Your EARS Will Be WET with the steady trickle of tears. . . . so Don't try to finish this while reclining in bed. Cuddled in bed is a comforting, safe place to read sad endings...but . . . .
I knew this "would not end well", yet it is well worth reading.
I tend to race through books to see "how they turn out", and did the same with this one, even knowing it would be a final helping of "sad".
Sad because that's the subject matter, but not depressing or difficult to read.

I'm not one to cry while reading books, and I didn't while listening to The Fault in Our Stars as an audiobook. That doesn't mean, though, that the book didn't move me.

Deserves all the hype. Okay, probably not all the saccharine "the characters are So Special" and "This Book Will Change Your Life Because Life". (I'm betting those sentiments would make Augustus and Hazel puke, btw.)

I loved this book. I decided to read it after seeing the movie and loving the movie. After reading the book I still love the movie but I love the book a little more.
