I red John Green’s book The Fault In Our Stars which was published in January 2012. The book is a popular romantic drama. The book starts to tell about a girl who has cancer. Her name is Hazel Grace and she is 16 years old.
Hazel’s parents are really worried about her, because she spends so much time alone just reading her favorite book. Even though they know that she likes to be alone and lost in thought. Actually, they are more scared about fact that she will identify too much to the person of the book, because she has cancer too.
Although the lost in though is the part of Hazel’s personality, her parents made decision that she should join into the group that consist of young people who are seriously diseased. In this group, she met Isac and they became very good friends. One day in the group meeting Isac had his good friend, August, with him. At the first look, she immediately felt attraction to August.
I think this part of the book was the most interesting to read because it doesn’t tell the depressed girl but the girl who had the joy of life around her and in herself. It was nice to read ahead and keep on track and see what will happen next.
August is by nature more outgoing and sarcastic than Hazel. However, they both like to ruminate issues of life and share their interests. Pretty soon, the pair was inseparable and they were able to share everything to each other. It was nice to read how close they became so in the short time and many things connect them together. They have a chance to experience many things together like a trip to Amsterdam what was about go to spoil because Hazel was so sick and weak.
They were not able to live a completely normal but was supposed be on the alert all the time. Because if Hazel’s situation is getting worse. Unfortunately, Hazel got bad news, something what she never wanted to hear, August has cancer and it had recurred and spread widely.
His condition is progressing really fast, and both Hazel and August know that the “grim reaper” is coming soon. During the past few days, they spent peacefully and were grateful that they had met each other. Also, their feelings for each other are not left with any doubt.
The book is lovely and touching but at the same time really sad like you can tell. It was great for to red how August and Hazel experienced hard but wonderful times together. They still didn’t give up but keep going strong. I think Hazel grown up so much during this book and came almost a new person. I can only recommend this touching book. Although I think the book was hard to red but it was all worth it.
