A review by iris_ymra
The Fault in Our Stars by John Green
3.0
'The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars / But in ourselves.'
'But we’re disorganized mourners, so a lot of people end up remembering Shakespeare, and no one ends up remembering the person he wrote Sonnet Fifty-five about.'
'Some infinities are bigger than other infinities.'
_______
This book is a pretty slow paced for me, half through the book (and still) and I could say for me that this book has not so much of solid great storyline -- perhaps I have such high anticipation. The theme of this book is not new to me, and I think that this book particularly written with a mediocre plot. Though I must say the last almost 20% of the book got me shading my tears all the way to the end -- I soaked my bed sheet. And the author is an intelligent indeed for how he crafted his words through his writing.
I think my reading was slightly tedious as well -- maybe because I find it sometimes too much detailed on the narration yet lack of characters' impressiveness. But, what I know for sure both Hazel and Augustus are utterly smart. Though they are a bit cringy for me.
I noticed too that the AIA book, plays a notably significant big role on how this book storyline developed, which I can't help but has more curiosity about the book and even Peter Van Houten as much as I should have on both Hazel and Augustus.
