Wow! what took me so long to pick up this book and read it? John Green writes a beautiful story of a sixteen year old girl who has been fighting cancer for the past three years. Not really in remission, the meds she's on are just really buying her time. Hazel meets Augustus at a Support Group, which is composed of teenagers living with cancer. The Fault in Our Stars is the story of Hazel & Augustus. I've read a variety of interesting commentaries of this novel. They all just prove that your personal experiences impact your perspective and connection to what you read. I thought this book was very well done and that the emotions of teenagers dealing with life-threatening diseases were well portrayed. What families of cancer victims and survivors experience cannot possibly be understood by others, I felt as though this book at least offers readers a glimpse into that world.
