I love John Green! This book made me tear up and I couldn't stop crying at the end of the book. It was so sad, but funny at the same time. John Green is an amazing writer. This book made me laugh so hard, but I also cried a lot. I bought all of his books and they're all as good as The Fault In Our Stars.

A haunting tale of love and death. Funny, sad without being soppy, it's a must-read for people young at heart and open to life.
If you like this title you might also like some of his other titles, or Gayle Forman's "If I Stay" and "Where She Went".
Other great John Green titles:
-An Abundance of Katherines
-Looking for Alaska
-Paper Towns
-Will Grayson, Will Grayson
Customer Review
Teenagers consider it as the Titanic love story of their time. There was Romeo and Juliet, Rose and Jack, and now Hazel and Augustus. A solid book. But for me it wasn't only the love story, it was the way John Green created this realistic, terminally ill character. A lot of cancer patients were unhappy with the feel-good parts of the book, because there is nothing good about being very sick.
I think a lot of people oversaw the small, but so true and poignant, scenes in the book. Like Hazel having dinner with her parents on a normal night at home and eating too fast, hence feeling out of breath and starting to worry that her lungs might be filling with water.
If you get this scene you see the other side of this book other than the grand romance.
