But when a gorgeous plot twist named Augustus Waters suddenly appears at Cancer Kid Support Group, Hazel’s story is about to be completely rewritten. My hope is not that I feel better about my own life because Hazel and Gus went through a challenging time in their young lives, but that I have a better understanding of what is in front of me, no matter how short it may be.Title & Author: The Fault in Our Stars by John Greenĭespite the tumor-shrinking medical miracle that has bought her a few years, Hazel has never been anything but terminal, her final chapter inscribed upon diagnosis. This time, I felt more clarity, noticing other minute details that made the world of difference. With all that being said, The Fault in Our Stars is a story that has numerous thoughts that circulate in a variety of situations and can spark interesting dialogue with an abundance of themes to discuss. Additionally leading to further conversations with others who have thoughts or ideas. I was quite annoyed at the ending because I wanted to know, was it all a dream? I am slowly realizing that that is not the point – the take-away is what you want it to be, whatever one’s imagination leads them to. However, I believe that makes me a stronger reader and hopefully a better writer. I frequently have a hard time appreciating a story that does not wrap up in a nice package and a big bow – closure, you may call it. Something about feeling that connected to a story, finding numerous similarities and wondering “What if” at the sudden ending makes it that much more – like it’s calling to you somehow, as you immerse yourself in the stories and the lives of the characters. This time, I actually read the Author’s Note which explained the fictitious work he included – whoops. I, along with others most likely, hoped that this book existed in real life. One aspect of the novel that I absolutely adore is Hazel’s fascination with Peter Van Houten’s book An Imperial Infliction. Insightful, bold, irreverent, and raw, The Fault in Our Stars is award-winning author John Green’s most ambitious and heartbreaking work yet, brilliantly exploring the funny, thrilling, and tragic business of being alive and in love.
