The Fault in our Stars


     Recently I finished the book, "The Fault in our Stars", by John Green.  I absolutely loved it.  It was a heart warming and touching story.  
          (SPOILER ALERT!!!!!)
     Hazel Grace is a teenager with cancer. She meets in support group Augustus Waters and they instantly have a connection.  Hazels favorite book is, "An Imperial Affliction" and she would do anything to know the ending.  She traveled to Amsterdam with Gus (Augustus) to find out how the book ends from the author, Peter Van Houten.  Peter greatly disappoints them. He isn't how he seemed through his writing. He was an egotistical drunk.  Augustus says that he will try and make Hazel his own sequel.  Unfortunately Gus's cancer comes back. He suffers through a lot of pain. He dies after a while of this pain and suffering.  Hazel was devastated. She loved Gus.
            (END OF SPOILER!)
      All-in-all this book was really great.  If you haven't read it I recommend doing so. Also if you only made it half way through because your a slow reader, I am too, just push through and finish it.  It's really great and you'll really enjoy it!

  2. I really liked your blog post because I was constantly on my seat and really wanting to read the book. After this post, all I want is to read this book, it seems so good! I really love reading these blog posts because they give me and introduction to really good books out there. I also think that in a way that Gus and Hazel's relationship ties into Romeo and Juliet, so I think it would be a great time to start reading this novel!

    1. I didn't realize that their relationship was like Romeo and Juliets until now. Now that you said that I definitely agree. After reading the book i think that your opinion on that will become stronger. Their love for each other is so strong, as is Romeo and Juliets.
