Most of you know I'm a huge John Green fan. I've got quite the literary crush on the happily married man. I loved his [b:Will Grayson, Will Grayson|6567017|Will Grayson, Will Grayson|John Green|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1327872014s/6567017.jpg|6759965] that he co-wrote with David Levithan. He started his literary greatness with [b:Looking for Alaska|99561|Looking for Alaska|John Green|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1327869663s/99561.jpg|919292], and continued it with [b:An Abundance of Katherines|49750|An Abundance of Katherines|John Green|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1327870171s/49750.jpg|48658] and [b:Paper Towns|2914097|Paper Towns|John Green|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1327869758s/2914097.jpg|3364505]. But what I love about his newest book is that I'm proud because it seems like John Green is all grown up. :) Paper Towns was very similar to Looking for Alaska and I was afraid his books were starting to all be very similar. The Fault in our Stars proves that John Green is one heck of a writer and has mastered the tearjerker better than Lurlene McDaniel.
Mr. Green handles a female narrator with grace, although I felt it struggled at the beginning of the novel. He continues his streak of quirky characters with Hazel and Gus, two teenagers suffering from cancer. There's philosophy, religion, death, bliss, love, tears, laughter, great dialogue, and a trip to Amsterdam to see a drunk author. I'm glad Green's doubters will have to eat their words now. And I can't wait to eat lunch with him in Dallas Sunday!

«Δεν μπορείς να αποφασίσεις αν θα πληγωθείς σε αυτή τη ζωή, όμως σου πέφτει κάποιος λόγος στο ποιος θα είναι αυτός που θα σε πληγώσει.»
Another book I read long ago, that I would love to know my opinion now. I read this probably in the same month I read Looking for Alaska, and though I didn't feel as strong about this one, I adored the reading, and literally believed that I could identify John Green's writing anywhere.

This book has left me speechless, breathless and in absolute awe.
Impeccably written, characters with such depth it’s impossible not to picture them as real people. As much as I enjoyed this reading/audio journey I can’t help but be slightly envious of John Green’s inspiring work.
I listened to this on audio and Kate Rudd’s performance as narrator was stunning. As someone who not only has life-threatening disabilities, but as a person with many friends who can relate to the characters of this book on a more pure and personal level, the attitudes of the characters, especially in regards to their illnesses, ailments and situation is captured perfectly.
I can’t recommend this book enough. I absolutely LOVED it. This is the type of book every reader dreams of picking up. The book you can’t stop thinking about that continues on within you. This book is the golden light in the dusty corners of literature. A pure gem.

Augustus Waters, I wish dreams were like wishes, and wishes came true, cause in my dreams I'm always with you.
Yes. I have jumped on the Augustus fangirling bandwagon, it is true.
This story was painfully honest and absolutely heartbreaking. Every character in this story was so brave - accepting, dealing, moving on. Everyone told me this story was good, and while I didn't cry like I probably should have, this story really did touch me. The things you think you know about life, but really you have no idea. This story made me re-examine everything I hold dear and what it really means to LIVE.
So much love in and out of this story. So much. Truly gorgeous!
