Read this book in one sitting. I love the stream-of-consciousness-philosophical thoughts of Hazel Grace. And I love that her middle name is Grace.
John Green is a ruthless Hoosier bastard. By all rights, and given who I am, I should be weeping like mad as I sit here having finished this beautiful novel. I cried in Amsterdam, but here at the end I'm left with the a sort of contented emptiness, because that's all I can be after all of that.

So, I enjoyed reading this and sobbed at the end. Mostly because it made me nostalgic for my middle school and high school years. Gus's fake cigarette habit and the language of both sort of drove me nuts at times the same way Dawson and Joey's did (totally stealing the comparison to Dawson's Creek from Jess A's review). My nostalgia also may stem from the fact that I read a lot of Lurlene McDaniel books (girl gets terminal illness, falls in love, dies) when I was in middle school and loved them

Very sweet. I'm bawling like a baby.

Possibly the best book I've read this year...the past few years?
John Green is an amazing, irreverent, witty, emotionally poignant, writer.
I laughed out loud, I hiccuped into immediate tears, and I laughed again through those tears.
I doubt the movie will be anywhere near as good, but I'll give it a shot. ...more

I just finished this book, and I freely admit that I am a mess. It was sad and poignant without feeling affected or preachy. Despite the death, it's not a book about dying. It's a book about living with the side effects of death.

4.5 stars. Cried my eyes out. Extremely well plotted. Dialogue was sort of like watching Dawson's Creek, but I still loved it.
