Movie Review: The Fault in our Stars

John Green.

How should I start this review?

First and foremost, I have read the book even before the "movie tie-in" book was published and I have never come across John Green's books before I read this one. What captured my attention on this (which made me buy and read it) was the beauty of the cover (which was also the reason why was I addicted to The Selection series); I thought it was cute.

So, as the movie was announced, I got excited. I looked forward for posters, promotional videos, behind the scenes and even the official soundtrack.

The movie was released on the same week as of Tom Cruise's Edge of Tomorrow. I had foreseen the possibilities of it beating Edge of Tomorrow's sales on the opening weekend, and it really did! Film makers should be more careful on choosing the rivals of a film's opening week before releasing them. Want proof?
