TFIOS is about 15 year old, cancer-fighting Hazel Grace Lancaster who meets Augustus Waters at a cancer support group. Little does she know that their union would change her life forever. I enjoyed reading TFIOS, especially since it was the first book by John Green that I’ve read. His writing style is different from other books I’ve read because it’s more casual. However, I only gave it 4 stars because I noticed that almost all of Green’s characters seemed too alike – they were very witty.

I recommend this book for all ages. Hazel is going through a tough time with cancer. Her mom makes her join a support group to help her. They discuss their cancer, what type they have, their names and ages, and how they’re feeling. She hates it until her friend Izac brings his friend, Augustus. Soon Hazel and him fall in love until Augustus tells Hazel the bad news. It will leave a dent in Hazel’s heart.

I loved this book. It had an amazing story and it really touched my heart. A description of the book would be a girl named Hazel Grace falls in love with a boy named Augustus, and during their story something very tragic happens. Actually more than one tragic thing.

Hazel Grace has a cancerous tumor growing inside her body. Despite the medication she is on to try and shrink the tumor, there is no guarantee how much longer she will live. When Hazel meets Augustus Waters at her cancer support group her life gets flipped upside-down. I liked this book, but I thought the plot wasn’t very creative. It was your typical love story and I didn’t like it that much.

Despite Hazel’s tumor-shrinking miracle, she is still found to be terminal. However, she meets a strange boy named Augustus at the Cancer Kids support group. Both open each other’s worlds in ways they never thought were possible. I really enjoyed the romance between the characters, no matter how sad it was. For middle and high school teens + adults.

Hazel Grace Lancaster has cancer. Due to her cancer, she has to use an oxygen tank to breathe properly. The book begins with Hazel attending a cancer support group – reluctantly – due to her mother’s forcing her to. Hazel’s life is written in stone, as she is closer to death than she can believe due to her cancer. Luckily, she had a “cancer-shrinking” medical miracle that has bought her a few years. At the support group she meets a guy named Augustus Waters. But what she was unaware of was what was in store for her after meeting Augustus.
I found that the storyline was easy to follow and interesting along the way. I did find Hazel and Augustus to be boring teenagers, though. Overall, this book was great aside from the characters! For middle and high school teens + adults.

“The Fault in Our Stars” by John Green follows Hazel Grace Lancaster, a 16-year-old girl living with cancer. She attends a support group against her will where she meets Augustus Waters, a charming and witty boy who is in remission from osteosarcoma. Hazel and Augustus form a bond over their shared experiences with cancer, love, and books. They both go on a trip to Amsterdam to meet the author of their favorite book, “An Imperial Affliction.” Little would they know, that both of their worlds would get turned upside-down.
I loved how “The Fault in Our Stars” is mostly touching and emotional. Some parts in the book turn a little bit overdramatic. I was not too fond of the main characters because they were unrelatable and sometimes boring. The plot is also very predictable. For middle and high school readers.
