The fault in our stars - book and movie reaction

*Para quienes me leen en español:

He escrito esta entrada en inglés ya que en ese idioma leí y vi la peli, además de que hace mucho no escribía en inglés - creo que desde Catching fire- En todo caso, he puesto partes en español y siempre pueden usar el traductor que está arriba la derecha. Espero que no sea un gran problema  ya que ahora tengo seguidores  Si haz leído TFIOS o has visto la peli, no dudes en comentar tu reacción, no importa en qué idioma lo hagas X)

  

Ok, here it is, my reaction: I loved it!

As always, the movie had many differences with the book, a lot of things were missed and everything happened faster, but I understand that was a matter of time. So I think the movie was good, not as good as the book but, quite good.

If I were to rate it, I will give a 4 to the movie and a 5 for the book.

There’s something I must say and it is that I loved Augustus Waters! While I was reading the book, I imagined him as a super cute guy, but oh my God, the actor that portrayed him, Alsen Elgort, Oh my God he’s the cutest American guy ever! He made me even crazier about him (I mean, about Augustus). He really surpassed my expectations.

I fell in love with Augustus since the very beginning. I find him so cool and also lovely ^^ In the movie, I loved that he was always cherishing Hazel, protecting her. Every little touch of his fingers in her skin, I loved it. And also Alsen Elgort's lips y ese lunar que tiene junto a la boca… Oh God! ¡Ay chico! Yo podría escalar los Andes solo por ir a contar tus lunares…

Yeah but really, I got super crazy about him. He’s my ideal type. So sad he’s just a character [SPOILER] and he dyed TT.TT [SPOILER END]

That trip to Amsterdam was awesome. Not weird it was much better in the book, but quite awesome yet.

I loved Hazel Grace but, the character that fascinated me was August.  I loved his off cigarette and that entire oblivion thing; his friki speaking and sense of humor, I loved almost everything he said. I collected a lot of quotes while reading and most of them are Augustus’s sayings (but I decided to put them all on a different post, since they are so many).  And that virginity circles, he was so lovely X)

Both with the movie and the book, I was crazy waiting for the moment they kissed, [SPOILER] so when it happened at the Anna Frank’s museum I hugged my pillow the hardest and screamed like a mad.  [SPOILER END]

I pray one day I’ll find a guy like him.

[SPOILER]

It hurt me a lot when he got sick again. The chapters he happened to have a hard time, those were the ones I began to cry. And I cried a lot. I couldn’t believe he was the one dying. In the first half of the book, I though Hazel was the one who was going to die. I was preparing myself for that moment. I really got all that grenade feelings, I understood everything. So it did really surprise me the way things turned out.

Also the last letter, especially the last paragraph, was perfect! People characters like him don’t deserve to die. [SPOILER END]

OMG I’m crying again.

No doubt The Fault in our stars will enter in my favorite books’ list. And I have no doubt the Earth is round and the sky is blue and the Sun is the greatest star in the known universe, and that I love Augustus Waters.
