THE FAULT IN OUR STARS By John Green

I blame John Green for my ocean of tears. (that is all)


From the first sentences of this book I knew I would fall in love with it ( just as all the people on Tumblr predicted it )

Whilst this style of writing and of narrating has nothing unique in it I still ended up being engaged in this book and so immensely into it that school was no longer of importance.
Maybe what got me so engrossed in it was the fact of the rawness of it. It wasn't one of those books where you could predict the ending to, it wasn't one of those books where all of the characters lived happily ever after, It was one of those books that tells us that life is fair. John made us start to care for the characters. To sympathise with them. To fall for them. To feel their, pain, loss, and grief and make us wish we could take all of it away even though we knew we couldn't, but he made us want to try.

The characters were really enjoyable and easy to understand. (even though sometimes the vocabulary they used exceeded their years) They weren't cliche cancer patient like in other books where they either just drown in self pity, or don't let it faze them, they indulge in a little bit of these two characteristics throughout the book but it doesn't make up their whole character.
The romance between Hazel Grace and Augustus was just perfect. Maybe it wasn't all suffocating (like we see in most books), but it was real. They were not groping each other every 20 seconds, but they laughed together, read together, and dreamed together wich I found just lovely and beautiful.

The world is not a wish granting factory.
