THE FAULT IN OUR STARS by JOHN GREEN (2012)

Title: The Fault In Our StarsAuthor: John GreenPages: 313Published: Jan 10th 2012Publisher: Dutton Books


Like everybody else I love this book. It's sad, happy and everything in between. It made cry and laugh, but then again, I'm really emotional when it comes to books.
Maybe I got super excited about the book because everyone was talking about it so much. But it wasn't extraordinary, except it is, because it's so... ordinary, believe it or not. (This is probably not making any sense whatsoever). Two young adults with fairly normal lives, except they're not normal, if you know what I mean. They presents it as if it is. This is life, and it's not changing, and it's like for me and I've never really known anything else. It's their relationship that makes it so extraordinary, and I love it. I LOVE IT.
John Green has somehow managed to understand and teenage girl with lung cancer. And I can't say if he's succeeded or not because I don't know what that's like, but he seems to have managed quite well cause we're all sitting here crying.
It is not the best book I have ever read because there are some serious books I'm addicted to but it truly is a wonderful book about friendship and love and life it self.

Plot Summary:


The Fault in Our Stars is award-winning author John Green's most ambitious and heartbreaking work yet, brilliantly exploring and funny, thrilling and tragic business of being alive and in love.
Despite the timor-shrinking medical miracle that has bought her a few years, Hazel has never been anything but terminal, her final chapter inscribed upon diagnosis. But when a gorgeous plot twist named Augustus Waters suddenly appears at Cancer Kid Support Group, Hazel's story is about to be completely rewritten.


Favourite Quote:


'That's the thing about pain. It demands to be felt.' - Augustus Waters

My Rating:
9/10
It truly is an amazing book. But if I gave every book a 10, I wouldn't be able to keep my absolute favourite book apart.
