John freaking Green

Rating: 10/10 (22 June 2014)

Back in 2012, I read the book for the first time. Little did I know that a little more than 2 years later that I would be seeing John Green's creation come alive on the big screen.
What I LOVED about this movie, and should really be the "norm" for all other books turned into movies is that it was incredibly true to the book. And what was left out of the movie, was at least reference in someway or another. Examples: Gus has a poster of the movie "V for Vendetta" above his bed - talked about briefly in the book - and Hazel and Gus sitting on the swing - referencing back to the ad they created to sell the swing set in the book. After this movie, I want all movies made from books to have the author sitting right next to the director THE WHOLE TIME.
This movie made me go through a whole box of Kleenex in less than 2 hours. Definitely one of the best movies I've seen this year (so far).
