“Some infinites are bigger than other infinites.�

In this novel we meet the story of "Hazel Lancaster�, a fragile sixteen years old with terminal lung cancer. Life is hard, but that much harder even still with cancer. Each day is fiercely fought against a certain fatal destiny; until one day Hazel crosses paths with "Augustus Waters", another young terminal soul. Even in those days close to death, life can unexpectedly turn and change forever, for good, and for bad.

Reading with your heart is sometimes dangerous, but it is the only way I know to read. I swear with this book made me feel ill and die a little, and maybe a tiny part of me did. These pages contain an indescribable amount of pain, excruciating pain, but the magical moments within, perhaps scarce, but wonderfully unique, made this experience extremely worthwhile. An invariably tragic story, certain to make you tear again and again. Extremely moving, and, occasionally, very inspiring and uplifting; with a fair share of funny moments too. Heartbreakingly beautiful. An abundance of quotes and moments to remember. Highly Recommendable. A young adult masterpiece.

The movie (2014) is a nice adaptation, decently faithful to the book. Shailene Woodley and Ansel Elgort play an excellent lead. Many endearing moments, and a lot of tearing ones too. The book was vastly superior in every single way, of course; still, in a world where movies so often butcher the book, the TFIOS movie is a wonderful experience to complement the reading, and a whole lot less painful; easier to watch, easier to love.

“Algunos infinitos son más grande que otros infinitos.�

En esta novela conocemos la historia de “Hazel Lancaster�, una frágil chica de dieciséis años con cáncer terminal de pulmón. La vida es difícil, pero mucho más aún con cáncer. Cada día es ferozmente ganado contra un certero fatal destino; hasta que un día Hazel se cruza con “Augustus Waters�, otra joven alma terminal. Incluso en los días cercanos a la muerte, la vida puede inesperadamente dar giros y cambiar para siempre, para bien, y para mal.

Leer con el corazón es a veces peligroso, pero es la única forma en la que sé leer. Podría jurar que con este libro me sentí enfermar y morir un poco, y quizá una pequeña parte de mí lo hizo. Estas páginas contienen una indescriptible cantidad de dolor, dolor insoportable, pero los momentos mágicos dentro, tal vez escasos, pero maravillosamente únicos, hacen esta experiencia extremadamente valedera. Una historia invariablemente trágica, certera en hacerte lagrimear una y otra vez. Extremadamente conmovedora y, ocasionalmente, igualmente inspiradora y esperanzadora; con una justa dosis de momentos graciosos también. Hermosamente desgarrador. Una abundancia de citas y momentos para el recuerdo. Altamente Recomendable. Una obra maestra del género Joven Adulto.

La película (2014) es una linda adaptación, decentemente fiel al libro. Shailene Woodley y Ansel Elgort llevan un excelente protagonismo. Muchos momentos entrañables, y muchos otros desgarradores también. El libro es vastamente superior en cada aspecto, seguro; pero, en un mundo donde las películas tan seguido masacran el libro original, la película TFIOS es una experiencia maravillosa para complementar la lectura. Un montón menos dolorosa; más fácil de ver, más fácil de amar.

😢💗😢

...but the magical moments within, perhaps scarce, but wonderfully unique, made this experience extremely worthwhile.

So if we've got to go through the pain (our choice, of course, with the books we decide to read, while knowing ahead of time that they just might break our hearts)?

We'll be more than grateful for those magical (and beautiful) moments whenever and wherever we can get them, right?

Wonderful review, Federico! 😊

Thank you Renegade ! Always grateful for either joyful or painful moments � . I think almost all the books that managed to destroy my heart like this one are favorites. I would never read them again though. I love having my heart shaken, but I'm not a masochist lol.

Vaishali • [V.L. Book Reviews] I can see this was a truly mortal read for you my friend 😢 even your review makes me want to cry lol. While I haven't read anything from John Green, I've only ever heard incredible things about his writing, this in particular. I have seen the movie though, and even that brought me to tears. The quote you selected is one of my personal favourites, it's so powerful and really makes one pay attention to this man who wields language, metaphor and the human experience so beautifully. Even though some books make us feel so painfully under the influence, it's always worth it right? 🥰

I've only read this one and "Looking for Alaska" Vaishali. They were both awesome. Green gets a lot of criticism for pretentious writing. His critics says that his writing is not realistic and that young people don't talk that way. I'm inclined to agree with the last part, except that, if I had to read every ya novel with how kids talk these days, I would probably quit reading lol; so though valid the criticism doesn't ring true to me. The pain is absolutely worth it ;) . Actually looking to read another one of his books sometime soon.


Constantine Nice review, Federico. I am glad you enjoyed this a lot.

Books that move us deeply, make us think, fill us with joy or break our hearts, are often the ones most readers remember long after they've finished the journey, so I get this. *smile*

I would never read them again though. I love having my heart shaken, but I'm not a masochist lol."

*LOL*

Book Review: Eliza and Her Monsters by Francesca Zappia

Maybe just a little bit? 😂😉

But then again, if that's how it's determined re: knowingly reading books that rip your heart out, even one time?

Then so am I! 🤣

Rouh || رُوح I remember 4 years ago my dearest friend had lent me this book; and i wasn't that ready-reader as if it for now !!
It fractured my heart at the very most pages and i gave up so Early + I couldn't complete it!!!
But I'm planning to read some good heartbreaking romance this year and this in specific is on the top of the list!!

Thanks for sharing your thoughts about the book with us love the way you'd mentioned Reading with your heart is sometimes dangerous, but it's the only way i know to read !! ❤❤�

Oh this one was so heartbreakingly beautiful <\3 ! I'm positive it'll crush your heart now as much it did then Rouh. But oh well, it's the price we all have to bear when we find the good ones, we pay it laughter or tears. I see you are with Me Before You. Looking forward to read that as well. Hope you are liking it, I hear it's also amazing :)
