Book Review for The Fault in our Stars by John Green

The Fault In Our Stars by John Green
Release date: January 10, 2012
Publisher: Dutton Books
Pages: 336




Summary: Diagnosed with Stage IV thyroid cancer at 13, Hazel was prepared to die until, at 14, a medical miracle shrunk the tumours in her lungs...for now.
     Two years post-miracle, sixteen year old Hazel is post everything else, too; post high school, post friends and post normalcy. And even though she could live for a long time, Hazel lives tethered to an oxygen tank, the tumours tenuously kept at bay with a constant chemical assault.
    Enter Augustus Waters. A match made at cancer kid support group. Augustus is gorgeous, in remission, and shockingly to her, interested in Hazel. Being with Augustus is both an unexpected destination and a long needed journey, pushing Hazel to re-examine how sickness and health, life and death, will define her and the legacy that everyone leaves behind.



Thoughts: John Green is a fantastic author and The Fault in our Stars is just another book to add to his fabulous collection. Sadly, I have yet to read any of John Green's other books yet but after reading The Fault in our Stars I am really looking forward to the rest of his books.
    Writing books about people with cancer, diseases and such, it can be hard to really get the feeling and how people really get depressed and sad because you don't really know what it does feel like unless you have been through it but John Green did an extraordinary job on that aspect in this book.
    John Green really nailed every aspect right till the end and made me cry, laugh and smile with joy all in one chapter which was one thing that really made me enjoy this book. My favourite saying was when the protagonist, Hazel said...My mother doesn't understand. She puts me in this support group because she thinks I am depressed because of my situation but really, depression is a side effect of death. (Not exact saying)
    That was one thing that really made me think and I really like it because if you think, that is true. Anyway, The Fault in out Stars by John Green was done really well and deserves a round of applause and an award really. So, I rated The Fault in our Stars an obvious 5/5 stars because it is one of those books that just speaks to you and you realise that things like this actually happen every day.


Rating: 5/5 stars
