"The Fault in Our Stars" is written for young adults, but it is one of those books that transcends age divisions.
Looking at it one way, you could simply categorize the book as a tear-jerker romance between two teens that have had cancer. However, more than that, the story is about Hazel and Augustus, two very real young people who are unique in their interests, personalities, and perspectives on life, who are not defined by having had cancer, but with whom we can experience and empathize with th ...more

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.

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!
Oh, this was amazing! I was so engrossed I completely forgot what day and time it was and missed a work deadline...oops. Augustus and Hazel are both such gutsy characters, they could have had a great story even if there hadn't been a story.

It was a difficult read. Not because it has a difficult language but because one had heard so much about it. It just had very high expectations and besides morbidity has never been to my liking. It is good but it is not Grisham
