The Fault In Our Stars

  Dear all readers, if you ever get your hands on this book, you MUST read it!
  The Fault In Our Stars is a inspirational book that gives you insight on the lives and minds of kids who suffer from cancer.
  When I first saw the book, I expected it to be about how cancer changed the life of the main protagonist Hazel. But instead, I found that it really jumped over that part and showed me the side of which not a lot of people think about. What happens after they survive? After surviving cancer once, you will always have a chance of relapse. The kids in the book are all living under the shadow of going through the whole process of battling cancer for their lives again. This time they might not win. I find Hazel to be a bright and brave character despite how she appeared to be. At first Hazel seemed very depressed and generally fell into the pessimistic side of things. But later as we explore her deepest thoughts and emotions, I am amazed at how strong she is. Being able to think of others when she is in need of help, wanting to limit the damage and scars she will leave behind after she dies. It's impossible just to think how hard it is, to push people away sometimes just because she doesn't want them to get hurt.

  I also enjoyed all the philosophical arguments in the book. Both Hazel and Augustus have thought a lot about life and the meaning of life. They both are big readers and often refer to poems and other books. They are both people who love literature, and I enjoy reading about how they look at the world.
