  • i think the trailer portrays how things would have been if they weren't sick.

  • Aw, the singer of the song is in my school haha

  • I swear I just finished the book for the second time and just cried at this simple trailer. But I think that is a very important part of this trailer, because it is so simple it leaves a lot to the imagination, and, if you have read it brings back the emotions of reading it. :)

  • In capital S Somewhere, their swings can go all the way around.

  • Best book trailer ever.

  • Okay

  • I keep watching this trailer and I wish it were longer every time.

  • Man, this makes me feel like crying every time I watch it. Augustus fathomed his stars into her constellation :)

  • omgfffgomdfgodmodfg

    BLESS THIS VIDEO

    this is amazing <3

  • But Augustus never went on the swing....

  • @vintagetardis I like to think that maybe Hazel is imagining what life would be like if they didn't have cancer. Like, if you look, she doesn't have her cannula.

  • Peter Van Houten made 3 YouTube accounts and disliked this trailer. :)

  • This is one BEAUTIFUL book trailer.

  • this is the best book EVER. i heard that fox already bought the fights to make it a movie. weell there goes my dream of making it a movie one day ;) ahha well ill still be first in line at the midnight premiere ;)

  • HOW are there 3 dislikes? That's just ridiculous!

  • i have to present a book in class that people should and i choose this because its an amazing book. does anyone else have any reasons why people should read it.

  • @jrmfl29 Well, the writing is simply fantastic, it is filled with beautiful and inspiring lessons and the characters are the kind with whom you can just fall in love, even the minor ones.

    Also, it makes you FEEL ALL THE THINGS!!! ;D

  • no nose plucks?! Why ain't she suffocating?

  • @tekna2908 i don't know, but this is how i saw it in the book. I thought of the swing set being what they could be and would be without their illnesses holding them back. So this is her, living her life. Love i guess. Sorry for my ramble...

  • @shadownerd13 it's allright ;) I actually never thought of it like that, thanks for the reply!

  • WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE? They're great!

  • i need to get this book ASAP, everyone is telling me everything tho in the comments...must...stop..readin­g.

  • I cried so much. Still get choked up thinking about it. One of the most incredible novels I have ever read. I seriously just wanna read it again right now because it was that good. <3

  • I ADORE the fact that "Permafrost" was chosen for this video. Nerdfighteria for the win.

  • This book is so amazing.

  • soo ummm whens the movie?

  • @LauraIsMe3209 It's coming soon actually. I'd say it will be out by the end of 2013. :)

  • This is the best book I have ever read!

  • I keep replaying, this is so damn beutiful.

  • i can't wait till i have enough money to go and buy this.

  • WHat;s the song???

  • @katemley permafrost - laurena. she's a nerdfighter. Look her up it's wonderful.

  • I really hope some non-nerdfighters clicked on this ad, because if they clicked on the ad, they are potential nerdfighters. Non-nerdfighters, don't worry it's a good thing. Also, read this book because it ia amazing.

  • I just.... Agh this book made me fall in love with reading and writing again! :'(

  • Im very glad they didnt show their faces very clearly in this trailer, so that I can imagine what they're like and not have the classic "movie face"

  • that is TOTALLY how i imagined they would look! :D

  • Facebook placed an advertisement for TFiOS at the corner of my screen. They finally pegged my interests alright. I want to click the link repeatedly to send the site's algorithm a message. More young adult literature and less fashion, please!

  • Nothing I could say could describe how amazing this book is. Just read it!

  • Excuse me while I begin crying again.

  • I don't want Hazel to end up with anyone else...who could rival Augustus Waters? NOBODY COULD!

  • IM IN A GLASS CASE OF EMOTION

  • i want to read this book reminds me a little about restless..

  • @emylictzci You should, read it. Like right now. If I could I would loan my copy to you, but I cannot. You should totally read this. Really, really.

  • Before i read the book, I was dissapointed at how short the trailer was. Now i realize that it captures the bittersweet mood of the book perfectly...I'm still reeling a few days afterwards...

  • Of couse they use Permafrost. I think its a really ode to the Nerdfighters.

  • I had another tab up when the video started playing, and practically squealed when I heard Permafrost. :3

    DFTBA.

