![]() ![]() ![]() The story does not glorify cancer or make martyrs of its characters. I like Hazel and Augustus as characters, and their romance, while boring, is also kind of sweet. ![]() It is decently-paced and interesting enough to keep me turning pages. So I’m going to be the prickly pear amongst the reviewers going positively ga-ga over The Fault in Our Stars. I expect too much, then ultimately feel so let-down. It’s why I prefer to read not-yet-published or very recently-published books, so that I don’t see review after review singing its praises. I hate it when I go into a book with high expectations. REVIEW: Let this be a lesson: Never judge a book by its Goodreads rating. Love ensues, and both characters really learn to live. There, she meets Augustus Waters, a 17-year old boy in remission after his leg amputation 14 months ago. When her mother encourages her to attend a support group for teens with cancer, Hazel goes reluctantly only to please her mother. She nearly succumbed to it until a medical miracle bought her some more time. SUMMARY: Sixteen-year old Hazel has battled cancer since she was thirteen. ![]()
