'I am in love with you', he said quietly.
'Augustus', I said.
'I am, he said.
He was staring at me, and I could see the corners of his eyes crinkling.
'I am in love with you and I am not in the business of denying myself the simple pleasure of saying true things. I'm in love with you and I know that love is just a shout into the void, and that oblivion is inevitable, and that we're all doomed and that there will come a day when all our labor has been returned to dust and I know the sun will swallow the only Earth we'll ever have, and I am in love with you.
*John green, in this book (the fault in our stars) takes the tragedy of CANCER and immerses us in the lives of characters that could very well be real. He brings his story in the form of a teen girl. Hazel lancaster, stricken with cancer from a young age. When she meets a young man Augustus waters, a survivor of cancer.
He is drawn to her in a way that is initially uncomfortable, and as she tries to push him away in her sarcastic vein, he finds her to be exactly the type of girl he has been looking for.*
- Throughout the story there is beauty and humour.
- Be prepared for a story of romance and anger , excitement and humour, and friendship and bravery for that is the direction we are led as green develops the personality of a group of teens that have the courage to bring both laughter and tears.
- The friendship as well as the depths the families go through preparing for the worst while holding out hope is like a beacon of light.
- Green takes you on a journey both terrible and beautiful.
- Cancer is such a dreadful disease, indiscriminate in its choice of victim, choosing with aplomb regardless of age, gender, or status.
- Green shines a light on cancer in a way that sends a tremor of intent awareness, incandescent monument to those that have both won and lost the fight, as well as the damage done to those closest.
- The story blasts away the veil of secrecy and hooks you from the very beginning.
It’s so rare for me to read a book that doesn’t have a happy ending, but I felt I had to make an exception in this case. The Fault In Our Stars was a beautiful book, with beautiful moments and a beautiful story. Augustus and Hazel have a special place in my heart now.
But yeah, my heart still hurts. A lot.
Okay?
Okay.
