The Fault in Our Stars

John Green

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.

“I’m in love with you,” he said quietly.

“I am,” he said. He was staring at me, and I could see the corners of his eyes crinkling. “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.”

“It would be a privilege to have my heart broken by you.”

I’ve always wanted to visit Amsterdam. 💖

"Some tourists think Amsterdam is a city of sin, but in truth it is a city of freedom. And in freedom, most people find sin."

This made me laugh a bit, even tho it’s not even that funny 😆

“The risen sun too bright in her losing eyes” he said a lin from an Imperial Affliction. 

"That's the thing about pain, it demands to be felt."

“Sometimes people don’t understand the promises they’re making, when they make them” I said. 

Isaac shot me a look. “Right, of course. But you keep the promise anyway. That’s what love 

. Love is keeping the promise anyway. Don’t you believe in true love?” 

“I want to minimize the number of deaths I’m responsible for.” 

“In the darkest days, the Lord puts the best people into your life.” 

"And I've never lit one. It's a metaphor, see: You put the killing thing right between your teeth, but you don't give it the power to do its killing."

"When all of us are dead. All of us. There will come a time when there are no human beings remaining to remember that anyone ever existed or that our species ever did anything. There will be no one left to remember Aristotle or Cleopatra, let alone you. Everything that we did and built and wrote and thought and discovered will be forgotten and all of this"-I gestured encompassingly-"will have been for naught. Maybe that time is coming soon and maybe it is millions of years away, but even if we survive the collapse of our sun, we will not survive forever. There was time before organisms experienced consciousness, and there will be time after. And if the inevitability of human oblivion worries you, I encourage you to ignore it. God knows that's what everyone else does."

"I'm a good person but a shitty writer. You're a shitty person but a good writer. We'd make a good team."

"While the world wasn't built for humans, we were built for the world."

"My old man. He always knew just what to say."

"And here it was, the great and terrible ten."

"Oh, I wouldn't mind, Hazel Grace. It would be a privilege to have my heart broken by you."

"There is no try," I said. "There is only do." 

"Some infinities are larger than other infinities."

"But something in their iron robot hearts will yearn to have live and died as we did: on the hero's errand."

"And I fear that I won't get either a life or a death that means anything."

"The weird thing about houses is that they almost always look like nothing is happening inside of them, even though they contain most of our lives."

"I fell in love the way you fall asleep: slowly, and then all at once."

"I shall say you will die and none will remember you."

"Hazel," Dad said, and then choked up. He cried a lot, my dad."

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.

2024 — giving it 2 or 2.5 stars because while this book gave us so many melancholic quotes about love and loss, it still felt repetitive and uninteresting. 

2014 — solid 3 stars because i will admit that i was forced to read and like this book because of peer and societal pressure lol

Two things I have to say about this book:
*Beautifully written
*Emotionally traumatizing

I feel it would be useless to say how awesome this book is when so many people has said everything there is to say about its greatness. Nevertheless, if someone has not read it yet, do it. The Fault in Our Stars is a beautiful book filled with great characters that will live forever in our hearts.

A young reader would love this. Hence, I loved it when I first read it, but unfortunately, I am not young anymore.

I really enjoyed this book. It was a pretty quick read. This emotional love story is highly recommended.
