The Fault in Our Stars

The Fault in Our StarsThe Fault in Our Stars by John Green
My rating: 1 of 5 stars

The one significant line that stood out to me from the whole book:
"My thoughts are stars I can't fathom into constellations." (only because I am obsessed with stars and the meaning and beauty behind them.)

As for the rest of the book, it sucked.

The author used the heart strings of the reader and the sympathies towards young adults with terminal diseases, especially cancer. It's a story of young love that is at the hands of fate and however long it allows these two main characters to suffer. Whether it is due to the hands of cancer or separation from the young lover that is lost. A tale that is played out predictably and not near as successful as the famous story of Romeo and Juliet. Although there are no warring families, it lacks the sincerity and passion that the classic provides. Nice try John Green, but it was a fail.
