A great film, just not exactly the same as the book.

Rating: 8/10 (28 June 2014)

All in all it was a great movie. Being a fan of the book, seeing Shailene Woodley as Hazel was disappointing. I personally didn't think she was a good choice. Still a pretty good adaptation of the book. I just have a few complaints: In the book, Gus had an ex-girlfriend who died of cancer named Caroline Mathers. Gus being in a prior relationship contributed greatly to the story. Also, in the book, Hazel has a friend named Kaitlyn, I don't recall Kaitlyn being a character in the film. A few more forgotten characters, Gus' sisters and nephews. All in all a great film. However, having read the book a few times, I was dissatisfied with the character neglect.
