Review Detail

The Fault In Our Stars was undoubtedly a book that took me under it's wing and moved me to a place far better than reality from the very first page. It's harsh and endearing combination of love, desire, loneliness and tragedy made it exceptionally difficult for me not fall completely into it head first.

It made me chuckle, sob, ponder and at points had my heart racing. The beauty of the story line is that unlike most other books, the two lovers are not just typical teenagers. This factor contributes a whole lot to the story, and the concept of time - time, running out, perhaps. I fell in love with Hazel and Augustus, and I found myself longing for them to find a way, feeling like I had almost formed a relationship with the prospect of them having their true forever. The way in which John Green writes is beyond anything I have ever come across before - it's full of simplicity yet is like a verbal masterpiece; he is just so truthful; everything he writes, I feel like I know. The way he mixes and matches words to make them sound beautiful, it's just so raw and inspiring. You grow to KNOW the characters, to feel their pain - they almost become your friends. The Fault In Our Stars was permanently glued between my hands; it is the type of book one can read no matter how they are feeling. If you're looking for depth and true, and for something to really believe in, read this book.
