My favourite book of all time. I love all John Green's books but this takes the cake. Definitely something you should read.
The best book ever! Even though I wanted to through it across the room when I finished it. I don't. really read realistic fiction that much but if John Green writes it, then it'll be the first on my top read list
This is one of the books that could make this a great hit. Also the movie is going to be next year. So far to watch the movie.
I know. I don't know why they pick Shailene Woodley as Hazel. I mean why!!! But from away the casting, there's lots of treasure in that book just because where tears were dropped into this book.
Ikr, she is from that really bad show called The Secret Life of an American Teenager. Why would u pick her and she's starring as Beatrice or whatever she name is in Divergent
I actually really like the casting! She's a good actress! That's all the really matters! As long as she gets Hazels character down, she's all good!
I love this book but it left me in a saddened state for a about a week because Augustus passed away. But as far as the movie is concerned I am really excited!
I think that this book was wonderful. It was so well-written; I normally get very annoyed with the main characters, but I absolutely loved Augustus (I know that he's not the MAIN character, but he is one of the main characters) and I only got slightly annoyed with Hazel haha.I think that the casting is very good so far for the movie.
I loved this book! I'm not too excited about the cast. I think the movie will be pretty good though.
It's a beautiful book!! Anyone who hasn't read it should pick it up now and start reading!! It was such a wonderful experience....this book, so though-provoking, full of emotions and SO touching....This is not just book....it's an experience. Try it!! And I loved Augustus Waters!!
I hate that show too, but John Green especially like her in the part of Hazel. And she seems good in the previews for Divergent, so just give her a chance.
I enjoyed the book a lot (I cried, oh how I cried), but I'm hesitant to see the movie. I always am. Sometimes the characters are as good or better than how I envisioned them in my head, but sometimes the movie will ruin a book for me.
I honestly hate when people say they don't like it because its overrated. Sure the book sold a lot, but it's not one of those books (twilight,fifty shades) that hits the sales and it's awful. It's amazingly insightful and beautifully poignant.
It was a good read and I enjoyed the story(and cried) but as usual it us another boom thatwas over-hyped. If I knew Hazel and Gus in real life as real people I wouldn't be able to take them seriously as they act like english scholars with the type of language they use! I know the look was to be clever unique teenagers, but a very few amount of real teenagers ever talk in that way?? I did like the characters over than that!
I hate to be the odd one out, but I didn't love this book. Yeah, it was good and the prose was beautiful, but it didn't seem to me like a teenager would talk or think like that. It just didn't seem very realistic. I also ended up lending it to two of my closest friends to see if they might enjoy it. They're both survivors of serious cancers and they both told me that the book was unrealistic in that area as well. Maybe other people who've had direct or indirect experiences with cancer, terminal or otherwise, would disagree, but that's their opinions. I'm not trying to bash anyone for liking it, we all have different book interests. I just wanted to share my opinion.
This is for sure my favorite book ! <3 And i loved the movie too. I cried so much when i read the book and also when i saw the movie ! Really an amazing book! :)
I did not love this book like everyone else did. Everyone in my school became obsessed over it, and my friend agrees that it`s because all the people in my school who loved it had never read a good book in their lives. It wasn`t a terrible book, I just wasn`t a big fan of it. Also, I feel like I`m so used to fictional books like The Mortal Instruments and Percy Jackson that realistic fiction was kind of boring for me.
