The Fault in our Stars


Hazel is a sixteen year old girl dying of lung cancer and she doesn't know what to do with the rest of her life. Hazel then meets a guy called Augustus Waters at Cancer Kid Support Group, who also has a rare form of bone cancer but has recently had the all clear. Hazel and Augustus fall in love and he changes Hazel’s life for the better, Hazel is very grateful but she doesn’t want to break his heart when she dies. Augustus and Hazel love each other until their very last seconds.

The fault in our stars is an exciting but complex book and has a great storyline. The book is mostly good except for some complex bits in the book. I wish that the author would take out the irrelevant parts that they don't need and also change the ending.

This book would fit into the romance and adventure category.

I would recommend this book for the ages 12 to adult. The book isn’t part of a series but it has been made into a movie, but I haven’t watched it yet.

John Green was born on August 24, 1977. He moved when he was three weeks from Michigan, then Birmingham, Alabama and finally Orlando, Florida. He earned double graduation degrees in English and Religious Studies from Kenyon College. He worked as a student chaplain after graduation in a children’s hospital. His initial aim was to become an Episcopal priest. However, the time he spent among children with terminal-illness stimulated him to become a writer.
