Title: The Fault in Our Stars
Author: John Green
Genre: YA Realistic Fiction
Rating out of 10: 9
Summary: The Fault in Our Stars is the story
of Hazel, a sixteen year old girl with terminal cancer. Ever since a tumor
shrinking miracle drug bought her a few more years, she lives her life with an
unknown expiration date. But one day at a cancer support group, she meets
Augustus Waters, and her life is instantly changed.
Opinion: Heartfelt and touching, The Fault in
Our Stars has definitely been added to my list of favorite books. The portrayal
of teenagers with cancer is realistic and insightful. It is the kind of book
that I could read multiple times, and realize something new with each re-read. Warning:
This book is a roller coaster of emotions, and may have you laughing one moment
and crying the next.
If you enjoyed . . . any of John Green’s previous books (Looking
For Alaska, Paper Towns, An Abundance of Katherines) you will love TFiOS.
