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
--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
Book Description
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.

Great book, but unsigned...,
This review is from: The Fault in Our Stars (Hardcover)
I gave the book 5 stars because it is worth it!I give to Amazon.ca: -10 stars. Why didn't you order enough copies of the signed book.. you had the pre-order numbers already! I am very disappointed that the signed first printing book I ordered back in August, was in fact an unsigned second, thrid, fourth, fifth, printing...

Beautiful Work of Fiction,

This review is from: The Fault in Our Stars (Hardcover)
What a beautiful book. Green has found the truth, deep sadness and lots of humour in the story of teenagers living with cancer. His prose is delicious, literate, poetic and but with a forward momentum that makes it impossible to put the book down. This a book with big ideas and is ultimately life affirming.It was an equally great read for my teenage nerd-fighting daughter and for me. I highly recommend it. I hate to sully my review for this wonderful book by mentioning the massive failure of Amazon.ca to deliver on the promise of signed copies but there is no place else to mention it. Epic fail. It will make me think twice about ordering from Amazon ever again. But I am a fan for life of John Green.

Inspiring,

This review is from: The Fault in Our Stars (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.
