The Fault in Our Stars

Chorei de mais, infinitamente demais! De acordar com olheiras.
300stars/5stars
Mas nunca mais conseguiria ler o final sem pensar em Augustus Waters como o cara mais perfeito que partiu cedo demais.

I cried. I cried like a little baby. John Green is such a talented writer, and it really shows

If I had to choose a single book to call my favorite, this would be it.

most people: omg i cried so hard over this book!!! this was so sad!!!!!

me, who doesn't emote easily: ...i forced myself to cry so i didn't look like a sociopath-

I had heard a lot about this book and finally decided to read it. I flew through this book. The writing was magnificent and the story was sad but easy to follow. The ending was bound to happen but was sad to see. Overall it's an amazing book with good characters. I would recommend this book to anyone.

Didn't like it. The story is OK, characters are OK, but it seems that the author is trapped in a revolving door: not because the story spins around cancer, that's logical, but because characters spin around the same things all the God dawn time. The same book, the same band, the same foreign dude, the same video games, the same common places. By the half of the book, it feels previsible and too easy, like if the author just ran out of ideas. People have some fixations in real life, give you that one, but usually read a couple of books and listen to a couple of bands and play to a couple of video games... not just ONE of each category.

People reading? Same book all the time.
Background music? Same freaking band all the time.
No fresh stimulus, ever.

It's just not believable.

I couldn't stop thinking about this book, so I read it again right away. Powerful and heartbreaking.

I read and I cried and enjoyed the afternoon it took to read this book. Unlike other emotionally evocative reads, I doubt this will be of those books that will last in my consciousness.
I gave the book three stars, because I think the novel accomplished its goal of communicating the emotions surrounding the lives and deaths of young people.

sobbed while reading this in physics class

but the plot twist or the tragic twist might I say was not unexpected as I once flipped through the book in a bookstore and spoiled myself so

I remember buying into the hype and never understanding the need for the Amsterdam plotline and being madly in love with one particular sentence. good times.

This book touched me so deeply. It opens your mind up and makes you think I things you may have never considered before. The relationship between the two main characters is so honest and realistic. The most not cliche book I have ever read. It seems so real. Like it is all really happening right before you. Amazing.

Incredibly touching and just an all around great love story.

They're not real, so why does it hurt so much??

Oh boy... I love this book, I love it so much, but I've just cried like a baby the whole reading...

The fault in our stars by john green is a heartbreaking yet uplifting novel, about two teenagers, hazel grace lancaster and augustus waters who meet at a cancer support group hazel, who has terminal thyroid cancer, is reluctant to get close to anyone but augustus, a charming and optimistic boy who lost a leg due to austerosacoma changes her perspective on love and life together, they embark on a journey to meet hazel's favorite author fitting to unexpected heartbreak and profound realizations about love loss and the meaning of life.

❝Sometimes, you read a book and it fills you with this weird evangelical zeal, and you become convinced that the shattered world will never be put back together unless and until all living humans read the book.❞

J'ai adoré. La plume de John Green est magique! Ni trop simple, ni trop littéraire. Il a un style d'écriture léger et fluide, avec des expressions magnifiques. Mon dieu, j'ai tout simplement adoré. C'est un livre qui m'a fait voyagé, qui m'a fait beaucoup réfléchir aussi. J'avais l'impression de ne faire qu'un avec Hazel, de vivre de ce qu'elle vivait à travers ses yeux et de ressentir ses émotions. Le Cancer est un thème qui englobe tout le roman... Un thème auquel je suis énormément sensible, mais qui n'est pas abordé avec désespoir et qui ne tombe pas dans le mélodramatique. Ce livre est rempli d'humour, de vie et d'optimisme. On s'attache facilement aux personnages, on rêve avec eux, on pleure avec eux...

Un ÉNORME coup de cœur pour cette oeuvre.

❝Much of my life had been devoted to trying not to cry in front of people who loved me, so I knew what Augustus was doing. You clench your teeth. You look up. You tell yourself that if they see you cry, it will hurt them, and you will be nothing but a Sadness in their lives, and you must not become a mere sadness, so you will not cry, and you say all of this to yourself while looking up at the ceiling, and then you swallow even though your throat does not want to close and you look at the person who loves you and smile.❞

sobbing...

I will try my best to remember fourteen dead people everyday.

thank you John Green xx

Hated this book with a burning passion. Terrible writing, terrible and annoying characters. And before you come at me- yes, I read it when I was 14, and no it was still shitty to me.

Very YA, with all the angst. But also very sweet and sad. The funny and quirky narrative helps with the moodiness and tragedy that simmer under the surface, waiting to swallow you. The structure was rather simple and somewhat predictable but it's OK. I cried several times. NOT the best book to be reading when your pet is in hospital.

I have never cried harder than I did when I read this masterpiece. Augustus and Hazel are ( yes, I will write them in present tense) my fav couple. And OMG when Augustus wanted to attend his own funeral and Hazel gave that eulogy i just was out of words.

Currently rereading and rewatching a bunch of things i loved as a teen. Even though i am v. familiar with all the ideas that are discussed in this book (which some people find pretentious). They still hold up okay so despite internet discourse It wasn't embarassing that i liked this book a lot when i was 17. I started reading it on a whim today ( good old procrastination) and i practically inhaled it. It made me feel too many feelings all at once just like the first time i read it. It has some phenomenal scenes that still got to me.
Most well done aspect of the book-
Hazel and Augustus'smixture of weakness and strength that was one of the things that made these characters in the book so likeable and instantly lovable.

Beautiful story of Hazel and Augustus. The book is 10/10.

I feared this would be one of those overhyped YA books and read it only because my daughter was reading it, and I figured, why not, we could talk about it after.

To my surprise, it turned out to be really good, touching and funny and sad and everything you would hope it to be. Hazel is a charming and engaging narrator who makes what could be an over sentimental story reasonably grounded.

If I have any minor quibble with the book it's that Hazel's favorite writer, Peter Van Houten was a caricature, out of place in a novel full of believable characters. It was completely unbelievable to me that he'd show up for Gus's funeral Giving Green the benefit of the doubt, there must have been some literary device or point to this that escaped me.

This was an unexpected pleasure. I even teared up a few times when reading, an event which rarely occurs.

A bit unfortunate that I already knew what was going to happen at the end along with some other key points in the story which makes it hard to connect with the characters due to no emotional stakes being involved just a downside of popular media especially with the release of the film it was hard to avoid all that stuff. Still, I thought I should give the book a try I liked it for the most part thought it dragged on a little unnecessarily towards the end but it's a good short read. Also important to mention it was simple to read which I really appreciate.

Spoilers really are the worst when it comes to emotional attachment to the characters and overall plot but over the years, I have learned to not make a very big deal out of them. So yes, maybe I didn't care much about the characters but that doesn't mean I can't understand why this book became popular and had a huge impact. It provided this unique and devastating point of view of two people very much aware of the limited amount of time they have with each other which didn't dissuade them from appreciating life, the little things about it and especially one another. For that I applaud the book.

Given the theme, this was never going to be a happy novel. No great surprises but well written with sensitivity.
