The Fault in our Stars...

What can I say about a book that has been talked about so much? The hype surrounding the book was exactly why I knew about it and why I bought it, and of course why I read it.

You see, I am not the biggest follower of Young Adult books. My favourite genre tends to be fantasy. But too much of one thing is never good. But it also means less familiarity towards the other fields. News reaches me in terms of books through Youtube. Almost every booktuber was proclaiming how great this book was and I was frantically searching everywhere for a hardcopy and finally found one (not that its that hard). So of course I got it.

On the bookshelf where this book stood was a card with recommendations by the staff which said that you will definitely cry reading this book. I did cry, but I am the biggest cryer in the world it really doesn't take much to get those tears coming out.

I was on very unfamiliar ground reading his book and there is such a distinct style, but I do not know whether its his writing style or if it was his distinct style of characters. And they were very interesting. As I said, they were very distinct. The three main teenagers Augustus, Hazel Grace and Isaac sound like teenagers I would actually like to hang out with, and hopefully be liked by. I like their dry humour and their observations of the world, I believe they would not be much different even without whatever disease that plague the three of them. 

And Mr. Van Houten. I mean, how do you even create such a character! I can't even describe how lunatic he is, I wonder if John Green knows anyone personally that inspired him to come out with Mr. Van Houten.

In conclusion, its the characters that did it for me. I really liked this book and though the storyline is great, I feel my lack of exposure in the YA literature condemns me to be unable to judge exactly how good it is. But one thing for sure is the characters are amazing. The characters and their interactions are what you should look out for, and how they make you feel.

I really just want a meaningful life now...

Also, I now want to explore this mystical world of John Green by reading his other novels-Paper Towns, Looking for Alaska etc.

You can get your copy of The Fault in Our Stars from The Book Depository.
