After Atlas Shrugged I
decided I would turn to a lighthearted teen novel. I ended up choosing The
Fault in Our Stars by John Green. Big mistake. HUGE. I don’t think I’ve been
put through that kind of emotional turmoil since the 6th Harry
Potter.
My story: I casually
picked it up last night to get a chapter or two in before some shut-eye. I
ended up falling head first into this raw love story that kept me prisoner till
3 in the morning.
Synopsis: Hazel has been
living with terminal cancer kept at bay by drugs that can wear off at any moment.
Then she meets Augustus, a cancer survivor determined to be a part of her life.
Conclusion: John Green
was able to accomplish things most authors fall short of, namely, a witty love
story and actual emotion. I want to write more, but his story was so clean and
simple it seems wrong for me to speak for it.
I have now ordered every
book John Green has written, it’s about time we got acquainted.
Rating: 4/5
