I am literally speechless after finishing this book. I can no longer understand why I did not run to Barnes & Noble the day it came out to purchase it on the spot and read it all that day. The story of Hazel Grace, Augustus Waters, and all the lives they touched in their epic tale is one I will keep in my mind and refer back to for as long as I may live. 
 John Green has delved into a world of grief and uncertainty and intellectual understanding of a series of unfortunate events that is the world and tradgedy of "Cancervania" that hits close to home for me and probably many more of its readers. Being a kid who did not have cancer, but watched both of her parents have it, I know from experience that this book hits the mark when it comes to the accuracy of situations like these. I know what it's like to think of yourself as a "grenade" and all the emotions that Hazel Grace has are so real that it's almost like I'm living through her at points. I still can't get over the understanding and ability to articulate the experience of Hazel Grace and Augustus Waters into literature that John Green has. Multiple times throughout the book I wished he was there in the room with me so I could hug him and tell him "Thank you. Thank you for understanding and thank you for writing and thank you for letting everyone know how horrible this acutally is and letting them know when it's okay and not okay to say things and how cheesy nurses can sound and just everything. Thank you." 
 (view spoiler)[ The fact that Gus dies in the end probably upset a lot of people but for me it was the perfect ending. I didn't want Augustus to die, obviously, but for him not to die would have been this horrible lie and totally unrealistic to what cancer is. I think it just made the book more real. (hide spoiler)] If I had to describe this book, I would say it was just real. It is real and true in ways many people arent and has the integrity and awareness that I wish many others had. I hope they teach this book in schools. I hope this book wins ALL the awards. I hope everyone buys this book and reads it. Because just like the universe demands to be noticed, this book demands to be read. 
 Hazel Grace and Augustus Waters, you are fictional characters that have not even existed but have left a mark on the world far greater than you could have ever imagined. I again thank John Green for his perfectness. This book is still too amazing for words. Okay? Okay.
