Sooooo beautiful, sad, heartwarming (and yet heartbreaking), funny, intelligent.... No sabría como describir la historia sin caer en las obviedades porque tiene un concepto que a primera vista puede parecer simple y sensiblero, pero que es mucho más, y John Green sabe plasmar la historia de Hazel y cia de una forma cercana y perfecta sin caer en los clichés sobre el cáncer.

Hazel Grace y Augustus Waters se quedarán mucho tiempo conmigo. Me alegro de haberle dado una oportunidad al libro.

Original rating and review: 5 stars

Cannot believe I laughed so much and cried so much during the same book. It doesn't really warrant a review. Just a good thorough reading with lots of emotions involved. ...more

What a great story. When you read a story where the two main protagonists have cancer, you figure you may run into some sad moments. But what I didn't expect was to read a book filled with such fun dialog (reminded me of the way they conversed on Gilmore Girls) and such touching moments. It was a story of a girl and a boy, but also a story of a girl and her family and I think that's one aspect of the story I fixated on and related to most. I loved the scenes between Hazel and her parents and how ...more

I was disappointed to see how short this book was. Short it maybe, but packed full of meat. Its almost as if every word in this book was a marvel in itself. I can understand people not liking the way the book is written. To me the writing is perfection. I left this book - feeling it had so much insight in the rawness of being a teenager with a terminal disease. I found myself loving Hazel. I watched the previews sure it was going to be the typical love story. It is not. Read it.

I have to say, I was a little disappointed in this book. It didn't grab me and make me not want to stop reading. I didn't fall in love with the characters and the storyline was just meh.

Just my opinion, but I don't understand why there is all this hoopla. ...more
