Okay? Okay.

Sleepy eyes, late night reading, a gripping novel whose end is feared, incessantly turning of pages, biting nails, getting deeper into the life of characters, reminding yourself, time and again that it is just fiction and then like a snap, facing the end only to survive the book hangover, all by yourself. How terribly I had missed this routine!

The Fault in our Stars by John Green was a small package of incredible life wrapped inside an adorable blue cover. Though just for two days, it gave me my most favorite routine back. This book is not just a reader's delight..it is an unparalleled treasure which I am glad to have found. To say the least, I cried my eyes out when I finished this amazing piece of fiction.

You know, it is probably going to be the only book ever, whose climax was known to me before I ordered my copy and yet it did not affect my experience, at all. Of course I was really angry and disturbed when the main part was disclosed to me. (People should learn when to write 'Spoiler Alert' while reviewing a book or a movie. It is NEVER written after spoiling the plot. Please..show some mercy!)

Anyway, the news is that a movie based on this novel is going to hit the cinemas in early June this year...somewhere near my birthday. I don't know whether I'm ready to handle this story on the big screen but I'm sure as hell, excited to watch it.
I know I would have to carry a big box of tissues to the theater. Gosh! What have you done to me John Green.

P.S: The heading of the post is from the novel.

  6. The last time I lauded any book with such kind of emotions was definitely 'Perks of being a wallflower'. Now, I think I'll take this one too :)

    P.S. Don't expect too much from the movie, they seldom do justice to the novels they're based on. (Though the trailers look promising)

  8. I took a day off work to read the book, I was done in three hours and I had a migraine afterward because of all the bawling :/
    And I'm still too overwhelmed to write anything about the book. How can someone write like that? How?

  13. God I have missed so much on your blog. I haven't read the book too. My friend told me that its pretty depressing and I think I really cant handle this stuff right now. I really don't wanna cry after reading a book. It will only add to the misery!
