No, I don’t want to talk about me reading this book.

One swing set, well worn but structurally sound seeks new home. Make memories with your kid or kids so that someday he or she or they will look into the backyard and feel the ache of sentimentality as desperately as I did this afternoon. It's all fragile and fleeting, dear reader, but with this swing set, your child(ren) will be introduced to the ups and downs of human life gently and safely, and may also learn the most important lesson of all: No matter how hard you kick, no matter how high you get, you can't go all the way around. 

Iť's hard as hell to hold on to your dignity when the risen sun is too bright in your losing eyes

„Es kommt die Zeit, da wir alle tot sind. Wir alle. Es kommt die Zeit, da es keine Menschen mehr gibt, die sich erinnern können, dass je irgendwer von uns existiert hat oder dass unsere Spezies je irgendwas geleistet hat. Dann ist keiner mehr da, der sich an Aristoteles oder Kleopatra erinnert und erst recht nicht an dich. Alles, was wir getan oder gebaut, geschrieben, gedacht oder entdeckt haben, alles wird vergessen sein, und all das hier hat keine Bedeutung mehr. Vielleicht kommt diese Zeit bald, vielleicht erst in Millionen von Jahren, aber selbst wenn wir den Kollaps unserer Sonne überleben sollten, überleben wir nicht für immer. Es gab eine Zeit, bevor die Organismen zu Bewusstsein kamen, und es wird eine Zeit danach geben. Und wenn es die Unausweichlichkeit des menschlichen Vergessens  ist, die dir Angst macht, dann rate ich dir eins: Ignorier sie einfach. Das ist weiß Gott, was alle anderen machen.“

Augustus lächelte halb. »Weil du schön bist. Ich sehe gerne schöne Menschen an, und vor einer Weile habe ich beschlossen, dass ich mir die einfachen Freuden des Lebens nicht mehr verkneifen werde.«

Ich dachte über das Wort ertragen nach und an all die unerträglichen Dinge, die trotzdem getragen werden müssen.

»Die Zeitgeschichte ist auf die Art Kämpfe spezialisiert, bei denen keiner etwas von Wert verliert, außer wohlgemerkt das Leben.«

Und so fielen wir ineinander wie das entzweite Haus, dass allein nicht stehen konnte, glorreiche, verdammte Liebende, die wir waren.

[…] und mir kam der Gedanke, dass die gefräßige menschliche Sehnsucht nie gestillt wird, wenn Träume war werden, weil sich immer sofort der Gedanke einstellt, es könnte alles noch besser und öfter passieren.

Man kann sich nicht aussuchen, ob man verletzt wird auf dieser Welt, aber man kann ein bisschen mitbestimmen, von wem. Ich bin glücklich mit meiner Wahl.

Read this review on my blog! --&gt; <a href="http://www.gonewiththewords.com/2012/02/review-the-fault-in-our-stars-by-john-green.html" rel="nofollow noopener">The Fault in Our Stars by John Green</a> You’re going to read many things about this book, many reviews. But it’s impossible for me not to say a few things about it... John Green has become one of my favorite authors. I only just discovered (and fell in love with) his books in 2010, so I was really excited about this one. Everything I love about his writing is present; his sense of humor and his intelligence. I honestly feel smarter after reading his books. He makes me think about things in ways I never considered. It’s one of the reasons I love reading so much. I’m happy I can depend on John Green to deliver. The Fault in our Stars gives us such an honest and realistic view into the world of people suffering and living with cancer. But in the middle of all that, two teens–star-crossed lovers–showed me just how true love can bring happiness in the face of anything. To cherish the people in our lives while they are in our lives. That life is sometimes not fair; it’s not a wish-granting factory after all. <blockquote>”As he read, I fell in love the way you fall asleep: slowly, and then all at once.” – pg. 125</blockquote>I must also mention just how much Augustus Waters stole my heart. Stolen so. completely. Oh, and I can’t stop reading this quote... *happy sigh*<blockquote>”I’m in love with you, and I’m not in the business of denying myself the simple pleasure of saying true things. I’m in love with you, and I know that love is just a shout into the void, and that oblivion is inevitable, and that we’re all doomed and that there will come a day when all our labor has been returned to dust, and I know the sun will swallow the only earth we’ll ever have, and I am in love with you.” – pg. 153</blockquote>While I didn’t bawl as some people have, I did shed my share of tears the last third of this book. However, I was not left shattered or left feeling heavy, though it’s not a book to read if you’re looking for happily ever afters. It left me thoughtful and thankful.

Despite going in knowing this book is about kids with cancer (read: cliche!), the story touched parts of my soul I didn't even know I had. I actually cried (I never cry over books...ever) and will forever be surprised at how deeply this book affected me.

Pese a saber casi todo lo que iba a pasar, porque incluso había visto la película antes de leerlo me ha parecido bien, me gusta la trama y pues me ha transmitido ciertas cosas, obviamente me transmitieron más las cosas que no sabía.
Es una historia rápida, lo que me gusta y no me gusta es que está llena de metáforas por parte de varios personajes, me gusta pues transmiten bastante, pero no me gustó porque me costó entender muchas de ellas. 
El final ya lo sabía, me gustó, me llamó la atención y ya está, lo malo como dije anteriormente es que Gus dice cosas en la carta que me cuestan entender, aunque admito que estoy  combatiendo mi problema leve de dislexia. Por lo demás me gustó la historia que ya conocía. 
Lo volvería a leer solo para entender las pequeñas cosas que no entendía (metáforas y algunas frases).

