The Fault in our Stars-Review

            This book took me through more emotions then any other book I’ve read.  The story is beautifully heartbreaking, with truth, humor, irony, and so much more thrown in. 

           The book tells the story of Hazel Grace Lancaster and Augustus Waters, and their battles with cancer. It is told through the voice of Hazel, and John Green does a wonderful job of giving an honest look of a girl who is angry that cancer has dramatically decreased her life expectancy, while still having her feel like a real person.

           John Green takes is at his best when he so beautifully melds drama and heartbreak with humor. The book never takes you too far in one direction.  There are beautifully romantic or tragic moments, and Green immediately follows it by making you laugh out loud. Conversely, a light moment will end bringing you back to reality.

            This book looks in to what it means to be a family, a child, a heroine, and even what it means to be alive.  I would recommend this book again and again to young adult and adult readers alike.
