When I saw this book in 'Teen Fiction' section I was really upset. Almost 22 year old girl can't be impressed with a novel for teens this much. But I was. Maybe in some ways we all are unsecure teenagers at heart that want their prom miracles come true. Only thing I can say for sure is I fell in love with this book about one of the most tragic problems: kids cancer. But it is not a cancer book as main character Hazel Grace says. It is about life, about death, about love, about frienship, about humor so much needed at hard times, about books that people get affected by, about us. I would really recommend it to read if you have spare time to spend with lovely characters in a very hard situation most of us can't even imagine to be in and brave enough to confront it with jokes in smart dialogues, not forgetting to read in-between.
As you see I tagged lines I liked, but most of smart ones are whole pragraphs and I don't think anyone is patient enogh to read them all, so I'll share with you short ones which just spoke to me or of me :)
'Your book has a way of telling me what I'm feeling before I even feel it, and I've re-read it dozens of times.'
'You are so busy with being you that you have no idea how utterly enprecedented you are.'
'I'm in love with you, and I'm not in the business of denying myself the simple pleasure of saying true things.'
'Some tourists think Amsterdam is a city of sins, but in truth it is a city of freedom. And in freedom most people find sin.'
'I liked feeling as if she had chosen me as the only person in the world not to hate, and so we spent all this time together just ragging on everyone.'
'Some infinities are bigger than other infinities.'
'The pleasure of remembering had been taken from me, because there was no longer anyone to remember with.'
'Grief doesn't change you, it reveals you.'
'And it occured to me that the voracious ambition of humans is never sated by dreams coming true, because there is always the thought that everything might be done better and again.'
'You don't get to choose if you get hurt in this world, old man, but you do have some say in who hurts you. I like my choices.'
'Okay.' (you just need to know the context)
I would be more than glad if I cause you to read this book :)
P.S. I wrote a blogpost about his book Looking For Alaska before.
