I don't think that I would have ever picked up TFIOS had it not been for my job at B&N. Having seen, what seemed like, every other customer come up to the registers with this book for weeks, I finally decided it was time to see what the craze was all about. And thank God I did. I didn't know what the book was about when I started it; I knew nothing about it. Ordinarily I would not pick up a book that so heavily emphasized teen romance, or one that centered on cancer. I don't typically have the patience or interest for the former, or the emotional stability for the latter. But TFIOS is so much more. So much. And, yes, while I ended up crying like a little baby - literally sobbing, complete with sound effects - for the final fifty or so pages, I could not be happier that I purchased and read this beautiful work of art. Not having read anything else by Green, I didn't know what to expect of his writing, but jeez, is he not just so freaking smart. That's the best word I can come up with to describe his writing, because, unfortunately, I am not so much so. But Green has this way of writing a YA novel, from the perspective of a sixteen year old girl no less, that just made me stop every time I was forced to put the book down and just think, this is brilliant. So I laughed (because Hazel and Augustus are just so quirky, and fun, and smart, and so much more than just sixteen and seventeen year old YA fiction characters, and so much more than just cancer victims), I definitely cried, and I finished the book wanting more but feeling, like Hazel with An Imperial Affliction, complete.

This book is written by the devil, I'm sure of it. Cried like a baby.

this is one of the sweetest heartbreaking books i’ve ever read. I cried and i’m not usually that emotional. i recommend it for anyone who needs a love story that’s a little different. it felt really meaningful to me and it’s focus on cancer makes you feel very emotional. i personally feel very grateful to be healthy and grieve and hope for a long live with those you have to live with this pain.
