Hello Lovelies!
So, during my trip to Washington D.C. I was really craving some reading material. I really wanted to read Allegiant, the third book in the Divergent trilogy. Fortunately, the airport I was traveling in didn't have this book. But, I saw they had The Fault in Our Stars and I said, why not? right.
This is the best decision I have made in a long, long time! So, considering I have once again fallen in love with reading I decided to give you all a review (more like a spiel on why this is such an awesome book).
WARNING SPOILER ALERT!!! // WARNING SPOILER ALERT!!!
Everyone and their mother have already read this book and I know why! If you have not read John Green's masterpiece, please STOP reading and get yourself a copy this very instant. I am not usually the person to read sad, romantic, somber reads, but this book completely captivated me.It's not like a lot of us can relate to the story (most of us are, thanks to God, healthy). But this young woman's story is told so well, it is hard to believe that this is completely fiction!!!
Firstly, the actual story line. What? Absolute genius. I loved the sarcasm and humor used throughout the text. Some authors can't write sarcasm, because it is so difficult to translate this to the reader. But John Green made his characters some to life with his words, you felt in the action.
Second, the pure artistry and imaginative thinking. I loved how they called their meeting place the literal heart of Jesus. I loved how the narrator and main character, Hazel, said Augustus, the other main character, was handsome and hot and sexy, etc. (It's the way a girl really thinks) And then tying in another book and their trip to Amsterdam. Fabulous. Let me not mention how he took the simplest of words, okay, and made them seem like so much more!
Lastly, THE ENDING. We all cried, it is practically inevitable. I didn't expect Augustus to die, I half-expected her to die and the story to end in the middle of a sentence (in reference to the other book in the novel). But, I loved it. It was the most perfect, unexpected, lovely ending to an amazing novel.
I think the way Green was able to make Hazel so aware of her situation and make her so analytical of life and so intelligent and wise at such a young age is what draws so many people to read this book. Although I love thrillers and action, this romantic comedy was well written and deserves all the attention it receives.
Here is the link to the trailer for the upcoming movie {June. Yay!!!}:
If you have read this book, let me know in the comments what you thought of the book. Also, tell me if you are watching the movie {I know I am!}
Have a great day!
