Every story, from The Hunger Games to Harry Potter has taken flak on the big screen for leaving out huge swathes of storylines and character development in favour of hurrying to the bombastic finale. The Fault In Our Stars does not suffer from any of these issues, staying rigidly faithful to the lovingly crafted story told by the book.
