This is a tearjerker. It's a bit more of a teenager-book but adults can absolutely enjoy it as well. I cried (adult). I felt really attached to the characters but it is a very easy read.

Honestly I did enjoy the book, at least for the most part. BUT there were several times during the book where I was like “Do teenagers really talk like that?!?!” (none that I know of) The way they spoke seemed so absurd to me that much of the book became frustrating to read. I mean it was easy to understand, but just in my head It was harder to get to be on the characters level when to me the author tried way too hard to make them sound wise beyond their years….I don’t mean this in a good way either, it was more like wise in an ancient annoying way that no teenagers talk. And lets not even begin to talk about Peter Van Houten – The author of ‘An Imperial Affliction” that they go visit. >< I was annoyed beyond belief with his entire character.

The beginning of the book was much more interesting to me but then it took a turn. It was still good, but just not as good as I thought it was going to be. There was so much hype created around this book that I truly expected to be reading page to page loving the book, and wanting it not to end.

The characters of Hazel and Gus were great I mean I did like them, I loved how they were openly honest with the cancer they were going through, talking about ‘cancer perks’ and metaphors. But much of their dialogue was forced. Long drawn out sentences with big fancy wording and meaning, that half the time, well….didn’t make sense.

From first when Hazel and Gus started falling in love with each other I could almost call the ending of the book. I knew that was the turn the book was going to head in. So there really was no shocker for me. No big “ah-ha” moment. Just predictable.

But all in all I did enjoy it. I basically read it before my daughter just to see what all the hype was about. I think she will enjoy it. There were parts of the book that I enjoyed a heck of a lot more then the others. But that is a given with anything that we read.

I love this book and the movie! The storyline is great and it definitely made me tear up at the end.

This is a young teen book and it definitely a very easy read. I was able to finish the book in 2 days and I did not want to put it down at all. I did watch the movie afterwards and it was good but the book definitely has details that makes you think or choke back your tears a little.

The preview for this movie made me want to read the book before the movie came out. Like most books its better than the movie.

This was a moving book that requires tissues at times, a book i had trouble putting down.

"The Fault In Our Stars" is a very well written novel with great character development and thought provoking ideas easily blended into the humorous yet extremely touching story of two teen cancer patients whose ordinary lives make an extraordinary turn upon meeting one another. I loved the book and John Green's writing style will always make you love the characters as if they were your own friends. Make sure there are tissues near you when you read this book. My only disfavour when it comes to John Green and his novels is that they are a little anticlimactic - there's never that big boom or plot twist that makes you pause for a second. Nevertheless, I love his writing and how much depth there actually is to his stories other than just characters going through motions. If you haven't read his novels yet, do it. Like, right now.

This book was good. Characters were great and you really get to know them. At the end you really feel like you're part of the book.

Great quick read. Good writing which helps a lot. I have read a few other books of his and this one is the best.

Worth reading.

This was a good book, until I started to analyze it for a book club. If you don't dig too deep into the characters it is a pretty good book.

Love this book. It made my cry.
The story was well written and it was a different read for me.

This is a pretty good book. It's the type that really gets you from the subject matter though. Arguably more hype than substance.
