Amazon Best Books of the Month,
January 2012:
In The Fault in Our Stars , John Green has created a
soulful novel that tackles big
subjects--life, death, love--with the
perfect blend of levity and heart-
swelling emotion. Hazel is sixteen,
with terminal cancer, when she meets
Augustus at her kids-with-cancer
support group. The two are kindred
spirits, sharing an irreverent sense of
humor and immense charm, and
watching them fall in love even as
they face universal questions of the
human condition--How will I be
remembered? Does my life, and will
my death, have meaning?--has a raw
honesty that is deeply moving. --Seira

From Booklist
*Starred Review* At 16, Hazel Grace
Lancaster, a three-year stage IV–
cancer survivor, is clinically
depressed. To help her deal with this,
her doctor sends her to a weekly
support group where she meets
Augustus Waters, a fellow cancer
survivor, and the two fall in love. Both
kids are preternaturally intelligent,
and Hazel is fascinated with a novel
about cancer called An Imperial
Affliction. Most particularly, she longs
to know what happened to its
characters after an ambiguous ending.
To find out, the enterprising Augustus
makes it possible for them to travel to
Amsterdam, where Imperial’s author,
an expatriate American, lives. What
happens when they meet him must be
left to readers to discover. Suffice it to
say, it is significant. Writing about
kids with cancer is an invitation to
sentimentality and pathos—or worse,
in unskilled hands, bathos. Happily,
Green is able to transcend such
pitfalls in his best and most ambitious
novel to date. Beautifully conceived
and executed, this story artfully
examines the largest possible
considerations—life, love, and death—
with sensitivity, intelligence, honesty,
and integrity. In the process, Green
shows his readers what it is like to
live with cancer, sometimes no more
than a breath or a heartbeat away from
death. But it is life that Green
spiritedly celebrates here, even while
acknowledging its pain. In its every
aspect, this novel is a triumph. HIGH-
DEMAND BACKSTORY: Green’s
promotional genius is a force of
nature. After announcing he would sign
all 150,000 copies of this title’s first
print run, it shot to the top of Amazon
and Barnes & Noble’s best-seller lists
six months before publication. Grades
9-12. --Michael Cart
