The Fault in Our Stars: Final Post

Okay... I have read this book 5 times in a row now and have made so many posts about it that I have decided this will be my last post regarding The Fault in Our Stars. I would like to leave you with this note: give this book a try.


I've heard so many things about this book ranging from "this book is perfection" to "this book is cliché and like Twilight but with cancer".


Clearly, I disagree with the second one. This book has so much meaning in it and it's more then "just a romance novel."


John Green does such a great job creating characters that the reader can relate to. In every character throughout the novel, I can see parts of my personality in them. For example:


Augustus: I can relate to Augustus because of his fear of oblivion (being forgotten). I think that many people can relate to this, when you sometimes feel like everything you are doing is without a reason.


Hazel: I am similar to Hazel in how she thinks about other people. She believes that she is going to hurt others and to avoid that she tries to isolate herself.


Isaac: I think out of all the characters in the book I am most like Isaac. He believes in the goodness of everyone. That no one will hurt you. This is false, leaving Isaac hurt time and time again, yet he always remains believing that everyone is too nice to hurt anyone. Isaac also focuses on being the best friend he can. He puts everything into his relationships and friendships and is always there to help.


Hazel's Mom: I can relate to Hazel's mom a lot throughout the book. She hates seeing her people upset and would do anything to give them a time of happiness. She's trustworthy and always there to help when life gets rough.




I think no matter what your personality is you will be able to find a character you can relate to throughout the book. Overall, PERFECT book that everyone should read!
