In Our Stars is a brilliantly told love story. I don't know how else to describe it. When I read the book, I teared up off and on, but I didn't full on cry... I'm not sure why that is. After watching the movie, seeing it brought to life and bawling my eyes out, well, I'd probably cry if I read it again. In any case, if you haven't read the book/seen the movie--grab your tissues and hold on tight. Because THE FEELS. You will be feeling many feels.<br/><br/>My Rating: Very Good.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3LVW8KVK6HO6F?ASIN=014242417X	Unremarkable	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I have heard such raving reviews for John Green and this novel. This is the first book by him that I have read. I must say that I found it exceptionally average. Yes, it was full of witticisms, clever remarks, and various other tidbits that made me smile, but I just couldn't get past that fact that the narration was boyish. Perhaps that sounds sexist. Having watched Mr. Green's video blog, I could not separate his voice from Hazels. She did not have the voice of a sixteen year old girl, but more of a thirty-something-year old intellectual male. I also found the way Gus spoke to be highly unbelievable. Not that I don't think that teenagers can't be intellectuals.<br/><br/>Much of talked about OTHER novels, music, movies, etc; things which I am not interested in.<br/><br/>This novel is in the first person of Hazel Grace, a sixteen year old girl with cancer.<br/>*spoilers*<br/>Here's a watered down summary of The Fault in our Stars:<br/> Hazel meets Gus. They go to Amsterdam to meet some douchey author. They fall in love, Gus dies, Hazel is sad.<br/>I was waiting for a twist, or some great storyline, but there wasn't even that. However, having finished the novel I feel as though I can't give it any less than three stars.<br/>This book was not absolute rubbish, but it was forgettable. Nothing special.<br/><br/>But all that aside, I really felt that not much happened in this novel.<br/><br/>I feel that Mr. Green's writing talents would be better suited to a Romantic Comedy.</span>"

Each character is marvelously developed, and it makes a great read for anyone.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R208A24AI7UMCW?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing! Must Read!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I of course finished this book a while ago but it has taken me sometime to talk about it because I cried for the majority of the last like 5 chapters. First off let me just say if someone I love in real life dies, it is unavoidable that I will need to be institutionalized, because I am indeed the type of person to cry for the greater part of an hour over a fictional character's death. For the record, before anyone gets all grumpy because *spoilers* they should realize that the book is about cancer and everything you read about it says it has a heartbreaking ending, so if you hadn't put two and two together, I take no blame. Anyways, back to what I was saying, this book.. I do not want a single person to look at this and say they will not read it because it is going to make them sad, because there is a whole story beyond just the sad ending and it is a story that should not go unseen. It is completely fictional, and it is not someone's memoir. This came straight from the amazing mind of John Green. It is not a story for everyone, there is mild cursing, and a few religious/philosophical veiws that some might not agree with. If you are not the kind of person who can read a book without being persuaded against your personal perspectives, then by all means, do not read this. However, if you are like me and can read a book without taking personal offense to the fictional character for not seeing things the way you do, then I will say as clearly as I possibly can, this is a MUST read..</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RAUCMCK64R196?ASIN=014242417X	Admirably Smart and Incredibly Touching	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is the first work of the smart, yet sensitive John Green's that I've read and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I'm not a huge critic when it comes to reviewing media (well, I try not to be), although I feel that I have quite a fair amount of room to comment on this lovely philosophical romantic that I nourished my story-hungry mind with this past weekend. Hey, if the mods of the Amazon Kindle Store will let any old coot say, ""This book rocks harder than Dwayne Johnson!!"", then why can't I? :P<br/><br/>Still, if I had to reveal any sort of internal criticism toward this book, it would be rendered toward the fact that Hazel and I would have a few disagreements on beliefs regarding human nature and divine appointments. I understand that this is only a fictional story (and a grand one, at that), but sometimes I feel for the characters more than I should, whether those feelings be positive or negative. I guess this is more of a criticism towards her and not towards the story itself, in which case, excuse me for my excessive bantering. (I did say I wasn't much of a critic)<br/><br/>Regardless of whatever other stabs I've taken from it, ""The Fault In Our Stars"" is a prime example of why we should be more aware of the outward, not just inward, damages cancer can cause. That and thankfulness plays a huge role in cherishing whatever life we live, so ignoring it would cause bitterness and a negative perspective on life. You wouldn't want that, would you? Happy reading, fellow bookworms!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R19CQ8R5FCICXX?ASIN=014242417X	I laughed, I cried. Mostly I cried. Like, a lot.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars is an improbable story, but it doesn't feel like one when you're reading it. It feels exactly right.<br/><br/>Maybe it resonates so strongly because of my life as a sick child and then a sick adult who lost most of her sick friends in childhood. Our lives were more predictable because we didn't have cancer, which is unpredictable pretty much all the time, but we were still surprised sometimes. We loved each other and sometimes we fell in love and once in a while the person who died was the one who wasn't supposed to.<br/><br/>What I'm getting at is that it's really weird being a kid and having a mental list of which friends are supposed to die first. In so many ways you just stop being a kid the day you realize that, and Green captures that feeling, all of those feelings, better than anyone I've read who wasn't somehow one of us. I was sure that he had lost a child or a sibling to cancer, right up the point in the acknowledgements where he says he didn't. It's that good.<br/><br/>So it's also that bad. I felt Hazel's pain and joy and fear so completely it was frightening, even as I was jealous of her strength. Hazel is a beautiful creature, as is Augustus, and their love is a privilege to witness.<br/><br/>Bonus points to Green for making up a book for them to bond over rather than using an existing one and turning it into a half-assed lit class. That was a real stroke of genius and made their world all the more real for being wholly fictional.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R135XVC6SYCKB1?ASIN=014242417X	Realistic Look at Teens with Cancer	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars was on my ‘must read in preparation for the movie release” list.  I avoided it for a long time because…well you know, its about teens with cancer so it is going to be sad.  I was prepared and if you are considering reading this novel, I suggest you also prepare yourself.  However this book is so filled to the brim with young love, friendship, and even humor, you shouldn’t miss the chance to read the book because you know it will be sad.  Any book written by John Green is going to be good but I can see why this is the book that he is best known for.<br/><br/>The story is about terminal cancer patient Hazel (who has destroyed lungs) and Augustus (another cancel patient) who meet in a support group for cancer sufferers.  The two fall in love and discover that they still have a lives to live.  John Green paints a realistic picture of teenagers who just so happen to have cancer.  Their struggles and joys leap off the pages.  These are vibrant characters who aren’t supposed to die.  Shockingly, I am not going to give the book five stars.  I did love this book, but it didn’t quite live up to the hype surrounding it.  I also felt like some more time should have been spent on the families of both Hazel and Gus.  They weren’t ignored but the impact of cancer on a family is so immense it just felt like a little something was missing.  Still, don’t miss this one.  I really look forward to the movie as the trailer so far looks very much in line with the novel.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3K3RDK1YWPZO3?ASIN=014242417X	I can't even fathom...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I understand that this review will get jumbled up with all the others, because, ""Writing doesn't resurrect, it buries,"" in the words of Peter Van Houton. I would like to just put out there that this book moved me so deeply, I swear to the omnipotent God that I sobbed for what must have been the entire last half of the book. The characters were so thorough and beautiful with their own quirks and cons, to a degree you rarely see in books nowadays. John Green has a lyrical breeze to his work that makes it pleasing for the eye and soul, and yet is still reminiscent of an intelligent teenage duo on their deathbeds.<br/><br/>***be wary of spoilers that follow this border***<br/><br/>The decision to let our charismatic and unfortunately cancerous main man die nearly killed me, it did. Augustus Waters was this perfect blend of beauty, brains, vanity, and modesty. He in himself is a contradicting character: a dying teen fascinated by the mysteries of life.<br/>And then there's Hazel Grace Lancaster. A miracle in and of itself. From the beginning I foresaw her death, and when Augustus proceeded to, y'know, kick the bucket, I was shocked and secretly pleased because that meant I could wallow in my sorrows alongside her.<br/><br/>***they have ended now***<br/><br/>All in all, I look do forward to reaching other works by Mr. Green. Remember, some infinites are larger than other infinities. (I apologize if this is not the actual quote, my teenage memory is dreadful nowadays.)</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R556OG97UEDAK?ASIN=014242417X	I loved this!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I wasn't sure what I would think of this book because I am in my 30's and typically do not read YA.  But I'm involved in a summer reading group that challenges us to read a book from each of a few different genres.  YA was on the list and since I'd heard this movie was coming out, I figured, why not.  I found myself pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this book.  I found Green's writing to be excellent.  He does a great job of bringing characters, scenes and situations to life.  The dialogue is witty.  And I thought the plot moved at a good pace.  I also especially appreciated that the characters felt genuinely different than those I've met in other books and I thought he dealt with cancer in a way that seemed different than what I've read in other books.  I love that both characters were trying to make as much of their lives as they could and not be defined by cancer, but they also weren't super human or unrealistically positive about what they were going through.<br/><br/>I think the one potential criticism I could see of this book is that the dialogue is so good it's a little hard to imagine two teenagers could possibly be this witty and philosophical.  But I was willing to suspend my disbelief because I enjoyed the dialogue so much and because frankly, I'm 30 years old and if the characters talked like normal teenagers I probably would have found them annoying and grating.<br/><br/>In short, I think this book is a wonderful read and very much enjoyed it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R12OAFXM80KCY9?ASIN=014242417X	Absolutely loved it	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">In general I greatly prefer reading the book to seeing the movie.  There was so much publicity about The Fault in Our Stars movie that I thought I would try this book I had never heard of.  I am so very glad that I did!  I have not seen the movie and I probably will not because movies never measure up to the book.  Measuring up to this book would be terrifically hard.  It was fascinating, thought provoking, interesting, riveting and hard to put down.  I had it on my kindle and took it everywhere and stole moments whenever I could.  I was so disappointed to end the book.  Not because the ending is bad but because I wanted to keep reading something so enjoyable.<br/><br/>The love story of two older teens both suffering from cancer, The Fault In Our Stars makes you think about how you would want to live with a deadly disease. It gives insight into the thoughts of those facing eventual and premature death and the thinking is deep!  It looks at how people face their own potential death or the potential or actual death of those they love.  Having lost a brother to cancer when he was young, this book was really true to life in handling the issues faced by family and especially parents of a child with a deadly disease. The death of someone we love can cause the lives of the living to spiral out of control or can propel them to do bigger and better things for themselves and others.  Definitely a book to make you think about a lot of important questions in life and in death.</span>"

2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1NMZPS5OAI8PO?ASIN=014242417X	"""The Fault in Our Stars"""	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">""The Fault in Our Stars"" by John Green is nothing I thought it'd be when I started reading. I did not believe it'd be about a teenage girl living with cancer, who is wise beyond her years. To be honest, I thought it was something about stars and what's wrong with them. I started reading, the first few pages had me giggling a bit. The ending had me crying more than a bit.<br/>  Cancer is a important role in this story, but it has not infected the book like most stories involving the wretched disease. Cancer plays a small part in the scheme of the book. Hazel (the protagonist) said it herself, ""Cancer books suck."" Indeed Hazel, indeed. Anyways, I don't want to spoil this story for you. I do need to warn you to have a dictionary, because God knows I used one several times.<br/>  I believe the ending was quite sufficient and much more adequate than the one in ""An Imperial Affliction"" (which for so long I believed was a real book. Thanks for that John Green, by the way) This book gave me insights I had never viewed before. The book itself teaches a lesson; a real one, not some- Let, me refrain from cussing in the Literal Heart of Jesus. (When you read the book, that'll make sense to you)<br/>  But I loved what this story taught me.<br/>  This book goes about death the right way, as many books do not achieve. We all know death and this book does illustrate how awful it feels.<br/>  It is now my favorite book and I say that with pride. Please, I beg of you: read it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RIVSCWKMTN6I4?ASIN=014242417X	Deserves Every Accolade!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Every now and then, we are lucky enough to read a book that is so complete it makes us feel everything. A novel that truly takes us on an emotional journey that we never could have imagined, a novel that leaves us yearning for more. The Fault In Our Stars does all of this and more without ever feeling forced, rushed, or inauthentic. Green displays an unique talent here; he knows how to make the reader feel - unlike most authors who can only tell the reader how they should feel. Green's words truly emote and this ability is a gift that Green displays throughout TFIOS.<br/><br/>By now, we all know the plot; so, instead, I'll tell you what I found most profound about this book and Green's storytelling. Despite the fact that half-way through the book I realized one of the characters would die, despite the fact that this was confirmed with about a third of the book left; my knowledge of the ending did nothing to dull any of the emotions that came as I continued to read. I HAD to continue to read. I HAD to know how the story would end even though I already knew Gus would die. This is a sign of the most masterful storytelling.<br/><br/>Green deserves all the accolades he has received for this novel. I have also read some of his other works: An Abundance of Katherines, Looking For Alaska, and Papertowns. TFIOS is far and away superior to any of his other books I have read.<br/><br/>Overall: Must read, for the young, old, and in-between. A story you will not forget.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R24GHQY24745V8?ASIN=014242417X	I Am Not Worthy	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I just finished reading this book, so forgive me if my thoughts are a little jumbled. John Green has the power to do that to us. I mean seriously, as I write this, I'm trying to imagine how August Waters or Hazel Grace might write this review. I'm trying to have as extensive a vocabulary as they have. I'm trying to have a better grasp on the world. Ultimately, I will surely fail, but I can at least give you my not-John-Green-worthy review.<br/><br/>So, this book falls into that category of books that you read over and over, the kind that never really leave you and that you want to read enough to be able to quote them at appropriate times. It's the kind that awakens thoughts inside yourself that you've always had but never knew you had. It's the kind that, if you were the kind of person to highlight books, would have you buying at minimum two highlighters because the mark would become streaky and not highlighter-y enough and so you'd have to use a new one.<br/><br/>What I'm trying to say is, this book is fantastic. It's tragic but hilarious, sweet and endearing yet utterly honest. I just can't even put it into words.<br/><br/>I think for me, reading this was different than a lot of people reading it because I read it not only as a reader, but as an author. I've just come to terms with the fact that I don't deserve to breathe the same air as John Green. I shouldn't be an author if books like his exist. But I am, so I digress.<br/><br/>Read this book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RG1R2ESOV4GZM?ASIN=014242417X	Just beautiful!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Hazel is a sixteen year old cancer survivor. Thyroid with tumors in her lungs. She carries an oxygen tank. Three years ago she had a close call, was ready to say goodbye but was saved (for now) by an experimental drug. I like her attitude. She's smart and sarcastic, optimistic and funny. Her parents are great. Her mom wants her to get out more and meet people and live life. She makes Hazel go to a cancer survivor support group and there she meets Augustus.<br/>Augustus is seventeen years old. He had a touch of osteosarcoma which caused him to lose a leg. He is immediately smitten with Hazel. They quickly become friends. A friendship shared with fellow group member, Isaac (eye cancer, both eyes), and book recommendations.<br/>Hazel and Gus bond over one book in particular. A book with the end all be all of cliffhangers. As a surprise to Hazel, Gus gets in touch with the reclusive author and uses his ""cancer wish"" on a trip to Amsterdam for the couple to meet him. Although Gus is very clear about his feelings for Hazel, she is more reluctant. She knows the reality of her situation and doesn't want any more casualties than necessary.<br/>From there the book sort of changes direction. There was an ""AHA!"" moment that had me yelling, ""Nononononono!"" But even having this prep time and being spoiled to the ending still did not prepare me for the emotions I felt. Green did an excellent job weaving a beautiful story. I absolutely loved it!</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RLC3ZI5GLDVS4?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in Our Stars by John Green	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars by John Green<br/><br/>John Green is the author of Looking For Alaska. John Green is an amazing author, one who writes like I would imagine he speaks. He's just very talented!<br/><br/>This book follows Hazel, a teen with cancer. She meets Gus at a cancer support group and, well, the snowball of feelings begins to roll. Gus has been cancer free for a while now, but attended the support group for his buddy who has cancer-who becomes blind because of it. Gus is very philosophical and poses challenging views and when the thoughts collide with Hazel, it is beautiful. This makes the reader think and question their own beliefs about life, love, and reason.<br/><br/>This book is a movie, just out in theaters. There has been a ton of hype around this book on the internet and booktube, so I picked it up. I do have to say that I really did enjoy the story, but I think I would've enjoyed it more if there wasn't so much hype about it-if that makes sense...<br/><br/>I did have a couple minor problems with the book, like why Hazel didn't question Gus's feelings enough for me to truly believe everything, BUT it wasn't something that destroyed the 'enjoyability' for me.<br/><br/>So, if you like romancy, teen, cry a river stories, read this book! If you're looking for a fresh author with many talents, read this book! If you're not into, or are triggered by cancer, emotional breakdowns, or medical treatment, this book MAY not be for you.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2EARGCCA5MM8L?ASIN=014242417X	Mixed Emotions	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I just finished The Fault in Our Stars and between all of the hype and the trailer on tv every few minutes, I have conflicted emotions about this book.<br/><br/>During the 60's while I was a newlywed Love Story by Erich Segal hit the best seller list for several weeks or maybe months.  Then a movie followed.  I remember crying over the book which I read more than once and also the movie.  The story of a young couple who face the ultimate tragedy really moved me.  Then there was Could Nine by Luanne Rice and many more books and movies which featured young or even older loves thwarted by illness and death.<br/><br/>I think The Fault in Our Stars, which is a line penned by Shakespeare was a good book overall, but I had certain problems.  For one every time I read the name Hazel, I though of a maid from TV played by Shirley Booth.  And then Augustus for a guy although Gus wasn't all that bad.  But the bigger problem is that there were passages I had to read over several times to understand and as a former high school teacher, I have to say that most students don't talk this way generally so I'd have to say they were really smart teens.<br/><br/>This was not an easy subject even though our child is grown.  I have never made sense of children being so ill and dying before they have really tasted life.  Id di feel by the end of the book, Hazel and Augustus felt fulfilled as if they lived to old age.  Hopefully they will meet on the other side someday.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RKN1CWWINAF30?ASIN=014242417X	Another Great Novel by John Green	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Printz Award winning author, John Green, tells the story of Hazel Grace Lancaster, a sixteen year old girl suffering from terminal cancer.  Her days consist of sitting at home and watching America’s Next Top Model.  Worried that she is becoming depressed, her mother makes Hazel attend a weekly cancer support group.  It is here that she meets Augustus Waters, a seventeen year old cancer survivor who will change everything.  The two share a bond over movies, books, and fellow cancer support group member Isaac, who is left blind after having both eyes removed as the result of cancer.<br/><br/>Hazel and Augustus soon build a strong friendship that develops into something more as they continue their battles with cancer.  Their exciting and unique love story consist of great moments together as well as the sorrows of battling a terminal illness.  The story reaches its peak when the pair make an unforgettable trip to Amsterdam to meet Peter Van Houten, the author of Hazel's favorite book, An Imperial Affliction. Throughout the novel Hazel discovers that “some infinities are bigger than other infinities”, and she is determined to make her infinity with Augustus last forever.  This wonderfully written novel presents the difficult and serious topics of illness, death, friendship, and love in an understandable fashion.  The tragic love story between Hazel and Augustus is both believable and heartfelt.  In the end, Green’s novel is beautifully heartbreaking.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">When I first read this book, I LOVED it! I thought it was so original and clever. I loved Hazel and Augustus both, I loved their dialogue, and I love their love. I'm in the minority in that I didn't shed a tear when I read this nor when I watched the movie. To me, it didn't seem like we were supposed to cry.<br/>But recently, I decided to reread this book, and this time I was not as impressed. I can't say I hated TFiOS this time around. I just didn't love it. It was still easy to read, the writing still clever, and the humor still biting. However, this time around I thought Hazel was a bitter brat (especially when she was describing the other members of support group), Augustus creepy, and both of them pretentious. It's also frustrating that they are the same person in different bodies. I know it's ""romantic"", but it gets obnoxious. It's not that I don't like Hazel - she has her caring and redeeming moments, like when the little girl asks about her cannula. I myself even enjoy the occasional America's Next Top Model marathon. But overall, I can't say I want to be friends with either Hazel or Augustus. (I do however want to be friends with Hazel's parents.)<br/>I'm still in the minority with those who did not cry, but now I am joining a new minority - those who do not like this book.<br/>(For my full review, head over to https://theincorrigiblereader.wordpress.com.)</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3M2Y6Z0AEQXUI?ASIN=014242417X	kind of got boring	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">i loved the book when i started reading it. I think they should have took out the Amsterdam, Germany part. I have been to Amsterdam, he didn't put in about the smoking weed part. He briefly said something about the red light district. They were there to enjoy their life and they did nothing fun but go to restaurants. They have cancer so wouldn't it have been good to throw the weed part in there. They drank champagne and no one said no to them. Plus they were more like weird adults, the way the characters talked. The whole Peter Von part was weird. I rooted for them both to live but weirdly Gus died. The parents were a bit concending. They wanted her to have a life then when she started too they complained that they never saw her. John Green should have killed off Hazel. I wanted to see the love story, the real connection. The holding hands in the hospital, the time while he was dying they spent together. I didn't even cry when Gus died because he didn't make it sad enough. I couldn't wait to read this book. i skimmed through all the Germany parts and most of the back home parts because they were boring. Plus Peter coming to see Hazel and she acted like a jerk. Then it ended strange. He sent her stuff that Gus had wrote to him. If John Green would have stopped trying to put in pointless characters then we could have at least knew how Hazel turned out or how she felt about reading the letter.But he has a movie coming out so hopefully that is better.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2OEFBXROLSDT6?ASIN=014242417X	Grab a tissue, you are gonna bawl your eyes out	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Synopsis<br/>Hazel spends her time tethered to an oxygen tank and occasionally attending the cancer survivors support group. She may be alive following her battle with lung cancer, but she's not actually living. All of that changes on day when she sees a new guy staring at her in group. Augustus is also a survivor and forces her to change her views on sickness and living.<br/>Review<br/>This book is sad, I can't really state that enough. As usual, I jumped into this book without reading the description and then spent several hours crying as I made my way through the book. I don't know if I was having an emotional day or if this is seriously the saddest book ever. In my opinion, the emotion that the middle of the book wrung out of me overwhelmed the actual story. I also felt like the last 5th of the book just kind of lost its momentum. There was so much buildup, and then it kind of petered out.<br/>The characters are pretty strong and feel like they could actually be real. I also appreciated that there wasn't an immediate love, or any kind of normal love triangle. The reality of the story may lose some of the younger readers that are used to the fluffy paranormal books that are running around today, and that would be a shame. This is certainly the first YA book that I have read in a long time that evoked an emotion.<br/>My Recommendation<br/>If you are in need of a good cry, go for it! I give it 3/5 - Good, but not something I would repeat</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2DNAM3ONWT6CF?ASIN=014242417X	Such a beautiful life story! NO SPOILERS	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I don't write reviews in an attempt to share details about the book, and I won't do that here.  This is the second time I have read this book and it was just as beautiful the second time!  I NEVER read books through two times, because there are so many books to read.  But, this is worth it.<br/><br/>This is a heartwarming story about life and true love.  It is funny and tragic and powerfully deep.  It is the story of a couple finding each other in a cancer support group.  Even though they are young, they find something within each other that many people in this world never get to experience.  They notice things about the world and themselves in it, that many won't even take time to notice.  Even though the book deals with loss, the book in itself deals more with life and living.<br/><br/>There is a beautiful part where the girl (Hazel) refers to infinities.  She notes that there are an infinite amount of numbers between 0 and 1. And there is a bigger infinity between 0 and 2 or 0 and 1 million.  And even though some infinities are different sizes, we should all appreciate infinities.  The characters joke that there is no heroism in fighting cancer...they make fun of the notion of getting ""cancer perks"".  It is real, sometimes raw, but all the time eloquent.<br/><br/>When I read this book, I went out and read john green's other books.  All of them are good reads, but none are as powerful and beautiful as The Fault in Our Stars.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2I7NNBSXKCRKX?ASIN=014242417X	Warning: Fault in Our Stars will have you leaking rivers from your eyes.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I honestly didn't think I was going to cry. I'd prepared myself throughout reading the first half of this book for what I knew was going to happen, and then BAM!!! John Green comes at me from the side and hits me in the temple! The Fault in Our Stars was a good book: well-written, great characters, funny dialogue, sweet love, and of course, true love lost. I must have highlighted half of the book. No joke!<br/>I have cried harder reading lesser books. I mean, I think I cried harder when Edward left Bella in New Moon and again when Jacob told Bella he couldn't be her friend. I think I have figured out WHY. Everything in this book is so blatantly honest. We know the characters are victims of cancer, however, they hate being treated as such. They have accepted the inevitable, therefore, the reader also accepts the inevitable. This was a fantastic read, one I would recommend to virtually anyone.<br/><br/>Warning: If you are like me and hate stories that do not end in a happily ever after, this book is not for you. I am very much aware of the sadness and unfairness of the world. Reading is an escape from it all and I probably wouldn't have read this book upon scanning the synopsis. My close friend held a gun to my head and made me read and for that I am grateful, if only because I was able to experience Green's amazing writing skills. I am going to go find a happy-go-lucky book now; like Anna and the French Kiss; something a long those lines.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2ZCNGKPRJC5RZ?ASIN=014242417X	I couldn't stop reading it.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">As a matter of fact, if I didn't have so much to do this evening I would immediately pick it back up and read it all over again. I picked this book up at noon today and finished it at 5:00pm. As I told a friend of mine (as I said ""be right back, can't talk now""), this book grabbed me by the throat and I'm afraid that if I put it down it'll tighten its grip.<br/>I am not a teenager, I am a nearly 30 year old woman. It hits home - but what hits home the most is the almost irreverent nature of the book. You can't dance around the issue of cancer when it sleeps in the room next your yours for a while like it did it my house. You have to talk about it. You're not always polite about it. It's a fact of life for a while, just a surely as we all wipe our a**es or clip our toenails. This book does not wrap cancer in a pretty package. This book is not polite.<br/><br/>It's raw. It's difficult. It isn't fair. It's *real*.<br/><br/>The story is excellent and the writing style is fantastic. It immersed me completely in their world for a little while and finishing it was like coming up for air. The description of the book says everything you need to know about the plot - hopefully this review tells you everything you need to know about whether or not to pick it up.<br/><br/>And, as previously stated by many reviewers, bring the tissues. I'm going to go make myself some hot chocolate and try to finish wrapping my head around this book.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R89PYXVTK6VIP?ASIN=014242417X	Life Changing Story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault In Our Stars, by John Green, is one of those stories that grips and does not let go. My daughter loaned me the book, and in a note indicated that I might want to keep it for a while in case I got “bored”. We also have the movie, but she said I couldn’t watch it until I finished the book.<br/><br/>The book was wonderful, one of those that I believe will likely stick with me the rest of my life. It introduces Augustus (my favorite character, by the way), who used his wit and charm to the highest level, in the middle of darkness and despair. It is a story that brings hope in the terrible places of pain, pain, and yes, more pain.<br/><br/>I enjoyed the sarcastic wit shared between the friends, smart wit but with the purpose of humor, empathy and love. I also appreciated the realism and the author’s avoidance of the cliché in serious life situations as these.<br/><br/>As I neared the end of the book, I began feeling all the inevitable downturn of sadness that comes with stories such as these. My daughter (quite the one for giving excellent advice), said “Dad, just hurry up, rip the scab off and finish the book”. Well, it wasn’t as dark and bleak at the end as it could have been, so there really was no ripping. It was a satisfying ending, filled with optimism and hope.<br/><br/>And now I get to watch the movie.<br/><br/>I heartily recommend this book to readers across the entire book-loving, genre-reading landscape.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3SJ52BFQALX3A?ASIN=014242417X	You must must must read this book...It's that amazing!!!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This was an exceptionally well written book with so much humor that I read it all in one sitting!  I couldn't stop until I read the whole book and I can't remember how  many times I was laughing out loud at this book!  It was so much fun and emotional and sad and exhilarating all at one time!  I loved the characters and how real they were.  I loved hoping against hope that there would be a happy ending, but so grateful that the author was brave enough to give us the ending that the characters needed.  I love Hazel Grace and wish I was willing to have another child so I could have a little boy that I named Augustus.  Love doesn't care about age and it's ridiculous to think that teenagers can't and don't experience the real, lasting kind of love.  It was so good to see an actual portrayal of what it would feel like to be living with terminal cancer and how different people handle that situation each in their own way.  It made me wonder what kind of Mom I would be if one of my kids was sick and how much I would hope they would get to experience a love like Hazel and Gus had.  It also left me thinking if I were sick what would I want to leave for my kids as an example that they would be able to say, ""My Mom taught me this...when she was dying...""  To me, what makes a remarkable book is how you can take from the characters and see how they will change the way you live your life.  You must read this book...It's that amazing.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2MD3B0L8J1F6H?ASIN=014242417X	A wonderfully bittersweet novel ... just a little too slick and ironic for a five-star rating.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">To frame this review, I must first say that I wasn't itching to read a teen romance. I would imagine that if I had! I would have been utterly propelled by the chemistry that Green paints in this novel. As a background to the romance, however, the existential dilemma of impending  death (and how to respond to it) serves to heighten both the sweetness and the poignancy of the love story. In fact, it is probably a testimony to Green's character development that the only reason it didn't sit with me at the five-star level is because my own approach to mortality and to the cosmic threat of meaninglessness is different from the approach at which the characters arrived. And, (in my likely arrogance and own existential fears), I wished for them to challenge a little further their own ironic detachment from so-called ""conventional"" systems of meaning, and from more ""traditional"" spiritual approaches to death. But, in this Green stayed  true to a certain type of secular realist approach to death and the world, and in so doing, managed to create profound meaning in gestures of love and sacrifice. Indeed, I found myself completely rooting for these characters, both for their relationship and for their own personal development. I would certainly recommend this to a friend, along with a companion non-fiction work: Ernest Becker's masterpiece, ""The Denial of Death."" The two would make for wonderful dialogue partners.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3QAF4H1FLGEAT?ASIN=014242417X	Unforgettable!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars is such a poignantly written story that my review will not do it justice. This was a book that I had put off reading purely for the fact that I knew it would slay me, and slay me it did. This is the only book I can ever remember making me laugh with joy through tears of sadness. In fact, I don't think I've ever laughed so hard in the middle of a cry like that, ever!<br/><br/>Even though I knew what was coming, I was not prepared enough. You need tissues by your side for this one. I fell in love with Augustus just as Hazel did. I loved Isaac too. And I absolutely loathed Peter Van Houten! I gave up caring about Peter and his damn book quite early on, even though I know it was integral to the story it just bugged the hell out of me. Also, I didn't like the fact that these three (Hazel, Gus AND Isaac) seemed to be teenage geniuses and did not speak like anyone I have ever met, especially not anyone that age. In that regard, the story became quite unbelievable, brilliant, but unbelievable.<br/><br/>Pushing my annoyances aside, I still loved this book. And it is one I won't ever forget. The amount of highlighted quotes and sections in this book were huge for me. So many great lines and a lot of them were in the banter between the three teens (they were highly entertaining, poignant, intelligent and clever and incredibly insightful). The parents were pretty damn good too. Added to my favourites shelf.</span>"

I'm one of the people who saw the movie before reading the book . I'm one of the people who sat through the credits for a few moments before leaving the theater puffy eyed , still crying and got on the phone to recommend it to friends and family . It took me awhile to regain the courage to buy and read this book . I owned the Kindle Edition but I went to the bookstore and purchased the paperback to have with me everywhere . It was $9 . I bought it and still after reading the first few chapters I didn't finish it not yet . Until today . I read and completed it .

I thought I'd be one of the few tough ones !<br/><br/>This is a love story of two cancer diagnosed teenagers . It covers a very sensitive subject . Not being a fan of young teenage love stories I saw the movie first as previous stated and absolutely loved it . I was blown away . And just now finished this book . It was beautifully written . At certain parts funny . You'll love it too !! Please don't go into this book with the expectation that the movie followed the book exactly . (Some parts very similar but no) .

2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RDADIVQZ1L42E?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in Our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I really enjoyed reading this book and enjoyed how the writer has written a story within a story that it makes you stop reading to look up where you can find the other fictitious book that is mentioned over and over again throughout the story.<br/><br/>This story is about two teenagers whom meet and fall for one<br/>another in a Cancer support group.  They are so different but more alike than they know.  They are the perfect balance of peanut butter and jelly.  Just when things are getting sweet for the couple they hit an obstacle in their relationship and soon another.  Can their relationship survive the fault within their own star's?  Is it a truly a star crossed love?  If this intrigues you then read it.<br/><br/>I did notice a great deal of reviewers criticizing the author for his choice of mature dialect that the teenagers used throughout this book.  Please keep in mind several children and young adults (teenagers) while seriously ill tend to home school and do a great deal of reading because lets face it you can only watch so much television and read so many kiddie books.  Which then tends to broadening the children's horizons and they find themselves reading books that they never thought they would read.  So for this instance, I felt that the usage of language was appropriate between Hazel and Gus, let's face it these two were beyond their ages maturity wise because of the things that they were going through.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1W3T1PXL4VEC?ASIN=014242417X	Prepare for Rain	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I absolutely love this book. My friend recommended it for me, and I honestly have to say that I really balked at the idea of romance and the whole idea of the main character having cancer. Then I stumbled on John and Hank Green's youtube channel and, consequentially, nerdfighterria. I thought it was brilliant, and then I discovered that it was the same John Green. By this point, I was getting a little intrigued about reading TFiOS, but I had  too many other books that I had already started and demanded my attention. Once I saw the video of himself reading the first chapter that John Green posted on his channel, however, I immediately checked the price for the e-book. It was $3.99. I bought it and I have no regrets. I loved the characters, the plot was romantic without being slutty, and the pacing was perfect. I absolutely love the writing style, too. I totally recommend it to anyone. Just as long as they read the last, like, half at home with a bunch of Kleenexes. That's why I titled this review the way I did: When I was about 70% through it, I was reading before I went to bed. I looked at the clock once; it was eleven p.m.. I looked at the clock again; it was 1 a.m. and I had finished. There were tears streaming down my face and if I had been in public when I read it, people would have stared at me like I was a psychopath. Trust me, I've finished sad books in public before. Not something I would like to do again....</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R184FZECN57JK5?ASIN=014242417X	John Green is an evil genius	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book took me less than 10 hours to read, and I must say it was probably some of the best hours of my life! 5 star book all the way! I literally (as Gus would say) felt these two teens pain throughout the entire novel. John Green is an evil genius who knows how to tug on your heart strings and make you fall in love with two fictional characters. Hazel and Gus had the most epic whirlwind romance. Starting out as mere strangers and ending as best friends, girlfriend/boyfriend, lovers, and most of all each others salvation. How do you ask did the save each other? Well Hazel had felt like she was a ticking time bomb, a grenade, to anyone who cared for her until she met Gus and fell in love. Gus was saved by being able to feel true love from someone who wouldn't pity him because of his missing leg and knew what he has suffered. This novel is a great love story with dare I say, a s***ty ending that had me bawling my eyes out at page 256 and nothing entirely to sad had happened yet. I would love to tell you what this novel is about but I feel it would ruin it. A novel this beautiful needs to be read first hand without being told what it's about. I decided to read this book after seeing the end of a preview for the movie not knowing what any of it was about, but knowing I wanted to see the movie. I recommend you read this before you see the movie. It made me look forward to sitting in the uncomfortable theater chairs.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1MHNN46NZJ3X0?ASIN=014242417X	It is now clear that John Green has no faults.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">John Green has officially revolutionized this era of writing. His writing almost makes you feel more sophisticated, or like you now have not more knowledge only because of the fact that you read his book. This book had an unexpected turn of events that left me crying. Now keep in mind that I am not a crying  person. I've  only cried after Marley and Me, The Hunger Games, and one of the books from the Maximum Ride series. I was weary about reading this book because I usually don  like  reading cancer books for the same  reason Hazel didn't like what people were saying on Augustus`s wall. But Mr. Green had enough sense to realize this. Undoubtedly because Green is an amazing and intelligent man. Not only when he has his Author Cap on, but also when he is doing  his History Crash Course videos on YouTube. I am going to bring this review to a close before I give away the climax or the ending or start getting all boring and nostalgic on you fellow readers. So my final statement is: read this  book and try not to cry.<br/><br/>P.S. If any other authors or future authors are still reading this (congrats:)) I'll give you  a tip: if you want your book labeled as a National Tear Jerked, just add a heartfelt message from a removed character-. Oops.... I just gave away the ending.... sorry!<br/><br/>Live life  to the fullest because others would give anything to do just that.<br/>  Okay,<br/>  Joy Mason<br/>  14 yrs.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1HRL6JPW61G44?ASIN=014242417X	A Must Read!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is one of my favorite books. Coming from someone who doesn't really read, this book really got to me. It made me feel and have sympathy for the characters. This amazing book was about two lovers that both battle with cancer. They are young teens that fight everyday for their lives. They eventually fall in love. Later on, we'll find out what Hazel Grace really saved her ""10"" for. This book is a romantic tragedy. The moral of the story is really living and loving life to the fullest because we never know what will happen. Cancer patients are fighters and are not ""mistakes"". They are not responsible for their illness. The book does not compare to the movie at all. If you really read the book carefully, it is really easy to pick out the differences the movie portrays compared to the book. You can probably read this book over and over again and never get bored and will never lose the feeling the author sets for his readers. This was a brilliant book and highly recomended for all people of all ages. The reason why I gave this book five stars is because being a teenager, this is the perfect love story. Every teenage girl wants something like this to happen to them. This book is very relatable and understandable. The author puts an image in his readers minds while reading what's happening in the story. ""The Fault in Our Stars"" is definitely a must read and will not be a dissapointment.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1XVDB0Y0VGB75?ASIN=014242417X	very well done, but is it a teen book?	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">When I started reading this book I didn't realize that it was a teen book. However it was good so I kept with it. The basic premise; teen with terminal lung cancer meets in remission teen at support group and they begin a romantic relationship that is built around their love of books. I won't say more and spoil the outcome for you.<br/><br/>What makes this book great is the writing. Its very intelligent and witty and captures teenagers as they actually are, rather than two dimensional vampire book constructs. A little bit swearing, a little bit sexy, insecure, just like the real deal. The reality of dealing with cancer day to day adds another dimension. What makes it unique is that the adults in the story are also captured in a very real way, unlike some books where they are simply place holders around the young story line.<br/><br/>There are some heavy topics in there. Death, of course. But also, some sophisticated concepts like existentialism. My eleven year old (a very mature reader) wanted to read this and I told her she needed to wait a couple of years more, not because of the sexy bits (although that is a valid point) but because the ideas were a bit big for her brain just yet.<br/><br/>In summary, a great read. I do not, repeat, do not like those syrupy romantic cancer type stories, and this is not one of those. Real and gritty, and written with true heart rather than movie of the week sentiment.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2WWW26KROYWR2?ASIN=014242417X	Gorgeous book about death and dying, loving and letting go	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I'm not going to laminate about the prose of this book, or the plot, or even the brilliance of John Green...all of that has been done, so instead, I want to take this opportunity to address some of the concerns that have been mentioned in other reviews: The characters.<br/><br/>It is true, Gus (Augustus) and Hazel (Hazel Grace) are older than their age, which can be a bit jarring if you're expecting to read a book about our over-indulged, over-spoiled youth. Gus and Hazel speak throughout the pages with voices older then they chronologically are, but that is a ""side-effect"" of dying, which is a ""side-effect"" of cancer. So, no, we're not dealing with children who fill their days with homework assignments and gossip...we're dealing with children who live in a very adult world where their have faced their own mortality and address it the way anyone would--with grace, humor, practicality and hope. They are authentic both in their blood and bone, and their grief of accepting which is, to us, unacceptable -- their own deaths.<br/><br/>The point is this: They simply and wholly live on different plane. So we cannot read them the way we read Bella and Edward, or Katniss and Peta, their other YA contemporaries when it comes to star-crossed lovers. If you do, undoubtably you will be in for a culture shock. They don't live in an otherworld, we are the ones, in this case, that live in an otherworld.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RRZ5BLS549J3P?ASIN=014242417X	Missed opportunity.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I might be in the minority here, but this book isn't as great as all the hype made it out to be.<br/><br/>I like it.  Overall, the book reminds me of books like 'Catcher in the Rye' or 'Perks of Being a Wallflower', only with a girl that has cancer... which makes her complaints and overall depressing outlook justified.<br/><br/>Cancer is a touchy subject for a lot of people. I found this book a little lacking on the dark cancer front.  It went from a girl with cancer, to a flirtation story, to an adventure to meet someone story, to a love story, back to the cancer to end the book.<br/><br/>I found myself enjoying the adventure part of the story more than any other part.  I step back from this book and ask myself, could this have worked without the cancer aspect.  It definitely could have, but would it have been as good or eye catching... most likely not.<br/><br/>I'll say again... cancer is a bad thing, but as far as this book goes... I think cancer was used as a touching point to get people talking about this book and eventually having people read it since they heard so much about it.<br/><br/>This book had the chance to observe a few people with a disease that can really make a person feel like less of a person.  It could have went to a dark place and observed some of the truths within cancer, but instead it decided to focus on a love story and visiting an author to try to talk about a book.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3T8SU1J5G3W72?ASIN=014242417X	Sobbing with joy and sadness, this fantastic book was eloquently well written and I wholly recommend it	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book made me cry through a half of a box of tissues. Having known and loved a family member who lost the battle with cancer that was made of him, this novel is a great comfort.<br/>For young persons going though loss, this is a fantastic insight into the lives we don't usually get to see. When cancer patients don't identify as people dying of cancer, they're people living. Hazel is an emotional immature 16 year old who is too book smart for her own good. Augustus is a confident young person who refuses to let cancer control his life. They meet at a support group that doesn't seem supportive. They bond over literature, both life changing and deplorable novels. The need for immediacy isn't noticed for a little while, until you understand that the one who has been told she will not survive her cancer, outlived one who is told is I'm remission.<br/>People with cancer live, love and laugh just as much as people who are cancer-less. John Green wrote this about his experience in a children's cancer hospital, and it is evident he took the time and patience to notice and care about more than the patients dealing with their diagnosis.<br/>This novel will bring you to tears time and time again. They're worthy tears, knowing that there are kids with cancer who love freely and don't get hung up on who they're afraid to hurt. And there are people who will always remember those who they love, pain or not.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3J34N00J0PUXO?ASIN=014242417X	Not the best John Green	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Well, this is a book about kids with cancer. Or snarky, intelligent, extremely self-aware teenagers with cancer, I should say. I mean, this is a John Green book after all.<br/><br/>Here's the short version: cancer girl Hazel meets cancer survivor Augustus at a cancer kid support group, they fall in love and talk about death and morality and stuff. There is also a sub-plot about tracking down the reclusive Dutch author of a book about a teenage girl with cancer. But mostly there's a lot of talking.<br/><br/>I think John Green does a great job of putting the reader in the shoes of someone fighting cancer. Hazel and Augustus spend a lot of time demolishing the cliches that surround Kids With Cancer.<br/><br/>That said, there's not a lot going on here. We know how this kind of story ends (spoiler: someone dies) and the mystery to be solved is not that compelling. Also, Green has taken the character trope of the Manic Pixie Dream Girl and managed to turn that character male. The name of that character is Augustus Waters. Hazel and Isaac (another cancer kid) I found believable. Augustus I did not.<br/><br/>Overall, I'd rate this book as Just Okay. It's kind of heavy in places, and it does a good job of giving us the perspective of someone with cancer, but it's light on plot and it's not particularly revelatory.<br/><br/>If you want to read John Green at his best, check out Paper Towns instead.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R29PTD706SUU8?ASIN=014242417X	wonderfully sad	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I never would have chosen this book.  I despise crying, I am not a romantic and just the brief description of this book tells you that both of these things are inevitable.  However, I am a member of a book club and one of the things I enjoy about it is being forced out of my comfort zone.<br/>This was a completely enthralling story despite my best efforts to loathe it.  Although it is categorized as YA, it was superbly written with some very real observations put forth in such a lovely combination of words that I stopped several times to reread the passage and, yet, still flew through it in record time.  In fact, I copied the introduction to my book club before even starting Chapter 1 because it held such thought-provoking  meaning. That being said, don't skip the intro!<br/>I love the reality of these characters.  I love their humor, their wit, their feelings, their life and, yes, even their mortality.  Without the hardships they face they wouldn't have been the same.  And since they are only fiction, I must say that without the hardships they face they wouldn't have been written and I wouldn't have been just slightly changed, for the better, after having read their story.<br/>Of you are a romantic, read this book.  If you are into drama, read this book.  If you like realism, read this book.  If you are suffering or healthy, a parent or a child, if you just love good writing, read this book.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1ONATICFK1PSV?ASIN=014242417X	Great Read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I've read other Green novels with mixed feelings, but I really liked this novel most.<br/><br/>I struggle with these books because sometimes I find Green's characters a bit unrealistic. You have perfect Alaska who is allegedly so smart and beautiful and funny, but is a tragic mess... But the only indication we have of her intelligence is a few comments she makes in class. Then, there is Margo and she is this perfect person who doesn't care what anyone thinks, but spends her whole life having the privilege of beauty and money. They just seem so... annoying, honestly.<br/><br/>But, this is so much better. Yes, it still has bit of the cliche descriptions you would expect to see for this genre. However, it is much more down to Earth. Green still manages to throw in a big, existentialist theme, but given the context, it is much more warranted. Moreover, he takes a fresh perspective on cancer, this word and disease we have all grown too familiar with, which is unexpected, but incredibly poignant. It definitely makes you re-think how individuals with the diagnosis approach life and death. Most importantly, the death in the book seems much more real than his comparable novels. I think that is what makes this book stand out from the others; it is inherently more realistic and truthful. From the flawed characters to the thematic representations, it is much more life-like than others. Worth the read.</span>"

2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1DVLRWKARH624?ASIN=014242417X	THE ONE BOOK YOU SHOULD READ	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Wow. What an amazing book. I've always believed that a book that can make me connect so profoundly with its characters that I cry when tragedy befalls them is a remarkable book written by an amazing author. This book is that and so much more. It is about young cancer patients; two in particular, and their journey. It's about life, love, happiness, sadness, and ultimately death. The honesty of these characters, and the brutality of the disease, made me realize that we healthy people often take our blessings for granted. It reminded me to be more appreciative of each and every moment. As a parent, I can so relate to the parents in the story, and their love for their children. It's a love that knows no boundaries; that's unconditional; a love that will carry on throughout eternity.<br/><br/>I absolutely fell head-over-heels, madly in love with Augustus Waters. Everyone should be so blessed as to have a Gus in their life. Hazel Grace and I would've been friends. I will carry these two characters with me for a long time. There's a story-within-the-story here, about another book and author. I had to Google them to see if they really exist. Mr. Green is THAT convincing. This is my first John Green novel but it most definitely won't be my last.<br/><br/>Please, if you read nothing else, read this book. It's that good. I'm just sorry I only have 5 stars to give it because it deserves many more.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3E21K9JYWN0Q7?ASIN=014242417X	Loved It	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars is definitely a book that most people have heard of because of the ever so popular movie, or the popularity of the book itself in the first place. However, after reading it for the first time myself, I would have to say that there is definitely a reason that it is so widely read. It is about reality in a lot of ways. The reality of a girl dying with cancer, and her struggles along with a gorgeous romance that boldly comes in from the beginning with a boy named Augustus Waters. What keeps the audience on their toes is not just the relationship between these two youngsters, or the anxiety of not knowing when someone will abruptly pass away or not, but for myself, it would be the complete rawness of the main character, Hazel, and how she sees the world—a place of lost hope and dreams, the opposite of most stories you hear in the media about a smiling, hopeful girl with cancer. It is the reality that opened my eyes. The characters to me, seem quite real, which is not what I experience reading in all books. The last pages are now slightly crinkled and deformed because of the endless tears from my face that are now dried up. But I would read it again in a heartbeat, because I learned so much about life, death, truth, experience, and so much more. Although, heart-breaking, I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who is ready to view life in a different perspective.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3CMFC0I5QQIT7?ASIN=014242417X	No words.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">All I can say about this book and John Green is that he (it) will tear you apart. As a young writer I look up to Green and can only hope my work will be half as good as his.<br/>  On a different note The Fault In Our Stars is amazing. It only gets better the more you read it.( I cried when I first read it. And, I cried when more the second and third.) The sarcasm and witt will make you want to laugh until your stomach hurts. This story is told as truthful as most teens see the world (I should know for I am one.) I can only agree with Gus 'My thoughts are stars I cannot fathom into constellations'.<br/>  I can guarantee one day this book will be considered a classic. And, one day when the people of my generation are old, walking/rolling around in wheel chairs and diapers our grandchildren will discuss this book. We will remember it as one of the greatest love stories of our time. One of the sickest love stories of our. And, it will bring some of us to tears. I have words to describe how amazing this book is. If you haven't read it and are thinking about doing so there isn't really a choice. Read the book.<br/>  (But, just so you know get comfort food, tea, tissues, fuzzy socks, comfortable pj's and a blanket. The feels in this book are extreme. I almost drowned in my own tears the three times I first read it in 2013.)<br/>  Thanks John Green (Even though what you did was unacceptable.)</span>"

2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3QEIZBFM8PGQ0?ASIN=014242417X	Still waiting..	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">To understand what all the hype is about. Yes..it was sad. I cried a little, because dying is sad, especially if it is children dying...but this book just didn't flow for me, and I believe it's because there were characters half my age using words and language too big for them. I'm not an unintelligent person, nor have I ever been, even at that age, but I never in a conversation spoke like the characters in this book. Written, maybe, but never while talking to live people.<br/><br/>My other issues (spoiler alert) are...she spends the better part of the book obsessed with how her book ended and wanting to know what happens...I understand this concept. She realizes that when you die, the story just ends...you don't get too find out what happens to your friends, your family, your hamster (or at least, if you do not believe in an afterlife, as she does not)...so I accept her obsession with finding out an ending..knowing she will face her own end soon.<br/><br/>And then she just stops caring, and calls the author it for being self important and using big words....even though she and her friends talk in a manner that no teenager on earth uses...finally...it just ends. No resolution. If she had died, like the book within the book, that would be one thing...I guess I was just excluding more. Especially in a book made into movie that people go on and on about. I guess I just don't get it...</span>"

2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2NMBYWT7ALZX5?ASIN=014242417X	Hate/Love Relationship with the device of torture that is TFIOS	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book has ruined my life.<br/><br/>Literally, for two days after completing this book I was sad and angry at John Green. I don't even know what the dude looks like but I was furious at him for constructing such an instrument of emotional torture. I get that this was supposed to be real and meaningful and give us a sense of purpose in the pain and loss of young life from a realistic view. I get that Augustus dies because that's just how cancer works and Hazel was all sad about it and it was terrible, but at the end she realizes that she was lucky to have loved him and because of that relationship, among the others that he had his life had meaning and purpose. And because of his contribution to others they were in turn able to contribute positively to their loved ones and into perpetuity.<br/><br/>I totally understand all of that. And it's beautiful, but it also makes me cry and want to hug my children and want to call up people that I haven't talked to in forever and just connect with this once more. So it's a good novel I guess because it challenges you to think and is moving in a way that makes it a worthwhile read.<br/><br/>But it also made me cry, and I dislike crying. A lot. I also strongly dislike that he chose someone so likable to kill in order to make his point. But I guess that is the point, in a way.<br/><br/>Read at your own risk, folks. And bring tissues.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RAMPA6IMW5FQ7?ASIN=014242417X	Beautiful.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Amazing! I absolutely loved this book. It was so charming, heart-warming, real, and at times really funny. I couldn't put it down. I was a little nervous at first when the main character, Hazel, began speaking because she sounded like a typical teenager and I didn't want to be stuck reading another dime-a-dozen mindless teen drama book but this was far from that. This book really hit home for me and at times I found it difficult to read for the simple fact that my father was diagnosed with the same type of cancer as Hazel and struggled with some of the same problems. It was an unforgettable experience reading from Hazel's point of view as I often found myself wondering if my father felt this way before he passed on last year. I cannot stress enough how real this book is, no outlandish schemes, no far-fetched hard to swallow occurrences, nothing like that. Not too lovey-dovey but not dry either so if you're a guy and you're worried about this being a sappy chick novel, never fear, this book is VERY gender-neutral. The love that Hazel and Augustus share is a short-lived one but beautiful all the same. You don't need to spend 80 years with someone to create a beautiful love story. For sometimes star-crossed love is the loveliest of them all. Long story short, this book is nothing short of an instant classic must read and I would recommend it to anyone. Young, old, guy or girl.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R27K8QVK0YPYMS?ASIN=014242417X	Hope and living life to the fullest - even when you know it will be a short one	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Great Book  I read this book even knowing the subject and I would cry – I don’t usually read books I know will be sad, but my 13 year old daughter was reading it and asked me to read it so we could discuss the book.  Well I started crying on page 200 and didn’t stop for a few days after I finished- I was not able to discuss the book without crying for over a week.  The thought of the book makes me tear up still- I will not be seeing the movie.<br/><br/>That said- I have to say that the book is well written and flows well.  The story was gripping and real along with sweet and beautiful all at the same time.  I loved the relationship between Hazel and Gus, they both knew how important it was to grab on to each day and live it to its fullest.  The descriptions of these two drinking champagne made me feel I was with them enjoying the evening, intimacy, food and the view.<br/><br/>The subject is a sad one, but this book is well worth reading even with the tears-sobs actually at one point.  Life is short and for some shorter than it should be – cancer is not fair – life is not fair – this book will make you think about how you are living your life and the wasted time you need to take back so you have no regrets at the end – life ends for all of us at sometime – live it now!!!<br/><br/>That is the message I got for this book – if you don’t mind tears then read this book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3VZ8P7Q2G2PBN?ASIN=014242417X	eh	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I'm sorry but everyone kept telling me that the ending was so good and nothing I expected. I mean it was okay, I didn't particularly like it but I guess that's life, but I did know someone was gonna die like that's so obvious. And I didn't cry at his book once tbh and everyone made this book a bigger deal than it actually was. It was a really good book I admit but everyone made it sound like god wrote it and every word was gold. But that's not the case. And I'm not trying to be mean or whatever but I think everyone made a big deal about it bc they had cancer. Which contradicts what john green is trying to say. He said he didn't want people with cancer to be treated differently yet here people are, adoring this book for all the wrong reasons. Most people don't even get the deep meaning behind the book, they just like it bc they have cancer and that's sad and Gus dies. But if ur deep you understand that the reason Gus died is bc he's a hero but backwards. Throughout the book Gus talks about leaving a mark and a scar in the world so I won't be forgotten. And usually a hero startes out weak and then gets strong. But bc of Gus' metaphors and thinking on life he has to do the process backwards. He starts off strong and healthy but gets weaker and weaker and dies bc that's what he needs to do in order to reimagine and define his definition if a rich and life-worth-living life.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RJB7S8JGGLLWX?ASIN=014242417X	Sharpened truths make for ragged lies...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I'll forget the review questions promptly after this first statement. Okay.<br/>The lies of life are so soft and simpering in kind, so often we have such desperation for the truth that we forget that we construct lies to suit fictions, instead of to dull truths. Death is never so fair a subject to lie about... But it is a lie to ignore, and a jagged truth to address: one that leaves such ragged lies in its wake as we progress infinitely towards the finite termination of identity.<br/>The existentialist in myself without a qualm, agrees.<br/>But truth is not the subject of this story, no more than a story can be a sentence and the verb to that sentence, a lie. Factually, encompassing a story with a word is plainly sophomoric, to both live and fictional subjects: so, naturally, I will love this story as an unambiguous dagger in my heart. Just a passing glance, but if any reader of mine have truly felt a passing touch to the heart sharply, I will assume none walked away unscathed by battle. And investment in the truth of that physical blade aside, I am invested in the metaphors of this book, and left to ponder my frail lies as they stream now softly from the curtain rods in my soul.<br/>I'll pass this stony hearted fool by in a short infinity, but you offered my whole self a review, whomever you are.<br/>And he hopes you chose wisely, in you endeavor of this story.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2T18FLYWMUL2G?ASIN=014242417X	Sad to see you go....	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Read this book for book club.  Glad I did.  I definitely had a connection with the book.  My sister died of ovarian cancer almost six years ago.  I cried because I went through her cancer with her....especially, I was crying for those last few weeks of her life.  It wasn't pretty; it wasn't fun; it wasn't comforting.... She did get to say her good-byes...much like Gus needed to have his friends write his eulogy.  He needed to hear it; they needed to say it.  That was difficult for me because my sister had asked me to write her obituary for her.  Not just write it, but she wanted me to read it to her to get her ""approval!""  Yikes!  That's when I sobbed the most with this book--when they were sharing their eulogies with Gus!  I'm sure it was meant to be comforting to him.  I've not read any of John Green's other books, but I might try another one.  I liked his writing style.  I was a little disappointed because there were some language concerns that would keep this book out of the classroom.  But definitely it was real!  I should mention that I liked the irony of this book--who you were expecting to die--Hazel Grace--and you still know she will, didn't!  The ""healthy"" one of the group, well, that was Gus.  I also like to think that Gus and Hazel Grace will be together in Heaven!<br/><br/>I think we'll have a great book-club discussion about this book!</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2PQBT4GIYWNIZ?ASIN=014242417X	Captivating and Pure	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I am a 17-year-old girl that reads a lot of books, and I read very quickly.  I read this one in two sittings.  I read a little over half of it the night before, then finished it when I woke up the next morning.  I kind of regret it in that I rushed through such a powerful book in so little time, but it was hard to stop reading.<br/><br/>The Fault in Our Stars hit a little closer to home for me than most people.  My sister passed away from a congenital disease when she was just a couple years younger than Hazel and Augustus Waters (I feel the need to use his whole name, as you will see when you read the book), so this novel echoed many feelings and experiences in my life.  I found myself relating to Hazel in a very natural way, mostly due to the incredible skill with which John Green creates his characters.<br/><br/>However, The Fault in Our Stars isn't just a book about young people with cancer, and you don't need to have a relationship with terminal illness to be utterly changed by this book.  It made me laugh, cry, and ultimately reconsider my perspective on life and death.  The main characters handle life, dying, and love with incredible maturity that makes you fall in love with them as they do with each other.  If there is one book you plan to read this year or if, like me, you read so many that you lose track, this book should be it.  You will not regret it.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3IYVMUCSS9FR?ASIN=014242417X	There are stages of dying and living. Carpe Diem.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">As a Hospice volunteer I got a lot out of the book.  As a Cancer survivor (for now) I enjoyed Hazel's and Gus's individual journeys to acceptance of our Universe and the seemingly randomness of God's plans for us as individuals, lovers, families and friends.  Leaving traces of kindness is greater than piles of money or a littered landscape of greed and uncaring.  Like Romeo and Juliet or the young couple in the gift of the Magi, Hazel and Gus cared about each other more than themselves. That is love. We can experience and see love and a beautiful Universe all the time if we look for it.  Love is something to be given and then you receive as both Hazel and Gus found out.  Love can be shared with parents, siblings, friends and even strangers who may make your wishes come true or your day just a little better.  We all need to be content just enjoying the presence of others and the small amout of time we have on this earth that God has given us.  ""The Fault in Our Stars"" is a modern day ""A Separate Peace"".  It is thought provoking and demands teenagers and adults alike to question the meaning of life and how we choose live it. It can generate deep discussions with family, friends, book clubs and students. This book bridges some of the gaps between men and women, parents and children, physically perfect and physically challenged as well as the living and the dying.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1YRAJS40PTJ23?ASIN=014242417X	good but not for me	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The book was good but for some reason it just wasn't for me. Some sections seemed to drag longer than they needed to. At some points it seemed a little too obvious that the words were being written by a middle aged man with a rather vast vocabulary which didn't exactly fit with the fact that it is supposed to be written from the point of view of a sixteen year old girl. But hey, when a sixteen year old girl has cancer and graduates early and is a homebody perhaps she uses the spare time to expand her vocabulary. who knows? Overall, kudos to the author. So many people that I know really liked this book and this movie. Though it wasn't for me, I'd encourage others to give it a shot. Word of warning tho, it seems books about people with illness have gone from one extreme (of super encouraging/ inspirational) to the next (borderline defeatist, or pessimistic ) in an attempt to capture what people with terminal illness actually think and feel. This book is the latter. Perhaps it is more honest, I don't have a terminal illness so I don't know. Someone I was very close to, however, did have a terminal illness and he died way way WAY before I thought he would. A week or two before they were going to release him to go home actually. And he did not adopt the , woah-is-me-nobody-understands-what-im-going-through-and-all-your-attempts-to-make-me-feel-loved-are-futile attitude.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3SX0XPNZG3ANG?ASIN=014242417X	Pulls you in, but still has flaws	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">TFiOS is an attractive book; it's sleek and sexy, with characters who speak with both humor and sadness.<br/>My critique would be that the author uncovers many threads but doesn't seem to be interested in following through. There are so many side stories going on that we as the readers are never fully invested in.<br/>Also, I thought Kaitlyn was a really irritating character. What was she implying at the end, that maybe Gus didn't love Hazel enough to leave something behind for her, or that he was secretly having an affair? I didn't get it.<br/>Many times characters seemed like caricatures, not real people. But considering the whole premise of the novel, I suppose it works.<br/>Also, I think Green doesn't understand girls. Hazel gives these nihilistic, existentialist, logical philosophies but then goes, ""he is so hot."" Mr. Green, I don't think girls work that way. While we're at it, why did Hazel think V for Vendetta was a boys movie? That movie is amazing no matter what sex you are. It's political and deals with oppression and authority, NOT a boys movie at all. I thought Hazel would have appreciated it.<br/>I did love the book, but in retrospect there is a lot to be said for some of the character development and plot. Interesting, but anyone who thinks it's the Bible needs to re-prioritize their bookshelves. Not the best thing since sliced bread, but okay.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1VQBJZADQHZXP?ASIN=014242417X	Stands up to the talents of john green	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I was completely ready to poo-poo this as more teen novel junk food, until I put the author together with the clever, geeky,funny-as-hell middle-aged man who most computer people know as 'half the blog brothers.' If you are worried about this being just a cheap sell-out or a Nicholas sparks wannabe, I have great news: the fault in our stars is anything but that.<br/><br/>The narrator has all the smarminess and observant qualities as a chuck palahniuk character, but with a much more real-life feel. I was reminded over and over again of what it was like to have that unique teenager wisdom of half-childness with adult capacity for understanding. Even without the fatal illness, the characters would have felt full on their own.<br/><br/>But the real gem for me was the philosophical thoughts on life, love and death that saturate this read. Sure, green's not coming up with anything new here; but he brings so much of himself and his life into the pages that the frequent revelations aren't canned to be 'stitched into a pillow', as his protagonists would say. Instead, they have a warm, open-ended feel, like an intimate conversation between long-time friends.<br/><br/>If the fault in our stars doesn't sound like a book you would typically read, read it anyway. If it is your usual cup of tea, read it too: this is one case where both camps will come away very happy.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1J457JVBRGCM4?ASIN=014242417X	A book about cancer that's not about cancer	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Warning a few SPOILERS AHEAD:<br/>First there were a few things I disliked only a little.  Gus died, although this made me cry my eyes out, I see why it was necessary, In a way I can't really explain.  Second, I felt it was too short, maybe I've been reading trilogies too much, but I felt there should have been more pages for extension of relationships.  Now for the many things I did like.  This was a real book.  I complained about the death of Tris in Divergent , because no one wants a character to die. That death was meaningless, this one meant something. There was no fake junk in this book, this was completely authentic and I loved it for once.  This was told straight up by Hazel, she said the stuff I would find myself thing;crying in the moments I would cry.  She was a real person, she didn't suck it up all the time and had weak moments like real people.  This book puts a whole new perspective on life for people and as I write this I'm starting to cry again.  As shailene Woodley said ""It's a book about cancer but it's not about cancer."" It's about living your life and how life ""works"". It's not gonna be all sunshine and rainbows and John Green puts this into perfect perspective.  I would recommend this book to everyone and I think Hazel and Gus would agree.  This is a mind changer.  It's mostly not a sappy death story, but a real book.  A real real book.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3N8VSD0NYON2B?ASIN=014242417X	Really a delight!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">My granddaughter said this was her new favorite book, and she reads a LOT of books so I figured I'd better read it too, in spite of the somewhat off-putting hype surrounding it. I really liked it, and really liked the author, whom I knew nothing about until after I'd finished the book.<br/><br/>The characters are both precious and precocious, but pretty much in the same way that many young people naturally are, and I think that's why they appealed to me so much. They felt interesting and believable and lived ""normal"" lives in the midst of the chaos that cancer wracked them with. I know that to be an authentic part of living with catastrophic circumstances: you do have a lot of really serious and dramatic things to deal with, but you also have to do something about living your life. You still get holes in your jeans, still need the occasional haircut, and maybe even, unexpectedly, meet someone you want to fall in love with.<br/><br/>The book unfolded that way; with both cataclysm and the mundane, marking some remarkable young lives that were full and purposeful, even if they were destined for brevity. Later I learned that John Green based Hazel's character on a real person he knew, and saw some of the videos she made before her death a few years ago. Even better. ""Hazel"" was awesome. Her life was full. It felt really good to know that.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RYG2MTTUBRAEL?ASIN=014242417X	Loved It!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars by John Green is about a teenage girl, Hazel, who has cancer and attends support meetings with other teenagers who share similar stories. One day she meets Augustus, who is in remission. They share a connection that links their lives together.<br/><br/>I was curious to read this novel because on one hand it was being praised so highly, and on the other hand, the realism of the characters was being judged. To top it off, a movie was being released. I’m always a sucker for books that are adapted as movies. As soon as I saw a trailer, I ran to get my hands on the book. Right before the movie came out I finished reading The Fault in Our Stars.<br/><br/>The characters were witty and their humor was dark, but I found it hilarious. Of course their teenagers, and teenagers don’t normally act or discuss things like these two characters, but they are fictitious. Their lives call for them to have matured sooner than your average teen. I loved the novel and had high hopes for the film.<br/><br/>It’s been almost two weeks ago since I’ve seen it, which gave me enough time to get my emotions in check. I came out of that theater with my eyes red and swollen. Even though the movie adaptation was not completely like the novel I was extremely happy with it.<br/><br/>I give The Fault in Our Stars novel and movie 5 out of 5 stars.<br/><br/>Check out my other reviews at avidreads.weebly.com</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3OW0KWOMF7U71?ASIN=014242417X	Teen Dreams	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This seems to be the new hit of the season. A modern version of a teen love story between two teens that are experiencing the devastation of a cancer diagnosis. Something that far too many young persons are having their innocents robbed by this all thought consuming disease. Girl and boy meet in a group therapy class. The story developes as their relationship grows. A story that all who appreciate a first love story will appreciate. Tender, funny and thought provoking page after page. As a 65+ person, I put my mindset as I read this into the shoes of my 13 and 16 year old granddaughters and felt the true bond and emotions of the two main characters.<br/>It was not a morbid read, as one might think, but I found it inspiring and thoughtfully written. An easy read and one to surely make an impact on the young reader. In fact any grandparent  parent should read it along with their teens and then have a ""book review"" and share their feelings and open a dialog into a ""teen illness"" that is sure to touch someone in their circle of family and friend or neighbors and school. Embrace the story and share the positive vibes that this young couple share with the reader. I have not seen the movie but I plan to. My advise is to always read the book before seeing the movie, to make sure you can fill in all the missing parts that sometimes movies skip.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R29VR65FZGHLDE?ASIN=014242417X	John Green does it again	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">In my opinion John Gren has completely outdone himself with this new book. He sets you up and then slowly breaks your heart in the most painful way possible. And you'll love every minute of it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2EK001XG55314?ASIN=014242417X	Very emotional and Very good	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The average Amazon rating from over 10000 readers of ""The Fault in Our Stars"" is near 5.  I wanted to see if there was a common thread running through the critiques of those who had rated it a ""1"".  I saw ""pretentious"" in a number of reviews but it was applied to a number of different facets of the book - in my quick scanning I didn't note a predominant complaint. I thought it was well done.  I liked Hazel and Augustus very much, though I did find Hazel a bit wearing sometimes.  Do 16 1/2 year olds really speak and think like that? As I approached the end I wondeed what the final paragraphs would be like, and once again my mental drafts were way of.  This is a very emotional ride, certainly not a feel good book, but given the audience and reputation that it has established there were no major surprises, and so the book feels true all the way through.  It does not pull punches, it focuses not only on the two but on their parents and their emotions and pain as well.  I am sure that very few readers got through the book without shedding a tear or two.  Throughout the many down moments, characters and readers mourn for what could have been but, wise beyond their years, Hazel and Augustus appreciate what they did have too, and that knowlege, that 'they'll always have Amsterdam' provides some nice balance for readers as well.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R348T7YLYZ09ZB?ASIN=014242417X	Characters that live forever	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">There was so much hype going into this book, I knew I had to read it. I had heard John Green on YouTube with his history videos that had Harry Potter and Star Wars references. Some of my favorite things.<br/><br/>I love Hazel and Augustus. They are rare species that, once read, will never be forgotten. I like that. I enjoy books like that.<br/><br/>The books is really well written. Really, really well written. Almost so that it seems like John just wanted to show off. Maybe he did, maybe he didn't. But some of the vocabulary was unnecessary. And he ranted quite a bit about theories and physiological things. Nonetheless, very well written. I think the only explanation is that John Green is an alien.<br/><br/>It's hard to find a good book with many pages and fascinating characters. Though I didn't cry, I wanted to, but I was too preoccupied with finding out what was going to happen next, I just simply let my heart break and smile when necessary.<br/><br/>There were a few times I (gently) slammed my Kindle cover shut and announced to my husband, ""I hate John Green."" Why would he make me love Hazel Grace and Gus and Isaac and then it just... sigh. I don't hate John Green. I love him. I love this book. Four stars only because a third of the time I didn't quite understand the necessity of some of the diction.<br/><br/>GREAT book. Read it.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2DTIILP83EGZL?ASIN=014242417X	Lovely	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">There really isn’t anything original I can say about this book and while I didn’t have the life-changing experience like so many others I cannot deny this is a special and important read.<br/><br/>While I loved Hazel and Gus and can recognise how special their relationship was – for me the true love story of this book was Hazel and her mom. The love the two shared for each other was nothing short of stunning and the moments depicted between them were gut-wrenchingly beautiful.<br/><br/>Perhaps because I was prepared for what would happen (thanks to idiotic fangirls on twitter tweeting memes) I didn’t truly feel invested in the story but did experience little bursts of emotion as John Green’s wonderful prose couldn’t help but stir feelings within.<br/><br/>My favourite part of this book has to be its honest and blunt look at living with illness. As someone who has a chronic illness and deals with pain on a daily basis, I recognise that dark humour that is sometimes shocking to those who can’t understand what you're going through but is necessary for your own emotional and psychological survival. I’m so glad John Green didn’t sugarcoat the experience.<br/><br/>Beautifully written with wonderful characters, The Fault in Our Stars is an achingly real and heartbreaking look at the brave struggle for life that so many face every day.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RME2Z9U2E2PM?ASIN=014242417X	This book completely annihilated me.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I nearly wasn't going to read it due to the fact I'm easily reduced to a blubbering mess for days in stories like this. Plus the sense-memory of my own battle with the big ‘C’ just adds to the feels. But as evident of this review I finally caved – and true to form, was not fit for public appearances for at least two days.<br/><br/>I loved how the book gives the reader a glimpse into how undiscriminating cancer is, how it steals your dignity, and how moments of despair and resolve wash over you. It is a heart-warming love story though.<br/><br/>Going into the novel without expectations, and not trying to anticipate the plot let me revel in the beauty of Hazel and Gus, to see the determination and will to experience life through their eyes. There are layers about love, life, survival, death, significance/insignificance (and I could list ten more) in John Greens’ writing that make this an incredible read.<br/><br/>Hazel was quiet and strong, and Gus was devilishly cheeky and debonair. The dialogue is comically dark, which is something I experienced first hand in my personal battle. Humour really does smooth over the inevitability of it all<br/>‘The Fault in our Stars’ has a place in my top ten favourites and I highly recommend it. But be warned: the story may destroy relationships for you forever. Gus is a hard guy to live up to.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R220Y512X1EY2S?ASIN=014242417X	OK then . . .	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">John Green has managed to create a young ""almost a"" woman who reacts and responds to the blessings and woes life offers in a genuinely fresh fashion.  We know why Augustus couldn't keep his eyes off of her.  Hazel Grace thought really honest, often pragmatic thoughts about the life that was hers, and the lives around her.  She shared some of these bold, honest thoughts out loud, and was a kind enough human to keep others to herself.<br/><br/>How we rejoiced when Augustus Waters entered her life, with his unique life energy.  For all young and older health challenged folk anchored in the literal heart of Jesus, living these incredible lives we have been granted one day at a time, with deep pain and tears and sorrows I never want to truly fully know about . . . Well, God bless and keep you until you are gathered completely into the forever heart of Christ, with His unending love and perpetual Light, and may God sustain all who love you and keep you in their hearts and memories.  And may God bless John Green for responding to the sacred nudges of the Holy Spirit, in writing a book full of youthful insights and humor.  Your faithfulness to this divinely inspired task will do its singular work in the infinitely different souls that read your tale, and continue to pause for rest and reflection in the heart of Jesus.  Just lovely.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3R9ITVDOX9TLA?ASIN=014242417X	This book makes all other five-star books seem like four-star books. (Note: Buy a box of tissues, too)	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Firstly, I'd like to say that I both HATE and LOVE everyone who ever dared to even mention this book to me. The truth, the finality, the emotion, and the power of words that are as real as the day is long. Just under four hours were spent on this piece of literature - little more than a dollar for each... a small price to pay for a small sliver of eternity of which I had the opportunity to briefly glimpse into and feel that it was mine. In a fraction of a day, I have became more attached to a handful of fictional characters than I have probably ever been attached to anyone else in my whole life. And, the closing of this book, feels like the closing of my own heart...<br/><br/>Thanks to this book, I am now increasingly more in touch with my emotional side as well as closer to dehydration from the hour I spent crying late into the night - unable to will myself to stop reading except for a few moments in which tears blurred my vision too much to continue. If you think for a moment that you would like to even touch a copy of this book, I strongly encourage you to purchase a new box of tissues first.<br/><br/>I doubt I will ever read another book like this one, not because I cannot bring myself to do it, but because there will never be another in the history of mankind. Thank you, John Green, for these precious few hours... Thank you</span>"

Literally I just got done. As a dry my tears and gather my breathe , I give this book 5 stars. I would give it 10 stars if I could. John Green you moved me with Hazel and Augustus . Every girl wants to have a Augustus Waters in their life if only for five minutes. You open the eyes of many about cancer. You did not sugarcoat it but you also were not to serious about the diease that takes so many good people away from those who loved them so much.  I want to be Hazel so I can experience what true love is if only for a brief moment in time. Oh how you made this book seem so real and in your face. The trip to Amsterdam brought back memories to me as I have been there and you had the Anne Frank house described to a tee and right on point.  I cried heavy tears when you had to take our Augustus away from us in the book. I was so mad at you, for about five minutes. I knew I had to continue to keep reading. The letters Augustus wrote in his final days made my heart swell. What a good guy, even in death. Your supporting characters, Isaac was a great distraction to the broken heart. Hazel parents showed that it was okay to cry in front of your children and to be weak as the parent. What more can I say except THANK YOU. I have become a instant fan of a one JOHN GREEN . Look forward to your next book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2WU1LLV6I2U2Y?ASIN=014242417X	Beatiful Book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book can only be described as beautiful. I mean it. I have read some seriously good books in my time, and this easily makes my top 8 (Hey, 1-7 are the Harry Potters) as one of my all time favorites.<br/><br/>There are several things that I want to talk about in this review, starting with the story.<br/><br/>The story was fantastic. It was about a girl with thyroid cancer (I think. Lost my copy before writing this review. Typical.) Who meets this drop dead GORGEOUS guy at her cancer support group. It's love at first sight for him (as is revealed at the end of the book), but it really takes her months to feel that way about him. When she does start feeling that way for him, they're in Amsterdam, there to meet their favorite author. A few weeks later, something inevitable for many cancer patients occurs.<br/><br/>The writing was even beter than the writing on ""Before I Fall"". My only complaint is how much cursing there was. Even though I'm 14, I HATE cursing. But, I guess that I can overlook it.<br/><br/>The love story was very well written, though it does get a tiny bit mature at one point. Younger readers should skip that scene.<br/><br/>The ending. God. When it was coming, I saw it, but it was still heartbreaking. It made me cry for days after.<br/><br/>If I could give this 100 stars, I certainly would.</span>"

2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1JY5RCLV8HDWL?ASIN=014242417X	Great book for all ages and get a box of tissues too.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Okay, I think you got to put aside all your judgments on Dawson's Creek with their 500 SAT word vocabulary.  That was my first complaint after reading the 1st chapter.  Do teenagers really talk like this?  Well, you got to suspend disbelief for a while and just go with it.  After all, these teenagers have to appear more adult like going through terminal illness.  After a few chapters, you pretty much can figure out that someone is going to fall in love with someone and then something will happen.  I hate to give away anything but you will have to read this book to find out.  Well, I really loved the side characters like Isaac who lost his sight.  The main characters are amazing in the fact they may try hard but really they are human.  I think watching it afterwards on film was a big benefit.  It really proved me wrong that a good book cannot be transferred to film.  The actors in the film are amazing and everything is spot on accurate.  For the ending, it pretty much gives you what you want in terms of happy/sad ending so don't want to ruin it.  I even liked how Isaac took his new view point on things after his procedure and losing his girlfriend.  It isn't easy and much harder once you feel like you lost everything.  So, I put this book up there for mostly young at heart folks who still believe in love during hard times.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3SVPX0JTXEPIK?ASIN=014242417X	Beautiful Sacrifices Only Show Happiness	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Words are useless when speaking about words.<br/><br/>When many of my friends told me about this book they said the cried. They told me how sad or was to read about people falling in love but then potentially losing everything. However, when I read the book I did not see what made it so sad that it brought tears their eyes. When reading this book I laughed. Not at the saddening parts, but at those small parts in between those sad parts.<br/><br/>Every good book has that one part that makes you want to cry and that one part that makes you want to laugh. This book, this beautiful book, was one big part that made you want to laugh AND cry.<br/><br/>What made this book so beautiful was not the laughter nor the tears nor the sacrifices the characters made, but the actions and emotions the characters showed throughout the novel. How when something bad happens each character has an optimistic view and way of dealing with it.<br/><br/>This book should show all young readers the joys in life come only from sacrifice and sadness. How in life there will be times where you want to give up, where you want to just lie on you're bed and listen to music, hoping it will go away. But the key to this, and what this book shows, is that it's not what happens that makes you sad. It's how you look at it.<br/><br/>--14 year old girl--</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RFGPB6AYX240G?ASIN=014242417X	I wanted to like it, but...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I suppose I'm going to be called a heretic for not liking The Fault in Our Stars more than I did. Honestly, I found the book a bit predictable and emotionally manipulative.<br/><br/>When I was a teenager, I read Erich Segal's novel, Love Story. Like The Fault in Our Stars, it was about two young people (in this case, college students) who met, formed an unlikely bond, and fell in love. It was by turns funny and tragic. The characters were witty, and their circumstances engaging. It contained the classic line, ""Love means never having to say you're sorry."" I was completely enamored with the book and movie back in the early 80s. Checking in on Love Story now, though, it seems entirely too precocious for its own good. For me, The Fault in Our Stars reads much the same as Love Story--it's funny and tragic, its characters are witty, its circumstances are engaging, but it's just a little too precocious.<br/><br/>I adore John Green's activism and use of media like YouTube. As a person, he seems like a great guy, with some great ideologies. But I was left feeling as though I'd been force fed The Fault in Our Stars, and that's too bad. I fear that it's going to be one of those books that might not stand the test of time, like Love Story. Give it a decade or two, and we'll realize it was trying just a little too hard.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RRK064IWO0LGI?ASIN=014242417X	Was I over my head, was out of my mind...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">""You don’t get to choose if you get hurt in this world, old man, but you do have some say in who hurts you. I like my choices. I hope she likes hers.""<br/><br/>Ay caramba! I've had this book since before it officially debuted. I friggin' preordered, and I didn't have the guts to read it for a long time. I worried that it was overhyped garbage and that I'd be disappointed. With the movie coming out, I decided that should be enough incentive to read it. Will I see the movie now that I've finished reading it? Probably not, and I am totally fine with that.<br/><br/>What to write about a book that everyone's already read, raved, and reviewed?! Simply that although it was enjoyable, I'm not sure that it blew me away. I think everyone's experiences with love, disease, and death are unique, and for me this one didn't particularly ring true, so it was hard for me to get emotionally involved. I feel like that makes me a monster. Muhahaha! But there it is.<br/><br/>Alright, I'm not a complete monster. I will say that when I was about 77% close to finishing, a small pebble formed in the back of my throat, but I didn't choke up. Also, I'm not sure I completely understood or agreed with Green's philosophizing. I like to think that maybe I'm not worthy of being proselytized; I'm a heathen. Sorry to all the nerdfighters.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R17C17XA1NWEA8?ASIN=014242417X	A Strong Book, Worth Every Tear!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">My son introduced me to John Green (&amp; his brother, Hank) about a year ago when he was studying for a middle school chemistry exam. He had somehow found the Green Brothers' video series, Crash Course, in which John and Hank take all that ""boring"" stuff that teachers teach and make it interesting and memorable. If you have never watched a Crash Course video, go watch one now! So, even though I have been a fan of John Green's for a year, The Fault in Our Stars is the first of his novels that I have read.<br/><br/>I've known about this novel since soon after it was published but have avoided it because a friend had told me she cried through the entire books. I don't like sad books so avoided this book like the plague. Yet, as a John Green fan, I felt like I had to read this book and finally gave in and purchased The Fault in Our Stars when it was on sale for the Kindle.<br/><br/>A day and a half into this novel, I was feeling pretty cocky about the fact that I had yet to cry and then it happened...the tears came and came and came. Yes, this is a tearjerker but it is a beautiful tearjerker and it is worth the read. The Fault in Our Stars reminds us how fragile life is and how short it can be.<br/><br/>Now, I know why so many people have deep feelings about this story...I guess I do, too, now. Go read it, now..</span>"

The thought of losing someone in that painfully slow way that Augustus died is more horrible than anything. Not necessarily that his death was slow and painful, but that he was essentially dying for years.<br/>I do still wonder when Hazel dies and how her mother and father handle it, quite like Hazel and An Imperial Affliction. Does her mother become a better ""Patrick"" than Patrick? Do her parents stay married for their own infinity?<br/>The questions are endless, but the book sadly has an ending. I wish it could go on forever, but I'm sure I wouldn't have enough tears in my body. John Green is a profound author, and I will definitely be reading all of his books that I can find.<br/>And to John, thank you for opening my heart to these characters and making me understand the thoughts of cancer patients a little better than I do now. I will hopefully never know exactly how Hazel or Augustus felt, but I sympathize even though I know they would both hate it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1CUTL5LCYLPD1?ASIN=014242417X	a life I never knew existed	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was the best book I have ever read. I was glued to the book and read it in two days. Parts of the book made me cry because I have never felt the way hazel felt but I can imagine what she felt. This book was very good for me to read because I have never experienced cancer or knowing anyone I loved have cancer. It is very hard to empathize knowing that you are going to die. I understand the world isn't fair and I hate it for being that way.<br/>  In the book I thought Hazel was the one that was going to die because, I read the beginning and remember some one saying that the book had a very sad ending. It surprised me that A.Waters died. My fingernails are bit down to the bed because I was crying and nervous and a mess during the book. Gus had a very bright mind and very intelligent one. His sentences are like quotes put together to form a poem.<br/>  The reason I read this book was because it was a) recommended to me b) my cousins' friend was a fault in our stars fan and I am going to go meet her and we might go see the movie. I wonder why it was called the fault in our stars even though hazel said there was no fault in the stars. I believe it was a metaphor. I very much liked the ending and how it ended with a letter from Gus. When I grow up I hope I will get to explore the universes' perspectives.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3UVMO9PM1VUNA?ASIN=014242417X	heartbreaking	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Heartbreaking. This book had some lovely characters - Hazel and Augustus were well developed, authentic, and intelligent. The book seemed to give an honest and raw look at what it must be like to be young and dying of cancer. It made me think about grief, an afterlife, and the ways we deal or don't deal with the horrific pain of loss or impending loss. There were some parts that were somewhat disjointed and didn't quite connect with me. Hazel and Augustus individually were great characters, but their love story seemed to be one-sided and fell flat somewhat. The author was able to convey the depth and intensity of Gus's love for Hazel but I didn't quite get that impression from Hazel. While it was clear she was attached to him, I didn't quite feel it. Her struggle to deal with her own mortality seemed really authentic though. Her struggle revealed someone who genuinely cared about others and her effect on them. She really was distraught at the thought of harming others, especially if she died. It is easy to see why Augustus loved her so much. Her relationship with her parents was beautiful and the epitome of loving and supportive along with the genuine struggle of caring for a dying child. There was some beautiful, intelligent writing here - definitely worth the read. Just get ready to have your heart broken.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3L9NDMJPZLCGU?ASIN=014242417X	Wow (-Ana a 14 year old)	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book...well that is a far to typical way to start a book review. So instead I shall say this: I did not give much thought to the truths of dying. I am not dying, nor is any one close to me dying in the same way  Hazel and Augustus were dying. But then a thought that most often remains in the back of my mind comes into a dim light: we are all dying. Ha know hasn't that been said before. Well I am not going to say that this book perfectly illustrates the life of someone with cancer, because I have no idea if it truly does or not. But I will say that I think John Green must have got pretty close, because at every moment I could feel Hazel's pain.<br/>  In many ways this book tried to stress that once you get cancer, people only see the cancer, as if instead of it just being another thing about you, it is you. In some ways John Green really opened my eyes and I hope others to the fact it's not all about the cancer. Green had other layers to the book: a love story, the binding of a family, and many other details that definitely made me feel like I was in the book. Not merely reading another sad story of a young girl with cancer.<br/>  I recommend this book to anyone who feels they need a new opinion on some parts of life and how we relate to the universe, and anyone who needs to know a fault in our stars.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R39QLZ8U8KH701?ASIN=014242417X	A touched teen	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book goes beyond my words. Nothing I write, type or think in comparison of this book will be enough for it. I am many of those who cried. I mean bawled like a baby. (MINISPOILER ALERT) After he said I lit up like a Christmas tree you already knew.<br/><br/>I am only 14 so some of this book took time to comprehend though I may say I read it in one day. I felt like they weren't present  today teenagers. I will not complain about that because  it made it far more interesting and it made them different and special. I also spent time preparing my self for the sadness of so I thought what would come of it. But I did not. It made me see things in a new perspective, made me think outside the box. I was touched, not just emotional but intellectually. John green is genius and if you disagree, so be it, lol. I would recommend this book to any of my friends or family members because  it deserves that much.<br/><br/>So thank you to other reviews that convinced me to get this book and to the phenomenal characters who I will never forget. Beautiful Augustus Waters and Hazel Grace Lancaster. And last but not least just how she was eager to find out the ending of Anna's story, I want to know hers. I will not have closure until so. Okay I'm not done. Last thing I promise, I wish it would have had both POV's.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RK57VWT87EXKD?ASIN=014242417X	Sharp. Fantastic. Sad. Triumphant.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">What a truly well-written book. I love the sharp humor and the rich vocabulary and the poignant sarcasm John Green uses in The Fault in Our Stars. This is a young adult book, but Gus and Hazel are mature beyond their years, partly due to the struggles they've endured in their short lifetimes. The book is emotional but it didn't shatter me like I thought it would, probably because Hazel and Gus handle all of the issues in such a mature and matter-of-fact manner.<br/><br/>This novel evokes many questions which it leaves up to the reader to answer...What happens after we die? Is love truly just 'a shout into the void'? If so, is love worth the pain it seems to inevitably cause? John Green doesn't answer this for us in the novel, but gives us the story and leaves it up to us to determine our own answers. And maybe that's the point...maybe there are no predetermined answers here...maybe the answer is different for each and every one of us.<br/><br/>""We're as likely to hurt the universe as we are to help it, and we're not likely to do either.""<br/><br/>""All salvation is temporary...I bought them a minute. Maybe that's the minute that buys them an hour, which is the hour that buys them a year. No one's gonna buy them forever, but my life bought them a minute. And that's not nothing.""</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R32VRA49CYZL0?ASIN=014242417X	My Heart has Henceforth Ceased to Function.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book, these sacred words, are some of the best ever written. John Green, I applaud you. There is no possible way for me fully express all the emotions that overcame me during this read. I can't, nor can anyone, give this book proper justice. Which is exactly what this book is, justice. It does right by those who have been stricken with incurable, unjustifiable...oblivion.<br/><br/>This is not a cancer book, which you will realize fairly quickly if you read the book. It is a love story, it is a tragity, it is the closest thing to reality there is. If you want the cheesy, fabricated, pretentious ""Everything is going to be okay, what an inspirational story, God Bless all"" bull, look somewhere else. This book tells it like it is. There is life, death, happiness sadness. There is no sugar coating.<br/><br/>The characters are beautiful. The imagery is fantastic. The metaphors and messages leave marks (and scars) on you. You will cry. You will laugh. And you will look at the stars and realize that they are not the perfect, pure, divine goodness you have always thought them to be. They have a fault, just like everything else. Everyone else. Like you and me.<br/><br/>Hazel and Augustus (Heck, even Isaac), they stay with you. Then they die, and leave you. Nothing Gold Can Stay, as the poet wrote.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1WX468HGMUQKA?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in Our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Augustus left his mark on Hazel but also in a way they both left their mark on me and changed my views on life. Hazel, my god, you complained this whole story about how AIA ended in midsentence, midword, and you do that to me.. A cruel joke if you ask me...  What happened to your mother, to Gus's parents, to you(!), I mean did you ever receive those letters Augustus sent to Van Huton? If so, what did you think about the letters in its entirety(?), did you cry(?), did you feel angry that Gus didn't send those letters directly to you even though they were not complete, his words were beautiful like the same old Gus. Using all the right words at all the right moments.<br/><br/>In my opinion, Angustus was the best boyfriend ever and I'm glad he was incorporated in the book like he was. He thought me a lot about life with all his metaphors. (I love the one with the cigarette!!!)<br/><br/>Both of these can cancer patients taught me a lot more about life, and I may be like Augustus and try to make the biggest mark I can possibly make in my life. Or, I'll be like Hazel, and have a mark on the ones who care and just go along for.the ride...<br/><br/>In the end, I really enjoyed this book and I recommend this to anyone feeling down because it reminds you that there's always something worse in life.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RNC6MYL5S7S5E?ASIN=014242417X	No Fault In Green's Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Americans are notoriously death shy. Count on us to deny that we are mortal at every turn. If there is a Fault in our Stars, it's self-inflicted...at least in part. Fate cracks our star the rest of the way.<br/><br/>Green's novel unveils death in an especially potent way. Terminal illness, cancer, strikes teenager characters whose lives ought to be ahead of them...that is, if all were right with the stars ...which it never is on only planet on I know of firsthand.<br/><br/>His  characters clash with fate and that makes them multi-dimensional. Each of them looks death in the face courageously; even with considerable humor, which keeps the book from falling into pity or the maudlin, always a potential pitfall with this subject matter.<br/><br/>Green's skillful balance - wit amid crisis - is why the victims of The Fault Our Stars capture our hearts. When did kids get so with it? Clearly the age of Leave it to Beaver rocketed into something way more nuanced. Skillful dialogue creates believable people. They face mortality's predicament with lots of heart of their own and give readers a bit of wisdom on what it takes to process their ordeal.<br/><br/>The Fault in Our Stars takes us where we need to go, on a well-crafted journey that's no holiday, but The Fault in the Stars is worth the read.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2HQK1UEFR252M?ASIN=014242417X	I cried on the jumbotron	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">(Everything until the {#} is spoilers) it was on the day that I had been dragged to a miserably boring baseball game that I reached the part where Agustus died. {#}I was sitting in the stands, which were packed with people, and I started bawling my eyes out. It was so bad that people were giving me tissues and awkwardly patting me on the back and stuff. Then, the guy beside me (who was actually fairly attractive) taps my shoulder and gestures to the jumbotron, where I see my tear stained face staring back at me with a look of horror. I kind of had to put my book down for a moment and I may have ruined a few of the pages with my tears, but after that, I proceeded to keep on reading and crying. I wish I had enough dignity left at that point to tell you that any of this embarrassed me in the least, but honestly, I couldn't have cared less. My heart had just been ripped out of my chest by the sheer pain of the death of a fictional character and yet people were LAUGHING at me? How dare they. I proceeded to suffer through the next hour of the game, having finished the book, staring straight ahead and trying to ignore the numerous sets of eyes trained on me like I was going to break down at any second. So in short, john green literally ruined my life with this terrible, amazing tragedy of a book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1Z6EE95N1GU4V?ASIN=014242417X	An entertaining story, but not a great one	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read this book after seeing so much hype about the movie.  Instead of going to see the movie, I wanted to just read the book. Overall, the story is an entertaining one which leads me to 3 stars. I have complaints as everyone does. 1) too much repetitive introspection. Hazel is a nihilist through and through, and this comes out through her constant thoughts on everything. Introspection is good, but John Green really had nothing to write. Every introspective scene essentially uses the same words and sentences throughout the whole book. He doesn't really get creative, just cuts and pastes practically all of Hazel's thoughts.<br/><br/>2) Hazel doesn't' really develop as a character. She stays the sake rally the whole story, despite all these major things that happen to her and then the story ends. For making this story about Hazel, that seems like not the best character for your story to tell. Of course I assume this is intentional that some people don't change despite life circumstances, but again her repetitiveness just comes across as lazy writing<br/><br/>3) Too much filler. A lot of chapters are just filler where nothing really pertinent to the story occurs<br/><br/>Green told an entertaining story, but not a great one. It's ok- he will be getting rich off of it so kudos to him.</span>"

There is some criticism about whether or not these characters are believable as high school students, and I will assure readers considering this novel, they most definitely are. I went to school with many students just like this. These students would read complex novels or philosophical texts AND play video games or cheesy television shows. That is one of the most compelling attributes of Hazel Grace. She is intellectually and emotionally mature, yet she has a love of reality television. That sort of paradox is completely believable, and it describes many young individuals growing up right now. I listened to an interview with John Green and he talks about he is not interested in writing for adults. His target audience is the coming of age teen. I suspect I am not alone in this, but young adults and adults alike will be changed by this book. It is somewhat predictable, but readers will learn and feel a great deal from this story. I was deeply saddened at times. The audio version is really well done; it might be the reason I appreciate this novel as much as I do. I definitely recommend it to teenage readers as well as adults.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1G5LKK21MXA8E?ASIN=014242417X	A beautiful story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">When I finished this book, I was debating whether this book was just ok or brilliant. After reflection I decided the latter. It did make me weepy at times. I do get that Gus, Hazel &amp; Isaac even though are teenagers, they had to grow up so fast, their life is just put on hold, waiting &amp; waiting. Then life can be so cruel twice, just when you think you beat the odds, it comes back around to bite you more. Their life changes dramatically.<br/><br/>Then you have the social issue,  it is such a shame but society is so cruel sometimes, it may not be intentional but it does nonetheless.<br/><br/>Their views on life and off their illness was extraordinary. This book got me thinking, I imagined if I was diagnosed with something that was terminal, how would I see life or how would I cope?, would it be the same as i see it now.?Of course it would. Absolutely everything would changed. We tell everyone who is ill, it will be ok, you'll get through it, live life to the fullest etc etc, this book highlights these bulls*** phrases, it is easy for someone to tell a patient all this &amp; more, but unless they're going through it, you can't imagine how much they want to live their life to the fullest, but they can't because a certain illness affects their quality of life<br/>This book identifies this and much much more</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R15YJUXYTYJ9P5?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I don't usually rate books, but this one I felt like I had to.<br/><br/>First, it's amazing. I loved every bit of it and it's perfect for anyone. I was a fan of The Hunger Games, Divergent, and Harry Potter before I started the book. I didn't know if I would like it, since I'm used to futuristic dystopian worlds and that kind of thing, and I wasn't sure about a realistic fiction type of read, but somehow, it was totally great and touching.<br/><br/>Now, I don't like reviews that contain spoilers, that's how I usually get books ruined for me. I also don't necessarily like super long reviews, so I'll try my best to keep this short.<br/><br/>Anyways, I loved how amazingly written this book was. I was pretty surprised by some of the negative comments and was a little reluctant to get the book, but I then decided I might as well give it a try. I was so surprised at how perfect this was, and when some people said that Hazel &amp; Augustus didn't sound like normal teenagers, I thought they did. Sometimes though, they would quote their favorite book, but other than that they were totally normal teenagers.<br/><br/>Overall, this was an amazing book that was written beautifully and I am probably going to be reading this again as many times as Hazel re-read An Imperial Affliction.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R361Q6N1G8MSMZ?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault In Our Stars Is A Sad But Powerful Journey	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault In Our Stars is a touching story about 16 year old Hazel Grace, stricken with cancer, and the friends she makes in her support group. As one group member, Gus, begins to draw her attention to him, and Hazel finds herself wanting to spend more time with this boy, who is in remission after his own battle with cancer. The two begin to spend time together and eventually come to realize they have fallen in love.<br/><br/>As the story unravels, readers follow Hazel and Gus through adventures that take them everywhere from the local gas station to a quaint hotel in Amsterdam. Through these adventures, Hazel and Gus bond over their mutual struggles with cancer, his in the past and hers in the present.<br/><br/>As the young couple becomes increasingly closer, things start to unravel for one of them. The gripping conclusion of this story strongly speaks to the power of young love and the struggle that each of us faces against time.<br/><br/>The characters in The Fault In Our Stars all play an important role in the story, and each character is someone that at least one reader can relate to. The powerful message this book sends is that while love may not conquer all, it can make a huge difference in quality of life and the way in which people appreciate life in general.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3CCO3EKV8KRCT?ASIN=014242417X	The One of a Kind Love Story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in our Stars is an amazing book, that tells a wonderful love story.<br/>John Green is such a talented author, and his storytelling is astounding. The whole relationship between Hazel and Gus is a fantasy tale all on it's own, but tying in the cancer aspect just adds so many more layers to the emotions that you will experience while reading this book.<br/><br/>Hazel Grace Lancaster is a 17 year old cancer patient who attends a support group for other young survivors. In this group is where Hazel meets a young man named Augustus Waters, who lost one of his legs to cancer, along with his friend Isaac, a survivor that lost both his eyes to cancer. Augustus immediately takes a fancy to Hazel, and isn't afraid of expressing his feelings, but Hazel, on the other hand, is terrified because she doesn't want to hurt him.<br/><br/>As Gus and Hazel begin showing their feeling a bit more publicly, Gus decides to use his one dying wish from the genies to take Hazel to Amsterdam, and meet Hazel's favorite author, Peter Van Houten, a recluse who wrote the book An Imperial Affliction.<br/>Now, I would tell you more, but that is for you to find out. ;)<br/><br/>OVERALL OPINION:<br/>-Great book<br/><br/>AGE RANGE:<br/>-Girls, 12+<br/><br/>WARNINGS:<br/>-Some language</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3THJ4XQL96NTC?ASIN=014242417X	Great YA; mediocre in general	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I finished this book in a day, and ugly cried for approximately half the book.<br/><br/>This isn't a good book, though. I do not recommend it to anyone who is not either a teenager, or an adult looking for an easy read -- another iteration of The Notebook or A Walk To Remember. It's not memorable; it won't haunt me for years to come -- it won't warrant much of a thought other than a passing, ""I have seen this trope in x, y, and z already.""<br/><br/>In spite of this, I did devour the book. Again, it's an easy read, and the plot keeps pushing forward. The writing isn't particularly good -- a little bit too self-important, at times -- but because it's written from the perspective of a teenager, it works. It's a book that turns the knobs of emotion formulaically, but it turns them effectively. It's sweet, too, and innocent.<br/><br/>It's a book I feel like I've grown out of but, because I'm not sure I feel ready to fully leave teenage-hood behind (five years after I've stopped being one), I can't help letting myself fall back into it.<br/><br/>And, finally, the thing I love about easy books is that it lets me devour books again. I can rush through them, tearing through pages, without much thought -- something that I often cannot do with other, more adult books.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1O0TY1XLDJ931?ASIN=014242417X	Fabulous story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Hazel has terminal cancer that has forced her out of school. Despite her desire to stay inside reading, sleeping and watching television, her Mom forces her to get out and go to Support Group each week. It is there that she meets Augustus Waters, a boy who has been cancer-free for close to a year. He has a different outlook on life and with his unlit cigarette, he plans on making Hazel Grace’s life broader and brighter.<br/><br/>Written in a first-person narrative, John Green has created a poetic and powerful novel.  This book has a dark, realistic beginning, but quickly it sweeps the characters and readers up into a majestic fantasy. The author focuses on how cancer affects the patient, but also how it affects everyone. Knowing the end result, means grief is a daily experience for all, but the choice is to continue living life for however long it exists. Brimming with references to another heart wrenching, fictional tale, Green manages to tell an additional story within this one, to help foreshadow the growth of his main characters. Readers will cry and laugh as they fall in love with Hazel Grace, Augustus and Isaac.<br/><br/>Notes:<br/><br/>This review was written for My Sister’s Books.<br/>This review was originally posted on the Ariesgrl Book Reviews website.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1QNRBMSN48UPF?ASIN=014242417X	READ THIS BOOK.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I elected to read ""The Fault in Our Stars"" by John Green because, truthfully, I just wanted to see what all the hype was about. With all the buzz around the new movie, not to mention the large amount of teenage girls raving about tear-jerking love story, it’s almost impossible to avoid hearing about it.<br/>After staining the last few pages with teardrops, I had completed the ever so popular book. I would absolutely recommend ""The Fault in Our Stars"" to anyone in need of a good book, a good cry, or simply a good story. The main character Hazel is very easy to relate to and I fell in love with Augustus Waters. I would recommend this book for anyone who would enjoy a story about a romantic journey that incorporates the harsh realities of real life.<br/>This book definitely exceeded my expectations. I thought it was just going to be another stereotypical, sappy, love story with a happy ending but it had a unique twist on the regular love story plot that I think is what most readers love about it. In addition, John Green's writing style is different, sophisticated, and beautiful, and he presents a gift that you see very scarcely these days.<br/>Even if you think this book isn't for you, give it a try because it just might surprise you. :)<br/>-Emily</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1V1SP9C4NEWR1?ASIN=014242417X	Terrific and flawed	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Terrific:<br/>- millions of young people read this book; anything that gets people into literature is a very good thing<br/>- the author does not glorify death or cover up the horrors of most cancer deaths; young readers (all readers really) need to confront realities rather than romanticized and perverted versions of it<br/>- the characters actually have sex and it is positive and natural; the author again does not ignore the real lives of adolescents or make judgments about sex<br/>- there are many poignant moments and quotes throughout the text<br/>- it is a good, thoughtful, and nice text<br/><br/>The Bad:<br/>- the main characters wax philosophic far too often and they do so with a wisdom and vocabulary that are out of place<br/>- these same characters are afforded insights beyond their age, experiences, etc. at the cost of almost all of the adults appearing dimwitted (is there no wisdom from age/experience?)<br/>- the characters claim not to want to be identified by their cancers but repeatedly identify themselves this way (similarly, their diagnoses seems to give them some preternatural insights)<br/>- Green vacillates between nice writing and really bad prose (tons of dangling and misplaced modifiers, bad dialogue ...

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2FHNVUZ6B849T?ASIN=014242417X	A really good book and I totally get why it is so popular.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">My daughter has asked to read this book for a while (apparently ALL her friends have read it) but I’ve put it off telling her to wait until she was a little older. We sat down a while ago and talked about the content (language, sex, etc.) and she decided she would wait a while before reading it.<br/><br/>I caved and finally read this book because the movie was coming out and I try to always read the book before watching a movie.  And my daughter had asked again and decided she really wanted to read the book.  I wanted to preview it first so we could discuss if needs be. After finishing I did let her read this book (she’s 14) but still feel it is a little old for her and has a little more content than what I am comfortable with her reading.<br/><br/>The Fault in Our Stars is a really good book and I totally get why it is so popular.  I loved Hazel and Gus. Such a perfect pairing. There’s not much that I can add to the thousand of reviews out there other than to say I don’t regret finally reading this one.  It is well done.<br/><br/>Rating: 4 Stars – Great Book<br/><br/>Source: Audible.com<br/><br/>Content: language throughout included 1 use of the F word. Teenage sex scene but it was more awkward than sensual, subject matter includes cancer and dying.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2M1WSQUP32LP9?ASIN=014242417X	TFIOS; a tremendous, sorrowful, awesome love story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars by John Green is my new favorite book in the entire universe. (In all the infinities) it is full of twists and turns but is so well put together. Like I said (in the title) it truly is a tremendous book, because of the tragedy, happiness, great love, and awesomeness woven in to the pages of this book. I recommend it to every one, even to boys, yes it is a romantic story but it isn't so lovey dovey that a boy wouldn't like it. I am a book lover and because of that I can read like no other. The Fault in Our Stars has about 345 pages in it, and a lot of my friends told me that I should read it, so when I went on vacation to Utah (from Lakewood, Colorado) I downloaded it on my Kindle Fire HD. I, like many others who have read it, was sucked into the world/life of Hazel Grace and Augustus Waters. My trip was 10 hrs long, although I wanted to read it  24/7 I could not so I read it in  2 1/2 days. I think that even some one who doesn't read that much or that we'll would enjoy this book. But I would recommend it to tweens/ teens. This is the first book  (but defiantly not the last) that I have read by John Green.Way to go John! Read this book today peoples!!  (Review) By: Hannah Aarestad -13 yr old in 8th grade  (12 in 7th grade when read.) :)</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2R29H3FJZ2A23?ASIN=014242417X	Not Bad..	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read the book based on it being a recommendation from other books I had read, and it has done rather well review wise.<br/>I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed the book.<br/>My review is more in response to the negative reviews. Because had I only read them, I wouheld not have given the book a chance.<br/><br/>The book does use some foul words, but not as many as some people portray it to.<br/>The characters are not as evolved as some books, but are still given depth.<br/>The teenagers do not act as typical teens, but how can they be expected to? Come on, they are dying.<br/>Parents of cancer patients do complain about the livelihood of the characters, but after all, it is a fictitious story.<br/>The story is written from the perspective of a 16 year old female, so  she is obviously going to speak like a teenager, be somewhat self entitled/self centered, and is going to think she is right 100% of the time.<br/>The story does take on somewhat of a ""hipster"" attitude, but I did not see it as ""pretentious.""<br/><br/>I think the majority of the bad reviews have been coming from adults who expected something completely different than the idea and aim of the book, probably because it  is not aimed at their age of audience.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RD40NV9AHOU3Z?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in Our Stars Reviewed: An Authentic, Comedic Tragedy of Life and Loss	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is a story of lives lived out in a compacted time due to cancer. I will not give the line that these two lived more in their brief time together than most live in longer lives, although that may be true. I will say that their time together is authentically loving. I think that is both the tragedy and the allure of the book. Well, the writing might be a bit of a draw as well, of course. I’m reminded of that famous Camus line: “Fiction is the lie through which we tell the truth.”<br/><br/>I applaud the book’s rejection of tripe and its honest struggle for meaning.<br/>Kate Rudd has a challenge set before her in the narration of the book: breathless but snarky cancer-ridden teenage girl, confident but sensitive teenage boy and Dutch accents. She must cry and laugh but enunciate enough that we understand her. She does all of this and more. She refers to her work as performing a book, not narrating it. I think that’s an accurate assessment. I especially like how she portrays Augustus Waters’ confidence in his pacing as well as his tone. Admirably done Ms. Rudd.<br/><br/>I whole-heartedly encourage you to read the book; you might want to have a few tissues by your side both for tears of laughter and of pain.<br/><br/>For full review: wp.me/p2XCwQ-AL</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RH7IRGHU62ZAA?ASIN=014242417X	Loved. This. Book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I loved this book. I was hooked after the first chapter. In all of my readings, and I do read a lot, never have  i read such honesty regarding such a mysterious thing called cancer. I laughed a LOT, which is strange knowing this book was centered around a girl with s*** lungs and a boy with one leg. I cried A LOT. I could see everything in my minds eye, and it brought me to tears. Not only because it was sad, but because it was beautiful. Many of my friends don't want to read this book strictly for the reason it has the word cancer in it, and I'm going to have to tell them that they are missing out. They are missing out on a wonderfully written, honest book, that I just loved. It is currently 6 in the morning, and I have stayed up all night reading his book. That has to say something about a) my love for reading, and b) how AMAZING AND BEAUTIFUL THIS BOOK IS! God. I cant get over it. I can see why this gem is becoming a movie, it simply is that awesome. Thank you for a wonderfully written book. It blew my mind in good way, and not the gory kind that some of us might think. I'm going to force my friends to read this book. Augustus would have wanted me to find purpose in my life, and as much purpose as I already have, I have found a new purpose. Thank you.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1O3D42R6ECWQM?ASIN=014242417X	Kudos to John Green!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Kudos to John Green for crafting a tale of teen love that feels real and wonderful! While so many teen love novels take the distopian or fantasy route, John Green presents a tale of two teens facing enormous challenges in life, but who manage to find a beautiful love in the midst of the pain.<br/><br/>The beginning of the book opens to find the main character, Hazel Grace, a young girl dying of cancer. I absolutely adored Hazel with her comically snarky attitude but deep care for her parents, whom she is concerned what will happen to them upon her death. Hazel attends a cancer support group, where she meets Augustus Waters (Gus), who lost his leg in his battle with cancer. The two begin a very easy and natural friendship over their love of movies, books, and sharing their experiences with cancer.<br/><br/>It is Hazel and Gus's love of books that take them on an adventure across the globe. All aspects of love and relationship are explored through the lens of their illness; Is it fair to love someone knowing the pain that your death will cause them?<br/><br/>The story will take you through the entire emotional gamut - laughing aloud to crying with deep sorrow. It is a beautifully well crafted story that will remain with you long after the last page.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R22S3Z28GW6RAV?ASIN=014242417X	The Faults in This Book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is a sad book. There are many sad moments. In fact it would seem its sole purpose is to inflict sadness upon its readership. Leading the charge is Hazel Grace, a teenage girl with cancer. She is acutely aware and usually hypercritical of any attempt to alleviate or minimize life’s sorrows. Don’t even try to cheer Hazel up, she can see right through it!!<br/><br/>For maximum effect, she is joined by fellow cancer patient and full-time commiserator Augustus Waters. Together they highlight, underscore, analyze, and question all social norms—from breakfast foods to funeral arrangements, nothing is sacred. They’re so intellectual! Most of their conversations sound like a university-sponsored philosophical roundtable. I guess it’s a necessary feature of a John Green book, whether teenagers can actually volley such witticisms or not.<br/><br/>I did not expect the entire book to be about the undisclosed fates of characters from fiction-within-fiction. It’s not enough that I need to worry about Hazel and Gus, I also (apparently) need to care about a hamster. Or at least care that Hazel cares. I mean, talk about trivial. For a book about life and death, it’s not much of a driver.<br/><br/>The rest of the book is composed of sad events and stark truths.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2FI16WVF3WJSM?ASIN=014242417X	The Thoughts of Our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I chose this rating because this book is written so honest, that I teared up while reading it.  I loved the characters and their ability to laugh at their own sufferings.  The twist are unexpected, which will remain one of the best reasons to enjoy this book.<br/>There were parts in the book that infuriated me.  Parts that made me so sad. I laughed and smiled as I read this story. Most of all it made me think, about life, love, death, losses, human nature to want to be remembered in someway but we are a part of a universe that demands attention.<br/>There were parts in the book where I knew there had to be something more, making me long to skip ahead, yet unable to miss some of the story. When I did reach the explanation, I was not disappointed.  There are some parts of the story that never get explained and I understand Hazel's desperation in wanting to know what happens to the rest of the people in the book, though the book has ended.<br/>I'm not a great book critic.  I'm just an ordinary reader. I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone who gets offended easily, even though the story is fictional. I would recommend it to readers who consider every possible outcome of the afterlife and to readers who believe we all leave something special behind.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R11FC8LVOR17RZ?ASIN=014242417X	A brilliant beginning, but humour starts to jar	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I fear I am about to utter blasphemy: I liked, but didn’t love this book. (I know, I know- you can stone me later.) I don’t really like Young Adult as a genre, so a YA book about two teenagers with cancer didn’t appeal, but then EVERYBODY (and I do mean everybody) was reading it, and tweeting how they were crying at 3am because they were so invested in the characters, so I decided to give it a go. Don’t get me wrong, I can why it was so popular – the sarcasm and challenging of the traditional ‘cancer narrative’ is disarmingly winsome, it has some wonderful lines in, like “I fell in love like you fall asleep: slowly, and then all at once”, and I loved it up to about halfway. But then the plot was a little predictable and the sarcasm started feeling a bit preachy.<br/><br/>The plot moves inevitably towards a sad outcome, but the humour continued, and it jarred with me a little. To misquote Ecclesiastes, there is a time for black humour and a time for silence and tears. So I read the whole thing dry-eyed, and though I loved the first half, it left me a little cold. (I am officially the most heartless person in the universe.) I am clearly in the minority, however, so if you like Young Adult as a genre, you’ll probably love this, and it’s pretty cheap.</span>"

I can very easily and honored to call this my favorite book and the best book I have ever read. This book literally touches your heart. It's very hard to a book to get the title as my favorite book, because I read to books week. I have so many to choose from. The Fault in Our Stars by far tops the list. Everything about this book and John Green in perfect. He is my all time favorite author. He has such a way with words. This book will move you as a person and will just touch you heart. Whether you are male or female. Unless you have a cold heart on stone you will most likely cry reading the book. It's pretty much impossible not to. I can not even begin to fathom the irrevocable feeling this book brings to me. Words honestly can not explain how treat this book is. This book will literally give you a new outlook on life. I don't even know what else to say. Reading this book literally changed my life.<br/><br/>Sometimes you read a book and it fills you with this weird evangelical zeal, and you become convinced that the shattered world will never be put back together unless and until all living humans read the book.<br/>-John Green<br/>^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ that's how I feel about The Fault in Our Stars</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RF0GWXLDRCI9Y?ASIN=014242417X	"In one word, ""Outstanding!"""	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Originally seen on the big screen by the urging of my then 16 year old daughter. I was urged to read the book. The movie was an emotional upheaval of great human strengths.<br/>However, the book far exceeded the movie, as much books do to their big screen counterparts. This was emotional roller coaster to say the least. You become part of these peoples life's that Green has created. Anyone with at least half a soul can feel the pain of the trials of Issac. The charisma the exudes from from every pore of Augustus' being, and the philosophical edge that Hazel has over the rest of us. You can't help fall in love with them and be in love with them. Feel their joy, their life, their pain and most tragically their death. We are more complete for knowing these characters and the plight they go through to struggle through this harshness of life.<br/>I can not tell you how many times I cried, laughed out loud, or sighed at the pureness that was Augustus and Hazel's love for each other. I thought this originally was about 2 teenagers with cancer that find each other. But it was not, it was two souls finding each other and allowing love to dig through and outshine the muck, mud and grime that is disease. Not letting it get in your way. Love trumps all.</span>"

It made me think, feel, remember the seven years when my best friend, my husband Peter, was slowly losing his legs because of diabetes. He was so stoic, remaining on the job, even getting a promotion just prior to the organization going under. He retired with a disability but remained busy and devoting his time to help people he had been helping with their attempts to be successful at their jobs. He even joined me at the school district's Budget Advisory Committee and working through the pain created an explanation of the budget so that they could understand how things worked.<br/>All of this effort he expended while having multiple operations and physical therapy in a whirlpool in an attempt to stop the loss of his legs. Everything that was done left him with stumps that reached above his knees. He had a number of setbacks and was in different hospitals when his heart started falling. He never complained. He was his usual intelligent self. He enjoyed going places with the family. He would even go over 90 miles to attend our older daughter's dance studio's performance.<br/>Because of my experiences with Peter, I identified with the families in this book. Thank you Mr Author.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R9ZME1LSAR48H?ASIN=014242417X	Bittersweet!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I am not sure that I would have read this book had I known what it was about.  But, in retrospect, I am so glad that I did.  You see, I am a mother of two boys and one girl. Two of them are all healthy and happy and busily engaged in their lives as adults.  I lost the third one 3 years ago.  This book is about young people--I taught high school for 20 years, so I know young people--who find themselves through no fault of their own involved in very grown up situations--victims of cancer.  The aplomb with which they handle their seemingly hopeless situations is amazing.  There are efforts to avoid it, hate it, accept it, you name it.  The marvelous thing that gives the reader so much from the reading is the relationship that they build with one another--self-contained and successful.  As an onlooker in the situation, thinking that some of the situations are impossible and maybe even wrong is very easy.  But, when doing so, one is brought up short, ""What would I do?  What would I want for my child?""  The language and situations are so typical of high school kids that accepting it is easy.  But, accepting the plight is difficult until you stop and think, this really happens!  I encourage you to read this book.  I recommend it highly.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RYKIRL5HHZAU7?ASIN=014242417X	Utterly unputdownable and highly recommended	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Finished The Fault in Our Stars yesterday and needed the rest of the day to try to adequately sum up how I felt about this book. It touched me in such a real way that it's hard to talk about it. I can't remember the last time I read a book so fast. With 2 children the luxury of sitting down and reading is kind of a thing of the past, but for the past two days, literally every spare moment I had was  devoted to this captivating book.<br/><br/>Not only was it beautifully written, but the characters were so vivid, and funny and honest that I kind of wish I could go find Hazel Grace and Augustus Waters and just meet these people who found their own little beautiful infinity within utter fear and uncertainty and sickness.<br/><br/>Of course I was in tears toward the end, which is the most awkward thing when you're reading a book LOL. But what I loved most is that it wasn't this book that felt sorry for itself, it wasn't an epically sad love story about 2 teenagers who fall in love in spite of having cancer, it was about two people who refused to let their current situations stop them from fully experiencing the most epic love of their lives.<br/><br/>Umm yeah, can you tell I loved it??<br/>Utterly unputdownable, and highly recommended.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1ZN21NYYEBYBU?ASIN=014242417X	My Little Infinity	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Dear fellow book lovers,<br/><br/>I just finished ""The fault in Our Stars"" by John Green and wanted to give you all a review.<br/><br/>Where do I start? Well, first off, I'm sorry if this post includes grammar mistakes or unorganized sentences...I have been crying hysterically and my head/thoughts are a mess. Please read this book. I read a little of everything. However, rarely do I come across a book that changes me. This book changed me. John Green, you brilliant bastard! What words can I use to explain how life changing this book was. It was everything I love about books; interesting, insightful, witty, and filled with perfectly written characters. At the same time it was beautifully heartbreaking. Never have I cried so hard over a book. Never have I fallen so completely in love with characters or mourned for the loss of one. This book was everything. My only complaint is that I fear it has ruined me for other books. I will always compare books to The Fault in Our Stars. Always criticize them for not having John Greens wit or soul altering dialogue.<br/>If you've never read it, I hope that you do. If you don't , I feel so sorry for you because you will never know the beautifully heartbreaking story of Hazel and Augustus.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R22SWPFXNSE0XQ?ASIN=014242417X	Best Author!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">One of the best books I've EVER read! The story could have been about anything. The author's use of language, grammar, and general storytelling skills made this book fantastic! I can't say enough positive things about it. It was so well written I believed I was reading an actual account of the main character's life! I was able to picture everything described and arrived at the intended destination without being bored with useless words to needlessly lengthen the story. It was to-the-point while being beautifully descriptive without the bore most authors end up with by going into useless details. The suspense was just the right amount at all times. I didn't catch any errors in spelling, grammar, or punctuation. Perhaps there weren't any, or perhaps I was so involved in the actual story I didn't have time, care, not reason to look. I loved every minute of reading it and being there with the characters that it was difficult to put it down. O read this one faster than any other book I've ever read. Mostly because it was so involving. When it was over I felt fulfilled. I wasn't longing for more, but I felt good about that. Closure was complete. I highly recommend this engaging book. I especially recommend it to anyone suffering with disease.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R18ZE748S0MLWM?ASIN=014242417X	A good read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I enjoyed reading 'The Fault in Our Stars'. Though the subject matter is serious, the story reveals thoughts and feelings about having cancer and the loss of friends to various types of cancer from teenager's points of view. It is a stark contrast to the way the adults react to news, good or bad. The main characters are Hazel who is 16 and Augustus (Gus) who is 17. Their bond forms over a book Hazel gives Gus to read.  I purchased this book mainly because I had seen previews for the movie.I usually like to read the book that inspired the movie before deciding whether or not I will see it at the theatre.  I had no idea the book was a book written for young readers(6 th-8 th). if that is the case, I'm appalled at the unnecessary use of curse words throughout the novel. I don't believe it added to the feelings being expressed in the novel and because kids are bombarded with negative influences in almost every video game, movie, television show and just hanging out with friends, it seems that an author writing to that aged audience should have a greater sense of responsibility too the readers. That said, the stark contrast between how the adults and teens handle the deep subject of dying from incurable cancer is fascinating and refreshing.</span>"

I have just finished one of the most amazing books I have ever read and I can just tell you it blew me away from the first page.<br/>This is probably the best written book of the 21st century and I'm surprised. I thought their was no possible way a man can write a book narrating from a teenage girls aspect but I was wrong. its so beautifully written that I'm speechless. Out of all the books I've ever read this one has changed my life and the meaning of it. And I can't just shake it off. Going into this I knew it was a tear jerker and I thought this was gonna end with the heroine dying I was completely wrong and I felt cheated. Just like Hazel and Augustus I have answers, answers to the fault in our stars. How does it end? Does Hazel live or die? Does Isaac get glass eyes to see? Does Hazel ever visit Augustus Grave? Does Hazel end up falling in love again? I need answers to my questions. I need closer. I have cried for about a good 20 minutes and I know this book has embedded its self in my heart. This will stick with you and you will be forever be changed. And if you haven't read this I suggest you do so, no more putting it on the back burner</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RAGX1HXV2AF9F?ASIN=014242417X	Not worthy of the attention it receives.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read this book after a friend mentioning the hype surrounding it as an upcoming movie. Going in, I had no idea what the book was about. Upon beginning this book, I was struck by the extremely casual use of languge that the author uses. On one hand it could be argued that this was to reflect the thoughts of the teenage narrator's naive personality, but I felt it came across as rough and unpractised, reading much like a first draught, or two people rehearshing lines of a play for the first time. Unfortunately as the story progressed I came to realise the author's flaw of developing extremely two-dimensional characters, who do not seem to learn anthing from the many obstacles they face. Perhaps this book was aimed at a younger and more naive audience, but I believe that excellent adult fiction can be read and enjoyed by all ages, yet I found this text hardly tolerable. I was glad that this book was relatively short, as it meant that I didn't waste too much time reading something that I gained nothing from.</span>"

2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3PWJL2E0YX3SU?ASIN=014242417X	Genius Book Idea	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars may quite possibly be America and even the global population’s new favorite book. I feel that this book displays a very strong message of growing up and accepting challenges such as responsibility and loss, especially going through the teenage/ young adult years. TFIOS revolves around 15-year old Hazel Grace Lancaster, a cancer patient, who just dreams of just being a “normal teenager.” The book creates an inspiring appeal to all who read it, and it has even inspired many teenagers around the world going through the same struggle as the character Hazel Grace. This book tugs at your heart, and forces you to accept the characters as your friends. And honestly, reading this book, I cried a little. But what you realize as you’re reading this story full of a rollercoaster of emotions, the tears that you cry are partially because you hold on to the characters so much, that you hate seeing them go, and also because the story really is emotional enough to cause you to cry many tears of sadness, and joy. Overall, I found this book absolutely incredible. John Green (author of TFIOS) has done a remarkable job with each pieces of his writing, but I truly think that this is his most spectacular one yet.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R373U9PWEOO04O?ASIN=014242417X	BEST. BOOK. EVER.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I thought that this book was one of the most amazing books in the world, and I wish I had a love like Hazel's. I want to love and be loved as much as Hazel and Augustus did. I cannot wait until the movie comes out.<br/><br/>I would definitely recommend this book to anybody. It features love, loss, and sadness. That is what I like about books. It is better than any other book you could possibly read.<br/><br/>I understand Hazel completely. I really felt like I was reading her thoughts. THANK YOU JOHN GREEN FOR CREATING MY NEW FAVORITE BOOK.<br/><br/>I loved every character in this book in a different way. First of a, I wish Augustus was my boyfriend. I loved the way Hazel thought about life. I loved how her parents cared so much about her. I loved that Lidewij cared about her and Augustus. I just lived everything about it. I loved how Augustus would do anything for Hazel. He used his wish to take her to Amsterdam. He wanted to write her a sequel to An Imperial Affliction after Van Houton refused to tell her what happened after.<br/><br/>I felt like I was actually there, witnessing everything that happened.<br/><br/>Sorry for the long review, but I just needed everyone to know how I felt about that book.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I recently just got done reading the fault in our stars and it is yet another great book. I feel like the book touched upon different and more personal subjects that i have not seen in many other books. It really shows the truth and reality that people face in this world in a way that made it very exciting. This book immediately grabbed my attention and i am so glad that i decided to read it. I decided to read this book after hearing many other great reviews. It had also been recommended to me by several different people who enjoyed it as much as i did.  I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who is looking for a great story line full of different feelings and experiences. In fact i would recommend this book to anyone who has not yet read it. The book had a great deal of fun and exciting moments however, it did have a fair share of sad and emotional ones as well which makes for a great balance. I have to say after hearing all the great reviews and recommendations this book definitely met my expectations. Not only did it grab my attentions i became attached to the characters as well as the story line. It was full of many emotions good and bad and i think anyone could enjoy this book as much as i did.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1NZBPASV05K1M?ASIN=014242417X	An inspiring read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book made me cry. As a person who has spent their life dealing with a birth defect, and chronic illness I get where the main character in this story is coming from. She does not hold onto hope because she thinks that there is no future for her-- until she meets this amazing person who changes her entire world. This book teaches many lessons to those who read it including the fact that nothing in the world is permanent- not even love.<br/><br/>Green is a truly skilled writer. This is the first book of his that I have read but am hoping to hear more from this amazing author. He managed to keep the plotline realistic in terms of addressing the issues that teenagers dealing with birth defects, chronic or terminal illness, or psychiatric disorders face with both their family and their peers. For example, the fact that the main characters parents think she is in need of counseling because of the fact that she has accepted the fact that she is going to die. From someone who has lived with this her entire life this is a common response..from peers and family.<br/><br/>Overall this was an excellent book and I would recommended it to anyone living with disability since the main character is quite inspiring</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2PYYIG8CS2WE8?ASIN=014242417X	Fabulously Emotional Journey	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I am quite angry with myself for waiting so long to read this book. It was so much more than I expected and it will resonate with me for a long time. I succumbed to reading this purely because the movie was coming and I am delighted that I read the book first. While I was prepared for an emotional journey, I was not prepared for the smile that would stay plastered on my face for a significant part of this book. I am in love with these characters and I am in love with this story. I may have found a new favorite author, although we shall see.<br/><br/>This story will make you laugh, it will make you cry...check that...it will make you sob. There is no other way to describe that horrid noise that came from my throat or the endless amounts of tears or snot that my body released. And yet, amidst the sobbing was laughter. There should be a new word to created to describe what it's like to be in the throws of sobbing and suddenly burst out with laughter. Snaughter, Laubbing,or some derivative thereof.<br/><br/>John Green is a master with words. He is a gifted story teller and I am eternally grateful for the story and the experience. I shall not forget the journey I took with Hazel Grace and Augustus Waters.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3P7IPZPLW0NWR?ASIN=014242417X	New Author to Love	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">A friend recommended this to me and I am very glad she did. I have never read John Green's work and what an amazing book to start with for me. The first few pages have to catch my attention and this one did. Why? This story uses a captivating balance of humor and seriousness while looking at the relationships of two young people (Hazel and Augustus). In addition, this is not your typical, ""oh I have a terrible disease and may die"" story but is  the basis of how these characters deal with life with friends and family and with each other.<br/><br/>In addition, Mr. Green provides the reader with a thought provoking process of seeing ""The Fault in our Stars"" story  reflect similar themes that are shared in an author's work that Hazel loves and shares with Augustus. These similar moments were so subtle and sometimes I would be a few pages into the story before I would see the similarity and would stop to enjoy the revelation before going on.  This book is not age restrained and I strongly recommend whether you are a teen looking at beginning your journey of author's to love or an adult who has a collection of many author's in you library of reading, this is a book that one should read now.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2CQ50RBG2G1AS?ASIN=014242417X	Stock up on some Hankeys........	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I'm going to keep this review short and sweet.<br/>Why you may ask? Because this book speaks for itself. You must pick it up and read it!<br/><br/>I laughed, I cheered, I cried.......I couldn't ask for anything more.<br/><br/>Obviously this book is about death, cancer and teenagers, you get that just by reading the synopsis of the book, but what you don't know is how Hazel and Augustus are going to pull at your heartstrings and make you fall in love with their innocence, strength and friendship.<br/><br/>Life is hard, but life is impossible when you are a kid with terminal cancer.<br/><br/>I don't usually pick up a sad book, I'm a very tender-hearted person and a book stays with me for a long time after I read it. With that said, I'm so happy that I read The fault in our stars, I want this book to stay with me and I want to remember the sadness of it.<br/><br/>I think sometimes we don't consider what it is like to have a terminal disease or any disease at all , if we have never experiences it for ourselves. Hazel, Augustus and there families really take you into this tragic yet meaningful experience.<br/><br/>John Green Did an amazing job, kudos to him for taking on such a hard subject.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R20FY9DFN4XOXW?ASIN=014242417X	Okay?	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">My grandparents on my father's side both died from cancer.  As did my great aunt.  The idea that not all cancer patients are the same is just now occurring to me.  My grandfather was happy despite his sickness.  He helped my sisters and I throw my mother a surprise birthday party from a wheelchair.  I don't really remember my grandmother very much, but I know that she was mostly happy, but also had moments of deep sadness.  My great aunt was very optimistic and strong, but cancer was stronger.  Like it is said in the book, ""pain demands to be felt.""  My great aunt felt it.  And so did my grandparents.  This book is emotion shaped like a book.  It isn't fake, or guesswork, or one of those sentimental feel good cancer books.  It is feeling.  It is not how cancer takes life from people(and it does), it is how cancer gives emotions to people.  Emotions that are strong or weak or just different altogether.  This book changed me.  I am not entirely sure how yet, but I am positive it will help me understand the universe,who really only wants to be noticed, a little better.  I hope this book changes everyone in some way, because this book is only a good one, if it changes you.  For better or worse.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2IGBMLTST1WID?ASIN=014242417X	For a Really Amazing Student and Friend	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I was in a conference with a student and her mom, and we started to talk about the joys of reading and writing. She recommended this book. At first I thought, ""Okay, a teen romance, but I'll go ahead and read it for her."" Then I began to think about the depth of this student; her kind heart balanced with her quiet complexities, and I rethought. ""Okay, maybe this will be good.""<br/><br/>It WAS good. I was impressed and moved by the various relationships among the various characters throughout. And the author did well to illustrate the degree of intellect that the young amongst us often have but that we rarely recognize and/or point out. And thank God that a book about teenage relationships includes a relationships between parents and their kids that are not filled with hate and distrust. THAT was very refreshing.<br/><br/>I would recommend this book to all of my middle school students, knowing full well that maybe three of them would finish it. And it's certainly not the case that I don't believe in the ability of my students to persevere through a novel. Rather, I don't think that most of them are ready for the kinds of amazing and deep messages that are found in this story.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RPTRNM49608EV?ASIN=014242417X	Bittersweet love story about two young people living with cancer!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Augustus Waters is confident and charming and Hazel Grace is wise beyond her years.  They are two young people living with cancer.  They become acquainted during a cancer youth group meeting.  They become friends while watching V for Vendetta and reading An Imperial Affliction.  Augustus is not shy in letting Hazel Grace know he has affection and feelings for her.  Hazel Grace just wants to be friends because she doesn't want to break his heart when she dies.<br/><br/>Augustus uses his one dying wish from the Genie's to take Hazel Grace to Amsterdam to meet the reclusive author of An Imperial Affliction.  Their meeting with the author doesn't turn out as planned so they decide to take in some of the sights including the Anne Frank Museum.  While at the museum Hazel Grace realizes that she has affection and feelings for Augustus.<br/><br/>I enjoyed this book very much.  I thought the relationship between Augustus and Hazel Grace was sweet and endearing.  Despite their disease they were able to express their love for each other, even though they knew one of them would be living with the pain of loss when the other passed away.<br/><br/>I would recommend this book to anyone 18 and older.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1RUEPF8QJIUL?ASIN=014242417X	Absolutely BEAUTIFUL	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I'm not sure that I really even need to write a review for this book based on the fact that there is no praise that I can give that someone else hasn't already given, but here I go. This book was recommended to me by a friend before the movie came out, and I just now decided to read it. I know better than to wait when she recommends something to me because the books are usually pretty amazing. This one was no exception. The way in which John Green writes is absolutely mesmerizing. The only reason I put the book down was to sleep and work. This story is beautiful.<br/><br/>The characters of Hazel and Augustus are two of the best I have read. They aren't perfect specimens and the storyline is tragic, but it is one of the greatest love stories that I have come across. It was real. I found myself making an instant connection with these characters and caring for them on a deeper level.<br/><br/>This story is intelligent, funny, tragic and real. In one word, it is beautiful. It will make you cry, so be prepared, but don't let that stop you from experiencing this book. I am excited to delve into another one of John Green's stories and truly hope he continues to write more. READ THIS BOOK!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R13HBYEWY7ZK5T?ASIN=014242417X	Good read.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I have to admit, I had very low expectations for this book. I figured I was way out of its' target demographic, and that it would paint a juvenile perspective on serious subject. My family is involved with a long time friend in the midst of his own life struggle, and I thought my familiarity with that situation would make me a critic of John Green's story. So here I am admitting that I was wrong.<br/><br/>I really enjoyed this story. It is touching and well written. Sure, it's full of boy-meets-girl cliché's, but the feel of the story is right. I'll never figure out how a man in his mid-thirties can tell a story from the mouth of an adolescent girl. And make it believable.<br/><br/>The characters are very well developed, you'll find that you really care about them. For myself, at my age, I relate most to the parents; especially how dealing with an illness of their child make them a bit crazy. The kids have the right amount of rebelliousness; an appropriate amount of despair; and the kind of hope that you only see in people who know their time on earth is limited.<br/><br/>This story is touching, funny, hopeful, and sad. It's entertaining and thought provoking from cover to cover.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2RXFLR2K1KDFU?ASIN=014242417X	Good YA book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Many people loved this book, so let me make it clear why I gave it four stars instead of five: the book was very predictable.  Other than the predictability, it was a great Young Adult book.  However, the writing was such that it can easily appeal to older readers. (I'm nearly 30.)  The teens in the book have different types of cancer.  They use humor to get through their situations, their lives.  There were times when I laughed out loud while reading this book.  And despite being a predictable book, I cried at the end.  It's a quick read for adults, and it definitely puts things into perspective when you read about some of the things many teens have to deal with on a daily basis due to cancer.<br/><br/>This book reminded me of another that did not have to do with cancer, but amnesia.  The book is called ""Me Again"".  This book reminded me of ""Me Again"" because I laughed out loud A LOT while reading that book.  However, one has NOTHING to do with the other.  I just thought I'd mention it if you like books where characters can take a bad, truly devastating situation and actually make it hilarious to read, even while you empathize with their conditions and/or diseases.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3944WU218MX4S?ASIN=014242417X	Emotionally Drained.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">“There will come a time when all of us are dead. All of us. There will come a time when there are no human beings remaining to remember that anyone ever existed or that our species ever did anything. There will be no one left to remember Aristotle or Cleopatra, let alone you. Everything that we did and built and wrote and thought and discovered will be forgotten and all of this will have been for naught. Maybe that time is coming soon and maybe it is millions of years away, but even if we survive the collapse of our sun, we will not survive forever. There was time before organisms experienced consciousness, and there will be time after. And if the inevitability of human oblivion worries you, I encourage you to ignore it. God knows that’s what everyone else does.”<br/>― John Green, The Fault in Our Stars<br/><br/>I am emotionally drained from this book. What fantastic writing. It's hard to tell you about the story without giving so much away. It's a story of struggle, love. and loss. This book will definitely have you taking a step back and thinking about what you truly believe, what you feel your purpose on this earth is, if there is even a purpose? I absolutely loved this book.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2JLQKD9F2LI5V?ASIN=014242417X	Cliched, but emotional	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">3.5 stars. It did what it was supposed to do. It made me care about the characters and it made me cry. It grabs your heart and holds on. There was an adjustment period to the way the characters talk, considering no one beyond pretentious college kids talk like the two lead protagonists, and not even then. In the beginning, I felt like the book was set in an alternate universe, one similar to ours but with teenagers who memorize poems and spout philosophy. Eventually I got use to it and even came to accept it.<br/><br/>Much of the book is cliched and I found myself wishing some of the plotlines and characters in the end had gone in a different direction. I felt they were there to tie up loose ends into a neat little package and in a book about kids with cancer, it's almost a disservice to your Issue to have a nice, neat ending.<br/><br/>But the book is emotional. Few books can make me cry for 75 pages straight. And there are some beautiful turns of phrases and Deep Thoughts. As an adult, I didn't quite ""get"" the big deal about The Fault in Our Stars. But, as a girl who grew up on Lurlene McDaniel's cancer YA books, I'm certain I would have adored this book as a teen.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R25MN6GFFO4GCK?ASIN=014242417X	Will ruin your life-in the best possible way	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The fault in our stars is one of those books you read in the middle of the night and finish before the sun rises and you think what the hell am I doing with my life, sitting here crying over a fictional character who died of a terminal illness before fulfilling his life with a girl he became infatuated with. Then you remember that there are aspects to this book that apply to your life in the simplest of ways-maybe you believe that eggs deserve to be more than ""just a breakfast food"". Or maybe you have an Augustus or Hazel in your life and as you read, you realize how lucky you have it and how you should never take your time with someone for granted (or so you tell yourself, for the time being until sometime next week you're screaming at them from the top of your lungs because they did something excruciatingly annoying and you simply ""can't take their s***anymore."") Basically what I'm trying to say is that this book is more than just an easy read, it is the epitome of a perfect love story, under not so perfect circumstances. ""My thoughts are stars I cannot fathom into constellations"". Now that I've surpassed my melodrama, all I can really say is that you need to read this book.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1G64221M1HB2B?ASIN=014242417X	Overhyped Young Adult Novel	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars is mainly set in present-day Indianapolis. While most of the time, the setting doesn’t seem to be that important, there is one scene, a dinner scene, that is breathtakingly beautiful.<br/><br/>The main characters in The Fault in Our Stars are Hazel and Augustus. Both are teenagers. We follow the story from Hazel’s perspective. With this book, the characters’ believability is my main problem. Of course Hazel and Augustus might be more grown up than other people their age. But still, they act, talk and think like adults and they do this all the time. Both Hazel and Augustus (especially Augustus) aren’t believable in their roles as teenagers. At least for me.<br/><br/>I did like the plot though. I needed a little time to get going, but I enjoyed what I read, even if it was predictable. I’d really like to know what a whole classroom of teenagers would think of The Fault in Our Stars. If they don’t have a problem with the characters’ believability, then I’d recommend this book to teenagers, or adults who really don’t mind as the central topics of friendship and illness are important. However, I think that The Fault in Our Stars might be a bit overhyped.</span>"

2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R31RQPJJKRNBNT?ASIN=014242417X	Made me Cry that alone deserves a Five	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I haven't seen the movie so I don't know how that compares to the novel. I like reading the book first so that i can imagine the characters in my head. I could relate to Hazel having had lung cancer myself and being a non-smoker and though I was in my twenties I had many of the same emotions. But even if you haven't had some terrible disease this book is beyond cancer and more about life and love and struggle. It is not a happy go lucky tale but not totally depressing either. I saw that some reviewers critiqued that teenagers do not use the sophisticated vocabulary in this novel but that's even better as this will make people learn new vocabulary (I myself had to look some words up) other critiques are that there is cursing in a YA novel but if you were going through what these kids were going through cursing was used appropriate and extremely limited. The author makes you care about these characters and while it wasn't perfect the fact that I was bawling as badly as when I finished ""Where the Red Ferns Grow,"" when I was in fifth grade made this book deserving of five stars. I don't really want to go into any details because I highly recommend this book to everyone.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2QG9M4VBOC9JO?ASIN=014242417X	Clever, Touching, Wonderful	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">4.5 out of 5 stars.<br/>Who wants to read about a couple of kids with cancer, one terminal and one not?  Doesn't sound very optimistic, does it?  Well, plunge into this YA book anyway, and if you are anything like I am, you will love it.<br/><br/>It is a very quick read, but it packs a lot of punch.  Hazel Grace and Augustus, who met at a cancer support group where the leader talks too much about his ball-less state, are not characters to be forgotten easily.  They are smart, articulate, taught me some new vocabulary, and caused me to cheer them on.<br/><br/>The writing is clever, and brighter than it seems 16-year-olds should be speaking, but maybe the linguistic skills of the teens I know are substandard.  At any rate, I enjoyed their interactions, I thought the other characters were well done, and Hazel's descriptions of living with her failing lungs, drowning because of them, felt real.<br/><br/>The story didn't want to descend to the typical “courageous teenager fighting cancer and leaving a legacy” story, even though Augustus was most afraid of oblivion.  The ending was a touch maudlin, how could it be otherwise, but it was quite lovely.  I recommend this one.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1G10VEBFXEMB3?ASIN=014242417X	Not Quite a Star Turn	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I should preface my comments by confessing I am middle-aged. I picked up this book first after buying it for a friend's daughter and then having a friend of mine (who somehow didn't know it was a YA book) recommend it. I was curious what the buzz was all about. This book is clearly a YA book, though the  teen-age characters don't seem teen-aged to me at all. Their vocabulary seems ridiculously grandiose even to someone like me with an English Lit degree. Perhaps the author was just going for quirky, or maybe he wanted to make them seem mature enough to more easily wrestle with life and death. Even so, I couldn't see these characters having sex, which is what they did. It seemed like one minute the girl was swooning over their hands touching, the next moment she was describing the navigation of ""condomy issues."" (I do commend the author for the inclusion of responsible birth control though, even if one has cancer!) I think my problem with this book was these characters never came to life for me. Maybe they would for younger readers. But I never got vested enough to care that much. This may be one of those rare instances when the movie will be better than the book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R16TDWKVGHLEVA?ASIN=014242417X	Powerful	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">A really powerful book! I feel like I need to address the medical context of this book. I think it did a really good job of exploring what it is like to deal with disease. I don't have cancer, but MS brings with it a lot of similar 'baggage'. The endless tests, doctors, medicines, and feeling like a side effect of the disease. However, there was a much bigger thing that I got out of this book. Readers are at the mercy of the authors they love. It can be such a bitter sweet relationship. I have recently personally been dealing with the fact that several of my favorite authors haven't published books lately, leaving me to feel a bit abandoned. Silly isn't it? As a reader you give your heart and you mind to this person while you read their words, and the fact that they have given you those words can be so very powerful. It doesn't mean they owe you anything, they may not be 'good' people, they may not have more words to share, they may not even know where their own story was going. In the end however we need one another. Writers can not survive without readers and vice versa. I think this is a book that should be read, even if I was hesitant to read it in the first place.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2APZJWNLJHUIQ?ASIN=014242417X	Four Stars For The Writing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Except for the development of the love story, I liked this book. What an odd comment, right? The love story is the book. But for whatever reason, I did not feel the love. The “love” connection just seemed too fast, too unconvincing for me to be sufficiently drawn into the drama. I felt the same way about the movie—the chemistry just wasn’t there between these two tragic young people.<br/><br/>So why did I give this book four stars, despite the fact that the romance did not convince me? Because no one can deny that John Green is a super gifted writer with a flair for putting words and concepts onto the page in vibrant, intelligent detail. I loved the sharp wit of his two main characters. What teen (or adult) wouldn’t want to be as witty, charming and intelligent as these two young people? And of course I loved the fact that this novel brought two young people together through a book—what better way to get young people to contemplate the power of reading?<br/><br/>I applaud John Green for showing us all what is important: books, love, friendship, and a little bit of bad-ass attitude when life doesn’t go the way we want it to—or even come close to what we dreamed.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3ICB65F6OCEYD?ASIN=014242417X	A good read!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read this book because I saw the trailer for the movie and it looked interesting. I wanted to read it first before the movie because let's face it, the only movie I thought to be as good as the book was The Time Traveler's Wife. I didn't even know it was a book until after I say the movie and cried like a baby. This was a very touching story about two teens who meet at a cancer support group and fall in love. Their story is sweet and predicable (not in a bad way). Hazel is so grown up and sophisticated for her age. She enlightens Gus with her love of her favorite book. He uses a wish to take her to meet the author because she has questions about what comes next. Hazel didn't want to love Gus because she knew she was dying and she didn't want to cause him any pain. However, she can't stop herself from falling head over heels for him. I'm excited to see the movie and all I can say is hopefully it doesn't tick me off! I read My Sister's Keeper and fell in love with the book, then saw the movie and though I loved the movie and cried like a baby, the ending was completely changed. They should have kept it original to the book, it would have stayed true to the title!</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RY37IM8RX9N9P?ASIN=014242417X	The Book That Gives You Hope	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I am a critic when it comes to books, they are my pure hope and slice of life in this cruel and under-rating world. This review might sound like any other 13 year old's review,which is my age, but I assure you; it is not.<br/><br/>But that is not what this review is about, this review is about the book that brought ALL hope in humanity back into the empty space in my heart. It brings back all the love, sadness, and everything in between into one beautifully written page turner.<br/><br/>This book is unlike any other that I have ever read. I had a very good friend of mine recommend this book to me, in which I gladly obliged. I instantly regretted not reading it SOONER. Before I knew it, I had fallen in love with all the characters in this book. John Green has astounded me with his creative mind and great writing. This is the first book I've ever read by this author; thus, I will make it a promise that it will not be the last.<br/><br/>This beautifully written book is just the thing to get the tears flowing and the hearts glowing. I strongly recommend this book to all young readers such as myself, or to those who just need something to be happy to cry about.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3VH4W034C96ZO?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in Our Stars by John Green is a ...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars by John Green is a quirky look into a critically ill teenager’s head.<br/><br/>Hazel Grace is likable snarky sixteen year old with a terminal cancer. Her parents can barely convince her to leave the house until she meets the ever charming Augustus. The two quickly fall for one another despite the relationship’s impending doom because of health reasons.<br/>Augustus, or Gus, quickly inspires Hazel to not just exist, but live despite the tragedy and disappointments that surround her.<br/><br/>I picked up this book, not because I was dying to read it, but because on occasion I feel obligated to read whatever the latest trending book is. However, this book was much more compelling than I had expected. Green’s characters definitely caught a hold of my heart, and there were even times when I had to put the book down for a couple of hours so that I did not cry. My only problem with the book is that it is very typical American contemporary writing with lots of dialogue and edgy writing. I understand that it is the trend right now, it just is not my preferred style to read. This book can definitely capture the hearts of both teens and adults.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3PZ64Q3J7E6QV?ASIN=014242417X	The Dialogue -_-	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">It'd been a little while since I'd picked up a book and with my work schedule I knew I wanted a quick and easy read. I thought the story seemed well written enough but the dialogue was unbearable. I get that they're supposed to be smart and a bit quirky but why do the conversations between Hazel and Gus sound like something out of a Victorian novel? My friends and I WERE the nerdy kids in high school. We got good grades, we read books but we NEVER TALKED LIKE THAT. I've never met anybody who talks like that. Hazel's friend (the popular girl who has a name I can't remember) was the most obnoxious. The way she talks makes her sound like an Audrey Hepburn character wanna-be.<br/>If it wasn't for the way they talk, I probably would have liked the novel well enough to recommend it. The story was nothing amazing or life changing for me like it was for others, but it was entertaining and a few things made me think. I spoke with a friend about the book and she mentioned the dialogue too but said it didn't take away from the book for her the way it did for me. Give it a try. It's an easy book to get through in a day or two so it's not a huge waste of time at least.</span>"
1.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3HSM3Z766P4CM?ASIN=014242417X	Absolute MUST READ!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book, ""The Fault in Our Stars"" is one of the most heartfelt stories I have ever read. I chose to read this text for a couple different reasons.The main reason was all the positive feedback from the people who had already read the book. Almost everyone said it was ""one of the most moving books they have ever read"" and that ""they couldn't put it down."" I would most definitely reccomend ""The Fault in our Stars"" to anyone that likes stories that are intreging, but I wouldn't recommend it to someone that can't handle a sad story. After all, it is an amazing experience to get to read about the characters. This text exceeded my expectations. Personally, before I read the text I was skeptical about the hype, but truthfully this novel is most definitely one of my favorites. The author of the book, John Green, took the time for the reader to really get to know every character. Green's writing style told the story in an amazing way, the word choice made the story go up one notch. Overall, ""The Fault in Our Stars"" is a must read for almost everyone! I suggest if you haven't read it yet, to get your hands on it and read it!!</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R29CGWXDJMFXXQ?ASIN=014242417X	Terrific book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">So many reviews here! Allow me to add my positive review to the thousands already here. As a mother of two sons, one still a teenager, one just a few years out of teenagerhood, I was very impressed at how realistic the dialogue here is, it is spot on. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and what a feat, to enable readers to *enjoy* a book with such a serious, sad subject. But it's a serious sad subject that is common to everyone who lives: loss, death, fear, and longing to overcome those things and  just ...live. Enjoy the moment, make the connection, savor.<br/><br/>Is it *just* for kids? No, but the young adults reading it will probably thrum to it the most. At age 57 I skimmed a lot of video game narration. (Teens  may read and reread those parts.) And as not a lover of fiction, I skimmed some romantic poetic descriptive lyrical language paragraphs quickly, wanting to get back to the characters I really, really care about, and the plot.<br/><br/>Recommendation: Definitely, I think every teenage reader I know would like this, and it may turn a teenage non-reader into a reader. Adults will also enjoy it, and want to pass it on to people they love, I bet.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2K46601ASZLVC?ASIN=014242417X	Good Book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This was a good book, nothing more or less. It was just too much of a teenaged romance novel for my tastes. I also thought that the writing style the author used was a little bit on the basic side. I did not agree with his interpretation of some of the poetry that he cited in the book. For instance, Sonnet 55 is one of my favorite poems because it preserves the love Shakespeare felt for the young man to whom the poem was written. I realize that we in the twenty-first century do not know anything about this young man. However, I think that we do remember him because the love he inspired in the Bard has lasted through the centuries in the sonnet. All that said, I felt that the author was making a meaningful comment on the unfairness of life and dumb luck. He also made a good statement on how impermanent human life is. I have found that humans do spend too much time worrying about their legacies and being remembered to appreciate the simple things (like floating petals, first loves, and champagne) that make life worth it. The end of this book did make me cry, so I cannot say that it did not mean anything to me. It did. I just wish I had been able to love it.</span>"

2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1YE2VNCXEZGO2?ASIN=014242417X	A Powerful, Emotional Read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Where do I even start with this one...<br/><br/>John Green did an amazing job with this book. Not only is it well written, touching, and heartbreaking but it is a beautifully, tragic story with an air of truth to it. John Green covers a topic that most people want to avoid because within this book is a topic matter that really pulls the heartstrings- one that could happen to anyone.<br/><br/>Other than that the story centers on a teenage girl with cancer who meets a boy with cancer. The unlikely duo fall in love-- maybe out of shared stories or maybe out of a chance meeting that the universe provided them.<br/><br/>Love, loss, sadness, and happiness surround this book. Readers can identify with the characters EVEN though the story is downright emotional. I really enjoyed it. I highly recommend it. I would definitely read another book by John Green.<br/><br/>P.S -- Even though the story is of the YA genre, all ages can enjoy it. The way the characters communicate isn't juvenile like some YA books out there. Mothers, daughters, grandmothers etc. will get a lot out of this book. Don't let the age level fool you!<br/><br/>Rating: 5 stars -- perfect</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2SB0FP9J3HARY?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault is not in our stars-but in our understanding	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">In the beginning I thought the book was halairious, I was laughing out loud at Hazel Grace's description of the support group and the people in attendance.<br/>Being a cancer survivor myself I liked the fact that she could find humor, acceptance even, in the whole horrible situation. I understand it's written from a 16<br/>Year old's perspective, and often at that age we find a new ""truth"" every other week. However, I felt like the book took a depressing, almost selfish turn.<br/>People get busy, people don't like to be reminded of their own mortality, most people can't fathom what it's like to hear the words cancer, chemo, fight, no guarantee. That doesn't give anyone the right to feel like they own the corner on caring, being a true friend, or the right to judge others who come to pay respect at the funeral. What if no one showed up or left messages, would that make Hazel feel better? I highly doubt it. Being a part of the Universe is realizing the size and grandeur of what we call our existence is about being humble in the presence of the vastness of life and space. Our time is extremely limited as is our understanding of what it all means.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2HSN5K5AA0PUL?ASIN=014242417X	Amanda Corshia MHS Summer Reading	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">For my summer reading, I chose to read The Fault In Our Stars because my sister recommended the book to me and told me that I would like it even though I would not typically read a book of this genre.  I also had many friends who read The Fault In Our Stars and told me that they loved the story and that I should read it.  I would recommend this book to another high school reader because today, many high school student read books that involve a love story.  The love story in this book is about two kids who both have cancer and meet at their support group and try to live the most possible normal life.  I would tell them that people that this book is about a girl who has cancer and how she is dealing with her illness and trying not to have it take over her life.  This book exceeded my expectations because I thought that this story would just be a book about a girl who has cancer and trying to live her life with an illness, but really it is about a girl who is trying to live a normal life even though things may not go the way she would want them to.  I also liked how the girl who inspired this book was from Medway which made this story more appealing to me.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1GAVS9VN3SBQ4?ASIN=014242417X	Funny and Heartbreaking	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Hazel reluctantly attends a support group for adolescent cancer survivors and fighters.  Her parents want her to be more social and she figures that since she's doing a pretty awful thing to them by probably dying young, she can make some concessions.  There at the group she meets Augustus.  He is charming and intense, witty and outrageous, and seems immediately drawn to Hazel.<br/><br/>Almost before she realizes it and against her better judgment, Hazel is drawn into a close friendship, maybe even the start of a romantic relationship, with this boy.  She fights hard against it, wanting to spare him the heartache of becoming attached to her when she knows that she is a terminal case.  Augustus isn't so afraid of heartache that he's willing to give up the chance at a brief moment of happiness, though.<br/><br/>This is a fantastic story, alternating truly devastating passages of grief and pain with dizzying points of absolute joy.  The characters are quirky and clever and I loved getting to know them, even while feeling for most of the novel that I was on the brink of certain tragedy.  The heartache ended up being worth it; this is an excellent book.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1RX5NH810AE7S?ASIN=014242417X	Great book!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I still have a few pages left on the book, but I needed to write this down.<br/>I won't comment on number of pages, the way of words, or any other technical detail of the book.<br/><br/>What I want to share is that I first started this book, and stopped reading after a chapter or two. I was not convinced by the story. But then, a few weeks later, I opened the book again, thinking about its title. And then, I couldn't stop reading.<br/>I am not a cancer survivor, I didn't do great in life, I am not an inspiration to anyone, but this book taught me an amazing thing about love and the fleeting thing called ""life"".<br/>The story is sad, it gets right to the soft parts of the toughest types. It made me appreciate every breath of my life, as it is given, because ""the world is not a wish-granting factory""<br/>I also learned about the power of love and how it thrives against the odds; like a beautiful rose grown between the rocks; like a cactus in the middle of the desert; like an ocean in between one another.<br/><br/>I recommend this book, for the inspiration that gives and for the way it opens eyes about the common things in life.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1Y0YNO9O4VSEZ?ASIN=014242417X	Outstanding!!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Obviously I cried during this book...lol. It wasn't just a story about cancer (which is what I thought.) It was a story about two cancer patients finding love. Hazel found hope just as she kind of was losing it. She found meaning to her life instead of just thinking that it was over. I thought that this book would be corny... No way! I read it in two days without planning too. I couldn't put it down! It made me think differently about my life. Even though they had cancer they didn't sit there feeling bad for themselves. I do that now maybe because I have a cold. These two were strong, independent, and ready for death. But because they knew about death they tried to make the most of their days together. John Greene is an outstanding author! He is the only author to me who has brought so much power to me. It's like after I was done reading it the heat., power, and intensity just radiated off of the book into my heart. You will absolutely love this book no matter who you are! I really hope that you enjoy!<br/>P.S. I've never written a review on anything because I thought it was stupid , but this book just needs to be talked about as much a possible!!!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2NKRGTE5OJFZQ?ASIN=014242417X	A genuine treat	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">For the first time in months I had time for just reading and I couldn't figure out what book to start with. I knew a movie was coming out based on this book so I wanted to see what it was all about. I was unsure at first because I did not want the themes of the book to imitate that of my sister's keeper. To my surprise it was completely different.<br/><br/>The twists were somewhat predictable but I couldn't get over the playfulness of the dialogue full of witty banter and the ability of the author to capture what it was like to fall in love for the first time. Not only did he capture the essence of a first love, he encapsulated the fears that accompany that state of euphoria. Not only was love captured but so was laughter, embarrassment, and frustration. The persistence of Augustus is powerful but his one liners made th is book come alive for me.<br/><br/>I am a reader that not only wants a decent story, but I also want the ability to love the characters and have them come to life with their own personalities, traits, and distinguishing characteristics. If you are looking for a quick read with a real punch of emotion, this is the novel for you!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RMA4VKIAA5O0F?ASIN=014242417X	Believe the Hype	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This had been on my ""to read"" list for a long time. It was recommended first from one of my son's friends who was 14 at the time. It ended up being the book club pick of a club member in her early 30's. And it was enjoyed by all in my book club ranging from early 30's to mid-60's. That's what kind of book this is. Young or old, it speaks to us all.<br/><br/>It wasn't just the story that touched me but also the writing. John Green certainly has a way with words. I highlighted more quotes in this book than almost any other. The way Green strings words together is truly poetic.<br/><br/>As usual, I don't like my reviews to be laden with spoilers. This review could be super long if I wanted to do that, instead it will stay a bit short so as not to ruin anything.<br/><br/>Just know this: under the cancer story is one of the sweetest love stories I've ever read. It was a REAL love story, too. Not just a teen love story either. These ""kids"" have to deal with so many grown up issues, it had to be more than a first love type of story.<br/><br/>All of that being said...go buy, borrow or steal (please don't really steal) this book now!</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1TZNDR5F4KBG5?ASIN=014242417X	An Imperial Affliction	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars is about Hazel who is a sixteen year old girl who has cancer. She has come to terms with her terminal diagnosis and now just goes through the motions of attending support group meetings, going to class and trying to remain cheerful and strong for her parents. But one day at her support group Hazel's life is irrevocably changed when meets Augustus - a gorgeous, funny and intelligent cancer survivor and the two fall hopelessly in love.<br/><br/>Green is a witty, funny and incredibly smart author. His characters are also really smart - maybe too smart for their own good. Sometimes their dialogue and interactions are unbearably pretentious and a few of the moments that are meant to be touching and romantic feel inauthentic and contrived. In a few instances the characters are just not believable.<br/><br/>Despite the aforementioned flaws there are some thought provoking moments and Green deftly handles themes such as life, death and purpose with a sharp sense of humour. This is not just a story about cancer or falling in love but about how in both our darkest and happiest moments we reveal and become more of who we truly are.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2MVOL3YK1PDBD?ASIN=014242417X	A Must Read for Anyone!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">After all the reviews and raves about The Fault in Our Stars I had to finally read it. I have to say that I was very pleased with the book. I enjoyed it and thought it was a wonderful read. Like all other reviews will say it was a sad read as well. I found the book to also have a lot of humor and silliness which was actually enlightening due to the fact the book was already a sad one. The writing the author, John Green, did was fabulous. There was a part in the book where I thought I knew what was going to happen and it actually twisted around. I loved the characters in this story as well. The writer made you feel as if they were your friends who you were laughing and crying with as well. The main character Hazel was a strong character who was stubborn at times but you had to love her. The other main character Gus was such a charmer and oh what he wouldn't do for Hazel. It just melted my heart. I would definitely recommend reading this at least once! There is so much more I'd love to write in this review about the book but I don't want to give away any fine details to readers who have not yet indulged in this book!<br/><br/>Happy Reading! :-)</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R16GXZQZFNKCTY?ASIN=014242417X	BBE  best book ever	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Omg this is my new favorite book. John green you are kind of like my van houten except u seem like a good guy to have written such a good book although hazel thought the same thing of van houten except I have faith in you to be a good person. Some of my friends found it depressing but I found it uplifting I will definitely be telling all of them to read it again and focus more on all the good in the book and not as much that augustus died. Witch though was sad u have to think what it might have been like if he had not past away the book might not have been such a good book. For example think of your favorite book there is always on self defining moment fir the main character for hazel when augustus died she could have just sat around mopping for a long time but instead she was upset and angry for a while she got over it she still loved him of course except she didn't waste her life thinking what if she knew that she wasn't going to spend the rest of her life with him but she loved him anyway and always would. I wish I could write.more but if I did I would cause an even bigger spoiler alert to anyone who hasn't read the book yet so I bid u adoo</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R29VL1K0S8ESG5?ASIN=014242417X	More than a story about Cancer, a story about Love	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I picked this book up expecting to hate it. Excerpts from John Green novels appeared trite and silly, and I felt that as a grown adult, I should be reading intelligent adult fiction like the books that I grew up with. When I finally decided to purchase the book (discounted for my Kindle), not only was I impressed with the writing, but I was sucked into the story of sixteen year-old Hazel and the story of her love with a boy named Augustus Waters.<br/><br/>Though I've read opposing views on whether or not this book does an accurate job of describing adolescence with cancer, I submit that the book itself isn't about cancer, or the experience of surviving or succumbing to it; It's about the mad rush of love teenagers experience, and about the beauty of an adolescent love that never has to grow up and grow past that love. This book was not (for me), about the shortness of life but of the length of love.<br/><br/>Some eternities are, after all, bigger than others.<br/><br/>The Fault in Our Stars is one of my favorite books, and I've now read it three times. Highly recommended for those who enjoy love stories that punch you in the gut.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R32RHLDO85T6KD?ASIN=014242417X	THIS BOOK WAS AMAZING	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was amazing, it consumed me and I finished it in a day and a half. This book makes you think a lot and it really touches the heart. I laughed, cried (a lot), and thought while reading this book. I recommend this book to everyone. This is my favorite book now and I would like to thank John Green. The characters in this book became real people to me and I love all of them. Gus is not real but I miss him dearly. John Green did an amazing job, this story felt real and it is worth far more then it cost. I am twelve and even I know that this is good literature. A fault in our stars has a way of moving you and it really hits home. The fault in our stars also opens you up to how hard it is to have cancer and the struggle. The book really tugged at my heart strings and I truly enjoyed myself. We could not joy with out pain and this book taught me that. Surpassed the 5 star ratings by infinity. The relationship between Augustus and Hazel becomes very bittersweet, if you have yet to read this extraordinary piece then you don't know that Hazel and Gus's word instead of Always (as in always together) is okay and this book is always Okay(:</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2F8EABBYA3PBS?ASIN=014242417X	Need More Stars for Rating!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I can't say enough great things about this book!!! If you've seen the movie trailer and think ""I'm not reading THAT! It's a chick-book!!!"" (as opposed to a 'chick flick'), DON'T WORRY! I can't stand 'chick flicks', or romance novels, et. al. Now, this book does contain a love story, but it also contains plenty of sarcasm, other humor, and 'bulk'.  I don't know one person I wouldn't - or haven't - recommended this book to. It's a very easy read. Honestly, the story is so captivating, you probably won't be able to put the book down. I don't want to describe the story, since 1)I'm sure you can read the book's description, and 2) I'd rather not risk any 'spoilers'. It doesn't matter, though - you NEED to read this book! Plus, if you haven't already, check out John and Hank Green on YouTube!!! I've been subscribed to all of their YouTube channels for quite some time, and found out about John's book that way. If you're workin' in reverse, watch a few of their videos - any of them. Not only will you want to read this book even more, you'll forget where time went because you'll have put on one of their playlists and 'let 'er ride'!!!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R8Z359WFSEZGM?ASIN=014242417X	An all time favorite	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I normally do not read books or watch movies that are tear jerkers, but my adult nephew highly recommended this book. Using the beforehand knowledge as a shield against the assault of emotions did not work. I had to stop reading around chapter five and decide if I wanted to continue reading because I knew it was going to be challenging for me. It didn't take long for me to realize I had to finish it. I am so gad I did! I loved how this book was written. The humor is very heart warming.<br/><br/>I read some of the one star reviews (because I couldn't believe there were any) and saw some said Hazel and Gus didn't sound like teenagers. I have known many teenagers that were extremely intelligent, witty and well read and I think if you were to figure in a life threatening disease, you could see how they would be mature for their age. I found myself forgetting they were so young at times and felt it was plausible because of what they would have been through. And not to mention, it is fiction.<br/><br/>I also noticed many of the reviews are very short. I wonder if it is because the feelings this book provokes is hard to put into words.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RGPY7I7B2Y5B5?ASIN=014242417X	Some books are bigger than other books	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Some infinities are bigger than other infinities...<br/>And some books are bigger than other books...<br/>The fault in our stars shares a slice in the life of terminally ill sixteen year old Hazel-Grace (as Gus calls her). Whilst I have read many young adult novels, I honestly cannot think of another one that has affected me as profoundly as this one.<br/>If you’re looking for escapism, this is the wrong place. But if you’re looking for an honest, down to earth look into the life of young teenagers living with cancer, John Green’s The fault in our stars is as real as it gets.<br/>His use of witty humour, heartbreaking emotion and startling maturity in the words, thoughts and actions of his young cancer victims forces readers to tackle many age old questions head on. Why is there suffering in this world? Can one life make a difference, and the greatest question of all: What is the meaning and purpose of life itself?<br/>The fault in our stars is a story about love, loss, joy, family, and above all – life.<br/>Be prepared to laugh, be prepared to cry (alot) and be prepared to contemplate but don't miss out on this epic story.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R14YF2W5SAYW6D?ASIN=014242417X	Gifted and inspired writing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book delivers, page after page, non-stop.  One of the best written books I've ever had the pleasure to read.  The depth in which Mr. Green develops the characters is off the charts.  Never have I read a novelist with the ability to create such real and complex characters.  It seems that he reached deep within himself and found the most human parts, and then put it on the page for the reader to have a cathartic sharing of what it means to be ""human.""<br/><br/>I cried so hard near the end that my dog came to see what was wrong with me.  The subject matter is death and how the living relates to death/dying and/or defines it.  Not an easy topic to ponder for most people.  The way Mr. Green depicted the behavior of the healthy toward the dying was uncanny.  I have been that person that said truly inept and meaningless things to the bereaved and terminally ill.  How very shallow it seemed when I saw myself on that page, do that!<br/><br/>I will probably read this book again with the intent of taking notes on the points of philosophy the writer has presented.  I'm guessing that a lot of other readers will do the same.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R15OYEFAPJKKZA?ASIN=014242417X	amazing.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">i cannot count how many times i have cried over this book. it was so inspiring, so amazing. it taught me that no matter what condition, if you still love someone and put effort into loving them, they should love you, as well. and if not, then the love isn't truly powerful enough. it taught me that pain is a part of life. life is pain. we don't live to feel pain, but pain exists for us to feel. if someone in your life is dying from a disease, there is really nothing you can do but love them, unconditionally. Augustus left a scar on Hazel. it wasn't the kind of scar where you fall off your bike and a few days later the scrapes are scars. no. it's the kind of scar, that only the people you love can leave on you. Augustus did not leave Hazel. He knew one of them was going to die sooner or later. So did she. their love was so powerful, that no disease could separate them. i understand now. ""it's a metaphor."" in my point of view, the cigarettes Agustus had represented the cancer, and the fact that it wasn't lit, represented the love. Kill the killing thing, before it kills you.<br/><br/>This book, left such a big impact on my life.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3HZOJGDV1SBTF?ASIN=014242417X	Audio Version is Excellent - Highly Recommend	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">As many reviewers have pointed out, this is an amazing book.  I'll just add my thoughts as to the audio CD version.  I've listened to many audio books over the years and this is among the best in terms of production.  Kate Rudd, as the reader/performer, comes across as extremely authentic and compelling both when voicing the female and male characters.  You are never distracted by anything (e.g., poorly done accents, voices not sounding age-appropriate, etc.) so you can be fully engaged in listening to the story.  And, in contrast to some CDs, ""The Fault In Our Stars"" has convenient tracks so that if you have to stop during a CD, you can easily find your place again without having to replay long segments.  Also useful is that each disc starts with the disc number and the last couple of lines from the end of the prior disc.  Not all CDs do that so I really appreciated the easy continuity.  There are 6 discs that run a little over 7 hours listening time but there is so much character development taking place that it doesn't feel too short.  This is one book that I really think gains a lot from being put into audio format.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1ZL8YSQTE68BY?ASIN=014242417X	I'm blown away - on my top 10 all-time favorites list!!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">First I want to review the format of the book I had: I listened to the audio version of this, which was narrated by Kate Rudd. I'd always thought of narrating books as just being able to read out loud clearly but after listening to this I now know it's an art form. Only a few people have the gift and Kate Rudd is at the top of the heap. I almost felt like I was eavesdropping on conversations, not just listening to someone narrate a book. I can't begin to convey what an excellent job she did with this and how much I enjoyed her work!<br/>My review of this book: I don't know if I have the words necessary to describe how powerful this book was. It makes you look at your world differently and will will stay with you forever. I lost count of how many times I laughed out loud and how many times I just sat with tears rolling down my face. It's sad and happy and bittersweet and wonderful, all at the same time. Hazel and Augustus were incredible characters - so well written they seemed like real people but I loved how they also had flaws and weren't perfect. This book moved me so much I almost wish I hadn't read it but am glad I did!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RM4C6IY4OZMKT?ASIN=014242417X	Good book, great writing.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I'd give this a 3.5 star rating if possible. I think part of it was that by time I read it the thing was so overhyped that it was impossible to come in without expectations. But I felt as if I could have told you what would have happened in the story from the first twenty or so pages. I also felt like Augustus was a fairly one-dimensional character. Perhaps that's what tipped me off to the fate of he and Hazel was the way in which he was presented. I get it, they're teenagers so everyone is over-romanticized, but the guy had no flaws it seemed. He was like that interview question about what your flaws are and everyone answers something trite about how they try too hard or organize too much. It's overkill by positivity.<br/><br/>What i did like about this book, though, was its ability to capture life and death in a new way and present a new perspective, especially for its target audience. I would have preferred the author used real bands and authors for its touchstones, but I get why he didn't. For once, a YA book wasn't overwrought with fantasy or weird adult-driven nostalgia. It was raw and real and I can appreciate that.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R102J6YX332RFI?ASIN=014242417X	Philosophical Fiction	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This would have received five stars but if a book deserved a fifth star then the quest for the holy grail of books would be over.<br/><br/>I have been hesitant to read young adult books since I was a young adult many years ago.  However, this book has proved it's worthiness.  The author goes back and forth between normal teenage life to great insights into death and life with great ease.  At times the writing is prose like and the cultivation of characters was so well done that like a painting the reader could almost touch them.<br/><br/>When I finish a book I ask myself what am I going to walk away with from it.  This has given me insight into the perspective of those with terminal illness.  We have to be mindful that each of us is dying, just some are on the fast track.  We are not any better than they because of our health.  Sometimes ""the universe wants to be noticed"".<br/><br/>Lastly, the book acknowledges that no matter how young one is, true love transcends all situations.  Love, like death, is not discriminatory.<br/><br/>Bravo to the author.  I am impressed and the time reading this was extremely well spent.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1NIGHO0WVEXSQ?ASIN=014242417X	5 No Fault Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">So with the moving approaching and my girls telling me with utter desperation that we need to get tickets as soon as they go on sale, I figured I should read the book before I see the movie. Plus I wanted to see what all the fuss was about.<br/><br/>If you are looking for a sweet, warm fuzzy read, well this kind of fits that bill but it is only part of the story. This is a story about kids with cancer. That right there is enough to tip one off that at least one box of Kleenex will be needed. But it is more than kids dealing with cancer, it is about young kids falling in love.<br/><br/>Who doesn't love a young love story. Couple that with some wonderful writing, humor amid the sadness, and just all around excellent camaraderie with the characters and you get a story that is simply excellent. Although intended for a younger audience, adults will love this story just as much. Be warned, your heart will break, tears will flow, and despite all odds against it, you absolutely will be hoping for the author to pull off a miracle. Nope, I'm not gonna tell, this one is a story you need to read yourself to enjoy the beauty in it.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1VCB3LRJ7H6AA?ASIN=014242417X	To Sad	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Almost everything about this book is perfect. Great flow, great style, and great grammar. The characters were all perfectly developed. It was strong and emotional, and very beautiful. I have just finished reading it, and I can't and probably won't sleep all night. I don't know why I love it (present tense;), but almost everything is utter perfection it The Fault In Our Stars. There is only one thing wrong with it.<br/>  It is to profoundly sad. The whole book will eventually leave a permanent scar on my heart. Even though I finished The Fault In Our Stars five minutes ago, I know. Because I can already feel all of my thoughts pour from my heart on to my screen. I am having trouble even seeing the keys. I am wailing at 1:41 AM right now because three hours ago, from page one, I couldn't physically touch the power button. This book has only left me with one deep, question.<br/>  WHY, OH WHY, DOES:<br/>  ""THE UNIVERSE JUST WANT YOU TO NOTICE IT.""! Can I just have one simple answer on why I'm silent screaming right now. Or do you, John Green, not know yourself the answer? I just want one, ""OKAY""! ""OKAY""! ""Okay""? ""okay""?....</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R23J4BLBG1FI89?ASIN=014242417X	An incongruously beautiful story about love, strength, and cancer	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Where do I start? When I heard The Fault In Our Stars was a story about two teenagers with cancer, it sounded grim and depressing. I did not want to pick it up, much less buy it. Strong recommendations from friends changed my mind.<br/><br/>I will never, ever, regret listening to my friends again.<br/><br/>This is not a story about two teenagers with cancer; it is a story about two teenagers who just HAPPEN to have cancer. It is honest and funny and sad and uplifting; it is almost impossible to explain. How can I, with my eyes swollen and reddened from bawling, truly explain to anyone that this book is absolutely beautiful? How can I tell my husband, a man who frequently deals with my tearful, sometimes angry, reactions to many books, that I am not depressed? Saddened, yes, but depressed? Not at all; I feel privileged.<br/><br/>The story of Hazel Grace, with her terminal cancer that requires her to wear oxygen, and Augustus Waters, a boy who lost his leg to osteosarcoma but has an 80% chance of survival, will stick with the reader for days. And, you will definitely reread it again and again.<br/><br/>I know I will.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2K4EHHO2N5O5V?ASIN=014242417X	Good vocabulary but not so easy at some points.Even if you don't like tragedy or romance, I think you should read this book.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Amazing life changing book. Cried for two hours straight from the middle of the book till the end...<br/>I usually never write book reviews but this one deserves it.<br/>So many meanings and symbols, it's just... I can't even find the right word to describe how much it amazed me...<br/>I loved Hazel and Augustus -their characters, their passions and beliefs....<br/>I was so into the book and so connected with Hazel that when I put the book down, I felt like I couldn't breathe (like I was the one who had lung cancer). Even more so, when I had to climb down a few stairs.<br/>I fell in love with Augustus, just like Hazel did... I loved the way he thought and loved the metaphors he saw in everything he did...<br/>This book shows the vulnerability of a human in the pure mercy of a sickness -like cancer. It shows an awful side of reality many of us don't want to even know about... It shows the human's courage and the same human's moment of falling apart.<br/>It tells us a lot about the hopelessness of people suffering. It shows us Cancer: &lt;&lt;A war to fight, a civil war, a war with a predetermined winner&gt;&gt;.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2ZHP5PE870IAM?ASIN=014242417X	"the ""I fell in love the way you fall asleep"" quotation"	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I am a huge fan of YA literature, and John Green has SUCH an online presence that I was very excited to finally get my hands on this. It is a very quick, emotional read. First and foremost, I will stay that it is an enjoyable book. However, I do agree with some other reviewers, that particularly pointed out the dialogue. As someone who is 22 years old, not so far from my teenage years, I found it bizarre the way Augustus and Hazel Grace would speak to each other. It really jarred me out of the moment. I do feel that some of the more popularized moments of the book (August and his cigarette metaphor, the ""I fell in love the way you fall asleep"" quotation, etc.) are a bit overrated. That said, I thought it was a refreshing twist at the end (spoiler alert) when the seemingly in remission Augustus dies first, and I heartily enjoyed the sometimes black humor the teenagers had about their illness. Any scenes with Isaac were particularly hilarious. Despite its flaws, I do recommend reading and heartily enjoying this novel - just be wary of the online hype. I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for the Green brothers.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3DX269RTMRSQ7?ASIN=014242417X	If you liked the teens in the movie Juno, you'll love Hazel and Gus	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Ooh, boy. The Fault in Our Stars was incredible. Just as good as I could have hoped, but then again, I enjoy melancholy, soul-crushing stories. Hazel is a bit like Juno from the movie Juno--as quick-witted and quippy as any teenager has ever striven to be, able to spin a phrase instantaneously instead of coming up with the right words a few minutes too late. Somehow she meets another broken soul, a hopelessly gorgeous boy who happens to crush on her basically the instant their eyes meet. John Green uses age-old tropes but somehow manages to spin them into a meaningful and impactful whole. Everything plays out a bit like I expected, but it is the shining moments--the sparkling few in the subset of infinities between the numbers 1 and 313 that comprise the pages of the book--that make the book so worthwhile. There is some serious philosophy and genuine thought that is couched in this book gobbled up by young adults the nation over. Hopefully readers are keen enough to slow down and take them in--and then are inspired to slow down in their own lives and take in their moments, because all of our infinities eventually end.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RNZ4BU4BA75YH?ASIN=014242417X	Not AS sad as I thought	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">A friend of mine read this book and it came highly recommended. As she described the story, she got emotional, and I happen to be a sap so I decided against reading it. I kept seeing the cover pop up on my kindle and eventually gave in.<br/><br/>About the book: I will first say that it was really hard to follow in areas because I had no idea what some of the words/sentences meant. (Honesty is the best policy) And I think that while Hazel, Augustus, and Isaac lightened the mood with their cancer jokes, they also seemed to sort of ""miss life"" by trying to figure it out too thoroughly. This may possibly be the normal reaction given their situations. These are the only reasons that I gave four, instead of five stars.<br/><br/>The emotion in this book is felt deep. And it caused me to try and understand what people (even children) go through in a battle against disease. Thankfully the author didn't dwell on impending death and reactions from family members about diagnosis and treatments. The primary focus in this book is about the fight, something so seemingly heroic, that truly is just a necessity for the patients.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R20YTXXY40UIQ3?ASIN=014242417X	A Captivating Book: filled with romance and life!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was absolutely beautiful and gave such a realistic image of the battle of cancer and how it alters  a person's life from their declining health to the very relationships they have built or tried to build. John Greene did a wonderful job and I must say that I am very excited to see the motion picture. Yes, the book was captivating and drew me in as a reader. So...why four stars, you ask? The storyline was excellent and was very creative but as drawn in as I was at times the long, scattered monologues with a plethora of philosophical thinking and analyzing was a bit too much for me. The characters were very eccentric which served as both a pro and con. For me the only, con was that sometimes it went off-topic or was very hard to follow. Pro: I loved the things that they though about because like myself I enjoy thinking in New and innovative ways. Also, their love was true. Not the typical cliche romances often depicted in today's media. Their love was refreshing and it was nice to see them grow together and what they meant to one another. I definitely recommend this book. I hope my review helped :) enjoy.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2PFBLBG6R8HLL?ASIN=014242417X	WOW!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">When one of my friends recommended I read ""The Fault in Our Stars,"" I looked it up and wondered why he was recommending it to a college age male. But it was a friend who I trusted so I decided to give it a try.  I took out a hold on the book from my library's ebook collection, (I was number 8000 on the list) and after 3 months I finally got my chance to check the book out.  I was blown away. The story is well written and absorbing, even for someone who is not necessarily in the target audience.  Along with the the story, The author also manages to dose us with a number of life lessons which can be appreciated by everyone young or old, healthy or, god forbid, unwell. The story left me with many ideas to ponder and I wholeheartedly recommend it to everyone (though some elements, like the constant underlying discussion of death, as well as some of the aspects of the romance, could make it unsuitable for children and some younger teens). There were also some elements of the ending that I intuited as the story went on (I'm trying to avoid spoilers), but this, as is often the case, may have been intended by the author.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R320RWH5918HBF?ASIN=014242417X	This book is a piece of art and has become one of my all time favorite book.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is my first book review. With that you might imagine I don't read a lot... But I happen to be one of the most avid readers my friends and family know of.<br/>I am 18, from Brazil. This book, for a teenager, is a perfect insight in what cancer is and what it causes to people diagnosed with it... It shows in full detail how LIFE is, and shows, too, that the cancer patients feel like a side effect... I have a grandfather that has been diagnosed with cancer and survived. It is a constant struggle and worrying that it might come back, and what to do after... But even though having someone I love so much with the disease, I never saw cancer as I saw with this book.<br/><br/>It just blew me away.<br/>I will buy it for him and the rest of my family. I will write on the cover that they are not scars to me, they are marks. That I love them. That they meant too much for me even to describe. I will thank their existence and say that even though they haven't changed the world, they changed me. They changed me and I will die with that in my mind. After all, that is what seems to be relevant<br/><br/>Never give up.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R763FXMEAO678?ASIN=014242417X	This book has been probably the best book that i have read in a long time	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book has been probably the best book that i have read in a long time. I usually do not enjoy reading most books because of the slow pace and not a lot of action. But i really actually enjoyed this book. This book is about a 16 year old girl named Hazel Lancaster, who is living with terminal thyroid cancer, which caused her lungs to be weak and need an oxygen tank, who also narrates the story as you progress through. Early on the story, it is at a support meeting that she meets a boy named Augustus Waters, who lost his leg to a tumor on his leg. And he soon becomes a person that Hazel wants to be around, and enjoys hanging out with. And for the rest of the story, it is very interesting to hear their stories as the book progresses. The characters were so realistic, that about half way through the book, i forgot that the characters were fictional, and i actually felt for the characters. But even though the story was very good, and i enjoyed it for the most part, there was a couple parts of the story where i thought it was a little slow, and that it was a slow pace. But overall, i thought it was a great book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RIYE73YR2CHJJ?ASIN=014242417X	Wow.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I picked up this book due to the impending movie. I knew nothing about what it was about, other than it's recent young adult fiction and they made a movie based on it. Much like City of Bones and Twilight, I expected to utterly despise it and use it as more fodder for my lamentations on the horribly written dreck that is published and foisted off on unsuspecting young adults these days.<br/><br/>I could not have been more wrong. This may be one of my top ten favorite books of all time. It's beyond beautifully written. Yes, it's still a young adult love story, but it is so, so much more than that. It has laugh-out-loud funny dialogue somehow perfectly interwoven into chapters so heartbreaking I was tearing up too much to continue reading. It's never cliche or unrealistic. In fact, it's staggering in its realism.<br/><br/>This deserves every bit of the accolades it's received so far—I'm now worried the movie will never be able to do it justice. I hope it pleasantly surprises me, as well.<br/><br/>Please, please read this book! We need more young adult fiction—or any type of fiction—written of this caliber.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R11ZRDC42K2J4G?ASIN=014242417X	Emotionally amazing love story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Warning: get your tissues ready. I knew this book was going to be emotional, but I wasn't fully prepared.<br/><br/>Hazel Grace is a 16 year old, only child, who has been diagnosed with cancer. She has essentially been given a death sentence.  Her doting parents have made it their life mission to provide the best life they can with what time she has left. Hazel starts attending a support group for kids with cancer and meets an unlikely friend. Hazel tries to make herself emotionally unavailable, but can't help but be charmed by Augustus Waters.<br/><br/>I hesitated to read this book because I am prone to tears...commercials can make me cry!  I went against my initial thoughts and picked it up anyway, and then couldn't put it down. John Green did an amazing job at capturing the feelings of these two teenagers as well as the friends and family involved. After I finished the book, I felt lost. Not because of the writing or the storyline itself, but because I wanted more. I felt so involved with the characters that I didn't want to stop.<br/><br/>Pick up the book, but make sure you pick up some tissues first!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2R43N27MNW8A3?ASIN=014242417X	A beautiful and unique emotional rollercoaster	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">After reading many customer reviews on this book, I downloaded a sample to my Kindle and I couldn't wait to buy it. It got me from the very first pages.<br/>I find it hard to believe that this amazing book is so cheap. It's so well written, the characters felt very real to me. And it also left me thinking about what these kids go through every day, what anyone with cancer has to face each day. You can try to imagine, but I guess you never really get it unless you're the ill one.<br/>The first half of the book is really adorable, as the relationship between Hazel and Augustus grows. I loved the ""macho/dude/whatever"" friendship between Isaac and Augustus. Of course as the story goes on I couldn't stop crying but it's a fascinating book. Why fascinating? Because I think the author managed to cover each and every emotion everyone involved in this situation (patient, family, friends) goes through, and makes you feel them as well.<br/>I laughed, got angry and cried. I really recommend this book. It's a lesson about living life as best as we can and being true to ourselves in what we do with the time we are given.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R21U7XN2Q54NO1?ASIN=014242417X	A Must Read for all ages!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Although with over 16,000 people basically saying the same thing, I'm not sure another review is necessary; however, I still felt compelled to add my applause for The Fault in Our Stars. As cancer has touched my family several times, I was hesitant to read this book fearing it would be too depressing. However, as the accolades mounted, I eventually broke down and purchased it, deciding I could always stop reading if it became too much. I literally could not put the book down and finished it in two days then immediately went back to Chapter 1 and started again - something I do not ever recall doing. Although there are some very touching moments, and parts did make me cry, I also laughed and rejoiced in the gift that life is and the many simple pleasures that we overlook. The book defines ""honest emotion"" and even though some of the humor has been labeled as dark, and it probably is, I think that it also illustrates that when life is at its toughest, you need humor the most....and sometimes dark days require dark humor.<br/>If you've been thinking about reading this book....do it. You won't regret it.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RSB0ASH8YQ9T5?ASIN=014242417X	Definitely a must-read for both young adults and adults!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">When I got to the end of “The Fault in Our Stars” by John Green, I thought, “Whoa…this can’t be the end. My Kindle version must have malfunctioned.” But after I thought about it, I decided there can be no better ending.<br/><br/>Beautifully written, this book has captured the young adult fiction world but transcends into the adult. It appears on list after list after list of bests and must-reads…both YA and adult.<br/><br/>I won’t soon forget Hazel and Gus and Isaac and Van Houten and Lidewij Bliegenthart and all they went through together. Enough said. Just read the book!<br/><br/>In theatres earlier this month, the film is getting rave reviews. Perhaps I’ll see it with my sister-in-law Cathy. I’m usually disappointed in films of books I love, but perhaps this one will be different.<br/><br/>Rottentomatoes.com says, “Wise, funny, and heartbreaking without resorting to exploitation, ‘The Fault In Our Stars’ does right by its bestselling source material.” Out of 155 critics rating the film, 81% give it a positive review. Audience members posting ratings at the site give it an average rating of 4.4/5.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2Y4618OM48KN0?ASIN=014242417X	Excellent narration	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The way the writer uses language to describe sensations, scenery, thoughts, etc. is amazing. The conversations between the characters or the way they act or think is very realistic and entertaining.<br/>It's a very different book from the normal YA ones, that in my opinion deserves to be read.<br/>I really liked the book, but that doesn't mean that I liked everything about it (that's why I am giving it 4 stars). In my opinion, Hazel, one of the main characters if not the main one, got to a point where she became too negative and found fault in everything everyone did or said in a way that was tiring, just because it wasn't how she thought or acted. Although I think its normal for a teenager but it bothered me a little, especially when she used sarcasm to disrespect her parents, with the excuse of being misunderstood.<br/>Another thing I didn't liked about the book was the fast pace it took from the end of chapter 13 to the beginning of chapter 21 (I don't want to give an spoilers). It felt like race to finish the book as soon as possible.<br/>Anyway, I hope I explained myself the best I could, I tried.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3K00FOMTOBSU?ASIN=014242417X	One of the Best I've Ever Read!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Easily the best young adult novel I've read in my life. It has all the casualness and the wit a young adult novel should have, but doesn't dumb the world or the language down like most of them do. It gives you something beautiful, rich, eloquent, full of metaphors and developed, rich, lovable characters. It builds your heart up, stomps I t to mush, then builds it back up anew. It left me just loving life. If you want, you can read my original review below, which I blurted out in the semi hysterics of having just finished the book:<br/><br/>I don't know. What you want me to say? It was amazing. Right now I'm just sort of bobbing in the wake of its awesomeness like whoa! The prose was beautiful. Eloquent. Made me use the Kindle dictionary a lot and I loved it! The dialogue was witty, the narration style was so wonderfully colorful and the narrator was so casual-sassy-smart-teenish. The characters were developed into beautiful, beautiful people who I just loved reading about. The metaphors...ohh the metaphors! I'm still trying to decrypt some of them! What are you doing still reading this?? Go buy it! NOW!!</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1NUJ0AGZ395SG?ASIN=014242417X	Beautiful	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I knew reading this book was going to be ugly, ugly as in REALLY ugly.<br/><br/>No, no, not the story or the writing, those were beautiful. Beyond beautiful really, they were gorgeous.<br/><br/>No, the ugliness came all from me. Ugly as in, now my eyes are red and swollen and my face is a mess and I may have gone through a whole box of tissues and yet still managed to chock out a laugh every now and then ugly.<br/><br/>Gosh I loved this story, because after all, as the story goes, pain, is meant to be felt.<br/><br/>What does one say about a masterpiece?<br/><br/>I loved Augustus, I loved Hazel and I would like to believe that I am a better person because of them. Because I was able to read their story, to share in their love for one another.<br/><br/>I still can't really express all I felt while reading this story or all the I feel now that it is over other than to tell you, it was a beautiful one to behold. An emotional one and one I do not regret reading, not for a minute, ugly tears or not. Swollen eyes or not.<br/><br/>Thank you John Green for writing something so poignant and wonderful.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3E1BN3D7UHCHB?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in the book!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">It was absolutely very beautifully written. But I didn't like it for several reasons. Reason one was the age of the kids. Had they been nineteen or twenty I could buy the uber intelligent thought processes and vocabulary, (plus the sex involved in falling in love, they are sixteen and seventeen) Reason two, the three main characters all were given basically the same smart funny voice by the author which wasn't realistic.<br/><br/>But probably for me the main reason was not understanding why at least One of the kids could not be a winner in the battle against stupid cancer. My niece has cancer and there Are winners, there Are cures. There should have been one of the main characters in the support group who didn't get sick again, who wasn't bound to die or be blind eventually. One who wasn't let down by every other person other than their parents. Just a very personal reason for being negative. I am sure to get backlash because most people do love this book.<br/><br/>I gave it two stars rather than one because the writing is as stated, very beautiful.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2ZXUPS2UQ0Y6Y?ASIN=014242417X	A must read for all writers, so well written!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was very well written, I felt like it was a writer's read. I was recommended this book last summer and finally got around to reading it. I don't think I'll watch the movie, because the book was good enough just as a book. I love the voice, which I feel never quite translates into a movie, and I love Hazel's attitude towards the world and her situation. It's sad, of course, but you expect that going into it. I love the literary and art references (The Treachery of Images - actually on Jeopardy last week!), the title taken from Shakespeare, and the way that the book follows a 'in a cancer story, this is where this happens...but here is what happens for us' sort of story line. It is not too complicated of a story, and maybe not my favorite story ever in the sense of plot, but the emotions feel real and I really felt for the characters in this book. Lately I've been comparing everything YA that I read to John Green and nothing has quite lived up to this one yet! Definitely recommend this book!!! Overall, if you're looking for a YA book that's also a great piece of writing, this one can't be missed.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1OTDV5RQ91NC1?ASIN=014242417X	Stars to TFiOS	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I really loved this book. I was suppose to be reading this book for English Honors instead, The Bluest Eye. It's funny cause that was mentioned in the book. I also read Julius Caesar last month so I was pleasantly surprised when I found out Cassius' line about Destiny was a big influence in this book. I'm not the type to enjoy love stories, but I instantly fell in love with Augustus Waters and his relationship with Hazel. The world would be a Utopia of happy women if every man was an Augustus Waters. I cried, no, sobbed all last night reading this book. The only flaw to this book is that Augustus and Hazel didn't spend enough time together. They feel in love too quickly and I feel there wasn't enough of that love because the book ended so quickly. I wish it was longer. I also wish there had been a scene with them looking at the constellations while (SPOILER ALERT) Gus was dying. Either way I still loved it. If you like to read tragedies, or you just like to read depressing writings like I, then this is highly recommended. Also to those who love romances but not sappy ones. The writing is also amazing.</span>"

2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R31NHO8ND1BKL2?ASIN=014242417X	Surprisingly touching, deftly written young adult crossover	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">If you've read that this is a Young Adult book and have hesitated to read it on that basis, resist that reluctance and get this book now. It is one of those novels that may have been slotted for the YA market, or perceived that way initially, but that is wonderful for readers of all ages who love quality fiction.<br/><br/>This novel is wry, witty, poignant of course (but not in a sappy way) and is one that stuck with me for some time after putting it down. Oh, and I wouldn't read too many reviews about it. I went in totally cold--having seen only the book on someone's desk and receiving the admonition to read it--and was glad for that. I went home the same day, bought it on the kindle and read it in two big gulps, but had I started earlier could easily have read it in one sitting which might have been even better. A couple of plot elements strain credulity and are therefore briefly distracting (hence the 4 and not 5 stars), but luckily these are few.<br/><br/>Anyway: get ""The Fault in Our Stars,"" and read it. It is easily one of the best books I've read in years and might be for you, too.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3BKHJSSY6F4D4?ASIN=014242417X	"""That's the thing about pain, it demands to be felt."" And you WILL feel it."	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Luh-uh-uhve this story, these characters. Hazel is so refreshingly real. She's me, she's my best friend; she's so genuinely normal, except for the fact that she is seventeen and has cancer. (Which is quickly becoming more and more 'normal' in our world.)<br/><br/>John Green, you are a master. I'm a 30 year old, married mom of one, yet you so beautifully crafted this story that I gladly, easily, quickly (on page one), handed over my heart for you to shred into tiny pieces. And the truth is, I would do it again without a thought.<br/><br/>I ached with you, Hazel Grace. And when you said, ""I do.."" on that last page, I ached with you all over again. I'm doing it now, typing this review.<br/><br/>Of course, I think the book is far superior to the movie. And I loved the movie. Cried like a baby, wanted to walk down the hall and wake my baby just to hold him tight. This is more than a simple book. ""That's the thing about pain, it demands to be felt."" And you WILL feel it. This story forces you to count your blessings, and reach out in compassion to those around you who are suffering.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R29I5DBDPPSUR9?ASIN=014242417X	Emotional and Schmaltzy.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I enjoyed reading ""The Fault in Our Stars"" by John Green. I found it believable and I liked everything about the story, except for the language used by the young adults the book is about. As other reviewers have pointed out, young adults just don't talk like that; and neither do the great bulk of older people.<br/><br/>That one problem I had with the book is really a minor one, however, as all the characters were well developed by Mr. Green and I did like Hazel Grace, Augustus and Isaac, the protagonists of the story. It was, I think, a difficult story to tell, about young people, cancer, love and dying. And I think the author did an excellent job of it with caring and humor, sprinkled with a little bit of angst and real anger. There's also a story within the story: the book written by Mr. Van Houten, and it's ending, that Hazel and Augustus ponder over. And what affect the book, and the author, have on them both.<br/><br/>There are so many reviews I won't go into the story itself, as it's been told, but I will say it caused some interesting emotion to well up. But then, I've always been a sucker for schmaltz.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RYG2M7YLI9ORF?ASIN=014242417X	"""The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves."""	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I had heard a lot about this book, and after a few of my friends in our close-knit group read it, I decided to enlighten myself with it as well.<br/>When I started the book, I was afraid my high expectations and the popularity of the novel would lead to me disliking it. I have never been more wrong. The characters, the plot, the writing style, everything about it was perfect.<br/>I will start with my opinion on the characters. I fell in love with each of the character immediately. My favorite thing about them was that they were not perfect. They each had they're own flaws and made mistakes, and I connected with them. I understood them. I loved Hazel's sense of humor and the way Gus was so positive and strong.<br/>The plot was fresh and unlike anything else I've read. It was wonderful. It made me smile and laugh one moment, and then I'd be brought to tears the next. It was definitely an emotional ride.<br/>Overall, I highly recommend this book. I feel everyone should experience this novel in order to survive. Once you read it, you'll wonder how you lived without knowing of Gus and Hazel's story.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R20Y2FFY9PQ30L?ASIN=014242417X	Brilliance in a Book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Two days ago I finished The Fault In Our Stars by John Green.<br/><br/>Wow, what a brilliant book!<br/><br/>Amazon has over 11,000 reviews on their site for this book.  So what can I possibly say that hasn't been said?  Probably nothing.  But that doesn't stop me from wanting to celebrate another glorious book, one that kidnapped my heart for a while.<br/><br/>It's a story about two kids with cancer that fall in love.  It's eye-opening and great and painful.  I think I'm allergic to the materials in the book, however, because my eyes watered up a few times.  Which is really weird because I read it on a Kindle.<br/><br/>Kids living with terminal illness is a subject I can't pretend to fully comprehend.  I am not sure that real-life victims can either; not everyone can be Plato or Socrates and contemplate and understand life perfectly.  However, I imagine this book gives us a good idea of what those kids think about--the jokes they make to cover up the pain--or the surprising depth of understanding, even at such a young age.  The realism is breathtaking.<br/>John Green ... wow.  Well done.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R182TAPVJQ9WC0?ASIN=014242417X	"Why do publishers insist on calling certain books ""young adult fiction""?"	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">John Green's ""The Fault in Our Stars"" blew me away. A friend of mine was reading the novel, and I easily pushed away her recommendation. I scoff at the idea of ""young adult fiction"" and steer clear of these novels -- they're below me. But something attracted me to the premise: two teenagers with cancer, dealing with existential questions. It's not traditionally a youthful conversation.<br/><br/>I decided to read the first chapter and was hooked by the prescient and accurate portrayal for those affected by cancer and other illnesses. Green has a masterful ability to convey the disgust by sufferers -- for those who try to overly sympathize. He captures the essence of the disease of cancer and terrible reality that awaits. All the while, he beautifully honors the struggle of his characters -- it's a gift.<br/><br/>I won't ruin the plot or book, but I must give one warning. I'm not a crier usually; if anything, I'll leak a tear at a good book. ""The Fault in Our Stars"" led to true crying for the last quarter of the book. It touched me deeply. Five stars, without any doubt.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2FL6U5SS5OCR3?ASIN=014242417X	No fault here	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book did things to me. It is such a sweet story about love and loss. Dealing with the lot that life has given you and being bold in the face of every obstacle that is thrown your way. There were moments that made me burst out in laughter and others that had me hugging the pillow and crying.<br/><br/>The book follows the life of Hazel who is living with cancer. Her mom is making her live by going out to a support group. This is where she meets Augustus. Hazel &amp; Gus' love story is inspiring and heartbreaking all at the same time. Those two are wise beyond their years and suffer more than any teenager should.<br/><br/>There is a fun cast of secondary characters as well. Isaac is their mutual friend from the support group. He plays a pretty significant role in both of their stories. And both Hazel &amp; Gus' parents play big rolls in the book.

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1OU8PHIMUOYN5?ASIN=014242417X	Speechless	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is not a 'feel good, cosy up next to the fire' kind of book, it is real. And it has been a while since I read something real. I wish I could say that I cried while reading this book, but sadly I didn't. I really wanted to cry, to cry at the sad moments, and the moments when you think to yourself, ""wow, that it what strength is..."". I enjoyed this book, it was in a way, a wake up call to remind me, ""oh yeah, there isn't always a happy ever after"". I would not recommend this book to anyone under middle school age, because these kids are going through cancer, and some parts could be pretty hard to read, and if you try to skip those parts you will be disappointed, because the worst of them had caught me off guard. I would recommend this book to anyone age appropriate though, something worth a shot at even if you may not be interested in the type of book. This book did wonders for me, it changed my perspective, (which is pretty hard to do) and I was rather impressed with these characters. I am glad I tried something new. I hope that if you do decide to try it you enjoy it as much a I did.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R28CA7Y46T2EXI?ASIN=014242417X	Dialogue: A Response	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I've seen a great many reviews knocking the dialogue for the fact that it is rather truthfully contrived and 99% of teens don't talk like this in any way, shape or form. That being said, I give you what passes as real, honest dialogue by today's teenagers:<br/><br/>Hazel: I've accepted that I'm going to die, but that doesn't mean it won't suck.<br/>Augustus: Yeah, it's like you're trying to climb a bunch of stars but keep tripping on your way up (or whatever cheesy metaphor fits your fancy)<br/><br/>We've all had feelings that we weren't able to express, feelings that we don't have the words to describe. Green took two intensely feeling teenagers and gave them the words necessary to explain the utter hopelessness and gloom that takes hold of terminally ill patients. If the dialogue were real and honest, the message would have been lost.<br/><br/>I loved this book, and I respect just about any viewpoint to the contrary, but the dialogue is perfect in that the message is allowed to be told and not suffer from the lack of words those of us who aren't professional authors inherently have.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3FN4UIUB41YDH?ASIN=014242417X	The fault in our stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">If you've never read this book before, here's a quick review.<br/>~spoilers~<br/>There are 313 pages, You don't meet Augustus waters till page 8, he doesn't speak till page 11. He leaves us on page 263. That is 253 pages from when we meet him to when he leaves. And in those 253 pages he's Physically in 176 of them. And  that's all it took. We slowly, then all at once, fell in love with Gus just as Hazel did. His love for metaphors, his fear of oblivion, his goofy smile, prosthetic leg, everything. And when he leaves, there's this hole in your heart. You feel Hazel's pain and you cry with her, and sympathize with her, and at the end, you'll cry, and smile, feeling empty but satisfied. And you'll never be the same again.<br/><br/>This book is truly amazing, if you have not read it I strongly suggest you do. I've read it more than once, and every time I read it, I fall in love all over again. John Green, I hope you write more books in the future. you can count on me to buy it. you are a truly amazing writer and you've changed my life, your book helped me get through hard times. Thank you.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2CZOKZFGHM6YT?ASIN=014242417X	Believe the Hype	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Unfortunately I am one of those people that didn't have the pleasure of reading this novel ""before the movie came out,"" but this doesn't mean that I enjoyed it any less. I honestly thought that Hazel and Gus were far too advanced thinkers for teenagers, and quite frankly, I felt inferior while reading because I am the same age as them! However, this did not lessen my enjoyment and simultaneous pain while reading. I knew it was going to be sad, but I didn't know it would cause sobbing into my pillow sadness. Like seriously John? Freaking cancer to the most amazing couple? I honestly didn't like Hazel much until she met Gus. He awakened something in her that had been dead since 'PreMiracle'. He taught her (and me as a reader) how to enjoy the simple pleasures of live while we are able to. I just can't take this. I feel so bad for them. I'm still crying, and the worst part of it all is that Hazel is inspired by a real girl who died from cancer. Thank you John Green, for crushing me while at the same time making me laugh, smile, cry, and learn how to ""live the best life today.""</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R24LCIW1W3CFVX?ASIN=014242417X	A Life Changer	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is literally an eye opening, life changing, sad, romantic, and funny view into the mind of a teenager or just a kid with cancer. The way that it shows how people with cancer probably feel is perfect. It gives you an insight in to a teenagers life as well. This book follows Hazel's adventure with a boy also diagnosed with very heartbreaking cancer and their arguments, their jokes, their love. Most books you read today, they always have a happy ending...but that's not how ""the universe"" works. Green, in his book, displays reality. Some people are healthy, some people are sick, some people fight, some people give up, some people die, some people live and have to move on...no matter how hard that is. When some one dies, you're never going to be ready for it. Hazel's a perfect example of a person who just gets it, she knows how to leave this world and how to get over something, even when you really care about it.<br/><br/>I honestly cried the whole last 5 chapters<br/>This book is really worth reading, it's worth your years, and it will definitely become one of your favorite books.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2QHEOMJLPE9IN?ASIN=014242417X	Tear jerker	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">""The Fault in Our Stars"" is an incredible book to say the least. It made me laugh and it made me cry, a lot. I wept and then wept some more. I didn't have any Kleenex tissue to wipe my tears, so I used my blanket. This story will touch your heart and pull of every string you have. I haven't seen the movie yet, but I hear it's great and does the book justice. That's actually saying a lot since most movies don't ever seem to be able to accomplish that comparitively speaking. I look forward to the opportunity to see the movie. Author Mr. John Green is extremely gifted in his writing capabilities to pull such raw vivid emotion out of his readers. When an author has accomplished that he/she has succeeded and has much to be proud of. I would love the chance to meet Mr. John Green one day and get his autograph and have a wonderful chat with him about how he came up with this touching tale. His talent and imagination knows no bounds. Many congratulations to John Green on his wildly successful book and movie. I highly recommend ""The Fault in Our Stars"" story, it will take you away... ~ Boni Michelle McCombs</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2RNTAHJX92APY?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in Our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">When I read I like to escape real life. So when I saw that this book was about kids with cancer I wasn't sure it was a book for me. Cancer is a heavy subject and kids with cancer is even heavier. But after seeing all the glowing reviews, I decided to give it a try. Once I started I couldn't put it down.<br/><br/>Being from a family that has been affected by cancer many times, I feel like the author was able to convey what it's like to watch as someone you battles for their life. I have watched many loved ones fight the fight but with this book I feel I was able to get a peek into what it was like for my loved ones as they fought.<br/><br/>Don't get me wrong, this book was not dark and dreary, quite the opposite. I found myself smiling and laughing throughout the book and the relationship between Hazel and Gus was very heartwarming. I loved the dialogue between these two. I also loved the fact that they were very real. They didn't sugar coat the illness or what they go through living with it. This book touched me in a way no other has before. It will resonate with me for a long time.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RN8BPWY9QUD35?ASIN=014242417X	John Green is a Genius,	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This was my first John Green book, not only did I read it, I bought it on audible, and saw the movie as well.  I like books that make me feel what the characters are going through. John Green does that and more.  This a beautiful love story, it's a gut wrenching story about kids with cancer, and an angry author.  Augustus was a rock for Hazel, I'm not sure how many grown men could have been that much of a rock for their wife in that situation. Hazel  is defiantly a heroine, strong and wise beyond her years.<br/>I've recommend this book to people and they tell me a flat NO! Why would I want to read something so sad? Was this book sad? Did this book make me cry? Well, yes it did. The sweet light reads are great and from time to time I read those. They normally get rated a three from me. Why, you may ask?  They do not provoke any feeling in me.  This book will make you laugh too!  You will laugh out loud. It will make you sigh!  I say even if you do not like sad books, give this a chance, it could just change your life!  Give you another way to think about things, you have that control.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R35RP81JULAGY6?ASIN=014242417X	Well done	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is perhaps the most fascinating book I've read yet!!! I've had many recommendations from friends and that I wouldn't be disappointed and indeed I wasn't! This book  so much promise to it and I fantasize about being as good of a writer as John Green. The fact that he can make a love story about two kids with cancer and focus more on the love than the cancer is beyond me! I wanted to rip out Peter's throat when he denied a dying girl's wish -.- this story is as comical as it is inspiring!!! I never thought that I would be interested in love stories but this story opened up my eyes and caused me to have a different outlook on life in a way such that you don't have to leave a mark on the world or be the hero, but instead to just go throughout life with a positive outlook and touch as many people as you can. ""The fault we leave on the world are so often scars"" -John Green. Well done!!!!! A great book that is sure to touch readers hearts all over. ""You don't get to choose if you get hurt in this world but you do get a say in who hurts you. I like my choices. I hope she likes them too""</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R29THNGRD60NHD?ASIN=014242417X	"No ""Faults"" Here"	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I originally read this book through my school library. I then felt the need to reread it , so I took it out again. When I realized Amazon had ""The Fault in Our Stars"" for $5 on Kindle I couldn't pass it up. This was the second John Green book I'd read, and it is still my favorite. I recommend it for people who like to think about books long after they've finished reading them. I want to teach a course just on this book. It's a goldmine of great quotes and great characters.  John Green is of a breed of now-rare YA authors that can write about life and death without a dystopian, post-apocalyptic backdrop. If I hadn't known better, I would have thought TFIOS had actually been written by a teenager girl- and I mean this in the pest possible way. Every time I read it I am astounded by its accuracy, humor, and heart.  And, perhaps most remarkably, it features a father who cries easy. Better yet, this father is not weak because of his tears, but perhaps a stronger character for them. And you will be, too, once you have dried your eyes after reading ""The Fault in Our Stars.""</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RZ65TH88KMJNN?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing Story, Much more than you think...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I was on an airplane and ran out of things to read, when I noticed that my teenage daughter had downloaded a preview of this book on my kindle. I read the preview then could not wait to get Internet access to buy the book. After this, I read it for the next week or so every night I got a chance.<br/><br/>To attempt to describe this book is to vastly understate it. It's a story about kids with cancer, love, friendship, and cheesy sounding things like that, but it's so much more. It's a book of thoughts. You're inside the mind of the main character, a teenage girl named Hazel who miraculously survives a bout with cancer and who becomes part of a support group where she meets cute and charming Augustus Waters, also a cancer survivor. They become involved in an adventure that takes them to Amsterdam where they have an unfortunate encounter with a former author, now a disgraceful drunk.<br/><br/>Over time, some very large changes happen to the characters. In the final analysis, this story proves that life, and indeed the universe, has much more in store than we can possibly realize.</span>"

2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2PM6MIKMVIAHB?ASIN=014242417X	Hummmm?	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Well, some of it I liked, but the main plot about the story that the kids had both read and got so caught up in to find out what happened to the characters????  That did not grab my attention.  I think this book is for older teens more than it is for adults.  If I were a high school teacher I might use it as class assignment.  I think it gives very clear insight into the lives of those that are dying from a disease like cancer.  Of course, the book also points out that we all die a little every day.  From the moment we are born, we begin to head toward our death.  That is true of every diving thing.  It is the process of living that we should one day die.  This is also a book that leads to the exercise of writing your own obituary.  Many teachers use this as an assignment as well.  It is a book that will make you think about your own life, the way you live it, and how you interact with others that are very sick.  While it won't be one of my all time favorites, I would even say that it is a book that might require rereading to get all the meat on the bones of this story and plot.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RBA5ZNJB3M84A?ASIN=014242417X	I fell in love the way you fall asleep: slowly, and then all at once.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I don't even know where to begin on this review. John Green is a phenomenal writer. Poetic almost. I'll have to come back to this after I've given it some more thought.<br/><br/>Ok, so I have a good day to think about this book. I loved it. I laughed, I cried, laughed some more and then sobbed. The love that Hazel Grace and Augustus Waters share happens only once in a lifetime. It was lovely to see them falling in love. Their journey with each other and their diseases is something I will not soon forget.<br/><br/>I am very pleased with how John ended the book. Sure it broke my heart, but that's what cancer does. It breaks your heart. I think having lost someone to cancer caused it to effect me even more. Writing this review has brought fresh tears as well.<br/><br/>I put John up there with another favorite author of mine, Maggie Stiefvater. His writing, much like Maggie's, is almost musical. The words just flow off the page. I will definitely be adding his other books to my to read list.<br/><br/>Thank you John! This book was lovely, heart wrenching and so worth my time.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1J94HUKUQ8O09?ASIN=014242417X	ONE OF MY TOP FIVE BOOKS (It made me Laugh, Cry, Scowl and Everything in between)	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was one of a few books that I read within 24 hours. Now given that the book is only 25 chapters long this is no feat in itself, but it's the fact that I kept reading the book that's important. There have been few books that have kept me captivated enough that I would keep reading it straight though (I can't even recall the select few right now...Dark Tower Series is one). The Characters of Hazel and Augustus were so extremely well crafted that they truly became real to me and I grieved for and with them. I won't give away much else about the book other than to say if you love books that make you laugh and want to cry within the same sentence then you MUST read this one. I also wanted to say that this book is now defiantly one of my top 5 books. (PS. For those who like to listen to music while they read. I listened to a playlist called ""Snowday"" on the music app Songza, avail on Android/iOS (Apple) platform. It's a great soundtrack for the book and if there was a way I could suggest a few songs from it to be included on the Fault in Our Stars movie soundtrack I would)</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R20RXIBKT3QWJ8?ASIN=014242417X	Courtship of Star-Crossed Teen Cancer Survivors Makes for Great Love Story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Hazel Grace Lancaster is a smart, snarky young woman who disdains convention, yet loves binge-watching popular TV shows. She’s also permanently attached to an oxygen tank, thanks to the Stage IV thyroid cancer that spread to her lungs when she was 14. In most instances, she’d probably be dead by now, but a recently developed miracle-drug has managed to slow down the tumor-growth in her lungs, thus extending her life for a couple of years. Now just 16, she’s already out of school with her GED, and her social circle is limited to a handful of people, including her parents, a friend from junior high, and regulars from a tedious support group that her parents force her to attend. Fortunately for Hazel, though, the support group is where she meets Augustus Waters, a one-legged survivor of osteosarcoma who, like Hazel, refuses to let cancer define him. The two quickly become close friends, and—over time—something more. John Green’s novel is not only a great, tragicomic love story, but also a monumental salute to the spirit of the terminally ill teenager. Recommended for Ages 14-Up.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R92ZK9E4SW2M1?ASIN=014242417X	What Do You Leave Behind?	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">John Green wouldn't be the first author to sensitively tackle the subject of a teen dying of cancer. Jenny Downham's, ""Before I Die"" comes to mind. But he would write the most provocative, and in my opinion, the best. Our narrator, Hazel meets Augustus in a cancer support group. her lungs have been ravaged by the disease and her constant companion is the oxygen tank she wheels along beside her. Augustus is a cancer survivor, and former basketball player who lost the lower half of one of legs to the disease. These are bright, inquisitive kids, full of the smart quippy dialogue that seemed to be muttered by actresses like Emma Stone, or to date myself Janeane Garofalo. Yet I think what makes the book so poignant is in this current culture of social media, and instant celebrity, faced with ones own mortality, the question is asked, How will I leave a mark, how will I be remembered? Did my life, however long or short, matter? Questions that ultimately go beyond these two young souls and cause you to ask yourself the same.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2M8HI67EKD97H?ASIN=014242417X	A fantastic book that should be greatly looked upon	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">""The Fault In Our Stars"" is a magnificent piece made by John green, in which by far is his most impressive book (in my perspective). “The Fault in Our Stars” is quite a story involving a serious matter of concern… Cancer. I am relatively proud of the way he interpreted cancer into more of a humorous way so the readers won’t be either bored or uncertain/awkward about cancer. In my interpretation of, “The Fault in Our Stars” was an exceedingly emotional book that left me in pieces when one of my favorite characters (You should all know) Augustus Waters dies at a very unwelcoming end. Hazel Grace was of course devastated as was I, when my favorite character had met his certain demise. I could not get it this out of my head  “ ‘I am sorry Gus Died’... he said ‘The whole thing. Eighty percent survival rate and he’s in the twenty percent?Bs. He was such a bright kid. It’s bs. I hate it. But it was sure a privilege to love him huh?’ (pg.278)”  that is a line that stuck with me, it made me wonder about an old saying it’s better to love, than to never have loved at all.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R200KP8E4DIP4?ASIN=014242417X	there is a good chance you will love this book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">At its core, The Fault in Our Stars is a teen romance novel. That both lovers have cancer is a tragic plot wrinkle, albeit a significant one. Since I am not a huge fan of teen romance novels, my appreciation of this story was somewhat limited. If you do not share my literary predilections, there is a good chance you will love this book. John Green makes a significant contribution to romantic and disease-centric literature in his unflinching portrayal of cancer in all its brutal, mortifying inhumanity. We know from the outset that both Hazel and Augusus are fated to live relatively short lives, but the strongest section of the novel comes when Hazel finds Augustus slumped in his car with an infected intubation, too weak to turn his head so as not to vomit on himself. This sad infirmity, not the otherwise picture-perfect mutual first sight infatuation, remains the most powerful example of tragic love in the story. Though limited somewhat by its genre, The Fault in Our Stars is a worthwhile read for Green's clever prose and honest examination of love in the age of cancer.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RBUDHHR9CNXIK?ASIN=014242417X	It's really well written.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Since The Fault in Our Stars was talked about so much as being a great book, I decided to read it. It is written in the point of a young teenager and John Green didn't fail to potray that perfectly through Hazel Grace. The overall plot is pleasant but a bit on the cliché side. Two young people are sick and they fall in love. The book is also a bit slow in the beginning. But it is very descriptive and really pulls you in when a depressing or joyous part comes. The ending was predictable but still just as heart wrenching and emotional. It wasn't as depressing as everyone has described it as, but it still hurt a little reading it. The quotes were my favorite part. They were PHENOMENAL. ""My thoughts are stars I cannot fathom into constellations."" or ""The marks humans leave are too often scars."" They were deep and truthful without making Hazel sound too much like a pessimist.<br/>The book is amazing overall, and relatable to teens today. I think John Green has written better books such as ""Looking for Alaska"", but this was still a satisfying read.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2RKH2XOSLX51S?ASIN=014242417X	Review of The Fault in our Stars by Cortney on May 26, 2014, Amazing!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Cancer is a very touchy subject and John Green did a great job by not dwelling too much on the drama aspect but more towards adding humor which is one of Green’s specialties. TFIOS is so touching and full of life. Although fiction, one can relate to the many characters as they show and teach you to not take life so seriously and that the grass is greener when you open your eyes to new things. This book is not easily forgotten and you’ll find yourself wanting to hug these characters by the end of the book.<br/><br/>The Fault in our Stars shows readers that there is light in every situation. Everyone you meet in life is either a blessing or a lesson and in Hazel Grace and Augustus’ case, it is very true. I’ve never cried so much reading a book before. While you are someone with cancer or know someone who has had or is battling, you can relate so much to the characters in The Fault. Everything about this book is so believable and so bittersweet. TFIOS passed harry potter, the twilight saga and the vampire diaries as my favorite book. I highly recommend it to all ages.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RBUNYCD4XM2XE?ASIN=014242417X	The VERY best of John Green	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is the beautiful, touching story of 16 year old Hazel Lancaster, who is dying from lung cancer.  Hazel meets the stunningly gorgeous cancer survivor Augustus Waters at Cancer Kid Support Group.  The two of them bond over their struggles and a book that they both love.<br/>Hazel does not want to get in a relationship with Augustus, though.  She knows that any day could be her last, and doesn't want to hurt Augustus by her dying.<br/>This book is written in first person from Hazel's point of view.  She is kind, insightful, and wise  beyond her years.<br/>The Fault in Our Stars will make you smile and laugh out loud.  You will fall in love, and you will cry in pain.  DO NOT MISS THIS NOVEL!<br/>Note: Do not be deterred from reading this book if you didn't like Looking For Alaska or Paper Towns by John Green.  I didn't like either of them, but I loved An Abundance of Katherines and The Fault in Our Stars.<br/>I have never cried so much while reading a book as when I read this one.

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RLFU9MKWQGXD4?ASIN=014242417X	Somewhat implausible, but very readable	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I'm a 64-year-old grandmother, and I enjoyed this book even though it seemed implausible at times that these characters would have achieved this level of maturity at their tender ages of 16 or so. Not having any personal experience with the subject matter -- teens dealing with terminal cancer -- I can only assume that perhaps that alone could account for an accelerated level of maturity? In any event, the story was entertaining enough to keep me reading. Hazel, the voice of the story, meets Augustus at a support group for cancer patients. She is immediately taken with him, and he with her. A relationship develops centered around Hazel's desire to get ""the rest of the story"" out of an obscure author whose book she has read multiple times, and Augustus throws himself into fulfilling her wish. Just when you think you've figured out how this book will end, you're thrown a curve ball which keeps things interesting. I do agree with some reviewers' opinions that these are not typical teenagers. But then why would they be considering what they are dealing with?</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R358DFWAUWVV18?ASIN=014242417X	Review	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I actually really liked this book. The reason I read it in the first place was for my English I Honors Class. I am actually happy my teacher had us read this book because I now have a new way to look on thing especially the meaning of ""forever"". I love this whole book but honestly the only thing I did not like much but yet in way I liked it because it took me by surprise was, the thing that happened to Augustus. The author has all his readers believing one thing will happen, yet the very opposite occurred, that's the part I very much liked. I would recommend that teenage kids that tend to take their precious life for granted, or those who have cancer that choose not to do anything in life, just because they have cancer. The reason why is because this book provides more than enough things, statements, reasons, or examples on going out to do something and just have an adventure and fun. If that makes since. Anyways really good I recommend this for anyone especially for those I stated earlier. I am looking forward to reading a few more books by John Green.</span>"

Read it. That is all.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1FOLXPBPE8E17?ASIN=014242417X	That's the thing about TFIOS; it demands to be read.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault In Our Stars is a book that anyone can find themselves sucked into, a piece that truly pulls the reader into Hazel's world and we meet Augustus and fall in love with a love story that isn't a love story, because it's a book about cancer, and love, and happiness, and oblivion, and anger, and disappointment and all the many pieces that come between.<br/><br/>TFIOS is the type of book that makes you sit back and rethink your entire existence on the planet and how the world spins and why and maybe makes you see the world in a different life. John Green's metaphors and his voice for Hazel further enthrall readers of all sophistication. It appeals to everyone, because it isn't a cancer book or a love story, but everything surrounding the two. The Fault In Our Stars is phenomenal in that it is so irrevocably original and leaves us feeling like we owe it to Hazel and Augustus to make our own little infinity something a little bigger, and maybe our thoughts are stars we cannot fathom into constellations, but we do know that they shine a little brighter now.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RDCUOC346ECH1?ASIN=014242417X	"""The world is not a wish-granting factory."""	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Some of the time I really loved this book. At other times, I viewed the writing as just okay and felt the perspective left the reader, not just sad, but hopeless. To be fair, I'm much older than the targeted teen/young adult audience. Still, I recommend this book to teenagers and adults. Sometimes older adults want to dismiss today's youth as entitled, lazy, and ignorant. The author does a good job of creating empathy in the reader for each character - teens and adults alike. He helps us - no, he stretches us - to see the world and life and suffering through the different perspectives of the characters. I really liked Hazel and I adored Augustus - these two had me crying one minute and laughing out loud the next. To be honest, I wanted the characters to have hope, so much so I grasped at tiny glimmers where Gus and Hazel seemed to wonder out loud and entertain possible alternatives to their beliefs about death and finiteness. But as we are reminded again and again, ""the world is not a wish-granting factory."" Perhaps the truest statement in the book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2P32MBCC2F1UD?ASIN=014242417X	Beautiful Story Yet Realistic	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">It is said about translations of The Bible that if the translation is faithful (as in to the original text) it is not beautiful but if it's beautiful, it is not faithful.<br/><br/>The Fault In our Stars is a beautiful story about an ugly reality.  It is hard enough for us to watch an older loved one wasting away from cancer. But cancer is not a killer of just the very old, it can strike anyone and it is most difficult for us to accept when it is found in the very young.<br/><br/>Sixteen year old Hazel is one such cancer victim.  Living with stage four cancer means that for her, it is not a matter of if the cancer will kill her but when.  The reality of how much her own suffering is affecting those around her leads her to be reluctant to develop new relationships until she meets Gus.  Gus seems to have beaten cancer at the cost of his leg. He teaches her that loving someone who will die soon is worth the pain.  Together they find wisdom in the writings of an enigmatic novelist, and solace in each other.<br/><br/>Hazel learns that dying doesn't have to keep her from living.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1M7YXX29F3OT0?ASIN=014242417X	A very enjoyable page turner. There may be spoilers below.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">First off, I will admit that the dialog seems a bit unrealistic regardless of how intelligent the teenage characters are. I was not overly distracted by this though and I do not feel like it hurt the book too much. I thoroughly enjoyed the read and finished it in two sittings. In fact, when I found myself awake at 3am and unable to back to sleep, I figured I would read until I could go back to sleep. Here I am two hours later having just finished the book and writing one my very few book reviews. I usually don't write reviews because I have a hard time putting into words why I like what I like. That seems to be the case here as well. I keep typing and deleting my thoughts on the characters and plot from my perspective as a caregiver for the sick and disabled. Any attempt I make at in-depth analysis comes out poorly worded and does not convey my feelings well. I'll just say this: dying is not pretty or graceful. John Green chose to show this instead of the saccharine, near symptomless depiction often shown in other works, especially for teens and younger.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3N0EXS4M4YJ2R?ASIN=014242417X	Almost too much	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Two wonderfully alive children, dying too quickly, knowing too much and living 100 lives in the span of 17 years. The story strikes fear in our very heart as it rips off the blinders of denial and requires us to see them, in full regalia, as loving, laughing, losing, dying beautiful children who will never see the ocean again, never know the end of the novel they love, never be free of the pain in their bodies nor the guild they carry for the wrecked lives around them. There is no way to read this novel and not assign the story, at moments, to our own lives. To step into each character for moments and to live the searing truth of their words, their lot in life. The poignant and poetic prose of both of these children along with their hair raising charm only serves to make it more gut wrenching, since we fall in love with them as they fall in love with each other. It's impossible not to. I hear there is a movie. But how can putting this to screen do this novel justice? It may be one movie is skip, simply to preserve what I've been given in its purest form.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1WUJEK06B3M2Z?ASIN=014242417X	Characters lack depth & emotion	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I decided to read this book after the hype surrounding the movie. I wanted to read the book first bc in my opinion the books are usually better. The book was a quick read &amp; kept me interested. I only gave it two stars bc I never attached myself to the book or the characters. The ending was obvious from the beginning but I contiuned to read anyway. The plot was meh but the character development was very thin. The relationship between Hazel &amp; Augustus seemed forced &amp; fake. I never swooned or worried about them. In the end I didn't cry nor feel the slightest bit of emotion or sadness I thought for sure I would feel when picking up the book the first day. Shouldn't I have cried? Got teary eyed? I'm an over hormonal pregnant woman &amp; still did not feel one ounce of sadness for the characters!! This just shows me how poorly they were written. When the book was over I felt very meh about the whole thing &amp; really just wanted to know much like Hazel what happened in the end of AIF... That book sounded way more interesting! I would not really recommend this book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RRHAB7ZZJLQ07?ASIN=014242417X	Much better toward the end	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The front is filled with too much teenage gestalt for my liking, but it gets much better after the two teens (SPOILER ALERT) go to Amsterdam. From that point, I think the story picks up considerably, and deepens both in emotion and storytelling. I feel like the beginning of the book sets up the real plotline, which is everything that happens after they go to Amsterdam. It is far more richly imagined and better described, beyond that point. Prior to that, I feel like there's a lot of linguistic ""showing off,"" (not entirely unbelievable, just taken to a strange place) to make us all understand that the hero and heroine are intelligent and non-conformist. For my money, there are better ways of doing that.<br/><br/>Note: I have been around several teenage survivors, and I have a family member who did not survive. I, myself, have a genetic disability. I know that survivors of crippling illnesses grow up more quickly and mature faster. I don't argue that they/we speak/think differently, and are non-conformists. I just disagree that it comes out like this.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/REPWLFQ61LGEX?ASIN=014242417X	My head. I can't deal. Love and hate it at the same time...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I'm not good at writing reviews and I should probably wait until I've had some time to let this book sink in (and it's not 2am in the morning) but here it goes. I started it and couldn't stop...just everything about this book I love, hate, laugh, cry, get angry, get confused, mad happy. It was definitely a good book and I felt like I was right there living their lives with them but oh my goodness! my head just hurts so much.... the reason I gave it 2 stars is not because I don't love it, recommend it or etc. but rather it's more a good headache if that makes sense.. its what I'd rate the universe, with how to live, with how to understand disease and illnesses. Nothing is straight forward or easy and this book definitely has a great way of showing this. I knew it was going to be sad but 1.didn't happen in the way I thought and 2. everything involving AIA was ingenious and made me cry in a very different way (hugely effective way I surprised myself) than reading a book about a cancer girl dying after falling in love like a walk to remember for example.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R307JDH4O92MTP?ASIN=014242417X	Okay?	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The fault in reading it late, is that the novel becomes hyped up causing me to hold a higher expectation.<br/><br/>Originally, I wanted to give the novel 3 stars, but what made it a 4 for me was the novel had no bulls***. It was pure honesty about having cancer - having something you can't fix in your life even if you wanted to. There's was no foreplay between Hazel and Gus which was perfect. They were meant to be together - nothing in the middle of their relationship.<br/><br/>TIFIOS was a like a vaccine shot. You know it will hurt once you start and finish it, but it was a pain you had to get through in order to expand your thinking.<br/><br/>--------<br/><br/>When you have cancer you become this untouchable. They don't want pity, they just need to live their lives. Faith, hope, belief - it's all bulls*** for the living, for the people who don't know what dying pain feels like. Positivism doesn't help when death is clinging to your arm, when you see inevitable end. We all want to believe that something else exist, that maybe its just dream, but that is just not reality.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R84P6WD0FAJFX?ASIN=014242417X	Yet another self-absorbed teen romance	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">She has cancer.  He has cancer.  They both cope in their various ways.  They fall in love and support each other unto death (and, of course, inevitably sleep together in between those two events--what a shock).  Both are intelligent characters, well-written.  So what's not to love?  It's yet another story in which Every Single Adult--every parent, every counselor, every medical professional--is well-meaning, but clueless.  Utterly clueless.  The only exceptions are the girl's father (sometimes) and the secretary? Partner? Significant other? (it's never clearly defined WHAT exactly she is) of a famous author whose work is the girl's favorite.  Oh--and faith is ridiculed and portrayed as completely irrelevant.  Pardon me if I find such attitudes insulting.  Most teens I know are already convinced that their parents ""just don't understand""...reading this book is a perfect way to pour more fuel on that fire.

2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3OTE0ZE4JLCOK?ASIN=014242417X	An amazing piece of fictional literature that will become a classic.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars has been reviewed by, praised by, and inspiring to millions world wide. It is not your average cancer story nor is it your average story at all. It is a soft kiss in today's world of sex. It stirs emotions that no other piece of modern literature can. For in a society that cancer is so prominent in no one has ever given us a look at it like this. Now it is not a cancer book, it is a beautiful love story. Now it's also not one of those sappy paper back novels you buy to read at the beach. It's a love story that makes you want to experience a true, innocent, passionate love. The characters in the story are wise beyond their years, but not in a way that turns you away. In a way that makes you wish to be wise and to think as they thought. It is a story that captures your mind as well as your heart. For in this story it is like you are sucked into their own little infinity, granted a chance to live another life. So read on and enjoy but be warned when you finish you will not be the same.<br/>""Okay?""<br/>""Okay.""</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3KO1BQT0K0QCF?ASIN=014242417X	Young Adult-- Emotional and Frustrating	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">By young adult I mean it is a young adult genre work. If you are one, or you live with one, or ever were one or lived with one in your life, you can appreciate this one for the work that it is.<br/>By emotional and frustrating I mean the topic is highly charged emotionally, as young adults can certainly be, add to that cancer in teens, it's heartrending. By frustrating i DON'T mean the writing style or any lack of cohesiveness or style by John Green. It is very well done, very. With this topic and theme, it could be truly sappy; but it's so far from that. This is one of those 'just when you think you might have a relatively happy ending,' reality smacks you on the side of the head, and all you can do is shake your own.  Character development is very good; these are teens with insight, intelligence, clearly older than their years. Their illness has pushed them to grow to the point that they seem wiser than their respective parents. Not really surprising.<br/>Personal opinion: adults should read more young adult books, because boy, do we forget.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3DULH2GORYO37?ASIN=014242417X	Review: The Fault In Our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Want to get in the head of a teen with Cancer? No, me neither, it's a heart aching thought to comprehend, but somethings are out of our control, but that's exactly what happens when you read this book, and what you uncover/see when you get there is not what you expect, though it actually should be.<br/>Life is a long learning road, or so we think. The truth, as you see in this book, is it can easily be cut short, with fate being the evil hiding behind every nook and cranny. In reality we don't get to choose what happens, how it happens or whom is around when it happens. 'The world wants to be noticed', and will jolt you awake before crashing down on you with all that it has, to suck everything right out of you. Hazel and Augustus are allowed to fall in love and experience it to a mass degree, deep within themselves and each other, but as we find out, even love doesn't beat the most brutal attacks.<br/>While reading this book I smiled, cried, got angry and then repeated all those throughout. This is definatly a book to read, one for everyone.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RKETXG7M08VPN?ASIN=014242417X	A story that won't soon be forgotten	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The book starts out with these kids with cancer, who are all deeply flawed and deeply brilliant, who say and think witty things I only wish I were smart or funny enough yo say or think myself. The fact that they are dying is always there, but it becomes an accepted part of the story - that their days have an expiration date on them that is much more real than our own because it could happen at any time. And then there's the book, The one they're obsessed with. It's a book about kids with cancer, except it's so not a book about cancer, which becomes like an inside joke between the author and the reader because this very book is also a book about kids with cancer, but is so not a book about cancer.<br/><br/>I fell in love with this story,  and with the characters. I genuinely cared for them, and cared what happened to them. There were many times I laughed out loud while reading, and a few when I cried, and one entire chapter where I did both at the same time.<br/><br/>I cannot recommend this book enough. I feel more complete having read it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1L82W145F0611?ASIN=014242417X	Classical themes with a modern twist	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Once again Shakespeare lives. By no means I claim that John Green is the master of the English language. However, he ought to be proclaimed a mini Shakespeare. Themes such as coming of age, life and death, and love are explored through this book. The Fault in Our Stars is a book to be read in a day.<br/><br/>If you know John Green's personality from you-tube's videos then you will automatically find traits of him in the protagonist. Is John Green a character in the book. The answer is no. Green's expression lives in his characters but does not overpower their own personality a the story unveils. It is a clearly Shakespearean coming of age novel as a young couple struggle against the forces of time and space to live their romance. *Spoiler alert* Like most of tragedies it ends with death.<br/><br/>Personally, read the book before watching the movies, and I did not regret it. The book plays clearly displays the characters and their emotions in such a ways that Hollywood cannot compete. I encourage everyone to read it from beginning to end.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2J03QBUX8WYCA?ASIN=014242417X	Only read this if you are ready to cry	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars will break your heart, I just want to let you know so you're prepared. Buy a box of tissues first. You will laugh, cry, smile and consider donating money to the Make a Wish foundation. What makes this story so heartbreaking is that it is so real. There are a lot of people who fight cancer on a daily basis, and I'm sure you know of at least one person. The Fault in Our Stars is a book that everyone can relate to and some people might not be able to read because its content is too sad.<br/><br/>But it is also an incredibly happy story. It is a story filled with hope and strength. It's a book about growing up, falling in love, and just wanting to feel normal. John Green creates very three dimensional characters who you grow to understand as you would your best friend, he is talented I tell you. For me this was the first book I have read by him, I know, where have I been? I am pleased to say that it was a great introduction, although I hope he doesn't break my heart so badly the next time I read something he has written.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3IHRFKYJ2TG9W?ASIN=014242417X	magnificent	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I don't want to make this too long but this book is indescribable . You can tell that the author didn't just write this book for money or fame but he wrote it because he new this could be a real life situation and that the deep down inside he was meant to write this. This is not a book though,neither is it a story,it's an adventure that you feel you are part if. You become the characters. I always find it interesting that people cry when in agony or defeat or are sad. Why do tears come from your eyes when in these situations. I cried while reading this book,I'll admit it,but the real sorrow I felt didn't come out by crying. If anyone in the word could live a life where they never cried would that mean that they were never sad or in defeat. So i am not going to say I cried my heart out when reading this but that doesn't mean I was not ""crying"" inside. So do buy this book and really think about what life is really worth,how important it actually is. If you read this I promise you that you will become more intelligent in many ways.😊</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1F7PDGHQUBVWF?ASIN=014242417X	Tear Jerker	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">All last year I felt guilty for not having read The Fault In Our Stars by John Green. How could I call myself a YA fan and not have read such a popular book? Well, today I remedied that situation. Start to finish. Cover to cover. Quite a lot of Kleenex.<br/><br/>At its heart, The Fault In Our Stars is a teenage love story set against the backdrop of cancer. Hazel drags her oxygen tank everywhere she goes and Augustus has a prosthetic leg. Both are erudite, witty, and converse in a fashion that I’ve never heard teenagers sound like ever–and I’ve been around a lot of smart teens. Like, literally, I’ve never heard teens talk like that. Still, the Gilmore-Girl-esq dialogue is fun to read, although if it doesn’t come across as realistic.<br/><br/>If you enjoy tear-jerkers, this is a great book for you. If you’d rather not put yourself through an emotional wringer, stay away. The only thing that bothered me was Augustus and his unlit cigarette. Hopefully that doesn’t spawn a fad of cigarettes becoming cool again even if they aren’t smoked.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2Q2P6AHS8NGQK?ASIN=014242417X	Sweet, sweet Augustus. slight spoiler alert.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book will inspire you to be a better person. It is a story of love, and life. I loved this book. I really really loved this book. I will admit I was afraid to read it because of the topic, I mean kids having cancer is just wrong in general. Anyway, this book had me in the very beginning. Hazel was witty and at times so deeply educated for a sixteen year old; however, she had her true sixteen year old girl moments which made her relatable to the long past sixteen year old I once was. Isaac was also a great addition to the character line up. And Augustus.....sweet,sweet boy. I was upset with the author for a few minutes but the story wouldn't have been complete and so in depth without what occurred. I can appreciate it now but it took a few minutes, I cannot lie. Anyway, well written and thoughtful book. I have developed respect and adoration for this book which surprised me. I don't have children but I found this book so well written and thoughtful, I will probably read it again which would be a first for me. Well done Mr. Green.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/ROG5MJO3NOS8Y?ASIN=014242417X	I'm seein' Stars!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">CANCER...<br/><br/>John Green gives insight into the life of a teenager with cancer...their take in the tumultuous, hopeless, tailspin of terminal illness.<br/><br/>I hadn't read a novel on this topic and was fairly impressed.<br/><br/>At moments the story tended to lag and carry on very slowly, but the intended message and points were made.<br/><br/>Its difficult to find love and prosper in a life where you're living to die, but if there isn't any hope than why even care. But we're given a very good reason to read on...<br/><br/>John Green portrayed what I feel was a very realistic take on the views and internal dialogue that one would encounter having lived with cancer and had no hope in healing.<br/><br/>I wish the ending had more to it. I was a bit let down - I was devastated of course, but something was going to happen, I just wasn't prepared for it.<br/><br/>This was thoroughly well written and flowed cohesively.<br/><br/>You will need the kleenex and an open heart to take in the depth and heaviness of this one.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1MS570E9DE8NM?ASIN=014242417X	Wonderful book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">My daughter kept insisting I read this book before the movie came out. At the time I wasn't in the mood and we still watched the movie. Fast forward 6 months and something about the book kept coming up so I decided to read it finally. I loved how the book is written. Augustas Waters made me smile every time he talked. Granted in my minds eye I was thinking of the people who portrayed these characters in the movie which helped me love the book more.<br/><br/>I have never had cancer so to be honest I can not say how people feel but it gave you a in site of how it's like to live with a illness try to live as normal of a life and still find love in the mist of living with cancer.  Loved the way way he called her Hazel Geace and the way they talked to each other. You felt the emptiness after Augustas passed and hoping he would pop up out of no where. Even though I knew the ending (due to the movie) I still rooted they would make it.<br/><br/>This was the first book I read of John Greens and happy my daughter kept insisting I read it.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RU7CNBT6WEKZ3?ASIN=014242417X	A wonderfully sad story.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I love every word I read in this book. I cried I laughed. It brought back so many memories of the people I have lost from cancer.<br/><br/>I read a lot of different genres as well as write in the Teen/Young adult genre. When I read something I love I can't seem to put it down. I say John Green did a wonderful job telling this story. Now i can't wait to watch the movie based on this book as to see the characters brought to life. In fact one of my favorite teen actresses is playing Hazel.<br/><br/>This is a book I would read again. I recommend. In fact i already have shared it with my friends and family. Hopefully they love as much as I do.<br/><br/>I loved the story of going through Hazel's struggle of a terminal cancer, not the fact that she went through it though. I love seeing her make friends and find a love. Cried when she lost that love.<br/><br/>Great work, John Green. I can only hope my work can inspire and be as great as yours.<br/><br/>Thank you for a wonderful read!<br/>Sincerely,<br/>J. R. Tyger (Teen author)</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3L5QQPMI3Y5O7?ASIN=014242417X	Beautiful, Ugly, and Real	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Who didn't read this book this past year? This was a book that really hooked me on Young Adult and made me realize that just because the main characters are teenagers, that doesn't mean what they are going through isn't real, heartbreaking, and mature.<br/><br/>That being said, if you didn't read this book, it's about two young adults who are both dealing with serious illnesses but are still trying to be able to act as teenagers. The whole story is real and raw and is so unfair that young people should ever have to give up these fun years in order to receive treatment or go to support groups. Augustus and Hazel were such lovable characters that you were afraid to read on for the simple fact that something might happen to them.<br/><br/>This book was beautiful and ugly and made you fall in love with everything about it. I loved all of the characters in this book and it broke my heart over and over again. And it will guarantee to make you feel the same.<br/><br/>""That's the thing about pain... it demands to be felt...""</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RMLGO9JCZZAMC?ASIN=014242417X	Not a Bad Book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">After seeing this book on the shelves of bookstores and various friends' houses, and hearing so much about John Green but not having read his work before, I decided to give this a try. I browsed the first few pages using the Amazon ""Look Inside"" feature, and was roped in immediately. Once I received the book and dove in, I couldn't put it down and finished in almost one sitting. I will not say that it is the best book I ever read, or that John Green is now my favorite author, but I did enjoy this story. I became very attached to the characters and their endeavors, and even shed more than a few tears at various points in the book.<br/><br/>I will say that while Green is talented and has a distinguished literary voice, I still think that there are elements of his work that can be sharpened up; for instance, there were times I found the characters, their actions, and dialogue less-than-believable. Overall, however, this is a good, quick read that will take you on a gratifying journey. It's also great if you need a good cry.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2UQR333MFHMJH?ASIN=014242417X	A competent read for young teens	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This didnt do a lot for me, i have to confess. It's not so much that the characters weren't believable as that they were pretty bland and I didn't really care a lot about any of them. I think there's a kind of emotional blackmail operating in novels with this kind of subject matter i.e. sparky, intrinsically likeable children/young adults with terminal illnesses battling with the awful hand that Fate has dealt them. Somehow one is made to feel a heel if you say you don't enjoy reading about how they cope but, to be honest, I began to feel subtly manipulated only a few pages in, for this very reason. It just wasn't good enough, as a novel, for this adult reader anyway. It's a book for teenagers, not a particularly taxing one to read, dealing reasonably competently with a difficult subject. No more, no less. Not sure why it is being inflicted on grownup book groups where you could be reading amazing grownup stuff. Almost certainly it makes a much better film than a book.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1EDKI4YVL8NPC?ASIN=014242417X	phenomenal	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Having just finished reading this book, I am in awe.  John Green effortlessly delves into the intelligent teenager's mind.  So nice to see the persona of a young intellect displayed so realistically.  The book is emotionally fulfilling, and impossible to set down.  I found myself reliving my young adulthood through this novel, and while cancer was not my plight (thank G-d), every individual goes through the pain and angst (as well as the biting sarcasm and realism) that is so integrally part of the teenage years.<br/><br/>This being the first review I have ever written, the power of that alone speaks volumes.  After many years of reading mostly nonfiction, The Fault in Our Stars pulled me back into the world of novels and fictional literature, so much so that I am writing this at 4:45 AM after staying up to read the novel in its entirety.<br/><br/>An excellent choice for mature young adults and adults.  Please be aware that it is intensely emotional and realistic.<br/><br/>I cannot wait to read more of John Green's work!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RJYASZB6I29LX?ASIN=014242417X	Great Audio Book!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">We have always been snobs about books on tape but recently took a road trip and this book was recommended to us so we thought we would give it a try.  The tape opens with a very depressing and sad story so my husband nixed the tape for the rest of the trip.  However I drove back with the kids alone (hubby stayed for a few more days for business).  I decided to give ""The Fault in our Stars"" another go while the kids slept in the back seat.  After about 20 minutes, I was hooked!  My middle school daughter woke up and made me start the cd again from the beginning.  There are some very mature themes and references to sex that were a bit uncomfortable to hear with a middle school daughter that is young for her age, but at some point we have to break that ice anyway.  The story was beautiful and the narrator (Kate Rudd) does an absolutely amazing job of portraying many different characters in the story. By the time the story ended, we were so sad because we got so accustomed to hearing such an incredible story read so well.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3IUTWI8Q6AL08?ASIN=014242417X	All I could do today was think about this book.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read about a chapter and a half from the book before going to school this morning. lemme tell you, that is not a good idea. especially if you're wearing makeup. I was bawling. I have only cried about one other book before (the Divergent series) but within two sentences of the chapter I had turned into a waterfall. John Green weaves words together with grace and the intent to make you think about life and death and the Beyond. He makes you think about the beauty of sadness and the pain of loving. everything in and about this book makes you think even after you're done reading, when you aren't reading you're thinking about it. I think any book that can make you think and feel is great. but this book has honestly changed the way I think and I think that is wonderful and if I could talk to John and tell him what I think about this book, well that would be amazing for starters and also I would tell him precisely how much this book means to me. I think that would amazing.<br/><br/>I do, I really do.<br/>Thank you John Green.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RZHD1WQCTVLDH?ASIN=014242417X	One of the best books I have ever read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book presents love, humor, and tragedy in a way that has never been presented before. It may seem cheesy at first, but it's not. The writing style has a magnificent choice of vocabulary, and the humor did actually make me laugh. The love the two characters hold for each other is so powerful you can almost feel it; the chemistry between them is almost real. These things are not my favorite parts of the book, though. My favorite part is that the characters are likeable and you connect to them. Hazel isn't bitchy, demanding, or perfect (Mary-Sue) at all. Her intelligence and realism surprised me. She is a main character I actually liked. Augustus is not your typical Prince Charming, instead he is a funny guy who I would love to be around. Isaac is not annoying, he is like Augustus; funny and loveable. The author goes into such detail you feel the love and pain the characters are feeling. It is an amazing book, but the ending makes you cry big-time. That's saying quite a bit considering most ""sad"" books don't make me cry.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R8887SH2TVZQT?ASIN=014242417X	Grab your tissues and hold on!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I purchased this book after seeing the trailer for the upcoming movie.  I had no idea just how powerful and moving this story would be.  I read it in less than 24 hours and can honestly say I don't remember the last time I cried that much.  I am glad that the author gave a disclaimer that this book is not based upon real people, however, I am sure that there are young adults who face battles such as this every single day.  Cancer is an ugly, non-discriminating and tragic disease.  This book gave me a new respect, admiration and sympathy for all those families who are faced with the tragedy of a cancer diagnosis and the ensuing fight they undertake every single day.  God bless all the families who could have written this book based upon their personal experiences and all those lives that are taken by cancer long before they deserved to depart this world.<br/><br/>If you are looking for a light, feel good read this is not the book for you.  However, if you are looking for a profound read then I recommend this book 100%.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RBVJ233U5KBQQ?ASIN=014242417X	Spectacular Heartbreaker	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">It is a rare thing for me to identify with the issues of YA fiction as a grown-up rather than nostalgically remembering my own adolescence.  Hazel Grace and Augustus are so much more than typical teenagers or sappy archetypal cancer kids and they deal with love and loss. disappointment and mortality with nuanced brilliance.  While many may attempt to slightly diminish Green's triumph for failing to present ""realistic"" teenagers, I think this is the greatest asset of &lt;i&gt; The Fault in Our Stars &lt;/i&gt;.  Green presents his protagonists as individuals, yearning and desiring souls with ambitions, philosophies, vocabularies, and reading lists that transcend both their ages and their diagnoses, which makes for a truly compelling, beautiful, and elegiac reflection on the nature of life and literature.  And unlike many of the other reviews I've read who pay the novel the compliment of their endless weeping, I want to say I read it a full speed with clear, dry eyes and a full heart, because it gave me such tremendous hope.</span>"

Realistic point of view about cancer and current treatments<br/>3-Light reading: Yes, its literary level and the effort you will need to make for reading,understanding and following the story won't be that much. It's really enjoyable, of course, really sad, too. Be aware.<br/><br/>Why 3/5? It's a bestseller. That's the kind of reading/literary way it was written<br/><br/>Recommendations:<br/>1-Place: It's something you can read anywhere, office, airplane, airport,home,beach, etc.<br/>2-Age: From teenagers to 120 years old (If you older, don't read a book, but make a party please!)<br/>3-Additional: Apart from watching the current film, watch these other film: ""Griffin and Phoenix"" (2006) and ""Stricken"" (1998)<br/><br/>They all give us an understanding of how important is love in our lives when suffering of an illness such cancer.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3QSXMKDC3U91J?ASIN=014242417X	Beautiful and devastating, hilarious and heartbreaking	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Just like Hazel and Gus, I want to know what happens after the book ends. What's more, I desperately wish I knew them before and during. John Green gives words a musical rhythm and flow that very few authors successfully achieve. I have highlighted at least 20 different phrases and sentences in this book. TFiOS is beautiful and devastating, hilarious and heartbreaking. Vlogbrothers fans will hear John's voice on each page. He credits others with the inspiration for these characters, but I think their finest traits; humanity, compassion, humor, intelligence, and a dash of nerdy sexiness come straight from Green himself. As a fan since 2008, I am excited to see his popularity skyrocket. At the same time though, I can relate to Hazel's thoughts on An Imperial Affliction- I don't know if I want to share this book. I like the idea that it is my secret. (too late for that...) I will just have to take the other option and insist that EVERYONE I know read this book.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2JYKIO0I9PEDM?ASIN=014242417X	I have lost many people that I love over the years to cancers unmerciful whims	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Those who set out to read this book know how it is going to end: someone is going to die. Cancer is going to sink her claws into another victim and the reader will be left with a raw feeling on his or her heart. When I first finished the book, all I could think was “Dang it  John Green. Dang it you certain unnamed ASU Instructor for making me read this dang book”. I was raw, cut open, and moved to real tears. I know that Augustus and Hazle are fictional characters, but their powerful story resonates with me. I have lost many people that I love over the years to cancers unmerciful whims. So while I can say that this is a story I will never read again, I still feel that it is a story that needs to be heard. A Fault in our Stars shows not only the plight of the characters as they suffer, but who they are despite their suffering. There is no sense of unrealistic heroes who battle cancer and win, just the overall knowledge that even if these people are going to lose the battle to cancer, by God they will do so fabulously.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3I8SWJBFQOGJC?ASIN=014242417X	and I loved the in-depth exploration of cancer patients and what they ...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">TFIOS is one of my favorites. I'm not much of a crier, but by the end of this book I was full-on bawling. There are no words to describe how I felt while reading this book, or how I felt when I finally finished it. Cancer is something that not many people are willing to discuss, and I loved the in-depth exploration of cancer patients and what they go through. Of course I realize that not all cancer patients experience this, but I imagine that some of them do.<br/><br/>There are plenty of reviewers talking about how the characters didn't talk like teenagers. One, not all teenagers talk the same way. Two, when you have a near death experience (or have to face your own mortality at a young age), you grow up pretty quickly. Sometimes you begin to speak a different way. You want to learn everything that you can as fast as you can. You want to become a version of yourself that you imagine you'd be when you grow older...just in case you don't make it.<br/><br/>I thoroughly enjoyed this book and I'd recommend it to all.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3S8JBKTA94X2A?ASIN=014242417X	All Around Lovely Book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I didn't know the subject matter of The Fault In our Stars before reading, thankfully, or I probably wouldn't have picked it.  I did know it was a coming-of-age story and then started to see quotes on Pinterest.  Very smart quotes and I was intrigued.  I'm so glad I was - it's the kind of book that stays with you, makes you think, melts your heart, makes you dream.  It's beautiful!<br/><br/>If there's anyone (who was like me) left on the planet who does not know this books premise, I will spare you the details and encourage you to take a leap.  At times the teenagers are not typical, and most likely wouldn't say the eloquent lines and amazing thoughts they do, but it's the type of book that you give liberty to because it's the type of line you would have want said.  There is a lot of perfection in this book mixed with heavy doses of reality.<br/><br/>The characters are as charming as they come.  The humor delightful.  It ripped my heart out in the best of ways.  I absolutely loved this book.  Will read again.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R308V2GRKDPTL7?ASIN=014242417X	Best Love Story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The whole story revolves around romance, poetry, and  deep thinking but it also involves much more. This book includes fighting and never stopping... just never giving up. Even when things got bad for Hazel, and God knows they did, she would never think lesser about her condition. She was never healthy or whole, but she was also never sick. If that makes sense. What I'm trying to say is that Hazel didn't try to tell herself she was healthy, but she believed in herself too.<br/><br/>Reading this book is like taking a trip through a dry lake and filling it with tears and love.<br/><br/>Augustus is a funny, sarcastic, and most of all, sweet character. He loved Hazel even when he didn't know her. Tragedy was what brought them together and tragedy was what tore them apart. But like any pair of lovers, they refused to let their sickness destroy it all. This was a different piece because there was no subtly. In my mind, most authors sugar coat everything and not tell you straight up, and that leaves you wondering.</span>"

This is a hard topic for me to read/discuss. There is someone in my life close to me that has cancer. You can imagine the roller coaster of emotions I was on when I was reading this book.<br/><br/>This book is a quick read, you get lost in the book and want to keep reading to find out what happens next. There are parts of the story that don't seem possible. This book is a work of fiction so not everything will be true to life.<br/><br/>I found myself falling in love with Hazel and Augustus. They are just teenagers but facing something that no one should have to deal with let alone someone that age. I felt they handled things very maturely. I know personally I would not be able to.<br/><br/>Like I said, I have someone close to me battling cancer. There are things in the book that Hazel and/or Augustus say or do that he has done, or I can see him doing.<br/><br/>This book left me crying and emotional. I can't wait to see the movie now.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R14CDK3Z3CV410?ASIN=014242417X	Heart wrenching as I knew it would be.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I have been looking at this title on my kindle for months, and I just could not bring myself to read it because I knew it would rip my heart out. Alas I wanted to read it before watching the movie as the book is always better. So I decided I am not a person that sobs over books and though I may be saddened at the end I will read it anyway. This is the only book that I have read that brought actual tears to my eyes.<br/><br/>I love Hazel and Augustus. They are smart and analytical. They are wonderful. Kids wiser than there years because life decided they needed to die. Cancer is a horrendous condition of the human experiment. I can not fathom losing a child or watching one of these diseases erode and defeat my loved one.<br/><br/>It will leave you gutted and just like Hazel with Van Houton's book, I am wondering what the heck will happen to Hazel. How long will she live? Her time is finite but all of ours is. Will she live to love again? Fault in our Stars is absolutely epic. One that should not be missed.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RPOXS2VX6HRGZ?ASIN=014242417X	I am a better person because I read it!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I don't know what others have said about this book, and I am sure I won't do it justice. It is first and foremost a love story, an unforgettable love story. My son gave me this book as a Mother's Day present. The most thoughtful thing he has ever done, and quite possibly the most thoughtful book I've ever read. Cancer, we all know about cancer. It afflicts the old and the young. We all have known someone who has died or is dying of this deadly disease, but unless you are living this journey, you have no idea what it means to live and even die with cancer. Why is this important? Because with every tribulation, twist and curve ball life throws us, and with every harrowing experience we survive, nothing teaches more about life as cancer. Nothing teaches you more than how to live when you know you are going to die. And from the unfettered and uncensored mindset of a teenage mind this book is raw, poignant and oh so brilliant. Thank you John Green for writing this book, because of you, I am a better a person.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1G8OXRTTO9NA8?ASIN=014242417X	How to Kill Two Days:	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I had just finished reading one of the worst books I've ever read when I picked this one out next. So, I'm not sure if I love this book because, compared to the bag of crap I just finished, a textbook would be awesome, or if it's because The Fault in Our Stars is a phenomenal book. I'd say it's likely the latter.<br/><br/>From the first chapter, I was hooked on this book. The characters are exactly the kind of people I'd have hung out with in high school. The writing is sharp and witty. The author's writing style is easy and flowing.<br/><br/>There are certain expectations you have from the start of the book. I mean, you know what's going to happen. Only you realize a little further in, this isn't one of those kinds of books.<br/><br/>I laughed ... A LOT. I learned a good deal. I fell in love with the characters. And I cried. I hate that this book is over, but am so glad I don't have to hunt Green down for a proper ending. I love this book &amp; hope to God that Hollywood doesn't ruin it with the film!</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R26NU6GX77HPWS?ASIN=014242417X	A fantastic read!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">My first interaction with this story was the movie and it grasped my interest so much, I just had to read the book. This book....I don't even know where to begin. Hazel Grace and Augustus Waters....while reading their story, I felt like I was loving with them, sharing their anger, their pain...and their limited time due to cancer. The story of their friendship turned love is so sweet and so real. You will cry...goodness will you cry reading this book but I don't see that as a bad thing.<br/><br/>I have seen other reviews where they say the characters are unrealistic and the way Hazel Grace and Augustus Waters talk is not normal for teenagers. I call bullshit. These are kids who've had to grow up way too fast because of their health issues and they knew they probably don't have their whole lives to slowly enter adulthood. Not to mention there are plenty of young kids out there who have a bigger vocabulary and speak better than a lot of adults.<br/><br/>I encourage anybody to read this fantastic book!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1HO57A68W3VTN?ASIN=014242417X	One of the best Young Adult Fiction Books I've Ever Read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">John Green is such a genius.  I read it first having no idea this was young adult fiction.  To me, it was fiction for everyone.  I was so impressed that I taught it to my class of college freshmen.  I got mixed reviews.  Some of them called it ""the cancer book"" and others saw beyond ""the cancer book"" and realized the true meaning of John Green's message:  death is a reality of life.  We're all dying a little bit each day, but it's more obvious with some people.  And some people suffer more than others at an earlier age, but that doesn't mean they can't do ordinary things that other teenagers do like fall in love, travel, have good times with the person they love, meet people they idolize and then be bitterly disappointed, and of course, be scared and sad. The movie was excellent too and I highly recommend this book.  Unfortunately, when my class finished the book, our semester ended, and the movie came out about a week later, so we couldn't all go see it together.  What a disappointment!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3MBCZCTSW4AKY?ASIN=014242417X	I hope it makes them stronger	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I bought this book for my 14 year old niece and I was thrilled that she was so happy to get it because she had just seen the movie, I was also very proud that she wanted to read it in English, which is not her first language. So I bought and read it myself and really enjoyed it. It is hard, very moving and it is almost impossible to tear yourself away from the emotional ride once you embark on it.<br/>Even if the cultural references are sometimes a little random, I hope that many kids will look into some of the books and plays and poems that are mentioned in the book. The most revealing aspect of it was that these kids live in a kind of continuous exposure to death, being sick, being around other kids that are dying, playing video games of mass carnage and watching movies of (you guessed it) mass carnage. And that does not even include the current event news cycle. Not sure what to make of that. Not exactly what we had in mind for that generation when they were born, but I hope it makes them stronger.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2BSLVC2UBDCX?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in Our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I'm sure with all the hype around every corner about this book that you've already decided to read this, and one review isn't going to change your mind. There isn't really a reason why you shouldn't read it. It's a pretty quick book to get through, and even if you dislike the characters, or the plot, you will still probably find at least one thing in it to ponder about. I personally feel that if a book makes you think, really think, then it's a pretty good book.<br/><br/>I watched the movie first, when it came out in theatres. I happened to pick the book up at a garage sale, so I gave it a go. It is most definitely a sad book, I'll admit that it made my cry when I saw the movie, but knowing what happens kind of took the kick out of the book. It was still sad, but not overwhelmingly so.<br/><br/>I still enjoyed the book though, and it had a little more substance to it than the movie did. I'm not really sure if I will read it again, but the one reading has given me a lot to think about nevertheless.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R23OVJ8JSS05R8?ASIN=014242417X	Best book I have ever read.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I am 17 years old (on my Mom's account) and an avid book reader and never have I found a book as heartbreaking and as compelling as this one. John has been and will always be my favorite author &amp; hero. This book brought me on an unfathomable journey that made me laugh hysterically and cry so hard. There is no slow part to this book. Once the book begins it takes off. The imagery of the Amsterdam scenes was just brilliant and John Green describes the emotions so well, I began to feel them along side the main characters. This is the kind of book I will remember when I am 90. I will reccomend this to all of my friends. Although, the only part I did get a little frustrated on is how he ended the story like Peter ended his book. I want to know what happens to everyone!<br/><br/>One caution: This book is IMPOSSIBLE to put down. I refused to put it down in school and kind of regretted it when I got to the sad part and began to cry in my yoga class.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R18TDEDU01R74V?ASIN=014242417X	The curse of human emotion.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Hazel is far from perfect; she is careless with her words and inflicts emotional damage on those she loves and who love her more than life itself. Gus is perhaps one of the most selfishly selfless characters ever written, and I treasure them both. Their story is one of true love and the pain of losing those we love, and the suffering we inflict on others upon our passing.<br/>I truly enjoyed the fact that the story did not end upon Gus' death; instead, it continued to highlight her high and low points of emotional devastation and her acceptance of the rise and fall of the tides of life.<br/>The story feels incomplete, yet I feel that it is perfect for the characters; Hazel lives, loves, and will die with her life having been incomplete, just as Gus did. The Fault in Our Stars is not my favorite book, but it is without a doubt one of the most relatable, yet impossible, love stories of my (admittedly minute) library and knowledge of respectable romance novels, and I look forward to reading it again.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R18IZUK7LQ0I7R?ASIN=014242417X	Excellent book with minor flaws	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I taught high school English and drama for 42 years, often with very bright students, and not once in all that time did I come across any student who spoke like the two main characters in this novel.  The vocabulary, the philosophical  ideas, the literary references--all seemed way beyond their years. That was one major objection I had to the novel, the other was the character of the Dutch author, who I didn't believe for one second, especially when he shows up not once but twice at the end of the novel. His character was purely screenplay, in my opinion.<br/><br/>Having said all that, I still very much enjoyed this book. Gus and Hazel seemed real to me, in spite of the way they talked. Their story and it's foregone tragic conclusion broke my heart. The dinner in Amsterdam was lovely, as was the tryst in Gus's hotel room. Meeting in the Literal Heart of Jesus was inspired. So many things Mr. Green did right...and only a few wrong ones...again, in my opinion. I would strongly recommend this book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2LAEW2HU52Q63?ASIN=014242417X	Excellent read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I knew it would be a tear jerker--and of course it was. But I still felt a hopefullness throughout the book that suggested life can be sad and uncertain, but it is, most importantly, to be LIVED.  I've heard so many people say that they won't read this because they can't put themselves through what it sure to be a hard topic to read. But I would say to them, this book is real, refreshing, and I was happy for all of the sick characters involved who lived their lives in spite of their sicknesses. I was sad for them too, but mostly I felt proud of them and so excited they were able to be happy.<br/><br/>Three sentences in I realized this was not some flash in the pan young adult author, but a very talented John Green with incredibly readable prose. I was personally thrilled with the Shakespeare, Fitzgerald, Eliot, Ginsberg, Twain and more literary references. I will read anything and everything, so picking up this gem after Divergent (not that I hated it, but it was poorly written) was refreshing!</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R38XGV5XXYN06R?ASIN=014242417X	TFIOS reads like the Tumbr diary of a girl with cancer	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">TFIOS reads like the Tumbr diary of a girl with cancer. It is definitely a book for young adults, while definitely being a book written by a man in his mid-thirties. I really like the overall plot, and the sadder scenes are gracefully written and sometimes beautiful, but many things in the book just annoyed me, felt unrealistic and made me dislike the characters. Augustus's cigarette non-smoking seemed kind of stupid to me. I found it hard to like Hazel after she made a distinction between ""boy movies"" and ""girl movies"" - she might be headstrong, but she is not a ""strong female character"". I also felt that, aside from the exceptional circumstances, there was nothing really exceptional about Hazel and Gus's relationship. It did seem like puppy love to me. I didn't mind TFIOS and I don't actively dislike it, but I don't understand the hype around it. But, hey, the paperback is like $8 on here with Prime shipping, so at most you have $8 and a few hours to lose by reading it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RAF2E4W11J6T4?ASIN=014242417X	Have you ever read that book that just got you thinking?	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Have you ever read that one book that just got you THINKING? That one book you can't put down, that book that immediately becomes your favorite upon reading? TFIOS was that book for me. TFIOS was the book that put me on a quest to read any and all John Green novels I could get on my hands. I started Looking for Alaska, I'm already halfway done.<br/>TFIOS was relate able to me, like I'm sure it was to a lot of other readers. With my mother (the owner of the account from which I am writing this review) in the midst of her battle against non small cell lung cancer (a nonsmoker's cancer) I felt Hazel's understanding of life and death was helpful to my understanding of my mom's battle. ""depression is not a side effect of cancer. Depression is a side effect of dying"" never have I read a novel, in all my 16 years of loving to read amazing novels, have I read a piece of art in which such a hard hitting quote can be found on the first page of chapter one.<br/>Thank you, John Green. I love you.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R12W13OL2DW1KV?ASIN=014242417X	How?! Why?!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I purchased this book after reading the raving reviews. People gushed about the ""touching"" story and promised a good cry. I literally had to force this book down because I was hoping beyond hope that this little girl with a terrible attitude, and serious lack of tact, would find some sort of depth or have an inspirational ""ah-ha"" moment....spoiler; she doesn't. No character ever evolves or goes anywhere. Every character is generally the same person, and none of them are anywhere near lovable.<br/><br/>When I finished this book, I stared at the last page thinking, ""Really?"". I couldn't stop staring at it feeling sad only because I was sorry that I stayed up late exchanging precious sleep for this shallow, lackluster book. How and Why does this book have so many raving reviews? Surely there can't be that many people out there who enjoy this false sense of ""depth"" laced with terrible language.... Everyone in this book cussed like they were raised by sailors, and yet I'm lead to believe they're intelligent? I wasted my six dollars and time and now I'm wasting space in my house because I simply can't bring myself to put this book back into circulation. I will keep it in my closet in the far corners where no one will ever have to come acrossed it and ask, ""What's this?"".<br/><br/> I will say this, the writer himself is promising. He has a way of creating an environment that you believe will turn into something amazing or incredible. If he just finds other words to use besides a sailors dialogue and finds a way to evolve a character into something more than his own reflection, he could be an author worthy of praise.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2DULO5U2Y1RXH?ASIN=014242417X	Loved every page!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I finished this page turning book in two days. I was absolutely captivated by the raw human emotion. We all remember our first loves, the fall, the fear, the excitement, and most of all the ending. The characters in this brilliant book took on a life for me. Each of them captured a piece of my heart. Especially Hazel Graces' mom. As a mother, the part about that she would no longer be a mom when she died and the reconcile when she blew up to the point her mom knew she heard really got me. To the point I prayed my new Kindle was water proof. It is the greatest fear of a parent to lose a child and an insufferable nightmare for those unfortunate parents who have. At one point my youngest was circling the drain. All you feel is numbing ache and in that moment there isn't anything you would do or give to ease one single moment of their existence. This book was beautifully written with every emotion captivated within its carefully chosen words, insight, and haunting realities of the human condition.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1GVPBC20TWKA8?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in Our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was recommended to me by my 15 year old daughter, took me a few months to finally buy it on Kindle. I was hesitant because she said I would cry, Really? I was not ready for an emo book even without any details (she is a firm believer of not giving ANYTHING away  when it comes to books or movies). As Augustus mentioned it was a roller coaster ride and it's all up, awesome! The battle to beat an invisible beast is brutal and it takes a brave human to keep a humorous outlook. But the deep and brilliant parts of a soul to be unleashed in such a way as to make us other mere humans understand on paper is amazing. Thought processors working through my large yet inadequate brain refuses to let me put on paper what  I mean to write, it just gets jumbled and I ramble. See?  As cancer seeks to live, by killing our puny seeming vessels in its wake we can chose to pass on our knowledge so the next in this rotation has a chance of handling it better and making it more bearable despite the outcome.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R16FSCY4Y7XLRF?ASIN=014242417X	A matter of life and death -- and playing your hand	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Who would've thought a story about star-crossed teens battling terminal cancer could be such an engaging, not to mention uplifting read? But that is what John Green manages in this lovely novel.<br/><br/>His protagonist, 16-year old Hazel Grace Lancaster, who suffers from thyroid cancer, and her love interest, 17 year-old Augustus Waters (an amputee to osteosarcoma) are surely two of the most precocious, appealing, and believable teens to populate fiction in ages. Their wise-beyond-years, and often very funny conversations, keep the novel from slipping into saccharine/maudlin territory--which isn't to say that the novel doesn't strum the reader's emotions. It does. In fact, I recommend keeping a box of Kleenex handy.<br/><br/>Green's memorable novel deals with the very human struggle to accept the reality of death; but more to the point, it addresses how important it is to accept -- and make the most of -- whatever life presents.  Even when the hand we're dealt isn't pleasant.  Or fair.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3IULJACRRMYSL?ASIN=014242417X	This Book Definitely Caught Me Off Guard..	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Was I crying like a freaking baby? Oh, yes. But to be honest, there are some stuff that kind of bothers me a bit, like THE ENDING (it's romantic and heartbreakingly beautiful, but seriously, I need more), so that's why it holds me from giving this book five stars.<br/><br/>I'm a heavy-angst-romance type of bookworm. I love to read heart-wrenching love story where the Hero and heroine circled each other then made love. This book, is a young adult, the 'mainstream' one, so that's why it took me forever to read it though I already purchased it like a year ago.<br/><br/>Beautiful book with even more beautiful words. Augustus was one hell of a guy. Hazel too. I adore both of them. But somehow I pictured them as matured folks instead of young-ins and that's weird because they're high-schoolers yet sounds so old. Understandable though, after all they've been through.<br/><br/>So overall, I liked it though I'm bot exactly that satisfied. I need a better closure. But then again, I enjoyed it.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2ZTBD13PJDJ57?ASIN=014242417X	amazing, heartwarming story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This novel might just be the epitome of love stories. Never a dull page and I just wanted to keep reading, and I'm most definitely not the reading type. Every sentence down to an explanation of Hazel living a s***ty life and every sentence spoken by the drunken author, had depth meaning. I recommend this book to virtually anyone. It is so heartfelt yet appropriate to a large range of ages and interests. It has what seems like a perfect balance between seriousness and comedy. The character development could be described as phenomenal. I fell in love with Augustus from the first lustrous description. This book is an outstanding must read. Although it just an overall heartwarming story of young love and challenges I feel that the crucial message the author to across perfectly was the importance of family and friends and the essential general significance of living your life to the fullest. It teaches us to appreciate the ones that care for us in our darkest times. Overall an amazing must read</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R26ULTADIW2PTC?ASIN=014242417X	Almost five stars. Enjoy with your teen.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is a very fast and nourishing read for anyone, young or old. I don't read a lot of YA fiction, but it so happens my last two reads were of this genre.<br/><br/>The first thing that struck me was how the author made a great effort to keep this romance sweet and real, without doing a fake-y scrub on the language and content. Teens curse, think about sex, drink, and sometimes smoke. Parents...pretending these things don't exist is NOT doing your kid any favors. You should instead hope they learn about these parts of life with your guidance instead of behind your back. I digress...I actually appreciated the way these topics were approached in this novel.<br/><br/>And this is a novel suitable for both teens and their parents. You will cry and be moved;  You will be able to feel the way these kids and their families feel. Four plus stars...reluctantly no five as it was still slightly too predictable. Not everyone gets to live through a cancer story most times, and this is no exception.</span>"

I LITERALLY cannot. This is just so.... I don't quite understand how to breathe or live or function anymore. I don't know if these are tears, or my SOUL POURING FROM MY EYES. Can one even LIVE properly after reading something so beautiful, amazing, and heart-breaking? Honestly, there really aren't any words I can put together to share with you the beauty and impact of this book. No matter how hard I try. I just can't. All I can do is cry and hope that people will take away from this book, not that it was just a good book they were glad to stumble upon, but take away the, I don't quite know how to phrase it, really, the outlook on the the way things are. How things have to be. How things can't be, no matter how hard you wish for them. And, just how things are. To some, it may seem depressing or sappy, but I say that it's just.... well.... the only way to know how amazing this is, is to read it yourself. You will NOT regret it.""Okay?""</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RYQ3KIY0W9KJE?ASIN=014242417X	loved it	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read it all at once...the writing is beautiful and the writing within the writing is beautiful. I wished I could read An Imperial Affliction, but then I thought maybe I was. At one point I was convinced this book would stop mid sentence. The characters are interesting in that they are both young and old at the same time, they possess a maturity that I suppose is a result of coming to terms with your mortality, but they are still teenagers - rash decision makers, tantrum throwers and true love believers. I reached the end without knowing it was the end. I suppose I could have followed the lives of the characters forever...just to see how it plays out...<br/><br/>The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was that it was a little fairy tale for me. A little too perfect, sort of romantic comedy feel at one point. But that is no fault of the story or the writer, simply a personal taste issue. Also I suppose it was pretty predictable, but I suppose, in the end, all stories are predictable.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2TZZ8KQ7UBK4E?ASIN=014242417X	Great read, stock up on tissues if you're a crier	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I am a fan of authors who create characters with wit and sarcasm (and happen to be a bit on the strange side).  The Fault In Our Stars was a raw tale of love, loss, tragedy, and strength.  While I've read stories that engaged me more with the characters, I liked how it focused primarily on two characters and engaged me mostly with Hazel.  She's the narrator, the bias, and the creator in this story.  Much of what is described is from an ill teenager's bias, rather than from what we would normally notice or expect from a normal character's perspective.  This book is hilarious, tragic, and sarcastic and will keep you enthralled if it is your cup of tea. (Possibly even if it isn't!)  The side characters, such as the mother and father, didn't become as well developed to me.  This I felt was a good thing.  It showed that the book wasn't about those characters.  The two most developed characters in the story are tragically intertwined and the story develops around them as they twist the plot.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2KX0J4IGEZ3ZT?ASIN=014242417X	Sad and Unequivocally Fabulous	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I hate reviews that come on years behind when a book has made its mark on the world, showering us with spewing praise over a novel that is already beloved. Still, I cannot help but add my own to the spray this time. John Green has written a book that speaks volumes on the subject of illness and to people who have experienced loss and death and grief. I equally loved and loathed this book for the same reasons. There is no greater pain than losing someone you love, of worrying that those left behind will not know the value of their life or the quirky parts of them that made them so special to you. John Green made this visible in this novel, and my loathing is only in that he reminded me of those very concerns for the person I loved and lost. My admiration of him will continue with equal fervor, even if-like the character van Houghton- he never pens another worthy line. If you are not plagued by this sort of pain and grief, read this wonderfully poignant novel. If you are, read it twice.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R21VPMBBOXXEAT?ASIN=014242417X	Brilliant, poignant, brutally honest, witty and so so very clever	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I generally tend to avoid ""cancer books"" (because, seriously, who is fond of weeping while reading?!). Yet, I saw how popular this novel was, and without actually reading any reviews or plot summaries, I just dove in with practically no preconceived notions. And naturally, at the initial mention of the ""C"" word on page one, I let out an audible sigh. I wasn't mentally prepared to read ""that"" kind of book, but words cannot express how grateful I am that I did.<br/>Green has created characters who exist beyond the mere pages of his book, and they stay with you long after the novel has ended. Hazel Grace and Augustus are truly genuine in speech, thought, and manner. Each character Green introduces to us has a life and a passion and a view of their own. Everything about the plot is credible and essential to depicting these lives that are centered on uncertainly and unremitting love.<br/>This novel possesses the ability to change your view of life. Just read it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1REO38OH7P3NV?ASIN=014242417X	"Teenage ""My Girl"""	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Read though this book in one day over about 5 hours total. Its that type of book; you'll start it and won't stop until the last page is turned.<br/><br/>Obviously a cancer book, which carries a lot of weight when describing young adolescents who were supposed to have their entire lives ahead of them, instead living with this terrible disease.<br/><br/>Not all doom and gloom though. These kids are witty and truly funny, mostly the reason I couldn't put the book down. Gus came across a little too much as the perfect Prince Charming instead of a typical teenager despite the author trying to portray as one from his film and book choices, but the book is about Hazel, whose initially trying to alienate herself and goes through a transformation instead. Nice character development there.<br/><br/>Trying to avoid the plot spoilers here, but seems like the story wasn't completely original. As my title says, very many parallels in the end to My Girl.<br/><br/>Great read, recommended.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R37W23HDE04A40?ASIN=014242417X	Teenagers, first love, and cancer.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I don't like writing reviews that essentially re-tell the whole story, like many reader reviews are written on eBooks. As a reader, I just want to know if it is going to be a great story, a semi-good story, or probably not the authors best work, and why I might feel the way the reviewer feels. (I never call any piece of art ""bad"" as beauty is truly in the eye of the beholder.) So, with that being said, I feel this book is well-written, and it features very, very likable characters. It is what I consider a good read because the author captured so many emotions throughout the story. There is humor, anger, fear, doubt, angst, sorrow, and love. I recommend this book even though I would like the author to answer a few questions for me:<br/>What becomes of Hazel Grace?<br/>What becomes of her parents once she is gone?<br/>And...by chance do Hazel Grace and Augustus reunite when<br/><br/>Readers will understand those last 3 questions and why I ended my review the way I did.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3S0VCDZYDPC3N?ASIN=014242417X	Green makes his characters come alive, even when they are dying.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">John Green makes his characters come alive, even when they are dying. Green works his magic and draws you in from the very beginning, introducing people who could be your neighbour, your brother, your daughter, or simply your friend. They are flesh and blood and guts and tears, and so easy to like that you cannot stop it from growing into your very own clumsy, awkward and oh, so young, love story all of your own. You slowly but surely become part of the book, ending up just as lost and bewildered as the young characters in Green's so very, very sad story. Speaking of sad. The only reason I couldn't allow myself to fall too hard for Green this time, in spite of all the excellently delivered and witty words of wisdom, is that the sadness of it all sort of crippled my natural enthusiasm and brought me to tears so frequently that in the end I was simply too exhausted to thoroughly enjoy the reading experience. Still, I assume that tells you more about me, than it does about the book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3E0BO3LR5BAL1?ASIN=014242417X	Simply Beautiful	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">First and foremost, I'd like to say that John Green didn't write just another cancer book. THE FAULT IN OUR STARS is so much more than that, because Hazel and Augustus (the two main characters) are more than just two kids with cancer.<br/><br/>THE FAULT IN OUR STARS was simply beautiful. I don't often use that word to describe a book, but after reading the final sentences, I couldn't think of a better word to describe it. John Green has written something special—a story that feels absolutely true, that strikes you with the beauty and honesty of the prose, that will make you laugh and cry and leave you feeling like you experienced Hazel's story yourself. Like her memories are really yours.<br/><br/>I can't recommend this book enough. It instantly became one of my favorites, and it's one I'm sure I'll re-read in the future.<br/><br/>THE FAULT IN OUR STARS more than deserves its long run on the New York Times bestseller list. John Green has written something truly spectacular.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R7R34IGQWNNFD?ASIN=014242417X	3.5 stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">*Spoiler Alert*<br/><br/>This isn't normally my kind of story but I decided to give it a try anyways. I found it to be both funny and moving. Tragic  but beautiful. Some people didn't like the intellectual conversations between Hazel and Gus, saying that they were unrealistic. No, teenagers don't talk like that, but it's fiction so I'm okay with it.<br/><br/>That being said, there were a few things that did not appeal to me. I found the characters to be somewhat inconsistent. Not a lot but just enough to notice. There were  sometimes that they all seemed like the same character.<br/><br/>The romance and physical descriptions were bland at best. I mustered up a connection to each character but I just wasn't convinced that they were in love.<br/><br/>Lastly, There were a number of times when Hazel sounded like a man instead of a teenage girl. John Green has been added to the long list of male authors who don't understand women/girls well enough to write them accurately.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R16SGM25L52DL1?ASIN=014242417X	stayed up half the night....	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">It's been many years since I stayed up until the wee hours to finish a book...but I simply couldn't put down this book until the final words were read. My daughter turned me onto TFIOS. She'd bugged me about reading it but I'd procrastinated for the reason you would think a parent doesn't want to read a book like TFIOS but with the trailers for the movie now out I finally broke down. I was not disappointed by much.<br/><br/>How JG gets what being a 16 yo girl is about is uncannny. He gets it. The parents. The boyfriend. The love. The pain.<br/><br/>So why not 5 stars?? In truth...I debated. The book is great. I laughed and cried and nodded in remembrance of the emotions Hazel showed us in every page. But I don't know that it is expressed as a 16 girl would express it. Hazel is so grown up and maybe a girl that has gone through what she has would be this grown up. The same with Gus. They just seemed like these two absolutely perfect people. And at 16, we are not perfect.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RHODB42UYFMRD?ASIN=014242417X	4 stars but I am holding back number 5	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">He has his teenage protagonists make all the right witty one liners over and over.  In that sense it is good and clever.  He has one great one-liner after the next.<br/><br/>It has to be unimaginably horrible to be in that situation.  My one-star knock against the book is that it has this sense of being contrived.  Maybe that is because its target audience is teenagers, and I am in my late 30s.  Maybe John Green understands how it is contrived, and maybe he feels like he is exploiting the situation a little bit and this is why he has a character in the book who writes a book about cancer who is an a*#&amp;%$^@.<br/><br/>I am going back to medical school and I may end up in pediatrics so I decided to check out this book (even though it really seems to be marketed towards women).  I think it probably definitely helps putting you in the perspective of a person who is not only suffering from cancer at a young age but someone whose entire social circle is also in the same predicament.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1GQ3MIZZN6S6A?ASIN=014242417X	Best book I have ever read.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I am a teen and, like most typical teens, I hate reading. But, I heard about how great this book was. I tried it out. Read it instantly; loved it so much. This book brought tears to my eyes. This sounds cheasy, but I've never felt this close to a book.<br/>The characters' personalities are easily described. Every person had their own personality - which is a big successful part of a story.<br/>There is one thing about this story though. (Kinda, not much of a spoiler-) Hazel and Augustus never got into any arguments or fights. Every relationship always has their little arguments. Not this one. Their love story needed to be a bit more realistic. But I still loved it.<br/>I'm so thrilled to have read this. So many teens have been reading this, it's highly popular. I'm so glad I didn't miss out.<br/>Also, this book is realistic in most ways, many people these days struggle with cancer..<br/> There's no such thing as perfect-<br/>And this book has clearly displayed that.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1XCTCYFDS8LQE?ASIN=014242417X	10 Stars. Must Read.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">: I am not sure what to say or how to say just how much I loved this book.<br/><br/>The story is about a 16 year old girl who is more or less forced by her parents to join a cancer support group in a basement of a church. There she meets a boy, Augustus Waters. Augustus Waters is just perfect.  With his side “fake smoking” cigarette and his everything that makes him appealing.<br/><br/>Characters: The characters were perfect.  I loved them all.<br/><br/>Positives: I finished this book at 1:30am.  I was sobbing.  It was breathtaking love story.  It was touching and beautiful and yes sad, but one that will stay with me for a very long time.  I thought about these characters first thing when I woke up the next morning after I finished the book.<br/><br/>Negatives:  Nothing. Maybe I would have liked an epilogue.  I am not sure. I just know I loved this book. From beginning to end. I laughed, I cried, I sighed. Loved.<br/><br/>Bottom line:  Cannot wait for the movie.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2SOTQZR0N2VTI?ASIN=014242417X	Incredible...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">“Sometimes, you read a book and it fills you with this weird evangelical zeal, and you become convinced that the shattered world will never be put back together unless and until all living humans read the book.”<br/><br/>It's as if John Green knew his book would be a clear hit.<br/><br/>What can I really say about this book that hasn't already been stated. The story of Hazel and Augustus with their respective health problems is incredible. Their travels to Denmark are inspiring. In my opinion, they show anyone can enjoy life, regardless of what terrible circumstances you're living under. I don't think I'll ever be able to forget the joy they felt while visiting the harrowing Anne Frank house.<br/><br/>All good things must come to an end, right? Right. Tears will fall from all readers who take the plunge and decide to read this brilliant book. As painful as it is, it's also enjoyable and incredibly well written. John Green speaks to his readers in a phenomenal way</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3MQVI3QH1XOP0?ASIN=014242417X	Couldn't have hoped for more!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">As a writer, it's been at least a few years since I read a book that made me forget I was reading! Most books, I'm preoccupied with how the author did this or that, his/her writing style, and how the story is just okay, not wonderful, but pretty good. With this book, I kept trying to pin down how John Green wrote the way he did -- how did he describe things so well? how did he write such great dialogue? -- but every time I failed because I was so drawn into the story that I'd forget I was supposed to be analyzing his style. I love having this problem! The story is sad, funny, engaging, romantic (but not in a sappy way), and poignant all at the same time. I loved the characters, even the minor ones like Patrick the social worker in the ""Literal Heart of Jesus Church""! This book is supposed to be for young adults, but I'm an adult and I loved it! I would recommend it for anyone of any age who reads to get insights into life and who likes great dialogue. Perfect!!</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2NT5426ZMXFHJ?ASIN=014242417X	Mixed emotions	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Through the first half of this book, I found myself highlighting and re-reading portions that jumped out and sent such emotion that I thought it would become my new favorite book. I instantly fell in love with Hazel. Her attitude and outlook on things was sarcastic but so utterly truthful. I just love a book where the wit and hilarity can become an inside joke between friends who have read the book as well.<br/><br/>Unfortunately, in the last half of the book, I thought it became a little overdone. There were several instances when I didn't believe what was happening. A few scenes didn't seem to further the story...more like filler than forward moving action. At times, it felt like things were being tied up to quickly yet when I turned the page on the last chapter the story still felt undone.<br/><br/>I am left with mixed emotions about this book. I did enjoy the story and would recommend it to anyone who enjoys finding humor in situations that are not so humorous.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3RBRDH309R8O8?ASIN=014242417X	Meh...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I will preface this by saying that I have a 2 y.o. daughter and the transference issues that came up during this book may have clouded my judgement a bit.  This book was very highly reviewed on Amazon and others who have read it.  However, I just didn't...get there.  I did find that Green did a good job getting into the mind of a teenage girl.  I saw the twist of Gus getting sick coming.  I understood, and appreciated, the ""sick"" scenes being told in one long thought - I felt it was accurate, less drawn-out, and just the way a teenage girl would explain what was happening.  But, the real meat of the story...meh.  I wasn't feeling it.  I found some parts of the story to be somewhat inauthentic and some of the scenes between Hazel and Gus a bit trite.  And the part with the author of Imperial Affliction, Van Houten - just plain silly.  I feel this book would resonate much more with teenagers, which I imagine is why this book is ""YA"", but not so for me.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2G39OTHTAB85G?ASIN=014242417X	... have read this year that I think is a great book is the Fault In Our Stars written by ...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">One of the books I have read this year that I think is a great book is the Fault In Our Stars written by John Green. The beginning of the book starts of with a girl named Hazel Grace. She was diagnosed with thyroid cancer when she was 13 years old. When she turned 17 her mother forces her to go to a cancer support group. This is where she meets Augustus Waters a 17 year old boy, who was diagnosed with osteosarcoma caused him to lose his leg. My favorite part of the book is when there are multiple moods at one time. Like the characters go from sad to excited in just a few lines. I like having multiple moods in one book because it makes the book more interesting. There wasn’t anything I didn't like about this book because it was so good! I think it would be good for 13 and older would be a suggested age. It is a romantic and sad book at the same time. If you like a good plot twist than this is the perfect book for you. Hope you like the book liked I did!<br/>By: Morgan G</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R21BO88RVZXHUR?ASIN=014242417X	A Divergent sequel?	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">When I read the book I visualized Hazel as more like the sweet warmhearted girl that I married, with whom I shared cancer support group and the whole awful experience.  After twenty-five years the jagged blade still cuts deep.  I read the book looking for hope, and sure enough there was some.  Still, I need a sequel, where the makers of Phalanxifor come out with a nanocyte vehicle where Hazel enters her own bloodstream, hunts the malignant terror cells down and kicks butt.  Where are the comic book heroes when you need them?  Then the movie came out with the cast of Divergent.  Not bad, just different.  The book wisely selects the good days, cancer patients don't get to select.  They endure plenty of bad days.  Author Van Houten told the truth more in what he didn't say, what Hazel wanted to hear, which was a fast forward to her own happy ending ... just write me something uplifting she pleaded, look, I even brought my own prince.  Sometimes you need to be lied to.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R77O178NO3NM?ASIN=014242417X	Get your tissues ready!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Knowing this book was very popular among my friends and pretty much everyone, I decided to read it. And of course it was only $5 so you know, It was a pretty good deal for a 321 page book. Anyway, I really LOVE this book. It's funny and heartbreaking at the same time. At the end, I have to admit, I did cry even though I knew what would happen. Now I don't want to give anything away, so it is going to be kind of hard to say one of the few things I didn't like a about this book. But at the end it only shows the email Augustus sent to Peter not the 4 attachments. But maybe I'm just stupid and that really was the four attachments, I don't know :P.<br/>  This book is pretty sad but it's still a great book. I would highly recommend this book. There's twists in the plot and some surprising things you wouldn't think would happen. I can't wait to see the movie even though movies are supposed to be worse than the books. So I would say get this book because you'll like it!</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RGVHD58QZMH5H?ASIN=014242417X	makes you appreciate life more	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">So I already have an idea that this was not going to be a happy ending and yet I have read and finished the book not really feeling sad but inspired. It was a weird revelation for me, but I have come to appreciate life's many blessings. I am not sick or anything but I also know that nothing is permanent and that we do not actually know when our last day here on earth will be. So my philosophy is, count each day and each moment (whether good or bad) a blessing. It might be a cliche, but always live life to the fullest... Our lives may not count much for a lot of people, but make your life count for you, for the people we care for and love so dearly. Even if in the end, our lives were only lived ordinarily and simply, what matters is that we actually lived. Thank you John Green for this book, but unlike your idea of Hazel Grace, I do believe in life eternal. And though it may seem God is not fair, we as humans do not have the right to question His being and power.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RHDSAYGI1K76?ASIN=014242417X	Best Reads	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I loved this book. It took a chapter or two, but I was so involved in the story I couldn't put it down. I know some people had a hard time with the maturity of the teenagers in this book, but lets face it there are many people out there that are more mature than others. Especially when youth go through such life changing and life threatening things it changes someone. This book talk a little about the different ways some people handle things when that happens.<br/><br/>Although this book did also have some foul language I also have to refer to my above statement. When you don't have much time left to live how much time would you waste with talking properly and appropriately?<br/><br/>I  loved the fun and comical banter between the characters. Sometimes when it is that funny it can almost be over the top, but not in this case. I found myself, laughing, crying and screaming throughout the book. this is probably one of the best books I have read in a long time.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1A7A9AICPSKQY?ASIN=014242417X	Best book I've ever read!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Two different (grown) men recommended this book in a matter of a week, so I felt compelled to get it because I typically don't care for girlie books.  I'm not much of a novel reader either, tending more towards personal growth, instructional and nonfiction.  I assumed I probably wouldn't care for this either, but I didn't read anything about the book before just starting on page 1.<br/><br/>I COULDN'T PUT THIS BOOK DOWN!!!!  I'm not eloquent with words, but I can tell you, whether you're 13 or 90, this author will draw you in so intimately, you will feel it is your own experience.  Towards the end, I took longer breaks because I shuddered at the thought of it ending.  It is filled with so many gold nuggets of wisdom about life, love and death.<br/><br/>I have already given it to three men, and they all adored it as much as I.  One is 26, one is 44 and one is 73 (and he's a literature professor)!<br/><br/>Indulge and enjoy one of the finest, fun reads ever!</span>"

4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2DD0R0QNSGNXG?ASIN=014242417X	Nothing more profound then assessing death and the meaning of life through a terminally ill child	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Content drives the reader to reflect on their own mortality, Its an easy read with a universal, cross age and cross-gender appeal.<br/><br/>My daughter and I discussed the content prior to and during the 3 days that I read (she had read in 2011). She had a vivid memory of web searches associated with Imperial Affliction (not a real book) and Anne Frank.  She also made the assessment that I wouldn't appreciate the ending.<br/><br/>I enjoy the concept that the universe exists to be appreciated (paraphrased from book). Regardless of the duration of one's life the concept of striving to observe, engage and learn from the world around you is key.  The book does an excellent job leaving the reader with an immediate appreciation of life and a call to arms to make choices that drive a higher level of appreciation and participation.<br/><br/>BTW, I enjoyed the ending. It was clear, clean and represented well the reciprocated appreciation that Gus had for Hazel.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3KOC1FMKIBS8L?ASIN=014242417X	Must read.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is about one girl's journey to her life's end. Terminal Cancer. The book isn't really about one girl, Hazel. It's really about all of the people who's lives she's touched and who've touched hers.<br/>I'm not going to go into a lot stuff about this, John Green' s, book because on Amazon there are over 5,000 reviews written for this story.<br/>Just my views. I loved this book. I cried, I laughed, I cried, I cried, I got angry, laughed and then cried some more. Enough of that. Just about everyone has been exposed to the reality of cancer in one way or another. Personally or through close friends or family. I think Hazel did as good a job as she could dealing with her own realities of her upcoming death. Almost all of her closest friends were cancer patients too. What a way to have to live your very short life. I think Hazel' s little life was better though for having loved Augustus.<br/>I highly recommend this book for YOUNG ADULTS AND OLD ADULTS TOO!</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2YVXVF6VXW4LL?ASIN=014242417X	The Best Book I've Ever Read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">There is to say but the fact that this was the best book I've ever read and I really fell in love with Augustus an Hazel. I cried so much when Gus passed away. I wish the author could write a sequel where apparently Gus was just uncontious and then is cured and digs his way out and runs to Hazels to find out that Hazel is cured too and he was planning to propose to her before he ""passed away"" and he had the ring with him all along and he proposed to her.<br/>  The Fault in Our Stars made everyone realize how hard falling in love with someone with cancer is harder than normal love. People with cancer are like ordinary people just with their faults. They are our  stars that have faults. John Green showed us what true love is; he is the best author to ever live. I want to thank him for writing The Fault in Our Stars and I would recommend this book to literally anyone.<br/><br/>  Enjoy reading this Amazing, Hard Hitting, Romance and BEST BOOK EVER!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3NXTQVMEORF7K?ASIN=014242417X	Three words: Best Book Ever.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">(SPOILER ALERT!)<br/>Ok, the fact that I'm actually bothering to write a book review for this book, and rate it five stars, is a miracle itself. I'm not saying this lightly.<br/><br/>I was hesitant to buy the book. I mean,the fact that it cost 3.99 was a big red flag to me. But the many good reviews made me think, ""OK, it can't be that bad,"" and press the `Buy' button.<br/><br/>Anyways, it was a really good book. I sped through it like it was a giant marshmallow and I eating it in a race for 100 bucks. I can't say I was crying by the end, but I was so hoping that  Gus would live through the book. I was pretty sad. I am glad that the story itself wasn't one of those cliche stories where the girl and the boy live happily ever after, have five kids, etc. True cancer stories don't have happy endings. I'm glad that JOHN Green seems to understand that.<br/><br/>My advice? Stop reading this and go buy the book. It's worth the four bucks you pay and more.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R36G5AKHMSORY4?ASIN=014242417X	Enjoyable Read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Wow, I see ALOT of 5 star reviews for this book but I just couldn't get there for that. To me, a 5 star book is a book that I CANNOT PUT DOWN and well, this is a book that I could put down. I wasn't up all night reading it. . .it's not gonna be a book that I hand onto to reread again.<br/><br/>Did I enjoy it? Yes<br/><br/>This book didn't resonate with me like it did with others....it didn't make me cry (which says alot because I CRY ALL THE TIME WHEN READING. .. my husband actually gets a kick outta that. . .it blows his mind that I can become so invested in a book that it moves me in that way) That being said. . . this book didn't do that for me.<br/><br/>Dont get me wrong. . .I did enjoy it it's just not gonna make the bookshelf library I have (only books that I will read again make it to that)<br/><br/>Best I can say is if you're thinking about reading it. . .wait till the price drops some more. You'll be glad you did.... I wish I had waited</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R207U64CLPP7DM?ASIN=014242417X	It was easy to feel for Hazel and Augustus	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">My biggest criteria when judging a book is how emotionally involved I got with the characters.  It was easy to feel for Hazel and Augustus.  It was easy to get involved in the stories of loss, love, despair, and triumph.  The author took the time make me care not just about Hazel and Augustus, but also about their parents, their friends, and even the smaller characters.<br/><br/>It was a story that took a look inside a sometimes touchy subject.  Most people don't want to dig too hard into the struggles and emotions of a cancer patient, but the reality is that there are more people than we'd like to think about that struggle with this disease every day.  I am not naive enough to think that they all have these same exact struggles, but it was nice to see a subject such as this explored, even if just for a few people.<br/><br/>This book succeed in making me become emotionally involved, and I thought it was a great read!  Would definitely recommend it!</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1T5G3N32AEEEJ?ASIN=014242417X	Perfectly written and a beautiful novel	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Hazel grace is 17 she has cancer (in her lungs I recall) and her mom makes her go to this remission group, there she meets the cute, funny, amazing, Augustus Waters. As they leave he asks her to go home with her and watch a movie. They start falling for  each other. However Hazel doesn't want to be a ""grenade"" , which basically mean she wants to hurt as little people as possible when she dies, as it's inevitable, she introduces him to a book that she loves where the author made the main character die and the book abruptly ended. She wants to meet the author so her and Augustus go to Amsterdam to meet him to get answers where their love progresses. The Fault In Our Stars tells a beautiful and mesmerizing love story. From Hazel's point of view you get the sad parts, the happy parts, and everything in between. In this fantastic novel you'll learn that not everything is perfect but as life goes on you have to learn to make it the best you can.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2NXS19NJNVK8E?ASIN=014242417X	Brilliant	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I gave it 4 stars because of the ending. For some reason I felt unsatisfied. I just did. I'm definitely about to read it again since I read this in like two days. (I work full time otherwise I would have probably finished it in a day.) Maybe the second time around I won't feel so empty. Other than that this book was simply amazing in all its simplicity...yet complexity. My emotions were all over the place even though I kind of figured someone was going to die. And my throat did close up when Hazel had that moment on the couch with her parents after the unfortunate event. But, I liked how I didn't feel bad thinking that Hazel and Augustus had no future because they already knew that and had come to terms with it. In the same breath that acceptance made it even more necessary for them to be together. Anyways like I said, I'll be reading this again, and again, and again because death is...life and I believe this book serves as a necessary a reminder.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3O7LZLRZBZGV3?ASIN=014242417X	This story is not for the faint of heart.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">John Green’s young adult novel, The Fault in Our Stars, is basically a story about teens battling cancer. The elements of a love story come to the front when Hazel and Augustus fall in love after meeting up in a Support Group for cancer patients. Both of them are super intelligent and highly loquacious (as most of John Green’s teens appear to be), so we’re privy to a lot of philosophical jargon and literary quotes throughout the story.<br/>Hazel is a sweet kid who hates being singled out because of her cancer, but her disease is fundamentally her parents’ raison d’être (typical of most parents), and because of her special needs, her social, and possibly her emotional, freedoms are compromised.<br/>This story is not for the faint of heart. All aspects of the story revolve around the terrible ravages of the disease, and at some point the tone is almost unbearable. No one wants to witness pain and despair, especially in children; so be prepared .</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RKABZMIG0BD9I?ASIN=014242417X	Epic Characters That Stay With You	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This novel destroyed me from the inside out. I avoided it, because I thought it was going to be another Cancer Kid book that makes me cry. It is (a Cancer Kid book) and it did (make me cry), but it went way beyond that. I think it set a new standard that other authors in this genre will struggle to live up to.<br/><br/>I let this story into my life, all the gorgeous notions and metaphors and ideas and words. I almost wanted to be the characters, full of wit, humor, life, and individuality, despite how difficult, messy, and painful their lives actually were. And then the grenade exploded. The shrapnel pierced me, and I stood by and let it happen. Because some stories are worth bleeding over, worth crying for, and worth screaming at the universe for.<br/><br/>The ache it leaves is a tragic side effect...of Epic Stories, not Dying. Well, both actually.<br/><br/>Read with caution: I think it left a new scar on my well-traveled reader's heart.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R82GHKIBOI0PR?ASIN=014242417X	A Heartbreaking, Yet Uplifting Read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">TFIOS does to you what you'd expect out of a cancer novel: make you cry, make you worry about every moment of discomfort Hazel or Augustus experience as if the disease is pumping through your own body. However, it is not just a cancer novel--it captures beautifully the lives of two pseudo-intellectual teens with a penchant for sarcasm and poetry. I found myself drawn to the witty and bright nature of Augustus, while also amused and fascinated by the lovely portrayal of Hazel's refreshing teenage girl character.<br/><br/>I laughed, and of course I cried, but not just at the moments you would expect--from Caroline 's wall page, to Hazel musing over Shakespeare (and revealing the titular origin), to the date in Amsterdam with the ""liquid stars"", I was overcome with the beauty of the novel, and the nature of its characters.<br/><br/>Bless you, Mr. Green.<br/><br/>And thank you for not ending the novel mid-sentence, like I worried you would :)</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3PBRY5V7FAASK?ASIN=014242417X	Wonderful	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">When I first heard of the fault in our stars I thought it was another weird book that stupid teens were infatuated with, but when I saw the trailer for the movie weeks ago for the hundredth time it seemed like, I decided that it was worthy enough me to read. I saw the trailer for the first time while I was watching  the movie awards, but I really didn't get how the plot of the story went.  My friends had read it before I did, and said that it is an amazing book, but we all have different tastes, so I didn't go for their word. I got tired of people talking about it and spoiling the book so I read it. I did unfortunately watch the movie BEFORE I read the book, but it was worth it. This book is truly wonderful and makes you look at life at a different way, and it also shows how important and beautiful love is.  I thank John Green for writing this wondered book, and I hope there will be another book published to continue the story of Hazel's life.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1A9SXZ3MTRG71?ASIN=014242417X	Deep, intelligent and beautiful.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This has to be one of the greatest pieces of literature that I have encountered in my short sixteen years. Firstly, I commend John Green for not depicting all teenagers as vastly uneducated and immature creatures. We can conduct thoughts analogous to what is being thought of. We can make sense. We can be deep. Secondly, I gave this book five stars for a reason. It made me cry about six times, but no, it isn't your typically depressing and then suddenly uplifting cancer book. This is a love story. It made me laugh, sigh, smile and cry (I'm not that sensitive), and it captured my attention without the addition of any boring scenes. I won't be a brat and spoil anything for you, but the ending definitely didn't suck. I loved this book and I plan on reading it again at least five more times. I'm not crazy- it was just that amazing. Aside from the plot, the diction, tone, imagery and symbolism were awesome. I couldn't be more grateful. Just read it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3SLN0JPU20ZUO?ASIN=014242417X	Magnificently Written	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I was blown away just within the first few pages and found myself unable to stop reading. The intense vocabulary and intelligence written on these pages is nothing short of incredible. It has been a long time since I have read a book that knocked me off my feet. I have dealt with a cancer ridden loved one and can say that this book portrays exactly how my eyes have seen their struggle and pain. I have also personally dealt with earth shattering pain at a way too young age and the way John Green writes Hazel's internal struggle describes my experience in a way no one else has ever been able to capture. The descriptions were well thought out and allowed me an insight into a world I have never walked through in my own shoes. I have thoroughly enjoyed this book and plan to add it to my arsenal of re-reads. I am sure that TFIOS will quickly become my favorite just as AIA was Hazel's when all else around felt wrong and so far away from her reality.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R38NKNCL53MD8P?ASIN=014242417X	Surprising, funny and moving	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I didn't expect to like this book, honestly. I felt that it was another in a long line of teenage angst books that tell similar stories. The people who tend to recommend TFIOS to me are not people I usually take book recommendations from.<br/><br/>But someone compared something I've written to this book which pealed my curiosity (for example, I wasn't sure whether it was an insult or a compliment) so I bought it on my Kindle and there it sat for months.<br/><br/>Until last weekend when I decided to finally pick it up.<br/><br/>I read it in a day and I'm reading it again.<br/><br/>The Fault In Our Stars us equal parts funny, sad and introspective. When I finished it -corny as this may sound- I genuinely felt like something in me had changed though I have yet to identify<br/><br/>I highly recommend this book for anyone who feels lost or alone. Whether or not cancer has touched your life you will be able to relate to these characters.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2UN0O5V7RO2UA?ASIN=014242417X	I wish there were choices for more than five stars.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">REVIEW WRITTEN BY MY TEN YEAR OLD DAUGHTER<br/><br/>This is pretty much one of the best books I've ever read. It was so good I didn't want to read it. Like, I saw I was getting closer to the end, and I stopped, because I didn't want it to end. I wanted a sequel, but, then, what more is there to tell? This book made me think about this world, this infinity, oblivion, and myself as a person. This is truly the kind of book that touches your heart.<br/><br/>Now, on to the re-occurring issue of who this book is appropriate for. I am a mature (or so I like to think) ten year old girl. And when it comes down to who this book is appropriate for, that is my statement. A mature ten year old. No less.<br/><br/>I know this review is kinda long-winded, but I've read reviews that are much more long winded than this. I hope this helps you decide whether or not you are going to read this book. The only reason I can think of that you wouldn't WANT to read it is the sadness.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R18U31SP9CASWB?ASIN=014242417X	A View From an Adult	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Thanks to my sister, I finally read THE FAULT IN OUR STARS. She had been encouraging me to read it for, what, a couple years? But I kept resisting. I knew the book was about teenagers, so it didn't interest me. But I gave in.<br/><br/>If you haven't read this book yet because it's about teenagers, do. The teenagers are exceptionally bright, well spoken, and mature. The story (which I won't tell you about because it's a short book, and anything I say is potentially a spoiler) grabbed me from page 1. Don't read reviews of it.<br/><br/>Something irritated me, though: Hazel really does seem stupid when it comes to her favorite book, which is a work of fiction. The end left her with questions about what became of three of the characters. (Yes, I consider a hamster a character.) And, boy, she really needs to know! It takes a drunk to tell her that nothing became of them because they aren't real.<br/><br/>But you probably already read this.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2B7V5C1HEKEG9?ASIN=014242417X	Amanda Corshia Medway Summer Reading	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">For my summer reading, I chose to read The Fault In Our Stars.  My sister recommended that I should read this book because she thought I would enjoy the story.  She read the book and told me that she really enjoyed it.  I also had many friends that read the book and told me that I would love the story.  I would recommend this book to another high school reader because most high school student read books that involve a love story and The Fault In Our Stars is a love story that people can relate to.  I would tell them that this book is about a girl who has Cancer and how she thinks that her life won't be special and that nothing good will happen to her.  This book did not meet my expectations because I though that the book would be just a boring book about a girl and her Cancer story, but really it is about a girl and her trying to have a normal life while living with Cancer even though some things might not happen the way she wants them to.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R29P04OFH0QL6F?ASIN=014242417X	Heartwarming, poignant, grounding work of literature...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I just finish reading this book and my heart aches with joy and sadness. Two extreme emotions that in rare and not so rare occasions can cross paths and linger at the fork for a while. Well, I'm currently standing at that fork with happy tears and an aching heart that I came across such an incredible story.<br/><br/>The characters in this story were profoundly depicted and well developed. I was able to feel the pain and agony of each character--their impotence to prolong their lives and love and the heartbreaking realization that in the end we must all succumb to life's will. Gus teaches the reader that by bowing down to the will of the universe does not mean he gave up on life, instead, he gave in to it. Gave in by choosing to live the best life he could with whatever time he had left. This book focuses on the art of celebrating life and enjoying every second of it around those we love the most. A lesson we often need to be reminded of.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3CO0E0PBP4IH3?ASIN=014242417X	Probably the best book I've ever read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Ok, now lets just get something straight, I never re-read books. Never. I hate watching a movie more than once (usually). I already know what's going to happen, why watch it again, right? Not this book, not at all. I wasn't even finished the book when I already wanted to re-read it, to laugh again as I read it and even to cry again. I can't wait to read it again, and not only that, this book is a long time coming too I've seen the quotes and gotten all of these recommendations, everything but I never got around to it. I'm so glad I finally did, I finished it in roughly two days, and I couldn't put it down. The Fault In Our Stars is probably my favorite book, it has such a deeper meaning yet puts it in such a way that you enjoy it, that it makes sense. And more importantly in a way that sticks with you a way, in a way that you will never forget. That I won't forget Augustus Waters, or Hazel Lancaster because they've already left their scar.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3LPMJNF295JXG?ASIN=014242417X	Love this book!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">With over six thousand reviews, I know I'm not going to be saying anything new or clever here. Heck, I rarely bother writing reviews on the books I read.<br/>However, I just had to say something about how much I loved The Fault in Our Stars. I was hooked from the very first page and didn't want to put it down. I read it in the car during my lunch breaks. I read it at home and made my husband wonder why I was ignoring him. The last time I read a book so voraciously was Deathly Hallows (six years ago!), and that was also the last time I felt a real emotional connection to literary characters and what happens to them. I laughed with them, I cried with them (like the soon-to-be 30 year old baby that I am) and when the book ended, it left me wanting more. John Green is really a master of his craft.<br/>If you are reading this review and trying to decide whether or not to buy this book...don't think. Just read it. You won't be disappointed.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RNMSHQZTRWCKR?ASIN=014242417X	A Timeless Book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was fantastic, and horrible, and wonderful, and tragic.  There are almost no words to describe the amount of emotions the reader goes through while reading this book.  First of all, you're pulled immediately into the story and you do not want to put the book down.  The more you read the better it gets, and isn't that what we all really want when we pick up a book?  I also loved that while it's a book about people with cancer, it wasn't totally 100% sadness all the time.  There were moments of pure hilarity and I found that endearing.  I fell in love with Hazel, and Augustus, and even Isaac.  I feel this is one of those stories that will stay with me a lifetime.  One I might actually be tempted to re-read...and I don't say that about many books for the plain and simple fact that there are too many great books in the world to read.  I don't know what audience I'd suggest this too, other than basically anyone who enjoys reading.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1S9MCEW7OYHUH?ASIN=014242417X	Disappointing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is probably not going to be a popular review. Full disclosure, I listened to this as an audio book, the unabridged edition.<br/><br/>I gave this book three out of five stars. Quite frankly, I just couldn't connect with the characters and found the book a bit boring. There was one point about ¾ of the way through that I thought was a great place to end the book. It would have left me guessing and wondering. Now, I don't have to do any of that and I probably won't give this book another thought.<br/><br/>I always question whether or not books (and movies for that matter), just get overhyped. I had this on my to be read list right after it came out. But then it was pushed so much and the audiobook was cheap in anticipation of the movie release.<br/><br/>I thought this was generally predictable and shallow and required too much suspension of belief on my part. I was disappointed in it. But then, I'm not a teenage girl either.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R5Z867EEZ5WN6?ASIN=014242417X	a wonderful love story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The book shows a love story of two teenagers who have cancer.  I listened to an audio version first. From the sound of this audio book, I can understand the emotional parts of the characters clearer. The one thing was missing was some of the vocabularies. As an English as a second language reader, audio book did not help me understand the concept deeply, since there are a lot a words that I am not familiar with. So I bought the book and wanted to read one more time. I have been reading for days, the book makes me feel better. I can underhand better and I can look the words up if I do not understand.  The love feels real in the story, which is unusual in young adult love stories.It is a wonderful book for young adults. The book is so touching and I recommend the book for the young adults who will or are in love with others. It may be a good lesson for them before their adults' lives.  The movie should be interesting to watch as well.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I loved this book (like most of the rest of the world). As an adult reader and parent, I related to it as a parent and I cried more than once. Green has a gift for dialogue. He can do funny. He can do deep. He can do love. And the thing that I find never fails in his writing, is the believeability. I believed in these teens. They sounded and acted like teens. I listened to TFIOS on audio book and the out loud reading added to my experience. On a side note, I was signing books at the LA Times Festival of the book last year for my YA novel DEATH SPIRAL. My nine year old daughter was with me. Before the signing, we waited in John Green's line to get a book signed, but there must've been five thousand people in his line and given the hot sun, we gave up. When my daughter discovered that you could count the number of people at my signing on one hand, she said ""I wish you were John Green."" To which I said, ""Don't we all!""</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2XYRVT8MBZB49?ASIN=014242417X	A beautiful tragedy	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The love story that is Augustus and Hazel Grace is the type of love story that we see only in the fictional works of romantics like John Green. But I do think that Mr. Green did something extremely important in this book. He shows us, that even the most perfect of love still isn't perfect. The Fault in our Stars is a story that reassures us that love will come and it will cause us pain, whether it be through the loss of loved one as all those who loved Augustus experienced, or whether it be from love that ultimately falters and for whatever reason doesn't work out. This book teaches us that love, as powerful and euphoric as it an be is also inevitably both finite in duration and because of that, painful. This book is a beautiful story that portrays love for what it really is, real. And also shows that none of us are truly stronger or better than another. We are all human and we all cope and survive when the universe demands us to.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R28P5E9PTP2BW3?ASIN=014242417X	Difficult read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I found this book to be a difficult read because I am a mother of a beautiful little girl suffering from a different kind of disease that is 100% terminal. Cystic Fibrosis, a disease she was born with &amp; will live the rest of her life in suffering. I fear that she will become isolate, feel like a failure because of her limitations, but mostly I fear losing her &amp; know that I will but not when. I was a single mother/divorcee for several years &amp; had every intention of staying that way because I felt it unfair to bring others into our suffering. I am now remarried &amp; my daughter has a little sister. I still feel guilt when I think about it &amp; dread the day I have to explain to my youngest daughter why sissy isn't coming home. This story puts our story on paper. I hoped that by reading this book I would get some sort of insight as to what to expectant in the future &amp; how to deal with it when it comes. I do believe it has done just that.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R123ZPEYSFRRO8?ASIN=014242417X	You build relationships with the characters	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Although this book caused me to break down sobbing on an airplane (I received many judging glances), this story was incredibly and utterly inspiring. Before this I was always aware of the cancer in the world, but I never really put much thought into it or how it affected people; but after I finished this book in only a few hours (which I very much enjoyed), I finally realized the importance behind it. Now when my dad comes home from his work at the hospital saying, ""I cured another cancer patient today,"" I will appreciate it much more and modern sciences concerning it. This novel creates a dimension where it is only you and the book, similar to the one only Augustus and Hazel share. It creates a special relationship between you and the characters- I feel as if I have been there the whole time shadowing them, building relationships with them. I know I will never quite find a book like this again, for nothing can compare to this.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R27IPZVXFB0XYB?ASIN=014242417X	changed my perspective on life after reading this.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I loved this book. I just finished reading it for my third time in between august 2013- may 2014. I had to re-read it before I see the movie on june seventh which is my birthday(: my two best friends have both read the book after I told them to read it, and now we have been fangirling over just talking about the book and watching the trailer over and over again. I love watching tfios interviews. But anyway i feel like this movie can explain so many teenagers just like Hazel or Gus. Not just with the cancer just maybe they loved someone so dearly. I don't really know how else to explain this book other than it seriously changed my perspective of life or just the world around us and realizing how many people have gone through so much pain. Like Hazel, Gus, and even Isaac.  I highly recommend reading the book before you watch the movie, especially because you can re-live all the emotions you had reading the book during the movie.</span>"

It was a surprisingly not so depressing book about kids with Cancer. Very well written, starring likable, clever characters. A librarian I spoke to said that she didn't like the book very much because the characters weren't believable and that they were too witty to be real teenagers. I don't agree--maybe real teenagers don't speak like these characters do, but it would be cool if they did! Also, if the book were some glum, depressing book about kids with Cancer, I don't think as many people would be reading it, and we all want our kids to read, right? Probably, if I were my daughter, I would give the book five stars. I really liked this book, but my predictions about how the book would turn out were right on, and sometimes, I like to be wrong. Still, enjoyable. Oh, and I have been very close to the Literal Heart of Jesus, so that was fun!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3N8C5P38ORZY6?ASIN=014242417X	AP English Teacher	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I'm not a tremendous fan of YA literature, but I must say this is one of the better ones. At times the author's voice and intellect overtook the adolescent voice of Hazel and sometimes Gus; however, I also appreciate intellect, literary allusion, and realism. My grandmother died of cancer and my mother is in remission, so I appreciate the author's attempt at treating cancer in a more raw, realistic way. It's hell, but it's life. Saccharine treatments of love and illness are what typically turn me off from YA and pop-lit, so I enjoyed the jabs made at cliches and the attempts to write ""love"" and ""loss"" differently (e.g. kissing in the Anne Frank house made me enjoy the juxtaposition of young love and impending death or the parallelism between Anne and Hazel). Overall, it was a very thoughtful meditation on life, young love, and death. The universe wants to be noticed, and indeed, I noticed it in this novel.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2XIEA8MOK8BPE?ASIN=014242417X	This book is not soon to leave my memory....	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">When I pick a book, I generally tend to read the bad reviews first. Why??? Because ""Fad"" books such as these tend to receive reviews that cannot separate the writing from its popularity and therefore cannot always be properly critical when needed. Anyhow, between the gushing reviews and the fact this is not the normal book I'd scoop up it dropped to last place on my what-do-I-read-next list. THANK GOODNESS on a whim a hit download mostly because I was tired of trying to choose a book ... I will not likely forget this story anytime soon- wonderfully written, clever, and unique. Many lower star reviews held the opinion that the ""cancer"" theme was an unneeded backstory mostly used to garner sympathy from its readers- but I believe this to be untrue, as the inevitability of death is also in our stars just as life is, and this book makes us recognize both and cancer is the tool the writer chose to teach us that</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RCOQGB45NYVHJ?ASIN=014242417X	My thoughts are stars I cannot fathom into constellations...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I really wish it wasn't one in the morning, or that I had the patience to wait until morning to review this book... but to quote our incomparable Hazel Grace ""the world is not a wish granting factory.""<br/><br/>This book is a beautiful blessing of a book, the kind you have to immediately recommend to someone so it can be shared... it has to be shared.<br/><br/>Like all of Green 's novels it is deceptively simple; clear, simple prose and impossibly charming characters (seriously there are almost zero unlikeable characters in this book) allow for its complex ideas and philosophy to go unnoticed until its true, profound nature hits you in the chest in such a personal way that you find it hard to believe that the book wasn't written for your eyes alone.<br/><br/>It is a very fine, very special novel about life and death in both a small personal and a large universal sense.<br/><br/>I loved it. Read it now. Pass it on.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2H8HS4LR8JZLC?ASIN=014242417X	Grab your box of tissues...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">When I picked up this book, all I knew about it was that it had 11,000+ 5-star ratings on amazon.com. YIKES, I thought! That must be one great book! It is a very good book, but a very sad book. I can't rate it 5-stars because my definition of FIVE means I want to read it again and again. One round of this heartbreak is enough for me. The characters are well-developed, the plot has some interesting twists and turns, the heartbreak you think you are preparing for is not the heartbreak you get. The characters' voices were realistic and they will stick with me for a long time. I think it would make a good movie - but I'm not sure I would want to see it. I just couldn't stop thinking about how incredibly SAD it would be to have a child with cancer. (Understatement). It made it hard for me to enjoy the humorous anecdotes and quirky personalities of the characters. Recommended, but only if you can handle the topic emotionally.</span>"

2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RE5X1CH3M5NGZ?ASIN=014242417X	OMIGOD	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is probably one of the best books I have ever read.<br/>You learn a lot from this book. It is a book that teaches you what its like on that not-so-happy-ending-storys. But its also one of those books were its almost like a happy ending, but also not. Its so heart breaking, romantic, and wonderful in so many ways that it makes me wanna go somewhere random and start rolling in grass. Ya you heard me. Its even better when you read it at 3AM. I personally love this book so much. It really inspires me and you know that when you try to put yourself in their shoes. Imagine having cancer. I cant imagine it. And then also getting a scan and realizing that half of your body is living with cancer, or going blind, or having the most suckyest lungs ever.<br/>And sometimes I thing MY life is bad when I have a perfectly good one.<br/><br/>Excuse me now I'm going to raise money for a charity<br/>-Sofia<br/>(11 yrs old)</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RUDRF2QR9Z2GN?ASIN=014242417X	Improbable Hope Among Chaotic Cosmos	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">You ever read a book that is so beautifully painful that you can't put it down even though tears? That you feel obligated to finish as if reading its final--inevitable--conclusions will honor those characters who once lived amidst it's pages? That is the book The Fault in Our Stars for me. I feel so deeply in love with the star-crossed, intertwined ambitions of it's world. The story of it's characters' lives will surely live on through me--equals in my mind to any real being--, and in only so much depth as my perspective can lend, impacting lives beyond where the text ends. Thank you for making me smile along this journey and prodding my own existential wanderings. This book brings to the front lines the true battle within humanity and between consciousness. It's a surreal, and eloquent ride in the mind of a true, humbling Observer. Surely, as I imagine for Hazel, August Water's smile will be burned in my mind forever.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1L2SPK2FYB5IH?ASIN=014242417X	I don't want to give it 5 stars...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I don't want to give it 5 stars, but I must.  I don't want to because it tore my heart out and made me weep as I haven't  wept in years. The grand ""suck-i-tude"" of how much the story broke my heart made me want to throw my kindle across the room. However, anytime a story grips me until the very last page, makes me nash my teeth in bitter despair and frustration, while weeping for joy at the poignant beauty of it all, it must be given a 5.<br/><br/> This book really should get a 6. It gives a raw, honest, irreverent perspective on what it means to be human while dying. As gut wrenching as it is, it is truth. Not some sterilized cliche with a stereotypical ""happy"" ending that gives ""meaning"" to all the suffering. It is hilarious and sad, deep and lighthearted, heavy and soaring, intellectual and silly. All the things that make us real. Best book I've read in ... I honestly don't know how long.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RSZDZMIMNGAES?ASIN=014242417X	Good	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Hazel Grace and Augustus Waters are the two main characters of this book. They are two teenagers that are faced with cancer in their life. Together they try to live as normally as they can and fall in love along the way. The genre is a romantic comedy. I feel that it is entertaining to the right audience. If a teenage girl reads this book and is interested in romantic books that are sappy they will feel this book is entertaining. However the book could be predictable. I knew at times that things were going to occur only because the always happen in other book and movies as well. It is an easy read besides sometimes in the book the author makes the kids seem smart and use bigger words than an average teenager would use. This makes the book confusing at times and not as relatable as it could be. Once again I would recommend it to the correct audience. If the person does like sassy girly books then they would like this.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3BS2Q858ZA5PN?ASIN=014242417X	Grief...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Housekeeping - absolutely no issues and there shouldn't be with an established, publishing house author. Although sometimes one is surprised be errors found in books that should NOT have them, those who have the machine providing editing resources have no excuse (unlike us Indies LOL).<br/><br/>Wow to the ""nth"" degree. It's been a LONG time since I ugly cried so much, from the sadness and the joy found in this same sadness. I know lots of readers say the characters are one-dimensional, presumptuous, that there is no way kids this age have this kind of wisdom, etc. I don't care. Whatever the subject matter this is fiction and it is beautifully written fiction with an amazing story.<br/><br/>""Grief does not change you, it reveals you."" EPIC<br/><br/>Can't wait to see the movie, the trailers look good and if this is anything like this story I'll be needing a whole box of tissue stashed in my purse!</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2GUAD6KN2CBW4?ASIN=014242417X	It hurts	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">It did hurt reading this book. When I started, yes I did  know Augustus dies, I did know he becomes frail and almost pitiful, and I did know that Hazel breaks down. But what I didn't know is that it hurt me. No, I'm not that easily tangled up in fictional characters, and I know it must seem dumb, crying and hurting over a love story. I had someone pass a way recently. And it was really, really hard for me. He was like my second dad, always there for me, and like in the book when Hazel says the only person she wanted to talk to about Gus dying was Gus, she was so, so right. Applause to John Green for making thousands of people sob, for making people fall in love with Hazel, Augustus, and everybody else, and for making people's hearts ache. Applause to everyone dealing with pain much worse than mine. Applause to that someone fighting for themselves, their loved ones, and the world. And applause to you, mere reader.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R35Q2G466L2Q0Y?ASIN=014242417X	Two faults ...so I give the book three stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">First of all, what I liked about the book was that it was an easy read and truly witty in some of its dialogue.  However the conversations were too deeply intellectual for the age of the characters. Nevertheless I did find it interesting the way cancer was addressed by cancer patients and the way different families deal with their children's illnesses.<br/><br/>What lost a star is that I don't think the book is in that ""memorable"" category.<br/><br/>Second star lost because the idea of a mom taking her young and sick teenage daughter on a trip with her dying teenage boyfriend to ultimately enjoy a roll in the hay, well that's just too modern family for me.<br/><br/>I would say if you have a loved one as I do who is now battling cancer it is worth reading the book to take a different perspective on a patient's thought process and perhaps to get a glimpse into the mind of someone facing the ultimate finality.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3R02HU7AJRTP?ASIN=014242417X	Living is an Everyday Event	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I will start by saying cancer sucks.  It has to really suck if you are a teenager fighting it.  Although this story is fiction, it was captivating for me as a mom.  I could understand Hazel's mom as she sometimes appeared to be a creeper watching and worrying about her daughter's every move.  I think most people, both young and old would enjoy reading about young love that happens to involve two teenagers struggling with cancer and trying so hard not to be victims.  The story is funny at times and heartbreaking at others.  However we choose to make our mark on the world, we really are all the same.  Cancer free or not, everyone deserves to be loved and to love.  It is our human condition.  I laughed at the oxymoron, cancer perks while finding myself immersed in the lives of three young people who became friends because of cancer.  I was able to read this book very quickly, enjoying every delicious minute of it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R25V3EG4ROFSE1?ASIN=014242417X	absolutely fantastic!!!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read a fault in our stars when my friend recommended it to me. I read the first chapter and forgot about it. Then for some reason I had this overwhelming feeling to just finish the book.. and I read it all that night. I could not put this book down.<br/>I never write reviews on books. I also never reread books... I have reread this book about 8 different times now... I absolutely love this book. I cant get enough of it.. John green is an amazing author,  he made me bawl during this book. Which does not happen.<br/>I recommend The Fault in Our Stars to everyone, even if you don't care for reading. It will make you cry, it will break your heart, you will get mad, but you will love every second of it!!<br/>I cant force you to read it, no one can, but if you don't you will miss out on the amazing heartfelt story that is The fault in our stars.. so if you take anything from this review, it is READ THIS BOOK!!!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1T4DB4BSBX6HZ?ASIN=014242417X	Not Your Everyday Young Adult Lit.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">John Green, the author of The Fault in Our Stars, does not romanticize the experience of having cancer as many books do-he approaches it with a realistic attitude though his characters, and makes it relatable for anyone. But what Green really does wonderfully is examine the quirky, beautiful, terrible, and over all enigmatic hearts of humans. He is able to make people recognize the amazing truths of what our hearts contain, all while telling a story; a story about a girl with cancer and a boy with a prosthetic leg who fall in love, with America's Next Top Model, a story of a tulipman, champagne, certain half-deserted streets, blind-guy video games, a completely mad and yet unbelievably wise old writer, and a very important notebook thrown in as well. And it turns out that all these things, when put together, create a wonderful novel.<br/>DFTBA.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1DYRZ1A6API3R?ASIN=014242417X	His wish spent on her *SPOILER ALERT	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">There was such hype behind this book and I disregarded it at first; not being into the teenage romance types. Then I thought of The Twilight Series. Teenage Vampires? Wolves? heh..no. Then a friend begged me to just read the first chapter.<br/><br/>Hooked. I became completely enthralled in the impossible. This is why I gave The Fault In Our Stars a chance. This one is obviously based on realistic situations. I definitely connected wish Augustus Waters, the reason..I have none. I just liked him.<br/>However, the chapters focusing on the Amsterdam Trip had me skimming and skipping. I know the trip and whole idea of them falling in love perhaps because of the connection they had with the characters in the book.<br/>I just think there could have been less words. Not the book I expected but still worth the read. I just kinda feel guilty that I'm not in a puddle of tears like so many I know we're after reading.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RFGGW47HUA9L1?ASIN=014242417X	An honest look at love, death and dying.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is a quick read but one I found very worthwhile. In some ways, it's a fairly predictable teen love story written for young adults. Girl meets boy, they hit it off, they have a romantic adventure and fall in love.  The twist here is that both of our protagonists are cancer patients.<br/><br/>This is a story about what it is like to love someone you know is dying.  What it is like to be someone who is dying, and still have the courage to fall in love.  What I appreciated most about the story was that John Green mostly gets it right.  The desire to just be normal, or at least as normal as possible.  The worry about how your situation affects others.  The truth that to love someone, and be loved by them is a gift and a privilege no matter how long it lasts.  The truth that some people just aren't up to it, and that others don't have any choice.  I've been there and I can tell you that this book rings true.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R20XQZN2L4LWDF?ASIN=014242417X	Teen Cancer Patients	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The cancer experience was remarkably well documented. The writing is on target.  I was a young adult cancer patient 36 years ago.  Survival projections were 85%, very good for cancer in those days.  Treatments were brutal.  I was asked to help others going through the experience.  Young people with the same type and initial staging had relapses and some did not survive.  I was a young married adult; I tried  to keep trauma away from<br/>my children and family.  Surgeries and weight loss, hair loss all obvious issues, so neighbors and teachers told my girls their Mom was dying unbeknownst to me.  Prognosis after treatment:  5 year test then they projected a possibility to make it to age 45.  I am far beyond my ""death sentence"" after many surgeries and related damage traumas.  Grateful for the time to have another daughter and meet my grandchildren.  The book was just hard for me to read.  Too tragic.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1TX2SQR3SEDGF?ASIN=014242417X	Hard but rewarding reading	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is a wonderful but difficult book.  I fell in love with the characters in pretty much record time - they are just so charming, you won't be able to help yourself.  But just as quickly as you fall in love with them, you know that things won't end well - and you dread what will happen to your new friends.  You'll read the book quickly, because it moves fast and the prose is witty and smart (why can't I be that awesome when I speak?!?), but you also get more and more afraid of what you're going to find out as you keep reading.  As a parent, I found myself identifying most with the moms and dads in the story (a statement more about where I am in my life than anything else) but it's pretty hard to find a character you won't like and root for and hope for (even the one you think you don't you will a bit, just wait).<br/><br/>Real, hard, full of suffering and love and hope and setbacks - what a great book.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3H3Q27Q21GLWR?ASIN=014242417X	Best Book In Awhile	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">John Green is an amazing author and the fan base he has made for himself among young adult readers is huge. Especially due to this youtube channels. I picked this book up after my fourteen year old son read it for the third time and kept insisting I read it. He and all his friends are huge John Green fans. I pick up the book and I read it from front to back. It is amazing and very enduring to the human spirit. The look he takes at cancer kids as he calls them and allows us to look inside their lives and struggles is very real even though this is a fictional story. He does not sugar coat what the characters are experiencing. I feel if anything reading this book will help people of all ages understand more what it is like for people struggling with any terminal illness and understand what their friends or family are enduring at that time. Just have tissues ready and lots of them because the tears will roll.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2JBDA8PJ4SR75?ASIN=014242417X	An epic tale of love, life and the joys that come along, even if very brief	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book...oh, this book. What can I say here? Augustus is wonderfully romantic without being over the top, which many male characters are. Hazel is raw and a bit cynical, but I love her. I am not sure why she answered most questions with a question, as if she was unsure, but perhaps that was the point; she was a homebody afterall.<br/><br/>The story here is so true to life, in that we all get a set number of days and it doesn't matter if we do something extraordinary, but that we find joy in our sorrows, laughter in our tears and experience the pain that makes us feel, even if it sucks.<br/><br/>I sobbed...hard when I watched the movie, and just as hard reading the book after. The feelings you evoke, Mr. Green, are very powerful and for that I applaud you and give this a very enthusiastic 5 stars. I will be re-reading this book for years, perhaps even as often as Hazel read An Imperial Affliction.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3IVIMSWY4LU8Q?ASIN=014242417X	Such a great book!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I put off reading this book for a long time because after reading the description, I thought it would be too sad and depressing. I'm so glad I finally decided to read it! Yes, the book is sad. But it's so much more than that. It's hilarious at times, it's witty, it's really deep, and, like a great book should, it engages all of the reader's emotions. I've read other reviews that say that the characters aren't realistic because of they way they talk and think at such a young age, but I wholeheartedly disagree. I can imagine that nothing in the world would mature high school kids quite as fast as having to face their own mortality. I felt the characters were realistic, honest, and refreshing. This book made me look at things differently, made me appreciate things more, made me understand that life is still beautiful even when it's not so beautiful. Loved it. Will read it again, and I definitely recommend.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1U3HSBG6USGC0?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">My favorite part of this book was the characters, especially Hazel.  John Green does an absolutely impeccable job of developing characters that seem real without being average or dull. Another great part of this book is how bluntly cancer is represented. The characters themselves even make fun of “cancer cliches”.Throughout the book Hazel provides you with light, witty, humor, which is exactly what's needed when reading a book with topics as heavy and massive as child cancer patients.<br/>Overall there's not much negative to say about this book, as long as you know what you're getting into. The only negative reviews I've heard of this book are ones by people who don't like young adult novels, and people who don't like romance novels, and there's not much I can say to those people. I'd say give this book a chance, and I can almost guarantee you will find yourself completely obsessed until you finish it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1L7ZAQPYNWKFF?ASIN=014242417X	Refreshing in the time of Gossip Girl ::spoilers::	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I find that with the current Media available there is too much sex, too many drugs, too much alcohol and far too stupid people. John Green produced another book that reminds me of the intelligent youth. It tells the story of two intelligent youths put in the position where they are dying of cancer and turns into a romance that is rushed into the desperate need to be loved teenagers feel. The sex was sweet, non-graphic, and non-rushed as it should have been for a young adult novel. The love was real and the parents were depicted as intelligent loving caring people who were dealing with the very real situation of their children having cancer and the inevitable consequences of cancer. I give this book five stars without being a nerdfighter but knowing what they are. I read books, it's what I do and I enjoyed this one without compromise.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RQFA3CEZC0R5A?ASIN=014242417X	Brought tears to my eyes for so many different reasons.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">TFIOS is one of my favorite books of all time. This story touched me in ways that my heart never went.  The writing style was so perfectly voiced that you would never really know that a grown man was the author of this book, told from the perspective of a teenage girl. I loved the themes and imagery. I still hold many parts of this book as treasures in my memory, as though I was there watching My family underwent the tragic journey of adolescent terminally diagnosed cancer when my uncle was 15. Knowing this I recommended this book to my mom and she gave it to her mom. My mother, his sister, and my grandmother, his mother, all appreciated it not only for its accuracy in portraying a mother's concern for her child, but also how a child feels when they have no hope. I can speak for all three of us when I say: This book is a MUST READ. Also, keep a box of tissues at hand. Amazing job, John Green. DFTBA</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RA9MMFMN9QBQH?ASIN=014242417X	Great story, compelling to read.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I have to be really sincere: I found some of the books phrasing very difficult to understand. That doesn't in any way mean anything wrong, in fact, I found it very delightful to find such philosophical and deep sentences for two teenagers. I enjoyed the way feelings were put into the book, and I liked it so much I nearly cried in some parts.<br/>I felt that a message was trying to be transmitted to the reader, like what Augustus W said about Hazel G. So, is it a great book? Indeed it is. I would not hesitate for one second to recommend it. I had a hard time hooking to it at first, but once the story developed I found a way of staying connected to the story even when I was not reading. Also, I loved the way the author made the reader not feel PITY throughout the entire book. It makes you feel that you are reading a story about just two  teenagers.<br/><br/>PS, it kinda makes you want to read AIA.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RM32UILK137TN?ASIN=014242417X	Extraordinary, yet, heart breaking love story.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I am writing this review as a young 14 year old who actually lives in Indiana.<br/>This book really affected me, changed the way I view the outside world. But how does one as an individual learn truth about the world without virtual and mechanical help (via. Google)? Well, there are various ways we can take upon ourselves but which most of the human race is too blinded to see what we have right in front of us. Now you're probably thinking, what does a 14 year old who uses logically words in the wrong context know about life or ""the Outside World""? Well, that's the thing. I'm uneducated by all means of life. I live in a generation filled of technology and instagram.  Now you're probably thinking what the hell does this have to do with the book? Life isn't suppose to make sense nor is this. Well, just like Van Houten, life ends in the middle of a...<br/>  SINCERELY,<br/>  Brinton.Amber@Gmail.com</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2Q1QTPW02M7Y2?ASIN=014242417X	Honesty	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I think the reason so many people read this book is because it gave you such a new perspective.  It was a fresh look at the real reason people want to leave a mark. It's not always for them but for the people they love to never be able to forget them.  This book taught me so many things. Not only about life but about love and how it ""doesn't change you it reveals you"". Augustus and Hazel are such inspirations. I would recommend this book to someone who is looking for a change. A way to cope with there problems by realizing ""that's some infinities are bigger than other infinities"". Your problem may be big to you but it won't leave a mark in the grand scheme of things. This was an amazing book and of course I would hope for a sequel but I guess everything  really ended the way it should have, with nothing left unclosed. I would hope that everyone would read this book. It deserves to leave its mark.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R4EU5RID9QCDD?ASIN=014242417X	"My opinion on ""The fault in our Stars"""	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This was probably one of the best books I have ever read. I was intrigued with the way Hazel and Gus felt towards each other and interested with how they spoke to one another. They showed affection with simple phrases and quotes from their favorite authors or poets. I was truly mortified when Augustus told Hazel he had a recurrence. I knew that one of them died, (my prediction was Hazel,) or that they both died together. It was a plot twist and if I must say so myself a good one. Yes of course my heart shattered when Augustus died, but I didn't cry. I could only feel the pain of Hazel. And I found myself feeling bad for them both, even though Hazel and Augustus hated that type of thing. I pictured Hazel being slim but elegant with how she carried herself about the world. I wanted Augustus to be the superhero that comes in and saves her, but it turns out that they seemed to have saved each other.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RMQLY6XBJPOIK?ASIN=014242417X	Writing style is too simplistic	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">John Green seems to be loved by absolutely everyone I come in contact with, so by the time I got to the novel, my expectation was raised to that of Harry Potter or The Signature of all Things. I believe this is partly why I didn't enjoy it. It was written too simplistically, comparable to Suzanne Collins' train wreck. Simply another young adult book that is able to reach the masses with ease. Humans are united by common understanding, so naturally a simplistic novel that is easily understood by a large populace will go ""viral"" and get rolled into a multi-million dollar movie (Yet another thing to raise expectation). The point is, it is easy to publish a book, it's publishing something worth while that is the true challenge. This novel didn't do it for me. Being able to read a novel in a day is not pleasurable, I want to be part of the characters' lives for at least a week, not six hours.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R31XFEZMB6GZ4W?ASIN=014242417X	The fault in our stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">:( I am disappointed in the ending in this book:( you are probably wondering why I gave this book 5 stars then. Well it is.because it is true. These things happen and not every book.have fairy tail endings. I know this. Gus was the last person I expected to die in this book however he did. I have to admit I am crying like crazy over this book. While this is not the happiest book it is my favourite book of all time! I am hoping you don't make a sequel. A sequel will just take attention away from this marvellous book. While I understand hazel will have more of a life after this but her life in this book is so well crafted that I can't imagine anything better and the sequel is never is as good as the original! However if you could make up a few letters or something Gus wrote to hazel in his last days that would be great! I think you are a wonderful author and hope you write more amazing books!!!!!</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R8XY57J31THSX?ASIN=014242417X	Well...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I might be one of the only people on the planet that didn't fall madly in love with this book. The characters talked Dawsons Creek-style, and when I wasn't skimming long speeches, I was wondering if I had ever met a teenager who talked like them, much less two, and even less two with cancer that just happened to fall in love. At times, the book almost seemed like it was making fun of itself or its own genre though I doubt it was. It was just comical sometimes how unrealistic it all was, especially considering the serious nature of the book (the deep themes, the characters grappling with their own mortality, grief, etc). Don't want to give anything away so I'll stop there.<br/><br/>I would recommend this book for anyone who is looking for an afternoon read. If you consider it the greatest love story ever told, you might want to read a few more books, but this one won't be a waste of your time.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R23EZ2SFLTMY94?ASIN=014242417X	Really good book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This story was touching, funny, sad, and thought-provoking.<br/><br/>I personally found the characters to be very believable. I know some reviewers thought that their dialogue was unnatural for teenagers, but me and my book-obsessed friends talked in similar non-teenagerish ways when we were that age. This is the story of a young girl with cancer, who is battling it with as much dignity as she can, although she doesn't have any long-term hope of recovery. (A bit of a spoiler alert- she doesn't die in the book, which was a relief to me. I'm not going to say it has a happy ending, but it didn't end on a depressing note.) She has accepted the reality of her death, but still lives her life to get as much happiness as she can. Her boyfriend is very likable, with his thoughtful analysis of everyday situations, and they make a very cute pair, who often had me laughing. I recommend this book highly.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R13WHTZ2PL8O12?ASIN=014242417X	Fell in love, despite initial misgivings.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The first John Green book I read (Looking for Alaska) wasn't really my cup of tea, so I held off a long time for this book.  However, after seeing endless accolades and fuss for both the book and the movie, I thought I would read the preview available on Amazon.  I was hooked immediately, and so I read the rest as soon as I was able (received book as bday gift).  Although the subject is kind of depressing, I appreciated how the teens just wanted to be treated as normally as possible, how they became friends and more, how cancer and being a ""grenade"" didn't have to be part of the equation (and this includes Isaac).  I like the parents, too - doing their best to hold it together, despite the circumstances.  Not a happy ending, exactly, but some relief from the heartbreak, at least.  A book with powerful emotions, as well as some humor.  John Green definitely wrote a winner with this one.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RUI41HNM70178?ASIN=014242417X	Absolutely incredible.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I put off reading this book for quite a while because I had heard just enough about it to make me fear that the story would be one too difficult for me to finish.  As a parent, I am constantly plagued by fears for my children, and I believed that I wouldn't be able to appreciate the greatness that so many people claimed there was to be found in this story through the distraction of imagining one of my daughters in the role of the central character.  I was wrong not to have read this the first moment it came out, because it is one of the most intelligent and interesting books I have ever had the pleasure of reading.  There was no time to drift away to depressing thoughts of loss while traveling these pages, I was too swept up in the feelings of Hazel, too desperate to learn more about Augustus, and too impressed with the author's skill in weaving their story together to focus on anything else.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R36OI2Y9XM0PG1?ASIN=014242417X	An amazing story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is an amazing story. It's told by Hazel, sixteen years old and suffering from cancer. Naturally, many of her friends are fellow 'Cancer Kids' but far from being a gloomy book, the youngsters' attitude to their illness is wry, funny and very mature. There are some wonderful observations. People say they are battling cancer but as one pointed out, 'The cancer is me so it's a civil war.' Hazel says that they are the failed experiments in the mutations of evolution.<br/>The story could be depressing but it isn't. It's not over-sentimental but takes a deep look at what it is to love and how those who survive us manage to live with our absence. Hazel, Augustus, her boyfriend and Isaac, another of the Cancer Kids, are intelligent, witty, amusing and extremely lovable characters. It's excellent writing which can create these characters without resorting to schmaltz. A book everyone should read.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars is the most beautiful book that I have read all year (and I read A LOT) .<br/>I loved how John Green has different layers to his writting. It's not a flat story,  he really does develop the character beautifully throughout the novel. While I was reading this book, I really felt like I was there with Hazel. I felt her pain and I felt her joy too.<br/>To me, what truly makes a fantastic book, is to make the reader feel something for the character.  And let me tell you, I was bawling and laughing for a good part of this book.<br/>I also appreciate that it's not just a book about love (like most books nowadays) it's also about something that most humans are afraid of :  Cancer.<br/>But it's not just about them (Hazel and Gus)  being sick,  it's that they had the courage to get out there and find love in  a situation that most people wouldn't even bother finding love in.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3SWCSUA2GWIP6?ASIN=014242417X	Nonreader's Perspective	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I am by no means a leisure reader. Usually dedicating the pre-bedtime hours to reading, I rarely get through a book less than a month before moving on to the next.<br/><br/>But this.<br/><br/>This right here.<br/><br/>This captivated me enough to finish this book in two days. I've never read a book that I've been so enthralled with, and John Green has a way with words that is almost magical. The dialogue is believable, yet poetic. And while I'm no longer a teenager, I do recall a time when I excessively used big words in daily communication. Not so much anymore, resulting in looking up quite a few every chapter to remind myself the various meanings.<br/><br/>I've also never highlighted so many sentences in a book that I felt were so incredibly thought-provoking.<br/><br/>This book makes you laugh, makes you learn, makes you cry. It's a book about life and death that makes you feel.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RRAQ6OAM9JXVP?ASIN=014242417X	I don't get the hype	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I was really excited to read this book. Many of my [younger] friends were talking about how great it was, there's a movie coming out, it's always on the ""best books"" lists...so it has to be a great book, right? Wrong. I won't go so far as saying that it was a terrible book. It was readable. I wasn't so bored that I quit reading, but I was very close a few times. There were a few sweet moments, and a few moments when I felt like I may shed a tear, but overall, I just didn't love it. When I hear such great things about a book, I expect to read it quickly and not want to put it down. I had to convince myself to finish this book in hopes that it would eventually become more interesting and maybe I'd find a part that made me actually want to keep reading.<br/><br/>Overall, it's a sweet story with a depressing ending, but it does not live up to the reputation it has undeservingly earned.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RM3WTU99S27FH?ASIN=014242417X	Cancer will touch all of us	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">After being by my husband's side through the diagnosis, chemo, radiation, and surgery of esophageal cancer (he is cancer free at this time), I can in many ways identify with this story.  All outcomes are so different but the many many patients, doctors, nurses, caregivers, friends, and pastors that became a part of our lives in some small way made an impact that touched us. All cancer patients want to be treated as they were prior to the big C. Love them, include them, invite them, and most of all ""Don't hover over them"". Thank you John Green  for capturing in this story bits and pieces of what cancer patients face. With us we were never alone we had Christ with us. A dear friend gave us a Cross with the poem Footprints printed on it she told my husband when he felt so alone that Christ was carrying him. No matter what our religious beliefs, most of us believe in a God. Mine is Jesus Christ.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2C395MZQJIQ4?ASIN=014242417X	You have no idea...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">As someone with chronic illness I cannot convey in words how much this book connects with me on a level so deep it brought me to tears (I haven't cried over a book since I was 8). While my situation is significantly less dire than the characters here that you will come to love, there is something so complicated about being constantly ill and to see someone portray the unexpected trails in a way that is as amusing, and engaging as it is deep causes to truly feel understood, something I don't think I've felt ever. To John Green I give a strong, heartfelt round of applause. Thank you is as all I can say, you're mind's as beautiful as you pen. If you want to, as a healthy/normal person, to understand how people so young and frail can spout philosophy like it's their calling in life then read this book. It's the closest thing to truly understanding the situation short of experiencing it yourself.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R10F0ZXYRK7TKX?ASIN=014242417X	Cheesy, poorly written, etc.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">My opinion is, put simply, this: I though that it was a boringly written book (barely any vocabulary and uninteresting dialogue and narration) with a cheesy love story. I was extremely disappointed because everyone built it up to be a lot more. I heard all the amazing things about how it was the best book ever etc., and I felt it did not live up to that expectation at all. It didn't do that because I felt like it was very simple and I could predict what would happen next. Everybody said it was like the new Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings. No, no, no. Not even close. But with that said, I have to admit that I did cry at some points. A few good things about it though: I loved how Hazel and Gus were intelligent. I hate it when people perceive sick people as stupid people. John Green was really on point with all of the arguments he made through Hazel and Gus. So that's my opinion. Okay? Okay.</span>"

