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 …. 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 ACCL 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.”
—People
“Remarkable . . . A pitch-perfect, elegiac comedy.”
—USA Today
“A smarter, edgier Love Story for the Net Generation.”
—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.”
—Oprah.com, a Best Book selection and one of “5 Books Every
Woman Needs to Read Before Her Next Birthday”
“[Green’s] voice is so compulsively readable that it defies
categorization. You will be thankful for the little infinity you
spend inside this book.”
—NPR.org
“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
