The Fault In Our Stars Review

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 diagnostics. 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." (John Green)

The Fault in Our Stars was a very touching book that appealed to many of my senses. This genuine and emotional book got me in ways others couldn't even begin to fathom. This roller coaster ride that seemed to only go up, made me question life, as to whether if my complaining was leveled with my suffering. This book made me realize that there are people in far worst conditions. I am not pitying Hazel Grace, for I know that would be the last thing  she'd want someone to do. My valid and relevant point is we as individual life forms have a choice to how we take our pain. 




 The epic Hazel Grace and Augustus Waters love story felt like no other love story. They weren't based on a particular theme of painted love, they  were destiny. They feared of leaving each other in the world more than dying. They weren't just the metaphor of love - being a shout into the void - they were life, even if their small infinity were a numbered one. I honored their relationship, officially making it my all time fictional favorite.




 The structure of this book is phenomenal. I am personally taking lessons from this book to start my own. The plot couldn't be any more rich, filled with turns and leaps unbounded. 

*Spoiler*

 I absolutely could not contain my tears when my eyes where following the words on the pages that lead to Augustus's death. It was so sudden and somewhat settled to the point it felt unreal.  -I'm not sure if this is a bad thing or a merciful sparing, considering the fact that my heart would of been torn from my chest in a much slower formation.- The start of a new chapter and just bam, he fails to fill the position of existence. Of course the author, John Green gave room to build up to this very moment  even the motion picture made in his honor prepared for this inevitable scene. I was honestly preparing for a more dramatic death. Either way, whats written is written and I am truly grateful for Gus enduring what seems to be the most painless death possible under the circumstances.




*Spoiler Complete*




 The characters in this novel were so authentic and actual, I could honestly not tell the difference if someone revealed these characters actually existed, somewhere outside of the vast imagination world of collected authors of other fictional novels. Each character was defined and well thought out. There wasn't a relevant detail unrevealed. 




 All-inclusive, The Fault in Our Stars is a very good read for ages fourteen (14) and up. I would most certainly recommend this book to a lot of friends, and why not strangers too. That is why I have gracefully written this expressive review of this astonishing book. I hope one day in the near future of your predestined infinity, you share my passion for this book as well, if not already. 

Peace and Love