2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R31V24TL40JH7P?ASIN=014242417X	Good for young and old adults	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">A rebellious teen (Hazel) struggles with some of the harsh realities of life, dealing with cancer, love, relationships, and wondering what life is all about; and, by the way, where do you go when you die?  The questions that humans have pondered since the beginning of civilization.<br/><br/>All Hazel (and we) can ever get is a glimpse of the truth from the Arts - the writers of poetry, song and literature, painters and sculptors, and from some place deep within ourselves.  And still the truth about reality remains forever beyond our ability to fully grasp.  And to Hazel, the world has too many  people who say they know the truth, think they know the truth, but are charlatans, full of lovely but empty words.<br/><br/>Ultimately Hazel can only find peace in the acceptance of undeniable fate, and that life will always remain a mystery to be experienced rather than a problem to be solved.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RML7NZP12STHF?ASIN=014242417X	Loved it	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is truly a testament to how heartbreaking (and heartwarming) life can be...and us for a lot of people. Hazel Grace Lancaster, our heroine(?), but I use that term loosely, because Hazel and Augustus both expressed form stances on how they felt about cancer survivors being made out as saints or heroes. Still, Hazel is brave considering how strongly she faces the trials her cancer puts her through, be it physically, mentally, spiritually or emotionally. I admire how both Hazel and Augustus choose to live while dying (their little ""infinity"").<br/><br/>Aside from that, the humor in this book was both unexpected and welcome. There were times I literally laughed out loud; J.G. knows how to balance the comedy and blunt reality of life and death. He never waded into the Waters (wink, wink) of cheesy young adult cliches. Truly a sad, yet realistic take of love, laughter and loss.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RXP7KD0LCPPXG?ASIN=014242417X	Good, but not amazing.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I've never read a romance before but this one, was not as typical as you'd think. I expected it to end like most romances do; they fall madly in love...the end. But it didn't end exactly like that which was refreshing. I mostly read this because it was highly recommended and totally overrated, but somewhat worth it. the only downfall is the fact that it dragged itself out and had so much time consuming fillers inside of it that you can't do anything but hope that it gets to the point quicker. Needless to say, I will be watching the movie adaption of this book because it wasn't too boring and when it got to the point I was slightly hooked and very emotional while reading it. That's what made reading it worth the time.<br/>BTW: I think Augustus's character was annoying sometimes and Hazel was somewhat pretentious majority of the book which was really annoying. You'll see if you read it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1LNDAD60MDIN3?ASIN=014242417X	Girl who has cancer meets boy who also has cancer	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">All the reviews I read about this book said it was one of the finest love stories ever and that the fact that the main characters had terminal cancer was secondary to the story. I find it a bit pretentious to market this book this way, specially when there is not a single paragraph where the oxygen tank of the main character doesn’t get mentioned (she even has a name for it). So how can someone possibly forget that the kids are dying from cancer?<br/>Aside from that, this is a classic love story about a couple of kids who have cancer. I don't know if teenagers have really those deep thoughts, but maybe having a terminal disease gives you this kind of insight. It is believable that kids with a terminal disease would have this kind of concerns about life, death and the world.<br/>Nice read, although very predictable story. Not award-winning, this-book-changed-my-life kind of material.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RI8O20OOUV423?ASIN=014242417X	Rather amazing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I have never written a review before. However, this book is special to me. I don't have a serious disease or anything but I really loved this book. I noticed lots of people tell a basic outline of the plot when they review books, but I don't think I will. Instead I will try to explain why I read this book. Lots of people at my school read this book and loved it, but considering the people at my school... I was quite unsure if I would actually like it. This is a book that I would tell anyone to read. I think the few people who gave this book a lower rate did so because they thought it was to sad or should have been more about the cancer. Personally I don't understand this, if they wanted a happier book or a book more about cancer than they should have read a different book. Anyway I really loved the book and my only complaint is that it will be hard to find a book better than this one.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2TSRVBOR5YE5Y?ASIN=014242417X	Our Fate Is In The Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This was a very well-developed, provocative novel that asks its readers to consider all of the ramifications of knowing what it is like to be a teenager, who has been diagnosed with cancer and a dire prognosis for recovery.  Knowing their lives will most likely be shortened and their hopes and dreams never realized, they find solace and meaningful relationships in a youth support group at their church.  The novel is poignant, told from a teenagers' point of view and with a sardonic edge to their dialogue, typical of adolescents' speech.  Their fears, frustrations and desires cover the whole spectrum of emotions, as they realize their time is short, and they must live in the moment.  Yet the story is full of love, hope and empathy for one another, as they learn to deal with loss and prepare themselves to face their own deaths.  The Fault In Our Stars is a novel one will never forget!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RS0HA3LHAMBED?ASIN=014242417X	Wonderful Story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I admit I read this because my daughter loved it.  I mean- really loved it-and very passionately begged me to read it.  I enjoy reading books she loves because it gives us so much to discuss.  That being said, it was very easy to understand WHY my almost 14 year old daughter loved this story.  The character of Hazel is so well written, she is SUCH a teenager, that kids can’t help but get her.  And add to that the gallant, smart, slightly disrespectful but still nice Augustus Waters.  Who wouldn’t love this guy??  Even Hazel’s parents like him.  I know that almost everyone out there has already read and reviewed this, so I won’t go into the story, except to say it was wonderful, romantic, funny, and extremely sad.  If you haven’t already, please read this book as soon as you can.  And let me know how you liked it!<br/><br/>(and if you have a 14 year old daughter, get her this book)</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RYDAD8H1WZZ49?ASIN=014242417X	Putting parents to shame	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This story is told from the point of view of Hazel, a teenager who knows from day one of her diagnosis that she is going to die. There is sadness, yes, as well as laughter and a great insight into a teenager's resilience to suffering, and to teenagers in general who don't die but are ""no longer bothered by their parents.""<br/>In spite of being attached to an oxygen tank day and night Hazel finds love with Augustus who has lost a leg but has an 80% chance of survival. She also befriends Isaac who loses his second eye to cancer but will live.<br/>I found that the book dragged slightly about a third of the way in (probably an over egging of the awful situation the kids found themselves in) and the book dragged on a couple of pages after it ended. In spite of these quibbles it is an enjoyable read and well worth the time spent.<br/>John McAllister - Avid reader and novelist.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2WPDWRSZJHCD3?ASIN=014242417X	wtf John green	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">By far this was one of the most amazing books I have yet to read. It's ability to create an entire universe full of intricate ideas and complex algorithms of fate that entertained to create the complex story that was 'a fault in our stars' amazed me. The emotion conveyed by the characters and the atmosphere created by their personality left me in awe as I came to the end of the book. As I sit here with the tears i shed because of this story not even dry upon my face I ponder what could have brought about such a story within the mind of a person and I must say that John green is an extraordinary individual. Although I have not yet read any other works by this man I can tell already that the literary art crafted by the amazing mind of mr green may be just as magnificent  In the story's simplicity lies the true art and what made this book one of the best I have ever laid my eyes upon.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1PGM6B1OOXNK6?ASIN=014242417X	A book that will give you an emotional roller coaster ride	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is the first book I've read by John Green.<br/>Wow.. Just wow.<br/>One of the BEST BOOKS I've EVER read. EVER.<br/>It was so beautiful that I fell in love with it.<br/><br/>It made me LAUGH.<br/>It made me SMILE.<br/>It made me CRY. (I just can't help crying.)<br/><br/>What an emotional roller coaster.<br/><br/>It was achingly beautiful!<br/>If you want a book that will make you cry, this is for you. Make sure you have something to wipe your eyes. Just in case you cry or weep. :)<br/><br/>I love Hazel Grace Lancaster. For having a curious mind and a loving lady to Augustus [ till his last breath. :((( (hide spoiler)]<br/><br/>I love Isaac. For making me laugh, especially that trophy smashing. I love his sense of humor.<br/><br/>and of course..<br/><br/>I LOVE AUGUSTUS WATERS<br/>He's funny, sweet, cheesy and brave. Gosh he's a beautiful man with one leg.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1YVXOUM8YQE3A?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing book!<3	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I loved that he tugged at my heart strings to make me feel something for these fictitious people. Even though in my mind it was real. The love, happiness, &amp; pain. There is nothing in this book that I dislike. I'd recommend this book to everyone I know because I did already. I rated it a 5 because it was well written and was the first book to make me cry like a little kid again. I'm glad that he was able to fit every detail into a book that I finished in 3 nights. This is not only the first book to make me cry, but actually make me get dragged into the emotions and keep reading it. I loved it and hope that even though many people have decided to watch the movie and never read the book are missing out on so much more. If john green reads this I'd love to say that I love this book and once I read your other books I hope they are as detailed and emotion packed as this one. Thank you.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2X4BRZUMDY7OU?ASIN=014242417X	Thousand of Stars Exploded Within Me	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I picked up this book yesterday without a doubt in my mind, from what friends had told me about it, that I was in for an experience. However, I was not truly prepared for what happened to me the moment I finished this wonderful concoction of literary brilliance. I found myself again. I wasn't depressed. All the stuff I bottled up for the last five years just faded into the nether. I'm happy. Not faking it like I was when no one knew. I even was inspired to finally begin my own novel which I've been fighting myself to write for eleven years. After reading The Fault in our Stars, I felt like a million stars exploded from head to toe and I just... Changed. I haven't been touched by a book like this since Phillip Pullman's ""His Dark Materials"" series. I couldn't be happier that I chose to purchase this, and the experience is one I will refuse to forget for as long as I live.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2C6VHL98W7RCH?ASIN=014242417X	Absolutely enthralling and very difficult to put down.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I could not put this book down!  I felt every possible human emotion -- from laughing to crying. This book is amazing. It took me on an emotional roller coaster and in the end, it gave me an new found appreciation for life but also an appreciation for the fact that my three boys are healthy. We never know what life is going to throw at us BUT we always need to remember that there are people in this world that face every day challenges that we could NEVER imagine in our own lives. John Green has joined my very exclusive list of favorite writers which includes Stephen King and Pat Conroy. I'm planning to read EVERY book that John Green has written as I did with Stephen King and Pat Conroy. You cannot go wrong with this book and I would recommend it to ... oh, EVERYONE!  It was absolutely enthralling and I'm looking forward to reading all and any books that John Green has written.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RGJOAU6FCATMG?ASIN=014242417X	Easily one of the best books I've ever read.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in our stars is simply incredible. Well, at least incredible enough to make me write the first review I ever did, and I've been reading books for years and years, from fiction to non fiction.<br/><br/>The one thought I had when I finished the book was that this was just so real. When you read the book you feel like you are there with the characters. The characters are so deep and interesting that it is easy to get lost and just read the entire thing in one day (that happened to me and English isn't even my mother tongue!).<br/><br/>No matter how much I will say, it will not be enough to describe the amazing experience which is The fault in our stars.<br/><br/>I hope you'll take the time to read it, and then read it to your kids, and they will read it to their kids.<br/><br/>That amazing.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R37XB0T03Y8OQJ?ASIN=014242417X	I wish I had liked it more.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I really did not like the book. I am so upset that I didn't. I honestly went in expecting to adore this. But I thought the philosophies of the people struggling with cancer and impending death was not genuine and I didn't care that the main character was going to die someday.  I liked the personality of Augustus. But not one of these kids spoke like a modern day human being. They spoke like they came from another time period.  I get the point that they were supposed to be more grown up, as they are facing death and forced to grow up early... but it didn't feel... legit.  The dialogue was too researched and intelligent for average adults.  These kids spoke like literature professors throwing teenage tantrums. It was not believable.  And I am not a fan of the girl they cast in the movie. (which I have not seen.)  So I kept picturing her through the book. erg. Thanks Hollywood.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1BQTPWNN3AS4Y?ASIN=014242417X	THERE'S SIMPLY NO WORDS................	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is literally the nicest and saddest book I have ever read. This book will leave you in tears!!!! I read this book when it first came out, so it wasn't a big deal like it is now. When I was reading it, I thought everyone would get their happy ending &amp; live happily ever after, or something like that. Boy, was I wrong! This book took a twist and turned it around. I literally couldn't believe the ending! By the time I got to the last two pages,my eyes were filled with water and I couldn't read. I had to put the book down, and wipe away my tears, so I could read. At first, I was mad at John Green for the way he ended the story but then I realized; Not all books could have happy ending, some have to end a specific way, so everything can connect.<br/>I would totally recommend this book to anyone! This book will make you laugh,smile,&amp; cry.<br/>This book was just amazing!</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1NKLIOGJ5LVKC?ASIN=014242417X	Reviews are either teen or adult point-of-view . . .	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I'm an adult, so I'll review from the adult side.  This was a beautiful book in many ways.  First, although we knew we were dealing with characters with serious illnesses, the focus was not all on the nitty gritty of what they had to endure.  We were spared the constant descriptions of most of what happens on the physical journey through cancer.<br/><br/>The young characters were easy to know and love.  Although they were mature beyond their years, they were also vulnerable young people, who were dealing with life and death every day.  The adult characters, I think, were poorly developed, but perhaps they were intended to remain in the background.  We really had no insight into any of the parents outside from their relationships with their sick children.<br/><br/>This is a book that is not at all graphic and is sad, rather than depressing.  I think it's a job well done!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RY89MRMS78T30?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">What do you say about a book that changes you? Firstly, John Green is an absolutely amazing author. This was the first book I have read by him and I know it will not be the last. He has a way with words that makes me practically sick thinking I'll never be quite that good. He is witty, captivating, and humbling. His characters, including the secondaries, are amazing. The primaries are incredible, but it is almost more moving thinking about the others.<br/>If you read this book, you will cry. The sadness takes a back seat only because of the wonder of being able to put yourself in the position of the characters. There was a point I was reduced to sobbing only thinking of what it would be like to be Hazel's mother.<br/>Just amazing. I recommend reading in one sitting while by yourself. I am appreciating the sunshine, the taste of food, and just everything a little more now.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2S3S2BFX5JC87?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing Book!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I personally think that this book is amazing! Hazel Grace Lancaster is not your typical teenage girl, she has cancer and has to carry (or wheel) around an oxygen tank to help her breathe. Hazel and Augustus had an amazing friendship and constantly had me thinking about what would happen next. My favorite part was when Hazel was reading a letter from Augustus at the end of the book, this part was so thoughtful of Augustus and their relationship was just amazing. Hazel and Augustus stayed loyal to each other throughout the course of the story. Weather tears or joy and laughter or sadness, there was not a time that I didn't cry while reading this story. This book is very dynamic, and keeps the readers attention on the book at all times. After reading this book, I realized that you just have to live life while you have it because you never known what could happen the next day.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1G5MDMRTIVO04?ASIN=014242417X	Not just for teenagers	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I am a 63 year old grandmother of four, and I don't usually read teen books, but my thirteen year old granddaughter talked about it so much that I decided to see what it was all about.  I actually saw the movie first and THEN I read the book.  I don't usually do that, but in this case I think it was a perfect choice.  The movie was wonderful, but the book had more depth as far as their true feelings were concerned. Having lost parents, in-laws, aunts, uncles and finally my own husband to cancer, I was very moved by this book.  I almost think it is more for adults than teenagers, but I understand the magic of the love story between Hazel and Augustus and how that appeals to the younger generation. That said, I thought the perspective of the actual cancer patients was brilliant.  It puts terminal illness in a whole new perspective and I would recommend this book to all ages.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RWTILTQS51CBM?ASIN=014242417X	Profound Teen Perspective on Living with Terminal Illness	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">First of all this book is beautifully written. The characters are very ""real"" and the<br/>storyline moves quickly and rationally.<br/>I had never considered what dealing with a terminal illness would be like from the<br/>perspective of a young adult/teenager. Death and illness are always tragic, but<br/>how does a sick teenager relate to healthy kids who typically feel they are invincible?<br/>I appreciated being led through a scenario of setbacks, hopes and dreams with limited<br/>yet unknown time frames, and what's futile and what's not. How do sick kids deal with parents<br/>who are sacrificing everything to keep their child alive and as ""normal"" as possible?<br/>This book opened my eyes to struggles I pray I never have to encounter, but awakened<br/>me to the dismal but also potentially joyful realities of others' fights with terminal disease.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RJ433QK2002DI?ASIN=014242417X	hi	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book needs purpose. One star because I got through it. It's so depressing and goes no where with the story.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RCUUGYMM5V9WV?ASIN=014242417X	Bestseller because it's not mainstream	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I think that there are a lot of reasons why this book became a bestseller all over the world. I guess that the biggest reason is that this book isn’t just an ordinary cancer story. This story isn’t just about two teenagers who both have cancer and who fall in love, it is so much more than that and very important: it’s not predictable.<br/><br/>I really like the style of writing of John Green a lot. It’s very relaxing to read; it’s really easy to understand everything and to follow the story. This writer uses a lot of beautiful metaphors and quotes in his books and I really appreciate that. In my opinion, this makes the book The Fault in our Stars so much better.<br/><br/>I give this book 4 stars because I really liked this book and I think that everyone should read it, but personally I prefer another theme, like for example the theme from his book Looking for Alaska.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R21B3KUT7JXZEM?ASIN=014242417X	A Witty, Refreshing Take on Life!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Love this book! The plot isn't particularly unexpected, but the writting is witty, cunning, and entertaining from the first word to the last. There are plenty of laughs to be had, and quick quips are in no short supply.<br/><br/>  The true wonder of this book is not necessarily in the plot or in the characters, though they are both well-done, but in the writing itself. The best way I can put it is to say that it's a tragic, romantic story that is NOT depressing and is NOT sappy. It's refreshingly real and leaves you with a lingering, guilt-free, life-must-go-on-being-appreciated feeling.<br/><br/>  All-in-all, a definite must read for all ages!<br/><br/>P.S. If you're a screening parent, YES there are intimate moments, including one sex scene. There are no explicit details in the scene, and it is described in causal terms such as ""having condomy problems.""</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R4BVZZ1R0ERKY?ASIN=014242417X	Loved it!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I would read this book a million more times if I could ! The Fault in our Stars by John Green is an astonishing book about true love and the obstacles faced when living with an un curable illness. The main characters are Hazel Grace Lancaster and Augustus Waters. The authors ability to characterize is great. You really understand the characters personality and you start to fall in love with them. John Green is able to build tension and interest. The love story is just so amazing that you just want to keep reading. Also the author suprises you with the turning point of the story. There are so many details that you can actually visualize everything and live in the moment with the characters. I would definitely recommend this book to everyone. So, if you want to read the love story of Hazel and Augustus and find out how their relationship ends read The Fault in our Stars.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RVCK0NJ99B4XB?ASIN=014242417X	Disappointed!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I love a good YA romance especially one with star crossed lovers. The book was fast paced from the time I started reading it I did not want to put it down. And much to my family's dismay I did not put the Kindle down for 24 hours. I even forgave the author for the horrible names he gave his characters. They were all way too ""romanticesque"". My two star review however is based on the fact I hated the ending. I feel as if I need to write John Green a letter and say, ""end your book"". We were set up in the beginning as soon as Hazel starts explaining why she is obsessed with An Imperial Affliction. It was pre-determined how it would end. And yet I kept reading. And then it ended. It just ended. There was no closure. I understand that death does not always bring about closure but this is a book. A book with no sequel. A book that I will now have to imagine my own ending to.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R20TNDJ0JBOUB8?ASIN=014242417X	Read This Book!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">With a good writer, I can usually find two or three passages in a novel that make me stop and think. John Green accomplishes with ""The Fault in Our Stars"" something which seems inhumanly possible - he supplies jaw-dropping thought, dialogue, narrative, and observation on every other page. For a writer to hold ""The Fault in Our Stars"" as an example of what we strive to achieve is to reach for the stars in our own work. Green stares down the ugly reality of living with terminal Cancer - both from the perspective of those who have it and those who must live with those who do with forthright honesty. This novel is nothing less than a handbook for looking at the meaning of life and how to distill the worthless part of our lives from the important ones. How many times do we see the words ""must read"" associated with a novel? This one takes first prize.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RH3ZX1K049MDM?ASIN=014242417X	ALL HAIL JOHN GREEN.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">OK SO. I wonder if anyone will actually read this but I know I should hate John Green for killing Augustus off. And for existantially making me cry and crushing my soul. But I'm not. I'm really not. Which is a beyond pleasant surprise. And this entire book in itself, is a pleasant surprise. I love the wittiness. And I love how the words make me think. Instead of just flying through this book feeling, I don't know, feeling all the sorts of things you're supposed to feel when reading a tragic love story of the type, I actually read. I really and truly read it. It made me think about each and every word and phrase. And it made me feel in ways you weren't supposed to because God knows no one can tell you what to feel. So yea. That's my review. And if you read this great. I probably sound incredibly deranged but that's what happens when you finish a John Green book at 5 AM.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RL1L4KC87XTQB?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in Our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Hazel is a sixteen-year-old girl with terminal cancer who has become depressed and largely cut herself off from life, that is until she meets Augustus, a seventeen-year-old boy who’s lost his leg to cancer and meets her at a support group for teens with cancer. Now this sounds like a really depressing read from the description, and I had put off reading it for some time for that very reason, but I finally tackled it, and though there are inevitably some sad parts, the overall feelings I got from the book is strength, hope and taking full advantage of the present. Hazel and Augustus, despite their medical problems/diagnoses, have a very normal teenage courtship, and even with all the heavy issues they are dealing with, I think that really comes through. Both Hazel and Augustus were such fun, quirky characters, you can’t help but get wrapped up in the story. Great read!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1WVBC2R699ELL?ASIN=014242417X	True To Life	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I can barely describe all the angles from which I loved this book. As an avid reader of young adult books, as a writer of young adult fiction, and perhaps most personal, as the mother of a young cancer patient.<br/><br/>From the very first page, this book described things that were so insightful and pertinent that I was sure John Green must have been a survivor.  Cancer Perks, the one true wish, the hatred of being singled out and stared at, experimental treatments, relapse, hospice, funerals with tiny coffins, broken and resilient and financially devastated parents ... those things, plus many more, are all really part of this lifestyle, and many of us meet in real or virtual support groups.<br/><br/>I avoided the book for a long time because I want ready. When I finally reached that point, I didn't regret it at all.<br/><br/>Green absolutely did not disappoint.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1YE7MT5SS8Y5A?ASIN=014242417X	Beautiful	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is beautifully written. The writing is eloquent apart from the profanities. I love the allusions to classic literature and poetry. The characters are very well developed and I felt that the characters were very similar to me and my best friend. The ending doesn't leave you mourning or sad; it has closure. It is complete. John Greene writes and develops ideas about life and what a real hero is. Honestly, I can't wait to got back through this book and analyze it. There are so many ideas that lie within his literary devices. I know I already said it was beautiful, but that's the best word to describe it. It is all around beautiful. I recommend that everyone read this, but in order to Really enjoy and take in the meaning, you have to have an appreciation for classic literature. On there surface level there is much to be had, but underneath there is so much more.</span>"

For I have one had a brain tumor which is a kind of cancer but I did live through I don't know how or why but then I got this book and read it and it's opened up a new world for me. while reading this when Gus had told Hazel he was dying I my self just found out one of my best friend was on life support from a brain tumor and she yet died that day also and she was reading this brook too and was in the middle of it when she had passed she actually read this book many times for it helped her get by. My brothers son died from leukemia a year ago. so this book helps me in many ways it is now and forever my favorite book and I'm sure I will be reading in many more times. I also love the movie. I've only seen the movie once but I am going to buy it and watch it over and over again I know it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2LR0EACY1QAX3?ASIN=014242417X	interesting book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">i bought this for two reasons: 1) a friend recommended it to me for my daughter (16) and me to read and 2) i had a gift card, so I thought 'what the hell'. I had no interest in it before that recommendation (movie didn't even interest me). it captured my attention immediately, but was not one of  those books that I just couldn't put down. I ended up taking several days to read it, and I am a voracious reader, in which I can devour a 500+ page book in less than a day. not to say the book wasn't good, because I think it was very well written and the humor scattered throughout the book definitely helped. although i have not encountered teenagers with the level of intellect and wit Hazel and Augustus show, it was not so over the top to make them seem like they couldn't be real teenagers. the book gave me a new perspective to think about in regards to life and cancer.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/ROC2UBTFF0CVD?ASIN=014242417X	My FAVORITE BOOK OF ALL TIME!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I don't have a single negative thing to say about this. It blew me away. Rarely ever is a person so profoundly affected by a book. I am the same age as Hazel in the novel and connected with her in an instant. I just LOVED this book. Seriously, it was fantastic.<br/><br/>Its a novel that I have become quite possessive of. Its the kind of book that never truly leaves you and it doesn't really change yo u because it becomes a part of you.<br/><br/>Even after you finish the book, it will remain imprinted on your brain. It is comical, dramatic, romantic, a tad cynical and sarcastic in a refreshing way. I love to read, its literally all I do and this book is by far my favorite. It beat the classic Pride and Prejudice, it was a breath of fresh air in the Young Adult genre. Excellent, brilliant, fantastic. Don't hesitate to buy it (I have it on Kindle and hardcover).</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2BA57DZ2XG13T?ASIN=014242417X	Fantastic!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">As a sixty-four year old  woman and cancer survivor, I really didn't think I wanted to read a ""youth market"" book about a 16 year-old girl who is herself dying of cancer and how she falls in love with a 17 year-old boy in her support group.  No. Way.  But for some reason or ""whatever"", as she would say, when a friend of mine - also in my age group - said she had loved the book, I thought I would try it. Well, I couldn't get my nose out of it.  Loved the characters.  Loved the voice of the young girl, Hazel. Not a maudlin voice at all.  Hazel is ferociously honest and clear-eyed, bright and quirky.  She reminded me of myself at that age in her idealism, and I felt an instant kinship with her -- and not because of the cancer.  I'd like to think I was half as bright and vibrant as Hazel.  Thoroughly loved this book and highly recommend it to anyone.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R34UABC8N40GS9?ASIN=014242417X	This is one of the best books that I've read in a long time	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is one of the best books that I've read in a long time. It is the story, of two teens, Hazel Grace Lancaster and Augustus (Gus) Waters who meet at a cancer support group meeting,and fall in love even though they are facing death. The story is narrated by Hazel Grace with beautiful insights into the thoughts of these young people about their lives, the people around them (their parents), the world and death. John Green truly captures the emotion, the joy and pain of their world and how they deal with these issues. The story leaves the reader with many thoughts to contemplate. I highly recommend this read. The movie is also very good and stays very true to the book.<br/><br/>The title is from Shakespeare's, Julius Caesar (I, ii, 140-141)<br/>Cassius:<br/>""The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars,<br/>But in ourselves, that we are underlings.""</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2MXB1UAW9908D?ASIN=014242417X	Meh...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">It's just that: OK. John Green sucks tremendously at creating characters. As others have noted, he is unable to give them individual personalities. They all talk the same way. They use the same phrases. They're all witty, sarcastic, dry-humored. They're all John Green under various pseudonymns, and that, my friends, is one of the hallmarks of Bad Writing. There are no teenagers on planet earth who speak the way Hazel and Gus speak. Green also stinks rather badly at trying to write as a teenage girl. The whole lack of believable character development leaves you not really caring one way or another who lives or dies in this story. I didn't cry at any point in the story. This is not a book I'd recommend nor one that I will read again. It only gets three stars for being a mediocre, unrealistic, teen love story (which is what most people want in a teen love story).</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1GI4GMB9VO9QZ?ASIN=014242417X	A Plot-Driven Book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I had to read this book for a YA Literature class and I'll have to say it was not one of my favorites. First things first: this is a plot-driven book. If you are a fan of character-led stories (books with memorable characters you'll remember for years to come), do not read it. Due to the poor character development, I never felt like I really knew the characters and therefore, I could not take the love story seriously. If not for the fast-moving plot, the cranky author character, or the fact that I had to read this for class, I'm not sure if I would have finished it. That said, if you are into fluffy love stories with a bit of awkward, unusual, and tragedy, pick it up, but if you are aspiring for a impacting love story with characters you'll remember forever, leave it on the shelf. It was written in a fun way, but even good writing cannot save flat characters.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This was an incredible book that I may have never read had it not been for the movie. I'm into details so I love how books go into further detail than the movie versions. I love the romance, and hate Cancer but I would highly recommend this book because it makes one realize that everyone deserves to have that once in a lifetime kind of true love, whether or not they have a ""hamartia"" (a fatal flaw or something that would normally be considered a dealbreaker in the dating world). It also makes you appreciate your life that much more, and helps teach the lesson to not judge a book by the cover (Ex- if one is an alcoholic or recluse- what are the underlying reasons?) I personally cried more happy tears than sad ones. As is taught in the book ""The universe is not a wish granting factory."" We must truly appreciate what and who we have in our lives.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RKPY6EH46WY12?ASIN=014242417X	Worth the Tears	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is an extremely easy read; the conversational tone and instantly-loveable characters compel readers through chapter after chapter with little need to hesitate. You connect to Hazel immediately and fall in love with Augustus from the moment Hazel spots him in group.<br/><br/>My initial reaction after crying five different times and then the entire last seven or so chapters of this book was to both love it and hate it at the same time. It offers such an honest portrayal of life - something so many of us take for granted. It's a beautiful, innocent love story of two who have nothing to lose, which makes the rawness and realness of their relationship and interaction all the more poignant.<br/><br/>The writing style is fun and smart, witty and wise, and the story, while heartbreakingly real, leaves you satisfied, despite the finality of impending death.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2C8IRI4E8YMOL?ASIN=014242417X	Loved the Story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">In the novel The Fault in Our Stars, John Green writes a heartfelt love story about two teenagers who are facing a life with incurable cancer.  Hazel and Gus meet and are connected in a special way. Only people that know death is in their near can understand what they feel. They face their destiny together, and we see their raw emotions through this story.  They struggle with how they want to be remembered and living a painful life gracefully, and with humor.<br/><br/>The twisting of events in this story are more heartbreaking than you expect. You feel yourself thinking of a possible fairytale ending.  Unfortunately life is not always what we hope it to be.  We see in this story how important it is to make the most of the time you have.  I really enjoyed reading The Fault in Our Stars.  As sad as it was the true love they showed each other, gave you hope.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RDVUK3YK7UTFG?ASIN=014242417X	Phenomenal in every way.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is probably one of my most favorite books of all time for multiple reasons. For starters, it's written by one of my all-time favorite writers, the mastermind, John Green. John Green not only successfully writes from the perspective of a 16 year-old girl going through cancer treatments, but he also writes with such beauty and such charisma that you can't help but fall in love with every word of this book. Despite the serious matter written in this book, John Green still adds an element of humor and lightness to the writing. I also found myself dying a little inside through how cute this book was, and equally heartbreaking. In short, I laughed, I fell in love, I cried, and this book sparked just the right emotion. After reading this book 3 times, it is safe to say that one could sum up ""The Fault in Our Stars"" in one word: perfection. Okay? Okay.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RAORS9K6JHZUN?ASIN=014242417X	This book is just EVERYTHING.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read a lot and have never taken the time to actually write a review on Amazon. I have read this book three times since I bought it and I will never be able to quite put into words how much I love it and what it means to me. I will start off by saying, I am not a young adult and don't usually read YA novels, but I kept hearing about this book and since I love to read, I figured it was worth a shot. Let me just say, I was absolutely blown away. The depth of the characters and the story are just incredible. John Green has a way of putting things into words that I could have never imagined - everything is just so beautifully written and just makes you feel so much. I could not stop talking about this book after I read it and still cannot. I laughed, I cried, it just always sits with me in the back of my mind. Please read it - I promise you will not regret it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1QFEM02UYKLNF?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in Our Stars is an AMAZING book. The story is overflowing with sadness	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars is an AMAZING book. The story is overflowing with sadness, joy, and also conflict. The main character, Hazel Grace Lancaster, meets Augustus Waters in a cancer support group Hazel's mom makes her go to. Augustus went to support his friend Issac who has eye cancer and only one eye. Hazel has a type of cancer in her lungs and has to have oxygen flowing throughout her lungs. Augustus has had his leg amputated by cause of the cancer. Following Hazel and Gus becoming extremely close things take a turn for worse. This all takes place in Indianapolis, Indiana. The exceptional story, written by John Green, left me happy and sad all at the same time. I could deeply relate to many parts in this book, I have felt great love for someone the same way Hazel and Augustus had with each other. My overall opinion was amazing and just a wonderful book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R24YR7ZH5OWT22?ASIN=014242417X	Epic Tear Jerker	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Now I get what all the hype is about!  This truly is a wonderful, well written book but be prepared to cry through every step of it.  I only mention this because sometimes a tear jerker is just what you need and, often, it isn't what you want at all.  You really have to be in the mood for it to handle it.  I read the book in about two days once I started because I couldn't put it down.  I basically didn't sleep for one entire night trying to finish it and due to the constant crying that I experienced!  The book is raw and real and deeply moving.  It basically is about young life being cut short due to cancer and the roller coaster ride of those emotions.  I mostly read the book because I kept hearing about it and wanted to read it before I saw the movie.  Now I am NOT planning to see the movie because I don't think I can handle that volume of crying twice!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2EV3BG2JH9SEV?ASIN=014242417X	Best Book Ever!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was by far, the best book that I have ever read. Hazel and Augustus have the best love story I have ever seen. I have read this book over 12 times, and it gets better every time. I would say that you should be at least 12-13 before reading this book, because of the sexual content. But because it is very mild content, I think that it is appropriate for middle school children and older.<br/><br/>I would recommend this book to girls and boys, but more towards girls because of the romance element. My dad read this book and he said that he really enjoyed it, but that it was hard to read as a parent.<br/><br/>Overall,I loved this book better than any other book I've ever read, and I've read a lot of books. I think that teens would love this book, and as it says in the book, the world will not be whole again until all living humans read the book. :)</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2P9HCYQXSW5W9?ASIN=014242417X	Fulfilling	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Even with the dark subject matter, Green's use of dialect, humor and innuendos of human nature's ""good side"", left me with a feeling of fulfillment. I definitely did not expect to experience such peaceful feelings by the end of this book.<br/><br/>Be prepared for an emotional story, but it's also a beautiful one. Two descriptions that don't always go hand-in-hand in literature. I had a full sense of serenity closure upon finishing the book.<br/><br/>The book is written as narrated by the main character, but each character plays its own unique role, truly providing even more life to the story.<br/><br/>It's a book you can really get lost in, and never want to put down. I honestly think I finished this book faster than any other I've ever read.<br/><br/>Because it's such an addictive read and subject matter, it is perfect for a book club.  Lots of things that can be discussed!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RDIZ8XF5V7HSJ?ASIN=014242417X	Excellent Book! A MUST read!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">When I first heard about the book from  a friend I was a little bit skeptical about it, because of the book ""A walk to remember"" which seemed similar by content.<br/><br/>Once I got the book and red it i absolutely touched my heart! If you have a family history with cancer (I do have ) you will understand how reading about somebody going through all the hell that this sickness causes to a person is absolutely devastating, then you that the sick person is actually a teenage girl so that made the book completely an emotional ride for me.<br/><br/>However John Green has managed to make the story absolutely lovely focusing on so much positive energy around this. The thought that even if you have a short life it can be a full life is touching.<br/><br/>The book is written very well and it's a must read! If you have the chance order it and read it ASAP!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R32FV3S8XYOIHJ?ASIN=014242417X	Another Solid Contribution	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">There may be a tendency to call this novel or it's forthcoming movie a ""chick flick,"" but John Green makes it more than that.<br/><br/>Witty and real, his characters transcend intellectually to a level most of us wish to think at. In doing so, he is able to call into question different facets of life which can lead to great discussions as we all try to look deeper at the world around us.<br/><br/>While focusing on a female character this time, the main male character remains strong and anything but periphery.<br/><br/>Finally, in John Green fashion, you enter a story thinking you will guess it's outcome only to see it take a couple twists and turns around the way leading you to destination you didn't expect.<br/><br/>This is a great summer read for anyone looking to fall in love with and care about two people they may never actually get to meet.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R34JN7GK2TEEJ1?ASIN=014242417X	Sassy, Sweet, Sexy and Sad	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">My cancer is in remission, however, as with all other cancer 'survivors', we live as if the sword of Damocles is over our heads ready to drop.  What I loved about this book was the irreverence and courage of both protagonists  to look the big C in its face, and say ""you are NOT going to define me or live my life'.  The story has been described many times about Hazel and Gus meeting in a Cancer Support group and falling in sweet love.  I want to also mention the other characters in the book who make the book so noteworthy. The friend who loses his eyesight to cancer, both Hazel and Gus's parents as well as the nerdy author who wrote 'An Imperial Affliction'.  But what, I feel, makes the book so noteworthy is the wonderful sassy, heart rending at times, dialogue between Hazel and Gus.  They are truly memorable....just read the book, you will love it!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2KR118JOXP0W4?ASIN=014242417X	A Love Story Like No Other	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">So this is supposed to be a YA novel. Yet, I am 63 and found it one of the most enjoyable books I've read this year. I love the characters, especially the exchanges between Augustus and Hazel. I read fiction to escape the boring, mundane conversations of everyday life and John Green delivers in gold stars here.  Having a sister, who died of cancer a few years ago, I appreciate the down to earth approach to cancer patients and their desire to be defined by more than having cancer. The relationship between Hazel's parents towards her is admirable, funny and endearing. I couldn't imagine a better book to advise to any young adult who has cancer.  It is a book which provides courage in the face of suffering and the belief that dreams do come through. Well done, Mr. Green. I look forward to reading more of your books. <a class=""a-link-normal"" href=""/Mourning-Has-Broken/dp/1461029279"">Mourning Has Broken</a></span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R17SFH1ASK9PQE?ASIN=014242417X	Best. Book. Ever.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Many people choose five stars to be generous, but I tell you that is not the reason. In fact, only five stars is an injustice for this book. It deserves more stars than I could fit in the book. I may not be doing great at this review, but that is because 'My thoughts are stars I can't fathom into constellations'. A timeless romance tale of 2 people who fall in love under extreme circumstances. Each has a form of cancer. They have fun, but they also experience great pain. (One more than the other) Hazel Grace Lancaster and Augustus Waters are the most romantic, triumphant, people ever. This book breaks your heart not by wearing it down, but by filling it until it explodes. If you hate the book than you are heartless and cruel. They may seem unrealistic and aging too fast, but you are forced to grow up fast when diseased. I hope everyone reads the book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RD9F22SBAQXMM?ASIN=014242417X	Opposite	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">So here is how I stared reading this book. One day, I was sitting in a chair in language arts class, then some girs came in and started saying that the fault in our stars is awsome. So I started thinking. How many times have I heard that today? An I replied to myself, enough to make me be able to make a song out of the title. An that day, I went home and bought this book. I had high expectations for this book. I couldn't help myself in stop being over excited to read this book. So I started as soon as the book arrived. But after reading a few pages, I realized that this book wasn't my type. It was sappy and quite inappropiate. I couldnot believe that I devoted 3 hours of my life to read this book. I won't spoil the book, but I want to say that thiz book is the exact opposite of what is happening in the beginng. So yeah. That is all I want to say. Bye.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3HSR54M1TGYV4?ASIN=014242417X	Incredible book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is one of the most heartfelt books I have read. It really makes you think how lucky you are to not be living with a disease so terrible. I love how well John Green developed the characters in this book. I felt like you could really feel what the characters were feeling in this book. A long with that, the movie was incredible and it was just as good as the book. I would only recommend this book to readers who can take such a heavy subject. It is a very mature book. Although I enjoyed this book, some parts are a bit unrealistic. The language is not the way a seventeen year old boy would talk. They talk VERY mature and to be realistic most people don't speak like Augustus does. (Augustus is the boy in the book)<br/>Long story short, I would highly recommend this book because of the great characters, fantastic writing, and the incredible plot.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1QYXUXGUK8F27?ASIN=014242417X	Read this book it is totally worth it	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is absolutely fantastic and one of the best I've ever read (I read like  obsessively, trust me)<br/>I am the kind of person who doesn't cry much during books.<br/>But I have to say, The Fault In Our Stars is a must-read that I was unable to take my eyes off of until 1:48 in the morning. I could relate to Hazel, Augustus, and Mr. I Always Forget His Name. I was crying from about mid-way through to the end of it, stopping ok once because I had to brush my teeth. I am going to be so tired tomorrow (Thanksgiving) but this book was worth it. And now let me go off on a tangent about how awesome Augustus is: ack he's just so witty and everything and clever and charismatic and I don't even know what that means don't judge me I'm only 12 but charismatic sounds good so I'll use it to describe him. Ack I need to go cry now because just ack just ack</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RBYB4ID632TQC?ASIN=014242417X	Dear John Green	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Observation: to summarize this novel would be to compact it in a way that will inevitably deny its complexity and honesty. It is one of the greatest works of fiction I have read in a long time; I usually go for classic literature or go full-on tween if I want to shut my brain off for a while (no offense intended). As a teenager, I faced not death, but debilitating illness, and I felt very much connected to Hazel throughout the story. Trying to live while you still have an indeterminant amount of time, trying to minimize the collateral damage, feeling responsible for your parents (the part where Hazel finds out/reacts to what is on her Mom's laptop had me at full waterworks status).  I made the mistake of reading the last two thirds on a plane, and received many odd glances as the many tears fell.<br/>Brilliant and insightful- thank you, Mr. Green.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1H6ZHOP4R5SA1?ASIN=014242417X	Such emotion. Very cry. Many sadness.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">As an avid reader of good literature, reading The Fault In Our Stars just opened me up to more pain then I ever had hoped to endure. Our lives are short and somewhat vacant of true meaning, but when a book can open your eyes to what true pain can be, your life suddenly becomes more valuable than you realized. I don't cry very often, nor do I appreciate crying because of a book; but this particular book made my heart fall down to my ass and shatter into a billion pieces. As a sixteen year old girl, this probably sounds awfully cliche; I implore you, people who look for quality books of emotion, to read this book. If you can finish it with no emotion, you are one of two people: devoid of any emotion at all, or just plain mad. This was well-written in the p.o.v. of a teenager, and teaches us a lesson. I do hope you enjoy/ed the book as much as I have.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1QDADXITZ7GB6?ASIN=014242417X	AIA	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">When I started reading this book I started out reading the sample unknowingly, eventually when I got to the end of the sample, the story just got juicy, it ended.<br/>I was like oh no he didn't just pull an AIA on me, brilliant I am going to give him 5 stars but I am going to curse him out.<br/>It takes a special skill to write about something so dark and yet still be funny.<br/>This book pulled all my emotional bones, I LOL literally, I cried real tears, they sipped into my pillow.<br/>I found out I have read some books mentioned, I patted myself on the back.<br/>I even had the audacity to search for AIA to buy it.<br/>I don't know if this was the right book for me to read right now since I just experienced a devastating loss through death.<br/>I never got the answer to life I was looking for which is why death?<br/>All in all great read.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R4UAQ2MWKV01Y?ASIN=014242417X	Faultless	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Honestly, I read this in a day. I FELL IN LOVE. I fell in love with the characters, I fell in love with the way the story was told. I loved the truth hidden behind each sentence of the story. I can't connect to anything they talked about, yet I still can. The story you told, John Green, not only taught me many lessons, made me she'd tears, laugh hysterically, and want to rip your head off, but it also taught me not to pity people who are different from me. People who are like Gus, who is missing a body part. People like Isaac, who are blind. People like Van Houten (spell.?)who lost a child. I don't pity them. They're normal. They're human too, not some deranged species that needs to be poked and prodded. Thank you. This book has made me realize more than I care to admit and I love you for it. Keep the books coming, at the moment you're my hero. &lt;3</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R15LP0YIOSSQTV?ASIN=014242417X	Almost 5 Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I started by reading a sample and the next thing I know I'm immersed in this story and barely come up for air. Overall, I'm a sucker for good writing and smart conversation. Throw a winning storyline in there...and I'm sold.<br/><br/>I had a few minor issues that prevented me from issuing  5 star status.  Hazel Grace and Augustus are way too wise for their young years (which I loved), and while I mostly enjoyed the banter, the forced use of the teenage filler ""like"" ruined it for me in several scenes. I enjoyed the supporting cast (except for Kaitlyn).  She was a throw-away filler character for me. Finally, I understand why the book ends the way it does, but I wanted more closure!! Frustrating!!<br/><br/>Overall, a quick paced, thought-provoking honest journey of love and terminal illness through the eyes of some wise teenagers. Worth reading.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/REGJZDFSIN95H?ASIN=014242417X	Still sinking in	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">it took me 4days to read this book, which for me is an eternity. initially it took me a while to get caught up in the story. the characters were overly thoughtful and deep, which although unrealistic, was thought provoking. once I made it half way through the book I got sucked in and finished it within a couple hours. if you have ever experienced a death where you slowly watch the person you love disappear you will feel it again as you read this. it's sad, but beautiful. I used to shy away from sad books thinking they only reminded me of reality and who wants that when you can laugh or read a feel-good happy-ever-after? but I've come to appreciate stories that remind me to live, challenging myself and love more fully. this book has great quotes, beautiful love and raw emotion. maybe it predictable, but it's still beautiful. four stars from me.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3PICUKOSVBEX9?ASIN=014242417X	An unexpected gem	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read this late last year, before I heard about the forth-coming movie.  I had taken a course in writing young adult literature and the instructor strongly recommended John Green's books.  I was unfamiliar with the author but decided to give him a try.  I almost wish that I hadn't chosen this book of his first.  The first part of the book is fairly light - it has some heavy overtones, but still is a pleasant light read.  The last third of the book left me an emotional wreck.  It was rough to read,but I couldn't put it down.  It has been a long time since I stayed up reading, until the book was finished.  It really made an impression on me.  But after reading this I couldn't bring myself to read anything else by John Green right away - as I wasn't ready to read anything this intense again.  It is one of those books that really sticks with you.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R32U62L13DOBBH?ASIN=014242417X	Surprisingly Wonderful	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">When I picked up this novel, I really did not know what to expect. If you are looking for a typical young adult novel, with a happily -ever-after kind of ending, then you better keep looking cause you won't get that with this book. From the first chapter, I knew this was going to be a good book; a book that was realistic and raw... That is exactly what I got. This is a book that says ""Hey, life sucks sometimes. Bad things DO happen to good people for no reason. Life is NOT always filled with joy and happiness.<br/><br/>Life is NOT a wish granting factory.""<br/><br/>While I do like my fair share of fantasy novels, this book was a nice breath of fresh air. It made me cry, made me laugh, made me mourn, and it even surprised me with the ending. I did not expect it!<br/><br/>I plan on rereading this gem. It was absolutely wonderful.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is indeed about 2 kids with cancer but does not stop as a tearjerker tale,  John Green explores how the kids know &amp; live their stalled captured cocooned lives, how we as a community do not adequately meet their psychosocial &amp; emotional needs as we tighten the protective cocoon (of the sick &amp; also our own self).  Most of the time we have no idea what are the needs of someone living with a terminal body/mind/emotional/soul/social destroying disease.  I am extremely impressed by the insight given &amp; now gained through the pages of this story.  I said to our 6 year old who had major surgery with months of painful rehab 'you are so brave' He replied 'I'm not brave, I don't want to be here, I just have to do it', Thank you John Green I've seen some &amp; now learned so very much more through your insight.  A wonderful thought provoking read</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3YGI2N4EZ2V9?ASIN=014242417X	Couldn't do it	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I see that apparently everyone loved this book and I thought that I would too, but I had to put it down after a few chapters. The writing was fine and the subject matter was provocative; I'm sure the entire thing is very moving and the forthcoming movie will be quite popular. I just couldn't deal with the protagonists - the inner and outer dialogue was way too quippy and clever for teenagers. I felt like I was reading a sitcom script, like there was a laughtrack lurking behind the page, or a Modern Family mockumentary camera that the main character kept looking into with meaningful glances. I can't speak for the overall book as I did not finish it, but I was distracted from the novel's intended themes (life/love/death/grief) by my own perception that Green's writing is illustrative of the increasing culture of performance in society today.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R28P6HHVCKTQF3?ASIN=014242417X	Surpisingly good read.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">It seems like lately I've been reading a lot of books that I've enjoyed more than I was expecting. I'm not generally into YA books anymore unless they have some kind of fantasy/sci-fi element, so I was surprised by how enjoyable this book was.<br/><br/>I definitely teared up a bit [mostly at the fake funeral], but overall I thought it was actually pretty funny. The voice in this was just very beautiful and sarcastic and humorous and I just couldn't put the book down. I didn't know much about this book other than it was a romance, and the main girl had cancer, so I was actually surprised by several events in the book.<br/><br/>Super quick read and not exactly high level reading, but definitely an enjoyable few hours. I'll for sure be checking out some of John Green's other books in hopes that his voice is as wonderful in those as well.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R34SFLCK32R91Z?ASIN=014242417X	Loved this book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I'm way past the age of a young adult, but I really enjoyed this book!  The characters' dialog is very entertaining even when addressing the big picture question of ""how do I want to be remembered when I'm gone.""  Everyone is calling the book a tear jerker, and there's no doubt the subject matter is sad and may bring a tear, but I found the way these young people handled their grief was uplifting which kept me from getting really teary eyed.  I certainly knew how the book was going to end becausen of all the hoopla about the movie, but that didn't spoil my enjoyment of the story.<br/><br/>I wish I had bookmarked my favorite passages while reading the Kindle book.  I think it is easier to flip back through the pages of a physical book to find those pages than an e-book. I may spring for the paper book edition to keep on my shelf.</span>"

This book is a brilliant and beautiful piece of fiction that will now be tacked onto my list of favorite books. Others will simply glom onto it because it is being made into a movie but they will fall in love with Hazel and Augustus. I write this in the effervescent afterglow of reading this book, wondering what to do now that it's over. I am crying, I cried. I love this book I will recommend it to everyone. Thank you John Green for not writing another YA travesty hell bent on dumbing down our already dumb society. I really love this book. Read it.</span>"

I missed the first meeting so I guess I got what I deserved.<br/><br/>As a teen I would probably have enjoyed this book. As an adult it just was too superficial and a repeat of stories already done. What was a bit different was that the male author wrote this in the voice of a teenage girl. Weak writing but good enough for the average teenager. Sappy at the right points. After the success of the handkerchief tales of Nicolas Sparks who can blame Green for jumping into the fray. Sorry but I will have to jump off this crazy ride.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R10ZQZ76CNFODT?ASIN=014242417X	... Our Stars is such a popular book that I'm pretty sure no one will need to read this review ...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars is such a popular book that I'm pretty sure no one will need to read this review or even think about whether or not they wanna buy this book. But I'll write this review anyways.<br/><br/>TFIOS was the first book John Green book I've read, and it didn't make me cry like I was expecting. However, I liked this book because the tone, writing, and voice of the characters were unique. The other books I've read were quite cliché. For example, the typical teenage dystopian series with an angry heroine. Romance novels. And the novels about popularity or bullying and etc Sure, they have a good message, but the tone is usually extremely colloquial and annoying. Okay I'm getting on a tangent. Okay.<br/><br/>The characters' voices were unique because they were sarcastically hilarious, cynical, and beautifully enlightening.</span>"
1.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R375IWFSYD58GM?ASIN=014242417X	"""Love is keeping the promise"""	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Absolutely enjoyed every moment of this book, the small triumphs of Hazel and Gus and the insurmountable lows which left me questioning the great capital S Something. This will long be a story I carry with me despite the fact that I originally avoided this book because I assumed it would be a cliche cancer book full of ""encouragements,"" and noble characters too perfect to resent their illness. The Fault in Our Stars is, in actuality, quite the opposite. It is a wonderfully human book with characters who are relatable and often had reactions similar to what I believe I would have if in the same position. Who out there has not ""fake prayed"" at least once in their life? Delightfully insightful and humorous at just the right moments to remind you of the overall message of the book. This story is one that demands to be felt.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1K79LI430SHDE?ASIN=014242417X	An amazing book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I finished this book at 1am - sobbing quietly to myself so as not to wake anyone. I had started it about twelve hours earlier. By way of backstory, I should mention that I have been actively avoiding reading The Fault in Our Stars - some might say refusing  to read this book. To put it bluntly I did not want to read a book about teenagers with cancer, ever. But once I started, I couldn't stop.<br/><br/>This is a very beautiful, funny and sad book. The characters are smart and well read and passionate and quirky. They are so honest and real that about halfway through reading I started to stress about the actors who had been cast in the movie version, because, quite frankly, these are characters you do not want to get wrong.<br/><br/>Put aside your preconceptions; this is one you have to just take on trust.<br/><br/>Read this book.</span>"

I watched the movie first.. and everyone advised that I had to read the book too.  While there are a few scenes that were different from the movie.. I'd have to say.. mostly it was spot on!  Absolutely enjoyed and savored every word!  This book.. quite honestly should be put up for all sorts of awards.  Superbly written and easy to read!<br/><br/>If you have ever tried to understand what cancer patients go through.. and as cancer strikes at least one in four Americans.. this book is a must read.<br/><br/>But, more importantly.. this book is about two young lovers.. making the most of the time they are ALIVE!  My favorite scene is when they go out and egg the blind young man's old girlfriend's car! That scene was AWESOME!</span>"

The book just ends but I think that is the point. Just like her favorite book in the story itself it just ends.  It was great that my son and I were actually able to discuss a book together. I have read Looking for Alaska by this same author and I told my son he needed to read that book too. He said no book will ever meet his expectations after reading this book. Overall I loved this book and I do plan on going back and rereading it at some point.</span>"

Plus with the movie coming out I thought I would give it a shot. It's fantastic and sad and well-written but if I am honest I felt that the characterization of the teenagers was too sophisticated. Maybe I read this at the wrong time after a buch of other YA books with smart and sassy 16-18 year-olds. I have found myself thinking ""where are all the books about smart-sassy take on the world 20-year olds?"".  I couldn't help but think that Hazel and the rest came off sounding very mature, very self-actualized and very knowledgable about random pop culture references. It rang false at times. I'm not saying teenagers like this don't exist just that I the ones in this book didn't feel real to me. But it is a fantastic book and well worth the read.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3AIWR663GN77R?ASIN=014242417X	No fault in these stars!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I cried at the end, like everyone else. It was a very good read, though just slightly slow at times (very slight, not a big deal). The only reason I gave it 4/5 stars is because the onlly fault was that I found the diaglogue to be slightly unrealistic at times. Still, I appreciated how intelligent the dialogue was (certainly a step up from the slop dialogue some best sellers have gotten away with) The closer to the end, the better it gets. Beautiful, thought-provoking, well written, poetic and chilling. I enjoyed it. Especially painful if you've lost someone to cancer (I also started to feel slightly paranoid).<br/><br/>I hate my job and read this mostly while at work. It makes you look differently at the things you complain about and/or take for granted. Great novel for all ages. I highly reccommend!<br/><br/>*FAYMOUS REVIEWS*</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R35IU8EVJM24Z5?ASIN=014242417X	Wonderful Book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in our Stars by John Green follows terminal cancer patient Hazel.  When she meets fellow cancer patient Agustus at a cancer support group her whole life changes.  The two develop an instant bond.<br/><br/>This is a great book, while it is sad it's also very uplifting and funny.  I found myself smiling more than I was sad and adored the beauty of these sick teens being able to find love and comfort in each other.  I couldn't put the book down and bawled at the end.<br/><br/>Appropriateness:  There's quite a bit of adult content in this book and it's written for the older teen and adult crossover audience.  There's some sex which isn't too descriptive and the book (obviously) is heartbreaking at times.  I recommend this book for readers 15+ (but would be fine with my middle schooler reading it also if she was up to it).</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1TBTPWIPGOEWG?ASIN=014242417X	My thoughts are stars I cannot fathom into constellations	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I love this book. I'm a very picky reader you see, I don't read books recommended to me. But this one was a winner by far... Yes it's a crier and no you probably can read this in a Starbucks without getting stared at by strangers. But that's the best thing about this book it's your own piece of forever, that you can interpret how ever you like, I won't judge. Some people read what the book is about and say ""Oh it's a cheesy love story about two cancer kids fighting and something happens to one of them"" I say their wrong... Okay maybe not completely wrong but you get it. Just as Hazel Grace said "" I believe we have a choice in this world of how to tell sad stories, you sugar coat it or not then again everything is better with a Peter Gabriel song,I like that story as much as the next girl... It's just not the truth""</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1R065GP5Y9XXG?ASIN=014242417X	The funny story of a 16-year-old dying of cancer...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">So substitute ""witty"" for ""funny,"" and it's a bit more accurate. But the first three quarters of the way through this book was a pure delight of teenage angst and wit. There are great literary references, a bit of a surprise with the revered fictional author, and an honest perspective of a teenage girl that just happens to have an oxygen tank, cancer, and the guilt of not outliving her parents. Sure, the sex between the two teenagers is unbelievable, the ending is completely expected and almost drowns out the wit that came before, but I knew it had to be there. It is, after all, a book about teenagers dying of cancer. It is also completely worth it to read the wit and honesty.<br/>To say this book surprised me is honest. To say the ending disappointed me is true. To say that I like it anyway may still be relevant.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2DTVZ4KXLFGOO?ASIN=014242417X	Quick read, good writing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I can understand why readers like this book.  There's love, illness, family, friends, and so on, and the author does a great job of creating a world.  The writing is engaging.  I chose to give the book 4 stars for two main reasons.  First, I liked Hazel and Augustus, but I was never really invested in them because of the second reason:  I honestly have never heard a 16 year old speak and use the vocabulary these characters used throughout the entire book.  It's amazing that these two kids sound like metaphysical scholars while the rest of the cast, parents and doctors included, sound like just regular folks.<br/>  I haven't read any reviews yet, so I'm not sure if this is a universal thought amongst other readers.  I would recommend the book, but it didn't bring me to tears.  I'd like to see the movie, but I'll wait for Netflix.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2J3HM7EC04X9U?ASIN=014242417X	A good read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I wouldn't go as far as calling it a literary masterpiece. The story was engaging, as were the main characters, Hazel and Augustus. It was an easy read, perfect for summer. I, contrary to others, did not find it to be a tearjerker. I felt for the characters, cared for them, and was invested in their story... but not one single glistening tear formed on their behalf. Perhaps I have a cold, black, tiny heart. Or maybe, I just see this as a beautiful story of life and death. Both are a fact of being a living creatures. Death is an inevitable for everyone, and I wholeheartedly support showing that it is not a thing to be feared, necessarily, but the rite of passage that can also be beautiful, in a sense. Accepting death, as it comes...that it is just as important to make the most of as life itself. That's what I took away from this.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R21DD8YHR4XHNO?ASIN=014242417X	Fabulous read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I must admit I avoided reading this book because I didn’t want to read a cancer story. I had some prejudice as well because I’m not always satisfied when an author writes from the point of view that is opposite of his/her gender and because I knew the author from his YouTube channel so I wasn’t sure if he’s any good at writing.<br/><br/>That’s the first thing that surprised me. I liked his writing style from the first sentence. And I didn’t mind a female’s POV either. Hazel was a strong character and I liked the way she conversed with people and Gus. What I loved the most is the way the writer was portrayed and how he corresponded via e-mail.<br/><br/>Don’t get me wrong, I cried my eyes out reading this book and it still is a cancer story but I was surprised by some twists in this story and overall I loved it. A great book.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2NB7PLLT6ANZG?ASIN=014242417X	Such a beautiful story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I lost my father to cancer, I was also his primary caretaker. I also am a cancer researcher. This took me away from the science and reminded me of why we do what we do, to solve this suffer, provide less invasive treatment options, to create drugs that target only the cancer, not poison the entire body, to tell the patient we aren't postponing their deaths for a couple of months, even weeks, but we are ridding you of this disease and you will grow old with the ones you love. This book also provided me a perspective of th  patient, especially my father who I loved so dearly--what his thoughts of his inevitable mortality were, an idea of his pain. This book was an important read if you have experienced cancer in any form, even to introduce you to the detrimental reality cancer patients, their love one's face. Such a great read!!!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/REAL9566S1T2M?ASIN=014242417X	Just Eh	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This was my first reading of John Green.  I wanted to enjoy this book....not in the way that I would enjoy a special treat, but the way that I enjoyed reading the Hunger Games; although the content was unpleasant, it left me thinking, reeling and desiring to know more.  TFIOS was just unpleasant.  It didn't make me think, it just made me sad.  Really sad.  And that's saying a lot, because typically, I enjoy having a good cry induced by the words on a page.  It is possible, that I am reading this in an oversensitive state, as I have rather recently lost a younger brother after a long struggle.  (Not a struggle with cancer, but whenever young people die, it's devastating, regardless of the cause.)  And for that reason, I will reread the book.  If I feel differently after the second time through, I will edit my review accordingly.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1418LMJYJFROX?ASIN=014242417X	Blugh	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I did not enjoy this book while everyone was raving about this book I found it boring and not interesting</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R13WV00DUQNPOG?ASIN=014242417X	Great read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This was our book club read for September.  I wasn't going to make the meeting so I decided not to read the book.  Something made me change my mind and am I glad I did.  I couldn't put it down.  I think the fact that I recognized so many places (born and raised in Indy) made it even more captivating.  The characters were so real that I was exhausted by the end.  I have fortunately not experienced the child with cancer nightmare nor am I a cancer survivor, but I have been through it with family and friends.  The anger is real.  The feelings are real.  I imagine that the author has experienced some of this personally.  If not, he did one shell of a great job with his research.  What a heartfelt successful and moving verbal visualization of the nightmarish journey through a young girl's fight with cancer.  ""Bravo"" to John Green.</span>"
1.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3LW4ORH45RJOQ?ASIN=014242417X	Honest Portrayal of Characters	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I am not an adolescent by any stretch of the imagination, but I have always had a love of adolescent literature. I hadn't really heard of this book but purchased as an Amazon Bargain for my Kindle. Between purchase and reading it, I began to notice some buzz about it so decided to go ahead and read it. Once started, I couldn't put it down. The portraits of the characters are so strong. It deals honestly with the feelings that surround living a childhood with cancer. It helps us all understand just a little bit more about just wanting to be ""normal"" and seizing what you can out of life. I imagine that I will read it again. Looking forward to the movie . . . which I am sure will not come close to the book. John Green is an author that I will be reading more of. I've already started following him on Tumbler and You Tube.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R239GWC3LLM2YD?ASIN=014242417X	The perfect read...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I started the book and got about half way through before watching the movie. I then finished the book, not knowing f I would be happy with the book. I always love the book and bitch about the movie. The movie was very good it followed the book better than any I have ever seen. But I wasn't sure I would like that the book didn't end in the same way as the movie did.....<br/><br/>I loved the book's ending... even a little better than the movie.<br/><br/>The fault in our stars is a realistic look on dying.. I love the pair of Gus who feels like he needs to be widely remembered and hazel who understands that we get what we have in life and that's it. Gus and hazel make the perfect pair to fall in love.  Their story don't seem Hollywood. Their story is one you can believe.<br/>I would tell anyone that this is a book to read.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2ATKJ79LWEWO6?ASIN=014242417X	Life is not a wish-granting factory	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">News flash – life isn’t fair and cancer is a non-discriminatory bastard that can jump into anyone’s life at any time. The Fault in our Stars is not a “feel good” story. It doesn’t leave you all warm and cozy, but instead sort of numb. That being said, it’s a beautiful story about all the victims of cancer – from the dying, to the survivors to those who are left behind when someone passes away. Green is unapologetically honest about the facets of this disease and how it affects those victims including how unfair cancer can be. In the words of Augustus: “The world is not a wish granting factory.” 5 stars. I would recommend this book to anyone from 13 to 99 who is mature enough to handle the subjects of mortality and first love and isn’t prone to acute bouts depression.

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RU55A3YXHMJTW?ASIN=014242417X	Easy read, but quite the tear jerker	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read this book so fast that the whole time I was reading it I was thinking ""Dangit, it's going by too fast and it's going to end and then I won't have anymore to read!"" which is rare for me b/c I'm such a slooooooowwwwww reader! Maybe b/c it's more YA than adult made it so easy for me to read and I tend to read more adult books. Anyways, the story sucked me right in, I thoroughly enjoyed all of the characters, and I enjoyed the writing style of Mr. Green. I probably would read another book of his in the future. This was a book club selection and I am anxious to discuss it in our next meeting as I think the opinions were all over the map. I read the ending on a plane which I wouldn't really recommend as I was crying the whole time and looking like a fool, but if a good book gets you to cry, that's not a bad thing :)</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3M6DZ55QXTG4N?ASIN=014242417X	... Fault in Our Stars by John Green is the best book I have ever read in my entire life	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars by John Green is the best book I have ever read in my entire life, in my opinion. I do not normally enjoy reading but once I picked this up, I never wanted to put it down. John Green defiantly grasped my attention, and I believe he did with other 16 year old girls across the world. While reading this book, you will laugh, cry, and ask why certain things happened to such good people, and it makes you question life. When Hansel's cancer had returned, i was completely confused. Why did John write a love story about a girl who has cancer, to only fall in love with a boy who she thought recovered from it. While I was reading this, it was as if I was actually in the book, as if I knew these people. I loved them, and I hated them. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who would just love a good book.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2M589B1OD5Q3P?ASIN=014242417X	Perhaps not entirely realistic for such young characters, a splendid story none the less.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is a book that will likely make you want to read it from front to back in a mere few days. This coming from someone who has only leisurely read one other book in the last 6 months. It is quite well-written and filled with a story that had me laughing out loud, thinking important questions about the existence of man and the purpose of life and human interaction, and even left me with a few tears. There are many great references to other important authors in this book, and it is something I could see myself reading a second time. My only complaint would be in regards to the believability of the insight and depth two 17-year-olds are capable of. While I would describe Hazel and Augustus as old souls, it would have been more realistic to include a greater level of naivity and greenness to their thoughts and interactions.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RR00PWAIZ4210?ASIN=014242417X	Wow.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book has destroyed my life in ways that cannot be undone. Many people will read it, cry over it, and move on. But I haven't. This book is not just about a tragic love story between two ill people to me. This book has more meaning and it shows that even with little in your life to look forward to, there is something else that vows to change it. I can't thank John Green enough for writing a story so close to home. This world sucks when there are things so important that will be lost, but you can always be thankful when it comes to the short quotes within a piece of writing that make you stop and permanently put them in your mind. John Green, screw you for making my breaths become choppier as I struggle to read this book while crying, but thank you for showing me that I'm grateful for this infinity of fantastic writing.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1KVDNTBBR3LWP?ASIN=014242417X	Grown up male who read this book and really liked it	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">If you read the description or take in some of the hyperbole around this book you may think it has some otherworldly elements. That something more significant is afoot here or that there is some kind of overarching mystery to be solved. That is not true and it's a good thing.<br/>This is a story about two young people who have dealt with or who are dealing with facing death in the face and how they manage to fallen in love in spite of this. While the two main characters aren't given loads of depth, and there isn't much of a supporting cast here, the story is brisk and efficient. What you learn about the characters comes from dialogue and the author manages to give the two main characters a distinct voice that really pulls you in. It's melodrama in a good way, without every being distasteful. I highly recommend this book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R11WTMQVW102MU?ASIN=014242417X	Breath taking	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is one of the best books I have ever read. I have known people who struggle with cancer and let me just say, this book shows the truth about how life should be seen, and how cancer impacts the life of people. This book made me cry, smile and left a scar on my heart. Now it's not a bad scar but, a good one. The Fault in Our Stars touched me in such a way that I'll never forget this amazing story. It's full of love, that kind of love that tugs at your heart and gives you a warm feeling inside. It's got tragic deaths, that'll make you cry but that's okay because it's a sad book. I highly recommend this book to anyone that is seeking a happy-sad love story with a touch of humor. You won't want to put it down and when you do (probably because your crying your eyes out) you'll pick it back up again and keep reading.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R30ULZ59RQY1A0?ASIN=014242417X	truly touching	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I knew that choosing to read a cancer story was inviting my emotions to be trampled again.  Cancer has touched my family too often and too closely for it to be anything but an emotional roller coaster.  However it is comforting to see your own feelings put into words and to know that the worst you have experienced is something you haven't been alone in.  It is good to know that life can matter, even if it only touches one other person and ultimately that was the point I took away from the story of these lovers who met in a support group for children with cancer.  The characters are real to me, and the writing touches those thoughts that usually don't get shared. If you don't mind loving and losing a character, if you survived reading ""Where the Red Fern Grows"" and look back with a smile, you will love this book.</span>"

I fell in love with his books when I read Looking For Alaska . Which if you haven't read it, you definitely should.  Now this story is about Hazel who has cancer. And no it's not one of THOSE stories. The ones that are all about the cancer.<br/><br/>This story is all about Hazel. Who despite having cancer , is trying to live a normal teenage life. And is failing miserably at it until she meets Augustus Waters. <br/><br/>This story is extremely well written, the characters flawless, the story is so heart felt you just can't help falling in love with Hazel and Gus. You will cry, probably a lot. So grab a tissue box before you start reading. <br/><br/>This is the type of tale that changes people, the type that profoundly makes a difference....</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R15Y9K4KAK0C9D?ASIN=014242417X	Ripe with sadness, rich in beauty	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Kids with cancer.  What can be more depressing?  Yet John Green has managed to write a novel bursting with joy, sorrow, hope, smiles, tears, and laughter in The Fault in Our Stars.  Ripe with sadness, rich in beauty, both breathtaking and subtle, this young adult novel is full of tender moments and gut-punching realities. Hazel Grace and Gus meet at a support group for teens with cancer.  Hazel is terminal; Gus is in remission.  Convinced she is a “grenade” destined to explode and leave behind everyone who loves her with a broken heart, Hazel is determined to keep Gus at a distance.  But the two can’t help gently falling in love in spite of their uncertain futures (and whose future isn’t uncertain?) It is no wonder Green received such an amazing reception at Book Con. I hope the movie is a fraction as good as the book.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3BH2WMSO1VI02?ASIN=014242417X	a touching must read! (actually 4 1/2 stars)	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Mr Green touched the key to writing a cancer book ... slightly irreverant and completely believable.  The main characters have cancer, but they and the story are not treated as  sad,and maudelin but rather as two young people, living and loving within their circumstances and their lives.  I loved the fact that the author did not play to the cancer but worked the story inspite of it!<br/>All too often people's lives are defined by the battles they are facing (cancer, addiction, etc)rather that by who they are.  Mr Green approached Hazel and Augustus as teenagers who fell into a relationship ... and they had cancer!<br/>In my opinion, this is a must read for anyone who loves a love story, anyone who is dealing with a dire disease and anyone who believes in getting beyond circumstances and living life to it's fullest!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2OUP9YUZ6WUS1?ASIN=014242417X	A must read inspiring and romantic love story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I selected the book The Fault in Our Stars by John Green because it is a very romantic and inspiring story. I would recommend the book. It was a very happy story in the beginning and even though it changed a lot throughout the book it was a great story. I think it is not just a story about cancer and love, but is realistic about what can happen in life and how people, even if they don't think they are important or famous, are loved by their family and friends. It is a very sad story and has a lot of ups and downs as to who was sick or in trouble and how other people feel about them. It did meet my expectations. I thought it had an excellent plot, was very romantic and also showed what love did to people and how it changed them. It was a different story than what I was expecting and better than I thought it would be.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I have never read something with more beautiful language, and such a thought provoking characters. Cancer is always viewed with pity and having hazel mention all the shit that comes along with it was eye opening. The very mention of longer infinities have opened my eyes in a way I never could have imagined. I know hazel and Augustus would cringe at the cheesiness of that sentence, but never have I been so keenly aware of something I have never experienced. Dying IS heroic, and you don't need to be fight the battle bravely, or be a martyr to be a hero. Augustus was hazel's hero for touching her heart, and for noticing the world. Truly amazing. This review can not do justice to this book, and the mark that a fictional character has left on my life has left me in awe. Augustus left more than just one scar. Please read.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1U2SW5B2JGQ34?ASIN=014242417X	the Fault In Our Stars is a beautiful book of love	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">'You do not have a choice of whether or not to get hurt but you have a choice of who can hurt you'....the Fault In Our Stars is a beautiful book of love, smiles and pain. I write not only to add to the many good reviews but also to inform that few books have come to life in the way this one did in the movie, The Fault In Our Stars by directed by Josh Boone. On a 15.5 hour flight , I read the book with no breaks and then again with no breaks I watched the movie...and I was not disappointed. In fact it was a great experience to live the book through the movie ...the wonderful casting made the book come to life. Of course like any dramatization the nuances, subtle emotions and enormous detailing of the book gets missed out but only to add character and life to a book that beckons not just to be read but to be seen...</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R176C0HA1B1O5N?ASIN=014242417X	truth behind cliche	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">From the commercial previews of the movie version of this book, I wasn't particularly looking forward to reading it. It seemed obvious what would happen, a sadder version of the romantic boy meets girl.<br/><br/>Yet, the truth of what it's like to suffer with pain and separation, the teenage angst that fights the platitudes of those who don't understand is very real.<br/><br/>The story line of hazels favorite book and author is original and interesting.<br/><br/>The author doesn't tie everything into a pretty picture at the end, it's refreshing. It's much more of a snapshot of a challenging life led.<br/><br/>I sobbed at the end and savored doing it. Even knowing the outcome, because of those movie commercial previews, that didn't matter.<br/><br/>I loved this book and can't imagine anyone that wouldn't.</span>"

I loved how smart Hazel was, how Augustus was such a lovely person. But why do authors always do this to us? I cried so very hard when Augustus died, it made me sick to my stomach. I felt as though I had known each and every one of the characters individually. I have a strong opinion of Augustus Waters, he was fragile with a hard shell, making every word mean something. Hazel was such a smart, witty, and inspiring girl, I also felt she had a hard shell, but often left it open to reveal her inner softness. I was touched, I felt relieved that Hazel was so kind, that she took matters into her own hands, and did her best to make everyone around her happy. As she showed in her unwillingness to go, to leave her family childless.</span>"

THIS is one of those books people.  No, I'm not a teenager (by many, well, lets just say, by several decades).  This book is simply excellent.  Exceptional writing.  Poignant.  Funny.  Wonderful characters that were full of life within the first few pages.  Excellent, excellent, excellent.  I do not want to give the story away, but you just have to trust me on this one.

This book takes you on a complete roller coaster of your emotions. You feel sadness, empathy, sympathy, elation, joy, aggravation, pain and sorrow. I loved that John Green brings out all those emotions within his readers.<br/>The story of Hazel and Augustus is touching and one I wished had a happier ending. But like all tragic love stories, you learn, as Hazel so eloquently put, ""life is not a wish-granting machine."" Growing with these two has brought me a myriad of emotions and I am grateful even though they are only fictional, I was able to get to know, understand, and explore their journey with them. Kudos Mr. Green for this heart-warming book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R22B3URULUYLKO?ASIN=014242417X	No words could describe the beauty of the book!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I believe this book is one of those books you just can't get enough of. John Green opened my eyes in world most people don't know. Hazel was of course the best John Green had created, but the ones I noticed more was, no is, Isaac and Augustus. Isaac is one of the cancer kids that is NEC , and towards the middle HE goes blind. And then it makes you wonder ""wow we take advantage of our five senses and we spit it back without thanking God"". Then their is Augustus… smart, charming, and unique. He is truly one of a kind character you won't read upon every book.<br/><br/>To Gus: your life is a roller coaster that only goes up, but eventually gravity takes a toll and you must come down eventually<br/>TO Hazel: … live life to the fullest<br/>TO THE AUTHOR: my only complaint...if only Gus and Hazel Grace meet sooner</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1GVBJY3Q5R5UA?ASIN=014242417X	rating of the book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This novel made me realize that those who you think are no other than strangers have a side that you wish you got to know. Also, I've changed my point of view on how I view others I used to think they were just like everyone but you never know because you might end up to fall in love with them. Thank you for writing this book it has really changed my perspective in things. Also, I've learned to always look on the bright side like Augustus always did and not to think of the bad sides but the good one and to always treasure life. I don't exactly remember this quote but I'll try to, pain is like fabric: the stronger it is the more it's worth. There are so many quotes in this novel that I could not possibly write down but all I know is that I should keep the ones I love close to my heart no matter where they are.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3IX5LIYHGSQQ8?ASIN=014242417X	The Feels	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Okay, so this book is amazing, so many feelings. Did I cry? Yes. Of course. I was an emotional wreck. If you haven't heard of this book all I have to say is... where have you been? Get up and go to your local bookstore and buy it. Or get it on your kindle, nook, iBooks, etc. I enjoy John Green's writing style, Back in high school, I read An Abundance of Katherines, and really liked it. Of course, Tumblr was full of ""READ THIS BOOK"" and ""TFIOS is AWESOME"", I was curious. When I saw it was John Green who wrote Abundance of Katherines I had to get the book. The only reason I put the book down was to try and stop from crying. When I finished it, I hugged it for about an hour. LOL. I'm excited for the movie to come out, hopefully its true to the movie, although the trailer makes it seem like it is.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1PHHECCIE4MAO?ASIN=014242417X	Who am I to Judge	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">First off. What an amazingly well written novel! I cannot even begin to express the gratitude and the multitude of emotions and thoughts this has made me process. I read this while my a it was in the hospital and on life support and stopped for a while because it was too much to deal with. She died last Friday and everything in this book has really just helped me get to a better place with being okay that she's gone. This book is truth but it's put so eloquently that it's looked at as a beautiful piece off art in a way. And if you're in anyway cynical like I am, well then you may just feel humbled in the way that Hazel thinks. DEFINITELY recommend you reading this book. It's well worth it, and definitely helpful if you're in a rough spot trying to deal with the loss of a loved one. It's absolutely beautiful.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1VNS9O0Y0Q8WO?ASIN=014242417X	Good Story, Non Realistic Teenagers	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Here's my straight, to the point, run down of my opinion:<br/><br/>-Great story line that had a lot of potential to WOW me.<br/>-Writing was too pretentious for teenagers.  What thought provoking, literary geniuses these kids were..... It was really just too much and I found myself rolling my eyes a lot at how amazingly wise these teenagers were supposed to be.  And, yes, I've been told, ""maybe that's just reflecting the new perspective they would have on life based on their illnesses"".  Sorry.  I didn't 'buy it'.  A writer should make a character seem like they really could exist and never once while reading this did I get that feeling.<br/>-I still cried my eyes out so it still had an affect on me.<br/><br/>So there it is. Not a popular opinion but I never was one to go along with the crowd.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3EGV9PDTXSJ7R?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read this book in one night. ONE NIGHT. It was that good. I have not read a book that's moved me to tears in a long time. It wasn't a love story portraying people that were head over heels for one another, jealous if someone besides themselves so much as looks at their lover. I liked how none of the characters moped or sulked. I emotionally connected with the characters. Hazel and Augustus""s relationship felt just right, not to much, but not to little either. I liked how green didn't make Augustus shun Hazel because she didn't embrace his love for her immediately, but keep put trying, but wasn't too forward. I liked how the author didn't have Augustus make the first move, but showed that he liked her.  I liked how Hazel had brains and was practical, and not stupidly stubborn. I highly recommend this book.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R170KTMMFA224B?ASIN=014242417X	A little too teen-ny and a bit arrogant.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Easy read and entertaining. So if you are looking for that, then this is your book.<br/><br/>But I felt it was just another teenage love story, based on looks as usual. I didn't make me cry either, and trust me, I don't have a stone heart.<br/><br/>I also didn't appreciate the tone of superiority that the narrator had in regards to the afterlife. It's one thing to not know or not agree with others in regards to the possibility of the existence of something bigger than ourselves, but when you dumb-down other's belief in that, you are acting even worse because you are lifting your own ideology above theirs when you don't know what life after death is either. We are all in the same boat, so her superiority and negativity annoyed me.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RIWFI1DD8JB33?ASIN=014242417X	Maybe The Fault Was In My Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">You just know, from the first page, that something very sad is going to happen before the very last page is read.  And yet I had to read on and ultimately truly cared about these damaged teenagers. Their contemporary conversations and thoughts captured my sensibilities and I so wanted the inevitable to be postponed or a miracle to happen.  The word ""cured"" would not have surprised or disappointed me.  and I felt deeply about the anguish of the parents.<br/>And so the trip to Amsterdam was not what was anticipated and gave this reader a jolt because the protagonists and the story already had a sense of predictability about it all. I cared about every page but had no control over the authors well written novel.  Maybe I need to settle down with my own pen and paper to write the story I need to read!</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3IO4FPZ1UYEMV?ASIN=014242417X	My heart is broken yet happy	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">when I got the book it was happy in the beginning lots of cute and hilarious comedy, later in the middle of the book it got a bit sadder and some humour I cried here and there and tolled my mom some quotes from the book (some funny some sad). And lastly the end of the book it was heartbreaking to hear that (spoiler alert) Gus died, he was my favorite male character (next to hazel's dad) he was funny and knew what hazel was going through, knowing that he died made me literally go in my room and I had a fit. Hazel was a girl who thought she'd never have a life, until Gus came into her life. she was also funny and had really funny sarcasm, I'm going to see the movie real soon I can't wait. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves cute love story's with a twist. thank you for reading this! ~Awesome name</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2Z3TXOMBA0SBY?ASIN=014242417X	A Wonderful Read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is a book I would have never picked up on my own but searching for something to read on Amazon I look for referrals based on what other people are reading. I was so pleasantly surprised by this book. What a beautiful story about life, love and meaningfulness. It is touching, thought provoking and real. There were times that I just cried for what the characters were going through, which is something I don't experience often. Although this book is full of depressing subject matter, I found it to be inspirational. A book I couldn't put down and couldn't wait to get back to.<br/>It would be interesting to get the perspective of a young person who read this to see if they took away the same things that I took away. As an adult, I found it a great book about the value of being loved and being able to love.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1SXXWN169I40T?ASIN=014242417X	You Owe it To Yourself to Read This One	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I vacillated a long time on whether or not to read this book. From the various synopses I wasn't particularly interested in engaging in a purposeful sobfest; I'm far more a happy endings kind of chick. But let me be clear. I would have missed something -- indeed, my life would be incomplete if I skipped this book. It is masterfully written -- brilliant and engaging and authentic and scary and I'm glad I gave myself the opportunity to experience the gamut of emotions John Green's words and characters made me feel. Buy it. Read it. If only for the last few pages. Exquisite examples of what others on the planet get to experience their one tour around the sun. I cried when I put my Kindle down. It made me want to do a better job with the days I've got. To connect more fully -- despite the costs of connection.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R8FGP69TQC8XF?ASIN=014242417X	John Green Makes A Worldwide Sensation Feel Personal	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">It's not the way the couple treat each other that makes this book amazing. You could pick up any old book and read a typical love story, even with a sad ending and walk away feel indifferent. The way Hazel's mind works is just unbelievable. You see this special things in other dominant female characters too (Katniss Everdeen from The Hunger Games, Beatrice Prior from Divergent etc.) This sort of realistic energy that is presented from harrowing or unfair events from the past. Hazel faces reality. She doesn't expect much. She isn't living her life under a big plan, but rather in the moment. Yeah, this book does discuss a tragic love story, and an unbelievably gorgeous boy, but Hazel Grace is one of the greatest heroes of our generation, and I'm sure every reader can connect to her somehow in their own way.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RX1XQ18E5LCVU?ASIN=014242417X	Beautiful and Tragic	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">What of the best books I have read.<br/><br/>Full of love and lessons.<br/><br/>Sometimes its hard for us to find humor in our despair, which makes perfect sense. This book moves the characters through their grief and tragedy with often humorous displays of humanity. Making you feel like they want you to be happy because life just wouldnt be right any other way.<br/><br/>I had laughter and tears and regrets from this book. Well written, wonderful characters and love, lots of love.<br/><br/>“As he read, I fell in love the way you fall asleep: slowly, and then all at once.”<br/>“My thoughts are stars I cannot fathom into constellations.”<br/>“That's the thing about pain,"" Augustus said, and then glanced back at me. ""It demands to be felt”<br/>“What a slut time is. She screws everybody.”</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R17D5N7QN34LUH?ASIN=014242417X	Apart from the media hype, it's just ok	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I know it's a big-hit movie, but I'm not a teenager and I wanted to see what all the hype was about by reading the actual work of the author instead of seeing the dumb-downed version on the screen (no offense to the film-makers).  Did I cry, yes.  Did John Green work really hard to produce those tears? Yes.  Sometimes, a little too hard.  I can see why adolescents are in love with this book because it certainly plays to the perception that between the ages of 13-21 you are the most intelligent, insightful and profound person you will ever be and dying at that age is leaving at the peak of your existence.  I really don't buy into that mind-set so I was not as enamored with the story as others currently are at the moment.  That being said, anything that gets young people reading deserves it's due credit.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R32Q83WAN16DBN?ASIN=014242417X	I love, love, love this book!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I stumbled upon this book when someone posted on Facebook (yes, FB) that she had opened it up to read for the SEVENTH time and knew that she would be reading all night long.  I immediately clicked on amazon to check it out.  Reviews were very good, but many mentioned crying.  Ever since I saw Old Yeller as a child, I try to avoid any movie, book, etc. that will make me cry.  However, I bought the e-book and am so glad that I did.  TFIOS, as it is referred to often, is a wonderful book.  Yes, a bit sad (I did not cry), but the relationship story is a joy!  READ THIS BOOK - - you will NOT be sorry.  In fact, I think you will love it like so many do.  Oh, I almost forgot to say, I love this book so much that I later bought the hardcover version of it.  I wanted to add it to my collection of real books : )</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RAKWORA0FRC04?ASIN=014242417X	interesting	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I picked up this book knowing it would be sad and also knowing it would be deep and heartfelt. I'm not much of a love story- lover, so I had my doubts. There were things I disliked a bit, like how self centered Hazel was at points and how cheesy some parts were, but other parts were not at all cheesy and Hazel's cynical attitude was perfect to combat a lot of the typical lovey- doveyness. I'm not a big fan of sad books, but I knew I had to read this book because of all its hype. I think it's a book that you have to read again to get the full effect, so after I loan it to my friend I will probably read it again. Maybe not, though, because it really makes life seem like a depressing place for a few days. Overall, the characters are well developed, the story thought out, and the plot somewhat conclusive.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1Y1UDCCXH3PF1?ASIN=014242417X	Life and love and mortality	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Hazel has cancer and is going to die. Isaac has cancer and will lose his sight. Augustus has cancer and has lost a leg. These teenagers find each other at an adolescent cancer support group convened in the Literal Heart of Jesus. They explore the possibilities and limits of life and love and mortality. Their author presents his characters as precocious, perceptive and extremely articulate, using gallows humors freely while feeling a tad bit guilty they take advantage of Cancer Perks. This is poignant, rather than sad, which doesn't mean you won't need tissues a couple of times. The ending is a bit rushed, not matching the thoughtfulness of the rest of the book. It was only after I finished the book that I realized this was written for the youth/young adult market.  Still a recommended read for adults.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R10K40CPTXVYZT?ASIN=014242417X	Beautiful	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">so, my story with this book is strange. I live in Colorado, and my first experience hearing about this book was by my schools. I began to think it was a just a cheesy romance novel that just young women you'd understand. My thoughts were supported when every girl in my homeroom started reading this book. But still, I was interested in the storyline, and I saw this book winning ridiculous amounts of awards. so, browsing the kindle book store one day, I decided to purchase it. I soon realized two things and they were (a) the book is by John freaking green and (b) that this wasn't some cheesy romance novel, but it effortlessly switches between emotions like anger, happiness, despair, and uncertainty. This book was incredible, and won't soon stop thinking about hazel and Gus, and their beautiful story.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R34V227SPP3ZOQ?ASIN=014242417X	Great Story!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I very much enjoyed the plot in this book. Occasionally, Green would border on becoming cliché, but then would do a complete 180 with some sort of twist. The book kept me enthralled the entire time and it was very evocative. I felt the emotions as the characters did. I cried, I laughed, I smiled, and many times, my jaw dropped.<br/>The only problem I had was the writing style. This didn't bother me the ENTIRE time, but every now and then, Green seemed to try to hard to convey the devil-may-care attitude that Hazel has. This, however, did not detract from the story and it is mostly because I was reading it from a writer's perspective and these are things we notice.<br/>All in all, great book! I would definitely recommend this to anybody looking for a good, insightful read. Really makes you think!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3HTDVUJ7V19SI?ASIN=014242417X	3 stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is an incredibly quick read, which is good because it cut down on the number of tissues I needed.  If you are looking for something lighthearted, well, let's just say this won't fit the bill.  I was a little frustrated with the characters at times...Hazel tends to be rather negative...understandable when you look at her circumstances, but it gets a little exhausting.  It did bring me new perspective on young people with cancer and other terminal diseases.  Logic tells us that it would be hard, but Hazel and Gus's story from Hazel's perspective shows that there are so many different aspects that are hard...from interacting with healthy people who don't understand to not knowing exactly when the end is coming (but that it's soon)...there's a lot that we can't understand until we've been there.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3D6JXZ6B5DLK7?ASIN=014242417X	Heartbreaking and Such a Great Read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I was intrigued and wanted to read the book after reading a review and seeing a small.piece on the A's author.  One of my students, high school freshman, asked me if I read it yet.  I decided I'd better as a bonding venue.<br/><br/>Wow, this novel was riveting from beginning to end.  I found it difficult to put it down.  I felt a kinship with the characters as a parent, educator and a person with a critical illness.  John Green's writing helped me to envision the look and sound of each character.  I especially appreciated the clear eyed approach or tone of the book.  It revealed the messiness, complexity, compassion and vulnerabilities of human relationships undergoing the journey.of dealing with illness, and the inevitable loss.<br/><br/>What a privilege.<br/><br/>J Shaw<br/>Washington DC</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RJ2Q405DN88I9?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing book .	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The book was absolutely amazing. This book, to me, stood out more than the usual. It provides many different genres in itself, giving those who like many different genres a chance. There was comedy (humor), drama, fiction, romance, etc. Although I am just an early teenager who has a lot to learn, I really , honestly learned some things from this book, especially with the wording that John Green used. I began to love  this book so much. At first, I had heard that it  was a great book, but I wasn't too sure, since I am not much of a reader.<br/>Because I am not a fan of ""The Perks of Being a Wallflower,  I thought that I would  not like this book either, until I began to read it. This is now my favorite book next to the Hunger Games series. This book really is fantastic, and I highly reco.mmend it</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RQIBDDLQHUUWU?ASIN=014242417X	Very interesting book, hard to put down once you start it!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I knew of John Green from the many ""Crash Course"" videos he's famous for on YouTube, but I was surprised that he also wrote novels. Quite a Renaissance man, he does equally well in prose as he does in video! A very interesting novel that explores the world of terminal illness from the eyes and soul of the people directly affected. You get to feel that you really know these people and you come closer to imagining what it would be like to have lost one eye already to cancer and be facing the choice of losing the last one or dying from the cancer that is destroying it, or being a terminally ill person falling love with a person who seems OK but dies before you do of a recurrence of his cancer. Left me with a greater appreciation for the world around me and the wonder of every day well spent.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3A31MDH97MX6O?ASIN=014242417X	Close to home	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">How can one explain that a book about cancer can be funny?  I questioned my husband's judgement when he wanted to read this book while going through gastric cancer treatment. He had 6 rounds of chemo (4 as outpatient, 2 hospital as in), 20 days of radiation and two hospital stays due to viral infections from basement level neutrophil counts. But as the days went by I heard him laughing. A sound that was sorely missed. He laugh and say, ""Oh, you've got to read this part"". I found I didn't want to give the book back because I got sucked right in myself. The three cancer patients are charming, charismatic, irreverent and totally believable. The book is honest, true to the emotions one has, and tugs at your heart as you cheer these three on. We now have ""Cancer perks"" in our lexicon.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R728T6UE16WRL?ASIN=014242417X	Deserves 6+ stars! Amazing.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book left me speechless. I'm not even able to come up with the accurate words to justify the greatness of this book. It not like any other book I've ever read. It goes readers such a different understanding of cancer and the people who suffer from it's harsh symptoms. It doesn't romanticize cancer to make you feel sorry for the characters. It makes you realize that they are regular people, just like you and me, who experience the same things we do and want to live a normal life.<br/><br/>While this book is written with young/teen readers in mind I never realized this until I read reviews after I read the book. It's content is emotionally mature, but an easy read. This is probably one of the best books I've ever read. This is my first book to review, and if I could give it 6 stars I would!</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2U8QK013IQFBM?ASIN=014242417X	Good to a fault?	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">How do you rate a book about cancer?  Not usually my first choice for subject matter, however, it is a part of us as much as anything else.  John Green writes a compelling story from a wise young girl's perspective and does a damn good job of it too.  I was completely taken in by the 3 main characters (heroes), straight away due to their ability to cut through the stereotypical attitudes most others adopt when in the company of anyone with a serious illness such as this.  I found it refreshing to be pulled into such devastating honesty.  I hope to be as clear about my place in the world when I near the end.  And to know that no matter how little time or experience we have, we all need and want to risk the agony &amp; ecstasy of love.  Isn't that noble and courageous enough?  A good, thoughtful read.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RM2QUUTBWB2GM?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in Our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I saw an interview with this Author on a Sunday morning show called Sunday Morning and then realised the clips I had been seeing about a movie were part of a book that had been written first. Being the book hound I am, I had to read it. We who read know that movies always slaughter the book. Whether for young people or not, it's a book very much worth reading. I'm not a teenager, not even close and enjoyed this book immensely. The fullness and vibrance of the characters is rich, unrivaled. I won't tell you I cried because I don't believe the book is about sorrow and death,  It's about living, living fully. That's what I know Hollywood will turn this into, an over romanticized tear jerker , another Love Story. So before reading, know that's not the point of this Author's beautiful story, at all.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1FYQ7E98VS07T?ASIN=014242417X	I loved this book so much	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I loved this book so much, I started reading it again as soon as I finished it.  I also purchased the movie.  John Green is a an incredible story teller.  You know from the very start that you're dealing with exceptional characters with Hazel and Gus.  You also know that they are facing bleak futures with cancer.  Along the way, in their too brief lives, they experience pain and disappointment, but also adventure, and most of all, they experience love.  The trip to Amsterdam is magical and you find yourself celebrating the joy, triumph, and love that they shared.  I laughed and I cried.  I found myself praying for miracles, even though I knew they were unlikely.  Most of all, I was so happy that Hazel and Gus found each other and grabbed that moment of love and joy, that would last a lifetime.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RLBTTU9ZY4X1X?ASIN=014242417X	Hmm	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book makes me sad but not in the way I expected. I saw such good ratings and expected to be reading the next incredible book but instead I got just a plain ol drawn out story. Don't get me wrong, it's not a bad story, but it's not great &amp; definitely not incredible. The teens are a bit wise beyond their years and even though I can look past that, I was still left feeling as if there should have been something more. By the end I found myself asking ""is that it?"" This book leaves nothing behind to remember; just a couple teens who fail to flourish due to reasons unconventional to the way young love usually fizzles out and that's that. A quick little life lesson shoved in at the end rather than built upon throughout the book. It's a decent book, but certainly unworthy of the excessive praise.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2ZJG4PB72WFMX?ASIN=014242417X	Heartwarming Informative Inspirational	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The subject matter could be considered depressing and turn off some readers, but I recommend it to all.  It is a story of courage and determination that most of us could never imagine, but need to be aware that real life stories such as this are happening everywhere.  It was timely for me because I have a young woman friend who just fought an amazingly valiant battle with cancer and unfortunately recently lost it.  The book gave me some insight as to what she was probably experiencing although she outwardly kept up a positive and brave front.  Aside from being a story about some remarkable young people and a subject that many might like to avoid, this book is a well written, thoroughly fascinating, informative, even humorous,  yet moving story.  It also is a lesson in what is really important.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1QFYBG3SBL6YO?ASIN=014242417X	Heartbreakingly good	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Despite the numerous reviews saying that this book is not about cancer or dying, let's be very clear that it is, without any doubt, about cancer and dying.  But before you decide that it is not for you, it is definitely a must read. Your life would be the poorer for not having been introduced to Hazel Grace and Augustus, who are two of the most likeable characters I have encountered.  This is not a sentimental portrayal of dying teenagers, but rather a very real look at what it means to be a teenager with cancer.  Despite the seriousness of the subject, there is still loads of humour in the book, but be warned, it is heart-breaking!<br/><br/>John Green is a talented writer and each sentence is brilliantly constructed.  It is impossible to read this book and not feel admiration for his skill.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R5HJZ70VA3TFQ?ASIN=014242417X	Good book with a message of hope. Sort of.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">If you're a teenage you've most likely heard of this book or movie.  It is engaging, moving, but of course fiction.  As long as your youngster knows teens don't really act this way I think it's a good read.  My daughter loves it, her friend didn't because it romanticizes cancer. The irony here is that after he stated that he ended up with AML leukemia. He's a survivor know, but still feels the same way.  There is nothing romantic about cancer. I like the way the story encourages kids to live life, sick or not.  Don't risk love even if you're ill or maybe dying. Life is here for the living, live it while you can.  It makes me sad there is not much positive mention of what happens after you die, but I guess that isn't the point of this book, it's more about what you are doing while you're here.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">""There is only thing in this world s***tier than biting it from cancer when you're sixteen, and that's having a kid who bites it from cancer.""<br/><br/>This book was GLORIOUS! I laughed with Hazel, cried with Hazel and everything in between. I mean seriously! Like most books I read I went into this book, blind and honestly at first I thought man this is going to be a tough read, having lost my father to cancer several years ago. But it was so good and inspiring! I loved it and even though this book is written about a couple of teenagers I think anyone at any age could appreciate it! John Green has a new fan in me! I honestly hope that the movie does the book justice, which honestly it probably won't because we all know the book is ALWAYS better than the movie! Now go buy the book, it's so worth it!</span>"

I always find that the movies I've seen after reading the book usually disappoint me. I don't know why I like to read the book and then watch the movie. I know I will be disappointed. But I do it anyway. Maybe I'm testing myself. Testing my memory. I don't know... but I am writing this BEFORE watching the movie so I don't go on and on about the disappointment.<br/><br/>I found the book very well written. Well developed characters that I felt I truly got to know personally. Description was so thorough that I could ""see"" what was being described. Almost ""smell"" or ""feel"" or even ""hear"" through description. Amazing writing! Written through the eyes of a teenage girl and her first true love and the unfairness that is cancer.

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2KJ3FLTZOGJH1?ASIN=014242417X	Good Story, uninspiring writing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I am an adult who often enjoys reading YA literature and several young adult friends had recommended this book to me.  I feel the themes of the book are important for everyone but sadly I found the writing style to be uninspiring, boring and flat sentence structure.  I have read many YA  authors who can write beautifully and still direct the story to the appropriate audiences.  The themes of life, love, loss, grieving,  and more are presented through teens with cancer. The relationship between the two main characters is profound and beautiful regardless of their ages. The backstory of the girl's parents and how they live with the knowledge that their only child is dying is an important part of the story.<br/><br/>I read this book on Kindle through my library. I'm glad I didn't pay for it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R24U5DDH9OHXXP?ASIN=014242417X	Short but it's captivating...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I chose a five star rating on this book because I found it absolutely thrilling. I could not stop reading, and that's coming from an 11 year old girl. The thing I love about John Green is that you can turn to one page and find something beautiful like, ""That's the thing about pain, it demands to be felt,"" or you can turn to another page and find something hilarious like, ""It's not my fault my parents own the largest collection of black Santa's!"" It seems like John Green and I have a connection somewhere along the lines, because every book I've read by him, I've become (There's not even a word) by the similarities between me and the characters. I know my review was short, but I want you all to download as many books as possible by John Green, because I promise, you will not be disappointed.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RQPOLBN1R9S0S?ASIN=014242417X	Phenomenal	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I don't even know where to start when it to TFIOS. I was hesitant of reading this book at first, because I'm very emotional when it comes to cancer and illnesses. Hazel Grace is such a strong individual, it was truly moving to see how she went from the girl watching America's Next Top Model to falling in love with an even stronger individual. Augustus Water help Hazel find herself while also helping her fall in love with him. Forget Bella &amp; Edward or Katniss &amp; Peeta, Augustus &amp; Hazel are the real love couple. They are both going through hardship and struggles, but yet they have each other strength to lean on and learn from. I recommend that if you are double thinking about reading this, STOP. PRESS BUY! You will not regret it! But I will warn you, you will not have a dry eye in this novel.</span>"

It is impossible to express exactly how deeply this book affected me.  I missed the book when I was away from it, I thought about the characters as I moved about my day, I would catch myself speeding home after work to get back to reading.  This book pulled me in, with every inch of my being.  I didn't realize how in love with this book I was until I heard it was becoming a movie.  Instead of excitement, I felt betrayed.  This book was too special, too intimate, too personal to become a movie.  How can they share this secret that the characters only shared with me?  This book pulled me in THAT much.  It never even occurred to me that this was a book that other people could be reading too.  Please read this book, you will not regret a second.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2I2AGJHZ2RGHR?ASIN=014242417X	Did not seem genuine	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I personally did not like the book. But for some reason, everyone else seems to love it.<br/><br/>I managed to get to the part with the death of one of the characters (in case someone is not familiar with the story I won't spoil it) but I then decided to stop reading it. Why? Well I simply found no difficulty in putting the book down. I did not find the characters genuine, and Hazel's obsession with the book (hence the trip) just annoyed me. The way Gus and Hazel speak also does not make any sense. No one, except for the eccentric writer, speaks that way. I also feel like John Green was trying to make the characters relatable, but it just didn't come off as authentic.<br/><br/>Every person I talked to cried when they read the book. I couldn't get through it. This book seems overrated.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R5YU2YN651FAJ?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing Amazing Amazing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I have followed a heroic story of a man that fought cancer for 10 years and not one did I wonder what he thought. I did look up to him and knew that I could never be as strong of a person had he was. This book helped me to see what it is like to be a cancer patient and how you don't want others to feel sorry for you. You just want them to know you and only you not your disease. Life is truly amazing. Some people have more time then others and some people know there time will be cut short so they learn to live life as best they can but for those of us who don't have a reason to look at life in way that cancer patients do we take everything for granted. Life is short make your mark in the most positive way possible. Don't take anything for granted for you may not have the chance to fix it.</span>"

All of my friends read this book and kept talking about how great it was so of course I decided to read it as well. The beginning of the book was good not great and I didn't understand why they liked it so much but they all loved it so I thought ""it must get better so I have to read on"" And so I did. As I read on the book got so much better and I ended up really liking the book. I enjoyed reading this book and recommend that mostly anyone from the ages 12 and up would e not reading it too. I am so excited for the movie to come out in June Im already making plans to see it with friends. This book is pretty sad though and if you want to find out then I suggest reading this book!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RLSMWGIAFRLTU?ASIN=014242417X	Not bad, not great	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I so wanted to love this book. It seemed right up my alley. And you know, 15 year old me probably would have. But 24 year old me didn't love it. (I am not ashamed to say I still read YA.) While interesting in its own way, this book did bore me quite a bit. Its a good story, but I didn't like the writing. It had some funny parts and some witty dialogue. But my biggest complaint is that every single character is portrayed as witty and intelligent and sarcastic. Every single character, from Hazel and Augustus to Peter van Houten and Mrs. Lancaster, speaks exactly the same way, with an abundance of sarcasm. Not one character has their own personality. How can every character have dry humor and speak with such sarcasm? While funny at some parts, the sarcastic tone of everyone got old. Quick.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R29ARC7VP3R68B?ASIN=014242417X	"Review for ""The Fault In Our Stars"""	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I went into the book with no expectations and knowing only that this book was about teenagers facing cancer (however not a sad story). I thought the book helped the reader to see what some cancer patients may be feeling and thinking from a patients point of view.<br/>Although the book may have been written with a younger audience in mind, I felt at times, some of the vocabulary and the thought provoking topic (having cancer and knowing you are dyeing) used by the author made was not specifically meant only for young adults. The relationship between the 2 main characters (Gus and Hazel Grace) was very touching as well as inspiring. I also was encouraged by the way the parents of the cancer patients handled the situations they were put in. A quick read but a very endearing story overall.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2S4D3PHM7EGDX?ASIN=014242417X	amazing story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Although this book is technically young adult fiction, it was better written than several contemporary fiction 'adult' books I've read as of late.<br/><br/>The story tells about Hazel, a 17-year old is living with a life-ending cancer. At first glance this is a maudlin setting for a book, but John Green writes Hazel as a witty, sarcastic, smart girl who is a voracious reader, rolls her eyes at her cancer support group, and a terrific friend and daughter. The juxtaposition of her sickness and her life makes her a perfect protagonist, and when she meets Augustus, a charming 18-year old whose cancer has taken his leg by not his livliness, we get a perfect story. This is a young, super-non traditional love story that gives a fresh breath to the young adult genre, and a read for everyone.(</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R22AATWPAXOAZD?ASIN=014242417X	Very disappointed...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">After all of the 5 star reviews this book received I just knew that I needed it for my classroom.<br/><br/>Now I just wish that I could return it and get my money back as I was very disappointed in this book.  I did enjoy the characters, but that is about where my enjoyment stopped.  Most junior high students won't be able to read this and get all of the meaning without keeping a dictionary handy.  I used context clues to figure out what the words were meaning, but still didn't know on some.  I didn't feel that all of the events in this book were appropriate, and I never grasped the character infatuation with the book they loved that the whole story revolved around.<br/><br/>I have the book, but I won't be suggesting it to the majority of readers that pass through my classroom.  :-(</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2Q2A5FJ9FRJEZ?ASIN=014242417X	A Moving, Intense Story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Wow. Having just finished reading this book, wow is almost as much as I can say. ""The Fault In Our Stars"" is as close to a realistic look at what it must feel like to be dying at a young age as anyone could ever get. The characters in this book reach out through the pages and demand your attention. That is one of the highest compliments I can think of to give to a novel. Anyone who enjoys reading should consider this book, no matter what your normal genre is because it will make you appreciate your life, even if you normally wouldn't! It also succeeds at making readers think about the things we say when someone is dying, or recently departed, and how those words affect their loved ones and others who may be sick. I rarely give any book 5 stars, but this one deserved every single one.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1NS1XRUWYY5C7?ASIN=014242417X	It will make you laugh, cry and think	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The tragedy of kids living and dying with cancer and how it impacts their lives, their families, their friends and those who are left. THE lives and settings described, at times, a bit unrealistically, but with great detail and visual imagery.  I appreciated that the book described life from the sick characters point of view.  My sister (who had a terminal illness) once said to me ""I wish everyone would stop saying everything will get better, or try to relax, or hang in there....when all I wanted to say is this life of mine sucks!""  I often thought her life was horrible and unfair and painful.... but I never stopped to think about what could she be thinking.  I know that she said and did things to make the people she loved feel ok even when she would have just wanted to go to sleep.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2BNB3Y3FUEHW7?ASIN=014242417X	An interesting look into the world of young cancer patients.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">My husband and I have been working with teens for 30 years and have occasionally run into a young person that has caused us to have renewed faith in the younger generation.  The young characters in The Fault of our Stars will have that effect as well as making you think very differently about the plight of the terminally ill.<br/><br/>I appreciated (as a parent) that this wasn't another story of teenage angst pitting teens against their parents or other adults.  It's refreshing to find a story about families loving each other even if it's clumsy and imperfect.  After starting the book, I was afraid that the style and tone was more geared towards young readers, but I hung in there and was happy<br/>to find mature thinking a couple of interesting plot twists that held my interest.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RNPD2290ZJ0S5?ASIN=014242417X	It was Ok	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I am not a review writer.  I read a lot of books but often can't find the words to describe what i'm feeling.  I must admit I feel a little silly.  I was excited about this book, it got great review, was a best book of 2012, it has to be good?  Right?  The first few pages of the book had me a little confused.  What?  Huh?  The words were grandiose, overdone, trying too hard.  It took all of my willpower to pick it back up.  I did not find the story believable because the characters were hard personalize.  How could they even understand each other?  My eyes did prick with tears at the end but I couldn't squeeze even a few tears out because I was so glad it was over and believe me, I cry at everything.  So read it for yourself and see what you think.  I was not impressed.  Moving on.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R39C8RATHHM3WL?ASIN=014242417X	One of the more tolerable romance novels.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The delivery company delivered when expected and my book was in great shape, so I have no complaints there. As for the book itself, it was decent. When I had time, I'd read it.It has a nice little story, good writing. I personally couldn't feel to much for the protagonist, Hazel, however. She just seemed too preachy with her real-truths and all around acting like she had everything figured out, and probably used to things being her way. In fact, quite a few of the characters felt pretentious, and I feel that Van Houten's character was a nice exaggeration of that same characteristic. I guess with the teenager characters it is realistic to write them that way, which is clever on the part of the author. Overall, it's a decent read. Definitely one of the more tolerable romance novels.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RU8S9AT1INFBU?ASIN=014242417X	It was worth it.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I decided to read the Fault in Our Stars because the girl (Charissa, i think) who makes my cream of wheat every morning was reading it, and she seemed really into it. I also follow John Green on facebook, and it's pretty much all he can talk about right now, since his book is on the big screen.<br/>I picked it up a few days ago, and read for about five minutes before I put it down. I wasn't into it. When I went to get my cream of wheat the next morning, I asked Charissa if she finished the book and what she thought of it. She told me that she cried for the last seven chapters. I decided to pick it back up, on the basis that any book that makes someone cry for seven chapters deserves one more try.<br/>I also cried at the end. Not the end, end, but the almost end. It was worth it.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1UQQ2IGM4N9S1?ASIN=014242417X	I Can't Believe it's Over	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I absolutely devoured this book. I had heard so much about it and had no idea what it was about, so I went in with a very open mind. I finished it in four days and when I saw the Acknowledgements, I honestly became sad. I didn't want it to end. I went back and read the last words multiple times, because I wanted to hold onto this story. This book is not light-hearted, that's for sure. But it's okay. Because the story isn't light in any way. I could read this book over and over again. I have never read something that was so eloquently written and heart-wrenching. The diction of this book is so sophisticated, but I never once felt lost or confused. Every sentence said exactly what it needed to say in the way it should be said. I am irrevocably and completely in love with this book.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R15TT9NADSFN26?ASIN=014242417X	Beautiful	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I don't normally write reviews, so there won't be any literary Insight here.  I'm now nearing the ripe old age of 50 and have over the last couple of years only desired to read/watch/do things that maintain my happiness level at a relatively high spot.  Even at the 10% read point(which my e-reader told me I was at for this book at the time), my instincts kept telling me, ""this novel is going to negatively affect your emotional well being, the story outcome cannot be good"". However, my curiosity, the largeness of the main characters, the emotional intensity of the protagonists story kept me going. Although there is indeed sadness which swept over me, my overall feeling at the end of this book was one of Gratitude and a Joy for life, no matter what cross I/we need to carry.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2AMJ0SGGH1E0C?ASIN=014242417X	Excellent book for teens!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is a book that is a very enjoyable read. Once you start reading, you almost don't want to stop. There are some parts throughout the book that can provoke some tears, frustration, or even anger for some readers. If you are a teenager who's looking for a book that's not ""boring"", I would highly recommend this. The main character, Hazel, goes through many of the same issues most teens go through in today's society and is someone who most teenage girls could relate to. She is, however, in the middle of her battle with cancer throughout the entire book. This is something that some teens may not be able to relate to, but she is a normal teenager other than that. It truly is on my top list of favorites on my favorite books; it just might become your new favorite book also.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RN9ECBXAGOSY6?ASIN=014242417X	My heart is aching	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is definitely not for the faint at heart. In all honesty, the book was a slow start, but all the advice that I can give you is don't stop. When you get to the depth of this amazing story, both Hazel and Gus find a special place in your heart, not as cancer patients, but as star crossed lovers. By the last chapters of the book I was in a constant river of tears. I felt a personal connection to them both and I felt the pain they did as if losing someone in my own family. I wanted to read the book before I watched the movie so that I could appreciate the story and the characters much more. I would recommend this book to anyone, no matter if this can personally relate to you or if you want to get lost in an epic love story. Stop whatever you are doing and read this story.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1PBIRN84UKPFN?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault In Our Stars- a book for everyone	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The book ""The Fault In Our Stars"" is one of the few books that i could never put down. At my high school we had a extra credit opportunity, to read a book and write a review on it. I've been told MANY times that this particular book was a must read book. I'm not all that into reading and books so when I say I loved this book it definitely means something. With the plot twist and the on and off relationships and the biggest obstacle, cancer. This book has a way of just drawing you in, and making you want to read forever. The main characters Hazel and Augustus go on a roller-coster of emotions, as they travel to Amsterdam to find the author of the book, ""Imperial Affection"". This book is meant for adults and young adults. I loved the book!!!!!!!!<br/>Cameron (15)</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2D6D25BXR5Y0I?ASIN=014242417X	Astounding	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book blew me away. I'm 14 and everyone I know was raving about this book, my 18 year old sister, my mum and all my classmates. They all said it was the best book they had read in ages. I cry at pretty much everything sad so I was apprehensive about reading it but as soon as I had read the 2nd chapter I couldn't stop reading. Yes I cried at the end but this just showed how real the characters were that I could get so attached to them. This book was inspirational because it told the truth about cancer. Not how if you are brave you will always survive, it showed sometimes the worst possible scenario becomes the real one and no matter how much you prepare yourself you will never be ready to die. It was beautifully tragic. I recommend this book to everyone over 12 who can read!</span>"

I read this book on the recommendation of my 15-year-old niece and I thought it only fair to read it since I've recommended so many books to her. But I wasn't looking forward to that. I mean, I know the sorts of books teenage girls like. I don't like sparkles, let's just put it that way.<br/><br/>Turns out I was wrong. This book sparkles with a truly human love and a touching sense of optimism. Considering its a book from the perspective of a 17-year-old girl with terminal cancer, that's a stunning accomplishment.<br/><br/>This book took longer than normal for me to read, mostly because I could only read when I had time to cry and recover. Yet, with all the tears, I finished this book with a huge smile on my face.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3RBM2MQYAAQ2E?ASIN=014242417X	I didn't just like this book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I didn't just like this book, I am in love with this book.  I don't even know what to say -- to quote the book ""My thoughts are stars I cannot fathom into constellations"".<br/>I loved Hazel and Augustus -- the way they talked, the way they interacted with eachother, everything.<br/>I loved the humor, and found my self simultanously laughing out loud and crying in spots.  I am an emotional person in general, but I think I cried this most during this book than I have in any other book I've read.<br/>It's the kind of book where you feel like you need to take a break afterwards, and can't start reading a new one for a while.  I need time to process and think about it!  If John Green's other books are a fraction as good as this one, I'm a fan!  Can't wait to read others.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R31RP9S2VVZ2FZ?ASIN=014242417X	The release of this movie urged me to read to book first	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I was amazed at how well and quick this story read.  The book used language far beyond the years of a sixteen and seventeen year old teenager, showing how terminal illness can truly make you grow up early.  It was a love story, but also built with compassion and truth.  Not only did I enjoy this book at my age of 38, my teenage daughter of 13 loved it.  And I must say this is this first book I have ever seen my daughter start and not put down until she had read the entire book.  She has never shown much interest in reading, but the details in this book make you feel like you are right there with the characters,  experiencing exactly what they are seeing and smelling and feeling.  I recommend this book for preteen and up.  I am very curious to see how the movie stacks up to it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R17CUL545Y6E73?ASIN=014242417X	Just Great	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is fantastic. I'm not sure how accurate it is, but it is genuine and witty. It is so well written (to me) and it makes you stop and think every now and again, which is a nice thing, even if the circumstances upon which you are pausing are grim. I would recommend this to anyone, but particularly to budding physicians. My husband has been accepted to medical school and I have been urging him to read it to get a feel for what some of his potential patients may be feeling and going through one day. (SPOILER AHEAD) Even though the book ended the way it did, I was left with no unanswered questions and had no regrets. Some books fail to pull everything together and leave you hanging, this one did not. So, stop reading my review and buy the book already, you won't regret it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2G5Q7Z2QHYEE9?ASIN=014242417X	I cried	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I cried after I read this book but not because it was bad, no because it was one of those books that truly captures you and makes you  realize that life no matter how short it is is a miracle nonetheless.  One of the main ideas that the main characters contemplated was leaving a mark on the world, and it truly makes you realize that despite all output desire to leave a lasting impression we probably won't be remembered but we should still try to do things that are memorable. This book explores the possibility s of life after death. This is an amazing book that I bought for my kindle and I had it.finished in four hours because it captured me so. It will tug at the heartstrings and most likely make you cry but it is a magnificent book that every one should get a chance to  read.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RIHSUWPX8FKQV?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Although the characters in this book are ceaselessly searching for the sequel to what Hazel Grace Lancaster calls the most perfect book about death they find themselves in the most amazingly factual book about falling in love while dying.  The characters in this book demand your attention while walking you through their deaths.  It will provoke tears of both joy and sadness while causing you to reflect on your own mortality. It is not for those who believe death is on the other side of a door that only opens for new admissions. I love this story, it resonated with me on a level that few stories ever will.  I will be inspired by these characters for the rest of my life, knowing that I, too have known love of this depth and lost it .  But some infinities are longer than others.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RXT8BRE9VLMQH?ASIN=014242417X	Writing at its very best!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">So I just finished The Fault in Our Stars, and I'm absolutely blown away! I'm a huge reader so I've read an Insane number of books. But I can say with total honesty that this is probably one of the best books I've ever read!!! John Green is a true poet. From the very first page I was hooked, and I stayed that way until the very last. I don't think I'll be able to get this book out of my head for a very along time(if ever.) But I will give warning this book is a tear jerking, heart wrenching,<br/>Laugh out loud ,and crying the next kinda book! Don't worry though it's worth ever tear(and that means a lot coming from me considering I'm a total softy and I usually avoid books that don't have a happily ever after.) I could probably babble on for hours about this book, but for the</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2F53OIZSG1D8X?ASIN=014242417X	My husband and I both LOVED this book!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">My hubby and I were on a long drive and couldn't get any radio stations to come in so I suggested I read the book I was about to start aloud. The plan was just to entertain ourselves for a few hours but were thoroughly invested by the time we reached our destination. We continued our reading adventure laughing and crying while we took this journey with Hazel and Augustus. On a side note- its VERY hard to read this book out loud when you have the huge lump building in your throat before you sob your eyes out lol. After we were finished with the book, I looked up when the movie was coming out and it happened to be that very weekend. We went and got to revisit the again. I liked it so much I ordered another copy and sent it to my mom and my mother in law. Really fantastic book!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R71M8E68IQBA0?ASIN=014242417X	A Great Book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I enjoyed this book very much. I thought it was a beautifully written with real life perspectives. There was no fairy tale ending, but that did not bother me one bit. It still spoke of life and love and how they endure in the end no matter what. I had read some of the reviews before buying it and since I have never read a book before by John Green, I felt no prejudice in comparing it to any of his previous works. And the teenage aspect I didn't find was horribly unrealistic. I found it completely believable that teenagers faced with bigger problems than the normal high school drama would be mature beyond their years. In fact, I would almost expect them to be. I found their unique banter quite amusing. There were a few editing errors but nothing that kept me from trucking on.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2TGDDL5YJSDQT?ASIN=014242417X	enjoyed every dying minute of it	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Cancer is freakin' scary and kills people daily. This book gives you an inside look into a few lives that are far too young to deal with such terrible death sentences. You will have moments where you will want to read and reread particular sentences because they are incredibly thought provoking. The two main characters Gus and Hezel will make you fall in love, break down and cry, laugh and help you understand that life is a side effect. We are all here to die, but everyday is a gift no matter what. Don't waste it because so many people in this world don't get the chance to live past being a teenager. This book is like a gift that reminds you that love is stronger than it all! The Fault In Our Stars will live in you long after you read it. It will become a part of your DNA.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RC9V55MP9AQJ9?ASIN=014242417X	One of my faves of all time	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I take public transportation during the work week, so I am constantly reading books on the bus. I hated pausing my book when work started because I enjoyed this book very VERY much. Though, I admitted I had to pause reading while reading some of the sad parts or else I would've been bawling in public.<br/><br/>I highly suggest this book to strangers, friends and family. I've told my mom and friends to read it because I know they'd enjoy it. It's a beautiful, yet sad and arguably realistic story (realistic because there may are young teenagers growing up ill-stricken out there. it's tough already to grow up as a teenager, but having to deal with an illness is a very sad and realistic reality for some teens out there.)<br/><br/>Hazel and Augustus has a place in my heart.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2WZV6ARCKF0UL?ASIN=014242417X	Wow	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I was very hesitant to read this book. It doesn't fit into the typical genre that I enjoy (light reads, chick-lit, happily ever after romances, smut, etc...). After finally giving in to the constant pressure by friends and Goodreads, I clicked my 'one click buy' button, hoping and praying I would not regret spending almost $8 on an e-book. I usually pass up books that are $3.99 and up! With the amount I read, I cannot afford to buy $8 books. But prices are no longer an issue for me. After reading this extraordinary book, I have no desire to read again. How could any book live up to this one? I finished it in 6 hours. After throwing out my enormous pile of tissues, I wandered aimlessly from room to room in my house. I no longer know what to do with myself. Read this book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R203RE73TEUUQL?ASIN=014242417X	Books that make you cry	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I hate books that make me cry. I avoid them as if they are ridden with a deadly plague that has no cure. I even vowed never to read this book, but... I am taking a YA lit class, and you guessed it this book was on the reading list. And I was right, this book did make me cry. Fortunately, I was not in public so I was saved that embarrassment. It was touching and the characters drew you in and made you care about them. John Green has a wicked sense of humor, and it shines though in the witty banter between Hazel, Issac and Gus. I loved all of the literary and historical references especially Anne Frank. I don't know if I have been converted to be a John Green fan since I am still shuddering over the first two chapters of An Abundance of Katherines, but I did like this one.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RAB095RIU6N4T?ASIN=014242417X	Quick and entertainng read.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The characters are all very ordinary people with an extraordinary connection.  Thoughtful, romantic, angry, grief stricken, emotionally out of control but somehow still in charge of themselves, being themselves and together.  We are all born to die.....some just have more time than others and some waste away the life that wants to be lived.  I read this in two sit downs.  Probably appeals to a young adult age group but I thought about the parents, too.  As in life, death has a profound effect on the ones who have to watch  their own children suffer and go through dying. It should not be that way, never should a parent have to experience the death of a child.  It should be a rule but as the book is titled ""The Fault In Our Stars"".  Overall, I recommend this book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3NRM7R2M5SNV6?ASIN=014242417X	another Midwesterner	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Such a well written and witty book. I loved and cared about the characters like they loved and cared about theirs. My four star evaluation - to en Existentialist means nothing- but is the reason for it. Where I stumbled with the kids over all the metaphors and deep existential thoughts, I, like the kids in their book, am frustrated with the ending. I was amazed that Faith (capital F) was so dissed! When the cancers were dealt with so agonizingly truthfully, the one thing that made me crazy was the absence of God. I've known a lot of people with cancer, and not one of them followed Nietzsche or Sartre. Where the kids were pulling for an ending- I found myself pulling for Heaven! Ack- how painful! But... loved the kids and their families- Existentialism not withstanding.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RSCNURIMKMVDY?ASIN=014242417X	Really Great Book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is a fantastic. I enjoy the way the author descried the different treatments are available for people with cancer and the different types of cancer. The uses of the modern lingo that are used by teenagers is really well used. I feel like anyone from junior high to college can relate to this book as well as someone with a diagnosis. I chose this rating because I really think it was an amazing story. This is a story about growing up, sacrificing, love and drama. The real purpose of this story is to live in the moment and not for the future. I love the book more than the movie. The movie was great do not get me wrong but I love the book more because it went more into to detail and the movie, I felt left a lot out on how they met and what made her the way she was</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R19F776VTPH2HT?ASIN=014242417X	The Best Book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I have read alot of books. That may be part of the reason I am called a nerd. All over i had heard everyone raving about The Fault in Our Stars. To me it sounded like a depressing cancer book. After a while, I decided to sample it on kindle. After the first chapter I was hooked. I finished the book in less than a 24 hour period. I do not cry often while reading, but The Fault in Our Stars is an exception. I did not necessarily cry because it was sad so much as realization. This book is my all time favorite and has changed my outlook and point of view. So if you are asking if The Fault in Our Stars is worth reading, I will tell you that in my opinion this is the most astounding book I have ever had the pleasure of reading and rereading.<br/>- 8th grade book connoisseur</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R395QQA6X5ZXTC?ASIN=014242417X	Perfectly imperfect:)	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The fault in our stars is a book that teaches you about love ,friendship,and loss . This story means so much to me it's the best book I've ever read and I know most people want a sequel but i don't ,its one if those story's that end just the right way to where if a sequel was written it would be insulting cause the story is a story that needs to start the same way it was written and end the same way it ended it. Hazel Grace is not you typical Bella swan or katniss  Everdeen she didn't save the  world or anything ,she just told<br/>her  perfectly imperfect love story with a boy who she shared a  lovely but short infinity with. Read the book people it's a must whether you love reading or hate it this book is different it taught me alot this book was my little infinity.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RFW2E6H0HVL4L?ASIN=014242417X	A Love Story of Cancer	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I don't imagine this to be a book that very many men would appreciate, which is a shame. There are lessons here about life and love and illness and loss and grief. It's not your typical teens fall in love while dealing with cancer story, but it is. The kids who deal with their immortality, who have the threat of the angel of death hovering over them constantly...those kids reach a level of maturity that many adults have not yet reached, may never reach. I enjoyed the characters of this book. I enjoyed being with them on their journeys, however briefly. I recommend it to anyone who enjoys getting to know some kids who have reached a level of acceptance, who fall in love despite their dark angels hovering near, and who inspire the reader to look inward, further inward.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3U3B4PIJHK81O?ASIN=014242417X	Extremely different, but in a good way	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">(Below are the words of my 13 year-old daughter)<br/>The language for me could have been an issue, but in this case, the language was needed to understand the characters. The storyline is unique and interesting.  Did not feel like formula writing.  Not a typical ""cancer book,"" or a typical romance book.<br/><br/>(Below are my words)<br/>Perhaps a bit mature in content for my 13 year old who abhors bad language, but I think most of today's teens would find it similar to what they hear in the hallways of their school. The writing is blunt and unapologetic.  I too liked the book. The author creates vivid characters whose voices are real.  The book will leave your teen thoughtful, and that's a good thing.  Sometimes we need blunt words to see a different perspective.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RY7MIHKDF7HXM?ASIN=014242417X	Inexplicably beautiful!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Let me be rather honest before writing this review, I'm not an enthusiast when it comes to reading. However, when I find a good book, I can't help but look forward to reading more. I enjoy a good book that has an immediate attention grabber; The Fault in Our Stars  has that. Green has such profound diction, such intense depth, and a sense of humor that is intelligent and at the same time understandable. I loved how Green also mused his book on a topic that is rarely touched upon: cancer. He put so much heart into his characters filling them with such palpable emotions. I've read the book multiple times and have enjoyed it even more than the last time read! Just note, you're going to need emotional stamina to be able to make it to page 318 (the last page). Okay? Okay?</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R31G2TWBQ6KJEZ?ASIN=014242417X	Not your average teens!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Characters that don't behave like the typical teen - funny, engaging, inspirational, lovable. Love, love, LOVED Augustus Waters. Wanted to reach out and hug Hazel Grace. I am 32 years old but I enjoyed every word of this tale. As someone who has experienced living with a child who has a serious illness and losing that child, it reminded me of the value of life and how important it is to treasure those we love while they are with us. Loved Hazel and Gus' parents' commitment and dedication to their children. Isaac was a riot! I actually thought it would have been more of a tear-jerker but it actually wasn't. My eyes got misty at one point but I didn't bawl. Overall, very refreshing and different. Good to read about really smart kids for a change. Thumbs up, Mr. Green.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2QG85D9E2C3CV?ASIN=014242417X	Really good book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book took me through so many different emotions.  I laughed at the beginning and I fell in love with the characters in the book.  I cried a lot during the book, and I really do not cry at books.  There were things that were not so believable about the book, but it is an art of fiction.  That is the great part of books, they do not have to seem real.  To me, these characters were real.  I am an adult, I like to read all kinds of books and this is the first of this genre I have read in a long time.  I liked it so much, I bought a copy and sent it to a friend just so I could talk to her about it as she read it.  3 hours after I finished the book, I sit here writing this because I am still thinking about the book.  That, to me, make a book good.  I can't forget it.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RXH59YM5Z9FFU?ASIN=014242417X	never reviewed (great)	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Honestly, I've never read a romance novel due to the simple fact that I prefer the worlds of science fiction and fantasy, in which I can become lost and immersed in a world not here. Despite this, I picked up A Fault in Our Stars because of my admiration for the author, along with the praise given to the book from friends. The book immediately caught my attention, so I finished it in two sittings, split only because of school. The ideas held in the book struck a chord within me, and I came to see it not (like my sister defines it) as a romance novel, but rather a book revealing the pain of life and fate in ways I found helpful. It is a marvelous world and I personally believe that the majority of people will connect with it deeply on an emotional and personal level.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3OZFDM9VMKJU1?ASIN=014242417X	Outstanding	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars written by John Green.The main characters of this story are Hazel Grace and Augustus Waters.This story takes place in Indiana.They both meet in a group Therapy session for teens living with cancer.<br/>  The theme of the story is it's better to have loved then to never loved at all.The struggle was that Hazel didn't want to go out with because she didn't want to hurt him if she died.I thought this book was outstanding because it was about two teenagers who fall in love and are always there for each other.I do recommend this book to other teenagers because it makes you realize that you should be thankful for what you have.<br/>  I gave this a 4 because when I was reading this book it never bored me and mostly don't read these kinds of books.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R22UB58M2B6ODG?ASIN=014242417X	insight into my 5 stars....	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">At a quick glance, I kept going back to this book being about kids with cancer.  Who wants to read that?  Then I finished...and thought about it.  She was only happy when she lived.  She was happy with Augustus...she was happy in Denmark (although disappointed about her meeting with a drunk author who is running from his own demons), and happy to hear when she knows her mom will move on with her life when she is gone.  Hazel Grace is a life lesson for all: take what you can, when you can get.  Life may be filled with short moments, or long ones.  But each one deserves to be LIVED!  This book captured the good and bad moments and truly let the reader ride the roller coaster that is childhood cancer.  It's changed me.  Great books will do that from time to time......</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3I0XCH5X7VQIP?ASIN=014242417X	Crying out	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read the book in two days, I had to. Not that I was forced to, but I had to read this book as quickly as I could after I watched it. ( On a rented red box ) My sister and I watched the movie together with her bawling her eyes out and wondering if I was heartless because I hadn't cried. I don't know what reason to give why at the time I didn't cry, and yet I'm still not sure. But as I sit here trying to type through my blurred vision from all my tears, after reading this book I am truly happy that I have read it. This might not make sense but it is two in the morning. I would usually want to read the story before watching the movie, it didn't go as planned. Mostly because I didn't know the book existed and I only stumbled upon it by accident. I think it was fait.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2N7C0XK3W7K55?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in Our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">When going into reading this book I felt as though it would  be just another book about the unforgiving curse of cancer. I soon discovered that it was an elegantly written book for anyone looking for rediscovery of a life that was not there own. When reading this book I was very sad for Hazel as the author made  you understand the life of one in love, with a complicated relationship and life. As soon as (spoiler) Augustus died I felt as though I myself might too. I cried for the rest of this book because it was such an amazing story of hope,courage,and of course love. Thank you to John Green for creating such a story that all could be apart of and (hopefully) understand, just as I a 14 year old girl with only a few appearances at the medical center myself could...</span>"

You will shame literature if you don't at least try a sample.<br/>3. There is no such book as Imperial Affliction. I searched in vain.<br/>  Well, other than that cheery first and last bit there, I will proceed to give a review of a book that I have read , by my count, 3 times in approximately 2 weeks. This is a first-person narrative of a sixteen year-old girl named Hazel Grace Lancaster. Hazel has Stage IV Thyriod Cancer which has spread to her lungs. When Hazel meets Augustus Waters she slowly becomes friends with him... then something more.

TFIOS transports you to another dimension in which you are residing alongside Gus and Hazel through their quirky conversations, ups, downs, and everything else this world has to offer them. Green's goal to create a comedic yet tragic ending was carried out amazingly.  I am usually very picky with the books I chose to read and most times find that books that are ""popular"" are also uninteresting and well... much like pop music: attempting to please a wide audience while forgetting to make the story REAL mostly resulting in the story becoming FAKE. Well this is by a  long shot not the case with this cleverly written novel. This fast paced yet not suspensefull or thrilling book will get you hooked immediatly.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RATCNX73NVRXN?ASIN=014242417X	A Touching Novel	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I can read this book over and over again (and I have) and never get tired of reading it. I have read it about 3 times already and still my eyes start to water and I'm almost crying when Gus dies. It has an amazing twist to it too. Because in the beginning you think that Hazel is going to die because Gus was in remission but then his cancer comes back and he dies and Hazel lives. Gus gave Hazel an infinity within her numbered days. She was grateful. She liked her choices. He liked his. They were the perfect couple and also an imperfect couple. They were perfect for each other while also being sick with cancer. The Fault In Our Stars is an amazing book that will bring readers to know what people who have cancer are going through, while also being a fictional book.</span>"

He's then one who brings Augustus into the scene, and he was briefly mentioned as a childhood friend of Augustus as well.

You felt like you knew the characters and really wanted to. You felt for them and everyone going thru what they did and are!<br/>I loved the Love Story, Hazel and Augustus were teens but they got to experience it first hand before either of them passed.  I felt angry at Peter in the beginning but I knew there was a reason to his drinking. I really felt sorry for him, I know there are people going through the same thing.<br/>Now to see the movie!!</span>"

It's a page turner and definitely much easier to read.  I've been a pretty healthy person my whole life.  Although I do have some minor problems like eczema and different kind of allergies, living with canceer is a completely different story, not to mention how it impacts your love ones around you.  The book opened up my eyes to understand a small group in the society that pursue their lives with a complete different focus and priority.  Maybe we should treasure our health a little bit more?  Maybe we can use our limited time on earth a little bit wiser?  Maybe we can try to make a difference to this world?</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R19YZEEHZCR0Q4?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault is not in John Green	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I know this is a Young Adult novel but it doesn't read as such. The author avoids the ""over explanation"" of every single thought, action and description. Instead, he SHOWS us through the characters word and deed. His simple, unique prose lets us really into how it might feel if we were dying. Though his main character shows irony, sass and sarcasm with a light but funny touch. I loved it. I did feel the Van Houten part was a bit hoky and a device used to give the main characters a trip abroad but I didn't care.<br/>I feel in love with Hazel and Gus and I have to say I was caught unprepared for the ending. I really wasn't looking for that and wow did it knock the wind out of me. So sad but yet hopeful. I want to read everything John Green has written!</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The fault in our stars, by John Green is a great book. In the beginning it talks about the main character and how she is living with cancer. Bend in the middle it it's about how she falls in love with another kid from her therapy group thing and they go to meet her favorite author. In the end tragedy strikes hazel as her beloved boyfriend has cancer as well. This book was recommended to me by a lady at the bookstore. My favorite part was when they both fell in love with each other. My least favorite part was when she found out that her boyfriend had cancer. I did and then at the same time did not enjoy this book because of the ending. Overall this is a fantastic book and I recommend this to all of my friends because it's not like a fantasy book it's reality.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1FCZ9H0KZADPT?ASIN=014242417X	I didn't cry.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I really liked reading this book. I loved the characters. This was a very beautiful love story that will be remembered. I did not cry because everything that happened, the author prepared you for. If you have seen cancer work through a person before then you know that death is sometimes the only option. I didn't cry because I, like Augustus Wasters believe in capital S-Something after death, and when you have been fighting cancer for so long death is almost a comfort. No more suffering. The possibilities of the afterlife. These characters knew they were going to die but they enjoyed the beauty of life and they enjoyed each other and the people around them, and in the end I believe that is all that matters. We all die. We need to love like Augustus and Hazel.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1806D3XM31QGL?ASIN=014242417X	I never have met two teenagers who speak so eloquently and are so well read.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I didn’t get all emotional over this book but that is not to say I don’t like it. I think this book was beautifully written and as my sisters says, very ‘quote worthy’. Its true there are so many quote moments it’s just not funny.<br/>It has finesse and elegance and complete control over every facet of the story. For YA genre you don’t usually get this standard of writing and I think that’s why it has been so successful. And great for the promotion of the YA genre!<br/>Not only that, but is a beautiful illustration of the unfairness of life. Of the fact that we aren’t and life isn’t that special, and making a big a splash doesn’t really change that.<br/><br/>Read my review on my blog: https://bonnievbrown.wordpress.com/2014/08/07/the-fault-in-our-stars/</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">As there is a movie out at the moment I had heard various critiques of both the book and film referring to the story as being cheesy, over sentimental, ""the Twilight of cancer stories"" (which I assumed to be a negative).<br/>What I actually found on reading this book, was a sad tale of love and inevitable loss. For some it might be easy to forget that so many teenagers are deep thinking, questioning and sentimental; I haven't forgotten this and in my 32nd year I still have some of these qualities myself. So this might explain why I didn't find the story overly sentimental, and certainly didn't find it cheesy.<br/>It made me smile, laugh in places and cry in many other places. It caused me to think and to feel; in my opinion that's what makes a good story.</span>"

It's a story of two cancer-stricken teens, trying to find their purpose in this universe, even with their fatal diagnoses. Along the way, they help their friend adjust to blindness, seek out the conclusion of a novel in Amsterdam, and fall in love.<br/><br/>I won't give away much else, but I can say that even though this title is very blatantly labeled ""young adult"", John Green does such a work that all ages can enjoy. I can guarantee you will laugh out loud and cry and fall in love with the characters, such have I.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3Q3F0U6B1LKTR?ASIN=014242417X	Okay? Okay.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I live with a Nerdfighter. She was BEGGING me to read a book of John Green's. Obviously, I've heard about TFIOS. I started out with Looking For Alaska (great read) and then followed with this.<br/>It's a tearjerker, that's for sure. Even though you kinda know where this is going, it still keeps you involved with the characters. I mean, how can you NOT fall in love with this love story. It's rare for me to get that involved with a love story, especially with teenagers. Usually ones I read about make me want to throttle them (looking at you Divergent).<br/>This review is going to be lost in a sea of others, but from someone who is highly critical of YA books, this is one of the best I've read. With a difficult subject, you might even learn a thing or two.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RNZIGC8FA1D3C?ASIN=014242417X	Not a fan	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read this book because I'm one of those people who if I find out a book is being made into a movie I like to read the book first.  I didn't look at any of the reviews for the book as I like to make my own decision first on whether it is good or not.  I have to say I don't know what the fascination for this book was.  It was long and dragged out in many spots and I only finished it because I really wanted to see what happened at the end.  I skipped so many pages in the book and even doing that it still dragged on and on. I'm sure they've made the movie more dramatic just to keep people interested.  There were spots in the book where it was emotional and I did cry, but all in all I was not a fan of this book.  I really wanted to like it but just couldn't.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RAAQ4H56QZODB?ASIN=014242417X	To Be or Not to Be	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read this book because a movie is coming out. It kept me reading and on the edge. The author used song titles and Shakespearean references, mixed philosophies and poetic pieces. Some of this was too deep for this mind. I didn' t know if some of the references were to real or fictionalized works.  It is a tale of finding peace in the face of terminal diagnosis for two teens. If you have ever read a book and wondered periodically if it was actually a teen book, then this fits that category. But then you come across some swearing,behavior and personalities that change your opinion.  I think I would rate it similar to My Sister's Keeper. That book and movie were a bit broken down in interpretation, and I suspect the movie of this book will go down that path</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R23YOUBKONMPZQ?ASIN=014242417X	Brilliant, moving and awesome!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was actually a choice on my daughter's high school,  freshman, book list. I home school her so in order to effectively help her, I read the book also and I so glad I did!  This is a wonderful read for all ages (teen and up). You very easily feel the emotions of each and every character. It takes you through the struggles of a teen with cancer, who is just waiting for that day to come when all the pain ends; when she is no longer a burden to her family and friends. Then alas, she discovers that she can live and love an it's ok to do so. This book will make you smile. It will make you cry. It will make you think about your destiny and how you intend to approach the rest of your life. I read this book in 3 days. I could not put it down. I loved it!</span>"

You will get to know the characters like no other ambitious reader. This is no book that spends the whole time saying "" life is life and be thankful"" this is a book that creates a devastating reality. Lets face it, we all want a book that ends with happily after. But thats not this book, its ten times more. Its a book that makes you think, laugh, and cry ( I did :) all at the same time. And if you dont want to read probally the most exhilerating book of alk time, then yes, pass this god dang book to someone who will read this. Someone who will throw all of there real problems just to read every letter printed on the page. So yes, this is a five star, and yes it is the best book ever to be written on paper!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2GE1PFKS1DG2N?ASIN=014242417X	Geared toward teenagers and young adults	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I purchased this book based on all the good reviews and hype surrounding the movie.  I agree that the dialogue spoken by the characters isn’t really the way teenagers talk.  But teens faced with a life-threatening illness who spend a lot of time around adults and in hospitals may be more mature, so I will give them that.  I am halfway through the book and wouldn’t mind if I never picked it up again.  I don’t really care what happens to the characters.  But I am reviewing the book from a 60-something perspective.  I think teenagers and young adults would find this book much more appealing and in fact that may account for the 25,000+ five star ratings.  From an older perspective, it is just okay.  But it is a fast read, so I haven't invested too much time.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R17D2OIZZY3L26?ASIN=014242417X	True portrayal	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">An extremely raw reality of cancer...at times it hit a little too close to home and I had to put the book down and mentally prepare myself to read on, but I think that's the point of the book. It dives into some pretty heavy philosophical thinking about death, life, and even just trying to get by as a teenager. I thought it was beautifully written and easy to read but did not really like all the sarcastic back and forth between the main characters, at times I thought their tone was arrogant and even though it brought some comedic relief to the intense plot it seemed very obvious that an adult was writing the dialogue and it was not the voice a teenager. Overall though I think this book is a great read even though I am still haunted by the reality of it.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RZEGTYDWMFPSN?ASIN=014242417X	my heart in someone else's words	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I cried through most of this book, not because it was sad but because it was amazing. I have donated platelets for 8 years since a girlfriend had melinoma. As someone who hasn't had cancer it gave me an insight into how we struggle to say and do what is right to those who have cancer. Platelets is a way that I don't have to worry about hurting someone with insensitive remarks. We all struggle through the life we have been given but cancer patients have a special insight to how to live right. I pray for anyone who reads this book that they will take it to heart and not shy away from those who just need our presence. Help us to enjoy each sunrise, each breath and every scar. My thanks to John Green for this very encouraging book. May God bless your work.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1T7G1O7GZCNVL?ASIN=014242417X	AMAZING book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I purchased this book after seeing the trailers for the movie, the story seemed very interesting and whenever a book is made into a movie just read the book before seeing the movie. Needless to say this was and absolutely amazing book. I bought it around 4 in the afternoon and had finished it by 8 the same evening. Be forewarned this is not a book with a perfect happy ending but it is incredibly well written and pulls you in from the start. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants a great if sad story. Be warned when you start it you are likely to not want to stop reading it and like me will likely finished it within the day. You will grow very attached to the characters and will cry more than once. Great writing, great story, and great emotion.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1OYKDDGWH03GU?ASIN=014242417X	A Perfect Read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is the story fo 16 year-old Hazel and her relationships with a hot boy, her parents, a book and its author, and cancer. Both Hazel and the hot boy, Augustus, have cancer. Well written, the pace is steady, and it uses well-timed humor to maintain a tenuous levity and a balance between hopelessness and hope, even when it's sad.<br/><br/>Unlike lots of books today, deep themes are introduced about life and death and living. And friendship and family and how a book can change your life. It made me cry. I hope the movie does it justice.<br/><br/>It helped re-appreciate several things. One is I'm grateful that although both my husband and I are cancer survivors, ours are treatable. He's FOC, I'm in remission. Also, that our children grew up healthy.</span>"

Im not even going to bother reviewing it because just like what one friend of mine once said (they were talking about Perks of being a wallflower) ""no words can ever do it justice"". It's brilliant and definitely my favorite book of all time and if you still haven't read it then ,hate to break it to you, but your life is meaningless, no joke. So What are you waiting for? Go get a copy already! And be warned you'll be crying all over the place ,so keep some tissues close by your side.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3LPRXZCUJRZ1W?ASIN=014242417X	No Fault In This Book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I'm pretty sure everything has already been said about the greatness of this book. I absolutely loved The Fault in Our Stars. The humor, the characters, the heartbreaking storyline and the sweet love story made this book stay with you long after you read the last page. This was just such an enjoyable book, and yes, it made me cry... a lot. This instantly became one of my favorite books and one I would definitely reread. My ONLY complaint would be that I spent the entire book praying it wouldn't end midsentence... But The Fault in Our Stars most certainly deserves all the hype and love it's been receiving! For parents- there is some sexual content, some bad language, and themes that may be too mature and difficult for some tweens/early teens to handle.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2KNE1BYRV5L67?ASIN=014242417X	Contrived Wit & Quirk, but overall good idea	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Okay, I love witty, quirky books and films. I really do.  But the conversations that happen between teenagers in this book are way too witty and quirky for even the wittiest and quirkiest of teens.  It feels contrived because they are constantly spot-on with the wit to the point where it's just too much - no one talks like this in real life.<br/><br/>It would be a great book if it were more authentic and true to how people really communicate.  I appreciate the overall theme and concept of the book, but it isn't played out very well.  I can see why teens like this, though, and it has some good twists and turns that make it interesting.  I enjoyed it more after the first few chapters and when I accepted the slightly artificial nature of conversations.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3PYBH7F7QQ3NE?ASIN=014242417X	I too fell in love	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">As I read about 30 pages I was hooked. Could hardly stop. The first night I downloaded the book I stayed up till midnight reading nonstop. I finished this book in 4 days. I've never done that before but it was great. When I got close to the end I started making myself busywork so that the book wasn't really over. But I had to continue reading. As I did I cried. I admit this. Nothing wrong with crying because you attach yourself to a character.  I never cry while watching a movie. They don't allow you to reach that emotional connection. In a book you travel through the adventure. Only two good books have made me feel that. This book is a book that will stay with me for a long time. Thank you for bringing my with you on this journey. Completely enjoyed.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1Y9JZXHTDONDE?ASIN=014242417X	So Damn Good	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">My 13 yr old daughter simply said, ""Mom, read this."" Few words are normal out of a teenager but her emphatic concise statement and the fact that she kind of randomly shoved a book at me while out shopping for winter gloves meant I was going to do as told. So, turns out, my daughter and John Green are brilliant. While initially concerned about the subject matter, I got over it right quick thanks to the tone and great dialogue. At 3:45 in the AM when I was on a mission to finish the book I found myself for the first time ever laughing hard while crying. I was impressed with my new found ability AND that John Green made it happen. I'm a new fan. Young and old should read this book. It's my go-to Christmas present for friends and family this year.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R26OGTU9TGGRXW?ASIN=014242417X	John Green beautifully captures teenage cancer survivors with love and care, but too much pretentious dialogue.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Overall, I truly enjoyed this novel once I got past/tolerated every character's pretentious dialogue. John Green makes your heart break because you feel real empathy to their fictional lives. Cancer is awful yes, but Green goes out of his way to provide the many faceted struggles of young cancer victims/survivors/deaths. He approaches this difficult subject with care allows for love even for the dying. I really appreciated his take on this subject and glad he brings it all the more into the light of truth in all its harshness. Great novel that I'd recommend for ages 13-30+ while leaner towards the younger teen demographic due to the romantic plot with cancer as the setting in a sense. It has its faults, but John Green's stars still shine as the same.</span>"

And, as always, was able to get more details that were not in the film.<br/>This story is so much more than just a cancer story. It's about love, acceptance, loss and hope. This book, and it's film, are great.<br/>You'll laugh and you'll cry but, most of all, you'll bond so much with these characters that you'll ""befriend"" them and experience all these emotions right along with them.<br/>I highly recommend this book, and it's film, to anyone who is up for an adventure and that emotional roller coaster I talked about.<br/>Grab a box of Kleenex before opening up this book. You're gunna need them.</span>"

It was a very good book, It was a great book for us to be reading together. We were able to have an inpromptu book club chat durung reading. The characters ar well developed. They are perfectly imperfect. The know mortality and that death in knockin at the door. Its how they handle it all that is captivating. The allow each other to live out thier fears and feelings. They find themselves and respect thier peers. in the most juvinile fundamental way . it brings tears to your eyes, But fear not,,They kids have it going on, You fall in love with them all. and want to help,  But no worries, They have this!</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">They tell you from the beginning what to expect in this book, But expect the unexpected as you find yourself holding onto hope.. A beautifully written book which shows and reminds us that love is and still can be so pure at the core of itself.  I loved that the characters were each so unique.  Well written, perfectly described, I felt as I knew the characters.... Each character, got into your heart or your head and you end up feeling like you know them.  My favorite part is that it's is written from a perspective without judgment.  Each character is different and embraced for who they are... Without giving anything away... You'll find yourself hoping against hope, hurting along with them, and seeing beauty in the most unlikely places.  Well done!!!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3J1NXO4HN00WD?ASIN=014242417X	A beautiful read.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is a phenomenal book with brilliant sarcasm. I love the interwoven philosophy and clever lines that linger hours after the words were read. It's wonderful to read a YA book that challenges the reader to look up things they may not be aware of, and to enjoy a book with poetic style and words over five letters long. My daughter loathes reading and swears this is her favorite book. I thank Jon Greene for this immensely.<br/><br/>You don't realize how much you love the characters until you reach the end, and then the thought of the book being over in less than a hundred pages is overwhelming. This book is so good that that it made me tear up, and I reserve the practice of tearing up for only the rarest of occasions. Reading this book qualified.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RHWGXE56UUOX4?ASIN=014242417X	I Can't Think of a Creative Title!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was a gift to read. I don't think I'll ever be able to put into words of how amazing this book is to me. Unlike other books which usually end in a fairytale this book was different it didn't end in a fairytale to me, but it ended realistically and sometimes I need to realize that not everything in this world is a fairytale. John Green did a great job writing this book and always kept me at the edge of my seat. I never knew what to expect next and that's the kind of book that you'll want to read over and over again - just like 'An Imperial Affliction'. This book has inspired me to be grateful for what I have because life is too short to ponder on what we don't have. I hope you like this book as much as I did, it is worth the time to read.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R20VI7AM6X4M66?ASIN=014242417X	It's Nobody's Fault	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Who didn't like this novel?  This was a very well written story about a very sensitive subject that not everyone will be willing to read about.  But, it is so well done that I found myself enjoying it.  I hesitated for a long time to pick it up because children dying of cancer is such an hard subject for most people to tolerate, especially a parent of young people.  But it's well done.  It truly doesn't focus on death, but on life.  The character development is wonderful, feelings and emotions well written about and the end caught me off guard, but was very believable.  I'd recommend this novel to anyone thinking about reading it.  I can't imagine that the movie could be better than the book and so I'm going to wait for it to come out on cable!!!</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RSWJTVRIPCZC8?ASIN=014242417X	Deeply Touching	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I chose this five out of five rating simply because this book is worth it. I really finish a book I start these days. This one was my exception because I got involved in it. it had its moments of shear genius. I mean a book written in the point of view of a cancer survivor and a strong female and male lead. You will no doubt shed a few tears from reading this. I won't put spoilers in because reading this will answer all your questions. is it good? Yes, it is good. Is it worth reading in your spare time? Yes, it took me three months to finish but it was worth it. I'm going to re-read this again and I've also got to audio version to listen to while I work on my photography editing. Defiantly worth the money and the movie is next on my list to see.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2GLN5KGUJP9KW?ASIN=014242417X	Beautifully written! Movie follows book closely!! (love when that happens)	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This was an absolutely beautifully written book about a very sensitive subject: death. Written through the eyes of a terminally ill teen &amp; her now in remission teen boyfriend, the author was able to make impending death seem more like just another teenage rebellion &amp; in so doing, give the readers very powerful messages. Life is meant to be lived to the fullest &amp; not watched. People will let you down. Anger must be released. And finally, life will always find a way to surprise you.<br/>This book is a definite page turner and you will read it in one sitting.<br/>As a side note, I rented the movie after having read the book &amp; I was quite pleasantly surprised at how closely it followed the book. The actors were exactly as I pictured. Great movie.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3JNHXXEIQIMOA?ASIN=014242417X	Unrealistic dialogue, but good anyway.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read this book expecting to cry, and it definitely is a tear-jerker, but it also made me laugh and reflect on life.  It took me a few chapters to get into it, mostly because I was acutely aware that 16 year old Hazel's thoughts were much more like a 30 year old man's, than mine at 16.  But, that being said, I don't think I would have made for a very good romance novel character at age 16.  This book was irreverent, honest, inspiring, and tragic, without being hopeless. The characters monologued on a bit much, but their thoughts were valid; I just think people are more likely to write those sort of thoughts out in a journal than express them in conversation.  It's a small critique, and overall, I still appreciated the characters and the story.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RLCVPGU991ZSQ?ASIN=014242417X	Heart wrenching	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">It's difficult to read with tears in your eyes...so it might be difficult to read this book at times. It made me reflect on how fortunate I am to have the simple things that I take for granted relating to good health, the ability to walk, breathe, see and experience life without the thought of it coming to an extremely early end and the deterioration that goes with it. The shortlived relationship of love and romance was heartbreaking, they had so little time together, they had to make the best of every moment, which healthy people often fail to do even though their lives could end unexpectedly, you don't have to be sick, it could happen in many different ways, so you shouldn't have to see death coming to appreciate life and make the best of it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R25HHSICBQS4S4?ASIN=014242417X	Best book i have ever read by far.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I know that there are probably a thousand or so reveiws on here saying best book i have ever read, but i have never ever read a book like this one before. Its so real its so right there that by the end i was questioning every choice i had ever made in my life. It blows my mind the amount of talent it would take to write a book like The Fault in our stars. I have no doubt that once you read it, you will be a different person by the time your done with it. And also i dont think i have ever cried so hard over a book. It makes you think man i have been so ungrateful in my life so selfish. And it makes you wonder how could such terrible things happen to such significant people. But anyways i promise this book it worth every penny and 100 times more.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R26CLFZ367JKEX?ASIN=014242417X	Poignant, thought-provoking read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I have to admit that the fact that many of my students were reading this book piqued my interest.  Labeled as young adult fiction, I did not expect the very mature story that this book contained. While I've known many people to struggle with cancer, none of them have been young.  This story certainly teaches that teenagers are not immune to the tragic effects of cancer; this is a very moving portrayal of the people behind the disease.<br/><br/>The most successful stories, in my opinion, allow us to feel a gamut of emotions.  Green's story functions on all of these levels.  Beautifully written with realistic dialogue spoken by unforgettable characters,  I would recommend this story to readers of any age looking for a memorable and moving read.</span>"

I knew it was going to be a sad book before I ever read it, but I wasn't prepared for how this book affected me. I have read many books in my short time on earth and I can really tell when a book is excellent.<br/> This is the first book that ever made me cry. That's right, I cried. Heck I cried in public because I really did not care what anyone thought. I really got THAT connected to this story.<br/> Now I'm not trying to depress you and scare you away from reading this book because you really must read this book! It's beautifully written and the characters are truly amazing. I loved them all. This book brought out the worst and the best in me and I hope many others enjoy it the way I did.</span>"

It is a quick read about 2 teenagers with cancer and their support group.<br/><br/>Hazel and Augustus had me from the very beginning of the book in the ""Literal heart of Jesus."" Their outlook on life made me reflect on how others view their life, including myself. This book had me laughing and crying on the same pages! While there is swearing and a brief 'sex' scene (where Augustus fumbles with his condom), the writing was so fitting and real.<br/><br/>John Green did an incredible job of the ending too! Eagerly awaiting the last few pages, you find out what you thought was written was something even better. A beautiful last gift for Hazel.<br/><br/>Can't wait to try another book from John Green! You will love it!</span>"

2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RAWAEKKQXXRT6?ASIN=014242417X	Finished in one day	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">My sister read this book and told me it was amazing. Me and her and a friend are going to see the movie in two days. So I decided to try and start and finish the book before then. Turns out, it didn't take much effort. I couldn't put the book down. I finished it in less time than I expected! What's weird is that at first, I wasn't sure what to expect, because everyone i knew had been gushing about the book for a while. When I first started to read it, I didn't find anything special about it. But as I read on, the realism of the situation and how the characters dealt with it hooked me. I loved Augustus's humor and Hazel's quirkiness. I fell in love with these characters and I fell in love with their story. Hope the movie does the book justice!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3PWKPKF9YMCF8?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing. I fell in love.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book just got to me. I heard about the movie from a friend and I just finished another book that I felt empty ending. I found this book and I just couldn't stop reading it. It was just supposed to be a substitute book. I was going to make it last long so I had something to read in class when I had nothing to do. Once I started I can't stop reading it. I ended up reading the book in two days. I only do that with books I get drawn to. Now that the book is over I want more. I'm 14 and I NEVER cry while reading a book but I cried so much. I fell in love with Augustus Water's character his personality is just amazing. One of my favorite books now. My phone is just decorated in pictures of The Fault in Our Stars quotes. Definitely recommended.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1ZQZGB9RE2D5X?ASIN=014242417X	An Amazing Book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I had to laugh at the reviews that said these teenagers weren't believable. I went to a Magnet High School and was surrounded by them. It is annoying, isn't it? Ha! Anyway, back to the book...amazing! I read it in one sitting. As a speed reader, I can do that frequently when I have nothing better to do, but on this occasion I HAD to...I needed to finish it before I could move on with my life. I really enjoyed the relationship between Isaac, Augustus, and Hazel. It reminded me a lot of my fellow wounded service members, especially the banter between them. I also enjoyed the book within a book that was such a huge part of the story. Although the ending was heartbreaking, I came away from reading this book feeling like I had witnessed a miracle.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1P3C41T32YL7G?ASIN=014242417X	Phenomenal	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">John Green has created an excellent work that addresses some of the big questions of death, most most importantly of life, in a way that makes the process incredibly enjoyable. I've read all of his other works (including that awful Zombie Novella), and I was not immediately intrigued with the description of his latest book. But after reading the whole thing in a three-hour marathon I can safely say that this is possibly my favorite book John has written. I was able to see a lot of the plot coming, but the basic plot details are not the important aspect of this book, the real story is how Hazel and Augustus deal with their place in the universe. Thank-you John Green!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R31RAHUB850AAE?ASIN=014242417X	Beautiful Story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Not all stories begin or end in fairytale fashion. This story does and it doesn't.  For 2 young people and their families Love unexpected certainly helps when a fairytale ending does not appear to be in the cards.<br/><br/>Very beautifully written,  ""The Fault in Our Stars""  will mean hope for some of us readers. It might not make much sense to someone whose lives have never felt or been touched by life threatening circumstances. However, anyone who reads it and is not touched at all needs to re-read it and try again.  If they have no feeling after that then they have no feeling at all.<br/><br/>I read this in one day , not putting it down.  It is a story of love and hope. The sadness is definitely there but the love softens that shadow.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R30MKQVS2YEHQ3?ASIN=014242417X	For a story that was based upon a book without an ending, I thought the ending was great	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I gave it a four stars rating for the most part of being a good read , and it kept me wanting to read more.  I like that I could get a understanding of Hazel &amp; Gus. You ended up caring for these two middle aged teenagers, that were given a not so sold poker hand in life, but they sure made it a very interesting hand to play.<br/> I would have maybe given it a five star if I didn't have to reread fifteen pages to grasp what just happened or who said that, or what the heck word was just used.<br/>I would recommend this books to friends, yes. I would tell them it's not a full up in your face love story. I would say it is a great story of two you people trying to make cancer not the center of life but, love dealing with cancer and fighting it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3VZ3VLWMA81HL?ASIN=014242417X	A good read...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I've read other Green books and, while I wouldn't call myself one of his followers, I think he writes with a realistic approach to teens and the world they live in.  This book is no exception.  Even though it deals with the devastation of adolescent cancer, it does so in a way that makes the reader root for the main characters rather than cry for them, until the end.  The only criticism that I have of the novel is the pathetic author that Hazel Grace and Augustus travel to Amsterdam to meet.  I just didn't understand the role he played in the teen's story or the novel: was he supposed to accent the destruction of the disease for families left behind or the power of a good book or something else entirely?  Other than that, a really good read.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R10IAB385PE08Q?ASIN=014242417X	Restored My Faith in Humanity and Makes You Appreciate Life	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book will explore all depths of your emotions... hope, laughter, despair, sadness, and most of all, faith. How John Green can write so amazingly in the perspective of a teenage girl is beyond me. He was able to take the thoughts of all young women and the emotional rollercoaster, and put it into beautiful words that will continue to tug on your heart strings throughout the entire story. You will NOT regret reading this book. I've had to explain time and time again to people who did not want to read this book... THIS IS NOT JUST A CANCER BOOK. That is a small piece of the FIOS pie. It is a book full of hope and will surely restore at least part of your faith in humanity. I know it did for me. I couldn't put it down and read it in a day.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3MOYF3IB5LJKF?ASIN=014242417X	This book is probably one of the best books I've ever read and I think I've read ...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is probably one of the best books I've ever read and I think I've read like a million books. John Green did an amazing job making me feel like i was living this story. I felt like i knew Hazel Grace and Augustus personally. Hazel was so miserable before she met Augustus and when she met him it was like she was a whole different person. Augustus was so carefree and fun that I felt myself wanting a friend like him. At no point in this book was I bored, Green makes every page so interesting. When the characters were sad i was sad. I cried during this book on more than one occasion and it is not easy to make me cry. I highly recommend this book to anyone that has a heart. I haven't met one person who read this book and didn't love it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R36FCIX15YXEAZ?ASIN=014242417X	Off to see the wizard	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is a novel about two teenagers with cancer who seek out the author of their favorite novel in order to resolve its ambiguous ending. Their journey is a bit like The Wizard of Oz. Their encounter with the mysterious genius is ultimately disappointing. Their true discovery is the relationship they create with each other along the way.<br/>Hazel, the sixteen year old, narrator, is afraid for her parents and close friends. What will happen to them when she dies? Who will remember her when she is gone and how will they cope with the painful memories?<br/>Unlike the fictional novelist Hazel seeks, John Green does answer enough of these questions to make our journey worth the trip. But bring your hanky, you will need it before you are done.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2Y9YQXED1PTPU?ASIN=014242417X	Beautiful.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Although I am not much into teen novels this was a book that was much more than that. It was about not only love but the beauty of love through disaster and disease and all the inevitable things the world throws at us that we can't control. This book was about loving until you can't breathe and then continuing  to love. Many would say they would want a sequel but I do not. I don't want to know what happened from here because  my heart is already full of the joy that they will be reunited, in one way or another. I want to read this again and again and cry again and again but not only from sadness but from the happiness that was experienced in the mist of all the sorrow. Please read this book and let yourself experience what I did, true love.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1EM3IAF3QHIPR?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in Our Stars, evidently has no fault.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is just a book. Regular cover, author, and binding. But once you open it there's so much more its a story,  a scar given to the world(you'll understand that reference once you read the book). It's an inspirational-filled book. Multiple directions I suggest, though: 1-Do not read in public place. May end up in a puddle of tears at the local coffee shop. 2- HIGHLIGHT 3-Tissues will be needed for reading, I suggest also that you keep your mommy's phone number on speed dial. 4- Learn. Take something away from this book. I know you most likely will. 5- Simply enjoy, but, remember, this book is a mere taste of the world of sickness some live in, yet they still live life, upbeat and honest and are okay with that. That's why we should be, too.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R29R5V2N607C0V?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in our Stars- the best book on earth	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was amazing because it showed you what you need to find in life before it's over. Life's too short to live it long. It gives you a fantastic story of love while teaching a great lesson. I would suggest this novel to young adults and teenagers. Weather your female or male, there was no reason you wouldn't love this book.  I gave it a five star because when I was done reading the book, right away I just got that feeling that you get after doing something that you have always been afraid of, and wanting to do it again. I just wanted to keep reading it over and over, because I felt amused by the story but wanted it to continue because it's so good. No matter your age, the biggest book I would suggest to you is The Fault in our Stars.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RS1GY98LMU9KX?ASIN=014242417X	Five Stars for The Fault in Our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I would not consider myself to be an avid reader. But this book grasped my attention and I couldn't put it down. I became so deeply connected to TFIOS, that I, shamelessly, admit to crying over this book. It greatly frustrates me that this book came to an end, but it ended amazingly. I would tell everyone to read this amazing book. John Green is truly a gifted writer. The whole story line tugged at my heart strings. Anyone looking for a good read and entertaining, yet beautiful story should read this. Not only is it a book about love, but also an outstanding example of life and its battles. Hands down this is the best book I have read. I look forward to reading more books by the talented John Green. Five stars is not enough for this book!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RGIGDGG9JO53M?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in my Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">""The Fault in Our Stars"" is like a romantic roller coaster of humor and sadness. The ending was fabulous, and I believe this will be one of the greatest book of all time. For all of the ladies reading this book, I believe no matter who you are, you can relate to Hazel Grace Lancaster. Surely not everyone has a terminal illness like her but we all have had a great struggle sometime. Patrick reminded me of my former Spanish teacher. Like how Patrick would constantly talk about his balls, my teacher would talk about her house in Mexico. The Venn Diagram humor I did not get however but that did that really effect my thoughts on the book. In a nutshell, this book is probably one of the most well written novels I have read in a very long time.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RDBBBEF1G74BF?ASIN=014242417X	I enjoyed the book so much that when I finished it ...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I enjoyed the book so much that when I finished it and turned to the front and read it again.  I've never done that!  This novel, written with young adults in mind, had the real voices of  creative, intelligent high school aged youth.  As a retired teacher of English in a magnet school for the arts, I ""knew"" these kids. John Green captured the slightly irreverent and ironic tone with which these young people faced the inevitability of their own death.  We could all learn something about death and life from this terrific story.  It's being/been made into a movie.  I hope Green's tender treatment of young people determined to live and love even knowing that their forever would last long enough. And this is true for love at any age.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1QK555JDFYIXQ?ASIN=014242417X	a wonderful treat	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">What a gift this book is. So much wit and whimsy and warmth. It is a book where the parodic ""I laughed, I cried"" rings true.<br/><br/>Two young adults happen upon one another in a cancer support group. They are both preternaturally wise, with the perspective of their own mortality always present.<br/><br/>In a way this is a simple book about two people moving tentatively towards loving one another. Yet they do it in the shadow of death, which adds an edge and a depth of truth to every conversation.  They each struggle with the physical challenges of their respective diseases, which color their activity choices. but their time together has a richness which confirms the adage, it's not the quantity but the quality that matters.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3G9G46IENBIZ3?ASIN=014242417X	this book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book, calling it just a book is an understatement, it should be considered a common knowledge story, like Romeo and Juliet, that we reference in everyday life. But putting it into a category with Romeo and Juliet allows it some similarities, but it's not the right fit. This story is written in a relatable tone that makes the reader become hazel in a away, causing us to feel the pain as she feels it and while we read it think of situations that may occur because we are feeling this pain. My review may not make sense because I am writing it at 2:19 in the mourning but I just want to say that I believe that this book should be taught in classes in school because it has given me a greater look on life, and everyone should experience it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2GUGWIGS6662L?ASIN=014242417X	Sad but lightened with humor	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Warm, realistic, well written story of suffering told with traces of humor.  Two young people fighting a cancer battle become inspirational to each other.  She introduces him to an author who has written an incomplete story and he introduces her to a video game story.  They text back and forth sharing insights and opinions of these two very different authors.  He learns that it is obsessively important to her to learn the ending of the incomplete story and arranges for them to take a trip to meet the author in Amsterdam.  They take the trip with her mother acting as chaperone.  You will enjoy the antics and activities that take place in Amsterdam.  This is a can't put down story.  Be prepared to stay up beyond your bed time to finish it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1W2QJBM7G9BJ?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing thoughts	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I am a blue collar hospital worker and being thought not to question those with names that after many titles, and letters after their names I stayed away from reading. But, somehow an intuition in me sparked a need to read, and that reading allowed me to go on many adventures, and soon it will to questioning, and after I began to question. I began to discover the possible joys that our way of life offers, freedom to the individual not to the group, church, or government. This book inspired such ideas of all men are created equal and the chance to purse arts, creation brings home the old biblical words of man does not live by bread alone. Such is the power of this book, I now understand why dictators either right or left feared education.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R17YS6KESBK2DC?ASIN=014242417X	Powerful and Engaging, The Fault In Our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Five stars is the highest this will let me rate it.  I feel as though this book deserves at least a ten.  I've read a lot of books, a lot of powerful books but this one has stayed with me.  It's raw and realistic and I couldn't get enough.  I read it in one sitting and I wish I had spread it out a bit more.  To even give a description of what it is about would honestly just take away from what's in this novel.  I suggest that you pick it up, you read it, and you take it all in.  Life happens in this novel one part good and one part bad.  Have a box of tissues ready because you're going to need them.  I'd never read or heard of John Green until this novel and now I don't know how I haven't.  His writing is brilliant, open, and conclusive.</span>"

But how can I put the beauty of this book into words?<br/>From the moment I shared my purchase and reading process online, people started 'liking' and commenting. They warned me I needed to prepare myself for something incredible, for something emotional. It was obvious Hazel and Guz's story touched a lot of people. But I didn't need the hype to realize that. From the first chapter on I just felt this was an important book. A book you will reread. A book you will tell future generations about. A book you will struggle to describe because it's just... perfect.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3VXQAA8DLOUO6?ASIN=014242417X	Read it, you won't be disappointed!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This was the perfect mix of funny, sweet, and sad.  I felt about every emotion in reading this book, and once I started I couldn't put it down.  One night when I told myself ""two chapters and then I'll go to sleep,"" I ended up staying up until 2am and finished it!  I sometimes work with children with cancer, so (even though it's fiction), it was great to read something from their point of view. Obviously every child deals with cancer differently, but this story was just so beautifully told.  I've been recommending it to everyone since finishing it! I don't know if I will see the movie- when I love a book this much I sometimes like to leave well enough alone and not ruin it with a movie I'll inevitably be disappointed in.  But we'll see.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1DF61UGE8A12R?ASIN=014242417X	Touching, Humorous, Witty	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">It's tough to find the humorous side of cancer, but this book manages to do just that. This is the story of two teenagers,(both with cancer) who fall in love and want nothing more than to just be well again. It's about their parents, who struggle with the harsh realities of having a child with cancer, and it's about a somewhat crazy, hard drinking, author from the Netherlands who somehow ties it all together. Considering the subject, you would think that the story would be overly depressing, but this book is surprisingly witty and funny. Don't get me wrong, it definitely has it's heartbreaking moments, (how could it not?) but it's also about love and hope, and it's a great read. I loved it from start to finish and I highly recommend it.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2AG7S2NULGMZT?ASIN=014242417X	the fault In our stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was a love story of epic proportions. But it was more than a romanticized fiction of a terrible disease it told a story highlighting the downside to something as bad as childhood cancer it didn't sugar coat it because like it said that's not how it was in the real world and that's not how everyone sees it when people think cancer they think loss and death not recovery and charities and amazing defeats of a terrible illness and this book showed that. Although it was a love story this novel went around stereotypes of men saving women from terrible deaths and showed reality dust to dust everyone is born and everyone dies there is nothing anyone can do to avoid it and these characters and this plot line gave that to the audience.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RQH2HXNO3L787?ASIN=014242417X	The book that takes you	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Honestly, I'm not thrilled that I adored this book. I read it so I could, in good conscience, see the movie. Unbeknownst to me, my heart would slowly be pulled out by pliers. I don't cry. And I cried. I did my best not to laugh, and yet I laughed. I really tried hard to not fall in love with Augustus and Hazel and Isaac, and yet I did. So hard. I guess what I'm trying to say is that this book will take you. You might struggle, you might fight, you might kick. But in the end, you will surrender to the charming pages that sneak up behind you and pull you into a headlock, not letting you free until you completely hand over all will. Enjoy the fight. And prepare to not want to speak or breathe or think for several weeks. Enjoy, my friends.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1KPHRRJ43ZYVC?ASIN=014242417X	A book for young adults only - NEVER!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">5 months into 2014 this is my book of the year thus far and I'm a 60+.  Written with compassion and a real understanding of the adolescent psyche I was entranced and deeply touched by the honesty of the present day teen.  Owning their reality with cutthroat honesty (a reality for which there was no quick fix) might be offensive to some (as depicted by some of the adults in the story) but it was so real, so honest and done so uncompromisingly but unaffectedly it revealed afresh the very different take the young have on issues that for other generations were almost taboo. Life is never easy but for some easy isn't in their vocabulary but reading this book is exquisitely easy simply because it is touches the soul and that's always a gift.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2OF2CN92UMSYL?ASIN=014242417X	The life changing book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Thу Fault in Our Stars is  #One Best Seller in all possible places and categories by right! This is an absolute life changing book, that will rip your heart apart, turn your soul upside-down and make you laugh through tears. It is terribly honest and true in every word. I wanted to highlight a quote almost in every sentence of every paragraph. It scares the s*** out of you and inspire at the same time. It stuck with it's powerful words in your head making you not only live through them, but feel through them.<br/><br/>My first life changing book was ""Heaven Has No Favorites"" by Erich Maria Remarque, than it were Premonitions series by Amy A Bartol, but in a different way, now The Fault in Our Stars. I am glad, that this book entered my life!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3GS98QXH68RMD?ASIN=014242417X	Great book!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I think I am the last person to read this book, however, I loved it all the same!  I thought the characters in this novel were so interesting and fun to read!  The dialogue and realism between Hazel and Augustus was incredible.  Although you know the story will be sad, seeing as how it revolves around to teenagers with cancer, the writing still allows for comedy throughout the novel.  This is the first John Green book that I have read, but I really enjoyed it.  There is a lot of hype surrounding this book, but I would still recommend picking it up!<br/><br/>For a more in-depth review, check out my book blog, A Nook of Blankets and Books!<br/>http://anookofblanketsandbooks.blogspot.com/2015/03/the-fault-in-our-stars-book-review.html</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R49X5UNKC8OSU?ASIN=014242417X	Utterly perfect	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Tho it says utterly perfect I have to disagree with myself. Are you living or are you existing? A quote from my mother's favorite movie, the family that preys. This book was solely based on this question and I can honestly say that hazel was existing before she met Augustus. They both made each other live. The sun seems brighter At night or the sun sets in paradise both explain the death of Augustus. Not just Augustus but rather his relationship with hazel. Hazel was terminally ill and was awaiting death. Augustus was once in a situation like that. That's is why their connection was so strong. But love isn't always a shout in the void and oblivion is now just a little less inevitable.<br/><br/>Ps.<br/>  I must also add I am a s***ty writer too</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3LBT48W6I9NT8?ASIN=014242417X	'Love Story' for the millenials	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">'The Fault in Our Stars' is a moving story about a couple of love struck teens battling cancer.  As one would expect from such a story, it's full of very touching moments.  A cynic would say it is a tearjerker.  Indeed, at times the author seems to strategically shift the story so to arbitrarily enhance the dramatic moments ... to the point of making this book rather unrealistic.  I also found the character development to be lacking, which is strange considering the book focuses very heavily on the two main characters.  An explanation might be in the book's target audience: young adults.  Sadly, I am anything but a young adult. ;)<br/><br/>Bottom line: ignore any real literary value here.  Read it, and have a box of Kleenex nearby.</span>"

Let me just say that I have wanted to read this book for a LONG TIME!! However I always felt like it would be a depressing read and or it wouldn't live up to the hype that everyone has giving it... Let me just say I was wrong!! First off I HATE books that leave you hanging, and throughout the book I could tell that that is what was going to happen... because of how much emphasis was put into the whole looking for answers to the AIA book...<br/>But I thought the ending was beautifully perfect!! It didn't drag on like most books like this do, although it did leave you hanging a bit... It was the perfect amount of hang so that you were both pleased and not excessively wondering what the heck happened...!!<br/>Totally RECOMMEND!!</span>"

I knew going it it would be difficult, it is not a book you would return to for the joy and happiness it brings but for the awareness of the pain that love brings. I began reading this book and it embraced me like an old friend even though we never met before, that friend you could sit with for hours and never run out of things to say. There was a lot of fore shadowing of how you believe the book to end with reference to AIA. Overall pain is meant to be felt and the universe demands to be recognized, we are all a passing on the face of it without as much as a second glance, and yet the marks we do leave are truly like a star in the heavens burning brightly in death for someone to remember</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RFD5AYDNO43SI?ASIN=014242417X	So pure	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">At first i wasn't this much into the book because a lot of people were reading it and felt like Star Trek or Lord of the Rings (just pick one). Then, i really close friend of mine told about the book, that it was sad but so great. And i thought that maybe i could read it in the near future. Well, it's been eight months and i've finally read it. It felt so close but i guess that's the thing about fiction. I got tell i wasn't all this concerned about the cancer issue all along. Not even in the end, i just think the book needed a really great issue and i guess cancer fits better. Well, this being it, i like to think the book it's about people interaction. And it really gets into it. Now i consider reading the other works of the author.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3743TCGKV0F9B?ASIN=014242417X	Thought provoking	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I am not a reader... not really. I had never heard of John Green or the new movie, until after I read this book. I was just looking for some entertainment one night and stumbled onto this book on amazon with over 16 thousand 5 star reviews or something like that. I coincedentally work in Indianapolis as a male nurse. I am a 44 year old father of 5 with one on the way who hasn't read a book in years. I finished this one in two days. It really causes one to pause and reflect on life and it's meaningfulness and it's meaninglessness. It may have been written targeting teens, but I really enjoyed it. I gifted it to my 17 year old daughter's kindle. When she's done we're going to watch the film. Buy this book, and you will not regret it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R31SFCHJ45OKBZ?ASIN=014242417X	best book read in so many years! five stars are not enough	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I'm not sure where to start for this beautiful book. It has left me speechless and unable to write anything because I know anything I'd write about this soulful book would not do justice to the story. It's beautifully crafted with the story of Hazel Grace who has cancer and meets a guy Augustus Waters (another cancer patient) and they both fall in love. Although I knew the book would have a tragic end, still, the conversation between Hazel and Augustus kept me smiling all the time. It was heart-wrenching to know that they won't last but I still hoped of some miracle. I simple loved this book and would recommend everyone to read it--no matter if you read romance or not...just read it. It will make you cry and laugh at the same time.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3MXSURWIM7I4J?ASIN=014242417X	Never has a book broken my hear before.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Let me just come out and say I was in complete refusal to read this book. Truly my 16 year old niece bugged me to read it a million times before I gave in and downloaded the book. I saw someone else's comment on how they don't act like real teenagers...well duh they are teenagers dealing with their imminent deaths who wouldn't be a sarcastic pain in the butt? I honestly read this book in half a day I couldn't put it down and I spent the last 5 chapters crying as I suffered through the heartbreak to the point where I had to remind myself these were characters not my own family members. This may be my new all time get the heck over yourself your life isn't that bad book which everyone should have to ground themselves back in reality.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R30A2VHNRIT268?ASIN=014242417X	The Book of Tears	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I am sorry that this is the only thing I could think to call it, but in a way, the years added to the absolute glory of our all. Does that make sense? This book was undoubtedly one of my top recommendations. And it takes a lot for a book to be more than fine in my standards, so trust me, it is something special. The way John Green writes is too realistic to not be taken on an emotional roller coaster. One of course that only goes up; only the best do. So let me say this, this book is more than okay, and so were all characters, plots, ideas and metaphors that make it up. These characters need to be remember by everyone, and if that is not a good enough reason for you to read it, than I do not think I could ever convince you further.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2YI41FY2HSSRQ?ASIN=014242417X	This book is perfect	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Fantastic book. It gives you an inside of how life is a cancer patient. John Green is a great writer so I expected nothing less than what I got from this book. He gives you insight  on life even if you haven't had to go through the situation yourself, detail on how each main character thought and felt almost all of the time. It really opened my eyes and I felt like I could relate to the situation although I really can't. But that within its self is the magic of John Green, isn't it? My one and only spoiler alert is you're probably going to cry or at least have your heart tugged  a little. The book doesn't end with a cliff hanger, thankfully! But does end in a bitter sweet closure. 5 stars for yet another amazing book by John Green</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RN0YDW4SXOJ0P?ASIN=014242417X	Appreciate Your Time!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars is a great read that makes you appreciate the little time we all have here on this Earth. Two teens meet at a Cancer Support Group that find commonality in their respective sarcasm regarding cancer and the Group's Leader. After they exchange favorite reads, their texting leads to visits then to a romantic relationship that brings out the best in each of them. They join together to help another group member and good friend when he has a meltdown. Reading how cancer affects each of these kids differently and how one simple act can make a the day of someone battling the disease both warms and breaks your heart. You find yourself rooting for the survival of the characters and wishing strength for their parents.</span>"

I'm a fan of John Green and it was recommended by my son and daughter in-law the Nerdfighters	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I wouldn't have read this except I'm a fan of John Green and it was recommended by my son and daughter in-law the Nerdfighters. They loved, loved, loved the book and I understand why: They haven't read as many books as I have.It's better than Love Story but it does invite comparison.  For what it is, it's above average (hence the 4 stars): Young Adult Fiction. Green does turn stereotypes upside down and the star-crossed teen couple are just about as articulate and witty as Green himself is. He does a credible portrayal of the point of view of a teen girl (sez me who hasn't been a teen girl lo these many years!). I would recommend this book to young adults of either sex, although I suspect it would be a hard sell to a lot of guys.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R37W3IF6RU6YY8?ASIN=014242417X	Beautifully written story with young adults mature beyond their years	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I've been struggling in this modern age of instant gratification with the patience to actually sit down and read a book from beginning to end. This one grabbed my attention and I began and completed the book within the same day. I thought it was beautifully written, much better than the YA dystopic novels that are currently all the rage. The one thing that I did have a hard time believing was what these 17 year olds did for one another in the story. Granted, cancer did mature them and I guess one could argue that disease is what elevated their maturity but I did have a difficult time believing. Nonetheless, it's a wonderful story that kept me engaged from beginning to end, almost like a modern day version of Bridge to Tarabithia.</span>"

I really attached to this book, I wish I had my own Augustus waters, I wish I was as intelligent as hazel Grace. The book was so well written and the reading level was outstanding I really really adored this book. This book made me cry so hard at about the last 60 pages. It made me  cry for something or for a book like I have never cried before, and that's a good thing. I really enjoyed this book and I could go on and on about how I loved it but I'm afraid it would bore you so I should end the review now.

I would recommend it for people who do not mind or need to go bacwards. Everyone grieves in their own unique way. Just have the tissue replenished and handy. The good thing I will say...is that I am more aware of how the cancer patient deals with their everyday dying. Rude and thoughtless comments were said to them. While there was well meaning from the speaker, the patient heard it differently. I learned. Thank you John Green. You reached inside a place that I thought was safe now.

I was constantly in awe of the author's ability to keep me entranced in the thought provoking dialogue of these two teenagers who were going though horrendous illness and finally found another person who could understand not only what a dying person feels, but each others unique and mature personality.  Their means of coping, many times stated in a humorous way, was still right on target and their ability to question the bigger picture was, too me, a good time to readdress end of life issues/living life to its fullest, etc..I have worked with ill and dying children in the past and found that their level of maturity and understanding of life far surpasses that of many adults.</span>"

But when I learned this I resolved to read the book before going to see the movie. I did so in 2 days. I would've in one but I had to go to school on between. Regardless I cried. I cried soft gentle passionate tears for a long period of time. This book is a love story for the ages. You get so invested in the characters and so invested in their love. As you read and the love story evolves you can't help but fall in love with each of the characters. You root for them. It brought out the hopeless romantic I didn't know was inside of me. I would greatly recommend reading this book. And out of respect for the author read it before watching the movie.</span>"

They started hanging out and fell in love, Her lungs filled with fluid and she was rushed to the hospital. She was so sweet and brought her flowers and things. She wanted to meet this really amazing author but he lived out of the country. So Augustus being a gentleman wants her to be happy so he uses his wish that he had for her. They went and the author ended up being a mean man and was very rude. They just went and explored the country for the rest of the time. They get talking and he tells her shocking news.

The characters are interesting and compelling, the dialogue is sharply written, the story pulls you in immediately and the arc of the characters draws you along.  It's emotional without being sentimental.  It explores deep truths without droning.  It's one of those books that you find yourself reading while you walk to the bathroom and then to the kitchen.  It's one of those books that you finish and immediately start reading again because you want to explore the deeper levels of meaning in the story the second time through.  And yes, periodically you'll laugh your a$$ off as well.  Truly one for the ages, John Green.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3ONHWQMBELNLL?ASIN=014242417X	This is a wonderful YA book. I would recommend to anyone.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Such a wonderful book and an emotional one, had a good cry, although I had my fair share of laughs too. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this and the narrator was perfect.<br/><br/>The characters all met in the support group or hospital and have or have had cancer and although this is the case, it is in no way doom and gloom all the time, it is sassy in places, snarky, funny, it has bite when it needs to have the bite associated with the 'Why the F* Me?' and it was just so right..... that is all I can say really, it all came across just right, the characters felt so real and I am still thinking about them.<br/><br/>This is a wonderful YA book. I would recommend to anyone.<br/><br/>Will be reading more from John Green</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3LP25HN8KF9CH?ASIN=014242417X	John Green Makes Me Cry	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This was the first John Green book I had read and I had no clue what I was getting myself into.<br/><br/>You meet Hazel, who thinks she's nothing special, and you meet Augustus, who thinks Hazel is everything special. What enfolds through this books is one of the most beautiful stories that I have ever read. You see what Hazel's disease is like and see the struggles she has gone through. Gus is like a breath of fresh air for her and gives her renewed hope. Gus helps Hazel make her dreams come true.<br/><br/>This book is a great read, not just in YA fiction, but in general. I have never cried so much while reading a book before in my life. John Green has a way of telling beautiful stories about young love with substance.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3D1DG3QL6E2VC?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing! Worth my money!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was very intriguing. It taught me the different viewpoints of others, new vocabulary words, and most of all, it taught me to be grateful for what I have. Not many people get to experience the roller coaster that is Life. Hazel showed me that Love is an unstoppable force and it can console you during your darkest hours. Call me indefatigable, but I strongly request for you to read this wonderful story. John Green is an extraordinary writer and he will blow you away with every word that he types. I would recommend this book to people of all ages and backgrounds (they have to be literate of course). The plot liken really fits into everyone's lifestyles and interests. GREAT JOB, JOHN GREEN!<br/><br/>Okay?<br/>Okay.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1SHXY9I7E23W2?ASIN=014242417X	This guy wont let you go	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Unless you deeply care about the story you wont do what this guy just did here. In the middle of literary set pieces he places these totally believable emotions that wont let you go unharmed. Trust me i would like to say many clever things or even rob him from his many memorable nuggets in the book but judgement might be slighltly impared still. All i wanted to say is that if you can live your entire life knowing the fault of every evil circumstance around you is high in the stars and that wont stop you from having an amazing ride with meaning all around you, and trust me that he makes a hell of a case for believing it through the book, then oh boy.. You got yourself a new kind of lesson on hope. Thanks for that Mr. Green.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R23WTYDN2TP76E?ASIN=014242417X	A terrific Y-A book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">So this 14-year-old girl I know told me about this by telling me that she thought that clearly John Green was smarter than I was.  I objected, of course, and spent several hours going out of my way to be petulant about it.<br/><br/>Then I went and read the book, loved it and resolved to continue, in conversations with this 14-year-old to be petulant.  What's life for, after all ? ...<br/><br/>Which is a question that Mr Green asks in this book, along with many others that teens often ask - of themselves and others - but which are not often addressed in teen fiction.  He takes a hard-eyed look at many issues confronting kids who are just learning how to address their particular circumstances.  I like that and admire it.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R20PEO0J9E1F0P?ASIN=014242417X	Young love written right	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">An absolutely beautiful story. I have to congratule Mr Green on accomplishing such a feat as righting from the persepective of a teenager, yet alone a female teenager (as someone who once was a teenage girl I recognize this as the challenge it must have been). This book may be categorized as Young Adult but the story is relatable at any age. From the first heart-fluttering moments of newly discovered love, to the heatbreaking despair love lost, the reader lives in the story. John Green is a beautiful writer. A light hand that still manages to compel the reader and create the drama and humor and sincerity of any great story, without the overbearing earnesty or cloying sweetness that can be the pitfalls of many YA writers.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R4VCMB6ZFPPWJ?ASIN=014242417X	Okay.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I am not a reader. Strike that. I was not a reader, until a close friend recommended this book to me. Despite my lack of interest in reading due to difficulty staying focused, she pushed me to read it.<br/><br/>I thank her so much for sharing this book with me. I have re-read it several times and it has opened my eyes to the world, (or many worlds) that books have to offer. Green's use of accurate teenage circumstances mixed with the use of his slightly-above-average level of dialogue make this book accessible to people of many ages and types. It's not too dumb, and at the same time it's not pretentious. Green proves himself to be very aware of what it means in this day and age to be a teenager. I love this book. Okay.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RGMH7A5EK0W4T?ASIN=014242417X	Terminal Lives	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault In Our Stars zeros in on the psyche of two teens who are both cancer patients:  The gal is terminal, and the guy is an amputee survivor, but with no guarantees.  They meet at a support group, realize that they are both extremely intelligent people with a gifted dry sense of humor and love of books.  Their friendship gradually blooms into love.  Author John Green is an excellent writer keeping the reader continually interested on their personalities, relationship and their fragile lives at stake.  It is heart breaking, yet a  sentimental and pleasing story because they both find love and happiness in each other before the end.<br/><br/>I am now reading another John Green book, since I like his writing so much.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R14WTHQHEUYOSI?ASIN=014242417X	T'is okay.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I spent a whole night at a family get together hearing praise of this book and recieving imperitive orders to read it. I got home, bought the book on my kindle and was quite frankly disappointed. It's a good book, don't get me wrong. But It is not nearly as good as what everyone has built it up to be.<br/>Maybe it's just because I don't do cancer books.<br/>But it has it's funny times, it's sad times and all in all it's not too shabby a story. And for a bloke John Green writes a 16 year old female accuratly well!<br/>I think the only way to know whether you like or do not like this book is to read it. It's just one of those reads where you never know what it'll inspire in you until you're reading that concluding page.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2D6H68TET6VH2?ASIN=014242417X	AMAZING	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This novel is among some of my best books that I've ever read before....Including the Divergent trilogy....I will not spoil this novel, but the most touching part of  this novel would be at the end.....I would definitely recommend this novel to everybody that loves romance and heart touching can't put it down til finished novels......I would definitely read it until I die.....this novel is just that good.....It makes me want to read more novels by John Green. Like Taylor Swift says....Haters gonna hate....if you hate this novel then many people(around the 26 thousand five star reviews) and those that rated this one star (346 around) must hate many really cliffhanging novels like THE FAULT IN OUR STARS or TFIOS for short</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R18BUPJ9SPRY49?ASIN=014242417X	So much humor, so much saddness.  An excellent book to share.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Was told about this story when my granddaughter saw the movie and was moved by it.  So we bought two copies and read it together during her summer stay.  She is 14 and beginning to embrace the joy of reading.  ""The Fault.."" was a great share.  We got to spend quiet time together and paced our reading so that we were ""together"" in the story.  She filled me in on details and differences and ommisions in the movie, and said the book was better.  So much humor, so much saddness--the story of a teenagers' cancer support group.  From the beginning it felt like a  book of personal passage, from childhood to grownup literature, reminiscent of my experience with ""The Catcher in the Rye"" when I was a girl.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RYAFIN0BCSZL7?ASIN=014242417X	Heart Rendering and Poignant	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I loved the writing as well as the characters. While Augustus and Hazel Grace were in physical pain, they helped heal others by offering their emotions and honesty.  The theme of young love encased in a disease still provides insight to anyone who has ever cared for another. The author also showed how the viewpoint of youth can overshadow the immaturity and callousness of one much older and supposedly wiser. Van Houten's emotional pain was juxtaposed (the reason being revealed near the end) with the youths' physical pain and was his way of coping.  This is a great read, promising smiles and tears--even at the same time.  While this book might be geared toward young adults, I found the theme to be universal and powerful.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1NTA7VH81CV2I?ASIN=014242417X	5 stars & Rich with Rewards	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">My granddaughter forced me to read this book it's not my usual mystery, cop novel. Since we  frequently read and do her homework together and she had read the book she decided I needed to check it out. Since she loved it she badgered me until I committed to reading it. Anyway I read the book she watched over my progress because it creates such strong emotions that I just had to set it down every so often to regain myself. It's the story of young people, love and death and how these are shared. It's really well done and quite beautiful. I thanked her for bringing it to me, sharing her feelings  and making me more human. At 71 I relived a little of the emotions of youth and discovered they are not so different at any age.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1IZTMMMWQHJ6G?ASIN=014242417X	Too much hype	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I guess if you have someone with cancer in your life it might make the book more interesting. I didn't feel like the characters were developed deep enough. I picked this up because it will soon be a movie and I was curious, but now I feel like I wasted my money on a poorly written novel.<br/>The characters are shallow, you never learn how they think or how they feel. It's only dialogue, and not even a good one. I couldn't cry at all, even though several people told me I would. I just could not connect to the characters in any way. Whenever something was starting to get deep, the author would just jump to a different scene.<br/>I gave it 2 stars because I did get to the end of it. But overall, it's not a 2 stars book.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1LFA03WZGUWTZ?ASIN=014242417X	Simply AMAZING!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Let me start by saying I knew how this book would end months before I even gave in and read it. With that being said, I was surprised at the amount of emotion I put into this novel while reading.  It is a tear jerker in a positive way if that can be believed. The Fault in Our Stars is very well written and the characters (Augustus, Hazel, Van Houten and their families) are so well thought out &amp; developed, it is impossible not to be consumed by this book. I finished it in a little over 6 hours in 1 day and it will make you think about who you are and what you want to achieve or receive in this world.  I commend the author for really capturing love, pain, suffering and genuine happiness in people who don't really exist.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R12QI220DM1YCG?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in Our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I choose the highest rating because the author wrote a real story that could have really happened.  There are so many children with cancer...I had a day care child of three whose mom has asked the doctor to check her for a certain kind of cancer because her best friends son had it.  The doctor said she was being an hysterical mom.  When she came to me she would not eat and I would find her laying face down on the cool linoleum.  I took her to the doctor and was told she had a bilateral ear infection. I told the doctor he was wrong and so he shared  that he had requested more tests.  It was a Whilms tumor located behind a kidney...some kids are born with it. They operated and one month to the day sweet Betsy Gold died.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1JEMMZT04RAS4?ASIN=014242417X	The best book I read all year!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars by John Green<br/><br/>Hazel Grace is a sixteen year old girl with cancer. At her cancer support group she meets Augustus""Gus"" Waters, also a cancer patient. They become more than just friends. Through ""Gus"" she learns the meaning of life, death, sickness and health. Also she finds that everyone is a legacy in their own way.<br/><br/>A well written memorable story filled with emotions. I really liked Hazel, she had a spirit to match no one, she had her own unique charm. I also loved the philosophies of Gus, he also was a unique individual. I highly recommend to Junior High, Young Adult as well as adult readers.<br/><br/>*I received a free pdf download at the publishers web.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1O8IHX5WNMD6Z?ASIN=014242417X	Brilliant. Enough Said.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This novel is destined to become a classic assigned by English teachers for years to come. The author presents the two teenage protagonists as intelligent, literary, and highly verbal who ponder deep thoughts and engage in witty banter. This flies in the face of conventional wisdom that says you should ""talk down"" to teens in books intended for that audience. John Green ignores that conventional wisdom and dares reader to keep up. I stand up and applaud him for that!<br/><br/>I'm not much of a crier. But I cried. For the last forty pages of the book. It wasn't a I-hate-that-Im-crying sort of thing. It was a I-am-terribly-moved-by-this-so-thank-you-Mr-Green sort of thing.<br/><br/>Read it, or be forever robbed of the experience.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R6JE7LN2RNW4V?ASIN=014242417X	Hopeful start, disappointing after that.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Poignant story, but the whole sub-plot with the Swedish author seemed so ""out there"" that it really took away from the main plot. I felt the author lost opportunities to further explore the main characters and their relationships by focusing on this cliche drivel with the ""recluse-who-is-a-horrible-person-but-only-because-he's-suffered-loss, too."" Not to mention that after a theatrical and unlikely grand gesture- that really makes the reader aware that this is a work of fiction- the heroine, realizing that he, too has endured a loss- behaves like an immature brat, not the overly- cerebral character that she has maintained throughout the rest of the book. A book that could have been great, but wasn't.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RZWTVAR710SU6?ASIN=014242417X	BEST BOOK EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">John Green, Gus, Hazel... What can I say? This book has made me cry, laugh, smile, and touch my heart. I absolutely adored this book- I have read it at least 10 times, and counting. I would definitely recommend this book to people of all ages, particularly people like me. I for one, love romances and books that aren't too cheesy but enough to warm your heart. I have given this book a five star rating because of multiple reasons: The book is well written, has a marvelous plot, leaves a lasting message on all, and more. The movie is beautiful as well, but we all know the original is always the best. I may be an adolescent, but I can tell you that this book has changed my ways and will always be kept close to my heart.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R5HZIRV42HJQK?ASIN=014242417X	"""Some infinities are bigger than other infinities."""	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars is a heartbreaking and honest rendition of flawed characters waiting for a death sure to come.  I couldn't help but fall in love with the wonderful characters that were brought to life in this story. I knew the outcome, it is quite obvious; the author never once claimed to write of life and hope but of the raw and completely real feelings brought on by the inevitability of death. Yet with every word I inevitably and irrevocably fell for these characters that were exposed to their cores to help the reader understand their acceptance of something as normal and inescapable as death. ""Some infinities are bigger than other infinities"", just like some stories are more honest and brutal than others.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R35KCF7KZ3DQ5D?ASIN=014242417X	I absolutely loved this book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I absolutely loved this book! I'm usually not a big reader, but when the name of this book was all over instagram, I decided I would read it. This is the most inspiring, and the most perfect book I have ever read. Honestly, I didn't believe when everyone said it was a great book, but I completely misjudged. I read the entire  book in less than a day because it was so intriguing and addicting, I haven't seen the movie yet, but I bet it won't be as good as this book. Because nothing.. NOTHING can be better than this book. John Green is a great writer! This book deserves more than five stars, but obviously that's not possible but this book definitely deserves more than 4 stars I mean come on guys, it was really great.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R8IKAYT144RKR?ASIN=014242417X	Great read!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read this book as part of a book club. My younger cousin (she is 13) recommended this book because her mother was having trouble thinking of one. I went into it thinking I was reading a book geared towards younger kids. I was wrong. This book is one of the most uplifting and devastating books I have ever read, if that makes any sense. The characters are written perfectly. The emotion this book evokes is unbelievable. I've cried while reading books before....I SOBBED during this one. If you want a happy story, with a happy ending, this isn't your book. But if you want a book that gives you the nitty gritty emotions that go along with people that are terminally ill, with a somewhat humorous spin, this is your book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2S2RXYFXWU9SH?ASIN=014242417X	Witty and Thought Provoking	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">So I initially I bought this book only because I wanted to read it before the movie came out in the coming year. It also had positive reviews and a few friends concurred that reading this was worth it.<br/><br/>To say the least I cannot imagine reading this only once in my life. I will read it again and again. The wit among the characters the strong sense of reality and human interaction that would actually occur in real time was amazing to read. This book was hardly what one would think about teens with terminal illness all sappy and full of pity. It was uplifting and eye opening and made you think about each character in a depth that most books cannot touch.<br/><br/>Wonderful read. Wonderful message. Buy it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1IEM3OGNBUBQF?ASIN=014242417X	It didn't live up to the hype	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I had been seeing this book everywhere, on best seller lists, blogs, etc, and as an avid reader I decided to purchase it and read it. I read a lot of YA books, and enjoy quite a lot of them. This, however, did not live up to it's hype in my opinion. It was dull and dry, boring at times so much as to make me almost want to stop reading it. I could not identify with the characters, they seemed shallow and one dimensional. The story line has been done before, and the whole thing was cheesy. I did not come away feeling good about it, or upset by it. It was just a neutral read about a topic that's been done before, in a very predictable way.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1E03Y36GF7DN5?ASIN=014242417X	A fun, sweet and sad, but hopeful journey	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I really really like John Green's writing style. He's whip smart and incredibly gifted when it comes to stringing words together. I already saw the movie so I wasn't sure about reading the book. But at the end of An Abundance of Katherines they included the first chapter for The Fault in Our Stars (smart move publishers) -- and I got hooked. This is one outstandingly genius author, but sometimes the dialogue is a bit over the top (sometimes). I don't know teenagers that speak the way they do in this book. Kinda reminds me of how Cameron Crowe writes dialogue (love him, but a bit too perfectly poetic). Still it was a fun, sweet and sad, but hopeful journey. I borrowed this book from the Los Angeles Public Library.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1NFCQ7J2JY265?ASIN=014242417X	The move got to me more, so what does that say of the book?	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I only bought this book because it was a #1 best seller and made into a movie so I assumed it would be good. It was just okay for me. I read the book over a 24 hour period and immediately watched the movie. I actually cried, multiple times during the movie, but hardly felt any emotion while reading the book. So to me that says something... It was a an easy read althought it did bother me that the young characters talked like they were 30. Just because you throw in a ""whatever"" here and there doesn't make it a teen talking. I am glad that I read the book first though, because the movie did go astray here and there. Some times I liked what they changed and other times I was glad I knew what really happened.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RBWJQPNIDM95V?ASIN=014242417X	Jane Anderson	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is a beautifully written story filled with humor, intelligence, and heartbreak. I did not think I would enjoy reading a book about cancer; however,I smiled and even laughed aloud at some statements or observations made by Augustus Waters.<br/>and of course, cried at other parts of the story.<br/>Like Hazel read and reread An Imperial Affliction, I found myself read and rereading certain lines or sections of this story just to let the idea sink further in.<br/><br/>I somehow feel that I'm a better person for having read it, and I do not see how anyone who reads it will not be touched by the characters and their stories.  Green is an extremely talented and intelligent writer. I hope he continues to write.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R373869YMRSO69?ASIN=014242417X	Meaningful Metaphor and Methods	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">John Green has written a good book people seem to be to relate to where it intersects with the lives they lead and what they know about what he writes of in a deceptively simple and adolescent style. There are metaphorical resonances with real Christianity as it works out issues like this which people seem to be forever tied to as humans. But the lives he portrays are related to the real world of goodwill and malicious energies. There are many different connections to what are Nazi, Jewish, American and European tensions that have shaped the world we live in. Green has one point of view which is not fully revealed. BUt here  is finding in a novel a different way of being than what he writes about in Van Houten .</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RR92P7YW2QGFL?ASIN=014242417X	My Thoughts On The Fault In Our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I agree completely with this book. Most people usually do take their life for granted, not taking risks when the opportunity arises to do so, or not doing something because they think they'll have time to do it later. The truth is though, that there might not be time later. Things can happen in your life that you probably think can never happen. Everyone needs to start trying to live their life to the fullest. We need to start waking up every morning saying,""What can I do today to help someone?"" Or ""How can I impact a person's life today?"". Even just making one person's life better, is better than doing nothing. I think that the best medicine for sadness is putting a smile on someone else's face.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R28DMZMAUH4VYQ?ASIN=014242417X	Overrated	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">It takes a lot to disappoint me when reading...in general, if I'm reading then I'm enjoying myself. That said, I enjoyed the story but I do not think it lived up to the hype I read all about in the reviews. Yes, I laughed at times and yes, I was very sad at times. However, did it change my life? No. The main character was a little on the unbelievable side to me with a vocabulary larger than mine and understanding literature in ways that I did not grasp until college...and she's supposed to be 16. I enjoyed the lighthearted point of view of cancer; it was refreshing to hear a ""realistic"" interpretation of the experience. Nevertheless, 3 stars for me it is. Not the greatest book ever, but definitely not the worst.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RUKS0516AB4B7?ASIN=014242417X	Savor love and life	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Get your tissues ready! A well written story of reality! A very emotional book that depicts a cruel part of life that has invaded most all of our lives in some way, and a cruel, yet realistic invasion that we secretly hope we will never be faced with...cancer. Realistic characters each with a unique personality. Layers of emotions that brought tears to my eyes, re-birthed sad memories of my own friends and family whom died from this wretched disease; while also bringing an occasional smile to my lips through  gentle, yet honest humor that is cleverly woven within the plot in tiny wisps. Makes one appreciate the tiny things in life as well as life itself, and savor the ultimate gift of love. This is a must read.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/REHET9ZAJT8AW?ASIN=014242417X	There are not words!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">What a heartbreaking..... Yet heart warming tale of love and loss and survival!! This is truly a tale to affect us to the very core and change a lot of preconceived notions.<br/><br/>What an amazing love story! A love story that breaks every mold in traditional YA, one that shows love is self-sacrificing, not always beautiful, and even painful at times.<br/><br/>I also love the eye opening experience at looking at life and death not only from the pov of the survivor, but also from the one suffering from the disease.<br/><br/>This really and truly is a must read, because it's not just a book, it's an experience, a journey that needs to be taken. Just be sure to walk with an open heart and lots of Kleenex!!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R238KSVI6ZZDO4?ASIN=014242417X	please read this book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">like the horrible person I am, I googled the plot before I read this book (to avoid getting attached) and then didn't pay for the book the first time I read it (to avoid spending money).<br/><br/>but then I read it and got attached anyway and felt (really, really felt) and bought the book. because it's the kind of book that deserves to be bought. and reread. and recommended. and treasured.<br/><br/>I think reading a book is like diving into a pond, and some books, you can take a break and splash your head out of the water and eat an apple before going back under. some books, you go down and don't come back up, can't come back up, until you're done. this is the second kind.<br/><br/>please read this book.</span>"

It was really amazing. It is just perfect for all ages. Adults would care for it. And me and my middle school friends, fell in love with it. Trust me, if you get this book, you won't regret it. You'll fall in love with the characters, and the story itself. The book is filled with many plot twists and unexpected turns, that just won't let you put this book down. I can go on and on about this for hours on end, but I'm afraid I have to stop short. Please get this book it will really open up<br/> your eyes and let you see the world in a whole new way. I know it did for me. Because some infinities are bigger than other infinities.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RLGDWU4NG1OKZ?ASIN=014242417X	One of the best books I have ever read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I kept putting off reading this book because I knew I wanted to be fully invested in it when I started it. I regret that I didn't read it sooner! John Green's stories are always so good, I should have known better.<br/>This book brought tears to my ears, made me laugh aloud and left me feeling content by the end. Though the subject matter of cancer is slightly depressing, it doesn't make you sad in the way you can't finish it, like some other books. The whit the Green has his character portray is too good to resist. This book is insightful and extremely worth it. IF you haven't read it yet, you should. I recommend this book for anyone between late middle school to elders. Everyone can benefit from this novel.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RT8FH362RWQRP?ASIN=014242417X	Raw Love	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I loved reading this book, mostly because I could relate to both Augustus and Hazel. Not because I have cancer but because of the way they think. I also liked how honest this book was about life and how raw the love between Gus and Hazel was. His undying love for her was so sincere and obvious that I couldn't help but envy the affection they had for each other. The connection between them was so pure and brave and I loved the way they were so in sync when they were together. A story like this one reminds us of the fault in our stars but also that they can line up perfectly. Definitely five stars because of the strength in the writing and the passion in the plot. Anything that can make me cry, gets five stars.</span>"

If you do it well people won't get bored because you'll be painting a vivid image I'm their minds. However to finish on a high I adored the sophistication of the quotes In this book and the deeply thought out love expressions that Augustus  and hazel said and honestly my personal favorite part of the book was Augustus's cigarette metaphor<br/>-anon</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1PT9K4W3G5VTB?ASIN=014242417X	Felt Detached	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The story is decent yet predictable. As a parent I found myself relating to the parents in the story and often thinking about how hard it would be to go through something like this. I found the book be fun, sad, and happy at times. The author mentions that the story is not based off any real person or situation that he experienced and I think that may have been the reason I felt so detached. Had this been based off some real events and if I thought that the emotions experienced by the characters were somewhat real, I think I would have liked it a lot more. This is not my typical book but the ratings were very high so I took a chance on this. While I think it is okay I do not think I am the target audience.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1G3N8YO60AOZF?ASIN=014242417X	A Very Honest Look at Mortality	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Green does an amazing job inhabiting a terminally ill girl. Because of her experience, she cannot go along with the way we romanticize the dying. And yet because this is also a story of loves (not just romantic but also of parents for their children, children for their parents, and friends for each other) there is this underlying tension. I thought at first it was the author fighting his tendency to have it both ways. But it is the struggle of all human beings. Despite what we think or say we cannot help but seek for meaning or at least significance in life. So in the end this book will not even settle for the literary conceit of a perfectly bleak ending. Because life is not perfect and we are only human.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R6DTN9QP21TQL?ASIN=014242417X	Feeling ALL THE FEELS	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">As hazel originally felt about an imperial affliction, that is how I feel about this book. It makes my heart heavy. It makes my eyes drop. It makes me smile. It makes me remember the innocence of first love. I don't have cancer, but I've known death. He gets it so perfectly, that visceral, all-encompassing pain that you feel when someone you love dies. How you wake up perfectly at peace because in sleep your world was righted of the wrong the universe dealt you in the death of your loved one, and you are crushed anew under the blow upon remembering they are gone. The Fault In Our Stars isn't just a tragic love story. It is a life lesson. It is a love lesson. A lesson in coping, in hoping, in appreciation.</span>"

I'd seen it on tumblr and Instagram. But I thought, I'll read it anyways. I'll see if it's really worth while. And it is. More than anything - it is.<br/><br/>I never thought that I was going to fall in love with Augustus as much as I did. But by the time the book was done I was retching on the floor, tears streaming down my face. And believe me, I've had many a fictional crush before. But nothing compared to this.<br/><br/>John Green has incomparable writing skills. He perfectly portrays emotions. He captures the human essence without flaw.<br/><br/>Without a doubt, I would recommend this book to any person. You won't regret it.<br/>I</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2P8VO3W25MV2X?ASIN=014242417X	4.5 stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I really enjoyed this book-- I could have read it in a day but wanted to savor it for as long as possible so I slowed my reading and finished it in about a week. It is a Young Adult fiction. I did not expect adult content and was happy not to have it there. The story is heartfelt and I love (and miss) all the characters.<br/>I bought the Kindle version and got a deal to buy the audiobook as well. I don't normally do this, but just about two days after I finished reading it, I started listening to it all over again!  I guess I wasn't done enjoying it.  I only give it a half star off 5 because it didn't quite have the ""tell all my friends to read this book NOW"" quality-- but I really did enjoy it.</span>"

During this book the characters, Hazel and Augustus, are very smart characters who have very interesting opinions. Both Hazel and Augustus, have an usual outlook on life and I learned a lot from these opinions.  Throughout the book I wanted to read every chance I got because I was learning so much from two teens who have been through so much and are wise beyond their age. As the book went on I was amazed by Hazel and Augustus's lives and adventures. At the end of the story it was very sad, I wish that the story could have went on because it was such an intelligent and interesting story.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3BRGY7F7N8DQ0?ASIN=014242417X	So much better than expected	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I'm a 53 year old reader and I knew when I bought this it was primarily for young adults.  I'd just finished ""the book thief"" and loved it so much I decided to give this one a try at amazon's suggestion.  I was not disappointed!  Very heartfelt and touching.  The main characters struggle with cancer was as strong as the World War Two element in the ""book thief"".  I felt the main characters were believable and unique.  Although the dark moment wasn't a shock it still moved me deeply.  I liked that although the characters were high school aged, they spoke and behaved as adults due to their having extraordinary circumstances to deal with.  I look forward to reading this authors other books.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2JELKAVMHMRJY?ASIN=014242417X	Don't pass this book up. Not a Waste of time. Quick read, but affective. Newberry deserving.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars: a touching book that make you feel like your emotions are being dragged out of your body. Beautifully written, a cup of cancer, tea spoon of star-crossed lovers, and 23/7 drunk writer will make you cry one second and laugh like a madman the next. It's like having your period. (I'm still talking to guys here, too!) Hazel's blunt humor and frankness is _____! I DONT EVEN HAVE A NAME FOR IT! I always highlight my favorite parts of books, including comebacks and etc, just to put it out there, I highlighted the whole thing! I love Gus, he is the whole package. I love him, and his best friend Isaac(funny pair.). I give no spoilers, so what I comment is what you deal with!:3 No regrets!</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R347BA49ORINEY?ASIN=014242417X	A love story finally not as so sappy I want to throw up	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I thoroughly enjoyed the Fault in Our Stars. From the witty jokes and humor to the sweet love story, I loved it all. One thing I love about John Green's writing style is how many allusions he has. Hazel is a cancer patient who's not in remission, but doesn't have life threatening cancer at the moment. When she's forced to go to a support group for ""cancer patients"" Hazel's friends become 2 cancer patients. One who's already lost an eye to the disease and is about to become blind and another who has a prosthetic leg. They become more than friends, and by the end of the book (although this wasn't entirely the case for me) you'll be reaching for the Kleenex. I recommend this to everyone and anyone.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1PI6ILRSG5D9N?ASIN=014242417X	Really Real	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book - oh man this book!  So touching.  I laughed and cried.  I love books that can do that - mix up my very emotion.  I'd definitely recommend this book.  I liked the relationship between Hazel and Gus and I hope their infinities meet again (I know it's fictional but I can still hope).  The compassion and care from parents, the truth surrounding death and how everyone comes to wish you well at first diagnosis and then nothing else until after death.  How those who truly care suffer in the process of watching the dying.  And as morbid as it sounds its not such a depressing book.  And I hope we can all leave a scar.  I found so many quotes in this book that touched me deeply.  Bravo Mr Green, bravo.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3L7PR9JT79K7I?ASIN=014242417X	Wow. Just wow.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book, although sad, was so well written. I know that John Green has written plenty of other novels, but this is the one that will most definitely stick with you for awhile. Agustus, Hazel, and Issac, even if sick, dead, or blind, were all just wonderful characters that truly expressed that even though you may be different, it doesn't mean that you can't find a love... your own little infinity, if you will. Just because you aren't like every beautiful girl out there, doesn't mean you aren't as good as them, because you ARE. Beautiful isn't always pretty, and that's what this wonderful story shows. Though quite depressing toward the end, I have to give at 5 star rating. John Green truly deserves it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1QNKDWGXCZ3OG?ASIN=014242417X	Wow . Just . Wow	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was seriously the best thing I have ever read , no book has ever mad me cry and feel what the characters feel as this book has . It was excellently written . It had so much emotion , I just couldn't put it down . One thing I do wonder , John Green has probably done this on purpose , but I wonder , just like Hazel wonders in AIA , what happens after wards ? how much longer does Hazel survive ? does she ever speak with Van Housing again ? what happens to Isaac ? does Monica ever reach him ? does Van Housing write another book ? when Hazel dies , does he speak at her funeral ? does he ever try to stop his drinking habits ? I need the answers . Overall , I am astounded . This book was fantastic .</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2OL10ZFD34JEC?ASIN=014242417X	what a great story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I usually don't read Young Adult books but the reviews I read on this book convinced me to try it.<br/><br/>In short, it was a great book. The characters brought me back to all the warm and fuzzy feelings I had when I was a teenager and in love. Yes, the story is destined to have a sad ending. C'mon, they both have cancer. But it's not only about that. It's the hope and the gift of life that you WANT to gift these young kids who are so in love.<br/><br/>It's reading about how much they wish things were different.  It's about how ""I"" wished things were different for them. And for me, that's what a great book is all about. It draws you in and makes you laugh, cry and hope WITH the characters.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2PS8BI0M9U04F?ASIN=014242417X	I recommend this to everyone, of any age.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I am old (50) and rarely read YA books, although I have nothing against them.  Most of the popular books these days are YA, such as Hunger Games and the Harry Potter stuff.  But I really don't like romance, I'm just not a romantic person.  And I don't want to read about people dealing with disease either.  I read this book so I could help a teenager I know write an essay about it.<br/><br/>And I looooved it!!! These are, indeed, well-developed characters.  Their age isnt' really relevant.  I cared about them, and as someone who works with a lot of teens, they rang true.  Maybe this book is so popular because the author doesn't write it as a ""YA"" book, he wrote a book featuring young adults.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R5I9FAXFQSLS0?ASIN=014242417X	An average read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">After reading Paper Towns I thought of John Green as a good writer and average storyteller. Then I read Looking for Alaska and thought it an extraordinary work. All the buzz about this book made me hope it was closer to Alaska than Paper Town. It's not.<br/><br/>I hope all the buzz isn't because it's about cancer kids and people are seeing something I'm missing. The characters of Hazel and Issac are unique and interesting and worth reading. Augustus is cliche, the parents are generic. Peter Van Houten and his assistant are not believable at all.<br/><br/>The story is very predictable, but it's a good first exposure to it, if you're not familiar with it making it a very good book for young adults.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R25RYBFDMK7F0A?ASIN=014242417X	I thought it would be heavy and hopeless, but I was wrong	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I had this book on my kindle wish-list for 6 months before I eventually read it.  I saw that it was receiving rave reviews online, but whenever I read the book description, I just thought ""whoa....cancer and teenagers - I am not in the right space for this"".<br/>I thought it would be heavy and hopeless, but I was wrong.<br/><br/>The Fault in Our Stars is so well written. It oozes warmth. And despite the crushing ugliness of cancer, the story itself is luminous and not all doom and gloom.<br/><br/>Even though I did shed a few hearty tears, the overall impact this book has had on me is profoundly uplifting.<br/>Thank you John Green!<br/>“Some infinities are bigger than other infinities.”</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2DGG23XYNS9AK?ASIN=014242417X	amazing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I love this book. I read The Fault in Our Stars because I saw the trailer for the movie adaptation and I wanted to see it, but I am one who must read the book before seeing the movie so I picked the book up for my kindle and immediately started reading. I couldn't put it down, I thought the dialog between Hazel Grace and Augustus was adorable and funny, though it I did think it a bit unrealistic for teenagers. I really enjoyed that the book made me feel for the characters, I cried like a baby at the end, and even now if I think hard about it I get all teary eyed.<br/>The Fault in Our Stars is a tragic love story, and it's one that I plan to read again soon.<br/><br/>Also, the movie was fantastic!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R9XV5KSISE4QI?ASIN=014242417X	Inspiring book that I think everyone should read!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I can relate to this book so much. I am sick too and when I am in the hospital/ICU I sometimes think that I might die. Like it could be any day, and I won't see it coming, so I live every day like it is my last. This book speaks to me, and I think that it is an award winning book. I love the fact that hazel grace can find the light in this terrible time in her life. Though it is very sad that Gus has to die for her to see that but I believe that everything happens for a reason. As for I let life take its course and let God bless me and decide what my path is. Over all I think that it is an inspiring book that I think everyone should read! And am going to use my wish to meet you!<br/>  -Morgan Kelly</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R30RNG6CKON913?ASIN=014242417X	The Best Book I've Ever Read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is the best with the descriptive mature language John Green provides for us readers. A poetic meaningful lines in a lot of this. I was so glad to give an Oral Book Report on The Fault In Our Stars. It wasn't one of you're ""Look I'm dying of cancer feel bad for me."" No this was different. This was a tragic love story that you would've gotten. Every different emotions in it. These characters in here aren't any less human then we are they're all the same. Were all just people. Gods helping me trying to figure out what were all about since were one in the same. Same joy some pain. So I cried I laughed I was angry and that what makes John Green an Excellent writer. Best book I've read.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R327B8HRVXJSBM?ASIN=014242417X	Gives you thought about what's important in life	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">people always wonder how the will leave their mark in this world and some just don't care if they do. I like this book because it's not a matter of what you leave behind in this world it's how you lived your life and the thoughts and actions that make you you... a selfless act as in sharing your ""wish"" to make the one you love believe in something more even if it doesn't go as planned you learn to deal with things that don't always go the way you want them to. learning to live life the only way you can one moment at a time. people say memories last a life time but that's not always true they tend to fade away but a simple song or movie or book can bring them all rushing back. Anyway amazing book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RS8002WAYVOSN?ASIN=014242417X	Classic	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I follow John Green on Youtube with his brother (Vlogbrothers) and I heard him talk about this book being turned into a movie. I really respect John Green's opinions on life, love and all thing literary so I thought I would see if this book was really worth the hype. I ended up reading this book in one night, stayed up until 2 am to finish. Probably the best book I've read in a few years, I was definitely moved by the topics addressed and by the ending. If you are considering reading this, you will not be disappointed. John Green has a beautiful talent for writing and making you feel like you know the characters, like they're your friends at school. I look forward to reading his other works soon.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3GD13JQNKYXGX?ASIN=014242417X	Beer Book Ever	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">(Beware.of spoilers). I couldn't imagine a better ending except for one probably popular question: How many years later does Hazel die from her cancer? Even though many tragedies do happen in the book I enjoyed it and it seemed like everything resolves at the end. The world must remember, to people who do not believe that Gus dying was a good ending, not every single book resolves into a happy ending. I do not think any book can top this beautiful love story, because it is not based off of a dream world where there is a happily ever after. I loved this book and it is inspiring. If I did not spoil the ending for you yet, anyone that is interested in this book should read it. Nothing good can stay.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1GZJH798RJJKV?ASIN=014242417X	The innocence of first love	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This was easily one of the best books I have read in a long time. An emotional roller coaster, and if you let yourself, you will cry. Having worked at a high school for several years, I felt it even more poignantly. Hazel lets you know from the very beginning what her situation is. Her voice hooked me from the beginning. For those of you who have loved and lost anyone to a terminal disease, this may be a difficult story to get through, but I felt it was worth the read. With so few days to enjoy, her story, and yes, it is fiction, will show you the meaning of learning to live in the now. This story gives you a different perspective on the terminally ill and the stereotypes we have given even them.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2WN1SN7GNRNTS?ASIN=014242417X	Not your typical YA novel	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Not a big fan of YA novels with so much teen angst and drama however this one was different. I downloaded a sample in my Kindle just to see what the fuss was about and became immediately sucked in after the first paragraph.  (I bought the full Kindle edition 5 minutes later.)<br/>The writing is fantastic; It's astonishing a male author can write in first person of a 16 year-old girl.<br/>The story has similar YA themes of love and drama however from the perspective of a struggling cancer patient these issues become trivial to some extent as day to day life is put into a new perspective for the reader.<br/>It's a tearjerker of a book so best bet us to read at home and NOT on a crowded airplane.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3OL3IZDLVI2Q?ASIN=014242417X	It's Okay.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">With no pun intended towards the catchphrase (""Okay?"" ""Okay."") of the story, I am quick to say that The Fault in Our Stars is just...okay. It was just okay the first time I read it, and it was just okay all the subsequent times I've read it. The characters felt flat and unbelievable; the teenagers waxing philosophical and witty in every interaction they make is baffling. The romance plot seemed weak for all that it was tragic, and while I did get a little teary-eyed, I didn't feel any connection to these characters, who were just manifestations of an adult man on paper.<br/>It was all right. I can see why people liked it, but I can't see why the internet went nuts over this book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3P4QHYXYZ0EQW?ASIN=014242417X	It will be all right	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I chose.this book because my husband is suffering from multiple myeloma. I wanted to find.a way to deal with his constant pain. I found that there is no relief. All I can do is be there for him. I too know there is no cure. We have had 42 wonderful years together and I know I should be happy for that which I am but to see someone you love be torn down by a disease jolts you to the core. This book has helped me to realize that to agonize over this fate is futile. Thank you for the insight from the patient's view. My husband is a great hard-working man who manages to be at his job despite the pain. He told me yesterday that he is not able to perform like he has in the past but he still perseveres.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RXVRSUSBAU9OK?ASIN=014242417X	A Difficult Story to Read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The book is very well written, the story is easy to follow.  It's just a difficult story to read.  I can't honestly say there is anything wrong with it.  And in fact, I would say that any book that makes you uncomfortable and makes you think is worth reading.  However, I can't give the book 5 stars because maybe it was a touch too honest.  When I pick up a book I want to escape the cruelties of this world for just a little while.  And while ""The Fault In Our Stars,"" was funny and touching, and overall a very good book, it was too close to the things that I am trying to escape when I pick up a work of fiction.  I guess that's probably what will makes this book a classic in the future, eh?</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2VFNRUOPU8R7U?ASIN=014242417X	The quality of the narrative is exquisite.  I agree with Augustus, Hazel does walk lighter on the earth	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Not what I was expecting with the hype, but although it did not evoke the sadness that many expressed about the story, it touched my soul with the wisdom found when your time is short and you know that it is drawing near the end of our time in this vale of tears.  I work in health care and enjoy the stories told by my older patients, of dreams and love and time past.  This story didn't surprise me with death.  I knew it was coming from a long way.  I wasn't shocked, but acknowledged the foreshadowing.  I even forgive the author, for leaving stories hanging about these lovely characters.  They are wrapped up enough that I can find my way to resolve them myself.  (Mental chose your own adventure)</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RKSEPPBJGCVAK?ASIN=014242417X	Best book I have ever read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I love this book. It makes you look at the world differently. By different I mean- if you see a person with cancer it doesn't mean that there not like you. They can fall in love , they can have happiness. I love this book so much. I reread this book over and over thinking- how lucky they are to have found each other and how there family cares and how much they do love them. Love Isn't a word you can use on anyone. But in this book they use it the right way. Yes this book that has said parts, and yes this book will make you feel different-but you also feel joy in a way. By joy I mean- how much they care for each other and how there parents care. I ""love love love love"" this book I recommend it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RWFIMC3IZCUTN?ASIN=014242417X	Couldn't put it down	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Because I have seen the ads for the movie, I thought I knew what this book would be about, but I was wrong.  Having lived through my mother dying of cancer, I have felt, like the two main characters, that we like to make dying of cancer sound like something more romantic than it is.  We always read that someone fought cancer or died after a long battle with cancer - making the cancer victim responsible for showing the rest of us how it should be done.  This book attempts to show what living with and dying with cancer is like from a teenager's point of view.  The characters are real and multi-dimensional .  I will read this book again and am looking forward to reading other books by John Green.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RHFAUK1FQ3GAF?ASIN=014242417X	Perfect	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">this book messes with your feelings so bad that it isn't funny. but it doesn't mess with them like ""bad"" the romance and the love between these two main character made my heart skip when I read each chapter. there are a few cuss words but that didn't make it any less enjoyable. in fact, that is one of the things I liked about it. when one of the characters cussed, it made me feel closer to the personality of Augustus and hazel. this book was amazing. I loved it and you will definitely too. I feel like there is no age matter for who reads this. I do think that people that are 12-15, it might make them emotional. but I promise, you will definitely love this book with all your heart. okay? okay.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1LL1O9SAFAJ24?ASIN=014242417X	This was a good book. A 9 year old was reading it	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This was a good book. A 9 year old was reading it, and she said she was enjoying it, so I decided to read it, since the new movie is all the rage. I found the story to be good, but the language of the teenagers was a little to adult. I guess if kids have been in and out of hospitals and exposed to death and things their whole life, they may grow up a little quicker. I just don't know any teenagers that use such large vocabulary when speaking with their peers.  The book goes into losing virginity and having sex, so I don't know if it's appropriate for a 9 year old to read, but I guess that depends on their maturity level.  Overall, this book kept me interested and committed to the characters.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3TAOGGW9Q174B?ASIN=014242417X	Coming of age with cancer	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Absorbing and very appealing story. We'll-written, first person coming of age story of teenagers suffering terminal cancers. Manages to avoid being mawkish while giving an honest, personal account of how young people might deal with their terminal conditions while experiencing the ""normal"" emotions of a teenager...  I am a cancer ""survivor"" myself, so I cannot say that readers who have not been faced with a possibly fatal condition would relate to this story. Nevertheless, I feel that the existential issues faced and dealt with are universal and humanistic. I am looking forward to seeing the movie version, if only to bemoan how it diverges from my interpretation or the book!</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2MM94ZN4OE3AR?ASIN=014242417X	Absolutley Beautiful.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I'm already almost done with this book at 100 pages left. I started it yesterday and I'm already going to finish it. The vocabulary in this book is outstanding and just everything about this book is so , real. Myself being a 13 year old girl from the city and having two sisters who've had , and one still does have cancer I can relate much to Hazel Grace. Not the Cancer because I do not have any cancer but just her feelings towards Gus and just everything else. I highly suggest this book to anyone that is teen aged because you'd relate too. Oh and parents so they understand us more cx ! Hahaha , well this book is one of my favorites and I also suggest reading The perks of being a wallflower!</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3PFLET2BMY64D?ASIN=014242417X	Not Nicholas Sparks	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Being an avid reader, but not having read anything for over a year do to a new job leaving me no free time nor mental space, I chose this book because of all the hype. Kind of the same reason I chose to read The Notebook. I actually hated The Notebook. Fluff and schmaltz, with predictable tragic sentimentality. I was fully prepared to feel the same way about this book. I knew people fell in love and someone dies . But, this was so much more. Yes, the main idea was the same, but conveyed in such beautiful language, with such 'insight into the closet intellectual's teenage soul, that I could not put it down. Really wonderful . Unlike Nicholas Sparks, I can't WAIT to read more by this author.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R36UABMQD10488?ASIN=014242417X	Made A Mom Cry	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">As a mother, I can only imagine how horrific it would be to have a terminally ill child. This book touches me deeply for its raw, honest, heartbreaking examination of life and death and what it means to be alive and live life to its fullest in spite of the pain and suffering. A line from the book along the lines of what sucks more than being a kid dying from  cancer is being the parents of a kid dying from cancer. Life isn't fair, there are ""faults"" in our stars but dammit, we are going to live through it with our Love intact. That's what I gained from it and I'll add this to books I would like my own daughter to read someday; if only to appreciate the beautifully written language.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RSKPKLJBNOYPF?ASIN=014242417X	Great	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I did really enjoy reading this book, you got into the characters really fast and for me that meant that I couldn't put the book down before finishing it.<br/>I chose 4 stars, because I really did enjoy the book and the character and how honest and brutal it shows lifes of those with cancer. Though I chose not to give it 5 stars, was because of the language, it had it's' charm but also it's downsides. Teenagers do not talk like that, but you can argue that they have been forced to grow up faster than a normal child would have to. But for me the language and monologues at times got a bit hard to get through as they felt staged.<br/>Over all a really great book that I really can recommend!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2024ZNK0SDYM9?ASIN=014242417X	"A ""Celebration of Life"""	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I loved the way this book speaks to anyone who has ever experienced cancer up close and personal. My husband is a cancer survivor, but many unfortunately don't get that experience. Both of us agree today that so many of the lessons we learned through the process were invaluable, yes, almost priceless;  yet, paradoxically, I would not wish it on anyone.  The main character's sardonic, sarcastic voice..resonated with me......she was real, truthful, and wise far  beyond her years...not uncommon with young cancer victims. I also liked the way cancer patient stereotypes were confronted;  it makes one reconsider all the trite sayings people toss out. There is plenty of joy in this book as well.</span>"

This is not a sad story for me, but a reminder to celebrate life with gusto! I'm going to see the movie tomorrow so that will be a visual esperience for me.

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R12S97VQOHUT0X?ASIN=014242417X	My son died young	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I have known the grief of the loss of a child to illness.  The sensitive prose brought the characters to life in my heart which enabled be to grieve again for my son.  This may sound strange but grief is a pain which must be felt fully and deeply to allow the spirit to heal.  The narrative Mr. Green spun provided the catalyst to allow my grief to resurface in a real form allowing me to both feel deeply and heal a bit more.  Characters from fiction only come to life if they have rough edges and uncertainty.  The characters in this story may appear a bit awkward to the summer romance reader but to those touched by death of the young, death of a child, the messy internal dialogue rings true.</span>"

Not only does it show a beautiful love story, but it also puts you into a place where there is a lot worse out there and life Isn't always a fairy tale. The point to this book is well thought out and pin pointed to perfection. The way that they showed a love story in this is perfect. The words, the characters, everything is just done in a very unique and well way I cannot wait to see the movie which I am seeing in two days I will laugh I will sob and treasure this book and remember this book throughout my life as it teaches you life lessons and keeps you interested throughout<br/>  Sincerly,<br/>JodiGlidden</span>"

I miss the characters, I miss the writing, I miss the deep love. I feel utterly devastated that it is over. John green got it right! It is the most fulfilling love story I've ever read. It's honest and true! When you think of a book about cancer you think hospital beds, sorrow, but this book is not that. It is a beautiful love story between two kids that take the risk of loving each other through hell. It's funny, and witty, and charming! Hazel and Augustus are the epitome of love! They live life although at times they are afraid too! I will be reading this book again as soon as I am done writing!</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I got this book four days ago... and within four days it has become one of my favorite books or all times. It was magnificently written (John Green is both an awesome vlogger and awesome writer). I couldn't help but grin and laugh while reading this book because it was filled with so much witty sarcasm. I also couldn't help but tear up from the beautiful, yet remarkable sadness that occurred in the story. Even though it was short, the experience I had reading this book was extraordinary.<br/><br/>If you can handle a gut wrenching story ... then read it.<br/><br/>If you can not... Then read it anyways. The book entangled philosophy and emotion beautifully... it deserves your attention.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RE4U4ET5SK79Z?ASIN=014242417X	Couldn't put it down	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Although this book was listed as a young adult selection, I decided to go with it after reading positive reviews from other not-so-young-adults (I am 36). It was so hard to put down and I finished it very quickly. I like John Green's writing style -- easy to read but also descriptive. The characters were fleshed out and I felt like I knew them and shared their triumphs and tragedies. This book is somewhat of an emotional roller coaster, and I had tears one minute, laughter the next. I would highly recommend it for anyone who has ever been a teenager and/or experienced a first love. Definitely not just for teens and young adults, IMO. I also plan to read his other book, Looking for Alaska.</span>"

Last summer my daughter (12, finished 6th grade) and I read this together out on our porch swing. We later saw the movie. The movie was well made, but it just didn't compare to the emotions of joy and sadness of reading the book. We laughed every day reading the book...not one laugh with the movie. She read some ahead of me. Not sure if she had a heads-up of the sex scene. She did tell me it was the ""following chapter"" and to read it without her...""too awkward.""  Yes, she was right about that! I can't remember the chapter or I'd give you all a heads-up. Not too detailed, but reading w/ a younger child needs to be examined ahead of time.</span>"

It beautifully captures the essence of love, life, and death. The characters are real, raw, and genuine and you will fall in love with them. This book will take you on an emotional rollercoaster ride but believe me when I say it will be absolutely worth it. It is extremely well-written and honest. This book has an incredibly deep and powerful message about making the most of the days you are given and enjoying every single moment with the ones you love. Not to mention, it is brimming with heartfelt quotes that will stick with you and haunt you even after you put it down. So, do yourself a favor and read it. Okay? Okay.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2GW2ATUVMRS22?ASIN=014242417X	Wow	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">All throughout reading this book, I thought about my circumstances. I'm so lucky. Of course, Augustus and Hazel Grace were too, because they went to Amsterdam and used their wishes on joy and were in love and all that blah,  but still. I know I don't want Cancer. And even after Augustus had his PET scan, all he thought about was Hazel. They were always so happy. I loved The Fault In Our Stars because it's like a normal teenager's thoughts on paper, she just happens to have cancer. And two awesome friends either in remission or that have cancer. I recommend this book to anyone who wants a reality check into life, but only slightly sugarcoated with with love and travel. Thanks, John Green!</span>"

I was wrong, the way this book was written gave not only cancer but death some dignity.  I never thought that I would be reading a book about cancer and death and young adults, it's just not my kind of story. This book was more than just a great story, it was a story about how young people with disabilities and illnesses still have to deal with family, friends, love, and life pressures. I know the book is not based on a true story,but it could have been. I suggest that anyone who has children healthy or not should read this book.  Thank you for writing it.</span>"

I ordered this book before I actually saw the movie previews for it, and I received the book today June 2, 2014, and I have never loved/had interest in a book so much. I have LITERALLY (not misusing the word here at all)  Been reading this book all day since I received it in the mail today. I have not wanted to put it down. I love this book!<br/>It has such an amazing and inspiring story line. This is definitely one of those books that you know you are going to read over and over again and never get sick of it.<br/>Bravo John Green!</span>"

The Fault In Our Stars is truly a must read! I've had this book on my tablet for I don't know how long. However, I am happy that in two days, I read this book and felt so much love and heart break for it. it was sad to read that Augustus had died, but he was truly a Prince Charming for me. Even when both Augustus and Hazel suffering cancer, he still managed to hold this optimistic spirit in himself for the both of them. Although he broke down and spent his final moments suffering, his love for Hazel was still very much. This is the first John Green novel I've read, and I must say, it won't be my last. I can't wait for the movie!</span>"

It changed my outlook on life itself, along with illness and death. I will never read a book that lives up to this one again. It was so well written and magnificenlty descriptive I COULD NOT put it down. John Green is a literary genius, literally. If you have not read this brilliant novel, I urge you to stop what you currently doing and read it immediately. You will not be disappointed, I assure you. I am only 15 years old and I have read this book three times in the last ten days. I promise you, it is the best book you will ever read! Please, for the sake of everything, READ THIS BOOK.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R33679KTGZA1KD?ASIN=014242417X	Worth the five stars and so much more...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I can't begin to explain the love I have acquired for this magnificent book. I am so ungodly picky when it comes to what I read. I was hesitant to read this in all honesty. I was hesitant because it seemed so cliche, but I couldn't have been more wrong. John Green has a way with words and a very special way of constructing them into a life changing, perspective changing novel that will forever change your outlook and value of life. I can wholeheartedly say that this book is worth far more than five stars and will undoubtedly be a regular read for me. I don't think I have any tears left in my body. If you read this and don't cry, you are soulless. Definitely my new favorite book!!!!!!!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2R6RV3Z9UGO8S?ASIN=014242417X	Summer Reading Project: Write Review For Amazon	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The book was about a lot about love because Hazel and Augustus were a couple who loved each other very much .This book is for middle schoolers and higher because it is about love and some elementary school children might not get it.even cried a little at the end it was very sad.I would really recommend this novel you will enjoy it gives you a different feelings through the book.Hazel meets Augustus in a cancer support group.Augustus had cancer but is clear for the time being.They go to Amsterdam but while on the trip Augustus gives Hazel some sad new and it falls apart from there.I would recommend it if you like romance novels or if you novels that can give you more than one emotion.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R354N5HHZFFODX?ASIN=014242417X	A very good story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read this book after reading, This Star Won't Go Out, about Esther Earl.  Although the main character in The Fault in Our Stars, Hazel, is based on Esther, she is a bit different so I wasn't constantly thinking of Esther as I read the book.  This is an excellent book for those of us with healthy, cancer-free bodies, who do not know what the families and the patients of cancer go through.  In a word, it is grueling.  John Green educates the reader without weighing us down with scientific facts that might be difficult to comprehend.<br/>The story is a teen love story with improbably witty, gorgeous teens.  But, that is my only complaint.  It is a story that is suitable for all ages.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1Q3UWL37KG3TV?ASIN=014242417X	An amazing but predictable story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I had no idea what I was getting into when I started the Fault in Our Stars. My cousin recommended it but didn't tell me what it was about. I found myself rapidly drawn into the characters. They are very well written and the book does a phenomenal job of building the characters and making you care about them.<br/><br/>There were a lot of very fun turns in the story, and I loved every second of it, but I could see the end coming about half way through the book. That said, the predictability of the story did nothing to spoil my enjoyment of it, and this is one of very few books which has had the ability to bring tears to my eyes in quite some time.<br/><br/>I heartily recommend it!</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1ADYI79C1XN5A?ASIN=014242417X	Good, but unrealistic	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">First of all, like the others, I am a huge John Green fan. His lovable, nerdy characters are quite endearing, and I find myself ""falling"" for his fictional characters. I'm not one to fan-girl, so this is really an impressive accomplishment.<br/><br/>However, my biggest problem with TFIOS is that the characters were flawless, especially Augustus. Honestly, can anyone who has read this novel tell me a single flaw that he had in his personality? There is no such thing as a flawless person, much less a flawless, cancerous, teenage boy. I'm not saying that having cancer is a flaw, but it often leads to anger and depression due to the disease, and he didn't seem to have either of those).</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R17LF3SBMJ7890?ASIN=014242417X	Loved this book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I love this book it was really good and after I watched the movie.  I am not going to give away the story on either, but I know that they packed as much of the book into the amount of time for the movie that they could.  It was really close to the book, but there are parts in the book that I really loved that was not in the movie.  I would recommend this book to teen girls to young women.  I am 34 with 2 teen daughters but I can still relate to the story line.  My normal read would be by James Patterson, and I prob would not have read it had it not been for my 15 year old since she was reading it on the way to the beach one day and read some of it out to me.  I am glad that she did.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RIOVTQILS5RL2?ASIN=014242417X	I want to say that this was a wonderfully written book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">First, I want to say that this was a wonderfully written book.  You may ask then, ""Why have you given it only 3 stars?"" The answer to this question is that the story for me was far to negative. The main character, Hazel, who was diagnosed with thyroid cancer, did not want to be labeled by ""cancer."" Yet, throughout the whole book, all she talked about was how much it sucked to have cancer. I tend to enjoy more uplifting books, however others may find this book very appealing. John Green does a wonderful job with character development, as the characters were easy to fall in love with. I was just hoping for a more uplifting story, and this book just didn't do it for me.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R6374JUWSMHP5?ASIN=014242417X	More Than Young Love	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The two character's disease-dictated lives never interfered with their ability to each see beyond the pic lines and canulas into the hearts and souls of others.  After experiencing a reasonable facsimilie-combo of both character's illness in that of my son's 17/24 year battle with lst, cancer, then later, the affects of the treatments, and his uncanny ability to keep those precious words at hand: ""determination"" and ""perseverance,"" I can honestly say that I first, avoided the book and the movie; then, when I had some thoughtful, soulful time, I proceeded to read a wonderfully enriching book with enough comic relief to inspire even the most informed or the most timid.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R32QYTHERMMC50?ASIN=014242417X	Too many faults in this book.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I'm not a Nerdfighter. I don't really follow John Green, so I don't love him and I don't hate him. I'm just a graduate student who has been inexplicably fascinated by cancer since middle school.<br/>A lot of my friends and family started telling me about this book and how I should read. ""Just don't read it in public,"" they warned, ""because you WILL cry."" Being a sucker for sob stories and cancer stories, I gave it a shot. I didn't have a lot of expectations for it. I just heard it was good and decided to try it for myself.<br/><br/>This book tries way too hard not to be a ""cancer book,"" which is described in the novel as an uplifting story of someone with cancer who fights bravely until the end, starts a foundation to help other kids with cancer, and then dies. Honestly, I've never read a cancer book like that. And books about cancer are a lot about books about dogs: someone is going to die. And when I saw it was stage 4 cancer patient Hazel performing a first-person narration, I knew it wasn't going to be her.<br/><br/>The cancer in this book is WAY too convenient. I have never had cancer, and my father's skin cancer was taken care of with one surgery, but doesn't having cancer- especially such an advanced cancer- mean a lot of doctors' appointments? Neither of these kids experience anything beyond mild fatigue until the author wants to evoke emotion. Hazel does have a scare near the beginning of the book, but she's fine and goes to Amsterdam THE NEXT WEEK.<br/><br/>These are kids who have, out of necessity, spent most of their lives in total isolation. They've been in hospitals, lost limbs, been face-to-face with death, and yet they aren't afraid, or exhausted, or coping with anything at all. They might as well have bronchitis. Another reviewer who was actually diagnosed with cancer points out that they scoff at group therapy (realistic) but stop there (unrealistic). Until one of them actually dies, they just quote poetry at each other.<br/><br/>That brings me to the biggest problem of the book: people will say over and over that having a terminal illness makes you grow up faster and be wiser and more observant, etc, but these kids do not have one shred of real dialogue. They don't act like teenagers at all. They don't act like realistic people at all. They quote books and poetry at each other and the AIRLINE lets them drink just so they can have some line about drinking stars. They put unlit cigarettes between their teeth and make out in the Anne Frank house and have sex and there's no sense of teenage awkwardness or anything.<br/><br/>They're annoying. They're pretentious. And when you combine that with the fact that the cancer is just a crude device used to illicit emotion out of teenagers, I didn't cry when one of the characters died. I couldn't. I never connected enough to.<br/>The only parts of the book that came close to getting a tear out of me were the ones with Hazel and her mother. The mother is I guess a pretty typical portrayal of a ""Cancer Mom"" (they deserve the capitalization) who has become very protective of her child after, you know, the cancer the reader never had to deal with.<br/><br/>The romance between Hazel and Augustus seemed to be built on notes taken from Twilight. How do they meet? He shows up at support group and stares at her. He tells her she looks like Natalie Portman and she quotes some existential stuff about oblivion from some stupid vaguely postmodern book (which is also a crude plot device) and it's love. That's it. She has some reservations because she has been declared terminal, but she throws those out the window because, well, he's hot and likes her. And also the cancer doesn't really matter.<br/><br/>The book had some quotable stuff: Pain demands to be felt. Illness repulses. My thoughts are stars I cannot fathom into constellations. But it's shoved into a context that is unrealistic and forced and contrived (""why do eggs have breakfast exclusivity?"" whines supposedly-teenage-Hazel).<br/><br/>I have tried to write short stories about cancer patient. I only got close to being comfortable with the whole thing once. It's a difficult thing to do. Writing about an illness is almost impossible unless you've been there yourself. I'm not a cancer patient, but I feel like cancer patients are probably offended by this book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RQOWS0WIPLZUG?ASIN=014242417X	pretty good	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">As a reader of other genres, I found this book to create characters with real depth and personality. They look at the world from a different perspective than the majority of teen characters.  Depending on how you personally view the world will help you decide if you find the book beautiful and tragic due to illness and love or due to the character's explanation of the universe.  I encourage readers to really retread certain lines multiple times in order to truly absorb the message.<br/><br/>As a whole, it was witty, sweet and uplifting even with its topics of discussion. It really isn't a ""cancer book"" it is a book about life and our place in the world. Read it and enjoy!</span>"
1.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3VTZS64LS5FIS?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book charts the ups and downs of two cancer riddled teenagers. It has its hilarious moments, and it has its moments that make you cry excruciatingly hard. In my opinion, a book that can build a story so<br/> detailed and emotional that it makes you laugh out loud and sob to yourself is a book with whom the author is experienced and has lived a life that has given him the sadness, pain, and humor to create a book that you love like a person. I love this book because it's real. It doesn't have a predictable ending. It saddens those who read it but it also is filled to the top with wonderful thought as and ideas and characters. That is why I give this novel full of life 5 stars.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was very captivating from the beginning; it instantly catches your feelings for a very heavy topic. John Green is one of those authors who is able to write on different topics but have such a wide audience that it effects so many people.  A story about two cancer teenagers and the feelings they are going through as they navigate though life and the ups and downs with their friends and themselves. There are many unexpected events that happen that add another element to the story and make it go deeper than it had before.<br/><br/>It was a rather quick read; and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a book that gives you more to chew on after you are done reading it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3JKRUAQ556X82?ASIN=014242417X	AMAZING	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book has by far to be the best books I have ever read. I have to warn you it is not exactly your average heart warming, loving story. While reading this book, I had identified my sensitive side. Throughout the book you are assuming something when the unthinkable happens. When reading this book, I thought it was going to like the average book you force yourself into reading just so you can say you have something to do. But then I started to get into the book and I couldn't keep my nose out of it. If you have a soft or sensitive side you will enjoy this book but if you'd rather keep up your manly side I'd suggest that you either read this book by yourself or look for a new one.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RUKV0WMSQ510O?ASIN=014242417X	Excellent prose, mindful read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I enjoyed this for insightful teens and a quick read for adults. It was an excellent, honest, crass look from a childhood cancer host's perspective. As a former host, I found it most refreshing to find a novel that dealt with the reality that we secretly harbor morbid thoughts and  death wishes and resentment for those who demand us to be soldiers. It can be a burden to carry the outward cheer everyone needs and the narrator tells all.<br/>Misses the mark on the few oncological details present which is distracting to those who know cancer treatment. That will distract many who read the book unfortunately. If one can overlook that and focus on the real message, it is a great work!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R22E8WAL5YEAP8?ASIN=014242417X	A love story that takes a turn	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars was a well written love story for people who like non-fantasy stories. As a fantasy freak I thought that this one was one of the better books that doesnt have a whole world behind it. I would recomend this book to young teen adults. But in the end to save the tissue the love bird Augustus dies of a cancer problem. Sad, yes but its true. I thought the charactera could of been developed more clearly but over all it was a good turn out. But almost all the kids that read it say that it was a really really amazing book. I just also personally dont like the actress who played the other starcross lover Hazel, but thats just my opinion. Really good turn out though.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I try to avoid books like this.  I much prefer fantasy and excitement to melancholy tales of people dying of cancer, or sappy teen age love stories, and this one was both.  However, my wife does read books like this, so it was on my kindle and I accidentally started it one day.  A couple of sentences, and I was hooked.  The characters are compelling and extremely believable, and I do appreciate it when a book speaks of Venn diagrams, Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, Shakespeare, Eliot, William Carlos Williams, and Cezanne.  The heartfelt conversations about the meaning of life and death mean that after reading this book, you will be a more complete person than before you started it.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RFUBT8GM6VMZ2?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I have never read a book that has touched my not only emotionally but physically as well. For I have only taken a peek into the life of those with cancer...and I do not want to pity them but applaud them and admire them of their courageousness and strength. And yes I know the book is fictional, but it is really? For it has touched my heart and has widened  my view of the world. I praise the author with such talents to capture such a vivid image and THEN have the ability to share this image unto the reader. Augustus and Hazel will always remain known in my mind. And it will be a while before I am privileged to read a book as EXTRAORDINARY as this.<br/><br/>  -M. Jefferson(2014)</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RJZRMNSNMHH8F?ASIN=014242417X	Hard Row to Hoe	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This was a particularly difficult book for me to read as I have a very young family member grappling with the same issues.  It was helpful in a way, however, to hear the thoughts of another patient and to note the interactions of parents and friends which I think were probably ""right on"".<br/>It is hard, as a parent, to ""let them go"" and ""do their own thing"".  The tendency is to be over-protective and to want to know all their thoughts and feelings but that is unrealistic and unfair.  They are entitled to their privacy and to their dignity.  Now, if I can only remember that!<br/>A good read.  Maybe think twice if you are really close to this situation.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2OPCAT1MMS5VQ?ASIN=014242417X	Didn't love it, but liked it enough to read his other work.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read the book in a few days' time (because I work full time), and enjoyed the pace and tone of the story.  I know people have commented on the characters' use of ""big"" words in the book, but I thought John Green got the voices of the characters down really well and actually did a good job explaining their use of those ""big"" words.  Mr. Green is a wonderful writer, and I will read his other books (already have one of them in my Kindle ready to go).  I think the one thing that bothered me even the tiniest bit was how quick the two main characters' relationship developed, but maybe it's because I'm older and don't understand how teens' relationships work anymore.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RSG4TNETSSBN7?ASIN=014242417X	Fantastic!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">It's cliche but I love the quote in this book. 'I fell in love with him the way you fall asleep. Slowly, and then ask at once.' Fantastic! I didn't expect to like this book so much. I have a disinterest in reading mainstream books... however I also have a rule that if I plan to watch the movie I must first read the book. I'm glad I did! I'd be lying if I said I didn't cry like a small child reading this book. It's just the type of story it is. You will also laugh very hard at times also. It makes me think about writing authors though. I never have, perhaps it's something a person should consider. If you haven't read this book, strongly recommend fixing that error in judgement!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3MKMGUJD04VQQ?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in our Stars is  a perfect combination of humor and disappointment. The more that you indulge in this book, the stronger the connection that you make with the characters. John Green created a masterpiece that is quite impossible to put down.<br/>As my mother died of stage 4 Breast Cancer when I was at the age of 13, I could relate to this incredible story. Somehow, this novel can make you laugh and cry in the same sentence. If you have not read this novel, please, I am asking you to read it.<br/>This book will change the way that you think about life.<br/>Bravo, Mr. John Green. You described the life of two teenagers that have cancer extremely close to perfection.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R334ACNUZHO0C?ASIN=014242417X	Keeps your attention	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This novel is for young adults, but it will definitely keep your attention. It is the story of teens who have cancer, and how they deal with their illness, and the realization that we are all mortal.  It is narrated by a sixteen year old girl named Hazel, who has been diagnosed with terminal lung cancer, although she is in remission. The language used is extremely mature, and knowledgeable.  Part of this is due to her illness, part of it because she is an avid reader, and this come shinning through.  Realistic?  Probably not, but is, after all, fiction.  You will laugh at some of her adventures with her friends, and there will be some crying too. All in all, it is a good read.</span>"

It moves me each time I read the eulogy Gus wrote for Hazel just like Hazel confirms that she was his girlfriend. I think I am so moved by the story that I could lose the perspective of being objective to write a preview.<br/>There was use of the word ""whatever"" throughout the book and I didn't like to read it only a couple of times. All the characters are s9 clearly defined and also carried in the movie so well. The aspirations of a human being to be remembered is so well portrayed.<br/>Bottomline, even if people find this book a little sad or without a happy ending, they need to know that some stories do not have one.</span>"

It is a love story full of adventure excitement and disappointment in what happens next. The ending is the REAL disappointment. Sad yet tells a story t that can be said as true. Sure like all other books there are the points that get you exited and leave you in a pool of boredom. But in the end it is all worth it to hear the sad yet true (love) story of Hazel Lancaster, and Augustus Waters. I read this book cover to cover and it is still a great book all and all, and I encourage everyone who loves a sweet love story to read this book. Of course you will read the first sentence of chapter twenty-five you will automatically start to cry because it is so sad.</span>"

I wanted to savor the moments that Green's language created. I wanted to extend the experience of joy and sadness a bit longer. So I put the book down. Waited a few days until I could not bare not-knowing, and then I picked it up again.<br/><br/>Green perfectly crafts each character so that you get just enough to know the character, but not too much that the character becomes a rigid archetype.<br/><br/>This is a sad book. If you don't want to feel, then don't read this book. Scratch that. You will want to feel. In the way that Hazel and Augustus make you feel, you will long to read this tiny, infinite novel.</span>"

I'd never read anything by John Green and chose it simply based on the synopsis of the plot and reading the sample.  I was not disappointed.  In fact this is probably one of the best ""unintentional"" reads I've come across.<br/><br/>The characters are well crafted and endearing.  Like any teenagers they had their mixture of sweetness and snarkiness of fighting the good fight or lashing out.  I ended up loving these kids.  The story made me cry and made me laugh and somehow despite all the tragedy left me happy that I had made their acquaintance.<br/><br/>I'll be looking for other books by John Green.</span>"

I never knew how great it really was ( those same friends also recommended series like twilight, but as a thirteen year old boy it's not hard to imagine I wasn't into that stuff). This book kind of reminds me of the book thief, both death oriented and both very witty. I enjoyed how the book was kind of a cliche with how the book in the book ended. By that I mean they both ended on a note where you don't know if the character will live or ""bite it"", but what you do know is that it was a profound book. This book also showed a lot of the characters maturing and changing throughout the book.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3269V1MT64S1Y?ASIN=014242417X	Brilliant	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Without being maudlin, John Green has created a strong story about kids with cancer. There are infinite ways to live and die - being a teenager battling one form of cancer after another is a challenge. Green captures the main characters' tenacious hold on life as relationships with other teens and their families are tested to the extreme. He creates a story within a story that takes the reader deeper into the psychological realm of adolescence. Green uses sharp wit to bare emotions and let us understand that knowing one is going to die young does not mean one cannot live with that knowledge.<br/><br/>This YA book is one that anyone who knows a kid with cancer should read.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2YGRULCLM233H?ASIN=014242417X	I fell in love and it broke my heart.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I am not a person who spends a lot of time reviewing anything. Actually, this may be the first review I've ever taken the time to write. Regardless, I'll keep it short and sweet.<br/>I rarely fall in love with a book so fast. From the time I opened it to the time  put it down, I was captured. I literally spent my day in bed reading this beautiful story. I couldn't help it. I laughed as much as I cried. But this was one of the best books I have read in a long time. I will be re reading it and I will stay away from the theater when it comes out. There is no way that they can make this book as beautiful on screen as it is in writing.<br/><br/>I will be re-reading this book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R16I66E1037JEB?ASIN=014242417X	I couldn't have written it better myself... literally	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I've spent quite sometime now, thinking of a review for this book; but that's just it, one simple review could not even begin to describe all of the feelings that have come from reading this book. Everyone longs to be loved like Hazel was loved by Augustus; to be (almost) eternally optimistic like Augustus; and be able to be strong for their kids in time of what seems to us like injustice. I, like many readers I am sure of, wanted so badly the made-up book ""An Imperial Affliction"" to be real that I disregarded the author's note at the beginning, and searched for it anyways. No, there simply is not enough words in the world to describe what this book has done to me.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2I1JQX646UUBH?ASIN=014242417X	I like John Green the Youtuber	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I like John Green the Youtuber. Not much John Green the writer. His writing style seems forced at times; like he was trying too hard to sound intelligent. I know for a fact that he IS intelligent from his vlogs and Crash Course videos but I think he could have wrote this book without some of the pretentious parts.<br/>I get the message that he was trying to send through this book. I thought it was good idea. This, however, is not a new topic and there are plenty of other books that cover this topic and are written better.<br/>So overall, I think this is a mediocre book at best. This is my first John Green book, and I don't know if I'll be reading any more of his books.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R32YI32M4GMD0P?ASIN=014242417X	Truth	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I stayed away from this book for a long time because sobbing whilst reading didn't appeal.  I've known enough people ""fighting"" cancer to think this would be thoroughly depressing.  I was wrong.  Hazel Grace is one of the best characters I've read in a long time, but more importantly, she's real.  She talks and thinks like an actual teenager who is living with a terminal diagnosis, though clearly a very intelligent one who spends more time with adults than kids her age.  Everything from the humor to the anger to the despair rang true, and my heart ached for every character I met.  Highly recommend this for anyone who enjoys an engaging story and truly amazing characters.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R9GTZHMPL4DTM?ASIN=014242417X	What we all should strive for	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">John Green has done something that seems almost impossible into something now common. We all have wishes to leave a mark on the world, but in the end, we all are a part of  the Improbable Creatures club. To do find out what that means, I suggest you read this book. A good book knows how to make you laugh, allow you a close attachment to characters, a firm hatred to other characters, a moment to sob and a moment of grieving a within 3 chapters. Green does this without flaw. Simple love and kinship has never been portrayed like Green did so. This story has a great darkness looming above it though and the battle is not with anything physical, but Something with a capital S.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2PZY960YH12G5?ASIN=014242417X	I don't get it	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I don't understand what all the hype is about with this book and why exactly it would be produced into film. I am grateful for an honest book about death and dying, and the devastating impact illness has, but with that said, I don't get it.<br/>I don't understand the whole idea that this book is remotely uplifting or ""beautiful"" as some have called it. To me, this book is depressing and quite frankly a confusing read. It feels the author has made an attempt to cram so much in such a short story (yeah, yeah, we must cram as much life into our short time on this planet...message received), that the story gets jumbled.<br/>I wanted to like this book, but I just couldn't.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1R9IYLCB3ZKXU?ASIN=014242417X	Excellent Read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I absolutely adored this novel, and have recommended it to everyone I know. John Green is a truly talented artist who made a teen girl's voice come to life so well you would never guess it was written by a grown man. I love the quirky &amp; clever dialogue, while some say its unrealistic for teenagers I say its spot on. If, If the characters are too witty for you or your friends to relate to, I recommend you get new friends and read more! Not all teens are as dimwitted as Bella Swan. This book made me laugh, and cry. Ugly cry. But it was worth it for the awesome story. A reminder that life sometimes sucks and its up to each of us to appreciate, and find beauty in it anyway.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1UQ3RZHC3139A?ASIN=014242417X	the fault in our stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I know I'm SUPPOSED to LOVE this book. What could be more tragic than cancer is only the idea of young people succumbing to the ravishes of this dreadful disease just as they are supposed to be discovering themselves and starting their lives. Instead I felt I was being manipulated by the author to have one continuous gut wrenching cry. Dialogue was contrived and there were events that were beyond the scope of reality. The protagonists, had they been healthy, were bigger than life (no pun intended). This story would've impacted me more if the two main characters had been more ordinary and the events more realistic. I will admit though, that the book did hold my attention</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RXL7D5O84HZC8?ASIN=014242417X	Infinite	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Most book are sugar coated this one is not and very blunt it was the most insensitive book I have ever read and I love it there is no other way to describe it other than amazing and even that does not fit it I guess the only word for it is infinite. Hazel is an amazing character with a completely different perspective of the world no one else does and she's right you shouldn't fear something universal and inevitable there is no point the infinite will be infinite whereas the fearful will only be forgotten this world will end we cannot stop it we can only enjoy the numbered days we have left on it .  stop fighting start saving stop hurting start loving.<br/>Be infinite</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3HVGU03B9IXX2?ASIN=014242417X	What can I say to make you understand?	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Honestly. This book was amazing. And I'm not saying this because that's what the world thinks as well. (The world has good taste.) I'm saying this because this book showed me the many metaphors in life. The reasons why it's not ok to stop fighting. I couldn't put the book down. I simply couldn't. The love between Hazel and Augustus was infinite. And yes this book was sad. But not the kinda sad that's like boom lets lay It all in you so you can see how seriously bad this is. It's the kinda sad that makes you think about the series of events and whether you'd be able to handle as well as the characters did. These people are strong. I admired them from the very beginning.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R394LRBB7POD04?ASIN=014242417X	A Must Read for Teens	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">TFIOS is a wonderfully written story that in my opinion should be read by every teenager because not only is it a wonderful love story but also it deals with something that many people are reluctant to discuss with teenagers - death. The book is about people living with cancer so if you didn't already assume someone will die, you should make it a point to understand foreshadowing, John Green does a wonderful job explaining death and everything that encompasses it in a way that is both philosophical and entertaining, you learn an important life lesson without actually realizing you have learned it until you close the back cover and sit there in shock for a few minutes.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2WKAMNW58FQ16?ASIN=014242417X	A brilliant immersion into teenage Cancervania	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I don't lightly use the label ""great"" and yet this book is such a brilliant immersion into teenage Cancervania that it deserves the attention it is getting and more. A book to be taught in school though it will likely lead to teenage boys who buy cigarettes they intend to hold in their mouths, but not light. This will be a small price to pay for introducing them to Hazel and Augustus as well as their friend Isaac and their parents. This journey to the ""literal heart of Jesus"" and many destinations metaphorical is worth the tears shed in reading it.<br/><br/>I listened to the exceedingly well-performed unabridged audio and recommend that experience.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I loved this book because it had the suffering and the romance a good book needs. Most  books I pick up I like, but I have to say, this is one of my favorites. I recommend this book to middle school students and 9th graders. From personal experience, this shows how the family with<br/>deals the cancer. My grandmother had lung cancer, that moved to her Brest, and adding the brain, gave her brain and Brest cancer. Esther, about 4 years ago, my grandmother died and left me, and Many other people devastated. This showed me not from only the lovers side of the cancer process, but the cancer victim too. I love this book!! READ THIS BOOK!!!!!! Not joking, really, read it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1O84DIUYYQJPZ?ASIN=014242417X	Insightful to how others might think or feel	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read this book because I had become a fan of the Vlog brothers and especially John Green; and learned that it would soon be a movie released this summer.<br/>I was not disappointed. It read well, and the characters give such a unique look to how those people in real life might feel and act. The tory kept me surprised by the action even though the storyline is no surprise at all. (That comment was a positive one, BTW; dealing with terminal diseases, there is only so many outcomes- as well as a romantic story.)<br/>Fear not to spend your hard earned dollars on this book. Or his other book I read, Looking for Alaska. John Green is a very talented and bright writer.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R271DNMPO2OAKC?ASIN=014242417X	How does he do it?	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I began reading books by John Green when  my 15 year old told me she ""loved his books"". I like to know what my children read and what they love. Teens are not so forthcoming in conversation sometimes, so, I will ""take what I can get"".<br/>  On to the book.....it was wonderful and witty and much more intelligent and deep than I have given my teen credit for finding an interest in. Good, though sad, subject matter, but dealt with extremely realistically. Many positive moments throughout this book. It is the nature of the illness. I speak as a Mom, a hospice nurse and as a survivor of 2 bouts with cancer. I will read every book by John Green that I can get my hands on</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1YHRKT439Q1YL?ASIN=014242417X	Good Book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Honestly I really enjoyed the book, BUT there were several times during the book where I was like ""do teenagers really talk like that??"" (none that I know of)<br/><br/>The characters of Hazel and Gus were great I mean I did like them, I loved how they were openly honest with the cancer they were going through, talking about 'cancer perks' and metaphors.<br/><br/>From first when Hazel and Gus started falling in love with each other I could almost call the ending of the book. I knew that was the turn the book was going to head in.<br/><br/>But all in all it was a great book, my 13 year old is about to read it and I really think she is going to enjoy it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1KAQ99BU63X8J?ASIN=014242417X	A Tearful Beauty	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">My mother once told me, ""some books make you laugh, others make you cry, but those are the good books, the ones worth reading.""  This book had me crying every few seconds, it is not a good book, it is an amazing book.<br/><br/>I remember one thing I have said after certain books, ""All things have a purpose, and all books have a meaning.  It's meaning may have importance, or some may become a connection that you want to remember as long as you can.  Their importance may only be its connection, or much more.""  This book has an emotional connection that I want to always remember, and I hope that The Fault In Our Stars, this tearful beauty, will mean the same to you.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R4S7J3CB9IM7V?ASIN=014242417X	Brilliantly written	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">""The universe wants to be noticed-""<br/><br/>Within this book, I ""noticed"" a non-romanticized stare at adolescents dying of cancer, including physical and emotional ups and downs.  This is a beautifully written account, touching on topics such as the effect on families, how the families might effect the patients, living in the moment, and trying to make the best of the time you have left.  Within that context, different characters had different reactions to their realities, as well as hopes and fears for the futures of those they loved.  John Green succeeded in the task of taking a heart-wrenching story and making it into an enjoyable and believable tale.  Bravo!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R11NBJ5U9BFXEF?ASIN=014242417X	The most Lovable, Heart Wrenching book I have ever read.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book as I said I said in my title was amazing, loving, and most definitely heart wrenching. This book captures Augustus's and Hazel's struggle together and separately. When reading this book I realized that even though Gus and Hazel both have cancer, John Green made their romance like every other teenager's relationship. At the end of this book I said to one of my friends who already read th  book ""Cassie, I have no reason to live my life now that Gus is gone"" Well, what I'm trying to say is that this book is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING and I would reccomend it to literally anyone except for the fact that their is wee bit of sexual content. So overall it was awesome!!!</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1TLUDCQVV2ZOB?ASIN=014242417X	Shakespeare has nothing on John Green	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I was gifted this book by a friend. For the first week, I only read the first page then shut the book. Then yesterday, I decided to give it a go. What stopped me was the word 'Cancer'. I have lost 2 people in 5 years to lung cancer. Both were my step parents. So when I read that first page, I wasn't sure if I could get past it. Last night I didn't want to stop reading. The connection of Hazel to Gus was nothing short of amazing. Every character gave me some sort of greater love for the people I lost. The POV was perfect. I felt like I was Hazel for the whole day I took to read it. Every up and down I felt her roller coaster. I think I will read it again many times.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R6I7O20LIXEK8?ASIN=014242417X	BEST BOOK EVEER	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Ok, so let me start off by saying that this is now my all-time favorite book. It is a sad love story that will make you shed at least a few tears. I mean, I never ever have cried about books, because I'm like, ""The author wanted me to feel this way."" But this book is not at all like that. It is easy going and touching as you've never seen it before. It is just amazing. I'm 13 and felt that is was definitely appropriate for my age. If you are hesitating whether or not to buy this book, give it a chance. The first few pages are slow, but as you read, it will get better. I promise. Just read Fault in our Stars and you will be changed like many of us have been.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3MQMJJF95CU8Q?ASIN=014242417X	Oh...this book...this book...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">There are over one million ratings for this book, so I doubt a long, winded review from me is necessary. This book brought me to tears several times. It brought out the reality of the thoughts and feelings of children/adults who have a terminal illness. Though the narration and the conversations were light and often comical, there was still a heavy burden on my heart as I finished the book. The story of Agustus and Hazel is a sweet one, but also very heart breaking.<br/>Cancer is cruel. Cancer is outrageously unfair. I am so glad that Green decided to put that reality on paper. This book was an amazing tribute. I think this is one that I will read more than once.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R33VBAJ1373C29?ASIN=014242417X	Easy read young adults would enjoy	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars was a nice, easy read which evoked different emotions: laughter and tears of sadness. I am an adult and would recommend this to other adults but with some clarification. I enjoyed getting to know Gus and Hazel ....  Two teens with cancer and a depth of understanding ""life"".  Their times together were my favorite parts in this book. I felt the book was a little predictable with lots of foreshadowing but that it also handled the cancer aspect in a different and thought-provoking way.  I did find the character of Van Houten too contrived and unbelievable. I do think Young Adults would give this book 5 stars. I am sure my daughter would.</span>"

The only reason I would give it four stars is because the beginning bored me to death. Seriously. It didn't draw me in at all. There really was not enough action or suspense. My friends were all really into this book so I thought I'd better try it. Wasn't a waste of my time but wasn't one of my all time favorites.I guess I can see why people say Gus and Hazel talk like 40 year-olds (especially Hazel's good friend Kaitlyn) but once I really got into the book it didn't really bother me.  I did cry at the end of this book and you will too. I would recommend this book to people who are bored and want to read a good book.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R35UFS099HZKRI?ASIN=014242417X	Serious Fiction for Young Adults	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I don't read YA novels as a general rule.  I tried a different popular YA love story novel for a book group and was infuriated at the lack of true introspection and the stagnant dialogue.  The Fault in our Stars is another book group pick, and I will admit that I groaned when I heard the subject, expecting a cancer story that shied away from adult topics to ""spare"" teens.<br/><br/>Teenagers are smarter than we give them credit for, and this novel has renewed my faith in YA fiction.  At first the dialogue seemed a little accelerated, but I would much rather read a book with very clever (or ""too"" clever) characters than flat dialogue from unintelligent characters.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RPRWNWNJJM2FH?ASIN=014242417X	Not bad for a work ok fiction	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I normally do not read works of fiction, this is only my second in the past year or so and the other one, written by Craig Ferguson, was hideous. But I found this work to be very well written and an easy read. The grace and strength of the main characters, Hazel and Gus, in facing what has two be an unimaginably cruel fate should serve as a lesson to us all, one can handle almost anything if one really wants to, it is a matter of will. Do not know if I could.<br/><br/>Knowing the story was now on the screen but being totally ignorant of the cast, I began to wonder who was cast as Van Houten. Willem Dafoe is perfect.<br/><br/>All in all, a very enjoyable book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R39KHQPB1GFS6O?ASIN=014242417X	Sadly Beautiful and Amazing!!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I loved this book. My friends also pushed me to read it. I have not had cancer, but I know someone who did. So when I read this book, and watched the movie after, it was relatable. It was sad and it brought back memories I wish to not remember. The story was heartbreakingly beautiful. I love the love Hazel and Gus both share. It is beautiful and I love there story. I love this book: with it's beauty, love, and charming humor it is probably one of the best books I have ever read, and I probably will ever read. You need to read this book, you will fall in love with it. I though do not get the negative reviews. Like seriously?? ANYWAYS READ THIS BOOK ITS AMAZING!!!!</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RWH0JUKSKLG3W?ASIN=014242417X	No Faults Here	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Just finished The Fault in Our Stars. I had no idea what is was about and I'm glad because I wouldn't have read it if I had. I have a daughter who has brain tumors and sad medical stories are not my favorite. I can't believe how funny, well written, and true it is! I cried through the whole thing but sometimes they were tears of laughter. I had to wear sunglasses and a hat pulled down low when I read in public. I wouldn't put myself through the dehydration if it wasn't totally worth it. Can't give it 5 stars because (spoiler alert) of the deaths. I would have enjoyed an American movie ending better. I have to go order every other title John Green has written now!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/ROY0E18SS7UY4?ASIN=014242417X	Not Appealing, but then I am a Boomer	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read this because I did not get to see the movie, which was well-received. As an adult I did not find this a worthwhile reading experience, but I don't think I would have liked it as a teen either. I would have preferred ""Jane Eyre,"" ""The Return of the Native,"" or ""To Kill a Mockingbird.""  I would still like to see the movie. That could be a better medium for telling this kind of story for me. The story and book are OK, but just OK for me. But if you are a youth considering reading this book, look to reviews from young people. Preferences and perspectives from an older person like me may not be valid for your time and place in the world</span>"

That is The Fault In Our Stars. The book that you recommend to everyone but you don't lend your copy out to anyone.<br/><br/>Because I saw the movie prior to reading the book, I knew what was coming. I knew it would be sad. I knew I would need my fingers and toes to count the amount of times I would cry while reading the book.  Over the past two weeks I had bouts of laughing aloud causing quick stares and squinted eyed glances then instantaneously tears would be streaming down my face, and I loved every minute of it.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I'm very much in the minority with my rating of 2 stars, but I just couldn't get into this book!  The cancer topic made me think the book would be very serious and somber, however, I felt that it didn't want you to truly FEEL the pain and agony of the characters health issues.  I couldn't seem to muster up the empathy I should have felt.  In fairness to the book, I didn't finish reading it, so it's possible that later on it got better.  Another thing is that I'm not into young adult books.  So, while I gave a low rating, maybe a lot of it is just me.  Friends who have read it all feel it was worthy of 10 stars.  Oh, well, I hope if you try it, you will enjoy it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3RCJV2K6SD4V8?ASIN=014242417X	A Powerful, Moving Story...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Though I must first admit I willingly suffer from the affliction of Biblical Christianity--a door that remains locked here--this truly powerful love story explores realities, questions, and experiences usually swept under the rug among the young. This first-person account, told by a precocious dying 16-year-old girl goes far beyond a typical teen novel. There are the expected adult comical buffoons, but there are many enviable adults as well. Not predictable in many ways. Well written with an unexpected international travel and<br/> many thought-provoking exchanges. My wife and I read it aloud together.  --John Knapp II , EARTH IS NOT ALONE, adozenseconds.com.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1WWVHWT9XZY7J?ASIN=014242417X	The fault in our stars by John green	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The book was very complicated at first. Very big wording, and I got lost in all the complication of it all. But half way through it made sense, why it was the way it was written. This story depicts a true love story, as it should be written, but sad to see it end so soon. But unfortunately that is the way of life, we never know exactly when our life will be over. Some of us will live a very long life, while others only live a short life. It's not fair, is there a book with our names in it, that  states how long we will be here for? Or is it really a mystery. I guess will never know, but we should all take each and every day to the fullest, as it maybe our last.</span>"

2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2AQ2XLD2Q94R7?ASIN=014242417X	A book that made an impact.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">After reading this book which I found intense emetional touching and very well written, I wanted to see the reviews just to compare my impressions of the book.<br/>I am with the 5 stars. It is the reviews of the lesser stars that got me to give my opinion. I feel anyone who thinks ""teenagers"" don't think like Hazel and Augustus are out of touch with today's youth. The adults need to listen to what they have to say to realize how profound they are if given a chance to express freely. Especially when you have had to fight a serious illness life has a different meaning.<br/>This is coming from a 74 year old woman, mother and grandmother, not a teenager.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3GJZB8OJUXJ79?ASIN=014242417X	bewildered	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I really hate crying and I really don't like crying while reading. I have a tendency to get completely lost in books and this was worse than others. Was this a good book? Was it""real""? Would I recommend it? No, this book is filed with terrible, emotional, madness and that sucks. It absolutely felt real, complete with heartbreaking sobs and pain (I have a headache from crying). Despite the torture I would absolutely recommend it and I know I will read it again, although I will need to read some comedy or something before revisiting this book. I hate the ending but I suppose that's the point and since we're not in a wish granting factory it won't change.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R82YGH8J2ZGFW?ASIN=014242417X	Not what I expected...in ways...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Okay so it's a good book in the way that it made me feel things. Incredibly sad things, mostly. But still...I felt.<br/>It only got 3 stars bc okay it's incredibly realistic and that's awesome if that's what you're going for. But it was a little too bleak for me. Forgive me, I know I shouldn't, but I just enjoy reading/watching things with some ""magical"" or ""fairy-tale"" ending (,middle, or beginning). I mean, we get enough of real life-I'm real life. I just wish he had romanticized it a bit more in someway. That being said however, I would absolutely recommend this book to the realists at heart. If I wasn't such an optimist at heart, I'd given it 5 stars!</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R392KD8V52199H?ASIN=014242417X	Deeply moving	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I loved the sensitive yet raw handling of a real life situation: cancer and death.  It was humorous and heart rending, thoughtful and sarcastic.  The heroine was so easy to love and when she described herself as a grenade, I felt her anguish as not wanted to blow up and hurt all those she loved most.  This book deals with things we don't like to think about, as Hazel puts it: oblivion.  It got myself and my husband talking about our own eventual demise and what kind of plans we would like for each other.  Because these kids were so young, there was the added drama of young love and young death.  I laughed and cried profusely.  It was a very cathartic book.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2OCGSVCERCIBP?ASIN=014242417X	Better towards the end	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I wasn't sure I even wanted to read this book based on the synopsis, but after reading so many good things from friends, I decided to give it a whirl. It started out slow, and at first I wasn't a fan. I didn't like that these teens talked in a way teens never would. The language and vocabulary was just not realistic.<br/><br/>Soon, though, the story of Hazel Grace and Augustus overshadowed my dislikes and I became wrapped up in the love story. It keep me wanting to read more. Eventually, my emotions got to me and I cried as I finished the last few chapters. John Green does a great job of pulling at your heart strings. Definitely a recommended quick read.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RGR73WJ0C1TPM?ASIN=014242417X	The perfect book for a rainy weekend!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book touched me right to my soul. I put off reading it for a long time because my husband is a survivor of leukaemia but during the time we were there we met a lot of people who were not lucky enough to survive. The book displayed real true emotions and how cancer patients really feel. It was a book that I didn't want to put down from the second I started it. Without doubt in the top three books I have ever read. It had me smiling and laughing, being annoyed in other places, feeling the love a lot and also crying into my pillow. If you're looking for a book to be totally absorbed in, don't pass this book. I want to read it again and again and again!!</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3QTCBLS1C3M5N?ASIN=014242417X	Deep Thought and Tears	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I loved and hated this book. The writing is wonderful and the characters Hazel and Gus are so memorable. Still now after reading I am thinking of them. The hate I have comes just because I do not like to cry and that is exactly what I did while reading this book, it brought so much emotion out of me!<br/><br/>I am not going to say much because I want you to read this book without giving anything away from the story. Hazel and Gus are two teenagers who have fought or are fighting cancer and the friendship they find in each other is a friendship everyone should hope to achieve in their lifetime. A friendship so complete an limitless that you yearn for it!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3KU3T9E9DVW96?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing book!!!!!!!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I  loved this book so much! I loved how you never saw the end coming and yet it came. Everyone loves a good love story but this was way different it was a story on how to live your life right how the present is a gift something we have to help us trough hard times in life and it also prepares us for the future and when the future comes that we will be ready for it. It's also like this star not go out its an autobiography about s girl who has thyroid cancer and lives a happy life with her family. This taught me to love what you have and not to grieve for what you don't have. If you haven't already bought this book try a sample and if you like it buy it now</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3F9C2YJFYM52U?ASIN=014242417X	well done	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">It was good. Honest about illness and pain. Or at the very least, thought provoking. It provides the suffering something to point to to help those understand. That is, those chronically suffering. The masochistic humor may be offsetting for those who have not experienced chronic pain and illness but once you have, or once you have read something like this, you begin to understand the truth of pain. And the alleviation that amounts when you point it out. No sense in hiding behind masks of hunky dory. Life is rough and sometimes it takes a severe pain to make us live in such a way that we are honest about all of the brokenness in both ourself and the world.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3DKDVYQRZXAQX?ASIN=014242417X	The fault in our stars: a great read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I didn't actually read this but I listened to it on a audio cd. The fault in our stars is (as you probably know already) about a teenage girl who has terminal cancer and she meets a boy who is in remission and they fall in love. It is very well written but I'm afraid that if I sat down to read this in my own I would have lost interest because of the way hazel and Gus speak sometimes. I love reading and hate stopping in the middle of a book. I think I could read it on own now, but not initially. I love this book and give it 4.95 stars which is basically 5 stars. I am at war with myself about the ending. Not giving anything away. But it is an amazing book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1CEHSG8HI89AT?ASIN=014242417X	Om nom nom...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I love Agustus Waters. I can't say he'd have been my type when I was 17 because I was a naive girl who only liked jerks. But that's what makes Hazel so special, Gus too. After everything they've been forced to endure, they're mature beyond their years. They've seen a world we could only imagine.<br/><br/>This book is a roller coaster of emotion, be prepared for it. But definitely take the time to read it. Read it twice. And then pass it on to a friend.<br/><br/>John Green has done it again with this masterpiece. He may only be trying to entertain the world, but he's changing and touching lives without even realizing it. Write on, Mr. Green, write on.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R172X12RUOD8X2?ASIN=014242417X	Captivating, but concerning.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">However much I may have enjoyed the book, I am overridden with concern of some of its content. My daughter is also reading it, and although I am sure she will take from it the more positive aspects, there are things that could have been left out or altered. I do think there is an obligation that educated adults have to encourage morality in the people for whom they influence. Hazel<br/>is quite an amazing character, and still would have been had she not had awkward sex with Augustus (among other things). It is her age that forces me to feel this way.  The language is beautiful; the imagery delightful. Alas, maybe I am not Mr. Greene's targeted audience.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3U44GM185E2TW?ASIN=014242417X	emotional story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I really enjoyed this story though I found it was some what predictable. Augusta and hazel both have cancer and go to a support group. They meet at the group and become almost instant friends. Soon they exchange book and find out they also like the same book. They have questions about one of the books and contact the author to ask the questions. He says that he will answer the questions  but only if they come there. They go there only the trip doesn't go as planned. This book is filled with many twists and turns along the way.<br/>I found it was easy to care about the characters which made the story a very emotional journey all the way to the very end.</span>"

I put off reading it for the petty reason that it was becoming increasingly popular and for some reason that was unappealing to me. But it was the first book I bought when my dad surprised me with an iPad at Christmas and I finished it tonight with a snowstorm roaring outside. It shocked and surprised me from beginning to end and I have been crying for the past hour, wiping tears off my screen to keep going. I don't feel the same as before now that I finished this piece of literature (and it is literature; not just a book) and I hope that's a good thing.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2UVX9UJE03388?ASIN=014242417X	Good book but no driving plot	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was philosophical and interesting and different BUT was missing a real plot. There was nothing that made the book something that drew me in. Almost every big conclusion was easily predicted. It was a beautiful story and I appreciated how smart the characters were. (As for whether their language was realistic for teens, I think it is plausible since not every teenager is a vapid hormone driven relationship hopper the way most other major media depicts.) I DID like that the teens weren't typical. I loved that they were smart and while it didn't keep me on the edge of my seat, this book did give me a very sweet and thoughtful slice of life story.</span>"

She can't go anywhere without her oxygen supply but she has managed to take some classes at college and she attends a support group.  At support group she meets Augustus(Gus) and her life is changed.  The pair start to fall in love.  I won't say more before I give the plot away but the book felt real and moving.  As far as whether or not the characters talk and act like real teenagers I don't think there would be typical if you were dealing with a serious illness.  Definitely not the best book if you are looking for a diversion or pick me up, but you should give it a chance anyway.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2K0JX2BUIRN38?ASIN=014242417X	so I figured people LOVE it, it must be pretty good	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I know this is written for teens, and I am an adult.  I purchased this book because I heard it was a bestseller and was made into a movie, so I figured people LOVE it, it must be pretty good.  Honestly, it didn't really live up to my expectations.  Not a bad book, it held my interest so I wanted to finish, but it wasn't ""can't put it down"" engaging.  And I didn't love how it was set in a particular city but made up hospitals for the kids to go to.  (my issue for having a child with a major health issue so I know the real children's hospitals in that city - but it made me think the author didn't care to do basic research.)  As a book, it's okay.</span>"

I have had the honor of caring for some incredible people.  I have watched the world's of my patients loved ones crumble around them.  But, I have also seen true love.  Cancer sucks.<br/><br/>Thank you for this book.  As cheesy as it may sound, your book gave me a tangible perspective of a cancer victim.  I could feel the burning in Hazel's lungs when they filled with fluid and would find myself holding my breath until she caught hers. Weird.  Anyhow, great read! I hope the movie does this justice.

3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R23CWRNRW08QE?ASIN=014242417X	Such a unique and moving love story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Hazel is dying, not as fast as she was before her medical miracle gave her more time. Her tumours are smaller than when she was 13 but they are still there and she feels she is a 16 year old grenade. At support group, she relates with Isaac and eventually, his friend Augustus. Gus has won his battle with cancer but it cost him his leg and high school basketball. The story continues to develop the intertwining relationships they have with each other, their families, and their cancers. The story is full of insight into the way you would not necessarily think a teen would deal with disease and impending death of themselves and their friends. It is amazing</span>"

The story is based in Indianapolis, my home city.  The character's are well developed and you feel the angst of their coming to terms with terminal illness.  The book and the movie are well done.  I had the opportunity to meet John and he is the most unpretentious, likeable, open, passionate, normal person I have ever met.  The Nerd Fighters are going to change the world a small piece at a time.  He answered my questions and truly captured the experience of youth coping with a terminal illness.

Maybe i should write it, after all i do have a book out on Amazon, so i will get started right away, after i am finished with my trilogy i am writing. Oh and the book i wrote is called The Missing Princess of Litherville. I was 12 when i wrote it so its kinda wierd but , hey, who cares right?

I unexpectedly loved the contemporary romantic feel for literature and poetry. This book makes you ponder life, and it will impact how you view life's toughest mysteries. I also have a new respect, or a positive altered view for those with terminal illnesses. The book had me in tears by the end. I got so caught up in the characters, unknowingly. Yes, it is a definite tearjerker but yet beautiful one. I could not put this book down and I finished it in under 24 hours. Highly recommended.

4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1VTOR7NDMIFFU?ASIN=014242417X	Good, not quite great.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The story was well written,  but as another reader said the vocabulary of the characters is unrealistic to typical teens...even teens who are battling cancer. In fact, I don't know many adults who accurately use some of the words found in this novel. This bothered me because while it showed off the author's expansive articulation, it failed to be true to what real young adults would say and how they would really communicate. I am all about realistic fiction! Nevertheless, the plot was beautifully orchestrated despite the known variable: spoiler alert: the kid with cancer dies. Green is able to manipulate that  constant into a pretty interesting story.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3GKHQEUSSARQH?ASIN=014242417X	Such a good book...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I held back tears while reading this book, which if you knew me you would know crying is something I rarely do. This book was beautifully written. Normally books don't have the crying effect on me. In fact this one was the first. I like romance books. Nicholas Sparks was one of my favorite authors. However after reading this, I believe the author has won my heart. I love the true love aspect of this, the cynical and metaphorical aspect of them dealing with their illness, the book in general is one of the greatest reads ill ever read. I strongly recommend this book, and even if you're not a dryer be prepared to cry a little.Even if it's on the inside.</span>"

This novel of angst &amp; acceptance, love &amp; loss is everyone's at any age story.  Walking through the world of child terminal pathology while coming of age through ""The Fault In Our Stars"" was beautiful without being overly pitiful. I was allowed to feel compassion for all the characters without drowning them in a martyrdom of only their disease. John Green drew them beautifully with wit, intelligence, innocence &amp; the continual tides of emotion that we all experience, disease or no, because we are all terminal. Wonderfully, tragically real.</span>"

His characters are real, believable. The twists are well timed. Years of working with sick children and their families help me to know the reality of this story. The beauty of his words are a real gift to anyone who has travelled, or is traveling this path. The reality is there is pain and beauty in heartache, no one is perfect, least of all the dying or dead, yet we all will end the same. The humor and honesty of these characters made for the inspiration and ability to accept the pain in the story. Thank you for this glimpse into the journey.</span>"

I feel the story was told in a rather haphazard but love able way. It was indeed an addictive read which once I was more than twenty pages in the drug of the characters had its hook in me. The Author character I feel was written with the most irregularity... One minute he's high and mighty... The next not so much... Is it foreshadowing or is it just lazy writing? Now my biggest problem is the idea that somehow Cancer is this big and romanticized thing.... Like everyone can relate to now... If that's so it's sad. Cancer is the new Vampire? Dang.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1YOWBSM30X70G?ASIN=014242417X	An Excellent Read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is very well-written and full of life lessons. It really makes you think about what is truly important in life. Most of us can't imagine the physical and emotional struggles that Hazel and Gus faced on a daily basis. But given their brief “infinity”, they made the most of their moments together, unlike Peter, who psychologically stopped living after the death of his daughter. This book teaches us that no matter what cards we've been dealt in life, we always have choice. We choose what we say, how we relate to others and even who we love. In the end, it's our choices that bring meaning and purpose to our life. Our choices become our legacy.</span>"

""Valar Morghulis,"" as they put it on ""Game of Thrones"" -- but somehow when it comes early, when it comes for children or teenagers, it seems more sorrowful, more touching.<br/><br/>Hazel and Augustus, as well as their friend Isaac, are teenaged cancer patients. What they are dealing with is something that should never have to happen to a young person. Yet it does, and millions of kids like them all around the world deal with the issues that come with their illnesses. Even so, watching them walk down the long, dark hallway, not knowing who will step through the door at the end of it first, is heart-wrenching.</span>"

It was very well written with some excellent dialogue between the characters. I really like seeing people who come from humble beginnings get successful, and John Green is a nice guy with great talent as a writer. The only problems I had with the book, was that outside the main characters having cancer there was not a whole lot new done with the story. There were a few cliches, and I was able to see the ending about a third way into the book. The cliches definitely had a good payoff, but I would have liked to see something a little new to warrant the overhyping of this book. Otherwise, great read and I highly recommend it.</span>"

This book, given to me as a gift, is not the kind of book I usually read.  Teens with cancer is an extremely depressing subject to me, no matter how successful the effort to make it otherwise.  This is not to say this is not a good book if you can read this sort of thing without wanting to take to bed with the covers pulled over your head.  I tend to want to do just that with these types of books.  Subject matter aside, I did tend to skim over the ""philosophical"" parts, which really were integral to the ""fault in our star"" theme, but I was too sad to delve deeper.  A very good read for those who can.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3ANXRO78CLGES?ASIN=014242417X	Green has got himself a new Nerdfighter	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I was most excited to read this book after seeing so many positive reviews and after not being able to put it down for a day and a half I must say I'm so happy I read this book.<br/>This was honestly. Hands down. The best book I've read in a long time. It had substance as compared to the other YA books I've read recently, it actually gave me hope that there are still good books in this universe.<br/>Green has captured the art form of entraping his readers emotions to the words and characters of his books and its amazing.<br/>I absolutely loved loved this book and I could tell I will be reading it again. (Hopefully minus the waterworks next time)</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3Q0UGPL6E3G5J?ASIN=014242417X	I'm still thinking about them...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read this book pretty much in one sitting. I don't want to give up any spoilers, but I will say that it didn't go at all as I expected it would. Hazel is a 16 year old girl who was diagnosed with terminal cancer at 13. Total depression fest, right? Well, no, not exactly. Through parent enforced support group meetings Hazel meets Augustus who came as a guest of her friend Isaac. Hazel's voice is fresh and so honest and I completely fell in love with Augustus. This book gave me a completely different view of terminal illness and that's saying something as I used to be a hospice nurse. You definitely don't want to miss this book. It stays with you.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3HYOHGSZSSCSM?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I watched the movie before I read the book but I can't choose<br/>Which one I love better. I cried do much during the movie but didn't cry at all during the book. I g guess it was because I knew it was coming before I read it. Or to actually feel the emotions because u feel like you're closer to it in the movie. I don't know but I do know that John green is a powerful and touching writer (way better than Peter van houten) and I will continue to read his books and hopefully find another book with this much intelligence, funny, sad, happy, touching, powerful, and loving qualities in it. Thank you John green. For exposing me to something so amazing</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RBL14NISRE4HC?ASIN=014242417X	OMAGERD ITS GREAT	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">A lot of my friends read the book, so I knew vaguely what was going to happen before I actually read it, I just assumed I knew what happened so I put off reading it until the movie preview came out, and I made myself finish the book before I saw the movie because that wouldn't be fair to me I wouldn't be able to fully take in what happened because I wouldn't know the whole story or the background behind it, so, I read the first 12 chapters and I stopped reading it. A few weeks later I finished the book, and I must say it was a great discussion to do so. I do admire john green for writing such a wonderful book and I hope the movie is just as good.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3VQSPVMJBM4M3?ASIN=014242417X	Couldn't read it without crying	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Throughout the journey of the book there are hilarious parts and very serious (fatal) parts.  I loved the dynamic of the characters and the real life affliction the characters go through. The realization of dying and fighting the struggle is just to common in my life and really caused a few tears while I read through the wonderful journey and adventure the characters endured.. I mean how fun would it be to have a wish to go anywhere in the world if we knew we only had a few months to live!!!  Also we realize that Cancer or any fatal illness does not define us, but makes us aware of the person we have become and aware the people we have impact on.</span>"

I loved every part every word everything about this book. I cried and I never cry while reading books unless it's Harry Potter but not the point. I loved Hazel. She is the type of person I hope I could live up to. I feel for her pain and even though the ending was foreshadowed I still hoped it would end differently. Don't get me wrong there is absolutely nothing that I would change about this book. It was perfect in every way. Augustus was the best person for Hazel. He brought her joy and love. The fault in our stars is one of the best books I have read in quite some time. It was perfect.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2SFFVX3AQZ77I?ASIN=014242417X	Unique Book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I did this five star rating because it's pure perfection. Never in my life have I read a book like this. It's different. Not a book you'd stumble across. It's not your average book. That's what gives this book that special spark. I liked how John Green made the characters unique. You know that in every story the characters are all insecure or something. But in this book, Hazel and Augustus aren't like that. They think outside the box. The way you're  suppose to think. I disliked how the author made Augustus die. It was very disappointing. And upsetting. But overall, the book was absolutely amazing!!!! Thank you John Green!<br/><br/>  -Janely P.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1KIVSVLDHTUI?ASIN=014242417X	good or not?	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I personally am in love with this book. I keep reading it over and over again just like how Hazel kept reading her favorite book again and again. I think almost any one could love this book as much as me, it has romance with a good but bad ending. I don't think you should read this if you don't like romance, and if you only like fairy tale endings. Please do not judge me on my personal opinion. But I really do love this book and hope that I can find another book just as good as this one, but it will be hard to find one as good as this book.<br/><br/>  Sincerely,<br/>  Book lover ( Mackenzie W)<br/><br/>Written in:Michigan (Gladwin Michigan)</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RGF4PW6P997FO?ASIN=014242417X	Can't stop thinking about this book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read this book in two days. Delightfully, beautifully written with clever dialogue and true empathy for the young characters as they lived through the tough challenges of illness and impending death.  It wasn't simplistic or morose but real and thoughtful. I felt as if while  I was reading this book I was taken into the mind of the main character from whose point of view the story was written and after I finished I thought about what was said about life and consciousness and how the living try to understand death. The dialogue stood out as smart and witty as Hazel was bright but not idealized. Very definitely worth your time to read this book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3GHMMXOL9HQC4?ASIN=014242417X	Such a great book!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I can't even remember the last time a book pulled me in as much as this one did! Not only that, but it did so quickly! It usually takes me at least a month to finish a book, as I read in bed and usually fall asleep before getting far. Not this one! One week and it was done. I actually wish that it was longer, because I already miss the characters. It touched me in a way that I didn't know I could feel from reading a book. The characters are so real, that you really get attached. You wait to know what happens, you laugh with them and cry with them all the way through. Do I recommend this book? Heck yes I do! It should be top of the list for you!!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2Z411U3ACXGK3?ASIN=014242417X	Perfection	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read it in a day; once I started reading it I couldn't put it down! It was so true to reality in a way that made it so easy to understand and connect with the characters yet still be beautifully written. By the end of the book the pain you feel for Hazel Grace is at a 9(because you have to save your 10). Gus was an extraordinary character as well and I fell in love with both characters! Everything was put very much into perspective by the end of the book and it seriously gives you a greater respect for the blessings you have! I recommend it but make sure your free for the next day because once you start reading you're not going to put it down!</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2A4ZT8M1V083A?ASIN=014242417X	Another One of My Top Ten EVER	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I ran across this book while skimming a People Magazine, waiting for the doctor to come in and see me ... It wasn't a review, just an ad, but it had been proclaimed ""one of the five books every woman needs to read."" I wrote it down so I wouldn't forget and when I got home, I looked it up on Amazon. A novel about teenagers ... Why should every woman read a novel about teenagers? Trust me - read it. You'll completely forget that it's categorized as ""young adult fiction."" You'll fall in love with the characters, you'll fall in love with the story ... And as someone who doesn't cry, let me tell you - I cried. What a phenomenal novel!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R30BXZ71GFGL2R?ASIN=014242417X	A rare jewel	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Incredible novel. I read it in one sitting...unable to let go. I laughed and I cried. Both light hearted and deep, this story rocked me to my core. I will be thinking about the messages, ideas, concepts etc for some time to come ... I am most certain. I seldom I give 5 stars and rarely recommend books to my family and friends. This book deserves both. I anticipate and look forward to discussing this story with others. I rented this online so I will have to purchase a copy (on paper!). Well written, simple yet complex, character perfection, balance, pace...all perfect. Even an editing error didn't bother me! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2D8K3GMXRKBJR?ASIN=014242417X	Candid approach sans emotional manipulation.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I enjoyed the book and the candid approach to a sensitive subject.  Since I read it at 4 am when I couldn't sleep, I didn't take notes for a review, but generally it was fast-moving, easy to read with a smattering of smart word-pairings and metaphor.  I loved the depth of the character's intellectually, but missed some of their more day-to-day personalities to flesh out the minds.  Still, it was right up my alley so far as being more psychological and less action and drama.  I particularly liked the steering away from emotional manipulation and the humor that danced in and out like an imp.  I'd recommend it.  I doubt I'll see the movie however.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R27879B4O4ISJ7?ASIN=014242417X	Don't read this book unless you want a truly tear-jerking experience!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars sends you through a white knuckle journey of ""chemo-life"" with young people who live life (as they are able to live it) in full glory and exquisite awareness. At the same time ""too-old, too-young, too-jaded, too-tired, too-far-gone"" members of the ""At The Literal Heart Of Jesus Church Support Group"" give each other love, strength, support, dark humor, and ""someplace to register that you really existed."" Get out your tissues. You will need them, and you will never again look the same at someone pulling an oxygen tank behind them. This story makes you value life and value human relationships.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1XXVC15U4N0H8?ASIN=014242417X	Great read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">At first, I was hesitant on continuing to read after the first few chapters. I am quite happy I continued despite my hesitation. My brother passed away from cancer, and gratefully my mother is a survivor.  So as I read, being reminded of the cruel reality of cancer saddened me, but as I continued the story I felt connected and invested in the characters. The story is humorous, sad, heartwarming and heartfelt all rolled into one. It was interesting and helpful to read from a perspective of someone going through cancer. I felt almost reminded of my brother and similar feelings he had shared with me, much like Hazel did in this book. Great ending.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R24EUZZ5TJ682S?ASIN=014242417X	One of my favorite books of all times	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read this book after hearing everybody around me talking about it, and I was not deceived. Those who have read the book will understand: The Fault in our Stars is to me what An Imperial Affliction is to Hazel. I read this book in one day, two weeks ago, and have been thinking about it everyday since then. It's the type of book that pops up in your mind no matter what you do, it engrosses your life completely. I find myself rereading passages in my free time, and sometimes even quoting the characters unconsciously.This is a terrific book not only for teenagers, but for adults, and I recommend it to anyone who wants to fall in love with a book.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3MRKQVZQ9SH5B?ASIN=014242417X	Wonderful Read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is by far, one of the best books I have read this year.  I wasn't sure if it was just me, as Cancer is a part of my life (not me personally, but family members), but this book really touched me.  I found the characters endearing, believable, and heartwarming.  The story line made me think about how I might react if (When?) I get Cancer, and how we treat those who are touched by Cancer.  I laughed, I cried and all in all I did not want this book to end.  I read book after book after book, and upon finishing this book, I didn't even want to start another book, I just wanted to treasure the memories of this well written book.  Brilliant.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R26UVUYD35LX3M?ASIN=014242417X	Teens Fighting Cancer	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is a very moving account of the difficulties, physical, emotional, and spiritual, that children and teens face while fighting cancer. The main character, Hazel, is fighting lung cancer. In the context of the emotional roller coaster of cancer survival, she forms a relationship with Augustus (leg amputee); corresponds with the Dutch author of her favorite book; and supports a blind friend in his fight with eye cancer.  The story deals with the struggles head on with a delicate balance of humor and pathos without becoming sappy or insipid.  This is the genious of the writing style of John Green. I definitely want to read more books by Green.</span>"

I can't handle dying children!<br/><br/>I see why people love or hate this book. I'm mostly in between, but end in the love-category because we really have to talk more about death! This book talks about death throughout and it's devastating and life-affirming at the same time. Is it realistic for two (three) teens in Indianapolis to be this well read and intellectual? Probably not. But if it can inspire other youngsters to read more and think more, that'll be quite the achievement.<br/><br/>Wondering whether I should watch the film - have not heard anybody mention it?</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2UE16GMHGGBPN?ASIN=014242417X	Tears	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Wow...this book had words in it I didn't know but as I re-read them after knowing the definitions it became easier...now he makes me mad because he left it off like the book in this story. I know it is a fictional character but what happens to Hazel? What happens to her parents? I'm going to assume she dies...but what would be great is to know they (Hazel and Gus) found each other in the end.<br/>I cried when I read this book and am so sad that there really is this much pain and suffering with cancer. This book really does bring to mind the struggles of those who battle with their cancer...whatever type it may be. Thank you for this in sight.</span>"

I reread it because those lovely folks at O.B.O.B. central finally chose a decent book. it been a long time coming, let me tell you. anyway, this second read through was less enjoyable, perhaps because being required to do something instantly saps the fun from the activity. still, green never fails to make me laugh, and as a fan of his crash course videos, it is enlightening to see his views on something deeper than who won the War of 1812 (spoiler alert: no one). In short, a good book although the concepts need a little googleing. think of this as a brain exercise.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3M6OT4Q8ASXP3?ASIN=014242417X	By Far the Best Book I've Read in a Long Time	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">As a tweenage bookworm, I don't give the title of "" My Favorite Book "" easily, but this book somehow won it in a landslide. John Green's way of portraying a teenage girl's ongoing battle with ""human consciousness"" and love is absolutely phenomenal. His enchanting work reeled me in from the first paragraph , and I devoured in less than a day. I write this review the second time I've read this book, and I am sorry to admit that this is the only John Green book I have read, and as a young girl aspiring to one day be a bestselling author, I can only hope that I will be able to at least come close to Green's talent and awesomeness.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RIHT9OE4KGSZB?ASIN=014242417X	more meaningful living through hardship	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">John Green was able to put to words what many people feel their relationships and their own self import mean in this world but cannot express. Things that seem big are often not.  Things that are small often have the most meaning and import, like just sitting in silence beside a friend in grief.  Written through the eyes of what would be in innocent 16 year old, but worlds wiser due to impending mortality, this book will change how many people choose to live and express their lives.  A true blessing.  Now That I've finished reading, I am ""allowed"" to take my 14 year old to its movie who wouldn't let me see it until book was completed.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RDQJYNM2T5MEY?ASIN=014242417X	No faults in these stars.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I mainly bought this book to support the author. He kindly helped my friend out with her research project on the Dutch translation of this novel, even though they've never met and he must have been more than busy enough being a famous author. And then I saw he made vlogs to support bullied kids. So for the sake of getting awesome people to rule the world, the least I could do was support his business. Little did I know it would get me such a beautiful, brilliant, touching and thought-provoking book! I'm so glad Mr Green was able to fathom his starry thoughts into constellations. And that I know now exactly why I've always disliked basketball.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1FPJOSHHKHFBB?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in our Stars by John Green brief review	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This wonderfully written piece of literature put me through so many intense emotions.  I laughed, cried, and truly stopped to contemplate life and it's meaning. It made  me angry at the cruelty of nature, as would be many while thinking of children suffering from terminal illness.  My heart was warmed with promises of young love and truly crushed with unavoidable tragedy.  This book is a must read for anyone and everyone. For the young and old alike, for anyone who has ever fallen in love, for anyone who has ever suffered and lost, as well as anyone who can appreciate life.  I look forward to reading other books by John Green. Go Read it Now!</span>"

And being the type of person I am, divorce I didn't exit. It said the biggest spoiler of the book... so I had to read it.

It was thanks to a tweet of Birbigs's that I downloaded this and I'm so glad I did. No clue how the film'll turn out but the novel is amazing. Cliché as it sounds, it made me laugh. It made me cry. It was a super quick read and I'm so glad Birbigs was cast in this so I had a chance to read it sooner rather than later.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R27TDP12EXQL13?ASIN=014242417X	This is one of the best, if not the best, book I've read in a long time.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">John Green's ""The Fault in Our Stars"" is one of those books whose recommendation comes with a rather large, red, pulsating asterisk. Here is a list of conditions that are the only reasons that you shouldn't read this book.<br/>1. You don't like books about cancer.<br/>2. You don't like love stories.<br/>3. You don't like being sad.<br/>4. You don't like reading.<br/>Well I can't exactly put up a title like that, give it five stars, and then tell you not to read this. So yes, if none of the above restrictions apply to you, then I highly suggest you take as much space as possible out of the way between your eyeballs and this book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3JKBWRIN2RPDT?ASIN=014242417X	Smart read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I'd been putting off reading this book because of its content about two teenagers in cancer treatment, but I am SO glad I finally ignored the ""sad"" and ""depressing"" reviews some people give it.  Not only did I find this book to be extremely engaging, but the two main characters are SMART and have great spirits, which made for wonderful reading.  They are not superficial teenagers who feel sorry for themselves but find the positive and funny in just about everything they do.  Yes, it is sad in places, but its an appropriate sadness and not just melodrama for the sake of plot.  This is one of the best books I've read all year!</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Was my copy missing several chapters that made this book ""great"" and worth the hype? It was so mediocre I really don't know where to begin. I didn't completely hate the book, but there was nothing surprising or different about it, which just made me frustrated. Within the 1st chapter I had guessed just about everything that would happen. Everyone was making such a big deal about it that there must be more to it than a cheesy lifetime movie. Nope.. there wasn't. I just do not see how this book differs from the millions of movies and books already like it. Most of which were written much better than this. Kind of disappointing if you ask me.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R14O7V6PQ44H0V?ASIN=014242417X	Eggs confined to breakfast? And also a beautiful love story.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I found the story of Augustus Waters &amp; Hazel Grace Lancaster a wonderful and beautiful love story. It is not a cancer book, as author John Green put it. Rather, it is a love between two kids who just happen to have cancer. While most of the ending made me bawl my eyes out, I recommend it because of the simple life lessons it provides and because…why not? I feel like it is a story that is timeless, ageless, and it could happen almost anywhere. Like I said, it is not a book about cancer.<br/>Lastly I questioned why eggs are only considered breakfast food. Because they could really be eaten any time of the day. Just something to think about…</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R4DKR0ACZPVK8?ASIN=014242417X	A beautifully tragic love story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I LOVE THIS BOOK!!!!!!!! I know there is a movie being made for this book and the tag line for the poster that was released says ""One sick love story"" what a love story it is! I just love reading this from Hazel's point of view she had such a spirit about her that you wish you were her friend. When Gus comes into the picture the cheesily beautiful chemistry that is Hazel and Gus is an overcoming feeling of love that takes you back to the biggest moments of love in your own life. This book will not disappoint a great read that will fill you  heart with a burning passion that gives you that head over heels butterflies in the stomach feeling.</span>"

2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R25TOUKZL3SENB?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing Book Had A Tough Time Putting It Down	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I am a 13 year old girl who loves reading and a lot of my friends said Hey read The Fault In Our Stars it's an amazing book. Since the second I started chapter 1 I LOVED it. I liked Gus's personality and Hazel's too. They booth seemed like wonderful people who fight so hard with their cancer. I hope John Green makes a sequel to this because the ending is so suspenseful. Maybe it could be about Hazel and her future. I do wonder if he is even working on a sequel. I read this for summer reading and those who are into romance and cancer surviving stories The Fault In Our Stars is an amazing book! I love you John Green and this book a lot. :)</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1L27FEXNTYWB9?ASIN=014242417X	My favorite book ever...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I don't think there is any way to put into words how wonderful this book is. It is not some corny sappy love story between two perfect shallow people. It shows the real side of life and death, love and pain. It is so beautiful and will give the reader a truly new outlook on life. I read this while going through a horrible breakup. One might think that a love story would be the worst thing to read when in that place, but this book shows that you need to enjoy things while they last and that life still goes on once they are over. It's about not being afraid to let people in, despite the possibility of getting hurt, or hurting someone else.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R18EO9M3Q0QL1N?ASIN=014242417X	Cold fatalism wrapped in adolescent superiority	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The book had me chuckling in the first pages, then became progressively more annoying.  Religious and support group cliches were proffered for denigration, while nihilistic ones were offered up in their place, by adolescents who thought and talked like narcissistic pseudo-intellectuals with large vocabularies -- while those who love and care for them are portrayed as trite, weak and naive.  No doubt this book will appeal to teens who aspire to jaded sophistication, but to those looking for some way to survive and accept the fearful mysteries of life, this book delivers mainly a fatalistic viewpoint. The subject deserved better treatment.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RV7H6N7TMJD0D?ASIN=014242417X	Just okay	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I went into this book fairly blind. I'm a fan of John Green's YouTube work and decided to give this a go. While it was a quick, entertaining read, it didn't elicit the emotions I would expect. Having my mom, aunt and uncle succumb to cancer in it's various forms I expected the book to bring those to the surface (and I have to admit to bawling my eyes out during the credits of 50/50). I just couldn't attach myself to the characters that deeply.<br/><br/>It's a fun story. Teenagers being awkward and pile on the results of their conditions and it is, at times touching to see the romance blossom. I can say it's nice, but not my cup of tea.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2XZ76G4Q957ES?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing (spoilers)	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I am speechless after reading this book it is one the best freaking books I've ever read and I've read a whole lot of freaking books and I have never seen or read such an amazing love story as of this one. But like hazel s favorite  book it just ends there wondering what happened to everyone but you just know they lived happily until a day came and hazel could not live anymore. It would be sad as Gus s was.. but you know people would still Think of you when you die. Wishing you could live longer but sometimes it just happens (like Gus) and you have to deal with it. I love this book so much, I got a good cry out of it, it was just .......</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RGDJKGGCY4WIN?ASIN=014242417X	Not another cancer book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">In his book, Hazel calls ""An Imperial Affliction"" not another cancer story. I can say that is true for this book as well. Believe me I know cancer books. When I was 13, I read many of the books by Lurene McDaniel and I think she might have invented the cancer story. But this book, she didn't just find out that she has cancer, she has been terminally I'll since she was 13. Her boyfriend doesn't heroically live on, he dies before she does. The characters get angry and sad, but they have many great times too. I read this and I honestly think that I am inside her head and she becomes a real person for me, not just thoughts on a page.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2YJM92JKO0T41?ASIN=014242417X	A downer	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Whilst I appreciate a good cry in a book or movie, I read for entertainment, pleasure and to learn more about this wonderfully crazy world. I would prefer to read a biography or a well crafted fiction piece with twisting plot and complicated characters. I would liken reading this book to visiting a desperately poor third world country, feeling shock and sympathy for the people and then flying home and getting on with my life. Does this book help anyone? Is it uplifting? Does it bring hope and love to its readers?<br/>It's a best seller, but it wasn't for me.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3U7UT4N6E18TA?ASIN=014242417X	oblivion is inevitable	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The literary talents of John Green fascinate me, yet also bring anger and sadness for two made up human beings with very real problems. I have endlessly suggested this creation expressing the harsh reality of death to countless people, who claim to love reading, who say to read anything. Apparently, 3 teenagers dying of cancer worries people. I have no children of my own, but I do slightly understand this complaint. However, proceeding; this fantastic, amazing story has made me laugh, cry, and question if my life could be lived to the fullest to fill in for Augustus Waters' death. I shall always remember this book, and praise it always.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RLSW75SWCX88B?ASIN=014242417X	laughing, crying, repeat.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">As a long time nerdfighter I have read all of John Green's book with great enthusiasm, and I have never been disappointed (I have loved the, all). And even though this is not my favorite among his books, it is as close a second as one can be.<br/>This is not a cancer book in my opinion, it is a story about youth, young love, and most importantly the joys and troubles that follow.<br/>This books takes you on a rollercoaster ride of emotions, you feel with the characters and it is for me, it is a ride I will relive over and over again. because every time I re-read this book I notice new detail. And fall in love with the story even more.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R33IBHK72YW5PG?ASIN=014242417X	A big fan	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Anyone who is looking for a love story could certainly read this. But anyone looking fir a book where the characters truly love each other and you want to fall in love with the way that they fall in love, needs to read it. This book may have cancer in it, but that's a part of their lives. If Hazel or Augustus didn't need to have cancer to make this book complete they wouldn't. This book is absolutely filled with flaws, not in the writing itself or grammar, but with the mix of people that they actually end up inevitably in their own oblivion. It's beautiful, but not in the sense life is perfect, but realizing we need to accept our flaws.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1CL7MG908QNS8?ASIN=014242417X	A heart wrenching read that will influence your life in the best of ways	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">After reading this book I felt no need to read yet another book. I feel no book, no matter how good, can live up to this marvelous, thoughtful read. Having read this book 4 times in a short time period of 2 months, you start to notice how the words on every page coresponde to the thoughts on the previous pages. Each page tells a story about life it's self, and will greatly influence your life. Being that ""words don't resurrect, they bury."" -John Green, I will sum it up and say ""The Fault In Our Stars"" is an well written, inspiring, and heart wrenching, read that encapsulates the meaning of life in just a short 321 pages.</span>"

I could write a simply summery and you'd make a decision on whether to read it or not, but that's the thing- it wouldn't be a simple summery. It would show my own emotions dug into such a beautifully written piece of literature, and I'd hate to be terribly selfish. Read this book. I don't mean it in the most commanding way possible either. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, so perhaps another person might not enjoy this book, but just simply don't judge a book by its cover. Nor, would I ironically state, it's ratings. Give it a chance.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2Q0ION7N0VKVE?ASIN=014242417X	The best book I have read.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I don't really read books. When ever I try to read a book I end up hating it or its just to boron to keep going. I also have the problem that I can't read well.<br/>Still when I find a book that I like that's the only book that I will read. It's like after you get done warring your favorite food you just want more even if you know what it is like. I have read this book many times and each time I find a new thing to love.<br/>This time I bout it from Amazon with the reader. The voice just before it to life. I cried at many points in the book.<br/>If you don't mind slightly depressing books and love stories this would be the best book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1UT003RP02W46?ASIN=014242417X	Not all star-crossed love is full of intense making out and nothing but ...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read it in one day. I know there will be people that say the characters are too mature, but that is short-sighted reasoning. The girl in the book speaks as I do and also shows very many other similarities. Not all star-crossed love is full of intense making out and nothing but sex. This is a story between two teenage people who had already met their mortality and understand that every new day was just a day, and that they don't control what happens. Read it or not, like it or not. As I'm still working on surviving the universe's desire to be heard, I give it five stars for the breath of emotional accuracy with myself and only myself.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R37WCZD7JJVXIS?ASIN=014242417X	Everything I wanted and nothing I expected	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I finished this book in hours. Hours late at night that were supposed to be spent sleeping. This is the first book of John Green's that I have read and I am enchanted by his writing. This is the kind of book that is more than just a book. It will leave a mark on your soul. This is the kind of book that is so spectacular that you want to keep it to yourself. But that would be incredibly selfish and difficult considering the joy and tears it causes. My advice, read this book. Feel the joy, feel the happiness, feel the pain and tears. I promise you, you won't regret a thing except the sleep you will lose staying up until 3am to finish it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1PO1AQUWD43WU?ASIN=014242417X	Not  Just Another Cancer Story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">It was an easy read not complicated with medical jargon and the characters were very likeable particularly Hazel Grace and Augustus. I enjoyed the humour of the characters under a very sad situation - cancer and the ""side-effects of dying"". The story also gave thoughtful insight into the families and friends of those with cancer and, of course, those suffering through it. It could have been a very depressing book because of the nature of the subject matter, but, it felt real and gave hope to the hopeless, not ""cotton candy sweetness "" but sincere real hope even though the worst ""side-effect of cancer is dying"".</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2JYE3X42W001X?ASIN=014242417X	Story of Hope, A Story of Cancer	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Tragedy, yet hope is the core of this teen love story about Hazel and Augustus who meet at a support group for teens with cancer.  Augustus has lost a leg and has an 85% chance of non-reoccurring cancer.  Hazel was first diagnosed at Stage IV so she knows she is likely to die quite young. Their friend Isaac has a specific cancer which affects his eyes.<br/><br/>This is a tender story about really bright kids who have truly drawn the short end of the stick on health.  It gives a good idea of their everyday lives, the Make A Wish Foundation trips, and the complications of being ill and the hope they hold out for a short but rich life.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2ELRUGRDKNU5H?ASIN=014242417X	Poignant, witty, realistic	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Everyone who read this book said it was so sad, so I guess I braced myself for that to consume me. However, although I did find it sad, I also found it poignant, witty, and realistic. I smiled through Hazel and Augustas' witty literary exchanges. They spoke their own language to each other, and that's what made their teenage, end of life-love real and convincing. I would recommend this book to all those who remember their first loves, those who believe they will never find love, and teens - it is important that they realize that life is greater than them.  I gave the book four out of five stars because the beginning was a little slow.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3SZX0CTUW874P?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I thought seriously about not reading this book. I saw the relentless promotion in tv and magazine articles, and I thought to myself do I really want to be saddened by this cancer book? The answer is yes and no. It's profoundly more than a cancer book. It displays many lessons, it opens your eyes to life around you, to people around you, and the stories they carry within themselves. I utterly loved the book. Like a song, I know I'll love a book by a single line. John Green wrote, "" I fell in love the way you fall asleep, slowly and all at once."" That line compelled me to read the book, and will compel me to buy a ticket for the movie.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3UN44IBBRI5LP?ASIN=014242417X	This book is like an onion- but a great read nontheless.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I hate sad books but I loved this one. Maybe it was because I went into it knowing it was going to be sad? I mean how can it not be sad when the main character is a girl with terminal cancer, right? One of my favorite parts of this story is the connection both Hazel and Augustus have to a book- how this single book changes their lives for the better! My next favorite part is how the author of their book so greatly disappoints them because he is a valuable human being.<br/><br/>This book has many layers...like an onion- be prepared because some will make you cry. I could not put this book down and read it over the course of two days.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2V1G3N70LXKG9?ASIN=014242417X	LOVE IT!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read this book because my 14 year old daughter asked me to. She read it and fell in love with it. She was familiar with John Green even though I wasn't.<br/>I loved the book/story line. My only issue is I wish the book was ""Loanable"" as I recommended it to several people. They had experience with John Green as a writer, so were hesitant to purchase an 'unknown'. If I could have loaned the book, they would have realized what a great author he is and would have then purchased additional books by him.<br/>I highly recommend this book to anyone who has or knows a child/children going through or dealing with a terminal illness.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2UMPVH25HYTG9?ASIN=014242417X	It was funny at times	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">It was funny at times, sad at times and in the realm of cancer kids books it beats ""A Walk To Remember"". The only fault I have with it is that at times the kids acted too much like adults, which clashed at times with their other behavior. Granted teenagers with cancer may be more mature than a typical healthy teenager but there is a difference between mature teenagers and adults. Also having one of the parents say ""it was true love, not puppy love"" seemed heavy handed. It was like the author lacked confidence in his portrayal of their romance. However over all I really enjoyed the at times irreverent tone of the book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RH0PIZYAL9VPI?ASIN=014242417X	Wow!  Great read!! Be ready to drop everything for a few hours.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I found it nearly impossible to put The Fault in our Stars down.  What a mesmerizing piece of writing!  I found it believable that these mature (probably a side-effect of knowing you are about to die when a teenager)  cancer kids dealt with their situation in such a humorous and forthright way.  It seemed to allow them to deal with the pain and fear without breaking down.  I also admired the way the parents dealt with the issue and found them, too, to be believable characters. And such a remarkably real love story!  I read this book so fast, not wanting to stop for anything,  that I may re-read it to catch anything I may have missed.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3ALREDI0SS567?ASIN=014242417X	WOW.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is amazing in the sense that it makes you think. Every sentence is a riddle, and I the end you learn a lot from reading this book, about life, about cancer, about people, and ultimately it makes you think about where your life is going, and how you play such an amazing role in other people's lives. We must take care that our decisions are not only for us but others as well. And for anyone wondering, there is life after death. It is something I know 100% to be true. To find out more, look for the Mormon missionaries in your area. It's definitely worth it. I have figured that out, and I am only fourteen. This book is amazing.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R294O8MOTYYYV?ASIN=014242417X	An Wonderful Read for All Ages	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I was impressed by the way John Green was able to capture the roller coaster of emotions that cancer patients and their family and friends experience each day.  His characters were portrayed realistically and not heroically.  In other words, he didn't turn them into suffering saints, but rather typical teenagers experiencing life with the added burden of cancer.  My only critique is how quickly the two main characters develop a relationship.  I realize that time is valuable when you are not sure how much you have left on this earth, but I still think Hazel's and Gus's relationship was rushed.  Overall, it is one of my favorite books.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R15K9ZGGDY11OT?ASIN=014242417X	Relating to Fiction is One of Life's Greatest Joys, & One of its Deepest Sorrows	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I absolutely recommend this book. I have watched my best friend die of stage three lung cancer which the doctors promised was gone but suddenly popped back a four after seven months of being ""cancer free."" Cancer isn't a happy thing that is taken in stride, It. Is. Devastating. That's what makes this book SO over the top brilliant. It is real as fiction can be, true to the minds of cancer kids and furthermore me. Also, while I have never had cancer, I know what it feels like to cheat death and what it is like to know your illness means imminent death, John Green you handled these situations brilliantly. I salute you good sir.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R5ZPA9WTPKBIK?ASIN=014242417X	Best thing I've read in a long time	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read all kinds of books and enjoy action as much as a good heartfelt story. My favorite book is/was Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas by James Patterson. The Fault in Our Stars is now my favorite, by far! I knew where the story was heading, however I still couldn't put it down. I cried all the way through. It made me laugh and fall in love with the characters. It is such a sad story to tell, and so real at the same time. When you deal with someone who is sick, it is hard to see things from their view point. Why do they pull away? Why do they isolate themselves? Grenades.<br/>This book is fantastic and a must read!<br/>Okay?<br/>Okay.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2KO1R74FZY80Z?ASIN=014242417X	Remember the Depth	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Did you know that you are dying? I am, too. We all are,I suppose. That is the true equalizing factor of the human race: no matter what we do, or who we are, we cannot escape death. It is the most pervasive disease of society, gnashing it's teeth, swallowing all in its path of destruction.<br/><br/>Or is it? Perhaps death IS life. Just another bolt of fabric in the quilt of that beautiful mistress called time. The beauty of this book, though riddled with death, is that it offers the truth of life. Without directly saying it, the book reminds us of what it truly means to be alive.<br/><br/>So go live. It's not yet your time to die.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1YB4WI5MYMDSR?ASIN=014242417X	Unusually well thought out book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I bought the book because it had some good reviews, but one that was bad.  I thought John Green was a good writer and I wanted to see for myself if the critique about the characters actions and their ages being a mismatch.  Instead of downloading the teaser, I just trusted in Green and bought it.  It is a meaningless issue about the age mismatch--- the formula of the story is about letting go of death and living well with what you have, even though it includes the stings of mortality, yours or your loved ones.  I highly recommend this book and it deserves awards for its novelty of story, writing style, and strong character building.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R25ML42FY4HJ9A?ASIN=014242417X	"""Okay?"" This book is more than okay."	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is everything people say it is and more. I have never loved reading something so much in my life. Based off the title and the predicament the main character is in it is evident that the fault in her stars is her cancer. However, when she meets this guy you expect the story to be about how she has cancer and how she is unable to function. This story is anything but. Instead of making Hazel weak and weakened by her disease she is so much more and stronger than that. I enjoyed the book because it told a story about love in a realistic way and it showed how people can be more than the troubles the world had bestowed upon them.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3OLT5PPOKHY4S?ASIN=014242417X	One Of My All Time Favorites	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">So when I first heard about this book I thought if there was a movie about it(because usually when I finish a book I like to see the movie). Then when I heard there was a movie I was completely sold. So I'm a fourteen year old girl and most of my friends dont read for fun,but I feel it is a passion so I always read. This book really opened my eyes to how cancer patients live there lives and how Hazel and Augustus put the fact aside to go on all these adventures together. I would have to say the things that really got me in this book were when Augustus died and ""Okay?"" ""Okay."". This is now one of my favorite books!;)</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R152CFBPS7A2E7?ASIN=014242417X	My dear Beautiful God.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I have been sitting here dumbfounded after the last page of this book, wondering what to put in my review. Needless to say my life will never again be the same. If you die before reading this book it would be an awful tragedy because this is an absolute and complete mastery of literary arts. Thank you John Green for this amazing adventure and thank you for your brain. when you die heaven will gain another angel. this book is a mixture of extreme tragedy and hopeless romance, I hope you give yourself the amazing gift of reading this. I've never cried reading a book before this. And if you wonder if I love this book? I do John. I do.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1IGNUWSL1OVKU?ASIN=014242417X	MY FAVORITE BOOK	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">When I was about to buy this book I didn't think I should, because I usually don't like ""romance novels"" but as I read it I started to find that this wasn't what I was reading, because ""The Fault In Our Stars"" is a truly timeless tale of real life love. It doesn't always end happy, but their are happy moments. The world is not a wish granting factory, but some things can be beautiful. But then again, your life really can end in the middle of a sentence. A moment. Anything. You should try to capture the beauty, and this book is focused on not only showing a cute romance but also that reality. A great read for anyone!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R167RCRXKZUJBN?ASIN=014242417X	Deserves every accolade	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">It takes real courage to talk to and write about people dealing with life interrupting illness honestly; for most of us, it's easier to be politically correct and stick with insincere platitudes. Green has that courage, as well as a clarity of voice that made this book a straight read through for me. It is a compelling look at two young adults dealing with cancer who have the wisdom to deal with life rather than become statistics. I probably would not have picked up this book except for the fact that a college colleague has spoken so highly and so often of it; many thanks, Chris, for a read that is now on my lifetime favorite list.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RHM3HVSN1909P?ASIN=014242417X	depressing book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I thought this book was terrible.  The story has promise, but the characters are presented in an extremely unloveable fashion.  The come across as crude.  The books clearly shows that death is terrible, but it also suggests that so is living.  Without belief in life after death, a story about death can hardly be uplifting.  If one has no hope for an afterlife, then the living have no hope either.<br/><br/>I don't like books that are full of crude language.  What does that add.  It subtracts from the story by showing the characters lack of self respect.<br/><br/>All in all, this story could have been told much more beautifully.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3QO53IBX24OGS?ASIN=014242417X	Enjoyable without being Sappy	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I'm very picky about giving five stars. In order to receive my highest rating, the book must be entertaining, well-written (mechanics, grammar, POV shifts etc.) and most of all the characters must be 3-D, believable and well-developed.  This is one book that was easy to rate. Although, I think the teenagers were a tad too wise--in a way that doesn't have to do with intelligence, but usually can only be gained by years of adult life experience. But, as a mom of a young adult who is quick-witted and preternaturally smart, I overlooked the author pushing that I'm-so-wise limit in certain places. I enjoyed this book. I'd recommend it.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R312RYHV64NVKB?ASIN=014242417X	Read this book.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Read this book. I'm not kidding, read this book. I read it in a day. I laughed and then I cried and in the end I was left utterly speechless. I have read a lot of books, yet I have never been left speechless. I still am not sure what to say about this book besides to tell you to read it. Not only is it a great story, but it gets you thinking as well. Never in a million years would I think a book about cancer be so spectacular. If your questioning if it's worth the money it is, and since I can't put completely into words what this story has meant to me, it's only fair to try it out for yourself. I promise you won't be disappointed.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RVL4KARUAE8CB?ASIN=014242417X	I'm a Fan of this Book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Writing a review for a book that already has thousands of reviews seems unnecessary (and this is the 1st review I've written on Amazon), but this book spoke to me. It spoke to me in the way that ""An Imperial Affliction"" spoke to Hazel Grace and Augustus Waters, which is to say it spoke profoundly.<br/><br/>I'm sure I wasn't John Green's intended reader.  I haven't read a YA book in 30 years and only did so on a recommendation. It surprised me to engage so intensely with a book again.<br/><br/>So I guess I'm writing this, not because it needs to be said, but because I'm a fan and want to support something really great.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RCIV7HUFU0AIF?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is one of the greatest books I've ever had the privilege of reading. However, quite a few tears were shed, when everyone said they cried, I didn't know I'd be balling my eyes out to the point I had to set the book aside because I could not continue, for I could not see through the tears. With that being said, I cannot say I regret reading it, I might even have to read it again. I have not read a book in such a long time that could evoke so many of my emotions, and that is why I would recommend this book to anyone who asked me if they should read it, but I would advise some tissues to go along with the enjoyment of this book.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2OEXS9D6MX81F?ASIN=014242417X	Balanced, insightful,.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I loved the book and look forward to seeing the movie.  The writer has a quirky and engaging style and brought the young characters to life.  A balance of heart-wrenching grief and gentle humor was refreshing and made it all real. The story touched me deeply partly because of the hours and hours of time I have spent in hospitals with my son who has since passed away.  I was even more impressed when I learned that the author was a guy.  I don't know how he was able to ""become"" such a convincing teenage girl.  The book offers a great deal of insight as he brings you into a circle where young people with cancer live and die.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1CYYNZULB8N9N?ASIN=014242417X	I cried on a beach in Thailand	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">What a beautiful book. Well written and researched. It was easy to read and filled with humor and memorable lines. The characters are authentic and the story feels true to life. Not sugar coated and fluffy. I read most of the book on the beach in Thailand. At aa few moments I wondered if I should have read it privately in my hotel room cause I was I laughed out loud and then suddenly I was crying and whimpering like a baby. And while I was sad, I loved this book, I adored that characters and I wish there was more after the end, just like the characters in the story wished there was more story after the end of their favorite book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R4OCK5UUUJ86P?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in Our Stars - Review	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars was touching and at the same time hilarious. The main characters share a love so deep that their sicknesses are drowned out by the love that they have for each other. The main characters seemed healthier than the depressing parents and friends surrounding them. I loved this book because although they were sick, I still found myself cracking up at the jokes they would make about cancer and death. I was very surprised by the book because it was nothing like every other book or movie I have read about cancer patients. I yearn for the love the main characters share, I wouldn't hesitate to read this book again.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RIG16RQ4XFECS?ASIN=014242417X	Beautiful, heart-wrenching and thought provoking	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is by far one of the best books I have ever read. Like the title of my review The Fault in Our Stars is a beautiful, heart-wrenching and thought provoking love story. But it is also so much more than just a love story. It is a celebration of life. Through the main character, Hazel, his book opens the readers eyes to a side of cancer and dying that isn't often talked about. And through Hazel the reader experiences and feels every triumph, every downfall, every heartbreak and every perfect moment. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is not just looking for a love story but a real story about life, love, and loss.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R7NV021J6DFRC?ASIN=014242417X	Worth it all the way!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I heard of this book, I decided it would be worth a try and I'm so glad I did! This book is amazing! And yes, what you think is going to happen might not always turn out that way. I will say though if you don't like to cry, you shouldn't read this book. This book kept me on my edge of my seat. I would suggest you be at least 12 to read this book though... I love this book and I know everyone else will as well. Thus book goes through true love, heartbreak, and reality, the cold hard reality of things. You HAVE to get this book, I love it. The only problem is I read faster than my friend and I'm dine and I NEED to tell her! :D LOL</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2KUFM48HKTKHC?ASIN=014242417X	Pop Culture Breakdown	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Good: The book is well written. It plays on your emotions, getting you attached to the characters while they experience a rather depressing scenario. This is not a happy story. It is a story you will read with tears streaming down your face. It will transform even the hardest of hearts (like myself) into a blubbering mess of feelings by the end of the book.<br/><br/>The Bad: Certain parts of the book kill the vibe of the entire thing and kind of take you out of the reading. Most obviously are the parts where Hazel obsesses about an author. I get that it worked into the story as a whole, but it seemed weirdly out of place.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1W5S3NBZN7R7O?ASIN=014242417X	A Fresh New Look on Disease	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Wow!  How this author can manage to turn a rather depressing and, dare I say, overdone theme and turn it into something fresh and new astounded me.  I read this book and had a newfound appreciation for anyone experiencing cancer.  We get the real deal in this book, and the author was not lacking in humor and honesty.  I loved it from beginning to end.  I loved the characters and the truth behind the disease.  It was relatable to me, which surprised me.  I love stories that can draw you in as a reader and experience it so vividly through the characters.  I have read some of John Green's other books, and none compare to this gem.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R20TCQYY88SEBO?ASIN=014242417X	Inspired	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I got 70% through the book in my first sitting, according to my Kindle, when I started getting this prickly feeling behind my eyes.  My throat tightened.  I knew something was going to happen that was going to put my heart through a meat grinder.  I shut my Kindle down.  I wasn't ready.  I got up, had a nice cup of hot tea with milk, pet my dog, and sat back down.  I sighed.  Then I resumed reading.  Sure enough, the next chapter had me crying.  I continued reading with tears streaming down my face for the two hours that it took to finish the novel.  But as I finished the book, I wasn't just sad.  I felt hope.  I felt inspired.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2ASA3UF2SHCZ6?ASIN=014242417X	Inspiration	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">""THE FAULT IN OUR STARS"" a book you could throw at some body's face and it wouldn't hurt as much as the story. Is it true that Augustus Waters was just a fake character imagined by Hazel Grace while she was dying ?<br/>I think this is a great book for teenagers. This could change everyone's life. I use to hate books because some of them were always sad stories or they didn't make sense, but this book, this book has changed my life. Now I see things so different, in a way I didn't before reading this book. This is a really great book, maybe the best of all you've written. Thanks for writing this book.<br/><br/>Sincerely , me.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1Q5P6KF8WUQGV?ASIN=014242417X	Worth reading.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">There are certainly enough reviews for this excellent book, but I thought I would weigh in anyway, because I loved it so.  The writing is concise and feels factual (as in not-made-up).  The characters of Hazel and Augustus are well drawn, balanced and fair with each other in a decidedly unbalanced, unfair world.  I enjoyed the reading even though the story made me cry.  To be fair, my sister told me she hated it because it was not real to her.  Everyone is entitled to their opinion and I am entitled to disagree.  John Green is a good writer and more importantly, he writes about subjects that matter in a very human, caring way.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RYIIRNXKPVPOZ?ASIN=014242417X	Beautiful	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I simply adore this book, I am a newer John Green fan and when I read the first chapter of Paper Towns (which was the first book I ever read by John Green) I fell in love with the way he describes Ben's balls, to Margo's interesting personality. I have never cried when reading a book, but this time I came pretty close. I was reading it and got to Chapter Twenty (not going to spoil it for whoever is reading this) and stopped because I was afraid and furious at the same time. John Green has a way of doing that. Alas, I love it. I must say I haven't a favorite part. I am afraid I cannot choose where to start. I do Augustus, I do.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1T2AT2AL2Y1BU?ASIN=014242417X	Emotional and Real	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">John Green wrote an incredibly passionate love story within the confines of two terminally ill cancer patients that transcends the cancer issue and focuses on what's real in a great relationship.  Yes, you will cry your eyes out, because this is a very emotion-provoking book.  Really, it's cathartic.  It makes one think about what's really important in life, and what is just frivolous and petty.  Green's characters are very mature for teenagers, but that is truly what children with cancer become--very mature for their tender ages.  It's believable, it's real, it's a book that does not leave you unchanged.  Enjoy, cry, rejoice!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2V0AONFEJ80QK?ASIN=014242417X	I was Surprised	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I bought this book to prepare for the movie, as I did with Harry Potter, 1984 for a few references in Fallout, and Redwall to judge exactly how bad a fanfiction was compared to the source material. Like every other time, I found a much deeper novel within.<br/><br/>John Green has created some of the most memorable characters, especially Hazel. Hazel, unlike other people with cancer in the media, tries not to let her cancer define her or her family, and shows disease, grief, and teenage life realistically.<br/><br/>I truly recommend this book. I have  yet to watch the movie, and I hope it doesn't go all Percy Jackson on us.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2SQM1YUX2KL9Q?ASIN=014242417X	Just Amazing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I loved this book it made me laugh, cry ,and really think about everyone else in life. Augustus loved Hazel and never stopped and never will. The Fault in Our Stars is a touching book about young love and thoughts on life and I enjoyed every single bit of it. From Hazel's sarcasm, to Augustus' video games, and who could forget Isaac with his loving friendship with Gus. It is an inspiring story to not just fear death, but to actually try to be ready for it. I will always love and remember Hazel Grace And Augustus Waters.  ""That's the thing about pain, it demands to be felt""<br/>  -Augustus Waters<br/>Love u all see u soon ; )</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R16N0G4F7GAV5U?ASIN=014242417X	Pulled At The Heartstrings of This 53 Year-Old!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Wow...finished this book as an audio-book during the long drives during my vacation over the last couple of weeks. I laughed, I cried, I thought deep thoughts. Don't be mislead by this book being in the Young Adult genre...it deserves a read by all thoughtful people. The audio-book, per the author's own admittance, actually enhances the entire story by giving voice to the your ""cancer kids"": 17 year-old Augustine, his friend Isaac, and the wonderfully tragic, 16 year-old, Hazel Grace! You can hear the emotions - great sadness or great joy - in the narrator's voice. Don't miss the opportunity to be moved by this story!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2QFQ2CUO79LYL?ASIN=014242417X	Overrated, yes, but still a great read and deeply emotional	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">John Green delivered real characters that you can't help but like and a story that really tugged at the heartstrings.  I was confused by the ending - not for the plot but for why the hype was so out of control for this book.  I felt like there were several points Green failed to tie up or relate back, and I think there's just so much more he could've done to really deliver on Hazel's experience, and even Gus's experience.  Having said that, this book was one of the only ones where the movie really brought it all together for me.  Not at all a bad book, hence still giving it 4 stars, but just needed a bit more from the ending.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2VRDF1SAQXZKL?ASIN=014242417X	Beautiful!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Okay, I have to admit that I read this book AFTER watching the movie. It is just as charming and makes a little more sense, such as what the book versions of movies tend to do.  As someone who has lost a family member and a friend or two as a result of cancer, I could easily relate to what Hazel was describing.<br/><br/>As a CNA who works in a nursing home, I found that John Green 's description of the dying process, or what he had Hazel experience with Augustus, is pretty accurate and it brings back memories of those whom I have watched die.  It is not an easy process.  It hurts and it sucks for the old and terminally ill.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R12Q6W4W2DDWTY?ASIN=014242417X	Beautiful	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">John Green makes the characters so real and relatable. They're funny and clever and punctually awkward. They weren't some kind of unreachable hero/heroine, they had perfect flaws. They made me empathize. It wasn't a happy ending, but the journey was worthwhile. Also, John Green has a way of putting words to everyday events that I never could. My favorite example being ""My thoughts are stars I can't fathom into constellations."" I experience this feeling on a daily basis and I've never found adequate words, but John Green found them for me, as he has on multiple occasions. This book is worth the time and money, without a doubt.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1JYFXB6AMV9EN?ASIN=014242417X	I Was Crying By The End Of This Book It Is So Good!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I love this book! I love the fact that even though Hazel and Augustus are both really sick, and will both die fairly young, they are brave enough to live their lives while they still can.  To fall in love, answer the questions that have haunted them,  and sometimes just hang around and play video games together.  Spoiler alert! I also love that Augustus is such a great enough guy, and he really loves Hazel enough, that he spends his one and only wish on going to the Netherlands. So that Hazel can finally get the author of her all time favorite book to answer all her unresolved questions about what happens after the book ends.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R15XZKSPRFP4UE?ASIN=014242417X	Touching	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault In Our Stars is a book you can nit put down once you start reading, however, I consider myself a pretty intelligent person but many portions of the book were completely over my head. I had no idea what the characters were talking about, but still, I enjoyed the story!<br/>The story was refreshing for Hazel and Augustus in that even though they were both facing death they found true love.<br/>I would love to know what future Hazel' s life had after she read Augustus' letter at the end but just as we don't know what happened to Anna's mom and the Dutch Tulip Man, we are left to ponder our own ending for Hazel......</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R37Q4AJNTC39WP?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I typically don't write reviews for books; however i felt compelled to do so after this amazing and touching story. I have never been so moved by just words in a book! John Green was able to make me feel every emotion Hazel and Augustus felt from happy, to sad, to in love and finally to helpless. .  The emotions I felt after reading this book were as if I was experiencing it first hand and to me for an author to be able to accomplish that is breathtaking! Just a word of advice have tissues near by when reading this amazing book(:! But other then that what amazing story that will always have a VERY special place in my heart!</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2C7A8Q0UN5EK1?ASIN=014242417X	The best book I've ever read.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">To tell you the truth I never gave much thought to how a cancer kid lived. I knew their lives were pretty crappy and sucky. But it's not like I sat down on my couch and say ""humph. They must hate their lives."" But when I read this book in three days. I'm a busy person.... I was hooked. This isn't something I can just read and forget about. It was amazing and the best thing I've ever read and I read plenty. Yet I would forget every single book I I've ever read to remember this one.Augustus waters was quite a character  as much I'd shout it from the<br/> rooftops....I'wm not  as book spoiler.sorry for all the errors keyboard</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1B8X1WZ3E35LV?ASIN=014242417X	Difficult to put down!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">As a lifelong Hoosier, someone who currently lives in the Indianapolis area, and as a lover of good stories, this was definitely the book for me. I usually shy away from sappy, sad, and emotionally exhausting books, but Green knows how to balance all of that with the reality of pain and suffering. It is the perfect balance. Green perfectly and beautifully weaves together humor and sadness, light-hearted moments and poignant moments. By the end of the book, you feel as though you know Gus and Hazel, and kind of wish you could be friends with them in real life. I appreciate this book and plan to read John Green's other works.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2T1ZH51YXFSHQ?ASIN=014242417X	loved it!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Star-crossed lovers Hazel and Augustus meet at a cancer support group.  They bond over witty quips and cancer life.  There were times when I thought that two teenagers couldn't really philosophize and have such biting remarks and it seemed a bit pretentious... but that's also what I loved about the book.  They took on cancer with humor, literature, video games, banter, and a deep understanding of life with illness.  They fell in love in the typical teenager way, coupled with a prosthetic leg and an oxygen tank. They pulled at my heart strings because their love and suffering seemed so real.<br/><br/>Fantastically written.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1ARC7SBJOJ7HH?ASIN=014242417X	Inspiring	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">If I can give this book 10 stars I would but I can't so I will just stick to five. This book was beautifully written and it changed my point of view about a lot of things. There are literally no words to describe how I feel about this book but they swarm around my head like bees. This is one of my favourite books and I thank John Green for being such a talented writer. It was a romance book indeed it was but it wasn't your cliche romance book. I would recommend this book a thousand times if I could but I can't so I start small by suggesting you read this book don't second guess it. Trust me the price is worth it in the end.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RO3IXRKYVUL2Q?ASIN=014242417X	Great	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">There isn't really anything bad  I can say about this book. It's beautifully written and although a few of my friends don't particularly like John Green 's writhing style, I do.<br/>  It is a story that doesn't lie. It is very honest in the way that the world is. It tells the truth about how love is and how it does hurt, but you get though it because it's something you want with a passion. Love is passion, and I hope everyone in this world experiences it like Augustus Waters and Hazel Grace do.<br/>  In conclusion, I recommend this book to anyone who wants to know the truth: That the world is not a wish granting factory.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1TI0ZSRPYAH5Z?ASIN=014242417X	Simply beautiful.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">At first, ""The Fault in Our Stars"" was just another book turned into a movie. Everybody was talking about it, and I (being a seventeen-year-old guy) said ""eh, whatever. Another chick flick"" however, one day I was bored and nothing to do, so I decided to find out what everybody was talking about. I bought this book one afternoon and was kept up 'til about their in the morning because it was such a great read. In that amount of time I got about two thirds of the way through the book, which I finished the next morning. This is a very wonderfully written book, and I would suggest it to anyone.<br/><br/>  Vidi, lecta, clamavi</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I went through this book in three days and from the first chapter, I fell in love! I loved the characters and actually went and saw the movie right after I finished the book! :) I have already recommended it to so many people! I cried from the time where Gus was at the gas station and sick to the end of the book!!! So beautifully written and it would be an absolute honor to meet John Green! If you're reading this.... Can I just say... You're a legacy! Haha! Thank you for writing this enjoyable, but heart aching story that touched my heart and soul. &lt;3 I felt like Hazel writing Peter Van Houten when I wrote this haha...</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RTOSP818NVA40?ASIN=014242417X	Five stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was surprisingly good. Although there are some unnecessary uses of ""like"" among others, the author captured the life of a sixteen-year-old girl extremely well. I generally do not read romance novels, but I made an exception for this one to see what the hype was all about. The characters were like able and they felt like they could be real people. You could sympathize with them and laugh with them. I like how John discussed how not all cancer patients are brave inspirations. Some, like Monica in this case, are maniacs who turn into total jerks because of their tumors. I will be reading more of John Green's works.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R39BZCHINR4DUM?ASIN=014242417X	Lived up to my expectations!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book inspired me, made me laugh, made me angry, and completely broke my heart. Tissues are a must when reading this, and have them on hand from the moment you start because the tears come quickly. I found myself wanting to be friends with Hazel and Augustus. Their sense of humor and quirky way of dealing with such a terrible thing such as cancer was endearing. Isaac was a trooper and I loved how Augustus helped him deal with the ""Monica issue"" toward the end. This was an amazing story deserving of many more than 5 stars. Now that i am fully prepared for everything that happens, I plan to watch the movie next.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R66OPQIKW93Q4?ASIN=014242417X	Cancer and Teenage Angst do not a good book make.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read this book and with all the hype surrounding it I expected the Earth to shift or something and that's not what happened at all. I walked away from this book feeling disappointed and annoyed. I have read several of John Green's collaborations and maybe that's just the way I like him best because this book did nothing for me and I felt bad for not caring that Hazel and Augustus might die. I found the constant allusions to a fictional book annoying especially because it sounded like it might actually be better than the one I was reading. John Green is undoubtedly a talented writer but he dropped the ball with this one.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars shows us the harshness of life, but It also tells us that we get happy moments in between. I connected with the characters deeply, and I felt the pain as if it were mine. I read the book because a lot of my friends told me that it was amazing. It lived up to its label. I fell in love with this book the way that makes you never want it to end. Sometimes the reality of our lives doesn't get to us. The Fault in Our Stars did. This book taught me that we don't only need to focus on the little things that make us smile, but we need to hold on to them so we know that we have more than we think.<br/>- MAJ</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2QVQSYZIPKVFM?ASIN=014242417X	Teenage read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I'd say the target audience for this book is 15 year old girls, who will most likely just fall for the love story, and not really understand the existentialism the author is trying to go for. The attitude of the characters kind of bothered me a bit throughout the book, like why do these teenagers think they know more about life than anyone else just because they're dying? It comes off as self-righteous and superior. But she lightens up a bit in the last couple chapters. Overall, I wouldn't say it's a waste of time....it's a quick read, and has a few little insightful messages here and there. Otherwise, strictly Teen Read.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1RYUNCSD3RZ8Y?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars, a novel by John Green, is an excellent book. The characters are developed incredibly well; you connect to them instantly. They're like actual people, they're not overly perfect or overly fake. The word choice is is really good. John Green uses the mood extremely well to manipulate the reader to feel what the characters feel. He does an amazing job of drawing the reader in and keeping them interested through the entire book using amazing plot twists. You can connect to the relationship between Hazel and Augustus. We learn from them, that in spite of all tragedy it is still worth it to love somebody.</span>"

John Green  has combined these over worked themes to make something fresh and charming, witty and intimate.  So rare to find a coming of age story told f rom the perspective of centered, intelligent, sensitive young adults.  Perhaps these are the qualities bestowed by the crucible of cancer.  Fighting the disease leaves no energy for pretense, posing or subterfuge.  Read the book, don't wait for the movie.  I doubt that movie makers can resist the opportunities to turn this book into a maudlin parade of stereotypes.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3AOHUA9OU1690?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault In Our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book not only was able to be a romantic novel but have the truth about different cancers and its victims and also about society and its flaws. Some words were a little difficult to understand at some points but without a doubt I would give The Fault In Our Stars 5 out of 5 stars! I highly recommend it for any age of adolescents up to adults. It is a Wonderful book and definitely one that will make you shed a few tears... (or way more in my case). Hope you decide to read it and if you do hope you enjoy it and get as much of a Great read out of it as I did! Thanks a lot to Mr. John Green for such a Fantastic story!!!:)</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1LZ1SRAJ51LLT?ASIN=014242417X	I fell in love with the quirky	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I didn't want to read this book because I was totally uninterested in a teenage romance/death-by-cancer story.  I happened across it at the library and figured I had nothing to lose by getting it, just to see what all the hoo-haw was about.  I even waited until I finished all my other library books before halfheartedly beginning it.  Ah me, was I wrong about the story.  This book broke my heart.  I fell in love with the quirky, funny, intelligent characters and was pleased to come across so many literary references that required me to stop and look up some great poetry.  Read this book, even if it makes your heart hurt!!</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2ZYBROPUY9KS0?ASIN=014242417X	Wonderful book and movie for all to experience!!!!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was amazing!!! Much like the movie, this isnt your typical mushy romantic drama. Its packed with witty conversations and hilarious little events that kept me giggling every few minutes, especially from Augustus friend Isaac. Needless to say the end is captivating and tearfully ridden with tons of emotions. I could not imagine having cancer at such a young age, and i am humbled by those who deal with such pain day in and out, my prayers go out to you!  Its nice to see a book not focus soo much on the torment of the cancer and more on the life still to be lived in the time you have left, especially as a teenager.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1Z2DGO2SWGEXC?ASIN=014242417X	Intriguing. Hook you like a fish	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is one I heard to be good and really emotional. But it barely matched that description. This book has been absolutely amazing. Great beyond compare. And I cried. I cried! It's a big thing if a book makes me cry. It made me grin and frown and feel sad. I greatly recommend this to all who enjoy romance and have a wide internal dictionary, need I say. I must admit, being just a new teen, I didn't know MOST of the words. But I have a expansive vocabulary. This is definitely a book you should have a dictionary handy for. But nevertheless, this is one of greatest books I have had the privilege to read in a long time.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R39IDIXLGQB0Z9?ASIN=014242417X	Realistic on both teenager and cancer fronts	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I've been a teenager. I've had cancer (or have cancer--I mean, when you get a diagnosis, you know it can always come back). It's actually the cancer piece that brought me to this book--friends had recommended it to me and I finally decided to order it for my kindle. I'm glad I did. I pretty much read it in one sitting. One of the things that also impressed me is that it seems to be pretty true to what I remember from being a teenager--maybe less angry, although I appreciated that there was a fair amount of anger that got expressed. I also thought the descriptions of grief--of the many kinds of grief--was pretty on point.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RUEC88I5V7OFO?ASIN=014242417X	Fantastic any  adult read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars is a touching, romantic, and creative story that you won't be able to put down. Green brings honesty and reality to this fairy tale-ish love story.The content of this story may be fictional, but there is brutal truth to it that anyone can relate to. Everyone has suffered and has loved ones who have suffered and past on. The Fault in Our Stars will tear at even the most unbreakable heart strings.<br/><br/>The story ends ironically and abruptly, and the content can be far too risky for tweens or younger teens, however. Overall, I do recommend The Fault in Our Stars very highly for anyone 14 to 94.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3R13IMRCFQTZ4?ASIN=014242417X	Not Just for Young Adults	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">It took me a while to get around to reading this book, partly because I was put off by the ""Young Adult"" categorization.  I needn't have been. The Fault in Our Stars is young adult fiction in the same way that Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet is a young adult drama.  It can be good for all of us to see life with a beginner's mind, to clear away the fog and clutter of years and recall how it was to experience things for the first time.  When the experience of love, mortality and death raises all the big questions, we could be in for a powerful experience or a huge letdown.  In this case it is definitely the former.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">It is so good it left me crying and wondering. And smiling. But melancholy. Shows to appreciate your breaths. Let loose. Not to worry. And that nothing is Garunteed. And so indescribable it leaves you sputtering like an idiot. Amazing. No words of mine can come near to describing. This book has done me wonders. Thank you Hazel Lancaster; Augustus Waters, and most of all John and Sarah Green. Thank you for this book. And I hate to say it but, I most likely will not see the movie in theaters. But at my house on a DVD due to the fact that I am against crying in public. Lol. Whoever read this I hope you've enjoyed somewhat.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R97G4AUHJWAKQ?ASIN=014242417X	Keeps getting better each time	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">So this is the third time I'm reading Hazel and Augustus story, I foolishly thought this time I wouldn't cry my eyes out -no pun intended Isaac- and feel as much as I did the first two times, but I was obviously wrong. TFiOS has become one of my favorite books of all time, and I highly recommend reading it. It really doesn't matter what's your cup of tea when reading a book, if you are into crime novels, love stories, historical, etc because if you love reading a GOOD story, you will enjoy reading this one, so give it a chance, just make sure to keep your own version on ""Bluie"" close to you or a box of Kleenex..</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3VPSATRM8FM7G?ASIN=014242417X	One of the most spectacular books in the history of this broken down universe.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">My review is no more than just a couple of sentences. But let me tell you, this has an impact on my heart. Not on the outside but on the inside. Smack down in the center of my heart. Augustus was caring loving and special. I don't think that anyone in the history of this broken down universe has loved each other any more. This is just a book you might say, but I say that this is ""Just a book that was no more spectacular than heaven. This book is in my heart, and it always will be. John Green if you ever read this comment just know that you have an 11 year old girl fan that will love you until you die. -Love Ava Shipley</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R302PJ8Q10EMTJ?ASIN=014242417X	Laughing, crying, and a whole lot of reflecting on life	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I've cried from plenty of books. I've laughed from plenty more. But no book has ever had the ability to steer you between both spectrums so seamlessly and so swiftly. One paragraph will just chill you to the bones with its haunting honesty, and the next will have you laughing from that same honesty, with tears still streaming down your cheeks. No book offers a better depiction of how to go about living and loving your life, regardless of circumstance. This is all at once the saddest story, and one of the funniest, but absolutely positively the most brutally honest depiction of life in its brightest and darkest moments.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/ROYQGG017IACA?ASIN=014242417X	I could say it was the best ever but I would be lying.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">First off I can see why people thought this book was amazing because of the ending. When  started reading this book because everyone was saying how 'amazing' it was. When people say its amazing I expect amazing. To be completely honest the book dragged on. I seriously had to force myself to finish the book. The subplots were dull and the characters were shallow. I think it was WAY overrated. I think its more of a teenage girl read than an adult or kid read. The plot really went no where and just kept dragging on forever. If you are interested in Teenage romance and dont  care about a plot then this is the book for you.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R35K8OGNC6D9MB?ASIN=014242417X	Paplable	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I decided to read this when two of my Goodreads friends highly recommended it. I read it quickly and this is what I know:  Grief is palpable!  I have had it in my life and I know I am surely to experience it again.  This book evoked such strong emotion that it hurt and reminded me of how grief feels. The author does a good job in making you invested in these characters.  Yes, these teenagers were wise beyond their years, but their battle with cancer sped up their understanding of life. It was also poignant and real for me because I used to live in Indianapolis for many years and could picture the geographic references.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3EWEIUVCVGPN9?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in Teenage Conversation	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Beautifully written story that is both hilarious and touching.  However, the diction used by the characters, in addition to the manner in which I believe it to be delivered, create a distance between the reader and the characters.  No teenager would use ""higher-education"" level diction in everyday conversation amongst peers.  Perhaps I'm biased because I'm familiar with the author's vlog series, but it seemed more plausible that these conversations were held between John and Hank Green rather than Hazel and Gus.  Other than this issue, the book is fantastic, and should still be read for its entertainment value.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Rating 3.5/5<br/><br/>The book is nicely written. Its about a teenager girl and a guy who fall in love, both of them have cancer. The story progression is not over a long period. I feel the secondary characters did not have much depth in them. I love to imagine the characters of the book. The writer gave more importance to the lead characters while the secondary ones I would say were just average. Overall the book was a good read and would definitely recommend it but with some reservation. I have not seen the film yet and the book did not make me want to see it either. I'm sure I will watch it at some point of time.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R115A4MXOLK0PD?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in Our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">First loves usually end at just the right time and lovers move on to a love more substantial.  Not in this book.  The unsuspected delightfulness of their love grows exponentially until the total essence of their being is defined by it.  Since both of them have cancer, there is only one way the book can end, and there is no surprise happy healthy ending.  But in their short,  exquisite  time together, they capture and embrace the sweet and powerful essence of what a man and a woman can mean to each other.  Their love made me yearn for a second chance to do my own first love over, even if I had to face the same outcome.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2AQQM4KEGRPRL?ASIN=014242417X	I see what you did there...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I should like very much to smack John Green right upside his head.<br/><br/>I resisted reading this book in spite of all the hype and popularity for quite some time. Then for lack of something better to read I checked it out of the library. I was in tears before the second chapter. Thanks John Green for reducing me to a bawling mess unable to look away from this very well written tragedy that was oddly lighthearted and even silly! I could not help but love this book and this author. Paper Towns is next, hopefully it's less heartbreaking!</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RZGX1PQDWO284?ASIN=014242417X	Heartbreaking and Wonderfully Told	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read this book in less than a day, it was that hard to put down. The author's writing was very real, and very plain. He didn't sully the story by trying to over-describe or use filly words, he just told it as a realist would tell it-and he let the words fall where they would, to be read as the reader chooses to read them. It was a heart-wrenching story, yet I did not find myself in mourning of the characters, rather celebrating their short-lived lives on the pages before me, and the love they had shared in print.<br/><br/>Because after all, pain demands to be felt, and all the pain is worth it if you love enough.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1Y0NV7NP7VK3Q?ASIN=014242417X	the only book that has ever made me cry	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was recommended to my by a close friend who is now more than a friend to me. As he described it I was sure he was exaggerating as people do when they describe the things they love. I was surprised and elated to find that he in fact was not exaggerating. TFIOS is unique in the way that it is both miraculous, and hilarious, all the while part of you knows a tragedy is inevitable. One of those books that you don't want to end but you can't help but read on. I've long been a fan of the great John Green and plan to read everything else he has written. Can't wait for the movie, I just hope they can do it justice.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1UIBZQLAZC720?ASIN=014242417X	lovely and heartbreaking	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I have heard nothing but praise for this book and I understand why. It was inspiring in a way that nothing fabulous or heroic happened in it. John Green painted a beautiful picture for this book and the world of Hazel and Augustus. However the storyline was very straight line. It never really got to a rising action point to where you were glued to the book. I liked it very much but in the end it wasn't as I imagined it would be from all the praise I'd heard from fellow fans. None the less it was a beautiful story and kept you thinking about how the world works. This realistic piece was definitely a must read though.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1VAENQVXWWCOH?ASIN=014242417X	The Ending	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars was a different read for me... It had been a while since I had read something so purely inspired by a teenager in love. Hazel is a rarity in the world, driven by her family, she chose to keep fighting in a situation so unwinnable until Augustus Waters came into her life. They had a chemistry from the first time they locked eyes and that isn't something that you come across everyday. This book is an inspiration to me. For the love among friends, family, and lovers. Star-crossed indeed were Hazel and Augustus. You will fall in love with this book just as you fall asleep: slowly than all at once.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2Q7QVU59LX7ZV?ASIN=014242417X	Praise for John Green!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">after reading this book, I felt so uplifted. it's not like I have cancer or anything, but it really makes you appreciate everything. it sounds cheesy but it's  true. the littlest things can be so important and this book really helps you realize it. the tale of Augustus and Hazel is truly the most amazing love story but with a little infinity. I wish I could've come up with a better title for this review but to find out just how great The Fault in our Stars is, just read it!! John Green has written such an amazing book and it would be insulting to him if you did not read it! A book like this deserves to be praised!!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3RAC79C8HNSLV?ASIN=014242417X	I don't have words for this one	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Just read it. I expected this to be a really stupid book, because it was so hyped up (plus there's the upcoming  movie), but I eventually gave in and bought it. This book was a total emotional rollercoaster and I found myself shaking my Kindle and screaming, ""WHY WOULD YOU WRITE THIS?!"" while sobbing hysterically. But, I also found myself ""Aww""-ing, and laughing, falling in love with the characters, and thoroughly engrossed. I basically read this in one sitting. Even though parts of it broke my heart, it was a wonderful book and I highly recommend it, whether you're 15 or 105 or anywhere in between.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1LOX21I66682X?ASIN=014242417X	Really well written, and enjoyable for adults as well as YA	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I was caught up in the characters from almost the first page. John Green has an excellent ear and flair for getting the tone of teenager thoughts just right. And even though the lead doesn't always behave the way you hope, you can't help but love her. The first two-thirds of the book flew by, and it was hard to stop reading even for a minute. The last third got caught up a bit in trying to resolve the plot, and it wasn't quite as effective, though still able to pack an emotional punch. Adolescent love, parental love, aging with regrets are all covered here, and as well and effectively as I can remember. Great book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RLOH2STBPZF8P?ASIN=014242417X	Read and reviewed by a eleven year old	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I loved this book. It is based on real life, not some fairytale. But some parts of this book is fairytale like yet connected to our as well. Love. I mean true love, I thought a future for the characters, and I assure you they are having a wedding.<br/>Love is cherished but feared to leave scars, pain is feared but than how can you no joy? Grief is highly un liked but is added hear any ways. There are a fare share of economical parts, but tears still are ahead and laughter was yet to be shared. Allas there are still the fault in our stars.<br/>-written by Gaby (11 yrs old!) The story is beautiful yet causes pain.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I am surprised I haven't written a response to this book as soon as I finished it. I believe that my kindle isn't working when I rate books from there. This is a story EVERYONE should read. It pulls very hard at your heart and the characters are so believable and likable I felt as if I knew them so well as I got into this book. It is difficult to imagine 16 year old adolescents having to deal with terminal illness and these increble characters do it with profound grace! I would like to think I could even come close to the integrity of these young amazing characters. Please read this book. You will never forget it!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2R6Z42YUMHKO?ASIN=014242417X	Good read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in our Stars is solid read with pretty good balance between serious aspects of terminal illness and teenage lightheartedness. Author succeeded in depicting genuine bravery of terminal patient without slipping into tacky sentimentality of big words, empty promises and meaningless speeches. Though I’m quite fond of good fantasy fiction or SF, relating to characters that actually use Google, e-mail and cell phones was surprisingly refreshing. Characters are decently developed and believable, plot well-paced. Though it isn’t necessarily the greatest work of fiction ever written, it is still worth your time.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1BZU7FXQ2OWOZ?ASIN=014242417X	The sprained ankle	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I like books with romance, I do. But my favorite romance novels are the ones with romances that hurt. They're not easy, breezy, carefree and wrapped up in a cute package with a happy ending on top. They're sad reminders that love is unfair. Kind of like a sprained ankle. The only reason I didn't give this novel 5 stars is because Hazel and Augustus make me feel like a stupid teen haha. I never spoke like that and I don't think I'll ever love like that, although I hope I do. However, given their unfortunate circumstances and the poor handiwork of fate, I'll excuse them. Well written, hope the movie is alright too.</span>"

It was good, not great, solid work, but I don't expect to read it again, I don't want to talk about it; sure - some quotes linger with me, but meh. I was bored at many parts, the plot didn't really engage me much. I don't know, maybe I'm jsut cynical but it didn't do much for me. This book was a reflection of the author's personality. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing just...unrealistic and a bit lazy. But solid work. Just solid. Meh. Now that is has an average of 5 stars on amazon, I feel alienated giving it three stars,haha.</span>"

I read the sample :)))))))))))))))))))))))) &lt;- my reaction I pleaded to get this book and btw I knew as soon as she was talking about van houten's book ended in the middle I knew this one would to. I have nothing else to say except if this was real I would be writing a much longer letter to Augustus and Caroline. This book might encourage me to read more (not) unless he writes a sequel which probably won't happen because he is probably trying to protrait Van Houten as himself. btw I'm pretty sure I have the same type of cancer as Hazel.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R313K1JUYY1T4Y?ASIN=014242417X	Great	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">At first when I bought it I just felt stupid. I felt as if I was falling for a stupid trick and everyone is only saying they like this story because that's what there friends are saying even if it's the first book they've ever really cracked open. I might be a teen but I've read many books and series from Harry potter to hunger games all the way to Willow By Julia Hoban and I have to say this book was not a disappointment. The story was well written and was sad at the right times and funny at the right times. I'm sad that it is over but I will re-read in the near future and over many times. Thank you John Green.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2H2A32M8JBZ5L?ASIN=014242417X	Beautiful Inner Light	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The novel rises above other fiction in its authenticity, stark and splendid. The characters explode stereotypes with their honest portrayal. It is impossible to see people with cancer as nothing more than an extension of their disease, but instead we see them as unique individuals all part of the constellation of stars from which we all are made. The literary and historical inclusions enhance the universal appeal.  The novel teaches through allowing its readers to feel in order to comprehend. As its title suggests our fate is written only by our response to what is painted in our stars, not the stars themselves.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RXZWO80AZCQL1?ASIN=014242417X	Poignant and True	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">You do not need to have cancer to understand Hazel's love for Augustus. Their story, regardless of disease, is remarkable and not unlike the tragedy Romeo and Juliet.<br/>I knew walking in that The Fault in Our Stars would be sad, depressing, and that I would wind up crying at multiple points throughout.<br/>But I really didn't know that I would fall head over heals with this book the further I would dive in.<br/>The Fault in Our Stars really is all that critics and fans say it is. This is not just a simple coming of age young adult book -- this is a novel. It should be a must read for teens and adults alike.</span>"

This book is beautiful and terrible at the same time.  It tears your heart apart and then puts it back together again.  You will find yourself falling in love and then wanting to kill the author and everyone around you.  It took me all of three hours to finish this, and I didn't once put it down.  I won't spoil anything, but I will tell you that this book is so influential, you will never soon forget it.  You will feel like you are living the greatest life to be lived, and you will feel like you are slowly dying with the characters. Read this book and it will change your life forever, trust me.</span>"

Their imperfections made them perfect. The main character wasn't a typical teenage girl, but I still related to her and her way if thinking. The only problem I had with this book was that although it was really good, I had higher expectations. The rave over this book kind of made no sense to me, the romance could have been more romantic. It seemed to go by quickly and I couldn't become as attached to  hazel and Augustus' relationship. I wasn't as heartbroken by the ending as everyone else seemed to be. Overall this book was a good read and I enjoyed it.</span>"

Provides unique insight from a teenager perspective on dealing with life as a teen while also dealing with the realities of cancer. There are some great life quotes in this book - some that make you go ""huh - wow! yes!"" This one is hard to put down once you've jumped into it, but it's not very long so is a good weekend read. I gave it 4 stars primarily for its unique perspective, surprising story line, and some really nice words of wisdom throughout.

