Sick movies have been around since before The Fault in Our Stars, but somehow it seems to get the most popularity. There's A Walk to Remember and My Sister's Keeper. The latter got me crying like a baby about most of the movie.
It was not a 'fun' movie to watch. But I guess it's good for you. I've read none of the books they're based on, but as a stand alone, they're all really good movies. It reminded me, in a hard way, of life and death.
I think it's a pretty delicate subject and honestly, I wonder how someone who's a teenager, and dying of a sickness, feel about all these books. Maybe they couldn't they care less? "This book knows nothing about dying"? Do they think of them just like any other books, despite the theme? Are they such a fan, and like Hazel, wanted to meet the author so bad?
Once I was recovering from a small misfortune and it prompted me to buy one of Ahern's book, which story started with an accident - because I feel connected to the crappiness of it all, and I didn't feel like reading, say, the Devil Wears Prada. And the book did bring me some comfort, but nowadays I'm not inclined to rereading it, since overall it's not a very good one, compared to my other favourite Ahern books.
