“The world is not a wish-granting factory.” ― John Green, The Fault in Our Stars

So today I’ve seen the movie adaption of one of my all-time favourite books The Fault in Our Stars by John Green. Of course together with Leo.

Short summary (no spoilers of course):

Despite the tumor-shrinking medical miracle that has bought her a few years, Hazel has never been anything but terminal, her final chapter inscribing 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.

(Stolen from my paperback: ISBN 978-0-141-34565-9)

As the book was one of the most heart-breaking books I´ve ever read I expected to cry a lot.

And I though right.

First I cried because of laughing.

Then we cried together because the movie was so sad and so perfect.

Only disadvantage:

Behind us sat a group of teenagers, it was a birthday I guess. They just talked all the time and were REALLY annoying.

All in all the movie taught me a few things:

1. In our local cinema you get the best popcorn I´ve ever eaten.
2. Swedish Hip-Hop is the funniest music in the world. You can´t understand it, you have to feel it.
3. Never go to cinema if there´s a birthday party (except you are invited).
4. John Green is a genius (I already knew that before, just wanted to mention it again.)
