TIME Magazine
“Damn near genius. . . . Simply devastating. . . . Fearless in the face of powerful, uncomplicated, unironized emotion.”

People, 4 out of 4 stars
“[Green] delivers more than a collectible …with keen observation and empathy…producing a story about two incandescent kids who will live a long time in the minds of the readers who come to know them.”

Entertainment Weekly
“Funny…Poignant…Luminous.”

USA Today
“A pitch perfect, elegiac comedy.”

Family Circle
“A smarter, edgier Love Story for the Net Generation.”

NPR.org
“Green writes books for young adults, but his voice is so compulsively readable that it defies categorization. He writes for youth, rather than to them, and the difference is palpable….You will be thankful for the little infinity you spend inside this book.”

New York Times Book Review
“[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.”

The Washington Post
“What makes this novel compelling is not a thrill-a-minute plot but the authenticity of characters deeply engaged in trying to live ‘forever within the numbered days.’ John Green deftly mixes the profound and the quotidian in this tough, touching valentine to the human spirit.”

Sacramento Bee
“Perfect in every way.”

Starred review, Booklist
“In its every aspect, this novel is a triumph.”

Starred review, School Library Journal
“An achingly beautiful story about life and loss.”
 
Starred review, Horn Book
“Acerbic comedy, sexy romance, and a lightly played, extended meditation on the big questions about life and death.”
 
Starred review, Kirkus
"A smartly crafted intellectual explosion of a romance….Carefully structured dialogue and razor-sharp characters brim with genuine intellect, humor and desire.”
 
“A novel of life and death and the people caught in between, The Fault in our Stars is John Green at his best. You laugh, you cry, and then you come back for more.”
– Markus Zusak, bestselling and Printz Honor–winning author of The Book Thief
 
The Fault in Our Stars takes a spin on universal themes—Will I be loved? Will I be remembered? Will I leave a mark on this world?—by dramatically raising the stakes for the characters who are asking.”
– Jodi Picoult, New York Times–bestselling author of My Sister’s Keeper and Sing You Home
