《星星的错》                  

    This is a novel from 16-year-old Hazel Grace Lancaster’s point of view, a girl who has terminal* lung cancer and has been battling cancer since she was 13. When she attends a Cancer Children Support Meeting and encounters Augustus Waters, her life changes dramatically.

    Waters provided much needed companionship* and humor. He reminded Hazel not to let the cancer consume her and let it take away her hopes, dreams and social life. He also showed her what it felt like to be unconditionally loved. His bravado* and swagger* was very much like how a young male might handle situations, but he was also not afraid to let Hazel (and the reader) see his vulnerable side. The witty and thought-provoking conversation between the two really helped the flow, and lightened the mood of a novel surrounding a rather serious topic. They ask the questions that relate to all of us: Will I be loved? Will I be remembered? Will I leave a mark?

    The author John Green has the ability to handle the pace of a novel well and appropriately, and can create characters with a voice that will touch the reader.

    “The Fault in Our Stars” isn’t a depressing read, then again, it isn’t an uplifting* novel either. It is simply a truthful depiction of love, loss, and the life of a young girl who has cancer. It is an insightful and moving novel that will leave you with a lump* in your throat, but with a more optimistic view of life. (SD-Agencies)
