„Krebsbücher sind doof", sagt die 16-jährige Hazel, die selbst Krebs hat. Sie will auf gar keinen Fall bemitleidet werden und kann mit Selbsthilfegruppen nichts anfangen. Bis sie in einer Gruppe auf den intelligenten, gut aussehenden und umwerfend schlagfertigen Gus trifft. Der geht offensiv mit seiner Krankheit um. Hazel und Gus diskutieren Bücher, hören Musik, sehen Filme und verlieben sich ineinander - trotz ihrer Handicaps und Unerfahrenheit. Gus macht Hazels großen Traum wahr: Gemeinsam fliegen sie nach Amsterdam, um dort Peter Van Houten zu treffen, den Autor von Hazels absolutem Lieblingsbuch. Ein tiefgründiges, emotionales und zugleich freches Jugendbuch über Krankheit, Liebe und Tod.

Das Video zeigt den Erfolg von "Das Schicksal ist ein mieser Verräter" (OT "The Fault in Our Stars") in den USA und stellt die deutsche Ausgabe des Buches vor.

NOW THE NEW JOHN GREEN NOVEL IS ALSO AVAILABLE IN GERMANY

John: My new book is about a lot of things. It's about Amsterdam, Minneapolis, disease and love, contemporary art and poetry, it's about all sorts of things. It's the story of two young people, Hazel and Gus, how they meet in a support group and what they experience together.

THE NEW JOHN GREEN NOVEL published by Hanser

John: Do you think The Fault in Our Stars is your best book? I don't know, the reviews however are even better, than on my other books, but authors shouldn't rate their novels, just like Mark Twain who thought Joan of Arc was his best book, which it wasn't.
