I can't really go into a bunch of details because I JUST finished reading this book and I'm still feeling all the feelings, but I know that if I don't review it now I never will, and I think this book deserves all the praise it can get.

Hazel was the best type of brave, the kind that isn't afraid to admit that she's annoyed or scared or just doesn't want to be touched at the moment. She never once fit into the mold of what someone who is"dying" is supposed to be, and I loved her for that.

I think there was some fault while creating us! Seriously I think its unfair (not just with cancer but with all the deceases) I dont know whether we are blessed or cursed! even if many of us dont suffer like these people with some deadly decease, we do suffer in losing them :( I havent seen any cancer patient before reading this book but now I will say I lived with them through this book! Hazel and Gus gonna haunt me!

I'm not going to lie- I read this book because I was going to go see the film. And while this was a reread, I enjoyed both times.

There is this distinctive John Green type of writing style that I'm not overtly fond of - but that's alright, it's not something that ruins the book for me or anything. I think the story is overtold to be honest but there's something about Hazel and Gus that just get to me.

I'm giving 5 stars to this book. And here are the reasons:

1.) i can't stop reading the book. To be honest, the first time i read this last year (requested by my friend) i never liked it coz it talks about "cancer patient" and i really hate reading books about sick people or about particular diseases that leads to death. It will make me sick and sad! And i hate being sad.

2.) this book made me cry. This book contains some very heartbreaking events that would make you tear up a bit or maybe alot. ...more

I fought for months to not read this book...worried it would be too sad and emotional and generally trying to avoid those feelings all together...but, that is the beauty of book club, it forces you to read outside of your comfort zone!! I absolutely LOVED this book!! I loved all the brilliant lines throughout the book (e.g., "Time is such a slut. She screws everyone." and, "I missed the future."). Anyhoo, I loved how "real" this story was...not too sappy, not too sad, just honest and witty! This ...more
