If you are one to cry at 2 a.m. after completing a book, this is the right book for you. The Fault in Our Stars is the most amazing book I have yet to read. No book has satiated me in the way that The Fault in Our Stars has. I've read it more than 10 times since I first picked it up in February. The Fault in Our Stars focuses on two characters: Hazel Grace and Augustus "Gus" Waters, who meet at a support group. Hazel Grace Lancaster suffers from stage IV thyroid cancer while Augustus has Osteosarcoma, which is why he has a prosthetic leg. This book does not talk about their lives and how strong they are for going about life with cancer. This is not a book about Cancer. This is not an inspirational story that gives you a moral to follow each and every day. If you would like one of those books, please read an autobiography or memoir.

Words cannot sum up what this book is about and the feeling it leaves you when you complete it. It is the most beautiful, heart-warming yet heart-wrenching story that I have ever read. A friend told me that the best books don't need to have the most complex language. For me, this is that book. Filled with humour here and there and the most unique way of expressing feelings, the book places you in the shoes of Hazel Grace. You feel what Hazel feels, you see what Hazel sees, and at the end of the novel, Hazel Grace's character leaves such a strong impact on your daily life that you start to view your own life the way Hazel did with hers. John Green is an artist, and The Fault in Our Stars is his Mona Lisa.

I highly recommend this book for anyone and everyone. Young, old, soft-hearted, you name it. You will enjoy this book.


The author's comments:
This book means the world to me, and I do hope that you feel the same way about it as well. I do warn readers to be prepared for tears and an empty feeling at the end of the novel.
