The book and the movie hit all my feels. Not going to lie, I pretty much ugly cried all through the last fifty pages or so of the book. I loved that everything wasn't wrapped up in pretty happy-ending bows, and the characters were real and gritty and they weren't full of cliches and false platitudes. The characters were relateable and honest and so real. It was definitely an intense read, but so worth it!

Definitely recommend any books if you find something as good or better!

Will do!!

YES to BOTH! I actually saw the movie first and then got to read the book. You wind up laughing, crying and, in my case, texting your Mom just to say I love you. I enjoy a good happy ending, but that isn't how life always is; and these definitely delivered that.

I've only seen the Fault in our Stars movie, so I don't know how it compares to the book. Paper Towns is the only John Green book I've read and the movie adaptation had some significant changes towards the end. But back to FOIS, I can't ever remember portrayals of cancer kids/teens negatively affecting me, or feeling that the film/book "appropriated" my pain, or something like that. Never. Until I saw the movie. I can't even put my finger on what exactly it was that annoyed me so much about it, but there's just something very Hallmark for the YouTube age about John Green's stories. Quirky, know-it-all teens from upper middle class suburbia is not exactly my version of reality.

I'm not usually one to watch cancer movies but with all the hype about this I just had to read the book and watch the movie. I have never cried so much while reading a book than I did in this one. I had to stop at some parts because my eyes were watering so much I couldnt see the words. I love everythign about this book and movie.

I read the book but did not see the movie. To be honest it wasn't one of my favorite books, which is why I didn't see the movie. I don't find John Greene to be a very exciting author, but that is just my opinion.

This is one instance where I felt the movie really lived up to the book in terms emotions. I read it when I was going through a particularly difficult time in my life. I have high functioning anxiety and for some reason I could really relate to Hazel-Grace. "I'm in love with you, and I'm not in the business of denying myself the simple pleasure of saying true things." is a quote that will always stay with me.

I've read the book and watched the movie and both has made me very emotional. To be honest, I didn't know anything about its content before I read the book, and hence it was much more intense than I expected. The actors too has done a very good job in portraying the characters Hazel and Augustus .Towards the end I cried my eyes out and it made me realise that not all stories has a good ending and that is how real life works.

For some reason I thought that the faults in our stars was no good but your post changed my mind. I'll go and watch the trailer to the movie now and try to readjust my view on it.

Just watched the trailer - looks like an emotional thrill ride that I should have watched 3 years ago. thanks.

At first, I thought the book was a bit pretentious. And that Gus was hilariously dumb for putting a cigarette stick on his mouth to prove a point to everybody. But the ending was nice and the way it was narrated was beautiful

I have watched the movie twice and loved it. It made me cry at the end

i love the book. it is one of my absolute favorites. however, it has a sadistic ending and I am not quite a big fan of sad endings but I will recommend this book to anyone who wants to read about making the most of life right now rather than later regardless of how scared they are of the situation or disease in this case that acts as a setback to the.

This book touched me as well as the movie. It made us see that as long as we breathe, we should not lose hope. That even at the lowest point of life when we thought there is nothing more in store for us, we can still find happiness. All we have to do is give it a chance. Savor the beauty of living because every moment of it is a GIFT.
