I am overwhelmed by this novel and I don't think there's much I can say about it that hasn't been said before. I think everyone needs to experience it for themselves. I adored Hazel and Augustus and Isaac. My heart went out to all of them. I now know what all the fuss is about. I would not hesitate to recommend this brilliant book. ...more

This book was just amazing, inspirational, so funny but tear jerking all at once. There's so much to learn from this. I'm not blind through canceer, but I am blind and having a great blind character in a book is a nice surprise. ...more

Wow! What an amazing book filled with life, love, and grief. I love the relationship between Hazel and Augustus; not only do they provide a much needed friendship to one another, they also fall in love, something everyone needs to experience in life. As a book junkie myself I appreciated the love both characters had for specific books and how they forged a connection through the plots of those stories.

This book is based on a spectacular idea. Truthfully, I would love to read a book with this idea, but not this one.
I felt that so many things were good but did not live up to itself. The characters had amazing traits, but at the same time were exceedingly boring. The romance in the book was amazing, but I just did not feel their love. The plot was brilliant, but I was never pulled in.
Another thing this book is supposed to be sad, but I just did not feel the sadness.

Touching and sad. I started this read not wanting to like it, thinking that it was just exploited human emotion towards this sick, but the story was so good that I fell in love right along with the two characters.
