Description

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 is award-winning author John Green's most ambitious and heartbreaking work yet, brilliantly exploring the funny, thrilling, and tragic business of being alive and in love.

John Green is the best-selling author of Looking for Alaska; An Abundance of Katherines; Paper Towns; Will Grayson, Will Grayson.

The reviewers say:

‘A novel of life and death and the people caught in between, The Fault in Our Stars is John Green at his best. You laugh, you cry, and then you come back for more.’ Markus Zusak, bestselling and Printz Honor-winning author of The Book Thief

‘An electric portrait of young people who learn to live life with one foot in the grave. Filled with staccato bursts of humor and tragedy, The Fault in Our Stars takes a spin on universal themes-Will I be loved? Will I be remembered? Will I leave a mark on this world?-by dramatically raising the stakes for the characters who are asking.’ Jodi Picoult, bestselling author of My Sister's Keeper and Sing You Home

‘John Green writes incredible, honest truths about the secret, weird hearts of human beings. He makes me laugh and gasp at the beauty of a sentence or the twist of a tale. He is one of the best writers alive and I am seething with envy of his talent.’ E. Lockhart, National Book Award Finalist and Printz Honor-winning author of The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau Banks and The Boyfriend List.

Review by Victoria on 26th January, 2012
5 stars "A must-read"

Possibly one of the best books I have ever read, it's funny, it's sad, it's ultimately eye-opening, but I won't give you any spoilers – just read it! It made me laugh at many moments and cry at others. It's only sometimes that you come across a book that makes you feel like how I did after I finished it, but I suppose you'll just have to read it to know what I'm talking about. I highly recommend it.

 
 
Review by Rebecca on 25th January, 2012
5 stars "MUST READ!"

I have just finished this book today, and I cannot stop thinking about it (like all great books). When I saw reviews from the author of the Book Thief and Jodi Picoult, I knew it would be good, but this book is AWESOME. It made me laugh out loud, and cry hysterically half way through. Although I have much less experience in the subject matter than the characters, and it is most definitely wise beyond my years, I fell in love with the characters and their epic struggles and successes. I recommend this to everyone, for its charm, wit and grace. LOVE.
