Hey guys!
I know what you're thinking, not another post on The Fault In Our Stars. This is really not very original as everyone loves this story and is always writing and posting about it. But, I just feel so passionately about it.
I recently watched the film and it was honestly one of the best films I have ever seen. I was doubtful if the film would be half as good as the original novel by John Green, but it was. I love the way it was set out and all the characters were played perfectly.
If you don't know the story, if so, why not?!? I will briefly explain it now. (If you haven't read the book or seen the movie, do not read on, SPOILER ALERT.)
16 year old Hazel had been suffering from cancer since she was 13. There had be lots of ups and downs to her treatment, and were times where it seemed she would die. But no, she was put on a trial medicine name Phalanxifor which was currently keeping her alive.
After being forced to go to a support group by her parents, she meets a mysterious 18 year old boy named Augustus Waters. They fall in love and go on lots of exciting adventures together. Augustus was a past cancer patient and had had his leg amputated but had been cancer free for 14 months.
Whilst Hazel was at her worst, Augustus found out that he had cancer tumours throughout his body. He didn't tell Hazel this until a few weeks after, of which afterwards they made the most of the time they had left together. There beautiful love story expresses the true feeling of loosing someone you love.
What I like most about this book is that John Green hasn't just based it on the cancer side of things, but focused on the beautiful and true love that Hazel and Gus share. This novel was life changing for me and I love it so much.
Please if you haven't read this or seen the film, do it. (But bring tissues!)
