A review by sarahbloom
The Fault in Our Stars by John Green

3.0

I wanted to really like this book. It's been on my to-read list for a little while. It is a good (and sad) story, and the character of Augustus Waters reminded me a little of Owen Meany in John Irving's classic novel (one of my all-time favorite books). I never grew bored with "Fault", and started and finished it without being diverted by other books (uncommon for me, as I tend to read 2-3 books at the same time). However, I don't think this is one of those books that appeals equally to grown adults and younger readers (like Harry Potter, for example). So, while I didn't LOOOOOVE it, I believe my teenager (a reading nut like me) DEFINITELY would. It's well narrated, engaging, sad in the way reality often is -- just not my cup of tea.
