The Fault in Our Stars by John Green

5.0

My first John Green book, though I'd heard a lot about him. I was a little wary, because often such popular authors/books/movies don't live up to the hype. In this case, he exceeded my expectations. After two pages I was hooked, staying up all night to finish the book. There were so many things I thought might happen, but I didn't want to wait and let my imagination run wild - I had to know what was going to happen. The characters are so realistic I knew them, I was in their world. The book is well-written and easy to read quickly, but it's worth savoring. Never have I read a book that can make me cry (without being overly sentimental) and then make me laugh hysterically through my tears just a sentence later. Highly recommended.
