The Fault in Our Stars by John Green
5.0
Not a subject I was drawn to, but started this story just because of the good reviews.
It is so stunningly well written, perfect prose and just the right level of pathos. The raw honesty of living with cancer through the eyes of young people who refer to their “cancer selves” and even manage to show a respect for the disease because “just like me, it just wants to live”.
The sadness of Hazel’s “great and terrible 10 (pain)” balances with the unvarnished way that cracks on with what bit of life she has.
Fwooof!!
Heavy, but very very good.
