Per usare un ossimoro, è un dolcissimo pugno nello stomaco. Il film è fatto bene perché è praticamente uguale, ma allo stesso tempo è diverso. Forse è la scrittura profonda di Green che lo rende un po’ come se fosse un universo a parte, ma anche perché, naturalmente, in quanto romanzo originale è più completo. L’atmosfera, però, è diversa, altrettanto soft ma contemporaneamente più drammatica. Fa male ma fa anche bene. Mi piace tanto il mondo dei personaggi descritto da Green e l’ottica generale nelle loro sofferenze e la forza tranquilla con cui le affrontano. Ti fa capire bene come funziona la malattia dal punto di vista di una persona malata, ricordandoti però che non è soltanto questo.
My son recommended this book to me as one of his personal favorites. I was the last member of our family of four to read it (including my 6th grade daughter), and the finally tally was 3 family members highly impressed and the 4th a little less so. My opinion was in the majority. This is not a happy read, but it approached a dark topic with a snarky sense of humor that I thoroughly loved. Green's books was a page turner and a quick read, which worked out perfectly for knocking this out while flying. The character development was well done, the major plot twist heart wrenching, and the overall story one that tugged hard at deep emotions. If your sense of humor is a irreverent and tends a bit toward the darker side of life, I think you'll find this book to be powerful and worthwhile.
I bought this when I was 16 after I saw the movie in cinema in 2014 but never got to reading it. I read it now as a 26 year old. It felt like I was rewatching the movie. I really liked some of the quotes. I only disliked the fact that most of the book was about another book that I didn't read so all of that was boring to me and I couldn't quite understand the references. All in all I liked Hazel's point of view of life and to contrast Augustus's who wants to be remembered, something I understand but don't relate to. I love how honest the writing was when it came to loss and grief. The anger, the denial...

Creo que el autor ha sido muy inteligente con sus personajes.
Por sus circunstancias son a la vez adolescentes y muy conscientes de ellos mismos y el mundo alrededor. A veces es un poco peñazo, pero no siendo muy largo se deja llevar muy bien.

Oh, one of the earliest books that shattered my heart. This marked the beginning of my self destructive reading taste.
