Book Description

Jan 10 2012 Indies Choice Book Awards. Young Adult Fiction

Amazon.ca Editors' Pick: Best Books of 2012

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.

TIME Magazine
“Damn near genius. . . . Simply devastating. . . . Fearless in the face of powerful, uncomplicated, unironized emotion.”

People, 4 out of 4 stars
“[Green] delivers more than a collectible …with keen observation and empathy…producing a story about two incandescent kids who will live a long time in the minds of the readers who come to know them.”

Entertainment Weekly
“Funny…Poignant…Luminous.”

USA Today
“A pitch perfect, elegiac comedy.”

Family Circle
“A smarter, edgier Love Story for the Net Generation.”

NPR.org
“Green writes books for young adults, but his voice is so compulsively readable that it defies categorization. He writes for youth, rather than to them, and the difference is palpable….You will be thankful for the little infinity you spend inside this book.”

New York Times Book Review
“[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.”

The Washington Post
“What makes this novel compelling is not a thrill-a-minute plot but the authenticity of characters deeply engaged in trying to live ‘forever within the numbered days.’ John Green deftly mixes the profound and the quotidian in this tough, touching valentine to the human spirit.”

Sacramento Bee
“Perfect in every way.”

Starred review, Booklist
“In its every aspect, this novel is a triumph.”

Starred review, School Library Journal
“An achingly beautiful story about life and loss.”
 
Starred review, Horn Book
“Acerbic comedy, sexy romance, and a lightly played, extended meditation on the big questions about life and death.”
 
Starred review, Kirkus
"A smartly crafted intellectual explosion of a romance….Carefully structured dialogue and razor-sharp characters brim with genuine intellect, humor and desire.”
 
“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, New York Times–bestselling author of My Sister’s Keeper and Sing You Home
 

Review

“An electric portrait of young people who learn to live life with one foot in the grave. Filled with staccato bursts of humor and tragedy, 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, author of My Sister’s Keeper and Sing You Home

"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

"John Green writes incredible, honest truths about the secret, weird hearts of human beings. He makes me laugh and gasp at the beauty of a sentence or the twist of a tale. He is one of the best writers alive and I am seething with envy of his talent." --E. Lockhart, National Book Award Finalist and Printz Honor­winning author of The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau Banks and The Boyfriend List

5.0 out of 5 stars Inspiring Jan 18 2012
Format:Hardcover
This book gave me Feelings.

It is rare that a book actually moves me to tears. I am a connoisseur of the depressing, I live for reading about the pain and struggle that people experience every day because to me, that is the truest expression of reality. John Green's books do not disappoint me. They never lie, they present the truth and life exactly as how it is lived. They do not take themselves too seriously, but they do not allow the lighthearted moments to outshine the message that is the struggle of human life.

I am amazed.

I got this book yesterday - customers who are upset please do not mark down the work and instead contact your seller or John himself, I implore you not to let your dissatisfaction with this service mar the reputation of this book - and upon opening the package I found it impossible to put it down. I barreled through and I'm planning to read it again in fear that I may have missed something the first time around. I feel connected with Hazel, with Augustus, with Isaac and with her parents. I look at them and see people I've known, people who have struggled on despite overwhelming odds, people who have lost battles and feared that it was all for nothing. People who feared that they had hurt too much when it was over. This book is reality.

I wish I could say more. I wish I could wax prose about the fantastic characters, the plot, how I could not predict the ending and how I'm sitting here, hugging myself and sobbing quietly because this book inspires thought and causes the reader to question who they are and what it is they will leave behind, but I can't. This is something that is best left to the reader to decide and define.

I mark this book as five not because I am a Nerdfighter, not because John Green is an inspiration to me, but because this message has been so powerful that I am left breathless.

I recommend this book to everyone. Young, old and inbetween.

5.0 out of 5 stars review of FIOS
This was probably the best book I've read in a long time. It starts off witty and easy to read, but then quickly turns very heavy and emotional and I don't think I've cried this... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars After thousands of books, I have read a triumph.
It isn't in what you write, it's who you write. John has written victors, they're triumphant and wonderful. His plot is exactly what you exit and everything you could dream for. Read more
