Book Review - The Fault in Our Stars

Month 1 of my 2014 Book Challenge
So, if you haven't heard already, 'The Fault in our stars' by John Green is a-maze-ing!! It is going to be so hard not to reveal any spoilers, so if you are one of those people who hate being told about things before they experience it themselves (me included) look away now.



This beautifully written novel tells the story of a 16 year of girl, Hazel Grace Lancaster who meets a guy, travels to Germany with him and falls in love. But she has cancer. She meets Augustus Waters at her cancer support group. He is witty and charming and as she herself puts it, 'HOT'!

There is a good reason this book is on the New York Times best-sellers. The sentences are strung together in a way that's believable, humorous and yet deep with meaning. But it's the lovable hero and heroine, their intelligence and the sweetness yet unforeboding nature of their love which makes this book for me. But beware: Its a tear jerker. I have even heard that people have had to 'mentally prepare' themselves before tackling it. Me? Well I was sobbing for an entire half an hour after I had finished.

I am a true believer that you have to read the book before you see the movie (in most cases).So its lucky for you that there you still have 5 months to read it before the movie comes out! Whoop Whoop!
