Reviews for The Fault in Our Stars

[Jlialectora · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

I really liked this book because I felt like I was inside the character; I experienced every moment as if I were within the book. When I was finishing a chapter, I needed to continue to the next one; it was non-stop—I could spend all the time in the world reading…
This book has brought me many things: intrigue, sadness, love…
For me, this book is five stars; there are no flaws—it's a perfect book for a 12-year-old girl.
Finished in January 2024. (Translated from Spanish)

I loved it very much, each scene and each dialogue were very beautiful, I loved the metaphor of the cigarette, and the ending, although it was somewhat heart-wrenching, was still very significant for the plot; it teaches you to live each day of your life as if it were your last. (Translated from Spanish)

I liked the book. It talks about how people feel when they have cancer and how at any moment everything turns red in your body. Deep and yet entertaining, although its ending is open. They might continue or simply move on to another plane, Hazel. (Translated from Spanish)

Oh my God, this story! They were so persistent with it and I finally had to end up accepting to read it.

?????????
The Fault in Our Stars was a story that I believe marked a difference for not being the typical romantic story of two teenagers whose problems are minor compared to those of our protagonists: cancer patients with time running out. Eager to make the most of their time, they start a love story that will leave no one indifferent. It leaves a mark?.
??????????

It's a story that praises life and shouts loudly: LIVE AND ENJOY EVERY SECOND!

John Green noted for future readings.

It has a movie! ? (Translated from Spanish)

"I am in love with you and I know that love is just a cry into the void, that forgetting is inevitable, that we are all condemned, and that the day will come when all our efforts will return to dust." -Augustus Waters.
The novel tells the story of these young people’s struggle against cancer, the desire to live and fight for it, the wish to fulfill their dreams, to love and enjoy life.
It is certainly a rather delicate topic; some will be affected more than others depending on their experiences, not only in the romantic aspect but mainly in the aspect of the illness. (Translated from Spanish)

[CyanPenumbra · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

A lot of things happen to me with this book; I read it when I was 24 years old, and I still have the same impression of it being a good book. The author's narrative is quite good; I like the use of metaphors, the phrases, Gus's ironies, the mischief and humor amidst the imminent death. On the other hand, there's the slap of reality when they go in search of the author of Hazel's favorite book, and this guy ends up disappointing them. Also, when Gus always tries to see the bright side of things, even in the face of death, when he comes very close to it, the true terror and pain are revealed upon feeling it. Compared to many young adult novels, it's very good; it stole many tears from me. I saw the movie, and I also found it good. I have read other books by the author, and I definitely keep recommending him. (Translated from Spanish)

I remember my brother walked into my room and was startled to see me crying. When he somewhat understood that I was crying over fictional characters, he looked at me as if I were an idiot.
Readers are masochists: if a book makes us cry, it means we loved it. (Translated from Spanish)

THERE IS NO TIME FOR REGRETS
Hazel and Gus, two teenagers with cancer, who will cross the pond to go to Amsterdam and meet Hazel's favorite grumpy author.
Nice story. (Translated from Spanish)

[520 · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

I liked seeing how the author handled the whole theme of cancer, which is not easy at all.

I admire Hazel's strength in her situation and I empathized with her in several aspects, including her illness.

Gus is a boy who fascinated me a lot and at one point represented us readers hehe, and I liked him more and more each time I read him.

The trip to Holland enchanted me and was what solidified their relationship, in my opinion.

I cried a lot with this book; believe me, I didn't expect what happened and it was worse for me.

I still need to see the movie, but I wonder if it's a good idea since the book was painful, although it was funny. (Translated from Spanish)

A clear proof that by losing hope we still have something to cling to, a person, a place, a dream, etc., if it's not forever at least we can enjoy and make the most of the time we have left ? (Translated from Spanish)

[JeffCri · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

A harsh reality faced by two young people where the only thing that truly matters is to love with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength. (Translated from Spanish)

[Cande009 · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

While I was reading the book, I remembered a phrase that I either read or heard; it was something like: "Whatever souls are made of, yours and mine are identical," or something like that. I thought that this phrase identified the protagonists of this novel. I don't know if what I think is right, but I would like to believe it's somewhat accurate. (Translated from Spanish)

[Sandymed · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

The book tells the story of two kids, Hazel and Augustus, who meet in the same support group since they share the terrible experience of having cancer. Hazel and Augustus will take the opportunity to spend their days together, full of hope and despair, love and dislike, illusions and disappointments; however, being part of a relationship where love and cancer are the main factors won't be easy.