It not only makes you smile through the heart warming love but also makes you cry at what we all fear, death, and that's what is so wonderful about this book, it shows you that there are always two sides to a coin and that is how life is, but in those moments in which you love and you are loved you regret nothing no matter what comes after, like dear Augustus said, ""I'm on a roller coaster that only goes up, my friend."" and that's how we should all live our lives, in the moment not in hopes of the possible but perhaps never accomplished future.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2U24GAFNEFLRP?ASIN=014242417X	Hands down, the best YA book I read in 2013	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read several dozen YA books each year (yes, I do know I have a problem). And this one was simply without peer.<br/><br/>How does an author write a novel about ""cancer kids"" without resorting to maudlin and Kleenex-ridden hospital scenes showing how the sickness has refined the kids' souls and they are just so special and brave, etc.? I'm not sure if I would have believed it possible before reading this book that someone could write a soulful and TRUE book about teens with life-threatening illness. Yet here it is, honest and funny and raw and devastating.<br/><br/>I will be reading this book again.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3KYV6Y1IU35ZU?ASIN=014242417X	Review of The Fault in Our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is a review of the audio book read by a female narrator (not the one read by John Green).<br/><br/>There's already plenty of praise for Green in this herd of reviews; I won't try to add to this. I will note that having a female play the role of narrator for this audiobook is a much better choice than having Green read it himself. Green acknowledges this, and I respect his decision to produce two editions.<br/><br/>I'm not widely read in YA literature, but Green might be the gold standard. His work have less imagination, but far more depth, self-awareness and insight, than Rowling or other competitors.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3K9G54YMZ5R8L?ASIN=014242417X	Real, honest fiction	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I decided to buy this book and read it because the movie was coming out.  I hadn't read reviews or heard much about but since it was YA fiction I kept my expectations low figuring I want the target audience and therefore would have a hard time connecting to the story.  But this is so much more than YA fiction.  it deals with cancer in a way we are not accustomed to seeing in print.  it is honest and real and the characters so well developed that I had to stop reading toward the end at work out of fear someone would see me overcome with emotion in my cubicle.  I highly recommend this to anyone regardless of age</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R24TB9HSGAQPAH?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in Our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars is absolutely amazing!!!!! I love this book and will read way more because of how great it is!! However, this book is for as higher grade level I read it anyway and I am so glad I did!! Honestly, I can not wait till the movie comes out. After seeing the trailer it made me want to read the book even more. I saw the b trailer when I was about half way through the book and fell in love. Honestly, this is mostly likely my favorite book I've ever read. If you like this type of book defiantly go for it. I will most likely read it again before the movie comes out and I am looking forward to it.</span>"

I have no prior experience reading John Green	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I heard so much about this book from so many people that I had to read it when my granddaughter handed it to me.  I was so disappointed! I have no prior experience reading John Green, maybe he doesn't come across as quite so pretentious in his other novels, but that's definitely apparent in this one.  Hazel and Augustus did not engage me at all, they too were pretentious.  The plot was so predictable. There were no surprises and it seemed geared toward exploiting teenage readers and selling movie rights.  That's one I'll never see.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RX382NWXV04MC?ASIN=014242417X	There is definitely no fault in the stars of this novel.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read this book in one sitting. I don't remember if I have ever done that before. I have been reading this book constant thinking what I would write about this book. I don't know what else to write that has already not been written before. The passion of events in the book made me gulp all the words, sentences that came between the event and the start of the next event. I'm grateful for the movie that inspired me to read this book. I think the film gave me the necessary imagination to thoroughly enjoy this book. I don't think there is any film which has remained so truthful to the book. Thank you John Green.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">As a seventy seven year old woman, I never thought I'd love a book that is a seventh and eighth grade fav., but so I discovered after I had found it a ""Can't put this book down.""  I loved it because it seemed so honest and unaffected. Yes, the main characters were precocious and even a bit nerdy, but they also seemed so awake. I found it genuine that their self absorption increased as their pain and illness progressed.  After reading it I found myself more awake and even resilient.  Thank you John Green. I am so thrilled to know that pre- teens and young teen have such good food on their reading list.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1I7T2HB20E58L?ASIN=014242417X	Recommended for Readers Who Want A Novel That Touches Their Soul But Dosen't Break It.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">John Green writes another brilliant novel that makes the reader start to view and think the world with a new perspective. Yes, this is indeed a beautiful novel that no one could regret spending the their time reading it. While I will always recommmend this book to anyone I do believe that John Green has writen better novels such as Looking For Alaska. Readers won't be able to help but to write down some of the quotes in this book to remember and maybe use for later but unfortunately the plot is a bit predictable since almost all of the characters have cancer so you know that somone will end up dead or sicker.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3IP7UIJAHGNRK?ASIN=014242417X	a book that made me feel empty	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was very hard for me to read. I am a school teacher and many of my students were reading this book. I usually read books that my students are reading because it helps me build a rapport with them. The hard part for me is that my grandmother died of thyroid cancer two months ago. It was fast acting and as I read this book I wondered how she might have really felt. We tried to be optimistic but with every trial we had some new problem occur. So I believe this book will touch many people and I feel that is probably the truth, but for me it was a struggle. Having said that I could not put the book down.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RA7HKO0WQ6AQY?ASIN=014242417X	Lovely but not realistic	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This was a really entertaining, lovely story. I think it tries to take an honest approach on how cancer might affect a family, but the portrayal of teenage love was not so believable. Like many reviewers have mentioned these kids aren't very ""teenager-y"" in the was they talk and interact, perhaps it's to show how their disease has made them grow up but I don't think it's realistic. People are often made to believe that love is full of grand romantic gestures, but it's not. Regardless of some of the over the top aspects you do feel for the characters - I barely put it down and would still recommend it.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RM1H10O48ZDYX?ASIN=014242417X	It is the best!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Spoilers<br/><br/>My mom read this book for her book group.<br/><br/>I am 11 and started reading it on my kindle because it was there. It is a great book because I know many people who have had or died of cancer, like most recently my 8 year old cousin Christopher :( but even though through his last moments with us Christopher, I thought, was strong like Hazel Grace was through her fight and I was sooo sad when<br/> Augustus died. I loved the ending and the plot and the characters and everything. The book was a little inappropriate at times so I suggest this book is for ages 13 and up. But I LOVED it!!!</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3KP0X10KI0LP2?ASIN=014242417X	Complex and beautiful	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">When I told my friends what I was reading, the universal response was WHY WOULD ANYONE READ ABOUT DYING TEENS??? But really, it's not about the dying, it's about the living, as Hazel makes clear at the end of the book. These characters are so alive that it shines a light on how often it is that the rest of us (those of us without a ""terminal diagnosis"") actually aren't. The complexity of the narrative structure, the writing about what writing means to those who love to read it, those are added benefits, the cherry on top, of a brilliant, moving and passionate love song to life. Please read this book!</span>"

I love your book because i once volunteered for people with problems like this andi really believe this book, of what you wrote, i love how you express real feelings so WELL, i cant wait to watch the movie!but of course books always include more...<br/>There are also things in the book that i didnt know, but that my brain still looks in every hiding spot to believe and understand the meanings of these feelings... my brain is also very... participated, interested, smart, i guess... convinced!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1T2S9CATNPQPK?ASIN=014242417X	Beautiful, sad, amazing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is honestly one of my new favorite books.  It showed how love in only a few month period of time can feel like a lifetime. It made me cry during the tougher, sadder times of the story and honestly, it felt so real.  I gave this a 5 out of 5 because truly and realistically, it was so amazing and beautifully written. I love to write (but frankly I'm not the best story maker).<br/>I found this book by someone who had to do a book report on it and it sounded cool. I had also seen the movie preview for it and it looked so good. I recommend this book to everyone and I really hope you enjoy it!!! :D :D :D :D</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3AA57J5TQYU32?ASIN=014242417X	Worthy of Ten Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is a FANTASTIC book. With so many other reviews already posted here, nobody really needs to hear my opinion, but I wanted to give it, anyway. The voice in this book is the best of any I've ever read, the characters are well-developed, and the story is beautifully told. You might think a story whose main characters are teenagers dying of cancer might be too much of a downer, but it isn't. Sad? Yes. But these characters are so special, and their voices so unique, I think this brilliant book is a must-read for just about anyone.<br/><br/> I liked this book so much, I may have to read it all over again.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3TZDCEVYO7SPQ?ASIN=014242417X	Building up hope	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I know this book has been out for a while and yes, I finally decided to read it now that the movie will be in theaters soon. I usually like to read the novels before seeing the movie. :) This novel is tremendous. It can be heartwarming and depressing all in the same breath. But Augustus, Hazel, Isaac all seem to be truly living life to the fullest - within the restrictions imposed by their ""death sentences"". It really makes you realize that making your mark is about being  remembered and not forgotten.<br/><br/>This is quite a lovely book. Suggestion: bring tissues while you read for crying AND laughing.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/ROGDBMLDU9PSH?ASIN=014242417X	Worth a read but prepare to cry	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Insightful, delightful, while simultaneously heartbreaking. This is an amazing story that captures what it is like to love somebody with a terminal illness. I have not seen the movie, so I can't compare. After reading the book I don't really feel like I need to see the movie. I read this rather quickly because it was very engaging, from one page to the next I wanted to know what would happen. The dialogue is charming and witty and the characters pull you into their story in a fascinating way. Definitely worth a read, unless kids with cancer is too big of a trigger for you, then I would caution against it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R37W09TRX2J7A9?ASIN=014242417X	Don't judge a book by its cover!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Sometimes you read a book and walk away feeling empty and that the author didn't even understand the characters he was writing about! This book made me feel as though I lived another life! I walk away from this book feeling smarter and grateful for my little world. You see I like Hazel am not loved widely but know true love. This is a wonderfully written book and I am better for getting a glimpse of a life situation so different from my own. I would recommend most people read this. Do not let the popularity scare you away or make you think this is just another teen story. Thank you for sharing John Green!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RW8FIPUSV6E9R?ASIN=014242417X	Funny, intelligent, real, and oh, so very sad	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This isn't a typical book about kids with cancer. It's about that, but has so much more to say. The characters struggle with the knowledge that they won't be able to make a difference in the world, that they don't want to be remembered only for their ""battle with cancer"" (and they don't like that description, either), and also with just trying to be teenagers, even teenagers in love.<br/><br/>There are a lot of funny moments in this very well-written book, great literary quotes, and some really heartbreaking moments. Overall, I'm really glad I read it, but it's going to take me some time to get over it.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3AR0RDPTOO67?ASIN=014242417X	Review From the Patronized	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I think this book is fantastic. Really. It's full of life in a way not many books are. Hazel and Gus are some of the most realistic characters I've ever seen. One moment, they think of their own mortality, and the next they worry about eggs being forced into the role of breakfast food. Honest to goodness, most writers patronize and sugar coat YA fiction until it means nothing. If you want to read something that makes you feel alive, like you're not alone in the wanderings of your mind and heart, read this.<br/>P.S Thank you, John Green, for your distinct lack of patronization and sugar coated baby crap.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2DRUGAAAB858Y?ASIN=014242417X	BEST BOOK EVER!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was probably the best book I've ever read. I'd never read a book by John Green before I read this one. WOW. He is truly an amazing writer. This book was very well written. My favorite romantic love story/ tragedy.<br/>While this book was very sad at times, it was entertaining. I never once become bored with it. I will add one dislike about it- lots of language in it. (Curse words) Definitely more suitable for teens or adults. Not appropriate for kids younger than at least 13 I would say.<br/>I am so glad I read this book! Definitely worth my time. I would recommend this to anyone 13 or older.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">It took me awhile to get my hands on this book since so many people were waiting for it at the library. I'm picky about my reads and did not expect a novel about teenagers with cancer to live up to the media hype. Well, it totally does. It's been months since I picked up a novel and could not put it back down. (Love those marathon reading sessions until 3am!) This a book within a book that seamlessly blends allusions to classic Shakespeare and popular fiction, films, video games that young adults of all ages can relate to. If I were a high school English teacher, I would add this book to my reading list!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1BHVK07LJF5GY?ASIN=014242417X	Loved this book!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I loved it! Very sad, but also very funny. A good snapshot of young people dealing with the threat of dying, there is not a whiff of self pity from any of the characters. My son (and family) have travelled that route, the book gave me amazing insight on how tough it is to be a teenager with cancer, but that humour comes with it as well and the line I loved the best was when Hazel's dad said it is possible to live with pain. I try to avoid pain! I came upon the book almost by accident but it resonated with so many parts of my life. Well done John Green, I am now discovering all your other teenager books!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RTW2LT9E9H04O?ASIN=014242417X	Brilliant, brilliant book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">There is so much that's smart and good about this book. I love these kids, and their story, and I feel blessed that I got to spend time in the world the author created for them. There are rare moments in life that I'm aware of how sacred each moment is, even the crappy ones; reading The Fault in Our Stars brought that awareness right to my heart. Highly, highly recommend reading it.<br/><br/>I just read some of the negative reviews. While I agree the teenagers could seem unrealistic, it was very easy for me to forgive that, for the beauty in the story. Let yourself be carried away! You won't be sorry.</span>"

It is a great, unique love story that had me in tears while reading. Johnn Green is a great writer, he did a great job explaining the story through hazel (one of the main characters). This book did not have me bored at one second, it was a wreck of emotions. One page I was happy, The next I was mad, then i’d find myself crying. I’ve never been so bipolar! The story is not a “fairytale” because its really realistic, so its not anything too cheesy, which was perfect for a teenager like me attending high school. It has a good plot twist, its clear and fun.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I'm an unusual consumer of this book...a twenty five year survivor of teenage cancer. With my history I often find myself overly emotional with teen-cancer topics. This book strangely didn't make me a crying mess as I expected it would. While I found the depictions of that world to be believable, I wasn't drawn in as deep as I thought I'd be. As a expert cancer patient would, I found a few mistakes which of course my have taken me out if the story a bit.  Overall, a good story. Brings to life a world relatively unknown to most, the teens with cancer realm, in a believable, insightful, and poignant way.</span>"

John Green writes honestly  about the anguish of cancer while still giving the reader an experience of hope and appreciation for all that life has to offer...most saliantly, love. in the end this is a book about love. It's been a long time since I've read a book so full of life, with characters that are so captivating and lovable. This story made me think deeply about my own life, it made me smile, it made me cry, but most importantly, it helped me fully appreciate my life, life itself, and this very moment. I highly recommend this book!</span>"

They grab me and wont let go of my heart. I love when they do that but at the same time I sit here and cry like a baby because I get too involved with the characters. Even my hubby knew something was up when he heard me sigh that sigh during this book and he said ""you're going to cry aren't you?"" You see, that's this type of book, the kind that you should read if you want a sappy young romance but one that will stay with you.<br/><br/>Great writing, well developed characters, meaningful storylines. Thank you.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R30E42P09MFH1M?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing novel	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I received Green's novel as a gift. Although it was at times hard and sad, it held a depth of optimism and love for a love story and not a story about cancer. A story about two souls loving each other. It is kind of bittersweet though and I had the impression that my eyes were blurred the whole time because of Green's delicate writing and at times, utter comprehension of the author regarding cancer. And yet, without knowing specific details about this illness, I felt drawn by his description of people's reactions towards cancer, towards our fear of the ""other one"". A beautiful story all in all.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I really wasn't sure what I was getting into when I hit the ""one-click"" buy button for this one and I'm so very glad I did. I expected that it would make me sad (it did) but I didn't expect it to stay with me for this long--the main character is quite forthcoming about how she deals with having cancer, how it's probably even harder for her parents  than her, but being witness to her relationship with Augustus unfold is the really delightful part of the book--how wonderful it was for them to find each other at a time when they needed to be needed. LOVE this book and just might even see the movie. Maybe.</span>"

It can be read by a teen but an adult reader can also enjoy it and all will feel the very purest of life and love between two young people both living with a terminal disease. They were able to find joy in themselves and in the world and people around them and were able to enjoy the simplest of things be it an old swing in her backyard or a trip to Amsterdam where they could find a different world for a few short days that they could just be alone and revel in the time they had left together on this earth.

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is the type of book that leaves a ever laying impression on you about the world we live in. It makes you think about what life and death is like and what your true beliefs are. It makes you wish you could go back and read for the first time again. I will forever remember this and I just want to thank john green for this amazing book. I felt like I actually knew Augustus and Hazel, an it makes me wonder what happens to her in the end. It mad me laugh it made me cry and it changed my life all in all. I recommend this book to everyone in the universe and know all I have to do is watch the movie.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RSEPRMVHNEPVW?ASIN=014242417X	On the second box of tissues	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I used to read books like this a lot. Shorter, personal narratives that ended in some ones death and me trying to prevent any more tear stains from crinkleling up the pages. Then I stopped. Then John Green comes out with this stupid thing an d I'm left sobbing wondering why I friggin' care so much for characters who's lives truly do begin and end as squiggles on paper.<br/>To be short, I think the hilarity, the feels, the harsh yet logically solid observations, and the pedophilic swing set make this a book I will annoyingly recommend to my equally as emotional teenage galpals. Oh, and go Nerdfighteria</span>"

I heard of the title because it was a successful movie this year, the book surpassed any expectations I might have had before. We hear about ""Carpe Diem"" but these kids really have to live it, they have to make the best of every day because their illness can pop up at any time. One of the kids said it is depressing, the other said it is beautiful, i think both of my kids are right. The other part i like is the quick wit of the characters. I am ready for the DVD to watch over the weekend, it just came out this week on Redbox.</span>"

I think that it shows the realism in cancer. The book was complex and deep so I'll start explaining<br/><br/>Gus was my favorite character. He really showed the lighter side if cancer. He created a kind of lighter tone to sadder life. When he entered the book I thought he really was kind of calm for his condition. Then he fell in love with Hazel. I think he kind of brought meaning to her depressed life. He then showed how much he loved her with giving her his dying wish, and finally he showed the true nature of cancer.</span>"

My 15 year old daughter wanted to read this book so she and I read it together. I have read several of John Green's books and this one is the best so far. There are true emotions by these character's and as a reader, you feel those emotions and learn things that only someone living through them would feel. The story moved at a good pace and the ending was complete. I will also tell you to make sure you have kleenex on hand...as I cried several times throughout the book. This book was a nice conclusion to my John Green genre.</span>"

It's been a while since I read a book and I must say that this really was a good ""welcome-back into the world of books"" type of book. (If that made any sense). Anyways, I started reading this book with a mind that it's probably one of those great love story books that I usually love, but I ended the book with such awe because I truly saw the author's beautiful perspective and his thinking. While I expected to just read a great love story, I got something so much more than that. So Thank You John Green for an incredible book that I would read for a lifetime</span>"

Seeing as her and I shared a love for Hunger Games and others, I took her advice even though I thought I was maybe ""too old"" for it (I'm in my 30s).  I was hooked the minute I started reading this book.  I started it and finished it in one morning.  I could not put it down.  What I thought would happen did not, I was thrown for a loop.  I cried.  Being a parent of a young child, I felt like it touched me just as much as it would touch a person with an illness or a teenager.  I would recommend it without a hesitation.</span>"

The book is told by Hazel Grace 16 year old cancer patient as she explain herself she is a human grenade and she want to minimize the damage when she finally explodes, but can help to fall in love with Augustus Waters. The moments they live, the feelings they feel make this book a very honest novel in my opinion and although is a young adult fiction novel is a very mature insightful look into love and growing up.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R37XU6I3M4QA6E?ASIN=014242417X	a stunning novel	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I was looking for a book that would not only grab my attention but kept me hooked when my little sister recommended this novel. It not only do just that but it had exceeded my expectations way more then I ever thought it would!! Gave a very unique take on life  and brought all the elements a novel should have love, adventure, originality to their characters, and an unexpected twist to the plot. Although it was heart aching because I am a sensitive person and couldn't help but she'd some tears in the events that happened in the chapters I Loved loved loved the book!!!!! Great book to read for everyone.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3S2OVG3V3EF3E?ASIN=014242417X	Smart young love story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Not fully realizing this was a YA novel, I purchased The Fault in our Stars based on a review in EW.  I suppose I might not have read it if I had known this, but I am so very glad I did. A touching and smart love story with wonderful characters, there were some very real moments that momentarily stopped my heart. I shed a few tears, which led me to definitely see the movie emerging from the story. My only recurring thought (and perhaps problem) with the story was that these two teenagers sounded nothing like teenagers. They were far too witty and well read for 16 and 17, but you love them nonetheless.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3O2GDZCEDHFU4?ASIN=014242417X	The truth	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Thank you John green for writing such insightful fiction. Augustus met his match with Hazel. They found the truth and love in each other.  They were mature far beyond their teenage years.  I assume they have to grow up fast because their lives are finite.  They found strength in each other that enabled them to see through the B.S., even that of their parents.  They did not have the time.  They were even able to see through Peter Von Houghton, and call him on it.  I secretly hope that Peter`s going to face his demons and go to rehab.  The kids helped him see the truth he had been drowning for decades.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R208P377TNKACY?ASIN=014242417X	YA Lit at Its Best	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Fantastic, quick read. I read this over the course of three days. What I loved about this book is that it is a love story that is realistic, unlike many that we've seen in YA lit over the past decade or so. Hazel and Augustus are real kids fighting real problems and who fall in real love. This book has an Existentialist/nihilist undertone that separates it from other YA lit books I've read, and as an intellectual adult, I really loved this aspect. There are plenty of great, thought-provoking quotes; would make a great book to teach in a high school English class or a Children's/YA Lit college course.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RYE5LNQY4HP7L?ASIN=014242417X	The emotion of feeling	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Although sadness isn't something the average person is to fond of ""The fault in our Stars"" is not capable of pitying us this comfort of fairytales. It simply tells the solace truth of a girl with cancer. It doesn't hide or enhance things to make the story better. It does the exact opposite making it the 5 star rating it deserves. To those who don't like realism, I have to say I'm sorry. Because how can you read a book that shows you the real truth from day to day. When you yourself can't fathom it. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to feel raw emotion. And if you don't, good luck living life.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R151HJXY1O2189?ASIN=014242417X	"""Okay"" I laughed and cried so much"	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is so .... Just plain great! I have had family and friends affected by cancer, but it's a story that can relate to anyone with a disease or disorder that make them ""un normal"" from the outside looking in, but that doesn't make this book just for them, it actually makes this book so down to earth and so real, everyone should read it. Iwish that the author knew how much I appreciate and am inspired by his book to view life a little differently, thank you for having the courage and strength to put a little of your dear friend into this timeless story, that is sure to become a classic.</span>"

I don't like to cry so I had no intentions of ever reading this book or watching the movie but at the continued request of my 14 year old daughter I finally did and I must say I am very glad that I did. This book is not a book just to be enjoyed by teens but by anyone who has ever loved an any capacity. The love story between Hazel and Augustus is beautifully written but as a parent you can't help but realize the love story between the parents and their children. I absolutely love it!!!! Highly recommended!!!!</span>"

It's so unbelievable that I could get so attached to this book! This book is just amazing I don't regret buying it!<br/><br/>However,although the story mostly revolves around Hazel and Augustus, why doesn't anyone talk about Augustus and Isaac. About the love Isaac felt for his best friend. Isaac loved Augustus. He didn't care that he was blind because he didn't want to see the world without his best friend. Just thought I'd put that out there!<br/><br/>Anyway, I absolutely recommend this book to anyone! It's worth the purchase and the tears!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3U5R1RW710H09?ASIN=014242417X	side effects of reading this book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Story of teenagers with cancer, adapting to their conditions, coping with their disease. Very good dialogue between the teens, showing how fatal disease can re-define for teens what is important in life. I enjoyed the main character's critical examination of Mosley's hierarchy, the intellectual conversation between the teenagers, and the illustration of teenagers' ability to see through hypocrisy. I know that John Green is an adult, but his teenaged characters' abilities did not exceed reality. Worthwhile read for any generation. I read the book after my grandson, 15 years old, recommended it to me.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R26PENDU08V400?ASIN=014242417X	Not a bad read.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I picked this up because I love John Green's youtube vids.  It's not a bad book, but I wasn't impressed.<br/><br/>Basically, it's a cancer kid book.  The characters are very aware of the cancer kid cliches and point them out during the course of the book.  Then it doesn't really end up doing anything different than the usual expected cliches.<br/><br/>The characters are all likeable and it's solidly written.  So if you really like books about people with fatal diseases/illnesses, this is an excellent one of the genre.  It's just not anything special and I really don't get the big to do about it.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1DSBEIUHK2H6B?ASIN=014242417X	Where to begin...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I have a love/hate relationship with this book. I loved absolutely everything about it but was completely not prepared for it all at once. You definitely need tissues for this one and that is the reason i hated it. I hate crying but this book, no matter how hard you try, will leave you blubbering like a two year old. The author of this book is completely brilliant and has a way with words like no other author I've ever read has, and that's saying something because I read a lot. This is the best book I've read in a long time and I'm very glad I read it when I did. Now seriously, where is the sequel?</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RZ7PD6RZODIN4?ASIN=014242417X	A love story meant to last forever	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">It's a beautiful love story that is designed to teach us what real love is. It also allows us to peak of what Cancer really is and how the families are affected; and how a love can transcend. This book is more than a star-crossed lovers, another teen plot, it actually teaches us how to live. Dying in itself is living.<br/><br/>The way the characters are being molded will touch hearts and the witty dialogues is as bit as entertaining as the entire plot.<br/><br/>A MUST READ BOOK! I finish this in one sitting, I wouldn't know if I should laugh or cry... but definitely a book that I would treasure</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3W07GNFBJ3I89?ASIN=014242417X	Magnificent	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I didn't imagine I could care for such characters as these. Hazel shows you that you don't need to be heroic. and Augustus shows you that no matter what's wrong, you fight for what's right. in the beginning, I thought that she wouldn't let him in. In the middle of it, I was truly in love with Augustus waters myself. and by the end, I was balling my eyes out. I read this book until 5am. with school the next day. all that I can say is that this could not have been better written. And my life if better everyday because I have read it. I feel like now I can turkey appreciate life. Thank you John Green.</span>"

Out of all those books this one is the most unique,most special,most touching,and most emotional. Everything about this book was perfect. It's one of the very few books I've read that are just like the movie. The love story between Hazel and Augustus is like no other love story. It's one of the very few books that I could read over again and not get bored with it.<br/>To anyone who hasn't read this book I highly suggest to you to read. It's a great love story with a few laughs and a lot of tears. It definitely deserves the 5 star rating. John Green did wonderful once again.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">At first I didn't want to read this book just because it was a popular movie but decided to give it a go. Having watched a family member survive cancer, I felt like this book spoke to me in many way. The reality that cancer is not who we are but makes up who we are at certain time was enormous! That statistics suck and percentages are just as cruel as cancer makes you think that every day is a guess and meant to be lived as our best life.. Thank you to the author for an amazing voyage into the hearts and minds of those with cancer! This book is well worth the read! Well written! And gets it right!</span>"

I know it sounds bad, but I was thrilled when a student came to me in tears; a fictional story had made her cry!  ""Yes!"" I said, ""that's how a good book can make you feel.  You care about what happens to the characters; you become a part of their world.""  This student emotional reaction piqued the interest of many others, thus I had a classroom full of readers.  If course, that meant I had to read it myself.  Thank you, Mr. Green, for bringing ""realistic"" characters to life for adolescents.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R4ZXEQDV8KLF1?ASIN=014242417X	Make Time to Read This	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I was making time to read this book. The main characters, teenagers Hazel and Augustus, meet at a cancer support group.The rawness and depth of their teenage angst is believable, but not about the typical teenage woes of school and their social lives.  Hazel and Augustus have to face some serious stuff and do not relate well with their former teenage friends and peers.<br/><br/>Hazel and Augustus bond over Hazel's favorite book that does not end satisfactorily to either of them. Together they plot to meet the mysterious author to find out what happens. The journey is a great and satisfying read.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3S6OD37GALTHH?ASIN=014242417X	For a Lack of a Better Word, Woah.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">John Green has become one of my new favorite writers. I love books, and get unhealthily attached to characters, but I'm not that kind of person who cries when they die. Admittedly, I was upset when people like Rue and Tris died, but I didn't cry. I don't cry over books. However, I bawled and cried and sobbed and shook when it came to Augustus's death. The Fault in Our Stars is an amazingly, incredibly written book by an author incomparable to any word in any language the earth has ever known. I will forever love this absolute work of art, for Augustus, you HAVE made the ultimate mark on the world.</span>"

I do believe this is one of the most romantic, most tragic, and one of the best books ever written. And so thought Hazel. She believed that An Imperial Affliction was the best story ever, though it was aged and very unknown. In the future, I hope the same does not happen to TFIOS; become old and forgotten. But, in the next 30-50 years, it is likely to happen. And then, like all others like me who adore this book will feel like young Hazel.<br/>  A fan you'll never know,<br/>  Mason Nettles</span>"

I finished the book yesterday and I'm still lost for words. TFIOS made me laugh out loud (on public transportation!!) then it broke my heart and made me cry (also on public transportation!!) You know a book is fantastic when you're so engrossed in it that you're laughing out loud and crying on the Metro. ""I fell in love the way you fall asleep: slowly, and then all at once."" YES! But with the book and the characters. I fell in love and I laughed and then I had my heartbroken and put back together just a little. I'm telling everyone about this book.

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3H4JCPHAZ4GBD?ASIN=014242417X	There are no stars!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I found this story to be very sad and depressing. Although some of the characters seemed to ""shine"" the overall atmosphere was one of gloom. I was disappointed in several of the adult characters and their reactions to the daily struggles of the young patients in the story. Perhaps I am too much of an optomist but I prefer to emphasize the positive. The glass can be viewed as half full sometimes and not always half empty! Death is a major player in this story and the young characters seem to acknowledge it, however, the adults seem to be holding the half empty glasses! Very sad, realistic?</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3QXB92T2PB2JQ?ASIN=014242417X	Utterly Perfect	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I avoided reading this book for some time. Everyone told me it was sad and I mean, after reading what it's about I think it's impossible for the book to not be sad. Everyone told me the book was outstanding so I figured, being a reader, I should just read the book in a day before the movie comes out. So that is precisely what I did on this beautiful day. I cry at everything and this book made me ball. But it was beautifully written and, without spoiling to much, the love Augustus and Hazel Grace share is perfect and all I want in life is my own Gus and to have a forever within the numbered days.</span>"

We both purchased the book, she purchased a hard cover book from Barnes and Noble and I purchased it electronically.  We started on Saturday and we finished Sunday before going to church.  I know I'm thankful for the children I have and the life lead  .  Thank you John Green for sharing your story with my daughter and I.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">When  I seen the movie it got me interested into reading the book. As a fellow cancer survivor from retinoblastoma as one of the characters in the book as I impressed by how the author made the description of that character. The book and the movie helps each other out in a way for m. It glued things together as well get a full idea what the character looks like in memory. This is one of those books that shows that not all fairy tales with love end in a happy ending. I was impressed by this author that I also bought two other books by him. I would definitely recommend this book to other people.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1MLP1OHK2RRC0?ASIN=014242417X	John Green strikes home again	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">A truly heart wrenching book for those of all ages. John Green uses his amazing grasp of teen literature to tell you a beautiful tale that is written so elegantly. The only reason I don't give it five stars is because it's hard for me to give any book five stars being that I'm always a little critical and I did find that some parts in the middle tended to drag on a little. But on the whole, beautiful characters, amazing story inspired by a real person, and a pretty quick read that will leave you wanting to pick up other Green books and definitely send you to the theatres to check out the movie</span>"

That same night I read until 11:45, unable to tear my eyes away from the beautiful literature.  TFIOS is a well-written, funny, and heart-wrenching novel.  If you ever find yourself in need of something to read, I STRONGLY recommend this book.  That Monday I had to decline my friend's copy seeing as I had already finished reading the book.

Normally I would have recommended this book to anyone, but like Hazel said there are some books that you want to hide inside of you and shelter it just your little secret. But technically that's not fair to the rest of the universe. So in conclusion this book is an amazing work of art and you should read this because no matter who you are, this book will connect with your soul and leave an impact on you and the way you view the world. I wish I could say more but I think you should read/experience it for yourself. Then you can decide on your opinion.<br/>-Edie<br/>age 13</span>"

I loved the real and relate-able characters, the banter, and the friendship and love that Hazel Grace and Gus shared despite of what they had been dealt in life--their look on life and suffering was an encouragement to me, a motivation to make every day my best day. I totally hated this book because of the realness of their story, their pain and suffering, and the loss that was all throughout this book. The Fault in Our Stars made me cry, made me feel, made me think, and made me want to go back and reread it right away.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RAGFHEKYCCK94?ASIN=014242417X	It was at times very real and beautiful, and others very annoying and childish	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">For a book targeted at young adults, TFIOS is very well written and poignant. I have to admit that I found Hazel's cynicism refreshing and delightful, after all being diagnosed with terminal cancer would realistically induce such cynicism. The first person narrative, however, got a bit grating when written from the perspective of a high schooler. It was at times very real and beautiful, and others very annoying and childish. I would say that I would not reccommend the narrative for an older reader without first warning them of that. Otherwise, it was a quick read, and relatively entertaining.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R25BIHX39NZ0IP?ASIN=014242417X	Better that anticipated	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">A formal review of this book after 16K reviews seems more like a needle in a haystack.  That said, tossing in a few thoughts for those who are unsure if they should read this or not.  For some reason I held off reading this book for a couple of years thinking I did not want to read a teen love story born by cancer. Although the story  is predictable, the characters are interesting, warm, and quite funny. Mr. Green develops the characters in a way that the reader can see personal similarities (be it teenage agnst, the bond of parent and child, or the selflessness of love). This is a good read.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RTXS6JAMIH44H?ASIN=014242417X	Have kleenex close at hand	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Although this is listed under young adult I would recommend this book for anyone.  It definitely was a book I couldn't put down.  This book is the ""Death be Not Proud"" for the current generation.  Cancer is a terrible disease but when we see the face of those who live with the illness, treatment, and failure of such, along with their families it is even worse.  This book also shows some of the blessings for terminal cancer patients.<br/><br/>Even though there is no happy ending the love story in this book and how it brings families together is timeless.  I consider this a must read!</span>"

I finally purchased the Kindle and audio versions after reading a review that proclaimed, ""Not a book about DEATH, but a book about LIFE!!""  This is certainly true. So much humor, so much brightness, so much life.  And of course, loss, grief, and passion, as expected.  Absolutely a pleasure to experience this novel.<br/><br/>And a special note of gratitude for the author, who goes out his way to explain his mindset behind his fiction, and speaking out about the proper way to treat those with an imperial affliction.</span>"

I would not call it crying like most have described the action they have pursued to have been but possibly the most touching and inspiring novel that I have read. I have read this entire book in 3 days time and enjoyed every passing moment, also one must focus hard on staying on task with the comprehension, for the fact that the medical terms and word usage is incredible. One must also remember that you put the killing in between your teeth. But you don't give it the power to kill you and that I am a roller coaster that only goes up my friend</span>"

It is well written and from a very fresh perspective. I have been involved in the care of children with Cancer and this is as close as I have ever seen a novel come to reality.<br/>The characters are well drawn and the plot moves along quickly.  Although it is about children with cancer the book is not all darkness and doom.<br/>I do feel the plot, at times,  was a bit contrived and some of the twists either predictable or over the top but the basic story and the writing is worth overlooking this.</span>"

Is every cancer story like this. It gives young readers the sense that cancer is nothing but a love story that will die out with you in the grave. This is an amazing book and I enjoyed every cheesy metaphor and quote in it, I shed tears, I laughed and smiled. I recommend this book for everyone and do believe it was truly outstanding. I am sad however because I'm not allowed in the movie because it is 15+. I will watch it online though or wear tall heals and portray myself as 15 years old.<br/><br/>Critique</span>"

I was hesitant to read it initially, because I wasn't sure if I wanted to read a story involving such sad circumstances. John Green created these amazing characters however that help you forget the gravity of their situation, even whilst being constantly reminded of it. I laughed out loud, I teared up, and I found myself wanting to be more like Hazel and Augustus. Their wit and humor and sense of wonder was extremely pleasing to read. I think I'll have to buy this is hardback so I can read it as much as they read AIA.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3DVB1WZSXUS6V?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">A raw, well written glimpse into the lives of teenage cancer patients. I wasn't prepared for the emotional maturity of Hazel Grace and Augustus, but in learning about them through the book and reading other reviews; many from teenage cancer patients and survivors themselves, I look at these extraordinary young people with new respect.<br/><br/>I didn't read this when it first came out-I haven't watched the movie made from this book.<br/><br/>I did read it in one day, with a couple of breaks.<br/><br/>It gave me a new insight, and I've learned from reading it.<br/>Highly recommended.</span>"

I am both happy and surprised to say that this is one of my new favorite books and I think that I may just be forever changed by it. The Fault in Our Stars was a privilege to read. John Green wrote a story that BROKE MY HEART and I will happily read it again. Amazing!!!!! Beautiful!!!!!!!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RYJWA3558W727?ASIN=014242417X	The fault  in our stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was a book of no boundaries. When I thought things could get worse, they did. When I thought things could get better, they did. The fault in our stars connected to me in a way no other book has before. If time write a sequel. Phenomenal book and I'd recommend this to ANYBODY trying to find the perfect book. I felt this book deep down in my soul. I felt deep sympathy for Hazel, as well Gus. I can't explain further as the book caught my breath and made me think about life ahead. In a situation of my own relating to this but no dying or cancer situation. Thank you for writing, Kelly</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RS4Q0KEAQ509F?ASIN=014242417X	Dear Lord, what have I gotten myself into...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I have never cried over a book. In many ways, I am far too logical to experience deep, meaningful emotions over fictional characters. Reading does touch me, but never enough to trigger a physical response such as tears. This book is so far the ONLY exception to that statement. John Green is maybe one of the most intelligent authors in the century. Or one the most evil of terrorist of the century, ripping tears out of our eyes, one H2O molecule at a time. I'm still having trouble deciding.<br/>Thank you John Green for hacking my systems and reprogramming my tear ducts. And also curse you.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3FOLNOQ8V0NYT?ASIN=014242417X	must read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Finally got around to reading this (prodded by the fact that I want to see the movie). Well-written, smart, funny, heart-wrenching book about teenagers and their families dealing with fear, love, and loss. There were many take-away ""a-ha"" moments re: dealing with serious health problems - both as the sick person and as the caretaker. This story has several unique and delightful twists such as a story within a story and a role-reversal. This is truly a ""must read"" book. I know I will use some lessons learned here later in my life. May even re-read it - something I never do.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2R1WPHUEZMNDO?ASIN=014242417X	Thank you for being you John Green!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I've got to say, at first, I was a bit skeptical of the book. Being the 13 year old that I am, I thought people were going to judge me for sitting down and reading a book instead of texting them back. But as time passed, more and more of my freinds started reading the book, so I gave it a try. And my God, this is by far, one of his best pieces. But my thoughts about this wonderful piece of art, are stars I just cannot fathom into constellations. So while oblivion continues to be inevitiable, I'm going to go outlive 4 bastards. I mean, that's what dear ol' John Green would me to do, right?</span>"

While reading you fall in love with the characters, wish desperately for happier endings and for things to be different. However, if story was compromised in such a way it wouldn't be believable, you wouldn't sob uncontrollably like I was as everything deteriorated between Augustus and Hazel due to unfortunate odds and circumstances. The story stays with you because of the truth behind it and how it connects on a deeper level trying to talk about death and comfort people on the topic of love lost.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault In Our Stars is a brilliant novel. The heart stopping story of to lovers as you may recall, Hazel Grace and Augustus Waters. This story is portrayed beautifully. The story consists of the rather typical lovestory but it is written so beautifully it is like no other.<br/><br/>Now. the story is about a girl named Hazel Grace who has thyroid cancer and Augustus Waters who had ostrasacoma. They fall in love over a period of time. They go through quite a lot I would have to say. In the end... well I wouldn't be able to tell you because that would be ruining the book, now would it.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3EBOQNRX09YIN?ASIN=014242417X	The Book I Will Reread My Entire Life	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is written in a way that if you were to read it only once you would forget how funny and beautiful the characters truly are. You'd forget the little moments that made this love story really of epic proportions because this is my An Imperial Affliction. I want to know what happens to Hazel but I know that not knowing is so much better for me. For if I knew how and when Hazel died, I believe that the story wouldn't have left as large of an imprint. I wouldn't be laying here imagining a beautiful end to an extraordinary character, I would know already. And there is no fun in that.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RGIEHKKBIHWU8?ASIN=014242417X	A Mind Changing Book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">It is a book that gets into the very core of your being.  Two sixteen year olds with cancer meet and hurry to fall in love.  Time is of the essence.  Amazingly, John Green treats death as a reality.  It doesn't get in the way of living.  The  reader can truly embrace Hazel and Augustus as they find each other in the midst of their own suffering.  Love minimizes their  pain.  The support group concept enlarges the circle.  We are all part of the group since cancer ""like a flower grows""  amongst all of us who have lost loved ones.  Like Hazel, I long for the sequel.  The book is brilliant.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R39VYLDDISYXET?ASIN=014242417X	This book was funny. The characters were funny	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was funny. The characters were funny. The book made me realize a lot of difficulties  that people with cancer have. Also how close family's are. It is a funny romantic novel when a girl meets a boy. The boy meets the girl and they fall in love.They go on a trip. Then the boy confesses that his cancer came back. Then the boy dies of cancer. That is pretty much it. It might seem like a boring book. But I read this book and its one of my all time favorite books. In this book you will like the character and then you will hate the character again. Its a love hate relationship book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RNMZI7J4YXTAL?ASIN=014242417X	The most amazing story ever	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book has changed my life. I am not special or important but now I don't have to be. Hazel and Gus have changed my life forever. I am still crying over this story but it fits my life perfectly. I don't have cancer, just anxiety. But now I'm not afraid to live. Now I feel like I can change from being a terrible person to being extraordinarily me. John Green takes the human soul and puts it into words every heart can understand. He is my van Houten. I will never forget this book as long as I live nor after I die. There is fault in our stars but maybe the greater fault is not being us.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1JD7FYMPS9FWA?ASIN=014242417X	Best, most amazing book of all time	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Other authors have their work cut out for the. The Fault In Our Stars is THE most heart warming, heart breaking, amazing book I have ever read. And this is coming from a girl who has read a little more than half of the public library and is an experienced book critic. Augustus Waters and Hazel Grace Lancaster are my two favorite fictional book characters ever. Their chemistry in this book was breath taking, and I want to reread this over and over and over again. On a scale of one to ten, this book is an eleven. It will no doubt become a literary classic to be enjoyed time and time again</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R16Q10Q7X1JT0E?ASIN=014242417X	one of my favorite books	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">One of my favorite books. The characters develope a lot through out the book. especially gus, who goes from wanting to be remembered forever by everyone to happily be remembered by the people he loved for as long as they will be lucky enough to live. the ironic part about about this, I have a feeling gus and hazel will be remembered for a pretty long time. I know for a fact that when my future kids will be old enough they will read this book. This book includes so many inspiring quotes and people. and john green is a genius for thinking of putting a story inside the main story. amazing.</span>"

I love how even when Augustus dies, she still loves him but not in that, "" OMG I will never be happy again, so I will just go mope around for the rest of my life"" way, but the ""I love you even though we didn't have each other for a very long time, and we completely understand each other"" kind of way...<br/><br/>I love all of the characters and what they mean in this story.<br/><br/>I love the theme of this story and how it is about the life of kids with cancer.

2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3K4TON03XRRJX?ASIN=014242417X	Truly Amazing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Honestly, i would recommend this book to anyone. Let me tell you this, its a young love story about two cancer characters, Agustus and Hazel, and just the love they have for each other is truly inspirational. This book (in my opinion) is for anyone any age. This book was so good that i finished it in 3 hours, you cannot put is down. This book comes across beautifully the struggles people have dealing with cancer along with a sense of humor and romance. It is an extremely good book and I could read it over and over again and not get sick of it, just like Hazel and An Imperial Affliction.</span>"

May I come to visit you and you can tell me what happened to these two characters. I promise not to tell anyone.<br/><br/>Yes, Mr. Green, very clever indeed.

I already knew that I wanted to see the movie, but I had no idea what the book was about. I find myself wanting to  picture the characters as I would imagine before seeing  them portrayed by others for me. I am now more than ever wanting to see Hazel G and Augustus brought to life on screen. The author through his writing and details gave me a view<br/>of cancer in a way I have  never experienced, through a teenagers eyes. How sad to be so young with so much life ahead and facing death.This book made me look at my life blessings and appreciate them all the more.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1ZOSDPKQE4A7L?ASIN=014242417X	Left me crying, laughing and smiling in amazement!!!!!!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in our Stars was an amazing book full of humor romance and tragedy. I gave this book five stars because it was a book that in some parts I couldn't stop laughing and in some parts I couldn't stop crying! The books that have a variety of emotions I tend to love the most. I just adored Hazel and Augustus because of their personalities, Hazel was a humorous and loveable girl, while Augustus was an optimistic, outgoing boy. The two of them stole my heart in an instant. John Green has done an amazing price of writing and I wish the whole world could experience this wonderful book.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1HRYQWMKG0LRK?ASIN=014242417X	The Tears in Our Eyes	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">At first, I did not read this book, reason being that I would only read it because everyone else was talking about it. I finally succumbed after learning that the author was famous YouTuber and Vlogger John Green. I saw one of his vloggs titled, reading chapter one of the fault in our stars. I immediately was intrigued after watching the full video, and proceeded to purchase the book at 1:30am and finish it at 5:30am. Let me just say, it made me so emotional, even while already knowing the ending after hearing people talk about it. It is truly an amazing story, and I honestly loved it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R9PPSLHG8615O?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault In Our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">My daughter asked me to read this book. She herself had just finished it the night before. She said it was so good that she couldn't put it down.<br/><br/>So I agreed to read what I believed to be a teenager's book. At first it didn't do it for me. I kept reading because I said I would. well the characters came to life. I grew to Cate for them and their outcomes. This book made me laugh and also brought me to sobbing tears. So much so I had to put it down to compose myself before I could go on. Not a ""teenager's book"". A book about young love, life, loss and death. Perfectly written.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1C3YPYILKMW5O?ASIN=014242417X	Extraordinary	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I could read this story over and over again. It was a very different book then you'd usually find. Hazel (the narrator) was a completely normal teenager with normal wants, but cancer was in her way. I could barley put it down since I laid my eyes on the very first word on the first page. When I found out that John Green was the author, I was surprised. I saw him doing his ""Crash Course World History"" youtube show during English class and he was comedic, and while I was reading the book I pictured someone like Shakespeare writing it. I strongly advise you to read this spectacular book.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RHIQ56EF6XKBD?ASIN=014242417X	Wonderful Book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was a wonderful read.  I suppose I was one a few that did not cry.  I laughed at some of the scenes, but most of all, I was happy for each of the characters.  I believe that they really were learning and understanding the reason for living.  They all seemed to find a purpose or meaning in life.  They were not selfish.  They were caring, understanding, comical, and loving.  They found a way to look at life not as just a sad existence with a sickness, but they looked beyond the disease and found each other.  They tried to help others around them see beyond the disease as well.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2WR3K0D22K9E8?ASIN=014242417X	Intellectually refreshing love story with a twist	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Green's characters are actually bright and witty,and the relationship between Hazel and Augustus was endearing and unique.  The piece about the illness is based on a friend of the author's family and adds a reality that is simultaneously poignant and heart-wrenching. The most impactful aspect to the story is the doomed relationship of Hazel and Augustus.  The honesty, humor and philosophy built into Green's writing are brilliant.  Read it.  Then, see the film.  Apparently, Green would not accept anything less than a movie that followed his story's script-- and the film does just that.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3ROMD7QQV82TG?ASIN=014242417X	Juvenile Love Story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I guess I was expecting more.  There were scenes that were very moving and clearly the work is intended for the romantic in all of us.  Vague descriptions of ascending to a higher love (even within a holocaust setting) which then only resulted in ""Ruins"" were  not fully explained.  There were confusing and disparaging remarks concerning encouragement and Christianity which only marred the overall feel to one of juvenile narrow-focused hopelessness.  If you liked Love Story, you'll love this book.  I didn't like Love Story.  ""Life begets life begets life begets life...""</span>"

The last few chapters are mostly serious.<br/><br/>My only complaint is that it got corny a few times and it is meant to pull at your heartstrings.<br/><br/>Overall, it is an entertaining, thoughtful read.</span>"

It was for sure very funny, sad, and heartbreaking. The relationship between Hazel and Augustus is so strong which makes the book so great. Each character was created so uniquely, and really embrace the best in each other. This book is a beautiful tragedy, while at times it’s funny, yet sad as well. It was hard to put the book down, and is worth reading again. The Fault in Our Stars is highly well written.

I know that a lot of people are finally getting into John Green's work because of the movie that just came out. I am so glad that he is getting the recognition that he deserves! This book will definitely take you for an emotional ride and you won't want to put it down! My boyfriend and I both read the book a while back and then purchased this for my younger sister as a summer reading present. She read it in exactly one day, which is definitely saying something :). This is one of those books that you will love and end up recommending to everyone; buy it!</span>"

But it is still so much more than worth the read. It tears holes in your heart at the same time that it stitches them together, piecing a quilt of despair and new points of view in its wake. It feels as though these people are real, as though you will never forget them...and I'm sure you never will. While the characters come and go, they leave marks on you, in your memory, that cannot be erased. Raw and powerful, you will fall in love with these two people. I guarantee it.</span>"

A beautiful life-changing scar I will not soon forget. When reading this book I would smile to myself, giggle, and feel the love for each other that Hazel and Augustus had. And also I cried feeling the great loss of someone who merely exists on pages in a book, but it felt so real. So heartbreakingly unbearable. I love this book. It is more than wonderful. It will change the way you see things. It will change you, even if in the smallest ways. It will change you. I can only thank the author for sharing something so, more than wonderful.</span>"

It's well written, which takes away from the sap and very well rounded, and I enjoyed Hazel and Gus' relationship. I found myself caring for the characters and also enjoying the bitter sweetness of the tone. Overall, it was a nice read which left me quite sad and touched- in a good way.</span>"

Once you start you can't put it down. You demand to know what happens at the end of each chapter.  (I'm a citizen of Indianapolis , and it's very refreshing to find locations of places that are in Indianapolis.) You become so emotionally attached to this book as you read it. It feels like you're Hazel Lancaster experiencing the the good and the bad moments that go along in her life. Before I read this book I knew that it would be good , but now that I've read it I think it's truly amazing , creative , and unforgettable.  :)</span>"

I started and finished it in one night, I couldn't put it down! This is one of the few books that hasn't been spoiled for me by my friends and I'm glad they didn't! It will pull on your heart strings like no others. I don't think I've cried this hard reading a book since Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince! Cant wait to check out John Green's other books. Probably not for younger readers, the content is fairly mature (not too sexualized, but the theme might be too heavy for them) carry tissues while reading!</span>"

Must say, I was a bit surprised it was recommended for someone her age, due to content but teens are certainly more informed today than when I was 14!  I felt it was an excellent book, with important content, especially since younger people are reading it. As a RN, I was impressed with the accuracy of medical facts.  By no means is this a ""teen read"" only, in fact only a mature teen should consider this book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1M9YVI6SFITAZ?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing and beautiful romance	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is so amazing and wonderful! It would appeal to those who enjoy romance and a little bit of comedy. People who prefer mysteries, action books, and thrillers May not enjoy this one to much! I can honestly say buying this book was the best $7.59 I have ever spent. The Fault in our Stars is a truly extraordinary novel! I would recommend this novel to ages 11 and older because it has a lot of language and a little bit of romance. Not everyone will understand the vocabulary, also. Overall, this is one of the best books I have ever read! (P.S THIS BOOK INVOLVES A LOT OF TEARS!)</span>"

The story is one that I think can spur important conversations among young people and that is truly the best mark any book can have on the world.</span>"

The book was meant to be an air plane book. The kind you at the beginning on your vacation then again at the end. Well it's day one of vacation ans  done.

It's an emotional roller coaster ride that makes you laugh and makes you cry. It also gives you hope and then makes you mad that it didn't end the way you wanted it to. But also makes you realize that this is how life works and it's not a perfect life. It was raw and real and I wish it hadn't ended. Because just how they never got the real ending to AIA I feel like we will never truly get an ending to this book. But that just means we can make our own.

As John Green describes so well; friends, family, those who before were so close, so intimate become distant and seemed fearful that they will be exposed. Recently diagnosed with chronic leukemia, I have spent too much time worrying about it turning to something more aggressive. AUGUSTUS has inspired me to notice the universe and all it's beauty &amp; complexities. Thus giving me a new, whole, brighter, expectations of possibilities to explore.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3G36STDLJQHUM?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault is in Our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I can see why this is a best seller. It's such a moving book about a subject that is so painful for all involved. The two teen-agers battling cancer is so real. Their voices speak to us as  authentic. I read where the author had worked in a cancer ward and he has certainly taken us on his journey..  I was weeping for Gus, Hazel, for their parents and friends for all who walked with them.I enjoyed their saving humor. They made fun of the support group, maybe they had to as a defense, because I see support groups as "" ports in the storm"". It's a book I will want to reread..</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R34LRZELPASJ39?ASIN=014242417X	It was amazing.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I chose this rating because this book truly deserved it. It was just truly amazing and worth time reading. All of the characters were well thought out. Augustus Waters and Hazel Grace Lancaster weren't just two kids that had cancer and fell in love they were so much more than that. Every single detail about their relationship was interesting and enjoyable. Unlike most books I read I do not wish this one had a sequel because I do not understand how Hazel could go on living without Gus. I am perfectly satisfied with the book itself and look forward to reading more John Green books.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1N61PKUWR3W2T?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I chose this book because I saw someone on instagram take a picture of it and me being the person always looking for a new book looked it up and decided to give it a try. I was not disappointed! This book captured me so much. The story line was fantastic. I loved how raw and honest the teenage girl was throughout the whole book. After I finished the book (in about 36hrs) I found myself wondering what happened to the characters. Who cares that the story revolves around a book and author that aren't real....you're missing the whole point if that's what you take away from this book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R11OHBTOIZ5UOK?ASIN=014242417X	After one day's worth of reading....	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">As far as books go, I'm fairly used to reading longer books (500+ pages). This book, on the kindle, is only 300 pages or so long. The amount of life-altering lessons an author can fit into only 300 pages baffles me. The first chapter alone made me stop and think about my own life in ways I've never thought or considered before. I give this book a 5-star rating because even if you hate the plot or hate the characters, the author manages to teach the reader something as they read the book, rather than trying to be remembered by the universe. Kudos, John. You are an intelligent man.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2NR1QD1X0XD7T?ASIN=014242417X	Read. This. Book.  ...Now	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I've already read this twice and recommended it to anyone who will listen. If you've ever experienced a loved one going through a serious illness, this YA novel just speaks to you regardless of your age. While I can see why this would speak to YA's in particular, I strongly recommend it to adults-especially those with kids. These characters were some of the most real I've read in a very long time. Certainly the best book I've read in many years as well. It captured a lot of the reality of terrible situations and portrays both the teens and adult characters with depth and empathy.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R148KLHTT28B6A?ASIN=014242417X	Heart Warming	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is a story of the relationship between 3 teenagers (Hazel, Augustus,&amp; Isaac) that meet in Cancer Supper Group. Each of their stories are intriguing, insightful , as well as inspiring! They deal with their cancers in such a head on fashion &amp; with attitude that only teenagers could!!<br/>I thought this book was going to be hard to read due to the topic but I and most of the ladies in our reading group couldn't put it down! I was especially impressed that the author was able to write the story from a teenage girl's point of view so effectively. This book made me laugh and cry!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2IKIOEGQ3F6V3?ASIN=014242417X	A book for all ages	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is a great read for people of all ages.  I just finished it and couldn't have read it at a worse time in my personal life- I recently lost a close family member to cancer.  Despite that, I loved the book and would recommend it to anyone.  I love how witty and smart these teenagers are and how mature they are about life and death.  My niece who is in 6th grade also read it and squealed when I told her I was reading it and said it was the most awesomest book ever and that I would ball my eyes out (I surprisingly didn't cry). Anyway, I loved it and recommend it to anyone.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R14QABGW16AKL9?ASIN=014242417X	Super Awsome	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I love books ,but I can handle the end,no matter how hard I tried I will cry. Even if it is no something the normal person wouldn't cry about. If any of you want to read this book I would highly recommend it.<br/>  I will warn you that you will need an extra absorbent Kleenex for this book, no matter how hard you try to suck it up. I think this book really touches the hearts of everyone who has read it(I am just guessing). I would also like to say that if you do read this book let yourself be the character instead of just analyzing it. The book really deserves to be remembered.</span>"

We'll let me give you a hint... Scroll up to the top hit the Button that let's you buy the book then read the rest of this review. The fault in our stars is like Divergent, it just changes you in a way that is indescribable but the best feeling from a book they you'll ever have. Hazel and Augustus are just Two characters that will change the way you look at the world. The only thing I don't like about it is that it ends like the end of the book that is in this book, I know that sounds confusing but trust me. JUST READ IT!</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3PY482VQS2G7T?ASIN=014242417X	It's easy to fall in love	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">It's easy to fall in love with a book. The characters, the plot, and the words themselves. The Fault in Our Stars is beautifully written, the realistic situation and heart breaking circumstances create a must read novel. Green takes a fragile subject and makes it universal, causing the reader to rethink every decision they've ever made. The love Augustus and Hazel share is unlike any other you will ever read. It is impossible not to fall in love with the negative that Green has written into a positive. You will laugh. You will think. You will cry. But for all the right reasons.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1RJ56Z6BY3US8?ASIN=014242417X	A good reminder of what life is	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Yes, the book is not a perfect and excruciating account of children's battle with cancer.<br/>The Fault in our Stars tells the gentle love story of 2 terminal teenagers as they live out their last years. I started liking the book towards the end because it served as a reminder of how precious life is and how we have to be thankful for how healthy we are.<br/>If you want a careful diary of a cancer patient, then this book is not for you. People who bash this book for not being realistic should know what to expect.<br/>A definite read if you want to celebrate the gift of life.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2QXE35GZV7JYB?ASIN=014242417X	Not bad	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">In my defense, I did not realize that this book had been made into a movie that is currently showing in theaters.  I bought the book because the price was right and the reviews were favorable.  The plot is predictable, but it is nevertheless a very moving and engaging read.  The protagonist is a teenage girl with terminal cancer, and I thought that the author created a very believable female teenage voice.  After finishing this novel (which I stayed up half the night to do because I couldn't stop reading), I immediately started planning a trip that I had always wanted to take.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R5JDJO8XUX68D?ASIN=014242417X	The Book That Made Me Want To Read YA Fiction Again	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Wow!! Mr. Green has quite a gift. I'd pretty much given up on the YA genre a few years ago. Reading this emotionally powerful book has made me want to return to YA fiction. His characters and story were crafted in such a way that they felt real. And by doing that, it made me feel like I was part of the story. I felt what they felt. Anger, sadness, the happiness of love. And the raw pain that can only come with loss. Yes, you will cry, but I recommend you read this book, because it really is one of the best. Even if you must keep tissues within reach at all times. I know I did.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3DD30YEXLK0IL?ASIN=014242417X	I just didn't like it.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I tried to get through this book. I really did. But I found the characters so unbelievable and pretentious that I just couldn't do it. I found myself skipping through parts of the book because I just couldn't deal with them. And no, I have nothing against people with cancer or anything like that. These characters didn't act like teens; they acted like 25 year old hipsters. I wanted to like it, but...oh well.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3AKF83LRPUFF2?ASIN=014242417X	This book has made me think differently about having cancer ...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book has made me think differently about having cancer.  I really appreciated the line Augustus says about the cancer is me.  Everyone who has ever know anyone with cancer or who may ever have cancer or who has ever been a teenager ought to read this book.  One should also read Shakespeare's JULIUS CAESAR to appreciate the title which comes from Cassius's comment to Brutus, ""The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars but in ourselves that we are underlings.""  Gus and Hazel's attitude about life is the real them; the fault for the cancer is really in their stars.</span>"
1.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R17FHJ5FIH4TMH?ASIN=014242417X	dream snatching ending and I'm literally laying in bed curled on my side sobbing like I lost my own loved one	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book needs to be sold with a box of tissues. I couldn't put the book down. I finished it in less than 12 hours. I barely stopped for food let alone bathroom breaks. It was probably 2am when I was reading the last few chapters where it gets to the heartbreaking, soul crushing, dream snatching ending and I'm literally laying in bed curled on my side sobbing like I lost my own loved one. No author has ever ripped my heart out and served it to me on a silver platter like the talented John Green.<br/><br/>If you too wish to feel this way, I would highly recommend this book!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RO27H88FL3V1D?ASIN=014242417X	One of the best love stories I've read in a long time!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I don't normally bother to write a review on here unless the book is exceptionally good or horrible bad.  This book however was one of the best love stories I've read in a long time and I do not usually enjoy reading love stories unless there is a murder mystery involved in the story line somehow.  You can't help but fall in love with characters and feel like you are part of the story.  The descriptions make you feel like you are right there in the book walking along side them.  I laughed and I cried and they went on their journey.  You would not be disappointed by this book!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R18REVMTPM3AM3?ASIN=014242417X	The best book I have read!!!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars is a book I would read over and over again. This book is a sad love story that you wish would have<br/>never ended. I read this book in 5 days and I'm not a girl that likes to read. I recommend this book for teenagers that are interested in a love story but this book isn't just about love so guys you 're free to read it!! The good thing about this book is that a movie is coming out on June 6, 2014!!!  So if you aren't a reader then you could just watch the movie I guess. But I do recommend the book! I know that you will love the book just like I did!!!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1JERV1IIMSBBZ?ASIN=014242417X	This recommended by my 16 year old daughter	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Although quintessentially about the realities of cancer and its effects and ravages of the nuclear family..and the body; it was also a foray into loves first tentative grasp onto 2 very sick teens. Sad? Yes. But, also inspiring in its newness and awkwardness. Mere words actually don't do it any justice. Moreover, I totally understand why it appealed to my teen who herself is consciously aware of her mark on this tiny island of love I built for her. She has not been fully actualized but it headed life first into its shaky grasp. I love her for that, and recommending this book.</span>"

I hope she likes hers.<br/>I do, Augustus.<br/>I do.""<br/>This book was very touching, but not at all sappy. It's the kind of book everyone can relate to, and it's the kind of book everyone would love.<br/>I'm not going to say it is purely a cheesy love story. It is so much more than that. It's the tragedy of living, of losing the ones you love, and it's the suffering and pain, both physically and mentally, and it's the joy of love, of friendship, and it's the words left unspoken, and the tears held back.<br/><br/>It's the fault in our stars.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R10RT7W5ROF2FT?ASIN=014242417X	A beautifully contemporized Shakespearean tragedy	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Beautifully written. Prepare to laugh, be ready to cry.<br/><br/>The Fault in Our Stars is stunningly beautiful and remarkably thoughtful. This book is an English teacher's dream full of extremely thoughtful metaphors, poems, and vocabulary. The characters have such a remarkable voice of their own you feel like you know them by the second page of the novel. This book tackles some of the most challenging material there is, but does so with a frequent jokes and, in many ways, a much more realistic view on such heavy subjects than most novels dealing with challenging material.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2SKOMT6KYCM5N?ASIN=014242417X	Had potential	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I'm disappointed. I've heard so many good reviews over this author and this book; spent eleven dollars on it and I couldn't even force myself to feel a connection with these characters. They just didn't seem real to me; felt like I was watching someone else's life fly by instead of actually being apart of the ups and downs she experienced with her illness. The guy... I couldn't feel that ~over the moon~  love she had for him. It felt more like something you'd say instead of something you actually felt if that makes sense. Over all, I wish I could've saved my money but oh well</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RZC60JHWWR9Y9?ASIN=014242417X	Sweetest movie	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Such a great movie! Of course the book was better (as they always are) but for those who don't like to read, this movie covers most everything in the book. Lighthearted with some pretty sad and emotional scenes this is the perfect movie for someone who is dealing with cancer, or for someone who is falling in love for the first time. Its rated PG-13. I heard the f-bomb dropped once and then there was a scene where Hazel and Gus make out. No nudity, but the assumption that something more was about to happen is defiantly part of the scene. I recommend the movie for 13 and over.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2TXLITA49E2S4?ASIN=014242417X	Beautiful story.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">My in laws gave me the audio CDs. In true form, after driving 3 hours, hitting a skip in one CD and missing a vital part, I got to the destination and there wasn't a CD player to quietly finish the book I was enthralled into. I loved the characters, the rawness and the realness of its story. I quickly went to my beloved - Amazon and downloaded the kindle book - I can choose from any device I want to read from - and enjoy til the tears flow. I loved the book. I can't wait to watch the movie and see my imagination fight with the visual existence of the movie. Enjoyed so much.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3L30UOJHNSA15?ASIN=014242417X	and I loved it! The book on its own is excellent	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This was my first audiobook purchase, and I loved it! The book on its own is excellent, but the audio version adds something extra that I wasn't expecting. It allowed me to ""read"" a book while driving when my life was too hectic to be able to read anything aside from my textbooks. The audiobook made the characters more real for me too. I love reading books and creating my own version of characters, and I thought I would miss that if I listened to the audiobook. However, it only made me fall in love with the characters more because the narrator does an excellent job.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2ORFWPKZXA517?ASIN=014242417X	Good reading	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">this was a book I wanted to read until the end. it was hard to put down. some of the sentences that were written were a little hard to understand their meaning and I kept reading them until I understood it's meaning. cancer itself is scary and I have had a small skin cancer on my face due to the beauty of the Sun something I loved being under. but now I fear. I also lost my ex husband to lung cancer and now I worry because I smoked for years before finally quitting. so y'all,  this book put feelings into each page. whether you're young or older cancer doesn't discriminate.</span>"

Tragic, yet not so much that reading it brought me down and depressed me.  We all have our own unanswerable questions about our mortality and our relevance, but more importantly, we learn that the most important thing to do is to be who we truly are and let that effect those we love.  this book was so beautifully written and I'm so glad it wasn't over my head.  It was smart and I felt smart in my understanding and comprehending of it.  Can't wait to see the movie although I fully know it couldn't possibly hold up to the book.  Thank you John Green.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3JAICBX7FEW1N?ASIN=014242417X	An Honest Book.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">At first I thought it's a typical love story where the girl dies and the boy lives, but it turns out the opposite . Not only opposite but it was a different take on sad love stories. Reading through the pages I expected to cry and be sad and mourn for the characters. I usually do that when I read sad fictional books. But this book never once made me sad nor cry. The characters are so courageous that there is no room to pity them. I guess sometimes that is what we need. To have tremendous courage to keep us alive. And to be honest to face the truth and not be defined by it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RFD0M5UYWSTS1?ASIN=014242417X	Emotional Rollercoaster	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">My daughter read The Fault in Our Stars first. She promised me it was an excellent book and told me I shouldn't pass on reading it. I read it. Being a parent, I was nervous about the content of the book because there is nothing in this life more heinous then losing a child (in whatever way).  I was so caught up in Hazel and Augustus' love story that the above was only a small part of the emotional rollercoaster the book had me on. I laughed at their early verbal interaction, got angry at Peter, and at Isaac's girlfriend, and of course cried (a lot).  My daughter was right.</span>"

I started reading this book because a ton of people recommended it to me and I'm so glad they did. John Green is a great author. This book is so well written, and so inspiring. It had it's parts that made me smile, made me laugh, and parts that made me cry. For the 48 hours I spent reading The Fault in Our Stars I didn't get anything done. I spent all my time reading, falling in love with Augustus Waters along with Hazel. It's just an amazing book overall and I'm so glad I read this book, and I'm planning on reading it over and over again.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3JTPPFAD9SO32?ASIN=014242417X	One of the best books to grace this planet.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I was wary to read this book because I was no fan of Green 's ""Looking for Alaska"". But I must say, Green had me hooked from the very beginning with this one. I will admit that, without a doubt, this is one of the best books I have EVER read. I laughed, sobbed and was scared at times. I was fascinated with how well Green was able to portray the stages of grief -and not even through the characters, necessarily, but through the reader. At one point in my reading I had to take a drive to clear my head. That's just how emotionally involved this book got me. Highly recommended.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1S2GACS40TVGS?ASIN=014242417X	Okay? Okay.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I instantly fell for Hazel Grace. Unlike many female leads in other books, she seems truly genuine. I could relate to most of the things she said and I wished with all my heart I could help her. On the other hand, I really didn't like Gus. Sure he was sensitive and a great guy, but he just didn't feel 'real' to me. Some of the romantic moments they shared, like the Anne Frank House, made my heart melt and the ending did sadden me, but not too much.<br/><br/>While the book was beautifully written and it had some amazing quotes, I wouldn't consider it one of my favorites.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R310T9YXMZ8037?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I can not believe this book is already over. Just like Hazel and her favorite book I have so many questions about the end. When does Hazel pass away? Does she ever find love again? And what happens to Isaac does he live a long life as a blind man? I recommend this book to ages 10 and up. It is a little inappropriate in some scenes but really I didn't pay attention to that this book is so good and I will re-read this over and over. I still feel emotionally connected to this book and I feel like I was there the whole time just witnessing it. JOHN GREEN IS AN AMAZING WRITER!</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2WEQ11S839LV0?ASIN=014242417X	Really good Read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I found this to be a really good book. I usually stay away from books that I already know will make me sad. But this book was showing up everywhere so I had to read it. I thought John Green did a really good job in developing the characters, I also liked that the book was entertaining, I know some saw that fact that the book did not focus on cancer as a negative but I honestly saw it as a positive, I felt like most books make cancer a character as well but this one did not. I suggest people of all ages read this book, it is very touching and entertaining at the same time.</span>"

They have a unique way of expressing their thoughts and use language that not a typical teenager would use, but, in the end made the book moving and deep.<br/>Obviously, Hazel and Gus fall in love but in the end, Augustus looses his life to cancer.<br/>This isn't a ""cancer book"" it has much more meaning and goes deeper. If you like The Perks of Being a Wallflower then you will love The Fault in Our Stars.</span>"

The only other author who can do that is John Irving.  The quick wit and ironic humor of the medically condemned is, for some sick reason, refreshing and enlivening - like whistling through the graveyard at the Old Grim Reaper.  Anyone who has been chilled by the cold hand death (and we never really get over its irrevocable finality) will appreciate this novel and be proud to place it on that special place in their bookcase where the ""Great Reads!"" reside. - William R.

It gives life lessons and can teach you. I liked that the book could make me laugh and cry. This book just kept me curious on what would happen next. I kept turning pages, and because of that, I finished this 320 page novel in 1 week. I would recommend it to anyone from age 12-20. I'm super excited on the arrival of the movie of which I will be in the front row on the day it comes out!<br/>-The world is not a wish granting factory<br/>-I fell in love with him like you fall asleep; slowly, and then all at once</span>"

This book has changed my life and gave me a small glimpse into the life of a cancer patient. John writes of love like no author ever has it isn't fake or fairy tale but genuine and real. making u want to fall in love just to feel that way. the reason why I love this book so much is  because it takes a normal life and gives it meaning</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">When I started this book and realized it would be based around two people who happen to have cancer I thought it would be so depressing. But this book takes your mind to new places and makes you think of such horrible things in such different ways that just being able to read about such love and loyalty was an honor. It reminded me a lot of A Walk To Remember but the characters are so much more relatable to me that it made the book much better in my opinion! I would HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone without a doubt! Will be one of my favorites for the rest of my life!</span>"

I loved the main character's quirkiness and confidence.  In fact, all of the characters were incredibly well developed, especially the author of the main character's favorite book.  I sped through this in just a few days as I couldn't wait to read what would happen next.  I was literally sobbing out loud after finishing this book, and despite being such an easy read, it was very thought-provoking - especially thoughts of the existentialist nature.  I can't wait to read the rest of John Green's books.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RKFCG9B68XFGX?ASIN=014242417X	Smartly Written	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is the kind of book that needs to be savored. It is very smartly written and there are multiple quotes that are so memorable. While deciding to read this book, I knew it was about cancer and dying but it was more than that. It was about the genuine (in sickness and in health) kind of love between two teenagers, philosophical view about being alive, and the impact of losing one's loved ones. Augustus's adoration of Hazel was totally understandable because she was such a lovable character, wise beyond her years, kind, considerate and unassuming to how special she was.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R17RCSVDLX22ZL?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing and sad	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book tells the story of two cancer kids who fall in love. Wile the book was extremely sad it told an important story of how people with cancer live out there lives. Wile we may feel bad for them them we should not, they are only people who were unfortunate enough to be sick. Hazel grase (our main character) falls for Augustus waters but because of there illnesses can not have a normal relationship. There journey is truly amazing and I would recommend this book to someone who wants a closer look into the life of someone with cancer or any other life altering illness.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1TE13K8AG8S5U?ASIN=014242417X	Just.. WOW!!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I would recommend this book to any and everyone!! The humor, the real life struggles, and the sadness.. It brought tears to my eyes. I didn't think it would be that great at first. I mean, who wants to read about someone dying of cancer?? I don't!!! But the thing is, it makes you realize, that they aren't just dying of cancer, they are living with it. And yea. That sucks!!! But brave too. Hazel found love... Not many do.. I know I haven't, and I'm healthy.. It just reminds me that I have a good life, and that those who are sick can and (some) are.. Hope this is helpful.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R11WYXYVMNKGBP?ASIN=014242417X	Crying and Laghing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Oh my God!!!!!!!! This book is freaking awesome!!!!!! Tear jerker, and will leave you rolling on the floor because it's so funny. There is a little bit of uhh.. well... let's go with ""inappropriate scenes""  and a few curse words but other than its a really good book and you can skip the bad parts. I used immersion reading (only 3.99 on this book) and finished it within 2 days. Awesome book. Totally recommend it. And I am very picky about what I read and what I don't read and what I like and don't like. Can't wait for the movie!!! Eeeeeekkkkkkk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R37ZSBQ1H0MWKX?ASIN=014242417X	Fault in our stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Amazing book is outstanding very detailed used great vocab. Hazel was a big role This book she showed to be proud with who you are and showed what true love really is. Augustus Waters a funny character who shows that being famous or a hero isn't everything you can make a mark on the world from your own home, I love/hate the ending of Gus himself though showing nothing lasts forever he knew his time was close u he didn't complain after Hazel showed him the way. Isaac is what I find almost the humor of the story, showing that you don't need eyes to see the best in people.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1JI63DLA64R57?ASIN=014242417X	A decent read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This was one of the most quoted books on Goodreads last year and reading some of them prompted me to buy the book as I was impressed by the beauty of the language Green uses. There are several memorable quotes throughout this book that really make you sit up and listen and have the power to change your perspective on topics as big as the meaning of life. Green certainly is a talented writer. However I found myself skimming through a lot of sections where the focus was not on the characters and their emotions and I found the sections around Peter Van Houten a bit boring.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2W31MPGPRLP2C?ASIN=014242417X	Good, not great...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">About what I expected. Liked it. Telegraphed just about all its major moves. Is that a terrible thing? No...but just one thing really bugged me...that everyone was ""beautiful"", ""hot"", etc. Whether or not it is trying to reflect reality and the unsparing spear of cancer, this story has been told before. But perhaps that is the nature of cancer...a terminally unending story of lives lost too soon, and that even the lovely feel - and in some cases - experience the loss from this disease firsthand.<br/><br/>Will make a good movie (already has?) I am sure.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RN0PLTMCJXXV9?ASIN=014242417X	simple but also profound	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">A good novel has a believable story line, engaging characters, and a point of view regarding some element of universally shared experience. To write about teenagers and cancer, developing relatable characters reacting to the inevitability of death, should be like a walk through a mine field of sentimentality and emotional manipulation. This book reflects the authors insight with deft handling and a light touch. I recommend it to any reader courageous enough to ask hard questions about life and love. I gave it four stars because it is, in my opinion, a very worthy book.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1SZK5N723KB8Y?ASIN=014242417X	A touching book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I decided to read this cause of all the hype surrounding the movie. I wasn't as engaged at first as I typically am with books I like, but gradually I got into it, and began to care for the characters. I wanted to keep reading it. I actually stayed up late to finish a book - that doesn't often happen!<br/><br/>I haven't cared for the other John Green books I've read (Looking for Alaska, An Abundance of Katherines, and Paper Towns) but John has always been my favorite Vlogbrother and I know he worked on this book for quite a while. I think it was well worth the effort.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2UFO9GF0FCJM1?ASIN=014242417X	Awe inspiring... Beautiful	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I'm not sure if I love John Green or hate him but I thank him writing this book.  It is sll at once hilarious, soul crushingly sad, and heart warmingly beautiful.  I have never read a book in which I've been laughing so hard in one paragraph only to be brought to tears in the next.  It's truly a beautiful work of art.  And I thank you John Green for you have inspired my daughter both thru your writing and your vlogs with Hank ( so a shout out to Hank Green too) Again thank you thank you. Now my hope is that the movie is as good as the book.  Bring your tissues people!!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R10XS5QQ9DB4LO?ASIN=014242417X	Very hearttouching	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is literature at its finest. The Fault in our Stars is one of the most amazing stories ever written. There are many breathtaking moments throughout this book. It is both entertaining and helpful. This book gets to you, I cried several times throughout the book. Green does an outstanding job at engaging the reader in this.book. This story portrays many lessons along with a hearttouching love story. When I read the last sentence of this book I was absolutely speechless. I was completely bawling my eyes out. Incredible story. This book would be recommended to anyone.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3G4XAB4Y1G5HR?ASIN=014242417X	From a cancer survivor meant to follow Mr. Waters	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">To read a novel that mirrors how I felt and to be honest continue to feel is both utterly spectacular and profoundly depressing. I saw the movie first and refused the book for a good reason ( you know the sobbing) I called the ending thirty minutes in but only because I understand the insanity of cancer and the cruelty of life.  All that being said the ending is no better that imperial affliction.  What happens to hazel and her family?  Does Isaac ever see again?  Does Monica get what's coming to her?  Existence doesn't end with the loss of one unlucky cancer patient.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1WHNHXAB00GYE?ASIN=014242417X	extremely outreaching	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Not only did this portray a wonderful explanation  of all the little things we do in our lives, but it shows positive role models to standard teenagers, with their quick thinking, mostly non-negative, jokes that don't put others at any risk. The characters almost reach out and grab you with such emotional realism that I have never seen in a book before. It ranges from comedy to drama in seconds and is always introducing new sub-plots that everyone can enjoy. Although, I do hope that the fault in our stars does not have anything to do with us, as most every fault does.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2DSO48JEGPR1A?ASIN=014242417X	I was intrigued all the way until the end	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I really liked the writing style of this book even though I ten to shy away from young adult because of this very thing.<br/><br/>The characters were unconventional and they had some very profound thoughts on this world but I guess that is a side effect of dying.  I feel I need to reread this book to capture again some of these deep thoughts and ponder on them further.<br/><br/>This books was an easy read that will leave a mark. It's a commentary on how we process the dying and death, a love story and a collection of literary anecdotes that I think is just genius.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2GRLPWZ860SRH?ASIN=014242417X	Good story of a sad story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">First read of Green's work. I liked it. I appreciated the sarcasm of the characters and found myself laughing at several points throughout at some of the comments.  While fictional the book does make you appreciate what kids must go through in that situation. Tough deal. It would be difficult not to be angry and I think that is why I enjoyed, the personalities were believable.  The whole part of the author is what reduced from five stars to four, just entirely improbable and strange, and could have been handled differently and produced a great rather than good story.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3QWZ0WLMHZWD7?ASIN=014242417X	this book is an emotional roller coaster	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book starts so negatively but throughout grows to be more than that. Hazel grace and Augustus are honestly role models in a way, being so strong and fighting for life yet they know what is inevitable. This book gets five stars from me because it made the characters seem real and almost like your friend then it tears them away from you like a band-aid. This book was amazing and I wish that it didn't have to end like it did. I wish that Augustus was alive and well. I wish that hazel grace was healthy. But alas, the fate of their infinity was small, but fulfilling.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R31HXX1TEUE448?ASIN=014242417X	Still in tears!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This story is just beautiful! Augustus and Hazel's love is so raw and not so fairy tale-ish like a lot of stories these days. Hazel and Augustus are so blatantly honest and don't care who disagrees and that is what I love about them both! The last quarter of the book, I couldn't stop crying. I couldn't do anything but sob and continue reading. It shattered my heart, but I still fought to the finish. Bravo, Mr. Green! Way to break my heart, but still satisfy my need for a perfect ending. Way to go against the norm and show that not every story has a fairy tale ending.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1ETZ0K20Z7SFU?ASIN=014242417X	I laughed...and I cried	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I happened upon this book by chance. It took me all of a few hours to read. I fell in love with the characters from the very start. I loved Augustus' skewed and marvelous views of the world around him. And I loved Hazel's witty sarcasm. Her and Gus were so perfect together and perfect for each other. There were points where I laughed right out loud...I couldn't hold it in. And there were points where all I could do was choke back the tears. This book touched my heart in a delicate yet poignant manner. I loved it, and will read it again and again...like Hazel and AIA.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R34IK1XJIBGLVM?ASIN=014242417X	Young Adult Gold	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">All the rave about this book is well earned. I've laughed &amp; cried &amp; was really engrossed in every single chapter. A close family member of mine passed from cancer &amp; this added to the emotion of my read. Ofcourse, movies never live up to the novel but the movie is definitely worth watching as well. However, I don't consider this John Green's best work. I was actually more moved by ""Looking for Alaska"". Alaska, completely healthy, was somehow more sick than Agustus Waters &amp; Hazel Grace. Because of my preference for Looking for Alaska, I rate this book 4 stars.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2DEJ8FWFMXWQY?ASIN=014242417X	Great Book, But Grab the Tissues	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I was slightly hesitant to read this book because I feared it would be too sad. It was sad, but not overwhelmingly so. (I cry over the TV show Parenthood, just to give you an idea of my emotional range.) The thing that resonated most with this book was the main character and her fascination/obsession over a book. The characters are all lovable in their own individual ways. I always enjoy a little foreign travel in the books I read, and this book did not disappoint. I do not like giving spoilers, so that is all I will say about the story. This was a really good read.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3P2EQGVRFXIJD?ASIN=014242417X	Good Read, Sad Twist.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">When I began to read this book, I hadn't felt a connection to the characters (well nor did I ever feel connected to the characters). In all do respect it was written truly well. Once Gus &amp; Hazel Grace left for Amsterdam I began to fall in love with the book. It gave me a sense of sadness when the Surprise Twist came. After reading this book I wanted to go to my room and cry. I believe that if you have lost someone from cancer or your a nurse or you just enjoy being sad; I suggest you read this book. I can't wait to see this on big screen. (Movie comes out on 6-6-14)</span>"

I didn't even know what this book was about when I bought it for a book group.<br/>From the beginning, the voice of the very sick girl was spot on, I was shocked to learn it had not been written by a cancer survivor.<br/>Going through cancer treatment as a teenager can make you very mature and wise for your age.

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3NRVT4WT5MG5J?ASIN=014242417X	Beyond Words	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I just... have no words. This book was full of large words that I am yet too young to understand. However, the words I could understand spoke to me in a way that none have ever done before. I hope to, in a few years, come back to this book and be able to thoroughly understand it. However, I believe that dream is futile. John Green has woven together a masterpiece I'll never be able to understand. The metaphors, theories, sheer beauty of this book cannot be summarized. I cried, I laughed. This book has left an imprint on my life that I will cherish as long as I can.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RY4OS4KEE1NT4?ASIN=014242417X	I won't see the movie- because I love the book.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I haven't seen the movie that is so popular, based on this book. I don't want to ruin what for me was a coming of age story that finally didn't have to be a dystopian, violence-filled, sex-teasing yet inauthentic super drama written to become a movie. The narrator's cynicism and surprised tenderness that are happening within are the tastiest part of this novel. I can't see how that would be translated well on the big screen.<br/>For me the take aways on the loving time we spend, and how we choose to spend it, and the well-writtend dialogue made this book a winner.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1D04P4WSXL3FO?ASIN=014242417X	Mediocre Literature, but a good read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book has many cliches. As far as literature goes, it's nothing new or risky.<br/><br/>But, to its credit, the characters were interesting enough and compelled me to finish.<br/><br/>It's a good read for your kid, or for you if you have around five hours to kill. That's how fast I read it, at least. It's worth some free time and a few Kleenex.<br/><br/>But this is not a classic, and does not deserve most of its praise. The voices felt too similar, the dialogue got boring at times, and there were many missed opportunities.<br/><br/>But it's worth a read.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1MH4WOPD3535V?ASIN=014242417X	It was ok.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I thought I would try this for vacation reading. I guess I can see why people loved it. I enjoyed the main character's realistic dialogue about cancer and death. But, it was written just a bit too young for me, and I loved The Hunger Games.  It just didn't seem as wonderful as everyone said it was. I get why it is a tear jerker...perhaps my tears are a bit tougher to jerk...which is funny because I have been known to cry at commercials. It is an easy read, as I finished it on my first flight, I think perhaps I was just expecting more. Oh well, on to the next book.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3UE26N2VFG5H1?ASIN=014242417X	Breathtaking	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I have read many books in my days including classics such as pride and prejudice, and Wuthering heights, and I sincerely believe that this book is one of the best of the best. John Green somehow managed to make a heartbreaking tragedy comical and a pleasure to read. I was captured from the very beginning and remained hooked throughout the entire story. The quick wit and brilliant vocabularies of Hazel and Gus made the book even more enjoyable and I do believe that the next time someone asks my favorite book I will answer without hesitation, The Fault In Our Stars.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R34PBR2FTVC9LX?ASIN=014242417X	OMG!  THIS BOOK WAS RECOMMENDED TO ME BY MY GRANDDAUGHTER, AND I LOVED IT!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Only one other book I've read deals with teenage angst, love, dreams, hopes and dashing of those hopes by the horrible CANCER!  John Green has developed his characters so well that I feel them in my heart!  His story line and movement of the narrative is unparalleled in YA literature.  My emotions became raw and physically painful at various points in the story; I cried, I wept, I cried out in pain as I felt the emotions of each character in the book!  I WHOLLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK!  IT IS A MUST READ for anyone of any age able to understand its theme, not just YA!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RIFVPFQYN0ZDE?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in Our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I LOVED THIS BOOK! What I most liked was how romantic it was,but also really sad. I am usually not emotional at all, but I have to admire I cried at the end not just a few tears but full on waterworks. I recommended this book to a teenager who wants to read something different, not a normal romantic book where the guy gets the girl, this is a sad, romantic, touching, and poetic. I want everyone to experience the wonderful feeling that comes with this book. ITS A MUST READ!<br/><br/>P.S. I am 11 so it works for kids but it is really sad and a little inappropriate</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3JYWM7BV5TG3Q?ASIN=014242417X	Up late	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">this book is the best book I've read in a long time and I've read some pretty good books. I could not put it down. I read it in two days, staying up all night just to finish it. it will make you laugh and it will make you cry and it also is a lot like Peter valhoultens book in the sense that it leaves many unanswered questions. what happens to hazel and her family? what happens to Peter? Isaac? but the end is still beautiful and touching and somewhat answers the question of hazel. you'll fall in love with Augustus and I'm going to stop now before I spoil anything.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R35EE8YMMMHV6R?ASIN=014242417X	Wonderful book!!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book made me laugh so much - which is a first!!! Yes, it turns out to be quite sad in the end, but I still consider it to be primarily a funny book. It was also particularly nice for me that part of it was set in Amsterdam - one of my favorite cities in the world!! The one flaw for me was that I wish it'd been longer! I really wanted to get more details on how Hazel and Augustus fall in love. They are wonderful characters, so any extra time spent with them would have been great. But truly a very beautiful book, which I'm sure I'll read again many, many times.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R32QGIM18ABR8D?ASIN=014242417X	incredible	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The most important thing I think that I could say about this book is the fact that it's just incredible. The range of emotions felt through the development of these characters was outrageous. Happiness, laughter, tear all shed and felt at once at some point. I can't even begin to describe how much I love this book. Read it. Live it. Be part of this love. Oh man. Also, believe the hype about this book, it really is incredible and should be read and shared so that everyone has the opportunity to fall for these characters. Okay? Okay. Thank you John Green. Thank you.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3JAUA2LO2C2ZA?ASIN=014242417X	Simply amazing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The fault in our stars is an amazing book. I do love the book it self but the little phrases inside it are what make<br/>This book unique. ""Pain demands to be felt"" is the most inspiring quote I have ever seen. Don't try to suppress it. Let it out. And ""depression is not a side effect of cancer, it's a side effect of dying."" Because it is true this book relates to real life. And there are other metaphors and sayings, but this<br/>Is always going to be my favorite book. Because sadness is not a side effect of loving, it's a side effect of ending.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1JNNZ5VR6YAHJ?ASIN=014242417X	a heatbreaking and beautiful story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is amazing. The definition given by urban dictionary says it all ; a book that if it was thrown at me would hurt less than the story itself. If you can handle a Nicholas Sparks love story tragedy, then this is a book for you to try. Its an intense rollercoaster of emotions that brings the reader along for the ride. A heartbreaking but beautiful tale of young love at its finest! Living every day as if its your last and loving with your whole heart knowing it may only be for a short while. You will be hooked, and attached to Hazel and Augustus in no time!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R37U3UXF3A1R19?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing!!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">this was one of the best books I have read in a really long time. I've read it 3 times and cried every time. It's sad, but not so sad that you don't want to read it, and it's a love story, but not a love story that seems unreal and makes you not want to read it. John Green did an excellent job! The best part about it to me, was that it captured how the world works perfectly! After reading it, I had a new perspective of the world and I pondered the events of life for a few hours.  I recommend this to anyone who's reading this, and it is completely worth your time.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3LC5A75P8JB7W?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in Our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">this book, like few others speaks to me on a personal level. it shows that no matter how bad your situation is, theres someone worse, or just as bad. it shows that even the truest of loves can not save everyone, that everyone dies, not on an expiration date but when your body cant take anymore. and who knows maybe there is an afterlife, for this book I like to think there is, I like to imagine that when Hazel's time is up, she will meet her star-crossed lover. and maybe this time they will both be happy and get to live their infinite. no matter how long or short.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2DW6KPW4E0FZN?ASIN=014242417X	I didn't get sucked into this book like I guess some people have	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I didn't get sucked into this book like I guess some people have, but it was interesting enough story.  I either have a heart of ice or I just wasn't invest enough in the characters because I didn't cry at the obviously tear jerking moments.  Now that I've read it though,  at least I know what all the fuss is about.  Also, someone told me beforehand how it was going to go down, and I don't want to ruin it for you, but suffice it to say there's a few twists and turns that you might not be expecting.  Not an enduring work of fiction, but I don't regret reading it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RB306PZGRMGJM?ASIN=014242417X	Parts are a bit pretentious	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">My 11 year old daughter wanted to read this and suggested that we read it together. She never finished it. The book seems very heavy for young adult fiction.<br/><br/>The book is very well written, the characters well developed. The story was a tear jerker for sure. However, I found it difficult to get into this book. Parts of it felt pretentious - and I found myself scanning to get back to the parts of the story that I was enjoying. The dialogue between the main characters I found especially stilted and unnatural. I am interested in watching the movie though.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1JH5P0ECC02WO?ASIN=014242417X	Heart-throbbing page turner	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in our Stars is amazing because it's a love story with brutal facts that can't be denied. There was no sugar coating in this book which made this page turner even better. I recommend this book to people that don't understand life the way that Hazel and Augustus did.<br/>In my opinion, ""The Fault in our Stars"" has earned a rating of five stars because when I read the book it felt as if the events were happening right i front of me. Hopefully when people read this book they will LOVE ""The Fault in our Stars"" just as much as I did!!!  : D</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RWK4QLTKDA8H3?ASIN=014242417X	It's... Alright	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Okay, well honestly it was a decent book. Hazel was very likeable for me, cynical and humorous. Augustus on the otherhand, while being attractive in the book, in his thought process and eloquent speech, would probably annoy the crap out of you in real life. He's overly dramatic and pretentious. And while the story was romantic and sad and beautiful in its own way, it wasn't a tear-jerker for me. I was never able to attach myself emotionally to a character, and it kind of felt like the whole story was trying too hard to be a ""they were too young"" tragedy.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3LUUSCVQVLSHP?ASIN=014242417X	Touching & better than I expected	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I went into this book expecting ""teen lit"", which tends to be heavy on angst &amp; romanticized everything. While this book did have pieces of those elements, it was so much more. I loved the characters, and the story was touching and tragic.  I did not give it 5 stars because it did not meet certain adult literature standards that I have (as an adult woman), such as lots of description and intertwined, complicated characters or plot lines. However, this is a 5 star for just about any youth or young adult reader that wants a quick, touching, heartfelt story.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3DBMNV05EFCV?ASIN=014242417X	Beauitiful	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I have never read a book that makes me smile, become angry, extremely happy, then completely break out in tears, and actually giggle as the characters try to go through many different hardships in only a half an hour. This is beautifully written and was so amazing, I read the book in 3 days working around my schedule. I fell in love with each character and how they all made me look at all situations in life differently. I recommend this book completely and commend this amazing author on this book which is my new forever favorite. Thank you for the amazing story.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RK7P88NE057WT?ASIN=014242417X	This book isn't about cancer.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">When I began to read this book, I thought it was going to be another sad, self-hating cancer story. I was so wrong. This book is beautiful and happy and charming. It tells the true story of love, being that nothing gets in your way. Being willing to push aside your own feelings for the person you love so you do not hurt them. Accepting the love of someone who you know has an expiration date. If you love love, read this book.  Also, this book is amazingly well-written. It hooks you right out of the gate and I couldn't put it down. I suggest this book to everyone.</span>"

I like my choices, I hope she likes hers.""<br/><br/>This is a beautiful story. Although it deals with cancer and young lives, it is written deeply, yet lightly. It is funny, happy and sad. It made me laugh, made my heart happy and I cried.<br/><br/>I was happy that Hazel allowed herself to fall in love with Augustus. Made me realize how important it is to enjoy the present and to love fully.</span>"

I have learned things. New words, the way cancer patients might feel. I just lost my father figure to stage three lung cancer that metastasized and went after his heart. He would always tell me ""It hurts."" But before this book I never knew just how much it might hurt. This book was beautiful. I laughed, I cried, I fell in love with Augustus Waters. There's nothing I disliked about this book. The characters felt very real. It's just amazing and I highly recommend it. I need to read Looking For Alaska, now.</span>"

I liked it quite a bit even though it really isn't the genre I typically read, but of course I had to try it out since I heard so many good things about it, I'm not really sure if it was some t h the hype, but either way I would recommend this book to anyone who reads at all. I think one of the greatest qualities of this book is all of the fantastic quotes and lines that are incorporated in to it, I'm really a sucker for stuff like that.</span>"

The Fault In Our Stars walked on the edge on the crevices of my mind, extracting thoughts I have long kept hidden. It made me, I think, a better writer then I am which is a goal I have set for every book I read but only fulfilling it with few books. I can tell you what I thought, though meaningless with its over use, in a few simple words: I love it (present tense).</span>"

I cried so much while reading about this wonderful people that now that I'm done I'm gonna miss them. I recommend this book to anybody who thinks their life is tough or unfair because even though we always hear or see this kids with cancer, to actually read about their life really changes the way you think about the way you live your. I hate to sound like Hazel but I really do wish I could find out what happened to her, when she died and what she did until her last days, did Van Houten write her a eulogy?</span>"

I have read many books in my life, and this is one of the best. I absolutely love John Green as an author, so it might be a little unfair, but anyone who reads this will most likely fall in love with this book, as I did. If you are reading this and haven't read The Fault in Our Stars, I strongly recommend you read this book immediately. This is one of the books you stay up as much as possible to read before you pass out. Love this book. Absolutely, positively love it. It is amazing.</span>"

For me, the movie was so poignant, I wondered if I might get to know the main characters even better; that the book might develop these characters in greater detail. I was not disappointed. I admit, I enjoyed the portrayals given by the actors, and this enhanced my pleasure because I pictured them as I read the dialogue. The movie was wonderful; the book is even better. In case you are curious, the movie did not deviate notably from the book. I will look for more works by this author.</span>"

And everyone who has seen the movie told me, ""Don't just bring a few tissues, bring a BOX of tissues"", which is also true for the book.  The way that Hazel Grace and Gus ""get"" each other and Love each other is something that I can only dream to have happen to me in my lifetime (well, without the cancer part).  But I was thrown a zinger about 3/4 of the way through the book that really had me sobbing.  Please read this.  It's a super easy read, that I read within 36 hours.</span>"

It inspires people and shows how people should think. It's not about just plain cancer kids. It's about how they go through life and what they have to go through. The fault in our life, the fault in our love, the fault in our stars. This reminds us how lucky some of us are and how we should support other people with there problems. Don't just think of how it could help you make sure it can help other people. You should read the fault in our stars then go see the movie.</span>"

Lol makes cancer patients extremely attractive and loosely sexy. Lol and I'm glad I bought it so I can read it over and over... finished it in a day because I was so hooked. Definitely a must read if you have a twisted sense of humor and aren't afraid of the reality that we're all going to die someday, some people just make the most of it and have added perks ;) in addition, the vocabulary is mentally stimulating. Who needs drugs when you have  good book to intoxicate the mind with :)</span>"

It's definitely a tear jerker. If you are an emotional reader make sure you have a box of tissues handy you will need them. I went into this book only knowing the obvious story it held but after starting to read it I realized it was so much more than a love story. I am so excited to see what they have done with this book in the movie when it comes out in a few months. There are a hand full of books I have read that leave impact on me and this one just got added to the bunch. Very well done John Green.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2JIX9Q7T2YKRL?ASIN=014242417X	Engaging and worth the time	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is a story of love and loss of laughter and sadness. It is not a happy story but don't let that discourage you from reading it. There were many parts of this book where humor is abundant and sarcasm abounds. You will learn to love the connection between Gus and Hazel and their story as it unfolds. It took me longer to read than some other YA novels mostly because there wasn't anything out of the ordinary in this book. There was only life and it was enough. This book has some of my favorite quotes and I frequently found myself taking notes on some of them.</span>"

Many times, humans want what they cannot have, or what they dream they can never rightfully possess... and when, finally, the end goal is achieved, the meeting of two yearning hearts beating in the same soul, the end is often bittersweet... but we all try.  John Green tries in many of his works to address philosophical questions .... of human values and opinions of our own self-worth.</span>"

I don't mean I want a dead boyfriend and have lung cancer, but to have true love and a loving family along with an amazing story, now that would be fantastic. I cried and dreamed and cried again. This cruel ending has left an impression. Thank you for writing my favorite book. I am a terrible writer but if you quote what I have said, my name is Bella Terese Waterman. Thank you and I'm sorry for any sorrow you had to go through to write this, but If you just had an imagination and wrote this without any experience I am astounded.</span>"

And if being intellectually mature means that your views and understanding of love is matured. It also makes me think about whether ""YOLO"" (You Only Lives Once) is a motivation or demotivation when you know that you won't live as long as you imagined you would. And whether it is a bad or good influence on the choice you make... No matter whether or not your ill or not.</span>"

I really liked the fact that it wasn't just you're normal love story with and average, but hot girl (who doesn't know she's hot) who falls in love with a perfect, charming boy that all the girls like. It was about two smart, wonderful people living with cancer that fall in love. I recommend it to people who are<br/>looking for a romance that is a bit funny and sad.

I went into this book, knowing the ending, thinking it would be a quick read so I would understand all the buzz about the movie. It was a quick read but it left quite an impact. The characters were deep and the book showed how strong young love can be. The characters also captured the death of people with cancer. Having a family member recently pass from cancer I thought the characters perfectly captured the struggle not only for those with cancer but the family members. GREAT READ. I would recommend this to anyone.</span>"

That's good news though because I read it, walked away to think about it, but it was just too awesome...and then must of gotten distracted by its awesomeness.<br/><br/>Sad, sad, sad!!! I bawled like a baby reading this. I read it so quickly. I just could not put it down. It includes very real, intimate problems of teenagers, and teenagers with terminal illness. It's a beautiful love story.<br/><br/>The writing is absolutely beautiful...some of my favorite quotes EVER are from this book. Read it and you will see.</span>"

But... maybe because it's written from a teenagers point of view I found it to be lacking something. It was an easy read, I was able to complete it in a few days with reading here and there over a weekend trip. I found it to be a bit too predictable and as a mom of a teenager I often wondered to myself where these kids who think so deeply and talk with such a sophisticated vocabulary are. (that was not meant to be an insult to my very intelligent son!) :-)<br/>Overall good book, I'm glad that I read it. I look forward to seeing the movie.</span>"

Recently I've been visiting the oncology department myself these days and talking with real adolescents has made me realized if there's someone out there like Hazel or Augustus. Of course they're only characters, however, the story brings out the best of their sickness that somehow I'd like to see myself that attitude in the sick teens I know. If someone is reading this, do you think it's a good idea for me to give this book to the patients about Hazel's and Augustus' age I know?</span>"

The characters did not feel like teenagers, even teenagers with cancer. Their conversations felt way too old for them. The story was not too bad and I can see why it might be popular with teenagers who think they are smarter than they really are (hipsters). The writing was mediocre as I was constantly distracted by the poetic nature of the dialogue.<br/><br/>I listened to the audio version and Kate Rudd did a decent job. She didn't have the intonation a teenager, but then again, neither did the book. Pacing was pretty good.</span>"

I want depth and quality and philosophy... And this book hit all of that. There were some parts that were a bit silly but overall I fell in love with this book. I loved the small infinity I had with my son and this book helped me really appreciate that we had so much in such a little amount of time. My husband and I read this on the way home from his parents house for the last time as they had both passed away in 8 months of each other and we both needed the laughter and the tears. John hit the nail on the head soooo well.</span>"

I loved loved this book. The interactions between the teenage characters were hilarious. I enjoyed reading about how they coped with the tragedies in their lives and still continue to have a sense of humor and appreciation for life. I absolutely loved Hazel’s dad and their father and daughter interactions just made my heart happy and sad all at the same time. This book made me cry both tears of sadness but also happiness.

I ended up purchasing the audiobook and it was even better the second time around.  This book was extremely emotional and was so well written that you felt you were right there with the characters immersed in their journey both in joy and heartache. Highly recommended. I also highly recommend the audiobook, Kate Rudd does and excellent job and her inflections take the book to a whole new level. It is one of the few times where the audiobook is actually as good if not better than the book itself.</span>"

It must be an amazing and wonderful feeling that your writing can make almost every person to read the book or watch the movie cry!! I have seen the movie as well, and there are things in the book that i wish were in the movie. There are also things in the movie that i wish were in the book. Just the little things that make it even more amazing!! I suggest this book to teenagers or young adults:)</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R348BKHVUP689M?ASIN=014242417X	through the looking glass	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This story seemed to me both familiar and foreign at the same time. It was foreign to me as I have never experienced cancer. Neither I nor any member of my family has ever had it and no one I've known affectionately has died from it. But this story is not about cancer. It's about living and dying, being human and having a soul. The familiarity were the questions asked and the experiences, although unique to each person, resonated the same desire. A desire to live, to experience the wonders of life, to be one of the remembered, acknowledged by the universe.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RCUTCF4FBCBJT?ASIN=014242417X	Dignity through consciousness	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Much of the story is romance and tragedy, two classic modes of literary entertainment.  What appealed to me was the shared reflective nature of these young death-bound lovers, the effort to find meaning rather than give up to dispare.  It is their conscious effort to pay attention to what is real, what is good, what can be controlled or not, and the understanding that evolves from that effort, which gives them insight into the meaning of human existence, frees them to love generously and to face death with dignity.  Despite the sadness, an uplifting read.</span>"

I couldn't put it down, when I did, I couldn't stop thinking of what would happen next. Prepare for lots of feelings; from sadness, to laughs. This book takes you along with their journey and has some plot twists. I really enjoyed reading this book and am looking forward to seeing the movie. I was a little intimidated by how many pages there are (I'm not much of reader, just starting my exploration) but I read this book nonstop for 2 days. I wish I would've taken more time to enjoy the story. I will most likely read this book again.</span>"

I didn't cry like I did when I watched the movie- perhaps, because I was already prepared for what might happen, but all-in-all, it's a good read. Like most say, it's a sad one, so have the tissues on stand-by just in case. I just wish John Green wouldn't have sped up some of the really important parts of the book- like how Augustus felt about his former girlfriend, and how Hazel felt after *SPOILER-STOP READING* Augustus passed away.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2G66DUKZ5JM9B?ASIN=014242417X	I loved this book, but is it really for young adults?	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I really liked this book and felt that the author did an outstanding job creating very real characters.  The subject matter was obviously difficult but there was a very optimistic tone to the story.  I have several friends who asked if I felt that this book was appropriate for their ten year old children.  I would not recommend it for this age group, I think it is targeted to a more mature audience.  That being said, I thought it was an excellent story about a subject that is not frequently discussed.  I highly recommend it, to both teens and adults both.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R13JCY5PMFI54C?ASIN=014242417X	Beautiful, terrible, simple, and complicated.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">A humble triumph of impact and ease. It slips away very quickly, and demands nothing, but leaves a deep and complex impression. Hazel Grace Lancaster is an honest and unapologetic narrator who tells her story -- their story -- precisely as it needs to be told, and portrays her cast of characters exactly as they exist, unblemished by her opinions of them. Hilarious, poetic, and heart breaking, I easily recommend this as a field guide to navigating the land mines strewn throughout the stars of your own difficult, tangled experiences. Definitely a must read.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2VT1A2H1JU5LX?ASIN=014242417X	Controversy	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book made me never want to set it down. John Green attacked this book with a passion. He left it at an end with the thought of happiness but also tragedy. He explained the characters personalities almost as if he knew them like the back of his hand. It was a controversy, this book. He would add bits of humor, and then throw tragedy into the most random places, but then he would fix it up. I love authors that ate able to do this, and I do have a strong belief, that his other books hold the same appealing standards that The Fault In Our Stars withheld.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3GL566WQK90AD?ASIN=014242417X	Heartbreakingly perfect	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I had seen stuff about this book all over the internet, I mean John Green is an internet icon. However, I didn't realize that I was going to fall in love with the characters, that I was going to relate so much to them, or that they would cause such fierce emotions to stir within me. The Fault In Our Stars ripped the still being heart out of my chest but there is no way in hell I would want to forget it or wish I hadn't read it. It has been one of the best books I have read in a long time, just make sure you prepare yourself for an emotional rollercoaster.</span>"

I was hesitant to read it at first as I thought it would be a very depressing book all about cancer but it was so much more than that! The author did a wonderful job, this book was so beautifully written and he made me fall in love with the characters! It was not dark and serious, it was light, funny at times, I laughed and I cried. It also wasn't a sappy romance, it was endearing and adorable. I fell in love with Hazel and Augustus and this book in general! Do not hesitate, just read it!! :)</span>"

THe author did a really good job of making the main character skeptical without making her cynical. I knew the book was sad going in and that definetly helps. Its about a young girl who has terminal cancer and she feels like she doesn't do much with her life. Then she meets a young man named Augustus Waters. But this isn't just a love story. Its more about finding who you are and what that means to the people around you. I loved this book and i strongly reccomend it, especially to people looking for a good cry.</span>"

Having characters like Hazel and Gus available to middle and high school students is a wonderful addition to this genre. In addition, their parents are more than just the supporting cast. They are authentic at every turn. I love a book with characters who are so well drawn that they stay with you long after the last page has been read. Mr. Green has accomplished this, along with telling a wonderful story.</span>"

Let me just express my gratitude to John Green for giving those who are lucky enough to read this a lifetime of wisdoms and inspirations from which to learn and grow. My daughter's name is Katherine, so that was my initial reason to read Mr. Green's works. I am looking forward not only to reading them but also to the discussions that will not doubt ensue with my Katherine about them.

I has real love, it's funny and sad all in one. It really takes you by surprise and what happens you don't except at all. This will be one of those books I put up for my daughter to read when she gets older! I think that it is important that we judge people for what going on in there lives treat people the same. This books shows that we tend to give or be nicer or hold back the truth because someone is sick and those people don't want that at all. They want to be treated just like the healthy people.</span>"

In the past week two high school friends died from bouts with cancer. They were in their 60s. I'm in my 60s and the book helped me cope. It gave me a way to defend against the cliches. And, wouldn't it be wonderful to experience a love so condensed it never gets diluted.<br/><br/>I loved the structure, the references to literature and the idea that teens love poetry and turn to words for solace and reading for  comfort.<br/><br/>I won't be seeing the movie. The book must be  savored as is.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1JXY12YWIMOF5?ASIN=014242417X	Great, but pack a box of tissues	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was pretty phenomenal.  It's outstandingly written, and the characters are just soooo real.  I'm kind of bummed with the ending, but you kind of see it coming I think.<br/><br/>I haven't cried this hard over a book since Jodi Picoult's ""My Sister's Keeper.""  Just like that book, it was so engrossing and you felt so much for the characters involved.  My tissue box took quite a beating, but at the same time you can't but the book down.<br/><br/>I highly recommend this book.  Yes it's bittersweet, but the story is well worth the tears.</span>"

Thank you, John Green, for continuously changing my life.<br/><br/>Now, I'm not one who sits around for hours reading, but this book is different.  By the time I got 3/4 finished with it, I simply could not put it down.<br/><br/>I definitely recommend TFiOS to every teenager out there.  Even though not all of us are suffering from Cancer like Hazel, the book follows a love story that we ourselves can fall in love with.</span>"

We don't know know what happens to her Mom and dad, if they stay together or if her Mom succeeds in her career. We don't know what happens to Gus's family or if Van Houton stops drinking or writes a sequel. What we do know, though, is that the story ends where the story ends and that there's no logical reason to hold onto this world because reading it again won't satisfy your curiosity and being so curious won't satisfy your need for finality.</span>"

They were in such bad situations but they where able to still help each other.

Before reading this I had never given much thought to what it would be like to have a terminal disease as a teenager and all that would mean.  For me, it was an education in kindness and love in the midst of adversity.  I am not articulating this well as matters of the heart's understanding are so subtle, just read it and you will know what I mean.</span>"

Before reading this, my impression was that it was a love story and the cancer did not define them, but the reality is that the cancer does define them, and every waking moment they are thinking about it and talking about it. This is not wrong or unexpected but it is not the book I was looking to read.<br/>  Having teenage children currently, I also feel like the depth and introspection that these kids have is a little exaggerated even for kids who have contemplated death.</span>"

Any person who doesn't like this book is crazy, for it is one of the best books ever!!! My thoughts couldn't be stated in text, except maybe that the writing is so great a word hasn't been invented for it!!!!!!!

Tells you the truth and the opinion which in Hazels case is that same thing to me. Her mindful thinking is so perplexed.

She described it so well, I had to dig in and read! At first I thought this would be more of a kid book, but as I kept reading I thought "" This is amazing "". I loved how the girl exclaimed her feeling and thoughts, which was interesting to hear. I would recommend this book to people that are more experienced with love because a boy and a girl start bonding and have lots of love scenes.

I've watched his youtube videos almost since the start so I am familiar with him. this book is so heartbreaking such an emotional roller coaster that even though I knew what was coming as a rational adult I couldn't help but shed my fair share of tears. now I can just hope that the next thing I read is less heavy.

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book shines a light on the subjective understanding of group therapy when many members have already passed on. The group consisted of mostly teenagers coping with the disaster of cancer in children. The narrative includes the relationships and romantic interests found in any group that grapples with the grim reaper. Not even those who were healed of cancer may be headed for a difficult struggle and finally death with the rehearsed funeral.<br/>I felt the book dealt honestly and without sentimental baloney with the subject of death at a young age.</span>"

It's written in a way that captivates you from beginning to end. You can feel the characters struggles and victories. The story is like life itself, sometimes funny and happy, and other times sad, and that makes it so enjoyable to go through it. But for me what makes this book so special is the amount of insightful thoughts and metaphors you can get out of it. I even felt that made me reconsider some things in life. Overall excellent job John Green!</span>"

Aside from some unnecessary swear words (which do NOT improve the story) I liked it a lot.  My teen is reading it and SHE pointed out the profanity.  Why do authors think that makes a book/movie better?  I do not think readers read it because it has the f___ word in it, so why bother putting it in?  The story is GREAT.  The characters seem to think/feel as real people would in their situation.  I'd give it 5 stars and recommend it to all my friends' children if it were a bit cleaner.  As it is, I do recommend it to adults.</span>"

Of course, it isnt out yet and so I haven't seen it, but this is one of those books that you read and know it cannot be made Into a movie. They may have taken the basic story line, but the book is literary. It is a voice, a style, an attitude, a philosophy, a cerebral relationship you create with the heroine. I loved the story, but I really loved the writing and the characterizations and the courage it took to write this book the way it is. The movie can't possibly contain or convey what the book does. I highly recommend!!!</span>"

I feel sorry for the people who haven't read it. WARNING:There will be tears! The thing is, this book stays with you even when you're done reading it. Quite funny actually. I've made my 5 closest friends read it, and they've all loved it. I love John Green's work and Vlogbrothers. And if you've already read this, I really recommend reading This Star Won't Go Out! It is about Esther Earl, the girl TFIOS was dedicated to, and her story. Unless you're a soulless person, TSWGO will also make you brawl.</span>"

I would probably reread this book several times and each time learn more and probably cry more. Okay, okay (you'll see what I did there) I would recommend this book to anyone that questions life, death, or human existence or anyone who enjoys a great love story, whichever person you are, you may possibly become the other types also after reading this book. That's the thing about pain (and the universe) it demands to be felt.</span>"

They are either terminally depressing or so filled with uplifting memes and tearful joy about how we are so lucky to still be living and see how gracefully our sick person died. This book, told by its ""professionally dying"" lead character, deals with those ideas quickly, and then moves on to being the story of a young girl falling in love with another cancer patient. The pacing is fast and every instance of fun and joy is grabbed and held tightly. For such a sad subject, this is truly a funny book.</span>"

I don't want to say too much to spoil this book for anyone; although with the movie out there may have already been one too many spoilers. All I can say is you will not regret reading this utterly brilliant book by none other than John Green himself. I must worn you though, my friend, you'll get destroyed by this fantastic and breathtaking piece of work. Be prepared for many laughs and tears.

John brings Hazel and Gus to life in this book and he pulls us through their love story in a way that tugs at our heart. As a parent of a teenager with cancer, I recognized many of the challenges faced by these two kids and found that John did his homework better than many authors.  Kudos for reminding us that there were lots of good times during dark days and more kudos for not pulling any punches.  Thanks for sharing this lovely work of love.</span>"

Knowing that there is hope is very important when you are dying. We are all dying a little everyday and with that hope that Jesus Christ died for our sins and that there is an everlasting life is what makes everything better. Hazel was a wonderful character in the book, but she was missing truth. I loved the shocker in the book and thought that gave it a great twist. It was well written and now I'm excited about seeing the movie. I recommend this book to everyone.</span>"

I am very glad I did read it! I feel almost as Hazel Grace did about An Imperial Affliction. The book left me hanging, wanting as much as Hazel to know what happened to the rest of the characters. I very much disagree with what Van Houten said about character's lives ending when the words come to a close. These people's fictional lives continue in any readers mind after he sets down the book. Very good tactic Green! You let the imagination flow like any good writer should. Love this book ❤️</span>"

My sister was diagnosed with cancer 5 years ago and I wish I had read this book then. It has given me a different outlook on what she went through and is still going through even though she has been cancer-free for 4 years.  I can't wait to see this movie.

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R25XXQLWNCSFLL?ASIN=014242417X	"I didn't feel ""All of the Things"""	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Some vague spoilers. No names mentioned.<br/><br/>I love John Green. I think he's a very talented YA author and writes great books that teens can readily identify with.<br/><br/>There are merits to directly pinpointing and taking pains to explore an emotion. It's a teenage impulse to really nail down what you are feeling and give it meaning. John Green is great at this, so his books are both comforting and exciting. And while it makes for a lot of great quotes and makes it easy for kids to identify with, teens feel enough already. You don't have to explain that much. Clear cut emotional writing is often good writing...but rarely great writing. Then again, I'm not faulting John Green for not writing Catcher in the Rye - that's ridiculous. But some subtlety in emotion can make for a book that people self identify with. It's like the rule ""show, don't tell.""<br/><br/>All that said, his books rock. They are great modern novels that help teens cope with being teens, which is a hard thing to do. He's great at tragic characters, adventures, roadtrips, et cetera. The problem with TFOS is that it's not a wacky coming-of-age novel. It builds up characters that you love and then leads them to their inevitable, depressing demise. Tragedy needs another element, other than tragedy. Emotional arc is hard enough without giving all of your main characters terminal illnesses.<br/><br/>I'm not saying it isn't a great book. I read it in one sitting and cried my eyes out. But it left me feeling hollow, not the hopefulness that was intended. I think to really get the message of hope across, and to write this book the way John Green really wanted it written, it needed more. John Green is an excellent writer, but he does not have a deft enough hand to create more layers in this story. Kill you characters, by all means, but have some respect for the reader. As is, it's a well-told story of tragedy that imparts little else as a ""greater meaning.""<br/><br/>My respect for John Green as a writer has not been lessened by reading this book, but I do think it highlighted one limit of his talent.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R16LJQD2VH1NHJ?ASIN=014242417X	Book Harbinger: Amazing; his best book yet	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Ever since her diagnosis at age 13, Hazel Grace Lancaster's cancer has always been terminal. Two years later and with tumors now in her lungs, Hazel was ready to die before a miracle drug stabilized her condition, giving her a new lease on life, at least for the time being. Now besides being out of the hospital and not dying, her life hasn't changed that much. At 16 Hazel still doesn't miss an America's Next Top Model marathon, leave the house except for classes at the community college, or have more than three friends (her parents and an author she's never met). Most of all her oxygen tank - a constant reminder of her illness - will never leave her side. Naturally, it's understandable that the cancer support group her mother insists she attend is the last place she'd choose to go. But Hazel never could've guessed that she'd meet tall, good-looking, and metaphorically-prone Augustus Waters, and that Augustus, a survivor of osteosarcoma himself, would be interested in her. Quickly becoming friends, Hazel and Augustus will do anything from reading the others' favorite book to challenging each others' deeply-held views on life and death, leaving them irrevocably changed, for better or for worse.<br/><br/>Besides knowing the interest-drawing title and seeing the beautifully graphic cover, I knew very little about John Green's newest novel, and in retrospect, I'm glad. It made the fact that The Fault in Our Stars was written from a female's perspective without precedent for Green a very welcome and happy surprise. Likewise, not knowing beforehand that the main characters had cancer allowed me to go into the read with no labels or stigmas attached. What having cancer has done for the characters is given them a vehicle through which they can reflect on the universal themes of life and death. And as in true John Green style, Hazel and Augustus have done so in impeccably humorous and clever ways leaving the reader smarter, not only in facts but in insight and ideas.<br/><br/>The first and perhaps only coherent thing I can say is that The Fault in Our Stars is my kind of John Green. Forever torn between the lightness of An Abundance of Katherines and the poignancy of Looking for Alaska, he's conveniently combined the two loves so I don't have to choose between them. If that wasn't enough instead of using his usual yet effective formula of geeky guy with quirky best friend wants unattainable girl, The Fault in Our Stars is told from the perspective of a girl who is neither particularly nerdy or popular and who likes a guy who is completely and willingly attainable from the moment they first meet. With the potential recurrences of cancer as their only real obstacle, Hazel and Augustus fall fast and hard for one another, an aspect of their romance about which I was certainly not complaining. In addition to their endearing wit, Augustus' friend Isaac, who has lost both eyes to cancer, also adds lightness to the heavy material. I enjoyed all of the cheesy blind puns, the seeing impaired video game mocking, and laugh-out-loud scenes like the car egging. Most of all though I loved Hazel and Augustus, who are both book and life smart, kind, incredibly real, and authentically flawed. Their relationship is sweet, addicting, and at times heart-wrenching. You'll want everything they can have and everything they cannot have for them. Sobbing and smiling throughout, I found The Fault in Our Stars impossible to put down until I finished its' near flawless last pages. Perhaps John Green's best book yet, it's a breath of fresh air in both his works and YA contemporary novels on grief and illness in general. It's certainly my favorite of his novels, and after rereading much of it in preparation for this review without anticipating doing so I look forward to rereads to come.</span>"

It's ups and downs between Augustus and Hazel were amazing and timeless. I did not see what was coming at the end until after their dinner at Oranjee. It was heart wrenching yet it mended the soul knowing not all stories need a true and complete happy ending. I highly recommend reading this book. I wish I could rate it more than five stars. John Green did a fantastic job at writing this. I couldn't take my eyes off of this book the moment I started.<br/><br/>-Rebecca</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2QOZD0VGHDKYD?ASIN=014242417X	Could not put it down!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">My best friend told me that after she read this book she did not want to read another book for awhile....she was ""Augustus Struck"".<br/>So I ordered it immediately.  Loved it so much that I read it in one evening and could not put it down until I was finished at 2am.  Great story! Great characters! Lots of meaning!  Call me a nerd, but I had an epiphany when I read the correlation of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs and an individuals ability to be creative... It was a profound and deep thought for me.<br/><br/>Signed,<br/>Non-fiction Author</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1KGELB6APRIP9?ASIN=014242417X	it leaves you feeling....	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I've decided to read this book after so many people say this is the book. At first I thought, another book about cancer and who survives and who dies. But, it is so much more then that. It is thought provoking and makes you realize what life is really about. The book that the characters are so immersed in gives them strength and courage. But the author of this book leaves you with so many questions just like the characters in the story have about the book they read. A little romance, a few tears, death but most importantly you will read about life!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RBWDTJBWTDN8R?ASIN=014242417X	A dang good book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I have come to love this book more and more every time I read it. I'm a teenager and this is for sure my favorite book ever. Just a love story with a twist a wonderful twist that you learn to love and hate at the same time. Just when you think something good will happen something bad happens that's what I love though. It teaches you to not take anything for granted. It has such an inspiring message. I would encourage anyone to read this book. Not for the drama or the sadness, but simply for the pure love in a story that shows some people's reality.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R37SOE7ATUCVRC?ASIN=014242417X	Well written and thoughtful	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Sometimes funny, sometimes sad, sometimes poignant “The Fault in our Stars” is a great book on love and loss that I think everyone should read.  Well written with wonderful characters that make you think and feel along with what they’re going through (which is what a book is supposed to make you do).  Yes Hazel and Gus are probably idealized versions of teenagers, but it’s nice to have a young adult character that can make mistakes of their age and add to their character, but at the same time not be winey all the time.  I really enjoyed this book!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2DJ4T5EPTJ6LZ?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault In My First Thoughts	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">A marathon of rather witty, sarcastic, and vulgar humor, whether intentional or not. Which I thought to be a joke or teenage parody of some sort. I found myself smiling half the time I read this novel. Along with philisophical topics and theories that forced me to actually think. Then again, it was a romance genre. I almost doubted the author's ability to write- until meeting the intelligable, horrible, and comically relieving Van Houten. Interesting read, overall. It's sweeping bookstores and theaters so you can't-not have read/watched the story.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R29THZT9ZYDCVX?ASIN=014242417X	PERFECT	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is probably the most perfect book I have every read! It's sad but it's also very addicting that's what makes this book perfect! It shows people that there are more people in this world that have a disease or that are dead or dieing from a disease of some kind! In my eyes it makes me realize that there are people out there that are less fortunate then I. It also makes me realize that I need to think about other people over myself because there are people with diseases like Augustus and Hazel and sometimes you can help a person get better!</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1DVP7JS8T82BN?ASIN=014242417X	Definitely YA	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">While I enjoyed the lead character's wit in this book, I found the constant cancer narrative a bit much.  This is definitely a YA book that tugs at the heart strings of adolescence, but left me (age 64) wanting something more.  A perfect candidate for a feature film, I'm sure many young people will enjoy seeing these characters come to life.  For my taste, I'm far more interested in seeing ""The Goldfinch"" on the screen.  This why they make chocolate &amp; vanilla &amp; why I have only been seduced by the Harry Potter series, primarily aimed at YA.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R33IC14E24HUBK?ASIN=014242417X	Simply amazing!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">It's been a long time since I've read a book that could make me cry, and never have I read one that was so good it made me cry like a baby curled up under my covers. That's exactly how I found myself after reading The Fault In Our Stars. I started this book in hopes that it would hold me over for a weekend while I wait for another book (Alligient!) to come out. Only I end up reading this book in two night, could have been sooner had I not been working. Even after the fact I can't think about this book without tearing up. It was an incredible read.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RCX6A3C313K6X?ASIN=014242417X	Literary brilliance	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Seeing movie trailer previews for the book turned movie, it just looked like another sappy Rom Com, like the Notebook. But reading the book has shown the depth about living, loving, and dying.<br/>I love the literary genius of the author being having this exclusive relationship with the characters and that the characters stories don't each end when the book does. So what happens to Hazel ? How long does she live? Does she ever find love again? Do her parent survive her death? Does Isaac get robot eyes?  I hope Mr. Green isn't a Peter Van Houten.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R11CQU0C96AAHB?ASIN=014242417X	Inspirational!!! READ THIS BOOK!!!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I do not like books that aren't mythology/action fiction. But it is an amazing thing that John Green has put out right here. It made me cry and laugh and smile. This is an inspirational and beautiful cancer story, I know it's fiction but it still gives a person hope when there is none. And I can tell this just by reading it. Though to those of you who say that this book is bad, all that I can say to you is your heart is cold stone wrapped in ice. This story melted my heart, even though I'm a girl, boys would cry to this too. READ THIS BOOK!!!!!!!</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1XEG20DU3FIZD?ASIN=014242417X	life	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read this only because my town and school district selected it for ""Hastings Reads,"" I love the book.  It is a book about living, loving, believing, disability, respect, pain, loss, sorrow, faith, joy, mindfulness and cancer.  I spent most of my 20s working at Camp Courage- sometimes with children and adults who were dying, Hazel, Gus and Peter took me back to that- to many big unanswerable questions. Through this book I see those questions are still there, still important, and most important is the living of life.  This book is a gift.</span>"

So I asked my other friend. She ended up giving me the same talk, but by that point, I just wanted to read it.<br/><br/>This book was grrreat, and it's not one of your typical cancer books, either. It's a cancer book with style, dawg.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3MMZ9C8VORAQ1?ASIN=014242417X	A very unique book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is not a book. This is a story that means something. It shows the real truth. I absolutely hate this book. Bit it is because it shows the hideous truth. Life ends in a middle of a sentence, and many, many others. This review will be lost with the others, but one person  will read it, and they will know. This is not a story. Hazel is not just a story character, she is a person. A person with a story much deeper and more meaningful then what is said. For this book is only an eighth pic the real hazel. We all have  story. This book tells hers.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1SQ2X1P22X33T?ASIN=014242417X	Brilliant twist on a first love story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read this book because I saw it was in the top ten book charts. I thought it was excellent. The main characters have terminal cancer which initially might sound depressing but it turns out to be a beautiful love story. It is a brave topic that makes you think about the meaning of life and death. Hardly put the kindle down for 2 days! Have since read Looking For Alaska by John Green which is equally, if not even more of a brilliant read. Highly recommended- also love the fact that on kindle, these books are now way cheaper than paper version!:)</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RHS8F8A4535RH?ASIN=014242417X	Not just a book about cancer, but a book about life.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I really enjoyed this book.  It wouldn't have been something that I would normally read, but I am glad I did.  The main character, Hazel, has terminal cancer.  She knows at some point that she is going to die, so she tries to shut herself off from having a real life and meeting other people.  Then she meets Gus and her life changes.  This novel is absolutely hilarious at times and completely sad at other times.  This is not just a story about cancer, it is a story about friendship, family relationships, and finding adventure in a shortened life.</span>"

Really stuffed. For hours, sometimes days.<br/>I just finished reading A Fault in Our Stars. I had to finish. I had to read to the end. From page 240 on, i cried. Cried so hard i couldn't read clearly anymore and had to continuously wipe the tears from my eyes in order to finish. I love my beautiful daughters more than anything. I miss my grandparents so much. Life is to short. There is not enough time. To much to do in this one, small lifetime.<br/>My nose will be stuffed for days.</span>"

Therefore my review. This is a beautiful written story.  I adored the fact that John Green didn't  just make this book about cancer. I absolutely loved the characters and how yes, they knew they have or had cancer, that wasn't all they were about. I loved the coy sarcasm between Augustus and Hazel. Their witty banter and then being actually relatable was amazing. The way that the two fell in love, slowly but then all at once. Such an amazing book!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3RTD1X8S9R85J?ASIN=014242417X	Great book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I actually heard about this book for the first time while watching the movie preview for it.  Being an avid book reader I came home from the movies and purchased it right away. The book is always better to read before the movie (which looks great) so I jumped in and read it in one day. Couldn't put it down. It's not that it's so suspenseful and loaded with drama that you can't  stop reading, it's that it's a great book. And great books are few and far between. Grab your tissues. Block out some quiet time in the last chapters to yourself. Enjoy.</span>"

But I just did not see it that way. It was very predictable and I just did not find any enjoyment while reading this book. I felt as if I wasted my money. I may just be a soulless creature for not crying at any point during this book, but that is what I think.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2VCHG457OEH89?ASIN=014242417X	I love it.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is by a thousand miles the best and most detailed book I have ever read. It describes everything perfectly and puts the image in my mind better than any book, ever. More than The Red Pony, even. No book has ever made my cry before, but I'm guessing you know what part, I did. He was a greatly described character and if everyone in the whole world could just stop for a day and read this book, the world would be changed forever, as my life was by this amazing book called The Fault in our Stars by the talented and wonderful author John Green.</span>"
1.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2567GMM395GDL?ASIN=014242417X	Read in One Sitting Type Book!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The issues in this book are incredibly realistic and poignant.  The main character is an incredibly mature, insightful and  thoughtful young lady.  If you have any idea of Hazel's (main character) medical history, you anticipate there will be abundant sadness in this novel, however, this is a must read.  Hazel is a heroine in the true sense of the word.  She faces life head on and realistically despite some very trying circumstances.  The interaction and dialogue are believable and honest.  A raw, powerful, truthful, yet lovingly written book.</span>"

As long as I have you near me"" -The Beatles<br/><br/>I would like to think I knew these characters. That they would be happy I chose that quote. But the thing about this kind of story is that I DO know these characters. The kind of story that gives you that feeling is the kind of story you place in your pocket and hold forever and forever. Change may rattle around and scratch it as you walk; but there's a beauty in all of that. Thank you mr. Green.<br/><br/>Just read the damn book, okay?<br/><br/>Okay.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I realize 5 *s = the best I've ever seen, but the book is that good.  How refreshing to treat people with problems as ""people"" and not charicatures.  You will fall in love with these kids.  You will want the best life for them just because they have managed to be normal in a very unnormal situation.  You will enjoy watching themn do what in reality is pretty mundane, but it will be special because of who they are.  I wish I could promise you a happy ending, but I do promise an ending you will be OK with.  Because they are OK with it.</span>"

Therefore, I hope this book was more of a love story than a cancer story.<br/>Eternity and the very real existence of God are too deep and spiritual to be well described in fiction. Therefore, I hope this book was more a teenage saga than a religious awakening.<br/>Perhaps as a cancer survivor and born again Christian who has been married to the one true love for forty years; I just didn't ""get it"".<br/>If it is the story of parents who have lost, then yes, I got it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2IM9VRQ51P6JG?ASIN=014242417X	Great Quick Read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I wanted to read the book before I saw the movie,  but yeah ended up seeing the movie first. The movie was actually very good, it made me cry, but the book 50x better. I love the character development that occurs throughout the book. You get more insight into all the characters, not just Hazel and Augustus. This is a great book to read with a Hugh school literature class, lots of teachable moments. Highly Recommend. The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is because I'm saving my 5 (read the book and you'll understand the reference.) Enjoy</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3CZTFH39PWAHO?ASIN=014242417X	I am very happy that it did	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read this becuase my teenager did and I wanted to see if it lived up to the favorable review.  I am very happy that it did.  I loved the fact that John Green duly credited our youth as been much deeper than most of us give them credit for being.  A very good read especially for our teen population because I believe they come away better for the contemplations they encounter in the characters.  Any piece of literature that can make on take pause in a day to think...""Did I make this world ""suck less"""" today is a worthy piece.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2839M9GVJQZS3?ASIN=014242417X	This book will break your heart </3	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was very well written.  Although, it was hard to fathom two young teenagers (with Hazel’s mom as chaperone) walking through Amsterdam alone, i.e. out to dinner, etc. but it was a cute story nonetheless.  There are moments when you are laughing right with the characters, and the next moment crying with them. It would have been nice to have an epilogue to know what eventually happens to Hazel’s parents – do they in fact stay together, how long Hazel lives for, and what happens to Gus’ parents.  I would definitely recommend this book.</span>"

The characters are real and because it is set in the city I currently live in I felt like I was with the characters at all times. All of the places they go (The IMA Garden Park, Holliday Park, Memorial Hospital, Children's Hospital...well everywhere, except one place, but that would be a spoiler) I'm very familiar with. The place I've not been to is so well described both in sights and senses, I feel as if I've been there too. I fell in love with every single character and carry them with me as I travel to where they've been</span>"

'The food was amazing' when it was simply delicious. 'This is an amazing day' when it's just the first warm day after a cold winter.<br/><br/>This time however I'm not misusing the word amazing. This book was breath-taking (no pun intended). It made me laugh, it made me cry. It wasn't a cancer book as Hazel said about AIA. It was much more. A love story. A story about living and not just dying.<br/><br/>I fully recommend it. I couldn't put it down after I started it.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">As an oncology nurse I am leery of books on cancer since I deal with these issues in real life, however I could not put this book down. I laughed so much, I cried so hard. I freaking love this book. It was so so good, yet so sad. However I was not mad at then end. I try not to read too many sad books, because real life is sad enough, but I at least wanted to give this book a chance. So glad I did, it is now one of my favorites. I read this book a while ago and I am still thinking about it. Definitely will be recommending this book to others!</span>"

This book covered the very real events that happen tragically to a section of our society that is very rarely covered in literature.  For those who may experience this or may know classmates that go through this they hopefully will be the friend who does not begin to drift away out of not knowing how to react in the face of terminal  or near terminal  illness.  This book validates the feelings for any adolescent  or family member in this situation.  It makes you stop and realize how precious life is.</span>"

I wanted an enjoyable book that would let me escape the stress and 'realness' of my own life.  I'm so glad I listened to the thousands of reviews; while sad at moments, this book did let me escape and dive into the life of Hazel Grace. She is witty, inspiring, confident and brave. All of which she would disagree with, and furthermore go into wonderful detail why.<br/><br/>This was a great book. I've never read a book in two days until now. Did not want to put it down.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Because I sure did!<br/><br/>Not because Green isn't a good writer or that I cried from the book ending but crying because I felt like I had lost someone.<br/><br/>This book was both humorous and serious. It took you into the lives of dying people trying to figure out this whole death thing. Before anyone died I was already leaky-eyed because the writing made me feel like I was there.<br/><br/>The only reason this got a 4 instead of a 5 was because Green did the thing Van Houten did in his novel and that was ending the story abruptly!</span>"

Augustus has a touch of osteosarcama and hazel has a lung cancer so her lungs don't work and she has oxygen trickled into her nose by tubes. this book is a sad tail but it also has a meaning. I have thought hard about it and I think the meaning is that the world is not perfect, and even if you have cancer, you have to keep fighting till the end.</span>"

I was not aware that it was a younger person's novel (I'm 39 and female). I don't like the ""trying too hard to be witty"" parts of the book -- mostly in the dialogue between the main characters. It feels fake to me, much like Gilmore Girls. Otherwise, I think it was fairly well written and sweet, and I probably would have really enjoyed it if I were 15-ish. I'm hoping the movie is good. I had no idea that they were making a movie until yesterday, actually.</span>"

Throughout literature, all terminal love stories are almost unbearably sappy and entirely unrealistic.<br/><br/>That's why no one was more surprised than me when I realized that I had fallen in love with everything about this book: its heartbreaking honesty, its humor, its message.<br/><br/>But most of all: Even though it's currently being lauded as a ""young adult romance novel,"" the truth is that I think this book has so much more to offer.</span>"

The only reason I am in love with this is because of the thought put in to this book I really could feel the emotion. Can't wait for the movie to come out!

Such an amazing book, and I hope John stays in control of the movie as well so that a director doesn't screw it up and change to much, keep it simple guys. I don't think if your an emotional person you should not read/listen to this while driving, or in public. You will cry, trust me.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3E1Y2ZT5ZO69B?ASIN=014242417X	Love Death and Cancer	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This story deals with young love. Two young cancer patients meet at a cancer group and fall in love. Hazel does not want the relationship to go past the friendship stage because of the inevitable ending. Augustine persists and the relationship blossoms even while dealing with the cancer they both have.<br/>This is a well written book that gives hope even with the loss that is impossible to avoid. When Gus's cancer recurs , he and Hazel continue their relationship even through the pain. I highly recommend this book for everyone from 13-90.</span>"

I did not feel the emotional impact that most reviewers felt as I saw the plot lines coming well in advance.  That did not take away from the story for me and I thoroughly enjoyed it.  The author is amazing ~ Every bit as good as Erich Segal when he wrote Love Story!  Unlike Erich Segal, I truly hope John Green never writes a sequel to The Fault in Our Stars.  To write a sequel would totally diminish this book. This is a book destined to become a stand alone classic!  If you haven't read it, do it now!</span>"

It's passionately written, and made me cry through the last several chapters. Some reviews say that the interactions weren't believable, but they were. I believed them. Remember that Hazel is a college girl (16) and Augustus is a sophomore,(18). They are both very smart. The book is a modern love story who anyone who has ever loved anyone can relate to this. It is a must read for anyone who loves to<br/>(If you happen to know/be a kid about 7/8 reading this, hold up a few years)</span>"

I saw it was written for teens and young adults so was concerned it might not be something I would relate to....I need not have worried. The book is so well written in the voice of Hazel, the 16 yr old protagonist. There is not a false note; the words and situations are realistic and quite touching. It broke my heart but gave me hope. It was sad but not maudlin. An honest portrayal of adolescents fighting cancer and the adults that love them. A sweet, reflective book.</span>"

It was amazing but I just really hate crying when I read these books.  I'm totally not saying to not get this book because people should, I strongly recommend this book (maybe for ages 13+ there's a lot of cursing and some things that may be inappropriate for anyone younger) but overall it was amazing I cried a lot towards the middle and end, there was also a lot of laughter and happiness too do that's good I give this book an A++++ and a 1,000,000 star rating</span>"

But i never expected it to have such an affect on me emotionally. After reading a pretty sad part in the book, i cannot reveal this event, but one of my friends called to inform my family about a close friend whose PET scan lite up. From this book, i got an understanding of how confusing and tiring life can get for these people. It forces its readers to become empathetic. But trust me, you will not regret it</span>"

When I finally got the chance to, I jumped on it. Now, reading this was for a school assignment, and I loathe the assignment and because it is almost two in the morning, I figured I would finish the book another time and turn the assignment in late. But when I started reading, I got hooked. And now that I have finished the book, I figured why not just do the project. This is an amazing story and it changed me in a way that I don't know how yet, but it did change me.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R27IZQKC2E6RBF?ASIN=014242417X	Kleenex will be needed	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">John Green is the new Nicholas Sparks and The Fault in Our Stars the new The Notebook. What a tragic and beautiful story of the reality of illness, love and loss. This book is written so perfectly and with such a wonderful mix of hope, laughter, &amp; sadness it was hard to imagine that the movie version would be nearly as good, but having seen the movie while midway through the novel I can attest to the fact that the script was kept as near to the book as possible making both utterly timeless and surely this generations greatest love story.</span>"

I think that it was a great story about teenage love, heartbreak, and the vast difference in people's take on life and what you should live for.<br/><br/>I would recommend this book to people who like love stories that are not supernatural, that have a real storyline of something that could possibly happen to themselves, or someone they love and care deeply for, like Hazel's and Augustus's love for each other.</span>"

I'm sure 90% of them thought it was amazing because they're two sick teens that fall in love and one dies. That was just a little thing for me. The way John Green displayed the characters and their traits was absolutely beautiful. The dialogue was so precise and interesting. The way Hazel and Augustus saw things, is just how I see things. And not a lot of people see things that way. Thank you John Green, for such an inspirational and heart warming novel.</span>"

It's like a person from our generation contemplating the Holocaust. It's in the past and has no effect on us, so it doesn't matter. But then again, it does. We have to think about the people who suffered the holocaust and those suffering from cancer because they need our thoughts and prayers! This book gives me a starting point to start thinking about cancer patients an the difficulties they face every day.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R4961YNZZIKT0?ASIN=014242417X	Simple and rich at the same time...great book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Simply written, but in a good way. I finished in two days because it was quite easy as a book. Nonetheless do not mistaken its ease of language with not having a rich substance. It is amazingly rich. Quite a sad story, a few twists and surprises, and most importantly some really interesting characters that give the reader enough character building blocks but not everything. Plus it gives an insight into the world of cancer and the possibility of what these kids might be thinking inside their heads while they carry that horrible disease.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R25T2P5FOA45Q?ASIN=014242417X	John Green Doesn't Disappoint!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Once again, I loved this John Green book.  Fault in Our Stars took a sensitive topic and once again, made it relevant for teens (and adults) living in 2014.  I love his characterization, which always seems well developed.  The story was real, without being overly sentimental.  I couldn’t put my Kindle down once I started reading.<br/>I’m not sure that I want to see the movie.  I don’t know how it could be as good as the book.  I want to hold onto the images of the characters that I have created in my mind.  Definitely a very good read!</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R11IKR8Y3WG33H?ASIN=014242417X	The fault in our stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Loved this book. I could really feel the emotion between the characters. It was a truly touching book.  I, myself, definitely thought that the book was exceptionally believable. Reading this book made me see things from different perspectives and appreciate life on a whole new level. If there is one book that you MUST read, it's THE FAULT IN OUR STARS! The only negative thing I can say about the book, is that at some points I couldn't really feel Hazel's love for Gus, I was just told that they loved each other.  Overall, it was amazing.</span>"

I'm glad I decided to read it! This is my first John Green book and this was a Beautiful love story. ..it lived up to the hype and all the other rave reviews.  Only criticism is what I saw other people comment on... teenagers do not talk the way these characters did... ever.  I understsnd that they have very different circumstances growing up, but no one that age has that vocabulary. Other than that it was wonderful and I highly recommend!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2CRE14ZGLP7GV?ASIN=014242417X	wonderful read!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I absolutely loved this book! I didn't want to put it down, and only did when I had to! I'm not typically drawn to books that have the potential to be sad, but this book was among the top 5 I've ever read! It is so nice to be reminded that no matter what, life goes on. And no matter what you may be facing, others face battles greater than your own. This book depicts love more realistically than most fiction books too. It's nice to see love being recognized as love, but still humanly love in which mistakes are made and no one is perfect!</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1SB5I3MVKBU5U?ASIN=014242417X	Beautifully written	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault In Our Stars was a great book. It was beautifully written and will just suck you in to the story plot. This story was written so detailed and great that at some parts I would get a little confused. It's that good! TFIOS is full of romance and yes, sadness. You'll fall in love with the characters before you even have the chance to say goodbye to some. In the end you'll learn not all characters are what they seem. I recommend this book to anyone that loves a good book, and WARNING! Be prepared to shed a few tears here and there.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R38C6D8KMUEXDB?ASIN=014242417X	Sad and intriguing and wonderful!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read this book at the recommendation of my sister, who said ""you'll like it, it's your kind of story."" And I did like it. I loved it. Read it in two days. Would've taken me just one, but there were things that got in the way like: eating, sleeping, working and children's baseball games. Although, to be fair, I did only halfway pay attention at one game to join the world of Hazel Grace and Augustus Waters.<br/><br/>Loved this book. It was funny and beautiful and sad. I would recommend it to anyone wanting to enjoy a true love story.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3D8XYO177KXSE?ASIN=014242417X	Frustrating	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book although wonderful, makes me sick. Everyone wants a happy ending especially me. I believe Hazel was wrong suffering makes us stronger it makes us into the people we need to be. Hazel is courage she did what she thought was right and put others needs in front of her own. Cancer is not a choice but it is an experience and experiences shape who we are. The universe is letting us have the attention for the present and that's all we can ask for there is no time like the present. The book shows time is our most valuable possession.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2BOFADGIGIW0S?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault In Our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book ... it was something I was unsure about reading at first. I didn't think I wanted to read a book about cancer. And I thought this book would be cheesy and for teenagers. But I actually enjoyed it. I cried at 4 different times. I grinned at many things that Augustus said. He changed Hazel's life.<br/>I didn't particularly care for the ending, just something about it. I felt like I needed to know more... It's not one of those books that you re-read over again, but overall this was a good read. I would recommend it to a friend.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1SQDC23BUOJX2?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I was recommended by every teenager within five feet of me to read this which didn't entice me entirely. I still bought it and gave it a shot. The first few chapters was teeny boppy for met but I kept on, and it really got better. Amazingly better.I was so impressed. It's a beautiful and pretty honest book. This book literally had me busting out loud laughing. I recommend it to teens, adults, everyone. It has a lot of depth that our society needs and makes you ball your eyes out. Do yourself a favor, buy it. You won't have any regrets.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R16ZVF1Z0I1GM9?ASIN=014242417X	Keep your Kleenex handy	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Having lost my mom to cancer 5 years ago, I knew this book was going to take me back to the memory of her own ""heroic battle with cancer"" that like many others in this novel she sadly lost her battle.<br/><br/>This book is tamer version of a truthful reality of cancer. Even if romanticized, but the romance is what draws you in. (Loved the romance!)<br/><br/>This is written more for young adults, but us mature readers can also enjoy this heart wrenching tear jerker, filled with life's thrill ride or emotional highs and lows.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2I0Q6O3BGS3P3?ASIN=014242417X	incredible!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was so addicting I couldn't put it down... Except when I was uncontrollably sobbing like a baby more so towards the end. This book is hands down the greatest book I've read this year and that is a long list. I disappeared from my world and was fully enveloped into this world where Hazel Grace is real and so is everyone else, especially Augustus Waters. I felt true real personal connections with these characters and felt all the pain they felt as I read on. I would absolutely recommend this book to everyone with a soul. Okay.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3IMU3P81ORJQT?ASIN=014242417X	You will most likely not read this, but hey, I can do what I want to.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">As we all know The Fault In Our Stars is a famous book, so much so that it has a movie. I truthfully liked it, it was simplistic and thoughtful. Most book today are so complex and the only ones that are famous are the dystopian thrillers. Are they famous because they are unknown? I guess all humans work that way, we want to know what we can't, but to have a book that doesn't spend half the time in deep and boring explanation. I highly recommend this book to anyone who likes to go through realistic, dramatic, humor-filled love stories.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3J6HIWRLVBGFA?ASIN=014242417X	Fun clever read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">You know, sometimes you read a book and from the first sentence you just know it's brilliant.  The characters are interesting and unusual which is always a drawcard for me.  I like intelligent unusual characters who are dealing with difficult situations and this novel delivers.  It's a quick and easy read and you never have that dragging feeling of having to get through the next paragraph just to get to the story.  In fact I enjoyed it so much that I looked up the author to see what else they'd done!  Find him on youtube - he's funny!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1TX94EIKYZTTC?ASIN=014242417X	great book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I got this book after seeing commercials for the movie. I thought it was a great book!  It really hit close to home after knowing too many children fighting this horrible disease, but I was glad to see it written from the view of one of the children with cancer, to see the world and the people in it through their eyes, and I thought it was pretty spot on.  It can be a hard story to read, but one that I am glad is told so more people can understand and just maybe try to relate better to the kids and families having to go through this.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2CFR0Y2UCF10W?ASIN=014242417X	Loved reading this book!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">John Green has written a beautiful book about life and death, love and loss. I cried. Tears were fllowing and I can't remember a book evoking such sadness and pain. I also laughed out loud, and smiled a lot. I enjoyed the characters of Augustus and Hazel Grace; their sarcasm, intelligence, bravery and humor  made them appealing and likeable.<br/><br/>There are descriptions and phrases I want to remember but probably won't. I did  not want it to end, and I will read it again.  Highly recommend this book, especially for young adults.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R13IJ6BF03OIPU?ASIN=014242417X	HOLY FREAKING COW!!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This was one of the best books I have ever read! The funny thing is though I can't quite put my finger on it as to why. Is it the way that Hazel really didn't want pity and just wanted to live her life? The way the Gus loved her with everything he had? The way Hazel loved Issac and Gus? The courage she showed when she called her idol a horrible alcoholic? I'm not really sure. All I know is that I feel like a better person since I read this. Wow. Best 2 days spent. If you do not read this book you are missing out on a wonderful novel!</span>"

Was in a bit of a hurry to read it before the movie came out, finished it about a couple of days before the movie debuted. John Green did an awesome job, he has definitely climbed the list on my top favorite authors, I'm currently looking for a new book, from his collection to read, as we speak :) ...taped my movie tickets inside the cover of this book, definitely a memory to remember, left the movie theatre with a great deal of appreciation for the people around me and a sense of life.</span>"

I saw this book in an airport bookstore and saw a high rating on amazon.com, knew nothing else about it, and gave it a shot.  A few pages in I said to myself ""oh crap there is that chick flick coming out based on this book... damn it... I don't do romances.  I also don't do sad""<br/><br/>It was both of these, and I loved it anyway.  He writes characters you connect with.<br/><br/>I don't know if I'll see the movie, but I intend to read every book he writes.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1ZS98FEYZFUFC?ASIN=014242417X	Get Ready to Cry	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I wanted to read this book because I had liked Paper Towns by John Green. I had resisted reading the book for awhile just because it seemed to be so popular and the subject matter was depressing. John Green is a good writer (although I am starting to see patterns in his work- currently reading Looking for Alaska). I read Paper Towns within hours as I did with this book. His teenage characters use some vocabulary that I don't even understand as an adult, so I find it a bit hard to believe. This was a sad book. As I expected it to be.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R9CE3CHIP1V7X?ASIN=014242417X	Amazingly insightful, emotional & witty	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">John Green knows people.  He knows emotions. He knows me. This book, although hard to read at points is intricately insightful as well as snarky &amp; unforgiving. The author puts into words things so many have thought &amp; never knew how to voice. The characters are charming in their flaws. When I wasn't reading I wondered what the characters were doing.  However, make no mistake every page is filled with cancer &amp; it's physical &amp; emotional side effects. Anyone who says this is not a book about cancer couldn't be more wrong in my opinion.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R4RRHYY60OQ5B?ASIN=014242417X	Large Box of Tissue Required	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is a 5 star movie because it is loyal to the author of the book and actually shared what I think he wanted his audience to know. The lesson? Life is short, live it to the fullest. There are no judgements here, even when the ""sick"" kids were naughty. The characters are real, with different dreams, different goals and the same wish to be just like the other kids. They share the truth of how hard it is to be a teenager and how much harder it is to be a dying one. Thanks John Green for bringing this story to ""life""</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RH3F8260YY5LO?ASIN=014242417X	Great Read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was an eye-opener to how adolescents with cancer might feel or interact with those around them. The characters were brilliant, they make you wonder how people take life for granted when they have so much more than the characters that are enduring this illness. Van Houten, however, was different than expected. His final behavior is the reason I did the four stars instead of five.  Excellent book, it really made me think and wonder about the fragility of life and how much more can be done to really appreciate what we have.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RQJFMKOW6XN43?ASIN=014242417X	Phenomenal.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is my absolute favorite. I have read it twice, and am now working on my third time around. This book is very true to how life works, so if you're not into that I still encourage you to read it. I have a friend who hates realistic books, but she fell in love with this one. Green writes in a way that feels relatable, and keeps you interested with humor and tragedy. There is a reason they made a movie out of this book, not to mention how well the film is doing. Do yourself a favor and read this book; it just may change you.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R14RTDK94HCDEZ?ASIN=014242417X	beautifully heartbreaking and surprisingly poignant	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The portrayal of death and dying at a young age is such scary territory, but Green manages to do so in a heart wrenching yet beautiful way.  Losing someone you love to cancer (to death in general) is beyond description. Before I read this I thought it would be the type of book you read once, but can't bear to read again. However, upon finishing it I believe that it will be upon the well worn, dog eared favorites on my shelf.  Do yourself a favor and read this one, regardless of the emotional roller coaster it will put you through.</span>"

Shall I just say that it was an amazing book. Not to sound cheesy and feel like I'm quoting from a Tom Cruise movie but it sounded and felt better when read in this book to say ""So dawn goes down today-nothing gold can stay"".</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3B9B1C1S2LIYG?ASIN=014242417X	Just okay	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">First of all, I'm 36 years old, so maybe I'm not the typical reading age for this book.  But with so many of my younger friends being thrilled about this book coming out as a movie, I was intrigued.  It was a quick, easy read, but I just never fell in love with the characters or made any real connection with the story.  As soon as I was done, I was ready to move on - no reflection time needed.  Good books require reflection, or for me, immediate re-reading.  I'd only recommend this book if its cheap and you just want an easy read.</span>"

Upon various rereads and page skims I decided it would only be fair to review it. It's an amazing book. A heartfelt book. One filled with quotes of a lifetime and the impending sadness of an ending. You owe it to yourself to read it. Not because of my positive review or a strangers negative review. But because you owe it to yourself to see how you feel about it individually. That's true with any book. All I can honestly say is that I truly believe anyone would love it.</span>"

But I prefer to read about something that actually happened.

John Green makes the characters as believable as real people. This book is a very moving story about cancer and its effects. What made me keep reading was the relationship between Hazel and Augustus. I love the author's way of expressing each character's feelings. John Green's way of writing is very witty. I really enjoyed the friendships and love between the characters in this book. I recommend this book to anyone who likes to read realistic fiction or love stories.--Savannah Grumbles</span>"

But something I never did, was underestimate Hazel Graces power to knowledge and inspire me. Because of this book I will look at life a whole other way. And be sure to read the rest of your books because I'm sure they won't disappoint. I was fathomed by the way that Augustus died. Though I wish you had written his death with more detail. I appreciate you keeping me from a 10 minute cry. Thank you, for this book, and all your others ~A 13 Year Old Girl.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R28DI5QXLS6T5F?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in Our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Hazel Grace is sixteen and she has Cancer. She meets Augustus ""Gus"" Waters at her cancer support group he also has cancer. Soon they become more than just friends. Through Gus Hazel learns the meaning of life, death, sickness and health. She also finds that everyone is legacy in their own way. A very well written story filled with emotions. I loved Hazel she has a lot of spirit, and her own unique charm. I also liked Gus and his philosophies he is a unique individual. I highly recommend for all ages y/a to adult readers.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2BLDXXBD1T62X?ASIN=014242417X	Worth it!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I'm not really sure why all of these reviews are related to the synopsis of the book itself, because the condition and satisfaction of the purchase are pretty important as well.. With that said...<br/>This book came on time! That's my number one thing when it came to the purchase, as it always is. It was also in fantastic condition, with no visible damages whatsoever, due to the packaging being so well done. I am so thoroughly excited to get my summer reading done, and I'm definitely starting with this book! Definitely worth it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3357ZD2TYI7DU?ASIN=014242417X	I think I hate this world	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I don't know how to comprehend on how someone could write that. I remember reading the twilight books and many other books that were way better than twilight. Every single book I read I wanted to write like the author had. But this is the top of them all combined. And it probably will be for the rest of my life! So I hate this world and people who don't understand that cancer sucks. And not being able to breathe sucks too. If you are reading this and isn't or hasn't read The Fault In Our Stars, what the hell are you waiting for?</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R7GM239TK7HR8?ASIN=014242417X	Beautifully written, emotional, sad but hopeful	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I wouldn't have read this book had I known that the main theme would be cancer, especially kids with cancer. (My fault because I don't like ""spoilers"" so sometimes I don't know much about the book going into it.) In any case, I'm glad I did. Despite being a book with main characters who have cancer, it's uplifting (and, yes, sometimes sad). It's not too sappy or melancholy, either. With that said, I don't plan to see the movie. This was such a lovely read and I'd hate to risk having a movie adaptation spoiling it for me.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1TZDVG2YRHE50?ASIN=014242417X	Funny cute and sad all at the same time	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was amazing! It was cute. It was so funny it made me laugh out loud all the time! My fiance would just give me this look. At one point I was laying in bed reading with my fiance falling asleep next to me and I was crying silently as I read. It went on for pages till I had to put the book down. Then my fiance woke up and looked at me and I started laughing! So I was crying and laughing at the same time but it all sounded like hysterical crying. Anyways the book was fantastic. Easily the best book I have read in a while.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R30ITQTKT1FTGX?ASIN=014242417X	My thoughts on The Fault in our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">My thoughts on this book are ""stars that I can not fathom into constellations"" as John Green has put it. It had made me laugh and made me cry. No other book has done this to me before, it really had touched my heart. I myself have never had an illness like cancer but I do know many people who have cancer and few that had cancer. My mother and I do many things to help with cancer fund raising. This book changes my mind about many things and it really is outstanding. Thank you John Green for sharing your beautiful talents with us.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1U0G7D2W2CH5O?ASIN=014242417X	Great Book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The book was great. I wasn't to happy with the ending. it was just like book Hazel and Gus read. What happens to Hazel, what about her parents, what about Issac. Hazel and Gus went to Amsterdam to get answers on what happens at the end of the book, and they didnt get the answer other than what happened to the Hamster. I know that most likely Hazel meets Gus in heaven, but really wish it went on to let the readers know what happened. It was a great book all together, just wasn't happy with the ending. Can't wait to see the movie.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1VWSR90YE41QW?ASIN=014242417X	Tragic and Moving	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I loved this book, and was very moved by it. The two young characters - both teenagers battling cancer - are unsentimental in their own views of life, and so the book as a whole is saved from being cliche or sentimental (which it could easily have been.) As you journey through their story with them, the questions they and their family members ask about life become your own questions, and that makes it my favorite kind of spiritual novel - one that triggers seeking rather than preaching answers or ideologies. Tragic but worth it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R221VDC6EO8AAL?ASIN=014242417X	A modern classic	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I have not had a book where I both laughed and cried so hard.  Hazel Grace is funny, realistic, warm and extremely witty.  Augustus is her counterpart in every way, and I loved loved LOVED every moment of this book. Seemed to really ground the serious illness experience and make it seem like something people live with as opposed to some diagnosis you get and you disappear off the face of the earth. There was a face to this disease and it was these kids.  I can't wait to read this again. I think I read it too fast the first time.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3CGE1V9G6TFXG?ASIN=014242417X	So touching	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I laughed, I cried, I sobbed! What a beautiful book. The characters and their relationships were amazing and such a sweet love story. The humor in facing cancer, treatments and death as teenagers was emotional yet taken with a twist of laughter. It wrenched my heart but yet it was beautiful. I have never read a John Green book before and was hesitant to read this afraid it would be depressing, but I am so glad I did. We all need a good cry at times, and it gave me a different perspective of youth living with cancer. Remarkable!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1I6GXZOLJ6FJG?ASIN=014242417X	Amazinging honest, funny, and poignant	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Wonderful book about smart and funny teenagers who just happen to have cancer.  Cancer is a big part of their lives but they triumph over it with their attitude and honesty.  As a parent who has experienced having a child with a serious and life threatening illness I understood their hurt and protectiveness and appreciated their allowing their kids to be as normal as possible.  I know young people love John Green's books and now I see why.  As a prude, I guess, I wish the story could have been told to teenagers without the sex.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1SN8MRX23WP1D?ASIN=014242417X	Glad I read this	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">A few people had told me to avoid this book because it was inevitably going to be sad. However, i couldn't help myself. I thought I'd give it a try and decide for myself and I'm very glad I did because this book is beautiful. Yes, I cried for a while and was sad but what I got from the book was so much more. You have to live your life no matter what... And try to make a difference (althoughy very hard to impact the whole world) on at least one person..i believe that is the least we can do. I will be reading this again for sure.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2UQI6SNFDSL77?ASIN=014242417X	The best piece of fiction I have read in over a decade	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I wasn't expecting much when I downloaded this book, I didn't read any reviews before I downloaded the sample which seemed decent and then downloaded the full book.<br/><br/>John Green's writing style is extremely well done and is incredibly engaging.  I will not give anything about this book away.  I will simply say that this book is a great read for teenagers, men, women, adults, seniors... pretty much anyone over the age of 12 that can read.<br/><br/>Do yourself a favour and read this treasure.  You will be glad you did.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R918WR68Z3JJS?ASIN=014242417X	Okay, small spoiler	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">It was a good enough read to finish, but extremely predictable. I think it was too ""Twilight"" for my taste. Also, I found some of the parts to be annoying to read; the many, many conversations about An Imperial Affliction is tiresome. Couldn't grow to care about the page after page of talk about a nonexistent book in the real book I'm currently reading. I get it influenced her, but unnecessary to keep making me read about it to where a fake book takes away from what I'm actually reading. All in all... it was okay for my tastes.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RYADSFXYRS6Z8?ASIN=014242417X	excellently written and engaging	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">My daughter's close friend was recently diagnosed with cancer. We heard about this book and gave her a physical copy as a gift. We decided to get our own ebook copy as well. My daughter and I sat down last night and started reading this. It's excellently written and engaging. we immediately connected with the characters and are now completely sucked in. We can't wait for her to get home from school so we can start reading it again. I only gave it four stars because we haven't finished the book yet. I can update this when we do.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R24Y6OM0FYZ6LJ?ASIN=014242417X	Better than the movie	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">My title is a pretty obvious statement. I saw the movie around the time it cane out but never got around to reading the book. As I got closer to the end, I was proud of myself for not crying but up spoke too soon lol.  I appreciate that I got a chance to go a little deeper into the relationship that hazel and Gus had. That's what made it all the more tear jerking. The author did an awesome job giving a little insight into the lives of cancer stricken kids. I loved the movie but the book made me love the entire story even more.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R29X09XC92J0OW?ASIN=014242417X	OMG	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Dear Dumb People Who think this is just another sob story or a cry for help, SHUT UP. If you say that then it is fairly obvious that your heart, assuming you have one, is as hard stone and as cold as ice.<br/> There are few books in this world that I would even waste my time on, this is one of them.<br/>  I knew that a certain unnamed person (who I will not name in case someone is reading reviews pre-novel) will inevitably die. I had hardened myself mentally hopping not to brake down. Needless to say, it didn't work.😥😭💔💚</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2AO3I3LPX9KS?ASIN=014242417X	Highly Recommended	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I decided to the The Fault in Our Stars a five-star rating because I believe it is highly  to relate to. I mean what teenage girl doesn't want their own 'Augustus Waters', I know I do. I actually saw the movie today and fell in love with the novel all over again. I recommend this book to anyone who will listen. I found that reading this novel became an escape for me from my own problems. Which don't add up to anything near Hazel and Augustus'. This awe-inspiring novel brought much joy to me and I hope it does the same for you.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1OW8SG76AHMEB?ASIN=014242417X	AMAZING	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read this book because I heard it was supposed to be kinda like a walk to Remember and I absolutely adore that book. So, I read it and everyone was telling me that I was gonna cry when I read it, but I didn't surprisingly only one book can make me cry and that's not this one. Well, Anyway I just LOVE the characters and the Plot Twist is AMAZING. I Love Hazel Grace and Gus they have the kind of love that I wish I could have, hopefully someday i will find that love. But you need to buy this book and read it right now!!! #TFIOS</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1G7PLX8AO51NB?ASIN=014242417X	"""Love Story"" for millenials (and their parents)"	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">If  you enjoyed the clever dialogue in Erich Segal's ""Love Story,"" then be sure to read ""The Fault in our Stars""--and chances are your kids will be reading it too. I was initially attracted to the book by the great cover art, the compelling title and the upcoming movie, plus the Amsterdam setting. Young adult literature these days is enjoyed by mature adults, too--in fact, ""Wonder"" was one of my other recent favorites. A beautifully written, tragic love story--Gus and Hazel are the new Oliver and Jenny!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RNOB9ZR94FMB1?ASIN=014242417X	amazing book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">As a mother of a cancer survivor, I was very hesitate to read this book. I thought I would read the first chapter just before I went to bed, by 4am I was finishing the book. Absolutely amazing! I cried, laughed, experienced anger, and felt hope as I turned the pages. It is an must read! Their lives were unstoppable and they shared so much love that even the cancer couldn't stop them from living. Filled with compassion and empathy - kuddos John Green</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3UXBP2ORWOK8Z?ASIN=014242417X	This book does not even deserve to be called a book.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">If you liked this book than it is probably the first book you have ever read. The quotes are just randomly thrown in there and I really do not understand what all of the fangirling is about. The characters are so lame and it was so predictable. I would recommend this only if you have never read a real book before in your life.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RB9LCT3MVOEC9?ASIN=014242417X	Captivating Story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Powerful story of friendship, life and love.  Real life circumstances can oftentimes be so different from the way we see ourselves and others and vice versa.  Perceptions are not expressions of what is really happening but rather our imagination based on who we  are and what our life's experiences have been or maybe just the way we would like for things to be.  Sometimes we long for an answer that just isn't. This  book shakes the foundation of the effects that living, sickness, bonding, love and death can have on one's life.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I shared this with my thirteen year old daughter and we both loved it, but honestly I wish she had been a bit farther into her teen years before reading. Since she enjoyed the book so much, I am sure she will reread it later and get even more out of it the second time through. Hopefully John Green invested in Kleenex before publish this work to capitalize on the increase purchase power A Fault in Our Stars had on the company’s yearly sales. From laughter to tears within moments this read left my heart heavy and my soul light.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1L1PBQT6KHUT0?ASIN=014242417X	seeking the elusive eternal in a universe of finitude	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Lovely novel with simple twists, adorably witty and refreshingly humorous story of juvenile love made mature by the overarching horizon of death and dying. The absurdities of life are inescapably present, and we all walk through life leaving scars on the lives of others, as we try to heal and mend our own wounds caused by them. However, despite the stark condition of contingency, the human spirit always drives an infinite wedge for meaning to emerge. A must read for those seeking the elusive eternal in a universe of finitude.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RRNDMSXMCH4Z7?ASIN=014242417X	A bit disappointed	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The book did not move me as much as I had anticipated.  This is possibly due to the huge amount of hype generated by the movie.  In fact, I read the book precisely to beat out the huge amount of press coverage I knew the movie would create.  Don't get me wrong--the book was well written and dealt with the weightiest of issues. It's deserving of all the acclaim it has acquired. But for some reason I was not as affected emotionally as I thought I would be.  Well, it's marketed as a YA novel, and maybe at 74 I'm just too old :).</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1J3XV7O42QCH9?ASIN=014242417X	wonderful	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I loved the stile it is so real. It reminded me of a friend from middle school with leukemia (r.i.p. We love you Sarah) and I hate reading but it pulled me in I had to finish it as fast as I could. It was sad but I love the it of it that hazel is scared that she is a grande. Lacking self conference oil ever other girl ever. I didn't like that I ended up crying at school but it was worth my time reading and I recomend the fault in our stars to anyone that wants a great author john green to create this and other great books. 😍</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2395O7C6SZD9U?ASIN=014242417X	Inspiring	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book had me glued and held my attention even in the most everyday duties when I wasn't reading.  The author writes beautifully and smoothly, making you forget you're the reader instead of the main characters.  Being married to a cancer survivor who mirrors Gus's charming and positive personality...this story had me in tears and makes me appreciate how fragile life is and how easy it is to take it and the people you love most for granted.Thank you for this love story...I am honestly inspired to be, live, and lover deeper.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R19QATMLJ5L8ML?ASIN=014242417X	Sentimental, a page-turner	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I zoomed through this fine book because I could not wait to see what would happen next. Super character development. It brought to mind the times I have thought about oblivion, about the loved ones I had lost to illness, about how I will be remembered. Only minor criticism: Some of the existential dialogue was a bit unrealistic for teenagers. But it usually worked, so it's more of an observation than a criticism. Very well done. I'll give the author the greatest compliment a reader can pass along: I'll probably read it again.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1BCABSX1OU0TP?ASIN=014242417X	Worth the tears	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I was definitely worried this would just be a sappy book about young love and that everyone would die in the end, but it is well written, the characters are not perfect or victims.  The things you think are going to happen don't exactly happen the way you are expecting.  I found this book incredibly enjoyable, even considering the subject matter.  The teens were teens, the parents were parents.  Not perfect and all dealing with situations the only way they knew how and all out of love.  There needs to be more books like this.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R10YZJRE7F1M1H?ASIN=014242417X	Brought me to tears	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is such a beautiful story, not about cancer, but about first love. I lost my mother to cancer and while some scenes from the book brought back painful memories, it allowed me to look back on that time with a different perspective. Instead of anger and sadness, I am able to see that cancer only takes what you allow it to. Cancer cannot steal love or humor, just like Gus and Hazel showed throughout the story. Whether you have been personally touched by cancer or not, this story is worth every minute spent reading it.</span>"

I have read so many books in my life, but never one anything like this. I want to break down and cry and tell myself- it's only a book. But, no. It's not only a book. This has real feelings and things that happen to at least one person. This has real things that happen. I love it and hate it at the same time because, one, it's a wonderful book. And, two, it didn't end the way I wanted it too. But that also makes it good. I love it. Thanks, John Green. For writing.<br/><br/>-Emma C. B.</span>"

So, I had to hurry and get reading when she told me the movie was out. I am so glad I did!!  What a great piece...well written. Warning...one part not really appropriate that some may object for a younger reader...but my daughter didn't say anything and it's not graphic or explicit in any way, I would say but don't want to spoil it for you.

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3NBVHIANVWPK6?ASIN=014242417X	I cried, was amazed, and enlightened.  I hardly ever cry.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is not only about courage and strength concerning children with cancer, but shows us the vast enlightenment they gain regarding life and their frank observations on death.  They become wise.  Plus a great contrast on how people without cancer act around those who KNOW they are going to die.  They cannot face their own mortality while these kids are brave.  Plus, one of the best, innocent and pure love story woven through.  I cried a throat burning sob.  Rarely does a book touch me so deeply.  Must read!  Or listen!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1O5S9WR4CBRX?ASIN=014242417X	The Great Star Crossed Love Of My Life	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The most honest and yet tastefully withholding piece of literature I've ever read. It was quick but it was slow. The story of Hazel Grace and Augustus Waters was romanticized but not excessive. Basically a compilation of ands and ors. It is everything and it is nothing. For the short time I read it, this book challenged me, it comforted me, it saddened me. The fiction became real as all the best books do. And as the best ones do, it seemed infinite, yet the end was a satisfying relief. Immediately I wanted it to start again.</span>"

A well told tale that gives us all some insight into the cancer victim's experience and what is and is not appropriate behavior for us bystanders.  As I was reading it, I posted this comment to Facebook.....  ""I'm reading ""The Fault In Out Stars"", by John Green. Goodness gracious, I dearly love it when well constructed sentences and esoteric words come, not in dribbles, but in floods. - Time to keep reading. Bye."".  I loved this book from beginning to end.

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RJGCLUV967L46?ASIN=014242417X	Recommended for people who don't take life too serious and take time to laugh	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Some people may be offended by some of the ""cancer"" humor in this book.  It was a fast read.  As a three time cancer survivor myself, and having a beloved brother who passed away from cancer, I could relate to a lot of it.  I found the best way to deal with cancer is to have a good sense of humor.  My brother was the funniest person I knew, and he was funny up to the end.  I recommend this book.  People who never had cancer will get an idea about how to act around people with cancer.  It made me laugh and it me cry.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2CV5U3RK2NKU0?ASIN=014242417X	GREAT book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I wanted to read this book before I watched the movie.  Funny how most everyone I know said for me to please not read it. I was just diagnosed with ovarian cancer and will be starting the awful battle of cancer.  I felt the book helped me, made me feel like even with such a horrible curse that I am not alone. No matter what the reality is of our fictional or non fictional cancer stories, to just have a fantasy of a great love story, to get out of our heads for awhile and enjoy a GREAT book can help with whatever is to come.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1NWKGXZL2X2H2?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in Our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Great story and great writing.  I find it hard to believe a man wrote this book and did an excellent job of putting us in the shoes and the actions of teenagers.  In fact until you get into this story you will find your self thinking, why am I reading this teeny bopper story.  But you soon realize it is a story for everyone and hope you never live it.  This is especially good for people who think they are invincible and will live forever.  Only problem I had was some of the vocabulary was inserted just to wow or impress us.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RHCSEHVG08WZ7?ASIN=014242417X	Definitely a page turner	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The amount of symbolism in this story is amazing; there's meanings behind different meanings. There is definitely more to it than I'm getting. Even with that aside the plot and dialogue was very engaging I read this in less than 30 hours. From an amazing interdiction to an ending that brought tears to my eyes (no spoilers) and throughout the whole story I never felt Bored. Every moment my eyes left the screen was a moment waisted I recommend this book to anyone with a beating heart. Thank you John Green extraordinary  book.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2PEL41ALM4H8G?ASIN=014242417X	The thing about pain is that it demands to be felt...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is truly an outstanding book. Every character has such a deep personality that connects you to them. This book was heart breaking. I cried because of what was happening in the book and because I could relate it to my life too. Pain does demand to be felt, and in such a harsh way. It stabs us in the gut, merciless to what it does to us. We have all cried so hard that we end up curled in a ball, sobbing silent tears. This book relates do much to our lives. It's an eye opener. I highly recommend it. It sort of changed me.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2AKMO7U5TJCXL?ASIN=014242417X	Any age	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Despite being a secondary English teacher, I'm usually not into reading books in the YA genre outside the classroom.  I end up disappointed with the corny story lines, the naive or oversimplified characters, or the unoriginal ideas. This book, however, is fantastic.  I love how real and complex the characters are -- mature and juvenile at the same time.  I've recommended this book to all of my students, to my mom, to my friends, and each one who has read it has loved it.  I haven't read a book this universal in a long time.</span>"

I bawled my eyes out!  Started very early in the book, progressed exponentially as I got to know the characters.  I could not put the book down because I really liked John Greene's writing style.  I have to say I also laughed and chuckled.  I would put a warning sign that unless you have pa heart of stone, you will cry, and maybe get mad at the unfairness of the universe, and possibly question your religious beliefs.  Just saying.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R32NROFF4MMT7Q?ASIN=014242417X	Change your thinking	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">One of the things I truly enjoyed about the book was the mentality presented from a young cancer patient.  From the qualification of a good nurse to cancer perks, it opened a world for me of what kids with cancer experience.  Everything does not always work out the way you would choose, and that is reflected in the book.<br/><br/>Any book that challenges your thinking is a good book, even if some concepts presented go against your core beliefs.  We should all be challenged more.  Thanks, John Green, for an excellent read.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1FEFSIEMUEOBJ?ASIN=014242417X	love story that I liked	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book. I read it in two sittings. The second sitting being because I had to eat. I like the voice of the protagonist. If you're planning on seeing the film adaptation, please take the time to lose yourself in the book inspiration. Makes you think about life. Hazel and Gus had an impossible love story, but it wasn't nauseating..it was realistic. Not knowing much about the authors writing style, the way the characters related was refreshing. Can't wait to see the film, fingers crossed it doesn't ruin my new favorite book!</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1QAYPDGYWPI2D?ASIN=014242417X	Not enough	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I'm not really sure how to describe this book except it's not quite enough. How can you not love Augustus Waters? How can you not love Hazel? Or Isaac? But I can't fathom actual teenagers having the discussions these kids have. Their words sound much more like words tenured professors of literature at Harvard or Yale would use? Why was there no redemption for Van Houten? Why was there no more about Hazel? What about Isaac? Hazel's parents? My questions are a lot like Hazel's questions for Van Houten. There needs to be more.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2YPY5EJQB3HPB?ASIN=014242417X	Excellent Read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is great. You will love the 2 main characters, they are witty, funny, and adorable. I was actually laughing out loud while reading this! While this book is called a love story between kids dying of cancer, it's about much more than that. I would say the book is more of a commentary of life, and there are many lines that will make you stop reading and think about what was just presented.<br/><br/>This is considered a teenage/young adult novel, but I very much enjoyed it as a college student. Couldn't put it down.</span>"

2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R14EHSOON79I3A?ASIN=014242417X	I think it would have been better if the characters acted more their age	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">It was an ok book. I really don't think it lived up to expectations considering how obsessed people are over it. It's a classic cancer novel. I think it would have been better if the characters acted more their age. I know they are supposed to be more enlightened than the average teen, given their precarious mortality, but it made the characters a little annoying. But this book delivers the basics of a digestible novel--you laugh a little, cry a little and you finally get to tell people you read yes, you've read this book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RZOBV3RQMQ8T4?ASIN=014242417X	Heart Touching, AMAZING, emotional book!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I think the book was very touching and an emotional book. It was like I was right then in there, it was an amazing experience and I loved it and I thought it couldn't get ANY better. I am ready to watch the movie. At the beginning, to tell the truth, I didn't think it would be THAT GREAT! But when I read page 1 I fell in love with it already! I recommend this to anyone but not to kids because it has bad language. Even though I am only 12 I fell in love just like Hazel and Gus. It's a great book, needless to say... READ IT!</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R376MISCHWXQO2?ASIN=014242417X	One of my favorite books ever!!!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I really really loved this book! Actually named one of my favorite books that I've read. It got me so emotional. The movie was also amazing and I enjoyed every second of it. I bawled like five times during the movie. Since I didn't finish the book before seeing the movie, I had only read half of the book. It totally killed me. I can't stop thinking about this book. Great job John Green! It should have had a happy ending though! Anyways, it was amazing the way it was written. I really really really really really enjoyed it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RSJLFWOCM6VS0?ASIN=014242417X	I kind of expected more...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I was  browsing through a list of recommendations to see what book to read next, and I couldn't help but let this book catch my eye. I've read other books by John Green, and they all were very good and had a firm grip on my attention, but I felt as if I finished this book for the sake of finishing it... Not to say it was  a bad book, because it wasn't, but everything just seemed too unrealistic and at times it jus dragged on. A mediocre book at best; I just hope John Green's next book does the justice of his previous ones.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1UVE3104XL4KI?ASIN=014242417X	Cancer survivors' thoughts!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">To start,I am a bookaholic, and a cancer survivor. I have a vast knowledge regarding feelings that are not easily put in print, and have read print, that does not necessarily reflect how i felt while going through treatment either. This book, is spot on. I found myself saying,""hey thats how i felt,"" multiple times which in turn, emmersed me into this story even further. I recommend this book because its a story that demonstrates, a authors research into a story and makes it real for the reader! Read on my friends!</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RW5SL5W4QZ4K7?ASIN=014242417X	couldn't put it down	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I had waited quite a while before ordering this book even though it received great ratings. I thought it would be too depressing reading about kids with cancer. It is nothing like I expected. I enjoyed every minute of reading this book. The characters are brilliant and lovable and funny as hell. Instead of depressing me, this book reminded me of what life is really about. It was thought provoking and there was a never a dull moment. I recommend this book for teens and adults, as I am an adult who was truly captured by it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2GNB26VB2CGQR?ASIN=014242417X	Always a Favorite	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book isn't your usual cancer story. It is much more than just a couple falling for each other with common ups and downs. This book is incredible in so many different ways. The characters just relate to you so much by their thoughts, actions and reactions, and dialogue. It will make you express your feelings about this book in many ways like crying, grinning at random parts, laughing, and even getting angry at a couple of the characters. I am 13 years old and I'm pretty sure this book will always be one of my favorites.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R34KD27VKD8A5B?ASIN=014242417X	An interesting story of hope.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Profoundly touching story that shows within the shadows of illness there are shards of light that give hope and comfort to those that live it. This gave me insight into the families that cope with the emotional issues and with the participants that struggle with defining some sort of normalcy in their lives. Coupled with a love story of two survivors struggling with the same goal... Survival it gave me hope but it also made me see that there might not be a silver lining in every cloud...that is the way life is sometimes.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1SI2SSESJCKNX?ASIN=014242417X	This book sucked.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I am a girl, if anyone was wondering. I thought this story would be good, because my friend read the book and saw the movie and said it was great. I am disappointed. For one, it was very rushed, and a rushed book makes a bad book. You know why? Hazel gets back from trip and Gus is like ""oh no I'm in a wheelchair now and I'm sick."" Doesn't that seem kinda weird? I may not know much about sicknesses but COME ON!!!! TRY TO EXPLAIN THE FREAKING SICKNESSES IN THIS STUPID BOOK AT THE BEGINNING OR SOMETHING!!!!!!! SERIOUSLY!!!!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2844KMTKMKAXW?ASIN=014242417X	Crying? Yeah, It Happened.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I never cry while reading a book. I can get close, but I never do. You know what they say: There's a first time for everything.<br/><br/>There is a critique on the back of the cover of this book: ""This is a book that breaks your heart - not by wearing it down, but by making it bigger and bigger until it bursts."" There is no better way to put this. I wasn't one hundred percent sad when I cried. It was a mix of happiness and sadness. It's hard to explain, but there's only one thing I can tell you: Read this book.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R4H7QOMELAFTC?ASIN=014242417X	Triumph over Tragedy	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is authentic. It is our book club choice this month. It is a love story about two teenagers with cancer, who have a poor prognosis. Why do I say it is authentic? Because my 16 year old daughter had cancer, and our family lived this story. The book is beautifully written. The characters are thoughtful, fun and real. There is a twist. There is suspense. There is adventure. There is humor. There is triumph. The book will help you appreciate the lengths people will go through to live quality, loving lives each day.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2AE0XLYR6RZ1V?ASIN=014242417X	Good	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">While I liked the book; it was an ""easy"" read as the story flows well... it felt like something a hopelessly romantic teen would list as their favorite-of-all-time.<br/>It is sad. I felt the author was able to describe grief well. I did find myself wondering if he sat writing with a thesaurus in his lap as EVERY OTHER WORD isn't the most commonly used conversational lingo. I wasn't baffled or anything, just wondering ""who actually speaks this way?"" Am I out of touch with true hipsterhood? Maybe. I don't say ""flummoxed"".</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RW0Z70X39UTW7?ASIN=014242417X	Movie before book, or have the tissues ready.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">There has been so much talk about this book and the film, but some how I managed to avoid any spoilers. Began reading simply knowing it was about a girl with cancer. If you can manage the same, there are two options: watch the movie first to prepare yourself, or grab a box of tissues and settle in.  An easy read but satisfying, and more substantial than most young adult love stories. Highly recommend, especially for my fellow readers who fall in love with fictional characters and become totally invested in their antics.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R5GKNSL7K9XJO?ASIN=014242417X	Great Book!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">It is such an emotional story, and I enjoyed it even though I'm not into books and stories like this normally. But it's not all doom and gloom, it starts of with witty humor and banter between the main characters, and you enjoy getting to know more about them. It's a sad book but not depressing, it gives a glimmer of hope an raises awareness of terminal illness in young adults, something I know the author wanted to address. It was vvery well written and I would read it again!<br/><br/>PS Now I have to watch the movie.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R27KD3PXSWQPYI?ASIN=014242417X	Could not find many faults in these Stars.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I love this book. What I have loved most was being able to share it with some of my grand daughters.<br/>Remembering first love was a joy for a person of my age. ( 66 years old.) The book is very well written.<br/>A lot of laughter and some tears. Being grateful for the life we have, was what I came away with.  Looking forward to<br/>reading the next of John Greens books.  My only disappointment is that in the audio CD, I would like a male voice and a<br/>female voice rather than the same reader doing all the parts.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R39YTJZ181M0SE?ASIN=014242417X	Love it	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I love The Fault in Our Stars. I have read this book so many times(even though I am only 13 and do not understand some of it). I believe it really captures the essence of living and the essence of death. The only thing that I disagree with Hazel about is the thought of Heaven. I know she is starting to believe it at the end,however I have not had any doubts. I KNOW there is a Heaven. And while Augustus Waters was only a fictional character, I believe he would be there... And Hazel Grace, eventually, with him. God bless.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RNG9PD20UXHU5?ASIN=014242417X	A must read!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Dealing with teenagers dying is a tough subject to write about, not only is it a subject most of us either can’t or won’t face but it is difficult to keep the characters real and natural – our true fallible human personalities are only amplified by difficult times. John Green has not only created strong, believable characters whose circumstances ring true, but has interwoven the story with humour, hope and emotion. A must read.<br/><br/>My only concern is that the uninspiring cover will put off many potential readers.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1JTD8RM57EKWK?ASIN=014242417X	There was a waterfall down my face by the end	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Now I'm already a pretty emotional person, but its been a long time since a book actually made me cry THIS much. I though TFiOS was terrific. I enjoyed the intelligence and wit from the two teens, yet how they were still portrayed as teens. Certain mannerisms or word used still kept them real. The parallels between the main character, Hazel Grace, and her favorite book were present and heartbreaking. I enjoyed how real this was, the ending was bittersweet. Not happy sunshine and rainbows. But bittersweet is how life is.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R371Z05LMTJKCU?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I really, really enjoyed reading this book. It makes you aware of how precious health is and how difficult it is to live with cancer. AND I LOVE how unselfish Hazel was about not wanting to just quit and die because she didn't want her parents to suffer.<br/>It kind is a very sad book since main characters have cancer, however the author does a good job at making it humorous and entertaining. Also makes you be grateful about your healthy life and everything else it's just pathetic. Great book. Read if you get a chance.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RJD9AGTMEKULV?ASIN=014242417X	A Must Read!!! Great Life Lesson.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I viewed the movie first and was so very inspired by the story that I decided to read the book. The book provides a little more details than does the movie, but the movie followed the book so very closely that the full embodiment of the story stayed intact.<br/>This book and movie depict such a positive perspective and view of life - whether you face challenges like Gus and Hazel Grace - appreciate what you have in front of you!!!<br/>""I fell in love (with this story) the way you fall asleep: slowly, and then all at once.”</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R149BIL3SUAFVR?ASIN=014242417X	A Lovely Love Story that I loved.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">A beautifully written story about teenagers with cancer, who wouldn't let their illness define them.<br/>They tried to be  ...as in exist, beyond their illnesses. From Isaac who lost both eyes to cancer, to the professor who literally wasted his brilliant life,  indirectly through the hurt of his dying daughter and her fight .<br/>This was a LOVE story first and foremost,  with some wit and some  profound  moments.<br/>I loved the story, but found it to be sad. Like they say, stupid cancer, why can't we find a cure.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RKBZ14VRJ9Z1R?ASIN=014242417X	Very thoughtfully put together	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was a very thoughtfully put together read.  It dealt with what I felt was a lot of real human feelings, not just what you normally expect to hear.  Great love story the adventure and experience of Amsterdam was truly a high point in the story.  Needless to say I enjoyed this book......my only regret is that I didn't see the movie first.  It is my experience that if I read the book before seeing the movie then I am left with a feeling of lost all that was not able to be put on film because of time constraints.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R13CAJD3NSVTFB?ASIN=014242417X	Truly...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I can't put into words what this book made me felt...I can compare it to the idea of a roller coaster made of feelings, but in truth it kind of fills you up. In my experience it made me reflect about life and death and how we have such little time on earth to really appreciate what's around us. Anyways without further extension of this review it is a great novel to read and reflect upon, do not take it lightly, and enjoy this great literary piece.<br/>Not giving it 5 stars just because...I'm uncertain of the answer...</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RBU7WBI2KQYF9?ASIN=014242417X	The fault in our stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Everyone has the chance to live no matter if it's 5 minutes or 5 centuries. This book taught me to appreciate the 12, almost 13 years of life I have and to love what God gave me and that no matter what, ""I'm on a roller coaster that's only going up."" Hazel Grace Lancaster and Augustus Waters are now what I view as idols, though fictional. Both characters have a story to tell based on bravery and finally letting go. I am no Peter or Augustus but I can write. This is a book I will read for eternity. Thank you John Green!</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">this book is so much like the real thing I am from a tiny town in Tennessee and we have had a serious death of a woman named Lorie Pearson she was a mother of three kids, kaleb ,konnor, and kade , and a wife to Johnny Pearson. together they started the never quit foundation. This foundation has now helped every single person living with cancer in the west Tennessee area ......... now she has left her mark and I will forever have a scar but it is not a bad scar it is a well deserved one,one that I am proud to call mine.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R4DJDDQ5IBTPJ?ASIN=014242417X	Thoughts	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">It is 3am and I'm tired and my eyes are soaked. When I look back at the scope of things I realize this book is full of cliches trying too hard not to be cliches. That I knew Gus was going to die, I but when he did, I still cried. This convinces me that this overall was a good book. I think if I read it again ill cry just the same. Because the characters felt real and on a certain level cliches are somewhat real too. So the girl who has cancer and hates group therapy is predictable but the way she loved this boy is not.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R5XEOKQHGKGUI?ASIN=014242417X	Holy tear jerker.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">If you don't like young adult books, don't read this. It is wrought with young love, teenage thought process, and discovery. I enjoyed the book immensely although I did cry the entire second half of the story. I am a mother and I am a wife. The idea of losing the love of my life is a fear of mine. Losing a child is unthinkable. I suffered multiple miscarriages and was finally blessed with a child and he is my world. If you are a parent or happily attached and want something to remind you to appreciate them, read this.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3B4DC7MLUGVDX?ASIN=014242417X	The fault in our stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The book was amazing and well written.  Deep philosophical thoughts and questions about the universe and dying.  I couldn't not find humor in the book.  However, I did not find that to be a bad thing.  Moreover, I also could not seem to put it down as I wept towards the end.  The book is not for the faint at heart, therefore, one needs to keep an open mind about ALL VIEWS of dying.  It's one of the most powerful books I have read in a long time.  I finally found the peace I have been looking for, for the past 7 years.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2FQFKYP3Y4I1B?ASIN=014242417X	Good read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars follows a teenage girl named Hazel Grace. Hazel has cancer and will therefore die sooner than later. She isn't living a much of a live anymore after finding out about her cancer and prefers watching America's Next Top Model with her mother instead of going out. But that is all about to change when she meets the hot Augustus Waters.<br/>This book is beautifully written and makes you think about how unpredictable life really is and teaches us to use the time we have on this planet as best we can.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RKFM5XXETOL57?ASIN=014242417X	A Beautiful Story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I became interested in this book because of my friends who read it, and that it was made into a movie. I liked the honesty of what it might feel like to know what will likely cause your death and that your time on earth is more limited than many people. I liked the characters and their ability to joke about their situation even though they were likely very afraid. It was beautifully written and will stay with me. Great books are those that you wish would never end and stay with you long after you read the final words.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RDRK0UX2QZ8JB?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in the story...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Overall the story was very easy to follow, and a good one to read. I liked the characters right away, they seemed very real and relatable. The story was very simply and eloquently written...and chocked full of emotion. The only fault I found in the story; it ended as abruptly as it began...which I suppose, to some, is perfect, considering the storyline. I guess I just wanted to want more...to walk away thinking about it, more. Nonetheless, this is a beautiful story, and I know my older teenaged daughters will love it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RBIPLSDHKZQPT?ASIN=014242417X	Unusual love story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Having recently dealt with illness and death I was looking for a story that showed that good things can happen to those who are ill.  This story did just that.  A bit of an unusual love story, but it was a love story.<br/><br/>I found the characters to be believable and likable.  I would have liked there to be more content to the love affair.  I wanted to read more about their time together.  I understand that illness shortened their time, and maybe that's just the point, but I wanted to read more of the good stuff.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3IQZ830J9RGKV?ASIN=014242417X	Good story, not a great ending	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I enjoyed this book, but the ending was extremely predictable. I felt like there was something missing at the end, something unresolved that could have made this book more ""whole"" and enjoyable (regarding Van Houten's involvement with Gus' letter). I tried many times, but couldn't find myself getting emotionally attached to the characters in this story, which made it hard for me to stay engaged. I'd recommend this to the 14-24 crowd, but think older readers might have a difficult time getting into it (I'm 32).</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RTX80PNN5C7XY?ASIN=014242417X	One of the best books I've ever read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I know that's a bold statement. But it's true. I read a lot of fiction and I rarely take the time to write reviews. But this book blew me away. I bought it because so many people had given it rave reviews and now I understand why. It's been a long time since I've been so sad to finish a book. John Green is a true talent. The story will tangle you in a web of emotion and laughter. I can't say enough good things about this book. I've told everyone I know to read it and will probably be reading it again every few months.</span>"

It is about kids, In a support group, because they all have cancer. It is told through the eyes of a 17 year old girl. Her questions and her wonder and her sense of humor keep this book interesting. How they care about, and bolster up their friends and the things, physical and emotional, they go through, makes you see things in a different way. It sounds like it would be only a sad book, but It is not. It is a real book about real things that happen to real people.</span>"

Love between a boy and a girl is unbreakable. Many people in the world are fighting against cancer and all of them will be remembered. as this book describes- people only remember heros. they don't remember true fighters. We should all look up to REAL fighters- they need to be our heros. while we wake up in our normal lives every morning- they are fighting for theirs. everyone who is fighting for their lives today will always be remembered in my heart.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RVGG6TT31YG3G?ASIN=014242417X	Not quite my cup of tea, but a decent love story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I was interested in reading this book, because I had read books that were in a similar vein a number of years ago (they were by Lurlene McDaniel), and I was curious how this one compared. Overall, this was a decent story. The main characters were somewhat likeable, and it was a charming love story, in its own way. What I didn't like: it had a little too much philosophy in it, for my tastes, and I wasn't crazy about some of the language. Aside from those things, it was a decent book, and I am curious to see the movie.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">A well written book that is self inflated nonsense using a tragic, fatal illness in order to tug at heart strings and try to make the reader sympathize with the characters...falls flat though. Filled with angst ridden teenagers that are completely full of themselves...each character is totally unlikeable. The pseudo-philosophical thoughts and conversations are not what I remember as a teenager and I don't believe that's how they are today. Hazel and Augustus are want-to-be intellectuals that really are just annoying.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2143DKXHLPEQI?ASIN=014242417X	Well written and interesting	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The story felt honest and like it came from a pure place. There were some things that I felt could have been handled better (for all the praise heaped on Hazel Grace for her uniqueness, she sure does watch a lot of TV). But, the truth is, I'm so far outside this book's target demo, my criticism is hardly valid. As far as YA goes, this is some good work and you should feel confident that the price of admission is well worth it for this type of entertainment.<br/><br/>Thought provoking and honest in many subtle ways.</span>"

That there is now a t-shirt...and it's not ""Okay"" to buy it if you don't understand the ""why"" of it...somehow going commercial for the movie bugs me...but that is me...John Green really does ""get"" teens...good for him...and all his other books are on my list to read for the work I do in classrooms.  It's worth the time!  Very worth the time.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2S8IGMSGEV2O3?ASIN=014242417X	This Book Changed Me	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book tells a love story that I felt was so real and I was heartbroken at the ending but I loved how that this was the first book that ever made me cry. The Fault In Our Stars made me wants to fin someone who would love me like Augustus did to Hazel. It made me smylathize even more with cancer patients. But most of all it changed my outlook on life, love, health, death, an adventure. This book taught me that you have to cherish every moment that us given to you and to think of it as a forever no matter how short.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R17F2UM09DZVRN?ASIN=014242417X	Quite possibly the best book I've ever read...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">There is no ""dislike"" to consider...I loved it beginning to end. This is a real human read. I felt every emotion possible between the covers of this book. I made my family crazy while I read allowed so many lines that were hysterical or poignant or thought provoking. And I doubt I'm the only one who, when Hazel initially spoke about An Imperial Affliction, immediately went online to research whether it was real. That book, if ever written, would give me closure, in the same way  Augustus' final 4 pages did for Hazel.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3VZ1YKBVTMEVC?ASIN=014242417X	It worked!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book hits home, as my daughter passed away from a rare form of sarcoma when she was 18.  I normally don't read young adult books but I couldn't pass this one up.  Surprising that it was written by a male author with a young female point of view.  It worked!  Although it was a short read, it kept my interest and the ending was emotional for me.  I would definitely recommend this book to nearly anyone, especially to fathers of cancer stricken daughters, you will get a point of view that you may not get otherwise.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R5PTNQYQ67IR5?ASIN=014242417X	Best Book Ever!!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Hazel is a smart and interesting girl. Her love with Augustus Waters is to beautiful to put into words. When Augustus died I literally cried. The note he wrote to Hazel was wonderful. My friend let me borrow the book on the bus home from an Orioles game. I got to the 6th chapter in 30 minutes. When I got home I downloaded the book on my kindle. After I got it I couldn't put it down. I would bring it to the dinner table and read it. I finished the book in 1 month. It was beautiful.<br/>Great job John Green. 5 stars.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1B0OFB0EMRC6N?ASIN=014242417X	Must Read!!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was simply moving. For one, I always told my mom I didn't want to be another statistic. I was going to change the world somehow. This book is extremely home hitting for someone who has had a family member that went through cancer. I absolutely loved the book, and would recommend it for any body. This book has gotten me hooked on John Greens publications. It is well written, and I ended up not being able to put it down. Through smiling, laughing, and completely sobbing...I give this book a five star rating.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RN7LIZZ117II1?ASIN=014242417X	Such heartbreaking greatness!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">So, WOW, this book.  This book is about children who have cancer but it is so much more than that.  It is about relationships, love, friendship, acceptance of the inevitable, and how to deal with the inevitable, untimely death, and living each day as your best day.  The friendship between Augustus and Hazel was dynamic and wonderful.  You think it is going to turn out one way and then the author throws a huge wrench in it and goes a completely different way.  I laughed hard and cried harder.  What a great surprise!!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3D9679FRBF0AM?ASIN=014242417X	Teenage love and despair	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I held off on reading this book because I thought it was over hyped. However I thought the author told a beautiful story. One I thought the author from 50 shades should take note of. My only issue which was mentioned was sometimes the language used for teenagers seemed too elegant. If she would have said they were geniuses I would have believed it. Yet I rather elequoent writing than simple and repetitive anyday. Overall I would recommend this book to others. If you have a soft spot just know this is a tear jerker.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2GYWWDXUPVVEW?ASIN=014242417X	True love tragedy	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Shows that true love is blind.  It doesn't see illness or ugliness.  Even in such young people.  Youth feels things so intensely without the years of experience that over time dulls our senses.  First love is sharp and intense.  We all remember our first love looking back on it through our life times.  Remembering our first kiss.  First time holding hands that are sweaty from nerves.  That feeling of breathlessness as we stand next to our first love.  Thinking that every minute away from our love feels like a year.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RDJGY1B12WSOM?ASIN=014242417X	Okay? Okay.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Without trying to sound like a book snob, I normally wouldn't chose to read such a novel. But, since it was selected by the organizer of a book club I recently joined, I decided to give it a whirl. Three days later, and I was done. This book really does suck you in, page by page, word by word. The two main characters are truly wonderful and it's a joy to see their relationship develop. Definitely worth a read if you're not quite sure which book to pick up next. Also, you'll understand my headline once you do. Okay.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/ROUPL24E8B6B0?ASIN=014242417X	Must read!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I couldn't put this down and I finished it in 2 days which is amazing for someone like myself who struggles with reading. This story captivates you from the first page and embraces you until the very end. John Green does an astounding job at giving life to his characters, by the time you are finished reading this story you feel bonded to Hazel and Agustus as if they have always been part of your life and always will. Even though this book was written for the YA genre I highly recommend this book for adults as well.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R4B8I5KJ6132V?ASIN=014242417X	Metaphoric Resonance	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The only way I could describe this book is ""Metaphoric Resonance"" which is a term used in this book. This book observes the perspective of teens dying of cancer. Their struggles with the life that remains, love, heartache, life and the choices we are given. Dreams, beliefs and more. I laughed and even at one point, a moment I was caught off guard by a moment in reality which happened at the same time, I even cried. John Green gives subtle poetic observations on all these things in this book. I recommend it!</span>"

I honestly had friends over and while they are all gossiping I was sitting on the couch curled up in a ball reading. Some people say it's a sad book but to be honest I disagree. I see so much positivity out of it. By reading this book I have a new perspective on life, love and friendship which sounds kinda quire and all but it's true. If you haven't read it yet I strongly suggest reading it. I can't wait for the movie I hope it's as good as the book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R24AZXBGDCO8YL?ASIN=014242417X	Beautifully written	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was recommended to me by so many diverse people,  I became intrigued and had to discover its appeal myself.  I found myself enthralled and literally could not put it down.  This book is both beautifully written and haunting.  Having lived through a similar experience approximately ten years ago, I was left reeling from the aftermath of reading such a potent and poignant story that resonated so deeply with my soul.  I highly recommend giving it a read and allowing yourself to be swept away into this story.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3SQ77CZ1FY0GS?ASIN=014242417X	More than just a teen read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">After seeing a preview for the movie, I hesitated to read this because it looked like a variation on the Cinderella story except with cancer. After reading about it on an Austin Kleon recommended books list where he said that a middle aged business man recommended it to him, I decided to give it a try. So glad I did, we all sooner or later confront mortality while dealing with the mundane aspects of getting through the day. This book shows both and as an instructor of teenagers, the teenage characters felt ""real.""</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RITL2EKYJ20Y9?ASIN=014242417X	TFIOS	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I rated this with five stars because it is such an amazing book, full of happiness, sadness, good times and bad. I love this book because I can get something new out if it every time I read it and, believe me, I've read The Fault in our Stars about 10 times. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves philosophy and deep thinking, anyone who loves a love story, or anyone who is going through a tough time. Anyone who reads this will be deeply effected by it, and I can only hope you will love it as much as I do.</span>"

My 15 year old read it and said, ""she says bastard, seriously mom like a 40 year old man maybe but a teenage girl~not.""  And that's what it felt like throughout the novel.  A middle age man trying to fake being a teenage girl.  I especially loved when she called her support group a ""circle jerk.""

They've already made a movie and everything. But if you are like me and haven't seen the movie and almost didn't read the book because of the movie, let me just urge you to read this book. Even if you think it's a teen book. Even if you think you've already been spoiled on the end. Really, just read it. It's beautifully written. One word of warning: don't read it in public unless, like me, you don't mind sobbing in the bleachers while watching your kid at diving practice.</span>"

It was a wonderful romance and inspiration of cancer and really helps you understand the world more. There were about as many quotes as leaves on a tree in this book(live pine trees) and each one was special and had meaning even if two of them contradicted. Also the wonderful book was hilarious, I was either laughing during this book or so focused I almost forgot my name. Sincerely Cade</span>"

At least, thats what I'd heard before reading it.  That expectation lessened the impact and degraded my experience.  Sorry if I've done that for you.<br/><br/>However, the I really the characters.  Even though they felt a little slopily drawn at times I loved them anyway. As they've lived on in my mind after reading and I still find them vivid and lovable which is something I don't often feel after I've finished a read - even from my favorite authors.</span>"

I could and would like to thank John Green himself for writing such an absolutely beautiful piece, though I could never possibly thank him enough... Best. Book. EVER.</span>"

John Green is an excellent author, perfectly timing every tragity, twist, kiss, and Venn diagram ; ) I have already seen the trailer for the movie, and it looks like it will be as perfectly beautiful as this enchanting novel.<br/><br/>I would definitely recommend this book to anyone in search of the funniest, most romantic novel that they will ever read. It is written like pure poetry.<br/><br/>#TheFaultInOurStars</span>"

It should be categorized in the adult section also as it demands a wider audience with its substance. I know because I almost passed this one up.<br/><br/>Just read this book already. It's not a long read and it's packed with lots of insights that we all can relate to in one way or another.</span>"

Such a quick read, but def moving. I figured out how it would end within the first few chapters, but I was still hooked and couldn't wait to keep diving further into the love story between the two. I liked how they threw in the whole part about the author and her favorite book to make it more than just a cheesy romance teen novel. I am really looking forward to the movie coming out. I cried my eyes out at the end and loved reading about young love.</span>"

I understand there is now a movie coming out so I re-read it and loved it even more the second time.  The writing is superb and the editing far superior to most Kindle books I have downloaded.  The characters are wonderfully written - you can't help but love them.  Thank you, John Green, for an intelligent, beautifully written book that was able to evoke emotions from me that no other book has done in years.  I will be reading your other efforts soon as well.</span>"

She told me I wouldn't be able to put it down it was that good. She was unquestionably correct. The writing was phenomenal. You couldn't help but fall in love with the characters. I would recommend this to parents - it will give you a whole new appreciation for being a parent; and to young adults - perhaps it will give you a new appreciation for both this life we are given as well as for your parents who love you beyond infinite numbers.</span>"

The story was so gripping I could hardly put it down and for a slow reader like me that is a rarity.<br/>Guys, Hazel and Isaac all the tugged my emotions as they dealt with their lives and trials they faced. I was also moved by the parents of hazel and how she saw and related with them.<br/>This is a great book for anyone for anyone willing to open the heart and consider how lucky they are and how much they have to be thankful for.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RUHVM59AV5O6J?ASIN=014242417X	Another take on a Romance Novel	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars was an easy-to-read book. There was no challenging vocabulary, it was a decent length book, and a quick read. I would recommend it to young teen girls. I liked the point of view the book was written from, giving it a different take on a now common disease, cancer. It showed the hardships of what the main characters had to face. Overall though, the book was predictable and cliché. I wouldn't necessarily recommend this book to someone else, but if you want a common romance story, here you go.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R5FT9OTVIVOFD?ASIN=014242417X	Great Look at what it might be like to have cancer	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read this in a day which means I really liked it. At first I was a bit off put by the intellect of these teenagers but as I realized reading, what else do they have in their lives but read? It was what I believe is probably the most real look at what life is like with cancer than anything else I have read. Yes, you try to ""be strong"" but really you're just surviving the best you can.<br/>This was well written, and although the ending is somewhat predictable, it still gives you closure and a small smile</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3RGHGS1IRXF7?ASIN=014242417X	It's Funny	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Any nerd or average person really would love this book. It is a laugh out loud novel that is sure to keep you reading. It only took me a week to tear this book to shreads. The humor and irony all perfectly placed throughout the novel is something John Green would do. He is an amazing guy, and we watch his videos on the projector in History class. I had to read this for a project, but I was gonna read it anyway. I plan to read more of John Green's book as this was my first and I adored it! I wish it was more sad!</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1KLI8DU59VS7H?ASIN=014242417X	I laughed through my tears	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I loved this book. It wasn't a great story. It wasn't wonderfully written, deep prose. But it was good. I cried, but even between the tears I laughed! The voice of Gus is just beautiful. Really funny. I loved the quick wit and carefully chosen language. I would liken this books to those of Jodi Picoult, without the moral dilemma or lesson in human choice. But more for the social awareness and human aspect of it. The cancer isn't prettied up, the fight isn't fake, the struggle is real, and the choices are honest.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RUWO3OP04DPM9?ASIN=014242417X	Funny and Painful - Not a Fairy Tale	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I was surprised and delighted by this book, particularly the irreverent humor. It tells the story of a world that I'm not familiar with, one filled with people who have cancer or are trying to support people who have it. It felt refreshingly honest, I say it felt that way because I have no context for what it would be like to have a terminal illness.<br/><br/>I enjoyed the fairly literary nature of the book, lots of philosophy and delightful phrasing. It's not a happy book, but it its definitely worth reading.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RV6YQRAQ8G3ZK?ASIN=014242417X	5 Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Everything a book should be! I had some reservations about reading this book. I thought how can you NOT make a book about teenage cancer kids cliche and/or pretentious... Well I thought wrong! I loved every second of Hazel and Gus' witty dialogue and I loved the honesty of this story (no matter how painful it is to face the facts). This book takes life, and death, head on. I emerged from this book with a better understanding of life and death and the fault in MY stars. I'm so glad that I gave this book a chance!</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1F936BT12Y3H7?ASIN=014242417X	Loved, Loved, Loved	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I could not put it down and loved every minute of this book - even those heart wrenching moments.<br/>There are some books that I can finish and then move on to something else.  But, this is one of those books that stays with me and takes a couple of days to ""recover"" enough to move on to something new.  I just can't get the characters out of my head.<br/>It is well written, intelligent, funny and heart breaking all at the same time.  This is my first John Green novel, but it is definitely not my last!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RH9PH8R165QP0?ASIN=014242417X	Wonderfully sad *spoilers*	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I really enjoyed this book and am glad I gave it a try!  It made me laugh, cry, lose hope in humanity, and gain hope for it, all more than once.  The way John Green writes is very poetic and smooth.<br/><br/>My only problem with the book, was that I feel that no matter how many traumatic events you face, no teenager is as philosophical as Gus.  There concepts of life were beautifully depressing, but the maturity of the characters was like they were both 30.<br/><br/>The last chapter made me weep my eyes out.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2WVEM6NZ1GBMF?ASIN=014242417X	A Wonderful Feel-Good Story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is a great story. Don't listen to the naysayers. It's fiction after all! So what if someone doesn't believe that teenagers talk and act as the characters in this book do? I personally disagree, but that is neither here nor there. My point is that the book is a work of fiction and we read it to hear a story and be entertained. It is a heartwarming story that made me smile and even laugh out loud a couple of times. Open your heart, sit back and enjoy The Fault In Our Stars for what it is: A great love story.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2PNVTX4IHV0WZ?ASIN=014242417X	A beautiful tragedy	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I normally wouldn't write about a book that I liked, I would just like it and move on. This book, however, deserves to be written about, and to be discussed. The fault in our stars is a beautifully written novel that highlights the tragedy and beauty of humanity. John green displays a profound understanding of human emotion and fear and plays on it in the most wondrous way possible. In this book your heart will be broken but in the end, you will discover that the agony is what helps to stitch you back together.</span>"

In the beginning there is a lot of ""teen-speak""  then as the story progresses the tone veers more and more to pretension, the author's voice showing through not only in the plot but in the dialogue.<br/> Hazel and Gus never come across as real people; but simply characters in a book that tries too hard to be ""great literature""and employs every trick to be deep and meaningful and at the same time popular.<br/>TDG<br/>.</span>"

John Green is a talent...a natural writer who lets us (the reader) delve into the lives of his characters. When you are done reading this book you will know and love Hazel and Augustus. You will take them with you as if they were a part of you and they will help you to see there is still good in the world and so very much to be grateful for in our rushed, busy lives. I wholeheartedly recommend this book. A beautiful treasure...</span>"

If you haven't seen the movie, read this book.  In either case, you won't be disappointed with anything beyond the fact that the book is over and that your time with the characters has come to an end.  This is ironic because the book itself is about cherishing the time you have and not bemoaning the time you don't have.  Super characterizations, emotional heartbreak, and raw humor abound in this book.  Treasure your time reading it, and pass it on to someone you love.</span>"

John Green has managed to take these ingredients and cook up a fabulous, journalistic- style story that had me often times catching my breath in order to swallow a sob. I had to keep telling myself that this was indeed fiction because the situations and characters are so life-like. I'm not going to do a synopsis on the tale because I want the reader to, hopefully, go into this as blindly as I did.....it only seems right. Okay Hazel...okay Augustus!(</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The story is somewhat contrived, and the energy exhibited by the terminal cancer patients are un-realistic.  This is fight without compassion, and self interest and me-me-me and not so much dignity which becomes limited with each day passing away. People liking this story-telling may reflect the feisty spirit upon themselves who may have a lack of it. This is a typical Hollywood's drama. John Green a very good history episode freak (***** rating five stars), does not seem to fit the fantasized fiction genre.</span>"

Finding humor in such circumstance is difficult but also a necessity, I know from experience. It was sad but also happy. In loss there is joy, you simply have to remember it and this book does a tremendous job of portraying that. I felt as I though I were with them in person so very well written. Thank you for a view on cancer that isn't purely depressing because in truth it isn't. Those with it make the best of their situation and I appreciate the depiction of that. Bravo.</span>"

I didn't really want to because I'm not big on popular/movie books. I almost wish I would have left it a mystery. This book is NOT what I expected. One of the smartest people I know told me she loved this book and it was one of her favorites... I don't see how. It is so predicable and chopy. I also believe it was to short. There is so much missing from the story. But I'm also glad it was short because it didn't waste any more of my time. NOT A FAVORITE.</span>"

I read it because I kept seeing ads for the movie and in my opinion you have to read the book before you watch the movie. I was amazed at the author's writing style. The book is funny, deep, depressing and uplifting by turns. I know it's written for the YA crowd but it's so good that I think anyone would like it due to the high quality of his writing. I liked this book so much that I'll have to reread it and read his other books as well.</span>"

The teenagers are much like teenagers that I grew up with. I am in my thirties and I will pick up a best seller regardless of age group. Quite of a few times, I have been left disappointed with the fact it was a best seller as many writers to me are just not up to par. This was eloquently written as well as interesting. It did not hinder you with many 50 cent words, so anyone can read it enjoy it, be saddened by it, and be moved by it. Worth the read, worth the money.</span>"

The perspective John Green gives us to the cancer 's emotional and physical effects is an important one. A beautiful love story (remember: love means never having to say you're sorry) Everyone suffering or who has suffered from the effects of cancer will relate and anyone who has cared about someone who has gone through this will also relate, which is unfortunately a huge audience for this novel.<br/>-Andrea</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2E7RAKIQP4SCT?ASIN=014242417X	good but sad	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">A very sad book about children with terminal cancer.  I tried to steer clear of this book for a while but it kept popping up on lists and it got great reviews.  There are many reasons to love this book...kids supporting each other and dealing with life way beyond their years and yet somehow still remaining teenagers.  On the flip side you have a healthy ""alcoholic"" writer who cannot grant a last wish because he is so self absorbed.  So even though the book was good, it is profoundly sad in every way.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I was struck by how a man could write a story with the narrator a young girl (sorry). And how can a ""cancer"" story be so funny and beautiful and heart wrenching and perfect. The writing is stunning and as I marveled at the writing itself, I also was carried away by the characters. When I finished, I ached and yet was lifted up. No story line from me, just a bow to John Green.<br/><br/>Oh, I would recommend this to anyone who had the courage to feel deeply, have your heart broken, and then press on.</span>"

We live, we love, we laugh, we cry. We suffer through loss and wonder if we will live long after our death in memory and wonder if we will be happy with our little infinity. I loved the book more than I love the movie and I too wished for more days than we are granted.</span>"

People at my school kept speaking of this book and it took my English teacher mentioning it. I bought it the other night and I only put my tablet down to study for exams. I enjoy reading this book because John Green adds humor with the reality of an everyday struggle for those who have cancer. I have laughed cried smiled and enjoyed every bit of this book and cannot wait for Friday when the movie comes out</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RYUEU5EEI4V79?ASIN=014242417X	Hauntingly Good	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book surpassed my expectations. It's honesty surrounding the various perspective of those diagnosed with cancer, their family and friends is only the tip of the iceberg. The pure relationship which develops between Gus &amp; Hazel is not only depicted with playful banter, witty retorts and teenage angst, it ensnares the reader leading them on an up &amp; down roller coaster. Tissues will be needed towards the end but the laughs you get along the way by far make up for it. Highly recommended book in my opinion.</span>"

I was sure it would be very depressing.  But I sampled the first chapter, and then I read the first chapter again, because it was so well written that it hooked me.  The story had some very sad parts, but more importantly, it was enlightening to look through the eyes of the sick person.  These teenagers are almost a sub-culture of America.  The book broadened my understanding, and my humanity.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is not generally my genre of reading, so I decided to broaden my horizons and took a chance on this wonderful novel.  This really puts into perspective what some people living with terminal illnesses go through, and it gives a different point of view. I can say that I was brought to tears and, like Hazel, I have so many questions now that the story is over. How long does she live? What happens with her parents? Augustus`s parents? Isaac?

The novel explores meaty issues like facing death at as an adolescent while still discovering life, and your place in the world. The families are decent people and we grieve with them as they face possible death of their children. However, this is not a sad pretentious book the author treats our main characters as smart sensitive human beings who have no trouble keeping it real and calling on those around them to do the same.</span>"

One thing that the writer puts that (in my opinion) really brings a book together made the reader feel like they were in the book, going through what the characters were going through.<br/><br/>Great Book</span>"

John Green's many allusions to historical facts and literary sources made me appreciate the Kindle version which allowed me to deviate from the plot long enough to google terms that would give me a greater understanding of the story. Alas, both the main characters achieve Gus' hope for immortality because they will live on in the minds and hearts of readers.</span>"

That is one of the amazing quotes in this book. It isn't a love story, people tend to look at sick people as ""different"" than us, when in reality they are no different than us. They may have cancer but that does not make them different, wether it's stage lV or stage l they are just like you or me,and that is one of the many mistakes we make in our thinking. John Green does an amazing job in portraying just that.</span>"

As I read, I felt as though I was experiencing what Hazel was going through - not from someone on the outside looking in, but as if I were Hazel. Because of that, the story was truly complete at the end - still lingering sadness, but also an understanding of how all experiences - sad or joyful - are a gift and a choice.</span>"

I felt like i was reading a book by an author who was attempting to depress me out of my mind with a purpose. Unlike looking for alaska where i had a good reason to be depressed, TFioS was depressing from beginning to end purely because of the subject matter. I love Johns other books but this one did not feel like he wrote it, something was missing and i'm not sure what it is.</span>"

So beautifully written. Heartbreaking and beautiful. You somewhat know that it will be a tear jerker, but I never imagined to become so attached to the characters that I felt each of their battles as though I knew them personally. The truth of the story is so raw. You feel sad for those who are sick while the sick does not want pity. I recommend this book.

The writer allows us the reader to get lost in love and in the belief of Hazels non belief and faith only to find she longs for faith and hope in the end and finds it in her own authentic way. Just the right amount amount of recklessness and and responsibility. Mr. Green left me with my favorite type of story resolution, a messy unbuttoned ending that attempts to resolve in truth.

John Green can have you simultaneously laughing AND crying, not just once but on several occasions.  Enjoyed the thought-provoking points-of-view throughout the book.  The only criticism I have is that the main characters, who are in their teens, seemed more mature than the average teenager but, then again, perhaps cancer makes a person mature more quickly no matter the age.  Irregardless... Absolutely loved the book; a re-read for me!</span>"

So, I read it fast to just get through it. I have not stopped thinking about it since I've finished it! I love the realness of the characters and dealing with their situations. For someone like myself I would recommend this book because having not had to deal with cancer to close to home  it helps me to relate to the reality of someone who has dealt with it more closely. I look forward to the characters coming to life in the upcoming movie.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1XXA8WWXNUD73?ASIN=014242417X	<33333	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I told myself I wouldn't cry. I have watched the movie and cried. Now, I read the book and feel the same emotion wash over me. The Fault in Our Stars is the kind of romance book I love. Hazel has imperfections. She isn't a model. Gus has imperfections too. A beautiful face but, a troubled past- Gus and Hazel fit together like building blocks. John Green is a genius in my eyes. He left a mark on this world. Not a scar but more like a faint freckle. Beautiful and pure. Something not even makeup can cover.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RR88BPHH0TFCK?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault was in the ending...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I have very mixed feelings about this book. There were parts where I loved John Green's writing style, and parts I abhorred. Unfortunately, the book was predictable and the big twist that I was expecting at the end never came. The ending left me pleading for there to be another chapter tucked away behind the acknowledgements, but no such luck. I'm not saying I could write a better ending... but I could write a better ending. Read it if you want to be ""current"" with what everyone's talking about.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R23N2NCRVLHADG?ASIN=014242417X	Absolutely incredible!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I cannot recommend this book enough!<br/><br/>Just to give you an idea, I have never ever re-read a book, but when I finished this book I could not help but pick it up and re-read it only days after. Though it was painful to do so (reliving some of the more difficult moments in the books the second time around doesn't make them any easier) it was entirely worth it. This is worth a second, third, fourth, maybe fifth read or more. The story and the characters are just that good. Ah what an amazing book!</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3HGJ9FZZWSXTZ?ASIN=014242417X	amazing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was simply amazing, it made you laugh and cry at the same time, I hurt with Augustus and I cried with Hazel. It made you stop and think about what living really meant, and it made you realize how pointless half the things in life are. Green made me stop and wonder in awe, about what I had and what was important, about how leaving your mark on the world so often meant hurting it. The truth is, you don't have to make everyone remember you, you just have to leave your mark so that you are missed.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R264HRW77HWCRC?ASIN=014242417X	Wow	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Probably one of the best books I have read in a long time. It is sad (which is expected with that title) but it is funny and smart. This is going to sound strange but it was a relief to read, I cried and it was intense yet never lost it's humor... And I am pissed too about arbitrary messages to those who have died even if there had been no interaction for years or didn't even know them at all! I hate those people.<br/>Anyways, off that tangent. Beautiful book about love. It's never just simple or easy.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1RVXVL1SNZ7EP?ASIN=014242417X	Inspiration	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is like no other book. This book brings life and also death into such realism that if you stop reading, you have no idea which life is real or not. John Green is an inspiration to writing and puts so much detail into this book you feel as if you are living in it as Hazel. The Fault in Our Stars has made me realize that  I want to be a nurse in the field of cancer patients. I have always wanted to be in a field of helping people I just did not know which, but John Green has made it clear to me.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3C3QQ3WKSFS5X?ASIN=014242417X	Heartwrenching	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Beautifully written. A devastating, profound, and sometimes uplifting story about love and death. I read another bestseller about the same topics recently and thought that other (I won't name it) book was tedious and manipulative. John Green approached a difficult subject with just the right touch: sensitive, thoughtful, but never maudlin. It is true that most teenagers don't usually speak with such profundity, but I can forgive that. Mr. Green's words made this a good read for adults as well as teens.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RBXPWCCO0JY33?ASIN=014242417X	Excellent read - even after you saw the movie.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Great story line, characters you fall in love with and an amazing sense of realism.  The dialogue and wording can even be exquisite at times.  If you liked the movie or wanted to read this first, I would definitely suggest it.  The movie is VERY true to the book, but the book is able to expand upon the story (and add the portions that couldnt fit in a 2 hr time limit).  Worth the read, and it earned all of it's rave reviews.  I know I am not telling you anything new or exciting, but the book was great.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R11NQNT3B4F1JE?ASIN=014242417X	enlightening	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Although hard to read at times, this book gives one a different and even refreshing outlook on death for the one dying and the ones still living. The writing style and occasional philosophical depth of knowledge regarding our true path on Earth makes this book a must read. The novel reminds us that love will find a way despite it all. Unfortunately, cancer is a very real and often heart-breaking disease that way too many of us know and this book provides an honest and heartfelt approach to battling it.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RUN80HO8Y3LAO?ASIN=014242417X	AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!five stars all over!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I absolutely LOVE!!! The Fault In Our Stars! it's the best book I've ever read! I wish there was a sequel, just like Hazel and Augustus with there was a sequel to ""An Imperial Affliction"". I loved the characters. it's neat how John Green gives us a peek into the life of a Cancer Kid. it is now on my bucket list to visit Amsterdam- I love how well-described it was! The Fault In Our Stars is an amazing book and I hope that all the people who read my review read the book and think its amazing too.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3BFWXYTEMWY83?ASIN=014242417X	Well written!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">As someone battling cancer, it's rather fascinating to read a story told from the point of view of someone also battling cancer. It was well-written and touching, and the characters were entirely likable.  It was also pleasant to read a book that doesn't dumb down the English language for the reader like many popular books do these days, yet doesn't lack vernacular common to today's teens. The interesting mix of both eloquent English and spunky American teenage words made it a fun and interesting read.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3OPYR1L9DP90X?ASIN=014242417X	Wow	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">At first i didn't know why everyone was obsessed with this book but then i started reading it. Each page held me captive and held my interest. I loved it to say the least. Although heart breaking towards the end (well at the end), i know that both Hazel and Augustus got what they truly wanted for a bit: true love. It was tragic and yet the very end made me feel better because i do admit that i did cry because of what happened but to know Augustus loved Hazel THAT much is just something we all hope for.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R18P0RCJ9EMX57?ASIN=014242417X	You will not regret this read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book offered hope in a world where it is so easy to lose it.  I couldn't put this book down until I finished it and though it was a sad story, it left me smiling.  It is amazing how strong we are and how focusing on the positives can lead you down a completely different road than if you felt sorry for yourself when anything went wrong.  I certainly took stock of my life and what is truly important after reading The Fault in our Stars.  This is a beautiful story of survival against impossible odds.</span>"

I rated this four stats because this is the hones truth. I did not rate it five stars because it was the honest truth, this world needs a mystery and so did  book just like the imperial attraction did. I would recommend this book for a fourteen year old<br/>, I am a twelve year old and I read higher books than a high schoolers. I would dedicate this to my uncle which is dying of cancer. This his last few days. God bless your soul.<br/><br/>Marisa</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RTIB6ORDQKEE8?ASIN=014242417X	Telegraphed twist, but not too telegraphed.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I'm a good reader, voracious and detailed oriented. This is a well written book about two sick, self-aware logic junkies who find a kind of assonance with each other. It's a sweet kind of love.<br/>This story doesn't idealize childhood cancers; it gives the kids the respect to have their own feelings and motivations.<br/>There's a twist in this plot, and to me, it was pretty telegraphed. However, to a less careful reader, it will only be apparent on a second reading. Which I think this book deserves.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R19ELKDMN0F0VE?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">If you are going to read this book have tissue by you're side and be ready for an emotional rollercoaster. The only think I have to say that is bad is that John Green went a little crazy with the ""big words"". I don't know, I'm a 16 year old girl and I think I have never heard of some of the words in this book.  I mean I understand that Hazel is a lot more "" grown up"" then most 16 year old olds but still it just didn't seem very real to me. Other than that I absolutely loved the book props t John Green!</span>"

Sometimes sad, sometimes witty and funny. These teenagers are readers, they are smart, they know they are not alone in their weirdness. They are dying, or will be soon. The novel is about the dreams they have, and trying to achieve them before they get too weak to seek them. With a fair share of misfortunes and parents who hold on to them desperately., they manage to break free, to live one last adventure.</span>"

Hazel is dying of terminal lung cancer, while Gus is an amputee cancer free.  Hazel true to avoid love, not wanting to be responsible for more emotional damage when she dies.  Augustus brushes aside her protests, and the rest is history.  It really illuminates the emotions and unfairness of death.  Both Hazel and Gus make such an impact in each other's hearts, they will never love the same again.  A poignant, rich tale of a one of a kind love.</span>"

This book is very inspiring and contains so much depth and reality. I highly recommend this book. I have reread it many times and it brings me to tears very time. You get so attached to the characters and you feel like you know them as if yourself. Like you can describe them to a completely random person an make it sound like the character is your best friend.<br/>This story was well composed.<br/>Yet another phenomenal book from the outstanding author John Green.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2EYQ666WBZNFT?ASIN=014242417X	BEST BOOK IN THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I initially didn't want to read this book because i don't like the stereotypical romance books, but when I saw the trailer, I immediately changed my mind. I started reading, and half an hour later I was a third way done. I finished three days later. I recommend this book to ANY TEENAGER OUT THERE. It doesn't matter what genre you like to read, read The Fault In Our Stars. You won't regret it. Don't forget to watch the movie! SPOILER ALERT: you will cry your eyes out for months after you read/see TFiOS</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3MOT6WL5LC6Q3?ASIN=014242417X	So lovely	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">this book deserves even more stars than allowed on the board. John green is incredibly poetic. He captures hazel Grace and Augustus Waters perfectly. I have never read a book that revolved around cancer and it's victims. Having family who has experienced the disease, I was astounded to read the book from a point of view such as this. I feel like I have a new perspective not only on sickness but life and death and the universe altogether. beautifully written. I am now compelled to read all of his book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R19O41VNNJHO9Y?ASIN=014242417X	Sweet, but unrealistic at times	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">It's a nice book, but not all that I expected it to be. Like others have said, the characters don't interact or respond to situations as real, awkward, isolated virgin teenagers would. They all seem to speak with the same general voice, and often some of the ""witty"" things the characters said struck me as something that no real person would say in that situation. Also, the characters besides Hazel were not as well fleshed-out as I would have liked. Nevertheless, I enjoyed it, so I give it three stars.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RPJIIPQ4COQ16?ASIN=014242417X	Read it	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">when no more tears are enough to express your emotions for a certain book, than I guess, merely writing the review becomes a sort of formality. I am in love with you, O dear book! and nothing you say, will make me think or say otherwise.<br/>Mr. Green, you are truly a magician of grasping human emotions. I am not a real water-can for any thing, apart from the tragic situations in the books which are read by me, but ""Fault in our stars"" made me teary eyed so many times, I have lost the count.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R5VMH8UAII8GO?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in Our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars is an amazing book that lets you see the world through the eyes of a cancer patient. This book is filled with a beautiful love story and tragedy . I read a lot but this is the only book to ever me me cry . This book talks about leaving your mark on the world but Hazel doesn't want to she wants to minimize the pain of her death . This book really puts into perspective of how lucky we are to be able to have a chance to leave our mark on the Earth before it's devoured by the Sun .</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3VGSGUZIAGOPL?ASIN=014242417X	Different	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I've read several books lately with very young female characters, mostly because they were on the best seller lists in the Wall Street Journal.  I liked this book because it gave me some insight in how a young cancer victim would view life, the future, and relationships with parents, friends, and others with dubious chances of having a normal life at such a young and immature age. I have a granddaughter, age 16, and these books in general also inform me as what she and her comtemporaries are reading.</span>"

It was an overall 5 star book and I do not give all the books I read 5 stars... but this one definitely deserved it!!! I loved Gus so much!!! And hazel was just outstanding!!! Their love was definitely a true one but a sad and difficult one I do love how they would count on only each other and how they would always try to accomplish each others dreams!!! Gus was just the sweetest guy I have ever read about!!! Thank you so much John Greene!!!</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2FYR8TVBTCU5A?ASIN=014242417X	Lots of truth in this book..	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Green's book speaks to the real issues involved when a loved one has cancer.  Do you live each day as a blessing?  Do you get angry at the basic unfairness of the illness? Do you hold back your feelings to spare your loved ones pain?  How do you relate to others who can't know the reality you live with every day? Green wraps these weighty issues into an adolescent tale of true love, and while the love story is fairly predictable, the book itself takes on questions for which there are no easy answers.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3TZKQ0XV51ZU1?ASIN=014242417X	Slow building storyline.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Very good story.  Slow to pick up the storyline.  Became very bored with all the detailed explanations of the books Augustus was reading as well as Hazel. To much detail on the video games. Was contemplating not finishing the book. But decided to give a chance. Interesting twists came along and I was hooked.  A book is very good if I would read it again. Not sure this is that book. No way to give half stars but this book is 3 1/2 not 4. Sweet but sad story about young love doomed from the beginning.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1YSA0NH541CAX?ASIN=014242417X	Beautifully written love story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read this book because my granddaughter was enthralled by it and I wanted to know what she was reading.  I ended up calling her and thanking her for recommending such a great book.  The story of these two teenagers who suffer horrendous types of cancer finding love at a support meeting was so well written.  I felt I knew these young people personally.  I laughed and cried, cringed sometimes over decisions the teenagers made like any parent would.  I'm looking forward to reading this authors works.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2U11394BY2XRL?ASIN=014242417X	Constellations	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I thoroughly enjoyed this book because of the beauty of the words and the ideas. There are so many intricate details and little plot devices strewn throughout the book like a thin, silvery spider web. You really get to know these characters as people and it just makes you feel loss so much more. This book toys with your emotions, making you laugh and cry so much more then you expect. Sometimes books deliver you pearls of wisdom. This book delivers a whole pearl necklace along with matching earrings.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2HJC5WKNV59H6?ASIN=014242417X	Fascinating.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">These aren't your typical teenagers.  They are teenagers that have had to deal with things that no one should ever have to deal with.  I almost put this down after realizing I was reading about kids with cancer.  It has touched me too close as of late.  I plowed through and thoroughly enjoyed the way this was written.  I enjoyed that these kids weren't typical.  That they pushed limits a bit at being believable, but really....they have a terminal illness, wouldn't they grow up quickly?  a MUST read!</span>"

It literally grab me from the very beginning, straight to the end. I""m A MESS here Mr Green...( 😭😭😭😭😭 ) crying and s*** still, but still swooning from the freaking Epic relationship between the protagonist and Augustus Waters😍😍😍. This book definitely goes down as one of my all time favorites. Now I'm going to watch the movie ( because that's what any self respecting fanatic would do 😀😀 ) THIS BOOK IS LIFE 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RUYDQQP2VT448?ASIN=014242417X	Hopeless romantic	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book by all means was the highlight of the relationship I'm currently undergoing. I felt like a defeatist in which I wanted to give up on love not knowing there is true love out there. For these two teenagers to have gone through what many cannot utterly fathom I consider myself a hopeless romantic. I no longer consider love to be fraught but to be something that is an apparition and happens arbitrarily. This book was by far a great read concluding the many lives it has touched including mine.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R7HINBRDE0ZV3?ASIN=014242417X	Downer	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">As I began reading this book, I was surprised by all of the ""hooplah"" I keep hearing over it.  The book was a downer of a read from start to finish.  I kept waiting for it to get better, but the story remained depressing.  I give it 2 stars simply by the way it brings awareness to childhood cancer and its devastating aftermath, which is something to be considered and not ignored.  If you are looking for an uplifting, ""feel good"", entertaining read though, this may not be the choice.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RRDANZDLWKT7D?ASIN=014242417X	Just beautiful & so moving.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I loved this book.  I read it in one night, only stopping to brush my teeth and climb into bed to continue reading it.  At one point, I was sobbing so hard that I woke up my husband.  Despite the tears, it is a beautifully written love story that covers a subject that affects so many: cancer.  You are drawn to the characters immediately through their banter and sarcasm, and through them, you learn what it is like to be young and dealing with such a horrific illness. It was definitely worth reading.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2UDU9T6GTFZLA?ASIN=014242417X	I couldn't put it down!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read this book in less than 2 full days because I couldn't stop reading.<br/>The ONLY thing that I didn't like was that the vocubulary in the book is really strong (John Green used alot of big words)<br/>Everyone is right, it's a good cry &amp; an amazing story. This book will put you on an emotional rollercoaster.<br/>I really liked the book &amp; I will read it again.<br/><br/>The soundtrack for the movie is wonderful (I love the song by Ed Sheeran the most) I'm really excited for the movie too :D</span>"

I cried when he died. I smiled in Amsterdam. I laughed at dinner. I rejoiced in the Ann Frank  Museum. I cried at the funeral. This book moved me in a way no other has. It deserves the five star rating. John Green brings the characters to life in the best way. And I will reread it over and over again just like hazel and The Imperial Affliction. Augustus Waters and Hazel are my fictional heroes, not Super Man or Spider Man but them.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1FAALB7FW0A2N?ASIN=014242417X	No Fault in These 5 Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The ability of John Green to have the voice of a sarcastic teenage girl is just incredible. He took into account real life situations when dealing with cancer and acknowledged the ugliness of it in the most sarcastic and humorous way possible--if that's possible? I really enjoyed this book as it made me step back to reevaluate some of my own life areas and fears. Obviously the subject matter wouldn't be true to itself if there weren't a few tears. Hope you enjoyed this page turner as much as I did.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1SAUUY2DPBHRV?ASIN=014242417X	I- I can't-	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is an amazing addition to my library. It is the only book of it's genre that I have actually enjoyed reading. There are many quotes that add to my understanding of life itself, such as, ""Pain demands to be felt."" The thing about this book that made it one of my favorites was the characters. They seem like real people, rather than fantasies. There are many heartbreaking parts in this book, as well. I cried for twenty minutes after one part. Other than that though, this is an AMAZING book.</span>"

This genre of literature is not typically my cup of tea but I work in a High School and several students were telling me how I ""must"" read this book.  So, I gave in and read it over the summer.  It was a very easy read.  The character of Augustus was a little on the weird side however, we've all met that person in real life.  Hazel's character was extremely realistic.  The plot twist at the end blew my mind.  I'm thankful that none of my students had blurted out a spoiler!</span>"

It is a unpredictable journey of two young people and their lives with Cancer and its effects.  It is well written, clever and poignant.  It transcends the traditional ""young adult"" reader age bracket.  All adults can find the beauty in this book and the story's it  shares of real and broken people trying to manage the best they can.  I am not sure I want to see the movie because it could not possibly do the book justice.</span>"

It was a good quick read and I liked the characters, but they are absolutely not believable teenagers and they all felt like the same character... There was another reviewers who said Augustus flirted like a 25 year old man everything flowing, witty and clever and I absolutely agree. There were so many times while reading this book that I thought ""THIS WOULD NEVER HAPPEN!"". Other than that I did enjoy the story line. I just couldn't connect with the characters.</span>"

And very rarely do I come across a book that I can't put down till I finish it. This was one of those books. You have to be a cold hearted person for this book not to make you cry. I didn't just sniffle a little, I bawled. I felt connected with the characters. It's an amazing book and John Green is an amazing author. I couldn't put it down, and I read it in less than a day. Hazel and Augustus were a true love story, that will tug at your heart. I loved every page of this book.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2EFI56LE5L7AG?ASIN=014242417X	Excellent On All Levels	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I laughed. I cried. And I rejoiced in this matter-of-fact tale of death, disease and love.  I had reservations about a book about kids with cancer that fall in love.  I expected a typical sappy love story.<br/><br/>The synopsis and reviews convinced me this was no typical love story.  My suspicions were gratefully valid.  The author has a no holds barred approach that works well.  These kids act, talk and think like wise souls.<br/><br/>I'm glad I took a chance and read it.  I'm better for it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R18492Q6KFPO5F?ASIN=014242417X	Green beautifully sums up living life	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">John Green's writing paints a beautiful picture of the highs and lows of life. One does not have to be experiencing a terminal illness to fall in love with Green's characters. Throughout the book I fell in love, I experienced anger, hurt, deception, happiness, pride, friendship, and devastation. Green wrote a so called description of life in such a beautiful way that there was no effort experienced when turing the pages. The only negative opinion that I have of this book is that it ended to soon.</span>"

I however ended up watching the movie first and could not help but shed many tears during it. I even watched it a second time and I am now undoubtedly in love with a fictional character. (Gus) I then read the novel with great expectations but I was honestly disappointed. In my opinion read the book first, the movie while brilliant will spoil it. That said the book has many memorable lines and John Green is a rare and remarkable writer.</span>"

At least that's what it seems like.  If only more of the world could understand life as it's portrayed here.  To make a real and difficult part of life beautiful is an amazing talent.  Lessons to be learned.  This is not depressing an amazing conquest. A quick and wonderful read.  I truly cried in a few places while reading not from sadness but of heartfelt beauty.  I've been a caregiver, I loved this book. Looking forward to the movie.</span>"

It's perfection.<br/>I came away from this book a better person.</span>"

This book is so good that I read (well actually mostly listened ) to the entire story for about six hours . The fault in are stars is THE best book I have ever read , and I would recommend you to read it before the movie comes out this summer!!! This book is well worth the money , and I hope that you enjoy it as well as I did!</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The historical references and war from the children's point of view were interesting. I think most kids/tweens would love to have a place where makes them unique is fostered. I'm not sure American kids would be able to relate to the war flashbacks having no context. Yes, it is good to be exposed to these periods in history for exactly that reason, but I'm not sure they would remain engrossed. Someone compared this book to Harry Potter but I would suggest it's more like Limney Snikket (spelling?).</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RFMWJV66IKIKN?ASIN=014242417X	A very honest display of human emotion, definitely worth a read.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">There are many words I could say about The Fault in Our Stars but most of which have already been said.<br/><br/>All I can say is that TFiOS exemplifies beauty and the human condition in such a way that many times I have revisited its pages.<br/><br/>While it may be a difficult read, the journey is worth it and the characters' pain reveals the humanity within ourselves.  There is a quote within the book - and I am probably misquoting - saying ""Grief does not change us, it reveals us.""</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R30SLN9KF1L5EV?ASIN=014242417X	Excellent Book With Great Content	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This was a great book. I first read it as an extra credit assignment for one of my classes in college. I had to write counseling sessions and include me as one of the characters and the other as a counselor dialogue. I read this book for the second time when I found out it recently became a movie. I have not seen the movie yet, but I am going to very soon!<br/><br/>I loved the story and all of the content also. There were sad parts to it that brought tears to my eye. Overall an excellent book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3PTJ1BSOMHX3X?ASIN=014242417X	Soul Searching	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I thought this story was well done. You learn to understand a world experienced by the sick and disabled which is different from the world of those that are in good health. John Green writings are about young adults, but this story appealed to the sediments  beyond the young adults. I purchased another book from John Green ""Looking For Alaska"". I liked it but It did not have the same flair to move beyond the young adult category of adventure whereas ""The Fault in Our Stars"" does.</span>"

It's a very good book about real things and more than anything, it surprised me that he enjoyed this book also.  Just when I think my teen son is oblivion to the world around him, he surprises me with the most compassionate selfless loving book I've read in a long time.  I'm glad I read it and can't wait it see the movie with him in a couple of months</span>"

Theirs was an EPIC love story. As epic as it was it was also real, and not real in the sense that they both felt love for each other, but real as in... They both go through the worst crap anyone can imagine! Yet, my first statement still stands, it was beautifully written and I would recommend this book to anyone who wants their heart broken in the best of ways<br/>Sincerely, an adoring fan of this awesome book</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">It is a ""major motion picture"" which I didn't see, so I read the book. Young adults with cancer is bound to tug at your heartstrings, but more is needed for a truly fulfilling read. The second plot line about the alcoholic author who doesn't give interviews or respond to legitimate mail was perplexing, and not totally believable, in my opinion. However, the author redeemed himself with the plot twist at the end.<br/>I borrowed it from the public library via Kindle, a satisfying choice.</span>"

Not only does it touch your soul, it makes you question and cherish what life means to you and what you're doing with it. (At least it does for me). The little saying of ""life is short"" is a saying that everyone knows &amp; probably hears quite often, because it's TRUE. This book may not be a nonfiction, but it's someone's fiction out there and is a great read. Wonderfully written, john green might as well have been a poet. It's a lovely book and I highly recommend it.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RJPZBDVECC3BO?ASIN=014242417X	Awesome	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I totally love this book because it's so truthful, my friend has leukemia and is 3 years old. And I have Juvenile Rheumatoid arthritis and I can tell you that I can compare myself, literally. I was going to be like Hazel, with an oxygen tank because my lungs sucked at being lungs but thanks to God, and to the doctors I do not have an oxygen machine. By the way I was diagnosed at 13 and as pre-miracle I went to Disney as well, and now I laugh about what Gus would say to me. I love this book!!!!!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1C73YPVFZJEWH?ASIN=014242417X	An excellent novel for young adults	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This novel was one of the books that takes you in when you think your about finished with all the sadness and heartbreak, I personally think that you have to read this book twice to take in all the emotions completely. In some parts of the beautifully written novel there is language which is not ment for young children. In my opinion John Green out did himself. I am excited for the movie to be shown on screen and of course I am excited to read this book again to embrace the exceptional writing.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2RIYY6T11YPCV?ASIN=014242417X	tear-fest, but worth it.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read this book because the movie was released and I heard such good things about the book that the movie was based upon.  I knew it was supposed to be sad, so I went in with open eyes.  But you grow to like the characters so much that you hope that what you heard was wrong and that somehow everyone lives happily ever after.  Unfortunately, just like in real life, the fairy tale doesn't come true.  But, I must say, that I still enjoyed the book immensely and look forward to watching the movie.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3CMVZR8CW7A68?ASIN=014242417X	full of life	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">What a great story of courage and life. I couldn't put it down once I started reading it. I rarely read anything other than romance novels, but I wanted to read this book and understand what made people love life when faced with adversity. Cancer. A word that evokes fear and sadness. This book allowed me to understand that cancer is a life for some and they learn how important life truly is. Why do we wait for death to teach us that point. Life should be filled with learning, loving, and stars.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1D9KUP66A0AIG?ASIN=014242417X	Why	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">All I ask is why. I felt like apart of the book and that is the greatest gift an author can give. But I feel like I have a fresh death in the family. Like a wound that won't repair. I know he was a fictional character but they all feel the same. I understand why he died why he had to anyway but why take away the happy ending? All you do is hurt you're readers. That would be the childish part of me by the way. Thank you for this amazing book. I'm proud of this choice. All I can say is thank you.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2KHNAY9P4DU4M?ASIN=014242417X	love it	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I didn't want to read a book about a girl with cancer.  I worked in a hospital before as a physical therapy aide on an oncology floor - I know the prognosis, and am scared of it like everyone else.  Avoidance of unpleasant things and thoughts are common, so why should I read a story about death?  John Green's novel is beautifully written, the characters aren't perfect or always noble and brave, and is probably one of the most moving stories I've ever read.  Take the journey, it's well worth it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3H28QEPSQL00F?ASIN=014242417X	Emotional and stunning work of art.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I didn't expect anything I got out of this book. I had never read a book by John Green, but had heard that he had an incredible ability to write sad stories. So, when I purchased this book, I didn't know what to expect. I didn't think about what to expect of this book. I just wanted to read it and see what the fuss was about. But now I know. I was not disappointed with this book. I loved every page. Every paragraph. Every word. John Green is a brilliant author, and I can't wait to see the film.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R22WWFWZANIDA6?ASIN=014242417X	Great read - raw, emotional, real	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This was the first book I downloaded onto my new Kindle and it was a great choice. While I felt the vocabulary used by 16 year olds was a bit far fetched in its marturity (no 16 year old I've ever met talks like that. Are we on the set of Dawson's Creek?), the novel had lovely comic relief to ease the tension and pain of the heavy subject matter. It was raw, real, and depicted relationships so clearly that you can imagine yourself as the main character easily. I'd recommend this book to anyone.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R16CXE3APDYX8A?ASIN=014242417X	This Book Should be Read by Everyone	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book has become one of my all-time favorites.  What a truly beautiful story.  I expected it to be sad, and it was, but it was also sweet, honest and very funny.  I would find myself crying at one page and then laughing out loud at the next.  I found Hazel and Gus to be very believable characters.  I loved that they were intelligent and weren't afraid to use ""50-cent words.""  Their story will stay with me for a long time, and future books I read are most likely going to fall short.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3A4G21V3OP98J?ASIN=014242417X	Beautiful	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This was such an incredible journey to travel considering the subject matter is so often taboo. Cancer is difficult at any stage of life, but telling a life story from the perspective of a teenager is not only courageous its brilliant.<br/>Having been touched by cancer too many times, and once with a young girl with the same cancer Augustus had, this wonderful novel allowed a measure of closure to be had for those of us who were left behind and those who died too young but lived life so fiercely.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R353IFDYRKKN2X?ASIN=014242417X	Beautifully written.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The story is predictable, but because the story is written so strongly, you practically itch to read more. The characters inhabit an adorable friendship making the story all the more interesting and intriguing. Each of the character's personalities are written so well you feel like you've actually met them or have known them in some point of your life. I highly recommend this book to anyone reading this comment. I hope you take my word on it and enjoy ""The Fault in Our Stars"" as much as I did.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2N3HWBMRCMN4V?ASIN=014242417X	Astonishing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is amazing i first read it leaving my 6th grade year and it was hands down the best thing ive read. Now im on my way to high school.  This was the first book to ever get me to cry.<br/><br/>I recommend this book for almost anyone, the story is very touching and i think hazel is a girl some people can relate to. When reading this book it was a shocking ending and i have to say i didn't expect it. I have to think my sister , alex, to whom has a platelet cancer and recommend it to me.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3UW8EX2W4E2FZ?ASIN=014242417X	Wonderful with bits of fantastic	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I was reluctant to read this book; I was afraid it would be similar to books like ""The Notebook"" or ""Dear John"" which are just too sappy for me, but this book was none of that.  The characters are realistic, appropriately grim, but not completely jaded.  I kept thinking that the story was like strawberry ice cream: sweet, smooth, with delightful bits of sweet, real wisdom perfectly mixed in. In short, a lovely, heartwarming AND heartbreaking story that I would highly recommend.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R24G452W1FRPKL?ASIN=014242417X	What a heartbreakingly lovely story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">A truly lovely story.  I was sucked in from the first page and found myself reading straight through the night until I finished it.  John Green has somehow managed to capture the heart and spirit of his teenage characters with great skill, insight and thoughtfulness.  They are all so engaging, you can't help but turn the page to see what happens with them next.  Although I was reduced to a puddle of tears by the end, I know that I will remember this book and these characters for years to come.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">John Green has done it again.....a beautiful teenage story of intense love and courage....with the many follies of parent's trying to do their best in extreme circumstances.  The inclusion of the Dutch eccentric who grieves in his own self destructive way  demonstrates what can happen when people are called upon to do more than they are able.  I loved the euologies....esp. Hazel's because she has lived an isolated life since becoming ill and his sensitivities to that issue.  A wonderful story.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I have never read a book that was so ""spot on to the movie"" Great book, better movie!!!  I am so happy for John Green. He should be VERY proud of both. I almost did not read this book after reading the other reviews. Then I watched a trailer and interviews with the cast.  My mind was changed after watching that interview. It was a tougher read with all the poetic stuff going on, but it was worth it once I saw the movie. Get the book and go watch the movie you will not be disappointed!!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RIBRI1LR58OKC?ASIN=014242417X	memorable read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I normally am not drawn to this type of novel. I prefer memoirs for the most part. However, for this not being my ""type"", I really enjoyed it. Love the characters and without having seen the film it became, I could truly visualize each and every scene. Just as Hazel would have wanted though, I would love to know what happens to her, her parents and Isaac. This is a novel I will never forget. It prompted me to hug my children a little but tighter each day and thank God for their health.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2P5UGZVW2B75Z?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I loved this book so much! It is written beautifully! The characters are very real. They aren't like fairy tale characters. Hazel accepts that she is sick! She doesn't pretend that everything is ok. I really loved the end, sure it was incredibly sad, but I liked the grenade thing. It turned out Gus was a grenade. This book was AMAZING! I recommend this book, to people who are interested in books about cancer, or people who like sad books. This is an amazing book. John Green did an awesome job!</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3O267PETMKS88?ASIN=014242417X	Wonderful read about love and loss and life	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">A wonderful story that brings love and loss and the journey of life together. It was an easy read but it kept me enthralled and wanting to know what would happen next. Being a person whose life has been affected by cancer I found this book to bring forth the reality of the disease and those who suffer from it as well as their families. Love doesn't care what you have or don't have and every person is fighting a battle but that doesn't mean they don't deserve a full life of love and happiness.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R16IHDJKBZVCAP?ASIN=014242417X	Tears upon Tears	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Challenged to read this within 48 hours, so I can join friends for Sunday Movie Night. I love challenges, I was all over it; not knowing the emotional roller coaster I had signed up for. Haven't read for leisure in quite sometime, the author painted a beautiful love story between so many bonds entangled through the pain of life and the journey to death. You found yourself in love with Augustus, in pain with Hazel, and in agony with the parents. Very we'll written. Have a box of tissues handy!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R38KYS92M1JKZA?ASIN=014242417X	Riveting	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I just blew through this book in 4 hours when I should have been working but I just Could. Not. Put. It. Down.  It was incredible and riveting and relatable and I am so glad I read it. In a sea of books that I consume on a weekly basis, this one stood out enough to take the time to review and I will read it again, likely soon. This is a rarity for me.<br/><br/>The characters careen around each other, interacting, caring, leaving incredible impressions.<br/>You will not regret reading this.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2ITKX8W9MUH00?ASIN=014242417X	Absolutely Beautiful.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I would recommend this book to anyone. This is absolutely best touching and heart wrenching. It is an absolutely beautiful prep if literature. John Green is an incredible author, if you don't read this you are honestly missing or on so much. I will definitely read it multiple times and this is a book I will never get tired of or love any less. This meets (in my opinion) the insanely high standards of the Harry Potter series. I'm asking you to read this book, you will be so happy that you did.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1KSKXYOSERULQ?ASIN=014242417X	Cried and laughted	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I never cried so much during a book and wasn't sure I could finish. However I did and AM glad for it. The descriptions of Amsterdam are spot on. It is known for its sin and freedom but no one ever told me of its beauty. It is one of the most gorgeous cities in Europe maybe because my expectations were low.<br/> Anyway it was the perfect setting for these two young people to fall in love. You will cry while reading this book but will be happy when you finish it, so persevere as these kids do.</span>"

I don't even know where to start. This book is just, wow..it's amazing. The universe can really suck at times, but then again sometimes it doesn't. Cancer sucks, it will always suck.  Read Hazel &amp; Augustus's story. I can't promise you that you will like it, it's sad, but I can promise you that you will laugh, cry, sob, &amp; fall in love. I'm going to go buy some champagne, get a taste of the stars. Okay. &lt;3</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2ON6QV3ES8NQY?ASIN=014242417X	Loved it	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I absolutely love this book. I love how after having no hope some man with almost the same problem sweep her off her feet. Alas I find the ending very sad and emotional. Having your boyfriend in a wheelchair then having him prepare a pre-funeral then DIE is so tragic. If I had cancer and thought I would never be happy then fall in love to have my heart broken by the man I love is truly devastating. If that were to be me and my boyfriend I would feel the same way. I absolutely love this book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R912AR30UO3NI?ASIN=014242417X	Not a depressing book focused on the futility of cancer, more of a celebration of life story.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Great book.  The best  part of this story, is that although it deals with cancer, it's not a depressing piece focused on the futility of cancer. While it does deal with the tragedy and difficulties of the disease, it spends much more time focused on the ""living your life"" and ""making every moment count"" attitudes.<br/><br/>I didn't want a depressing cancer book, and was very afraid that's what I had bought... I was pleasantly surprised, and really enjoyed reading this book!</span>"

It was refreshing that the protagonist is a 15 year old girl. I totally related to this lead character....hmmm.<br/>Many pages had me laughing out loud and crying all in the same page.  This story is about some kids<br/>that met in a kids cancer support group.  No spoiler here but its frigging very happy and very friggin, friggin sad.<br/>When your days are limited you live each day to the fullest.  Many life lessions to be learned here.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1XEXFA5N92KJU?ASIN=014242417X	enjoyable quick read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read this book over a period of two days during vacation, of course not reading the whole time, so it was a quick and easy read. I did relearn some words, which is always nice. I did not find the dialogue of the characters pretentious, but enjoyable. I believe my teenage self would have identified with them. Not my favorite book by far, not the ""deepest"" story I've ever read, but a good read that held my attention until the end and made me think a little harder about life and love.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1ASWQ9GJL6XFQ?ASIN=014242417X	good for kids & adults	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I'm a Physical Therapist, recently I've been treating babies &amp; children w/ cancer. This book provided healing catharsis during a week that I was overwhelmed w/ stress. I don't agree w/ the author's ideas &amp; theories about spirituality &amp; afterlife. But reading Green's simple, honest, existential interchanges between young characters, who are learning to become individuals while dealing with the personal catastrophe of cancer, enabled a release of sorrow and pity to which I was holding tightly.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R26CFH2Y3C86TW?ASIN=014242417X	EXCELLENT READ!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Love the characters in this book.  If you, like us, have had a child with cancer, this book is even more fabulous.  The way that these characters deal with each other and deal with their own illnesses is right on to the way that it really is.  Teens with these issues DO talk do each other like this, but you never ever see that portrayed anywhere.  It is quite wonderful for them to actually see characters out there in a popular book, soon to be a movie, dealing with the things they deal with.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R181MH0MGXR9H9?ASIN=014242417X	Best Book in a Long Time	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I heard about this book from my friend. I am a huge fan of John Green, so I was eager to read it. As I started reading, I soon found out that I couldn't stop. I read the whole book on my flight from Houston to Chicago. I was almost sad to have finished it so soon. But the great thing about great books, is that they never get old. I have read this book 13 times and I have the same emotional effect every time. This book is well written and I recommend you read it before the movie comes out. (:</span>"

An accurate tale of feelings of those dealing with cancer and the feelings of their loved ones with unexpected twists and some predictable ones. You'll cry happy and sad tears and be reminded to appreciate what we have today.<br/><br/>Such an easy read and so worth your time. I would recommend this book to almost everyone I know and will re-read this book again in the future.<br/><br/>Highly recommended!</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3DFRAQ2ZV67Q2?ASIN=014242417X	Absolutely Breath-taking!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This novel has touched my heart. Knowing that these teenagers had to live with constant pain and agony, they are much stronger than individuals who do not have cancer. Throughout my reading, I kept falling in love with Augustus and Hazels' love.. But to my disappointment, it had a twist in the end. I was sobbing when I was reading the last few chapters of the novel. Overall, this novel was beautifully written and I will recommend it to any teen or adult to take some time and read this book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3S2IOUARFCJ11?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault In Our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is one of the best books I've ever read. By the description you might think it's just a stupid teen romance book but it actually has a deep and meaningful message. The only problem I have with it is that it basically revolves around the same plot as every John Green book. There are two awkward antisocial teenagers who fall in love and then something deeply tragic happens causing the hero to go in search of true love and find themself.

However, as a middle school teacher, I try to read what students suggest so that we can have genuine conversations about the book. I couldn't put it down. I enjoy Hazel's attitude, intelligence, and perspective. Augustus was such an interesting character and incredibly well developed. I don't believe in spoilers, so I will just say this: worth the read, and you won't be disappointed. Highly recommend it!</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R4KYEVVNOSSO3?ASIN=014242417X	poignant but not maudlin	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is a book about children dying from cancer - not a topic most of us would think is the makings of a good novel. At least not one that is not so sad you don't want to keep reading. But the author does a great job of making the characters funny and poignant simultaneously. Very real characters -not just the two main ones of Hazel and Augustus, but his friend, Isaac, her parents and even the alcoholic author that wrote the book that gave them insight into life and death. A very good read.</span>"

Not only because it put me on an emotional rollercoaster, but also because I realized some really important things about life. Honestly we all have our flaws (as I have dyslexia), but there is always someone who has it worse and I would do anything in my power to change that. To me also, everything is a side affect of death, but the way I see it, you have to learn to except everything. I would suggest this book to people of all ages. Okay? Okay.</span>"

I couldn't be happier with it! A friend recommended it to me and once I started reading, I couldn't stop. The story line is gripping and you're never bored reading this book. The characters are unique and have very detailed personalities, making the context fun. The concepts that the writer has thought up are so amazing and he opened my eyes to so many new perspectives! I definitely plan on reading more of his books. Definetely a 5 star book!</span>"

It was a simple story, but well told. I guess there were some aspects of the book that bothered me because they seemed unrealistic. I don't know a lot of 17 year olds who are so charming, polite...the whole package basically, like Augustus is. And I would have liked to see more emotion from both of them...something that made it feel more real. The book wasn't for my taste, but I did enjoy the love story though it was heart wrenching. A quick read.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2SBXGZQFXAFEI?ASIN=014242417X	Very touching.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is touching in that it deals with sensitive subjects, showing us an inner life of the evil beast that is cancer. This book shares the agony of the parents of teens with cancer, but mainly it deals with the teens. Yes, it's sad, but it's real and it's funny and insightful. These teenagers are beyond amazing, intelligent, developed and beautifully spirited. I didn't cry, like many others say, but then I don't always seem to cry at reality. Reality often sucks, but it is what it is.</span>"

I have never felt such tragedy and such deep love in a novel before. Your heart truly aches for these two ill fated lovers. The story was so eye opening and made me question the parameters of the universe and my purpose here. I loved the different view points Hazel and Augustus had; it made for a very humorous take on humans and life itself. This was an absolute incredible story that I will forever remember and now will look at the world in new ways.</span>"

Something about it doesn't gel well with me.. meh! But The Fault in Our Stars changed that opinion. I liked Gus's and Hazel's sense of humor and how they deal with their illness. Their story is warm and sweet.<br/><br/>What I didn't like is they don't sound normal.. yeah, they don't sound like teenagers they are supposed to be. In fact, some of it, sounded too mature and unbelievable even for me!<br/><br/>All in all, its a nice book and is goes fast.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2NDIWVR58HZQB?ASIN=014242417X	Just beautiful	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I didn't want this book to ever end, it was just that beautiful.  The narrator was smart and funny in an ironic sort of way (which, given her situation, was the only way to be) and I just loved her honesty and utter lack of pretense.  Her interactions with her boyfriend were riveting and I was glad that she was with a boy who was so right for her and who loved her so much.  I can't write anything more without giving out spoilers so I will just say that reading this book is time well spent.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2MOB91JWGXLEJ?ASIN=014242417X	Poignant story about teens who meet and fall in love at a cancer support group	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Brief summary and review, no spoilers:<br/><br/>In this story we are introduced to our two main protagonists - Hazel who is 17 and has metastasized  thyroid cancer, and Augustus, a strapping and handsome 16 year old with osteosarcoma.  They meet at a cancer support group, where Hazel tells us there's a ""rotating cast of characters', many often gone because they died.  Hazels diagnosis is the most dire and she is really just being kept alive by a new experimental drug that seems to keep the tumors in control, although it is not believed for much longer. Augustus has the type of cancer where the odds are good -  over 4 our of 5 survive - but he has lost a leg to the cancer and can no longer partake in the sports he loved.<br/><br/>Add in to the mix a young man named Isaac, who is a skinny young blonde who introduced them both. Isaac has already lost one eye, and has no choice but to have his good eye removed in order to free himself of his own cancer. His trying to deal with that along with the angst of teen love is truly touching and sad.<br/><br/>Hazel has read a novel called An Imperial Affliction by a Dutch author named Peter Van Houten which details the experiences and death of a young girl named Anna, who has died of leukemia. It is Hazel's favorite book and but she has a lot of questions about the ending of the story which ends abruptly - and Hazel wants to know what happens to the other characters she has grown to care about. She gets Augustus interested in this as well, and part of the story is their attempt to find out what happened.<br/><br/>This is a really beautiful book in many ways. It's most obviously poignant and deeply moving as we empathize as best we can with what it must be like to be so young and face such ""unfairness."" These kids can't be regular teenagers as desperate as they want to be, and they have thoughts and expectations that are continually molded by their predicament.<br/><br/>The book is a very fast read and you will not want to put it down. The characters are both so likable and there is not a wasted word. You are really brought inside their world.<br/><br/>In critique, and the only thing that stops me from giving this 5 stars, is that I had some problems with the dialogue which I thought was stilted. I just don't think teenagers - even these ones - would talk like that. This really didn't bother me as much because their dialogue and discussions are so sweet and profound that it made the story quite rich - but it did occasionally keep from totally buying into it.<br/><br/>Recommended - you will really appreciate your own blessings and good health after reading this interesting story.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The writing is beautiful; the story is simple yet appropriately intricate; the love between the two characters is palpable. I'm a big reader though I have never imagined myself being drawn to anything that falls under the romance genre. This was my first and I'm glad it was. I didn't know that a book could create the essence of love and deliver it to the reader's imagination so flawlessly. John Green...you are now one of my favorite authors.

I really love him for bringing out these emotions with his words. I wish I could ask him about Hazel, but Hazel might not like that, so I will be okay not knowing, only imagining &amp; imagining great things. Like she was at peace after reading that.

I may be only ten years old, but this book is one I'd read countless times. As I quote my favorite Gus and Hazel Grace: ""Maybe okay will be our always."" I quote my dear, alcohol addicted Peter Van Houten, ""Some infinities are bigger than others."" I love you, my dear Gus Waters and Hazel Grace Lancaster, wherever you may be.</span>"

I thought it was interesting to view a teenagers perspective especially one that has cancer.  I could visualize myself as having cancer and finding it pointless going to school and being sad for that matter as you watch your friends distance themselves because you have cancer.  I thought the twist at the end was good and sad.  I have not seen the movie yet but am looking forward to it.  I just hope they did as good a job on the movie as Mr. Green did on the book.</span>"

I liked taking a difficult subject and presenting it from the ""teen"" point of view to interject humor.  However, it was easy enough to figure out what was going to happen, what secrets the characters held, etc. I didn't feel invested in the characters and felt nothing regarding their struggles. It seems like another piece of pop fiction that is lauded as groundbreaking to make a quick buck off the movie and resulting merchandise.</span>"

It is about a girl named Hazel Grace Lancaster. She falls in love with a boy named Augustus Waters. Augustus had cancer before and pretends to smoke cigarettes but never lights them as a metaphor. Hazel has lung cancer. They go on an adventure to Amsterdam to meet an author of a book they are in love with.They have an infinite love story that is to cry for. It is appropriate for ages 13 and up. Some mature language and a teen love story.</span>"

You see I don't know if he ever acknowledged that he was dying. It is so difficult to see the battle raging inside someone and not be able to stop it. He was so brave, but very not the person I knew before cancer. The man I loved and knew I think actually died when he found out he had cancer. But nonetheless this is a beautiful story about life more than death and the author captured it wonderfully.</span>"

You cry and ask yourself about what challenges you have faced and if they are any match to what these characters have gone through.  You would have to stop reading mid sentence just to adjust to how meaningful and what the sentence said and meant.

It's a humane and heart-breaking novel about teenagers with cancer, without a trace of condescension or sentimentality. I learned a lot. The teenagers' voices are ironic and sweet, and admirably forgiving of their helplessly grieving parents. I appreciated the references to Anne Frank's diary and especially to ""The Emperor of All Maladies,"" a great book about cancer.</span>"

When I read this I get so lost into the story that I often time refer to Hazel, Gus, and even John Green as if they were my best friends and not fictional characters and an author I obsess over from afar.

Have kleenex ready but also clear the room so people wonr stare at you when you laugh.  The movie should be perfect for teenage girls, lots of opportunities for tears.  Another thing I hope this brings to the forefront is that people don't need to be afraid of people with disabilities or cancer, everyone has the same hopes and fears in their life and needs interraction.  Maybe this book will demonstrate that.</span>"

I might be an adult but the fact is this book gives people the hope that there is a person out there that is willing to accept a person with all of their faults.<br/>I laughed and cried while reading this book.

I also think that this book made me a better person after reading it, and can you really ask for anything better from a book?<br/>John Green is such a wonderful writer, I found myself searching for his other books once I finished this one. I know people who did the exact same thing, he's just so good.<br/>Please read this book, because it will give you a bigger infinity in a couple of days.:)</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I absolutely love this book, and anything by John Green really. This book takes the cake, it's hilarious, heart-wrenching and beautiful. The movie is coming out soon and I am both terrified and excited. If you read this book, ready your Kleenex because as Ron Weasley says, ""You're going to suffer, but you're going to be happy about it.""

I was so wrong.  This was wonderful and once I started, I couldn't stop reading.  I fell in love with the characters, even ball-less Patrick.  When I was a little girl and complained that something wasn't fair, my exasperated mother would say, ""Sharon, whoever told you life was fair?""  This is a story about unfair life and how people can live above that.  Brilliant.</span>"

I almost didn't purchase this title because it was based on high-schoolers but I just couldn't help myself after downloading the sample.  I was so hooked on this book - I stayed up all night to read it.  When it was over, I kept going back to my phone to do more reading on my Kindle App, just to remember that I already finished :(<br/>This is a novel for all ages, I absolutely loved it, recommended it to my Mother and Grandmother.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1AG5VXSB5R8MK?ASIN=014242417X	Good and something different for a change	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Loved the storyline: the main characters are teenagers faced with the battles of having cancer and surviving cancer. Very heartwarming and well-written. The only flaw in my mind is that the teenagers, albeit very intelligent, used words in their vocabulary and referenced topics that most educated, sophisticated adults don't even use or are aware of. I consider myself fairly intelligent and I had to look up a dozen words that these ""teenagers"" were using in their text messages!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2QSSQRGXN9HLC?ASIN=014242417X	Witty, charming, philosophical, and yes a little sad	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The writing is absolutely amazing. I normally despise first person narratives but this one had me hooked. It was so fresh and honest about so many things regarding life (which I will not mention lest I spoil the various lessons the book teaches).<br/><br/>And surprisingly it's actually not all that sad for the majority of the book, which I was worried a book about cancer might be, nor is it overly cheesy (another concern). It has a really great balance to make this story feel real.</span>"

It's what made this book so difficult to read, you could almost feel hazels constant pain in her chest yourself. I loved how this book put loving and dying into a completely different perspective. It was enlightening and has changed the way I perceive having a purpose. Because this too, is something I struggle with. Your purpose. Leaving behind your mark. Your scar on the world.</span>"

I read the book in one sitting and found it to be the most depressing book I have every opened.  It made me so nervous that I put it down every hour and  headed to the refrigerator for comfort food just to get away from it.  Note  I never stopped reading, not even the with thought I might gain 10 lbs with all of the junk food I consumed..then I was depressed and  physically ill.  Not a great read,</span>"

This was the kind of book that I couldn't put down once I began, and at the same time, it is too meticulously and cleverly written to want to plough through it without reflection.</span>"

I had heard an interview by one of the stars of the movie, who said the movie, anyway, was ""not really about cancer.""  The book, however, is very much about cancer and how it affects the lives of the main characters and their friends and parents and each other.  It was very truthful and delved deeply into the psychological effects of the characters and was very well-written, made me cry, but was well-worth the read.</span>"

From the title of this novel you know there will not be a traditionally happy ending but the way Mr Green takes you there is poetic and gentle.<br/>This story made me cry but in the best way possible. He writes in a way that makes you understand the characters but apply them to yourself, so it comes out as a greater understanding of life than a story about a specific character.<br/>I know that I will be thinking of this for days. Definitely something you should read.</span>"

She meets Augustus Waters and everything changes.

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3AJFLQ3KT62ZO?ASIN=014242417X	it ended too soon	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book ended faster than I thought or maybe I just read too fast. This book was great. I laughed, I cried, and feel a better sense of being so young with not a lot of time left. The banter in here doesn't seem consistent with their age. Who at 16 can honestly be so eloquent? But I enjoyed the relationship that quickly developed between the two characters. I highly recommend it and would most likely see the movie when it comes out, although I'm sure it wouldn't live up to the book.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R30PFDKOAEJSC5?ASIN=014242417X	Finding Few Faults in The Fault in Our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I loved this book.  It was witty and very truthful.  I loved the big words and obscure references to the two books that were their favorites.  Best of all, though this is a ""coming of age"" book,  the physical part of their love was delicate and largely undescribed.  As it should be for highly sensitive persons even though fictional.  We need more books like this: tasteful, profound and uncluttered by gratuitous violence or sex.  The story and wit shines without such clutter!</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2IO5A9ZD0HDIZ?ASIN=014242417X	Such a beautiful yet sad story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I picked up this book because my daughter read it. She was so upset with the storyline that she walked into the kitchen and stated,""I don't know if you're going to read this book or not but I'm going to tell you what happens"". I realised the story was upsetting her. So I let her tell me what happened. Once she was done I knew I had to read the story for myself. Even though I already knew what was going to happen. Let me tell you it did not make it any easier. What a beautiful story!</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R17FO3D1SPIA3M?ASIN=014242417X	Glad it was so short	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This wasn't a bad book, but it wasn't worth the hype either. No matter how much Green denies it Hazel is a Manic Pixie Dream Girl, and really, so is Gus. Hazel has no agency, is talked into everything that happens in this novel by other characters, and is only there to tell Gus's story for him. Hazel's story starts and ends with Gus, and that is both sexist and sad. And not the good kind of sad the surprises you, but the blatant emotional manipulation that leaves you feeling played.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2CHJ68RS522IT?ASIN=014242417X	Book makes you take stock of the impact you've made	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Wonderful book that reminds us how important the most unassuming people can be in our lives.<br/>Sometimes the dialogue is a little unrealistic. Being not that far removed from my teenage years, and even being somewhat nerdy, I can safely say that I would have never used some of the words and phrases the characters use. That fact is easily overlooked because it adds to the precociousness of the characters.<br/>I laughed, cried, and yearned for a great love while reading this book.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RLFRUG858PQ94?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This was the best book ever. Augustus and Hazel were so much in love and it is amazing how John Green described there relationship. I just can't even put into words how much I loved this book. I cried several times, but it was worth it. I was also very sad when I got to the end, but there is no need for a sequel. I like how it leaves you with an amazing feeling at the end, and that this book lets you decide for yourself what happens to Hazel Grace. I can't wait for the movie! #tfios</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I have a chronic, possibly terminal disease. This book combines wit ( a type of wit the healthy may cringe at upon reading), but is more than, much more than plucky teens being sarcastic about  their impending fates<br/>It is really a story about philosophical question about life's meaning. Enjoy, and be appreciative of every faculty you have. In the words of our friend Spock, Live Long And Prosper, and, who knows? You may life to be as famous as his quote. Just  don't count on it.</span>"

But thus book really makes me question pain and death and what happens after we are gone. It shows true love even though some don't believe in it. It helps a person understand  that people have battles worse than others. But to be able to survive would be a success. I'm pretty sure Hazel would be very angry from me saying that. But to be able to live is a gift. But only some can have and keep that gift.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2M2EOMWDA00N6?ASIN=014242417X	heartbreakingly beautiful	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I loved it so unbelievably much. Though I found that my heart aches a little more and tears fall, I can not help but love it all the same. This was not just some heartbreaking tragedy but rather a story where you learn. You make connections that deeply move the soul and you grow from everything in this. That is why I recommend this book. Not because it is an amazing story which it no doubt is, but rather, you grow and suddenly your world is just a little different, possibly clearer.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2406AF4KOYMRI?ASIN=014242417X	My Fault for Expecting Too Much	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I became interested in reading this book when I saw the author and actress interviewed on television.  The first two-thirds of the book is a touching teenage love story.  Yes, they both have suffered from illnesses but some of the dialog is humorous.  The last third of the book is sadder.  Without spoiling it for the reader, l'll just say that it didn't end the way I expected.  With all the raving reviews, I was expecting something more.  Maybe I am too old to appreciate teen love.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2D4U7JFNZPPF2?ASIN=014242417X	Doesn't live up to expectation	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">thought provoking, tender, sweet love story. I especially enjoyed the parts featuring the parents and their relationships with the teens. However, I found the character of Hazel to be self centered and annoying. the whole first half of the book I was screaming ok inside, how does she not know?! Wish it had been written in from the pov of Gus, who was far more charismatic and likeable. Overall a good read, but the story certainly wasn't as good as I was hoping for with all the hype.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1BYXDW5I1NFDT?ASIN=014242417X	Too many feelings	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This was such a beautifully written book, and I sobbed through most of it. Hazel is an honest narrator and her developing relationship with Augustus is terrifying to read because I knew they were doomed. Similarly to An Imperial Affliction, the story ends before it really ends. Maybe it is best that way, not knowing how long Hazel really has and what happens to her family after she's gone. Regardless, I'm so glad that I read this book and I will definitely re-read it in the future.</span>"

It was hard for me to read some parts because I have Thyroid Cancer and this book just hit too close to home on how I feel at times, It is very true to life and how you feel when you are faced with a devastating disease as Cancer. Thank you Mister John Green for being a voice for us all, I loved this book sooooo much and can't wait to read more books from this amazing author as this was my first:)</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R37II74P7A1D9W?ASIN=014242417X	New Favorite	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is a real tear jerker, you laugh, you cry, you get angry at some of the characters for being so annoying and not just admitting what is obvious. And although not all of the twists were uncalled for, the all brought tears to your eyes. This is a book that sends a message to take nothing for granted because today could be your last and you should smile even when smiling feels like shooting yourself in the face. READ. THIS.

Worse than any movie you'll watch.<br/>John Green is such a talented writer. I would recommend this book to anyone and everyone. I read about 85% of it in one night. so I'd consider it a quick read. But it's definitely worth it.<br/><br/>My only advice: stay off the Internet. Thanks to lovely social networks I had found out what happens in the end.

It's really for everyone of all ages though.  I am 47 years old and LOVED it.  The characters were so well written.  This is not necessarily a depressing book.  I was afraid to read it and wondered why so many teens loved it if it's about cancer patients.  But this book is about 2 people who are in love, but they happen to have cancer.  John Green is a wonderful writer and this book proves it.  He has quite a few other novels that I loved also.</span>"

Funny (in a gallows-humor kind of way) and beautifully written, especially considering that the author is a 30-year-old man, speaking as a 16-year-old girl. I will long remember Hazel Grace, Augustus and Isaac. Hint: Don't try to finish this book in a public place, such as a doctor's office, or people will wonder what's wrong with you (and why you're crying).</span>"

I loved the characters, the path that they took together and their journey. I loved the fictitious book in this story and how it ends and how it depicts the reality of this story and the reality of death, that it just ends, in the middle of a sentence, in the middle of a life.... John Green did an AMAZING job with these characters and making them real and believable.  I loved this book!</span>"

I love love stories but this is not just another love story.  It makes you mad.It makes you cry. It makes you wonder when you die or if you will lose someone close to you. I did not like that I had cried so much over it. However If a book brings all these emotions to You then it is a good book. Everyone should read this. John Green also has a YouTube channel and many other books. I suggest you check them out and give them a try.</span>"

He tells a story to his young adult audience without being patronizing. The story of two young people who meet at a cancer survivors group is sad, yes, but speaks just as much about strength of character, intelligence and humor in the face of crushing odds as it does about how crappy life can be at times.<br/>The characters are believable as they navigate their way through cancer, love, friendships, family and loss. I loved this book!</span>"

If you're looking for an easy read, this book is perfect for vacation, the beach, or just a simple light read.  Make sure you take a 2nd book if you take it on vacation, though.

I wanted to see what teenagers are reading these days. This was not a feel good teenager cancer patient's story, more inside the head of a teenager traveling the cancer treatment path. It's a good story of making friends, trusting someone, and loving even in the worst of circumstances. The reason I didn't give it 5 stars.... I didn't care for the cursing, especially for young readers.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1ESWPS4ME3N8?ASIN=014242417X	Interesting Ideas	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read this on the recommendation of a colleague. We thought that the reactions towards disability and illness were very true to life. We also thought the depiction of the struggle it is to do some of the things that for others is just daily living (like fly in an airplane) was interesting. The discord with the YA author is a little forced, especially at the end. The sex act and references would make it a difficult book to teach in a formal classroom setting in some communities.</span>"

It's a top 5 for sure. This is not a happily ever after. Don't go looking for it, you won't find it. It is a very strong, powerful story of love and loss and it deserves to be read. I saw this movie after reading the book with my friend Daniel. I lost him a few weeks later to a heart attack and this was the last movie we saw together. I recommend you read the book first, then see the movie and have tissues ready for both.</span>"

This book caught me by surprise, it didn't take the turns I expected and never took the easy way out. This is one of the most moving and fantastic books I have read and admittedly there were times I had to stop reading for a few minutes for my feelings to catch up. The characters feel real and the one liners keep parts of the story from getting too serious.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3GEE15OEPTF9O?ASIN=014242417X	Cancer and the Struggle...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Augustus and Hazel struggled to find meaning in their lives in spite of their terminal cancer.  Finding love for them was the answer and the solution to not making cancer their focus.<br/>We all have our issues in life. This book reminds us that we must work to be happy in spite of these issues. God wants us to be happy. This book potentially could appeal to all age levels but feels like it was meant for a young person who does not know what love can provide to an aching heart.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3256OX9NKOQF?ASIN=014242417X	One of Those Really Good Books.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Have you ever wanted a book about a trooper? Hazel is definitely a trooper. I have this book a 5 star rating because it is a story about love, with a surprising good guy in the end. In the end, there is acceptance and peace about life's unfairness. This is one of those books that you just can't put down. In the end, it makes you feel all warm and fuzzy on the inside.<br/>I would definitely recommend this book for 12 year olds and up. I adored this book and I think you will too.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R13PVSNH7J369C?ASIN=014242417X	life	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book gives us an insight on something most block out. It talks about life and not just life but real life. Most don't think about how death would be until your faced with it than it crashes down on us. This book shows that dying isn't the end of the world, that you can still live while dying. It's a book I think everyone should read once, because it shares and gives us a little look into reality without having to be cursed with it. I recommend you read it. That's my review.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1K9YT1Q4J9NJ8?ASIN=014242417X	Pretty good	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I liked this book. And I am wary of ANY book that is sad (this book is at times).  I was impressed with how spot on the author was in his writing from the perspective of a teenager, especially a teenager in love. Well done.  It got a little too poetic/deep for me at times, and I didn't quite buy the idea of them flying to the Netherlands (that part could've been better developed to be believable).  And I was confused by the second venn diagram.  Overall it was a good, fast read.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R14VJTXZUMJ5AI?ASIN=014242417X	Ummmm......what?	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Finally finished. I don't know why, but it took me a month to get halfway through it, then 2 months to pick it up and finish it. We'll today I read the last half completely. Good story, but I think the first half dragged for me a bit. Without giving anything away, I think the writer left me with the same type of unanswered frustration that the heroine of the story had throughout the whole book. My fault, I saw that coming and did nothing about it. Now I can watch the movie.....</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1KL4WCFVYVKY5?ASIN=014242417X	Worth All the Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I was opposed to this book when I first picked it up. I didn't want to cry. And I can testify that even though my eyes did well up at some moments, I never did shed a tear. The words written here touched my heart. I felt that I was a part of Hazel's story, being merely a distant friend. I want to live it again and I encourage everyone to let this story into their heart too, so that they may learn what it has to teach them. I'll never look at life (and death) the same way again.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RB41RTXA88PRS?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault In Our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault In Our Stars is an overall amazing book. I started reading it on my kindle around eleven o clock. I had to finish the book. It was just that good! Then at the very end of the book, I must admit that I was in tears. I finished around 1:25 am. I enjoyed this book so much. My grandma had cancer twice, but thankfully she's still living the life. I highly recommend this book, that is if your ready for the twists and turns, ups and downs, and all the other great things John</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R25N9YF5RPOPT6?ASIN=014242417X	READ IT NOW	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I think EVERYONE who is 12 and older needs to read this book. There are only 5-10 books that I actually COULDN'T put down, and this was one of them! There is are lots of parts in this book where you will laugh, and parts that you will cry.. The end was SO sad, if you don't cry, your made out of stone, like seriously. Hazel and Augustus where perfect!! Just WARNING the end is sad, but it is so worth it! Go read it, just go. I can't wait for the movie! I'm counting down the days!</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2MKTNM7IVT294?ASIN=014242417X	Don't be afraid to read this book!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">After battling cancer myself I refused to read this book. I was living it...I did NOT want to read about a teenager dying if cancer. I also have two children and I was so afraid this book would just terrify me. So I picked it up and refused to buy it.<br/><br/>I'm so glad I finally bought this book. Yes it's a scary topic but the author didn't make that 100% of the focus. It was a beautiful story about love, support, friendship, family, courage and generosity. Wonderful book!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2YV94Q1JKO09E?ASIN=014242417X	A beautifully broken book for the beautifully broken	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read many books. There are a few that touch me to my very core, my very soul. This was one of the special few. Green writes honestly in a way that is effortless and real. I laughed. I sobbed. I felt truth ring true inside me. I've already read it twice, recommended it to everyone I know, and am looking forward to the sweet hours when I will read it again. This story is an infinite treasure, and as you, dear reader, will learn, some infinities are bigger than other infinities.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1TVVNACG70BFV?ASIN=014242417X	brilliant	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I am sure anyone reading this knows the premise of this book by now. It's a sad story and yet I find, coming to the end, I am not really saddened by it. Instead I believe this book is life-affirming. This book could have been such a melodramatic cliche, a tear-jerker, a teen-age romance. But it is none of these things. It is a wonderful story about the nature of life and therefore, death and how it is possible to face both of these things with grace, humor, hope and acceptance.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3KOHUOUSUB2RA?ASIN=014242417X	Absolute perfection! Well done John Green!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is hands down one of the best books I've ever read, and I read a lot! Everything about this book was perfect. The characters are so real and I found myself loving them as though they were real people. It goes through so many emotions and you might find yourself emersed in the book further than you expected.<br/><br/>WARNING! This book will send you on an emotional journey and you will find yourself in tears, but you won't regret a single second you spent reading it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1MKP3TW5B5TP9?ASIN=014242417X	An excellent YA novel	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Not your typical YA novel. Green packs metaphors and symbolism in places that really give the book depth to keep any reader engaged. At times I feel this can go over the reader's head and can make the book seem a little heavy handed. However, the book's miraculous flow will keep even an unassigned reader engaged. Even though at some points you can feel Green talking to the reader, he does use an excellent voice for Hazel. A great for young adult and fans of young adult fiction.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3AVOG1X0KPHS8?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing book!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars is my new favorite book! This book had me laughing until I couldn't breathe and crying until I couldn't see! The book shows a true love story and the battle of illness. The author tells the love story and shows that true love lasts no matter what obstacles get in their way. I fell in love with the characters and felt as if I was in the book with them! You won't be able to put the book down! I recommend this book to everyone! (...keep the tissues close;))</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1D3NRTUPWW7RK?ASIN=014242417X	Heartwarming, Heartbreaking, and amazing. (No Spolier Review)	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is one of the best books I've read in years. It's completely not what I expected. It's not the classic love story, or the classic cancer story. It is the perfect combination of the two. I feel like I've learned from this book, and I've truly felt the hardships these characters face. I thank the author, John Green, for bringing such a beautiful book into public and into the lives of many. This book will always hold a special place in my heart, just add the characters will.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1KMYDFW5JV0DQ?ASIN=014242417X	Magnificent Truth	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Though this book is fictional, it speaks the truth. I found myself crying through most of this book, making me realize a vast majority of happening that surrounds me. This story I say has to be one of the best that I have ever laid eyes on in my 14 years.. I truly appreciate John Green for such thoughts and writings, they have made me want to re-read this book yet once more. Truly recommend this book to anyone, it changes your thoughts and keeps you stunned. Love this book. &lt;3</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2FLMR74IMWTCS?ASIN=014242417X	Thought provoking	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This was my first time reading a book by this author and his style definitely isn't a favorite of mine as for some reason I found it difficult to get into and the wording was a bit confusing and over the top. However by the end I had gotten somewhat used to it, and was happy I stuck with it. This is a thought provoking book with a compelling story that makes you wonder a lot about life and death and all the questions we don't have answers to. Make sure to have tissues nearby!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R15T2UN0GK8P8L?ASIN=014242417X	A great book butt a little depressing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">having just lost my mother to liver cancer, this book really hit home. my 14 year old daughter made me read it and it gave me a really different perspective I<br/>had of cancer patients but it really helped. just wish I had read it 8 months ago. I can honestly say it's helping me deal with my mom's death because I never understood from her perspective what went on in her mind knowing she would be leaving us and there was really nothing we could do to change it.  a good read.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R38JWYH9MVHL8G?ASIN=014242417X	awesome!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Don't end yet! I've never been a reader to be honest but I heard about this book and decided I'd read it from start to finish! Congratulations John Green! You got me to read an entire book. That's a miracle ..I loved it and will now move onto another book of yours. It was beautifully written and had just the right amount of details to help my visual mind along and keep me revving for more! It definitely pulls on the heart..beware!  In a very special and real life kind of way.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1ONZ9BBXL88G9?ASIN=014242417X	Beautiful and emotional book!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I LOVED The Fault in Our Stars!!!  I instantly fell in love with characters. It's just ADORABLE. Some moments are a bit serious, but not intensely serious(fortunately). It very emotional. If you're an emotional person...<br/>BE PREPARED!!<br/> I read this book at school and started sobbing! It just makes your emotions act up. It's beautifully written and is now my most favorite book ever!!! I recommend it for more mature readers, but other than that everyone should read it!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3Q4LYXTYGX52?ASIN=014242417X	Tissues are needed	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I am absolutely in love with this book and it's truly an emotional rollercoaster that as Augustus would say only goes up. I honestly don't care for reading much but I  just finished this work of art in under a day. It's such a heartfelt book and I would and have recommend it to every person I know. Down to the last page you fall in love with the characters and think of them like your own family. Please if you haven't read it already please do I promise you will not regret it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R24ID1KYQOZP03?ASIN=014242417X	A simply amazing and touching novel.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Once I started reading  this book, I was staying up each night until about 1 or 2 in the morning to read it, just because it was a great book, that I just couldn't put down. I will admit that at the end I cried, because it was sad. The plot and characters were amazing, and John Green made this story different from other books, in a good way. Even though I cannot relate to having cancer or really knowing someone with cancer, this story struck me in a way a book has never done.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2NIPFJD9JDMRQ?ASIN=014242417X	Esther Wermer	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book shows that life goes unexpected. You never know when you are going to die. Hazel excepted that. She knew that, but you could tell that she didn't expect Augustus to die before her. The book also shows that life doesn't  wait  or stop for you. People continue with their lives no matter how much depression they are going through when you die. People say they don't want to live forever, but everyone wants to. Not one person wants their family to deal with their death.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R11AAO0N7J6YE?ASIN=014242417X	I love the book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I love the book. There's no book that's made me cry, the most sad part was they never got to be together as I hope they would. There love was so beautiful I've never seen anything like it it's one of a kind. Nut I also think it should have had a better ending I feel like the a impartial affection with no ending what so ever. But I'll wait it again there love makes me cry there could not have been a better way to describe it like the author did. I love the fault in our stars.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1NFALBR4BUSS?ASIN=014242417X	Best all time love story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book will be remembered for not only showed that anyone can find love, but for also showing that love can be found in the most unusual places and ways. This isn't one of those cheesy or clique love stories; this shows how love really is. It shows that being in love can be hard and ruff, but in the end it's all worth it because you got to spend time with that person, whether it be a day, a month, or a year. You won't find a better love story than what you are looking at.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RKXS99I0N10LP?ASIN=014242417X	Life changing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I would give this a million stars if I had that many to give. I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves witty &amp; brilliant writing mixed with a beautiful story with many meanings! To me, this book changed my entire perspective of life and illness. I live with an illness that cannot be closely comparable to cancer, and even though this is fictional, I've heard the struggles of people with cancer. The back story is amazing as well. If you love great books - it's for you!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2FVY2LCB3TTVA?ASIN=014242417X	A New Perspective	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Clever and real, Green has given you the opportunity to open your eyes and heart and experience a whole new world, one that people living with cancer are all too familiar with but that the rest of us may never know about. So, it is possible to acknowledge death without being hopeless..<br/><br/>I put off reading this book for so long because I did not want to waste time toiling through a sad book. But this has been NOTHING of either likes. 100% glad I finally picked it up!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R12F5VZ2PHIAUD?ASIN=014242417X	A book with impact.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was interesting and I felt that the characters were well developed. It was profound and I found myself thinking about it long after I was finished reading it. It was well written and intelligent. The reason I didn't give it five stars is because I've never met a teenager in my life capable of such introspection. The vocabulary wasn't consistent with the age of the character. It doesn't effect the impact though. Just something you have to take in stride. Great read.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R36GPYBEX8YFRR?ASIN=014242417X	Three Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Shipping was untrackable, and took a minute, but otherwise great</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3F463EOZ8RFCX?ASIN=014242417X	Very Emotional Read!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I cry my eyes out every time I read this book! John Green really makes you feel everything that the characters are feeling. I laugh and cry and feel a wide range of emotion when reading this book. I love books that can make me feel things, and I couldn't put this book down the first time I read it. I've read it several times since, and still feel all the same emotions, and still laugh and cry at all the same parts. I love this book, and it is definitely one of my favorites!</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RIN9JDANROK5E?ASIN=014242417X	Faulted	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is excellent, I just wished they made the movie more like the book. He knew he was going to die and yet his thoughts were only of her. She knew the facts and didn't make any excuses using her cancer to get away in life. Hazel Grace accepted life the fullest and Gus realized it doesn't take the whole universe to be remembered, only one person ; the closet ones will remember you always in their hearts. You take life to the fullest never knowing when your time is up.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2AE6D86TUEOQ1?ASIN=014242417X	I didn't like this book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I didn't like this book. The subject matter is depressing to say the least. Besides that, teenager don't really speak the way the characters in the book speak.  Even the use of ""whatever"" very popular these days with teenagers, did not make the teenage speech any more credible. It's probably a stylistic preference, but not one I like. That being said, the book gives the reader a different and interesting perspective of what it must be like to have cancer as a child.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2SY0IDBY0TVER?ASIN=014242417X	AMAZING!!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The fault in our stars is an amazing love story that takes you through an adventure of strength and courage. I cried during this wonderful novel. It would be abnormal not to be takin into this adventure without tearing up at the heart touching and depressing scenes. This book deserves my five stars and if you have not read this book yet, it is truly magnificent. My thanks to you john green, you have showed all of you fans the truth in the life we live in. Thank you so much.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1AN2LMUABLL5Q?ASIN=014242417X	Quick Read, Get the Tissues	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I didn't want to read it. I didn't want to cry my eyes out at work while I read. My friends said, ""just read it you'll love it"". So I did. Thank god I didn't get to the really cry-worthy parts till laying in bed at night. The book is great. It's a must read for everyone. The details the author paints are so vivid that you can really picture the characters and scenes in your head. I'm glad I took my friends' suggestions and read it, and it only took me a couple days.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3C0LORX9PM6M6?ASIN=014242417X	Fluffy and Deep	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I fully enjoyed this book while I was reading it. However, I never really got fully invested in any of the characters. It meant a lot to me when I thought about people I cared about in the place of the characters, but I was not really attached. However, throughout all the fluffy teenage stuff are some deep quotes and wise knowledge imparted on the readers. I think this is a great book for teenagers to read because it can show them empathy and different perspectives on life.</span>"

It has captured the exact essence of dying  and wanting to be  an incredible person! It makes you want  to cry and laugh all the time. This wonderful book is going to be a classic not one person that's read it won't be able to forget it!<br/><br/>This book is one every soul needs  to read. There are many quotes and sayings that resemble life in  a unique and simple manner yet it has such  an impact on the reader</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R8MXR32F0DIT6?ASIN=014242417X	an emotional tear producer	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was very emotional. I did not read the synopsis before starting.  I couldn't put it down and I cried allot.  I read it to prepare for the m movie. There is no way to prepare for that movie or book. I personally have not had a close friend or family member diagnosed with any type of terminal disease but this book opened my soul to what those that are going through this could be feeling. My prayers go out to all who have,  will, and are currently going through this.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R217U48NINONKO?ASIN=014242417X	Beautifully written	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read this while on a six hour car trip. I was 80% finished when we arrived. I woke at 4 am and finished it. I could not put it down, and now I want to reread it. John Green created such believable characters that I think I know them. Although it was written as a young adult novel, it can be enjoyed by adults of all ages. Parents of middle school students should read it first so they can decide whether or not their kids are ready for it. It is definitely an emotional read.</span>"

Wait good doesn't describe this book well enough, I believe it is a book that can make anyone feel like they are on an emotional roller coaster that only goes up as the book continues from chapter to chapter. I would like to thank John Green for writing this amazing novel and making me ball like a baby. I can not wait for the movie and I hope to God it does this novel justices!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1JQXBP9AMHBLF?ASIN=014242417X	Personalities of these teens far outshine their illnesses	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">As a mom of teens, I was reluctant to read this book, but was so glad I did. Despite the pall of a fatal illness hanging over, I could still feel the excitement of young love. I just liked the main characters so much...they both had a cute sense of humor despite their circumstances. Glad it ended where it did instead of where I expected it to. Would highly recommend this to adults, as well as teens. Reminds you to live in the moment and appreciate the simple things in life.</span>"

The author could easily have made this a maudlin soap opera, but he doesn't.  Hazel and Augustus have the most delightful and quirky sense of humor coupled with realistic compassion.<br/><br/>Ordinarily, I don't really enjoy a book like this, but I did this one and I recommend it.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3IU01M30LT0ZZ?ASIN=014242417X	While this was a very well written book, the ...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">While this was a very well written book, the story was not as compelling as other ""character stories"" I have read. The author allowed you to understand and appreciate the struggle of the young characters, but at a certain point in the book, it was almost as though the author lost his way and was trying to figure out how the book should wrap up.  Overall, a decent read prior to settling into bed each night, but definitely not a page turner that would keep you awake.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RS371QZT09U5?ASIN=014242417X	Great work of art	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">There are some who give bad reviews partly because they think the characters sound more mature than regular teens. But then that's the point isn't it. They are not regular teens and they have dealt with far more than many regular adults. But was I convinced that these characters were real? Yes. Are they believable? Yes. That's what make Green so good. He creates is one characters in a known tragic circumstances and still make them authentic. I enjoyed this book thoroughly.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2I0SNHSBAG1IV?ASIN=014242417X	Great book!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read The Fault in our Stars because I have read great reviews about the novel! I would recommend this book to anybody, it was a great story and it really makes people understand how hard it is to know, or love someone fighting cancer. I think this text met my expectations because it related to my life. My cousin is fighting leukemia and it made me think about how hard it would be loose her. This novel  was an easy read, yet very interesting, i couldn't put the book down!</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RLOSNAZBCC9P2?ASIN=014242417X	Captivating	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Honestly, I can't exactly say that I didn't initially download The Fault in our Stars because I was curious about the popularity of this novel. That being said, it was incredibly hard to put down this book for  more than five minutes at a time. It is refreshing to read a book that is not lengthy, but yet seems to have so much thought and juxtaposed meaning behind every sentence. This is a beautiful well developed story and I encourage anyone young or old to read this book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2UJA24XHKFP5A?ASIN=014242417X	Absolutely FANTASTIC!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I absolutely love and enjoyed this book. I've also read ""Looking For Alaska"" which I also highly recommend. I love John Green. His books are truly amazing. I finished this book pretty fast though because once you start reading it, it's hard to put down and stop! I highly recommend this book if you like a good romance. It was sad and I did cry a little bit at certain points, but I loved and enjoyed it. I haven't seen the movie yet, but I can't wait to watch it soon!</span>"

After my children went to the theater to see the movie, I wanted to read the book, I always like to read the book before I see the movie.  The only thing I found fault with in the book is the use of the Lords Name in Vain.  I will never understand why people ruin a movie or a book by taking God's name in vain.  That said, I thought the book was great in showing a side of a sickness that some of us never see.  Can not wait now to see the movie</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3SKSQ76ESJHVT?ASIN=014242417X	Gotta chek out more John Green books	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I am not into love story books, but I figured it was a quick easy read and I wanted to read it before the movie comes out. I really loved this book. Right at the beginning I thought Hazel and her parents were fun and had a great friendship. I loved her sense of humor. I thought the relationship of Hazel and Gus was great, it was like they had been best friends for years. I love the little jokes between them. I admit I had to have the whole box of tissues later in the book.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RW928WLL8SS88?ASIN=014242417X	beautiful	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">What an incredible story of love and loss, strength and weakness, youthful exuberance and the weight of maturity developed too soon. As the parent of a medically fragile child, this book gave me a lot to think about but, in the end, there's more to think about just because I'm human. If you only read one book this year, this is the one. Heart-wrenching and hilarious, you will fall in love with Augustus and Hazel Grace and ultimately, you will discover the truth about Anna.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2NDACWTLQI8RU?ASIN=014242417X	Wow! Undescribable!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Oh my. The reviews talked about how this book was heartfelt and get the tissues ready. I loved the characters and the perspective of Hazel. I laughed, cried and morned with the characters. It has a lot to say about life and living and overcoming the worst life can throw at you. It also lets you understand regret and how we limit ourselves with bitterness. It is not a sad story -- it is a story of young love and the characters develop in fascenating ways. I really loved it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2S6V1AK0396FJ?ASIN=014242417X	best book I've ever read in my life	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was so fabulously written. It gave me a new way of thinking about life. I have a member in my family who has passed from cancer. It is truly devastating. Nevertheless, while I was reading this book I thought it was real. Like it was based off of real people. I truly felt the pain Hazel was feeling. Same with Augustus. Their love story was so beautiful. It felt real. I cried at multiple times in this book. I really loved it. This was the best book I've ever read!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3CF1KWRV2H795?ASIN=014242417X	A great read - more than just about a girl and her cancer.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Great book about cancer but not all about cancer.  The author hit on a deeper truth / perspective from the main character and some of the perspective included all the other people in her lives and their perspective (hers and theirs).  Love how the author picked up on terminal illness, relationships, the ability to love despite not knowing what turn your life (or others) will take.  As emotional as death is, there is beauty and this did not go unnoticed to me in this book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1AZMU1IP3KPYJ?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in Our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I have not seen the movie yet, but I read this book on recommendation from a friend.  Very good read!  I would recommend this to anyone.  Very good love story , extremely sad...I was crying my eyes out the last few chapters, however as sad and this book is...it's more about how you feel after your done reading it...it really makes you appreciate the life you've been given as opposed to the life you pictured for yourself or how you thought it should have gone or should go.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R237EIM8E2E21I?ASIN=014242417X	Beautiful	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I just finished this book, and all I can say is that it is one of the most beautiful books ever written. A wonderful tale about love and fighting back. His [John Green's] best work so far.<br/>The whole book made you keep thinking that Hazel would die, but no, what happens is something completely different. The tone of his writing is bittersweet, but funny at the same time. If you're looking for a tear-jerker or a romantic love story, this is definitely the book to read.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RJ2P85SMBRN8Q?ASIN=014242417X	Heart Jolting	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I loved this book.  Although the subject matter is discouraging, this writer was able to capture the darkness of cancer, yet also the light.  The characters were true to life and the story was funny, touching, and also heart wrenching.  It is the kind of book that forces you to face your own mortality and consider life and death and the way you live, in addition to the impact you have on others.  Augustus and Hazel managed to have a wonderful love story, despite the odds.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R267IDW759D2BS?ASIN=014242417X	Teen angst	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is the sad story of teens who are dealing with life issues that should not face teenagers. I bought the book because my bookclub chose it as a selection.  I think the book is specified as a Young Adult novel, and that seems an apt description to me.  Since I am long past that stage, I cannot say how it would read for a YA.  I lost interest quickly, despite the clever repartee of the main characters.  And the side story of the mysterious author never connected for me.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1Z1UCGVKF5N2Q?ASIN=014242417X	Young Love and Loss	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars was recommended to me by my granddaughter.  She loved it.  I liked it a lot but like other books about love and loss, it was sad. My heart was shredded during the reading of this book.  Mr. Green has the ability to see life's problems as three dimensional issues.  I could empathize with Hazel Grace, Augustus, Isaac and their parents.  The pain, the sense of loss and the triumph of love were portrayed very well. Not an easy book to finish and forget.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2TEY1ZJBT3ZFQ?ASIN=014242417X	No title can adequately describe this book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book made me laugh, cry, and think about the meaning of life. John Green not only tackles the troubles of adolescence, but also the terrible reality of cancer patients. Those who face terminal illnesses must look at life in a whole new way, and face challenges that many healthy teens and adults don't have to encounter for many years to come. It's a coming-of-age/romance/adventure/what-is-life kind of story. Anyone, sick or healthy, young or old should read this book.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RYT298P03M52M?ASIN=014242417X	Complex, intelligent, and beautiful for its harrowing realism	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is the first of John Green's novels that I've read, but it's now certain not to be the last. The characters make you smile with moments of awesomeness. Truly, Augustus Waters' sense of romanticism and Hazel Grace's harrowing observations upon life inspire awe. They're brilliantly funny too. Of the book's themes, one is that the most horrific and tragic events and aspects of the universe do not make life any less wondrously beautiful and deserving of our appreciation.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R32BSLW3FXH8VF?ASIN=014242417X	A story of truth we never want to think about	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is the kind of story you couldn't possibly imagine happening in real life unless you have either been through it yourself or are close to someone going through it. Love and life are both amazing adventures. Whether you are fortunate enough go through either weigh good health or not. This story will have you both crying and smiling at the same time. An excellent read with the slightest twist that makes all the difference in the story. Spoiler Alert: Max Mayhem lives.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2HASKKRYP00G7?ASIN=014242417X	SAPPY STORY WITH GOOD DIALOGUE	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The sad set-up to this story are two teens with cancer who fall in love...doomed by their disease to end early.  While this premise is sappy, the teen-agers themselves are interesting and well-drawn; dialogue is particularly good.  When a child suffers a serious or fatal disease, the impact on the families is horrendous, and this book chronicles that impact very well.  Young readers of romance will enjoy this; it's sort of a ""Bridges of Madison County"" for teens.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RVSL5KE7G969M?ASIN=014242417X	Inspiring!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">TFIOS was an awe inspiring book! It helps people who have had friends or family with cancer to understand more of what the person is going through internally. I was touched by Augustus and Hazel Grace's love but even more so about Hazel Grace's love for her parents. She was not afraid of dying but afraid of her parents hurting and not having a life after she passed away. She did not want to leave a scar. I also loved how the book ended like An Imperial Affliction. Bravo!</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2YWX5CCYKXH6F?ASIN=014242417X	This novel gave a great insight to the struggles of cancer patients.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I very much enjoyed this read. It was written extremely well and kept me interested at all moments. There were a few pages that were a little hard to follow and I am an English teacher. I had to re-read the passages twice to understand the relevance of the piece, but other than that, I think John Greene did an excellent job writing. I was interested to see what the hype was over this new addition to the ""Sick-Lit"" genre. It definitely lived up to the expectation.</span>"

When I asked her what was wrong, she said that she was sad because she finished reading the book. So thank you John Green. Thank you on the behalf of all boyfriends out there. You made our job a little bit harder that day.  I'll write a follow up review when my girlfriend makes me watch the movie with her. This book gets 5 out of 5 stars based in how fast she read it and how emotional it made her.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3GT7W6DGAAIR6?ASIN=014242417X	absolutely perfect book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Going to be completely honest. This is by far the best book ever written in my opinion. I have cried so many times i cant even count. I truthfully hate reading but this book has pulled me in and i for real could not stop. For the last part of the book i have read 6 hours straight. (New record) but really, it may just be me, but this book made me really emotional and i absolutely loved it.<br/>Thank you john green for making an amazing book. I cant wait to see the movie.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3THDWUH1RHMW9?ASIN=014242417X	SO GOOD	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I have been going to school full time for the past year, which has not really allowed me any extra reading time for books outside of what is assigned. I put this at the top of my list of books to read this summer and I am so glad I finally read this! John Green writes some of the best books that relate really well with young adults, which is why I think he is so raved about.<br/><br/>I started reading this two days ago and COULD NOT put it down!! DEFINITELY recommend!!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1CQSYY8A2R13Q?ASIN=014242417X	A Must Read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Every person, young or old should read this book. It reminds us that we are all connected and unconnected at the same time. Everyone must remember 14 not famous people and keep their stars glowing. I remember; Phyllis Wisch, Stan Wisch, Eldor Wisch, Ruth Wisch, John Dale, Agnes Dale, Richard Dale, Ida Dale, Jimmy Dale, Arly Hanson, Myrtle Hanson, Susie Gilbertson, Jim Teasdale, Barbara Craig, Glen Craig, Chuck Craig, and Joe Craig. Your stars will forever glow inside me.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R25S8313K7UKIP?ASIN=014242417X	loved it	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Aside from the Dawson's Creek like vocabulary of the two main characters, this is a beautiful love story. Having a disease myself, I was able to truly understand the emotions of those suffering from their own illnesses.  This is most definitely an emotional story to read. I enjoyed the witty banter as well as the more dramatic scenes. I would recommend this book to any young adult or woman. I don't see it as a book to be enjoyed by many men. It is a love story after all.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1D5URA0XAJSQL?ASIN=014242417X	in tears!!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is so good! Has me in tears. Details are so great I picture everything so clearly. I can't wait for the movie to come out, I just hope it's everything I'm picturing while reading this book. It's truly a beautiful sick love story. I applaud John Green on his work. It's perfect. I hope that many more people decide to read this book. I can read it again and still feel the same and still cry as much as I did the first time. Thank you John Green for this great book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R9PHAHYN1ZXTQ?ASIN=014242417X	Sweet story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">There really isn't a way this story can end well, but I think the author did a great job of illustrating the trials and tribulations associated with being a teenager in today's world and then adds the burden of cancer on top of that.  I cannot imagine what children like these go through everyday, dealing with things that no child should have to, then having to be a ""normal teen"" on top of that.  I loved the characters and wished I could spend more time with them.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RBNB80LG4TMDW?ASIN=014242417X	Believe the good reviews!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I love the blend of poetry and everyday life of a teen cancer patient.  Hazel Grace and Augustus Waters meet in a cancer support group.  They want to be more than someone to take care of, more than a victim.<br/>I can't pinpoint what I loved about this book without telling too much of the story.<br/><br/>I decided to read it after reading good reviews in several magazines, and I'm so glad I did!  I read 40-50 books a year and I have to say this is my favorite of 2013.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3G8OJWESA67CU?ASIN=014242417X	Interesting characters	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I am over 40 and bought this book because John Green has been on my radar since Looking for Alaska and because I enjoy tuning in to his vlog brothers posts from time to time. The first half of this book was engaging. I liked Hazel's voice and her perspective on living with cancer. She is honest and sarcastic and it seemed real. I've not really read anything from that unusual a perspective before. The whole book is good, but I was more into the first half than the second.</span>"

This novel has gotten the attention of the youth of today and brought them back to the pleasure of reading.  It has soared to the top of the best seller list for months.  As an avid reader for a lifetime........I am joyful that my teenage grandchildren have been captured by this memorable novel.  For my generation it was ""Love Story"".........for theirs it is ""TheFault in Our Stars"".</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R19FXMIHJB1FIR?ASIN=014242417X	One of the best books in year!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This was an amazing book that I absolutely loved. It is incredibly well written with deep character development. The language and vocabulary of all of the main characters was extremely entertaining and endearingly snarky. The relationship that develops between Hazel and Gus was very sweet. Definitely NOT your typical young adult novel. I am a physician and found it very well written from a medical perspective as well. A fantastic book and I cannot wait to see the movie!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3TPDZG5V8FTIN?ASIN=014242417X	Life Changing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book has utterly changed me as a person. For the better of course. It has taught me to make the best out of everything. This book was perfectly written. It was so creative and the characters were just amazing. It didn't take me long to fall in love with Augustus. He is amazing and I must be honest, I was an emotional wreck for hours after reading his death. This was the first time I've read this book but I can guarantee it will not be my last. Thank you John Green.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3KMD7KJ2XHYZT?ASIN=014242417X	The wondrous minds of young people dying.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is written for and to young people who are hopefully healthy with a life time of love and giving in which to look forward.  These two characters did not have the time, but found meaning to help them across the divide.  We don't think about death unless it hits suddenly.  Then we crash under it's weight.  When you live with the idea of knowing you will never grow old everything is worth noticing and your life may be richer than those who live to be one hundred.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2CUGVDD867Y17?ASIN=014242417X	Keep the tissues nearby, you will need them	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">To be honest, I was not expecting much from this book. As someone who has lost a family member to cancer, I have received a TON of well meaning ""cancer"" books along the way.<br/>But this was not a book about cancer. It is a book about love. About taking the risk to love. About knowing that there will be pain from that love, but still falling with every ounce of your being.<br/>I read this book in one afternoon, but I have no doubt it will stay with me forever.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RUZBT2W0LANXZ?ASIN=014242417X	Amber	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Dearest Amber, you should read this book.  You are in it.  Your pain and suffering in the world is palpable.  I see it in your eyes, on your face.  It matters not what the ailment is.  Yet, as your teacher, I am not supposed to hug you, comfort you, or even befriend you.  What I can do is appreciate the real you and point you in what I think is a good direction,worthy of your time. Read each chapter knowing that you are loved, just as these parents loved their children.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R23P6YAB09YM9C?ASIN=014242417X	Fiction mirrors reality	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book came to my attention as I was presenting at a conference.  I loaded it onto my kindle and started reading it without much attention to the background/author.  I work with adolescent oncology patients and thought the dialogue &amp; worries seemed about right.  To be honest other than some oddly phrased sentences here and there it could have almost been a memoir rather than a work of fiction.  Great book, easy read, poignantly express struggles of these adolescents.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RS3UIBU0TU1AA?ASIN=014242417X	Good casual read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I liked this book! An easy read with likable main characters. I had a little trouble buying some of the witty dialogue since the main characters were teenagers. Not many teens I know can pull the exact right phrase out of the sky on a moment's notice while maintaining the perfect balance of snarky, naive, and glib. But it was forgivable since it was a good story. The ending was a bit predictable but that doesn't bother me. The movie stayed pretty true to the book, too.</span>"

A powerful story that will touch you and devastate you. One of the most beautiful stories I have ever read.<br/><br/>I finished this book last night, and it has been on my mind all day long. I’m an emotional person, I tear up a lot when I read. I haven’t sobbed like that since, well I don’t remember when. This book is fantastic, but warning: you will cry. But you will also smile, and laugh a lot, and fall in love with these amazing characters.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Excellently written and poignantly told story that will have your either crying for the touching story or laughing at the sarcasm.<br/><br/>It sort of reminded me of another series of books back from the 90’s at the moment when writing this review names of it have escaped my mind.<br/><br/>This is one book that my teenagers, preteen (who is still reading it) and all read it. If your a parent of teens, its fun to get involved with what they are reading or have read.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RBVQ9VOZDB4P4?ASIN=014242417X	Brutally honest but unapologetically hilarious	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read this book in about 24 hours. Everyone told me how sad it was, so I figured it was the final days of the main character. What I didn't expect was covering my mouth from laughter as to not wake up my roommate at 2 am. So very well written and as a nurse I appreciated the clarity the author provides on the characters condition. I woke up with a headache this morning from crying before sleep. I now must relive this while I watch the movie. I hope it does it justice.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1JPQPEYMJB2V0?ASIN=014242417X	Did Not Want the Book to End	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">A heartbreaking love story with true pathos that avoids abject sentimentality and is lively and beautifully written is rare. This is no ""Love Story""' for the 21st Century. Only the most skilled artist has enough confidence  to leave the reader satisfied, and yet, wanting to know more about their fictional creations and  live with them long after the book is finished. I now care about this family and will miss them and strangely,  wonder how they're doing. More, please!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1VESUO7L5IVCH?ASIN=014242417X	TFIOS	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I liked the Fault in Our Stars because the characters, Hazel and Gus, were very relatable and their personalities were very realistic. I also liked how the author mentioned real places in Indianapolis like the red and blue arches with the basketball court and even the Castleton mall. I also enjoyed the humor that the characters always seemed to find in every situation. It made it seem more lifelike and relieved some of the tension from all the other drama in the story.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2B4SUJD9W2F4V?ASIN=014242417X	A good read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I think I was hoping to love this book more than I actually did.  I found Augustus to be charming yes, but also a bit heavy handed. He and Hazel both had a beautiful way with words and a very mature way of looking at the world they lived in. I felt like the author had to remind himself, and his readers, the two central characters were teenagers by throwing in the periodic ""or whatever"". It felt contrived a little. The way they spoke.  But overall, a book worth reading.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R205KGUTW0DRFY?ASIN=014242417X	I cried a lot	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">does it make me a bad person to say that I don't think this book deserves all the hype it's gotten? what a sad, heart wrenching story, but beyond that there's nothing incredibly unique about it. Green has crafted some obviously quotable lines - there his gift is evident - but sometimes by trying to seem relatable and real, it came off as forced, most egregiously in dialog. I couldn't put the book down and understand what people like about it, but expected more going in</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R21EC42OAMT4M0?ASIN=014242417X	Believable and moving	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book seemed to flow so well that I was surprised to read, in the author's comments, that it took such a long time to write and went through so many incarnations.  I felt that I could identify easily with any of the characters--they were drawn as very human--very vulnerable, yet strong.  Even the worst of them (the author who played such a big part in these teenagers' outlooks was an awful guy, but I still found him to be someone I could imagine actually existing).</span>"

You really got attached to the characters. I thought it was very well written. I also was very sad about the death but i loved the ending of the book. Was really great to read. I loved the whole story. I would recommend this book to anyone who is old enough to understand about cancer And the book's plot. I gave this 5 stars because I thought the book was fantastic and i loved reading it. I would DEFINITELY read it again. !!!!</span>"

John Green always can somehow make me laugh and cry at the same time. Augustus has now made it to the top of my favorite book characters list. Yes, I have a list. Augustus, if, he were real, would be my best friend, no questions asked. If probably be close to Isaac too. If you have read any of his other books, or any Nicholas Sparks books, you'll love this book. And it's sad but interesting love story</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3Q8K9RKZXCXLN?ASIN=014242417X	Good book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I chose a four star rating because while i liked the book, I suppose I didn't love it. It didn't tear into my heart and emotions I guess like I thought it would from reading other people's reviews before I bought. But I did feel the sadness and enjoy the story no doubt. I love love, and this is a good love story. From friends and family to boyfriends and girlfriends. I recommend to anyone looking for a story to read that's easy on the heartstrings but can feel the tug.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is a rare combination of dark humor and sadness that literally can make you cry and laugh at the same time. I loved the characters' honesty and sarcasm. The book is definitely sad, but it is not needlessly so. I didn't feel like it was manipulative. It is thought provoking, but not depressing. The love story is precious-- not too perfect, yet not too dramatic either. Overall, I thought it was simply well balanced. It is something I will definitely read again.</span>"

I stink at writing and being intellectual but this book has really changed.my view on, well almost everything. I am having a hard time expressing my words in this review because I can't comprehend my reactions myself. be prepared to feel things you have never felt. I know this is deep for a book review, but dang my life has literally changed.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RQ2SJ0NM7Y5K6?ASIN=014242417X	I  did Not want to like this book, but failed	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Buggers!  Unlike so many stories about dying and death that play upon one's  emotions,  I did not feel ""used"" after reading this book.  I loved the character development of Hazel Grace, Gus, their parents, and others that revealed the many sides of each individual.  I enjoyed the irreverent humour that was intertwined with the acknowledgment that when we choose to love someone, we must also accept the eventual loss of that person through separation, divorce, or death.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2GMI2CJ86ZVPZ?ASIN=014242417X	Stars have no fault, they are perfect and well made.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">As a hospice nurse I love this book. As a woman who<br/> has had a few broken hearts I love this book, as a fellow jnourneyman on this path I love this book. Sometimes the characters seemed a bit over the top. I can't help thinking though as a Christian, if they really understood love and death and life for that matter, their focus would have changed. Things would have been less about random chances and futility.  Love Isaac and Hazel s parents.  Thank you Mr. Green.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RN66IBAEB04XK?ASIN=014242417X	Remarkable - A book of a lifetime	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Very moving. The author has a personable, insightful perspective into the human spirit. What I liked most was that the tragic backdrop of the novel - cancer - was really just a canvas to explore the pursuit of life and what we all seek. Using a dry, funny, and cynical style of searching for meaning in the most unlikely set of characters, I felt a moments of laugh out loud awkwardness to emotionally wrenching loss. This is one of the best books I have read in 50 years.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RUH64NU8F7KYQ?ASIN=014242417X	It is sad, but don't dismiss it just for that	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I do not like to read sad books, but I downloaded the free sample &amp; was hooked. I proceeded to buy it, &amp; I read it in one sitting. It is just excellent &amp; one of the best books I've read in awhile; which makes me question all the sub-par crap I have read. The characters are witty &amp; intelligent &amp; you fall in love with them. The writing is fresh &amp; beautiful.  Is it sad? Yes. Did I cry? Yes, but one has to get beyond that because it is a wonderful story with life lessons.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">It's beautifully written, and it's a heartbreaking story, and the dialogue is so utterly perfect. I empathize with these characters, even though I've never had cancer. I ache for them, even though I never experienced a whole, single, perfect love in my teenage years. I want to reread this story, over and over again, because it made me feel in a way so few books do.<br/><br/>You should read it. You really should. Because it will make you feel something extraordinary.</span>"

My teenage daughter and I were reading it at the same time on our kindles.  We laughed, we cried, and we had the best time talking about things that were happening and funny lines from the book.  Highly recommended!!!  I also just read Looking For Alaska today.  After reading these 2 books, I can say that I love John Green's work!!!  He is like a come of age JD Salinger.

The characters in the book are astonishing. I enjoyed it so much because they thought outside of the box, which is very admirable. The vocabulary was so advanced, I loved it! I do have some questions for John Green though. I wonder if I can somehow contact him through email. I would happily recommend this book to anyone who would listen. This book needs and deserves to be read.<br/><br/>-KB</span>"

I just wish there was a sequel to it. Even though this book is sad it is still the best I don't want john green to stop making these great books. John if you are reading this please believe in youreself and never stop writing these books and never stop making great videos</span>"

Personally I think that this book is for people around the age of 12+ but if you are younger and interested well be my guest.  This book was fabulous! It wove everything into the story in a fluent, flowing way that was lovely.  I really felt this book, like all the sad parts I  would bawl and the funny parts i would crack up and it was just.......WOW!!(im not even an emotional person AT ALL!!)</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R12RJHWEPFPGEZ?ASIN=014242417X	Great book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I am an oncology RN and work with cancer patients everyday. As a RN working with this patient population you are confronted with thoughts of dying everyday and so are the patients that I care for. The author of this book is great at bringing out the characters thoughts of their own impending death and how they face this on a daily basis. I fee the author really catches the characters in that sense. You as a reader of this book can truly empathize with the characters.</span>"

2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3IQOIGBL7KWO4?ASIN=014242417X	Just what I needed.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Having lost my 28 year old brother to cancer 7 weeks ago, this book broke my heart while putting it back together. Green may say his drug names are fictitious, but the experiences he created were spot on. Often he touched on a subject I wondered if my brother agonized over, and even if he didn't, it was written with such truth, I found closure. If you know anyone who has been left to pick up the pieces after cancer comes to town, share this book. They will thank you.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">You won't regret your time spent reading the fault in our stars I know I didn't anyway...I really have (after reading about this girl hazel who has cancer) a new respect for cancer patients and hazel feels so real you feel her pain and loss...I loved the book and will most likely read it many times and that would be a first for me...having a book so good that you read it over and over already knowing how it all ends...just knowing but you read it over and over anyway</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RMNWT6ANNNYDB?ASIN=014242417X	Best Book Ever	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">As a teen, I struggle to find books that I actually thoroughly enjoy. In school we read books that are so boring, I rarely pick up another book for a long while. When my best friend recommended The Fault in Our Stars, I know I should take the chance to read it. And I finished it within 2 days of starting it. Take some time to read this book. You definitely won't regret it. Although if can be very sad and tough to handle, it is worth the read of any teenager or adult.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RRLNQWKRA5TW9?ASIN=014242417X	Perfection put in pages	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Augustus and Hazel are truly irrevocably marvelous and give an insight to more of the world then we as simpletons imagine daily. Through, the tragic sum of events  that take place in this book we as an audience are touched by their love and poetic sarcasm. I would recommend this book to anyone who can read, even if you can't read have someone read to you. (Warning:due to the emotional capacity this book inflicts upon reader I recommend tissues and waterproof mascara)</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RIH9W4ZUAC1AP?ASIN=014242417X	A story without an ending???	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Well, I never would have picked this book for myself. My daughter gave it to me as a Christmas present. I found it rather captivating, in the light of illnesses and death of childhood cancer. Going to find the ending to a favorite book but what they find is more than just some ending... then I get to the end of this book and I think, well what happens.... I recommend it, there is some bad language used and disrespectfulness toward parents but it is worth reading....</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3MYKZ4SWGSRND?ASIN=014242417X	No Fault in This Book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">John Green is one of my favorite authors.  He writes intelligently with characters that are real, interesting and loveable.  This novel details the trials and tribulations of teens with cancer, and the characters are portrayed so realistically that it is hard not to think of it as a biography.  There is an excellent mix of humor, pathos, and suspense to make the book a very fulfilling read.  There may be a fault in the stars, but I could not find one with this book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3TMB9UGOUC4NQ?ASIN=014242417X	Beautiful.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I can't even think. Now, if I were to say how strong they both were, Hazel would disagree. If I were to say Augustus is the most amazing person I this book, Augustus would disagree. This book makes you think. I literally felt their pain. I didn't experience it first hand, but I felt it in my soul. It's just a beautiful book. It feels real. It's not a romance; it's a book about life, pain, and the universe disguised as a romance. Clever author.<br/>Again, beautiful.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book made me laugh,made me cry, and made me realize what people with cancer go through. John Green really did excellent work on this novel. I hope to see the movie soon. Hazel is now my role model. Not perfect, but confident, caring, and strong. As she goes through her challenges in life I think,"" What a strong girl."" If I was in a room with a drunk and insane man, I would've just ran out of the door crying. This book has changed my perspective on life.</span>"

Then the girls are gonna explain etc. And then might or might not get shot down but I love the book and it is awesome and everyone should read it to come into realization that life is short</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R13678FPIC7YNP?ASIN=014242417X	Flawless Book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This was such a great book! I enjoyed feeling the emotions of the characters as they went through up and downs. I love how TFIOS was relatable in some ways but also shared experiences that I hadn't ever had before. John Green did a wonderful job on this book and I would recommend it to all of my friends and family members and I hope to read more of his books. I also enjoyed the romance! Make sure you have a box of tissues with you! In my opinion TFIOS had no flaws!</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R13PNR7IEQV8RN?ASIN=014242417X	A book you will read again and again	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Cancer sucks .....and the whole world of support groups and trying to be positive and keeping your head up. But then Hazel meets a boy who both understands and makes her realize that cancer is only one thing going on....not the entire picture. And the real magic of this book takes over and you can't stop reading. She goes from extremely jaded and depressed to living....really living. (even if she is dying). I have already recommended this book to a bunch of people.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3SWLBN726C51K?ASIN=014242417X	Perfect	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is the second time I have read this book when I should be reading others for my honors English class, but this book is so touching. I feel it speaks to people and is relatable to people who don't even have cancer. Although I love it I love how it is written and how it makes you cry by understanding so much more and is the truth of life. Therefore it's perfect it doesn't lie about certain things it tells the truth it doesn't try to soften things. And I love it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2TB45WBY09O1M?ASIN=014242417X	MY CHEST	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I like how the book is so light in the beginning and it's so fast paced with their love story, like, they met, then a week later they fell in love. But by then, I was so emotionally invested that by the time Gus was in that hospital bed, there wasn't anything else I could do but cry as all of it came at me all at once every chapter after the other. (It was a worth-while blow John Green, one worth-while blow). It was a great book and I'm sad now (thanks a lot, man.)</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RZHWB10I71M6D?ASIN=014242417X	Really good but...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">So i really liked this book and can't wait to see the movie.  The only thing i didn't like about this book though was the fact that the parents of these 2 kids were way to trusting.  I get it you might die cause you're ill and all but seriously you just met and now you are taking a trip in another country?<br/><br/>Characters were great and so was the writing and it kept me wanting more and hoping for the best for these 2 though i knew it wasn't going to end so.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2DI45AIL9M636?ASIN=014242417X	GOOD for all ages young, and old.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is for every reader out there. Yes there are some larger, more complex words and phrases, but this book adheres to everyone. The characters, Hazel Grace, Augustus Waters, Isaac, the parents, and Peter Van Houten are very likeable characters and you really feel like you know them as people and not just as fictional beings. I recommend this book to anyone who loves romance, scientific literature, and teen drama books. Enjoy and go see the movie afterwards!</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R28P4KEWGLH67T?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I really enjoyed reading this book. it is an interesting plot and story lined with atypical heroes (or anti-heroes of sorts) with an unexpected twist. I shall say that the main character would aggregate me at times, but I guess it is the perfect narrator for the story.<br/>I definitely recommend this to those who aren't afraid to cry amidst reading a book and risking being made a complete fool of themselves. it is an easy read and it definitely is worth the time.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R99JH53JE3GHJ?ASIN=014242417X	Certainly a very good amazingly good book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I would like to say it is easily the very best book ever ,I hardly have any thing else to say about this except of course it has you wanting to cry and laugh all over the place because as I stated before it is an incredible , amazing ,(heart breaking) book that I can say gave me the best feeling ever and made me think differently . The rev is only one way to say it , it is a amazing read that has your heart working on over time because of all the emotions you feel</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R114BGPTYHPJI1?ASIN=014242417X	I definitely cried.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">After I finished this book, I had a long, elaborate review thought up in my head, but now I'm reviewing it a month later and I've forgotten everything I wanted to say because every time I went to start the review I'd start tearing up.<br/><br/>So really, all I can say is that the ending made me cry like a big, fat baby, and you'll probably do the same, but it's worth reading anyway because it's heartwarming and an absolutely fantastic story. Love, love, love it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R174YS6ANZ5IMY?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Where was this in 2005 while I went through the hell of losing my mother to bone and  lung cancer? Everything about this book spoke to me. I even predicted the ending and I still lost it.<br/><br/>This book recapped perfectly everything I went through and the things I find myself thinking of even to this day. This will be my ""An Imperial Affliction"". I'll read it and weep over and over again because it's so beautiful.<br/><br/>The universe wants to be noticed.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3GPD259RVT4IV?ASIN=014242417X	Very good book but terribly depressing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The book is definitely well written and good. However, whoever buys it should take into consideration that it is very upsetting. If you want to enjoy a book, this is not one for you. If you hope that despite the gruesome subject of the  book (cancer in children) it will not end too badly and the reader's tears are to be spared- think again. This is not meant as a critic against the writer. I'm just saying that this is not a book I would recommend to a good friend.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RJINS3SAG2Z3I?ASIN=014242417X	I Find No Fault	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">There's no secret that this book is different. You know from the start that the protagonists, at least one of them, are doomed. However, as you read, you discover that the book is not really about star crossed lovers, or death, or even cancer. It's strength is in it's insight about life. The closing pages may be the best I've ever read in a modern novel.<br/>I don't usually say this, but I think this is one time you should read the book before you see the movie.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R16B806URTOE5J?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book has made me laugh so hard my ribs hurt.  Think so much my head hurt.  And even cry.  John Green has given me not only confirmation that others wonder why things go the way they do, but that no matter what you do.  No matter what you say.  No matter how you act.  You can still redeem yourself.  How he did this with a book about ill fated teenagers in love; I have no clue.  But that is what makes him and this book so phenomenal.<br/><br/>Shelby (age 13)</span>"

(Well except for Harry Potter when Dumbledoor died.)  Let me tell you something, I cried after reading this book. Yes, it was really sad in the end but is I can say one thing, I gave it 5 stars for a reason. This is now one of my favorite books! I absolutely love it! I'M an eight grader and I found it right at my reading level. I highly recommend this book! Thank you so much John Green for writing this amazing novel!!!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3KRK410DFCFI2?ASIN=014242417X	Great Read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">When I started this novel I was inclined to skip it because of the subject matter but I'm glad I moved forward past my own emotions.  Having lost close family and friends from this disease, I know that what they seek most is to talk about it, to have those around them acknowledge the reality of the imminent reality of their situation.  I was amazed at the sophistication and humor expressed by these very young adults in dealing with themselves and with each other.</span>"

The writing flows smoothly and brings you to love the interaction between all the character and the story.  I really do not like to read sad books, but I really am glad that I gave myself a chance to experience the love and sadness.<br/>Sometimes a book that gives you a taste of reality makes you open your eyes to situations that are not in the life..  But it is a necessary to be a whole person to be aware of love found and lost.</span>"

It seems that the 2 main characters are always trying to say something witty and it was a little frustrating. But then I started to realize that this was their way of dealing with their illnesses.  All their time was spent just trying to make it through each day.  The emotional turn was surprising, even though you knew what was going to happen. John Green has an amazing way with words and I look forward to his other books.</span>"

This was not the normal genre of books I read, but based on reviews I figured I would give it a try.  I read well over a hundred books a year and would maybe give out one 5 star rating per year --- this is it. It was beautifully sad.  Warning: you will cry.  My husband laughed at me asking why would you read a book that will knowingly will make you cry? Read it and I am sure you will agree the tears are worth it.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">While the writing is well done, the actual storyline is pretty basic. I also find the main characters to be extremely pretentious which is one of the most annoying things ever. I really don't enjoy the romanticizing of cancer because cancer, or any terminal illness for that matter,is not romantic. I don't know, I guess this book isn't really my cup of tea and I didn't really understand the hype about it but if this is the kind of stuff your into then go for it.</span>"

Gus uses his ""make a wish"" to get them to Amsterdam to meet the author.  The author is a no good lousy drunk who does not intend to tell them the end of the story.  The two fall in love.</span>"

This book has a lovable twist on regular romance novels, which I find extremely interesting.

