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 diagnosis. 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.
Insightful, bold, irreverent, and raw, The Fault in Our Stars is award-winning-author John Green’s most ambitious and heartbreaking work yet, brilliantly exploring the funny, thrilling, and tragic business of being alive and in love.
I loved this book. I'm probably one of the last people on Earth to read this book, but I finally have! I picked it up in the airport (I already have a copy, of course, but I was stuck for something to read and there was nothing else interesting me and the book was on 3 for 2 so I picked up this one, Looking For Alaska and Will Grayson, Will Grayson). I knew this was the one I was going to read... And I devoured it in about two hours.
What can I say about the book that hasn't already been said? I pretty much loved it. Hazel and Augustus are two of the best main characters I will ever, ever meet, if I had cancer I would be bound to my bed, by choice, but these two! Man, I loved their attitude towards life.
I loved the whole philosophy of the novel. I loved the story-within-a-story with that douchebag author whose name escapes me, who wrote just the one book that ended in the middle of a sentence (and man, that made me SO MAD because I feared it was a precursor to what was coming at the end of TFIOS).
This is probably one of the best books I've ever read, even if I saw the plot twist coming a mile away (not that it made it any less bloody sad, mind) and I confess the book made me cry a little (ON A PLANE, PEOPLE!!!!!) and I'm now really looking forward to seeing the movie.
