Audiobook. Loved this. It’s emotionally difficult but worth the listen.
I almost feel a little bad giving this book such a low rating given the subject matter, but I really didn't care for it much. I found most of the characters, especially Hazel and Augustus, to be irritating and pretentious. I actually wanted to roll my eyes at some of the dialogue. The author tries way too hard to be witty, profound, and moving. Obviously, this worked for other people based on all the glowing reviews, but I just did not buy it.
Here's my John Green disclaimer to start this off: I like John Green as a person (as much as I know of him). His videos and posts online are entertaining and I like how philanthropic he is. I just have yet to enjoy him as an author.
And the review:
I just cannot get on board with this book.
I read the whole thing, I gave it an honest effort. But I found that I had no developing concern for either of the characters (an important element in a book like this) and I didn't feel as though the author was helping me care about them. I'm a crier (seriously, I cry over commercials sometimes) and I did not shed a single tear while reading this book. I just didn't feel invested enough in these flat characters to care.
