THE FAULT IN OUR STARS

Finally, I decided to start reading my book, The Fault In Our Starts, as I have been looking forward to this for a long time. Sadly, I am not one of those persons who can easily sit down and read a book. Even if everyone is telling me it is the greatest book ever and I would be a complete fool not to.

Without giving away any spoilers, I will tell you what has happened in the book so far. 

In the beginning, you learn that the main character, Hazel Grace, has cancer. She is getting depressed about it, so both her mom and doctor decides it would be best for her to join a support group. Every wednesday, Hazel and a couple other teenagers meet in a basement of a church. When they are there they talk about their diseases, and how they are there for each other. One day, wednesday to be exact, there was a new boy in the group named Augustus. Isaac, one of the members who were already there, brought him as moral support. Augustus could not stop staring at Hazel, something she turned into a staring contest. After the group session was over, they started talking. Hazel ended up going over to his house for a movie. Augustus meant it was important that she watched it straight away, and preferably over at his house. 

Here is a description of the two main characters.

Hazel Grace: She is 17 years old, and lives with her mom. She has lung cancer, so she has to walk around with a cannula (It gives her oxygen so it is easier for her to breathe). According to her, cancer is only a side effect of dying. She has short brown hair and green eyes. Because of the treatment, she describers herself as having chipmunk cheeks. The story is told through Hazels perspective. 

Augustus: He is a good-looking 17 year old boy with dark hair. When he was younger he had cancer as well. Unfortunately he had in his leg so he had to amputate. He lives with his family, which consists of two sisters, mom, and dad. One of his biggest fears is oblivion, as he wants to be known for doing something good in the world. 

I hope this inspired you to read the book as well! I already recommend it, even though I have only read about 50 pages. 

Hello readers!

In english class we are learning about literature, which means we have to read a novel. We could choose which ever novel we wanted, as long as it was in english.

I chose "The Fault In Our Stars", by John Green. I have had very many recommendations to read this, so it was an easy choice for me. I am really exited about this book, even though I normally wouldn't read a book like this... or even a book at all. :)

My expectations are actually quite high. I am expecting it to be one of the saddest books I will ever read.

Wish me luck!
