Ratings and reviews

I can't describe how is it amazing , I watched the movie many times and then I decided to read the book. If you want to read the book or watch the movie , really you should put a big box of tissues. Despite the fact that I watched the movie several times but every time it makes me cry , even when I read the book I know what is going to happen but I cried when I finished the book . Really it is so powerful and whatever what would happen it will always be one of my favourite books ever 💗

After reading this book, it became my favorite! I have never read a John Green book and I'm proud to say this was my first. It's definitely a tear jerker and VERY unpredictable. So many amazing quotes and John Green seriously did an amazing job.

Before I rave about this book, let me tell you: It's 2:44am and my mother has been yelling at me to go shower and sleep for the past four hours. I started reading on my way home at 10pm, and I just could not put it down. I was really that captivated by the storyline, and by the main characters' charm. The Fault in Our Stars is a humorous, touching story about what it means to live. What it means to love. What it means to make your mark on those who live on, even if you're just dying of "unheroic" illness. And anyone who has loved someone dearly -- or even just WATCHED/READ someone love someone dearly (in movies, books, TV shows, comic books, etc.), would be able to relate to the beautiful words Green etches on these pages. This book is magical, not only because of the plotline or the characters. The literary references, the words of Peter Van Houten, and the author's philosophy on the world of fiction itself -- are all truly amazing. The Fault in Our Stars will have you laughing hysterically at some parts, and sobbing like your cat (or dog, or zebra; because you never know what pets people keep nowadays) just died at others. If you haven't picked this book up already, I really suggest that you do. 10/10, would read again. I haven't enjoyed the act of crying so much for a very long time.
