" Finished the book at 12:29 a.m. I felt complete. Complete as in full of emotions or say it felt a lost part of jigsaw puzzle got in place. The characters are adorable and though I knew it's ending before but I couldn't resist to shed a tear at August Finished the book at 12:29 a.m. I felt complete. Complete as in full of emotions or say it felt a lost part of jigsaw puzzle got in place. The characters are adorable and though I knew it's ending before but I couldn't resist to shed a tear at Augustus Water's death.

Hazel Grace who now I do only imagine as Shailene Woodley is inspiring to me. Though if the character of the book herself find my verdict as another drop in the ocean, I love the way she is taking the problems and bad stuffs in life humorously. The book is about cancer kids but still it do made me laugh at many points even if it showcasing the misery, that is what I would say I really liked in john's way of narration. He is a lovely story teller to me now.

I remember how obsessed I was when I came to know about this book through it's trailer prior to my examinations and all I could think about is this book, the story and ho would I get this. I used to replay the trailer many times and my smile after every time I watch it,"This story is so adorable, I can't wait to know what it is". I could have watched the movie last Sunday with my friends but to watch the movie without completing the book would be an insult to green's book.

I loved the book the characters and the actors imagining whom I read the whole story. I might write as well now. My friend believe that I can write fiction or something which would be worth reading. That is a big thing for me, I actually have to re-read that text to believe it.

Before I feel I was reading the book to comfort myself as in that someone's life could be worse than me but it showed that one not have too pity herself/himself or the things they are facing because there is no point of crying on things that already bad rather we can make small efforts to change it as a whole big situation and if it's like situation we can't like the one hazel had then simply accept it. Because if you don't do that you will always stuck there and won't be able to move on, just like hazel was afraid that her parents won't be able to do anything as their major part of life spend just to look after her.

This is my first review for any book. But I hope I've done justice to it. ...more "

Syeda’s Quotes

“If you build the guts to do something, anything, then you better save enough to face the consequences.”
― Criss Jami, Killosophy

“There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,
There is a rapture on the lonely shore,
There is society, where none intrudes,
By the deep Sea, and music in its roar:
I love not Man the less, but Nature more,
From these our interviews, in which I steal
From all I may be, or have been before,
To mingle with the Universe, and feel
What I can ne’er express, yet cannot all conceal.”
― Lord Byron, Childe Harold's Pilgrimage
