THE FAULT IN OUR STARS BY JOHN GREEN | BOOK REVIEW

By

 

The book The Fault In Our Stars deals with life, love, and loss. All the three things and many more together as a whole. A story about love, friendship, and relationship. It is my favourite book. I finished reading it for the first time last year in April 2020 when we were all in lockdown. 

Painful, flirty, and beautiful. These three words describe the whole book for me.

The main characters are Hazel Grace who has stage four lung cancer and Augustus Waters who had Osteosarcoma and has one prosthetic leg because of it.

The whole story is made a lot better by Patrick, Hazel's mom, and of course Peter Van Houten. Patrick, who is Gus's (short for Augustus) friend adds to the fun of the story. He had lost one eye as a kid and loses another one later in the novel. One of the best scenes was when he went to throw eggs at his ex-girlfriend's car. That part was hilarious just when her life gets a little better, our dear author decides to drop yet another bomb in Hazel's life.

I just want to say words have so much power. The whole novel is a work of fiction but it teaches us so much. About friendship, love, loss, pain, emotions. A beautiful novel with an awesome story. 


I would rate it 4.5 out of 5. I highly recommend reading this book. If you are into teen drama/love/romance. Or even if you have just started reading. This is a must-read for you then.


The end is tragic. I just didn't get the part of giving the readers a slow heart attack. I mean it was like going through a breakup without even having a relationship in the first place. I remember I had cried for two nights while reading this book. I had cried so much that I got sick for a week actually. So read it at your own risk. I'm just kidding! Please do read it. I love this book so much.

Here is a link if you are too cheap to buy the real book and want to read it by downloading a pdf - Thefaultinourstars.pdf 

I hope you liked it. Here is a picture I took a few days ago. I hope you have a day better than yesterday



Thats all for now. Ciao ;)
Still an average teenager hoping for a blissful life ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

22 BEST QUOTES FROM ONE OF US IS LYING BY KAREN M. MCMANUS

Here are the 22 best quotes I found in the book One of Us is Lying. It's a good book. I read it 3 months ago. The book is about four people who are suspects in the death of a fellow student. But you are here for the Quotes not the story so I won't bore you with the story(I will give a gist at the end though, basically I complain about the characters). The quotes are not just good and mind-blowing, amazing things(more words like that) the people said in the book, there are also lines which I found funny and amusing. You should know that finding lines that have enough context to qualify as funny is hard. So sometimes I have to turn the lines into paragraphs like I had to do in  Turtles All The Way Down . But trust me that one was so worth it cause I love that book. So here they are -  Justin is twelve years younger than my mother, which makes him five years younger than her second husband, and fifteen years younger than my dad. At the rate she’s going, she’ll date Jake next. Bec...

BEST QUOTES FROM TURTLES ALL THE WAY DOWN BY JOHN GREEN

  I was beginning to learn that your life is a story told about you, not one that you tell. You think you’re the painter, but you’re the canvas . I thought about how we all believed ourselves to be the hero of some personal epic, when in fact we were basically identical organisms colonizing a vast and windowless room. Was thinking that if half the cells inside of you are not you, doesn’t that challenge the whole notion of me as a singular pronoun, let alone as the author of my fate? We were looking at the same sky together, which is maybe more intimate than eye contact anyway. Anybody can look at you. It’s quite rare to find someone who sees the same world you see. Maybe you’ve been in love. I mean real love, the kind my grandmother used to describe by quoting the apostle Paul’s First Letter to the Corinthians, the love that is kind and patient, that does not envy or boast, that beareth all things and believeth all things and endureth all things. I don’t like to throw the L-word a...

  According to science, you start off as coal and you end up as coal This isn’t a non-profit organisation. Though I have to say it is rapidly becoming one. She realised that’s what she was. A black hole. A dying star, collapsing in on itself The silence was louder than noise. The good stuff makes it worthwhile Why are you just standing in the middle of the room? Are you getting ready for bed or are you doing some kind of standing meditation? Fish get depressed when they have a lack of stimulation. A lack of everything. When they are just there, floating in a tank that resembles nothing at all. Maybe in some lives you just float around and expect nothing else and don’t even try to change. Maybe that was most lives. Most gossip is envy in disguise It can drive you insane, thinking of all the other lives we don’t live Places are places and memories are memories and life is fucking life. ‘I never found the companion that was so companionable as solitude.’ He believed that the more peo...

10 BEST QUOTES FROM I'M THINKING OF ENDING THINGS BY IAN REID

10 BEST QUOTES FROM I'M THINKING OF ENDING THINGS BY IAN REID Here is a list of the best quotes I found from the book I'm Thinking of Ending Things By Ian Reid.  Part of everything will always be forgettable. No matter how good or remarkable it is. It literally has to be. “Sometimes a thought is closer to truth, to reality, than an action. You can say anything, you can do anything, but you can’t fake a thought.” And it’s thoughts that count. Thought is reality. Actions can be faked. I think a lot of what we learn about others isn’t what they tell us.  It’s what we observe . People can tell us anything they want.  It’s amazing that relationships can form and last under the constraints of never fully knowing. Never knowing for sure what the other person is thinking. Never knowing for sure who a person is. “I guess so. In space, everything has its relative position. Space is an entity, right, but also limitless. It’s less dense the farther out you go, but you can always ke...
