Shit like this really happens in the world, and as sad as it was that he died, it's a symbol of truth. In the book, his odds of surviving were very low, and personally one of my favorite parts of the book is that John Green didn't sugarcoat anything, but rather told a very realistic, (minus the Phalanxifor and such), un-sentimental, un-sappy, story. Look up the name Maggie Philbrook, a 13-year-old girl who died of cancer only a few days ago. Her Make-A-Wish was to see The Fault In Our Stars, and she died the morning after seeing it. Once again this kind of thing really happens, and though you probably didn't realize it, saying that was pretty darn ignorant.
