The Fault in Our Stars by John GreenMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
I know there are naysayers that absolutely abhor this particular work, but I for one, LOVED IT. Perhaps it's because I fell in love with the movie first, and then read the work...I know, a big no no, but it just worked out that way...and the two were very much alike (a few changes here and there, but nothing too grossly out of sorts). Maybe it's because I like the uppity way these two teens battling the unseen enemy night and day manage to find something else entirely to put their focus on, reach towards, and fight for/about. Maybe it's how the author of Hazel's favorite work is truly an a** and despite her fondest desires to know the "more", he won't provide it. Could even possibly be how Augustus isn't perfect, but for Hazel, he tries to be, and yet the moments where he drops the façade and overacting is when she falls for him most. I don't know, I can't really pin it down, but I just LIKE it, and if you don't, no harm done...but if you haven't tried it yet, give it a whirl! It may just be your next favorite for no particular reason read too.
Okay? Okay. ;)