Although I cried, I laughed even more. I loved Hazel and Gus and Isaac--especially their irreverent sense of humor. I didn't give it 5 stars because I found the Peter character to be an artificial construct in a story that resonated with authenticity. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a character-driven story with a few plot twists and turns. I hope Hollywood does justice to the story.</span>"

I do believe this book has encouraged me to pay more attention to living rather than simply going through the motions of life</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1F602HLI3HNBJ?ASIN=014242417X	Good read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This was an interesting book to read. I think it was written more for a youthful audience, but as a grandma, I enjoyed reading it. Death is a difficult subject to deal with, especially when it involves young people. As we go through these young peoples lives and loves, I thought it was dealt with in a sometimes amusing way. Having had cancer myself and survived, I know laughter and discussion about your ailment is something that gets you through the hard times.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R11N0MZKZ49BWH?ASIN=014242417X	Five Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Really liked it. One of those books I didn't want to put down!</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1WBEM9LJMU1WR?ASIN=014242417X	A bit overrated even for a young adult love story.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I teach middle school history and many of my students kept pushing me to read this book, as I try and find ways of connecting books, films, video games, etc to our class material I went ahead and ordered a copy. After reading it I can say that I won't be using it in class, but my students were happy to hear that I had read the book. The writing isn't terrible, but a bit predictable, I did enjoy the level of sarcasm from many of the characters within the story.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1J9CC5N370GZ7?ASIN=014242417X	Too much talk, not enough walk	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault In Our Stars was a raved about book. On every social networking site that I went to avoid readers would range about this novel being the greatest thing since sliced bread (theoretically obviously). But to be honest it didn't fulfill my expectations. I kept on waiting and waiting for the climax to commence just like the fellow reviewers said but it never did. Don't get me wrong, the story  was good and worth the read, but it was a little too hyped up.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1JLQU83VSUARV?ASIN=014242417X	Very good but hard for some to read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I wanted to read this book because my granddaughter was assigned this for freshman English. She like it and I wanted to be talk to her about it. The book is about teen love and team cancer and is quick read.  I only just recently finished it so I have not had our discussion. When I told some of my friends they thought they couldn't read it because of the topic. I hope that teenagers who read it will have a better idea what someone with Cancer is going through.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RI64BX400GAID?ASIN=014242417X	I dedcided to write a eulogy to my friends and family	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">It was a beautiful story at first I thought It was going to be depressing, but I found that it was more of a hopefull story, about life and all the little things we take for granted.  When young people die it becomes tragic because they never got to live thier lives.  You wonder what could have been because they touch you in ways you never thought possible, but the reality is they never got to be kids and you wonder.  The Fault In Our Stars made me wonder.....</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R35KTRA4ADVJLN?ASIN=014242417X	The best book ever	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I have got to say that this is one of the best books I have ever read. Personally I would recommend this book to anyone. I was a little disappointed when I found out An Imperial Affliction was not real, but yes, this book is worth the time because I think everyone will enjoy it. (Read the book before the movie since the book is always better, and lots of people tend to watch the movie first and say, ""If I already watched the movie, why read the book?"")</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2HCJ0ILJSQDU0?ASIN=014242417X	The Beauty in Our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was both funny and depressing, which you would think is a bad mix, but it truly isn't. I found it quite enjoyable and relatable, yet mature and well written. I give it four out of five stars, because really, it was depressing and realistic, so if you can't handle realistic books, I suggest you stay away. However, I learned a great deal from this novel, and me, personally hating romance books, found this one intriguing and without all the cheesy crap.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2SAQ7CULNSCFO?ASIN=014242417X	The Best Book of 2014	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I am thankful that social media forced this book upon me. It took me a day to read this book, and I must say I'm happy with my decision. This book has changed me; more so because without attempting to do so, it opened my eyes to a life that I am not living. Both Hazel and Agustus wanted something that we take for granted everyday. Life. In choosing to read this book, I hope that it helps any reader take the first steps in living a life without fear and regret.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1VOI0X8HLNN1J?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault In Our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault In Our Stars was the most incredible book I have ever read. The way John Green added so much passion to his writing made you feel like you loved Agustus Waters as much as Hazel did.  I will suggest this book to any reader out there and assure them they will love it.  It brought so many tears to stream down my face that I had to stop reading and control my self.  Lastly, I want to thank John Green for writing this fantastic book.<br/><br/>- Hanna S.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2FAZUHS3Y4XAR?ASIN=014242417X	Simply... Amazing.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book amazed me right from the first chapter. Honestly, I had always heard about this book from friends, but I still put off reading it for a long time. I thought it would be one of those books that were so hyped up that it wouldn't exceed my expectations.<br/><br/>Boy, was I wrong.<br/><br/>So if you're looking for a novel with great dialogue, a stable storyline, and amazing diction, read this book immediately. Every single page is a pleasure to read.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R23YK12SSNI9UI?ASIN=014242417X	I loved this book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I loved this book! It brings a very vivid realization about the horrifying effects of children's cancer. It is very well-written. I was expecting it to end in the way that she talked about her favorite book, but it ended very differently. I was upset about parts of it, but that happens when something happens to character you love. I can't wait to see the movie for this book. I know it has been out for awhile now, but I want to see how it compares to the book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RP47VBZE2ZTZN?ASIN=014242417X	AMAZING	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I would recommend this book for anyone who understands pain and love and who has a heart. Who knows reality. This book has touched so many hearts, including mine, that it should deserve five stars. They even made a movie for it!! The whole book was great! It made me cry for Gus, hate Peter, feel vengeful with Issac, feel terrified with Hazel`s and Gus` parents, and see the reality in the world with Hazel. I hope someday I can write this amazing of a book too.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1KWO9FP4FSAIU?ASIN=014242417X	Heart- breaking and wonderful	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This story is a realistic representation of not only the struggles of terminally ill people but of the human races true desires, when it comes to death and life. It will not only take you on the roller coaster of the characters journey, but on a ride through the philosophy surrounding death and it will challenge your view of truly important moments. It is a heart wrenching story which did cause more than a few tears to be shred. I highly recommend this novel.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2SX0KJK5UZIAT?ASIN=014242417X	Touching story about the meaning of life & love	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I really enjoyed this story and the cast of characters. It is a story about young love, but it's so much more. It's refreshing to read a story with intelligent teen characters. Many of the characters use a lot of complicated words and phrasing just because and that can be a little tiring and the ending was less gratifying than I had hoped, but I really enjoyed this book. The themes in this book are ones that we could all benefit from and it was a sweet story.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2MGX50QWCP4K9?ASIN=014242417X	Definitely not just for the teen crowd	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is a very well-written, well-constructed novel. Admittedly, the characters do not act like your typical teenagers. However, I can't understand why that is pointed out repeatedly in bad reviews of the book.  Isn't that the point? - these are not typical teenagers facing typical teen angst.  These are teens dealing with an infathomable situation.  And while heart-wrenching, Mr. Green manages to write about it with humor and grace. Definitely worth reading.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R7RCM1YTXH0MX?ASIN=014242417X	I would definitely recommend it	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I typically avoid books like this….teens with cancer just doesn't sound like an enjoyable read. But something pulled me to this book, and I am very glad it did. It really touched my heart and I almost felt proud of Hazel and Gus for how well they handled their grave situation. I agree with some who said the teens spoke with a bit too much eloquence for 16 year olds, but I was able to overlook that. It was a sad book and a feel good book all at the same time.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RASO1CFRY195H?ASIN=014242417X	All Hype and No Hope	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I really didn't care for this book. The language did not fit the characters. I thought the plot was odd for two people who have been given a death sentence. I would think there would be a lot more things you would want to do before you die besides find an author. I much preferred James Patterson's story First Love that has characters dealing with terminal illness. The bottom line is this story offers no hope for the characters and no hope for readers either.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2JM6PMHZKTIF6?ASIN=014242417X	I never want to see the movie	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was so good that I will never see the movie. There is absolutely no way film can portray these characters and their inner thoughts in a way that would do the book justice. I love the quirkiness of the characters and the interactions between Hazel and Augustus. They were so perfect for each other. I almost felt like their love story ended like the book that brought them together did. I highly recommend this book and make sure you have tissues handy.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3D2RU9I0YN0CR?ASIN=014242417X	The Book I Needed Long Ago	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I currently have that unique sense of accomplishment and sadness that concurrently hit you upon the completion of a book that sucks you in and spits you out in a puddle of your own tears. This work has changed how I view life, death, relationships,...oblivion (spoiler)! Bravo for capturing that seldom spoken feeling that a child plagued with sickness (any sickness) will at some point realize they are indeed a grenade and will destroy others by their absence.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2LACQSPOJQLL1?ASIN=014242417X	amazing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is one of the most well written and beautiful books EVER! John Green, you sir, are a freaking genius!!!! The character are truthful, relatable and there is no BS. I feel like I could meet Gus and Hazel in real life and they would be really well rounded people and be amazing friends...<br/>SPOILER ALERT!!!!!<br/>If you are looking for a happy ending, this book is not for you, if you are looking for a book that is truthful and real.. This is it....</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RM6SBQWX5Z6TO?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in Our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars:<br/>I selected this text because it was a very interesting subject, and I have never read about a character suffering from cancer. I would recommend this text to another high school student because high schoolers can relate to the age group of characters in this novel. This book met my expectations and was better than i expected because I thought it would be more dull and not as exciting and it had more of a plot line than I thought</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1VFHOQ1IHG124?ASIN=014242417X	Pretty good	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I am a 15 year old male who read this, and I have to say it was surprising. Not quite the love sorry I expected, but it was good. I loved the way it was written, although disagreed with how Mr. Green got some key parts of the story across to the readers. I really felt like this book was written by Hazel, that's how well the narration was written. Overall, I'd suggest this book to anyone who wants an easy read, little romance, but an overall feel-good story.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RSKPSVRXRO1QL?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in Our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is an unbelievable story about two teenagers who meet and instantly fall for each other. They go through thick and thin, through hard and easy times. But they keep on loving each other no madder what happens.<br/>I give this book 5 out of 5 stars because it's a book you'll fall in love with no madder what happens in it! I suggest this book if you like: a funny, hart warming, romantic, adventures, sad, happy, love story, awkward, and brilliant books!!!</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2MTT1OVSODSN7?ASIN=014242417X	Really Enjoyed This!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is saved from being a tearjerker by the wonderful dialogue of the main characters.  It is also a thoughtful and incisive look at the effects of severe illness on individuals and families.  While the inevitably sad outcomes are painful and upsetting, the emotional journeys each character takes through the course of the illnesses is thought-provoking and inspiring.  The dialogue provides wonderful flashes of humor along the way.  Highly recommended.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3DNRFJ4S7GNM1?ASIN=014242417X	This was an amazing book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I absolutely loved this book. It was emotional, funny, witty and an amazing book. I fell in love with the characters and hurt with them, as well as smiled with them. This book brought so many emotions out of me.I cried at times and smiled at times, but I came out of reading this a different person. I can not wait to read more by John. Everyone needs to read this especially if you know someone or have lost someone to cancer. Amazing job by an amazing writer.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3VHEGPXO8OL46?ASIN=014242417X	one of my favorite books ever	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">As soon as I read the first sentence, I knew that this was going to be one of my favorite books of all time. Sure enough, by the time I had finished reading the last sentence, it was. John Green's ability to build the characters is amazing. You get a sense immediately of who they are and what they are about. The plot development was both expected and unexpected, and yes, there will be tears! Don't avoid reading this book... it will absolutely be a favorite!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RWZCJKWZH6D1B?ASIN=014242417X	So amazing, words can do no justice	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I've read a LOT of books. Great books. This book was so great, it makes me feel I was lying when I said any other book was great. It's a love story...not only of the characters loving one another, but of the reader loving them too. It is a life story...not just about peoples' lives, but about how to look at life. To live. As the title of my review says, this book was so amazing, no words of my describing it can do it justice. You will have to read the book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1OWGYTJEJ604P?ASIN=014242417X	I enjoyed the book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I cannot promise that I will be able to see the movie being a mother of two toddlers but Mr. Green has a talent for writing... Transitions from one scene to the next flowed, you stayed engaged on the story and you craved for the answers to all questions that will come. I enjoyed the book, I could not put it down, but the story helped me realize that I am LUCKY to be blessed with healthy children and I am sorry to those who have not shared the same blessing</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R37722KQI3CQGF?ASIN=014242417X	Speechless!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This definitely puts life into perspective. Fiction or not, we are surrounded by people walking through these same trials daily. We don't always know who they are or if we too will be one of them one day. If nothing else, it makes me hug my kids a little more and care less about the things that don't matter like a messy room or dirty dishes left out and cherish every smile, experience, and triumph they face. ""Cancer fights to live""... So should we!</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1NO7CT8TW730U?ASIN=014242417X	Cancer is not a taboo subject anymore!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I decided to read this book, as it is a new movie coming out.  It is supposed to be for young adults, but I feel it should be read by everybody! I thought it was very well written about a subject people tend to ""not write about""! It was sad and funny at the same time, but for young adults it's priceless to know about the real side effects of cancer and what it can do to a family!!  I think the movie is going to be a hit!! Buy this book you won't regret it!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RTDCZWLH1HJIP?ASIN=014242417X	Greatness!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Growing up, I did not read books much. I am now 23 and graduated from college and reading books. I found this just looking at reviews and thought it might be a really good read a lot of people said it was funny. This book was amazing! It had me laughing out loud more times than I can count. It also was very heart felt and sad. An emotional roller coaster. I read the book in less than 24 hours. I could not put it down and it was an amazing read. Great book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3S0YKAEE8MLJ9?ASIN=014242417X	I felt like I was there in Amsterdam watching the elm's confetti ...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I could not put this book down. As a matter of fact I carried it around everywhere with me. It was so well written! Hazel was very relatable. Her honesty was real. I can't imagine what young people with cancer are going through. This book is such.a heart felt dedication to them. I laughed, I cried... I felt like I was there in Amsterdam watching the elm's confetti fall. Don't feel as though reading the book ruins the movie. They both are perfectly synced.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3LSXKKDVCGQ7W?ASIN=014242417X	For the reviewer who thought no teen could be so philosophical.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">When a young person has cancer they grow up fast. They devour life not wanting to miss anything. They absorb all that comes at them. They do question and do become philosophers beyond their years. This was a beautifully told love story about two young intellects that keep a tight grip on being teens. Do read The Emperor of all Maladies as recommended by John Green. The best I had read on the history of this disease. An amazing g malady that taps everyone.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2UEAY8KAAD4RN?ASIN=014242417X	Inspirational	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was written very well. It was like John Green took the words the dwell inside of cancer kids everyday. I don't know Greens story in life but I'm glad he shared something inspiring. He writes about Augustus and his letter to Van Houten and it makes you wonder whether you should try harder to make a mark on the world instead of a scar, or if a scar is what it needs. This book was very inspiring and sad at moments but it was very unique all in one.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RMGGHC1QO6SQX?ASIN=014242417X	Fast read, tearjerker, loved it	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">So I read this book in less than 1 day, super easy read.  But i have to say it is also very thought provoking and captures the emotional rollercoaster cancer brings into the lives of those around it perfectly (this coming from someone who lost her mom to cancer at 17).  Maybe that helped me understand the book better, im not sure, but i loved it.  it was real, and raw, but still light-hearted.  You will laugh, you will cry, but you should read the book!!!</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1QANPF56NG5F3?ASIN=014242417X	Good read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I wasn't blown away as much as others.  I didn't expect a comforting happy sugar-coated read, and I didn't get that.  This book depicts the real side of Cancer. It is also a love story.  There are no puppies and rainbows.  I watched my mother battle the disease for 10 years , and it definitely hit home. The ending was predictable, but i still couldn't put it down. It was depressing but good. If you're looking for more, I would suggest skipping this title.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1B19U4RWZI0IT?ASIN=014242417X	Honest, touching, life-affirming	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Here is a young adult novel that doesn't hesitate to address the knowledge and fear of anticipating death honestly as well as with up-front teen-type humor.  It is not maudlin, but it doesn't skip any of the painful steps toward acceptance.  On the other hand, it gives the reader a true love affair and a chance to appreciate the parental love and support it's possible to give to a child who must, as we all must, leave.  John Green has a real classic here.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R15ERF7VQLQKFE?ASIN=014242417X	"Didn't Even Register that this is a ""Young Adult"" Book, and I have been officially kicked out of the Young Adult Club"	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">John Green is the Best!  I read this book for my book club, and although it is a tough subject (kids with cancer), the characters are all so endearing and funny and the writing is so good that I could not put this book down.  Well, I couldn't stop sliding the pages by on my Kindle.  Even the minor characters - parents, Van Houten, his assistant - all interesting and layered.  Augustus, Hazel Grace, Isaac - you must meet them all in the pages of this book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2UR7YU91MZU43?ASIN=014242417X	It was a good thing I still did	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">For those who are struggling with life in any way must read this. I was a little skeptical about reading this one because so many people had read it already. It was a good thing I still did. It was enlightening and it's a funny read at the same time. It gave me perspective. Gus inspired me to laugh at life's joke in the face. We all have Hazel and Gus within us, that's what I believe.  Everyone, this is a good book and even better than the movie version.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2WTC3M9LKIIS6?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is possibly one of the best, if not the best book I have ever read. John Green is already one of the best authors I know of, and I hope to see more from him like this. The dialogue is executed perfectly, and it's one of those books that makes you think, ""Just one more"", even though you said that 15 pages ago. I would recommend it to anyone who wants a little bit of everything in one book, from cancer to humour to coping with life and death. Read it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1CDB2S437X8GQ?ASIN=014242417X	I didn't expect to like this story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I didn't expect to like this story, certainly not enough to be moved emotionally or to write a review.  But here I am, and yes, I was emotionally invested in these characters without even realizing it.  It is somewhat unbelievable, but isn't that what fiction, and storytelling, is all about...?  Suspend your sensibilities about how you believe teenagers dealing with their own mortality think, feel and behave and just enjoy this story.  It is so worth it!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1KMP7PG7M0KGV?ASIN=014242417X	Well written and deals with tough subject in a sensitive, mature fashion.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Well written and a compelling story. I read the book prior to seeing the film and definitely think this was the right way round as the book has so much more detail and nuances.<br/><br/>It certainly deals with a tough subject matter but the characters are beautifully drawn and you can't help but get very caught up in the story. I read this book at the same time as my teenage son and we had some wonderful conversations based around it. Highly recommend.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RNS24P1OJ83BL?ASIN=014242417X	A masterpiece!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Amazing!!! The Fault in Our Stars by John Green is a masterpiece. Heartwarming, realistic, with each character fully believable, the author handles a difficult subject matter with great finesse, and kind understanding. Don't let the sadness of the story line keep you from reading this beautiful and memorable book, for it also manages to be uplifting. I was so enthralled with the book that I read it in one day. Do yourself a favor - don't miss this book!!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2W954RD6L6HL0?ASIN=014242417X	Sad but beautiful	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I think John green is a amazing author the way he shows the character's emotions and it is a truly sad story and this book shows you having cancer is hard and dangerous to have.<br/>""I can not tell you how thankful I am for our little infinite.  I Wouldn't trade it for the world. You gave me a forever in the numbered days and I am grateful.""<br/>I think that this is a very well written book I can't wait for the movie and everyone should read this book.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in our stars is hands down one of the most amazing, inspirational, well written books I've ever read. The characters were so deep and genuine, I couldn't stop reading. the story gripped me, and I couldn't let it go. we really see inside hazel's world, and experience what everything was truly like for her. there were humorous moments, heart warming moments, and moments that made me just start sobbing. this book is truly a one in a million story.</span>"

This novel made me laugh my guts out and cry until I was out of tears. This is my go-to book for when I need something thought-provoking, I've read it nearly five times by now, and I will never stop reading it.<br/>This is a must-read, with quotes that you'll always remember, and characters that you'll absolutely never forget.<br/>  P.S. Can't wait for the movie release in June!</span>"

I bought this book maybe three hours ago and couldn't put it down.<br/><br/>Now I understand why this book has a 5 star rating. It deserves every single star it gets.<br/><br/>Wonderfully written. I loved all the characters. I can't even think of one complaint. Maybe that I'm crying.<br/>But I'm a big wuss.<br/><br/>I got this book on a whim. Buy this book and have a box of tissue waiting. And probably some chocolate too.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RZB8A1W2SZSN6?ASIN=014242417X	all I can say is: what?!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I can't believe how this book ends. It was such an amazing book and story but it ended way too soon. And I want to know what happens to her!!! I will definitely be reading more of john green. I feel like when you read a book, you escape your own life for just a little. This book allowed me to escape the pains of my own reality and I'm terribly sad it's over now...all his books have great reviews though so hopefully I can escape for a little bit longer!!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3M0Y1DFIONKZ?ASIN=014242417X	I really enjoyed reading this book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I really enjoyed reading this book.  It is written in a fresh perspective of both intellectual teenagers and cancer victims.  Although the language was a little rough in some areas, it was in character with the individual and situation.  This is one of those books that after you have read it you are able to think a little differently about how someone who has cancer might really be feeling.  I think it will engender a little more empathy from all of us.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3BJMP5OEOQD5P?ASIN=014242417X	illness is a joke?	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Okay so I read it with all intentions of bawling my eyes out at the end. That didn't happen. I never felt as if I was in Hazel's shoes. That should have been John's ultimate goal. Also, he basically threw in the fact that he believes Christianity is a waste of time and totally bashed it. Also, with the illnesses he used them almost in a bullying sense in my opinion  Trying to make people find cancer, depression and alcoholism a joke. Although it wasn't.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R20PHNV1YEWVDO?ASIN=014242417X	Pretty darn good	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I wasn't sure what to expect, as I'm older than the typical reader of this book, but the writing was wonderful and the characters definitely interesting enough to make me want to keep reading.  I would fully distrust any teenager as clever and funny and smart and sensitive as Augustus, but that's what books are for.  What a groovy man he would turn out to be.  All in all, I really liked The. Fault In Our Stars and will look for John Green's other books.</span>"

4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RXTJ9FZCT6XCV?ASIN=014242417X	More than just a YA book!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">One of the things I loved most about this book was the intelligence of the protagonists. Hazel and Augustus spoke of and lived life with a clarity and understanding that not many of us possess. This sweet love story never lets the reader forget how sick the protagonists are. The ramification of their cancer is far reaching. It is possible to read this book from many points of view, yet still come away from the book with a lesson about a well lived life.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RCP80WUA7MMXE?ASIN=014242417X	True to Life	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This was a very compelling story of young love and cancer.  Cancer lives with you a lifetime if you are lucky enough to survive the hell you go through just to beat it.  I had to put the book down from reading it several times because I could not see through the tears in order to read.  The book was right on in how cancer feels.  The terms medical professionals &amp; lay people used in the book was dead on.  I loved it.  Didn't like to cry that much though.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RY566G062SRDB?ASIN=014242417X	Deep and very intelligent Literary Novel	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">...Where to start?<br/>Invoking different emotions on so many levels. John Green has become one of my top authors: the novel is  about Hazel and Augustus becoming friends, deeper  than that is the cancer that they both have. Living their life in a World where no one could understand giving a percentage on  to your life...it's much deeper than that, to sum it up I am speechless and a loss for the written word, if I could give  this  novel  a 10 I would.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1TECE1ON4ZS48?ASIN=014242417X	Finally a book I couldn't put down.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Being a full-time college student reading for pleasure is rare. I had forgotten how wonderful it is. The Fault In Our Stars is so well written that you know first that this book is about cancer and illness but find yourself enjoying every moment and laughing along with the characters. I found myself anxious to find a few minutes to sneak in more reading time, enjoying it with laughter and yes tears. Finally, I know what its like to enjoy reading again.</span>"

You'll fall in love with these people	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I cared so much about the two main characters, Hazel and Augustus. I fell in love with both of them. This book kept me up all night reading.<br/><br/>I was a caregiver for my sister who had cancer. She was not a kid; we were both in our fifties. But the tenor and authenticity of these characters rings true to my ""ear."" Hazel and Augustus are ""my"" kind of people.<br/><br/>This was one of the best books I've read in a long, long time.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1XQW2ZKZJJNYN?ASIN=014242417X	No fault in these stars!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read this book because I was urged by my 15 year old granddaughter, I admit I was dubious , But I was surprised how much I was deeply touched by this tenderly written book., I shed  a few tears but it was as I said a tenderly written book on a usually taboo subject which is normally a very personal illness. So thank you , dear pumpkin for getting me away from my usual genre of mayhem and murder!! John Green<br/>you deserve every one of these stars!!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1Q4EGKJYF71CM?ASIN=014242417X	I Have no Words to Describe the Inevitable	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Definitely one of the most quotable and inspiring books out there. It makes you look at the world in a whole new light. Sure some people think that if you have cancer that nobody will fall in love with you, trust me I watched a YouTube video of a girl saying that, but you have to keep in mind that Augustus also has cancer- though he's NEC (No Evidence of Cancer)<br/><br/>But this book is amazing and very well written from the Teenagers point of view.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1NEOQ96S7Z9A0?ASIN=014242417X	A must read!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I just finished reading this book and I'm so in love with Hazel Grace and Gus! As a 21 year osteogenic sarcoma survivor, Mr. Green completely conveys the thoughts, worries, ideas, and concerns that an adolescent cancer patient has on a daily basis. These do not go away once the chemotherapy, radiation and the ""5 year cancer free"" diagnosis are over. Simply an amazing book; one that every person should be required to read. Cancer patient or not.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book has become very known within the last few months, it went from people just picking it off the shelf at the store and finishing it, telling others to read it, to a movie coming out in the next few days. Now, I finally understand why people mentioned it so much. Honestly, this book has now become my most favorite of all. It made me feel so much joy, yet so much sadness. Thank you for writing this wonderful novel. Keep up your fantastic work. xx</span>"

I also enjoyed how supportive her parents were. I (unlike my friends) thought it was a good craft move when(spoiler alert) gus died because it shows things are better when they are short lived. I think  it is good for 6th graders to adult.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1UCCZ4T3PCXRW?ASIN=014242417X	Well written, but not totally believable characters...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The book was very well-written.  However, the two main characters (Gus and Hazel), were not altogether believable.  Not only did the author create two characters that sounded almost EXACTLY the same (through their dialog), but they also seemed too philosophical at their young ages of 17 and 16 years old respectively.<br/><br/>If you're looking for a good simple read, this is a fantastic book overall (warning, it may be a little bit of a tear-jerker).</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3KWG41TL2932F?ASIN=014242417X	beautiful!!!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">It's 3am, I have a meeting at 8 with my VP and here I am: still awake, swollen eyed and runny nosed from reading the entire book in one sitting sobbing at some points so hard I had to put it down.<br/><br/>I think this would be a good book even if the reader's life had not been touched by cancer/illness but my POV is unfortunately clouded.

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2XCJ7RPE9NUTO?ASIN=014242417X	I stand moved	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I did not enjoy our finish Looking for Alaska by John Green but that had no negative impact on me liking this book. It is skilled writing in that, shortly into it, I already wanted to know more about the characters and find out their stories. this is a book about about kids with terminal cancer but it does a good job not being a ""cancer book"" (to quote this work). cancer is more the setting than the subject. this was a rapid read and highly recommended</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1U5YIGL8FW0KY?ASIN=014242417X	this book was astounding	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">There is no way to describe how astounding this book is. The way that John Green was able to create a marvellous peice of literature from a concept so horrible and terrible is incredible. This book is incredible and a book to be cherished and read over and over again. Thank you to John Green for sharing this marvellous eice of writing with us.<br/>This book is amazing and I would recomend this book to anyone.<br/>  Yours truly,  Rachel Goryachkovskiy</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2M8DGZ6RH3P2F?ASIN=014242417X	Incredible	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I have been avoiding the movie, despite all the wonderful comments from viewers, for quite some time now. I wanted desperately to read the book first, which is always better. I must say, I was not displeased. It has been a fairly long amount of time since a book has captured my attention so thoroughly. It sucks you in and pulls you into Hazel's shoes as much as any author can. It is thought provoking and compelling. I would highly recommend to anyone.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RRYVA1SZMK2UP?ASIN=014242417X	Epic!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I fell in love with John Green 's writing after reading «Looking for Alaska», in his stories you can find laughter and tears knowing that the man who wrote this stories is indeed a genius and a very passionate person for what he does for a living.<br/><br/>I recommend this book to every person who loves to get caught up in a story since the very beginning of it. Prepare yourself to laugh and cry to one of the most beautiful stories I have ever read.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3EHARWFHZNPVZ?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I chose this rating because this book has changed my vision of life. I appreciate it more. And the way the book ends is beautiful. It ends almost like Imperial Affliction. You don't know what happens to Hazel Grace or her family. But you don't really care either because what happens before is too breath-taking to worry about it. So, make up your own theory to what happens. But before you can do that you have to ,of course, read The Fault in Our Stars.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1F98761P1631F?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book filled me with many, many emotions throughout it all. I was ecstatic and infuriated and even crestfallen multiple times in this book. There is really nothing to dislike about this book if you love to read good books and tend to develop relationships with fictional characters. It really does not matter your age in order to really enjoy any book. It now is one of my top three favorite books of all time! John Green has done well with this book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R4IWRDE0IBEZ6?ASIN=014242417X	Enjoyed The Book!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I liked the book a lot! I wanted to read it before seeing the movie ...  plus my daughter highly recommended it. While I think that everyone can relate to the characters in the book, I did especially as I am disabled. I'm not a cancer survivor but a polio survivor. I understand what it's like to live with a disability.<br/><br/>While I enjoyed the book a lot, I thought that it was rather predictable ... and that's why I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3LQIC9RF83IVD?ASIN=014242417X	Some infinities are bigger than other infinities.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Definitely worth reading. I wanted to read the book before seeing the movie (which I still haven't) as I always do. The book exceeded my expectations of being just another teen romance with a massive display at Hot Topic. This is not Twilight. This is not Hunger Games. You will cry, and hopefully walk away with a better appreciation for being at least relatively healthy. As a sick person, this little book came at the right time to give me perspective.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2UCNXJ0CSDW7H?ASIN=014242417X	absolute	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">After reading this book for the third time, I refuse to believe that I fully understand the book. Why? Because I do not. I may never but that is because of John Green's amazing use of wisdom and philosophy to all together make an amazing book. Readers will ball their eyes out and mourn and fall in love just as Hazel Grace Lancaster has and will forever be changed. If I could read this book for the rest of my small or large infinity I would be glad to.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1QV5WSHUW0RGQ?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault Within Our Selves	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book, a life changing novel written by the brilliant John Green reveals the true facts of our universe and shows an example of how sick people, aren't the side effects we assume them to be. It shows us that there is not a fault in our world or our universe, but in ourselves and it takes you on a journey, through the metaphorical resonances of the human life. I give The Fault In Our Stars 5 stars, because there is no fault in it, but in ourselves.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R174NUNCKTWCQO?ASIN=014242417X	AMAZING BOOK!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was recommended to me by my Cousin. I am not really into reading books but after she told me about the book, I kept hearing all these great things about it.  Coming from someone that doesn't EVER read unless I have to for school work, I read this book in 2 days easily.  I probably would have finished it in 1 day had my Husband not been home to interrupt me lol.  Can’t wait to see the movie that comes out TODAY!  THIS IS A MUST READ FOR SURE!</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1Z48VRXND5A24?ASIN=014242417X	An amazing and life altering novel	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars is one of the best novels I have ever read! The story of Hazel Grace and Augustus Waters is one of star crossed lovers who inspire one to believe in true and everlasting love. This book touched my heart and I instantly fell in love with the characters as well as their strength. One of the most well written novels and I highly recommend reading this epic love story which will make you think completely differently about the world.</span>"

I see this struggle played out in the dreamlike fantasy story of star crosses young love. Each character rresented a dimension of the reaction and coming to terms with diagnosis and the final transition to acceptance of death that we all must come to...if we are lucky enough to have the time to do the work before we go. BRILLIANT!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R18MDO4ROWTYGQ?ASIN=014242417X	Great book!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I didn't know what to expect from a book about two cancer kids but this story is lovely without being really depressing (which is what you would guess based on the subject). I've never thought about mortality in the way these characters had to and I'm so glad for reading this and being exposed to it, I feel more ready to engage in those thoughts now in a positive and constructive way. This is worth the read, I finished in a day because it was so good.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3P4WHN1DSB2N9?ASIN=014242417X	I wasn't right for days...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Not your typical love story. At first, i was going to completely disregard this book because, come on, it's a love story. Predictable, right? WRONG. This book had so many turnarounds i was in a constant state of shock while reading the book. Afterwards, I was so sad (traumatized?) i would stand in the shower, think about the book, cry, then pretend i was in a music video. If that doesn't describe how much this book affects then i don't know what does.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1LWF2UZB3OCFL?ASIN=014242417X	about as close to a 5 as I can get	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I actually picked this book because Goodreads suggested the book, comparing it to other books I had read that I liked. After reading such a well written book, I feel inadequate in attempting to narrate my thoughts and feelings on the novel. Ultimately, a 5 star book throughout but the closure surrounding the final few chapters of the book seemed a little stretched and drawn out, without enough actual closure. It was good with lots of moments of great.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RETFS9VO25U80?ASIN=014242417X	Worth Reading	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Tender and funny.  It made me cry and it made me giggle.  It is hard to imagine saying that a book where two teense who have serious physical issues who meet in a support group could be funny, but it is.  In a way, it is hopeful too.  The title comes from Shakespeare:  ""The fault...is not in our stars but in ourselves...""  In this case, nothing that they had done cause their physical faults...it was ""in the stars"" when they were born.</span>"

It's about this girl named Hazel Grace Lancaster who has cancer, and she meets a boy named Augustus Waters at a cancer kid support group. Hazel and Augustus fall in love. They travel to Amsterdam to meet the author of their favorite book, and go to fancy restaurants and hotels. There is also another friend named Isaac who is blind. I strongly recommend that you read this book, no matter what any other reviews say.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1SHI2RB6W34HI?ASIN=014242417X	It was an easy read and not a bad story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The reason I decided to read this is because I have teenagers who wanted to go see this movie and I wanted to see what all the hype was about.  It was an easy read and not a bad story, and I realize most people don't seem to care anymore, but I don't understand why there has to be so much cussing in a book meant for kids (and yes, I know the argument that they hear it all the time anyway, but I don't believe that means we should lower our standards).</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R38ALOQVATLW0C?ASIN=014242417X	ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS IN THE WORLD	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">One of my friends from school told me about this book she was reading. The fault in our stars. She said it was an awsome book. She started telling me about the book but i kind of zoned out. I was watching youtube one time and this 30 second ad came up. I couldn't skip it so i watched it. It got my attention. At the very end, it said the fault in our stars coming soon. I decided i needed to read this book before i watched the move.

The ability to just tap on the big words he used made it so easy. I will read this story again and again. I have chosen this book as the first read of a book club I have started in my neighborhood.

I can not wait to read John Green's other books... though i suspect they wont live up to this one. sigh. Anyway, enough people giving synopsis so I don't want to do that.

When I was in the sixth grade a boy in my class' mother died of cancer I decided I wanted to go. It was one of the hardest funerals I've ever been to, I'll never forget the look on his face. this book made me thing about all of my family and friends suffering of cancer.

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I've read all of John Green's books (Except looking for alaska - that s next!) and my favorite is between this one and an abundance of Katherines. This is such a sweet story, and I literally got sucked in and couldn't put it down! I have to admit, it did make me cry. don't read this if you need a pick me up, haha. But the story is great and you really feel for and love with the characters. It seems like thats the case with any of his books, though :)</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2XUYX9IJVGSA2?ASIN=014242417X	TFIOS	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I was a bit skeptical to read this novel because i'm a really indecisive person when it comes to reading a book. Although, I did read John Green's, Looking for Alaska, I was afraid of being bored of the novel. TFIOS is a great novel and leaves you thinking. It has great quotes that leaves me questioning sometimes. But overall the book is wonderful. I am going to contiue reading more of John Greens' books :) I hope this helps any book worms out there.</span>"

I became intrigued by seeing quotes from the author on the Prichard blog. The book takes a while to set up. My patience was aided by the fact that I was familiar with Indianapolis. The wait was worth it. Green does a wonderful, magical job of pulling the many threads together to a unexpected inspiring finish that I will remember for many years to come. Now all I have to do is to find time to read more of his books.</span>"

I ""had"" a hard time identifying metaphors until I read this. I truly love it. I want to read it over and over again. I could quote this book time after time. It really makes you think about life, how losing someone is hard. Thank you john green. I wish I had more time to write about his excellence but I'm tired. I've read 100 pages tonight. I think I might just start reading it again.</span>"

I love how this book says statements that I can relate to and find them totally true!<br/> In the book "" An Imperial Affliction""( which is a book in the book) ends like this one. I do love how it ends but I do wish ( like Hazel) that we could find out what happens to some of the characters in the book and their future life. Loved it!  Bringing some tissues to the movies and getting ready for some laughs!!!!</span>"

When she started again, she didn't stop until it was done. I started reading this book this morning. I could not put it down!  I just finished it; feeling much like Hazel &amp; her favorite book; I was angry when it was over even though the last hour I've been reading through my tears, I wanted more. It was a great book!  I look forward to reading other books by John Green.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2IJ4ANBBVHTM1?ASIN=014242417X	Some faults but overall worth four stars.................	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">A very good book. I will say it ended just like the book ended that the two main  characters loved, rather abruptly. I did manage not to cry.  I'm surprised because almost everyone I know who has read this says that they cried. It was predictable but at the same time there were a few surprises. I've read better books that had more of an emotional impact on me, but this is definitely not a bad story. Above average read. Good stuff, just not the best.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RXTNDMAZP4XPQ?ASIN=014242417X	Don't Skip Over This One!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is, by far, one of my favorite books for young adults.  However, I have found it appeals to readers of all ages, much like The Hunger Games or Harry Potter.  As a high school teacher, I recommend it to every student, boys and girls, &amp; I haven't found one who hasn't been able to relate to the characters' lights in some ways.  Thank you, John Green, for finding the voice of today's generation and presenting it in a way that we can all appreciate.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R215ILAPM8VTOJ?ASIN=014242417X	John Green does it again!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I love this book. I was reading it as my grandmother, herself, was suffering through sarcoma, and I genuinely think it helped me through the process. Don't bother watching the movie, it's nothing in comparison to John Green's book. John Green is my favorite author, and he did a phenomenal job with this one. I couldn't put the book down. This has quickly become my all-time favorite book, and I highly recommend anyone reading it. You won't regret it!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R22KDE006J87XS?ASIN=014242417X	I absolutely enjoyed this book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">My first John Green read. I absolutely enjoyed this book. I felt it was a little slow to start off with, but once it got going, it was a great read. I only gave this book four stars though. I'm really unsure why, maybe its because there isn't really an ""end"" to the book. Nothing is said about Hazel, you are allowed to guess what happened to her, or write your own ending. I look forward to reading my next John Green book, Looking For Alaska.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1MQ1XZ3WZ7RMR?ASIN=014242417X	Devastating but hopeful	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This was a heavy read for me.  I started reading this book as I learned that my cousin was dying of cancer and also my Fiance is a cancer survivor.  Some of the plot was typical and easy to guess what was coming, but it doesn't hurt the book. Its uplifting as much as it was depressing for me.  I am scared that my fiance will have a relapse, but at the same time I have to enjoy life with him for however long I can. Which is what this book taught me.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RSO3B2NG1QSC5?ASIN=014242417X	Great read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I wanted to read the book before the movie comes out in DVD. Really liked the book but I think Gus and Hazel should have had more adventures together, I would like to have seen Hazel find a girlfriend for Isaac and I would have liked to see Hazel go back to school after Gus' s death. She shouldn't have had to be alone and it would have been a good chance for the writer to show her real friends VS her not so close friends. Things ended too abruptly.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R20SUNW1HQYQ2V?ASIN=014242417X	5 stars isn't enough to give this book, it deserves so many more!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">There's not enough star options to give this the star rating I would give it.  5 isn't enough!!!  It's one of those books that you don't want to ever end.  I was hooked from the very first page.  I love John Green's writing he style, too.  He like, talks the way people talk today - especially my family.  And the story - I could totally relate because it was like I was reading about my parents if they had been teenagers, right down to the illnesses.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3HWLIR5C5S8HV?ASIN=014242417X	Grab some tissues to read this one	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">A wonderful story with laughs and tears. A great read for teens and adults who like short romance stories. It is a romance, but the teenage angst is overshadowed by the sorrow of young people with cancer, so there is more than the usual pain and struggle. I could not give it five stars because it was not entertaining due to the heaviness of the subject, and because the well written story left me with such sorrow for the children and their families.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2H6K1MN7SQ3NY?ASIN=014242417X	5 Stars for The Fault In Our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">A realistic portrayal of life and death and the days in between for Hazel Grace!  Hazel who is 16 and diagnosed with terminal cancer is forced to get out of the house to attend a support group for teens facing cancer.  Although, Hazel goes solely to please her mother it becomes a life changing experience for Hazel.  The life changer is Augustus Waters.  An often funny and painful story of young love that begins and ends and leaves you wanting more!</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">An engaging read where we can almost predict the ending.  The author stirs our emotions but the sense of loss becomes a necessity of their lives.  The trials of a cancer patient or victim as some might prefer are very real.  One can only hope that in the course of dying the joy of loving someone and being loved in return would lighten the load that one must carry to the grave.  I can only hope that this story of love is played out around the world.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RJOUECOV7PR65?ASIN=014242417X	"Not your typical ""dying of cancer"" book"	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I started reading a book for a book club, probably would not have reached for it otherwise. I am not a fan of ""cancer stories"". Regardless of how sad and unnecessary it is, I do not find inspiration in how people go about dying. This is not this book, though. the main character convinces us that it is possible to lead totally normal life of a teeneager, and do something more than just ""have cancer"". Amazing story, well worth a read.</span>"

There are two main characters in this book, Hazel and Augustus.<br/>Spoiler- they both have cancer.  Hazel is terminal and is a witty, funny wise beyond her years girl. She meets her match in Augustus.  The author John Green has a way of making the characters real and I was sobbing at around page 245 or 80% into the book.<br/>Ugh...this is a special book that is hard to explain but worth the read!!!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1JP158B2A5PXS?ASIN=014242417X	the fault in our stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">this is a story of teenagers suffering from various forms of incurable cancer so you know there wont be a happy ending.  but along the way they are fatalistic and realistic about their situation and determined to  make the best of what life they have.  it was very, very sad in many places, but also inspiring in many others.  this is a story that has been around for years but has never  been told before and I for one am glad it if finally out there.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R22GK7MCJXOIIM?ASIN=014242417X	Perfection	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">What can be said when you find perfection?  That is what this writer wrote. Mr Green is a genius with words and story line. I could not put this book down, and to be honest, I did not expect it to be this good. Good is a dreadful word for this book, nothing less than fabulous will do. The characters are wonderfully described, the plot is so good and engaging you cannot put it down. Really, one cannot say enough, this book is perfection. A must but</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3JIMGG2ZX4OI8?ASIN=014242417X	Unexpected	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Too often I've seen this type of story told in a very negative view. John Green manages to add a fair amount of humor with the undertones of a love story. I felt the pain that was felt by each of the characters in their moments of weakness, but I also laughed every time I came across the witty banter between the two main characters. I have not yet seen the movie, and I'm not sure I want to because I don't want to ruin my impressions of this story.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1O0GUNQHYLTKN?ASIN=014242417X	Book opens one's eyes to the humaness of people with terminal cancers.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The normalcy with which the cancers are treated and how the treatments are treated makes the reader realize the drive for life humans possess. The courage and heroism of the parents is what impacted me the most. I cannot even fathom what a parent must experience 24/7 in dealing with a terminal child. How this author portrayed the ""author"" in the book is also interesting; more truth than people realize. Great read if one likes tear jerkers!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3BY2T25X46VMU?ASIN=014242417X	I love it	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is absolutely wonderful, if you haven't read it you need to. The main characters are cancer riddled teenagers and they are written so well and intelligently. A lot of YA books tend to dumb down teens but John Green does a great job in telling the story and portraying the characters. Warning: You are going to need at least 3 boxes of tissues while reading this book. Its beautifully sad and I cannot wait until the movie comes out. 6/6/2014</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RNTBXQUM1LDVW?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in our Starts	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The only reason I read this book is because my 15 year old daughter said it was such a good book and that I should read it.  She and her best friend both read the book and we so excited to hear a movie was coming out.  It was good! I laughed, I cried, I was mad.  Just like the storey line in the book, I want to know more.  What happens after the book ended?  It is a good book for teenagers to read, expecially if they have never experienced cancer.</span>"

The tale that John green tells in this book has far beyond surprised me on how he even suppressed this wonderful idea . While reading this book you might find yourself feeling like Hazel, wanting to re-read this book all over again . Than again you might also going yourself wanting to go to Amsterdam or Indiana . I tip my hat to John green , for I now have a favorite book .</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RYMZ2KHSFQQFP?ASIN=014242417X	My daughter loved it, I thought it was extremely sad and depressing.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Got it for my 13 year old daughter, she loved it! Since she liked it so much I thought I would read it. I had a hard time with the book because of the subject matter. My best friend died of cancer, my sister-in-law died of cancer, my grandfather died of cancer, my nephew lost his leg to bone cancer, and my husband is a cancer survivor. So, I think this book is directed and written for YA who have not experienced the tragedies of cancer first hand.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is one of the saddest books I have ever read, yet it provides great insight into the lives we know so little about. This book had me crying by the end, as I was not only feeling for the characters, but as well for my own losses. This book has shown me comfort, and I will reread it every time i feel like my life doesn't matter, and every time i feel i should just die. I Hope this book will comfort you as it has me.

4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1H0B239RDW7R?ASIN=014242417X	A GRAND BOOK	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was not your traditional love story. I liked that. I also liked that it wasn't a dumb teenage novel, as some writers tend to do when writing a novel narrated by a teenager, especially a female. I took my time reading, and this book instantly became a favorite of mine. Honestly, I'm happy I read the book before seeing the movie, since I may not even watch the movie because they tend to ruin the book. A great read. A new favorite of mine.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1ULI5DYTYWO23?ASIN=014242417X	A must read for all young adults!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This was a really great young-adult novel and a bit of a tearjerker. A very relatable book, I'm sure, to teenaged girls and boys. As I am a little bit older, however, this book didn't have the depth that I would have like to have seen. I do have to give the author credit for the straight-forward, honest and poignant style of his writing which I found enjoyable. All in all, I would recommend this book to anyone looking for an all around good read.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R39V3NBL9CWLWD?ASIN=014242417X	Beautifully Written	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Oh my gosh, this is just such an amazing story. The characters, Hazel and Gus are just so love able, and not only the story is amazing, but John Green wrote it so wonderfully, its easy to know what's going on because of how he writes. It made me think of things that Hazel and Gus mentioned, and changed me. This really changed my life. its got some swear words, so i wouldn't recommend kids to read,  buy as i said, amazing, and beautifully written.</span>"

This book is captivating you never know what's going to happen like it's real life. I enjoy every pages. All the happy and sad moments. Many people will call this morbid. I believe it shows a true sense of reality. I would recommend the fault in our stars to younger reader such as myself. It shows that life isn't always what you want it to be. Life it truly something to behold.</span>"

It is a well written book about very sad subject matter.....teens with cancer. It's very real and raw in its depiction of the emotions and struggles these teens and their families go through while fighting this disease. Nothing is held back. I kept needing to remind myself of the disclaimer at the beginning of the book where the author reminds us that 100% of the book is fiction. Have you tissue box handy.</span>"

This book is amazing for teen readers who feel they are trapped in a world of depression. Sure things get worse before they get better but they do get better. While I was reading this book I laughed and cried froze with horror wept with happiness. Green is a great author who has implanted all emotions into this book. This book is downright amazing.</span>"

It passed the ""read a random page"" test, and was still on my mind when I got home, so I bought it on Amazon. This book defies all expectation so I won't endeavor to create any, except to say if you think a book about teens with cancer isn't for you, push past that preconception and read a random page. You won't find a bad one.</span>"

A family member recently has been battling cancer and this book hit home.<br/><br/>I have children -a teen and a preteen- and I read this book ""as a mom."" Hazel's mom's fear of not being a mom anymore really struck me.<br/><br/>Excellent quick read you won't forget.</span>"

He just doesn't understand.... First I would like to say that this book is far better than I thought it would be. It's so heart wrenching. Everything about this book is amazing. August Waters and Hazel Grace will forever be in my heart. Never have I read a book that makes me reflect on my own life and the people I love. Never have I read a book that makes me appreciate life.

I really enjoyed the book. I understand that death and dying is a very touchy subject. And most people can't handle reading about these controversial subjects. But this book is a lot like real life.  It doesn't glamorize illness. Nor does it only focus on that subject. The story line was great and the characters were interesting. If you enjoy this novel. I highly recommend you see the movie.</span>"

Before I read it, there was nothing I'd do more than read it. Now I think I'll die if I don't see the movie. All my friends told me not to watch the movie because they thought it was too sad. I think that the movie will be sad but not as sad as they say it is.<br/>If you like romance books, then read this. It is about the most wonderfully sad love between two teenagers.</span>"

The boyfriend tries to help his girlfriend get the answers to the untied ends of her favorite book from its eccentric author.

It is sad, funny, thrilling, and every possible there is to describe those three words. I read this book in 6 days. I could never stop reading. This is the only bigger type book i have ever read in less than a week. You will love it if you like love stories and sad ending romances. It does have words and physical stuff that i would rather not read or read about. But in the end, it all wraps up to be a good book.</span>"

John Green has an awesome way of writing and that is what got me hooked on this book. I normally don't notice if it is written nicely but yeah this time I did. I think over all it was kinda sad, but also humorous especially in the beginning. there is a bedroom scene but nothing too bad. It is slightly gruesome at one part. overall it is extremely unique and entertaining... (I stayed up until 2:00am)</span>"

Most people know the book deals with a love story about two kids struggling with cancer, and I felt it was dealt with in an honest and empathic way. Augustus Waters and Hazel Grace jump off the page and come to life, and the book had me alternately laughing, mourning, and cheering. A YA book that can easily be enjoyed by adults and kids alike, Fault in Our Stars is a small masterpiece.</span>"

It is such a great read. Story of love, pain, a bit of an adventure, and an inevitable ending that will leave you cursing the author's name. I picked up this book without even knowing what it was about and ended up reading the entire thing in nearly one setting. John Green is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2E2I9Z1U1B3Y9?ASIN=014242417X	Good book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is well written, it is positively sweet, funny, heartbreaking, and steers ordinary people to blow off any miniscule flaws that they have about themselves.<br/>I only gave 4 stars bc I think the audience is more towards adolescents.  The characters are 16-17  y/o.  Also, the author uses words that people don't normally use in everyday language.  To me this upsets my reading, especially when I have to stop and think what does that mean?</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Loved it, although the movie was a significant disappointment in comparison. John has successfully narrated a very somber story line without a ""documentary"" or ""chicken soup for the soul"" feel to it.<br/><br/>Narrated in a seemingly sarcastic tone, the reason I loved the book so much was the ability of communicate the story of 2 relatively ""normal, a.k.a silly"" leads, despite the heavy weight of cancer imposed on them.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RMS2WIU8ZKJRW?ASIN=014242417X	I liked it	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I liked this book. I committed the sin of seeing the movie 4 times before I read the book. I guess you could say I liked the story. It was good to read the book. It kind of bothered me that the kids who had cancer seemed to be in a ""club"". An exclusive club that you had to be invited to be in by the club members. But I've never had cancer, so I wouldn't know about the club. At any rate, I thought it was a good book about life and death.</span>"

That said, I couldn't put it down. It was a good, short vacation read.<br/><br/>The dialogue did get a little old in some<br/>parts - it reminded me of the annoying, unrealistic/trying-to-hard way the mom and daughter talked to each other in Gilmore Girls. So I did quite a bit of skimming through the poor attempts at being philosophical.</span>"

The love between Hazel and Augustus was a true love that has never been captured before even in dreams. I wish for more books such as this. Honest and strong.<br/>Writing behind the eyes of a sixteen year old girl is never easy and for any girl reading this, it makes us question and rethink life. I'm sure for young gentlemen that has read this, also means something about love and life.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1PC5YN8TT52VX?ASIN=014242417X	Beautiful	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">A story that really captures life in it's real form, love how love should be felt, and sadness the way no one wants to. Hazel's view on life is how I will forever see living from now on. Recommended for those seeking answers, to see into the painful lives of those who have witnessed, need a good love story or to cry, just to cry. This book is amazing and there are really no other words I can say to express how truly John Green wrote this novel.</span>"

Work and life seem to get in the way of things but the second I started reading this book I was sucked in. Took me 48 hours to finish. I was so in love with the characters and not sadden by this story but given hope because these two star crossed lovers showed that you can live with pain. I would definitely suggest this book...and make sure you read it before the movie comes out!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1I6ZL6WDC5858?ASIN=014242417X	Have a Tissue Ready	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read this book because my son wanted to read it and I typically try to read along or preview books my children, when possible. I didn't know what to expect with this book but I liked it.  It is well written, it is funny and raw.  There were several times throughout the book that I had to set it aside because I thought I might cry.  I think that is a sign of a job well done by an author.  I liked it even more because it is set in Indianapolis.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3GXZ00BSJ3J2S?ASIN=014242417X	a triumph to the human spirit	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I had to read this book for school but I came out emotionally scarred in the most perfect way possible. This book will make you think about the choices you've made in your life just waiting for a simple human emotion. The meaning of simple words like ""Okay"" transformed into a completely metaphorical meaning and falling in love to another dimension. This book has changed my outlook in life and I can truly say it is a triumph to the human spirit.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3POJEYADGA35G?ASIN=014242417X	Heartbreaking, incredible	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is special. I don't think I cried or smiled this much at any one book before. Those who think this is just a YA novel are wrong. This is a book for everyone and I think everyone would be just a little better for havig read it. John Green is a wonderful author and person and I hope to one day thank him in person for writing this incredible piece of literature. I will definitely  recommend this book to anyone looking for a amazing read.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R364MNS0VA61HX?ASIN=014242417X	speechless ending.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars, by John Green, is an incredible story that you were pulled deeper into the book page by page. Every last word had it's special spot in the book. I am left speechless after finishing it. It's just like in hazel and Gus's book An Imperial Affliction how they are left with so unanswered things. But we are left with speechless ending of their love never to hear of what happens to Hazel Grace. I am truly touched by this book.</span>"

I was driven to take more time and enjoy my teenage life after reading. Often we get caught up in day to day activity, TFIOS reminds us all that the best and most rewarding experiences come from the simple things such as love. John Green, you are amazing. Thank you for having an ability to write and an ability to create emotion. DFTBA</span>"

It shed some light on cancer. It was a beautiful love story. The book did what it was  supposed to do. It wasn't the best book I've  ever read. I finished it in exactly one day. This book definitely made me fall in love with the characters, however I somehow didn't cry at the end. Tears were forming in my eyes, but nothing over extreme. This Is an amazing book to read.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1OM3IGFXZWXHH?ASIN=014242417X	Different perspective	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I enjoyed this book. I liked getting a different perspective on teen love than the usual silly drama. I did feel that the language was much beyond any sixteen year old ive ever met using words and wit that i don't even posses at 31 but the author clearly has a much more intellectual mind then i. Other than that i would recommend this book to any gender or age. Its sad but realistic in most ways and makes you appreciate the small things in life.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2Q92GFCD95GV5?ASIN=014242417X	Provoking, multi-layered love story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I rated this five stars because it caused me to look up the meaning.g of words I didn't know. But, more importantly, it took me on a journey of love. Love of life in general, love of family, first love. also portrayed the many ways with which grief is dealt.<br/>I would recommend this book to all teens and anyone dealing with a ""terminal"" illness, whether it is you, a loved one or someone you know.<br/>Sometimes hard to read but so worth it!</span>"

I absolutely love this book. It will most likely become a book that I will reread and reread again. This book is such a sweet and sad, beautiful piece of literature. I fell in love with these characters. The ending is something you didn't expect. And yes, I cried. I am very anxious to see the film adaptation when it comes to DVD. A work well done, John Green!!!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2KWA548NL21XD?ASIN=014242417X	Beautifully Tragic	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I enjoyed this book from the first page to the very end.  It was emotionally taxing at the end and I sobbed my way through the last few chapters but I would still recommend this story as I was impressed by the wit of the characters (the author, of course) and laughed literally out loud.  I admit, I worried the author was going to end this story as abruptly as the book that tormented the characters and relieved even through sobs that it didn't.</span>"

The fault in our stars was beautifully written, and I hope the movie is as we'll. the matter of the book is it teaches a lesson for those fighters, true love should be felt in your life time. You shouldn't let the boundaries that make you a unique individual. Read this book and you will experience a love story, between two star crossed lovers.</span>"

I started it in the wee hours expecting a little light reading that would lull me pleasantly to sleep, but became to engrossed to allow my drooping eyelids to win. Now, I have to fall asleep in my tear-dampened tee shirt because there is no more to read. I can't remember the last time any book literally kept me up all night long. What a pleasure my weariness this afternoon will remind me of.</span>"

Nor am I the kind to read about people with illnesses.  So when I first picked up this book it was unlikely that I would enjoy it.  But I found out I was wrong.  John Green did a great job making me fall in love with these characters.  I am inspired to read more of his works.  I am ready to cry some more.  And before I go I want to say that I wish I had an Augustus Waters.  Minus the whole cancer part.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R152ZVLWM7DOAS?ASIN=014242417X	"So much more than a ""Young Adult"" novel!"	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I am nearly 40 years old and I loved this book! I read it in 3 days....and I am NOT a ""romance"" novel fan. I don't usually do tragic love stories, but as soon as I met Hazel Grace, I knew this book was different. John Green takes you into the mind of Hazel and you experience the most true of loves right along with her as she meets and falls in love with Augustus Waters. This book is a must read for anyone who wants to re-live their first love.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R31QKODIZWQ3E9?ASIN=014242417X	Wonderful	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Though I am usually not a big fan of YA literature, I loved this book. I read this book in one sitting, an impulse which I have not had in a long time. This book made me ugly cry and sob, but it also made me smile involuntarily. This book is not perfect; there are a few things in the plot I wouldn't mind removing. At the same time, it is everything a book read for leisure should be: it's captivating and moving and entertaining. Wonderful read.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R7LM3IKK3S4BN?ASIN=014242417X	Made me happy and sad!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I really enjoyed reading this book.  I laughed, I cried, and then I told my friends all about it.  I thought Hazel Grace was a great character.  She was sharp as a tack and had me laughing out loud at times.  However, the subject matter is pretty grim.  Hazel is a teenager who has terminal cancer and makes some friends at a support group.  You know you are in for some sadness but I enjoyed the ride.  I will look for more titles by this author.</span>"

When I quickly caught on, I considered not reading it because I knew it would be tragic and sad and I just wasn't in the mood for that kind of book. But I kept reading because I just enjoyed the voice of the main character so much and the story already had me in its grip.<br/>Now that I have finished it, I am very glad I read it. It was tragic and beautiful and ultimately uplifting.</span>"

My students were carrying this around, demanding that I read it. I did … I chose poorly. I didn't check out the plot line and took it to a doctor's appointment. Ended up spending longer at the doc's than I thought so I managed to read the whole thing in one sitting. By the time I got in to see the doctor, I was all red, puffy and sniffly. He thought I was ill. No, just too attached to fictional characters.<br/><br/>Damn you John Green!</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I have read books and followed them by seeing the movie versions and I always feel dissatisfied that so many details are left out of the movies. I realized that is part of what makes reading so much better. also I realized while I dislike the edited for tv stories in the end I still love the books and the movies. I loved this book and I can not wait to see how bad they edit the movie version even tho I know I will love it as much as the book.</span>"

And Gus, he is to good, he shouldn't die. When he died i cried i felt like the world was flipped. Good, innocent people shouldn't be cursed with this disease, no one should. But they, Gus and hazel, didn't let that bring them down and i love that. This book has gave me hope for a good future and to find love just like Gus and hazel found love, found there forever.</span>"

The story was very touching and the characters really came to life. I had a loved one die from leukemia and Hazel reminded me of her.<br/><br/> I purchased the kindle version of the book but I will be adding the physical book to my library because this is a story I will read again. And, some stories are just meant to be read on paper and not a gadget.<br/><br/>May God bless you and keep you.<br/><br/>TONIA</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R26OBIHIYY07Q2?ASIN=014242417X	hauntingly beautiful	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book while very well written, is just so darn sad. It has a poetic feel to it that I would describe as hauntingly beautiful. It's definitely one that will stick with you. I loved the characters and really felt some pangs in my chest at all they were going through. I am overall glad I read the book and would have given it a higher rating, but the depressed and down feeling that stayed with me a few days after reading, took that last star.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R29EFV8AIZKE1G?ASIN=014242417X	Cancer Love Story - Interesting Point of View	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Worth the read.  Interesting to see cancer struggles from the point of view of one who is living with the disease.  Liked the straight forward, tell it like it is character, Hazel.  For someone who has not struggled with cancer, or has not known anyone close that has struggled with it... I wouldn't know how true or not these feelings would be, but it does make me appreciate my own health more and makes me more empathetic towards those who do.</span>"

The book isn't based of some bullsh*t it reaches inside u and pulls out something you didn't know was there. The reality of the story was touching by itself not to mention how well written. To sum up the media just wrote loved it</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R35Q1IXTQGQOID?ASIN=014242417X	Good book, easy read, sad love story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is a book that you could probably read in three or four long sessions.  It is fast paced and quite frankly, a little depressing.  But definately makes you think about how life is so fragile and how fleeting it can be.  Although it could have had a little more depth, it really seems to tap into the teen-age psyche.  The characters are likable, although again, more depth would have been appreciated.  But a good, easy, thoughtful read.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1RH11MT8OCC4X?ASIN=014242417X	Perfect Novel	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Ok, so when I bought this book I was skeptical, because I'm one of those people who are not emotional at all. So love novels are not really my type but I decided that since this novel was rated so greatly and I liked Looking For Alaska, I would read it. I'm glad I did. It has the perfect combination between love and actual writing, if you know what I mean.<br/>John Green is an amazing writer in my opinion and Ill be reading more of his work.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3IAMGUIC2TT2R?ASIN=014242417X	Absolutely brilliant.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I just read this entire book within the last 24 hours, and it is by far the best book I've ever read in my life. I've only cried once during a book before, and it only lasted about 30 seconds. This book made me bawl like a little girl for about an hour.<br/><br/>I have never reread a book in my entire life, but I think I'm going to have to make an exception for this one, and  I will definitely be buying his other books as soon as possible.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RXGPAFTV49VJC?ASIN=014242417X	A True Page Turner	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was great. I laughed and cried. I was imagining what it was like to be Hazel going through this journey. The love story tragic yet beautiful. I also sympathized with her parents, being a new mom, the love we feel for our children. We want so much for them, yet we want so much to protect them from the world. This book turns the pages quickly for the reader by lovingly letting you into Hazel's world of many struggles. It was amazing!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2RR4N24M8ZVKW?ASIN=014242417X	A great read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is witty, gut-wrenching, heart-warming, laugh out loud, need a box of tissues kind of a book. If you like all those things, then I recommend that you take some time out of your day to pick up this book. I'm always wary when I read great reviews, whether it be a movie or a book, but I was not disappointed. As soon as I was done with it, I went back to the beginning and started to read it all over again. It's just one of those books.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2SGFMH0CAXGMZ?ASIN=014242417X	Another win from John Green	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I loved this book.  John Green did a great job of developing the characters that at the end of the story I literally missed them.  The book is well written and reads incredibly well.  I finished the book in a day.  I've bought this many times over as a gift and they also finish it in a day.  I look forward to more books from John Green and the movie.  Not excited about the actors being brother and sister in Divergent.  This might be awkward.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3US06Q6S9NQFM?ASIN=014242417X	A Good Read with a Classic Feel	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I can see why so many have suggested this book and why so many college students have enjoyed reading it. The story is being played out on virtually every high school and college campus. Sadly we can identify with the struggle and fight that surrounds cancer whether you're young, old, the inflicted, the family, BFF, medical staff, or friends on the fringe. A good book to spark reflection on your life and the impact we make on those around us.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R39PUN828B8S16?ASIN=014242417X	Not a tragedy, if you understood it well enough.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I'm not so much into romance but this one knocked me out while I waited for Divergent's Allegiant (A true Shailene fan). The writer is invisible in this one, it's Hazel writing her story in her own words. All the characters become alive while you read this and it certainly makes me see cancer, living, dying and living while dying in a new way. Aren't we all dying someday anyway? Well Hazel and her story are not going to in my mind. Loved it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1HB8N2CXRQSO3?ASIN=014242417X	My favorite John Green book so far	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I put off reading this book because I had heard that it makes you cry. When I did read it, I cried through the entire book. John Green captured the father dealing with his daughter's cancer perfectly and it really hit me hard. The second time I read the book, I didn't cry at all. How John Green was able to write from the perspective of a teenage girl - soooo well - shows he must really get into the mind of his characters. I loved this book.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I bought this book a few months ago and just sat down to start reading it yesterday.  I literally finished reading it in 2 days.  Amazing book.  So glad i finally took the time to read it.  I cannot say I have been directly affected by anyone with cancer in my life, but my sister does have a lung disease (CF) so I felt like I could related a bit.  I would highly recommend this book to anyone.  Very inspiring and puts a lot into perspective.</span>"

It's the perfect story about cancer, and how cancer patients find love even through hard times in their life. Augustus Waters is amazing. Hazel Grace Lancaster is awesome. They're a perfect fit for each other. I would recommend this book to anyone who liked My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult. This book is kind of like it in a way, but this goes way more in depth in the romance category.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3HEBTP6AHMUW7?ASIN=014242417X	Moving and funny	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I was told to keep tissues near by and to make sure I am somewhere that laughing out loud is okay.  While I really liked this story, it is not for everyone. It could only get better if there was more told from the point of view of all three teenagers. There is great insight to the way things are for those carrying the disease and the way teens view the world. If you are looking for male point of view... Try  Drums, Girls, and Dangerous Pie.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was amazing. it not only was a beautiful love story but it showed the things you never think of when it comes to cancer and that is the patients perspective.

I was fascinated by a book that had at the time over 12,000 reviews and a 5 star average.  A book that is about teens with cancer, no less.  I hate sappy books designed to make you cry! This is not one of those, although I cried... And laughed out loud!  This book is about life, death, love, being a friend, making it matter, and contains characters so real, that I feel I knew them.  Read this!</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3PFQ7T95FE1Y1?ASIN=014242417X	A very emotional story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was an emotional roller coaster ride for me.  There were hills and valleys and even a loop or two.  I enjoyed the laugh-out-loud humor and the tear-inducing tragedy.  What kept me from loving the book was the way God was regarded in the story.  It seemed as though He was just a ""feel-good"" entity not to be taken seriously as some one to be relied upon for strength and comfort.  Beyond that, I did enjoy this book very much.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RBI6JCXEWESD0?ASIN=014242417X	I Can Feel Her Pain	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">It's a rare thing for me to come across a book where I can so vividly feel the pain of the main character.  In so many ways, I relate to Hazel's pain, even though I have only experienced a couple of deaths in my life--none related to cancer.  That's just and example of how wonderfully well written this book is that I don't have to relate to the story to relate to the feelings and be able to enjoy the book.  John Green, you've done it again.</span>"

Yes, I sat in the car wash with my kindle sobbing in a puddle of tears, yet I found the book uplifting, cleverly written and for the most part a joy to read.  It gives alot of insight into the frame of mind of those wiith a terminal illness.  It was a roller coaster ride, but I'm glad I read it and learned from it.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R20M34TUPCUEGK?ASIN=014242417X	AWESOME, AMAZING, MUST READ	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">It was an excellent book that I would hightly recommend to anyone to read!  I orginally read because my daughter wanted to, but beings how she is only 10 I wanted to read before to make sure it was an ok read!  I decided maybe it would be a little more difficult for her to read and a though not many sexual reference more than I cared for her to read at this point in time; I completely loved it and will hope that she reads it in the future!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2MXJR3E8OLF41?ASIN=014242417X	Sad, Sweet, Smart	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The characters are quirky, brilliant, fun....dealing with cancer &amp; trying to just be normal teenagers so badly,<br/>This will make you laugh, and definitely CRY....it's the reality of how devastating cancer is and that we all need to find a cure!<br/>It's a love story, a book that makes people aware of the usual struggles of been a teen and then the UNUSUAL struggles of being a teen with cancer.  Charming, touching, funny, heartbreaking.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R236ZCUYR5EKA2?ASIN=014242417X	disappointed	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I kept reading this book in the hopes that it would at some time live up to the great reviews and hype it received but to my disappointment it did not deliver.  I was interested in seeing the movie but now after reading this I have no interest in the movie.  The characters were not believable and I did not get to the point where I cared for them.  So, no tears shed here.  It was predictable.  Maybe you have to be a teen to love this book??</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1Q585G46ZI45I?ASIN=014242417X	No faults in this masterpiece.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is an emotional rollercoaster ride. There were times I was so moved I had to take a break from reading to compose myself. You know a book is amazing when you physically feel emotions as you read....when you close the last page feeling like you lived the literary experience personally. This is one of those book choices I will recommend, and re recommend, again and again. I anticipate it will take some ""time"" to recuperate from this  :)</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1MOUXDCKNUQ5S?ASIN=014242417X	Fun, young and sad	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Grab your tissues if you're settling in with this book! The Fault in Our Stars is well written, maintains a young voice and really opens you up to the special way young love and loss is endured. It's a book about kids with cancer without being the hated ""Cancer Kid"" story and I loved that. It's emotional - a little bit of a roller coaster and a nice easy YA read to boot.<br/><br/>I'll read it again - once I regain my composure :)</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3NP36JTY6NNJ0?ASIN=014242417X	Unexpected!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Brilliant is the first word I think of when I think of John Green. I don't typically read what I would consider a romantic novel. I am so glad I gave this one a chance. It captured the characters beautifully. Capturing their maturity as teenagers longing for the simple things while taking on the big things (cancer). I am not a writer. I do not know how to describe how much this book moved me. I recommended it immediately to all my friends!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RY233J97NCLPH?ASIN=014242417X	My feels...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Well i usually read like sifi or fiction or something like that. But all my friends read this book, and the movie was coming out, so i decided i might as well read it even though i probably wouldn't like a romance. I have never been more wrong. This book was  so sweet and really made you think about life. Definitely worth a try, because whether or not you like it is up to you, however,  i don't see how you couldn't love this book. Read it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3O07L80OUYKQD?ASIN=014242417X	I have never cried so much in my entire life.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is so beautiful and heartbreaking. Be warned, once you start reading you will not stop. I finished the book in about eight hours only stopping briefly for sleep. Hazel's story made me rethink how I live my life and what it means to face death. The story keeps you on the edge and slowly releases you at the end giving a great ending an  feeling  of completion if that makes sense. Keep a box of tissues nearby for the final chapters.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2CGDR4QL385A?ASIN=014242417X	great	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">loved the story, and the quality of the book was great too.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1L7G5YGWRJE5L?ASIN=014242417X	okay	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">meh. kind of boring, not super memorable. but a quick read.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R191KKM5LFU7AS?ASIN=014242417X	Tear wrenchingly beautiful	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I went to read this book, knowing the tears I would shed. Little did I know that I would be learning. Learning of the true love and endurance of life itself. The tears I shed were of happiness and sadness. Happy; the true love that they shared and risked for each other and sad; for the loss and complete destruction of the heart. Enduring the pain to the end. The universe is a truly confusing being. But we go with whatever it does anyways.</span>"
1.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R39XFE706UVELL?ASIN=014242417X	and this book broke my heart because it's every parent's worst fears. People I love have fought or are ...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I can't express how much this book touched me. I have a toddler and a baby on the way, and this book broke my  heart because it's every parent's worst fears. People I love have fought or are fighting cancer, and some have died. The Faults in Our Stars lets you feel the disease from a new perspective, not just from the point of view of the supportive friend or daughter, niece... It's beautiful and tragic, like life...and very well written.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1GSJFCGSNR7H9?ASIN=014242417X	Ok to read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Even it is aimed for young adults I think it should not be dismmised by older specially parents. It make me cry reading about pain those kids parents go through and remind you well how we take so many moments with our kids for granted. As well make you look different at young cancer patients. I don't like plot that much, hate that obssesion with ending of other book but can understanand it from Hazel view so still finished book in one go.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1NU0G6L0QBIOB?ASIN=014242417X	Overall Good Read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This was a well written and very good book. Of course it was emotional however I didn't find that I was sobbing at the end like many other people have shared. I really enjoyed the story and the emotional journey that author takes you which ranges from happy to sad to angry, all emotions that these young kids have to deal with for reasons no one should ever have to. I would recommend it to anyone as it is a quick read and hard to put down.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2YWR47PYLA88E?ASIN=014242417X	MEMORABLE story that was touching from beginning to end	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">MEMORABLE story that was touching from beginning to end. This book might break into my top 10 books.  I've been in a bookclub for 7 years and this was a huge hit with the entire bookclub.  Deep storyline, makes you laugh/cry, memorable characters, witty dialogue and philosophical lessons about relationships, family, love and legacy.  I would recommend it to anyone.  I personally don't read YA and I couldn't tell this was a YA book at all.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R12O8PE3S8SKTL?ASIN=014242417X	Different, but Excellent	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">So basically all my friends said to read the book THE FAULT IN OUR STARS.  I didn't want to because I am a sci-fi/fantasy writer. I bought the book and it took me 4 hrs to read it. John Green does a great job of portraying the characters. It made me open my eyes. It wasn't a picturesque story about a couple that delt with cancer and lived happily ever after. TFIOS was real. I praise Green for his way of words and this literary excellence.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R8PFNH6H74TBW?ASIN=014242417X	Read this book!!!!!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The book really shows the struggles cancer patients have. The two main characters are total opposites on how to deal with it. One character is optomistic and tries to make the best of things, while the other character has just given up on trying to make the situation better. There's a lot of other interesting main points in the story but I wouldn't want to give them away! I really recommend this book. To me the dialogue was the only flaw.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1LIE1263TX6Z9?ASIN=014242417X	John Green did it again !	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I'm in love with this novel it only took me a couple hours to read because I couldn't put it down. I love how it has the young romance that most YA. novels have but it's still a bit realistic. definitely recommend to those who love John Green and other YA authors you won't regret it. the only reason it didn't get 5 stars from me because it wasn't one of those books you can read over and over again and still love it's a great one time read</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RLGOQL531DP4Y?ASIN=014242417X	THE FAULT IN OUR STARS	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">What an amazing story about a girl, Hazel who had thyriod and starts going to a support which she meets a boy named Augustus Waters. The story one of the most emtional, tear wrenching, laugh out loud books i have read.It breaks your heart in a good happy way and a sad way but also lifts your spirits.No wonder this was a #1 international bestsellar, I could not put this book down, i now that i finshed it, I want more! xxo AbbeyLovesHorses</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1YVHN5FEM7AQ3?ASIN=014242417X	this book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Frankly, I just wasn't into it. I read a lot, and I know many readers cried in this book, but I didn't even come close. I would say it was just what I expected it to be. I knew what was going to happen before it happened. You know, sometimes there's just those characters in a book that you connect with, I didn't get that in this book. I love how this novel ended though. Definitely a cliff hanger and the reader gets to make up the ending.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2KQRBVLODTH4B?ASIN=014242417X	Excellent	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">One of the best books I have read in a long time.  John Green is becoming one of my favorite authors.  Dog Star was a very well written book with a very possible scenario. I delayed reading The Fault in Our Stars because it was originally marketed as a young adult book.  Mistake.  This is a super good story.  The dialogue is so realistic it just blows you away.  The story line has so much reality.  Well written.  Well edited.  Excellent.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3K0N6WDQG8U30?ASIN=014242417X	There is No Fault in Five Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I have been debating to read this book for about a year, it seems, and I am so happy I finally succumbed to the peer pressure and read it. This novel is filled with brilliance from page to page! It's not what you would expect from a book with characters who have cancer (though as any book containing illness, it did have it's tear-jerking moments...no spoilers!) All in all, I recommend this book to EVERYONE regardless of favorable genres.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R16E6OJLGEXONX?ASIN=014242417X	This book has touched my heart so much!!! It has changed my way of thinking.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I feel so different because it changed me to not judged persons on their conditions or problems or physical appearance. Loved this book because of the romance and how the writer shows me that whatever problem you have in life, the first thought should be to thank the Lord that you lived another day with that struggle and not of suicide. I also learn that their will be persons that will be there for you, no matter if the going gets tough.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2CV3FQP0DSOZ9?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was extremely raw and real. It portrayed a love that was so incredibly real and changed my perspective on the definition of love. It showed through hardship comes more hardship and that love isn't fairy tale love it hurts. And it is a guarantee that you will get hurt you have no control over that. But it also says you can choose who hurts you and also who you hurt. It is a very well written book and I honestly enjoyed it a lot.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1L7LX2LOXKXWJ?ASIN=014242417X	Grab the tissues!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">While undeniably an emotional roller coaster, The Fault in Our Stars doesn't leave you feeling bleak and wounded and ""why, oh why did I read this?!""  Weirdly, it is funny and encouraging, with-quite possibly-some of the most well written characters in literary history.  Yes, you will probably want to be alone with a box of tissues and a goodly supply of chocolate for the last 25% of the book, but worth it, dear reader.  Totally worth it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RX3YI8DK7C0XD?ASIN=014242417X	Adorably heartbreaking	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Anyone who's been on the internet long enough has heard of this book, where you follow the story of two cancer-riddled teenagers in love. It's not revolutionary, it's not groundbreaking, but it does get sad, very, very fast. This is one of those books where you walk around in a daze after reading, not sure how life can go on around you when you've had every emotion wrung out of you in such a way. Give it a read, it's definitely worth it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2V9YTCSWOGVUN?ASIN=014242417X	Very touching.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Having lost my mother, father and 29 year old sister to cancer...and, having shared those last months of their lives, the reviews I read sparked my interest.  I am glad I read this book.  It was very bittersweet.  John Green gets it.  I insisted that all of the counselors and other cancer support folks at the Center for Building Hope in Sarasota, Florida read this book.<br/>The book made me sad...very sad...but, it was a very rich read.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3CZQOJ8LJSPZD?ASIN=014242417X	One of the best books I have read in a long time	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">One of the best books I have read in a long time.  I bought it as a beach read for my grandaughter and every one read it.  There were a few tears but I enjoyed how educational it was.  Cancer has a whole new meaning to me now.  The author being  from my town and mentioning places I new well really peaked my interest.<br/>Can't wait to read another John Green book.  I bought a copy to have on my book shelf after reading the book online.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R87WWBMLE5F0L?ASIN=014242417X	Different from what I expected	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I liked this book but didn't love it.  It was OK.  I really wanted to like it because of all the buzz this is generating but it was very difficult to get into.  All that metaphorical discussion Hazel and Gus talked about got annoying.  Too much of it.  After 150 into it, I got bored and started reading something else.  I took a break &amp; finished it but for me it didn't get good until half way through.  All in all it wasn't my cup of tea.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1UUOX1Z6KA86U?ASIN=014242417X	beyond amazing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Some say this is just a teenage book. It is not. The characters deal with the blatant and true world of loving and being loved while battling a terminal disease and keeping ones dignity and sense of humor.<br/>Throughout, I wished for a miracle for an ending but the author knows too well how to capture the truth.<br/>An amazing, tear jerking read and one who I will make a point of recommending to everybody.<br/>Thank you Mr. Green :)</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R12AFFKOE0SWXN?ASIN=014242417X	read it in one sitting	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Frankly, I didn't want to like this book. I've had it for a while and it just never made it to the top of the cue.<br/>But last night I started reading it at 11:00 to help me sleep ...next thing I know, I'm reading the last page at 2:35am!<br/><br/>There was something in the literary tone and the sweetness of the characters that pulled me in and simply wouldn't let go.<br/>Not a reaction you'd expect from a grown man from USSOCOM!!!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RNEV72J3R0KAZ?ASIN=014242417X	Touching, real and makes you treasure your healthiness	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Of course I understand that sickness is terrible. But a dying disease caught by a child is just beyond one's understanding. The characters in the book all caught serious disease and it is heart-breaking to know the feelings of them. The story is fictitious. But I think it is real that these sick children do not want their life achievements are just about fighting the disease. A sad story and a reminder to treasure all the stuff you own.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3OP4L0UEP279T?ASIN=014242417X	4 bittersweet stars!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I'm torn on whether I love this book or if I'm disappointed.<br/>I feel the end of the story should not really be the end.<br/>I do love the characters, and their struggles, and their love story.<br/><br/>I need to know what happens next for our sweet girl, and if she lives to love again, or if she feels happy, or if she continues to battle her cancer for many more years...<br/><br/>I look forward to seeing this on the big screen.</span>"

Wow....to be honest I've learned so much from this book and really thought about how powerful love can be. I loved the brief ending of the book. &lt;&lt;was real interesting. Anyways, this book is definitely worth your time. It's a must read. PS. If you haven't heard there is a movie out in Theatres right now for this book. I definitely recommend seeing it.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RY7LCD93PW4T2?ASIN=014242417X	How to celebrate life on the way to death	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This writer presents a simple lesson of love, death, and the tangled emotions of all involved. There is sadness and separation, but even the worst losses are celebrated with an awareness that we don't create our own pitfalls and Ill timed troubles, but that we do make choices about how we act and react to every event in life, good, bad, ugly, or amazing. What we do and how we do it defines the size of the scar we leave when we are gone.</span>"

You will feel empathy that resolves into motivation and inspiration... and yes you will cry... but you will also smile and laugh out loud...but you will cry, not a tear, but full out bawl...<br/><br/>There were a few parts that are a little far stretched and that I could have done without but the overall story is worthy of the read. I will read this book over and over and I will smile, laugh, and cry every time!!!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1JQYXOY7ZOMF6?ASIN=014242417X	My new favorite book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I loved this book, I just couldn't put it down. I really love quotes, romantic books and to balance it out, a little humor. So if you're like me then you will most likely have great interest in this book. Honestly, the moment I finished the book I was wondering ""What is Life?"" And because of Hazel Grace Lancaster, she has taught me that life is knowing and honesty. John Green taught me that the fault is not in our stars but in ourselves</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3I3N5S1NSH74Z?ASIN=014242417X	Predictable at worst; page-turner at best	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I'd be lying if I said this wasn't a page turner. It was good. In fact, there are some lines and observations and straight up truths about the facts of life that are artfully composed. But aside from that: the diction is overstated and flowery, while the story is predictable. Nevertheless, it is worth the read for those interspersed nuggets, and characters, who while predictable and typical in some ways, made you fall in love with them.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RWX2ND4Y7HW0Q?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault In Our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I can honestly say this is the best book I have ever read. The tragic love story between Hazel and Augustus made you smile and also made you cry. I gave this book 5 out of 5 stars because it had a good message to it. It shows you that not everything in life is going to be perfect and you should cherish every moment like it's your infinity. This book opens your eyes to the painful truth about cancer but still gives you hope deep inside .</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2N77AP9WNT95Z?ASIN=014242417X	Wow	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">All I can say is just wow. I was  hesitant to read this book at first, but I am more than glad I did. This was so beautifully written and I found things I could relate to, which is something  I find important in any book. I wish I could thank John for writhing so beautifully. It's one of those books you just can  put down, literally, I'm writing this review at 3am. I would highly recommend this to anyone anywhere, always.. I mean, Okay.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RG5SD0NTSU23P?ASIN=014242417X	Well, I cried	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I knew I would cry quite a bit. I am dealing with my aunt being terminally ill so this story was simultaneously a catharsis and a heartbreak for me. I LOVED Hazel and her approach to her condition. Having lost my mother when she didn't want to die and seeing the difference in how my aunt is at peace with it, I know that Hazel's approach would be a gift to her parents. I didn't expect the ending; but I am good with it. Gave me some hope.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R26GGQH5IH37WB?ASIN=014242417X	Lovely book!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I have never been much of a reader and I often start a book only to never finish it, however this book I finished in less than 3 days. This is the book you don't want to end and I feel a sense of sadness because it is over and it slightly feels like I've lost a friend. Beautifully and poetically written. I recommend this to anyone and everyone, and that's coming from someone who has only ever finished a book because a class required it.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RO0FT4E5M6JDU?ASIN=014242417X	Grand.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is a beautiful, tragic, joyful, special book. Absolutely the best book I've read in a while. Even in its tragedy, it doesn't feel like it's for nothing. The book isn't sad. It's a great story. There are sad things, but I loved reading it. Don't be afraid of the tragedy, or that it's about cancer. I was afraid of those things at first, but this book isn't just 'a cancer book.' It gives you more than that. Definitely worth your time.</span>"

I can't believe it actually made me cry...like, a book has never done this to me before. I had to buy a paper copy because it is too great not to have it physically in my hands as I weep and leave my scar on it. I am seriously speechless...I don't know what to say.<br/><br/>Read it. Seriously. It will change everything.<br/><br/>Definitely my new favorite book. Thank you, John Green.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R9QRDCMOG8PH4?ASIN=014242417X	Great book but teenagers??	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The book was well written and the characters were great although a little unbelievably good and brave!  I found it very depressing.  The author did try to give meaning to their lives, however short.  I'm not sure it would be great for teenagers.  i would be hesitant to recommend it to one.  The Book Thief, also written for teenagers, i would not hesitate to recommend to young people. So read it first before you give it to a young person</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3Q8F3DX0RZHHF?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in Our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I am astounded by the depth of this novel. Hooked from the  very first page, I read it straight through in one sitting. At once heartbreaking and uplifting, I found myself laughing through tears, thoroughly enjoying the gamut of emotions. Cancer is an uncomfortable subject I thankfully have no personal experience with, but the humor offered by Hazel Grace and Augustus reminds me that perspective is a choice and love is always worth it.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R14S2B0TSQ5HR5?ASIN=014242417X	Utterly spectacular!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book honestly ripped my heart to shreds but I love it anyway. It's literally a book that makes you look at life a different way and understand the little nooks and crannies of the universe that wants to be noticed. It really is a mind blowing book that really connects you to the characters. I literally sobbed when I turned the page and the first thing I saw was that Augustus had died. Thank you John Green for this little infinity.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I gave it 3 stars for its ability to incite emotion and empathy and for its use of literary allusions. However as I read this book I couldn't shake the feeling I had read this before. Then I realized it wasn't this book I had read, but Sparks' A Walk to Remember. I think the lack of novelty cost this moving, celestially symbolic, star-crossed lover-esque novel the last two stars. Thoroughly enjoyed the Prufrock and Gatsby references ;)</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read through this book in less than 24 hours because I was planning to see the movie.  I didn't think it was possible for me to read a book as fast as I did without getting a little anxious.  (I think it took about six hours?  Maybe not even that many).  Let me just say that this book was so good and something I want everyone to read.  One day, I think, it will be considered a classic that kids read in class (if they aren't already).</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R39BDNHO6MX29T?ASIN=014242417X	awe inspiring	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book has an intellectual way of making you really appreciate life and allows you to conserve ideas of what you should do in a small time period as apposed to what isn't going to get done. This book is fascinatingly written and suitable for age groups who are  all ears for a story of two lovers mixed up in a devastating thing. Anyone that can comprehend this will be able to fully develop an emotion connection with this book. Bravo!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R21AHFAQHIFNY7?ASIN=014242417X	Does something few books do	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Don't read this book in public unless you're ok with shedding a tear or two in front of people. I knew it wouldn't end well for the characters, yet I still couldn't put it down. While many books leaves you wanting to know more of the characters future, this one leaves each of them in a perfect spot, with the exception of one. But without that one the book wouldn't have been one of the few that can produce a physical emotional response.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1NX02ME5CS5NC?ASIN=014242417X	Really good	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I was tempted to give it 5 stars but had to knock it down slightly - mostly because I just could not quite believe teenagers would talk and act like they did in the book.  That being said, otherwise I thought it was great.  Can't wait to see the movie. If you are like me, you are now trying to find other good books to read. I recently read Star Drops by S.R. Templar and that was really good (but not really like The Fault in Our Stars).</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3H0CDMHA2ZO3M?ASIN=014242417X	Loved it!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I'm not sure that any book has ever left me in tears. The characters are so real like. It felt almost as if I was listening to a good friend and being with her during all of this. I think my favorite part of this whole story is how you can really feel Gus's love for Hazel. At first I was worried this might be a little too ""young adult""y for me. But I was quickly sucked in and I fell in love with this as hard as Hazel fell for Augustus.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2MDGFCBXZTJS7?ASIN=014242417X	Raw, emotional truth in an amazing novel about love and loss	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Beautifully written. The characters were well developed. You could feel everything they felt. It was raw emotion. The author told a harrowing tale of living with cancer. It will make you laugh. It will make you cry. It will make you angry. But most of all - it will make you think and feel and understand. Wonderful book and I highly recommend it to every person of every age, sex, race, etc. This book will touch you and it will move you.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1ZAX831LMEYO3?ASIN=014242417X	Breathtakingly beautiful.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I have no words to describe the phenomenal plot, structure, and vocabulary that have been expressed in this book. This piece of literature can not be described as a book, but a  touching piece of art. The author brilliantly captures how cancer is pain, alive, and demanding to be felt by its victims. I cried, I smiled, I laughed, I rejoiced. I pray for any and every Hazel and Augustus out there, you have left scars on all of our hearts.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R26EJQFJF0VK8G?ASIN=014242417X	The universe wants to be noticed	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">After reading the sample of this book I knew that within it pages was a story I needed to know. All along I felt that this book would have an ending much like that of Hazels favorite book but it didn't bother me. This was one if those stories that touches you on a myriad of levels and you know-though you will never have all the answers or be completely satisfied-you will be better for having read it. So read-and notice and leave scars.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3JSU8N0MRYJYA?ASIN=014242417X	Smart humor deals with life's fateful annoyances	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">These quirky characters may be born under a dark star, but the way the author communicates their life experiences keeps it fresh and not so dark as it is believable and satisfying. The characters feel smart and cool without extroverted exclusionary behavior. They deal with life's small annoyances concurrent with the ever present 500 pound gorilla of fate using a balance of humour, annoyance, and intelligent observation that feels real.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R190FE2HH75RX7?ASIN=014242417X	Excellent story of very young adults dealing with serious illnesses	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Excellent story of very young adults dealing with serious illnesses, the friendships formed with some members of a support group, and the advisability of having a romantic involvement under these circumstances.  Also deals with the parents facing the prospect of losing their children and how they allow them a certain amount of freedom in spite of wanting to control the situation and remove all risks.  Very sad but also very inspiring.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Ok I read this over the summer but I couldn't finish it because it was so touching and romantic. I pretty much cried every time I tried to read it but I finally finished! This is a heart melting book that will blow your mind away on the wording and effects it causes! This is one of my all time favorite books. Even though it's sad and difficult to read sometimes (because I cry) it makes you feel moved by this. Excellent wording, TFIOS!</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Being a little slow to follow the popular crowd, I started this book last night with the hopes of seeing the movie at my local theater tomorrow.  Sometimes there's something to be said for going along with a book that gets rave reviews.  I loved this book.  I was instantly drawn into the characters and their lives.  I read through this very quickly with tears in my eyes for much of the book.  An excellent read - I highly recommend it!</span>"

I just went through a breakup on a relationship that lasted two years. I am only 20 but that's quite a long time when you're my age. I hope I can love like Hazel and Augustus, and I will never forget their love. Thank you John, for your soul soothing words, they touched my heart.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1BQIWMZ3AZK4I?ASIN=014242417X	Tear Jerker	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">""The Fault in Our Stars"" is a well developed story about love, life, and death. I liked how John Green helped his characters, Hazel and Gus bond over her favorite book, ""An Imperial Affliction"" by Van Houten.  I think that Green was able to demonstrate realistic characteristics and feelings of young people dealing with death.  The book had a couple of unexpected turns.<br/>It is worth the read, but have tissue nearby.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2U0O785RZJ03F?ASIN=014242417X	Rather a Let Down of a Story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Maybe because I'd guessed from the beginning how the book would end (since it was being told in first person), it ruined the ending a bit for me.  I also wondered why the story seemed to drag on for so long after the climax.  I'm old enough to have read and watched ""Love Story"" with Ryan O'Neal and Ali McGraw and just thought it was a far better story....I did cry at its end, but oddly enough, ""TFIOS"" left me dry eyed.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is absolutely amazing!Some of my friends had recommended this to me but i had no idea how great it was going to be.Hazel's character was awesome.I loved her attitude and way of speach.I also loved augustus.His flirting,attitude,and everything.I absolutely adored every character and the whole book.The romance was perfect.The book was just perfect.I'm currently reading it for the third time.I recommend this for ages 14 and up.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1C4NLEQOMM5T8?ASIN=014242417X	my god, green	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">It's just one great book after the other with John Green. I'm not one to re-read books, but with The Fault in Our Stars I could survive with only reading this for the rest of my life. I just got through round 6! Although its a love story, it is NOT cliché in the slightest. Green has a certain style that mixes love with wit and dark humor, making this the greatest read ever in my opinion. I recommend this book to everyone reading this!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3FU65W6TH4N0X?ASIN=014242417X	Heart Touching	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is life. Literally, life. This is how life is supposed to be. I'd say it is just as well as An Imperial Affliction. Since that book stops at mid-sentence. Her lover is soon a step higher than her. I suggest this book to anyone on Earth. It may be a sort of a romantic kind of book, but I still prefer it as a way of telling you about life. I guarantee, that anyone could make time to read such amazing quotes from this one book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1EPCJ5YKQE672?ASIN=014242417X	FANTASTIC!!! AMAZING!!!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I absolutely fell in love with the book. I couldn't put it down. I was up until 11:27 a.m. finishing it. Yes, I am very young, I'm eleven, yes this book was possibly not for my age, but I think that this outstanding book captures the beautiful essence of the thoughts of immortality through an intelligent teenage intellect. It felt so real, almost as if, I was right there with Hazel, quietly, sitting, watching observing the true magic.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3U8WP6BZQ8TMR?ASIN=014242417X	Best ever	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Never have I read a book that has moved me like this one has. Never have I fell in love with characters like this. I felt their fears, cried their tears and smiled at their triumphs. John Green took an ugly reality and weaved it with beautiful words and relatable characters. From coming to terms with death as a whole to finding your first love. I would read this book over and over if I could take the scars that it has left on my soul.</span>"

I'm not one to cry at anything often, this is the only book I have ever cried at. It touches me deeply. There is so much passion in John Greens writing, it's simply beautiful and magical. The metaphors always leave you to think about deeper layers to this book. It's very touching, a must read!<br/><br/>One of the best books I have ever read. MUST HAVE THIS BOOK! I cannot wait to read more of John Greens books!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R28JBBUY7CA1GK?ASIN=014242417X	An Interesting read...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I liked this book.  It reminded me in an way of ""Catcher in the Rye,"" in that the narrative was done from the prespective of a young person (a female) who had terminal cancer.  Was it a happy story?  No.  But it was an interesting topic.  How young people facing a grim and short life find their way and develop alliances and allegiences and attempt to help their families deal with the realities of a lving with terminal disease.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R30FAYI0R33IMZ?ASIN=014242417X	A beautiful masterpiece of a book!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Despite the occasional bad language, John Green perfectly pieced the story into a masterpiece. Like his other books, Green told a story that's unforgettable like the characters themselves. Although I don't have lung cancer, or am tied down to a machine all of the time, I was able to connect with Hazel in so many ways.<br/><br/>I highly recommend this book to sophisticated (and mature) teens. Get this book today! You won't regret it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RQLKU1VYF0ELV?ASIN=014242417X	It's very different from every other teen romantic comedy and that's my favorite part about it	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was one of my all time favorites. It's very different from every other teen romantic comedy and that's my favorite part about it; you can't tell wants going to happen at the end. You can relate to the characters and they show the struggles of real life. The realistic expectation of heartbreak that most teen books lack. Another part of the book I like are the characters, you can tell they were very thought out by the author.</span>"

I kept reading and reading.  Only stopping because my husband made me go to bed.  It made me laugh and cry.  It brought a real humanity to something so terrifying.  I've known people with cancer and lost their battle with it.  I know some pretty amazing people who have won their battle and still fighting it.  I really enjoyed reading it.  Thank you John Green for writing it!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3J1ZMLERGT54J?ASIN=014242417X	Lacks fulfillment	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I don't know if it was the over hype of this book, or that my expectations were too high due to raving girls I was expecting a teeny more somehow. I appreciate and respect how deep underlying morals and symbols were which seem unprecedented for teen romance. Also, the simplicity of the story supports the story's purpose and reality of those with cancer. Ignoring the teen hip, I can agree that it is a decent modestly written ""letter.""</span>"

I thoroughly enjoyed this novel, even though it is technically classified as a young adult novel. It is super easy to get into, and from the minute you start this book you will be hooked. I hesitated to read this as I thought it might be a cutesy teenage love story. I am sure glad I gave it a shot. At this price, it was a true bargain and a new classic! Try it if you are sixteen or sixty!</span>"

""they hear ,the now,""  "" living in the moment enjoying the limited time we we have in life, and making the best of it!</span>"

4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R36AGC13N3PL3E?ASIN=014242417X	A moving and well written book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I stumbled on this book by accident - the way one always stumbles, of course.  And it was - and is - a delight.  As the headline says, well written - a happy discovery always - and moving.  Surprisingly so.  Its account of the struggles of children with cancer - and its effects on their families and friends - is clear, credible, and enlarging.  I am fairly deeply affected by it.  I don't say ""was"" because the affect lingers.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R30FPBT51BS3FF?ASIN=014242417X	Wonderfully Emotional	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I would give this book 5 stars without a doubt! The triumphant but unique love story between Augustus Waters and Hazel Grace was truly compelling! I also enjoyed the magnificent family dynamics and the almost humorous tone brought about by how emotional Hazel's father was! This book kept my interest the entire time and was always hard to put down with my busy schedule! I would definitely recommend this and other books by John Green!</span>"

It's not just words  scribbled on a page; it is life. It shows you the sad yet wonderful reality of life. It shows you that not everything turns out the way you hoped and dreamed;but life will go on anyways. You will be okay. I felt so incredibly connected to this book, to these words written down. I didn't want it to end; but like all good things; it must.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R277X14PDHYFE4?ASIN=014242417X	Felt almost too personal to claim I get it	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This felt like it had to be written by someone familiar with living and/or loving someone with cancer. It was real and difficult and beautiful, but in the end I think it was too real for me to ""escape into with enjoyment"". I felt obligated to read it--to stare the ugliness in the face. And while I can't fault the book/story, it isn't a journey I'd normally choose to take.  That being said, it kept me engaged the whole story.</span>"

It haunted me for months- I almost bought it multiple times and finally a student started reading it so I did too. Damn, I cannot unread this beautifully haunting, funny, tragic story that runs on in the end. But I didn't mind. I really loved the characters so much. A new favorite. Still it broke my heart for every kid with cancer who won't get more time- viciously honest. Exactly how my students like it.</span>"

The title a minor irritant since it's present currency comes from the Murrow anti McCarthy show and even then was  misused. It's from Shakespeare's  "" Julius Caesar"" where Cassius in essence says to Antony ""Look, if we don't murder this guy we have only ourselves to blame"".

This book leaves you in tears, and has many details the movie doesn't have. John's words greatly depicts the characters, and the plot is excellent. It's a great book for any age as well. I highly recommend this book and all of John's Green's books because they bring you into his book world. Once you pick one of his books up, you can't put it down!</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read this because of all the hype surrounding the movie release and was not disappointed. Although I felt I knew what was going to happen, it still had me in tears. Augustus is incredibly thoughtful and witty, almost to the point of unbelievability, but Green constructs him in such a way that you just want to believe such a heart exists. There are so many passages of beautiful writing that I am eager to read more of Green's work.</span>"

I had a very hard time reading parts of this book because my vision was blurred by tears. I very much enjoyed the book, I took one day and just read until I finished it.

Not only did it do that, but it also put in a love story about two teenagers suffering from cancer. The Fault In Our Stars made me laugh and cry. I'm only twelve and I can't say that about many books. I recommend this book to anyone and everyone. It's a heartbreaking story you don't want to miss.</span>"

The author certainly has a deep understanding of the impact a serious disease can have on the soul of each of us.  Once you begin this book, you will not want to leave this insightful story.  I recommend the book to anyone who cares about the dignity and courage that can emerge in the lives of those who face great challenges.</span>"

It is heartbreakingly sad and it certainly isn't what I wanted to happen, but the struggles Hazel and Augustus face when trying to figure out what they believe about life and love and the world and how the general population support ""cancer"" kids seems very real to me.  Their love story is so sad that the only way I could get through it is by telling myself that it's a great fiction story.</span>"

A moving love story revolving about our modern day common cold, cancer. I don't know if adult cancer patients would feel insulted by this book due to certain insinuations about death and disease.

I am a person who hates reading and would never read a book willingly. But once I read this it changed the way I thought about books. It is such a tearjerker and it plays with your emotions. One moment you'll be laughing the next you'll be sobbing. It was such a great book and I finished it in 2 days. I LOVED IT. It'll be hard to read another book that will top this one.</span>"

I gave it a 5 out of 5 for the same reasons (plus a book has never made me cry before) and I recommend this book to my good friend Chloe Avila.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I was always hesitant to read the book, knowing generally what it was about. But the synopsis on the back doesn't do it justice at all! It's not nearly as depressing as the back cover describes. Rather, it's an uplifting, empathetic look at three normal kids just trying to enjoy being teenagers…despite the hardships they're faced with. Not sure that I want to see the movie, as I'm pretty sure that it won't be as good as the book!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R66TZG8FCKAY4?ASIN=014242417X	Expected more	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">After reading other reviews, I thought this book would capture my imagination. I thought I would not be able to put it down. it was not that good. it is a teenager novel - love story. I did however like the unexpected turn in the novel. maybe it was the slang that wasn't so great...then again, maybe teenagers do speak that way, but surely not all over the world. I will not discourage you to read it, maybe just go watch the movie!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RJ5FTI2BV7SNJ?ASIN=014242417X	Less engaging than I'd hoped for the not-so-young-anymore-adult	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I understand how this could be a frenzy in the teen and young adult world (clearly at 27 that no longer applies...?) but this melancholic, yet sardonic weep-fest did not hit home for me. Though I enjoyed the use of great poetry throughout (William Carlos Williams for the win with The Red Wheelbarrow) and it seemed like a very accurate portrayal of the emotions and the day-to-day life experience that co-exist with terminal cancer.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R120P90NVYMZN?ASIN=014242417X	Best book I've read all year	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I wasn't really sure I wanted to read this book in the beginning but with the amazing reviews I decided to give it a shot and I'm glad I did this book was amazing and sucked you in once you started it. I felt like I was there along the way with the characters and it brought so many emotions out of me. It was an outstanding book and I'm glad I read this book. Can't wait to watch the movie and see the story in love turn to reality.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1C0EASLJBL59V?ASIN=014242417X	Absolutely stunning	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Damn you John Green, for you turned me into an inconsolable weeping ball of emotion at the conclusion of this piece of art.  I want to clarify that the reason I cried was not just because Augustus died; it was the way in which he died.  This novel illuminated the truth behind death, whereas so many other novels have glamorized it.  No matter the circumstances behind ones death, it is always cruel, and never fails to leave a scar.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3VIQTPX7FAJW1?ASIN=014242417X	Wonderful!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I dont  read a lot of YA stuff. My daughter-who's 12-bought this book. I read it first because of the content and found it to be wonderful. I was crying at the end and could not put it down. Some people find the characters hard to believe because they seem so much older than they are, but cancer will age you. That said I let my daughter read the book and it became one of her favorites. I just hope the movie isn't a huge let down.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RDVOMGKSINSBJ?ASIN=014242417X	Perfect	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I recommend this to really all of mankind who can read. This book is so flawless and real. This might be on of the few books I would read over and over. And I'm a HUGE picky book reader. But anything John Green writes is pure gold. I'm looking forward to the movie this summer! But DEFINITELY read the book first. You won't regret it. Well, you might at first from all the heavy issues that occur, but it's a hundred percent with it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3N57MZ1GRRTXB?ASIN=014242417X	Wonderfully emotional	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I wanted to read this book before watching the film, but was a little hesitant as it came across as a novel aimed to the teenage readers, I was wrong. As an adult with children of my own, I absolutely loved this book, it is light and funny in areas, whilst other areas bring up so much emotion. I cried and cried, and then went and hugged my kids hopeful nothing will ever happen to them.<br/>I hope the movie does the book justice.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1YHB7R490UIU1?ASIN=014242417X	Beautiful and tragic	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars follows the lives and the love built between two young (way too young) cancer patients.  the relationship that they have in just a few short months is that which many hope for and can not attain after many years.  this book makes you thankful for life and thankful for love and does not allow you to feel cheesy for feeling so. I highly recommend this book and I am eager to see what note Mr Green has written.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RSPPHIYDL94UY?ASIN=014242417X	Mediocre, Mostly Unrealistic	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I am pretty sure no teenager talks with such maturity as Hazle. i understand sh had to grow up faster than other teen but i have never seen an adult talk like that either. if these two characters didnt always try to one up eachother with poetty it would stiill be a good book. maybe even better. not impressed with spoilers augusts death to expected and couldve been seen at th biggining of the book. not the best book ive evef read.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1BJ5VLPWBR9BY?ASIN=014242417X	my heart was torn apart :(	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">First off AMAZING book. It touched on very relevant topics and didn't use cliches or anything cheesy. The characters are perfect and very relatable I could totally relate to Hazel. I love her attitude. Now warning the book might be awesome but it will rip your heart out in the end. I never cry during books but this time I did.  I just couldn't believe what happened. Overall great book just be prepared for your heart to be broken!</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R20QKR8NXNBXC4?ASIN=014242417X	READ IT!!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is a really, really sweet story. You had better keep a box of tissues around because it is a real tear-jerker, but the story is excellent. The author is very creative, even creating another story within the story, I would recommend this to anyone. This is the best coming-of-age story I have read and it really makes you think about how good some of us really have it, and it definitely makes you appreciate life more! Read it!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RGL5VZZRC39BS?ASIN=014242417X	Heart Warming	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is an amazing book, a story of young love even while going thru a difficult journey with cancer. It  was like living my own journey as husband and wife facing cancer. At times it was difficult to read but it also brought back many fond memories. I would recommend all young people read this book, so they realize how important each day is and especially to have a good friend or even better to be a good friend to someone else.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R18Y768E0KXYQQ?ASIN=014242417X	The fault in our stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is about a young lady, hazel, who is suffering from cancer. She meets this boy Gus while she is in support group where her mother makes her go. And as the book progress there love and passion grows stronger so if you are having doubts about getting it get it. Now I'm not much of a reader but this book opened up my mind and heart to this book. I love when they have sex too it's so expected but unexpected on what happens</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R19WOFP148TKVC?ASIN=014242417X	I have no words.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book couldn't have come into my life at a better time, though I think I could reread it at any moment and it would still be just as pertinent. It's beautifully written, but just as much, it's not. It's real and honest and I feel about this book the way that Hazel feels about AIA. You don't have to have cancer or know someone having it to appreciate this book or its characters. It will resonate with anything capable of love.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3PGQJP1WUCMOG?ASIN=014242417X	Kept me reading	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I love a book that reads easily, but tackles tough subjects.  this one does a beautiful job with the thoughts and feelings of not only the cancer patients, but those taking care of them, namely, the parents.  how I could relate to what they were trying to do!  I couldn't put it down, and would recommend it to parents and caregivers and teens.  how we take so much for granted, read this to realize how really great life really is!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3I7IZN8IUIH1E?ASIN=014242417X	Perfect Review	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This story is amazing, heroic, and heartwarming. Tears overwhelmed me emotionally, knowing this book means something more than those adventure books. This book shows expression of true love, poetry like you never experienced. It is quiet unbelievable. John green did a wonderful job creating this magnificent masterpiece. Remember: you don't have a say in life of how you hurt but you do have a say in who hurts you.  -Asia Roderick</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RP1O9SBY6HGL?ASIN=014242417X	Love, hope, disappointment, and reality	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">my friends had recommended this book to me. I never knew how deeply I would feel about it. It touches your heart and makes you feel things that you'd think you'd never feel from a book. I cried like a baby at various moments which I've never done while reading a book. The writing is exquisite. It shows reality of teens going through hard things and what love can do for you and how it makes you feel. I'm so glad I read this book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R27MCI8GWN6U2R?ASIN=014242417X	A beautifully written tragedy	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I decided to read this book and see what the hype was all about. It was very worthwhile.  John Green does a fantastic job developing the characters and making the reader care about them a great bit.  It is a story about love, tragedy, cancer, life and death, all rolled into one fantastic page turner.  I'm not surprised they are making a movie based on this book.  Looking forward to seeing it how this plays out on the big screen.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1G35HNAG3PVO7?ASIN=014242417X	Wow	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I'd heard from many of my friends that this was a great and sad book, which was immediately a deterrent because I didn't want to read a stereotypical sad lovey dovey cancer book.<br/><br/>And this is not one of those books. This is the kind of book that makes you think and really appreciate life a little more. It never stopped being entertaining, and although it is sad, it's hopeful, beautiful, and will maybe change your life.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R33OU37PDM938P?ASIN=014242417X	"""The Ugly Cry"""	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">So, I almost never post reviews here but this book should have come with a warning. Everything you read in the other reviews is true - this is a beautiful love story. HOWEVER, it was so sad My husband said that I was doing what Oprah terms the ugly cry - when I was just describing the plot to him after I read it. While I was reading it it was a sobbing, can't breathe, wiping my nose on my shirt experience. Read at your own risk!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2PNF3MA5MPVS3?ASIN=014242417X	This is a good book, easy to read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is a good book, easy to read. It is, however,  not a great book.<br/>The plot takes a few logical jumps that seem not to belong.  There is something a bit artificial about the relationship<br/>of the two teenagers, that just doesn't seem to click. I had a hard time believe in their relationship, although their cancer felt more real, and painful, and ugly as it should be.<br/> The ending  is unexpected and extremely sad.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3PIWLWLGS1GYI?ASIN=014242417X	You will cry, and you won't be able to put this book down.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Oh John Green... You made me cry, you made me laugh, and then you made me cry a dozen more times. This is a fantastic book!!<br/><br/>I am rubbish at writing book reviews, and there are tons of other places to read them so I will spare you that, but this is a very touching and wonderful read, and I highly recommend it.<br/><br/>Remember you can find more awesome things from John Green on Youtube, as well as his other books!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/ROZTD5VM1AVHF?ASIN=014242417X	This book is amazing!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I gave this book 5 stars because it makes you count your virtues and think about how many other people are going through a harder struggle that you will probably never face. (you being myself) and this tragic love story has probably been repeated over and over again in real life. This is one story of many stories..<br/>.one of the few that are known and I thank John Green for sharing this love story with us. I loved this book.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2TGE7R17747UC?ASIN=014242417X	Marvelous book!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I loved this book. I didn't think I would because I knew the content and thought it would be for young adults. Boy, was I wrong! I loved the way that Hazel and Gus interacted with each other. The book is so well written that I flew through it. I must admit that I cried quite a few tears into my pillow but there were laughs, also. Don't be afraid to read it because it's about teenagers with cancer. It's a totally beautiful read.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3EU8UVVB0VEGG?ASIN=014242417X	Inspirational	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is so far the best book I ever read. I am 12. And I don't read an awful lot for my age. I have been inspired by this love story very much. I have felt that feeling supposedly hazel had when Gus died. My very beloved ballet teacher died of cancer. She taught me the true meaning of dance. I admired that. The last page of this book quotes ""I do Augustus, I do."" This part made me collapse. May all books ooze that feeling.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RIZOKHX9INOY3?ASIN=014242417X	wonderful!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I saw the film before I read the book. I loved the film and thought I would check out the book and I am so glad I did. The relationship portrayed between Hazel and Augustus was beautiful. Not to mention how insightful Hazel was and so brutally honest. I fell in love with all the characters in this book. I was moved to tears! Cannot wait to get my hands on another John Green book if he brings this feeling with all of his pieces.</span>"

I loved how The author stuck with the emotions of the teen characters. I honestly didn't think I could read past Chapter 16 I was crying so hard but after an hour, I was able to sob through to the end. My granddaughter had read this book and wanted to see the movie but totally refused to go with me!! She said I would embarrass her with my crying!! LOL!!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3361FS1RLTD5O?ASIN=014242417X	Great YA Book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is a great read!  I read this because many of my students were reading it and I knew they were making a movie about it. I liked that it was heart-felt without being sappy.  As an adult and a mother, I found the relationship that Hazel had with her parents the most interesting/heartfelt part.  I kind of wish that he would write a book from their point of view.  The relationship she had with Augustus was endearing and sweet.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1189KU69GF63V?ASIN=014242417X	Sad but Good	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This sat on my dresser for a long time. The idea of reading about teenagers falling love, while battling cancer? Just. Too. Real. However, when I saw a trailer for the movie I decided I needed to read it. I am SO glad that I did. This is an incredible book. It gave me hope. I am so glad that Gus + Hazel found each other and gave each other their forevers' in  numbered days.<br/><br/>I saw the movie and it did the book justice.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RKGGSKDDTK7K3?ASIN=014242417X	A wonderful book to read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I saw the movie first and thought it was just wonderful.  Next day I downloaded the book and read it nonstop.  It was as good as the movie with a few changes ofcourse, since not everything in a book can be put in a movie.  It's a book that makes you realize that no matter how bad your day is going, it's better than what these young people and their families are going thru.  I would recommend it both men and woman as a great rad</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R34V728TAIARM3?ASIN=014242417X	a page turner and an emotional roller coaster	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Let me just start by saying that after putting off reading this book for months, I completed it within 3 hours of starting.  It is well worth the time.  While reading this book you will become entrapped in the world that the author has created.  It is a world full of simple humor and beautiful romance, that also depicts the deepest of love side by side with great sadness.  You will not regret reading this book.  I know I don't.</span>"

The book is easy to read, I could have finished it in one sitting if I liked (a page-turner, I believe, is the term). But I didn't, because I didn't want it to end so soon.<br/><br/>I picked this book because I got curious with its many good reviews. It is worth it!<br/>Tho</span>"

Reminds you that every one needs someone. The kids are heartwarming and funny. The adults are typical and caring. I was reading this on the bus commute to work and made a fool of myself because I could not stop crying.<br/>I wanted to re-read it a second time to make sure that there wasn't some subtle point that I missed.<br/>This will remain one of my favorite books for along time.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I've heard things about this book, and when I was told that I would cry, I scoffed at the very idea. I don't cry. I read this book, and cried like I haven't cried since reading ""The Giver"" by Lois Lowry. I encourage anyone who is thinking of reading this book to do so with an open mind and heart. It will make it less painful as it tears open the gates to your thoughts, and causes the dam of your heart to crumble like pie crust.</span>"

It was such a beautiful story, heart wrenching it made me cry. I was hesitant to start reading it because of what the book was about. I recently lost two people in my life to cancer. There were times that couldn't keep reading, I just needed to stop cry and then go back to reading after. I'm really happy I did read it though, the characters captivated me, their story made me appreciate my life more :)</span>"

This book May star a little slower than some, but if you can't appreciate it, then get over yourself! It is so good! It finishes I strong! I don't leave comments on ever book I read, that would cost me a book or two a month at least, but this book deserves two comments!! Awesome writing! Real feelings! I was the characters!

Whilst this is most definitely teen fiction and the language and tone support that, I found this such an incredibly moving story that I bough a physical copy to loan to others. It may not be ""perfect"" but it really is more than I had anticipated and something I wont hesitate encouraging other to read.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R37BTCAOFMUOOT?ASIN=014242417X	just okay	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was fine. I purchased it on my kindle and added the audible edition for a few bucks. I hated the narration on the audible book. The narrator didn't do a very good job being consistent with the Dutch/English accent for Lidewij Vliegenthart and I found my mind drifting away from her narration while listening. Do not bother with the audible version.<br/>And like I said the overall review for the book- just an okay book.</span>"

If I had to place this book I'd put it in 2nd since The Boxcar Children is my favorite book...☺️ even though the hot guy died it was still touching since he was still metaphorically living through his notes/e-mails/letters.

It captivates the read attention through out the whole book. Never losing site of the main subject. Well written and easy to read. The story was short which maybe why it made for a good movie. (I have not watched the movie) the only criticism that I have for it is,... towards the ending it seemed the author may have been ""searching"" for a proper way to end the story.</span>"

We always wonder what tragedy that we will encounter in our own lives. This book shows what tragedy really is. This book will change your views on life and make you cry and laugh and cry even more. After  reading this book you will realize that,"" it is better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all.""- ALT and you will find that the fault isn't in our stars but in ourselves.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RGNIENRAWBBRO?ASIN=014242417X	Loved It	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">At first I thought The Fault in Our Stars seemed like it was going to be a depressing book. I don't generally like reading books that have cancer and sickness as their story line (not giving anything away because you know this from the first page) but I found this book to be up lifting and hopeful. It is a very fast read and I am looking forward to the movie although movies rarely hold a candle to the books they are made from.</span>"

It is, after all, a book about kids with cancer- but Hazel &amp; Augustus (&amp; Isaac) are really wonderful characters, which is why the book affects so many people the way it does.<br/><br/>It's a credit to John Green's writing that this book is as strong as it is.  He gives his characters dignity &amp; hope in a hopeless situation.</span>"

A quick read for older adults, but sometimes I like to see what my daughter is reading - she really enjoyed this book and I completely understand.

Really great book for teens, or their parents.<br/><br/>I also really enjoyed how some tough topics were handled</span>"

This page turning book is really incomprehensible. It makes you cry, wonder, and think so much at the end you want to read so much more. To me I rate this book 100 percent, as in 5 star rating. I HIGHLY recommend to read this book. READ IT and you will always remember to enjoy yourself and your life as it goes on. This is a never forgetting book TRUST ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</span>"

I kind of figured the book our all along, but that didn't takeaway from the importance of the story.  I enjoyed it, and I'm looking forward to the movie.  But the book makes such a big deal about how gorgeous Augustus is and the actor playing him in the movie ....is not!  So maybe I won't see it after all!!  It is a well written, well thought out book with strong characters all the way through.</span>"

I was instantly involved and could not put this book down! My daughter has made me a life long fan and Mr. Green has given us some new common ground. Parents read this with your teens.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The saddest book I have ever read though written in the most beautifull language...<br/><br/>At the middle I really hated the author for all the pain you suffer together with Augustus and Hazel, though it is thruth of life and cancer is not a disease where a lot of miracles happen, most of the times there is no hope, but the most important thing is to keep your humour for your little infinity.<br/><br/>Thanks, John Green!</span>"

It is as tragic as all hell, evokes terrible fits of laughter (avoid on crowded mass transit) and at it's heart is a story that readers of all ages can appreciate.  You genuinely feel for the characters,their pain is your own.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1IJ7LWEAHG2FX?ASIN=014242417X	Love!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is very deep and insightful. It examines love and life in a very hopeful way. It shows that a short life can be a magnificent one and that love is very strong and life changing. It really captures you, and I just don't even know what to say about it,it's so amazing. It definitely changed the way I look at life and taught me I should cherish every moment that I have. Thank you, John Green, for such an amazing novel!!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1TCB7KLEML1KG?ASIN=014242417X	the fault in our stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I thought this book was amazing. I cried for at least an hour if not more. It's so sad and happy and good and bad and perfect and words just can't explain how I feel about this book. I'm 10 and I was fine reading it so I would say it's for pre-teens and teens primarily, but maybe 10+. I thought it was spontaneous and I'm reading it again. I hope you read it. Your life will be at least a million times better after you read it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2AO755YNBS2LU?ASIN=014242417X	So many tears!!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Books usually don't make me sob (the last time was when I read The Last Song. Nicholas Sparks always gets me). This was an absolutely wonderful story of two teenagers trying to get from one day to the next and in the midst of it, they find love. These two teens are witty and lovable. I can't explain how hard I cried at the end of this novel. I can honestly say it did not end how I expected it to. No spoilers here; GO READ IT!</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R39Q8P427F920W?ASIN=014242417X	Heart achingly hilarious	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I expected this book to be overwhelmingly depressing but from the first page I was laughing at the cynical wit of the insightful protagonists. John Green created likeable, three dimensional characters who did not glamorize the act of suffering. Thoughtful and thought provoking, the story traced the story of a strong relationship facing devastating circumstances. Written with grace and humor the book far exceeded expectations.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R154JUBITYKKZT?ASIN=014242417X	A time to really think	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was incredibly moving. I could not read it without thinking what had gone through the minds of those that I had lost to cancer and what was most important to them going through this hideous journey! I could not seem to take a break from this book. I had to always know what was coming next and when. I hope that everyone that is going through this tragic disease has a chance to have that special someone in their life.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RLZPQQAUKV4SD?ASIN=014242417X	Sweet but predictable	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Much like the sick-person-love-stories before it, there is a predictable ""twist"" 2/3 of the way through.  That's not without saying that it was very sweet, but I had to remind myself these were 16 and 17-year old kids.  Surely, disease matures a person, but these characters were a little far-fetched (at best.)  I still enjoyed reading it and devoured it in 3 sittings.  Worth a read for sure, but don't expect too much.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">as i sit here, tapping into my kindle, eyes still wet with tears, all i can do is laugh at myself, because i want to read an imperial affliction, i want to know what happened to hazel grace, her parents... but i know that i wont find out (not because john green is a bumbling drunk...) because thats the point. great book, even better one the second and third (and infinite) time around. cant wait to read mr greens other titles.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2KP11I38GEA36?ASIN=014242417X	well written and believable	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">In The Fault in Our Stars Green tells the truth about a difficult subject. His characters are very much alive managing as best they can despite the myriad difficulties inherent in daily living. The love story contained in these pages is sweet and substantive and beautifully portrayed. The story is poignant and feels very real, telling the complicated truth about being an adolescent - and parenting one - with terminal cancer.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RRGQUQA1SEJOK?ASIN=014242417X	Incredible	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I wasn't so sure that the hype of this book was legitimate, until I actually took the time out to read it. I have never suffered with knowing someone with cancer, but I know those close to me that have. I could never imagine having to love as strongly as Gus and Hazel had only to lose each other in the end. User of assumed one of them would go in the end, but nevertheless, I tried  to not cry. Amazing story of love an  loss.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2C2T55R8WQ552?ASIN=014242417X	Great Read! Love, Love, Love!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read this book in a few days, because I fell in love with it within the first two chapters. I knew it wasn't going to be  such a happy ending, but didn't know how it would actually end, since I've been holding off on watching anything that has to do with the movie. I laughed so much at how adorable the characters were and I cried like a baby through the end. I recommend this to everyone! The Fault in Our Stars all around!!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1Q1O1JP781A5L?ASIN=014242417X	A raw and consuming blend of tragedy and sweetness- a must read.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book truly touched me, especially as a survivor of a loved one too soon taken from illness. This is a very real account of the affliction of cancer, which the author beautifully injects with a love story. You will quickly fall in love with Hazel and Gus and their inspiring relationship. Together they find forever in a world filled with tragic ends. A delicious delivery of ache, hope and inspiration - I highly recommend.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3PYUDJK7DFTAN?ASIN=014242417X	Okay? Okay.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book has everything. It makes you laugh, cry, smile, ponder, and cry a little bit more. It teaches you lessons without you even really realizing it. You become mesmerized by Augustus and his charm, and John Green basically hit a home run with this book. I keep rereading and rereading, liking it better with every flip of a page, indulging in the perfect organization of perfect words, forming the perfect book. Okay? Okay.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2O9T5AS95SB0A?ASIN=014242417X	You need tissues	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Painful and poignant. This book makes me glad I wasn't there in the last weeks before my dad died. I couldn't have handled everything with the grace and poise of Hazel. John Green writes so intelligently beautifully that it makes me want to bask in his words all while hating the subject matter so much I have to resist the urge to stop reading. This book is, without a doubt, refreshingly paradoxical in both prose and content.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R30DQ0WFPR73P8?ASIN=014242417X	One ofThe best books in the entire universe	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I fist got this book mainly because I want to see the movie when it comes out and it is required to read the book first. I also got it because everyone I know that has read this book in love with it, so I gave it a try. I was blown away by the amazingness of it. I fell in love and read it late into the night(later then I care to admit) and finished it in one night. This book is awesome. Anyone who says different is an idiot.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RCXZBG0LAPZQK?ASIN=014242417X	Wow	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is so amazingly written...I'm seriously afraid of writing a review that makes me look like an idiot =/ anyway a completely new look on life, there was love which I loved, there was death where I cried like the biggest baby(EVER), and their was actual thought put into it. Most fiction books I read it's just an author's boring spinoff of some other spin offo  of some fantasy...but this was real . It was just really great.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3GAGQ990V0LL1?ASIN=014242417X	The faultless book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Honestly, I love books like this. The fear of dying, the romance and the construction of the characters to the last little bit. I was getting teary eyed at the end as I felt it was so real. I would love to have a relationship as that of Augustus and Hazel. This book does have some content for the more matured audience, but I definitely recommend it. I love this Book and it made me want to do something about cancer and dying.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R35G0UJBKHAP4R?ASIN=014242417X	A soul crushing beauty!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The book deserves a award! Beautifully written! I can't wait for the movie... but I have a question for Mr.John Green: Why do you and other authors have to make such a great books that make our hearts explode into a million pieces and then for you to scatter them across the universe and into the universe that Augustus used to live in!?!? Anyway I thought the book was amazing! Thank you Mr. John Green for writing this book!:)</span>"

I loved this book. Being able to understand and feel every emotion. John green is on of the best writers alive. The best dead authors are c.s Lewis and j.r.r Tolkien. Being able to write is a talent. Not everybody has it. John green does. I promise you that this book with arouse some question and mystery as it did me. Thank you John green.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RN5NNQW2LG9KG?ASIN=014242417X	An Amazing Book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is amazing, and it can give you a point of view from someone who has cancer. This book is the relationship between two cancer patients. This is for sure an award-winning book. I chose this rating because it has the right balance between happiness and sadness. I recommend this book to anyone who likes drama or romance books. Thank you for taking the time read this review and I hope you download and enjoy this book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RO7G7A626CI0D?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in Our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I feel like I must be one of the only people in the world not affected by this book. While I am a fan of John Green and his writing in general, I am not a fan of the preternaturally wise teen as a plot device. It just doesn't ring true for me or provoke the emotional response the author is going for. I will admit, however, that it may be because this is a YA novel and I'm a grizzled veteran nurse who has seen too much, lol.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1QPDNBLNIODH7?ASIN=014242417X	Good but slow start.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">As I don't have much time to read, this took me a really long time to get through. With all of the hype I was expecting to not be able to put it down. I honestly didn't get to that point until the last few chapters. The beginning of the book to me was uninteresting and just dragged on. I felt a need to finish this book because of all of the good reviews. All in all, it was a fabulous story but could have done without a lot.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3IIWOKT84CE4Y?ASIN=014242417X	Awesome but Heart breaking	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I loved/love the book, I have some emotional problems and I am very sensitive. But this book....made me cry. My friend told me not to read it, but I did. I kinda regret it, and even tho I know their fictional characters it still completely broke my hart when ___ died. Don't want to give it away to anyone who reads my review. I hate it when I spoil a book for someone. But if I could I would give it more that a 5 star rating.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RV13W6L9TIULH?ASIN=014242417X	Great read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">While so many people don't understand how much cancer affects people this opens eyes with a person with 3 dead grandparents caused by cancer, this book reaches out to me.  While so many people regard this as a sad romantic love story, I consider it a insight into the world of cancer.  To me this wasn't a love story it was a true insight to the hopelessness of cancer, with a bit of story love on the side.  While this book is</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RJ7FRBXLFK2D5?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault In Our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is easily the greatest novel I've ever had the pleasure of reading. I quickly fell in love with Augustus and Hazel, and I think they'll always hold a place in my heart. The love between the two of them, though short-lived, exists in a realm that I can never even begin to fathom. This novel moved me to tears and shattered my perspective of love, survival, and life as a whole. I don't believe I'll ever be the same again.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1HVAJR2YGOVDL?ASIN=014242417X	Wish I would've read sooner	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I've had this book on my Amazon wishlist for about a year now. I was putting it off because I didn't want to be sad. This book truly seems written by a teenage girl with cancer. I am a cancer survivor and didn't find it to be unbearable sad, though the book did have its moments. I loved Augustus and his attitude and personality.Hazel, the main character was incredibly real and lovable. Would recommend this book for any age.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R29024W0N8R8E6?ASIN=014242417X	Fabulous	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I loved this book. I could relate to it in many ways watching my dad die of cancer. Great read for anyone who's lost someone to cancer, knows someone with cancer, or anyone who wants to learn the true meaning of love and loss. It shows the twisted humor we use to manage, and the complete unfairness of the big C. The live story is poignant and touching, a guaranteed tear-jerked. I loved it and hope the movie does it justice.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1Q6EX3WE8L6RW?ASIN=014242417X	I'm taken. If this was true... OMG	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">If God could let us be more oversighted. Looking over consolidations and life. It would be a hell of a life. I haven't gone through a stage of love. Or cancer. But books. Make you a part of the story. A reader is million people before they die. This book is a potential element of not being greedy and just be grateful for what you have, while it's still running th race. John Green is an amazing Author and a hell of a person.</span>"

This book made me speechless and I have never said to myself I want to read it again, simple because of all the joy it brought and I want to relive that joy, simply because i can... This book makes certain moments i would find boring in real life entertaining and has truely helped me change my perspective on life. Do yourself a favor and buy this book!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3VZ4I4UEWJ7FT?ASIN=014242417X	Beautiful and profound	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I found this book on a list of top books that will shake you to your core. At first I wasn't sure I'd like this book as it's written in the view of a seemingly melancholy and snarky teen girl but it was well worth every moment I spent reading. This story provokes you to question your own life and purpose. A tear jerker that everyone can relate to and benefit greatly from reading. I look forward to reading more of his books!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R17Z1PRHLGFAGK?ASIN=014242417X	Laughter to tears and back again.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I'd been hearing about this treasure for a while, and I was grateful to finally get a chance to share this gift.  Mr. Green certainly gets teens, and he gets the struggle anyone with a terminal illness must face.  If I could change anything about the book (and I shouldn't--it was perfect), I would end in the middle of a sentence like the book within the book did.  That would truly bring this gem full circle.  Terrific book.</span>"

In all honesty it was not as good as I thought it would be.😑😕😮😋</span>"

After watching the movie I was excited to read the book. I was very disappointed by the book. I did not feel a strong connection to the characters and felt it lacked intimacy. Although I learned more about the characters themselves, the interaction between the characters was lacking. I didn't bond with the characters the way I usually do, when reading a good book.</span>"

I as many may know that cancer is a evil villain waiting to pray on the innocent Hero's of our society. This book may only be fictional but it has allowed 'the sun to have risen'. I loved this book and highly recommend it to anyone who would love adventure, true love, and an amazing story about the  true sacrifices' for those who mean the most to them in this world :)</span>"

I read this one four times in the first two months I owned it.  In fact, I re-read it immediately upon finishing it the first time.  I'm sure the reader of these reviews knows the storyline from other reviews and the motion picture by the same name so I'll not elaborate on the characters or the plot.  It's extremely witty and relevant.  Highly recommended.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R26U2DGLI45227?ASIN=014242417X	Remarkably written	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">While the ending was predictable (though no less heartbreaking) I felt the characters were a wonderful blend of wit, intelligence, and sarcasm.  It reminded me of Dawson's Creek type overactive and unexpected teenage intelligence. However, it works in order to bring a perspective on life and death that is refreshing. Love is eternal and heroism should never be forgotten. Thank you for the reminder. Quite a beautiful story.</span>"

The entire time I was reading, I just kept thinking ""Dawsons Creek"".  That show always bothered me because I didn't know one single high school kids who spoke like they did on that show.  This book was very similar.  It's not even close to real.  The emotion behind it is.  The story is good.  The execution is poor.  All in all, I was somewhat disappointed.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1JWQDMEGGL7GR?ASIN=014242417X	A very moving novel	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I really enjoyed the book. It grabbed you quickly and held you. It was recommended to me by a friends teenage daughter. I was a little skeptical about a teen lit book but was very pleasantly surprised.  The novel is about the ""normal"" life of a young lady with cancer. It is probably not possible to have a normal life as most of us would imagine it, but her thoughts and fears and love for others was just like anyone else's.</span>"

I recall having to explain to the children that there beloved grandfather was going to heaven. And this book has tugged on my heartstrings and made me feel every emotion once more. I said all that to say this, they may be gone and they will never come back, but while they were here they made feel like something more than a grain of sand on the beach of humanity.</span>"

I couldn't put it down. I would recommend this book to whoever is looking for a great book to read. the only problem is I would like to know what happens with Isaac and hazel. what happened with their lives and hazel illness. and what about Augustus's family? other than that it was a great read and a wonderful story.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1LDMQ1S71SR7W?ASIN=014242417X	I love this book!!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is truly amazing. It is about a girl with cancer who goes and spends time with a bunch of other kids with cancer where she meets her new friend, Augustus. This book is well written and thought out. I love the way the characters interact with each other and everything seems very real. However, this book does have a very sad ending. Ever after you are done reading it, this book will leave you feeling haunted by it.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R37M6ZVGE3GUDT?ASIN=014242417X	Flawless	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I have read this novel I think a dozen times, and yet it is still completely heartwrenching. this should not continue to reduced to a frankly terrifying level of ugly sobbing, but it does. this novel unlike so many others does not patronize young readers by talking down to them nor does it try to make everything shiny and beautiful. though fiction it rings true and there is some thing so inexplicably beautiful about that.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RRSCXCXY64DT6?ASIN=014242417X	Wow better than okay	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is an amazing thought provoking book. I (being a teen myself) understand the feelings Augustus and Hazel have towards the world. Sure I'm not suffering of cancer nor have I ever but this book definitely gets me. Usually I read books like the hunger games, divergent, and hitch hikers guide to the galaxy so going into this I knew I would be making an exception to my usual reads and let me tell you I'm not disappointed.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Was not familiar with this book, but when the ads started running on t.v.  for the movie, I did my homework about the book, the author, and his other works.  I didn't realize the book had created such a devoted following among teens.  Well, now it has a devoted fan of 70 who is seeing the movie in 12 hours and downloading another book by John Green.  The book is great fun, very sad, and one hell of a journey  -  read it!!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2QTDREALWGTF9?ASIN=014242417X	Life changing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was very heart wrenching. It showed what true love is and also what it looks like. I would say it teaches you to love unconditionally and to not take anything for granted. Cancer is a horrible horrible thing and this book really gets to the heart- I would recommend it to anyone who would want to read a quality, very well written love story of two kids and their will to live their life to the fullest with cancer.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R14R3YK9HY3SDA?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">loved the intelligence behind this book. a tragic, but beautiful story that resembled Romeo and Juliet. two star crossed lovers that were meant to be together, but are faced with such tragic, unlucky outcomes. two beautiful, optimistic characters that were dealt an unlucky hand, but didn't look at it as unlucky. they looked at it as a gift. a gift to find each other and make there last month's of their lives worth living.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2AL4MFCM4AWVJ?ASIN=014242417X	Over-rated	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I must admit that I was very excited to read this book, I had heard lots of good things about it and it is currently the bestselling book on Amazon. I got about a third of the way through it and wondered whether or not I should continue. The characters seemed to me like cardboard cutouts, and their vocabulary was too advanced for 16 and 17 year olds- Augustus sounded like a robot to me when he talked, like some 18th century professor- it became so annoying that I did not even finish the book. I am ashamed to admit that I did not finish it, but I could not help it. I thought it was sorta similar to Twilight with its cliché love story and anticlimactic ending and I think it is grossly over-rated.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1CTZBJMX7EMY?ASIN=014242417X	I bought this for my 13 year-old for a book report.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I felt terrible after doing so... While I don't want to shelter my children, it wasn't a good choice for an 8th grade book report. He kept referring to it as his ""everybody's dying"" book. Additionally there is an ""implied"" sex scene. I read it along with him and told my husband, ""So the depressing book I bought him also has a sex scene in it."" Oops.<br/><br/>There is some beautiful (though contrived in passages) parts of this book - the references to Shakespeare and the idea that a person with an illness can be a ""grenade"" in a family struck me as very insightful.<br/><br/>I didn't find myself drawn to any one character (except perhaps a secondary one - Issac) and it felt very much like this author was writing this book for the sheer purpose of making the reader cry (I didn't).</span>"

But I get so frustrated by his book reviews! Before TFIOS even came out, the review page was injected with 5 stars and squeals of delight in the comments. It's just so disingenuous and frankly disrespectful to the integrity of the reviewing process. Even now that the book has come out, there's an intense inflation of 5 star reviews. I am glad John Green is so loved. I am glad John Green is getting people to read and think thoughtfully about literature. Nevertheless, I can not contain my annoyance: this book is over-rated.<br/><br/>I remember hearing John Green mention that one criticism he gets a lot is that he's derivative of himself, and he didn't really think that was much of an insult. I thought, good, because that's exactly how I feel. Supposing John Green would wade through the 109384204 reviews on this site I wouldn't want to offend the guy.<br/><br/>Really, man: awkward teen boy with odd quirk (featured alongside wacky best friend) falls for interesting yet elusive or otherwise unavailable girl. I honestly don't remember anything about An Abundance of Katherines except the main character's name was Colin and he was a prodigy. The only thing that distinguishes any of his main characters is their ""quirk"": quotes of dead people, etc.<br/><br/>So needless to say, I was excited for the different-ness of the TFIOS premise. For that, it is my favorite of the John Green books. Still, as you can see from my rating, it was not perfect:<br/><br/>1. Extremely flat characters. This was almost underlined in TFIOS, because in his previous books, the love interest was purposefully 2D, and of course many main characters feel flat. In TFIOS, the excuses ran out and it was just a series of characters distinguishable only in name.<br/><br/>2. The over-injection of ""like"" into teen dialogue. Sure, a lot of what the kids say is unrealistic, but that is furthered by the saturation of the word ""like."" Now I use like more than your average person, but this is borderline ridiculous. I understand maybe in the 90s or whenever John Green was a teenager maybe this is how kids talked. I don't think this holds true today.<br/><br/>3. Storyline painfully predictable.<br/><br/>4. Being repeatedly smacked over the head with the deeper meaning and take away messages. First it's hinted at and you get it, and you're like hey that's cool. Then it just keeps being shoved at you until you're told point-blank. Can we tone that down a few notches? I wanna read and find the symbolism and feel kinda smart for catching on, you know? It feels preachy. John Green is incredibly thoughtful and has some interesting perspectives that come off great in a 3 and a half minute video, but it's a bit much for a novel. If my memory serves me right, he may be getting better at this though.<br/><br/>I think that's the crux of it really. John Green has an idea and he wants to give it to you and that's what his books are about. His characters are simply vessels to convey the message. To his credit, I think he tries to make his characters distinguishable (as seen by their interesting quirks), but it just doesn't make them feel real. We as readers want them to feel real. We want a story with an exciting plot. John Green wants to convey his thoughts on a certain idea through the medium of novel.<br/><br/>John Green's characters do not inspire feelings or emotional connection; at best it is intellectual connection, but too obvious. You don't feel a fondness for them as you would the brazen Scout of To Kill a Mockingbird. Your heart does not rend in pity for them like poor Holden Caufield. Slaughterhouse Five for me was intellectually stimulating more than anything else, but since it was so intriguing and subtle I think that's what distinguishes it positively from John Green who has a very straight-forward and underlined POINT. I don't mean to sound pretentious with my references, but to me John Green is much more comparable with those than Harry Potter or Hunger Games, you know? His inspiration and drive is idea rather than epic story.<br/><br/>I don't know. I do know I can't really critique helpfully or intelligently. What I know is my gut reactions as a reader, how I feel. And I felt ok. Ok, it was kinda fun. It passed the time.<br/><br/>What did I like about John Green's book? John Green does a fantastic job naming. Interesting-but-normal-but-have-purpose names. Also, I did like the thoughtful bits in his book, I just didn't like when it became way too apparent what he was trying to say.<br/><br/>tl;dr: I recommend this book for a Saturday afternoon.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2R22EYQGIWWJG?ASIN=014242417X	Great read for teens!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I am the type of teenager who doesn't like reading until I find the perfect book-any other book is torture to get through. I picked up this book and got into it almost immediately. I haven't finished it (about 50 pages away) but I thought this was such a fantastic book that deserved a review. I would recommend it for teens especially but probably not for anyone under 13. It does contain some language and sexual references but not too much. In the beginning I was so anxious for something to happen with Hazel and Agustus that I wanted to keep reading. The author is amazing and wrote the book so well that I could imagine everything without too much detail. Thanks John! Also, for anyone thinking about reading this book, its great if you haven't already realized.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1NT9953QHCTKE?ASIN=014242417X	Might buy another copy.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">John Green is easily my girlfriend and I's favorite author, so when our anniversary lined up almost perfectly with Tour De Nerdfighting I knew exactly what to get her (and why not grab a copy for myself at the same time). Anyway I read bits and pieces of the book when I could, but when I finally got some spare time I found myself up until 4am because I just couldn't put the book down. I have to say, as a 20 year old man, I haven't experienced something that gave me so many feels in a very, very long time. Thank you John Green for an amazing book.<br/><br/>Also it looks like the book dropped in price a little bit. *Buys third copy*</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3J512W26NC3OM?ASIN=014242417X	"Gets you right in the ""literal heart of Jesus"""	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book quickly shot into my top 3 favorite books of all time...and I *devour* books.<br/><br/>This book literally (and I, too, have a huge pet peeve for the misuse of the word literally) made me laugh out loud and cry.  Sure, some books can get you in the gut, some get that lump in your throat, some even get your eyes watery.  But this book made me cry.  The only other book that got that much emotion out of me was ""Marley and Me"" (gaahhhh!!! Why, God, why!!?).  The Fault In Our Stars was mostly funny, witty, adorable, charming and just...lovely? Lovingly? Love.<br/><br/>I cannot stop telling people about this book.  I want everyone who has more than 5 minutes at the end of the day to give it to this book.  It's pretty short and a therefore a quick, easy read.  Of course, the first question out of everyone's mouth is, ""What's it about?"" and at first I would say, ""It's about teenagers with cancer."" Oh. fun. Let me just end my day with that lump of fun in my tea. Thanks Dena. I would immediately add something like, ""It's funny though, and so sweet and endearing.  It's seriously one of the sweetest books I've ever read.""  So now, when people ask me what it's about I tell them, ""It's a love story but it's different...you just have to read it.""  I wish I had copies and I could go around and just give it to people.  lol<br/><br/>When I put the book down I shut the light off to go to sleep and I just thought about what I personally have taken away from the book.  A character in the book talks about wanting to be remembered in this world, about making a difference.  Not just living and then dying a ""nobody"". If you affect one person in this world.  One person's heart.  If you have lived and they have loved you, you have made an impact on the world.  You have made a difference.  Love is the most powerful thing in this universe.  You are capable of giving it to others as well as creating it in others towards you.  When someone loves you, it makes a huge difference in their life. Otherwise there wouldn't be that huge, gaping, gut-wrenching hole where most of their insides are supposed to be after you are gone.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R13WEQBITSOJLA?ASIN=014242417X	My First John Green novel & it completed blew me away!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This was my first John Green novel and if you've never read a John Green novel I highly recommend you start here.<br/><br/>Hazel has cancer. She carries her oxygen tank everywhere just so she can breathe. She'd rather stay at home and watch America's Next Top Model than go to support group. However her life changes when she mets Augustus, a boy who is in remission, and who is besotted with her since their first meeting.<br/><br/>The Fault in Our Stars is a love story. It will have you reaching for a big box of tissues (trust me you will need a big box!). It's the story of fighting cancer and accepting your illness and falling in love.<br/><br/>I loved it so much. Hazel is such a strong girl. She lives with cancer everyday, and accepts her situation with snark and humor. The relationship with Hazel and Augustus is so real and so heart wrenching at the same time.<br/><br/>As someone that has lost someone close to cancer this story touched my heart so deeply. It's so well written and one that I will keep on my bookshelf to re-read soon.<br/><br/>I will definitely be reading more John Green novels in the future.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3FMYKRA2ILMKD?ASIN=014242417X	Make you laugh/cry in nearly the same page	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Wow. This book is amazing. Let me just say that.<br/><br/>It will make you laugh, make you cry, make you laugh/cry in nearly the same page. But it also makes you think and make you smile.<br/><br/>This book is touching in so many ways. To see such a great love story, and yet  also to be so sad.<br/><br/>And DAMMIT. I WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS TO HAZEL.<br/><br/>Just like she wanted to know about Anna and the Dutch Tulip Man.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1UZ8LSULIWG0Q?ASIN=014242417X	A beautiful story that'll coax out the tears.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Brutally honest and bittersweet, The Fault in Our Stars will tug at your heart-strings in the very best way. Hazel Lancaster is a cancer survivor but depends on an oxygen tank to keep her weak lungs functioning. Suddenly, they feel like they might collapse when the gorgeous Augustus Waters appears at one of her weekly support group meetings, in support of his blind friend, Isaac. As they slowly bond over their issues and love of books, the two play the dangerous game of falling in love where nothing can be certain, but persevere hand in hand until the very end. An absolutely moving novel that will surely bring you to tears.<br/><br/>Ever since Hazel got a second chance at life, never did she believe love would be in the picture. With all of her baggage, who would be interested? Gus soon makes himself known and quickly proves that she's completely worthy of his affections, making her feel special and like a normal teenage girl should. He charms her with his smile, gets her hooked on bloodbath zombie books, makes her feel loved and even grants her a special wish. Although I did feel things moved along quickly for them, I adored every stage of their relationship. It's emotional, real and feels entirely right. They're meant to be and it's backed up with visible evidence! Gus is one of the most unique YA guys for a variety of reasons - none that I'll be sharing with you! - and he'll win you over the second he appears in the book. I guarantee it!<br/><br/>If you're used to heroines who fight supernatural battles or rebel against corrupt governments, you'll love the refreshing voice of Hazel. How often do you read books like this? Where the girl is thrown into real life-threatening circumstances? Where she has a physical disadvantage? Where she sacrifices her own happiness so that the love of her life won't get hurt if she dies? Not only is Hazel mentally and emotionally strong, she manages to keep her sense of humour and enjoy what she can in life. Her relationship with her friends and family are explored too, realistically showing the affect cancer has on those around her. I truly adore how genuine this book is, not making Hazel's life perfect but really showing all of the flaws and complications.<br/><br/>If, like me, you've never read anything by John Green before, I'd say this is a great place to start. With his perfect balance of extreme wit, humour, romance and heartache, The Fault in Our Stars is a brilliant read. As you fall in love with all of the characters, you'll be hanging onto their every word and waiting to see what will happen next, following them every step of the way on this bumpy journey. Green's beautiful story about love and loss will wrangle your heart this way and that, making you ride his rollercoaster until the very last page. And what a ride it is...</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RLW9GQYMDUPNS?ASIN=014242417X	Everything I was hoping for, and more.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">John did it again. He always seems to find the way to describe things that I've always wanted to but have never been capable of. The Fault in Our Stars played a game of hacky sack with my heart, but I'm grateful I read it. (Hopefully soon to read it again). Thank you for this novel, John, it's a real gift.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RI1OQ8CUS57K2?ASIN=014242417X	That feeling all over again...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">You know, the one where you finish something-experiencing something, and you know that there will never be another time when you can experience it again in the same way-as the first time.<br/><br/>That is how I felt about this novel.  I felt that way after finishing the Harry Potter series, leaving the theater after the final movie, after reading The Hunger Games, and after finishing the initial listen of countless albums by TMBG, The Mountain Goats, Ingrid Michaelson, and more.<br/><br/>It is because of this feeling that I know that John Green's latest novel, The Fault in our Stars, will live in the celestial glory of trans-generational celebration.  It will become, for so long as there are people to remember it, a novel that is listed alongside Catcher in the Rye, To Kill a Mockingbird, Great Expectations, and the other 'classics.'<br/><br/>I have never sobbed so passionately, or laughed so genuinely whilst reading a novel as I have while reading TFioS.<br/><br/>You will walk away with a greater appreciation for your life, for your loved ones, and for your day-to-day existence, all-the-while being comforted by the grander notions (that I wont spoil for you) that John so insightfully reveals.<br/><br/>Though my tears have dried, I still feel for the characters in the book as I would if they were my own flesh and blood.  I think a part of me will carry them with me always.<br/><br/>Thank you John, for the gift you have given us all.<br/><br/>DFTBA</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2HZLR8T8O3EWN?ASIN=014242417X	Green's Love Letter to Esther Earl	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Green said it best: ""We made the story funny. You have a choice in this world, I believe, about how to tell sad stories, and we made the funny choice."" His trademark humor is here; his brilliant youngsters are here. His genuine characters, his real issues. And more. This book is more. Hazel and Augustus -- and Isaac -- are some of the most amazing characters I've met inside a book for years. They're smart...between the two of them, Hazel and Augustus reference or quote, among others, Dickinson, Beckett, Shakespeare, Ginsberg, Eliot, Whitman, Fitzgerald, Proust, Twain, Salinger, Anne Frank, Wallace Stevens, William Carlos Williams and Frost...Man, would I love to be their teacher!<br/><br/>But this IS a sad story. Sad, but not hopeless. Sad but not utterly depressing. Sad and dark, sad and angry. How could teens with cancer NOT be angry. I wondered and wondered how Green was going to explain the title, the famous quote from JULIUS CAESAR. Cassius tells Brutus the fault IS NOT in our stars...but kids with cancer?? That is the fault in and of the stars. Kids who would grow to contribute so much to the world if they could just grow up. Kids with intelligence and insight that would enrich everyone's life.<br/><br/>And that is a theme of the book...how do we, can we, make our mark in the years we have? Gus, more than Hazel, wonders about this. They both live out their own form of heroism, and I love that they each recognize the heroism in the other.<br/><br/>Augustus gives Hazel his wish trip to Amsterdam to meet an author she's obsessed with, and with that, Green gave me Anne Frank's house. I never got to go in...I just hovered on the outside, on the street in front of the canal. But John Green, and Augustus and Hazel gave me the tour, and I'm forever grateful.<br/><br/>This is one of the most important books about suffering and heroism and love and loss I've read in years...it made me sob out loud, and I'm so glad I finished in at home! A new semester of students who don't know me yet would have been horrified to see their teacher break down like I did...there would have been a stampede to the counselors' offices to change schedules, for sure!!<br/><br/>The subplot with the author of the book Hazel's obsessed with, the author who inspires the trip to Amsterdam, makes me wonder if Green sees himself in some of the struggles of this highly unlikable man...his struggles with writing and fame and fans...Green is OBVIOUSLY NOT Peter Van Houten, but some of the lines about fans seemed to connect for me.<br/><br/>Rereading the book to collect my quotes made me weep again. Rereading my quotes right now made me weep again.<br/><br/>Lines to make me cry:<br/><br/>Pain demands to be felt<br/>Pain is a blunt and nonspecific diagnostic instrument<br/>I'm a grenade and at some point I'm going to blow up and I would like to minimize the casualties<br/>I was the alpha and omega of my parent's suffering<br/>you are so busy being you that you have no idea how utterly unprecedented you are<br/>You gotta pick your battles in this world<br/>Grief does not change you. It reveals you<br/>You don't get to choose if you get hurt in this world, but you do have a say in who hurts you<br/>I was awash in the nobility of sacrifice<br/>Cancer is me...it's a civil war...with a predetermined winner</span>"

One page you're bawling, the next you're falling off your bed laughing.<br/><br/>I don't know if this book is a true portrayal of what it is like to live with cancer, but as someone who lost someone I truly loved to cancer, it absolutely speaks to my experience.<br/><br/>The only bad part about this book? My ""J-Scribble"" was in red - also no hanklerfish! :[ If the worst part of the book is that the author did not sign it in a color that I find particularly pleasing to the eyes - well then - that speaks volumes about how ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFICENT this novel truly is.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R9H92O0P42GYK?ASIN=014242417X	"RICK ""SHAQ"" GOLDSTEIN SAYS: ""I'M A GRANDPA AND A *BRAIN-TUMOR-SURVIVOR*... THIS BOOK WILL TOUCH ALL HEARTS REGARDLESS OF AGE!"""	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I normally wouldn't write a review on a book when there were already so many reviews posted. (132 as of the time I'm typing this) because normally adding a review at this point creates the same effect as dropping a pebble in the middle of the ocean. But this is such a unique emotional and touching story... that I decided if my view on it would positively affect even one person then it was worth the effort. Being that I have been blessed with the gift of life for what will be NINE-YEARS on February 13th after almost dying during *BRAIN TUMOR* surgery... and being given the additional gift of seeing and enjoying the birth of two Granddaughters since that fateful day... this book hit home in many ways.<br/><br/>The first important point I would like to make to potential readers is that though this is advertised and listed as a book for young adults... which it obviously is... it is also perfect for Parents and Grandparents like me. And obviously if you summarize what I just said... this book is an emotional gem for any human being with the type of heart that poets write about. This book is narrated through the character of Hazel a 16-17 year-old teenager who has lived her short life revolving around tumors... lung problems... and a young life that makes it almost an oxymoron to talk about the future and any length of life. Being that I'm a tumor survivor myself... this book made me realize once again... what I  really already understood. Young or old... when an uncontrollable health or medical issue is stamped onto your life (as it was)... there is immediately an ascension into an inner-private-world... that believes no one truly understands you and what you're going through... and at the intersection of gallows' humor... and anger... something... or someone... has to be let in to your very personal soul... because you're about to descend into an awful reality... that as unbearable as you know it will become... will only become more bone-chillingly-harsh... if you don't find someone you can really lean on... trust... openly share your most hauntingly vivid fears... and dreams of what happens when you're gone.<br/><br/>The author does such a wonderful job in touching any reader even though his literary voice is through a sixteen year-old-girl. Early in the book (since I'm an ""old-man"") it bothered me reading my thoughts through this youngster... but midway through the book... Hazel really became *MY* voice with ""our"" thoughts and it became as natural as can be. Even though the author strongly reminds the reader in the beginning of the book: ""THIS BOOK IS A WORK OF FICTION. I MADE IT UP. NEITHER NOVELS OR THEIR READERS BENEFIT FROM ATTEMPTS TO DIVINE WHETHER ANY FACTS HIDE INSIDE A STORY. SUCH EFFORTS ATTACK THE VERY IDEA THAT MADE-UP STORIES CAN MATTER, WHICH IS SORT OF THE FOUNDATIONAL ASSUMPTION OF OUR SPECIES. I APPRECIATE YOUR COOPERATION IN THIS MATTER.""<br/><br/>Despite the author's strong warning... I was so touched as the story unfolded... that despite the warning... I couldn't help but have my thoughts and emotions grapple with the thought of real people's lives being the catalyst for this story. I expected to have my hands smacked with a ruler for such thoughts. Besides Hazel and her equally ill young love interest Augustus Waters... there are a brave cast of terminally ill children that will make you thank the Lord silently for your health or your families... as I do every day of my blessed life. Some of the dialogue is pure poetry... and what makes the poetry even more powerful and inspiring are  the deeper messages that seem to almost always be entwined. One of my favorites regarding love... coincidentally also happened to come about right when the book and Hazel's voice completely engulfed me, and I was originally going to use it as the title of my review. ** "" I FELL IN LOVE THE WAY YOU FALL ASLEEP: SLOWLY, AND THEN ALL AT ONCE.""<br/><br/>As I mentioned earlier... this book is perfect for all ages... well, it's ALSO perfect for real life victims of the debilitating diseases... AND for their loved ones. The author not only resolutely defines the agony and relentlessness of these murderous childhood killers... but he exquisitely shares the pain and anguish of loving parents who in the midst of their own hearts and lives being slowly destroyed... try to do the right thing by their very own lifeblood... their own young flesh and blood... their children.<br/>** ""MY DAD JUST KEPT TELLING ME HE LOVED ME IN THIS VOICE THAT WAS NOT BREAKING SO MUCH AS ALREADY BROKEN.""<br/><br/>It's not too often you are totally touched by a book... and it WILL affect you. As Augustus so aptly said: ""THAT'S THE THING ABOUT PAIN... IT DEMANDS TO BE FELT.""<br/>Having personally been through many things discussed in this book... I have had a few hard to define experiences crystallized a bit in retrospect. ""GRIEF DOES NOT CHANGE YOU... IT REVEALS YOU.""<br/><br/>I recommend this book highly to your entire family.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R10OXX1OGAEWKY?ASIN=014242417X	This is my first Amazon review for a reason: Amazing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This was the first time in my life that I wanted to immediately start re-reading a book the moment I finished it. This is a story that you will feel deep down, haunting you long after you turn the last page. I'm not going to provide a synopsis of the book, others have already done that.  What I will recommend is to read slowly, read deeply, and allow yourself to be open to new thoughts and emotions.<br/>This book is not a light, easy read.  However, it reminded me of why books are perhaps the most important inanimate objects on this planet - because they are not inanimate.  A good book, despite the cliche, does come alive in your hands and has the power to change you.<br/>I encourage you to read The Fault in our Stars. It a beautiful piece of work.

People need to know this story."" It doesn't matter that it's a fictional piece, because so much in this book touches upon the truth in the world. It does so in a way that everyone can relate with, even if you don't have a terminal illness or even know anyone with one.<br/><br/>Now that I've finished it, I just want to give it out to everyone I know and make them read it because it needs to be read. This is the type of book that should be taught in schools, but would be best if read in your own leisure and privacy with your own thoughts to reflect upon it. It will touch you on a personal level and teach you to take a moment and just appreciate life, the universe, and everything.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R39PDQBYOPT7OR?ASIN=014242417X	A book full of raw humanity	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I woke up early in the morning with a sinking feeling and tears in my eyes. Had something terrible happened the night before? No, I had only read John Green's ""The Fault in Our Stars"".<br/>It's a powerful book. I had read ""An Abundance of Katherines"" a couple weeks earlier, and I laughed at one sentence and cried at the next. ""The Fault in Our Stars"" went one step further - what started out as a laugh ended as a cry; I really laughed and cried at the same time.<br/>It's no wonder that John's favorite band is the Mountain Goats. (It's my favorite band too, and I probably wouldn't have heard of it if not for John.) Darnielle's three-minute songs and Green's unputdownable one-evening books are in the same incredible boat. John's novels and the Mountain Goat's lyrics share a grasp of the poetry of sadness and simplicity, a minimalism which leaves out everything but raw humanity.<br/>The book is (at least in part) about how to remain human and happy without giving up honesty. On one level, it is a question about what a novel should look like. The theme of the contrast between two types of novel runs through the entire book. There's your typical - cheesy, overly optimistic, making holy that which is just human - cancer novel - a novel, in short,  which compromises its honesty in favor of optimism; and then there's the fictional Peter Van Houten's ""An Imperial Affliction"", which ends up erring on the side of pessimism. This device of ""book within book"" is a daring one, as there is an implicit claim that John's book manages to steer clear of the pitfalls of both approaches. And steer clear he does - as well as fulfilling the unspoken promise to give the reader an ending rivalling the one in Van Houten's novel.<br/>On another level, the distinction between the two types of novel is of course a distinction between different ways of living our lives in the face of suffering. In the end, the book says no more than to live and love before it is too late - and to not be too afraid of being hurt. And I think this is the best we can do when it comes balancing honesty and humanity. In a new and poignant variation on the ""'Tis better to have loved and lost..."" theme, one of the ending lines in the novel is ""You don't get to choose if you get hurt in this world, old man, but you do have some say in who hurts you.""<br/>Having said all this, there is a - perhaps minor, but still disappointing - mistake in the novel. Cantor's discovery that there are different sizes of infinity does /not/ give a solution to Zeno's Paradox. The fact that there can be smaller and larger infinities does not help, because the only infinities involved are the countable infinity of sequences of rational numbers and the uncountable infinity of the continuum - and they are the same for both Achilles and the turtle. And this brings us to the crux of the matter - when Hazel says that ""of course"" there is a bigger infinite set of numbers between 0 and 2 than between 0 and 1, she is displaying a complete ignorance of Cantor's work. In fact, one of Cantor's groundbreaking (and clearly extremely unintuitive, judging by Hazel's ""of course"") results was that the size of the set of real numbers from 0 to 1 is the same as the size of the set of numbers from 0 to 2 (under a suitable definition of what it means for two sets to have the same size - for the curious, two sets have the same size if and only if one can ""pair together"" elements of one set with elements of the other without leaving any out). John could have read all of this in a Wikipedia article - that he didn't, and that neither his editiors nor his more mathematically-minded friends caught the mistake is a severe disappointment. (One could argue that neither Van Houten nor Hazel were mathematicians and so it was okay for them to be wrong. But the uninformed reader will doubtless assume they are correct and take away from the novel a misconception about mathematics and philosophy.)<br/>It is a mark of my high opinion of the book that I give it five stars despite this glaring mistake. After all, it is not every day that a novel makes you laugh and cry at the exact same moment.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1UYXLK5DS4FVX?ASIN=014242417X	tragic and magical.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Honestly, I there aren't words for this book. I could never put the experience into words. The laughter. The sobbing. Literally. I have NEVER cried so hard from a book in my life. And I am a cry-er. At one point I set it down and swore I couldn't finish it. It took me 15 minutes to calm down and pick it back up. John Green truly brings Hazel and Augustus to life. The sweet, tender, apprehensive, and adorable romance is perfect. Green paints a tragic, painful, beautiful, funny, tender, sweet, raw, honest portrait of life and death. I was literally laughing and crying at the same time. I also spent a good deal of time squee-ing, smiling, giggling, and the sweet and beautiful romance. The tender moments Green painted so perfectly. TFiOS is pure perfection. John Green has truly outdone himself. And after finishing it all I could think was, ""God, I need a hug.""</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1HTIGAI08WPGW?ASIN=014242417X	Wonderful, easily Green's best work yet.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I'll start by being honest- whilst I've been a big fan of John Green's for a number of years his young adult books have been enjoyable, but never really stood out for me personally. I'm an english lit student currently as well, so my time to read for recreation is unfortunately limited. This book changed everything however, and I ended up reading it in one night over two sittings, with just a short break in between. I was stuck in place.<br/>I always find that when I'm enjoying a novel the characters will leap off the page and suddenly I'll find myself in everyday life, asking things like ""what would x think about this?"". Hazel and Augustus became this so quickly that I couldn't get back to reading fast enough, becoming so invested the plot. The emotional level was fantastic, mixing humour and melancholy so well that my emotions twisted with the characters.<br/>I don't know how much more I can say to be honest, I think since I finished the book not long ago I'm still processing it! I'll say this though- I was hoping this book would be as entertaining as Green's other works and it just exceeded my expectations beyond belief. I'll be recommending it to everyone.<br/><br/>P.S. thank you for the signature as well John, I really appreciate you taking all that time to sign that insane amount of books :)</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1JAOI445IVGJS?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing. Beautiful. Witty.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Oh my God. This book is hands down one of the best books I have ever read, and probably will ever read. I sat down this morning, and did not get up until I finished. In that time, I had laughed more than I had ever laughed while reading a book, and cried more than I have ever cried. This book was truly a roller coaster of emotions, and I'm seriously sitting here tearing up again while writing the review. I had to pause for a moment, not able to write this immediately upon finishing the novel because it's almost like how can I possibly write a review that will do this book justice?<br/><br/>Of course everything I write is going to be spoiler free, but if you have not read the book, I totally recommend going into it with a fresh head and not reading any reviews, even the spoiler-free ones. I won't even tell my sister what happened, because though she is 13, I anticipate that she'll be reading this in the next year or two, and I still don't want to spoil it for her.<br/><br/>John. Oh John. You are just so GOOD. Your writing is always smart and witty and deep and powerful, so of course I expected no less for The Fault in our Stars. You pour so much meaning into every name, every sentence, every word. It was impossible for me to put this book down, I couldn't have even if I absolutely had to. You have such a way with words, it never ceases to amaze me.<br/><br/>These characters were fantastic. They were never played off or perceived as perfect, and that's what made this book what it was. Hazel's voice was so honest, I felt like I knew her. Everything was just so incredibly real about this book and this story. I was so invested in these character's and their story, and I truly cared about them with the bottom of my heart.<br/><br/>I'm seriously still mind blown by this book. There are very few life-changing books out there, but The Fault in our Stars changed the way that I view everything. That in itself is such a rarity. A book like this is going to be hard to top, but with John Green, anything is possible. His books are truly modern classics, and he will forever be one of my literary heroes. This is one of those books that I'll be thinking about for days. Such beautiful, powerful, hilarious but heartbreaking novel, that will really change your perception of life.<br/><br/>Amazing. Breathtaking. Smart. Witty. Heartbreaking.<br/><br/>I would give this book 10 stars if I could. In a heartbeat.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1DNA35PNRXMN9?ASIN=014242417X	Magical!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">A truly great book has balance. The Fault in Our Stars is one of the few books that achieve this. The balance between comedy and tragedy is absolutely magical.<br/><br/>The main characters' obsession with the fictional novel An Imperial Affliction may for a moment appear to be pretentious and off-putting, but I can't remember reading a novel in the past few years in which the characters were as real and inspired. John Green succeeds in the challenge of having unique characters without alienating the reader. I believe this book to be John Green's best so far.<br/><br/>Warning: you won't laugh in the same way as you did with John Green's other novels, such as Paper Towns and Looking for Alaska - but you will feel more feelings than you ever thought a book could inspire in a reader. John Green not only imagines his characters complexly, but also imagines the reader to be complex as well.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1J7DQX3O5NBD7?ASIN=014242417X	The encompassment of passion, love, and truth.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I have just finished reading this novel.<br/>To be honest, I went to Barnes and Noble and was just going to read it and wait for a pdf.  The only way I was going to buy it was if his signature was in the book, which it wasn't.<br/>So I sat down and read.  I reached roughly page 205 and I had to put down the book.<br/><br/>I was going to start bawling my eyes in the middle of Barnes and Noble.<br/><br/>I got up, went to the register and bought it.<br/><br/>I read about 80 books a year, no joke, no lie.  Only one book has ever made me cry, and that was Tuesdays With Morrie by Mitch Albom.  I simply cried.<br/>This novel made me sob.<br/><br/>It makes you question everything you ever believed.<br/>It has changed my life and I can assume already the main characters would have found some flaw in the sentences I just typed and joined to make a joke out of my incorrect use of words and its structure as a whole. However, to be truly honest with you - if you don't read this book and buy it,  I feel very sorry for you.  This book deserves nothing but 5 stars.<br/><br/>Five stars.<br/>John Green is a literary genius and he has evoked another beautiful and raw story that will leave you laughing out loud, crying, and dreading the end.<br/><br/>No other words can ever phrase how I feel right now.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R19XIJ76UYRDW0?ASIN=014242417X	A Very Moving Book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is one of the most brilliantly crafted books I've ever read. It's now one of my top five favourite books ever, and one that I will reread in the future. I have not loved a book this deeply since We, the Drowned by Carsten Jensen and The Red Tent by Anita Diamant.<br/><br/>John Green has created a cast of characters that are so honest and relatable that by the end of the book, I felt like I knew them personally. The book focuses primarily on three young people with cancer-Hazel, Augustus (Gus), and Isaac. They know that they have a raw deal, but they're not overly bitter about their situations. They're still teenagers, they just happen to have their eyes wide open to the reality of human mortality. I found Isaac particularly endearing, watching him learn that promises are flimsy and so is young love.<br/><br/>The storyline of The Fault in Our Stars isn't predictable. It's hard not to begin reading a cancer book wondering who will die and when, but the arc of the plot wasn't what I thought it was going to be. I like that I couldn't see exactly where it would go-it made things interesting. At the same time, Green leaves the reader with no illusions about what these characters will face. Some of them are living on borrowed time and will definitely not make old bones.<br/><br/>The Fault in Our Stars does have its share of sad moments, but these aren't gratuitous. It's a beautiful kind of agony, watching these characters confront the basic truths of mortality that we all will eventually face ourselves. I don't cry easily (only two other books have ever brought me to tears), but this book really moved me and I mourned for the lives of these characters when the novel ended.<br/><br/>The Fault in Our Stars covers not only what it means to be dying, but what its like to grieve for someone who has died. Watching the decline of a character and then the aftermath for those left behind made me think, This person is amazing! Why didn't he/she get more life? Which then led me to wonder, Would he or she have been such a great person if illness hadn't made them reexamine and value life?<br/><br/>Augustus and Hazel are big on existential questions like that. John Green got me wondering about these things too-testament to a good novel, that it can invade my thinking like that.<br/><br/>Read The Fault in Our Stars. Yes, it is a sad book, but the insight and appreciation for life that you will gain from reading it far outweighs a few tears.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1LVUV509Q8E58?ASIN=014242417X	Laughing, crying, and screaming. In that order.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I went into this novel as blind as I possibly could, which meant ordering it back in July and promptly forgetting about it until I got the shipment notification. Being a fan of John Green's other novels and having read some vague things about this one, I was unsure what exactly I was getting. Another formulaic Looking For Alaska/Paper Towns boy-meets-girl? A road trip?<br/><br/>Regardless, The Fault in Our Stars is fabulous, phenomenal, astounding, staggering, incredible, and all sorts of other synonyms for how much I loved this book. I read it in a day, I laughed (if there's one thing Green does well, it is writing teenagers that sound like teenagers), I cried (more like sobbed like I was watching the series finale to Six Feet Under), and I screamed incoherently with a friend who was also reading the novel.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RWDYY4NX13KRG?ASIN=014242417X	NO SPOILERS!!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Each of John Green's books have affected my life with their subtle lessons. I've followed his work and his life for several years now, and it's pretty safe to say that he's my idol. I feel like you can appreciate his work without knowing a lot about John, but it's not the same. So if you don't know him, go to youtube.com/vlogbrothers.<br/><br/>The key to a good book is finding yourself forgetting that you're not the main character. John Green makes it so you feel Hazel's pain, happiness, and fear. I know that everyone interprets art differently, but to me, A Fault in our Stars seems to be telling me that we can't allow the fact that we're all going to die some day ruin our lives.<br/>Buy the book. I guarantee you'll fall in love with it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3K27UASNFYEUN?ASIN=014242417X	This book made me feel more like myself.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">One of those books where you finish it in a matter of hours and spend 20 minutes lying on the floor digesting it. Then you find yourself reopening it in your mind while you drive to the grocery store, while you wash your hair, while you eat breakfast. You run your hands over the cover, feeling the shiny newness, just because you can, and wonder with trepidation how many rereadings it will take to scrape the newness away. You panic and tear your room apart looking for it when it's a meter away from where you thought you left it.You parse the font and the texture of the paper. The book is irrevocably part of you. Holding it tightly and feeling your pulse radiating back at you, the book might as well be alive.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R17BKGHD11ZPY?ASIN=014242417X	Death, humor, life, love. And, a great story.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is why Young Adult fiction is great. Death, humor, life, love, joy and wonder in a plain old good story. I was never more existential than I when I was a teenager, and John Green nails it.<br/>It's laugh-out-loud funny at times, and some of those times are also the darkest, saddest moments. Because that's how life is. These completely fictional folks come to life as examples of how to live, how to die, and most importantly: how to find meaning in the world.<br/>Side note: as a philosophy librarian, the recently departed Phillipa Foot gets a shout out, as does good old Zeno. Nice work, Mr.Green</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R21JNNEAWUZWR8?ASIN=014242417X	Different Infinities	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I am not one for writing reviews on Amazon, I think the only review I have ever felt the need to write before this one was for Everything is Illuminated, but since John Green's audience is one that so champions community, I felt compelled to share my thoughts on The Fault in Our Stars.<br/><br/>The book arrived at 11am, I had finished it by 4pm. Not that it is particularly short, I just didn't want to put it down. I haven't felt such love and anticipation for a book since Harry Potter [and for whenever Safran Foer decides to turn out another piece of real fiction] and it did not disappoint.<br/><br/>I'll skip over reiterating the story of Hazel's experience with cancer as it has already been described by other reviewers. I will, however, describe the book as perfect. Not because it is the perfect book, better than all the others, but because it is perfect at being exactly what it is. It is not over-sentimental, the characters have flaws, they leave scars, they're resonant and real and beautiful in that way we would perceive our own friends, if only they were to be written down. There are no gimmicky twists or turns, but there were sentences that made my heart stop. Once the book was finished, unlike the protagonist's favourite novel, I knew that it truly was finished. It was complete. It had been everything I had needed it to be. This novel is contentment.<br/><br/>John writes so beautifully, and captures complexity so simplistically, and yet he does all these things interspersed with a wonderfully real, heartfelt, and witty dialogue between three teenagers. I laughed and I cried, I was glad to have been scarred by this book. It will long be a cherished part of my collection. I think all of our lives are made a little better by having John Green in them.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2N7V4HR3OMBD0?ASIN=014242417X	Very moving, fabulously intelligent, an amazingly good read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I have read (I think) all of John's other books (Looking for Alaska, An Abundance of Katherines, Paper Towns, Will Grayson, Will Grayson, and Let it Snow), so you could say that I am already a fan and Nerdfighter.  I have always found his books among the best and hardest of YA to read.  They are more thought provoking then fluff like Twilight and I have read most at least twice which I feel is necessary to glean them for all their hidden treats.<br/><br/>TFiOS is the best.  Hands down this is his best work thus far.  The characters have such clear voices, they pull at you and feed you. After reading in 13 hours, it felt that I could have gone to a phone book, looked up the characters and called them, they were so real.<br/><br/>One of my favorite parts in my first reading (I will be reading this again after husband and daughters) was the run-on sentences that made it hard to catch your breath and made you understand what is was like for the main character whose lungs suck at being lungs.<br/><br/>If you like intelligent characters, fantastic writing, and a moving story, then this is a MUST READ book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RJJEJ5MR3EBM4?ASIN=014242417X	beautiful, funny, and so damn intelligent	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">DON'T WORRY, NO SPOILERS HERE<br/><br/>u will notice that my review is written only 2 days after the books' release. i don't know that i've ever finished a novel this fast, save for really short ones like 'of mice and men.'<br/><br/>john green's style of writing is proof-positive to me that charles dickens was damn long-winded. something can be just as funny, tragic, and beautiful when written with simplicity and sincerity. i can say with full confidence that there was nothing sincere in dickens' paragraph-long sentences describing inanimate objects. in contrast, TFiOS is able to be full of philosophical quotes and incredible introspection, without having a shred of pretense.<br/><br/>the story itself aside, i liked very much how he dealt with the heroine's voice. it was not awkward at all to read this book, written by a grown man, from a teenage girls' point of view. what i admired so much was that he did not baby this character- make her overly feminine, because that is how many male writers tend to write women. hazel is, instead, fully intelligent and three-dimensional, and not some insecure or vapid or weak teenager. there is no over-abundance of girl-talk- she is just another protagonist, who just happens to be a girl.<br/><br/>thank you, john, for giving us this modern heroine. when i watch my contemporaries fall to caring what lip gloss kim kardashian wears, i know it must be because there is a dearth of female role models to show young girls that they can be the fighter in their lives, not the one whose sole purpose is to be saved.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3706LJYW98QB7?ASIN=014242417X	It seems only fitting that this is the first signed book I own, because it has become my favorite.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I pre-ordered this book and received a signed copy on its release date of January 10. I finished it in the same day, many hours and tears later. Since it is only the 11th now, I realize there are still countless people who are probably still waiting for their copies or have not finished reading it yet, so I will not ruin the experience with spoilers in this review.<br/><br/>This book is simply a book about living. It is about laughter, heartache, love, beauty, fear, loss, death, illness, health, luck, adversity, knowledge, happiness, fate, companionship, and pain. It is a work of fiction that rings as true as life itself. I would highly recommend this to anyone who is already familiar with John Green's work, but especially to those who are not.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RQ19HVJVKXQ7E?ASIN=014242417X	Will Make Those Made of Stone Break	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I am a huge John Green fan. I think he is one of the most talented authors of our generation and his books are always wonderfully insightful, hilarious, and moving. I always come away from reading one of his books with at least five quoatations that I love and a story that sticks with me for a long time. That being said, ""The Fault in Our Stars"" is one of the most heartbreaking books I have ever read.<br/><br/>The book is about a sixteen year old named Hazel who is diagnosed with a terminal thyroid cancer that has metastasized to her lungs. She suffers from depression and attends a support group to help her deal with the suffering that comes with cancer. There she meets Augustus Waters, a boy who brings her back to the land of the living.<br/><br/> I am a big fan of books that evoke emotion but I rarely actually break down and cry. At some parts of this book I had to stop reading to pull myself together and remind myself that this was a fictional story, but that did not matter. Whether Hazel and Augustus are real or fictional you will fall in love with them and hate the universe that made their lives so difficult. The Fault in Our Stars is a wonderful work by a wonderful author.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R360GK535BGOJN?ASIN=014242417X	beautifully complex	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">TFIOS deals with sickness in a completely unique way.  It explores the complex thoughts of the sick teens which resonates wonderfully with the anxiety felt by all.  The characters are so well developed that I felt as if I knew them.  Hazel and Augustus make great main characters and are backed up by a variety of supporting characters featuring a complex range of emotion.  Green balances emotion well with the book being extremely serious while also making me laugh out loud, and it is must deeper than comedic relief.  TFIOS is a great read for high school age students and is certainly appealing to adults.  It doesn't feel like it is targeted at high school students other than that the main characters happen to be high school age.  It would make a great read for discussion circles and book groups of all ages.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1NAM15Z9BZU7I?ASIN=014242417X	Fantastic	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I've come to believe that good fiction helps the reader transcend the self. Good fictions become tools that are used to breach the consciousness and tap into the mechanisms of humanities inexhaustible spirit. The Fault in Our Stars is an example of such a work. The book is advertised under the ""Young Adult"" genre, and although it may contain hormonal sexual tension, intentional, and premeditated teenage angst, it presents very mature themes in an eloquent and exceedingly elaborate fashion. John does not underestimate the capabilities of his readers, often prompting them to address the complexities of everything from early 20th century poetry to existential nihilism. The Fault in Our Stars does an excellent job at addressing the hardships of suffrage. Do we become the things or events that hinder us, or do chart - and excuse my vague textual reference here - our own cosmic, ontological course? More important than its literary force and didactic subtleties, is the books ability to evoke raw emotion. I found myself tearing up several times throughout the book, and as a reader becoming empathetically involved with the characters. The highlight of the novel is Chapter Eighteen, a section - that without giving anything away - hurdled me through a climactic set of emotions, ranging from frustration, and powerlessness to unadulterated melancholic beauty. To say The Fault in Our Stars is a ""Cancer Book"" would be understating the prowess of this work. The Fault in Our Stars is a book that treats cancer as a living, breathing consequence, but not as its protagonist. The books concern is life and its many side affects; ""life begets life."" Hazel is an insightful, smart anti-hero, who grapples with love and its many complexities with both dignified humor and crippling sadness, and such an attention should attract readers both young and old.  Without a doubt, the Fault in Our Stars is John's most accomplished piece of work that will inevitably attract and bear many awards by the years end.<br/><br/>5/5<br/><br/>DFTBA</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R24JPTHFGLPN7S?ASIN=014242417X	Dealing with Reality	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I must admit, having only read a couple of John Green's books before but also being a dedicated Nerdfighter, I was hesitant to purchase The Fault in Our Stars. Before even reading it, I felt like it was being over-hyped and I've been disappointed so many times before from books that were proclaimed ""exceptional"" when I only felt ""eh"" about 'em.<br/><br/>The Fault in Our Stars breaks that cycle. For the first time in a long while, I felt something while reading. I laughed. I cried. I was excited. I felt disappointment (along with the characters. not outside the book). All of these emotions were wrapped up in a not-so-nicely wrapped package that was bursting at the seams. It's intriguing to think that something so simply written could leave so many difficult thoughts and questions seeping through my pores.<br/><br/>I'm disappointed that I finished so quickly but it's a book that needs to be read by everyone. Even the non-readers.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R35MWWS4DYQZQZ?ASIN=014242417X	Not to be missed.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">When I first received The Fault in Our Stars, I was almost scared to begin reading it. I was worried that, after loving John Green's previous books, I would end up disliking this one, and have to lie and say I liked it so I wouldn't disappoint all my other John Green-loving friends. However, The Fault in our Stars is an absolute triumph. I have only cried at two books in my life: Looking for Alaska and now TFioS. The book has moments of beautiful humor (Issac may be my favorite supporting character ever) and heartbreaking honesty (If Hazel's first monologue about the uselessnes of worrying about oblivion doesn't kick you right where it hurts, you probably don't have a pulse) and I felt like I was on a roller coaster of emotion. I don't want to say too much about the book, because I feel like spoilers would have killed it for me. But this book is a must-read. Bravo, John Green. And thank you.</span>"

This was a book I had to read for a book club that I'm in. The book itself was fairly enjoyable, but pretty depressing.

The writing was good, but in the end it wasn't one of those books that I wanted to go on forever.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RE8CJ2IBGPHBK?ASIN=014242417X	not what I was expecting	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Well everyone told me that I HAVE to read this and  that it's Soooo good and that they cried so hard but it was weird I didn't cry and I found this book written a bit like a fan fiction from some random fan but it was good and quite sad.. I just didn't find it that sad, three stars John green, three stars.... This is just my opinion you don't have to agree with me you just have to accept that I am entitled to an opinion.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/REXL69HF5TX6W?ASIN=014242417X	Love this book beyond words!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I began to read this book and finished it in about four hours minus the one were I laid it down, due to my eyes being blurred by my tears. It changed my perspective on love. Love shouldn't be a game or tedious, if you love someone you should tell them and not give up. I want a love like theirs. A love so big I won't be able to fathom a day without it.  And this book is just amazing and with out a doubt worth your while.</span>"

I wanted it to make me BURST into tears like everyone else. I even had tissues prepared. But this book did not deliver the feels. The plot was pretty predictable. (SPOILER ALERT) I knew after they met he was probably gonna die instead of her. And he did. I love John Green, he is awesome. But I wanted them feelz.</span>"

3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R39Y6FWD632VAT?ASIN=014242417X	Great read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This was a really great, quick read. I could not put this book down and ended up finishing it in two days. John Green has an excellent writing style, making the characters seem very relatable and enjoyable. The deep development of the characters throughout this book brought tears to my eyes by the end, as I did not want them to quit existing. I definitely recommend reading this book (before seeing the movie, of course).</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3GBGFEY51LQO6?ASIN=014242417X	Thought provoking and moving.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I worked with terminal cancer patients for twenty eight years. They live in my heart even now that my memory is leaker than it was in those days. This story brought so many of those I cared for vividly back.  There is a authinic reality about the struggle faced by young people and those who love them when death is coming much to soon.  I wish many of those I cared for could have had someone they loved and were loved by.</span>"

My heart has been wrenched from my chest and my eyes hurt from crying! I just ache for them. I loved the setting, I grew up in southern part of Indy and know all the places John spoke of. Hazel and Gus are so witty, I was laughing just as much as I was crying. I cannot wait for the movie, I will be emailing you Mr. Green, you can count on it!</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2OSXIDZKBHGJ9?ASIN=014242417X	Read it!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I truly enjoyed this book.  Realistic about these young people, who made the most of the short time they had to live while dealing with the effects of treatment and the roller coaster of symptoms and emotions that come with cancer.  Compassionate, funny, sad, but somehow upbeat and hopeful.  Really made me think about how to live with cancer (or any chronic illness) and the role that attitude plays.  I'm glad I read it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R14IY31QZCF3SZ?ASIN=014242417X	oh my god	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is amazing. I am planning on going to see the movie premier so I wanted to read it again before doing so and I may have loved it even more the second time around. It is certainly nothing ground breaking but it is profoundly real and enjoyable and heartbreaking and I just love it. If you are in the mood to fall in love with an unlikely love and have your heart both swell and break then this is the book for you.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3JPB0I5UF2BJQ?ASIN=014242417X	Best book I've read so far this year	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Green has created characters so real that I came to think ""I know these people,"" and now I will carry the memory of them and their story for the rest of my life.<br/><br/>Gives insight into the lives of young people with cancer.  After finishing this book, I told my granddaughter that reading The Fault in Our Stars should be a prerequisite for saying anything to a young person who has a possibly fatal illness.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RXT61ANN2RMDQ?ASIN=014242417X	Beautiful and heartbreaking	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I loved this story so much! The only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is because I just could not imagine some of the thoughts and dialog coming from a teenage girl. I understand she is very intelligent and insightful, but there were just some parts that were a little hard for me to accept, but that is the only negative I can give. I love Green's writing style and this book is one of the best I've read in a long time.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1SAAAR9DDR96W?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing book!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">My young adult granddaughter mentioned this book to me.  She is a fluent reader and loves good books, so when I saw it, I downloaded it to my Kindle app.  Good grief!  I couldn't put it down!  An engrossing, well written story...tragic yet hopeful, sad yet hilarious in places.  Wonderful dialogue.  You are immediately and easily placed in a caring postion about these characters.  I will be looking a more of this author.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1EMO6KZNDEA66?ASIN=014242417X	Liked it but didn't love it	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The premise of the book is this - Hazel who has cancer meets boy who only has 1 1/2 legs. you follow their budding romance as they both live life in the moment.<br/><br/>I liked this book. It was a good page turner and I couldn't put it down. If you are someone that has any experience watching someone battle for their life than I am sure you will love this book. I can almost guarantee that you will shed a tear or two.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R147P3KW075MBZ?ASIN=014242417X	I have never felt more miserable	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I probably shouldn't be writing this review immediately after reading this book, but Kindle prompted me to so here I am. I have never felt more miserable after reading a book in my life. Huge tears,and snotty cries, but it's a good miserable. The kind that tells me I can still feel, and that I might have gained something from this book. I think that everyone should take the time to read it. It's worth every snotty tear.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RIM8BLQ1WU7RF?ASIN=014242417X	What a tragically romantic story of truth	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">For someone to like this book, you have to be human. To be willing to reach out, take a risk and grab life while you have it is a side effect of its reading.<br/><br/>To be human is to accept the faults you cannot change, and live with the best intentions.<br/><br/>I loved this story for its gentle way of teaching. You will learn a bit about yourself when contemplating the meaning of what it is to be ""okay.""</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R16W3U8UABMY0A?ASIN=014242417X	Love the character development.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I absolutely love this book. It's a super sad story, but the character development of Hazel is superb. She is so sarcastic I couldn't help but laugh out loud several times while reading this book.<br/><br/>It's a heart breaking story about two cancer patient kids who meet and connect over Hazel's love for this one particular book. I love the fact that the characters seems so real with real interests, like reading. :)</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3I722CIVIH216?ASIN=014242417X	Absolutely Loved.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book had been on my list for a while now.  It had gotten so much popularity and then the movie came out. I'm not sure I would be able to get through the movie. The book alone made me laugh out loud and cry. I couldn't put it down and got through it fairly quickly. Such an amazing read about love and death and the different attitudes about the horrible facts of cancer from all aspects. My favorite book of the year!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3E44XRDKYK46T?ASIN=014242417X	lovely writing; but lacking in development	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The writer captured the teenage tone well without making them sound their age at the same time. However lovely this story and sad, it would have benefitted from developing the characters more deeply in order to feel, as readers, what they felt for each other. There was too much between the lines that the writer expected the reader to infer about how the characters should be perceived and how they perceived one another.</span>"

John green an amazing job!!!!!!!! when you love someone so much it's hard to let them go but in this book it makes you feel like you are in the book you are sitting next to hazel. I will always love this book ALWAYS.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3BEYU8PO20NFX?ASIN=014242417X	Sad but Moving	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">It was a Sad but Moving story it shows some if the reality of the world but leaves the story sensitive too like a tooth that gets hurts just by cold substances. I chose it as a Five Star book because people should read it and find the sensitive and moved parts in there own life. I would highly recommend this book. That's probably a lot COMING from an 11 year old but oh well I just love to read and experience New books.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R13VMCQ71ZX5U3?ASIN=014242417X	Just ok for me	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The book was ok.  However, it was hyped up so much, I expected better.  The story was good, although predictable.  The characters were sweet but I didn't like how they talked.  I feel it was extremely pretentious.  What teenager talks like that??  Maybe as an older adult I am in the wrong age group to appreciate the book.  I was going to go see the movie, but I think I won't now.  I've read and seen better tearjerkers.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1HJR5RBP5Z0RD?ASIN=014242417X	BEST BOOK KNOWN TO HUMANS!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is amazing, I purchased it on my kindle app as well as purchasing a hard cover edition. As many readers have already stated this book has truly changed my life and the way I take situations in. I have read it 3 times in 10 days, to say I'm obsessed is an understatement. It makes you laugh, cry, feel pain and believe in true love all at once. John Green is now one of my favorite authors without a doubt. Enjoy!</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1GHBOGTLQDMAV?ASIN=014242417X	Good book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I would recommend this book to friends.  It was a book with a more realistic look at what people actually feel and act like when they go through cancer.  I think too often books portray cancer patients in an unrealistic light and it isn't fair to those who are going through it.  The characters are developed well and it is a sweet story.  If you don't like sad stories this isn't for you.  I wish there was less swearing.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3IS2MIAKPET0Z?ASIN=014242417X	This novel is well rounded story of a modern teenage love story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">this book in my opinion is well rounded where it gives a twist to the cliché Romeo and Juliet plot. throughout the whole novel my emotions become up and down like a roller coaster. the personalities of the characters capture the personalities of modern teenagers and I connected to this book on a personal level. it's a great easy read and I recommend it to those looking for a heartwarming, heartbreaking, sarcastic book.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1VXIOEXOYFEP7?ASIN=014242417X	Rising above the stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">A best of 2012 book this reminded me of One Last Thing Before I Go. Good authors place their characters in tough or extreme situations and see how they react. In this case, the situation is teenage cancer. Green's characters are well developed and will leave you wishing you could spend more time with them. These teenagers can teach us all much about perseverance, love, and true friendship. I enjoyed this one immensely.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RBJD2QTRACQ3Q?ASIN=014242417X	I love this book.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I never really knew that much about cancer because I never really needed to know any thing about it. My grandma died of cancer before I was born but other than that I never I never encountered cancer until this book. This book opened my eyes to what could happen to people and does every day and it makes me just want to cry. I recommend this book to anybody and everybody. I hope it can touch your heart like it did mine.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1NFXMQKUH9WUX?ASIN=014242417X	Easy read, sweet but sad view of children dying of cancer	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was easy to pick up and read, I was into it right away. I learned something from it, since I haven't been exposed to children with terminal cancer. It was very sad, yet there were parts that were funny too. A good read for anyone that doesn't mind shedding a tear occasionally in exchange for learning about a struggle that someone else is going through. Compare to your own troubles, and you may feel fortunate.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R23GS9RY2W8JX8?ASIN=014242417X	Heavy Subject Matter - Well Executed	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Wow. This book was heavy, but really well done! I'm impressed by the way the author was able to discuss such serious and heart-breaking topics while keeping the overall attitude of the book relatively light. I appreciated the seemingly honest look at such a terrible disease - the ups, the downs, the stereotypes, all of it. Well done, John Green.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Difficult to write a review on such an incredibly sad story about two teenagers with a cancer diagnosis but this book was well written and I couldn't put it down. Being an oncology nurse, this book touched close to home and gave me more respect for the families and friends of cancer patients. I found this book to be an exceptional read and absolutely loved the humor behind the seriousness of what is actually going on.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1FP9C40T22YGS?ASIN=014242417X	AWESOMENESS!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I LOVE LOVE LOVE this novel. Don't get me wrong, I did cry. I would definitely read this book again, and possibly again. In other words I would revisit this novel. I will recommend this book to all I know. I read it on my kindle, but am seriously also buying it in paperback. All in all, I loved the characters, the setting, the emotions, even though it is a tear jerker, it still has a positive message (not depressing).</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3DRFFKPRYTO0L?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I felt the author did a great job of conveying the feelings and cancer patients and their families.  The romantic relationship and the sacrifices made for one another was very moving.  On a personal note, it is difficult for me to understand how people go through cancer without faith.  I struggled with the girl's unbelief and think the book could have been better with a faith aspect brought into it...even a small one.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2LSK66TG14C9Z?ASIN=014242417X	Not typical teens	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Of course they are not typical.  They have a death sentence hanging more closer over their heads than others who think they have forever.  Their demise is always with them.  That the couple were able to find joy in Amsterdam was brilliant.  It gave them a time away from glances of pity and a time to be the beautiful couple.<br/>Hazel Grace and Augustus while not real people will be remembered forever by many readers.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2I9Q7WSNT0CEM?ASIN=014242417X	easy read about a difficult subject.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book deals with a complicated topic with many depths involving the readers thoughts and emotions. Several times in the book the writing matched the complicated subject it was dealing with. Unfortunately the writing stayed at the same depth and couldn't be more intertwining with the emotional parts. To me the writer stayed some what shallow when I wanted him to dive deeper. That would of made the book a five star.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2779FSVVRGEN?ASIN=014242417X	In love with love	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This was quite an easy, lovable read.<br/><br/>I was constantly gushing over how charming, loving and amiable the characters in this book. On the outside it seems about impending death, but its all about a rich life.<br/><br/>This could be a great book for young adults to read and discuss with their parents. I'm 34 and found myself in tears.<br/><br/>I gifted it to a friend immediately.<br/><br/>GET THIS BOOK!</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2FKLVS4SY18ZU?ASIN=014242417X	Lovely, well-written story of love and loss	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault In Our Stars is a compelling, haunting story. Young teenagers mercilessly faced with their mortality, through relentless cancer, are unprepared to manage their own feelings, much less the responsibility of the loss they cause their parents. Add to that an unexpected, raw and honest connection that includes both intelligent, complex humor and love, it is an engrossing tale, that will stay with you for awhile.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RBY7HZDJYF6KN?ASIN=014242417X	Tissues anyone?	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is very insightful about what a person goes through with cancer., especially a young person.  I think Mr. Green did an excellent job telling Hazel's story --  It really is a great story of love and friendship and having someone's back. It is so telling of romantic young love without going to into detail. Very inspiring, and makes me think about what legacy I am leaving.  I truly loved it!  Grab your tissues!</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2LNKM2W5XZ2UI?ASIN=014242417X	good read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Great story. Yet extremely predictable. I quite enjoyed seeing how it all would work out in the end as well as picking up on all the hidden messages, foreshadowing, specific language employment and especially how young adults were portrayed. No matter how unrealistic their linguistically fortitude or philosophical wonderings. I suppose one could argue death has it's way of maturing even one so young and inexperienced.</span>"

It was in fact extremely sad.  It was so sad I couldn't cry.<br/><br/>Don't let the sadness make you back away.  This was a beautifully written story.  I could not put it down and I finished it in less than a day.<br/><br/>This story has opened my mind about life and how lucky I am to be healthy.<br/><br/>Please read this book. Please.</span>"

The emotions are painted in my mind as I read every paragraph, every sentence. It's so descriptive, and it almost seems as if you can feel everything that the characters are feeling. Except, they don't really seem like just characters... they seem like actual people that are popping out of the pages and YOU are the main character, and you're living in the story. All-time favorite! :)</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3KEMEH15WQ1LS?ASIN=014242417X	A Blessing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Cancer patients are more honest with each other than none cancer patients.  At least the medical world has begun to tell cancer patients they aren't cured, but are cancer free at a given point in time.  We all want to believe it won't come back, but in many cases it does.  The understanding, friendship, and love that these three teenagers bring to each other is truly a blessing to each of them, and to me as a reader.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2NTC0UAV98ODF?ASIN=014242417X	quick read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Read this over the weekend while camping. Figured I'd pick it up since it's so popular what with the movie and all.  I enjoyed it, it was a really light read, even for something involving cancer. This was a love story, and it was a short one. But it's a long-lasting one.<br/><br/>I had a feeling it would end with some ambiguity relating to some subplots. It was obvious foreshadowing throughout, but still enjoyable.</span>"

Almost everyone I know praised it and told how the ending made them cry etc. but I found it to be anticlimactic and stale. I actually thought there was something wrong with me for not feeling anything after finishing this book! To me, it was about nothing; the characters didn't change in any significant way and the story left me with no life altering information. So. Disappointing.</span>"

This book really told what people go through before they lose one they know they are going to lose. The Last Good Days are real.. you never expect which good days are the last ones. So I would recommend this book to anyone who thinks that they are losing someone to illness alone. It will let you know that your not.</span>"

The author here took the same tact and applied it to juvenile cancer.  The story line did get a little hinky towards the end but hey, they are getting a movie out of it, right?</span>"

But I must say, while the movie was stunning and beautiful, the book was moving and real (you know, for being completely fictional) I could easily connect to the characters and would recommend this book to anyone who loves a good story and doesn't mind a few tears shed. I find myself wondering how much longer Hazels journey lasted after the book ended.</span>"

This is a work of fiction, not a biography, so the characters are created. Their flaws are part of the experience of reading the book.  I was quickly sucked into the story and spit out the at the end, the following day.<br/><br/>Do not start this book if you don't have time to finish it in the same sitting.</span>"

Usually I'm not one to read these types of books, but this one especially tugged at my heart. John Green wrote the characters in a way that truly allowed you to connect with them and feel for them on their life journey. Don't want to give away any spoilers, but as with all books in this genre, get ready for tears. This one had me crying at a few different points. Need the tissues for sure!</span>"

The characters are cliché, pretty, and predictable. A little, ""Too cool for school"", for any chance at realism.<br/>That said, I didn't hate it, nor did I regret reading it. It also didn't make me anticipate the movie treatment either.<br/>So if you have a half day to yourself, a boring flight to endure, or being held captive, this might just be the answer.</span>"

It doesn't pander, it doesn't TRY too hard, and it doesn't pull any punches. You will love the characters, believe in them and cheer them on in their struggles. What you won't feel? You won't feel sorry for them - because they do not want, nor need, your pity. Great read. Have the tissues ready. It is worth the tears you will shed.</span>"

No spoilers, but the book was about a girl named Hazel Grace, who suffered from lung cancer. Her life changes when she meets Augustus Waters, who had suffered from cancer. At the end of the book, Augustus is hit with a travesty that made me cry, hate the book and love the book just the same. This book was so good that I would recommend it to my worst enemy.</span>"

Not always do the stars align, but they do often enough to make everyone have their miracle and this book said it all.

So when I heard about this book and the fact that it was going to be a movie and I saw the reviews I knew what I had to do.

I had to grab a lot of tissues and  I hope I can hold it together better when I see the movie but I doubt it. Great book....</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R32A41KFBLHALW?ASIN=014242417X	a really great read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Loved this book. it was touching in so many ways, and the characters were so beautiful developed and portrayed. The only criticism is with the age of the characters, both Hazel and Gus (16 and 17) seemed so much more mature and worldly than their chronological ages. Maybe this is how much faster cancer sufferers grow up when faced with terminal illness?? Beautiful philosophical love story - one everyone should read!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R35CL0209QKE28?ASIN=014242417X	We deserve better.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars is the story of one Hazel and her beau Augustus. Hazel and Augustus are “cancer kids” or children who have grown up under the effects of cancer. Hazel is depressed by her situation, exemplified by boring support meetings and over-protective parents, until the lovely Augustus looks at her. From that moment forth her life is changed into a simple romance filled with sacrifice, strife, love, and ultimately death. Hazel and Augustus are bound by a love of literature and travel across the Atlantic to pursue an obscure author to ask him questions about an obscure book. The author is a jerk until Augustus dies and then sees the errors of his ways. Hazel finds consolation in this and then the book ends.<br/> The author’s writing in the Fault in Our Stars shows a pretty consistent swing between deep and complex to the point of meaningful, and pretentiously pop culture focused from the very beginning of the book. Much of the first third of TFIOS is the characters seeing their lives in their own way. It was emotional for me to read about their experiences. The beginning of interaction between characters was so nuanced as to express that look a soldier has for his friend who survived a foxhole with him some twenty years reunion after the war has ended. The image of suffering together was touching.<br/> Unfortunately these beautiful depictions were often interrupted by “normal teenager stuff” which brings me to my first criticism of this book. The author seems to imagine teenagers with all the nuance of pre-teens from a show on the Disney Channel. Horribly self-focused, mean, shallow people dominate the early part of this book. The author seems obsessed with making references to a popular culture that his creative content dominates. His mix of old references with references to material that don’t exist makes for dialogue that is boring and pretentious.<br/> Also the first third of the book introduced a problem that ran through out it: tired romantic commentary. We all remember Twilight and how stiff and wooden the romantic prose of the two young lovers was, and TFIOS seemed to import the same lack of originality, personality, or spark. The explanation of feeling and impassioned romance between Hazel and Augustus was lacking. This made the entire plotline of their feelings for each other seem forced, almost to the point of ridiculousness. Within five pages of their romance I began to feel as though Hazel had made up Augustus in her mind as a lazy excuse for the boyfriend she wished she had. Alas, no such surprise.<br/> The glasses billboard from The Great Gatsby is considered to be one of the greatest literary devices in the history of written word. The reason being is that in the narrative of the Great Gatsby the glasses could represent many things, from God to depressive thoughts. Unfortunately the author does not leave such speculation up to the opinion of the reader in TFIOS. Augustus’ cigarette is a lazy device that becomes insulting to the reader when the author feels the need to explain through Augustus, the character using the device, that the device is indeed a metaphor. At this point the reader can rightly wonder why this device is still in the narrative. Why didn’t the author have Augustus simply say that this is why he uses a cigarette or put it as an aside in Hazel’s thoughts? At the explanation of the cigarette I began to lose hope in this book as a piece of literature. Any book that feels the need to explain the basics of English to the reader has lost faith in its reader as well.<br/> The first third of the book was generally enjoyable. However by the second third the problems with the plot and characters began to compound. The first is the problem with Hazel. Hazel is undoubtedly self-centered and self-destructive throughout this book. Her condition resigns her to death and this becomes her primary motivation throughout the book. However this motivation makes less and less sense as the book goes along. Hazel is in one moment motivated to not be with Augustus because of her condition (grenade) then in another instance she finds herself taken up by Augustus because of his love of literature. Her inconsistency with her decision making, electing not to follow any traditional forms of development make her hard to follow as a character.<br/> Another problem with TFIOS is the author’s desire to address plot holes by simply muting his characters. Hazel, who is going to Europe with Augustus and knows that he has had cancer, doesn’t stop to consider why his mom wouldn’t want him to go or why he would be in pain? She wouldn’t try to make sure that he is able to make the trip and return safely? Hazel’s mom doesn’t address the degenerating situation? Are we supposed to believe that no one noticed, or that no one cared enough to stop him from going to Europe to meet someone he doesn’t know?<br/> Hazel and Augustus’ devotion to the author presented in the second third of the book is almost cult-like. Everything in the plot after meeting him is marked by ridiculousness that compounds with every passing page. After the two main characters enjoy a semblance of romance and then have sex you know their relationship has climaxed and it’s all a predictable downhill from there. It is during the sex scene that you realize all the work that the author (Green) has done to disconnect you from his characters, that you are being jettisoned from the narrative instead of being rapped into it. You realize that halfway through the book you are in Amsterdam, with two cancer kids you don’t know, listening in on their pillow talk, after they met with an author you are made to care little about, and he treats them poorly. You know of course that dear Augustus is going to die, you have known it for about fifty pages. However the author expects you to then mourn his death.<br/> You also wonder why Hazel would mourn Augustus in the way that she does from the time of his death until about ten pages until the end of the book where she joins the readers in a state of apathy. Sure, Augustus is a savior figure complete with good times and good looks, but in all honesty where does her attachment to him come from. I realize that sexual relations develop bonds, so do international trips, and so do relationships, and so does cancer stuff, but in all honesty she knows from the very beginning how this relationship is going to end up.<br/> The author (Green) does an incredible disservice to the reader here by spending very little time explaining Hazel’s grief to the reader. Instead of diving back into the explanation of perspective from the first third of the book, the author instead brings back one of the weakest characters of the book, the author from Amsterdam. At this point the reader, having been jettisoned from the narrative now flies above it, looking down upon it with a sense of amused surprise almost as if to say, “Gracious, this is either a figment of Hazel’s imagination or a terribly written scene of mourning.” The author from Amsterdam does little to actually help with Hazel’s grief, or at least we think we don’t really know how she is grieving, and then leaves.<br/> At this point Hazel is and the reader are satisfied to resume their lives as if this tale with Augustus never happened.<br/> Other than blatant emotionalism, poorly written teenage romance, and descriptions of international locations The Fault in Our Stars has very little to offer readers.</span>"

Found the dialogue a bit mature for 16/17 year olds - at times had to remind myself of characters' ages... seemed more like people in their 20's. Also, sometimes voices were too similar... but overall a great read - a story that will stick with you long after you read the last page.</span>"

Character development captured me as a reader early on and the story made this a book that was very hard to put down.I knew it would be emotional and actually had an ""ugly cry"" moment.

However, after several coworkers and friends kept encouraging me, I broke down and bought the kindle version. I'll be the first to admit how I so wrongly misjudged this masterpiece.

A book is something you read, but never leaves an impression. A book would never leave a mark on a person and give a new realization to such a wide cast of people. The Fault In Our Stars is something special. It is a document of human struggle and states the simple truth of life. If you have any doubts about the greatness of this I must say you have probably never read it.</span>"

It's a very quick read that touches your heart. Several reviews found the dialogue to be inconsistent with our perception of teens, but I didn't find that to be problematic. In fact, these characters are teens who deserve to be a bit melodramatic, given their situations. I thought it was well written, and I'd recommend it.</span>"

I read the other John Green books and I would say that this is probably his best, yet.<br/><br/>DFTBA!</span>"

I wish I had read it before it was ruined by popularity. However, it still made my heart soar and ache, could not put it down, and like Hazel Grace, I want to know more of the story. Mr. Green has opened himself up to much angst ridden fan mail. Read this book. It is clever and moving and funny and heartbreaking and warm and real and hard and simple all at once.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3RYPWC8BVQAVM?ASIN=014242417X	Literally, an amazing book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I was emotionally unable to put this book down.<br/>I highly recommend it for clever storytelling, humor that actually did have me laughing out loud, and the profoundness in the concepts presented about our impact on one another.<br/>Having read all of his previously published works, this is absolutely my favorite book by John Green yet.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2XR8WUNH82OEG?ASIN=014242417X	It's alright...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">this was a great book aside from the way the trends talk to one another in it.  I can't remember EVER talking to my friends using words that are used in this book, which in my opinion makes it seem that's he's trying to hard to make the characters sound smart. Now with that being said, I did like the book a lot and would recommend reading it.  It's not on a MUST READ BEFORE YOU DIE book list, but is a good book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2H0GKCV707Q3S?ASIN=014242417X	worth the hype	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Well written and moving novel that keeps you invested from first page to last. I am the mom of a tween daughter for whom this type of book is targeted, and I can definitely see why it resonates so well for young people. On that note, this book resonates for any age group.  The character development is so authentic you feel like you know these people. The story will stay with you long after you finish reading it.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R333ZCVBAE91I8?ASIN=014242417X	Gives Hope that everyone can have that someone special!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I'm into mystery novels. When I read what this book was about, I thought ""how depressing"" but it's definitely not!<br/><br/>Everyone has that true desire of acceptance, being noticed &amp; maybe mostly, being &amp; feeling loved. This book takes you on a ride through a difficult part of life's realities and then holds sunshine behind for you to look through.<br/><br/>You'll love it! Just read it...I promise!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R32EQE6ZVB08EO?ASIN=014242417X	Speechless	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I'm not good at writings reviews nor have I ever written one that wasn't for school but this book, this book I think deserves one. John Green did a great job writing this book! I fell in love with the characters the moment they were introduced. I'm so glad that I listened to all the people who told me to read this book. The last thing I have to say is I will never look at the word ""Okay."" The same again.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2HSK81DH68A8W?ASIN=014242417X	Great book!!!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This type of book is usually something I don't read. I usually read fantasy. Anyways I wanted to read it after hearing how good it was. It was a great book and I cried a whole lot through it. I even found the movie online and watched it immediately after I finished reading the book. I don't think I can handle another book that sad for a while though. So when you're ready for a good cry this is the book to read.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3LKJ61502GGHX?ASIN=014242417X	My review of The Fault in Out Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This was a difficult book for me to read, but one that once I started I wanted to finish.  There was a lesson to never give up hope, to live life to the fullest within the realm of our ability. We never know what tomorrow holds and life will go on, the universe will still be here long after each one of use is gone. The ones who have gone before will always be loved and missed and will leave a void in our lives.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1JD47G6YC6PKX?ASIN=014242417X	Good read for a beginner	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I don't think this book lived up to the hype. I thought it was an average YA book. There was nothing ground-breaking about it. Nothing unique. Nothing I haven't read before. I never really fell in love with the characters which didn't help. If this is the first time someone is reading a book of the YA romance genre I think they would like it more than an advanced reader. It seems to be more popular among teens.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3R27MF1MY3PPM?ASIN=014242417X	Awesome!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is legit the best book I have ever read in my entire life and I highly recommend this book to the more advanced, older reader. I cried in this book, but I swear it is the best book, in my opinion, ever created. Although I didn't like how the end just happened. It was all of a sudden and you didn't have time to think about what just happened, and then you ball your eyes out. But, all in all, it was amazing.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1QEYSXTQHNYPT?ASIN=014242417X	Why do good books always kill the main characters??	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I really did love this book but... I had finished the DIVERGENT Series and the main character in that book died too. And this book was a beautiful writing and an excellent read but one of the main characters dies. I mean Don't authors know that no one likes that?? But still the book was still one of the greats in my world. So if you're looking for a heart touching romantic teen read this would be the one to go.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1LD641HMFKY1B?ASIN=014242417X	Best Book Ever!!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read this book because all my friends were always talking about it and because the movie is coming out and I see ads everywhere. So I bought it and I am not disappointed at all. I love this book so much. It made me cry and laugh at the same exact time. It shows life itself and John Green crafted that into a beautiful title. I have read this book 20 times and am recommending it to anyone who knows how to read.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RXG8PAJUXAOF1?ASIN=014242417X	Although the author tells us this is not a true story, the characters and their lives are most believable.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Two cancer patients lives come together in a support group for the terminally ill.  When the difficulties of their lives are exposed the emotions the reader feels are very real.<br/>The story is very well written. I found myself crying so hard that I had to put the book down to compose myself.<br/>The book is a wonderful story, soon to be released in the movie theaters.<br/>Do not miss the book nor the film!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2I3LA7VV5LH3C?ASIN=014242417X	Thank you John Green	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is truly extraordinary and is written by an extraordinary author it shows you just how short life can be and that it needs not only to be lived but loved and felt.

2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1JSS90KBAIRRQ?ASIN=014242417X	Heartbreak never felt so good.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Read this book in less then 12 hours. It was incredible.  I cried for hours. I am one of the many suffering from human consciousness. I too don't want to be forgotten and  feel like I'm always dying.  Not in the same way that they are dying  but none the less all of our conditions are terminal.  None of us can escape death. This book was  beautifully written i wish I knew a Gus and a hazel.  I guess now I have.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2C1M8WZ9WG8GR?ASIN=014242417X	I actually felt like crying for the first time.......EVER!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Ok I am not so big with the whole hormonal bla-bla-bla. But this story was amazing. The author made us care, and then he stole our love. He touched the imperfections of this life. He added the perfect combination of tragedy and humour. Yes it is a love story. I must admit I am pretty heartless in the face of death in books. My favorite character died. So what. But for the first time I actually felt like crying.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2XEVX5CN66UXO?ASIN=014242417X	Instantly accesible	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I told my students all about a book that uses teenagers dying of cancer to twach us about living life. Quirky, yet accesible chatacters who deal with, and not gloss over pain make the reader want to find out what happens next. Also, unlike most YA novels, the parents are three dimensional with plausible reactions to heart wrenching struggles. This book has no superheros, paving the way for any kid to be one....</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1SNP3PEV20NH3?ASIN=014242417X	Good Recommendation	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Poignant, sad, yet almost funny at times. Tells the love story of two teens with cancer, the friends in their support group, and the heroine's quest to find an answer to a cryptic ending in a book by a reclusive Dutch author. Recommended to me by my 18 yr old granddaughter, but not totally a ""young adult"" novel. It sheds light on how people react differently when faced with their mortality-young or old.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R54N3M56K7JOU?ASIN=014242417X	No Faults At All	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">My daughter is a 13 year old ""bookie"" She could not keep her hands off of Green's latest book. We had a conversation on how she now viewed cancer children. She never knew they were normal kids just like her. She said that Hazel was a normal teen, not a ""side effect"" She viewed Gus as Prince Charming and Van Houten as a jerk at the beginning. I would be lying if I gave a rate lower than 5 stars.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R29NFM33CIUWV?ASIN=014242417X	A beautiful read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The book is very touching and it certainly makes one appreciative of the things normally taken for granted. The only part that is not ""believable"" is the vocabulary. While I can appreciate it, I don't know of many, if any, 16 year olds with the ability to spout poetry with ease or know the definition of some of the""big"" words, much less use them! It's a small gripe either way. I certainly recommend reading it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R231IAU66KYAQ3?ASIN=014242417X	Profound!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Words can not express how I feel about this book.  I just finished reading it and I am speechless.  The ending was all it could be.  I will now see the movie and then read this book over and over. It contains so much in the words that cause you to stop reading and think about the meaning of the sentence, quote, poetry, life! Needless to say, this book is a keeper to be read again and again!  Thanks John Green.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3M939I76M0V3M?ASIN=014242417X	I have no words...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is... well... there are really no words to describe this book in the way I feel. I loved, it would be an understatement. Amazon did a great job getting it to my kindle app with in seconds and I was able to read it with no problems what so ever. If you have not read this book yet, I would highly recommend purchasing it from Amazon! The movie is also a great experience but I think the book wins. Enjoy!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1WLFWEW1D77V9?ASIN=014242417X	More wonderful than I expected...with quite a few tissues!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Lovely.  Moving.  Thought-provoking.  The characters may be fictional, but the sentiments behind them are real.  I appreciate the way Mr. Green approaches the character of Hazel and I find her way of thinking to be eye-opening and probably more true to life than some of us want to admit.  A gorgeous tale of sweet romance, that can happen to anyone at any age in any walk of life....have a box of tissues handy!!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3QI1XSSTBU8JU?ASIN=014242417X	The tears in my eyes	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">John Green is one author who really gets IT. I have read my share of tragic stories and I've lost more than my share of people to cancer, but this is not a tragic story in its core. No, it is a life-afirming one. While I sat crying over the ending, I was sitting on a bench next to a lake beside the person I love more than life itself, and I realized the depth and truth of the last lines: I like my choices too.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2OTPHZ1028EDM?ASIN=014242417X	This was amazing!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is a great book that everyone should read. It doesn't include characters that sit around feeling sorry for themselves because they have cancer, so that is kind of a relief. On the flipside, it includes a girl who fulfills her dreams (almost) through the love of her life. This book includes some language and suggestive content, so make sure you or who you are giving this to is mature enough to handle that.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R16V7F5TSBULOH?ASIN=014242417X	Perfection	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">God, this book is amazing. I loved reading it so much and I'm not a big reader so that's saying something. Please take the time and read it, I promise you won't regret it. You'll fall in love with the characters and not even noticing how important they are becoming to you. You think you know how the book will play out but you honestly don't. Take the time and really read the book. I found it truly outstanding.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3M6VPQKVWUPRH?ASIN=014242417X	Not what I was expecting.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">It's true that the subject matter is dark, but this was a surprisingly good read.  Laugh out loud funny more than once, which was completely unexpected.  It had a bit of the ""Dawson's Creek"" curse in that the teenage characters were all more insightful and well spoken than your average physicist, but that's easy enough to forgive because the story is so well crafted and the writing really pulls you in.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3CEGVNPHE8XS3?ASIN=014242417X	Beautiful and truthful	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is beautiful, truthful, and very moving. I usually try to avoid books involving cancer because my older cousin died from it when I was a little girl. She was 14 and hadn't really lived.<br/>Even though it broke my heart many times, I'm glad I read this book. It doesn't bring closure, but it does make it feel more real to me.<br/>I definitely recommend this book to everyone who is curious about it.</span>"

The book exceeded my expectations	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I chose this book for the same reason most people chose this book. It is a top seller, the movie was coming out, and most of my friends had read it and really liked it. The book exceeded my expectations. I couldn't put it down and read through it very quickly. I loved the characters and their story. I would recommend this book to anyone. It was sad but you just wanted to keep reading to see what happens next.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3162YL7DXKUO0?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in Our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Excellent! Couldn't put it down. The Author really identifies with the age group in which the character's reside. Having my own kids who are the age of Hazel and Gus. I could relate to their way of thinking, their slang, and their addittude's. The book also brings the reader in to the feeling of being a cancer patient. Not a feeling that I ever want, but for the book the empathy felt was very real and strong.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2VXK2HTF541RF?ASIN=014242417X	Beautiful, sweet, heartbreaking.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The story of Hazel Grace and Augustus, two teens who meet in a cancer support group. Author John Green has written a great book full of beautiful, poignant phrases that will be quoted by many. I was inspired to read it after watching the movie by the same title. It was much more than I expected for a novel for the teen/young reader category. I'm unsure if this book has won any awards but it definitely should.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2QNOPUAUE7P47?ASIN=014242417X	Adults should read this book too	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">My 15 year old daughter loved this book and the movie, so I read it too. You'll feel like you are listening to teenagers talk -- Green captures their language and angst beautifully. I'm still wiping tears from my eyes...it is a touching and wonderful story. As a parent the thought of losing my child is unimaginable. I feel like I need to go hug my kids right now. Parents, you need to read this beautiful book!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2GBUV8JLZ25XU?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault In Our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Be thankful for the life that you have, understand how difficult it can be for people that have a terminal illness, understand how to cope with those who are struggling to live a normal life, never knowing what tomorrow may bring.  My heart goes out to all those who are trying to work their way through the life they have been dealt and the families that are trying to make it just a bit easier for their child.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3ILLQWCN4ZZ9B?ASIN=014242417X	beautiful, honest, insightful	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I would recommend this to anyone who has ever loved, has ever felt like the universe had cursed them, has ever been a teenager, has ever thought deep thoughts about life and death and love and friendship, and really, to anyone. It is gut-wrenchingly honest and will change you forever. It is both heartbreaking and fun, a duo that many writers would find impossible. Truly one of the best books I have ever read.</span>"

I found the book interesting as the town in the book was my home town and accurate to places all except the hospitals which were, I assuming, do to privacy. I've read many books but none that were placed in my home town. So cool! Great book to discuss as it provokes a lot of things to think about regarding dying.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R20I34GMHVVFUL?ASIN=014242417X	Wow	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I really didn't want to like this book but because it was on the best sellers list for so long I broke down and gave it a try. I am really glad I did, this book is amazing. This book is so well written and conveys teenage sarcasm and weirdness wholly and completely which I never thought possible. This story is about love and loss and please do not read it in public like me. Tears upon tears. Highly recommend.</span>"

It is the favorite book/author of my 16-year old daughter.  I finally told her that I would read it (really to get her off my back).  I read it over a weekend (I would have finished it in one sitting, but I had to attend a hockey game, and sleep).<br/><br/>I thoroughly enjoyed the story of Hazel and Augustus, and will be going to read more of John Green's works!</span>"

Just writing this review and thinking about the book makes me want to cry. This book is PHENOMENAL. AND WHOEVER SAYS OTHERWISE IS HEARTLESS. I HAVE NEVER CRIED 7 TIMES FOR ANY BOOK BESIDES THIS ONE.

I needed something to entertain me on a 14 hour drive, and this was perfect. The narration was among the best I've heard.<br/><br/>I would rate the narration 5 stars on its own, but the book dragged out and was pretty cliche,  so I knock it down to 4.  FYI: There is cursing throughout and some sensuality.</span>"

I feel like this book has made me see things in a new way. I'd never thought how life would be for kids battling cancer, because I don't know anyone who has or had cancer. it's simply not part of my life. but now I can see how it is for people.<br/>this book is full of tears but it is also full of love, and well worth the tears.</span>"

Now lots of people cried but honestly I don't cry much and yes it was sad but just asking was I the only one that didn't cry while reading this?  I do consider this book to about anyone mainly teens!  I chose a 5 star rating because this book was great!  I recommend this book to anyone that is into romance and comedy because I thought it was funny at some points!</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Getting closer to death at 66 there were words that were the same feelings I had about leaving a mark about who I was and who I loved. The book was a little difficult to follow becuz of the strange words and book titles but the feelings of hazel were recognizable to myself. Death is so scary but after reading this book it felt like there is someone out there who has similar fears.  The book was well written.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RECYKK09D278J?ASIN=014242417X	Loved it!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The characters were well rounded, believable and heroic.  I fell in love with them all.  This is a story about love with all the bs stripped away, but more than that, it's a story of life and death. The bottom line is that love is the only thing of of  real importance we have or will ever have.  I believe it is the only thing we can take with us.  This book kept my interest from beginning to end.  Excellent!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1TI303JNI2EE1?ASIN=014242417X	How can you not love this book!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Now this book had me in tears! Just the love story is touching, I loved how Hazel knew she was grenade waiting to blow. She never wanted to hurt anyone like Gus. They loved each other no matter what. He was in love to the end and so was Hazel. But John Green has written a raw romance novel that will last for a long time. I will always remember "" It's metaphor."" I thank John Green for writing an amazing book!</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1LYVGQ3T3YBYO?ASIN=014242417X	It was good, but it's being hyped up for the movie.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I thought it was a good book. It was well written and the characters develop well. I feel like Hazel was a little flat, but i mean she has cancer what do I expect. It was definitely not my favorite book though. Maybe it's just because I don't really like romance novels. I don't regret reading it and I don't think it was a waste of time because I intend on seeing the movie, but I probably won't read it again.</span>"

But my girlfriend is really in love with this book, so she had me read it. I was reluctant bat first, but man. Like I say, I never read. But I started this book one night and finished it the next. It will really stimulate your emotions and make you think and view things from a different perspective. Very good. Very good indeed.</span>"

It didn't know age, don't care if you are in love but it will make you see things in a different light. This book opened my eyes to how my grandmother might have felt and it helps with the pain of losing her just a little bit. Would have liked to see more of the love<br/> side of this book but it just shows that cancer right now has the upper hand. Live every moment to the fullest</span>"

Not sure I was loving the ending - though it was in keeping with the story line - felt unfinished.  Guess that is what the author wanted us to feel as that is what the characters were feeling throughout the story.  But would recommend the story and definitely the author.  He has a very flowing way with his development and use of words.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2OVR1MBB49J4O?ASIN=014242417X	Beautifully Heart wrenching	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I wish I was as talented as Hazel in speaking my mind, but I'm not. All that I can say is that this book has left me bawling for hours on end in my room. I can't help but want more for the characters, but life isn't fair. Sometimes life just sucks, and this wonderful novel depicts that. But this book also shows that even in the hardest and worst of times, you can still have ""good days"". Thank you John Green.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3JLFQ2PN8765O?ASIN=014242417X	Not that great	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Very predictable ending not really worth reading. I was not flattered with the events within the book there are certain things that could be left out and something's that I thought would be in the book but were not. Plus there is no action at all I would prefer if something exciting happened because most of what happened was boring. I found it disappointing considering I had only heard good things about it.</span>"

I loved that I could cry without not telling my self not to cry but everything about this book screams that you will never find a better book and that is what is truly sad. I loved the book thank you John Green for this book.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RSCEPT4J2D7VP?ASIN=014242417X	FANTASTIC!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This story is one that captivates you from the very beginning. It's of those novels that you pick up and don't want to put down until you have read the whole thing! (The movie is fantastic, too!) I would recommend this especially for teenage/young adult women, but truly I think it could interest any age/gender. If you enjoy an amazing love story and don't mind crying your eyes out, this is the book for you!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RY977W4USJ943?ASIN=014242417X	Turn a stone to tears	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">An epic story full with thoughts of oblivion, nihilism, romanticism, true love, and the life thereafter. You fall in love with hazel Grace and Augustus to the point where you feel as though you've lost the love of your life as well. You will cry reading this novel. John Green proves that even fictitious characters and stories matter just as much as real ones. The feelings are real, and that is all you need.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3EPFFSR1A079K?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in Our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">In a word ""AWESOME"".  My Great-Granddaughter and I both loved this book.  She could not put the book down.<br/>It has some funny lines in it that keep the reader interested.  There are times you want to run for the tissues.<br/>My 16 year old Grandson wants to read it and he hates reading.<br/>I highly recommend this book.  The writer is excellent, keeps young readers interested and wanting more.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RSVJLRBTK5L2E?ASIN=014242417X	Not just for teenagers!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I resisted this one for a bit, since it was young adult and all over the news. I finally caved when I saw the book about the girl that inspired John Green to write this one, and that got me too curious to resist.<br/>Well, JOhn Green has a new (adult) fan! He can tell a potentially miserable story in a straightforward and even humorous way, and still teach you a thing or two at the end! I was so impressed.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3NROK19Q5YRDP?ASIN=014242417X	Impressively moving	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Author, John Green, writes beautifully from an honest perspective of a teenage girl.  I had to double check who the author was because I was sure it was being written by a female since the perspective was so accurate.  This book pulls you in and keeps you hooked.  At a couple of parts of the book I was sobbing as I read in bed.  I can't wait to see the movie, even though I know it won't compare to the book!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R18DSWQK3JHB6V?ASIN=014242417X	This made me know a great love and I'm happy I read this book.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read this book knowing I would cry. I new it was about death and love, but I did not know it would affect me in the way that it has. I know I have grown more as a person reading this. It has shown me more about being human and how we try so hard to be seen, but not how much better it is to see. I am forever grateful to the writer for this book and how much it has taught me about love life and our stars!!!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3M5D40OGUKMPP?ASIN=014242417X	Best Book Ever	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I can't even begin on how much  I loved this book.... It was just amazing... it's not just the story it's the way it's written... because along with happiness it brings sadness too. And I think that's what mostly grabbed readers, also not to mention how it involved the awareness of cancer, but with that it didn't revolve around the death and sadness it showed the true pure love within two cancer patients...</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1Y14ST2ILVHIP?ASIN=014242417X	Wow.  Loved it, just loved.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">What can I say?  I have three small children and rarely, if ever, get a chance to sit and enjoy a good book, but this one hooked me from the very start and had me carving out pockets of time wherever I could find them just so I could keep reading it.  My mother's day present was the chance to lie in bed and spend the morning finishing it.  Bliss.  The characters will stay with you long after the story ends.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1OEDZCLMEKV9W?ASIN=014242417X	My New Favorite Book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">When I read, I usually read books that really interest me. This was one of them. This book inspired me to read more than I used to. This says a lot. I would recommend this book to, honestly , everyone. It made me see things in a new light. Me and my friend have many discussions about the book and we're both very excited for the movie. Great job John Green, I'm looking forward to reading your other books! :)</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R29QP8CZFNPJAH?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I haven't cried so hard during a book in forever! A good cry though... one that makes you better. This book was amazing not only because it was a wonderful love story or because of all the heroic battles with cancer.. But because this book makes you look at the person you are compared to the people the characters are. It makes you want to be a better person and those are the types of books that are amazing.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2ORUNBEZHKBD2?ASIN=014242417X	One of the best books I've read!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I'm 23. I usually put down books that start out with a 16 year old girl since that is a little passed my age range. I decided to give this one a try since my friend recommended it. I read it in one day. It captured my heart.I couldn't get it out of my mind when I finished. I wanted to read it all over again. It's witty with sentiment. It will definitely leave you with a heavy heart but it's worth the weight</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1ELLTH06ACEHH?ASIN=014242417X	One of my favorites!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars is one of my favorite books! I have read it approximately 1 billion times! One of my closes friends has cancer :( but she is a teenage survivor and this is also one of her favorites. Some people are saying that this book is super cliche DONT LISTEN TO THEM!!!!!!!! In the book I cried my eyes out but during the movie i also cried(not as much as th book though) ALL AROUND FIVE STARS :)</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R12HR7VKFQ5BVT?ASIN=014242417X	i love it.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">i cant believe that after all she did love him and almost never got the chance to tell him it makes me sad. i never thought that reading this book would change my perspective on life, like we don't need to be remembered to keep living like the world needs to know you but i think that we all are remembered after all  just in different ways than most and i think that makes a big impact on the lives of most:)</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2XKM20GUMLYJC?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault In Our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I finished this book today, and felt compelled to write a review. I'm a 28yo wife and mother, and I have to say I enjoyed this book very much. It was truly a beautiful read, I laughed and cried throughout. I would absolutely recommend this book over and over. To me these characters could be real, the things they've dealt with would absolutely make a kid grow up fast, makes sense they'd be more like adults.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R5RY9RWQUZ06I?ASIN=014242417X	There are no guys like Augustus Waters	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I have never thought that I would fall into a romantic love affair with a character before.both Hazel and Augustus took me into their love story. It's funny because I never wanted to not read a book because of a characters untimely doom. But I seriously put the book down for like a week. I didn't want to lose Gus. The writing was heinous the characters were lovable. I will be reading more from this author.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3KDWIRNG4FLY8?ASIN=014242417X	Keep the tissues close	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">this was the best cry i ever paid for....at first i tried the sample, that by far sparked my interest.... i had to buy it.. so glad i did.. it was a very sad book, yet it gave such a wonderful insight to ""living each day to the fullest"".. i have already told so many.. hey you must read this.. only for them to respond ."" already have""... then we would just talk about it for minutes on end...</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RIBEWXPH2X2ZP?ASIN=014242417X	Touching	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book makes one think about the meaning of it all and the meaning of the small, what kind of impact or bruise we might leave behind, and it reminds us how fleeting life can be. To some, that may sound trite; yet, the fact remains. Cherish each day. As for what I didn't like, praying without believing didn't sit well with me personally but, as in life, characters can't always be what we want them to be.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R55VH161IDLQ2?ASIN=014242417X	Very touching story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I bought this book based on the positive reviews it had. It was the first book by John Green that I'd read. What a beautiful story and well written. Although the main characters in this story are dealing with cancer, it is not a typical 'cancer' book. Very thought provoking. I plan on reading this again sometime. I found out recently that they are making a movie based on this story - should be interesting!</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3JYIP6C698E82?ASIN=014242417X	Gripping book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Great story, crisp writing, and a plot line that moves along nicely.  I couldn't put it down.  If you're prone to tears, you'll cry.  But I like how John Green treats the adolescents in this story (ages 16-18 or so) with respect for their intelligence.  So it's not one of those breathless stories featuring a boy-crazy female protagonist.  Instead, it's a raw and powerful encounter with both love and death.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RR3ZML11AIMSR?ASIN=014242417X	READ IT... NOW!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Ok... I was a little afraid to start reading this book. It's been recommended to me by so many different people and (of course) it has amazing reviews. Honestly, I was a little nervous that it wouldn't live up to the hype but my oh my was I mistaken! I loved loved loved this book! It was sweet, funny, touching, emotional, and just simply fantastic! There isn't much more I can add other than READ IT... NOW!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RM3UR5EG2G83O?ASIN=014242417X	A Poignant, Life-filled Story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Given the topic of the book, it is amazing how John Green wrote a story that is at once sad and life-validating.  This could have been a three hankie book, but the tenacious grip on honesty that drove the main characters and their refusal to become maudlin disallowed pity.  As Augustus says, while he mourns not making a mark on the earth, Hazel is proud that she walks lightly.  Truly, a remarkable. read!!!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R16RK57Z3VVHSP?ASIN=014242417X	A Beautiful and Surprisingly Humorous Story!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I started reading it and literally couldn't stop. You WILL find yourself smiling through tears. A frank take on the business of dying which most conveniently forget we are doing every day at varying velocities.<br/><br/>Incredibly touching and funny in the most devastating way. I dare you not to fall in love with these characters!<br/><br/>""that metaphor is prohibited on this flight""...classic.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R39B3NE1T02ZA7?ASIN=014242417X	Bring your tissues; you're going to need them.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I think the writer uses a very pretentious tone in his writing, but it seems to fit the stage of philosophical development that the characters find themselves in as they navigate through the acceptance of their mortalities. For me, every word in this story cuts your soul like a knife. You cannot bear the anguish it causes you to experience, but, ""that's the thing about pain. It demands to be felt.""</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R17SSXB4FR9MO3?ASIN=014242417X	Llmcdonaldrn	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read this book because my 21 year old daughter asked me too. It is very good all though so deeply about life, really makes one think about choices you make in your life. The two main characters did not get choices. They were given diseases very young in life. But these two wanted to feel what real love is and they really did. Not physically but emotionally. I recommend to all ages. Not just young adults.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R20SFC53U3UKGD?ASIN=014242417X	You must read with a box of Kleenex.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I wasn't going to read this book because it is a sad book, but it's so much more than that. What a joy to meet two funny, insightful young people with old souls, who, because of their cancer, must live their lives in a short number of years instead of lifetimes. They make me want to take more time and see people more clearly instead of being around people and missing who they are. You Must Read This book!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3H34K2GUC5Z55?ASIN=014242417X	One of the most amazing books ever written.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is so good. It's not a sappy love story where everything goes your way and everything works out. It describes life, and it has real opinions real feelings, and not just some life that goes perfectly, just the way you like it. Some people get mad because of what happens, but that's the thing about pain, it demands to be felt. And John Green has definitely left a scar. Amazing book. Truly amazing.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2SZU3WJABTPHS?ASIN=014242417X	Gripping!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I smiled, I laughed, I sighed, and I cried (like a baby, mind you). From the moment I started reading to the moment I read the last acknowledgement, I didn't put the book down, and five-ish hours later I sit staring at my screen with puffy eyes and a stuffy nose. John Green did a beautifully amazing job writing this story. I would reread it in a heart beat if I had more tissues. Undeniably worth the read!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RK53ZWE53TXQA?ASIN=014242417X	A revelation	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I love the storyline,the characters and the simplicity of the emotions..more than that I loved the way the writer strings his sentences together..it's one book I can read again and again!<br/>If you think it is about some bad ass cancer fight then you are wrong..it's a true to life book..it's about a struggle every human being will go through..<br/>I have basically found my favourite book of all times..</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RBL879X1Q0HNA?ASIN=014242417X	Heartbreaking	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">First of all, I am not giving this book give stars because it didn't deserve it. At the beginning when Hazel meets Augustus, and invites her to his house, the dialogue introducing the invite was a little weird but it was funny too. Next the end was heartbreaking, but John Green never got you SO close to the characters to the point where everything inside you would die if something happened to one of them.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1Z54G3ET6W7FI?ASIN=014242417X	I have never been more satisfied with a book...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I rated this book a five because there was no way I could rate it higher.<br/>The plot is interesting enough that it is very easy to finish this book in one sitting on a lazy Saturday.<br/>The characters are extremely relatable. I laughed. I cried. I laughed and cried simultaneously. I have never felt so connected to a book or to fictional characters in my life. it's definitely worth the money and time.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RSCXUKGHV7QLO?ASIN=014242417X	loved it	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">For someone newly diagnosed with heart failure, you wouldn't think the story of a teenager lugging around  an oxygen tank would be appealing.  In fact, it was just what the doctor ordered. The book reminded me of nick hornby's long way down it's its treatment of a serious subject with lightness and humor.  My tween niece gave me the book and I did not find it childish at all. John green is a solid writer.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2LAG140X6U083?ASIN=014242417X	Wow	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I have always believed that knowing more about others, helps us to understand ourselves better - a mirror reflecting who we are or think we are. The characters in this book exist in all of their fragility so we can accept the fault in our OWN stars. Green has a novel about vulnerability that leaves us feeling triumphant and hopeful. Type of story I just had to finish and will choose my own perfect ending.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1G2MEB0MR8PSN?ASIN=014242417X	BEAUTIFUL STORY	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This story definitely deserves a five star rating. it is beautifully written.... it is a tear jerker and has an amazing vocabulary... Give this five stars because it is so realistic and the context of the book is just... beautiful... I fell in love with the characters... John Green actually made me feel like I knew Agustus Waters. This book is amazing. It definitely a must read. I read it on under a week.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2S2VUI4RQAZT?ASIN=014242417X	Best Book Ever	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I would reccomend The Fault in Our Stars to anyone. I have now read it ten times, and each time it got better. I cried every time, even though the book is fictional. I've decorated notebooks and I have a light blue beaded bracelet with an infinity charm (""Some infinities are bigger than other infinities""). The Fault in Our Stars is my new favorite book. Read it. It is well worth spending the money on it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1BWNGF5NTFEB2?ASIN=014242417X	Left a lasting impression on my heart.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I cried, I laughed, I am pretty sure at times my dozing husband next to me probably wondered what the hell was wrong with me and what I was reading on my kindle. As someone who has lost a close family member to bone cancer, this book hit me extremely hard. I found myself sobbing and unable to read through my tears at times. I won't forget this book anytime soon and look forward to renting the movie soon.</span>"

She had 49 days from the date of her diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. I was horrified to witness her rapid decline and attendant suffering. This experience, together with the reading of John Green's book, has reawakened my commitment to do what matters. That will mean finding a way to help and counsel those dying of cancer.<br/><br/>Jon Futrell</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3NE79DBDR24V6?ASIN=014242417X	Absolutely Beautiful!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I was hesitant at first to read this because everyone was reading it and it seemed like another typical love story about two teens who have cancer.  But now that I have finished it I am very pleased with it.  John Green writes in a way that keeps you turning the page! The characters are very likable and easy to connect to, and the story is just absolutely beautiful! I would recommend this book to anyone.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R303SMHRUCGT0K?ASIN=014242417X	Awesome and highly recommended!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book made me laugh and cry.  One of the few I've ever read that could extract so much emotion from me by making me feel as though I knew the characters personally.  This is the first book I've read by John Green, but it won't be the last.  I love his writing style, humor, intellect and his knack for keep you interested from the first page to the last.  I would highly recommend this book to everyone.</span>"

The honesty in which this book talks about death and our unnatural yet completely natural fear of dying, being forgotten is altogether heartbreaking and comically ingenious; a rare blend of realism meets the desire to be more than a mass of cells.<br/><br/>Anyone would benefit from time spent in the lives of these characters, no matter their age or literary tastes.</span>"

The author captures the voice of two teenagers going through one of the saddest and hardest cards one can be dealt in the game of life. This book is inspirational and it hurt the entire time when reading because it was so blatantly honest and true. My heart aches but I ask that everyone read this book.</span>"

Just I read this with my sisters an  it was perfect we all agree. We both wanted to cry and we did a little. But how she hated the ending of AIA I hated the end of The Fault In Our Stars. Just because it was perfect. It was bad but it  not hoe I wanted it to end. I never read but I read this in 2 days. Like you can't put It down.

During the book they make you love Augustus and then they throw him away. I recommend this book to the people out there who have a heart and may be experiencing cancer. Just read the book and cry, I learned that it is okay to cry as I read the book.<br/><br/>-Brenna age of 12</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RSGV9MKL59759?ASIN=014242417X	Best book of my year	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is the best book I've read this year. I would hug the author if I met him. Excellent for not making cancer a cliche, for showing that people with cancer are capable of being fun until they die. Simple writing, unpretentious and very authentic characters - he got the teen mentality to a tee. A book that a high schooler, a middle aged person, and a granny would all love to read. Well done John Green!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3Q2QR66BEIQYF?ASIN=014242417X	A simple but yet thought provoking story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Although this was a simple read, it was thought provoking.  Young life, young love, the simple things and then there is cancer and death.  This book made me laugh and cry...it brought back memories of when my young love was simple and not as hard as the characters in this story.  Although cancer and death can be devastating, the characters put a twist on it...to love fully and be thankful.  Great story!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2NVPQTI94DH59?ASIN=014242417X	Not my cup of tea	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The story is about a girl dying of cancer who falls in love with a boy dying of cancer and how they try to keep living. The story was interesting, but the girls attitude and point of view towards a lot of people and issues were snarky and off-putting. The frequent curse words only furthered my dislike of the novel. Nothing really good to say. I would say save your time and money and read something else.</span>"

A shooting star represents the beauty in the characters in this book. Absolutely amazing character development and intelligent writing. I am please that so many middle school and high students were drawn to this book as I am a teacher and welcome such beauty in literature.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R14RMFW51F04BE?ASIN=014242417X	Wonderful  book!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was so beautifully written, and a story so real. One which we all have to face in this life of ours.  The characters were so real and good to each other to the best of their abilities.  Ihavegone through several health crises, and have had friends go through many as well, some with their children. The bottom line is to just do what you can to help one another and live every day to it's fullest</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3OPI9SFM95DEB?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing Story, must read.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is the first book I have decided to read based on the fact I couldn't wait for the movie to come out in June. I was drawn in right from the start, but as things started developing within the story and the characters I felt myself feeling as much attached to these characters. I cried when it was reasonable to cry laughed and smiled in the same manner. This is a excellent read, and great summer book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RAO5BUVVCCLNQ?ASIN=014242417X	It was magnificent.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I love this book so much but I do have to say that I have questions like Hazel and Augustus did for AIA. What happened to Hazel? When did she die? Did cancer kill her off? What happened to her parents? And the questions keep piling on from there. I'm only 13, and I love writing. So this book was an inspiration that maybe one day I'll write a book as good as this one. This was magnificent and I loved it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1CA3ALFLZD6KF?ASIN=014242417X	Just quiet and lovely and oh, so sad...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">In short, a truly beautiful read. I am a very impatient reader, and even if something is not holding my interest, I want to know what happens. I have been guilty of skipping ahead just to be  the ending (a terrible habit, I know). Point being, I had no desire to skip to the end and see who dies or who doesn't. It was good enough that I happily read each word right to the end, and was  satisfied totally.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3GG2GDP3L0D5I?ASIN=014242417X	A Great Book for Hipsters	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Let me start off by saying that this truly was a well written book.  I enjoyed it for the most part.  However, the hipster-Debbie downer-making fun of anyone who has a positive outlook on life (yes, even on life with cancer)-criticizing people who try to comfort others-bit really gets to be too much in my opinion. Once again, this a very well written, captivating, emotional story; just not for everyone.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1IIOPYAUZQVXY?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is the most amazing book I have ever read. I could not put it down I was literally reading this book any chance I got. If you like romance novels this is a great book to read. If you have recently had a death in the family as I have this is a perfect book to read. And finally if you know someone with cancer or someone who has died of cancer this would probably be the best book for you to read.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RLQOWOC75MFKD?ASIN=014242417X	Perfection	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was incredible. John Green draws you into this story like no other. The relationship between Augustus and Hazel is just perfection. You really get to know the characters, which I truly appreciate. This book will make you laugh and cry, but seeing the journey the characters go on is worth it. If you haven't read this book yet, you need to stop reading this and go buy it, you will NOT regret it!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2VDQ3XDDP4GM7?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Best book ever and I read a lot. John Green is right up there with Sarah Desson and J.K. Rowling.for like 2 hours I was laughing then crying and crying and crying and then laughing with my sister as I read it with her. I don't think I was prepared for this intense or great of a book! Thank you John Green for brining an amazing book into the world. You made your mark on the world. You will be remembered.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2IJDBBR7GNALY?ASIN=014242417X	An Insightful View	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book left me a bit unsettled, and philosophical, which I think is good. The author brought me through his interpretation of dealing with the death of a loved one who died too soon. I connected and felt the loss, but also saw from the perspective of one dealing with cancer, how stupid we can be when we don't know that, we don't know we are blind to situations we have never wrestled with.  Well done!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3BJS66HRVDDRQ?ASIN=014242417X	A different perspective	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I enjoyed the book. A different perspective of life; we forget at times, for those who are in a majority, the struggles so many go through, to take a breath, to walk, to smile, to love, when cancer strikes. Mostly, we forget the struggle to be real and authentic as a person... and The Fault brings us to that spot.<br/><br/>We're all in this together; no one gets out alive. Love and live while you can.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RXXY0QR3HF16A?ASIN=014242417X	A great way to introduce audio books	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">It isn't me that loves it - I have it in Middle School, where it is introducing some kids to books that do not bog them down.  Others have borrowed it as they have read the book, or are reading the book, and like the narrative to go along with their own reading.  They love this novel so much that I have been convincing some of them about listening to books when they are stuck in the back seat of a car.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1NYQXKTHN8I7X?ASIN=014242417X	I Don't Get It	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I wasn't particularly moved by this story. Then again, I've outlived the days of my teenage angst so I felt pretty separated from the characters. Also, John Green, bless his heart, tried his darndest to be ""deep"", but most of his prose were reaching. I think I'll pass on any more of his novels and stick to YA authors who don't pretend to have the same depth as Socrates. In the end, I give this an ""eh"".</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1GOCKYU4Z1GXC?ASIN=014242417X	Late night tearjerker each time	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Each time I've read TFIOS, I've read it in the middle of the night. And I've cried just as much as the first time. There's something beautifully tragic to fall in love as Hazel does with Gus, only to have your heart wrenched out and you wonder, ""This must be what it would feel like.""  Because that's what I say each and every time. 5 stars for the beauty and emotion and little infinity of TFIOS.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R27FH6TSGEUZZP?ASIN=014242417X	Sad love story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This the best book in the history of ever. I could read it over and over again an  never get tired of it. I've always thought things similar to Hazel, and John Green put them in words an  published it. I cried during the last 3 chapters because it was so sad. I felt like I was there in the book. I am so attached to it and may read it over and over again until it loses its meaning (which it never will).</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3TW4R58D68WGP?ASIN=014242417X	A easy read.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read the book because my 12 yr old wanted to read it and I wanted to make sure it was appropriate for her. It was a fast and easy read. I felt it was well written and I enjoyed reading it. That being said I only have reservations with my daughter reading it because of the cussing. We don't speak using fowl language or watch things that have it in it so that is my only hesitation about her reading it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1AJDEGFRM2TXP?ASIN=014242417X	difficult and surprising	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I was worried when in started reading this book that I was going to need an entire box of tissues and it would be one of ""those books"" about someone with a terminal illness.  But not only was it not the typical cancer story, but it was interesting, funny at times, heartwarming and even romantic.  I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys reading.  And you may even did a few surprises, wh</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/ROJR2ATAEIN9V?ASIN=014242417X	Nicely written tear jerker	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Nicely written tear jerker. This YA book does not condescend. Any adult would enjoy the story and how it's told. I suppose it's ""YA"" is because the protagonists are teenagers, thus making them more identifiable with those from that age  bracket. That said, this is an appealing novella. Green's writing style is clever, and his plot is fast moving and thoughtful. Everyone should enjoy reading it,</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R34A2DVEPXA9WZ?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">It took me about 4 days to read this. It was one of the best books I've ever read. I cried a lot though, so prepare for tears. This made me realize things about the world. About illnesses such as cancer. About living life to the fullest, and leaving marks instead of scars. It is a romantic book that anyone over the age of 10 should read. Warning, the f-bomb is dropped, but only once. Lots of symbolism.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1NVPGKT2DRPYD?ASIN=014242417X	Excellent read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The fault in our stars was a very quick but thoughtful read. It made you want to keep reading to see what happened to the characters. one of the reason why I liked it so much is because whenever you read stories about kids with cancer they always trying to inspire you to be a better person, but The Fault in our Stars was just a love story between two sick kids and the simplicity of that was refreshing.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1CX30ES8P24E3?ASIN=014242417X	Quick, deep, it left a scar	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I don't know what else I can add aside all the other reviews I read on this book. Yes read it, it will go quick, it'll make you cry and remember your first love. It made me think back to the many first experiences I had and how grateful I'm of having those memories. The book shows a different side of cancer, the true side that everybody knows but nobody talks about.  Read the book, you won't regret it.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2J5XA0TKXDRIS?ASIN=014242417X	Fantastic book, a must read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I generally read fantasy only.  I have followed John Green on YouTube for about 2 years and after hearing so many good things about this book, I knew I had to read it.  The characters are so real to me.  The pacing of the story was wonderful.<br/><br/>There are a lot of laughs in this book, but be warned you will cry as well.<br/><br/>This has been one of my most favorite reads in a very long time.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3IWE0E1OPQ5B4?ASIN=014242417X	Very Smart and Emotionally Powerful	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I don't typically read young adult novels, but this one came highly recommended. I'm glad I gave it a chance. It features smart, likeable characters that give us the opportunity to view the world through the perspective of teenagers with cancer. Such a description may make this novel sound like a downer, but its not - its uplifting. John Green developed characters that we enjoy, learn from and respect.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R18A3XWQJRTL1V?ASIN=014242417X	Nothing short of amazing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">You will laugh and you will definitely cry. I fell in love with this book almost from the start. Witty, clever, funny and endearing... these words describe John Green's writing, his characters and most importantly, the love story that unfolds before you between Hazel and Augustus. These are the types of characters that stay with you long after you finish the last page... on your mind and in your heart.</span>"

I believe I had only read the first chapter when I picked it back up yesterday. I am determined to ""rent"" the movie from Amazon Prime later today. Book to movie is what pushed me to finally get at it. I am interested to see what actor plays her emotional father. I wasn't surprised by the ending. I did find it was predictable.</span>"

The  love story is beautiful and sad personally the movie is fantastic read the book first so your prepared in the movie so u embarrass your self. But I recommend this book but if you do read it always have a tissuose box next to you but if John green does every read this I have few a questions about the book just like Hazel Grace</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2J4M4O7GHQN0K?ASIN=014242417X	a love story for teenagers which older adults will love too	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was written in a conversational style, depicting the relationship between two young terminal cancer patients. It was written in a light and witty style while taking its subject matter seriously.  The book is at once easy to read but profoundly deep on many levels.<br/><br/>I would recommend it to young adults of all ages and older adults too - anyone who appreciates a beautiful love story.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R403VN8IVOSC2?ASIN=014242417X	AMAZING!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It plays with all of your emotions, specifically sadness and hopefulness. I am one who does not get very emotional reading many books. I may feel a knot in my throat and ""feel for"" a character in a book but a few tears were shed while reading this book. I cannot wait to see the movie. Definitely won't be better than the book but I'm sure I will shed a few tears.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2NBQ4SS79AH63?ASIN=014242417X	extremely well-written	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I am usually skeptical about mushy teen love novels that wind up on the screen; however, this book was a wonderful, innovative surprise.  The characters are delightfully ""teenagery"" to borrow a term from the author, and the allusions to literature and history keep us sharp, as readers.  I am definitely including the study of this novel in my classroom curriculum.  I DARE someone to contest it!</span>"

I have my own Fault in the Stars that keeps me battling with the forces trying to control my mind and Destiny or what I think my Destiny should be. I do have a greater hope in the fact I believe in a risen Lord and I do believe in life after death. So Hazel and Gus not being able to ever focus on a positive ,even their unconditional love, became my grenade.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I cannot begin to explain the words that I read it through due to the fact that they were very emotional and advanced I recommend this book for young adults and anyone younger will possibly not get the concept of the book an amazing novel I fully understand if there's a movie coming out and while i want to go see it I know that nothing will be able to amount to this amazing novel I highly recommend it</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3HYSUGBET3B2O?ASIN=014242417X	Oh my word	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I am in tears, having just finished this book. I'm pretty sure this is one of those stories that will stay with me forever. This is an amazing love story, and most of the time you forget it's muffin characters are teenagers. So wise beyond their years.<br/>I loved the dry, witty, sarcastic style of humor. This is one of those books that you can't skip one word or you might miss something incredible.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1CZ2WUPF7JV7H?ASIN=014242417X	So much more than teen literature	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I love John Green's candid writing style and his story development. He has a real insight into teenagers; their angst and their relationships. The characters are well developed and real. This is a terrific book - regardless of category. I am 40 years older than the protagonists yet i could fully relate.  Recommended to me by my 17 year old daughter, I understand now why she was so moved by this book.</span>"

I know it's fictional; but, it is full of truths, advice, and relevancy to real people living through real problems. I can't imagine facing these fears day to day. I can't imagine fearing these fears day to day. It's uniquely interesting to those of us who think what we do and say helps individuals with loss cope. It's really a great book.</span>"

I am thrilled for Mr. Green that he is enjoying meteoric success with this beautiful story. You'll love Hazel's storytelling and will both laugh and cry as you read this book.

I ignored the fact that I had bodily functions and things to do (like walk on a treadmill). I laughed and cried and felt things my heart still can't decipher. My heart aches for Hazel and soars for Augustus and all of the characters created niches along with them inside of me that only book characters of brilliant writers and excellent development can.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1FRV0CUSCCR5M?ASIN=014242417X	Wow	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I am speechless. this book was everything I could have asked for and more. in the three days it took me to read this novel I was put an emotional roller coaster I thought was only going up until the extreme plot twist. I've never had a book make me think more about life and all its extremities. this book is a great read for anyone. it does not disappoint. it's truly a classic and more should read it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R38NP8MFKMV5HF?ASIN=014242417X	A beautiful book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">When I read this book was about a girl with cancer, I almost didn't buy it. Who wants to be depressed? But John Green managed to write a book about a cancer survivor that was both funny and insightful--and not in a cheesy insightful kind of way, but in a real, it makes you stop and think kind of way. I loved, loved, loved Hazel Grace Lancaster, and I think there's something in this book for everyone.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2Y7SW0LYTTNYK?ASIN=014242417X	Incredible.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book. This book is about death. And dying. And living. The way Green weaves the words into this amazing life of a story almost makes death sound romantic. For me, this life of a story is not about living each day to the fullest, but more about the mark you leave behind. The mark you leave is not about the quantity of loved ones or accomplishments, but the quality. Green is an incredible author.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3COK1S7A7UI55?ASIN=014242417X	the Best Book I've Ever Read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I loved every second of this book. I was so happy in the beginning, and about 100 pages before the end, I literally could not stop crying. Even a few minutes after I was in tears for no apparent reason. (This is truly significant due to the fact that I don't even cry at movies.) This man is an amazing author with INCREDIBLE talent to put me through such an emotional roller coaster in only 321 pages.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R26VTTU0Z9N6JG?ASIN=014242417X	Refreshing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I really love the way Green set this book up. The main character is refreshingly honest about her day to day struggle with life. Green portrays Hazel as smart and strong while still portraying her as a 16 year old who is seeking answers about life. Hazel seems accepting and more concerned about what would happen to the people in her life than focusing on her predetermined fate of living with cancer.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R18H85JPLC54FY?ASIN=014242417X	I can't think of a word that portrays this book correctly	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book has left a mark on me for the better. It teaches you to realize that life isn't what it's said to be. You have choices and sometimes you need to choose the less pleasant one, only for the sake of  the world and the people around you.<br/><br/>This book was unexplainably wonderful and I would suggest it to anyone who is above the age of 13 possibly, or at least mature enough to handle it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R8KUNOAAY4LIV?ASIN=014242417X	Awesome book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">this book is truly amazing. I'm kind of a to the point type of person so yeah. I had no idea I could hate the idea of the suffering of a fictional character so much but I did. I never cry for books but this one I wept like a pathetic teenager over twilight but my sadness had more meaning I think. this book is kind of a total cliche but honestly I find that kinda comforting so yeah read enjoy and cry</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2GCW2P7Q76O8J?ASIN=014242417X	No Fault In This Story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">John Green is a fascinating writer, with just the right amount of quirky sarcasm and humour. His characters never fail to capture my heart, and his phrases, and the images they evoke, always manage to cling to my thoughts long after the story is over. Green doesn't do light reads, and this one is poignantly, sad, but still with his trademark ability to capture life in its fulness, both good and bad.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RRP7C3PYW2RIZ?ASIN=014242417X	beautiful	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was recommended to me by several of my friends and all they would say is you're going to have a breakdown at the end. This book like others John Green have written pulls me in slowly and then I'm hooked. I could not put this book down. And it was so original. You will definitely cry throughout the end but it is worth it. He is a wonderful writer and I cannot wait to read more of his books.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R20FKTMKRPXRZT?ASIN=014242417X	It's alright	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I love John Green on Youtube and I really wanted to love this book, unfortunately it fell flat for me. The writing felt so forced, like John was trying too hard to make the characters seem deep, interesting, funny and witty. The romance between the characters was too unbelievable and the dialogue between the two lovebirds didn't seem to flow very well. It was an okay book but wasn't really worth $4.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2FO07MWPAI6TL?ASIN=014242417X	Honest, tragic but funny	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Having never read a John Green book before, I was pleasantly surprised by his writing style.<br/>It's beautifully penned in a language we can relate with today and yet it captures the emotions of the two protagonists. Your heart goes out to them, not because you feel sorry for them but because how extremely tragic and brave their story is.<br/>It's a wonderful read an will definitely recommends it</span>"

This book as absolutely amazing, for bing my first John Green book I absolutely want to continue reading his books. When I finished the book, I asked myself will: we ever find out what happens to Haze Grazes life just as she wanted to know what happened in An Imperial Affliction.

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I decided to read this book since I heard so much about it, and wanted to read it before seeing the movie.  I thought it was good!  It really gave me a perspective into a teenager's struggle with cancer and it was pretty funny; John Green's good at tapping into what teenagers are thinking.  I had read ""Looking for Alaska"" before and really liked that one too.  He's an edgy and funny writer.</span>"

In reality, I found this gem to ultimately be about the business of living-not just living,but living life to the fullest.Deeply insightful, the book delves into judgements, choices, love, sickness, loss, emotions, grief and life triumphant. Do yourself a favor and add this work to your reading list!</span>"

The plot draws you in, you feel connected to the characters. Whatever they feel one can't help but have emotion as well.

It makes you think about your own views and beliefs, as well as present other ideas one may have never considered.<br/><br/>AMAZING!!!!!!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RZ3T61F63I629?ASIN=014242417X	Wow!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This novel is beautifully written, with a true sensitivity to the trauma of the teenage years and the scourge that is cancer. The poesy is lovely and the metaphors sing. I loved the understated heroism of the characters, without turning them into myths. I knew that this book would be sad, but it didn't trade on the cancer to create the emotional response. It just felt real. I heartily recommend it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3GXRLB8B2AITG?ASIN=014242417X	Good emotional read!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Excellent read. I could have easily said Hazel's words had I been in her position ( God forbid) and felt as she did, and i'm 28. Yes it made me cry at times, but like with any good book that makes you care for the characters the tears were worth it. The romance was sweet without being childish. I have already recommended this book to make friends and can't wait to see in theatres once it comes out.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2RTTAL377ETON?ASIN=014242417X	Speechless	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I cannot fully describe the multitude of this book. I felt an emotional rollercoaster throughout it, with it tugging at my heart with the turn of each page. This truly shows the real vantage point of a person in their place. I could not put down this book, in less than six hours I had demolished the book and still didn't want it to be over. Please read, you will most definitely not be disappointed.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2YD3SEY4SWZAT?ASIN=014242417X	the blissful verbiage of real live thinking	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">a tremendously well written book, that sparks the mind and stirs the soul. There will always be books about cancer, but this book trans ends the written word and transports you into a reality of chaos and cancer. What a brilliant way to experience the struggle of one, two, three and more... I was mesmorized, and reminded of the vast verbiage of adolescents. thank you for a real and heart felt book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3BRP46WNTZCB6?ASIN=014242417X	A truly beautiful story!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">It has been some time that I have read a book where I laughed, cried, and question the meaning of life. The Fault In Our Stars is a story about unconditional love in the most beautiful sense of the word; love of friends, love of family and of lovers. But like all true love stories comes pain and sadness, so make sure you have a box of tissues handy for the last 6 chapters. I definitely needed them.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3BISFA8PPOEWV?ASIN=014242417X	I could not put this book down!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I am very picky with what I read,religiously sticking to authors that I am familiar with.<br/>One day while I was at my local book store, this book and many others of John Green's books were on 'The Popular' shelf. I took a risk and purchased this book along with Looking For Alaska. I have just finished The Fault in Out Stars, and I must say it was amazing! I can't wait to read more of his titles!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R285WG8Z6LWSNT?ASIN=014242417X	Some infinities are bigger than other infinities	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Great read and I get a sense that John Green is probably a big ""the Catcher in the Rye"" fan. Believe or not, the character I think who is a crucial component of the book is Gus and Hazel's friend - Isaac. He's the one that makes the book coherent and I am happy every time he came on. I've been watching John Green's Youtube channel on Crash Course for a long time now and he does a great job.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2Z41CRNOXAXPG?ASIN=014242417X	Book Review for John Green's The Fault in Our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Great book. Through telling a story about cancer, I feel that it looks into the truths about human nature as well as the nature of the universe. particularly love the part where the author wrote that the greatest people are the ones who notice things as opposed to those who does things, because we are as likely to cause the universe harm as we are likely to do it good. Highly recommend to everyone.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3NQN730ZQCNOK?ASIN=014242417X	Beautiful	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Although it isn't the best book, it is beautifully written. It allows you to look into your own life and find the true meaning. You move like ok one with the main character Hazel. I laughed then cried, fell in love then my heart broke. You gain this feeling of awe as you finish reading. It is one of those novels where you have to bite the bullet and read it for it has a lasting effect on your life.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3SUJKKBB645RY?ASIN=014242417X	Really great read!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read this book within a total of two days where I used every ounce of my free time to read. I can honestly say that it was well worth the read. It was sad and romantic and funny at times. It was also true...a messed up story about what an illness such as cancer can really cause. Needless to say, it's a wonderful novel! (Even though there were times where I wanted to throw the book at the wall...)</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R5TNFJ6NCMW93?ASIN=014242417X	Wow, what a roller coaster of emotions...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I knew, by the little storyline I knew, that there would be ups and downs in this book.  With knowing many people with cancer myself, I could relate to some aspects of this story.  I enjoyed the book, unsure if I like the ending or not yet, but maybe if I read it again, I can figure that out.  My 11 year old daughter wants to read it, and I think that it would be a great book for her to read also.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RL98RUX9Q4XRW?ASIN=014242417X	Unforgettable read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read this book because I saw the previews for the movie, and the story intrigued me. It is such a wonderful piece, laced with sarcasm, poignant thoughts, heartache, and love. I enjoyed the conversations between Augustus, Isaac, and Hazel. Sometimes they made you laugh, and other times you were left really thinking about the questions or points raised. Very well written and an unforgettable read.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1HTZ915YH74LI?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I could not put this book down! Hazel is witty, sarcastic and intelligent; I fell in love with her instantly! The love that evolves between Hazel and Augustus is beautifully written. You can't help but want these two to experience some ""normalcy"" in their lives and just be teenagers. This book is thought-provoking and full of fabulous quotes! One of the best books I have read in a very long time!!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R253KQCZ3KSF1E?ASIN=014242417X	In love with this book!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I was skeptical that this was going to be another teenage romance, but was pleasantly surprised. I immediately fell in love with both Hazel and Augustus from the very beginning. Their story is one for the ages. I love a book that stirs my emotions and through this one, I was truly touched. I laughed, cried, and mourned during the reading of this sweet love story. It is definitely worth the read :)</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1VLU0N837EHO?ASIN=014242417X	If God walked on earth	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">He would be John Green. Everything in this novel is truth which can be scary, sad, glorious... yet it is still truth. The battle of sickness is portrayed flawlessly in this novel. I feel as if this novel provided me with three new friends, one of which is blind, one suffering from breathlessness and one deceased.<br/><br/>I did not want this novel to end. But alas, there is an end to everything.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1MX7F1E1YCOGS?ASIN=014242417X	Speechless	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I still have tears streaming down my face because of this breathtakingly beautiful book. I've never known greater literary soul mates then Hazel and Augustus. John Green made their love so real and so heart breaking. I won't be forgetting them anytime soon. I won't be forgetting this book anytime soon. It's now added to my list of the most beautiful stories I've ever read. Bravo John Green! Bravo!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3DXOOJQZLNF7F?ASIN=014242417X	Not for everyone	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I chose this book after reading the sample and became invested in the characters almost right away.  It was uplifting and sad at the same time with an end result that was predictable but surprising as well.  I finished it in no time at all which, for me, is quite unusual.  It was a different type of story and held my interest.  I am a mature reader but I feel it will appeal to young and old alike.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R17K96U2BT55G9?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I know that this may seem strange, but I loved the parents in this story.  They are the  loving caregivers that we all hope to have when we need them. Children who are seriously ill at a young age, that receive years of treatment while growing up, experience childhood so foreign from healthy ones. This is a wonderful story written by an author that may have some personal light shed on this topic.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1G78SLEDZVJ1J?ASIN=014242417X	Good, heartwarming story with a sad twist	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was heartwarming and a bit sad.  Overall, I enjoyed the story and it was well written.  The characters were enriching and I appreciated their struggles.  There are a few twists that keep you guessing, although it was not difficult to figure out what was happening.  I would suggest this book for a cozy weekend by the fire.  Looking forward to seeing the movie sometime in the future, too.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3UQG9RK7KH0W0?ASIN=014242417X	amazing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I really hope that John Green will make a sequel because he ended it like AIA and I still have so many more questions, but otherwise I loved this book and it kept me interested on every page, and every time I wanted to stop I had to end in a cliffhanger because every page had a question left to answer. Thank you John Green for writing this amazing catch if a book I am so excited to see the movie!</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/REO9I8MC21ZFT?ASIN=014242417X	Bring on the tissues!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Beautiful, realistically written.  Poignant, sweet, loving,tragically sad.  It is a study in terminal illness in that  the terminally ill grasp their mortality and face it boldly and with humor, while the healthy flounder with how to deal with the loss.  Loved the book, so I will not see the movie for a while, because it won't resemble the images in my head. A great read, but truly a tear jerker.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R26W278Y0YE3WH?ASIN=014242417X	Worth reading!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I laughed, I cried, I was angry, I was sad, I was happy, and everything in between.<br/><br/>I didn't understand what all the fuss was about with this book until I read it. I fell in love with the characters and hated to see the book end.<br/><br/>Be forewarned: never have I cried so hard reading a book. Get the tissues ready... This one is an emotional roller coaster you'll be glad you rode.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1DWLZOLPCAYWY?ASIN=014242417X	Loved: The Fault in Our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This story is a love story that many feel is only for teens. BUT, it is a love story for anyone who likes love stories.The two main characters just happen to be teens...and they happen to have cancer. The focus, though, is the love that forms when these two meet and get to know each other. Even though there are some sad parts... life IS sad sometimes....mostly this book is  a celebration of LIFE.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2FOSWN3B7BFH7?ASIN=014242417X	So sad! I love it never will forget	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">this book made me laugh smile and cry a bit. I was so upset to see it end I was about to cry! I hope I get a chance to see the movie.! the book always made you wanna read more and more. It totally deserves a 5 star rating .! No doubt about it is the BEST BOOK EVER IN THE HISTORY OF BOOKS (or best book I have ever read) If you like sad romance novels /always wanna continue then this is your book.!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1J76AELUX1L49?ASIN=014242417X	A two-day read extraordinaire	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">It takes a lot of great story to hold my attention that long, to skip lunch, gas up the car, remember to sleep. This book is a great read. Two fully developed characters hold my interest to the end, even though the story is dark, even though I, too, have fought this war. It is easy to fall in love with Augustus and Hazel Grace, with some left over for Isaac. Worth a second read, highly recommend.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3OJH0CKYJRA00?ASIN=014242417X	Book for teens but enjoyable for adults too	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I liked this book so much.  It's about a teenager who has cancer and falls in love with a boy who also has cancer.  The book is written from the teen's perspective and the writing is really funny at times.  I think the book is meant for teenagers but I really enjoyed it (and I am an adult).  I never read young adult fiction otherwise, but would definitely recommend this one to readers of any age.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1WV9B5Q772H5W?ASIN=014242417X	Made me think	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I heard so much about this book, that I had to read it.  I was prepared for tears, which I shed, but was also hoping to laugh, which I did as well.  The story is good, but predictable--won't spoil it, but I had figured out the ending about 1/3 of the way through the book.  If you are looking for another YA book which tugs at the heartstrings, my all time favorite is A Summer to Die by Lois Lowry.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R5JKF0TV4ZE98?ASIN=014242417X	Best I've read in a while	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I must say, I want expecting to speed through this book in just a few days. I mean, I have 2 small children, so there isn't a whole lot of time to read with keeping up with them. But I found a way, and wasn't disappointed in the slightest. I laughed, I cried,I smiled and I sighed. If you're reading the reviews because you're considering this book, just do yourself a favor and go ahead and buy it.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2DWHQAPPIDBTJ?ASIN=014242417X	Reading outside the box for a bit...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">While I did expect a sadder story, this book has been, so far, the best one I read this year, so I'm either reading not very good books or this one is pretty good. The story is catchy, cute, it flows really nice, it takes a slightly different turn than most romances and... well, it ends almost as abruptly as An Imperial Affliction. To sum it up, it is a good book, but feels somewhat inconclusive.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R39POL5SLV3LPB?ASIN=014242417X	Wow!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The author has captured the angst and wonder of the teenage voice so incredibly well, as he has the characters go through life altering experiences at such a young age.  Coming to terms with cancer as a child is told so beautifully and articulately by the characters in this book, that I found myself laughing through my tears as I tripped through this book.  Hard to put down.  Beautifully written.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3Q83F7KP0DJSI?ASIN=014242417X	Exceptional - 4.5 STARS	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is about as out of bounds as I would normally tend to go compared to my normal repertoire of books, however I was very glad I did.  This author is exceptionally talented at his craft and this will be one of the highest reviews I have given to date, or might possibly ever deliver!  A very emotional book, but one that while sad, also allows you to appreciate how lucky you are in your own life.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RA0RZOOJ06495?ASIN=014242417X	A Beautiful Book About Dying	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Unfortunately dying is something that not just older people have to deal with. And this book approaches the topic of ""the end"" with wit and charm. I would expect nothing less from John Green. His characters always make me smile and even laugh out loud. But they can also reach very personal levels with thoughts about not only death but life and what it is all about. Recommended for anyone.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RSKVVD1MKEAS0?ASIN=014242417X	Tore my heart out!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book tore my heart out in the best way possible. If you are looking for an emotional rollercoaster that you wont want to get off of, then this is the book for you. There were times when I would be laughing then crying then laughing through my tears all within the same page. John Green knows how to play with the emotions just right. This book was amazing and I would recommend it to everyone.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2BCMERGF34ZO3?ASIN=014242417X	I wish this was a series!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">You must read this book.  I was a little nervous about reading this, as my mom had just been diagnosed with cancer.  It was recommended, so I decided to give it a try.  I love this book.  It helps you to see it from a young patients perspective.  Live life to the fullest and don't dwell on what you will be missing.  You can't live life dwelling.  I love this book and would read it over and over.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3TP4EYSL7E0M1?ASIN=014242417X	Nobody understands my bond	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book made me cry in the end, and for that I am grateful because of you don't leave your mark on a book, and if a book doesn't leave a mark on you, you forget about it. And this book has left such a great mark on my life I'm as likely to die with it and share all my thoughts with everyone I meet. That's the thing about friends; they never turkey understand you.

2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RXFRO85P2IJVG?ASIN=014242417X	Yes	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book gives an incredibly astonishing insight of a stage four cancer patient wanting to live a life and to fall in love. Hazel Grace Lancaster age 16 meets her true love. She just wants to live a normal life but knows not everything can come true like everybody wants. This book is the best book I've ever read because of its use of vocabulary, it's wittiness, and it beautiful insight in life.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3BLABQYOW5UD3?ASIN=014242417X	Best love story I have read in years	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I loved all of the main characters including Hazel,Augustus,Isaac, and both sets of parents.  My only disappointment was that I wish Hazel would be able to let go of her fight and join Augustus in the ""S"".  I know it was important to read the eulogy left by Augustus and I think it could have happened before she left her painful battle to go with her soul mate to pain free peace. Just my opinion.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3IF1INSVI14EZ?ASIN=014242417X	Amazingly Sad :'(	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I'm literally crying over augustus. Being the person he was; beautiful, strong, wonderful, curious every thing the perfect boy needs. And Hazel oh Hazel wonderful wonderful Hazel one of the best people that could have lived on this earth; thoughtful, strong minded, not afraid and most of all loveable. thank you John Green for letting ride along this unforgettable journey with Hazel and Augustus.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R299UFRQTOK5Z7?ASIN=014242417X	Fast but sad book. would recommend.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">A fast but sad book. I am so lucky that I do not have cancer, but I do know chronic pain that is not helped by any meds thus far, seeeing my body change and not really recognizing myself or who i was just over 2 and a half years ago, insomnia and the depression that comes from it. Many lines in the book resonated with me. The characters in this book were all so young yet courageous. Good read...</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R330Y1O8WW130?ASIN=014242417X	LOVED this book!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I could not put this book down. I knew very little about this book when I downloaded it and I have recommended it to everyone I know. The characters stay with the reader long after the book ends. It is so touching and the character development is amazing. Even though the protagonists are adolescents, they have universal appeal. Highly recommend! You will laugh and cry and fall in love with them.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3IVXK8VDB9N65?ASIN=014242417X	Love!!!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">""That's the thing about pain, it demands to be felt."" This beautifully, raw story lets us see through the eyes of living with cancer. We see the physical pain and the internal struggle of guilt of having the disease, but also unconditional love and acceptance. There is no doubt in my mind, no matter what type of book you enjoy, you will fall in love with Hazel, Augustus, and their story.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1SI29VCTFBH3G?ASIN=014242417X	Absolutely breathtaking	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Spoiler alert: the book is about cancer, so I knew going in someone would die. I do not normally pick stories that I know will make me cry, but given the reviews and recent film (which I will watch this week) I decided to read it. I am so glad I did. It's an absolutely beautiful story about living and loving. It tells the truth, which hurts, in the most enduring way. Read with a box of tissues.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I wish I could give this more stars and not just five, because this book is amazing! I didn't have high hopes when I bought it and started reading it because who wants to read a book about kids with cancer? I learned fast not to judge a book by its cover. It made me cry harder then any book ever has and it was totally worth it. I would recommend this book anyone, best 8 bucks I have ever spent!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R271E31VLKVFND?ASIN=014242417X	I can't even explain	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">this is the best book I have ever read and it is sad that Gus and hazel and the outher people had cancer but the way the book turned out is amazing sad but amazing and I can't wait to see the movie but I like how Gus loved hazel and how they made it work and what he did to see her I need to stop cuz I might give away to much of the book how you guys read it I'm 14 and I cried and loved the book</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3FGGAI3GJ83J0?ASIN=014242417X	Almost 5 stars worthy	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I really enjoyed this book it was great. A tear jerker for sure, the only thing I had a hard time really getting into was the way the characters spoke. It was just kind of out there and funky. But as I trudged through it became something that I became attached too. I wouldn't give it five stars because it just wasn't that great. But it was really good and worth your extra time if you have some.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3KLS70BX1WF03?ASIN=014242417X	Cancer attacks all ages and does not discriminate	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was very well written and kept your interest by wondering whether or not the characters were going to beat cancer. A very sensitive and emotional book( be prepared for a few tears)  but also a very unexpected tale of how love happens when least expected. Would recommend this book for anyone who takes everyday life for granted and needs to realise that life is not always fun and games.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R35VNGMZ78JR7J?ASIN=014242417X	My daughter told me that I had to read this book.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">She told me that it was so good it was epic. She also said that I had to read it before the movie came out. I managed to get it done with 3 days to spare. She was right about it being a good book. She neglected to mention that it would most likely make me cry.  Therefore, by doing just that, this book gets 5 stars from me. Any book that touches my heart l like this one did, deserves five stars.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2U1AVJU80BKBD?ASIN=014242417X	just read it	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">You have your critics who say the characters are not realistic for their ages and the storyline is dumb yadayadayad....<br/>If you have had someone in your life who has gone through cancer this book is going to hurt like hell.  If you haven't I promise you'll still cry.  This book is beautifully written and boldly tears at your heart strings and is well worth the time you may spend reading it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3EA2O69SIWRCP?ASIN=014242417X	Better than Death be not proud	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book shows an understanding of both sides of a sick adolescent. The normal healthy side and the older than their years side/insight about the shortness of life with cancer. I enjoyed the plots within the plots, and to some extent the main character leaves you with similar questions . What happened to her? How much longer did she live? Did her Mom become a therapist?  I recommend this book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1U4KMNY69WDYA?ASIN=014242417X	The first book to actually make me cry	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">this book was amazing. I love to read love stories but this was a totally different kind if love story for me to read. it was so beautiful. I kind of knee what was going to happen to them in the end but I was dreading getting to that part the whole time. I lost it at that point and have to stop reading for a while to stop the crying. Overall this was a great book and I suggest everyone reads it</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R11TU9PPKKY64N?ASIN=014242417X	loved it	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">very sweet and smart book about a an illness that too many people face. In this case it was a young couple. Loved every minute of it. Both characters were extremely well written. Loved Augustus Waters and his romantic way of approaching the world. Loved Hazel Graces realistic views of life. I think it would have been tough on my emotions to read this as a YA but as an adult it was a great read.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R35PBH5JMJKNQM?ASIN=014242417X	Great characters, endearing story.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Loved the characters--they were so real, and gave such an accurate account of what being this sick feels like for them.  The love story component was sweet-2 flawed humans finding joy in one another despite their ""lack of a future"" and daily obstacles of treatments, not feeling good and dealing with the well-meaning adults in their lives who just don't get it, and don't know what to do.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3KMD08T85NIN9?ASIN=014242417X	This book is amazing.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is so incredible that I have read it 5 times now. I cry every time but I keep reading. It touches my heart and I want as many people as possible to read this book and be touched the way I was. If somebody out there is reading my review and trying to decide whether or not to read this book, take my advice and read it. Buy it and read it as much as you want. I promise you will love it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R15UNPYJ45JZAI?ASIN=014242417X	Wasn't sure...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">It was a pretty good book, sad and happy moments. I'm not one to really read this type of book, but I decided to, after seeing all the girls in my town coming out of the movies crying over it, so had to know what was so depressing. Now I know and can honestly say that I had cried at the end as well. Its a book that I think everyone will enjoy, even in the sadness, its still a sweet love story.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1L76QD8846N5G?ASIN=014242417X	A minor masterpiece; simple in it's composition, but complex and  deep in its content.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This teen book whose lead characters have malignant cancer, nonetheless is primarily a particularly compelling love story.  Somehow, by wise and witty  writing, Green has produced a masterpiece.  The messages and themes include the renewal of faith in love, and human nature in general.  And the book is  simple, seemingly written effortlessly, the way magicians make tigers appear and disappear.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3PUGFE8FSH2V5?ASIN=014242417X	Meaningful, thought provoking	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Although I feel the book is depressing, I did connect with the characters.  The book has altered my thoughts on terminally ill patients, and has in general made me ponder about things I have not really thought about before.  I normally would not read this type of book but I recently joined a local book club and this book was chosen.  I am glad I read it and I would encourage others to as well.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RZOYW5M18JN43?ASIN=014242417X	Sad, but not Depressing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">First, it's an easy read. I rarely finish a book, but I zoomed through this one within days.<br/><br/>At times it seemed so real, but I wish there was a little more development with Augustus and Hazel's love. More description of their feelings would have made me more attached.<br/><br/>Liked it, but think it may be a little overhyped. Call me cold-hearted.<br/><br/>Worth the time though!</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2T45JUGAV0GYE?ASIN=014242417X	Great story but missing an ending	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I really enjoyed this book.  It was emotional, realistic, and an easy read overall, however I only give it a 3 star because I felt like I was left hanging in the end just like the book that he was telling the story about.  I was very disappointed and wanted to scream at the end.  I will still recommend reading it.  The author just needs to make a second book to finish telling everyone's story.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R11XV8H8X20QCN?ASIN=014242417X	A poignant read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I admit to reading this because my sister said to read it before seeing the movie.  I'm glad I did.  Even tho' it's meant for a younger audience, it was very touching and insightful.  Cancer has stricken our family multiple times.  These two young people gave a fresh look to a very difficult time for them as well as their friends and families.  It's definitely not just a ""cancer book.""</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R64VWELG39IN1?ASIN=014242417X	Great Book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I couldn't stop reading this thoughtful, heart-warming, and sad story. The characters are easy to relate to, especially for anyone who has seen someone they love suffer through a cancer battle.  It is funny, happy, sad, informative, and will tug at your heart. I shall check out the author and consider more of his books, even if he is a young person's author. I would highly recommend to others.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3FW9BVNR5RALL?ASIN=014242417X	Live till you die!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">A lovely tale about how life does with you what it will.  The telling of this sweet story rushed me along to the end making me laugh out loud, so sad it brought tears, and reminding me how life can pick you up or put you down in a heart beat.  Young and old will find truth in the poetic words of this powerful tale and wisdom in the truth of it.  Life is an amazing gift.  Just got a live it....</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R174R66DO6E8DW?ASIN=014242417X	Stunning	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Even if the story was worthless this book would be worth reading merely for the sheer brilliance that is John Green's writing. Fortunately the story is equally brilliant. This book has colorful characters, extraordinary wit, and honest, raw emotions. John Green can make you laugh and cry in the span of a sentence, and anything he writes is worth reading. Frankly I would read his grocery lists.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1D8MSEDLCN8BB?ASIN=014242417X	REVIEW OF THE BOOK A FAULT IN THE STARS	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">THIS ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS I HAVE EVER READ. THE AUTHOR DID A GOOD JOB WRITING THIS BOOK. THIS BOOK IS SO DOWN TO EARTH. I LIKE THE WAY THE TWO MAIN CHARACTERS HAVE SUCH A GREAT FRIENDSHIP. THEY STUCK TOGETHER THOUGH THE GOOD AND THE BAD. IT WAS VERY WELL WRITTEN. THE AUTHOR DID A GOOD JOB WITH THE SUBJECT MATTER. I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS BOOK TO ANYONE. ITS A MUST READ! YOU WONT BE DISAPPOINTED</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R5IZPG3F9FJPV?ASIN=014242417X	a wonderful experience	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Before I read this book, I knew from friends it was going to be worth while, and I was right. Most stories about sickness--this is one of them--end the same. The Fault in our Stars does end, and you will cry if you have a big heart, but you will finish with a smile on your face. It really helped ,e to see the world a different way. And I just have to say that Augustus Waters is pretty awesome.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2I5846A19Y7NX?ASIN=014242417X	MUST READ BOOK	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">It's been a while since I've read a good book. The last one was The Perks of being a Wallflower. This book The Fault in Our Stars exceeded my life's of imagination. It's such a warm hearted book that takes you on a journey of emotions. You'll be laughing on chapter, crying to another &amp; mad at another. It's been such a pleasure reading this book. Easy to read and enjoyable. You won't regret it!</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3OZHECKNBCNKB?ASIN=014242417X	I love this book!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I have thyroid cancer, the same illness as the heroine of this book. Hazel falls in love with Augustus, a boy with osteosarcoma.<br/><br/>Much is made of their illnesses, but I found them to be irrelevant. They had a happy ending. They will always be young, beautiful and in love.<br/><br/>John Green is an amazing author of incredible talent. I would like to thank him for writing this book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RL03MZDAQRQ2B?ASIN=014242417X	Glorious.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">John Green writes as if he is throwing himself headlong into the abyss. This book made me cry, and laugh, and ponder.  I have decided to read this book again, something I've only ever done twice before.<br/><br/>The only thing that I wondered was how implausible the main characters were as real-world teenagers.  But since I don't know any sick teens, how do I know whether they are implausible or not?</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1IWZBLM90NNU?ASIN=014242417X	Awesome and romantic	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I love this book I could not stop reading it after school you would find me reading it in my room.  I chose the rating as five stars because liked how you mixed it up , but I thought that Hazel would die of her cancer, but it was Augustus who died of cancer that turned out that the cancer was made out of his whole body. The way that they had met at support group, and Isacc drove them together</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3T9B8WR8AJ32Z?ASIN=014242417X	Loved it.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I loved this book. I got hooked on it, which hasn't happened in a long time for me. I'm an avid reader, but it's rare that a book just draws me in. I agree with some of the reviewers who said that the characters weren't entirely believable - they didn't quite speak like high school students. It was pretty easy to just disregard that, though. I laughed, I cried, and I really enjoyed this book.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3ECJCIHSIYXPY?ASIN=014242417X	Such a great book!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The story is told by a teenage girl with cancer and the teenagers she meets in a support group.  I was worried that I wouldn't like the book because they are teenagers and that it would be sappy and sad.  However, it wasn't like that at all.  I feel in love with the characters and although it was a tearjerker, it wasn't sappy.  I highly recommend reading this book, no matter what age you are!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2PPB46TI0A4KV?ASIN=014242417X	Best book I've read in a long time :)	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I loved the way John Green displayed Hazel and Augustus's affections using choice words. The book made you RETHINK LIFE and to appreciate how lucky you are to be where you are today. I absolutely fell in love with the characters and I know 100% that you will love them too.There was not one moment in TFIOS that I didn't enjoy. It was one of the very few books that absolutely deserved 5 stars.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3E193EKNCJMIW?ASIN=014242417X	Thoroughly enjoyed	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I bought this for my daughter and, like my mother did me, I pre-read it. I think some of it will be over her head (she's 11), and there's some I'm not ready for her to understand (no mom really ever wants their kid to grow up). I bought it on a Saturday and just finished it on Monday night...correction, Tuesday morning. Yes. It's one of those books you don't want to put down until it's done.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R232MWQHKSGFW8?ASIN=014242417X	I absolutely loved this book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Oh my goodness!! I absolutely loved this book!! It isn't often that a I get to finish a book in just a few hours, but I just COULDN'T PUT THIS ONE DOWN! Even though the characters are fictional, it just goes to show that no matter what they are going through, kids will be kids (by kids, I mean teens). They just want to be normal...fall in love, get trouble, rebel. I really loved this book!!!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R33607XYW73X8H?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing!!!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault In Our Stars is the best book I've read in a long time. I'll say that I cried and I laughed and I fell in love with all the characters. I wished that Augustus would've lived. But I saw the movie. An I hope that they live forever. But the world is not a wish granting factory. Still, this is a great book. It will rip your heart out and stop on it until it's ripped to shreds. Read it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2UD7SBPUOQN54?ASIN=014242417X	Can I Give It 5 More Stars???	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Wish I could give it five more stars!!  I saw the movie, shortly after reading the book.  Although the movie was excellent, nothing could surpass this novel, the angst, joy, suspense &amp; ultimate truth of life that the author conveys so perfectly!  I am a John Green fan; guess his books are 'young adult'; well, at 62, I must be a young adult because he is just terrific!  Thank you, Mr. Green!!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1P7WBJJ9R4UKO?ASIN=014242417X	Real, smart, alive.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book makes me cautious to review less I reflect on it less than it is worth.<br/>highly recommended.<br/>writing is fresh, realistic, and intelligent.<br/>characters are free, engaging, deep, and were they real - intimidating and vulnerable.<br/><br/>p.s. tissues will run out, use a towel - which is also more earth friendly. haha ;)<br/>give the universe the attention it deserves.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RTQUZ1KVKZMW8?ASIN=014242417X	good little read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I see why teens like this book. It's much like what Augustus talks about, it's a story of teenagers forced to love extraordinary lives, loving deeply and speaking poetically. (Even though I've never met a teen who spoke like these characters do.) Sappy at times, but always aware it's doing so, it is a perfectly good self aware teen romance while tackling some serious sadness in the universe.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R268BWDSNU2JZQ?ASIN=014242417X	Bitter Sweet	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I was planning on reading several chapters then getting on with my chores. Needless to say the chores never got done.  I could not put the book down. I kept reading ""just one more"" chapter. The Fault in our Stars was beautifully written.  It was full of hopelessness but yet full of hope, full of sadness but yet joyful.  I plan on reading it again but slower so that it can be savored!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RDKF3T4I02I8O?ASIN=014242417X	Passionate, heartbreaking beautiful	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is a story that makes you question the way we live our lives (at least in my opinion). It's got a wonderful structure and plot, making it hard to put down! I think anyone from teenagers to adults would like this book, but it's a tear jerker so I would recommend not reading it in public if you're an easy crier who doesn't want strange looks. If I could give it more than 5 stars, I would.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RGB9HS9VXEP7O?ASIN=014242417X	beautiful and heart-warming	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book shows unconditional love against all odds. It's a gut-wrenching story that leaves it's readers believing in the power of love.<br/><br/>I recommend this book to anyone who loves love. And loves to cry, because you'll do that a lot.<br/><br/>Through his writing style, Green accurately conveys his points and develops his characters.<br/><br/>John Green is a genius. Point blank.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3LXME8T6STTB9?ASIN=014242417X	ITs Beautiful	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I've never read a book that could make me feel so much every time I thought about it. It's a books that you will always love and never forget. Augustus and Hazel have flaws, unlike most of the heroes and heroines I have read about. That's what makes the book so amazing. John Green didn't write this book to say even people like this have love stories like this. He's saying why shouldn't they.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RUNFQ29MSKPCR?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in Our Stats	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars is one of the best books I've read. It draws you in and the next think you know you don't want to stop reading! I gave this a five star rating because this is one of the books that even if you like adventure or mystery you will still love this book. This is a book for all people who just enjoy reading or people who want to find a good book and just stick with the book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2KU0XTMETPUZP?ASIN=014242417X	AMAZING!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I think that this book was great . I gave it  5 stars because I want to recommend it to anyone 12 and older . This story made me cry because it was so well written . If you don't like sad endings I would not read it because the ending is sad but then gets happier. The characters are very relatable to real people .The story is not crazy but realistic. In the end , I would recommend this book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R25U3FAC8Y3XVK?ASIN=014242417X	Only book ever!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is indeed the only book I've ever cried at. It is a work of art that is so amazingly good I can't even describe the beauty of it. All I can say is READ IT!! It is so sad and beautiful, so wonderfully written. The author of this book deserves an award for such well written book. The quotes really make the book stand out. It is truly an amazing, breath-taking book. A must read all around.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R96ZNSO3HKDPM?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is amazing. It touched me in a way books never have (not to say books have never touched me before, just that this one was special). This book reaches out to your emotions, and engages you in a way only John Green could.<br/><br/>This book is a pure ten-out-of-ten. If you have ever loved somebody, thought about life or death, or just lived your life then you will enjoy this book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RMRMU1G77I0PN?ASIN=014242417X	Beautiful	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Completely and utterly beautiful. Green makes you think about life and how precious it really is. Hazel is one of my favorite protagonists specifically because her mortality is understood from the get go. She knows she will die and readers know she will die, but that gives it a more interesting perspective on life that any other fictitious character has ever had. John Green, you are awesome.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/REHVNPCDX134L?ASIN=014242417X	Amazingly Touching and Funny	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book made me laugh and cry at the same time. Somehow John Green makes tragedy endearing and heart warming in this novel. I could not put the book down and want to reread it very soon. In addition, I've recommended it to all my family and friends. It really brings the struggle of cancer (or any terminal illness) to light in a way that makes you love those who suffer without pitying them.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1USU0WC6Y7KZF?ASIN=014242417X	Very well written	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The story is compelling, but hard to read because it makes you love the characters who you know are dealing with cancer throughout the story.<br/><br/>The writing is very good and really paints a vivid picture of the story. Emotion is one of the hardest things to convey as a writer, but John Green does a wonderful job of getting the reader into the thoughts and feelings of his characters.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R20UT5A3NFJ81H?ASIN=014242417X	A satisfying book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">A very satisfying read. It is definitely a Young Adult book, though; Very short and straightforward. It is moving, to be sure, and the themes are dark and interesting, but there is not a lot of depth to it. What you see is what you get.<br/><br/>And that's okay, The story it tells is good, and it's very accessible to a wide audience while still being enjoyable for a more dedicated reader.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2AK7T6D1C8IO0?ASIN=014242417X	This book is well written, about a difficult subject ...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is well written, about a difficult subject - teens facing terminal illnesses.  I kept thinking about Catcher in the Rye.  Also, how important it is for Christian parents to raise up their children in the knowledge of God and relationship with Christ, not just the ritual side of worship.  The one flaw was that Christianity was depicted as a weak cliche, although a well meaning one.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1Q2S4FMN3MJN9?ASIN=014242417X	Bravo! Bravo!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Excellently written, dialogue accurate, Helen and Gus are like most middle class suburban teenagers in any town USA. Having been to Amsterdam, the account of their visit was also visually correct. Living with a terminal illness can force anyone that age to grow up fast, that explains the depth and wisdom these protagonists convey. bravo! I just hope the film makers didn't screw this one up.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2O39WT1K0UZHJ?ASIN=014242417X	Expected More . . .	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Maybe it was all the hype over this book and the movie, but I was a little disappointed after finishing this book - kind of like, ""that's it?""  I enjoyed the humorous, teenage spin put on a very serious and sad subject.  There were a few times I found myself smiling or laughing out loud, but I don't feel that the book was wrapped up at the end.  Then again, maybe that was the point.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RC1VYB5LVG5FK?ASIN=014242417X	Beautiful, clever, heart-wrenching	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Okay so I jumped on the bandwagon.  So glad I did.  What a clever and engaging book.  Hazel and Gus are dynamic characters, and they live so colorfully in my imagination, I don't know if I want to ruin it with a view of them on the big screen.  This book made me laugh out loud, read whole passages over and over, and then sob profoundly, for hours.  There is a reason this book is so popular.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R83E8W4TN9UOY?ASIN=014242417X	Bitter sweet well written, should become classic	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I really enjoyed this book.  Yes, these are not typical high school age kids.  But becoming terminally ill will make you think of life itself and surely makes you mature.  Author writes so well, unlike Divergent, which I couldn't continue reading, too choppy to follow.  I read this book in two days and was surprisingly bitter sweet after taste.  I would want all teenagers to read this book!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R39OEV0P3708L3?ASIN=014242417X	A bit depressing . . .	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I enjoyed this book.  I thought it was very well written and that the character development was great!  I really felt that I got to know the characters and that they were quite believable.  Because of the subject matter (cancer), it was not an ""uplifting"" book but I can't say that I didn't enjoy it.  Definitely a good read . . . but you have to be ""in the mood"" for this one.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2E3D9EX7RJV0E?ASIN=014242417X	Grab those tissues.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">As a childhood cancer survivor I was not sure what to expect from this book. But, yet again John Green nailed it. It is beautifully written, has it's high moments, and can be totally gut wrenching at times. It's not a fairytale version of a cancer story, and I liked that. It's more realistic, touching, and leaves you reflecting on the book for some time. I hope you love it as much as I did.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R307EJ4GIUFQ8U?ASIN=014242417X	It was breathtaking.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is art itself. I read this for a school project and I'm so glad I did. When you get to Page one, you fall in love with a girl named Hazel who has cancer. It took me only a day to read it because, it was one of those books that you can't put down. I recommend this to everybody because, I was blessed to have read this. And after reading this book, I've read John Green's other books.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RKNCWWOGSPXN9?ASIN=014242417X	GREAT book!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Loved, loved, loved this book. The writing style of John Green had me hooked from the first paragraph! The characters are enduring and so lovable. He did a great job showing each persons point of view and take on the whole cancer 'thing', from the parents to each of the other characters.There were also a couple of twists I did not see coming. I would absolutely recommend reading this book!</span>"

Most people live a lifetime and cannot write as eloquently or as beautiful as she did. Just amazing how these 2 young people really got life and living in this amazing world!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2SX52JFCDIT1F?ASIN=014242417X	Great!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault In Our Stars is an awesome book. It's about two teenagers who meet at a cancer support group and how they fall in love. It is a story about relationships, about coping with dying, about loss and grief, and so very much more! I couldn't put this book down. Great character development and storyline. I loved it.  Do yourself a favor and read this book!  I promise you won't be sorry!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1H6SGQ6DXS2GP?ASIN=014242417X	Awesome book.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">My 12 yo daughter is not much of a reader. She has dyslexia and rarely finds books that hold her interest. She wanted to see the movie but our rule is that if she's not 13, she has to read the book before she's allowed to see the movie. She loved this book. She couldn't put it down. She finished it quickly and understood it. She even convinced her brother and cousin to read it. Great book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R25LNH9C5ICVRJ?ASIN=014242417X	Overrated	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The premise is extremely deep and emotional, but the book failed to come close to what it could have been. Characters were completely unrealistic, which would be okay if they weren't so unlikeable.  I'm not a monster so obviously I was rooting for them the whole time, but more because I thought about other people who suffered from childhood cancer, not because I cared for these characters.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R31OHUUENTWSVN?ASIN=014242417X	Refreshing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I enjoyed this book. It was a quick read, but in all the tragedy surrounding this young couple, I found them thoroughly refreshing. The story was a brutally honest look at cancer kids and the lives they choose to live. They don't just sit back and wait to die, they embrace life and ensure that they make each of their limited days their absolute best. It provides an interesting perspective.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3994UOGWTUZDN?ASIN=014242417X	a true love story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This fabulously written book told a story of falling love. However, it was not the typical love story that every girl is told about growing up. This is how it really happens, it is unexpected and it takes time. Although they had a short love that didn't mean it wasn't a true, deep, and beautiful love. This book had me hooked from the first page. I hope everyone takes the time to read this.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2T9O0GDWWMQMO?ASIN=014242417X	An engaging novel worthy of being a bestseller.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Such a beautifully written piece of literature.  It's been a while since I have read a book that has tugged at my heartstrings as much as this novel  Mr. Green does an astounding job at pulling the reader into the lives of the characters, bringing you along for the journey of their struggles and triumphs.  Anyone who is looking for an emotionally challenging read should consider this book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3GSJYQKSLX9KS?ASIN=014242417X	Surpasses expectations	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I loved this book.  It was recommended to me by my fourteen year old niece.  It was a good read to her at fourteen and a good read to me at forty something.  It is poignant.  The Fault in Our Stars is a true portrayal of how cancer affects, not only the person who has it, but all those who love them.  The characters feel real with such a sense of bravery at taking each moment as they come.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1YAMUYCQ6N91H?ASIN=014242417X	Love the teenagerisms	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Beautifully written.  Such a difficult subject to approach but much needed.  Please keep in mind that everyone is different so not all cancer patients would appreciate the sarcasm that the characters use in their comments to one another - yet many teens may be grateful for such an in-your-face approach.  So glad to read about a ""wish granting"" that wasn't Disney - even if it was fictional.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R21RJ54OHBNAL4?ASIN=014242417X	I can't stop crying!!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is honestly a tear jerker. It makes you think about everything. It makes you second guess everything. It torn my heart to shreds, then slowly built it back together. Words cannot due justice to this incredible,well written, heartbreaking, breathtaking novel. If you don't mind, I will be reading it again and again until I can get through it once without crying. It might be awhile.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1MH6BY2D49AJ7?ASIN=014242417X	The Reverse Gravity; The things in this book  go up and up only. Thank you, John Green!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book has placed me mid-center of a fantastic story that played like a real-life movie in my head. It taught me so much. It taught me about worth and honesty and love and loss. I felt every sentence as if someone was writing them on my chest. This is a great book, and to me is more than simply this great star-crossed love story. Thank you John Green, for helping me notice the universe.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1PM4BYCXVTGBV?ASIN=014242417X	Beautiful	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Before I read this book, I had some friends telling me about it. To me, it just sounding like a sappy love story. But I gave it a shot and it was more than about love. It  was about fighting for what you believed in. How loss can make life unbearable. How sometimes you just need to gut it out and be grateful in the life, and people you are given. I totally recommend this book to 13 and up.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3LJDF8BWOTLAT?ASIN=014242417X	well written somber story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Not as uplifting as I wanted it to be, but maybe my expectations for a book about terminally ill characters were inappropriate. Wouldn't say that I couldn't put it down but it's worth reading if you have time and want to extract some great quotes about life and death and sick people. Didn't make me cry but I (quite fortunately) have also never experienced cancer in myself or in loved ones.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RLJLVBGSTRBTN?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing!!! Except for a couple things...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">On a whole it was a good book, but the Green went a little overboard on the cussing. There was a cuss word on almost every single page. And it was kinda inappropriate, Hazel and Gus had just met each other and within a couple months they were sleeping together! Not okay! But besides that, I enjoyed this book! I laughed, I cried! But I was on a roller coaster that only went up, my friends.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2DRJO5Q998XZN?ASIN=014242417X	OMG I almost cryed	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is the best book I have ever read in my entire life. I love the way at the end when hazel made it seem like she had married Gus. Although he hadn't actually said ""i do"" he was saying it through the love he had for Hazel. Unlike the book Peter VanHoughten wrote with no ending this has and awesome ending and a extraordinary beginning for Hazel. #bestlovestoryever👫💏💑❤️😭</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2MGUCAPX36GO5?ASIN=014242417X	heartbreaking; heartmending	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I resisted reading for a long time because I don't like making appointments with tears. However, I read this book in a day, and cried a couple of times. But I was ok with it. The story felt honest, true, and lovingly crafted. And I found multiple lines to record so that I can re-read and remember them. Sometimes the experiences that illicit tears are worth it. This was one of those times.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1GDZ2ZKZQRYE6?ASIN=014242417X	Okay but not my cup of tea.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is a love story. Not a story of death and dying. It is very sad from the beginning to the end. I had never heard of this author or book until I saw a trailer for the movie. The movie looks pretty good. I also saw an interview with the author so I decided to read it. I realize this is a wildly popular read with the younger generation and am not bashing it, it's just not my cup of tea.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RIPHYXADLD1XA?ASIN=014242417X	Get tissues ready	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">this book was such an incredible story to read...the strength of these two kids and the love they feel is just incredible.  not just the love of the main characters but, others in their lives as well. the way these kids look at life is just incredible, especially with the illnesses... this was a powerful story and can't wait to see the movie...I just hope the movie is as good as the book.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3BOLR18IIE0J4?ASIN=014242417X	Their is no fault in John Green	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I like to read the book before I go see the movie, and when I saw the preview for TFIOS, I immediately purchased the book and devoured it. The story is about two teenagers with cancer, but it is so much more than that. It is about love and hope. The characters are very relative and very mature. I would recommended this book to anyone who wants an amazing story with a great and sad ending.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2S60V119N6D64?ASIN=014242417X	Must read for everyone	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book should be a required read for everyone. Cancer is a part of everyones life, even if you are not fighting the battle yourself. This story sheds more light from inside the battlezone.  Wonderful character development.<br/>This book moved its way quickly into my top 10 favorites of all time.<br/>Highly recommended for readers of all genres. This book transcends the genre barrier.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R34FDWXP4889A8?ASIN=014242417X	Awesome	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">When I started reading this book, I thought ... ""oh, another Juno-type character"".  But this author gets it.  I have cancer and I work in a cancer center and there are so many things that ring true.  Young and old grow up pretty fast when faced with this disease, but the author is able to blend the humor and pathos in very likable and some unlikeable characters.  And that is life.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2D1QB81PYZ7M1?ASIN=014242417X	amazing!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book blew me away. Best book I've read in a very long time. John Green grabbed me by the heartstrings within the first 20 pages and simply never let go. Missed countless bedtimes trying to finish it, always falling asleep midsentence when I was just too tired to stay awake. You'll feel every gamut of emotion from happiness to sadness, love to anger. I recommend this book to everyone!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1QKGA4917Q3FZ?ASIN=014242417X	Emotional Read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">At the recommendation of 2 different friends, I read this book. Having a husband that has fought cancer, I was a bit scared if I could handle it. It was a bit ""lofty"" at times. I agree with much, but not everything this book offered. It brought up a lot of good points, especially what parents of kids with cancer must go through. Definitely recommend, especially before the movie comes out.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RFOPFD06CPK2D?ASIN=014242417X	Best. Ever.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I absolutely love this book. One of the best books I have read in a long time. John green has such a way with words. He managed to take on writing a girls perspective and absolutely killed it. He made it seem like we were bystanders to this truly amazing love story. I would recommend this book to everyone who walks this planet. It may seem girly but it's so incredibly not. READ THIS BOOK.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2SF2A1H2YIG6H?ASIN=014242417X	Perspective!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I like this emotional read because like many sad media about illness, it lends perspective to moments worth focusing on.  I step away from reading this wanting to appreciate the simple because the rest, the inevitable is clouded in my own worries and fears.  Life will happen.  Death will happen.  But pay attention to the present and value that time, because it continually ceases to exist.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RSMDWR6RKJAW7?ASIN=014242417X	Great book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I definitely would call this a five star book. The thought, and morals even in this book teach you so much. I very much enjoyed the book, but would probably recommend it to teenagers, maybe or older. This book does have many cuss words in it and also inappropriate scenes. Also there are some more advanced words in this book that some children below the age recommended may not understand.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1VJ0ATHKQ77T8?ASIN=014242417X	I love this book so freaking much it doesn't even make sense	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is always going to be the best book I will ever read in my lifetime because I felt like I really connected with Hazel and we had the same thoughts (we both have crap lungs) and this was the first thing in my life that made me cry my eyes out for 4 days straight. So I am soooo happy I bought it getting the movie and praying that if there is ever a sequel, it will live up to the first</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1TRCCAXLBWUL0?ASIN=014242417X	Are you my mother	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">What extremes would a woman go through to get a child?  What extremes would a woman go through to find a child?  Both of these woman loved this little girl.  I was actually conflicted for the child.  Who was her mother?  The biological mother of course deserved to get her back but the woman who raised her loved her too.  What a dilemma.  I really felt their pain.  What a wonderful story.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RWEPIFS2AECQF?ASIN=014242417X	great	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Okay, I must admit, I am not a bandwagon jumper. I actually avoided reading this book because everyone was making such a big fuss about it when the movie came out. Then I got so tired of the hype I decided to check it out for myself.  Let me tell you, I am not one who is easily impressed, but I literally could not put it down. It is not at all what I expected. It is well worth your time.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2U84XM4J84SFH?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Yes , you are going to cry but John Green really illustrates true love and a amazing story. You would think this is going to be the same love story but no. It really dominates the world of books specially love story's. It makes feel as if u were looking through Hazel's eyes. I would recommend this to ages starting at 6th grade it's truly amazing and its definitely worth he money and time</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R15MEM3T9EJXRN?ASIN=014242417X	I did like the book but was a little disappointed in the ...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I was very excited to read this book.  I did not see the movie but I heard a lot about the story.  I did like the book but was a little disappointed in the ending.  I guess it was because it was not what I expected.  I felt the ending left me wanting to know just a little bit more about the future of the main character.  Some people think that is a good thing but I was left disappointed.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R4KHC5D93NADG?ASIN=014242417X	Very engrossing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Mr. Green has a talent for conversational dialogue.  The pages fly by as you meet the small cast of characters and learn to like them and their quirks, tragedies, and redemptions.  I recommend this book.  Keep it near your great books.  While this is not a great book, it serves to remind the reader of how much wonder there is in the world, and how fleeting your chance to enjoy it may be.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R15TE7A7HAPBS3?ASIN=014242417X	Young adult book?	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Beautiful writing, but I dare say, watch your teenagers closely after reading this book.  The entire theme is dying and cancer, and if your family is going through cancer, I would NOT let a teenager read this.  Read it first yourself and then YOU make the parental decision of whether or not your child is ready for this topic.  Yeah, I know, it's life.  But they can have a childhood, too!</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RO46KD4Q5O3PU?ASIN=014242417X	Excellent Book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book took me into a realm one often hears about - children who are victims of cancer - but never experiences on a personal level. The story is absolutely fascinating.  The characters are too be admired as they live each day just like anyone else, even though death is close at hand. It's one of those books that is hard to put down. You just want to keep reading it in one grand sweep.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1NYZOYTUP6X4X?ASIN=014242417X	Bought it for my daughter, but was looking for something to read...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I started this book a little concerned as to whether or not I would like it.  I don't typically read young adult fiction, but my daughter had heard great reviews and I was on a trip and needing something to read.  I really enjoyed this book, as well as the characters.  I am not much for writing reviews, however I typically rely on them to help me find a good read and this is a good read.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2TBMUD3NPGL2H?ASIN=014242417X	okay.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I hate reading, despise it, I think it's a waste of time when you could literally bedding anything else with your life, something exciting, adventurous, a self discovering journey, etc. but this is one of the few books on the planet that I picked up and binge read through, it is a fantastic piece of literature and the author is nothing short of a prophet. Thank you John Green, thank you.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RJDHUESPPEWGZ?ASIN=014242417X	Good for young readers	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This was a good read and would especially be good for young readers around middle school/high school age. Easy read and interesting. Of course I live in Indiana so having it set in Indiana (a very rare setting indeed) was fun.<br/>This is more of a ""girl"" book so ladies would probably enjoy it more for the love story. However, it is simply a good read, so boys may also enjoy it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3820EGMK7BPLG?ASIN=014242417X	My favorite book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">After the first reading, this book became my favorite book. I am glad it got suggested to me by my cousin. As a teenager with cancer, I definitely find the characters of Hazel, Gus, and Isaac extremely relatable. This book will go down in history as John Green's masterpiece (although his other books are great).<br/><br/>I would highly recommend this book. I feel that it is a must read.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2Q7HKQKB0TWVC?ASIN=014242417X	It hurts. Do it anyway.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Let me start by saying that I hated this book until I was exactly 92 percent done with it. The pain of knowing and loving characters with terminal illnesses was a lot for this emotionally spoiled woman. However, I discovered that the pain was worth it for saying that I knew these characters for a brief flash of time. You were right, Matt. It is a good book. Sorry I fought you about that.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2RKSO4021NPD9?ASIN=014242417X	So sad	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Interesting but very depressing. such a cynical view of life and death. Having lived through multiple relatives who have suffered with a variety of cancers, some surviving some who didn't, I understand the variety of emotions are real. I wouldn't recommend this to most readers without the caveat that it is a downer.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1Z3718ADG9VUU?ASIN=014242417X	Sorry but outside of the unremitting sympathy we as readers ...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Sorry but outside of the unremitting sympathy we as readers are called upon to feel toward the main characters of this book, I fail to understand the ""draw"" of this novel.  After wading through 2/3 of the book and it's weak plot, I finally gave up.  I'm certain somebody dies in the end but honestly I'm not able to tolerate reading another paragraph in order to find out who does.</span>"
1.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2VJXAUEX5XEEB?ASIN=014242417X	Great	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I was skeptical going into this book about whether I would like it or not. I tend to not read a lot of YA stuff, because a lot of it can feel kind of pretentious and fake, but went ahead with this on a trusted friend's recommendation.  I am very happy that I did. This book felt real, and really moved me. It is not often a book brings me to tears, but this did. A beautiful book. Loved it</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3HIC3UW7D0S4M?ASIN=014242417X	Read the book, watch the movie or do both!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Read the book then immediately watched the movie.  Like most books made into movies, the book has far more detail but the movie is good by itself as well.  Tragic story of kids dealing with terminal illness told from Hazel's perspective and it is impossible to not love her.  You know it will not end well but it keeps your attention and actually ends quite well considering the situation.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2OK9852ONG0XJ?ASIN=014242417X	Moving	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Nicely done. It is not easy to write so convincingly about a tough topic like childhood cancer, but the author manages to do a fine job. I liked all the characters, and the humor was just right. There were several times when it felt as though the dialogue was too old or not particularly authentic for the characters, even if they were intelligent. The love story was sweet and believable.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R38A47ZJGNXB2N?ASIN=014242417X	I want more	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Without being a spoiler, as Hazel was with her book, I want to know more about how the characters lives continue.<br/>I've known numerous terminally ill kids, and as seen here, the stoicism is marked. More so to me than with adults. It was enlightening to get the perspective through the eyes of Hazel and makes me wonder if the author had more insight than noted in the acknowledgements.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3PQGDUX374WPC?ASIN=014242417X	Unforgettable story...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">You might get tired of buying Kleenex, but this book is worth every tear.  This story is smart and real.  Not a word or tissue wasted.  The characters stayed with me, and so many memorable lines, one line in particular, ""You die in the middle of your life, in the middle of a sentence.""  This is a must read if you've ever questioned the meaning of life, or the legitimacy of love.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RMCA02KQKEGIU?ASIN=014242417X	More...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This was my first John Green book and I must say that this book was more than I expected it to be! When books are made into movies I always read the book first to see what good parts the movie will omit...I must say that nothing should be omitted here! I laughed and cried at the love story that had a definite ending before it began! This book reminded me of the beauty that is true love!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1PENM7FAN74PY?ASIN=014242417X	DFTBA	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I loved this book. The hope of finding love in such a  dire circumstance is profound. To be so young and have to face one of life's biggest monsters is heart breaking but to know you have true love to see you through even the darkest moments is inspiring.<br/> I've been a nerdfighter for some years now and it's been exciting to see John's success. Here's to more mountains to climb! ~_~</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2GQ5F98Y18CUJ?ASIN=014242417X	Touching Story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Touching story about how a girl with terminal cancer falls in love with a wild and adventurous boy (who also has cancer). You can probably predict the ending pretty easily, but it was still a great read. I absolutely fell in love with Hazel's sarcastic and witty personality. She definitely made the book. I'm excited to see the movie, even though I don't love the male lead they chose. :)</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I'll admit I put off reading this book because the subject matter is terrifying to mean and I felt it could only end in a really depressing manner. As I read/listened to the Audible book though, yes I cried, but I also felt grateful. Here is a novel that articulated what I'm sure a good majority of us what to feel everyday, what it is like to embraced, remembered, and above all...loved.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R5VBKUZVX60YE?ASIN=014242417X	Best book ever!!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book, The Fault in Our Stars is a very good book to read, especially if you like a lot of drama, and events that make you cry. I cried many times while reading this novel, and, although I cried, I was also happy at the same time. I would highly recommend this book to all readers, even if they might not be interested at first. This book will have you hooked and keep you up at night.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RSXWEX6NAFAH8?ASIN=014242417X	Not your average book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Everything about this book is written perfectly. Thank you John Green!<br/><br/>Not about the book exactly, but kind of. My friend who hated reading a year ago read Looking For Alaska, and loved it. So she then read this and told me to read it! She loves reading now! It's just a matter of finding a good book, and let me tell you, this is that good book that will encourage you to read!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RSC8ID7RVI7L9?ASIN=014242417X	Read this and your life will change	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is profound. It has a deep message that reaches deep into your soul tugs at it for a bit then lets go so it can free fall. The author writes this very well and not exactly like you would expect from a book of this subject matter. I understand that it cannot fully encompass the severity of this deadly disease, but its underlying message is worth the read. Well done and read on.</span>"

I found my self searching the internet for AIA which is a book that is talked about in this book and Im not the only one there are lots of searches for the same thing and to see if this is based on a true story. Which it's not. Great book. My 14 yr old daughter actually recommended it and I'm thankful she did. Enjoy.</span>"

My whole being feels heartbroken. I don't know where to go from here. Of course I am speaking from the world inside this masterpiece. It's funny ,as much as you take from the book is as much as it takes from you. I'm exhausted from the emotional rollercoaster I purchased for $3.99, most certainly the most emotion I have felt in years.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RNLT03UCFTV86?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in Our Stars by John Green	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars is about two teenagers who fall in love and battle cancer together. Hazel and Augustus meet in therapy group and its love at first sight, they exchange books and travel to Amsterdam. When Augustus's cancer returns, Hazel never leaves his side because she knows he has limited time left. It teaches the importance of living life at all costs, even at the end of life.</span>"

You fall in love with them individually and together and ride the rollercoaster with them with many emotions. If I can promise you one thing, is you will need tissues. Honestly this has been my favorite book of all time. I will read it again, and more than likely cry again. Highly recommend. xx</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2ZNF307VQ7I0J?ASIN=014242417X	Touching	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I'm not usually a reader of books full of serious life problems that don't miraculously disappear into a happy ending. I had a friend recommended this book and am so glad I read it. The characters are easy to love yet flawed. And the honesty of the inner dialogue is both refreshing and terrifying. I really enjoyed this book and I have a feeling that I'll like it more as I reflect on it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2HE5IKXKYEY15?ASIN=014242417X	Not what I thought	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I enjoyed the story overall.  However, as a cancer survivor, myself  I thought the talk was a little over the top.  I thought this was about cancer at first, but it really is just a love story.  It had its ups and downs.<br/><br/>I'd recommend it because its an easy read.  It doesn't quite end like you'd expect, but it will definitely get you thinking and thankful for your own health</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3U07906E68000?ASIN=014242417X	Read it and weep.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read this because my young teens were reading it and talking about it.  So I didn't expect to be so engrossed, confronted, moved, reminded, and devastated by this beautiful, empowering, tragic book.  Author John Green weaves a sensitive story of young love, sex and death, without sentimentality, and with just an edge of cruelty towards his characters.  A mature read for young adults.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3AO6OUEY1BUIL?ASIN=014242417X	An okay read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Green has the voice of a typical teenager in this book. While I found the story interesting, it wasn't as engaging as I expected after the hype from my middle school students. I understand why they loved it though - young love in a difficult situation with a mix of tragedy. Pretty well done. There is language, which I don't often care for, but it does resonate with how many teens talk.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R7IPY863CHV5P?ASIN=014242417X	Loved JUST about everything!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I really enjoyed this book but felt that the sexual encounter was NOT necessary to feel/experience the  teen ""love.""  I especially liked the way the characters portrayed their feelings about cancer in an unsugarcoated manner.  I also think Green did a great job with the mother's character; I know as a mom I probably would do many of the same things if faced with this situation.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1RXJSTTX0QFHA?ASIN=014242417X	So good and so sad	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read this book from recommendations and fell in love from the start. I practically inhaled this book and then I was suddenly finished, left only with a deep sadness. Hazel is a great narrator and Augustus is like the perfect, God-given wish come true. Expect your heart to be tugged on and I suggest you have a box of tissues nearby when you read. Expecting great things from the movie.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R162ZQWR1PK2EI?ASIN=014242417X	A moving story that turns Maslov's pyramid to shame	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">A must read! John Green's language and style of writing has a certain style that just makes this book a joy to read. The story is touching and deep, but without being mushy. The characters are very believable and likeable. It's been some time since I finished it, but I still find myself thinking about the story and the characters, which is not that common for me after finishing a book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1XIEXA6H8ULJ6?ASIN=014242417X	wow.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I love the author's way of thinking. I love his attitude. Loved it since he author's note. ""I made it up."" he'd said.<br/><br/>It's that kinda book that is so deep and so profound you wanna go after every book and every author and every quote and every game mentioned to experience it. Too see if they're real. Yup, I googled that ""An Imperial Affliction"" book too. LOL.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3EAVQGEA2V56Z?ASIN=014242417X	Sweet story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is a very sweet story of two cancer kids who fall in love. I like this book because it truly depicts the personality of teenagers. I love the fact that it portrays real teen personalities instead of portraying teenagers who are ""cancer nice"". The only problem that I have with the book is the uncertainty of the after life, which I guess is also sadly real and common in our society.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R74NZXUOY5DTL?ASIN=014242417X	Addicted to this novel	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I am so in love with this novel. I was captivated by the first page and couldn't put it down. I found myself laughing, crying, and saying things aloud like ,"" WHAT! That did not just happen! Awww! That is so sweet...etc.""  you truly grow attached to Hazel and Augustus as you watch their stories unfold. I would read this novel as Hazel read An Imperial Affliction- a million times over.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1CQVLA7J7UPJO?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book has some many meanings that are in unexplainable. It touches your heart. You can feel the emotion. It feels like something is intoxicating your body. Your heart changes. Your heart stretches. You have more space in yourself for love. And you wonder what your expedition in love will be like. And forever will you remember you want to die with your love story within your heart.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RYMJCXTEZCUUO?ASIN=014242417X	Uplifting in spite of the Sadness	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I knew before I began reading that this was a book about cancer, and that a recent movie had been based on it.  But the author does a really good job of bringing his characters to life, fascinating the readers with them, and telling a story that is inspiring and uplifting in spite of any sadness.  He also makes me want to ""live my best life now.""  I highly recommend this book.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1DDVZNQPAANOZ?ASIN=014242417X	Soon much better than the movie..	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I chose five stars for this amazing book.. I honestly believe it deserves way more than that.. I love how it shows that love can happen even in the darkest of times and it can grown to be absolutely beautiful. I recommend The Fault In Our Stars to everyone because it's such an amazing book.. ( it only took me 4 1/2 days to read it but I'm pretty sure I could have finished it in two..)</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1YDFBS0BJ0QLJ?ASIN=014242417X	... book as the author did very well & I enjoyed the read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Hard to review this book as the author did very well &amp; I enjoyed the read, but I don't know that I would recommend it. I liked the way there were little statements planted throughout to challenge you, but in general it was a hard pill to swallow. I understand that's reality &amp; have lived through this type of heartache myself, but I guess I'm still just a Disney happy ending kinda girl.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R33W64ZLX05G6?ASIN=014242417X	Why the young adult classification??	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I'm far past young adult and I love this story.  It is about teenagers who fall in love.  Not exciting, I suppose, unless you understand that they both have cancer.  their love story grows and expands through the book, always with CANCER looking between the lines.  While it is a simple story,, it is a deeply satisfying one.  The ending is a real bummer.  But,, it is true to the story.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3V88AMJJY16HN?ASIN=014242417X	SO SAD!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read this book for my English III class and you were able to choose your own book. I researched and researched books to find the perfect one and I finally just gave up and settled with this one. Boy am I glad that I did. I read this book in less than a week. It was so addicting. Gus and Hazel are soooooo cute. Plus, I cant wait for the movie to come out in less than a week! AHHHHHH!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RK8HT2EI0BTKY?ASIN=014242417X	Not What I Expected	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Really kind of disappointed with this read.  It has so many good reviews, but for me, the book just didn't deliver.  Predictable, emotionless, vague.  I wanted to like this book, and it had some good content, but perhaps it is more geared towards a younger crowd.  I think if you have already been through the realities of live, love, death, disease - this book has nothing new to offer.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2OP3LQ6Q8VQMW?ASIN=014242417X	No Faults In Our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">John Green managed to capture the teenage experience once again, this time through support groups, champagne, and young love. Green wrote an atypical love, life, and death story through the eyes of Hazel Grace Lancaster a girl of sixteen years fighting the civil war of cancer. If you are looking for laughs, tears and an uphill rollercoaster ride, The Fault in Our Stars is a must read!</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R238ZOW69DMS1M?ASIN=014242417X	tear jerker	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">An interesting turn on the life of adolescents and how they are forced to deal with very adult situations. I found it obvious that it was written by a male as all the women in the book lack a certain something that makes a woman, a woman. Overall, a good read...if you feel like crying several times and then worrying about your own child and their health every morning, noon, and night.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R29SSD5NPKL0ZK?ASIN=014242417X	Better than I expected.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I may have been guilty of not wanting to buy into hype by waiting so long to read this.<br/>I'm glad I did, for the most part it feels  flawlessly written. I was taken out of the story a bit once<br/><br/>(Possible mild spoiler)<br/><br/> Van Houten's theatrics started. But I wouldn't deny an author the ability to suspend disbelief, and I did quite like the character in any case.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3ADCPP4CDKKIB?ASIN=014242417X	AMAZING!!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Many people told me to read this book, but I refused for a long time. I hate reading unless it's a really good book, and those are hard to find. This book was that one book that left a mark on me. I will forever more remember it as the best book ever. I cried countless times, but I also laughed. It made me feels sad, thankful, and most of all, happy. I'm SOOOOOOO glad I got this book!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R39M0YF9M24N0O?ASIN=014242417X	An absolute yes	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I have read dozens of books and most teenage books are only good in the beginning before it gets cheesy, and that is when I set that one aside. But this book while a sad love story, keeps you fixed to the very end of the book. And when you get to the end of the book, you cannot help but wish there was more to the book. To see how it continues on. But sometimes it is best left unknown.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3SVDO4NWZ6ZVP?ASIN=014242417X	Ok book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was an entertaining read but nothing to write home about.  I was surprised that this book didn't wow me very much because it came highly recommended by many sources including Time Magazine.  The characters were quirky and sarcastic and some interesting points were made about cancer patients, but I had a hard time emotionally connecting to the book. It is an easy read though.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R16HPFVD252O15?ASIN=014242417X	Some infinities feel too short	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">As a smoker, tried to stay away from this book about cancer patient lovers. Ultimately gave in and was pleasantly surprised at how light mooded it was and fun to read. The book felt a tad short. Probably because i liked the characters and wanted to read more about them. Author showed mercy by resisting the temptation of abruptly ending the story by killing off the female protagonist.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1IRVL8R5CJSD7?ASIN=014242417X	Read this book in a day	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">What a read. I so enjoyed this book in many ways. I got pulled into the book right from the start. The support group and Augustus Waters and Isaac and even Patrick. I cried when Augustus told Hazel he ""lit it up"" and then cried again when he attended his own funeral and the one last time when he passed. Wasn't so happy with the ending though. Think I would have changed that a little.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R11IVMTS4M13WK?ASIN=014242417X	Beautiful story about cancer's ugliness	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Heartfelt and lovely story about two young people who, despite death sentences, find strength and love in eachother and in what will be two unfairly shortened lives.  Believable dialogues between the characters made me feel like a fly on the wall, listening to honest, gut-wrenching conversations between all the characters.  I cried, laughed, and found the book impossible to put down.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1O5SZW0FGLE72?ASIN=014242417X	I'm late to read this, but I love it	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book made me cry over and over again. I'm not the king of person to cry, but I think everyone wants a love story like Augustus and hazel. Well, we at least want to get noticed by someone as much as these two do. We want to leave a mark on the world. We don't want to be a grenade. Cancer is a painful, stupid thing, but just like hazel states, it only wants to live like you and I.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1G6H7F1VYSG3O?ASIN=014242417X	Great insight from a cancer patient's view	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read this book after the movie came out.  I haven't seen the movie yet, but wanted to compare the two.  It's a love story of young adults with cancer and their innermost thoughts and feelings.  It was easy to read, stop, then read again without having to go back to refresh your memory.  I highly recommend it to anyone that has dealt with cancer, and in this day and age, who hasn't?</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2NZA49IBISNNI?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in our LOVE	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book has really got me thinking about all different things. In the story, Hazel mentions that Cancer Kids are just side effects, and I believe that is true. My mom was reading this book, so I started reading it, too. It was a good decision. If you have ever experienced Cancer, I would seriously think about reading this book. I hope that you, reader, would choose to read this. :)</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R34KXS9E2LWOID?ASIN=014242417X	I luv it	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">It was sad but really good! I hope John green makes a sequel. This book was very sad, but had so many turning points and unexpected things. This book was just so interesting! It was brilliant!<br/>The book is approximately 280-300 pages long.<br/><br/>Recommended for ages 12-18, or just 12+.<br/>Type of book: Possible fiction, meaning it didn't really happen, but it could (have).</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3H88HRLNNT4FF?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing book!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read this book on the recommendation of my 14 year old granddaughter, who is mature behind her years. We both cried our eyes out because you could feel their pain. Imagine having to deal with this at such a young age, not know your future, or if you will gave one! There are children out there now showing bravery we could never imagine, and this is a reminder to open you eyes to it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2AFHWLDBPUF7O?ASIN=014242417X	Never forgotten	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is an extraordinary piece of work. I think I could reread it a million times and it never get old! This book makes readers remember that not all people are lucky enough to live a long happy life.. it shows many different lessons that hazel &amp; Augustus  learn throughout this novel. John green did an excellent job portraying this touching story. Excellent book, you'll fall in love!</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2GEEVXXB4QGF9?ASIN=014242417X	John Green's stunning words	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is beautifully, thoughtfully written. Green has a way of keeping the narrative true to a teenager's, while keeping the thoughts and actions of the characters real and unsappy. It lives up to the hype and while I personally didn't ugly cry while reading this, I couldn't put it down. Definitely get this if you want a well-written, intelligent, and realistic book in your life.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2RY38PE8MAY3Q?ASIN=014242417X	One of the best books I have ever read.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">John Green is a very talented writer, because this book made cry. The last time I cried over a book was when I read ""Where The Red Fern Grows"". This book is heartwarming, romantic, tragic, and somewhat humorous. Not all books end with a very happy ""happily ever after"", this book is no exception. However, it ended with a more heartbreaking ""happily ever after"".</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2VSGZ86T6ITKU?ASIN=014242417X	I couldn't stop reading	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I know for an inescapable fact, I will not be watching this as a movie in theaters. this book was truly amazing and I feel honored to have read it. it took me two days to get through it. I am pleased with the fact I read it at home. no one at work needs to see me blubber like a baby over a book. thank you John for writing it and please do not become like Peter, you are very talented.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2CAE8HUAQ5C92?ASIN=014242417X	Great Teen Lit	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">When I thought this was adult literature I was a little disappointed in the writing  and style.  The story and characters had my attention but it felt a little light.  When I realized the intended audience I changed my perspective.  I thought the story was really good and it definitely kept me reading. Because I felt the intended audience was more in the teen realm I gave it 4 stars.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R13ZA2GDR088ZB?ASIN=014242417X	transcendent	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">A stellar look into the meaning of life, pain, and loss that goes beyond platitudes and isn't afraid not to try to provide all the answers. DO NOT begin reading this book if you have anything important coming up in your life, because it's beautifully written characters and story will consume your soul until you finish the book.<br/><br/>Also, you will need tissues. Lots of tissues.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R97SNN51APVCJ?ASIN=014242417X	In Love	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I absolutely love this book. Not only did Augustus and Hazel fall in love, I did too. I've never fallen into a book so much, I couldn't stop reading it. I sobbed and I laughed and I had salty tears run down my face every page I read. If you don't like this book. well your an idiot. This book cannot be rated with stars, it captures life and death at its finest. John Green is a genius.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3ASE1S04AHZE2?ASIN=014242417X	A truly great read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I don't normally get too emotional when reading a book.  I think that even if I hadn't lost my son not long before I read this book it would have reduced me to a puddle of tears.  Well-written and not really for young adults, in particular.  Really for parents, I think, as the main target audience.  Not a downer, even though you'll be taken through a wringer before you're through it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1QOFUD0XO70RD?ASIN=014242417X	told my sister to read it	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">High compliment. Telling someone else to read what I read in a couple of days because it intersected me in so many ways. Nerdy girl  who rails against fairy tale princesses but loves a good charming boy meets difficult girl book. And oh. My mom is fighting with living with wrestling with breast cancer and it's side effects like more cancer. Told my sister to read it. I hope she does.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2F22B0M60QKRD?ASIN=014242417X	Pack Some Kleenex	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Oh John Green, how did you take two teenagers and pack the meaning of life and love into a few months of their star-crossed lives?<br/><br/>I was warned, and it's a book about a girl with cancer, for goodness sake. I expected to cry at the end. I didn't expect to cry through the last quarter of the book.<br/><br/>This one will stay with me for a long time. Thank you for the ride.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RZZQV7VPMECR5?ASIN=014242417X	I loved this awesome	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I loved this awesome, heart-breaking story about two teenagers diagnosed with cancer.  The dialog is somewhat unusual for teenagers but it keeps the story interesting.  The only thing that I didn't quite like was that I didn't want the book to end!  I was left wondering, ""Now what?  What will become of Hazel?""  Read the book, then watch the movie.  You won't be disappointed.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1WK1EMY269PNB?ASIN=014242417X	I was surprised how good this book was	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I don't know what made me choose this book to start reading, I only know I couldn't put it down. It was such an honest approach to how young people with cancer deal with their prognosis and interact with each other. The characters were so real and instead of the book being totally depressing it gave me a whole new insight to the struggles of anyone diagnosed with a terminal illness.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1NXDZ3H5TZLD?ASIN=014242417X	Overall, a solid book.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This was a fast read! I liked how even though it is a book about teens with cancer, Hazel was never held a victim mentality. Although the occurrences are fairly predictable, that doesn't mean that tears didn't flow heavily throughout the story. I don't feel like this book is life-changing, but if I was 15 years old again, it might be. Definitely worth a read, but keep tissues handy.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RFGKWHR04WVX0?ASIN=014242417X	To the end	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Not until the end I wasn't sure if I liked the book somewhat or more. I liked it okay because most of the writings were true to itself. Nevertheless, tHe theme was  revealed at the end and it's the par of thinking I'm having lately. Although my biggest question why are we here on this planet wasn't discussed, the book had an answer to my second one: how significant of our lives are.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/ROBQBE4OM6WRK?ASIN=014242417X	Love & time	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I loved it it's the kind of novel that puts real life perspective not only healthy persons fall  in love, the I'll love and sometimes more than perfectly healthy sane people except they do not take for granted the time  they've err left  to spend because you never know when someone's time clock will tactic for the last time sometimes forever can be shorter than we'd like to imagine.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was so hard to put down I had to finish it within two days. This book is so emotional, it makes you feel invested and the emotions the characters feel you feel. when things got to an emotional high point towards the end of the book there was not much else to do aside from cry. This book is one of my favorites i would recommend it to anyone looking for a GREAT book to read.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1AQBUP3XVWVI1?ASIN=014242417X	Not what I expected	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I'm not exactly sure what I expected, but this wasn't it.  I guess I'm too far removed from the adolescent scene, and although I could sympathize with those kids with cancer, I didn't relate at all.  I don't know many adults who use words like soliloquy and nihilism, much less teenagers.  I'm glad I read the book so I could understand all the hype, but it wasn't a great read for me.</span>"

Didn't like the way it ended.  I know of several young people around 13 yrs old are reading it,  their coment was it's sad but they liked it.  One of the book clubs read it and that's where I learned of the book.  I don't know what they thought of it.  They made a movie of this book.  Not interested in seeing it.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3PCPC11976G5L?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in Our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is a very romantic book yet a heart breaker. It will keep you up all night just wanting to read it more and more. Be prepared to cry and laugh and cry some more. Very romantic love story that is in a way like Romeo and Juliet. There is some language in this book that is a little if ie, but what teenager doesn't cuss? This book is probably for 7th through high school kids/teens.</span>"

I did not think it could be beat. I am not a huge reader, but, as a seventeen year old high school student, Green has put my faith back into it. Thank you , John Green, for giving me something that I was very into all the way through. Every high school student should read one piece by John Green. They will be very excited.</span>"

I felt like author knew  how to connect  with all audiences through one if not a few of the characters. I really feel like I knew Hazel and Augustus like friend  of my own and I think that's why this story was so emotional. I really enjoyed it and I feel like I will want to reread it.</span>"

""Ms. W...you need to read this. And when you do make sure you have a box of these"" (handing me the Kleenex box off of my desk).

