I would recommend this book to anyone. To those who have been affected by illness, to those who have never experienced it, and to those who just like truly good reading. Hazel Grace is easily one of John Green's strongest voices. This book made me laugh, it made me cry, and it made me appreciate being able to lead a healthy life. A short life with cancer can be just as meaningful as one that is long and free of illness. It can be even more meaningful.
