CRITICAL ACCLAIM FOR THE FAULT IN OUR STARS "Damn near genius . . . The Fault in Our Stars is a love story, one of the most genuine and moving ones in recent American fiction, but it's also an existential tragedy of tremendous intelligence and courage and sadness." --Lev Grossman, TIME Magazine "This is a book that breaks your heart--not by wearing it down, but by making it bigger until it bursts."--The Atlantic "A story about two incandescent kids who will live a long time in the minds of the readers who come to know them."
--People "Remarkable . . . A pitch-perfect, elegiac comedy."
--USA Today "A smarter, edgier Love Story for the Net Generation."
--Family Circle "Because we all need to feel first love again. . . . Sixteen-year-old Hazel faces terminal cancer with humor and pluck. But it isn't until she meets Augustus in a support group that she understands how to love or live fully."
--Oprah.com, a Best Book selection and one of "5 Books Every Woman Needs to Read Before Her Next Birthday" "[Green's] voice is so compulsively readable that it defies categorization. You will be thankful for the little infinity you spend inside this book."
--NPR.org "Hilarious and heartbreaking . . . reminds you that sometimes when life feels like it's ending, it's actually just beginning."
--Parenting magazine "John Green deftly mixes the profound and the quotidian in this tough, touching valentine to the human spirit."
--The Washington Post "[Green] shows us true love--two teenagers helping and accepting each other through the most humiliating physical and emotional ordeals--and it is far more romantic than any sunset on the beach."
--New York Times Book Review "In its every aspect, this novel is a triumph."
--Booklist, starred review
"You know, even as you begin the tale of their young romance, that the end will be 100 kinds of awful, not so much a vale as a brutal canyon of tears. . . . Green's story of lovers who aren't so much star-crossed as star-cursed leans on literature's most durable assets: finely wrought language, beautifully drawn characters and a distinctive voice."
--Frank Bruni, The New York Times "A novel of life and death and the people caught in between, The Fault in Our Stars is John Green at his best. You laugh, you cry, and then you come back for more."
--Markus Zusak, bestselling and Printz Honor-winning author of The Book Thief "The Fault in Our Stars takes a spin on universal themes--Will I be loved? Will I be remembered? Will I leave a mark on this world?--by dramatically raising the stakes for the characters who are asking."
--Jodi Picoult, bestselling author of My Sister's Keeper and Sing You Home "John Green is one of the best writers alive."
--E. Lockhart, National Book Award Finalist and Printz Honor-winning author of The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks and We Were Liars

I absolutely loved reading this book! Before purchasing this much talked about book I was more curious than hesitant about what I could learn from the characters presented, how they live there lives, thier adventures interactions with one another and how they deal with having cancer and other illnesses. A very inspring book that teaches you to love yourself, traveling can be a life changing adventure, love and appreciation for family and friends, not giving up up on your dreams, a sense of humour is helpful and comforting when eduring an illness, experiences are more fufilling than what most material items can provide and every indivudal deserves to have a friend. Highly reccommend this book for young, middle aged and old.
Good Book
