An exTREMELY overrated book and movie. Not even as sad as people say it is (yes, I am human) Was pretty disappointed when I first read the book cause of all the hype and "OMG I bawled my eyes out and used up all the tissues!" around it. It wAS a good book, but idek what all the craziness was about...

Me; yeahh....it was.....g...ood......

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.)

Person 2: "Yes, I did."
Person 1: "ITS FUCKING AMAZING, RIGHT!??"
Person 2: "Read Lord Of The Rings and talk to me again later."

An overappreciated book written by John Green. It tells the hard-to-believe story of a sixteen-year-girl battling stage four thyroid cancer, obsessed with a book about a girl in a similar situation. Then she meets a guy called Augustus, whose storyline is as easily predictable as the fact that they hook up. The ultimate goal of the book is to make teenage girls cry, then buy the book and the movie and cry some more, all the while when John Green is sitting in his house, getting richer and richer. This book has yet to make a lasting impression on someone who is not an emotional teenager.
Example 1:
Person 1: Hey, did you finish reading The Fault In Our Stars?
Person 2: Yes.
Person 1: So, how was it?
Person 2: Meh.
Example 2: After Lila finished reading The Fault In Our Stars, she announced on social media she did not like it. The following day, her house was burnt down by fanatic, mass-culture obsessed teenagers.
