A review by vivalibrarian
The Fault in Our Stars by John Green
4.0
"I'm like. Like. I'm like a grenade, Mom. I'm a grenade and at some point I'm going to blow up and I would like to minimize the casualties, okay?"
A John Green novel:
1. Geeky dude falls for impossibly gorgeous girl.
2. Girl is so far out of his league you shake your head in amazement.
3. Bad things happen.
4. Much growth, angst and wisdom occurs in such profound ways it takes your breath away.
The twist with this one is the main character is a girl, Hazel, who is living with a terminal diagnosis of cancer. Hazel falls for an impossibly gorgeous guy (ha, you thought I was gonna go...nah. not this time)who also knows what it is like to have cancer as a teenager. I love that his name is Gus.
While this may be the most random book review you've ever read, it doesn't matter. If you haven't read John Green, GO, RIGHT NOW, READ and then come back and tell me how right I am. The beauty is not in the story itself but in the intelligent, snarky, laugh-out-loud while you are sobbing way he writes fiction for teens. This is life.
