The Fault in Our Stars

I just finished reading The Fault in Our Stars by John Green last night. It took me two days, but I read almost all of it yesterday. I thought it was really good, but also very, very sad. It had me laughing out loud and crying by turns (sometimes within pages of each other).

I told Adam last night that the book says some really important, almost profound things, but more frequently, it says simple or basic things in really eloquent ways. It's a young adult novel about a girl with cancer, and it handled the topics of death, life, friendship, and romance really well for a book in that genre, dealing with that subject. It handled it well for a book in general.

I'd totally reread it, but probably wouldn't give it to anybody younger than 16.
