The Fault in Our Stars is a beautifully written novel about young love by up-and-coming author, John Green. John Green has a knack for telling tragic stories in a raw and simple fashion. His other works include Looking for Alaska and The Abundance of Katherine’s. Fault in Our Stars is a story about two cancer survivors who fall in love. As a self-labeled ‘sick-person,’ the main character and narrator, Hazel Grace Lancaster, finds it hard to believe that another person could be interested in her for real reasons. Alternatively, Augustus ‘Gus’ Waters, the boy of her affection, is a confident and rebellious character. Without a doubt, any reader would at least shed a tear at the description of love and heartbreak explained in their natural state. This book is highly recommendable and an easy read that will be well worth the time spent. The movie for The Fault in Our Stars, directed by Josh Boone, comes out in mid-summer this year.
