The Fault In Our Stars by John Green

Book title: The Fault In Our Stars
Author: John Green

Summery from front flap: Despite the tumor-shrinking medical miracle that has bought her a few years, Hazel has never been anything but terminal, her final chapter inscribed upon diagnosis. But when a gorgeous plot twist named Augustus Waters suddenly appears at Cancer Kid Support Group, Hazel's story is about to be completely rewritten.

My thoughts: This. Freaking. Book. I have tried so very hard not to cry, but at some point, I think I'm going to see some picture based off of the book and I will break down crying. This book should have a warning label somewhere.

WARNING: DO NOT READ IF YOU DON'T WANT TO CRY

But it was a good book nonetheless.

I plan to read other books by John Green, despite the fact that I will probably cry over those books.


Review: For one, this book did NOT end the way I expected AT ALL. I won't say HOW it ended, or what I thought it would be like here, in case you haven't read the book, and believe me, there is nothing more annoying then reading a book review and without warning, telling you everything that happens. No thank you! But if you are interested in what I thought it would be, email me at athenasbookstack@gmail.com

The characters are extremely intelligent. They made me seriously think about what they were saying, and you really don't find things like that very often. The things Hazel said..Jeez...she is like, seriously deep.

Here is what she says in response to Augustus saying that he fears oblivion.

"There will come a time," I said, "when all of us are dead. All of us. There will come a time when there are no human beings remaining to remember that anyone ever existed or that our species ever did anything. There will be no one left to remember Aristotle or Cleopatra, let alone you. Everything that we did and built and wrote and thought and discovered will be forgotten and all of this" -I gestured encompassingly-"will have been for naught. Maybe that time is coming soon and maybe it is millions of years away, but even if we survive the collapse of our sun, we will not survive forever. There was a time before organisms experienced consciousness, and there will be a time after. And if the inevitability of human oblivion worries you, I encourage you to ignore it. God knows that's what everyone else does."

I admit, I've thought about things like that, but I don't know if it was her acceptance or that she used bigger words than I would, but for some reason that really amazes me.


Once again, a great book, and I would definitely recommend it.
