I thought this was the best book I have ever read. It always kept me wanting to read more and never bored me for a second. I was interested the whole time d I honestly didn't want the book to end. I loved the fact that it always kept you on your toes, made you think, and had a lot of different emotions going on at the same time. I also like how there were reasons for everything and how they all tied into the story.
First off, let me be clear that I like John Green. He's hilarious and I'm sure if I personally knew him than he'd be my best buddy.
Now, that being said let me also state this: this is my opinion and I know John Green has a major fan army on his side, but I have to be honest with my review.
The story did what it was supposed to: draw you in, make you feel for the characters and cry. Crying indeed, but we know that can't be all to a story. The idea behind it is great! When Hazel talked about her cancer it felt real and I knew everything was right based on terms and information.
That is not my problem with this book.
The characters were real. I felt connected to Hazel as any other teenager would. I get her anger, maturity and odd thoughts that she ended up speaking about. Eggs only for breakfast? I know for a fact I've said the same thing.
Augustus for me seemed... different, but a good different. He went through loosing his leg but still has a happy grin on his face as he goes through life. I only wish I felt connected to him as much as I did with Hazel.
Ok, now with my actual problem with the story, to which I'm sure you are wondering about.
The writing.
Don't get me wrong now, as I said he does draw you in but I don't know how many times I shook my head or rolled my eyes with the writing. Random caps, she/he said too many times in one paragraph. I don't know, it could be me but that irked me.
I honestly don't understand the hype of this story. Yes, it had emotion and spoke like a real teenager but other than that? I read stories about teens with cancer all the time, what makes this so different?
Hear this though before I get eggs thrown at my house, I would recommend this book for others to read, but I won't be pushing it on people.
*3 and half stars.

I think I might have just missed something over maybe I rushed but I hated this book. I couldn’t get behind it and every sentence just gave me a huge ick. Do not recommend 😡!
