The Fault in Our Stars by John Green - review

The Fault in Our Stars is about Hazel Grace Lancaster, a long-term lung cancer victim. She regularly attends Cancer Kid Support Group, finding it incredibly boring until a superbly attractive plot twist by the name of Augustus Waters turns up.

Hazel and Augustus gradually fall in love and together they travel to Amsterdam to meet Hazel's favourite author, Peter Van Houten. But when they get back, Augustus is tragically diagnosed with cancer as well.

The Fault in Our Stars was incredible because of Hazel's detailed descriptions of life with cancer and the impressive range of vocabulary but the book was also devastating, heart-rendering and beautiful.
