Whoa. Alrighty, simmer down son. You see, the thing is. There aren't actually that many of us that believe we have some sort of hierarchy, self righteousness because we read the book. Okay, fair - some fans get a little crazy, but not all.
As for the 'omg you totally can't say the book is like, better ahaha' No. Each to their own. The book has more depth to it than what any film maker can capture in a 141 minute film. You get to visualize the story in your mind, and in a sense make it your own, and holy crap is that a beautiful thing. So, don't put down those who enjoy the book more.
Furthermore, us people who read the book before the film only really have a problem when you get these people who go 'Omg, I totally know what will happen, Hazel will totally die like lulz predictable.' That is annoying, and that is when we start to become frustrated, because they think they know, and then they get all upset and you kind of think, yah., I know, I've been there.
Also. The fans who've read the book will often have an emotional attachment, I know I certainly do. You start to get defensive of other people liking that thing, I'm sure everyone has done this at some stage or another. Basically, you love that thing so much you'll do whatever you can to convince the world it's yours and often that is in a spiteful swoop of actions, like belittling those who haven't tea the book. Okay? It happens, and while I know it's ridiculous at times, you can sort of understand it, and damn don't take it so personally.
Despite all this, the film is in fact amazing. I'm not at all dissing it, I enjoyed it a lot. And Ansel Elgort makes a superb Augustus Waters. reply

I just like books better and nobody can get the same magic from watching the movie as from reading the book.
