The Fault in Our Stars by John Green

Did not finish book. Stopped at 16%.
I have a deep appreciation for the author and I am certain this book has its merits, but I am sadly no longer part of the target audience (that being high schoolers) and thus lack the inclination to follow along with the painfully contemporary prose.
