Despite the tumor-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 is award-winning-author John Green’s most ambitious and heartbreaking work yet, brilliantly exploring the funny, thrilling, and tragic business of being alive and in love.
To be honest I think it was just a bit boring. It's been called "so much more than a cancer book", but it's not. It's a cancer book with romance, and that's it. It's not a bad book , just not one I was invested in.
I mostly got annoyed by the characters. August and Hazel are some kind of uber-nerds that talk as if they swallowed a dictionary. I was okay with that, although I did skip plenty of parts when they went off on some existential discussions. Basically any part written by Van Houten (the writer guy) I completely skipped, because his writing was completely obnoxious.
In the end I quite disliked Hazel, and I wasn't convinced their romance was more than a crush.
