Reading List: The Fault in Our Stars by John Green

File:The Fault in Our Stars.jpg

Positives:
Smart humor. 
Good vocabulary.
Captures teenagery-teenagerness perfectly and in unexpected ways.

Negatives:
Will, without question, make you cry.

Suggested Reading Environment:
At home, in bed, with a bottle of Champagne all to yourself. 

Here is the Amazon description:
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.
