I am possibly
the last person on Earth who hasn’t read The
Fault in Our Stars. I purchased my copy as soon as it was published but
stashed it away in my bedside table. I never found the right time for me to
read it after everyone told me how gut wrenching it is. With the movie on the
horizon, I promised many of my students that I would finally read the book. (I
had already seen a spoiler on Facebook one day. Ugh!) I am not going to go into
too much detail about the book because almost everyone knows what it is about.
Having read everything else by John Green, this one breaks the mold even more
than An Abundance of Katherines. (My
personal favorite because the audio version is absolutely hilarious.)
“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.” Taken
from Goodreads, because who could say it any better.
Visit John Green’s website.
The movie
opens on June 6. Visit the official
movie website.
