The fault in our stars
Author: John Green
Goodreads AVG Rating: 4.60
Pages: 318
Diagnosed with Stage IV
thyroid cancer at 13, Hazel was prepared to die until, at 14, a medical
miracle shrunk the tumours in her lungs... for now.
Two years
post-miracle, sixteen-year-old Hazel is post-everything else, too;
post-high school, post-friends and post-normalcy. And even though she
could live for a long time (whatever that means), Hazel lives tethered
to an oxygen tank, the tumours tenuously kept at bay with a constant
chemical assault.
Enter Augustus Waters. A match made at cancer
kid support group, Augustus is gorgeous, in remission, and shockingly to
her, interested in Hazel. Being with Augustus is both an unexpected
destination and a long-needed journey, pushing Hazel to re-examine how
sickness and health, life and death, will define her and the legacy that
everyone leaves behind.
NOT A REVIEW AT ALL.
Dear Mr. Green.
Let me introduce myself as your new and happy reader. I
just finished reading your amazing book The fault in our stars, yesterday. And
since then, I was trying to be brave to write something for you.
Since one of my best friends told me I have to read this
book, I was dying to read it ASAP, but I live in a country with
no-good-bookstores no-English-books. So,
I had to wait till I can buy my e-copy. And for the first time in my whole life
I got really mad about e-book, cuz if it wasn’t for them, I would have to wait
to read the print copy of this book, which could be like HEAVEN!
I don’t want you to get bored with this “letter” I just
want to thank you for this amazing-incredible-wonderful-beautiful book.
The fault in our stars had been the best book I have read
this year. It made think a lot about my life, about all the shits I’m doing…
about dead, about love and about my auto-loneliness.
Just to say. Yesterday, just some minutes after I
finished reading the book. I realized two people died in my so-little town. One
of them, and old musician I liked a lot. And guess what… I started crying like
a baby. But it wasn’t about them! IT WAS BECAUSE OF GUS!!!! And it made me feel
like a selfish bitch!
I can’t even describe how mad I was because of the ending
of the book. I think I insulted you very bad! (Sorry!)… But then, it hits
me! And I started laughing cuz I
realized that I LOVED that ending!!! I started to ask about Hazel, about her
parents… Just like Hazel about Anna!
Well, this book really touched me!
I loved every word, every line… I loved those wonderful
characters you created. They are an example for those of us who are spending our
lives in useless things.
In fact, I will never be able to thank you enough for the
chance to read this amazing piece of art.
Thank you very much!
Your little Latin fan

Great that you linked this in to Books You Loved. If you check back later in the month there should be a nice collection of books to read about. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteAwww...that's so nice of you. I'm glad you got a chance to read the book and even enjoyed it. Now, i need to read it as well.
ReplyDeleteI know, this book gave me all the feelings, all at once! John Green actually has a secret Tumblr, access details (and ramblings) posted on my blog. Also, Rhapsody in Books posted a really thoughtful review a while back.
ReplyDeleteReally? Wow!! thanks I'll be stalking you! hehe!
ReplyDeleteSeven words: I JUST REALLY LOVE AUGUSTUS WATERS OKAY.
