A poorly written book with a touching story. It's just a shame, since John Green himself is an admirable man, and the overall plot of the book was alright. He could have done better.
The dialogue is completely awful. The characters are unrealistic and boring, and some parts of the story I find quite inappropriate (the kiss in the museum, the fact that Hazel's mother let Augustus and her venture to a strange author's house by themselves, the fact that Van Houton led a terminally ill girl and a terminally ill boy all the way to Amsterdam, etc).
The ending was unoriginal, abrupt and somewhat unsatisfying to me. It was not an engaging book for me, and was a total and utter disappointment. The hype is undeserved.
(I do not have ANYTHING against people fighting or who have fought cancer, though, please let me make that clear. I have had people in my own family of whom had fought cancer. Believe me, I understand the matter of it. I just personally found the book disappointing.)
