The Fault In Our Stars by John Green is one of my all-time favorite books. The amount of times I've read this book is uncountable. It has been at least fifty or sixty.
People often ask me why I enjoy this book so much. I don't know what I love more, John Green's magnificent writing skills or the fact that he made such likable and relatable characters. "How are they so relatable?", you may ask. "They both have cancer. You don't know what that's like." Yes, this is a cancer book. But, it's not a stereotypical cancer book. You have Hazel Grace, who has been diagnosed for almost four to five years, and it's untreatable. She finds herself extremely unextraordinary and doesn't like to get close to people in fear of hurting them. Then, you have the incredibly charming Augustus Waters, who wants to just leave a mark on the world. He doesn't want to be forgotten. Put these two together, and you have a marvelous story line and two characters that mesh well.
I have grown quite close to both of the characters in this book and I will admit that this story has caused far too many tears every time I've read it; without fail! It's a great read and you will definitely not regret reading it; not for a second.
If you have read it, or are going to, I also suggest you check out the movie when it comes out on June 6. I have been looking forward to it for quite some time now, and even the trailer brought tears to my eyes. Happy reading everyone!
