John Green calls ‘The Fault In Our Stars’ a ‘wonderfully faithful adaptation’

June 6 cannot come soon enough. That’s when The Fault In Our Stars hits theaters and is sure to shatter everyone’s heart and abuse their tear ducts.

Author John Green spoke with USA Today about The Fault In Our Stars adaptation calling it a “wonderfully faithful adaptation” and gushing over the performances by Shailene Woodley (Hazel) and Ansel Elgort (Gus).

He says Woodley “sounds and acts just like Hazel does in my mind.” (Hazel is the novel’s bookish and sarcastic narrator who’s tethered to an oxygen tank.)
