What Members Thought
Being me, I had heard good things about TFIOS, but did not really know much about the story line. I knew it had the potential to make me cry. What I didn't know was that it would manage to make me cry and laugh at the same time. It's a precious book, and a lovely example showing young adult books don't need to be trilogies with supernatural creatures or dystopian futures. Hazel and Augustus will most probably break your heart, but it's totally worth it.

wow. i read this in two days (that's rare for me). i wasn't sure whether i could read it at all. i was fearful of how i would react if the author went into too much detail about hazel's cancer treatment. but it was a wonderful book. funny. and heartbreaking. and clever. not what i expected. i kind of felt like i might be torturing myself just by picking up the book....not so. :)

Made it to page 260 before needing the box of tissues. So glad I finished this before going to work tomorrow. Would have needed more than one box of tissues.
Brilliant, absolutely brilliant.

Very sweet. I'm bawling like a baby.

Teens get cancer, fall in love, and die. You think you know what this is about, but you'd be wrong. Yes, there's cancer; yes, there's falling in love; yes, there's death. But there's so much more, and that so much more is funny and thoughtful and sad and unjust and resentful and heroic and wishful, because real people are so much more than their diagnoses.
