Librarians’ Comments
A soulful novel that examines life, love and death with sensibility, intelligence and honesty.
A powerfully raw yet exquisite tribute to the rollercoaster ride of life, love, identity and twists of fate, as experienced by a group of teens living with “a touch of cancer”. Their humour, angst and challenges are convincing in this heartwrenching, haunting and beautifully written novel.
Brilliant, witty, sad, intense; examines the inevitability of death, and in so doing, questions the lives that lead us to it.
John Green’s young adult novel is sophisticated enough for adults and it manages to be funny, clever and touching while dealing with the very serious topic of terminal cancer.
This novel about a teenage girl, Hazel, with terminal cancer is deeply moving, ambitious and celebrates the connections between human beings.
