The Fault In Our Stars

This was an absolutely beautiful book. It was actually the first, and one of the only, books to make me sob. It was heartbreaking, and I've read it three times since I got it last November. The characters are beautifully written, and absolutely lovable. I can't say much, as I don't want to give away anything, but if you've not read it, you must do so.

This book.......What can I say this book was amazing. I love the way John Green writes, he is witty, humorous, and he tells it how it is. That's one of the things I like in this book is that he doesn't sugar coat it. I've read many books with the "and they lived happily ever after" and this book is the complete opposite of that. You don't always have the perfect relationship or a perfect life, this book deals with real problems that people go through. I loved the characters and I think they where well written compared to some other books I've read. This book just overwhelms you with so many emotions. Yes it was sad but John Green makes it feel okay and that its not the end. Leaving you more that satisfied by the end of the book. I also really love the chemistry all the characters had with each other and ohh my goodness Augustus Waters!! Augustus he just has this attitude about him that you just cant help but fall for and Hazel, she is just so honest, confident, and strong. Honestly Hazel is like a role model, to have the strength she has and who she is just made this book so much more amazing. I loved this book and have recommended it to all of my friends and I believe it is truly a book worth reading.

what to say about a book that deals with things that amny people wouldn't write about.
Hazle ia a young girl which we sould all look up to. i dont have much to say but (fangirling here) FEELS!!!!

“Pain demands to be felt.”

Hazel Grace Lancaster, a terminal cancer patient (“thyroid originally but with an impressive and long-settled satellite colony in (her) lungs”), who uses an oxygen tank wherever she goes, thinks the only think someone should expect of life is dying. But, after a twist ,named Augustus Walters, whose leg was claimed by a bone tumor , appears on her boring routine , her life with take an unpredictable turn. Hazel (she is the narrator of the story) and Augustus meet at a cancer support group. Thou they are “very different and disagreed about a lot of things,” they always find a way to make their relationship interesting.

John Green create such well crafted characters, and an amazing, never boring plot, it’s inevitable not to love this book.
Loved how Gus (Augustus) loves Hazel even thou he know it’s gong to hurt him sooner or later.

“Hazel Grace…it would be a privilege to have my heart broken by you.”

But not only Gus is suffering (but may not show it) with Hazel’s condition, her parents have to deal with the idea that their only daughter is going to died sooner than they thought. It broke my heart how Hazel’s mom thought she “won’t be a mom any more,” after Hazel dies, which is inevitable. Hazel is “the alpha and omega of (their) suffering.”

The Fault in Our Stars is the best love story written , yet. Romeo and Juliet. Who?
John Green made us fall in love with his characters and the story itself.

“It’s easy enough to win over people you meet. But getting strangers to love you…now that’s the trick.”

And in the process (of falling in love with the characters) “we (the readers) were all wounded in (their) battle.” A courageous battle.
Like Hazel says, “the world is not a wish-granting factory.” but (in my opinion) for Gus and her, it made an exception to give their love a “a little infinity.”

“Some infinities are bigger than other infinities.”

Their love was a piece of “forever within the numbered days.” They enjoyed their time together “on a roller coaster that only goes up.’

Thou the book deals with cancer (tragic and sad), it mixes humor without being cruel.

“He’s not that smart,” I said to Julie.
“She’s right. It’s just the most really good-looking people are stupid, so I exceed expectations.”
“Right, it’s primarily his hotness,” I said.
“It can be sort of blinding,” he said.
“It actually did blind our friend Isaac,” I said.
“Terrible tragedy, that. But can I help my own deadly beauty?”
“You cannot.”
“It is my burden, this beautiful face.”
“Not to mention your body.”
“seriously, don’t even get me started on my hot bod. You don’t want to see me naked, Dave. Seeing me naked actually took Hazel Grace’s breath away,” he said, nodding toward the oxygen tank.

This book teach us “the most important lesson of all: No matter how hard you kick, no matter how high you get, you can’t go all the way around.”
I’m thankful for the “little infinity” Green gave me with this lovely story. Still, “my thoughts (about this book) are stars I can’t fathom into constellations.”
Loved this heart-growing book. My heart feels like it’s full and in any minute is going to explode like a grenade. Or it could be all the crying I went through will reading it and after finishing it. 5 (okay maybe 6 or more) Stars

The fault really is in our self. It was this book whom showed us in such a small amount of time we can live a meaningful life. Thank you John Green, Hazel Grace Lancaster, Augustus Waters,Isaac, and everything/everyone else in that entire book.

If I told you what this book was about and the genre you would think I was out of my mind to give it 5 stars. But seriously, I couldn't put it down, it is sarcastic and funny and I think everyone should read it.

The Fault in Our Stars tells the story of Hazel a sixteen year old who survived lung cancer but still is affected by it physically - she has breathing difficulties. Hazel separates herself from the things she did before she had cancer and thus leaving her isolated from the world apart from her (useless) friend. Her mother pushes/forces her to go to a cancer support group (because she spends her time rereading the same book over and over again and because she maybe depressed) and that is where she meets Gus.

I knew from the interactions and the dialogue between Hazel and Gus that their romance was going to be awesome. Even though a lot of people are saying that they speak like 60 year old's or whatever but the way they spoke (I think personally) is like they thought about every word and the impact of it. There was something unique about them, it was like there was meanings to even the simplest words. Even though Hazel tries to push Gus away because she's afraid for herself and for him Gus still breaks through Hazel's walls and they have the shortest and sweetest relationship.

Gus is so sweet, like personally I would never share my wish with anybody and he gives his away to a girl he barely knows. Must be love. What he does to get Hazel to meet her favourite author is just like - flying all the way to Amsterdam - he even writes letters to the author's assistant and his charm made him the only one to get a reply. He took the risk of falling in love even though he knew he would get his heart broken following his past experiences with his ex and his cancer. And when he broke down he called Hazel first, he trusted her.

Okay. What a romantic word. It's like one of the simplest words ever with multiple meanings to it. Using Okay shows that even the most simple things can hold the deepest memories.

Like 99% of the reader I did cry like I promised myself I wouldn't.
I cried when Gus told Hazel and Isaac to read their eulogies. How Gus got through that I have no clue.
I cried when Gus's cancer came back and how it affected him.
I cried when Gus died and Hazel was an emotional wreck.

But - I did smile when Isaac threw eggs at his ex's car with Hazel and Gus cheering him on.

What a great book.

I am glad that this was picked for a book club as otherwise I would not have read it - sometimes you can't help but judge a book by its cover and this one is awful.

I laughed and cried my way through this book, and came out a different person at the end.

The characters are well developed and so so real. You can feel their pain, picture them perfectly. My heart was breaking throughout this whole book. You get so involved with the characters. You can't help it. There is no way you can read this and keep yourself separate from all that's going on.

Although some part of me expected the ending, it still shattered me. Great big gasping sobs, tears rolling down my face, the lot.

This book left me an emotional wreck.

Even months on, I think of this book. I imagine the petals falling down on Amsterdam, I imagine the basement with the video games. I cannot get this book out of my head.

What can I say.......I have read many book so it's hard for me to say I have a favorite book but The Fault In Our Stars is just amazing. This book is extremely touching and I warn you get your tissues! Augustus and Hazel were such beautifully written characters and they are so deep! John Green truly has a gift and he breaks the stereotype that most people think of when they see young adult literature. I absolutely love this book and will continue to happily read it over and over again!

It's all pretty much summed up in "good points".
