Reviews
“Green’s best and most ambitious novel to date. In its every aspect, The Fault in Our Stars is a triumph.” -Booklist, starred review
“Luminous.” -Entertainment Weekly
“A smartly crafted intellectual explosion of a romance.” -Kirkus, starred review
A blend of melancholy, sweet, philosophical, and funny. Green shows us true love…and it is far more romantic than any sunset on the beach.” -New York Times Book Review
“One doesn’t like to throw around phrases like “instant classic” lightly, but I can see The Fault in Our Stars taking its place alongside Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret in the young-adult canon. Green’s book is also a good example of why so many adult readers are turning to young-adult literature for the pleasures and consolations they used to get from conventional literary fiction.” -Time
“Green writes books for young adults, but his voice is so compulsively readable that it defies categorization. The Fault in Our Stars proves that the hype surrounding Green is not overblown.” -NPR
“A pitch-perfect, elegiac comedy…it will linger long and hard in the minds of teens and former teens.” -USA Today
“An achingly beautiful story.” -SLJ, starred review
“John Green deftly mixes the profound and the quotidian in this tough, touching valentine to the human spirit.” -Washington Post

It takes me about 2 weeks to find a book worth reading. After I finished the Hunger Games, I didn’t read a book for 6 months wondering what could possibly be as good as The Hunger Games. The Fault in Our Stars ,in my opinion, was far better than ANY book I’ve ever read before. Yes, I’m young but I value the mix of humor and romance in the book. I am the type of person to hide their feeling but in the day it took my to read this, I cried all of the tears that have been stored in my life. I had to buy a whole new book because my tear stains messed up the words. I love, no ADORE this book.
Keep writing,

So, I almost didn’t read The Fault in Our Stars. I was in the library trying to find a book to read and the librarian recommended this book. She hadn’t read it but heard it was good. I looked at the cover and was like, “hmm… I don’t know if I’ll like this book, but I guess I could return it if it’s not interesting.” So, I took it home and fell in love with it. It had so many sad parts, and I almost cried but I held in my tears. It was quite humorous as well. I enjoyed it very much and am pleased I didn’t entirely judge the book by its cover because nothings wrong with it really. The book is AMAZING and I’m definitely going to recommend it to everyone I know! Thank you for being an awesome writer Mr. Green!

There’s a 44 year old woman in Arlington, MA, who is unable to focus on daily tasks because she would like to keep reading The Fault in Our Stars, over and over and over again.
Thank you for this book Mr. Green, and thank you for the interview on NPR, so I would know enough to find it.
Wow. I didn’t want to put this book down. Many of my students are anxious to borrow my copy and I can’t wait to share your story with them. Thank you for this gem.
I have to say that is hard to find books dealing with cancer that are not ABOUT cancer. No book has ever made me fall in love, then become angry with the world and finish by giving me such peace and value for human life and the universe. It is a book that you enjoy rereading not just because of the story , but also because it is so beautifully written, you savor every word, every dialogue. The Fault In Our Stars is a story about love and about life….with a touch of cancer.
Definitely one of my favorites.

I heard about this after Meghan Tonjes talked about it during her videos. Last week when I saw it in the library, I knew I had to read it. I am glad that I did. I’ve loved books from the Harry Potter series to Jodi Picoult books, and I have to say this is one of my favorites ever. I loved the characters, I loved the language, I loved the storyline, I loved everything. I am looking forward to reading more of John Green’s novels and I have the highest hopes that I will not be disappointed.
I LOVED THE BOOK!!!! I found this book because it was time for finals at school, so I needed a book to read for after the tests. I saw this one at the library and thought it looked cool. This is definitely my favorite book, though. I just absolutely loved everything about the book and I kinda hope there is a sequel about Hazel. I’ll have to read more John Green novels, though.
