The Fault in Our Stars by John Green
Synopsis:
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.
Insightful, bold, irreverent, and raw, The Fault in Our Stars is award-winning author John Green’s most ambitious and heartbreaking work yet, brilliantly exploring the funny, thrilling, and tragic business of being alive and in love.
My thoughts: If you order a book in the summer and get's it in January it better be good. This book was hyped up, it even has it's own blog on tumblr where people holds it up showing they got it. Why? Well for one John Green signed every pre-orderd copy, that would 150 000, and two it's a book by John Green.
So did it live up to the hype? For me, yes, it was a beautiful book. John writes beuatiful, thoughtful, realistic book that you can easily related to. He teaches you things as you read and he makes you look at the world just a little bit different. I loved this book and think it*s his best since Looking for Alaska. The main character Hazel it believably written and so are the rest of them, although Peter van Houten is a little bit...out there. I did struggle with some of his words since English is not my first language. It's a great, honest and sad tale about young people. John Green at his best!
6/5 :-)
