“The Fault in our Stars” by John Green

How to feel and live as a person who’s suffered from cancer, a deadly disease

The novel “The Fault in our Stars” written by John Green in 2010 tells the reader about it.

Hazel, a-16- year old girl, goes to a support group to get over her depression. She doesn’t enjoy life until the day, when a boy named Augustus Waters “Gus” appears. It’s like a wonder, because he’s a person who changes her whole life: After a while they become a couple and Gus wants to make Hazel’s dreams true.

It is a story which is very close to reality, maybe because it is a real-life story. In fact, the story is also full of emotions because the characters tell you everything about their feelings and thoughts. Sometimes they are happy, and other times they are angry and then sad. You can feel with the characters because it is written in a very realistic way. But sometimes the novel is also difficult to read because there are vocabularies not everybody at my age knows.

All in all, I would say, this book is very, very good, which is also true of the film, and it’s a must-read. The language is pretty feasible because you can guess unknown words from the context. I would definitely recommend the novel to you!
