The Fault in Our Stars by John Green



"Its a metaphor", haha! Well, I'd love to start it with that since its my favorite line from this book.
So, I am not really a big fan of romance-type of books however, I got hook up with this book because it is greatly suggested by my friends. The time when I decided to buy it was a week before the movie comes out. I went home for several days wherein I see all of my housemates silently reading this book. Then, I decided to buy it immediately and read it before the movie comes out. I bought it! But, I failed to finish reading it before watching the movie.

The Fault in Our Stars is about Hazel Grace Lancaster who had been living er life with cancer. Despite her cancer, she tends to live normally through accepting her situation. She found the love of her life through the group session she goes to for cancer patients like her. His name is Augustus Waters. I unexpectedly loved this book and their story. Its a very good book and John Green is an awesome writer. I said the word "unexpectedly" because as I have mentioned I am not that into romantic stories. I do not know but I think this is a very lovable story. I've become open to romantic stories again (should be with a twist though).

Augustus is a very lovable and adorable guy. He is fantastic. He is a dream guy. I bet those who have read it will agree with me (its a plus that it was played by Ansel Elgort, agree?). His characteristic is a  definite match to Hazel Grace. They just clicked together.

Each of the characters has a life lesson to be given to everyone who will read it. Its not a book about cancer. Its a book about life. This story will deeply touch everyone's hearts. I've learned in this book that we should always be thankful, live life happily, appreciate everything, always move forward, and love happily and unconditionally.
