One of the best books I have ever read was The Fault In Our Stars by John Green. This incredible piece of writing is about a girl struck with cancer and how she faces life. Meet Hazel, an intelligent teenage girl. She meets Agustus at a cancer support group. They both fall in love and try beat cancer in the face. But don't expect this to be your cliche love story....because it isn't. Agustus wants to love Hazel but she knows that she will only hurt him more, but she doesn't know what is coming at her.
This book is written with a great plot, fully-developed characters that you can relate to, and amazing language. Even though you may not have cancer, you still relate to the characters in the book within the smallest details. The writing is so deep and you can't put the book down. You want to know what happens so bad becuase you get so attached to the characters. It gets so emotional that the book will be soaked in tears at the end. Everything in the book is a metaphor and relates to something in the real world. This just makes you relate to the book even more and I think that is really important. Here is a Q&A with the author, John Green.Everything represents a symbol and you have to be creative and figure out what it means and how it relates to the storyline. This is one of the best books I have read and it made me emotional even though I never cry.

ReplyDeleteI have also read this book. I agree, it is close to the top on my list of favorite books. Once I got into the book, I had a really hard time putting it down. I like how you said that everything in the book is a metaphor that relates to something in the real world. I can't wait until the movie comes out this summer!
