The Fault in Our Stars by John Green

Rating: 4 Stars

Length: 7 Days to Read

Let me tell you how I started reading this book. I saw that it was going to be a movie and I liked the main character so I decided to give the book a shot. Before I read the book I watched the trailer. It looked like an OKAY movie but I still went through to read the book. I am so glad that I read the book!

It begins with Hazel Grace. She is surviving with cancer. Her lungs are filled with tiny little masses that make it hard for her to breathe without her oxygen tank. She is forced to go to weekly meetings at a church with cancer patients. That is where she meets Augustus Waters. I think it is love at first sight. She makes him read one of her favourite books and he makes her read his. Their relationship grows and he uses his cancer wish to take Hazel to Amsterdam to meet the author of her favourite book. She has some unanswered questions for him about the book. Ever since they met, Augustus did not hide his feelings from her. He knew he loved her in an instant and wouldn’t give up on her, even though she kept pushing him away saying she was a grenade. He didn’t care. I loved the ending. Don’t worry, I won’t ruin it. That is all I will tell you.

I know it doesn’t sound like much, and it really isn’t. There is nothing special about this book. The last chapter I read, though, for some odd reason, I couldn’t stop crying. The last chapter was a letter that Augustus wrote to the author. I just love it when guys show emotion. After I composed myself from crying during the last pages, I watched the trailer and cried even more! I felt a connection with the characters that you just don’t get when you watch a movie. This just proves that you will never get out of a movie when you get from a book. I definitely recommend this book. It isn’t even that long! Favourite line – Okay, Okay.
