Penguin Minis: The Fault in Our Stars

About Penguin Minis:

The tiny editions are the size of a cellphone and no thicker than your thumb, with paper as thin as onion skin. They can be read with one hand the text flows horizontally, and you can flip the pages upward, like swiping a smartphone . It s a bold experiment that, if successful, could reshape the publishing landscape and perhaps even change the way people read.    The New York Times

CRITICAL ACCLAIM FOR THE FAULT IN OUR STARS:

Damn near genius . . . The Fault in Our Stars is a love story, one of the most genuine and moving ones in recent American fiction, but it s also an existential tragedy of tremendous intelligence and courage and sadness. Lev Grossman, TIME Magazine

  A novel of life and death and the people caught in between, The Fault in Our Stars is John Green at his best. You laugh, you cry, and then you come back for more.
Markus Zusak, bestselling and Printz Honor winning author of The Book Thief

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

A story about two incandescent kids who will live a long time in the minds of the readers who come to know them.

Family Circle

Because we all need to feel first love again. . . . Sixteen-year-old Hazel faces terminal cancer with humor and pluck. But it isn t until she meets Augustus in a support group that she understands how to love or live fully.

[Green s] voice is so compulsively readable that it defies categorization. You will be thankful for the little infinity you spend inside this book.

Hilarious and heartbreaking . . . reminds you that sometimes when life feels like it s ending, it s actually just beginning.
Parenting magazine

John Green deftly mixes the profound and the quotidian in this tough, touching valentine to the human spirit.
The Washington Post

[Green] shows us true love two teenagers helping and accepting each other through the most humiliating physical and emotional ordeals and it is far more romantic than any sunset on the beach.
New York Times Book Review

In its every aspect, this novel is a triumph.
Booklist, starred review

You know, even as you begin the tale of their young romance, that the end will be 100 kinds of awful, not so much a vale as a brutal canyon of tears. . . . Green s story of lovers who aren t so much star-crossed as star-cursed leans on literature s most durable assets: finely wrought language, beautifully drawn characters and a distinctive voice.
Frank Bruni, The New York Times

The Fault in Our Stars takes a spin on universal themes Will I be loved? Will I be remembered? Will I leave a mark on this world? by dramatically raising the stakes for the characters who are asking.
Jodi Picoult, bestselling author of My Sister s Keeper and Sing You Home

John Green is one of the best writers alive.
E. Lockhart, National Book Award Finalist and Printz Honor winning author of The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks and We Were Liars
