So, obviously, it ends how it ends, but the final leg of the journey was quite a bit different from the movie. I actually kind of like the movie's version better, though in the book Hazel Grace does gain some insight into Van Houghton, allowing closure to the Van Houghton story thread.

Augustus is very quotable. Interestingly, he is also the only character I alway read with the unusual affect the actor in the movie used, somehow that is just an intrinsic part of the character.

Thus far the movie has been very nearly word-for-word true to the book, much more so than I would have expected. There are a few changes to keep the movie flowing at a slightly faster pace (to do otherwise would result in the movie taking to long and diminish the impact of the story). It was nice to be able to read the text messages and letters, as the text moved a bit too fast during the movie for me to follow.

I came across the movie first, but that left such a powerful impact that I knew I had to seek out and read the book. I know this one is probably going to hurt, but if it's as good as the movie (and movie adaptations generally pale when compared to the books they came from) I can't wait to get started.
