An amazing novel. The Fault in Our Stars is on the one hand a simple coming of age tale of young love but just like Romeo and Juliet these lovers are star-crossed, destined by dint of terminal cancer to not have a happy ending. But Green doesn’t show these characters to be stereotypes of cancer victims but instead to be living, vibrant, messy, real teenagers who realise that if you don’t get on with life there really is no point to it. Powerful, moving and ultimately uplifting it deserves to be read by all.

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 Sunday Times Culture
A touching, often fiercely funny novel The Sun on Sunday Fabulous Magazine
So good I think it should be compulsory reading for everyone! Daily Express
John Green brilliantly captures the voices of a young generation while instilling it with the wisdom of a life that has lived too much yet will never live enough. Rather than depressing, the book is filled with dark humour and is written with a beautiful simplicity that draws the reader in so deeply that it's not just the twist and turns but the gently bends and curves that you feel tugging at your emotions...No doubt in the end you will cry but you will also feel that you have discovered a little something about living Daily Telegraph
The novel, written for teenagers, but proving even more popular with adults The Metro - 2013 Best Fiction
The YA crossover hit of the year. The love affair of two terminally ill teenagers could be mawkish. In fact, it's funny, clever, irreverent and life-affirming The Guardian
A Smart Book Grazia
So good! Good Housekeeping
John Green may write for young adults, but his intelligent sensitive style means The Fault in Our Stars defies categorisation ...as funny as it is heartbreaking ...we defy you not to fall in love with its main characters, Hazel and Augustus The Tablet
A humourous and poignant love story...It's terrifically funny ...as well as a moving exploration of loss and grief. And no, it's so much not just for teenage cancer sufferers ...it's for everyone Bliss