It kind of gives a real world look on a love story,  tragic and sad, yet has a happy light to it. I wish it went on longer cause I finished  it so fast, from not being able to put it down. I WILL read it again, along with seeing the movie as well as tell others it's a must read. I wish for a sequel!!!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1F9Y9AEML8SY0?ASIN=014242417X	NEW Perspectives	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book gave me and many others a new outlook on life. Most of the novels I read are about cancer, but this exceeds all. It was not only about cancer but what happens to us after death. I for one believe that there is a heaven and that it is for all who obey. The Fault in our Stars taught me that ""Life is not a wish-granting factory"". You don't always leave with what you came for.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2FVPZOQO359IC?ASIN=014242417X	Beautiful	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">There are no words to describe this book. It is a masterpiece in and of itself. To any one who loves a heartwarming tale of love and loss it is the perfect choice. I believe it is the kind of book one can read over and over again and still find something different to love about it each time. It's innocent and mature at the same time. It's a lovely story that many love and will love.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RC858K1VZUURJ?ASIN=014242417X	Indifferent	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I started to like the two angst-y teens but often I began to dislike Hazel. Her struggle with the falseness of others just rubbed me wrong and instead I saw her as nothing but a whiny teen that wanted her way, which adjust annoyed the crud out of me. I think the story itself was beautifully written and it painted such vivid imagines in my imagination, so that's why I am indifferent.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1JPTEQZ6G71Y9?ASIN=014242417X	One Of My Favorites!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Definitely a powerful story that was very well written and a page turner until the very end. The characters of Hazel Grace Lancaster and Augustus Waters are well developed and very realistic. You really start to feel sympathy for them because of the tragic circumstances that surrounds them. I would consider this my favorite by John Green and I would definitely recommend this book!!</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RSY6QUERZX701?ASIN=014242417X	Highly suggested to read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Well written, couldn't place the book down.  I've been dying to watch the movie, but refused to till I read the book.<br/>Now I can't wait till I watch the movie. John Green done a great job with detail, emotion, and flow of book. You definitely will want to add this book to your collection.  If you've already watched the movie and haven't read it yet, I highly suggest reading it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3DVQW188B9NDV?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was amazing. I was sadly at the injustice of watching the movie before reading the book. It was just as amazing. Alot of things that I didn't understand in the movie were explained in the movie. For those who have seen the movie I recommend the book and for those who want to read the book. I urge you to read the book and then watch the movie. You will not be disappointed.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3IKX119Z3ZHCB?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing love story, not quite like one you've ever read about.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Such a good book! A real page turner. Emotional, touching and wonderfully written. A great love story, not quite like one you've ever read about. The characters were great, the struggle was real. A real honest take on a horrible disease. It's the kind of book you can't put down, that leaves me feeling warm and filled with gratitude &amp; grace. I am hating cancer even more now as well!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3C11K2TAX2UKI?ASIN=014242417X	Great!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">As an adult, this book was a little bit too YA for my tastes. I know it's a YA book and I shouldn't be surprised to read anything less, but with all the rave reviews I couldn't wait to read it just to see what all the fuss was about. That being said, it was a delightful read and not the typical cancer sob story. John Green certainly has a skill for crafting very likable characters.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R29D75UUDYTRZW?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault In Our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read this on my son's recommendation and it was great read. So well written, thought provoking, sometimes poetic. Rings of truth in the portrayal of parents left to survive vs the children waiting to die. Touching on the dual existence of individual beliefs with an universal need to seek and give comfort. Tells the story without dragging it out; letting the ending quietly linger.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2DLLQ4IAZ7CXM?ASIN=014242417X	Tragically beautiful	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Even though you begin reading this ill-fated story, you can't help but love the characters and wish that their story would somehow change. You fall in love with Hazel and Augustus. You wish you could feel the love that they share, even with it ever-so-briefly. I can easily relate to Hazel and the personalities gave me several good laughs on top of equal to greater amounts of tears.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RM9E09132S6FO?ASIN=014242417X	I am speechless	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I have never had a book that I actually cried. I am very picky about the books I read. I didn't know if I would like this book. As it has been made into a movie, but I took a chance. I'm glad that I did. I could relate to watching someone with cancer die. As my grandfather died of cancer, almost a year ago. I was getting chocked up. I will keep this book as one of my top ten reads.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RPNEGA45XUH48?ASIN=014242417X	Lost in a book for a few hours	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Ever read a book and it sucked? And kept reading thinking that maybe<br/>It would get better only to be disappointed in the end? You lose those hours and can't get them back. Hours you could of spent on doing something else, whatever it may be.<br/>  Not with this book. Easily has become one of my favorites. Written so well. You get lost in it. Moving from beginning till the end.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3FBYVOJ29LGRI?ASIN=014242417X	The story itself was pretty good, but the teenagers were so intellectually advanced	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I would rate this book as ""fair"".  The story itself was pretty good, but the teenagers were so intellectually advanced, at times I didn't know what they were talking about.  Maybe I'm just dumb, but I usually don't have to reread parts a couple of times to try to think what is meant.  I've lost a few people close to me to cancer, so I could identify with parts of the book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2QBYO5XR0PG0J?ASIN=014242417X	10 year old's perspective...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I bought this as a gift for a ten year old reader and I thought maybe the subject matter would be a little much for her. To my surprise, she read this book within a week and told me she loved it. I personally did not read it, but it speaks volumes when this kid actually reads a book with any enthusiasm. I may read it in a month with an adult's perspective and write another review.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1XLMLI8Q4IOQX?ASIN=014242417X	but I feel like it has earned the right	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">A little predictable, but still a decent story. August Waters is one of the more enjoyable characters I've encountered recently, and Hazel is ok as well. the story is sappy, but I feel like it has earned the right. so read it, but only if you can bear in mind that this is a young adult book, and the story is not as complex as it could have been if written for a different audience.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R17EBNDE0AB472?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing Read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">My daughter read this novel first and as we often enjoy the same things she recommended that I read it. The story is well written and the characters are well developed. While the book details teenagers with cancer it is more than that. It is the love story of Hazel and Gus. It is alternately funny, sad, beautiful and tragic. It is a worthwhile read and I would highly recommend it.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2F2G4AQP5IDY?ASIN=014242417X	The Ending was off half of a star	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I totally enjoyed this book, but at the same time I felt the same as Hazel when she wanted to know what happens to the characters in her favorite book An Imperial Affiction.  As in AIA, as well as in The Fault in Our Stars, I felt robbed not knowing the future of these characters. As I was reading I really thought John Green would not do the same, but I highly recommend this book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1W660E4NARII7?ASIN=014242417X	Oh My Goodness	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I can't believe how good this book is. The part that amazes me, is "" You gave me a forever in an amount of numbered days "" ( probably not exact but close ) I love how its all put together and how it all goes together. It was amazing and the movie sure did this book Justice. I love it ! Definitely a good read!! Beware its sobbing book. I cried through the middle to the end.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RZOT03U1PXSLW?ASIN=014242417X	Great	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">So I am not one who usually follows trends and hops on bandwagons but this was one that I just had to because of all the hype about it. To my surprise I thoroughly enjoyed this book. And yes it was sad in the way that everything unfolded but no I didn't cry because the character wouldn't have wanted that. I am greatly pleased that I read this book. I recommend to any and everyone.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R38OK2QWD0AGFJ?ASIN=014242417X	Wonderful in a heart-breaking kind of way	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was wonderful! It's not about cancer. It's not about teens. It's about families dealing with a tragic illness and how it becomes their ""new normal"". It's about teens who come together, despite their disease. How they follow their passions and connect with one another.<br/>It was uplifting and emotional. It was sad and inspirational. I highly recommend this book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R12DGHZGEH9DNX?ASIN=014242417X	Perfection	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in our Stars is one of those rare books that come ever so often that touch and speak to the soul as no other book can. Green knows exactly how to connect with his readers and has beautifully crafted the characters in the book. Along with his glorious writing style and his use of language this book has become a modern classic. I would recommend TFIOS to any and every one.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1SXWWCADW0VTS?ASIN=014242417X	This book is amazing!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I chose this rating because this is an amazing book, but Augustus didn't have to die that way.  I liked that every time something happened, it ended, but only to introduce a more exciting event.  I didn't like how Augustus Waters died.  I would recommend this book to anyone who likes a book with humor, but at the same time, sadness.  This is an amazing book!  Good job, John Green!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1AI8KT773FUE6?ASIN=014242417X	Great Read... emotionally magnetic	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The book flows well and you quickly learn to love the various characters in the book as well as their personalities.  The author did a great job and as a reader his description in his pages easily allows the reader's imagination to color in the scenes, characters, Indiana, emotions.  I would recommend this book to anyone.  Great 1 liners scattered throughout the book and I........</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R34WUODBKSPW5G?ASIN=014242417X	heart wrenching but funny	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Being a cancer survivor myself, I found myself laughing, nearly crying and identifying with every character in this story. Green is spot on with his depictions of the different types if cancer patients and survivors I've run into as well as their family and friends. I can not wait to see the film when it comes out, provided that Green has complete creative control. Well done, sir!</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RUQT7XN2KU86N?ASIN=014242417X	John Green is a wonderful author.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book has been praised by many, however the heart wrenching moments come at a cost. The faint of heart will be easily hurt by John Green's book, however he will aid in the healing process as well. I highly suggest reading any book before the movie and I stand by that with The Fault in Our Stars. It is a wonderful read and perfect for young adults or mature teens in my opinion.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1E3SF8B9EM0X6?ASIN=014242417X	Great writing style	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I loved peering into the relationship between these two very adult teenagers who suffer with cancer and the prospect of dying.  As these two friends face their own and each other's mortality, they demonstrate their strength of character, love and respect for each other, and appreciation for the support of their families. It serves as a lesson for the dying but also for the living.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RKC1AABEW6QWZ?ASIN=014242417X	Hard to follow love story tragedy	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">After all of the glowing reviews, I really wanted to like this book. But, I had a hard time following it and getting into it. If the story would have just focused on the love story of terminally ill kids, it would have been better. But the side story of an author in The Netherlands and his book detracted from the storyline. Despite this, I finished the book and will see the movie.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RW0RUZ5NU9FTF?ASIN=014242417X	Beautiful, Tragic, Well Written - a MUST read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I happened upon this book and tried a sample on a whim - and could.not.put.it.down.  Well, that's not entirely true.  I had to put it down at certain moments because I just couldn't be emotionally wrecked.  Yes this is touted as a YA book, but it is universal.  I am recommending to EVERYONE.<br/><br/>And while, they often disappoint, I am looking forward to the movie adaptation.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2EF0DHTQXP1MQ?ASIN=014242417X	Once started it is impossible not to finish	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Whether we have a short time or long time on earth the ideas of this book fill our minds and drive us to be who we are. The characters represent all the desires and abilities to deal with life. I felt each character to be myself at some point of life. If you enjoy an emotional look at the mirror in a fresh, realistic, and emotional way you will not put the book down once started.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3NYLOQ3A6UI46?ASIN=014242417X	Strong	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I have read some of the other reviews and I think that this book is incredibly strong. In the other reviews I have read I have seen one star and five. Some can't relate others can I've seen ""Umm... it sucked"" and ""best in years."" but I think that the book is incredible it has realness to it. something deeper than the book, All I can really say about this book is that it is Strong</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RITQD62TI2FMZ?ASIN=014242417X	Omg!!!!!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is probably the world's best book! I definitely want to read An Imperial Affliction now, if it is actually a real book. I cried a LOT at the end... at 1am. I literally could not put the book down and at the previously mentioned 1am, I had to force myself to turn my kindle off and sleep. Im not typically a romance girl, but this book makes it work. A must read for YA readers!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RM7VV93VMW6V5?ASIN=014242417X	Five Stars for Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I just finished reading this book and am still thinking about it -- and probably will for a long time. Very thought provoking about the ripple affect of life and death. Characters were well drawn and dialogue was believable and appropriate for the age and condition of the characters. I haven't seen the movie and don't have plans to -- I don't want to ruin the impact of this book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R39YAVHTJQ199E?ASIN=014242417X	I enjoyed the concept and some refreshing phrases	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">As in several other popular books/series in this genre, the teen angst sours after a while and becomes distracting.  I also find it difficult to accept that Augustus speaks as if from a teleprompter.  I enjoyed the concept and some refreshing phrases, but I will not read it again.  I will, however, see the movie in hopes that the story can be dealt some freshness and spontaneity.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R35A97U6YR7LT4?ASIN=014242417X	Teenage romance with tragedy	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I bought it accidentally and once I had it decided to read it. This is really a teenage girl romance with plenty of tragedy. I enjoyed the characters. I have a hard time believing the dialogue among the teen characters but it is a long long time since I was a teen. It is an easy red, took an afternoon. I don't recommend it for my demographic: 60ish man but my 60ish wife liked it.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/REP0HYO1AZU0E?ASIN=014242417X	Typical book review.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">It's an incredibly rare thing when I find a book that will keep me up into the early hours of the morning reading, trying to figure out what happens to the characters. I finished this book in exactly 5 1/2 hours. Honestly one of the greatest books I have ever read. John green has a way of making you connect to his characters on a personal level that many authors are unable to do.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2O0CY6THSASOB?ASIN=014242417X	A review from a teenage girl	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The book was very good. It played with people's emotions with the two teenagers with cancer in love. That it the reason this book is loved so much and it is a movie. Movies are a big thing with all of the teenagers which is why your book is well known. But because most of your audience is teenagers I felt that there was too much poetry and metaphors that they couldn't understand.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2SK0C5ZVSEDMK?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I gave this book 5 stars because it deserved it. I never ever read books and honestly if there were ever any more books like this I would have to read them. Coming from a 13 year old this book was very challenging to read at times. But I sure did show a lot of emotion from crying to laughing then being incredibly ticked off. This book is definitely worth the time it took to read.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2LOIIPHVLUWOX?ASIN=014242417X	as good as advertised by numerous sources	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Poetruiter<br/><br/>I'm a grandmother but couldn't resist a book that was garnering so much attention. I like fiction for younger readers. It tends to be dependent on good writing.  This was not disappointing. I doubt my husband could see the movie. Way too sad for him. But I feel I've seen the movie thanks to the description. The end is sneaky and understated, I must warn you.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RS1UIC4PQ354?ASIN=014242417X	fault in our stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Was very good and well written, though it didn't live up to my expectations. I had many influences that  portrayed the book to be better than it actually was, which affected my standards. Themes seemed to change every few chapters and weren't fully incorporated throughout the whole book. Overall, a good book that didn't end up being quite as great as everyone told me it would be.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2SPTKO0UEWV2I?ASIN=014242417X	Very good story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I am an adult who read this.... just putting that out there.  I thought it was such an entertaining book.  The characters were written so well, and although cancer is not always a positive subject, the book put a different spin on it to make it not seem so so tragic.  I didn't feel pity for the characters because of their approach to life.  It was very emotional but I enjoyed it.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2HPZP1WMC4BXQ?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is absolutely amazing! I am 17 years old and I don't usually like to read books like this. I came across this novel from watching a video on YouTube from TheFineBros, and they were getting teens to react to the movie trailer. I watched the trailer and thought I needed to read this book. I am really glad I did. This novel touched my heart and I really connected to it. c:</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3O2YAOVETN31M?ASIN=014242417X	Great novel	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is a touching novel. I read the reviews many times and avoided reading the book because I thought it would be too sad to handle. I was wrong. The author takes readers through a beautiful love story and while cancer is a part of it there is much more to this book then this very sad disease. If you've been debating whether or not you should read it, I recommend  you go for it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3TNBV3K74B98X?ASIN=014242417X	Her star is truly amongst the brightest.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">After being nothing less than truly captivated by this book I feel that I should/will highly recommend it to anyone I meet. I am not known for being an avid reader, but after watching John Green's YouTube videos for sometime I saved and bought one of his books. I now feel as if I have a greater understanding and appreciation for him (as the author) than I did prior to this novel.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RAZO1OE5Q9TJH?ASIN=014242417X	Definitely a great read.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read this book in a day. I couldn't put it down. I laughed, I learned new things, new meanings and I most definitely cried. One of the best books I've read in a long time. And some people may think oh, you know, people just say that. But honestly, it is a very well written book and it makes you think about a lot of things. Buying a physical copy to add to my collection of book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R18IPG23Y3QKCV?ASIN=014242417X	I really enjoyed this book.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read a lot of old literature and needed something new and fresh. I realized a few pages into the book that it was set in my home city, so that made it all the more enjoyable.<br/><br/>Long story short, it is a good read, but this isn't Tolstoy. I think it has been a bit over rated on amazon.com, but it is clever, well written, and touching. I would recommend it to my friends.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1YNY34Z85C4OW?ASIN=014242417X	This is a touching book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">My sister recommended this to me. I am so glad she did. I purchase it on my Kindles Fire. Even though my sister gave away the ending to me when I was half way through the book. It's in my Top 10 must read book list. I cared deeply for Hazel. I loved both her and Gus and I wanted so much for them as a couple. I cried my eyes out to this book. Their love story is better than anything I have read in a while. This is truly an amazing book. If you haven't read it yet you should.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RF844K0DWPT8R?ASIN=014242417X	Great book!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">It has been a while since I have begun reading a book and from the first page, could not put it down. I fell asleep reading it last night and immediately picked it up this morning to continue reading. I did want Hazel to get the answers to her questions about her favorite book but in the end those answers didn't really matter. Loved the book and look forward to seeing the movie.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3RBX77L3RE4WT?ASIN=014242417X	Best Book I Have Ever Come Across	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I absolutely loved The ""Fault in our Stars"". I felt a real connection with the characters. I laughed when they laughed and cried when they cried. I literally could not put the book down. I was finished within 2 days (which is extremely speedy for myself I might add). I recommend that everyone take the time to read this moving book. I promise you will not be disappointed.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1U7XZICSBXV07?ASIN=014242417X	simply amazing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">There were such crafty and inventive lines in the book about things that some people take for granted. I missed the movie while I was in theaters so I wanted to read the book before it came out again. Pretty sure I'll cry at the movies as much if not more than I did while I read it. If you haven't seen the movie like I haven't I challenge you to read it first. You wont regret it</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1OPM9Y3XPPLQU?ASIN=014242417X	Depressing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The whole premise of the book was depressing but i still thought that there would be some more uplifting moments. I found all the characters mildly annoying, especially the main ones who didn't really seem like teenagers. Were Hazel's continuous introspective thoughts typical of a young girl with cancer? it had some good detail like the visit to Amsterdam and Anne Frank's house.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R28DT3FUHTJ28S?ASIN=014242417X	There is fault in these stars!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">As with many books that are hyped up, I was expecting more from this one! A friend of mine told me her teen was reading it. As I read it, I thought how I wouldn't want my teen to read this! Language, sex, etc. I think this is evident of how desensitized we have become to language and sex in our world. I did not think it was well written, and frankly, couldn't wait for it to end.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R21POPHW3ENINI?ASIN=014242417X	A MUST READ!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Amazing book. I finished it in less than 12 hours, and couldn't help but to fall in love with Hazel. I cried most of the book. This book has taught me to appreciate the little, simpler things in life, like Augustus did. This is a great book that everyone should read. John Green is an amazing author, this story was written with such depth and grace (and it features great vocab!).</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1V576ZTNK4E1B?ASIN=014242417X	Couldn't put it down!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I loved the dialog between the two kids ... and how they each dealt with their illness.  They were such smart kids.  It is a very sad story.  I probably wouldn't recommend it to someone who was in the middle of serious illness in their family.  I would recommend it to anyone who needed to do some healing, and be touched by the depth of love shared by the characters in the story.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1M5NBSCLFUTM5?ASIN=014242417X	100% Amazing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">John Green is an amazing author. After reading this book for the second time I have come to the conclusion that John is both widely loved and deeply loved (a bit of a book reference from this book...). Though some of the parts in this book were a bit cliche, what romance novels aren'then? If you are considering reading this... just do it. Buy this book and indulge in its beauty.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R153Q0NDVBW8FX?ASIN=014242417X	A great read!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Ok this book is really sad and it did make me cry but it's original and very thought provoking - Have not read John green before but his writing style bounces along nicely and he makes these young characters believable. I thought Hazel's relationship with her parents was particularly well described - Not surprised it has been make into a movie just hope it does the book justice!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3QJH0QN92C0WE?ASIN=014242417X	Ahhhhh	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I wanted more!!! I really liked this book and will read it many more times, however I was not ready for it to end when it did and to be quite honest it really missed me off. I feel as though the author was building up to the cliff hanger throughout the book however I never saw it coming until it was over. I actually thought my kindle had messed up and skipped a chapter or three.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R294FVLTND7AG5?ASIN=014242417X	Tough subject done right	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Young couple with cancer....ugh, depressing, right?  Wrong!  Beautifully written, the author takes you inside the lives of young people dealing with this horrible disease...gracefully.  Should you fall in love when you know you only have a disease that is ultimately going to take your life...absolutely!  Why not go out with a smile on your face!  A quick read and worth the time.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RO38B8SG1BP16?ASIN=014242417X	entertaining and well-written	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I really enjoyed the writing style of this author. I quickly got into the story and finished the book in a few days--quite enjoyable. Although cancer isn't exactly something you want to read about for fun, it has a rather light-hearted quality to it that I think is part of what makes this book so likeable. You find yourself smiling even while reading about such emotional topics.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1UXAHWG3KBFYG?ASIN=014242417X	What a story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">When I bought the book I was a little leery as this was a different type of book for me. It turned out to be a very good but sad love story. Character development was especially good as you could watch the characters grow. This book made you laugh in places and cry in others but was one of the best books I have read in a long time. Very good fiction for young readers especially.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2B85P4UUWTK1T?ASIN=014242417X	A Favorite That Never Gets Old	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read a lot, but I hardly ever reread. I've read thousands of books, and probably a few dozen twice. But rarely do I read a book several times and still take away something new each time; The Fault in Our Stars has given me that. John Green is a marvelous writer, and a fabulous person. Read this book, and any other of his you can find. (Looking For Alaska is my favorite). DFTBA</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RET7UPGV999L?ASIN=014242417X	Interestingly Sad	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I knew before I read this book, that it was going to be about a tough subject, cancer.  I guess what I wasn't expecting is reading about such young people experiencing a devastating<br/>disease.  I really liked the two main characters, especially Hazel. She is a wise cracking teenager facing her own mortality and I find her humorous.  The book is very well written but very sad.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R6JU70FUHJPMR?ASIN=014242417X	From beginning to end this story pulls at the heart strings	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">From beginning to end this story pulls at the heart strings, seamlessly embracing various emotional tones like an ensemble harmoniously vocalizing highs, middles, and lows.  This authors' stylistic nomenclature and prose add empathy and authenticity to each point of view.  I'd strongly suggest that you read it, digest it, and share it!  Caution: it is not for the faint-hearted.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2BP1N45RIPVBT?ASIN=014242417X	Very sad but on point book about a real life threat	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Immediately you fall in love with Hazel Grace's character, just like Gus does. John Green is able to accurately understand teenage women to a T; inner thoughts, what we think about when dating, etc. Green is able to create characters and a story that you'll want to read over and over again. Granted, it's heartbreaking, but realistic. The world is not a wish granting factory. ;)</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3CL76UBQ90ZS5?ASIN=014242417X	A blessing in disguise	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Where do I start? this book was amazing. So thanks to Steve and Tony for the recommendation. Having lost my mother, unexpectedly, and far too soon... The themes of death, dying, and ones ability to move on after someone you love dies, completely resonated with me. Also, Mr. Green's ability to pry open and peek into the adolescent mind (at least my adolescent mind), was uncanny.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RPXCV57PJ1BWF?ASIN=014242417X	depressing, motivating, and hard to put down	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I hesitated to read this book because I thought it would make me sad.  It did.  But what doesn't kill you, only makes you stronger.  This is a well written book that instantly makes you feel like the characters are real (which only makes you feel sadder).  But what I got from this book that I did not expect was an urge to cherish everything, everyday.<br/><br/>Read this book!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2WEU58H96S2HA?ASIN=014242417X	Tears of joy and sadness all at once	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Sometimes you read books that make you cry because the author wants you to,  but with this book, I felt that I wasn't being manipulated to cry...I cried because the story felt real and it didn't force feelings out of me. I really enjoyed reading this wonderful book. The word "" okay"" has a new meaning. Thanks John for such a great story. Highly recommended! From teens to adults.</span>"

I would like to thank you for creating a story that showed me that the world is not a wish granting factory.<br/><br/>  sincerely,<br/>  Madisyn Hicks<br/>  (12)</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R12BFNKX7IQ5P9?ASIN=014242417X	LOVED THIS BOOK TO THE POINT OF ADORATION!!!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was recommended to me by my step daughter and boy am I glad I took her advice and ordered it immediately. It's not your typical love story which lured me in right away as I'm not a hopeless romantic. The strength the main character demonstrates is inspirational and the love she holds in her heart for Gus is eternal. Definately made this tough Mom cry a river of tears!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2PFBYG1ZHAANY?ASIN=014242417X	I loved this book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was beautiful. It want corny or sappy or the kind of book that makes you mad at everything: it was beautiful. I cried so hard at the end. But the whole story clicked together like a puzzle and even the sad pieces (no spoilers) made sense. I loved this book, and I would say everyone should feel the same, but they might hate it and that is their opinion. But I loved it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1U7OSF6EOMDXW?ASIN=014242417X	Wonderful!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is an amazing book that I will read over and over again. It is a beautiful love story that will make you laugh and cry (sometimes at the same time) and everything in between. It made me want to appreciate and cherish every moment I have with my loved ones just as Hazel and Augustus did with one another. I can't wait to see this beautiful story brought to life in the movie.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1MH0P8B641FXL?ASIN=014242417X	wow!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">What I love about this book is its ability to make you laugh, to make you cry, and to make you think. From the beginner I fell in love with the characters and I related to all the questions the had about life as well as death. I laughed, and I definitely cried through several parts of the book. It's an awesome read for anyone. And I enjoyed every emotion this book made me feel.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2QS3ENB4EV3BE?ASIN=014242417X	Wow.......	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is amazing beyond words. I cried, as did everybody else.... it is so amazing to read about stuff like this and just think about how blessed you are in this world.... I absolutely loved the book. To anyone who thinks they are going to be bawling their eyes out, it's actually quite funny, I laughed a couple of times. The ending is what leaves a mark though. Be prepared.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3SGZH8F4552G4?ASIN=014242417X	Phenomenal!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I never expected to like this book so much and I truly never expected to laugh as much as I did! The writing was superb and I fell in love with all of the characters. John Green has a way of expressing the thoughts, fears, struggles and triumphs of those who suffer in a way that doesn't elicit pity, but best wishes in dealing with the illness. Living with it, not dying from it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R31TYA6PDXJ75D?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing. This book changed my life and gave me a new look on life	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book really changed my point of view on life. It helped me realize that life isn't about waiting for marriage and blah blah. My whole life I thought what I was so post to do is wait for marriage to have sex and stuff. But this book showed me that today is the best day and that I need to live day by day not planning because life is what happens while your busy making plans.</span>"

With a fascinating love story. I didn't know how much I would love this book, I don't know how John green did it. I've read books before that try to be the voice of tenacious teenagers but this is the only one I've ever found to not be obnoxious. I loved this story I will be reading more from the author.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I liked the way u think Hazel will be the one to die but then I hate that Augustus had so little time. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves a romantic love story with sadness and happiness all intertwined together.  I gave it this rating because I don't like books that keep u hanging when the story ends. I'm like Hazel, in that way, I want to know what happens next.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2ZIRYEOEU1U18?ASIN=014242417X	Funny Moving & Poignant	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">A moving and funny story of young doomed lovers - two kids who have cancer and how they deal with it. As an adult outside of the target age range, I enjoyed the book tremendously but wasn't IN LOVE with it like my teenaged daughter. The dialogue is witty, the plot is compelling, and the feelings/story is honest and true. I much preferred John Green's WILL GRAYSON WILL GRAYSON.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R18EBCP32PHZBZ?ASIN=014242417X	accurate portrayal of terminal illness	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I'm a hospice nurse and when I started to read this book I was surprised how accurately the author captured the feelings of someone who is terminally ill. The only part of the book that was disappointing was when the man who wrote the book came to the states for the boys funeral. (Sorry I can't remember their names, it's been awhile since I read this book.) It was a good read.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R9RCX8KPOYYNI?ASIN=014242417X	bitter-sweet novel	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I can't even begin to describe my journey with this novel. I won't lie- The author succeeded in drawing some tears from my eyes. The story was narrated in such a lively manner although it mostly surrounds death and the inevitable expiration of our consciousness. Beautiful work of fiction that thoughtfully mirrors the sweetness and bitterness we collectively experience as LIFE!</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RFQBFCY1EQGMF?ASIN=014242417X	I sure like John Green	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">John Green has a very enjoyable and relatable style of writing. I'd read some of his other books and knew this would be a great read. It was. I knew it would be sad, but it's the satisfying kind of sad, you know? It's hard to imagine being a teenager with cancer, let alone a teenager falling in love. Green captures this beautifully, and I think it is definitely worth the read.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I don't like reading(no offence to anyone) or maybe I just haven't found a good book yet. I finally found the best book ever. I couldn't put this book down and it is my favorite book in the world. If you haven't read it, you haven't experienced the best book ever written. This book is a must read. Thank you for writing this book, John Green,  and making my life so much better!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1DEA7973YKFNP?ASIN=014242417X	Book Review	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I'd give this book 3 stars because that's what it really deserves. I would have definitely given it a 5 out of 5 stars but....... it was because of the ending. Just like in The Book Thief and Allegiant (third Divergent book) the beginnings were awesome but the ends just break your heart. It took me along time to get over this books ending so I do not recommend it what do ever.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2XNF5MYMG7506?ASIN=014242417X	THE BEST BOOK EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I fell in love with Hazel Grace and Augustus in the very beginning. I cried so much for them, feeling their pain. I will never know how real cancer patients feel but I had made a bond with two fictional cancer kids so I can try to imagine. They made me laugh and cry so much that my mom thought I was dying. I will never forget Hazel Grace and Augustus.""To good life Hazel Grace""</span>"

I could not put this book down!  I like most I'm sure saw the preview for the movie and decided I would try the book. I'm am so very happy I read the book first. When I started the book I had thought I already knew how it would end, boy was I wrong.  I can't wait to try some more books by John Green.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">All I can say is that I am one of the many teenagers that read this book and fell in love with not just the characters, but also felt their pain. The Fault In Our stars gets your heart reacting to the story. I have not yet read a better written book to even compare to the fault In Our stars. It's like you are in Hazel Grace 's place and pain. Cödos John Green, you made me cry.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RCZR28TSPJOB3?ASIN=014242417X	BEST BOOK EVER	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is by far the best book I have ever read. Now, that's not saying much considering I don't read often. But this book is remarkable. I defiantly recommend this book to any and all of the age. This book with some mild cursing really makes you realize how lucky you are yet at the same time how lucky you wish you were. Crazy, I know but you'll understand when you read it.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">John Green tells a beautiful story of two charismatic and precociously bright young high schoolers, each befallen with their own respective kinds of cancer.<br/>Green gives readers a poignant and humbling glimpse into their lives, inhibited and painfully complicated by their conditions, but beautifully enhanced by each other, and their mutually voracious love for one another.</span>"

To lose your loved one. I cried horribly when Augustus died. For I could feel Hazels pain. Now only. What happened to hazel. I know she died someday. Most likely pretty soon after. But what become of her? Just another infinity slightly greater than Augustus' infinity? I'll wonder forever.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1PNABPLUXCTBK?ASIN=014242417X	Best book I've read all year	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I'm perhaps a bit behind times, but I read this novel as I flew to Indianapolis of all places. I love a novel which melts time, especially time in a sardine can hurtling through the air. I admire Green's mastery of the YA genre and his ability to broach a tough subject without straying into the maudlin. Great story, great characters. A winner--a good thing that Newbery agreed.</span>"

A book about feelings, pain, suffering, beauty, love that asks for no pity or sympathy for its characters - just that you take this story for what it is and love it because it was. And I thank John Green for writing it, giving life to fictional characters who take us on this achingly painful beautiful story.</span>"

It was truly hard to put this book down, not only was it tragically sad, but the stories of the young couple and their families gave insight into what loved ones cope with when the big C comes to land.  I never did see the movie that was made based on this book, and having read it, I am satisfied enough never to desire to.</span>"

It definitely lives up to the hype! I could not put it down and fell absolutely in love with the characters!! Although it is fiction, it is very touching knowing that these situations happen to teenagers all over the world. It is eye opening along with a beautiful love story. MUST READ, 5 STARS!!!!</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RXEW4Y0E3SZQD?ASIN=014242417X	MUST READ Tfios	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was amazing. You know I was very familiar with John Green and decided to just go ahead and read it. The fact that there is a motion picture coming out gave me an extra push. This book was utterly beautiful and the ending is completely surprising. I surprised myself by actually crying, crying for myself, crying for the characters, crying just because. Read this book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RQ1B5J7H4WLO2?ASIN=014242417X	I loved it - very insightful and wise	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is so good - I loved it.  At first I wasn't sure I  would like it, because the subject matter seems like it will be depressing, but it is not.  The story is told with such a true voice, and there is quiet humor in it. It's told by a teenage girl, and her life makes her think  or comment about things most of us get to be oblivious about.  It is very wise, and lovely.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R36LUYKJ5DFQKU?ASIN=014242417X	Absolutely.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read this book front to back in one day. I could not put it down, and I fell so hardcore in love with it that I didn't know what I could possibly read after I finished. This book will make you laugh out loud and will break your heart, often in the same sentence. It's a great story, and I can't stop recommending it to every reader I know. Read this book- with tissues nearby.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2I5QFXENYHWW7?ASIN=014242417X	Amazingly Touching	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The writing was witty enough to make me actually laugh out loud and not just smile. There was a real humanity to the book. It wasn't meant to be this beautiful painted picture of cancer it was meant to show something real. The emotions that you feel and you feel the characters feel are raw and painted realistically. I applaud the book and John Green for doing such a good job.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R93RWSXVNQ7BG?ASIN=014242417X	Wonderful	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">John Green, when writing this glorious novel must have had help from angels. From page one, we meet Hazel and immediately become intoxicated with her story as a cancer patient. along comes dear Gus. The inspirational story not only from Hazel's survival but from the tremendous amount of love between these two characters forces readers to engulf the story right then and there.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3V4J6SGB3W7GW?ASIN=014242417X	fantastic	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">It's perfect and nails some things right on the head. It's categorized as teen lit, and I can see why given the characters' ages. But it is a must read for adults. Brilliantly blunt. As a cancer patient myself, it rang true. I didn't even mind the hyper-intelligent banter few real teens, and even average adults, display. It made the words sharp and witty and fly off the page.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R7UIDY9CJPEX5?ASIN=014242417X	Touched me more than I expected	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I started this book knowing it was going to be sad.  Knowing I would probably cry but for me, it was more than just the sadness that comes from the loss of an endearing character.  John Green really struck a chord in me...even used a favorite poem of mine.  I felt this book personally and it will be one not soon forgotten for me.  To say I loved it would be an understatement.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R34DW4D9Z7XFF3?ASIN=014242417X	Absolutely Phenomenal	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read this book in two days, well I don't really know if you would even count it as two days because I only read a few chapters the first day and finished it the second. Never in my life has it only taken me two days to read a book. So this says a lot about the novel. This is the second John Green novel I had read and I am not disappointed. Very extraordinary. Very touching.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RNFDL3UEBXS6C?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book left me in tears. My mom had cancer so it reminds me of her. This book deserves 5 stars.<br/>So sad at times but at other times funny like when Hazel said You are paying a company to get cancer again tell you not being able to breath sucks. Those are not the same words.And when they egged Isaac girlfriends house and Augustus said get back inside or I will call 911.</span>"

I  haven't  experienced  cancer  but  I've  had  an  above  the  knee  amputation  at  the  age  of  69.  what  Gus  goes  through  through  without  his  leg  and  his  time  in  the  wheelchair  is  spot  on.  Difficulities  are  the  same  no  matter  what  the  age.  These  kids  do  it  with  a  sense  of  dignity  that  is  so  hard  to  describe.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R32K2HBK4H2O8D?ASIN=014242417X	A lovely love story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The characters are quirky and young but their love is grown-up which makes this quick read multidimensional. I thought cancer as the antagonistic and inhuman character would make this a daunting and melodramatic novel, but that isn't the case. It's sweet, simple, and both sad and amusing at various points. Just enough of both to keep it worth reading in a couple of sittings.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2HMXJYWO3VBRL?ASIN=014242417X	Amazingly beautiful	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">For anyone who wants to read this I recommend it. You will smile and probably cry the last 7 chapters. A true love story that makes you think beyond the box. As I lay here next to my fiance who has leukemia I can't help but relate to this book in the many emotions it expresses. It makes me feel so grateful he and I have a chance at our love. You won't regret buying this one.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R33Z70PR9BIJ2J?ASIN=014242417X	I hope everyone reads this book!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Many would probably think this book to be sad, dark and depressing...but if so, they have missed the entire point!! Life is never without pain.  To pretend it isn't there is to be in denial. The point is, as this book so wonderfully acknowledges, to accept it and to remember to feel its beauty too.  There is pain, but there is also love and love is the greatest thing of all.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2VXYEN0PZIJS5?ASIN=014242417X	Perfect.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I feel like I don't even need to say anything...love the book, but I love the movie even more(which never happens.)If you've read other John Green books it will probably seem like the same story(I've noticed this pattern,) so just take it as it is, a love story with a twist.  If nothing else, read this before you see the movie! It makes the whole experience just grand &lt;3</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RSTGLQHYNDLAR?ASIN=014242417X	Not a feel good, but a real life read.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is the first book I've read from this author and according to the reviews it was a typical predictable story from him. That being said, I review books based upon the way it makes me feel. This book tore me up, as my mother passed away from cancer a few years ago. I felt it was very well written and other than the fact that the story made me sad, it was a fantastic book!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2CXJ9JIS47PKW?ASIN=014242417X	What a great book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I heard about the book at the Beauty Salon, only that it was a great book.  I downloaded it on my Kindle and read it in only 3 sittings.  I couldn't put it down, well I had to put it down to dry my eyes only to immediately pick it back up.  Then I would laugh out loud at something else.  It truly ran the gambit of emotions.  Now I have to get to the theater to see the movie.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2CCDR4F6FUF9E?ASIN=014242417X	A book about uderstanding the humanity in us all!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is very well written. It shows a wide variety of human responses and shows great knowledge and understanding of human emotion. If you are uncomfortable reading about sick children, try to read the book without focusing on the illness, but on the vast understanding of human nature. The illnesses can be taken metaphorically and not literal. This book is a great read!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1E5MFSXAGMVW9?ASIN=014242417X	A Must Read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">When I purchased this book I was told it was good and it did not disappoint.  The story is a difficult one that involves covering a very sad reality of cancer in a hopeful, sensitive, sometimes comedic way.  The characters are well developed and intelligent while taking the reader on an emotional journey of hope, friendship, love and sadness.  I could not put this book down.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1Z90RFYZKXJL9?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault In our Stars wow!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I think it was a 5 star book because I read this book in less than 48 hours ,and considering I'm a teenager that hates reading. This book changed my way of thinking about books this book was extremely good and sad. At the end it doesn't leave you hanging but it does leave you thinking. I recommend this book to ALL TEENAGERS AND ADULTS!!! It will change your life completely!!</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2DLGNM11VOHRL?ASIN=014242417X	Not just a teenager book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">My daughter raves over this book. I figured it was another teen book. But I saw on Facebook that a good friend of mine read it and raved. This should be read by any person who knows someone with cancer. I am around cancer patients everyday, I had no idea how this book related to people with cancer. Very touching, a story of first love, and loss. I'll read more of John green.</span>"

It had meaning and makes you think about life and death in so many ways. One of the best books I have ever spent money on! I fell in love with each character and how they viewed everything. I don't think you should be told what the book is about its an amazing book that is so well written and that's it definitely worth getting!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R30L6WPHL91F48?ASIN=014242417X	I was told I would cry	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I was told I would cry, instead every page I turn makes me see the beauty of the truth and honesty of the lives being shown to me. Even when my heart is breaking I am content because as wrong as it is the pain is right. And the story is right. It's simply right. It doesn't demand to be continually felt, it demands that it is felt in entirety, and it is. And now I am content.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1HFZZ8FRZH5ZH?ASIN=014242417X	simply beautiful	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">It isn't complicated because it doesn't have to be. It isn't full of twists and turns and drama because that's not what it is about. It's just about life and love- not in the sentimental mushy way, but in a way that seems real. The fact that this story has and probably will happen in one form or another makes it relatable. It's beautiful and poetic without being complicated.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2RC0K6XRTU1YS?ASIN=014242417X	Glad that I bought the hype	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I wavered for a while about whether I would read The Fault in Our Stars because I knew that it involved kids with cancer and that can go bad quick. But this story encompassed so many emotions. And I became immersed in Hazel and her life and her small circle of loved ones. For as her journey showed it's not the quantity of your circle but the quality of the love that matters.</span>"

Author, John Green didn't just write a love story. He wrote about a tragic love that is more alive and wonderful than any other I've read.<br/><br/>This is all I'll say about this book. You'll have to read it to understand. Have the tissues handy for those moments of sad and happy tears that will surely run down your face.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R361J6SKC07UJ?ASIN=014242417X	characters make the book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is a good read if not solely to get to know the characters. The view from the world that they know is unsettling, but they handle it all in a remarkable and youthful way - but what choice were they given? The end of a book can sometimes make or break, and this one left me just a little unsatisfied - I could've liked something stronger, but it wasn't a deal breaker.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2LNXHYXTL2MIW?ASIN=014242417X	Best Ever	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Best book out of all, but I am still young and there maybe books out there better. I am writing this thought to tell you about this book. You in to sad story's then yes read this book. If you have a child younger than 12 wanting to read it don't let them. This is a romance book romance book remember.<br/>  I have chosen my rating because this explains why life is why it is.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3LQKHGL1XE78D?ASIN=014242417X	Great Book.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Ohmygosh!! I absolutely LOVE this book. Took me about 2 days (maybe 12hrs all together) to read this book because I could not put it down. I just love it. It's amazing, i cried and laughed a lot in this book. It really teaches you not to take granted of life, it is too precious. I bought it for kindle for like 3 bucks and I highly suggest you read it, you will not regret it!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RC0KNH75L7MSV?ASIN=014242417X	A master of characters	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The story is told from the point of Hazel, a teenage girl with cancer.  She encounters the boy that will change her life at a support group.  As the cast of characters fills in, the reader will swiftly move from one outstanding character to the next, reveling in the exquisitely detailed stories of each.  It will be the characters that leave you wishing the book wouldn't end.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R5K3A6SOA3G80?ASIN=014242417X	Just Beautiful	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Of course like many others who choose to read this book, I picked it for a love story. This love story is much more real and different than others I have read. So many of us never know how it feels to have a limit love, but Hazel and Augustus make their love infinite.  Great read, but just like Hazel, I wanted to know what happened after. Guess the world will never know. . .</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1V5YRPUCAGVYN?ASIN=014242417X	"Solid ""cancer"" book"	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">It was a very good book. Cancer teens in love. There's quite a lot of description of daily cancer routine, how patients and their families live with it every day. It's a sad book but that's to be expected.<br/><br/>It would be a great book to read for teens (the main characters are 16 and 17 years old) but I really enjoyed it as an adult (who doesn't usually read YA books)</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R21S7VVH3K1VUH?ASIN=014242417X	Just....Perfect.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I've read and reread the faut in our stars many times and after each reading it just keeps on becoming closer to my heart.What is'nt there that is lovely and poignant about this book?<br/><br/>Every time i finish the book,i'll have giant tears streaming down my face,making my vision blurry and needing a mountain of tissues by my side.<br/><br/>I love it,love it,love it.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3URYRDAW1CTVM?ASIN=014242417X	A amazing recommendation	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I gave this book a five because not only was it told perfectly but if you could place yourself in their shoes you would know the struggles one deals with in life I liked every part of this book and I can't find one dislike other than almost being moved to tears at the end and I recommend this book to everyone like it was to me by someone very dear to me I must say thank you</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R276UUWAEGFEAR?ASIN=014242417X	Tells what cancer is like!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Really enjoyed the book.  Being a cance survivor three times helped me to I nderstand a lot of feelings.  There are some things that you don't understand until you experience it.  Being tired is certainly one.  Really enjoyed the black humor.  Also appreciated how the families were involved. Too often only the sick one is focused on when everyone is dealing with the cancer.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3K7YKPII7YFJA?ASIN=014242417X	Crying is good.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Having dealt with the loss of a parent to cancer at 23, i knew this book would be hard for me. It was. It was extremely extremely hard. I cried for days, because it was so on the spot, the flood gates stayed open. Don't let that deter you. It's beautiful, funny and touching. I think the ability of an author being able to make the reader cry is a sign of truly great writing.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2WDMFAJAOHHRB?ASIN=014242417X	Very Sad Story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is a story of illness and love.  It tells what goes on in the minds of young adults when they have to live with terminal illness.  I felt very sad as I read this book.  It was wonderful to see how much strength one can gain through true friendship and love.<br/>I would recommend John Green's book to all teenagers, teachers &amp; parents.  Get you tissue box close at hand!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2KRUPIC6EVEE2?ASIN=014242417X	Beautiful, just beautiful!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read this book in a matter of two days. I was dragged in from the beginning and never once wanted to put it down. John Green was able to make you laugh, cry, and become angry all in one book. Everything about this story was so real. In life things happen when you least expect it and ""The Fault in Our Stars"" follows that message. What an amazing read. Thank you John Green.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R23PTG5ZMX7W2X?ASIN=014242417X	Five stars for fault in our stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was one of the best books I have read in a long time. It was sad, touching, and romantic. For parents who need to know more about the book, it had a couple inappropriate parts, and some language, but everything else was great. See, I'm 12 and I read the book, but don't let anyone younger read it. Over all, it is a real page turner, and definitely a five star book.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2XGGCIYZYJD78?ASIN=014242417X	Interesting	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This was an interesting love store, where the main characters shared clarity and insight with the readers about life,  love, death, growing up, and dying. The fact the story involves two teens with cancer in secondary. It really is a love story with the main characters who simply have cancer, versus a book about teens with cancer. I would have no hesitation recommending it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3TC4ZCR8G9LPH?ASIN=014242417X	BEAUTIFUL	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Cancer is not a beautiful thing,,,,,, but the relationship between Hazel Grace and Augustus is. I love  this book I loved all the snarky comments between the two characters. I love  seeing  their world from their eye's. I cried ALOT and was actually late for work one morning because  I couldn't put it down. Thank goodness my boss was reading the book too she understood why.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1562W88UZ3AFI?ASIN=014242417X	Very we'll-written, beautiful story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is a thoughtful, intelligent book with lovable characters who are brilliant, intelligent, irreverent, funny and flawed human beings. Oh yes, and the lead characters are teenagers with devastating cancer. This book will make you cry but do not be deterred because, like most good things in life, it is worth the risk. This book is extremely well-written and a joy to read.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3QLJO5D0J9CVL?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I fell in love with the book when I started. Hazel Grace is an amazing girl that falls in love and her love Augustus (Gus) Waters is an amazing guy that will do anything for her. I recommend this book to everyone. Read this and you will cry and fall in love with the characters and you meet. Go with Hazel and her story of falling in love and fighting cancer at the same time.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1S4A27KJED6Q3?ASIN=014242417X	Incredibly accurate	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">As a teacher, I often read the same books as my students.  I noticed several of them reading this book with an intensity I don't often see in most adolescents.  Curious, I picked up a copy and found that I too couldn't put it down.  Ironically, I live Indianapolis and have not one, but two Make a Wish students.  Thank you John Green for teaching this teacher a thing or two!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R12V35ZA4PX4?ASIN=014242417X	on the fence	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I liked the concept of terminally ill children sticking together and fighting through their illness, but I must say I put this book down several times because it was too much emotionally. I am a person that cries at every sad movie, and even ASPCA commercials, so I think if you are able to handle those, then you'd love this book. Well written, from a teenager's perspective.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3B6RC055OXU8G?ASIN=014242417X	All right and sweet.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I went into reading this book because I wanted to read it before I saw the movie...and while I liked the story... I dunno. I just didn't like the writing style. I skimmed a lot due to all the paragraphs and what seemed to be pointless information to me. But I can see why this book is adored. And I have to say, they did a great job bringing the book to life in the movie. :)</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R11SKUUZRY4L2L?ASIN=014242417X	The fault in our stars by John Green	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I chose this rating because I felt it was unfinished, like Van's book.  Glad she got his notes, but sad because it didn't feel like enough.<br/>There was a lot of hoopla about the movie so I thought the book also be good. Had its moments, but sadly predictable. Would have liked more with Isaac, and the young couple.<br/>Disappointed, but would recommend to young readers.</span>"

Then it got better and better and even though I knew the ending and didn't cry when they ""saddest"" part was th  last chapters were so amazing it made the entire book better. So glad I read it and read th  last chapter even after I had seen the movie(by the way the movie is amazing)</span>"

After a little less than 24 hours of reading time and many, many tissues, I can safely say that this is one of my favorite books. It is such an amazing love story that shows the reader the good, bad, beautiful, and ugly aspects of life. I am so glad I decided to purchase this for my Kindle. I will definitely read it more than once.</span>"

Once I started, though, I quickly was invested in all the characters.  Razor sharp, witty, brilliant and ill are the the main characters and I enjoyed the smart banter between the two of them.  It is a fast moving story that teaches you to count your blessings and live every day to its fullest......okay!!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2WBY66UH588A6?ASIN=014242417X	AMAZING!!!!!!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is unlike any other! It has humor, love, adventure, mystery, everything someone could want in a book! I've read many stories about some plain girl finding her love, but it never sounded like true love. The love that Hazel Grace and Gus had was heart touching. It was a beautiful love story of two teens fighting cancer! A MUST READ BEFORE THE MOVIE COMES OUT!!!!!!!</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R12PJDRWA7V2LW?ASIN=014242417X	I Cried.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I literally cried reading this book. It's just so real. Life and death are beautifully captured in this novel. I felt as though I was really getting a story from Hazel Grace Lancaster, not a male author. However, this book is definitely geared towards more adult readers. casual swearing and adult topics are very constant throughout the book. I applaud this fantastic novel.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R6WUHVQMR66IV?ASIN=014242417X	Very accurate	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I spend a lot of time with kids dealing with cancer. it's often hard to imagine what they ate going through, but this book puts it into words beautifully. I could never fully understand but this book put a lot into perspective and it was hard not to feel an overwhelming closeness to these characters. I only hope that others who know those living with cancer will read this.</span>"

All I have to say is John Green, I hate you so goddamn much for making such an incredible book. I hate you for making me feel the sorrow Hazel feels. I hate that this book is now on my favorites list and will always be.</span>"

Although this is not a real story I fell in love with this book.  I have watched the movie about 13 times and to this day I still cry.

However, it was very interesting, I had a hard time putting it down.  It broke my heart, but not in the way I expected and it kept me guessing until the end.  This is the only book I've given 5 stars to in a LONG time.  I loved it!!!</span>"

It kept pace with the characters lives, but I loved how you could see and feel everything the characters were seeing. The story has beautiful details and I love how different the story line was. I'm too scared to see the movie, I don't want to ruin the book! I can't wait to discuss this with my high school classroom!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R5RVV6WNQ61Z4?ASIN=014242417X	Not all that it is hyped up to be	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book wasn't horrible, but it also wasn't all that it was hyped up to be either. Stories like this have been told before and probably in a better way (think ""Love Story""). I decided to purchase it because of all of the hype the movie was getting so I decided to read the book first. I was just left disappointed. I don't really have any other way to describe it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1HUBMR8B0VNAF?ASIN=014242417X	Best book ever!!!!!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is an amazing book.  I don't want to give any spoilers so I will just say how awesome this book is.  It is a pretty mature book and has some cursing but it is funny and heart warming.  A comedy and a tragedy.  A very sad and amazing book about family and true love.  If my review is bad, take it out on me not the sacred book (just something me and my friends call it).</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1XMSIHFKBVWEU?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was the most beautiful and sad book I have ever read though just like An Imperial Affliction it does not tell you what happens to the other characters like Hazel does she live until old age, does she die a couple years later or will there be a sequel that describes what happens? I LOVED this book and I hope to read many more like it which is probably impossible.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R19WAD9GPRIE10?ASIN=014242417X	A different type of love story.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I recommend this book to adults, not just teenagers because it has a great amount of sofistication to it. Hazels' and Gus's story isn't just some silly fairytale. it is a true, remarkable real life love story of two people making the worst part of their lives the BEST together. there is such a plot twist but it just makes the book better. this is a must read for everyone!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RUPTMCU6U3SWV?ASIN=014242417X	faults in this book (there are none)	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The fault in our stars was one of the best books I have ever read. It was a romantic heartbreaking book about love disappointment life lessons and a brave girl trying to help her love in this world. Augustus was the most amazing person. He was always smiling! You can't go wrong with this book no matter how you look at it. I give it 5 stars with just a few faults in my own</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1DX0M75XIA9ZY?ASIN=014242417X	Great book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I was hesitant to read the book because of the young ages of the main characters, but I'm glad I gave it a try.  I loved the metaphors and philosophy of the brilliant characters and the intellect of the author.  I appreciated the wit and dry humor of the quick and somewhat emotional story.  I will recommend this book to everyone I know who enjoys the pleasures of reading.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RTEFMO5KP7E4B?ASIN=014242417X	Surprising & Deep	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I went into this book with zero expectations and little prior knowledge to its popularity. In the first chapter I had been disappointed because I thought I had wrongly chosen to read a teen novel. But as this book continues it touches on so much depth, emotion, truth and wisdom that I found myself hooked and enthralled. This was a beautiful and sad story and a great read.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RFLXJ6QPRCN09?ASIN=014242417X	Lovely read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This one truly touches your heart.  The difference between this book and others dealing with this subject is the honesty expressed by all characters.  The author captures all points of view in a relatable manner and helps you find acceptance in that sometimes there is no reason but things just are yet in the darkest places of you mind and even fears love can give meaning.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1ILLVT76UGZVW?ASIN=014242417X	Makes you value what you have	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Loved this book. I was a bit hesitant at first because I knew it dealt with such a horrible disease; cancer. But I gave it a try and I'm glad I did. Someone very close to me was diagnosed with cancer, and this book made me realize how wonderful life is and how much we take it for granted. I shed a few tears, of joy and sadness. Great author, great book, beautiful message.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R291G9XEUB65U9?ASIN=014242417X	Everyone Should Read This	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book tugged at my heart and my brain...Though I am far from being a teen, I wish I had been a teen reading this book, and I understand why there is such a following. John Green is a god of empathy; I felt like I was living and breathing this beautiful story, and the range of emotions I felt was startling. Only conflict now is whether I want to see the movie or not...</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">If I can give this book ten stars I would!!! One of the best books I have currently read and his other written work is a must read as well!! John Green has impressed me immensely and I will be looking for more of his work in the future!! If you want something to read sit down and read The Fault In Our Stars, you won't be able to put it down and you won't be disappointed.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">It is a beautiful love story with a lot of factual information about how cancer changes your life. The characters were so richly described, I had a clear picture of all of them. It was sad but so encouraging. There are many lessons to be learned from the book.<br/>My granddaughter read it first and told me about it. She was right. It was awesome.<br/>Thanks<br/>Jean H</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2W0PRA46B5RCZ?ASIN=014242417X	Real!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Cancer is a very real and prevalent part of our lives. Sometimes it is that ""thing"" we hear about from our friends and other times it is our friends and still other times, we are the friend. I love how this book lets you experience this from each of these perspectives while filling you with a love story that clearly death does not put asunder. Beautiful. Read it!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RTBO6I29BVH0D?ASIN=014242417X	A sad topic that had me laughing out loud!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Thus was a book requested by one if my daughters and I ended up starting it, getting hooked instantaneously and finishing it by day 3. This book is touching, intimate with the life of a teenager and even more do to that if a teenager with a terminal illness. It is witty and clever and will most definitely aid in expanding my vocabulary and perspective on life. Thank you.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1CA0Q9G1KQDEJ?ASIN=014242417X	best book ever!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">ok im a guy and i started reading this book,thinking it was a girls book.  i was wrong. this is by far the best book i have ever read. i was amazed that someone could create such a great book at all. i could relate because of the situations that hazel and Augustus went through sort of lik mine(although i do not have cancer).  if you are reading this,stop.  READ THE BOOK!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R6MN9CF58D0TS?ASIN=014242417X	One word: amazing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">this book is phenomenal. you fall in love with hazel and Gus and it's so superbly written that their pain is your pain and their happiness is your happiness. it's so heartwarming. not many books make me want to read them again, especially after just finishing it, but this one did. I only hope the movie can half way do it justice so that I can visually experience the book</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1P02SRWXHWKXX?ASIN=014242417X	just don't expect a happy ending	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">If one chooses to read a book about youths with cancer, I suppose it's not too earth shattering (hardly qualifies as a spoiler alert) to find someone dies in the end.  Despite the obvious handicap, I can say I found it humorous, not to mention very witty.  And despite the topic, I'm glad I read it and bet you will too.<br/>WAY better than the earlier Looking for Alaska.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2SUU0LG6MLSNN?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing!!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">It's been a long time since I read a book this engaging. I honestly could not put it down. It makes you really think about living but dying also. Why do we need to leave a mark on the world before we die? This book gave me so many things to ponder on nights when work forces me to stay awake. Let's hope the movie does this wonderful work of literature it's proper justice.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RF3L4EF7K9ITY?ASIN=014242417X	Heartbreaking.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">If you're looking for a happy romantic fun filled book, don't read this one. It is so heartbreaking and beautiful. I definitely got quite teary many many times, but I like books like that. I actually like that the author never throws any ""oh the pieces all fell into place and the world is so wonderful""  crap. It's just really harsh and honest, and also a very good story!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RP982GUMGTYF?ASIN=014242417X	Amazingly beautiful	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I LOVED THIS BOOK. It made me feel emotionally connected to Augustus and Hazel. I cried several times in this book, some were of happiness but most were from the death of Augustus and the pain it left hazel. I wish that there was a sequel to this book, although it is kinda hard to pick up after a main character dies. I am utterly excited for the movie that is being made.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R23V8UOZ5N2XNY?ASIN=014242417X	Strong book.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read this book without seeing the movie. In fact, I still haven't seen the movie. It gave a great glimpse inside of the world of cancer, something I'm not typically exposed to. In doing this, it really got me thinking about that population and what it would be like to have a friend, lover, family member, or myself be diagnosed with either a curable or incurable caner.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1E8EGXBZAHPPH?ASIN=014242417X	I recommend it to anyone who has been touched by cancer	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I'm not a ""tween"", so I wasn't sure this would interest me, but I am a cancer survivor..I couldn't put it down. I thought I would cry a lot, but it wasn't sloppy sentimental. My heart did break for everyone in the book who has suffering in their own way.I recommend it to anyone who has been touched by cancer. And I think at one point in our lives we all will be,</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2GNLXL72H8RO9?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in Our Stars - not just for teenagers	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I liked this book a lot, probably more than I expected to.  As most people probably already know from the movie promos, it's about a couple of teenagers with cancer. The dialogue is very nicely written - really sounds like a couple of witty kids. So I found myself smiling quite a bit. The sad bits were expected, and really did make me feel sad too.  I am glad I read it!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2B9AISQ278DZV?ASIN=014242417X	Great story, sad, touching, gets to you!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Great book for young adults. Touching and sad. I really don't want to see the movie, because I'm afraid of all the images I had in my head from reading the book will be ""too real"" for me to not start bawling my eyes out!!!  However, I did get teary eyed when I read the book because John Green has such talent for making his characters very real. Highly recommend.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3UOASQMYZ7SOS?ASIN=014242417X	Loved it	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I don't usually like to read a book after I've seen the movie. I'd rather read the book, with all of its glorious detail first, but, alas, I saw the movie first this time. I found myself engrossed in this book and shed many tears. I loved the tone and ""tude"" Greene was able to bring to this book. Lots of great sentiment about living and dying. Just a sweet book.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RVMA7A0HDSK4Q?ASIN=014242417X	FABULOUS!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This story was amazing!  John Green is an outstanding author.  The action began with chapter 1 and continued until the very last word.  As a previous English/Language Arts teacher, this encompassed all literary devices that make reading exciting.  While reading, I felt like I was there; visualizing the scene.  I totally lost myself in this book.  Amazing job Mr. Green!!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2SDAKK5HNLTF1?ASIN=014242417X	Not just for teenagers or people with cancer	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This was a very well written book from the perspective of a sick teenager that has the amazing ability to not feel bad for her as a cancer patient , but instead we empathize with her going though all the teenagery things , while at the same time battling with cancer.  You will relate to both the kids and the parents (if you are one ) through different parts of the book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1TEIJAT5F1076?ASIN=014242417X	Best Book Ever (AMAZING)	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I loved the whole book! It was so beautiful! I think this is a book for all ages! I read this book in one day and it is deffinitly a page turner. Anyone would enjoy this tear jerking story. While you are reading, you will laugh, cry, and smile. This is deffinitly one of my favorite books. It is a cancer story and a romance mixed into one. It was really enjoying to read.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1GR6WNFHU5CZX?ASIN=014242417X	Wonderful Love Story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Beautifully written. There are so many beautiful words in this book, I cried often and deeply. I didn't want to cry but I never had a choice. The young people in this story are wise beyond their years. My family has been touched by cancer too much. Even once is too much. So this story brought those we have lost back to me and for awhile I felt their presence very close.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R209IWBGIRSVEW?ASIN=014242417X	perfect in every way	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I'm in my late 20's reading this for the first time. I cannot express the enlightenment, humor and emotion this book emits on each page. It may sound cheesy but I feel like a better and more hopeful person having read this. Even though this is fiction, it has valuable life lessons and an incredible view of life and humanity. I feel like this is a must read for everyone.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1A309HZNTZWRL?ASIN=014242417X	Best book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book did more than trap me in it's magic. It also made me believe that the characters in the book were alive. It's romance has mad me laugh, cry, and most importantly - awkward. It has showed me that things can happen in a single instant. It also showed me the true meaning of love. But most of all, the true meaning of fear. But, without fear how could we know love?</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R281V3PUCW7CK5?ASIN=014242417X	Thank You.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Thank you John Greene. Thank you for teaching me the most important lesson ever. That life is precious and ee must always be grateful and savor the moment. I find that the fault in our stars is really just that people are too naive to understand amazing lessons that Augustus and Hazel have taught me. I will make an impact not his world. Thank you. I promise. I do. I do.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R23DYTUP1VHHFW?ASIN=014242417X	Great book!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was an easy read for me. It's one of those books where you get attached to the characters...they were so easy to like. I suggest having some tissues ready because it is a bit of a tear jerker, but you're pretty much prepared for that from the beginning. It definitely puts into perspective the simple day to day things in life that you probably take for granted.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3PFR0K7PZ7CGP?ASIN=014242417X	Five Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I really enjoyed this box. I could not put it down! It was deep and thoughtful, and very true in a sad way. Green wrote it perfectly, giving Hazel a voice that speaks for so many people. I would recommend this book to teens and adults, and I hope that 'The Fault in our Stars' speaks to you as much as it spoke to me. I will exit as Hazel would, and gracefully say 'Okay'.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RQ6OC9EV7KC6P?ASIN=014242417X	Couldn't have been better!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I think John Green did an amazing job writing this book. It was hilarious yet it showed a true love connection between Hazel and Augustus. The end was very sad and tragic and truthfully was one of three books that made me cry. But the grief is there to teach a lesson and I think John green made his point very clear. I loved this book and I think everyone should read it!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2NXP8YKGFKY1Q?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book will make you realize what is important in life. You have to really think about what the text is saying but once you do, it makes sense. This book is amazing and I will read multiple times. You can't just take this book lightly to understand it, it requires thinking and rereading but in the end it's very rewarding. This is one of the best books I've ever read.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Basically, a good idea at the heart of the plot that would have made a good book,too, should the author have posessed any decent writing skills.Unfortunately, the characters remain shallow, the style of writing is rushed and lazy, thus robbing an otherwise yielding topic ( that of  children with cancer and their experiences) of depth, emotional impact and authenticity.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2ZLGA01VNMIIQ?ASIN=014242417X	I don't think I've ever read a book like this...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">So, obviously it sounds trite to say that this book changed how I look at the world, but I honestly don't know what else to say. You know that it will end in sadness from page one. You know what will become of the characters...yet I still saw beauty in the journey and especially in Agustus' final words to Van Houten and eventually to Hazel. I can't recommend it enough.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R22M64GCR9JOSZ?ASIN=014242417X	a must read at any age	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">A beautiful story of life,living,and cancer living. We will all experience some form of cancer living in our lives. Its the depth we choose to allow and feel it . This book exposes the fear, the beauty, and the raw ugliness of this reality. And thank you John Green for making the God piece what it is.A silly sentiment on a sign above the toilet. Thank you for flushing!</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was heart wrenching but very well written.  The characters came alive and could be about people we know or have know.<br/>I was especially empathetic with the parents, I truly feel their suffering on behalf of their children was as accute as the main characters.  Hopefully anyone reading this novel will come away with increased empathy for all living things.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1RK0U2IQ2RLLL?ASIN=014242417X	Living Real	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Green not only tells a story, he makes you feel the emotions of his characters. It's a wonderful read for teenagers whether or not they are suffering from cancer or not. I believe that it will give them a perspective of life beyond their present experiences. This is the first book that I have read by Green, but as of the reading of this book, I'm a fan... We'll done...</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RS2XIST2GORQ5?ASIN=014242417X	So amazing, I finished in one day!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Such a great story! This was the first book in years that I could not put down. I would have read it all in one sitting if I didn't have to go to work. After returning home, I did finish and was glad I did! It was well worth it. I laughed, I cried, I felt like I knew these characters. If only more people could be like Augustus Waters, the world would be a better place.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2FZRIJ6BX5IQH?ASIN=014242417X	Worth reading	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I very much enjoyed this book.  The dialog was amazing and relatable, although not entirely believable with teenagers.  That was really my only issue with this book, it makes you think that kids with cancer are suddenly deep and incredibly intelligent.  But I guess I wouldn't really know, I'm not a kid with cancer.  Still, a great book and I feel better for reading it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RPHP4GK33MT4E?ASIN=014242417X	Beautiful.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I have never actually cried because of a book. This book was beautiful and elegant. It did not try to make life look perfect, as many books do, but it reached down deep and pulled out the  compassion and humanity that life is. It made me cry. This is easily one of the best books I have ever read. You will never regret experiencing the beauty and heartache of this book.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2OGZZ51DF6V6J?ASIN=014242417X	Pretty good book.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is a good book. Not an excellent book. I feel like a lot of people just like it because John Green wrote it. But if you're in the John Green haze and loving it, then don't let me take you out of it; that's just what it felt like to me. I still recommend it, but I would just put it on hold at the library or ask a friend to borrow it. Not actually go out and buy it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RRHCCSHM7X7AW?ASIN=014242417X	Stop and smell the roses,	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Great story that tells the tale of teenagers falling in love and going through the trials and tribulations of cancer.  My only complaint is that some of the words used in this book are, for lack of a better word, confusing.  As an adult, I had to find definitions to understand what they were talking about.  I can't imagine teenagers/young adults know/knew the meanings.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R17PAAT7G4G4R9?ASIN=014242417X	A truly inspiring story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I gave a five star because Mr. Green made the book come to life. The book goes through many stages and struggles involving cancers. I think it very well explained how children think and feel when you or someone has a terrible sickness like cancer. Having family that has had and died from cancer I think it is very reliable and an extraordinary piece of work. Thank you!</span>"

I liked this book because my father has cancer and this is a book that says "" don't feel bad for yourself just love your life while you can."". I tested this book 5 stars because of the reasons above</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2GUC6UAGAXYZU?ASIN=014242417X	Great read. Great story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Great read. Great story. I got this book because I wanted to read the book before I see the movie and like always I loved the book so much more than the movie (still liked the movie though!!!).<br/>Although it seems to be a book for teens I did enjoy reading this so I can recommend this book to adults as well.<br/>I want to check out some more of John Green's books.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R141U8E93QD1HQ?ASIN=014242417X	Challenging in content and in diction.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Great book - great story. I don't think it is for the 6/7th grade reading set, although it is on the reading lists.<br/>Read it with a kindle or ipad - or a dictionary nearby.  The vocabulary is far more advanced than a 7th graders . . .and I found myself (who has not been in 7th grade since the 80's) looking up many many words.<br/><br/>A true piece of literature.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1SZJ4H2ZKPT67?ASIN=014242417X	Good premise, but over-hyped	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book had a great premise and much potential.  Unfortunately, I was dragged in by all the buzz and ultimately disappointed.  Did not have much of a connection with characters and after my own dealings with cancer was unaffected by this book.  Also, was not pulled in by the love story.  I believe this idea could have been a great book, but needed more/deeper story.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3DVSNTAZVQ3GQ?ASIN=014242417X	Really enjoyed!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I really enjoyed this book and its characters. It's an easy quick read, mostly cause you won't put it down. You get lost in the characters. I guess it's going to be made into a movie. I envision something like ""Juno"" and I didn't care for that movie, so I'm glad I was able to read the book first. The humor in this book made me laugh out loud and its sadness got to me.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3LSW3474HY83H?ASIN=014242417X	A masterpiece	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I loved every drop of ink on these pages. Even though it is sad, it tells a beautiful and glorious story about two teens with cancer who fall in love and face the obstacles of their illnesses and deal with heartache and grief. Hazel and Augustus's story will forever be imprinted into your memory and inspire you. I don't regret reading a single word within these pages.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RHMHDIP1XEQ8B?ASIN=014242417X	Perfectly balanced	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This truly is one of those where you say, ""I laughed . . . I cried . . . ""  It was just the right amount of levity to make such a serious story not just bearable but truly enjoyable.  The characters are complex, honest, real.  Just when you ""know"" you've got it all figured out, you don't -- not really.  Fabulous book!  One of my new all-time favorites.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R15BBGWYWGJZ6D?ASIN=014242417X	Surprised how much I liked this book!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This was a book club selection and I was not enthusiastic about reading it.  I have to say I was very surprised how much I enjoyed it!  It was one of those books that stays with you.  Someone in my life will say or do something and it will remind me of something in this book.  I recommend this book to both young adults and adults.  Tough subject but great perspective.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R32QOBBCV1AJWH?ASIN=014242417X	Book well done	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Loved this book. I've been enjoying the movie and was curious about the book behind it. Having worked in pediatric oncology, which included teens, I found the entire storyline believable, something most stories of this genre fail to achieve. And, I also found that the emotional journey of the characters was really accurate. All that and it had a great storyline, too.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3F7EX1LUAQP51?ASIN=014242417X	Engaging and intense	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Characters who speak to you and  beyond you is refreshing. Teenagers wise beyond their years makes for a delicious read. Loved the humor and perspective by Hazel and Augustus. Hazel's parents were a bit one denominational. Would like to see a bit more exploration of their thoughts.  Overall a fantastic read that left me feeling happy for the health I have been given.</span>"

Literally and metaphorically applauding this book it out loud. This is being done with clenched fists and shaking vivid tears of emotion. I would recommend this book to those who don't have depression, love, or cancer. I, unfortunately, have the first two. This is a brilliant hymn of the brutality of fatality and the brittle tendencies of love. Beautiful</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2PTRLMQTYB3H7?ASIN=014242417X	The best, most amazing book EVER!!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">AMAZING! So sad but so amazing how any author could write such a story. I couldn't believe what I had read when I finished the book me a few minutes to get a hold of myself. I want to read it again but I don't know if I could take it. I watched the movie just to make my feeling for the book more about sorrow for what happens. This is a book that EVERYONE should read.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R138HMUUGQZ5YQ?ASIN=014242417X	Tear-jerker!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">WARNING: this book will make you cry. I'm not going to sugar coat it. I was balling my eyes out by chapter 21. This book is a epic and modern twist on a never-ending love. I have highlighted witty lines after witty lines. John Green wrote an amazingly moving story that I bet no one will forget. It's my go to book to read!! I have re-read at least 10 times already. :)</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2COC51D8DC9MF?ASIN=014242417X	Predictable yet poignant	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The story is a girl meets boy. The difference is they are not your everyday teens. Yet in many ways they are like everyone on the planet struggling with the unfairness of time and life. It has been awhile since a book compelled me to read into the night instead of sleep (I am a mom, sleep is essential) this one kept me up so I could finish and cry. I would recommend.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R26XY0HQ8YO9YZ?ASIN=014242417X	Heartbreaking yet I loved it!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I love how Hazel found humor in the hardest circumstances. Their love was truly forever and I love the authors way of making you feel Hazels pain but didn't let you pity her. I recommend this to anyone who likes a romance that was made to last forever but fate got in the way. My money, tears, and laughs were spent well on this book. It was worth every penny and more.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RYXUVOEY73N4S?ASIN=014242417X	Wow	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">my friends were right this is the best book I ever read. I cried, laughed and got a ton of emotions from this book. I took me less than 24 hours to read this because I couldn't put it down. I strongly recommend this book, I only gave this book five stars because that's as high of a rating I could give it. In all honesty I would give this book a 100000+ for my rating.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R271DQ9JPJ1MHG?ASIN=014242417X	Change of heart	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">ok, let me start off with the fact that I had a burning hatred for this book when I bought it, the only reason I ever considered reading this book was because I need an a in English. but around the 10% mark I admitted that I was a little invested in the characters, but let me just say that by the end of this book, I was wondering why it had to end in the first place.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R37TDA1BC0XT1P?ASIN=014242417X	I have already read it twice!!!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">No doubt that this is the best love story I have read to date.  I love the language and the way the characters communicate.  I have read it two weekends in a row!  I would recommend this book to anyone, absolutely anyone!  I am waiting for my friend to finish the book so we can go see the movie.  I have heard it is just as wonderful and follows the book very closely.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3ABUOLVFOH4N6?ASIN=014242417X	I loved this book so much I hate it	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I refused to read this book for the longest time, because I knew exactly what was going to happen to me of I did. And what I thought would happen did. I cried like a baby.<br/>John Green is a talented writer, the way he can make you laugh and then the next minute rip your heart out of your chest and stomp on it.<br/>So with that said I am going to go read it again.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RC8MGT6XQ1A53?ASIN=014242417X	MY FAVORITE BOOK	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">It is a book that will make u laugh , smile , get angry , and will definitely make u cry or tear up if not u are a heartless person. If u say this book deserves below a 4 star rating u must have misunderstood this beautify written book. John Green has written my favorite book and this statement goes for many others. IF YOU HAVEN'T READ THIS BOOK _______READ IT!!!!!!!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RSOELDR6NRY71?ASIN=014242417X	Great Love Story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I thought this was a great story about those who society would rather not acknowledge. It was refreshingly real &amp; brought out the humanity of illness, death, and dying. The story captures young teenage love, simultaneously heroinizes those who have been cursed with disease and have to come face to face with their own mortality at quarter very young age. Awesome book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1PVCZPVE9YX5A?ASIN=014242417X	I cried...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">When a book can move you to the point of absolute sobbing, you know it is one of the best books you will read. The author allows for you to be so emotionally invested in the characters he brought to life, that by the time the story ends you find it hard to let it all go. I feel as though I have formed a bond with this book much like hazel does with her favorite book.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R19CH2SD5GMELV?ASIN=014242417X	Best Book Ever	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is highly moving and emotional. I have never read any of John Green's other works but it is hard to imagine then being any better than this one. This book is truly a work of art and will be remembered for centuries to come. I have never cried so much at the end of a book. I don't want to reveal the ending because I want you to be just as surprised as I was.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R28Q71HYAOH745?ASIN=014242417X	A Beautiful Love Story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I thought this book told.a beautiful love story,but I also loved getting a glimpse inside the mind of a girl and her journey in living with a terminal illness and her struggle to let others love her. While I don't necessarily agree with Hazel's  (the author's?) views on God and death, I did really enjoy this book.  Be sure to keep the tissues close by when reading...</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1MEV5V2MSKBAF?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is one of the best books I've ever read. The best one actually. It tells you the truth about those kids with Cancer. You think they are scared, sad even. But in reality they know some thing is going to happen so they just preparing for it, like Augustus/Gus did. I would really like to thank John Green for reading. I can't wait for the film to come out this year.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RTDJ7Z8ZHTVZO?ASIN=014242417X	John did a great job	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I don't know how john green did it, but he was able to have me love what Augustus and hazel had, and also had me feel what hazel felt throughout the book, like love and sadness. This is an amazing book, and though many comments say that they are too young to have such a broad vocabulary and to say complex things, I believe that's what made this book more interesting.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R35ZPBUXHMZQ56?ASIN=014242417X	Unique story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I genuinely liked this book as it didn't have the rosy glow typical of novels about cancer patients.  The author must have done his research because the medical portions of this book are extremely accurate.  The dialogue is a little ""Juno""-esque when the teenagers speak like shakespearean scholars.  The book clips at a pretty good pace and is not all too predictable.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3HXT6YV90JPI0?ASIN=014242417X	A trip through reality of cancer	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is a great book, sad but it gives you a look into what it's like to have a non curable illness. It makes you think of how blessed you are to not be sick and makes you realize that so many people live this everyday. It gives you a different outlook on the way you look at life.<br/>I would recommend reading this I decided to read this before I watched the movie.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1GKLDF1GFGVNM?ASIN=014242417X	Intense and beautiful	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The two main characters in the book are wounded but incredibly beautiful souls. Afraid to hurt those around them with their inevitable death. Their Cancer is made of them and they are made of their Cancer. But ultimately they reach out beyond themselves to the other and come to terms with love, death, and the incredible gift of a fleeting but infinite time together.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2SYF9CUEP4537?ASIN=014242417X	Get your tissues ready	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">What a beautiful story transpires between two teens diagnosed with cancer. The feeling and thoughts were right on regarding how parents, teens and adults think about life with and without life and death. I don't know if  the movie will stick closely to the book, but I can't imagine watching it. Words on a page say so much more than pictures. It was a very good read.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2K1JYTJZ5DZFY?ASIN=014242417X	Great Read! Absolutely Loved This	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This was a story very well written! Once I started reading, I couldn't put it down. I could relate to the characters and got so emotionally attached, especially to Hazel and Augustus. I would highly recommend to anyone in search of an incredible story, emotional journey, and characters that will capture your heart! Keep tissues near by, you will certainly need them!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1K0D03104AYY?ASIN=014242417X	Their end. How sweet it is.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I saw there was a movie and the pre-views were good.  I decided the book would be much better than the movie for there is always more story in the book.  I do think though that I will see this movie because of the young actors.  I feel they will make the story come to real life.  Not as sad as I thought it was going to be.  Enjoyed it very much.  Read it to quickly.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1YV74NYLL4LGX?ASIN=014242417X	An emotional ride	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I recently witnessed the cancer battle and death of an 18 year old girl, and she loved this book. I decided to pick it up because I had liked John Green's other books. It was easily one of the best books I had ever read. It was also a perk that it took place in my hometown. It's one of those books that takes you on an emotional ride. Please be prepared with Kleenex.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2EMHRDO5NQ86F?ASIN=014242417X	I CRIED NON STOP FOR DAYS	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was amazing, but be prepared to cry your eyes out! You get so attached to the characters and feel almost like you're living their lives. It's very emotionally draining, but a truly beautiful love story and realistically depicts the tragedies of a real life as a terminally ill teen in love with another. I have definitely added this to my top favorite books!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3RJNOGLA3WGJJ?ASIN=014242417X	Best book I've ever read...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I loved this book even as sad &amp; heartbreaking as it was.  You really connected and fell in love with Hazel and Gus.  I've never had a book make me cry (almost sob!) as this book did.  It was very well written and very realistic and believable which is why it struck so much emotion.  I would definitely recommend this book...just make sure you have some tissues handy!</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1D2ZXH6YLVKUU?ASIN=014242417X	Tragically beautiful	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This depressing novel is so beautiful it hurts. It's the truth about life. It's not a fairy tale, it's a true love story, an epic one. And even though it's not a happily ever after, it's real, which is my favorite part. It's sad that so many people walk through this life taking every step for granted. Hazel and Augustus didn't do that. It makes me more appreciative.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R171DLRS15FEA3?ASIN=014242417X	A	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Total tear jerker. I cried most of the second half. If you have ever seen anyone go through cancer treatment, this one will get you, throwing in that it's children...yeah. After I finished the book I thought, why haven't they made this a movie. Turns out they have and it's coming out this year. I hope the actor playing Augustus measures up to the written character.,</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3QNUZ52S3MZX5?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing book!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This tragic love story was amazing!! It was one of those books that you say you are only going to read one chapter of, but then finish the book. I loved this book, but it was very tragic, heart breaking, and sad.  I would recommend this to people who like romance books, but aren't afraid to cry. I look forward to maybe reading more books by John Green in the future.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R27HM7VGJMUGBU?ASIN=014242417X	Absolutely phenomenal	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Although no one may even bother reading this, I must at least state how much this book makes an individual consider the effect of life and death. Or that we actually have the power to pick what hurts us. I rated this book 5/5 stars because it shows a take on life through someone's eyes I wouldn't know otherwise. Do yourself a favor and read this extraordinary novel.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R16SR03F6UFSGW?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing, touching, brilliant, and truthful.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was the first book I've ever read that made me cry,In a good way. The tragedy in the near end was truthful. Of course it was sad, yes, but it showed that love goes on forever. ""Some infinities are bigger than other indignities."" Thank you, Mr. Green, for this one  of a kind treasure that I have so far read 3 times and plan on reading many more. - Jamie K F</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1UW8MUNR6BES2?ASIN=014242417X	Very Predictable...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I was told by lots of people that this book MUST be read... However, I found it quite boring and highly predictable.<br/><br/>Maybe my expectations were too high? Or maybe I am too old for it??<br/><br/>The love story was cute, it was like a long draw out version of the love story in 'My sisters Keeper' - which is a good story, but also disappointing in the end.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1QPO2MNBSTE9C?ASIN=014242417X	Beautiful Story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I'll keep this short and focus on the story and the writing and not the topic because I fortunately cannot relate.  This was a beautiful thought provoking book by a brilliant author.  I found Hazel and Augustus to be amazing characters with emotional depth and intelligence lacking in most YA novels (though I'm not sure if such verbose teenagers exist in real life).</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1JC4HM0HS4BV?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">It was a.great book but it was a terrible book I don't know if this makes sense to you I got to the point where it was such a good book I  didn't want to finish it because I knew that it was getting sad and I just wanted to continue it the way it was at the beginning but it was a great book and I got hooked on I just couldn't put it down I kind of wish it continued</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2IKVKIEB47BN4?ASIN=014242417X	Very thoughtful book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I really enjoyed this book.  it really made you think about life in ways outside the norm.  I let my 11 year old daughter read this book but probably shouldn't have.  needs to be an older child I feel but I'm not horribly upset she read it either.  I hope it actually helps her grow &amp; understand the tragedy in life &amp; how to make the best of what you get out of life.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RZ44GJQF88FW4?ASIN=014242417X	Wonderful read.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I gave this book 5 stars because it's the kind of book that latches onto you and won't let go till you get to the last page. I've experienced cancer personally and lived to talk about it to others. This book is for anyone who has loved or lost someone dear to them. The feelings are so real that you can actually put yourself in the book and experience it personally.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2J3UO7FZZZB8G?ASIN=014242417X	This book was great. I will recommend it to anyone	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was great. I will recommend it to anyone. It was light reading on top of a very heavy circumstance. I laughed and I cried and I kept wanting to read more. I also fell in love and connected with each of the characters. I think John Green did an amazing job in tying all the loose ends of this book together so when it was over I felt satisfied. A great read!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2897JK6DMNWLP?ASIN=014242417X	easy reading, would appeal to teens more than adults	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The story is not developed very far, remains fairly basic and somewhat unfinished, perhaps on purpose. The author has obviously done research on the psychology of people with terminal illnesses and the book provides good insights into that world. I enjoyed it, but it was not a book I would strongly recommend to an adult, it is however entertaining and easy to read.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3SIQJS36FIG63?ASIN=014242417X	A Box of Kleenex	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is a very emotional book about the roller coaster life of cancer patients, especially the children and their families. As a cancer survivor myself, I could identify with many of the things that happened, even though I was an adult when facing the big ""C"". I read the book first, then just saw the movie, which was well-done and closely followed the book.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1IF6ZGWSTI42X?ASIN=014242417X	It Hurts In The Best Possible Way.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">THE FAULT IN OUR STARS was an amazing read. Full of humur, love, and most of all LIFE. The book itself is a masterpiece. The voice of Hazel Grace is amazing and Augustus Winters is magnificent. AMAZING book if you are the kind of person who likes books that actually make you FEEL something. DEFINITELY am in love with this book. If i could give it ten stars I would.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3ILYKLERJZLD?ASIN=014242417X	AMAZING	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is my summer reading program book for the college I'm attending in August. I bought it 3 days ago and completely fell in love with it, while it looked like I was on my phone constantly I just had my face stuck in the book. I recommend this to everyone. It is a must read! I've never fell absolutely in love with a book until I read this! Absolutely amazing.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R29J9VYLIEQT0A?ASIN=014242417X	Slow start	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read the free preview and almost didn't purchase the book.  It was a little too ""chick-flick-like"" for me.  But - for some reason - I did buy it and really enjoyed it.  I even got a little misty-eyed nearing the end (and I was reading it at the gym while on the treadmill...how embarrassing).  The story unfolds evenly and the characters are well developed.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2PM5RTGQPOMZ?ASIN=014242417X	inspirational	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Happiness is not known without sadness. A moving story of hurt and happiness, a moving picture of tragedies that surround us everyday as we move in the circle of our life with little regard for the battles faced by those around us. A story of true compassion and bravery. Loved every page as love is woven throughout with inspirational words and actions. A must read!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1AZM8CBG4UMAR?ASIN=014242417X	Brilliant	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is legitimately one of my favorite books in the world. I would recommend it to anyone and everyone. Forewarning: Do not read unless you want to die and live at the same time and sob your eyes out and you just won't care because it is just so fantastically wonderfully perfect. You will also have mixed emotions about John Green for the rest of your Earthly life.</span>"

Sometimes we laugh so we don't cry. Life is life. No matter how dire the situation u have to find comfort or relief Somewhere. This story was wonderful. Felt so real.<br/><br/>May God bless and keep you,<br/>A happy customer.</span>"

2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RQF8PYLM83O7I?ASIN=014242417X	The fault in our stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was absolutely amazing. John green had some deep thoughts in this book making me think twice of certain things. I must say though this book was very sad. I'm not going to give away anything, but honestly I would recommend this book to anyone. It truly is a love story I'll want to re read even if it made cry a lot. All those tears were worth it in the end.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2O8OEFEBZ8TDI?ASIN=014242417X	Hilarious and heart breaking	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I hadn't read a young adult fiction novel for a while, probably since high school, which would be some 8 years ago, and I was surprised at how affected I was by this book. It made me laugh, it made me cry (streaming tears), and it made me reevaluate my life. And I did not think a 16 yr old narrator would do that. A beautiful, touching story that I highly recommend.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3OZSXH962ROT1?ASIN=014242417X	Bittersweet teenage love story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is about two teenagers, Hazel (16) and Gus (17). And thanks to their cancers, they can meet. Hazel's cancer metastasized to her lungs and Gus is 17 with bone cancer. They are clever with words and like to debate the meaning of life. Gus is friendly and he rocks Hazel's world but it is Hazel who completes Gus. It is funny and sad. A bittersweet love story.</span>"

Love, death, heartache. When you read this story you feel so attached to the characters the plot and every word that John Green says, you feel like you were in the story and it was happening to you. I feel in love with this story by the first word I read. I could not put it down.  John Green you are amazing</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I think in general everyone who reads this book will love it :) It's a roller coaster of emotions but well worth it! It's one of the few books that I pretty much read within a day (2 days... but I have to sleep :( ).<br/><br/>If you're thinking about this book I would recommend it! It's much better than the movie and you really fall in love with the characters~~</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1NLXP1LZI9ITD?ASIN=014242417X	A real tear jerker	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book made me ugly cry. I had to take a break from reading to compose myself. I didn't and did enjoy this book. The way Hazel and Gus talked had to do with it. There were bittersweet moments and then just a complete heart breaking moment that I figured was going to happen before halfway through reading the book yet that didn't make it any less heart wrenching.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RY4MFCPOVE86F?ASIN=014242417X	Wonderful!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I recommend this book to everyone. Once you start reading it, you won't be able to put it down. It's engaging, enchanting, and all together beautiful! I normally don't read books like this as I prefer fantasy, but I'm happy I read it because it's possibly one of the best books I've ever read. You'll laugh, and you'll cry, but you'll be grateful for having read it.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/ROE6G9EU53HPM?ASIN=014242417X	Touching...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Indiana was my home for 25 years, so I am partial to this story of teens coping with the journey of terminal cancer, which is centered in Indianapolis.  Their lives are deep, not wide.  As adults we waste too much time with trivial nonsense. They take nothing for granted.  Any age, from teens to adults will appreciate this tender story of hope and joy and sadness.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R22IJ9QT99W7OX?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I downloaded this book before it was a movie. I wished I read it sooner. I have a whole new perspective on cancer, how people who are battling it everyday. This book is very well written, captivating, and beautiful. Definitely brought me to tears, and really touches you. I recommend this book to everyone and anyone regardless of age. I absolutely loved every page!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2S8B2LIIZM0V0?ASIN=014242417X	Heartbreakingly Beautiful.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">John Green has written an amazing story of love and friendship. I was not expecting the turn of events he presented and was surprised at my deep emotional attachment to the characters almost from the beginning.<br/><br/>I would recommend this book to a friend, and will probably read it again since I buzzed through it so quickly I'm sure there are parts I missed.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3N7RC8EOLDR6D?ASIN=014242417X	Best John Green book so far.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Well, what can I say? The characters are believable and funny. (My personal favorite is Van Houten.) The plot is good, the storyline is great, and the book is written phenomenally altogether. I've read the book seven times, and I still can't get sick of it because you catch something new every time you read it. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a good book.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1AOBK6OS3XH93?ASIN=014242417X	I'll admit, I cried	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I never thought of cancer or people my age with cancer because it was a thought I could not fathom. Their life is truly beautiful.. a constant struggle, just to fill your loved ones with the joy of another day with them even though all they want to do is let go bc hope is kind of lost when your survival rate is so low. But the love hazel &amp;Gus found was remarkable!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3539BX9YMNN7U?ASIN=014242417X	Sweet story from a great point of view	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The book was told in first person from the point of view of a teenage cancer patient. The author was able to share feelings and perspective that I'm glad I could learn about and ""see."" It's always good to be able to see things from someone else's point of view. The love story was very sweet too and I love how they helped each other through difficult times.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R27PDIA72PAUOZ?ASIN=014242417X	Fantastic book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I came into this book not knowing anything about the plot. I was hooked from the very beginning. As a person who has lost family members to cancer and had others fight it into remission, I appreciated the journey Green took me on. It was a wonderful mix of comedy and tragedy. It's been a long time since a book has made me cry so hard. I highly recommend this book.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R11NYMWJLNH858?ASIN=014242417X	Amazingly written terribly painful	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is so amazingly written and its such an amazing story. It's such an amazing book, but beware it will break your heart, you will laugh and cry (sometimes in the same sentence), you will hear a story of true love, and true pain and true heartbreak. Take heart my friends, you will get through it, because without heartbreak and pain you would never know joy.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1Q7S1OOA5M5LI?ASIN=014242417X	The Feels.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I recommend this book to anyone who wants to be unable to put it down. If you're looking for a book that will tug at your heart strings, this is your book. It gives you a realization of what the REAL cancer patients endure, and how some of their thoughts go through. This book is beautifully written. I so enjoyed every last word of it. And I feel that you will too.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RLJSOP1LN1VIF?ASIN=014242417X	Breathtakingly ponderous	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I had heard a great deal about this book online, and yet had heard nothing at all. So, therefore, I had no clue what this book would even be about. Add I began reading, I noticed the beauty of the story, the meaning the words written between the lines and felt connected, and understood. John Green, I am metaphorically forever going to remember and love this story.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1F9XGWGQ1QFKR?ASIN=014242417X	A refreshing take on mortality	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is engaging and certainly makes you think, re assessing your opinions and what not. I could not fault this book except to say that sometimes the language can become at tad inaccessible and long winded; i often found myself using the dictionary feature on my kindle to make sense of some phrases. Otherwise this book is flawless, refreshing in every aspect.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2RYJ6CE5MS1FY?ASIN=014242417X	A Masterpiece in words	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I would recommend this to anyone who doesn't mind crying. This is a major tear jerker and will make you cry enough to start a flood. The thing I liked about it most was Gus and Hazel's personality. They were so passionate about everything. Their intelligence level was amazing to. It was fast paced and down to earth. One of the best books I've read in a long time!</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2206KKXN0AEK4?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book made my cry so hard at some points that I swore I was going to stop reading it.  But I didn't.  And I loved it.  And I will read it again.  I was probably most impressed by how spot-on the author captured the experiences of a teenage girl.  I can't relate to the cancer issue, but in some ways Hazel reminded me so much of myself 15 years ago.  Fantastic.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1U1W6LTO8KFYX?ASIN=014242417X	Good	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The fault in our stars is a book that is recommended for people of all ages. This heartbreaking story of love and loss is one that is perfect for anyone to read. Hazel and Gus are the perfect messed up couple that draws you in as you find yourself weeping and laughing right along with the characters. Perfect for anyone and guaranteed to be your new favorite book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2YA96PVAYSAYP?ASIN=014242417X	pretentious teens	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read this book because of all the hype and found it more so so. The kids were unbearably pretentious. The storyline itself was sad but not something so unusual I hadn't read similar things before. Very good writing and you could really feel character personalities. These are two vey rare teenagers to talk and act as they do. Like Dawson's creek or something. :)</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R13IAW7VIGX9G8?ASIN=014242417X	Heartcrushingly good	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Wow.  I can't stop thinking about this book.  And that's six months after reading it.  The story is, of course, heartcrushing.  And beautiful, funny, surprising, adventurous.  You can't help falling in love with the kids, and feeling the intense pain of the parents (even though they are very minor characters).  How could the movie live up to this beautiful novel?</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RGMV68QOHIRA8?ASIN=014242417X	This book literally changed my life.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I love this book. John Green, one of my favorite authors of all time, captured the true meaning of being afraid to fall in love, since falling in love with that person could mean scarring them for life as well. I'm currently watching the movie and so far, it's amazing. Thank you John Green. I can always count on you to have a reason to laugh, cry, and enjoy life.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1MQ2L7R7Y0VO?ASIN=014242417X	A GREAT READ	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Another book that I couldn't put down. You would think that a story about teenage cancer patients would be depressing but not this one. I think this is what it must really be like for those who know they are dying. And for their families. Learning to accept the inevitable and living each day as if it were a gift. Sadness and happiness and love. Very well written.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R199YB115AV95N?ASIN=014242417X	What a great read.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">What a great read...Without being ""gushy"" about terminal cancer and especially those who thought they were about to start their lives as adults, John Green presented the true facts and did it through two amazing characters, as well as a third sightless boy who showed how the two main characters reacted to his condition --bravely, with empathy, with grace.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1BESNZPEM8JJR?ASIN=014242417X	Van Houten	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Awkward appearance by this character at the funeral of Gus. As if the man wanted to have a connection, attempted to fill a void, had been so out of touch for so long that he forgot how to feel. He fumbled when reaching out, the effort leaving no more of an impact than the hint of a light breeze, already a ghost passing by the living. There but not.<br/>Sadistina</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2R0BF2Z7LP4P1?ASIN=014242417X	Read alone!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I was not forewarned as to the plot of this book so I'm glad that I had my cats with me to SPOILER ALERT comfort me as things got tough about halfway through. I was a wreck. I was fascinated how Green approaches a teenage relationship with such a fresh perspective and makes it real and not cheap or stereotypical when Twilight has cheapened true love a bit for us.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R155ZPGD38GC1G?ASIN=014242417X	Good Life Lessons	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">In this novel, Green described a lot of coping tavtics to deal with depression and anxiety that is useful to anyone, and this book also taught me a lot about the unfairness of life. There is no better way to tackle life, than to quit being a homebody, and to face it head on, even when the odds are not in your favor. I thank John Green, Gus, Just Hazel, and Isaac.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2RYOC83PQ5SPS?ASIN=014242417X	Great sad story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I couldn't give the story five stars because I can't let cancer be the best at anything. The story is great, real and so full of the twists that those who have dealt with the ups and downs of cancer knows so well. Nothing in life is guaranteed and nothing dealing with death is pleasant. It is what we go through like it or not. We can only choose how we accept it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RJSYJRUUVNR10?ASIN=014242417X	I have no words	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is the best book I have ever read. I was so shocked and sad and angry I just wanted to cry (I did and didn't realize it). This is the book that I will read over and over again because this author did something no other author has done to me before it made me try value life and I know that sounds a little cheese but I don't care. I strongly suggest this book.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3VN7SG1KO1R6P?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing, indescribable	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I have no words for how good this book is. It really teaches the lesson that people die, but love never ends. To me, this book really meant something. It was a true love story with good messages, and beautiful writing. I hope that John Green continues to write amazing books like this- I will be keeping an eye out for more. I just hope he's not a Peter Van Houten.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RUUV31C8Z1K38?ASIN=014242417X	Hopeless world view	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was easy to read, a decent story, well-written.  But what made me sad is the author (and through him, his characters) has such a hopeless world-view.  I hope support groups of real-life sufferers can offer other options besides either hopelessness/meaninglessness or the idea of living on clouds and riding unicorns.  Really?  That's the only alternative?</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/REGQVJGY0WCZ4?ASIN=014242417X	I am hooked	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I am hooked on John Green. This book is full of quirky and lovable characters, even side characters have such a presence and personality that you want to know each one's story. This book has a life and reality to it that captures you instantly. The witty repartee is not to be overlooked either. This is the first of John's books I've read, it will not be the last.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2J3PNIXGO0DYW?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">My sister recommended this book drawing me to read it in one sitting. I had gotten through not even 5 pages before I realized that I wanted to savour this absolutely thrilling and AMAZING novel. And savour it I did this book is so wonderful and truly you have to read it, it will give you a great new and better outlook on life.<br/>  P.s sorry for the spelling :)</span>"

The story line was amazing, and suspenseful. when i read this book, i couldn't put it down. I liked this book because it was relatable, and it was also an eye opener, on  the world of cancer. You learn, some about what cancer patients go through everyday, and its very amazing how much they go through.</span>"

It's a book about love, and cancer, and about surviving even in the hardest times.  I wish I was as strong as Hazel Grace.  This book has touched many hearts, and it will continue to touch many more.  This book is sad, and beautiful, and even more sad, and even more beautiful.  Amen, John Green, for you are the best writer ever.  #nerdfighteria</span>"

If you are past your teen years, don't be dissuaded from reading it. The characters are teens but the story and its messages encompass every age.  I obtained the CD first from the public library but was so impressed with this book that I purchased it as part of my home library.  Thank you John Green.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RUWWCATD4T0VD?ASIN=014242417X	Very Good	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This was a really good book. It was the first book of John Green's that I have read and I liked it so much I immediately bought 2 more. I really like his style of writing.

I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys well written, interesting characters and a compelling story.</span>"

I will get mad if you don't read this book. please read it.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R21X9SJ0ZW5PAF?ASIN=014242417X	A Sobering Read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The great gift of this book is to view cancer in young people through a positive lens.  Through her relationship with Augustus, Hazel learns the art of going on.  Death is an awful fact of life.  It comes to everyone sooner or later.  This book accepts that fact and helps its characters make the most of the time and circumstances they have.  I liked this lesson.</span>"

I love the details, I love the conversations, I love how the story flowed together. I was amazing, Im getting everyone I know to read TFIOS and Im also looking forward to seeing the movie.

4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RNPPIV8APL30G?ASIN=014242417X	Bring the tissues	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">You will cry. This book is very well written and beautiful. Not only the way it's written but in the words it's self. It's inspirational but not inspirational all in the same paragraph the characters are vibrant and real. You will fall in love with both Hazel and Gus. Please please if you are looking for a beautiful classic book, then read The Fault in our Stars</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RBZBDJH6AN2ZQ?ASIN=014242417X	The fault in our stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This was without a doubt the best book a person could ever read. In my opinion it was the most saddest books I have ever read. I cried st the end of this book and I'm not a person who usually cries at the end of a realistic fiction book. Any body who likes romantic, sad, and very literal books should read this. Also the movie comes to theaters on June 6th, 2014.</span>"

With a very busy life, I was hoping to make time for it, and I am glad I did.  I found it to be pretty much what most of the reviews said it was, very funny, and sad.  Though I feel it was a lot more humorous than it was sad.  I appreciate the perspective of life and death that this book relates to us.<br/>Stephen</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R31LC67XKR19DN?ASIN=014242417X	When will the emotions stop?	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read this book, mesmerized by it. I held onto my mom's kindle- being that I didn't have one- begging one more hour to read this book. I had a addiction to this book. I laughed out loud and cried for an hour on end. This book truly touched my heart and I'd love to read it again and again. I'd recommend it to anyone, honestly. Such a heart touching fan favorite.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R213N1H8UB1GB4?ASIN=014242417X	love at its truest	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I refused to read this book for a good six months trying to avoid the mass amount of tears that I knew were to follow reading this book but that was certainly a great mistake on my behalf. This book was beautifully written. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to read something with real meaning and not a horrible vampire story. I<br/>Have the tissues ready</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1ZFLE1TZXWKF3?ASIN=014242417X	Breathtaking	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book has made me rethink all meaning in this work. It is truly sad to think we will die but can not be remembered like we should. But I think Augustus and Hazel's story is beautiful, and definitely worth remembering. It shows us all that glorious things can happen even when we are at our worst. In the book it proves that love conquers all even after we die.</span>"

I liked everything but the fast story line. I want a story line that it feels like I'm part of the book and that makes me feel the main characters feelings. and this book didn't have that but other tha that it was a Great book. It was worth the money.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2U4LP5F4P8JOR?ASIN=014242417X	Wow!!!Touching Story......	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is a very good read. When I got just about half way thru the story I couldn't stop. At this moment I'm writing this review at 3:50am. I just had to finish this book. Which by the way I'm glad it didn't end like An Imperial Affliction.........hopefully not a spoiler for anyone. I highly recommend this book.....ENJOY......just know there will be tears.......</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1UHDYFXHU6MNB?ASIN=014242417X	Wow	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I just can't say I'm done with this book yet I've finished it. It's simple yet so complex its to hard to explain. I wish it would have a happy ending and the princess would get the Prince but there's no possible way for that to happen. Reality was spoken so deeply I'm questioning it and the whole story through and through was more than extraordinary. Okay?Okay.</span>"

To manipulate my mind and my feelings. This book is like the uproar of the stupid game flappy bird. The end really pisses you off. Don't read this book unless you're alone or you don'Cree about crying in public. Even if you're not a book crier person you are destined to cry. Though I hate John Green I will always</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I'm not one big in reading but once I started this book couldn't put it down for anything. If you happen to read this review and have any interest in all to read the book, I highly recommend you do. This book goes from humorous to heart clenching in a millisecond. The compassion that  is expressed throughout the story between the two teenagers is extraordinary.</span>"

The insight and humor it was written with were refreshing. I couldn't put it down! I fell in love with both the characters and their stories. I was sad to see the story end. I wanted more.

I could relate to the experiences of love, life, and death as told in the story. I usually can tell in the first few pages of a book if I would enjoy reading it -but I was held captive to this one and read it in one day.  The movements and actions of the characters were moving and also serious at points in the story.</span>"

What I loved most was its honesty. In other books that confront the topics of cancer and suffering, they are often compiled of ""fluff"", or an over-glamorized image of what those things are. This book is loaded with genuine suffering, but also honesty and humor.<br/><br/>Highly recommended.</span>"

John Green managed to climb into the skins of two modern-day teenagers.<br/>he talked their language and made their jokes.<br/>Green used Van Houten's book to spice his novel with deep. sometimes shocking quotes<br/>Yes, sometimes too much of a tearjerker.....but actually the reality of cancer is something to cry about..</span>"

Chosen because it was an easy read, I was delighted to find out it was also a great story.  Very real, humorous, sad, happy... really,  just well done.  Our local highschool chose this as one of their assigned reads, and I see why.  Any young adult, or Grown up adult would find this book worthy.</span>"

Whether it was the sweet love story, trips to the Heart of Jesus or the hospital, Green presented the characters lives in such a way that it might aid us in similar situations.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">No one thinks about death but the dying &amp; those losing someone. This might be the first time, in realization of the inevitable that will become all of us, that I spent 25 chapters understanding what a gift life is.  We should all live in the present moment, every moment,  because this is OUR story, THIS...good/bad, joy/pain, stagnant complacency, THIS IS life.</span>"

Also it has you realize that the fault is in our stars.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3D3M6XD4NPPXY?ASIN=014242417X	If the Gilmore Girls had cancer....	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The fault in our Stars is a Smart, well written novel.  Green manages to seemlessly weave together contemporary pop culture references with philosophical/existential observations.  The end result is a thoroughly enjoyable, albeit a bit depressing, work that should stand the test of time and certainly should attract readers well outside of its targeted audience</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1P8W9UQCZL3RP?ASIN=014242417X	Brilliant	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">One of the best books I've read. This is an absolute must read. I loved every word of it.

The perspective on dying by teenagers with cancer was so enlightening.  How they felt not only about themselves, but also their parents, friends, and each other was spot on.  There was also parts of the book that made me laugh out loud.  All in all, it was very well written and I highly recommend it.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RX44O34G4XFZA?ASIN=014242417X	Memorable	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">When I saw the preview for the movie, I opted out of seeing it.  I had no idea the John Green I'd seen occasionally on his blog had written any books, let alone this book.  Yes, I cried during some parts, but I'd be laughing the next minute at some ridiculous stress breaker, like the voice- controlled video game.  It's a very memorable and well-crafted story.</span>"

I fell in love with the whole book. And was star struck when it ended the way it did, when it ended it ended in my tears. I feel like I became hazel and that I in a way fell in love with Gus throughout the book. John green you are a amazing writer. Thank you, for giving me the privilege to read this book.</span>"

In some parts I cried because it was sad, but at the same time interesting. I wish there were more books to the first one but I'm just happy I got to read this one. I enjoyed it very much and part of it was the funny parts and how Hazel and Augustus were always together until he died.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2WU1OS54MB1ZF?ASIN=014242417X	Great story!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This intrigued me because of the movie that was about to come out based on this book.  I work at a middle school and a lot of the students were reading it as well.  It was a very heart-wrenching story that made me want to not put it down until I finished it.  Very real emotions from all characters and a very easy read.  I would definitely recommend this book.</span>"

I literally just bought it on Monday andtoday is Wednesday. It was perfect.I won't spoil anything, but I laughed,I teared up a little ,and then cried like a baby. Not to many books can make me do that. John Green has written a masterpiece and I cannot wait to see the movie! &lt;3</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2WGQ8Y2C2PXAE?ASIN=014242417X	YA book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Although I'm far from the YA category I appreciated the story told with this book.  Even though the subject of cancer is not a pleasant one, I felt it was presented realistically.  You can't help but fall in love with Gus and Hazel and their very quirky personalities. You'll laugh out loud and reach for a tissue in the same chapter...maybe even the same page.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RSSYJP8IR14HU?ASIN=014242417X	A truly amazing novel	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was a phenomenal representation of a well written book. It did not have a fairy tale happy ending, that most  people look for. It showed that real life can be hard but we have to feel pain before we can feel joy. As I was reading I felt all the  love and  pain that the characters felt and that's how you know it was a good book. Well done John Green.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read this on the recommendation of my granddaughter.  I thought it was a nice story, but didn't quite get why my granddaughter loved it so much.  Maybe its a generation thing.  I did finish it, but it took me a while to get through it.  It wasn't the kind of book that you simply had to keep reading to the end.  Like I said, maybe it was a generation thing.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RVZ2FU76GF2FX?ASIN=014242417X	An excellent read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">As an bone marrow transplant nurse I found that this book ran true to course. Earlier in my career I did pediatric transplants and this book brought back many memories. I learned much from caring for this patient population mostly the joy of living even when faced with extreme adversity. I saw clips from the movie this morning, hopefully it follows the book.</span>"

Now, Hazel and Augustus are the types of characters that you ship immediately. I was devastated at the end. But John Green made it work so well, that it was perfect. I look forward to reading more John Green books in the future, even if they destroy my feelings, because this book was perfect.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Not since my younger years, whist reading The Perks of Being a Wallflower, have I been so touched by a book. It is Ya yes, but even at 30 years old it is amazingly incredible. The characters, feelings/emotions.... All of it is wonderful. A deep book that you will not ever forget!  My only complaint is that  I read it far too quickly. I could not pace myself!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R8BGN3KWT2Z43?ASIN=014242417X	WOW...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I originally chose to read this book because one of my friends expressed her love for it on Facebook. I decided to try out a sample of this book and I fell in love with it. I read the sample so quickly that I couldn't help but want to read the rest of the story of Hazel Grace and Augustus. It's beautiful. The emotions, the words, the story....it's beautiful.</span>"

Thank you for the gift, John Green.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3BV2V7OXO4K56?ASIN=014242417X	A read that was too fast...but very enjoyable.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I ordered this on my Kindle and finally got around to reading it. I'm in my 30s and thought I was too old b/c it was popular with teens...but it was so  ???? I had to read more , it did not take long to read, It forces you to have these feelings of empathy, I don't know how you could fight it! Its a quick read to twist your heart but I enjoyed it very much.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R7FUUDEE9R5VA?ASIN=014242417X	Liked it (just not as much as the masses)	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The trouble with reading such a popular book is that you have really high expectations going in.  I really liked this book, but don't think I liked it as much as most.  A few things just didn't seem realistic to me.  I've suffered from a debilitating, chronic disease for over ten years, but not life threatening, so maybe I just have a different perspective.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2QEOC5XN6O0E7?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book will make you cry. And if you see the movie, it will make you cry too. And I'm talking full fledged tears here. You're going to look like a spaz because you're eyes will drip so much. Makes you feel empty when you're done reading it. But it's one of those books you just have to read, because even though there's a movie, this book needs to be read.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RH20THONUKG3S?ASIN=014242417X	Special book for an easy read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Easy, comfortable read.  Love the voice of the book.  Yes a little sad but I loved the characters.  My daughter died 15 years ago of cancer at the age of 9 and I wasn't turned off my the subject or the story.  My daughter and I keep trying to see the movie at a theater before we have to break down and watch it at home.  We want the movie theater experience.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RIIVLE0XGG0BK?ASIN=014242417X	Honest	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">A book that doesn't mince words on how difficult life is with cancer. Young people having to make decisions that adults have problems making is heartbreaking. At least in this book the parents were supporting, how many do not help their child through something like this is staggering. While sad and difficult for me to read, the brutal honesty was/is needed.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RMQB5Z4AE5N8I?ASIN=014242417X	I'm going to 're-read this!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I am a breast-cancer ""survivor"" (hate that expression!).  I started this book this morning and finished it in a day.... so close to the heart and thoughtful; unlike a ny other book I've read involving Cancer.  Great love story; I never anticipated the way it ended, but it was a rich story which touched on many of the thoughts and feelings of cancer victims.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R215Q2N8HAR8R1?ASIN=014242417X	Fairly well written story but was not great	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">While I thought this book was well written, I really did not enjoy the book that much. I think it might be good for people who have had a child with cancer, etc. but it was not laid out in a way that it was able to touch my heart deeply. Nevertheless, it does not rate less than 3 stars as it is certainly a worthy theme, just one I could not really get into.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RB9MTJ5M3KI36?ASIN=014242417X	Good book that I read in three days	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The fault in our stars was a really good book. I had been wanting to read it for months and when I finally got it, I couldn't stop reading. This book was the first that I have read from Greene but I now intend to read others. This was a beautiful book, although in the end it was sad. Things could have been different but if they were it wouldn't be as great!</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2PMY5PA54PQN5?ASIN=014242417X	AMAZING! heart wrenching	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book skewered my heart like a kabob and tore it out and broke it into a million pieces! I cried like a little baby but overall I would recommend this book who all love a perfect love story. But.....I would recommend this book for and only people 13+ unless you are really mature? few bad words and sexual reference but otherwise his book was SPECTACULAR!</span>"

The story wasn't a trite teen dying story. It was full of humor-""and whatever"" (just like a teen really says!). The characters were full of discovery, both within and without. And they had self-respect. I really liked this story.<br/>I'll have to sign off now... I'm going to begin reading it again.</span>"

My friends have been trying to convince me to read this book even though I am not a very romance person. This book is not purely romance but tells about the life of a girl who has to battle cancer. I truly enjoyed this book. A well done job by John Green. I recommend this book if you enjoy romance and books with unexpected twists.</span>"

I have never read anything quite like it. But with that being said, while it is original, it isn't extremely jaw dropping or mind blowing about it.<br/><br/>It surely does explore the subjects of dying and illness in a way I've never thought about before. I feel like I have a sense of what a terminal cancer patient feels like.</span>"

This tragic love story, as many do, ended too quickly. We must learn to love, and that true love lasts eternally. I have read this book, and I shall never be the same. God bless you, Augustus Waters and you, Hazel Grace. I love this book and shall love it forever.</span>"

You will be happy you read this one, even though it's incredibly sad. So sad that I was sobbing as I read and my glasses fogged up and I couldn't see my Kindle. The voice of the main character feels real -- Kudos to the author. Highly recommend this one.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RE4YUS896TCJV?ASIN=014242417X	Heart wrenching, compelling and memorable	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Read this at the suggestion of a granddaughter with whom I have a very unofficial book club. Engaging from the start this story captured me so I couldn't put the book down.<br/>The characters, the dialogue, the descriptions of symptoms and feelings about being sick were of great quality...real without being manipulative.  John Green walks a good line here.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1SJVZ993WS09J?ASIN=014242417X	It was amazing!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">A simple review can't do this book justice but to make it short and sweet it was amazing. If you want a book that is going to stick with you long after that last word has been read this is it. Hazel is a wonderful character and Augustus was brilliant. They were funny and charming and I loved reading this book. A perfect mixture of love, laughter, and tears.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3Q83MV6SZGLHW?ASIN=014242417X	Nothing Short of Amazing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I had heard so many good things about this book, so I bought it. I stayed up all night reading it. I found it beautiful and amazing. I feel like I look at things a bit differently now. The characters, Augustus and Hazel, really opened up my eyes to some things. Their story is beautiful. I hope that someday, someone will love me the way Augustus loves Hazel.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R35MVIPENYQPJG?ASIN=014242417X	Not impressed	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read this book having no idea what it was about, but I loved looking for Alaska so I gave it a shot. Not my cup of tea, it was very unrealistic and sappy. The characters had very little depth to them and had the same thing over and over again, with little plot. This book was very hyped up and it disappointed me greatly. Looking for Alaska was much better.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R22XRAJ6BBEVQ9?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book inspired me. It is so different from other books for many reasons, one it was brutally honest (not cheesy like other books), it was romantic and I wanted to be in love like the characters, and it was tragic and it is the first time I have ever cried while reading a book. John Green wrote this book beautifully and nobody could have wrote it better.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3DX18O7V91FU4?ASIN=014242417X	Great book, but some punctuation issues.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Let me start out by saying that this was a great book. The story kept moving and never dragged. However, I do lament the misuse of question marks where they clearly don't belong. For example, when you start a sentence with ""Maybe..."" it is a statement, not a question. This appears throughout the book.<br/><br/>Overall, touching story that is well written.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RS23PFODSXDN0?ASIN=014242417X	My new favorite book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I don't know why this book is rated for young teens. I'm way past being a teenager. This book touched me, so much so that I've read it twice already. I've seen the movie also. As much as I loved the movie this book has so much depth to it. The characters were alive and shared their pain and their love with us. If you liked the movie,  you'll love the book.</span>"

OMG	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I knew this book was popular but I wasn't aware this is a sad story!<br/><br/>OMG...this book took me to emotional roller coaster.<br/>It made me laugh, smile, gave me butterflies in the stomach and it made me cry!<br/><br/>I wasn't particularly looking for a sappy story to read at the time,but I couldn't put it down and I really enjoyed reading this.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RAX7QSQG7AWNQ?ASIN=014242417X	a heart felt love story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This was definitely one of the best books I have ever read . Even though I am just a healthy young 6th grader with a love for books I felt as though it hazel was me.I am a teen with a cancer story unlike any other, that falls in love with a handsome boy.Because of this I sometimes I am light, sometimes I am dark but with this book my feelings are infinite.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2XPTRKBBN7C0Z?ASIN=014242417X	Sad but true...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is a sad story but beautifully written.<br/>I was a pediatric hospice volunteer for fourteen years and I found that the message in this book was spot on: these kids wanted not to hurt anyone with their death and wanted to know their loved ones would be ok after they were gone.  As much as this was a sad story, there is also a sense of love living on.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R113HEHTBIR7P3?ASIN=014242417X	sad but real	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">O this book has changed me. Everything I think of the world has been challenged. And I couldn't be more great flu for that. The girl has the kind of spirit that will move anyone. And lucky for Augustus. He met her. He's a great person too. Such a pity their infinity wasn't long. But the love they shared was something special. No matter what the time frame.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2729LHPBVRD5N?ASIN=014242417X	Great Story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book had a great story to it. I enjoy reading stories like these. The last twenty pages, however sort of drag on without meaning. Up until that point it was a great story and deserves all of the praise it has received. I would recommend this book to teenagers and young adults. NOTE: There are sex scenes and bad language so make sure you can handle it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3GU2K9F81W20M?ASIN=014242417X	good but too much	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I think this was good. Finished in 1 day. Didn't cry, definitely better than I thought it to be.<br/>I like that it avoided to be cheesy, but it still was. Funny, however, I found myself genuinely laughing.<br/>Intriguing book, wish Augustus Waters's did exist. Seems a bit too much.<br/>Many great quotes, much too overused though--not the authors fault.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3ED4EC8MAK27?ASIN=014242417X	it was amazing.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I loved this book. I knew what was going to happen before they started the foreshadowing, but i also have a bad habit of guessing the endings of books and movies. Even thought I knew the ending, it still got emotional and I cried twice. I liked how the book was written for the point if view of a cancer patient the book wouldn't be good if it want for that.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RQA2M7MWWSKEI?ASIN=014242417X	Puts life in perspective	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Most of us are stressed over bills, work, appointments etc. but these teenagers have the ultimate stress...a terminal disease.<br/>Although the subject was serious, Green does an excellent job showing how sick teenagers are just like any teenager, they love, hate and push the limits of their lives.  Readers will feel they know and love Hazel and Augustus.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R208SMJMWWN887?ASIN=014242417X	A Good Red On Many Levels	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book intrigued me from beginning to end.  I think what struck me most was how realistic the teen characters were about the reality of their precarious world.  Cancer was a part of their life and they dealt with it.  John Green's writing is excellent.  The effects of this read stayed with me for quite some time.  Am looking forward to reading it again.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RG8MZJF8VBC1P?ASIN=014242417X	Wonderful....	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I loved this book. I read some reviews that said the book doesn't take the cancer seriously enough and I can't imagine that we were reading the same book.  It was always there, and John Green created these wonderful characters who get through it. I smiled, I laughed, I cried and felt so grateful for life at the end of this book. Highly highly recommend!!!!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3ISYXC730Q5HC?ASIN=014242417X	Perfect	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is my first John Green book and I love it! I love the story so much, I never stopped reading this book. I never put it down. This is a beautiful book and I can't wait for the movie. The Fault In Our stars is a must read book for everyone.

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1WAUXLR8VDNIR?ASIN=014242417X	Recommended by a friend and glad I read it	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Of course I cried. I'm a cancer survivor. Leukemia at the age of 5. If my friend had told me what this book was about, I might not have read it. But I'm glad I did. I fell in love with the characters and will read more by this author. Although I do kinda associate him with Van Hauten, now. But I know that's just transference or whatever the proper word is.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RBTQEZP03NO5T?ASIN=014242417X	A must YA novel	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">As a former HS teacher,  I recommend this novel for its authentic voice of a teen faced with  a ""not if but when"" health prognosis.  Readers will finish the book with a rich understanding of the complex emotions adolescents experience living with serious illness.  Yet the book is also a delightful read because of these teens sardonic ""take"" on their lives.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1VGJTFP70KK3D?ASIN=014242417X	LOVE!!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I love this book so much. I have read it 9 times and seen the movie at least 10. It is such a sweet story proving that you don't have to be older to find a love that is real. I love that it's a book about cancer patients without solely focusing on how sick they are. It shows that sick people are just people like everyone else. Their feelings are the same.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1312WQ2XQRX64?ASIN=014242417X	Honestly written	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Really Gus' story, told through Hazel's eyes, is more than just ""another cancer story,"" The Fault in Our Stars"" is honestly written - the good, the bad, and the ugly truth. I'd recommend this book to anyone who has the strength to live in the moment and stomach the bleakness that truly line a young cancer's patients dwindling days. Now, I must read AIA...</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">If I had known this book was about teen agers I wouldn't have picked it up. What a shame that would have been--It is a GREAT book. Sad but a lot of truth in it I'm sure. It's about two spunky kids who each lives with a terrible disease that they won't allow to run their lives. It is an ode to the  youthful spirit  that overcomes the challenges  they face.</span>"

It is a beautiful love story as well as a heart wrecking. I read it a second time after I saw the movie, and yes, of course I cried. all the time. I'm such a softie but I fangirl over this story. Go buy this book and learn so much about living and dying and so much more.<br/> Love, a german nerdfighter.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3TORMSVH34N57?ASIN=014242417X	Awesome. Epic. Great. Wondrous.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is just plain great. It shows what may really go through a cancer victim's mind, and it isn't just ""any old cancer book"" where the main character ""starts a charity and fights bravely"". This book is filled with emotion and suspense, and it literally made my emotions rise and fall with the plot. Simply amazing, and I hope for more books like this.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3IHGYC3HWZRGA?ASIN=014242417X	John Green is an amazing writer!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is the first John Green book that I've read, and I absolutely loved it.  I knew there was a movie out, but didn't know it was based on a book; I found out through a Facebook group that I am a part of, and am very glad that I did!  This book is great, I cried, I laughed, and there were things I didn't expect to happen.  Definitely recommend this read!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1SFH509P8YILF?ASIN=014242417X	Great book.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">My 13 year old daughter wanted this book, and read it cover to cover very quickly.  With the movie out, I decided to read it as well.<br/><br/>This was an extremely well written, inspiring and eye-opening novel.  It highlights subjects that many of us are fortunate enough to never have to consider.<br/><br/>I very glad my daughter introduced it to me.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1Y0GJW9YT25WD?ASIN=014242417X	Lovely	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I knew when I began reading this book that it would be sad, so I was prepared for it. What I didn't know was how much I would end up liking it. While it's a mostly sad story it reminds me of how beautiful life is and to cherish it. The characters were witty and funny. The story itself didn't play out as I expected but that made it better. Good quick read.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1K7MRE8F4ZGK2?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I could not put this book down! I laughed, I cried, and through it all, I kept right on reading. Just like Hazel felt about her endless novel, so do I feel about this one! What happened to Hazel? How much longer did she live? What about Isaac? And Van Houten? Unlike Hazel, I do not want a sequel, just an update on their lives, fictional characters or not.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RM3N1PVDGG4CJ?ASIN=014242417X	My pillow is drenched.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">OMG! This book is awesome. My stepdaughter said it annoyed her the way Gus and Hazel talked to each other but I thought it was smart and funny. I loved the relationships between all three kids.  I loved the relationships between the kids and the parents. I ""literally"" loved everything about this book.  I laughed as often as I cried.  Best love story ever!</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1119X1OKFS1RQ?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book brought me on an emotional rollercoaster. First, I'm falling in love, the next I'm distressed, and then I am crying and falling in love again. John Green is a genius. He played with my heart and my emotions. The Fault in Our Stars was very well written book and had well thought of characters. Though the story may be ""fiction"", it felt very real.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2EA8BVBXUY77?ASIN=014242417X	She loved it!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">My teen daughter requested and read this book in a flash!  I asked her how she liked it and she gave it high marks!<br/><br/>She is not a big reader so I give it high marks too!  My goal is to get my kids reading without my having to put a book in their hands.  She requested this one and flew right through it and then told me about the book!  Good deal!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RFSLSUZRID97B?ASIN=014242417X	wonderfully heart wrenching	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is definitely one I would recommend to anyone and everyone. John Green's way to beautifully tug at his readers' heart strings is wonderful. I felt truly connected to Hazel and Augustus, like they were real people and part of my life. I'm sad the book had to end, but I can't wait to share it with others and read it again down the line. Wonderful!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3386HR2DZIZFS?ASIN=014242417X	Amazingly written and encouraging.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">John Green had made a fictional story real. He took fake characters and he made them real by giving them a life that most authors cannot accomplish. He took a real world story, and he made every event unforgettable. I will never forget John Green`s work. And I hope you will not forget his work either. He turned stars into constellations. He left his scar.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3OLVZF959TI92?ASIN=014242417X	Hurt so good	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">One of my all time favorite books.  It was the ugly cry to end all ugly cries but it was worth every single tear.  I rarely reread books but I had to read this one again immediately after finishing because I couldn't let go of the characters.  It hit close to home for me which made it all the more sweet, funny and gut wrenching.  Loved this book so much!</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R36YEXKOO5OWJT?ASIN=014242417X	great depiction	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">although the author is clear from the beginning that this is a fictional story, the experiences of Hazel Grace are so realistic. i am also living with a terminal illness (much like cancer) and it felt like someone was finally ""getting"" the way I feel on a daily basis. The book is a great read and will have you thinking long after you put it down.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2NMR8UNQ3X681?ASIN=014242417X	Greay YA Read!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Easy to read YA Novel. The characters are easy to get involved with. The writing is easy to get into right from the start. The topic of illness at this age is challenging, but dealt with so realistically in this novel that you feel like you are right there with them learning to accept their fate in the young adult world John Green has created. Well done!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R74TSGKCV6LS6?ASIN=014242417X	Amazement.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read. And I read a lot.  But the fault in Our Stars, is the best book I have ever read.  However, this is not a book for young children.  This is more for middle school students.  If you are in middle school or older, than you really should read this book. This book has a good ending, but not what I expected. You will be glad you've read it, I promise.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RWO81EUWMY0LO?ASIN=014242417X	Wow	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The book was not exactly what I was expecting, I found I really liked the story as told rather than what I was expecting though. The characters were great, very easy to like them and jump into the story. A good read....get the tissues out! Only problem I had was with some of the language...so not necessary to this story and why I rated 4 and not 5 stars.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RQ0E6IKNFFR4W?ASIN=014242417X	Good read, enjoyable.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was predictable but I enjoyed the journey of reading about the lives of these teenagers.  I did have to stretch my beliefs a bit, but other than that it was a decent, quick, read.  Someone else mentioned that they didn't think that these kids were 'nornal' teens but I don't believe that kids facing their own mortality think like 'normal' teens.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R94PPBWFR3NEW?ASIN=014242417X	Best book I've ever read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Thus book is the bes, most saddest book that i have ever read in my entire life. And ive read a lot if book. The heartbreaking end is just amazing. If there were oscars for books (i get get there is a few) but if it was television she would win every single one. This is a book written from the heart. Most times you don't see it. This author is brilliant.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R6XY8BIYUE8LB?ASIN=014242417X	Delightfully witty!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was recommended to me by a young adult who is an avid reader. I was not sure if this was going to be another teen novel,but I was hooked after the first few pages. The wit, sarcasm and charm were not your typical young adult read. It was thought provoking from a mother!s aspect of a teenager myself. Looking forward to reading more of his books.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RLEOWPKWCHND8?ASIN=014242417X	One of the best books I have ever read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I absolutely loved this book! It had me engaged until the very end. The characters were beautifully developed and the story warmed my heart. After finishing the book I cried (lets be honest I bawled) for at least an hour, which doesn't happen too often to me when reading books. This is by far my favorite book and I highly recommend everyone to read this!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3OABLN1HAB8I8?ASIN=014242417X	Great Read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I really enjoyed this book. It made you feel a range of emotions throughout this book. At times I wanted to laugh, cry, and be mad. It really is a moving story of young love and sickness therefore it is sad but it is definitely worth reading. Since they are making this into a movie I would definitely recommend reading the book before watching the movie!!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RKAKA3KK5D756?ASIN=014242417X	Heart wrenching	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">It was amazing from beginning to end. So real with a deep understanding of people and dealing with pain. I wished for more in the ending but I also realize the ending was no fairy tale. It was exactly how things happen in reality and it made the novel something we could all relate to because everyone deals with pain and heartache sometime in their lives.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3LAKQDRDBIYFM?ASIN=014242417X	If I could give it 10 stars I would	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Wow.<br/><br/>This is the kind of book that you start to read and end up spending your day in it.<br/><br/>It doesn't need a lengthy review, just know that this book will plant a smile on your face and make tears flow at the same time.<br/><br/>Definitely added to the top 10 list of my favorite can't stop reading and will cry when it is over books.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2I9QVZRO8B7BN?ASIN=014242417X	wonderful	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">While this is categorized as YA, it is fitting for anyone over the age of 15. (There is some mature content not suitable for younger children. Parents should read first before giving it to younger kids.)<br/>It's a quick read that I couldn't put down and was disappointed when it ended. It's definitely worth picking up if you're looking for a good read.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3P8UECIUMS5QP?ASIN=014242417X	Surprisingly great read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I did not expect to enjoy this book due to all of the recent fandom and blockbuster nature of the trailers leading up to this book being made a movie. However; this book was a complete joy to read. Full of epic outlooks on life, human nature, and the inevitability of our own wandering and perennial consciousness this is a book that everyone should read.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RFFV91AI0V5O6?ASIN=014242417X	Grab the Kleenex!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Beautiful story.  The ending was kind of a let down.  I don't know what I was expecting, but I feel like I was left hanging.  If you think about it though and analyze the story, that might be exactly the way it was supposed to feel.  At least we weren't left mid sentence like the book within the book.  This made me want to read John Green's other books.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RYOJKV21LHV68?ASIN=014242417X	Beautiful.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">They were brilliant, they were sarcastic, and they were utterly perfect for each other.  They found their place, their sense of belonging, in one another without losing themselves or anyone else who cares for them.  That, in short, is true love.  While I know this was a fictional account, I just cannot see the universe the same way, possibly ever again.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2CKLTOA0YASAU?ASIN=014242417X	not bad for a beginner..	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">John Green is an interesting writer with an interesting story here... Other than being a tree hugging liberal and occasionally atheist, I enjoyed this attempt of his and wish I could do any better! Sometimes he falls in love with a word and uses it over and over in Rapid succession. But, for a book meant for female audiences, I found myself enjoying it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1KXZOLHU99SIF?ASIN=014242417X	beautiful and very sad	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I didn't realize what a short book this was when I started it yesterday. I actually knew nothing about it, but that it showed up as a recommended title on my amazon account. The story of Hazel and Gus is sad and wonderful at the same time. Having lost a father and mother-in-law just this winter, this book caused me to revisit many emotions and memories.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R332ZCY472DLTY?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault In Our Stars Audio CD Read by Kate Rudd	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I listened to the audio CD read by Kate Rudd.  She did an excellent, excellent job reading this novel!  I would definitely want to listen to another novel read by her!  I would not recommend this book for young teens, or anyone who is trying to deal with cancer.  Sadly, the story and the characters do not have much faith in God.  I am a cancer survivor.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R36AN3W8NZP4FR?ASIN=014242417X	Run, Do Not Walk	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I normally stay away from books which have been appreciated by the masses, until something extradinary (a respected review) catches my eye and then I will give it a try.  This was so thoughtprovoking and beautifully written!  It was funny, smart, philosophical, original and sad, but it was NOT just sad.  I WOULD DEFINITELY CONSIDER THIS A CLASSIC TO BE.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R23H81YU71UQTI?ASIN=014242417X	Worth the Buy! Couldn't Put It Down!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was so heat-warming! I couldn't put it down! The love story of Augustus and Hazel was lovely. I am the type of person who doesn't cry when I read a book, but this book brought me to tears! But it isn't just sad. The minute I started crying something hilarious happened! You can't go wrong with The Fault in Our Stars! Totally worth the purchase!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2PEUV7Z52MTPU?ASIN=014242417X	One of the best love stories ever	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I love this book! I really felt like Hazel in a way though a) I don't have cancer and b) I don't have a Gus-like boyfriend. I felt like her because we both have the same mind- I'm sure that when I fall in love it'll be just like Hazel. KEEP FIGHTING HAZEL!( yes I know it's fictional- but does anyone else get attached to their fave book characters??????)</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1K610JRYZ6SD2?ASIN=014242417X	Shakespeare would be green with envy.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Here we have Holden and Helen Caulfield on chemo--an adolescent novel for adults.  Phoniness is not their enemy because there is nothing phony about cancer.  Their story cuts to the bone because it cuts to the cancer cells which are thriving at the cost of killing their hosts.  If Shakespeare were a 21st century writer, he would envy John Green's novel.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R23U8XWF71QO8?ASIN=014242417X	Praise Deserved	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Lately, TFIOS has been getting a lot of praise. And it 100% deserves it. It leaves an impression, and has been keeping me thinking about it for the last few days. You will not want to stop reading, ever. Like so many of the great books on the market, we as readers don't want books to end so we can continue to explore the characters' lives. A great read.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RXWZ1CIK9EHLF?ASIN=014242417X	Lived up to the hype	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was defiantly one I was skeptical about.  However after just a few pages I knew it was going to live up to the hype.  I had a hard time putting this book down and found myself constantly trying to keep reading to find out what would happen next.  You can't help but fall in love with the characters and feeling for them.  Definitely a must read!</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3CHVAL9I2UC93?ASIN=014242417X	Very Pleased	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault In Our Stars was an extremely moving book about love and the pain of cancer and the  loss of a loved one. It represented how life can change in an instant. TFIOS can bring any reader close to tears. I am very pleased with this book, hope to read more from the outstanding author John Green, and plan on seeing The Fault In Our Stars in theaters.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1YB9V52J6A70X?ASIN=014242417X	Fantastically written!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">SEMI SPOILER ALERT: Although I anticipated the outcome if this novel, I still imagined it differently. Nonetheless, this book was beautifully written and the hype that led me to reading this was well worth it. I can see myself reading the rest of John Green's works. However, I'll need to recover from my hysterical crying fit for a while. READ THIS BOOK!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2FY8CQKGK8V71?ASIN=014242417X	Wow	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">To say that this was simply a book is an understatement....this book.is an amazing piece of literature. Hazel Grace is one hell.of.a heroine....this book will leave an imprint. And to.say that we are all side.effects of dying...does not do this book justice. If only to be so lucky as to have a fault in our stars as these  two faults in their own stars.</span>"

The first time I read it it was amazing. I must say this, this book has become my AIA  book if you haven't read it read it then you'll know what I mean. I'm a sucky writer.

I won't go into details other than story about 2 teens that are ill and fall in love with each other and essentially make each others lives fuller.  I read the book before movie came out and thought they did a really good job on the movie.  There are more details in the book of course. It was a good read.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RRYAXPSS5KRWT?ASIN=014242417X	Unexpected and delightful on many levels.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Within the first few pages I found myself literally laughing out loud. I was surprised by the humour, candour, and depth that showed up immediately in the story. It wasn’t the book I thought it was and I found myself encouraged and pushed to think about things I rarely think about.<br/>I read the whole book in one afternoon – it begged to be finished.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1HT66WH4XXRWT?ASIN=014242417X	has been on the best seller list for so long	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">There is a reason that ""The fault in our stars"", has been on the best seller list for so long. It's a poignant, heart warming story that is sadly not just a story to the youth that must cope with a disease that was manifested by no fault of their own. Beautifully written with a delicate and moving story line that compliments the subject matter.</span>"

Before this book I though reading was a drag. Now reading is amazing. I can't wait to see the movie!! I've been going through a lot lately. I moved across country. This book really made me happy. If your bored, want to get your mind of things this will really work. Trust me. Cancer sucks!</span>"

It's very bittersweet and pulls you in to the story.  One really feels like he or she knows the characters personally.  I really liked this book.  One thing that stands out in this book that I really liked is that the parents of the main characters are portrayed realistically and respectfully, and not as clueless parents.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2HV51EXTDUVP5?ASIN=014242417X	More than I hoped for...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read this book after all of the hype surfaced upon the release of the movie.  I'm glad I've read the book first. As someone dear to me has cancer, this book touches in many ways the thoughts we all think but are too PC to say. This just makes me want to go home and hug my dad. Thank you to the author for writing such a beautiful work of literary art.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3GWEK8E8E7GEM?ASIN=014242417X	wow!!!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is a beautiful love story about two cancer kids who fall deeply in love, with out really knowing it. I really had to force myself to put this book down. John Green you are an excellent writer, and this book really can change ones perspective on cancer kids. I hope this book changes others view on kids with a disease. I know it did to me! Thank you</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2BR3SJ3JL7RTJ?ASIN=014242417X	good story, easy read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">It is advertised as a love story, which it is.  The underlying tone though is about a young person dying of cancer and how the person and the family chooses to deal with it.  I did like it, the story drew you in because of the witty and determined attitude of the characters.  Make sure you have tissue close, some of it will have you holding back tears.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R33KWDSM8ZKUQ3?ASIN=014242417X	Awesome Book!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I've heard a lot about TFiOS from my peers (both online and offline), and thought of reading it. Right after my finals, I bought this, and my high expectations were not only met, but surpassed. Green's gift with words lends itself to a delightful read, and I've already read it twice over (in one week!). Can't wait to work through the rest of his works.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RQLVQTM16PHYX?ASIN=014242417X	Moving and inspirational	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is none of the few books that shows the meaning of true love but not how we are use to it. We are use to happily ever after but that doesn't happen all the time in most cases. This book tells a great story. It will truly show what life is like to a person who has cancer or is a survivor. I would love if everyone read this book. It's the best.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R17ZZSF5QJUE1X?ASIN=014242417X	Real.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I loved that this wasn't just another sad cancer novel. Not that I've read a ton of their, but still. The humor between the characters and the way they thought of themselves as victims of life, and not just cancer was just very.... Hazel. I wish I were a Hazel.<br/><br/>Definitely a must read for anyone who enjoys a little laugh with their heartache.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1QRMJC17QEF3V?ASIN=014242417X	Made my heart dance	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I gave this book five stars because it made me cry, it made me laugh and it made my heart dance. I thought Hazel and Augustus as my friends while I read and lived their story until the end. There isn't anyone quite like them in my own small world which makes me a bit sad.<br/><br/>A beautiful, witty, funny and absolutely wonderful book!<br/><br/>JM</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RDUX916DCFI8O?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing and Emotional	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is an amazing story. I immediately fell in love with Hazel and Gus. They are funny, snarky, smart, and powerful characters. The dialogue between them was entertaining. I enjoyed the story so much that I finished it in one day.<br/> Now, I don't want to give any spoilers so I will just finish by saying that it is an emotional book and a MUST read.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2CZI0ZE7GUGRN?ASIN=014242417X	This Novel Won't Go Out	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">At first I was quite skeptical about reading this, but in the end I decided to go in with an open mind and heart. This novel has become a piece of me. John Green writes with a poetic grace. I laughed numerous times, felt genuine fear, and inevitably cried. Whatever you do, do not pass up the chance to learn and feel everything that this story contains.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R37BEDUGOHEE2L?ASIN=014242417X	Very sad....	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This was a good book... but a little slow. a story of teenagers living with cancer. I felt it was a true portrayal of how they really felt. It is a simple love story as well. I just felt it was a little slow in places. It makes you feel great empathy for the children that live with cancer. I think it would be a good read for teenagers and adults alike.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1VIZSOEBYHBH4?ASIN=014242417X	Romantic and sad love story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This story is very sad at the end. It makes the readers have many emotions. Right now I am feeling like hazel was feeling about AIA. What happens next? What does hazel think about the letters? What happens to isaac? What happens to Peter and his old assistant? I will read this book over and over again.<br/><br/>Also....<br/><br/>LONG LIVE AUGUSTUS!</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1NBL1N6I22STW?ASIN=014242417X	Brilliant	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book makes you laugh, and cry in the best ways possible, it's not only a love story but a story that makes you see life in a new way... A wonderful an beautiful way! This story is also so real, non of that fairy tail crap that you yearn for, but know that your never going to obtain. This is the reality of life, there are flaws in beautiful things.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1FRGE8I8OU39Z?ASIN=014242417X	Life changing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This amazing book has changed my outlook on life in so many ways, and I am so grateful that I was able to read it. It was filled with comedy, suspense, and sadness. I usually don't cry when reading books, but after reading this, I sobbed for a good 30 minutes. This book is so beautifully written and so heart-wrenching. It will stay in my heart forever.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1IK757QJU692O?ASIN=014242417X	Love it!!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I finally got the chance to read this book and didn't stop reading it for 6 hours straight. Yes it only took me six hours to read this book and it probably is one of my all time favorite book. It made me cry. And that is saying something. This is an excellent book to read for fun and if you get the chance to read it... GO FOR IT!!! You won't regret it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R26Q0BNFQAPLN2?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in Our Stars Can Become The Fault in My Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars is a five star book because of how John Green explained how cancer is not a battle. But something else, I unfortunately could not conclude. This was not your action packed book present day people like, but a romantic, amazing novel written by a talented author. Though this makes me wonder, what happens to Hazel and everyone else?</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2V6SSLPG67D69?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Fault in Our Stars was such a sweet but sad book. I probably shouldn't give away the ending but it was just a touching way to end a beautiful novel. This is one of the few teen fiction novels out there that love in an unique way. High school love is one thing but when people so young have experienced so much in life, it sets an entirely different tone.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2GGKBLV12TS7C?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing Book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I wasn't expecting much from this book, everyone told me to have tissues around by the end. But once I started, I couldn't stop. I read in the hallways on my way to class, almost running into three poles from not looking up, irritated my best friend, and shed a few tears in class once I did reach the end. If recommend this book to anyone, it's amazing.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Its amazing because it makes me want to continue a discussion about fear, courage and cowardice and what it truly means. but i cant understand why Waters loves Hazel so much. It doesnt make sense to me.<br/>This is not much more than an ordinary love story. But it felt it was one sided and not very genuine. Dying while you're in love made it special.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1S0O9B37WXTAP?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in Our Stars..	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars is an excellent book. I have read it about two-three times. I love how the plot is about two cancer patients. ( not trying to sound heartless) it's just nowadays all their is, is your stereotypical,predictable romance novel. IT GETS OLD. You don't expect it to be about reality situations, and that's why I love this book so much.</span>"

As soon as I started reading it I couldn't stop and for someone who rarely reads that is saying a lot. I loved that this book it kept me hooked and that it made me feel both happy and sad for the characters at the same time. I highly recommend this book to others.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1YCOTM8OQHMBE?ASIN=014242417X	truly moving!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Initially I had to think about whether to read a book that was likely to make me sad. But I love a good book and since the reviews were great, I took a chance that my enjoyment of it would overrule my fear. And it did. The book makes you think about what's really important versus what's superficial.  It's a book about true love. I'm so glad I read it,</span>"

True love can be found in the most unlikely of places and although it may be fleeting, it will forever leave its mark on the heart. This book made me laugh and cry and want to spend everyday appreciating my health and the health of my loved ones. I will alway remember to notice the universe.</span>"

Even the most callous of people will feel the tugging on their cold hard heartstrings while reading this novel.  Thank you John Green for the laughter and the tears and above all the remainder that it's okay to smile in the face of death even when you're scared of what comes next. It's a good life.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3HBXIGI795FQ4?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault In Our Stars by John Green	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">4 Star rating. I don't get into wine drinking and cursing. I was enlightened about cancer victims. I was able to see the pain &amp; sorrow diseases bring to families and loved ones. And even true love happens during the trials. I also was able to see Hazel have the will to move forward after such a tragedy. Thinking she was the only one being the grenade.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I had just read Heaven is For Real, which was also very good, and saw  The Fault in Our Stars and thought this sounds interesting so I pick it up.  From the very beginning the book had me.  It deals with so many interesting players.  It was a tear jerker and I learned a little bit more how people deal with their sickness.  I know I will read it again.</span>"

I was so impressed with the book that when it came time to replace one of the novels in our Modern Literature curriculum (I'm a high school English teacher in the Chicago Suburbs), I chose The Fault in Our Stars immediately.  It's THAT good.  I've read most of Green's books, and this one is the best of the bunch.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1Z8HMSJTUMKRK?ASIN=014242417X	The best book I have read in a long time	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I feel like this is how people in their condition actually feel and not just how cancer patients feel but people who fall in love. there were times I wanted to punch some guys in the face because the author actually connects you to the characters. you feel what they feel, their pain, heartbreak, love. just be prepared to laugh and cry at the same time</span>"

While the movie is good, and follows the story line well, I think the book is so much better.  John Green captures the teenage voice and sense of humor beautifully.  My daughter's school assigned this book for summer reading for 9th grade English, so the whole family has read the book and seen the movie.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I loved both these kids....I love how smart they are...and their conversations were so interesting and entertaining.  I enjoyed their senses of humor despite what they were going through.  I have not seen the movie though I probably will since I live so close to Pittsburgh.  But I am usually disappointed by the movie when I enjoy a book so thoroughly.</span>"

A lot of reflection on death from the author's point of view and that's  about it. The language was good, but I don't think the book was as good as the ones I read before.. Don't think I would spend the  money to see the movie in a theater. I would wait for the video come out.</span>"

Hazel is so inspiring I love as much as Augustus does. I would highly recommend this book to anyone that can appreciate love, this book isn't not about a girl living with cancer, it's about a girl falling in love with an amazing boy full of metaphors and wonder, and living while they can.</span>"

The book is so cleverly written to let you imagine how it must feel to live with and around terminal cancers at the same time it is a fabulous and tender love story.  It ended too soon in the sense I needed more time with the heroine and her last days.  Great read!</span>"

It's not just a fad that everyone reads, it's a brilliant story that gives you a new perspective on life.</span>"

I am 33, male and I have end stage renal failure but I can't never possibly understand what it's like to have cancer or be a teenage girl. I read frustration, doubt and hope that I could relate to, not just as a patient but as a person. I believe we are all connected and this book can remind others of that connection.</span>"

As an older reader (plus 40), I was a tad skeptical about the young characters, but as the story unfolded I was drawn in to both their young lives.  I read this before I knew a movie was being made from it, so now I am looking forward to seeing the characters on the big screen.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R20NTII9WG96E9?ASIN=014242417X	Wow	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book definitely deserves five stars. It is emotional in a way that had me crying many times throughout the book. This isn't your normal love story.

I am so happy I did.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I had a hard time putting this book down, and since I read it before watching the movie, I was surprised towards the end of the book at how things played out.

It takes a lot of rational thinking to get through the book , but it was honestly the best book I've read in awhile.

Beautifully written, the way the author shaped the characters into intellectual human beings instead of typical air head teens but still kept them age appropriate was genius. I held it together until the last two chapters. I wish there was more. I feel like hazel Grace can do so much more.</span>"

Also, I can't imagine any 16yo talking to their crush within earshot of her mother the way Hazel does on the airplane. The whole passage in Amsterdam was unbelievable. The characters just didn't seem very real or believable to me. At a couple of points I almost quit reading it.</span>"

After two months, I was at the top of the waiting list. It was worth the wait.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The book clutches at your emotions and hangs them out to dry as we follow the protagonists in their struggles to have a life in the face of their imminent deaths. I had to keep putting it down to compose myself before I could continue. Not normally a big fan of tearjerkers, I nevertheless was caught up in cheering them on. Definetely worth the read.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I have enjoyed John Green in all of his many projects on YouTube. He definitely bring his sense of humor and intelligence  through his writing as well. He takes you through every emotion in this book and hits a soft spot within anyone who has loved someone with medical problems or been the one with those problems.

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2NOKAQWGL6NGH?ASIN=014242417X	Best novel I've ever read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars, is among the best novels I have ever read in my entire existence. And believe me that number is beyond counting. It takes you deep into it's clutches and doesn't release you until you've finished. I'd like to give WAY more than five stars for this captivating book, and it's unique and wonderfully brilliant author, John Green.</span>"

It was difficult to finish because it made me so sad and cried thru the last few chapters.  I also learned a little about cancer and a lot about their love for each other.  The love made the illness  a little easier to bear.  I'm a push over for love stories.  I won't forget this book.  Drema Carol</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RY4X2N86DGK9?ASIN=014242417X	Very Emotional	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars was  an emotional downer.  That being said, the author did an excellent job of putting into words his opinion of how the dying view life and death.  I read it because it was recommended.  Even with all the love shown by the characters, I found this book to be extremely depressing and probably wouldn't recommend it for reading.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RHN3UUKAAGBZ0?ASIN=014242417X	Great Book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I've rated this book five stars, and I honestly feel this book deserves more than even that. It was sad at times and funny at others. I cried so much reading this book it's ridiculous. This book has changed the way I see the world, and I would tell my friends to read this book. I genuinely feel as if this book has something in store for everyone. :)</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2C5B5WAHK5KKR?ASIN=014242417X	I love it!!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is with more than 5 stars. It has everything; humor, romance, deep understandings of life's unanswerable questions, and, yes, even death. I love how even though they have cancer, they find humor in, it which kind of lightens the mood a little. I can't even describe how much this book changed my outlook on life. And it's all for the better.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I am familiar with the author's style, so there were moments when it was like I could hear him talking and it pulled me out of the story. But really the line of thought, the beauty in the image was very real to me, he portrayed it all beautifully. I did enjoy this book, much more than I had thought that I would. I may reread it a few more times yet.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1UY8EDHV1KYHE?ASIN=014242417X	In the end...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Books are like plays.  Some audiences clap loudly: some don't make it to intermission while others make it to the end and wonder why they sat through the whole thing.  This one was well written, originally written, but depressing to the max.  I am not sure who the audience should be, but I felt I had entered the wrong theater.  I made it to the end.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1OZVAK13U9W01?ASIN=014242417X	Wow	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I didn't know much about this book, nor heard much about it besides seeing the movie posters. But now, as I just finished it, can say that it had a palpable affect on me. Wow. John Green has a way of writing that is so deep and thought provoking that it surprised me. I want to read this again, and that should say justhow good of a book it really is.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R33O2WUPCPN80T?ASIN=014242417X	A quaint, somewhat trite story with a twist	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This was a decent read. I found the plot to be a little trite and treacly and didn't necessarily become immersed in the characters. Cancer is terrible. What these children endure is terrible. But that doesn't stand in place of good writing. As with so many middle of the road novels, it started out strong, but the writing suffered from the middle on.</span>"

To some degree I was wrong; 1. I couldn't stop reading it. 2. Yes it was a simple read, but once in a while I caught myself thinking about how true  certain points of the book was to real life life. Thanks to the book/its author.</span>"

I highlighted more passages in this book than I have in any book I have ever read.  Great book by a guy I really enjoy watching in his separate, but equally entertaining context.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was so well crafted and so witty that the reader was immediately invested in the characters.  It is rare that I find a book that I will finish in sitting let alone think about for days after I've finished reading it.  I don't want to give any spoilers away, but I think this book should be considered one of the best modern YA books written.</span>"

I haven't seen the movie yet, but I hope it lives up to my expectation! I loved the twists and turns that this book did to my emotions. I did think though, that vocabulary that these kids used was a little extensive for their age, but other than that, I would reccomend this book.</span>"

It is so raw, so honest, so tragic (but uplifting) and so perspective-changing, all at once.  I quickly realized that it was becoming (and did in fact become) a non-stop, cover-to-cover read (which I unfortunately started very late at night).  HIGHLY recommend.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1CKFOLVF0ZR4B?ASIN=014242417X	"Just wasn't the ""amazing"" book I hoped it would be"	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Please don’t bring out the torches and pitchforks but… I totally didn’t like The Fault In Our Stars as much as I had hoped. For everything I had heard about it, the rave reviews, everyone who was touched by it, I feel like there were so many things that I just found not to like about it.<br/><br/>First and foremost, I borrowed this from the library as an audiobook. To be fair, I probably shouldn’t have listened to the book and I should have actually read the book. I really didn’t like the narrator, Kate Rudd (actually hated at the beginning). Her voice was just fine, but it was a little too exact in pronunciation so I felt like I was listening to a motivational tape or something. I also really didn’t like her voices for Augustus or Isaac at all. Isaac was a really whiny voice and Augustus just sounded kind of dopey. Also, all of the “okay” sequences between Hazel and Augustus sounded so stiff and not emotional at all and always with the same exact inflection. I just really didn’t think she did a good job.<br/><br/>Looking past the narration, there were also quite a few things that bothered me. I felt like John Green had big word-itis in this book. Has anyone ever seen that episode of Friends where Joey uses the thesaurus to write an adoption recommendation letter for Monica &amp; Chandler? That’s how I felt about the choice of words in this book. Now, now, I know Hazel is supposed to be “not-your-ordinary-16-year-old-girl”. She doesn’t have the social life to pick up the common teenage “OMG” aspect, but still. She’s 16. I just didn’t relate to the fact that she (and Augustus too) seemed to have a vastly larger vocabulary than any of their peers, and even the adults in this book were dumbed down by their knowledge as well as their struggle with their respective cancers. I just really felt like the writing was a bit — dare I say — pretentious. I really just didn’t care for a lot of it, actually.<br/><br/>I really didn’t enjoy the trip to Amsterdam much either. The whole thing just felt unnecessary and that the whole thing could have taken place in the US.  I know, I know, there were obvious reasons for it but I totally wasn’t digging it.<br/><br/>And don’t get me wrong, it has nothing to do with the fact that it was a sadder or more serious story than I normally read. I quite enjoy the serious turn on quite a few books, but I don’t know… I just never really got into it. And also has nothing to do with cancer as the main focus – Please – Lurleen McDaniels books were my bread and butter as an adolescent. I just never made a real connection with the characters.<br/><br/>I think I complained a bit too much in this review… But I actually was bothered by quite a bit. That being said, I did cry. I sobbed at the ultimate sobbing point of the book and totally could not help it! And I did end up enjoying quite a bit of the book. I was just let down quite a bit since everyone was giving it 4.5 or 5 stars reviews. I disappointed myself by expecting too much!</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read this because my niece wanted to share the book with me (she's 14; she also WILL NOT read the Harry Potter series because she can't get into it -- which I totally get because I could never finish Lord of the Rings series).  In my opinion, what could have been an eloquent book, becomes turgid and mawkish.  So, I've ordered Love Story for her (my generation's cancer book) -- it's only maudlin.  I expect to pilloried for my review, so pillory away....</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3988ALL9P6RU9?ASIN=014242417X	Beautiful	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I had heard about this book mainly through the millions of quotes floating around on Tumblr. My sister in law had read it and told me about it so when I was going on a mini vacation, I decided to finally buy it and read it. I finished it on my first day of vacation, and unfortunately, I was in a coffee shop. I knew that it was a tear jerker but I had no idea of the magnitude. The story is incredibly well written and at times made me laugh out loud or sob openly. When it is sad, boy is it sad. Since I was reading it in public, I was trying my best not to cry and I ended up having to stop reading it for a few minutes to compose myself. I've read it several times since and each time it rips my heart out like its the first time I read it. Yes, it is a sad book but it is such a beautiful and funny story that it is worth the heartache to read it.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2UEG7AYCP2Y1S?ASIN=014242417X	A fragile young love blossoms between two cancer survivors	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">(4.5 stars) This is the story of two teenagers, both with cancer. Hazel is in remission after being treated with a new ""miracle"" drug; however, given the damage to her lungs, she knows her time is limited. She meets Augustus, a survivor of osteosarcoma when he attends her support group meeting with his friend who is about to lose his eyesight. The story shows how their friendship and relationship grow, contrasted with the relationships of both family and friends. Hazel introduces Augustus to her favorite book, and both are intrigued on how the author left the story on an abrupt note. Both wish to know what happened to the characters. While Hazel has written repeatedly to the author with no response, Augustus manages to make contact. Augustus uses his ""wish"" to take them to Amsterdam to meet him. Things become more complicated as life intervenes and their trip takes some unexpected turns. While the events in the book are not entirely unexpected, the author does a wonderful job of bringing a depth and feeling to a difficult situation.</span>"

I just didn't think it was as fabulous as many others did.  It's a nice story, now apparently a great movie.  I don't like when a book gets over hyped, and sadly, I feel this is another one that fell into this same trap.  For young adults,  it is definitely a book worth reading.  However, for older adults, read Me Before You by Jojo Moyes instead.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">It strikes this reviewer as both a sad fact and injustice that when it comes to opinions on The Fault in Our Stars and John Green’s books in general there are only two types of opinions — the ones so starry-eyed and obnoxious that they serve to undermine the credibility of the book and the ones that like to criticize it for everything it isn’t doing (and doesn’t want to).<br/><br/>And so, I’ve decided that it is time to open up a safe space for those that want to critically think about it for everything it does do without allowing their personal feelings about how smexy Augustus Waters is or isn’t to enter the picture.<br/><br/>Before I dive into this review, I think I should warn that some of the opinions offered come from the unique perspective of a person that was a full-time patient for 13 years and is now semi-professional about it.  I am disabled and at times I worry that influences my critical abilities with this book.  I may turn combative.  (Feel free to argue with me or share your own feelings in the comments below.)<br/><br/>The Plot<br/><br/>TFIOS tells the story of Hazel Lancaster, a teen suffering from chronic but slow to win lung cancer.  It depicts her relationships with friends, parents, attempts to deal with cancer and the unfairness of life, her philosophical wanderings concerning life, death, loss, and illness, and, of course, her relationship with Augustus Waters (stop swooning), a boy who has also suffered from cancer.<br/><br/>If the multiple references to Shakespeare didn’t clue you in, the plot is what almost anyone without an amputee fetish would call cliché.  Oh oh, it is time for an EMC literary criticism question sidebar!<br/><br/>Is there some sort of secret, published writer’s club rule that if you’re going to be cliché you must reference Shakespeare that way everyone in the literary criticism world is clued into the fact you are choosing an overdone convention so as to not be in danger of overshadowing your philosophical and political ideas with a really compelling and unique story?  Are the Shakespeare references like a big, blinky, neon sequins sign that we in the critical reader world should not pay attention to your trite plot?<br/><br/>Glad I got that out of my system.  Somebody tell the secret publish writers club that I’m onto them and that referencing a guy who stole his plots does not in any way make them not thieves too.<br/><br/>Anyway, yes, the plot is predictable.  All the disappointments, conversations, relationship developments, and deaths that occur tend to feel like the slap meant to tame our shrewish desires for a non-conventional plot.  About the time they go abroad  the reader has been so starved and abused that obeying the oppressive patriarchy telling you to stop asking for a plot twist is almost second nature.<br/><br/>The Characters<br/><br/>I’ve heard it said by many that John Green’s characters are unbelievable and are too smart.  I feel as if these people are in some cases ignorant and in many others missed the bloody point while they were trying to appear critical.<br/><br/>So before I can even discuss these particular Greenian protagonists, I think we need to examine these criticisms as if they are legitimate.  Especially since in doing so, I will also reveal why the trite plot only bothers me if I’m being a pretentious hipster and having unrealistic expectations.<br/><br/>So lets look at the unrealistic character of Hazel Grace Lancaster.  Hazel is a young teen who has her G.E.D and attends college several times a week.  We learn within the book that one of these classes is rather apparently some sort of English Literature class specifically dealing in poetry most often.  Hazel’s interests include reading (poetry and the made up book an Imperial Affliction) as well as watching reality tv.  Her usual speaking style is intellectual, witty, and sarcastic.<br/><br/>Now, I can’t imagine these critics have a problem with a teen who watches reality tv, so I naturally assume they don’t like a teen who reads poetry.  Because in case you hadn’t heard, poetry is the stuff of pretentious, pseudo intellectuals.  It is unrealistic to expect a teen would want to read Sylvia Plath and enjoy it.<br/><br/>…<br/><br/>She’s in a class where she is graded on her ability to read poetry.  She’s already depicted as intelligent.  The idea that a young woman enjoying poetry is unrealistic speaks more to the sad state of education and art than it reflects upon an unrealistic character.  The English literature field is filled with people proving that young people enjoying poetry is not unrealistic.  I believe the word these sorts of people were searching for is abnormal.  I won’t even bother to smack them with the argument of why a book does not have to live up to their expectations of normality, especially not a book with cancer patients falling in love that is set on making the argument that normality does not equal correct.<br/><br/>Augustus Waters is more average in comparison to Hazel.  He likes video games that are not so subtly ripping off Call of Duty, reading books set in the world of his video games, and sports.  The only thing besides his speaking style that ever sets him apart is that he has an obsession with metaphor and seems very interested in some philosophical ideas.  I’m not going to redo my point about abnormal not being the same as unrealistic.  A boy faced with death not once but twice who seems to be of a decent intelligence level questioning the universe or liking the idea of metaphors especially when his parents seem to like philosophical tidbits so much is not unrealistic.<br/><br/>Hazel’s and Augustus’ speaking style is much like her interest in poetry.  Not unrealistic, just not normal.  It is also amusing to realize that the same people who scream about the plot being too conventional dislike the unconventional characterization of Hazel and Gus.  They seem to always have a good retort and their way of talking and flirting does not follow the usual, high school style.<br/><br/>I would say that the criticism of this as unrealistic and therefore bad is a sign of our culture’s continued war against smart, but that is a discussion to have elsewhere.  In the case of Hazel and August and all the other characters that appear, I think it is more refreshing to see passionate and intelligent teens than it is story-breaking.  The author is a smart guy writing with the assumption that teens are also smart.<br/><br/>The Style<br/><br/>While the characterization does belong here as well.  I felt that in addressing the over-all style my time would be better spent on the crack that Hazel and Augustus have an unrealistic relationship.<br/><br/>It is here that I must ask why we are so obsessed with having our stories being realistic and if anyone making that claim actually knows anything about the history of realism in literature.  I suspect that if they did, they would know that this particular novel does not ever attempt to or desire to be involved with the literary realism movement.  (As I may have jokingly pointed out when talking about Shakespeare references.)  I’d rather not spoil the book, but there are several factors that make it very clear John Green is not attempting to objectively depict these characters and their lives that a discerning reader will notice right away.<br/><br/>That said, here are some really nice quotes I think capture the general style of the book.<br/><br/>“Sometimes, you read a book and it fills you with this weird evangelical zeal, and you become convinced that the shattered world will never be put back together unless and until all living humans read the book.”  .<br/><br/>“I’m in love with you,” he said quietly.<br/><br/>“Augustus,” I said.<br/><br/>“I am,” he said. He was staring at me, and I could see the corners of his eyes crinkling. “I’m in love with you, and I’m not in the business of denying myself the simple pleasure of saying true things. I’m in love with you, and I know that love is just a shout into the void, and that oblivion is inevitable, and that we’re all doomed and that there will come a day when all our labor has been returned to dust, and I know the sun will swallow the only earth we’ll ever have, and I am in love with you.”<br/><br/>“Without pain, how could we know joy?’ This is an old argument in the field of thinking about suffering and its stupidity and lack of sophistication could be plumbed for centuries but suffice it to say that the existence of broccoli does not, in any way, affect the taste of chocolate.”<br/><br/>Yes, the style of the book does often have an intellectual, snarky, and philosophical tone to it.  A lot of the time it seems John Green is a lot more interested in sharing the philosophical and social ideas of the book than he is in telling you a really fabulous story.  That said, there is nothing about the style which stops it from being enjoyed and I suspect that without this style, the book would ultimately fall into being trite, cliché, and boring.<br/><br/>The Themes<br/><br/>TFIOS concerns itself with many themes, but as the author himself has often noted, one of his big goals was depicting diseased and/or disabled people as having lives that are just as fulfilling and beautiful as their able-bodied counter-parts.<br/><br/>He seems to accomplish this largely through the relationship between Hazel and Gus, and so being the hipster I am, I won’t comment on that except to say I thought it was well-written.  Instead, I would prefer to focus on just how well John Green depicts the life of those suffering from disease.  Unlike the movie, he never pulls the punches of what Hazel can and cannot do.  His depictions of the behavior of doctors especially during a scene with the character of Isaac more or less sums up my experience with more than half of my doctors.  But more than that, he captures the vulnerability and self-esteem issues that come with disability in a way that speaks to both the disabled and the not disabled a very rare treat.<br/><br/>He manages to depict the disabled without ever falling into the holes that TFIOS itself lampoons.<br/><br/>Yet beyond this sort of plodding question, I see Green as tackling the far larger subject of defining a life well lived.  I’ve often made the argument to friends who feel sad for the book that Hazel and Augustus are actually lucky.  While no one has ever agreed with me (I can’t imagine why) I do see Green as intending to raise this question of what it is to have lived well up.<br/><br/>Final Words<br/><br/>I have often said that besides The Hunger Games TFIOS is the best YA novel to come out in likely the past ten years and certainly the best one concerned with romance.  (Feel free to argue in the comments).  I do not say this because I don’t see the flaws of the book but mostly because I think those flaws are negligible in the grand scheme of the book or caused by the intentions of the book.<br/><br/>While I rarely get interested in better representation, I do think that having a book depicting disease in a way that is meant to make it accessible for everyone is at least nice.  The fact that the book deals with some interesting philosophy, doesn’t offer a necessarily happy ending, and also seems self-aware of its failings all make this a book I happily recommend to anyone that wants to see the best Green has to offer.<br/><br/>I would further say on a personal note that I also recommend this book to parents with disabled or diseased children and their children.  It has several moments that will likely lead to important discussions between them and for a YA novel that is rare.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R355CWU6BCYKAC?ASIN=014242417X	Great Read!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I have wanted to read The Fault in Our Stars by John Green for quite some time. This novel has been very popular in the media since its publication in 2012, and after the movie was released in June of 2014 the popularity soared even more. I chose this book to read because I heard about its intense and eventful plot as well as its deep underlying meaning. I wanted to experience the journey that Hazel and Augustus share by reading the book. Having very little experience with cancer and its effects, I thought this novel would illustrate a passionate love story while incorporating the truthful side effects of having cancer.<br/> I usually enjoy most books that I read; whether it is because I am selecting the ones I would like to read for pleasure, or because I have an admiration for authors. However The Fault in Our Stars was one of the few books that I would recommend to my peers without any hesitation. The novel was thoughtfully crafted to portray a story that remained true to the way real teenagers act and also true to the way cancer affects real patients. I especially like Green’s use of Hazel’s obsession with “An Imperial Affliction” and Peter Van Houten because it shows how readers can have such a deep appreciation for the books they read and the authors who write them. The book is very suspenseful and eventful. The plot takes some turns that the reader wouldn't expect which makes the book hard to put down – once you get into the story you want to find out what happens with Hazel and Gus’s journey.<br/>  After reading the book, I was surprised. I was not expecting the book to be quite as good as what everyone in the media had made it out to be. I began reading the novel expecting it to be enjoyable, but not deserving of all the rave that has been stirred by its fan-base. However I was proven wrong when I finished it because it was one of the best books I have read. I read it in two days and I will probably reread it again before the end of summer because I enjoyed it so much! John Green is an incredible author and I have read two more of his books since I read The Fault in Our Stars. This book exceeded my expectations and I am glad I chose it!</span>"

I laughed harder than I have at anything in a long time -- the conversations between Hazel and Augustus are every bit of the random and whimsical conversations I've had with my friends. They are absolutely realistic and very inspiring in spite of Hazel's efforts not to be. I loved every word.

4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3CGJVXERU26B8?ASIN=014242417X	Don't be Fooled By The Reviews	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I am not saying that The Fault in Our Stars is a terrible novel, it just certainly isn't the appraisal novel it claims to be. Surely enough I can't speak to its authenticity since I am fortunate enough not to be a cancer survivor and not have anyone close my age who is going through the same experience. That being said, The Fault In Our Stars feels like a rushed utopian love story with little to no authenticity to it, and John Green's writing style doesn't help the novel much either. As a teenager I can learn to sympathize with the emotions John Green evokes in the novel however the story is too radically absurd and filled with plot holes to even be able to feel any empathy. Thus this brings me to the final score of a 2/5, for a person who doesn't usually read a lot I found this book to be a quite quick read.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R237NPBSKHUJRO?ASIN=014242417X	So Much More Than A Romance Novel.  Or a Cancer Novel.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Normally, I hate romance novels. They're mushy and romanticize the actuality of love way too much. But this was different. I wouldn't even call it a romance novel. I wouldn't even say there was a romance. There was reality, and love occurs in reality as well as all of the other things, both pleasant and unpleasant, in life. There's a honesty in this book that is refreshing, yet it always rings sincere and true as well. While the story revolves around two teen cancer patients, this definitely is not a ""cancer book.""  The characters are so interesting and you get swept away in their thoughts and emotions - again, both pleasant and unpleasant - and it makes for an enjoyable ride.  This was also a surprisingly quick read.  I haven't added a book to my list of all-time favorites in a while, but this one definitely makes the cut.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1A3GMU0CIUYJQ?ASIN=014242417X	A great read.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">As the surviving parent of a teenage son who had Cancer, this book gives me a perspective I never would have imagined. My son did not have the length of time between his diagnosis and imminent demise that Augustus and Hazel have. I like to think that he would have dealt with the burdens of being a cancer patient as well as they do.<br/><br/>It is refreshing to see the writer use characters that are intelligent and strive to understand the world around them. They have philosophical points of view not normally expressed by teenage characters in books. The love story that evolves around these two young people even when they know that their futures are bleak, is genuine. Hazel, knowing that she is living on borrowed time, is hesitant to even be remotely involved in a ""relationship"". Augustus is not swayed. He is intrigued by Hazel and her love of a certain book that has left her hanging and she just can't accept it. Augustus is soon on the same quest for answers. Their love blossoms over little things and just simply understanding each other.<br/><br/> If you are at all emotional, you will be a blubbering mess by the end of the book. You will come away feeling as if you have had a rare glimpse into a personal world of two teenagers and glad for ""knowing"" these two young people. Let's face it when we read a book we become a part of it, and they will become a part of you.</span>"

This novel touchingly tells the story of the relationship between Hazel Grace Lancaster and Augustus Waters, who meet at a support group for people with cancer. This is an absolute gem, a work of art that has to be read. My favorite quote is "" I'm in love with you. . . I am . . . I'm in love with you, and I'm not in the business of denying myself the simple pleasure of saying true things. I'm in love with you, and I know that love is just a shout into the void, and that oblivion is inevitable, and that we're all doomed and that there will come a day when all our labor has been returned to dust, and I know the sun will swallow the only earth we'll ever have, and I am in love with you.""

Every cell is born of a previous cell, which was born of a previous cell. Life comes from life. Life begets life begets life begets life begets life.""<br/><br/>The Fault in Our Stars is honest and heartfelt in the simplest and most complicated of ways, playfully and achingly asking its readers to question loss, bravery, youth, and humour as we go through life both blindly and acutely aware. Regardless of our age or gender, Green captures the fear, the humility, and the stubborn idealism of humanity in the face of impending death as 16-year-old Hazel Grace navigates us through her young adulthood and experiences of falling in love as a reluctant terminal cancer patient. Gradually and graciously, Green reminds us that to be human and alive is something beautifully ironic and truly bittersweet.</span>"

This may also be the reason this book was created for teenagers.<br/><br/>as for the story line it was great I really wish it didn't end the way it did  But I get it.  the characters were awesome you felt their energy, felt their pain, could hear their struggle.

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3NLFTU5E7W4GP?ASIN=014242417X	Good but not great	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I am an avid reader and always read books before seeing any theatrical version. However, I took my wife to see this last minute on a date night having never heard of the book...or movie. I absolutely loved the movie and read the book 2 days later in just 2 days. This is the only time I can think of that I actually preferred the movie over the book. Other comments have noted this may be more of a book for the teenage crowd and I think that may be true. Do not get me wrong, it is a good book with good characters, and a good plot. I just felt there was just something missing overall in the book and that it was slightly under-developed in a way... I think the movie did an amazing job on cleaning up the book, getting rid of some parts of the book that I felt were distractions and unnecessary like Hazel's high school friend, for example. I would still recommend the read, however. Keep in mind, I'm a big Nicholas Sparks reader so I may be comparing authors unintentionally.</span>"

Probably not the best choice for right now, because when I finished it, all I could think about were all the people I've lost to cancer, and all those I know who are currently fighting it,hoping to be survivors. And ironically, I finished it on World Cancer Day.<br/>Anyhow,the story is very moving, very touching, and very well written. I'm sure the movie is going to be a tearjerker.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R16EBWP14BH2X5?ASIN=014242417X	Great!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">For the past few years I had given a handful of ""young-adult"" novels a try, primarily because they were so widely valued by so many people, and the media would go on and on (including Hollywood) about how awesome these books were, and, sadly, without exception, they were all bad. I mean, there wasn't a single redeeming passage in there, and I read them all fully. Today I finished another one, which was such a relief. Actually, this book is the bomb; it is intelligent and thought provoking, it is original and inspiring, and very sweet. Yet despite its maturity, it is still obviously a young-adult book; it is aimed at young, unquestioning, immature minds, yet has so much to offer to readers of all ages. Isn't that awesome? I highly recommend The Fault in Our Stars.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3TUZ20PYJJEH5?ASIN=014242417X	Not geared for the adult reader.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">A nice story, but The Fault in Our Stars, which I read twice, was definitely geared to the young adult reader.  At first I couldn't put my finger on what I didn't like, but for me, I found Hazel's language differed from speaking to thinking.  What she said out loud was much more believable than the more sophisticated thoughts.  I am from Indianapolis, and recognized everyplace John Green mentioned since they are near my home.  Unlikely Gus would have been buried on the hill in Crown Hill Cemetery as alluded to,  since that is where the likes of James Whitcomb Riley are buried.  Possible, but not likely.  All of that aside, the book did deliver a message as to what a young terminal cancer patient might experience.  The appeal of the book, in my humble opinion, was the tragic love story of Hazel and Gus.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RFUJYKHIMEEVQ?ASIN=014242417X	Dissapointed	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I mainly blame the media for my 3-star review. I had heard so much about this book before I read it (it was amazing, beautiful, etc.) that I kind of put it on a throne, and in the end I was left wanting more. It was an okay book that was not really believable to me. Green mentioned in an interview I saw that he wanted to make the disease-ridden teenagers into people instead of a tragedy, and he achieves this, but the tragedy is a major part of cancer. My dad died from it when I was 9, and the stress and terror that go along with seeing someone like that is terrible. The grief that should have been in the story just wasn't there, and it makes the story seem fantastical. Isaac is the only one in the story who really experiences grief in the story to me, from his reaction to losing his girlfriend and his sight. The story has great quotes and moments, though, so it definitely wasn't a waste to read.<br/><br/>As a side note, I'm also not much of a fan of Green's writing style. I gave the story 3 stars because it was a nice read, but it just didn't move me.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R39IG2A8OFC7UB?ASIN=014242417X	I liked this book...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">But the movie is way better!  Let me explain.<br/>I first read this book 2 years ago, and I loved it!<br/>I heard the movie was coming out so I saw it a couple weeks ago, and I loved the movie!!  The actor who portrays Augustus does a great job, it's like he really is Gus!  Shailene Woodley does a nice job as Hazel as well.  Although for some reason, in the movie she's 17 and he's 18, where in the book she's 16 and he's 17.  So I have no clue why they did that.<br/>Anyways, since at that time I hadn't read the book in 2 years, I decided to read it again.<br/>Let me tell you, the movie is pretty spot-on; it's just like the book.  The movie hits the main points and everything.<br/><br/>So after reading this book again, I've decided that I like the movie way more than the book.  I'm not even sure why.  Maybe it's because I like seeing the movie displayed and what not, and how the book comes to life on screen.  Also, it sure helps that Augustus is super cute in the movie!!!<br/><br/>I also read 1 star reviews on here, and people say Gus is pretentious (I looked up that definition and yes, Gus totally is pretentious lol!)  Also, I've seen people say that Gus and Hazel are not what teens really sound like.  I totally agree with that.  They use vocab words that probably most adults don't even know the meaning to!  They're super smart beyond their years.  But maybe that's the whole point.<br/><br/>I do like the book, but will I read it again?  Probably not.  I think I'll give it to my aunt or something.<br/>Will I see the movie again?  Heck yes!  And I recommend seeing the movie, but read the book first so you can see how well the movie gets the book right.<br/>:)</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2YNTWXBWNDFLV?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing Book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I absolutely love John Green. I've been following his YouTube channel; Vlogbrothers, with his brother Hank for over 4 years now. I love John's other novels. But TFiOS is a special story that touched my heart like no other. Although the writing style isn't ""normal"" or what you'd expect from a ""teen romance"" novel, John's interesting take on the book's literature makes it unique and worth a good read.<br/><br/>I have a personal connection with the book. Hazel's story gave me a form of therapy I could never get from talking to someone after losing a close friend to cancer. I understand a lot that I didn't understand before The Fault in Our Stars entered my life. And even though I've read it 20 times and have tear stained pages, it still means so much and every time I read it I learn something new.<br/><br/>TFiOS is a wonderful novel for anyone looking for an interesting story that breaks away from the typical teen romance novel. Even though it's labeled as a ""cancer story"" it really isn't. It's about love, loss and learning how to live WITH loss and grief and going on out of the ordinary adverntures. It's just fantastic to be honest...</span>"

It is told in a passionate way that connects you to the characters. I saw the movie first and fell in love with it before reading the book, but the book is great too. It is a huge emotional drain but worth the read.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RVC3GM3BO4O68?ASIN=014242417X	The Best Love Story Ever	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was definitely like a roller coaster that keeps on climbing but everything that goes up must come down. It was a true love story that I will cherish forever. Hazel Grace and Augustus were two very strong characters who while being ill still kept there hopes and laughter's alive. Even though John Green stated that he started the book and then stopped in between it felt like every word just flowed easily. I fell completely in love with Augustus. Loved the way he spoke and how happy he always seem regardless of how he really felt. The scene when Hazel was in the Anne Frank Museum and she was climbing all those stairs and had to stop to breath made me see her will power. She was going to make it through those stairs no matter what, even if that was the last thing she did. There were many up and downs in this book. John didn't hold anything back. I was so upset that Peter Van Houten was such a jerk. What is sad is that there are many people in this world that are bitter and because of a loss in there life they have been stuck in that moment with no will to move on. I could relate a little with this story. My grandmother had died from Cancer. I saw everything that Chemo does to you and how your body reacts to all those horrible medication and treatments. It was sad to have seen Gus urinate on himself, the constant vomiting. Its really hard to know that someone you love will be dying soon and that most of there motor skills are diminishing. I saw the movie before reading this book, so I feel that this book was so much better than the film, but it was still a great movie. I highly recommend you read this book even though I know mostly everyone have read it.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2G9MDRHQCDACT?ASIN=014242417X	Undeniably sad, but also beautiful and heartfelt	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars is the story of Hazel Grace Lancaster, an empathetic 16-year-old girl with thyroid cancer. She has been battling the illness since the age of 12, and a new drug seems to have stopped the cancer’s progress. She needs to be hooked to an oxygen tank though to help her breathe, and she totes the device wherever she goes. However, illness has isolated her, and she spends most of her time at home with her parents. So her mother asks her to go to a support group for young cancer survivors, hoping she will make new friends there. That’s where Hazel meets Augustus, a handsome boy with grand ambitions. Their friendship grows into love as they spend more and more time together. They become obsessed with a book, An Imperial Affair by Peter Van Houten, and they wish they could meet the author in Amsterdam to clarify questions about the ending. Most of the time, they try to live like normal teenagers, but cancer cannot exactly be ignored…<br/><br/>Hazel’s character is based on Esther Earl, an American girl who had thyroid cancer and passed away at the age of 16 in 2010. John Green met her at a Harry Potter convention, and they became friends. However, the author had already started working on a book about cancer before he even knew Esther. In fact, it took him 10 years to write The Fault in Our Stars. The idea came to him when he worked as a children’s chaplain in a hospital. In this capacity, he saw first-hand the ravages of cancer, and he wanted to write about it. The title of the book comes from a line in the Shakespeare’s play Julius Caesar: “The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars but in ourselves.” John Green disagreed with this statement, as he believed the world to be a very unjust place. The suffering and death of children in particular made the author angry. So he decided to address these feelings in his book.<br/><br/>While The Fault in Our Stars is undeniably sad, it is also beautiful and very heartfelt. In addition, the fact that the story is told from Hazel’s point of view makes it all the more real to the reader. Unfortunately, Esther Earl never got to read the book, but I’m sure she would have loved it.<br/><br/>Please go to my blog, Cecile Sune - Bookobsessed, if you would like to read more reviews or discover fun facts about books and authors.</span>"

However, after seeing the trailer for the movie I KNEW I had to read it and boy let me tell you, I have never laid my eyes on a book so simple yet so complicated. The plot is full of small twists that you would never expect and super adaptive, the book is one that flows along with your imagination and sticks around. This is one of those books that create amazingly detailed imagery in your head as if it were forcing you to daydream about Hazel &amp; Augustus. It will one day be remembered as a true classic.<br/><br/>Reader Warning: This is a very romantic esque book geared towards younger audiences i.e. teenagers, however the climax and ending are very, very emotional *Tear Alert*</span>"

The ""plot twist"" was so obvious it was painful. I found the characters unrealistic in their wise beyond their years thing, cancer or not it wasn't believable. There was also no distinction between the two main characters, they were the same person in male and female form. I really don't see what all the hype was about, John Green's other books are all more enjoyable in my opinion. If you like fluff books give it a read if not then don't waste your time with this one, go see the movie.</span>"

Worthy of inclusion in any high school curriculum along side Catcher in the Rye, To Kill a Mockingbird, and the humorless, overrated Lord of the Flies.  As a high school teacher, I do not find the 2 protagonists representative of the students I interact with.  The novel's young characters are so reflective, articulate, and witty they seem more like twenty-somethings.  No doubt having cancer causes one to grow up faster and puts mundane issues in perspective.  I also like that the young protagonists have healthy relationships with their parents who are portrayed as sympathetic and loving rather than clueless.  Read the book before you see the film; the film is respectful and faithful to the novel but softens the edges somewhat.</span>"

I did not want to read yet another sad ""cancer"" story...I get way too emotional reading the sadness in such stories. This was different...it was bold and honest and really ""in your face"" this is life (and death) so deal with it. Live while you can...the best life you can and don't hide behind pity and guilt and other emotions...just say it the way it is...and get on with it! Loved the book and will go see the movie that came out this month too!</span>"

4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1T6OXMWIZDPUA?ASIN=014242417X	Not detailed	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The book had a okay topic but was packed into 300 pages. It left no room to get used to the characters and kind of fall in love with them. I am not arguing that John Green is a bad author it is just that if you are going to write a book on that touchy of a subject make it long enough for the readers to understand your point.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RYF0JFI8SB8QN?ASIN=014242417X	Brave, true, rare.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I am not a teenager, but I am a cancer survivor.  After readind the first few pages I was thrilled! (which some people might consider odd)  Here is a story that tells it like it is - cancer is horrible, and you have to fight both the disease, and other people's reactions to you.  There can be wonderful times and then find oneself quickly falling into the depths of despair.<br/>  Having said that--- this is a really good story.  My neice is this age, and the dialogue reminded me of her so I thought the it rang true.  There is humor, joy, guilt, (which was an excellent point), and breathtaking pain.  It's a book to go back to again and again, and each time you'll find new bits that you missed.  What you catch with fresh eyes just depends on your changing life experiences.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2EK74RIQK7F56?ASIN=014242417X	Meh	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Yeah, I know ""it's all the rage"" and all. Got for my daughter as she begged me for it and read it too. It's an ok, book but no great shakes really. Also, seems a bit formulaic and derivative to me.... Anyone read ""Love Story""?? Oh well, hang around long enough and "" everything old is new again"" I guess. I am sure John Green is laughing all the way to the bank. A decent read but unless you really must read it before seeing the movie, wait for a used book or library copy. It can wait.</span>"

4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1JM1W55Y66YPB?ASIN=014242417X	Strongly Recommended	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I chose to read this book because many people seemed to have lots of good opinions on it after reading it. Many people told me I should read the book. I would recommend this book to a high school reader because they may be able to relate to the characters who embark in a relationship. Also, because this book is not only a Romance, but it also includes humor, which may attract high school readers. The book met my expectations, and even exceeded them. Based on what I heard from the people who were recommending the book to me, my expectations were high. Not only was it a beautiful Romance, but it also included humor which made the book engaging and hard to put down.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3GXTFAVQVTUT2?ASIN=014242417X	"The New ""Love Story""."	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The title is taken from Shakespeare's Julius Caesar: ""The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves, that we are underlings."" John Green takes an honest look at illness, life, death, and love. Like Love Story, you know what's going to happen, but you're still unprepared when it does. The Fault in Our Stars raises questions we're afraid to ask, and gives answers we're afraid to hear. It's a Young Adult vehicle that is capable of appealing to all audiences.</span>"

4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RVRUHZU7YBO75?ASIN=014242417X	Slow Moving, Then Moving	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">For me the book started out too slow. I'll admit, I'm likely 12 years over the target audience. But I teach Middle School and wanted to stay up and up on this book my students were reading all over the school... even sitting in rapture through the last 50 pages, in the lunchroom of all places. I thought the beginning went on and on, and I didn't feel for any of the characters. Around halfway, I started to really care. Then I even shed some tears near the end as the story of Hazel and Gus became more realistic and deeper to me. I really cared about them by the end.<br/>In terms of storytelling, I was abrupted a few times by some meanderings into AN IMPERIAL AFFAIR and other references to poetry (contrived or pre-written), songs, and characters that never gain traction. Once the story became just about Hazel and Gus, it seemed to move along more smoothly.<br/><br/>Last thing. Our school librarian said this book was recommended for 8th grade and up. I would agree, there are at least two specific references to sexual activity beyond the norm of younger students. Parents may want to read along just in case it will open the door to some family conversations.</span>"

4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2B16UZWXJHGLY?ASIN=014242417X	Unexpected surprise	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Frankly, I purchased this book to prepare for a book club meeting and had limited expectations for the characters and story line. As I was only familiar with John Green's Mental Floss YouTube videos, I didn't quite know what to expect from a story about a teenage girl with cancer written by a very articulate and smart, but silly man in his late thirties. I was pleasantly surprised to say the least. The beginning read very much like a teenage girl, who was unsure about her life or what was left of it. I didn't hear John Green's voice in my head reading the story to me. The story flowed from the beginning and wove a great tale of love between two teens, who didn't know how much time they had together, but wanted to spend it with each other regardless. I appreciated the maturity of characters and the fact that they didn't act like spoiled, entitled brats like most teens these days, but were still able to connect with each other through video games and melodramatic novels. It was a sweet story of young love and the loss of young love. Also, I didn't cry while reading the story, but afterward while reading the author acknowledgements.</span>"

I tend to shy away from ""sad"" books because I frankly just don't like them, I'm sensitive and stuff like this turns me into a blubbering idiot and I get the ""feels.""<br/>With that being said.. I did like the book.. It was a very quick read for me and I do enjoy YA fiction but, I was ""meh"" about the ending.. I was hopping for the warm and fuzzy tingles and it just didn't happen.. HOWEVER - I do think everyone should read this book, it's worth the time and emotional energy strictly because of how real it felt, it could easily have been a non-fiction story.</span>"

Just know if I ever meet the cast of this movie I will faint, and be dead before I can even begin to express my gratitude.  This was amazing, I mean two kids with cancer falling in love yet the cancer doesn't define the love story. Hazel Grace Lancaster and Augustus Waters define the love story. Hazel's burden heavy, but her walk her life made light with the knowledge that fame stands as nothing in the end. Augustus , who with no words can be described. A metaphor genius, who is on a roller coaster only going up, an received a smaller infinity than deserved. And there's Issac who has been looked over by many. He who was stripped of his vision to be NEC, and will remain blind because he doesn't want to see a world without Augustus Waters. But remember, you don't get to chose if you get hurt in this world you only choose who hurts you. I am glad to have my heart broken by you, TFiOS.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RLQDST4OCPD1H?ASIN=014242417X	Feeling a little cheated	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars is a story about many things.  It’s about love and loss, yes, but it’s also about so much more.  Hazel and Augustus are just teenagers, yet already deciding who they are and what mark they will leave on the world.  Will it be a heroic and inspiring legacy they leave in which the universe will remember them?  Or will it be a hurtful and selfish stain thrown on humanity that keeps their memory alive?  Or when they leave this world, will the memories of them also fade?<br/><br/>Hazel has known she will die for years now.  Diagnosed with terminal cancer, she has been given a gift in the form of a drug trial that has managed to keep her tumors from growing.  She goes through her teenage life carting around an oxygen tank, watching America’s Next Top Model, and devouring her favorite novel An Imperial Affliction over and over again.  When she meets Augustus, a cancer survivor who lost his leg as a side effect, her life changes.<br/><br/>Although this book is full of death and Hazel’s focus on death could be incredibly depressing, it doesn’t feel like your typical cancer book.  Hazel is not a character out of a Lurlene McDaniel book, positive all the time, with inspiring goals and an I-can-do-this attitude.  She is bleak about her life and honest about her fears of hurting everyone around her.  She tries to minimize the inevitable pain by making as few connections as possible.  This isn’t done in a loving and selfless way.  Instead this fear is about herself, about what type of person that makes her if she allows others to be hurt by her death.  She is a whiny teenager, arguing with her parents, annoyed by their hovering, and desperately trying to keep herself out of a relationship with Augustus.  Small spoiler:  they get together.<br/><br/>All the characters in this novel are lovely.  They are real.  Hazel, Augustus, and their friend Isaac talk openly and honestly about the people in their lives and how much it truly sucks to have cancer.  I appreciated this.  You see their flaws, but love them all the same.  And your heart breaks along with theirs.<br/><br/>The most intriguing thing about An Imperial Affliction, the book with which Hazel and Augustus are obsessed is the way it ends, without an ending at all really—the main character just stops midsentence.  Hazel is haunted by this, needing to know, not what happened to Anna, the main character (it’s obvious that this character has died) but what happens to everyone else.  Are they okay?  Do they move on?  Are they happy?  This all reflects back on Hazel’s own fear of hurting her family and friends by dying and leaving them behind.  She refers to herself as a grenade that will tear everyone near her apart, and she needs the assurance of An Imperial Affliction’s author to give her that.<br/><br/>There is so much I want to say about this book.  The language is so beautiful, and although in most circumstances I would roll my eyes at the words these teenagers use, it’s believable here.  It’s obvious that Hazel is very smart and she devours books, so it makes sense that she would speak with such verbosity and confidence.  There were moments when I had to pause and go back and read a line or paragraph because it was so beautifully written that it deserved another look.<br/><br/>I was taken by this book and angry at it as well.  What I assumed when I started reading the novel did not happen and as soon I realized what would happen in this book, I was so incredibly angry.  The characters are written so well and we become so attached to them and we think we are prepared for the worst.  In fact, the entire book has been set up to prepare us, to ease us into the inevitable.  Instead we’re blindsided with reality and it crushes.  I’m not sure if I feel tricked or not.  I’m not sure if I really like this novel for doing this, for eliciting such emotion, or if I feel as if John Green and I had an agreement and then he broke it.  I guess I feel a little bit like Hazel and Augustus when they finish reading An Imperial Affliction.  Cheated.<br/><br/>[...]</span>"

I liked it because if the questions surrounding life and death the other makes. They are compelling and stick with you. It really makes you think. I love that about books. The story however wasn't very engaging I felt like it stalled at times. Also the characters weren't memorable and I didn't feel emotionally connected to them as much as a would like to have been. However in the movie is the opposite. Read the book then go see the movie it is well worth your time and money. You will be thinking about it for a long time. I was/am.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2DFY8Q4MKR4TN?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in Our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was recommended to me about a year ago, and when I looked it up and saw it as a Young Adult/Teen genre, I decided to skip it. I generally don't read this genre because I find them to be way took quick reads without the depth and detail I enjoy from other genres (this is probably because I am not a teen, I'm a 26 year old woman). A few months ago, I saw the trailer for the movie, and having just finished the Song of Ice and Fire series and needing a light and fast read, I decided to give it a shot.<br/><br/>I am not a teenager and I fortunately have no experience with cancer at all, but I am a human, and I think that's all you need to be to enjoy this book. Augustus Waters is adorably dreamy, Hazel Grace is relatable and honest, and I found their interactions to be wonderfully portrayed. The love between Hazel and Augustus was a delight to read, and their story will pull at your heartstrings. This is a very quick read, as the majority of it is dialogue. There are a lot of pop culture references, which I personally don't like in the books that I'm reading, and if there was anything that I wish I'd known before reading it, it would be that (I think I'm kind of a snob when it comes to these things though). I thought the book was a tad predictable, but after talking to my friends who'd read the book, they disagreed, so I think it just depends. I won't give anything away, but it's a book about kids in a cancer support group, so it's pretty sad. All in all, this is one of the best Young Adult books I've read, and it actually made me look into the genre again. So even if you're like me and you don't particularly like Young Adult/teen books, I'd still urge you to give this book a chance. It's not so much about cancer, but about a beautiful relationship between two teenagers and no matter who you are, I think there's something to be gained from reading this book.</span>"

4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R113NIAMQL9TFI?ASIN=014242417X	Did not like the ending	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">No spoilers here I will just say it did not end as I thought it would and I did not really like the ending. It is a pretty good book but I did not think it lived up to the hype.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R25VARR8L264AE?ASIN=014242417X	Wonderfully written.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">An adult is a child/teenager with layers on, and this particular book is one of the rare cases that helps to remove those layers. Even as my teenager years are gone, I could still relate and feel the roller-coaster ride that went up till it finally had to go down. The story between those amazingly written characters is touching, funny and heart breaking. Augustus Waters and Hazel Grace are perhaps not the typical teenagers but considering what they had to go thru in their young life makes them even more extraordinary.<br/><br/>People may complain that this fiction is not realistic enough, young people don't communicate like that. Even if this is true (but who am I to judge this, as teenagers tend to stay with their own, and there is nothing wrong with this), isn't this the meaning of books? To escape reality to a fictional world were everything is possible or not?<br/><br/>But in this book it was a sweet and sad escape, all happened at the same time, I turned from smiling and laughing into crying my heart out. I wished for a happy ending but to quote from the book: The world is not a wish granting factory!</span>"

4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3EQEZI226JN2N?ASIN=014242417X	It Was Incredible.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read this a little before all of it's recent hype had began, and let me tell you, this was a major tear-jerker. I cried far too many times and managed to complete it in one day. It was a journey and such an incredible read. I was laughing, crying, and sitting on the edge of my couch in anticipated of what awaited me on the next page.<br/><br/>What I didn't like was the kissing scene in the Anne Frank house, but I can understand that teens can be pretty wild. Still, it made me a little upset to read it. Like, ""how dare they do that?!?!"" Hazel is far too obsessed with this one book's ending, and I think her journey for the author was way too impulsive (which can be obviously seen by the result of meeting the drunkard). I don't know... still good though. It was really good. I wonder if John Green can ever top this?</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R37YMT2KQH70ZU?ASIN=014242417X	A Kernel of Nonsense Reviews	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Review originally posted on A Kernel of Nonsense blog.<br/>Hazel Grace Lancaster is dying. Diagnosed with Stage IV thyroid cancer that has spread to her lungs, Hazel has spent the last three years of her life accepting that her death is imminent, it isn’t a matter of if but when. Hazel is forced to attend Support Group with other Cancer Kids, but the group does little to impede her growing depression (a side effect of dying), then Augustus Waters shows up. Unabashedly flirtatious, Augustus breathes new life into Hazel’s world. Bonding over an obscure novel, the two of them are determined to discover the answers to the loose ends the author has left behind.<br/><br/>Cancer is not something many people find easy to talk about. Hazel is impenitently honesty, she doesn’t want to hear sugar-coated truths and is even less likely to dish out her own. Understandably cynical, Hazel has spent the last three years of her life stuck. The problem with being sick is everyone sees you as being Sick, even Hazel herself sometimes suffers from this, and Augustus comes into her life and sees Hazel, not the cancer. She is hesitant to get involved with Augustus because no matter how much she doesn’t want to worry that death is coming for her, she cannot ignore who she will be leaving behind.<br/><br/>Augustus Waters is this bright star in the middle of a starless night. Yes, he’s pretentious but it isn’t the kind that is off-putting. There is something keenly insightful about everything he says and though Hazel does not lack cynicism, it’s hard even for her not to be drawn to the shining beacon that is Augustus Waters. Augustus teaches Hazel that life, despite death, is beautiful. One of my favorite lines from him: “I have wonderful news…You are going to live a good and long life filled with great and terrible moments that you cannot even imagine yet!”<br/><br/>This is my second time reading The Fault in Our Stars and even though I knew the story and was prudent enough not to read it while in public, it still affected me in a largely emotional way. If I had to pinpoint the reason for the book’s popularity it would be this: John Green creates these beautiful, young characters who’ve been dealt the worse hands in the world and instead of making them objects of pity, makes you feel honored to read about them and maybe wish you had them in your life even for only a little while.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RGDKFXC3UMA96?ASIN=014242417X	This is perfection at it's finest.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I don't know why I am writing a review for a book with 22,000 reviews already, but I have to because it deserves every 5 star it gets. This book is worth the hype. It is hilarious, witty, inspiring, brutal, happy, and devastating all simultaneously. This is the first book I have ever read, or movie I have seen, where I have gone through possibly every emotion one can go through. You will be happy, nervous, sad, entertained, fulfilled, and more on this 300 page journey. This book is a quick read, you will get so caught up in Hazel's and Gus' world you will find the journey short lived. I read this book in 5 hours, and my sister read it after me and was able to finish in a day as well. It is that good. Usually it takes me about 3 or 4 days to get through a book of this size, not this one. You will hold on to every word and think about this book for days. I can't shake this book from my mind. I just saw the movie, after reading it, and the movie is perfection. The book is perfection. The Soundtrack is perfection. This is the most perfect thing I have came across in some time.<br/><br/>John Green's ability to convey his story to his audience is profound. He is subtle, and relaxed in telling a story about such a brutal topic. He knows how to play with your emotions, in the good way and bad. He is an incredible writer, and I hope he continues to influence the literary world as he has with this book. This book is about teens, but anyone can relate. One may find themselves identifying with those with cancer, or perhaps those like Issac going through a break up, or the mother who tries so hard to hold everyone together, while also trying to build herself up, or you may identify with Patrick, who is facing life in remission or perhaps you will identify to the depressed Van Hooten. You will identify to one of these characters and feel inspired beyond belief. This work can only be described as a profoundly intense, perfect journey of love, passion, and circumstance. This is the best literary journey I have ever been on. If there was ever something in this world that was complete perfection this is it. Read this book, it has 22k reviews for a reason.<br/><br/>Hazel says in this book that when she was asked how much pain she felt she would say a 9/10, because she wished to save her 10. If there was ever a book to give my perfect 10 to it would be this one. This is a 10/10, no need to say a 9 because you are looking for something better. This is the best it gets.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read this book in the course of an evening into a day and it was easily one of the best books I have read.  With all the movie hype I was cautious, and wanted to make sure I read it prior to seeing the movie.<br/><br/>My parents live in Fishers, IN and many of the references to places in Indiana I have been to, so it made this book extra special.  I have also lost many people to cancer, and went into the book with myself braced on how it might end.  Needless to say I was drawn in read every page with eager anticipation and was surprised with the ending, considering I was so certain I had predicted its ending.<br/><br/>Take the time to read this book, and make sure you have the time to truly dedicate... I cried so hard at times but enjoyed every minute of the book.  I hope they choose to make this a book for high school summer reading lists.</span>"

2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RCLWTK4T4FGIF?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in Our Stars--just another love story or something more?	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I have to admit-I was a little late jumping aboard the John Green bandwagon. In fact, I tend to wait to read what's ""popular"" until the chaos settles. So I did with Twilight and Harry Potter, and so I have done with The Fault in our Stars. But, like they say, better late than never, and I'm glad I have bought a round trip ticket to sit on the Green train.<br/><br/>As a high school English teacher, I rarely have time to read for fun during the school year, and summer not only brings a mental break from the stress that is a classroom of sixteen year old students, but it provides a much welcome return to Young Adult fiction. So I began this summer surrounded by TFIOS movie buzz, and like any English teacher, I wanted to read the book first. After seeing the film and quite enjoying it, I must say that the book, as per usual, was better.<br/><br/>The Fault in our Stars begins with sixteen year old Hazel Grace Lancaster detailing the saga of being diagnosed with cancer at age twelve. Believing that her daughter is depressed, Hazel’s mother strongly suggests that she attend a support group. Much to Hazel’s chagrin, she slowly walks into the church where the support group meets, trudging along with her oxygen tank in tow. Hazel’s cancer left her with a set of ineffective lungs, and now the only way she can maintain a balanced lung capacity is by breathing through her cannula twenty-four hours a day.<br/><br/>But this particular day of support group turns out to be different. Hazel catches the attention of seventeen year old Augustus Waters, who himself has cancer and has subsequently lost his leg. Augustus stares at Hazel so intently that at first she becomes uncomfortable. It is not until Augustus responds to the following prompt: ""Augustus, perhaps you'd like to share your fears with the group” with “I fear oblivion” that Hazel takes notice of Augustus as more than another cancer story.<br/><br/>From there follows the tragic love story of Hazel Grace Lancaster and Augustus Waters, doomed to fulfill the title’s allusion to Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar where Caesar tells Brutus: “The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves.” No matter how deeply they love each other, each body is filled with an unstoppable cancer, a “grenade” as Hazel calls it, and one seals the fates of these two teens.<br/>One cannot simply say they “enjoyed” this book because that would be admitting that one takes pleasure from reading a book about kids and cancer, and honestly, no one would rather read this than a book with a happy ending. But here is my question: doesn’t this book have a happy ending?<br/><br/>Upon leaving the theater after the movie premiered, I saw so many young girls (and ladies, it’s ok to admit it) leaving the theater in tears. Yes, the ending is tragic, and anyone who knows the reference to Shakespeare should not be surprised, but Hazel realizes so much more about herself because of her journey with Augustus.<br/><br/>She finally sees that her parents have not given up on her much in the same way she stood so intently beside Augustus. She realizes that her mother has been planning on starting a career as a social worker and has not, as she thought, been too preoccupied with worrying about Hazel. Most importantly, she realizes that it’s okay to hold onto what hurts and embrace the choices in life that symbolize disappointment, love, loss, and oblivion.<br/><br/>See my blog at reviewscomingatya.blogspot.com</span>"

Green should have thought more on how to get to his conclusion.<br/><br/>I was captivated by the story and loved the style.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3MSR6OM5SDX8A?ASIN=014242417X	Cancer, breakfast food metaphors, and abandoned swings	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Wrapped in the sharp, clever humor of the protagonist Hazel Grace are statements about herself. Her boyfriend Augustus is the one who claims to love metaphor, but Hazel is forever speaking in it, unknowingly referencing and explaining herself through passionate defenses of objects such as scrambled eggs and an old abandoned swing set from her back yard, that her cancer-ridden lungs no longer allow her to play on. Perhaps this passion, intelligence, and uniquely humorous take on life are the things that intrigue Augustus, as they will you. These are the things he sees and she cannot-she is very much a metaphor herself, and rants passionately about objects that she doesn’t want to reveal about herself because she doesn’t want to become “a grenade” or a cancer time bomb waiting to destroy his life as she feels she is to her parents. In the end, Hazel grace is a girl who opens us all up to vulnerability and as a result, a fuller life and more adventures than most of us dream of, despite faulty stars that condemn her to living with cancer and a breathing tank she names Philip.<br/><br/>For a themed recipe of Cheesy Bacon Scrambled Egg Cups, an explanation why these were chosen to represent the book, as well as discussion questions and other book recommendations based on what aspect of this book you enjoyed, visit: [...] or [...]</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R37E83LZIP4WP0?ASIN=014242417X	The Greatest Fear - Not Death but Oblivion	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I approached this book with some skepticism, all ready to pounce on any sign of self-indulgent, maudlin teenage angst. One must admit that the premise of two young cancer victims, Hazel and Augustus, falling in love does seem to invite those fears, and yet my curiosity was piqued to see if this highly-lauded YA novel would live up to its hype.<br/><br/>So it was with some surprise when I found myself getting drawn into the narrative, and taken by the wittiness of the dialogue and the characters' honesty when dealing with their sicknesses. In many ways, Hazel and Augustus are typical teenagers, and it is to John Green's credit that he does not make them out to be particularly stoic or heroic about their suffering. He is careful not to reduce them into stock characters in a cancer narrative. In fact, Augustus admonishes Hazel, when he is getting to know her better, and she starts to recount how she got sick: ""Don't tell me you're one of those people who becomes their disease. I know so many people like that. It's disheartening. Like, cancer is in the growth business, right? The taking-people-over business. But surely you haven't let it succeed prematurely.""<br/><br/>Green delves into his characters well, and while these young adults are not anywhere close to goody-two-shoes, they are endearing in their consideration for others in the midst of their misery. Even when Hazel is busy being a teenager, she understands the pain a parent of a sick child bears when she reflects that ""the only one thing s***tier than biting it from cancer when you're sixteen, and that's to have a kid who bites it from cancer."" She is also keenly aware of her own mortality, but that only causes her to struggle with her feelings for Augustus: ""I'm a grenade and at some point I'm going to blow up and I would like the minimize the casualties, okay?"" In a situation when it is perfectly understandable that these characters could succumb to complete wretched self-centredness, they look up from their suffering and around them. And it is the almost blase way Hazel pronounces that ""cancer is also a side effect of dying. Almost everything is, really"", that makes us empathise even more with her.<br/><br/>What is impressive is how Green creates a fictional book ""An Imperial Affliction"", that Hazel draws inspiration from, and that leads her and Augustus to travel to Amsterdam to meet its reclusive author, Peter Van Houten (yes, he of the familiar last name) to find out the fates of the characters in his seemingly unfinished work. That ""An Imperial Affliction"" has gained so much reputation among readers of this novel that many are dismayed to find out this is just part of the story, and not an actual book by a real author, is testament to Green's persuasive creative imagination.<br/><br/>Overall, for a YA novel, this is pretty well-written and engaging.</span>"

4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3NOKILXWC5THB?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in Our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Where do I begin?<br/><br/>I've joined the TFiOS bandwagon and it's not too shabby. I actually loved the book (haven't seen the movie - yet). It was well written and John Green truly has way of really yanking out your heart (in a good way). Whether you are a connoisseur of young adult fiction, which seems to really delve into the whole ""love doesn't come easy, but when it does come, it is GREAT"" thing,  or you're just an appreciator of good writing, despite the cheesiness of sad, teenage love stories, then this book really hits the mark. It isn't too heavy that you have question the whole existence of humanity and why love has to hurt more than it feels good, nor is it too light that you leave feeling like you've lost some brain cells. It's a nice balance of many emotions, and if you are an emotional reader, like myself, then all the happy moments and sad moments will bring you to tears (but for all the right reasons).<br/><br/>I definitely recommend this book. And I look forward to reading more of his previous works and anything he gives us in the future - as I've now become a fan.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3FHI65LHC4722?ASIN=014242417X	Alright	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The plot is very interesting and captured my attention, but the way it was written was too simplistic. It almost felt like I was reading fanfiction. I suppose since it is targeted for teenagers it has to have a ordinary writing style and that might be why many young people have grown fond of this novel. Because it has such big ideas wrapped in a bundle of understandable words. I myself am a teenager and,frankly, a lover of good books so when I see a book like this gain great gratitude among my peers, I feel a bit disappointed since other books are left in the dust. Some parts, like when the author would put a spoken sentence entirely in capitals to show excitement, made me cringe as a reader. However, I did enjoy reading it. I would recommend this if you were solely reading for the plot.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2PRH1UZL1FOBH?ASIN=014242417X	It could have been so good, but...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The story line of this is amazing.  Then the author had to go and ruin the whole thing by making it a ""Disney channel"" special.  What do I mean by that?  The teenagers are portrayed as MUCH smarter than their parents, use filthy language because they lack vocabulary development, treat their parents with contempt and often disrespect just like on TV.  I feel very sorry for Mr. Green if kids like these are the only examples he has of how teenagers ACTUALLY behave.  Then to top it all off, he has to make sure that we all understand that life is meaningless without sex and alcohol.  After all Augustus didn't have a ""full"" life till he got ""tipsy"" and laid.  PUKE!!!  This could have been a classic, instead it's just another book pumped out in the hopes of winning Hollywood's favor.  And that it did - quite the lack of accomplishment.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R21EXTUO5NNCVE?ASIN=014242417X	Dialogue is not age adjusted (for non-lettered teens)	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">First, let me say that this is a great story. The prose is precious and your heartstrings will be tugged until tears are squeezed from your eyes, but alas the colloquies, soliloquys, metaphors, allusions and other literary Trompe l'oeil are just not realistic coming from the mouths of (barely) post pubescent teens.  Even if they both graduated HS early and immediately qualified for membership in MENSA, still, no dice, nope.  However, having said that, let me say the book is still a terrific read for me because of the erudite language.  But just when I think, wow, I wish I had said that, the moment is ruined by the image of two pimply faced teen-agers imitating (via the author) Voltaire, Oscar Wilde or Christopher Hitchens. Hey, after a few pages of the book, I expected Hazel to say to Gus.  Hazel:  Wanna hear a joke, Gus?<br/>Gus: Yeah sure. Hazel: Renee Descartes walks into a bar.  The bartender immediately recognizes him as a regular and asks ""The usual Renee?  To which Descartes replies, ""No I think not."" Then suddenly and inexplicably, Descartes disappears.  Hazel again: (a teenage giggle) OK let's talk about intellectual disengagement........et al cosas (pardon the mixture of languages)  If the author had limned Hazel and Gus as a couple of cancer stricken graduate students in say Literature, the literati among us would have enjoyed the erudition, but then the plot would have been shot to hell.  And when you write to sell, plot be damned.  Go for the heartstrings and this novel sure does.  I recommend it with the above caveats.<br/>  James Studdard, BA, MA, JD, ThD (not to impress anyone), but to advise that I know how adjectives, adverbs, subjects and predicates should sound when pushed together by teen-agers. It's more like,you know? Like, read the book. Like, see if you like it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2MCDAN61604KQ?ASIN=014242417X	A Good Read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I enjoyed reading this book, but I'm sure unlike many others, I did not love it. With the recent movie release, I feel like there has been a lot of hype about the book and how ""life-changing it is, how its one of the best books out there, and you have to read it!"" I kinda have to disagree because while yes, the book as good and it was entertaining, it was not the best book I have ever read. Nor was it my favorite. I can always tell if a book is an amazing book if I can pick it up and read 20 times more and love it just a little bit more each time... which is not the case with The Fault In Our Stars. Did I like the book? Yes. Did I enjoy reading it, did it make me smile, and at one point, cry? Yes. Would I recommend that you read it? Yes. Did it change my life? No... Would I read it again? No...<br/><br/>Another thing I didn't like was Hazel and Gus's age of 16 and 17... The way they both spoke and behaved, they seemed more like they were in their early 20's. Then again, their characters might be this way because they went through cancer.<br/><br/>But anyways, long story short: it was a good book, but it was not amazing.</span>"

As I expecting, I spent a lot of the book sniffling and blowing my nose and it ended terribly sad but also uplifting in a way.  The characters were great - loved Hazel Grace and Augustus's relationship. The only part I didn't like was the author of Hazel's book and her obsession to have him tell her ""what happened to the characters after the book ended.  My granddaughter also saw the movie and described it as ""amazing.""  But I'll pass on that as I don't think the entire theater needs to listen to me sobbing for two hours!</span>"

As it should. I'd hoped that he'd be eulogizing me, because there is no one I'd rather have. I can't talk about our love story, so I will talk about math. I am not a mathematician, but I know this. There is an infinite between 0 and 1. There's .1 and .12 and .112 and an infinite collection of others. Of course there is a bigger infinite set of numbers between 0 and 2, or between 0 and a million. Some infinities are bigger than other infinities. A writer we used to like taught us that. There are days, many days of them, when I resent the size of my unbounded set. I want more numbers than I'm likely to get, and God, I want more numbers for Augustus Waters than he got. But, Gus, my love, I cannot tell you how thankful I am for our little infinity. I wouldn't trade it for the world. You have me a forever within the numbered days, and I'm grateful.""</span>"

Only bought it because of how popular it is, but was disappointed to find out it is just another one of those ""teen books"" that have taken over the universe (read: Fifty Shades; Twilight...you get my drift).

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2M6B68O1X0PQ9?ASIN=014242417X	Excellent Example of Storytelling	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Reality often sucks. It’s near impossible to be Pollyannaesque individuals in today’s world. So, why would anyone want to read a work of fiction based on teenagers with cancer? For the subtleties, of course. Because immersing ourselves in the lives and deaths of characters at best has the potential to teach us compassion at worst it prepares us for what may unexpectedly come.<br/><br/>I began reading this book while waiting at the hospital to have tests run. When they called me back, I was loathe to put it down. The rest of the day was a study in patience as I fulfilled obligations. As soon as the last chore and task was complete, I jumped back into Hazel’s story and didn’t leave until the last page was turned.<br/><br/>Green has created very real characters. Three dimensional, multi-faceted characters who, unlike most of us, have a relationship with mortality. Death is their companion. Not a friend mind you, a chaperon waiting close by for the right moment to steal their last breath. And yet they live. Not for themselves, but for others. For each other.<br/><br/>The story is compelling and unfolds beautifully, despite its gravity. Pivotal moments are disbursed at a natural pace, unforced. As a lover of books, I’m smitten with the idea of one book and its author playing such a huge role in the characters’ lives. The weaving of wonder and disappointment, enchantment and hopelessness leads the reader on an emotional journey–one that is eerily realistic.<br/><br/>The Fault in Our Stars is an example of excellent storytelling. While the end wasn’t entirely unexpected, the getting there was enthralling and the undercurrents stick with you long after.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3K0WZOZ9K341X?ASIN=014242417X	I'm an idiot	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I went through (I'm not sure why) and read all the one-stars first...before I read the book, and got pretty jaded.<br/>(You know, the characters sound just like-4o-year old college professors, and they are really just the author smugly portraying himself over and over.)<br/><br/>And yet, unexpectedly, I was charmed by the story. Yes, the characters do sound alike, and are unnaturally witty and philosophical, for any age, but that's why they are in a best selling novel. They are extraordinary. I love that the parents are wonderful, loving human beings as well. Even the crotchety old Dutch author has some redemption, sort of.The book makes one feel emotions most prefer not to, but in this day of artificial everything, a good cry is soul healing.<br/><br/>The book reminds me of another famous book -Love Story, from long ago. Probably the first tear-jerkier that so many fell in love  with. A newer one is the Gingerbread Boy, about an aspiring rock musician who learns he has Lou Gehrig's Disease, and hides it and runs from the love of his life, nobly hoping she won't quit college to watch him deteriorate.<br/><br/>Most of us have seen pain and heartache close up, me included. Over and over. And it's not fun. But this book tries to make some sense of it--meaning, sometimes, there is no sense to it. None. Whatsoever. And we simply must carry on for those who love us.<br/><br/>A fine read, and I look forward to the movie.</span>"

2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2W7V3ABXKQF8B?ASIN=014242417X	Good, but...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Before I begin reviewing, I want to clarify something: I DID NOT hate this book. I do not hate John Green. I don’t claim to have any knowledge whatsoever regarding what it feels like to be diagnosed with a terminal disease, much less how it feels to be a teenager with a terminal disease. The primary reason I wanted to read this book was because I knew Green had based a lot of it on his experiences with cancer survivors, and I admired that and wanted to gain some understanding of how people a thousand times braver and stronger than I can ever hope to be, think. (I’m also an English major and it’s a book every third person told me I HAD to read. I got curious.) I am not critiquing the voice/subject matter at all, because I’m not qualified to do that. That kind of criticism belongs to the real Hazels and Augustuses and Isaacs of the world. Rather, my review is about the boring parts of a book: the mechanics. I’m interested in how well Green executed his idea, not the idea itself.<br/>(***JUST IN CASE***)<br/>(***SOME SPOILERS POSSIBLY CONTAINED BELOW***)<br/>Now, all of that being said, I was very disappointed in this book and after a lot of wrestling, I decided to give it three, not four, stars.<br/>I'm sorry. I couldn't love it, even though I wanted to. I wanted to SO BADLY.<br/>After the wonderful critical reviews, the numerous, “Oh, this is my favorite book ever, READ THIS BOOK, I cried so hard, you won’t regret it” customer reviews I read or got from friends, I was let down. Green’s style of writing is good, no mistake there. But I saw everything coming, and nothing surprised me in the least. I’d heard the book described as everything from funny and quirky to mesmerizing and tragic, and I kept looking for that one thing, that one spark, something to really pull me into the story and put me through the wringer…and nothing happened. If anything, I felt a little depressed at the end, because the characters, despite their offbeat senses of humor, emotional love, and deep-seated fears, come across as pompous, arrogant little intellectuals. In short, all the purple prose revolving around “small infinities” did no one any favors. It sounds attractive in abstract, but in execution, it waddled. Philosophizing loses its impact when it’s done repeatedly, and TFIOS pours in, stirs up, and bakes its philosophizing to a crisp. Whether it’s Hazel, Gus, or Van Houten doing the philosophizing, it quickly loses its novelty and becomes tiresome. At first, I was excited about the level of dialogue; Hazel makes references I make myself and most people I know don’t get, and it was amazing. I felt like such a happy little nerd. But then the references kept going. And going. And going. And the speculations grew longer. And longer. And longer. And before long, I felt preached at by the pomposity of people who were scoffing at preachers. Irony? Yes, but unintentional irony. By striving so hard to make me feel, the book pushed me away and made me feel nothing. In short, I felt that I was becoming heartless. I kept scolding myself throughout the story, because I really wanted to like Hazel—she has all the kind of traits I usually enjoy in a protagonist: wit, grit, determination, vulnerability, stubbornness, and wicked sarcasm skills (plus she loves books!)—but I couldn’t. She kept making me laugh throughout the story, and not in the parts where I knew the book wanted me to laugh. And that, I believe, is my real problem with the book: for an supposedly emotional story that’s intended to make its readers think and feel, it didn’t do a very good job of either. Instead, I knew the whole time that I was reading a story instead of experiencing it, and I was so put off by the intellectual pretentiousness, that I began subconsciously critiquing as I read, and that was the end of any possible feeling. The this-is-thought-provoking aspect went almost as fast; I lost all respect for the excellent writing and the interesting characters when they continued to exhort the necessity of feeling in unnecessarily complicated terms (see how that works?), all the while bashing intellectualism as cold and unfeeling, and I ended up getting a good chuckle over how ridiculously ironic the whole message became—and it’s a story about terminally ill kids. I should have felt something. I know it. But I just couldn’t, because the book kept trying to make me. And that saddens me, because this is not the kind of story that I should be able to detach myself from while reading it. By all rights, I should have been dissolving in a puddle of tears at the end—and if this same story had been summarized in two sentences for me, I would have. But unfortunately, the overuse of elevated language stripped away the story’s heart for me, much like what happens when you dissect and analyze a really pretty poem. All of this, however, is not to say I hated the book. Far from it; in all honesty, TFIOS is a well-written book, and it tells a story from a point of view that needs to be heard. It’s just, in my opinion, EXTREMELY over-hyped, and there are plenty of other books out there that match it, and many more that surpass it, in quality. My recommendation: read it for the perspective, but don’t idolize it as a work of Shakespeare. Like the love Hazel has for Van Houten’s work, it doesn’t quite deserve it. Save your love for those who have lived, or are living this story, because they’re the ones who really deserve it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1F93CPGM619F5?ASIN=014242417X	Emotional love story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I heard that it was a sad book prior to reading it so I emotionally prepared myself for the read, so I thought! It was a great romantic love story but not predictable at all. Kept me intrigued and wanting to read more the whole way through to the point where I was sad when it ended. Would definitely recommend it just have the tissues handy!</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R29EZWU5AJCH84?ASIN=014242417X	WELL WRITTEN TRUE	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I was also diagnosed with cancer, and just to point out, this is true with all of the things.<br/><br/>Gus seems to flinch, and people have said he says no pain, as if guys will tell you if they are in pain. I feel like it is very true to the fact that he is a stubborn teenager; even though, he is a survivor.<br/><br/>It also sheds some light on the painful truth of missing part of your brain (essentially a brain injury), and that's also something I was diagnosed with and I have seen her issues (Caroline) many times, so it remains true to that as well.<br/><br/>There also are a bunch of cancer jokes, and I can relate to that because I have made those jokes, like, ""I should get eye cancer too"", and it's easy to get involved with her character because she doesn't feel awkward about saying those things.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1ES6GYZOIIQRU?ASIN=014242417X	Practically Perfect in Every Way	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I only read this book because it was written by John Green, and I'd loved his other books. Everyone at school said this book was so good, so I assumed that it was another teen fad like the Divergent series, but this book was nearly perfect. I loved everything about it, no matter how many times I cried. I would read this book for the rest of my life.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R39NQ7NWQ4DI6P?ASIN=014242417X	"""Okay? Okay."""	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Spoilers...<br/><br/>I'm an avid reader and picked up this book awhile back, long before I knew it would be a movie. I wanted to review it because though it is a love story, this book is also very real and deals with the fact that sometimes life is cruel and unfair. These 2 lively and young characters, kids at that, are dealt a crappy hand with having to deal with cancer. They face their illnesses with bravery and poise and though they only get a short time together, it's the time they have that makes this a beautiful story. They have their ""forever"" even if it's just for a few short months. You fall in love with them as John Green writes them, especially Augustus who is one of the most charming characters to ever grace the pages of a novel. His love for Hazel is something that is so magical it makes your heart swell.<br/><br/>It may not have the happy ending most love stories do, but, The Fault In Our Stars shows us that even if a person enters your life for just a little while, the impression they make can leave a mark on your heart and soul forever.<br/><br/>Read the book and see the movie! Okay? Okay.</span>"

However, it was quite impossible to put the book down from the moment I began reading it. Not a hard read at all, very pretty, and light (yet profound and deep and meaningful and simply amazing!). If you are planning on watching the movie (another must-do), do yourself the biggest favor and also read the book. Heck, even if you already saw the movie, read the book anyways, it'll add an even deeper dimension to the characters.</span>"

BUT - it was also an eye opener - and I would strongly suggest anyone who knows someone battling a life threatening illness to read this book!  The author was amazing - considering he was writing this book in the eye of a teenage girl.  Amazing!  Awesome!  I will read it again!!  I highly recommend it to everyone!</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R36O79CW4HPRCB?ASIN=014242417X	A welcome tearjerker	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is one of the first romance novels I have read where the characters didn't sicken me with their cliche problems or over 'romantic' situations. This is by far one of the best portrayals of a deep love two people can have for one another. Their insecurities, ideas, problems, and situations are normal (in a sense) and you can experience an intimacy that this modern day world often overlooks and dismisses. I will recommend this book to everyone!</span>"

It truly is hard to find a work of literature that can be straightforward yet sophisticated at the same time. It is truly well written, with a very movie feel to it. (Which I suppose is probably why they made a movie out of it.) Definitely recommend to anyone out there who have a general interest in reading (or even a slight one). Also, while the popularity and relevance of it is still up, I would recommend buying it just to carry around, because girls tend to get very excited when they see this book in your hand. All in all, a great read.</span>"

Some kids DO talk using what may seem as too advanced of a vocabulary for their age.  They are both intelligent and their cancer diagnoses may have caused them to pay attention and/or read more as they battled through treatments.  I'm also a cancer survivor and know that distraction was crucial, so perhaps Hazel and Gus both seized the day over the years.  I really loved this book--it was sad at parts, but beautifully sad, if that is possible.  And unexpected events</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This tremendous love story of courage and wisdom was quickly added to my all time favorite short list. To get on my favorite list, while reading the story you don't stop to think how wonderful writer is creating but you just feel every word, page etc without thinking it is a book. I have to read it again so I remember it , remember it, remember it.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3IGIKRP9OKQ90?ASIN=014242417X	When life gives you lemons.. or worse.... a compelling read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Compelling, inspiring, a difficult subject beautifully written. I could not put this down, though needed tissues through parts. Green has masterfully written about 2 intelligent teens faced with terminal cancer with sentiment, wit, irony, balancing real life issues of children having to grow up too quickly due to the disease, and parents facing the loss of their children.  He must have visited an oncology ward or some cancer support groups ... or is simply quite a gifted insightful author.  Reading the book would not detract from the movie coming out... or vice versa, it is so well crafted.<br/>It reminds me of the poem ... What cancer cannot do....... ..""</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2KJODA40S04HT?ASIN=014242417X	One of the best books I've read!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book kept my attention from beginning to end and is such a beautifully tragic story and a well written book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RTNJLUHU9W64A?ASIN=014242417X	Phenomenal read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Words alone cannot explain how phenomenal this book is. I have never been much of a reader, but I read this book on recommendation from my girlfriend. I could not put it down. The story is raw and true. There isn't any cheesy vampire romance. Definitely a tear-jerker. Well done, John Green.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R102G7GAA7Q1XP?ASIN=014242417X	:)	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Love this book! I picked it up and could not put it down until I finished. It is a serious yet hilarious book filled with spunk and sarcasm.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R32RB9JQJVDBR?ASIN=014242417X	Tear Jerker	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I have heard great things about this book and since the movie recently came out I thought I should read it first. My eleven year old is now reading it and although it is a little mature for her, I felt that if she was going to see the movie she should read the boo first as well. She is not quiet halfway through yet but she is completely engaged and has not put it down. The story made me cry quiet often but it was told very beautifully.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R7I5G1NUXU794?ASIN=014242417X	Great book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I had wanted to read this book for a year and finally got a chance.  I wanted to read it before seeing the movie.  What a great tory of two teens with cancer who fall in love.  The story reminds me of romeo and juliet.  Instead of being from warring families getting in their way their health could tear them apart.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1N968R6S1CQIT?ASIN=014242417X	Great book for teens	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I ordered this book because my 17 year old son asked me to. This is my son who never reads unless it is a school assignment and then it probably really doesn't get  done properly. He is a guys,  guy. He is very athletic, plays football and wrestles, weight lifts and only likes school to socialize I think. Someone suggested he read it, so he ask me to get it for him. He read it and then read it again. He told me it was the best book he ever read, which I guess doesn't say a lot. But the fact that he read it in about 3 days, stayed in his room with no TV says a lot. He couldn't wait for the movie. I think I am going to order other John Green novels. Any book that gets him reading gets 5 stars as far as I am concerned.</span>"

4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2MAH9ZRPSG6OL?ASIN=014242417X	An easy, sad and enjoyable read even for adults reading teen books	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is clearly targeted to the teen market..... Whilst nothing like the Twilight and Hunger Games, it is targeted towards that age group. If you liked those books and movies, then you should like this.  As an adult reading it, it reminded me of My Sisters Keeper.  As usually found, the book is better than the movie.  My rating would be 3.5 ....</span>"

It's not the typical rom com. but so much more. It's that sort of book that changes the way you view your past experiences and makes you appreciate them.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1IZJN4E1Q4CQ4?ASIN=014242417X	So so	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I gave three stars because of the incredibly sad subject matter. For me it was just an ok book. The beginning was good, the middle I found myself skimming and the end very sad. I pictured Augustus as the blond kid from the remake of Sex and the City and it was easy to picture the girl as the girl from Bates Motel as she has a nasal cannula as well. I think their speech patterns and vocab was to reiterate how these two intelligent, unique people were drawn to each other. Could of been better as far as relating to the average reader. Unrealistic I guess you would say as far as the way most teens speak. Morbid graphics were spot on.</span>"

2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3IBPNALH0XNX8?ASIN=014242417X	loves it	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Absolutely loved this book as an easy summer read. From page one I was hooked. Page after page had me choked up, laughing out loud (surprising myself) and just enjoying the time spent reading in general. Last handful of chapters had tears streaming down my face. Very happy I read it, would recommend to anyone looking for a new perspective.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R311ONW96QDRSJ?ASIN=014242417X	One of the best books I have ever read!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">A friend once told me that when he died, he wanted to have his funeral full of people who had known him.  He was making it his life's ambition to be a fun loving person while getting to know as many people as possible.  When he died he wanted everyone he had ever known to come and say goodbye to him as well as talk about what a wonderful man he had been.  I found this thought process strange.  Personally, I didn't really care how many people go to my funeral as I don't plan on being there. I would much rather have a handful of people who really knew me to the core than to be popular among people who only knew the surface me.  My thinking was completely foreign to him as his thinking was to me.  I repeatedly thought about that conversation a lot while reading ""The Fault In Our Stars"".<br/><br/>I am not one to reread things but am considering doing so with this one.  I read this book about a month ago and cannot stop thinking about it.  Most books take awhile before they grab my attention but I am not exaggerating when I say that this one grabbed me on page one.  I started reading and stayed up until the book was finished.<br/><br/>Green has a real talent at writing dialogue between his characters.  The conversations are entertaining yet they have a depth about them.  I found myself going through many emotions as I read through this.  I started out laughing.  By the end I was sobbing.  In the middle I felt many emotions in between the two extremes.  I would recommend this book to anyone.  It would take a completely emotionless person not to be touched on some level.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RV36HBNSOO1DS?ASIN=014242417X	Totally Cried my eyes out but loved the book....	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">What can I say about Fault in the Stars that won't give away the story<br/><br/>Well - it is well written from beginning to end - with some great metaphors...<br/>The characters are so well defined that you will feel like you know them.  - Hazel Grace is a young girl fighting cancer and has a totally different outlook on her disease.  She meets a guy named Augustus (swoon - great book boyfirend) who looks at life in a totally different way as well - the two become friends and eventually become a teen couple.<br/><br/>The story that unfolds from there is an unbeleivable love story that will take your emotions from one end of the spectrum to the other.  One moment you will laugh and the next you will cry.<br/><br/>If you always want a happy not so real life ending in a book then maybe you should skip this one - but if you want to read a witty, great read that throws some of life's crappiness at you - then you will love this book.  Just have the tissues on hand..</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R27W9WXYB59ZLX?ASIN=014242417X	Wonderful	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Condition was great upon arrival. It's obviously a great book, especially for middle and high school girls. I'd recommend it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RQZZLWUV8M0EA?ASIN=014242417X	an easy read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Great book! I enjoyed it thoroughly.  Keep in mind that this is young adult fiction though.  It was not a complicated read- I read it on the beach in a day.  Looking forward to seeing the movie.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3GWNBJNMW2D40?ASIN=014242417X	...That moment when you finish reading a novel and you just don't know what to say	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I started this novel primarily enjoying the exceptional dialogue between the characters, the quirky moments of comedy and the free spirited humor of Augustus and Hazel Grace.  The more I read the more I found myself genuinely interested in them, their story ...their life.  The Fault In Our Stars, written exceptionally well hit just about every nerve imaginable from sadness, to laughter, to anger, to disgusted, to sad to just ...lovingly hated tears of saddened joy.  As a father this book caused me to close it repeatedly just to catch the tears from falling from my own eyes.  All in all, this was a novel that I am very glad I read.  Fiction is fiction regardless of the story line, the plot or the characters and the lives they evolve into.  But GOOD fiction blurs the lines so much until you forget the characters aren't real and you genuinely feel the pain that's bled in black ink through the white pages you so tightly hold in your hand unable to let go.  Real GOOD fiction like this one, makes you think twice.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/REFLCSO6YJW1G?ASIN=014242417X	Couldn't put it down.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Beautifully written. Easy to read. This book had me hooked from the start. The characters were real and like able.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2QMD8RSDFA51B?ASIN=014242417X	Totally worth it!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Amazing. I usually dont enjoy reading too much, but I finished this book in 2 days... Now that says something!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1GPGTM08QAYJV?ASIN=014242417X	Enjoyable and Emotional Read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I'll start with - I think this is an AMAZING book. To its very core. It's a real book - about real life, what happens in real life - you grow up, you mature, you might get sick, you might fall in love, truly fall in love, if you're lucky and then you die. It's a very real book about a very real story. I think John Green is an amazing author, who managed to write an extraordinary book.<br/>And I'm saying all those amazing things yet I'm giving the book four stars. Well, yes.As much as I loved it, and I did, believe me, what I didn't enjoy was reading how a young life slowly faded away in nothingness, and anohter one was to follow, and there was nothing no one can do about it. Yes, I do understand, and I do now this is how life works, that these things happen every day, but that does not mean that I enjoy reading about it. And this is coming from a person who says that a book is not a truly good if it doesn't shatter your heart into million pieces. But this, it was too much at times, and I know some of you will hate me for saying it, but it was. On the other hand, I liked the slim jokes, the type of humor, the type of relationship Hazel and Gus had. Because, like I've said gazillion times in this review, it just felt real, in a way that you can connect to their love.<br/>Well, what I can say at the beginning is that I did not feel that this was my TYPE of books .. not really. The author however really impressed me in a way he portrayed the life of people and specially teenagers who suffer from various types of cancers. I LOVED the way he described the life, the thoughts that the characters always care about and how it is really meaningful of being surrounded by people who love you.<br/>What really surprised me is that I didn't felt sad when it came to Gus 'Augustus's' death part. May be that there is something wrong with me ~~ Or maybe because I already predicted it unconsciously while reading the book.<br/>... because I know myself well and I know HOW Highly Sensitive I am.<br/>I think it was brilliant, but I can't, I just can't give it 5 stars, not because it wasn't an amazing book, but because of me and my perceptions of things, which may look childish and naive to some of you, because these things happen all the time, but this is just me.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1KCN0O7HKYHW?ASIN=014242417X	It was an okay book.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The story was beautiful and the characters were nicely developed but I was not in love with the authors voice or the way he ended the book. The whole time I was reading the book I was waiting for the romantic moments that I was expecting from this book. It was an okay book to read, but not an amazing one.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3AAVV0184K3VD?ASIN=014242417X	Tear-Jerker	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I had always heard this Book was amazing.....I never thought it would be this amazing.....if I could Gove it more stars I would. If you enjoy romances, I suggest this Book. Most people think this Book is all about cancer, but it's more about leaving a legacy behind once we die. John Green is an amazing writer. Can't wait to read more of his novels.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RNOID6J8S744E?ASIN=014242417X	The best book I have ever read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is the best book that I have ever read. Not only is it filled with great ideas, but also with good and legit quality of writing. This is a book that is to be honored and love by all, because some of these events mentioned are actually events that happen in real life. It tells of two normal teenagers whom was battling the drastic disease of cancer. They eventually fall in love and develop a rare type of love, a love that you fight for and a love that you should never give up. My favorite quote in the book was ""I fell in love with him the way he fell asleep, slowly and then all at once."" This book deserves to be past on for generations to come. And great humans don't deserve any love less than this. I think that anyone who doesn't love this book doesn't know what excellent literature is. If you don't love this book, I don't know what book you would love. I just feel like to cuddle with this book and not let it go. Sleep with it and have it everywhere I go. I think this is the best book that has been released since The Bible. I love this book so much. Five stars plus.........</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R39UCEC3JKER0K?ASIN=014242417X	It was ok.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">To be honest I was expecting a bit more. The book didn't really 'speak' to me as much as I hoped. This was an easy read, with a few surprises. For me it wasn't the typical  ""I can't put this down because I have to know what happens next kind of read"", which was a little disapointing. I guess I was hoping for more...it seemed a bit predictable. With that being said, I would still read it again as it truly paints the picture of emotions; good, bad and ugly that a person living with cancer deals with on a daily basis. I really enjoyed the humor in this book, it lightened up an otherwise bleak situation.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3R7ZLQIAWTKQ7?ASIN=014242417X	Not My Favorite John Green Book, But Still Worth A Read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">*3.5*<br/>Now don't get me wrong I love John Green and his writing, but this story just didn't do it for me. I don't know if it was the fact that I listened to it on audiobook (which I found the narrator a little annoying) or if the book is so overhyped and just caused me to already be annoyed with the book or for the fact that it is a story about cancer and its not really my favorite type of book. A lot of times I find cancer/terminal disease books to be very similar. I understand and appreciate it is a story to be told and the disease is a very big issue, I am not saying any of this stuff to belittle or make the topic not seem important, it just is not my type of book, but I digress.<br/><br/>John Green is an amazing story teller and greatly brought to life the struggles and complications that come with children with cancer. I felt that the characters had great and witty personalities. Although faced with great difficulties Hazel, Augustus and even Isaac were able to have a life and laugh although struggling and having to face the impending fact of dying. I did feel that sometimes the characters were a little annoying and pretentious at times.<br/><br/>Overall this was a sad yet heart warming story of love and life and really gave you an insight into the life and struggles of a teenager living with cancer that brought up extremely deep and thoughtful questions about life, love and death.</span>"

This. Is. My. Favorite. Book. Ever. I am very much a fan girl and I fell in love with the character Augustus. I will reread this book ever chance I get. I finished it in one sitting.

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R16GQBNT3KBGR3?ASIN=014242417X	Absolutely lovely book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I found out about John Green from his work on Youtube.  I loved his voice and perspective (and that of his brother), and figured I would like anything that he wrote.<br/><br/>I'm a 33 year old male, so I'm far from the most likely target demographic for this book, and yet I absolutely loved it.  It is funny, smart, and while in a synopsis might seem cliché, it never reads remotely that way.  Since I have heard John for quite a long time on Youtube, I could hear his voice and frequent mannerisms in many passages, but seemingly John predicted this view and introduced a book author as a character (I will not spoil about his role in the novel).<br/><br/>So it made me laugh, it made me cry, and it was fun to read.  What else could I ask of a novel ?  I wonder if the movie will capture the feeling of the book, it seems tricky but maybe they made it.  If only to make a minor critique I felt the characters were mostly far more mature and witty than their age would suggest.  There are several views around this, that their hard experiences matured them early, that I was a bit of an immature dummy at the time, or a bit a both – but they felt to me in their mid-20s and not in their mid teens.  But even if my feeling on this is right, there are so many things infantilizing youth today that maybe the right thing is to drive expectations upwards.<br/><br/>I strongly recommend this novel, and I will certainly search of other works from John Green.<br/><br/>Okay.  Don't forget to be awesome!</span>"

I would recommend this book to anyone and everyone and I would also go and see the movie over and over.  John Green is an amazing author and his books are amazing also.  And just so you know this book is an absolute tear jerker so, just, beware.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R33P7NZVOTDJHW?ASIN=014242417X	A Small Infinity	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is the type of book that will resonate sporadically throughout my life. John Green's writing took me on a 300-odd page journey of a small infinity--an infinity I wanted simultaneously to stretch as long as I could and one I could rarely put down once I started reading.<br/><br/>It's a quick read but a powerful one. For a YA book it is something that anyone could find meaning in. I smiled and cried and sometimes both at the same time. There is poetry that speaks of reality and dialogue that is mundanely adorable in the way that the adolescent years often are.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RA4KKZK98XR5A?ASIN=014242417X	Decent story but unrealistic	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">It seems the storyline moves too quickly. Without giving away any of the book, the main characters do not seem to know each other long enough to do or say the things that they do to each other. The main characters grow into a relationship in mere months which in reality would have taken years to develop.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1A8TXILBXL00G?ASIN=014242417X	Not perfect but noteworthy	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I enjoyed the writing style tremendously, and the wit and humor of the characters.  It's greatest strength is its wealth of insights into the psyche of a young person who is several years out from a ""miracle"" she was never expected to survive, what it is like to be chronically debilitated in this world where health is the norm, and the mental outlook of the family who must be prepared for each day of life as well as the constant possibility of death.<br/><br/> However, was left disappointed by the plot arc--somehow that didn't really work for me. While it was almost a given that a relapse of one or both of the children would  factor in, some type of transformation needed to occur. Otherwise, it's just life at its most painful, not literature.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3VHDAGX5NR2O8?ASIN=014242417X	Savor it slowly	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This was an achingly wonderful story. No need to dissect the plot, 18K readers have done that before me. But I heartily recommend the AUDIO version. Hazel's character and point of view are so incredibly complicated--ironic, snarky, vulnerable, despairing, tender, impatient, heroic, defensive--that unless you're going to read the book several times to pick up every nuance and millisecond of her incredibly sardonic delivery--you might as well just take it slow!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2GLT20PDA2F9X?ASIN=014242417X	No fault with The Fault in Our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I cannot express how much I loved The Fault in Our Stars. I totally didn’t expect to like John Green’s writing. I’d heard from a friend there are some crude things in at least one of his other books. I don’t do crude (no matter how realistically YA it might be) so I sort of forgot about it.<br/><br/>Then she recommended The Fault in Our Stars to me. Oh my word! I’d  just like to publicly apologize to John Green for making an assumption before actually reading something he wrote. I read The Fault in Our Stars last year (before I even knew the movie was coming out) and it was unlike any book I’ve ever read.<br/><br/>Let’s get a couple things straight. Yes, The Fault in Our Stars is about teens with cancer. No, The Fault in Our Stars is not a “cancer book”. I feel I can speak freely on this a little because my mom passed away from cancer two years ago, and my grandmother before that. To put it bluntly-cancer sucks. And John Green captures that fact perfectly. He doesn’t tiptoe around the matter with a bunch of ooey gooey Lifetime television-type stuff. He writes cancer real. The constant-ER-trip, late-night-in-the-waiting-room, I-wish-everyone-would-stop-crying-every-time-they-see-me kind of cancer. Cancer from the perspective of a teenage girl who just wants to be normal. Who doesn’t want to be a walking time-bomb. Good read. Real read. Read it!<br/><br/>Why did I like The Fault in Our Stars?<br/><br/>A) Real characters with flaws. I know I say this a lot, but this element is key if I’m going to like a book. Hazel is jaded but undergoes transformation. Augustus is swoon-worthy and yet has his own issues (I won’t ruin it for you). I even related to the parents in this book. I’ve never had a child with cancer, but I had a parent with it. I could totally relate to Hazel’s mom in so many heart-wrenching ways.<br/><br/>B) Quick read. The Fault in Our Stars isn’t epic. You probably won’t see people dressed up like the characters lined up along the sidewalk outside the theater on opening day (I’m talking to YOU Darth Vader). It was just a good book. I read it in a day. I’ve heard authors say they don’t like hearing that for all the blood, sweat and tears they put into writing the book. Believe me, John Green, when I tell you this is the hugest compliment I can give you. Reading The Fault in Our Stars in one day means I didn’t clean or cook or do any of the normal mom and wife stuff. It means I cared more about finding out what happened to Hazel and Augustus than I cared about my hair.<br/><br/>C) It’s going to be a movie! Okay, so this is technically not a reason to like the book, but it sort of is. I mean, if the writing is good enough to become a movie, that says something, right? A book becoming a movie is the greatest treat ever for a reader such as myself. It means I get to see everything that’s been inside my head for the past year on the big screen.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3VF2G99OI7MZK?ASIN=014242417X	It will not make you love literature, but you'll like the characters and feel their story. Not bad, but not good either.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">It is a fast-read, by which I mean the literary equivalent of fast-food. Just like by mixing sugar and fat you take the shortest surest way to making a very likable meal, mixing adolescents, love, death, incurable sickness and a trip to Europe (and of all hedonistic places, to Amsterdam) is an almost fail-proof tactic to enjoy popular success. It was deemed to be a hit, and the soon-to-be-released movie will help turn this novel into a current landmark of teen literature.<br/>While this is not bad at all (""teen literature"" means teens read it, which is excellent!), it does not make for a masterpiece or a though-provoking game-changing ""I fell in love with literature after reading it"" book.<br/>As an avid reader of both fiction and non-fiction, I feel slightly uneasy seeing this book generated by now a staggering 18,000 reviews (this is before the movie, I can only imagine it will double afterwards), whilst ""The Brothers Karamazov"" has a little over 200 reviews, ""Crime and Punishment"" is at 900 and ""Jane Eyre"" at 3,000. Somehow the romantic in me hopes teens will continue to be changed and enticed by real character-builders as Dostoyevsky and Tolstoi and Balzac, not by nice stories and cute actor / characters.<br/>But don't misunderstand - the book is nice and easy, I read it in one day sitting on the beach, and trust me - I don't enjoy reading on the beach, the sun makes me sleepy and drowsy. The characters are likable, whenever they talk I can easily picture sixteen year old beautiful people sharing their hopes and thoughts and love. But the dialogue is flat, in the sense you feel nothing beneath the words; the words speak their whole meaning, nothing is left for guessing or suggestion, the characters don't peel their complex skins throughout the novel. What you see is what you get, and what makes it so likable is that you see a lot of pain and love. But that is never not enough for a great novel.</span>"

The characters are portrayed as real people with disabilities, but it doesn't define them.  This book is a work of art and every word draws your attention on the journey of these characters. It's a celebration of life, love and other emotional themes. I even read a part when Hazel can't breathe and the process of her going through it was difficult.

The story starts off with Hazel explaining that she has stage IV of thyroid cancer when she was thirteen and by some miracle she survived. As the story continues, Hazel meets Augustus at the cancer support group and they start hanging out. During the middle of the night, she has a series of explosions in her head and the doctor says her lungs were filled with water. At one point, Augustus confesses that he found out that his cancer has returned. His health deteriorates quickly and he is lost and vulnerable. The story is about young love and how there are always people who are there for you no matter what.</span>"

It takes quite a bit to make me cry. From about 3/4 of the way to the end of the book I had tears in my eyes and I was crying by the last 3 pages. This book is so unbelievably good. I think it shows a young relationship very well. The awkward conversations, her thoughts about Gus, her hilarious commentary all make this book so sweet, and then there's the sad parts that are actually unbelievably sad. This isn't a generic love story to me. It's an believable love story. I love it, Hazel and Gus. I hate Mr. Green for making me cry. Please read this book. Please.</span>"

This genius is because it makes one think very long and very hard about important things. The characters are mild but intriguing. Their actions serve more to illustrate several points for consideration rather than to come to a conclusion (an ending of either a happy or a sad sort). The writing is elaborate and sophisticated. The metaphorical resonances are astounding. I did not cry. But you might. Would I read more by John Green? Not sure. Would I recommend this book to others? Not sure.

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RZTH5QHWYLJSW?ASIN=014242417X	Didn't live up to the hype for me	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I was pretty underwhelmed by this book. At first, I gave it 4 stars simply because it kept me up late reading and I was mad when I couldn’t finish it because I had to go to bed (and I’m 39). But then, after I finished it and got some distance from it, I realized there were several things about it that bugged me.<br/><br/>First of all, the characters. As many people have pointed out, they are pretentious and unrealistic. I actually didn’t have a problem with the way they talked; my problem was that Augustus and Hazel, and sometimes Hazel’s parents, all talked alike, which made them all less believable. I can maybe buy Augustus and Hazel putting on their Super Witty and Existential personas in the face of being Teenagers with Cancer, but I didn’t feel like we ever saw them being authentic, even with each other. Especially Augustus -- everything he says is super calculated and rehearsed, until towards the end when circumstances force him to let his guard down. And I just felt embarrassed for Hazel, carrying on about the ghettoization of scrambled eggs and using made-up words like “zombically.”<br/><br/>And then the plot. I was surprised that there wasn’t more to it. Not a lot happens. The whole business with Van Houten seemed pretty silly. Especially when he randomly pops up later -- not once, but twice.<br/><br/>It’s not a bad book, and there some some sentiments in it that I really liked, but I have been seeing the ads for the upcoming moving calling it “the greatest love story of the decade,” and I think that’s pushing it.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3UOXKGJKDVWR8?ASIN=014242417X	Thanks for Ripping My Heart Out...Multiple Times	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I can honestly say this is my now all time favorite book. I can also say that no other book has ever made me bawl like a baby multiple times to the point where I had to set the book down and compose myself before I could continue reading. I, unfortunately, waited for it to be released as a paperback and I am a little pissed at myself that I didn't just spend a little more so I could have read it sooner than I did. I feel like TFIOS is an enjoyed book for anyone of any age. (Okay, maybe not too young because it does deal with a few mature topics.) If you haven't read it, READ IT! Especially if you plan on seeing the movie. I am sure the movie will be great and I will be seeing it Thursday night with a full box of tissues in my hand, but the book is just beautiful.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R38KRDRYIB4BB0?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in Our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">After reading so many rave reviews for this book I was expecting to very much enjoy it. I didn't. The characters felt flat, at least I couldn't connect with them. So even though I was able to read the story quickly, I just didn't care about what happened with the characters. Yes it was sad, I know that, but I'm not a person who cries easily and almost always have to feel a connection with a character for that to happen. Some things in the story made me laugh, but overall it was just an okay read. I'm glad I read it, but it's not one I'll be reading again.</span>"

2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3RIWRU1CSEMH2?ASIN=014242417X	A sad but GREAT Read!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I saw the trailer for the movie so I came on here and read some reviews. Took the leap and went out and got it and I'm so so happy I did, finished it in a handful of days (I have a toddler, lol). This book hooked me right away. I laughed, cried and thought about life. It hit home for me cause I live 30/40 mins from Indy and my nephew went through chemo and Dr. Appts at a young young age and made it and is healthy and happy. I had just came into the relationship with my now hubby when he was on the last leg of it all and that little boy inspired me, still does. He truly is amazing and our family is closer cause of him. This book reminds me of that. It made me look at my little girl and think I'm so lucky to have her and she's healthy.<br/>This is not just a love story (and it is a good good love story. Very touching) it shows the pain people go through when cancer is involved. And not just the diagnosed person but family, friends and lovers too. And I love how this book shows you more then the standard cancers you hear about but it shows you there's others that aren't heard of often.<br/>This book is beautiful, written well and I will read it again and again.<br/>READ IT!!!</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R8JJRI0YLZSLC?ASIN=014242417X	There are good reasons why this book is a Best Seller	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">For some reason, I was unaware of the buzz surrounding ""The Fault In Our Stars"" until last week.  I encountered someone on the subway reading the paperback.  When I asked about the book, she informed me that it had been made into a movie that was about to open, and that it was one of the best books she had read in a long while.  Her praise for the novel was so specific and so effusive that I immediately ordered a copy.<br/><br/>John Green has written a very touching and unsentimental book about two teenagers who choose to live life to the fullest while dancing under the dangling sword of Damocles that is a diagnosis of cancer.  Unlike the cloying ""Love Story"" of a generation ago, this book captures the heart of a girl and a boy who meet in a cancer support group meeting in a church basement - ""The Heart of Jesus.""  Their journeys of discovery, exploration, growth, affirmation and acceptance are inspirational without being condescending or cliched.  This is a book with a lot of ""metas.""  There are metaphors for love and for life and for disease.  There are meta-conversations about ""cancer books."" And there are the inevitable metastases that hover over each cancer patient like a phantom's shadow..<br/><br/>This book is both heart-breaking and uplifting, and is richly deserving of its current status as a favorite of young readers and older adults alike.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1HO7GHG6PUA1Q?ASIN=014242417X	Beautifully written, an amazing love story.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Just... I just… The feels man. This book gave me the feels…<br/><br/>Okay I have recovered, almost.<br/><br/>Well if you haven’t heard of this book, you have been living under a rock. This book has been constantly talked about either because of the movie or because of the feels that it makes you feel… Now I am totally not joking and exaggerating when I say this but I was on the train reading this book on my kindle, at one point I honestly felt so sad and had tears in my eyes that I had to put my kindle away and just collect myself. Call me a weirdo but this is one you have to read to understand.<br/><br/>Now on to the book, the story is told in the point of view of Hazel Grace Lancaster. Hazel is your typical teenager who watches America's Next Top Model marathons but also goes through her day attached to a machine that helps her to breathe due to her bad lungs,. Her days are numbered due to cancer and she is waiting for the day where she will just disappear. Instead of being portrayed as weak and giving up she takes her illness in her stride and just gets on with it basically, which is what I love about her. She is refreshingly honest and whilst she is pessimistic most of the time, Augustus brightened her life in the short time that she had left. Augustus is the main reason for my feels for this book, honestly he’d made my heart melt just by his charm and sweetness. He is such an honest charectar and honestly just my dream guy, with his wit and positivity. It's impossible not to fall in love with him. Augustus is a boy who isn't afraid to show his feelings for Hazel, he chases after her regardless of the fact that she doesn't want him to fall in love with her. You have to admire a boy who knows what he wants and chases after it with all his power.<br/><br/>Now combine these two characters and what do you get? A heck of a love story and an emotionally gripping and funny book. Their conversations were the most entertaining things ever. At times completely nutty and didn't really feel as though a teenager would say them but still so very interesting and honestly made me think so much and besides maybe some teenagers do think and speak like Hazel and Augustus. Who am I to say all teenagers are intellectually the same? One minor criticism I have is that sometimes Hazel and Augustus think WAY into things e.g Hazel wondering why breakfast foods are classified as breakfast foods, why can't they be eaten at dinner? When she did go off on the tangent sometimes I did find myself rolling my eyes but also felt that it was part of her quirky character.<br/><br/>Overall this book was an amazing read and will have you reaching for a box of tissues towards the end. (I'm not going to spoil it but guys ITS SO DAMN SAD) I am looking forward to the movie and I really hope it will do the book justice.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R378G3D1XFB2I6?ASIN=014242417X	Good book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I was hesitant to pick up this book due to the subject matter - how can any book about cancer, especially kids with cancer - be anything but utterly depressing?  And I did not want to be depressed.  Still, some of the critics' reviews used words like ""levity"", &amp; ""humor"", &amp; ""irreverence"", so with that, &amp; all the positive reviews, I decided to read it.  It is a very good book, with insights into the world of young cancer victims that are poignant &amp; thought-provoking.  Yes it's sad, yes it's scary in light of the preponderance of cancer in our society, but it is, unfortunately, a reality.  However, John Green takes that reality &amp; gives us a story rife with, yes, humor &amp; irreverent wit that make the characters rise up above their situations, if only for brief moments.  And allows us, the readers, to experience, from the safety of the boundaries of a novel, a world we can only hope we will never know. Good book, quick read.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R8QP80LE1C53G?ASIN=014242417X	Kids don't talk this way	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">It was like watching episodes of Dawson's Creek. Come on. I mean, the story was very touching but their level of discourse made the entire thing SO unbelievable.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3EIT2F0A91IL1?ASIN=014242417X	Both Literary and Authentically YA	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Basics:<br/><br/>Hazel is dying. She’s dying increasingly slowly due to the latest experimental treatment being tested on her lung cancer, and she’s acutely aware that we’re all dying at one rate or another, but she’s still dying considerably faster than average. In spite of her hopes to cause as little damage on the way out as possible, she and Augustus, a boy from her youth cancer patient support group, can’t help reaching out to each other, sharing their fight and their final musings on the nature of the universe.<br/><br/>The Downside:<br/><br/>The nearest I can come to a concrete criticism is that symbolism and analysis thereof is occasionally forced into more places than it feels natural. More than that, though, the downside for me was admittedly completely beyond the book’s control. Hard as I try not to let myself do this, with the massive hype and praise being rained down upon it, I found myself expecting it to completely blow my mind. Instead it was just really good.<br/><br/>The Upside:<br/><br/>It was, as stated above, really good. Though it must be noted that I have never fought a protracted battle against a life-threatening illness or been extremely close to anyone who has, Hazel’s contemplation of her situation seems, to this non-expert, strikingly honest.<br/><br/>The writing itself pulls off being both authentically YA and unabashedly literary. It doesn’t hold its teenage characters or their teenage qualities at the judgmental arm’s length common in “serious” portrayals of teens, but nor does it underestimate the mental capacities of its teenage readers. It dares both to reference formal philosophy and to criticize it, all within Hazel and Augustus’s believable banter, in a way reminiscent of A Little Romance.<br/><br/>Hazel and Augustus are both brilliant and charming people, and their relationship manages to overcome the certainty in the back of everyone’s mind, including theirs, that this story will not end well, making it impossible not to attach to them anyway.<br/><br/>It’s a story that compels the reader at gunpoint to be glad to be alive, and it succeeds.</span>"

I cried at some parts, which I never do for a book, but I found myself thinking of how that must be. I did found some of the dialog some what odd, but it didn't bother me. I still enjoyed the story until the end.</span>"

While I loved it every time, I found that I loved it so much I needed to hold it in my hands. So I bought it. There's something about a book. This book is wonderful. It's just a good book, with a good writer, that makes you feel good. And sad. It makes you feel like you want to fall in love with a boy who has cancer, or who doesn't, I don't know. I recommend this book to people of all ages. It's a page-turner to say the least. I love it.</span>"

With that said I still really enjoyed it (didn't cry though surprisingly, maybe because I already knew what was coming).

(Except the NSA ) but I'm gonna voice my opinion! Now  after that way too long introduction my actual review. It was good but I don't understand the hype. Yes, it's a story that does get told a lot and does have its moments that made me laugh. I didn't cry though. Yes, it's a really sad story but no other than it's some what original theme I don't see it. I would have liked too get to have known the characters better. I mean come on they're making sequels too EVERYTHING why can't I learn more about Augustus's girlfriend or the author and what went on.(yes we do get to learn what's going on but it's SOOOO barebones) but the ending was a nice touch.(SPOILERS I warned you. He ended it just like hazel's favorite book so I understand why he did it but I want a journey not some little escape) any ways I just don't see it. Now I'm done I'm probably gonna get massacred now. Whatever BRING IT ON HATERS!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/ROYECFLD50O9E?ASIN=014242417X	Absolute Perfection	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I loved everything about this book. It arrived exactly when the site estimated it would and in perfect condition. The story itself is just fantastic. I can't say enough about how much I loved it. John Green has a way of making the characters and sequence of events completely believable as if it's actually happening while you're reading about it. I love that the characters show so many different sides of their personalities in such a short amount of time (the book is only a couple hundred pages) and the story develops so naturally. The relationship between Hazel and Gus feels completely natural and develops slowly, and quickly at the same time. This is one of those books that affects and sticks with you forever. I am so happy I own it so I can re-read it whenever I want, as I've already read it three times and am sure it will be read many more.</span>"

4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1X0CJ6OVHMOYU?ASIN=014242417X	Surprisingly Good!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I don't usually read love stories,  unless there is some sort of paranormal twist to it, but this one was just on every list I could find, so I decided to download it on Audible and listen to it. I am sooooo glad I did. The characters are believable. Hazel Grace is just precious. I actually looked to see if An Imperial Affliction was a real book. It is humorous, yet poignant. Keeps you thinking long after the story is over. Some of the quotes are amazing. Going to see the movie next Friday. I do not give many books a 5 Star rating.</span>"

4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1R7BBNHD4LL76?ASIN=014242417X	Couldn't put the book down!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book has all the makings of a great story - love, tragedy, plot twists - on and on. Yet, I give this book 4 stars because the narration of Hazel (hear me out on this) does not fall within the capacity of a 16 old.<br/>John Green makes it clear that both Hazel and Gus are intelligent; however, from the view point of Hazel - CAUTION SPOILER ALERT - she is taking a plethora of cancer meds, watching television for endless hours, sleeping when she isn't watching TV, facing depression, pulled from high school from the age of thirteen, most importantly, her brain throughout most of the novel is deoxygenated due to the cancer causing fluid to accumulate in her lungs. Not to sound like a ""smart-a"", but Hazel's life style/circumstances certainly do not stimulate healthy brain function (even if you happen to be a prodigy). Hazel's thought provoking, but more so, mind blowing statements are surpassing for 16 year old of her circumstances, please continue to hear me out on this one.<br/>Certainly, these statements are believable coming from a 30 year old graduate of Yale - John Green, maybe even J.R.R. Tolkien! (for instance the theme of jealousy - Hazel's statement about yearning to fly on the plane and human's desire for more). Improbable conversations aside, I believe most will be compelled to plow through this heart moving story unbroken.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This review is from my 12 year old daughter Gigi: It was very detailed and made me think of things in a different way. I connected with the characters. I can't wait to see the movie!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RTHIOKE8Q2YXF?ASIN=014242417X	Irreverent & Charming	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I was surprised how much I loved this book.  This was the first book in a long time that made me WANT to cry; I do not cry easily.  I was hesitant to read this because I wondered if it would be a forced tearjerker or a sappy love story.  It was unexpectedly witty, genuinely touching, and heartbreakingly tragic.  The two main characters, Hazel Grace and Augustus Waters, were wonderfully sincere.  She was diagnosed with thyroid cancer and he had osteosarcoma, which cost him the loss of his leg.  I admired the way they handled life’s problems—with humor.  They had a choice to wallow in misery and cry all the time or laugh about their misery and they chose the latter.  When Hazel’s Dad asked Gus if he was a survivor he answered: “I am.  I didn’t cut this fella off for the sheer unadulterated pleasure of it, although it is an excellent weight-loss strategy.  Legs are heavy!”<br/><br/>I don’t know much about the world of cancer so this was interesting.  Kids seem to grow up all too quickly when they have a serious illness they live with.  Hazel wanted to make her parents happy.  She worried about being a burden to them and referred to herself as a “grenade” just waiting to go off and leave them devastated.  I enjoyed her parents with their caring demeanor and their quirks.  Her Mom celebrated half-birthdays and her Dad was sentimental crying all the time.<br/><br/>The relationship between Hazel and Gus developed naturally unlike cheesy chick flicks—romantic comedy crap— that I avoid like the plague.  Let me tell you how I really feel.  Gag!  Anyway, she described Gus: “Look, let me just say it: He was hot” and “his voice was low, smoky, and dead sexy.”  He was sarcastic, which I loved.  Irreverent and charming—an interesting combination of characteristics.  Gus: “You’re killing my vibe here, Hazel Grace.  I’m trying to observe young love in its many splendored awkwardness.”  Hazel: “I think he’s hurting her boob.”  Gus: “Yes, it’s difficult to ascertain whether he is trying to arouse her or perform a breast exam.”  I could not stop laughing.<br/><br/>Some other moments which gave me a good laugh:<br/><br/> Together they decided on a newspaper advertisement to give away her childhood swing set “Lonely, Vaguely Pedophilic Swing Set Seeks Butts of Children.”<br/><br/>He was a horrific driver, having failed the test 3 times.  His instructor finally concluded “your driving is unpleasant, but it isn’t technically unsafe.”  So funny.<br/><br/>Hazel opened the door and Gus looked down at her printed shirt, smiled, and said “Funny.”  Hazel: “Don’t call my boobs funny.”  To which her Mom responded in the background “Right here.”  It reminded me of my teen years because I would have done something similar to that in front of my Mom because I was so comfortable around her, like she was my friend.<br/><br/>Their friend Isaac had eye cancer and one eye had been cut out as a kid.  He wore thick glasses that made his eyes look huge “like his whole head was basically just this fake eye and this real eye staring at you.”  After he had eye surgery he was asked how his eyes were: “Oh, excellent.  I mean, they're not in my head is the only problem.""  Gus then said ""Not to one-up you or anything, but my body is made out of cancer."" I love these boys!<br/><br/>Peter Van Houten was a wack job.  I could hardly understand a word that came out of his drunken poetic mouth.  Occasionally he cracked me up.  Concerning Gus: ""He seemed so intelligent in print.”  During an inopportune moment: “We gotta fake pray.”<br/><br/>Even though this story dealt with suffering, loss, and grief, it did so with a fine balance of emotion and humor which in the end made it uplifting.  The snappy humor amid this profoundly sad situation made all the difference.  The author celebrates life while acknowledging its pain.  Hazel narrated this point “I was living with cancer not dying of it, that I mustn’t let it kill me before it kills me.”  Gus encouraged her, and me, to live a better life.</span>"

4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R127U6Q854QM4X?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in our writing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars is a sad love story about two teens who have cancer that fall in love. As the tragic book takes readers through the daily rituals of chemo, heartache, death of friends, and even worse, pain readers have a full on experience of the struggle of cancer. Hazel Grace and Gus show readers what it’s like to live knowing time can run out any moment. I didn’t enjoy this book as much as I thought I would because I don’t think it lived up to the hype it was receiving on social media and from other readers.<br/> Hazel Grace and Gus bond over a book called Imperial Affliction all throughout  The Fault in Our Stars. They build a relationship off of a book they both read and constantly compare every situation to something in this book. For readers this could be seen as extremely irritating because they have no idea what this book they are bonding over is even about. It’s not your classic fall in love happy ending book but it didn’t seem realistic. It was hard for me as a reader to understand the connection the two characters had when I had no idea what they were talking about.<br/> I liked how this book really made you think about your time here on Earth and who you leave an impression on. It made me step back and look at the big picture, and knowing that you only have a limited time but in that time, if you spend it right, you can have your own infinity.</span>"

2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R17WYRRSBH7NXQ?ASIN=014242417X	Beautiful, lovable, meaningful, smart. What more can you ask for?	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I first fell for John Green through his internet videos which explain any number of topics in his trademark excitable way, each just a few minutes long, but elucidating (with extraordinary nuance) healthcare, science, literature, art, what have you. (Go check them out - they are amazing.) So I knew he was a genius, but then I heard that he was also a remarkable and successful writer (barf).<br/><br/>“the spring air just on the cold side of perfect…”<br/><br/>“The Fault In Our Stars” is a young adult novel about Hazel and Augustus, two Midwestern teenagers with cancer who meet at a support group, and fall in love. The book went ballistic on the charts. An international phenomenon, it’s now been made into a movie.<br/><br/>“You put the killing thing right between your teeth, but you don’t give it the power to do its killing.”<br/><br/>This marks the first time I read a book after watching the trailer for the movie (but not the movie itself - it’s not out yet) and found my visual imagination limited to what I had seen in the trailer. I can’t tell whether this is better than my sister’s disappointment (“I had imagined him hotter”) or worse (there is something lost after all, like my brain actually using itself).<br/><br/>“The dead are visible only in the terrible lidless eye of memory.”<br/><br/>TFIOS is remarkable for many reasons. The language is fabulous: smart, thoughtful, hip, beautiful, inventive.<br/><br/>“Augustus slammed on the brakes, tossing me into the triangular embrace of the seat belt.”<br/><br/>The characters are deep, surprising, changeling, compelling. The plot is thrilling. You cannot stop until the end and then you’ll be bereft it’s over. You might be bereft before that (it is about the Emperor of Maladies after all - another book on my ever lengthening reading list).<br/><br/>“It was a cloudy day, typical Indiana: the kind of weather that boxes you in.”<br/><br/>TFIOS is also a love story that succumbs neither to cheese nor ease. Much of YA lit has both. You can see it coming a mile away, the trite (but true!) words spoken a million times before. But TFIOS accomplishes that rare thing, originality with heart.<br/><br/>“a voice that made my skin feel more like skin…”<br/><br/>“As he read, I fell in love the way you fall asleep: slowly, and then all at once.”<br/><br/>“The only solution was to try to unmake the world.”<br/><br/>My one critique was that Hazel (especially) and Augustus were too clever, a la Dawson’s Creek, where everyone always has a ready precociously brilliant comment/quote on hand. In TFIOS, this takes a few forms, not just with way too witty repartee, but also the recitation of entire passages of poetry and literature. I know our hero girl is an obsessive re-reader who stays home alone for years, but it still struck me throughout the book. Because I liked TFIOS so much, I’ll chalk it to down to jealousy and my own mediocre memorizing talents. Here’s one gorgeous (perfectly timed) pronouncement (by Wallace Stevens):<br/><br/>“I do not know which to prefer,<br/>The beauty of inflections<br/>Or the beauty of innuendos,<br/>The blackbird whistling<br/>Or just after.”<br/><br/>I highly recommend TFIOS. It’s beautiful, lovable, meaningful, smart. What more can you ask for?</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RNKFN6ULOF6BC?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in Our Stars reviewed	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars by John Green reached #1  young adult fiction book within a few weeks of being published. Green has since sold over a million copies and signed a movie deal for The Fault in Our Stars. Green tells the story of a teenager with cancer who has given up until she meets Augustus.  John Green deals with the issues of teenager cancer and young terminal love.<br/><br/>  In The Fault in Our Stars, sick with thyroid cancer, Hazel Grace goes to a “boring” support group like usual but this time she meets Augustus Waters. Hazel must have an oxygen tank with her at all times to help her breathe while Augustus lost one of his legs from the knee down, due to his fight with cancer.  Augustus cares for her while showing her a whole new world. Gradually, they fall in love but Augustus’s cancer comes back strong. Hazel is faced with watching the boy she loves struggle for his life.<br/><br/>  ""While teaching about teenage cancer and featuring a teenage love story, Green's intense novel is only partially successful in achieving its purpose. Green succeeds in using Hazel’s oxygen  tank as a blatant symbol for the restrictions she has. She thinks “[her] freedom is circumscribed some by the oxygen” as she is trying to kiss Augustus (Green 206). Hazel wants to be able to be a normal girl and breathe like a normal person. Green uses the her oxygen tank as a way to help readers to understand that she has very serious limitations with her disease. Hazel admits that “it always hurts not to breathe like a normal person, incessantly reminding your lungs to be lungs” (Green 45). By using the word “incessantly”, Green reminds his readers that Hazel is always struggling to breathe. Green also uses language like a teenager would speak to achieve his purpose.<br/><br/>  Green realistically portrays teenagers through convincing teenage dialogue between Hazel and Augustus and her parents like a teenager would think and speak. When Hazel is given a chance to go meet her favorite author, Peter VanHoran, she says without thinking about her illness, “I have to go”(Green 79). She acts like most teenagers would if given the chance to see their idol. Hazel demonstrates the impulses of teenagers in that she is not concerned by the little details, but rather she is solely focused on her trip. After Hazel accepts Augustus’s invitation to Amsterdam, he says, “I bet you say that to all boys who finance your international travel”(Green 90). Green uses sarcasm through dialogue to sound like a teenager. Green uses this relatable language to convey his theme of no matter how bad things get, there is always hope.<br/><br/>  Green does not succeed at foreshadowing future events in his book. This failure at foreshadowing causes the book to be predictable and boring at times because the readers can easily predict what is going to happen next. Such as, when Hazel is not allowed to go to Amsterdam due to her illness, she tells Augustus, “One doctor thinks its a bad idea”(Green 118). Obviously, Hazel is going to find a way to get to Amsterdam with Augustus. Also, when Augustus says, “I could be way worse”(Green 169). Readers can easily tell that his disease could come back and ruin his relationship with Hazel. John Green’s book The Fault in Our Stars is very predictable which makes it boring for the readers.<br/><br/>  The smash hit, The Fault in Our Stars, resounds teenagers with its relatable language along with its strong symbolism. However, the weak foreshadowing may cause some readers to stop reading. The Fault in Our Stars is a powerful story about two teenagers with cancer who fall in love. Though cancer is apparent in Green’s book, it does not prevent the protagonist Hazel from living her life and even finding love.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">John Green has presented two ill-fated characters with compassion and deep emotion.  They are highly intelligent teenagers, almost enviable in their love for one another.  There is nothing sappy or juvenile about this book, and I devoured it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2TXTC00SQ7W9M?ASIN=014242417X	No Faults in This Stellar Story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in our Stars embodies a new love story for this generation that explores the wonders of “being alive and in love.” The story is narrated by a sixteen-year-old cancer patient named Hazel, whose parents force her to attend a support group. There, she subsequently meets and falls in love with the seventeen-year-old Augustus Waters, an ex-basketball player and cancer survivor. Through the lives of Hazel and Gus, Green shows us that we are all mortal, and that in fact, we are all terminal; however, we get to decide how we spend the moments that create our life. It allows us to reflect on our own lives and how we spend our time either wasting them away or actually accomplishing something; it all depends on our actions and decisions. John Green’s novel takes you on the roller-coaster ride of emotions of Hazel Grace, and by the enamoring end, it has you bawling your eyes out.<br/><br/>As Hazel Grace stated, “Sometimes, you read a book and it fills you with this weird evangelical zeal, and you become convinced that the shattered world will never be put back together unless and until all living humans read the book.” I feel that this quote really captures the essence of this John Green novel as the rawness of the passion between our two main characters enrapture you and makes you want to share the book with everyone. Also, once I started TFIOS, I was not able to put it down until I reached that 313th page. Therefore, I give this book 5 out of 5 stars and recommend it to anyone who is looking for a good read.<br/><br/>Not only is it a fabulous book, but it has also been made into a movie, which comes out June 6th! And as my English teacher would say, “That is awesome!” So go indulge yourself in John Green's captivating world of words.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3BAX56S8RPXTN?ASIN=014242417X	Touching and real	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is on the Scholastic Reading Counts book list.  My teenager (who doesn't ""love"" reading) read this book within two day!  I was so shocked, I decided to read it, too.  I can see not only why teenagers ""get it"", but also why adults do.  Cancer is a serious illness.  It was refreshing to see the characters (Agustus, Hazel and Isaac) grow and evolve.  There were true funny moments, real moments and tear-worthy moments (and I am not a ""crier"", but I couldn't help it).  I don't want to give spoilers from the story.  It you are looking for a quick read that is real, I highly recommend.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R22M2IQVJG3ABC?ASIN=014242417X	*Sniff *Sniff	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">My thoughts: Stunningly beautiful, even the second time 'round.<br/><br/>I've read, The Fault In Our Stars, sometime late of last year and remember knowing how the story was going to end. Now, usually I would have shy away from such premise, but have reading other John Green novels, I knew it was impossible. So here it is, my first impressions and thoughts after have reading it again.<br/><br/>My first impression<br/><br/>As I've mentioned, I knew how the story was going to end, as it does with most cancer-based plots. This is the first book, I have picked up and wanted to read and experience the “filling” – Gus and Hazel's relationship developments – part of the story, rather than wishing for an ending of my like. And, I got what I asked for, self-torture (I knew what I was jumping in to, and cried my eyes out!), a beautiful-numbing romance, and the tragic-realistic part of life. It's these kind of books that has you quietly sitting down in your reading nook, and really think about the things you have and how lucky you are to be able to live the simpler part of life … To embrace the simple things in life.<br/><br/>Augustus Waters: brilliant, witty, charming, and plays an important part in Hazel's life. I was immediately charmed by his wit and his personality. (As I am sure most gals have.) People like Gus, really shines and bring the best out of others.<br/><br/>Hazel Grace: just as brilliant, just as witty, and just as charming! Plays an important role in Augustus Water's life. Hazel, was such a passionate character! Actually, they both were. Their little trip to Van Houton's showcased that, and it had to be one of my favorite scenes.<br/><br/>Though the romance was loving, so was the relationships with Gus, Hazel, and their families. You not only are ripped apart by the problems with Gus and Hazel, but also what their parents had to endure. I could not help but paralleling what would have been if I were in the same situation – how devastated my family would be – to their situation. This was most emotionally-wrecking. That's the thing, how real people are able to make that connection with the characters and plot, is what makes The Fault In Our Stars, so haunting ... and scary.<br/><br/>Second Impression:<br/>Just as heart-breaking yet, lovely as the first.<br/><br/>There is a reason The Fault In Our Stars is a hit and a reason why it is most recommend for teens (and those of all ages) … This books inspires and touches, deeply.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1QKTOZRM0U5NP?ASIN=014242417X	Augustus Waters stole my heart<3	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Well I survived The Fault in Our Stars but I know after this book I won't be the same. I avoided this one for awhile but after experiencing and meeting these amazing characters I'm so happy I put my fears aside &amp; read this beautiful book. There isn't much to say because honestly I'm kinda of a mess right now. I thought I got all my crying out last night but I woke up this morning feeling very melancholy and thinking of my beloved Augustus &amp; Hazel. I loved these characters, Hazel was such a strong girl who really got dealt a rough hand. I loved her dry wit and how she could really make you take a notice of things you normally wouldn't, like scrambled eggs lol. But my heart was stolen by Augustus from the first page he appeared on. I have read a lot of books with great heros but to me NOT ONE compares to him. There aren't enough words to describe how incredible Augustus is so I won't even try. All I'll say is, I fell in love with a fictional character and that boy will be in my heart forever&lt;3 Thank you John Green for writing such an incredible story. Books and characters like Hazel &amp; Augustus are what make reading so special. Anyone who doesn't love reading or doesn't understand how a book can change you hasn't been touched yet by a book like The Fault in Our Stars&lt;3</span>"

Yes its brilliantly told and developed but I don't need to remind myself how hard and awful sick teens have it. Can't the author write something happy with his skills?

Later on in the book, I was glad to be familiar with video games, since there are references to them that will go over some peoples' head.  At the 3/4-mark, I said, out-loud, ""Oh NO!"", even though it was clear this is a book about CANCER - specifically, cancer in young people, so the outlook is SELDOM bright.  I very much look forward to the movie, since the cast is a stellar one.<br/><br/>Regarding the parents, and some of the comments I've read - God has never put me in the challenging position of watching my child suffer terribly, or facing a terminal situation.  Thank you, Lord.  I am in NO position to say whether the descriptions and dialogue of these parents are accurate or not.  I would assume when a parent endures this with their child, the parents become a little wacky and over-protective just to stave off Total Insanity.  Is there a way a parent is SUPPOSED to act in this situation?  I think not.  You get through however you need to.  Even though parents live after a child dies, they DO die, in many respects.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3LE0WVF3UMHZ0?ASIN=014242417X	Five Stars!!!!!!!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars is an extremely rare type of book. I’m not talking about genre, but style. This book made me feel as if I were there going through all the emotional downfalls and spiritual lifting that Hazel Grace goes through in this book. The truth is that I have never read a full book before. With this book, I could not put it down. I was hesitant on whether to read this book because of the factor of cancer throughout the book, but I’m glad I made the decision to read it. It is a wonderful book, one of the few books that can make a person laugh one minute and cry the next. This book contains a beautiful storyline which will intrigue your mind, hurt your heart, and still manages to fill you with love. This book is the first of many books I will actually enjoy reading. Although this is not an easy subject to read, the author has written a lovely, touching, and very unique story with amazing characters. Told in a funny yet heart wrenching story, I can’t help but think about the real-life people who have to go through this every day. It made me admire them even more. It made me realize how amazing and short life can be. My favorite quote from the book is, “You gave me a forever within the numbered days.”</span>"

I guess I can see why teens are crazy for it.  But, the girl's medical treatment is not real.  It is a made up drug that only exists in the author's fantasy.  I think maybe it would have been GREAT if all aspects of the book were true and real.  I just did not like that the star of the book was on a medication that did not exist, therefore creating a scenario that just could not be.  It's a very real thing to have cancer, and I wish that readers could have gotten the 100% true story on cancer and the treatment for cancer.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RNMUA07Q3TBP9?ASIN=014242417X	Life Changing Book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars by John Green is a magnificently written book that is full of love, sorrow, pain, discovery, and surprises.  Green spins a story of two teenagers who are both diagnosed with a disease, one with lung cancer and the other with osteosarcoma. These two young adults end up fighting through their cancer together and also fall in love with each other along the way. This book is one the most inspiring books I have read and it has given me much knowledge on the life of a child who, unlike me, has a terminal illness. I loved this book and it is now in my favorites list.<br/><br/> Hazel Grace Lancaster is diagnosed with lung cancer, but was lucky enough for a miracle to happen; a medication has been found for her that shrinks her tumors. Although this marvelous occasion happened, she considers herself to be unlucky. Hazel attends a support group for cancer kids, and, in her opinion, it’s a waste of time; though at the visitation of a gorgeous boy by the name of August Waters, a spark of interest lights up in Hazel.<br/><br/>August immediately gets intrigued by Hazel and makes an attempt to create a connection between her and him. Once he had successfully befriended her, their relationship only became stronger as days passed on. The two spent days and nights talking together and took every opportunity they had to hang out. Along the way of becoming the best of friends, the two face heartbreaking decisions and had to go through frightening situations. Each problem only made their bond tougher, though getting through them was not easy.<br/><br/>John Green created this book to make readers all around the world aware of the struggles some unlucky people have to go through. He wants to convey to the readers that life is not always nice to everyone, and for some, life is easier than it is for others. The purposing of writing this tale is to give the reader a better understanding of the emotions and the troubles diagnosed patients have to go through.<br/><br/>The story of these two cancerous friends is distressing and tear-jerking, and it was beautifully written. John Green does a marvelous job of conveying feelings to the reader and making them a part of his story. By end of this book tears were threatening to spill onto the pages. I strongly recommend reading this book even to those who are not interested in romances. This book is a life changer and is one of those books that everyone greatly enjoys.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RWEXSOLR9QLEP?ASIN=014242417X	One of the most beautifully written, and moving books I've read.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">One of the most beautifully written, and moving books I've read.<br/><br/>You know you've read a truly amazing book when while reading it, you highlight passages (gasp I marked in a book), and think about and ponder the things you're reading. Though this book is fictional, what transpires and the story that is told is someone's own non-fictionaly story. That's the part of the story that got to me the most. This book made me really think about life, death, what I take for granted and the journey that life is. Green made me re-examine my outlook on life, and realize that no matter what life throws at me, I would hope that my outlook would be similar to the characters I fell in love with in this book.<br/><br/>John Green created characters I laughed with, cried with and above all he introduced me to characters I longed to be friends with. I think it's remarkable when an author can touch a reader in such a way that they walk away from reading the book not only admiring the characters, but really looking up to them. Hazel and Gus's story is epic. It's epic, because of the epic fight for life, love, and happiness. The writing in this book is epic!<br/><br/>Powerfully written, Green takes readers head first into the challenges, heartbreak, and miracles that happen among the courageous teens who battle cancer. Please don't let that scare you away from reading the book. I bought this book the day it was released, two years and 3 months later I finally read it. I'm kicking myself for waiting so long. I had many friends who read it tell me that they loved it, and sobbed through the whole book. Once crying was mentioned, I was turned off. I hate getting emotional. I didn't want to read a book that would make that emotional. However, I did read a couple pages when I bought it, but put it on my bookshelf to read at a later date.<br/><br/>Yesterday I finally read it! After reading this book in one sitting, yes, it's that good, I realized I robbed myself of something amazing. It's not often I can walk away from reading a YA book being so moved by what I read, while at the same time feel like I have gained a better appreciation for my own life. The way Green tells Hazel and Gus's story is poetic, it's moving, heartbreaking, beautiful, and though I only cried twice, I was completely emotionally invested in their story. I laughed, cried, and felt a sense of acceptance for them. Accepting life for what it is. I loved that Green included the amazing support group that Hazel and Gus had with their families, close friends, and each other.<br/><br/>Hazel and Gus aren't just two characters on the pages of a book. They are characters in a book who portray something that's very real. They made me connect to them on a level I didn't think was possible. Green's writing struck a chord with me, and moved me in away no author has done before. Yeah, this book was one I'm sorry I waited so long to read, and I'm sure glad I finally read it. This is one story that has left an epic mark on me.<br/><br/>I highly recommend reading this book. I will caution is this extremely mild language (I am very little) and one incredibly well written scene.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R20MVPZE9J30TX?ASIN=014242417X	Sad & Beautiful	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars has been one of the most hyped about books in the recent history of contemporary fiction. I’d heard a lot about it in the last couple of years, and it had been on my radar since then. And so when I finally read it, I had to stop and wonder why I had waited so long to read it because, all the accolades heaped upon this young adult novel are merited.<br/><br/>The story is quite sad, and as a reader you have to prepare yourself because you know in advance that the main character of this story is dying because of cancer. And yet, it strikes you hard in the chest until you are one mess of tears. Hazel Grace Lancaster is a 16 year old girl, who is suffering from thyroid cancer. She is quirky and funny. She knows her fate, and she doesn’t get too close to others because of it. One of the most striking features about her is that she is simply a girl. Normal. Sure, she has cancer, but that doesn’t make her any less of a person.<br/><br/>She meets Augustus Waters (Gus), who has a prosthetic leg, and is in remission, at a support group. Augustus is one of the most charismatic, lovable and charming characters ever. He is humorous, big on metaphors, and so honest that you can’t help but find him endearing, and feel a deep emotional attachment to him. Together they bond, and then fall in love, while dealing with their diseases and desires. This story was just completely amazing. It kept me intrigued, and it was beautiful, original, captivating, and just plain perfect. Even the supporting characters like the parents, and Issac were just awesome.<br/><br/>John Green puts forward a message that it doesn’t matter who you are, it is always possible to fall in love. The love story built between Hazel and Augustus is so fun to read. It’s so real and honest. It’s slow building, and even though the story is in Hazel’s perspective, one could really feel Augustus’s love for her. This is one of those books that are so rare to find. Books that make you think about life. Make you wonder why things happen. It’s a no-nonsense and non-sentimental account of young lovers with terminal cancer. As depressing as I feared it would be, it really isn’t. It’s funny and witty, and smart and fresh. It will make you laugh &amp; cry, and feel a ton of emotions.<br/><br/>Though I found it peculiar for teens their age to be speaking as smart as both the protagonists (not to say that teens their age are characteristically stupid), I breezed through this fairly quickly. John Green creates such powerful &amp; special characters that live on forever in our hearts. And his writing is so exquisite and bold and clever and poetic. The Fault in Our Stars is a book that is simply devastating, yet highly inspiring. It’s absolutely beautiful - a simple story that carries on because of how spectacularly it is written. If you haven’t read it, I suggest to take the chance.</span>"

2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RVDN76QL65FA2?ASIN=014242417X	Impressive read!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">John Green received inspiration for ""The Fault in Our Stars"" from working as a student chaplain at the children's hospital.  He saw children labeled the sick and dying as another group of human beings when in essence, that are some of the strong and most powerful people we'll ever get to meet.<br/>Based on a young girl, cancer patient named Hazel, who attends a support group that her parents forced her to.  Actually, the title comes  is based on Shakespeare's play Julius Caesar. (Act 1, Scene 2). The nobleman Cassius says to Brutus, 'The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, / But in ourselves, that we are underlings.'<br/>My first copy of this book was a copy from a friend.  If you have some quite time to curl up on the sofa and get into a strong character, and expect emotional slaps within the pages, please get this book.  If will make you change your value of life and what's important.  CHECK IT OUT!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R28LEGJRXXCJUL?ASIN=014242417X	LOVED IT !!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I hesitated to read this book and I'm not sure why. Once I started I just could not put it down.  Hazel Grace and Augustus are so lovable and funny. This is a wonderful love story.  It is a book that you will be thinking about long after you are done. One of my favorite lines in the book is when Augustus says to Hazel Grace, ""It would be a privilege to have my heart broken by you."" If you enjoyed James Patterson' ""First Love"" you will also love The Fault In Our Stars. I could have written lots more but I didn't want to leave any spoilers for you.</span>"

Anyway, I couldn't tear my eyes away from this book. It's an easy read but the writing is exceptional.It's funny, it's sad, it's rough, but that's all the emotions that go with everything when dealing with cancer. When all the odds are against you, you can't simply stand against the wall and wish something would change. I love that John Green added depth to this story. I've been wanting to read it for a long time and now I have a line of people wanting to borrow it because of all the great things I've said about it. I laughed and I cried. I DEFINITELY recommend it.</span>"

But I have to say that this one just didn't do it for me.<br/>I thought the voice sounded extremely forced, and almost corny.  And the whole ending was painfully predictable.<br/>The emotion was there, in some parts, but it just wasn't enough for me to love this read.<br/>Obviously this book is a huge hit.<br/>It just wasn't a hit for me.<br/><br/>Maybe next time!<br/><br/>.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RZ85G6DESTI4Y?ASIN=014242417X	Good not great	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I liked the book and I read it in a little over 24 hours, but I wasn't sad when it ended. I mean I was sad because it is an incredibly sad plot line, but I was aching for more pages to read. As for it's universality- like everyone can identify with the characters- I'm not necessarily sure that's true, the characters didn't feel developed enough for me to identify with them. Anyway, it was a quick read and I think anything that has such a massive cult following should be read by all. I don't think I'll re-read this one though</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1RR7MHUI9PBUF?ASIN=014242417X	another 5 star.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I started this book on a Monday morning before work (as you do) and finished it before 9pm that night. kind of includes spoilers, (and spoilers about another popular trilogy with a main character named Triss) so you have been warned!<br/><br/>I had seen the trailer, I knew kind of what the story would be like. And I am a crier. Like, hallmark cards make me cry. So I knew this book would get to me. What I couldn't comprehend was how it got to me in other ways. I haven't read any of John Green's other books, never even heard of him before. This book used a lot of big words I didn't understand, I'm not half as smart as the dumbest character in this book. But seriously, this book was SO FREAKING WELL WRITTEN, I can't even.<br/><br/>It is sad, but of course a book about kids with cancer is going to be sad. But I laughed, I laughed so many times. This book was so well written! I normally keep my books to myself, sometimes telling my husband how I feel about a book once I have finished - but this book, I kept interrupting his video game playing to read lines from the book.<br/><br/>I kind of suspected what was going to happen, so I wasn't shocked, but I still hoped for a magic turn around. I'm soppy like that.<br/><br/>Something I will briefly touch on - lots of people seem to be mad that the teenagers don't talk like teenagers, and like I said - they use lots of big words and seem way smarter than I will be at 50, let alone 16. But who gives a flying toot? Not me. I don't want to read about teenagers that talk like teenagers. I want something that opens my mind, my imagination, my dictionary.<br/><br/>It was honestly, seriously, a very well written good book. It has been so long since I have thoroughly enjoyed a book. I 100000% recommend this book, but buy a box a tissues first.<br/><br/>and by the way veronica roth? THIS is how you kill a main character. mmk?</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R216AHX2N01JFT?ASIN=014242417X	It's both slightly-pretentious and also amazingly wonderful.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Ok, there were times when I had trouble buying not only the premise, but the main characters of this story -- two cancer-stricken teens who talk like well-educated, elitist literature majors, who fall in love, deal with the heartbreak of their friends and families, and take a trip of their lifetime (sponsored by a make-a-wish-like-foundation). There are a couple of scenes where the way they're talking, the way they're acting, are soooooo beyond their years and such kind-of perfected examples of what a perfect person/character would be like, that it's a bit distracting from the overall story/how believable the story was.<br/><br/>That said, the story is moving enough, the characters real *enough* that it's hard to mind. It's an engrossing, involving read that is very quick to get through. As a teacher/tutor, I find that even some of my most recalcitrant readers, who ""just don't like books"" loved this one, that alone makes it five stars. Beyond that, I truly enjoyed it and could barely put it down, despite small moments that kicked me out of the story, it is truly wonderfully written, compelling novel.</span>"

As a cancer survior myself, I was strangely told to read this. I had decided to, just to write a essay on how the media and stories we read about ""glamorize"" cancer. Well, I didn't need to read much at all to prove me I was wrong! In the author's note, Mr. Green pulled me in by saying this story is made up and any facts are basically superficial. From that moment onward, I could not but the book down. As the main character of Hazel Grace tells of her life with terminal cancer, and what it makes her feel like she remains a believeable cancer patient. And that is coming from one. The humor is by far the best I have ever read and that alone is five stars when poking fun in a sad sunject. All characters are well rounded and relatable too. John Green has written a masterpiece.</span>"

I sat beside his bed and watched him die. Sounds brutally awful, right? Well, it was extremely hard, but I learned so many things from it, that now I think it was the most important event in my short life, (easy to say, when you're only 16.) Fast forward two years after my dad died, and now I'm a sophomore in high school. I was sitting in English class one day, when I heard my English teacher raving about this new book called ""The Fault in Our Stars,"" and how amazing it was. Long story short, I went on Amazon, ordered it, and then tossed it aside as homework got in the way. I wish I never  would let homework never get in the way. :) Then one day, yesterday to be exact, I picked it up and read it from cover to cover, and I finished near one in the morning today. I literally sat there with tears in my eyes for hours after flipping through the last page and couldn't imagine how John Green expressed such a tough subject, with such ease and poise. John Green, if you ever read this, I'm forever indebted to you. Pick up a copy of this book, just do it.</span>"

Hazel Grace is 16 and stricken with cancer in her lungs and has to wear oxygen 24/7 in order to breathe but who walks into her life but a breath of fresh air that she so desperately needs young and ""hot"" as Hazel says is Agustus Waters, Gus for short who totally changes the path of her life! Gus had cancer and is in remission right now and meets Hazel at a support group where he is there with his bff that is going blind due to his cancer.  I can't give to much away but think about it would you change meeting someone if you knew it wasn't going to be forever??? Hummm this is major for me thru the book as both kids and parents deal with so much that you think its too much but it happens every day all the kids and adults with cancer some beat it some don't but everyone is in our life or comes into our lives for a reason no matter how long but definitely for a reason!  Great Job Mr. Green 5 stars from me!</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I would give this book more than 5 stars if I could.<br/><br/>I didn't know if I would like this book, since I've been disappointed by hyped up books before, but this did not disappoint. It's funny and it's deep and it's sad and it's just all kinds of amazing. It's a masterpiece.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R18G9PLT5CQA60?ASIN=014242417X	I would call this a heart-touching irresistible book...although I can't. Only because this book is so much more.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">As I began to read this book in my 7th grade classroom just a few weeks ago I simply could not bring myself to put it down. It is the perfect mixture of love, real life, and reality. As a young reader, it gave me perhaps a better outlook on life. Not just what to look forward to, but reality in itself. Hazel being the funny girl she is, and Augustus being the charming man he is reminded me that even in the worst times of life there is always something to laugh at, love, or something to look forward to even if that something is death. Perfectly written and in my opinion the best book that I've ever read in my 13 years. To John Green - Sir, this story changed and touched my life. To whomever reads this review, I hope you are fortunate enough to share and experience these great feelings as well with this book! Two thumbs up, and most definitely five stars.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R341CEV9IGR0LF?ASIN=014242417X	Made me laugh, made me cry, cancer hits home for me personally. Loved this book and will read it again. Can't wait for the movie	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I took a chance and read this book because it got insanely popular and I wanted to see what was up. I was not disappointed, however; I am glad I did not finish this book while on my college's campus. I was laughing and crying at the same time. Crying for the sadness at the end of the book, and laughing for the smart remarks of one of the characters at the end. In 2012 I lost my own Father to Pancreatic Cancer, so I was actually hesitant about finishing this book. I was not disappointed though, at all.</span>"

2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2Q564BRIS5O91?ASIN=014242417X	One of my favorite books ever.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I have never read a book about a romance so epically bittersweet which combines some of the saddest themes and yet has some hilarious moments.<br/>If you have a heart, you'll laugh, you'll cry. You may have to put the book down to reflect, but once it's finished you'll be glad you read it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1WDFBCHYSE952?ASIN=014242417X	Beautiful and Tragic Love	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The connection between Augustus and Hazel Grace is so wonderfully warm and romantic. Tragic due to the cancer (and something else I won't spoil to those who haven't read it). Though sad this is still my favorite book. John Green has a way of creating the characters so they are so relatable through their 17th year. I love this book and plan to read Looking for Alaska, Paper Towns and An Abundance of Katherines. Maybe they will be as good as this one!</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R236MQ0417M0L1?ASIN=014242417X	FABULOUS read!!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I purchased this book based on the abundance of highly-rated Amazon reviews.  When I received the book, and saw that it is 'young adult' fiction, I was worried.  As a mid 30s professional, I do not read young adult fiction.<br/><br/>I was astounded by this book.  It is fabulous!  Cheesy as it sounds, as other reviewers have noted: You'll laugh, you'll cry, you won't be able to put this book down until you have finished it.  I can't recommend this highly enough!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R14GD6N0FRB5HZ?ASIN=014242417X	Love and sometimes Hate this book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">If you yourself have ever spent time in a cancer center, then you know what the ""competition"" is like, just as described in this book. The bitterness and sarcasm portrayed by Hazel is realistic. In fact, there are people battling cancer who hate everyone and every thing. That's the way it is when you are fighting a losing battle and having to deal with doctors who drop the ball, medicines you can't tolerate, friends who don't understand, and family members---don't get me started on them. This book showed loving parents who hovered and couldn't do enough for their sick kids. But in reality, loved ones often get tired and fed up, often leave and aren't there when their cancer family members need them. Some aspects of this book were believable and others were not. It is a work of fiction after all, and it gets close enough on the cancer.<br/><br/>CONTAINS SPOILERS&gt;&gt;&gt;<br/>As for sounding like real teens, yes, some do talk that way, but the problem I had was that Hazel sounded like she was written by a man. She was too removed from her own character to be convincing as a teenage girl in love for the first time. The whole story could have gone into great depths to uncover the horrors cancer does to your perceptions of the world (it can be really dark--darker than portrayed here). It comes close and then backs out and becomes too surface to be taken seriously. There wasn't enough development of the Dutch author. At the point the characters went to Amsterdam, John Green began telling his story instead of ""showing"" it. He took the easy way out and didn't develop the characters enough or make us care. The sex scene was weak and clearly written by an adult male. There is no way Hazel would have been so logical and matter-of-fact about her first time. Hazel's concept of the afterlife was unconvincing as was her feeling that she didn't need to leave a mark. She wasted so much time watching reruns on tv and doing nothing---that we needed to see her grieve for her life. Instead, she was just killing time. And when you don't have much time left, you can't stand just killing time. Also, realistic teens can't go very long without texting and checking email. It was weird how much they played video games without someone having to stop and peek at their cell phone.<br/><br/>The ending felt rushed. Having the Dutch author just show up in the van and her leave him at the curb is unrealistic and weak. The ending was unsatisfying. Gus would have written something with more depth for her. If anything, instead of a eulogy, Gus should have sent his ideas for the sequel to then have the Dutch author tell Hazel at the funeral. Then have her discover it was all Gus. Something that wasn't so transient. The book had some strong points, but it fizzled out and left the reader feeling cheated. I still recommend the book for giving a glimpse of what cancer can be like, and the humor in places had me laughing out loud.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RKGJEM0Q4EVCZ?ASIN=014242417X	Beautiful and full of raw emotions	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I love this book.

4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R5JRJV3E4QT7C?ASIN=014242417X	5 Out of 5 Stars For John Green's The Fault In Our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The-Fault-In-Our-Stars<br/>Image Credits: Vernon Barford School<br/><br/>I'm always skeptical of books that receive a lot of attention or hype. I'm still pretty mad about how disappointing I found The Hunger Games to be. I put so much faith in that book and ended up feeling so disappointed in the end and like I have been cheated. So needless to say I was a bit of afraid to read John Green's famous novel, The Fault in Our Stars. Scared, but also very curious.<br/><br/>I refused to spend $17 or so for the hardcover edition of the book. It seemed like an awful lot of money for a book especially one that was by any author I was unfamiliar with for a book I was so skeptical of. So I waited over a year for it to come out in paperback edition.<br/><br/>When I went to Target on Saturday I was pleasantly surprised to find the paperback edition of The Fault in Our Stars resting comfortably on the shelf at the fair price of a little more than $10. I purchased it without thought and began reading it as soon as I got home.<br/><br/>I. Could. Not. Put. This. Book. Down.<br/><br/>This novel hooked me straight from the beginning. I loved the character of Hazel. She was a unique kind of strong and smart.I felt sad for her for being so sick and on the verge of death but I admired her for her acceptance of her faith. She accepted that she was going to die and she didn't seem scared or bitter about it. She mostly just felt bad for the people she'd leave behind. She didn't want to hurt anyone. This is something most people don't think about in terms of terminally ill children. We feel sad for them because they are going to die too soon...but does anyone ever really think about how they feel in terms of dying and leaving behind their loved ones?<br/><br/>I was convinced throughout the novel that Hazel was going to die. I felt really bad for her boyfriend, Augustus. I thought that Hazel would die and leave Augustus alone to live his life and to try to keep the memory of Hazel alive. And I expected him to turn a bit bitter since this would be his second girlfriend to die of cancer.<br/><br/>I fell in love with Augustus the moment he was introduced in the novel. He was so romantic and charming! Very smart too! I loved his obsession with metaphors and how he would suck on cigarettes without actually smoking them as a way of putting deadly items in his mouth but not allowing them the benefit of killing him. He was such a strong character. I  never would've thought he'd be the one to die of cancer in the novel.<br/><br/>I was so completely furious at John Green when it was revealed that Augustus was actually in remission and living his last days in chapter 13. It took me by complete surprise and absolutely broke my heart. I don't think I have ever been so heartbroken by a book before. But this did not feel like a book. It felt like real life. And that just hurt.<br/><br/>Leading up to chapter 14 I have watched Hazel and Augustus begin to slowly fall in love with one another and I was reminded of my own past relationship with Casey and how it feels to fall in love. Even when your relationship falls apart and doesn't work out the way you want it to, you never regret the falling in love part. Falling truly, deeply, passionately in love is the greatest  feeling in the world. There is no other emotion that come anywhere remotely close to it. And I really saw and felt that with Hazel and Augustus. Then right when everything was at it's peak --- right when Hazel and Augustus became each other's firsts... BOOM! Augustus is dying. How heartbreaking is that?<br/><br/>I kept rooting for Augustus to pull through, even though I knew death was inevitable. I literally made a wish when I seen it was 11:11 that Augustus would live. I just loved this character so much that I couldn't stand the thought of him dying. It was hard to remember he was fictional. I admired Hazel for standing by and supporting Augustus as he grew sicker and sicker. She herself was not well and it couldn't have been easy to watch the love of her life die from the same disease that was killing her. She was literally looking death in the eye and seeing exactly what would happen to her in the near future. There was no doubt that she really loved him.<br/><br/>And what about Augustus? In his final days he did everything he could to be with Hazel and give her everything she could ever want. This is what love is. This is real, pure, true love.<br/><br/>Augustus may have died in this story (still so  mad at you for killing him, Mr. Green!!!!) and Hazel may be knocking on death's door step, but the love shared between Augustus and Hazel will live on forever. These two demonstrate what it is to love someone in sickness and in health. What it is like to live like you are dying and to love like there's no tomorrow.<br/><br/>I always wanted to die young. But after reading The Fault in Our Stars, maybe I should reconsider that. Maybe it's just more important to focus on the now, the present, and to live each day like it's my last dying day.<br/><br/>Because you just never know when that might be.</span>"

4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/ROLSOZMJ0MUHQ?ASIN=014242417X	Emotional Roller Coaster	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Initial Thoughts:<br/><br/>There was a lot of hype surrounding this novel, and I knew going in that this would be an emotional roller-coaster, and it was. It was a given we’d feel the way we did; two teens with cancer, one terminal, one in remission. Yeah, there wasn’t going to be a happily ever after here and we knew it.<br/><br/>What I didn’t expect was the laughter, and the smiles, and the joy of falling in love. There were wonderfully sweet moments that made my heart swell with wonder, and of course, there was the ultimate heartbreak.<br/><br/>Characters:<br/><br/>Hazel Grace’s life lacks passion when we are introduced to her.<br/><br/>  ""Late in the winter of my seventeenth year, my mother decided I was depressed, presumably because I rarely left the house, spent quite a bit of time in bed, read the same book over and over, ate infrequently, and devoted quite a bit of my abundant free time to thinking about death.""<br/><br/>And sadly, her character arc is such that her life lacks passion in the end.<br/><br/>I wanted her to learn something from her experience with Augustus. I wanted her to make the most of every moment she had left. I wanted her to be a heroine, not just a girl with cancer, so I was a tad disappointed with her.<br/><br/>I loved Augustus.  He injected life into Hazel Grace. He made me laugh with his clever wit, and I loved his positive outlook. I loved that he wasn’t afraid of falling in love, and I admired him for that. Truly. Deeply.<br/><br/>Hazel and Augustus together, were wonderful. Together they were strong, and happy, and rock solid, each lending strength to the other. Together they loved genuinely, and greatly, and unconditionally.<br/><br/>Secondary characters fell a little flat and were not as fully developed. Their function seemed to be to assist in directing the plot. I wish they’d played a larger role in the story. I wanted them to be characters, not puppets, but alas the author thought differently.<br/><br/>Writing:<br/><br/>As much as I liked Hazel and Augustus together, and found them endearing, I also felt I could see the author’s hand manipulating these characters, and others in the novel. There was a sense of contrivance to this work, with its  ironies and its  references to cancer books, as well as the story within a story trope. Despite the sense of manipulation, I will remember this story, always.<br/><br/>In The End:<br/><br/>This story changed me. You see, we are all terminal. And how we live our days is a choice, despite our circumstances, despite our upbringing, despite everything. Hazel Grace and Augustus, undeterred by cancer, chose to make the most of their limited time together. I choose the same. Will you?<br/><br/>Favorite Lines:<br/><br/>  “That’s the thing about pain,” Augustus said, and then glanced back at me. “It demands to be felt.”<br/><br/>  “I fell in love the way you fall asleep: slowly, and then all at once.”<br/><br/>  “You don’t get to choose if you get hurt in this world, old man, but you do have some say in who hurts you.”<br/><br/>The movie adaptation from the novel will be in theaters June 6, 2014.

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R5B154CGG11G3?ASIN=014242417X	A good read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">With all of the hype around this book, I was expecting a little bit more from it. Don't get me wrong it was a good book that had real characters and was well written. However, I kind of saw the ending coming. It was uproariously funny at times and depressing at other times. I did like that the book painted the sick characters as real people and not fundamentally other as society often does. I would say it is worth the price and the time. I just cannot say that I was blown away by it, but again this is probably because I had higher expectations for it.</span>"

4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1HFY078I4BCN6?ASIN=014242417X	Predictable and Boring	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I heard so many good things about this book and was very excited to read it, but was sadly disappointed. There was no originality to the plot line, and the dialogue was sheer torture to read. I have no wish to appear callous or rude, but it's a book about two teens with cancer- there's only so many ways this book could have ended; unfortunately, the author chose the most predictable and overdone ending.<br/><br/>If you enjoy reading Instant Message-esque dialogue filled with teenage angst, this book is for you. If you enjoy the random pretentious vocabulary word inserted into said insipid dialogue, this book is also for you. It's a very quick read, because there's not much depth to it except for the random scenes of rambling about various philosophers.<br/><br/>I give the second star for the fact that the author had a somewhat decent (albeit unoriginal) concept, and created characters without the normal bubble wrapped lives that many fictional characters lead.<br/><br/>Overall- I got to the end of the book, put it down, and thought ""that's it?"" I wished, as the book's protagonists did, that the author would have taken the story further.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RIMXYLMXEWDE4?ASIN=014242417X	I adore Augustus Waters.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">It looks like I still have a problem with John Green's endings. Still, I adore Augustus Waters. The perfect dose of medicine for swoon-seeking readers like me.<br/><br/>I was not ready to be in tears when I started The Fault in Our Stars. Come page 25, I was closing my borrowed copy and mulling about putting it down after my emotions calmed. That scene with her father, when she was near death, oh the heartbreak for any parent...! My unshed tears I kept in check, I was literally choking from it. =(<br/><br/>Then it dawned on me how JG ca easily suck me into his gem stories.<br/><br/>I was okay with Hazel, but I was more focused on Augustus. His character was so vibrant, so electrifyingly alive! I was fully charmed by him. Augustus' presence in the pages was so strong that I actually felt the loss when he's not in it. Awesome writing, JG. ;)<br/><br/>I am happy with Hazel's admirable relationship with her parents. Because if there's anything she needs, it's the endless support and unconditional love she got from her mom and dad.<br/><br/>Whoever thought that a pre-funeral would be the best thing in this book? I loved every bit of it.<br/><br/>A little anti-climactic for me, but the ending was sort of joyous (triumphant, even) if you were to look it at a different way.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R14VUKV8KME41Y?ASIN=014242417X	Great read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">My daughter recommended that I read this book. It's not my typical type of book but I gave it go.  It was quite touching.  It's the story of Hazel and Augustus, both of which are young adults dealing with cancer. What I got most out of this book is the difficulty that people that are sick have to deal with on a daily basis.  Things that I don't even think about in my life are completely different for them. Yet they are I also learned a lot about strength.  It's a love story which I found both amazing and sad at the same time. I choked up in a few places. Excellent story.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1MA6VHOXQ5JSP?ASIN=014242417X	Hyped for a Reason	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I'm late to the John Green party, but at last I've arrived. I've been wanting to read The Fault in Our Stars for several months now, and knew I had to pick it up before the movie came out this June. I'm drastically afraid of being spoiled (for any book, TV show, or movie), and I knew the TFIOS ending was in my near future whether I read the book or not. Well, I zoomed through TFIOS as soon as it arrived to my mailbox, and it was a roller coaster that only goes up.<br/><br/>Okay, that's not entirely true, this book was a roller coaster of emotions for me (but snaps for you if you caught that reference). I laughed, I cried, I had all the cliché emotions. Why? Because TFIOS is the story of Hazel, a sixteen-year-old girl with cancer. The book opens with Hazel at her support group, where we meet Augustus – the love interest. TFIOS is told through Hazel's point of view, as she and Augustus join forces to create a new kind of dream team.<br/><br/>I don't want to say much else about the plot, as the book is a short 313 pages, and I think it's best discovered on your own. In fact, I found TFIOS an intellectually troubling read. Green left hints, or so I thought. Every time I thought I had the ending figured out, things changed. I liked that; it kept things interesting. And at one point I exclaimed ""Oh my God!"" out loud while reading. I was never disappointed, and loved the twists and turns even though I needed to keep the tissue box within reach.<br/><br/>As for the characters, I loved them all. It's quite rare that I genuinely think all of the characters in a story are great. Here, they just were. My favorite was Peter Van Houton, even though I know that's probably an unpopular opinion.<br/><br/>There is so much I could say about TFIOS, but I'll stop by emphasizing the magic in John Green's writing. This book is going to be one that I reread sometime soon, as I want to relive the metaphorical goodness. I highly recommend TFIOS, and gave it a 4.5/5 stars on Goodreads, docked for a couple things that bothered me in the first two chapters. There is no reason not to read TFIOS.</span>"

The teen romance element didn't do a lot for me but the deeper themes were interesting. The symbolism of entrapment through setting was well developed. The second theme of questioning immortality through literature was also handled effectively. Most of the girls respond to the more superficial aspects of the love affair and seem to think they now ""understand"" what living with cancer is like. It is, however, a good introduction to both areas, with a greater complexity than is usually seen.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R387N0J59HM8ZT?ASIN=014242417X	A torrent of emotions throughout every chapter...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">There are no words to express how I feel about this book. It's beautiful, it's awful. It made my heart burst with happiness and love for the characters, but it also made me grieve, very painfully might I add. It was funny and it had glimpses of depressing thoughts and facts, but then again, that is life. I really loved the characters in this book. Hazel was a really smart person who managed to phrase things really well. Sometimes she had a negative outlook on things, but I believe that she was just being realistic and I appreciate how she wasn't giving this 'woe-was-me' aura throughout the book. I really do admire her.<br/><br/>Then there was Augustus Waters. I really loved him. There was a moment a couple of chapters after I read he had died that I stopped reading for a moment and I started crying (again). All I kept thinking was: 'I miss you Augustus. I miss how you sometimes are called Gus and sometimes Augustus and while both names are supposed to mean the same thing, they kind of don't but they represent you well. I miss your crooked smile and your lively blue eyes. I miss your image of yourself and how you would comment on the ""hardships"" of having such beauty. I miss your excited self the first time you took off in a plane and I miss how you loved Hazel no matter what and how you weren't afraid to tell her. I miss how you would say Okay instead of I Love You, but it still didn't take the meaning out of the words. I love how even if okay was such a common word you chose it to be your Always; it makes me feel like it is more special this way instead of using other extremely cliched words. I miss how you always had this philosophical thoughts about random stuff and your opinion on basketball. I even miss how you always complained on how you wanted to die a grand way and be remembered by it, even though I didn't agree with you.' The funny thing about all my thoughts was that I never met Augustus Waters, but John Green made me feel like I did.<br/><br/>I will forever be grateful to John Green The Amazing Author who gave me the opportunity of meeting this characters and getting to know their stories. He made me think differently about lots of things and I am happy about it. I usually read a book more than once if I think it is a great book, but I don't think I'll be able to open this book again in a long time. There were too many 'Feels' in it for me to handle again (I was crying since I first started to see the clues that Gus was bad again). Thank you again John Green. This is a book that will stay with me, okay.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3H0HGS1HR7O8?ASIN=014242417X	If you haven't, YOU NEED TO.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I gave this book five stars because it was written beautifully, it told a story masterfully, and it made me cry. I've been thinking about it for days afterwards.<br/><br/>The characters are pitch perfect. I love that this was written by a man -- it goes to show you how talented John Green really is. Having been a teenaged girl once myself, albeit not one as intelligent and keenly observant as Hazel, I have to tell you that he hit every note. He made Hazel real. And Gus and Isaac. You feel like they were real teenagers, the parents were real, Peter Van Houten was real. I can't tell you how much I loved Gus. I LOVED GUS. What a great character. They all were.<br/><br/>This is a book that is in my top ten favorites of all time. I've read hundreds of books (I was an English major, and I'm a writer myself). I wanted to stop people on the street to ask them if they'd read it. Nothing is perfect, no book can explain the mysteries of life, but this is the closest approximation that I've found in a long, long time. I loved this book. Highly recommend -- just order it, already! It's this popular for a good reason.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3BBNIKEM1RGCO?ASIN=014242417X	First Book to Bring me to Tears	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">""Despite the tumor-shrinking medical miracle that has bought her a few years, Hazel has never been anything but terminal, her final chapter inscribed upon diagnosis. But when a gorgeous plot twist named Augustus Waters suddenly appears at Cancer Kid Support Group, Hazel's story is about to be completely rewritten.""<br/><br/>Quirky, funny and tragic! Three great words to describe this little -okay maybe not so little- novel by John Green. I'm not ashamed to say that this was my first John Green novel, and I don't think it's going to be my last though I heard his others aren't as good. But let's not talk about his other books, because this is a review about ""The Fault in Our Stars"".<br/><br/>Where do I even begin? Hm. I'll start with Miss Hazel Grace Lancaster. I fell in love with her character on the very first page of this book. I love how she has a book that she is just so totally in love with, because I can relate to that part of her character. I also love how she reacts to Augustus Waters' invitation to go to a movie with her. Not everyone would suggest that he could be an ax murderer!<br/><br/>I suppose I should follow that up with a question: Who is Augustus Waters? Well, now, Augustus ""Gus"" Waters is our other lead character, who is just as quirky as Hazel. Within moments of meeting her, he explains to Hazel how to somewhat ""cheat death"", if you will. I fell in love with his metaphor about cigarettes and his confession to Hazel that he found her beautiful within minutes of their meeting.<br/><br/>These two, both knowing what it feels like to stare death in the face and survive, fall in love slowly -like the way one would fall asleep- and then all at once. (Come on, we all know I had to do that.) They spend their time, sending flirty messages back and forth and then eventually take a trip to Amsterdam.<br/><br/>And then the ending rolls around.<br/><br/>And please do not be ashamed to admit that you cried.

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This novel was categorized as a ""Teen"" novel at my local Barnes and Noble; I suppose because it is about teens. Nevertheless, it is a book for readers of any age. It is sweet and smart and well-written.<br/><br/>I knew from the subject matter that there would be some sad moments. Still, I was completely caught off-guard at the particular point when I had to put down the book and bawl. This is a good thing; I didn't see it coming. I was overwhelmed by the situation and what happened when I least expected it.<br/><br/>I am giving it four stars instead of five because I couldn't help but be a little skeptical that kids this age would be so funny, so irreverent, so hip. That may just be my cynicism; I don't know.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I kid you not, that is EXACTLY what I said to this book once I had finished reading it. I was on an emotional roller coaster the entire time. It is fabulously written, the first book of John Green's I have read (bought the rest soon after). It's so much more than the teenage love most people peg it for... *sigh*. It's hard to write about it without giving away details but I'll just say, there were times I would be choked up and my husband would ask what was wrong and I would answer in an inaudible slur of tearful words. I have not been moved by a book like that in a very long time. If you are looking for a good... no... GREAT read, look no further. DFTBA aka Don't Forget To Be Awesome.</span>"

I might shed a tear or two. This book had me sobbing. It was an ugly cry full of so many emotions. I could relate to everyone so I felt so much.

2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RCMZTKS23ZT34?ASIN=014242417X	Heart wrenchingly beautiful.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">My boyfriend introduced me to Hank and John Green on YouTube, which later got me into their channel CrashCourse. Let me tell you, these are two amazingly brilliant gentlemen. If you haven't had a chance to check them out, I would highly recommend it. After watching a few of their videos, Boyo mentioned John Green's books. I didn't think anything of it at the time, but, when searching for books in Top 100's lists scattered about the interwebs, I found his books. On every. single. list. Not only that, at least three of them. on every. list.<br/><br/>Breaking down, I went for the most popular (and highest rated) of his books: The Fault In Our Stars. I will never be so internally shattered, yet happy that I did.<br/><br/>The story is, firstly, about Cancer, then about an intellectual girl named Hazel Grace whom meets and falls in love with another Cancer, also an intellectual, Augustus Waters. Hazel is dying, she is perpetually hooked up to an oxygen tank which allows her lungs to fill with the necessary amount of life sustaining oxygen her lungs fail at taking in on their own.<br/><br/>Hazel Grace meets Augustus Waters, a charismatic metaphor, at a support group that he attended for his friend Isaac. The plot revolves around a book of a girl with cancer, and leaves the last sentence of the book unfinished, the ending hanging. The two theorize on the book as they get to know each other until one of them, inevitably, dies.<br/><br/>I have never cried so hard reading a book in my life as I did with this book. It was devastatingly haunting and beautiful. It's only mildly predictable, which is wonderful; what makes this book great is it's honesty. There is no bravery in cancer and no beauty. The winner is never really a winner because it isn't something you can beat; only go into remission from. There is no grace in dying. Lastly, no one is exempt.<br/><br/>It's odd and quite a bit daunting to read about 16 year olds, whom are more well versed and educated that most will ever be. The biggest annoyance about the book for me was when Hazel would suddenly break out into a fit of, ""like""s. It's like... and, like... Completely out of character with her the rest of the time. I understand that the author was trying to make Hazel out to be more of a stereotypical teenaged girl, but he threw that out the window when he gave her a functioning and learned brain. Everything else had a wonderful flow. I was completely wrapped up in the characters and in the end, it felt like one of my good friends had passed away. The book was realistic in it's events and the undertakings of each.<br/><br/>Absolutely wonderful</span>"

She said she loved it and can't wait to read the book. I originally bought the book at the large nationwide bookstore in the mall. The clerk at the bookstore said this was flying off the shelves for teenage girls. Unfortunately the price was over $17. When I got home I checked Amazon and the price was so much lower. I ended up returning the book to the mall and buying it off Amazon.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1MXWB2OLK6V1Y?ASIN=014242417X	A sad and true love story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">My teenage daughter gave me this book to read after she had read it.  I cried all the way through it.  She was reading it like a teenage romance, I was reading it like a mother of a child who could die.<br/><br/>This book will take you on an emotional roller coaster from the beginning to the end.  Keep a box of kleenex nearby when you read this.  It is beautifully written, and keeps true to the subject matter.  Both of the main characters are teenagers dying from cancer.  The author touches on tough questions like ""Do we have the right to fall in love when one of us might be leaving this world?""  ""Does our life really mean anything?  What will people remember about us after we are gone?""<br/><br/>I feel that the characters were very real, and that this story could have actually happened.  The only unbelievable part for me had to  do with a wish.  That is all that I am going to say.  I don't want to spoil anything here.<br/><br/>I will say that the two main characters bonded over a book called Imperial Affliction.  The ending of Imperial Affliction leaves the readers hanging and wanting more.  The Fault in our Stars has the same type of ending.  Coincidence?  I think not.  I highly  recommend this book.<br/><br/>John Green,  I want a sequel.  I want to know what happens to the characters that are left.</span>"

I looked at the Amazon reviews for this book and thought, ""No way. 12,000+ reviews and it's five stars?!"" This is not really the genre I like, so I was skeptical. But this book is ... amazing. I feel like I was granted the pleasure of reading it - a rare feeling for a book.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R317WAR5NT8YQS?ASIN=014242417X	just a regular review	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Two star crossed lovers collide to make one special relationship. If there was one sentence to describe the book “The Fault in Our Stars”, that would be it. In this book, John Green gives so much attention to detail and emotion.<br/> Ok, so Hazel always goes to Support Group, which she likes and dislikes going to at the same time, and that’s where she meets not only one of her great friends, Isaac, but her new found love Gus. Gus has kind of those “love at first sight” deals with Hazel. So Gus slowly becomes good and flirty friends with Hazel. Eventually she shares her favorite book, “An Imperial Affliction” , with Gus. They become obsessed with the way the book ends and both of them really want answers. Gus ends up taking this into his own hands and he, through the help of his cancer organization, decides to fly to where the author lives to get the answers. This ends up just being a vacation to Amsterdam because the meeting with the author doesn’t go as planned. He turns out to be a sorry alcoholic that is extremely stubborn. The couple end up leaving with no info about the ending. Not a big event but one that’s very sad is that both Gus’s and Hazel’s great friend Isaac ends up becoming blind because of cancer .<br/> One aspect of the book I liked was Hazel’s attitude. She was always positive and I like the way she thinks about things. Whether it’s the future, cancer, or just her outlook on life, I really like it. She even sounds like a teenager. The way she talks. The way she acts. It really does. Another part I liked was that Gus basically “saved” Hazel’s life. She has cancer and the doesn’t have many friends. She barely makes it to school. Gus stepped in and totally changed her life. He gave her things to look forward to and just overall sparked her life. One part I didn’t like was that Hazel and Gus never got their questions answered by the author. Even I kind of wanted to know myself. I also kinda don’t like the big event that happens at the end bit I don’t like spoilers. I’m not about that life.<br/> In my preference, I would suggest reading this book. It’s not a “must read”,  but I bet if you read it , you will definitely enjoy it. It’s just one of those books that will jerk your emotions. Will the star crossed lover’s love last for eternity? Read this absolutely fantastic book to find out.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1CJVMRXJAC6IK?ASIN=014242417X	An awe-inspiring book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Let me start off by saying that I am not a reader; usually I don't even bother to read books that aren't assigned by school. Never the less I picked up this book from my friends house, and started reading it after a very long and emotional praise by my friend.<br/><br/>This book, and everything about it is amazing. I can't really explain it, but this book has changed me to look at things for the better, although the book made my literary cry for about an hour after an emotional chapter near the end of the story, yet I cannot help but want to read this book over and over again.<br/><br/>If you are looking for a funny, emotional, romantic, truly awe-inspiring book this is the book you are looking for; and even if you think you don't like romantic books you still need to read this book. This is coming from a non-reader who feel so hard in love with this book that I read it all within two hours, and since then I have read it again, and plan to read it about a hundred more times even though that still would not be enough; because within those two hours this book became my favorite book and will probably remain my favorite book for the rest of my teenage years.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2CVSOH18APYT7?ASIN=014242417X	True Love and True Death	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Everyone loves a good romance novel. Each story is a chance to fall in love right along with the characters, and this book was no acceptation.  Hazel, as exited year old with stage four thyroid cancers, tells about her life. She began as a girl, who even her own mother thought was depressed, into someone completely different. The source of that change: Augustus Waters. The reader can feel the instant connection they have as soon as they meet. They're words and eye contact tells it all. Hazel constantly worries about her parent’s lives and the lives of her friends, while also struggling each day to just live without making an impact, totally the opposite of Augustus.<br/> Although I had heard this was like many other cancer related novels, this one was different. The fault in our stars is realistic. To anyone that's ever had feelings for anyone they have an instant connection to this book. The part that really got to me was Augustus willingness to give up his one wish for Hazel. Peter Van Houten, the author of An Imperial Affliction (Hazels favorite book) , agrees to tell Hazel what happens in his unfinished novel, but only if she can come to Amsterdam, where he resides. Hazels plan to keep herself unnoticed so she won't be missed and could never make any ""feel like they were all wounded in her battle."" Although she tries to keep that part of her, love changed her, like it changes all of us.<br/>  I loved this book. Hazel and Augustus are great characters and are so easy to connect to. I could laugh and cry right along with them at many points. This book is definitely worth their time, and it’ll change you right along with Hazel.</span>"

Teenagers dealing with cancer are pushed into a group counseling setting.  The upside to this is that they can be around people who don't treat them as tragic heroes who can do no wrong.

I knew it would be even harder for me to read while dealing with Mom's health issues. I am very glad I waited. I will definitely not be seeing the movie. But, I'm glad I read it</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1BR0SG9LLGBBV?ASIN=014242417X	A truly amazing and inspiring book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">In my opinion, the theme of this book is to live life to the fullest because you’re never going to know when you will take your last breath. As long as you have friends and family, you can make it through any difficulties you might face. Cherish every minute you spend with the people you care about. You never know when people will leave for good.<br/><br/>  This book is about a teenage girl that has cancer. She attends a support group that contains many locals that have or has had some type of cancer. She faces some hardships along the way but also falls in love. The book is very inspiring and leaves you with a lot of mixed emotions. It is a book that takes you on a journey with the characters.<br/><br/>  I really liked this book. It is one of my favorite books. One reason is because it’s about two people falling in love that have similarities but also have very many different qualities. It’s very inspirational because it teaches you many lessons throughout the book. Each time you read it, it gets better and better.<br/><br/>  In conclusion, this book is amazing. It takes you on a journey with the characters and it is truly extraordinary. It leaves you very emotional, but it is worth it. This book makes you realize that you don’t have it as bad as you think you do. I would recommend this book to anyone that likes to read.  It is definitely one of my favorite books.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3NV44GGF3YIF9?ASIN=014242417X	Wow	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Everyone had been telling me that I needed to read this book. I decided that I'd try it but I did not believe it could live up to the hype. I was wrong. It greatly exceeded my expectations. John Green is a brilliant writer. His characters feel real and while this is a romance, he does not romanticize what they are going through at all. I enjoyed getting to know Hazel and I have now purchased Looking for Alaska and Paper Towns and I am sure they will both be great!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RLOFNDY39BQ05?ASIN=014242417X	I would have rated it a 5 in high school	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I did not know about this book until I saw it at #3 on the Amazon Best Sellers list and figured why not give it a try, the premise seemed interesting and I could always read a good book.<br/><br/>The book is good, not great, but good. It reminded me of a finely tuned 'teenage' book about struggle and love, and that's fine since that is obviously what the book was aimed at. I almost felt like I was in an episode of Dawson's Creek watching it, with the tragedy and the big words that these teenagers were using. The book made it seem like the cancer patients talked more eloquently and intelligently than those without cancer. That part of the book turned me off.<br/><br/>However, the story is interesting and there are a few parts that caught me off guard and had me kept turning the page to see what would happen next. The ending borderlines on cliche but it wasn't a terrible ending at all.<br/><br/>I will definitely check the movie when it comes out.</span>"

I think its really cool how they live in Indianapolis and how a character went to north central high school because I go to north central high school. It makes me excited because they go to places I have been to in Indianapolis such as broad ripple and holiday park. The protagonist lives 20 minutes from me. I just love how they live near me. Its a really exciting and relatable feeling. So far the book is undescribable. All I can say is I am excited and it puts me in tears.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2DTGBEUPRRABL?ASIN=014242417X	Incredible read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">All readers get the benefit of the rewrite mentioned in the book's synopsis.  Let's start with the characters, truly believable, fully developed, quirky, funny, angry, sad, and so very intelligently reflective of their being.<br/><br/>Green writes a beautiful love story for Hazel Grace and tells it from her point of view.  She strikes me as wise beyond her years and trying to live her life fully and honestly.  She's not particularly fond of her cancer support group, but it  is there she meets Augustus Waters and experiences romantic love for the first time.<br/><br/>I enjoyed and respected Hazel's honesty, I enjoyed her plight to find out what happened to her book characters created by Peter Van Houten.  I suffered his indignity and self-failure at the loss of his young daughter.  And there was Augustus's cruel recurrence of the disease...so unfair, hurtful of so many affected by his remission and recurrence.  And as the book reminds us, the world isn't in the business of granting wishes for any of us.  It's all about how we react and accept our given path.<br/><br/>Such an easy book to love, and to read.  It delves into lust and love, the failure of those we deem important when they can not deal with the issues at hand, and it promises that life will go on for the ones we leave behind.  It was sad, funny, and intelligent.  It has become a personal favorite and I will re-read it time and again.</span>"

It takes a lot for a book to make me cry, but this book did that perfectly. This story is so addicting and sweet, and you wish you were Hazel half the time. You get so emotionally invested in this book. You feel when the book is over, your life is over. It took me so long to get over this book, and I'm still not 100% over it. Now the womb will reopen when I got and see The Fault in Our Stars movie June 6th!</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3OK01WWAYGDG2?ASIN=014242417X	A Heart-warming, Irreverant and Unique Human Story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">There's a passage in ""The Fault in Our Stars"" by John Green, that's taken from Shakespeare. Whereupon Cassius says, ""The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars / But in ourselves."" And that is about as serious as it gets, as far as literature goes.<br/><br/>The cancerous condition of teenage characters force them to confront the big questions about life and death much sooner than other mere mortals who have expectations of living a full term. The bigger universe is a mess of bouncing molecules, a kind of organized chaos, and at a human level, we have to make the best of what we're given in this chaotic life. Or to take a phrase, oft repeated, ""What a slut time is. She screws everybody.""<br/><br/>Narrated by the heroine, Hazel Lancaster is an angry teenager, biding her time with thyroid cancer, with over-attentive parents frightened she might take her last breath at any moment. She also has an inseparable bond with a portable oxygen tank on wheels and tubes stuck in her nose because her lungs won't cooperate, most of the time.<br/><br/>She puts up with this to spare her parents the agony of her inevitable departure, and so she can make it to the Cancer Kids Support Group meetings, which served no purpose until she meets a charming, blue-eyed boy named Augustus, otherwise known as 'Gus.'<br/><br/>The effects of cancer has crippled them both, but in different ways. Yet they share the same perspective and philosophy of life. They both have this delightful irreverent sense of humor. Especially Hazel, who's very quick with the wit.<br/><br/>Gus is kind of a dreamer, wanting to believe that he's special, like most teens, anxious to leave a mark in the world. To somehow be remembered. Hazel, on the other hand, is a realist, often reminding those around her that they're living with the grim reality that her time, and their time, will ultimately be up.<br/><br/>In spite of the melancholy aspect of the characters fates, the book is mostly laugh-out-loud funny. The two teenagers are easily the ones you want to add as Facebook friends. Yet it is poignantly sad in parts, but thankfully, not over-dramatic.<br/><br/>John Green has done a remarkable job of making the sobering subject matter of cancer in young people's lives a very real and human story. Despite being faced with the realities of the pain, anger and shame these young adults faced every day, we're compelled to keep reading because it's funnily told; enlightening because of its philosophical bent and heart-warming because of its romance.<br/><br/>""The Fault in Our Stars' is a memorable book of fiction with inspiring life lessons for us all.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3EGA7IKJFU6R4?ASIN=014242417X	I don't see what others love about this book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I really don't see why this book has such great reviews. I debated not even finishing the book... that is how much I did not like it once I started reading it. It just seems so unrealistic, the entire thing. From Hazel and Gus meeting and then falling in love, to meeting the author of their favorite book. It just all seemed so implausible. The only saving grace for this book was near the end when I finally felt connected to Hazel (I don't want to give away any spoilers!). There was only one point in the book where I actually felt real emotions toward any of the characters, other than that I did not connect with this book like others have.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R167U66GNYA5AY?ASIN=014242417X	Great Book!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">To start off, I will say that the fault in our stars is a great book, you will absolutely fall in love with the characters. However it is about teenagers with cancer, so it will get a little depressing. With that being said the book isn’t completely focused on cancer, it’s focused on the characters that happen to be living with cancer. The plot advancement in the book is character driven, not cancer driven. Cancer isn’t this big dark cloud looming over the characters, it’s just a part of them and they have accepted it. This acceptance makes the cancer secondary to the characters. It allows the reader to focus on Hazel and Augustus’s love story; making the book funny and enjoyable to read<br/>  The narrator is Hazel Lancaster, she was diagnosed with thyroid cancer at the age of thirteen. With cancer treatments and frequent trips to the hospital, Hazel hasn’t had much time for a social life. So she spends her time reading, watching America’s Next Top Model with her mom, and going to the Cancer Kid support group at the request of her mother. The support group is where her entire life changes, she meets Augustus Waters. A teenage boy who lost part of his leg to bone cancer. They are immediately attracted to each other and eventually fall in love.<br/>Augustus is basically every nerdy girl’s dream guy; he doesn’t smoke cigarettes as a metaphor, is witty, reads books, is romantic, and is charming beyond all belief.  He is almost unrealistic, but at the same time, he plays video games and reads novelizations of his favorite video game, so he’s not that unrealistic<br/>Now don’t get me wrong I absolutely loved the characters, but to they do seem slightly unrealistic when you compare them to healthy average teenagers. You have to keep in mind that John Green wrote these characters, so they’re going to be highly intelligent people. Green constantly writes intelligent characters, because he is obviously a highly intelligent person. Most of the time characters in a novel are usually some extension of the writer. Their intelligence coupled with the fact that they’re dying is constantly on their minds. They’re obviously going to have more complex ideas about death and oblivion than other teens. The teens in the novel don’t have time to be stupid and not think about death and oblivion until they’re older because they don’t know if they’re going to get any older. Their circumstances have forced them to forgo the YOLO philosophy towards life and think at a much higher level than what’s expected of most teenagers. I personally think it’s refreshing to see teenagers that are witty and thoughtful. Teenagers are often portrayed as unthinking and overdramatic in the media.<br/> The language that Green writes for the characters completely fits with the character’s personalities. In between them using words that were so out of the ordinary I had to Google, they would use words such as ‘like’ and ‘bro’ making them more relatable and likeable to the readers. Green was able to use language to create intelligent, and complex, but very realistic teenagers.<br/> This book is one of the best books that I have read in a long time, you will be hooked once you read the first paragraph. Green writes characters that are relatable to teenagers and adults alike, making “The Fault in Our Stars” perfect for everybody.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2Q1R1XTWUO8HL?ASIN=014242417X	No Wonder this Book Won Best Fiction 2012	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">John Green is a genius. As soon as I finished the Fault in Our Stars I went out and got the rest of his books. Here's a gem for you: 'As he read, I fell in love the way you fall asleep: slowly, and then all at once.'<br/><br/>This book was heart wrenching. I have shed a tear or two during movies due to the visual emotionality, but never for a book where my own imagination cannot fathom the level of emotion necessary to bring me to tears. This book was the first book to make me fight those tears (I don't like to cry). This book is so well written, it will make you cry if you are at all susceptible to human emotion and the gut-wrenching cruelty of life.<br/><br/>The dialogue may have been fantastically unrealistic for normal teenagers but it was a grave insight into the small percentage of intelligent, thought-provoking, side-effects of life (sick children). The characters were entirely too introspective into matters they should have no conception of, except that they are not normal, they are extremely sick.<br/><br/>This is a young adult novel that transcends the genre in ways many of them can't because it deals with concepts that apply to young and old alike. Cancer affects so many people, directly and indirectly and the way John Green wrote this novel, makes it a perfect piece of fiction to understand what happens during and after being afflicted with a terminal illness. John Green did not stop there, though, he wrote a story to end all stories and characters that rise above and beyond my expectations of characters. This book was an excellent read and I recommend it to everyone.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1PPUWMDRSVAY3?ASIN=014242417X	John Green, you did an amazing job on this.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">When I was in third grade, I was diagnosed with Stage II thyroid cancer. So, you can imagine my surprise when I found a book with a girl who also had thyroid cancer even though she had a worse condition. The Fault in Our Stars, by John Green, (realistic fiction) is a surprisingly good book.<br/><br/>The Fault in Our Stars takes place in modern day Indianapolis. The main character is Hazel Grace Lancaster. She is a sixteen year old girl who was diagnosed with Stage IV thyroid cancer at the age of thirteen. The main conflict is the complications that occur in the relationship between Hazel and Augustus Waters. Hazel and Augustus meet at a support for people with cancer.<br/><br/>I absolutely love The Fault in Our Stars. Not only do I think that it perfectly describes the emotions and thoughts of a person with cancer, I think the voice, attitude and personality of the characters is written beautifully. John Green does not just write a story of cancer, he writes a love story of two teenagers that have been different because they have cancer. Green makes every moment realistic and every scene is as if you are right there in the book with the characters.<br/><br/>The Fault in Our Stars is for young adults and up because of the mature content and powerful ideas and themes (in addition, there is also profound language). I also feel that this age group can relate the best to the characters’ struggles. However, if there is a middle schooler who has or had cancer (like me) I think they should definitely read it. Anyone who does read this book should definitely have a box of tissues near by.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R367SSFT6MCOO8?ASIN=014242417X	Careful while driving..	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I ordered the audiobook. SinceI am a full-time college student,listening to audio books in between classes has been my way of getting my personal/fun reading time.I can't tell you how many times I was stuck in a driveway or parking lot waiting and praying for a chapter to, and not to end. I will also tell you this, carry tissues in the car, and be careful while driving. I almost had to pull over at one point and I showed up to class once with very red eyes and nose. However, I can say that it was one of the most fabulous books I've ever ""read"" and John Green has an amazing way with words. I really, and highly, recommend this book and a good supply of tissues on hand. Then after you've read this book, go read Looking for Alaska.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2V10UWUL7H651?ASIN=014242417X	Some infinities are bigger than other infinities.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">How audacious would it be to write a Young Adult novel about two smart, likeable, compassionate, brave teenagers—both stricken with cancer—and avoid all the sappy clichés, trite stereotypes, and formulaic plot devices that saturate the genre while crafting a beautifully composed, honest, poignant, and unforgettable work of literature? As it turns out, pretty darn audacious—and John Green pulls it off brilliantly.<br/><br/>Hazel Grace and Augustus, the protagonists of this incredible book, are not only impressively crafted characters—they are also persons I would love to know in real life. Although he tackles themes Shakespearean in stature (the title itself is a modification of a line from *Julius Caesar*), Green brilliantly creates very real characters dealing with very real tragedies. He also manages to capture the spirit of 21st-century adolescent in all its complexity. The result is not only one of the best Young Adult novels you will ever read but one of the best novels (period) that you will ever read.<br/><br/>So stop reading this review, and start reading *The Fault in Our Stars*. Right now.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1HNGANBOF9XN0?ASIN=014242417X	Star Spangled Hope	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book at first review set me back a little because of the negative reality of cancer and the proponents therein. However, after reading, I found hope that lingered throughout the opening sadness and presented a light that led to a rainbow of support! At first, the support was all wrong but when the author got it right, it worked. This book puts the Self-Fulfilling Prophecy in action. I feel that people can read this book and develop a sense of hope that goes beyond the limits of the medical profession. I recommend this book for all medical offices, libraries, and for those who need hope to survive health-related illness.<br/><br/>Reviewed by Michael Provitera, author of the children's storybook ""Happy Go Lucky!""</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RIGGAFKVQTFO6?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in Our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">""You don't get to choose if you get hurt in this world old man but you do have some say in who hurts you. I like my choices. I hope she likes hers."" -Augustus Waters, The Fault in Our Stars. The Fault in Our Stars is a Realistic Fiction book about the struggle of battling Cancer with someone you love. Basically, though, it is about the struggle of battling the hardships of life.<br/><br/>Hazel Grace is a 16-year-old girl living in Indianapolis, Indiana. She was diagnosed with lung Cancer when she was thirteen years old. That, of course, is something that has held her back since then. She doesn't really go anywhere except for some classes at a community college, where her mom usually waits outside for her. Then one day, she goes to support group (a group that provides support for people with Cancer), and her whole life changes. There is a guy there, who won't stop staring at her. He is not just any guy, however. He and Hazel Grace end up being perfect for each other. They fall in love, in a very special way that you don't see every day. They do many fun things together, all of which they enjoy thoroughly. Hazel, however, didn't want to fall in love with him at the beginning because she didn't want to break his heart when she dies, which she knows is closer than she wants it to be. There are other setbacks, but I don't want to give anything away.<br/><br/>In my opinion, this book was impeccable. Even though it was a real tear-jerker, it was heartfelt, sensitive, and romantic. The relationship between Hazel Grace and Augustus Waters (the guy she falls in love with) is the kind of relationship that movies try to capture, but never get it. It is the kind of relationship that can't be stopped by the fact that Hazel will die sooner than anyone wants her to, and Augustus will be heartbroken and sad for a long time. Their relationship is one that can take anything, and it is the relationship that is the least likely to break, by anything other then death. I loved this book, so much that it is my new favorite book.<br/><br/>I would recommend this book to anyone who appreciates a romantic book that has an extremely meaningful relationship between people who are struggling with hardships so sad and serious as Cancer. Also, someone who appreciates really good relationships in families and friendships would really like this book. The bond between all of these characters was something that made this book even better for me. The only thing that I would say about people who shouldn't read this is, this book is really sad at some parts. I, personally, cried my eyes out at the last parts of the book. So, someone who can handle this kind of sadness and this amount of sadness would fall in love with the book, just like I did. I loved this book so much that I can proudly say that The Fault in Our Stars is my new favorite book.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2UEHBA26MWO1Z?ASIN=014242417X	No Fault in these Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Where to begin?  I was skeptical; this book has received such uniform rave reviews that I hesitated to read it for fear of disappointment. (I tend to have that reaction to any media that gets so incredibly over-hyped; it's not a unique reaction in my case.)  So it's taken me close to two years since the book's publication to finally read it.  Disappointment is the last thing I felt.  I started and finished the book on a single plane ride and I laughed and cried throughout the read and the flight (much as I'd done several days earlier with David Levithan's Two Boys Kissing).  I feel like I've been throwing the word ""devastated"" around a lot in relation to these two books as I've talked about them on Twitter and with friends, but it's the word that works: TFIOS was, for me as a cancer survivor from a family of cancer survivors and victims of all ages, an emotional rollercoaster, and I was well and truly shaken by the end. Because of course, it didn't go where I was expecting it to go.<br/><br/>When you're told the main character has a terminal diagnosis before the book even starts (it's in the cover copy and the descriptions on all major book outlets), you sort of expect the story to play out a certain way. Part of what makes this book so solid is that Green doesn't take the easy path to the ""Brian's Song"" ending we're all expecting, and in fact doesn't deliver the ending expected (or, at least, the ending I was expecting). That's about all I can say about how the book ends without spoiling it.<br/><br/>The other thing Green does so well is get us invested in the characters. Hazel is our first person narrator, and she tells her story in the clipped, fast, electronic-media-practiced voice of a modern teenager. So she sounds authentic to my ear. And yet her voice is also capable of great detail when the story demands it, as befits a girl whose favorite book is not only a doorstop of a literary novel but who also reads that book in hardcover rather than on her phone or e-reader.  And although we only see Augustus Waters and Isaac through Hazel's eyes, we still know exactly who they are because she's proven early on to be a reliable, and not histrionic, narrator.  I was not surprised by either boys' reaction to certain plot developments because Hazel understands her friends and thus I do.<br/><br/>The only somewhat major character who falls flat, and perhaps this is intentional, is the author that Hazel idolizes. It doesn't spoil any major plot points to say that he is a buffoon. There's no other way to put it and no reason to be polite about it, because Green isn't polite about it.<br/><br/>Anyone who is related to a cancer patient (whether that patient is terminal or not) knows that at some point, life becomes about Managing Expectations. Which, for many of us, means ""lowering expectations."" Not giving up -- I didn't, my mother didn't, my friend Jay Lake (a/k/a jaylake) certainly hasn't -- but adjusting each day's expectations to what emotional burden we can bear on that day.  Throughout the book, Hazel and her parents navigate that rough sea with about as much honesty as can be expected; they manage their expectations a day at a time to help them cope. In contrast, most other characters (most notably Isaac, but also Augustus' parents) don't have the mind-set to manage (nor the acceptance to lower) expectations. This provides some of the core conflict in the book.  And while TFIOS is a love story, at the important moments the romantic drama takes a back seat to the very real pain cancer brings not only to the patient but to everyone around the patient.<br/><br/>Even with all the tears I shed reading the book, I still came away loving Hazel, Augustus, and even Isaac. This is not, by any means, an easy book to read. But it's an important book to read.<br/><br/>Also, I thought I'd share the video for the song Australian YouTuber Troye Sivan wrote based on the book. His video, shot at a local children's cancer hospital, is as touching as the book itself.  I hope you enjoy it:<br/><br/>[...]</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1GVJIP7Z8HCI3?ASIN=014242417X	Phenomenal! Read it now!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is really going to be a love letter of a review to a one John Green. Holy freaking cow, this book was phenomenal. I’ve had kind of a rough year, with a lot of big changes and heartbreak happening in my life, and I won’t lie, it’s really taken a toll on my reading and blogging. I’ve found it harder to connect with and enjoy books and blogging because my life has been in a bit of a disarray and this has really upset me… but anyways, this is all to say TFiOS made me feel that passion for reading again… FINALLY! While I was reading it, I remembered why I loved reading so much and for the first time in months, I couldn’t put a book down. As soon as I finished it, I made my mother read it. This was my first JG book, but it will NOT be my last. I’ve been wanting to read him forever now, and I’m so glad I finally have.<br/><br/>Basically, John Green freaking nailed it. For realsies. How he so accurately captured the voice of a 16 year old female, I will never know, but he did, and it was awesome. Hazel’s character felt so real and her emotions, negativity, outlook on life… all seemed so dead on.  Augustus was charming, sweet, witty… and if I wasn’t over 18, I would for sure be like, “boyfriend!” I just LOVED these characters, which definitely contributed to my book love here.<br/><br/>Gahhh emotions. Oh, the emotions I felt, the highs and lows, the laughs, the almost tears… I felt it all. I love a book that can make me feel and I FELT so much during this book. I was so connected to the story, and invested in their lives and it was Just. So. Beautiful… all of it, even the sadness. I love that John Green captured the realities of this illness, and that he never once sugarcoated it. We saw the nitty gritties, and heard about all the nasty things having to do with cancer, BUT we also saw Hazel and Augustus for who they were as people, not just cancer kids. He brought them to life, even if they didn’t always feel like they were living. I loved the things they learned, the lessons they taught each other, the way they changed each other’s lives… it was all so powerful, but still down to earth and realistic.<br/><br/>I just loved this book more than words and I’m sorry for the babble. All I can say is READ THIS BOOK! READ IT NOWWWW!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RXS3DHZ3JRKOJ?ASIN=014242417X	Really well done book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I had heard a lot of hype about the book, and this had the most reviews I had seen on Amazon (besides the Fifty Shades Trilogy), so I figured I would give it a try. I had never read a John Green book, though I was aware of his writings.<br/>I have to say that, like most other readers, I enjoyed this book immensely. It is a great story, and Green makes it clear that he has done his research on cancer, and he really gets into the reality behind it. I was glad to see that Hazel, the narrator, was not constantly seeking sympathy or being emotionally distressed over her Cancer, but she keeps a very realistic and honest view of the world.<br/>The plot is well designed, and because I'm usually not good at seeing into the future of a book, I was pretty surprised by the big plot twist that comes about 2/3 into the book. Green really does keep the reader on edge, though, which, for a story which, in retrospect, was so simple, is no small feat.<br/>The reason I gave this four stars is that it didn't quite match up with some of Green's other work, notably Looking for Alaska. I read LfA the week after TFiOS, and I have to say, with trepidation, that I liked Alaska a lot more than this book. Though TFiOS was realistic and strongly crafted, it didn't have the same effect as LfA did on me. Maybe that's just a personal thing?<br/>Anyway... This book is well worth a read, and if you're planning on seeing the movie, DEFINITELY read this first!</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3NKF3L99QADMZ?ASIN=014242417X	Worth 5 stars for the writing alone...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This review will be kept as simple as possible.  A great book with some excellent writing, writing that feels like it's an actual conversation you're overhearing shared by a few teenagers who are going through their various (and serious) struggles in their lives.  Okay, while I do admit that though the main characters are supposed to be smart, I still think the writing was a BIT overdone at least in some instances of their conversations.  Like come on, what teenager talks like that in THAT kind of circumstance?  Like sometimes there'd be long sentences of dialogue that are heavily peppered with overly big words, and it wouldn't be just one character expressing it.  Now had it been just one character, it would have been fine, but to have two different characters who speak in the same sort of...overly intellectual manner was a little tough to grasp.  I just found myself thinking, come on, no one talks like that.  I'd present examples if I had the book in front of me, but since I don't, I'll move on.<br/><br/>Despite those moments where the writing is a little too much, they were still so minor and easily overlooked when you take into account the rest of it.  The writing, the characterizations (I just absolutely ADORED Hazel's mother in this book), and the gut-wrenching seriousness of what I was reading just made for an extremely wonderful read.  You find yourself getting so emotionally invested in the world being created here that event though you may have suspicions of what might happen, you can't help but be enchanted by it all.  Heart-wrenching, gut-punching, soul-achingly beautiful is this world and yes, you will cry.  A great great read.</span>"

The characters in this book were 5 star without a doubt, all of them so well written and believable if... the two main characters had been 35 years old. But... I just don't believe teenagers are capable of the kind of depth and insight portrayed in this book. Had the two main characters been even in their mid-twenties their maturity and depth of insight might have been believable but teenagers? Nope, just not believable.<br/><br/>Nonetheless, this is a gloriously written book that I won't forget and will no doubt re-read.<br/><br/>Bravo John Green</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Just to reiterate what others mentioned, the characters cannot be so advanced for 16 and 17 year olds. Man, I wish I could think and talk like  these kids (despite being in my mid 20's and two stints of graduate work.)<br/><br/>Overall, I'm glad I took the day or so to read this novel, since John Green does such a wonderful job of creating this cancer-stricken world. His humor really shines through the words, which makes a seemingly depressing novel something more - and incredibly poignant.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R30J2H0I4TDPCV?ASIN=014242417X	TFiOS	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I loved this book!  I'm not usually a crier when I read a book but this one had me bawling on an airplane, in an airport, and at my in-law's house!  I agree with other commenters that the teenagers do feel a little advanced/suave, more like people in their 20s, but not all the time and not enough to take away from my enjoyment of the book at all.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1NU0GZJTGSQ2R?ASIN=014242417X	Beautiful and Heartwarming	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book made me laugh, cry, sigh, and smile.<br/><br/>The dialogue between the characters is wonderful. I love Hazel's quick wit and dry sense of humor. Some say she acts to old to be a teenager, but I would say a teenager who has gone through as much as she has will seem older than most.<br/><br/>This book takes on some heavy themes, but I think it shows an accurate portrayal of the emotions that can be experienced by teenagers who have a ""fault in their stars"" and help the rest of the world empathize with the reality of childhood cancer.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RWN6HMZ5RXYM8?ASIN=014242417X	Definitely a Tear Jerker - but one of my favorite reads	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I have not cried this much in a book since the second time I read Lurlene McDaniel's April Lancaster books. I loved the characterizations and the humanness of it all. There were no heroes, in the traditional sense, just people trying to do the best with what they could. While the diseases were a big part (for many reasons), their lives were more important and you can't help but fall in love with Augustus as Hazel does and want to hold and comfort Isaac over his evil ex-girlfriend (who, really, you kind of sympathize with).</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R21MRJR27IEKGG?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Witty, thought-provoking, incredibly smart, and a true treat. I keep going back to hilarious dialogue and thoughtful prose, quoting and quoting and quoting. I LOVE this book, as it's reinvigorated a literary hunger that I have so missed. The reason for reading, a my escape, and characters that I will be happy to fall in love with over and over again. Recommended highly!!</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1NCU3WQVOBGV0?ASIN=014242417X	This book is something else.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I have to say, this is possibly the happiest tragedy I have ever read. It achieves that quality, simply through the presence of cancer from the beginning to end, the end comes and you think it couldn't get any sadder, and John Green reminds you why you are, by making you laugh at the characters.<br/><br/>Cleverly written, the devil is in the details. I would recommend to anyone who loves a great love story, on the condition they pace themselves or have a bottle of water to recoup fluids from lost tears.<br/><br/>There's a reason its a best seller, and becoming a movie.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1UZ4DMICD1VBD?ASIN=014242417X	I don't often write reviews but when I do I prefer..............	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I am not a big reviewer.  The last one I wrote I was in high school in 1998 in El Salvador.  After wading through the reviews and considering the validity of the book, I decided this was the book to write about. I plan on returning to teacher high school English next year.  When I taught last time, students recommended the new standard fare such as the Twilight series or the Hunger Games.  I really wanted to get into YA fiction to reach the students and figure out what was going on in the teen age mind.  I really don't care for sci-fi novels but, I found Twilight sophomoric. I used Twilight in a reading course with an audiobook, the kids enjoyed and asked good questions like ""How come there aren't black characters in the book?""  Stuff to show they were thinking.<br/>But...........<br/>The Fault in Our Stars had something going on special, there were no discernable false notes, it ran the gamut of hysterical to morbid to profoundly sad.  I just could not get enough.  This author seemed to write a universal story, teenagers happened to be the characters.  The character development and voice were spot on, Mr. Green was impressive in the technical elements and yes, there may not have been much of a plot but........such is life, many times there is no big wow. In life, there are glimpses into the Beauty and Sublime just like in this book.  I just empathized with the characters and I felt the book added something to me.  Like it became a part of me, this coming from a guy who reads serious history and high literature most of the time.  I was sorry when the journey with these kids was over and I closed the book and said good bye.<br/>I just hope Hollywood does not ruin it.  Not bad for a book, I picked up at the library just because I wanted to see why it was a best seller.  Literature is transendental and transformation therefore, this is literature on some level and there is a little of the characters in all of us.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R6QHYIXN2MDAM?ASIN=014242417X	THE MOST AMAZING BOOK EVER, the review is on product condition	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I really love this book and decided to finally buy my own copy and complete my John Green collection.  But when I received the book in the mail almost a quarter of the pages were bent and wrinkled within the cover.  Although it arrived on time I was very dissapointed to have the book in less than perfect condition, as I bought it new.  So its a great book that everyone should read but they need to be more careful in packaging the product.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1U4UI2IUSBHCE?ASIN=014242417X	Incredible Work	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Although up until now I have found John Green's writing to solely appeal to a very young generation, ""The Fault In Our Stars"" is definitely an exception.  This book afforded the author the opportunity to indulge the heart of his true self and his craft and talent. This is one you won't be able to put down, regardless of your age. I doubt if the movie will do it justice!</span>"

I know they are just an invention of your magnificent mind! But for God sake, for the peacefulness of my soul, as I deserve justice -- please tell me.. What happened to Hazel Grace? Is she still reading the “An Imperial Affliction”? Did she survive cancer? To her mom and dad? Did her mom become a great Patrick? Is her dad crying less frequently now? What happened to Isaac? Did he ever receive those robots eyes? If he did, did he wear them and tried to see the world without Gus? (omitting seeing the girls shirts.) Please write US a sequel or an epilogue! :)<br/><br/>xoxo Hazel</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R8TD70SNT54ND?ASIN=014242417X	Cancer with humor....	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I have spent my life dealing with teenagers. This novel has the ""voice"" and sarcasm down better than any other book I have read. Given that the two protagonists meet in a cancer support group, that is no mean feat. Wildly funny and poignant at the same time, and never maudlin. A superior read.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R12JKB0HMW6SST?ASIN=014242417X	Lasting Impressions	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars is a book about two people and their battle against cancer, but the book does not develop as you would expect. I am one of those thousands of people on whom this fascinating story had a profound effect; there are a variety of reasons for my reaction.<br/> At the beginning you may think it has a cliché start, when Hazel’s condition has never been anything but terminal, her final chapter determined upon diagnosis. But as you keep reading it when a witty and charming Augustus appears in Support Group, her story is about to be rewritten and you won’t be able to put it down, not even for a minute.<br/>The exact moment when the story takes an incredible turn is when both main characters not just fall in love with each other but with their attitudes towards life. There may be other readers that don’t have the same impression as I do, but I really was able to empathize with them and their feelings. If I had to choose one specific event in the whole story that really twisted my arm I would definitely pick the end, when Hazel finally realises what Augustus tried to say with his last words.<br/><br/>At this point, when the book has already finished, you actually want more pages and characters to satisfy your thirst for the story. So for some readers like me that were looking for more real pages to touch your heart with courage and lasting impressions, this is the right book for you.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R27CUWY2WUL7CN?ASIN=014242417X	I absolutely love it!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I absolutely love The Fault In Our Stars. It is beautifully written and it really feels like it was written by a teenage girl with cancer rather than John Green. I felt that it was also very realistic rather than most books nowadays are. Most of the time it is a complete happy ending for everyone and in real life, things don't always end happily. So the fact that it showed that not everyone survives their fight against cancer is way more realistic than in most cases. Also, I really love how well developed the characters are and how everyone has a backstory and you really understand the characters. Even Peter Van Houten's story was told and you understood why he acted the way he did by the end of the book. Overall, I think this book was really awesome and I would recommend it to anyone who needs a book to read.</span>"

I have to admit I cried like a baby (that's only ever happened with one other book). So I'll definitely read more John Green.<br/> I also loved the condition the book came in. It got to my house on time, and it was quick. So I'll be buying more from the seller. As well as More John Green!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1PQP3DN74VBNU?ASIN=014242417X	Do I Need to Tell You This Is a Good Story?	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Cleverness abounds in John Green.  This one's far superior to ""An Abundance of Katherines"".  It's the closest to the emotional impact of ""Looking for Alaska"", but where that one was male POV, this one is female POV.  My personal preference is still for ""Alaska"" (emphasis on personal), but this might be his finest work yet.  It's certainly getting him press.<br/><br/>It's a tragic romance about a teen girl and a teen boy, both with cancer, and their daily struggles (spoiler: their daily struggles are much harder than ours, like being able to breathe).  And it's not schmaltzy like Nicholas Sparks -- no one kisses in the rain, no one writes letters (well, they do, but in a much MUCH better way).  It's much more realistic, and the tragedy is the realism of dying.  That it's not glorious or romantic, but authentic.  And that is so much more tragic and so much better.  And so much of a good story.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1ACLXW84FP1SN?ASIN=014242417X	Too plain	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read this book due to all the hype. I was quite disappointed! It is very much written for teenagers. The story is very vague and pretty boring. Is it a teeny bit sad? Yes, but the sad parts were very predictable. I wouldn't read a John Green book again, unless it's targeted for people older than 17.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R4OJSXNORV4WH?ASIN=014242417X	Just okay.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I had never read anything by John Green but heard great things about him on book tube so I decided to give this book a try. It was okay. I didn't care for his writing style but the story wasn't bad just not believable. I just feel teenagers who are fighting for their lives and are sick, scared wouldn't really joke about it as much as in this story. I also don't know any teens who speak the way Hazel, Gus speak. I know it's just a story but not the best one I've read. I know a lot of people love this book but it just wasn't for me.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R24DT9R8N3K6AQ?ASIN=014242417X	True Love Can Strike at Any Time	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">John Green not only captures all of the angst and excitement of first love, but he also layers the experience under the shadow of terminal illness. Inside the unlikely setting of cancer support groups and hospital ICUs, Green proves that true love does strike in the most unexpected times and places. While it might seem that Hazel and August's young love is doomed from the outset, Green portrays their relationship in an optimistic light.  Despite the inevitible tears, or perhaps because of them, this love story is not to be missed.</span>"

4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2V82T8CWOC7S?ASIN=014242417X	Excellent read for older teens and adults, too!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I loved the story of Hazel and Augustus -- it's smart, witty, well paced.  Some reviewers have been a bit hard on it, and while I noticed the aspects of the novel they found less than stellar, for me, these parts did not diminish the reading experience.  I agree that Peter Van Houten does not add a great deal to the story, except to show that reality is always different than what we dream, and to serve as a contrast between a person who has done little with his long life and two children granted way fewer years who shine brightly. As a high school teacher, I would love to have my  students read it; there's just SO much in this novel that's thought-provoking and uplifting.  The two main characters might try a bit too hard to be clever at times, and yes, maybe they do seem pretty mature, but I thought these behaviors had something to do with their journeys with cancer. The cleverness is part of coping; the [usually] mature behavior and speech is the result of spending too much time with parents and doctors. The best thing about ""Stars"" is that kids will read it.  I spend a good bit of time reading books that I think teenagers will relate to, and I must say, it is a huge challenge to find well written books that I can stand to read repeatedly myself AND kids will love.  Then I have to consider what parents will accept in terms of subject matter. So, thank you, John Green.</span>"

She was constantly asking me to read it and putting it near me for that reason.  Yesterday I decided to try it and was very pleased that I did.<br/><br/>It is a book about teens and teens will love it but parents and grandparents also should read it.  It was impossible to stop reading it  so I read it in one day and must complement our young lady on her good taste in books and authors.  She has more of his books and I will have to read some of these too.<br/><br/>Especially if you have a teen or child dealing with a health problem, this book will give you insight.  Or if you know of one or your teen knows of one, again this book will help you deal with all the various feelings and problems.  It won't make it easier but it will give some thoughts and things to reflect on.  Make sure you have a box of tissues nearby.</span>"

4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1KSMS9UJEIODQ?ASIN=014242417X	Not Just a Book About Cancer	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Readers can learn plenty from The Fault in Our Stars about the daily struggles and emotional angst that come with having cancer. But not even John Green can land a novel on the best-seller list for a year by writing about cancer alone.<br/><br/>Sixteen-year-old Hazel is terminally ill from what started out as thyroid cancer, a disease which has now settled into her lungs. For that reason, she has to wear an oxygen mask and tires easily, which she sometimes she uses to her benefit. Because her illness makes her different, Hazel has lost touch with her school friends, and so her parents encourage her to attend a support group. Hazel would prefer they buy her a fake ID so that she can go clubbing, drink vodka, and smoke pot. But she also wants to make her parents happy.<br/><br/>In the support group, Hazel meets Augustus. (How can one write about two teenagers and not including a love story?) Augustus is still well enough to attend school which means that, although he has lost one leg, he's considered a cancer survivor. The two immediately hit it off. They watch movies and play video games together, and share their favorite books. They also enjoy the occasional ""cancer perk"", which is what allows Augustus to have a driver's license and for the two to drink champagne. Due his unique blend of realism and sarcasm, Green handles teen romance as well as any author. But this wouldn't be a Green novel if it was only about love.<br/><br/>Hazel's favorite book is called An Imperial Affliction. Naturally, she likes it because the heroine has cancer, but she also loves the abrupt, realistic ending. And yet she wants to know what happened to all of her favorite characters. For that reason, she writes the author. And so does Augustus. Eventually the author replies, and a wish-fulfillment charity sends Hazel and Augustus to Amsterdam in search of him. The journey leads to the couple's first night together. And to a number of revelations, leading to unique plot twists in The Fault in Our Stars. One never knows what will happen in a John Green novel, which is part of what makes him a terrific writer.<br/><br/>That said, I've read enough of John Green's novels to know that there are a few constants. Ponderings about meaning of life are one of his staples. In the cancer support group, each attendee shares their fears. Augustus says, ""I fear oblivion."" In response, Hazel tells him that, ""There will come a time when there are no human beings remaining to remember that anyone ever existed or that our species ever did...."" After Hazel's little speech, the two hook up and share many happy moments together. They also battle cancer in their own ways. And they also sometimes talk about what it means to make one's mark on the world. For example, when the two visit the Anne Frank house, Hazel is most taken by all the names of Holocaust victims forgotten by the world at large; among them, only Anne Frank is memorialized by historical markers and museums. By the end of The Fault in Our Stars, I don't agree with all that Green preaches, but I do love the idea that each of us gets to choose who we hurt and who we help in our short or long lifetimes.<br/><br/>Writers always face a risk when they write about things that they have not experienced themselves. And yet John Green has never had cancer. So then, what of the book's authenticity? Well, I know that after college Green worked as a student chaplain in a children's hospital where he got to know a lot of people with cancer. And in researching this book, he talked with many families about cancer. Moreover, I know that The Fault in Our Stars was inspired by a real teen, who Green knew. For these reasons, I don't have reason to doubt the authenticity of his characters' cancer experiences.<br/><br/>And yet... My favorite read about cancer remains Regine's Book. Perhaps because it's a true story, it made me bawl the way that few books have. The Fault in Our Stars at times feels too preachy and philosophical. Maybe the reality is that no fiction book can get it completely right when it comes to cancer. Green however comes extremely close. So, my only remaining question is: When is the next book coming out? :-)</span>"

In the end, I cried like a thirteen year old girl. This book would have hurt less if Randy Johnson threw it at my face. (Note: Randy Johnson threw a wicked fast ball)</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R26ZVNCKLDG7Q5?ASIN=014242417X	Imperfect but I Believe that is the Point	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The beginning of this book actually really bothered me - to the point that I complained to my friend (who had read it) about it.  My mom and I have been known discuss our annoyance of writers who craft fictional children and teenagers - in books and movies - as being unbelievaby wise and smart, and more well-spoken than their adult counterparts, e.g. Lily on Modern Family.  Not only is that method employed prolificly in the beginning of this book but also the two main character teenagers (Hazel and Augustus) embark on a rom-com style relationship (not the beginning Sandra/Ryan-fighting-style but the end Sandra/Ryan-We-Are-Soulmates kind).  You want to know where my high school boyfriend is?  Jail.  Most likely.  And that'd be the best story I could hear about him.  He was no Augustus Waters. So you'll understand why I have problems when they make teenage boys into modern day Lancelots.  I never saw it.  Just sayin.<br/><br/>However...and this ia big ""however"", I do believe Green applied adult characteristics to these teenagers to make his point.  The point being to muse on the infinite intricacies related to dying, especially when you are staring death in the face (which we all essentially are).  Dying in the modern age brings additional complexities such as social media, specifically Facebook, which may end up be your biggest memoriam.  Is that sad or is that ok?  Does it matter?  Does any of it matter?  Green considers the questions and answers to these questions.  Questions that are unanswerable.<br/><br/>This book will give you a lot to think about regarding life and death, infinity and what that means; our search for meaning in this life and the fact that there really may be no meaning.  What Hazel and Gus have is love in this moment and that is their infinity.  At the end of the book I forgave everything I was faulting the book for in the beginning and absolutely believe the book was exactly how it needed to be; I wouldn't want to change a thing. But I do really miss Augustus Waters.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1I6Q7E2DNKS21?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in Our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Hazel Grace Lancaster has Stage IV Thyroid cancer with metastasis in her lungs. Every Wednesday her mother forces her to go to a support group for children with cancer. She usually is not social with anyone in the support group until Isaac, who lost his eye to cancer as a child and has to have the other removed, brings his friend Augustus Waters, who lost part of his right leg when he had osteosarcoma, to a support group session.<br/><br/>The relationship that Hazel and Augustus have is the most unrealistic relationship. It was one of those love at first sight relationships which rarely happen in real life. I mean the movie Frozen proves that you should get to know someone before you decide you want to spend the rest of your life with them. Towards the middle of the book their relationship seemed more real because they actually know each other. In conclusion, I felt the relationship between the two of them was rushed.<br/><br/>Many of the romantic quotes were sappy. When you write a book that is romantic you don't want it to be filled with sappy lines. I felt that Augustus was trying to win Hazel by saying sappy lines. When they weren't talking romantically they were talking philosophically and theoretically which became hard for me to understand at times.<br/><br/>I liked the second half of the book for many reasons. It was emotional, realistic, and relatable. I can't really explain why because I would be giving away the story but I am going to say that I suggest having a box of tissues nearby.<br/><br/>One thing I did not like about the ending of the story is it just leaves you there. This works for some books because the book is part of a series but I don't think John Green is going to make a sequel. Some endings leave questions unanswered but it is still complete. I do not think it was a complete ending.<br/><br/>If I were to rate this book I would give the first half three stars and the second half five stars so the average rating would be four stars.  A lot of my friends say it is the best book they have EVER read. I have to disagree. It was not the best book I read but I would still recommend the book to others. It really shows what cancer patients go through. One of the big ideas is that you don't know when your last day is going to be or when your friends last day is going to be so you should make everyday the best day. Not just for cancer patients but for everyone in your life. I can't wait for the movie in June. If you plan on watching the movie, I suggest reading the book first.</span>"

The book was good, but it's not a feel-good book by any stretch of the imagination.

