One of the most amazing books I have ever read!!! John Green is a brilliant author!!!!
holy fucking shit.
this fucking book.
this fucking book.
This book is everywhere right now. Very hyped up and getting a lot of exposure, and good reviews too. No one likes to be the jerk that says a book about teens with terminal cancer who are in love is bad. But I found this book to be really dull and hard to get through. The characters weren't particularly interesting, the plot was on the far end of the melodramatic scale, and I found it hard to actually care about them or their situation much. Maybe I just can't relate...or maybe it's just not act

Thinking about your future can bring up a variety of questions. The questions can be serious like:
What are you going to be when you grow up?
Will you have kids?
But, the questions can also be mundane and insignificant like:
What color house will you live in?
What TV shows will you watch?
Hazel knows she shouldn’t consider any of these questions. Living with thyroid cancer that has spread viciously to her lungs should have killed her years ago, but with the help of an experimental treatment, Hazel ...more

Almost every one of my female students read this book last year. I wondered why they all wanted to read something about such a depressing topic (people around their age with cancer) and they all said it was just so good. I promised them I would read it over the summer and had to keep that promise, even if I may or may not see them again. I see why they liked it--the writing suits their sensibility and the characters and love story are written to make them relatable. I was glad they all read it b

This was an amazing book!! I was instantly hooked after reading the first one or two chapters. I feel like John Green has created some extremely likeable and personable characters, and the whole storyline is great and well thought out. There is some swearing, and some premarital sex, but it makes for a fantastic story - something in here for everybody, I believe. It's kind of an older version of Beverly Clearly's Dear Mr Henshaw - in The Fault in Our Stars, the main character, Hazel, communicate
