Have you ever read a book that you can tell from the beginning that it's going to haunt you for days after you finish it. Well this is one of them. This book makes you feel so many emotions. Happy, sad, laughing, confused as in WTH are they talking about, then you're crying. Dang I'm still leaking tears. Hazel Grace was wondering why Gus was staring at her when they first met but then he talked and she wanted to spend time with him and so it began. Two kids who didn't know how much time they had ...more

Words cannot even describe my love for this book. Many friends had told me to read it and I finally did. I don't know why it took me so long to do so. This book is a must read. The love I have for its main character Augustus surpasses all of my other book loves. Mr. Green has written a masterpiece. Read it now, if you haven't already. ...more

I really liked this book. I read it on a recent plane trip and needed tissues. Different than what I usually read. The author takes a different approach to this subject. The characters and the back story make an enjoyable read in such sad circumstances.

I wish I could put into words how absolutely fantastic this book really is. My words, however, do the book no justice. I was in tears for last couple chapters of the book, which does make it difficult to read. It’s one of those books I just want to shove into everyone’s hands and tell them they must read it.

I was prepared, but this book still broke my heart.

This is the book I wanted Looking for Alaska to be. It had some similarities, the same story in some ways, but... so much more. I Love Hazel, I love Gus, two characters that might at any point slip off the page and live in our world (cancer free!!).

I was so engrossed I read it in one sitting. Love can make you weak in ways you never knew....and strong in ways you've never imagined (my own quote). That's what I got from this book. A well told tale. It's one that'll stick with me for a long long long time. Okay. Okay. (inside joke referring to the book).
