Ok, if you haven’t read this book, WHAT ARE YOU DOING????!!!!!???? SUMMARY: Hazel has cancer. She has had it for a while now, and it doesn’t look like it’s getting any better. She is taking her meds, and attending support group. Her life is pretty predictable. But during one support group meeting, she meets Augustus—a kind and compassionate young man who is a cancer veteran. Augustus is a sophisticated young man; he is scared of oblivion, “smokes” cigarettes, but doesn’t light them because it is a metaphor. ” You put the killing thing in your mouth, but don’t let it do the killing.” As Hazel starts hanging out with Augustus, “she falls in love with him the way he falls asleep; slowly, then all at once.” Hazel introduces him to her favorite book, An Imperial Affliction, and he is soon engrossed in it as well, and the rapid end of the book has them searching for answers. As much a love story as a story centered about a book, this heartstring-tugging cancer love story WILL make you cry. THOUGHTS: I can not even begin to tell you how much I loved this book. I just can’t. It was SO FLIPPING GOOD. It is a perfect book. Beautiful. I don’t know where to begin. Okay, okay (haha, lol). John Green’s writing was incredible. You can tell that he is sage and knows how to write—because this novel was written flawlessly. The characters were so real and you fell in love with them as they did each other. To give you an idea—I did cry. See picture at bottom. This book is definitely a “feels” book. Augustus is a genuine character; a caring, metaphor-loving, honest, meaningful person. I thought it was really cool that this book was kind of partly centered around this one book that they both loved. It was pretty cool, seeing them trying to get in contact with the secluded author. This book had so many perfect quotes—I highlighted so many passages from the book on my Kindle. I can not stop raving about this book, and I am so excited to see the movie because I want more TFIOS in my life. It is going to make me cry even more than the book made me cry. I loved this book so much and I can not wait to pick up Paper Towns, which I just got!
A young love story of two cancer patients who's stars cross for the better.
best book ever
i think it's cool!!!!
NO faults, all STARS! Check in with parents before reading this as it is a Young Adult novel with grown up topics: love, death, & life
Amazing, amazing, amazing! John Green is a spectacular author! It's a love story about two kids with cancer, but it's not about the cancer. Hazel Grace was an amazing choice of a character. She made me laugh and made me cry. Sometimes both at the same time! A must read for teens and adults!
It is so heart warming i feel like i am going to burst into tears I haven't read the whole book so i don't know if I should think Augustust is a great pair for Hazel and he is sweet and i hope Hazel thinks of him in her dreams just while he was dead though?
well its good but not really for boys and its defiantly sad plus i wouldn't give it to under 12
It is so heart warming i feel like i am going to burst into tears!!
