One of the best novels I've read in a long time. The characters are insanely well thought out and the subject matter is so straightforward. John Green really knows what he's doing and really knows how to get a persons mind thinking. He also knows how to make a reader laugh, smile, cry, or think. There's so many emotions coming out of one book, it was hard to put it down at one point/ I ended up having to go somewhere, got in the car with the book, read it on the way there, stayed in the car while there, was still reading it while leaving, and finished it just before getting back home. It was one of those books where you end it and just sit there and think. Part of me wanted more but another part of me was greatly satisfied. Kudos, John Green.
2.5 stars
John Green just doesn’t do it for me.
The Fault In Our Stars wasn’t terrible. I liked most of the characters. The problem is that like is about as strong of a word I felt towards this book as a whole.
Going in, I knew The Fault In Our Stars has received boatloads of hype over the past couple of years. I was told this book was guaranteed to make me laugh, cry, and fall over myself with emotion. Even hearing this, my expectations weren’t very high because I knew I wasn’t a huge John Green fan.
When thinking about everything, the problem is that I’m more attached to the character’s stories than the characters themselves. Hazel and Augustus came off as a little bit pretentious to me, but I liked them nonetheless. (The one thing I loved about this book was Isaac)
Nothing about the way the plot progressed really stood out to me, and maybe I’m slow, but what was the purpose of Peter Van Houten and his plotline?
Over all, I didn’t find this at all humorous, and I was really shocked that I didn’t cry. (I’m the biggest book crier out there, so that said something about my feelings towards this book.)
Feel free to call me heartless, but John Green’s writing doesn’t click with me. I can appreciate that Green wrote a book about kids with terminal illnesses, but that doesn’t mean I have to love every word of it.

the two final sentences made my heart drop to my stomach. Shit.
This is a really good book. It's very sad but definitely one of the best YA fiction that exists. If you enjoyed reading Judy Blume books, you will enjoy this book. the main characters are likable and intelligent.
