The fault in our stars


The book that we would be reviewing today is, 'The fault in our stars' written by John Green. 


John Green is also well known for his other popular books like, 'The paper towns', 'Looking for Alaska' and 'Will Grayson, Will Grayson'.



The fault in our stars is a young adult fiction novel about teenagers suffering from cancer. The plot is narrated by Hazel Grace who suffers from thyroid cancer and her journey with a boy, Augustus Waters she meets in a cancer support group. It is a heart-wrenching story that would change your perspective of life.


'The world is not a wish-granting factory'  is a quote from the book that presents us with the painful truth of the universe. We do not get everything that we wish for.


'Some infinities are bigger than other infinities'  is an excerpt that explains that there are greater things in life than those that we constantly are concerned about. It is beautifully illustrated in this book.


'We do not get to choose if we want to get hurt but we do have some say in who hurts you' is a quote from the book which explains us the beauty of life and the choices we make in our limited time on Earth.


'Pain, it demands to be felt' is a quotation from the book that demonstrates to us that feeling the pain and accepting it is the only way you can ever be healed of it.


It is a young adult book nevertheless I strongly suggest that it needs to be read by everyone. I shall ask you to read the book before watching the movie because the film has missed some remarkably good chapters and scenarios due to the limited amount of time. I would rate this as a 5-star book.