  • I love that they used Laurena :D

  • WHO WANTS TO MARRY AUGUSTUS HERE???!!! i know I do.

  • This book just arrived, I can't wait to start reading it. Got to finish Paper Towns first though :)

  • I just finished the book, and I had to come back and watch this again. What a beautiful book. I love Hazel and Augustus present tense.

  • 'Okay'. :) That was awesome! And they used Permafrost! I LOVE THAT SONG! I was literally sobbing with this book. I've never sobbed about a book before. Not even Harry Potter. And that's saying something.

  • This book is amazing, everyone should read it. 

  • Oh my gosh Augustus <33333

    But where's Hazel's oxygen tank?

  • The swing set! (If you've read the book you know what I mean haha)

  • Oh my goodness! :)

  • Just finished the book. I went to my room so my mom wouldn't see me crying my eyes out. One of the best books I've ever read. I have got to read more by John Green.

  • @geekyclaire Oh my god. Every single book by John Green is amazing. Read them all.

  • @geekyclaire I finished it in a classroom (because we had a test and I was done so I was reading).

    Yeah. I was trying to cover the fact that I was sobbing but it didn't go so well.

  • why does it say unmake the world?

  • why does it say unmake the world?

  • Augustus Waters is hot, indeed.

  • I was crying buckets in the car for the last few chapters. And now I'll never have a boyfriend because no man can live up to Augustus Waters

  • @tmrush1 awww adorable and tragic :(

  • @tmrush1 omg my best friend wants to marry agustus

  • @tmrush1 gpoy

    

  • they should put this trailer on a commercial on tv....

  • I finished the book this morning. Read through all the night. I swear, the last third of the book I was just crying all the time. ALL THE TIME. Such a gorgeous book and I love this trailer.

  • @NaughtyTeacup Me too. The people on the Ning had to convince me to keep reading after I read the first page of chapter 21.

  • I`m almost done with the book, but I want a heads up, will I cry in the end?

  • @animecrazynerd oh yes. i literally cried uncontrollably. and that is not a misuse of literality, my friend.

  • @123longlive Thanks for the heads up!

  • @123longlive Oh you wern`t kidding. I finished and I have been for HOURS! Some tears of joy, some sorrow, but this is an amazing book!

  • @animecrazynerd i know! glad you like! got a tumblr?

  • THE SWING SET. YOU GUYS THE SWING SET.

  • oh god, I almost started crying again

  • Gah! This is making we well up again, I just finished the book today... Oh the swings...

  • well this trailers ok but it literally tells me nothing about the book, just shows kids swinging to music.

  • @supapwn read the amazing book, and the trailer will make much more sense. i know it's kind of backwards, but read the book

  • :') I love this book so much. awesome song choice and great trailer :)

  • This trailer made me want to cry again. It's such a sad and good book.

  • this trailer has so many details I recognize from the book, well done penguin

  • Just finished. I see real legs and real lungs.  I'm gonna go cry some more :)

  • ...Why can't it be longer... :(

  • Is the girl supposed to be Hazel? She has lung cancer, she can hardly climb stairs, why is she running around and swinging on swings?

  • @SexyPinkLemons I always pictured it as what they would do if they didn't have cancer. Like, that moment when Augustus says he's nostalgic for the swingset they gave away? I imagined that, if they had that swingset and weren't sick, that's what they would do.

  • @jaytummy this is exactly how I think of it!! like this is how it would have been had there not been a fault in their stars. here are just two regular kids, which is what they were, just with unfortunate (understatement) circumstances out of their control.

    this video just makes it even more heartbreaking!

  • @netholor Ugh this video does just make it so much worse!

    Hazel and Augustus were perfect :(

  • @jaytummy @SexyPinkLemons I kind of thought of the swing set more of a symbol for Augustus and Hazel's innocence. When Augustus says that he wants the swingset back, I think he's saying that he wishes he were younger and completely innocent again.

  • @liamjfloyd Yeah, that's what I thought as well. I was just putting it in context of the video. If Augustus and Hazel weren't sick, they would be swinging on the swingset instead of feeling nostalgic for it; they would be reveling in their innocence instead of longing for it.

