The Fault in Our Stars
I recently read The Fault In Our Stars by John Greene and my expectations were well exceeded. This story sends you on a roller coaster of emotions. It takes your typical fairy tale we all once dreamed of as little girls and puts a whole new spin on it, Cinderella meets reality. Hazel is a typically awkward teen with your everyday teen struggles, except for one thing, she has cancer. This in itself starts you off with a weird vibe, you don't want to get too attached to the character in fear that something will happen to her, but you cant help yourself. Over the course of the book your empathy for hazel only grows as you experience with her the hardships of her situation. As I'm sure you would've guessed Hazel then falls for another cancer victim in remission, Augustus, a feisty, clever and very confident kid whose everyone sort of idolizes, including the readers. together him and Hazel see the reality in life for the first time in their young lives. I highly recommend his book, its a pretty rad ride.
wooo!