I didn't find anything remarkable about it, though.  The characters were just OK, the plot was alright and somewhat predictable.  I didn't find the ending satisfying.  Having said all that, I did enjoy the book quite a bit.  I laughed out loud and I cried, there was just something missing from the story.  This is a book that will not shine in my library but is worth keeping around.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R17HNN3U208BPG?ASIN=014242417X	"""That's the thing about pain. It demands to be felt"""	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">From the very beginning, up to the very end, the story had me hanging on its every word. I could no put the book down (had it read within a day)... Ths story is told through Hazel's eyes, who allows us to ride the roller coaster of her emotions...from the way she feels about her illness to the way she falls in love with Augustus,  who seemingly shows up as her knight in shining armor. I found myself invested in their thoughts and feelings, going through an array of emotions with them, as if John Green made it a point to have us believe we were personal friends of theirs. I definitely recommend this for reading as it's not the stereotypical love story but something better and worse all at once. As you read you will become more aware of the space and people you're surrounded with and appreciate it/them even more. It's a story whose characters and their situations will more than force you to reflect about your own life.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3NQ0HMRSR9Z1W?ASIN=014242417X	Meh	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I had high hopes for this book based on the awesome reviews (and I was motivated to read it because of the movie trailer).  However, I did not really think it was that great.  Not much happened as far as the plot goes.  The way the teenagers spoke was completely unrealistic.  I also thought the characters were underdeveloped, especially Van Houten (why was he really THAT necessary?!).<br/><br/>It was an easy read though, but I wouldn't particularly recommend it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3ICB52ZS0VI5P?ASIN=014242417X	It's not what you think...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is beautifully written, moving, and thought-provoking. But it's not about what you think it's going to be when you first start reading. I can't say more about it without giving too much away. Suffice it to say that it's not just about death, but about life, love, loss, and relationships. I'll wait for the movie to come out on DVD, because I want to see it, but I don't want to bawl my eyes out in the theater.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RYN4UUD9MQ4ZJ?ASIN=014242417X	An Emotional, Surprising, Mature, & Fearless Tale -- One I Will Never Forget	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Hazel is too often defined by her cancer, but that all changes the day she meets Augustus Waters. He wants to get to know her outside of her illness, and he offers an otherwise unrealistic potential for her life--regardless of how long she gets. Above that, he offers the chance for love.<br/><br/>Before I began reading, I knew tears would be inevitable; but I had no clue just how emotionally raw I would feel page after page. At one point, I started ear-marking pages where I felt a strong emotional reaction. Halfway through, I stopped. One, because I had turned down most edges. Two, because I was too overwhelmed to take the time.<br/><br/>When Hazel overhears her mom saying ""I won't be a mom anymore"" (pg 117, hardcover) about the possibility of losing her daughter, I had to lay the book down. The tears were blinding. But there were many more moments where my heart literally hurt from the emotions this book made me feel. All I wanted was for Hazel to have a few moments of joy, to live her life unencumbered by cancer.<br/><br/>But beyond my raw emotional reaction... John Green has an amazing way with words. At first, I thought the ""young adult"" kids' language was unrealistic. With each page, the language grew on me. It defined Hazel and Augustus. These kids faced typical young adult issues in the most atypical way--defining themselves under circumstances most adults couldn't handle.<br/><br/>As if all of that wasn't enough, the story took a turn I was never expecting. The Fault in Our Stars is an emotional, surprising, mature, and fearless tale. It's a story I will never forget.<br/><br/>I can only hope the movie does it justice.</span>"

Perfectly written!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R289XMGT9DY15Z?ASIN=014242417X	More than just words	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book brought tears to my eyes. Not because it was sad in general but because for the first time I felt like I understand those who are diagnosed with cancer. It's a sad love story of course but it is also beautiful. Beautiful because John Green made his main characters real. Their fears, their struggles, their optimism, and so much more. This story will open your eyes to those who are faced with death every morning they wake up. It makes you appreciate the air you breath, the legs you walk on, the love you can easily fall in. Hazel &amp; Augustus are ironic in a way that they are so strong, including their love, but in black in white they are weak. Read this book and you will gain a great perspective on life and your judgement on those who not even doctors can understand. READ!</span>"

2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R8EUVZQUT4Y5H?ASIN=014242417X	Have Approximately 275 Tissues On Hand For This	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is golden. It tells the story of teen love in a way that is so different from most YA novels that they cannot be compared. The story centers around the blossoming love between a teenage terminal cancer patient and a boy in remission that she meets at a support group. It is a difficult read, particularly because you know from the beginning that at least one of them is not going to make it. Green writes their story perfectly however, showing that even in the face of oblivion and an impossibly shortened time frame, you can still find love and connect with other human beings. This story is full of feels and will definitely have you crying. It is very thought provoking and I highly recommend this to readers of all ages. Just bring your 275 tissues. You're going to need them.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2M7L0828AH2ON?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in Ourselves.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Who knew a book could change your whole perspective on events? Who knew you could wake up the next morning with a brand new perspective on the right way to live? To have all of these questions and ideas filter through your head that no one should ever have to think about, is one of the worst feelings ever. Imagine trying to sort through your mind about what life would be like for your friends and family if one day they woke up to notice that you lost your battle, not your ninja battle with your friends; but instead, a treacherous battle with cancer. John Green forced you to think of all the events that could happen to anyone but that you pray you’ll never have to live through. The book “The Fault in Our Stars” isn't just a novel about love and dealing with cancer. It brings on the emotions of the family members and the loved ones that lose themselves the second they lose their loved one. Three teenagers, 2 lovers, all friends are present in this book. As a reader, you are bound to end up falling in love with each and every one of them. You will feel the pain of their families and when they cry, the reader will want to as well. The main struggle isn't truly battling cancer. It’s the battle of trying to preserve a meaning of your life. The idea of not just being “that girl” or “that guy” is the true struggle in life. The reader will be thrown into the same choices and decisions as the characters and forced to consider their choices in life. The reader will become plunged out of their dream land and thrown into the real world where they can determine if they have sunk or paddled. “Sometimes, you read a book and it fills you with this weird evangelical zeal, and you become convinced that the shattered world will never be put back together unless (and until) all living humans read the book”, if any quote describes this book; it’s the quote right inside the actual novel. The Fault in Our Stars is a must read novel for lost souls just trying to find a little bit of meaning in the world.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1N3NL3OIKL22Y?ASIN=014242417X	Totally Amazing!!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars by John Green is a tragic love story between two teenagers.This tragic love story will capture your heart and make you want to have a story like theres. You will not want to put this book down after you start reading it. Lots of people think just because this book is about cancer its going to be about dying but you will change your mind completely when you read this book.<br/><br/>The characters of The Fault in Our Stars will capture your heart. They are no ordinary characters they are complex and have a unique way of thinking. The main two characters of The Fault in Our Stars are Hazel Grace and Augustus Waters. Hazel Grace a 17 year old girl who is dealing with a terminal form of cancer and that has to walk around with an oxygen tank. In the beginning of the book Hazel's mom thinks she has depression so sends her to a Support Group. Hazel did not want to go to the Support Group and when she least expected she would change her mind completely. Support Group where everything starts, thats when Hazel met Augustus a handsome seventeen year old guy who had osteosarcoma.<br/><br/>Hazel and Augustus soon take on their crazy journey, that includes love, sadness, and romance, while searching for the author of their favorite book. They both travel to Amsterdam where they were on the search for the author of the book named Peter Van Houten. This trip started of as any ordinary trip but all of that changed at the end.<br/><br/>This book is filled with humor.<br/>She said, ""I think he's hurting her boob.""<br/>""Yeah it's difficult to ascertain whether he is trying to arouse her or performing breast examining.""<br/>(Pg.19)<br/><br/>The Fault in Our Stars is absolutely one of the best book I have ever read. The plot twist in this book is absolutely amazing. You would never really imagine the major plot twist that happens in this book. The book will make you cry and laugh at the same time, this book will take you on a trip of emotions. As well of being filled with love and humor The Fault in Our Stars is also a very inspirational book.<br/><br/>In my opinion the theme of this book is to love and enjoy your life. You have to your life the best that you can with the people you love. Reading this book will make you realize that you have to live carefree and not worry a lot about the bad things. This book will inspire you to do all of this and more.<br/><br/> This book is for you if you want to be inspired, filled with humor and love. After you read this book you will never forget about their story.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R93BBFP2YR1VM?ASIN=014242417X	Incredibly amazing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">“What else? She is so beautiful. You don’t get tired of looking at her. You never worry if she is smarter than you: You know she is. She is funny without ever being mean. I love her. I am so lucky to love her, Van Houten. You don’t get to choose if you get hurt in this world, old man, but you do have some say in who hurts you. I like my choices. I hope she likes hers.”  Hazel Grace captures the heart of Augustus Waters. Only is a short amount of time, he falls in love with her. Fault in Our Stars is a unique book that explores the romance between two teenagers fighting against cancer.<br/><br/>Hazel Grace is a 17 year old girl that is fighting stage 5 thyroid cancer. When she goes to a cancer support group, she meets Augustus Waters, who is also also fighting cancer and has one leg. Both build a relationship, and she is totally head over heels for him and wants to be with him forever. Their experiences will make them think about what the meaning of life is when you’re going through something as bad as cancer with the people that you love, and the people that’s surrounded by you. It will also lead them to appreciate the present memories that have been created.<br/><br/>This book is filled with humor and love.<br/>She said, “I think he’s hurting her boob.”<br/>“Yeah, it’s difficult to ascertain whether he is trying to arouse her or performing breast examine.”<br/>(pg. 19)<br/>“But I believe in true love, you know? I don't believe that everybody gets to keep their eyes or not get sick or whatever, but everybody should have true love, and it should last at least as long as your life does.” Only have met Hazel Grace once and fell in love with her so quick, Augustus Waters come to realize that he is in love with Hazel Grace and want’s to be with her forever already. She makes him happy, and he can’t picture his life without her now.<br/><br/>The plot of the book is pretty predictable and very cliche in a way. Although it is pretty predictable, it does have some plot twists and it’s not just any little plot twist, it’s going to be a major one. This book you know is going to be about two teenager falling in love with the down side of both having to fight cancer and then a tragedy happens to one of them in the end that will lead them to appreciate the moments that they have shared with that special person.<br/><br/>The book will make you shed tears, smile and angry at some point and the way the author sets up the tone of the book will make you feel the way that it is supposed to. You will shed tears when you need to, feel angry when it comes to a certain part in the book. And it will definitely have you in your moments of awe’s<br/><br/>The main character Hazel Grace is a very interesting character. In the book, she uses a lot of big language that a normal teenager would not really use. Other than battling cancer, she can be very relatable. And is very complex.<br/>“Gus: ""It tastes like...""<br/>Me: ""Food.""<br/>Gus: ""Yes, precisely. It tastes like food, excellently prepared. But it does not taste, how do I put this delicately...?""<br/>Me: ""It does not taste like God Himself cooked heaven into a series of five dishes which were then served to you accompanied by several luminous balls of fermented, bubbly plasma while actual and literal flower petals floated down around your canal-side dinner table.""<br/><br/>The supporting character Augustus Waters is a 17 year old guy battling bone marrow cancer. He lives his life functioning with one real leg and one put on leg. He is a very unique and interesting character in the book. He is very funny, and his words are spoken metaphorically. For example, after coming out of support group, he pulls out a cigarette. She glances over and tells him that she he’s killing himself by smoking. He says to her, “It's a metaphor, see: You put the killing thing right between your teeth, but you don't give it the power to do its killing.”<br/><br/>Green spent some time with teenagers at Childrens Hospital, which inspired him to write this romance tragedy book. It gave him an opportunity to show people that although going through tough times, you can still manage to find love and happiness. This book gives us a sneak peek of how teenagers with cancer live their life on a daily basis. They live just normally just like the rest of us, but they are a little bit stronger than most of us because they live their life fighting against something that can most likely will kill them. We may not fully understand what’s it like to have cancer, but we know for sure know that it’s not going to stop anyone from finding love and happiness.<br/><br/>I strongly believe that the theme of the book is to love fully and presently. Make life meaningful with the people that you love and the people that love you. Life is too short to question every wrong and every right, and reading this book will make you realize that you have to live freely and be carefree through all downfall you are facing.<br/><br/>If you are in need of inspiration for humor and love, this is the book for you to read.</span>"

I've often loved YA literature for its ability to tell a powerful story through characters who are, at their cores, so much like us.  This novel does that, and so much more.  It is an emotionally raw, profound, and heartbreaking work that I cannot wait to read again.<br/><br/>And as a bonus, this novel brought me not only the story of Hazel and Gus (which will stay with me forever, I think) but it also brought me John Green, his brother Hank, the Nerdfighters, and the entire community and body of work created by people who want to make the world more awesome.  And for that, I wish I could give six stars.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2KBTDGW90SPTK?ASIN=014242417X	High expectations? I think not.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I've read much deeper &amp; interestingly plotted young adult novels than this one.<br/><br/>The turn of events was rather dull. I could predict everything before it happens in the story, so none of the ""significant events"" really moved or surprised me.<br/><br/>One plus side to this novel is that it does present the few realities of what it's like to have cancer. I have had a few family members and friends that have had cancer and I honestly hate how most stories present the cancer patient as such the pitiful angel, mental warrior, &amp; innocent dove, etc, when really, that may not be the case (and commonly isn't). It's a lot of pain, inability to eat (often w/ vomiting), emotional roller coasters, chronic fatigue, and a lot of other parts to the ugly that pretty much get brushed over before going back to painting the false picture about the sad yet accomplished life that a cancer patient can have. This novel, while following a few of these cliches, still does present the picture better than most novels I've read. Even so, this part was still brief.<br/><br/>For the most part, I was really disappointed and felt like this book was such a waste of time. I think that those who liked the movies Juno or 500 Days of Summer are most likely to like this book. (Kind of similar in the blandness of plot while trying to focus on some philosophy or the theme of the story which I felt like were really weak)... Sorry, not trying to hate on these so much, just not a fan of these kinds of stories. Where's the character development? These are young, high school kids that could have learned something from their whole experience together and yet, there's none of this explained or tied into the plot. Things just... happen. Dull. Boring. I really wanted to like this book but I just can't.</span>"

4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R55D1DSAIK73T?ASIN=014242417X	maybe I'll like the movie better	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is a story about teenagers with cancer who deal with life, love, and their cancers.  From the conversational language, you can tell that Hazel and Gus are smart and perhaps because they face death are wise beyond their years.  They don't talk or act like teenagers.  The Issac and Monica relationship is far more typical.  Until near the end of the book, Hazel doesn't deal with her parents and Gus never seemed to.  I certainly understand Hazel's desire for closure when her favorite book abruptly ends and there's no sequel.  The interactions between Hazel, Gus, and reclusive author Van Houten and his assistant seem more real.  Tragic ending as expected and one character dealing with the death of the other seemed real.  Not a book I would read again but maybe I'll like the movie better.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3TORC9UG68W9S?ASIN=014242417X	A Voice We Don't Always Hear	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I've read some reviews of this novel that bemoan the absence of the ""normal"" teenager in _The Fault in Our Stars_.  It is true that neither Hazel or Augustus come across as normal, but that is what happens when someone experiences cancer and is faced with the reality of his or her own mortality at such a young age.  Of course, they aren't normal.  Hazel never has been.  I don't know why it is so hard to believe that a teenager can have thoughts and feelings that don't revolve around boy bands, clothing, and friend drama.  Hazel and Augustus don't have the luxury of being ordinary.<br/><br/>The book is beautifully written and makes cringe-worthy observations that only people who have experienced ""the side effects of dying"" can really appreciate and understand.

2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2MG50U03KI36L?ASIN=014242417X	An Inspirational Story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I was in awe while I read this book.  The level of maturity of the main characters and their lovability made me fall in love<br/>with them. My heart ached throughout the story and broke at the end.  The parents were extremely supportive of each other, their child, other parents in similar situations, and accepting of their child's wants and needs.<br/>This book is so well written that you feel everything.  It's as if you are in the story and participating.<br/>This book is not for the faint hearted.  If read by my child I would read it too and then be open to their experience.  The book is truly inspirational and will not be easily forgotten.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RR4YXXPWE5ZDS?ASIN=014242417X	Heartfelt and Touching Story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">John Green writes fantastic books. He writes with a unique style but there is no question that he can brew up a great storyline. This book is about a girl meets boy and they fall in love, albeit with some differences from the traditional love story. It comes from a girl with cancer, and she has such trouble breathing, that she has to carry an oxygen tank around with her. She meets Augustus, a cancer survivor. They chat, they watched a movie, they shared books, and just had a great time. You could say they could have lived on pretty happy.<br/><br/>*Spoiler Alert*<br/><br/>Then Augustus is hit again with cancer, this time all over the body. He goes on a trip with Hazel to Amsterdam to see an author they both admired and had sex. It was after that, he revealed to her, he was diagnosed again with cancer. From then, it went downhill. The book matched the story with short 1-5 page chapters to tell about one of the days Hazel spent with Augustus as he got closer to his death. In the end, Augustus died, not long before his 18th birthday. Isaac, a mutual friend of Hazel and Augustus delivered a great speech at his funeral, but when it was Hazel's turn, she gave a touching, short speech that made my eyes sting.<br/><br/>This was a fantastic book, and a great joy to read. I definitely recommend it.</span>"

The author did an amazing job. But I think it needs to be continued. We need to know what happens to Hazel and Isaac. Does Hazel's health improve? How does Isaac's life turn out to be?

I'd like to remember it for the dazzling humor and entertaining dialogue. This was a page turner that I couldn't pull myself away from.<br/><br/>Hazel and Gus - what characters!

Even though the female does not want to fall in love because of reasons of leaving scars, the charming male is always finding unique things to make her happy.  This is a book about cancer victims, but I not only cried in this book, I also found myself laughing a great deal.  Awesome book.

Everyone and I mean EVERYONE kept telling me I needed to read this, I never disagreed but I also never really knew what it was about. Once I started reading it I was like Sh*%!!What have I gotten my poor sensitive heart into?! I was balling from the very first pages.<br/><br/>Okay, that was the rant here is the hard hitting analysis-&gt; I knew straight away that this book was going to pack a punch. Green is very witty and I loved Hazel's interactions with every one. Her infinity with Augustus was insanely endearing. The story was full of ugly truths and things that people don't want to admit. Hope is hope and it may not be the same for everyone, but without it everyone is surely lost. The writing as I said was very intelligent, thought provoking, and moving. There were a couple of things I didn't necessarily agree with unresolved issues and such, but hey as they say ""the world is not a wish granting factory.""<br/><br/>Warning* This book is filled with EXTREMELY POTENT emotion. Wear your big girl pantaloons ladies no room for your own ""Bluie"" in this one.<br/><br/>This was a great book and I do so recommend it, ""a must read"" at least ONCE.<br/><br/>Laters,<br/>Ria</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RPX9ZR22BL6VE?ASIN=014242417X	John Green, Where Have You Been all My Life?	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Monday night I decided to purchase The Faults in Our Stars. I saw this novel in the best selling category for awhile I never actually paid much attention to it, until Monday. I read some of the reviews and thought to myself “when was the last time I really read a book that would made me cry?” the answer, Firefly Lane.<br/><br/>Now I will say that the subject matter in this novel was very emotional and even if I don’t relate to teenagers with life threatening illnesses, I sure as heck felt like I did.  I mean I have big fat ugly tears for hours after I read this novel. So much so, I came to work the next day and everyone asked what was wrong, because my eyes were a gigantic puffed-up mess.  I told them I read a really good novel and I can’t stop crying, because it was so good.<br/><br/>I had happy tears when there’s a discussion pertaining to eggs of all things because the characters In this book really did fit.<br/>I never heard of John Green before, but after I read a few fluffy romance books (I need to emotionally recover) I will buy the rest of his novels in print. I will also buy this novel in print because it deserves to be on my bookshelf instead of just being in my digital library.  I LOVED IT!</span>"

I didn't really feel like I got genuine insight into the struggles of a cancer survivor. The characters felt unrealistic and I never really got much of a feel for the main character aside from how she felt toward Gus. It was really just a teen romance novel with the sad twist of cancer thrown in. I wasn't profoundly impacted, and I really don't see what all the hype is about.<br/><br/>Definitely just okay.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2NI7YTMQ1LFFX?ASIN=014242417X	Brilliant!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Don’t be deceived by the fact that The Fault in Our Stars is a young adult novel, or by the fact that it is a simple modern day love story about two teenagers who meet at a cancer support group. It is much more than a good love story, or a bestselling book.  It is an invocation for a profound emotional experience, possibly even an awakening. The charming, funny, and genuine characters, the witty dialog and the existential philosophy will entertain your mind and intellect. Meanwhile very stealthily a depth charge is implanted into your heart and at the end the sum of all parts detonates both breaking your heart and blowing it wide open, revealing not just the idea but the experience of one of the fundamental truths of our human existence, that love and pain are two sides of the same coin, inseparable, and that this truth is infinitely beautiful.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RMUG8IZ6UZM2W?ASIN=014242417X	A Must Read for Teens	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Spectacularly written, beautifully insightful, John Green shows the complexities of teenage love skewed by a terminal illness.  Teens and adults alike will love this novel with its quirky characters, comical relief and harrowing story line.  This is a must read for all.<br/>  The main character is a teenage girl named Hazel Lancaster who, being riddled with cancer, struggles to cling to her life day by day.  She meets and falls in love with the charming, former cancer-ridden Augustus Waters.  A few other characters are worth mentioning; like Isaac, Augustus' funny best friend who is also diagnosed with cancer; the great Peter Van Houten, author of Hazel's favorite book and world-renowned shut in; Patrick is the leader of the cancer support group and, as so happens, is testicle-less.  The characters are what really drives this novel and it's plot.  They are uniquely funny, unorthodox, and brilliant.<br/>  I have read this book three times, and let me tell you, each read is just as good the first time.  Green pays attention to detail and pours metaphors and deeper meaning into each page.  This is truly what makes the book so great.  Books like these are the type where you finish reading it and then think about it for two weeks afterward.  Even after reading it the third time, I was still questioning motives, reading into metaphors, and generally speculating characters that feel very real.<br/>  If you enjoy young adult novels with quirky characters, this novel is definitely for you.  I advise keeping tissues close to you as you read; it is a roller coaster ride of emotions!</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R20SJJJL87ZV49?ASIN=014242417X	The Best/Worst Book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault In Our Stars  by John Green is about two teenagers struggling with Cancer.  The story is told through Hazel a 16 year old with thyroid cancer that has rendered her lungs nearly useless to the point that she must drag an oxygen tank with her wherever she goes.  She has two very loving parents who hover over her.  Her dad cries a lot (understandable given the circumstances) and her mother constantly insists that she get out more and experience more things insisting that she go to support group.  Hazel doesn’t see how going to Cancer Support Group constitutes as a positive experience of life, but she goes to please her mother.  While there, she meets Augustus, a 17-year old survivor of bone cancer and an amputee.  Augustus is funny, charismatic and so full of life you can’t help but like him.  Throughout a good portion of the book Augustus quickly falls in love with Hazel while she tries to keep him at a distance.  She doesn’t want to be a “grenade” for him meaning that when she dies she doesn’t want to destroy him emotionally.  She does fall in love with him though as do I. What is great about their relationship is how they don’t coddle each other.  They are realistic about their health and who they are as people.  I will stop there with the plot as I don’t want to give away the whole book.<br/><br/>It’s difficult to rate this book because I both loved and hated it.  It’s a book where the two main characters and many others have cancer so it’s about loss and dying…but it’s also about love and living.  This book inspired me to write my bucket list at the age of 32.  It made me realize the beauty in the small things.  It gave me nightmares of losing my own children.  I read this book in about half a day which is an indication that my love/hate relationship with it was strong.  I finished it last night while laughing and crying.  My husband thought I was crazy.  “Are you laughing or crying?” he kept asking.  I said.  “Yes.”  I will recommend this book specifically to those who have little experience with cancer.  This book reminds us that although people with illnesses might be more fragile than others, they are not broken.  They want to experience life as normally as they can.  This book gives you a unique look at how the rest of the world looks through a cancer patient’s eyes.  How silly people seem when they try to ignore the oxygen tank or prosthetic leg rather than just asking the questions they have about them. And how beautiful the simplest things can be when you know your time is precious.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RQ2M8S1XKAQ4S?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Ok so this book is amazing. I am 16 &amp; I've never been the type of girl that likes to read nor will read for fun. I've always been the type that would just wait for the movie to come out. But, this book has clearly changed that. I ordered this book because I was going to Las Vegas &amp; I heard/was told that it was a good book, &amp; also the previews of the movie that is being made convinced me to read the book. So the day I left to Vegas (Thursday) I read the first 50 pages in less than an hour but got car sick &amp; fell asleep. I was so eager to read the book but had no time until Sunday afternoon. The book is so interesting that I finished it that day, which amazes me because I don't really like to read. I definitely recommend that this book should be read (:</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R35VGG0UZGKGFD?ASIN=014242417X	So genuine!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I loved this book - probably one of my favorite books. I realize it's written for a younger crowd but I could definitely relate. Having had a close friend die at 18 from cancer, this book hit close to home. I could relate to the situation and it was interesting to see how these kids felt and acted while going through having cancer - it made me think whether this is how my friend felt during the time as well.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1ITMYU8GPJ8IE?ASIN=014242417X	So many emotions!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Talk about an emotional roller-coaster! I knew when I started this book that there was a very strong possibility that it would be an emotional read which would make me cry in some places, and given the subject matter I was fairly sure that a 'happy ever after' wasn't on the cards. I was also hoping that I might, in reading this, have found my choice of book for Book Club this year - my theme is Teenage/YA.<br/><br/>The Fault in Our Stars tells the story of Hazel Grace who has cancer. She almost lost her fight at 13 years old when her lungs were close to giving out for good thanks to the tumors. After a miracle recovery, she was put on a new drug which managed to slow the growth of the tumors but left her permanently in need of oxygen. Carrying a canister with her wherever she goes and being hooked up to machine on a night while sleeping.<br/><br/>While attending a support group she meets Augustus Waters, who is in remission from his cancer. And from there we get to read about their love story. It's an ultimately doomed love, but still you root for them and want them to have some happiness while they can. Hazel tries to keep herself away from Augustus in that capacity, insisting that they stay just friends. She doesn't want to be a grenade for anyone, knowing that she has the ability to destroy those close to her once her cancer eventually wins and takes her life. Augustus does not take no for an answer and keeps on trying.<br/><br/>This was an amazing love story and even though you knew it wasn't going to end well you still wanted Hazel and Augustus to have their moment and fall in love and experience everything that they can in their short lives.<br/><br/>In the end I found that, as much as I loved this book, I was not going to able to choose this for my choice of book. I was gutted at this as I really wanted people to read this and just experience the wealth of emotions that I did when I read it. What prevented me from ultimately using this as my choice was some of the language and especially one f-bomb. I understand why this was used, and it wasn't gratuitous like in some books and it completely fitted the situation. I would still recommend this book to anyone and I cannot wait to see the film later this year (although I must remember to take some tissues with me as it's bound to be a tear-fest)</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3D45L71Y4MPG8?ASIN=014242417X	Made me cry...in a good way	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read a lot - and a lot of sad and tragic stuff for whatever reason.  It's only the second boon that ever actually made me cry, and the other one was Harry Potter and I had years invested in the character who died.  So that's saying something.<br/><br/>The best of John Green's books.  While all are enjoyable reads, they all are trifles.  This one has some staying power beyond the readability.</span>"

I also loved it - clear &amp; straightforward writing (since it's intended for younger folks) but beautiful, deep story that made both myself and my teacher friend have a long, good cry.

What disturbs me are the reviews on here that assert ""these characters are not believable....they're not like normal teenagers."" In response to that I would reply that some of the characters (like Kaitlyn) are completely ""Normal Teenagers."" Just because both Gus and Hazel appear to be well-read and acquainted with existential philosophy doesn't mean they aren't believable characters. I was definitely familiar with both literature and existentialism as a teenager. Why can't they be? If the story were about average teenagers it wouldn't be as interesting or as memorable. It's a great book. Just read it.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/REV259LUEQMV2?ASIN=014242417X	Heartbreaking yet hopeful	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book... I just... I can't even. Thinking about it now, a week after reading it, I am still all flustered. I don't know that any other book has affected me as much as this one. The only one that comes close is The Piper's Son by Melina Marchetta (my thoughts here.)<br/><br/>This is not going to be a typical review. I don't want to go in to detail about anything that happened in the book because I think that would take away from the reading experience. That is the last thing I want to do. I considered not writing a review at all but I loved this book so much that I just couldn’t pass it up. What kind of John Green fangirl would that make me?!?! So... here are a few of my reactions that are not spoilery!<br/><br/>*The first sentence is also the first paragraph. I'm not sure why this tickled me so much, but it did!<br/><br/>*I liked the way John Green used capitalization to make things stand out. For example, ""Regular Doctor Jim"" and ""Support Group.""<br/><br/>*Hazel's voice... it was fabulous. I loved her as a narrator.<br/><br/>*I really appreciated the descriptions of the characters. No gleaming bronze hair or eyes the color of spring's first dew (what the heck is that supposed to mean anyway?!?!)<br/><br/>*The language and vocbulary. I am such a word nerd so any book that uses terms like ""hamartia"" automatically becomes awesome.<br/><br/>*Chicago gets a mention!<br/><br/>*Things I recognized from the vlogbrother videos (like goat soap!)<br/><br/>*""Nothing Gold Can Stay"" by Robert Frost gets a mention! I adore this poem.<br/><br/>*There were so many passages I marked! Obviously I'm not sharing them here because I<br/>want you to read them in context but trust me... have a pen handy for marking down parts you love!<br/><br/>*From about page 210 until the end I was crying. At first I was sobbing so much I had to stop reading for about ten minutes to get myself under control. Then it was just tears streaming down my face until John Green would throw in some one line observation that would set me off again. I used nearly a box of kleenex. An hour later I was lying in bed still doing the thing where you're okay and then randomly your breath hitches and your off again. The Fault in Our Stars profoundly affected me.<br/><br/>*Even though this book broke me in a way I wasn't prepared for I was so incredibly satisfied with it. The end didn't leave me grasping for the pieces. I didn't feel cheated out of an ending. Did it end how I ideally wanted it to? No. Was the ending more authentic/appropriate than what I wanted? Yes. Honestly, had the book progressed any other way I think I would have been disappointed.<br/><br/>So, there you have it. Some general and non-spoilery thoughts. If you read one book this year let it be The Fault in Our Stars. And I'm not just saying that because John Green is my favorite ;)</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RB0S23659UBK4?ASIN=014242417X	Great Book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I bought this book off of a friend's recommendation. Going into the story already knowing the major plot points and readers reactions to the book I was skeptical. However when I picked this book up I did not put it back down until it was finished. Even though I knew much of the story going into it, including the major turning point, John Green was able to keep my attention and keep me emotionally invested in the story. The Fault in Out Stars is easily one of the best books I've ever had the pleasure of reading as well as undoubtedly the most emotionally rearing story I have ever read.<br/>10/10<br/>I highly recommend this book.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I had a great experience reading The Fault in Our Stars.

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RUWCER45QHLCM?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">After seeing a few trailers for the movie I decided to take a chance on the book. A chance I'm very grateful I took. Simplistic writing style, meant for young adults, but an amazing story told through the eyes of a 16 year old female. You fall in love with the characters described to you and feel the pain, love, humor, joy and sadness being described and shown through your imagination. I cried at so many parts, I probably shouldn't have read it at work, and once finished I had to go back and re-read some of my favorite moments and the ending. You won't regret your choice in this book. Truly amazing and heart-wrenching.</span>"

Very thought provoking on the meaning of life and death.  It is an excellent book not only for teens and young adults, but all adults.

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RUUD271O82L39?ASIN=014242417X	Why I read books	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is an example of why I read and push through the mediocre. It's to find books like this that hit you at the core and make you think afterwards. I read alot of books, and The Fault In Our Stars has wiggled its way into my very limited 'Fav books' list and the almost exclusive 'I need to recommend this to others so they can understand the greatness of the book'. So yeah. John Green did an absolutely awesome job with plot,characters, and theme.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3KPS07CUP6Z0A?ASIN=014242417X	Heartwarming AND Heartwrecking	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I loved this novel, although I'm not usually a fan of this type of literature - YA 'sick lit' as some people might call it. It was my first John Green book - his prose is gorgeous and his characters are amazing, deep and relatable - and he definitely does NOT romanticize being sick or having a terminal disease. AT ALL. You don't want to be in the main character's shoes health-wise by the end of the novel, trust me. But you will want to be in her emotional shoes. It's a book about coming to terms with terminal illness, with loving someone and allowing yourself to be loved and to love in return, about fantastic trips and terrible disappointments.<br/><br/>It's not a book for everyone, BUT as someone who usually sticks to fantasy and sic-fi, I fell in love with this book. I'd recommend giving it a try.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1WCZME0Y2DHO0?ASIN=014242417X	Well written	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I really enjoyed this novel and now see that they will be making a movie out of it. The characters are real and express feelings about cancer and dying that are so refreshing. Beautiful</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2W6YXAIIV6VAH?ASIN=014242417X	Expectations too High	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This was a sweet story but I have to say that with over 9000 reviews of 5 out of 5 stars my expectations were way too high and was slightly disappointed.  I think most of the reviewers on here are John Greens followers and will 5 star everything he writes.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2XCCZ88D28PID?ASIN=014242417X	This book is breath taking and beautiful.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read this book a week before my brother was first diagnosed with cancer. It made me ball, I was choking on my tears and I didn't care ho saw. This book is not only great for teenagers and young adults but for anyone who enjoys reading. It is written well with developing characters and a few wrenches thrown in there too.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RJLEI2ZRCKOY6?ASIN=014242417X	unbelievable read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I know this is a young adult read and I am a grandmother but this is a book is for everyone!  It reads on many levels.  The book stared with my 12 year old granddaughter, then her parents (who are both educators) and then me.  It has since travelled to 2 different graduate students, one in creative writing and the other in library sciences. My suggestions is read this book and keep lots of Kleenex near by.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2A1H8UCSCFJJG?ASIN=014242417X	Buy some tissues at Costco!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book will rip your heart out, run it over, and then throw it off a cliff. And you'll be so glad it did, because by the end, you won't want to feel anything anymore anyway. I holed myself up in my room and read this book in one day, and when I was done, I crawled out with a tear-stained face and wet clothes from crying so much.<br/>But TRUST ME, it's completely worth it. You fall in love with the characters, and they make you feel so many.....feels. I realize that John Green books are geared towards Young Adults, but as a 29 year old, I sometimes feel just as angsty. Don't judge. Just read.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R26KRV6PTP5ZMW?ASIN=014242417X	the first half is stellar, the second half okay	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">*spoilers*<br/><br/>I loved the first part of The Fault in Our Stars. I would give the first half five stars. There are many delightful passages throughout this heartbreaking book. John Green is an excellent writer. I don’t know what it is like to be a teenager with cancer, but it felt genuine and true to me. The teenagers seemed like real people – the obsession with certain books and videogames, the self-important way of feeling they are the only ones ever to discover T.S. Eliot and Rene Magritte, the rapid mood swings – but most of the adults were not fleshed out.<br/><br/>Plotwise, once the trip to Amsterdam took place, my enthusiasm for the book waned. I had a hard time believing two kids as sick as Gus and Hazel could really take a trip like that with so few negative side effects. I didn’t exactly like Peter Van Houten but I found him believable.<br/><br/>I figured out very early on that Gus would die first (for one thing, Hazel is the sole narrator, so I think the author expected us to figure that out), but I found the ending anticlimactic. I almost wish Green had followed his fictional author’s lead and ended his book the way Van Houten ended his.<br/><br/>It's a good book, and I do recommend it. The movie comes out in June, if you want to time your reading around that.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3JTPV8Y2KZ9RO?ASIN=014242417X	Loved this book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I love this book. I immediately started reading it again after reading it the first time. Hazel Grace and Augustus Waters come alive. These characters got under my skin and made me value my life even more. Life is meant to be treasured, and pain is meant to be felt. Such a powerful story of love and pain.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3QN66533MZE45?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing Read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is very good and you really get sucked in just after reading the first chapter.

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2272GBS0HFAJ3?ASIN=014242417X	Funny, Angst-y, and Sad without being Tragic	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Holy moly... Hazel's voice, and this story, are extraordinary. Hazel, Augustus, and Isaac are teens with cancer in Indianapolis, tied together by experiences no kid should have to experience, even if there are Cancer Perks. It's funny and lyrical and teenager-y and sad without being tragic, somehow. Hazel's obsession with a book that completely speaks to her, and cuts off without a proper ending, Isaac losing his sight and his girlfriend, simultaneously, Augustus's habit of putting a cigarette between his lips but NOT ever lighting it, something that could kill him but he won't let it... All these things come together, along with parents trying hard not to hover, or cry excessively, often failing at both.<br/><br/>Amazing. Hazel may have lungs that suck, but she is no passive victim. I could not put it down, and though I cried more than once during the read, I ended feeling oddly uplifted.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1QE2IEPMYR1U1?ASIN=014242417X	Very typical teen lit, but still good	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Most everyone knows this is the type of book you're going to read with plenty of tissues, but it's still worth the read.  I think it borders on formula for teen lit, but I liked it.  I'm interested in seeing this as a film.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1K5JL6UJ2IOZS?ASIN=014242417X	Not a cancer book - but a romantic young adult novel.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The majority of people reading this have a love for John Green's writing style. While I appreciate reading the other comments, for me I loved this book. If Young Adult literature isn't your thing, don't buy it. Simple!</span>"

4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RU1ZMCH86G0EW?ASIN=014242417X	If you want to understand how to write, and how to be human, this book is your teacher	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Teenagers and cancer? A brave choice of topics.  As an author and writing teacher, I am always looking for books I can use in my teaching. Hazel's voice in the opening chapter and later her love letter to Augustus, are two passages in TFIOS I use to teach 'voice.' To write, you have to be fearless, and this book doesn't flinch in the face of topics most people can't even talk about. Green allows Hazel humour, which in turn, humanizes her situation and that of her friends, all of whom are young and facing uncertain futures. In the face of this, with death hovering like a kidnapper, Green has created a love story out of impossible circumstances. Like Alice Sebold does in The Lovely Bones, and Markus Zusak has achieved in The Book Thief, The Fault in Our Stars is a book that brings you to your own edge and leaves you uplifted, without every compromising the beauty of a story that you know from the start cannot have a Hollywood ending.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3F0LRVI67B68A?ASIN=014242417X	No Fault Here	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in our Stars is a moving story of a group of young teens/adults who are suffering from cancer or in remission. The story is fiction but gives great insight into the mindset of not only the disease and the diseased patient but the effect it has on the caregivers as well. It is obviously not a FEEL GOOD or a HAPPY EVER AFTER story, but it delivers many moments that will make you laugh and some that will make you cry. A gripping story that would make a great discussion book. Above all, it provides an outlet in which to count your blessings and those who bless your life.</span>"

2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RPAMGBPEKFJYZ?ASIN=014242417X	Beautiful and raw	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was a real pleasure to read. In addition to being a beautiful story, it will never let you look at those who suffer from disease in the same way again. John Green is the man-- since I'm also from Indianapolis, it was especially cool to read this book because I grew up just blocks from so many of the places that are mentioned.<br/><br/>I'd highly recommend getting through this before the movie comes out!

I got it because I love John Green and he's my favorite author so I knew it would be good. But, I was wrong. It wasn't good. It was ABSOLUTELY PERFECT. It made me cry and it made me laugh and everything in between. I recommend this book to everyone. I've practically been forcing my friends to read it because it's so great.

I was laughing one minute and crying my eyes out the next. The fault in our stars is an amazingly powerful and extremely well written book. I love how John Green managed to make me laugh even during a sad time in the book and how he managed to create the main character ,Hazel , as if she was really talking just to you. I was so unbelievably moved by this book that I cried for 2hours straight, because I became so in love with the character Augustus . I even had to go to the comfort food of Ben &amp; Gerry's Fish Food flavoured ice-cream.<br/><br/>P.S:<br/>I would also like to add as a small side note that if you are suffering from cancer, my heart goes out to you.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R22CMVVP1C2WR5?ASIN=014242417X	remarkably luminous	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">A mate of mines bought me a lot of novels as a birthday gift,and this novel just so happened to be one of them. I had heard plenty of people of both genders chatting amongst one another about this novel,about the author John Green. Due to it being dramatically sad I avoided reading it at all because when it comes to cancer and dying they're rather a sensitive topic to me,as I am battling my own illness which isn't cancer but it's somewhat close to it (SLE aka Lupus). After completing my school work and revising,I managed to read and complete John Green's novel 'The Fault In Our Stars' in two days, yes two days,it was just that mesmerising and uplifting as well as sad. I thought I would dislike this novel that it would be another cliché book.And I must say that this has become one of my favourite novels, I was wrong about this novel,it made me look at life in a different way, appreciate it a bit more than I actually do,it also gave me more insight on cancer and its affects towards the patient. There are a lot of other novel's that I admire and I find wonderful but this book is remarkably innovative it's just so bloody brilliant. The author's writing is impeccable the way he words things, each of his characters are so uniquely interesting if that makes any sense at all to anyone who will read this,it took me in from the moment I read it I immediately placed myself in each of the character's shoes, Hazel Lancaster,Augustus Waters, and Isaac. As well as the parents and how they must feel about their kids dying of cancer,I felt like I was apart of this novel and you will as well. There were a few parts in here in which I had to force myself to not cry so I highlighted the parts I could relate to in yellow and the parts I wanted to know more about or found interesting in blue. John Green is a genius so are the characters he thought up. There is absolutely nothing about this book,the author, or the characters in which I dislike. This novel deserves more than just five stars because this novel is just so remarkably luminous. I am in love with this novel I cannot think of any other words to put it in but I have fallen in love with this man's writing,it just makes you feel like 'oh wow man,finally someone has the answer to so many things I've often wondered about,things I can relate to in a sense' but I am in love with this novel and I will read it as many times as I can and I will recommend it to any of my schoolmates as well as my teachers at uni and strangers too and I will recommend it to my family as well as my friends. I feel that everyone should read this book,it's just that amazing. John Green you are now my favourite author and you are a genius.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I was very hesitant to read this book after I had read Looking For Alaska and not liking it, but I'm very glad I picked up The Fault in Our Stars, it blew my mind. I could feel every emotion that he characters felt. I ugly cried numerous times. I was actually a bit shocked with what happened, it was quite the twist. I definitely wasn't expecting it until it happened. I don't really even know how to review this book. It was so beautiful, moving and eye opening. I loved being along for the ride.<br/>I love both of these characters. They were so strong, brave and filled with love. This was such an emotional roller coaster to be on. I want to know what happens now. Much like the characters in the book, I am seeking an answer I might never receive, I can assume, but I want to know what John Green thinks will happen now.<br/>I would recommend this novel to everybody and anybody. Even if you don't read, you need to pick up this masterpiece and read it ASAP!!<br/><br/>P.S. I can't wait for the movie. Hopefully it doesn't disappoint.</span>"

I was flipping through it when the Amazon package arrived. I started reading the first page and just kept reading. I read in one sitting - except for trips to the bathroom to wash the salt off my face and blow my nose. The last book that happened with was Lovely Bones. My daughter was much younger then and came up to me while I was sobbing. Mommy she said, ""Is that book fact or fiction?"" ""Fiction,"" I replied. She patted me on the shoulder with her little hand and said, ""You don't need to cry Mommy, it isn't real. It's just made up."" After that one I vowed to stick with science fiction, fantasy, and paranormals. Real life is just too hard and I need to escape when I read. Like the Lovely Bones this made up fiction felt so real.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R362K3GMC7EIYH?ASIN=014242417X	No Faults in John Green's Books	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Before adding, “The Fault in Our Stars,” to my kindle, I tried to emotionally prepare myself to read. Most people understand that John Green’s books are depressing, but this did not change a thing about reading it. The only difference from another book was tears. I kept making predictions with all the possible gloomy endings, but the conclusion to this book was still shocking to me. You cannot predict a book like this. Therefore, you must sit back and try and embrace every disheartening blow it gives you till you reach the last page. Just because this book was poignant, does not mean it was not high-quality. This is definitely a book worth your while.<br/> Within the first few pages, it is evident that this is a cancer book. Not only because it is based on the lives of younger teenagers with cancer, but because it will infect your whole life. Living with the possible fear of dying, changes someone’s outlook on common everyday things. Once you are exposed to these observations and opinions, your view of things will most likely change. I know mine did. But this book is not just a cancer book, it is a journey. A journey through young hearts, relationships, families, and dreams.<br/> Through most sorrows comes joy. The tears from this book brought me appreciation. Appreciation of the most simplistic things I realized I had been overlooking. If you are looking for a mind-altering substance, it is this book. Embrace the possible change it can bring you by opening yourself to the opinions shared on these pages. This is a book everyone should read at some point in their lives,<br/>“Okay?”<br/>“Okay.”</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RPX144O4T6GCC?ASIN=014242417X	It sounds depressing, but it's delightful	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I had seen The Fault in Our Stars on the shelf at a local Target, and felt like I'd enjoy it, but left it there on the shelf, only to find it a month later in a box of reserved books for a college course in Young Adult Literature. I instantly fell in love with the main characters of Hazel and Augustus and their fight for health and love in this story where they learn to find what little peace they can with each other amid their terminal conditions.<br/>I didn't expect to find myself laughing and smiling while reading a ""cancer"" book, but I absolutely loved these characters! Green does a wonderful job in telling the story from the perspective of a sixteen-year-old girl, despite his being a man, and all of the emotions displayed by the characters seemed real and genuine. I laughed, I smiled, and as the book went on found myself sorrowful. Not only because of where I felt the story was heading, but at the diminishing number of pages. This novel is a wonderful window into a very real world of individuals seeking the one thing they feel cancer has cheated them of: the ability to love and be loved. As soon as I finished the book, I immediately wanted to turn back to page one. Bravo Mr. Green, bravo.<br/>Content advisory: There is some language in the book, mild cursing and one f-word. There are several sexual slurs and one mild sex scene. Probably a little uncomfortable for younger teens, but nothing too heavy to prevent anyone 17+ from reading.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R24GXMU7IU7Q3I?ASIN=014242417X	Review: The Fault In Our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">“Sometimes, you read a book and it fills you with this weird evangelical zeal, and you become convinced that the shattered world will never be put back together unless and until all living humans read the book.<br/>-John Green, The Fault in Our Stars<br/><br/>Perfect 5 stars, although it's worth a million. The Fault In Our Stars is beautifully amazing because it is emotional and personal while simultaneously being thought provoking and intellectually innovative. John Green doesn't dumb down the harshness of reality yet there are still strong notes of hope. It is the human condition to attempt to find hope in hopeless situations and it reads like a novel attempting to bring equilibrium out of disaster. He brings a light hearted nature to the novel by giving the main characters, Hazel and Augustus, also know as Gus, a mature sense of humor. They are wise beyond their years. And this- I believe- comes from the teenagers coming to terms with their cancer. Some people believe Hazel and Augustus to be unrealistic because they use metaphors, poetry, have a strong and witty sense of humor; however, I believe them to be constructs of an ideal.<br/><br/>This, as Hazel Lancaster may say, is not a Cancer Book. Instead John Green uses Cancer as a backdrop in the story and focuses on creating two unique and strong characters who fall in love with each other and except each other’s flaws. The Fault in our stars is about life, death, love, illness, heroism, and how a sixteen-year-old is supposed to deal with the fact that she will die and leave everyone she loves behind. Hazel Lancaster, a terminal sixteen-year-old who has to carry an oxygen tank everywhere because her “lungs suck at being lungs"", is extremely real - not a dream girl, not a Barbie girl. She finds joy in reading great works of literature and spends hours watching America’s Next Top Model, a pass time that I am sure most girls in America have as a guilty pleasure. She is an inspiration because even though she is scared and in pain she will never burden anyone by telling him or her this because she concentrates on minimizing their pain.<br/><br/>Because Hazel wants to minimize the “damage” she will leave behind at the end of her fight, she has a tough time becoming close to anyone. Although, Augustus Waters is one of her acceptations. Gus was the hot guy fate randomly threw at Hazel during one of the support group meetings her mom forced her to attend. He was at the meeting to support his friend, but he, himself, was in remission and an amputee due to a bone tumor.  That meeting- that day- was what changed everything. He wanted nothing more than to leave a lasting impression on the world and to be there for Hazel.  His humor and her nerdy charisma were perfect for each other. They swapped their favorites books and connected on such an intellectual level that they could perfectly understand each other. Their friendship soon grew into something more and, I guess, one could call them “soul mates”.<br/><br/>Their love story was real and their diseases were real...everything written in this novel was real. It wasn't a watered down version about a teenage girl dying gracefully because, unfortunately, cancer is ugly and unpleasant. Green makes you feel Hazel's lungs struggling to breathe and the pain her and Gus both go through; however, Green does not allow them to be defined by their cancer. Yes, it is a huge hassle and something they struggle with every single day, but it does not define them.<br/><br/>Hazel and Gus had such tough obstacles to overcome; yet they somehow remained positive and happy. They, especially Hazel, taught me a lot. She taught me to be thankful for what I have and to stop looking at the things I don’t. She taught me that everything has an expiration date: nothing is forever, not even a memory. But, most of all, she taught me that I should never take anything, especially life, for granted. And for that, thank you Hazel Lancaster and thank you John Green.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2TI55BD10DH8Y?ASIN=014242417X	Really enjoyed it.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I'm a 19 year old female, and I've read a ton of teen literature since I was about 11, but this really did not strike me as your typically thrown together teen novel. It was awesome, the author made it about cancer without being about cancer and made it about love without dwelling too much on either. I don't want to spoil the book for anyone, so I will just say that I read it in one sitting til about 3AM, when I had stuff to do the next morning, the mark of an interesting, well-written book :) Worth every cent and minute of my time.</span>"

The main character, Hazel Grace, suffers from cancer and meets the love of her life. They spend an infinity together, but Augustus Waters (Hazel's love) discovers that his cancer has returned.

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2B0A9LJUYEWD9?ASIN=014242417X	Extraordinarily witty, pleasurable read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Hazel is an overly intelligent teen with terminal cancer; she meets Augustus, who is hot, also intelligent, and recovering from cancer. They fall in lovely love that has both everything to do with cancer, and yet nothing at all to do with it.  Reading their witty banter was worth the price of admission, and then some.  I laughed out loud at their dialogue throughout the book.  I loved the plot that pulled you through -- Hazel and Gus share a love of a book that ends abruptly, and they want to know more about what happens to their favorite characters.  Meta, but in a really fun  and non-cheesy way.<br/><br/>I enjoyed this book immensely solely for the wordplay.  It is a quick and pleasurable read from which I will take many quotable lines.  But I cannot give it 5 stars.  I feel like a total hardass, but this book did not tug at my heartstrings.  Maybe it's that my own dad's death from cancer is so recent that the physical nastiness and unfairness of death, presented unflinchingly here, just seemed obvious to me.  Also, there was a plot twist that I totally called, which is not at all my talent.  But regardless, it was still a great, great read.  I am just not one of its readers that is going to go all evangelical on it.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2ZXOUMAKBH0X3?ASIN=014242417X	Meh!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The story overall wasn't terrible.<br/><br/>I had to put the book down at one point because what teenager talks that way?  It drove me nuts.  I thought this was another version of Gone Girl.  (BTW, that book was so horribly written that I couldn't finish it.)  If you can get over the way the teens talk then the book is tolerable.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R326HXWDFD23ZW?ASIN=014242417X	One of my all time favorite books	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">It's rare that books can juggle comedy and tragedy so well. This book is sad, it made me and my boyfriend cry. But it also made us laugh. Its characters are lovable and believable. It tells things like they are, no sugar coating and no dramatization, yet is a very fun read. Neither of us could put it down.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RAX7FV1SZGS9M?ASIN=014242417X	I couldn't put it down!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I'm not a reader, but I thought I would give this book a shot since the movie is coming out soon and it looked interesting. Plus when I was in high school, EVERYONE had it. I felt like I was missing something i guess. The book is incredible. I couldn't put it down! I ended up reading it all night and couldn't sleep until I finished. I'm not much of a book worm, so I can't say this is the best book ever, but for me, it's definitely my top favorite book, no doubt in my mind. It's worth the read!</span>"

This book will make you feel so many emotions and before you go looking at quotes ruining the story for yourself buy this now. This story is almost too beautiful to handle.

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3C48BAMV4HXF7?ASIN=014242417X	Universal	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">A friend recommended that I read John Green’s novel, The Fault in Our Stars, and I’m glad she did. Green explores concerns that are universal and cross-generational. Am I loved? Does my life have meaning? Will anyone remember me after I’m dead? The protagonists are teenage cancer survivors, Hazel and Augustus, who fall in love. Green deals with pain and loss while avoiding pathos or melodrama. This is a Young Adult novel that may appeal to any adult who thinks about those universal concerns. This novel celebrates life, and I enjoyed it thoroughly.<br/><br/>Rating: Four-star (I like it)</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3LURKXMAXTIQM?ASIN=014242417X	Best Book I've Ever Read1	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The book ‘The Fault In Our Stars’ is about two cancer patients Augustus, 17, and Hazel, 16, who fall in love. Hazel never thought she’d meet her favorite author, Peter Van Houten, but Gus makes it possible. The authors main purpose for this book is when the author, John Green was at a childrens hospital for 5 months surrounded by ill children, which inspired him to write The Fault In Our Stars. He also wrote it because he felt that cancer isn’t understood. I think John Green is an amazing author, and TFIOS is a must read book!<br/><br/>  John Green is known for winning the award for TFIOS in January of 2012. This book is very funny, serious, happy, and sad. The book is thought of as a cancer book, but it’s really just another amazing love story filled with perks of being a cancer patient. Augustus takes Hazel to Amsterdam to meet Van Houten, who ends up being really mean. Everything is fine, and they have a great time in Amsterdam, until they get back. The book turns from the point they get back till the end. It will leave you in tears.<br/><br/>  I really enjoyed this book, along with all of John Greens amazing books! TFIOS is one of those books where after you start reading, you’re not going to want to put it down. John Green did an amazing job of creating a book aiming towards the perks of being a cancer patient. The fault in our stars is the best ‘romantic’ story I’ve ever read!</span>"

I felt instantly connected to the characters, I laughed out loud, I had tears in my eyes for about 50 pages, I have quotes written down from the book that inspired me, I was confronted about issues I never thought deeply enough about and I wanted to re-read it as soon as I finished.<br/><br/>This book is amazing. Also being my first John Green book, I am now hooked. The Fault In Our Stars deserves every award it has and hasn't gotten. Brilliant work, John Green. Brilliant.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3EH5ET27RD5Z9?ASIN=014242417X	A good read per my daughter	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Our daughter initially found out about this book from a YouTuber who she follows...she really liked the book and has since suggested it to her friends, it is now being rotated amongst her group of friends as they all are taking turns reading it. Just a couple of days ago, she was saying how one of her friends had been taking too long with it as another friend has anxiously been awaiting her turn. IMO, that's a good thing as you don't hear or see much of today's kids ACTUALLY wanting to read REAL PHYSICAL books, so I'm glad that part of me has rubbed off on my children. Our daughter has also voiced wanting to read another book by this author so that's a win-win for me!!!</span>"

I began to read it and I can already feel a dislike for the main character Hazel; trying to be a smart mouth about everything. As I kept reading, my point of view completely changed. It opened my eyes about life and death. Although the main characters are affected by cancer they don't view cancer as their death by a side effect of death. The book made be think about the people I chose to have in my life, who is worth hurting for, and who is worth loving. I fell in love with Augustus Waters for the same reasons Hazel did. This book was such an easy and enjoyable read. I would recommend it to anyone from teens to adults.</span>"

I fell instantly in love with this book, and at the end it broke my heart, though I would rather get a broken heart from a book. I am now about to sit down and reread this book, and I suggest anyone who hasn't read this book should read it as soon as they can, because I am ordering this book to own the second I have the money to hold it in my hands.</span>"

I read it in about a day, bawled at the end and was completely terrified of it ending in the middle of a sentence. This is a book that I will and have suggested to a million different people, but will never read again because I can't deal with that kind of emotional trauma again.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3VXUEG7R6RBVV?ASIN=014242417X	Could not decide on 4 or 5 stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I really liked the book right up to the end when Gus announces he is terminal and then dies like a bat out of Hell. I thought that was iffy. The writing is exceptional. The story is very interesting and holds the attention.  No 16-year-old ever spoke like the narrator speaks, of course.  But one suspends disbelief.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1LHA1PBQWEA5E?ASIN=014242417X	Shakespeare for Kids	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">""The Fault in Our Stars"" has joined the ranks of Starbucks and Josh Hutcherson in the hallowed museum of Things that All White Girls Like. As a college-age guy who likes Starbucks and is more or less ambivalent to the going-ons of the Hutcher-verse, I wasn't sure whether this book would get finished or end up in my ""gave it my best shot"" pile. It's a cancer book, after all. From page ten, you can probably make a decent stab at how it's going to end, so you might as well throw tension out the window.<br/><br/>But Green is aware of the inevitability he's working with and ultimately uses it to his advantage. The book doesn't depend on nihilism so much as it thrives on it. It's no so much a book about cancer or star-crossed lovers as it is an irreverent and surprisingly funny meditation on death and memory and the meaning we attach to them. To call ""The Fault in Our Stars"" a sad book would be a gross misnomer; ""The Fault in Our Stars"" is depressing at best and soul-crippling at worst. The book asks real, thought-provoking questions and the characters dwell in a space of constant danger and the looming threat of personal apocalypse. It's deep stuff for a young adult book, but Green is smart to never play it up or, worse, downplay it. Everything is played straight and appropriately honest.<br/><br/>Regardless of how you feel about Green's too-hip characters or Whedon-esque dialogue, it's hard to find something BAD to say about this book. Sure, you could go on and on about ""kids don't really talk like this"" this and ""oh come on that's not how Make-A-Wish"" works that. But Green's penchant for playing (or, more accurately, preying) on expectations and modelling his work as a legitimate tragedy masquerading as a young adult book ultimately gives this book an emotional clout that's nigh unapproachable. It's a cheap shot, sure, but that does nothing to lessen the impact when your house suddenly gets dusty during the last hundred pages or so.</span>"

My daughter who is 15 checked it out from the library on the recommendation of a friend, and then ORDERED me to read it, although the subject matter wasn't something I thought I'd be interested in.  I'm so glad I did, it's a life-changer. We even bought our own copy so we could highlight and make notes in the margins.  :o)  John Green is both clever and descriptive, and you will fall in love with the characters.

Sure. It peaks in angst at times, but I grew to love the characters quickly and became very invested in their story and their struggles. Shockingly enough, I did not cry when reading this book (I am usually quite emotional). Even so, you'll be deeply moved.

This is one of my all time favorite books! Ever! And all those 1 star reviews? psh. Mostly you will hear it ""waters down cancer too much."" Its true. Cancer is much more pain than is described in the book. But heres the thing. This book does not focus of cancer, cancer is a side effect of our story. This story is about 2 teens with a seriously messed up, cancerous, life, who ironically fall in love. Warning, this book is sad! (twist ending though) BEAUTIFULLY SAD!

Overall it is a semi-unconventional love story with all the right parts. John Green gets his message across in a very clear way, and the writing is terrific. While I feel that many of the side characters have the same wit and humor as Hazel and Gus, I understand that he might have been trying to put comedic wit into a depressing subject. Regardless, this is a wonderful book that everyone should read.</span>"

A very quick read(less than 24 hr and slept in that time). The message behind the story is one of the best so far.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3R32CJC37BDCO?ASIN=014242417X	This book is just amazing.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was fairly easy to read for teenagers. I'm not the lowest or the best reader out there, but this was one of the best detailed and written book I have ever read. This book is very interesting and I couldn't put it down! I recommend it for people who are going through a tough time in life. I also recommend having teenagers read these type of books. Teenager years are probably the hardest years of their lives. This book is like what every teenager wants to hear and they want people to understand what they are going through.  It helped me when I was going through a tough time and made me kind of grateful. Just for people who are going to read the book, the book is about a sixteen year old girl named Hazel Grace who has a type of lung cancer. She finds a boy named Augutus Waters and they fall in love. This book made me laugh so hard and made me cry a ton. I can be a very emotional person but when it comes to books, I'm not. The book though, made me cry hard! The Fault in Our Stars, is one of my favorite books.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R9F3EHD6YJ3ST?ASIN=014242417X	Brilliant. Heartbreaking. Captivating.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">One of my favorite books EVER. John Green writes from the perspective of a 16 year old girl and is absolutely sensitive and genuine. This book explores the idea of oblivion and what that should mean to each of us. This book made me laugh and it made me cry. Ultimately, I was inspired and delighted. I read this book in just about 5 hours because I simply could not put it down. Excellent for teens and adults. This book represents the notion that love and pain often go hand in hand, but that is what makes them both beautiful in their own way.<br/><br/>""The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars<br/>But in ourselves, that we are underlings."" --Cassius, Julius Caesar</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R35AEQNDWZ0F8J?ASIN=014242417X	Good, quick read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was a nice quick read.

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3QEFBR1SG33JR?ASIN=014242417X	One of the best	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I've chosen to give this book 5 stars because it is touching, an incredibly easy read, and, best of all, enjoyable. There are tons of funny nerdy jokes and small things that make you set the book down and just marvel in awe at the genius of John Green. As a 19 year old female I would recommend this book to anyone.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3AOK4JD82124L?ASIN=014242417X	A great book at a great price!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I'm going off to college soon, and I want to take some of my favorite books with me to read when I feel homesick. I ordered this one for much cheaper than I could have got it at Walmart or Target, and it's just as pristine as I could have hoped! My only regret is perhaps not ordering a signed copy, but as far as your nice hardcover copy goes, this is the place to order it from!</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RQJFLY3GVYVEJ?ASIN=014242417X	One of my favourites	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is amazing. I found myself sobbing in my car after work one day, feeling amazingly attached to the wonderful story that John Green weaves throughout this novel. Being the first John Green book I read, I quickly moved on to more.<br/><br/>I work in a hospital - I see children age like this all the time. Anything life threatening *can* age someone much faster than their physical years, and that is the main reason I am able to find this book believable.<br/><br/>In general, John Green's books are great, but I do not feel like the characters are the right ages; he writes teens that think and act like adults (which is possible and makes for amazing stories), making them slightly harder to read.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R12WR9IXYPHV5T?ASIN=014242417X	Awesome book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">One of the best books I've ever read. It is very well written! I would recommend it for ages 12+ for some language. I loved this book and I love John Green!</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RA47A0WDJGYD4?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in The Fault in Our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Let me start off in saying that I am a Nerdfighter. I think John Green is a genius, and he's probably one of the best YA authors out there. Looking for Alaska is in my top 5 favorite books booklist, An Abundance of Katherines is laugh-out-loud hilarious, and even Paper Towns is okay.<br/>But then came The Fault in Our Stars, the critically acclaimed book about two kids who've (kind of) beaten cancer.<br/>I wanted to love this book. I really did. I picked it up because 1.) I love John Green and I didn't think I could be dissappointed by him and 2.) It was the NYT #1 Best Seller for how many weeks in a row? Oh, and 3.) It had gotten 5 out of 5 stars, well, EVERYWHERE.<br/>But 30 pages in, I was turned off immediately. Hazel Grace Lancaster (main character) meets Agustus Waters (other main character) at a cancer support group she hates going to. It was love at first sight. Kind of. (I'm serious!) Agustus stares at her, woos her with large words that the average American doesn't even know the meanings to, and she goes over to his house. Yep. Just falls for him like that. (Hey, if you don't believe me, read the book! Although, you may be slightly let down).<br/>So let's fast forward a few weeks: Agustus is so in love with Hazel (Honestly, it's been a month. Maybe.) and he decides to use his Make-A-Wish wish to take Hazel to Amsterdam to meet this Peter Van Houten guy, who is the author of her favorite (and totally made up) book called An Imperial Affliction (otherwise known as a cancer book, but she doesn't think of it that way). So they go to Amsterdam, do some...things..., drink some champagne that they got somehow even though they're, what, 16?... This (boring) list goes on and on. And I'll stop there, or else I'd be giving away spoilers.<br/>So let's see, where shall we begin?<br/>The faults in TFiOS:<br/>1. The 16-year-old-kids talk like well-educated 40-year-olds. It's not believable and it makes me quite angry.<br/>2. Because of this (see above) the characters are not realistic. At all. This part really made me dislike the book. I need a real character! Not an old man trapped in a kid's body!<br/>3. There were a lot of unnecessary characters and details that were in the book, and the only reason they were in there were to get things actually moving forward within the story.<br/>I could honestly go on and on, but I really don't feel like thinking about this book. It's just... It had great potential. It just fell short, for me, personally. I mean, it was a well-thought-out book, with metaphors and similes and allusions hidden around each corner (such as Agustus's last name: Waters, which is a metaphor). But some didn't make sense, didn't go along with the characters. If such literary elements were put into a book about older characters, maybe we'd have some spectacular. But, it just didn't work.</span>"

This is hands down, my absolute favorite book. I am an avid reader and rarely write reviews on books, but I had to for this one. I finished this book with tears streaming down my face and I haven't stopped thinking about the story or the characters. Everything about this book is perfect and I have recommended it to everyone with promises that they will not have wasted their time. I wish I could give ten stars. This book brought out every emotion in me, and that is hard to do. If you are considering even the slitest bit of reading this book: DO IT!<br/>Plus, I am a nerd fighter. I can't help it ;)</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2QXEV7ID4RWAP?ASIN=014242417X	Great book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read this book last year and loved it so much that I read it again. It is a book that is hard to put down and unlike most other young adult fiction books. It is unique in that the vocabulary is not dumbed down due to the age of the readers. The metaphorical language and similes are great but not over bearing. There is also thorough character development. The only thing I didn't like is the ending but I won't spoil it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3QIP34L4HLJIA?ASIN=014242417X	Cannot believe this is a YA book.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is so wonderfully written with great characters and plot, and explores acceptance and grief and love perfectly.  It should be required reading for anyone who has encountered cancer or losing a child.  After my son had me read it I recommended it to my book club.  We typically read Franzen and that type of thing, so the other women were pretty skeptical.  I got messages from one of the women who is a doctor who said she was reading it in her office and crying and making her patient's wait.  We've heard the word unforgettable so many times that it has lost nearly all meaning.  It should have been saved for this book.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R31D4AY59PRSP9?ASIN=014242417X	Best Book For Teens!!!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars has to be one of my favorite books that I have read. I read it for my English class and absolutely loved it!!! I highly recommend that you have a box of tissues next to you because the author plays with your emotions. I rated this book five stars because of its elaboration and it opened my mind about the concept of cancer. I would recommend this book for any teen who is looking for a book to get them through break or if they themselves are struggling with the concept of cancer. It was a real eye opener and after I finished I could connect back in my family history. It took me about three weeks to read because I could not put it down!! It is a great book for English class because many can identify certain themes of the books. Such as in this book, I found that there was a lot of conversation on Life versus Death. If you do decide to buy The Fault in Our Stars by John Green, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!!!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R132SC4G1URA1E?ASIN=014242417X	Briliant Book!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I loved this book beyond belief. John Green is an excellent writer that is able to capture the reader's mind, heart, and soul. He was able to make me feel like I was truly apart of the experience and that I knew the characters since childhood. This book made me experience something that I didn't feel was possible to feel from a book. I have felt things many different books and was like ""Wow! This is amazing!' from most of them but I have never felt something like this before. It made feel like I truly understood was about and how you should feel when your in love. I would recommend this book to any kind of reader just so they could experience for themselves something so magical and what can be!</span>"

I'm not a huge fan of this author. It was very cliche and sappy, but it was a nice read if you're looking for something quick and easy. Very good for a young adult book, but if you're looking for next American classic, this inst it. I did shed a few tears. If you like a good cry, then this is for you.</span>"

She read this one overnight!  Now, this girl is a good reader - but she usually finds something else to do rather than read.  She read this one, then the other one and told me she requested several more titles by this author on her Christmas wish list.  Her raving about the book has made several other even-less-likely-to-read girls ask for the book.  I have a waiting list going for it.  That alone is worth the 5 stars.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1YLDTNV62JVFJ?ASIN=014242417X	Be warned.. you will never be the same.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I am the kind of reader who loves life changing books. Books that, as soon as you read the first page, you are hooked. Books that make you laugh and cry and feel every type of emotion possible. The Fault in Our Stars changed my life. It changed everything. It is, by far, the best book I have ever read. If there is any wish I could have on this planet, it would be to be able to read it again for the very first time. Even though I read it over and over, and still haven't gotten sick of it yet. I always scour the reviews on amazon books to see if I want to buy a book. I only buy a book if someone said it changed them. So, if you are like me, please buy this book. I can't imagine a soul on this planet that could hate it. I love it so much that I'm typing a huge review on it, just because I want to talk about it. So go buy it. Please. Read it for the first time and fall in love with the characters and the writing and John Green and reading books, but mostly, fall in love with love. Young love, at all its beauty and glory and surprises. BUY.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1G3KYY41E59BS?ASIN=014242417X	Book Review from Must Read Before You Die	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I had this book for a long time but kept putting it off.  Based on the reviews (excellent) and book summary (love story between with someone having cancer), I went into this knowing I'm in for heartache and will probably cry.  It was a great experience - I smiled, I was touched, I was so happy to know that Hazel Grace and Augustus had each other.<br/><br/>Their type of love story isn't new and the cancer plot has been done before there is just a mix of young love (true love) in here that hits you were it's bound to make an impact.  Seeing the relationship between Hazel and her parents, Hazel and Gus, Gus and Issac - it's got that bittersweet epiphany you get about life.  Must read before you die.<br/><br/>Don't know how to hide spoilers on an Amazon review, so see my profile's website link for spoilers.</span>"

The two main characters, Hazel and Augustus, both have cancer. And although their demise is inevitable, they truly make the best of the remainder of their lives. They are philosophical, humorous, and interestingly unique in their own way. To be honest, they're a match made in heaven. The story line was amazing and it truly held my interest throughout. I would definitely recommend ""The Fault in Our Stars"" to every person, no matter their age. It really makes you appreciate the life you have and to not take it for granted.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3TNFPN8AGTUS4?ASIN=014242417X	New favorite book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I had heard from so many people that I ""must read it"", so finally I borrowed it from a friend. I sat down maybe at 8:30 last night and began reading. I finished it at about midnight. I'm a very fast reader but this book had me hooked immediately. Even after finishing, it has constantly been on my mind. I can't stop thinking about Hazel and Augustus and Isaac. I'm not ashamed to say that I bawled like a baby and didn't stop sobbing for the rest of the book, and I even knew the ending. A friend told me how it ended before I read it, which was the reason I put off reading it until now. But it still took me by surprise. The book had so many great quotes that are still stuck in my head. ""My thoughts are stars I can't fathom into constellations."" ""Maybe okay will be our always."" I can't explain how amazing this book is and all I need to say is, read it.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RCKUOCIS2Q7AE?ASIN=014242417X	Lesson Hazel Taught Me	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">My mind is everywhere and it's likely the thoughts I formulate will be largely incoherent. One thing I love about books are that they teach me things I don't know about myself through characters that are so different from me and anyone in my life. ""The Fault in Our Stars"" is narrated by Hazel Grace Lancaster, a sixteen year girl wise beyond her years, perhaps a side effect of cancer or dying. Hazel lives her life having fully embraced that her cancer is terminal, and makes every decision actively aware that her days are numbered, constantly considering consequences of her actions after her time has come. We are all dying, yet we live as if we can outlast death - apparent in Hazel's constant reminder that ""forever"" and ""infinite"" are terms that do not exist but we use because we  give meaning to it. John Green reminds me not that life is short and we should live while we can, but rather that life is a dynamic force and it is a mere product of the universe so desperate to be noticed. Almost in a sense, the novel is a reality check because as selfish human beings, we are so occupied in personal affairs we lose sight of the grand scheme of existence. We are all trying to leave our mark on an arbitrary reality devoid of patterns and cycles - but the scars we create on the surface if the universe are irrelevant and mean nothing.<br/><br/>Though Green teaches us such complex and abstract lessons, he makes Hazel's situation so relatable addressing her relationship with her parents, her friends, and of course with the love of her life. Hazel and Augustus live and loving knowing that death is imminent. They fear, they laught, and worry but are thoughtful and are considerate. If two cancer riddled youngsters can find not just love but each other and fully embrace the hopelessness of the most desperate conditions, who is anyone else to whine and mope about stress and pain of love and life?</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1T34I3JI3JVVH?ASIN=014242417X	Funny, Sobering Love Story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book about a teenager living with Cancer who has to deal with her disease on top of all the other problems of teenagers, like her parents not understanding her, manages to create a unique, fully realized teenage voice. Hazel is sarcastic, witty, and intellectual and when she falls in love with Augustus Waters, another teen she meets in a support group, the love story which ensues is more fully imagined than many other Young Adult novels. The two bond over their shared interests and similar predicaments but what propels this book isn’t the plot or even the themes, which are pretty serious and could have led to the novel becoming drab and depressing, it’s the complex, human presentation of the characters and their personalities, revealed through their interactions with each other that make this a truly excellent and original study in teen angst.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R10CFPTMGNI5NX?ASIN=014242417X	An Excellent Book That Does Not Talk Down To Readers, Yet Is Not Pretensious	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is one of the most enjoyable novels I have read in some time.  I admit that there are aspects that I deeply identified with, having spent much time in hospitals as a child.  In that sense, the book was vividly real for me (and thus, should be credited to the author).  John Green has written something that many, many people will hold dear for a long time.<br/><br/>Like any book, it isn't for everyone and no book is without fault or failing.  That said, given the common fare of young adult literature these days, this book is something I would happily have my own children read (and encourage their schools to include in their libraries and curriculum).  The characters are flawed and human, refusing to be simplified or boxed in.  The story is in parts fun, interesting, necessarily mundane and unquestionably moving.<br/><br/>I give this book 4 stars instead of 5 only in the hope that my endorsement won't be dismissed as fan-love.  This is a book few people will regret buying (and given the negative reviews I have seen, that's only about 1% of reviewers, and probably far fewer readers).</span>"

2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3T49VXTDW076S?ASIN=014242417X	A book in the language of teen	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars is a tale of a clever, girly girl named Hazel. Hazel has a particularly difficult hurdle in life. Hazel is diagnosed with stage four thyroid cancer. But thanks to a drug treatment which is referred to as to “the miracle”, her cancer has been prevented from spreading any further. Hazel mostly spends her days in her house lying in bed, having thoughts contemplating death. This behavior concerns her mother. The verdict her mother came to is to send her to a support group every week in the basement of a church. Hazel was against going to the support group, referring to it as, “depressing as hell”. The support group is very religion based, starting with the cancer-surviving, spiritually fanatical support group leader, Patrick. He often is the butt of Hazel’s sarcastic comments to herself. Hazel has but one friend in the group; his name is Isaac and he has lost an eye to cancer. Isaac occasionally brings a rather “hot-looking” friend named Augustus, who has lost a leg to cancer. One day Hazel and Augustus get to talking and they quickly connect throir similar witty, clever personalities. Augustus ends up being everything that Hazel wanted in a guy, except a good driver. These two ugh thestar-crossed lovers then become part of each other’s life, including when Hazel reveals her favorite book, An Imperial Affliction, and the connection she has to it.  Augustus has the same feelings about the book. The two then decide to go to Amsterdam to meet the author. At the same time Augustus’ cancer returns and his health is declining. Hazel is conflicted on whether to carry out her love for him because she does not want to be a “grenade” to him if she passes away. The book then abruptly ends which leaves the conclusion open to interpretation.<br/> John Green truly does a masterful job of giving readers a sense of Hazel’s and Augustus’s personality just in the choice of words he uses. The language also connects readers, especially teenagers, to the characters. Although the book follows the archetypal cancer survival stories, the clever narration and the humorous aspect makes this book great, not to mention the ending, a definite tearjerker. All in all, I would recommend this novel to everyone, but the bonds it creates with current-day teens is one that I have not felt in many other, if any, other books.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RODW3KCRXKLR2?ASIN=014242417X	The Realistic Side of Cancer	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">“Electric… Filled with staccato bursts or humor and tragedy.”  -Jodi Picoult. The Fault in our Stars is a book that will touch you down deep as your progress through the life of Hazel, a cancer patient. Now specifically, Hazel describes the book as not being a cancer book. A cancer book refers to a sad, but glorified novel of a recollection of the great last minute accomplishments and actions of a cancer victim. Let alone, if you take into consideration of say other books you read of a contrast of reality vs. fantasy. Typically, I notice authors giving readers a fantasy of the plot rather than a realistic view of the plot. As a reader, I desire that realism and relatability like others can agree. The Fault in our Stars exactly does so.<br/>  Next, the book will strike with fury against your emotions through the passionate life adventures of Hazel. BEWARE: this story may cause side effects such as strong crying. I guarantee you’ll find yourself attached to the character of Hazel as she meets new and old friends of hers. Whether you are a boy or girl, you may see how you may relate to Hazel or her friends or life. As a boy if you, yourself, do not relate to any specific character, you may be able to clearly see a similarity between the actions and characters in your book to some of your friends and others. One way or another, attaching yourself to Hazel will increase your interest in the story 100x more, guaranteed. For example, (NO Spoilers) on pages 46-47, there is a scene in a mall with Hazel and a little unknown girl named Jackie. Jackie comes to Hazel and asks about her oxygen tank, and Hazel explains her story and then lets Jackie try it out. Hazel concludes with Jackie by explaining how the tank is vital to her life and she can’t be without it for long. To me, the explanation/ teaching of this to a younger child just shows pure compassion. I’m unsure as to why that may be, whether it be how the child comprehends what Hazel says to her about the tragedy of cancer or just how Hazel explains cancer.<br/> Now, the story bases off of Hazel’s attendance at a support group for struggling victims of illnesses or things like amputations or blindness. Here is where she encounters some main figures to the story. A character named Augustus is introduced, and gains a close bond to Hazel. By conversation and action, the relatability for these characters’ relationship is so close for me. Additionally, when you read the book, you will notice a majority of hilarious comical relief comes from their relationship.<br/> Lastly, the main point a reviewer must address from this book is relatability. If you are a teenager in the age group 14 or 15 and above, you are in the perfect range for this book. The book will easily relate and appeal to you. Especially, John Green’s choice of language and style through his writing in conversation and monologue is practically symmetrical to my current life’s vocabulary. Overall, I would give this book 5 out of 5. However, the book may run into some controversy for you if you disagree with the once in a while sarcastic, non-appropriate humor of a teenager, then you may have some issues with the book. Yet, if you’re in that boat, I recommend this to you. You were in that seat one day of the life of a teen. Whether you or your friends said it, you probably encountered these words as a teen once in your life. This factor only adds more to the practicality and relatability of the book, which I love! I would like to end my review with a thought provoking quote on page 311 that when you read the book you’ll understand the context of it but you can interpret it now without even reading it, “My thoughts are stars I cannot fathom into constellations.” The quote, to me, is so powerful, sicne it’s so true! We all can come up with these great ideas sometimes but we may struggle with how to piece them together and put them into reality. Finally, I recommend this book to anyone who wants a novel to connect with in their life.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3CJEXKCZT4C19?ASIN=014242417X	Teen Romance With A Twist	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Who would have thought a classic romance novel about two teenagers would captivate readers all over the world? John Green’s The Fault In Our Stars puts a twist on the traditional love story about two people who have never met before and suddenly fall in love. Green is known for publishing teen romance stories such as his first novel Looking for Alaska. For it he won the Printz Award from the American Library Association as well as making the Top Ten Best Books For Young Adults list. Green’s works were all successful, including The Fault In Our Stars which was the smash hit of 2013. The novel is heartfelt, humorous, and thoughtful. There is never a moment where readers will want to put the book down. The Fault In Our Stars by John Green puts a new perspective on the classic teen romance novel. It is surely one of the best books of the year.<br/> Hazel Grace Lancaster seems like a typical sixteen-year-old girl; except for the fact she is diagnosed with thyroid cancer that has spread to her lungs. For the majority of her life, she was terminal until her doctors invented a machine that could miraculously shrink the tumor inside her body, buying her a few more years of life. Hazel’s mother forces her to go to Cancer Support Group every week, which she despises. One week, Hazel’s friend Isaac brings his cancer surviving companion named Augustus Waters to Support Group. Augustus finds a certain interest in Hazel, and the two form a bond that is unlike any other. Their relationship is extraordinary, which is what makes the novel so intriguing. Hazel and Augustus seem like they will be together forever, until the plot twists causing their relationship to take a turn for the worst. Will fate be on Hazel and Augustus’s side or will their bond be broken?<br/> After reading The Fault In Our Stars, it instantly reminded me of the heartfelt movie “A Walk To Remember” based on the novel by Nicholas Sparks. The plot consists of two high-schoolers, named Jamie and Landon, who come from polar opposite worlds and end up falling in love with each other. In the end, the main character Jamie is diagnosed with cancer and is terminal. Even though she has cancer, Jamie still keeps an unbreakable bond between her and Landon. The plot of “A Walk to Remember” is similar to that of The Fault In Our Stars because both of the main characters have life-threatening conditions, but still manage keep a strong relationship with the person they fall in love with. Nicholas Sparks and John Green both wrote emotional stories that urge readers to keep reading.<br/> One element that makes The Fault In Our Stars such a brilliant story is how John Green characterizes the protagonist Hazel. Hazel is different from any other main character I’ve read about before because she is unique and extremely odd yet also funny and courageous at the same time. Even though she has cancer, it does not stop her from trying to lead a normal life. She knows her health is what is holding her back from doing things typical teenagers do. But Hazel still manages to take some school classes and has a of couple friends (Green 23). However, my favorite aspect of Hazel is her humor. Her sense of humor is what makes her a unique and different character. For example, on page twelve she says, “I went to Support Group for the same reason that I’d once allowed nurses with a mere eighteen months of graduate education to poison me with exotically named chemicals.” As you can see, John Green’s writing shows how interesting and extraordinary Hazel is.<br/> The Fault In Our Stars is a novel written for people of all ages. Although the plot revolves around a teen romance, John Green’s tone allows many different age groups to be touched by this meaningful story. In addition, The Fault In Our Stars is directed towards both genders. It may be a love story, but both boys and girls will enjoy the plot. For example, girls will like the love aspect of the story and the romance between Hazel and Augustus. Boys will enjoy Augustus’s personality and his witty humor. This story is open to a variety of ages as well as both genders.<br/> Finally, The Fault In Our Stars by John Green is a heartfelt yet humorous novel about two strangers that end up falling in love. What makes this story unlike any other classic teen novel is the rare bond between Augustus and Hazel. Their relationship keeps readers captivated and truly inspires others. I would definitely recommend this novel to other readers.</span>"

Even though it is labeled as  a young adult novel it is definitely worth a read. Green really taps into emotion and writes life-like characters that stay with you as a reader. I recommend it to my students and friends....it is a great read.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3M4Q161ET74ZM?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is officially the fourth book that has ever made me cry.  But as sad as it was, it was so well written and I adored every minute of it.  I loved Hazel's voice and her intelligence.  There were so many clever and touching moments.  My favorite scene was Gus and Hazel's dinner in Amsterdam and I couldn't keep myself from smiling as they sipped champagne on the canal.<br/><br/>There were two quotes that were especially profound and captured the atmosphere of the book.  ""...Mom sobbed something into Dad's chest that I wish I hadn't heard, and that I hope she never finds out that I did hear.  She said, `I won't be a mom anymore.' It gutted me pretty badly."" ""[Dad] was waving back, and crying.  It occurred to me that he was probably thinking he might never see me again, which he probably thought every single morning of his entire weekday life as he left for work, which probably sucked.""  The sad subject of children with cancer was delivered with such honesty and sincerity and I felt honored to read about Hazel's experiences.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R13MPB5T5OTMXG?ASIN=014242417X	An apt description of a teen in this circumstance, at least for many.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I found this book to be entirely compelling,  and I have glanced through the other comments, and will speak less to the structure and composition of the plot, which I felt was a bit forced, but not even that much, and get right to the characters.<br/><br/>My daughter, who has a juvenile form of ALS, transitioned to a 350 lb power wheelchair when she was in 7th grade, who cannot get into anyone's home without being carried, but who can tuck 4 AP classes under her belt, is an artist, masters classes from physics to English and photography with aplomb,  handed me this book and said, ""Mom, I think you would like this.""<br/><br/>She said,  ""Mom,  she is just like me,  she spends all her free time in bed,  her mom is her best friend, and she is completely sarcastic.""  John Green did his homework.  John Green gets that a kid in this situation lives a duality,  that they are far more mature in many ways than their peers,  they have to be ultra-organized just to be able to connect with their peers, they face disappointment after disappointment in their social lives, in their home lives, in their medical lives, and in their quest for normalcy.  Normalcy has to be constantly redefined.  My daughter rarely if ever will cry or complain,  she moves forward, and she is frustrated by how few kids in her school have the courage to broach the difficult questions,  and yet she recognizes that she wears a suit of emotional armor to avert the many awkward moments she faces.<br/><br/>She receives incredible offers once in a while from very odd sources,  to do things which are designed to bring a little light in her life, but from people who often have their own agendas and are not shy about talking about them at all.<br/><br/>She holds it together by holding it in.  As a caregiver to a young woman in a similar circumstance,  (we have only had to say goodbye to one of her peers within our local MDA group, so far),  I can say that this book is an incredible gift,  opening up conversations in homes that have been badly needed.<br/><br/>The concept of a ""pain grenade""?  How many of our teens could talk about that to their parents,  or have to?  I could tell you of some...<br/><br/>For me,  the messages contained in this book are so profoundly powerful, and too seldom available for this age group in this context.  That trumps any slight overtone there might be of John Green...  or any criticism for the sake of literary piousness.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R89N4CPN6CGXK?ASIN=014242417X	Gorgeous cover, good quality pages, and a great read.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I love this book, and this was a gift to my friend. I read it over again before giving it to her, and I wasn't disappointed. John Green forced me to look at life in a different way, and I think this book has that power to do that to everyone. As Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. said, ""Once the mind has been stretched by a new idea, it will never again return to its original size.""</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R23ST4OINXQAU6?ASIN=014242417X	My new favorite book of all time!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I could not put this book down.  I had to wait several months to get this book from my library as there was a rather long list of patrons who had placed their own names on the waiting list ahead of my own.  Had I known then that I would love this book so much, I would have saved myself the wait and simply bought the book in the first place.  This book is simply too good to simply read it once and set it aside while I move on in the search for another equally entertaining tale with which to occupy my time.  The Fault in Our Stars must have a place on my bookshelf of great books I never want to forget.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2GI7FOCF2NG3H?ASIN=014242417X	One of the best books I've ever read.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">A painfully honest book, The Fault In Our Stars is a must-read no matter what your taste in literature is.  The tale of two adolescents who meet in a cancer survivor's support group touches the heart deeply without being maudlin and sentimental.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1IFA3TQACY3F?ASIN=014242417X	Laugh, cry, you'll do both, and you'll love it.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Not sure how I came across this title, I recall hearing the buzz I think and heard they were making it into a movie.  I decided to give the book a shot BEFORE the movie ruins all chances of me reading this.  I was so glad I did.<br/><br/>I treaded lightly, as the subject matter can be a bit of a downer and I didn't want to read anything that would be, well, depressing.  This book does NOT disappoint.  Sure, the subject matter CAN be a downer, but not the way it comes across here.  These characters are so well written, I found myself laughing out loud...or ..well..LMAO within the first few pages.<br/><br/>The ending is spectacular.  I found myself wanting more, to know more, for there to be more, and yet, I knew there couldn't be and it had to end there.  I found myself wishing the story written about within the book was real.  I googled it to see, but of course, it wasn't.<br/><br/>All in all, if a book leaves you profoundly moved, if it made you laugh and cry, if it made you look at a group of people differently, I would say it succeeded in being a very good book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1ZPWP3CVLLXN2?ASIN=014242417X	The best YA book I've ever read.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I'm an avid reader, and just when I thought I had read all of the good young adult books out there, I stumbled upon John Green. I bought Looking For Alaska and Paper Towns along with tfios, but I read the other two first due to a strong pull I felt to this story. I felt as if I needed to rush through the other books and save this one for last, and boy am I glad I did. In the short three hours it took me to read this masterpiece, I was on an emotional roller coaster the whole time. There's mascara staining the pages from the middle of my copy to the end. It's been over a year now and I can't even read a quote without tearing up. Anytime I go to put the book back on my shelf, I can't. I've never felt more attached to a story in all of my years of reading, and no plot line has ever affected or moved me this much. Thank you, John Green, for leaving a mark on me.</span>"

2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1P2U8WKRK5IX6?ASIN=014242417X	A Teen Novel Done Well	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">An Imperial Affliction is a novel written by Peter van Houten, and that fictitious novel is a centerpiece in this one. Hazel, a young woman with cancer, reads this book very frequently, because the main character has cancer and it is portrayed in a way that she identifies with.<br/><br/>When she tells her new friend Augustus about this book that is almost a part of her, he also feels strongly about it, and the two hatch a plan to discover what the author believes happened to the characters after the end of the novel.<br/><br/>I'm really not doing this book justice, but I really enjoyed the role of An Imperial Affliction in The Fault in Our Stars. I recommend.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/REFFFMZM495KT?ASIN=014242417X	A Mere Love Story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Might I be wrong to agree with John Green's premise that we all live our lives to be able to make some sort of positive dent in our world, when we die.  I think not.  This story is nothing but a love story, with two teen aged cancer patients being the lovers.  But if one reads carefully and between the lines, one finds a lot about what life is or should be about.  I believe that Hazel and Gus, our main characters, will become like many great characters in literature.  So maybe one day, when their names are mentioned, everyone will know from which book they have come.  I have a hard time saying that I did not cry while reading this book, as I usually cry at most movies and books. This one had more laughs and one gut buster for me than sadness.  I believe that the title of the book may mean more to those of us who have had tragedy in our lives or think that life should be much more than it really is.  QUITE A REMARKABLE STORY.......INDEED.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R7W5TUHOT50J8?ASIN=014242417X	Blows Lurlene McDaniel (anyone remember those?) out of the water!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is a copy/paste from my Goodreads review. Please see my other reviews.<br/>Those who read my Goodreads reviews know I am brutal in my scathing, fault-finding comments on my latest conquest in the world of literature. Not so with this book. How do I do it justice? Where to start? Until recently my only experience with teen-cancer novels were those saccharine Lurlene McDaniel teen paperbacks from the 80's. This book blows those out of the water.<br/>The story and characters. The story felt real, it flowed naturally, it was believable and kept me turning pages. Hazel, the main character, was an every-girl, didn't matter that she had cancer, was more a side-note because her narration wasn't narcissistic. She didn't have to be a butt-kicking hero like so many other teen protagonists inundating adolescent literature today. She was just a teen girl trying to live her life. And Gus turned out to be the author's unintentional Edward Cullen creation because he was THERE for our heroine sans any cheese and we rooted for them. [I wanted to hate the sex scene but I couldn't. I wanted to hate Gus dying before they could marry and live happily every after but I couldn't. I wanted to groan and roll my eyes at Van Houten's appearance at the funeral but I couldn't. (hide spoiler)] The story demanded that these things happen to these characters and John Green is to be commended. It didn't make me cry but I understand why so many other readers recommend packing along a box a tissues before starting this novel. This is good writing and dang good storytelling. Read this book and pass it on for it fully deserved its place on the New York Times Bestseller list. I'm looking forward to the movie, especially if Willem Dafoe is playing Van Houten, excellent choice!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RSF73E4II93GI?ASIN=014242417X	Definitely A Keeper, Although I Understand Why Some People Don't Like It.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I had not heard of the vlogbrothers before I picked up this book. Therefore, I had no idea who John Green was. And although I can understand the point of the negative reviews, I absolutely adored this book. ""The Fault in our Stars"" made me think about what's important in life. I love John Green's tone and the way he thinks.This book made me become a huge John Green fan, and I'm so glad I read it.<br/><br/>I think what I like most about Hazel Grace and Augustus is their uniqueness (as compared to what society deems ""normal.) Besides the fact that they both have cancer, they clearly don't fit in. Hazel Grace and Augustus have old souls, and that's what connects them to one another. I recommend this book to absolutely everyone. ""The Fault in Our Stars"" should become a modern classic. :)</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2P76RJH635H5C?ASIN=014242417X	Truly amazing read!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I know that I am probably the last person in the country to read this book--it has actually been sitting in my TBR pile for almost a year.  I've wanted to read it--I've heard so many good things about it--but I knew I needed to wait until the month before my book club meeting where we would be discussing it.<br/><br/>There was a real danger with this book--the subject of two teenagers dying of cancer could very easily go the route of the Lifetime movie.  Luckily, Green deftly directs the story so that it rings true instead of saccharine.  I will admit that I had to peak ahead to the end of the book to prepare myself (anyone who picks up this book will know that there are really only two possible endings to this story, both of which are devastating).  But, frankly, all the wonderful things I've heard about this book are true and I'm not ashamed to admit that I bawled my eyes out reading it.<br/><br/>One thing that I particularly loved about this book, besides the central love story, is the relationship that Hazel has with her parents.  After all, I was reading this as a parent, not as a ""young adult.""  I appreciated that the parents were present in this book as it would have been all too easy to relegate them to the background.  I found the relationship that Green created here to be realistic and touching and, while maybe not integral to the story, it helped to give it depth.<br/><br/>If you haven't read this yet, read it now.  Really.  I mean it.  And stock up on tissues.</span>"

It tells the tragic love story of two teens that have cancer. The young couple takes a trip to Amsterdam, courtesy of the genie company, which grants one wish to a cancer fighter.  During their journey, they seek the writer of their favorite book, An Imperial Affliction. After their trip, the male in the relationship finds out that his cancer is back, and later he passes away. Little did his family know that he had spent his last few weeks writing a sequel to An Imperial Affliction, for his girlfriend, Emily.

Well am I glad that I did decide to purchase this book.  It took me a few weeks to actually read it, and when I did, I could not put it down.  I finished this little tear jerker in a day, it was just that powerful and slightly emotional of a book.  If you like a main character that is struggling to find something in life then I guaranty that this is the book for you, no matter what age you are, it'll bring you to tears.</span>"

It tells the story of a girl who has cancer and chooses to be anti-social. While in a mandatory weekly meeting (as made sure of by her mother) for those who suffer from cancer, she meets someone who catches her eye, whose name is Augustus Waters. He soon plays a large role in Hazel's life and changes her point of view on things. I laughed and cried while reading this book and I have never thought abut life so much after reading a book. I recommend this to all teens and adults, you wont regret picking up this book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R23XJQQEC7AZFQ?ASIN=014242417X	Definitely Not Worth the Hype, But a Good Read Nevertheless	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I was really expecting to be moved by the characters, moved by the plot, etc. This book fell a little flat for me. I'm in my late teens, and I almost feel that this book is marketed to a specific subset of the young adult/teen group: those who can relate to fairly static, and slightly annoying teenage characters. It's a pretty simple read, so I would recommend everyone read the novel to form their own opinion of it. I give the book 3/5 stars.</span>"

This book made me cry. I'm an avid reader and I've read many books, but this one is the only one that has ever made me cry so much. The characters are a little out there, as in, their personalities cannot be related to most teens but they're adorable nonetheless. Definitely recommend.</span>"

I learnt, I laughed, I cried.<br/><br/>The Fault In Our Stars tackles the topic of teenage cancer and John Green deals with it brilliantly, unpretentiously and realistically. Cancer is real, it is hard, and it is life.<br/><br/>The main character, Hazel, has Stage 4 thyroid cancer and spends her life in hospitals and hooked up to machines. She meets Augustus, an amputee and ex-basketball player, at a cancer support group and they immediately hit it off.<br/><br/>Behind the cancer mask, this is a love story between two young people who are touching death. The book is about the journey that they take and how they live and love in the moment.<br/><br/>Don't be put off by the themes of this book - it is a MUST read; an unflinching look at mortality.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1H3P12C1KNGJP?ASIN=014242417X	Review	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Where to start with The Fault in our Stars?  John Green writes a moving and sad story of modern star-crossed lovers.  Hazel is a teenage girl living with terminal cancer.  While her cancer is currently responding to a particular drug, she knows that she will eventually sucumb to this disease.  Hazel tries to seal herself off from the world around her, sure she will cause eventual pain to everyone close to her.  Enter Augustus Waters: a charming teenage boy in remission from his osteosarcoma.  The two bond over Hazel's obsession with the book An Imperial Affliction and begin a relationship through which they both grow, support and learn to love.<br/> John Green's daring novel touches on something many teens don't, or don't want to, think about: their own mortality.  This text is magical and painful and tragic and disappointing and surprising.  I would love to teach this text alongside Romeo and Juliet.  Green's Augustus Waters is such a special character and readers get to watch as he breaks down Hazel's walls and deals with things that no teen should have to deal with.  This text would be great to teach in a classroom or to read in a book club.  There is a lot to discuss and, trust me, when you finish it you're going to want to talk about it.<br/>Green includes a few twists and takes the novel exactly where you don't think he will take it.  He fills the book with deep, thought provoking quotes; the type of quotes that teens will post as their statuses and tweet for weeks after finishing it.  This will definitely be many adolescents' favorite books.  This book resists many cliches.  It does not have a happy ending and definitely does not play into what the reader wants.  Green follows the tragic reality that things don't always play out how you want, or expect.  Many readers will ache for more closure, but I feel that Green ends the text perfectly.  The Fault in our Stars is a must read.  Keep tissues handy.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RAKLX8W9589N6?ASIN=014242417X	Really good book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Such a good book. I would read this one over and over again, I liked it that much. Money well spent!</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1KEOLSWJDW9N0?ASIN=014242417X	What can I say? I recommend you read this book.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Wow. I really liked this book, I might even love it. I almost read the whole thing in one sitting, but my husband insisted that I come to bed, so I reluctantly put it down and finished it up the next morning.<br/><br/>I like how John Green was inspired by Esther Earl when he came up with Hazel. I know it's not her story there are some similarities as well as lots of differences. I like how two kids are trying to find a way to live while they are dying. I knew going in that I would most likely cry while reading this story and I did. It's a book about kids with cancer, we all know it can't be happy all the time. I love Hazel and Gus's witty banter and the way they try to keep things light. I love the ways that John Green makes you think about what kind of impact you might leave or not leave once you are gone. I like the way he handles what can be a very heavy subject, especially for a parent.<br/><br/>We picked this book to read and discuss at our April 2014 book club meeting, but I wanted to read the book sooner. I fully plan on listening to the audio version of this book closer to our book club meeting and have no problem re-reading this book. I can see getting lots of discussion out of this book.<br/><br/>Speaking of discussion have you read John Green's FAQs about this book on his website? I recommend checking that out after you finish this book. I thoroughly enjoyed reading that too.<br/><br/>What can I say? I recommend you read this book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1F6ODCBWORXAW?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in this Book...none!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Yes I know my title's a little corny, but I stand by the fact that this book is one of the best realistic fiction novels in a long time. John Green is an exceptional author who has the ability to transfer every emotion within the story to that of the reader who is simultaneously reading along. Based off the myriad summaries online, this book might seem like a mushy-gushy fairy tale, but, Green quickly severs that idea with a sharp knife. However, if you find that it's not just a good storyline that defines a book, but rather the portrayal of characters that does the trick; this is exactly the case in The Fault in Our Stars. The sheer brilliance of how every character has a uniquely strong personality and voice makes the reader hungry for more. With every sentence that transpires, we understand the main characters, Hazel and Augustus, with having acquired one more piece to the puzzle. Whether a young adult, or past the ""teen"" stage, this book is perfect for someone who wants to experience a situation that one can relate to in the perfect amount. This is a story that will not only have you distraught with anticipation whilst reading it, but also have you pondering your own life decisions well after you've put the book down. Though not every single event might seem plausible, in the end, The Fault in Our Stars is nothing short of amazing. At times this book will make you furious. At times it will make you laugh. And most of the time this novel will make you cry. In general, every word in this book will make you feel an emotion that you might not have even known you had. If you want a good read, read this book. Only, beforehand make sure some tissues are nearby.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1C5U17TI6ZIQS?ASIN=014242417X	One of the Worst Best books of all time	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in our Stars will teach you how to appreciate the faults and lack of faults in yourself. John Green, well-known youtuber, captures the reality of cancer patients (not stars) in an eloquently yet moderately explicit plot. You will definitely not not like this book because who doesn't love an educative book that has a riveting plot style with out-of-this-world vocabulary? Personally, this book has shown me the value of appreciation and enjoyment because life is essentially the shortest long thing we have. Life always feels short, but it is the longest thing we have. And this book has urged me to enjoy this ""short"" time we have, because it can be over in a heartbeat. Overall, if you're looking for an entertaining, deep, and educative book, The Fault in Our Stars will not disappoint.<br/><br/>By the way, the title of this review and its rating are related. I rated this book 4 stars, and not 5, because I felt like Green could have utilized more plots with the number of pages he used. That may mean nothing to you, and that's because it doesn't. The book is, nonetheless, spotless. I'm just saying it could have been better.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R106RAXS7L27US?ASIN=014242417X	I love it!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Since the time I could read until now as a ninth grader, I have never read a book as good as the Fault in Our Stars. The Fault in Our Stars is an intriguing yet heart breaking book written by John Green that has been touching the hearts of teen girls for the past few years. I say teen girls because most guys don't enjoy reading about love or romantic tragedies. In the book, John uses the tragedy of a young teen, Hazel Grace, who has lung cancer, and turns her tragedy into every girl's fairy tale. Hazel meets a boy, Augustus, who sweeps her right off her feet. Together, you could say that they were almost perfect together, besides some difficulties with them both having to deal with cancer. But everyone knows that in real life, there aren't always happy endings. I won't spoil the ending for you, but I will tell you that you will not see it coming. I think that is one reason I enjoyed reading John's work so much.  He is always throwing you off guard, or he has some sort of major plot twist that you could have never imagined. In the Fault in Our Stars, John uses the elements of loss, love, and even some humor to keep the reader engaged in this book. When I started reading the book, it was so hard for me to put it down. Just when I thought everything was all fine and dandy something would happen and I just had to keep reading. This book is honestly the best book I have ever read, and you should definitely not miss out on the story of Hazel Grace and Augustus Winters in the Fault in Our Stars.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2B4GFWE3MBEBZ?ASIN=014242417X	John Green, right in the feels.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">If you haven't read this book yet, you are missing out. It is an absolutely one of a kind story, that keeps you hooked until the very end, and even long after you've put it down. This is the only book I've ever cried at; not even Marley and Me got me sobbing like this book. And you know what? I'm not afraid to admit that, not with the fault in our stars.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RJSFK8PVVLK2T?ASIN=014242417X	Awesom book, inspiring, Greatest book I've ever read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I'm an 18 year old male that was assigned to read this at my local community college. After being assigned the book, I figured that because it was a mandatory read, I figured like previous experiences that it wouldn't be good.<br/><br/>I can't be any more wrong. I had 2 days left to read the book. Once I started, I can't explain how much I got into this book. It keeps you hooked. Chapter by chapter, new things happen, suspense builds and you just can't help but to read on for what happens next.<br/><br/>This book is sad, funny, but overall amazing.<br/><br/>Finishing the book, I felt as if I was a changed person and that somehow, the characters in the book felt so real like I knew them personally and that everything happened in real life.<br/><br/>I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to dedicate their time to reading it.<br/><br/>Great book overall.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1D0B7NIYWI2TY?ASIN=014242417X	a beautiful read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is one of those books, that truly moves you. You will laugh, you will cry, and everything in between. I understand the criticism from some reviewers that the protagonists don't seem like real teenagers. In a way, that's very true. But what some fail to recognize is that these characters are not your average teenagers - they have had to deal with the reality of death, at a very young age. That in itself makes you mature incredibly fast. So it seemed natural to me that these kids had a very adult view of the world.<br/><br/>The writing IMO was very beautiful, raw and real. More depth and heart than your average YA novel.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3NIY0PRB20CG3?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in Our Stars Sophia Meyers per. 2	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was one of the most amazing books I have ever read and I absolutely loved it. By the time it was over it brought tears to my eyes. I fell in love with the two main characters Augustus Waters and Hazel.  Their relationship kept me interested and had me always wanting to read more. The way Hazel persevered with her cancer and never gave up was so inspiring. In the beginnng of the story Hazel was very vulnerable and was borderline line depression. She met Augustus at a Cancer support group and her life started to change.  She started to go out more just to see him. Hazel didn't have a negative look on life anymore now that she was spending her time with Augustus.  My favorite part if this story was when they took their Vacation to Amsterdam.  Hazel wasn't living like a cancer patient but instead she was living her life to the fullest.  She got to see what it was like to live without the stress of cancer. This book is something everyone young and old should all read because the lessons taught leave a message that I will never forget.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2J6F5E7JGH4OT?ASIN=014242417X	Oblivion is Inevitable	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">""My thoughts are stars I cannot fathom into constellations."" This book is about Hazel Grace Lancaster, a 16 year old girl, living with stage 4 Lung Cancer. During one of her visits to support group for cancer kids, she meets Augustus Waters. Augustus Waters is a 17 year old boy in remission of osteosarcoma. She meets eyes with him and doesn't really know what to think. Throughout the book they become closer and friendlier.<br/><br/>They both liked to read, so they switched favorite books for the other to read. Hazel was unsure about reading anything but her normal book, An Imperial Affliction. Although she was reluctant at first she read Augustus' book and he read hers. She ended up liking it in the end and Augustus liked his. There were many questions for the writer of An Imperial Affliction, Peter van Houten. They both wanted to find answers.<br/><br/>As a cancer kid, you get one desired wish through Genies. Hazel had used hers on a trip to Disney a few years earlier. Augustus hadn't used his though, and it was still eligible. They both use the wish to visit some place they really want to go.<br/><br/>This is one of the best books that I have ever read. It is so great and it really touched me. I cried at the end of the book because it was really sad but beautiful at the same time. I would recommend The Fault in our Stars to anyone.</span>"

Both young and intelligent and both fighting to find balance in a world that is anything but balanced.  Hazel knows she is going to die and does not want to put the pain of her death on her new friend, Augustus.  Augustus has already had one girlfriend die of cancer and she does not want to be the second.  As they work through these issues, they find a connection that will help them both through the impossibly tough times ahead.<br/><br/>My review:  This book was fantastic.  I love how John Green writes, each of the characters in the book are so different, its almost like I hear each person's words differently in my head.  He does a great job of giving each character his/her own personality and emotions.  Happy, sad, funny, he writes each of these emotions perfectly.  Even though this book is written for Young Adults, there is meaning here for all of us.  I just finished reading this today but I think I will like the book even more as time goes on, as I have more time to think about how this story ended, as I am able to talk about it with others.  This feels like one of the stories that gets even better with time.  One line that has stuck with me and will continue with me forever is ""I fell in love the way you fall asleep: slowly, and then all at once.""  I mean that is just perfect writing.<br/><br/>My rating: 8<br/>Pages: 313<br/>Author website: [...]</span>"

I didn't know that this was a book about cancer. It was funny, because I had just finished my own chemotherapy treatment when I was reading this. It is a well-written book, with very real emotions and teenage angst. Although it is classified as a ""young adult"" novel (which I am not, being 36 years old), it is equally entertaining and enjoyable for the more mature reader. An easy read, and I would highly recommend this. I have heard that this was to be made into a movie.</span>"

What I got was a Y/A novel that was very much an adult novel.  Maybe teens with cancer are wiser and older than their peers because they have to be.  I found the story very compelling and the descriptions very real.  The audio version was done so well.  There are so many audio books that the narrators kill the story, not so with this one.  The story matter is sad, but there is magic and happiness too.  This is much more than just a cancer story, it lets the reader know that no matter how insignificant we are we all have a reason to live. I am so glad I got to spend time with Augustus Waters and Hazel Grace.  Thank you John Green for writing this story.</span>"

I let my 13-year old read this book and though something intimate happens between the characters it is not described in detail and I felt it was okay for her to read because the rest of the story is so moving.  I recommend this books to adults all the time.  It would be great for book groups too.  I really think it is a fantastic story and hats off to John Green.</span>"

4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R8FDLUQUD4QRE?ASIN=014242417X	Indescribable	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The feeling this book leaves is a hope in your heart that there are bigger things in this world than electronics, the newest clothes, and frivolous things. Love is what really has Hazel pushing through, especially when she meets Augustus. Augustus' actions towards Hazel are indescribable. Going through the same things she is going through, is a bond not many can have together.  On their trip to Amsterdam, even though Hazel did not meet her favorite author, Peter Van Houten, I believe she found more about herself and her true heart than ever before. The compassion they share for each other is amazing especially when Augustus' cancer came back, she never left him. Also, at his funeral, she completely rewrote her eulogy to him to tend to the broken heart of his suffering parents. This book reaches beyond your outer core and finds something everyone can relate to through these two characters in the book especially. I know I found many things in common about myself and Hazel while reading this book. This experience has taught me that even though someone is different or has a different life, does not mean they are bad. Just because they might not understand what you are going through, does not mean they are not going through anything as well. I recommend this book for anyone who needs to find a deeper meaning in their life, or even themselves.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1QKP42MQWDHEJ?ASIN=014242417X	Mixed Feelings.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I have seen this book in many must read lists and so was always curious about it. Then without knowing what it is about I gifted it to a friend who's not a very avid reader. My friend didn't read it because she thought it was depressing. I was more intrigued in my resolve now to read the book. I picked it up seven days back and I liked the beginning a lot.<br/><br/>I liked the way the author says things which if you try to quote people will consider largely flat and out of context so you can't quote anything from the book without reading a whole big paragraph and giving an introduction. This I actually liked a lot because it is about two teenagers realistically.<br/><br/>I also liked the circumstances, the jist of it, the despair and the very poignant random musings but I felt like the author tried a bit too hard at this formula. Somewhere I felt the protagonist in trying to overcome their own bad luck is trying to tell the reader something. She seems a bit too ideal for me to consider real. Repeated musings on the poignance of a given situation and helplessness I felt didn't translate the sorrow all that well.<br/><br/>Yes, this is sad.<br/>Yes, it is a good book.<br/><br/>I just feel the author could have written it a little better and I am not in the business of knowing how to do that. It was the end I didn't like. It left me wanting to re-read every page to see if I missed out on something here.<br/><br/>His conversations could have been more clear - sometimes one would get confused between who is saying what. I often found myself re-reading more pages.<br/><br/>A friend texted me today saying ""looking for alaska"" is the best book that they have read this year. So i'm looking forward to this. I liked this but I am not sure what I am taking with me that i didn't have a view of.<br/><br/>Love? Sorrow? Hope? Amsterdam? Sorry. Lost.</span>"

After reading it, I get it. This is an amazingly well-written YA novel. The characters are real and interesting and clever. The story is unique and funny and heartbreaking. I didn't expect to laugh and smile so much while reading a book about teenagers with cancer. It's really more about life, and being human, and being authentic. Great read!</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2OWT8YP71FLAM?ASIN=014242417X	Well Written	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This isn't one of my usual reads. Usually I don't gravitate towards books that are about cancer, it's just taken too many people from me. I don't want to go through that heartache again, even if it's for a fictional character. But when this book came up on the list for my book club, I was pretty intrigued.<br/><br/>The book is pretty well written, the characters were well thought out and their path/destiny was an interesting journey. I thought that the naked honesty about facing and living with death was admirable. I appreciated the light humor sprinkled throughout and I also enjoyed the bittersweet moments of humor and sadness that really touched my heart.<br/><br/>I really liked the part where Gus was saving the world (which is what two of my friends call playing military-ish video games) and he saved some kids in the game and said ""my life bought them a minute and that's not nothing"". That really resonated with me - every minute is so important.<br/><br/>There was one character that drove me absolutely nuts. I didn't like this character at all and even though the book was based almost completely around him, I found parts of his involvement in the book to just be a waste of time. Why was the book hinged on this character? I keep thinking that if some of his interactions with Hazel had been different, it would have changed the tone of the book and it may have changed the lackluster ending for me.<br/><br/>I'm always in constant search for a novel that has two things: I want a flawed main character, I want them to be so messed up that I almost can't stand them because you usually get to see this amazing character transformation/growth happen during a novel. I think it's pretty damn close to magic to watch those transformations happen and a great author can make it almost seamless. The second is for a book to make me feel. I don't care what it is... love, hate, disgust, admiration... it doesn't matter, just make me feel. This book delivered the first but I thought it fell short on making me feel.<br/><br/>Now don't get me wrong, it was sad but it didn't break me down and I think I was waiting for that. I expected for this to have a gut-wrenching ending and when it didn't, I felt a bit let down. And that just kind of ruined ... everything for me. I think that an ending can make or break a book and this ending didn't do the book justice at all for me.<br/><br/>All of that being said, it's being turned into a movie and while I don't feel compelled to see it now, I probably will get it on Netflix because I have to see how all of the characters are portrayed and see if maybe I was wrong about any of them.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2ERKTVPCPBV6N?ASIN=014242417X	Great book!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is YA, but not Twilight-YA. I honestly didn't feel like I was reading a book that I'm too old to be reading. Sure, it's a book who's main characters are 16 years old, but it didn't feel juvenile or immature. In fact, it felt quite the opposite as it centers around a pretty heavy issue, cancer, &amp; child cancer at that.<br/><br/>The protagonist, Hazel, is 16 &amp; has terminal cancer. She meets &amp; falls in love with Augustus, who lost his leg to cancer, but is currently in remission. I really liked both of these characters. They're kindred spirits &amp; it's simultaneously refreshing &amp; heartbreaking to watch their relationship develop.<br/><br/>Green tackles some big issues, like cancer, obviously, but also life, love &amp; death. The book is for ages 14 &amp; up, but this 36 year old thoroughly enjoyed it. In the few days since I've finished it, I've found myself thinking about Hazel &amp; Augustus a lot &amp; wishing their story continued.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R25E98JFQG214E?ASIN=014242417X	Major tearjerker	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is a hard review for me to write. I knew this was a super sad book before I read it. It's obvious that someone dies. My daughter read this book in a couple of hours and told me how much she cried and how amazing this book was. It took me three days. I just couldn't reach that part that made me not want to put it down. The most interesting thing about the whole book was hunting this author down that they love so much. I can see me doing that. Other than that it wasn't that good. It was drown in pretty words that no teenagers speak in real life. If they didn't talk pretty and I wasn't wondering who was going to die the whole time I don't think it would have been that great of a book. I did cry but I didn't cry as much as every one else I know who read it. Maybe I am this horrible unfeeling person but maybe it's because I just can't relate. I'm not saying it wasn't a good book because there were things that I did like. There were quotes that actually made sense and there were things and people that I liked. I liked van houten. He was real to me. I like Isaac. I was not in love with Augustus waters. I don't know. I do know that to me, a great book is one where after I put it down, I can't stop thinking about it. I think about it for days and can't pick up another book. This one was not like that. I read, I cried, I was done, I put it down and I was over it.</span>"

3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RKY0QSUZJB28B?ASIN=014242417X	An Excellent, Page Turning Love Story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in our Stars by John Green is truly a book worth somebody's time, even if they aren't a big reader. When a friend first told me to read this book for an independent reading school project, I hesitated. I only had about a week and a half to read a book, and The Fault in Our Stars is three-hundred pages long. However, as soon as I read the first page, I was immediately captivated with the life of sixteen-year-old Hazel and her life of hardship due to cancer. I finished the book within a few days, and I am certainly not big on reading books.<br/>  The number one reason why I absolutely love this book is simply because I can relate to Hazel. No, I haven't had cancer, and I'm not quite sixteen. In fact, I myself am not really like Hazel at all. However, the way that Hazel thinks and narrates her life (the book is written from her point of view) is completely understandable and relatable.<br/>  Something that throws me off about other various reviews on websites is the fact that people are calling it a love story. Yes, the main character and the supporting role are in love, however the book puts more emphasis on their true friendship rather than their romanticizing. For that, I would recommend this book to girls AND boys.<br/>  The Fault in Our Stars can be bitter at parts, and emotionally sensitive people like myself will probably cry while reading the book. Nonetheless, the reason why the reader may become sad is naturally because he or she is guaranteed to love and make connections with the characters. This book, a bittersweet page-turner, is sincerely one of the best books I have ever read, and I recommend it to anyone who has feelings. It may seem like too trendy of a book to some people, however I can promise that it is an excellent read. READ THIS BOOK!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R16HEC9H8E6MI9?ASIN=014242417X	Review: The Fault in Our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Talk about a tear jerker.<br/><br/> Hazel is living with cancer, waiting for the moment she will eventually die. There is no hope of ridding herself of it. She doesn't have any friends and spends most of her time reading or in front of the TV, until she meets Augustus one day at Support Group.<br/><br/> The narrative in The Fault in Our Stars was wonderfully organic. It always felt very honest and all around realistic to me. Hazel has lived with death looming over her for three years now so she's a bit of a pessimist and is really just living so her parents won't have to deal with her death just yet. Mostly a homebody, she goes through life trying to hurt the least amount of people as possible when she dies. Augustus was full of life and really helped Hazel live for probably the first time in three years, despite her trying to avoid it and him. He didn't quit and he never pitied her. He understands her. And how cute is it that he called her Hazel Grace? I loved that.<br/><br/> The actual story had me crying or trying not to cry for the approximately the last 60 pages or so. But... the ending felt a little incomplete. I fully expected Hazel to die or be on her death bed at the end of the book but it didn't end that way.... I guess that just seemed like the right ending for this book to me. The ending wasn't bad though, I mean...well just read the little teaser below.<br/><br/>""You never worry if she is smarter than you. You know she is. She is funny without ever being mean. I love her. I am so lucky to love her, Van Houten.""<br/><br/> So sweet. Over all, I enjoyed The Fault in Our Stars and while I can't think of anything that really put me off, it was just a three-star book for me.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R30I7VC7CFMLER?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault In Our Stars Book Review	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Love. When we think of a love story we think of over dramatic connections between the characters that never could be realistic. John Green did the complete opposite. In his beautiful writing Hazel Grace Lancaster was a normal teenager, until she diagnosed with Thyroid cancer  when she was thirteen. Now at the age of sixteen her mother feels Hazel is depressed and makes her go to a support group for teenagers with cancer, but one meeting when Augustus Waters shows up unexpectedly, her life changes. Through out the book we see Augustus humorous attempts to attract Hazel, and watch their relationship bloom into a heart wrenching love story. I thought John Green gave us a tragic love story about the fear of loving someone when you know the chance of living is minimal, but he show us the sacrifices we will do for love. John Green really made me feel the characters pain, which is hard for an author to do.<br/> There is a lot of controversy of this book saying Hazel and Augustus are not normal teenagers, because of their mature vocabulary, but not all teenagers are the OMG type of people. I think John really opens our mind to expanding our vocabulary instead of OMGing everything. This book can open our minds to really appreciate every moment of everyday. Instead of complaining about waking up early to go to school, we should embrace and appreciate the fact we can actually go to school. If we ever have a bad day, we have to think about the positives about every second. John Green's writing could really inspire us to become better people in our action, and our thoughts.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2HJHF3BJJZ2DD?ASIN=014242417X	I wish I could give a 4.5.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Though many parts of the book were unrealistic it still was enjoyable. The teens in the book seemed extremely intellectual and spoke like poets. Being a teenager myself I really liked the intellectual words; many of which could cut deep depending on the person reading it. All in all the book is quite good if you are looking for a story about 2 teens which find happiness although they are struggling with physical illnesses.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RPINBSU1FHX16?ASIN=014242417X	Less clever and cute and more meaningful.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I am amazed at the praise that has been heaped upon this slight, albeit well-intentioned book.  I know it's a YA (and I am not Y anymore) but c'mon even from a young adult's perspective this is a glib, disingenuous story much more concerned with being clever and cute than meaningful. This is a sweet story but could have been so much better if the author had stuck with the core story and not gone off a tangent about the whole Dutch writer and the search for the book's answers (and some highly improbable interactions). More attention needed to be paid to the main characters and their relationship, their struggles with their health problems and their feelings toward each other.  To me it was glossed over and you are left with a somewhat average story that is far from the ""damn near genius"" that the TIME magazine reviewer gushed.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RS37GLN96JMQG?ASIN=014242417X	Great	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I chose this book based on others' reviews, and I will add my five stars as well.  Tough topic, but so well written and inspiring.  Loved this book</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3CREDSD9I4YAC?ASIN=014242417X	The Best Love Story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Love stories. All books these days seem to be these. Almost all love stories are just the typical high school relationship- two teens fall in love, have some problems, and end up living happily ever after. Now don't get me wrong, I love a good love story, and that's just it. The key word is good. All love stories nowadays seem to be replicas of another one. Same plotline with a few changes and it gets boring after awhile.<br/><br/>The Fault In Our Stars by John Green is another love story but not your typical one and definitely does not fall into the category of replicas. This story takes you through the twists and turns of Hazel and Augustus' relationship. When I heard about this book, I knew I had to read it. Everyone seemed to be in love with it, and I had not heard one bad thing about it. I figured I'd give it a try and see what all the hype was about. You could say I had high expectations and those expectations were met, if not exceeded. The moment I opened this book, I fell into the story. I laughed when the characters laughed, I cried when they cried, I really felt like I was apart of them or they were my friends. The cancer twist kept me on the edge of my seat because anything could happen at any moment. Hazel and Augustus were so different, yet so alike. It takes a lot for me to cry when I'm reading something, and this novel was one of the few that me cry.<br/><br/>Now, some may argue that Augustus and Hazel's language are too sophisticated and they aren't relatable to teens, but that's life. Obviously not all teenagers in the real world are going to talk like they do, but I can assure you that some do, you may just not know them. The characters will not be relatable to everyone because no one has the same story as someone else. I think it all depends on your perspective on things and what you've been through. I'll admit, I didn't relate to them. But I don't have cancer and I don't have any friends with cancer. You don't have to relate to the characters in a book for it to be a great story.<br/><br/>I do have one small complaint though. The book was slow. What do I mean by that? I felt like it dragged on a little bit. It was around chapter 12 or 13 where the story really took off and I literally could not put the book down. I just wish the book would have picked up a bit sooner, but it was still one of the best books, and love stories, I have ever read. It was refreshing to read this novel, and not be bored. I had no clue what to expect and I hadn't ever read a book like this before. It was an emotional, heartwarming, and wonderful love story between two lovesick teenagers who just happened to be fighting an illness. I can promise you that when you read this book, you will cry at some points and you will cheer at others. You won't ever be able to guess what's about to happen.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1V60QQH0GEW0V?ASIN=014242417X	Honors Reading Project	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read this book for an outside reading assignment in my Honors English Class. When I had first heard about The Fault in Our Stars, I was not quite sure that I would like it. Several people that I had talked to had suggested this book, but I still was not sure. I was afraid that it was going to be a depressing book about cancer. I decided to give this novel a try for my reading project, and I am very glad that I chose to read this heart-warming novel.<br/>The Fault in Our Stars is centered on the life of 17 year old Hazel Lancaster, who has thyroid cancer. Hazel attends a weekly cancer support group, which she typically dreads going to. But one day, at support group, Hazel meets the charming Augustus Waters.  Augustus and Hazel fall for each other and have an adorable relationship. Eventually, their medical problems cause a tragic complication in their relationship.<br/>I personally thought that The Fault in Our Stars was an excellent book. This book had my emotions going wild. At times, this novel had me laughing, and other times it had me crying.  When I originally heard of this book, I thought it was going to be a cancer book. I was pleasantly surprised that this book was much more.  Yes, several characters in the novel did have cancer, but the story line involved much more than the everyday hardships that come with cancer. I could not put The Fault in Our Stars down. I would highly recommend this book to anyone seeking to read a great story.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R164VREN1C84R6?ASIN=014242417X	I read this book for an outside reading assignment for my Honors English class	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">""The Fault In Our Stars"" is a book about a young girl named Hazel Grace Lancaster. Hazel tries to lead the life of a normal sixteen-year-old girl even though she suffers from stage IV thyroid cancer with metastasis in her lungs. Hazel's over protective mother and father make her attend a cancer support group every week. There she meets seventeen-year-old Augustus Waters, who is in remission but lost his leg to osteosarcoma. Augustus immediately takes a strong liking to Hazel Grace and eventually falls in love with her. ""The Fault In Our Stars"" does an exceptional job of capturing the devastating effects that cancer can have on people, but it also does an exceptional job of highlighting the ways cancer can bring people and families together. The book may be interpreted in many ways, such as the classic boy meets girl love story, or a teenage girl trying to find the value of life. I find the characters in ""The Fault In Our Stars"" very relatable to young teens despite the fact that the characters have cancer. The story is also relatable to most parents, whether their child has cancer or they are just trying to handle raising a teenager. I would definitely recommend this book to others, especially those looking for a book that can make them laugh, but also make them cry. After reading ""The Fault In Our Stars"" I have learned that most people take life for granted and that no one is promised tomorrow.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1V0NG1FXW0CWI?ASIN=014242417X	Cancer Leads to Love	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in our Stars, written by John Green is a young adult book about teens with cancer. Generally, books about cancer aren't very appealing. But when you get this book about two teens who find love in midst of their treatments, you just can't put it down. When Hazel Grace Lancaster meets Augustus Waters at her cancer support group her life changes in ways she didn't think possible. Between supporting their best friend Isaac and planning trips to meet a famous author, the two develop a relationship that no one else could ever understand.<br/><br/>What I really liked about this book is the fact that John Green uses big words and talks about things that most people think teens won't understand. Generally, people my age are completely clueless about the stages and different types of cancer, but that doesn't stop John Green from putting all those words that go along with treatment into his writing. I like this book because I couldn't put it down. It pulls you in with the use of humor and tragedy all at the same time. I couldn't stop reading because it was so wonderful, yet at the same time, all you wanted to do was cry.<br/><br/>There wasn't anything I didn't like about this book. I think some people didn't like how John Green had the characters use such big words and say these long speeches that normal teens would never say. What people don't realize is that Hazel and Gus aren't `normal.' They were forced to grow up way before anyone else their age. They've been living life with the mentality of expecting death almost their whole lives so I don't think that John Green making them give each other these speeches was a bad thing.<br/><br/>I've read all of John Greens' books except An Abundance of Kathrines. In my opinion, The Fault in Our Stars is the best one he's written. I would say that anyone could read this book. It teaches you a lot about life and yourself.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3ADKT7J306RHJ?ASIN=014242417X	Great subplot concerning author	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I wasn't so much enthralled by the two main characters, Gus and Hazel, although I did learn quite a bit about how young adults handle cancer.  I have no close friends or family who have had cancer, so this was quite educational for me.  However, I loved the role played by the alcoholic and gruff author, van Houten.  His offbeat and quirky commentary really made the book for me, and I found myself craving for more ""screen time"" for him.  The way his prose made its way into the two main characters' lives, as they face the prospect of early deaths, was cleverly handled.<br/><br/>The dialogue between the two main characters - and between themselves and their friends and close family - is totally unrealistic.  No one in an average family or neighbourhood talks like that or can summon up complex prose and witty one-liners like that.  Totally.  But, I decided to cast aside my disbelief, and just enjoy the uniqueness of the conversations.  After all, we've heard enough, and read enough banal conversations in our everyday lives, haven't we?</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2P4X3SZP2V3NF?ASIN=014242417X	Everything about this book is perfect, Okay. Okay?	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SOME BIG SPOILERS ABOUT THE BOOK, IF YOU DON'T WANT TO HEAR THEM DON'T READ THE REVIEW!<br/>John Green did an absolutely amazing job at writing this novel. I was hooked from the very first page all the way until the end. Hazel and Augustus are perfect for each and I love the foreshadowing Green has in this book. SPOILER ALERT! SPOILER ALERT! For example, when Hazel and Augustus are on their way to Amsterdam in a plane, they both press the button to play the movie at the exact same time, yet Augustus's movie plays first. Well why would his movie play first if they pressed it at the same exact time? Green foreshadows Augustus dying first by doing this. How? Well if his movie starts first, then it has to end first, right? Well his life started first, so it's going to end before Hazels. Movies don't last that long, neither does our lives. This isn't any coincidence, Green meant to do that!<br/><br/>This book should be read by high schoolers and young adults because of some inappropriate parts.Also, it had curse words that pop up quite a bit and it does have the ""f"" word in it once.<br/><br/>This book is my most favorite book, and I have read many books, so that's pretty hard to become a favorite! LOL<br/>okay. okay. (Read the book to understand what that means(; )</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RADNKBZLMBPNT?ASIN=014242417X	One of the most powerful experiences I have ever had reading...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">What can I say about a book that already has thousands of reviews. Another review would just be repetitive and pointless in a grand scheme of things. So, I'm just gonna drop in a few of my personal thoughts.<br/><br/>The Fault in our Stars is a heart-breaking reality of what goes though the mind of teenagers with cancer. It felt to real to me. I was so building myself up for the reality of one thing happening, that when the other happened I was angry, sad, wanted to throw things, and to quote Hazel, ""This is such bull----!""<br/><br/>Yet, through it all. All the pain and the sadness--I maintain that this book should be required reading in High Schools. The demand to updated required reading in schools has been a long time coming. It is time to give teens a book that is absolutely something they can relate to.<br/><br/>To be honest, when I had to read To Kill a Mockingbird in high school I didn't appreciate it. I read it again two years ago and then it all clicked. Teens don't care about stories like that. They care about stories like The Fault in Our Stars. Give them a book they will actually WANT to read when it comes that time!</span>"

2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R23IR5790ELUSJ?ASIN=014242417X	This made me cry	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I really liked this book, and when I finally turned the last page (tear-stained face and all) I didn't really know how I would put the way I felt about it into words - but I'm going to try...<br/><br/>I'm not usually the type of person who enjoys reading books about cancer, especially after My Sister's Keeper, which I did not particularly enjoy. On the other hand, this story can resonate with the likes of A Walk to Remember, which I loved. Both share various similarities; in the same way that Jamie is afraid to love Landon because of her illness, Hazel does not want to be a 'grenade' to the people around her and when she dies aims to hurt the least amount of people possible. But when faced with someone as witty and charming as Augustus Waters, how could she not?<br/><br/>This story is many things, among them poetic, humourous, sad, ironic and philosophical. The writing was touching, beautiful and definitely allows the reader to form a strong connection with the story. The quotes from An Imperial Affliction fit in perfectly with what was happening and really added the depth that the events deserved. That aside, there were times when one could perhaps smile at the cute sentences exchanged by a young couple falling in love, there were times to cry, to understand and to give sympathy to the characters going through the harder days, even when that is something that a person with a terminal illness would hate you for. Ultimately, the book reiterates that the side effects of cancer may not really be that at all, and in fact cancer is a side effect of dying and not the other way around.<br/><br/>As the words in print were thoughtfully written, so as the characters were thoughtfully created. To begin, Hazel Grace (or 'Just Hazel') is living with stage IV thyroid cancer, along with a problem with her lungs so that she always needs access to an oxygen tank to breathe properly. She is going along with life quite fine, claims she is not depressed but eventually is forced by her mother to attend a cancer support group at the local church, where she meets Gus. Of course there are other characters to mention which you will learn more about if you read the book, such as Hazel's other friend Isaac, the social worker Peter and the author of the book she loves so dearly; Peter Van Houten.<br/><br/>During the course of the novel we learn more of these people, their strengths, struggles and journeys through lives that are far from perfect and certain to end. They refuse to be defined by their illnesses, even if that is how they are seen to the outside world. Oblivion may be something to be feared but it is an inevitable fate that they know they will face one day.<br/><br/>The message to take however is that life goes on, and there are choices to be made that continue to define who we are and what lies ahead in the vast expanse of our lives.<br/><br/>""Some infinities are bigger than other infinities""</span>"

2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RDD5C27QXRNTV?ASIN=014242417X	Beautiful, Just Beautiful. Made My Heart Melt.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Books do not often bring tears to my eyes.  I have only ever shed tears for one other book in my reading career, and there weren't many tears.  The Fault in Our Stars caused me to cry like a freakin' baby in parts.  This book emitted such emotion through its wonderfully scripted words.  I listened to the audiobook version and am very torn as to whether this was a good decision or not.  I loved the audio track.  I thought that the narrator, Kate Rudd, did a fantastic job with bringing the story to life.  I do not regret listening to the audiobook whatsoever, but a part of me really wants to pick up the actual written word of the book and actually read it.  It was that good that I feel like I need to actually see and read the beautiful words.  I will read it someday.  How can I not?  It makes me sad that I will not have ""A Peek Inside"" for this book (because it's just too hard with audiobooks to get an exact quote), because there are so many beautiful and wonderfully crafted quotes from this book.  I guess you'll just have to trust me (and everyone else) and just read it and find the quotes for yourself.<br/><br/>The Fault in Our Stars is about a sixteen-year-old girl, Hazel Grace, who has cancer.  Terminal cancer.  She will die.  The reader is taken on part of her journey as she develops relationships with other kids with cancer, struggles with the emotional and physical side effects of cancer, and just tries to live every day life as best she can under the circumstances.  This boy she meets and ultimately falls in love with, Augustus Waters, is a fantastic character.  I love him and I love Hazel.  They are both amazing, as with all of the characters in this novel.<br/><br/>I cannot even begin to describe what a great book this is, with its beautiful writing, which includes a lot of sarcasm and humour along the way.  This is my first experience with a John Green novel and he has made me a huge fan.  All it took was this one book.  I cannot wait to read more of his books and I highly recommend that you give his words a try as well.  You won't regret it.</span>"

I especially appreciated the portrayal of two teenagers who embrace the beauty of language and think deeply about their circumstances. The dialogue between Hazel and Augustus is rich and often humorous.  The depiction of the cruelty of cancer is realistic and heartbreaking, yet the book never becomes maudlin.  I had one problem with the book, however.  The author doesn't seem to have any sense of how time zones work.  This mistake really irked me.  I suppose it is a small matter in an otherwise excellent book, but I had a hard time getting past it.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RUKD3AIDR9WBU?ASIN=014242417X	A Fantastic read that will make you cry, laugh, and smile	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">My Son's High School teacher had assigned their class a book to read a few weeks ago. Rest of the review is written by him.<br/><br/>Here he goes. ...........It could be any book of our choosing, as long as it was fiction. As a fan of John Green's Youtube channel, Vlogbrothers, I had decided to read his latest work, The Fault in Our Stars. I was pulled in the book within the first few chapters.<br/><br/>  The Fault in Our Stars is a story about a girl named Hazel Lancaster. She is 16 years old with terminal thyroid cancer, and is forced to carry around an oxygen tank and cannula wherever she goes to help her breathe. Her parents make her go to a Cancer Support group to help with her cancer. The Cancer Support group is a small group of about 10 children, all with some form of cancer. The support group is dull and uninteresting, until she meets a boy named Augustus Waters. Augustus suffered from Osteoarcoma (a type of bone cancer), and he now wears a prosthetic leg. Both of them fall for each other, and when Augustus decides to take Hazel to see ""V for Vendetta"", the plot unfolds into a story of Brobdingnagian proportions that will make a reader cry, laugh and smile.<br/><br/>  What I truly enjoyed about this book, is not only the plot, but the portrayal of teenage life, the quality of the English, and the realism. This Book is young adult literature, and when I had heard this was a love story, I (and an assuming reader) was expecting cheeky ""boycrushes"" (quoting another reviewer), lust, and breakup. However, I was in for something extraordinarily different when I saw Hazel and Augustus. She shows her intelligence with her words, her emotions with her struggle against cancer. ""This World is not a wish granting factory"" is a quote that saddened me when we learn about Augustus's cancer. Hazel is inquisitive and smart, just like Augustus; they contemplate life, purpose, philosophy unlike day-to day teenagers who can't imagine their situation.<br/><br/>  The message of the book is by far, a message that I will never forget. Augustus says that humans are always trying to leave a mark on this world, to be remembered after death, to do something memorable. However, he says something very different about Hazel. Hazel ""treads the earth lightly""; she doesn't care about the mark that she makes, and instead notices the small felicities of life, notices that her time on earth is short, and she must enjoy it to her fullest, not get caught up in making a mark in history, to try to be remembered. ""That is the real heroism in her"", says Augustus.<br/><br/>I hope everyone enjoyed this review, and will purchase The Fault in Our Stars. I will move on to John Green's first book, Looking for Alaska</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1YBHZF4NL1YRJ?ASIN=014242417X	I can relate	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">First off, after having sixteen surgeries, and spending much of my early life in a hospital, and now being a healthy high school guy. I never thought I would want to read a book about two teens who were medically flawed, like I am, and emotionally, well, teenagery.  However John Green hits the nail smack dab on the head. I was not only impressed by his accuracy of medical terms and devices that I share in common, but his accurate reflection of the teenager. Not all teens are just trying to slide along in high school, some think deeply, into what life is, and what to appreciate. With the witty, and flawed characters of Hazel and Gus green crafts a beautiful novel out of a terrible disease, much like hazel and Gus craft beautiful lives out of a terrible situation. One of my favorite books.</span>"

A great story and I highly recommend it to any young adult reader.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RXJX3BD8723DV?ASIN=014242417X	A heart-filled teenage love story, written for all ages	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">""I believe the universe wants to be noticed. I think the universe is improbably biased toward the consciousness, that it rewards intelligence in part because the universe enjoys its elegance being observed. And who am I, living in the middle of history, to tell the universe that it-or my observation of it-is temporary?"" -John Green (The Fault in our Stars)<br/><br/>This amazing story will bring you to tears. No matter if you never cry, or you rarely cry, you will cry when you read this. This is by far the most amazing book I, and many people I know, have ever read. Maybe it's because it's about cancer patients, and I spend a lot of time around them, or maybe it's just because John Green writes it in a way that you just have to fall in love with these characters. He writes them as such strong people and gives them a purpose in life.<br/><br/>The first time I read the book, I couldn't put it down. I read it in one day. It was that good. I had never been like that before, I could always put books down and continue them later, but I felt that if I put the book down, the characters would continue their story without me and I would miss something amazing. So I just read all night.<br/><br/>The connection you feel between yourself and the characters is something indescribable. You feel like you're right there with them, going through all the hard times and the feelings of love with them. It's a nice thing to read when your own life is a mess and you need an escape. You get that with this books, and even a few complimentary tears. If you haven't read this book, you are missing out on something amazing. You probably won't die if you never read this, but I couldn't imagine my life without this story. It helped me see things that I never saw before. And I thank John Green for writing this amazing story.</span>"

3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R35FSK8TA6C2FT?ASIN=014242417X	Smart, Funny, and Tragic!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">How do you judge a book that puts on full display all of your deepest worries and fears? You don't. Not really. All you can do is just sit back and let it move you and then try to accurately explain the experience. So here it goes: The Fault in Our Stars by John Green is brilliant and intelligent, but mostly, it's just honest.<br/><br/>There's something so... connected about The Fault in Our Stars. It makes you look at death in a realistic way, in a way that says this happens to everyone and will one day happen to you and how are you going to deal with it? Death is the one thing that connects every living thing. It doesn't matter who or what or where we are, we will die one day, no matter what. And it's sad and horrible, but, reading this book, death's not brushed over, it's not swept under the rug so we can have our fantasy of happily ever after, but it's also not as tragic as one would think. It's actually quite beautiful.<br/><br/>The funny thing about The Fault in Our Stars is that it's full of this suspense. Not knowing whether a character will succumb to their body's illness is possibly the most suspenseful suspense can get. And then adding the whole Peter Van Houten mystery and its just so much. All I wanted was for Hazel and Gus to meet this guy, a guy who I could care less about, but they were so enthusiastic about it they made me enthusiastic for them. I couldn't wait to see their reactions.<br/><br/>I have to say, in the beginning I was a little put off by some of the vocabulary used in this book. I mean, I have a pretty decent vocabulary, but there were times when I had to look up the definition of the words in the definition of the word I just looked up. Seriously! It's not a huge deal, but if I had to say one thing detracted from my enjoyment of the book, that was it, at least at first. It's something that grows on you as you read until eventually you can't imagine the book any other way. I'll say this though, John Green doesn't talk down to his readers. He expects them to keep up.<br/><br/>There's something so odd about this book, because, unlike the hundreds of other books I've loved and then tried to push on people, I don't want to push this one on anyone. It's like Green says in the book, some books give you an evangelical zeal while others make you wish that no one but you knew of them at all. And I think it's because the beauty of John Green's words will not be felt by all who read them. I know so many people who wouldn't have this book touch them the way it touched me and there's something so sad about that. It's like commenting on how beautiful the stars are and having the person you're with shrug and say, ""Yeah, sure."" It's like you're trying to share this piece of your soul with them and they can't see it. That might be a little bit dramatic, but it's how this book made me feel. It moved me in a way you can't always make other people understand. There are some things that are ruined when we try to share them with others. Some things that are better off kept to ourselves. The Fault in Our Stars is one of those things for me.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3T4Q56RMX6KIW?ASIN=014242417X	Unforgettable Story for Teens And Adults	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault In Our Stars is hard to describe because it has so many literary elements done so very very well. It is a very funny, very realistic, very sad story of three teenagers who are living with cancer. It's a story about having cancer, but is not the least bit sappy, and the usual cancer cliches (..is a fighter, gone to a better place, etc.) are only used, (very humorously) to illustrate how silly and not at all comforting these kinds of comments are. The three main characters are not perfect cancer fighting heroes, but they are heroes when they need to be. Mostly, they are very smart, very kind, normal teenagers who don't even bother wishing for a normal life because they know it is not going to happen until the cancer is conquered. Gus, Hazel and Isaac meet in a support group for teens with cancer. Even though none of them likes attending, they go in case someone in the groups needs them to be there and because it eases their parents grief and stress a little. They are also desperate for true, meaningful friendships. Their healthy friends, from pre-cancer days, are too disconnected from what is happening to them to be more than acquaintances. Of course in a realistic teen story, there needs to be romance. Gus, Hazel and Isaac recognize that in any relationship that includes cancer can not be a normal relationship. Not only might it be doomed, all three of the teens worry about the impact their possible death may have on someone who loves them. Thanks to John Green's outstanding writing, this too, is dealt with realistically, humorously, heart-breakingly, and compassionately. Every teenager (and adult) will love Isaac, Gus and Hazel and will love this book.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R27E6FOQOTDDB8?ASIN=014242417X	In A League Of Its Own	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I'm developing a terrible habit of only wanting to review books I find exceptional, which really defeats the purpose of writing book reviews.<br/><br/>John Green's The Fault In Our Stars definitely falls into the ""exceptional"" category. In fact, it's probably my new favorite book. A Tale of Two Cities has been my favorite book since I first picked it up four years ago in my tenth grade English class. For me, it's difficult to find a book that even comes close to Dickens' classic, but this book has done the impossible and dethroned A Tale of Two Cities.<br/><br/>Granted, the two books fall in very separate categories. If you aren't familiar with the story of ATOTC, I highly encourage you to pick it up, but this review will only focus on Green's novel.<br/><br/>To give a quick summary, the story focuses on Hazel Grace Lancaster, a sixteen-year-old girl battling terminal cancer. She forms a friendship and begins to fall in love with a fellow cancer survivor: Augustus Waters. The book follows their beautiful story as they bond over Peter Van Houten's An Imperial Affliction and struggle with a question that everyone can relate to: When I die, will I be remembered?<br/><br/>John Green is an absolutely brilliant writer. I'm familiar with Green from his famous YouTube videos, which made reading this book even more fun. I shouldn't be surprised I enjoyed this book so much - it spent seven consecutive weeks in the #1 spot of The New York Times Best Seller list for Children's Books (though it should be noted that I definitely would not call this a ""children's book""). The work is full of witty banter between the two main characters as well as touching moments that avoid being too cheesy. Green does an amazing job of creating characters that seem real. He doesn't paint a rosy picture of two heroic cancer survivors. He shows the characters at both their best and their worst, making them relatable to readers.<br/><br/>More impressively, I can honestly say there is not a dull moment in this book. I tend to put a book down at a dull point and pick it up later on so I don't get too bored. That was not necessary with this book. I read the whole thing in less than 24 hours. I laughed. I cried. And I wanted to throw this book at a wall. But I think those are emotions every reader feels when reading a truly great novel.<br/><br/>When I closed this book last night and tried to cope with the intense melancholy that was consuming me, I had a telling realization:<br/><br/>I felt like if I never had the chance to read a book again, I would be okay because I got to end with that one.<br/><br/>[...]</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1FIWNA4AFBLUS?ASIN=014242417X	Poignant Yet Honest	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Read this after a friend recommended it, and am glad I did so.  It tells a story about the poignancy of life without delving too deeply beyond the world of the here-and-now, in the way teenagers tend to live and view everything.  Thought it would end rather differently, and can't say I'm not a little disappointed by that - but, still, the story as a whole is truly touching and inadvertently gives hope to the reader that every moment does matter, and that life is too often taken for granted.  Definitely recommend the book to those who enjoy young-adult humor and cynicism.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2UV48P9W1V969?ASIN=014242417X	An absolute tear-jerker...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I'm not sure if I'm just a cry-baby or this book really has the power to pull every emotional string I have. It's an absolute tear-jerker and I'm glad that this is the first John Green book I've read. Not only has it tackled a situation being experienced in real life but it was given justice by the teen characters portraying the role. It feels like you're either Hazel Grace or Augustus Waters and you're actually in their shoes feeling and experiencing everything. You'll actually feel the enormity of the sufferings any cancer patient has to face fighting for their right to live. Some parts may tend to get boring especially if it is mostly conversations, but if you'll actually focus on the scenarios and put yourself into it you'll be just fine until the next big scene. I highly recommend this book to those people thinking that they have the biggest problem in the world or those who wanted to end their life because of its utter wretchedness. This book will made you think twice knowing someone out there is praying to have even an extra minute to live.</span>"

How can I properly review a book that touched me as deeply as The Fault in Our Stars did? I even considered making a special format purely for this book before I decided to stick with the tried and true.<br/><br/>Looking for Alaska was the only John Green book that I'd read before. And don't get me wrong. I loved it. It was beautifully written and literary and I think I summed it up with the word ""wow."" But it didn't touch me the way that The Fault in Our Stars did. I just- I don't know how to say it better than other people have said it already. That Jodi Picoult blurb on the front? 100% agree.<br/><br/>I had a favorite quote from this book that I think sums up how I felt about it: ""I fell in love the way you fall asleep: slowly, then all at once."" I was falling in love with this book- with Hazel, with Augustus Waters, with how they interpret and describe the world around them. And before I knew it, I was in. There was no getting out of how I felt about the book and the characters and it all culminated in about 100 pages of mascara running down my faces as I huddled in my bed with a tissue and this book.<br/><br/>I always vaguely want to thank authors for writing- because obviously I love to read. But I want to thank John Green for writing something that made me feel ALL THE THINGS.<br/><br/>Overall rating: 5/5.

I would have gotten it done sooner, but i had to work that day.<br/>Now for the real review.<br/><br/>When I began the book, I loved Hazel's character. Her sophisticated, massive vocabulary she bore impressed me. Also her love for America's Next Top Model added a little humorous side.<br/><br/>Augustus's character instantly made me love him.

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R167A7LITKYJ4L?ASIN=014242417X	Unforgettable	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Tears. The Fault in Our Stars produces many, many tears. I'm sure you've already heard this before, though. I know that almost every other book blog in existence has already reviewed The Fault in Our Stars, but I figured I'd give my two cents as well, anyway! Even though I haven't read any ""cancer books"", I know that The Fault in Our Stars is so much more than that. I was actually a smidge bit anxious going into The Fault in Our Stars because John Green is supposed to be this YA legend. He has such a huge fan base and so many readers adore him. In the past, I've read Looking for Alaska and while I thought it was good, it wasn't as amazing as I hoped it would be. With that said, The Fault in Our Stars turned me into another adoring reader of Green's. I don't think any other author has ever made me sob in the way that Mr. Green did, and for that, I applaud him.<br/><br/>Going into this book, I was pretty sure I knew what was going to happen. Bloggers were saying things along the lines of ""The Fault in Our Stars is one of the most heartbreaking books I've ever read!"" That can obviously only mean one thing, right? Wrong. Because I was so confident about my predictions, I didn't expect the unexpected. With that said, don't try and figure out what's going to happen. Why? Because The Fault in Our Stars isn't the type of book to keep guessing through. Just read it, indulge, and (silently, or in my case, deafeningly) weep.<br/><br/>What I liked the most about The Fault in Our Stars is that it felt so genuine. I didn't feel like I was reading a YA novel that was written by a 30 year old male (no offense, Mr. Green!) I felt like I was reading the true story of the exquisite Hazel Grace Lancaster and how she met her soul mate, Augustus Waters. Speaking of Augustus... can more people like him exist? Pretty please? Augustus is so unforgettable and will definitely stay in my heart forever as one of my favorite characters. You would think because I'm so obsessed with the main characters of The Fault in Our Stars, that I might not have enough room in my heart for any minor characters. WRONG, again! I pretty much fell in love with every character from The Fault in Our Stars besides Monica, even the characters I'm probably meant to dislike. They were just perfect, but flawed, but oh so perfect. I want to meet all of them.<br/><br/>I can't tell you how many pages of this book that I bookmarked (I could... but that would take a while.) I'm not the type of reader to mark my favorite pages or passages because nothing usually captures my attention enough to make me stop reading and do it. I made sure to do this with The Fault in Our Stars though. There's something about the way this book made me feel, that I know when I return to certain passages, the same feelings will return and it'll be amazing. This book just understood me. This was definitely a huge, gushy, choppy review, but I hope you've taken everything I just said into consideration.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R10B50Q7ZPFXLX?ASIN=014242417X	Tears, laughs and cancer	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Cancer. Everybody by now knows this disease by now. Many people die because of it, and a death is never a happy moment. But this book made it all seem so real, made me believe this story like I was the one living it, it made me wish there was a way to stop it from happening. I fell in love with the characters as well as the story, it was just too easy. I'm a sucker for happy endings and you should be warned this is not one of them, even so the book has so many funny parts and easy going characters that the sad ending doesn't feel like a sad ending. Hazel is a survivor and Gus a hero, and that's what makes them a fantastic couple. Everyone should see that not all ends happily, but that dopesn't mean it's not a good ending.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RW7POUBXTYB2N?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in Our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I'll start by saying that this is not John Green's best work even though it's his best selling work. Paper Towns is still by far my most loved Green novel and for good reason. This book, being just over 300 pages, was a fairly quick read since it only took me a little under two days to finish. That right there is testament that this book was NOT boring like some other reviewers mentioned. I'm trying to stick away from plot in this review so if you're looking for a synopsis please look elsewhere, this is more like a reflection back on the book. *SPOILERS AHEAD, READERS BEWARE* From the start, I expected Hazel to die. I banked on it. I would have bet money on it. Once we find out how An Imperial Affliction ended, I was positive TFiOS would end in the exact same way. Even after Augustus died, I still thought the book would end like that. Being a Cancer book, I was expecting either a happy, miracle ending, or something totally morbid and the fact that we got neither of that kind of upset me. I cried a couple times throughout the story but not once after Gus died. The ending lacked impact. The characters were as rounded out as YA characters generally go. The book was good. I even caught some Paper Towns references; about how you perceive a person actually describes you. If I ever find myself bored and bookless, and have already read my favorites shelf a couple of times through, I would pick this up again, much faster than I'd pick up, say, An Abundance of Kathrines.

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1JRPU006ZWE0U?ASIN=014242417X	I learned stuff, I felt stuff	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">From the title, you can guess that I'm not all that deep of a person. I generally like to read fiction as an escape. I don't like mean characters (hence, my dislike of most great literature). And I generally like happy endings.<br/><br/>This is a recipe for me not liking this book.<br/><br/>But oh my goodness this book was fantastic. The characters are prematurely mature - they quote things that most college students can't. And yet, it doesn't seem far fetched to me. It fits the mood of the book. The snappy, sarcastic, intellectual tones that lay over an emotional cauldron - first love, true love, and death.<br/><br/>There are so many intriguing sound-bite philosophies in this book: from time being a slut (people are forgotten after they die), to different kinds of infinities, to treading lightly vs heavily on the universe. Big, important concepts encapsulated in witty quotes by dying teenagers.<br/><br/>I absolutely loved every second of this book. I knew how it would end almost from the beginning, but it still didn't prepare me for the tragedy. And still, no regrets. It's a great book.</span>"

John Green's style of writing is fantastic, and I loved this novel's raw look at terminal illness. I can't claim to have any deep knowledge or experience with cancer and other terminal illnesses, but the writing made me feel these characters' struggles.

4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RS6CDI5IIB6WQ?ASIN=014242417X	Emotional, Touching Read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I'll be honest.  This review is going to be hard for me.  When a book affects me like this one, I normally add it to my mental list of favorites and vow never to write a review because I'll be too biased (by writing style or story) to be honest about the stuff I didn't like.  But it's the only Teen Top Ten nominee that I've read, and as a blogger and reviewer participating in the Teen Read Week Blog Tour, I feel kind of obligated to talk about it.<br/><br/>I borrowed this book from a friend who had to write an English paper on its symbolism.  It was full of highlights and underlines and a few marginal notes which were actually fun to read, except one which was a bit of a spoiler.<br/><br/>There's a reason this book was assigned for English class and then pretty much forced onto me by a student of that class.  This is a deep, thoughtful, make-you-think book full of the kind of quotes you find on decorated Pinterest images.  (The good kind, not the corny ones.)  The writing is alive and brilliant and pure genius.  The characters are so much more real than most found in even my favorite YA books of today.  The plot was perfect because it was imperfect - it was lifelike.  The lessons and symbolism and takeaway were so huge I feel like the thoughts it left me with were not even a drop in the bucket.<br/><br/>There were things I didn't like, too.  There were inappropriate scenes, language, and behavior I would not approve of.  But it's one of the very (very, very!) rare instances where that sort of no-go behavior in literature is passable in my mind.  Why?  It wasn't in the book just because they're teenagers, or it sells, or it's what everyone does, etc etc.  It was all a part of the character building (cynical, dying Hazel and perfect, trying-too-hard Augustus).  It was necessary to keep from breaking out of the POV voice.  And it tied with the symbolism and philosophy amazingly.<br/><br/>I am a highly opinionated person.  I'll admit that by today's definition I am very closed-minded.  I don't apologize for that.  So for an author to hold beliefs and write things into their stories that I don't feel are right, and still get my thumbs-up not just in a book-by-book basis but as a person and as a writer, that author would have to be really amazing and impressive and intelligent and a master at their craft.<br/><br/>John Green is most definitely all of the above.<br/><br/>I give this book 4.5 stars.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RUZUJK9G4ACSE?ASIN=014242417X	Nice because it was different	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was not spell binding, action packed, or lovey dovey.  It was a different but in a good way.  A book geared for the younger audience but the overall story line about 2 terminally ill teenagers finding each other and on a search for an recluse author was enough of a tease to keep me reading on, when it may have been what some others could have considered dry reading.</span>"

3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2RKQN2QBAJFSC?ASIN=014242417X	Almost Faultless	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">In Shakespeare's Julius Caesar one Roman nobleman says to another: ""The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars but in ourselves, that we are underlings."" John Green, in his little modern romantic epic, argues otherwise: There is plenty of fault in our stars.<br/><br/>A tragic teen romance with existential philosophy, in the hands of an amateur, is a terribly self-indulgent combination. But John Green, having spent ten years and hundreds of drafts to find his story, makes no mistakes.<br/><br/>Hazel is sixteen, with terminal cancer, when she meets handsome cancer-survivor Augustus at her Cancer Kid Support Group. Hazel is fascinated with a novel about cancer called `An Imperial Affliction'. But she is puzzled by the novel's ambigious ending. To find out what happens to the book characters, Augustus makes it possible for them to travel to Amsterdam, where the author lives. Along their journey to love they grapple with the questions: Is life fair? What is the point if it all ends - not just in reality but even, eventually, in memory?<br/><br/>While on the surface, a story about a girl dying of cancer may sound unappetizing YA reading, Green makes it funny, bold, insightful and irreverent. Hazel, Augustus and their friend Isaac play video games, go shopping, get drunk and wonder about kissing just like normal teenagers. They hate sympathy and being defined by their illness, even though their lives are circumscribed within their rapidly diminishing physical capacities.<br/><br/>Due to their medical condition, the teenagers are forced to grapple with the reality of their own temporariness and realize that being temporary does not mean being unimportant or meaningless; that forever can exist within numbered days. At one point, Gus says to Hazel, ""I'm in love with you, and I'm not in the business of denying myself the simple pleasure of saying true things. I'm in love with you, and I know that love is just a shout into the void, and that oblivion is inevitable, and that we're all doomed and that there will come a day when all our labor has been returned to dust, and I know the sun will swallow the only earth we'll ever have, and I am in love with you.""<br/><br/>As author John Green explained to a reader: ""Every single human being alive on the entire planet is going to die, including you. The question for me is not why we die; the question is what constitutes a full and well-lived life. I wanted to argue that a good life need not be a long one.""</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RVBEQHXDX2A0W?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in Our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Some bits before I starts my review:  1. I do not, as a rule, read YA books.  They usually don't appeal to me.  2.  I read this because I religiously watch John Green and Hank Green's YouTube stuff religiously.<br/><br/>TFiOS is about a teenager named Hazel who has a friend (pretentiously) named Augustus who becomes her boyfriend.  Through Hazel Gus becomes obsessed with an awful sounding book called An Imperial Affliction and it's reclusive author (who sounds like the love child of John Green and J.D. Salinger, but who I think is a weird stand in for God and Cancer).<br/><br/>I have a couple issues with this book:<br/><br/>It's a little pretentious.  His prose becomes a little too much once in a while.  I don't think *most* kids speak like this, or rather, they don't choose the words Green chose.  Hazel and Gus seem smart, almost too smart.<br/><br/>I disliked the ending, though I knew from the start what the ending would be.<br/><br/>These are really small complaints.<br/><br/>All in all, worth the read.<br/><br/>I'd love it if he wrote stuff for adults.  I think he'd be very good at it.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3RETMO2SUFEKN?ASIN=014242417X	Green is obviously not a teenager.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">In the first few pages, as Green described Hazel, I wanted to stop reading. Let's be real, who watches ANTM?! No one does anymore - especially teenage girls. It has become a thing of the past. It's a hit and miss for me. It did a fine job of tugging at heart strings, and in developing the character of Augustus. He felt real, he felt right, and he was the true protagonist of this novel. Hazel was okay, for a character written by a man. It is obvious that he does not know teenage girls, and being one, it is easy to see these flaws and not accept anything but perfect. However, compared to Looking for Alaska, this novel is leaps and bounds better. It is actually realistic, the characters are actually likeable and believable to an extent. The whole Peter Van Houten plot line with his crying secretary needed to go. While reading, I thought ""Is this real? Did someone give me a fake copy?"" It was completely unnecessary, and detracted from the plot. However, overall, it was right on the line between good and bearable for me.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2DCSXMLYIZN0O?ASIN=014242417X	A little conflicted	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">For months I've heard from a lot of my friends that I need to read this book. The truth is that when I first saw it I wasn't interested in reading it because I didn't like the cover. Then when I read the blurb I really didn't want to read it. It sounded too depressing. But the urging of a close friend got me to cave and I finally read the book.<br/>It's hard to articulate my feelings about this book. There were some things that I absolutely loved and some things I didn't love as much as I wanted to.<br/>So I think the best way for me to do this is to break my review into two lists:<br/>Pros: Augustus. Seriously, he was the best part of this book. The perfect swoon-worthy hero. He was witty, sarcastic, cute. I loved him. Hazel. She was hard for me to connect with at first, but as I got to know her she grew on me. Also, I saw a lot of growth in her throughout the book and I liked that. Hazel's parents. I liked them. The way they dealt with her illness seemed very real to me. I also enjoyed her conversations with her dad and how he got her to see things differently. I loved the romance between Hazel and Augustus. It was beautiful. An Imperial Affliction. Since I love reading and I'm addicted to books, I enjoyed the significance reading and books took in this novel. I felt like the book that Augustus and Hazel read had so much symbolism and I learned a lot about the characters through their conversations about the book.<br/>Cons: Reading is something I do for an escape. I like books with happy endings and books that make me feel good. I know that isn't realistic and that's not life, but that's what I like about books. They are fiction. Life is ugly and messy and scary, and when I read I want to escape all of that. This book was not an escape. It brought all of the ugliness of life to the forefront. Also, this book was hard for me to read. I don't like thinking about death and this book makes you think about it.  A lot. Not only just death, but death of kids and that's even scarier.<br/>With all that being said, good books make you think. They bring up emotions and raise questions. This book did that. And John Green's writing style was great. I did enjoy this story even if it made me cry ugly tears (which I hate to do).</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2E7WKSH88TA2I?ASIN=014242417X	Read the Book Before the Movie	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This was a great book with lots of ups and downs.  There is a reason as to why they are making a movie out of this book.  You will laugh, cry, and all the in between.  Although the plot is not as in depth as I typically like it's a young adult novel so it's great for your high schooler.  For the adult reading this book, bring it to the beach and you'll be done in one afternoon. And you won't regret a second of it.</span>"

3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/REYHH3FNX4TW1?ASIN=014242417X	Wonderful novel	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I devoured this book in 5 hours and would have finished it sooner if it weren't for everyday tasks, such as eating, getting in the way. I became so engrossed in the lives of Hazel and Augustus that I didn't  want to put the book down. Green's realistic portrayal of cancer and the effect it has not only on loved ones but patients is refreshing. Green was able to take what could have been an unconvincing teenage love story and turn it into an unflinchingly accurate story of love, loss and acceptance while simultaneously making the reader not only sympathize but relate to the two protagonists.</span>"

Pfft, I can't believe people would say this is sad.<br/><br/>Page 30: Ok, things are getting deeper.<br/><br/>Page 100: I think we all know where this is going.<br/><br/>Page 150: Hmm...seems okay so far. Some emotional wreckage, but nothing too serious.<br/><br/>Page 230: I hate all life. And this isn't fair. Why why why why???<br/><br/>Page 250: Oh, God.<br/><br/>I could go on. But I figure that is enough.<br/><br/> There were many moments where I was laughing/crying at the same time...in school. It was horrid, guys.<br/><br/>My list of good things:<br/><br/>- Let's LOL together. Like I have mentioned above, this is out laugh out funny. No joke. To name a quote:<br/><br/>""I told Augustus the broad outline of my miracle: diagnosed with Stage IV thyroid cancer when I was thirteen. (I didn't tell him that the diagnosis came three months after I got my first period. Like: Congratulations! You're a woman. Now die.)""<br/><br/>-Totally emotional. This is an emotional roller-coaster, if you're into that thing. Which I definitely am.<br/><br/>-Beautiful writing. Every page I devoured, thanks to the writing( and perhaps 20 different other things.)<br/><br/>-Quotable. This goes along with the beautiful writing, but this book is totally quotable. I usually never notice these types of things. I noticed in this book. I just wanted to highlight 3/4 of this book.<br/><br/>-Does not sugar-coat things. This is reality, this book. It holds true meaning throughout it. Green obviously doesn't hold back, when it comes to these things...maybe that is why it is very emotional.<br/><br/>-Amazing characters. This helps make this book hilarious. I mean, the characters are mostly hilarious throughout, and they also were a huge part why I enjoyed this book so.<br/><br/>-Very re-readable. You guys. Usually, after I finish a book, I'm like, never gonna read this again. Not this book. In fact, I plan on re-reading it right about...now, maybe?<br/><br/>My list of bad things:<br/><br/>-Obvious plot line. I have to admit that from page one, I knew how it ended. It still didn't lessen the blow. Also, it didn't ruin the book for me, which is pretty surprising.<br/><br/>-Too sad. This doesn't apply to me, since things are never too sad( unless you kill off all the people I like.). Perhaps, though, you despise every sad book...yeah, not for you.<br/><br/>-Very John Green-like-Ok, I'm judging majorly off of reviews. But I couldn't think of any other bad things. Don't judge me.<br/><br/>All in all, this book was truly amazing. And though I have heard it is like a very typical cancer book, I don't care. Because of the writing, because of the characters, because of the sadness that will linger within my heart forever...I do not know. Probably all those things together is what did it for me. I had average expectations for this book because it seemed like a contemporary, but it seriously did soar over my expectations. Way, way over.<br/><br/>My favorite quote:<br/><br/>""People will say it's sad that she leaves a lesser scar, that fewer remember her, that she was loved deeply but not widely. But it's not sad, Van Houten. It's triumphant. It's heroic. Isn't that the real heroism?""</span>"

It's the first I've read of Green's so I can't compare it to his previous work. Some reviews have said it's not as good. If that's the case then I can't wait to read more by him because his other books must be amazing. One common criticism of this book is that Hazel and Augustus don't talk like real teenagers. Maybe they don't talk like MOST teenagers but I definitely know a few overly angsty teenagers that talk similarly that I was reminded of while reading this book. It was actually the plot line concerning the author of Hazel's favorite book that I found unrealistic and the reason why this is a four star review instead of five.</span>"

The story is triumphant and so very sad. Hazel and Gus together is the silver lining. Their love story is innocent and beautiful and ancient all at once. Gus is such utter sunshine. I loved his character. Hazel is sharp and wise. She is a beauty lacking vanity and when she allows herself to live and love- her strength and own light shines brightly.<br/>Green's writing is incredibly approachable and so very good. This book feels important and necessary to experience-even when faced with the pain and tears it evokes. I initially put it down because I was crying, so early, too early already I thought. But I'm so glad I had the courage to pick it up again.</span>"

4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2KFH1WXUCMVWR?ASIN=014242417X	Glad I stuck with it	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">At first, the lead characters' lexicon was annoying; too affected, too aloof, too world-weary, and too many one-word sentences. But then two things happened: 1. I realized that all teenagers have a language of their own that us geezers frequently find, like, annoying, and 2. I talked with a nurse who works with terminally ill kids and she told me most of them are wise beyond their years. So I stuck with it, and it paid off. Yes, there's a lot of dorm-room philosophizing, but the ring of truth still comes through, and the writer has plenty of tricks up his sleeve to keep the reader engaged. If you read it, keep in mind that it's written for teens and judge accordingly.</span>"

4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1L2D7C9TQ544Q?ASIN=014242417X	Not feeling the Waterworks...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is not going to be one of those reviews where I tell you how much this book made me sob like a baby, or how much it tore my heart out. Why? Because this book didn't do that to me. I wanted it to, and it did...to some extent. But honestly? It was kind of a let down from my high expectations. I really don't know what to think. This book was good...but then...and there was this...and GAH. The whole book reading experience was like WHAT AM I FEELING? I just don't know. But I shall attempt to sort these feelings out, so this resembles a review...sorta.<br/><br/>For starters, if you know anything about this book, let it be that the characters are brains. Hazel and Gus have some pretty knowledgeable conversations. And there is nothing wrong with that, but maybe I was looking for more depth, but I felt like there were times when it got a little too...info dumpy. Yes, you are smart John, we watch you on YouTube, but maybe cut it back? It wasn't terrible at all, but I wasn't looking to read lots of info. I wanted the emotions. That's one of the things where it started to go wrong for me.<br/><br/>Because of instances like this, where we had more talk, I didn't feel all the depth I would expect. As this book progressed, my emotions weren't really on this roller coaster I thought they would be. Sure I was hooked, and intrigued, but it was all flat. In a way I was just reading to see what all the popular fuss was about. I was constantly asking myself, how do I feel about this? But that was the problem. I didn't know, because I WASN'T feeling. I'm probably sticking out like a sore thumb here, because like every other person on the planet felt and bawled and blagh.<br/><br/>So just to set you straight, the end did get to me. I didn't bawl, but on a few precise, probably obvious moments, I teared up and sniffled. But I didn't sniffle and ugly cry at all. Only one other book has come close to the ugly-crying I thought I'd experience with this book. So yeah...that was a bummer. I WANTED AN UGLY CRY BOOK. I freely admit this. I went into it with that expectation. Heck, I love cry books and movies. I embrace them when I find the true gems. Those are the ones that make me feel. But this one?<br/><br/>Yeah it's kinda sad. But moving on.There were some things I really liked about this book though. For one thing, our characters Hazel and Augustus are incredibly strong. Hazel has a beautiful voice that stands out. She is a totally honest character. So is Gus. They don't waste time, they speak their mind and I loved how they weren't just weak whiny children because of their limitations. They don't let things stop them, and they live life the best they can.<br/><br/>Speaking of them. Let's talk romance. This was kinda hilarious actually. Because they hit it off with a boom. They meet. Gus just comes right up to her, they kinda hit it off as if they already know each other and then boom, it's like the beginnings of their friendship/romance. It's not like insta-love or anything. It was just interesting to see how easily they hit it off. But I'm leaving that there, without a negative or positive thought. Because I really don't know what to say. It works, but does it feel legit? SEE MY INTERNAL DILEMMAS?!?!  *sigh* So the romance. I loved them together. I think they worked so well. The friendship that they build worked really well and felt as if they'd known each other for years. So when they get to that awkward in between stage it just worked. I loved them. I LOVED Gus. Okay yeah, I have to say something about Gus. EEEEEEK. I really liked him, despite some of the things that didn't work for me. He is snarky, funny, charming, polite, and just one of those guys you don't want to let go. And that's where it hurts.<br/><br/>Which brings me to my thoughts on the issues portrayed and discussed in this book. Obviously, cancer, and the hardships/struggles, whatnot. Hazel obviously knows that her condition is terminal and that life could be as short as the next breath. So she's trying to make the most of the rest of her time.<br/><br/>I'm sorry. I had to put this in here.<br/>But you know...honestly? I'd heard of so many issues and things being presented..but I must have failed to see them or something. Because I got the nice quotes, but the underlying themes? Not so much. I know I'm so stinking blind. Wow. I don't even know what to say anymore. I appreciated the lessons and courageous things portrayed, but we're back to the lack of emotion.<br/><br/>I'm gonna shut up now. I'm sorry for this insanely long brain vomit. But honestly..this was my thought process. I missed some level of connection that would have made this book so much more important to me. This is the the worst case of Black Sheepitis ever. So while I missed that, I'm not going to push it aside, because as mentioned, there were some very redeeming qualities about the book. I enjoyed reading it, and think it told a lovely story that is easy to enjoy. However, in my place, my nit picky brain just got in the way.<br/><br/>Content: Moderate<br/>[some languange including uses of S word and one of F word.

4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RHS2V28FWU8S3?ASIN=014242417X	A wonderful book!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">TFiOS was a very good book. As someone who wants to work in pediatric cancer medicine, I found this book gave a glimpse into the psyche of a cancer person. It was very sad at times, but a lot of Green's humor was a refreshing break from the sadness. My only complaint was the ending; I found it a touch ambiguous.This is the first book of Green's that I have read (after being a longtime nerdfighter, a fan of the vlogbrothers on YouTube)and I look forward to reading more of his books! I think ""Looking For Alaska"" is my next step. DFTBA and read TFiOS!</span>"

4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R25Y1H7L5ZHX88?ASIN=014242417X	The fault in their age	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">- MAJOR SPOILERS -<br/><br/>If I could, I would give this book about 3.5 stars. I guess my problem was that my expectations were through the roof, and to a good extent, it did fullfil them. It's definitely a page turner, as I finished it in pretty much two sittings, but I did have some minor issues that made it so the book didn't WOW me.<br/><br/>First of all and most importantly, these are teenage KIDS. The way they spoke was, in some instances, well above how I've ever spoken to someone (I'm 25). I get it that Augustus and Hazel are real sophisticated and philosophical, but this level of dialogue is far from realistic.<br/><br/>And, in relation to that, I felt like they handled the entire situation a little too well. Sure, they're used to dealing with hospitals, cancer situations, etc.. but at such a young age, you would think these two wouldn't be as emotionally ready for these situations. But, as a person that has never gone through cancer, I suppose I can't really speak on how to deal with death. Green did a good job expressing how much of a draining process their lives were... But why did they completely skip over Hazel's speech at Gus' funeral?<br/><br/>With that said, I really did enjoy this book and would recommend it to friends. I really liked the parents in the story, and felt that the way they responded to Hazel was very genuine. I loved the ending that Hazel's mom got, and I loved how much Hazel cared about what their parents would turn into.<br/><br/>The best scenes in the book were still the ones with Van Houten, and his character was perfectly written. (Hilarious!) The Amsterdam scenes in general were probably my favorites, and the trip up the stairs at the Anne Frank museum was a little tense for me, thinking Hazel's lungs were going to collapse at any moment (which was pretty much in the back of my mind for all 313 pages).<br/><br/>The ending was very touching, and Hazel's fate was somewhat of a nod to An Imperial Affliction's ending, but like the story suggests, we already knew what was going to happen to her, and I'm glad it was done the way it was, otherwise it would've bordered on emotional overkill (no pun intended).<br/><br/>Overall, very emotional book, with two slightly unrealistic children speaking like 30 year old Harvard grads. Still, setting that aside, I loved Hazel, and I loved her personality.<br/><br/>Also, on a completely random note, does anyone that watches Bates Motel think that Emma is based on Hazel. I immediately made the connection physically and characteristically and pictured Emma throughout the entire story.</span>"

This book is very clever from the moment Hazel and Augustus Waters meet each other at the cancer support group you will be hooked. This is a rollercoaster of emotions, lots of sad parts and lots of funny weirdness too. Kind of like real life.Could really see the characters in my head like they were real.Love how the teenaged characters are not just angsty and weird, they think about deep things and plan picnics for each other and have really deep conversations. They are strong and love each other for better or worse, the way some adults can't even do. It is very cute some of the things they do because they are kids. Like gus , calls hazel hazel grace and sometimes has an unlit cigarette hanging out of his mouth. And hazel likes to give differant household objects human names.I liked the referance to V for Vendetta. I didn't know teenagers still watched that movie, Its comforting to know.I hope I am lucky to have a love half this awesome at some point in my life.It probably won't happen but would be nice.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1SCKLYKJKA64V?ASIN=014242417X	Heart retching, but good	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I don't typically read books that are sad and depressing.  I wanted to read this one because of all the great reviews. This is a good book with great characters, but it will be awhile before I read this one again.  The story pulled me in and I love when a book does that.  Be ready with some tissues though.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RC26YUC1THWU5?ASIN=014242417X	An inspiring read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The principal characters of ` The Fault in our Stars`  are cancer stricken teenagers whose lives revolve around chemo sessions and ICU-stays, rather than shopping malls and dance-clubs.  In spite of the grim prognosis for the teenagers the book is a pleasant read.<br/><br/>The story of youthful love, and the accompanying teenage angst told in the intimate tone of a personal diary makes for a cheerful book. And, just as well, because the book celebrates the life of Esther Grace who in real-life lived her days to the fullest even as the blighted clock ticked down cruelly.<br/><br/>As a story that celebrates the victims' determination to fight and, in the limited time, leave behind a legacy that inspires others, the novel does indeed hit the mark.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1OEO1FGU2CGLF?ASIN=014242417X	Emotional, well-told, but a little overcooked	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I waited a long time to read this book because it's about kids with cancer, and because I spend a lot of hours in the hospital as part of my job, I typically turn to fiction for an escape. But this book got so many awards, so many stellar reviews, so many accolades, I finally broke down and bought it. And to sum up, I liked it, but didn't love it.<br/><br/>The first third of the book was hard for me to get into. I found Augustus grating in a way I can't quite describe, but I'm pretty sure it has something to do with the ridiculously advanced, metaphorical way he speaks (the way all the kids in this book speak, really). I know John Green has said it's something like a grievous sin to talk down to kids in YA literature, and I completely agree with this, but I had to reread quite a few passages to get the gist of what these people were actually talking about. These were not realistic characters, and if Green was going for a lofty series of metaphors rather than real-life experience, than he succeeded. I just found myself constantly yearning for a normal teen. Smart, sure - I love smart, nerdy, overly linguistic teens - but I wish the dialogue and literary ruminations hadn't been so over-the-top.<br/><br/>As the story went on, though, it got better. I very much enjoyed the ending, though of course it was sad (this is a cancer book - it's going to be sad). I liked the brutal honesty with which the author and his characters approached such a merciless disease. It made me think about my own mortality; it made me question my own place in this world.  I really felt for Hazel and Gus, but their families' stories were in some ways just as compelling.<br/><br/>I would recommend this book for its emotional resonance, but perhaps not for the realistic depiction of teenagers. That said, the way with which John Green navigates humor and tragedy in the context of such heavy subject matter deeply impressed me.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R9J6P82LS3KP3?ASIN=014242417X	Disappointed but Satisfied	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault In Our Stars by John Green was a book that had been highly recommended and praised by friends, adults, and strangers (thanks Time!). However as soon as I completed reading the book within a mere day, I found myself torn between somewhat satisfied and deeply disappointed.<br/><br/>The plot resembled that of a modern Romeo and Juliet, but in Green's world, thankfully, both lovers do not commit suicide over each other. Rather, he presents a Hemingway alternative, and allows nature - the big C in this case, to essentially rob Augustus (Romeo) from Hazel Grace (Juliet). Green does an impeccable job in hiding such twist prior to the climax by characterizing Hazel Grace as the depressed, 16 year old cancer patient only living day to day for her parent's sake. And like many other disappointingly fairytales, here comes Augustus, her knight in shining armor, to save her from the depths of apathy and to explore the world, or the little part of Indianapolis and to a certain extent, Amsterdam, together - borderline fantasy. While I experienced a broad spectrum of emotions, from crying to laughing, I was highly irritated by the obvious, overwhelming amount of foreshadowing chapter after chapter that indicated the death of Augustus - the climax. I was totally expecting it and thus, failed to sob as hard as I imagined when the time came.<br/><br/>In contrast, I commend Green for demonstrating romance without the ick and goo so prevalent in young couples and thus, not solely focusing on the power of love so prevalent in romance novels. Rather it resonated the simple fact that life goes beyond infatuation and love; it emphasizes living and its expiration date (""Nothing Gold Can Stay""). It was easy to find myself connecting to the intimate conversations between the couple, whether the sarcastic, witty comments, or their mature outlook on existence and survival.<br/>Overall, it was a semi-memorable book worth reading; however, for those looking for greater depth and meaning, do not expect if to be a favorite.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RN2GOG2783ID7?ASIN=014242417X	Sucked me in	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">It took me several chapters to get into the dialogue  and style the main characters used when speaking. It felt a bit contrived, but once I got into the lingo of the main characters the story moved. The book is very engaging and Green introduces numerous themes throughout the book. The plot is very simple, and character development focuses only on two individuals, but the story held my interest and I found it difficult to put the book down.</span>"

3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3ANYERQOG6G4O?ASIN=014242417X	Beautiful but Heartbreaking	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars is the achingly beautiful story of 16 year old cancer survivor, Hazel Grace Lancaster. Hazel was diagnosed with Stage IV thyroid cancer at 13 but has exceeded her life expectancy with the help of an oxygen tank and experimental drugs. When her mother suspects that Hazel is succumbing to depression she urges her to join a Cancer Support Group. While at support group she meets Augustus Waters who is gorgeous and hopelessly smitten with Hazel. What follows is a moving story of growth, sacrifice and loss. Hazel and Augustus are two of my favorite fictional characters. They are witty, brave and selfless. I highly recommend this book. Another fine novel from John Green!</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1MBBOZV72M9I5?ASIN=014242417X	Not What I Expected	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">When I found out this was a book about kids with cancer, I settled myself in for a long and painful read. But I found myself pleasantly surprised.<br/><br/>This is not a book about a cancer patient's brave struggle. This is a book about a girl named Hazel and a boy named Gus.<br/><br/>A thoughtful and honest tale. Thank you, John Green.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1NSYOXGQBVPFS?ASIN=014242417X	great!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Although I am only 12, this book for me was inspiring. Hazel is a strong character that has even stronger opinions. She taught me that you do not have to leave a mark on the world, but that you recognize the importance of what you have. It doesn't matter if you get to be famous, or legendary, because you have already left a mark on the people around you.<br/><br/>Augustus taught me that you should always dream. Always leave some sort of legacy. Because a life without dreams must be almost lonely.<br/><br/>This book shares great point of views on things either big or small. In all it is a fabulous book that can change the ways you look at things. I think it was a great read and should be read by many more people.</span>"

4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1DWRRQ79VY67C?ASIN=014242417X	Well Written, But Seemed to Have An Agenda	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I am a thirty-something woman who enjoys the occasional young adult novel!  I found this book well-written and gripping, but I was a little taken back by the push of a worldview that says that only idiots believe in God.  I felt like John Green pushed his point throughout the book that if you are intelligent, you can't possibly believe in God.  That pretty much ruined what was an excellent book otherwise.  I do consider myself well-read, intelligent, thoughtful, and a believer in God.  I think it's pretentious to depict people who believe in God as idiots who need to be soothed by platitudes, as John Green does in this book.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RAQ8ZQU5H15I4?ASIN=014242417X	Deliciously heart wrenching and hilarious.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Who knew that depressing and funny could be woven together so seamlessly and beautifully? Well, I didn't quite realize it until I started reading this awesome book by John Green. Hazel has this dry humor that I love, and Augustus is witty and blunt--it really does make for a sweet combo.<br/>  I really flew through this one and loved most everything about it. I enjoyed how sweet relationship between Hazel and Gus, plus their friendship with Isaac. The conversations were so realistic, and made me laugh. Both Hazel and Gus' parents were every kind of amazing and involved. I loved the side quest with the author Houten. He was hateful and disappointing but inspiring somehow all at the same time. The characters are amazingly flawed and maybe that is what made me love it.<br/>  It was very down at times but that made it all the more realistic... It is about kids dying and fighting cancer, and cancer sucks. And let's face it, life sucks sometimes too. And Green embraces that through his writing.<br/>  I really don't have a lot to add except that it is powerful and I recommend it. There are so many glowing reviews, well deserved.<br/>Bottom Line: Deliciously heart wrenching and hilarious.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2KWQ67GSCQQOJ?ASIN=014242417X	Written with the sensitive, heartbreaking movie in mind	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">First things, first.  I'm not an established fan of John Green.  Just a reader who bought the book on the recommendation of all the excited reviews.  Read it in a day, and I liked it.  Appreciated the writer's craft a bit more than the story.<br/><br/>There's not a ton of story here.  Two sick kids enjoy a meaningful transformative romance, adding more depth to their doomed lives.  Tragic, pretty, honest, moving.  Not a ton of surprises.<br/><br/>John Green is a talented writer.  You'll enjoy the author's craft.  As most chapters ended, I found myself thinking, ""Well done, John."" He did an excellent job choosing words, creating rhythm, evoking emotion.  He captured both Amsterdam and Indianapolis (the two settings for the story) very well.  He makes you feel both the hope and the fear, mixing constantly on nearly every page.<br/><br/>The age of the characters felt about three years off.  Instead of 16/17, they should have been 20. In fact, the author makes a point of making the teenage narrator an academically-advanced college student, although we never quite understand why she's taking classes. It was almost as if the author was apologizing to us for having to make these characters four years younger than they should have been. Or, perhaps the author likes using college education as a hope mechanism.<br/><br/>The author's portrayal of the perspective of young people with cancer felt incredibly authentic.  Every cynical view felt real.  The book holds you accountable for every dumb thing you've ever said, thought, or assumed about kids with cancer.  Hazel's use of her ""sick kid with cancer's Wish"" was brilliant.<br/><br/>If I had one criticism, it's the same one I had after reading PERKS OF BEING A WALLFLOWER.  The book feels written for the inevitable movie.  The teenage romance at the center of the story is very sweet, and of course, the author makes you love the object of the narrator's affection.  Why Augustus had to be ""hot"" escapes me (do we feel more sorry for good looking kids with cancer?).  I guess it's a Team Edward thing... a tragic teenage boy with a hot body resonates more?  Nothing difficult to film here - funny scenes, emotional moments, flawed-yet-noble parents, supporting characters with funny lines, and lots of dialogue that will easily transfer to the screen.  I suppose that's what most writers have in mind these days.  Augustus will make a lovely launching point for the next Zac Efron - every young actor is going to want to be the hot, cool, sensitive, poetic boy with cancer. The young male actor who nails the Isaac role will also do well as the funny, not-as-hot-as-the-main-actor actor. Agents' careers will be made and ruined according to who lands these roles. (Note to young actress, Shailene Woodley - please go more Jennifer Lawrence than Kristen Stewart in this role if you want to stand up next to your inevitably glowing co-star.)<br/><br/>Oh yeah, back to the book. My advice is that it's a good read. Hardly my favorite of the year, but a good use of a lazy Saturday.  You'll feel more sensitive for having read it, you'll appreciate good writing, and you'll look forward to the soundtrack.  Personally, I look forward to the day John Green writes a more audacious adult story without an eye so keenly trained on the film option.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2KQQINIF3PC20?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in Our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I'd been hearing a lot of good things about this book - I thought it was be profound, transformative and very deep given the subject - two teens who fall in love while battling cancer. I know, I know depressing. But I thought it would give me a refreshing, life-altering perspective.<br/><br/>Once read...well...it was a disappointment. Though others said they cried all over their Ipad (or Nook, or Kindle or good old-fashioned page) I didn't shed a tear while reading this book. I kept waiting to cry, waiting to feel but...nothing. And I'm pregnant and hormonal, so what does that tell you?!<br/><br/>I think the problem was I couldn't connect to the characters. They speak in really obtuse voices - kind of like the way the kids of Dawson's Creek used to sound - insightful, intelligent but totally not true to life (or their ages!) There is humor but it's sardonic and you just feel like their whole schpeel is fake. Kit Steinkelner of Book Riot agrees with me and I'll include her review here (scroll all the way down for it) because we had almost identical reactions. What about the romance, you ask? I read enough Lurlene McDaniel growing up. And quite frankly, she did it better.</span>"

4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R19NMEVONK9LZ9?ASIN=014242417X	Tried too hard to be a tear-jerker for me....sorry!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Three stars, despite the fact that John Green is probably the best YA author that ever lived. The Fault in Our Stars involves kids with cancer, so in the author's defense, it is near to impossible to write a 'kids with cancer' story without an overdose of sentimentality that borders on the sicky-sweet. Such is the case here with our two cancer-victim teens who fall in love. About the only thing you're left with is who is going to pass away first? Flip a coin. The characters were a tad too adult for hormonal teenagers, the story line a tad too predictable. Perhaps I'm being too harsh, but I finished the book and then redeemed Mr. Green by re-reading Looking for Alaska, on of the best YA books ever written, in my opinion.  Your mileage may vary, of course, and given the number of 5 star reviews for this book, I fully admit I am in the minority.  Oh well, there's a butt for every saddle, right?  This saddle just didn't fit mine.  ;)</span>"

I hesitated to read it, afraid it would be too sad and depressing.  But I was pleasantly surprised and couldn't put it down.

Definitely recommend this book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RNEP9HROKZ4RS?ASIN=014242417X	95% Amazing, 5% Not Quite There (I didn't cry)	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I just finished this book and I thought it was very well done.  It was my second John Green novel (the first being Paper Towns, next I want to read Looking For Alaska).  While John Green is a great person and an amazing writer, at times I feel that he gets a bit too wrapped up in the symbolic and deeper meaning he puts in his books.  The great ""classics"" with symbolic and metaphoric meaning, insert their ideas effortlessly (usually) and their characters hardly ever break ""the 4th wall"" to make a point, at times with John Green's books I feel like the characters step out of the story to talk about a new insight they had on life which turns into poetry which pulls them (and me the reader) even more out of the story and the character.  Also, people hardly ever come up with poetic metaphors for life's pleasures and pains - especially 16 and 17 year old teenagers.  Still, his metaphores do make me reflect on his words which is kind of rare in most YA fiction.<br/><br/>Its a rather quick read, but not a gripping page-turner, which I have to say is my favorite part of this book.  I really loved the simplicity of the story - nothing earthshatteringly surprising, you-didn't-see-that-coming happens, but even though it's simple, it keeps you hooked and wanting to continue.  The charactes, while not the roundest, most complex I've ever read, had a simple charm that made them likable.  I do agree with other revies saying that the characters weren't totally believable.  Like I said earlier, teenagers are certainly not that poetic or so seemingly ""perfect.""<br/><br/>I can't address the cancer subject matter - I don't know much about it.<br/><br/>I can't really pin down what made this a 4 star book and not a 5 star one.  I'll just say it this way - I didn't cry at the end.  I cry at anything sad in movies or books, but at the end of this book I didn't feel like I needed to cry.  I found it sad and poignent, but something prevented me from really crying like a lot of people seem to be saying.  I don't know why the book didn't move me to tears, but whatever it was, that's why it gets 4 stars.<br/><br/>Certainly one of the best books for YA out there right now, but not quite 5 stars for me.  I love John Green, love this book, and his writing is extrodinary, so I'm certainly glad to own a copy.  A very solid 4 stars and I'd reccommend TFIOS to anyone and everyone!</span>"

4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R313JPURXGUGDH?ASIN=014242417X	One of those books	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Although this book has a stereotypical teenage romance story, The Fault in Our Stars shines with its uniqueness as it allows us to go on an adventure with two love struck cancer patients as they make the reader ponder the meaning behind life.<br/><br/>Hazel Grace wanted to keep the people she'd hurt when the cancer inevitably took her life to a minimum. She and Augustus do fall in love. That's given away when you read the summary of the book. What wasn't expected was the tragedy that strikes these two, leaving one of these love struck characters to ponder the meaning of life with their lonesome.<br/><br/>The one down side to this novel is the predictable aspect it has with the love story in it. From the beginning we know that Hazel Grace and Augustus Waters are going to end up falling in love. The thing about this novel is that Green tells this love story in such an interesting and unique way. He's able to paint the scenes in your head and the conversations that take between Hazel Grace and Augustus is captivating. These two love struck cancer patients come off as very mature. Because of their illness they have had to grow up quicker than other teenagers. They talk to one another as adults rather than children.<br/><br/>Hazel Grace's tolerance with her whole cancer situation is remarkable. She knows that she is cursed with her illness. She understands her situation. She continues to go to school, already has her GED and is taking college classes at the age of 16. She handles her life as if cancer isn't going to just take her one-day. She's very relatable as well. As I read I would find myself empathizing with her as she went through her hardships in the book. She's actually funny too. The way she addresses her cancer situation is unique. ""I didn't tell him that the diagnosis came three months after I got my first period. Like: Congratulations! You're a woman. Now die.""<br/><br/>Augustus' way of always wanting to help others while no one can save him from his cancer is striking. When he plays his favorite video game the one to save as many people as possible in a video game he plays. He tries his best even if it means that he will lose the game and all the points he has been working so hard to get.<br/><br/>""I did some research on this a couple years ago,"" Augustus continued. ""I was wondering if everybody could be remembered. Like, if we got organized, and assigned a certain number of corpses to each living person, would there be enough living people to remember all the dead people?""<br/>""And are there?""<br/>""Sure, anyone can name fourteen dead people. But we're disorganized mourners, so a lot of people end up remembering Shakespeare and no one ends up remembering the person he wrote Sonnet Fifty-five about."" What 16-year-old boy sits down and thinks about these kind of things? Augustus' complex character does which is why the story in this book is so riveting.<br/><br/>Throughout the book I was left to ponder life. When I first picked up this book I never imagined that it would leave me to sit and think about the meaning of my life. I feel that that is what makes the characters so relatable to. We all go through those feelings of ""What is my purpose here? What am I going to do with my life? When I die, who will remember and care that I am gone?"" These two complex yet unique and relatable characters are what will keep you flipping through the book swiftly. I can honestly say that no book has ever made me go into such depth with my thoughts.<br/><br/>Green does an extraordinary job in writing this book. Green spent some time working with teenagers with cancer at children's hospital. From then he wanted to write about their experiences with cancer, but he couldn't do so without sounding self-indulgent and sentimental. That was until he was able to write The Fault in Our Stars. Not only does he write a story filled with teenage romance and makes us think about life. He gives us a peek into what life is like for a teenager with cancer. They go through things the way healthy people do, they are just stronger than most because they have a heavy baggage to carry around with them through everything they do. Although someone without cancer will never truly know what their life is like, this book allows us to get a bit of understanding of how life with cancer is.<br/><br/>""Sometimes, you read a book and it fills you with this weird evangelical zeal, and you become convinced that the shattered world will never be put back together unless and until all living humans read the book.""<br/>-John Green<br/><br/>This book is one of those books.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Despite some reviewers not finding the character's voices believable, I found it refreshing to take on death in such a direct way. No one really knows how another person feels who has gone through this. Most adults have nevered considered life and death in a way that these kids have so to say they don't speak like ""real"" teenagers is just wrong. They are not real teenagers. They are dying and they know it. A sweet, tragic love story. I recommend it.</span>"

4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R26OC9NKOY2FE9?ASIN=014242417X	Sucked me right in	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read this book in less than 6 hours last night (paused for dinner and bathroom breaks only) because I was captivated from the first page.<br/><br/>A support group for kids living with cancer? Depressing, but intriguing.<br/><br/>I couldn't put this book down. I was forever curious what was going to happen to these characters, I was deeply invested in their well-being (my favorite character by far being Issac. I wish Green would have developed him a little bit more). I haven't read a book dealing with such heavy subject matter that revolved around teenagers (except maybe some of Jodi Picoult's novels), and I think Green did a fantastic job of creating a story around a painful reality for a lot of families.<br/><br/>I read this book on a recommendation from a blogger and based on her review, I already knew it was intense. I went into the book knowing it was going to be sad, and I braced myself the entire way.<br/><br/>I'm not huge on romance novels and would never categorize this book as such, but I was a huge fan of the romance between Augustus and Hazel. Normally these teenage-y, puppy-love stories make me cringe, but I think the uncertainty of their future (both romantically and physically) made their relationship all the more intriguing.<br/><br/>But perhaps I didn't find the romance aspect of the book to be cringe-worthy because these teenagers did not talk and act like teenagers. Seriously, what teenagers quote poetry to one another? I don't care how refined and intelligent you are, that's not how teenagers act. I don't know if living with cancer gave them a different perspective on or appreciation for literature, but regardless, it didn't seem authentic. When I was 16, I could probably quote you a Backstreet Boys' lyric.<br/><br/>But really, the overwhelmingly maturity of the supposed teenagers is my only major beef with the book. It didn't make it or break it for me. The story was just too unique and too compelling to let that small fact overshadow the impact of the book. My heart was positively broken at the end. The unfairness of it all. The tragedy. This is only the second novel to ever make me cry while reading and it was so beautifully sad, I had to watch a few episodes of Family Guy to lift my spirits enough to fall asleep.<br/><br/>And did anyone else think that the book was going to end right in the middle of a sentence?</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3BUT5YAYICCD5?ASIN=014242417X	Wow.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">As a new parent, this book broke my heart; I hate even thinking about the possibility of losing my child at such a young age and to such a devastating illness. As a woman in love, this book also made me cry. I can't imagine knowing that your days are numbered...not even because your life will end, but because you are about to lose the person you are so in love with and will have to carry on without him. The part about your memories feeling less substantial and shallower now that the person you shared them with is gone...I can't even imagine. I have so many wonderful memories with my husband, so many inside jokes...he has become such a presence in my life that those things would indeed feel emptier without him to share them with, even in reminiscence and retrospect. John Green really nailed these things, and he portrayed each character as perfectly, imperfectly human, which is important because it can be so tempting to make a suffering character into a hero just because he or she is suffering. I know I'm rambling, but this book touched me on many levels, and I made my way through it faster than I've read a book in a while, alternately smiling and crying. Definitely worth a read, I'd say.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RQFQIQGQXH3RP?ASIN=014242417X	Buy a box of tissues, you will need the whole thing.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I cried and cried and cried. I felt bad for two days. What a beautiful book, using literary criteria and everything else. The emotional impact is absolutely wrenching. Yes, I recommend this book absolutely, but it won't do for everybody.<br/><br/>Later, I found myself wishing incurable cancer could always cause people to be this romantic and brave. Alas, no. Regrettably, I've 'witnessed' several deaths, and I've become familiar with the unpredictability of how people come apart faced with slow-motion dying. However, the central issue of children dying of cancer is heartbreaking, and the power of this book is that it doesn't sugar coat the emotional costs of dying children. Hazel and Augustus are incredibly lovable and their struggle to find a way to live with cancer in minimum darkness is truly affecting and amazingly real.<br/><br/>This is a romantic book of wit and strength, with few hard edges despite there being no miracles or reprieves, but it is difficult to put down regardless. Even with the knowing that these kids have incurable cancer, they have a quest to meet an author who lives in Amsterdam, and they scheme on ways to meet him that would take months to bring to fruition. We don't know if they get their wish for a long time. It drives the book forward keeping the reader on high tension. The day-to-day events are also completely engrossing as they reflect on the literal life and death possibility of each day being their last while they begin and grow their relationship. The trip to Anne Frank's house was very moving and satisfying, even while the obvious comparisons between Anne's life and our contemporary doomed teens was being made.<br/><br/>As most reviewers notice, the book is not, perhaps, 'GREAT', but it is 'great',  in my opinion. The only thing I noticed too much was the overly clean purity of the novel's structure. The fix is in: Hazel and Augustus are perfect, their parents are perfect, their wit is perfect, the progression of events is perfect. It is difficult to not be aware of being manipulated. It is the 'Bambi' Disney movie about death by cancer - although albeit bleak, no happy endings, but very realistically positive, anyway. Whether people loved it or hated it, most of us noticed this somewhat airbrushed quality, which seems to be the stony beach people either can skip over and enjoy swimming in the water - or not. I think it should be said at this point that this is a Teen Read, which SHOULD be a mild sauce novel. It's not a Harlequin, but it's not a gritty noir. It is definitely not for everyone, though. It's not a five tissue read - its a using-up-every-tissue-in-the-house and having red, puffy eyes for a day read.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R29I8IGOC87SC6?ASIN=014242417X	Flawed, but heartbreaking.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I don't typically review books online, but I have some strong opinions about this one. I love to read YA from time to time and picked this up because I heard how amazing and hilarious and blah blah it is..and in a way, that's true. Many times I wanted to stop reading it, but kept on, and I'm very glad I did.<br/><br/>The book contains a very interesting mixture of strengths and weaknesses. The harrowing portrayal of teens with cancer is the strongest aspect of the book - it is unsentimental, not cliched, and yet filled with pathos.  John Green deserves the highest praise for this difficult achievement. There are images, and descriptions of Hazel's feelings, that will haunt me for a long time. I spent the last third of the book in tears.<br/><br/>At the same time, however...the characters are insufferable! They are the most pretentious, annoying YA characters I've ever encountered. It's not that ""17 year olds don't talk like that"", it's just that those who do tend to be very unpleasant people. I wonder if this was purposeful or if he was trying to appeal to a certain demographic? Today's hipster intellectual teenagers who know that life's just a big accident and so have to constantly deprecate themselves, and yet can't help faling in looove? Ugh.<br/><br/>And yet...even as they annoyed me, I realized as the story went on that I had come to care for them greatly. We all share the same struggle to understand death, which is dealt with so well in this book. Interestingly, as the plot really gets going about halfway through the story, most of the flowery pretentious showoff nonsense banter is dropped, and you're left with a very moving story. There were some other rather uneven aspects of the book and the writing, but the strength of the story itself, and its well-formed confluence of first love, death, humor, etc. is more important. This book will stick with me.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I originally purchased it because I had read and seen such good reviews about it online but the truth is I did not find the book memorable at all. It is a fast read so I actually skimmed through it in a day, but as for the storyline it was not my favorite. I am not saying that the book was not well written, but it was just not memorable enough. After I finished reading it I did not know what the characters names were. Or maybe I just do not like books with this tone. Overall I would not recommend for you to not buy it though because in general many people did love this book, so I am in the low percentage.</span>"

3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R32OS6M2ORYFR5?ASIN=014242417X	Left me thinking about it for a while after reading it.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I like to think that I'm pretty particular about books and that I don't read a lot of fluff and junk. I like quite a bit of Young Adult books for an adult, and there is some truly excellent YA literature out there that can be equally enjoyed by adults. I think that this book is one of those examples. I reserve 5 stars for truly excellent books and absolute favorites. While I think this book is very, very good, and is absolutely worth reading, it's not what I call excellent. But like I said, it's very, very good. I enjoyed the plot, I enjoyed the characters, and I enjoyed most of the dialogue. There are definitely some instances where you feel like kids wouldn't talk the way they are, but I didn't mind that unrealistic part of it. It certainly didn't kill the remaining good points to the book. It has a pretty predictable ending, but it's a great story, it captured my attention and kept it, it reads quickly, and I found myself thinking about this book for the rest of the day. I highly recommend it.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R18D55QQPMH73U?ASIN=014242417X	Good read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I don't know John Green's work outside of this book; but now I'm hooked--have to explore him more.  At any rate, read this book; take away from it that which will help you ""live your best life now.""  You'll see life, death, pain, suffering, true love, parents, trite but insightful friends, and one wannabe Yoda alcholic.  While ""some infinities are bigger than others"", this book expanded mine. I think it will expand yours too.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R28OT2P8XSGS1T?ASIN=014242417X	Well-written and Humurous Story about  Grim Subject	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I really enjoyed reading A Fault In Our Stars first and foremost because John Green is hilarious. The witty banter and thoughts of the characters alone are worth reading. Green is an intelligent writer and his words flow consistently throughout the novel.<br/><br/>Green does more than tell a great story-he asks a lot of questions about life, death, God and the universe and doesn't give answers-just more questions. As a question-asker in life, I appreciated the questions and I appreciate that they didn't have answers because then it would have been a cliche cancer book.<br/><br/>I love symbolism, so I appreciate all the symbolism Green uses.<br/><br/>I like the main characters, Augustus Waters and Hazel Grace. They are intelligent teens, much more mature for their age probably because they've faced challenges most of their peers never have to even think about.<br/><br/>The ending was perfect-some call it a twist, but I saw it coming pretty early on. What I liked about the ending is that it ends hopeful, life lessons are learned, and the wording is great.<br/><br/>Grab some tissues, though, because it will make you cry.<br/><br/>I have very few complaints about this book, but there are a few. I like Hazel and Augustus, but they have very few flaws and I love flawed characters because it makes them more human. Hazel and Augustus seemed to me the quintessential awesome-beautiful-smart teens whose only issue is was that they are dying. Granted, that is a big issue. But, their near perfection made it hard for me to relate to them.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">So, I've found yet another way to annoy my teenage son.<br/><br/>I already annoy him by:<br/>1. being his mother<br/>2. asking questions about girls he's interested in<br/>3. talking to his friends when they come over<br/><br/>In return, he annoys me by:<br/>1. being my son, in other words, a male ME<br/>2. being secretive about girls he's interested in<br/>3. having his friends over<br/><br/>In 2011, he asked for this book as a late Christmas present. He insisted I pre-order from Amazon because he would be guaranteed a signed copy. (Hmm...wonder who he got THAT from...) When the book arrived, he read it in two days. That's a record for him. Most books take him months to complete as they can't compete with the siren's call of Facebook and the XBOX 360. He told me that I had to read this book. I HAD to!<br/><br/>I put it in my 'to read' stack. (Well okay, one of my 'to read' stacks.) There it remained. For a year. It drove my son nuts. ""Have you read that book yet?"" he would ask. ""Nope!"" was my reply.<br/><br/>Hehehehehe. Or maybe, bwahaha.<br/><br/>Besides my enjoyment of messing with the boy's mind, I was in no hurry to read this book. I'd already read two John Green books. I was pretty sure the plot would involve a winsome young girl who bewitches a shy young man and touches his life in unexpected ways. And, I wasn't wrong. Once again we have a wispy gal who holds a guy under her spell, just by being own delightful self, gosh darn it! Only this time, they're both dying (or living with, if you're a glass half full person) cancer. (I can't help it. I always say it the way my mother did - halfway between a hiss and a whisper.)<br/><br/>I tried not to, but I liked Hazel. I liked how she said exactly what was on her mind, no matter the consequences. I like how she kept her sense of humor; so important when you have, well, you know...the thing. And, I liked that she had a great relationship with her parents.<br/><br/>It is a truly cruel and unfair universe indeed when someone like Hazel receives a death sentence, and Bella of the Twilight Saga gets eternal life.<br/><br/>One of these days I'll have to get around to telling my son that I finally read his book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3NVMS8GLE7LBM?ASIN=014242417X	Teenagers are not believable but overall good book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is one of those books that you more or less know what is going to happen before you even start reading the first page. Two people are going to fall in love and one of them is going to die and it will be really sad. It has been done so much in movies and books that I tend to avoid them because they just don't move me as much as everyone else it seems. This book through cancer into the mix, another reason for me to not read it because a book this widely loved if you don't like it for any reason at all you are going to get hated, bashed, beat up etc.. well not beat up but you get my point. I don't think that is fair because not everyone is going to like every book and I respect the one star reviews for being honest.<br/>So I finally picked this up because well I was tired of seeing it everywhere and I have had several people asked me if I had read it yet. Finally late last night I picked it up from Amazon and started reading.<br/>My feelings on the book were really mixed and I started to give it 3 stars but I ended up with 4. I liked the overall story however Gus and Hazel really were not all the believable. Yes I am aware not many people feel this way but really stand back and look, what teenagers talk or act like this? The teenagers come across as geneses and the adults come across, well at times like idiots. In the end that is why I didn't really feel as much sadness as I probably would have if I had connected with them more. It wasn't that I didn't understand them it was that they were not believable and there is a difference.<br/>I didn't cry, or sob at the ending but overall I did enjoy the story and the writing was good so I ended up with 4 stars. I am planning to look up more of Green's work as this is the first book I have read written by John Green.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I don't know how many stars it deserves, really.<br/><br/>First, this is the only John Green novel I have ever read, and as a YA author, I will admit that he seems to have chops.  Because I liked his style and because I teach high school, I will explore more of his work.  The dialogue is a lot like Dawson's Creek, with teenagers who think they're incredibly profound and self-aware, making literary references and speaking in SAT words.<br/><br/>However (and this may be me bringing my own baggage to this book), it fell into the cancer porn category for me.  The cancer wasn't hidden only to be sprung upon you later (unlike, say, the film Stepmom), but it still becomes very ""cancer-as-entertainment.""<br/><br/>Maybe I shouldn't have read this one, because it struck a pretty touchy chord with me that way.</span>"

3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RGWERJ87PBE2D?ASIN=014242417X	First half is knock-your-socks-off good	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">John Green almost accomplishes the impossible, writing a book about life - as opposed to death - from the perspective of a teenage terminal cancer patient who's surrounded by other disease-ridden youth. The first half of the book showcases creative and unparalleled writing. As just one example of the brilliant literary vehicle Green creates at cruising speed, I offer: ""His hand reached for her boob over her shirt and pawed at it, his palm still while his fingers moved around. I wondered if that felt good. Didn't seem like it would, but I decided to forgive Isaac on the grounds that he was going blind. The senses must feast while there is yet hunger and whatever."" The placement of that ""and whatever"" just kills me. Perfection. Green's other massive accomplishment is enabling the reader to empathize with minor characters (always a difficult feat) via the observations of a sixteen year-old (teenagers being renowned for their egocentricity and all). Case in two points: (1) ""[W]hen I was in the ICU and it looked like I was going to die and Mom was telling me it was okay to let go, and I was trying to let go but my lungs kept searching for air, Mom sobbed something into Dad's chest that I wish I hadn't heard, and that I hope she never finds out that I did hear. She said, `I won't be a mom anymore'""; (2) ""[Dad] was waving back, and crying. It occurred to me that he was probably thinking he might never see me again, which he probably thought every single morning of his entire weekday life as he left for work, which probably sucked."" The only fault I find in Green's star turn is probably a matter of personal preference (I'm a sunshine and rainbows kind of girl): the second half of the book felt anticlimactic both emotionally (spoiler alert: the ratio of time the characters spend living versus dying flips) and literarily (even a vehicle like a Ferrari loses the wow factor if you ride in it long enough).</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R359RV20CNZHR?ASIN=014242417X	hilarious and insightful, but same old John Green	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">As seen on Book[never]ends: [...]<br/>Hazel Grace Lancaster is 16 years old and has been diagnosed with Thyroid cancer since she was 13. Determined to be depressed by her overbearing mother and doctors, she is forced to attend a support group with other teenagers who suffer from cancer. It is there that she meets Augustus Walters, a cancer survivor  who lost his leg to osteosarcoma a few years ago. Together, the two learn what it means to leave a mark on this world.<br/><br/>Overall, I really enjoyed this book. I love John Green books in general (keep in mind I've only read Looking For Alaska in addition to this) for the reasons I think that most people do--his witty humor and sageful life lessons that are quotable and can easily be slapped on throw pillows ('encouragement' worthy) and tumblr photography.<br/><br/>I feel like these qualities both help and hurt Green's books.<br/><br/>First--the witty humor. While it is witty and humorous, its Green's wit and humor, not his characters--or should I say his characters are him? In that way, I felt like Hazel, Augustus and Issac were all very similar and not very well developed because their humor was all the same: they all were just characterized versions of Green with very slight nuances (watch one of his vlogbrothers youtube videos and you'll know what I mean).<br/><br/>This I feel I was able to overlook easily simply because I do really enjoy Green's humor (which as I said before, most all of the characters exhibit)--I think he's hilarious--so I didn't mind the same hilarity from all of  the characters in the book.<br/><br/>Another thing I noticed that Green does it that he likes to use uncommon names for his protagonists--Augustus, Alaska (Looking for Alaska), Quentin (Paper Towns)--its quite a fascination. I don't mind it much though, in fact I like it. Personally, I think YA lit has enough Katies/Kates, Annas/Annies, etc. Also I think it helps get rid of certain stigmas certain names have (or the stigma could just take over the character, but I didn't have that problem in this book--although I couldn't read Augustus' name without singing the ""Augustus Gloop"" song in my head...). Maybe chick-lit-worthy-love-interest Augustus Walters will help overcome the stigma attached to the name Augustus (thanks to a certain German chocolate-philia golden ticket winner whose obesity gets him stuck inside a tube...).<br/><br/>The ending of the book I feel also follows the pattern of Green's previous books--the anti-climatic greater life lesson epiphany that summarizes the overall idea of the book. In Looking for Alaska it was:<br/>""He was gone, and I did not have time to tell him what I had just now realized: that I forgave him, and that she forgave us, and that we and to forgive to survive in the labyrinth...So I know she forgives me, just as I forgive her. Thomas Edison's last words were: `It's very beautiful over there.' I don't know where there is, but I believe it's somewhere, and I hope it's beautiful"" (218, 221).<br/>In this book it was:<br/>""You don't get to choose if you get hurt in this world, old man, but you do have some say in who hurts you. I like my choices. I hope she likes hers.<br/>""I do, Augustus. I do"" (313).<br/>While one may argue that many of these repetitions between TFIOS and Green's other books are just a product of Green's writing style--and while to a certain extent I can agree, I feel like these repetitions will get old if it continues in his future books as the novelty of his writing becomes repeated a few too many times.<br/><br/>While the book had me laughing on every page and had very insightful life lessons that didn't cross the line of preachy, Green lost some points by structuring the book too similarly to his previous works and by failing to create distinctly different and unique characters.</span>"

In fact, this is the first book I have read by John Green. It wasn't a book I'd have picked up to read because in the main, I write cross-genre thrillers, so young adult novels tend to throw me. But it was recommended to me by my sixth-form daughter and, I have to say, I was blown away. Not only was I totally captivated by Hazel as the novel's main character, the subject matter of the plot was so sensitively written, it wouldn't have been hard to convince me that John Green was just a pen name and that Hazel had written it herself. It's not just a hauntingly painful book to read, it is also emotionally daunting. Hazel's raw courage almost left me breathless. The Fault in our Stars will remain my memory for some time to come. Well done, John Green. [...]</span>"

3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1BUXZJ7ZA37GC?ASIN=014242417X	Beautifully characterized	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">It had been so long since I added this to my ""to read"" list that I had utterly forgotten the plot by the time I actually got it from the library. Hazel is a typical angsty 16-year-old, except that at age 13 she was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. However, a miracle drug has extended her life but she must live with the knowledge of her eventual death hanging over her. Enter Augustus, an equally angsty teenager who has lost his leg to cancer but is currently in remission. Despite his drop-dead-gorgeous looks, Hazel finds herself on his radar, and thus begins their love story.<br/><br/>The good: Even though I had some issues with the characters (see below), I was still drawn to finding out about them. They definitely sucked me into their world and their relationship. It was a good example of a character-driven novel done right. I've never read anything by Green before, but really enjoyed his writing style. It was compelling and somehow moved quickly while meandering. By the end he actually managed to make me cry; this may have been more related to having just attended in August the funeral of a 10-year-old girl who lost her battle with a brain tumor and was a close family friend.<br/><br/>The bad: I dinged it a star because I'm not sure this actually brought anything new to the genre. Apart from their diseases, the characters were all typically snarky teenagers, and I didn't feel like he was making a point with this fact. On top of that, they all acted like they were at least in their 20s. Again, not because having such a heavy burden had brought about maturity. It was definitely distracting.<br/><br/>Red flags include strong language, death, and a glossed-over sex scene.</span>"

A perfect audience for this book would be for teens around 15 or 16, though any age above that may enjoy it as well. John Greene does a wonderful job creating dialogue in this novel that makes you feel as though you are interacting with, and know the characters very well. I feel that the characters are what makes this book so special. This book is not solely about cancer, though many infer that.  Anyone who enjoys a great love story between common people that come to realization that they will not live for a long time, will be drawn to this emotional novel. Also, you are always left wanting to read on more. John Greene shows how overcoming and fighting obstacles takes place in everyone's lives, how powerful a bond can be, and truly stresses the most important things in life.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R4WCNW0XILQYW?ASIN=014242417X	Heartwrenching, yet...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read ""Looking for Alaska"", another novel by author John Green"", years ago, and it wasn't until recently, around the time of the release of ""The Fault in Our Stars"" that I discovered the video channel on Youtube ran by him and his brother Hank.  Their videos convinced me to read this book, and while it is definitely heartbreaking at points, and a thrilling read that's incredibly difficult to put down, I couldn't help but read certain situations and feel disconnected.  I don't think it's a fault of the skill of the author, or the story itself, it may just have been me personally.  I was also disappointed with the ending of the book, as it seemed quite abrupt (although, while typing this, I can't help but wonder if this was intentionally, to fit along with a key part of the novel).<br/><br/>While not my favorite novel by Green (I recommend you read ""Paper Towns"", or the aforementioned ""Looking for Alaska"" and you may see what I mean), this is a quality novel nonetheless.  It is young adult fiction that doesn't talk down to the reader- almost to the point of being a tad bit pretentious. (However, in my opinion a tiny bit of pretention never hurt anyone!).  Regardless of technical genre- I recommend this for anyone young or old.<br/><br/>**(Does contain a bit of tragedy that may not be emotionally suitable for the youngest group of YA readers, but that's up to parents to decide!).</span>"

2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2FABT1URSZRWV?ASIN=014242417X	A moving piece of fiction about living with cancer!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">There are tons of books written about kids with cancer--both fiction and non-fiction. And when picking up this book, I wondered to myself what else could really be said about this. What was the author going to contribute to this genre of literature.  Boy was I wrong!  I thought that John Green did a masterful job telling the story from the perspective of a 16 year old girl--Hazel--who knows she is dying. There really is not a cure for the form of lung cancer she has.  The only question really is how much longer she has to live.  And then she meets what can only be described as an amazing and unique guy named Augustus--another young man who seems to have beaten the cancer he had some years ago albeit at the cost of one of his legs.  He not only mystifies her but also brightens her day as only one teenager can do to another. Hazel really hadn't know love before and was introduced to it by Augustus. They become close, spend so much time together, and then tragedy strikes in many forms.  Without giving away the key elements of the book I will say that you will likely be moved to tears as you read of Hazel's struggle with her illness, her feelings for Augustus, and her desire to just be a regular, normal teenage woman.  A very worthwhile read and I highly recommend it.</span>"

I'm going to have to reread other John Green books to decided if this one was my favorite or not. I think I like An Abundance of Katherines and Looking For Alaska more. Still a wonderful book though. I really enjoy easy reads like this.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R11ONE3CNONOYH?ASIN=014242417X	A decent read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I'm not much of a reader so if I finish a book, I must like it.  I read this based on a friends comment of how it was life-changing for them.  It really was a good book to read.  The only two things I didn't care for was 1., what other reviewers said about the way these teenagers spoke.  It is on a level of scholars and not teens.  I took that with a grain of salt and it didn't bother me but I had to keep in mind this isn't how any two teenagers would ever talk.  The second thing was, it was depressing for the most part.  And the part with Isaac in Augustus's basement was...well...downright horrifying to me.<br/><br/>I have a teenage daughter (13) and I don't think I would want her reading this just yet.  I also thought about telling my mom about it but then decided against that too, since my sister, one of her children, died of cancer in her 40's several years ago.<br/><br/>I finished it with a good feeling.  It will most certainly affect my attitude towards life.  In a good way.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R10B68BBK50P31?ASIN=014242417X	"Pitch-perfect Young Adult - but doesn't stop anyone from ""enjoying"" it"	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Funny to use the word ""enjoy"" with this book given the topic is Teenage Cancer.<br/><br/>The main characters are well drawn; they elicit our sympathy but not necessarily in a maudlin way.  You feel empathy for them ... and their friends and their families ... and even for mere acquaintances.<br/><br/>But for me there was one major annoyance : While the author captures the precociousness of his teenagers' voices, I felt he failed with the voice of the cantankerous, drunken Van Houten.  While Augustus and Hazel were maybe a trifle overwritten (though not to their detriment given their circumstances) Van Houten was underwritten and stayed a bit flat for me.  To be fair, if the book is aimed at Young Adults then maybe that is the way it should be ... but he always felt contrived, one dimensional and just there for the convenience of the plotline.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2J177Y4EYDE7N?ASIN=014242417X	Fault in Our Stars Review	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I am definitely going to be in the minority by saying this, but I am not in love with this book like everyone else.  I wouldn't normally read a ""cancer"" book, but it got such good reviews I thought I would give it a try.  It was also my first John Green novel.  Oh John Green.  How can you make me simultaneously enjoy your book and yet be so irritated with it? My main problem was with the characters.  Hazel and Augustus are characters who are supposed to be teens but in no way act or talk like teens or even like most adults.  The hyper aware, Proust sprouting, manic-ness of Gus and Hazel's thoughts grated on me a bit.  It was like if Rory Gilmore from the Gilmore Girls and Dawson from Dawson's Creek got cancer and then had metaphorical discussions about it all the time.  It was just too much for me sometimes. And really, Gus' whole cigarette stiche were he put cigarettes in his mouth but does not smoke them because he ""puts the killing thing in front of him but does not allow it to kill him"" as a metaphor just about sent me over the top.  What is THAT?<br/><br/>But for all my railings against his characters, I did find the book very well written and thought provoking.  It is a heart wrenching and realistic look at cancer.  And the ending.  Oh the ending well definitely get you.  I feel like it is a book that will stay with you for a long time after reading it.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R24Y8VVC1ISIF8?ASIN=014242417X	A Tearful and Heartwarming Read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is my first John Green book. Please don't judge me. I try to avoid cancer books because I've lost too many family members and animals to cancer. I just can't handle the waterworks. I'll be curled up in a ball, rocking myself, going why why as Niagara Falls pours down my face. Okay, dramatic, I know. But this was like The Book Thief all over again. Two things I can't handle emotionally: cancer and the Holocaust. Oh, and dying animals (p.s. no animals were harmed in the writing of The Fault in Our Stars).<br/><br/>Despite the tears and the inevitable sadness of Stage IV thyroid cancer and the Holocaust, I still loved The Fault in Our Stars and The Book Thief (random little thought there). The Fault in Our Stars was beautifully written, even the sad scenes. Despite the ever-present subject of dying, Green managed to skillfully intertwine humor and sadness, making the story all the more poignant. One moment, I would be fighting off tears, and the next I'd be laughing out loud. I honestly don't know how he did it. And there was poetry! As a poet, I'm all about poems in YA books or any books. Green fit philosophy, literature, and poetry into the story, and all of it was relevant to the plot. It flowed naturally, and it didn't seem like he was simply including quotes in order to appear highly intellectual. And ""The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock"" is one of my top favorite poems EVER. Good job Green!<br/><br/>Green developed his characters so well. I felt like I knew them, and I wanted them to be real simply because I felt connected to them. I felt what they were feeling, whether it was happiness, despair, or anger. I loved their quirks, their ability to find happiness in the bleakest of situations. I loved their strengths and their weaknesses, their compassion and their hobbies. The video games, the books, the oxygen tank named Philip, and the little sayings they said to comfort each other fit wonderfully into the story. I couldn't help adoring Hazel and Augustus and Isaac. Especially Augustus. His energy and affection for Hazel was adorable.  I think it's so hilarious though that he's a gorgeous, blue-eyed (Elijah Wood) cancer patient who knows big words and loves V for Vendetta. And they said so much in their conversation. I learned things I didn't want to know about the world and humanity and mortality, and it was all so meaningful.<br/><br/>I was not a fan of the 35 year olds trapped in teenage bodies. It distracted me from the main plot and messed with my head. Okay, maybe cancer changes you, or forces you to leave childhood behind earlier than you'd like. But even the adults in this book were taken aback by Hazel's and Augustus's behavior. Their parents even recognized their children were weird. Because they were really weird. Sometimes it was endearing, but other times, it was annoying. It was a little too much for me, even if I chose to suspend disbelief or something like that. Augustus admits he's pretentious, and I have to agree. I just can't imagine teenagers saying what these two said. It was as if they had recited speeches for every minute of the day.<br/><br/>Besides that, I really did enjoy this book. While it made me cry, I know it will last in my memory for a long time! It was definitely a more than worthwhile read.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2NN1TI68VR6GK?ASIN=014242417X	It demands to be felt...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I took a break out of reading the next book of A Song of Ice and Fire with The Fault in Our Stars. It's a fun, quick read. The characters are a little reminiscent of Looking For Alaska, but nevertheless I really enjoyed this read. I liked that the characters were able to joke about their illnesses instead of angst the entire time about it--though I suppose there was a good amount of angst in the places angst should be. I was hoping the ending would have been a little different, but it served it's purpose.<br/><br/>Give the book a read--but don't open the cover to begin your read already thinking you've made your decision on how awesome the book is. I don't believe it's worth 5/5 stars, but it is definitely a good book. It demands to be felt.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3KUAB74WS8W1C?ASIN=014242417X	I an not a John Green book type of girl.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">First I have to say that this is my first time I read a book by John Green (le gasp!) and sadly I am just not his type (perhaps my stupid minuscule brain can't comprehend his nerdfighter awesomeness). I do have to say I love him and Hank, and Sarah, and Katherine. Dude, love their vlogs!<br/>Okay, okay, let's talk about this book. If you haven't noticed, this book has a ridiculously high rating on Goodreads. Good job John! :) And I swear that comment was not sarcastic! I was expecting the best book in the world from the high ratings, but like I said before, I am not his type of girl...well his book type of girl.<br/><br/>This book was hilarious. I totally pictured John being Augustus. Everything Gus said I could imagine saying it in John's voice. And seriously, the audiobook totally solidified that reasoning (I'll explain later in my audiobook review). John was able to pull off a sad book with a tremendous amount of funny things.<br/><br/>Hazel was really like a teen, a real teen. I liked how I couldn't put her in a category. She was not your girly girl or your super tough boy-ish girl. She was just Hazel Grace Lancaster. She was ""[...]fairly shy - not the hand-raising type"" (pg 12) also liked to be alone! I was literally jumping for joy when I found out that. She totally seemed like me...but way cooler. Her personality kind of reminded me of an egg. She was shy to a point where she would probably not be the one to approach someone but instead she needed someone like Gus, an outgoing, bubbly, fun character to ""crack her shell"". And yeah did I mention how she was super cool? She wasn't your goodie too shoes, seriously, she was just a bundle of perfection that you can't pin down. She really felt like a real teenager.<br/><br/>My initial thought was that Augustus reminded me of Naruto. He was a little hyper, nerdy, and adorable! Also like I said before, I couldn't stop myself from picturing John. The way he talked just reminded me of John so god damn much. He was the type of person that EVERYONE loved. There was something about him (a hint of magic perhaps) that just made people like him, very John Green and very Naruto Uzumaki. When I read on, for some reason Gus reminded me (just a teeny weenie bit) of Kise Ryouta due to the fact he was good at basketball and he was funny/silly. There were little things that Gus did that made him just adorable, for example I looooveeed how he called Hazel, Hazel Grace. I loved the ""always"" thing Gus and Hazel did also the cigarette thing. There is more I want to say about Gus but I just can't because it will be spoilers.<br/><br/>So that was the main characters, now the minor ones. Kaitlyn was unique. She was your typical Pretty Little Liars girls, ugh ew? (See what I did there?) But she hates feet! Yes *high five* and oddly my family has a trend of having a long second toe too *looks at my sister and my mom*. Haha, I guess I don't really hate her, in fact I kind of like her. I also I enjoy how Hazel's dad was more the crying type instead of her mom. Hazel's mom seemed not a patient's mom. She acted happy and celebratory. I really respect the parents in this novel. Isaac was super fun to read. I don't want to spoil anything but I feel for you the most (which is odd because there are characters that I should feel for more). Peter, oh Peter. He was like my chemistry teacher. Dear God above, please help the ones around him. He was a total J-E-R-K! There were so many moments that I would want to punch him to pieces. There is something else I want to say but I need to shut up so yeah...<br/><br/>There was something recent that happened in my life that I could somewhat connect with this book. And by somewhat I mean I didn't have...ugh I need to shut up again, or else spoilers will come out.<br/><br/>This book was so John Green! I could totally tell he wrote it. It was funny, smart. The relationship wasn't slimy or goopy. The relationship was clean and not like a whiny girl talking how the guy is gorgeous and need him by her side and their skin would touch and fire flares and universes collide blah blah blah.<br/><br/>Wow, from what you had read it seemed like this book was epically awesome right? And I have to say that the pros seem to out weight the cons but within the cons, there lies something indescribable.<br/><br/>I guess I shall begin with the cons now right? You will see that this part compares to the previous section is basically inexistent. For this book the beginning sounded a little, not real. I mean really?! Hazel would just go to a stranger boy's house? They just met, I don't know, an hour ago? I knew she was ill and that she probably doesn't interact much as her parents would grab on to any chance of interactions with the world but still! Hazel's mom didn't even offer to go with Hazel. She just basically left her with Gus. Really?! To me this book was just a book with great characters, and nothing else. The plot was simply weak. It felt like I was at a retirement home and it was Bingo night: ""B4, B4, B4."". Nothing really surprising happened, it just seemed like I was a boat and I was just following the current, slowly travelling down the stream. I mean there wasn't even a waterfall that I could fall off to (at least that would be exciting). Now on to something that is super hard to explain and sounds a little foolish and many probably won't understand.<br/><br/>The hamartia of this book was that it wasn't emotional enough for me. Everyone said they had felt SUPER sad when they finished. Most people cried. Most people said that it was the saddest book they had ever read. Seriously, I did not cry, in fact I didn't really felt bad (I am a sadist) except in one scene. And you might think that ""Oh Ashley is just cold-hearted"". Oh how you are wrong there my friend. Just ask the people who know me well, haha, I cry over almost everything. But this book just didn't provoke my crying, teary emotions. I was expecting and wishing and praying that this book would make me cry like The Kite Runner did. I think the reason was that I didn't truly felt the love between Gus and Hazel (please don't kill me for saying that). But I really didn't feel their love, and how they connected. I wished this book made me crawl into a corner with a blanket around me and cry until the stars exploded, but unfortunately didn't happen. I wished this book could make me feel exposed, and vulnerable. I wished this book made me cry in the middle of the night like it happened with The Kite Runner. I wished my body would spaz when I thought of a quote from the book. I wished this book made me cry from the bottom of my heart (and my ugly crying face can be revealed but I still wouldn't give a crap because I was so emotionally destroyed). But all those I wished are just I wished, and that was the hamartia of this book.<br/><br/>You can argue that I am just not worthy of a John Green novel or perhaps I don't have the brain to understand John Green and this book. And those arguments can be very valid. Just one last thing before you leave, I respect John Green from the bottom of my weird, twisted heart. Even though I didn't enjoy this book as much as I hoped, I know that John, you are one of a kind, one in a lifetime type of person. You are a treasure in our crumbling world, and I might be just to lost in it to see your light.<br/><br/>Audiobook review:<br/>Okay, all hail Kate Rudd! She sounded like a female version of John Green. No wait! She reminds me of Katherine, John's sister in law. The way she changed from all the characters was amazing! Wow! Brilliant! She could do a sad, melancholy voice or Gus' super funny, bubbly voice. She could change from the different gender perfectly and she was able to made distinctive voices for different characters. But I most loved about Kate was her ability to produce an Amsterdam accent. Yes Kate did mention in an interview that the accent was a challenge she faced when recording this but it sure felt like she was part Dutch.<br/>I loved the music in the ends of the audiobooks. Kate was amazing! Okay, here is the thing with the audiobook. Augustus sounded like an excited kid. He was vey happy, jokey type of person. If I didn't listen to the audiobook and instead read the book by itself, would I had cried? Because perhaps Gus would sound more mature and the relationship between Hazel and Gus would be more connected?<br/><br/>4.5 out of 5 for the audiobook.<br/><br/>Haha, I wonder if anyone is actually going to read my review in its entirety.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R23OXJNDU3HX6O?ASIN=014242417X	A Wonderful Book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read this book in one night. I didn't stop, save to go to the bathroom.<br/>I had never read a John Green book prior to reading the Fault in Our Stars and had few expectations.<br/>Needless to say I was pleasantly surprised.<br/>Unlike other stories featuring the cancer stricken, this book was about people with cancer, not cancer itself.<br/>This was unbelievably refreshing!<br/>Green does a frighteningly good job of writing from the perspective of a teenage girl. I could relate to Hazel on many levels, cough ANTM watching. I had no problem with Hazel and Augustus' sudden attraction. That's how hormones work.<br/> I loved that Green didn't feel any need to dumb down his characters. They speak like intellectual teens, they do exist.<br/>The one wishy-washy element of this book was Van Houten. I understand his importance, and loved him as a character, but once he started showing up unannounced in Hazel's car he lost his credibility.<br/>All my problems with this book are minor though, wiped away by how astoundingly beautiful the rest of the book is.<br/>A must read!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R6J5CPGKWZF3B?ASIN=014242417X	A Book About Finding Your Place in The World	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">So I have two options. One, remove my reading glasses every time I need to wipe the tears from my eyes; or two, hold the book far enough away so I can read without my glasses and wipe my eyes as I read. I choose the latter, since the third option (stop reading altogether) isn't really an option at all. If you read Young Adult-type books I am sure you have heard of this book. It's been everywhere, including the number one spot on the New York Times Bestseller List. There's nothing I can say about it that hasn't already been said. But since I'm here, writing, and since you're there, reading, what the heck.<br/><br/>Hazel, 16, meets Augustus,17, in a cancer support group for kids. He's only there to support his friend, Isaac, who has lost an eye to cancer. Hazel wasn't supposed to be there, meaning, she wasn't supposed to make it this far. Three years into her battle, she's holding steady. Despite her ruined lungs, traveling oxygen tank, hovering parents and lack of a life of a normal teenager, she's one of the ""lucky"" ones. Augustus knows exactly how she's feeling, since he, too, is a lucky one, except for the missing leg. But he's been clear for a while, and gives Hazel a focus that she desperately needs. He's been there, yet he refuses to stay there. For you can't be ""normal"" ever again. People either keep you at an arm's length because they can't relate or they pity you. Neither are comfortable places to be.<br/><br/>In one of those moments of honesty, Hazel tries to explain her feelings to her mom, who thinks that she's depressed and needs to get out more:<br/><br/>""I'm a grenade and at some point I'm going to blow up and I would like to minimize the casualties, okay?""...""I'm a grenade,"" I said again. ""I just want to stay away from people and read books and think and be with you guys because there's nothing I can do about hurting you; you're too invested, so just please let me do that, okay? I'm not depressed. I don't need to get out more. And I can't be a regular teenager, because I am a grenade.""<br/><br/>Augustus lives his life like there's literally no tomorrow. Even though his type of cancer has an 85% rate of recovery, he's prepared for death since his first diagnosis. He has the suit, he's chosen his plot. So all that's left to do is go to school and be the center of the universe for his friends. His sense of humor, his unflinching views and his love for Hazel are what keeps everyone going. How many cancer survivors do you know that like to taunt death by dangling an unlit cigarette between their teeth or help their blind friend egg an ex-girlfriend's car? How many would share their ""wish"" with a girlfriend who has already used hers to travel to Disney World (""Hazel GRACE!"" He shouted. ""You did not use your one dying Wish to go to Disney World with your parents!"")?<br/><br/>This book, in all of its scary cancer-ness and talk of treatments, lost body parts, lost children, and lost control is ultimately about moving on. From cancer itself, whether through death or remission. From illness being the central focus of one's life (or entire family's life). From friends, both former and stricken. It's about people telling you that it's okay that you're a grenade and they would rather feel the unholy force of your explosion than never feel your love or touch or presence. Because, ultimately, people will be people, we should allow them to be so, and we should let in those who think they can handle an untimely end and love those who can't. It is still a tragedy, especially my looking through a lens of advanced adulthood, knowing the life that they'll miss. But while they are alive, let them carve their niche in their own way and savor life and its ""normal"" ups and downs the best they can. Otherwise, it's pretty hypocritical. For how can you justify feeling pity or remorse for someone because they can't live their life and then you don't let them try?<br/><br/>For those wondering about the title, it comes from Shakespeare's Julius Caesar. Though Augustus doesn't agree, the line is as follows:<br/><br/>""The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars,<br/>But in ourselves, that we are the underlings.""<br/><br/>4.5 of 5 Stars (Based on Ink and Page's Rating System) and 27 tissues.<br/><br/>Genres: Young Adult Fiction Contemporary Cancer<br/>Ages: 14 and up<br/>You might want to know: Minimal sexual references, some coarse language<br/><br/>The Fault in Our Stars by John Green was published January 10, 2012 by Dutton Juvenile.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1R097Y7XI04MN?ASIN=014242417X	A book that takes you on a journey through adolescence and cancer	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book brings to light a reality that is that is typically very hard for people to deal with - children who have serious/terminal cancer. But the great thing about The Fault in Our Stars is that it makes these children vibrant. Their disease does not define them and they are portrayed as lively kids whose physical limitations don't keep them from living, loving and having great adventures. This fictional tale centers on a teenager named Hazel. She is very sick and has a daily routine that includes watching America's Next Top Model, being catered to by her mother, frequent trips to see doctors and a weekly support group for children with cancer. Life is pretty uneventful until the fateful day when a new boy named Augustus Waters shows up at her support group. It is a story that is not to be missed.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2Y0TVYCYCKZWU?ASIN=014242417X	Seriously good read.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I enjoyed this book and recommend it....it does keep you turning pages.  Spoiler:  I hope if this is ever a movie, Mr. Green retains some editorial control, because this is his alone.  Anyway, I hope the love scene would be pure and simple, as in the book.....Gus worried about his ""disfiguration"" and Hazel worried about mismatched underwear (truly teens here!).  I don't know, it just seemed  by leaving out the sexual ""play by play,"" Hazel/Gus retained a secret tenderness that even Hazel doesn't want to share with us.  This is just one example of Mr. Green's story-telling ability.  I may be purchasing some of his other works ...as he is new to me.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R36A817P8MR6A?ASIN=014242417X	Hazel's atypical attitude towards life takes away from the essence of this book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">From the very beginning of this book, sixteen-year-old Hazel states that this story is not the typical cancer story. ""The Fault in Our Stars"" is not about cancer; it is about enjoying the mere pleasure of being alive. I thought Hazel would fully embrace what this book is about. Instead, I was frustrated by Hazel's idea of seeing herself as a ""side-effect"" of life, rather than an active member of the world she lives in. Surprisingly, I preferred her friend and eventual lover, Augustus. Augustus was blunt and encouraged Hazel not to be ashamed of expressing how she felt about the people around her. Like him, Hazel did not know when her last day would be. Despite my discontent, I found it refreshing for Hazel and Augustus to express themselves so eloquently at all times.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RVI2LZZL27SWH?ASIN=014242417X	A heartfelt yet funny contemporary!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I have been warned by so many people about how sad TFiOS is and how I need to have a box of tissues beside me throughout the whole book because I will need it. However what they failed to mention is how humorous, how full of life the characters were. The female protagonist, Hazel Grace has thyroid cancer, she has to carry and is connected to an oxygen tank with her all the time to breath. At the opening of the book you see her depressed and a hermit. Only leaves the house when she is forced to go to the cancer support group. However one day she meets Augustus Waters. Augustus Waters was everything good in a fictional male protagonist. He was funny, spoke his mind, was smart, and loved with no limits. He had osteosarcoma (for those who don't know, that is bone cancer). His right leg was prosthetic but his larger than life personality overshadows his handicap. I really loved both characters whole heartedly. Augustus and Hazel Grace were just two kids struggling through their sickness and finding true love in each other.<br/>Some quotes from the book I enjoyed to the point that I labeled them are:<br/><br/>""I told Augustus the broad outline of my miracle: diagnosed with Stage IV thyroid cancer when I was thirteen. (I didn't tell him that the diagnosis came three months after I got my first period. Like: Congratulations! You're a woman. Now die.) "" - Hazel Grace<br/><br/>""What am I at war with? My cancer. And what is my cancer? My cancer is me. The tumors are made of me. They're made of me as surely as my brain and my heart are made of me. It is a civil war Hazel Grace, with a predetermined winner."" - Augustus Waters<br/><br/>I also loved how supportive Hazel Grace's family is. Her dad and mom broke my heart the most. They were so caring, so motherly and fatherly and it was definitely a nice change from the usual dysfunctional family you see in YA books. I am actually a person that cries at any tiny sad thing but surprisingly I didn't cry during TFiOS. I honestly don't know why, but I think it is because I was already prepared for the worst and it being a book about two cancer kids falling in love? it was inevitable that one of them, if not both would die (that is not a spoiler alert!). I think I am just becoming immune to sad novels, I read too many sad books them!<br/><br/>The only thing that I didn't enjoy as much was the amount of pages spent on An Imperial Affliction, which was a fiction novel about a girl with cancer that Hazel and then Gus love, and the need for both Gus and Hazel to find out the true ending. I just felt it got a bit draggy, especially when the author of the book turned out to be such a jerk. However other secondary characters like Isaac, whose his humor left me gaping because they mostly revolved around making fun of his own cancer and his 'impeding death'. I would laugh and then catch myself and think ""How could I laugh at his situation?"" but I'm guessing that is exactly why any person with a sickness feels disconnected with others, We treat them as if they are fragile flowers, watch every word we say, and stay guarded, but while thinking we are protecting them, we are making them feel as if we are becoming more distant from them. Which is why TFiOS felt more real, because Hazel, Gus, and Isaac all had cancer, so they could speak their minds, joke, and make fun of each other and their sickness without restraint. I believe that was the beauty of the book. The easiness of the characters and the absence of a mouth filter in all the characters! I really recommend this book to all contemporary fans, and if you're scared you're going to cry your eyes out, I say go for it, this book has officially made me a John Green fan.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2MWLNDOFW84S9?ASIN=014242417X	Not quite what I was expecting	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Sometimes, after I finish a book, I feel like I should really have liked it more. But something is just off, or one of the characters annoys me too much, or some scene that I think should have been really powerful was lacking. For me, that was the case with The Fault in Our Stars.<br/><br/>Don't get me wrong - I thought the idea behind it was really interesting and something not often touched upon in YA. Kids with cancer and how they deal with it, how their loved ones try to cope, how to live when you know your time is limited, and how hard it is to feel normal when there's nothing normal about you. A romance doomed from the start in one way or another, especially since this one was born in a childrens' cancer support group. Hazel was diagnosed with Stage IV thyroid cancer at age 12, and has only lived to age 16 by a medical miracle. She's kept alive through a concoction of oxygen and chemicals, and pretty much only attends this support group to make her parents happy. And I know she has cancer and probably has some sort of right to be as cynical as she is, but she kind of drove me crazy at the beginning of the novel. I didn't like her attitude, and I wasn't really sympathetic to her case. Which kind of makes me feel like a terrible person, but just because you have cancer doesn't really give you a right to be like Hazel.<br/><br/>And then there's Augustus Waters. In remission, his outlook on life is so much brighter than Hazel's. And then they end up together, and Hazel becomes a little bit more likeable. Her thoughts become more relateable, and she actually kind of starts to act like a 16 year old. I almost wish parts of the book had been written from Augustus' point of view. It definitely would have been interesting to see what he is actually thinking and to see if he's really as happy as he seems.<br/><br/>I really liked the unfinished book that Augustus and Hazel bond over, and how it leaves so much to be imagined by the reader. If I ever read a book like that though, I think I would be just as confused as Hazel. And as much as I hate epilogues most of the time, I feel like an epilogue would have been appropriate. But then the book wouldn't have the same impact, would it? Peter Van Houten, the author of said book, was probably my favorite character. He seems so put together in his correspondence with Hazel and Gus, but he's really a huge mess. And I love how his story relates so well to theirs.<br/><br/>The one thing that really bothered me was that when the inevitable happens and one of the characters dies, it's really not at all what I expected. The reactions of the other characters, save for the immediate family, weren't what I thought they should be and I was actually really disappointed. I think maybe it was just too predictable. Which, in a case like that, I guess it kind of is... but still. The whole situation was really predictable. A couple other plot points bothered me too, and although the pacing was alright I felt like it was difficult to measure the passage of time.  Maybe that was intentional. If it was, well done!<br/><br/>Overall, I really did enjoy The Fault in Our Stars. I just had a few problems with it, and for that, I give it a 4/5. I would recommend it to someone looking for a serious YA novel about things that really could and do happen. A good story with decent characters, and a love story without a happy ending.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2RGKLVWPWU758?ASIN=014242417X	Apparently I missed something?	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I waited a little bit and let the ending sink in before I started this review. I have been terrified to read this book because I was so afraid it wouldn't live up to the hype. Luckily, it did. Here's why: it's a young adult book. I see exactly why I see pictures of it and quotes all over blogs, because Green wrote exactly for the tumblr generation (not isolated to tumblr of course). Their speech patterns, their phrases, their ways of thinking. It was uncanny.<br/><br/>I liked it. I loved Hazel, she's snarky and cynical and doesn't let anyone talk down to her because she's sick. I also liked Augustas, because he's very smart and isn't afraid to be exactly who he wants to be. Neither of them let being sick define them, but they do have moments of weakness. Green showed every phase of being sick, from being able to cope one day to screaming and cursing the next, to not being able to feel anything. It was beautifully done without making a mockery of itself. Plus, I always appreciate witty sarcasm.<br/><br/>But- and I write this knowing it is contrary to almost every review I've seen on the book, don't hurt me- it got a little preachy. I mean there was a little nugget of wisdom on almost every page, definitely in every chapter. At moments I felt like I was being beat over the head with insight. It wasn't ever forced, there was just so much of it. I felt like I could never really appreciate each quote because there was another one so soon afterwards. My brain didn't have time to take it all in.<br/><br/>However, I did love it. It was quietly tragic in the way that Never Let Me Go was, you know one of them is going to die. It's inevitable. You're practically told by the fictional book An Imperial Affliction that the book will end without a real ending. Even so, you're still hoping it will change. You're hoping you're wrong and you'll be surprised and they'll live happily ever after. Of course that doesn't happen, but it doesn't stop you wanting it. Green creates a very real first love, all the sudden you're in love and wondering how you got there. It was beautiful.<br/><br/>I am overly critical because I over-analyze, and even though I tried to turn off my brain I can't. So I'll say I'm not a crazy fangirl about this book, I didn't cry (surprising), it didn't make me feel ""all the feelings"". But I liked it very much. I just don't know how much longer I can read young adult non-fantasy/sci-fi fiction without wanting more from it. What I would very much like is for John Green to write an adult book, because I think THAT would make me cry for days.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RK1K7E6SE1GH1?ASIN=014242417X	Skimming the Surface	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This was such a great idea for the book, and I think John writes very well. I just never connected. I think it was cute just not one of those books that I feel changed by. I'm glad I read it though.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2U2KF65IH9QWU?ASIN=014242417X	Sad, but the tears are worth it	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is the kind of book you are self-propelled to read non-stop until you finish.  I want to say I loved it, because there are so many things that are truly gem-like and they give you the wonderful, emotional feeling you sometimes get when you read really great books.<br/><br/>But you must be warned that this is a very sad story, with heart-breaking, sobful moments.  To be fair, there are also a lot of positive relationship moments.  Seventeen-year-old Hazel is dying.  She meets Gus, a bone cancer survivor, and they fall in love.  They have an intense courtship and they know they are short on time.<br/><br/>I think John Green does a great job portraying Hazel and Gus.  I have heard others say their conversations are too intellectual for teenagers.  I don't think so and I think he really captures the teenage intensity along with their heightened sense of the loss of time.<br/><br/>Although the story is written through Hazel's point of view, Green also shows us what it is like to be parents of cancer patients, and how they must prepare themselves for loss.  And he shows how Gus and Hazel cling to each other and their friend Isaac, and try to have normal teenage lives.<br/><br/>There are unexpected plot turns and surprising characters, and the story is nicely tied together, with some open endings to keep the reader thinking.  I think the ending is uplifting and makes the best of tough loss.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RNTWW7LM55N9I?ASIN=014242417X	Unique take on a love story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I really liked this book.  The love story was cute and believable and had a tragic element to it.  (Curse you, cancer!)  My only issue with this book is that the writing/dialogue seemed a bit sophisticated.  The characters are supposed to be teenagers but they do not sound like teenagers.  Their dialogue often sounds odd because of this.  However, other than this I enjoyed it.  It is one of those books that you can't put down.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R21KEUYDAQPQF3?ASIN=014242417X	A Moving Cancer Book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I really enjoyed reading this novel. At times it was really sad, and at other times it was humorous. It is about Hazel, a sixteen year old with cancer. She is resigned to dying sometime in the near future, despite a tumor-shrinking medical miracle that has bought her a few years. But then, at the Cancer Support group she meets Augustus Waters, and finds herself drawn to him. Suddenly she does not want to die at all! It was a very thought-provoking book, and like I said, it had funny and sad moments. There is this fictional book, An Imperial Affliction, that both Hazel and ""Gus"" really love. The Imperial Affliction sounds like it would be an interesting book to actually read. Maybe John Green should write it under the pen name Peter Van Houten (the supposed author of the book.) It would be cool. But anyway, I loved this book. Hazel doesn't really want to get involved with Augustus because she knows that they will have no future, as she is probably going to die-she'd rather hurt him now than later with her death. But they do sort of get involved. It is a bittersweet kind of romance. It is a sad novel, but not without hope too, and I liked it, if not LOVED it.<br/><br/>*You can read all of my book reviews at my blog,[...]*</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R33BN9U0FC1I4G?ASIN=014242417X	Well written,but more magical realism than fiction.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read this book after hearing several reports from friends to read it. It was well written and had some excellent poignancy. I cannot believe that the characters could be the ages protrayed because most young people, even ones who suffer from illness and pain, do not think as deeply or as articulately as these do. The ""Fault"" lies in the author believing them to be far ahead of their time and place.<br/><br/>Other than that, the book is great. I teach stories about death and dying and this is a modern representation of an old tale, told with modern lingo and given new packaging which for many will be a first time experience of this sort of story.</span>"

We sometimes forget that adolescents with cancer are still dealing with all the stuff that goes along with being a teenager and this book put it into perspective very well. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone.</span>"

I found the two main characters very entertaining, they were interesting and for myself fairly relatable. The story is great and heartfelt. John Green has a way of making very real topics feel very real. This book gives a wonderful look in the mind of a cancer patient. Great for teens and adults. Good book but it didn't really wow me. Most people really love it, so give it a read.</span>"

4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RVZ971WX4S906?ASIN=014242417X	Paves No New Ground But Still Enjoyable	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">In this day and age, the line between artist and art is a blurred and confused one. Publishers encourage their authors to have an online presence--and no author has been more successful at that than John Green, with his popular YouTube videos and millions of Nerdfighter followers. It is nearly impossible to separate THE FAULT IN OUR STARS from its hype, should you even want to do that. In between or in spite of the cancerkid plotline, TFiOS is distinctly John Green, and that comes with its pros and cons.<br/><br/>16-year-old cancer patient Hazel has been in and out of hospitals for years. The routine of her daily existence, however, is drastically shaken when she meets Augustus Waters, in remission and more fascinating than any one young man should have the right to be. Hazel struggles with whether or not to let Augustus into her tenuous life, and in the process goes on the trip of her life and just might find someone who makes life worth living.<br/><br/>Pros: TFiOS is chock-full of John Green-isms. His characters are, in a sense, himself; he is his characters. Theoretically (or technically) this is true for all writers and their characters, but the public John Green himself is already such a character that Hazel, Augustus, and the others just seem like extensions of his online persona. His words in their mouths. They're far from being bad words, no, but they're very recognizably his, and readers who perhaps were trying to appreciate the characters and the writings on their own may find it a slightly more difficult job.<br/><br/>Cons: Having grown up reading John Green--that is, having read each of his novels within a few weeks after they were released--it's interesting observing the development (or lack thereof) of his subsequent novels. That John Green is good at what he does is no secret. He's funny, he's insightful, he's energetic. But he could've done more with Hazel, Augustus, and the others. Instead, his characters and stories seem to stall at ""witty"" and never progress to ""profound."" Events could have been expanded into something bigger and more meaningful; instead, things were rushed or felt simply like vehicles for comic relief.<br/><br/>That being said, I still felt that THE FAULT IN OUR STARS was a great read. I always enjoy reading about smart characters, and there were plenty of moments where I nearly jumped up and ran around to find someone to show a particular quote to. We need more YA like this, this combination of humor and intelligence and interesting thoughts. TFiOS being a cancer book, there are certain things that we readers can expect over the course of the story, which dampened the end effect for me somewhat.<br/><br/>The TFiOS reading experience brings up the interesting dilemma of whether or not we readers should consider our relationship with and knowledge of the author when reading his or her book. How you enjoy THE FAULT IN OUR STARS, then, sort of depends on your context. On its own and compared to nothing, it's a pretty good book with its funny and sad moments. Compared to YA lit as a whole, it's rather respectable and reason for encouraging more books of its kind. Compared to The John Green Persona, however, it's a mere middling extension of what he's already good at, and doesn't do anything new.<br/><br/>Doesn't mean, though, that I didn't enjoy it.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2OFQ2PXXTN2HY?ASIN=014242417X	Ehh it was just okay...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I enjoyed The Fault in Our Stars but I did not love it. Hazel, the book's main character, has terminal cancer and much of the book is about her journey and struggles. It's also filled with many funny and vibrant characters, but I found Hazel very difficult to relate to. Overall, I found the characters to be very dynamic and wise beyond their years because many of them are cancer survivors. On the other hand, the characters, especially the gorgeous Augustus, were not very believable. The beginning of the book started a little slow for my taste, but after it picked up, I could not put it down. The combination of a love story and struggle for survival is sure to keep you turning the page. I recommend this book for an uplifting, sad, suspenseful, funny read.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3OJNG40U3117A?ASIN=014242417X	Sad and heart breaking, but overall beautiful. A Must Read.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Read my full review at (...)<br/><br/>Finally! Now I know what the loud buzz was all about. It was a meaningful read and this book was amazing. I may be one of the few who wouldn't give a perfect 5 star rating, but it doesn't mean I loved this book any less. So for the mean time, let me tell you what I loved about this book.<br/><br/>Okay. I'll skip the summary.<br/><br/>When I started reading the first few pages, I found myself REALLY laughing out loud. And people around me looked at me and asked ""what happened? what's that all about?"" I'll tell you.<br/><br/>This book is hilarious. Amazingly funny and crazy and quirky. I loved how the author wrote it. And yeah, I was laughing all the time because of the choice of words which the author used in narrating the story. It was a very good laugh, and I loved it. And that's what makes this book great and unique--the way it can make you feel that way, and still it makes you feel aware that something is wrong and something scary might happen. And I was right. I was laughing in many parts of the story, and by the end of the book, I felt like my heart was broken into pieces.<br/><br/>Hazel Grace and Augustus were no perfect couple but they're perfect for each other. Their disabilities made them. What they're lacking made them whole. I think that's the best thing I got from this book. To live a grand life even though it seems that there were no reasons to do so. Hazel Grace and Augustus Waters might be physically weak but they are two strong characters all through out the story. They are crazy and fun to read about. You'll love them both, plus you'll love Isaac, too. He's the amazingly funny friend of Gus and Hazel, who is blind and dumped by her ex-girlfriend. It was enjoyable to see their journey as they experience how to love, be loved, to live and die. It was amazing how the author crafted great characters that made this book very entertaining.<br/><br/>What I loved most about the story is how it made me happy and sad at the same time. It felt good to laugh over a book and then cried over it afterwards. I guess there will never be enough explanation on how this book made me feel. It was hilarious and yet heart breaking. Tragic but beautiful.<br/><br/>Don't be afraid to read The Fault In Our Stars. Yes, it is an emotional read and you might cry over it (make sure to ready some tissue), but it was a fun, crazy journey of two characters who have meaningful fight with cancer, who are trying to enjoy every cancer perks they were given, who wishes on Genies yet aware that the world is not a wish-granting factory. It's a story about a boy who lived grand and who rides a roller coaster that only goes up and a girl who is willing to ride the roller coaster with him. Read this book, meet these amazing characters, know what An Imperial Affliction is all about, and experience Amsterdam.<br/><br/>I have my reason why I gave it a 4 coffee cups rating and I will tell you why. I was impressed by how the two characters talked about life and cancer and everything, but sometimes it was too much for me to easily get it. Some dialogue were a bit hard to understand (or maybe I'm the one with the problem *wink) but other than that, this book is great in every way.<br/><br/>It was sad and heart breaking but over all it was beautiful. You should read it. I'm glad that I DID. This is the first book by John Green that I've ever read, and surely it won't be the last.<br/><br/>""You don't get to choose if you get hurt in this world...but you do have some say in who hurts you. I like my choices. I hope she likes hers."" - Augustus Waters about Hazel Grace.<br/><br/>P.S. I've never really liked the word ""Okay"" until now :)</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1L1Z44ZV2O25M?ASIN=014242417X	no major faults	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars seemed to travel on an inverted roller coaster. This I due to a less interesting and at times slow moving middle section. However, many of the moments and dialogue in this section are key to the final points the author makes and the occasional dull passages are worth this message. Augustus and Hazel speak very poetically and philosophically, with a somewhat larger than average vocabulary for teenagers. This, and their at times cynical attitudes, can be overlooked given their age and situation.<br/>Being a fan of John Green, I was a bit nervous to see his often light-hearted backdrops replaced with a dark and looming sky. The serious setting leaves the reader looking for an inspirational and heartwarming story, which Augustus, Hazel and others do not disappoint to deliver.</span>"

The only complaint I have were a few style things that bother me, but they are all a personal preference thing and I don't want to say what they are because I don't want anyone that reads this to notice the quirks more than they would have on their own.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2IJ94RD4EII30?ASIN=014242417X	Good	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I got this book the day it came out, anticipating that it would be great, and I would say, instead, that it was very good. I liked the way John handled the topic, and I loved Hazel and Agustus, and them together, but I don't think that it was all it could have been. The two things that caused me to give it 4 stars: the dialogue and Peter van Houten. For a book that was supposed to be about potentially real characters with cancer, their dialogue was not real at all. I know brilliant people myself, and not a single one of them, nor any adults, have ever constantly had conversations like Hazel Grace and Augustus. I have friends with which I talk about my perspective on philosophical questions, but I do not constantly do this brilliantly, and neither do they. /No one/ talks like this, and I like to be able to suspend my belief when reading a book. Peter van Houten was the other thing i didn't like about this book. Everything about the character seemed fake and contrived, and him showing up at the end was just not believable and more awkward.<br/>Despite this, I would certainly recommend this book. It was touching and well-written, and I think both the most successful and ambitious of his efforts so far. Also a complete tear-jerker.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2UTWZSX3BMJNI?ASIN=014242417X	Powerful	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is an incredibly powerful story that rings true to anyone who has dealt with cancer in his or her life.  The quotable parts are too many to mention and the tears just kept coming for the last several chapters of the book.  Although there is plenty of sadness, the tears for me were more about the reality of the situation and the way in which the author handled the subject.  My only complaint would be that both Hazel and Augustus seemed too unbelievably articulate and clever in everything they said.  However, this is a minor complaint given the overall impact of the book.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RRRW6QOYICBKL?ASIN=014242417X	Excellent....and depressing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I bought this for my (early) teenage son and as I often do with well-reviewed books, I read it first.  I'm not giving it to him yet because he's really not old enough for it (maybe another year or two until he's mature enough to get it); it's very, very good and I think the characters are wonderfully written, but the central messaging is downbeat and intense.  I loved Hazel's ""voice"" and I think Green does a great job with a female character.  I have to admit that as a parent I was probably unduly distracted by the adult characters in the story, particularly Hazel's parents, who I thought were great.  The romantic scenes, such as they are, are incredibly, deeply, sadly romantic.  I'm not sure Green intended this or not, but I hope a significant take-away from this book, for older kids, will be how treasured children are by their parents--I can't get the phrase ""an annihilated parent"" out of my head, or the throwaway descriptions of Gus's parents gazing at him.  Anyway, I am certain I would have adored this book as an older teen but IMO it's too emotionally intense for the 11-13 set (who I'm sure make up some of Green's existing fanbase).</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2CMWB09JENV85?ASIN=014242417X	Not all life and death...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">One of the most frustrating things about this book is trying to describe it to someone else without them getting overly sympathetic about the main characters' health status. Although the characters' health is obviously a main theme throughout the book, I found that the most interesting parts of this book actually concerned the main characters' introspective views on life itself.  The author manages to weave various philosophical musings into the lives of relatively intelligent teenagers who have decided to accept their lives for what they are; and live those lives to the fullest!</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1Y1UCVAOE1E49?ASIN=014242417X	Great book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This was the first John Green novel I read and I could not put it down.  This book deals with teenage terminal cancer in a sarcastic and realistic way that makes you understand what it would be like to be in their shoes.  I could not put this book down and cried for the last 50 pages.  It was a touching, wonderful book and not what I had expected.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2FX6SJB7DO863?ASIN=014242417X	I picked the right book for her (she is 28) because she really liked it and read it quickly	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I saw the film (never read the book) but was very moved by the story. I purchased the book for my daughter, hoping that she would get involved in the story and do some reading. I picked the right book for her (she is 28) because she really liked it and read it quickly.<br/>Would strongly recommend the book, especially for any young adult readers.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3PADBSIA3IT52?ASIN=014242417X	captivating!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">What a wonderful story!  I tend to read books written for ""young adults"" because they are truer to the story itself.<br/>Despite the terminal nature of both lead characters illness,  you remained absolutely fixed to the story and I personally did not want it to reach its inevitable end.  The end was fabulous, although sad in its finality.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R34V83XQBM86IS?ASIN=014242417X	Very important book!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">A very readable and touching book.  A frank look at those with a dreaded disease and how they handle their burden.  Only youth could look at this with a sense of humor, as they do.  I am allowing my 11 year old granddaughter to read this even though it does have a slight intimate moment I think she will gain some real insight by reading this book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1G16KUFLE13QW?ASIN=014242417X	honest	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Have never known the intricate dance everyone does when dealing with the ""c"" word, both those that have the disease and those who are in the circle around them, or on the periphery. This was very revealing without being maudlin, sad but not a tear-jerker. The characters seemed to convey the reality of the disease with dignity, if that is possible.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R7IHAWEI2QO23?ASIN=014242417X	delightful romance	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I absolutely loved this book. I will probably read it again. The characters were genuine and honest. The story took me inside the teenage world of cancer and young love. The author's ability to inject humor into tense situations gave a refreshing outlook on this relationship. Treat yourself to an original perspective to a difficult subject matter.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RTWN5W2TJ4OB8?ASIN=014242417X	Loved this book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I had never read anything from John Green before and was interested to read this book when I saw a commercial for the movie.<br/>I'm so happy I read this.  I absolutely loved the story and now can't wait to see the movie.  I have also downloaded Looking for Alaska, also by John Green to my kindle and can't wait to start reading that book as well.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2T3K5IQQ5KDFC?ASIN=014242417X	Intelligent and beautifully tragic book of young love.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was a great read. The main character Hazel is a very intelligent young girl which makes this book also entertaining for adults. I loved the humor between the two young characters and even though you kind of know what will happen it still breaks your heart. I enjoyed this book 100% and read it in a day because I just couldn't put it down.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2OZE0C00BBIRE?ASIN=014242417X	The fault in our stars is a good read??	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The typical love story between teenagers is normally frowned upon by me but the perspective made you feel this was not an ordinary romance book. The book made you gravitate to each characters and conveys the dilemma, in hopes to find a silver lining despite the circumstances. This book is better than expected and will be recommending it to others.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R10C3SNKBUO8RA?ASIN=014242417X	Great Read....Bring the Tissues	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was fantastic. I had never read this author before, but heard a lot of hype about the book since they are making it into a movie. I wanted to see what all the fuss was about and I have to say that I'm glad I did. This book was beautifully and heart-wrenchingly written. Definitely check it out just make sure you have some tissues close!!!</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RJMUAEMJFCTHQ?ASIN=014242417X	A different kind of love story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read this on the recommendation of my years-younger cousin. Though essentially written for late-teens, I found the book completely absorbing. Full character development add into the teens-with-cancer subject was an astounding change in a teen love story. This time self-absorption had real rewards and consequences. Highly recommended for any age.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3684ZSKMF48M1?ASIN=014242417X	amazing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was such a beautiful work of literacy, it said all the words I've thought but could not speak and it gave me a different outlook on some things, which is what I am always looking for. Heart wrenching as parts were, it was beautiful and written perfectly. I would share this with those I love the most, it's too special to give to everyone.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R72YB5TIVL358?ASIN=014242417X	My husband has cancer	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">If you are living with a loved one that has cancer this book is a must.  You will cry, but it will help you.  It is written from a cancer patients point of view so you can have a better understanding of how your loved one is feeling.  Understanding these feelings are tough trust me this is the second time for us.  I found this book almost healing.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2DH767H93MHCN?ASIN=014242417X	All star recommendation	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Great writing<br/>My 11th graders read this recently, and John Gteen lived up to the rave reviews he already has received . Reaching the audience of young adults along with offering such a realistic yet sensitive look at  an unimaginable adolescence facing terminal illness requires a writer of superb skills, all of which Green clearly possesses.,</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2XYXO8884IGK1?ASIN=014242417X	TFIOS is an amazing book!! Perfectly brilliant!!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">A 5 star review doesn't do this book any justice. But sadly there's not in infinite number of stars up there. Jon Green has a way or making you think about life, death, and the meaning of love. this book had me laughing one moment and crying the next. Beautifully written!! if you've even thought about reading this book, DO IT. you won't regret it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R10MKZKY7D006J?ASIN=014242417X	My new favorite!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read this book because someone recommended it to me and I am happy they did. This is the first book that have made me cry. It was life changing for me even though it's fiction I hope that I can have a love like hazel's and Augustus. The things he did for her and came and just changed her life. This book is life changing for me. It's a must read!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1K2O5LRYQVLIW?ASIN=014242417X	TEARS	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is honestly one of the best books I've read in a long time. It's a bit on the cliche side, but the language in it and the whole tone of the book is refreshing enough to make up for it. I cried for about 7 years. I'm just now getting over it. I recommend this book to all the hormonal teenage girls out there who need a good cry. Read this book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2MF6PCV1W3DU9?ASIN=014242417X	An honest look at death	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The physical evidence of life after death is non existent. If you accept the resurrection of Jesus that is a matter of faith for us. We are left to choose then only how we live. Our two heroes of this story choose love as did the minor characters. Our foreign author missed the boat even as he tried to make cynicism logical. A good story for sure.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2GOBNZJDWT6A7?ASIN=014242417X	This book was heartbreaking and amazing at the same time	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Grab a box of tissues! You are going to need them! This book was heartbreaking and amazing at the same time. I loved reading the love story between Augustus and Hazel. This was a great book about Hazel's struggle with how she views life and those around her. I love watching her grow as well as change throughout the book. This was an amazing book!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2WKY34HBP7VBW?ASIN=014242417X	Never cried this much during a book!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Omg!! I swear the last 20 minutes of the book,my face was soaked with tears. It really makes you open your eyes and realize that we are so blessed to be us and to have family and friends that love us. I would definitely recommend this book to EVERYONE,(and there is some bad words B.T.W) But all in all it was touching and inspiring.<br/>By,Elaina</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3NZLJS6VGMOK?ASIN=014242417X	Better as it goes along	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">If you can stick with this book through the first several chapters, you'll have difficulty putting it down.  Its perspective on a profound subject is refreshing and entertaining, feels genuine.  The quality of the writing feels uneven, but there is plenty worth reading here.  I hope John Green, unlike the boozy author he depicts, keeps producing.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R194TTIYKDB3F5?ASIN=014242417X	Compelling and honest	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Kept my interest throughout and managed to choke me up a few times.  Great literature?  Perhaps not.  But it was a compelling slice of life/coming of age story about some kids who are too young to have to face the challenges and choices that life has dealt them.  Compelling and honest; Green treats his characters with dignity and respect.  Bravo!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2KLKBRDOZJU33?ASIN=014242417X	this book is not just for tweens......well developed characters, great story line. Enjoy!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">well written book that  provided me with the real life youth perspective of how living with cancer becomes all consuming to you and your family......the characters were well developed and all you could do was feel empathy for them as if you actually knew them.  It was a great summer beach read and I'm glad I read the book before seeing the movie.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RK1Y21KP8WY4C?ASIN=014242417X	The fault in our stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This was a great book. To be honest I didn't particularly think the writing itself was great, but the concept and characters and how they thought (the variety of the characters I guess you could say) was what made it a great book. It's a nice time consumer, and is definitely worth giving a chance. I guarantee almost all will have a liking for it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1WGK3PUENHB2Q?ASIN=014242417X	Oh. My	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I cried. I'm crying. This book as not just touched my heart but fully hit with a sledge hammer. I love the use of logically thinking that Hazel uses. I love how bluntly forward Augustus is. This book wouldn't be as touching and sad with out Augustus and his character. That you John Green for writing a book I will always remember and never forget.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3CLGJV21E0923?ASIN=014242417X	Book was even better than the movie.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is one of the saddest stories I have ever read, however, it never feels like fictional story.  I connected with the characters and felt their emotional pain with them.  It was very well written and I could read it over and over again and I believe I would get more from the story each read.  It is not just a love story, but also a life story.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2VS8YZ2VVVUKL?ASIN=014242417X	One of the best books i've read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I really don't have any words for this book but I'll try: beautiful, heartbreaking, funny, endearing, tragic and lovely.  The story of Hazel and Augustus was so well written and although terribly sad, painted a beautiful and realistic picture of their reality.  Definitely have the tissues on hand to read but you won't be disappointed when you do.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Well written, interesting twists that added interest and kept it from being predictable and maudlin.  My only negative was the unrealistic vocabulary and thought processes of the teens.  Then again, maybe coming to terms with their shortened life span gave them the impetus to grow beyond a normal teen's abilities to comprehend such deep thoughts.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2BS9BREKOFOAW?ASIN=014242417X	Awesome Book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I really thought everyone was making too big a deal of it- my expectations weren't too high but 10 minutes after I bought it I was glued to it. I'm about 100 pages in now, and it's great. John Green really knows how to capture your attention, and thoroughly disperse sarcasm and thoughtfulness simultaneously which is a necessity in the story plot.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R26K0CXS2PCALR?ASIN=014242417X	amazing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I have never cried so much reading a book. Absolutely amazing, sad, well written, sweet, and so much more. I bought the book and read it in 2 days so that I could go see the movie which I know won't live up to the book but I can't wait to see it none the less. This was truly one of the best books I have read and that says something, I read a lot.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3U1MQ9AF25GSE?ASIN=014242417X	Absolutely Amazing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book makes you look at falling in love from a different perspective. This love story makes you wish for a happy ending when in real life, happy endings are hard to come by. I'll be honest: I only started reading this book because I saw the movie trailer but I'm happy I finished it. This look makes me appreciate the love I do have in my life.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2OG1ZUB9HM09Q?ASIN=014242417X	The best book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I loved this book. it was funny and extremely sad. I feel like it was left unfinished, what happens to hazel? how long does she live for? does her mom get her degree? does Monica ever contact Isaac? lol I feel like hazel asking van houten about an imperial affliction. it was a good read and I suggest it for everyone. I'm excited for the movie now</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2QV2MF1VLDKKE?ASIN=014242417X	Keep your tissues ready	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Although  I was forewarned through other reviews that this was a multi-hanky book, I was not prepared for the depth of genuine emotion this book garners.  You genuinely care about the characters and cheer their triumphs and lament their setbacks.  This is one of the few books I would reread, even though I already know how it ends.  A masterpiece!</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RLOLN2G6QZUB2?ASIN=014242417X	must read.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Loved everything about it, mostly that it was beautifully written. Too often, novels are good stories, but not great works of literature, or they are crappy stories, with pretentious, over worked, writing. That isn't the case with The Fault In Our Stars. This book is fantastic, all around. Finished in 1.5 days, and was sad to do so. I'll miss it!</span>"

Both my 13 year old daughter and I read this book simultaneously, and the book provided a great opportunity to discuss the topics of life, relationships, and end of life issues.  It was a great bonding experience, and I would recomment that if you can share reading this book with a loved one, you should do it!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R24VOFTDBD3F56?ASIN=014242417X	For the younger audience.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I purchased this story because of the incredible number of 5-star reviews.  I found it to be ""average."" I attribute the great reviews to the ""young adult"" audience for whom the book was obviously written. This older reader finished reading it through sheer will power. It's depressing rather than entertaining. Who needs depression?</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RT7NQ8H7CJVJ4?ASIN=014242417X	Best Book I've Ever Read!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I rated this 5 stars because it deserves every single one of them. There aren't to many books out there that can hit you hard emotionally for more the a chapter and actually make you look back on life and what you think you know and question it a little bit. This is one of the best books I've ever read and am with out a doubt going to read again.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1FMC1XPKPL4LP?ASIN=014242417X	Somewhat overrated	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I enjoyed this book, but found it fairly predictable.  It was pretty obvious from the very beginning what what going to happen.  I had a hard time connecting with the two main characters because they seemed somewhat pretentious and unbelievably intellectual for a couple of 16 year olds.  A decent read, but I probably won't recommend it to others.</span>"

I am not the one to cry easily. but I asked her to tell me a book that will change my life and the wah I look at things. this was the one. by the end I was crying enough to fill the ocean, I recommend it to all around 16 into romance and are not afraid to cry at the beautiful words written by John Green</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3GY3K1GZGQ5IZ?ASIN=014242417X	Good story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Another teenage/young adult fiction story.  I read it because someone recommended it to me and I wanted something ""light"" to read. The reading level was light, but the subject matter was not.  It was a good story, and makes me appreciate the ""infinities"" of life and love the people bring to me, even when they don't stay very long.</span>"

After i finished it, it took me forever to find another book to read because it was so good that i couldnt find a book to follow it.

Moving and intelligently put together. I have never read a book this good and I have read many many books. It's hard to find a writer that can actually make you feel every word of the book. The happiness and the pain. I would recommend this to anyone and everyone. It's simply a beautiful story.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1Z7ML05XCUQZU?ASIN=014242417X	Thought provoking	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">When I set out to read this book, I had no idea of what I was getting myself into. Here I sit, wide-awake at 2:30am with a garbage can half filled with tissues. The author wrote such a wonderful story, and one that I'll be sure to inspire many more to read. Now, I just need to figure out how to get some sleep with so much of this book on my mind!</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RVQ6P7VSV2T06?ASIN=014242417X	different take on terminal illness love stories	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I liked the characters' sort of irreverent comments on their illnesses, both their own and those of other characters.  The parents, even though they played a small role, were  not as deep or interesting; the main characters were more real.  I also thought the Dutch author was a bit overdone, or if injected earlier could have been more developed.</span>"

Young teen book.  I read because my 12 yr old wanted to read. I feel that maybe if under 14 a parent should read first before a preteen.  The emotions involved are very deep and it needs a certain maturity to handle the content.  My 12 year is very mature . You may read and say my preteen can't handle this.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1MJP1ZISWU8DS?ASIN=014242417X	Excellent and unique	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I thought this book was really good. It kind of gave me a perspective on how people with cancer go about their lives, and what they think about. It's also taught me (once again) to not take the things I have for granted because there is always someone out there who has it worse than me. With that being said I would recommend this book to anybody</span>"

A couple times I wasn't sure if I could get through this story narrated by a teen whose life journey includes living with terminal cancer.  She meets the love of her life, who helps her finally ""live"".  but I can't give away the end.  You'll have to read it for yourself.</span>"

At first, I didn't think I liked it just because the story was pretty boring (nothing really happened) but then, the moment Augustus died things got really good. Almost as if the whole story had gained its logic at that point. I feel like this book left a big mark on me, even though in the beginning I thought it won't.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I have to admit, I've laughed and cried throughout the entire book in 8 hours, I couldn't get enough of reading, of turning the page and of crying.

This is a great deal more than just a love story, it's a story of humanity, faith and a language of that every living day should be blessed.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3IY2DAYHBJNS5?ASIN=014242417X	It was good	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This was a good book. I expected it to be more due to all the hype being made about it, but it was a book that did keep my attention and I completed reading in one day. It was a typical story in the plot and you knew where it was going, but the difference is the frankness the author spoke about the conflicts that help make this story what it is.</span>"

The innocent love and loss was so heart wrenching. I loved it from start to finish. I read it in just 2 days. I cannot wait for the movie.  Me my daughter and a box of Kleenex will be center row.

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3MWO1S7LJT5QM?ASIN=014242417X	John Green Addresses a Very Tough subject	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">We are all going to die. We learn that pretty early in life. When and how it happens does not have the same predictability. Cancer is bad enough but childhood cancer seems the most cruel. There don't seem to be many greeting cards for people who are dying. Get well cards just don't do it. This book addresses it very gently without being maudlin.</span>"

Such beautiful thoughts and relationships within the pages, this is something everyone should read. Too often people take everything for granted when there are people who are thankful they were able to breathe today. Hazel Graze is an amazing and strong young girl with a powerful story to tell.</span>"

It was enjoyable and a pleasant read. It's very sad but oddly, I wasnt sobbing, as I've heard others have done. I do like a good cry when I read.<br/><br/>This book is written on a very basic level and probably for teens. My teens wont be reading it, though.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R87Z5MBFNAB8C?ASIN=014242417X	Must read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Turn on the tears I haven't watch the movie yet but the book is awesome I felt everything they felt and the bad part is the real world is like this if not worse.

He has a beautiful writing voice that I find full of insight and endless desire to inspire and impact his readers. I found myself unable to put the book down on numerous occasions.

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1D6CXDTTKZORV?ASIN=014242417X	An unexpected journey	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I had missed all the hoopla about this book. I had seen advertisements for the movie &amp; decided that I wouldn't bother reading it. Fortunately Bookbub made me an offer I didn't refuse long before the current adulation. I ENJOYED this book so much. It was poignant without being sappy,  charming not maudlin and I found myself thoroughly engrossed.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1KMPBOHZ6M3BW?ASIN=014242417X	It is easy to read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">It is easy to read.  The beginning moved slowly until their dreams became possible.  From that point it was gripping, then became heart breaking.  It is a compelling story of young love and the pain of a life cut short.<br/>You will be shocked by  the twisted life of an infatuation of a friend.  Your heart will break but you can't put it down.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RIW3GGVQ270YZ?ASIN=014242417X	Perfection	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I fell in love with book during the first few pages. I don't even know how many times I've read it but I know I cry every time. In my opinion there is no harmatia and very few corrections to make. I only wish that we learned about Anna's mother, the Dutch tulip man, Peter Van Houton, and and all of the other important but no so much characters.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RMLW66Y02EB5S?ASIN=014242417X	I Will Never Stop Crying	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I would recommend this to anyone that is wanting to read a beautiful story about true love, humor and devotion despite staring into the face of terminal illness.

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">One of the best books I have ever read! I simply love it!  Smart, funny and crude. Quoting JG himself: “Sometimes, you read a book and it fills you with this weird evangelical zeal, and you become convinced that the shattered world will never be put back together unless and until all living humans read the book.""

I will forever wonder while rereading this book. it'll haunt me for the rest of my days, because I'm only 11 so I can't travel the world, find love, all while having cancer.

Because of this and ""Hunger Games"" I am reading more young adult literature, a genre I have ignored for more than 30 years.

The book was a really hard, emotional read.  I was continually going through ups and downs.  My heart broke for both the main characters, yet at the same time I was thrilled for them.  Yes this book has received a LOT of 5-star reviews and it deserves every one of them.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2Y6GC6GOM5RG6?ASIN=014242417X	Great, but a tear jerker	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">That this book will make you cry probably isn't much of a surprise.  I'm an adult, but purchased because had seen so much great press about it, and couldn't beat the Kindle price.  Glad I did--thought it was fantastic.  Character development was great, plot was believable, it was sad while being realistic and not overly maudlin.  Worth reading.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RHLLIIX0SNCYG?ASIN=014242417X	Not quite what I expected	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Don't get me wrong, I think this book wad very well written. I like the characters, especially the always charming Augustus Waters, but I was hoping the dialogue would be less sappy considering the extreme conditions of the main characters. The ending was sweet but not what I thought would happen, so I wad a little thrown off by that I suppose.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R8119GKC9TIWP?ASIN=014242417X	Funny and sad	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Usually when a movie comes out, I want to read the book first. I did that in this case. What a beautiful, sad, and funny book all in one. I adored the characters and their interactions with each other. I cried at their battles with cancer, and laughed at their banter and love for life. This book is wonderful and I am the better for reading it.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R18NNRK3CBX2I1?ASIN=014242417X	Life is for living.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is a very touching book.  I thought at first that it might be depressing, but as I kept reading, it is beautifully written and almost inspirational.  I was impressed with the thinkings of teen agers and death.  I truly enjoyed it even though it was sad, but still there was a sense of humor in their attitudes.  Very good book for all ages.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3UFZQT1ELUBSC?ASIN=014242417X	Great read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book made me think about life differently. About perspectives of others. Of the journey of people here<br/><br/>Although I believe th as t teenagers don't often have thoughts as existential and deep  as the characters in this story do, it is a well.written book. The characters are well.developed and interesting. I'd recommend this book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R13RWXK2ZFA2ZJ?ASIN=014242417X	This book is funny, gritty or touching at any given time	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The three main teenage characters have cancer but the book is not solicitous.  These teens insist on being treated as normally as possible, daring to be different in the face of normal teenage conformity.  This book is funny, gritty or touching at any given time.  This 'young adult' book transcends the genre as I'm an 'old adult' who liked it.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RLZWEBY62RM6I?ASIN=014242417X	Sad and beautiful; a MUST read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I loved the entire book.

Not just cancer, but cancer striking teenagers who are in the prime of their young lives and in love.

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1RQ68N7KHB92K?ASIN=014242417X	A heartfelt love story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was absolutely wonderful. This is coming from a guy into suspense, mind games, and novelty. The beauty of this story comes from the wit and sophistry of the characters, the wonderful allusions to other literature, the well versed plot, and an amazing presentation of the important things in life. Love, memory, comfort, and journeying.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is a very quick read with great dialogue and character development. The plot can be a downer at times. The often biting wit will have you laughing in a snap. This book handles difficult and mature subject matter with humor and love. I am really looking forward to seeing the movie that has been made from this book (due out next year iirc).</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1YC15F58M0KGZ?ASIN=014242417X	The characters ring true.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The daughter of some friends of mine had osteosarcoma, lost a leg and ultimately her life.  She was younger than the kids in this novel, but the insights and emotions are true (if a little... optimistic).  Not every family survives this tragedy, and if you've ever been around or part of a family who has gone through it, you can understand why.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1UXV0S0DESUWW?ASIN=014242417X	Great book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This was a great book that I finished in a day and a half. It was well written and made you think about life. The only thing I didn't like about it was that I thought it moved too fast. I felt like I didn't get a chance to become as attached to the characters as I would've liked. Other than that the book was fantastic and I would recommend it.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R82Z5JMZHL3CR?ASIN=014242417X	Too Good	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">John Green has hit upon humanism in its grandest teenage form. The scariest part of this book is his universal accuracy. Not just those with a touch of cancer have such thoughts and dreams, fears and hopeful enlightenments. Thank you Mr. Green for your reminders of the aspirations of being young. Luckily, the aspirations don't always go away.</span>"

But, somehow, I always went back to this book. So, I think I finally realize this book is not about how to leave a :Mark: in the world but how to be who you really are. Just yourself.<br/>I would recommend this book as it stays with you, even when you are done reading it.  C</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2055YZD7J7BIZ?ASIN=014242417X	Fantastic read, albeit masochistic	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I didn't expect teenage dialogue to be so eloquent given the books' contemporary counterparts in the YA dystopian world, and the existentialist themes were all so beautifully woven in such a neatly packaged pseudo-nihilistic modern day tragedy. Fantastic! And now naturally concerned that the movie won't live up to the brilliance of this book.</span>"

I enjoyed them both - in your mind you still see the characters, live their lives with them – be happy and sad.  It is a great story which makes you thankful for the many blessings in your own life.

Hazel Grace and Augustus Waters will have you laughing AND crying even when you dont want too. On top of all this the philosophical ideas not only get you thinking about life and how you live it but also about we perceive those who are 'sick'. A must read for any and every one.</span>"

I was very glad I used the kindle app because the word choice in some parts consisted of words I had never heard of. Great job with access to the dictionary. Overall, the book was incredible and I highly recommend it. Off to see the movie tomorrow!</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2FR7K8O2BSBPP?ASIN=014242417X	Memorable, to say the least!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The story takes you through the many levels of the heartache of cancer, for all involved. Although, not a love conquers all story, it is a story of how the role of love, in all of the characters, gets us through even the most heart breaking of circumstances. Yeah for love! In the end that is all that matters, the knowledge, that we are loved!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R14PKAU0KN0GTZ?ASIN=014242417X	Loved it!!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I did not want to put it down!  I work a full time job and go to school full time and I had this book read in 6 days. Just like the book the two teenagers read, this story ends without us knowing exactly what happens to everyone. That is the only bad thing I have to say about this book. I will definitely be reading another book by John Green.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2YZSWUXX5RNLS?ASIN=014242417X	Great Read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I only read it becaused my granddaughter recommended and said she was a hot mess reading.  So, I thought how sad could it be.  OMG! I couldn't stop crying at the end.  John Green did such a great job in developing the characters that I felt I knew them personnally.  Loved the book.  Now we'll see the movie with a box of kleenex and no makeup.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RK394FLMURCSG?ASIN=014242417X	For Young and Old	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This wonderful book about teenagers facing cancer is about love and the challenges of facing a terminal illness. In spite of the subject matter it is surprisingly uplifting and affirming.  This is my teenage granddaughter's favorite book, but I enjoyed it as much as she did.  The mysteries of death concern us all, but love carries us through.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2I3GTDWXEK7Z0?ASIN=014242417X	Touching	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This movie changed how i view all people suffering with a disease. I felt so connected with both Hazel and Augustus. This made me cry not only because of the story but also because in that moment i pictured it happening in my life. What an amazing novel, i will always remember this one. I can't wait to see the characters come to life in June!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RKQPOXTDVJGRH?ASIN=014242417X	It was alright	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Pretentious. If I could describe both Hazel and Gus in one word it would be pretentious. The thing that got me with the book was its failure to be realistic. The characters speak nothing like teens would at all. Rather they speak nothing like barely anyone does. this and a few other things took away from the book for me. Overall it wasn't bad</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2LIOVRJQ6SF3N?ASIN=014242417X	Must read book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">What a wonderful book. I would definitely rate it as a must read. It was funny, insightful and moving. It's not very often that you go from laughing to crying and back again in one book. The author gives a thought-proving perspective of the reality of being a young adult with cancer without being morose or trite. I highly recommend this book!</span>"

I couldn't put it down! It made me cry like a baby at times, even when I read it again I cried a ton! Even more than the first time I read it even! The book didn't go how I thought it would, but it is definitely my favorite book and I will definitely read it a few more times!</span>"

It makes you want to be a better....more compassionate, understanding, active, person whether a spouse,sibling, friend, parent,aunt...</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R390D4YIJJ72W6?ASIN=014242417X	a very moving book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Very moving book, but not too cheesy. Loved the narration and the characters. Tough topic but dealt with immense grace and reality. Glad to recommend it, if you are in the mood for a different young adult story... these characters have more courage than any Catniss, as much as I loved the Hunger Games.  This is more real hence more painful...</span>"

I cried... it's extremely sad and the one thing why I thought why it was sad is because the whole story is true...these things are actually happening to people, and it's sad. I wish I was able to feel their pain, just so I could really see what pain is like... I don't know, anyways it's a good book. I give it over 5 stars...</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2IVR8CIQ8U2DN?ASIN=014242417X	As bittersweet as a story can possibly get...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">''My thoughts are stars I cannot fathom into constellations'' - Augustus Waters said, and rightly so because reviewing a book as beautiful as this is a Herculean task.<br/>This book is sure to make the reader laugh out loud at the well-timed, knee-slapping humour and also shed tears for the protagonists- Hazel and Augustus. A wonderful read!</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RNR359Z4CHYPT?ASIN=014242417X	I love these characters	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">One of the things John Green exceeds at is dialog, and because he is a best selling/award winning novelist, he has good readers.  I know this review is under the book, and it'll be a wonderful experience reading it.  I just want to also recommend the audiobook.<br/><br/>I can't remember when I laughed and cried equally in a book.  Fabulous.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RP3DHXHFZ67A3?ASIN=014242417X	it's hard to say...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">It's hard to express how I feel right now. The people felt real and the emotions were too. I knew deep down I needed to read this book and I know there are still many people who need to as well. Life is fragile and short...and this book touches that sensitive subject (death) and makes you think about it. Pain is really truly meant to be felt.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R266H8RADZTKTC?ASIN=014242417X	Tragic love story. There's not much to say as everyone ...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Finally read it. Just in time for the movie. Which I may bring 2 boxes of tissues to. Tragic love story. There's not much to say as everyone already knows what it's about and I'm probably the last person to read it! It was good, happy, sad, poignant. I enjoyed the few laugh out loud parts. I enjoyed Isaac's eulogy. I liked Isaac's character.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R21VYFI2WOWRW?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">It took me less than two days to read this book. The minute I began reading of Hazel and Augustus, I fell in love; I couldn't stand to put it down and not discover how their love transpired. Throughout life we are bombarded by life's obstacles.. Good and bad.. I only hope that someday I find the person willing to share my scar until the end.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3S537IRJFQY3O?ASIN=014242417X	5 Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is one of those books that makes you cry a little, but mostly makes you laugh even though you feel you shouldn't. It feels honest, and isn't simply a disease story or a mushy romance, but something that combines a little of both and gives it a unique flavor. I can see why this book is so popular, and is worth its current 2.99 price tag.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R11COBOVFSSXM9?ASIN=014242417X	regret that i spent hard earned money on this awful book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">had no clue this was a teen novel.  i mean...  Hunger Games was written for teens but that trilogy was brilliant.  this book felt like it was written by a clueless teen.  the writing is drivel and trite!  took me forever to get through it.  probably a good read for teen girls whose hormones are raging, but...  not very good storyline at all!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R31JTQ1DHMG02?ASIN=014242417X	Life's obstacles	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is the best book I've read all year; and I've read more than a few. As Christmas just passed, this book put many things into perspective. Overall, people are resilient, remarkable and stronger than we think when faced with life's obstacles. Some say you can't love until your a certain age and I say read ""The Fault in Our Stars.""</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3D8LIBKWR27IG?ASIN=014242417X	Fantastic	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I was at first unsure if I should read this book, since I'd read a couple other cancer novels before, and I wasn't sure if I wanted to go through that again. However, this broke the molds I was used to with its intelligent and witty voice. I went into it knowing what happens, due to blabby mouths, but it didn't matter. I was still engrossed.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1LY8294T74SN?ASIN=014242417X	you will fall in love with the characters	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Hazel, Gus, and Isaac are so real, and appealing, you fall in love.  This is a wonderful story about three young people with cancer, and how they deal with it themselves, and with and for their friends and families... At times so sad, at times, funny.  I loved this book and will always think of folks with terminal disease in a different way.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2VNR2KRZJYBI0?ASIN=014242417X	worth it	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Late to the party, but I'm glad I read it. Having lost my mom to colon cancer, and being a breast cancer survivor myself, I  was prepared for the sadness, but not for the humor and a little adventure. The characters' choices were motivated and understandable, though not similar to mine, but every journey through a terminal illness is unique.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Depressing.<br/><br/>Can't read cancer books about kids...<br/><br/>I'm not going to break down protagonists or analyze the literature... 6 chapters in and I just didn't care.

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1VXHUX1W3J0VP?ASIN=014242417X	Loved the movie--loved the book even more	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I've always felt most movies made from books have more ""life"" to them simply by nature of the story being performed. Not so with this book, and this is not to say there is any fault with the movie. I loved the movie. So much so that I had to read the book. And reading the book made me love--and cry for--Hazel Grace and Gus even more.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RR60ZFCISZH?ASIN=014242417X	love it	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">My only recommandations is that you dont read it when you are around other people, specially not people you dont really know. you will cry your eyes out throughout the book, and people will judge nad think something is wrong with you. Until you explain what you are reading, then they are understanding and will probably start crying with you.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RDIH9NT5LU3F6?ASIN=014242417X	Maybe great for the middle school age, just not for me	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read the book after listening to a radio segment about it. I think I may be overly expecting, and forget that it is a book targeting middle school age folks. The story is not bad, but the longer I read, the more check out I am with the middle school age lines. I have enjoyed quite a lot of coming of age books, this is just not up my alley.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R8J3IVVZ5CVQY?ASIN=014242417X	A different love story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This was a good story, I read it in one sitting.  It showed that teenaged hearts are all the same whether they are in healthy bodies or not. Everyone wants ""a life"" and everyone wants to be loved, not pittied.  It also shows the need to have your ""own life"" and not live your life for someone else no matter how needy they are.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R392VB6WLM4F6G?ASIN=014242417X	A must read for all fans of the written word	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">John Green masterfully penned this story. It brings humanity to those who many times are expected to have none, and brings emotional connections to the characters in the novel and the reader; Augustus, Hazel, and Isaac are my friends.<br/><br/>John Green writes like he speaks on vlogbrothers and crash course--with voice, humor and purpose.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3MSR4XPUD1YDF?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in Our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Such a refreshing book! The characters were fully developed, each with their own distinct personality and mannerisms. The plot flowed well, turning into an amazing story that left me in tears. Trying not to give any spoilers, but that ending, it was so unexpected and my poor heart didn't know what to do. Will definitely recommend to friends!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1AY1XEVR019ZT?ASIN=014242417X	The title is not just a title, but a notification of what's going on.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This was a very emotional book. I enjoyed reading about the romance that Hazle and Agustus shared for each other. When Gus dies it actually made me cry. I enjoyed this book, it shows readers what some people go through in their lives. People might not understand what they are going through or are the exact opposite. (Sorry about my spelling)</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3LXPW5AIWBH9Y?ASIN=014242417X	Well written and thought provoking	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I decided to read this after discovering the vlogbrothers, so I came in with a bias toward liking The Fault in Our Stars. It is certainly better written than most US I've read. It is a book that feels like it will get better when discussed. Most of the themes won't be too surprising to fans of the vlogbrothers, but there are a few surprises.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2COR01BK02YD4?ASIN=014242417X	A ModernTragedy	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">It was hard to walk way from this book until the last page.  It was sad yet joyful.  It was a story of pain and suffering for two young cancer patients who experienced meaningful love as they tried to understand the meaning of their lives and their impact on the world.  .This is a thought provoking story that will touch the heart of readers.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3SWL8R77XMSTK?ASIN=014242417X	I CRIED!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is amazingly written and it is such a beautiful story. I love that it is not the typical cliche love story where, as the line in the trailer says, everything can't just be fixed with a love song. I was so emotional during this entire book and i cannot wait for the movie. A must read for any lover of romance and beautiful literature</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3VI321DPDPIN7?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read it in less than 24 hours. What an amazing story! So well written and honest. I especially enjoyed the humor and realistic outlook each character revealed. I love walking away from a book and feeling like I got something in return. Cancer being such a bitter subject, John green really took this one home for me. Thank you for this gift.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1TI1OOGUJ2SQK?ASIN=014242417X	Honest love story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Green managed to create a story of love and loss that felt so sincere and honest. Hazel and Augustus were a match unlike any others in today's top reads. Green manages to make a reader feel as if they know each character personally, and feel connected to each through out the book. This was an excellent book, and one I would highly recommend.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1OXM2I43JL2XH?ASIN=014242417X	Best book I've ever read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars is by far the best book I've ever read. It's beautifully written and is just a beautiful story all together. It's beautifully heartbreaking and makes you want more and more. The heartbreak is perfectly balanced by the love in the story, and I would highly recommend this story to anyone looking for a good, tearful read.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3RJ5BVBLNH0V3?ASIN=014242417X	AMAZING	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book blew my mind. I've never had the pain or struggle of knowing someone close to me with cancer, but this book took me into Hazel's world. The characters were so endearing yet so blindingly human that I feel as if all of them are my friends now. His thoughts were incredibly insightful. I would recommend this book ten times out of ten.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1PPNGJW05YR1O?ASIN=014242417X	not bad, for a young adult book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">My students were coming into class with this novel. I decided to read it. At first, I was not very interested. I have to admit, I put the book down for about 6 months, when I was halfway through it. I picked it up again last night and thought I'd give it another shot. I'm glad I did. The second half of the book is far better than the first.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2AN8TCEZX3QN8?ASIN=014242417X	nice little love story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Quick read once you get started, not a crying you eyes out sad story but I nice story about two young people and what love meant to them in eyes of having something horrible like cancer, their sarcasm is pretty funny throughout the book... Kind of wanted more at the end just like Hazel wanted more from the book she talks about in the novel.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R252NHJ4AJYX6Q?ASIN=014242417X	BEST GIFT EVER	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I have listened to this book on Audible and have always wanted to own a paperback version of it. The story is amazing and I hope to collect more books by John Green. A fan of mine just purchased a hardcover version of this for me. I am absolutely thankful for having kind fans. Now I can enjoy this novel even when I am away from electronics.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RFFHKS8LG54JO?ASIN=014242417X	Dont buy the book...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I didn't like this book, it made the main character sound very annoying. She seemed childish, but the plot line was alright. I don't recommend buying this book.<br/><br/>But I loved the movie, I actually cried during it. I saw the movie then read the book. Maybe if it happened the other way, I would have felt differently about the book???</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2T9M975ZP5ENC?ASIN=014242417X	Life is a Blessing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The book was very thought-provoking, especially as I have a love one suffering with an awful and fatal disease, Scleroderma (Systemic Sclerosis).  Those affected by the suffering of loved ones might find the perspective in the book reflective.  While we cannot change the ""fault in our stars,"" we can live our lives so others benefit.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2VLOD20F2KTKC?ASIN=014242417X	Mixture of sadness humor and love	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">What I enjoyed the most from this book was the mixture of sadness, love, delight and humor!  The blend was done quite well.  The romance -as unlikely as they come- was indeed magical.  There is a bit of a star like quality in this book after all.  You do feel floaty and bubbly even though the ending is sad.  How does the author do that?  :)</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R21OIL6NLFNRY8?ASIN=014242417X	Wonderful love story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The writer knows how to tell a story that keeps the reader captivated. Learning more about the challenges of those with cancer was an extra benefit in reading this heart warming story. Praise to the families and friends who endure the pain and suffering along side their loved one.  I recommend this book to readers who enjoy romantic novels.</span>"

The way it was written. It made me think more about what you do in life. How to appreciate now. This has all been said before I know but I liked how the characters thought and felt. I'm going through a death in my family just like a lot of people, this book helped. I don't know why.</span>"

4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1V08XTRE2IFXT?ASIN=014242417X	The Most Amazing Book You Will Ever Read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars teaches so many lessons and is an amazing book. It is based off a true story so its very pure. It is not a book about cancer, or about a healthy kid feeling bad for a child with cancer. It is not a happy book, but thats what makes it so intriguing. It's the saddest/best book you can read. I recommend it from teens up.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3W4ESXJLPYZ4L?ASIN=014242417X	A great, easy read!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was very well written, engaging and quick to read.  I chose it without reading a description, given that it's at the top of so many book lists.  It was definitely more adolescent than I anticipated, but good nonetheless.  This is a great book for teenagers!  I'm a teacher and even some of my resistant readers couldn't put it down.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RSD6HASPB28VB?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in our stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read the Fault in our Stars by John Green. It is amazing, and great for all ages. The main plot of the story is there is this girl Hazel with cancer, and she meets this boy Gus. They go through so many ups, and downs. They make a lot of choices in life. This is the most addicting book ever. You will not regret it if you decide to read it.</span>"

Written in a very conversational tone and easy to get through. it's a good story, but SUPER sad. i knew the premise of the book when i started it, but it was still sad. You know ultimately what's going to happen though so it's not a huge surprise. This is a good book — just very sad because it's about kids with cancer.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RJJ2ROV5UHHCU?ASIN=014242417X	A true romance novel	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This was a great book. The fact that Green made cancer part of the story was very cool, now when I look at people I ignore it. Just like this book did. A true romance book. It did sound like real life, the encounters they had, the ups and downs. It mentioned about life being a roller coaster. This book went with this motto. Very good book.</span>"

It was entertaining,sad,and sadly relatable, even without such life experiences. The fact that it was about people so young made more provoking than if it were about middle aged adults.  I cried and was depressed for days after.  This generally means it was a good book.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Well written for the YA crowd, adults, cancer kids, parents, and humans. It makes you feel a range of emotions and the characters have a real depth to them. I finished it in 2 days and thought about it for several days after - to me that is a great book. If I can't put it down and then think about it more once it is done - it gets 5 stars.</span>"

At first, I thought it was a cheesy teenage romance novel.  Once I got past the first few chapters, I realized it was something more.  I really like John Green's writing style.  He created a book that was both thought provoking and entertaining.  It was much better than the movie.  Of course!</span>"

I have been reading non-fictions because most of the fictions I have read have been duds. This book brought back my faith in the fiction novel. It is intelligent and witty.

A combination of love, laughs, and pain. You never want to stop reading it because it's so filling. It fills every empty part you may have.

It has a fascinating plot and message that seem to play off of one another perfectly, and the writing pulls at your thinking in just the right ways. Definitely a good read that isn't afraid to be brutally honest, in the kindest way.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3JPMSAZR6Q5B1?ASIN=014242417X	not just okay	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is far more than a love story. I understand that these people, although fictional brought forth feelings that I never thought we're possible for a person to have for unreal persons. Anyway I just want to say that I love this book (present tense) in every single aspect and I hope that those who chose to read it feel the same way.</span>"

Upon buying this book, I fell hopelessly in love with it. This book put me on an emotional rollercoaster which has no restrictions or regards for its passengers. With smeared mascara, I recommend this book to anyone who wants a good read and a different perspective.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3GR94KPMRVUQE?ASIN=014242417X	Good YA fiction	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book started out strong - ""snappy dialogue""- and I do see it's value as YA fiction.  I just felt it got a little slow as the story progressed.  The ending seemed a little rushed and predictable.  With that said, I would still recommend the book for teachers and parents who are looking for a vehicle to start a conversation with youth.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RLREMRO80VQYN?ASIN=014242417X	Not just for young adults	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Although this book is recommended for young adults, there is joy in reading it as an adult. The language is intelligent, the characters are people you would want to interact with and the plot line is intriguing. This should be on all school's summer reading list because it demonstrates the strength and perseverance in children and adults.</span>"

I thought this book was very well written &amp; I had a hard time putting it down.  I loved Hazel &amp; Augustus &amp; the way their relationship evolved.....just interesting &amp; fun.

Although I had to put it down a couple of times (due to public crying)....I loved it!! The kind of story that makes you open your eyes and say, ""My problems are really very, very small. The characters in this book offer us drama, comedy, and romance. Highly recommended by myself.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RXW34KQL3UK5K?ASIN=014242417X	A Contemporary Version of Camus Works	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Certainly a fascinating read. It kind of reminded me of a contemporary version of works by Camus. Many philosophical questions were raised and debated. The best part for me were the characters. This book makes you feel what they were suffering. A book that makes you think - much deeper than something just entertaining. Very well written.</span>"

It's one of those stories you can't help but put yourself in. To be empathetic for them. I couldn't put it down. I had to know what was next. I had to see where the story was going. The way it was written made it easy to read too. Hands down best book! Can't wait to see the movie!!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R96LMGJBRHRZA?ASIN=014242417X	Loved it!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">What a great book. Really makes you look at life differently. I couldn't help but cry. Like Hazel I can`t help but think about what happens after. What happens to her, her family, Isaac or Gus` family. It`s so sad to walk through a world taking the simple things for granted· NOT realizing our days are limited. This book touched my heart.</span>"

On the contrary, the book gave  me comfort - It provides a unique view of life  and after life, not only from the point of view of someone who is dying, but the same person's point of view of being the one left behind. Very touching.</span>"

I fell in love with Augustus before Hazel realized her affection. I didn't believe my friends when they tried to force me to read it, but I am so glad I did. The emotions and details are amazing. All I can do now is read it again and again and anxiously wait for the movie.</span>"

I loved the story so much I found myself looking up some of the fictional aspects of it (I.e. An imperial affliction) and being a little sad when I couldn't find it. It's pretty easy to get caught up in this book and I too like Hazel wish it was a little longer or a sequel....</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2MYQ3P1TM4A3K?ASIN=014242417X	A really good story that starts halfway through the book.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The first half of the book is a mess of pretentious musings from a very intelligent author talking through very intelligent characters. The story comes alive when the author steps aside and allows the characters to talk and tell a fascinating drama. Skip to the part where the characters start talking about a trip and enjoy the following.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R10XSAGMUJH3PW?ASIN=014242417X	A piece of art	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is beautiful. The writing is superb and the story is unique. This book is not one that has been churned out of the factory of modern literature, it is a rare and valuable piece of art. The character development is enough to sweep one off her literary feet let alone the poignancy of the plot itself. Simply put, I was blown away.</span>"

This book, to me, describes so many people who battle terminal diseases (cancer or not). There's always that question of what life means...

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Enjoyed the book-ish but in my humble opinion I believe the book is widely overblown and doesn't profoundly state anything deep and worthwhile in the long run. It does somewhat romanticise cancer which I believe too be in poor taste. However I will give credit that John Green is a master at marketing to young adolescents for his content</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1TERXX2Z8YL1X?ASIN=014242417X	This was a quick and easy read.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">A little Cheesy and juvenile, but once you get over that, the language is entertaining.  Interesting perspective (from 16 year old girl with cancer) thought out in 16 year old language.  I found myself wanting to find out what happens next, enjoying and caring about the characters and enjoying the story.  This was a quick and easy read.</span>"

Even tho' I'm 71 years old, I can still enjoy such a lovely tale about two young loves w/ not much to look forward to except for each day they have together.  These young ""Kids""/young Adults taught this Gal something about living life to the fullest.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R15IEQ0K3PMF6L?ASIN=014242417X	It rings true.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I would recommend this book to both young adults and ""regular"" adults. The author portrays the challenges that the characters are faced with and their reactions to them (feelings &amp; actions) in a very believable and non-saccharin tone. There are little adventures with triumphs and defeats that keep the story moving to the inevitable end.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RFG6NN8G3DNUR?ASIN=014242417X	Horrible writing, rushed story.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Beside being dramatic and involving a ""love"" story, I do not understand the hype about this book. The characters were unrealistic, the story was rushed and lacking detail, and the writing downright awful. It was like ""Twilight"" with cancer. There was so much potential for this plot, but John Green crushed it. I hope the movie is better.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Recommend this book for everyone from teen to eighty. The characters take us on a journey living their best lives while dealing with terminal cancer.

I had a general idea of what the book was about but it turned out to be so much more.  I laughed and I cried as I turned the pages.  It is one of those books that you can't put down until you have read every word.  It was beautifully written and would recommend it to anyone.</span>"

Although it ended almost without and ending ironically. I'm a guy reading the book after a week of harassment from the GF.  Not going to lie I cried once. One time. No all  I'm waiting for is the movie to come out for me and the GF to go and watch. Wish me luck. Btw definitely worth the good read.</span>"

But I did laugh quite a bit. Don't get me wrong it was a really good book and I didn't waste my time on reading it, but it just wasn't my favorite unfortunately. I wish it was though. :/</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The power of sarcasm in dealing with unbelievable loses makes this work  of fiction more believable than if it were based on facts. This book is like fifty shades of love, life, death and grief, and life after grief. All of the shades completely intertwined by prose hilarious and heart wrenching at the same time. What an accomplishment!</span>"

Though I admit John Green's writing style sometimes went over my head. I kept thinking, ""boy, these teenagers know some big vocabulary words"". Though I disagree with some of the philosophy, it was a poignant story and also a hopeful one. Just like life. Joy &amp; Pain coexist.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2P711CNRXQN8E?ASIN=014242417X	Fast Read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book has a lot of great quotes in it. In some areas there are very eloquently worded thoughts, and in others it's pretty cut and dry, down to the point, real life language. On top of all of it, it's touching and thought provoking. Well worth the read. I have a feeling the movie is going to slaughter the book's fantastic atmosphere.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3GQPLW5QV4I7H?ASIN=014242417X	Cancer and Dying	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">At first I didn't want to read this book.  My sister in law had just lost her battle with cancer and it hurt to think about it.  As I read farther, I got a glimpse of what my sister faced with courage and dignity every day.  Hazel and Augustus wanted their lives to matter. Isn't that we all want?  Good book.  I'd recommend it to anyone.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RDDZOMLAI4RLE?ASIN=014242417X	Sage, Sweet & Sad	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I particularly wanted to read this book because it's been optioned for a film and I prefer to read the book before watching the movie.  Hazel and Agustus are wise and witty teens  who battle cancer and live lives that are full of hope, rage, wonder, pain and love.  This story was a fast read and one that I will remember for a long time.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2EQP4TSVWPP41?ASIN=014242417X	Very Moving	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I feel like I need a support group after reading this book. When you knowingly pick up a book about cancer kids, you know someone isn't making it to the end. And yet somehow I still got invested in these characters. It was so very good that it was simply okay. Anyone who has read this will understand why that is the greatest compliment.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R357B682Z4L9T4?ASIN=014242417X	Would recommend, although not light at heart	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">John Green does an amazing job depicting cancer through the eyes of teenages....it's a wonderfully sad book that makes you think , cancer does not discriminate.  While I could not totally predict the outcome, I knew it would not be a happy ending. This one puts you back in touch with reality.... Everyone is fighting some kind of battle.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1LTOFZ6SCFNQ6?ASIN=014242417X	Classic John Green	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is a classic John Green book. I was not disappointed whatsoever. It was a very quick and easy read about young love and death. John Green stayed true to form. If you're a fan of him, you'll be a fan of this book. The only thing I disagreed with was the ending. Wish it had an epilogue or one more chapter. Overall, it was very moving</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1RV8ZVZLNL8X?ASIN=014242417X	Read like poetry	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This one should be enjoyed by teens and adults.  It is a beautiful account of two teenagers who have different forms of cancer.  Their relationship develops... and no spoilers!  If you, like I was, are wondering what the fuss is all about, read it and see.  You won't be disappointed.  I look forward to reading more of John Green's work.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1I6S8QBSOKTOP?ASIN=014242417X	An unpopular parental review from a concerned Christian mother.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read this as a parent seeking to discover whether or not this book was appropriate for a 13 year old. The short answer is: no.<br/>Here's the long answer. I went in mostly on the lookout for profanity and sexuality. Which are present, but you're not beaten over the head with it and the one full on sex scene isn't graphic about the mechanics of what goes where. While I went in trying to discover if it needed to be stricken from our reading list on those grounds, I was sideswiped by a different issue altogether. Now we have a Christian home here, but we don't run it like the Spanish Inquisition and burn everything heretical. I think its great for kids to be exposed to different ideas and learn about all types of people. That being said, this was an alarmingly anti-christian tome. The main character scoffs her way through the whole novel about how anyone could be dumb enough to believe in such a thing as God. Towards the end she maybe softens a little in her zealously anti-God attitude, and leans toward universal consciousness. This wasn't your typical cancer book in that there was really no uplifting message to be gleaned, and nothing to be learned. It was just a girl with an awful attitude acting like a pretentious brat, and treating both the reader and the adults in the book like they couldn't possibly be smarter or have more life experience than her. So for my young teen, there's nothing to recommend this novel. As an adult if you enjoy reading about angst-ridden teenagers that constantly berate adults and can't see past their own bubble, go for it. For my Christian brethren, guard your hearts.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RLQMZ5DY04RS4?ASIN=014242417X	Shifted Perceptions	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This story leads the reader into deepening relationships,  ability to discover something good in spite of the odds, and the endurance of others.  There are stories within the story without accurate predictions.  When the book was done, I found myself still thinking about the main characters. This read prompted shifts in my perceptions.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1HGTFGN8WN25Z?ASIN=014242417X	Fiction so good, it feels like the truth.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">When I hear that a book is being made into a movie, I am not drawn to the movie, but the book itself. I want the genesis, not the regurgitation. If I love the book, as in this case, I hesitate to see the movie because I know that in some way I will be disappointed. Mr. Green, this is my circle within the circle to your work. Well done.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2V7MXPEXBZXOR?ASIN=014242417X	Very good read. Of course it is extremely sad	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Very good read. Of course it is extremely sad, but most people already knew that and you kind of expect it from the start of the book. John Green is an excellent storyteller and I really enjoy his books. They are always an entertaining, quick read. I feel like he really has insight into a teenagers mind and it is a realistic viewpoint.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3FC1GXI64F3V3?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was amazing! I picked it up And could not put it down. my point is everyone should read it. but if you are under 13 you should probably skip chapter 12. There is nothing important but it is very inappropriate. My mother read it and told me. There are also some bad words but nothing too extreme. John green did a fantastic job.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1QXT5E0QQAXCQ?ASIN=014242417X	You won't be disappointed...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I decided to take a break from my normal reading choices to see what all the fuss was about with this book. I was pleasantly surprised. I thought it started out a bit slow but continued on and by the 5th chapter I was hooked. If you are on the fence about reading this book I highly recommend you read it as you will not be disappointed.</span>"

I wish I could have known what happened to the main character in the end. It made me  think a lot about my own mortality and appreciate my health and my children who I love so much. I would recommend this book to anyone. It was a very quick easy read that will definitely leave an impression in my mind.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2RRZ0JN559WKT?ASIN=014242417X	A truly good read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">A roller coaster of emotions. Reading the last couple chapters felt exactly like Hazel described the pain she felt. Like ""the waves tossing me against the rocks then pulling me back out to sea so they could launch me again into the jagged face of the cliff, leaving me floating faceup on the water, undrowned"". A truly good read.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1G2G7NN4DTV8E?ASIN=014242417X	The Stars in our Fault	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Not much to not like.  A life affirming message in a story where you kind of know the ending.  The relentless march of cancer is not the story.  The story is how young lives, cope and except the challenges and defeats in their own special wacky world of teenage coming of age.  The author develops the characters enough to make you care.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RHFQGLVRLKXTE?ASIN=014242417X	An absolute summer read......won't be able to put it down....a one sit read.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is not for every one but once you begin reading you will understand that the book may not affect you but will be about someone you know. Mr. Green has a handle on the far reaching effects of this most dreaded disease. I think that because it relates to teens we tend to think of cancer as more of a tragedy to a life not lived.</span>"

I recommend this book to any one looking for a heart warming story and for some one thinking about giving up. Stay strong.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RSD46KEBMXMXV?ASIN=014242417X	Excellence	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Pure joy to read. The only thing is that it felt similar to looking for Alaska. But it was a new John green not like paper towns or LFA. I feel as if did not try to sympathise  for those with cancer but to bring awareness to how we treat them. I enjoyed this so much and I can only hope the film will do a a decent dramatization of this.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I've read a lot of books, but this is one of my all time favorites; that's not something I can say about very many books. At the end of this book, I cried. Not just a few tears either; I was full on bawling my eyes out. That's how good this book is. I promise you, unless you have a heart made of  stone and ice. You will love this book.</span>"

Green creates realistic characters that draw the reader into an emotionally riveting story that made me laugh, made me angry, made me cry. Although there are instances of foul language, the circumstances warrant it. I recommend this novel.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3T90IK1DLW1R0?ASIN=014242417X	A good little book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">some good books are about wonderful writing and some are about a wonderful story. this book is one of the latter for me. The fates of the characters is so compelling, pages turn and turn and before you know it the story is over. The writing was a bit pretentious and self-important, just like a teenager, which, I suppose, is the point.</span>"

I didn’t hate it, but I didn’t love it. I enjoyed the dry wit of Hazel, Gus &amp; Isaac, but the story itself never really sucked me in. It was pretty obvious how it was going to end, and by that point, I was only mildly interested.</span>"

Those circumstances are highly unlikely and even though the book is about death, it is too hopeful. Maybe I'm just a realist, but death happens. It sucks, but two people diagnosed with terminal illnesses falling in love, is as entertaining as it is improbable.</span>"

It's hard to make dying teens funny, but he pulls it off. I'm excited about the movie coming out, and I really like what John said in an interview about the difference between books and movies. Since they are different mediums, they can't be exactly the same, so I look forward to the movie with uncautious excitement.</span>"

It made me happy and sad and I want to read it again, hence the ""perfect"".</span>"

It completely took me in and made me really care about the characters. These people went about dying with dignity and made you understand that they weren't objects of pity but rather very human with human needs beyond the illness.  I really liked this story.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2W2U5XD5EC6Z6?ASIN=014242417X	A good read for summer, but bring the tissues.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">It was a good book.  Both my 17 yr old daughter and I read the book.  I myself liked the story, but was very drained after reading it.  I lost my father to cancer, so stories like these get to me.  As for my daughter, she thought the book was ok, although it was  somewhat of a letdown because of all of the hype surrounding the movie.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3S4FR7Y8SAWT4?ASIN=014242417X	Great book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">this book is a great read. It is well written and captivates you. the characters are likeable, I prefer Gus over Hazel just because he had a more lively personality but nonetheless the characters are relatable. the ending was a perfect ending for the love story, no happily ever after ending like a lot of books that are currently out.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2DKFHI5HI4EPM?ASIN=014242417X	Great Book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">What a tender love story.  One minute I was laughing and the next I was crying.  John Green captured the characters strengths and weaknesses very well.  This book gave me an inside look at the devastating effects of cancer, but also the strength gained in sharing with others suffering the same disease.  I can't wait to see the movie.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2S0K11UBAK7N3?ASIN=014242417X	Heartbreakingly Wonderful	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I'm an almost fifty year old Mom &amp; Grandmother, who read this book on the suggestion of one of my (grand)Daughter's 14 yr. old friends, after I introduced him to Relay For Life. I wasn't sure what to expect. I've lost a lot of friends and relatives to cancer, but have never known a teen who fought the disease- this was an eye opener.</span>"

Book makes you think about life and living. Days after finishing the book I still had it my mind. Not many books stay with you like this one does. It has highs and lows and will ultimately make you cry. A wonderful book that I would recommend to everyone!</span>"

This one works out but in a painful way.  Heartbreaking, almost too hard to read,  but read it, because you need to.  Good to read a book intended for and about teens without being dumbed down.  If anything, it's smarted-up.</span>"

Everybody was talking about it, which meant I already knew the storyline and how it ended. One of my friends got me this book and once I picked it up, it was pretty hard to put down. The storyline is great and easy to relate to. I would definitely recommend The Fault in Our Stars to someone.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3G99LRL6VFEN0?ASIN=014242417X	Meh	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I like it but, it needs to have more BANG in it I mean, it just ends like this review will end.<br/>(Like An Imperial Affliction in the book.)<br/>The book is a good book but it needs more of the awesomeness of the Percy Jackson books and the Harry potter series.<br/>It needs...<br/><br/>(Written by the account holder's grade-school-age daughter)</span>"

I put off reading it because (1) it sounded depressing, and (2) because I am a 45 year old woman who thought I could no longer relate to a teenage love story. I am not sure whether I cried at the end because I was so touched, or because I didn't want the book to be over.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3DYG3WQGBXDNY?ASIN=014242417X	Best/ saddest book in the world	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars is the saddest book you will ever read. There is one scene where the girl who has TERMINAL CANCER is the healthiest person in the room. The book is not just sad because of what happens, but it's sad because of how well it's written. It is such a good book and I recommend everyone, no matter what age, reads it.</span>"

It gives you all kinds of emotion and makes you giddy. Augustus and Hazel are a one of a kind and absolutely adoring. They make you laugh. They make you cry. They make you think.

Can't say enough about this book. It was amazing and so well written. I've fallen in love with the characters-all of them. These characters are so real.

I am older so I have read hundreds of books...it is rare for a book to cause me to think about how I am living my life the way this book did. I can't remember the last time a book had that effect on me.  A gift when it happens. Just a wonderful book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2QS4T8X946EKO?ASIN=014242417X	A beautiful story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">When I realized the book was about cancer, I wanted to throw it across the room.  Cancer has taken too much time out of my life.  Yet, something kept me reading, and I am so glad it did.  Wonderful quirky characters tell a poignant story with a beautiful message.  It should be on every Summer Read List for students as well as adults</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1AY6JA5YHY2ZS?ASIN=014242417X	A great read for most ages	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">As some one with a loved one who is affected by a disease, this novel touched me at a deep level. Parts of the plot make it seem very ""teenager-y"" which is appropriate because it is a young adult novel, but its frank and honest ideas on love, family, disease, grief, and loss are applicable for a 60 year old as much as a 16 year old.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RRRG1693EV88I?ASIN=014242417X	Not Just for Kids	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I thought this was a ""kid's book"" because the main characters are teens. Many of my high school students had read it, and I make a point to follow what they read so that we can discuss. Once I began reading, I did not stop. The dialogue is sharp and witty. I laughed and cried, sometimes at the same time. Highly Recommended!</span>"

But it is soooooooo much more than that. It tells a love and a comedy all rolled up in to one. I would recommend this book to someone that can handle the whole idea of cancer and it's evil, but loves a great story about two kids that fall in love</span>"

There were laughs along with heartache and tears. This has everything I look for in a book and I found myself rooting for Hazel and Augustus so much. The ending isn't what you imagine and I like that element of surprise. MUST READ!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3EF9AYVVTLXPY?ASIN=014242417X	The Unknown	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">There is something in this novel that is so true. Death of a cancer patient. I cannot express how lovely John Green expressed there lives in this book. I think he grasped something about them that no other author has grasped about someone dying from cancer. I cannot tell you what, but he has.<br/><br/>This book is worth the read.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2P7L7G1YWHJ3A?ASIN=014242417X	Love Story written by cancer	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Truly a beautiful book. I never looked at Cancer as something that is part of someone, like a limb. Just like Hazel says, Cancer just wants to grow. These remarkable teenagers have just accepted being sick and do not fight it. Loved every minute of this love story. My favorite line was that Grief doesn't change you, it reveals you.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Although this was ultimately a sad story, it left me feeling good.

Very sweet indeed</span>"

If you are reading this however, take heart because while you are a small person as well, this is a giant novel that will make you believe in things much bigger than you and that makes it successful. And you? That makes you privileged.</span>"

So I subscribed to his channel and bought the book. Not only does he have a great sense of humour, but he's one of the best authors I've ever had the privilege of reading the works of. John Green is a brilliant, and hilarious man.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1WKUU023X4AKT?ASIN=014242417X	BEST BOOK EVER	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This was by far my favorite book. John Green is my Peter Van Houton, just a lot nicer. I fell in love with this book slowly, then all at once. I love this book like how Augustus loved Hazel. I was as upset as Isaac loosing his eyes when the book ended. Honestly, there is no greater love story. John Green, I hope your reading this.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The book The Fault In Our Stars was HORRIBLY SAD, but excellently written, and has MANY fantastic life lessons...and honestly I loved it.

It's interesting but you already know what's going to happen before it happens. It was obvious Augustus was hiding something.<br/><br/>It's a sad love story.

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R22KKXIV81WWUO?ASIN=014242417X	Wonderful read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">John green has done a beautiful job telling the story of a young, tragic romance. The word selection is consistent with the intellectual rigor of the two main characters and is a pleasant challenge for some readers. The plot, while somewhat predictable, catches the reader off-guard enough to make it difficult to put the book down.</span>"

By far the most amazing book I've ever read and John Green is again by far one of my favorite authors ever!</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2VRS5QRUV7ASK?ASIN=014242417X	S Faulkner	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is as ""for real"" as it gets.  Green's acquaintance with life and death through the real-life heroine of this book is captured here so beautifully.  This is a book to be read over and over.  Not because one needs a good cry. Because one needs certain reminders that to love is the most important experience in life.</span>"

It's a good read but it doesn't really get more than that for me.  I would not read it again and while I wouldn't dissuade people from reading it I wouldn't be running to say the best book ever and you must read it now.</span>"

I found it on Amazon and did not know what to expect, but it blew my mind. For me it was a quick read, but heart-wrenching while staying authentic- I never felt like it was a book of fiction. It was as if this teenage girl gave me a glimpse in to what it was like to be living with cancer. 10/10, will read again!</span>"

They have true feelings of love, and just like all of us, want the chance to truly live. It's not a spoiler to say that there is sadness in this book. One figures that out within the first few pages. But, there is also a raw beauty in this book. It will not be one that I will forget.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This was the saddest, most humorous, humblest, sweetest book I have ever read.

I think some of it was a bit over the top, the way teenagers (smart teenagers) talk, I can't picture anyone talking like they did sometimes but then other times they seemed like normal teens.  Good book overall!!!</span>"

I also felt happy that they were able to share such profound love and humor.  Thank you for such a great read.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1QPKJXOHO2PRK?ASIN=014242417X	inspiring	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I found this to be a very thought provoking book. Sad, yes, but in knowing they were dying they lived and contemplated things in life that so many take for granted. It is a story of young love, but real love. They looked at the whole of life that people dying know they will never attain. Enjoyed the story and loved the characters.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2O0A7T3RRQ8VV?ASIN=014242417X	Comforting and yet distracting	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I loved the book, its own way shapes the readers perception on terminal diseases. The only problem I get is that I find it hard to believe 16-17 year olds would write or express themselves in such non-common use words. But then again, it's part of the charm of the book. I guess will never know what happened to the Tulip man huh ..</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1GS6XVZVC09QU?ASIN=014242417X	Buy. This. Book.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Or check it out from the library. However you get your hands on it, you NEED to get your hands on it. Without giving anything away, all I can say is that it was Brilliant! And tragic. And Hilarious. And such a fantastic read. I'm typically a very slow reader, but I couldn't put this down. I bought it Jan. 1 and finished it Jan. 2.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2NZRH38ENE401?ASIN=014242417X	Definitely a must-read for everyone of all shapes and sizes!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book has left me speechless. It will always be one of the best books I have ever read. The Fault in Our Stars keeps the reader hooked even after they've finished the book.<br/><br/>I won't be reading any other books for a while for fear that they won't live up to standard that I have after reading John Green's tragic story!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R156WFMR1PN2UB?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in Our Stars was beautiful	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book has brought me to tears, made me laugh, and has surprised me with every turn of the page. The Fault in Our Stars was beautifully written by such an amazing author and I am so glad I was able to read such a book that explains that life is not what we think. All I know is, some infinities are bigger than other infinities..</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RC5QP7ANLMKX4?ASIN=014242417X	Laughed through the tears	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I fell in love with Augustus Waters right alongside Hazel.  Two cancer patients, these two star-crossed lovers cope with realities that no child should ever have to face, but they do it with wit, intelligence, and honesty.  The characters were more truly human than some real people I've met.  LOVED it and laughed through my tears.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3M4PA3NJZ36U1?ASIN=014242417X	A great book!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The characters were young but with old soles. The author did a great job balancing their extraordinary wisdom, wit and insight with moments of just being an ordinary teenager. It sometimes takes me a chapter or two before I become fully invested in a book, but this book had me from page one. And now I'm left to grieve the loss :(</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RCIUSI1RZPMTB?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing! Must read!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is one of my favorite reads, and I've read well over 1,000 books. It's quirky, original, hilarious, and heart-wretching. Hazel Grace, the protagonist, shines with her personality. She is funny with the right amount of cynicism. Augustus is indescribable. You will just simply have to read the book to see what he is like.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RO9DXHCMLY1ZB?ASIN=014242417X	a book about making sense of life	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I know that this book is somehow advertised as a ""youth"" reading. I totally disagree with that. I think only a parent and a person who has lived a few decades longer, can really relate to the story. Maybe, I am wrong...at any rate, this book is wonderfully written about the important subjects in life, I am glad I read it.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RI7OJ423TP69V?ASIN=014242417X	My perspective:	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">True perspective of the struggles people face with love, understanding immortality, and the impact our lives leave behind to those around us whether they are battling a infectious disease or just stumbling thru this would trying to understand the infractions of life both good and bad.  This is a great book and I recommend it ALL.</span>"

This was a great book and I'd recommend it to anyone who likes funny, tragic, and remarkably entertaining stories. It is centered around a girl named Hazel Grace Lancaster who falls in love with a certain Augustus Waters and terror roller coaster ride of a relationship. It was a great read.</span>"

I am so happy I read it. I wouldn't put the book down. The Fault in our Stars just kept getting more interesting the more I read. ( I am trying so hard not to say what happens in the book.) I highly recommended this for people who like romance and drama. You should read this book!</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RG6XBCFSL7XGV?ASIN=014242417X	Great for young adults and adults.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is not just ""another cancer book"".  It shows a life with cancer, without self pity and with a good dose of compassion for others in similar circumstances.  I lost my mother to cancer, and this book helped me understand some of the daily efforts she must have gone through. Great for young adults and adults alike.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R12XTLMH9HSRQC?ASIN=014242417X	A very slow read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was quite interesting.  I would tell myself that it was boring me and then I would not read it for a while.  I would become curious because of the hype of the movie so I would read a little more.  I would only recommentd it if the reader has a lot of time and would LIKE to finish.  I found it a struggle but got it done.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1E1G57695EVWX?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Michaela<br/><br/>Once I started reading I practically finished  the book in one sitting.  I hate love stories but this was the first one I actually liked.  It makes our problems seem like less and it show a good perspective on a teenagers outlook on hardship and happiness.  I hope you enjoy reading this great and tragic novel.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R17KNY3I0T4R03?ASIN=014242417X	Can't say enough good things	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I saw this book on a list of ""must reads"" back in January and bought it even though it was targeted toward the YA demographic. I absolutely LOVED it. Interesting narrative style and the story was incredibly sweet. Couldn't put it down and would recommend it to ANYONE interested BEFORE they see the movie. Beautifully done.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1O81Q2ZMSIDML?ASIN=014242417X	A book worth reading	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Excellent read. Also saw the movie. The literal sarcasm and compassion mix is very believable. Loved the characters. The kids are wise beyond their years due to the driving force of cancer. They remain innocent and naive in the physical sense. As they find their way and find love they take the reader with them. Enjoy the journey.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RCF3VOB7U3JVO?ASIN=014242417X	Excellent story even for adults!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I finished this John Green read last week and I can not stop thinking about it. He's such a great writer with tons of humor as well as pathos. He develops his two main characters, Hazel and Gus, so well that you fall in love with these two brilliant, loving teens.<br/>I'm a 66 year old granny and I could read it again and again.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RTYB9IV27YUGA?ASIN=014242417X	The fault in our stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The fault in our stars was a great read and as sad as it was it was moving and inspirational too! i like the perspective they took to look at cancer and how the person battling should see it! As a family who is battling right now it really resonated! thank you to John Green for such a great story! can't wait to see the movie now!</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2GN7N3WXCKM2A?ASIN=014242417X	Just as good as everyone said it was.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The previews for the movie looked great, and I had only heard wonderful things about the book.  I wanted to read the book prior to seeing the movie, and I'm very glad I did.  It was a bit predictable, but even so you find yourself heartbroken &amp; happy at the same time.  Would recommend it to anyone looking for a good book to read.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RSPKI7KNQ81LA?ASIN=014242417X	Read it in a day.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I started this book at 9 AM and by 11 I was hooked. So hooked that by 8 that night I had finished the book. This is probably the greatest book that I have ever read. It was funny, happy, sad, and every other emotion you can think of all in one. John Green, you sir are a genius and I will now go on and read some more of your work.</span>"

Honestly it's not my usual book choice, but this book was a wonderful change.  At first, your not sure where it's going, but this is such a beautiful love story.  Well, not just love but life story.  I totally recommend this to anyone with a heart for ""real"" story telling!!!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R26OZJZ0OJSQZW?ASIN=014242417X	WOW!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book has given me a new perspective on the lives we lead and what we do with them. It's not that I've been sick, or lost someone that way but the way the author made me relate to the characters  he brought to life what it means to live like your dying and be able to accept the fact that it will happen to all of us one day...</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2FRM2C1ENTKST?ASIN=014242417X	Extrodinary	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book made me reflect upon anything and everything  I have ever thought .believed I.

The writing in so incredible and it leaves you with so many inspiring messages and brings you to think of the world you’re in differently.

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RVMH3AETQZSRN?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">If you are looking for a really cute book that will make you cry.. This is for you.<br/><br/>I've never been a writer or good at writing anything, so that makes my review not very interesting to read.<br/><br/>Its just an amazing book. Very well written. It was great. I loved it. I love John Green. Definitely read this book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3FCWTMUAT9O9H?ASIN=014242417X	Very good!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Beautiful.. My students recommended me that book. I'm not so much into teen litterature unless it's for the purpose of teaching. I read it because my students talked so much about it in class I could see they liked it and told them I'll read it. The book is good. I liked it a lot and I ended up seeing the movie after reading it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2548QX8DBIO53?ASIN=014242417X	FIVE STARS	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The book is definitely a MILLION times better than the movie-  you meet more amazing characters and know what is REALLY Hazel thinking. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to sit down and enjoy an amazing story that is easy and fun to read.<br/>Do not miss out on a perfectly written book that was blurred out by the movie.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1IBAT7UWLDFHA?ASIN=014242417X	Not a terrible book but I guess I missed the reason for ...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I was torn on whether to even purchase this book. Such positive reviews and then a moving so I figured I'd give it a shot. Truth be told I didn't care for it much. Not a terrible book but I guess I missed the reason for all the hype. I wouldn't be opposed to recommending this to someone for a summer read but I just wasn't wowed.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3ELX3QMZ9A91P?ASIN=014242417X	Good, but predictable.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I wanted to give this 3 and a half stars.  the book is better than 3 stars, but not worth 4.  I knew what would happen by the middle of chapter 3.  I also felt like the book nagged and carried on.  I couldn't wait get through it.  The book did improve in the last 3 chapters.  All in all, predictable, slow at first, and mediocre.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RMDSMTN4KVXTB?ASIN=014242417X	My thoughts	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Thus book is probably the best book I've read in a long time. I can't remember the last time I cried at the beauty of something. At the simplicity. Yet there was no simplicity at all. I would recommend this work of art to any and everyone. It's beautiful. In its own way. The kind of beauty you never want to forget, and never do.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2EJREURPE2BJN?ASIN=014242417X	Simply Amazing!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is amazing! I am very emotional so I could barely keep my eyes dry in the end. But I read this book in about 8 hours because I couldn't keep my nose out of it! My favorite quote was probably ""Augustus Waters talked so much he'd interrupt you at his own funeral."" This book was extraordinary and deserves the best rating.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R18E0TPI8JUHQE?ASIN=014242417X	FANTASTIC	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault In Our Stars was a wonderfully written masterpiece in which John Green used language that kept me as a reader involved and entranced in the story of Augustus and Hazel, as well as giving me a vocabulary lesson. I enjoyed every second of reading this amazing book and I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys reading. :)</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1VPXEW3FBM6ZS?ASIN=014242417X	Great book that pulls on your emotions, easy read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was a quick read, and was perfect for pool time lounging. If you want a good summer read, that has emotional turn and twists between two teens this is perfect. There is equal amount of love, live, and hospital time between the two characters. At times I had to focus on my breathing to keep from crying. Loved this book!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R18TSDR9JKL1A7?ASIN=014242417X	Great, Easy read...but have the tissues handy!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is a great love story of two kids with cancer.  It will make you smile, laugh and cry.  Be sure to have the tissues handy as you will probably get choked up a couple times!  After I was done reading, I still wanted more...more answers...more info on what happened to the characters, etc. I guess I sound like Hazel Grace now!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R38XWNB24VT3K0?ASIN=014242417X	I cried	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I am literally sobbing at 1:33 Am on a Sunday morning and can't even read the ending for five minutes without breaking down sobbing after every paragraph. I throughly enjoyed this book, yet it broke my heart and I mourn for Augustus Waters and Hazel Grace, the most beautiful love story I have ever read. Bravo, John Green. Bravo.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3OKCT3V7N5NRZ?ASIN=014242417X	a beautiful emotional journey	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I was almost afraid to read this book due to the subject matter... I didn't want to read a ""sad"" story. I will simply say this about my experience with this book; it was an emotional journey. Beautiful, thoughtful and evocative.<br/>This is my first review of the many books I have read recently - finally, I am inspired.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R12BWON7T3WNMG?ASIN=014242417X	This is a heartwarming realistic book about the best and worst things in life. Readers simply fall in love with the characters.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is a beautifully written piece that so many people can connect with. It shows the thoughts of any teenager,  and more so the teen with cancer.  Hazel was a beautiful reminder of my first adopted mom and I absolutely fell in love with each and every one of the characters. As did everyone else I know that read this book.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1SE3TGR8HZT16?ASIN=014242417X	BEST BOOK	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is my favorite book. This book brought me to tears. I thought this book was going to be boring, but I fell in love with  this book. I could not but it down. I kept wanting to read more. When I was near the end of this book I could not stop crying. This book moved me and made me even more thankful for everything I have.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R6PR68V427HOE?ASIN=014242417X	Just wow	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I can quite seem to fathom how the author wrote from the prospective of living life with death finding its place throughout you. It's so well written I felt that I was living inside of the story. Hands down on my top five list of favorite books. In love with the book and you would be missing out on SO MUCH if you passed this by.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R251MX11TVFA91?ASIN=014242417X	A thought provoking, touching book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I don't usually like the young adult novels but I enjoyed this book. The characters are wise beyond their years. There were a few twists that kept the plot moving. It is a difficult subject to read about but I thought the author did a good job keeping the mood light. I would recommend this book if you can handle a tough subject.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RYYI02S6IB40K?ASIN=014242417X	This book is so beautiful and has great meaning.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I definitely choose this rating because I felt it was well deserved: John Green deserved it.<br/>I would mostly recommend this to romantic readers and to people that doesn't quite understand how cancer effects other people, not just that person. I only hope other people will find<br/> entertainment in this book just as I did.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R7UTEECN8KKMG?ASIN=014242417X	Beautiful	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Absolutely beautiful story. Witty, realistic, and sarcastic in a way that really spoke to me. My one complaint would be it was a little hard for me to relate to the characters because their experiences were just so different from anything I've ever been through. But overall, one of the best books I have read in quite some time!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1GBU1EEO7NWLD?ASIN=014242417X	Masterpiece	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">A delighting delivery of pure heartpounding exhileration It is sensational and a powerhouse of a book. It is now 2015, but yet when it was published in 2012 I never saw the book in that time frame. A story that most can relate to because it's not judt cancer. This book touches terms like loss, greif, love, and risk. Five Stars!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RMQFEW0238HF1?ASIN=014242417X	Unexpected...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I never would have thought that a book this sad would be the book that I would read, over and over. The strength in these characters is enough to bring a person to life and the struggles they face are enough to make you think, I mean REALLY think, about what is important. An amazing read on many levels. I thank you, John Green.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R6TYRFYM0HHK5?ASIN=014242417X	for all those 1star givers	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">So, the gist of what you're saying is that this is not realistic. How many people do you know who had/have cancer? Because they can still do something with their life. They can still love and enjoy the world around them. They can have new experiances. This book is 100% honest. It's not unrealistic or fake. Okay, rant over. Bye.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3PSCKHZ5OQNP9?ASIN=014242417X	Definitely a Favorite	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is a book I could see myself reading over and over despite knowing the outcome, the heartbreak known as living (as opposed to saving the heartache by *not* living). The characters are so real, tangible, I felt as if they were more than characters in a book. Although it wasn't entirely unpredictable it kept me wanting more.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RX5L7G3YXMX2U?ASIN=014242417X	A Good Read for Adults Too	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I really enjoyed The writing style of this book - and liked the story. Yes - it is heartbreaking - but the relationship between Augustus and Hazel Grace was precious. They were aware of their situation and how precious time is - and continued to live. I loved their banter. Quite a few sniffles even though I saw what was coming.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RG0AK4EGYLWHM?ASIN=014242417X	Not a Waste of Time...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">It was well written. The characters were interesting, and the plot moved along. While I haven't had cancer, or watched someone die from it, I have had my share of struggles and grieving, especially this year.  Because my own emotions are so heightened right now, this felt somewhat flat to me.  Easy to read, not a waste of time.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RPHB3ILVF9XDZ?ASIN=014242417X	The fault in our stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I really really really love this book. It is sad and funny. The ending could have been better. I need to know if Hazel dies because of her cancer and if Isaac and Monica get back together. These questions are bothering me. I hope they get answered or the author makes a sequel. I have more questions I just won't say in my reply.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R33MTJ473RODRS?ASIN=014242417X	John Green is now one of my favorite authors!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I never really knew that John Green was a novelist. I only knew about him from his Crash Course videos on YouTube that I would watch at school. I saw the previews for the movie, but I saw my friend reading the book; I decided to read the book first, and I made a very good decision. It's just an excellent book!<br/>-Kalia Price</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2WC2V2QARZSOG?ASIN=014242417X	the ending though	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Like: a quick and easy read, go flow, no real dislike but that ending much like Hazels loved book I guess. My daughter however has read and retread nthis book several times over, I only read the book at her request to see the movie so I figured I better read before we that's rule her if there is a movie the book get read first.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2UYHUKV7JCBEK?ASIN=014242417X	Beautifully written	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was one  I read only because I wanted to know if I could last through the movie without making a blubbering idiot out of myself. I tend to get very emotional about movies. I found myself completely absorbed in this  book. After reading it, I don't think I want to see the movie. I'm afraid it won't live up to the book!</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2QPH10J88C4OO?ASIN=014242417X	extremely well thought out and executed	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Green captured characters in such detail and force that I could not help but be engaged and engrossed all the way through.  A brilliant story line with plot twists just in time to save it from sappy predictability. I'm intrigued enough to read more of green's work and see the movie version of this book.  Green is a huge talent!</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2QFF635014ZT7?ASIN=014242417X	Excellent	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I thought John Green did a great job of writing it. I loved the concept of 2 cancer kids that fell in love... and great humor. It does get very sad near the ending, but it would just be unrealistic if the story ended with a 'Happily Ever After'. Overall, recommended for those of you who love romances and I think you will enjoy!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R4BU24712YJWQ?ASIN=014242417X	Don't pass this up.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Just because it says""young adult"" on the cover is no reason to dismiss this book. I am 42 and it's the most powerful story I've read in a long time. To the best of my knowledge, John Green did not have cancer as a teenager, but I did. For someone who did not experience it first hand to get it so very very right is a rare thing.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1NNADX1MS382Y?ASIN=014242417X	Awesome and much more!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Get the tissues handy and begin.  I have never known a family that has had to bear the loss of a loved one such as this book details.  Thank you John Green for the wake-up to what reality is in fighting cancer, or living with it.  Beautiful and unbelievable.  I have a new outlook on death and the survivors.  Best read in years!</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R17SN02DW6AY65?ASIN=014242417X	Great story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I thought that this book may have been too young for me...I'm 26 but I really enjoyed it. The characters seemed much more mature.  A symptom of  dying?  I also thought that the cancer thing might be too depressing and deter me from reading<br/> but there is much more to it. I did however, cry like a baby the last few chapters.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1UIVG1HB33BWR?ASIN=014242417X	Must read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The characters were quirky, unique and completely lovable. Hazel and Gus are not your ""average"" teens for many reasons, but it is not just their illness that sets them apart. It is their love for each other. They understand one another in a way no one else can, and isn't that how true love is? A great read for teens and adults.</span>"

All the more so since the cancer victims / survivors are children and teenagers. Having survived cancer twice myself, but as an adult, I am amazed at the honest depiction. It felt very real and I suspect was modeled after real cancer patients.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3KX032Y9S2CVX?ASIN=014242417X	Solid	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I put off reading this book for awhile as I read to escape not to feel sad. I regret that choice and while this book is sad, it is so much more. I loved the characters. I agree with some reviewers that parts of it are unrealistic, those unrealistic parts add to the story and helps mute the tough subject matter. Worth the read.</span>"

I wrote a journal when I was recovering from brain tumour surgery and radiation.  I looked at it again after I started reading this book...""Hazel"" could have written many passages.  Now I am ready for the movie.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3OH06R9HWP04Y?ASIN=014242417X	Touching	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This mix of a love story and a cancer story changed my heart. Well, I suppose it wasn't much of a mix. People fall in love whether they have chance for not. But this was different. It was funny, but it wasn't a comedy. It was sad, but it wasn't a sob story. Do yourself a favor, and buy this book. Even if it is more than $3.99.</span>"

It was really one of the best books I have ever read. The author did a great job at describing the scenes and feelings in a way that made me really believe I was there watching instead of reading. It's a wonderful book. I would recommend it to anyone!!</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3SAKEFLENAZXP?ASIN=014242417X	Lovely	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I give ""The Fault in Our Stars"" 5 stars as it is a book about relationships, life, death and love. It is an easy read, just a few hours. The fact that they did have sex was the only part not appropriate for young readers,  it even that was not written in a nasty raunchy way. Thank you John Green you will be forever remembered.</span>"

It was an emotional and moving story. I would recommend this book to anyone, young or old. It seems like they are too wise for their age, but I think Hazel would argue that its a side effect of being a cancer kid. A must read. I can't wait to see the movie!</span>"

This is about being on the other side of it and finding someone who can help you through it even if it is for a short time. Take a chance on this story you won't be disappointed.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read this book while on vacation in Germany, because it was about a kid with cancer I figured it would maybe make me a little sad depending on what all happened but let me tell you I bawled and bawled through parts of this book!

