Well first of all, this book is great, it really is. I laughed and I almost cried. Hazel and Gus were just so cute together and I just loved their romance. However I got over the philosophical talk really quickly. Some of it fit, and others felt pushed in, and forced. No teenager talks like that (let alone has a vocabulary that... extensive?) Nonetheless, I still enjoyed the novel.
I admire the author for capturing the time-old disease of leukemia from teenager's perspective. The conversations were both witty and relatable as were the characters.

A cerebral teenage love story where the main character is cancer. I listened to the book during my commute to and from work. It was dramaticized very well and may possibly be the best way to experience it. At times I thought that the plot wasn't "real" enough, but this is a novel and when I reached into the bag of "willing suspension of disbelief" just a touch I found it quite touching and beautiful. Great YA Read.
John Green intertwines the shock of death and the rebirth love can create in a person perfectly. I love his style of writing is so mature and I love it. His youtube channel "Vlogbrothers" really helps you get to know him and his personality. This book has brought many people to tears with the plot twist and if you have read some of his books you might know what to expect.

This book had me sucked in from the first moment. The writing was eloquent and tight. I invested so much in Hazel and Gus in the short moment I was with them. I laughed and cried through the whole book, so I am glad that my husband wasn't home to see the ugly tears. What a completely amazing book.
I thought it was kind of rubbish actually but I've never been one for romance books so that might be it. However I found a couple of funny-ish parts in the book and some of what they said was quite good so I decided to be generous with 3 stars as I believe it really only deserves 2 and a bit.
This book made me cry. The first time i cried reading a book.. Augustus Water. I did not expect you to die.. that too so fast.. This was gem. Reading it made me realise how important the people we love are. How gratefull we should be to them. That we should tell them that they’re important. Thank you John Green. For making me realise… One of the best books I’ve read..
