I've been pretty late to jump on the "The Fault in Our Stars" bandwagon, given that the huge hype about it mostly crested earlier this year, when it came out in theaters. I read the book when it first came out, so I was already familiar with it, and I have a strong aversion to the majority of movies that are based on books. In my opinion, most movies do not adequately translate the feelings of a book onto the screen. Sure, I'm a book snob -- that's no secret. Anyone that knows me knows that I have, at any given time, at least twenty books in my room waiting to be read, that I have way more books that I have anything else in my life (including -- shockingly enough -- clothes), and that if you spill on or fold a page of one of my books, our relationship is pretty much over. All of that being said, I think most readers, even the casual ones, would agree with me that books are not known for translating well onto screen.
