Synopsis:

Despite the tumor-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.


WSHW
Profanity Violence Sexual Content
I know there was some profanity, but I can't actually think of any off hand. Wasn't too bad. Sad and traumatic, but not violent. One sexual bedroom scene between unmarried teens, not extremely explicit, but enough to be too much for me.
Characterization Plot Overall Rating
Very interesting characters. You really got to know them very well. Loved their uniqueness and depth of thought. Plot is good with lots of twists, but a little loss of impact at the end. Great characters and plot and writing. The end not quite as impactful as the rest of the book.
Great story and wonderful characterization and almost poetic at times how it says things. Very deep and makes you think. Many would argue that the bedroom scene was deeply important, but that depends on what your value system is. As for me, I wish there had not been a bedroom scene in it.
