This book is amazing. It was beautifully written in a poetic yet whimsical way. It made me feel every emotion possible such as crying and laughing at the same time. I applaud John Green for this novel which I read at the perfect time in my life. The characters were a pleasure to read about and I loved going with them on their journey. I already want to re read this book and I've just finished it. This book will stay with me long after I finish ...more

After reading so many rave reviews for this book I was expecting to very much enjoy it. I didn't. The characters felt flat, at least I couldn't connect with them. So even though I was able to read the story quickly, I just didn't care about what happened with the characters. Yes it was sad, I know that, but I'm not a person who cries easily and almost always have to feel a connection with a character for that to happen. Some things in the story made me laugh, but overall it was just an okay read

Heart touching, and best book I've ever come across in these recent years. I liked how John Green picked the figurative style of writing, with plenty of "metaphorically resonating" speech by Augustus Waters(my favorite character) and then the adjectival genius "Hazel Grace". The story made me cry from the very start till the very end, it wasn't only a sad story but it has many amusing situations too as both main characters were funny and creative in their own ways. I highly recommend it to those

Loved every word
Obnoxious
Brilliantly written! Quotable and moving. Wow. I must say that I was most impressed with the language and structure than the storyline. Nevertheless, the guilty pleasure welcoming side of me (the one that secret indulges in the Twilight movies, and hoards a not-so-secret copy of A Walk to Remember) wants the world to read this book!
God, that was a heart-wrenching read.
