The Fault in Our Stars is a spectacular book which deals with a tender subject in an honest and captivating way. It addresses the fact perfectly that what was happening to Hazel and Gus does also happen in real life and that not everything has a happy ending. However, even though the ending made me sob, I appreciate that John Green wrote it like that. I love every single part of this novel, although the ending left me completely emotional. The story in itself was simultaneously heart-breaking and heart-warming and John Green combined them perfectly. I also loved Hazel's parents and the relationship that they all had with each other. *SPOILER* I'm getting teary-eyed again so I'll round up this review shortly. It absolutely obliterated me when Isaac said *SPOILER* he'd rather stay blind then see the world without his best friend. Gus was such a good friend to Isaac and vice versa. I absolutely loved Isaac and the friendship he, Hazel and Gus shared. The secondary characters were just as amazing. You can clearly see how they realised they didn't have an infinite amount of days and they appreciated and cherished every second spent in the other's company. Their love was extraordinary and you could just tell how much they loved and cared for each other. The dialogue between them was always scintillating and intelligent and never failed to make me laugh. They could have these deep and meaningful conversations about books, dying, cancer and living. ![]() Hazel and Gus's relationship was absolutely magical. I can't quite describe just how much I love him. He was such a wonderful friend and so optimistic during most of the novel, despite his and Hazel's situations. I love the way he spoke about life and death and wanting to leave a legacy. Unlike Hazel, I fell in love with him at once. She accepts the truth about her medical condition and she's just such an amazing, snarky person who I could see me becoming best friends with.Īugustus Waters. ![]() Hazel was tenacious, she had such a dry sense of humour and she was relatable, funny and honest. They had flaws and it made me love them to an even fuller extent. The characters in this book were so fleshed out, so real. This book is every single synonym for beautiful. I flew through the pages and I literally couldn't put it down. ![]() I immediately fell in love with the story and, the characters and the writing - right from the first page. I regret not reading it sooner because as soon as I opened the book I just clicked with it, completely so that the connection I had with the book felt nearly tangible. I just knew that now was the right time to read it. I've put off reading this book for so long due to it being about cancer that I regret not reading it sooner. You know sometimes when you look at your bookshelf and you just feel an irresistible pull towards a book that you've been waiting for the right moment to read? And you know, you just know that now is the right moment? That happened with me and The Fault in our Stars. Never before has a book made me so emotional and made me want to laugh and cry and think about the true meaning of life and what it's like to actually live. Even as I think of the beautiful characters that inhabited the story and now my heart, the tears well up. It produced deep emotions within me and it broke my heart then haphazardly stitched it back up and then mercilessly crushed it again. When Hazel felt this was the end of her was actually just the beginning. Lover of life, video games and objects that have a deeper metaphorical meaning. She then starts attending the Cancer Support Group and meets the gorgeous, clever Augustus Waters. Three years later and she is still alive, her life has been temporarily prolonged by a miracle drug, but Hazel feels dead inside and is swimming in clinical depression. The Fault in Our Stars is about sixteen year old Hazel Grace Lancaster who was diagnosed with thyroid cancer, at the age of thirteen. "My thoughts are stars I cannot fathom into constellations," Augustus once said, and this is how I feel right now, sitting in front of my computer, quite speechless. ![]() However, I will try to gather my wits about me and form a coherent review that will express just how I feel about this masterpiece. I feel as if I am the last person on Earth to read this book and that all that could possibly be said about it has been said.
