The Fault in Our Stars

Who was super depressed or cried at the end of this book?
Not the end of the book but during Augustus's funeral and prefuneral and everything. And after, yes! I was so totally depressed
When Hazel snapped the photo of Augustus and the very last sentence reads, “I never took another picture of him", in reference to Augustus.This part just... emotional.
Super depressed in this book specially in the end -_- it was like i dont know what to do next after finishing it.. *Deep breaths.
I kinda predicted the ending, so it was no shock to me. I was a little upset that he passed, but all the humor in the book kept me from being super sad and from crying.
I'm not the crying type or anything, so I wouldn't have anyway, but the ending was really predictable. I was kind of angry that it was so easy to figure it out
I kinda agree, the ending may have been rushed..because it just says how augustus was really ill .. And then after a couple days: He Died. Oh.
While the ending was predictable, it still made me super-depressed as well :'(. I think the character development and interaction between Hazel and Augustus was phenomenal, which is the main reason I loved the book so much (and was so sad when it ended).
Not just the end... Throughout the whole book. It's sort of hard not to cry at the end of this book. :*(
I cried, but I wasn't depressed. I was actually kind of relieved. Since the beginning, I knew that someone was going to die. I was surprised of who died, because I expected it to be Hazel and no Augustus. I thought the ending was beautiful. I was teary, but I feel like it could not have been written any other way. I wanted to hug Hazel so hard... but I still couldn't help but find it all so beautiful. Huge John Green fan, and this book made my respect for his writing grow even more.
I cried through the last 25% of the book even though I knew going into it that someone was going to die. I don't believe it was the death, per se, that was what made me emotional but more so the relationships and love (not just the romantic kind) amongst the characters.
"I lit up like a Christmas tree" was the point where I lost it.
This book touched me in a way no book has before, I was strong right up until the last hundred pages where the word crying was an understatement. The fault in our stars has been one of the most touching and breathtaking books I have ever read!

I cried a lot. This one was second-most tear producing book for me, the first being Mockingjay. Like Marianne and Priyanka, the part where Gus told Hazel he had a lot of cancer really got me.
I just made my sister read this, who watched me weep as i read it, and she ran into the lounge when she'd finished and she just sat there crying for like 5 minutes. she never cries at books as well, this one finally got to her
I should say that I was really upset about the ending of the book. I didn't expect Augustus will die and it was really upsetting I almost cried :((( Im sure when the movie comes out I'll cry. I cry a lot in movies that in books..
I finished this book almost about 24 hours ago and i'm so thoroughly depressed! The experience of Gus' death had made me think of every real and fictional death I've experienced- both of my grandparents, Tris from Divergent series, Finnick and Prim from Mockingjay, Number One and Eight from Lorien Legacies, Beckendorf and Silena from PJO series, Brianna and Caine from Gone series and soo many others! But the Gus' death have been most depressing for me (next to my grandparents'). He was like my friend. Hazel and Isaac are my friends too. It's like I'm experience a death of my own friend and I can't help them in any damn way but keep reading ahead. When I finished the book I swore that I won't cry because they were my best fictional friends and I don't wanna upset them by thinking of their death but wanna make them happy by remembering all the funny moments. But it just doesn't work that way :/...because you love them, and you can't help but cry on the death of those who you love.
I finished this book exactly 13 hours ago (Wow yay for the world) and ever since I have been in a depressing mood. Even thinking about cupcakes isn't lifting my mood. (That might also be because in PE we watched a video about some guy who went on a fruit diet for 60 days) anyways I am like dying and I wish that Gus hadn't died and I was secretly hoping that they would find a cure or that John Green would be like SUPRISE! Actually Gus has a secret twin and he was the one to die not Gus. It still would have been sad but at least Gus was alive right? And now I am completely and utterly in a depressed stage that is-let me tell you- very unlike me and all my friends are asking If I am an alien and where are you keeping rabia and let us go and save her(or me) so that there was someone to repeat random quotes from random books that they've never read and keep us from dying of boredom from school. I feel like crying.
I finished this book in one day, and i was bawling at the end. From when Agustus tries to get a new pack of cigarets on i was inconsolable! I loved the ending though, anything but would've made this book bad to be honest. The book gets your heart into it and you're rooting for them, then it rips your heart out. This book is amazing!
I don't think 'depressed' is the right word when you talk about a reaction to a book. 'Sad' can qualify but not 'depressed'. And this was: wise-ass answers by a random user.
Anyway, yeah, it was kind of sad. It's always sad when main characters die. (Although you should've seen it coming - I mean, this IS about kids that have cancer!)
Did I cry? Of course I cried. I bawled like a baby and didn't sleep a wink on the night I finished the book (even though I had already guessed the ending--in a book titled The Fault in Our Stars, Romeo has to bite it first, right?). I knew good and well it was coming. I was ready, (not unlike Shakespeare's audience), but it came and I cried anyway. That's what makes John Green's writing so wonderful. He has the ability to suck the reader in (even when the reader should know better). As the author, Green might say he died the moment this book was published, but I still pay homage to the dead man walking (or sitting around--whatever he is doing at the moment) and the sweet torture he inflicted upon my soul. All hail Green!
I did not cry but was very sad !!!!
I finished the book in 5 hours. It was great, I thought everyone was lying about how said I was. By the time Hazel and Issac were reading their eulogies I was crying. I didn't even realize I was crying. Then my eyes were so blurry and I read that he died. I was so sad. I really thought Hazel was going to die.
It actually made me cry 💔 specially when gus died and funeral ...it was super sad and i was depressed for 2 weeks.
but it's one of my favorit book because it shows us how to be bold and how to get through tough days and it was John Green's masterpiece.
I really liked this book. I remember reading this book right before class started in highschool and I balled my eyes out. I was a wreck that is for sure!
I actually didn't but I liked how it was more of a realistic book then having the typical happyily ever after feel

