What type of book is the fault in our stars when describing general content?
Realistic fiction fiction
One notable unfavorable opinion appeared in the "Daily Mail". In the piece, the plot of "The Fault in Our Stars" was described as "mawkish at best, exploitative at worst" and the book was characterized as belonging to the "sick-lit" young adult genre, together with other young-adult novels such as "Never Eighteen" and "Before I Die". This entire genre, as well as the genre of young-adult novels dealing with suicide and self-harm (the piece mentions "Thirteen Reasons Why", "By the Time You Read This, I'll Be Dead", "The Lovely Bones", and "Red Tears") was criticized as being "distasteful" and inappropriate for their target audience of teens. "The Guardian" criticized the piece, pointing out in particular that "The Fault in Our Stars" was chosen by "The Guardian" as that month's "teen book club choice" because "it's a gripping read, featuring two compelling characters, that deals sensitively and even humorously with a difficult situation without descending into mawkishness." In general, "The Guardian" faulted the "Daily Mail" for suggesting that the issues of illness, depression, and sexuality are inappropriate precisely "in the one place where difficult subjects have traditionally been most sensitively explored for teens: fiction written specifically for them." For his part, in an interview for "The Guardian", John Green said: "The thing that bothered me about "The Daily Mail" piece was that it was a bit condescending to teenagers. I'm tired of adults telling teenagers that they aren't smart, that they can't read critically, that they aren't thoughtful, and I feel like that article made those arguments."
