I fell in love the way you fall asleep: slowly, then all at once.
Despite the tumour-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 brilliantly explores the funny, thrilling, and tragic business of being alive and in love.

Grazia
'So good!'
Good Housekeeping
'As funny as it is heartbreaking... we defy you not to fall in love with its main characters, Hazel and Augustus.'
The Tablet
'A humourous and poignant love story... It's terrifically funny... as well as a moving exploration of loss and grief. And no, it's so much not just for teenage cancer sufferers... it's for everyone.'

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
If there's a knock on John Green (and it's more of a light tap considering he's been recognized twice by the Printz committee) it's that he keeps writing the same book: nerdy guy in unrequited love with impossibly gorgeous girl, add road trip. His fourth novel departs from that successful formula to even greater success: this is his best work yet. Narrator Hazel Grace Lancaster, 16, is (miraculously) alive thanks to an experimental drug that is keeping her thyroid cancer in check. In an effort to get her to have a life (she withdrew from school at 13), her parents insist she attend a support group at a local church, which Hazel characterizes in an older-than-her-years voice as a "rotating cast of characters in various states of tumor-driven unwellness." Despite Hazel's reluctant presence, it's at the support group that she meets Augustus Waters, a former basketball player who has lost a leg to cancer. The connection is instant, and a (doomed) romance blossoms. There is a road trip Augustus, whose greatest fear is not of death but that his life won't amount to anything, uses his "Genie Foundation" wish to take Hazel to Amsterdam to meet the author of her favorite book. Come to think of it, Augustus is pretty damn hot. So maybe there's not a new formula at work so much as a gender swap. But this iteration is smart, witty, profoundly sad, and full of questions worth asking, even those like "Why me?" that have no answer. Ages 14 up.

Heartbreakingly beautiful
This book is amazing. I've read other John green books prior to this one and this one takes the price any day. The character build and presentation is flawless. I think that, being a teenage girl myself, if you can write a book from the perspective of a teenage girl, as a 30-40 something man, you can write! It's one of those books that keeps you up to the morning hours. The plot twist at the end is so smart and heartbreaking. Yeah, an overall fantastic book. One of my favorites :)

This is the most perfect book I have ever read.
Amazingly amazing
You have to read this. You have to. It's amazing and emotional. When I read it there were so many emotions going through me and I was flooding in amazingness. Just the way she thinks about him and the way she thinks in general makes me want her to be with me. I love the characters and I could not put this book down. I finished it in a day and I cried my heart out at the end in the middle of the night. My dad had to come check on me an why i was crying. This book is truly amazing and there will never be a book like it. Right now I am starting paper towns but I can tell it won't be as good. I loved this book too much. Okay.
