The Fault in Our Stars by John Green
5.0
Ok, I realize that (most) teenagers are not this clever and/or witty, and that there was probably some emotional manipulation going on, but I don't care. I love this book. I do think that while I would most definitely recommend it to a young adult reader, that the true richness of the story might only come thru to a parent or to a person with more life experience than a typical kid - which is ok! Very highly recommended.
*You are so busy being you that you have no idea how utterly unprecedented you are.*
*I already knew too many dead people. I knew that time would pass for me differently than it did for him - that I, like everyone in that room, would go on accumulating loves and losses while he would not. And for me, that was the final and truly unbearable tragedy: Like all the innumerable dead, he'd once and for all been demoted from haunted to haunter.*
*But I couldn't see it again, and it occurred to me that the voracious ambition of humans is never sated by dreams coming true, because there is always the thought that everything might be done better and again.*
