- Gus tells Hazel "There is no honor in dying of". What do you think he means by this, and what do you think of it?
- On page 245, Hazel says "according to the conventions of the genre, Augustus Waters kept his sense of humor until the end..." What do you think of the way that Gus is described as he's dying? Did it change the way you felt about him?
- What did you think of the scene on page 254 when Hazel's parents don't want her to go see Gus? (full disclosure: it's the one scene in the book that doesn't sit right with me. But then, I'm not a teenager).
- What do you think of Hazel's response to the posts on Augustus's wall (p. 264). Do you agree with her?
- What do you think of Augustus's claim on page 312 that "The real heroes anyway aren't the people doing things; the real heroes are the people NOTICING things, paying attention." Do you agree? Do you think he would have agreed earlier in the book?
