A fault in our stars

The Fault in Our Stars is an incredible book by author John Green, published on January 10, 2012. The main character, Hazel Grace Lancaster is a 16 year old with cancer infected lungs. She goes to a support group regularly, when she meets a new kid named Augustus Waters, an amputee and former basketball player. Even though she won't admit it yet, Hazel falls in love with "Gus". Many obstacles present themselves, and Hazel and Gus go through many problems, but they still find themselves together. Two movies have since been made based on this book, one in 2014, and one in 2020. The Fault in Our Stars is a very popular and praised book by critics and young adults alike. The Manila Bulletin says; "Just two paragraphs into the work, and he immediately wallops the readers with such an insightful observation delivered in such an unsentimental way that its hard not to shake your head in admiration.". The lesson in this book inspires people because it shows that you should always make the most of life as you can, even when you're dying. You should live every day as if it's your last. Overall, I do recommend this book. It's very well written, and I think it deserves a 9.5/10.
