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..

I have so much to say but also nothing at all
I couldn't feel much for two-thirds of the book but cried quite frequently towards the end
The quotes are beautiful, my connections with the characters not so much. All their voices felt the same.
I don't know what living is, this question leaves a hollow in my heart, and just like everyone I do not understand much about the world, loneliness is a truth I cannot escape, it stays even even when I love.
there is no sense in much of our lives yet we live because choosing to die is also part of life,
losing people still hurts, and makes you ponder why do we still suffer after all, still continue to live, and create our scar by creating more of your species and eventually leaving them in the oblivion
