☆ The Fault in Our Stars by John Green- Review ☆

The movie came out this Friday and I hope everyone got the chance to see it! If you went on June 5th you got a signed poster and bracelet. Although I'm a tad late, I'm going to post my review in honor of it.   I've read many books, but none were as great as this one. 
**Any opinions below are mine and nobody elses.**



I've read many books, but none were as great as this one. If you haven't heard of this book, here's a summary in my perspective: Hazel Grace Lancaster, a 16 year old cancer patient, is diagnosed as clinically depressed. Her doctor and parents, her mother mostly, thinks she needs to get out a little more. This means that her mother is pretty much forcing her to go to support group. Relenting, she goes, but has a sucky first day. It's pretty boring to her. But then, a charming boy named Augustus Waters comes around, which changes everything.  Together, they begin to solve a question.
How will they be remembered in future life?

Green wrote a sad, tragic, yet beautiful book. He handles the heavy material in a way that most likely doesn't offend anyone  who might be sensitive to the topics he writes about. John Green knows what it's like to be dying without actually dying.

I would highly recommend that teens, adults, even mature kids pick this book up. It's a book that makes you think differently about life. In my opinion, there's a moral in the book saying "Don't take life for granted." or "Life's too short to live on fear." I mean, life is too short anyways. By the way, this book is an emotional rollercoaster, so keep tissues handy. You can thank me later.
It's a beautifully written novel about love, life, and death, and it really makes you question yourself. The characters are so madly in love, but it's not in a harsh way. It's not something you'd exactly find hot (but Augustus is *cue creepy winky face*) I've never read a book or spectated a relationship with a connection as strong as the one Hazel and Augustus share.  Opinions may argue on the ending, but maybe it made the characters discover that the whole ending isn't sad. Maybe it was meant to happen, for closure. Green wrote a sad, tragic, yet beautiful book. He handles the heavy material in a way that most likely doesn't offend anyone  who might be sensitive to the topics he writes about. John Green knows what it's like to be dying without actually dying.

My star rating: 5/5 stars 
Would give six stars if I  could.

Platform I read this on: Hardcover from Library
Pages: 318



Favorite quotes:
Okay? Okay.

Maybe Okay will be our Always.

I'm on a rollercoaster that only goes up, my friend.


My thoughts are stars I cannot fathom into constellations.

It would be a privilege to have my heart broken by you.

How will you be remembered in future life?
