The Fault in Our Stars

You laugh. You cry. You shove the book at your friends. You imagine if there will be a sequel, but know that it can't happen. The Fault in Our Stars written by John Green is a young adult novel that touches the hearts of millions of fans worldwide.

Let me just clarify something: I do not cry in books. I can count the number of movies I have cried in on one hand, and I have never cried in a book (ok, well, a tear slipped out onto my cheek when I finished Les Mis) and I have just finished reading it for the third time, and I must admit, I started to tear up when Isaac said he would send the doctors away (if you know what I mean, then you rock), but I did not cry. I will, however, bring a tissue packet when I watch the movie.

Hazel is nothing like any other character I've read about before. First off, she has cancer, but this is not a cancer book. She's merely trying to live her life before it expires, by reading the same book a number of times (don't we all!) She's funny and smart, she's in college ahead of the rest of her peers. Maybe what I really love about her is that she isn't model-beautiful and she has flaws like the rest of us. What's brilliant is that she's depressed about things that matter, and not about trivial things that the other characters are normally stressing about.

Augustus ‘Gus' Waters. How can I describe him? If I ever find a boy like the one John Green created, I'll be sure to tie him and never let him go. He's funny, and charming. He knows the right things to say and at the right moments. He nearly made me cry when he sat down next to Hazel and told her something akin to the festive season. I believe that John Green never really meant to make Gus the best book boyfriend in the YA universe, but he (Gus) turned out to be something amazing.

Isaac is a challenging character to analyse, as, when we meet him, he'll soon be blind, and I can understand why he'll be annoyed at the world. I would have liked Green to have added him in more scenes, but I wouldn't like a sequel to be made, otherwise they're will be more funerals in the book.

The Fault In Our Stars is a book meant for all ages. It's the sort of book that makes you want to start reading. Filled with quotes that only John Green can deliver, you'll read this book over and over again.