  • @SexyPinkLemons The swings have a tiny bit of significance in the book, though not in the way the trailer portrays it. You'd know, since you've obviously read up to the point where she hardly climbs the stairs.

  • @someone332 Yes, the swing set. To which the buttocks of Augustus never sat upon. I just don't understand why they would show two people who are obviously healthy for a trailer about two people, one with one leg and one dying of lung cancer. It just doesn't work.

  • @SexyPinkLemons Because it shows the metaphorical emotions that are felt in their bond. It's kind of hard to show the emotions between them that quickly without using such a metaphor. The book is about metaphors. The trailer, in it's essence, is a metaphor.

  • Just got my copy yesterday. :D IT'S AMAZING!

  • Man do I love Penguin Publishers. They got skills.

  • Comment removed

  • And Laurena's song! PENGUIN IS THE BEST PUBLISHER.

  • French the Llama it was soooo good!

  • this trailer makes you even sader, after you've finished the book

  • @Zeroviron  Yep.

  • If the people in the video are supposed to be Hazel and Augustus, continuity in regards to their ailments is sorely lacking.... are they capital S Somewhere in this, or what?

  • Did anyone else watch this after finishing the book and just start bawling their eyes out?

  • @MsBlooShoo yes. i absolutely did.

  • Best book everr!!! :)

  • I think they're in heaven

  • haha that was awesome. great job

  • Umm... I love the quotes and stuff but isn't she supposed to have, like, tubes in her nostrils? You know, since she has THYROID CANCER???

  • @TheJnamkrane I don't think either of the two leads in in much of a condition to happily swing at any point in the novel. Augustus only has one leg, so I'm not sure how that would work with swinging,but I'm sure he could manage. Hazel, on the other hand, takes the tubes out of her nose at the airport briefly and almost passes out.

  • @TheJnamkrane ...you better not have just ruined the book for me...

  • @bluefreezepopp Don't fret! You find out that the girl (Hazel) has cancer on one of (if not, THE) first page(s).

  • @TheJnamkrane I think it's supposed to show what they want to do rather than what they can do, don't take it too literally :)

  • i cant stop watching this....idek...i just cant stop. it so beautiful....

  • After reading the book I can see that the trailer is pretty much perfect. Almost made me cry a second time.

  • Does any but me realize that "the fault in our stars" is a line from Shakespeare's Julius Caesar and means the problem with our fate/destiny? Anyone?

  • @ShadowontheWall11 Yeah, it's kind of explicitly stated in the novel...

  • @ShadowontheWall11 "the fault dear brutus lies not in the stars but in ourselves" Yes we do. The book talks about it as does John Green in some of his @vlogbrothers videos :)

  • @ShadowontheWall11 Yes, because A. The author said so, and B. It is references in the novel.

  • @ShadowontheWall11 that was the point. its referenced in the book and john told us all so when he decided on the title a couple months ago in a @vlogbrothers video

  • i can't get over how perfect this is.

  • Now that I have read the book... I can't help but sob at this. The quotes and the... everything. Sobbing. Sobbing.

  • She docent have her tank on and she wont swing, this is bs

  • @RandomPonyProduction maybe its supposed to be her dream of being healthy-her? its not for a move dear, its meant to convey emotions, not visuals.

  • I just got the book :DD I'm so happy!!!!

  • Cant stop watching the vid, just finished d book a while ago and hated that i didnt read it slower

  • this is so gorgeous.

  • Who designed this video? It is so sharp.

  • This trailer shoucl really be longer...like maybe movie length??

  • That's so beautiful!

  • did anyone else smell the signature to see if it still smelled of sharpie? no? am I going to die?

  • @noosaho Its okay, i'm pretty sure we all did. I did after stroking the green sharpie like a newborn kitten for around two minutes.

  • @noosaho Well so long as you don't lick it, right?

  • @noosaho You should have seen me when I got my sharpie in the mail that I ordered from the Project for Awesome. My grandmother thought I was nuts for buying a $20 used sharpie. My answer. "But it was in John Greens actual hand!!!"

  • You can see photos taken of the photoshoot for this trailer, at the swingset in Riverside Park, Schenectady NY Stockade District, on December 17, 2011, at the weblog "suns along the Mohawk", in the posting "shooting Stars in the Park".
