The Fault in Our Stars by John Green

I listened to the audiobook. I have a love-hate relationship with audiobooks, because well... I have to listen to that person's voice for about ten hours straight. So if the narrator has a weird accent or an annoying voice I just can't listen to it. Even if it's the best book in the world! It just annoys me too much.
Also, I'm pretty easily distracted, so sometimes I just tune the audiobook out, and then after a while I don't follow the story anymore, and then I can't figure out at which point I stopped listening...
However, I really liked this audiobook. The girl has a really nice voice, and I felt like it really fit Hazel's character. She didn't sound too old or too young. (That really annoys me as well, with audiobooks!)

I didn't really expect to like this book... I don't know why. I have that a lot with super-popular books. I'm just afraid that I won't like them as much as everyone else does, I guess... I was a little afraid that this book would be kind of depressing, because everyone was talking about how sad it was and that it made them cry, but it actually had a lot more lighthearted and funny moments than I thought. It did make me cry, though.

Augustus' funeral was heartbreaking!

I had never read a John Green book before, but I like his writing style. I definitely want to read more of his books now.