I loved this, and I read it at a time when I really needed a pick-me-up. The Fault in Our Stars is a tender, funny, devastating story about two teenagers who meet through a cancer support group and end up building a connection that’s equal parts romance, friendship, and survival. It’s not a “sick lit” pity party. It’s a book about being young, being alive, and trying to make meaning when life feels unfair. John Green somehow manages to make it heartbreaking and genuinely hilarious in the same breath. What makes it so special is the voice. It’s smart without being pretentious, emotional without being manipulative, and it treats its characters like full humans, not inspirational posters. There’s so much warmth in the way the relationship grows, and so many moments that remind you that joy can exist even in hard seasons. When I read it, it felt like the exact kind of story I needed. It made me cry, but it also made me feel lighter, like someone reached through the pages and said, “You’re not alone.” Yes, it will wreck you a little. But it’s the kind of wrecking that leaves something good behind.

According to author John Green, The Fault In Our Stars was inspired by his friendship with Esther Earl, who "redefined the process of dying young for me." (December 2012 Good Reads interview, http://www.goodreads.com/interviews/show/828.John_Green). He cautions his readers not to take the novel too literally however, stating that he doesn't "want people conflating Esther with Hazel (they're very different), and it's extremely important to me that I not claim to be telling Esther's story. Esther's story belongs to Esther and to her family." (John Green's tumblr, August 2, 2012 http://fishingboatproceeds.tumblr.com/post/28557373623/everybody-was-told-to-make-a-funny-face-but-i). Esther's story is told in the 2014 posthumous memoir This Star Won't Go Out : the Life and Words of Esther Grace Earl.

A must read book. The writing will make you truly amazed!

I had heard a lot about this book and finally decided to read it. I flew through this book. The writing was magnificent and the story was sad but easy to follow. The ending was bound to happen but was sad to see. Overall it's an amazing book with good characters. I would recommend this book to anyone.

este libro lo leí con 11 años y obviamente se lleva sus cuatro estrellas. no estoy calificando la calidad, califico el recuerdo

a great book for one read. the first time going through, the characters captured my heart and allowed me to ignore the flaws with the book. it falls apart with more rereads, but remains a deeply touching book.

I came into this book thinking it was going to be a touching story and I would cry. However, that was not the case. While the book was packed with meaningful scenarios and metaphors. I did not cry and I finished the book with a sigh. 

The author did narrate the book well and I liked the plot and characters. But not that much. I think somehow I did not feel the connection between Hazel and Augustus, although I did enjoy their conversations with each other. The author did create seemingly real characters with real hopes and dreams. But I did feel like Hazel did not mourn as much. I know everybody mourns and grieves differently but come on? Like weren't you in love or something? 

Truthfully, I liked the movie better and actually cried on that one. But it still was a good read.

Surprisingly not as bad as one of those typical books teenagers are into these days.

20th April 2020: I finished reading The fault in our stars in the evening (my 5th book in the past one year). I have been late to try TFIOS, I know. Most of the people might have read it before or watched the movie, this wasn't the case with me. It is a young adult fiction with a lot of romance which wasn't really "my" genre all this time. John Green changed it for me. TFIOS isn't all about the romantic part. The subtle touch of irony and transience of life made a lot more difference to the plot... Isaac had my sympathy, Augustus was really a "bright child" and Hazel, she was the bravest of all. I have never been so engrossed in a book as I was this time. The end was tragic and brutal with a lot of heartbreak, John Green definitely knows how to trigger those heartstrings of ours. I almost believed Peter Van Houten was a real person and that Price of dawn was actually a game lol, Ahh but now I feel like writing mails to John Green expressing my views about the book.
It will always stay close to me, I was obsessed for a very long time. It barely took me two days to read the book, I was that engrossed! Yes I discontinued the last time I started reading it, I saved it for a good moment. But I was sad the story ended, ended at a sad note, but "Some infinities are bigger than other infinities" :)

You see, perhaps I would have enjoyed this better had I not been horribly spoiled about the ending of it. Knowing what happened took the surprise off it.

Anyway, it's a pretty good book, Green catches perfectly the mind of teenagers (as seen before in Will Grayson Will Grayson), and even if both Hazel and Augustus are philosophical, as a teenager myself I can argue that teenagers are capable of such thoughts.

First of all, this is my first book I have read after not reading for two years as I could not visit my favorite library due to the pandemic and me being depressed to even go out other than scroll my phone 24/7. One of my middle school teachers gifted me this book when we met since for like ever and I want to thank her so much.

The fault in our stars is an amazing book, as in the book its a bursts of humor and tragedy, I loved this book so much, the characters Hazel, Augustus and Isaac, each chapters, tbh it was a heartwarming and clenching point of view to know how people with cancer in this book live as for I have well lived ungratefully, this might sound weird but this book gave me the motivation I longed for the past few months, after shutting myself scared to go out and going to school because of social anxiety, skipping to eat, vomiting a lot, fainting, few therapy sessions which kind of helped a bit and a lot moms support, I say thank you to this book for finding me. shout out to John Green for writing this book ^0^. Definitely a must read.

ps. I know I'm supposed to leave a review of this book but this like this is my first time using Goodreads also I want to leave somewhere how I felt when I read the book soo bear with me xd

really witty characters. I love the dynamic between Hazel, her parents and Augustus...even Isaac. Well-written and made me cry.
