           Based on the novel , an interesting event would be the part of Augustus , Hazel and her mother visit to Amsterdam but when Hazel and Augustus meet Peter Van Houtan , they found that , instead a prolific genius , he is just a mean-spirited drunk who claims he cannot answer Hazel's question . Then both of them leave Peter Van Houten's house with disappointment and accompanied by Lidewij who just resigned because of his bad attitude . They tour Anne Frank's house and at the end of the tour they shared an romantic kiss to the applause of spectators .
