The book The Fault in Our Stars is an absolutely amazing books that I have ever read. It has to do with life and death but it is a book that makes you laugh, cry, smile, and worry all at the same time. It is a book that really makes you think about life and makes you feel grateful for the life that you have.  This is a book that leaves you speechless at times as well as in awe!!!This book is written very well and is a beautiful book! I love it!!!! This is my first novel written by John Green, I have never heard of him before. My friend told me about this book and I checked it out. The author, John Green is extraordinary, he writes in a way that us the readers can feel every emotion through every word that he writes.

My friend told me when I read this book to have tissues on hand because the water works would come, and she was not kidding. You need tissues when you read this book, because you will cry. But you will also smile and laugh at parts too because it is funny at times. I love this book. Like I said this is my first book that John Green has written and I have already researched his other books and plan on checking them out.

One of things that I loved so much about this book was that it had romance, a love story in it. Although it was sad it showed readers how two people can stick by one another even though one or both is sick, really sick with something as sick as cancer. Augustus aka Gus is an amazing boy in this book who I think is a perfect guy, he loves Hazel unconditionally. What is so great in my opinion is that Gus isn’t perfect, and does not make himself out to be, although he is no longer sick or fighting for his life, he still has him perfections that he deals with on a daily basis which we see in more than half of the book, later to see that is more imperfect then we are to believe, does his cancer return? Read the book and find out. Sick or not sick  he does something that I think is so romantic for Hazel which is that he makes it possible for her to go to Amsterdam and he tells her he loves her, he shares his one Wish with her, how romantic is that. John Green gets in A+ with this book because he knew how to show readers that just because you are sick or no someone that is that you can still do things you want to do, you can still fall in love and your loved ones will stand by your side.

This book ended different then how I thought it would, but that’s one of the neat things that I loved about this book, was that you think something is going to happen but there is a twist in the story. Don’t get me wrong it is still incredibly sad and makes you cry but the twist is not what you may expect. The book is mostly about Hazel and Augustus but there are so many other beautiful moments captured between Hazel and her parents, as well as Hazel and Isaac. After reading this book I can see why John Green and this book is a #1 New York Best Seller.
