Life is short. Life is cruel. Life is unfair. All we do is just sit idly, waiting for our ends. But somewhere, a ray of bright light exists and someday, it will reveal itself. After that, life will gradually become beautiful.
This is one of the very few philosophies The Fault in Our Stars teaches us.
Hazel, a teenager suffering from mets in her lungs, reluctantly attends the local cancer support group for cancer ridden teenagers. In one of the session, she meets Augustus Waters, a boy who had suffered osteosarcoma because of which he's lost his right leg.
Their friendship blossoms as books, opinions and playful, sarcastic comments are exchanged and personal philosophies are explained. Soon enough, they begin spending almost every day together. Their relationship deepens as tears, laughter and a surprising trip to Amsterdam are shared.
Although many might think this is a typical cancer based romance novel, I assure you it is not. On the surface level, this book is a humourous read with a little tear shedding. But once you think about the meaning behind disguised phrases and a few mind boggling quotes, you might say this is certainly a touching book on life's different aspect and harsh realities a lot of us are afraid to face.
Inspiring. Transforming. Captivating. Moving. Unveiling.
This is definitely John Green's best novel so far. Take a bow, Mr. Green.
Oh yes, it's a must read. :)
