Fault in our Stars, book review by Kavya

 Book Review, by Kavya Chunduru

Fault in our Stars 

The book, “The Fault in Our Stars” by John Green is about a girl, Hazel who was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer and uses a cannula to breathe. She meets Gus, at a Cancer group, a guy with bone cancer and they instantly hit it off. The story follows them getting to know each other and their struggles with the cancer in their bodies.

I think this book was a good book. It shows the hardships that people with cancer have and how they cope with it. I liked how the author showed the 2 characters accepting their fate to die and facing their illness. Some scenes I loved from the book were when Hazel and Gus travel to Amsterdam to meet her favorite author but realized that they guy was a terrible person. Hazel talks about never meeting your heroes after the incident. The character development in this story is really good. By the end of the book, Hazel comes to terms with death. The book ended with Gus passing away after finding out that his cancer was terminal. The author spends the last chapters talking about Hazel’s life after the incident and how she healed from losing someone she loved. I think that the ending to this book was good. From the beginning of the book, you know that one of the characters is terminal and you find out that the other one is terminal too. Keeping Gus alive would be unrealistic to the story because the author was trying to bring the hardships that different Cancer patients to life. I would rate this book a 5/5 stars because it was a great book.
