YAYAYAYAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I FINISHED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OK So I finally started reading The Fault in Our Stars (I've only had it for a month or so). It is, so far as I can tell being on Page 19, about a young girl named Hazel, she's got cancer. One day she meets and subsequently falls in love with Augustus Waters and they go on adventures as boyfriend and girlfriend.
IT'S NOT FAIR!!! It is not logical nor is it fair to make a character so lovable that you fall in love with him, erm, them in 4 pages. Nevertheless that is what happened. he has mahogany colored cropped hair and piercing blue eyes and he is lanky and tall and OMG! Well obviously John Green describes it better...Well, that escalated quickly...Suffice it to say, to quote the book, "The beautiful couple is beautiful." and then stuff happens and everything escalates and things go horribly wrong. Needless to say I couldn't bring myself to read the last couple chapters yet. I wouldn't actually recommend reading this book in one sitting, like a fine wine it should be savoured over a period of time. Also if you read it all in one sitting it will reduce you to a crying, sobbing wreck. I started to cry and dissolved in a whirlpool of feels. This book however, no matter how many times I cried while reading it, is a fantastic work by an wonderful author. He is a wonderful author, eloquent, intelligent and just plain awesome.
If you are not really that familiar with John Green I would recommend that you read his books and watch his Youtube videos. He has a couple of channels on Youtube such as: VlogBrothers, which he does with his brother Hank, CrashCourse, in which he teaches you about History and Literature and various other things, MentalFloss, in which he divulges some random and amazing facts and Hank does SciShow, in which he goes over science news and teaches you about science and HankGames in which he plays video games and other random things. Just saying they're all really awesome.
I would recommend that you read this book because John Green is a brilliant author and I would also suggest that you read his other books, his other books being: Will Grayson, Will Grayson (Which he co-wrote with David Levithan, who wrote Every You, Every Me (Also, I haven't read this yet, but I will this summer)), Looking for Alaska (Which I also haven't read yet but SUMMER!), The Fault in Our Stars (obviously), An Abundance of Katherines, Paper Towns and Let it Snow: A Collection of 3 Holiday Romances (Which he co-wrote with Maureen Johnson, author of The Name of the Star (which I reviewed in an earlier post), and Lauren Myracle (I also haven't read this yet))
I must say that the book is very good and very eloquently written and I can't wait to finish it. I think that once I have read the whole book I'll be able to appreciate it fully and form a more informed review and I CAN'T WAIT! And I'm going to stop the review here because I'm rambling.
Also here is another teaser/quote from the novel/ I felt like quoting the novel here
"I fell in love the way you fall asleep, slowly then all at once." - Hazel Grace Lancaster
