I found this book beautifully terrible. The metaphors, similes, intense enrichment of vocabulary enhanced the book's capability of learning something to a higher level! The character Augustus Water was a true symbol of hope- not you average hopeful guy. No, he had his own ups and downs. Yet, he still couldn't resist from falling in love with Hazel.

I love this book. I love the sarcasm and humor even when dealing with a very serious disease. This was a book about teens living with cancer not dying with cancer, even in their short lives they lived more than most people. This book makes you think about how precious life is. I didn’t want to read this book earlier because I just suffer the lost of a love one to cancer recently. This book reminds me of all the good times we had and how she fought even to the very end. I’ve taken to re-reading t ...more
Spent the last three hours (it's 2am on a Sunday and I have to be up at 6) finishing this book. This was my second attempt as the first time I got a third of the way through and was not amused. I am so glad I picked it back up even though when I asked the librarian to help me find it in the new OM library, she told me "oh, that's in teen fiction."
The book doesn't get 5 stars because the writing was not spectacular and I had some issues with small details but the story is incredible. The last few ...more

This was a great book to the part where I cried . I hope the movie will be as good as the book.
Wonderful read. This book made me cry (not in a depressing way-but not in a pure happiness kind of way either) and that rarely happens.
This book was beautifully written yet the ending was unexpected and sad. A great love story.
Raw, powerful, honest, heart-breaking, beautiful. Wow.
oh. my. god. I'm in tears just thinking about it.
