The Fault in Our Stars

Despite the fact that this book was not in my genre of choice, I enjoyed it enough to finish it in one day. I was sitting on my couch entranced to the point that when I read the last page I was confused at first. Was this really the last page? How could it end on this page? In disbelief I thumbed through the rest of the pages and said allowed, “I just want one more chapter!” Alas there was no more and will be no more. What captivated me? The overall disposition of the characters and how they treated their terminal illnesses. I was expecting a heartbreaking, sappy story that I would thoroughly tear apart in the review, because I despise such stories. Instead I found characters that were humorous, enchanting and captivated my heart. The dynamics between Augustus and Hazel is simply amazing. To find such happiness within so many struggles, and to maintain the aloof attitudes to enjoy such a relationship takes a great amount of strength. The writing style was so simplistic, yet perfect. The words flowed across the paper, keeping me entertained and eating away the hours it took to finish this novel.
