  Will you be loved? Will you be remembered? Will you leave a mark on this world? The fault in our stars was written by John Green. I absolutely love John Greens books. I would definitely recommend this to all ages. I really enjoyed this book, it was a thrilling, bold, funny, and romance type of book. If you read this book, do you think you will enjoy it?



 



  Being the audience of this book was mind blowing. Despite the tumor-shrinking medical miracle that bought her a few years, Hazel has never been anything but terminal, the final chapter inscribed upon diagnosis. Although when a gorgeous and very pleasing to look at plot twist named Austustus Waters suddenly appears at Cancer kid support group, hazel's story is about to be completely rewritten. The vocabulary is normal but I wouldn't suggest a little kid read this because it has some profanity. Green writes books for young adults, but his voice is so compulsively readable that it defies categorization.



 



   The book was about a girl named Hazel Grace,  Hazel Grace Lancaster, a sixteen-year-old Indianapolis teenager with terminal thyroid cancer that has metastasized to her lungs, reluctantly attends a cancer patients' support group at her mother's behest. During a support meeting, Hazel meets Augustus Waters, whose osteosarcoma caused him to lose his leg.  From the first day that Hazel meets Augustus, the two are practically inseparable. The basis of their relationship ends up being Hazel's favorite book, An Imperial Affliction. She requires Augustus to read it and in turn, he requires her to read the book that is the basis of his favorite video game. Hazel relates to the character in her favorite book, Anna, because Anna has a rare blood cancer. Augustus and Hazel bond over the book because both of them of a burning desire to find out how the story ends because the author stops the book before providing conclusion on what happens to each of the characters.



 



  I think this book was believable because the events in the book seemed like they would really happen. Hazel meets Augustus and quickly falls in love with him as they bond and travel to Amsterdam, but soon they discover that Augustus's cancer is back. I think The Fault In Our Stars has many themes such as The necessity of suffering; Fear of Terminal Cancer; The importances of Fiction. When post people pick up this book they think "Oh it's just another book about Cancer". It's much more than a book about cancer. It's a book about two people falling in love.



 



   I loved this book and I can't wait to see the movie. I found The Fault In Our Stars interesting, and it shows how it's could feel to have Cancer and struggle to find the meaning of life. Hazels parents took her out of high school Three years before the novel starts. Hazel earned her GED and is now attending classes at her local community college. I feel that since Hazel got her GED and is now in college it feels like in apart of the book. I hope this review encouraged you to read The Fault In Our Stars.
