BooksNow: The Fault in Our Stars

   

 This book is about cancer patients yet not so much about cancer. It’s a breathtaking book about Hazel Grace Lancaster who has until now endured on a few drugs although the doctors were yet running tests and there was no telling how much more will she survive. Despite the tumor-shrinking medical miracle that has bought her a few years, Hazel has never been anything but terminal, she was a girl who rarely got out of her bed, spends time reading her favorite book over and over again and was preparing for death all her life. Her life changes drastically when she meets Augustus Waters who were known as “Gus” to many, in one of the support group sessions she seldom attended. Augustus Waters was bold, appealing and had a prosthetic leg but didn’t have any signs of cancer. The biggest distinction between Hazel Grace and Augustus Waters was that Gus yet had an entire life to live and Hazel, well she was a grenade, she could leave any time. But that doesn’t have any effect on Gus’ feelings and attraction he has toward Hazel Grace.

From here I think it’s best for you to go read it yourself. It’s a quick read and with the astute banter that is as ethereal as that of its author, John Green has written a book that will last forever. The Fault in Our Stars will make you chuckle, quite often, and keep a smile on your face, but there will come a point where you also do agonize and cry. I find it very difficult to make a review of the books of Green because they are written so well that I don’t know what’s best for it and I hope I am not doing any injustice to the wonderful book he has written.I hope you enjoy reading this book!
