I do not remember reading any book which is even the slightest bit of akin to this one. The book was simply devastating and explains best the concept of life, death and everything in between… It was a book of its kind. But Alas! “The world is not a wish-granting factory.”Is it? I wanted it to different for both, Hazel and Augustus. Whatever happened in the novel, I didn’t want it to happen. It reminded me of a line in the book “The Universe feels the need to be noticed”. I just picked up my laptop and started typing! And then… Finally came the tears… making my vision blurry, fighting all their way through my eyelids to notify their presence.
Right now, “My thoughts are stars that I cannot fathom into constellations…” I don’t know how to express myself! I am actually spellbound! I loved the book and have no words which can describe what I am feeling right now!!!Īfter reading the book, I was completely numb! I couldn’t cry, I couldn’t laugh, I couldn’t think! Actually… I couldn’t BREATHE! I didn’t WANT to breathe… I just wanted to sit there and cry my heart out! I kept hearing the last words of the novel “I do Augustus, I do” echoing in my mind! I was so stunned to decide anything, so damn numb to speak anything! It was around 30 minutes past midnight that I devoured the entire book. “Sometimes, you read a book and it fills you with this evangelical zeal and you are convinced that the shattered world cannot be put together unless all the living humans read that book” The Fault in our Stars is this type of a book! But is now absolutely good!Ĭancer is a topic which is deadly but still, no one bothers talking about it, or discussing it… John Green has very well talked about cancer patients giving the readers a chance to ponder upon it. What it feels like to live with Cancer since you were merely 13! The story revolves around Hazel’s life… How she copes with everything and tries to act like a normal teenager just for the sake of her parents!Īugustus Waters – My favorite character of the book – is a 17-year-old boy who is in love with Hazel and has had a touch of osteosarcoma (Cancer) a few years ago. The story is narrated in the first person by a 16 – year old cancer patient, Hazel Grace.
