The Fault in Our Stars in Reading between the wines

This is a story about Hazel and about how no child should ever have to grow up before they have to.

I loved everything about this story...even though there were sad parts and the subject matter is very difficult for some people, Mr. Green did an exceptional job at taking on us on a journey of life, love and death.

Hazel is a teenager battling cancer, she meets Augustus (who is in remission) and her life is forever changed.

Together they form a bond and take an incredible journey.

Okay. I understand why this was named one of 2012's best works of fiction. I cried and opened my eyes, to a lovely beautiful heartbreaking tale that some how still feels uplifting. They were perfectly imperfect, as we all are.

I don't think I have ever cried so hard reading a book. I loved these characters and connected with them in such a way that made me grieve when this book was over. So touching. I can't imagine being one of the many families that go though this this situation every single day. God bless them. Difficult subject matter relating to kids with cancer and dealing with life and death. John green did a great job expressing this and I am looking forward to the film. (Bonus it was Filmed in Pittsburgh) ...more

One of the most beautiful books ever, I don´t like to read sad stories because I believe there is too much sadness in the real world already but this one even when is sad make you see the things in a whole new light. I learned that no matter how large is the scar you left in the world there is someone who is going to remember you and that infinities are larger than other infinities
Sometimes is good to read about real life and real problems
Love the book <3

Wow. Just wow. I bought this book at 2:30 yesterday and I finished it at 11am. It is such an amazing, funny, beautiful, hideous, truthful, intelligent, wounding, miserable, and truthful book. It plays with your emotions; makes you think things you've never thought, feel thinks you've never wanted to feel but are glad you do. One of the top 5 books I've ever read. ...more
