The Fault In Our Stars by John Green

I have been obsessively reading the last few days.  Real books!!  Nice to hold a real book in my hands.  It does make my wrists sore.  (carpal tunnel)  To find books to read I like to read lists of best books.  In the last month one book keep coming up on every list I read.  It was considered a best read of 2013.  The book is, The Fault In Our Stars by John Green.  I figured every list could not be wrong.  I started reading it today and could not stop.  When I finished it was like coming out of a book coma.  I feel displaced.  I was so absorbed in that book. 
Here are some of the descriptions and reviews of the book:

Genius...Simply devastating...Fearless in the face of powerful

Funny...Poignant...Luminous

A pitch-perfect, elegiac comedy.

This is a book that breaks your heart - not by wearing it down, but by making it bigger and bigger until it bursts.

A novel of life and death and the people caught in between.  You laugh, you cry, then you come back for more.

Here is the description on the cover:
Despite the tumor-shrinking medical miracle that has bought her a few years, Hazel has never been anything but terminal, her final chapter inscribed upon diagnosis.  But when a gorgeous plot twist named Augustus Waters suddenly appears at Cancer Kid Support Group, Hazel's story is about to be completely rewritten.

There were times I laughed out loud.  I wanted to cry.  My heart felt broken.  It is a story that makes me feel awed by John Green's ability to write such a beautiful story.  I want to talk about this story.  I wish a book club would walk into Coco's right now.  If you have not read it, you must.  When you do, send me a message about how amazing the book is.  There are times when books are on all the "must read" lists they leaving me feeling disappointed.  After reading this book I feel like I lost a friend.  Several friends.  I did not want it to end.
Obviously, I rated this book a 5.  If my scale went higher, I would rate it higher.
