I fell in love the way you fall asleep: slowly, then all at once. Despite the tumour-shrinking medical miracle that has bought her a few years, Hazel has never been anything but terminal, her final chapter inscribed upon diagnosis. But when a gorgeous plot twist named Augustus Waters suddenly appears at Cancer Kid Support Group, Hazel's story is about to be completely rewritten. Insightful, bold, irreverent, and raw, The Fault in Our Stars brilliantly explores the funny, thrilling, and tragic business of being alive and in love. Praise for The Fault in Our Stars: Sunday Times (Culture) 'A touching, often fiercely funny novel' The Sun on Sunday (Fabulous Magazine) 'So good I think it should be compulsory reading for everyone!' Daily Express 'John Green brilliantly captures the voices of a young generation while instilling it with the wisdom of a life that has lived too much yet will never live enough' The Metro - 2013 Best Fiction 'The love affair of two terminally ill teenagers could be mawkish. In fact, it's funny, clever, irreverent and life-affirming.' Grazia 'So good!' Good Housekeeping 'As funny as it is heartbreaking... we defy you not to fall in love with its main characters, Hazel and Augustus.' The Tablet 'A humourous and poignant love story... It's terrifically funny... as well as a moving exploration of loss and grief. And no, it's so much not just for teenage cancer sufferers... it's for everyone.' Bliss 'If you need inspiration when it comes to making the most of a moment, this one is for you' Mizz 'Insightful, bold, irreverent and raw, if this doesn't make you cry, it'll definitely make you think, laugh and maybe even fall in love yourself!'

Well done
I liked this more than I expected. In particular, though the characters on occasion were cliche, overall I found them unique and believable. Lots of humor in a tough situation. And a GREAT title, even if borrowed.

funny and sad
the main characters are very hilarious especially when they are trying to get on each others nerves. but as their tragic circumstances does not improve, their sense of humour seem to be one way of living meaningfully in their last days together. suitable for teenagers who are going through tough times.

I Loved it
I am a 77 year old married male who almost never reads fiction. I heard about the book on NPR and ordered it. I found it to be a very interesting look into the lives of several young people less than one fourth my age who were facing things I can only imagine. I highly recommend this book.

Brilliant!
Characters brought to life with great narration. Laughter and tears make this story one of the most memorable I have read in years.
