Good story, nice short read.
However, I think the story might actually be more effective as a movie. The writing didn't really have very much depth and it didn't feel like the emotions were genuine. So the sad parts didn't make me very sad and the happy parts didn't make me very happy.

This book was one of the most amazing novels I have ever read. It made me cry no less than 5 times. No book has ever done that before. Tfios made me laugh, cry, and rethink my view of the world. Each character truly comes alive and I felt so entrenched in their struggles that I wished that their stories would go on forever. Sadly, some infinities are smaller than others. DFTBA.
I love this book so much that I'm going to listen to it now that I have read it. And then I may read it again. It's true that I've never met teenagers who are as articulate and insightful as Augustus and Hazel but that's one of the reasons it's such a special book. John Green has used his experiences to help us find hope in a hopeless situation. Love, love, love!
I didn't have many expectations going into this one. It was a book passed along to me by my 15 year old cousin, the cover missing. So, I was surprised and impressed by how funny and sweet it was. The narrator was a cynical, astute 16 year old with terminal cancer. This ties in with my NEXT read, which is also about cancer. Cheery March!
I've tried to read this book once, last year, before the whole "fandom" started with the movie release. I couldn't get past page 10 or so, because I thought it was just too depressive and I honestly didn't like the way the author constructed his phrases.
Last week I rewatched the movie for the second time in less than a year, an obvious sign that I loved it, and I decided to give the book another chance. It was the best thing I could have done - an amazing book, amazingly written and, probably because of my current state of mind, it almost felt like reading it was healing me a little inside.
I never write reviews on books but this one, I just couldn't NOT write about.

A powerful and moving story about friendship, family, loss and grief. This story highlights the joy that can accompany friendship and finding a place where you belong while also juggling the hardships of cancer. This novel broke my heart but also reminded me how fragile life is and how important the relationships we surround ourselves with can be. A must read by everyone ❤️
