    "Use your credit NOW!"
    What does Kate Rudd bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

    Kate Rudd did an amazing job! She was Hazel Grace!


    Any additional comments?

    Wow...one of those books that stays with you, and stays with you! Very moving and funny! Wish I'd been that smart when I was a teenager!!! I really didn't want to cry, and yet I just couldn't get enough of the characters. I think John Green captured the emotions of them all! Excellent read! Thank you, John and your cast of wonderful people!

    "Kate Rudd lends emotional depth to a touching work"
    What made the experience of listening to The Fault in Our Stars the most enjoyable?

    Characters wit an humor in the face of terrifying illness.


    What other book might you compare The Fault in Our Stars to and why?

    Reminds me a little of Harold and Maude: two people showing one another how to live.


    Have you listened to any of Kate Rudd’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

    First listen, but it won't be the last! She is wonderful.


    Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

    When a beloved character is turned into another, unrecognizable person by cancer.


    Any additional comments?

    It may be a YA novel, but its themes are universal.

    "Time Well Spent"

    I will not spend a credit on a book that costs less than my purchased credit. So when buying a book in which I pay for it, I am particularly choosy. This was money well spent and time will spent.

    Although I found some of the teen conversations a little too mature for the average teen, there is no doubt that this books deals with a not-so-teen subject matter. The struggles presented in this book are ageless and well written. Do not let the fact that it is YA deter you from listening. I would (and have) recommend this book to others.

    Really enjoyed this book. A great listen and one of the best books I've had for a while. Well written and well narrated and does not overdo it and go on too long.

    "Can't believe I resisted"
    If you could sum up The Fault in Our Stars in three words, what would they be?

    Beautiful, funny, heart-wrenching


    What does Kate Rudd bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

    Captures the voice perfectly. Listen seamlessly to the story and forget it's being read to you.


    Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

    You expect the sad moments, then they catch you buy surprise.


    Any additional comments?

    I was nagged by my teen daughter to read this. She tried to explain it was a YA novel about love and death, I though 'ugh'. I eventually gave it a try and fell in love... and had my heartbroken... and was so happy to have had the chance to get my heartbroken.

    "Very good"
    Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

    I have already! It's unlike any book I have read, it's hilarious but the sadness in it is inevitable.


    What was one of the most memorable moments of The Fault in Our Stars?

    When Hazel meets Gus!


    Which character – as performed by Kate Rudd – was your favorite?

    Hazel for sure. She seems so real and she is hilarious.


    If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

    Make your mark on the world, no matter how small.


    Any additional comments?

    I usually read paranormal books, so I don't know why I bought this one. Probably all the rave reviews. It is definitely one of my very favorites from Audible. I listen to them while I'm at work and I had trouble keeping back tears at some parts! That being said, it's an amazing and touching story. I will listen to it again soon.