I saw previews for this movie and also saw it was a book. So I read it and wow...totally unexpecting! I can't wait to watch the movie when it comes out on Tuesday the 16th. I know it will be great but of the course the book is always better. I highly recommend this book!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1ZBMGZ8PCPT0M?ASIN=014242417X	Beautiful, Moving, Infinite	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I avoided reading this for a long time because I knew from the synopsis it was going to be a sad read, and I wasn't in the mood to read a downer. But I was wrong. The Fault in Our Stars is sad, but the tale of Hazel Grace Lancaster and Augusts Waters is a story that lifts the heart even as it breaks it. Read it--just read it.</span>"

The book really makes you think how lucky you are. It makes you think about what it would be like if you had cancer. John Green did an amazing job. It's one of those books that just sucks you in and once you start you can't stop. I've read the book like four times and I still cry.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1DDDUIEAQGA06?ASIN=014242417X	A wonderful tragedy.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">So many of us don't know what to say to someone you love who is dying. The fact is there isn't anything. This book makes perfectly clear the the pain and disappointment and pure torture it is to be dying and not have any control over your end. But then it also makes clear the beauty of living a life that is your life to live.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2WHMA4HLEXEZZ?ASIN=014242417X	this book is painfully beautiful	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I loved this book. My cousin didn't win the fight either. His humor in those times of weakness were a strength undefined. It was very unselfish of him to be the way he was about being a part of ""only the good die young."" This book reminds me of him &amp; I'm thankful to have been given the chance to read it &amp; to remember.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3FVWOR0WC23MX?ASIN=014242417X	Tears	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I never thought this book would make me cry. But I was wrong. The way the author wrote it was touching and made everything about it seem so real. I pray everyday for people who have cancer. It's not fun to deal with or live with. All in all this book is absolutely amazing.! Better than all the other books I have read before.!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1UGBPHB9N4Q8Q?ASIN=014242417X	It was good, not emotionally appealing to me.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I really liked it, but I was expecting something really emotional and I did not get that.  I like John Green, but I think my problem is that I was reading the book in his voice from his YouTube videos, so everything came out sarcastic in my head, but that is my problem.  I recommend the book still, but just not my cup of tea.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1LQOQCZ3T6BVR?ASIN=014242417X	Meh, it was ok.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Can't figure out why people like this book so much. I have a pre-medical background, so maybe that is it. I skimmed 80% of it.  There wasn't really a plot line. It was just two kids with cancer, they fall in love, and then one dies (because no one saw that coming). It was touching in some areas, but it isn't one for the ages.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RZH9L0APAB7OW?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I chose the book because my granddaughter read it. John Green gave us a very insightful look into the lives of Hazel and Gus. Gus and Hazel loved each other and that was all that mattered. The parents' lives were also depicted in such a way as to easily understand their feelings. I enjoyed the book and now will see the movie.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2F31GA1CF7XA7?ASIN=014242417X	Only John Green could have made such a masterpiece as this.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Ok I wanted the title to sound smart. I understand the glory of books not made by him .<br/><br/>Now that is settled, I would just like to say the the fault in our stars is amazing! Like really amazing. It is truthful. And it is a wondrous story of faults and the truthful reality of the world around us. Strongly recommended</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1T6FGE4W3VPI2?ASIN=014242417X	A comedic tragedy	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I loved this book because of the emotion balance. When something incredibly sad happens the author basically said says, ""I'm sorry, here have a laugh."" but you know he's not really sorry because it happens again a few chapters later :P overall a great book and an amazing feels trigger. THE FEELS MAN. (but seriously, read it.)</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RWZPSXXFBG36K?ASIN=014242417X	Finished in 2 sittings	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I probably could have read the whole book in one sitting, but I needed to sleep before work! the book was great. The characters were well developed. It was sad and heartwarming at the same time. It's always very powerful when you can feel emotions from a story, in my opinion. That was the case for me while reading this novel.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2XW45OPXXS8RZ?ASIN=014242417X	Emotional, good read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I normally don't want to read tear-jerkers, but since this has received a lot of 'buzz', I wanted to give it a chance. It's a sweet story that moves along well. The honesty &amp; sense of humor in these kids keeps it from constantly being dragged down into a horrificly sad story. Glad I read it....but yes, I did bawl my eyes out.</span>"

The story line was beautiful, the characters easy to fall in love with, and very, very well written. The story was of course heart-breaking at times but still a beautiful love story, and wonderful insight into the life of the terminally ill. I recommend this book to everyone! 5 stars are not enough.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2FLRX6ZK2XK7G?ASIN=014242417X	Flawlessly written.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Yes it was  sad, that's to be expected but what makes this book so good is the effortless way the words flow throughout the story. It's sassy, it's witty, and is sprinkled with plenty of metaphorical and philosophical notions to give you a great deal to think about. I will definitely be reading more of the lovely John Green.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RV3TY1A71O6OO?ASIN=014242417X	Humorous, sad, and NOT a love story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">this is the best book I've ever read. so far I have never read a book that comes close in comparison to how AMAZING this book is. I recommend to anyone 12 or older read this book. it may make you cry or it may make you laugh. but this book will certainly touch your heart. I also recommend reading it before you see the movie.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3ASNTUJ9QG832?ASIN=014242417X	very good book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was very good. It focused on something no one ever wants to face but some people have to. The disease does not care how old or young a person is. No matter what age one has to deal with all the aspects that come ones way unfortunately. I loved the book and would recommend it to everyone that wants a very good read.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1H214WZ0HS808?ASIN=014242417X	A beautiful tragety	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was not just a love story but the story of two amazingly thought out characters who loved each other. This book made me laugh. It made me cry. I give it five stars because it is so deeply written. This book also has a sense of reality. I recommend this book to anyone who is looking for a book that is true and deep.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R62KRLHBTGBOJ?ASIN=014242417X	easy read, yet annoying characters	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The book was easy to read and interesting enough to keep me going on it.  buuuut, I hated the characters.  I didn't like the way that the parents interacted with their sick children...and i know that kids with cancer grow up very fast, but I think sometimes their thought patterns were out of their age range.  Bothered me....</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R25A3G8X250QOL?ASIN=014242417X	Deep, But Not Too Deep	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Beautiful story of teen love and the struggles of Cancer. I liked the book. I give it four stars though because I feel like there could've been MORE. More character depth, more story details, etc. That being said, I think there were many deep issues addressed and because the characters aren't perfect they are more relatable.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R37CIXK2EJ8CV5?ASIN=014242417X	Smart, sweet, and funny!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">It's been a long time since I enjoyed a book this much.  John Green is such an intelligent writer.  He gives a smart and sassy voice to teenagers.  He allows them to be vulnerable without being totally self-centered when they have every right to be. His characters are enjoying the lives they are allowed and celebrating love.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3RP3M3VQ4ZMHW?ASIN=014242417X	I really looked foward to reading this book..	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I had seen info blurbs, the trailor for the movie and thought that should be a good quick read.  It was. Three quarters of the way thru I had the feeling of how it would end but was still reading because I just might be wrong..or right.  Life is like that...you think you know what you're doing..and then you get a curve ball.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2AKOLVP4GY71Z?ASIN=014242417X	A Beautiful Love Story With A Life Lesson	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Every girl can only hope and wish to meet a guy like Gus now. This is truly a magnificent masterpiece that depicted love beautifully. The war motif of battling cancer was appropriate. Everyone should learn to not take everyone in their lives for granted and to live to its fullest because you never know when is your last day.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3VO8H1RJ9AY55?ASIN=014242417X	Beautiful, Amazing, Love Story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is absolutely amazing. I have read it again and again. I cry every time I read it without fail. It's a beautifully written love story and the characters make you laugh, make you cry and leave you with hope that you might not have sought before starting to read the book.. I HIGHLY recommend this book 100 times over!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R25H5XWJ90JL4B?ASIN=014242417X	I haven't done this in a while	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">read a book almost in one sitting. Augustus, hazel Grace and Isaac are so interesting, I didn't want to leave them. this could have been syrupy but it wasn't. it could have been depressing but it wasn't. I was better for reading it. and my heart is more open as well.  I don't think I will ever worry about getting hurt again.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R9U12TXKB6Y7L?ASIN=014242417X	Loved it!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Love this book, and read it in two days. I read half of the book (300+ pages) in 2 hours during a plane flight.<br/><br/>It remindes me alot of the Hunger Games series because of how the book is written.<br/><br/>I would definitely recommend this book :) But not for young people.<br/><br/>I can't wait to see the movie!</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3IDTP4PTUE2EJ?ASIN=014242417X	insightful and thought-provoking	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">John Green addresses some of life's toughest questions from a teen-ager's perspective, unvarnished, raw and true.  What seemingly starts off as just another young-adult novel about teen-age angst ends up being a reminder for readers of all ages that life is temporary, and every moment has it's own unique value and relevance.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RUZVIPVRJRJ5C?ASIN=014242417X	Beautiful read for anyone!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I started reading this after it appeared on a Buzzfeed about books to read before the movie comes out. This was a funny and beautifully written story that really made me feel like I could understand what someone with cancer goes through. While the topic itself is depressing, the story is funny and sweet and really enjoyable.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2J8VZR427B9RX?ASIN=014242417X	What a good Book!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">My son's girlfriend was reading some of this to me aloud.. She texted me the day after we purchased it and said she was done.  She said it's sad but a good read.  I downloaded on Kindle and have to say as a Cancer Survivor it reflects on how I felt as a teen struggling with Cancer.  Gracefully I have been NEC for 27 + years.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2IYF8BJ16FCK3?ASIN=014242417X	5 stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Beautiful, sad, and poignant story. Love conquers all, even death, even in the ugliest times. It took me a long time to decide I was emotionally ready to read this book, I hate cancer. So glad I finally picked it up, because while there is exceptional sadness, it leaves you with a feeling of hope and contentment at the end.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1V40DPNMURIUD?ASIN=014242417X	Not what it's made out to be.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The book was okay, it wasn't great but it wasn't horrible. Would I read it again? Probably not. The book honestly just wasn't everything to me, it wasn't nothing but i was slightly disappointed. The writing is good, and the story up until the last 3-4 chapters was great. Definitely not as good as everyone made it out to be.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3HL1BQ0K8EFGL?ASIN=014242417X	Awesome sauce!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I really like this book, and I love reading... My only predicament with this novel is the depression of it all. I've witnessed cancer in children 2nd hand twice (little sister) and it truly does suck! Green used accurate description. I do wish Hazel would have been a bit 'lighter' to cushion the blow. The movie was AMAZING!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1TKXVF7HV8YN1?ASIN=014242417X	Courageous story of two phenomenal young doomed teens as we all are	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Great book about an all too real topic no one wants to discuss - cancer.  This book proves you can live a long time and gain nothing but you can also live a short time an accomplish all.  It takes you on an emotional roller coaster hitting all your senses.  I'm sure this will be one of the books that I will always remember.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">well its a guys writing it like a teenage girl but no girl talks/thinks like that and the guy dialogue is like a girl writing guy dialogue..and u know the end by the middle. The whole visit thing was not worth the read there..would of been better if it were adults talking not teens more believable...some memorable quotes...</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1UL4Y3NMARJAK?ASIN=014242417X	finally finished	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">It took me a while to finish this one because I have been fighting my own cancer battle since June. I struggled some days to pick up and read the story in fear of the story becoming a depressing one. I'm glad that I stuck to it and got to the end (months later). I would recommend this book to others. Now to watch the movie.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RTDXOYXVGBMYZ?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Made me cry like it was amazing!<br/>It told a story of two people who have cancer and fall in love, they learn about each other and grow together .The at the end had a great twist but it was really good. It felt like a present so precisely packaged and wrapped, my friends it was like a rollercoaster that is only going up.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RFFU831VH9LWH?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in Our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is amazing. How it combines the feeling of love and death is just out of the bounds. Hazel is an awesome character who loves Gus more than anything in the world. I hope anyone in love will just do the same and not worry about anything else. Lastly, thank you John Green for writing this book and inspiring me today.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RGEGHHL44M39X?ASIN=014242417X	The fault in most books is that they aren't this one!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is one of the best books I have ever read! Not only did it touch my heart but it showed me to be thankful for life. Anyone who has any interest in reading will love this book. The relationship between Augustus and Hazel is one of the most romantic and touching love stories of all time. Please read this book everyone!!!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RKI3FHUQD6577?ASIN=014242417X	Awesome book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book wasn't an emotional roller coaster like everyone said. But I felt like it should be s little more powerful of an ending. It was like hazel grace was she didn't make a strong impact and she didn't care. I think you should read this book, but I don't think it is the best book ever...I've read books better than this.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R137KKRBTA4SUR?ASIN=014242417X	Would have been more sad if I was a teenager.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was not as amazing as I had hoped it would be. Still can't believe it was a New York best seller. If I had read it when I as 16 and not 22, it may have envoked more catharsis. However I felt no connection to any character which was very disappointing. Hoping the movie will bring more life and emotion to the pages.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R11COQ3F7FSBIK?ASIN=014242417X	a 3 generation read!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I was reading it on vacation with my niece &amp; her 12 year old.  I soon convinced each of them to order it for their kindle.  We all loved it and kept checking with each other where we were in it.  The 12 year old finished first of course.  As soon as we got home, we went to see the movie together.  Would highly recommend it.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3A7XU2KOQLTNA?ASIN=014242417X	Couldn't put it down	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I liked it,  but this story couldn't be loved because it was sad.  Also,  it was hard to believe that<br/>teenagers actually thought like this, but I am a little old lady in sneakers and perhaps they<br/>do today.  Brilliant, provocative  writer.  Made me stop and think alot and for that reason,  highly<br/>recommend it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1GC2NIF0IM22W?ASIN=014242417X	Loved it and hated it.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I cried and laughed and loved it. My older son has cancer so it was special for me even though it's a very different situation. I always wonder how he feels about his cancer. He won't talk about it but this gave me an insight.  Good or bad I don't know. Like I said I loved it and hated it too. Leaves me with mixed emotions.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3P1IQTC5NMU0J?ASIN=014242417X	Light summer read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was alright, but the characters are not realistic for their ages in the story.  They are presented as extremely mature and talk a great deal about existential/philosophical notions.  It would have been better if they were 26 years old instead of 17.  Otherwise, a light summer read that is alright for the poolside.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R10YZ3WWHP235C?ASIN=014242417X	wow, what a read couldn't put it down.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is a book you kind of want to not read.  You know it's going to be sad. But you can't stop reading it.  I thought it was well written makes you think about life death what's important, true friendships and unconditional love. Coping with many issues dealing with death.  Even tho it was sad I enjoyed it I wanted more...</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R18OP3XKLGTPIE?ASIN=014242417X	This Book Enveloped My Heart	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book enveloped my heart.<br/><br/>I usually lean toward the dystopian, edge of reality genre. But, boy, am I glad I read this book. The characters pulled at my strings. I was impressed with the writing style and I want to read Green's other books.<br/><br/>If you're even considering reading this book, just read it.</span>"

Exactly what Hazel felt about AIA.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1M5RGJIO5YO4H?ASIN=014242417X	The fault in our stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is a great book it's sad yet great I hate many characters yet love the rest. I hope John green can write a sequel and have it have nothing to do with this book. I chose my rating because it deserved five stars for the fault is not in one star but the fault is in all stars (yes that's cheesy and very confusing but idc).</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3BATMOPIAPS98?ASIN=014242417X	Ummm idk	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Was I the only one who didn't really get the hype for this book? It was okay when I started it, but when I got to page 100, in my head I was like, ""So when is this going to get fantastic like everyone is saying?"" I loved paper towns by John Green way better than I liked this one. Sorry, not one of my favorite books.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1QC3RFNPCHR07?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in Our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Although it is supposedly a young adult novel it is meaningful to all ages.  I was particularly moved by the raw honesty of emotion the young characters demonstrated in coping with a fatal disease and imminent death.  The love story was touching and taught us that true love is ageless.  This was a simple yet beautiful book.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3U76Z0PDYH3SH?ASIN=014242417X	Simply amazing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book has been recommended by all of my friends to read.

Thank you John Green for writing this book. It has changed my way on how i look at life.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R551HYVAVNUV?ASIN=014242417X	My favorite!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was simply amazing! I read this two years ago and just finished reading it a second time. I cried then, I just finished wiping the last of my tears now. Although the book created several touchy emotions, it still managed to capture the true meaning of young love, young hope, and the search for something beautiful.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3GXGE3N09V4Q0?ASIN=014242417X	Great understanding of a Cancer Patient	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">John Greene captured the essence of the cancer patient's trials and tribulations perfectly. Reading became easy until their love became more spoken of in the book. It became a little boring and habitual, but that speaks true to any relationship. I wouldn't say this is young adult fiction...worth reading over and over again.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RPWS4XP78L9BJ?ASIN=014242417X	In love	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">To start out with I am 13 (almost 14) and I wanted a good book so I looked up John Green and I found this, I finished this in about 6 hours or so. This is my new favorite book,and it just makes these excellent points and its very Intellectual at times. I laughed,smiled,and cried no spoilers but this is a very touching story</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R356W8R1MFWIRM?ASIN=014242417X	Heartbreakingly beautiful	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book does not deserve 5 stars... it deserves a million. I recommend this book to anyone looking for a beautiful (and somewhat epic) romance between two beautiful characters. I must warn you though... you will cry so prepare some tissues if you decide to embark on the magnificent journey that is ""The Fault in Our Stars""</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R10ECEH0RBQVAD?ASIN=014242417X	fabulous. just fabulous	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I'm bawling and laughing and I can't believe I stayed up all night to read this incredible book while I made frequent trips to the bathroom for my first miscarriage. I was given a gift during the night and I doubt I'll look at the universe the same. thank you, John Green, for giving the world a slice of heavenly perfection.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1W9H59AQQF8I6?ASIN=014242417X	Great Book - Refreshingly Unpredictable	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I bought this for myself ; I am a 44 year old mom who still enjoys YA literature. This story pulled me right in, and I loved the characters. It is always difficult to read about sickness in children, and this was no exception. This story was not predictable which was great, because it could have been. I really enjoyed this.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1TY9Z6DRGQPVX?ASIN=014242417X	Beautiful	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I saw this book once, and only had enough time to read the back of the book. But now that I've read the whole thing it's the best thing I've ever read and truly beautiful. I know in the future I will read this book at least ten times. :) an I see that they are coming out with a movie of this book. I soooo can't wait for it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3V6LRAFWURJ7S?ASIN=014242417X	Well written, unrealistic	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The book is amazing no doubt about it, I was defiantly wiping tears from my face a few times but the only thing that bothered me was how unrealistic Augustus and Hazel were. I don't wanna go into detail because I might say too much  but it was an absolute page turner. I just can't decide on whether I love  it or hated it...</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1Y68D91LD55DX?ASIN=014242417X	Skeptical at first, now I'm glad I read it!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I purchased this book to see what the fuss was about, and it is right that there is a fuss. This book was easy to read and a beautiful love story. It is sad, but the almost cheesiness of the love story between the two is balanced out by the sadness in the reality of it. I will read more of John Green's works in the future.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2GNICYC1ASZX0?ASIN=014242417X	So inspiring.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book not only taught me the importance of life, but the importance of love. You have to cherish what you have because you never know what life is going to throw at it. Thank you John Green for giving me that moving and realistic portrait of what it's like to be young, and in love, and sick. It is truly a piece of art.</span>"

I read it in two sittings. Two because I have a reading disorder called sleeping. I expected clichÃ©. Nope. I have never read anything quite like it. Props to Mr. Green. Just read it. So there was a little language, and such. I still loved it.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1EK6LOSLDW8T0?ASIN=014242417X	Just Didn't Want it to End!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">One of my top 5 books! Loved it from beginning to middle (ending was cute but I didnt want it to happen that way, lol) so youthful and makes you want to fall in love!

This story embodies the heart and soul of human nature at its finest. The intimate details of teenagers' trying to live the short lives they were given and the ups and downs of their emotions. I can't say enough about the amazing strength and courage portrayed in this story. Kudos Mr. Green!</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R37KQISTQR4VJV?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault In Our Stars Review	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was so amazing and truly touching- it gives you a new look on the lives of people with cancer, or people dealing with a lot of pain. I wish more books could be written this way, because teens need to understand how nothing in life will be easy, and that someone always has it worse than you. R.I.P. Augustus Waters</span>"

I knew it was coming because someone already spoiled it for me but I still blubbered like a child over a lost toy and then finally I looked at myself in the mirror and said aloud, ""Look at me, crying over a fictional character."" But I guess that's just what GOOD books do to you.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2LYA7K5RFW02E?ASIN=014242417X	Ten Stars and a few tears too	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">An eighth of the way into this book I messages my 16 year old daughter in the next room that I'd ordered the paperback for her and her friends to enjoy. An eighth is all I needed to know she had to read this and pass it on. John Green is a damn good storyteller. I'm pretty sure this is a ten star book if only they'd allow.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2FXNMN4ZML4QG?ASIN=014242417X	Great	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I loved this book. I have nothing else to say. I just love it everything inside and out was great. It made me feel great. The writing made me smile then cry and then smile and giggle all over again. So once again I say this book is great. I would say amazing but then that messes with my title so I guess it is Great/amazing</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3FC41PFXLIWI4?ASIN=014242417X	a GREAT read!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">i loved this story... a cancer story, sort of, a love story, sort of.... but, ultimate a story of the need to be ultimately understood. the only reason i gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because green has a weird way of using the word ""like"" in the conversations of what are supposed to be very intelligent teenagers.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R64RJFSRA45QY?ASIN=014242417X	Bittersweet and somewhat incomplete	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I really didn't want an unhappy ending. Even knowing what I was in for, I kept hoping for Hazel to beat cancer. What I didn't expect was the actual ending that felt somewhat incomplete like her favorite book<br/>I loved the love in this story and I liked the pace. I just wish the author hadn't stop writing it when he did.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R378SCFZ7ACJ1P?ASIN=014242417X	Loved this book!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">A friend recommended this to me, because, even as adults, we do like young adult fiction.  I couldn't put this book down.  John Green developed very interesting characters and I love the bond of friendship between teens that were not able to integrate into every day society.  Everyone should read this, irregardless of age.</span>"

I noticed how john green left us hanging as Peter did with hazel and her book. like does hazel live? what happens to Isaac? doe Peter write a sequel? I bet john green has gotten these kinds of questions now. Overall, I loved the book and I'm definitely going to read it again and go see the movie!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RUN9DSV9GICOB?ASIN=014242417X	A love story that puts an actual definition to forever being in love.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is sooooo amazing in an unexplainable way. I continuously asked my brother why all guys didn't treat their girlfriends the was Augustus did. I found myself aww-ing and in tears due to the sentimental and adorabalness that was Gus and Hazels relationship. I finished this book in 2 days. it was simply breathtaking.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R22TF81QNU31OT?ASIN=014242417X	The stars never shone	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is such a beautifully crafted piece that goes beyond the measure of the conventional novel or story about pain and knowing death. This tale asked readers to understand that everyone's hamartia is exclusive to that person, but we are all human. Nothing more than pat of an infinite world waiting for our flaw to kill us.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1BZK9CG3OJQS0?ASIN=014242417X	Real teens, real problems	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The teens and the complications and pain in their lives felt real.  They became people I care about and think about even a month after finishing the book.  There were a few improbable plot twists that felt manufactured to move the story along, but at its heart this is a story of people who let me share a bit of their pain.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1UKXRB491KIZT?ASIN=014242417X	Great future classic	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">A young woman named Hazel Grace Lancaster is in love with a terminally ill young man whose name is Augustus (Gus) Waters.  First she is into the TV show ""America's Next Top Model.""  However, she realizes that there is so much more to life than TV.

Never in my life did I think a single book would change entirely the way I view the world. One thing for sure - I will never look at the world again. I'm so amazed to the point that I make myself read it once a month, just to avoid the option of ever forgetting what it gives me.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1KEOSV10Q1QDO?ASIN=014242417X	Not a favorite.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Depressing. The story was fairly well written and was a quick read, but honestly I couldn't wait for it to end. Green made some interesting points, but I didn't feel as though it was any incredible love story. It won't be a book that I will ever read again...too heavy of a read if you're looking for any kind of enjoyment.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R28TFKYEL8SDCP?ASIN=014242417X	A must read!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">What a wonderful story!  A must read!  Realistic characters with great wisdom and humor in the face of adversity.  I think they loved deeply and lived well.  I love the sarcastic humor the characters share with each other, that only someone in their position could use without being rude.  Great for teens and adults alike!</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3EYY270BSFQUY?ASIN=014242417X	TFIOS~ A Great Book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This story is an amazing thing that I experienced as a twelve-year-old. This book has given me the chance to see the better things in life that were given right to me.This book has to be the most ABSOLUTELY extraordinary thing to read. It was sad yet sweet at the,same time. I hope everyone gets a chance to read this book.</span>"

The emotions felt real- the thoughts genuine. I still didn't agree with the whole nonreligious theme; however, I haven't had to look that closely at death personally. I feel the pain in this story... The loss, the questions, the love of a mother, real emotions</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R44HL92DMEKD6?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing, Brilliant book!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is by far an amazing adventure not only for regular every day children to feel through struggles but also for chronically I'll or cancer patients like myself who have went through difficult situations. It shows bravery, and no boundaries of where you can go on who you are, or normal adventures. It's a must read.</span>"

I'm so glad I did not have my computer handy while reading it or I would have flooded my FB page with quote after quote from this book.  The characters were incredible and Augustus Waters just jumped off the page at me and I fell hard for him!  Well worth the read!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1I09YF5PGQTTX?ASIN=014242417X	Honest & In your face. Loved it.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Sometimes a reader just learns that fictional characters are more real and honest with their feelings. The book is in your face and highly recommended if one wants an honest book. I'd ask people to read before the release of the movie. This was my first book by Mr. John Green, certainly not the last, I love it. Thank you.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1JQ5HFFY2K85B?ASIN=014242417X	Heart warming  but breaking at the same time	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The fault in our stars was easily the best book I've ever read. I was amazed at how how hard I feel in love with the characters. John Green made me feel like  I was living the story. Through the heartbreak, friendship, love, and learning what life is about and why we are here is what makes this book such an amazing story.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2TYLV724S7QY6?ASIN=014242417X	4 sad stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I gave this book book four stars because it was incredibly sad to me. There were times when I would be crying and say to myself, ""I can not finish reading this!""  It hit to close to home for me and for that reason, it gets four stars. Now I have to try and stop thinking about it. Watching the movie is out of the question!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R23LAN7VRTEYE2?ASIN=014242417X	Beautifully emotional	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read this for the five star rating but after reading this book I must say, it exceeded my expectations. Wonderful and whitty writing that makes you fall in love and laugh and cry along side the beautiful characters John Green has created. I had been waiting for a book like this for a long time. Thank you for writing it.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2OAIGDPY9QH1P?ASIN=014242417X	Inspiration	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was astonishing, thought provoking and inspirational. The true story was not about a girl suffering from cancer but about a girl's astonishing and accurate view of the world that having cancer allowed her to have. This book gave me a new insight on the world and i think that anyone would benefit from reading it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R324QXWAW5KCYS?ASIN=014242417X	speechless	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is not a book about a girl with cancer. It's about a girl who meets a boy, how they fall in love, and bow they leave a mark on each other's lives.  But it is also so, so much more than that. Read on, fellow booknerds. Read on.<br/><br/>So beautifully crafted. I hope the movie doesn't ruin the magic of this romance.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1EHPG6OFVBIME?ASIN=014242417X	TFIOS	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I would like to recommend this book to any one who does. It know the pain that people go though with cancer, and to other people that like reading books that are listed fiction but are based on things that happen in real life. After reading this book my prayers now go to the people that have to put up with this every day.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2WSX05SJZN9XK?ASIN=014242417X	An emotional and eye opening roller coaster	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Tears of joy, sadness, laughter, pain. This book is raw emotion and I'm so glad I read it. It is less of a book and more of real life. There is no true perfection in the writing other than it's imperfectness in it's humble truth.<br/>I don't know if I'm making any sense, but then again does anyone ever really make sense?</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R13QQVAMC8PLFF?ASIN=014242417X	best book ever	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is amazing, it will make you laugh, it will make you cry. But most importantly it will make you think. It will make you consider you existence. It will make you realize that some infinities are larger than other infinities. By the end of this book, Hazel won't just be an eye color, and okay won't just be a word.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2TMRBKPESHR8D?ASIN=014242417X	Well written, with lots of food for thought	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book brings the lives of teenagers suffering from cancer into focus. The characters are beautifully drawn and compelling, right down to their often morbid senses of humor. I think I fell in love with Augustus. I confess to reading the last 20% with tears dripping down my face, but it was well worth the soggy tissues.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R27KG23YN5F434?ASIN=014242417X	Lovely, thoughtful book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I'd heard so much about it, that I just had to read it. The best thing about it is the sarcastic dialogue of the two protags. The big ""twist"" is telegraphed long before it happens, but the lack of surprise doesn't detract from the book's obvious charm. I imagine this has become this generation's A SEPARATE PEACE.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1BPD15TWXA52N?ASIN=014242417X	My thoughts	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Phenomenal<br/>I loved the book, because I am a suckers for romance. Though the story is sad, I quite enjoyed how each character had some struggle that they were overcoming or in the midst of. To me that reflects real life, no not everyone has a life altering disease, but everyone has some sort of problem in their life.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3BBHEVXAKE5AG?ASIN=014242417X	Sweet & Painful Love Story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">What an amazing love story but sad reality. Cancer, surprisingly, is the cause of this almost magical love story while simultaneously is the cause of much pain and separation. The book is written flawlessly and allows the reader to step into an unexpected world of literature and poetry. Funny and solemn at the same time.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2IWXV74CC05TX?ASIN=014242417X	One of the best books I have ever read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I LOVED THIS BOOK! it was very well written. it wasn't too sad and I think it had the perfect mix between sad/ emotional and romantic/ happy. I couldn't lay the book down for longer than a day. It was worth every last penny that I spent on it, and I am glad I bought it. I would say it is appropriate for any 14 and older.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2KWJ40N2C7124?ASIN=014242417X	HEART WARMING	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">When I first started reading I knew the ending wasn't gonna be well because almost all the characters had cancer or some kind of disease but even through all of that they still found a way to have fun . even though I was sad Augustus died , I'm glad hazel didn't die , this really makes you appreciate life a little more .</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3FXG7WD53HGF0?ASIN=014242417X	Enlightening	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I never cry, but this made me cry, not so much for it's sadness, and it is sad, but for it's incredible beauty. Usually I don't feel stupid or shallow either, but next to these two characters, I feel monstrously ignorant and small-minded. This book will humble you and stay on your mind weeks after you read the last page.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RU9JSCWMHGQ3W?ASIN=014242417X	Could not connect with characters	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I didn't believe in the characters and therefore could not emotionally attach to them. Also, the trip/experience to Amsterdam seemed forced to me. Surprisingly, I was more emotionally attached to the movie characters than the book's. This is probably the first time I've ever enjoyed a movie more than the associated book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RIWQX8SFOC2NA?ASIN=014242417X	Loved the characters and story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">One reviewer stated that real teenagers don't talk like Hazel and Gus and that may be true but I loved that about them. They seemed to carve out their niche and that's what made them feel like real teenagers. Not to mention the way FICTIONAL characters speak is the author's artistic license. I enjoyed the roller coaster!</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R7IYHQ6I31IZG?ASIN=014242417X	Wow. Shocked by how much this affected me.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Oh my. I laughed and I cried, and I'm pretty sure I've never encountered a more honest and heartbreaking tale. These teens have not died; fiction has brought them to life, and they are real. An incredibly powerful story of hope and love and loss, and gain. Because it's all about what they gained, in the end - each other.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2WBKK3V5U4ATV?ASIN=014242417X	A mix of pathos and humor	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Very well written and very touching.  Having enjoyed excellent health all my life the book has opened my eyes to what it must be like to be young and cursed with the knowledge that adulthood is unlikely, Yet suffering does not diminish the need to live a life filled as full as possible with human relationships and humor.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1UDOI4CZ9Z0Q0?ASIN=014242417X	This is the best book ever written!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is most likely the best book that has ever been read by these eyes that I'm seeing to type with. This is not a cancer book as you would think by just hearing it as a passer by but an epic love story that makes a lasting impression. Maybe the mark that this one leaves is a scar but it is one most beautiful scar.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R4QRRMHNB2I2Y?ASIN=014242417X	Great for all ages!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">As an 88 year old grandmother, and great grandmother, I thought it was terrific understanding into life - even my 14 year old great granddaughter borrowed my kindle and read it and went a bought a book o her own to keep.  Truly makes you appreciate teenagers whose lives are affected in so many ways by incurable diseases.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R32WWQKXG053IY?ASIN=014242417X	No words	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I cried. Such a heartwarming, all-around amazing book. I would definetely recommend his book to many others. Words cant describe how great this book is. And this is coming from a girl who hates to read and can never get ""into"" a book. But let me tell you, i 100% got into this one. Read it, you wont regret it. Okay? Okay.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RP9MYK468BTQR?ASIN=014242417X	Not just for kids	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">John Green may be an author that specializes in ""young adult"" fiction. However, ""The Fault in Our Stars"" amazed this senior reader. This novel, written in the voice of a teenage cancer patient, tells of her struggles, her triumphs and her relationships with her family and with other young cancer patients.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RFB45G8822728?ASIN=014242417X	A little love story with a big heart.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">It should be a sad and tragic tale of love - two young people with seemingly no hope or chance of future together. Yet the hope and joy of this story is this sweet pair of teens being aware of the little things that make life special and daring to fully love and be in the moment...for however many moments they are given.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2PH6S3EF57XIR?ASIN=014242417X	A 40 something reading a young adult book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Okay, I couldn't put it down....and although it was sad, it felt rushed at times. For me, the draw was my hometown and my own battle with a chronic, albeit not necessarily fatal, illness.  Well-written and poignant, I may try his other works, although my daughters disapprove due to things they have read about the author.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R20ZHGI7TWCGPC?ASIN=014242417X	Heartbreaking	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I chose this rating because this book literally broke my heart. it changed my perspective on life. Whether dying or being the healthiest human, this novel grabs all of the reader's emotions and thoughts about life - making them think and feel in ways the never have before. This is my favorite novel written by John Green.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2C4LLZYTQKJ3I?ASIN=014242417X	fantastic	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was amazing!  I put off reading it for a while because everyone kept telling me how sad it was and how much they cried.  John Green handled the grief in the book in a very real way and it was refreshing.  I loved this book.  It was life-changing.  In the words of a friend, ""it was profoundly beautiful"".</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2H2PWMC7KY9DN?ASIN=014242417X	Wonderful read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I was recommended this book by a friend who have me no detail except that I would like it. The story is one that really pulls you in as if you are experiencing every emotion with Hazle and Gus. It's a romantic love story, one which I never expected. Definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a deeper read. Loved it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R20IVIADS3ASWN?ASIN=014242417X	Good love story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The main story itself was good. However, I could of done with out the over exaggerated vocabulary when talking about the book within the book. At times I felt the author went thesaurus happy. I did however love Augustus and grace. Their characters were believable and made you see things in a way healthy people rarely do.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1A81Z3O4OQTB5?ASIN=014242417X	Sniff sniff	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Well of course I had to read this. This is the book they made a movie out of and John green is the man all the teenagers are wanting to read. It did keep me reading. And reaching for tissues at the end. I am just not sure that men trying to write romantic stories is my thing. Plus I am the fan of happy ever after books.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I had no idea what this book was about when I bought it; I just liked the title.  I was amply impressed by both the writing and the subject matter.  The characters are real and interconnected.  It illicit end strong emotion in that I found myself overjoyed at times and in tears at others.  I would highly recommend it...</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2YU7YCYAMCC4J?ASIN=014242417X	Well-written and moving.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">It's entirely possible I'm just being a sentimental sap, but I felt like there was a lot of stark honesty in this book, and a lot of things that resonated on a larger scale. And I guess that's what makes good writing, isn't it? In any event, I highlighted a lot of this book, which is really saying something. I loved it.</span>"

Now I can watch the movie and cry some more. I want to look for the book that Hazel read, but, of course, I remember what you wrote in the beginning. I will still look tho, I'm hard headed, sorry. It's a must read. Like I said ""short but sweet, sad very sad. Enjoy!</span>"

The characters were well written and their witty humor was a good match. I enjoyed how tongue-and-cheek many of the jokes were. What always got me were the author's choices of poems, quotes, and authors to use. Most in the book are favorites of mine, too.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R12DBFOBMO4B3V?ASIN=014242417X	Witty, sarcastic humor, can't wait to see the movie	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I was apprehensive to read a book about cancer, but when I saw the trailer for the movie I had to run out and get the book. The main characters spoke way too intellectually to be teenagers but that was refreshing, and I love the dry sarcastic humor of Hazel, Gus, and even Isaac. I laughed, I cried. I thoroughly enjoyed.</span>"

It was and is amazing and sad to read about people with terminal illnesses..as I get older death is so profound and accepting it is inevitable. It's hard to understand why?!!

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1PZM8GT5ZN3FP?ASIN=014242417X	100 Stars Worthy!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">If I could, I'd give this novel 100 stars! Beautiful, poignant, gentle, inspiring, and witty. Only one scene bothered me because it seems gratuitous - it doesn't add to the characters' development and is not plot-pivotal. It is not integral to the story, which surprised me because John Green's books are so well-planned.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RUW3Q0BB1RPXK?ASIN=014242417X	Very sad yet sweet.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I liked this book a lot. It made me laugh and it made me sentimental. Their love was so wonderful. It also made me reflect on life and complain a lot less about my situation this week. We have to be grateful for any days we have without illness. I can't wait to see the movie. I recommend it to analyticals and romantics.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2Y8PWRL04VV4J?ASIN=014242417X	I thoroughly Enjoyed This Book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">John Green has given us a glimpse into a world few of us ever see and I know I'm better off for having read this book.  Is there pain? Yes.  Is there tragedy?  Of course. These kids have cancer.  But the characters in this book are so much more than the quick and easy definition we could apply to them: Cancer Survivors.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2Q5DB6PBSKRS4?ASIN=014242417X	A small infitity	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">It was a love storie like no other in which two lonely teenagers cross path each other's life, without knowing it would be the last most abundant experience of their life. In which evolves unlike any other story, the plot takes an unlike expected turn and the life's of August and Hazel are marked for an infinite ending.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1DI3K2LJ8BWLL?ASIN=014242417X	Absolutely Wonderful	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I loved this novel.  I couldn't believe the author wasn't a teenage girl with cancer - it seemed so...genuine.  I loved the insight into someone's mindset who's ""sick,"" and while the dialogue was a little mature for late-teens, it was just so wonderful.  Totally thought-provoking while being funny.  A must read!</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RC8NQ3KIBKSYJ?ASIN=014242417X	LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is one of the best books I've read in a long while, and I know that I will look at the world a whole new way now. Although it is not completely appropriate in language for some younger children I'd recommend this to teenagers (which I am), and adults of all ages. I hope everybody enjoyed this book as much as I did.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R379JRF7YB7CBP?ASIN=014242417X	falling in love- seeing the stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I don't know that I would have chosen to read this book years ago. I would have missed the wonderful world created by the reality of cancer. I laughed and cried and felt it all. I know in our lives we try to avoid pain- this book encourages us to lift our heads and live life. The love and the hurts do matter. We matter.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R284DEF4729ZK3?ASIN=014242417X	Loveingly told story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I couldn't stop reading this is spite of the tragic storyline.  We are so unaware of the sorrow that so many people face in this world. I thought the author portrayed the thoughts, feelings, fears and strengths of the young people that had such a burden in life to bear.<br/>Courage, humanity and humor were everywhere !</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RJ8N1PGRCK1BJ?ASIN=014242417X	Outstanding	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">It was a wonderful book full of inspirational quotes<br/>Words can not exactly explain how much i love this book and as only a 12 year old kid in is by far my favorite book and  i would recommend it for any age group it is so full of emotion that i cried at least 5 times john green has written a worderful piece of work</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1X8RCXXHAXVH?ASIN=014242417X	Thinker	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I heard about this book at an educator's training. The purpose was to get us to think about text. I liked the part they had us read and wanted to know more so I bought the book. While it took me some time to get through, I enjoyed it quite bit. It's a book to make you contemplate things and think about what's important.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1VXESIKQ69ZL2?ASIN=014242417X	Beautifully written	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was so well done! An amazing piece. It really made me think about my life and the lives of everyone around me. It also made me think about the unimaginable pain people with cancer have to go through. I haven't cried so hard in ages! I now have a completely new perspective on my life and how it should be lived.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R7ZUZHT8B3HU?ASIN=014242417X	awesome	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I cried.  I laughed.  I was love smitten.  It has everything and will definitely pull at your heart strings.  It's a great book on cancer victims, but definitely not an in-you-face, feel-sorry-for-me type book.  and for those that want to steer clear- there is alot of language and teenage sex ideology that is contained.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3T0L31OTD950A?ASIN=014242417X	It took my breath away (no pun intended)	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I have learned more things useful about life in this novel than i have learned in my life itself. To those who read this book I hope you understand Hazel's words and their importance.<br/><br/>Thank you John Green for being my new favorite author and making The Fault In Our Stars my new favorite book.<br/><br/>Okay.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2J9O8GFOWA6YW?ASIN=014242417X	Great but parents should read it first and discuss it with their teens	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I felt blessed to read this book.  The insight into disease and death by these young people was very enlightening and uplifting for me.  My hesitation in recommending it comes because of the life philosophies of the individuals, very worldly.  I am grateful for my faith in God and what He has promised for the next life.</span>"

3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2M88GFWOEQOUD?ASIN=014242417X	A beautiful story with moments of absolute transcendence	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">A beautiful story with moments of absolute transcendence. I found other moments just a hair too precious (""The beautiful couple is beautiful."") and a few sections felt like they worked too hard to be intellectual. That said, a really wonderful portrayal of the frustrations and beauty of adolescence and of love.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2CH5XP9FZRZ0B?ASIN=014242417X	Sad but lovely	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I wasn't going to read this, every one was talking about it and I just thought no, not reading it. And then I did. It made me laugh, it made me cry and then laughingly cry some more. That is what a well written story should do, it should draw you in and make you feel something, anything. This novel does that in spades.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2UTS3ODO5SDFK?ASIN=014242417X	Feels respectful and authentic.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I really enjoyed this book, even though it is tremendously sad. I'm a pediatric cancer survivor, and so much of what was written rang true, from my own experience but even more so the experience of friends of mine who had cancer as teens (I was a young child when I was diagnosed, and don't remember my pre-cancer life).</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2AVIL17EP88MI?ASIN=014242417X	Heartbreakingly beautiful	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Stop reading this review and buy The Fault in our Stars right now. You will not regret it. You will cry and be depressed for days, but just like Gus said at the end of the book: we can't help being hurt, but we do have some say in who hurts us. Let this book do the job, you will hate it, but you will love it even more.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R21LSLBMT6SOBU?ASIN=014242417X	I feel it was handled nicely without getting maudlin	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This was a very well written book that dealt with a very difficult subject.<br/>I feel it was handled nicely without getting maudlin.<br/>Teen cancer is not a popular subject but John Green made us understand all aspects of it.<br/>Like he says cancer is a grenade and when it goes off many are afected.<br/>Lorihigh</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3NN6WGHC7HU08?ASIN=014242417X	Perhaps Overated...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Hmm so, quite enjoyable, don't get me wrong. But unfortunately over-sold in my opinion. Too many people giving rave reviews, that unfortunately the book wasn't able to uphold :/<br/>Nonetheless, an eye opening read into real world of cancer. And yes, I did cry myself to sleep the night I finished it. Very emotional...</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1MME9CLX7Q5ZZ?ASIN=014242417X	Loved it, through all of the tears I couldn't help but smile.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I liked how realistic the author was about cancer. It's not always rainbows and sunshine and in fact most of the time it's not. Mostly I loved the characters. I loved the way they talked, thought and effortlessly brought me to tears. So easy to read I finished it in just a few hours because I just couldn't put it down.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R15MHANMZF06V4?ASIN=014242417X	Epitome of Challanges	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book reminds you that life's tragic yet meaningful situations revolve around the concept of :challenge. You challenge yourself, the problem, and the universe.<br/>It just so happens that two imperfect and faltered teenagers decided to champion that challenge together despite the risk of blowing  up like grenades.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RF9YZ35UGIYNP?ASIN=014242417X	A beautiful love story.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I thought this was a beautiful story and very well written.  Many times I found myself in tears while reading this story.  There was so much insight in what the characters were feeling while facing death.  So much bravery for such young people.  I hope I will be as brave as they were when my time comes to face the end.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RJ9PVFPCJFHLI?ASIN=014242417X	Waiting for more	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was ok. I guess I was expecting so much more because of all of they hype this novel has been receiving. But after reading it I was not all that impressed. I mean the story line was definitely there it was an ok book. But I guess I was just expecting more. Its a good beach book but I could take it or leave it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RZLSCG6E6G2L2?ASIN=014242417X	Emotional journey, love story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Lovely story,worth reading..  Though I liked Gus, his character seems too mystical and removed to be truly believable.Hazel's characterization is much more complete and believable. The author the couple meet with is also feels mythical and made of cardboard. The ending, a little too contrived. But still glad I read it.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R22H2HUDAK0RGN?ASIN=014242417X	AMAZING!!!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">best book I have ever read!!! just amazing!

4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R399SD7055RFNZ?ASIN=014242417X	The fault in our stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is one of a kind. Lately you don't find a book that makes you cry and forces to keep you reading when all the words are like stop lights at two in the morning, bright and blurry. This book made me realise goodness in life and to think positively about anything and everything. I recommend this book to everyone</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1XFJFRVYVPK3Z?ASIN=014242417X	AMAZING	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was truly amazing although it was a short read for a reader like me it was both heartfelt and sad. I liked how quickly to the point it got and how quickly the story line went. You will never get bored. If you like big words and intellectual talks you'll be a fan of this book. John Green truly out did himself.</span>"

It shows you true love, heartbreak, sickness and health. I believe this is a must read for any gender or age! But be prepared to read it all in one sitting because you won't be able to stop! Also, have some tissues available for when you cry :) I STRONGLY recommend this book- great job John Green!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1RJTDLOMIS6?ASIN=014242417X	Beautiful story!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This story...there are literally no words for it.<br/>John Green pieces together an amazing story about two cancer patients--one former and one current--who eventually fall in love. This story is definitely one to read.<br/>If you are the sensitive type, it is guaranteed to make you cry at the end, no doubt about it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R7ZOHK2OLHOYA?ASIN=014242417X	Book review	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I enjoyed the character and appreciated all of the obstacles of having cancer, but being obsessed with a book and what happened to the characters was stupid. I mean, flying to Amsterdm to talk to the author about what happened after the book was simply crazy. I thought this author could have come up with a better plot.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1OY9831E3TZHW?ASIN=014242417X	Review if The Fault in Our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Everyone knows that there are those out there battling cancer, but the story never usually goes much farther than that. You never hear anyone talk about their love life. That's what John Green did. He writes about real things that happen in the world that no one ever acknowledges and for that I admire him and his work.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3BVQK4FUUNC8I?ASIN=014242417X	WOW	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read this book in 1 day! I couldn't put it down. It's amazing! The writing is so beautiful. It's real, raw not a sugar coated romance. My aunt, who was my best friend, died of cancer...I know it may be silly, but I felt her in every page of this book. Thank you for writing this story that will forever be my favorite!</span>"

The story is everything and nothing that you would expect, and it breaks your heart in the best way possible. This is possibly one of my new favorite books, and John Green my new favorite author.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I liked it , although for a young person it was obviously written. I felt it was appropriate way to look at death from an easier view. Children are not as wrapped up with death as much as adults are, the family, the money, the guilt, the expenses. It also does look at guilt the entire prospect of the grieving process.</span>"

I found the book rather depressing, and guess I just didn't ""get it"" why she said it is the best book she has ever read!  It was not my favorite book.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RD5K0S8V3R10F?ASIN=014242417X	Great read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I couldn't put this book down. I love the way Green chose to let Hazel narrate The story. The relationship between Gus and Hazel seemed so real. I love when writers tell a story and it makes me feel like I KNOW the characters personally... John Green has done just that. A true romantic story. You won't be disappointed</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2JUR557LRRWUK?ASIN=014242417X	Didn't love it	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Terminal illness isn't always a pleasure to read about, but John Green makes the basic premise tolerable by his very interesting approach and characterizations.  He is obviously very well-read himself.  There are books I can hardly wait to get back to.  This isn't one of them.  I liked it nevertheless; didn't love it.</span>"

The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Written with the same honesty and wit as ""Perks of a Being a Wallflower"", this book SHINES! I read it in under 48 hours.

It's a romance. It's humerus. It's devastatingly tragic. And it offers so many delicious twists and turns that will shock you up to the very last page.

Many funny bits in a book about kids dying, but even short lives need funny bits. Perhaps short lives especially need funny bits. A very grown up, and tender look at a the human spirit. Also is compusive reading. I read it in 3 sittings, just couldn't stop.</span>"

I thought it was good, but not without it's faults, no pun intended.  Interesting characters, wrapped into a plausible story line with depth and real emotion.  Some parts were a bit unbelievable, one moment even took my breath away.  It's not perfect, but a good read overall.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1TW0VN93N5O7J?ASIN=014242417X	Why The Fault in Our Stars is written at a more adult perspective.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I'm a 15 year old  girl and I read this book about a year ago and fell in love with the book. Yes it makes the character's seem older but isn't that the point? John Green (the author) wrote the book like that to show that because the characters struggle from cancer they've had to grow up faster then normal teenagers.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1NPERY89GT57J?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing and emotional	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I wanted to read this book before I saw the film and I am so glad I did because there is no way the film is going to do this story justice. While reading, I laughed, got angry and of course cried my face off. This was the most beautiful romantic and heroic tale I've read in a very long time and I highly recommend it!</span>"

The characters are wonderfully complex and colourful, the dialogue original and the story telling gentle and understated. The book stays with you long after you finish reading.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3ICGRRCECNOZN?ASIN=014242417X	Great for young adults	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read this because several friends said it was great and I wanted to read it before seeing the movie.  I did not think it was all that great.  Friends cried buckets while reading this; I did not even get choked up.  I am a cancer survivor and thought I would be able to relate, but it must be for a young aged reader.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R119ETEA8AOAI6?ASIN=014242417X	Great read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">My granddaughter and her friends told  me to read this book. I loved the way hazel and Gus were so real with each other and seem to always put the other one first. Being a parent myself I could relate to the parents and their helplessness and pain. I will not see the movie. Not enough tissues in the world for that!!!</span>"

Some people use various parts of the body to describe me as I am not the nicest person in the world. However, this book made me rethink my whole mentality.

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RCI7CK0SZB3VG?ASIN=014242417X	I'm speechless.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">To say that this book was ""deep"" would be an understatement. I cried, I laughed, and it all sounds so cliche'... but it's true!  I don't think I will be able to (emotionally) handle the movie.  I am already missing Augustus😞 ""My thoughts are stars I cannot fathom into constellations"" ~Augustus Waters</span>"

I enjoyed the book so much and found myself in another world. That I was very ready to explore. If you like romance, adventure, and fun it is a great book for you. I will warn you the book can be depressing. So in the end I loved the book and wished there e<br/>was a sequel.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1WG9Y9SJ1GORX?ASIN=014242417X	An intriguing read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was a fascinating read. John Green's style of writing makes The Fault in Our Stars readable by teens and adults alike, but be warned, the subject matter is a bit heavy for the younger readers. I could not set this novel down until I was done, however the ending was somewhat slow paced, so I give it a 4 star</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R14BOQJ1L03Y3C?ASIN=014242417X	The truth	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I loved it. I bought the book two years ago and never read beyond the first 50 pages.

I recommend this book to those who have never experienced the loss of someone from cancer. It helps you understand cancer from a cancer patient's perspective, as well as help you become more empathetic for the family and friends who are also affected by this horrible disease.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I am a nurse and understand the lingo and need to talk. Somehow I missed the real point of this story. It did not make me want to see the movie, I think the author wanted to paint a picture of what it is like to have cancer (several different kinds) and how some folks cope with it. It wasn't a fun read by any means.</span>"

They fall in love, and it's predictable that one will end up dying by the end of the book.<br/><br/>The characters were both likable. And I can see teens really getting into this book. But it just didn't do much for me.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R14Z8SYPFV6T45?ASIN=014242417X	Best for teens	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">It was interesting enough, and I did appreciate the perspective on how terminally ill teens think and feel and want to be treated, but the characters were never really developed enough for me.  They came across sort of one-dimensional.  As a parent of teens, though, I think I am just not this book's target audience.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RV6SAN7C5B5V?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing Book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I loved the book and wish there was a sequel. The story was amazing and I would recommend it to every single one of my friends!

3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1MBOU7QS50HPC?ASIN=014242417X	Better than most teen fiction	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">An interesting read. Though i am older, i felt like this book accurately portrayed the outlook from a teen's perspective, although Hazel and Gus are not your ordinary teenagers. I can imagine that having cancer would make one a bit more introspective than most teens. Thought-provoking and sweet; I am glad i read it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RZ3AIH813M1OG?ASIN=014242417X	great story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">It was a tear jerker. Heartwarming to see love and the will to want to live expressed so eloquently..to have a small insight into what it must feel like to live with the prognosis of cancer and all the emotion that comes with it. Loved the characters. It was a great read. Thanks Hailey for telling me about this gem.</span>"

It's so unlike the other teen stories. This was witty and compelling.  I fell in love with each character.  The ending was a tragic but happy ending.

I didn't like the book much, it wasn't that interesting to me. If books were intriguing to me, I would read them to the end. I did like the storyline though!

I would have liked for Hazel to get the answers to her questions because I just wanted to know. Other than that, the story was so very sweet. The characters really understood the importance of time and being kind to others. It reminds you of what is important in life.</span>"

Once you start reading this book you won't be able to put it down!</span>"

Altough I'm so glad that I did. I just recently lost my brother Ronnie. Not to cancer although he did suffer through cancer. While reading this book I felt as though I could feel as he felt.

John green manages to capture the angst of teens who are forced to grow up too soon and a depth of understanding, even though he has not experienced this himself, that only one who has experienced this type of tragedy can convey.

I read it in a day and a half, I couldn't put down. Sometimes, I'd get a  it lost in all the poetry talk there was, but I kept reading. I wasn't disappointed.

2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R315AKQOXH3GP1?ASIN=014242417X	perfectly worded. something to inspire.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Breath taking. Great thoughts and a wonderful perspective on this horrific disease. Would recommend to anyone.<br/>The one thing I thought was that the word ""like"" could've been used slightly less, Hazel was an intelligent girl with an enhanced way of thinking.. ""Like"" does not fit her personality.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1GHOMSGHFXGAW?ASIN=014242417X	wonderful book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I have never written a review before but felt moved to do so after reading this book. This book invokes emotion with simple, honest and up front reality.  It's humor gave me smiles and the wry wit make me laugh.  It's truths made me cry.

I can honestly say that this book had a major impact on my life. It made me laugh, cry, smile, and at times I wanted to chuck it across the room. This book sent me on a roller coaster of emotions and it is by far John greens best book yet.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1YIAJTFQ7P05?ASIN=014242417X	I loved this book!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I cried many times throughout, but once Augustus called to ask for a eulogy and Hazel's parents wouldn't let her go, I was crying. Until the end of the book. And this was late-at-night-nobody-is-awake-one-in-the-morning sobbing. This book was over all amazing and made me laugh a lot as well, even when I was crying.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RW6YX5VN5H7T3?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault In Our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is now utterly one of the best books I have ever read. It made me laugh, it made me cry, and it over all made me think. Those are all the things that you could ever want out of a book. This book though, it different. It's beautiful and crude but it's so honest. It's a book inside of a book. It is amazing.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1XKB5KEFWRIE6?ASIN=014242417X	A Masterful Work.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">John Green Has done it, he has written a book which if it is not already, will one day be regarded as a classic.  Though, possibly to his chagrin, in many years this book, though truly fantastic and full of awesome in every way, may be required reading in schools, thereby making it less loved by future generations.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2BUFB1NROFBMK?ASIN=014242417X	Got me reading again.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I hadn't read a book for a good 2-3 years until I picked up this book. It was very easy to get absorbed in because John Green speaks truth in a way that's incredibly easy to relate to. I found myself highlighting and referencing all sorts of pieces of this book.<br/><br/>Fantastic read. Would recommend to anyone!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R67SZMTNOFGQW?ASIN=014242417X	Insightful, heartfelt and realistic, with a touch of cynicism.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The main thing I liked about this book is how realistic it portrayed life. Nothing is sugarcoated, and yet relating to the characters in the book is so simple. It also gives a touching insight to the lives and struggles of others dealing with not-so-perfect health. Not my type of book, but still thoroughly enjoyed.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R330YOHUIXJCMH?ASIN=014242417X	The only book that has made me burst out in tears	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was brilliantly plotted by the master mind of course John Green. He gives you what you want and then he throws it in your face like a stale sandwich. As in the title this is the only book that made me shed much more than just a tear,he made my heart ache and break at the same time. John Green is a Genius!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R201UH666EUBZR?ASIN=014242417X	Non Boring Novel	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This was a fantastic read! It really got me thinking and it wasn't like a normal, boring, predictable novel. It had a big plot twist that I wasn't expecting at all. Lots of big words too but I really liked that aspect. It got me thinking and it was far from boring. Loved it and recommend it for anyone and everyone!</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RN8GDB10TW4QC?ASIN=014242417X	Good	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I enjoyed reading this book. It was a fairly quick and easy read. It read like it is written more for a teen or young adult audience but I enjoyed it still. Some of the young character dialogue was a bit too adult and not believable for me. The subject of children with cancer may be tough for some to handle though.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2LYDYXOGEPHR8?ASIN=014242417X	Oh John. You Got Chops.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Philosophy for the masses, complex epistemological ideas folded into a quiet teen romance? This is not a perfect book, like this life is not a perfect life, but it has a lot to say, perhaps too much to say, and I'm really glad John Green ignored his inner critic and wrote it all down. This book is a single moment.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R20X4FDKF5VQR3?ASIN=014242417X	Love the characters	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The book is well written and entertaining.  Love the characters.  Warning--I found the book depressing. I could not stop reading it, even tho I knew it was going to depress me.  The story itself is sad and realistic.  I was more in the mood for a happier ending.  It was an enjoyable read, just not what I expected.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2EA73GO1MC33T?ASIN=014242417X	Wow	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">It was so touching. The story of star crossed lovers and being teens with cancer made me cry. Augustus was a sweet character and he reminds me of someone I love very much. Hazel reminds me of someone who was the most beautiful, inside and out, person I knew. This is book is a must read. It was very heart-wrenching</span>"

Amazing voice. Loved the story and the storytelling. The lost half star is due to Peter Van Houten. I never really appreciated his presence in the book although I do understand how he connects to the plot. I found him always a distraction.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1TNV1ND1YV2AP?ASIN=014242417X	A unique heart wrenching perspective on life, love and death	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Who doesn't love a love story? The author gave readers a chance to experience the bittersweet-ness of first love between Hazel and Augustus, two teenagers living with cancer. Wise beyond their years, Hazel and Gus compare philosophies on living, loving and dying; finding comfort in being understood by one another.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3429PLO97KYUD?ASIN=014242417X	Invoking the understanding of mortality and acceptance	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Loved it!  Hard to explain how much you can love a book without a happy ending, but it just felt like you can fill in the blanks.  Being an adult, it makes you remember your own mortality while  invoking questions and opening doors to younger adults what it's like if they have never loved and lost.  Very touching.</span>"

The writing was so fluid and it seemed more like watching a movie than reading. the story was touching, insightful, honest, sad and uplifting at the same time. I realize it is a 'young adult' book, however I am in my 40's and found it a great read.</span>"

I had my friends tell me the basics and the ending but I decided to still read it. Even with knowing the basics of the story, I cried, in school, when I read it. It was truthfully an amazing book and I can't wait for the movie to come out on the 6th.</span>"

Maybe kids who go through trauma are that way. It is the love story of Gus and Hazel. It is sad and heart wrenching.

It's set against the back drop of sickness, death and dying, making the need to get right to reality all the more important. The story had sentiment in the way it was non-sentimental. It's a story line where you can expect the unexpected.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I can't say enough about this book, but wouldn't want to ruin it for others by possibly over hyping it.

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Irreverent, thought-provoking, realistic -- so realistic it seemed like it HAD to be nonfiction.

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">""The Fault in our stars"" is such an amazing story that I could have never imagined all by myself.

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2TJ3T7QEQBNO0?ASIN=014242417X	I enjoyed the writing however would have liked more depth in ...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Well written with extra poetical tid-bits. I enjoyed the writing however would have liked more depth in the characters. Even for teenagers there just wasn't enough for me to be emotionally invested. I am usually very emotionally vested in the characters I read about, but I had a difficult time with this book.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RDKA49M29JIUZ?ASIN=014242417X	Not a good read.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I did not like the book. It was a slow to get off to at first and was not interesting enough to keep me intriqued. Too much foul language for a teen romance novel geared toward a younger reader. Even though they had terminal diseases it does not and should not promote sex for teens as if it is a casual thing.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2N6L71QT7J7UP?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in Our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is really descriptive. I've never known anyone with cancer but I can still understand what it feels like when someone you love has cancer. I think the age range should be from 11 and up because pretty much all my friends hve read his book. I really love this book and I think every one should read it</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RGGRCNSRZOIFS?ASIN=014242417X	Got cancer?  You must read this book!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is tough on the emotions,but we'll worth your time.  A must for teens and young adults as it is extremely instructional on matters of terminal illness and those who love and care for a terminally ill person.  Many love stories within.  Love between parent and child, boy and girl and between friends.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R11SYKM46BQ8ZC?ASIN=014242417X	Good book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I gave this book only 4 stars because it is not one of the best books I have read, although, I did enjoy it. I purchased it and read it because of all the hype surrounding the book and the movie. I would recommend the book to book clubs. I think this book would make an excellent choice to discuss at meetings.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1GFRCWMMR4P9G?ASIN=014242417X	A wonderful story.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I really enjoyed this book.  John Green gently drives home the point that these are just two regular kids coping with the fact that they happen to have cancer.  The book is never preachy or trite--as Hazel Grace would say, it's not a ""cancer book.""  It's a beautiful love story that ends much too soon.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RKEE18RZAXRCD?ASIN=014242417X	This is a great read!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">this book brings reality to the world of death.  the reader experiences the emotional roller coaster these characters face in their battles with an all consuming disease.  they face the world with a strength that many will never know or have to use.  this book contains laughter, tears, and thoughts very deep.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2KMJS35OSVWXV?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault In Our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is very well written and has some relatable characters. The story follows Hazel, a cancer patient with a cynical view on life. That slowly changes when she meets Augustus Waters at a cancer support group. He teaches her to live life to the fullest. There wasn't anything I didn't like about the book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RUP20MITGQ57Y?ASIN=014242417X	Inspiring	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book offers some valuable life lessons. I was like Augustus, wanting t  leave a mark on the world. This book has taught me to just notice the universe and that will be enough. This review isn't as technical as others, it's more philosophical. But oh well. Thanks for writing this wonderful book John Green</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3HW86OA7Z7Y47?ASIN=014242417X	Resoundingly thought provoking and heartbreakingly bittersweet	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I'll admit that some of the material went over my head, but I couldn't stop reading this book. While the book showed the life of people living with cancer it also showed the importance of living for someone else. The many struggles of teens are not forgotten and Hazel and Gus are a couple worth reading about.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RERS8FFM8UT8I?ASIN=014242417X	beautiful upsetting	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is amazing. I've read it so many time the past few years and it makes me laugh, cry, sigh, and feel so many emotions every time. It's beautifully written and I love all the characters and John Green couldn't have written it any better. He is an unbelievable writer and everyone should read this book.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RW2PK7YFPKMJK?ASIN=014242417X	Fault in our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys crying over fiction in a good way. The fault in our stars will scar you and will stay in your mind. The quotes will linger creepily in your mind and every time you speak quote you will explode with sadness. John Green will make you hate and love him at the same time.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1Q99EKX6PJHVI?ASIN=014242417X	Just on  of my favorite authors	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I absolutely love this book,it was very descriptive and..for me I could really connect with the characters(but mostly Hazel). I  literally stayed up for five hours...from 10:00pm to 3:10am. I would totally recommend this book... but like who wouldn't ? Can't wait for the movie to come.<br/><br/>  #Bringiton</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2D6MO0ZZAG1YZ?ASIN=014242417X	Read!!!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">My friend had this book sitting on her desk today in school. I read the first few pages and then as soon as I got home I began reading it. This book was amazing, yet heart wrenching at the same time. My aunt, whom I'm very close to got diagnosed with cancer less than a week ago, so this story really hit home.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3SDMBYQOF1EV3?ASIN=014242417X	Unexpectedly amazing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I downloaded this on a whim for a road trip and am so happy I did. It is so well written that you forget you are even reading, it just flows through you. I will say you know what is coming, but like an oncoming train, you can't stop it and it doesn't hurt any less. Do yourself a favor and read it immediately.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R371KVZZ2GR6CE?ASIN=014242417X	What it is to be human.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is true.  I don't mean that the characters are real people, but rather it is true in the sense that they could be.  It is a little slice of what it means to be human, the good, the bad, and beautiful and the humiliating.  If all art holds a mirror up to the world, this book is a perfect reflection.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R381G4PA89UHGQ?ASIN=014242417X	A great read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I did enjoy this book. heard about it from a radio book club. The announcer did like it so I had to read it!  I loved the characters, their wit and humour in adversity. cleverly crafted and written.  Having had cancer, I can relate, but being younger would bring its own challenges for these young characters.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3OKC07NYSE14J?ASIN=014242417X	First book I've read in 8 years	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I'm glad I finally picked up my kindle and put it to use. This was an easy read and I finished fairly quickly as I was hooked since chapter 1. I'm a softy and get very emotional with sad movies, stories, etc. Needless to say, I started crying in chapter 15 through the end  of the book. What an amazing story.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2406HMPA5YSA4?ASIN=014242417X	Insider's View	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">It was instructive to step into the lives of these brave young adults and see their true outlook on their fates because of cancer.  They did not pity themselves  but tried to live out their short lives as fully as possible. I applaud the author for handling this difficult subject with grace, humor and truth.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RRYVX579JALWE?ASIN=014242417X	wonderful story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Started reading this because I found the trailers for the movie interesting. The book was so much more. I loved every word of Hazel and Augustus' love story. Read the book in 3 days and could read it over and over. If you haven't picked this book up yet do it is well worth the read. Can't wait for the movie.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1W4EIHPSD97YJ?ASIN=014242417X	Ended Too Soon	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This was a great read and I can totally see it as a movie. However, the 4 stars as opposed to 5 stars is because I felt the ending came too quickly. If there is a sequel, then I understand, but it just seemed a lot of effort went into developing the story and the ending seemed like Green just stopped typing.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R216J5O0J21L5W?ASIN=014242417X	Get your Kleenex out!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This was very well written. The characters were likable and easy to get to know. This story gave me a deeper understanding of what a teenage cancer patient goes through. I loved that the female lead was attractive mainly because she was smart and witty, not for just for her looks. VERY. SAD. STORY. Be ready.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RIGYLK4NPPWWR?ASIN=014242417X	I will definitely be rereading this	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was so amazing. I've never read anything like it before. It made me laugh and it made me cry. A lot. But mostly it made me think about things differently, and I think it takes a special type of writer to be able to do that to people. Hazel Grace and Augustus Waters will always be real people to me.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2QMVH9F2IG9ZQ?ASIN=014242417X	AMAZING	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is amazing. It gives opinions about life deeper than I could ever imagine. It is a story of love mainly, so if you like that kind of stuff this is for you. And if you just need a good book to read I recommend it to you. But at the end, I find that there isn't enough detail. But it is still AMAZING.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2JFLBLPS5VTNW?ASIN=014242417X	Sad...but good	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">this should be required reading for every oncology pediatric nurse. As one, it tore at my heart, but made me so happy at the normal stuff they encountered while falling in love.  I would think this would be sad for young adults to read yet very helpful too if they had a friend going through cancer treatment.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1OEHMJTY0B48T?ASIN=014242417X	Incredible	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The fault in our stars is an amazingly well written and detailed book that keeps you captivated from start to finish.

4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RC79DK7L5CPLG?ASIN=014242417X	Sad but O! So true..	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">When I started reading this book I was very sad knowing that these young people had to deal with so many issues but as I continued to read my thoughts turned to the strength and courage that these young people pulled from their soul and the reality of life and death just a circle that we all will deal with..</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R15SIQJLFL8J9D?ASIN=014242417X	The best book about cancer. Ever.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is probably my new favorite book ever, and John Green is my new favorite author. This book had me utterly confused on how I was supposed to feel about it. And I was okay with that. I cannot wait for the movie version to come out so I can see it and hopefully it is just as moving as it was when I read it</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RW49URZ6UGKIJ?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was astonishing. Meaningful, lovable, flat out amazing. After reading some books, you never feel the same about some things again. This is one of those times. John Green is an amazing writer. He has just the right touch of humor, romance, and general sadness. I can't wait to read more of his books.</span>"

I felt as if I was actually there in the story as the events took place. It was heartfelt and so emotional. I was brought to tears many times. But this book is really great for teenagers. Yes it's very emotional, but it's also a great book to read if you are going through a struggle.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1AAM9VYMGNDGY?ASIN=014242417X	Rich and beautiful story.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I cried through out the second half of this book. The story is so very beautiful. The emotions of each person so exact. The philosophical reference is right on the money. This book was so rich in its language and thought that I don't want to read anything else by this writer, I am afraid it will disappoint.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2ABPPX86Q25HA?ASIN=014242417X	"Star ""Light"""	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This was well written and had interesting young characters. I'm sure anyone who has known, or has been a child with a potentially terminal illness, would appreciate the frankness and humor the characters employ. That said, this still struck me as a YA novel or ""After School Special"". A bit of a lightweight.</span>"

4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R377X1U7C1R0GV?ASIN=014242417X	Great read!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is an amazing depiction of true unrequited love! I love the depth of the characters as well as the mature vernacular that was used. The Fault in Our Stars just might be amongst my favorite books. I feel like I definitely need to go watch the movie now although I'm sure it will pale in comparison!</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1VUB4GOW3C10Z?ASIN=014242417X	Beautiful Story of Life and Death	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I loved this book. I was drawn in by John Green's writing, and I fell for the characters and their struggles.It was both tragic and funny. Some may think the ending wasn't enough, but considering the circumstances, I thought it was perfect. I only wished I could read more, that's how much I liked the book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R364NTFY7AH7R6?ASIN=014242417X	Great Life Lessons!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">My grandson has leukemia and is a teen-ager so reading this book had a great deal of personal meaning. The characters in the book shared their ideas about being young and dying and while that may sound morbid, it caused me to reflect on my own life-views - especially living in the moment. A beautiful book!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R398OXKMXSMMXT?ASIN=014242417X	Surprisingly Unmaudlin	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">It's not common to find a male writer that can make a convincing teenage girl's narrative voice. It's not often female writers manage it. This is the first book by John Green that I've read. I enjoyed it because of the convincing situations and interesting side characters, especially Van Houton, and Isaac.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RR5NNET5R8S3J?ASIN=014242417X	Good heartbreaking read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">It's a very compelling read. It's heartbreaking but gives a realistic insight to what children/teens who suffer from cancer experience on a social level. As your reading, your desire for a different outcome is so strong, but in the end this fictional novel proves to be quite non-fictional in its storyline.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RXHCIQJM5KLGY?ASIN=014242417X	I liked it	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">""The Fault in Our Stars"" was a good book, not amazing for me, but still good. I didn't cry (probably because I read a spoiler), but I laughed. I didn't LOL, but I HA!'d. A lot.<br/><br/>I liked the characters very much and I'm glad I finally decided to read this book. Go read it, it's a good one.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3JOUATL9EW8PQ?ASIN=014242417X	"Teens ""Surviving"" Cancer"	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Although the concept of teens dealing with cancer is not new, this approach is and the end of the story is not predictable. Particularly see the parallel in the book the title character uses for inspiration and Green's story. I surely hope that John Green is not as despicable as the author the teens visit.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R36VQ1L8LMRBVJ?ASIN=014242417X	Ok book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">It was an ok book.  Slightly predictable for me and boring at times. It was not a book I could just not put down like some others I have read. But not a complete waste of time or money.  This book did not draw me in emotionally like others can.  It was not very believable.  Hoping the movie will be better.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2LL81009GPE4Q?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in Our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read this book after watching  the movie. Like time and time again the book holds so much more detail and understanding behind the story. Personally, I am glad I watched the movie first and then read the book because I don't think I could have watched the movie. Great book, keeps you thinking about life.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2BBT8HX1TESUT?ASIN=014242417X	So Happy...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I put off reading this book for a while, knowing there wouldn't be the needing I typically enjoy reading. After talking to people who had read it and reading reviews of people I look to for great books,mi gave in. So happy I did! Fabulous story, the characters took on a larger than life personality for me.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is an exceptional story of friendship, love, compassion, and sharing. Highly recommend reading this. It's a great story about the courage and sharing of two teens headed down a road of heart-wrenching circumstances while making the best of bad situations. Gives friendship and love a whole new meaning.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3B09UJCF7L1B3?ASIN=014242417X	Better than the movie.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I waited to see the movie until I finished the book and I'm glad I did. Everything from characters, to dialogue, plot turns, and family relationships were deeper and richer in the book. It made the movie seem like pretty people playing prettily sick, stringing together memorable Green quotes from the book.</span>"

A friend told me I needed to read this story.  Sure enough it is the first book I've finished from cover to cover in less than a day! The Fault in Our Stars will move you, make you laugh and bring tears to your eyes.  I highly recommend reading this book!</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Both my teens, a 13 yr old boy and a 16 yr old girl couldn't say enough about this book. They were like, ""Mom, you HAVE to read this!"" So glad they turned me on to it. I laughed, cried, and couldn't put it down. Hope they do justice to it in the movie! Getting ready to do a John Green marathon.....</span>"

But this one didn't strike me as one either. Yet it had a very unique perspective, many sophisticated thoughts and loveable metaphors. It questions norms and human nature, with a will to understand us in different ways. As a person who reads very little, I am amazed.</span>"

Definitely an amazing read that will evoke feelings you may not know you have!!!</span>"

Most books about cancer are awful and sad but the only sad thing about this book ( spoiler alert!) Augustus dies! Poor Augustus! Also, I advise you be 10 or older to read this book. Read the book before you see the movie.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This was an easy to read novel, that was still beautifully written and stimulating.

Some of the material was a bit mature, but nothing she couldn't handle. Parents should check it out first and decide for themselves if they're ready to discuss some of the topics with their kids.

Besides being a thoughtful and a sweet little love story, reading it gave me a glimpse of some of the emotions a teen with cancer may be experiencing, and thus will impact my future interactions with someone in that situation.</span>"

I felt like the experience of cancer, by the victim and the family, was uncensored and realistic. You see the highs and lows and really get connected to the characters. Of course it is a sad story, but there is still so much happiness in it.</span>"

I currently have a friend who has cancer, and it was very eye opening- but I wonder how factual a lot of the feelings in the book are- however I told her not to read it.

This s not A Cancer Book, but rather a love story, with two highly intelligent and slightly snarky teenagers in the main roles.  It is one of those books that has saddened me by its ending; I want to know more (not coincidentally a main theme in the book).  Read it and love it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2XQIA4E90013L?ASIN=014242417X	A Heartfelt story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">A sad but kind story about the struggles of two young people with devastating illnesses. The ending was unexpected. I really enjoyed the dialogue and humor in the book. It was a great read. At times it was a bit outlandish especially the trip to Europe. However it is a book I would recommend to others.</span>"

2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2CCJYX5Q6OUKH?ASIN=014242417X	The fault in my review	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars was an enjoyable book that gave you two different looks on life from different people. Though I watched the movie first, my judgment feels so far unaffected. The book is its own and though geared for romance what is underlying is so much more than just two people falling in love.</span>"

I laughed and I cried and fell in love with Augustus Waters.<br/><br/>If you're looking for a book like the movie this isn't it.

4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2USZP4TESTDAB?ASIN=014242417X	Really Good Writing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The story sounded predictable, but it turned and ended in a way completely unforeseen. It does portray the struggle of what happens after death as well as the purpose of life. I felt a sadness that the characters didn't have the hope I have in eternity. I will definitely be reading more by this author.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2SR4NQUROTTRB?ASIN=014242417X	AMAZING BOOK	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was the most well-written book i've read so far. There was ups, and downs. I'm not going to tell u what happens, except that Hazel Grace Lancaster goes to a cancer support group, and meets this (supposedly hot) guy, Augustus Waters. You will ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO READ IT (if you already haven't)</span>"

Beyond my expectations	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I was doubting the praise of the book, then I read it, and I was amazed. John Green really knows how to write. Now, I'm probably gonna get some s*** for reading The Fault in Our Stars, but I don't care! If there's one thing I learned from reading this, it's learning how to deal with s***. Kudos, Green!</span>"

I couldn't put it down.  My grandaughter suggested I read it and Wow it was phenomenal.  Being a nurse I could relate to those characters and their ups and downs.  Did not expect that ending. It had me from the first page.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1DE1626PQCOEA?ASIN=014242417X	A True Love Story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">It is a beautiful but tragic story. You are unable but feel the pain as the various character battle dreadful illnesses and fall in love with them at the same time. This story is not the silly love-at-first-sight, kind of story. But an actual love story with memories made and shared between two people.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3FWAGH5WHVS5V?ASIN=014242417X	Our precious stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book does show the honest truth of the universe and allows us to share it with each other. Words to describe a story such as this can only come on pages in the form of a book, but if you feel the emotion pouring out of it's pages you can understand the real meaning the author is trying to provide.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1AT4VZZFNE6R8?ASIN=014242417X	Excellent	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">My daughter begged me to read this book and I am so glad I did. I actually cried my eyes out in the end. Living with cancer as an adult is not easy, but having it when your young would be a nightmare and these characters deal with it. The surprise ending is not something I saw coming. It's a must read.</span>"

It's all here, in The Fault In Our Stars. Thank you, John Green.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R36Q3H17IX0XCE?ASIN=014242417X	Be thankful	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">While this book it's in fact a tear jerker at moments, it also offers much more. That is, an insight into lives that are taken too soon. However, it does not evoke pity it evokes reflection and thankfulness, it evokes a seize the day attitude and most of all it evokes beauty in selfless and young love.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3NV5JQJ8UIB5U?ASIN=014242417X	Not A cancer story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Yes, the characters in this book have cancer, but this book is not about cancer at all.

When I finished the book I couldn't stop thinking of the characters and I knew the next book I would read wouldn't be the same high level with such rich characters as this one.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1QDXXOK0BO6Y6?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I did not know what to expect from this novel, but what I found was more than I could have hoped for. I hear they are going to ruin this beautiful work with a movie. Please read the book. See the film if you must. But read this first. There is no way a movie of these words can touch you like this book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3I0NJIL6MGB5Z?ASIN=014242417X	Best book I've read in the past six months!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I actually read this book in one day.  I couldn't put it down.  Thankfully, I was home alone in my bedroom when I reached the end.  It is always amazing to me that just words on a page can evoke such strong emotion from a reader.  This story had me sobbing.  The story is genuine and written with heart.</span>"

I love this book and I want everyone to read this beautiful masterpiece! If you are thinking of reading this, I highly encourage it. John Green is now probably my second favorite author. He knows what he's doing.</span>"

I was drawn to the main characters quickly, and found the story compelling. I had a little trouble believing the author character, but in the end understood what made him tick. Definitely recommend, but keep a box of Kleenex handy.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The romance of two teenagers that fall victims of cancer is so heartfelt that you will surely cry.

Everyone told me this was a truly touching story, and that I'd bawl my eyes out. Read the whole thing in about 4 and a half hours, without a tear.

2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3ON1E7HO321PP?ASIN=014242417X	Really nothing special...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is just like any other teen novel... I don't find anything special about it like the rest of my peers do. To be honest, it's just like another Nicholas Sparks book. It's not a Christian novel in any way, shape, or form. If you are a Christian, it might be hard to not get offended (it was for me).</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2753YIBV5IBJZ?ASIN=014242417X	Loved it!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">So well written.  When a book evokes any emotion be it anger,laughter,sadness, sorrow or grief that is a job well done.

2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/ROHB8X25OZJ1X?ASIN=014242417X	Pretty typical tear-jerker, but I still cried.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Some parts are funny.  Want to see the movie to see how the script may differ as far as dialogue, because the main 2 characters are supposed to be pretty smart and it's hard to imagine real 16- and 17-year-olds speaking in some of the word-play that is written here.  However, I still enjoyed the book.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">As a former high school English teacher and current thirtysomething, I know of the power of John Green.

2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3TW70C5VZCHIX?ASIN=014242417X	The Chinese Buffet of books	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The beginning was clever and funny, 3/4 of the book was fantastic.  The last chapter or two took a dump.  It was still a good book overall, but it should have ended sooner.  I'm not talking about the subject matter, but the actual writing.  It really had me thinking up until the last couple chapters.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R11AJXLLTCT3AL?ASIN=014242417X	A book that lives up to the hype!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read this book to determine if it was acceptable for my daughter to read.  After all the hype I had low expectations as they rarely live up to the hype.  This book was a refreshing surprise.  It is very well written and engaging.  I was immediately hooked!  I would recommend this book for all ages.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R33ZVSM29ENIX8?ASIN=014242417X	Great Novel	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I was thinking it was used because of the low price, but it was just Amazon providing benefits to it's customers. The book is amazing and well written. The story flows very well and each chapter transitions smoothly into the next. As always, the novel is more detailed (and better, IMO) than the film.</span>"

It wasn't because of the movie that I finally read this...I just finally got around to it. John Green captures the essence of these young adults--their feelings,emotions, actions and their understanding of what they are in the middle of. Very good!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R38HU2N5SU6F9M?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing absolutely AMAZING!!!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is a fantastic book. I chose it because I am going to see the movie so I had to read the book, but it turned put to be so much more than a book.

I have now read it twice and each time I read it, I could not put the book down. It is a sad book, however, I don't think it's intended to be a sad, sad story. Rather I appreciate the spirit of Hazel and Gus and I would say the book is more like Perks of Being a Wallflower.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RIUSP86KPJ6L8?ASIN=014242417X	Highly Recommend	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Is it bad that I cried for about 1/2 of this book? Do not read in public, it's tragic and beautiful and twisty turny in its plot. I thought it would be a book for kids, but despite being about high school students, it will rip at your heart and you can easily forget that you aren't there with them.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3GRBKTB6SG347?ASIN=014242417X	Not What I Expected	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I downloaded this because one of my students was reading it just before Spring Break.  I like to stay current with what my 5th graders are reading.  I had not read a review or preview...tough topic, sad outcomes and complex lessons for readers to take away.  Wondering what my student thought of it.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1ICSJH6MBV3H8?ASIN=014242417X	Very Good Young Adult Novel	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Enjoyed the read.  I could tell it is directed to a teen audience, and I am okay with that.  A little unbelievable, I also viewed the film version, and in general enjoyed both very much.  The book, as is often the case, was better, but the movie wasn't bad--acting was excellent, beautiful scenery.</span>"

Fortunately worth it.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3PDP4VWK5VVML?ASIN=014242417X	Emotional with a smirk	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Very much enjoyed. A book with very serious main topics and u are afraid this whole experience is going to be a downer. Quite the opposite,while there are depressing events they are never without vibrant thought. It takes the gloom out of it all and gives it meaning ,on both sides of the spectrum.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1CLHYKP68NQVE?ASIN=014242417X	Romeo and Juliet with Cancer	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Lots of teenage angst here. Yes, I get that the kids are suffering from cancer. I just don't really enjoy reading about young lives cut short by this horrific disease. It's another version of Romeo and Juliet, two star-crossed teenagers whose lives end too soon. Sorry, but it was just okay for me.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3H8F0YCP1GPHD?ASIN=014242417X	a good teenage angst tearjerker	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Maybe a bit sappy, but we all need a good tearjerker once in a while.  I loved the way that the author portrayed Hazel as a bright young woman who had come to terms (in a way) with her condition.  She was cynical and matter-of-fact about her prognosis and about romance things without being bitter.</span>"

4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RW7DOVARBLJKD?ASIN=014242417X	The anxiety of a death sentence	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Very moving.  I DO understand what another reviewer said about the language - it was hard to PRONOUNCE some of the words.  let alone know what they meant.  BUT, not being around teenagers for a very long time, it may be the way they talk today- plus these two read books that I have never heard of.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3V6YVLFNVVZRB?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in Our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">A book that makes your cry is always a book that is worth reading. Loved it, easy to read &amp; get into the story just wanted things to get better but we all know that's not how things go. A book that shares so much &amp; makes you thing about life,time &amp; love. Read it we all need to smile &amp; think &amp; cry.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2UHCWADGVZO6Y?ASIN=014242417X	Painfully beautiful	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I couldn't ask for a better book. I heard about it but reading a book first is better than seeing the movie first. The love story between Hazel and Augustus tore my heart into little pieces but they know the prices will get out back together again. I would re-read this and feel the same each time.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">John Green could probably come up with the accolades to do justice to this story (of course he wouldn't) but I can't. Suffice it to say that it is one of the most powerful books I have ever (and I suspect I will ever) read.  My only regret about it is that I can't read it for the first time again.</span>"

The sarcasms and quick wit keep you addicted to this relationship, helping you feel their joy, their pain, and their struggle.<br/><br/>Hazel and Augustus are two characters that will stay with you, even after the he book is finished. I love that!</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RHOE7R5EIAAH1?ASIN=014242417X	Funny sad	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">A story that's laugh out odd humor and yet it broke my heart. It pissed me  how all that happened; yet I loved the story on how- even with their odds- they still lived.  Contradict each other and still have their version of a love story. Books are powerful and they bring many people their truth.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2HPR322T8ZHYL?ASIN=014242417X	But after his amazing review I decided to give it a go	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was phenomenal. At first, I bought it for my son. But after his amazing review I decided to give it a go. This book brought forth an array of emotions from both me and my son. Tears, laughter, joy and sadness. You name it and this book probably has it. Great book, absolutely recommend!</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2ISOCU4FBLOBO?ASIN=014242417X	Sweetly written and captured my heart	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I stumbled upon this book knowing nothing about its topic; only knowing that it was extremely popular and often talked about, though I obviously never listened to those talks. I purchased it and began to read and was immediately swept into the story. It was sweetly written and captured my heart.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3KX7UT4THXJXA?ASIN=014242417X	eh	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read this because I like to read books before movies, it's something I enjoy getting pissed off at people for ruining books. I do not like how this whole book is basically written about a different book, but I still was interested at points. Would I recommend? Eh. Let's see how the movie goes.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RXKLI9VP3G1LO?ASIN=014242417X	amazing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Did not think I would cry but what an amazing read.<br/>I truly like the quote “But it is the nature of stars to cross, and never was Shakespeare more wrong than when he has Cassius note, ‘The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars / But in ourselves.”<br/>― John Green, The Fault in Our Stars</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2NSL29KFHC2CQ?ASIN=014242417X	Fantastic book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book represents the truth about the world, the dark parts, the light parts, and the unfair parts. The authors philosophy and wisdom is extraordinary, and this book represents reality so well, it will make you cry. John Green has made an incredible book and I can't wait to read more of them.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RRQ21AKC07BX7?ASIN=014242417X	I like it	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">An emotionally charged book but will be interesting to see how it holds up over the years.  I read half this book, returned it to the library, then purchased it and forgot I had read half the book previously until I was a quarter of the way through...I'll say that's a reflection on me but still.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2TEHA8CL3OE8V?ASIN=014242417X	Faultless story-telling	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The story of a journey that is sufficient in itself without the need for answers or a happy ending. Not the usual story of ill and ill-fated teenagers. Eccentric, witty, out-of-left-field. A creative story not fettered by a need for realism. I don't like tear-jerkers and this wasn't one of them.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2WEFF9GZHQT2K?ASIN=014242417X	Just OK	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book didn't live up to the 4.5 stars. It started out with potential but just didn't get there.  This book was a young adult book; however the characters did not speak like adults and the descriptions were not those of an adult.  It went on like that through out the book, which was annoying.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R34TF4B1O58AIQ?ASIN=014242417X	Good read! Painful, yet thought provoking.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Lost a daughter to cancer. Hazel's thoughts and feelings were so familiar. It was a painful yet thought provoking read. I cried but I'm glad I read it. I think anyone who has someone afflicted with cancer should read this book. Everyone wants to be remembered for who they are, not what they had.</span>"

Most of what I heard was good... I am here to say that what I heard was wrong.  Not a good book... A MARVELOUS ONE.  Kept me riveted to my seat...hoping for what I knew wasn't going to be.  Tears fell and laughter came and I'll re read it before the summer is over.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3DTI6EBYUV1RK?ASIN=014242417X	Predictable	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">It was a good book to read once. I think it was over-hyped. The story didn't really pull me in, I never even came close to teary, and I knew how it would end before I was even halfway through. Nice easy read while waiting on other books on your TBR list, but not one I would consider a must read.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1HYCYLTIGAYTY?ASIN=014242417X	True love .	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I started reading this book be for I saw the movie, didn't know there was a movie, till my grand daughters told me. I saw the movie, when I was half way through the book, and again the book had more story to it. The movies was well worth going to see, but books are the best. Read the book first.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RPYJ1PZFDKTKA?ASIN=014242417X	To sad	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">To sad that the whole story was so real.  Mr. Green  opened the can of worms to bring reality in my face.  Because I am old the cancer word at my age is not as frightening as . It may be, however I know in my heart the sadness those young people must feel and God forbid the parents be forgotten.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2M9YW8ZOUB769?ASIN=014242417X	I Laughed, I Cried, I Loved It	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Given that I am older than dirt, it's amazing how much I like teen fiction. This probably isn't great literature, but it is a nice story with very appealing characters. It's one of those books that I finished, then went right back to page 1 to re-read. It was a great catharsis. Highly recommend.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R28J0B48C4QMQB?ASIN=014242417X	great book that makes you think	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I bought this book to read once I saw the commercials for the movie! It was a so good that I read it in an evening and the next morning. I will still go see the movie but I am sure it will not leave as a lasting impression as this book did. I only hope to know the love that Gus and Hazel felt!!!</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2BNQUPQXQEQUK?ASIN=014242417X	perfect	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">this book can be read so many ways. you can read it just for the intense love story and read it in like 4 hours nonstop or you can spend your time going over the parts where there is a long paragraph of just like wise words that take a while to decipher, but then you're just like ""woah"".</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3GKM3JFG1VDNB?ASIN=014242417X	still crying	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I've resisted reading this book as I figured it would be the typical everyone loves it book. Generally those books are poorly written, lack plot, character development and make you regret the precious time you wasted reading that book. Not this one. I wish there was more but know there can't be.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1SKPVFC906TCB?ASIN=014242417X	Beautiful and tearful	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Hazel Grace is an amazing person with quite a story. Nearing the end of this book I cried, just as Hazel did when her love went on to new adventures. I highly recommend this book to anyone and all. I don't know how to explain how this book can relate to everyone in some weird way, cancer or not.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/ROTE47VNZ9GJV?ASIN=014242417X	Mesmerized by Loss	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Reading about the routines, thoughts, and emotions from a teen knowing she has a terminal disease was both revealing and thought provoking.  The story contains humor and sadness.  The realism of the situation promotes self analysis in the reader wondering if his or her feelings would be similar.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1U0TW8HISRAQE?ASIN=014242417X	Beautifully poignant	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I could easily write a review that applauds the transcendent plot line and hauntingly beautiful characters. But what you really need to know is that this is the best novel that this English teacher has read in a very long time. You need to examine your life if you read this and disagree with me.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R9S0C7HPHRW6B?ASIN=014242417X	Good read.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I enjoyed this book. It is well written and engaging although you read waiting for the sadness to hit you. Yes, it does. I shed tears, but I also, enjoyed the spirit of these two special kids who found each other in the midst of hardship most of us, praise god, never have to face. Worth reading!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RZ8Q72VRJ599G?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in Our Stars Review	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is a piece of literature I could read over and over again. I could relate to a lot of the characters and the overall plot line was heart wrenching and well planned. I would recommend this book to anyone who has ever had to deal with cancer, as well as someone who has ever been in love.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1VB1ZMYWI4X0T?ASIN=014242417X	not bad not good	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">this book is just like where they make you cry...but not me. problem? dialogue. its all wrong. Gus and Hazel dont talk like regular teenagers. parents dont talk like teenagers. another problem. plot. is the plot about fighting cancer? traveling to find an author? then what?<br/>well that is all</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2SZU8FZXO6CXC?ASIN=014242417X	Fraughtful and Thoughtful	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Needed to put this down a few times, but it still took me only a few days to read. Reading about kids with cancer can be difficult, even when they're tough as nails and armored in gallows humor. John Green's tight thematic structure makes the read all the more intense. I will seek him out again.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3HVR2GSBTZ4W8?ASIN=014242417X	Great book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I wanted to read this book after seeing the movie and I am glad I did. I like the story and I enjoyed a different perspective on cancer and dying. My daughters have enjoyed John Green's novels so I decided to see if this is just a teen girl thing-- it's not. This was a wonderfully unique story.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2BANFCRTQK7R6?ASIN=014242417X	You'll want to read again and again!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book broke my heart, but I'd suffer through it again and again for this story.  The writing is excellent and the story draws you in from the very first sentence, where it keeps you completely hooked until the very last word.  Do yourself a favor and read this book.  And then read it again.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2UHUJVJK4H1RN?ASIN=014242417X	Great book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was definitely a five star it was so interesting and kept me wanting to read more and more.It also became very sweet and touching especially when you read Augustus eulogy for Hazel it was close to making me tear up. In conclusion this was a great book and John Green is a great author.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3KL463DDCRW3X?ASIN=014242417X	Journey Home	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">For the young teen about to engage in this book, it give a closer look into what many have and or will experience in life. This book was a quick read for which I am thankful for. My heart sobbed for the young cancer teens in this story. This was my favorite book from the author. Worth reading!!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3KWW0VNSVX7OZ?ASIN=014242417X	No Fault in Green's Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">John Green is spectacularly brilliant! He wrote down a love story that I've been wanting to read for a long time. There are quotes in which I adore completely and characters that provoke me to think more about life in general. It's a love story for the ages and one that will go down in history.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1AIWGZIN79VEZ?ASIN=014242417X	this book was amazing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was so surprising to me. I normally not all that into this romantic stuff but this struck me as different. A good different. The excellent writing and the storyline was brilliant. I could read this book a million times and not get bored. I can't wait for the movie<br/>Russell- age 12</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2LYLCURXCT0GT?ASIN=014242417X	Excellent choice!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">It definitely takes you on a couple  of twists and turns as well as makes you bawl your eyes out but I appreciate the clarity to some very deep issues regarding people who are looking down the tunnel of a bleak future (at least by most people's account). This was a very thought inspiring novel.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2967J0X1JNH5Z?ASIN=014242417X	... think this may be the only time I've ever enjoyed a film more than the book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I think this may be the only time I've ever enjoyed a film more than the book.  The book was really, really good and the film was pretty true to the book but the few details that were either changed or ignored for the film version simplified the story and kept it all about the weepy good stuff.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2M8FYIDEM6SLM?ASIN=014242417X	This book is, of course, a real tear-jerker ...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is, of course, a real tear-jerker -- no question about that! And of course there are times I felt a bit manipulated. But it really gives the reader a very interesting peek into the culture of young people dying from cancer. And in this case, there's a very interesting story behind it.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R8M9C77N5Y2HC?ASIN=014242417X	Five star worthy and more	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">As I was reading this book I love d the cuteness of Augustus and hazel. I cried when Augustus died I laughed as they joked with each other. I literally finished this book in 2 days because hazel was so amazing she wasn't your average cancer patient. I loved this book it is my all time favorite.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3VXWMZ27LUAV?ASIN=014242417X	Done before I began	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Mr. Green's story telling skills are surpassed only by his ability to relate the prose to the reader regardless of age.  I am certain that my 12 year old granddaughter would enjoy the book as much as I did, although most likely on a different level.  She is a much more perceptive reader than I.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1K0XJMTLKMXRC?ASIN=014242417X	Nicely done	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I liked this book because the unexpected happens.  The author tells the story through the eyes of a 16-year-old girl remarkably well.  I spent a great deal of this book preparing myself for Hazel's inevitable demise, and let me just say, though the story has a sad ending, it did not dissapoint.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2NS7JB6MSVUDQ?ASIN=014242417X	Could not put it down----read it in a day!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Funny enough, my 17 year pole son recommended this book to me. I was captivated from the first word. It was funny and sad.

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RT7LVE42ARAS3?ASIN=014242417X	A great story - and not just for teenagers!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I am 68 years old, and found this story touching, funny, sad, just generally some great story telling! And I liked that he didn't make the parents ""bad guys"". They were just normal, loving parents, sometimes doing the right thing, and sometimes the wrong thing. Just like the rest of us!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2FHO6VUPDVRA?ASIN=014242417X	This is great	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">this book is probably the best book that has ever touched my hands or entered my mind...no joke!! my favorite part is ...( if u have not read this yet STOP! here ) when hazel and Isaac play video games<br/> plus when Gus tells hazel he loves her fo real not like a like like but he LOVES HER &lt;3</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1H6MEJGZRG52D?ASIN=014242417X	moving, real, incredible	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I cannot put into words the beauty that this book was written in. The irony and humor cast shadows over the characters impeding doom and it's hard not to get lost n their lives. I will say this, be sure to have tissues at the ready! I can't remember a book that I got so emotionally involved in.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2CUHG5UZ20ASM?ASIN=014242417X	A must read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Inspiring book, thoughtfully written from a different perspective,  that of the cancer patient.  Insightful,  Intelligent and Amazingly Captivating.  As a cancer parent myself, it was eye opening, bringing forth topics that you don't have the courage to discuss or even think about. A must read.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2ZQCWSGZ5B9J2?ASIN=014242417X	excellent	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Even though this book is probably aimed at the ""Twilight"" age group I really loved it as an older woman.  I loved the story and even though the subject matter is heart breaking I could not put it down.  It is also the first time I have cried reading a book.  I would highly recommend it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1040T6K1K88IT?ASIN=014242417X	Wasn't everything I expected it to be	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I enjoyed the book, but once I got to the middle of the book it seems like it just ended. The chapters were super short after halfway and it seemed like the book just wrapped up and answered all your questions. The book was good but I don't think the 2nd half was as thought out as the 1st half.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3RMMYS9BO978W?ASIN=014242417X	Interesting read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I give this book three stars for certain reasons-but mostly because I feel that I could of lived without reading this book. The story is good, the characters are deep (even for being teenagers) but after reading a few of John Green's book, I think it's his style of writing which I dislike most.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2DJNAX0XNFD0?ASIN=014242417X	Touching	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I love this book. It helped me understand the death of my boyfriend's best friend and what he went through. I wasn't there through it, but it can feel his pain. This is also an amazing love story of how people should fall in love. True love does exist when you are young and can last a lifetime.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2RQQ5Y6FVWMD1?ASIN=014242417X	Very Good Read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This was a very good read.

4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3W1Q5QXU1EFJU?ASIN=014242417X	Quite a refreshing view upon existence, the afterlife, and romantic tragedy.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Quite a great read that allows a new grasp upon the metaphysical while still linking you to the characters whom are pondering the thoughts. The ideas of death portrayed in the novel give you a new sense of life in it's most delicate and cherished form; the kind where tomorrow is not guaranteed.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2N9XIMQTQXJVJ?ASIN=014242417X	Excellent!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">There are no words to describe this book and still do it justice.

Such a substantial work.  Wow.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R265O7L076G7OC?ASIN=014242417X	Predictable	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I don't know how to explain this, but this book was just written very strangely. Long sentences &amp; long words which didn't make a lot of sense. Not to mention that it was obvious from the beginning what was going to happen. I have heard people rave about this book, but not me Very disappointing.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1421924ZFHWCD?ASIN=014242417X	This awesome book.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Some infinties are bigger than others.

Yes I believe in God and heaven, but I take the capital-S something/somewhere to heart.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1I67XHL65GIZM?ASIN=014242417X	The fault is mine.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I finally made myself read it.  I thought I should start right away since the movie’s release date is coming up very soon.  But it took me about a feature film’s length to get through it.  People kept on telling me that it’s one of the best things they’ve read and they never cried harder over a story.  Oh-kay.  Break out the tissues!  So… did I?<br/><br/>Late in the winter of my seventeenth year, my mother decided I was depressed, presumably because I rarely left the house, spent quite a lot of time in bed, read the same book over and over, ate infrequently, and devoted quite a bit of my abundant free time to thinking about death.<br/><br/>If you take all those except the part about death, then I’m also depressed, according to Hazel Grace Lancaster’s mom.  Depression is a side effect of dying.  (… Almost everything is, really.)  The book is pretty quotable in a rather defeatist kind of way.  At least, that’s the vibe I got from it.  Like the speaker is sure that she’s going to die – the question is not if, but when.  That’s a different perspective for a book that deals with cancer.  Normally, it’s all about survival, or The Fight, or staying alive.  Most teens in YA literature seem pretty unaffected by the world; Hazel Grace seem to be just waiting to die.<br/><br/>It was well-written, sad, hopeful… but that’s about it. Unfortunately, I’m not as impressed by it as a lot of you guys are. I’m not saying it’s not good. It is good. It’s emotional, thought-provoking, and like I said, sad and hopeful. But did I need the Kleenex? No. I couldn’t even make my tears show up even if I tried hard. And I’ve cried over less stuff, like… fanfiction.  I kept waiting for the Kleenex moment but it never came.<br/><br/>This is my initial reaction to this book.  (Actually, I wrote something similar straight to GoodReads as I marked this book Read.  I’m editing this to include some other stuff that I poured over later.)  I’m seeing the movie will be something like The Spectacular Now, another Shailene Woodley film. A very laid-back, realistic, artsy film, more suited for smaller film festivals than a worldwide distribution.  I saw some movie stills and I have a feeling that I might shed some tears over the movie.  This book didn’t even strike a nerve.<br/><br/>Honestly, I think the more people telling me about TFIOS, the more ~desensitized~ I get? Idek. I’ve been told by a LOT of people about this book – both from hardcore readers and those just buying the hype – and that may have contributed to my indifference. Or I’ve experienced and attended my own share of deaths and funerals for very close family relations; I know that pain and how REALLY painful it can be that I don’t need a book to tell me that.<br/><br/>To be fair, it’s not the cancer talk that’s heavy.  It’s Hazel’s pre-eulogy about the love she shared with Gus that got me feeling anything.  Her talk about infinites and how many infinites she get to spend with Gus, man… that almost had me.  I’m a sucker for a tragic love story.  I’m known to cry over really good angst fanfiction.  (You see, if I can cry easily over fanfic, why can’t I with this when it made so many tears fall already?)<br/><br/>Again, if you liked it, hooray. It was just okay at most for me.  It was a quick read because it was well-written but I’m just too detached.  But since so many of you loved it, I’m struggling over the fact that I didn’t.  Maybe I just wasn’t getting it.  But no… I know how it is to lose someone you truly – TRULY – love and a book just cannot put that into words.  Sorry.<br/><br/>Rating: 3/5. If John Green’s other writing is like this, I’ll pass.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1UES8R941FOVE?ASIN=014242417X	from FictionZeal.com re: The Fault in Our Stars by John Green	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Hazel Grace Lancaster is 16 but doesn’t get out much; doesn’t want to.  Whenever she goes anywhere, she has to drag along her little portable oxygen tank.  Her mother practically pushes her out the door to attend Cancer Kid Support Group which meets at the church located there in Indianapolis, Indiana.  She wants Hazel to associate with other teens.  At one of these group sessions, she meets Augustus (Gus) Waters.  Hazel likes him almost immediately but she knows that her cancer is eventually going to overtake her and is reluctant to hookup.  Gus can be very persuasive but never pushy.<br/><br/>Hazel and Gus discuss her favorite book called An Imperial Affliction.  It is a story of about Anna, a young girl with cancer.  The ending was purposely left open to symbolize all things ended when Anna was either too weak to continue or died.  Hazel desperately wants to find out from the author what happened to other people in the book, like Anna’s mother and the man she was seeing and Anna’s hamster.  Since Hazel had already used her one ‘wish’ through The Genie Foundation, Gus shared his wish with her and they planned a trip together with her mom to Amsterdam where the author lives.  Do they get answers to the questions she’s seeking?<br/><br/>The Fault in Our Stars is told in first person by Hazel.  It is a bestseller in the New York Times which shows the age range of 14 and up.  I understand that John Green indicated his books were aimed for 15 – 18 year olds.  Since the protagonist is 16, I would recommend that as the earliest age to read this novel.  Parents should decide if their children should be allowed to read it as there is mature content; concepts; and slang that some pre-teens may not fully comprehend.  God and the church were mocked and God’s name is used in vain.  There is a make-out scene early in the book of a teen couple just outside of the church.  Sixteen year old Hazel and seventeen year old Gus do engage in sexual activity in his room while they are in Amsterdam.  While not greatly explicit, it is there.  I rated this at 3 out of 5.  The story of their struggle with cancer is captivating and the relationship between family and friends is warm and tender.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R29CL8Y6MO67G0?ASIN=014242417X	Too pedantic	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read this book because a friend mentioned it to me and it is so much mentioned by everybody that I got curious. Taking into account all the buzz this book is getting, I got sorely disappointed.<br/><br/>I know it is YA literature and that I am not the intended reader, but I have read lots of YA books and I have found them very enjoyable. What happened with this book? I found that the only YA element in this story was that the characters are teenagers. Apart from that, that's all. And the teenagers in this book are not even acting like teenagers, what is highly annoying. This book is pedantic, even obscure at times, and rather boring. The only reason I can figure out why YA readers like it so much is because of the love story between Augustus and Hazel.<br/><br/>Even if a love story between two kids with cancer can be inspiring, cute, and whatever, why on earth do they have to talk and behave as if they are seventy years old? Yes, cancer is a serious topic, but they are teenagers. Teenagers with cancer don't go all philosophical about their lives. They don't think about death in such high terms. Going back to their love story, I'm not a fan of insta-love. At all.<br/><br/>The most boring parts of the book were the ones related to that book that Hazel is always talking about because she wants to know how it goes on. That was beyond pedantic and made me zone out at times.<br/><br/>I like stories that surprise me. This one didn't do that. You could see the predictable twist at the end coming from miles away. And when my suspicions were proven true, I didn't cry like a baby as lots of people claim in their reviews. There was nothing to cry about because it was PRE-DIC-TA-BLE. I was relieved that the book was over.<br/><br/>The only redeeming feature of this book is John Greene's impeccable writing style. The development of the characters was good... if they hadn't been teenagers.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1JAZMRMZXU62T?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in Our Stars by John Green	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">At a Glance/The Cover:<br/>Everyone was raving about how good this book was. How good the characters were. What a good writer John Green was. AND it was becoming a movie. So I definitely had to read this book.<br/><br/>The Characters/My Opinion:<br/>Not gonna lie. I love the characters. They seem lively. Although I must say the plot is super random. John Green is the kind of author that can make a character go to (almost) the middle of nowhere and make it fit in with the plotline. Not to mention, make the sweetest kiss scene there. Okay, maybe Anne Frank isn't the middle of nowhere. But it seemed like it. Was it in Germany or Poland?<br/><br/>Hazel Grace - (Okay. I think her last name is Grace. Or maybe it was her middle name. I really don't remember. Cuz I read this like one or two weeks ago, my brain a getting a little hazy. Bloody har har.) How do you describe her? She's a great girl. If she went to my school, I think she'll be the kind of person I'll know about. And I'll probably know her. But I probably won't be that super close friend she has called......whatever her name was. i just can't remember anything. And when she introduced herself in the beginning, I haven't read the blurb yet, I thought ""Oh great. Another cancer book. She's gonna probably die at the end. So depressing."" Boy, was I wrong. It is another cancer book. But another good one. It wasn't super depressing. I'm glad Hazel tried to stay bright and happy. I hate it when people pity themselves. Including me. I don't do it that much. I hope. I think. I'm sure. Really.<br/><br/>Augustus Waters - When the first eye contact was made, I knew it. I knew he was going to be the other counterpart of this story. The lover. The crush. The romance. The relationship. I thought he was a bit queer at first. But then, his personality started creeping in and showing itself more. And I start to like him. As a friend of course. He's the guy I can only describe as a best guy friend. Awesome personality. Just no chemistry there. Of course, I ship Gus and Hazel. Another point for John Green for making him have that preppy, outgoing personality. Love his motorcycle. And how he's a jock is his past life. LOL. It's sorta true. He sounds pretty perfect. As much I want the guy I love to be perfect, I was my friends to be perfect too. So if he went to my school, I'll definitely recruit him to be my best friend. :)<br/><br/>Ian (?) - I really forgot all the names. Was there an Ian in this book? The guy who had eye cancer. The one who kind of made it possible for Gus to meet Hazel? Yeah him. He was sort of an extra of this book, but without him, nothing would probably have happened. I guess Ian is like Hazel best guy friend. Either way, he's been supportive. Or needed support.<br/><br/>Overall Thoughts:<br/>Because of my bad memories, I'm sorry you couldn't learn about the book that much. I don't really like scanning through books to read it again. Because when I reread, I have to reread the entire thing. And considering I don't like to reread books that much, let's just say there probably isn't a chance where I will reread a book just to make my book review better. BECAUSE I AM THAT LAZY. Sorry. Oh wells.<br/><br/>Either way, all I remember is that it is a very enjoyable book. I loved the characters. And that unexpected twist. But expect the unexpected. I didn't do that. But in books, I think it's better to leave the unexpected a surprise. It makes the book better.<br/><br/>Okay. If you don't like cancer books, I understand. Because it just really gets annoying when you read a book and at the end, the main character dies off. Repeatedly. In many cancer books. And you're just like ""Okay. *tears* But why?"" Anyways, give this book a try, because if you're planning to watch the movie, you should still read the book. Unless you're the type to watch the movie first.<br/><br/>Okay. I'm rambling. I've been rambling. And I talked about myself. Okay. Let me promote the book.<br/><br/>IT IS NOT ANOTHER CANCER BOOK. The Fault in Our Stars is definitely more happy. More encouraging. More hope. And hope is given.<br/><br/>The Rating: (1-10): 8.5~</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R16V66MV98VYL3?ASIN=014242417X	Completely Predictable... and that's OK!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">""You have to promise not to fall in love with me."" If you've seen or read A Walk To Remember, then you know what you're in for. ""Fault"" a simple and predictable premise: two teen cancer patients fall in love. One of the two is terminal. That's it. That's the main premise."" Do the math.<br/><br/>I have to wonder about the people that write book sleeve descriptions of novels.  In my last review of ""Wayward Girls"" you already had an idea of what was coming.  Well for this one, the description is a spoiler in itself.  That said, I enjoyed this.<br/><br/>It's a simply written novel.  By simply written, I mean it's a screenplay which will be a movie by the way, starring Shailene Woodley (good casting there) and some other dude from the Divergent movie that plays Caleb Prior, Ansel Elgort(who?).  I'm doing my usual digressing here.  The writing is simple and to the point.  Not that I've read Nicholas Sparks novels (and don't plan on it), but I'm sure it's safe to say this is nothing like that.  That's not to say that this is bad story telling.  There are a lot of great quotes in this here novel.  If I could figure out how to look at everything  I've highlighted in this novel on my Kindle, I'd share some of them.  And by great, I also mean cheesy.<br/><br/>I'm not going to lie.  I got emotional towards the end.  This is no surprise when I get engaged in a novel that I enjoy.  Usually I fist pump or go"" WTF, are you kidding me?"" to myself.  This was more of a sentimental feeling.  There were other parts where I grinned, chuckled, and laughed.  No. I didn't cry but I did find myself getting emotional towards the end. And the end...<br/><br/>When a main character dies (this is no spoiler, I did mention this is about two cancer patients), it should have ended.  However, Mr. Green felt the need to extend it.  I consider it an epilogue.  He considered it adding more chapters and not calling it said epilogue.<br/><br/>If you're a romantic at heart, you can do no wrong with ""Fault."" It's sweet and endearing.  The protagonists aren't too pretentious and mouthy unlike the movie ""Juno;"" I had to turn off that movie because I hate the Ellen Page's character. I don't know what characterizes ""chick lit ( a term which I find offensive but that's another story),"" but if I had to guess, I think I just read one for young adults.  Okay?</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1QJL0C9YTKELY?ASIN=014242417X	A captivating book !	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">THE FAULT IN OUR STARS is a book about young adults being forced to confront their own mortality from a relentless beast - cancer.  Hazel is a sixteen-year old cynical girl suffering from thyroid cancer with metastases to her lungs.  She can hardly make it up a flight of stairs without becoming short of breath.  She spends her life tethered to a portable oxygen tank.  The only reason she is still alive is because of an experimental chemotherapy drug that, so far, seems to be working.<br/><br/>In an effort to keep Hazel's social life as normal as possible, her mother insists on her attending a cancer support group every Wednesday.  The purpose for Hazel's participation is much less about emotional support than about socialization.<br/><br/>In Hazels words:<br/><br/>ME: ""I refuse to attend Support Group.""<br/><br/>MOM: ""One of the symptoms of depression is disinterest in social activities.""<br/><br/>ME: ""Please just let me watch American's Next Top Model.  It's an activity.""<br/><br/>MOM:  ""Television is a passivity.""<br/><br/>ME: ""Ugh, Mom, please.""<br/><br/>MOM:  ""Hazel, you're a teenager.  You're not a little kid anymore.  You need to make friends, get out of the house, and live your life.""<br/><br/>ME:  ""If you want me to be a teenager, don't send me to Support Group.  Buy me a fake ID so I can go to club, drink vodka, and take pot.""<br/><br/>Needless to say, Mom wins, and Hazel goes to group.  This is where she meets Augustus, or Gus - a hotty cured from osteosarcoma.  The only tradeoff is that he now has a prosthetic leg.  A small price to pay for your life.<br/><br/>The two begin to spend more time together.  Hazel introduces Gus to her favorite novel, AN IMPERIAL AFFLICTION, written by Peter Van Houghton.  The book details the story of a girl with cancer.  What haunts and consumes Hazel is that Van Houghton ends his masterpiece midsentence.  Hazel obsesses about finding out what happens to the characters.  Gus joins her in this quest.  He actually succeeds in contacting the author and arranging for he and Hazel meet the mysterious man.<br/><br/>In a twist of fate, Hazel, Gus, and Hazel's mother are granted a trip to Amsterdam where they meet the reclusive, alcoholic, and ill-mannered writer.  The meeting is a bust.  Hazel leaves bitterly disappointed and without her long-awaited answers.  However, the trip is not a complete failure.  The time she spends alone with Gus gives them both treasures that are typically only bestowed upon adults.<br/><br/>The ending, not surprisingly, is sad.  I don't consider that a spoiler.  How could such a book end otherwise?  But for the specifics, you will have to read it yourself.<br/><br/>Just as AN IMPERIAL AFFLICTION was a gift to Hazel, THE FAULT OF OUR STARS was a gift to me, on many levels.  As a physician, it enlightened me as to what life is like for patients outside the walls of a hospital.  The world spins for them, just as it does for the rest of us.  Unfortunately, they have to deal with the same amount of crap we all do.  Life doesn't completely stop just because of cancer, but sometimes that's the beauty of it.  As a mother of a teenage daughter, I laughed at Hazel's adolescent attitudes and pushbacks.  In the next instant, I cried at what her disease had stolen from her.  John Green's research and authenticity was impeccable.  His ability to take such a heart-wrenching topic and balance it with humor, love, and growth proves he is genius.<br/><br/>I purchased a Kindle copy of this book with no incentive or communication with the author or any of his representatives.  My opinions are honest and my own.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2K6ITNJ8CK5P5?ASIN=014242417X	It Will Become a Part Of You	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault In Our Stars is a must-read, and I don’t use that term lightly.<br/><br/>There are some books that simply must be experienced, and this is one of them.  From now on, when anyone asks me for a book recommendation, this book will be at the top of my list.  I say this not because it changed my life—it didn’t.  But, as an avid reader, this book resonated with me so deeply that it will forever be ingrained as a part of my existence.<br/><br/>The story is all too real.  A sixteen year old with terminal cancer meets a contemporary who happens to have been cured of his cancer.  They hit it off immediately, and she introduces him to a book that she loves, and he falls in love with it, too, as well as the girl.  Of course, falling in love with someone who has terminal cancer is a complicated situation at best.  Before long they take it upon themselves to reach out to the author of their favorite book, and the result is not exactly what they expected.  Furthermore, as one would imagine with a book featuring cancer afflicted characters, heartbreak ensues, but not necessarily in the way most readers predict.<br/><br/>Green’s teenagers are precocious, witty, and downright hilarious.  This is a difficult juxtaposition for many readers because these characters, for the most part, do not expect to live normal lives or, in some cases, to live at all.  It feels inappropriate to laugh at things these characters say and do, but I think that’s the point Green is trying to make.  Life is horrible, wonderful, and everything in between, and when we’re not crying, we’re laughing.  The teens pull no punches, they accept their reality, and they force the reader to make peace with their burden as well.<br/><br/>Green has written a book unlike any other I’ve ever read, and I’ve read quite a few.  At one moment he had me rolling, the next he had me nearly in tears.  The Fault In Our Stars never felt completely realistic only because the characters—Hazel, Augustus, Isaac, and both sets of parents—were too charismatic to be real.  They leapt off the page and demanded to become a part of my everyday life.  I struggled with this, because I don’t know anyone quite as charming, funny, or quick on their feet as these characters.  But, that’s also what makes them so utterly lovable.  They are not real, and so they are allowed to say the exact right thing at the exact right time.  They are welcome to charm the heck out of us.  A book like this is meant to be magical in many ways, and tragic in others.  After all, nearly all of the characters are made to suffer, so why shouldn’t they get to go down as some of the most dynamic literary figures to have ever existed upon the page?  Why can’t they be the coolest kids in the room?<br/><br/>I am a married thirty-six year old father of two, an English teacher, an author, and I generally don’t read much young adult literature.  With all that being said, The Fault In Our Stars is now counted among my favorite books and I urge you to read it as soon as possible.<br/><br/>~Scott William Foley, author of Andropia</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2SR6H8CD505DN?ASIN=014242417X	In Two Minds - Please Note: Spoilers May Occur	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Have you read John Green's The Fault in Our Stars? What was your view as if you thought it was a 5 star read and an OMGher book . Then I suggest that my review might not be to your likening and may offend you in parts . Please remember though , that I am being honest and have made this review not to come across negative about the book as that is not my intentions.<br/><br/>So, this is a book that I have had sitting on my Ipad for a while waiting to be read , luckily ebooks don't gather dust otherwise this one would have.  To be honest, I am not too sure why I took so long in reading it , was it because I'm not a huge John Green fan or maybe it was to do that it was a book about Cancer. I'm not too sure exactly what it was that took my time in reading it , but recently in a FB group that I belong to called BA which you have seen referenced in my reviews before. One of the girls there we shall call her S, had been pimping this book hard out and so I thought ok, I've got time to spare, I'm sitting on a bus with nothing to do and a lot of time on my hands so I cracked open my Ipad Bluefire App and started reading it and I did read it until the very last page and to be honest , I felt blah and disappointed at the same time as to me this was an average alright book, nothing great- no sad teary full on crying moments in which I had braced myself for. In fact, it was just another I have Cancer and I might die and I have friends with Cancer and they are sure to pass on as well , but what the hell life is short - so lets set ourselves up for disappointment and date. Another irritating thing was that they chatted about an Author in the book and they get a wish to see him, this perked me up a bit only to find out he's an alcoholic drunk and messed up man who couldn't even take time out of his precious life to be nice to his fans who had come all this way and even on top of that sick just to visit him.<br/>So to me, The Fault in our Stars is a hit or miss read and if you do love John Green and reading about people with Cancer etc then this will be the book for you but if you are like me and have read lots of the same type of book - then I wouldn't personally waste the time<br/><br/>#This was an ARC from Netgalley.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R6JEZDLSDA5QF?ASIN=014242417X	Beautiful. Must Read.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Read this and other reviews at [...].<br/><br/>Okay, so to say a book changed my life is pretty serious business. This book, though, is serious. The Fault in Our Stars by John Green has changed my life. I couldn't decide if it ruined me. Or fixed me. I've decided to go with fixed me. In all honesty, a series changed my life last year - Fifty Shades of Grey - seems strange, maybe, but it's the truth. It opened me up to this whole other world of books, those independently published, prompted me to write reviews, and therefore start this blog, and since then meet so many amazing people and cultivate amazing friendships.<br/><br/>Last spring, I came across The Fault in Our Stars by John Green. I read the synopsis, saw it was getting high praise, and then I chickened out. I couldn't have run faster. Young people. Cancer. No. Way. Generally, I'm a sucker when it comes to subjects like this anyway - I always watch Beaches or Steel Magnolias, but damnit, even though I know what happens, I still can't manage to not lie in the fetal position and snot all over myself.<br/><br/>{{""That's the thing about pain...it demands to be felt.""}}<br/><br/>A couple months went by, and I crossed paths with some other avid readers, like myself, all who were SCREAMING for people to read this book. I always felt there was no way I could broach this. My husband's brother passed away in January 2011 (two years ago today, to be exact). My son was 5 weeks old, and it was a horribly dark time. So bittersweet. We had this awesome baby, and then Tim's (my husband) twin brother was dying. I knew reading this story would open up a lot of feelings I remember having in regards to Jeff's cancer, but more importantly to the way it affected my husband and my in-laws. I said at one point, not long after I had Cohen, that I could not ever imagine burying my child. John Green pointed this out for me not far into TFiOS.<br/><br/>{{There is only one thing in this world shittier than biting it from cancer when you're sixteen, and that's having a kid who bites it from cancer.}}<br/><br/>I fell in love with the characters (all of them), the writing and the story from page one. While I knew it was going to be a sad story, the way that John presented the subject was beautiful. It's amazing how connected to fictional characters you can become, and this was never truer than when reading this story. John was able to lace amazing humor, sarcasm, romance, and HONESTY, so much honesty into this, that it was impossible to put down, even while crying so hard, I couldn't see the screen of my iPad.<br/><br/>{{It seemed like forever ago, like we'd had this brief but still infinite forever. Some infinities are bigger than other infinities.}}<br/><br/>Yes, as I predicted, this story ripped me open, but it did much more than that. It truly put me back together in way that I didn't realize I was broken. It amazes me how much you can love and learn from people that aren't real. John is a genius. He created these characters that grab you IMMEDIATELY and don't let go. Ever. I finished this over a week ago, and have since found myself re-reading certain parts on numerous occasions. I wasn't even going to review it, to be completely honest, because I knew ^^^ this would occur. Just a whole lot of nonsensical rambling, with some memorable quotes interspersed. I know I'm not doing it justice. And no one can. It just must has to be experienced and felt.<br/><br/>{{I want to leave a mark.}}<br/><br/>The day after reading this, I crawled into bed with my son (he's 2) and had a long talk with him. He just stared at me, babbled on about the humidifier, his train table and the stars and moon. I knew, though, this story made me think. It gouged out some stuff in me, and hopefully I can be a better version of myself because of it. I was then watching Private Practice and Sheldon (one of the doctors on the show) said something that reminded me so much of this story, and just life in general. And its importance.<br/><br/>{{The petty things, they don't matter - the things we argue about and wish we could change about another person: none of that matters. What matters is having someone there to hold your hand if you have cancer.}}<br/><br/>Not everyone is so lucky to have that. But many are. I know for my husband, his family found comfort in the fact that Jeff had that. And I know someday I'd have that. It is easy to take for granted, but this book reminded me how important it is to make extra sure NOT to take advantage of this. And of life.<br/><br/>I hope that if you're scared to read this, you'll give it a chance. Yes, it's a sad story. But it's more than that. And it deserves to be read for the reasons other than it's sad. Life is sad, sometimes; in fact, a lot of times, life is sad. And unfair. But reading a story like this, reminded me that even in the saddest of moments, for people in the worst circumstances, there's still happiness, and things can be okay. I'm not sure how I'll change my life, but I know it's already changed. And will keep changing.<br/><br/>SIDE NOTE TANGENT (again): In John's speaking engagement at Carnegie Hall on Tuesday night he said, the true character of a hero is not being able to go from weakness to strength, but rather strength to weakness. I got goosebumps when he said that and I couldn't possibly agree more - especially when it comes to writing an obituary and the wording of so and so ""lost his/her battle with cancer"" -- there is no losing the battle. Fighting it at all is winning, suffering is winning, and being the kind of hero that lives through this is NEVER losing the battle.<br/><br/>Unfortunately Cohen never got to meet Jeff because of all sorts of crappy circumstances at the end. But we know that he's left his mark and Cohen will know just great his Uncle Jeff was. It's nice that today, of all days, I've finally gotten this review up and written and it can serve to be a great remembrance of him.<br/><br/>You don't get to know how long you'll be here for, but never underestimate your mark on the world.<br/><br/>Oh - and in case I didn't make myself clear - read this book.<br/><br/>Okay? Okay.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RY33DF0A99VW3?ASIN=014242417X	Book Whales: I felt that the love presented in the book is perfect and yet you can't help but feel a bit unfair.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">""But I believe in true love, you know? I don't believe that everybody gets to keep their eyes or not get sick or whatever, but everybody should have true love, and it should last at least as long as your life does.""<br/><br/>How to start my review on this particular novel? As some of you may have known, I'm a medical student and a licensed nurse, and despite the fact, I never really pursued my nursing career because I've entered medical school as soon as I got my degree it's still a bit hard to comment on a novel based on a disease, I have been studying and is studying at the moment. That's why I won't really put my review on the technicalities of cancer and it's development and all those geeky stuff but instead I would focus on the story in itself since this is a book review.<br/><br/>To tell you the truth, I've never really read anything made by John Green, until this one. What got me interested in it is because I kept on seeing it on our local bookstore as the number one book to read. And that got me, wanting to actually read this particular novel despite the fact that I'm very busy these past few days with my school works. As I have told you before, I usually read novels during boring lectures and that's what exactly I've done with this one.<br/><br/>And reading only a bit of it, I was instantly hooked. I felt that the love presented in the book is perfect and yet you can't help but feel a bit unfair. It makes you question a lot of things. Embarrassingly enough, I stopped reading until I got home because I was trying to stop myself from crying during class and despite wanting to continue on reading I stopped and went home and at the confines of my room enter the world of Hazel and Gus.<br/><br/>The main protagonist, Hazel Grace, in my opinion, is so well made (not in a sense of being Mary Sue-ish). I said that because she not your typical heroine, who is so pretty and so positive and so strong (although I think she is) and all those superlatives that you can think of. She's just Hazel Grace, a surprising survivor of a stage 4-thyroid cancer, who according to her mother needs to socialize more and be a teenager like she is and not bury herself on reading this one book (that in my opinion became a very important standing ground of the story). For me, she's someone who is trying to be sarcastic in order to make her feel strong, in a way. And I feel like her falling in love was never really in her mind because she have already set her mind that in anytime her medications or therapy might fail and she does not want to leave to many people to be hurt when she's gone. I can't really tell much about her because I felt that no matter what I say I can't perfectly explain who Hazel Grace is and actually that's how I really felt about her.<br/><br/>While, her other half in the story, is Augustus Waters. Augustus is also a cancer survivor, and he is portrayed as a handsome young man with one fake leg for he lost it during his fight with cancer. I totally adore Augustus to tell you the truth. He's also not your perfect guy next door to swoon at but for me he's just perfect. I love the way he would try to find sarcasm in depressing times. And the way he would call Hazel as Hazel Grace made me feel all giggly and happy inside. The way he fell in love with Hazel is so beautifully made despite my aversion to instant love at first sight kind-of-thing. I'm not sure but they just work. His wittiness and carelessness and all the things that made him Gus felt right for me even his faults.<br/><br/>The last thing I'll talk about is the romance side of the story and after that I'll end this review because I really don't want to say more due to the fact that I want you to read this particular book.<br/><br/>So, the romance part and I'll start my review on that part with this one thought; it's like a fairytale with a finished yet unfinished happy ending. Kind of confusing right? But that's what I felt because the way the fell in love with each other is like a fairytale in itself. I'm not being mean or something but it's hard to fall in love when you are thinking to many things and it's especially hard to get in a relationship if you know that you're entering something that maybe one of you may die in an instant. That's actually Hazel's dilemma. She doesn't want to enter a relationship because for her she's like a bomb that is constantly ticking and suddenly she would explode leaving everyone around her hurt. While, Gus believes that they should live in the moment and once you fall in love you can't stop yourself. You can't order yourself to stop. And the author showed this in a real warm and very subtle way, in a way, he presented their love story in a heart fluttering and at the same time a heart wrenching way. And I would like to quote another one from this book because I felt this part explained everything about their relationship;<br/><br/>""There are infinite numbers between 0 and 1. There's .1 and .12 and .112 and an infinite collection of others. Of course, there is a bigger infinite set of numbers between 0 and 2, or between 0 and a million. Some infinities are bigger than other infinities. A writer we used to like taught us that. There are days, many of them, when I resent the size of my unbounded set. I want more numbers than I'm likely to get, and God, I want more numbers for Augustus Waters than he got. But, Gus, my love, I cannot tell you how thankful I am for our little infinity. I wouldn't trade it for the world. You gave me a forever within the numbered days, and I'm grateful.""<br/><br/>Well, this is my review for the Fault in our Stars and hope you would have time to actually read this. Because;<br/><br/>""Sometimes, you read a book and it fills you with this weird evangelical zeal, and you become convinced that the shattered world will never be put back together unless and until all living humans read the book.""<br/><br/>―John Green, The Fault in Our Stars</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2F4PT5WJ188TA?ASIN=014242417X	A heartwarming work of art	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Mr. John Green how did you win my heart yet at the same time shattered it into smaller pieces? Care to explain? Because I'm currently having ""can't-get-over-it"" syndrome. Okay, so much for that melodramatic act. Now let's talk about The fault in our stars and on how it affected me, aside from breaking my heart.<br/><br/>The Fault in our stars was supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! In simplier terms it was extraordinary and unbelievably fantastic. I know I'm a little bit late to discover it's magical presence but it's never too late to read a good book, right? Also, it was a little bit sad to be left behind you guys. I feel like I'm an outcast in the blogosphere for not reading this book. But right now I feel really grand because just recently my mom bought me The Fault in Our Stars! I am happy. Haha :))<br/><br/>The story is narrated by Hazel Grace Lancaster, who is sixteen-year-old and was diagnosed with terminal cancer back when she was 13. Due to clinical depression her mother forced her to join a support group where she meets Augustus Waters, who she will fall in love with.<br/><br/>Hazel is such a strong-willed character. Despite her passivity in life, which was a side effect of her illness, she still manage to be high-spirited at times.<br/>Her sarcasm was an edge of her personality. I like the way she deals with her illness. How I wish An Imperial Infliction was a true novel because I'll definitely be reading it to have a better understanding of Hazel's situation.<br/><br/>Augustus is the charismatic, witty, hilarious and very down to earth guy. He's like the contemporary Romeo. With a few slips of pages, this boy made my heart fall for him. His perception about oblivion, life, nobility or the universe itself was very unexpected from a teenager like him. He even uses metaphors.  With that being sad I somehow concluded that illness, more particularly cancer, makes a cancer patient think just like an adult. The same thing applies to Hazel's situation as well. Hazel thinks differently, cleverly and maturely, which makes both her and Augustus compatible despite their other differences. I will never forget Augustus for all he had done. This boy has the biggest heart I've ever known.<br/><br/>The love interest was close to insta-love though I'm not a fan of ""love-a-first-sight"" books, John Green still managed to pull it off. Their love story was tragic, beautiful, magical and heart lifting. I won't be giving much information because I don't want to spoil the story.<br/><br/>Overall, The Fault in Our Stars was a fun, tragic, heart-warming and an inspirational read. John Green has created an ingenious and life-changing literary work that each of us should read. Every second of reading The Fault in our stars was magical and memorable. Kudos to John Green!!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3231C00SXC8DU?ASIN=014242417X	Heartbreaking and Beautiful.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">It's always so hard to come up with the right words to express your feelings about a certain book you just read that has made you so emotional and has left you a bit in awed. One that has made you fall in love from the very first words and that you knew would break your heart eventually. Like Augustus says in TFiOS ""It would be a privilege to have my heart broken by you"" and it truly was. Even though this book had me so emotional during the last hundred pages, I don't regret reading it at all. I loved it so much, for the beautiful writing, for the characters that felt like close friends that I got to know in just a couple hundred pages and the smart ass and intelligent dialogue, it was beautiful and unforgettable that I just don't have the right words to do it justice in this review.<br/>I just want to wrap myself with the words in this book and just roll around in them, like a quilt. I want to go back and start reading it all over again, because I miss it even if it makes me cry again, I miss Augustus and Hazel. I miss their conversations that made me smile because they were so weird and random but oh so clever that made sense and just made you think.<br/><br/>I've never read a John Green novel before and I know now what I've been missing, I love great intelligent writing and this guy obviously has tons of  talent. From the start I knew I had gotten into something extraordinary, something that had me laughing with it's sarcastic characters, and even though were suffering from a terminal illness made the book a lot lighter and so enjoyable that I forgot for a while that the inevitable was meant to happen at some point in the story. When it did happen though, it felt like a huge blow, like a stone to your chest. I got that punched in the gut feeling and choking on my throat and then the tears just started pouring right out nonstop until the end. I know some people don't like to read books that will make them cry but this one even though it does, it's not all about that. It's about all kinds of love from family and friendships to unforgettable love that changes your life. It's about two characters that found each other and understand each other, something you don't see everyday, something special and real, not senseless infatuation but the real thing and you feel it as you read it and you fall in love with their story as well. And yes even though it's heartbreaking, it's worth it. The journey that we get to experience with Augustus and Hazel is not always sad, it begins as a fun one that will make you laugh at times and get these heartwarming feelings at others, especially during the scenes in Amsterdam.<br/><br/>There's not a thing in this book that I didn't like, nothing that I can complain about. The relationship between Hazel and her great parents, the friendship between Gus and Isaac, I loved it all and even Van Houten for the role he played in Augustus and Hazel's lives. To end this review if you can even call it that would be to put an end to the experience with this novel and move on, but how can you move on after reading something like this? This is a powerful book that will definitely leave its mark on the reader, one that will be hard to follow.. I don't really rate books on here anymore but this one is a solid five star and couldn't be anything less.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R27R76BWJCAFO2?ASIN=014242417X	Wonderful!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">On a scale on 1-10 how bad is the pain? This book it's a 10 (10 x a million to be exact).<br/><br/>*The next rant possibly contains spoilers.. so if you haven't read the book wait to read my review. Also, I am not reviewing this in any set form as I would usually, because I am have so many things to say about this book.*<br/><br/>I will start by saying, this book is amazingly written and beautifully tragic. It left it's mark. I love it and I hate it! The love of my (book) life died last night and my heart is still reeling. Just the thought of TFIOS leaves me in a puddle of tears. Everyone has been up in arms about it, and I have had it on my tbr list. The funny part, I had NO clue what this book was about. I just borrowed with the expectations that it would be good. But when I learned this was a book about cancer, I knew it wouldn't end well.<br/><br/>I fell in love with Augustus Winters.. who wouldn't!?! His character had such a big heart.. he was funny, giving, kind... beautiful! He wasn't down due to the fact that he had one leg, he wasn't down because most of his friends were dead or dying. He was a wish fulfiller and even after he was gone he still managed to giving Hazel Grace her wishes. I loved him for the egg scene and even more for editing his eulogy.<br/><br/>I liked that he was a tenured professor in the Department of Slightly Crooked Smiles with a dual appointment in the Department of Having a Voice That Made My Skin Feel More Like Skin.<br/><br/>Side notes: I am from Indiana, and have visited most of the places mentioned in this book. I had no clue who John Green was, nor the fact that we shared a state. My obviously small minded self, had serious doubts that a Green could deliver a convincing female POV, in which he proved me wrong!! I also work in the research field that seeks to improve (hopefully cure) cancer, and this book is quite possibly the best motivation.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1ZOKS1QJ78VCW?ASIN=014242417X	John Green at His Best!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars has to be John Green at his best, and I do not take it lightly when I say this is now in my top five favorite books of all time.<br/><br/>This story is still so strong in my mind because its characters refuse to leave me. They're part of me now, and I welcome them with open arms.<br/><br/>Hazel has to be one of my favorite characters in YA. She was strong, very intelligent, witty, and brave. While at times she tried to wallow in self-pity, she never let it get the best of her. That partly has to do with her parents. I loved, loved, loved Hazel's parents so much! They were very active and involved in Hazel's life, and always put her wants and needs first; always caring about her well-being. They were fun, loving, and very strong characters. This was one YA novel where I never forgot the main character has parents, and I loved that.<br/><br/>Every character was so wonderfully developed and beautifully crafted--they jumped right off the page and bared their souls to you. Their stories just demanded to be told.<br/>Augustus Waters. The reason so many girls cry over boys in YA novels.  He was perfectly imperfect and I loved so much about him. He is one of the most complex YA characters I have ever read, and he always kept me guessing.<br/><br/>The banter between both Hazel and Augustus was laugh-out-loud funny, sweet, and often very outrageous. One thing I love about John Green's writing and his characters is the fact that he never tries to make teenagers something we're not. Whenever I read a John Green book, I hear my voice; the voice of my friends. He doesn't make every character a lost puppy. He shows how intellectual young adults can be, and he shows real life issues that teens deal with and how we come to understand and learn from our challenges and mistakes.<br/><br/>This is not a light story. This is a story about a girl that has cancer. How she meets an amazing boy and falls in love. How she takes the trip of a lifetime to a different country just to meet her favorite author. It's heartbreaking and honest and true and so amazing. The emotions within this novel will tear your heart from your chest and leave you feeling raw and exposed.<br/><br/>This is a story of loss, of pain, of finding happiness in your darkest moments. This is a coming of age novel, but it is also so much more than that. This is Hazel Grace and Augustus Waters' story. This is the story of their lives, however young they may be. This is their life together and finding out what it means to grow up, move on, and find happiness in even the worst situations.<br/>Please pick this book up. It will not be an easy read, but it is definitely worth it.This book truly changed me as a person, and has set the John Green bar even higher in my book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2YDL2Q5BF05FV?ASIN=014242417X	This Book May Have Changed My Life	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I've been a fan of John Green since I discovered my first Vlogbrothers video a few years ago, and I've enjoyed his various literary efforts. To put it simply, there is a lot of really bad young adult fiction out there, a lot of Mary-Sues and bad plot lines, a lot of stories that really do not need to be told. The Fault In Our Stars is a particularly delicious cupcake in a land of squashed muffins.<br/><br/>I think it is important to note that I was not completely smitten with the book on my first reading. I cried, sure, we all did, and I was left satisfied but not completely blown away. At first glance, the book was simply a good one. I appreciated Augustus' metaphorical resonances and his desire to be a hero, I loved Hazel and An Imperial Affliction, but it was just a book.<br/><br/>This is perhaps a little bit personal, but over the summer I ended up writing a disgustingly long fan fiction inspired by this book. Somehow what was supposed to be 6 chapters turned into 26 and this book became my unofficial bible. I read it, really read it hard, and found beauty in the metaphors I'd missed the first time and the prose that told complicated truths in the simplest of ways. On the surface, The Fault In Ours Stars is merely a novel about two teenagers falling in love, but upon deeper examination it's about how we live our lives. It was about appreciating our big and small infinities, about realizing that even beautiful boys die and fall apart and there's nothing beautiful about that. It taught me that love is the most important thing you can have, that we can't help people caring about us, and that sad endings do not detract from happy middles and beginnings.<br/><br/>It taught me how to care for people, it took my stupid cynical heart and crushed it into nice bite sized pieces. Sure, it was a little bit cliched and sappy, but it was cliched and sappy in the most beautiful manner and for me it worked. Augustus, the dream boy turns out to be incredibly flawed, he's annoying and destructive and Hazel is lonely and dying. It is not a perfect love. It is not a perfect novel. This is not a perfect world.<br/><br/>So sue me, I love this book more than anything. The flaws in its characters and the improbabilities presented in it only make it more endeared to me. I can't even adequately put into words the meaning I have found in TFiOS, intended or not. It is not a likable book, it tells you truths you always suspected but never truly put into words. The Fault In Our Stars is truly one of the best books I have ever read, so I beg of you: Read it. Read it again. Find your own meaning in the infinity between its numbered pages.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3CVZC9C98RNJ2?ASIN=014242417X	The Greatest Love Story Ever!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This review is so hard to write due to the massive tears I have in my eyes. Lord I have no idea where to begin this review. I have so many emotions going through my mind and my heart. First as a mother and second as a person who has close knowledge of what cancer children suffer and how the families suffer. I work for Pediatric Cardiology at a local hospital and I sometimes see the kids who have cancer and are post treatment to see if the treatments have harmed their heart like Augustus.<br/><br/>I have never ever read a book so beautifully written that has caused me to cry through the whole thing. I want to thank my buddy reader Becca for asking me to buddy read this with her. It took me four days to finish the book because I had to keep putting it down because all I did was cry. This morning I woke up and said dammit I am finishing this book. So with my box of tissues in hand I sat at my desk at work and finished reading Augustus's and Hazel Grace's ending.<br/><br/>Hazel and Augustus both have cancer and they are survivors but this story is about so much more than that. It is about first loves. Augustus fell in love with Hazel Grace from the moment he saw her. He knew she was spunky and smart and he wanted to know her and he did. Together they had a whirlwind relationship that was just right for the both of them.<br/><br/>They also shared a mutual friend and cancer survivor Isaac. Isaac lost his sight and Augustus and Hazel were there for him. Even when his girlfriend dumped him and he had a recurrence of cancer Hazel and Augustus stayed right by Isaac's side. They all shared a love for one another and in the end they were the ones to comfort each other.<br/><br/>This story is so amazing that I feel privileged to have read it. At first I was leery because I knew by chapter three I was going to be a crying mess but I am glad I finished it because it is a story about love,loss, and healing.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3V9HKSYUWNMIN?ASIN=014242417X	So perfect	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">originally posted here (english at the bottom): [...]<br/><br/> First of all, you have to know that I don't cry easily. Well, I hardly cry. Almost never. Then books like this come into my hands (meaning: books written by John Green) and you know, you just know that it's better be prepared with tons of tissues because you're going to need them. And you'll need them ALL. John, oh, John, why do you do this to us? Why are you keep giving us books like Looking for Alaska (my copy has been read so many times it's falling into pieces), An abundace of Katherine and The fault in our stars? Don't you know my heart has problems? Do you want to kill me? Probably yes.<br/><br/>I've just finished the book and I have to say that it holds a very important meaning for me, for central issue of the story, and it broke my heart into tiny little pieces. That's why I loved it, because when a book can engage you so much then it's okay to accept to have your heart broken, because, really, you can forgive a book like this if it makes you feel a wide range of emotions. And you can forgive it for being poetically sad (on a side note: I hate poetically sad books. John Green can make me love those, too.).<br/><br/> Hazel and Augustus are two teenagers who faced cancer. Hazel cannot breath normally and knows her life won't be very long. Augustus is fine, but has only one 'real' leg. Hazel feels like a grenade, about to go off and to hurt the people she loves with her death; she loves tv shows and adores an author who wrote a book with an open ending. She'd die to meet him and talk to him and Augustus will make her dream come true. Even if things won't go as Hazel planned, still something extremely good will happen.<br/><br/>What can I say? I do not have words to express my opinion on this book. I won't do it justice and, frankly, I don't want even to try it. I'm not that good. This book was pure emotion for me. It made me hurt and suffer and laugh and cry so much I used my whole box of Kleenex.<br/><br/>Green's characters are always a bit surreal. Sure, almost believable, but extraordinary deep, brilliant, sarcastic, funny and witty. Maybe they do not depict perfectly how teenagers are (I'm not criticizing, it's just a thought), but you can't help and fall in love with them. Hazel and Augustus are fantastic in their strengths and weaknesses, in their dry humor and in the way they face life and illness. Important ideas, witty lines to light up the mood, crazy dialogues and some of the best lines I've read recently made me love the book.<br/><br/>For example, what would you say if you are told these words?<br/>""I'm in love with you, and I'm not in the business of denying myself the simple pleasure of saying true things. I'm in love with you, and I know that love is just a shout into the void, and that oblivion is inevitable, and that we're all doomed and that there will come a day when all our labor has been returned to dust, and I know the sun will swallow the only earth we'll ever have, and I am in love with you.""<br/><br/>I just cried a bit. A tiny bit, because I felt things were about to go wrong. But you know what? I'd have loved to say these words to the person who was like Augustus for me. You should always tell true things, because you never know if you have days or seconds or century to live.<br/>Green's writing is just plain awesome; I read everything he has written and loved each and every single word, for different reasons and in different ways. But the love is always there. Green is a genius. And I hate him because he has such an impact on me (it's called the Green's Kleenex effect, due to the perfect combo of a wonderful writing and awesome plots).<br/>Okay, I stop here, because I am too deeply involved in this and this review is not making sense. But read the book. With Kleenex around.<br/><br/>My favourite quote(s):<br/><br/>I fell in love the way you fall asleep: slowly, then all at once.<br/><br/>There are infinite numbers between 0 and 1. There's .1 and .12 and .112 and an infinite collection of others. Of course, there is a bigger infinite set of numbers between 0 and 2, or between 0 and a million. Some infinities are bigger than other infinities. A writer we used to like taught us that. There are days, many of them, when I resent the size of my unbounded set. I want more numbers than I'm likely to get, and God, I want more numbers for Augustus Waters than he got. But, Gus, my love, I cannot tell you how thankful I am for our little infinity. I wouldn't trade it for the world. You gave me a forever within the numbered days, and I'm grateful.  [To that guy, in loving memory. I am thankful for what we were given]<br/><br/>I believe the universe wants to be noticed. I think the universe is inprobably biased toward the consciousness, that it rewards intelligence in part because the universe enjoys its elegance being observed. And who am I, living in the middle of history, to tell the universe that it-or my observation of it-is temporary.<br/><br/>Some tourists think Amsterdam is a city of sin, but in truth it is a city of freedom. And in freedom, most people find sin.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/ROBNHUEGPGK0S?ASIN=014242417X	A beautiful story of hope + positivity	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The problem I have with writing my review of The Fault in Our Stars is that so much has already been said about this book. I feel like I would just be reiterating everything that I've already read or seen on someone else's blog by doing this post. But I love John Green - he's brilliant and unique and totally awesome - and I do feel like I really want to pay tribute to him through this review.<br/><br/>This is the third John Green book that I've read, and it has replaced An Abundance of Katherines as my favorite. It may be a typical reaction, considering that there are so many people who love this book as much as I do. But I think it's a testament to how amazing this book is.<br/><br/>The Fault in Our Stars reaches all kinds of readers (and even non-readers), handles a delicate subject matter gracefully and with good humor, and is written in the trademark witty rhythm that Green has down pat. In the end, despite all our individual differences, many readers will enjoy this book because it's so moving.<br/><br/>Unlike many who have read the book, I didn't end up in tears - but that doesn't mean that I wasn't deeply, profoundly moved by what I read because I definitely was. Instead, I found that I laughed out loud quite a bit while I was reading, which I definitely wasn't expecting. It's rare that a book will have me beaming and actually laughing out loud, and so, credit must be given to this story for doing just that.<br/><br/>One thing that I completely agree with when it comes to the many reviews I've read - Augustus is such a character and I don't just mean literally. He's just got such an amazing presence, as evidence by the fact that he truly leapt off the pages. I was won over by his kindness, his positivity and just how gosh darn sweet and genuine he came across. And I love the fact that we get to see the grittier, realer, more nervous and insecure side of him at times. There is so much to Gus and I love that he felt so real to me.<br/><br/>The Fault in Our Stars is beautifully written, showcasing a story filled with warmth, authenticity, positivity and lots of hope. I highly recommend it, and truly think that many readers will come away from the novel just as I did - lighter, happier and a whole lot more hopeful about life.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R34N55MK0KB6T0?ASIN=014242417X	"No ""Faults"" here"	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is a brilliant new young adult fiction novel, narrated by a sixteen-year-old cancer patient named Hazel Grace Lancaster.  This novel gives the reader a look through the eyes of someone who is surrounded by the symbolism and metaphoric resonance of death and the day to day, minute to minute struggles of living with lungs that fail to function on their own.  In the novel Hazel is forced to attend a cancer survivor support group where she subsequently meets a young man named Augustus Waters who, once upon a one time, had previously been diagnosed with osteosarcoma and had a leg amputated as a side effect of treatment.  The two of them embark down a path of to discover insights to life, death, love, and friendship.<br/>John Green puts a great deal of effort into the story to make you laugh and cry and it's not uncommon in any of his books to be found doing both simultaneously.  Green has a way of giving you just enough of exactly what you want hear in the story to keep you satisfied without giving you what you want.  He keeps you on the edge of your seat at every moment with even the format the pages and chapter follow.  In Looking for Alaska, each chapter begins with a number of days that are subsequently counting down to some sort of event or story climax.  It continues on like this, 127 days before, 98 days before, 72 days before and so on before too long when you are so built up from wanting to know what was coming since the beginning.  You know something is going to happen but how come the characters in the novel don't?  It's frustrating and exciting at the same time but it locks you in and keeps you reading the story, page by page, day by day.<br/>The Fault in Our Stars is a great addition to the long list of amazing young adult fictions read in the world.  Alongside Green's own novels (Will Grayson Will Grayson, Paper Towns, Looking for Alaska, and An Abundance of Katherines), The Fault in Our Stars has made a place for itself next to other big names in the young adult fiction genre including The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky, which is hands down one of the best young adult fictions of this time, and the more recent Hunger Games.  The Fault in Our Stars has even made a lasting impression strong enough to contend with other more influential novels not of our time such as Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury and The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald.<br/>While I do compare Green's novel to others in a broad comparison or Green's fame alongside other names like Diana Wynne Jones and J.R.R. Tolkien, Green's writing is a contender of its own.  Green's characters are smart, pragmatic, quick witted, and have a great respect for knowledge.  Every novel he has written has some character that is beyond their years by how they are presented before any given situation whether it is solving the disappearance of a neighbor friend, understanding the reasons behind someone else's death, or reflecting on the unjustified correlation stereotyping eggs as being strictly a breakfast food.<br/>Green's novel might be all these things and it may not be all these things to you as a reader, but one thing his novels will never not have is love.  He talks a great deal about love and its many splendors.  How it can surprise you and be somewhere you didn't expect, how love cannot be quantified or solved and that there is always some sort of leap involved.  My favorite quote from the Fault in Our Stars is in fact a quote about love narrated by Hazel Grace ""I fell in love the way you fall asleep: slowly, then all at once.""<br/>The Fault in Our Stars is a wonderful novel and it is my belief that everyone should read it despite preference, ability, and maybe even library availability.  Novels such as this, are of the kinds that shape generations and steamroll prejudice, make changes to our world and build monuments in our lives.  Novels like this bring people closer together and help them feel something that maybe wasn't there before, or was small enough to remain unfelt or unacknowledged despite the feelings presence.  When I read a good book I fall in love with it.  That book becomes the only thing I can talk about for days or weeks or even years depending on its value to me.  The Fault in Our Stars was one of those novels for me and I hope that anyone else who has or has yet to read it feels the same way.  It's just as John Green wrote in An Abundance of Katherines, ""Books are the ultimate Dumpees: put them down and they'll wait for you forever; pay attention to them and they always love you back.""</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3BK98LUG8F2GU?ASIN=014242417X	A Must-Read Masterpiece	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">***I WILL ATTEMPT TO KEEP THIS AS SPOILER FREE AS POSSIBLE***<br/><br/>This is, without a doubt, one of the greatest novels I have ever read. That being for many reasons:<br/><br/>1. The palpable emotions that this book conveys - I guarantee that you will laugh. I guarantee that you will cry. This incredible novel calls upon every human emotion and forces you to live the story. I will not hesitate to admit that I sobbed whilst reading this. I also laughed so hard that I had to take a moment to gather myself. If you don't like public displays of emotion, don't read this book outside the home.<br/><br/>2. The characters are just so realistic - Enough said. There weren't many cliches (of course there were a few, cliches are EVERYWHERE and NO archetypes that I could see. No one was flawless, no one was so imperfect that no one could stand it. Everyone was the beautiful mixture of flaws and perfection. Not only this, their personalities were so realistic that they jumped off the page and sat right next to you as you read about their turmoils (for there are plenty of turmoils). You fall in love with characters, but there are also things about them that you can't stand. You come to despise characters, but their were things about them that you liked. Just like actual people, no?<br/><br/>3. The story itself is VERY realistic - Again, self-explanatory. All these things could happen (in a way, they do happen). There aren't many corny coincidences (the ones that are there are beautifully explained), and everything is just so REAL. It has a realness to it that few other books capture. I can't find anything else to say about it other than, IT'S SO REAL.<br/><br/>4. The narration - John Green does a beautiful job of putting us in Hazel's mind through her narrations. It's so perfect, I'm surprised it hasn't ascended to heaven. There were opinions (amazing), but not too many that we didn't get to form out own opinions (which sometimes happens with first person). Not only were scenes set beautifully and things explained fantastically, but you really got a teenagers voice. We didn't get an adult's pathetic attempt at trying to sound like an angsty teen. No, we got a teenager, a true teenager. It's incredible.<br/><br/>5. Anything else that you could possibly fathom: IT HAS EVERYTHING: philosophy, romance, life, death, love, hate, excitement, disappointment, deepness, shallowness, and everything else. It is so incredible<br/><br/>CITIQUES:<br/>-At time it did get a tad bit philosophical (and by a tad bit, I mean a lot bit). If that's not your thing, push through it.<br/>-References were made to ""An Imperial Affliction"" many times. I do not know if this book actually exists or not. It is explained well enough, but still. Too many referenced for my taste.<br/>-I can't think of anything else, I just wanted more than two bullet points.<br/><br/>All in all, this novel is incredible. It blows his previous work of Looking for Alaska out of the water (which is saying something because I consider Looking for Alaska one of the greatest novels of all time). I HIGHLY recommend it for ANYONE, for it is a must-read masterpiece made for anyone and everyone.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2ADWSPM6HAY3N?ASIN=014242417X	Best Book Ever	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">here comes a time in every readers life when you find THAT book. THAT book that makes you laugh, makes you cry, makes you sob and smile. THAT book that is SO very brilliant it surpasses anything and everything you have ever read. THIS, is THAT book.<br/><br/>I have successfully made it my 24 years (almost 25 soon, eep) by only crying in 3 books up to this point. The first was when I was in middle school. The book was called A Child Called It: One Child's Courage to Survive by Dave Pelzer . That book ripped my heart out and I've never fully recovered. The second and third books that made me cry were Slammed and Point of Retreat by Colleen Hoover. A beautiful story that also ripped my heart out and slowly pieced it back together.<br/><br/>I can now add a fourth.<br/><br/>John Green says it best in this quote about Hazel's (the main character) favorite book, which could so easily be used to describe The Fault in Our Stars:<br/><br/>""Sometimes, you read a book and it fills you with this weird evangelical zeal, and you become convinced that the shattered world will never be put back together unless and until all living humans read the book.""<br/><br/>This man is a mastermind, because although I ended the quote before he finishes that paragraph, that part made me go back to once I was done reading because that was exactly how I felt.<br/><br/>Here is the summary of the book:<br/><br/>""Despite the tumor-shrinking medical miracle that has bought her a few years, Hazel has never been anything but terminal, her final chapter inscribed upon diagnosis. But when a gorgeous plot twist named Augustus Waters suddenly appears at Cancer Kid Support Group, Hazel's story is about to be completely rewritten.<br/><br/>Insightful, bold, irreverent, and raw, The Fault in Our Stars is award-winning-author John Green's most ambitious and heartbreaking work yet, brilliantly exploring the funny, thrilling, and tragic business of being alive and in love.""<br/><br/>Let me just tell you how much this story impacted me. I just copied and paste the summary into this post, and I'm already tearing up. Seriously.<br/><br/>""The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars/But in ourselves""<br/><br/>So when I was told to read this book, I was told I would cry (no one told me I would be sobbing, I mean, ""I have the hiccups, can't catch my breath, haven't cried this hard since a grandparent passed away, since I dumped the last jerk"" SOBBING). So when the book starts out, and I'm laughing, I have to text my best friend Nicole, and ask ""Why am I laughing?""<br/><br/>The book starts off with Hazel at a support group for people with cancer, or who is in remission from cancer. And in this support group, she meets Augustus.<br/><br/>""Look, let me just say it; He was hot. A nonhot boy stares at you relentlessly and it is, at best, awkward and, at worst, a form of assault. But a hot boy... well.""<br/><br/>Yeah. He is hot.<br/><br/>So they start forming a bond, a bond of friendship, that later transfers into love. You meet Issac who is Augustus' friend, who also has cancer, and who loses an eye. You follow Augustus and Hazel in their journey to meet Hazel's favorite book's author and site see Amsterdam.<br/><br/>""The beautiful couple is beautiful""<br/><br/>WAIT! Did I just end a review with one paragraph about the ACTUAL book and a couple of quotes from it? YES I DID. Why didn't I keep reviewing it?<br/><br/>BECAUSE I CAN'T WITHOUT GIVING AWAY THE BOOK!!!!<br/><br/>Yeah. I know. I stink.<br/><br/>So go! Go buy it, go read it.<br/><br/>I'm not going to tell you to bring tissues when you start it like people told me though.<br/><br/>I'm going to tell you to keep a mop handy, maybe even a bucket for all the tears you'll be shedding. I'll also tell you to NOT read this book at work. I hit all the funny parts at work, but I am so glad I didn't hit the sad ones while I was there. I think my co-workers (who are mainly men towards the end of my day) would have been FREAKED OUT by a hysterical woman. That would have been me, the blubbering woman crying about a book.<br/><br/>FAVORITE HIGHS WHILE READING:<br/><br/>""I told Augustus the broad outline of my miracle: diagnosed with Stage IV thyroid cancer when I was thirteen. (I didn't tell him that the diagnosis came three months after I got my first period. Like: Congratulations! You're a woman. Now die.)<br/><br/>""Okay"" he said after forever. ""Maybe okay will be our always""<br/><br/>""My thoughts are stars I can't fathom into constellations""</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1U1R9LSWBXD1B?ASIN=014242417X	Not just a teen book!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I have to begin this review by admitting that I do not read ""young adult"" books very often.  As a matter of fact, I avoid them.  I watch 14 year olds and their drama every single day, I do not want to come home and read about more teenage angst.  But one evening, when I was desperately searching for a new book for my Kindle (yes, I panic when I don't have a next book lined up), The Fault in Our Starsby John Green popped up.  I seriously hesitated, but it had such good reviews, I decided to wave my doubts.<br/><br/>Oh.  My.  Gosh.  I loved this book from the very first page.  I don't know what makes it ""Young Adult"" other than the fact that it is about teenagers.  The writing is outstanding.  The storyline sad, but presented with humor.<br/><br/>The main character is Hazel.  Hazel is 16 and has terminal cancer.  While at a cancer support group, she meets Agustus Waters.  They fall in love.  Simple enough plot line, but made oh-so-incredible by the beauty of the writing.  I had to keep myself from highlighting practically every section.  The writing is stark, beautiful, humorous, sad.<br/><br/>About the support group:<br/><br/>""This Support Group featured a rotating cast of characters in various states of tumor-driven unwellness.  Why did the cast rotate?  A side effect of dying.""<br/><br/>""So here's how it went:  The six or seven or ten of us walked/wheeled in, grazed at a decrepit selection of cookies and lemonade, sat down in the Circle of Trust, and listened to Patrick recount for the thousandth time his depressingly miserable life story --- how he had cancer in his balls and they thought he was going to die but he didn't die and how here he is, a full-grown adult in a church basement in the 137th nicest city in America, divorced, addicted to video games, mostly friendless, eking out a meager living by exploiting his cancertastic past, slowly working his way toward a master's degree that will not improve his career prospects, waiting, as we all do, for the sword of Damocles to give him the relief that he escaped lo those many years ago when cancer took both of his nuts but spared what only the most generous soul would call his life.""<br/><br/>When they meet an author of book that Hazel loves:<br/><br/>""Given the entertainment bacchanalia at the disposal of young me and women of your generation, I am grateful to anyone anywhere who sets aside the hours necessary to read my little book.""<br/><br/>You can see, that in no way is the writing ""dumbed down"" for teenagers, on the contrary, these teenagers have a vocabulary I envy.  They are the teenagers we want to know:  bright, witty, charming, honest.<br/><br/>Wonderful.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R31Q96PNMZUKRS?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing read.  Spoiler-free Review	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Heartwrenching, beautiful, genuine, moving, sarcastic, witty, meaningful.  All these words come to mind when I think about The Fault in Our Stars.  However, they seem so inadequate.  I knew going into this book what to expect.  You don't read a book about teenagers with cancer expecting happily ever afters and picture perfect memories.  In that way, I anticipated a strong emotional reaction and the need for my trusty box of tissues; however, I wasn't prepared for the depth of my response and the realism Mr. Green portrayed.  I was transfixed by this novel.  In fact, I listened to it in one sitting, totally unable to stop listening.<br/><br/>The plot is straightforward and simple.  There aren't a lot of twists and turns.  Not much in the way of mystery or surprises.  It's real.  In my life I've watched two dearly loved individuals die from cancer.  Both young.  One slowly, excruciatingly so.  And one incredibly quickly (3 weeks from the day of diagnosis).  It's an ugly process, literally and emotionally.  Your body is not your body anymore.  You are not even you anymore in many ways.  The Fault in Our Stars deals with this both respectfully and realistically.<br/><br/>One of the most amazing parts of this novel were Mr. Green's characters.  Teenagers with cancer are going to have a certain amount of maturity combined with a bit of awkwardness compared to their healthy peers.  They have an ""elephant in the room"" with them at all times leading to a feeling of ""otherness.""  They also are forced to consider the likelihood of an early death while their peers have more of an invinsibility complex.  This leads to characters who are grappling with life or death issues in a time of life that is awkward and frustrating enough on it's own.  Green does an amazing job introducing us to very real, exquisite characters who are placed in these circumstances.<br/><br/>Hazel, the main character, has cancer and knows it will most likely kill her one day.  For now though, the cancer has been held at bay by medications.  Hazel is alive but she's not really living.  She's a realist, rather sarcastic, and rather depressed.<br/><br/>Augustus/Gus is a vibrant, handsome, incredibly sacrificial individual who had cancer which took one of his legs.  He's in remission and lives life to the fullest.  He's a romantic and a philosopher.  When he sees what he wants, he goes for it.<br/><br/>Hazel and Augustus are characters you can feel and see and hear.  There were moments I had to remind myself they aren't real people.  I adored their banter and their frankness.  They weren't romanticized or perfect.  Hazel and Gus have a realistic relationship.  They are opposite personalities in many ways, so they disagree and sometimes get very frustrated with one another.  Their reasons for living and being and doing are very different; yet, they are two teenagers who fall in love, and through their quasi-mature yet awkward personalities, they make it work and find something beautiful.  Augustus and Hazel are exactly what each other need in order to live fully in their story and become better people.<br/><br/>To sum things up, The Fault in our Stars is gritty and compelling, sarcastic and delightful, heartwrenching and romantic.  It is not for the faint-hearted.  You will cry ridiculous amounts of tears.  John Green's novel is captivatingly beautiful; full of love, life and loss; and delivered with a hefty dose of reality.  Highly recommended.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RYA0KMNC7EJN4?ASIN=014242417X	Incredible!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The story follows a sixteen year old girl called Hazel who is a cancer patient as she tries to get on with her life even though it's gone way past normal. She's constantly hooked up to an oxygen tank which has to go everywhere with her otherwise she can't breathe. One day she attends a Support Group and meets this handsome cancer survivor, Augustus. We join them as they learn to love and live life to the absolute fullest.<br/><br/>I actually feel like John Green ripped my heart out of my chest and stomped on it. When I first opened the book, I never expected that the story would hit me so hard, but it really did. This is a new type of story to me. I never usually read books about real life, I'm more into the Fantasy world but this is one book I can see myself reading over and over again without ever getting bored.<br/><br/>John Green definitely has a way with words. I was drawn in nearly from the very beginning, hanging on every word he wrote. His writing alone just made the plot beautiful. If it was any other Author, the book wouldn't be half as good. I can't really explain it, but if you read this book, you would know immediately what I'm talking about.<br/><br/>I found myself being extremely attached to these characters Green has created. Hazel was such an inspirational character. Being diagnosed with Cancer at the age of fourteen would have been torture, I can't even begin to imagine. But she pulled through as best as she could and done everything in her power and willed herself to stay strong, not just for her, but for her family too. There were many times in the book where she pushed herself just so she would be able to accomplish something, like in the museum with the stairs. She willed herself to keep going even though she could hardly breathe because she needed to do it for herself. I felt my heart break for her many a times, especially at one part in particular which I'm not going to say because it will completely ruin the book for you. I definitely won't be forgetting about Hazel Grace Lancaster any time soon.<br/><br/>My favourite character in the entire book was Augustus Waters. His story was beautiful and heart breaking all at the same time. Honestly, I cried reading about him. I'm not even going to go on about him because I'll probably just rant and cry again and write an essay about how much I love him, but he is most certainly one of my all time favourite fictional characters.<br/><br/>Overall, it was a heartwarming story with the ability to make you think about how important life truly is. The book has become one of my new favourites and I will definitely read it over and over again. I know there's a huge hype around it right now but it really deserves to be well known. and I think everyone needs to read this incredible book.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">""Sometimes, you read a book and it fills you with this weird evangelical zeal, and you become convinced that the shattered world will never be put back together unless and until all living humans read the book."" - Hazel Grace Lancaster<br/><br/>I hate to start my review with the same quote everyone else starts their review with, but there is a reason they do. This quote is exactly how I feel about The Fault In Our Stars. I have a book hangover, the worst one I have ever had after reading a book. This book has changed me and the way I look at life. How often do you read a book and feel that way? It has only happened to me 3, now 4, times. This book is now my favorite book of all time.<br/><br/>16 year old Hazel Lancaster is living on borrowed time.  She has lived with her terminal cancer for 3 years and thanks to a medical miracle, she has been bought more time. Now, if you think about it, we are all living on borrowed time. All of our days are numbered, but Hazel is being moved to the front of the line. It is not a matter of if she will die, but when. Her when will be a lot sooner than most of us. Since she was taken out of school when she was diagnosed, she has since gotten her GED and attends community college. She considers herself a grenade. Therefore, she has removed herself from the world to lesson the impact people will feel once she is gone. She only interacts with her parents, reads endlessly, and watches reality TV. She has been forced to attend a cancer kids support group since she is suffering from depression. At this support group, Hazel meets 17 year old Augustus Waters, an amputee and cancer survivor, and her numbered days are forever changed.<br/><br/>Augustus sees something in Hazel Grace (as he calls her) that draws him to her. He describes Hazel perfectly. He says: ""You are so busy being you that you have no idea how utterly unprecedented you are."" Hazel is definitely one of a kind. Augustus can't help but fall in love with her, even though Hazel tries to prevent it from happening. She is a grenade after all.<br/><br/>Augustus is an incredibly mature, intelligent, and not to mention good looking young man. Having survived cancer, he is not delusional, and knows that it could come back. He, like a lot of people who have a brush with death, is obsessed with leaving a mark on the world. He wants his life to have meaning; he wants to be someones hero.<br/><br/>Hazel is obsessed with this book called An Imperial Affliction. It is about a teenage girl named Anna who has cancer and the book just ends, when Anna presumably dies, and you never find out what happens to the rest of the characters. Hazel shares this book with Augustus and he too is deeply affected by it. Hazel desperately wants to find out the ending of this book, because she, like Anna, will leave this world, and Hazel wants to know that Anna's Mother, friends and even pet hamster went on to be okay without her. If the characters in this book are okay, maybe Hazel's loved ones will be okay after she is gone as well. With the help of Augustus, she finds the author of the book, and it leads them on a journey of love and discovery together.<br/><br/>This is a book about living a forever within our numbered days. It is about realizing that most of us will never leave a mark on the universe, but we will leave our marks on those we love. Our lives have meaning as long as we open up ourselves to love. Augustus helped Hazel open up to love, and Hazel helped Augustus realize that his life had meaning because he loved and was loved in return.<br/><br/>I cannot say enough wonderful things about this book. You will laugh, cry, and be forever changed by this book. I know I am. Thank you John Greene!</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The book is written in the perspective of Hazel Grace, a 16 and a half year old girl with thyroid cancer that metastasized to her lungs. She is on medication keeping tumor growth at bay but she carries around an oxygen tank because her lungs 'suck at being lungs'. Ever since her initial diagnosis at 13 and the plateau in her condition after starting this medication Hazel has been living on borrowed time. She got her GED when it appeared that she would never be able to go back to school but started up some community college classes once she was more stable. In order to get Hazel to 'have a life' her parents insisted on Hazel attending a weekly cancer support group, where she meets Isaac and Augustus. Isaac is days away from having his second eye and his last thread of sight removed because of eye cancer and Augustus had his right leg removed above the knee 2 years ago because of bone cancer. Hazel and Augustus have an 'Edward and Bella' stare-down when they first lay eyes on each other, but as they talk and explore each others lives they have a believable relationship. They have a connection based on mutual admiration and not lust. Neither is delusional about the others circumstances, and both make valid observations and mistakes and jokes and reassurances. They awakened something in each other, it was a boy-meets-girl that was more than just a meeting. They were both human, and I loved them.<br/><br/>I thought this would be the story of how Hazel died. That is what I was afraid of, because I liked Hazel. She wasn't bitter, or entitled or stuck in perpetual 'What does it all mean?' that most adolescent protagonists are prone to. Hazel made decisions based on how her actions would affect others, she read poetry and marveled at the beauty of nature, she lived with constant pain and struggled with the question does pain have meaning. She could quote TS Elliot and Shakespeare and video games with flawless ease. In the end, this was not the story of how Hazel died, but how Hazel lived. 'The Fault in Our Stars' is a story about embracing whatever you get of life in the midst of an impossible situation; it is a triumph of humanity in the face of the void.<br/><br/>________<br/><br/>And Yes I did cry.<br/><br/>For the full review and more on authors like John Green, Stephanie Perkins, Jay Asher, JK Rowling, and also Doctor Who and Sherlock please visit my book blog at crazykenna2@blogspot.com</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1SBZHMFX8OFH6?ASIN=014242417X	Loved, loved, loved this book!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Curse you, John Green, for writing a book that hooked me so hard I stayed up until nearly 2:00 this morning finishing it. Curse you for writing a book so emotionally gripping that I was sobbing on my couch in the middle of the night. And curse you for writing a book that I cannot get out of my head, one that I am so sad to have finished. By curse you, of course I mean ""thank you.""<br/><br/>When teenagers Hazel Grace Lancaster and Augustus ""Gus"" Waters meet in a support group for kids with cancer, they are drawn to each other immediately. Gus is in remission from the osteosarcoma that took one of his legs a few years ago, and thanks to a miracle drug trial, the tumors in Hazel's lungs aren't continuing to grow, although she knows that's just a matter of time. The two are snarky, sarcastic, sensitive, and wise beyond their years, and begin an intense friendship that brings them both joy. Hazel introduces Gus to her favorite book, called An Imperial Affliction (she calls it her best friend next to her parents); their mutual love for the book and desire to know what happened to the characters after its abrupt ending sends them on a memorable journey to track down the reclusive author. Green's depiction of both Hazel and Gus, and their interactions with friends and family, felt totally genuine and moving.<br/><br/>John Green is the co-author of one of my favorite books from 2010, Will Grayson, Will Grayson, and this new book is easily one of the best I've read in quite some time, both for the quality of Green's writing as well as the emotions it evoked in me. Clearly, a book about teenagers who meet in a cancer support group is headed in a direction you don't want it to, but even the journey Green takes you on is worth the sadness. I loved this book tremendously and honestly cannot say enough good things about it. It's not for everyone, but if you know what you're getting yourself into, I think you'll agree how much you'll love taking Hazel and Gus into your hearts.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R28WXN210G0K28?ASIN=014242417X	Emotional Page-Turner	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I've had this on my to-read list for so long that I totally forgot what the book was about when I started reading it.<br/><br/>That said, I was delightfully surprised and immensely glad to read this book.<br/><br/>I should note that I typically read 5-6 books at any given time, based on what I feel like reading at the moment, and my interested spans several genres. I'm a thirtysomething mother of 3 and what I am in the mood to read varies. I also only read in 10-minute spurts... while I'm having breakfast, going to bed, sitting in the car waiting for my kids... so these two things combine to make me finish a book in unpredictable time.<br/><br/>So it was totally unlike me to avoid the real world as much as I possibly could so that I could continue reading this book. I put everything on hold and made every excuse I could to postpone my daily life so that I could consume this book.<br/><br/>I would not put money that I would want to read a book from the POV of a teenage, terminally-ill cancer patient who falls in love with another cancer patient. But this book is addictive. The characters are endearing. The description of the weary parents gives the book depth. The literary references in the book are delightful. The every nuanced detail of life carting around an oxygen tank should be depressing, but it isn't. The sorrow of this group of characters should be anything but alluring, but somehow Green does such a good job of making these kids have believable optimism that you feel joy when they feel joy, even when ordinarily in your own life such things would not be joyful.<br/><br/>This is an emotional read and I weeped my fair share. I also did that totally cheesy thing when the book was over and I turned the last page, when I closed the book and clutched it to my chest and closed my eyes. I loved it that much.<br/><br/>If you are debating whether to read this book, I urge you to give it a try. I am so glad that I did.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2H6FMVPMM4RJ6?ASIN=014242417X	Don't let others tempt you	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I'm not here to tell you about how wonderful this book is or that you must read it now. You've seen the rating, probably read some of the reviews, so if you're still interested just read this book like a normal book. Don't be expecting a masterpiece or something, and if you don't read books often, it's probably not going ""change your life"" as others lead you to believe.<br/><br/>The book was hard to get into at first. The dialogue does have some ""big words"" and the story didn't seem to go anywhere. The prose is filled with sarcasm and frankness, which I eventually got used to and and began seeing them as quite hilarious. It's definitely a page turner after you got ""into"" the book. Hazel and Gus don't talk like normal teenagers, but they are not normal. What draws me into the book is precisely that - how semi-unusual their interactions were. Normal teenagers don't really exchange books to read or speak in metaphors all the time, but that's what so interesting. It's really a breath of fresh air from the usual romance that develops in other books.<br/><br/>Even though Alaska remains my favorite John Green character, the book as a whole is his best yet. For someone who's quite normal, I was very curious in Hazel's life, because it seems a lot different than mine. And the same goes for most of the characters - they feel realistic but not what you would typically expect. The book does play with my emotions, capable giving me highs and lows within the same page. For what one would consider a serious book, there are lots of playful outbursts, such as:<br/><br/>""Lonely, Vaguely Pedophilic Swing Set Seeks the Butts of Children.""<br/><br/>And sometimes there are lines that are so good at making sense:<br/><br/>""What a slut time is. She screws everybody.""<br/><br/>That's what I like most about this book. John Green is a smart writer who is very capable of letting you experience his characters' thoughts and feelings. The Fault in Our Stars was an exhausting adventure, but I felt like I learned something new, and it was worth it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2073R8VZKF64Z?ASIN=014242417X	Phenomenal	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I purchased The Fault in Our Stars simply because I wanted to read something for pleasure after a long school term. I  began not expecting much, but after reading the first 50 pages, I was enthralled. I loved John Green's witty prose and his flawed, but extremely lovable characters. Less than 24 hours after beginning TFIOS, I had finished, and was left sobbing at the thought of the book. I think the most fantastic element of this book was that, yes, the premise of the book is sad and, yes, it has a sad ending, but it avoids being sentimental or contrived in any way.<br/><br/>The existential questions in TFIOS were so well presented, and truly made me think about the 'capital-B big' questions, such as the necessity of mattering in this world, no matter how long we will be around.<br/><br/>The Fault in Our Stars is more than just than the type of book that will make you both laugh and cry, it is a book that will make you laugh and cry simultaneously, so much so that it seems to defy categorisation in any genre.<br/><br/>Ultimately, I cannot recommend The Fault in Our Stars more, it has gone down in my list of favourite books, where I think it will remain for a very long time.<br/><br/>P.S. When deciding whether to buy this book, I noticed a lot of reviews claiming that many of the favourable reviews on Amazon were due to a bias that some reviewers had due to being 'nerdfighters.' I can truthfully claim that my review was free from any such bias as when I purchased The Fault in Our Stars I had never heard of John Green or 'nerdfighteria.' However, a month after reading it I am now count myself massive fan of John Green and his vlogbrothers You Tube channel, and have gone on to read his three other independently written books; Looking for Alaska, An Abundance of Katherines and Paper Towns, all of which are [almost] as good as TFIOS.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R36957WJIEP1SV?ASIN=014242417X	This book wreaked havoc with my emotions, and I loved it.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">First of all, this book wrecked me. Wrecked. Me. I was a sniffling, sobbing mess starting about 2/3 of the way through the book. My husband came in and was like, ""Hey, got something in your eye?"" (Because he is a heckler and has a heart like a STONE), and I choked out between ugly-cries, ""It's about KIDS with CANCER! LEAVE ME ALONE!"" And he skedaddled out of there.<br/><br/>So if you want a book to make you cry, I'd suggest this one.<br/><br/>But this book is not all tears and angst. It's actually full of humor and sweetness. Considering it's a book about KIDS with CANCER, I was not expecting to laugh so much. But laugh I did.<br/><br/>The highlight of the book for me was the characters of Hazel and Gus. It's funny, because I was reading along and thinking ""Wow, Hazel and Gus remind me of some of my friends from high school. Especially Gus, who is pretty much EXACTLY like this guy I knew, except for the cancer thing."" And then I went online and read some reviews, and the first ones I read were complaining that Hazel and Gus were unrealistic, and no teens act or talk like them. Just goes to show that how we perceive things is heavily dependent on our own life experiences.<br/><br/>So just for the record, yes, some teens act and talk like Hazel and Gus. Some teens have large vocabularies and use SAT words in everyday conversation. If you take out all the cancer references, I swear I had some of the Hazel-Gus conversations when I was in high school.<br/><br/>Yes, I was a nerd. But that's neither here nor there.<br/><br/>On top of the great characterizations and dialogue, the storytelling was excellent. I was riveted by the first page, and couldn't find a good place to put the book down, so I wound up reading the whole thing in a day. Which is no small feat when you have to also be parenting and cleaning and cooking and all those other things responsible adults do.  But it was just one of those books that you have to keep reading, even when you realize it's going to rip out your heart and stomp on your soul.<br/><br/>I loved the friendships in the book; I loved the sweet and sad way that Gus and Hazel's relationship developed;I loved the glimpses into their friend Isaac, Hazel's and Gus' parents, and the members of their support group. I loved how real and raw and honest Hazel and Gus were about what they were going through. Basically, I loved everything about this book, except for the way it utterly ruined me. And I even kind of loved that.<br/><br/>Some people say this book has a twist. I didn't really think of it as a twist -- nothing in the book surprised me -- and I think if you go into it expecting it to shock and amaze you, you may come out disappointed.<br/><br/>However, if you read this book for the great characters, fantastic dialogue, and gut-wrenching levels of emotion, you will be satisfied. At least I hope you will be. I was.<br/><br/>Even though it wrecked me.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3N3IPIZSZFNLZ?ASIN=014242417X	No Fault in These Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Hazel is a teenager diagnosed with terminal cancer. She goes to a cancer support group where she meets a boy named Augustus Waters who will change her forever. Throughout the book, the two grow with each other and find a love both profound and exquisite, even in the shadow of death.<br/><br/>You know those stories that leave you numb? The ones that you finish, and then set aside and stare at blank space for a while so that you can process what you had just finished reading? Yeah, this was that kind of book. And the thing was, I was completely blindsided by how great this book was. Okay, so The Fault in Our Stars is a cancer book. Apparently this is a niche genre, because after I finished this book, I read some other reviews that mentioned other ""cancer books"" like this one. I would assume that a cancer book had a prerequisite amount of melancholy and suffering, and I typically shy away from those kinds of books. Maybe that's why I found Stars so enchanting, as opposed to some people who disliked it. I'm not familiar with cancer books, so this was new territory for me.<br/><br/>Something about Hazel's wry, snappy narration is charming and completely engrossing, and kept me reading long into the night. Hazel does not dwell on her illness. It's a constant, and it's been a part of her life since she was a child, but her sense of humor shines through, and makes the subject of terminal cancer an easier pill to swallow for the reader. I truly did like Hazel as a character. She's self-deprecating and mature for her age, which instantly made me identify with her. I particularly appreciated her relationship with her parents, and how she seems to take on the adult role when it comes to her illness. Green's prose sparkles with life, and he wrote the voice of Hazel so well that I was initially surprised that the book was written by a man, and not a woman.<br/><br/>Hazel and her love interest, Augustus, had a unique and interesting relationship, even if I found them a bit contrived. This was the only part in the book that I took issue with. I found that Hazel and Augustus were unusually well-spoken for kids their age. Then again, I was the same at that age, so who am I to play skeptical reader? However, I think that they acted unrealistically old and adult, when they're supposed to be seventeen. That took me out of the story a bit, because even though they looked and seemed like teens, Hazel and Augustus had the dynamic of two adults. I think that Mr. Green needs to learn how to truly emulate the voice of a young person, rather than using them as a mouthpiece for his own thoughts.<br/><br/>I found the love story a bit forced. A teen cancer patient (who strongly resembles Natalie Portman à la V for Vendetta, as is repeatedly mentioned throughout the book, as if the reader will forget how attractive Hazel is even when she's sick and fighting cancer) happens to run into an equally, if not more so, gorgeous boy who is in remission and is decidedly articulate for a teenage boy... it all felt a little too neatly set up to be truly believable. However, as their relationship evolved and I got to see a more three-dimensional Augustus, I really started to like the two of them together and ultimately fell in love with their love.<br/><br/>I found myself completely enchanted by the plot, in which Hazel, with the help of Augustus, seeks to speak to the author of a book that changed her life. By book's end, I found myself really caring about the characters, and despite knowing what I signed myself up for, the ending of the book was an emotional sucker punch to the gut. I knew with this kind of book that something was going to happen, but that didn't make it any easier to handle. The Fault in Our Stars left me emotionally drained, but uplifted. I can see why Green has such a cult following online... his writing is full of heart and soul.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3VUM012IA8Y1F?ASIN=014242417X	A lovely story of love and friendship	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">On the surface, The Fault in Our Stars sounds like a story about kids with cancer, and some might find this too depressing to read. To look at it this way and walk away would be missing out on a wonderful story that's more than just about kids with cancer, but about love, hope, surviving, and so much more.<br/><br/>Hazel is a 16 year old girl who has been diagnosed with thyroid cancer since she was 13. She attends a support group for children with cancer and there she meets Augustus. Gus, enamored with Hazel since he laid eyes on her, tries to befriend her. Hazel, trying to make her mom happy, decides to hang out with Gus, and that was the beginning of it all. One of the things they find common ground in is reading, and Hazel shares her favourite book An Imperial Affliction, by Peter van Houten, with Gus, as well as her desire to meet Peter van Houten. Gus shares his wish with Hazel and the two of them head to Amsterdam to meet with van Houten.<br/><br/>John Green basically wrote my review for me when Hazel says (when talking about An Imperial Affliction)<br/>""Sometimes you read a book and it fills you with this weird evangelical zeal, and you become convinced that the shattered world will never be put back together unless and until all living humans read the book"".<br/><br/>I couldn't express more eloquently the love I have for The Fault in Our Stars. I think this is John Green's best book to date. His characters are alive and intelligent, they are well developed and realistic. His descriptions of places - especially Amsterdam - transported me. But, most of all, his story moved me.<br/><br/>It's well paced story and there were times when I found myself laughing out loud and times when the tears didn't stop falling. Then there were times when I had to put the book down to look-up airline costs to Amsterdam in the spring. The Fault in Our Stars will pull you many ways and when the final page is turned and the book is closed, the story will stay with you for a while longer. I think this is what a good book does to you and The Fault in Our Stars is such a book.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R16NBGLVH3SB2?ASIN=014242417X	Fantastic!  Do not pass on this book!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Hazel Grace has never been anything but terminal.  At 16, her cancer has taken away her ability to breath for long on her own with oxygen, so much to her delight, she travels with oxygen wherever she goes.  Her life is a daily repeat of her parents watching and waiting, afraid to look away from her for fear it will be the last time.... this is no way for a teenager to live, or for a teenager to die...<br/><br/>During one of her Cancer Support Group Sessions, there is a new guy.  The easy on the eyes Augustus Walters shows up with a twinkle in his eye, and a limp in his step, having lost a leg to cancer and still struggling with the amputated one.  Augustus is not terminal, he has an 80% survival rate and therefore Hazel knows they have no chance of being together, after all - who wants to date someone like her, a grenade about to blow out of this world at any moment.<br/><br/>Yes, Augustus is like a drug, his quick wit, and great sense of humor are too much for Hazel and she finds herself falling even as she tried to hold back.  In a different life, in a different body, not one riddled with cancer, he would have been her Romeo...<br/><br/>The Fault In Our Stars is a book that I wish I would have read when it first came out.  After listening to this book on audio I am left a blubbering mass of emotion - and in a good way.  Like in the way when you know you have just experienced something BRILLIANT and you can not believe you were the only one around to experience it first hand.<br/><br/>  ""Sometimes, you read a book and it fills you with this weird evangelical zeal, and you become convinced that the shattered world will never be put back together unless and until all living humans read the book.""<br/><br/>This seven hour audio narrated by the amazing Kate Rudd is a do not miss on my book.  Seriously, if I could wrap up a copy of this audio book and had it to each of you reading this review, I would... because audio book lovers, you are in for a listening experience  that is like going to a high-end restaurant, eating a wonderful meal and discovering the bill has already been paid... and non audio book lovers, if you were ever on the edge of trying audio, let me personally recommend you make The Fault It Our Stars your #1 book to try.<br/><br/>  ""What a slut time is. She screws everybody.""<br/><br/>Where do I began my gushing?  Hazel and Augustus may very well right now be my favorite fictional couple. Hazel is dry and funny, and you can not help but laugh out loud with some of the things she says.  And Augustus, so gets her.  He too is extremely funny and witty.  Now you have heard of the Make A Wish foundation and you hear how many people choose a trip to Disney World?  In this book you will find the great wish to be a trip to see an author of a much beloved book to find out what would have happened next if there had been a sequel. (These... are my people!)<br/><br/>You may think a book about cancer is just too much, but this book is not about cancer.  Cancer is there, sure, but it is merely a back drop on an incredible story of two young people who decide to take a chance despite the odds, and in the end, both are better for it.<br/><br/>  Without experiencing great pain, you can never experience great joy.<br/><br/>I don't think I can rave enough to do this book justice.  It made me laugh, it made me cry.  It made me think.  John Green has a way with words that sent me full speed hurdling towards another of his books.  I wanted more... I needed more...<br/><br/>If you have already read this book, I highly HIGHLY recommend you go through it again on audio.  Treat yourself to something spectacular.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2AAYAH1YJCBVS?ASIN=014242417X	A roller coaster that only goes up!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in our Stars was my first John Green Experience. It was life altering. I'm not kidding. I will never be the same after reading this. John Green has written a novel so far beyond the ordinary. It's poignant and highly addictive, with a unique cast of characters, meaningful dialogue, and beautiful pacing. On the real, I was a mess while reading this; a snotty, bleary-eyes, tear-streaked, red-nosed, heartbroken, wailing mess while reading this. There are exactly three books I can recall getting this emotional with while reading and those would be Delirium by Lauren Oliver, Beautiful Chaos by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl, and We'll Always Have Summer by Jenny Han. If you check out previous posts on my blog, you'll no doubt discover how much I adored those books. The Fault in Our Stars has officially been added to my Crazy Emotional Adored Books list. Seriously, I had to get the roll of toilet paper and leave it next to me so I could blow my nose. And afterwards, I was so emotionally drained I could barely keep my eyes open. I now understand why everyone worships John Green.<br/><br/>I now worship John Green.<br/><br/>Hazel and Augustus are unlike any characters you've ever read, I promise you. Somehow Green manages to make their dialogue a perfect combination of intelligence, sarcastic humor, and depth. I don't know how he did it. I was alternating between laughing and crying. Hazel is quite the scrapper. She was diagnosed with cancer three years ago, but she never gives up. Sometimes she wishes she could die, but I don't think she really means it deep down. She's not typically one to give up. She's strong. She's so beyond her years, too. She's smart and passionate. Determined. An all around marvelous character. And Augustus Waters. My oh my. Augustus AugustusAugustusAugustusAugustusAugustus. I LOVE YOU. Like, he's nothing you've ever seen in a YA boy. I'm not even sure I can put him into words. He's kind and strong and a beautiful person. I wish I could meet a guy like Augustus Waters. Together they go on adventures that are weird and heartbreaking and unique.<br/><br/>I keep saying it's different and unique, but I think what I mean is that everything in this book is astoundingly real. The characters are real, the relationships are real, the plot is real. It's all real, authentic, genuine. It's difficult to explain, but people experience different things in life. John Green really thought out of the box with this book, which makes you wonder if perhaps he is secretly a sixteen year old girl with cancer, obsessed with a certain author worried that she's a grenade.<br/><br/>This book is stunning. If you don't read it pronto, I will be tempted to, ya know, shank you or something. I can't emphasize enough how much you need to read it. It's moving, fresh, different, and nerdalicious! I didn't even want to like this book. I am a rebel of sorts, and I don't like to flow with the hype. So I didn't want to like it, but I couldn't help it. This book is phenomenal in a way you'll only understand if you read it. There were some sentences, paragraphs, pages, chapters that literally took my breath away.<br/><br/>Just. Read. It.<br/><br/>Trust me.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RM1ARVIM5Y5H7?ASIN=014242417X	A beautifully HEARTBREAKING story everyone should read.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Everything about this book for me was just amazingly, beautifully, h.e.a.r.t.b.r.e.a.k.i.n.g!! In The Fault in Our Stars you will not encounter any paranormal creatures, take a journey in a dangerous Dystpoian world, none of this will happen in The Fault in Our Stars. What will happen though, is you will meet Hazel &amp; Augustus. The main character (Hazel) and her friend (Augusts) in this book who are in fact dying. Well, at least Hazel is. Augustus has been cancer free for a while now.<br/>Hazel Grace is such a beautiful narrator. Ever since Hazel was 13 years old she has been trying to live. Or to stay alive. She has terminal cancer, she can hardly breathe, as her lungs hate her and seem to not want to do what normal lungs should do. She is very limited as to what she can do, and it frustrates Hazel. But, she continues to move on, even though sometimes she just doesn't want to. Death just seems like the easier thing to do for her, and her family.<br/>Her mother has quit her job, so that she can be around Hazel at all times, but Hazel feels bad that. She does not want her parents to become so sad, and angry when Hazel dies that they fall apart. Even though Hazel will not be there, she wants them to live.<br/>Augusts Waters makes his appearance in Hazels life &amp; from that moment on, Hazel and Augusts are together, and the story just gets even more amazing.<br/>Augusts has such a kind soul. The way he takes life, the metaphors he gives about life, love, death. All of that really made you as the reader think! How amazing is it to have this character, who has been through so much, been so close to death and have just this awesome way of thinking. Augusts really blew me away. He really touched my heart. Everything about Augusts was just so... inspirational. I thought that he was a great part of The Fault in Our Stars. And I thought that he was a great part of Hazel. The way that he felt about her. The things that he did for her, and in the end kept from her, because he loved her.<br/>Hazel has this wish of one day knowing the ending of this book that she loves so much. A book that she has read many times over and over. One day Augusts fills one of Hazels wishes, and even thought it seems that they will never be able to go, they are both finally well enough to make the trip to Amsterdam, to finally get the answers that Hazel is looking for.<br/>Their trip is a rather emotional one. Love is blossoming, a real connection between them. &amp; then discoveries are made, and things change. Augusts has something that he needs to tell Hazel, that he hasn't been able to until now.<br/>After this you will be on an emotional rollercoaster of happy moments, and moments where you can hardly breathe. I never thought a book would ever make me feel the way that The Fault in Our Stars did. This book did things to my emotions I have never experienced while reading.<br/>John Green really wrote something beautiful, and no words I ever use in this review will amount to the love, and how much I will forever cherish this book, &amp; the way it made me feel.<br/>I recommend that you read this book. Yes, this is a book about cancer, but that is not just the point of the book. A mix of; Friendship, Love, Hope, Faith, Understanding, Heart breaking moments, Death, Life. The journey of finding yourself when you feel the only thing left for you is death even, when you know that in the end that is what will happen... but understanding that while you are alive, you can live and love.<br/><br/> ""That's the thing about pain...it demands to be felt.""<br/><br/>""Grief does not change you, Hazel. It reveals you.""</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2YLAKFD92P2CB?ASIN=014242417X	A beautiful story that I'll read again and again!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is my first John Green book that I've read, and to be honest I'd never even heard of John Green before my archaeology professor suggested watching his Crash Course: World History videos (by the way I've learned more watching his 12 minutes videos than a whole semester in class). In his videos, he was hilarious, engaging and informative, so I figured I'd give him a try. The verdict: John Green is amazing!!!<br/><br/>Now, I don't usually read that much contemporary - I like to relish in a fictional world because reality is a harsh mistress. So I was a bit surprised to find myself thoroughly engrossed with young lives and how cancer can put a deadline on your life and making you want to live it all that more fiercely.<br/><br/>The cover is so unassuming and you'd never guess what the story was behind such a simple cover - so it's definitely a ""don't judge a book by its cover"" kind of book. But I love the bright colors and the more personal hand written like font on the cover.<br/><br/>Green was fairly successful in creating a female character that was believable (she laments at her looks), but also a character that is distinct in who she is due to her experiences. When we first meet Hazel, we're given a run down of her cancer history, and how a miracle drug has extended her life for the moment. Given all that she's been through, it's difficult to lead a stereotypical 16 year old life - if anything she's accelerated her life to maximize the time she has left by finishing highschool early, and even attending college. As a result she's a very mature young woman, with an extensive vocabulary that might end up throwing off some readers - but I found it extremely refreshing to have such a developed voice narrating. Now that's not to say she doesn't show some younger more teenage qualities, she still gushes with friends, watches frivolous tv shows and longs for love. But it all balances out to make her an amazing character with depth, witty sarcasm and the ability to take all things in stride.<br/><br/>Augustus Waters is a cancer survivor, and joins the group in support for Hazel and his' mutual friend Isaac. He's healthy and shows no signs of former sickness, and like Hazel I was unsure as to his motives at first. But when he opens his mouth he proves that he's insanely intelligent and full of philosophical meanderings that can definitely keep up with Hazel. The dialogue, banter and conversations between Augustus and Hazel are at times the funniest and most beautiful moments in the book.<br/><br/>Although Hazel is hesitant at first, for good reason, they eventually come to a mutual understanding and as their relationship evolves they end up forever bound together by the shared love for a certain book written by a surly author. So begins an epic quest to answer their questions about the book, that takes them down a road that will completely change both of their lives.<br/><br/>The cast of secondary characters were perfect in their supplement to the story. I especially loved Isaac, and how his friendship with both Hazel and Augustus ended up playing such a monumental role. Hazel's parents were also incredible characters to watch because they have had to deal with all the near misses she's gone through and how they live in the now, and what the possibilities are in the future. The story doesn't just focus on Hazel, but also all the people that she's affected in her life by being this amazing person.<br/><br/>Green's writing style perfectly blends the seriousness of the situation with some meaning of life pondering, and banter to balance the morbidity, along with really sweet romance and friendship. Now, a fair warning - before you start this book get a box of Kleenex, you'll likely need it. That's not to say that this book is strictly sad (I mean it is a cancer subjected book, and Hazel is terminally ill), but I cried because I laughed so hard, and then I cried because moments between Hazel and Augustus were just so exquisitely beautiful that I had no words. So I probably looked insane reading this book because one moment I was laughing hysterically, and then the next I was streaming tears, but in the end it was all worth it because where this book took me as I followed their journey, and the relationship between Augustus and Hazel is awe inspiring and gives the brightest glimmer of hope just when you think there is none.<br/><br/>This definitely isn't a book to be restricted to just young adults. I bought copies for lots of people I knew because it just needed to be shared, and I didn't want to part with my own personal copy and they ended up giving their copies to relatives to read because it has such a profound effect on them after they read it. That's how I feel about this book - that it's so awesome I had to share it with everyone! So everyone go read it if you haven't already!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3QZCTLWQ2VQ8B?ASIN=014242417X	Have some tissues handy!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">What can I say about this book that can truly show just how amazing it was? Nothing. My words totally fail me here. This is a funny book. This is a raw book. This is a sad book. This is a book that made me readjust the way I see the world. This is an incredible book -- and incredibly moving book. Masterful!<br/><br/>Hazel is the narrator of this book, a sixteen year old girl who has spent the past three years of her life battling cancer and dealing with all of the side effects of this disease. Her lungs are filled with fluid, causing her pain and an unnerving sense of drowning at times. Hazel is funny and real. In a tragic situation she could say so many things that were absolutely hilarious. She was a great narrator for this story. People treat her differently because of her disease, and she really just wants to not have to deal with it. Who wouldn't feel that way? One of the requirements that her parents have for her is that she attend a support group for cancer kids, and normally this drives her crazy, but one day she shows up and meets Augustus Waters, bone cancer survivor who is attending to support his friend Isaac who is getting ready to lose his last good eye to cancer.<br/><br/>Augustus is amazing! I love this boy so much! He is funny and caring and insightful. He doesn't treat Hazel differently. He treats her normally, and this is exactly what Hazel needs. Except that Hazel is afraid to allow anyone to really love her because she doesn't want to be a ""grenade"" when she dies, leaving mourning and broken people in her wake because of their love for her. So she keeps her distance from Augustus. At first. But Augustus is hard to resist, and seeing this blooming romance was magical for me.<br/><br/>I really don't want to spoil any of the experience of this book, so I won't go into further detail. I'll just say this ... keep some tissues handy. It takes a lot to make me cry during a book. A lot. I don't do it often. In fact, so many of the reviews of this book talked about people crying, so I was expecting to cry. Then when a big tragic moment occurs in the story I didn't find myself crying right away, so I began to question what was wrong with me. Well, I questioned myself too soon because I found that it was not in dying that tragedy occurs, but it is in living after the death of someone we love. Those were the moments that touched me deeply, and those moments in this book were written beautifully. So beautifully.<br/><br/>One Augustus quote that I loved:<br/><br/>You don't get to choose if you get hurt in this world, old man, but you do have some say in who hurts you. I like my choices. I hope she likes hers.<br/><br/>Love that boy! Love this story! It is a definite must read book for everyone! Five HUGE stars!!!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RCIP4YH0ZK31I?ASIN=014242417X	The Stars Almost Shine to Perfection	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Having written a YA teen cancer/romance story, I was a bit nervous about this book. I was afraid it would hold all the secrets my own story contained. Upon finally cracking the story open, I was relieved to find that The Fault in Our Stars is not A Place In This Life... but something else entirely and very good. Hazel and Augustus are two kids with terminal cancer (at first Augustus seems totally cured, having endured amputation of his leg due to osteosarcoma) who meet in support group. They click almost instantly and with a charm and wit unlike any other teen couple I've read in recent years.<br/><br/>They are also extremely mature with their language and dialogue, which I find unrealistic. However, there are kids (and adults) out there who use complex language more freely than others (think Frasier Crane), and Hazel and Augustus are in this realm. Once I got over the mature dialogue, I saw that John Green was able to weave a story around the friends and lovers that also involved cancer. At times I forgot that the kids were suffering, and that is wonderful because when you have a disease, be it cancer or something autoimmune or neurological, your life shouldn't be the disease. You still have to live. Hazel and Augustus do this.<br/><br/>While many readers of this book cried, I did not. Perhaps it is because I've experienced the horrors of cancer in my family and in my own life (thought I had thyroid cancer several years ago, which is what Hazel had). Not sure why I didn't cry. Maybe I am numb?<br/><br/>My only other qualm with this book is the ending. It felt stunted and unsatisfying. Now, I realize that with books pertaining to characters with cancer that the outcomes are often dismal and sad at best, and that is conveyed in this book. However, I would have envisioned a different ending. Maybe it's just me.<br/><br/>Overall, this book was an easy read because it flowed to perfection. I enjoyed it immensely and will seek out more of Green's books in the future.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3BNAKPOGNO7Z4?ASIN=014242417X	This book changed how I see things.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Before I review this book, I have to give you a bit of background on myself so you know where I'm coming from.<br/>  I'm a fifteen year old teenage girl residing in the United States. I am an avid reader and am very passionate about the community involving John Green, but that was before I read this book.<br/>  My first John Green novel was ""Looking For Alaska"", which I enjoyed greatly, so I decided to give his newest novel a go.<br/>I have never cried harder after reading a book. This book, unlike most novels geared towards teenagers (although I have had adults read it, who all return the book red-eyed and sobbing) this book is filled with metaphors and hidden meanings. I've read this book six times cover-to-cover and unveil something new each time. The plot is beautiful, yet cheesy, and expresses the true feel of humanity, how people that with cancer are glorified, when really they are like everyone else.<br/>  The characters in this novel are dynamic and wonderful and are very easy to attach to. Hazel, a sixteen year old girl living in Indianapolis, has has a thyroid with stage 4 mets in her lungs, a drug called Phalanxifor keeps her alive. A seventeen year old boy named Augustus is her opposite, he had a touch of osteosarcoma a year and a half ago, and he's riding on a roller coaster that only goes up. I loved these characters, from Hazel being a strong, well-developed character (unlike some other novels geared toward teens- ahem- Twilight) that is a perfect representation to what this book shows. Her character displays a normal teenage girl, just like any other, but with a touch of cancer.  Augustus is just a massive symbol for about anything, and his character can turn your views inside out. His enthusiasm and depth amaze me as a fictional (although i wish he wasn't) character.<br/>  A local girl in my area has had leukemia for 6 years. The community rallies around her and gifts her things, praises her, I wouldn't be surprised if someone had a shrine for her. After reading this book, I feel as though I can meet her eye-to-eye. After talking with her, it emphasized the meaning of the book; we're all the same, even when we're sick. She was just like me, in every way, but just with a touch of cancer.<br/>  This incredible novel made me think and feel things in a way I never thought I would have. If this is your first Green novel, please, dear god, read his others and let them change you the same way that they have changed me.<br/>Thank you for reading<br/>~Sydney.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2GFL9JYXW01DL?ASIN=014242417X	An amazing, life affirming read. Reading this book is like sitting with your best friend, under a bright blue sky with nothing b	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Goodness! This is going to be one of those gushing reviews where not a lot is said about plot, but much will be said about why you should read it. Let me jump right in.<br/><br/>This book is about cancer. Specifically, two teens living with cancer. One teen, Hazel Grace is not doing as well as she probably could be, but she knows, as well as her family, that her days are numbered and that the BIG day will come. Augustus Waters is this beyond beautiful guy that Hazel meets at support group. He's like no other boy she's ever met and he sees in her, what no one has seen in her before. Life. Hazel Grace, even in her weakened state, exudes life and this is what makes Augustus (Gus) fall head-over-heels in love with her. The two form a bond that is both heartbreaking and joyous. They know that their relationship cannot go on forever, and yet... they live as if it will.<br/><br/>Sigh.<br/><br/>This is such a lovely book and if you had told me a month ago that I would be gushing over a book about cancer, I would have given you my ""You've got to be kidding!"" look and not given it a second thought but this book is AMAZING in so many ways. Although these characters never hide from their illness, the story itself is incredibly positive and life affirming and while reading it, it felt so good to be alive. Everything seemed more beautiful to me and that is why this book is so amazing. I'd close the book and drive home and even traffic seemed special to me or the bird singing outside my window seemed more important than the day before. It just made me feel good.<br/><br/>The other thing that blew my mind was how much I loved these characters. Hazel and Augustus are these awesome kids that you can't help but love. They are flawed in that they never realize just how wonderful they are but their love is so pure and so genuine that I shed many a tear while reading the book and I dreaded the end. When I finally turned that last page, I wanted to go right back to the beginning and start all over again just so I could spend more time with them. Such a beautiful story and so well done. I borrowed this copy but now I want a copy of my own.<br/><br/>I know it's difficult to gather up the courage to read a book about cancer, but seriously, you won't be sorry. In fact, you'll be so glad you did, that you'll come back here and tell me so.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3IUK01P2A9L9T?ASIN=014242417X	Bring Your Kleenex	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is a library audio CD version of the book. I think had I not listened to the book, narrated by Kate Rudd, I would have given up early. The characters are pretentious, unreal, and unlikable. But I loved Kate's voice and her ability to bring life into the story. It is amazing how soon I was pulled in, in spite of myself, and cared deeply for the characters.<br/><br/>As has been mentioned in previous reviews, the book description, and my tags, this is a book about teens who have cancer. As if being a teen isn't difficult enough to go through, add to it, dying. So, yes, this is a bring your Kleenex book. But it is bittersweet and you may find yourself laughing at the antics of the characters and their lighthearted take on the serious situations they find themselves in.<br/><br/>Would all teens with cancer like this book? Would all young adults? I don't know. I am 62 and I loved it! Not the subject matter. I lost my mother to cancer. It isn't pretty. But we all deal with life and what it hands us differently. But for Hazel, Augustus and Isaac, this is their lives and how they choose to live and die. Philosophies of life and love are examined and either embraced or rejected and sometimes both.<br/><br/>I may eventually buy the Audible version and the Kindle version as I feel there is a lot to learn about writing within these pages. I would like to see how I'll imagine the voices/personalities without Kate Rudd's voice.<br/><br/>What is special about this version is the interview with John Green at the end of the book. He talks about the writing process attached to this book. He, also, said that he made an audio version with his own voice. That would be fun to see how he would interpret his own words.<br/><br/>I think it is a great read, but I wouldn't go so far as to make it a mandatory book for high-schoolers. In fact, I would caution the reader to choose a time in their lives when they feel stable to then savor this book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1VSUL213VCGDY?ASIN=014242417X	Beautiful and Perfect and Heartbreaking	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I've been watching Vlog Brothers videos for some time now, and was excited to actually read a John Green novel. I heard him read the first two chapters on youtube, and read the first two chapters in a John Green Esampler offered on Amazon. The other three sample chapters didn't grab me this way The Fault in Our Stars did. It might have something to do with 'me being there' during the creation of this book.<br/><br/>I put off reading it for a while, as I had a pile of other books to plow through, but in actuality because I was afraid to read it. I knew that it was going to be sad, and I'd read tweets and tumblr posts about how the book made someone cry. I've read sad books before, but yet and still, I was afraid to read it. To that end, I'm not sure if that really was the case. It may have been a case where it was so built up by all the other Nerdfighters that I didn't want to read it in case I was disappointed. I read it. I was not prepared for what this book did to me.<br/><br/>I read The Fault in Our Stars in about twelve hours. In that time I was struck with how sweet and awkward Hazel and Augustus were with each other. I was blown away with the love Augustus had for Hazel. It wasn't the puppy love you usually equate with teenagers, but something much more mature. It was the I'm ready to spend the rest of my life with you love...<br/><br/>I cried. I stopped. I cried some more. This was the first book to make me cry. I teared up while reading the Deathly Hallows, but never truly cried. I was not prepared for the tears the flowed while reading this book. The more I read the more my heart broke. The more I read the more tears flowed. The more I read this book the moved I became.<br/><br/>I've read YA books before.  A lot of them seem to be Twilight copies, or if not that, along the same vein as Twilight. There was no depth to them, and they were found to be wanting. This book has completely restored my faith in the YA genre, as I often read YA books to recommend to my baby sister. This book was so beautiful and perfect and heartbreaking. I want to share it with people, but yet keep it to myself.<br/><br/>Never has a book affected me so deeply. Suffice it to say, I highly recommend this book.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3H7PIK6WJ5Y1V?ASIN=014242417X	A cancer survivor book?  Not quite...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I'm the kind of person who avoid sad and depressing books when I'm not in an extremely happy and relaxed mood, which I'm not right now...so I was going to pass on this book when I found out that it's about some teenagers with cancer. I mean, come on...we all have our own real life challenges and problems, who have time to read about some 16-year-olds complaining about life being unfair, unhappy and unfulfilled? However, my daughter was introduced to Green by reading his ""An Abundance of Katherines"", and really liked him, so I promised her to read along. I was so glad I read this book. It has just become one of my all time favorites.<br/><br/>The story was narrated by Hazel, a 16-year-old girl with progressive thyroid cancer that somehow weakened her lungs so she required an oxygen tank constantly. She met Augustus (Gus) Waters, a previous basketball star that lost a leg to bone cancer, at a support group. Well, of course, they were immediately attracted to each other.<br/><br/>The story is not about cancer, not quite. It's about love, loss, pain, hope, fear, struggle, friends, family...everything that is dear or not so dear to us. Both Hazel and Gus are mature for their age, very wise, humorous and a tad cynical. Reading their exchanges and thoughts was such an enjoyable experience, poetic at times.<br/><br/>""They always list depression among the side effects of cancer. But, in fact, depression is a not a side effect of cancer. Depression is a side effect of dying.""<br/><br/>""I'm in love with you, and I'm not in the business of denying myself the simple pleasure of saying true things. I'm in love with you, and I know that love is just a shout into the void, and that oblivion is inevitable, and that we're all doomed and that there will come a day when all our labor has been returned to dust, and I know the sun will swallow the only earth we'll ever have, and I am in love with you.""<br/><br/>I'm not going to reveal the ending, or the middle here...which I usually don't like to do in my reviews. I will just say that anyone with a heart will definitely get something out of this book, whether if it's joy, pain or a big hole in that heart...</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1F7LK2S18XO88?ASIN=014242417X	Eloquent in its Devastation, Poignant in its Humor and Unforgiving in its Honesty	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is a long review, just sayin'<br/><br/>The Fault In Our Stars has been out for a few months now and I'm a little late to the game, but better late than never, right?! This is a book that has and will evoke very intense emotions and thoughts, both positive and negative. I've read many reviews ranging from DNF to 5++++ stars, pre-reading and post-reading, and I've seen some very compelling arguments for the negative and the positive. I am in the latter category having loved this book and have a lot to say as to why. In fact, I find I have a lot to say about the book in general and the passion/anger/sadness/etc it has produced in readers. So, with that being said, I have no idea how long or short this review will be (turns out it's very long), how analytical or explicative I may get (spoiler alert: very), or if it will be remotely helpful (probably not *shrugs*). I always aim to write helpful reviews, to help readers determine whether a book is worth the read, but in the case of this book I think I must be selfish and write this review first for me, simply so that I can get all my thoughts down.<br/><br/>If you really just want the gist of my thoughts and really do not want to read the whole thing (and good Lord, I don't blame you), then here you go, the important things:<br/>The Fault In Our Stars is a superbly written novel that will make you cry, make you laugh and hopefully leave you thoughtful, but never really leave you. With compelling characters, an addictive romance and an unforgettable voice, John Green has created a story that is as touching as it is electric, funny as it is thought-provoking and completely captivating. A must read. 5 Cupcakes<br/>...there you go, the important highlights of my review. Now, if you actually want to stick around for the rest of my ramblings (YAY! you if ya do) then please proceed......<br/><br/>I'm not going to spend too much time on a book summary; I think the blurb above does a great job of that. And besides, how does one really sum up this book without including spoilers? This is a book about a sixteen year old girl, Hazel, who is dying of cancer. She meets Augustus, a cancer survivor. They fall in love. People die. Heartache and grief ensue. Snarky humor and introspective honesty is used to deal with this heartache, grief and pain. Oh, and a heck of a lot of stuff happens between page one and page 313...okay, so apparently that's how one summarizes this book without being spoilery.<br/><br/>This is a cancer book that isn't a cancer book, because like Hazel says ""...cancer books suck"" (pg 48). And perhaps they do. There is no shortage of YA ""cancer books"", all approaching the topic in their own ways (some with humor, some with lighthearted fluff, some full of sarcasm, some full of uplifting joy), none right or wrong. So does John Green really bring anything new to table with his non-cancer cancer book? For me (and really, I can only answer this question for myself), yes, yes he does. The newness does not necessarily come from his use of acerbic wit or his very intelligent, snarky and mature teenage characters or his rollercoaster storyline. No, the newness (again for me) comes from the way this humor, these characters, this story moved me, touched me, captured me in ways that no other book like it ever has. Will all readers experience the same emotions, affects, thoughts as me? Of course not. But readers will feel something. This book will evoke strong, thought-provoking emotions and thoughts. Good or bad, positive or negative, these emotions will be powerful enough that, based on the many varying reviews I've read, readers will want and need to talk about them. And isn't that in itself an impressive and original feat?<br/><br/>This isn't always an easy story to read. Enjoyable and entertaining, yes. But not always easy. There's a relentlessness to it that can be hard to take (at times unbearable) and at times I had to close the book and walk away for a while. Such is life. One of the things that often pops up in reviews of this book is the idea that perhaps John Green has no right to write a cancer book, especially one that laughs at the general idea of cancer books, simply because he has not personally experienced what he writes about. Now, I'm not here to discuss who has the right to write about what because that's a topic that needs its own place and time for discussion. But, I do get this criticism and concern and I'll admit that this line of thinking crossed my mind several times while reading the book. But then I remembered the author's note Green includes in the beginning of the book, one that says ""This book is a work of fiction. I made it up"" (Author's Note). This story isn't real, the characters aren't real, no matter how real it all may seem (and we want it to feel real, don't we?), but that doesn't mean what this book makes us feel isn't any less real. I really had to place myself in this mindset before the book simply became Too Much and before I could truly enjoy it for what it is and not for what I thought it should be.<br/><br/>And what is, is a story that is eloquent in its devastation, poignant in its humor and unforgiving in its honesty. This is a book that unabashedly asks a lot of its readers. It asks them first and foremost to remember that it is a work of fiction, second it ask them to remain open to all the possible emotions and thoughts it may evoke and to use them as needed, and thirdly, it asks them to take the characters for who they are and not who you want them to be, need them to be or think they should be.<br/><br/>Green has created very complex and layered characters. Hazel and Augustus are both highly intelligent, sarcastic and snarky to the bone and unflinchingly honest. But where Augustus' personality and charm (he has a ton) is larger than life big and loud, Hazel's personality is full of quiet subtlety and unassuming boldness. Are they always easy to love? No, but therein lays their realism. I didn't always like Augustus' arrogance or Hazel's judgmental tendencies, but I love the fact that Green makes it okay for me to not always like these characters. Green doesn't use their cancer has a way to constantly draw on the sympathies of his readers. These are imperfect, flawed, often frustrating characters and I wouldn't want them any other way. Hazel and Augustus' friendship and romance is wonderfully written. This is a relationship that unfolds naturally and without pretense.<br/><br/>The teenage characters in this book often talk a bit verbosely, with big, intelligent vocabularies and insightful soliloquies...think Dawson's Creek. Some readers may find this unrealistic and inappropriate. I find it pretty darn awesome. Why shouldn't teenagers talk and think in this way? Especially teenagers who are literally faced with and contemplating life's biggest and scariest questions.<br/><br/>With books that deal with heavy stuff, like cancer, readers often associate them with life lessons. The characters in TFIOS often make fun of this very notion (and in very laugh out loud ways, I might add), which is something in itself that I've noticed sparks a lot of emotion in readers (again, good and bad). Personally, I didn't mind this dark humor and honesty. But it does lead to the question- What does this book teach us? My answer: nothing or maybe everything. Honestly, I don't know. I'll admit that I'm usually the type of person that will analyze a book to death to find the ""point"", no matter how presumptuous that may make me. And I'm not the only one; I've noticed that many other people wonder the same thing about this particular book- What does it mean? What purpose does it have? What glorious life lessons am I supposed to walk away with? Again, I can only speak for myself. The only lesson I walked away with is that there are no lessons. There is no glorious truth or lesson to learn from watching a teenager waste away painfully from cancer. There are no uplifting encouragements that will truly offer comfort to those left behind. And questions don't always need answers.<br/><br/>And questions abound in this book. Big, life altering questions. Small seemingly insignificant questions. Questions about beginnings, about endings, about long afters. I love questions, but I crave answers, so I was surprised to find that I didn't mind the lack of answers. In fact, I think answers would ruin the story for me. There's something utterly terrifying, but completely captivating about a question that you know will never truly be answered. And in the end, for me, this book isn't about the answers; it's about how the questions change and affect the characters.<br/><br/>MY FINAL THOUGHTS: The Fault In Our Stars is a book that leaves a mark, whether that mark comes in the form of a breathtaking ache of a beautiful heartbreak or the blow of a sucker punch in the gut or the sting of a slap in the face, will depend on the reader. This reader has been marked by all three. Funny, Touching, Surprising, Powerful...I could go on with the adjectives, but I won't. I'll simply say that for me this YA at its best and an absolute MUST read!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2TVO82NO5FF68?ASIN=014242417X	Tear fest that I would pay to attend (and did)	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">There is no use denying that this story is a sad one that will make you cry, or want to.  It makes that clear from the first paragraph, from the blurb on the back.  But unlike most books dealing with death or illness or sadness, this one doesn't give you anything you didn't already have going in.  You aren't going to feel any better about yourself afterwards, or any worse.  You won't feel guilty or full of inspired vigor to ""live"" or whatnot, just happily (and tearfully) afloat in the sea of menial living and all that has to offer, good and bad: the small worlds we actually inhabit as opposed to the huge ones we imagine.  Maybe ten people make up your world.  And that's pretty amazing if you have that many.  It's lovely and sad and part grief for our own delusions of self grandeur and remorse that we are, undoubtedly, fleeting and have only these moments to share.  If nothing else, you will feel slightly muted because you're reminded once again how life is both BIG and SMALL at the same time and how we are all the only narrators of our own life story.  I started crying like a child around page 200 or so and didn't stop until the end, about an hour ago.  It was an easy, beautiful read.  All John Green books are like this - full of vibrant characters who don't quite speak how teenagers (or anyone) speaks, but instead how we WISH we could and how we THINK we do in our internal narration room... which is why I think it's great literature.  It takes the time to distort things just enough to be true, not quite believable as every-day goes, but utterly true as far as our internal worlds go.  Books are about individuals talking about individuals.  I don't feel that I am being cheated of reality by having the coolest, most profound interpretations of our lives presented.  I work in a high school - and a year can go by before I overhear anything similar to what these kids say ""aloud"" but let me tell you, I find their notes to each other everywhere and this is exactly what they ""think"" - teens are quite profound.  I have forced the student population to read Looking for Alaska and Paper Towns to great success... and this year, I will add The Fault in Our Stars, though I expect many tear stained copies returned.  The man has a talent, can mix big ideas and classic philosophies with modern sensibilities and make it work.  Teens memorizing poetry enough to quote it back to each other?  Doubtful, but they would in their perfect world... which is what we all want to read about.  That internal perfect world.  Where we live up to our own expectations.  And what is better than having a 15 year old come up to the circulation desk and ask to read T.S. Eliot because it was quoted in the Fault in Our Stars?  NOTHING.  Once again, adult beverages raised in honor of Mr. Green, keeping the caliber high and unexpected.<br/><br/>Only complaint is that it is not yet in paperback, and no doubt the parents will complain over another hardcover choice for Summer Reading.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RHD93F5OI3RCL?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in Our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars is a beautifully written, imagined, and casted novel. (Casted...is that a word? Eh, who cares.)<br/>  The story follows sixteen-year-old ""Just Hazel"" Hazel Grace Lancaster, who was only thirteen when she was diagnosed with Stage IV thyroid cancer. But some (imaginary, btw) drug gave Hazel a few more years.<br/>  When Hazel's mother declares her ""depressed"", she's forced into joining a Cancer Kid Support Group. There, she meets the gorgeous, smart and always funny, Augustus Waters. From this day onward, Hazel's (broken record of a) life is completely changed. For the first time, she has a friend. Someone to talk to about the complexities of life and (my favorite!) books.<br/>  Okay, summary over. Seriously, you too lazy to read the synopsis that is literally a scroll away? Jeez.<br/>  Hazel is a very lovable, funny character. Despite her illness, she has an optimistic outlook on life that's as refreshing and humorous as it is heartbreaking. Her character is beautifully depicted. She isn't so...perfect (is that the word I'm looking for?), she has actual issues aside from being a loner and boyfriendless. She's as real as they come people.<br/>  Same goes for Augustus. He's an amazing character. And, like most of Green's characters, is definitely one you want on your side! He's Hazel's perfect counterpart; they're like matching puzzle pieces.<br/>  Oh, and don't you dare let me forget Isaac! He is so funny! His dialogue is some of the most hilarious, like, ever.<br/>  Many people, I'm sure, hate the ending. (Or, hey, now that I've said something are reconsidering and going, ""Thanks, Sierra. I so hate the ending now! You...word that rhymes with itch!) I, being the awesomesause person I so am, loved the ending. It was so bittersweet, you just have to love it! And you want to know why? (Brace yourself. Not a spoiler though. Those suck eggs.) Because ""real life"" isn't perfect, and I praise John Green for, not only knowing that, but having the guts to write it.<br/>  We all know that, too much in YA books, the characters end up with perfect lives, problems solved--the endings so unrealistic, you wish they'd get hit by a bus for karmic payback and whatnot. The Fault in Our Stars defies that, and wraps up with a perfectly beautiful ending, that makes the whole book mean something. I finished it over two hours ago, and am still thinking about it.<br/>  Well done. Definitely one for the gold shelf!  4/5 stars<br/>  (It's about to get nerdy in here, watch out! Book reference!)<br/>  Okay?<br/>  Okay. ;)</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2VL1WYX4Z7Y29?ASIN=014242417X	Well, done, John Green. Well done.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">My roommate Kaetlyn sat in awkward dismay on the futon as I sobbed on the old, blue love seat across the room. She had her computer on her lap and she tried to distract herself by scanning Facebook and Twitter. The decaf coffee I had made to trick my mind into staying awake had turned cold, and I stared at the bare-black cover of  The Fault in Our Stars.<br/><br/>Felto walked in the room to me sobbing and asked, ""Is there something wrong?""<br/><br/>""I finished the book,"" I gasped between blowing my nose and wiping my eyes with another tissue. A pile laid there on the floor. I had been crying for at least forty pages.<br/><br/>""I see that.""<br/><br/>""It was sad.""<br/><br/>""I'm sorry,"" she said, laughing.  ""That's not funny at all.""<br/><br/>Believe it or not, it is actually a rare occurance for me to cry over a book. I can only remember a few times I've felt so much at an end. Therefore, it is easy to conclude that John Green has accomplished something rare. He has made us fall in love with characters so much that we cannot let them go after they speak their last words. He has created a story that breaks hearts; that makes us accept reality as it is and hate how depraved and wicked the world is.<br/><br/>The main character, Hazel Grace, is an atheist sixteen-year-old girl living with cancer, who falls in love with an agnostic seventeen-year-old boy, Augustus. Augustus is a cancer survivor, and Hazel is expecting death in a few years, maybe. She does not know how much time she has left.<br/><br/>Christians might be (I hope they aren't) turned off by the atheist and agnostic comments in the book, but there is a truth in them. Hazel prays even though she doesn't believe in God, or god. She prays because it seems proper to pray; she struggles with knowing why the universe exists as it does. I feel like that's a common state of adolescence: you're in this unknown place and you're not sure why it exists, and you're beginning to realize that you'll never really know because they are not in your textbook.<br/><br/>(Us Christians may say that they haven't found the right textbook yet, but for most people, The Bible is a book. I don't know if they ever categorize it as fiction; I do know that they don't actually see the truth of the words within it.)<br/><br/>And, Hazel has reasons to be atheist. She has a terminal disease, and has no answer as to why she was the one to develop mutant cells. She has met plenty of other teenagers with cancer, and she has seen how their names just get tacked on to an end of a list when they die. They're the grocery list of prayer. She has no reason to believe that she'll be nothing but a name on a list, and a grenade to anyone she has touched emotionally.<br/><br/>So she falls in love--a passionate, unconditional love. Augustus loves her in the same way. They enter a relationship they know cannot last; they see the danger from the beginning. Unlike most teenage relationships, there are no rosy sunglasses beneath their eyes. And it breaks your heart because their love doesn't end in the book, and you want to fight the universe so that they could live and be together and get in fights and break up like normal teenagers. But nothing is normal for them.<br/><br/>It makes you think about your own life and your own relationships and you realize how fragile it all is. How lucky you are that you know you have a chance to grow old with someone. You realize that you're lucky you have a God that is good to you and who does nothing in vain. But then you realize that you can't comfort yourself in this tragedy. Hazel and Augustus would not find a pleasant afterlife.<br/><br/>I know, I know. They're characters.  That comforts me a lot.I don't actually have to worry about what happens to them after the novel ends.  I still struggled a lot with all of this as I read the TFiOS, but I as I sat, looking at the black cover (I had taken the sleeve off to keep it nice), I realized that I ached to start reading it again as soon as I finished it.<br/><br/>But I wouldn't change a single part of the story. That happens to me. I guess there is a first for everything. It may beat out Northanger Abbey as my favorite.<br/><br/>Well done, John Green, well done.<br/><br/>[...]</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R31N5BXT9G4E44?ASIN=014242417X	Review for The Fault In Our Stars By: John Green	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Well I just finished the book and I don't think I'm quite ready to write a review yet but I'm going to go for it anyways because I don't want to forget anything. The Fault In Our Stars is a story about a girl named Hazel who has Lung cancer I'm pretty sure it is. Well she goes to a support group for cancer patients. This support group is where she meets the love of her life Augustus Waters. Now normally I don't fall for guys in books right away and if i do I don't stay in love with them but this boy I fell for and didn't lost the feeling throughout the whole book. This book I swear was so amazing and heartbreaking. Near the end I didn't want to keep reading i had to keep putting it down to compose myself and not because it was bad but because it was so sad.<br/><br/>Hazel has had cancer most of her life and she knows she is dying. She doesn't know when she'll die because she has her good days and then her bad but she knows she will at some point. She is such an inspirational character all the way because she's so strong even when her life was fading away. She decides to let Augustus into her life because she knows that he loves her and that she loves in.<br/><br/>Augustus is a very smart, and also inspiring young man. He also got cancer when he was very young and he lost his leg. Luckily though when we met him he was cancer free. He fell for Hazel as soon as he laid eyes on her which mad me fall for him. He knew that at the time she would probably die first but he accepted it and he was there for her until he couldn't be anymore.<br/><br/>The two of them loved this book so much that ended randomly and they wanted to find out what happened. Together Hazel &amp; Gus tracked down this author, using Gus's cancer wish and they fly to visit him for answers. I won't tell you what happened on that trip because of spillers but I will say jus before they left Hazel got some very bad news but in the end the two of them dealt with it together as best they could until they couldn't any longer. They were both very strong up until the end.<br/><br/>I give this inspirational story 5 out of 5 stars because it kept you turning pages until you couldn't anymore. It reached out and grabbed you before you even finished the first sentence of the first page. I must say i'm extremely glad that The Fault In Our Stars was my pick for my first John Green book. I hope to read more by him in the very near future.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R227IKIZGNYHWP?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I've been a fan of John Green's since Looking for Alaska. I also enjoyed Paper Towns, but still have never gotten around to An Abundance of Katherines, and probably never will. Sometimes there are just books that don't appeal to me, and that's one of them. But I LOVE John Green's work, and had eagerly anticipated The Fault in Our Stars. I knew John had a new book coming out, but I had refused to read any summaries, reviews, etc, because I simply wanted to go into the book without any preconceptions.<br/><br/>Ironically, last month, a finally brought myself to read My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult. Let's just say that I've now had my fill of 'cancer' books. At this point I should mention that I also loved Jordan Sonnenblick's Drums, Girls &amp; Dangerous Pie. This is a must read, IMHO.<br/><br/>John Green did not disappoint. I rated this book 5 out of 5 stars, though I will say that as a made my way through the first half of the book, I wasn't sure if that would be the case. I often found myself having to reread sentences and passages. I can often read a book, skipping sentences here and there, because I know what the author is going to write next. I can't do that with John's books....but I'm glad! Reading this book made me feel smart!! Reading this book made me want to be smarter and wittier than Hazel and Augustus. I wanted to connect with them on their level, but I realized, that that level of intellect and wit belonged to them. They owned that, they needed that, and I was just lucky enough to be reading their story. Thank you, John Green, for that.<br/><br/>What I feel now, after finishing, is that Augustus needed Hazel, and Hazel needed Augustus, and the world needs to know that there is someone out there for everyone. This book is an emotional roller coaster, but that's okay, because what Hazel and Augustus have to say about life, leaving it behind, and the world that we belong in, will make us all evaluate who we are and what we will one day leave behind as our legacy.<br/><br/>Other thoughts I had on the book, and I would love to hear from other's who've finished it:<br/><br/>Hazel needed to know what happened to Anna, her mom, the Dutch Tulip Man, and Sisyphus the Hamster...John Green - I need to know what happened to Hazel, her mom, and Peter Van Houten the Author<br/>I REALLY thought that when Hazel knew that her mother would have a life after her death, that her time to let go had come......but this goes back to the first bullet point<br/><br/>I don't often reread a book, but I think at some point, I will reread this one. Why 5 out of 5 stars?.....I will buy this book for my library, I will probably reread this book, I will recommend this book, and I will refer to this book often. I didn't cry at the end of the book because I was not alone when I finished it. If I had been alone when finishing it, I would have bawled my eyes out....no doubt.<br/><br/>I recommend this book for Grades 9 and up. There is mild language. There is sexual content, though not explicit.<br/><br/>""You don't get to choose if you get hurt in this world...but you do have some say in who hurts you. I like my choices.""<br/>' John Green, The Fault in Our Stars<br/><br/>Review can be found at What I Read Yesterday at [...]</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RV4F00HJ3244V?ASIN=014242417X	Heartwarming & Eventually Heartbreaking	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Although I wasn't very satisfied with a previous novel of John Green's, AN ABUNDANCE OF KATHERINES, his other books, LOOKING FOR ALASKA &amp; PAPER TOWNS, were phenomenal and are some of my all-time favorites. Like its aforementioned brethren, THE FAULT IN OUR STARS is a tearjerker, but also well worth reading because it exposes heavier subject matter we all tend to neglect in our everyday lives. What, exactly? Cancer.<br/><br/>I was introduced to TFIOS through one of my good friends in mid-February and, at first, was apprehensive about buying it on my kindle because (a.) I hadn't been satisfied with how AAofK ended, and (b.) I was leery towards any book that was labeled a ""cancer book"", thinking that I would barely be able to read through the first 50 pages without feeling too depressed and wanting to throw the book away.<br/><br/>Of course, I was wrong and had underestimated John Green's ability to weave such a hush-hushed topic into a story that could end up on the NYT Bestsellers List. As the book infamously states within its first few pages, ""Whenever you read a cancer booklet or website or whatever, they always list depression among the side effects of cancer. But, in fact, depression is not a side effect of cancer. Depression is a side effect of dying. (Cancer is also a side effect of dying. Almost everything is, really.)"". I was stunned at how the narrator, Hazel, was able to take her diagnosis so light-hearted it was almost like you weren't reading her story but you actually were her, living through the ups and downs, the trials and tribulations. Throughout the novel, I felt ""grand"", like I was ""on a roller coaster that only goes up"", pun intended; every chance I got to read, I did; whether in school or at home, I could simply not put the book down.<br/><br/>The main character, Hazel, is a sarcastic and lovable 16 year old girl who has overcome the impossible: stage IV thyroid cancer. Withdrawn from school at 13, her parents and an author who doesn't know she exists, Peter Van Houten, have become ""her best friends"". She dreads going to Support Group every Wednesday, a ""depressing as hell"" place where other cancer survivors talk about their struggles. Until she meets Augustus Waters, a fellow cancer survivor (osteosarcoma) who has a prosthetic leg, a limp, and smokes metaphorical cigarettes, which he explains as: ""You put the killing thing right between your teeth, but you don't give it the power to do its killing"".<br/><br/>Having found out that Hazel spent her One Wish on a trip to Disney Land, Augustus, having saved his, spurs a trip to Amsterdam and organizes a meeting with the author Peter Van Houten, whom Hazel is dying (figuratively) to meet so she can finally get answers to the ending of An Imperial Affliction, her favorite novel.<br/><br/>As it turns out, Peter Van Houten is a selfish alcoholic and no more help than how AIA ended - in the middle of a sentence. Furthermore, while on the trip, Hazel finds out that Augustus has gotten cancer again and that it's fatal. For the rest of the book, Hazel tries to deal with a dying Augustus and then a dead Augustus because, no matter what, ""That's the thing about pain...It demands to be felt"".<br/><br/>Heartwarming and eventually heartbreaking, THE FAULT IN OUR STARS is an amazing love story about growing up and moving on that you can read over and over and, unlike others, never get tired of it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1JD9TGHZ09Z6?ASIN=014242417X	A novel so real, it will make you cry	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars is not a ""cancer"" book. Yes, it features 16 year olds with cancer, but that is not what this book is essentially about. The topic of cancer is important in the sense that it was used to drive the story and its characters, and if anything, it only got us - as readers - more easily attached to them. It shaped the characters into who they are and what they become and it made us, the readers, more emotionally invested in them. You know what's going to happen from the very first page, but it is no less heartbreaking when it does.<br/><br/>Hazel is a 16 year old who loves reading, trashy TV, her family and ultimately Augustus. Hazel has terminal thyroid cancer which has taken over her lungs to the point where an oxygen tank becomes a permanent accessory. During one of the weekly cancer support groups, she meets Augustus - a 16 year old who has lost his leg in a battle with a malignant leg tumor. Together, these two characters had the most incredible blend of sarcastic wit and literary conversations that there was absolutely no getting away from it - I fell in love.<br/><br/>I knew I was going to have a major book crush on Augustus when he immediately, upon being introduced to Hazel, told her she was beautiful and looked like Nathalie Portman from V for Vendetta. That crush got bigger when he complained about the wrong use of the word ""literally"".<br/><br/>Death is a theme in this book, losing people you know or love, dealing with it then moving on. It makes you think about the courage it takes to move on after a parent loses his or her child, about the life you've spent, about how much you have left of it, about the value of living it to the fullest.<br/><br/>The characters were so real, as John Green usually makes them, that I had to put the book down several times and just breathe and remind myself that they weren't. And even though they might not be real, the situation definitely is. This book made me laugh, it made me think, and it made me cry in huge heaving sobs of despair and heartbreak. I knew what was going to happen, but it still shocked me to no end. It all felt so unfair, so unreal...I almost wanted to write Green an email ranting to him about his choice of plot twist.<br/><br/>When I finished the book - very late at night - I ""literally"" curled up in bed and sobbed into my pillow. I could relate to the heartbreak, because I have personally been through it.<br/><br/>Thank you John Green for being such a great writer. Thank you for giving us such great material to read and reminding us of the value of life in every book you write. I cannot recommend this book enough to people - and no, not only Young Adults fans.<br/><br/>I'm ending this with something a reviewer said that I could not agree with more, ""thank you, John Green, for ruining the next few books I read.""</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2P99IQPT6FVM3?ASIN=014242417X	Like Wasabi Chips for the satisfying characters and painful bite of cancer	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Cancer sucks.<br/>The world is not a wish-giving factory.<br/>Sometimes the most we can hope for is not to be an astronaut, or save people from fires, or writing amazing philosphical (Filosoofikal)books, but to be okay.<br/><br/>Hazel Grace and Augustus Waters both suffer/have suffered from Cancer. Cancer has changed and defined their lives so that who they were or who they could have been is almost obliterated.<br/><br/>Yet oxygen-tank-bound Hazel and leg/former basketball star life-missing Augustus find each other at a cancer support group and begin helping each other be okay.<br/><br/>They discuss poetry, and philosophy, and one, important book that Hazel has come to love. The book is about a girl with cancer and ends abruptly mid-sentence with no resolution for the characters. Augustus uses his one, Wish Foundation wish to wisk them to Amsterdam to confront the reclusive author so he can tell Hazel what happened to the ending. But the author isn't exactly what Hazel expected, and neither is the end result of the trip.<br/><br/>There's a lot to unpack in a John Green novel. Hazel and Augustus are wordly wise beyond their years, they drop quotes and heavy philosophy at the drop of a hat. And yet I don't care that they don't sound like true teenagers all the time. This story isn't about gritty realism (although boy did I learn a lot about different kinds of cancer and treatments and the effect of said treatments) but about search for meaning in the face of great pain and suffering.<br/><br/>For me, the conversations Hazel and Augustus have are ways for even non-cancer survivors to contextualize our place in a seemingly callous world. What conclusions you draw from these characters' journey isn't tainted by the fact that I have never known a teenager so erudite.<br/><br/>Definitely worth reading.<br/><br/>This Book's Snack Rating: Hawaiian Kettle Wasabi Chips for the satisfying crunch of interesting characters you care about with the painful bite of cancer and mortality that makes your eyes water even as you race to the end of the bag.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2Y6B31T60FSGF?ASIN=014242417X	My 1st John Green book!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Yes, this is*shamefully admitting* my FIRST book I've read by John Green. Alas I can say it most definitely won't be the last!<br/><br/>Finally I've read what everyone has been talking about. John Green's writing is awesome. Plus his vlog videos with his bro Hank are hilarious. Come on what's not to like?!?<br/><br/>THE FAULT IN OUR STARS...I seriously didn't cry! LIE! Well maybe a few tears. There are some truly sad things going on in this book but I don't think Hazel or Gus would have wanted us to have a cry fest over something that can't be changed. Green has done an amazing job building up these characters to be...like real people. I didn't see Hazel or Gus as being these fragile sick teens, only known for ""fighting a tough battle."" I saw them as people, living life as normal and as full as possible. They've really opened my eyes to everything. I'm grateful to have what I have.<br/><br/>TFiOS is also funny too, Hazel and Gus have such great personalities. They could make a funny situation out of anything. I would have loved to literally have them in my life. And Hazel, the way she stood up for herself...for some weird reason I never would have expected it. She's an honest, tough, smart chick. And Gus stole my heart with his wit and charm.<br/><br/>I really didn't want this book to end*which now I'm secretly hoping we'll meet these characters again in one form or another.* We all know how things just end...not in a way like Hazel's favorite book An Imperial Affliction. I'm just like Hazel I have some questions too, ones that really don't make sense but I want to know anyway.<br/><br/>TFiOS ""is not your average cancer book..."" Although I am glad it didn't end in mid sentence. Hazel tells her story with full honesty and I admire her for it. I laughed, cried, laughed again then cried some more. Seriously, it's amazing!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1XH7KV79LRQ59?ASIN=014242417X	The Infinitely Affecting Story of Hazel, Augustus and Side Effects Of Death	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">""Whenever you read a cancer booklet or website or whatever, they always list depression among the side effects of cancer. But, in fact, depression is not a side effect of cancer. Depression is a side effect of dying. (Cancer is also a side effect of dying. Almost everything is, really.)""<br/>-- a small slice of the affected wisdom of Hazel Grace, from The Fault In Our Stars by John Green.<br/><br/>Seemingly everybody, regardless of personal interest, occupation, social situation or general background, carries a list of books with such personal and cultural importance, resonance and transcendent ability to shape thoughts and ideas that may be dubbed as ""essential"". For many, such literary classics as Twain's The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Orwell's 1984 and Salinger's Catcher In the Rye are permanently engraved on this list. Perhaps, for others, Sendak's Where The Wild Things Are or Adams' The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy have mattered so much in the lives of their readers that they, too, are deemed essential. Regardless of exactly which books reside on these lists, what is truly important to highlight is how each and every one of these ""essential"" texts have been a transmutable participant in the journeys of the lives of countless individuals.<br/><br/>Which brings me to The Fault In Our Stars; John Green's sharply written, smartly balanced and, of course, essential tale centered around the ""epic love story"" of two teenager's suffering from the unfair, unpredictable and unrelenting human condition of dying from cancer.<br/><br/>For fans of Mr. Green's previous novels (Looking For Alaska, An Abundance Of Katherines and Paper Towns), the author's identifiable use of witty and pointed dialogue is utilized to great effect as he illustrates the stubborn strength in two individuals who refuse to be defined by their disease. Yet, while Hazel and Augustus are perceptively conscience of the strangeness of the lives, they sweetly cultivate and develop an intense and sagacious connection that is, altogether, distressingly endearing, deeply touching and genuinely heroic.<br/><br/>Stylistically, what Mr. Green surely excels at is never allowing the pulse of the narrative to get repetitive or predictable. Rather, the author is wonderful at unsettling the reader throughout at just the right moments. Just as he has in previous novels, Mr. Green utilizes a character revelation, from the perspective of the protagonist, to shift the paradigm and introduce a new sense of crisis and focus within the tightly directed narrative while still maintaining an honest sense of truth in the voice of the speaker.<br/><br/>Ultimately, Mr. Green possesses the enviable ability to articulate such a satiable level of understanding that unequivocally makes the journey of his stories an acutely unique experience. The Fault In Our Stars is a relentlessly engaging, humorous and affecting tale that will undoubtedly shape ideas, inspire action, influence personal conceptions and inevitably be called ""essential"".</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R89RPH38RP14?ASIN=014242417X	One of the Best Books I Have Read in Years	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">With such an amazing title and simple cover, I wasn't sure what to make of John Green's The Fault in Our Stars. What I uncovered was a book that I can't really explain with any great justice. It was a book that overwhelmed me with emotions and a book I simply could not put down. Quite simply, it was one of the best, if not the best book I have read in a long time.<br/><br/>Hazel has cancer. She can tell you more about the particulars, but basically she is cancer. She isn't fighting a battle with cancer, she is made of cancer and her cancer is made of her. She stopped going to school years ago and got her GED, but she goes to Community College, which is her only real interaction with people other than her parents. Her mother wants her to have a normal(ish) life, so she encourages (makes) Hazel go to a cancer support group. At the support group, Hazel watches a revolving door of cancer people come and go (and by go, she means ""from this earth""). What she didn't expect to happen on this particular day was that she would meet Augustus, a boy who lost his leg to cancer.<br/><br/>Augustus is that rare individual who transforms every life he touches, but he does so in such an unassuming way, you can't help but absolutely love him. As he and Hazel get to know each other, she reveals her favorite book. An Infinite Affliction is about a young girl dying of cancer, but it is real. It isn't the type of book to romanticize the disease or create martyrs of innocent children because of the disease, but instead it tells the truth of it all, scary parts, sad parts, horrible parts and all. And then it ends. mid-sentence, it just ends. Whether because the girl died or was too weak to continue, it just ends. Hazel shares this story with Augustus, and neither of them can stop thinking of what happened to the people the girl left behind. Hazel has tried to contact the author before, but she was never as determined or crafty as Augustus. With his ability to charm himself in or out of anything, Augustus finds the reclusive author and manages an invite to go to Amsterdam and meet him. Although Hazel spent her one Wish (the wish given to dying kids because adults can't bear to see them die) years ago when she thought she was dying, Augustus has never spent his, until now. Although the trip to Amsterdam is crazy, whimsical, and inherently dangerous for a girl whose lungs are intent upon drowning, they go on the adventure that will make their short lives full to the brim. It isn't exactly what you would expect, but it was a Wish that was granted in some strange and life-altering ways.<br/><br/>I am not sure how to describe this book because it really affected me in so many ways, so I will describe the emotions it made me experience. I was angry, so very angry. I was angry for Hazel and her swimming lungs, Augustus and the fact that cancer could hurt a boy who was so simply wonderful, for Isaac who lost both his eyes to cancer (and subsequently his girlfriend). I was heartbroken when Hazel worries that she is a ""grenade"" who will scatter shrapnel into everyone's lives she touches and scar them forever. I was happy, beyond happy, to watch Augustus take Hazel's life, much of which was filled with not living, but rather going through the motions, and make her live, love, hurt, breathe, and live again. I cried because of the poetic ending, and I laughed at Augustus' and his way of making you laugh even when you should be crying (or sobbing). But even now, I experience a feeling that doesn't really have a name. It is the feeling in your gut and in your throat you get when you remember a book or movie or song that has affected you so deeply, you want to pick it up and start all over again. It is the feeling that you get when you think about that book or movie or song that makes you smile and brings tears to your eyes at the same time.<br/><br/>I loved this book. I can't tell you enough just how much I loved this book. John Green is not only a master, but he is an author who has the ability to change your life. This is a sad book, as its premise clearly tells you, but it is beautiful and happy as well. Don't discount this book as depressing or ""too much"" for a student, because it isn't. Sometimes I am skeptical about giving a book with a premise such as this to a kid who has experienced loss or grief, but this book would actually help a child who has lived through such a tragedy. It doesn't romanticize the illness, it just tells it like it is. At one point Augustus talks about wanting to leave a legacy when he is gone and Hazel disagrees with him. She just wants to live, live normally. She doesn't need to shape the world, she just wants to make it to her next birthday (which her family counts in half birthdays because a year is too long to wait for). The candidness of this book will affect you deeply, I warn you, but you will be better for it. So give it to everyone who will read it, young adult, (not so young) adult, ill, not so ill, anyone who will read it. Why? Because when you read a book like The Fault in Our Stars, you have to share it.</span>"

There are no words to describe it. I knew I was going to love it, since John Green is one of my favorite authors, and everything about The Fault in Our Stars looked amazing, but wow. It exceeded my higher-than-high expectations. I don't even know what to say - nothing I could write could ever show how truly amazing this book is.<br/><br/>John Green's style is unique, so, so great. He conveys his awesome sense of humor in his writing - you can't not laugh at least once while reading a John Green book. His writing is serious, too, though, emotional, thought-provoking and just plain beautiful. This book is the perfect mixture between literary and entertaining - you want to read it as fast as possible to find out what happens; but at the same time, you want to savor every sentence and never let the book end. John Green can make you laugh, cry and think about the meaning of life all within one page.<br/><br/>Hazel is such a great MC. I was a little worried about John writing from a girl's POV for the first time, but it worked perfectly. Hazel's sense of humor and her way of thinking are unique and interesting. I loved her from the first page on.<br/><br/>And then there's Augustus. Oh, Augustus. Even his name is amazing. When I first read the name Augustus, I thought it was weird and kind of ugly, and now... Augustus Waters has to be the hottest name ever invented. And that's just his name - the actual person is even better. Augustus is unlike anyone I've ever read about - there's no way to describe him, he's just perfect - he's perfect without being perfect, which is the best kind of perfect. Hazel and Augustus are adorable together. The way they treat each other is so sweet, and their bantering is hilarious.<br/><br/>The plot is tragic - I cried loads while reading The Fault in Our Stars. But it's awesome and crazy and fun, too - I loved everything Hazel and Augustus do together, everything about An Imperial Affliction, just... everything.<br/><br/>I can't even think of anything more to say - The Fault in Our Stars is too perfect for me to adequately express my love for it. My favorite of John's Green books, by far. With quirky, unique and lovable characters, writing that is somehow hilarious, entertaining, literary, thought-provoking and emotional, all wrapped in one, The Fault in Our Stars is a beautiful portrayal of what it means to be alive. It makes me want to never read any other book, and just reread this one over and over again.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2I8EU78MN5MAT?ASIN=014242417X	Diary of a Bibliophile Review	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Ever since Will Grayson Will Grayson, I have been on a huge John Green kick.  Not only is he a humorous writer with a knack for creating great characters, but he is also a brilliant vlogger.  (Check him out on YouTube.)  Anyway, The Fault in Our Stars sounded like it was going to be a real tear-jerker...and there are some sad parts, but these characters do not want your pity.  This is no after school special and these kids are not perfect.  They don't want to be inducted into Sainthood on their death just because they had cancer.  This made them feel real and sympathetic in a way that characters in the Lifetime Movies never quite achieve.<br/><br/>The relationship between Hazel and Augustus is so much more than their illness.  There is a deep understanding between them that their non-cancer peers can never fully feel.  The few strained conversations Hazel has with her best-friend-who-really-isn't-anymore illustrate this so realistically. I imagine this is exactly how it would really be like.<br/><br/>One of my favorite parts of the book is how Hazel and Augustus bond over this novel about a teen with cancer which cuts off without an ending.  I know this book, The Imperial Affliction, does not exist, but I would love to read it!  John Green, if you are reading this, think you can write it????  Oh, who am I kidding...John Green is not reading my little bloggy thing.  *sigh*<br/><br/>The only thing that bothered me (and I mean slightly) was the characters were like these brilliant philosophical genius kids with vocabularies bigger than Thesauruses.  I'm not saying that smart teenagers are unrealistic, but the constant intellectual banter became a bit much in a few places.  Not enough to distract me from the story, but enough that I noticed a few times.<br/><br/>Overall, I give The Fault in Our Stars...<br/><br/>Plot - 5 bookmarks<br/>Character Development - 5 bookmarks<br/>Love Story - 5 bookmarks<br/>Dialog - 4 3/4 bookmarks (I only deduct a quarter of a point for the banter.)<br/>Dream Cast (otherwise known as who I pictured while reading) - Lily Collins (Hazel), Ed Speleers (Augustus), Rory Culkin (Isaac)</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3059R7Z8F4LVN?ASIN=014242417X	RAW, RIGHT ON THE MARK AND HEARTBREAKING	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is not for everyone. But for those who can handle the stark reality of Cancer it is a must read. It is amazingly written and insightful. You will be laughing, crying, fearing,angry,hoping and every emotion in between. It takes on a subject that most ""Adults"" can't handle so ""hurray"" for the author who realizes that ""young adults"" are not only smart but dealing with life issues everyday. Let's stop writing crap for them and give them what they deserve.<br/><br/>I have a lot of experience with cancer. My Mother, Sister and Father died from it and I have also gone through it. The indignity of disease is obvious to all but the dignity of the fighter, whether one lives or dies is not so obvious. FEAR made it incrediblely awful for my family members. Not wanting to know, denial, inability to ask for help and with help comes some of the dignity that is missing from our characters at times. Where is hospice? I read about the meds but not about any help outside of the family. When I was told I had lung cancer I faced it head on and check out all the info, reading a survival rate of 14% was not easy but then I thought about it and decided I would be one of the 14 out of 100 who survived. Its a choice. It's always a choice. Whether I lived or died I wasn't going down without a fight!<br/><br/>Augustus speaks about the Great ""S"", that something in the universe that gives us hope in a hereafter. I decided that it's a 50-50 shot that there's Something else. So why not believe in Something. I have never seen an atheist who handles death well, but I see people who are spiritual tackle incredible obstacles well. Life can be tough and great and most of the time boring but I'm a fan as are both the main characters. I don't think anyone gives it up easily and that's because in the end life is awesome and death definitely seems to suck.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RJRL33Z434DMD?ASIN=014242417X	Fantastic book!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I find it very rare when a book strikes an emotional chord with me. I'm not one to cry at sappy romances or when a character I love dies. Actually, I've never felt like crying over any book before. But The Fault in Our Star was brimming heart wrenching emotion, and I found myself beautifully heartbroken for the characters.<br/><br/>Hazel is a seventeen year old girl living in the aftermath of a long, hard battle with thyroid cancer. After a seemingly ""miracle"" drug helps get Hazel's cancer under control, she still has to live with her faulty lungs and carrying an oxygen tank with her where ever she goes.<br/><br/>When her parents think that Hazel is sinking into a lonely depression, they make her go to a cancer support meeting in the ""literal heart of Jesus"" where she can talk and cope with her disease with fellow teenagers that share her pain. There she meets Augustus Waters, a one legging cancer survivor who impresses Hazel with his bookish smarts and quirky attitude. A relationship doomed from the start, Augustus and Hazel set out to find the answers to some important questions about life, and coming to terms with the fact that we all must die.<br/><br/>Though this book is about cancer and death, and might be assumed to be a sad and depressing read, that is simply not so. Despite the grim circumstances these characters are in, this book is actually brimming with life and humor.  John Green does a fantastic job of making the characters come alive, and not making you feel sad for Hazel and Augustus, but rather proud of the life they choose to live.<br/><br/>For the most part, I thought this book was fantastic. There were a few little holes that keep me from calling it a favorite, and for the sake of being spoiler free I won't go into details.<br/><br/>This book lives up to all the praise and hype it has received. I recommend it to those who love a good contemporary YA novel full of dry humor and lovable characters. The Fault In Our Stars is worth your time and money.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R37ZN69VL739DL?ASIN=014242417X	Ignore the YA label. This is one for all ages.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">NO SPOILERS<br/><br/>It is hard to believe this novel is fiction. I was stunned at the realism of this novel and pulled in by how genuine the characters are and how much depth Green offered in what is a fairly simple story. If you are looking for high action and theatrics, this book has none. If you are looking for a real and ""human"" story, do not pass this one by. It is for both a younger and older (as I am) audience.<br/><br/>First, do not assume this novel will be a downer since it is based on kids battling cancer. Yes, this is the backbone of the storyline; however, there's more to it than that. There are moments that will certainly provoke tears, but it is also laced with humor. Perhaps this is one thing the novel teaches us: humor is essential to our health and well-being. It is also a beautiful story of empathy and compassion. It reminds me of Atticus in To Kill a Mockingbird when he says, ""You never truly understand a person until you walk around in their skin."" The characters in this novel had their assumptions challenged and learned of the interconnectedness of human nature.<br/><br/>The novel is also an intelligent one. There are many allusions to other literary works (besides the one in the title) that enhance reader enjoyment and understanding of the characters. Even if you don't know what he's referencing, you can understand why Green included particular literary tidbits in the story.<br/><br/>What is most refreshing is the sincerity and realism of the characters. Many YA novelists don't really know how young people think, behave, and talk and will slather on the, ""Like, OMG, no way"" or emo attitude as a means of capturing ""true"" adolescent behavior, which incorrectly over-generalizes teens as flakey and moody. Green's young characters are realistic. They have their occasional OMG and eyeball rolling moments, but, as a high school teacher, I can say that they are truly an accurate portrayal of their age group: sarcastic, sweet, sometimes selfish, intelligent, full of bravado and vulnerability among other traits. As a parent, I could also identify with the parents in the novel who simply needed to hover around their children watching terrible TV shows just for the mere pleasure of soaking up every available moment with them.<br/><br/>Green covers so much ground in the book: love, loss, mortality, family, friendship, survival, dignity, and memory. It is a wothwhile read.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R39MXF0RIBBJT7?ASIN=014242417X	John Green shatters expectations with this novel	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I confess that I spent the last hundred or so pages of THE FAULT IN OUR STARS crying nearly nonstop. I'm hesitant to admit that, because it makes the novel sound sad, like a ""cancer book."" And as narrator Hazel would say, ""cancer books suck.""<br/><br/>I wouldn't want to give the wrong impression of the book --- Hazel surely wouldn't want me to --- so let me assure you that although the novel is, at times, almost desperately sad (rightly so, I would say, given its subject matter), it's also lovely and hopeful and extremely funny. The reason I was crying nearly nonstop, after all, is that I had to pause my tears every now and then to laugh aloud.<br/><br/>Even if this is emphatically not a cancer book (or at least not one of those cancer books), the specter of cancer haunts each of these characters' lives. As one puts it, ""What am I at war with? My cancer. And what is my cancer? My cancer is me. The tumors are made of me. They're made of me as surely as my brain and my heart are made of me. It is a civil war...with a predetermined winner.""<br/><br/>Hazel, for one, sees herself in some ways as living on borrowed time, ever since the Miracle, when she barely survived a cancer crisis and continued to live with the help of drugs and her ever-present oxygen tank. Her friend Isaac, who has already lost one eye to cancer and is in danger of losing the other, is engulfed in fear and anger over everything he's already lost and all he still has to survive.<br/><br/>And then there's Augustus Waters, the boy Hazel starts to fall for in spite of herself, in spite of her heartfelt desire not to hurt anyone else the way she knows she'll destroy her parents when she dies. She keeps her distance from Augustus at first, or tries to, but Augustus --- with his endlessly questioning nature, his smart-aleck comments and fondness for metaphor, his muscular arms and amputated leg, his desire to make a mark on the world in as much time as he has allotted to him --- is able to find a way through Hazel's defenses. ""Augustus Waters read to me while Mom, making lunch, listened in.... As he read, I fell in love with the way you fall asleep: slowly, and then all at once.""<br/><br/>Hazel and Augustus are nearly perfect together; like many John Green characters, they are nearly impossibly perceptive and witty, like the kinds of smart kids no one actually knew in high school but everyone wishes they did. In a typical cancer book, their insight and unvarnished way of looking at the world would be a noble side effect of cancer; in THE FAULT IN OUR STARS, though, it's just part of who they are. Part of the novel's heartbreak is that readers will find themselves wishing for more time --- for Hazel and Augustus, with Hazel and Augustus --- just as the characters themselves do.<br/><br/>John Green shatters expectations with this novel, turning assumptions about ""tragic"" books --- perhaps even about the idea of tragedy itself --- on their heads. THE FAULT IN OUR STARS is painfully sad, for sure, and it pulls no punches in its often gruesome depictions of late-stage cancer. At some points, readers may even wonder why, if pain and love are so intertwined, we should bother falling in love at all. But, in true John Green fashion, even that question is answered, right at the book's close, in a character's own words that are tender and wise, hopeful and true, just like the novel itself.<br/><br/>Reviewed by Norah Piehl</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2V3V41B3TBP01?ASIN=014242417X	Thought-Provoking But A Bit Disappointing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I had a really hard time trying to figure out what to say about this book, and how to rate it. First, I'd like to start with the fact that I did like this book, but that I was also a bit disappointed by it, especially after all the hype it received.<br/><br/>I liked this book for a few reasons. The characters were wonderful and so lifelike (I absolutely loved Augustus; he is now one of my favorite male characters) that I felt like they were real people, though definitely a bit different than most of your ""normal"" teens -- the author explored the idea that they were different in a unique way, and I think he managed to capture that part in all of us that feels strange and unworthy when compared to others, and that hates that difference. The characters grew throughout the novel, and their romance was sweet and slow and thoughtful. I also liked how the characters were honest with one another and their peers/parents, and how the emotions were raw and realistic for the situation.<br/><br/>I liked how the book was about a girl with an illness, but how it was also about so much more. It started off focusing on her cancer, and as time went on, it didn't shy away from it, but more aspects of her life -- and what would happen after she eventually died -- came to life as the story went on. It was a very honest approach that was really nice to read, though it was also heartbreaking at times.<br/><br/>There were a few things that I didn't like about this book. One was the writing style. The characters were intelligent, but half of the time, they didn't speak like it. They would transition from talking like a well-educated adult to talking like an average teen, and though it kept the story honest, because the characters are teenagers, it also threw my reading off, because it didn't seem to fit with the rest of what they were saying.<br/><br/>Another con was the way that the book was presented in some circumstances. This is definitely a book that will make you think, but half of the time I didn't feel like it showed you the whole picture -- or what the whole picture could be -- and quite a few of the reflections were a bit morbid.<br/><br/>My last con was the ending. It was very abrupt, and for me, it didn't seem like the book had really ended. I'm not sure if the author did this on purpose (SPOILER: in the book, the main character's favorite-ish author ended his book, her favorite, abruptly to prove a point), but I felt like the real ending was missing, and was a bit disappointed that the book didn't go on a little bit further.<br/>All in all, this was an enjoyable book, though it was definitely a sad one. It made me think, and I really liked the characters, but I wouldn't recommend it for those who like lighter, happier (or even uplifting) stories. I would place it in the older teen category, and as far as content, there was some cursing, a (very) mild sexual scene, and some sexual and a bit of alcohol reference.<br/><br/>I give this novel four of five stars, for a thought-provoking, original story that is heartbreakingly honest.<br/><br/>Alexandra Lanc~<br/>Author of The Foxfire Chronicles</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This was a good book, but I think my problem is that I read it after all the hype and I was always waiting for it to become out of this world and for me it just wasn't.

My book club had picked it so I bought it on my Kindle. Yes, it was sad in places, but it was so much more! It was funny, interesting, and very powerful. Everyone should read this book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R30CHFG7OGCAV?ASIN=014242417X	The best book in the world!!!!!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was so amazing. I almost cried after I found out Gus had died. It was sad how Hazel had fallen in love but couldn't keep it. She lost the only person she had ever loved.

I laughed, I cried.  As a thyroid cancer survivor of only a year, this was painful to read because I still fear recurrence.  But also I feel hope.  This was also beautiful in its honesty. Cancer stinks.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R23X1K6QD1P7Z1?ASIN=014242417X	It's okay	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The storyline is moving, but many parts were slow. Not usually my type of read, but the upcoming release of the movie peaked my interest.

3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1TXW3GS44PX3W?ASIN=014242417X	John Green has a young modern voice.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is a story of two characters that try to allow their personalities remain intact while they are under siege in the war against cancer.

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1UJOD8C9T8WGQ?ASIN=014242417X	heartbreaking but lovely	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is a rough read. A beautiful but tragic love story. Too depressing for my taste but the writing is magnificent I'm curious to see how it translates to film.

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RX6KHPS32PYDF?ASIN=014242417X	Okay	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Cute, over-dramatic, young adult love story that just happens to have cancer ridden main characters. A lot of hype for a mediocre novel, I enjoyed it for what it is but it's not earth-shatteringly great. If you're looking for an OKAY, quick read or are a 16 year old girl, you'll like it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1DSQ2SDA372C6?ASIN=014242417X	Gripping	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I generally stay away from depressing books and you would think a book about teens with cancer would fall into a dark and sad story. But the characters are so real and intelligent and honest and slightly cynical. I loved this book- one of my new favorites. It made me laugh more than cry.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1TWWG06C4W6CR?ASIN=014242417X	Ultra-intelligent cancer teens?	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">How do I rate this? I'm torn, actually - whether to like it or not.<br/><br/>The plot is a good one; it's sad. How else to feel for two teenagers in love, but with the reality of dying staring them straight in the face?<br/><br/>But then there is the portrayal of the teens as the ultra-intellectual types. Reading through the book, that nagging thought behind my head rationalizing their intelligence wouldn't stop. Maybe they're really both intelligent children to start with... Maybe with all the reading they've been doing, they got so philosophical.... Maybe they really have such a vast vocabulary (harmatia?).... Maybe... This is what I couldn't get my head around to. Cancer or no cancer, I just couldn't picture such teens, but then I may be wrong. But then again, my son is 22 (he was a teen a few years back); my daughter is 19. They have good heads, but they don't talk the way Hazel and Gus did.<br/><br/>Hazel and Gus met at a support group for young cancer patients. They fell in love, they made the most of their precious time. In the end, the reality of their ailments still faced them.<br/><br/>As I said, it's a good story; I didn't cry though, which is a surprise even to myself. Maybe if Gus and Hazel were more down to earth, I would have shed some tears.<br/><br/>So, do I like it or not? I don't.</span>"

The narrator gets it so right.  The story itself captures so perfectly the sarcastic angst of teenage-dom.  The narrator captures each character so completely as she changes intonations and delivery.  This is a great book, and a great audio book.</span>"

This is a book about kids with cancer, so it's awful. But the author did a beautiful job of showing the raw feelings and emotion these kids must feel. It is quite deep, actually.

Everyone said it was a heartbreaker but it was much more than that. It was a realistic love story. And any book that can make you feel different emotions is a good one. This was an excellent one.</span>"

But it was written in such an intelligent way that makes it seem a touch more realistic than the normal rom coms.  Not the whole going to Amsterdam thing but how the young couple falls in love and then how it ends.  I loved this book!</span>"

You are missing out by not reading it. I laughed, I cried, I realized how wonderful love is, all over again. I hugged my boyfriend for like 20 minutes without explanation.

The characters were believable. The ending was a bit of a let down, not because of what happened. It left me with a bit of a hopeless feeling.

You remember why we are here and where we belong. To be ourselves without being others. Hazel showed me these things by being herself.

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2L4FPQRJZZL6X?ASIN=014242417X	five  stars !!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book ruined me. For days i couldn't even open another book!!! One review said it wasnt believable because normal teenagers aren't that developed. Well, normal teenagers aren't battling cancer knowing they will lose. I loved everything about this book. Highly highly recommend.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1PCUI0FHIBF5V?ASIN=014242417X	Well written	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The thought of reading a book about kids with cancer is depressing before you even open the cover but this book was very different.  The perspective from which it was written was excellent and you feel as though you really know these kids.  I would read this again, just wonderful!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1LO133S7VTAS3?ASIN=014242417X	I don't read books. I read this. And loved it.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">John Green is an author I previously only knew from the YouTube machine, and I couldn't be happier that his fanbase pushed me to buy this book to try it out. Read it in just a few days - I don't normally like non-comedy books, yet he managed to keep me engaged for the entire book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3VJUMOLRYK04B?ASIN=014242417X	Read it. Over and over.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book made me cry. Like, the kind where I couldn't stop and it was endless and I felt almost physically damaged by the novel.<br/><br/>So, yeah, it's not exactly beach reading.<br/><br/>But what makes this book so much more important than just an ordinary ""kids with cancer"" book is that it's funny. It's funny and witty and the voice of the narrator, Hazel, is so incredibly unique and often just so blunt. She's the kind of person you want to be best friends with and Augustus Waters, her love interest, is the kind of boy you want to marry.<br/><br/>To write a brief summary, Hazel is a teenager diagnosed with an incurable cancer that she will most likely die from one day pretty soon. The only thing keeping her alive is a ""miracle"" drug that doesn't allow her tumors to grow any larger but doesn't exactly shrink them either. When forced to attend a cancer support group meeting, she sees Augustus Water, who is in remission from osteosarcoma and is only there to support his friend Isaac. They meet, fall in love, and it is indescribably beautiful.<br/><br/>This book is important in that it can help anyone, including those not facing a serious illness, confront the inevitability of the end of their own existence. That there will be a time when no one remembers you. Hazel and Augustus have conflicting views on this subject and it makes for an interesting and insightful peek into the thought processes of those who deal with the thought of death almost always.<br/><br/>It's the kind of novel you can fall in love with. It's well worth the read and is proof that John Green truly is one of the best authors writing today, young adult or not.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RQADRM0ZL3S1B?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in Our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault In Our Stars by John Green is a cleverly written, astonishingly touching, yet witty novel. Green's story features the life of several characters and how it is affected by Cancer. When writing about such an emotive subject as Cancer in teenagers it would be easy to fill a book with stereotypes and clichés. However, Green's work is much more than a book about Cancer.<br/> Green's novel is from 16 year old Hazel Grace Lancaster's point of view, a girl who has terminal lung cancer. She has an oxygen tank attached to her nose because in Hazels' words ""My lungs suck at being lungs"". Her life changes dramatically when she attends a Cancer support group and encounters Augustus Waters. As these two grow closer, their witty and thought-provoking conversations serve to lighten the mood of a novel surrounding a rather serious topic. They ask the questions that relate to the reader: Will I be loved? Will I be remembered? Will I leave a mark?<br/> The author's writing style has the ability to handle the pace of the novel appropriately and create characters with a voice that will touch the reader. Furthermore, Green makes The Fault In Our Stars an enjoyable read as he bases Hazel's journey not on the acceptance of death but on the acceptance of life. How life is not always fair, but life just is. The Fault In Our Stars is not a depressing read and it is not an uplifting novel either. It is simply a truthful depiction of love, loss, and the life of a young girl who has cancer.<br/> The Fault In Our Stars is an insightful and moving novel that will leave the reader with a lump in the throat, but with a more optimistic understanding of life.</span>"

It's well written with a nicely paced story, but not fabulous.  The 'twist' ending was obvious from the start.  And the characters are a little hard to relate to, at least to this adult.

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R386UOAZ7OCH00?ASIN=014242417X	First time John Green reader now a fan!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is my first John Green book and if the others are as good as this one, and I suspect they might be, then the wild popularity and best-selling status is much deserved. The ability to write a story centered around teenagers who have cancer, one being undeniably terminal, and not allowing the reader to feel bad for them is a rare talent.<br/><br/>Death and dying is such an uncomfortable topic for most people that they usually can only deal with it in platitudes. One of my favorite parts are the expressions all over Augustus's house (home is where the heart is and such.) It seems so lacking in light of the real life drama that Hazel and Augustus are living with.<br/><br/>The Fault Of Our Stars is filled with characters that feel very real. The dialogue throughout was perfect, witty and quick. The kind of conversations you remember from your teenage years when you could talk on the phone for hours. I loved that the characters themselves deconstruct death in such a way that the reader is left knowing the hole left is with the living. Referring to the dying as a grenade which wreaks havoc on the survivors is such an interesting way to think about it.<br/><br/>The love story was beautiful without being cheesy. It is nice to read a Young Adult novel where the characters themselves are not so overly dramatic as to make their romance more akin to that of a harlequin novel (I'm looking at you Twilight.)<br/><br/>I loved everything about The Fault In Our Stars, especially the ending. It was perfect without wrapping the story in a neat bow. It is sad, but you can believe that the characters are all the better having known each other.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1QMKUD8C6XBDL?ASIN=014242417X	Best book that I have read in a while	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Hazel is the best charecter that has ever lived inside a book.

2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RU6P4Y245G362?ASIN=014242417X	Review	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read the book due to reviews and things on pintrest. I had trouble getting into it and I was probably six chapters in before  I felt engulfed. It is a good book and a pretty quick read. I can easily see why women love Augustus but I am not certain of my feelings towards Hazel.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R33HC6LOVR5WJX?ASIN=014242417X	wow what a spectacular book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The characters are so richly, deliciously developed, and with the grace you feel you know each of them!<br/>So well written.

3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2DL9QMRUUZJUV?ASIN=014242417X	Loved this book!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is my all time favourite book! I have recommended it to all my friends and they will agree with me that it is amazing. I found it equally sad and happy.  actually that's a lie.  it is mostly sad but it teaches you many life lessons and is one of those books you have to read</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RURE8ZXJGDM25?ASIN=014242417X	Great book!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Have a box of tissues handy...this one will make you cry. But it is equal parts sweet, frank, powerful and sensitive and at times...a lot of time irreverent and blunt all rolled into one. John Green has written characters that you come to love and care about. Well worth reading!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3HZBSSJ9VY1DD?ASIN=014242417X	Great read!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Great book. It was raw, emotional, and it really gave a good representation of cancer, love, and human emotions. I felt a connection with these characters that I have never felt with any characters of any other book; they felt like family. I can't wait to read more of his stuff!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2RYDP2DIZRK00?ASIN=014242417X	It was okay, but I don't get all of the hype.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I enjoyed the book. It was an easy read, but much too cliche and corny for my taste. I didn't like the way that Hazel and Augustus met. It was corn right off the cob. And from the very beginning I knew one of them was going to die at the end. It was too predictable for my taste.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3JZ26N4E3V950?ASIN=014242417X	Fault in Our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Good read - encouraging and depressing all at the same time. These illness occur in life and it is interesting how these teens handled their illness and their optimistic outlooks.  The trip to Amsterdam was amazing.  Good to know people with disabilities can follow their dreams.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1KGTB6RG240QO?ASIN=014242417X	Awesome	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Yes, this book is exactly how great everyone says it is. Even though most people do not find themselves in Hazel's situation, her character is strangely relatable. In addition, John Green's writing is excellent and he knows exactly how to pull the reader into the story. Love it.</span>"

Initially felt it might be too sad but then once I started reading I could not put it down. It provides insight on emotions many of us take for granted. I enjoyed the book thoroughly!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R5X5GEME40A7Z?ASIN=014242417X	I could not put this book down.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I started reading The Fault In Our Stars based on a friend's recommendation thinking it would be a quick read. Well , it was quick, because I couldn't put it down. It is smart, real, and, at times, laugh-out-loud funny.  I fell in love with the characters. I highly recommend it.</span>"

But thankfully (thankfully) I was sick today and just received an e-reader for Christmas, so it was a great way to spend the day in bed.

With just finishing the book a few short minutes ago, I'm speechless. TFiOS was funny, emotional, heart breaking and beautifully written. John Green, has written a remarkable book, he's definitely a new favorite author of mine and I will be looking out for more of his work.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R225VQ02OU3DJD?ASIN=014242417X	TFIOS FTW	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This story can elicit chills out of even the most hard-hearted of people. I definitely recommend it to everyone--young adults, children, and adults. This is a timeless story, and it has universal concepts. You see, the thing about pain? It needs to be felt.<br/>Okay?<br/>Okay.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1QY31O7VXEIOH?ASIN=014242417X	WOW	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I haven't read novels in a ling time and I kinda stumbled into this one- Thank goodness I did. Green does an unreal job of creating characters, of exploring the nuances of human thought and emotions, all while dealing with the uncomfortableness of the C word. Truly worth a read!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R366BZBH60EU86?ASIN=014242417X	"Like ""Juno"" with cancer"	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">My friend described this best when she said it was like the movie, ""Juno,"" but instead of being pregnant, she has cancer.  This book takes something really dramatic and respectfully adds just the right amount of humor to create a great story.  Quick read and really good!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R28K8UYCF6I0OK?ASIN=014242417X	Sick Indeed	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">For being fiction this sure is a downer.  As if life wasn't sad enough without trying to make dying kids look like entertainment.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3MM51M2NJMDB7?ASIN=014242417X	It made me cry like a baby!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">When you decide to read this book you know you are going to be in for a good cry at some point of the story, but you don't expect the amount of humor and the realness of how the characters face their illness. This isn't your typical star crossed lovers/ sob story about a girl who has cancer and meets a boy, it is far more layered and profound than that.<br/><br/>John Green is an amazing writer and this book is proof of his level of insight and the wittiness of his thoughts. I think you have to be very brave in order to write about the subject of cancer in such a realistic way! I've read my fair share of novels about people fighting cancer/ living with cancer, and for some reason most of those books tend to feel corny and unrealistic, maybe because their fight is a little idealized and clean. TFIOS doesn't hold anything back in terms of how people deal with terminal illness taking into account how dealing with death from an early aged changes and forces you to become more mature mixed with the typical thoughts and anxieties of the normal teenager.<br/><br/>I really loved this book and recommend that you read with a box of tissues near by if you are as sensitive as I am about the fates of characters. This book will not only make you cry, it will also make you laugh.... You may even choke out a few laugh's in some of the most morose parts due to the spectacular wittiness of Hazel, Augustus and Issac!<br/>I guess Dumbledore is always right and his advice can be applied in every literary reality and in the real world too: ""happiness can be found in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light""<br/>DFTBA</span>"
1.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R7MWVMUBT3HP1?ASIN=014242417X	Will make you cry	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Remember when Titanic was the saddest movie you'd ever see? And when Anne Frank's story was the bravest you'll know? Replace both of those with the modern day John Green novel, The Fault in Our Stars. Saddest and most heartbreaking story you'll know, I bet you 10 bucks on that.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2F61ATP8V26EA?ASIN=014242417X	Emotional Rollercoaster	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is by far one of my favorite books. The characters are easy to connect with (in spite of the fact that I don't have cancer). John Green created a whole new universe for us to be transported into and live Hazel's story. I highly recommended this to all, truly a work of art.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1R6YOSDQL2V5H?ASIN=014242417X	An interesting take on life's meaning	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Good book that makes one consider the brevity and unfairness this life can entail, yet how each life has the capacity for richness.

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1KTU8MQELCE4W?ASIN=014242417X	No fault in this book!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I gave the book a 4* rating as the ending could have answered some questions; such as, does Hazel get a miracle cure and live to fall in love again? Does she die?  Do her parents divorce if she dies.<br/>I would recommend this book to anyone who is wondering what true love us.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R78S2DTZ1EE33?ASIN=014242417X	Excellent book  with great characters.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Excellent book  which was well written with great characters.  Even though the subject matter was very serious, it was not a grim book.  It was hard to put down as the two main characters were easy to like and it was so easy to get invested in their story.

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This was a departure from my usual read, but I find it incredibly difficult to see a movie without first reading the book.

This book has portrayed unfair perfectly in my opinion. No, I do not know what it is like to battle cancer, or lose the love of my life: I have not found that person yet. But if I were to have had these experiences, this would portray it to a T.<br/>-An impressed girl.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3SZU4VVSGRTGT?ASIN=014242417X	Teen word choice	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I love this book! So why three stars? The fault comes not in the story line, not in the characters, not in the tears I shed for them (and I did) but in the lofty vocabulary of the teens. Unrealistic even for those who thirst for knowledge and face the impending tragedy of life.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1A74B5J7H9S5Z?ASIN=014242417X	The fault in my understanding	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Maybe it's just me but I couldn't help comparing Augustus to Alaska.

And even though I say all of this I read the whole book pretty quick, so it had my attention.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1X0NG5V6EAZA0?ASIN=014242417X	Okay	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Started the book and was was immediately encompassed in Hazel and Gus' world.

3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RMSZBX80SFGWA?ASIN=014242417X	My Favorite Book Of All Time!!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I am a mature 14 year old girl who constantly reads, and never has a book had such an effect on my life.  I can confidently say that this book has changed my life in a positive way!  I strongly recommend this book for teenagers and even parents.  Never have I read a book by an adult who has perfectly matched the mindset of a teenager as John Green has.<br/><br/>I have become so obsessed by this book that after I finished it the 1st time, I started it over and read it a 2nd time.  And then a 3rd time.  I cried several times wile reading the book but it was worth every tear, and every person I know who likes to read, I recommend this book to, begging that they will take the time to read this incredible book.  You become so engrossed with the charaters` lives and you immediately fall in love with them.<br/><br/>Now, for the summary.  Your narrator, Hazel Grace Lancaster, is a hilariously sarcastic 16 year old with terminal thyroid cancer and tumors in her lungs.  She must carry an oxygen tank with her because of her troubled breathing.  She has beome obsessed with the book ""An Imperial Infliction"" by Peter Van Houten, and shares her love with a boy she met in a Support Group: Augustus Waters.  Augustus Waters (aka Gus) is 17 and has osteosarcoma, so his life is not predetermined: he must live with uncertainty.  Most of you will be able to put 2 and 2 together and figure out that they fall in love, but that`s all I will tell you.<br/><br/>I beg of you to read this book because I have becomed obsessed the way Hazel is obsessed with ""An Imperial Affliction"" and I wish for someone else to share in my joy!</span>"

Amazing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Title: The Fault in Our Stars<br/>Author: John Green<br/>Publisher: Dutton Juvenile<br/>Publication Date: January 10, 2012<br/>Source: The Library<br/><br/>Genre: A Cancer YA Contemporary Romance that isn't a cancer story (i.e. isn't just about the main characters having cancer). Hint: DON'T shy away from this because of the cancer element. I almost did, and that would have been a HUGE mistake.<br/><br/>Cover: It's okay. I wasn't as impressed with it at first, but I can't really think of anything that would work better--&gt; and so by that reasoning, it's successful. I like the color choices.<br/><br/>Plot: It may feel oh-so-slightly slow moving at the beginning, but it's necessary, and the payoff is worth it. This book is kind of amazing, and it is definitely awesome possum. The trouble with reviewing it? I don't want to give anything away. I'm not going to rob you of its greatness. Just know, it really starts to move, and you get super invested in the characters, whether or not you realize it.<br/><br/>Romantic Element: LOVE. I am officially fictionally in love with Augustus Waters. Note: I didn't even have to Google his last name. I knew it. Why? Because I. Am. In. Love. How often have you heard me say that here? Not very, that's for true.<br/><br/>Overall: Genius. Love. Hearts and hearts and hearts. I made people read it so that I could talk to them about it. I reacted like I haven't reacted to a book in my recollection. I didn't think I was a John Green reader. I had tried and failed to read his stuff before (not his fault. circumstances outside of my control usually---like due dates), but this one stuck, and I am SO glad it did.<br/><br/>*Review courtesy of [...]</span>"

One is that it is sentimental schlock written for those of a romantic teen age mindset. On the other hand even if the plot is nigh unbelievable and unrealistic there are some interesting passages.

The end was not as one expected but part of it was rewarding in that the kids got some closure as they had wanted from the beginning.  It was not gruesome or depressing.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R35H76525AT9KP?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in Our Stars... makes me realize my own	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">There aren't many books that can make me both laugh and cry, and this one did both in droves. I don't need to rehash the synopsis, and ruin it with spoilers like so many fans love to do. All I can speak on is the enjoyment and sadness I had while reading The Fault in Our Stars.<br/><br/>Hazel Grace and Augustus Waters are two of the funniest, bravest, and most heart warming characters I've come across in quite some time. They make you aware of your own mortality, your own misgivings, your own successes and failures, and make you want to make the Universe notice you and let the Universe know you notice it, as would make Hazel Grace proud.<br/><br/>I have been sitting on my own YA novel, half finished for years. Readers rarely understand that when you make a character laugh, you laugh with them. When you make them cry, you cry with them. When you make them lose someone, or even kill off a character... It is a very real experience to the writer. Maybe I felt this more strongly as a writer, and this is why I want to finish my novel I mentioned. But, either way, I felt the pain the characters felt. I laughed with them. I cheered for them. I wanted to console them when the times were hard. John Green made me care for characters in a way that I rarely do if the characters are not my own.<br/><br/>In my opinion, that's a job well done.<br/><br/>Also, I want to say that Kate Rudd, who narrated the book in the audiobook version as Hazel Grace, did an amazing job. I listen to audiobooks every single day, and she is the first that I had to befriend on Facebook just so I could keep informed on what she might read next.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2VWD5I6NHLD5O?ASIN=014242417X	Incredible and Profound, What a Good Book Should Be	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I am an avid reader; and I don't like fiction very much. I especially don't like YA fiction, as a nineteen year old I find it overdramatic and riddled with touchy subjects that seem too farfetched for a teenage story. I was reluctant to read this book due to it's YA status, but I decided to anyways and if I didn't like it, I'd remember it fondly as another bad book in my long list.<br/><br/>This book exceeded all of my expectations about YA fiction, romance novels, tragedy, and morality. I couldn't put it down; I read it in less than three days. I have never read something so profound in my life - and a YA novel about teenagers with cancer, for God's sake! The language and substance makes this book something other than a ""tragic love story"" - the semantics make it a rich moral conversation that you have with the characters as well as yourself.<br/><br/>John Green manages to put some of life's greatest questions in the hands of two terminally ill teenagers, and they handle it with such grace and control that you admire them. Not for their condition as cancers kids who have to ""be strong,"" but for their superior intelligence and grasp on reality. You contemplate questions you've never even dreamed of.<br/><br/>You will laugh at the biting wit of the terminally kids who joke about their illness. You will cry at the loss and the intense passion of the central love story. You will be left with two questions - why did the novel have to end, and how can I get everyone I know to read this book? Trust me, the latter is easy. The former, is one for intense critical evaluation. Perhaps another round of ""The Fault in Our Stars"" will do the trick.</span>"

2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RXIUA9S4LQBXP?ASIN=014242417X	A very moving story...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">While I wasn't blown away by this one as so many other were, I did really enjoy it. I read it through in three sessions, interrupted only by sleep and classes. I didn't cry which probably makes me a horrible person, especially since I'm a total cry baby, but I was stilled moved by Hazel and Augustus' story. The Fault in Our Stars deals with a very tough, sad subject, but overall it didn't feel sad. There were some very sad parts, hence the expectation to cry, but there's the theme of hope weaved throughout the whole story.<br/><br/>I've noticed that all of John Green's main characters seem to be quite pretentious. Hazel is no exception, but I like that. She may be dying of cancer, but she still displays humor, cynicism, brains, and caring. She even falls into some of those stereotypes of how people treat cancer patients, which she hates. I absolutely loved Augustus from the moment we met him! He's hilarious and sweet and just completely loveable.<br/><br/>The one thing I did not like about this book was the whole Peter Von Houten plot. He played an important role in the story, but at the end I found his actions very unbelievable and just irritating. I know a lot of the plot couldn't have happened without him, but I still just didn't like it.<br/><br/>I'm never really sure how to review Green's books. He's obviously a talented writer, and I do enjoy his books. I just don't know what to say without spoiling anything! The Fault in Our Stars is heartwarming, funny, sad, moving, so many things in one. I'm not familiar with the cancer process, but it felt like a very realistic portrayal with ups and downs.</span>"

2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3LI6J0D3TU72K?ASIN=014242417X	Excellent book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Wonderfully written. Mostly believable dialogue as compared to other YA novels. Between this movie adaptation and Divergent, Shailene Woodley is going to be inescapable.<br/><br/>And worth re-reading even if you know how it's going to end and how you're going to react.</span>"

The kids vocabulary seems very advanced. But you can look past that when.you realize what is going on. It's heartwrenching but it also.gave me a weird sense of peace. And once you get into.it you can't put it down.</span>"

It was truly a painful experience and the specter of death dampened it's funniest and  most meaningful moments....and yet, I enjoyed this book. Now I will eat a pint of Ben &amp; Jerry's and read something with Vampires in it.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R230E9MMX2CFDU?ASIN=014242417X	Best Book so Far	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Emotional. Torn-Hearts. Tears beyond Measure. Smiles. These are some of the things that were flowing through my body throughout the book. Tissues didn't come in an endless supply. But smiles followed the last words. If there were words that could describe a book of this measure, please tell me.<br/><br/>John Green creates a world that we as humans can relate to. Not personally but we do know of these occurences in the world. Sometimes we just blow them off because it isn't happening to us. Or it could be because we just don't care. After reading this book, those thoughts were erased and I can say that I would wish this on no one.<br/><br/>Agustus and Hazel are two of the most amazing characters that anyone would just randomly want to hug and take them home. I know I would! We fall in love with the characters as soon as will set our eys on the pages where they exist. The words that bring them to life. And for one, takes their life.<br/><br/>The plot was one that wasn't fast-paced but one you would want to take the time to let it all sink in. Taking every word or sentence into our mind and processing it while struggling to hold back the tears.<br/><br/>I know I have told people to repeatly give a book chance and dive into its pages. However, if there is one book that one must read before they die, than this is it. Compelling with words that will leavev you an emotional wreck, Mr. Green creates a novel that wraps the lives of many into one summary. Like I said words are unable to tell how great this book is but these are my words.<br/><br/>I give this book 5 souls!</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RCH4OTS04QTBM?ASIN=014242417X	TFIOS	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I preordered The Fault In Our Stars when it was first released only to wait months for my signed copy. Best decision ever...<br/><br/>The Fault In Our Stars, is so great, because any attempts to outline the plot or characters make it sound like one of the worst books ever written. Green has always excelled at writing the sorts of young-adult books where the characters learn important things about themselves, which is already dangerous territory for writing.<br/><br/>I really enjoyed this book. I loved the way it went from being laugh-out-loud funny to gut-wrenchingly depressing in a matter of moments. Hazel and Augustus were really interesting characters. They definitely didn't talk like most teenagers I see today, but they still seemed realistic to me, given everything that they've been through. I also really enjoyed reading about Isaac. He's not a huge part in the novel, but his scenes were definitely some of my favorites.<br/><br/>The Van Houten section of the book was a little strange. I understand why that whole bit was there - and, really, there wouldn't be that much to the plot if you took it out - but it seemed a bit unrealistic to me, especially as the book went on. And I wish we could see more of a reaction to the letter that Hazel reads at the end of the book. I'm really not sure what to make of it. It kind of sounded insulting at times, and yet it was also very sweet. At the very least, it forced me stop and think for a while, which isn't something that every book does, so that was refreshing. All in all an amazing book that I highly recommend you read.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2VZEWMFB5K7V5?ASIN=014242417X	A Thud to the Chest--Cliched but Surprising Accurate Description of this Book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">It's been a few days since I finished _The Fault in our Stars_ and I've still been thinking about it. I think one of the characters of the novel described my feelings best by saying: ""My thoughts are stars I cannot fathom into constellations."" Reading this book is like a thud to the chest.<br/><br/>There are two distinct reasons why I (who recently graduated with a degree in Pretentiously Talking about Capital L Literature and am now working on my Masters to teach high school) love this book, and they are as follows:<br/><br/>1) John Green. When I first picked up one of his books (_Looking for Alaska_) years ago, I was hooked on his writing style. He has the enviable ability to write hilariously while still managing to explore themes that are big and important. I cannot emphasize this enough: NO ONE DOES WHAT HE DOES. Most of the authors who tackle the subjects that he tackles are writing big, dense novels (or journal articles) for a mainly adult audience of hardcore readers. His writing is so accessible, simple, and so beautiful. John Green is playing a different instrument than anyone else.<br/><br/>2) The characters of the novel drive the story, instead of the omnipresent backdrop of illness. Hazel and Augustus are among many kids with cancer that are in the novel, and each reacts to their mortality in different ways because they are different people. Green deconstructs the trope of the saintly child with an illness to reveal complex, sometimes messy characters. The result is gut-wrenching.<br/><br/>It's lovely and sad. Seriously, read it. I literally threw it at my roommate when I was done. DFTBA.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3LYHDKWCZPO4A?ASIN=014242417X	wow	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is beautifully written. The story is gorgeous and heartbreaking.

3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2PI2QJD6WXYNC?ASIN=014242417X	such a beautiful story!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I haven't cried about a book like this in a long time I definitely recommend it to anyone who is alive it's really one of those books that make you question life, love, and suffering... It puts you right with the character and just wow.<br/><br/>Read it, seriously.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R17Q294Z8KEFEP?ASIN=014242417X	Lots of tears.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I finished the book in less than a day. It's a perfect combination of romance and tragedy. I. CRIED. A. LOT. It was one of those books that you just immediately click with the characters and before you know it you're invested. It is a book that makes you look deeper.</span>"

I'm a huge John Green fan, and his books are part of my reading happy place. I love the way he weaves words together, his wry humor, his too-smart-for-their-own-good characters. I sit down to read his books knowing most of what to expect (in a good way), but he usually ends up surprising me on a few points.<br/><br/>I loved TFIOS. From the start, I was rooting for jaded, frustrated Hazel. Like her, I fell for Gus, and I quickly became immersed in their story, in their lives, as they struggled with the crappy hand they'd been dealt.<br/><br/>Somewhere along the way, I cracked. Nothing particularly bad was happening in the story at that moment, but the general awesome-teens-with-awful-cancer thing got to me, and tears began tracking their way down my cheeks. I had become invested in Hazel and Gus and wanted for them the perfect happy ending that they deserved, but I knew they wouldn't get it. That thought basically made me cry--quietly and steadily--through to the end of the book.<br/><br/>There was no climactic, melodramatic ending (like, no one dies tragically in a mudslide in South America (*cough* NicholasSparks *cough*)), but it fit the book and the characters, which is just about all a reader can ask for.<br/><br/>And that's why I love John Green's writing. If you're a fan of <a class=""a-link-normal"" href=""/Looking-for-Alaska/dp/0142402516"">Looking for Alaska</a> (and if you're not, seriously, GO READ LOOKING FOR ALASKA), then TFIOS will be your new favorite book.<br/><br/>This review was originally posted at [...]</span>"

Hazel and Augustus' love story was beautiful and inspiring. You will probably cry toward the end because it is very sad, but it doesn't leave you feeling depressed afterwards.

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3SS4MW0B3OQPE?ASIN=014242417X	Loved it.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">It was a really beautiful book.  And you can't pass it off as a typical teen romance.  These aren't ""real"" teens.  Hazel and Gus have a grasp on reality most of us will never have.  I thought it was funny and thoughtful - and sad, but never, ever depressing.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R20ULTJ5668D86?ASIN=014242417X	Stephanie	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The perfect mix of humor and sadness. At first, I would regret my chuckles and then eventually realized that was what the book was about: finding laughter in s***ty situations. I loved this book and was sad that it was only 300+ pages. It ended too soon. Great read!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2L65OZ0A07Q6C?ASIN=014242417X	doesn't quite do it for me	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Although it has been highly acclaimed by plenty of others, I can't join that chorus.  There's much to like about this book, including the sentiment, but the dialogue between the  main characters struck me as unnatural, and one character, Van Houten, too unrealistic.</span>"

I think he is rather nerdy and funny. None the less, The Fault In Our Stars is an awesome book. it was sad, yet funny and made me question my part in the world. I loved this book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RR3AP0YJIEA2W?ASIN=014242417X	Filled with greater meaning than I have the ability to appreciate	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is so far above others in its genre.

I will be interested to see the movie when it comes out. The characterization wasn't sophisticated or subtle. I would say it is typical of YA literature.

The book just grabbed you from the beginning and never let you go. The characters seem very human and you found yourself short of breath as you read along with Hazel.  Very good story.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1BK3NX0XZX0WM?ASIN=014242417X	infinity within a numbered amount of pages	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">There are so many things that I could say about this book. I could go on for quite a long time about it. It is beautiful and it is powerful. Within its numbered amount of pages, I fell in love with the characters and I learned. Both Augustus and Hazel are wise beyond their years, Augustus even more so.<br/><br/>In response to the people who criticize Augustus and Hazel for not sounding like 'regular' teenagers, they were not regular teenagers. Not every teen is forced to fight a terrifying battle like the ones that Augustus and Hazel were forced into. Not every teen is forced to see the things that they saw because of that battle.<br/><br/>I will be honest and say that I am mad that it is Hazel who got to live, when Augustus did not. I found Augustus to be very unselfish and very vulnerable, and much easier for me to love. I thought that Hazel was very selfish, because after all, up until Gus told her about his recurrence, she never stopped to think that he, too, would always carry the possibility of being ""like a grenade."" Maybe I'm the selfish one for feeling that way, but I still feel that way. If there is one single thing I would want changed, it would be that Hazel would not be so oblivious to the feelings of others.<br/><br/>I could not put this book down from the moment I picked it up until the moment I finished it. Once again, it is beautiful and it is powerful. It is an absolute must read for everyone.<br/><br/>Thank you, John Green, for giving us an infinity within the numbered amount of pages of your book.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RUJYCGZFVNEUX?ASIN=014242417X	Beware of spoilers!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I really loved this book. I feel like I end up hating the protagonist of most YA novels because they're immature, not relatable, etc. But Hazel is the opposite. She's witty and compassionate and so incredibly relatable (especially considering her voice was written by a guy). Her viewpoint on dying is one I had never thought of before and it's a really brave one when you think about it. It reminded me of Franny and Zooey, where one of them (I can't remember who) says something about not having the courage to be an absolute nobody. That's what Hazel has. She has the courage to be an absolute nobody just to save people from the ""wounds"" her death would cause. She's obsessively worried about Anna's mom in An Imperial Affliction just as she's obsessively worried about her own mom and dad and how their lives will turn out after she passes. Gus, on the other hand, is the complete opposite. He wants his death to change someone's life forever; Hazel wants no one to be affected by her death. Gus represents more of the classic version of heroism that we immediately think of, but I think Hazel's is the more selfless kind of heroism. She almost cares more about other people than Gus does because she doesn't want to emotionally hurt them and scar their lives while Gus is more concerned about meaning something to someone and leaving a mark.<br/><br/>Aside from all of that, this book made me laugh, awkwardly, in public places and, yes, even cry. It was so enveloping and hard to get away from and I  just really really really recommend it.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1PV4T0N1R98PB?ASIN=014242417X	Not just a cancer book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">John Green has a talent for somehow understanding male and female characters who are teenagers. It's interesting, because he, obviously, is a man, and was never a teenage girl. But in this story, he gives Hazel, a teenager girl with cancer, a voice that is so real it feels more genuine than anything else I have ever read. Hazel meets another guy with cancer, Augustus, fondly called Gus. He had a portion of one leg removed while Hazel is forced to carry around a respirator all of the time. They bond over Hazel's favorite book, An Imperial Affliction by Peter van Houten. It too is about a girl with cancer, and the ending leaves both Hazel and Augustus unsatisfied. As they discuss the book and set out on a journey to ask Mr. van Houten the questions that plague them, they slowly fall in love.<br/><br/>It doesn't feel like cancer is the main point of this book. Obviously, it would feel like it drives the entire plot, but somehow, beautifully, it doesn't. It takes a backseat to two teenagers falling in love over something as lovely as a book. Cancer isn't a looming presence, probably because Hazel and Gus accept death as an ally. This story is magical- it is funny and sad and poignant and brutal, but most of all it comes across as terribly honest and that is what I most appreciate about it. This book is a must-read if you have ever read anything else by John Green, and if this is the first book you are reading by this author, then you need to read his other books, like Looking for Alaska and Paper Towns.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1NKSCBDNMMJIS?ASIN=014242417X	The glory of Augustus Waters	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">As there are nearly 500 other reviews of the book as a whole, I would like to limit my comments only to Augustus Waters.  I am a former high school English teacher now in my 60s.  I have read many many fine works and have known many many fine characters.  Augustus ranks among the most memorable.  I won't forget him soon, and I hope not ever.  He, though, would realize that even the fondest memories will fade.  Augustus  is among the most noble, generous, loving, and kind characters I have known in books.  Perhaps it is partially his abiding and engrained sense of self-sacrifice that make me love him.  I think of Augustus, and I think of Sidney Carton (A Tale of Two Cities) who has long been my favorite literary male character, with Once and Future King's King Arthur, and Sometimes a Great Notion's Hank Stamper.  The three have this in common--their sense of giving to others.  Of course there are many other endearing and beautiful qualities to this boy--one cannot forget his genius sense of humor, and again, his great kindness and loyalty.  I no longer read 'young-adult' novels, and I have never before read a ""cancer-kid"" novel, so I cannot compare the book in its entirety to others of the genre.  But I can compare Augustus, and he shines.  This book moves me deeply, and yes, I did drop some tears and get the lump in my throat, and I still do, as I think of this boy.  I'm glad I read this book , and I am glad to know Augustus Waters.  My heart is a bit more of a beautiful place because of him.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1B9S9C8LYIGR7?ASIN=014242417X	One of my Top 10 for 2012	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I finisehd The Fault In Our Stars and although I didn't cry my heart broke for the two main characters; Hazel Grace and Augustus Waters which meet after Hazel joins a support group after being diagnosed with depression.<br/><br/>These two develop a relationship and I would go on record as being one of the realest fictional relationships I have read.<br/><br/>Hazel introduces Augustus to her favourite book; An Imperial Affliction by Peter Van Houten which is about living a good life with cancer however it ends mid-sentence. The two venture to Amsterdam to meet Peter to find out what happened. After being disheartened they head to the Anne Frank museum where after being there they share a passionate kiss.<br/><br/>From here on in the story takes the reader on a emotional roller-coaster in which I was hooked to my eReader in which by the end I wasn't a weeping mess but felt pain for the characters. The reality of what I have experienced with cancer myself; the author portrayals a realism that makes the memories come back.<br/><br/>I have also been a part of these support groups; myself suffering from a chronic health condition and eventually leaving because it did more harm then good. I also felt very sad when the last six chapters because I have had a family member die of cancer within the last two years and my mother was a carer for him.<br/><br/>This is the first John Green book I have read; I plan to read more however I want a breather for a moment as that was one hell of a book.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2KJ8YUXU6SJC8?ASIN=014242417X	Don't Believe the Hype	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">It took me a long time to read this book - four weeks to be exact.  I'd stop, start, stop again, the familiar pattern because I just felt like I had to finish it: everyone in the airports had a copy of it, I'd see people by the pool reading it, so I figured it must be outstanding.  I'm sure many people will wish I would burn in Hell for saying I didn't like the book.<br/><br/>Most of my disappointment was in the dialogue and the scenes - it appears to be a copy and paste of various clichés.  The characters are basically jerks to everyone (except themselves) and aren't likeable nor do you really get much of a sympathy vote despite the subject matter.<br/><br/>I've never read a John Green book and after hearing so many people gush about how great this one was I decided to do a little reflection on myself before putting this down for a two star review.  I first thought maybe because it was a young adult book that was the reason I didn't like it, but that's not true because I do like YA books.<br/><br/>Then I looked at it in the light of because it was a potential tear-jerker that is supposed to get you in touch with your feelings was why I didn't like it; as a man, I could fall into that stereotype.  But then I said nope, that can't be it because I like a mushy tear-jerker with the best of them.<br/><br/>Then I came to the realization that so many of the authors fans will disagree with: the writing is just bad and it is time to move on.  Avoid the hype and give this one a pass.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1953T9S5ZKGE?ASIN=014242417X	Worth every penny, every minute, every ounce of energy it takes to read.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I have read all of John Green's books, and I enjoy them all thoroughly. I think his voice, while not necessarily the most original, is definitely worth being heard. He always takes on the reality of how tempting pessimism can be, but how important hope is. I do think his narrators, characters, stories, are all relatively the same, though.<br/>This book breaks the mold.<br/>I can't even write this without crying because reading this book touches a part of our humanity and mortality that we have become accustomed to pushing away. We, as a society, generally spend our time moving through motions of superficiality and vanity. I'm not trying to be self-righteous. It's true.<br/>But there are people that are forced to face their mortality every day. Their struggle can be a curse and a blessing. It's so hard to read some of the other books about terminal illnesses. They can be optimistic to the point of being sugary and distorted. Or they can be so morbid that the author seems to be pressing the point that in the end, life is nothing.<br/>But John Green balances this book beautifully. Hazel is a profoundly flawed, tragic, and beautiful narrator.<br/>I read this book cover to cover the minute I got it. And it made me want to put effort into living my life.<br/>Life is not perfect. It is not easy. It is beautiful and precious, though. I know that sounds cliche and ridiculous, but this book will make you feel all of it. It will--like all good books seem to do--make you feel more human.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3L1X2TXNF10M7?ASIN=014242417X	this book was just as good as the movie	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">After loving the movie so much, I decided to wanted to read the book. I am not a reader. I start books and never finish them all the time. But, this book was just as good as the movie. I read cover to cover and reading it made me love the story even more.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2ZV8DC6SPR9I6?ASIN=014242417X	How enlightening	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I chose this rating because it was a great book.

4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2VMRXXNK1IPQJ?ASIN=014242417X	Fabulous read!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Although it was a bit predictable, I liked the predictability.

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2Q5RWGXHBSXLY?ASIN=014242417X	A Heartbraking but Beautiful Book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I love books that make me experience the whole spectrum of human emotion while reading and The Fault In Our Stars by John Green met this requirement and exceeded it. I had never read any of John Green's books before I read the Fault In Our Stars so I did not really know what to expect but as soon as I started reading I knew I had made a mistake by not reading his books sooner. The Fault In Our Stars is about two teenagers who meet in a cancer support group. Hazel is funny and her cancer is controlled for now but she has to have an oxygen tank wherever she goes. When Hazel arrives at support group one day she meets Augustus Waters a handsome and charming guy. Augustus and Hazel begin to hang out and talk about things. We soon learn Augustus is more than what meets the eye. Hazel and Augustus begin to become more than friends and Augustus makes Hazel look at her life and her sickness in different ways. I love the conversation Hazel and Augusts have. The conversations are so thought provoking and hilarious at the same time. I also enjoyed reading a book where the characters do things and are realistic. The Fault In Our Stars made me realize sometimes the faults in our life are in the stars and not in ourselves. Hazel and Augustus might just be my favorite couple of 2012 and possibly all time. I have not given The Fault in Our Stars a review that really gives it all the credit it deserves. So as a last thought I would recommend the Fault In Our Stars to everyone.</span>"

All that said, I am so very glad that I was coerced convinced by my dear friend Nancy to read this book. Mr Green told the story in such a way that even though you know somewhat what the outcome will be, you will laugh and cry along with the wonderfully witty and dare I say delightfully twisted characters.<br/><br/>  I love each and every one of them. The sick teens, the Horrifically twisted writer, the best friend who has problems of his own, to the parents who are just trying to make the best of a very bad situation.<br/>One of my favorite scenes has to do with throwing eggs at someones house... a delightful side story. If you have read The Fault in Our Stars you already know the what and whys, if not, there will be a BIG ol' smile on your face when you get to it.<br/><br/>  When our teens take a journey to Amsterdam, Mr Green paints a beautifully descriptive and picturesque moment in time that I will not easily forget, for it is etched forever in my heart and soul.<br/><br/> I give The Fault in Our Stars : 5 out of 5 hearts Tis Awesomeness!!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R78NC8GSEM1Q3?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in Our Stars isn't without Fault	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Before I get into the meat of my criticisms, let me start by saying that The Fault in Our Stars by John Green is a beautiful, emotionally touching book.  It's identified as a young adult novel, but I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to just about anyone.  It's a worthwhile read.<br/><br/>But as good as the book can be, there are a couple of faults worth noting.  The first of which is John Green's voice for lead character Hazel Grace.  She's written as a sixteen year old girl, yet her vocabulary far exceeds that of a moderately intelligent adult.  Reading some of the dialog between her and her boyfriend Augustus felt like watching an episode of Gilmore Girls.  That's not a good thing.<br/><br/>The relationship between Hazel and Augustus is a believable one.  They rely on each other for strength as they both cope with having cancer.  It's refreshing that both characters recognize the hopelessness of their situations, and reflect on life rather than blame the world.<br/><br/>But towards the end of the book, a series of completely unbelievable events occur.  From the use of the Make A Wish Foundation, to the wacky actions of an alcoholic author, things just aren't believable.  These events take the reader out of the story, and moments which should tug on your heartstrings do less so because of them.  It's a shame, because without these moments, The Fault in Our Stars is near perfect in creating a bond between the reader and the characters.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2JAVFO7XVBR9B?ASIN=014242417X	A little slow going but worth the read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I'm hoping they've embellished slightly for the movie as the book is somewhat slow going.

4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1HAEV6B1I2UBD?ASIN=014242417X	Laughed and Cried at the Same Time	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I have come to believe that John Green never disappoints. Ever!! This book is the most serious of his books that I've read before and that is saying quite a lot.<br/><br/>TFIOS had all the things that I have come to love and expect from Green's books: very smart teenagers who read and have impressive vocabularies, parts that make you laugh out loud, and Venn diagrams. I love Venn diagrams.<br/><br/>What I liked the most about the book was that Hazel and Augustus though having to deal with cancer, were just like normal teens; hormones included. That being said, I loved that Hazel had some hesitation when trying to decide whether or not to date Augustus. I hate instant love in YA. Big Pet Peeve. And yes, there was insta-love on Augustus' part, but he's so romantic about it that I forgive him.<br/><br/>Peter Van Houten is my favorite secondary character in a way. Though I do kind of hate him at times. He's an eccentric and a creeper of epically humorous proportions, but he's less of a jerk once you get to the bottom of his story.<br/><br/>The descriptions of Amsterdam are so beautiful that I want to pack up and go there right now. I don't even care that I don't know a word of Dutch.<br/><br/>The bottom line, I loved these characters as if they were real people. They are so thoughtful, funny, and I was deeply moved to the point of tears. This book will get you. You will feel like you know these characters personally.</span>"

You can't help but wonder what kind of kids they would be had cancer never touched their lives but you love them because of it. They truly are a side effect of cancer.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R93SKIMVQO1HQ?ASIN=014242417X	amazballz	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was soooo sad and amazing. The three last sentences killed me. Literally. Although I HATE love stories, this book is my favorite book in the universe. The divergent series is a good chose too. (Great book for Tweens, teens, and adults)</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3CKG95N8SRAWA?ASIN=014242417X	Great	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Usually it takes a month or two for me to read a book but it only took 6 days, that tells you it was an awesome book. It starts off slow but all books do just about but not to slow and then it gives you something unexpected. I rate a 5 out of 5.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R343JDK17Q51XQ?ASIN=014242417X	greatest book I have ever read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I finished this book in less than 24 hours and it was a great love story, it showed that there isn't always a happy ending but it is good while it lasts.. I know I will read this many more times in my life just like Hazel reads AIA over and over</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1FCAP4V7YHY55?ASIN=014242417X	I LOVE THIS BOOK SO MUCH.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">John Green is my favourite author. I love him as a person and the book The Fault In Our Stars was so amazing. It is, by far, the greatest book in the practical world. And let me just say, Hugustus is my new OTP. I just cannot wait for the movie.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2IRGU1GH59VSY?ASIN=014242417X	heartbreakingly beautiful	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The tragedy of the story is encased in a beautiful love construct. Hazel and Gus share a genuine connection that transcends the grim realities of cancer. Albeit fictional, I was left believing that their love story lives on beyond the last page.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1IIJ8GCQWCB95?ASIN=014242417X	Very interesting...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is kinda quirky. It is sad and, I fear, often times very real. I loved the way he developed the main characters in the book, family members included. I've been a ""family member"". Fortunately for us, our story ended differently.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R72QWW5FGFH29?ASIN=014242417X	amazingly insightful!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is about a girl with cancer, but it's definitely not what you might imagine. The way she is coping and how she sees life, her sense of humor despite the situation, it is just beautiful. Once you start reading you will not want to stop.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3T3VQMS76K3JR?ASIN=014242417X	5 stars.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book made me realize the importances in life. I absolutely loved this book. It made me cry like 5 different times and rally tugged at my heart strings. I can't even image being in Hazels spot. She is such a fighter. Loved this book so much.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RWV40OAVQNXJX?ASIN=014242417X	good book but very sad	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I really enjoyed the perspective that this story is written from but it is just so sad.  I was reading this on the airplane and stopped because I was crying too much. I almost didn't finish it but I really appreciated how well John Green writes.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R10BPHGO1EW8C9?ASIN=014242417X	Redundant - it's great	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I'm in good company recommending this book - it's great because:  It's wonderfully written, has very flawed very real characters and tells a good story.  Also it's fun to get all emotional and surprised and go through a box of kleenex, isn't it?</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2AMCFPVBIFR52?ASIN=014242417X	Very enjoyable book.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I really enjoyed this story.  While I have never known a 17 year old boy who was as poised as Augustus Waters, if you just accept that he could exist the rest of the story is pretty realistic and very poignant.  You will hate to finish the book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R38W8ILAOAK2QX?ASIN=014242417X	My new favorite!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book definitely hits the heartstrings hard! Have a tissue box with you read this! I'm absolutely in love with the characters in this book and the story is realistic and meaningful (and this is coming from someone who doesn't normally read!)</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3579DZNX0CSVB?ASIN=014242417X	Beautiful book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This author has a way with words; but more importantly, has created a beautiful and believable story with characters that you care about.  He doesn't spare the reader the sadness inherent in serious illness, but tempers it well with smart humor,</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1BMNXT2KEA5B6?ASIN=014242417X	I'm so upset	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read this book to simply see what all the hype was about, but now I've seen it and fallen in love with Augustus Waters and Hazel Grace together. I wish there was a way for it to end differently, but it was an amazing book. I cried like a baby.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RLBXI23T1YE6Y?ASIN=014242417X	Fantastic	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This was a beautiful story that could not ever be described in simple words. John Green captured feelings and emotions of his characters that were incredible and real. I would defiantly recommend this book to everyone who would agree to read it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RABAOCPL66NM1?ASIN=014242417X	amazing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I really liked thes book. Not many books are written with people as amazing as Hazel and Agustus. But like on page 235 I started crying way before someone died. If you do want to read this book then you really should its amazing and a must read.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3E7K0F8F2F4FO?ASIN=014242417X	Good read.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I really enjoyed reading and thinking over all of John Greens deep and unique thoughts or revelations. Also, in most books even when the characters are very smart, they don't use a complex vocabulary and I loved how Hazel Grace and Ausgustus did</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2N5W6F2IJJ1NS?ASIN=014242417X	Beautifully sad	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I really liked this book, I will definitely read it again because, and I am not embarrassed to admit this, some things just went right over my head. The love story was sad but in one of those, ""ok, that sucked, but I think I'm ok with it"", ways.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RKJ2KHSFYMTTD?ASIN=014242417X	Wow	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I was not expecting to like this as much as I did. Very moving, if slightly implausible. I teach very smart teenagers, and even the best of them aren't this eloquent. Still, a great story, well told, and a terrific way to pass a rainy afternoon.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2MP2Z6NEJZTGN?ASIN=014242417X	There is no love story like this...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">If you don't love this book by the time you finish the last page, you either didn't understand the meaning behind the book, or you have no soul. I'm only a 13 year old girl, and came across this book while searching for a good book to read. I didn't know what it was about, and I didn't have to. John Green has a way of filling your heart with such amazement, such gratitude for those who have died trying to fight their way passed with truth, of their death, and for those who have lost the ones they cared about most. I found myself crying hysterically in bed, totally engrossed in this touching story. I fell in love with Augustus, just as Hazel (my fictional hero) did. I've had this story in my personal library for a while (if you consider two weeks a while) and started reading it on Friday - two days ago.  I'm telling you now, if you're a person who will cry during reading any book, be prepared to have people asking our if you're okay. This is the first tine ever that I've cried during reading a book, and every word I felt a pain in my chest that told me I had fallen in love too hard with this book. I have no complaints with this book - everything was written beautifully, all characters had brilliant personalities....I couldn't have asked for more. Why can't there be more love stories like Hazel and Augustus' ? Well, I guess that's the brilliance about this book. There is no love story like Hazel and Augustus' .</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3IPLE2GFRMYTK?ASIN=014242417X	Loved this book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Heartfelt story about teenage kids dealing with life-threatening disease.  Made me appreciate the relatively good health I've enjoyed my 44 years and counting!  Couldn't imagine such a fate for myself or any if my family members at such an age.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2VLVCWZVO8BTD?ASIN=014242417X	Feeling	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I had already seen the movie so I already knew the storyline. This is a beautifully written book. I'm so glad I decided to read it after the movie. I would definitely reccomend this book to anyone who wants to read a book with a lot of feeling.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RKF3JYB9JNC00?ASIN=014242417X	Remarkable	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book  brought me tears of sadness and of laughter. I don't know how this book came to be written, if the author experienced sickness himself or a loved one, but it made me think. How will I be with someone I love if the unfortunate occurs?</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/REXJ4SB2SVVMB?ASIN=014242417X	Twice read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read this once and didn't cry just thought it was fictional and I read it again. I read it again and no words can describe their pain and my agony. I read it again and broke because of the obvious things that I so easily forget. 20 out of 10.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3KA0PXATTNPRU?ASIN=014242417X	Flowing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was one of the first books in a while that has caught my attention. I felt that the words flowed together but that I was still able to envision the characters and setting without being wordy. The story was real and emotions were true.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RN7QEXNSPS4FP?ASIN=014242417X	Couldn't put it down	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Hazel and Augustus's story held me in a way that a train wreck holds the curious bystander. You know it will be tragic, but it's interesting and you can't stop watching. It was a beautiful tale of love and loss. My heart will never be the same.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1PEJRSMC1WIZD?ASIN=014242417X	Super read for me!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is a great young-adult novel that appeals to adults as well as teens.  I have not yet seen the movie, but I adored the book.  It will have quite an emotional effect on most readers, especially those who have  experienced cancer first-hand.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1Y6R0DLT1ZOJB?ASIN=014242417X	Not just for teenagers!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I loved this book!

The people next to me probably thought I was nuts.  I was laughing one minute and crying the next.  Four and a half hours have never flown so quickly.  It was a great read!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2AC27NB09X7PW?ASIN=014242417X	For young adults or not-so-young adults	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is rated ""young adult fiction"" but I found it to be a compelling story for any age. It is a challenging balance to strike something which is funny, realistic, difficult topics AND a good read. Mr. Green has done it nicely here</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R239D6YI322N7P?ASIN=014242417X	Disappointed	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Disappointed...not as good as it was hyped up to be! Too predictable and same old story...two cancer victims meet...fall in love...blah. blah....nothing that really stands out...same-o...same-o.  But, on the other hand, it is very well written.</span>"

4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3AFBGDDNBSHG7?ASIN=014242417X	How?	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">How does one describe the literary masterpiece contained with the confines of this book? Simply put, you don't. As portrayed by this book, time, being the slut she is, does not heal all wounds. We are stuck in a loop of pain and pleasure though many are dealt a bad hand. Mine is another comment that may be seen and forgotten; but I write in in the hopes that it will inspire someone to read. I saw an abundance of positive reviews and, being a fan of all things Green, I gave it a shot. It did not disappoint. Some books and authors are comparable to prostitutes. Appealing to the basic feelings and emotions of humanity, forcing itself onto you. A great book does not need to lower itself to meet the needs of the lowest common denominator, it is written for those who read. It is rare to come across such a fantastic and poignant work of literature. I have purchased many books over my lifetime, however short it may seem to some, but I like to think that I know when I come across sometimg great. I was driven to tears in page after page, i set the book down only to cry and think about the fragility of life and hope and how life finds away to take away all hope when we have just been given it back. The fault, dear Reader, is not in our stars, but in our selves, striving to become things we are not and losing what he have just when we think it is withing our grasps.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2CC6XRZQCXAWQ?ASIN=014242417X	I have read it at least 6 times	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is an amazing book.  I read it the first time in one sitting.  How Green manages to write a book about this difficult of a subject and not cliche the hell out of it is amazing in itself.  Most books/movies with the same plot allow for a certain amount of fake heroism for the characters.  Don't get me wrong, anyone who is battling cancer or any life altering disease is a hero in my book.  However, it's almost like writers have to write the characters as heroic to make it worth reading for the reader/like they have to give back control to the characters in the face of illness.  Green manages to capture chaos of trying to live a life with death looming over the characters and treat it in a real manner which at times is devoid of any heroism.<br/><br/>The biggest complaint I have seen from other readers is regarding the intelligence level of the characters.  However, the idea that teenagers aren't intelligent or don't have extensive vocabulary skills is ridiculous.<br/><br/>The part where Hazel describes the smaller infinities created by their relationship made 50% cry and 50% jealous to not have found  that relationship.  I highly recommend this book.  Any worries you have about not reading about cancer, or not wanting to read a sob story...push them aside.  This is not really a book about cancer, cancer is just a side affect of incredible story.</span>"

4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R23ND3V51G010F?ASIN=014242417X	Such an amazing read, funny and tragic at the same time.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">When this book first came out, I had never heard of John Green, because I was just starting to get really into reading. But so so so many people were excited to read this book, and also were raving about it once they read it. At first I didn't think anything of it, I didn't think it would be something I'd be interested in. But the more I heard people talking about it, the more intrigued I became. I did not hear one negative review about it. And then I caught on to the fact that evidently, the ending of this book made a lot of people cry. I've never had a book make me cry before. Challenge accepted, John Green.<br/><br/>It did not make me cry, but it almost did. Regardless of that, I completely loved everything about this book from the first day I started reading it. All the main characters were interesting and likeable, the bursts of humor actually made me laugh out loud, and then there were sad moments that made me question life and everything in it. Even though it didn't make me cry, I can definitely see how it made others cry. Clearly my heart is made of stone or something. Or it's partly made of stone, because I was sad, just not in tears.<br/><br/>After reading this, I definitely have to say that I will be picking up more of John Green's books. If they are anywhere near as good as this one, he's sure to become a favorite author of mine.</span>"

The only other book of his that I had read was Paper Towns, which wasn't bad I just didn't jump up and down about it like other people. I just wrote it off as an over-hyped book that just didn't do as much for me. I honestly wasn't even going to run out and pick up this book right away, although ALL my blogger friends were pre-ordering it and all pre-orders were signed which lead me to purchase the book soon after its release date. I decided because everyone was reading it, that i'd read it right away, and this book honestly made me understand the hype behind John Green. It took me a few months to wrap my mind around writing this review simply because I knew I wouldn't be able to formulate words that would do this book any sort of justice.<br/><br/>The relationship between Gus and Hazel was phenomenally crafted. They were witty and snarky and had a great outlook on life although both of them were terminally ill. This book can't even recieve enough justice from a review. So i'm going to keep this short and just tell you that you need to go out and pick up this book if you haven't yet. You'll laugh, you'll cry, and you'll be able to relate if you've ever lost anyone important in your life that was taken away way too soon.<br/><br/>Hats off to you John Green!</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1U6RNAJ2BP15G?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The story is told through the point of view of a sixteen year old girl with cancer by the named of Hazel Grace.  Guarded with cynicism and witt, she reminded me a lot of Juno MacGuff; that same angsty, slightly know-it-all moodiness that comes with being a teenager.  As the story goes on, her ""layers"" are slowly peeled back a love interest, Augustus Waters, who she meets at a support group for cancer patients.  Waters is this slightly cocky, self-assured, tender and persistent guy that seems to represent the hope that people need when living with the hard realities of life, like cancer.  There is depth to his character and his pursuit of Hazel makes for a great story line.<br/><br/>Cancer seems to be this thief that is sneaking into families and marriages without an invitation, threatening to steal the peace and joy of living.  It brings fear, uncertainty, support groups, more sickness, covered dishes, and tons of medical bills.  It is a delicate subject, but John Green's treatment of it brings a lighter side to the heaviness of it's reality.<br/><br/>I laughed out loud several times.  I enjoyed that the characters responded to the realities of cancer as teenagers, and not teenagers trying to be adults.  I appreciated the awkwardness of the character's raw honest at times.  I thoroughly enjoyed the book, and would recommend it.</span>"

4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1162E3I4JVU5R?ASIN=014242417X	The affliction of love	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The lingering tears that creased my eyes as I finished Hazel's story would not be sufficient proof for the effect Green's book had on me. I think he has managed to create that third space he writes about in the novel, a space where the reader and the book unite in a crescendo, where the words no longer seek to be read, but to be honored and to be remembered for infinity. 'The Fault in our Stars' is not just about two cancer-ridden teenagers, their angst and their motivations for fighting this distraught battle. I found it to be a poignant and utterly tacit work on what all of us seek, what we get, and what we don't. How we fight our battles and what those battles truly are. Being encumbered by a disease can incite a radical notion, a strong desire to leave a mark that Augustus so badly wanted to leave, so that oblivion would not grasp him and leave him breathless. But Green uses cancer not so much as a tool to make us appreciate his characters more, but to allow us to remember that we are all a part of this juggernaut of life, and that this was a story he wished would make love, friendship and all the 'metaphors' of life seem relevant again. And it did. For all its worth Gus, I will follow the risen sun, and see the light. Take a bite off this book. Maybe you will find yourself afflicted with love as I did.</span>"

4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1E5MUUTJKBNMY?ASIN=014242417X	Weighty topic, but the epitome of profoundness.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">After hearing excellent reviews from my friends and associates alike, I couldn't resist picking up this book. John Green is one of those authors who has received a great deal of praise but someone whose books I'd never had the pleasure of sitting down with. However, once I started to read this book, I became instantly hooked. Green utilizes his wittiness to craft realistic and deep characters whose interactions are fascinating for fictional people. He's also successful in making what would seem like serious settings (such as the church where Hazel has her vapid support group) into a place where the character can comment with something horrible, often funny, unmistakably true, and relevant to our own world. The introduction of Augustus does nothing but add to the fun, as he combined with Hazel's skeptical view on life and death and cancer is enhanced with his own insightful judgements. Every new twist brings out the wonderful humour in the pair, which, overall, makes the book extremely entertaining and never lacking in substance. If you have not experienced a written masterpiece by the potent John Green, The Fault In Our Stars is an excellent one to start with, and will almost definitely draw you to his other works, which are just as memorable, changing, and, in every possible sense of the word, wondrous.</span>"

2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1FRS9Q81G6DZI?ASIN=014242417X	There's No Great Fault in this Star.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I admit it. I have no great desire to see movies, or read books about cancer. I avoid them like... well, cancer. However, the buzz surrounding this book was enough to overcome my squeamishness, and what I found was unexpected.  The first surprise is this isn't a cancer book. I mean, it is... but not really. Yes, the dark veil of cancer hangs over every page, but John Green doesn't make it the star of the book. The real stars, faults and all, are Gus and Hazel, who simply refuse to let their sicknesses rule or define them. They demonstrate the kind of strength it takes to get up every time you're knocked off your feet. The story is bittersweet, funny, tragic, poignant, and so much more. It had me laughing on one page, and crying on the next. I was blindsided by it's beauty.<br/><br/>Now, if you decide to read The Fault in Our Stars I have a few important tips:<br/><br/>1. No matter how cynical you think you are, keep a box of tissues handy. Only the soulless could be unmoved by this novel.<br/><br/>2. Read this where you can have some privacy, unless you are okay with suddenly sobbing and then laughing out loud in public.<br/><br/>3. Most importantly -- be open to the lessons this book has to teach, and be open to the emotions it will cause you to feel. It was, for me, a cathartic experience.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/ROV541ZDYGV31?ASIN=014242417X	Perfect Novel for Teens	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I am a high school literature teacher, and I read Fault in Our Stars and begged my school to buy the books for my students.  The school bought half the books, and I spent my own money for the other half. Absolutely, worth every penny. Watching even the  ""cool"" boys hide the open book under their papers because they couldn't stop reading was truly a gratifying experience.  Over and over I have assigned the classics, and no matter how exceptionally they are written, the students don't read them, and I drag the kids kicking and screaming through the chapters.  This bittersweet story with perfectly drawn, intelligent characters motivated my classes to read and keep reading. Often I heard the kids discussing it among themselves without a required assignment!! It is not a shallow read either;the book has symbolism, metaphor, complex plot,stellar vocabulary,and universal themes-all without a single supernatural gimmick. Whether a true hero's journey is from weakness to strength or strength to weakness is explored in this novel flawlessly; in addition, I could recommend it to all of my students without any fear that a parent would find some part of it inappropriate. Thank you, John Green! Finding a book that may really change one's outlook on life is so rare, but this novel does just that.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3993CGG4PLHY8?ASIN=014242417X	(Almost) No Fault in These Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I'm only a recent fan of John Green's video blog on youtube with his brother, Hank.  Having watched those videos for about a year now, I decided to take a chance on him and his new, young adult romance novel.  And I am very glad that I did.  This is NOT some winsome, fantastical young chick novel about true love that will never die because the lovers are immortal vampires (who wants to read about that?).  The characters are real, their love is real, and their story feels real.  The best part about this novel is that each character feels authentic.  There is no dumbing down of any of the characters at all.  They question the existence of God and heaven, the value of contemporary art and literature, and what the best kind of life should look like.  There is also honest, teenage discussions about sex and video games that anyone in the in demographic  age of 16-30 will recognize from their own high school years.  And the fact that each of the characters has cancer only intensifies the significance of each of their musings on life, death, and love.  I did feel that the climatic twist was a little too cliché, but Mr. Green certainly makes up for it in the last 70+ pages.  All in all, this is novel that young adults in the previously mentioned demographic range (and even older) will love.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Finally, a book about cancer that is not about bravery, grace in the face of death, the valiant struggle.

2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2RXIY8WR1OVDT?ASIN=014242417X	A funny and emotional read.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I don't know how many books I've read but none of them have touched me as quite  much as this book. Simply put John Green is a genius. I went into this book only knowing two things, that it was about cancer and according to all the reviews on Goodreads it would make me cry.<br/><br/>The reason I loved this book so much was because of Green's ability to create such fleshed out characters. Most times authors' focus only on the two main characters while giving the secondary characters dialogue here and there. Not John Green. Although the focus is on Hazel and Augustus we still get to meet the awesomness that is Hazel's mother. I like how she was a real character which isn't what we often see in YA.<br/><br/>The reason I put this book off for so long was because  I was afraid it would be depressing and boy was I wrong. John Green uses just the right amount of humor. The romance between Augustus and Hazel is so sweet. I loved how even though right off the bat they liked each other their relationship started with friendship first. Now I feel I should warn you that if you are going to read this you should probably invest in a box of tissues (because those Goodreads reviewers were right you will cry. Alot.). Also, don't read this on the bus (people will stare when you cry).</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3PN8FBLTNNT4E?ASIN=014242417X	Singlehandedly Reviving Contemporary YA	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is a novel that stands as a testament to the drama and tension of the world we live in, but the ending was less than I'd hoped. To get that little bit of unpleasantness out of the way, I felt that Peter Van Houten had far too large a role in this story and his very presence at the end managed to poison what was otherwise a very heartfelt and contemplative denouement. Sure, there are ways to possibly rationalize why someone would've behaved like that, but it just got unbelievable and he needed to have exited the story for good a few scenes earlier. Recommencing praise, the writing, characterization, and voice were all of the highest caliber, and it's a pleasure to have this coming from a story that doesn't feature superpowers or other paranormal/fantasy elements that have all but subsumed the YA genre. One last thing to quibble over, video games really became something of a crutch to form the setting as the story went on too. More could've been done to vary what the characters were doing while having their dialog, but overall the book struck just the right tone and had a substantial load of surprises, wit, and charm.<br/><br/>When it comes right down to it, this is a book that needs to be read. It's excellence defined and entertaining to boot. Bravo!</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1NHTASE19D9TS?ASIN=014242417X	I will never be able to read another book again.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">On the night I came upon The Fault in Our Stars, I was feeling rather down, and was looking for a book that would fit my mood, and possibly make me shed a few tears. I never expected to literally, Literally fall in love. I fell in love with every little detail of this book, and that is not something that I ever do. I read loads of books for fun, and have never come across anything that even comes within a mile of being as profound, witty, and touching as this book was. I had never read any of John Green's books, or even heard of him, so coming across his clever, intelligent, thought-provoking writing was basically a God-send. I don't know if words are able to describe how amazingly incredibly this book was, but this review, my first-ever, by the way, is my attempt to do just that. It doesn't matter if you don't like to read, because you will love this book. I mean, really, I honestly don't know anyone that couldn't. Anyways, if you are on the edge about reading this, don't be, because, quite frankly, you will be a better person for having read it. I don't know if I will ever be able to read another book again, because I know that this was one of those once-in-a-lifetime type of things, and I will never feel this way about a piece of literature again.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1C2UEA9ND4QZP?ASIN=014242417X	Intense and Moving	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is probably one of my favorite books. The characters are so utterly believable, and the plot moves at break-neck speeds. The entire book was rife with the intensity of the dying and the vitality of the living. Never have I felt more connected to a book on the very first page.<br/><br/>I'm not a huge review-writer, but I had to address some of the negative comments I saw. One review said that Green treated his characters more like metaphors than characters, while another said that nobody talks in the verbose, poetic way that they do. I would have to disagree. Because of Hazel's and Augustus's diseases, they have grown up more than kids their age. And while yes, their dialogue is very mature even for some adults, it is because they are searching for meaning behind the little things, because they will never go on to see the big things. They are experts in overanalyzing everything as a way of coping with not being able to  live their lives to the fullest.<br/><br/>The fake book inside the book, An Imperial Affliction, was genuis, the story was lyrical, the characters were hilarious, and it left me crying at the end. I would highly reccomend this to anyone who doesn't mind a tragic story.<br/><br/>I can't wait to read everything else John Green has come out with.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RKERBK8BJ4ZP2?ASIN=014242417X	I laughed, I cried, I cursed the stars.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">As usual, John Green has an uncanny knack to create characters that are so real you feel like once you close the book, you will be able to look to the seat next to you and see them there. John Green is the first author to have really made me cry, back when I first read ""Looking for Alaska"" about three years ago. I was determined not to let him take hold of my emotions again this time and play my heartstrings like some sort of crude pipe organ, but alas it is something that just can't be avoided. Hazel and Augustus are two people who you wish you could meet and know, and not being able to know them in real life is a feeling almost as ridiculous and futile as trying to control your destiny- but since we are all human, we try anyway.<br/><br/>I read this book in less than a week. I thought I'd be able to put it down here and there to switch back to my first post-high school reading of The Great Gatsby (which I can attribute the credit of said-reading to John Green) but it just was not possible. As much as I am enjoying the story of Nick Carraway and Jay Gatsby, Hazel Grace Lancaster and Augustus Waters drew me into their lives so much more fluidly and delightfully. Star-crossed and cancer-riddled, their story was one I just couldn't put on hold.</span>"

4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1NSFY5RZ9JDF3?ASIN=014242417X	I loved this book!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I would have loved it if Augustus would not have died. He was my favorite character. You never have loved a book character until you have loved Augustus. I cried so much when he died. I felt bad for Hazel Grace, as he called her. Something I want to know is why did he call her Hazel Grace, was it because he thought she was graceful. What happens to Hazel Grace after Gus dies. Did she live for a long time after that? Will she ever love someone ever again, like the way she loved Gus. To be honest I started reading it and I didn't want to finish it because I was guessing someone died, so I wanted to stop reading and make my own future for Hazel and Gus like they both got rid if their cancer, they had beautiful children, lived a long life and they figured out the next part of the book. This book was very touching and I can't wait to see the movie. But one thing I'm worried about is that in the movie they didn't make Hazel, Gus, and Isaac look the way I wanted them to look. If I could rewrite this book, I would make it have a happy ending, BUT nothing is really a happy ending. Finally I can't get over how much I love Gus, he was changed the way I look at things. I would recommend this to everyone, I really think the whole world should read this.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">""Pain demands to be felt...""<br/><br/>I am adding a new shelf after reading this book....Books that make you literally cry.<br/><br/>I was sobbing!!<br/><br/>This is about a group of friends that have one major thing in common...they all have cancer. Hazel is a 16 year old girl who has to depend on a oxygen tank for the rest of her life. She attends a cancer support group where she meets Augustus. Gus is an amazing boy who is now healthy because they cut off his leg to prevent the cancer from spreading. He is full of life, witty, good looking...and he is amazed by Hazel. He stares at her the first time he sees her though the entire support group meeting. They become friends and develop their relationship to more...they are witty and I found myself laughing at their dialogue. They are friends with Issac, another cancer patient, who had to have his eyes removed....can't these kids catch a break.<br/><br/>The ending is hurtful!! My heart hurt. I just couldn't deal with how when cancer progresses...changes a person much. Their spirit dies long before their body does...it was like a completely different person.<br/><br/>I don't think I can re-read this book because I can't go through that again but I recommend everyone read it once!!</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R359XGQRCKLZW?ASIN=014242417X	Infinitely AWESOME Masterpiece!!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I have read almost all of John Green's books. I have enjoyed them all, however this one I have fallen in love with. There are certain stories that touch us, not just while we're reading them, but touch us deep down in our very cores and undeniably change us forever. This is such a tale. Cancer has affected almost everyone in some way, we all know someone who is/has suffered from this. But cancer has reaped a particularly huge toll amongst my relatives and loved ones. I've been the primary care giver for them once they are put on hospice. If cancer were a person I would murder it in cold blood and never lose any sleep. That is how strongly I feel on the subject. So reading stories about cancer usually really bother me and upset me because they are all tragic but none have ever fully &amp; truly encompassed what it really means to deal with Cancer, long term from all prespectives while making the characters with Cancer into real world heroes and victims to be pitied. Hazel &amp; Augustus/Gus are real, they are visceral and tangible as any person I care to know. They are more real than some real people I've met. John Green is truly a master of his craft and like fine wine he will only get better as time goes on. DFTBA!<br/>~Some Girl in Oklahoma</span>"

3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R6VYV1YI3LOXG?ASIN=014242417X	Our Very Own J.D. Salinger	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">John Green is the closest thing we currently have to J.D. Salinger. This, of course, implies both his incredible strengths (getting inside the heads of precocious young people and using their pain for powerful metaphorical purposes) and his occasional weaknesses (no one really talks as cleverly as his characters do, and his stories can occasionally get a bit twee with Manic Pixie Dream Girls (see, for example, ""Paper Towns"")). However, when he is on (most notably in the fantastic  ""An Abundance of Katherines"" and in his newest book ""The Fault in Our Stars"") he is the best YA writer on the planet. ""The Fault in Our Stars"" is a dark, romantic comedy about precocious teenagers (natch) who are cancer patients (wait, what?). Oh, and did I mention that it is so ridiculously entertaining that you will read the book in a single sitting, no matter how little time you may have?  The spectre of death hangs over these kids in a way that most authors would never dare, but the warmth and humor and depth of emotion that Green brings to the table is nothing short of incredible. I challenge anyone reading this book not to immediately start recommending it to their friends the moment they put it down.  Cannot recommend it highly enough.</span>"

The teenage sex is disturbing but not exalted - it was one time.  This story is about a friendship between several teens with cancer.  A tear jerker for sure!</span>"

The author draws you in and you really get emotionally invested in the characters. My only complaint is that it ended too abruptly. Also, Shaillene Woodley is not who I pictured for Hazel.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This novel was so well written and you couldn't help but just fall in love with the characters. The only critique I have is that it was sometimes hard to believe that you were reading a teenage narrator's words.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1G5TICOP88LHU?ASIN=014242417X	It just pulls at your heartstrings in the most wonderful way	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I have written, deleted, and re written my review at least six times already. There are not enough words and positive adjectives filled with rainbows and unicorns to describe how amazing this book is.<br/><br/>I don't normally cry while reading books or watching films. Hell, I didn't even cry during 'the notebook'. In fact, I hated that film, but that's not the point. The point is that when I finished this book, I had nearly gone through an entire box of tissues. Not to say that this book is depressing and makes you want to slit your wrists and die, it just pulls at your heartstrings in the most wonderful way. It makes you wish that these amazing young adults that have been created with the most eloquent and beautiful words, these strong, amazing kids that you have fallen so much in love with were real, so that you could hug them as tight as you possibly could and tell them that you will remember them. That you will tell their story and that they won't be forgotten.<br/><br/>Well, dear reader, I haven't forgotten them, and I'm highly/ forcefully suggesting that you read their story, Hazel's story. It's a roller coaster of emotion, so hold on tight and be prepared to fall in love with this book.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RYL1CHLVEOD62?ASIN=014242417X	John Green is a new favorite for me!!! :D	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in our Stars was in my reading list for books to read for school. Initially, I was NOT at all excited to read this book because it was not something I usually read, and I did not want to read about someone who seems cool and ends up dying with lung cancer. But this book was such a SHOCK to me! It was a quick read for me because I ABSOLUTELY LOVED this book. After finishing the book, I could not stop thinking about it. I told my mom, dad, grammy, EVERYONE that they HAD to read this book. Hazel, in the novel, is not depressed at all having cancer, but is totally cool and real with everyone and who she is. I LOVED Augustus in this book, he made me laugh and cry to the point where I  almost sobbed! I NEVER cried when reading a book, and I'm a REALLY sensitive girl. This book is now one of my favorites, and I want to read more of John Green to see if he can captivate me like the way he did with the characters and this story. I'm SOOOO glad this book was on my reading list or I would have never read this masterpiece! I don't care who you are, but EVERYONE has to read this book! It shows you no matter how bad life can be at times, it's best to strive forward with your head up and a smile! :)</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1FNXYS2H5JH7W?ASIN=014242417X	John Green does it again! Thumbs up	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Such a great story!! John Green captivates and keeps the reader laughing and crying throughout the entire book. Then again, if you're reading a John Green book, you should already know what you're getting into.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R32FSSUAUO5C57?ASIN=014242417X	good read, heartbreaking and honest	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This was a fast read and it goes right into the story. It is unpredictable and heartbreaking. The topic of death is ever-present, but I still smiled and while reading a lot of the book. Just how life is I guess</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1C6H0QAQ8EI9N?ASIN=014242417X	Poignant, hopeful, and NOT SAPPY	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I really don't have the words to express how much I loved this book. On the surface, it's an ill-fated love story. But that hardly scratches the surface. This book is about life and living life to the fullest while facing the inevitability of mortality and oblivion.<br/><br/>I fell in love with Augustus Waters on the very first page he appeared.<br/><br/>John Green is one hell of a writer. Not only did he capture a teenage girl's voice perfectly, he also has that uncanny ability to make me laugh and cry at the same time. It's not easy to simultaneously break one's heart and offer healing, but John Green can do that. And he did it so very well.<br/><br/>To be honest, I put off reading this book for nearly two months because I was afraid of reading some Debbie Downer book that I couldn't handle at the current point of my life. I heard ""cancer"" and immediately thought of Lurlene McDaniels and how I used to read her books and bawl until I couldn't see anymore.<br/><br/>This is not the same sort of story.<br/><br/>There is cancer, yes. There is also reality. But there is also love. And there is life.<br/><br/>It's really the best kind of book.<br/><br/>It will definitely get a reread.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2Z574HZ6IC125?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Oh, how much I loved this book.  There really are not words to describe the way this book made me feel.  It was pretty much amazing.<br/><br/>Hazel and Augustus...what do you say about them?  They are fictional characters, but they are amazingly well penned out fictional characters.  I loved Hazel.  She was strong and funny and sarcastic.  I really enjoyed being inside her head.  She was so young but seemed so old, trying to just get through to the end without causing too much trouble.  Augustus was the opposite.  He was trying not to be forgotten.  I loved his character, his jokes, his way of looking at life.<br/><br/>You know going it that this book is going to be a tear-jerker, and even though you've prepared yourself for it, it still hits you like you were living it...like you were living with them.  The characters were amazingly life-like.  You can't help falling in love with them, feeling joy and happiness for them, feeling pain and sadness for them.  I loved that the author was able to put so much depth and feeling into his book and open the reader's eyes to the ups and downs of other people's lives.  Is this book really realistic?  I have no clue.  But to me, it was close enough.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1OG8VEUIZ44YI?ASIN=014242417X	None	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">As a Nerdfighter, I would probablyapprove of just about anything John Green wrote (like the wildly popular Zombicorns), but The Fault In Our Stars is truly incredible. When I got it I literally could not put it down and I ended up reading the entire book after school one day, knowing full well that I would be staying up past 4 AM trying to finish all of my homework because of it. No regrets. John Green made me feel completely immersed in the story and has the rare ability to make you burst out laughingin the middle of crying like a baby then turn you around and choke off your laughter with a sudden bout of tears. The book is an emotional rollercoaster, but that shouldn't deter anyone from reading it. John certainly didn't sugarcoat Hazel's experiences, but he didn't go with the typical ""let's take the most dramatic and tear-jerking plotline possible,"" approach of most cancer books either. He tells it like it is and makes you laugh and cry while making you rethink your view of the world. This is without a doubt the best book I've read in a very very long time. If you are reading this review and haven't read the book yet, buy the book. Right now. You won't regret it.<br/><br/>DFTBA!</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R30OFTW7997AGB?ASIN=014242417X	I was scared of this book.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I waited a long time for this book I preordered it months in advance. I knew what I was in for but that still did not prepare me for it. This book scared me after I read the first few pages I put it down and didn't touch it for over a month I would stare at it everyday but I couldn't read it. Here is why this book talks about Cancer (this is just a small part of what this book is about) but at the mention of Cancer I pulled the eject cord and I WAS OUT! My husband has Kidney Cancer I've lost three other family members to Cancer I was sick of hearing or reading about it. But I came back because I wasn't going to let Cancer take anything else away from me including this book that I had been waiting months for. I'm thankful that I won that battle because this book is amazing and to have missed out on it would have been a huge regret to me. I feel this book should be put on required reading lists at every school that has required reading lists. In my 29 years of life I've read around 300 books and I would with out a doubt say The fault in our stars is in my Top ten favorite list. So if you're reading this review and you want to know if you should get this book my answer is Yes!</span>"

Easy to read and it goes quickly.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3MBNZ10767MQT?ASIN=014242417X	Not what it was cracked up to be	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I chose this book because of the movie coming out and also because I heard about this girl who read this book and couldn't stop crying. I read very frequently and in my opinion this book was not a page-turner, highly interesting, or wonderfully sad like I thought it would be. Since there are many peculiar words used in almost every other sentence, this book did not flow easily. It is an ok love story but nothing spectacular. I'm hoping the movie is better then the book but that just goes to show you how bad the book is when the movie has a definite chance of exceeding. I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone, it's just very dull.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1AFJPCNYMN6EH?ASIN=014242417X	A really good (and quick) read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I liked this book a great deal. I'll include some mild SPOILERS below - nothing specific, but just to give some detail on the story I'll tell you what it's about.<br/><br/>This book deals with terminal illness, first love, child/parent relationships and disappointment.  It was an engrossing book that I read quickly.  I was not 100% satisfied with the ending, but it was pretty close.  I thought I had figured out where it was going a few times and, while I was correct about some elements, I was wrong about others.  Overall, for popular fiction it was much better than average.<br/><br/>The book raised some interesting issues and the author developed some really good characters.  I was thoroughly into it while reading and kept thinking about them when I was done.  There were a few little moments that raised an eyebrow for me, but overall - it all hung together well.  As an aside, reading the FAQs on the authors website was somewhat disappointing - I did so after finishing the book and kinda wished I hadn't.<br/><br/>All in all - this is not exactly a new classic, but it is a really good read.  I'm giving it 5 stars in the category of popular fiction.</span>"
1.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RR8SDE012DLJ0?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing, Captivating Story!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">John Green made a MASTERPIECE! I was completely captivated. At times, I wanted to put it away and never finish it. But this book is too good for that. It involves pain AND joy, and it's the best book I've ever read.<br/>The Fault in Our Stars is about a teenage girl with terminal cancer. The tumors' progress has been stopped with an experimental drug, but that only gives her a little more time. This girl, Hazel Grace, meets a boy, Augustus Waters.<br/>""Look, let me just say it: He was hot. A nonhot boy stares at you relentlessly and it is, at best, awkward and, at worst, a form of assault. But a hot boy...well.""<br/>Augustus had cancer and now has a prosthetic leg. Augustus is perfect (okay, to me). He refuses to stop loving Hazel, even though the end is not too far away. This is more than the typical love story. There's a plot twist you won't ever see coming. The book was super sweet and super sad. I can't wait to reread it, though the first experience is the best. YOU NEED TO READ THIS BOOK!<br/>P.S. Sorry, I've made it sound very depressing. But the book is definitely worth it and I'm sorry if I've done it injustice and made it seem too gloomy.</span>"

2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1FNP8957H0BEP?ASIN=014242417X	Wow. The Fault is in My Tear Ducts	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">John Green, you sir know how to write. Plain and simple. This happened to be my first venture into a John Green novel, and no sooner did I wipe away the tears of the this book did I download his full anthology. This book had everything I look for in a YA novel, or any book for that matter. The characters were real for me. Mr. Green develops his characters extremely well, and the reader genuinely cares for what happens to them. The plot moves quickly and is effortlessly paced. As you probably know, the novel is at its core about two cancer patients who fall in love. But for me, the book became so much more than that. I don't want to give anything away, but I really took the book's message to heart. I have not read a book that has affected me like this one has in a very long time. As I referenced earlier, I am not afraid to admit that this book drew a few tears from me by the turn of the last page. I enjoyed every minute of this book, and I have heard the same from everyone that I have recommended it to. Please read this book. You will not regret that you did. I am not sure I will ever be able to forget Stars.<br/><br/>Stay Classy Amazon!</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1MBL8Z78R1S12?ASIN=014242417X	Tears in my eyes as I write this.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I literally finished this book less than a minute ago and am now rushing to write this review.<br/><br/>When I first heard of this book I thought ""Here's another writer who's going to write about cancer so that even if the book sucks people will say they love it because they lost someone to cancer."" I was dead wrong.<br/><br/>This book is about Hazel, a teenage girl with cancer that has left her hooked to an oxygen tube for the rest of her life, however long that may be. While attending a support group that she hates, Hazel meets another teenager named Augustus Waters who changes her world.<br/><br/>The story revolves around their relationship with one another and a book that Hazel introduces Augustus to, a book that takes them halfway across the world for answers.<br/><br/>I don't think it's possible to finish this book with a dry eye but it's worth shedding a few tears to finish this. John Green is my new hero for writing this book, he really delved inside of his characters and what it is to be a teenager dying from cancer. I have to finish writing this review now so that I can call my mom and tell her to read this book too.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2FFAMFSY9TW2I?ASIN=014242417X	Emotional Exhausting (for me anyway)	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I started reading this book not knowing what it was going to be about and no real expectations other than others had said it was good. I really didn't know what to expect. But I was pleasantly surprised at the book. It is now one of my favorites of all-time.<br/>Books have always seemed to make me cry more than movies do. For me, people get way more emotional invested into books than movies because you get to see the thoughts behind their actions and not just their actions (at least in most books). This book was no exception.  The last few chapters I couldn't get through without an onslaught of tears. So if you're thinking of reading that in school, don't. I made the mistake of reading an intense book during school and it was almost a disaster. Unless you're okay with people seeing you cry over book, then go right ahead.<br/>I've read some cancer books before this one and they weren't really up to par with this one. I may be reading the wrong books, but that's life. I had tried to read Before I Die by Jenny Downham but I just couldn't get into it like I did with this one.<br/>To wrap all of that up, read the book. It's very good:)</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3BU97GDG1GYDT?ASIN=014242417X	Trite book about cancer	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This was just ok for me.<br/><br/>Ok, don't get me wrong, I'm not heartless or anything. Yes, this book did make me cry and the tears flowed at all the right parts of the book that it should have.<br/><br/>Cancer SUCKS. It really does.<br/><br/>It's just that...I didn't LIKE the characters of this book. I think that I just couldn't relate to them. I wanted to, really I did. Just so much happened to these kids at such a young age, they will miss their whole lives not experiencing things, not living life, but yet...they seem so wise. Cliché I know.<br/><br/>Bottom line: I think there was so much hype around this book because of the subject matter. A kid with cancer meets more kids with cancer and bond because everyone is dying. It's kind of a hard subject matter to go through; the emotional rollercoaster of watching someone you love slowly die and then being that same person who is dying watching your loved ones watch you wither away. It's a hard, touchy subject. Kudos to John Green, but like I said, this book was just ok for me. I just feel like this was done before, in every OTHER book about cancer.

