Hi Everyone!
I
absolutely love to read! Especially in the summer. There is nothing
like having a good book outdoors with a cool drink beside me. I recently
finished reading The Fault in Our Stars and thought it would be fun to
write this review. Here are my thoughts:
Title: The Fault In Our Stars
Rating: 4/5
Synopsis: Hazel and Gus, teenagers who have been united through a support group session, are battling forms of cancer. The book highlights their journey together. Their journey is centered over their mutual love for a book called the Imperial Affliction in which they discover their love and friendship for each other.
Why did I pick this book?: Recommended by my sister. It is one of the top Teen picks of the summer. Thought I would give it a shot!
My Favourite Part: When Hazel and Gus are able to come together to find positivity, happiness and love through their relationship, even though they were both going through tough times.
Lessons Learned: There is always a good outcome to every bad situation.
Would I Recommend It?: I think it's a good book to read if you've never read fiction books about cancer. Although, if you are interested in seeing the movie I always think it's a good idea to read the book first.
How Would The Movie Do?: I think this type of story would be better told through screenplay on the big screen than through writing. Visually, the emotions may be portrayed in a more surreal and tangible way. I am really excited to see the movie!
Would I Read Other Books By This Author?: I've heard that John Green's "Looking For Alaska" seems to be a popular read as well. However, I'm not sure if this author's style of writing is my pick for a summer read.
My Next Read: Wild by Cheryl Strayed
