the Fault in Our Stars is written from the perspective of 16 year old
Hazel Lancaster who suffers from terminal lung cancer. She meets
Augustus Waters, who is recovering from osteosarcoma, at a Cancer Kid
Support Group.
Although this is a book about cancer, it is not a cancer book.
It is not your typical 'tragic' book and frankly, I think it is a lot
more than that..
Like a lot of John Green's
books, this has the theme of the value of youth and life running
throughout it. Despite the fact that in its essence it is a love story,
it is more than that. It is a short-lived tale of friendship and it
really does emphasis how short life is. Spoiler alert: it is extremely
likely you will cry and/or be speechless at the end.
I rate this
book 9.5 out 10 because it is definitely my favourite book and is great
if you are a teenager that is not afraid to cry. The film of this book
is also being released next year so you should definitely read this
before watching it!
