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

5.0

Yes, I cried. Of course I cried. What kind of soulless being would I be if I didn´t cry after reading this book? It was my second book by John Green, and having extremely high expectations for it (you know, for the little bit of hype it received), I have to say this book didn´t dissapoint. I like how the story is about a terminal desease, but the main character doesn´t spend all of her time whining and complaining about it, and the illness doesn´t consume all of her life either. The themes the author talks about are universal (love, death, and the beauty of life), but the perspective from which this book is narrated make it unique. John Green is an amazing author, creating a story that makes you laugh and cry and everything in between.
As for the characters, I loved how Isaac, Augustus and Hazel got along, and how their relationship evolved through the novel. Speaking of relashionships, I actually believe Augustus and Hazel are one of the best coulples in YA literature, and I became attached to them almost as much as they became attached to each other. I really liked the way the author described the emotions and actions of what is probably the worst situation possible: Having a son or a daughter terminally ill. I respected the parent figures in this book, and I think they could be really close to reality, which makes it even more devastating for the reader.
5 stars. Well done, John Green.
