Critical acclaim for The Fault in Our Stars:
 
Damn near genius . . . The Fault in Our Stars is a love story, one of the most genuine and moving ones in recent American fiction, but it s also an existential tragedy of tremendous intelligence and courage and sadness. Lev Grossman, TIME Magazine
 
This is a book that breaks your heart not by wearing it down, but by making it bigger until it bursts. The Atlantic
 
Remarkable . . . A pitch-perfect, elegiac comedy.   USA Today

John Green deftly mixes the profound and the quotidian in this tough, touching valentine to the human spirit.   The Washington Post 
 
[Green] shows us true love two teenagers helping and accepting each other through the most humiliating physical and emotional ordeals and it is far more romantic than any sunset on the beach.   New York Times Book Review
