The Fault in Our Stars
The book I read for the first quarter was the Fault in Our Stars by John Green that consisted of 313 pages. The main character of the book, Hazel Grace was very relatable and inspiring to me. Hazel Grace has Stage IV Thyroid cancer with metastasis forming in her lungs, and is a funny and intelligent teenager. Hazel Grace is relatable because she is moody at times, can be anti-social, and feels misunderstood. I think every teenager can relate to having these traits or characteristics so it connected with me personally. Hazel Grace also experiences romance in this novel. Hazel Grace first meets her future boyfriend, Augustus Waters, at a support group for teenagers with severe medical conditions. She instantly noticed him and he instantly noticed her too. Hazel never thought that she would meet a boy she was interested in, yet alone interested in her, while she had her medical condition. Augustus waters brought adventure and change in Hazel's life and it frightened and delighted her at the same time. Hazel pushed him away for a little while because she thought it was too good to be true and believed that the relationship wouldn't end up well. The writing of the novel was simplistic and beautiful at times. The novel was written from Hazel's point of view and showed her struggles and way of thinking. The character Augustus Waters was definitely dynamic. Augustus was always full of energy, ideas, and always had a positive attitude, which was one of the reasons Hazel liked him. I liked this book because it showed the life of a smart girl with a severe medical condition throughout her daily life. This book constantly had me coming back to read more because of the bustling romance and intriguing struggles of Hazel's life. This book is full of surprises but I can't disclose any major parts because it would spoil the story!