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RA8OWP0AF1E5E?ASIN=014242417X	Funny and Heartbreaking	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I loved this book.  One of the best books I've read in quite some time.  A funny, heartwarming and heartbreaking read! From the summary, you would expect it to be a sad novel and while it does have its heartbreaking moments, it was a funny book to read. The writing is just wonderful and refreshing. I loved each and every character in this novel with the exception of one (you'll know who I'm talking about when you read this book). I could feel and understand each of their emotions to what life had thrown at them. One of my favorite quotes from this book is  'some infinities are bigger than other infinities'. Some events or people hold a bigger place in your heart and will stay with you forever more so than other events or people. Some people are with you for a short period of your life but they affect you in ways that change you and make you someone different. I just love that, and I am so glad that I came across this book.<br/><br/>Like with Hazel's favorite book, I also want a sequel and want to ask the author what happens next - but I doubt we'll ever get those answers.<br/><br/>I absolutely recommend this book to everyone.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RNE7GP5PJ6QVL?ASIN=014242417X	god, if I could give it 10 stars I would	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Have a more perfect book ever been written? I loved this book. Too much. While I sit here crying I feel happy because they had each other but sad at the same time. This book was utterly brilliant.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R22VARINROCG8H?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in Our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The book was simply written and the character development was questionable.  Although, the reality of the situations were noteworthy.  Half of our book group loved it and the others felt as I did.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1GQG5DTEFG86?ASIN=014242417X	Coincidence	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I'd read John Green's Paper Towns before reading this book, so I was anxious to see if it was as good as Paper Towns, and boy was it. I had read the last page before reading the book. Why? Because I like to make guesses about what happens in the book based off of what the last page says and let's just say that my guess was completely off in a sad and bittersweet way. I thoroughly enjoyed reading from Hazel's point of view because we think alike in some respects and it's really nice to find someone who thinks like I do, even if they're not actually real or not. The strange thing about this book is I lent it to my mother once I was done with it, and while she was reading it (she's a nurse) had a patient admitted that had the same issues as Augustus right down to the very small details surrounding him. He was the same age as Gus was, too, and ultimately had the same fate that Gus does. This book is a tear-jerker at some moments and makes you think about what your legacy will be when you leave Earth, whether you usually have those thoughts or not. If you haven't read this book before, I highly recommend it.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R36WRZR1NZ39YX?ASIN=014242417X	I loved it, I hated it	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">First of all, this book is beautifully written.  The characters are charming, unique, unquestionably sweet and likable.  The plot is unique, and the situation draws you in like a train wreck that you don't want to see but can't look away from.<br/><br/>From the get-go you know that there is no possibility for a happy ending, as Hazel is terminal.  And from the get-go you know... you just know.... that something tragic is going to unfold that is going to leave you sobbing into your hanky.  And yet I read it any way.<br/><br/>And I wish that I hadn't.  I get no enjoyment out of books that leave me mourning for characters that didn't make it to the very end.  I loathe books that make me cry, make me think of friends and family who have passed, and make me yearn for a world in which there was no cancer.  I hate being that invested in fiction to the point where I am sad for the loss of imaginary people and my heart aches for imaginary parents.<br/><br/>If you love a tear jerker and pathos and exquisite agony, then you will love this book.  If you're more of a fan of happy endings, read something else.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RWSI0NON1F7WY?ASIN=014242417X	My favorite book of 2012!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Hazel and Augustus are teenaged cancer survivors who meet at a kids cancer survivor group. They are immediately attracted to one another. These are not normal teenagers...their disease has caused them to mature in ways that most of us can not imagine. Despite their realistic world view (or perhaps because of it), they each have a wickedly fun sense of humor that may cause you to laugh out loud. Along with Hazel and Augustus, we also meet their parents and friends who are just as humorous and lovable. It is nearly impossible not to feel affection for all of these characters.<br/><br/>We are permitted to watch the relationship between Hazel and Augustus grow, and what an honor it is. I really don't want to say much about the plot for fear of spoiling it for anyone. But trust me, this book will make you laugh and cry like a baby...have a box of tissues on hand when you read it. You may also want to jot down some of the very quotable things these characters say for later reflection. It is a phenomenal book. John Green is a genius. I absolutely loved this book and may read it again in the future.</span>"

4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R213T7CQM7LJZ7?ASIN=014242417X	Suckered!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">All right, I admit it, I got suckered into this. I'm a sucker for autographed copies and it had a fine quote by Judi Picoult on the cover and Wal-Mart was selling it at a deep discount. So what if I never heard of the guy? Then I get home and find out is is ""young adult"" lit which I never read, not even Harry Potter, and worse it is about young adults dying of cancer, which topic I avoid since it depresses the hell out of me. (Then I find out he signed a bazillion of them and I was tripping over signed copies at every book store I went into. I got the only one at that Wal-Mart and thought I had something special.) Well, I decided to give it my 50 page test - any book is entitled to that, and got hooked.<br/><br/>The writing is masterful and the story and characters interesting. Yes, it has some moments that rip your heart out and bring tears to your eyes but it has some great humor and high points. The pure humanity of it just put me away.<br/><br/>So, John, thanks for a great read. I don't know if our paths will cross again but it was a fine experience to have them cross this once.</span>"

4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2QGNAHAZMPNCU?ASIN=014242417X	Excellent Book for Adults Too!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">As a physician, I am always a little skeptical of books about people struggling with major illness.  I am skeptical because I find most books about illness are about that and nothing more -- the characters never become anything more than their disease.  Which is why I was so pleasantly surprised by this book.  Whenever I recommend this book to friends I try to explain, ""It's a book about teenagers with cancer, but its not really about the cancer at all.""  I think the book is so heartfelt because the character feel like people to me first, and cancer patients distant second.<br/><br/>Although the book is technically written for young adults, people of all ages will be able to appreciate John Green's talent for words and wit.  I found the only times that I wanted to put this book down were when I needed to write down a quote here or a passage there that I didn't want to forget.  There are lines in this book that are worth remembering.  Lines that will stick with you.  This is John Green's best work to date and a great read for both young adults and not-so-young-adults alike.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R26WKM9VY7EIX4?ASIN=014242417X	sincere and raw	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">""The Fault In Our Stars"" is phenomenal and I don't mean that in a lame, fangirly way, it really is a fantastic book that captures what it means to be a teenager, to be a girl, and, I can only assume, to have cancer. The book manages to depict Hazel Grace Lancaster, a sixteen year old girl who happens to have cancer, as a smart girl who is dying of cancer who does not hold all the mystical secrets of the meaning of life- she is a normal girl who is pissed off that her life is being cut short. Hazel and, consequently, Augustus Waters' journey is full of joy and tears, but it is not a picturesque love, as the traditional ""cancer book"" would have it- nobody dies in the arms of the person they love, there is no ""fighting together"", there is only Hazel, reliant on pharmaceutical drugs and the scheduled draining of the fluid in her lungs to keep her alive, Augustus, with his ""one point four legs"" and ""An Imperial Affliction"". John Green's latest novel is honestly a great book- buy it, read it, make your friends read it. He even signed the whole first printing for us! DFTBA!!!!</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2ZZ75Q4LK6WXO?ASIN=014242417X	Logically Remarkable:	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The title of this review is an oxymoron because I felt it was deep enough to at least come close to accurately representing this book.<br/><br/>Let me start by saying this book is a tear jerker but meaning full and definitely a good one.<br/><br/>Its more challenging then most things I've read (I'm 14) but I really enjoyed it. It challenges you enough to make you really think, about life, death, everything in between, and if there really is much in between...or if it even matters.<br/><br/>The main characters are unusual and peculiar but they make you laugh. Not cheap humour but pure unadulterated comedy. Yet it still manages to portray serious topics in a way that makes you really care.<br/><br/>The book has a spectacular plot. Unique and extremely creative! Rich with love and honestly creating a characters life that makes you marvel at the depth of some peoples (John Greens)imagination.<br/><br/>To put it simply I loved it but I cannot describe it accurately . It wouldn't sound right. You must simply read it and form your own opinion !!</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1C5R72FPG5PAN?ASIN=014242417X	This is a special book!  No spoilers review.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">John Green has a new fan!  He was able to give the characters intelligent and mature voices while simultaneously maintaining their youth and innocence.  I have no idea how he was able to strike such a perfect balance, but I loved every word of the dialogue between Hazel and Gus.  I believed them and I believed in their love.  This book is truly a gem.  My husband asked me what it was about and didn't quite understand my reply.  I said, ""it's a funny, witty book about a kid that has cancer.""  The next day, he found me curled up with my kindle, sobbing uncontrollably.  (well, maybe that's a little dramatic...but you get the picture)  It's the kind of book that makes you feel an array of emotions and has you wondering what the characters are up to when you are away from them.  I'm in my 30's and have just recently started reading YA.  If this is any indication of what the genre has to offer, than I've really been missing out.  I just started An Abundance of Katherines and I'm adoring it so far.  Read this book!  You'll be happy and sad that you did.</span>"

2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R18FVMZZMU67IH?ASIN=014242417X	Such an incredible book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I loved this book. It grabbed me from the first page and never let me go. The story is so gripping and relatable, both heartbreaking and hopeful, that I was sorry when it ended. The writing is rich and well-crafted. The story is not maudlin at all even though the subject matter, kids with cancer, seems like it might be depressing. It is not a depressing book but rather a wonderful lesson in living life to the fullest, grabbing opportunities whenever you can while realizing that life will never be perfect. The optimism and reality is this book are mixed deftly and I never thought of the characters as victims of a disease but as normal teenagers with real lives apart from their cancer. And the adult characters are also wonderful--no ogres, no cliches just real people dealing with their children's illnesses and their successes. I know want to read everything John Green  has ever written. I can't imagine how he could have created the world in The Fault In Our Stars, his vision and voice are just amazing. I recommend this book whole-heartedly.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2UY4UAQRWNRPY?ASIN=014242417X	Excellent, excellent, excellent	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I'd like to preface this in that I am beyond the ""young adult"" grouping by about 10 years.  However, I do work in medicine and I thought that a book about a teen with a terminal illness would be a good aid in helping me understand and empathize with some of my patients.  Having that said, this book did that and much much more.<br/><br/>I've read in some of the previous comments that the teenagers are not written like teenagers, but older.  In John Green's defense, he was writing about teenagers facing real adult issues, like dying.  This would emotionally age these character immensely, making this book much more believable.  I think he justified it well when he was quoting Otto Frank at the Anne Frank museum - how parents may be close to their children, but may not really know them.<br/><br/>Overall, I think that this book, although fiction, was an incredible depiction of a horrific situation - children with cancer.  I think it did these children/teens a remarkable service by proving that they are much more than their disease.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1TMQ1OS8945KU?ASIN=014242417X	John Green is a hero	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">A few weeks ago my friend and her daughter were visiting.  We wanted to watch a movie, and as we were scrolling through the pages of options her daughter said ""My Girl, let's watch that.""  I said ""Isn't that sad?""  and in unison without hesitation they both said ""No.""  An hour and ten minutes later, through my snotty sobs, I cursed them both.  I don't ""do"" deliberately sad.  I REALLY don't do deliberately sad with kids.  I've never seen Bambi.<br/><br/>The only reason I read this book is because John Green wrote it, and I love John Green.  He did a really good thing with this book.  He reminded people that sick kids are still kids.  He did it with humor, and with a very good understanding of ""kids today.""  It was gut-wrenchingly sad.  More sad than it needed to be frankly, and the kids were a tinge over-precocious, even for kids who had to grow up really fast, but it's still an outstanding book.<br/><br/>I'm totally going to buy a copy of this book for my friends.  In the inscrption I'm going to write ""It's not sad.""  Suckas.</span>"

4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1FEHF96AKODHL?ASIN=014242417X	Too tough of a subject for me.... but great story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">A coworker of mine said this book was just amazing and after seeing all of these great reviews, I had to try.  I have VERY mixed feelings about how I feel about this book.  I read to be entertained - not to feel sad or like my gut is being ripped out.  The writing is superb.  The characters are very funny and their dialog back and forth is snappy, clever - not cheesy or boring.  The parents are wonderful ""people"" - I only wish I could be as good of parents as they are in such a tough situation with their daughter sick....<br/>However, it's just a ridiculously sad book.  I would never pick up a story about someone's battle with cancer. I lost my father and most recently my best friend to cancer and it really made me sad to read this.  But I almost wish I could have past this story on to her to read - since the book tries to make comedy out of it and shows how you can live has hard as you can even as your body is dying.  I know I could never read this again but I'm not mad that I did....</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3C5EU3ILGZL0S?ASIN=014242417X	What a fantastic book! I highly recommend it!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is the first John Green novel I have read and really had no idea what to expect considering that I knew the story dealt with cancer and I was already familiar with him from his Youtube channel ""The Vlog Brothers"". Nerdy humor about cancer? Well, yes there was quite a bit of that, but what I was not prepared for was the level of writing and humanity in TFiOS. The story was beautiful, honest, and every bit as joyous as it was heartbreaking. The characters were vivid and clear and full of enough faults and strengths to make them enchantingly real. And that nerdy cancer humor offered a candid look at the world through the eyes of someone terminally ill. I've lost someone dear to me, not from cancer, but an equally horrific illness, and I found TFiOS to capture all the love, futility, pain, and beauty of an heroic human spirit battling it's way out of it's broken, failing container. This is a profound book full of humanity and depth that will be well worth rereading from time to time.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2SMR6ZWOYAS2S?ASIN=014242417X	Just okay	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Maybe it is because the book and movie were hyped so much, but I found the book underwhelming. It was ok, but I didn't find it great and I probably won't read it a second time.</span>"

4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R31QLHDXO8FO1Y?ASIN=014242417X	Meaningful as it is Relatable	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars is an extraordinary book. I have no doubt that the book would hit home with painful sincerity for any terminally ill girls, but you don't have to fit these characteristics to love and cherish the story. You don't have to be female, have terminal cancer or be in love to relate to the characters in this novel; they were written with such personality and rich development that anyone could see themselves there, in the same situation, acting the same way. These characters aren't just stereotypes, used to represent an idea to further the plotline and the moral agenda of the author; they're real, rich characters- so much so that their impending loss carries with it the same weight as if you were losing a close friend. Don't think that means the book is a depressing traverse through tragedy, though. This is a book of hope, not despair; hope even when it seems like somebody has no reason for it. And for that, it's as beautiful as the stars- faulty though they may be.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RC36NXSCO54NW?ASIN=014242417X	No Faults in this Book!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I just finished this book after a student recommended it to me. He was so enthusiastic about it, I had to give it a try. Since I am an English teacher and have read nothing else by the author, I wasn't expecting ""great literature,"" but a satisfying, easy read along the lines of The Hunger Games (which I loved, but it's not literary genius or anything).  I say without hesitation that this book is a masterpiece that ranks right up there with Catcher in the Rye.  I was stunned at every turn in this book. There were so many opportunities for this author to take clichéd, easy roads, but he just never did.  The voices of the characters and the supporting characters were just brilliant. This book contains some of the best lines about life and death I've ever read while still maintaining the believable voice of a teenager.  I cannot say enough about how stunned I am about the brilliance of this author. I don't even want to read another book for a while! I know it would be disappointing!</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1R1XCK28EDFXQ?ASIN=014242417X	A true infinity	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Most people would write this review and use an abundance of exceptionally long words that push you to crack open a dictionary and perhaps your vocabulary will expand. Also, in the hopes that king himself, (John Green) would notice it from the piles of tiresomely heavy worded reviews and spare a day to track them down so they could enjoy a cup of tea over soft music in a secluded cafe, raving over the subliminal meaning that ink cannot capture. I like to think that I am not among that crowd. But I do want to just tell any unlikely candidates who are contemplating reading this ""book"" that it is not a collection of words selectively gathered and mass produced for the enjoyment of a million readers to appreciate then throw behind them and dismiss is yet another unfathomability that is burned into the back of our memories. But it is a true infinity not captured, but captivated and falsely presumed by an audience striving for critiques. I've accepted this infinity. I hope you can .</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1VJ0JQ3J9S77?ASIN=014242417X	Pitch-perfect.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is the second book I've read by John Green. The first was Looking for Alaska, which is one of my true favourites. I've never been one to read much YA literature, even when I was a young adult. For some reason the books on the YA Lit shelf never rung true with me. But John Green gets it. He writes for people, not just young adults. His characters just happen to be in that age range.<br/><br/>That said, this book was phenomenal. I read it in one sitting, something I've only done twice in my life (this being the second time.) I laughed, I cried, but mostly I just cried. While this book is ridiculously sad, it's also full of inspiration and hope. Very bittersweet. The characters were sympathetic and well-rounded, and the situation was real. Being someone who has taken care of a dying person, I never once felt like the author was trying to gloss over certain aspects. It's all here.<br/><br/>If you read this, have a box of tissues handy. The tears are completely worth it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3MIVQPXTB25GP?ASIN=014242417X	Magnificent	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Every book of John Green's has come out has done so at a time in my life when I needed it most. It's taught me some valuable lesson that has helped me in life and this book is no different. I'm not going to delve into the plot of the book, you can look to someone else for that. I'm just going to state the reasons why I love this book. Except that words can't describe how much this book means to me. I can't find the words to say how I love this book, or how fun it was to stay up until 4AM reading this, laughing and crying and smiling and just living through these events with the characters. It takes a book that is really special for me to forget all of my troubles, forget that I'm reading a book and just be there as things are happening. It takes a really special book for me to forget all the suck that happened in a day and just focus on John's wonderful prose that mixes humor with sadness, tragedy with reality and never once feels trite or anything but real.<br/><br/>DFTBA<br/><br/>-Greg</span>"

I cried at the end. It was such a powerful ending though. This isn't like other romance novels I read, it has a lot more real emotion put into it. Some people have been calling it twilight with cancer but personally I think it is nothing like Twilight. Twilight is about a love triangle between Bella, Jacob and Edward, a paranormal romance novel about a girl who acts weak and relies on her sparkly vampire boyfriend(husband)Twilight is completely different, The fault in Our stars is a lot less predictable and more short and sweet. I highly reccomend this novel, they already have announced that they are casting for the movie, Shailene Woodley plays Hazel and Ansel Elgort will be Agustus.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2T5ROZF2AWV7A?ASIN=014242417X	It's hard to be funny when you're writing a YA book about cancer	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">YA books are often so self-serious, particularly ones about dark subject matter. But this book was hilarious and so wholly original, written in a voice I'd never before encountered in YA literature. Like, it was really HILARIOUS. Even after tragic scenes I found myself laughing out loud in a moment's time. But it didn't distract from the story -- it enhanced it. The humor helped to make the disturbing subject matter that much more poignant.<br/><br/>The characters were flawless -- realistic, relatable, inspiring, so very ""teenaged"" and yet wise beyond their years. I'm amazed by Green's intriguing and thought-provoking themes, macro and micro -- masterfully woven both across the entire book and within little scenelits.<br/><br/>There was no wasted space, no wasted sentence, just writing jam-packed with brilliance. Read this book. Today.<br/><br/>As for my rating? The fault, dear Brutus, is in the Amazon stars; if I could, I would award fifty instead of five.</span>"

4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RF1HKJ88J42C3?ASIN=014242417X	Heartbreaking and Beautiful	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">*No Spoilers*<br/><br/>I preordered this book and went to John Green's signing, so I was left with two copies of the book. I'm so glad I was, though, because I have one to read over and over, and one to circulate between my friends. I really do love this book that much.<br/><br/>For me, this book wasn't about dying and death. Don't get me wrong, there was a LOT of discussion about death, but I felt that was more in relation to life itself. And I loved the discussion about death as much as I loved Hazel talking about life--she wonders the same things that I do, and makes the wondering itself less taboo. I think Hazel is a beautiful character. She has quirks and problems and things she likes, and Hazel is consistent throughout the book, even when everything around her is changing.<br/><br/>All in all, I thought this book was exciting, beautiful, and above all inspiring. I believe it is a must-read for everyone.<br/><br/>DFTBA.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RXIQN3SV8JTK3?ASIN=014242417X	Deeply in love with this book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I finished reading ""The Fault in Our Stars"" a couple of days ago, but the emotional resonance of the book is still strong. John Green's Hazel tells us from the outset that she is dying, but this book isn't about dying or even about cancer, though several of the characters have cancer. This book is about life and love. I found myself reading some parts with a throat tight from the effort not to bawl out loud, and then turning the page only to bark with laughter.<br/><br/>I feel about this book the way Hazel and Gus feel about An Imperial Affliction. I almost don't want to tell people about it because it feels so intensely, personally mine. That's the thing about great literature, though, sharing it doesn't diminish your connection to it.<br/><br/>Making it to the top of my favorite books list is not easy, but this book rocketed there. I want to read it again and again, but I need to wait. The emotions are still too raw right now.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RBYP1KG2CO4MJ?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in Ourselves	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Having had a neuromuscular disorder all my life, I did not grow up in the way most people do. I'm not saying that my way of growing up was either good or bad, simply that it was my way. This fact-that our experiences are neither good nor bad bad but simply are (that they are good only in the sense that life is worth being lived)-was made fresh to me by The Fault in Our Stars. I found this book to be witty, gripping, and downright brilliant. Ill people, it says with delightful sarcasm, are not especially courageous and admirable for trying to live despite the obstacles they have to face. It is in the nature of every living being to do this. Early in the book, Hazel sums up her own and everyone else's reason for being: ""I like being a person, and I want to keep at it."" The fault, in other words, does not lie in the obstacles themselves but in the all-too-human failure to realise that surmounting obstacles is a natural part of life.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1W1ZRRIN94TUW?ASIN=014242417X	A Sad, Very Human Cancer Book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I really like John Green's writing. This is the first of his novels I have read, but he is a co-author of Will Grayson, Will Grayson and I thoroughly enjoyed it. John Green's writing feels very realistic and is chocked full of fun references and quirky thoughts. The characters in The Fault in Our Stars are all very real. Most of the characters have cancer and the ways they deal with it are unique and interesting.<br/><br/>This novel is definitely a sad cancer book, but Green's writing connected me so well with the characters. The novel without an ending within the book that connects the main characters really adds to the story. The novelist in the Netherlands was one of my favorite characters. There are so many thought provoking topics brought up in this book.<br/><br/>I suggest this book to EVERYONE. I will definitely be purchasing more of John Green's novels.

Out of all that I have read...none captured my heart and attention quite like this one. I've never been so captivated in the storyline or so emotionally invested in the characters that I actually shed tears when they are no longer a being of fictional proportion. I am 16, just like Hazel I feel as though I can identify with the feeling of being in love. But yet, I am not near as ""strong"" which I presume is a word she would scoff at, thinking it cliche. I do not know the struggles of cancer...but I feel as though unless by God's will that I develop a cancer of my own, this is as close as I can possibly be to feeling the pain and having a ""hamartia"" such as those of Hazel and Augustus. I have been taught through a new outlook that everyday is precious...and you can't change your circumstances all the time but you can change your response to them.</span>"

It really saddened me to read this hopeless perspective on life and terminal illness. This isn't the end... There is more to this life than living and dying! There is HOPE and it is found in Jesus Christ. There is life after death in Heaven for an eternity. Cancer touches us all. Me and my boys know their dad is healed in Heaven and i wish this author and these characters would've known the joy u can have through earthly pain and suffering because u know your eternity will b perfect and without suffering. This is a sad account of how too many people who dont know Christ view life and death.  It is very well written but it saddened me to read this perspective when I know there is so much more to this life! I pray the author finds someone who will share the truth with him so he can write another book with an eternal perspective.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R10MDZCC890QNF?ASIN=014242417X	Exceeds awesome levels!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The fault in our stars reminds me why I love books in the first place. Books are in my opinion an underestimated medium of communication theses days. John continually reminds us through his youtube videos and his novels that books were created to pass information on from person to person. Weather you are reading The Fault in Our Stars, a Shakespearian play, or your physics text book you are ultimately reading a message that someone somewhere thought was important enough to write down. And to all of you who are skeptical about reading a soppy cancer book I say to you, yes this book will probably make you cry but read it anyway! While this books is about two teenagers who are sick and do things like play video games and vandalize people's property, it is also about human consciousness, our purpose in life and honest, young, innocent love. So to all the nerdfighters out there, read this book, DFTBA, and best wishes :)</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RJFPMCBLJAPCC?ASIN=014242417X	Dishonest, manipulative, and gimmicky	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I think that that John Green may have tried to write a book that was different than the typical, tragic, book with main characters dying of cancer, but if that was his goal, he was not successful with the The Fault in Our Stars. The protagonists in this book, sixteen-year old Hazel and seventeen-year old Augustus, meet at a support group for cancer patients, and their love story evolves from there. These two are ""wise beyond their years"" due to their circumstances, with clever, quirky conversation, peppered with vocabulary and thoughts worthy of twenty-eight year olds. They end up sounding very much like the Encouragements that Augustus' mother has throughout the house, the ones that they see as trite and simplistic. There is Death in the end, but of course there are Lessons Learned and Life Goes On. Perhaps because cancer, disease, and death are such painful and personal experiences, this book just came off as dishonest, manipulative and gimmicky.</span>"

4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3A9GG0EVRHM8A?ASIN=014242417X	More than just cancer	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I heard about this book from one of my college professors, we were talking about kids with cancer and she brought up this book. It sparked my interest because she was saying that this book wasn't really about the depressing parts of cancer,it was about living even though you have cancer. I myself was a 19 year old with cancer, and 2 months into remission at the time back into my first college class after chemotherapy. I bought this book right after my class ended that day and finished it the following day. To say that this book made me almost crazy was an understatement. I have never had a book that has made me feel so many emotions. When reading this book it really made me feel like someone understood the life of a cancer patient. I STRONGLY recommend this book to anyone who has had cancer, or even without. This book shows you what true love is and what life is.  BUY IT! It is 100 percent worth it.</span>"

4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R38AQ88QKW9T97?ASIN=014242417X	A special story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This unique story is a ""cancer"" book without being a cancer book. Perhaps because we know up front that the main character has cancer, it's less of a stark topic of the book, yet having a terminal illness is a constant theme. I guess I want to tell people not to put this story aside just because it deals with cancer...it's such a great book, on so many levels, it shouldn't be shelved so easily.<br/><br/>It's also in the Young Adult category, but if I hadn't known that, I wouldn't categorize it as YA myself.<br/><br/>This is a love story, and John Green does such a good job casting Hazel, the main character, in a way that we really get to know her, get to go inside her head and understand her dilemmas, her faults, her strengths, her desires.<br/><br/>I'm amazed at how easy this book was to read, yet it's so complex, it's topics heavy, it's story thick and rich. I wholeheartedly recommend it!</span>"

4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2E9BKRCSZ8P0T?ASIN=014242417X	Great book!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Possible spoiler alert! My daughter pre-ordered this book so she could get an autographed copy. John Green autographed the entire first printing! Her first autographed copy had little more than a squiggle in it, and she lost that one, but I was able to get another autographed copy from a bookstore in Chicago, and that had a better autograph. She was hoping for a Hankler fish--a drawing from John's brother Hank, that only appears in a few books. She didn't get that, but she loves the book anyway. It's just a great story about two unusual teenagers who may not be like you, but you like them anyway and empathize strongly with them. I highly recommend this book for teenagers. It might not be suitable for the 9-12 year old set as it deals with emotional issues they may not be ready to deal with (two friends dying of cancer--I hope that wasn't a spoiler for anyone). But it's a wonderful book.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I feel as is if I was slowly dying (much like the characters) in the most beautiful and strangely addicting way as I read this book. Which was only a day after starting it. Me, being a slightly cowardly person, the type that if something is sad or painful I normally choose not to acknowledge it's existence. However I can't say that I have any regret in reading the complex, yet simple, funny, yet heart-achingly sad, story of this book. ( Well I  could, but I'd  be lying).  Unlike in most YA books, the female narrator did not repulse me, nor was the plot of a young girl who is bound f o r ultimate death so depressing it was unreadable. It made look at life differently, which is such a cliche it pains me to say it. How ever, in the grand scheme  of things I would highly recommend  reading this book.<br/><br/>Sincerely,<br/><br/>  A teenager.<br/>P.S.- We are all just a side effect.</span>"

I didn't but I still found much of the book endearing and truthful.  The connection between the main characters was at times funny, loving and scary.  I say scary because they both take chances with loving each other, just as anyone else would be taking.<br/><br/> Even though some of the characters have Cancer or an illness the book isn't dark.

2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2CD6RWXD4B1Y0?ASIN=014242417X	An amazingly thoughtful book by an amazing author.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">A couple of years ago I went to my local library and picked up a copy of John Green's 'Looking for Alaska.' Soon after I found out that John had written more novels, and went to read them, too. They were very well written and inspiring. When I heard that John was writing another book, I pre-ordered it without hesitation. I did not regret that.. The Fault in Our Stars is a superb and thoughtful book that I would recommend to anyone. The messages that the book brings across are strong and poignant and they're something that we can all relate to. This book gave me a new perspective on life and the world that we live in. The Fault in Our Stars was the first book that I've read in a while to make me laugh, cry, and examine the world for a different standard. I definitely recommend this book to anyone, and I wouldn't say that about any book, so please give it a read.</span>"

4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2KL6X57ZZV9IC?ASIN=014242417X	I laughed, I cried, I cried, I laughed.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is the perfect book, in my opinion. It's beautifully written, poignant, thoughtful, funny (at times), relatable, and (most importantly) so so very honest. John Green paints a world that you feel apart of...where you cheer on Hazel's victories and you cry with her during her losses. It's a book about falling in love that actually makes you fall in love; with the characters, with the writing, with the plot, and with so many of those tiny quotable nuggets that you find yourself carrying around with you even after you've put the book down. I had been told to read TFIOS since it came out, and I'm upset that it took me as long as it did to finally pick it up. I finished it within 4 days (it would've been 1, but I'm a full-time student, hah.) While it's technically a 'young adult' novel, anyone can relate to it. I cannot praise this book highly enough!</span>"

I think we were all meant to follow the lead of Augustus Waters and write our own epilogues.<br/><br/>I know I have.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1GNV2PFTOMVD7?ASIN=014242417X	Beautifully Written.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I loved the expansive vocabulary the characters used in this book. However, I did not appreciate the use of of foul language. Also, as a highly religious person full of wondrous hope for the afterlife I didn't feel like I could connect to the characters as well. Beyond all of that, this was a beautifully written story. I felt that John Green used a writing style similar to my own in some aspects. In other ways his writing was so much deeper and more elaborately put together than anything I could could come up with. He had such a beautiful way of putting words together. That, the serious topics he addresses, and the depth with which his characters loved each other is what will keep me coming back to his books. It was just so sad for me to feel the hopelessness and emptiness that his characters felt. It just simply doesn't have to feel that way.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RK2CZPZLE86G2?ASIN=014242417X	Nothing gold can stay.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I really enjoyed this book. I am not usually a reader of YA's- I'm more a judge-a-book-by-its-cover reader, which is precisely what I did. I saw this on a stand in B&amp;N and it called to me, for whatever reason, and then I saw the price. I waited a week before purchasing it here and I feel now that I wasted a week of my life by not having read this sooner.<br/><br/>I began and finished this book in one day. Not because is was that easy but because it was that good. At first I found myself reading it to my boyfriend being all, ""listen to this pretentious line"" but the more I read the quieter I got until I locked myself in my bedroom to finish. I needed the quiet. I needed to finish. Hours later, when I emerged from my library, I read parts to my boyfriend but instead I said, ""listen to this beautiful line"".<br/><br/>Truly a beautiful a read.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RR1JS2M7GLBOL?ASIN=014242417X	Even the title is interesting	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">When I was about to buy this book I didn't really know why I wanted to buy it. I don't read a lot of current fiction (where the setting is the current year) and I was asking myself how am I going to relate to a young cancer patient or find this interesting? I bought it and discovered that Mr.Green guided me on how to relate to a young cancer patient and let me discover how his characters' stories were interesting. I don't think I've been more surprised by a book in my life. I can remember almost all of it, the jokes, the heartbreaking moments, the not-so-good/boring parts, even weeks after finishing. It really says a lot about an author when you can pick out the parts you didn't even like and notice they have a purpose in the story and it shows a different side to the book. Every part of this book is memorable and an experience unto itself.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RVWQTE755SHPH?ASIN=014242417X	Great Book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is the best book I've read in a long time. If i had the time i would have finished it in one day, although i didn't want it to end! I'm 25 and I haven't read a 'young adult' book since maybe middle/high school and i loved it. I was immersed in the story since the first chapter. John Green is an amazing writer. I found myself re-reading some sentences and dialogue because they were absolutely brilliant. The bad reviews on here don't really make any sense. Sure they don't talk like normal 16 year olds and if they did..what would the book be? It wouldn't be anything. It's different and that's what I LOVED about it. It wasn't meant to be realistic. I can agree with some people on the Peter Van Holten plot (especially towards the end) and the fake cigarette thing but still a great book that I will definitely read again.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1VHOM748LXHQ3?ASIN=014242417X	Augustus and Hazel will capture your heart and won't let go	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I rarely say that you ""have to"" read a book since tastes and genres run the whole gamut, but I'm saying that you ""have to"" read this book. This book left me quaking with sadness, even though there are moments of lightness. In the ten days it took me to read this novel, I couldn't wait to get stuff out of the way so that I could curl up with THE FAULT IN OUR STARS in the evening. I delved into a world of cancer, frailty, strength, humor, the meaning of life, and the legacy people leave behind when they pass on. With other books I find the focus may be on a few things or a singular theme, but this book seems to encompass so much more. It's as if John Green held up his arms to life itself to encapsulate its pith and put it in this book with two characters, Augustus and Hazel, who will capture your heart and won't let go.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R38ZIPTT5D31UM?ASIN=014242417X	I'm still trying to catch my breath	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I've just finished reading The Fault in Our Stars. I've had the book since its release, but decided to wait until I had the time to give the attention it deserves. It was hard to stay away from spoilers, but I'm glad I managed to do it quite successfully.<br/><br/>This is one of those books that, as soon as you start reading, you know it's a rare thing. The stars align and it all works. I'm deeply touched by the story, the characters, the discussions, and the way John presents these very complex thoughts with tender simplicity. It flows beautifully.<br/><br/>I can't recommend it enough. Actually, I purchased copies of the book and gave them to some of my closest friends, so as to make sure they'll read it. It meant a great deal to me, and I'm sure it'll mean a lot to everyone who takes the time to discover it.</span>"

4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RP5FO7D94IHKI?ASIN=014242417X	Green holds back, but still touching	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">""The Fault in Our Stars"" is a beautifully written book which completely changed my aspect on cancer patients and survivors.<br/><br/>The views expressed by Hazel and Augustus are genius, but are almost unbelievably genius for people of their age. I understand that they are supposed to be wise beyond their years, but the complexity of their thoughts and relationship would be easier for me to believe even if the characters were two years older. A minor detail.<br/><br/>I loved this book, but even so it seemed rushed to me. Green's ""Looking for Alaska"" and ""Paper Towns"" are written in perfect detail and bring you through twists and turns; ""The Fault in Our Stars"" was almost begging to be more free.<br/><br/>However, this is an amazing story with amazing perspectives overall.</span>"

4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3GJFAIYE4AL5Z?ASIN=014242417X	Truly Inspiring	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I love to write. There is no doubt about that. And I definetly wasn't thrilled when my friend gave me a ""cancer book"" to read. They are always so depressing. And there is no doubt that this was, but it wasn't the sad parts that inspired me. The beginning parts of Hazel and Augustas falling in love; that's what really got me. It just shows me that maybe one day I can write something half as decent as this. I would be happy with that. I will keep writing, and will always keep John Green's writing in my memory, in hope to be as good as him one day. I recommend ""The Fault in Our Stars"" without a doubt; this was most definetly one of the best books I have ever read and maybe the best book I will ever read. I am young, younger then the main characters, but I know an amazing book when I see it. ...an amazing read</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R26Z35FB1NZM45?ASIN=014242417X	Stars in the Hands of the Young and Old	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars is a very special book. I saw the high ratings and just had to order it to read and I so glad that I did.<br/><br/>The two main characters in the story, Gus and Hazel, are both totally credible characters. They are two young teens fighting against cancer and the story covers issues of how one might really feel if dealt the dreaded C-word. It is tender, heart-breaking, humorous, and just plain ol' down-to-earth.<br/><br/>Gus is my favorite character because he has such a great sense of humor. He reminds me of my brother-in-law when he was fighting cancer and the funny sayings that came out of his mouth. I loved Gus for that reason and because he has such a tender, loving heart. Every girl would want such a guy.<br/><br/>I recommend this book to everyone, young (teens) and old!</span>"

""The Fault in Our Stars"" is John Green at his finest. I can say truly that I have not cried as hard or as long reading any other book in recent history; however, that is not to say that this is a sad book (it is). Green's lightning wit and never-ending plethora of clever dialogue, along with wonderfully sculpted characters, give this book something above and beyond- a thing greater than the sum of its parts.<br/><br/>I can write congratulatory nonsense in this review all day, but that does not change the fact that ""The Fault in Our Stars"" should be read. By you. Buy it. The Kindle version is lovely.</span>"

2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2VR11Q09ZQABZ?ASIN=014242417X	Splendid	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is simply amazing. I had heard raving reviews about it from friends for months prior to reading it, and it certainly lived up to, and exceeded, expectations. Before reading The Fault in Our Stars, I read two of John Green's other books, Paper Towns and An Abundance of Katherines. Without having read Looking for Alaska yet, I absolutely think this is John's best work. I felt for the characters and was immersed in this world, shown from the interesting perspective of a teenager with cancer. She experiences a mix of depression, realism, hopefulness, and optimism throughout the story. The characters, situations, and story itself pose intriguing and insightful ideas. I didn't want to stop reading it. I feel very grateful to have read this novel, and would recommend it to anyone.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1K5Q19RDNO9JN?ASIN=014242417X	Completely worth the five star rating!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Holy guacamole, that was one emotional roller coaster of a book. I haven't read a book that tugged at my heartstrings as much as this book did in a very long time. For as much as this book elicited feelings of joy, it also brought me to tears, and not the classy single tear rolling down the cheek cry, but a full blown embarrassingly messy cry.<br/><br/>I went into this book with not-so-high hopes since I wasn't crazy about Looking For Alaska, but I have to say that all my expectations were beyond exceeded. Green's writing was consistent. The plot was perfect. The characters were real. If you know anything about my style in books, it's that these three things really make me tick. Green absolutely nailed it and I can't express how glad I am that I gave his writing a second chance.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2HENSJLHWY5G5?ASIN=014242417X	Literary awesome	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The second I got the book I was so excited to start reading. The beginning was great. He writes like he talks on his vlogs so I could just imagine everything in his voice. The middle got a little monotonous, but I wanted to find out how it would end. Then the end was amazing!<br/><br/>  To me the most important part of a book is the ending. The last 50 pages is how I am going to remember a book and this was done very well. At the beginning I thought I had the ending all figured out, but this was much better.<br/><br/>  My favorite part about the book is how so many different little details and story lines are done well. Reading it a second time and knowing how it ends just makes the beginning that much better to read over.<br/><br/>The book itself I give 4*'s, but John's awesomeness bumps it up to a 5.</span>"

I read the books they read so we can meaningful dialogue.  A few years back, when they were reading the Twilight series, I wanted to put a bullet in my head.  I thought this novel would be more of the same.<br/><br/>Much to my surprise, John Green penned a superbly written narrative that held my interest throughout the entire novel.  His characters are three-dimensional and he nailed the voice of Hazel Grace; I work with kids and I know how they sound.  I have ordered dozens of copies of this for my students and I took a group to see the movie after we finished post-reading discussions.  I will remember this novel as the one that sparked so many of my non-readers.  Great job, Mr. Green!</span>"

3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R23OJE0W3HIZQE?ASIN=014242417X	Funny and Moving	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I found ""The Fault in Our Stars"" to be enjoyable to read and could not set it down from the moment I started it. The book teaches a great lesson of looking on the bright side even when things get tough. Although Hazel has cancer and could relapse at any time, she continues to chase her dream of meeting her favorite author in the hopes of getting answers to what happens to the characters. The romance within the novel between Hazel and Augustus is interesting and at times it is easy for the reader to forget that the young couple actually have cancer. This makes it even harder in the end. This book both moves the reader and makes the reader laugh out loud. Hazel is sharp and witty, taking her life as it comes and living for the moment.This book is definitely a must read.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3JYYZWUF2PWQZ?ASIN=014242417X	It Finds A Deep Place	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I always hate giving a 5-star review but this one deserves it. New York Times Bestselling Author John Green is my all-time FAVORITE author. I've read all of his books, watch his vlogs, and support anything he does. ""The Fault in Our Stars"" is an emotional, funny, and true teenage story (to say the least.) It follows some of literatures best characters through their depressing and unfortunate lives. That may not sound flattering but trust me, it is. This book IS a quick read but you'll find yourself wanting to come back for more. Me, not a usual novel crier, shed some tears. It finds a deep place in your heart, connects, and then brings back some personal memories. Green has outdone himself. I'm glad that he wrote this but there's one problem: how will he top himself?</span>"

I didn't love the book! the vocabulary in this book in my opinion, was very hard for me to understand so I was confused on what they were talking about most of the time. I'm 14 and it was very hard for me to read this book! there was so much advanced vocabulary that it seemed to overpower the story of the book! I like the story of it, I just wish it was written a different way so people could read it without skipping words or taking forever to sound out a word they didn't even know! This is just my opinion and for some people it was a great book! I don't want to stop anyone from reading this book because of my opinion! I just wanted to share it like Hazel Grace did!</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1DUZ3MU341AJ4?ASIN=014242417X	"""But what we want is to be noticed by the universe."""	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I knew and loved a young girl who knew she was dying, so I am a very tough critic to get by on this subject. I think Hazel is an impressive portrayal of a girl who knows she has a limited time to live.  And she finds another person to journey with her in Augustus.  For adults lurking on the edges of a child facing death, the puzzle of comfort is all but overwhelming.  But I agree with Hazel, she doesn't fear death as much as she fears obliteration and never having mattered.  As time goes by, many of us adults forget the passion that burned in us to be a star in the sky.  This fate appears to have befallen the author they pursue.<br/><br/>Whatever the answer, when our stars have given us little time in which to shine, the fault must lie in them.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2VSH1UYVNT5QV?ASIN=014242417X	completely flawless	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I must say that this is the second book that I have read by this author, the first one being Looking For Alaska, and once again  am left utterly speechless. I was pulled in multiple different directions with my emotions, feeling as if I was riding along the shoulders of each character. John Green beautifully illustrates the jourmey that these characters take together on their cancer battles and remissons. After completing this book Im left wanting more, craving relationships like the ones constructed within the book, and left reevaluating my life in the best ways possible. This book has tugged at my heartstrings, leaving me with great expectations for John Greens books to come. I will definitely reread this book time and time again, a great read!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R144QY9B6L07LN?ASIN=014242417X	One of the Best Books I've Ever Read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I picked up The Fault in our Stars by John Green because of several recommendations by various friends. This was the first of John Green's books I've ever read and it is now one of my favorite books of all time. Green not only told a story about the love between Hazel and Augustus, but also confronted bigger issues than I expected him to. This novel was so deep, elaborate, and vibrant, which I never expected it to be. I cried and laughed along with the characters. Though one of the big things in the novel is cancer, the story of Hazel and Augustus overpower it. The story simply becomes the love story between two young people who try to live their lives to the fullest while they still can. I love this book and cannot say enough praise about it.</span>"

4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3F1QCPSG4XCU6?ASIN=014242417X	No Faults Here	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I LOVED this book. As a two-time survivor of leukemia and someone who has many friends with varying illnesses (some of whom have the same diagnosis/medical issues as the two main characters), it was the only book I've read that made me feel as though I was reliving that part of my life. It's combination of humor, disability community, sorrow, and the inclusion of romance, dreaming, etc. was flawless. The ONLY thing I didn't appreciate was that every time the word ""leukemia"" was mentioned it was associated with ""death"" (there's an 85% survival rate, people). Other than that, Green did an impressive job of capturing 1) the sick, 2) female, 3) teenager. I know I will re-read this book numerous times and feel that everyone should give it a shot!</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RTSNQDAG1P1PK?ASIN=014242417X	Wow	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Wow, there are so many things I'm feeling after I finished this book. It was a bittersweet read but honestly it was mostly sweet. Yes this book is about kids dying from one of the ugliest diseases out there but it is also about life. About taking the pleasure and the happiness in the everyday things, in the joy of getting to know someone and falling in love with someone. It's not a sappy story, it is real and it is raw, and it was wonderful. I was hesitant to read it for a long time because I thought it would be a non stop cry fest but it wasn't. Yes it left me feeling sad but also joyful in knowing that even if it was only brief these two kids got to know and feel one of the greatest emotions a human can feel, the feeling of being in love.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1LOF8O6ESCEPC?ASIN=014242417X	A surprisingly beautiful book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I am a devourer of books. Most books I read are decent, some are good, but This Book is truly spectacular. I was worried it would be a bit dull, and from the start I knew it wouldn't have a sappily romantic ending. This book itself is much like the book WITHIN the book, An Imperial Affliction. I want to know what happens to Hazel and Isaac and all of the other 3 dimensional characters within the book. I can easily put myself in the room with Augustus, Hazel, and Isaac on the Day of the Broken Trophies. It is dazzlingly poignant, and has made me think infinitely about the real infinity we all get with those who I love--no matter how short a time that might be. It is, perhaps, one of the best books I have ever read and I highly recommend it.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1GUFA5KSAUI23?ASIN=014242417X	I Wasn't THAT Impressed	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I felt like throughout this book a point was attempting to be proven, but it didn't quite get there. I absolutely loved the sampler I read on my Kindle, but everything after that was simply, alright. I thought the love story was sweet, but I felt more pity for each character than anything else. Maybe there was a greater meaning that I failed to see, but regardless it wasn't what I expected after the sampler. Also, the ending? What is up with that? Gus writes his letter, and we don't even really hear what Hazel thinks of it. We get two lines of her thoughts, but that's it. Are we to assume we know her well enough to guess what she would have felt after reading it? Either way, I didn't feel like the story really got the ending it deserved.</span>"

I teach in a middle school, so young adult books sometimes draw my attention.  Some who review this book with only one star are concerned about the cancer facts and their accuracy, or about the imperfect logic of some events.  That is not the purpose of a novel - for ANY age.  I love that this book takes cancer patients and makes them human.  Gives them teen interests and thoughts that go beyond their worries about cancer.  I think the author has given some insight into the lives of the characters and their real-life counterparts that can benefit any reader.  My book will be donated to our school library with high recommendations.</span>"

4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RA9H3QJZKRF23?ASIN=014242417X	Don't prejudge; it's amazing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">So you read that it's about a girl with cancer and you figure, I've got enough hardship in my own life. What do I need with this noise? But here's the magic of John Green's book. Yes, it has sadness in it but it celebrates life in an amazing and uncompromising way. It's intelligent and beautiful. I've read how others read it and alternately laugh and cry and I must admit I did that too on numerous occasions. But the crying is not because it's some depressingly weepy Oprah book club wannabe. You fall in love with the characters in this novel -- even the scumbag Dutch-American author. It reiterates that life is ultimately finite but it will make you want to live it to the fullest. Read this book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RI3ARS9TZY36F?ASIN=014242417X	LEGEN wait for it DARY	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">A close friend of mine got a signed copy for her birthday and when she showed me the book I SCREAMED.<br/>I have read all of John Green's books and there are just no words to describe the awesomeness that has been distilled into this book. John made me go through a rollercoaster of emotions and as a young adult who lost her dad from cancer, it gave me a sort of closure that I needed. I stray away from reading novels involving teenagers falling in love but John Green's works delve deeper than other young adult fiction books. This book definitely deserves a place on my collection of books that needs to be passed down to my children.<br/><br/>John and Hank Green, you give me hope :')<br/>DFTBA</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R8US1YO6KNG05?ASIN=014242417X	Terrific Book!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was chosen in as part of a book club that I belong to and is the first time I've read John Green's work.  When I first glanced at the summary I thought it would be a heartwrenching story of this young womans battle with cancer.  Instead it was about a remarkably smart young woman who happens to be dying of cancer, quite flippantly at that!  I fell in love with Hazel's  wit and outlook on her circumstance.  When she met Augustus - he was just too much of a force of life to resist.  They, along with their friend Isaac, had me laughing, rooting for them and crying.  I have so many highlighted excerpts on the kindle.. I'm looking forward to my bookclub discussion!  It will be a good one.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2146C9AV8YXO9?ASIN=014242417X	Such a fantastic book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Sometimes you read books and you couldn't care less about what happens to the characters. Other times the characters in a book come alive and you feel like you know them. This book falls into the latter category. Augustus and Hazel seem so real. I laughed out loud at parts and got all teary-eyed at other parts. I bought the Kindle edition of this book. I rarely highlight quotes from books on my Kindle but I highlighted probably a quarter of the book because there were so many quotes I wanted to remember. This book definitely made me stop and think about life, which rarely happens with any books, even the so-called ""good ones."" It is a great book and deserves the glowing reviews it has gotten.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RGKQUT6Q8H714?ASIN=014242417X	One of my absolute favorites.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">So, I've read nearly every book by John Green. He's easily my favorite author so of course walking into this I highly suspected I would not be disappointed, but I did not expect it to be this wonderful either. His books generally help people relate or feel like someone understands them, but this book was making you fall in love with these people, then wrench them away. It makes you love them, laugh with them, and cry when things take turns you never expected. It is easily one of the best purchases I've ever made. I read it within 24 hours, but it's two weeks later and I'm still carrying it around with me. Thank you for writing such beauty, and thank you for understanding us. &lt;3 nerdfighters.</span>"

4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1SG8F3FK96T0F?ASIN=014242417X	Not What I Expected	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This was my first John Green book. I have heard mixed reviews on his books and the levels of content in them, so I was a little skeptical before picking this up. The story starts a little slow, not too slow though, and is just interesting enough to propel you into the next chapter. After a chapter or so I found myself not wanting to stop reading, literally! This book is mesmerizing in more ways than one. The characters are all realistic and you are sure to fall in love with each and every one of them for some reason or another, the story is straight forward but still keeps you guessing, and the emotions in this book are plentiful! This is a book I think everyone should read at least once.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1TFITUEAOH5Y3?ASIN=014242417X	Smart and funny, but don't forget the tissues!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">There are plenty of reviews outlining the story, but I loved this book so much that I had to say so.  The main characters, Hazel and Gus, are smart and witty; perhaps they know too much for being teenagers, but if you can overlook that, you will be treated to not just their story, but their amazing outlook on life. They want their lives to count for something, to be remembered after they are gone, and to leave as few scars as they can. I laughed out loud at their humor, enjoyed their romance, contemplated life and the universe, and cried my eyes out while being unable to set the book down. The Fault in Our Stars is easy to read while being intelligent and full of truth.  Two thumbs up!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3POYQUGK6ZWV1?ASIN=014242417X	This book is utterly beautiful.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">My reaction when I finished this book: Oh. My. God. I think this book literally changed my perspective on life. It's so tragically beautiful that after you read the last words you sit there, in complete silence, and rethink everything over, and start to cry, in both despair and relief. I usually am not one to cry over books, but The Fault in Our Stars had me sobbing. Augustus' and Hazel's love is so pure and true. The whole book, even though it is fiction, is so honest about love and life. My thoughts about this book are ""thoughts I cannot fathom into constellations"". I recommend this book to anyone and everyone, young or older, this book is completely and utterly amazing.<br/>&lt;3333</span>"

We need to read this book to understand WHY we have ll been duped and sold a bill of goods on all this PC junk we are cow-towing to, which is crap. So many Americans walk along, don't knowing, don't caring about anything, except what they have going on in their lives. They don't care about our country, they don't care about our men and women who are serving this country, they could care less if this whole country goes to Hell, and it is headed in that direction.  Wake up, America! Read this book and see what a puppet you have become, see how dumb you are, and do something about it!</span>"

This is the first of Green's books I have read, and the first fiction novel I have finished since reading Harry Potter in high school (I'm now through undergrad and bouncing through the job market). The book's very relatable and likable characters take you on a very fun ride with laughs, deep thought, and pain. The book is an easy read, with an occasional wild card word that only requires a quick dictionary look-up and reread. This all made the book hard to put down, and I finished it in one sitting. It was definitely good enough to read again, something I do not really ever do, and it has reintroduced me to the joy of reading. Thank you, John Green. -Brian</span>"

The book pulls you into the story of Augustus and Hazel, making you feel every emotion that they do and more. In the book its self, there was a quote: ""Sometimes you read a book and it fills you with a weird evangelical zeal, and you become convinced that the shattered world will never be put back together unless and until all living humans read the book."" That is how I would describe this.<br/><br/>I highly recommend buying this book!

3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R9UE1Y7QOG8VT?ASIN=014242417X	Reminds me of Juno	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I love this book.  I'm 46 years old (so not a teen) and although this is a story of first/young love, it is not written just for a younger audience.  It allows you to see all the characters thru the main characters eyes, Hazel, but since she is clearly beyond her own years, her take on things is very accurate and adult-like and true.  So you get a real understanding of the heartache and love her parents have towards her..how people around her see her. It reminds me quite a bit ""Juno"" and I picture her character to be very similar in fact.  Funny, very touching and just a really, really great book.  Not a ""cancer story"". Highly recommend to mid-teens that like to read &amp; up.</span>"

This book is truthful, something that a lot of people have forgotten can exist in fiction. It is a love story, of course, but it is about a disease, a real disease, and it presents the real complications of having this disease in its many different forms. I will tell you in advance, this book will rip your heart out and tear it into tiny little pieces, but even in its saddest moments you cannot put it down. Thank you John Green for presenting me with this new outlook on many things I had begun to take for granted in this life that I am so lucky to have. Thank you.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3UAS6TGNGD9KM?ASIN=014242417X	brilliant	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Young adult fiction is some of the most powerful and original out there. However, I do not consider this book to fit solely in that realm. It is powerful and original, absolutely --- but I think that it is being considered young adult based solely on the age of the protagonists. This book is universally appealing. It maneuvers through the heavy topics of terminal cancer and eventual death with a realistic wit and strength. The execution of words combined with compelling characters will not allow you to put the book down. And yes, you will weep. You should weep. But in the end you will be rewarded with something real, raw and rare for your effort. Highly recommend it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2JV3NSJTTVWGH?ASIN=014242417X	Forever	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I'm not going to tell what this book was about, nay, that would a waste of space. I'm not going go tell you the deeper meaning or what the author ""was really trying to say."" I believe there is no greater insult to a work then that. However, in my few years of being about to devour books as I do, never have I ever come across a book that speaks both of and to the human soul.<br/><br/>Green wrote of a forever created within the limits of reality, the impossible time that never exists. Let me tell you in simple words, this book is my forever, as pretentious as that may sound. Take his words to heart and if by perchance you are lucky someday they will reach your soul.</span>"

Or if you're an adult looking for a great book to read -- then get to reading because I don't think you'll be disappointed.</span>"

I have to say that I was very, very pleased with The Fault in Our Stars. Green hits on several universal themes; Hazel and Gus (the main characters) will teach readers about the risky business of life and love and grief. Green holds true to his signature writing style ... smart writing that isn't dumbed-down for his young adult audience. He writes for teens the way they like to be treated, as capable and mature.</span>"

It's heart breaking and elegant and lovely.  As the author has said in a dodge of the question of ""Will this book make me cry?"", it should make you feel all the things.

2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1QNOAMHS471I5?ASIN=014242417X	John Green does it again	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is simply magical. He takes a scenario that is relatable but un-like anything most people will ever experience. Some people are turned off from this book because they're led to believe it is 'just another cancer story'. Well I'm telling you that this is not just another cancer story, it's so much more than just a cancer story. It is definitely written for a young adult audience but I highly recommend it for adult readers as well. All of John Green's novels have proven themselves to be through provoking and interesting and this one is by far my favorite. If you purchase this book and enjoy it then I recommend all of his other novels.</span>"

If you're questioning whether it's really as good as everyone keeps saying, IT IS. Trust me, I was a bit wary to waste my time reading a book that seemed to be overrated, but my friends convinced me to give it a shot, and it was worth it! It's not even the storyline itself that was unbelievably amazing, but more of John Green's writing skills. Everything is so well-worded, and eloquently written. Overall, it's a must-read.<br/><br/>Obviously, it's a sad book, but it's not overbearingly angsty, so don't worry about that too much.</span>"

I never wanted to think about it before, but this book insists! These characters are perfecly created in the author's mind, and then presented to the rest of us as a gift, so we can also empathize with their view, their parent's viewpoints, their friends (some didn't support or stick with them as they'd promised) and their disappointments. John Green has an compassion for these sick kids with a short life expectance, and he knows how to write about it so his readers can gain the most from their story. I'm going to read everything John Green has written. He is a unique Young Adult author.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2TVJMJL2KCCXA?ASIN=014242417X	Face it, would not be popular if anybody else wrote it.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I hated every second of reading this overrated book writen by a pseudo-intellectual. it's writen as if a 5th grader wrote it, grammar mistakes are everywhere. The characters had no depth, I wasn't even sad when it ended because you don't care about these characters. It's very formulaic - if you've ever read a John green novel then you already know what's going to happen. I feel like people only like this novel because it's John green and they somehow believe they are smarter or better for reading his books. Come on people! It's a facade!!!!!! This is not literature - this is entertainment. And it's poor entertainment at that.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3QEOJ23JU9RR1?ASIN=014242417X	I Guess You Need to Be a Young Adult	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read this book since it was a book club pick. Maybe if I was 16, I'd really love this book, but I'm not....far from it. The story that interested me was Peter Van Houten. I was so, so tired of Augustus--an unrealistic teen. And Hazel, was nearly as annoying. You knew this was going to be a tearjerker with the formula of teens and cancer...so I felt manipulated from the start. At least I can speed read...so the pain of enduring this book was over quickly. One star means I hate it. And since it has a line or two that was somewhat worthy, I had to say I didn't like it and be fair with two stars. But 1 1/2 would be more honest.</span>"
1.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2128CYQUDRS5T?ASIN=014242417X	John Green is My Problem	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Sorry John Green fans, but I think he's an absolute moron. His writing was fine, and the book was pretty decent. He said some pretty stupid, sexist things in his narrative. Always find it odd to be reading a narrative of a teenage girl written by a middle aged man. But maybe that's just me.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RM5V3X5IRO889?ASIN=014242417X	"""I can't number enough stars to rate this book."""	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I can't number enough stars to rate this book. But, since I'm a math fan and a one day becoming engineer, I have to find a way to represent how much I loved this book, how much this book moved me.<br/>Therefore, I'll pick: ""9"". That ""9"" can stand for stars or any other symbol you find proper. ""Why 9"" you think? Simply, because Hazel chose it when she could have chosen 10.<br/>Thank you, John Green, for being able to place a smile in the middle of a sob.<br/><br/>*SPOILER ALERT*<br/>P.S: I was so afraid you would become a ""Van Houten"" that I'd kept praying for the book to have an end. So, thank you for not becoming him.</span>"

The language is amazing, it flows nicely, the plot is fun and heartwrenching.  (This is NOT a ""downer"" book.

2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1UVR6VSD4F8EG?ASIN=014242417X	Good, but not GREAT	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read this to see what all the hype was about...<br/><br/>and it was okay.<br/><br/>I read it straight through in one sitting, so the plot was interesting and well paced. However, the dialogue was unrealistic and more than a little pretentious. It wasn't as bad a the Nick&amp;Norah/Dash&amp;Lily books, but pretty close. Kids don't talk like that. Not to say teenagers aren't intelligent, or that they can't have real conversation, but they don't speak in the long, all-too-perfect monologues that littered this book.<br/><br/>Bottom line: IN MY OPINION it was worth reading and I liked it, but it wasn't anything special.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RD4P6ZYP7JSVK?ASIN=014242417X	A beautiful story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">When I first started reading this book, I thought that it was going to be about two people who fall in love with each other and stay together for a long time,  living happily and all that (because to be honest, I'm kind of a sucker for those types of stories). However, after finishing it, I'm glad do say that it didn't have a general fairy tale like ending. Rather, it was like a slap in the face-- the good kind that makes you realize things that you would have been blind to before. This book is heartbreakingly beautiful, and is definitely worth reading --at least once, if not many, many,  many more times than that.</span>"

This book did things to me I never imagined a book could do.  I felt everything.  Every emotion.  Every pain.  Everything.  I loved this book.  Don't bother with tissues.  Just go straight for the paper towel.  The whole roll.  You will laugh, and you will cry...hard.  Do not pass this book up.  It will stay with you long after you read it.  Just make sure you have a ""chaser book"" to follow it with, something funny.  It will be the only way to salavage whatever is left of your heart.  John Green, you are AMAZING!</span>"

I am a 26 year old male. A Civil Engineer in the state of Texas and was raised in the state of Mississippi in the exact manner you might suspect. While I show my emotions more than most of those who live around me, it is still somewhat of an oddity for something like a book to elicit anything more significant that a ""Wow, what a good book"" when I'm done. John Green.....you have written a fantastic novel that reaches any reader who picks it up. I would recommend this book to anyone I come across (and have). A MUST read.</span>"

3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2CD8INA1L5VJU?ASIN=014242417X	Easy read but a little pretentious	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This was a ""so so"" book. I was really excited about starting it, but the literary quality wasn't what I thought it would be. Also, all of the existentialism was trying to be more intellectual than it really was. I found the conversations between Augustus and Hazel to be a little pretentious.<br/><br/>Nevertheless, it was a really easy read and I finished it in a day. I would recommend it to young adults who want to read a love story that doesn't really have a lot of emotional or literary depth. But if you are looking for an engaging or exciting novel, this is not the one I would recommend.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3AWN3FFDP91N4?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was just plain amazing. Everything was in it: sadness, humor (I laughed out loud at some parts), soul, and romance. I personally do not like sob stories, that is before I read this book. I don't know what quality made it so, but this changed my perspective on sad stories. I would recommend this to anyone in a heartbeat, especially if that someone was looking for something to feed the soul and teach about life. This book also has an abnormal abundance of quote-worthy phrases. I wrote down a few just so that I would remember them for a long time. I learned so much about life from this book.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">As the mother of a 16-year-old teen, I felt fortunate that my daughter recommended I read this book after she finished it.  I loved it as both a shared experience with my daughter, but also the chance to discuss difficult life challenges and sorrows with her. We are both serious Nerd-Fighters and fans of John Green books!!  We recommend them ALL.<br/><br/>John Green is an amazing writer who really understands how difficult growing from a kid into a teen and finally toward adulthood can be today for our young people.<br/><br/>I recommend this to every parent of a teen to share with their teen!</span>"

4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3JKQ5YFE6XJCH?ASIN=014242417X	Very Heart-Felt	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">SPOILER ALERT<br/> My mother was having a hard time in buying me this book because she thought it would be a depressing novel, though she couldn't be more wrong. This book is filled with love, Hazel and Augustus love for each other, Hazals parents love for her, and Augustus parents love for him. The book is filled with so much meaning and when Augustus died all I could do was cry. All I could think about was what Augustus said, ""Oh, I wouldn't mind, Hazel Grace. it would be a privilege to have my heart broken by you"" and thinking how ironic is it. Amazing book that I would recommend to anyone.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R11542FDGDQ0DS?ASIN=014242417X	Seriously loved this book...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">It's hard to say why The Fault in our Stars was so good. Something about it grabbed me and I could not put it down. The characters were so vivid and raw and real. Hazel and Augustus and even Isaac will stay with me for a very long time. Based on the subject matter, it seems this book would be depressing... but it's not. In some very strange way, it was uplifting and hopeful. TFIOS is a beautiful picture of how two very real teenagers deal with adversity. They don't sugarcoat anything. They face life's uphill battles full on and we have a front row seat. Highly highly recommend this little gem.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RDVOMRSURAVLF?ASIN=014242417X	I wish I had never read this book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">because then I could read it all over again for the first time.<br/><br/>I would go somewhere no one would find me and read it straight through from start to finish. I would met the characters for the first time again, be amazed at how they become so real they just about climb out of the book and into the room with you. I would slow down and enjoy each word, each hilarious, touching, smart turn of dialogue, each perfectly-wrought description. I would laugh and cry out loud (again) and remember that THIS -- being pulled in and under by a completely unforgettable story -- is why I love books.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3OAAV21TYSDE?ASIN=014242417X	A real surprise	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">John Green invaded my life one week last month. Searching for some captivating videos on you tube to show my high school social studies classes, I stumbled on Green's brilliant ""Crash Course"" videos- he has basically become the Bill Nye of History. That same week I stumbled upon John Green's books while browsing the Kindle store. I saw the excellent reviews and decided to give it a go in spite of the seemingly depressing content matter. Once I started, I was engrossed. You will be immersed and the world around you will fade away- exactly what a great novel is supposed to do. Read it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R93YSSBUHIO9A?ASIN=014242417X	Absolute Brilliance	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is by far my favorite John Green book. Holy goodness. The character development of Hazel and Agustus is absolutely perfect. Even the addition of peripheral characters is fantastic. Hazel and Agustus (and even Isaac) walk that fine line of being precocious and being silly teenagers who write smart aleck ads for dilapidated swing sets on a Craigslist sort of forum. John Green has that magical ability to perfectly balance humor and tenderness. This book is so perfectly hilarious and at the same time, poignant. I've never laughed or cried so much in one book. Well done, John. DFTBA -Sarah</span>"

4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RHOECR3U7SVU2?ASIN=014242417X	Great book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">It is great; not perfect, but great. A lot of authors make the mistake of thinking their stories are worth so many pages than they are. They draw out plots that are barely there, and focus on characters you don't care about. I might argue Green did the opposite; not by much, it's walking a fine line of course. But I, for one, would have appreciated developing Augustus and Hazel more, as well as giving more breadth to their relationship. All in all, I'd say when your biggest criticism about a book is simply that there isn't more of it, it's accomplishing the only task it's meant to serve.</span>"

I laughed and I cried the last chapters of the book and at the end was just speechless. It teaches you about life and love, and how to appreciate yourself if you are well and healthy! Makes you cherish your life even more and also it makes you realize how unfair life really is sometimes. I loved the characters and their funny remarks and how they made a joke of their sickness and not pity themselves. Wish the book AIA that they mentioned actually existed so that I could read it and love it as much as Hazel and Gus did!</span>"

Honestly the book is overrated, though written well, there is absolutely nothing special about this.<br/>3. He overplays his hand with the cancer theme. If he were to be a little more subtle about the cancer than it might have had a stronger voice... but unfortunately I felt like the book was only about the cancer.<br/>Don't get me wrong I love John Green's books but this one... not a good one.</span>"

4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1PYZ7B1GUWORL?ASIN=014242417X	Sweet & Heartbreaking	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Though it deals with a difficult subject, it felt like a privilege to get a glimpse into Hazel and Gus' relationship. For the reader it was a short time, but for the 2 main characters it was and always will be infinite. John Green said in one of his vlogbrother videos ""All I could think about, as night fell, was how much you could love made-up people and how much you can miss them."" This is how I feel about the two main characters. As I think back to write this review it's impressive that in a relatively short novel, I could feel that I knew someone well and lost them.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3HYRQKTJPAH3?ASIN=014242417X	Where's the love story?	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Perhaps I am just too old to have read and appreciated this book, but I felt it was totally overrated.  What could have been a really sweet but tragic love story was wasted on a subplot about a book they both liked and meeting the author of said book.  They were together a handful of times and the author provided no chemistry between the two characters until it was too late.  They hardly formed even a solid friendship anywhere in the pages.  The relationship was totally underwhelming. It was OK, but I totally do not understand the hype that has surrounded this book.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R34RBL5IIFKJLS?ASIN=014242417X	One of my favorite books	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is one of my favorite books that I have read so far. It made me laugh and cry, and when I finally finished it I was extremely satisfied with how it ended. It is a sad book, but it is also very realistic. It's about two kids with cancer trying to deal with their diagnoses and still be teenagers. Obviously, when you have cancer, not everything ends happily, which is one of the main reasons why I love this book. It is an accurate portrayal of kids with cancer and it is very realistic. Overall, an amazing read, everyone should own and read a copy of this book.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">THE FAULT IN OUR STARS<br/>Review by Tess, (Books On Board)<br/><br/>The Fault in our Stars is a book about living. It is about all that is life: Love, laughter, heartache, friendship, beauty, fear, loss, death, illness, adversity.... This book doesn't manipulate your emotions as most do but it brings tears to your eyes out of sheer knowledge and the registering in your brain of the beauty or ugliness, for that matter, Of every day living.

It could not be more aptly described than by the quote on its cover, that is, ""...filled with staccato bursts of humor and tragedy.""<br/><br/>The Fault in Our Stars is both painful and funny, all while exploring themes of infinity, oblivion, humanity, and our collective reaction to the universe and our own consciousness.  Green writes in such a captivating and intelligent way as to make the book and its dense themes relatable, but not patronizing, for its target audience.<br/><br/>If you read this book, you will most certainly love it.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1JVRJL9GA7MMD?ASIN=014242417X	Emotionally charged yet questionable perceptions from a teenager's philosophy of life	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">A difficult, yet eye-opening, realization for anyone not directly impacted by someone dealing with cancer or any other terminal illness.  Not sold on whether these are really accurate thoughts and perceptions of a teenager, even in lieu of the terminal diagnosis.  However, this is a fictional story intended for a young adult reader and therefore perfectly written to take them to a sort of idealistic portrayal of young love, accompanied with the ugly realism of cancer and terminal illness.  Well written and no lack of intensity to keep the reader attentive.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RMIRS0BX5I1B0?ASIN=014242417X	One of the Best	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">In what has been a record setting year for me in terms of total books read, there have been a couple of real stand outs. ""The Fault In Our Stars"" by John Green is not only one of the best of this year's books, it is now on my list of all time favorites. The story is about two kids that meet in a cancer support group. I don't want to say much more because I wouldn't want to wreck a second of it for anyone who is interested in reading it. It's sad, it's funny, very thought provoking and the dialogue is top notch. If you need something to read, give it a try.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3BF8LS0EUV5ND?ASIN=014242417X	Fun read, but who is the audience?	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I thought that perhaps if I waited a few weeks, I would have time to reflect on this book and be better prepared to write a review about it. I was mistaken.<br/><br/>It was fun while I read it, but overall I did not find it to be a memorable book or one that I would want to discuss with friends. The characters that I found to be most interesting were not the main characters (parents, friend who lost his sight, etc). The lead male was almost too perfect (great for a Dawnson's Creek-type storyline) with an ending that would make Nicholas Sparks jealous.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RV61RSWZZVF4M?ASIN=014242417X	Beautiful story.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Wow... this book is simply a MUST READ. From start to finish, i was always attached to the book; it was just so alluring and made you want to read more! The story of Hazel Grace Lancaster and her journey with Augustus Waters is simply just beautiful. I like how this book just makes you think - like REALLY think about life, death, love, and our place in this world. Not gonna lie, it made me bawl like a baby. It gives you a new perspective on life and your loved ones.<br/>I would certainly say that everybody - above the age of 13 - should read this book.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3L5NIEIKU4RQI?ASIN=014242417X	Perfectly Bittersweet	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">It's been a day and it still hurts when trying to breathe around the thoughts consumed by this book. How can fictional characters have such a huge life? How can their trials and suffering become part of us? Oh Hazel Grace! Oh Augustus Waters! Oh Isaac! Such a universe of LOVE! Such epic grandeur in wishes and dreams. Were it possible that we could all be as brave and selfless as these marvelous heroes. John Green you are undoubtedly a worldwide treasure and your talent knows no bounds. My heart is steeped in both sorrow and joy and for this I thank you.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3PRJG4ZMB1VCO?ASIN=014242417X	Best Book I Read All Year	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The fault in our stars is an amazing story about hazel grace lancaster who meets the charming augustus waters at one of her group meetings. Through the novel you see how their emotions and actions towards each other develop and change over time. This is by far the best book I have ever had the pleasure of reading. John green has the ability to depict such realistic characters and has more knowledge of what goes on in a teenage girls life than I do amd I ama a teenage girl, but this book in my opinion should be considered a classic eventually. Buy it !!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1QBJHLCJVNOSC?ASIN=014242417X	laughing and crying and feeling	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I could not decide if I was to old to love this book the way I did. As I read the book I thought to myself that I'm glad I stumbled upon it in my mid twenties and not mid-teens. To laugh and cry at the exact time is truly a rare form of art that John Green  has gifted upon all of us in This Fault in Our Stars. The characters are flawless, their humor noteworthy but the connection you feel will become heart wrenching. My recommendation is to sit down for a full 24 hours and fall in love with Hazel Grace and Augustus Waters all at once. Truly delighted.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2Y01NYDGRLJQQ?ASIN=014242417X	Just... Wow	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read the first paragraph of this book quoted on another site and had to find out what it was about. After reading a sample, I knew I had to buy this book.<br/><br/>I finished reading it the day it came in the mail, a few days ago. I am in love with this book! There was never a moment where I felt bored. I hung on every word of every page. It really pulls you in. There's love, humor, tragedy. It makes you laugh and cry, but it also makes you think. This is the first book from John Green that I've read but I'm definitely reading all his other works</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RUCONARMQCBRQ?ASIN=014242417X	Simply amazing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I am a self proclaimed YA fiction junkie.  That said I found this book resonated with me despite my 40+ years.  Rarely does a book about cancer make one laugh out loud on one page and then come to tears on the next.  I loved this book and like some of the other people who read this book too quickly, wished that I had taken more time to enjoy it.  Please don't misunderstand me, when the book was over, I was satisfied with the ending.  I just wish that it hadn't ended. Strangely, I wish I had a chance to visit with these ""friends"" a little bit longer.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2NJR9EL7FBH0W?ASIN=014242417X	An amazing story!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is one of the best books I have read in a very long time.  I have read and reread it several times and tell everyone they too must read it.  The phrasing by the author is unique and deserves rereading!  I actually reread many paragraphs just so I could enjoy the wording again!  The characters are great!  They become so real that you actually do celebrate their accomplishments and grieve their losses.  I hope if they make a movie of this; which I would love to see; they don't change the story one bit.  It deserves to be portrayed just as it is.</span>"

4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3EH1CPKFK9EXN?ASIN=014242417X	The Best Young Adult Book I've Ever Read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I am not overstating it when I say that this is the best Young Adult book that I have ever read. It is in my top 3 favorite books of all time, behind only The Great Gatsby and Ender's Game. The wonderful thing is, this book has intentional tie-ins to The Great Gatsby.<br/><br/>All I can tell you is to read it. I'm afraid anything I write, even in praise of the book, will not do it justice. I will suffice to say that it is a perfect combination of subtle hints of philosophy intertwining with an accurate depiction of love, loss, and death.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3D5FSQZL2RP5Z?ASIN=014242417X	Realistic view of teens with cancer	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is probably more a book for teens than adults but, as an adult, I really enjoyed it.  It was a real account of a teenager living with late-stage cancer and all its difficulties.  However, although I anticipated that it would tug at my heart strings and become sappy, it didn't.  In fact, a lot of it was pretty funny.  I loved that the main characters acted like teenagers even though, in some respects, they had to face some very grown up issues. I highly recommend this book.  Great writing, very engaging.  Look for more from John Green!</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R306QI1VP904PB?ASIN=014242417X	A HUGE fault in the Kindle edition	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I purchased this for my daughter in the Kindle edition.  I know this novel is a wonderful read, but I did NOT pay this price for incomplete sentences and major errors, and she is only on page 49!  We both have seen a paragraph incomplete where it stops in the process of a sentence and there also have been sentences and quotes that are left hanging on the page without completion.  Paying over $7.00 I believe this is unacceptable.  It's more than annoying to read with so many mistakes and I am sure the author wouldn't appreciate it either.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R5MXOCMRF1W6?ASIN=014242417X	Unexpectedly amazing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I was looking for something different to read and randomly selected this book on the reccomendation of amazon. I stayed up all night reading it as I could not put it down. I laughed and cried, often at the same time. This book was so beautifully written and the characters so real I did not even realize that hours had gone by.

Partly because I didn't like the character I'd assumed was going to die first, partly for the loss of young love.<br/>As the mother of teenagers, I found the author had a very convincing teenage voice. Although that can sometimes be very annoying, trust me!<br/>I know this is a work of fiction, but the way Hazel spoke to Peter Van Houten didn't seem convincing. I also found their reunion to be contrived and unlikely.<br/>But if you need a good cry, this book's for you.</span>"

As high up as this book is on this invisible pedestal, it wasn't a great read to me. seeing that it was narrated by hazel, i knew she wasn't going to pass. I was reading this book anticipating gus's death and when it happened it was just eh. Being a mother myself, i took on this book with the mind set of becoming attached, but instead found myself very distant and not really engaged or enthused about what the next chapter would bring. the ending in itself was all around terrible.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/REVJS5149CV3B?ASIN=014242417X	Predictable and unoriginal...but 2 stars for fast shipping	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">As in terms of an amazon product, yes the book was in great shape and shipped very fast.  In terms of content, don't waste your money.  Yeah, it's a popular book right now, but if you're over the age of 16, don't even bother.  From the beginning, you think you know what's going to happen, until about the middle of the book, and then you know how it will end.  Really, don't waste your time with it.  Please read some good literature.  On one hand, I'm glad I read it so I can say how predictable and unoriginal the story is.</span>"

I couldn't put it down, but when it ended I was slightly upset. This book is an emotional roller coaster! It made me laugh at loud, angry, happy, nostalgic, excited and depressed. The plot was unique, at least from what I usually read (favorites: Mitch Albom, Jodi Picoult, Laurie Halse-Anderson), and I never thought that it was boring. I yearn for more but in the end, there is no way to make this book better. I will be looking into more of John Green's books.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R226HGVOO8UKV8?ASIN=014242417X	Terrific Story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I'm a big fan of Green's earlier work - I'd recommend any of his books - and this one lived up to my expectations. Given the subject matter, it takes a skilled writer to not let the story spiral into a maudlin, sappy mess and Green is one of the best - the novel will make you laugh and cry and it never pulls at the heartstrings just to evoke a reaction. The characters are terrific and just when you think you've got it figured out, a small twist changes the direction of the story.  Just a great, great read.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I haven't read a good book ever since the hunger games and I was hoping this was going to change that. I cried more during the two days it took me to read this book then ever before. I LOVED how the book was written and how there were various twists. I thought that the book was going to end with her dying but it didn't. I couldn't put the book down and if it weren't for school i would have finished it in only one day.

When my son was diagnosed with cancer I told him we Will learn to live with it the best we can there were tears but also lots of laughter. I loved it because it is true to life but not morbid. Good work John Green and thanks.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3VMJNH2AYQLZ3?ASIN=014242417X	WOW	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I, in my opinon, stand out among my friends with my reading qualities. I love to read but, can never seem to get what I want in a book. Instead of reading some 75 page book just to get credits, I alwats find myself reading, not even in the teen, but the adult novel section. This book is one of the most engaging yet touching books I have ever read. It took me a day and a half to eat up this book. For me it was very symbolic (in a good way). I just couldn`t get enough. Well written and worth every moment.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RKE7RBSEGCB8Y?ASIN=014242417X	No words. (Okay, some words, but you get the idea)	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The sheer rawness of The Fault in Our Stars is completely outrageous. I mean, who would have the nerve to write something to absolutely honest, or so unimaginably true to life? Who writes about a girl in a book whom is obsessed with a book about a girl in her exact situation? Tis madness. The Fault in Our Stars displays nearly every attribute necessary to make a good book--and it displays them well. I have a feeling John Green going to go down in history as one of Those Authors, if you know what I mean.</span>"

I highly recommend it to anyone. Anyone. It was touching and I can truly say that The Fault in Our Stars was literally the best book I've ever read.<br/><br/>The best part - and saddest was how real he made it. It wasn't some tragic story where everything fell apart. It was all good until tragedy struck. And that tragedy could happen to anyone. The book touched my heart in ways no book ever has.

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2X7CXYEOMMEXD?ASIN=014242417X	Perfect	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I CAN'T EVEN TELL YOU HOW AMAZING THIS BOOK IS. It is no short of genius. It's touching. It makes you cry. And I realize people don't always like to read books that make them cry, but the way the book makes you think, and makes you laughed, and makes you cry, it is quite simply the textbook definition of a New York Times Bestseller. I cannot do this book justice with my mere words, not so eloquently arranged as John Green's. I can simply tell you to buy it and read it for yourself.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I picked this book up expecting another great read from John Green and indeed I was not dissatisfied. The book was everything I expected and more. From the beginning, I became attached to the characters and the plot. Though it took me a while to finish, I had a blast reading it and laughed out loud many times (a side of reading Green's books). I hope that John Green continues to produce  awesome works like this one and providing his readers with another gem on paper.</span>"

Greens characters were so like able and realistic that I couldn't help but wish they were my actual friends. His skillful writing had me laughing, crying and just about everything in between. I would highly recommend this book to anyone and everyone. This story will stay with me for a long, long time. In my eyes it is literary perfection.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2J3LD8NCHEU0S?ASIN=014242417X	I was disappointed it didn't deliver more	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I thought this book was highly overrated by all the reviews saying it was a five star book. Although it was interesting, and possibly authentic in cancer treatments, support groups, and the way teens speak to each other, it was difficult wading through all the 'cuteness' to get close enough to the characters to actually care about them. I did not 'cry buckets' at the end. After all the hype and advance build-up of the book, I was disappointed it didn't deliver more.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R38GM04Z6F68XK?ASIN=014242417X	This book is amazing!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I went into this book not knowing anything about it. My friends refused to tell me anything except that it is the best book they have ever read. I trusted them but was still skeptical, and I am so glad I did. This book was amazing and deffinatly one of my altime favorites. One minute you will be laughing and the next you will be crying. But I urge you to read it with either no, or minimal knowledge of it and trust that it will be good. It's the best way to read it.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RHDW7FV1P7PN7?ASIN=014242417X	The World is not a wish granting factory...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is a beautiful story. It made me happy, sad, angry. It made me laugh, cry, and long for a boy...in a book...that is only fiction. Oh, but how  Mr. John Green made the characters come to life and made you feel like you were in their world with them. If only for a little while.<br/><br/>So again I will say beautiful. This is a book worth reading. It is one of those stories that stays with you. Even after I finished the book and put it away, I am still thinking about it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3PADV1UHKARIX?ASIN=014242417X	A good quick read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is the story of two adolescents both who have, or who have had, life threatening cancers.  The plot isn't major, but is just a spine around which the sensibility of the novel wraps itself.  And it's that they go to Amsterdam to visit the author of a book that has inspired both of them, and are disappointed in the author.  There are plot reversals (I won't be a spoiler!) and I found the characters and their relationship moving.  It's a quick and engaging read.</span>"

As a 16 year old girl, I know that teen fiction in this day and age is typically nonsense, but John Green truly gives me hope. His writing is so intense and - for fiction - so lifelike. He doesn't shy away from negative situations. I felt like I could understand Hazel, not feel sorry for her. If you haven't bought and read this book, I suggest you do. Right now.</span>"

There very few one star reviews and my review is no exception. This is one of those books that I think fifty years from now teachers will require their students to read it because it has become a classic. This book is very moving and thought-provoking.

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I'll have to admit that the book is better than the movie...has more details and content. The movie had a lot of posing and had to develop the story too quickly. I liked the way the book seem to make each character fit their role.

If you want people to take their valuable time give a reward, you write more than a paragraph we give you a dollar credit or something.  I'm not going to waste time rating any more.</span>"

John Green is an absolute genius, and connects to an audience that ranges from teenagers to the elderly. I couldn't put this book down, and still can't. It changed my life, and opened my eyes to just how lucky I truly am. Read this book. I guarantee you will love it.</span>"

Although the subject matter is serious, John Green manages to occasionally leaven it with humor. The book had to compete with Hurricane Sandy for my attention the past two days and the fact that I couldn't put it down speaks to its excellence.<br/><br/>John Green is the co-author of ""Will Grayson, Will Grayson,"" another fine book. I urge you to read that, also.</span>"

The story is sad and the reality is sadder but well written. There were times however in the book that were not completely accurate regarding the oxygen. My mom is currently on Oxygen so maybe I was silently monitoring that in the story because I feel when I am with her we are contantly monitoring the level in the tank. I think this would be a good high school read.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R21BWCTDMNLNX7?ASIN=014242417X	John Green - this is truly a work of brilliance!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book now stands on my shelf for favorite books...next to a first English addition of Tom Sawyer. I felt like I was seeing with the eyes of these exceptional teens...teens living with terminal cancer. How you can do this with humor, respect and without it being depressing...is amazing. Every night I allowed myself a chapter so it did not go too fast. Like a well-written piece of music...it ended with the same brilliance as it began.</span>"

Yes, there is a teenaged protagonist but the wit and grace with which she deals with her own cancer and that of her support group will resonate with all. This book is not depressing, in fact, it celebrates life in all its inconsistencies.<br/><br/>I urge everyone to experience this amazing, entertaining, genius work.</span>"

I would be done with it had I not gone to work today! I love reading, but I am a very picky reader. I usually start a book and finish it only to finish it. Rarely do I laugh out loud or shed a tear while reading or feel my chest pounding with excitement... this book is a breath of fresh air. I can't wait to turn the page so I am writing this review as fast as I can!</span>"

It is sad, but beautifully so, and makes you ask so many bigger questions in life.<br/>This was my first introduction to John Green and I have since purchased the other titles in his repertoire, all of which I have also fallen head over heels for. He's a fantastic story teller who is great at raising life questions without being preachy about it - five stars, no question.</span>"

There was a point at the end of a chapter where I had to physically restrain myself from throwing the book across the room because I was so angry with John Green for making my worst fears a reality.

4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2Y72UDWE5TUCR?ASIN=014242417X	worth a kick in the bumm	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Went in the book with a huge load of expectations reading the review from other fellow readers. But was disappointed within minutes. The whole story revolves around death and cancer, which unfortunately is not my type. Nothing inspiring or bright on the story line. Even the love affair between the hero and heroine is portrayed very poorly.  One star given out of sheer sympathy for the author.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2K1Q0CY3IVGH5?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I was a bit weary about reading a ""Cancer Book,"" as I am not your typical sentimental  , touchy-feely type of girl; however, I am glad I did. You know a book is good when it evokes emotion, and that's exactly what this one did. I laughed, I cried, I felt the butterflies of a good love story and anger at certain characters. This is one of those books that you will pass on to everyone you know!</span>"
1.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RA14XMZ3I2YP?ASIN=014242417X	Oh, what a book! Only wish it was longer!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">John Green's book is an epic and realistic tale of love. It is really the most beautifully and tastefully written book that can make you laugh and cry at the same time. It has sharp, witty humour with loveable characters that take you on an emotional journey through the ups and unfortunately mostly downs of cancer. This has to be one of the best books from John Green and is well worth buying!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1LOKKCNHL1EW?ASIN=014242417X	Good read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I have read better, I have certainly read worse. It is a good story, captivating, but the ending was very disappointing. At times, it was dull, but overall, it was a decent story. It's not one of those books that you would read a second time 'because it was so good you couldn't put it down,' but it was a story that really dug deep and made you think about things. I would recommend to others.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R27SQOOCLF4GCK?ASIN=014242417X	Tugs at the heart strings	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This novel was fantastic. I fell in love with all of the main characters and the way their story unfolded, tragedy and triumphs. John Green has a true gift when it comes to bringing characters to life and doing them justice by fashioning a beautiful tale. I am so emotionally tied to this book, both the characters and the story, that I can hardly see it as a work of fiction! Absolutely grand.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R31Y00RF73OCNX?ASIN=014242417X	Another John Green classic	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Another great John Green book. I don't consider myself much of a reader, and find myself getting bored while reading. But John Green has kept me not only interested in reading two of his books all the way through, but wanting me to read them multiple times. The Fault in Our Stars is a great book and an easy to follow, thought provoking book. Definitely recommend it no matter who you are!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3AQR5PW9JON2Q?ASIN=014242417X	An Ordinary, Extraordinary Story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book manages to be important and expansive and heart-shatteringly good, but also delightfully ordinary. It's a small story, about one girl and the people in her life and the sickness life has handed to her, but it's also so much more. This is both John Green at his best, and a new and more robust John Green we have not yet met. I hope this book means as much to you as it does to me.</span>"

I am a high school English teacher, and after 16 years, I believe John Green writes teenagers as well as any author. Augustus's development reminds me of Alaska and Margo in ""Looking for Alaska"" and ""Paper Towns"" respectively. I enjoyed the story and the character development. If you like John Green or any YA fiction, pick this one up.</span>"

His books are wonderfully and intelligently written. The Fault in Our Stars was just amazing! I loved that the story was told from a female point of view this time. He uses so many literary references in this book and I love that. I think that he is a genius and everyone should read this book and all of his books! DFTBA!</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RKN4C3DOXBNEV?ASIN=014242417X	Beautiful! This deserves more than 5 stars!

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars is easily the most beautiful, well-written novel I've read in a long time. This book had me laughing out loud at times with its character's witty humor. Other times, It had me crying along with the characters. John Green is truly at his best here. He allows you to glimpse into the lives of those who have little time left. I highly recommend reading this book.</span>"

Is any of it realistic? No. But it's a fictional novel, so it's okay. It's mean to be a bit of an escapist novel, and I love it. My fifteen-year-old self would have drooled over Augustus and mourned the lack of real-life Guses in the world. Brilliant book, and I can't wait to read more.</span>"

Neither is it Franz Kafka dying of TB while being nursed by Dora Dymont... but... that said, Augustus and Hazel will break your heart anyway.<br/><br/>There are technical faults in the story, the supporting characters are thinner than Kate Moss, but it's entirely worth it. I've spent time in Amsterdam and he captures it wonderfully.<br/><br/>Have not seen the film yet, but the book is a pleasure. You think the dialog is trying too hard to be cute and smart (and it is) but you get. sucked. in. anyway.<br/><br/>Read it and weep.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2X3R23TSO5MES?ASIN=014242417X	Its not you its me.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The first thing to say, probably, is that this is one of those “Its not you its me” moments in my reading life because John Green writes well. So theres that.<br/><br/>But this one wasnt really for me when it got down to the nitty gritty. Despite the emotional resonance that should be present when reading a story about cancer sufferers, especially young people, I didnt really connect here at all. I kept trying, but it never really took.<br/><br/>It went on a bit in places, there were points when I felt that Mr Green was simply trying to put beautiful words on the page for the sake of it. At times it all felt a bit “oh I’ll make the reader cry here, but here’s a bit of humour for you” by numbers rather than letting the story flow organically<br/><br/>By the time I hit the last third of this book I was ready for it to be over..despite some moments where I could see the potential (when one of the characters was deteriorating in health and mind) by that time I really couldnt bring myself to care much about it. I kind of feel guilty for that.<br/><br/>The main problem for me is, I read a lot. Including a lot of Young Adult fiction of many kinds. And whilst I can see why this is so popular and wonder if I would have been more into it if I’d read it when I was younger, I just didnt think it was THAT good. When it comes to writing emotionally compelling young characters caught up in situations that elicit a huge heartfelt response from me, Patrick Ness and Courtney Summers do it better. By quite a wide margin.<br/><br/>It obviously hits the mark with a LOT of readers though. So for that reason I would still recommend that you read it for yourself. In this case I seem to be a minority opinion. But hey, when it comes to reading, we love what we love. Its just the way it is.<br/><br/>**Borrowed from my daughter, who incidentally adores this book!***<br/><br/>Happy Reading Folks!</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R23VV2PMAVC7WJ?ASIN=014242417X	Well-Written, But Still a Tear-Jerker	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I know it's sacrilegious to admit this in the wake of the many rave reviews this book has received, but I did NOT cry when I read it. Although I did find several scenes very touching and some of the writing beautiful, in the end I didn't cry because I felt the author was trying way too hard to make me do exactly that.<br/><br/>""OK, here's a book about teenagers with cancer who fall in love. Are you crying yet? No? (spoiler alert!) How about if one of them has a relapse? Are you crying NOW? OK, how about if I knock one of them off and have him leave a maudlin love letter behind?""<br/><br/>The whole premise of teenagers dying of cancer when they've just fallen in love is already inherently heartbreaking. But it was as if the author wanted to keep piling on the emotion just to make us cry, which is the classic definition of a tear-jerker.<br/><br/>(I don't usually read young adult novels, so I had no idea who John Green was when a friend insisted I read this book and wasn't familiar with his reputation or any of his previous books. Just so you know I was reading this with a totally objective mind.)<br/><br/>I also thought the main characters' dialog was pretty implausible (no normal teenager talks like that; or is the author saying that this is an exclusive trait of teenagers with terminal cancer?). Besides, the whole topic of young lovers being parted due to cancer has been done so many times already, starting with ""Love Story"" back in 1970. Although this book has its merits and there are plenty of people who will love it, I just couldn't respond to the deliberate emotional manipulation.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1N5PRIDV4RHXH?ASIN=014242417X	An Overall Good Read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I was eager to finally have the opportunity to read “The Fault in Our Stars” by John Green being that I have enjoyed many of his other novels. This book had a lot to live up to considering that I had heard numerous positive reviews. Indeed, I took pleasure in reading such a heroic love story; however, I was disappointed in how the plot and characters developed.<br/> In the story, Hazel Grace Lancaster is a very mature and sophisticated sixteen year old who is battling a terminal case of thyroid cancer. One day, she meets Augustus Waters, otherwise known as Gus, who has lost his leg due to bone tumors. Throughout the book, they grow as people and flourish together as they become two star-crossed lovers. In fact, Gus makes his one “wish” that he has granted to him for the sake of Hazel. Her dream, which becomes a reality, is to meet her favorite author. This part, although touching, was quite predictable.<br/> They travel to Amsterdam, only to be disappointed by Hazel’s idol. At first, the two were upset and despondent. Yet, together they make the best out of their situation and enjoy Amsterdam and each other’s company. Even though traveling to Europe with minimal supervision may sound like a dream come true to most teenagers, I kept going back to one thought while reading this book. Could any of this actually happen in real life? Is it possible that a mother would ever leave her dying daughter to meet a strange man and walk around in a foreign country alone? Answering my own question, I concluded that no, it is not a realistic plot for two young adults.<br/>  Another problem I came across while reading “The Fault in Our Stars” is the intricate language used and general knowledge known by Gus and Hazel. As a teenager myself, I find it hard to believe that the characters are real life people. Because of this, I cannot relate to anything that they do or say. Additionally, such a perfect relationship like that of Gus and Hazel at such a young age is unattainable. One could argue that cancer forces kids to grow up quicker than most; however, I do not believe that even adults could possibly act as mature as Hazel and Gus did in situations presented in this book.<br/>  Nevertheless, the way John Green writes is simply magnificent. His sentence structure and word choice makes the book come alive in ways that many authors cannot achieve. Credit must be given to Green in making a book about two dying children somehow happy and hopeful. The theme of courage is consistent throughout the entire novel and inspires people to live life to the fullest. Even though the characters may seem a bit unrealistic, I could not help to form a bond with the characters and care about their own wellbeing. I did become teary-eyed when Augustus passed away, proving that John Green had done his job of creating a story that provokes emotions in every day teens. Because of this, despite the flaws that I found in “The Fault in Our Stars,” I would still recommend this captivating love story to others.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R33IM82KNB88GH?ASIN=014242417X	Not my cup of tea	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book didn't meet my expectations at all. I was hoping it would be a book my older grand daughter might like to read, but I would be very uncomfortable with that considering the language and some of the situations.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1ZH50LI1C1Q5O?ASIN=014242417X	i.love.this.book.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is exceptionally well written.  John Green put a lot of thought into the way his characters interacted in this masterpiece.  Even after reading this four times, I still catch myself thinking about Hazel Grace and end up reading it again in the usual overnight manner.  I am seventeen and I recommended this book to my 50+ year old boss.  She absolutely adored it as well.  This book is a great self find book. I learned just how fortunate I am with the turn of every page.  I recommend this to people of every gender and age.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R32A8GFH3OUBBL?ASIN=014242417X	Author certainly writes in the voice of teens!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The book was somewhat depressing overall and  perhaps I am old  fashioned but why does a book with a target audience of 14 condone sex? Reading about teens talking &amp; thinking about sex is ok, but doing it? I preferred the movie, which portrayed the teens as beyond high school.<br/>In spite of my better judgement, I gave a copy to my granddaughter, who loved it, as did her siblings. She asked me to send her all of  the author's books, which I did.<br/>Obviously, In spite of a career in secondary education, I am out of touch  with adolescent literature!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1IGHZ8NDBET1N?ASIN=014242417X	A Great Read for Any Age	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I'm not a teenager; I'm not a weeper; I scorn attempts to play on my emotions by books / movies / tv shows. I knew how this book would end after the first few pages. Why then did I end up crying for the last 200 pages of this book? Probably because John Green made me care more about the characters than their disease. No one close to me (and certainly no children) has died of cancer, so I wasn't identifying with the trials of a horrible, debilitating illness. BUT, I do remember the intensity of first love and I can imagine having the specter of imminent death hanging over you - as opposed to the illusion of invincibility that most young people have.<br/><br/>Hazel and Augustus do seem more verbal and thoughtful than most people their age, but then they have been through more than most people of any age. I understand Hazel retreating into the world of a favorite book, and wanting to know what HAPPENS after after the ending - isn't that a metaphor for her abbreviated life?<br/><br/>I heard good things about this book but like a lot of people I was put off when I heard about the subject matter - kids with cancer? no thanks. Unfortunately, the fact that it is classed as Young Adult will also put off many older people - and it shouldn't. This is a book for anyone over the age of 14 or so who loves sharp dialogue and heartbreakingly real characters. And the the catharsis of a good cry.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R4RVGITHF6Y0S?ASIN=014242417X	One of the best books I've read I a long while	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I must admit that I was a little put off at first when I initially learned about the plots.  Reading about Gus and Hazel makes my heart smiles and often forget that Gus is only 17.  It is a very powerful story and very emotional.  I could barely get through the last few chapters because I was a sobbing, crying fool.  I enjoyed the humors, the love story between Gus and Hazel, and the strength that held their family together through this rough time.  I would recommend this book, great read and you will fly through it rather quickly.<br/><br/>Cheers!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1B50EEJOGO9UF?ASIN=014242417X	Speechless...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">As a 13 year old boy who has a higher than average reading level it is hard to find challenging books, this book was an excellent challenge. I learned words that I would not expect to find in vocabulary work book, let alone a teen novel. This goes above and beyond what I ever imagined.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3J9NN917YZSKJ?ASIN=014242417X	I recommend it. I just didn't fawn all over it like most everyone else	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read this for book club. I would have never picked this up on my own, but I'm glad I read it.  Most of the reviews for The Fault In Our Starts are so very complimentary that I really wanted fall in love with this book like everyone else did.  Don't get me wrong, it's not bad nor is it boring. The book is good. It's actually pretty good, but I seriously missed what was so mesmerizing that mostly everyone else seemed to loved it to pieces.<br/><br/>Yes the story is sad, having cancer is sad. The only thing more sad about having cancer is a child or teenager with cancer. Especially terminal cancer. And that's what this book is about.<br/><br/>I felt so bad for the teenagers in the book. The whole story from beginning to end seemed like none of them could catch a break. I found a few slivers of laughter here and there when Gus or Hazel said or did something sort of funny. Even their friend from the support group was so adorable. I almost felt the most bad for him because he was so heart broken by the little girl breaking up with him. When I stopped to think about how a teenager would react to certain situations, this book made total sense.<br/><br/>I could even feel the parents pain about their child being terminally ill.  Seeing how it such a painful and unfortunate situation affected different families and marriages was also intriguing.<br/><br/>Again, this book was good, so I recommend it. I just didn't fawn all over it like most everyone else.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3HUMHIZ0S85LT?ASIN=014242417X	Love, Death, and the Meaning of Life	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is unusually honest, thought-provoking, and moving. At first, the love element reminded me of Twilight, but this book is far too intelligent and eloquent to sustain that comparison.<br/><br/>Helpfully, it gives insight into how teen cancer patients might think and feel. (It's not always sanctified.)<br/><br/>This book is particularly transparent in its (existential) worldview and baldly confronts questions of life, death, and eternity. The Christianity Hazel encounters seems to be an anemic, superficial collection of catchphrases: ""Living your best life now."" Hazel treats it as an indulgent, irrelevant sentimentality, and it's no wonder. Much like Solomon at certain points in his Ecclesiastes, she rages, rages against the dying of the light, in a finite, meaningless universe, and she needs solid meaning.<br/><br/>When reading this book, I sometimes wished Hazel could see a robust picture of the God of the Bible, the God Who rules over the mystery and misery. The God Who knows suffering better than any other, the God Who took on the cancer of my sin: the crucified God. The God Who makes all things new. She hears echoes of Him in the goodness of creation and in the love of Gus and her family. But in her zero-g world, these can never bring the ultimate gravity she needs.<br/><br/>--<br/><br/>By the way, the audiobook performance is amazing--perhaps even better than reading the physical book!</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R32TZ1179L3OC8?ASIN=014242417X	I didn't like it.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This will be a bit hard to explain without spoilers, but I'll do my best.<br/>Maybe I was expecting too much from this book, with all the 4-5 star reviews and comments from everyone, but I did not like it. At first I must admit I was really hooked, but torwards the middle and end of the book, there are story lines that I think should have been explored deeper, or at least make them more significant. Even when Hazel has an important revelation by the dutch writer, her reaction was what...maybe a paragraph? I feel like the author didn't deliver. And it's not that the book is mainly for teens and I'm 26, because I still cry every time I read Bridge to Terabithia, the book simply caused no emotions in me, and it's a real shame becaue the characters are likeable, but all the details and events of the book are vaguely portrayed.Some chapters start with random information the author uses to make a point, that turns out really isn't that important (Maslow hierarchy...really?)  I think teenagers are perfectly capable of exploring deeper, darker emotions and situations in a book, and if the Fault In Our Stars had done this, it would have been truely amazing.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3HNT2MAY8JQDO?ASIN=014242417X	Sweet story, but not my favorite.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I think I may have gone in to this book with expectations that were a bit too high. Afterall, look at it's Amazon ratings. Admittedly, I was a bit hesitant about jumping into it after I read the synopsis (cancer books aren't really my thing), but after skimming through some of the reviews, I deduced that there must be more to this book than kids dealing with cancer. However, The Fault in Our Stars seemed like a more realistic and less poetic version of a depressing Nicholas Sparks novel.<br/><br/>Now don't get me wrong, it was [bitter]sweet and I really liked the main characters, but something was just off and I think that may be attributable to John Green's writing style. I haven't read anything else by JG, but I couldn't get to a place where I felt anything more than sympathy for the unfortunate Cancer Kids--which is exactly what they didn't want! I couldn't feel Hazel and Gus' pain, I could only watch from the outside and feel horrible for them. I couldn't become Hazel in my mind, put myself in her shoes and hurt as she hurt. I was only allowed to peer in and then feel guilty that I didn't have cancer, and therefore couldn't really understand the feeling of having numbered days left in this life.<br/><br/>Ultimately, I just never saw how this book was about anything more than kids that had ""fault in their stars"" (aka cancer). I did shed tears during certain pivotal moments and I absolutely loved Augustus Waters who made me laugh out loud several times. I did get a bit bored whenever he and Hazel launched into discussions on existential realities and the like, but I did enjoy their exchanges on bigger infinities. Also, the significance of the word ""okay"" resonated deeply with me. It was a decent if not somber read, but I think I'll stick to non-cancer books from now on.<br/><br/>Oh, and why didn't we get to read Augustus's sequel to AIA and find out what happened to Anna's mom and the Dutch Tulip Man?!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R34746QMS4ZWT3?ASIN=014242417X	Review for Teachers	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">'The Fault in Our Stars' has not made it onto many Young Adult 'must read' lists for no reason. It's well-written and Green provides a compelling, emotional story. While this novel deals with rather 'heavy' subject matter, it is presented in a way that teens can handle. The protagonist (Hazel) is relatable to many teens, not only because of her age. Obvious parallels can be drawn between readers who have or have been effected by serious illnesses. However, many teens who have not been effected by cancer can connect with her as well. While there are scenes depicting sexuality, they are mild enough for most teens to read. I would recommend this novel for those in  high school. Many students in 7th or 8th grade would be able to handle this novel and I am confident that the reading level is appropriate for middle school. However, some students may not appreciate or understand much of what is happening in Hazel's head.<br/> Green's novel could be used as a vehicle to teach most of the goals in the new Common Core. 'The Fault in Our Stars' could be incorporated into a unit about dynamic characters, questioning society, and many others. It would be interesting to plan a cross-curricular lesson with a science/biology teacher for this novel. Students could use the novel as a nonfiction reference while learning about different kinds of cancer.<br/> 'The Fault in Our Stars' is a quick read and most young students would find it interesting. It has contemporary allusions that may help students connect to the material. It also contains multiple themes that are fairly universal (young love, loss/death) and it provides small moments for cross-curricular connections (biology, social studies). The main drawback for this text would be the emotional weight of the story. The cancer and loss could be a a connector for many students, but it would not be far fetched for a student to be 'too emotional' and become uncomfortable reading (of course, pushing boundaries of comfort can be good within reason). You could meet some resistance as this book is fairly new, it is at an easier reading level (although it deals with difficult subject matter), and it's not part of an established canon.<br/> Overall, I think this would be a wonderful book to teach with upper levels of Junior High and lower levels of High School.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1AQK7MLH2COJF?ASIN=014242417X	For Teachers	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">John Green's The Fault in our Stars is a great young adult novel for lessons on love, loss, and suffering.  Hazel, Augustus, and Isaac are, in some ways, typical teenagers who experience their first loves, fights, and breakups, and therefore are relatable to the young adult audience.  However, their medical conditions make them unique, and give them different perspectives on the world and their relationships with both family and friends.  Hazel's fear of building relationships because of the hurt that she might cause is something that can reach young readers who are afraid to open up in their own relationships for various reasons.  When Hazel does open up, she is eventually hurt, and that is a reality of life.  The important message to take away is that Hazel does not regret her time with Augustus and wish that she had not been hurt.  Instead it teaches a lesson about appreciating what you can have and handling disappointment and loss.<br/><br/> The themes in Green's novel can certainly be taught to a whole class, focusing on relationships with family and friends, the fear of hurting a loved one, and handling loss.  I think a message about appreciating and experiencing life with the time you have is incredibly important to any teen audience.  However, it is also a good book to keep as an independent read for students who might be going through more similar situations to the characters.  For a student who is either diagnosed him/herself, or has a loved one who is ill or dying, Green's novel provides characters who are also suffering and let their guards down.  It can show students that it is okay to falter from the ""strong fighter"" that Hazel describes as the typical cancer patient.  It is impossible for me to know how any terminally ill person is feeling, but Hazel, Augustus, and Isaac could very well be for someone what Anna in An Imperial Affliction was for Hazel.<br/><br/> The only cautions for using this book in a classroom setting would be some of the language and the sexual scene in Amsterdam, but these elements are important to the story.  The language shows the emotions that a sixteen-year-old experiences, especially in their situations, in a more authentic way.  The sexual scene in Amsterdam, and the discussion of it both earlier in the novel and after it happens, show the reader Hazel and Augustus's desire to experience a full life in the short time that they know they have.  That being said, I think The Fault in Our Stars would be best used with students in grades 10 to 12.  These students will find the life experiences that the characters have more relatable, and the content more age appropriate</span>"

I was hoping to be pleasantly surprised but I was not. I even bought this book as a gift  for someone before I read it.

I was completely engrossed in this book from the moment I began reading, I literally could not put it down.<br/>The story is sad, that's a given just by reading the other reviews. But the story is a complete paradigm shifter, it has changed the way I view my own unremarkable existence.<br/>Green's writing is beautiful and well crafted. This book reaches a depth of emotion most authors can only aspire to.<br/>Well done Mr. Green, well done.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RTR4GTK2TVFP7?ASIN=014242417X	Changed my perspective	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Okay, so now that I finished this book, I've read some negative reviews that kind of irk me. People say that these teenagers are unrealistic and hard to believe. I am a 16 year old girl, and this is completely true. I have never (and probably will never) met/meet teenagers like Hazel, Augustus and/or Issac... Their wit and overall amazing-ness astound me. Like seriously, an attractive star basketball player who loves to read &amp; has great humour?! But that's why I love this book. I mean, if I wanted some real teenage dialogue, why would I be reading?? I like that I can be taken away on a journey via reading--away from reality, you know? The only downfall is that it makes reality depressing, I guess. And I like learning SAT vocab words through books... How else am I going to remember them? With that said, I am still a 16-year-old girl, so I feel like some of these concepts are above me. I need to re-read this, especially when I get older (I have not experienced a person close to me dying before... I am glad about this fact though).<br/>DFTBA!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R24LJYGTFFX9EM?ASIN=014242417X	Emotionally manipulative	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I'm not so sure about this one. The story is appropriately sad, but that's about it. It just makes you feel sad. In that way, I feel this book is kind of emotionally manipulative. The author also seems to think he is a better writer than he is, which creates a strangely pretentious work. The characters are also ridiculously unrealistic and the book glamorizes cancer. It's not horrible, but for all the hype it isn't worth it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R86EKMCW4VV39?ASIN=014242417X	Simply Brilliant!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Before this book, I'd read another John Green book, Looking for Alaska, that everyone seemed to adore but left me feeling cold. So when I started seeing stellar reviews for this book, I was a bit skeptical that it would entrance me as much as everyone else. Still, way too many bloggers that I trusted absolutely raved about how amazing and uplifting and funny and sad this book was that I felt I had to give it a chance. So I did. (And I stayed up way too late last night finishing it.) As I wiped away my tears and hit the sack, it occurred to me that the perfect way to review this book would be to capture my feelings about it as the five stages of grief. (Very apropos given that the subject of the book is teenagers with cancer.) So before I forget this brilliant, middle of the night inspiration, I'm writing my review the day after finishing the book (which is pretty much unprecedented for me as I still have reviews to write for books I read in APRIL!!!)<br/><br/>Stage 1: Denial (before starting the book): This book can't possibly be as good as everyone says it is. How can a book about teens with cancer be funny and uplifting yet also heart-breaking? And a YA book that really moves me? Bah humbug. I'm too old for these YA books. They disappoint me more often than not.<br/><br/>Stage 2: Anger (within the first five chapters): Damn it! This book is brilliant! I'm loving Hazel Grace and Augustus Waters and their witty repartee and view of life. Why did I wait so long to read this? Why did I delay? Why didn't I listen? What if I'd decided to chump out and not read this and MISSED IT? Arggghhh...you stupid fool!<br/><br/>Stage 3: Bargaining (about the middle of the book): I don't want this book to end. I want to stay with these characters longer. If I slow down my reading pace, I can spread the delight of this book out over a few days. Maybe if I start another book, this book will never end and I'll get to read it for days and days.<br/><br/>Stage 4: Depression (at about the three-quarter mark until the end): I can barely read through my tears and my smiles. I'm having my heart broken by this author over and over. Such emotion and pain and laughter and feelings of truth and beauty. Each page takes me closer to the end of this amazing gem of a book and I don't want that to happen.<br/><br/>Stage 5: Acceptance (now): Everyone was right. The Fault In Our Stars is a truly special book that transcends the YA genre and speaks to the human heart. It is fierce and funny and unapologetic and realistic and it broke my heart in the best of ways. A true five-star read and one I'm grateful to have read. Thank you, John Green. I bow before you in your brilliance. You're no Peter Van Houten!</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1FIY6JGH8E4H6?ASIN=014242417X	Excellent	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read this book in less than 24 hours and while I'm not a crier (and I am a woman!) this book did make me get that blasted lump in my throat, but not until the very end.<br/><br/>I loved the sarcasm and wit that came from all the teenagers.  It made them real.<br/><br/>Loved it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R21MS8BG6XKDNM?ASIN=014242417X	John Green -- Cliche-slayer	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was in the teen reader section of the bookstore, and I picked it out for one of my children. I ended up reading it myself -- in one evening. What the book has: Writing like this: ""There are a number of ways to establish someone's approximate survival expectations without actually *asking*. I used the classic: 'So, are you in school?' Generally, your parents pull you out of school at some point if they expect you to bite it.""<br/><br/>Also, metaphors. The book also has metaphors. The metaphors do bother some people, and they are sometimes heavy-handed, but they are always playful, and so you don't care. For example, the fact that Gus and Hazel go to Holland is a metaphor -- I'm guessing. There is an old essay written by a mother of special needs children that talks about how parenthood is supposed to be like going to Italy. You get all ramped up about going to Italy -- the sights, the food, the experience. Everyone else goes to Italy, too. But when you get off the plane, you find that you did not land in Italy, you landed in Holland. And you can't get to Italy, you have to stay in Holland. Raising children with special needs puts you in another country, an unexpected country, the essay goes -- not a horrible country, just a different one. The point of the essay is that you learn that there are great things about Holland, too, even if you don't make it to Italy.<br/><br/>I'm presuming that John Green read the essay, and that these cancer sufferers are also in Holland, while the healthy kids get to live in Italy. The book is full of metaphor, and the book-within-the-book subplot is part of it, sure, but also makes the book more interesting.<br/><br/>What else the book has? The book has real parents. I mean, as characters. They say witty things. This is a refreshing change from books where the parents are clueless dolts at worst and invisible at best.<br/><br/>What the book does not have: Any real, apparent consequences of actually suffering from cancer. You know that the characters have cancer because the book says so. You know that the characters are dealing with the fact that they could die. I'm grateful that there is no Brave Cancer Sufferer here, but instead of offering up a different reality, Green sort of just mostly avoids the one we all just can't stand. Doesn't the medication have any side effects? Doesn't the prosthetic itch? Doesn't lung cancer cause wheezing, coughing (up blood?), chest pain? Hazel has lungs that do a terrible job of being lungs -- can there be a more terrifying feeling than that of suffocating? Probably, but you have to go rent the movie Saw to find out. The regular experience of that kind of trauma should leave some sort of footprint. Hazel is a teenager -- in a wonderful place. What happens when she misjudges her stamina and finds herself gasping for breath? While as a reader I'm desperately grateful that there is no Sappy Sweetness, or Heroism in the Face of Pain, Green missed an opportunity.<br/><br/>Obviously, too much gritty realism and the book changes into something else entirely -- risking, in fact, becoming exactly what Green is trying to subvert. But Hazel is dying of cancer -- and so the cancer should have been more present. Showing these adolescents responding to weakness, pain, and the ugly reality of cancer -- in the way that these two bright, brave, interesting adolescents would have -- would have made this a better book.<br/><br/>What the book has makes it worth reading. It's good, solid, intelligent fiction. It could have been literature.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3AYS17NE2SF9B?ASIN=014242417X	A MUST READ!!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book had me hooked from the 9th sentence on the first page.  TFIOS is profound.  I know many people are saying ""but ... but ... it's a cancer book!""  But it's not *that* cancer book.  Cancer is personal to me - times two.  It's not a topic people like, it's not a subject that especially when it involves young teenagers in the prime of their lives that people flock too - we run, we hide, we shake our heads vigiliantly saying 'oh no, oh no'.  But this one is a keeper, a literary work that left me in a state that many books have not.  BRAVO, John Green!<br/><br/>This is my first John Green book.  I was BLOWN AWAY that it was written by 1. a man and 2. a man who, assuming the picture on the back cover is correct, is NOT 16 or anywhere near it. Seriously?!  How a grown man can wrap himself into the character, the persona, the language and thoughts of a 16 year old girl is sheer brilliance.  That takes skill and raw talent to pull off.<br/><br/>The character is Hazel {""Hazel Grace!"") who is a 16-year-old cancer survivor, having her first near-death encounter at 13.  She becomes a reclusive teenager having completed her GED instead of attend school due to her cancer and having to carry an oxygen tank and cannula everywhere she goes. At her weekly cancer support group, many characters are introduced which play an important role in this book, from Isaac who will eventually go blind and his relationship with Monica, to the ever fabulous Augustus Waters, aka Gus, who was left with just one leg after a cancer amputation.  The two are so richly described and the ensuing relationship is one that blossoms from support, love, fear, etc and Hazel's life is transformed immediately and profoundly. She's given a second chance with a new cancer treatment drug that is buying her time.<br/><br/>This book teeters on having just enough sass and spunk and humor (Hazel) to get you through without being a total downer.  Gus's character is flourishing.  It makes you stretch your mind to places - especially a parent - you might not think about, ever ... gratefully so.  This book is about life.  About Death. And about the journey.  The description and sheer beauty of Amsterdam felt like I was there with them both.  It was so rich and lush and dare I say, romantic.<br/><br/>I think my only critic was that through-out the novel, they are chasing down the answers to An Imperial Affliction and asked repeatedly ""What happens at the end!!  What about the Tulip Man!  What happens to Anna?!""  I disliked strongly the character Peter Van Houten, but then, I think he was the catalyst amongst a cast that we loved :)  So, at the very end, I felt like TFIOS just ended.  Kinda like AIA.  And now I want more.  I want a future for Hazel, for her parents.  And as they chased Van Houten all the way to Amsterdam for answers, I ask ""What happens to HAZEL!!?!""<br/><br/>Hands down: *5 stars*.  You'll want to hug your kids.  You'll want to hug EVERYONE after reading this.  Just make sure you keep the Kleenex nearby when you crack the cover.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R16GPRBZKYRHG2?ASIN=014242417X	A search for the deeper meanings in life	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">John Green has done a good job with this novel, summing up that search for the deep meanings and purposes in lives that are destined for the grave. Many complain that the vocabulary is unrealistic in this book for two teenagers. I think that on the contrary Augustus and Hazel realized that since their life would be so short, they needed to spend more time thinking and learning to experience the world while they still could. I think that this is so appropriate for them as well as us.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RJMXV3A7AKKO4?ASIN=014242417X	TFIOS in the classroom	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars is by far one of my favorite books. The story is about a bold, sarcastic teenager named Hazel Grace Lancaster whom has been struggling with Cancer for the past few years. Her life has been impacted greatly by the Cancer and has left her with bum lungs, puffy cheeks, and an increasing state of depression. At her painfully boring support group meetings, she meets two people that change her life considerably, the lovesick, blinded Isaac and the one-legged (but still overwhelmingly attractive) Augustus Waters. Their story is followed as they ask the biggest questions life has to offer, and as they learn, through ultimate love and untimely loss.<br/><br/>I kept thinking while reading this book how great it would be to use in a secondary English classroom. The many themes found within the novel would be very beneficial to high school students whether or not they are suffering from a health impairment. Hazel and her friends have the same questions as many young people about life and death, their curiosity is just more urgent. They are incredibly relatable characters, and John Green helps the reader to understand sickness in an entirely new and personal way. TFIOS is written so that the reader can grasp at what Hazel's life is like, living with her sickness. It depicts the hardships resulting from such an illness or impairment, including: family stress, changes in school environment, the exhaustion of having a physical condition, and yet, how beautiful opportunities may always take place. This inspiring novel expresses to the young reader that people are people, disability or not, and that anyone is capable of an adventure.<br/><br/>Although others in society (parents, old friends, etc.) treat Hazel differently because she wheels around oxygen with her and wears a cannula, her friends Isaac and Augustus and she share a special bond through their impairments and similar interests. Their abruptness about the likelihood of death is shocking, but would be useful to generate thought-provoking classroom discussions about how to lead a fulfilling life and what it must be like to have a much more immediate sense of death at such a young age. What's great about The Fault in Our Stars is that it isn't a book ABOUT disabilities or cancer, but instead the meaning of this short experience we call ""life"" that we as individuals are constantly seeking. The characters just happen to be dealing with various forms of disease while they tackle life's greatest questions and explore what the world has to offer. Their responses do reflect their situations, but all the more useful for young adults to compare their ideas with those of peers whom live such a drastically different life.</span>"

It's a great and terrible beauty that will be the best ten bucks you might ever spend.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2FNPI74E873J2?ASIN=014242417X	John Green Just Keeps Getting More Amazing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">In a strange way, I always sort of dread reading anything by John Green. Weird, right? See, I live in perpetual fear that one day he will let me down and his book will be less brilliant than I'm expecting. My expectations when it comes to John Green are ridiculously high, because, basically, he's like the god of the nerds and, even in the books I like less, his writing makes me laugh and makes me feel. Despite this constant fear, his books have, so far, improved every time, with The Fault in Our Stars being his best yet, dark and funny and honest and touching and hopeful and depressing and painful and perfect.<br/><br/>*wipes away tears*<br/><br/>When people talk about this book, the first thing they mention is the sadness of it, of how many tissues are requisite to getting through this novel without emerging a snot monster at the end. What struck me much more strongly, though, was the sense of humor and optimism running through the book, even the darkest moments. The humor doesn't subtract from the pain or the suffering; it humanizes it, and enhances the strength of the characters.<br/><br/>In the past, my main complaint about John Green's books (no, I did not think they were all completely perfect) were the characters. They were real, but they were annoying and repetitive (especially with Paper Towns and Looking for Alaska. None of them did I fall completely in love with, although Tiny Cooper was close. In Hazel and Augusta, John Green's characterization has seriously hit its stride in my opinion.<br/><br/>Hazel's voice is just...incredible. Her sarcasm, her brutal honesty, her anger, her intelligence and her wit all made her one of the most wonderful narrators I've ever encountered. I love the way she phrases things. I love that she uses some words that I don't know the meaning of, which really doesn't happen often in my reading. Hazel feels wholly like a kindred spirit, like we would be friends if we ever met, which would totally never happen since we're both so anti-social. Also, she feels one hundred percent like a female to me, always a remarkable thing for a male author to accomplish.<br/><br/>Hazel and Augustus meet and there's an immediate attraction. Though they immediately feel for one another on some level, John Green deftly doesn't go anywhere near instalove territory. For one thing, there's Hazel's cancer, which holds the two apart. Even if there weren't and they immediately leaped into a relationship, I would have been okay with it, because the two legitimately develop a bond. They wisecrack and have this insane rapport; they share a love of word play and navel gazing. They trade their favorite novels and both go into the experience with an open mind, even though the novels were not what they were expecting. They are, without a doubt, one of the best, most convincing, most well-matched couples I have encountered in fiction.<br/><br/>Throughout The Fault in Our Stars, John Green has woven a lot of thoughts about the value of fiction and about what a novel really is, both to the reader and to the author. Hazel's favorite novel, An Imperial Affliction by Peter Van Houten, is a work of literary fiction about a young girl with cancer; Augustus' is a series of novelizations based on a video game about the adventures of Staff Sergeant Max Mayhem. While there's clearly a difference of literary merit between the two, I loved how John Green stressed the importance of both.<br/><br/>I feel like there isn't much more that I can say about this without cutting into your enjoyment of the book. I realize I didn't talk about the cancer at all, but I suppose that was intentional, because the book isn't so much about the cancer as about the people who are partially made of cancer. The cancer is them after all, not a foreign element. The book is wholly about cancer and wholly not, though I know that probably doesn't make any sense. What I mean is that this is in no way simply some weepy tearjerker stereotype of a cancer book.<br/><br/>My words are failing me, so I leave you now with this: The Fault in Our Stars is everything I dreamed it would be and more. John Green constantly increases his awesomeness. With this novel, he will break your heart, repair said heart a few sizes larger, make you laugh, give you hope, rip your heart to pieces again, and basically tell you the utter truth about a lot of awful things also known as life.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1S5F5REY1I7V3?ASIN=014242417X	Incredibly Moving. A Wonderful Book.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">As a mother who screens everything her 13-year-old daughter reads, I've always felt conflicted when I come across a book that is brilliantly written, brave and touching - but that which has in it certain actions that we, as a conservative family, would not otherwise condone under normal circumstances. In the case of some wonderful books, such as those by Sarah Dessen, I put them on hold for when said daughter is older, and more likely to encounter similar dilemmas. In the case of ""The Fault in Our Stars"" by John Green, I cannot recommend the book highly enough. For those of us lucky enough to live a life in which the fact of death is a certainty but when death occurs is not, we can afford to be conservative, cautious and patient. What happens when, at 16, you *know* you're going to die? Perhaps the bravest among us would still choose to live a conservative, cautious, patient life. For those who choose to live life to the fullest they can, barring hurting someone or something else, surely we are no judge. This is a humbling book, and I am truly grateful it was written. Said daughter's review follows:<br/><br/>""'The Fault in Our Stars' by John Green has to be one of the best books I have ever read yet, because I believe that the best books are the ones that make you want to go out and DO something, and this book made me want to cry my eyes out and at the same time march right up to God/Allah/Buddha/whoever and ask him: 'Why?'<br/><br/>""Because really, that is the only question in life we can't answer. Why do people leave us? Why do we have cancer? Why can't we be happy?<br/><br/>""Sixteen-year-old Hazel's life sucks. Then again, she has cancer in her lungs, so her life is probably going to be pretty short. But despite her parents worrying over her 24/7, and her friends abandoning her, and the fact that she has to go to some so-called 'Support Group', which really just makes everyone MORE miserable than they already are, Hazel is doing okay. Not great, not horribly - just okay.<br/><br/>""And then she meets seventeen-year-old Augustus.<br/><br/>""Augustus had bone cancer, and his old girlfriend died from cancer as well. But he is more alive than anyone Hazel's ever known - and they fall in love.<br/><br/>""But Augustus has his own secrets, and sometimes the worst lies are the lies you tell to yourself.<br/><br/>""Okay, I know I already said this, but I love this book. Love it, love it, love it.  Hazel is so funny and Augustus is so brave, and the whole entire book is just so sad and wonderful and bittersweet, and should totally be a classic. :-)<br/><br/>""My favorite part though, would have to be a toss up between the ending and the beginning - in the beginning, Hazel hasn't met Augustus yet, and he hasn't shown her how to *live*. She was just existing. In the end, though, Hazel knows how to live, and she is living the best she can, and it hurts a LOT.<br/><br/>""I would have to give the book five stars (duh) : two stars for the plot, two stars for the characters and one star for the writing.<br/><br/>""Read.

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RUY1QFLGN3ZI4?ASIN=014242417X	Why the best book I ever read is the best book I ever read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in our Stars is a novel above life. It also involves love. Isn't it wonderful, when someone comes along and restores your faith in true love? Not the true love of fairy tales, or the true love of an angst-y teenage novel involving vampires or werewolves or suicidal star-crossed lovers, but true love meaning love which is true: Deep and honest and not really perfect yet endlessly perfect and infinite caring for another person which is, has to be, must be truly felt by some person towards some other person and reciprocated.<br/><br/>I began reading The Fault in our Stars at around midnight last night. I finished it at 6.00 this morning.<br/><br/>It is beautiful. I look upon the world with more joy and gladness than I did yesterday. It messed with my emotions, made me laugh and cry and crushed me and elated me, just as every truly great book should. The style is so easy and natural that it is impossible not to lose yourself in the beauty of the novel.<br/>The skill and depth of the author, whose imaginings and philosophies have touched me and encouraged me and changed my outlook on the world, amaze me. I firmly believe that Hazel's story (and Augustus' and Isaac's and Hazel's Mom's and Dad's and Peter Van Houten's stories) will stay with me for the rest of my life, having given me a fresh appreciation of the universe.</span>"

""Looking for Alaska"" was my all time favorite book. Nothing could compare. So when I saw this book, I assumed it'd be good. Same author, it's about cancer. Somewhat like the movie/book ""My Sister's Keeper"". I was in. Although Green knows how to make a reader laugh, I was quite disappointed. It seemed more like a first novel, before the masterpiece of ""Looking for Alaska"". It was much different, and I wouldn't pick it up again.</span>"

3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3KJN3B6Z8NZ0R?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read this book while in waiting room for my son therapy sessions. I cried. No, correction, I bawled. The secretary lady looked at me like,"" What is wrong with that girl!"" Umm, whats wrong with me is that I just read the most epic story ever!<br/><br/>When I started this book I expected many things. Death, love, new adventures, but never did I think that this book will take me where it did. It took my heart, star-crossed lovers, and an impending death mixed it all together leaving me in a puddle of my tears. What gets me is how everything is so unexpected. I mean you expected it, but you never think that it will go the way it goes.<br/><br/>The love in the book is so pure. It's a love that is cherished with every moment that they have. They don't waste time or beat around the bush. They take every single minute, slowly, carefully, entwining whatever time they have left.<br/><br/>The ending. Geesh! This is the part that crush me to pieces. The letter at the end is so brutally honest, so loving, so freaking epic, that I sobbed in that waiting chair. I could not, for the life of me, hold in my tears. Mr. John Green, for you to write such an divine, life changing book, it makes me see things differently. That, ""What a slut time is. She screws everybody."" True. So freaking true.<br/><br/>Take my word for it and read this book. After reading this book, you will learn to appreciate the time you have, even if its short. The Fault In Our Stars leads the reader to a vulnerability that they do not see coming. The reader falls prey to the amazing writing of John Green, leading them to a story that will single-handedly break you down. Want an epic story that will blow your mind, read The Fault In Our Stars.</span>"

I loved that it was honest about the struggles the characters were facing with their cancer. I loved that the characters, and not just the primary ones, were fully developed and engaging. Each character draws you into their part of the story and illustrates the complexity of relationships. I loved that the family ties were never superseded or displaced by the teenage bonds that develop.<br/><br/>This book is smart. The kids are smart. The parents are facing heartbreaking realities. The friends are faced with holding onto the pieces they are given.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R22PFNZP19KJXX?ASIN=014242417X	I love when books break my heart just to put it together again	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I don't really even know how I want to start this review. This book is wonderful, in all the ways a book can be wonderful. It beautifully written and I was instantly attached to the characters. When I started this book, I read the first chapter and knew I was a goner. I knew two things when I finished that first chapter, I loved this book and I was going to cry. You can't get that emotionally attached to characters in a book about terminal cancer patients, you are going to go to pieces.<br/><br/>This book is laugh out loud funny, sorrowfully sad and smart. I love John Green, I have read Looking For Alaska (which is amazing) and Paper Towns. His voice is real and authentic. It sounds like how a teenager today would talk, which is not something you get when you read Young Adult books, they often leave out the swearing and the crudeness that often comes along in teenagery speech. He does this in a smart way too, he doesn't dumb them down to only swear words. How the character speak is real but at the sometime smart and have specific voices. Augustus Waters and Hazel Grace are both wonderfully real characters that I wish were my friends. I just want to sit down and have a conversation with them. But then again the world is not a wish granting factory...<br/><br/>Summery:<br/>Hazel Grace Lancaster has thyroid cancer. A miracle drug has stalled the inevitable, she is going to die. She has slowly and deliberately withdrew from her world. She doesn't go to high school, spends her time watching horrible reality TV, taking college classes and hanging out with her best friends, Mom and Dad.  She does this to minimize the damage that her impeding doom will have on loved ones. Oh, she still has a few friends from her old life but she keeps them afar. This has been her life for about 3 years, her mother wants her to have a life. She makes Hazel go to a support group where she meets one Augustus Waters who turns her life inside out and upside down. He is also a cancer survivor who lost part of his leg to a bone cancer. Together they learn about love, loss, strength, pain, happiness and the universe.<br/><br/>The part that makes this book so beautiful for me is the small details. Like that Hazel names her oxygen pump, Phillip and Augustus call her Hazel Grace. Or the way they talk to their parents. It is just beautiful and heartbreaking, a must read. John Green officially goes on my ""Authors Who I Always Buy Their Books"" list.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1LDMEAMLA67YO?ASIN=014242417X	The Book of Immense Amazing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book literally blew me away. I started to read it and would not put it down. I read it consistently for 54 hours straight and was done. I cried, I laughed, I smiled, and for the past couple weeks John Green has become one of my all-time favorite authors. The thought process of The Fault in Our Stars is phenomenal and extraordinary. I cannot think of another book with as honest of writing that this book has (except other John Green books) and the worlds of Hazel and Augustus changed my view-point of life and gripped my heart. They will never leave my memory, nor will John Green or this book. I am truly grateful for all its given me.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R7ECAYXX0BPGT?ASIN=014242417X	Loved it.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">There's so many other beautifully written reviews on this book, that mine will probably seem repetitive and go unnoticed. However, I have to write my thoughts on it anyway.<br/><br/>When I finished reading TFIOS, I went out into the living room to tell my mom about the story. Excluding the spoilers, this is pretty much what I told her:<br/><br/>I really enjoyed John Green's honesty in this book. He didn't over romanticize the relationship between Augustus and Hazel, and didn't over dramatize the cancer situation. From what I could see, he tried to keep the situations as close to real as possible. And what I mean by that, is that if it were a real situation between two very real people, the thoughts, and feelings of said people would probably be similar to these characters. Happy moments were happy, sad moments were sad, awkward moments were awkward, and angry moments were filled with anger. It was an emotional read, but a very good read at that.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RIHNTT2EDD9I5?ASIN=014242417X	Review of The Fault in Our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">If perfection can be achieved in a book, then The Fault in Our Stars has achieved it.<br/><br/>I am overwhelmed by how much this story affected me.  Even more so now that I'm studying many of the techniques used by John Green in writing this book.<br/><br/>I'm not sure why I would ever feel compelled to pick up a story about a teenager who is struggling with terminal cancer, but John Green's name has carrying power, and so I did.  What I did not expect was the bittersweet humor that was injected into every. single. page.<br/><br/>Seriously, for a book that (you would think) has a foregone conclusion (this is exactly what I thought when I picked it up - no spoiler here), would you expect to be laughing while wiping away tears?  I expected the tears, but not the laughter.<br/><br/>Hazel's voice is so genuine that it gives me this pleasant pain in my heart to remember it.  I get the pain because I miss her.  She is someone I want to know, and I somewhat resent the fact that she is merely a figment of Green's imagination.  It isn't fair.<br/><br/>What else isn't fair about this book is the brilliant method in which Green puts a book into the book, and the idea.. well, read the book.  I was astonished.  My jaw literally dropped. So, so brilliant.<br/><br/>Filled with twists and turns - you cannot take any moment for granted in this beautiful book.  I highly recommend you check it out as soon as possible.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R7BRRM3X6LAPZ?ASIN=014242417X	If you ever read a book about kids with cancer, make it this one	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I just finished* it today. I'm hesitant to recommend this book to many people, but only because I think many people really don't want to spend their free time reading about dying children. Which is understandable. But it's really, really good. Certainly, everyone who knows a kid with a terminal disease should have to read this, and a lot of other people should read it, anyway.<br/><br/>Both main characters (the boy and the girl) are thoughtful and funny and sharp and witty and cynical, and they make the story delightful to read. Well, 'delightful' insofar as a book about kids with terminal cancer can be delightful. 'Delightful' in a way that leaves you crying for an hour. But delightful nonetheless.<br/><br/>It's young adult fiction, but written in a way that that recognizes the 'adult' in 'young adult,' and doesn't underestimate their capacity for nuance, intellect, and emotion. It reminds me of the Maurice Sendak quote ""what is too often overlooked...is the fact that from their earliest years children live on familiar terms with disrupting emotions, fear and anxiety are an intrinsic part of their everyday lives, they continually cope with frustrations as best they can. And it is through fantasy that children achieve catharsis.""<br/><br/>The protagonist, Hazel Grace, is simultaneously wise and angsty, though much more of the former than the latter. This very precociousness is what makes the book so wonderful to read--she comes out with casual gems of wisdom that set this adult reader back on her heels. But while she refers to herself as a 'kid' and a 'child' throughout the book, you are hard pressed to remember that she is one. This would really strain belief in most books (and it does to an extent here), but you can accept her precociousness if you accept that someone who is unique to begin with, and is then forced to grow up far too fast, could become so sage.  The main male character, Augustus, shows a similar sagacity. He's the kind every bookish teenager (or bookish 20-something) wants to fall in love with. And I can that you will fall in love with him (and that it will make you feel pedophilic, since he's 17).<br/><br/>I caught myself about to rate it 4 stars, but then realized that that was only because it's a little too young-adult for my taste. But I can criticize a book for belonging to its genre. So, in conclusion, this book gets the first star for making me think; the second star for making me feel so keenly; the third star for surprising me with its plot twist; the fourth star for making me skip dinner because I couldn't put it down; and the final fifth star for making me laugh out loud while there were still tears on my face.<br/><br/>**also, started</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R383MCKBQKJXO7?ASIN=014242417X	Beautiful Writing, Sad Sad Story	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I would really give this 4.5 stars, but I am going to round up because I don't think I've ever encountered such beautiful and careful writing as that of John Green. Each word, sentence, paragraph, and chapter are so carefully constructed and so much thought has clearly gone in to every detail.<br/><br/>The characters are so believable and carry such raw human emotion, it's incredible that Green was able to take such a morose and unappealing (sorry) topic and turn it into a book that I would read not once, but again and again.<br/><br/>That being said, a book about two teens battling cancer while falling in love is a book I would NEVER read. I don't like sad stories, and the premise of this book reminded me of the Lurline McDaniels books that repulsed me as a teenager. Picking up this book, the reader is very aware that there is going to be death, pain, suffering, and sadness.<br/><br/>One of the most interesting relationships in the book, to me, was the relationship the narrator Hazel and her parents. ""There is only one thing in this world sh--tier than biting it from cancer when you're sixteen, and that's having a kid that bites it from cancer."" Hazel worries that she is a ""grenade"" that will ultimately destroy the lives of her parents. The scenes between Hazel and her father, or both of her parents, especially toward the end of the book, almost moved me to tears -- the relationships were so real and true to life.<br/><br/>I applaud John Green on tackling the topic of teenagers with cancer and turning this otherwise difficult topic into one of the most well-written books I've ever read. I'll definitely be reading more books by this author. Thanks for a great read!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R18L7BIOQRKCJ2?ASIN=014242417X	Life and death and the grey area in between	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault In Our Stars by John Green is not an inspirational novel for the dying, nor is it a depressing novel for the living. Hazel, a teenage girl living (or dying, as the case may be) with terminal cancer, walks through the grey area between vivacity and death, a sort of twilight that only those who are dying can experience. Even though suffering is constantly in the background, the characters rebel against what their bodies have dictated their lives to be like through use of their brilliant minds. And that brilliance the characters possess is the soul of the novel, the reason why it rises to such heights. Hazel and Augustus do not accept their fates blindly and wallow in sorrow; rather, they question everything and fight to make their existence mean something. Their approach to life is immensely interesting. John Green is a genius.<br/><br/>The Fault In Our Stars is to me what An Imperial Affliction is to Hazel. A book with such value that ""it fills you with this weird evangelical zeal, and you become convinced that the shattered world will never be put back together unless and until all living humans read the book.""</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1YSPY0YNVXK7P?ASIN=014242417X	A heartfelt journey	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I'm going to keep this rather short and simple as my back is killing me and I need to lay down, but having just finished the book, I am obligated towards recommending it. I'm not going to summarize the story as that's in the description, you're able to read the first chapter on Amazon for free, John promotes the book above, and, of course, the many readers here have already reviewed and laid it out for you. The progression of this book was so well-done, that I couldn't put it down. Heck, I took it with me to class to read this morning (bad, I know, but this professor is completely book-oriented and I'm just there for the attendance). I immediately took a liking to most of the characters introduced, appreciating their knowledge and backstory to their way of speaking or expressing themselves. With quite a few books I've come across, the author tends to ""show off"" his/her vocabulary, and they have every right to, they've earned their publication, their hard work, their knowledge on the language being quite impressive. But with that, it's difficult to imagine how...in reality, a boy of poverty struggling to get by to speak so adequately. If there is a believable way to explain such grammar, then I'm all ears, or in this case, all eyes. Greene accomplishes this, as we get a good sense of background and standing with the characters. I know this seems like a minor quirk with books being narrated as such, but nevertheless, I feel that I must point it out.<br/><br/>Anyway, the character development, particularly of the main character, Hazel, has truly touched me. Her struggle, her rather realistic views, her ways of coping with her complications, it's all so inspiring. And not the ""inspiring"" in a sense that, ""hey, this girl is strong and living and getting by, battling cancer and everything!"" but more-so in the sense that the book, or rather, Hazel's and a few other characters, see themselves and see the world, no, the universe, in such a substantial and unique way. Their paths, their lives, takes many turns, each with valuable lessons and growth. In short, I thoroughly enjoyed how ""real"" these characters felt.<br/><br/>This book has reminded me just how precious life is. You hear it all the time, ""you don't know what you have until you've lost it,"" ""here today, gone tomorrow,"" or ""I won't be around forever,"" things loved ones have said but weren't taken to heart as we neglect and deny the thoughts of them -really and truly- leaving us. But no, we can't stay in that cozy dark cave forever. We have to wake up and realize the truth behind these statements, and cherish our moments together even more than before. I believe our memories can keep us going upon losing that special someone, as well as the support of family and friends. On a more personal note relating to this realization, I'm currently facing quite a few complications in my life. Almost hitting the big 2-5, I've began getting rather sick late last year, beginning with rather simple but annoying migraines day-by-day, and now escalating into abdominal pains, nausea, dizziness, sensitivity to light, so on and so forth. It's the nausea and abdominal pains that really keep me leveled, it keeps me from activities and I hate that. Before the end of last year, I was able to get up, get set, and get out the house with ease. But now, now I feel like hell some mornings that I just don't have the motivation to go somewhere I'm invited to. But...if characters such as Hazel and Augustus and Isaac can make this effort, if they can keep going, and they've certainly had it worse than me, then I sure as hell will try to, too. It's worth going to that rather boring seminar with a relative, worth heading to a friend's small business opening, worth it all. As unsociable as I am, I now more than ever want to make the effort to at least show up and be there for others, spend that precious little time that we have. I don't prefer to be close with many, I like my small circle just the way it is, but it's as psychoanalyst Harry Stack Sullivan said, ""loneliness is the most painful human experience."" And damn it, it is.<br/><br/>In any case, I thank you for reading my attempted recommendation of this book. Please, you owe it to yourself to give it a read.<br/><br/>*Edit*<br/>Looks like it's getting a movie!</span>"

I have never done that before, then I read it for a third time.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R223ETJ5F4DRI2?ASIN=014242417X	Beautiful and Truthful	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">John Green is a favorite author of mine and yet I was reluctant to pick this one up, simply because of its subject matter. I am NOT a reader of cancer tales, and in particular cancer tales involving children. And yet this one kept calling to me; when my daughter read it and loved it, I knew it was time, assuring myself that with Green, cancer would be a backstory to the main one.<br/><br/>Warning:  It's a cancer book.<br/><br/>Other than that minor (not) detail, it's beautiful, full of truth about human relationships and life. Hazel is sixteen and has terminal cancer which has been held at bay for three years, but stealing her lungs' capacity to their work (""crap lungs"").  Forced by her parents to attend a support group, she meets the handsome, witty Augustus, who becomes infatuated with her almost immediately. And though Hazel wishes to minimize the destruction of her impending, someday death by not becoming a ""grenade"", she finds herself falling in love with the dashing Gus, himself a survivor of bone cancer. Together, the two use his Wish to track down the author of their favorite novel, demanding answers to its unanswered questions (A Metaphor For Life? Certainly). Along the way, medical crises ensue and lessons about the fragility of life abound. And Green does all this with his usual funny, endearing, charming flair, making us sob buckets and forcing his characters into our hearts whether we want them there or not.<br/><br/>While I adored the characters, I did feel the necessity of involving cancer in their lives was manipulative and unnecessary, though very realistic. Green did his research; he knew  the ins and outs of how medical teams work and what can go wrong. It's a story worth reading and definitely one that involves the reader fully. I do wish Green would move on from the road trip drama, but he's still one of  the best young adult writers out there today, my personal feelings about cancer story lines aside. He can make you laugh and cry and realize things you already knew. Beautifully written and recommended.</span>"

4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2WUWW3HKETGHH?ASIN=014242417X	Please forgive this review	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Yes, I was stunned at how fluent John Green is with what it's like to be dying, in particular, from cancer.  He is on-the-money about it, and Yes, this is a brave, bold book, with amazing writing--truly amazing.  But wait, everyone--there are major problems with the book and I'm getting the idea John Green might be too big and the idea that his boundary-breaking (using sick kids as main characters) is too sensitive a topic for critics to find any fault in these stars. I get it if that's true, but let's really look at the book. First why is Gus so immediately and so intensely attracted to Hazel?  I kept waiting for there to be some kind of edge attached to it.  Sure, she looks like his ex-girlfriend, but he simply falls too hard, too fast.  Okay, I overlooked this because I loved Hazel and wanted  her to have some happiness and I loved Gus. I was even happy with Green's understanding of girl-ness in Hazel. And I liked the dialogue, even though at some point all of the characters seemed to talk the same way and I stopped being able to tell them apart. I still loved Hazel and Gus and Isaac.  I love reading John Green because he's so smart and funny.  But his editors were too easy on him, and I think the critics of this book are, too.  The Imperial Affliction parts and all of the scenes with Peter Van Houten are plot devices that don't quite work. In fact, the last time Houten shows up in the book, I thought maybe Hazel was imagining it--like it was some kind of dark humor.  (But it wasn't. It was just ridiculous.) Here's another example:  two dying kids having their first kiss in Anne Frank's house?  When the crowd applauds it's almost as if John Green is clapping because he thought up something so symbolic and ironic. These two have just been through a major disappointment--so they go sightseeing? With the housekeeper? To Anne Frank's house? And even though mobility and fatigue are major problems in their getting around the house, they still can't fight off the need to kiss? I was troubled by this book because I came to love Hazel's affection for Gus and the other story elements got in the way of that.  The characters are well drawn, compelling people, but the plot around them is a let down. Theirs is an important story--one I don't ever want to forget--about how afraid they are that no one will remember them. But John Green, with his talent and imagination, could have done better by them.  They deserved it.</span>"

If you have never read one of his books, this book is still for you. He writes about such a serious topic with humor and truth. Please don't say ""I'm not going to read this because it will make me cry."" Yes it will make you cry tears of sadness, but it will also make you cry tears of happiness. Isn't the testament of a good book that it pulls you in and makes you feel the emotions of the characters? If you are looking for a great read, then look no further than John Green's The Fault in Our Stars.</span>"

2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/ROUQOBVTEO3HM?ASIN=014242417X	Made of Awesome	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">John Green, as well as being an amazing author, is also vlogger on youtube who inspires and educates hundreds of thousands of people called nerdfighters (we don't fight nerds, we are nerds who fight). Some of these people are in a hit band called Bloom, and they wrote a song that is in itself a better review than I think most people could give. This is the link to that song.[...]</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2GX0UF7X3V34P?ASIN=014242417X	Great book!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is a great book! It is well written, and although it is sad it is ultimately very inspiring and thought provoking.  There are also a lot of interesting literary aspects that make it fun to read, and there are many humerous moments as well.  Also, it isn't just for teens, adults can read it and enjoy it too.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2Y28PB17S7C1I?ASIN=014242417X	Wow! Just wow!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read this book when it was recently assigned to our book club, knowing only that it was a young adult novel and that the recommendation came from the sixteen year-old son of one of the book club members.  Based upon that limited knowledge, I started reading it with the expectation that it would be light, superficial, and predictable.  I was wrong on all counts.<br/><br/>The Fault in our Stars is a beautifully written book that offers a frank view of the lives of teenagers with cancer.  Despite the heavy topic, the book contained a realistic balance of humor and brutal honesty.  As my sixteen year-old recommender stated, it has about a 1:1 laugh to tear ratio.<br/><br/>The book left me wanting more (which is the best thing that can be said about any book) so I did a little post-book research and was not surprised to learn that the author had a real relationship with a sixteen year-old girl with cancer, no doubt the inspiration for this exceptional book.<br/><br/>I don't want to give away too much so quit reading this review . . . and start reading this book yourself.  You won't regret it.  No matter your age, you're not too mature for this young adult book.  In fact, you will likely feel humbled by it.<br/><br/>I know I did.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RPLWDVOA35O80?ASIN=014242417X	Beautifully Honest	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read this book just a few days ago and loved every minute of it. When I tell people that I cried (a lot) they automatically decide that they don't want to read it. But it's because they don't understand why I cried. This book is perfect. And complete. And once you come to terms with the lives of the characters in The Fault in Our Stars, it's hard not to become emotionally involved. Hazel is a bright young woman whose inner dialogue makes Bella Swan look like a fifth grade drop out.<br/><br/>This book has made me think about death in a way that I never have before, and I can't wait to share it with friends. Don't be afraid of the sadness found in the book. To quote Doctor Who, ""Every life is a pile of good things and bad things... The good things don't always soften the bad things, but vice versa, the bad things don't necessarily spoil the good things, and make them unimportant.""</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2K0DUSUTCOQYT?ASIN=014242417X	Good writing, weaker plot	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">John Green captures the viewpoint of a teenager very well and really connects to Hazel's internal world; however, I felt the plot was very...strange.  Almost like there were two stories happening at once that just happen to tie together...the story of Hazel and Augustus battling cancer, and then the story of Hazel and Augustus' fascination with Peter van Houten and their trip to Amsterdam.  I thought the plot was way too fast-paced, with all the main events slamming you in the face immediately.  There is no build-up to the relationship and very little conflict with regards to the trip (the only conflict is the internal battle with oneself).  Also, I went to Amsterdam once for two days and the vacation is written as if John Green had done the same thing and just written about every little thing he saw instead of exploring the city with greater depth.  In the acknowledgements he says he spent two months there, though.<br/><br/> So in the end, I found it awkward, and I would have liked to see more character development.  I couldn't feel for the characters because I felt everything unfolded too quickly and there wasn't a lot of opportunity of empathy.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1U1IKJTH6I1AL?ASIN=014242417X	Emotional, intelligent, and heartbreaking	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I don't know what more I can add to the fabulous 5 star reviews here, but I will try.  I was a bit put off thinking this was a ""Young Adult"" novel.  I was not at all interested in the Twilight or Hunger Games series, both of which earned enormous critical acclaim.  I was reluctant to purchase this thinking it would be another novel which was widely adored-but not for me.  I was so wrong.  While the characters, Hazel and Augustus are teens, they are far more mature than their years, in part due to their long term illnesses.  The discourse in this book is sublime.  The author really had me repeating lines in my head and writing them down in a journal because they were so meaningful.  It is really difficult to write a novel about suffering and death without being maudlin, over the top, or flat out depressing.  Somehow, John Green accomplishes the impossible by making this novel more about love, laughter, family, friends rather than the pain that each person in the novel experiences.  This is a truly remarkable feat....and a book which should be cherished for a long, long time.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3FWIAG9KP9G1Z?ASIN=014242417X	I laughed, I cried, I loved	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Before reading John Green's excellent novel, The Fault in our Stars, I had never read any of his other books. I had seen a number of his brother's and his videos, but this was the first book of John's that I have read. Without knowing if I would even like it, I decided to purchase this novel, and boy am I glad that I did.<br/><br/>This book has great characters who feel real and are portrayed brilliantly. You quickly begin to fall in love with Hazel and Augustus.<br/><br/>I really recommend this book... Do not let the fact that it's listed as children's fiction turn you off to it. This is not a book for children, but is for teenagers and adults. I am sixteen, and I loved it.<br/><br/>After reading this, I definitely am going to read his other novels after reading this masterful story.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RYLVSZML7VTMW?ASIN=014242417X	Easily, the best book I've read in years	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I'll put this book in my top five all time books and it's at the top for the past year. John Green tackles the most serious of life's subjects with a humor, poignancy and depth that are of the highest quality literature. Yet it's so down to earth and easy to read, the zingers will sideswipe you with an unexpected potency. I laughed and cried while reading it then dwelled on the many deeper messages and symbolism after I put it down. A great work for all ages.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RCAHJ8J643QPI?ASIN=014242417X	A Must-Read!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars is everything I wanted in John Green's new book and more. Whether you're a die hard nerdfighter (the name given to Green's fans), or just looking for a great new book to read, this is a fantastic choice. I was alternately laughing and crying throughout the novel; it made me feel at times warm, at times uncomfortable, and always drawn into the truth of the situation. Green's uncomplicated prose moves the reader swiftly through the work, only then to be stopped dead by the simple beauty of a truth nestled seamlessly into the story. (A few times I was staggered enough to put the book down and consider the logistics of inscribing some particularly beautiful statement onto a plaque, poster, or perhaps even tattooing it upon myself.) In short, The Fault in Our Stars is heartbreaking, beautiful, funny, and John Green at his best.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R61RPXSD90FZC?ASIN=014242417X	One of the best books I've ever read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I'm not a crier, but TFIOS really had me going in a few places; those extremely sad parts were balanced, however, with plenty of hilarious scenes that kept me laughing. It's the kind of book that you want to read in one chunk, if at all possible.<br/><br/>For me, it was one of those rare books that, when I was finished reading it, made me feel like it would be grossly inappropriate to go on with my daily life without first taking a few minutes or more to think about the story, both the parts that are told and those that are not.<br/><br/>(For those curious or keeping track, my preordered copy was signed in green and there was no Hanklerfish or Yeti.)</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2LHDOEG011R6O?ASIN=014242417X	Unexpected	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">(Spoiler free!)<br/>As a nerdfighter, I was pretty much set to buy any book John Green writes. I wasn't expecting anything extraordinary, just a good book to read in bed. And the very little I'd heard of the storyline promised tears, which I did not want at all. I could not have been more wrong. This book is just as funny as it is heartbreaking, just as silly as it is genius. I've never been more surprised by a book in my life. I'm 23 years old, and I honestly thought I was getting too old for YA. I started craving books with more substance, with protagonists my age or older, feeling I could no longer relate to teens and their teen drama. I can't tell you how foolish that was! This is not a teen story, this is a HUMAN story. With equal weight and value given to every single character- from the adults, to the amazingly vivid 16 year old girl who narrates the story.<br/><br/>I can't recommend this book enough. You have so very much to gain.<br/>Thanks for reading!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2ICC30WG8GG5K?ASIN=014242417X	Very insightful but sad	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I was not aware that this book was for young adults when I purchased it. As I began reading it, it became clear that it was targeted to young adults although I still found the characters intriguing.  I have two grown children of my own, so I found this book difficult to read a times.  I would have to put it down and give myself some time before going back to it.  It's not that I didn't want to read it but it was emotionally overwhelming.  Reading about young adults struggling with facing their imminent death is not easy to read about. However, their thoughts reflect what all of us have in facing our own mortality.  Kids are just so open and frank with what their feelings are and express them candidly.  The extreme fascination that Hazel Grace has  with the book she is obsessed with seemed like a metaphor for so many questions that she felt about herself.  Would she just end with nothing else - just empty pages?  Who doesn't want their lives to matter beyond their time here.These kids had less time to make their stamp in the world but still so wanted to know their short existence mattered and made a difference.  I almost felt like the author of Hazel's book was a metaphor for God, who didn't ultimately seem to care how important the answers were for Grace. Did that mean that God doesn't care about the pain that is inflicted on these kids but just inflicts without compassion? This is a thoughtful, sad book but we still somehow route for these kids and know that they do matter and we end up loving them ourselves.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3EPZ1CWU3UC4B?ASIN=014242417X	Excuse my tears . . .	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I went into this book having no idea what it was about. All I knew was, John Green had come out with a new book and that was enough for me. So, I'm going to give all of you the same option I had to just be completely surprised and blown away. All I will say is that this was both the funniest and saddest book I have ever read. I laughed out loud, I cried real tears . . . sometimes at the same time. This is a brilliant book. John Green, you are my hero!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1L23MDPBF6V9P?ASIN=014242417X	Brilliantly not sappy	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I am a huge John Green fan, but must say I was a bit worried when the topic of The Fault in Our Stars was revealed.  After all, how was a book about two teens dying from cancer not going to be terrifically sad?  How was it not going to contain countless platitudes about living life to the fullest that would ultimately ring hollow?  And if it didn't contain such useless encouragements, wouldn't it seem crass and harsh?  I needn't have worried.  While the book did include many traditionally trite phrases, Hazel and Augustus give said statements their just irreverence, yet seem to understand the need for some of their friends and family to have the words said.  Hazel and Augustus appreciate the cliche of their short, unfortunate love story.  I  think the highest compliment I can pay this novel is that I didn't weep uncontrollably at its sadness. Knowing the gist of the plot in advance gave me a chance to read beyond the the storyline and appreciate the crisp, poetic language.  There are so many beautiful phrases, but I'll end my review with my favorite: ""You don't get to choose if you get hurt in this world, old man, but you do have some say in who hurts you.  I like my choices.  I hope she likes hers.""</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RPV7IAWVN26N1?ASIN=014242417X	My new favorite John Green book. And possible a new complete favorite!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Let me begin by saying I had very high expectations for this book. John Green is one of my favorite authors and his book Looking for Alaska is one of the best I've ever read. I've waited for TFioS for what seems like forever and I tried not to let myself get my hopes up. But the book completely surpassed every hope and expectation that I had. Bravo, John Green. This is a must read for everyone, regardless of your age or genre preference.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3OXEGV0PYZX3?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Absolutely amazing book. If you haven't read this book yet, you are seriously missing out!! Then, after you read this book, go read the rest of John Green's books.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R319KBYU3FO1R2?ASIN=014242417X	Amazing, breathtaking.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This changed my life, it was amazing, funny, sad, charming, witty, and pure genius. I will recommend any and all of your books to everyone I know, John. They've helped me develop and grow a better person, it opened up Nerdfighteria which has made me feel special. DFTBA.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1AOH14IZSKOMH?ASIN=014242417X	Heart-renderingly Beautiful	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">""The Fault in Our Stars"" maybe John Green's best book yet. He fill the pages with poignant characters and creates a gripping plot with as many laughs as tears. The protagonist Hazel is so well fleshed out that I sometimes wonder if he actually shadowed a teenage girl to get it so right. His other characters like Augustus and Isaac are a revelation. Green is at his best when he is painting the picture. He punctuates it with humour and wit, doing it with an ease that is breathtaking. The plot takes you to emotional highs and lows and makes you feel emotion like only the great books can.<br/><br/>The book does however has its shortcoming (but not enough to knock of any stars off this review). Dialogue. While it is not apparent in this book as much as in his others, There are moments in the book that make me say ""Huh?"". For example, all the teenage boys and girls I have been around, no matter how smart, cannot perhaps even conceive the brand of wit and philosophical thought Hazel and Augustus can. It seems almost incredulous to me that a a 16 year old and a 17 year old discuss metaphors and existentialism with such abandon and so often in their life. My friends could barely get past their Facebook page/social life.<br/><br/>That being said, I do think it is perhaps his best book and people should read a book that makes even a cynic believe there might bee something called true love.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RNBA6QYOZ1HLZ?ASIN=014242417X	Waste of time	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I am sure all of the pre-teen girls reading this will hate me but honestly this book is not great. I think it is offensive to actual cancer patients and it is written like a 12 year old girl who has never kissed a boy. I don't think this is a good read at all and I am upset that I wasted money on this. What a terrible read about boring characters.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R16QAVWVW9HAMC?ASIN=014242417X	Literary, engaging, celebration of friendship, love, and family	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book contains all the elements that I find integral to a great read.  It has good prose, consistent, meaningful, and engaging dialogue, romance, friendship, discovery of what was lost, and family.  Sometimes I think I have read all the good books left, and then I pick up on like ""The Fault in Our Stars, "" and am happy to know otherwise. LOKIB</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R29MJXRADSVYTJ?ASIN=014242417X	Perfection	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">John Green's The Fault in Our Stars is 313 pages of perfection. I started it one night and did not stop. I would look at my clock, tell myself to go to sleep and then turn the page. Even though I cried as I read the last 100 pages, I already have read the book again. It's heartbreaking and beautiful and one of those books that speaks to your soul.</span>"

They all now have their own copy b/c they loved what I had been reading to them so much. They, like I, are hanging on Hazel's every word. Thank you for a book that's getting teens who don't already love to read, loving this book.</span>"

It can be a bit pretentious and repetitive. It is like reading a soap opera where teenagers think like 55 year olds. With all that said, it is short and reads fast, you can nap/read and even skip parts and you will still get it, so it makes a good read when you are on vacations or just don’t feel like reading a challenging book.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R11QQBTNZDJYUW?ASIN=014242417X	Fabulous story!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Initially the premise if this story seems like it would be depressing but it's really not. I think this is due to how well John green develops his characters. I felt as if I knew them personally and had a hard time forgetting them once I finished the book. John greeb's writing is so spectacular that I've continued to read additional work of his.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R309NV6H04TU9T?ASIN=014242417X	Must read!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I absolutely love John Green and just about everything he writes. This book is no exception. I wanted to not rush through and really savor the story, but I plowed through it far too quickly. These characters, their seemingly hopeless situation and their love story is not one that will leave you quickly. I couldn't possibly recommend a book more.</span>"

2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RVXZ5KXO2DL6T?ASIN=014242417X	An Amazing Book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">-SPOILER FREE-<br/><br/>If you buy this book, you will not regret it - it had me hooked right from the first paragraph, and did not let up, not even once it ended. It made me laugh out loud, it made me cry freely, and the completely unexpected ending left me breathless. I would recommend this to anyone over the age of 13 who loves to read.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R33V0S86H6JC9F?ASIN=014242417X	Heartwarming and Heartbreaking!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I love stories that make me laugh and then make me cry. This book is so sharply witty, LOL funny and achingly sad...I loved every bit of it! The 2 teenagers (Hazel Grace and Augustus) in this story belong in the same category as Juno (from the movie ""Juno""), smart,  precocious, and so funny. I will definitely read more of John Green's work!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R33U7IPK6XMPWN?ASIN=014242417X	Flawless.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">After a year of not going near a John Green book, I find myself reading this wishing I had read it earlier. I didn't think any of his books could beat Looking for Alaska and Paper Towns but it has. Its just wonderful and it wasn't what I expected and that's what made it so great. You're missing out if you don't read this book. Its flawless</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1683FOR8VPJ9N?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault, Dear Reader, is Not In the Metaphors (nor in anything else)	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I first picked up this book the day it came out, not knowing anything about the plot, but knowing that John Green was supposed to be a pretty awesome guy and I would regret not getting it immediately.<br/>I opened the book as soon as it was in my hands, and realised it was about cancer. I hadn't read any ""cancer books"" but I knew of their heart-wrenching, slightly overdone reputation, and was wary of continuing my reading, but I had just spent 18 dollars on a signed copy, so I didn't have a choice.<br/>I couldn't set it down until page 214, which just the mere thought of brings tears to my eyes. I won't tell you why, you'll have to read it to find out. I am a fairly fast reader, finishing the book within six hours of buying it, and from forty minutes before the final page to an hour after finishing it, I sobbed so hard that my parents were worried for my health.<br/>To those of you saying that Augustus and Hazel were contrived, metaphorical, unrealistic: I agree with you. They were unrealistic. But that is the beauty of books - they take us into a different world, where human beings can talk about ""Existentially fraught free throws,"" the ghettoization of scrambled eggs, and the faults in our stars.<br/>It has been, what, four months? since this book was released, and I have read it five times. Each time I have cried and each time I have willed the world to have humans as excellent as Hazel and Gus. The first book I recommend to people when asked, no matter what age, is The Fault in Our Stars, followed by the rest of John Green's work.<br/>This book is made of metaphors, many of his books are made of metaphors, but what you must remember is that this book is a work of fiction, as stated by the disclaimer at the beginning. Fiction can be anything you want, metaphor-obsessed teenagers, eloquent cancer victims, and true love that isn't creepy.<br/>I highly suggest you read this book, it has changed my view of literature in this year, it was the last thing I read as a thirteen year old four days ago, and it will stay with me for a long time. Please read it, and DFTBA</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1IC09ZGL8BPBU?ASIN=014242417X	Green's writing elevates this from melodrama to classic	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I was reluctant to read this book despite its glowing reviews everywhere. I just didn't think I could deal with the subject matter of teens dying of cancer. However, if you think this, you are missing out on one of the most beautiful, touching stories about hope and the human spirit I have read. It really is hard to find the right words to praise this book.<br/><br/>First, let's talk about characters. The two main characters, Gus and Hazel, are two of the most memorable I have ever read. Yes they may be a touch too clever, but they have spirits. Gus maybe does seem too good to be true but I can forgive it. His search for metaphor in life is unique and his joie de vivre is inspiring. Hazel accepts her fate in life but doesn't let it get her down. Even the secondary characters are all intelligent, funny and real. You know these people.<br/><br/>I won't spoil the big surprise in the book, but you will think you know what the end will bring but you don't. That twist is heart-breaking and the reason you will shed many a tear. I like that we don't have a final ending for all the characters, but there is no need for a sequel.<br/><br/>This book could have been horribly melodramatic but Green's writing elevates the book to the level of literary classic I believe. I hope one non-explicit sex scene doesn't make it highly banned in high schools but I fear it will. There would be so much to be discussed and mined in high school or college courses.<br/><br/>I read this book in about 4 hours because I just had to know what happened, but now I will go back and read it slowly to get all the nuances and enjoy the brilliant writing. This book put me on a John Green orgy and I can only saw the man is brilliant. I can't wait to read any book he publishes in the future.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3JHD2BPY5TI9K?ASIN=014242417X	Loved it (tissues not optional)	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I've been avoiding writing this review because I just don't think my tear ducts can handle it. But I need to do it because this is honestly one of the best books I have ever read. This is the first book by John Green that I have read, and I enjoyed his style immensely. His writing is witty and elevated, which only furthers the point that the main character is smart beyond her years. Hazel has cancer, but I could tell she is an old soul, forced to deal with circumstances that no teenager should. There are some main characters that I just can't stand in books because their wit turns into snark which turns into an annoying attempt at portraying teen angst. John Green drove the line between funny and obnoxious with perfection. There wasn't any point in the novel where I felt Hazel was a brat or annoying to listen to. In fact, all I wanted to do was hear her thoughts and keep reading to uncover her heartbreaking story.<br/><br/>Now on to the boy...Augustus Waters. At first I wasn't sure about him. Is he an arrogant jerk or is he that know it all guy you kind of love to hate? I quickly realized neither were true. I didn't ever want to hate him. Yes, he may be overly confident, but his heart is too large for him to be a jerk. He's the guy that was meant for Hazel and in their relationship you find a perfect story.<br/><br/>For me it's easier to write bad reviews than good ones. Because I just don't have much to say besides this book is amazing and you should read it immediately. My absolute favorite part of the book was when you realize why it's called The Fault in Our Stars. I won't give it away because its something you should read in the book.<br/><br/>And lastly, tissues are required for this. My face was a puddle of mascara when I was reading. The last hundred pages were the worst and I had a steady stream going for the entirety of them. But it was worth it.<br/><br/>I recommend this book for anyone who can read...seriously.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R35NZFI5D73DKW?ASIN=014242417X	Yes, It Actually is That Good	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I was in love with this book when I preordered it. I was in love with this book when my preorder was messed up and I had to wait an extra week. I was so in love with this book that I bought a copy at Target, read it, got my preorder in, and read it again. I even went as far to go to every Target/Safeway/Walmart/Barnes &amp; Noble in my vicinity and set stacks of TFiOS under Employee Recommend shelves and end caps. I did this because I believe TFiOS is a book that, um, yeah, EVERYONE should read.<br/><br/>Yes, it's a ""teen"" book, but no, that does not mean that only those between the ages of 13-19 will enjoy it. My mother read this book and she appreciated it. I've persuaded teachers into reading this book and they've appreciated it. If you are a human being able to appreciate any type of book, you should read this one.<br/><br/>One of the biggest criticisms I've seen for TFiOS is that the dialogue and characters in the book are unrealistic. To those I say: pah. As a sixteen-year-old girl, I can relate to these conversations. A lot of young adult fiction includes simplistic, demeaning dialogue that in no way represents the way teenagers communicate. We have personalities and think strange things and make funny jokes and have wit. If you don't believe this, then you aren't hanging around the right type of teenagers.<br/><br/>Also, the deep thinking of the book is said to be questionable of a teenager, even one that is dying. Um. Okay. Dude. Again, let me say reiterate: we have brains. We use them. While contemplating the meaning of life and the finite quality of our existence, etc., etc., may not be as ""teenager-y"" as compulsively posting meaningless statues on Facebook or walking loops around the mall, we still do it.<br/><br/>TFiOS is realistic. It's heartbreaking. It's hilarious. It will stick with you. And if you don't believe me - read it for YOURSELF.</span>"

This book was pure bliss, laced with hardship and misfortune. And not in a tacky or humorous book. I've fallen in love with Augustus and Hazel. John Green, I'll be looking forward to read more books of yours. Definitely deserves more than 5 stars - countless infinites.</span>"

Real and one of the best	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I bought this book because I had seen a few of my friends reading it. I had no idea that it would be as good as it was. It was very real about life and very sad but not overly sad. I cried when it ended. The book is really powerful and one of the best. I have never felt compelled to write a review before, but I do with this book.</span>"

I laughed and I cried, well more like sobbed uncontrollably. This book was phenomenal. I loved Augustus, Isaac, and Hazel. Their humor kept me laughing and Hazel and Augustus love story was beautiful. Wow! (So amazing, I can barely string together coherent thoughts after finishing it.)</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R269JHLXHW7JPF?ASIN=014242417X	Shed some tears, laughed out loud	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Hazel Lancaster is proclaimed a miracle patient, having undergone a medical procedure that shrunk her tumor and prolonged her life. Three years after the surgery, Hazel begrudgingly attends a Cancer Support Group with other teenagers who know every waking moment may be their last. It's enough to bring anybody down and Hazel despises going. One day, however, she spots a new face in the crowd. Augustus Walters. He's witty, interesting, and just plain weird. They strike a simple friendship that soon grows stronger as they bond over books, video games, and the trip of a lifetime. Despite the constant scrutiny of those around them, Hazel and Gus determine to live a life that is not defined by their illnesses.<br/><br/>I was hesitant to start this book at first- not sure if I had it in me to spend a rainy day reading about terminally ill cancer kids. However, I was hooked from the first page. This was my first John Green book and I absolutely loved every word. He has a way of bringing characters to life and making their world real. That's not to say that I know any teenagers who actually talk and act like Hazel and Gus, but I don't think that's the point. While other reviewers saw this is a negative aspect of the book, I think one of the purposes of good literature is to challenge your assumptions and show you a part of humanity you might not have understood before. As a teenager, I probably wouldn't have been friends with Hazel or Gus, but I can still become emotionally tied to them as a reader looking in on their world.<br/><br/>I found this book extremely moving and well-written. It's a quick read that is great for both teenagers and adults. Highly recommended!</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RBEM4BNP312FI?ASIN=014242417X	One of the best books I have ever read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">John Green is definitely one of my favorite authors. When I saw that this book came out I was so excited to read it. I honestly couldn't put this book down I would stay up until 2:30 in the morning reading this. It is a little sad, but very uplifting in the same way. If you are a fan of John Green I recommend you read this one!</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R36CRNEL4Q7RSW?ASIN=014242417X	John Green & his uniqueness	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">It was sad, very sad. Tear-worthy sad, honest, and realistic in its own sense. It might make you feel depressed about life and you would very much appreciate the existence of the Make A Wish foundation.<br/><br/>The way these two unique individuals talk is so not very common and it might confuse some, as it surely did to me, although you get their general gist. I think. I don't know. I just know that it was very sad for them to go through what they did and think just how unfair life really is. We get the perfect lives that we are in now and complain about everything, and these two are just brilliant and amazing and they know how to see all the pain in the world, and they still go on. We, as humans, are just so strong - if you can see how these people in the story cope with everything that hits them. The strength is endearing.<br/><br/>While I am only giving it 3 stars (to indicate that I liked it), the overall depressive mood it put me in really sucks. It's reality, but still, it just depresses me. I did cry at the part that everybody would be crying at, and I appreciate the honesty and everything that encompasses it. I especially appreciate how the two protagonists think and just their entire unique way of communicating. That sort of dialogue is not something you would experience in real life. At this point, I don't think I'm making sense to myself anymore. And I did feel like that throughout the book, but it wasn't important enough to linger over.<br/><br/>That is all.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3OOFD9MQ7W4HV?ASIN=014242417X	I want EVERYONE to read this book!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The only problem I have with this book is that it is marketed as a 'YA' book, which I think does it a great disservice.  I am a 57 year old, Ph.D. educated male - I say this NOT to impress, but to simply indicate I am NOT anywhere near the demographic this book is being marketed to - and yet I would say it is perhaps in the top ten of my favorite books of all time.  When I think YA, I inevitably think of 'Twilight' and other non-literature of that ilk (I am sorry if that offends anyone - I honestly tried to read 'Twilight' but could only stomach 3 pages).  This is YA in the sense that 'To Kill a Mockingbird' is YA - and yes, it IS that good. After reading this, I insisted my 89 year old mother read it and she loved it as well. I am not ahamed to say that I cried for several minutes after reading the final page - and if you can make it through without doing the same, I pity you.  Some people claim this book is depressing, but I found it uplifting and not at all downbeat - in fact I also laughed out loud many times reading it.  This is my first John Green book, but I am eagerly looking forward to reading his entire back catalog. So no matter your age or other defining characteristics, just do yourself a favor and pick up this book immediately - you won't be sorry.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2G05OH2A3DL1G?ASIN=014242417X	This Young Adult Novel Is Remarkable Beyond its Years	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">While I have a soon to be 13 year old, I'm not a reader of Young Adult fiction but saw this on the Amazon best books of January 2012 and it sounded like a worthile read.  Wow.  Wow.  This is about as good as any fiction gets and categorizing it as Young Adult, presumably because of the age of the characters, vastly undersells the power, emotion and quality of this amazing novel.  The story is about teenage cancer victims Hazel and Augustus, their struggle with the insidiousness of cancer, their mortality and their love of each other.<br/><br/>This book will make you laugh and cry, will make you think about friends and family who've had cancer or other terminal diseases, will cause you to feel blessed for your own healthy children and cause you to think about your own mortality.  ""The Fault in our Stars"" connects at a visceral level through amazingly real characters and a simple love story.  John Green has written a remarkable story that deserves to be read by as broad an audience as possible.  This definitely makes the list of top 10 books I have read over the last 10 years.  Please read this book, it is that special.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R33DGR0DUBOYBG?ASIN=014242417X	He should write for television--he has great dialogue for the Shonda Rimes' programs	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">If you enjoy funny people with witty retorts, gallows quips, and passages of Profound dialogues about the Meaning of Life, then this book is for you.  To be honest, it was an enjoyable read the way a television sitcom can be an enjoyable laugh-your-cares-away kind of thing.  Whilst reading this, I thought to myself, ""Hm--Shonda Rimes might want to hire this John Green and add him to her production writers group.""  Every character was (maybe not the moms...hm...) articulate and witty and profound.  That, to me, equals author-is-louder-than-story because the characters are merely mediums for his ""I-am-so-funny-I-kill-myself"" writing.  And yes, I am jealous that he is so funny and clever.  And yes, I did enjoy such cleverness however it was John Green's voice saying these funny things and because I couldn't get the guy out of the picture in my head, it kept the read from being anywhere close to that ""third dimension"" or what-have-you.  So truly, I should give it two stars but I inadvertently gave it five stars on my mobile device so I want to try to balance that out somewhat.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R7JRSZFR03ZBQ?ASIN=014242417X	cry or feel mass amounts of happiness and anger all in one	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">If you've never read a book that’s made you laugh, cry or feel mass amounts of happiness and anger all in one, then The Fault In Our Stars is the PERFECT book for you to read. From start to finish, John Green pulls every emotion out of you with the love of Hazel and Augustus Waters. From the beginning we’re introduced to Hazel and we learn that she has cancer. When she attends a support group she meets Augustus and her whole life changes. Page after page, the words flow endlessly with the beauty of their love. It’s enviable to not fall in love with each of the characters yourself as you read. I’ve read this book a total of 15 times since it came out in January of 2012. The most recent time that I read this book was when I was feeling as if my life wasn't working out and just really wasn't coming together the way I wanted it to. I always turn to reading when things get hard and the book that I've found the most comforting was The Fault In Our Stars. My life at the time seemed to be falling apart and being able to completely loose myself in the book was so overwhelmingly peaceful. The plot and all the characters and emotions that John Green used filled me with the thought that reality isn't always what fixes things. Sometimes it’s getting lost in a good book. Given that I've read this book so many times, it’s made a lasting impact on my life. I can remember the first time I read it and how many times I laughed out loud or balled my face off at two in the morning. I couldn't put it down. I lost so much sleep just trying to loose myself more into the book. After I finished it I couldn't believe what I’d read and how gorgeous it was to read every single word of the 336 pages that my favorite story entailed. I would very highly suggest ANYONE to read this book. It’s phenomenal from beginning to end and really ropes you in to falling in love with not only the characters and John Green, but the love for reading.<br/><br/>-Rainah G.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RTA5XB9ETSQHE?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in The Minds of Humanity About The Fault in Our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Now, I read this in three days. I just ate it up. My first John Green book. My favorite book. For a while. It isn't anymore. And then, all of a sudden, people start to read it. There is a bang heard across the world as millions of people pick up The Fault in Our Stars. The popularity of such a book pains an inner geek that is also an outer one. I have something to say.<br/><br/>Don't get me wrong. I almost like this book. But I don't love it. And you might not either,<br/><br/>The popularity of this book bothers me because all at once, everyone loved it. I'm not saying you don't, but hear me out.<br/><br/>The Fault in Our Stars has so much popularity that people just automatically think it is good. I'm not saying that it's bad or that people are just faking their love for it. I'm not. I feel like everyone loves it so much that everyone reads it and pictures it to be this perfect, great, amazing thing they understand perfectly. I believe that this book is loved so much by so many that no one except a few can see the truth about it. You don't love it. You can't tell me why it's so great, can you? You can't tell me.<br/><br/>I can tell you why. Because everyone thinks so. I don't think that followers are the case. I think that everyone is too blinded by the love for this book that exists to see what they truly think. I think that loving this book is branded as a cultural norm that no one can see. I believe that unless you truly think that this book isn't your favorite in the world, only then you can like it, because people need to except how it isn't perfect. I love John Green. Hardcore Nerdfighter all the way. But Paper Towns, with its true story and characters, and An Abundance of Katherines, with it's stubborn protagonist and plot lines and depth, are both much better.<br/><br/>I also dislike this book because there are no characters. In this book, they say they fear cancer books. THIS IS A CANCER BOOK. If you take away the cancer, there are no characters. I don't care if you talk about AIA or how they were in love. AIA IS A BOOK HAZEL NEVER WOULD'VE LIKED IF SHE DIDN'T HAVE CANCER. THEY MET AND BONDED BECAUSE OF CANCER.<br/><br/>Tell me one thing left about the depths of these characters. They have cancer... and?<br/><br/>I hope this opens your eyes a bit. Thanks for reading.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1MM9F1CJFJB47?ASIN=014242417X	Feels false	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I'll preface this by saying I feel like a jerk giving this two stars. I expected to like it. I often like books that are super popular and then experience a round of trashing from the haters. (Most notably, I liked The Hunger Games despite the buzz and subsequent smackdown.) But . . . here we are. Two stars.<br/><br/>It wasn't poorly written or anything, though you'll see soon why I disliked it. As a story, and mostly as executed, it might have been three stars. But the reason I decided on two stars instead of three is that I personally did not enjoy the book due to the overwhelming fakeness I felt around the characters. (Your mileage may vary.)<br/><br/>No one was believable to me--mostly a voice issue, but sometimes even the plot felt hollow--and that interfered mightily with my experience reading it. I didn't love anyone. I didn't feel authenticity from anyone. I feel like if I were these kids' age and I went to school with them or socialized with them, I'd be wondering the whole time when they were going to take their costumes off or stop reading lines, and when I found out they weren't going to stop, I'd just kinda quietly leave the group and hang out with people I didn't feel were pretending to be someone else.<br/><br/>But let's start with the good about the book. I did really appreciate that cancer was not at all romanticized (though the book almost became self-congratulatory about its own failure to ""inspirationalize"" the characters--the narration literally pointed out its own grittiness, like look, look what I did, did you see when the character puked and wet the bed, look how REAL this is).<br/><br/>Green also did a good job showing how illness affects different people in the characters' lives: the platitudes people post on social media for people who are having catastrophic surgery or dying from a disease; the way parents' and friends' and romantic partners' identity is transformed by the illness of their loved ones; the way people with cancer themselves may feel guilty about causing pain and pull away from those who love them in hopes of minimizing the damage. That was all presented well and mostly properly nuanced. An especially good scene included a character sharing his pain over a girlfriend dumping him, expressing that being together for fourteen months before a sudden breakup was devastating, and an insensitive nurse made light of it by saying fourteen months was nothing and he'd bounce back. People telling you your life doesn't really suck very much because they have a different perspective is a lovely little invalidating thing people do to young people all the time and I appreciated the realism.<br/><br/>And also sometimes, the turns of phrase were quirky and amusing; Hazel's reference to how her lungs ""sucked at being lungs"" was kinda funny, and she names her oxygen tank Philip because it kinda looks like a Philip. Silly stuff like that made me smile a little, and I did laugh when someone suggested the blind guy could make his screen reader read him porn in a German man's accent. That's the kind of thing we would have joked about in high school. Green also did a good job not making Hazel a complete stereotype of a nerdy girl; yes, she likes to read and isn't cool (and even points out that she is PROUD of not knowing what's cool), but she does watch a lot of junk television. (I am not clear on why she likes America's Next Top Model, but I'm okay without justification for her interests.)<br/><br/>Hazel's obsession with a novel's mysterious ending was interesting (and it was cool how she spread it to Augustus, after which they shared their curiosity for similar reasons). I liked this aspect of the book, and I liked that the author they were obsessed with did not have all the answers and epiphanies to their lives. The whole ""I need to find out what happens to these characters"" bit was set up somewhat like they would get a happy ending if they could resolve this unknown, but happily, the book did not reduce itself to one dimension in that respect.<br/><br/>And yet, I couldn't forgive it for several reasons, and nearly all of them had to do with the way the characters expressed themselves or were treated by the narration. Most notably, the dialogue was awful. The dialogue, throughout, for every character, in every situation, was some of the most pretentious and unbelievable stuff I've ever read. You can't read it out loud without feeling like you're reciting, and this isn't just the occasional moment of insight from a haunted cancer child with an old soul. It's every dang person in the book, 24/7, with the notable exception of when Green writes very young children, whose dialogue is simplified also to the point of unreality. (I have a pet peeve about child dialogue done wrong. I could deal with ""Gus has a GIRLfriend, LOL"" from his cousins. I could not deal with the ensuing ""LOL she has BOOBIES!"" nonsense. It was contrived. Like yeah, little boys often think boobs are funny. But the crass honesty of little children was somehow not captured here. I couldn't hear it.)<br/><br/>Let's talk about this dialogue. Okay, so, I was a geeky kid. Big reader, huge vocabulary, used a lot of complicated words and phrases. In college I had some pretentious friends. I did. Folks who literally referred to themselves as ""real"" poets (lifted from one of their profiles of yore: ""but not in a s***ty def jam kind of way; think Yeats, Eliot, Joyce. THAT kind of poet""). Folks who translated their poem titles into Latin just because they thought it added weight. Folks who sat around underage-drinking their Guinness and comparing their own road trips Across State Lines to the trials and tribulations of Kerouac. My clove-smoking open-mic-reading English major friends with literary references on their worn tee shirts didn't even talk like this.<br/><br/>I'm saying I know the type and the dialogue in this book is a really painful exaggeration of it. It's a big part of why I could not swallow what these people were about. If you meet a dude who walks around with unlit cigarettes in his mouth because oh don't you see it's a metaphor, ""You put the killing thing right between your teeth, but you don't give it the power to do its killing,"" I mean, how do you not punch that guy in the throat?<br/><br/>You still bought the cigarettes and gave your money to the cancer company, Augustus. How symbolic does it feel now?<br/><br/>The same dude's way of explaining why he got tired of basketball went as follows:<br/><br/>""I couldn't figure out why I was methodically tossing a spherical object through a toroidal object. It seemed like the stupidest thing I could possibly be doing.""<br/><br/>And I mean, it's not just the main characters who do this. Even the cabbie in a foreign country busts out with ""Some tourists think Amsterdam is a city of sin, but in truth it is a city of freedom. And in freedom, most people find sin."" What? Who talks like that?<br/><br/>Do you want to know how Hazel reacted when she thought Augustus was a smoker? Yes, this is dialogue.<br/><br/>""You just ruined the whole thing! The whole thing where a boy who is not unattractive or unintelligent or seemingly in any way unacceptable stares at me and points out incorrect uses of literality and compares me to actresses and asks me to watch a movie at his house. But of course there is always a hamartia and yours is that oh, my God, even though you HAD FREAKING CANCER you give money to a company in exchange for the chance to acquire YET MORE CANCER. Oh, my God. Let me just assure you that not being able to breathe? SUCKS. Totally disappointing. Totally.""<br/><br/>Definitely sounds like an emotional outburst, yes? 'Kay.<br/><br/>In the cancer survivors group, her way of commenting on fear of oblivion is the following:<br/><br/>""There will come a time when all of us are dead. All of us. There will come a time when there are no human beings remaining to remember that anyone ever existed or that our species ever did anything. There will be no one left to remember Aristotle or Cleopatra, let alone you. Everything that we did and built and wrote and thought and discovered will be forgotten and all of this will have been for naught. Maybe that time is coming soon and maybe it is millions of years away, but even if we survive the collapse of our sun, we will not survive forever. There was time before organisms experienced consciousness, and there will be time after. And if the inevitability of human oblivion worries you, I encourage you to ignore it. God knows that's what everyone else does.""<br/><br/>I'm definitely convinced that Hazel is sixteen and just a little intellectual, aren't you?<br/><br/>I'll spare you the words Augustus chooses for his love confession.<br/><br/>I don't have a problem with teenagers--especially intellectual, bookish ones--having ideas like these. Kids are freakin' smart, and can be quite deep. The words they chose for their messages, however, almost always felt so contrived and posed . . . and because of this, I always felt like someone was standing there with cue cards, or like I was listening to people reciting memorized speeches, not speaking from their hearts. (Interestingly enough, there WAS one part where a character was reciting what turned out to be a memorized speech, and there was not a difference between how he spoke during that and how he normally spoke in the novel.)<br/><br/>Furthermore, until the protagonist introduced herself as Hazel, I thought I was reading the words of a male character, and she continued to read as masculine to me whenever the narrative would bump up against explicit contradictions to this. She made a comment about how it frustrated her that boys are always making us watch their movies even though we girls don't LIKE those movies, ugh, we don't make them watch OUR movies, whyyyy?? and that just felt like a bid for authenticity that didn't work. She made a weird comment about how boys don't notice when the bra and panties don't match, and some other stuff that just . . . made me feel like stereotypes were invoked here and there to try to make Hazel read like more of a girl but most of the time they just jarred because she generally didn't read like a girl.<br/><br/>The thing is, their dialogue didn't make me dislike them as characters, usually. It made me dislike the choices their author made about how to write them. They never felt like people to me. They just felt like constructions, with deliberate planning, even though a lot of what they described were clearly things people have felt and could feel. There was a strange disconnection between the beautiful and terrible experiences the author described and the characters who were feeling them.<br/><br/>The disconnection also manifested in other ways. Green gives Hazel a friend from her pre-diagnosis days, and she was seemingly pretty much just a tool for showing the reader how alienated Hazel had become from the ""normal"" world. Kaitlyn is in school (unlike Hazel) and likes shopping, and has a peculiar need to meet at the mall at 3:32 (suggesting some random overscheduledness in her life, which proceeds to not affect her desire to shop for hours), and I am puzzled as to what these two had in common before disease put Hazel in a different world.<br/><br/>And though Green did a very good job maintaining the moment-by-moment realities of living with her kind of cancer (never letting the narrative forget that Hazel can't run, has to drag her oxygen tank around, will require untangling from tubes if you kiss her, etc.), there were other strange echoes of not-quite-connection. Hazel's a vegetarian. At one point she's randomly protesting why breakfast food is relegated to breakfast time. And then she's really excited that in a foreign country the meal that's delivered contains deli meat. (Presumably she's just excited that they aren't adhering to ""breakfast"" food, and it didn't say she ate it, but her being excited about lunch meat when her objection to eating meat is moral seems odd without more explanation.)<br/><br/>I also frequently felt that the author was simply *not actually picturing* the scenes playing out, because I couldn't see the characters doing the things they described doing, the same as he apparently wasn't imagining people actually speaking the words he wrote for them (unless he WANTED all his characters to be people we all kind of want to throat-punch).<br/><br/>Narration is also always ""telling"" me things. I hate the ""SHOW DON'T TELL!"" overly prescriptive writing advice as much as anyone, but I felt like recommending it a lot. Whenever Hazel started narrating about how she likes her mom but wants time alone, or how people think about her friend's demeanor and accent when said people are not there, or that she doesn't feel attracted to the love interest in the way she expected to and then later well now narration says she does, it again feels more like some third person is telling us the story rather than its being told by the person going through it. Sometimes we're connected to her thoughts and seeing through her eyes, and sometimes it feels more like she knows she's a character or that she has an audience.<br/><br/>Then there were just a few problems I had with how certain characters and concepts were presented. Most notably Isaac. At one point he's having an emotional meltdown and the other two characters in the room are kind of joking around or playing off it, which made it feel oddly cartoonish, like an animated villain character bawling in the background beating the ground in defeat while the heroes have their laugh before the iris out. And later, when he's learning to live as a blind person, the blindness is presented really oddly. He becomes really helpless, and though of course he is newly blind so some of that is expected, he also appears unable to do things I can assure you I can do with my eyes closed. People guide him into chairs by gripping his shoulders and treat him like he's incapable of anything at all. At one point Hazel, on her oxygen tank and living with late-stage cancer, claims to feel weird about being ""the healthiest person in the room"" when Isaac was there, despite that Isaac is now cancer-free and not incapacitated in any way besides being blind. Very weird how the book spent so much energy on highlighting the ""I don't want your pity"" angle of being a cancer patient and yet Isaac's blindness is regarded so negatively by the others.<br/><br/>And this is more a character flaw that's realistic rather than a character flaw that's the fault of writing I don't like, but I was immediately irritated when Hazel implied that it's creepy and obsessive for an unattractive boy to stare at you, but it was different that THIS boy was doing it because he was HOT after all. I know there are girls like that, but this made her feel really petty to me and I would have rather that not been so explicitly stated. ""Hot dudes get away with things not-so-hot dudes can't get away with and I'm totally complicit in supporting this double standard"" is not an admirable perspective for me.<br/><br/>And some of the ragging they did on religious people, implying they're not very smart and/or are dippy, kinda bothered me, even though I'm not religious myself. Seemed elitist to me. Like a lot of the rest of the book.<br/><br/>I was also surprised that when Hazel's favorite author mentioned that her generation is afflicted with having Internet obsession instead of brains, she doesn't react negatively at all. Maybe she was just too busy being a fangirl over getting a communication from the author she idolizes, but wow, that guy is an ass. (There was your warning sign there, Hazel, though I imagine if he'd made an exception for you you would have eaten it up because you don't seem to mind your generation getting insulted as long as you're acknowledged to Not Be Like Them.)<br/><br/>What else? The references annoyed me. References often annoy me in YA books because they make me think adults are trying to ""relate to the kids."" It wasn't ""OMG ladies, get the look that gets the hunks!"" bad, but I do wonder what drives these authors to select ""timely"" references that will surely be dated by the time the thing is published.<br/><br/>Overall, the whole ""OMG I'm so glad this is not A Cancer Book"" reaction--while valid, of course, since we need more Not Cancer Books--sort of eclipses the problems with what the book IS. ""Not sucking in this particular way which is indeed sucky"" isn't the same as telling a story that feels interconnected and authentic. I never believed Hazel. Her words always felt put in her mouth, her actions often constructed, her free will seemingly always either Leading To Something or Leading To Pointing Out How It Isn't Leading To Something. The book gets a lot of (deserved!) credit for being about the people affected by cancer and not about Lessons Learned and Inspirations Found, and the romance between Augustus and Hazel was truly about them as whole people, not as people defined by and ruled by cancer (while also, happily, not about pretending the cancer isn't there or treating it like something to See Past; it is, necessarily, part of them).<br/><br/>And I still didn't like them.<br/><br/>I didn't like the book.<br/><br/>It was sort of like all the pieces of the car were in place and fit the way they should, but then you turn the key and the engine doesn't turn over and no one knows why. It didn't go anywhere for me. There were pockets of truth and touching revelations, but they weren't attached to people for me. I almost always care about characters. I cry over books even when they're not particularly sad. It takes an odd amount of awkward distance between the character and their words to make me disconnect enough not to cry over them. I went into the book expecting to cry and I didn't. It was weird.<br/><br/>I sure hope there aren't any kids out there who bought cigarettes and walked around purposely not lighting them for a metaphor.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R23LP039GGI12X?ASIN=014242417X	What the heck was that?	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Let me begin by saying that I am no longer the target audience for this book. That was very apparent to me by the end of the first chapter. By the time I was at 34%, my Kindle said I had two hours left, so I stuck with it. I felt I owed it to &lt;s&gt;Romeo and Juliet&lt;/s&gt; Gus and Hazel to finish this tragic love story. I should also say that I knew the ending before I started reading. The book has been a bestseller for two years. If you don't know the ending, you might be living under a rock.<br/><br/>Anyway, I finished the book and I'm glad I did. The ending almost redeemed the book. That is why I gave it 2 stars instead of 1. I say almost because I can look past the teenage angst. I feel forced to look past the cancer because I have never had cancer and it would be heartless of me to trivialize the suffering of two fictional teenagers because I don't understand their plight. I do feel like Green uses cancer as a contrived plot device to guarantee the emotional entanglement of his readers.<br/><br/>The only cancer related complaint I have is when Hazel says that the only thing worse than having cancer is being the parent of a child with cancer. (I'm paraphrasing but I can see that I need to start underlining quotes that I want to comment on.) Anyway, after reading all about Hazel's teenage existential existence, she gives us this very mature (for a 16yo) statement. It felt like the author was pandering to those readers who might be parents of cancer patients. How would Hazel know what is worse? As evidenced by the entire rest of the novel, teenagers are the center of their own universe. Even more so when they have cancer (if this book is to be seen as realistic.)<br/><br/>On to my more pressing complaints.<br/><br/>When Hazel first meets Gus, he pulls out a cigarette and puts it in his mouth. She freaks out because she struggles to breathe. She is angry that he would give money for and use a product that creates cancer. Gus quickly explains to her that it is a metaphor. He puts the cancer causing cigarette in his mouth but doesn't light it so that it doesn't have the power to kill him. Magically, Hazel is OK with this. As long as he doesn't light it and only supports the cigarette industry buy purchasing them and giving them free advertising, everything is just peachy. Seriously? Really? This blazing hypocrisy is our first introduction to Gus and Hazel.<br/><br/>Another complaint is something that may be completely plausible but it doesn't seem so to me. If Gus was in remission for 18 months, how is it that he didn't know his cancer had returned until it was too late. Did he skip his scans and blood work for those 18 months? One day he just decided to have a PET scan and all of a sudden he lit up like a Christmas tree? With no warning? Seriously? I know Osteosarcoma is a form of cancer created for the book and that there is now way to know how quickly is spreads. But if the original warning signs and subsequent diagnosis were due to a small, highly treatable tumor, doesn't it seem more likely that Gus would have had plenty of warning that the cancer had returned? Does that mean he knew the whole time he was friends with Hazel and just lied to her the whole time? Hazal wasn't kidding about his hamartia!<br/><br/>And can we talk about the sex please. How does a kid with full blown Osteosarcoma walk around Amsterdam, climb all the stairs in the Anne Frank museum, help his sick girlfriend through the aforementioned museum and then return to the hotel and have the energy to have sex? Maybe sex is different when your are dying from cancer. It's one of those things I can't comment on without sounding heartless. But he could barely walk the next day. Gus had already started chemo so where did this burst of energy come from? And while this sex scene was relatively chaste why did it have to be included? Why do these dying teens have to have sex to prove their relationship? They don't. They're relationship could have been just as sweet and poignant without the sex. (If you can't tell, I'm not a fan of sex in YA fiction.)<br/><br/>But while we are talking about Gus and Hazel's sex scene....wouldn't she have noticed the fresh scar from his recently removed PICC or Central line when they were lying there naked??? Gus told Hazel that he had started his chemo before he left for Amsterdam and stopped to go on the trip. The first time Hazel sees Gus after returning from Amsterdam she notes that Gus has already has his PICC line put in. These events make it most likely that he had his IV removed before Amsterdam. So there would have been a fresh scar. And they were naked. Maybe it was a magical IV that left no trace....<br/><br/>With all those complaints out of the way, I will say that &lt;spoiler&gt;Gus' sickness and death&lt;/spoiler&gt; redeemed the book for me. The book seemed more realistic once they returned from Amsterdam. The emotions felt more authentic. Hazel obviously developed and grew as a person. She cared about what would happen to her parents after she died and she finally became aware of why Van Houten was the was he was.<br/><br/>It makes me wonder if any of the complaints I have are shared by any teenage readers. The second part of the book (after Amsterdam) was by far better than the first. Unfortunately, the first part was so annoying to me that the second part didn't entirely make up for it. Hazel and Gus somehow manage to turn cancer into a farce. It definitely didn't help me to understand the tragedy of living with cancer or even having a loved one with cancer. The ending is not cancer specific. Most people in the world know the pain of &lt;spoiler&gt;losing a loved one&lt;/spoiler&gt;.<br/><br/>I do just need to end with saying that I don't hate people with cancer. I swear I don't. I don't even hate tragic love stories. What I do hate is when authors use fake versions of real diseases as a method to garner sympathy for their ridiculous characters and their magical love-at-first-sight tragedies.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RD3G9K0M41J4R?ASIN=014242417X	If you like paper dolls, it's 5 stars.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is the ultimate pop culture cancer book, and everyone loves it so of course it came highly recommended.<br/><br/>Here's what I loved about it:<br/><br/>*The language. John Green writes a mean descriptive passage, and he does capture much of the essence of the cancer experience in this book. He also neatly weaved star metaphors and references throughout the pages.<br/>*The references to philosophers. This is one of the smartest young adult novels that I've seen on the market.<br/>*Hazel is not as insipid as Bella.<br/><br/>Here's what I didn't love about it:<br/><br/>*The protagonist is a caricature, and so are the rest of the characters. None of them felt real to me.<br/>*The ending- and not for the reason you'd think. I was highly disappointed that over and over again, the author referred to the ending of another book, and then chose not to write the ending that way. I was strongly hoping he continued those references into something meaningful. He didn't.<br/><br/>Having multiple people in my life that have died of cancer meant that I teared up once during my reading of this book; however, it was no thanks to the characters. The best bits of the book are the soliloquizing, and being a fan of Tom Robbins I can certainly appreciate that. This book would have had more depth without the plot, as a simpler writing on the emotions and thoughts involved with cancer - however, without the love story, the masses wouldn't have bought it. Well played, Mr. Green.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Sorry, read because of the hype and a ""New Yorker"" article about the author - whom I found an interesting man. This book is just plain boring.

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Without a doubt one of the best young adult books I have ever read. It is flawless. So I'm not really sure why you wouldn't want to buy The Fault In Our Stars.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1Q65KM2CCGV3B?ASIN=014242417X	Trashy	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is shallow, arrogant, poorly written and unbelievable just like all the 5 star 2 line reviews that were posted on May 7.  This book has been placed in my children's middle school library and I will be filing a formal complaint to have it removed.  It is not only the subject matter that is inappropriate, but it isn't even well written.<br/><br/>The 16 year old character is unbelievable.  He has made her sound like a sarcastic boy rather than a girl.  He has the conversations with her parents written out like a script... It's awkward to read as an adult, and then I become repulsed as a parent to think that my 13 year old daughter read this because it was in the school library!<br/><br/>Did I say that I will be filing a formal complaint with the school board to have this book removed?<br/><br/>I have had two friends die of cancer, and I know from talking with them about their diagnosis and their treatments, that they would never refer to other cancer patients or survivors as ""bastards"".  And this isn't the tone or thinking that I would want my daughter to emulate.  If people think this is a form of sarcastic humor and is a true look into the questions of a teenager about life and death, then this is a big part of the problem with our society.<br/><br/>If you are a parent of a 12-14 year old...take my word and know that this is not a book for them to read.  Sex between a 16-17 year old is not something I want my children to read, nor the language and sarcastic rude references about other people.  Public displays of affection causing the anger of the surrounding adults is not something to be proud of.<br/><br/>There isn't a plot, there isn't a deep story, it's rushed and shallow.  Save your money and your time.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RGXCKL8FAPFHQ?ASIN=014242417X	Horribly written!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I bought this book solely on the fact that it had gotten 15,000 five star reviews! You would think that many 5 star reviews it must be great. I was sadly wrong! It had so many made up words in it, it was difficult to read. The story was also very poorly written. In 321 pages I really could not even tell you what it was about! It's sad they are making a movie about it. Save yourself the time and money and just skip this read!</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R31IY532G3T39L?ASIN=014242417X	Chicken Soup for the Soul	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">**spoiler alert**<br/><br/>When you watch a special about John F. Kennedy or Abraham Lincoln, you know it's going to end badly. And so goes a book about a young girl with terminal cancer that falls in with a young boy she meets in a support group that is also recovering from cancer.<br/><br/>I am not really into reading books that I know are going to be sad, and I really only read this because my book club was reading it. In fact, I am a little surprised that this has been at the top of the New York Times best seller list for young adults for so long.<br/><br/>The entire time I was reading this book I was just waiting for the characters to die, and as the main character, Hazel, fell in love, I found myself wishing both her and her boyfriend would survive, and live happily ever after, knowing all along, one or both of them is probably going to die soon. That being said, there is still some uplifting and beautiful dialog between the characters, which would be suitable for someone looking for content to write a eulogy-which is the only reason I did not rate this less than the generous 3 stars I gave it.<br/><br/>I would not recomend this book, unless you are the type of person that enjoys Chicken Soup for the Soul style stories and you are looking for a good cry</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R267OOFHM1H5BU?ASIN=014242417X	Well-written but depressing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Author John Green lost his faith while attending seminary and working in a children's cancer ward. It is understandable that he would need to struggle with this loss in writing. It is unconscionable that he is doing it in teen fiction. Our teens need hope. Sometimes it's a matter of life and death.<br/><br/>Of course I am being too harsh. It's a good story and well-written. It is full of compassion and struggle with important questions. If this were one book among many hopeful, uplifting teen books, I wouldn't object. But it's not.<br/><br/>This view of life is too small, John Green. The quote is wrong. Shakespeare said: ""The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves.""<br/><br/>I have been with dying people and with children who are at peace with suffering and with God. This is a reality.<br/><br/>It is also a reality that it is very difficult to forgive God when you're on a children's cancer ward. That's okay. I feel helpless and angry when children suffer, too. But I yell at God, not at the children. And I don't make fun of others who are sincerely trying to help, even if they do it badly. Hope can heal. Despair can kill. As writers, the fault, dear John, is in ourselves.</span>"

2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2VIC0MR7JTM5Z?ASIN=014242417X	Not what I hoped	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">** spoiler alert **<br/><br/>I was very eager to read this book. It really took me into a world that I knew nothing about. At times I thought maybe I was going to give it 4stars but it just never grabbed a hold of me as I hoped. I enjoyed all the times when the author talked about Augustus and Hazel. I like how their relationship developed. I liked how two young kids in a crappy situation found each other. I enjoyed their time in Amsterdam and their first kiss. Who gets to say they had their first kiss at Anne Franks place? And then it went further and they had sex. But it just all lacked for me. I guess I wanted Hazel to talk more about her feelings for him. She just shared a first kiss with the guy and had sex. His first time, not sure about for her. I don't remember it saying. And not that I wanted juicy details of that night, just a little more substance with these 2 kids.<br/><br/>I read the below sentence on someone else's review and I would have to agree....<br/><br/>""But ultimately, what pissed me off was the fact that the book gets so deep, and at the same time says absolutely nothing.""</span>"

I'm a grandmother, definitely not a teenager, yet I learned so much.  It emphasized living in the moment because we never know when we are having our last good day.  It demonstrated parent/child love as well as the loving relationship between Hazel and Augustus.  Lastly, I learned about dying with dignity and what I can do to help others in their journey.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R13NMJQWZTOS4M?ASIN=014242417X	unfortnate	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Just to be clear: I am 16, I righteously identify as a hypocrite and a pseudo-intellectual myself, and I love to read--yet I find myself hesitant to stray away from classics or philosophical works for reasons such as TFIOS. This book was promising. I'd been recommended it by a considerable number of friends and of course I'd heard the ranting and raving all over tumblr, twitter, etc. I wanted a ""good cry"" really, and characters I'd grow attached to and really miss by the end of the book. I knew someone died (and I assumed it was Hazel), and I knew it was supposed to be sad, but my utter distaste for the novel as a whole completely transmuted any iota of empathy/sympathy into what emotion I can only depict as a wrinkled nose and a scoff. I've watched John Green's videos and read some of his tumblr posts, so I had a pretty good idea regarding his voice [as an author]. And though I love to feel an author's voice throughout a novel, I heard his ubiquitous and also imposing voice in each. and. every. character. I was reading a book narrated by John Green, talking to a bunch of John Greens in a very hipster pseudo-intellectual metaphors-on-steroids type universe. Not only was his voice intrusively unequivocal, but the tone itself bothered me. All the characters had these magniloquent, flowery ""gems"" they frequently thrust upon each other (and the reader). This was wonderfully juxtaposed with the tumblresque emotionspeak of a teenage girl. These two tones, while realistically juxtaposed, just didn't work in a novel setting. As I'm typing this grandiloquent review (and, mind you, I haven't even popped the Thesaurus.com tab), I'm also texting ""lol ya girl omg haha"" &amp; the like...but if John Green wishes to accurately portray an equally vapid and teenagery and intellectually explorative female character, he must be consistent with other accuracies as well. I could go on and on about the inconsistencies and inaccuracies present but I'm sure taking a peak at the other reviews will provide insight.<br/>One thing I did NOT have a problem with, unlike many other reviewers, was in fact the flowery language exhibited by each character. If consistent, it would have flowed beautifully--and thus I think the fundamental flaw in this text was that it depicted teenagers, who MUST be balanced as ""dumb teens"" and ""intellectuals"" in order to speak any truth about them. If it was written about adults and thus avoiding any ""teenagery emotional fluff"", it would have worked better in my opinion. John Green has a good voice. His characters are unrealistic, flat (I did appreciate Isaac and Lidewij (sp?), however), and there was evidence of subtle sexism. Examples of this can certainly be found in other reviews as I am much too impatient and indifferent to point them out.<br/>All this aside, this just wasn't the work for me. I felt that it tried WAY too hard to present metaphorical and ""pretty"" language that was just inconsistent and awkward. The characters were Mary Sue and boring and all projections of the author himself. This is the kind of book I like to dub ""teen fodder""; people my age just (sometimes brainlessly) gobble this stuff up. There were a few very explicitly and painfully described metaphors and gems that I thought were worthwhile, but their blatantness turned me off from appreciating them. This is also the kind of book that appeals to pseudo-intellectuals who think that books like this are mind-stimulating and....whatever. To say the least, I was extremely disappointed and expected at least an interesting plot--if not a literary disappointment--but even that couldn't be offered.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R9A4XOUGKFYKS?ASIN=014242417X	An Amazing Book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Honestly, when this book first came out- it appeared to be pure teenage angst-ridden twaddle with shades of Holden Caulfield and A Seperate Peace thrown in. I kept coming back to it; seeing the book EVERYWHERE. I am a young married woman in my thirties who is not afraid to read YA fiction. Then, two days ago, I checked this book out from the library. And sat down to read it. And read it in 24 hours. I cried, laughed and knodded. Hazel and Augustus are such a relatable pair of individuals and I really wanted to know them. Obviously someone dies. Obviously there are situations which may raise eyebrows or forms of dialogue and speaking- and if you are a person who never has spent time in the presence of cancer survivors or communicated with above intelligent adolescents may not find these characters true or realistic; but, I can assure you.. they are. I am reasonably confident this will become a new literary classic written for the modern times.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2GDS1DE52AT5V?ASIN=014242417X	It's NOT that great. Period.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I feel like I'm the only one about to give a rating below 4 stars but I must be honest:<br/><br/>This was a ""bipolar read"" for me. The story was gripping but exasperating at the same time. I appreciate the sip of raw/original teen characters but I kept wishing for the point of the story to come already. Why? Because the characters got WAY too ""I'm unlucky but unforgettably gifted"" AND irritating with their ""impressive"" remarks, speeches, etc...to me there was almost nothing realistic/relating about those teens. I didn't even care to understand them; they played their parts annoyingly.<br/><br/>I don't want to spoil the book in any way so lastly, I will admit that I was a little intimidated at times but what really made me want to run from this book was the moral of the story that seemed to grow like a never-ending mosquito bite. Itchy as hell too.<br/><br/>Verdict: give it a try.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3320RW2SYTXNP?ASIN=014242417X	Another from the Nerd Fighter	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">John Green is just amazing in my eyes. He knows how to be funny in sad moments and bring you back to Earth when you think the world is a fairy tale. He does a great job of mixing in relevant pop culture or language that makes you feel as if you could be one of the characters or know one of them. This all helps him to force you to read his books with the eagerness of Christmas morning. I cannot get enough of John Green.<br/><br/>Also be sure to check out his Webisodes on youtube, well worth it.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R35M3AC6NC1ERS?ASIN=014242417X	Best Book for Reluctant Readers	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">As noted, this is an amazing book.This Spring, I read it with a group of high school students designated as ""Long-Term English Learners"" — students who have been in our district for five or more years but are still struggling to pass their English classes and the California High School Exit Examination. We read the book together, out loud, nearly every chapter and every day these students were engaged in what they were reading.  Kids were volunteering to read out loud who had previously politely refused to do so; the vocabulary stuck with them and, more importantly, they understood these characters like they were friends.  I have never had a response so strong with any book I have read with of my English classes; I highly recommend this book for all the reluctant readers out there, and anyone who wants to understand the experience of cancer from a young person's perspective.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1XI6F35XGBIT?ASIN=014242417X	YA is back! And this is a YA masterpiece...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">A beautifully written novel on how first love isn't so innocent. The protagonists are a teenage couple in love who both have cancer. Their views on falling ill and struggling with their identities as ""cancer kids"" is raw and refreshing. From Hazel's view, it's not about being inspirational or upbeat--it's about keeping it real; from Gus's view, it's about infusing humor and loving honestly into daily interactions with others. Either way, these kids are mature beyond their years and seem to know more about life than most adults. They are highly evolved in the way they speak and interact; Green does an expert job of characterization, because their maturity is in character. Overall, I'm happy to see straight YA (not YA fantasy) make a comeback. Green should be proud for this accomplishment alone, as well as a well-written YA masterpiece.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1VEGTQECR5MYM?ASIN=014242417X	Sick lit, strange plot, strange conversation.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I love all of John Green books except this one. It feels weird, reading about two kids with cancer dating. Their conversation is strange. The plot is strange (I read about a third of the book, then quit.) The main character (the first person) is a girl, which has never happened with John Green, and she doesn't sound like a girl. (All the other girls in Green's books sound like girls.)<br/><br/>I got the book from the library. Lined up for it in July and got it right before Christmas -- there were 500 people lined up ahead of me. I didn't even know that there are many readers in my town! When I got the book, there were 500 people in line behind me.<br/><br/>I guess I don't really like sick lit. I knew this book was about cancer, but I wanted to try it anyway because it's John Green. Unfortunately for me, I couldn't manage to like it.</span>"

Before I bought it, I just assumed it would be just another lame romantic novel- but it was so much more than that. It moved me, it inspired me. I wish i can read it a thousand times. I feel like I know the characters Hazel and Augustus so well. Althought I don't have terminal cancer- I can relate to them and understand their pain. I highly recommend this book. Good job John Green.</span>"

2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2F7K4Q92M097R?ASIN=014242417X	Not all it is made out to be	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I found this story to be a little flat, and it wasn't as romantic as it is made out to be. The characters are extremely smart and witty, so much so that it's annoying. It almost seems like every character has a similar personality, which I'm assuming is a personality similar to the author's. A great book should have a variety of characters that all somehow fit together, not characters that all are exactly the same that coexist. I really thought I would connect with this book because I am pediatric oncology nurse, but it's very hard to connect when the characters are unrealistic.<br/><br/>I also did not find this book to be as sad as people say it is. I didn't shed a single tear even though I am usually very connected to emotional books. I honestly cried harder while reading Charlotte's Web.</span>"

The like frustrating thing about this book or whatever is like, this teenager speaks like a stupid valley girl or something and then uses words like: ""indefatigable"", ""monolith"", ""nihilism"" and like uses phrases like ""the abundant metaphorical resonances of human waste production"". I felt like the author was trying too hard to make sure we understood these teenager talked like teenagers or whatever. Okay, I am like exaggerating a little bit or something.</span>"

I know the young people now read books on vampires and such and play their video games, but it seems that they dwell on too much doom and gloom to be healthy--GO OUTSIDE AND ENJOY THE SUNSHINE.  These kids are pathetic.  I don't want to go into the old story of WHEN I WAS A KID but it's seriously true and getting worse it seems that they are all bloody couch potatoes.  I watch cooking shows and because of some healthy problems sometimes I have to do this for hours on end, but the amount of STUPID cartoons is ridiculous.  Not a bid fan of Seasame Street but at least the kids learned something.  HEAVEN HELP THIS GENERATION OF YOUNG ADULTS.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1Q5VPINTN5WN6?ASIN=014242417X	Not up to the hype	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read this book after all of the hype with the movie.  Given that the book is set in my hometown of Indianapolis, I was quite excited to read it.  Having said that, I thought it was just OK.  I have to say that I saw the 'twist' very early in the book...I hoped that the author would throw me another curve ball, but no such luck.  It bothered me that these two kids who were battling cancer had no belief in God or heaven.  After knowing kids and families that have also fought the hard fight against childhood cancer, I really struggled with that part of the book.<br/><br/>I will say that the author is a very good writer.  The book just didn't live up to the hype for me.  No, I did not go see the movie.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1A26BK4SDWIZ3?ASIN=014242417X	Different slant of the big C	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Knowing children and adolescents have cancer is a horror of truth.  Adults wonder at their strength through the process of fighting it and parents are tested beyond limits considered humane. Seeing your child loose their hair, their strength and possibly never reach their potential, never knowing the experiences adults remember of their own lives is just not what our society expects for their children.  This book covers much of this. It brings forward unpleasant thoughts and emotions we know exist, but don't want to have.  The saving grace is the way it is all presented in this book. The feelings are real, emotions pure, subject something we fear, but a book we won't forget.  Read it.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RLX1R8MUD5BZ3?ASIN=014242417X	Read this book, promise?	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars is told through the eyes of Hazel - who was set to die of the Thyroid cancer she was diagnosed with at age twelve, until, at fourteen, a medical miracle managed to shrink the tumours in her lungs. Now sixteen, and despite being told she could live `for a long time', Hazel subsists tethered to an oxygen tank and shut off from the world.  That is, until Osteosarcoma survivor Augustus Waters walks into her Support Group and changes her life.<br/><br/>In true John Green fashion, this book is somehow equal parts humour and pain. I didn't put it down until I was finished, and have now read it twice over, cover-to-cover.  Having been really charmed by one of his other works, An Abundance of Katherines, I had quite high expectations for The Fault in our Stars. This book has fulfilled those expectations and more. John Green should be applauded for his handling of the subject matter - and for managing to write a book about sick kids that wasn't a total bummer.<br/><br/>I've heard it said that the voices of John Green's characters are too alike and that their personalities blur together. However, that hasn't been my experience. It could well be true, and I just haven't read enough of him to become jaded about the personalities he creates. But, in either case, I would still gladly spend a hundred books with characters like Hazel and Augustus.<br/><br/>What I Loved:<br/>So, John Green's characters have a way of winning me over, but the real standout is his writing.  It's so stunning and insightful that it makes you read a particular passage over and over.<br/><br/>For instance,<br/>""I fell in love the way you fall asleep: slowly, and then all at once.""<br/><br/>I never thought I would be genuinely laughing out loud at a book about slow death by cancer - but it's so irreverent and unexpected and courageous that you forget what you're supposed to be feeling and just go with it. This may be a book about dying young, but it is so far from the usual Hallmark-movie style sob story that I can't really compare it to any other book about illness that I've ever read.<br/><br/>What Was Lacking:<br/>Nothing - for its genre, this book is as close to perfect as it gets.<br/><br/>Quote:<br/>""When you go into the ER, one of the first things they ask you to do is rate your pain on a scale of one to ten, and from there they decide which drugs to use and how quickly to use them. I'd been asked this question hundreds of times over the years, and I remember once early on when I couldn't get my breath and it felt like my chest was on fire, flames licking the inside of my ribs fighting for a way to burn out of my body, my parents took me to the ER. nurse asked me about the pain, and I couldn't even speak, so I held up nine fingers.<br/><br/>Later, after they'd given me something, the nurse came in and she was kind of stroking my head while she took my blood pressure and said, ""You know how I know you're a fighter? You called a ten a nine.""<br/><br/>But that wasn't quite right. I called it a nine because I was saving my ten.""<br/><br/>Read this book, promise?</span>"

That was not my issue with this book. I did not appreciate the constant use of foul language and the indifference to staying pure. The author seems to associate being terminally ill with a license to be rude, lewd, and basically do whatever is the whim. I would not recommend this book to any one to read!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RUQAO43GGP31T?ASIN=014242417X	incredible for having no plot	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The book didn't really have a plot. It was just about how the two main characters' relationship developed (with some afterthought of a plot line about tracking down some author). Maybe that's common for love stories; I'll admit that I'm not a fan of the romance genre, but I didn't think this book was in that genre.<br/><br/>Considering I'm not big on romance and there was no plot, though, the book was good. I don't mean that sarcastically. It was so well written and the characters were so believable (most of them) that it hooked me throughout. So kudos to Mr. Green. If he has a non-romance book that actually has a page-turner of a plot, I'd love to read it.</span>"

I am Hoping for, if Mr. Green were to write a sequel, I would enjoy it more than other sequals of other books I have read.<br/><br/>  THANK YOU FOR WRITING THIS BOOK, MR. GREEN!!!<br/>P.S.

John Green does a wonderful job delving into the world of Kids With Cancer (to use his capitalization and parlance from the book) but at times, it feels like the conclusions and narrative arcs are too predictable. I wish I had been thrown for more loops. But this critique is liking saying a supermodel doesn't have beautiful eyes. Guess what? Everything else makes up for that. The Fault In Our Stars is a beautiful book and one I'm proud to have read. How it got to the level of cultural phenomenon, though, is a little bewildering. To that, I tip my hat to John Green and say well done, sir.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2GOAAQ1V7GD9F?ASIN=014242417X	Stilted and Pretenious Dialogue	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Before I write what will be a scathing review, I will admit to crying at the end. There are sweet parts to this book but, overall, I hated it.<br/><br/>The teenagers speak in an overly witty way as if they're trying to compete with each other for depth and intellectual power. Their parents (the adults) come across as bland backdrops.<br/><br/>The teenagers seem to go out of their way to 'speak in metaphor.' For example, Augustus 'smokes' unlighted cigarettes - he puts something in his mouth which can kill him but does not give it the power to do so by leaving the cigarette unlit.<br/><br/>For example, when Hazel and Gus fly on a plane to Amsterdam, he puts one of his unlighted cigarettes in his mouth and, when the flight attendant asks him to remove said cigarette, Hazel interrupts with 'But it's a metaphor!' and goes on to explain the metaphor. Why is it that Hazel and Gus feel the need to impose their cleverness on everyone? The flight attendant does not care one whit whether the cigarette is a metaphor.<br/><br/>Throughout the book, I couldn't stop rolling my eyes at the dialogue. Precocious Hazel and Gus may be but, their superceding quality, is obnoxiousness.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3UDYFK2OD53H2?ASIN=014242417X	Good story, bad launguage.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Overall, I enjoyed this book. It contained humor, witty characters, and a lot of words I didn't know until I read it.<br/>However.<br/>The amount of bad language astonished me. The word s*** was probably on each page at least once in some form. Can you please use crap instead? Or instead of s***tier, worse gets the same point across. And please stop using the Lord's name in vain to tell me how attractive Augustus is! There are other words I will not write here. Although the Fault in our Stars was overall a well written book, John Green ruined it with hugely unnecessary amounts of bad language.</span>"

The way the author conveyed what everyone is thinking but no one really wants to say out loud is comical. These young teenagers seemed so wise and eloquent in their words but yet at the ends of their lives. I disliked the amount of profanity as I am not a curser but realized most teenagers probably wouldn't have an issue with this.i believe this book would be best suited for teenagers or young adults at heart. I enjoyed how everything was ended and would look to read another Green book in the future.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R20VYN3ZQ96Z4L?ASIN=014242417X	Great except for the bad language and teen sex.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is the story of Hazel and her friends Augustus and Isaac. All three of them have a different type of cancer and all are dealing with it in different ways. It was very thought provoking to see how each of their families was coping with the cancer that had invaded their children as well. I definitely spent some time with tears running down my cheeks as the book is charming and touching.<br/><br/>I did have to give it one less star than it deserved due to the bad language and teen sex. Unfortunately, the language was a little coarse at times, which was a shame.</span>"

4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R13VCS6UFZ3HL2?ASIN=014242417X	A big disappointment	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I had read one of John Green's books before (Looking for Alaska) and really liked it. I saw the 5 star reviews for this book and decided to give it a try. What a waste of money... spoilers to follow.<br/><br/>I didn't like any of the characters, neither Hazel nor Augustus. For some reason I just couldn't see them as real people - they were too glib about having cancer. I am a healthcare provider and I can tell you that yes, people react in different ways to having cancer, but these two were insufferable. Besides, AUGUSTUS? Really?<br/><br/>I could have dealt with the predictable storyline but the whole section about the trip to Europe just completely lost me. I thought it was soooo cheesy. Especially when they meet the author and he's a loser. COULDN'T SEE THAT COMING AT ALL. No way, he turned out to be a creep? After Hazel went to all the trouble of wearing her special outfit?<br/><br/>I really wanted to like this book but I found Hazel irritating and Augustus idiotic. The cigarette metaphor was stupid. The cancer perks were moronic. The only time I actually got interested was when Augustus was dying and his family wouldn't let Hazel visit. I felt like that was the only realistic part of this very self-indulgent story.</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Finished this in 2 days (would've finished it in one if I hadn't had work). I thought I had this one all figured out, and I just waited for things to happen the way I anticipated, when it threw a waterballoon and stuck its toungue out at me in the most heart-wrenching way.. It is engaging, it is a page turner, it's fun. Haven't seen the movie, but I might have to now - if it is just half as good as the book, I will enjoy it. I feel kind of empty now that I finished it. It left a void in me, in that amazing way that only a great book, movie or series is able to.</span>"

No comprendo el éxito que ha tenido. No he visto la película, pero como siempre pasa que el libro es mejor ni perderé mi tiempo, pues terminaré dormida viéndola como me pasó leyendo el libro. No me gustan los personajes, los adolescentes no hablan así y me molestó esa obsesión con un libro y por conocer el final, tanto que la protagonista actuó como una niñita malcriada (contrarrestando lo especial, madura e inteligentemente que la describían). Definitivamente, no es un libro que me gusto ni lo recomendaría.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2E2ED5TJQRCKX?ASIN=014242417X	Fantastic	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read a lot of positive reviews about this book and thought, ""A book about kids with cancer? I don't think so."" I figured it would be kind of preachy and cliche and sad. But finally a gave in and I am grateful I did. This book is truly about the meaning of life and because it's told through the lens of a teenager, it loses much of the possible cliches and inherent pretension. There are layers of meaning combined with laugh out loud moments. It is honestly one of the best books I've ever read.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2K4U6ZW284XF3?ASIN=014242417X	Not For Me	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Definitely not my kind of book. I decided to read this book, because of all the hoopla everyone was ranting about. It wasn't a bad book, I wouldn't say I wouldn't recommended it to others. It's just not may type. My favorite line in the whole book was the final sentence. I didn't need my tissues handy, because I already knew what was going to happen. My daughter loved it and told me the ending after I had told her that I didn't think I would read it. Curiosity got the best of me and I gave it a shot.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RHC3KOVWEB3WJ?ASIN=014242417X	Leave the language out!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I would have been more inclined to give the book more stars if it had clean language.  I detest authors putting in trash language when teenagers will be reading the book.  It is bad enough when adults have to be bombarded with it.  Not everyone speaks this way.  Write a book we can enjoy for the story.  It was a very heart wrenching story featuring three teens who meet in a support group for cancer victims.  It tells of the agony of friends and families who go through it with them.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R144WXP9Z3NGZJ?ASIN=014242417X	Was expectig more	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I didn't connect to any of the characters. I had a problem with the beginning because a sentence was a paragraph long. I did feel bad for what they were all going through. I've known people in my life who have battled cancer. Some have won, others have not. It's not easy to watch someone fight that battle.<br/><br/>I read the book because I wanted to see the movie. I also like the cover of the tie in movie cover.<br/><br/>I'd say read it for yourself and form your own opinion.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R29AVCMFBIX08Q?ASIN=014242417X	I'm Afraid to Tell People What It's About	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I don't want them to think it is a depressing book.  It is beautifully written with images, ideas, inspiration that I loved.  Although not a long book, it took me quite a while to read it because I had to put it down, digest and process it before continuing.  Although it's a YA book, it is very appropriate for all ages because we are all dealing with end of life issues and decisions---we are all dealing with the loss of a loved one.  Life is about Death:  dying is about living.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R177F65L0UTHOJ?ASIN=014242417X	Just plain disappointing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I really wanted to like this book, because the commercial for the movie looked so endearing and heartfelt. However, I was unpleasantly surprised with the most poorly written book I think I've ever read. I don't understand the craze, I just don't. Perhaps I'm ignorant and don't understand all the teenage philosophical thought, which I admit was entertaining at times, but mostly just, for lack of a better word, pretentious. I found that the most disappointing thing about Mr. Green's writing is that he neglected to develop his supporting characters as fully as I am used to. Perhaps if I had had more insight into their thoughts and feelings I would have feel anguish over the loss of them. I'm not a professional critic, but I thought I might be able to save someone a little bit of time if they have other books they could read instead. If you want a book to dive deep into and just get lost in, please don't read this book. It's shallow, and as we all know, diving in shallow areas is dangerous.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R28BD9B4LPGMWY?ASIN=014242417X	Pass the time with this piece.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I wanted to like it, I really did but all it did was romanticize cancer. I tried to like it but I couldn't look past that. I have read other John Green works and this follows his blueprint so it's not outstanding. The only thing that kept me going was that the dialogue was a little different than I'm used to seeing in books, and there was a slight twist, but nothing shocking. I found some of the characters (the mother for one) to be incredibly.... not smart.</span>"
1.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3TJG7XUCGJQPB?ASIN=014242417X	This was the single worst book I've ever read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This was the single worst book I've ever read. It was cheesy, unoriginal, and predictable. I wouldn't recommend reading it, and I wouldn't recommend watching the movie. In fact, the only thing worse than this book is the movie. This book is the kind of influence that makes teens the senseless incapable human beings that they are. I won't even associate myself with people who enjoyed this book.<br/>Sincerely,<br/>Someone who read it when they were a teen.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3CVJO1TMRHLJU?ASIN=014242417X	Sad.  Depressed me.  Why???	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I give it four stars for the witty catty fun humor, despite all the poop dying parts. I wanted to love this book. there are a lot of amazing quotes in it. the writing itself is great. Basically about two sick and dying people that fall in love. you know one of them will die in the end, you know it will end terribly, you know it will rip your heart to shreds and hand it to you on a platter. but you read it anyway. we humans are true gluttons for punishment.</span>"
1.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2QUA40541HM1H?ASIN=014242417X	Very good read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Extremely surprising ending to the book.  My daughter has been bothering me to read this book so I finally decided with movie coming out I would give it a read.  I read a significant amount of books and this was very thorough and thought provoking about the importance of living each day to its fullest.  My life has been truly blessed so I have not had to experience cancer within my circle; however, I do appreciate the struggle especially among the youth.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3EA8FMUP8308Y?ASIN=014242417X	this book was pretty bad	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">the writing is weird and i dont like this book. its really boring and there is no excitement what so ever.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2MU9O23J4CTYT?ASIN=014242417X	Dismay!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is very poorly written about a very sad topic. It awkwardly inserts sensationalism in order to keep the young readers attention and to appeal to the movie makers.  It could have been written in a gentle and sympathetic way without degrading it in the manner that is presented here.  My biggest concern is that teachers are putting this kind of material in the hands of students as low as six graders.  I am a retired teacher and would not think of using this book in a classroom as an example of good literature.  In fact, I would be very upset if my children would have been exposed to this material in any grade.  Some authors seem to think they need to present ""R"" rated material to get that movie contract and high ratings.  Do teachers read these kind of books before using them with students?  Very disturbing to know my grandchildren are exposed to this filth when there is multitudes of good literature available.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3INLW3LW25TVC?ASIN=014242417X	not how I expected	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book grabbed my attention from the beginning. I knew what was going to happen and I thought I would be prepared for it. The story was amazing and I laughed and cried. Twists and turns that came I wasn't expecting but a beautiful love story with true world expectations was told beautifully. Life's not a fairy tale and not all love story's end happy. Loved this book and I would recommend it to anyone for a good, quick, light read.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2KB9NEF3MXL43?ASIN=014242417X	I thought this book was depressing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read the reviews before I selected this book.But I did not find it to be a happy book.  When you have been touched by cancer in your life, the struggle of these young adults, made all the memories come back.  Also, I'm glad I read it on my Kindle because these young adults used words that I have never heard and I had to keep looking them up.  I would not recommend this book to anyone who has recently been touched by cancer.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R22HT10I7KZNOQ?ASIN=014242417X	cancer is awful, not a plot device.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Cancer, terminal illness, and death are not novel and the fact that this book and film have a Twilight-esque following is disturbing; commercializing this brand of pain is bull s***. A biography using the real girl's story and a non-fictionalized version of her story is completely valid, but to NOVELIZE (ie: to literally make dying of cancer/losing true love to chance ""novel"") is so gross, and weird, and creepy. I don't mean to insult anyone who may like this book/film, but please just take a moment to appreciate your life, health and loved ones and realize that this is a complete exploitation of REAL, LEGIT, HORRIBLE pain and loss and maybe, consider, please, giving your $14 to cancer research charity instead of spending it on this book/film. Catharsis is a natural human need/outlet, but please step back and examine just how ignorant and misused this particular scenario is being presented. ...this is real tragedy being portrayed as Shakespearean tragedy, but it is not romeo and Juliet; it's not fiction and it should not be considered a romantic ideal; healthy lives are dramatic enough, but life-taking cancer will not make your love and life better, more real, more intense or more interesting, it will just be a terribly unfair, unjustified pile of s*** on a plate, in a random world where bad things happen to good people. The real tragedy of Romeo and Juliet was that the conflict was trivial; two young people with the world at their feet died prematurally over a bs cause.  Cancer, HOWEVER, is not trivial. But also understand, that while this diatribe sounds cynical, I intend the entire, half-full opposite; rather than celebrating this fictional bull s***, why not celebrate what YOU HAVE, namely your health and the health of the ones you love. Also, if it takes a cancer-stricken teenage love story to make you feel/cry/release, than you're a sociopath, bc there is so much s*** in the world that is spontaneously funny and lovely and heartbreaking and awful, that -with minimal empathy- are worth crying and feeling over instead. And, in today's connected, info-accessible world, it only takes a tiny bit of curiosity, humanity and effort to find those things. Tragedy does not equal depth of character. The act of seeking depth of character is the only thing that builds it, and I, in my shallow existence am striving for that every day, while knowing -consciously - that I have a long, long way to go, and believing -optimistically - that others are too.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R14EH7WU99H5AM?ASIN=014242417X	Age-appropriateness review: literary and moving, but unhelpful, unfair and crass.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in Our Stars, by John Green<br/>(hardcover, 2012)<br/><br/>What sort of perspective would an atheist typically bring to a discussion about dying, the possibilities of life after death, or about the (ir)relevance of sexual mores to someone who is dying? This book's tone is pretty representative. It does present a vivid window into the lives of modern teens (albeit atypical ones) dying of cancer, and it does fairly well at critiquing the unhelpful things people do or say (with perhaps too much focus on Christians--p.4-5, 16). Once I was able to accept the extremely precocious main characters, I found the book quite moving. (I agree with other reviewers that the peripheral characters were better and more believable but not very developed.) So in terms of catharsis, and witty dialogue, there is some value.<br/><br/>But after its critiques, the book can do little to present a more helpful or uplifting perspective (although the reminder to ""walk lightly upon the earth"" is a good one):<br/>- ""And if the inevitability of human oblivion worries you, I encourage you to ignore it. God knows everyone else does."" (p.13; cf. 312)<br/>- ""Cancer kids are essentially side effects of the relentless mutation that makes the diversity of life on earth possible."" (p.49)<br/><br/>That tone will turn off many of the more spiritually-minded readers, as will the crass language. (Here are a few samples: 245 258 273 280) Also, vindictiveness is pretty much condoned: 229 277. And lots of sexuality: 19 94 207 etc.<br/><br/>As literature, it is quite interesting, though a bit heavy-handed. Some of the metaphors (e.g. the grenade and scar metaphors) are quite good. Here are a few quotes, which may or may not be useful out of context. (Spoiler alert.)<br/>- ""pain demands to be felt"" (57)<br/>- ""I'm a grenade and at some point I'm going to blow up and I would like to minimize the casualties, okay?"" (99, cf. 59) ""Only now that I loved a grenade did I understand the foolishness of trying to save others from my own impending fragmentation"" (214)<br/>- ""But there is no shortage of fault to be found amid our stars.""(112)<br/>- ""Even though I hated the sympathy people felt toward me, I couldn't help but feel it toward him."" (132)<br/>- ""I'm not saying it was your fault. I'm saying it wasn't nice."" (135)<br/>- ""'I don't smoke,' he explained, the cigarette dancing in his mouth as he spoke."" (146)<br/>- ""Some tourists think Amsterdam is a city of sin, but in truth it is a city of freedom. And in freedom, most people find sin."" (157)<br/>- ""You can't dump a girl with a brain tumor"" (175)<br/>-  He: ""If you don't live a life in service of a greater good, you've gotta at least die a death in service of a greater good, you know? And I fear that I won't get either a life or a death that means anything..."" She: ""That's a really mean thing to say to me."" [since she hasn't done much either] (168-9)<br/>- She: ""You say you're not special because the world doesn't know about you, but that's an insult to me. I know about you."" (240)<br/>- ""According to Maslow, I was stuck on the second level of the pyramid, unable... to reach for love and respect and art and whatever else, which is, of course, utter horsesh--"" (212)<br/>- ""It felt like losing your co-rememberer meant losing the memory itself"" (262)<br/>- ""The sequel was a tiny thing to die for, but it was the biggest thing left at his disposal."" (304)<br/>- ""She walks lightly upon the earth. Hazel knows the truth: We're as likely to hurt the universe as we are to help it, and we're not likely to do either."" (312) [Contrasts with ""You leave your scar upon me in all this, and I am perpetually grateful for your influence.""]</span>"
1.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2H8JKHO1CIL77?ASIN=014242417X	Meh.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I see I'm not alone in the 2-star rating category. I haven't read any of the reviews, and will take a general overview of why people thought this book was good, as it interests me more than why they thought it was not good. The tale of Augustus and Hazel wasn't bad, but for me, it was long, drawn-out and repetitive. I felt the story could have been told in 7-10 chapters, tops. Terminally ill kids fall in love; there's nothing surprising or engaging here, and to draw out the story is to make a fast buck on the dilemmas of the ailing. Then, package it all into a movie, and whiz-bang, you're now making money off of the exact pity and drama that the main characters condemn. The themes are: a.) don't pity me, and b.) we are all human and fallible. Yet the author makes bank on all of the above. I dunno. I guess if it's ""what the people want"" the reader is supposed to jump in and accept it? But, again, that mentality is one of the very points that the book professes to be wrong.<br/><br/>I find the names of the fictitious characters to be annoying and distracting; and the pretentious dialog between all of the characters, except for the shuffling parents, is equally annoying. When the quirkiness of a character's name calls too much attention to itself, it's like having too much icing on the cake. The reader is obliged to put up with the distraction throughout - and in this case, for 313 pages.<br/><br/>The story started as interesting, funny and engaging, but then dwindled into a tale that rambled and whinged. There are holes in the plot, too, which is aggravating. The death and disappointment did not bother me, but the rhythm of the plot was drowned by the entangled dialog and general sense of the author starting and stopping the flow -- not knowing really how to keep the plot moving evenly. I had the sense that the author lost steam in the end, and was by that point so entangled in the character intricacies, that he didn't really know how to end the book.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R12JD2Z6M5P61W?ASIN=014242417X	Highly recommended to all readers!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read this book in one sitting, yup, that's right...one sitting.  I seriously plopped down on the bed - cried and laughed a bunch and hours later looked up with a finished book in my hand.  That being said, I don't really think this is a novel that should be devoured in one go.  I will most assuredly be rereading this sometime later in the year at a more leisurely pace because it deserves time for thoughtful pauses.<br/><br/>I can't touch on the plot without fearing that I'll venture into spoilery territory - so I just won't go there.  I will say that both Hazel and Augustus are fantastically witty and loveable characters.  Also, I got a big kick out of the fact that the book is set in Indianapolis.  Since I only live about an hour away, I've visited many of the places mentioned (including Funky Bones)!<br/><br/>So I know that this book could be mistakenly lumped into the sappy ""Cancer Book"" category but really, it's not.  As Hazel points out, ""Cancer Books"" have certain annoying epic tropes inherent in them (such as angelic cancer patients living their lives with quiet dignity).  The Fault in Our Stars is simply about the relationship of two intelligent teenagers who are dealing with cancer (well, and about hopes, fears, life, love, art, poetry, etc).  John Green's amazing writing combined with his ability to realistically portray teenagers make this an extremely poignant read.  This book will resonate with pretty much everyone because it deals with universal questions of mortality and purpose.<br/><br/>Originally I thought to give this book 4.5 stars but after further consideration have upped the rating to 5.  The reason for my original assessment was due to the Dawson's Creek-ification of the main characters wherein teenagers have a vocabulary that far surpasses many adults.  In the end, I decided I don't care about this because a) I wish more people in general exhibited a superior grasp of the English language and b) this book is just so darn good it deserves a 5 star rating.<br/><br/>Seriously go read this book.  If you're afraid of crying, too bad.  You will cry but it is absolutely more than worth your tears.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RWXZD89VAO3S2?ASIN=014242417X	Heartfelt and entertaining	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book shows a different side of the 'cancer kid' book genre. The characters are well developed and original. I like that Hazel is a little odd, but very smart. She definitely is a teenager with sarcasm and a little narcissistic. I would recommend this book for any young adult or adult who likes to see things from a teen's perspective. It is thought provoking, but will also pull on your heartstrings.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2R909PY57K0R2?ASIN=014242417X	Options	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This story, although a trick within itself, is truly eye opening. It took me a while to understand some things about the concepts, but despite that I truly liked it. It made me cry, yes, but it didn't actually make me feel anything more than hopeful that I can make my choices and feel the way I do about who I want to. I have the option  to take in what this book has told me in a positive way. So I will.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3VHZA0WOEUTX0?ASIN=014242417X	Pass on this one...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I found the book to be devoid of hope and lacking class.  I think it's been done before but better.  I didn't like that the characters were rude, sarcastic, and potty-mouthed.  As light and fluffy a read as Nicholas Sparks is, I still think he turned out a much better version of the tragic, dying teenage love story in A Walk to Remember than this is.  I wouldn't recommend, and I won't see the movie.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R248KIAH9K2WWM?ASIN=014242417X	The fault in any other book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Did you like Twilight? The hunger games? Divergent? Any other teen/ young adult book? When I read this book I laughed, I cried, I shared emotions with every character. This is the BEST BOOK I HAVE EVER READ. This is a ABSOLUTELY MUST READ!!!! It's realistic, fun, sad, and just strait on wonderful. I feel as if this is real. John green has done it. I pledge my love to this book, along with my life.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2W4QVYPBGD89P?ASIN=014242417X	A Must for Young Adults	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Even the title of this novel written by John Green has a philosophical meaning which has been extrapolated by a line written by William Shakespeare, in the play of Julius Caesar.<br/><br/>'The fault, dear Brutus is not in our star, / But in ourselves, that we are underlings<br/> (Act1, scene 2)<br/><br/>The plot is very simple but not superficial because you will be the a magical cannula of Hazel, you will be able to smell her breath, her opinions and frustration.<br/><br/>You will live in Indianapolis in the United States with the beautiful name of Hazel with cancer of sixteen year old.<br/><br/>Having diagnosed with clinical depression, your family will force you to join a support group, where you'll meet and fall in love with the seventeen year old Augustus, an ex-baseball player without a leg.<br/><br/>This is not a sad novel if you will be able to extrapolate the positivity summarized in the following passages:<br/><br/>You are able to love Augustus intensively<br/><br/>""The space around us evaporated, and for a weird moment I really liked my body""<br/>(page 203)<br/><br/>According to the Maslow's pyramid you are considered inferior (page 213) and also by other humans like you for instance:<br/><br/>""Augustus Waters did not die after a lengthy battle with cancer. He died after a lengthy battle with human consciousness, a victim as you will be of the universe's need to make and unmake all that is possible"".<br/>(page 266)<br/><br/>In my opinion this novel is suitable for young adults, it explains the life of a human being, they must be educated on this principle the summation of our sneaky racism.<br/><br/>Cheers<br/>IP</span>"

I don't mean to sound hypercritical of a lovely, but doomed love affair between two young people.  But this is not a book for adults.  The angst we all had at that age is very well portrayed in this book.  I know it's very popular and was made into a movie, etc. but I can't recommend this book for anyone outside of teenage years.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2CB28CAOMW5QE?ASIN=014242417X	Speechless!!!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I absolutely LOVED this book. it was super sad that Gus dies and that u never find out when hazel dies but that is one of the reasons that I liked it. it was like the book aia that was mentioned. u never find out and u get to make up ur own ending. as much as I like set endings this is an exception. John green is a very talented author and can make a sad story a must read novel!</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RTCISD2XVFJQT?ASIN=014242417X	A Little Hard To Read Sometimes	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I chose it for the fact it was about young people with cancer and being on the best seller list.  The characters were okay...actually liked Augustus and Isaac better than Hazel.  However, the ""deepness"" of the poetry and my extreme dislike for the author she was pursueing got a little old.  It was an okay read but I'm not sure why it ended up on a best seller list.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/ROPRISRIJ81DA?ASIN=014242417X	Faulty Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I suppose I didn't read enough about this book before downloading it. I am assuming it is intended for young people or perhaps written by someone very young. It is just too much sentiment, trauma, and teenage drama for me; but I only read the first few chapters before giving up on it. It is now a movie, so it may be very good if you stay with it. - Just not for me.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R79T6B88TEHKU?ASIN=014242417X	Bring Your Kleenex	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I was supposed to be reading review books. But after finding this book for Roberto I asked myself what problem would it cause if I just read a few pages of this one. I wanted to find out why Roberto wanted to read it. Well, that was a mistake and a half. Not only did I not want to read any review books, I didn't want to work. I seriously considered not going to sleep. My phone and iPad were monopolized by this book. I drained both batteries trying to get through it in the shortest amount of time possible. While guilt filled me for neglecting the other ebooks.<br/><br/>John Green's book was brilliant. Sad, yet so full of life. Cancer has affected everyone I know. They all have a tale or two, some more tragic than others. I have been blessed thus far by not having known personally a youngster who has had to battle cancer. After reading this novel, I'm wondering if I can still classify myself as being blessed? The teens John wrote about had so much insight into life. They were intelligent, serious, fun-loving and could teach anyone about how to live. Their love for each other and the world around them was contagious.<br/><br/>What can I say? I laughed. I cried. And I cried some more. This was one of the best books I've ever read. John Green has perfectly voiced a sixteen-year-old girl who is fumbling through the first love of her life. If I knew Augustus when I was 16, I would have fallen in love with him too. This is a must read for everybody. Just make sure you have some Kleenex in your pocket. You're going to need it.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RNY44TZ8CJL7I?ASIN=014242417X	Meh	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">In my mind it was obvious that this book was made for teen reading. The hyper-focus on the relationship and cancer made it a little boring for me, I prefer a lot of things to be going on, I suppose. It wasn't an unpleasant read. I really only picked it up on the insistence of a friend and probably wouldn't have otherwise. Maybe romance isn't my genre.</span>"

I immediately fell in love with Hazel and Gus. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was because I found it frustrating and sad that (spoiler alert) Hazel didn't truly believe in an afterlife.

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I'm not going to get into the philosophies of the book (they've probably been covered) so excuse me for not going into detail about why it's ""not great"" despite (at this moment) 13,112 others saying that it is. I'll simply say: I enjoyed the slightly caustic, humorous outlook some of the characters had of their various forms/types of cancer... but then Hazel just really started to get on my nerves. She seemed to constantly use ""like."" I get that the book was written from her point of view, and that she's a teenager, but the overuse of ""like"" in the dialogue as well as the description/monologue was just, like, really, like, grating...... like.... yeah. &lt;--- This isn't an exact example, of course, but I'm leaving it at this.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1HW1V9SI9JTTG?ASIN=014242417X	The fault in this book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">First of all let me start by saying that I normally don't read romance books like this because I think they sound boring and after reading this book I realized I was right.  The whole entire story goes like this: Hazel meets Augustine and he takes her to meet her favorite author, then on the trip they fall in love, then after what seems like forever in the hospital,the boy, Augustine dies.  The whole story goes on about how Hazel thinks she is going to die and goes on and on and on about it.  Some parts are boring but I can't say I hate it because I liked the parts about their friend Isaac who becomes blind from the cancer and about meeting the author Peter Van Huston.  If you like romance books then you might like it though, just nothing to go crazy about. The fault in this book is the beginning.  Where it says that if an ugly boy stared at her then it would be different then if a non ugly boy stared at her and a good- looking boy could be just as abusive as an ugly boy.  Did you ever think of that?</span>"

2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2HX1QKK9L3ZNY?ASIN=014242417X	Quite the Roller Coaster of Emotions	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This was my second attempt at reading a John Green novel, and just as with Looking for Alaska, I found myself a little disappointed. My expectations were possibly a little high, or at least incorrect. I came to the book hearing that “it was not another cancer novel.” By this, I expected it not to be A Walk to Remember…in other words, not to be overly melodramatic and mawkish, to be generally more honest.<br/><br/>There were several problems to me with the book. The first is that I’m not sure how the book could have been more melodramatic and mawkish. It is a roller coaster of emotions--trying to jar you back and forth just about as violently as it can. I think that the author thought that some occasional outbursts of cynicism and despair would cover over the uber-sentimentality of the novel, but I think that just added to it. The second is that the characters are often, frankly, childish and even sometimes mean. I guess that such should be expected--they are teens after all who live in difficult circumstances and so have a right to act selfish and moody. But at the same time, the tantrums and fits these characters display seems so at odds with the extra- extra- extra-ordinariness in everything else that they do. I know that a standard critique of the novel is that the characters seem too old for their years (how many 15 year olds can start reciting “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock”), but that didn’t bother me as much as how they are not more consistently mature for their age.<br/><br/>Third, it seemed like an oddly paced book. There’s a big twist to the novel, and once it happens, everything is very, very quick to the end. I felt somewhat cheated that the development that went into the beginning of the novel, up through the trip to Amsterdam, did not carry on to the end of the book. I will say that my high school students, even though they tend to love the novel, also tend to agree with me on this point.<br/><br/>Overall, I found this an occasionally entertaining book, a teen melodrama that’s not as different from A Walk to Remember as you’d expect.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3DCY5BLVVDW5J?ASIN=014242417X	Not impressed	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I had heard that this was such a good book, but I quit reading it after the 3rd chapter.  I got tired of the bad language used continuously by the characters.  Hard to care much about people who talk that way.<br/>Sorry, but I don't see why people think this book is so great.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1V5ZE9DAC2LKI?ASIN=014242417X	Yes, teenagers do speak this way	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I came to amazon today to redeem a gift card and was surprised the book I finished reading just hours ago was the first book on the site.  As I looked through the reviews to see if others thought the way I did, I came across one review that said a failing of the book is that teenagers ""don't speak this way."" Well, I was handed this book yesterday by a teenager and told to read it.  I began reading last night and finished  today.  One of the highlights for me was the language. The allusions and metaphors, while sometimes a bit esoteric, were leavened by the multiple pop culture references.  I am fortunate to work with teenagers on a daily basis and they are smart. Remember, a teenager gave this to me.  It is a pleasure to read a novel that doesn't pander to the lowest common denominator.  More authors need to write at this level.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RYJ65ZU07UIS3?ASIN=014242417X	This book is not as good as the reviews say...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I was excited to read this book because of all of the excellent reviews it was getting. I can't say that I agree with them though. While I thought this book was well-written, I am not sure the story pulled me in as it did others. This story is about two teens struggling with Cancer. They befriend each other and of course there isn't a happy ending. It is a very emotional book but there is just something about it that did not tug at me as I had hoped. Overall it was extremely depressing. I felt terrible for both sets of parents and of course the teens stricken with this horrible disease. I don't mind reading about intense or upsetting subject matter if I can somewhat relate to the characters or feel some type of emotional connection but unfortunately I just didn't feel that with this book. All I felt was sad.</span>"

3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3PIHBTB14AR6W?ASIN=014242417X	Sadness In Between The Pages	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I'd like to preface this review with the disclaimer that I do not mean to be jerky however, my feelings in this review come from a place of wonderment at the state of emotion that come from bringing certain topics up in our society.<br/><br/>That being said, something that I find so interesting about stories that deal with illnesses is that they seem to skirt the issues of being sick and the ""perks"" that terminally ill people seem to receive. However, John Green stands stoically in his authorship and calls us all out on our bull****.<br/><br/>Both, Augustus and Hazel are made into optimistic if not angsty teenagers who are speeding toward oblivion furiously reaching out for a lifeline to keep them tethered to this world. While,I respect Green's writing style and story, I found that the characters themselves are not entirely new to literature. Hazel becomes the symbolic character that gets left behind once her boyfriend gets spirited off (no pun intended) to the after world and Augustus is the character who dies before his time. Together, their story while cute in some spots and heart-wrenchingly sad in others is not one that was fresh enough for me to fall down in total awe upon it's ending.<br/><br/>Yet, I can say that I was enticed by the idea that two people could go on this sort of journey together to excavate a story's ending from their favorite author half-way across the world. Green produces this adventure in a way that's so realistic that I found myself seriously thunderstruck when I got to the scene where Peter Van Houten denies these two cancer-ridden teenagers their last grand ""wish."" At this point in the story, I came to the conclusion that maybe what people like Augustus and Hazel really need is not so much our pity for them but, our understanding that they are really just individuals who are just like their ""healthy"" contemporaries who are searching for life's answers. Therefore, the one thing that seriously struck me in this novel is that people like Augustus and Hazel are no different than you or I. Like us, their death is inevitable. However, unlike us, they have a ballpark figure of when their final days are going to draw to a close.<br/><br/>Overall, I found the book to be an interesting and funny read with a light romance laced throughout the plot. I would recommend the book to others as a conversation starter but, not as a book that needs to be continuously read to understand it.</span>"

Of course the subject matter is very touching and heartbreaking but it was just lacking that 'WOW' factor for me personally...</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RNOGCFBEM0XLS?ASIN=014242417X	A remarkable love story but flawed	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">SPOILER ALERT<br/><br/>This was a remarkable reading experience for many reasons and the book deserves its accolades for the power of its characterizations, but as a Young Adult Teen fiction author myself, I feel compelled to offer a few words of criticism.<br/><br/>Green's award winning book is about two young teens dying of cancer and yes, as the awards attest, he does manage to avoid most of the cliches and sentimentalities of such works, while creating two of the most original teen voices in contemporary fiction. Yet not entirely. The love story is indeed profoundly moving and the unflinching honesty, even cynicism, with which these young teens face death is truly inspiring in part. Unfortunately, however, religion or spirituality of any kind is relentlessly ridiculed in the novel, and one gets the sense that the author thinks it is 'uber' cool to be so starkly atheistic and despairing, when in fact such a stance is already a bit old fashioned. Nearly every adult in the novel is portrayed as foolish and befuddled by life and of very little help to the young lovers themselves, and that is certainly a standard cliche of young adult fiction. Every representative of a belief in the afterlife is depicted as a self serving delusional fool. Only the teens are clever enough to see through the the ruses and hypocrisies  of adult believers and to face head on the brutal fact that this earth is only a doomed and dying rock spinning around a dying star, and we ourselves are mere molecules doomed for extinction.<br/><br/>This rather traditional teen atheism reminded me of a passage from Graham Greene's The Power and the Glory<a class=""a-link-normal"" href=""/The-Power-and-the-Glory/dp/114217686X"">The Power and the Glory</a>, which was itself published in 1940, at a time when such sentiments were indeed fashionable:<br/><br/>In reference to the Mexican lieutenant, who is doggedly tracking the 'Whiskey Priest' with an eye to arresting him (at a time when being Catholic was a crime punished by death in Mexico), Greene puts these sentiments into the man's mind:<br/><br/>""It infuriated him to think that there were still people in the state who believed in a loving and merciful God. There are mystics who are said to have experienced God directly. He was a mystic, too, and what he had experienced was vacancy- a complete certainty in the existence of a dying, cooling world, of human beings who had evolved from animals for no purpose at all. He knew. ""<br/><br/>The possibility of a spiritual dimension to the human person, a dimension that might be 'eternal' and might transcend the physical limitations of the body, this possibility is not even hinted at within John Green's novel, which I consider quite irresponsible for an author of young adult teen fiction.<br/><br/> Yes, it is refreshing and iconoclastic in a healthy sort of way, to reject all false comforts and escapist dreams, and instead to face heroically the stark truths of human mortality. Yet when dealing with young teens, there should at least be the hint of an alternative viewpoint and the possibility of an argument for a more spiritual vision, even if as an author one does not want to endorse that viewpoint oneself. Fair enough.  But there isn't such an alternative viewpoint in John Green's novel, which makes the hype surrounding this work all the more disturbing. Yes, the love story is very moving, so much so that I mourned for days after the 'death' of one of the principal characters), and mourned more deeply than I can remember ever mourning for a fictional character. It is the great achievement of the book, that the young couple come so alive that one grieves for their passing and feels their terrible loss. But stacking the deck against a spiritual viewpoint mars the book considerably, and in my opinion, places it firmly in the realm of old fashioned, outdated cliche, all comments to the contrary notwithstanding. Teens deserve better than this.<br/><br/>By a synchronistic coincidence, simultaneously with The Fault in Our Stars, I was also reading the remarkable 'near death' memoir by neurosurgeon, Dr. Eben Alexander, <a class=""a-link-normal"" href=""/Proof-of-Heaven-A-Neurosurgeon-s-Journey-into-the-Afterlife/dp/1451695195"">Proof of Heaven: A Neurosurgeon's Journey into the Afterlife</a>.<br/><br/>Dr. Alexander, a brilliant neuro-scientist who  shared the convictions and scientific view of the vast majority of doctors and scientists - that near death experiences, while certainly real enough subjectively for those who passed through them, were also simply nothing more than the final chemical discharges of the brain. It was a prejudice he was to see shattered by his own seven day near death experience.<br/><br/>This book is being lauded as 'the longest near death experience' ever recorded (seven days in a coma), and it is an astonishing, inspiring story, not least for the fact that Dr. Alexander is precisely the sort of scientist who would have endorsed Greene's sentiments above. He had no religious convictions at all prior to his experience and remained convinced - ala the prevailing scientific world view - that when the brain dies, consciousness dies with it. "" Human beings ... had evolved from animals for no purpose at all.""<br/><br/>From Amazon.com's blurb:<br/><br/>""One morning in 2008 he fell into a coma after suffering a rare form of bacterial meningitis. Scans of his brain revealed massive damage. Death was deemed the most likely outcome. As his family prepared themselves for the worst, something miraculous happened. Dr Alexander's brain went from near total inactivity to awakening. He made a full recovery but he was never the same. He woke certain of the infinite reach of the soul, he was certain of a life beyond death.<br/><br/>In this astonishing book, Dr Alexander shares his experience, pieced together from the notes he made as soon as he was able to write again. Unlike other accounts of near-death experiences, he is able to explain in depth why his brain was incapable of fabricating the journey he experienced. His story is one of profound beauty and inspiration.""<br/><br/>Dr. Alexander should not have recovered at all from his coma, let alone a full recovery with all of his mental faculties restored. Medically speaking, his recovery is nothing short of 'miraculous', and he now firmly believes it was for a reason. He feels he has been  called, because of his medical and scientific background and former convictions, to witness to the nature of the Afterlife, a 'reality' which so many of his scientific colleagues firmly refuse to accept.<br/><br/>His account of his spiritual journey into the world of the Spirit beyond death is the most profoundly moving rendition of a NDE I have ever read, and it needs to be read to be experienced, so there is little point in my attempting to summarize it. I cannot recommend the book too highly.<br/><br/>However, two things struck me with particular force about the book. The first is his sensitive account of the thoughts and sentiments expressed by his concerned family members and friends who gathered around his bedside during his coma and who attempted to comfort one another. Alexander gathered these comments together after his recovery and they give a picture of a remarkable community of loving friends struggling through a terribly painful and distressing experience, one which challenges their own faith and convictions. The  comforting, spiritual remarks they make to one another (not always with complete conviction, more out of desperation and hope) are precisely the kinds of comments that John Green ridicules with such sarcasm in The Fault In Our Stars, and reading these accounts simultaneously with Green's novel revealed to me in stark clarity how shallow and contrived Green's writing is in this regard, despite his justly lauded success in characterization. Dr. Alexander's loving community of family and friends seems so psychologically healthy and well balanced and gives one a sense that they reflect the best of human nature during the most trying of times.<br/><br/>The second thing that struck me about the book is that during Dr. Alexander's seven day journey into the afterlife he meets a sister whom he never knew he had (since he was adopted at an early age), but whose existence he discovered when he inquired of his natural birth parents after his full recovery. But...and this is my point, nowhere during his seven day sojourn does he encounter Jesus or any representative member of the Christian faith, despite having attended Episcopal services with his family. He states that the Episcopal Church and its services never resonated within his being, since he did not consider himself a 'man of faith,' and attended more out of familiar bonding. After he returned from his NDE, however, he found he could experience a connection with the same loving Divine Presence of his NDW within the hallowed walls of the Episcopal Church- but still without any explicitly Christian content. He had become a believer in the Divine and the Afterlife, but not in strictly Christian terms. Instead, he saw the Divine expressed in a myriad of forms and traditions throughout human history, and that viewpoint is refreshingly contemporary.<br/><br/>I would certainly highly recommend The Fault in Our Stars to young teen readers, but I would encourage them to also read in conjunction Dr. Eben Alexander's remarkable memoir, because the two books complement one another, and the latter provides balance and perspective missing from the first.</span>"

This book has been hyped up and everyone cannot stop talking about it... I was incredibly disappointed!! The plot was almost nonexistent because of how predictable and boring it was (reminds me of a ""Walk to Remember"" rip off... only much, much worse). Read this book only if you have no imagination!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R103ZM5WLYUE?ASIN=014242417X	Good but very predictable	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Well written but predictable YA novel about death, contextualized by cancer.  Characters are a bit too mature and well balanced for their age and situation, but this may make it a helpful tool for kids going through their own issues.  I would not recommend to people with cancer, as it may hit too closely, but a good read for adjacent issues.</span>"

4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1C7WBO5ET2RLP?ASIN=014242417X	Fatalistic, nihilistic; a crime against life itself!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">As I have no experience with cancer I will not comment on that aspect of the book.<br/><br/>I do, however, have an extensive background in the existentialist philosophical movement from the original trio of Dostoyevsky, Nietzsche, and Kierkegaard, moving into the 20th century with Sartre, Heidegger, Camus, etc. As such, let me be abundantly clear when I say this book does not contain a single thread of existentialist philosophy.<br/><br/>Existentialism is a view on philosophy from the subjective human as the agent of philosophical thinking. It is also a “no excuses” mindset; a person is always 100% responsible for their choices, or absence there-of, and as such, the sole architect of their lives. Consequently it is a celebration of pro-activity and the power of choice in one’s life; anti-fatalism. In addition, overcoming nihilism is part of the project of every existential philosopher.<br/><br/>This book is absolutely fatalistic and concludes with nihilism; as even the title suggests. “The fault in our stars” – this title reeks of fatalist; as it alludes to assigning blame to what one has “written in their stars”. It asserts fate, and then complains about it.<br/><br/>Let us explore this fatalistic theme a little further; take the character of Hazel. There are only a handful of examples of her taking initiative. She is coerced into going to group therapy. She meets Augustus coincidentally. He takes interest in her for no reason. He steers her to go to his house. He chooses the movie. He reads her book, which then triggers him orchestrating the entire enterprise of getting answers about that book. The entire plot is moved forward based on the volition of Augustus while Hazel only plays a passive role to the situation. The only real initiative Hazel seems to take early in the book is to buy the follow ups to Augustus’s action novel series; this however, has no meaningful significance.<br/><br/>One could argue that the existential theme is reflected in Augustus, but let me tell you that he is no existential hero. Augustus, though driven on initiative, is servile throughout the entire novel; like a slave. He denies his own life by adopting a reactive stance to his new master’s desires. He in essence, abandons whatever identity he may have had at this point and becomes an extension, a tool of wish granting for Hazel. The symbolism of his servitude could not be any more apparent than when he uses his wish, a wish bestowed alongside a death sentence, to enact her desire.<br/><br/>Here is the irony; Augustus does in fact have one desire, a desire he expresses, is berated for, and then suppresses culminating in his embrace of nihilism. He wished to leave a mark on life, yet he throws away his wish instead of using it as a tool to leave that mark. Only someone who holds no value in life, humanity itself, would do this.<br/><br/>---<br/><br/>At this very moment is when the nihilistic theme kicks in. It is all meaningless, nothing will be remembered in the future, why bother. This is reinforced by Hazel on several occasions and Augustus buys into it, embracing nihilism, and so throwing away his wish to a petty cause of finding out what happens to some fictional characters in order to appease his master; make a girl happy for 10 minutes.<br/><br/>The full descent into nihilism is finally achieved on the very last pages of the novel in Augustus’ letter to Van Houten:<br/><br/>“You build a hideous minimall or start a coup or try to become a rock star and you think, ‘They’ll remember me now,’ but (a) they don’t remember you, and (b) all you leave behind are more scars. Your coup becomes a dictatorship. Your minimall becomes a lesion.”<br/><br/>I could go through the various contradictions, and general nonsense in this letter, but the overarching theme is the embrace of Nothingness, the ascetic ideal; nihilism.<br/><br/>Nietzsche warns of this in “The Genealogy of Morals” when he says in his final statement of that work:<br/><br/>“It is absolutely impossible to disguise what in point of fact is made clear by every complete will that has taken its direction from the ascetic ideal: this hate of the human, and even more of the animal, and more still of the material, this horror of the senses, of reason itself, this fear of happiness and beauty, this desire to get right away from all illusion, change, growth, death, wishing and even desiring – all this means – let us have the courage to grasp it – a will for Nothingness, a will opposed to life, a repudiation of the most fundamental conditions of life, but it is and remains a will! – and to say at the end that which I said at the beginning – man will wish Nothingness rather than not wish at all. ”<br/><br/>Does Augustus sound like an existential hero to you? - Because he sure does not sound like one to me.<br/><br/>---<br/><br/>Another obvious denial of existential themes can be found on page 111 with the letter to Augustus from Van Houten:<br/>“…and never was Shakespeare more wrong when he had Cassius note, ‘The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars / But in ourselves.’ ”<br/><br/>The irony is that Shakespeare was actually expressing an existential idea; that it is not fate that dictated our lives, but our own choices. Fatalism is affirmed once again as the theme of the book.<br/><br/>---<br/><br/>If John Green had any conception of what existentialism actually is and had read even a single book by someone like Nietzsche he could have produced something other than anti-intellectual garbage.<br/><br/>Just as an example, Nietzsche’s theme of ‘eternal recurrence’. The idea, very briefly goes like this:<br/><br/>(1) Time is infinite<br/>(2) There is a finite amount of matter in the universe<br/><br/>If the above are true, then there are a finite number of combinations of matter and once all combinations are reached, they will begin to repeat. The consequence of this is that this life will occur an infinite number of times; it is not re-incarnation, but an infinite repetition.<br/><br/>How much more appropriate, romantic, and actually philosophical would such a message be?! Yes, Augustus can die, but his short lived love with Hazel will recur an infinite number of times – throughout all eternity.<br/><br/>Nietzsche’s poetic quote about ‘eternal recurrence’ from “Thus Spoke Zarathustra”:<br/><br/>“Oh how should I not lust for eternity and for the wedding ring of rings – the Ring of Recurrence!<br/>Never yet did I find the woman by whom I wanted children, unless it be this woman, whom I love: for I love you, O Eternity!<br/>For I love you, O Eternity!”<br/><br/>Not only this theme overcome nihilism and the general fatalistic theme of this novel, but you have a philosophical ending, and overall a much better, actually thought provoking ending.<br/><br/>---<br/><br/>This novel is a crime against life, existentialism, and humanity; it saddens me how so few people are aware how destructive to one’s life the internalization of the ideas in this book can be – nihilism usually runs hand in hand with suicide – though not a cause, suicide notes always have a nihilistic theme.<br/><br/>There are countless other themes jarringly upsetting about this book; like the absolutely terrible portrayal of men – from Augustus, to Hazel’s father, to Isaac; the shallowness, narcissism, and solipsism of Hazel, to flat out misandry but I don’t think people care much that men are portrayed as disposable tools so I’ll finish my review here.<br/><br/>Hope this review helps.<br/><br/>If you really want a book that will make you think, and shake your core I recommend “The Genealogy of Morals” by Frederick Nietzsche.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R27CAHPV0MYA4J?ASIN=014242417X	Honest and True Emotions	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">True young first love is portrayed by the couple in such purity. How does one love someone knowing that they are dying?  John Green writes so vividly that you as a reader forgets the cancer but rejoices as two people love each other as fully as possible. I could not put the book down until I finished.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R27EKFUVWU7W69?ASIN=014242417X	Why I Read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is why I love to read.  So well written that from the first page you know it will be a tear jerker.  Tragidy is that it ends.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2KFS5RD1TW4SI?ASIN=014242417X	not a YA	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I have not been a YA in a very long time but I began reading books in this genre as a way of screening books that have received good reviews  before suggesting them for my daughter.<br/>Teen fiction seems to be lumped into Teen fiction or YA fiction these days and that is a huge age range.<br/>Anyway, I was first introduced to John Green's work when I read his collaboration in Will Grayson, Will Grayson.I loved that book.<br/> I have since read Looking for Alaska and now The Fault in Our Stars.<br/>When I read the summary for this most recent novel, I wanted to read it but I also didn't want to read it. The idea of it made me anxious.<br/> Once I started, the characters drew me in right away and I couldn't put it down.<br/>If you told me I would laugh out loud occassionaly while reading a book about teens with cancer, I would never have believed it. But John Green took you into the minds of these teens and how they expressed themselves with anger, humor and honesty as they dealt with their conditions; often more realistically than those of us on the outside looking in.<br/>I laughed, I cried, I got pissed and really got thinking about life and loss.<br/>This novel is BRILLIANT!<br/>Augustus and Hazel rock!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1QH56QQ5QL5DX?ASIN=014242417X	Eh..not that great.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I was recommended this book by a co-worker but the only thing that really stood out to me about this book was the ending...literally the last 2 sentences!!  Otherwise, its ehh...kinda cheesy despite the fact that the characters have terminal illnesses. I guess I am just not a fan of teenage love.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R10UREEJ2TFFE9?ASIN=014242417X	This book was recommended to me by a few people	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Dealt with a serious topic but went on and on and said nothing. This book was recommended to me by a few people. Very disappointed.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R23FHY6IZZWXFI?ASIN=014242417X	Good not great	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I thought it was a good read, not a great read. I wanted to see what all the fuss was about so I read it. Perhaps my expectations were too high. It was a well written story of two teenagers with cancer. I hear others trying to make it into an epic love story - sorry but I didn't get that.</span>"
1.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RUQ0UJAX0KU1Y?ASIN=014242417X	didn't live up to the hype	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I read this book because a friend said that if you want a good cry, you should read it. Maybe I'm heartless, but it didn't move me. Maybe because my view on death is different from most. Either way, the writing style was really good and I liked the book, it just wasn't what I expected.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1IH305JF238MW?ASIN=014242417X	Just read it!	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I had no desire to read this book... not because I thought it would be bad, how can you go wrong with John Green? Mainly because I didn't want to put myself through a gut-wretching cancer novel that would make me bawl my eyes out. But after reading reviews, I realized it wasn't a depressing book. (Hazel herself says that cancer books suck.) So I read it, and I did bawl my eyes out... but it was definitely worth it. I started at 11 last night and finished at 5 this morning.<br/><br/>I fell in love with Gus just like Hazel did, ""slowly and then all at once."" The way he talked, the fact that he was pretentious and vain but in the most adorable and hilarious way, the way that he loved Hazel with everything he had.<br/><br/>And Hazel was the perfect sarcastic teenage girl with awesome parents and the best sense of humor about her lungs, and how ""they sucked.""<br/><br/>Maybe I loved it because it's brutally honest, but with just enough humor to ease the pain. Maybe because I wanted to stay in Hazel and Gus's little infinity forever. Or maybe I loved it because it was a fantastic story in every way possible. Whatever the reason, read this book.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2CYPO0YH5EAY?ASIN=014242417X	Well written	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">A very sad account of teens with cancer.  Well written but I would not recommend it to the young adults in my family.  Teens have enough problems without them worrying about living with or getting cancer.  Hazel and Gus helped each other cope.  Sadly cancer took one of their lives.</span>"
1.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3GHGYD6TQHGSS?ASIN=014242417X	Movie was better. And it's basically the book word for word	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Watch the movie. I think the story is better translated through actors in a movie rather than a book. It was too gloomy and negative of a book for me. I didn't get past the first chapter, but I loved the movie. Bring your tissues! And the movie is basically the book word for word.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R12G12C3B6I7W?ASIN=014242417X	Makes you cry but it isn't a good book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Everybody said that it is a good book because it makes you cry. But you also cry when you go to a hospital and see children with terminal diseases and it doesn't make a hospital a peace of art. Reading it makes you cry, but it is poorly written, and the characters are believable.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3PNPJ97STEE9D?ASIN=014242417X	Too sad	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">While I was aware of the subject matter before I purchased it, this book was too heartbreaking for me. It was a quick read but my opinion is that life is sad enough without having to add fictional sadness to the mix.<br/>Those that like angst-filled stories will enjoy this book.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RPHYN42EG3DVP?ASIN=014242417X	what?	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I didn't like it. Not a bit of it. Of course it's only my opinion but the point was moot. It held very little emotion for me, maybe because I didn't ""get it"" but I still don't get it. What's the point of a very sad story with no focus? I wasted my money I do believe.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R7MYADARHYXM7?ASIN=014242417X	Very moving	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is worth reading. I'm 13 and as a young teen I find this book to be a great example of strong literature. It's a heart breaking story of love and fighting for your life and fighting for love. An example that true beauty really does come from with in. FIVE STARS!!</span>"

Going to see movie so I wanted it to be fresh in my mind.  I'm so glad I did!!  I'd forgotten how wonderful, humorous, and sad this story is!  Such a wonderful writer!  Can't wait to see the movie!!</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R21UW08HNZ8HDV?ASIN=014242417X	A very good read	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Really liked the book - it was easy to ""get into"" the characters and there was a good amount of appropriate humor sprinkled through this tragic tale.  I know the target audience was much younger, but as a grandma in her 60's, it was still a good book to read.</span>"

It may be because I am 33 and it is clearly written for Tweens. But after all the talk from young and old alike I thought it would be a book I couldn't put down.

4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2MIJ16REN3IGV?ASIN=014242417X	My mistake....	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Well written.  However, this was another ""ooops"" for me.

2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1GY4ZDM869ITG?ASIN=014242417X	Definitely a YA novel.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This is a charming book, but I certainly wouldn't call it complex. It's almost as if the narrator is trying too hard?  Or perhaps I am just over teenage snark as a way to express intelligence. It was a cute read--even if it was about young people with cancer.</span>"

I wanted to stop multiple times, but forged on, hoping it would get better. It didn't.<br/><br/>Basically it's a revamp of A Walk to Remember, with less Mandy Moore and more deadly disease.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2S4ZC1JCVZRV3?ASIN=014242417X	Delicious	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Run, do not walk, and buy this book!!  Its topic sounds gruesome and negative and downright depressing.  But for those of us who have known this life, it is an affirmation of all you think you knew and all you wished you could have said to your loved one.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RK5H40UI0OAGY?ASIN=014242417X	We all have faults **NO SPOILERS**	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault In Our Stars is an amazing book that shows how everyone can overcome their faults and learn from one another. The protagonists are two teenagers who have terminal cancer, although are kept alive by the treatments they are being given. There names are Augustus Waters and Hazel Grace. They meet in a cancer AA type group and become very close friends, learning of each others illness, struggles, aspirations and finding a common median that comes from a book.<br/><br/>Both of them are extremely touched by this book, however the story and meaning of it ends abruptly prompting them to search for the author. They find the author who lives in Amsterdam and through miraculous events are able to meet him, craving for the ending and meaning of his book.<br/><br/>This book is MORE than a ""what the meaning of life is."" It shows how all of us have faults and nobody is perfect. Maybe, just maybe our faults are predetermined in the stars and its how we learn to live with them, rather than change them is what makes us who we are.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R3NL7AIAY01X99?ASIN=014242417X	Great writing	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">One of the best written, but saddest, books I've ever read. Loved Green's framing of Hazel's father.  He was so compassionate, yet macho. The whole story is a tear jerker about teens,  in love, in true love, fighting life threatening stuff. Cool beans!</span>"

If I was a teenager i might have enjoyed it a little more. On the other hand i do not feel that the characters had realistic dialog and the story was not particularly captivating.</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R188UGFXZ3O06V?ASIN=014242417X	There are faults in our stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">A very sweet novel about the ugly truth about life and dead, no sugar coating; Just plain sincerity and love.

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">You know, it's that awkward moment when you haven't read a book but you know that it's going to be amazing just because of the author. That's what I feel about John's books. When i first became a Nerdfighter i was like, 'ok so this dude also writes books apparently', I remember waiting a bit, watching the videos of the vlogbrothers to get an idea of the kind of man he is, and then he talked about Esther Earl and This Star Won't Go Out Fundation; well, that day, I got my mother in the deskroom and made her buy: Will Grayson, Will Grayson, Paper Towns, Looking For Alaska and An Abundance of Katherines. I had never heard of these books, or read a summary, but somehow i knew, I felt that i would love them; and man i DID love them. So when he announced that a new book was about to be published i didn't hesitate and pre-ordered it without knowing the plot. For a few reasons I didn't get my copy and had to order another one; I haven't read the book yet, but i do know that i will love it.</span>"

Characters are interesting and there is definite chemistry between them that keeps you intrigued. Was a little predictable,  but most live stories about sick people are.

4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RII0HFIBUV7UN?ASIN=014242417X	Too Depressing for Me	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was way too depressing for me.  It's well written and the story is touching, but the overall story is way too sad and I couldn't wait to be done with it.  I've had several family members die of cancer, so it hit too close to home.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2MYASO8YY1K4Z?ASIN=014242417X	I think you should get this book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The Fault in our Stars is about a terminally ill cancer patient named Hazel Grace, who is only sixteen years old. After meeting a boy named Augustus who is in remission, she learns to look at life and her situation, in a whole new way. I thought that the characters started off weak, but a few chapters in, I quickly became attached. The story is strong, and will leave you thinking about it hours after you finish.  This book will make you go through more emotions than you ever would watching ""The Notebook"". John did a fantastic job in writing the book and I personally couldn't keep my hands off it, and read it in one sitting (Which is a difficult thing for a book to make me do). I would recommend this for anyone who loves a book that will make you laugh, and then a couple chapters later, leave you sobbing. Everyone I know has given this book a great review, and has started reading John Greens other novels. I hope you choose this book because you will not regret it.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R28CT6Z4F741AN?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault In Our Stars	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book is depressing. It made me shake with tears at the end. But there are earlier moments of the story when you can't help but giggle out loud. Just don't be in a public place like I was-my parents were looking at me strange when I spontaniously burst out laughing. The characters really sound like teens, no joke. And the love story is so cute. I didn't like how she thought so negativly-definatly not a repeat read for a while because I'll start talking/thinking like a depresed 40 year old, menopauseal woman. I didn't like the ending because 1-we all hated it, lets be honest. And 2-it didn't end @ Gus's death...it went on. I was like ""WTF why doesn't it end at the sad part like a Nickolas Sparks book."" I say that because everything after the death made me start balling. The death itself wasn't sad- but that dang reflection killed me. Also, your sad because the voice in your head knows she's gonna die soon too. Bt I still liked it. Buy and enjoy:)</span>"

This one seemed fair  enough judging by the description  and the first chapter, so I got it and read it. It took me about five hours to finish, and I cried like an absolute baby. It was so nicely written that I literally would sometimes set the book down and ponder a sentence or two. There's lots of humor and tiny romantic moments, but it kept me interested the whole time  I  read it. This is my new favorite book (It beat out Twilight- my favorite books as of four years), and I've already lent it to a friend who said she loved it too. I would recommend this to anybody who wants an amazing book to curl up with on a rainy day; I just advise that you don't read it in public or in front of family!</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I knew from other reviews that this was going to be a sad story.  After all, it is the story of Hazel Grace and Agustus, two teenagers that have cancer. Although I knew it was going to be sad, I did not stop to think that it would teach me some new things about life.  Their story will give you a very clear picture of what it must be like for families with a loved one suffering from cancer.  It is even more tragic when that person is young and in love and should be enjoying life to the fullest. There were times when this story just seemed too real and I could not control my sobs, so make sure that you keep those kleenex handy.  I think that John Green did a wonderful job witing this book.  Even though it is a work of fiction, it did not feel like fiction, in fact it might have just seemed too real.<br/><br/>Full review at [...]</span>"

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I have spent the last year going through cancer treatments and I wasn't sure I wanted to read this book. I finally gave in and found the story to be spot on and a wonderful read!</span>"
3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R15CGA006DHSWP?ASIN=014242417X	Heartbreaking	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">*Fellow Nerdfighters, please read comments attached to this review as a wonderful and unexpected conversation is unfolding. Cheers, T.W. Williams.<br/><br/>John Green's new book, The Fault in Our Stars, is flawed from start to finish. To begin with, it is about two young people with cancer. If you write a book about two young people with cancer, you have to write a book so good that it never relies on the reader's sympathy and compassion to excuse otherwise mediocre writing. In this he fails. The main characters are just too quick, too deep, too intellectual, and honestly, too John Green. It reminds me of watching new Woody Allen movies and seeing Allen's worn out old rants coming out of a new young actor's mouth. John Green's characters are starting to do this same disembodied authorial ventriloquism.<br/>Now maybe this doesn't sound so bad. I mean characters that you can sympathize with that just happen to be as quick and snarky as a wildly famous, uber intelligent, thirty-four-year-old author sounds like a good time in the YA reading room. This is what Green usually does, and he does it well I might add. But this time it isn't enough to overcome the seemingly endless scenes where he gives play-by-play accounts of high body count, commando video games (Yes, John. I get the metaphor. But you once said that we don't need to intellectually grasp the best metaphors in order for them to work on us emotionally. I believe that wholeheartedly--Hell, I teach it to my students. Unfortunately, the video game metaphor in this book only works intellectually. Meaningful metaphors have to work seamlessly and emotionally for the reader during the act of reading, and after our emotions are stirred, we can go back and intellectually discover why.) To make matters worse, the author in the book that the main characters are trying to contact is the oddest mixture of trite, unbelievable, and phantasm. This poorly developed character randomly pops up in the latter half of the novel like a whack-a-mole. Toward the end, I was desperately seeking out the rubber mallet to bash him with.<br/>Finally, there are the painfully stereotypical liberal-arts-education allusions. John Green has always been an allusionist. He used Marquez and Wilde references to great effect in Looking for Alaska. He gave a nice little nod to Woody Guthrie in Paper Towns, but this time around Green goes shopping for his allusions out of the state college 101 offerings. One ""The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock""--check. One Maslow's ""Hierarchy of Needs""--check. The entirety of ""The Red Wheelbarrow""--check. Let's see. What am I forgetting? Well, I better throw in a can of ""Leaves of Grass"" for good measure. These are all interesting and wonderful things, but hauling them out a bit early and out of context for the teenage set irks me. It feels like Green is just trying to impress the natives with the mundane miracles from his own world.<br/>Perhaps the problem is that John's books are venturing away from his childhood experiences, and since we are the same age, my childhood experiences, and starting to more accurately reflect the experiences of today's adolescents. Maybe I need a little nostalgia in my YA fiction, and maybe I'm just being a crank. What I do know is that I was eagerly awaiting John Green's new book, and I was heartbroken when I read it, not because of the kids with cancer, because of the great author who hides behind them.</span>"

It's amazing in so many ways--there are surprises and many touching and profound moments offered. At the same time, however, it's an easy read and very entertaining.<br/><br/>If you ever listened to the author speak (search John Green on youtube for his Crash Course in World History), you'll understand the wealth of information you'll be delving into -- I'm not talking the subject matter, but rather the depth and breadth of knowledge, and the true voice in which he writes.<br/><br/>Highly recommended, and I have since bought other books by the same author.</span>"

It is the story about two teens with cancer and how that fact affects them, their families, and their friends.  It tackles some of life's biggest questions: what it means to live and to love; what constitutes a valuable life; what constitutes a ""good"" death; and inevitably, what is the meaning of life.

Katylin was too pretentious. Besides that I liked the characters. I was annoyed by the 'philosophies' and big language like other reviewers because seriously what teen talks like that? Other than these things I was adoring this book. Adoring it. Until... (SPOILER):<br/>What kind of a jackass tells you he is officially going to die soon only after he has had sex with you??? The fact that Hazel didn't slap Gus and curse him makes me think that Green has little respect for women or is too stupid to realize that they are not going to be ok with someone 'being in love' with them, having sex and only then saying 'Oh by the way I'm going to die, I know you love me but have a nice life! And now I will actually light one of these cigarettes.' Hazel did love him I believe but she was not angry in the slightest for what I saw was a guy seducing a girl into having feelings for him so that he could have a 'last lay!' I believe any woman would have been furious and would have seen through his 'love.' I myself am thoroughly furious by this complete lack of respect for love.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1XC8HBWOSH9VY?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in Or Stars Review. Might be Slightly Controversial. You've been Warned.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I must begin this by saying that although I've been a massive Vlogbrother fan for over a year, this is my first John Green book. So going into it I was super excited, and also a little nervous, I was afraid I wouldn't like it and it would completely tarnish my Vlogbrother love.<br/>And well...<br/>I still don't quite know what I think.<br/>There were some aspects of the book that I just adored. Flat out- ADORED. Let me tell you, flailing doesn't even begin the cover it. I might not have been literally rolling on the floor (hehe literally joke) but I was convulsing in my chair with laughter.<br/>My family thought I was going insane. I have no regrets.<br/><br/>Favorite aspect of TFiOS: The writing.<br/>John Green might not appreciate this, but I think he might have just killed my ""Hey, maybe I could be a writer!"" dream. I will never be able to write like that.<br/><br/>And I'm okay with that. Because John seems to have writing beautiful funny books pretty much in the bag. I read TFiOS slowly, over a week. I'd read something really deep and wonderful and then I'd walk away and have to think about it for a while, and then I'd come back for some more amazingness. He proves that one doesn't have to be wordy to make a point. I don't know how a man in his 30's knows so much about understanding teenagers so well, but somehow he does. Hazel and Gus... they were just so... right. I loved them both. I loved that Hazel was a sweet normal person without being annoyingly perfect or on the flip side dull and boring. Please do not get me started on Gus. Because he was adorable. Yes, I just called a man who smoke (metaphor or not I find smoking to be highly unattractive) adorable. He was just that amazing. I would also like to start a fan club for Hazel's parents, mostly because... well... THEY WERE AMAZING.<br/><br/>Basically I loved them all.<br/><br/>Something that really struck me about TFiOS as a whole was that it reminded me of the first ""real"" book I ever read (I remember like it was yesterday) It was a chapter book told from the perspective of a dog named Spunky, it was a pretty normal story-about-a-dog chapter book except for the one thing. Spunky's little girl died of cancer. And it was the first time in my short life I'd really had to think about cancer and death.<br/><br/>I remember balling my eyes out. I couldn't have been more than 8 years old. TFiOS reminded me of the feeling I had when I read my first good book. Those feelings were new, different, and they came from a place I didn't previously know existed.<br/><br/>That is what The Fault in Our Stars did to me.<br/><br/>And it was beautiful.<br/><br/>Now that I've ranted and raved just like all the other nerdfighters and  everyone else out there who's intelligent enough to see a great book when it's literally right under their nose. (Well I suppose it could be literally over their nose too if it was held right...) I must admit I have a couple of things that... irked me about the book. And in my effort to strive to be a unbiased reviewer I shall share with you what exactly those irkings are. Most of these are things that personally bug me, and I'm well aware of the fact that I'm in the minority here. Most of the them have to do with the end of the book so...<br/><br/>(Note: There's another spoilers free section at the end)<br/><br/>***SPOILERS PROCEED NO FURTHER***<br/><br/>***UNLESS YOU HAVE READ TFIOS ALREADY THEN GO AHEAD AND READ***<br/><br/>***OTHERWISE CEASE AND DESIST***<br/><br/>Unfortunately there's an aspect of TFiOS that I found... well... unfortunate. And it's not something that's limited just to this particular book, but teen literature in general. I feel like authors feel the need to add corpus amounts of language and sex into teen books in order to be ""real"". Now I know a lot of people out there are just fine with swearing and premarital sex and that it's part of their everyday lives, and call me old fashioned, call me a prude, but I just can't condone it.<br/><br/>I was fine with most of the ""content"" in TFiOS. I was relieved that there wasn't too much explicitness and that the S-words were used sparingly.  But then when I happened upon the one F bomb I was shocked. Although I acknowledge the fact that if anyone has a ""right"" to swear, it was Gus, I was still  disappointed.<br/><br/>You have to understand this from my perspective: I work in the children's department of a library. I have 13 year old's who ask me for book recommendations. I sincerely wish I could pick TFiOS off the shelve and give it to them and tell them that THAT is what amazing writing looks like.<br/><br/>But... I can't.<br/><br/>I know that John's not writing these for 13 year olds, but here I am, almost 21, and I still don't want to subject myself to harsh profanity. Can't we just have good books without going through all that?<br/><br/>It would just be nice... that's all.<br/><br/>Okay personal rant now done, on to plot annoyances:<br/><br/>1)I knew Gus was going to die. I'm sorry, but the moment they mentioned how ""healthy"" he was I knew right then and there he was the one with the death that was going to pull my heart out of my chest and stomp it to pieces and then expect me to go on living life. It was a matter of simple deduction: You can't kill the protagonist. John Green may be an artist, but he's also a best selling author, Peter Van Houten was not one, so he can end his novels horribly like that, John can't. It's the cost of fame. Also: It's a cancer book, if no one died it wouldn't be realistic. I'm not being callous, I'm being realistic. Cancer is just a way of speeding up our eventually demise. Someone had to die.<br/><br/>2) You know the big twist in the end, when Hazel finally realized the reason Peter Van Houten is the way he is? I had been begging Hazel for chapters to realize that and I found it slightly unrealitic that she never, after years of going on and on about how he so perfectly knew what it was like and dozens of re-readings she never once thought ""Oh he probably knew some one with cancer!"" Never? Really?<br/><br/>***END OF SPOILERS***<br/><br/>***YOU CAN START READING AGAIN***<br/><br/>*** RIGHT ABOUT... NOW***<br/><br/>A lot has happened to me since I was 8 years old, the first time I smudged ink on a book page because it felt like someone I personally knew and loved was gone and I'd never see them again.<br/><br/>I've had to watch family members be lowered into graves, and watch their loved one's curse the day when the autopsy came  back positive. I've shared tears of joy with others when the scans come back clear, and they're given a new lease on life. I've seen a mother's drawn, tired face crumble when she learns that her little girl's worst enemy is back again... for the third time.<br/><br/>Although reading the The Fault in Our Stars did dredge up all these hurts and feelings from some of the worst parts of my life, strangely enough it didn't depress me. It more made me sad in a ""It's like happy for deep people"" way. I was happy that I felt I understood more what these people go through, I felt like maybe I could be more understanding, a better help, that I'd knew now how to pray for them.<br/><br/>And I consider that a priceless gift.<br/><br/>Thank you Mr. Green.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2IEPYP5IZFQBD?ASIN=014242417X	Fell Flat	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">This book was not even a solid 3 for me.  I would say a bit below average and way over-hyped.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1RYGDGVNNZ4I?ASIN=014242417X	A mediocre pretentious cancer book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I feel that anything negative said about this book gets shoved under the whole “well they have cancer so it’s got to be depressing and heart-felt!” and that’s just not the case. To me it takes more than setting the novel around cancer (but it’s not actually a cancer book like all other books set around cancer are, no way, this one is unique and special and should be showered in praise) to actually make it sad and I think this comes down to the tone of the story and that if this book had one problem, it would be the tone. Whatever profundity the book has gets torn up between the ‘kooky quirkiness’ of the characters, ‘deep intellectual meaning’ and ‘depressing cancer story.’ If I had the call this book anything it would be pretentious. The most nagging part was the deep intellectual meaning that Hazel and Gus were trying to push in the readers face and could have been done without abusing a thesaurus. I speculate if you supplement lengthy words to a notion it instantaneously converts to something profounder, correct? It’s not a mark of intelligence that a sixteen-year-old uses such language but somehow Hazel and Gus get credited for it. And it mixes horribly with the text speak and slang they use alongside it, if the same person uses the word “hamartia” and “douchepants” then I’m going to assume they're showing off. Oh but who cares, it’s so deep and artsy anyway. Oh look, script format. This book is so cutting-edge, it’s not jarring in the slightest.<br/><br/>Another part is that the teenager characters all seem to have some rather brattish characterises. The cancer’s there, but it doesn’t really affect anything until the middle. Hazel gets out of breathe, needs to carry an air tank around (oh, she called it Phillip, isn’t she so original and quirky?!) and has puffy cheeks. They behave like a strange mash-up of all the teenager girls Green’s encouraged on Tumblr but not like actual human beings outside of the internet. It starts with Hazel being condescending to the guy who runs the support group (a minimum wage worker who has no friends, only one ball and runs a cancer support group? Might as well be dead) which spreads out to other people she meets as well. You don’t understand what they say? Feel something she doesn’t? Haven’t read the same books? Don’t get their metaphors? Well then you’re not as intelligent as them. Hazel spends most of her time wanking about how intelligent or thought-provoking she or Gus are and much better they are then the sheeple who can through life without reflecting on a cancer book that is no way a cancer book. It’s just a book about cancer. Kind of like this one. Going to Disneyland when you think you’ve got months left to live? Cold, fake and plastic. Spending a chapter discussing how eggs should be eaten throughout the day and not just at breakfast? Inspiring and quirky (and so stupid.) Viewing a museum gallery online? So deep (the rest of this is drowned out by art students across the world laughing).<br/><br/>The pacing is all over the place, at the beginning it’s a step-by-step of Hazel and Gus’s relationship with sub-plots stringing it together which makes the story very disjointed and unbalanced. The few characters we interact with have a far more believable relationship than our protagonists with no cheesy metaphors about death and long speeches about said metaphors, just a guy and a girl to which the strain of cancer torn them apart. Hazel’s entire character started and ended with “cancer angst” and it felt too much like it was the make the book seem edgier.<br/><br/>This is a YA novel without a glorified abusive relationship and/or supernatural creatures, but that in no way makes the novel itself a decent one. This is a mediocre romantic novel, the cancer aspect has very little to do with that. For a book that supposedly saved the Young Adult genre it was still full of the purple prose, Better Than Thou, special snowflake protagonists which plague it.</span>"

3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2F064N0LZPAAP?ASIN=014242417X	The problem with Cancer Books	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">While reading The Fault in Our Stars, I was suddenly struck with the thought that I knew why John Green wrote this book. It's an arrogant assumption, but the more I read, the more my reasoning was confirmed.<br/><br/>Mr. Green wants to make sense of cancer.<br/><br/>On the surface, that's a lofty goal and a pretty common one. Cancer is synonymous with senseless, random suffering, and coming to grips with that is almost impossible. Presumably fueled by good intentions, Mr. Green wrote a novel about two teenagers, both stricken by cancer, in love.<br/><br/>Don't get me wrong. The narrator Hazel is charming and clever. Her romantic interest Augustus is funny, vivid and attractive. Their relationship is suitably quirky, conducted amidst skeleton art pieces and romantic Dutch restaurants. There's lip service paid to the joys of reading and the fallibility of authors. They speak in beautiful sentences that would look good cross-stitched on cushions (like those dreaded Encouragements that Augusus' s mom has all over the house). When tragedy comes, as it inevitably does in John Green novels, there's a build-up and a resolution, a sense that the world can Learn Something from the life and death of a young person.<br/><br/>All the while, every one of the characters protests that there is nothing neat or redeeming to be found in cancer, all textual evidence notwithstanding.<br/><br/>And this is where Mr. Green's internal conflict shines through. He wants to write an honest book about cancer, but he pulls himself back because that much honesty hurts. He can't let his protagonists be anything but flawless because it's too unjust to have a broken cancer sufferer. The protagonists' parents cry, but they don't get angry or divorced because it's cruel to admit that this is the reality many families face. Everyone can pay their hospital bills. Nobody suffers from depression or other associated mental illnesses. Giving up isn't discussed. Heck, even the Dutch occupants of Amsterdam, coming home from work or otherwise enjoying their evening, take time out of their busy day to tell Hazel and Augustus how beautiful they look as a couple.<br/><br/>Worst of all, when there is death, it is accompanied by Life Lessons that leave the protagonist wiser and confirm her worldview. (Which, to my mind, is the worst kind of authorial indulgence, coming from a man who previously said that pain doesn't improve the quality of joy, just as the existence of broccoli doesn't change the taste of chocolate.)<br/><br/>I'm sorry about my upcoming harshness, but it must be said: this book is dishonest. It manipulates the reader's emotions in the most blatant way and crafts characters who are charming but not even close to real. It uses cancer as a gimmick to sell philosophizing teens, and that angers me.<br/><br/>In short, my two star rating isn't provoked by poor writing or a mediocre plot; you will not find either of these things in The Fault in Our Stars. Instead, I don't think an author should be commended for using cancer as a sucker-punch to the emotional gut or a way of making a romance look poignant. It takes a brave writer to create characters who are human, flawed, and hurt and to say through his/her writing that it's okay to be shattered by a disease that is in the business of shattering people.<br/><br/>I'm sorry that I thought John Green was that author.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RCOQKCO8F4119?ASIN=014242417X	Great beginning but the ending felt like he just gave up.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">It started off well. I was pleasantly surprised to see the quality of writing was high for a young adult book.  It is refreshing to think that maybe young adults could learn a thing or two from such a popular book. And let's be honest, I was just happy there weren't any sparkly vampires. There were even some really good quotes that I added to my collection from other great writers. However the ending was a rather large let down.  It wasn't a horrible ending, though it tried to be unpredictable it wasn't Sixth Sense unpredictable (though a book about children with cancer, you aren't really expecting it to be I suppose).  So I was trying to place my finger on why I disliked the books ending and I was having the hardest time.  Then it hit me, I had such expectations of this amazing ending (and I dont mean a happily ever after ending, just good in a literary sense) but it was a serious let down.  By the end I was just like ""meh"" and moved on with my life.  I was expecting a life altering ending and all I got was blah.  I guess I expected too much and shouldn't have been lead astray by all the hype.  Live and learn I guess.</span>"

I admit I read it in it's entirety in a day, it was an easy and somewhat ""engaging"" read based on the plot.  However, I found the characters so...unrealistic.  It was very difficult to connect to these characters.  More importantly, knowing this was YA readng material, I was extremely repulsed by the sexuality within this novel. I mean, teenage girls are the target audience here, and this book fully condones premarital sex and actually glorifies it.  I particularly recall discussions of sex and ""riding him all night"" or something to that effect. This book just left a bad taste in my mouth and didn't sit well with me.  Aside from the in-your-face-sex, I just didn't find anything ""believable"" about the characters. The long sappy drawn out rambling self- reflections of these characters were so incredibly over the top. All of it. I just didn't connect.</span>"

2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R34UXP4UEYBUOT?ASIN=014242417X	Bleak outlook, bad language, & teen sex	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I finally got around to reading this last night. What a bleak outlook on life and eternity!<br/><br/>The story is engaging and terminal cancer patients do tug at ones heart strings; I never even came close to crying though. The writing and vocabulary is at a middle/high school level but the author throws in obscure words (hamartia for one, but its explained) and doesn’t ever talk down to his audience. I think that’s perhaps why so many YAs love this book. The author deals with big issues but with candor and grittiness but also lighten things up with laugh out loud wittiness.<br/><br/>But boy do those kids need their mouths washed with soap. I don’t think I’ve ever read a book with so much bad language. Which is a sad reflection on American society because I highly suspect that’s how a lot of teens talk. Though I highly doubt that even a small fraction could use the college and graduate level vocabulary Augustus and Hazel use and launch into very prosaic and philosophical monologues they way they do, especially if they aren’t widely and well read individuals just as these two aren’t.<br/><br/>**Spoiler alert – not really, you probably heard by now** Augustus and Hazel have sex. Just a short time after their first kiss. Which is another sad reflection on American society. Why is it assumed that having sex is the only way to prove/show how in love or committed a couple is? That’s baloney! Especially if the couple is in high school. God has good reasons for forbidding sex outside of marriage.<br/><br/>Brains are amazing organs and one of the neurochemicals it releases during sex is dopamine which makes you feel good, it creates an addiction to that feeling. To use Dannah Gresh’s words from her book What are you Waiting for? The one thing no one ever tells you about sex:<br/>Dopamine emotionally “attaches” you to the source of pleasure – even if that source is “just a friend.” … The limbic system was created to store sexual memory and emotion for us. A little walnut-sized mass called the thalamus…is the seat of our romantic “heart.” The purpose of the limbic system and dopamine is to turn the visceral drives of passion into a deep, lasting attachment – into knowing and being known. But when this gets misused, our system becomes confused and we feel great pain. (p.42)<br/><br/>Out of the 33,000+ reviews here on Amazon only 104 mention that the teens (who are underage by the way) have sex. (As of when I wrote this.) And well over half of those were 4 or 5 star reviews. Also Hazel’s friend Kaitlyn says some very crude things when she finds out Augustus and Hazel are (semi) dating.<br/><br/>Parents &amp; teachers read this if you’ve got YAs in your life that love it (or will read it) and if you need to keep up with pop culture, otherwise don’t bother.</span>"
5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RU0EIUI57GZOU?ASIN=014242417X	Not the genre-breaker it's billed as	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">The young adult genre of literature has undergone a redefinition in the past decade or so. These days if you don't have a dragon, vampire, or dystopian fight to the death, you're not YA. But people forget that Catcher in the Rye was YA, as was To Kill a Mockingbird, Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn. The Fault in Our Stars is traditional YA, which simultaneously makes it difficult for an adult to classify as well as critique because the competition (the greatest works of our literary tradition) is so fierce.<br/><br/>I was not impressed with the first half of the novel, so if you find yourself with one of those reviewers who only read the first 100 pages or so of any book their impression may be skewed. Picture Dawson's Creek but instead of Dawson and Joey just being cancerous, they actually have cancer. Hazel and Augustus meet in a support group. Augustus is in remission after losing half a leg to osteosarcoma while Hazel - though not officially in remission - has beaten lung cancer for years longer than expected due to a ""miracle"" drug, though at the cost of having to wheel an oxygen tank around wherever she goes.<br/><br/>They are predictably falling for each other even though Hazel is playing hard to get (remember Joey in the first season and a half of Dawson's?), trying to minimize the collateral damage her eventual death will cause. She already worries that her death will bring the end of her parents, through either divorce or worse, and this is one of the only redeeming qualities to our narrator in the early parts of the book. Augustus eventually whittles her down thanks to a shared interest in an esoteric novel and a sentimental, frankly unnecessary journey to Amsterdam to meet the book's author and get some answers to the fictitious novel's abrupt ending. Circumstances force Hazel and Augustus to group up from their snarky selves in the second half while the book comes to its inevitable but moving conclusion. The typical reader will love Augustus throughout, but your patience with Hazel nearly runs out before she redeems herself at the end. Unfortunately, you're stuck with her as your narrator through the entire course of the book.<br/><br/>Stars is the best-reviewed book of 2012 so far. The author, John Green, has a rabid online fanbase and they have predictably flooded Amazon with positive reviews, but the New York Times and your other ""old reliables"" also found themselves tripping over their tongues with praise. It's not a bad book and I would actually love to use it in the classroom one day. The prose, especially the vocabulary, is quite advanced and most teenage readers would find it challenging. I feel the buzz it is receiving as a genre-breaker is unwarranted, though. Maybe it just can't compete with the books it's being compared to. Maybe after the string of books I've been going through recently, my tastes have become more discerning. But to me, this is one young adult book best left to the young adults. They will appreciate it more.<br/><br/>[...]</span>"
1.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R14ODYJ1VW06QZ?ASIN=014242417X	Just Plain stupid	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">this book doesnt even deserve a star. first of all, the fact that teenagd girls are gettibg obsessed with books kind if bothers me. girls are typically liking music, not a bunch of stupid pieces of paper about a completely and totally fake love story. this book does not deserve popularity or a movie. the teenagers with actual cancer who are actual people deserve to be noticed. anyone ever hear of talia? she is the true person people should start liking. she showed hope and perseverance when things didnt look good. all this book did was make tenage girls feel like complete loners because no one Augustus waters will ever be part of their life. so listen up all of  the people who actually liked this book (i hhonestly have no idea why you would) DO NOT OBSESS OVER  BOOK. ITS  STUPID BUNDLE  OF PAPERS . YOU WILL NEVER EVER MEET ANYONE LIKE AUGUSTUS WATERS SO GET IT OUT OF YOUR MIND. all i have to say that society sucks.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RG960HZD29REA?ASIN=014242417X	The fault in writing as a female protagonist	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Nine pages in, I knew John Green couldn't write himself into every pseudointellectual, quirky/cool male character without creating a female protagonist who thought like every high school girl who rejected him.<br/><br/>When Augustus intensely watches her from the moment she enters support group, Hazel explains: ""Look, let me just say it: He was hot. A nonhot boy stares at you relentlessly and it is, at best, awkward and, at worst, a form of assault. But a hot boy...well.""<br/><br/>This shallow backlash myth circulates every time a woman tries to clarify how inappropriate attention, like catcalling or pursuit by someone you've turned down, doesn't feel flattering. Even young women like Hazel know the potential of assault enough not to trivialize an annoyance like staring.<br/><br/>John also doesn't understand how female friends work either. Almost all the dialogue from Kaitlyn is ridiculous, exaggerated like the other characters but vacuous commentary on shoes and boys the way popular media imagines all teenage girls having no inner life. She turns serious only to ask about Augustus. If she and Hazel never visited the mall, their friendship wouldn't have passed the Bechdel test. (Does the work of fiction feature at least two women who talk to each other about something other than a man?)<br/><br/>An unreliable narrator can only take so much blame, John Green. I read TFIOS wanting to like it, having enjoyed his other books and been angsty and pretentious myself in adolescent courtship. But I didn't need obvious (and obnoxious) metaphorical resonances explained each time, a Mary Sue lead, or the self-congratulatory streak against other fictional cancer books.</span>"

The reason for the 2 stars is tell me WHY there needs to be physical sexual conversations and actions taking place????.  WHAT does it REALLY lend to the story.  I'll answer that, nothing!  Taking a warm story about two YA with health issues and that they can find some friendship through all this.  That's great!  But to throw in sexual needs on page 18-19; totally unnecessary.  I will not be purchasing this book for YA to read.  It's sad that some authors of books for today's Youth feels the need to throw in sexual descriptions.  There is no need nor place on my book shelves for this trash.  VERY, VERY disappointing.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R173Z9FF9IKJYU?ASIN=014242417X	A Good Book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">My friends insisted that I read ""The Fault in Our Stars"". ""It's a teen book but still deep."" These rumors are true. However my friends also gave me a 100% guarantee that this book would change my life. While this may be true for some, it wasn't for me and here's why.<br/><br/>The fault In Our Stars deals with the issues of mortality in the eyes of a cancer ridden teenage girl. John Green does a great job of accurately portraying teen angst, and even what a girl generally thinks. The book shows loving parents, disease, life, love, death and how the characters deal with it all. It was well done.<br/>However the other half of the book consisted of romance. The two main characters were bonded through simply spending time together, and their love of a book. Overall I felt their relationship needed more development. If they had not had cancer and fear of death, their relationship might not have been as strong. Some may say that is the point. But because of that I personally was not interested in the characters falling in love or not. Since their romance is a good chunk of the book, I had trouble being fully interested.</span>"

3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R354FKX2E5Z3RG?ASIN=014242417X	TFiOS - Review	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">******SPOILER ALERT**<br/><br/>This book. OH MY STARS. (see what I did there?)<br/>This book is amazing, intellectual, hysterical, heart-breaking, real... and I could go on.<br/><br/>Because of her cancer, Hazel lives pretty much solely in the world of books and television. She's incredibly smart and funny but doesn't really have any friends anymore. In an effort to get her to make some, Hazel's mother forces her to go to what is probably the most depressing support group in existence. There, she almost kinda sorta becomes friends with a boy named Isaac.<br/><br/>One time, Isaac brings his friend Augustus Waters and that's pretty much all it takes to get this story going. Augustus is attracted to Hazel for her mind. Because she's really smart, remember? He's the bold, upfront, tell-it-like-it-is, kind of guy. After about a page or so of witty banter, he invites her to his house. They become friends instantly, bonding over a book.<br/><br/>This book kinda becomes a mini theme inside The Fault in Our Stars. It's so closely related to the original story that you have to wonder if sometimes Hazel doesn't forget it's not part of her own life.<br/><br/>Through the local ""make-a-wish"" foundation, the Genie Foundation, Augustus qualifies for a wish. His wish takes him and Hazel across the world to Amsterdam to meet the author of the book. They have questions, ones that only he can answer. But he refuses. Now what?<br/><br/>To Hazel, it appears that her stars just aren't lining up.<br/>The book takes a dramatic turn for the worse and she begins to wonder if maybe life isn't about being noticed by the universe, maybe life is about noticing the universe.<br/><br/>Everyone told me that I would cry my eyes out during this book. Which was probably totally accurate because I cry over virtually everything.<br/>Needless to say, I didn't cry. I came close though. Several times.<br/>The characters had a way of turning their crap luck into a humorous occasion. The way they dealt with the pain was by making jokes. And they were funny as heck. So just like them, I was saved from crying by the humor.<br/><br/>Really though, this story is tragically heart-breaking.<br/>The moral: despite the fact that all these children get to make their final wish through the Genie Foundation, they all have to come to terms with the fact that life isn't fair and the world isn't a wish-granting factory.<br/><br/>This is the kind of book you'll probably need a dictionary next to you while you read, but it's 1000% worth it. I recommend it so much.<br/>Not my favorite book of all time, but one I'm so, so glad I own. This was a 4/5 book for me.<br/><br/>""Men, at some time, are masters of their fates. The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves, that we are underlings.""<br/>Julius Caesar<br/>Act I, Scene II.</span>"
4.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R26757U7B3LJXO?ASIN=014242417X	John Green shows real growth as an author.  His best book to date.	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Spoilers below.<br/><br/>In my favorite scene in this novel, the narrator, a sixteen year old cancer patient named Hazel, reflects on why she did not want to kiss her love interest, Augustus Waters.  She can't make sense of it--he prepared an over-the-top, Netherlands-themed picnic for her.  He memorized a monologue in which he proposed a trip to Amsterdam to meet her favorite author.  He is cute.  She likes him.  So why, she wonders, did she feel awkward when he touched her face?  Why did she not want to kiss him?<br/><br/>It was too much, Hazel realizes.  He was trying too hard.  He was being Romantic, instead of romantic.<br/><br/>It is that scene, that use of capitalization, which pretty much sums up how I feel about John Green as a writer.<br/><br/>John Green is very, very talented.  I have always had a high regard for his work because he never talks down to his intended audience.  His teenager characters are deeply complex and interesting.  He introduces difficult topics about identity and one's place in the world, about the meaning of heroism, etc.  He respects teenagers as intelligent individuals capable of great understanding, and it's wonderful to read.<br/><br/>Unfortunately, Green, like his character Augustus Waters, often goes too far.  An example:  in one scene, Hazel worries about the ghettoization of eggs.  I fully believe that many teenagers have thought, ""Hey, why are eggs only served at breakfast?  Why can't they be an any-time-of-the-day food?""  I just have serious doubts whether any of them have ever used the term ""ghettoization"" to describe that phenomenon.<br/><br/>The argument could be made, of course, that using large, unfamiliar words in such a context is an excellent learning opportunity for young readers.  It challenges them, pushes them to use a dictionary (or, you know, google) and expand their own vocabulary.  I can't really argue with that.  I will, say, though, that it's the use of terms like that that make me see a bit of John Green in Augustus Waters.  In his determination to challenge his readers, he tries a bit too hard; it feels stilted, rather than authentic.<br/><br/>Romantic, rather than romantic.<br/><br/>I have always believed that John Green has it in him to write one of the great American novels; he writes with such a distinct voice, with such compassion and humor.  I've read all of his books, and I have enjoyed each one, but none of them has, of yet, lived up to what I believe is Green's potential.  The characters are often pretentious, bordering on unrealistic.  It makes it difficult to relate to them; they are like the people I wish I were, rather than the person I actually am.  Furthermore, huge, grandiose events seem to always pop up right at the end of every novel, taking you out of the reality of teenagers dealing with actual problems.  Life, not life.<br/><br/>I went into TFioS with low expectations, and with a single capital R, John Green won me over.  Yes, the issues I have with his writing remain--the teenagers are too eloquent, too clever (for goodness sake, how many sixteen year old girls have Prufrock memorized?), and some plot points flirt with improbability.  But, for the first time, I saw self-awareness in the funny yet implausible dialogue.<br/><br/>This is the most growth I've seen in Green's writing, and it's really great; I hope it continues.  I want to see more of lower-case-r romantic John Green.<br/><br/>The Fault in our Stars is romantic, funny, sad, and sweet.  It is a good read, and I would recommend it to everyone.</span>"

But I thought The Fault in Our Stars was like reading a 13 year old's diary... The choice of vocabulary and dialogue overall sounded very immature and annoying.

The entire time I was reading it, all I could think was how in the world it got so many 5 star ratings. This is a young adult book that is true to its target age audience and probably would not be enjoyed by most adults. I had gotten another of Green's books from the library as well and ended up taking it back without reading it. Don't get me wrong, the writing is good and the character development is decent so I think those within his target age range would enjoy it but I would not recommend the book to the average adult.</span>"

I thought the writing was good enough to start and finish the entire book in one sitting, so that's certainly saying something, but still felt it was a little too ridiculous for my taste.  The injection of an unlikable fictional author into a very heartwarming tale about terminal illness and young love was just too much.  Silly, really, but I guess it's the kind of thing you'd expect from a young adult novel.  Overall, I'm glad I read The Fault in Our Stars (it even motivated my purchase for another John Green novel) even though I didn't really enjoy the overarching story line.</span>"

This was given as a gift to my 3rd grader with the comment that it was the top-rated book for pre-teens of 9-12 years old.  I  casually flipped through the book, as I generally preview books my younger children read, not only to discern if the material is appropriate and the book well-written, but to prepare myself for potential discussion with my child.  In the first four random flips I found words like ""ba****d"", and page implying sexual activity.  I recommend anyone considering this book for a child, read it first to determine if it is something the child is mature enough for.  It is definitely not for the age bracket recommended to me, and I did not allow my 9 year old to read it.  This story could have been told with equal honesty and sensitivity but without the irreverence and bad language.</span>"

1.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R225NJR6ISRM9Z?ASIN=014242417X	Could have been a great book...	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I truly enjoyed the majority of this book. I would love to be able to recommend it to others. But, sadly, I cannot. The Fault in Our Stars is a touching and captivating story about young teenagers facing the harsh cruelties cancer. The book is extremely popular with young teens, which is why I struggle with it so much. Had Mr. Green 's target audience not been teens, my opinion would be completely different. But since it is, I find it inexcusable to sabotage a great story with the  senseless chapter of the two teenage characters losing their virginity. This event is actually a proud/triumphant/certainly not a ""what we're we thinking/we should not have done that!""/moment. With the constant peer pressure our young kids face every day, it sure would have been refreshing if Mr. Green had taken the high road and not encouraged teen sex. I, personally, am very disappointed in Mr. Green, and disappointed in this book. Had the one chapter with the ""Venn diagram"" been left out, it could be a great book for our young teens to enjoy. Instead, it's one more attempt to desensitize our kids to immoral and dangerous behavior that the media loves to do. Shame on you, Mr. Green.</span>"

2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2OP81HLDIPU42?ASIN=014242417X	I'm having a hard time rating it	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Let me tell you a little story. I got this book a while ago. It was the first John Green book I'd read. I read it in 3 days, staying up late to finish it. I cried over Augustus' death ( don't get mad at me for spoiling it, we all saw it coming) and marveled over their profoundness. As always, i took a step back and analyzed what i REALLY thought about it. Not what everyone thought.<br/>  I think that its overrated. It's not like i completely dislike it. But i dont love it.<br/>  One of my annoyances is the afore mentioned 'profoundness'. No teenager, canser surviver or not, woul EVER talk like that. They constantly say: ""i know we're gonna die someday, but all you shallow normal people don't."" ""I have made an obsevation about life as we know it. It's gonna be deep, it's gonna knock your socks off so take note all you inferior non-canser people."" ""You die in the middle of life, in the middle of a sentence, bet you didn't think of that."" And Augustus' way of explaining basketball: ""One day, i was playing basketball. And, i was thinking about the repetitive childlike stupidity of it. its like a child playing with the shape toys."" So, THATS why he quit. Hazel questioning EGGS "" Why are eggs only for breakfast? Why can't you have them for lunch?"" Okay, 1.) You CAN have eggs for lunch eg. egg salad. And 2.) Out of all the things to ponder deeply about, thats what you choose? Now, i get that none of these are direct quotes, its just the way i interpret them.<br/>  Uhm, Gus, you okay? Someone should have asked him that. He is constantly making an 'observation' that he pompously states in the most diplomatic manner; bordering on beyond ridiculous. He has an unlit cigeret in his mouth. All the time. And he does this to prove what exactly? That he can control his death? Uh, sorry buddy, it doesn't work that way. He thinks he's so deep and witty and he doesn't try to hide it. He was so pretentious and condescending that i grew frustrated at him a lot.<br/>  Hazel, you do know that by some mirical you are alive today, right? She is such a debby downer when it comes to anything. At her support group she feels the need to rain on everybody around her by saying "" You know that one day there's not going to be anybody to rember you or me. There was a time before humans and there is a time after. We're hurtling towards an oblivian that is the fact that we are all going to die. You can choose to ignore it, God knows everyone else does."" Wow thanks Hazel, the fact that im not immortal is completely new to me. I had no idea i was going to die. You have opened my eyes to a whole new world. ( Did you catch the sarcasm?) But did she seriously think that, in a room full of kids with canser, we didn't know that death was a possibilty? ""It's a side effect of dying."" Are you not AT ALL thankful that even at deaths door, you recovered and are alive with parents that love you? I guess not.<br/>  Now, don't even try to pull the no sympathy card with me. I felt so bad for them, with canser and all. I'm just saying that she really should be thankful that she didn't die when she could have.<br/>  On another note, I have a thing or two to say about this Amsterdam trip. Peter van Houten. Woah there Peter, how has your assistant not put you in rehab? When Hazel and Agustus visit, it had me question the reasoning. Why, if it was a complete failier, did Green even write this whole part of the book? I think Van Houten was just a pawn to keep the plot going in the middle and the end.<br/>  What i did like, was that Green has an exceptional ability to write. I have tried to read Looking for Alaska, but it was to inappropiat. With that aside, his writing has a poetic-ish, yet blasè way of saying things. If his characters weren't so annoying, i would have enjoyed this more.</span>"

1.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2BJGVU7LKKWWR?ASIN=014242417X	The Fault in Your Stars, Not Ours	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Popwatch is running a contest to determine the best YA novel of all time. 60 novels were chosen for the honor, and after a week of voting it's come down to just two: the Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling and The Fault in Our Stars by John Green.<br/><br/>I assume everyone reading this is familiar with Harry Potter, but as for TFiOS and John Green, here's a bit of context: John is a part time Youtube celebrity/part time author who has built himself a fiercely loyal fanbase that call themselves `nerdfighters'. They purport to be people who stick up for the little guy, and advertise themselves as people who celebrate and defend all things ""nerdy"". It was through their passion and devotion that TFiOS could end up finishing no worse than runner-up when all is said and done.<br/><br/>I was only passingly familiar with John Green until recently. I had heard of his work, and many of my friends were devoted readers of his, but I never had an interest in reading any of his work until TFiOS became as big as it is now. While I'm not a huge a fan of the YA genre, I eventually sat down to read it. The plot is basically as follows: 17 year old Hazel Lancaster has cancer and attends a support group for said cancer. She is enchanted by the author of An Imperial Affliction, who has written her favorite book about cancer. At support group she meets a boy named Augustus Waters, whom she becomes smitten with instantly. They fall in love, and, together, attempt to find the author of An Imperial Affliction while dealing with cancer, each other, and the trials and tribulations of being a teenager.<br/><br/>The biggest and most noticeable problem is the dialogue. To put it simply, it's laughable:<br/><br/>""It does not taste like God Himself cooked heaven into a series of five dishes which were then served to you accompanied by several luminous balls of fermented, bubbly plasma while actual and literal flower petals floated down around your canal-side dinner table.""<br/><br/>""How did scrambled eggs get stuck with breakfast exclusivity?""<br/><br/>These are teenagers. You can tell me they talk like this because they had to grow up faster (as if that's an excuse) until you're blue in the face and I won't buy it. Not with lines like this:<br/><br/>""There will come a time when all of us are dead. All of us. There will come a time when there are no human beings remaining to remember that anyone ever existed or that our species ever did anything. There will be no one left to remember Aristotle or Cleopatra, let alone you. Everything that we did and built and wrote and thought and discovered will be forgotten and all of this will have been for naught. Maybe that time is coming soon and maybe it is millions of years away, but even if we survive the collapse of our sun, we will not survive forever. There was time before organisms experienced consciousness, and there will be time after. And if the inevitability of human oblivion worries you, I encourage you to ignore it. God knows that's what everyone else does.""<br/><br/>The whole book is like this. I'll never fault a writer for writing in his natural voice (if that's truly how he speaks), but this is a perfect example of a style that is incompatible with the genre. When you claim to be true to how teenagers think, feel, and talk, and come up with a contrived and pretentious mess, it makes me question how in tune to teenage culture and reality you are. Funnily enough, if this contest was any indication, Green is being touted as the poster child for a writer that ""gets"" teenagers. If that's true, teenagers have an awfully generous view of themselves. I don't know a single person, adult or teen, that talks like that, and I'm a teenager myself.<br/><br/>But I guess I can't blame him. He panders to his demographic brilliantly. I can only imagine how many young girls read this and wish for their own Augustus Waters. It's base wish fulfillment, and he does it well. It reminds me of another book that's been accused of being wish fulfillment -  Twilight. Both require a shotgun romance in order to work. There is no rhyme, reason, or motivation - the characters get together because the plot demands it. Both have a plot that's subservient to the romance. Both introduce a ""perfect man"" into the lives of their teenage girl protagonists. More importantly, both books have `projection characters' - characters with no real personality or motivation - as main characters, so that readers can project themselves into the story in their place.<br/><br/>Characterization is creating complex, relatable characters that have real motivations, desires, and faults; in other words, it's making characters that are human. It's making us care about what happens to these characters. When you make them so shallow we have to substitute ourselves into the story, you're avoiding accountablility to your readers, because you're no longer telling a story about characters. You're telling a story about the reader, and who doesn't have an emotional reaction to themselves?<br/><br/>What personality does Hazel have? She likes watching TV, she bitches about support group, and she's into having public sex in the Anne Frank house (a thing that actually happens, to cheering and applause. I'm not even s***ting you. At this point, the story becomes so ridiculous it doesn't even merit a serious response). She also, coincidentally, likes to Capitalize Things like This. I counted nearly 100 (yes, one hundred) incidents of this. It's quirky, and quirky sells, I guess, but it's more conveniently a way to disguise immature and underdeveloped writing.<br/><br/>Hazel's only role in the story is to provide an outlet for Augustus to wax poetic. To put it bluntly, Augustus is the pseudo-intellectual mouthpiece of John Green. I've never seen a more annoying, self-satisfied character in my life. He talks about the philosophy and justification for running hurdles. He quotes poetry, and he's oh so gorgeous. What's striking, though, is how similar he is to John Green, in his mannerisms, beliefs, and how he presents himself.<br/><br/>This is not good character writing. It's narcissistic and self indulgent. I don't care if John Green is the most charitable, giving person on Earth, self inserting yourself as the philosophical hero of your own story is the height of arrogance. That isn't the only incident of narcissism; Hazel is obsessed with an author who wrote a book about cancer...just like John Green. The parents are an idealistic version of his own parenting style. Every character, in some way, shape, or form, is a manifestation of his personality. Because YA as a genre is almost exclusively character driven, when your characters are shallow, unlikable, and you don't know how to write them any other way, your story is doomed.<br/><br/>The biggest problems, however, are the liberties John Green takes to make the story work. He has said that he ignores the facts of cancer ""with a grin"" in order for the story to read like he wants it to. He has also said that he believes teenagers are smarter than they're given credit for, and that the book was an attempt to capture their true thought process. I agree, but there's a problem: you can't ignore the facts of cancer ""with a grin"". You can't possibly say you're trying to write the realistic thought process of teenagers then ignore the reality of what they're going through. It's dishonest and insincere.<br/><br/>How does he do that? A combination of poor characterization, ham-fisted dialogue, and a sloppy plotline dependent on the shallow romance of its protagonists. But it's not just bad writing. It's a lot more than that, and the underlying reason why this book made me so angry.<br/><br/>When I was younger, my uncle was diagnosed with throat cancer. He took it as seriously as an inmate would take a judge's death sentence. He survived and is now thriving, but he took it seriously because cancer demands respect. We've had remarkable medical advances that have made it not quite the death sentence it once was, but it's still the deadliest thing in existence. So when you have cancer, you are, understandably, afraid for your life. That leads me to this:<br/><br/>[...]<br/><br/>He died weeks later. This is how a brave man reacts to his own mortality. This is also the same attitude that is mocked, openly, shamelessly and repeatedly, throughout the book. Cancer isn't a joke. People die from it, and they're afraid of it. They're afraid for their lives, and from the time they're diagnosed to the time it's in remission or they're dead, they are being affected by it, be it from the chemo keeping them bed-ridden, or from them being so weak from treatment that they don't have the energy to see other people. They don't quote poetry at each other. They don't opine lovingly about the nature of existence. Cancer is not a game, John Green. It's not something you exploit for your own masturbatory fantasies.<br/><br/>Funnily enough, while he insists teenagers are smarter than they're given credit for, he insists on explaining the metaphors and philosophical meaning within the book as if they aren't that smart at all. It's not even done well. The best example of this Augustus, placing a cigarette in his lips and refusing to light it. He says this is an example of doing something deadly but not giving it the power to kill you. It's treated as this great philosophical insight, and the story sets this up so that we're supposed to revel in his brilliance.<br/><br/>I've heard similar criticisms levied at his other works, so I don't think it's just a one time, bad book thing. This completely put me off his other books. Maybe that's a good thing. I end by saying that the primary problem with TFiOS, John Green, Nerdfighters, and everyone in between is an inability to grow up. I ask John Green to speak for himself, because the fault is in your stars, not ours.</span>"

I was annoyed that the life-changing favorite book of Hazel's was a made up book by John Green and was repetitively described as what John Green likely hoped his would be.<br/><br/>All the characters were unlikable because they were so pretentious and overly-quirky. Every kid felt the same person with same voice, vocabulary, and wit. The book was soaked in ""pop-foax-philosophy"" which made the whole thing feel like it was trying way too hard.<br/><br/>50% of the book had nothing to do with the plot and just made me hate the characters more. I know the 20 pages dedicated to describing Amsterdam and the Anne Frank house were probably just added because of the grant John Green received to write in Amsterdam for two months, they added nothing to the story.<br/><br/>All in all, I felt like Hazel was an instrument for John Green to blow his own horn and Gus was a badly developed character who annoyed me from beginning to end. His only role was to aggressively reenforce how ""original"" and ""smart"" Hazel is. I did not understand what was SO special about Hazel. She could do no wrong in this book. She even gives some ""superior"" insight to her own genius hero author who, evidently, was just missing her deeply honest and intelligent observations on the universe.<br/><br/>The ending was anti climactic, and when I think about where I would suggest you stop reading because nothing else happens afterward, I think you can stop after Chapter One.

I was wary of buying a book about a terminally ill teen falling in love because it's so easy to fall in the the sentimental ""Walk to Remember"" trap. But I bought the book because several of my guy friends told me they couldn't believe how clever and funny it was. One of my friends even confessed it made him weep and affected his view on life.<br/><br/>What a mistake. There were several times as I was reading on the subway that I had to slam the book shut and mutter, ""This is so unrealistic. This is so idiotic."" Everyone in the book speaks like over-pretentious Diablo Cody characters living in the melodramatic world of Nicholas Sparks. I could go into more detail about what I didn't like, but I feel other reviewers have already said it just as well. I suppose the book's worst crime is making the characters so smart and witty that they don't seem likable or, for that matter, human. Also: the fact that half the content of this book is summarizing the plot of books or movies like V for Vendetta. The readers don't need summaries of stories by other authors--we just need one really good story from the author at hand. Felt like reading a book report at times.<br/><br/>Although the first few pages held promise, I hated the book by the end of the first chapter.

I don't care how many cancer perks someone has, a flight attendant will not let underage kids drink on an airplane. America's airway is insanely strict.<br/>John Green was trying to make every person in the book a philosopher. At least one person will say almost-touching things to the main character every other page. I felt as though the dialogue was so similar between characters, everyone was the same person. There was no personality, no depth. I no longer cared about anyone by the time the story was over.<br/>One other little thing that bothered me was her parents were terrible to her and wouldn't let her do anything even though she was dying.

It has good reason and God chooses that reason. It also shows a amazing love story of Hazel and Gus. It is very sad at some points but it brings back the humour and love to the story. It has a very sad ending but the perfect ending for this book. I have heard a lot of mixed feelings for this book some people say they will not read it because they don't want to cry their hearts out over a book but others who will read it have all said (I think for the most part) have loved it. My review that I give will have to start by saying wow the choice of words and quotes is quite amazing but the story it self is a fantastic love story that I believe everyone should at least read some of the book. But it's not like anyone will ever read this long paragraph that took forever to type so for now I guess I will stop here even though this only half of what I would like to say.</span>"

This book is different in a way but also similar in many aspects. I enjoyed the first few chapters of the book since I thought it was very different. An ill girl with an ill guy falling in love. Very interesting story until towards the end of the story, it goes by very quickly.<br/><br/>I was okay with the ending but the build up towards the end was poor for me. I was expecting more from it. Not going to lie, the story is like any other romance novels with cancer patients. It's very typical. I personally think I wasted my money on this book. If i could, I would return it if they would give me full price but that's not possible.<br/><br/>I wouldn't recommend this book.

The opening was catchy, but relationship and conversations between Hazel and Gus are unbelievable. I am a teacher, and most teens are not this witty. I am going to give it a chance and finish the book, but I am somewhat sickened that the two main characters have such similar personalities.

"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I bought this book because of it's incredible feedback and was so excited to read it.  Then I finished and thought...okay, and what was so great?  All the book consists of is cheesy pick up lines and overly sarcastic dialogue.  The characters are annoying, the story feels forced.  Never once did I shed a tear.  The thing is, I've never read a John Green book but I knew a lot about him and his career and this book just seems to not be playing toward his strengths.  It just isn't believable and seems very Hollywood which is something I didn't expect from Green.  For such a good writer, I expected something more moving and powerful. It is a book about cancer and yet I never felt sorry for either character.  It is a cheesy teenage love story and all their love consists of is them saying okay to each other...and that's it. Each one had a glass half-empty look on life and I just didn't care.  I will never know why people enjoy the book so much...</span>"

I don't understand why people like this. the characters are incredibly snarky they seem  way to smart to be teenagers(yes i could tell this was being written by a man in his mid-30s) and I could not feel sorry for them. Mainly cause pulling the cancer card is cheep trick that authors use to generate sympathy for characters we would otherwise despise and I saw right through that vail. Worst of all John Green is a good writer usually( I read an abundance of Katherines and Paper Towns and loved them) but this book is his worst to date. Are all these reviews being written by little girls? I was very disappointed. And yes I am boycotting the movie when it comes out.</span>"

1.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R1M2K3QY7PIJ10?ASIN=014242417X	You've read this story a million times before	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">""The Fault in Our Stars"" currently has almost overwhelmingly positive response, pretty much everyone I know has given it 5 stars, thus I'm certain no one would want to read my sour musings, except me and maybe a couple of other like-minded and unimpressed.<br/><br/>What I'd love to know is this - what makes a writer to undertake the topic of cancer? So much has already been written about it, so many Lifetime movies filmed, so many tears shed. It literally has been done to death. What new did John Green have to bring to the cancer table?<br/><br/>The way I see it, nothing. Having your terminally sick characters be ironic about their illnesses and swap cancer jokes isn't groundbreaking.<br/><br/>""The Fault in Our Stars"" isn't a bad book, but it's a standard cancer book, and, sadly, a standard John Green book, with standard John Green humor and standard John Green characters.<br/><br/>You have a witty and intelligent protagonist (this time 2, Hazel and Augustus - a female and male versions of Miles/Quentin/Colin), a funny, slightly pathetic sidekick (Isaac - another version of Hassan/Chip/Marcus), a mysterious, unhinged girl, Gus's dead ex (Alaska/Margo clone), and, of course, the signature ROAD TRIP. I can't help but recognize these people and this plot, I've read all of Green's novels.<br/><br/>I understand why so many readers would have such an emotional response to the book. Nothing will get the ladies crying quicker than a kid dying of cancer. Add in some long farewells, painkillers, eulogies and funerals - you can collect buckets of tears. But, IMO, here Green aims for the most obvious, the most easily accessible emotions, for the most typical ""life lessons.""<br/><br/>Frankly, I think ""The Fault in Our Stars"" is Green's weakest work to date, weaker even than half-baked ""Zombicorns."" Because this, unlike his earlier works, feels commercial and intentionally tearjerky and insincere. It will probably sell the most copies.</span>"

3.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2PKMQ2LPMI8I7?ASIN=014242417X	John Green's latest book	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Let me start off by saying there was a moment of serious deliberation in my part choosing the accurate amount of stars. I was transfixed on 2.5 stars, but there's no such thing. I think 2 Stars too readily condemns this book, I think 3 stars gives it too much of a positive-thumbs-up image. I will write briefly why I I consider it 3 stars. Also, I want to emphasize, I guess I'm feeling a little modesty in giving him 3 stars? Okay. Here we go. My taking on John Green's book.<br/><br/>John Green's most popular book, up to date, as can easily be seen, is The Fault in Our Stars.<br/><br/>I will admittedly state right now I have not perused the book wholeheartedly to bring into question the verisimilitude in its Romance and philosophy - the latter which has produced some debate. I will focus on this brief review more on the author than the actual book, for personal reasons I feel people ought to know before buying the book.<br/><br/>John Green, if you watch the Amazon video clip by the author, admits to his fans it took him a process of 10 years, or at least that's when the actual idea of T.F.I.O.S originated. Nevertheless, let it stand as evidence he produced much thought on this book. Which I do not know if this would be true concerning his other books. I'm merely guessing here when I say this is the first time he has ever hit #1 on the seller's list in Amazon.com. Thus these are a few points I want to make about him.<br/><br/>I have not inspected the book ""thoroughly"" in search of its ""good"" literary qualities. Because in fact after giving it a once over it becomes clear his audience -in majority- are teenagers. The way love is treated in T.F.I.O.S is a basic love story in strangers - Once you remove the age group. Someone meets someone else in a mental therapy place. Emotions are believable and expounded rightly by the author. But a reviewer here (on Amazon.com) deemed, and made a good point, that the structure of the book is very similar to other books including Fight Club. Which all are good and fun movies, mind you. But is their influence a good one, I ask? I'm digressing here a little. The point is Green does not appeal to me because I feel this love story has been said and done before, honestly. I do feel that way, yes.<br/><br/>Green is but trying to become a writer in the literary world by the manipulation of his ignorant teenage fans who do not question profoundly enough. He says it himself here sugarcoated, of course. When asked how does he feel on his new found success, Green answers,<br/><br/>""What it tells me is that I'm a lucky guy. But it also says that if you are authentic with your readers, they will trust you when you come out with a new story.""<br/><br/>Yes. He has the trust of his readers, namely the NerdFighters. WTF is a Nerdfighter in the first place? Let me guess, defending the ""misconceptions of nerds as being weak."" Ha! I am just going to be elated if that's its meaning.<br/><br/>Anyway. That's all I have to say about his fictional literary prowess. Summarized briefly, I dislike the book I think it's quite overrated by his fans helping promote and acting as advertisements on Amazon.com -which has so many high reviews.<br/><br/>Now on to the nonfiction aspects of the book. I do not know enough about categorization to know if this book falls under ""Post Modernist"" but if it does, it's rather a bland one and no where near the level of contemporary Post-Modern writers.<br/><br/>Like I mentioned before this books delves - No. Actually, I'm pretty confident to say - it DABBLES in philosophical thought. Not enough for the average teen to contrast the verisimilitude in philosophical thought in the book's reoccurring themes of ""existentialism"". Which I find, not up to par when you actually analyze Existentialism and the ""Existentialism"" in T.F.I.O.S. Which leaves you with the Existentialism in our Youth. Admirable little subject-matter for Green to take up but he fails almost whole-hardheartedly if he thinks his book is in the league of a new genre.<br/><br/>To summarize, his fiction writing and nonfiction writing I find underdeveloped - Oversimplified almost. But I do commend his attempts.<br/><br/>Anyone who thinks a higher rating than 3 Stars is applicable to this book seriously needs perusing of it more. I haven't because I know what lies therein with a quick once over of the book. And reading Green's interviews and such. I did not allow myself to be utterly invested emotionally. Although I did give Green my imagination as I do with all fiction writers. Hence, he disappointed me when I learned the argument that he ""plagiarizes"" structures from other books.<br/><br/>In conclusion. My rating is a 2.5 I was feeling modest so I gave him a 3.<br/><br/>Your welcome John Green and all you NerdFighters out there.</span>"

I finally stopped trying to get through it about half way through. I thought it was going to be a coming of age story of these friends that have met in a youth cancer support group. But it was more of a crap youth romance book. Very cheesy and the characters are not believable or likable. Like the boy love interest likes to walk around with a cigarette in his mouth, but wont light it as a way to show the cigarette company they have no power over him. BARF.

Now if you want to lose any value you find in life, read this book. The cynical outlook on it all is great for that, but on the off chance you like life and don't want to spend 3-4 chapters bawling your eyes out, and then have it just end, then I don't suggest reading it. There were points in this book where I had to take a break from reading it, it got so depressing. How they refer to themselves as ""side effects"" of life and not like real people, also I just seriously hated that everything went wrong for this girl, like come on, finding out your cancer is just getting worse, getting your dreams crushed by your favorite author, wasting your boyfriends ""wish"", to then find out your boyfriend you just told you loved is going to die, it just seems like a stretch to make the character as sympathy grabbing as can be. I'm not going to lie, I loved this book, I also hated it once it was over, it left me sad, and full of other questions they never answered, and in general unfulfilled .</span>"

Augustus and Hazel are very annoying and aren't realistic teenagers at all. I found that I couldn't really relate to them at all. Also, I'm a teenage girl, therefore I do enjoy books that can make me cry. I read lots of reviews saying how touching the book was, but tbh I didnt even cry once. and no one my age, or any other age speak like the way those characters  do, always saying boring metaphors which was probably the author's failed attempt at humor. I also felt that the plot was a bit too predictable because I just knew that either Augustus or Hazel would die.

BUT, let's just say that there are some out that that do (I certainly don't want to assume if there are a small handful of teens that speak like this) It wasn't the dialogue of the character's so much that annoyed me, it was the characters themselves.  They were completely underdeveloped and sadly I could care less about what happened to them.  I HATE reading books with underdeveloped characters and that's exactly what this book is.  It's very badly written and I'm shocked that it's gotten such rave reviews.<br/><br/>Sorry but it's the truth.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R2ZDZL13VEUDAV?ASIN=014242417X	Overrated (Spoilers)	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I love John Green. I love his books and I think that they're fantastic. Except for this one.<br/><br/>This book is very well done in terms of the writing. It is well written, no doubt, but the story itself is lacking. While the eulogies are beautiful, they are not tear inducing because the characters themselves are not tear inducing. I am a huge book and movie crier and yet I didn't shed a single tear. What was really wrong with the characters was that it was from the point of view of a girl. John Green is not a girl. He encounters the same problem that Khaled Hosseini had in A Thousand Splendid Suns. He doesn't understand the female psyche and thus the actions and emotions of Hazel are slightly ludicrous. Ladies, if you yourself were dying, would you really say no to super hot Augustus Waters because of how his past girlfriend died? No. You wouldn't. Would you suddenly be like, ""No, I don't actually feel any attraction to you,"" and then suddenly go to Amsterdam and mack in various locations? No. You wouldn't. Would you feel comfortable with anyone, including an attractive guy, staring at you? No. You wouldn't.<br/><br/>And what bothers me most is the ending. For one, he just completely rips off himself and how he ended Looking for Alaska. Both were essays of sorts about death. That was obnoxious. For two, be honest with yourselves. Would you really be okay with your parents suddenly being blasé about your death? Yes, you would probably want them to move on. But having your parents just be enthusiastic about their lives after your death is just painful to think about. And at that, no parents would be blasé about the death of a child. If your parents would, then call the child protective services. Right now. Stop reading this and get to the phone.<br/><br/>If you want a book about cancer that is much more accurate a depiction of a female's emotions, read Sort of Forever by Sally Warner. It was written long before and has a few of the same themes. I highly recommend it.<br/><br/>And Nerdfighters, don't get huffy about the fact that I don't find this book to be a particular work of genius. Think about what I said.</span>"

5.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RBY3AEYHYHCCI?ASIN=014242417X	Teen's book - not-to-be-believed, but enough for teens to be interested in reading	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">I bought this book for my son, avid reader, who needed an outside-reading material for school.  Firstly, the seller delivered and packaged the book good.  No surprise there.  Secondly, I hated this book with a passion.  It does not make sense to be so sickly, depressed, the parents' depression is contagious, and yet go on doing things that are impossible to do with the kind of cancer that Hazel has.  Boring is a better description.  I am hating it so much, but I promised my teen daughter that I would read it.  I am forced to continue reading this book.  I know a lot about cancer and the lives of Hazel and Gus are just so turned away from reality that it is a shame and John Green was able to publish this book.  I love to read and learn from books, and I did not learn anything from this book.  John Green, how did you get such great reviews?  Did you pay for it?  Come on, this book is a joke.  Of course, it is meant for teens, so I should apologize for mocking.</span>"
2.0	/gp/customer-reviews/R38IGI8KA4G1Q3?ASIN=014242417X	Was unable to actually care about any of the characters	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">You would think that a story about a teenager diagnosed with cancer would really draw you in and make you care for the characters, but this was not the case for me with this book. I feel the novel is almost like a Judy Blume novel, written for a young audience. I enjoyed reading them when I was a kid, but need something more complex to keep me interested now that I am an adult.<br/><br/>I find that the best way to make reviews helpful is by adding a list of books I love and books I hated. That way you can compare and determine whether you and I have similar tastes. So here is my list:<br/><br/>Books I love or at at least really, really like:<br/><br/>The Last Policeman<br/>We Need to Talk about Kevin.<br/>Tell the Wolves I'm Home<br/>When the Emperor Was Divine<br/>The History of History<br/>The Remains of the Day<br/>We Have Always Lived in the Castle<br/>The Night Circus<br/>Water for Elephants<br/>The Sisters Brothers<br/>The Poisonwood Bible<br/><br/>Books I REALLY hated:<br/><br/>The Bear in a Muddy Tutu<br/>1Q84<br/>The Buddha of Suburbia<br/>A Visit from the Goon Squad<br/>Sun Storm<br/>A Long Way Down<br/>When We Were Orphans<br/>The Haunting of Hill House<br/>The Fault in Our Stars</span>"

1.0	/gp/customer-reviews/RCAXRVXCY6TBV?ASIN=014242417X	Good, But Not Great	"<span class=""a-size-base review-text"">Before I continue, let me be clear that I am not giving John Green three stars. He works hard at making the world a better place through his charity fundraising, vlogs, etc., and I admire and appreciate him. As a public figure being looked upon as a role model, he gets five stars.  I've been following his work for almost 5 years, and I hope that he'll continue to make content for years and years to come.  That's my review of John Green.<br/><br/>Now, on to the book review.<br/><br/>The Fault in Our Stars starts out extremely strong.  Hazel, the protagonist, is so wonderfully crafted that I am amazed that John Green was never actually a teen girl himself.  Those first descriptions of Issac, Gus, and the place/event where they meet are also perfectly written.  I felt like I was right there with them, seeing and feeling everything as Hazel did.  There are other moments later in the book that are absolutely perfect.  TFiOS definitely contains some of John's best writing ever.<br/><br/>However, as the story goes on, some problems stick out.<br/><br/>1) I know that this is a work of fiction, but there were moments when the plot grew so ridiculous that I found myself saying (out loud!), ""you CAN'T be serious.""  Fans of John Green's previous books will find that TFiOS makes the wackier moments of ""Will Grayson, Will Grayson"" seem realistic by comparison.  If you had trouble suspending your disbelief enough to appreciate WGWG all the way to the end, you're probably not going to like TFiOS.<br/>Minus 1.5 stars for screwing up a beautifully realistic story with unnecessary and totally unbelievable twists.<br/><br/>2) I have no objection to impressive vocabulary and deep conversations coming from the mouths of fictional teens (actually, these kids sound a lot like my friends did I when we were their age), but this is like the Gilmore Girls on Adderall. Every single conversation between the main characters is a rapid-fire exchange of existential questioning, brilliant wit, metaphor analysis, and ""look how smart I am"" vocabulary. Even brilliant people have relatively normal conversations once in a while.  Dialogue seems to always be one of John's weak points, but this time it's really more the fault of his editor.  It just needed to be dialed down a little.<br/>Minus 0.5 stars for also screwing up the realism of the story with unnecessarily, incessantly wordy dialogue.<br/><br/>3) This is just very a minor criticism... but ""Augustus""?  That's the best name that John could come up with for that character?  If he were a normal teenager named Augustus, it wouldn't have been so bad, but there are already SO MANY unlikely elements to accept about him that giving him a ridiculously unlikely name kept pulling me out of the story and reminding me that he is not and can not be real.<br/><br/>4) This is purely a personal opinion, and other people will totally disagree... but I didn't like the depressing message of the story. One of the main themes of TFiOS seems to be the ultimate futility of everything that we say and do, the ultimate meaninglessness of all of our values and relationships and beliefs. We live, we die, the world goes on. Individual lives are soon forgotten forever. In a dozen decades or so, nobody will remember anything about your life. The people who knew you will also die, and it will almost be like you never existed, and you can't bank on an afterlife.  That's VERY heavy stuff, especially in a book targeted at teens and young adults.  Not every story has to be happy, and not every story has to have a moral, but I wasn't expecting such a dark message in this one.</span>"

This story cuts to the core of a parents biggest fears and although Mr.Greene might be trying to show us how strong the human spirit may indeed be, this book has not inspired me in the least.  In fact it feels like it took the worst possible scenarios a parent could encounter and threw it into a book to depress its reader and show them that in case they thought their life is bad, it has a high probability of getting worse.  I actually wish I could ""unread"" this book and forget how depressing it was.<br/>Don't get me wrong, I read Jodi Picoult which has a high probability of making me sad or bringing me to tears but this book felt like it did so much more damage in terms of its hopelessness.</span>"

Get it!  Ha ha, funny joke!<br/><br/>Anyway, ""Paper Towns"" sits next to my bed and on nights when my depression wins the battle over my Ambien and long, droning episodes of Fresh Air, it sings a soft, improvised song so at least I don't spend those darkest hours in an inescapable silence.  It gives a lyrical poetry to those places that don't exist in which you always get trapped.  Poetry has rules, you see, even if it skips a line or two - because it's a sonnet whether the lovers become that final couplet or no - and all poetry's rules mean the marks on the map creating places only you have been before have rules that may eventually make you into a couplet, even if the poem doesn't start out with one.<br/><br/>I doubt ""The Fault in Our Stars"" will be staying up besides me and ""Paper Towns"" those night or nights in-between.  But I have plenty of other moments in my life that are too still to be safe, still enough to leave me with a brain that's not quiet right, and a self with so little barriers from that something wicked that comes but from which way? And from those other readers, ""Fault"" will notice, even through my silence, and give me a warning as far in advance as it knows and hold my hand as long as I need anyway, even if it can't tell either.</span>"
