![]() ![]() It’s not about two teenagers being in love. That’s what people need to stop and realize. I think I’ve become convinced that the shattered world will never be put back together unless and until all living humans read the book. Maybe this book is my An Imperial Affliction. If only people would take the time to analyze these things. I don’t know that it necessarily resurrects, but I think it does a pretty damn good job of bringing the lost or unknown ideals to the forefront of society. ![]() I disagree with Van Houten writing does not bury. Everyone wants to read, but nobody wants to take the time to understand. I think this is because for so many people, it’s about the story. So far, very few agree with me on this review of the movie. I guess I was so disappointed because I didn’t realize the difference. Movies are meant for conveying stories books are meant for telling them. But how could it? A movie is not a book and a book is not a movie. Sadly, the movie hardly showed any of these things. I don’t think I’ll come across another novel like this for a long, long time. In addition, the ideas, the themes, the tone, and the overall literary devices Green uses are pure genius. It’s really Hazel and Augustus’s mental connection that makes the story what it is.

The only other book I’ve read that many times was my collection of nursery rhymes when I was kid. This book brought out something in me I didn’t know I could feel. The fact that a piece of writing got me to feel something to that capacity was I’m not a book crier, I’m not a movie crier, and I’m really not a crier at all in general. I probably looked rather pathetic sitting on the beach by myself, bawling my eyes out through the last 50 pages.
