Review + AudioBook Giveaway: The Fault In Our Stars by John Green

Title: The Fault In Our Stars
Author: John Green
Genre: Young Adult
Release Date: January 10, 2012

Summary:  Despite 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. 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.

Thoughts: Hazel is a 16 year old who was diagnosed with Cancer at a very young age. Since then her life has exsist of hospitals,  doctor appointments, testing and oxygen machines. Seeing Hazel slipping into depression, her mother urges her to attend a support group for kids with Cancer. This is where she meets the amazing Augustus Waters. An event that wakes her up and changes everything.

This is the second time reading TFIOS, and its just as heartbreaking as the first time I read it. The story of Hazel & Augustus is beautiful, real and absolutely gut wrenching.  Once you start, you won't want to put it down. It will make you laugh and cry and then cry some more. John Green is a master storyteller and The Fault In Our Stars, so far is his best.  I'm always amazed how well he captures what its like and what it is to be a young adult. His characters are always real and true. A must read for all ages.

Score: 5 Stars

  1. I really need to get this story in my mind, by reading or listening, before I see the film. I hear from everyone how epic it is, and I feel I'm missing out. Thanks for the chance.
