Hello Lovelies!
As you may have gathered by now I'm quite the book worm especially over the summer break. I heard so many people rave over this book I thought "Okay lets give it ago". I already read "Looking for Alaska" By John Green and loved it so there was no harm in trying out another one of his books called "The Fault In Our Stars." Loads of people said I would cry and I can tell you now I balled my eyes out!
Who knew one book could make you feel that way? The main character is Hazel Grace Lancaster and the book is wrote in her point of view. She has a tumour affecting her lungs which means she must carry and oxygen tank around with her. Augustus Waters has a different kind of cancer but they meet in a support group with his friend Isaac.
John Green makes it so easy to fall in love with the quotes and characters he piles into books and you feel so many different emotions because its so brilliant. I thought he did a wonderful job on Looking for Alaska but this is so much better I'd say. And I loved Looking for Alaska so you can see how much this book meant to me. It was hard to read because reading about Cancer is upsetting especially when you know people dying of it but you also can't stop turning over the pages to read more.
This book is being made into a film just like The Perks Of Being A Wallflower was and I know the film is going to be amazing but just like the others it wont be as good as the book. A book will always be able to capture more than a film can. I try to read the book first before viewing the movie so I will use my own imagination to capture the characters appearances not the actors that play them in the films. However I am excited for the movie and I better get my tissues ready.
