Tear-Jerking Beauty

Rating: 10/10 (25 August 2014)

I read this book and refused (and still do) to get rid of it. The book made me cry and laugh. The movies did the same thing. One thing i love the most about this movie is that it stayed so true to the book. Even knowing what was gonna happen didn't stop the tears from forming in my eyes or rolling down my face. This movie was beautifully portrayed. August Waters, why are you so perfect. <3 John Green did a phenomenal job at tricking people to get attached to August Waters rather than instead of Hazel. Even in the book you expect Hazel to die, not Gus. This movie also strays away from conventional movies that end on happy notes, or on a sense that everything is OK. You get a sense of incompleteness and pain. I cant imagine what someone going through cancer must actually feel, however this film made me realize how much more they lose. I LOVE THIS MOVIE!!!!
