I just finished reading The Fault in Our Stars, and I have to say, the film adaptation does an incredible job of capturing the essence of John Green’s novel.

One of the things I loved most about the book is Hazel Grace Lancaster's voice. She's incredibly relatable, with her sharp wit and deep introspection. Green does a fantastic job of blending humor and heartbreak, making you laugh while also hitting you with profound truths about life and mortality. Hazel’s perspective on living with cancer and her desire to lead a “normal” life really resonates, especially when you consider how illness can shape identity and relationships.Gus Waters charm and optimism contrast beautifully with Hazel. The way their relationship developed felt really genuine and raw, capturing the intensity of young love amidst the backdrop of their struggles. Green's writing beautifully illustrated their emotional connections, making me root for them.

John Green is already himself known for addressing tough topics in a way that feels accessible and heartfelt. And his ability to articulate the thoughts and feelings of young adults facing difficult realities and expressing it in a beautiful way is of what made me write this review.

For you what book to screen adaptation do you believe most successfully embodies the essence of the original work ?
