[Book Review] “THE FAULT IN OUR STARS - LOVE ON THE VERGE OF DEATH”

[Book Review]
“THE FAULT IN OUR STARS - LOVE ON THE VERGE OF DEATH”

To many of us, CANCER is a dreadful monster that is so willing to swallow our beautiful dreams as well as our vibrant hopes. However, when you come to “The fault in our stars”, you will take a magical journey into the deepest alleys of emotions and thoughts of cancer patients to see that there are still untold stories. Hazel, our main character, suffered from thyroid cancer and was waiting for her impending death. Out of the blue, destiny brought Augustus, a muscular and sophisticated man and a cancer survivor himself to Hazel when she was at the bottom of her misery. They strolled into the most romantic and exquisite love and cherished every minute together. I do mesmerize one intriguing detail that on their first acquaintance, Augustus pulled out a pack of cigarettes and put one between his lips, which truly made Hazel furious. However, he did not light the cigarette, he explained to her that it was just a welcoming metaphor: You put the killing thing right between your teeth, but you don`t give it the power to do so. This is one of the most meaningful and philosophical layers of the story, which were created by the acerbic writing style and a brand-new approach to life of John Green - our beloved author. Will love between 2 cancer patients stand the test of time and death? Will there be a happy ending? I recommend you read “The fault in our stars” to discover yourself the values of love and youth.
