I can’t tell you how much this book broke my heart. For most of the book I could not stop crying. Now, I’m asking myself “Why, oh why, did I read this book?!?!?” Before I read this book, I made sure not to read any reviews because I didn’t want any spoilers. However, I did try to prepare myself for the sadness that I knew that came with this book. Even though I tried to prepare myself for the inevitable, in the end I felt like no one could really prepare for this. When I first started reading, I

My father died of lung cancer and I received this book as a gift. John Green helped me process my grief and fall in love with two great complex characters! I also appreciated the language the teens spoke, a very mature and realistic view of how many teens actually speak. Since reading this I have read every book John Green has written!
Overly hyped, and not near as impressive as I was hoping for. Dissing Lurlene McDaniel's books did not help, either. I loved her books about teens with cancer, and the OLW foundation that helped them.
I did love Hazel Grace, even though she was constantly down on herself. I didn't like Augustus as much, since he really let himself go, and then told HG not to get him help.
The sideplot about HG's fave author was slightly enjoyable, until he became stalkerish later on. It was not fulfilling, as h ...more

I won't be writing a full review since another Lark has already done that, but wow. I loved this book. It's beautiful, hilarious, and tragic. You simply must read this one if you haven't already. I'm at a loss for words. It was that good.

WHY. So many feels, but this was a great book. I wished they lived happily ever after though. What's wrong with being happy and alive. Sigh. Thanks for recommending this book Sweta :)

TFiOS is a book about two kids falling in love..at a cancer support group. Seriously, that is the most depressing topic I think I've ever heard of for a book synopsis. Yet..it is easily one of my favorite books now. John Green takes cancer and spins into a love story..one that readers can fall in love with the characters and learn/grow themselves as they watch Hazel and Augustus change throughout the book. I love them, even though they made me cry throughout the entire book!!

this made me laugh and cry at the same time and john green did not disappoint me. looking forward to read his other novels as well.
while reading this last night, i texted someone close to heart and said, "i'm crying". and immediately he called, he thought i was crying because of my work and stressed and we both laughed after i explained to him why.

There are just so many feels. I didn't quite believe people when they said I'd need a Kleenex box for this book, but I was very glad I only read this at home. I was a total sobbing mess by the end. John Green, you are so wonderfully evil. Okay?

I hate everyone who recommended this book to me. The emotional distress was over the top. I highly recommend this book for a time when you need a good cry. GOD i cant wait to watch the movie.
