I read this book in my teens and it didn't make me any less sad as an adult. I had forgotten about Augustus and was thrown off in the worst way possible. John Green really knows how to rip your heart out.

I must be in the minority of those who didn't care for this book. I read it because my ten year old daughter asked to read it. The messages that this book gives young people bothered me about love and sex. I did think the author captured the dark humor that comes with having a terminal illness. Suffice it to say I told my daughter I would put it away until she was old enough to read it.

John Green takes us on a journey of terminal illness and coming of age. The dialogue alone in this story is worth the read. The characters are deep and funny and very relatable at certain points. Be warned, this is a heartbreaker and you will feel all the feels but it is so well done it's a good one to read multiple times.

I must admit, I was cautious reading this book, the reviews and the upmost emotional heartbreak that people have experienced from this book certainly scared me. But to say that John Green has a way of making the most tragic piece of literary artwork the most power and beautiful thing I've ever read just proves how amazing he is.