I think for me it's a 4/5 star read since the book takes you on a whirlwind of emotions. However, I believe that the way John Green narrates and develops the story, and how he uses metaphorical yet simple language to tell the story, was what I liked the most. Undoubtedly a great book that will make you reflect a lot about life, health, love, and death. (Translated from Spanish)

The book is beautiful, I loved it but it could have had a better ending :( (Translated from Spanish)

[Rachbooks · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Review:

We are told the story of two kids who suffer from some type of cancer, how they get to know each other and fall in love with the time they spend together.

Hazel and Gus embark on an adventure to meet Hazel's favorite author, but it turns out to be nothing like they imagined. Fortunately, this unfortunate moment does not prevent them from having memorable moments.

They have to live with the fear and problems that cancer brings, leading to the death of one of them, and what is left behind after their death.

Personal Opinion:

I read this book really spoiled by my mother, as she had seen the movie and told me who dies.

After that, I enjoyed the book; the story between Gus and Hazel, I consider it very pure :,), Gus is a sweetheart, Hazel an admirable girl.

I also liked the secondary characters; they added a good touch to the story. (Translated from Spanish)

[JoelLibros · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Very touching and moving. It broke my heart. A sad story but with a happy touch at the same time. It talks about life, death, and cancer. I loved it. I recommend it. (Translated from Spanish)

[CitlalyAvalos · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Young adult romance books hardly catch my attention because they are very predictable and cliché, but The Fault in Our Stars is not at all like the others; it is a touching, sad story with happy moments. It's a real rollercoaster of emotions. Without a doubt, it's a very tough book that has feelings that the movie could never express. (Translated from Spanish)

[LeoTrujilloojeda · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

It is a book that details how terrible and definitive cancer is. At times I laughed, at other times I cried; it is powerful but a good book to understand a world we ignore. (Translated from Spanish)

[Willyrex · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

An unbearable book, the review is just a smokescreen; I expected to read about the development of the character's relationships throughout their life, but these are summarized in a few stanzas. I couldn't wait to reach the climax of the reading that never arrived; an interesting plot that I feel was wasted. (Translated from Spanish)

I didn't think the ending would be so beautiful and painful at the same time. (Translated from Spanish)

[gabrielacortes9 · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

It’s a good book, I liked the way it shows two young sick people condemned to die who do not feel pity for each other, but rather accept what many of us never come to accept and that is something we will never escape from: death. It’s not about youthful love or what’s most important, but a deeper approach to living day by day, without lamentations. Sometimes there’s someone in a worse situation than ours and they have a better attitude or more positive thinking than we do. (Translated from Spanish)

Beautiful way of seeing death and life. It's a very romantic book, truly inspiring for all ages. It's an exciting book. I highly recommend it. (Translated from Spanish)

[Df18 · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

The Fault in Our Stars is one of those books where you can have the most mixed feelings; sometimes you identify with the protagonist or even with the guy. Believe me, aside from being a book where you find a romantic relationship, it is also a book that helps you find yourself and understand that in life you either fight or give up. ✨ (Translated from Spanish)

Although I had already seen the movie, it didn't disappoint me ? (Translated from Spanish)

Good book to read before watching the movie. (Translated from Spanish)

[micaaborzino · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

This book is beautiful, it's a very lovely and sad story at the same time. I really wanted to cry while reading it, but I have no regrets about reading it at all. I love John Green's books and this is one of my favorites. Plus, it's easy to read, the story really captures you and makes you want to keep reading. I highly recommend it! ❣️ (Translated from Spanish)

Love is that...moments. (Translated from Spanish)

[Angie01 · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

To be honest, at first I had my doubts about reading it, but I'm really glad I did because it's a book with a well-constructed and interesting plot that hooks you with its characters and makes you connect with them and their feelings. (Translated from Spanish)

[Cateyes · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Very good book, well written. It doesn't seem just like young adult literature. I recommend it for all ages (except children, of course) I think it's a book that everyone should read at least once in their life. It makes you think without leading you to metaphorical extremes. (Translated from Spanish)
