The Fault in Our Stars By John Green



The Fault in Our Stars is a tragic but twisted love story based in a support group for people struggling with health issues. Augustus Waters is a now cancer free patient, helping his best friend Isaac get through his recent diagnosis of eye cancer when he meets Hazel Grace. Now Hazel Grace isnt your most typical teenager, as she has been struggling with a lung disease most of her life an must carry around an oxygen tank to help her breathe. When the two meet, Augustus is instantly attracted to Hazel.

Throughout this book, you watch their strange and twisted love blossom and crash as they become the best of friends. This book is filled with humour and clever metaphors that will get your brain stirring. Both Augustus Waters' and Hazel Grace's flawed perfection makes these two inseparable when hard news comes crashing into their little world, when Augustus and her make a trip to see their favourite author in Norway, Hazel Grace can't even look Augustus in the eye without knowing what will happen next.

What I enjoyed about this book was how amazing and beautiful it could be although it was so simple. I loved all of the twists and metaphors while reading The Fault in Our Stars. I also liked how it was completely unpredictable and it was not your ordinary sappy love story. I think the story was absolutely perfect and nothing should have changed. If I had to, I would have put a little more detail into the scenes near the end to make the ending more dramatic.

I would suggest this book to everyone I know, even guys because even though it is a love story there is so many twists and turns and things that everyone would enjoy and that is my opinion of The Fault in Our Stars. Below I have posted a link to a trailer I found on this book which includes a couple metaphors and quotes for the book. Enjoy!
