While the characterization and story was believable, poignant, and very well done, there are moments within the novel that clog it beyond being reasonable. For those of us who have had failing loved ones, Green's novel makes it a process that comes as a thing easier to accept than do a lot of novels along these medical-story veins. Nonetheless, the description of what happens (I refuse to tell you) is so accurate, that my heart squeezed in on itself the further in I read. The emotional rollercoaster Green sends us on is a sort of thing that happens every day, and granted, I think anyone who picks this up and knows that both of the characters are at-risk for cancer recurrence. The characters in Green's novel are very, very well drawn and developed on a real scale I found it incredibly easy to think that this is a story that could have happened with currently-existing people. The relationship blooms over the course of the story as Augustus manages to help one of Hazel's dreams come true: to meet her favorite author and find out how a cliffhanger novel that the man wrote turns out.
The two hit it off, and we begin to see that they're both incredibly smart and genuinely fond of one another. In the support group one day, she meets a seventeen-year-old osteosarcoma survivor, and consequential amputee, named Augustus Waters. She has had thyroid cancer all her life, and it has spread to her lungs despite the lack of tumors in her body at the moment we meet her.
The story begins in Indianapolis with sixteen-year-old Hazel Grace attending her cancer support group. The Fault in Our Stars proves to be a lovely-albeit heartbreaking-story sometimes clogged by forced existentialism.
Consequently, as a good reviewer and reader always should, I took it upon myself to investigate this book before the movie comes out on June 6th. Only, I hadn't yet discovered that in order to fully determine the quality of something one has no clue of, one must endeavor to investigate said thing to make a concrete proclamation. The only reason I could think of for this sudden, acclaimed reception was that John Green is the author. When John Green's The Fault in Our Stars was released, I had heard about it briefly and saw the rave reviews come flooding in. Inexplicably popular books take up the vast majority of shelf space in bookstores across the country. Movie Reviews (Main) > Movie Reviews (Main).Indie Reviews (Main) > Indie Reviews (Main).