Yes I cried. Are you surprised?
yes I indeed cried at the end. This book make me realize to live life to the fullest. No matter what is going on in your life. Good Bad or indifferent.
Crap. If not being able to hold in tears when someone says ‘okay’ is me being depressed, then sure! I just felt hollow after I had finished. Hollow. Empty.
This book has made me cry so much... It makes you think about life and how you never know what will happen next...
Yes I cried doesn't everyone when they read it.
Well, it's been a year since I read the book. But i still remember that i cried a loot while reading this amazing book.
I had a chance to learn so many things from the book. I watched the movie as well but of course I'd be a fool if I said that there is no comparision between the two.

To be honest i found this book 'okay' but still interesting and i love a good cry when reading books but i didn't cry neither on the book or movie
I totally bawled. OMG it was so sad and depressing. I kind of saw it coming because John Green is like that. And I think it did sort of feel like the right way to end it, though I would have loved it if he had, you know, not died. I just keep thinking that the book Hazel was reading was unfinished and sometimes stories just keep going on.
OML same!! I have read this book so many times and every time I can't stop myself from bawling!! It was really well written. I loved every part of this book. Everything cane together so perfect. As John Green books usually are.
My god! I've read it back when I was in high school..now I'm in college and i still remember exactly how i felt the moment i finished it ..it was like being punched in the gut..i cried so much
this book made me cry, like ugly cry omg it was sooo good, the ending killed me !! no pun intended !! :( :( :(
All hail Green! The champion of punching us in the gut with ineffable sorrow!
I always cry when reading emotional books though I tell myself I shouldn't be weeping over fictional characters but I just can't help it!Okay, this book is really sad and I cried during Hazel's speech. And when she put the bag of cigarettes in Will's casket, telling him he can actually light them.
The story is really beautiful and sorrowful. I've read the book twice but it still brings tears to my eyes. Actually, I've seen people reading and never even crying over the saddest books. How is this even possible? Do any of you guys never cry over deaths of characters or an incredibly beautiful quote?
I read it at first before the movie came out and it made me cry, but I don't think I really understood the meaning of it. When my best friend got diagnosed with leukemia, i re-read it and became so depressed and i cried for hours. It tells the hard truth so beautifully that it almost makes you forget that it is bad.
I totally balled at the prefuneral...My friend spoiled the ending for me before I even started reading it, but I got so lost in the book that I forgot! When Gus opens up to Hazel about his scan, it totally threw me off guard. I was so depressed, even though I knew what would happen... It was heart-wrenching.
I surely was depressed when I read the book. I remember that whole week. I was in college and I couldn't concentrate on studies. I didn't felt like laughing. The story felt personal.

I don't think it's ridiculous. It shows you have the capability to understand someone else's pain. 😊
