Amazing story!

The Fault in Our Stars by John Green is a heartfelt fiction novel about a 16 year old girl, Hazel Grace, who is diagnosed with lung cancer. Hazel has had cancer for a few year now, one time very badly. She had become very close to dying, but she was a miracle case. However, she didn’t always feel like it. Hazel had to constantly be hooked up to oxygen machines and could do close to nothing without help from machines. Her entire life consisted of going to a few classes a week if she felt strong enough, going to a support group for cancer patients (her mother forced her to do so), and reading books at home. She had one close friend, but she didn’t have cancer and was off doing normal people things like traveling or going to school full time. She has another friend from her support group, Isaac. He was diagnosed with Retinoblastoma, which is an eye cancer. They both are easily annoyed by the group leader constantly reminding them that it is important to not give up and to stay positive during tough times. One day, Isaac brings his friend, Augustus, to a support group with him because Augustus had had cancer and his leg needed to be amputated. Hazel Grace’s attention immediately is drawn to him. She starts talking to him after the support group, and they have a lot in common. They start to hang out and realize they both like similar music, books, and movies. And they recommend things to each other. Augustus decided to write an email to the author of Hazel’s favorite book, whose series went unfinished. Hazel is very grateful and emails him as well. The author emails back saying that if she is ever around where he lives, she should visit him, but sadly they could not afford it. However, Augustus still had his wish from when he was about to die with cancer, and he is willing to use it on her. They had just gotten into a fight and went from liking each other to being just friends again, and now he was giving up his one wish for her. She doesn’t know what to think. She doesn’t want to get too close to him because she doesn’t want him to get attached to her and be left with nothing when she is gone, but she really likes him and wants to give it a shot. Hazel Grace has a big decision to make. I loved this book and would recommend it to everyone who loves sad yet heartwarming novels. I think that everyone should read this book at least once.

As a kid who spent lot of time in hospitals

When I first saw the movie, I did not know there was a book to this movie. So then I brought the book, I read it twice in the same year! Since then, I still think about the book and how sad it really was. I was in love with the characters and how hazel and Gus met was pretty beginning. Sadly ended up being my most relatable thing with as a kid feeling the being sick and in and out of the hospital with numerous surgeries (no cancer) still beating the odds with my VP shunt. I really connected with the book!

The Most Beautiful And Heartfelt Love Story! ❤️

I found this book at a local library and I'm so happy I decided to take it home with me. The Fault In Our Stars is an incredible story about how two cancer children find their way to each other in the darkest of times, and how, even though they know the consequences, they can't help but fall in love. I highly recommend this book to any lover of love.

Great book for teen cancer patients

After my diagnosis, there were so many things in my life that no one I knew understood. This book helped me so much and talked about things from a helpful perspective.

A book to remember

The Fault in our stars made me fall in love with it the way Hazel did with Augustus, "slowly, and then all at once." . Hazel captured me with her humor, thoughtfulness and the way she was just unapologetically her. Furthermore, her relationship with Augustus also dug deep into my soul as they complimented each other in such a unique way while still having contrasting ideologies about life and death. These ideologies were also weirdly complimentary and insightful. The only thing I slightly disliked about the book was Van Houten, he had such a strong character that the few scenes he had were not enough for me to fully understand him. If you decide to read this book(and I hope you do) it will remind you that thoughtfulness is not dead and even though it might seem so in the world, for you it will constantly reside in the pages of this book and inspire you to be as thoughtful.

Absolutely amazing read!

This book has complex characters that you will root for all the way. I didn't want to put it down! The Fault in Our Stars is a timeless book with themes that can speak to everyone. John Green curates a story that will leave you laughing and crying all the way through. This book has relatively high vocabulary and some slightly mature themes. If you have read 5 Feet Apart, you will absolutely love this book!

Moving and Unforgettable

The book is written in Hazel's voice, giving readers a glimpse into her thoughts and emotions as she navigates life with a terminal illness. Hazel's voice is authentic and raw, and her dry sense of humor adds a touch of levity to an otherwise heavy subject. Augustus is Hazel's love interest, and he is an equally compelling character. He is charming, witty, and philosophical, and his passion for life is infectious. Their relationship is beautifully written and feels both genuine and relatable. One of the book's strengths is its exploration of the complexities of living with a terminal illness. The characters grapple with big questions about life, death, and the meaning of it all. The book doesn't shy away from the harsh realities of cancer, but it also manages to find hope and beauty in the midst of the struggle. John Green's writing is lyrical and poetic, and his prose is both elegant and accessible. He creates a world that is vivid and immersive, and he fills it with characters that are memorable and nuanced.
