Book Review: THE FAULT IN OUR STARS

Author: John Green
Number of Pages: 313
Publisher: Dutton Juvenile
Release Date: January 10, 2012
"Diagnosed with Stage IV thyroid cancer at 12, 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."

This book was simply AMAZING! Of course, I didn't expect anything less from John Green, because all of his books are excellent. This one was especially good because of the emotion in it. I think he really captures what it feels like to be a teen with cancer (although, I am not a teen with cancer, so I may be totally wrong about this). This book really opened my eyes on the subject of cancer. I read this book in one day, which I usually don't do. THAT'S HOW GOOD THIS BOOK IS!!!!! Read it! Read it! Read it!
My Rating: :0) :0) :0) :0) :0) 5 out of 5 smileys
Would I recommend it to a friend?: READ IT!!!

Yours,
Aceba
