A review by chelseatm
The Fault in Our Stars by John Green
5.0
My review may seem incoherent at first since I just finished reading the book less than five minutes ago but I couldn't wait a second longer to talk about this book.
At first I was thrown by the immature language (the book is written from the perspective of a teenager so what do you expect?) but that was quick to get past. I mean, really, language usage is something of an important factor when it comes to young adult literature.
Once I was past the minuscule annoyance of language (the annoyance dissolved completely as I kept reading) I was enraptured in the wonderful plot and characters. Everyone was lovely to get to know without any of the pretense that comes with young adult literature (ie overbearing parents, us against the world mentalities etc etc).
As I read the book, I kept expecting that the story would be about Hazel Grace dying but instead it was about her living, about wanting to live or at least to give a purpose to her life.
I was surprisingly devastated and moved deeply by the end of the book (a lot of tears) but I so enjoyed my experience with this book.
I highly recommend this book and i'm excited to embark on the author's other novel "Looking for Alaska."
