The Fault in Our Stars - John Green

 The Fault in Our Stars

-John Green

This book comes from the author of famous books like Looking for Alaska, Turtles All the Way Down, Paper Towns. His books received many accolades including a Printz Medal and Edgar Award. He has twice been a finalist for the LA Times Book Prize and was selected by Times magazine as one of the 100 Most Influential People in the world. John has also co-created many online video projects, including Vlogbrothers and the educational channel crash course with his brother.

This particular fiction is a story of two teenage cancer patients who met at a support group and discovered their charm for each other. Hazel Grace who is the lead in the story was taught to live the moment instead of just mourning what has happened to her and always thinking of the sad end approaching her day by day. Here the change is brought by another guy at the support group named Augustus Waters who is the male lead of the story, a very enthusiastic character who believes in living the moment. That’s how the story continues starting from their occasional meeting to waiting for the late-night calls along with some side character such as Augustus’s friend who lost his eyes and seemed to be the arrogant author of the books which Hazel like the most and want to discover the end of which, their trip to Amsterdam and all.

There are some dialogues that make you feel them from the depth of your heart and leave you in a jolt like

“You die in the middle of your life,

 in the middle of a sentence”

This work is full of emotions, feelings, some unexpected twists. This not only showcases the teen’s love or affection they generate for each other but also the flood of sadness and misery felt by the parents who knew their children are not to live long and their efforts to make them live the life, no matter how long it’s going to be.

In the end, I conclude this review by saying that in my opinion, it’s a must-read book to know how life is, unexpected, unpredictable, sometimes nothing is beautiful than it, sometimes nothing is worse than it, and yes that’s how life is.

Many famous authors have also made positive comments on the books. Some are:

“You laugh, you cry, and then you come back for more”

-Markus Zusak (author of The Book Thief)

So in my opinion, it’s a good 313 pages read one can surely go for if he like some kind of romance genre books and some sort of books which make you feel the emotions hidden in the words.

This book efficiently does the work of arousing emotions through its words. Also, it’s a good read to start for a beginner as is not too much lengthy so the reader doesn’t lose interest while reading, in fact, the curiosity developed while reading will definitely make you finish the books as soon as possible.


That’s all about the book.
