The Fault in our Stars

The Fault in Our Stars by John Green

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


It took me a long time to finish reading the book. It's the first time for me to read a book that tackles the disease that has no cure. Hazel Grace, a teenager that battles cancer since God knows when. Hazel meets Augustus Waters, who suffers from osteosarcoma and meeting him changed Hazel for good.

In the first chapter, Patrick asked Augustus how he feels and Augustus answered, "I'm on a roller coaster that only goes up, my friend". When I started reading the book, I also felt how Gus felt. The intelligence and humor of Hazel and Gus is very refreshing for a teenager battling cancer. Their conversations are very witty and entertaining. Their addiction to the book, An Imperial Affliction brought them to Amsterdam to meet the author, Van Houten. Meeting the author wasn't the most pleasant experience but their stay in Amsterdam is for sure a memorable one. Before they went home, Gus told Hazel about the cancer. It was one of the most heart-wrenching scene from the book. It is where everything started to go downhill. The last letter of Gus made me sob and such a cliffhanger. Though the story is about Hazel it is Gus who molded the story. The fault in our stars is like a roller coaster ride. It will make you laugh, cry, feel hopeless, and makes you fall in love. Hats off to John Green for writing The Fault in our stars and making us feel like we're in a roller coaster. Can't wait for the movie.
