John Green is a magnificent writer. His ability to capture atmosphere, time and place and true voices for all his characters is unparalleled. The voices of the characters are poignant with great and subtle attention to detail, and the painting of the story incredibly lyrical without being saccharine or trite. 'The Fault In Our Stars' is heart-breaking, as any book dealing with the subject would be; but it is also joyful, life-affirming and completely unforgettable. Highly recommended for everyone! (For ages 14 years +)
Of course, you also must read John Green's other books;[[Looking For Alaska by John Green|Looking For Alaska]] and [[Paper Towns by John Green|Paper Towns]]. But I also have to recommend the exquisitely beautiful [[Before I Die by Jenny Downham]] and [[If I Stay by Gayle Forman]].
