REVIEW: The Fault in Our Stars by John Green


Hello everyone, 



So I thought I'd add something extra to this blog and it is reviews of books that I've read or am currently reading. I love reading - there are days when I start reading something and because I get hooked onto the storyline, I can't put it down which results in no sleep.

Very bad, I know but it's a habit that I can't break.

"I fell in love the way you fall asleep: slowly, then all at once."

Despite the tumor-shrinking medical miracle that has bought her a few years, Hazel has never been anything but terminal, her final chapter inscribed upon diagnosis. But when a gorgeous plot twist named Augustus Waters suddenly appears at Cancer Kid Support Group, Hazel's story is about to be completely rewritten.

What I can say about this book is that although it seems like an easy read, it questions things that normally would not be mentioned in the open. It has the power to surprise, make you laugh out loud and cry all at the same time. 

I was recommended this book by many people - from cousins to school friends - and I am the kind of person who if someone tells me to read something, I can't but if I pick it up on my own accord, I have no problem whatsoever. 

This book was different though because the initial idea of two cancer sufferers was already interesting as it is and I can safely say that this was a lovely book to read. I am glad that I gave it a chance because I know that I would have regretted it if I hadn't.

The Fault In Our Stars is actually in the midst of becoming a movie which is said to be released in cinemas in 2014 so I would highly highly recommend reading this.

Let me know your thoughts on this book if you have read it or any other books that you're currently loving.

Have a nice day/evening.
