Book Review: The Fault In Our Stars by John Green

The Fault In Our Stars by John Green
Despite the tumor-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.






I rate this book...
5 out of 5 Stars
What I thought...

*Non Spoilers Section*
This was my third time reading this book, I love it that much. If you haven't read it I highly recommend you do. I read it when it first came out, then again when they released the trailer for the movie, and now recently in preparation for the movie.
It is about a girl named Hazel who has cancer and meets a boy named Augustus at a cancer support group. It is about their relationship, their friends, and life. It is a love story. It is about real kids going through real things. There are some sad parts but it is also filled with funny and heartwarming moments.
I like that it is so easy to relate to this book. Someone very close to me died from liver cancer and I can understand the sadness that occurs. I haven't had cancer myself, but I was hospitalized a few years ago and things weren't looking good (Luckily everything worked out well for me and today I'm a healthy 18 year old). I read this book shortly after coming out of the hospital and was so excited that someone actually understood what I had gone through. But even if you haven't been sick or know someone who is/was you could still relate to this book because it is not about cancer or illness, it is about teenagers.

I don't want to put too much here because I could go on for hours. There are so many parts of this book that I, as well as everyone else, love. The book is filled with so many wonderful moments and I love to quote it as much as the next girl, but I'm not going to because I'm sure you've seen them all dozens of times already.
One of my favorite things is that Hazel and Augustus bond over a book. And I think it's awesome that John Green uses a quote from this book he made up at the beginning of this book.
