Book Review by Amber Meinen
Book Title: The fault in our stars
Author: John Green
Year of Publication: 2012
Number of pages: 264 pages
Theme: One of the themes is unconditional love. I think so, because Hazel first did
not want to fall in love with Augustus and referred to herself as a grenade that will
destroy everything and everyone close to her sooner or later and she wants to
protect Augustus from that. Augustus knows that she wants to distance herself from
him, but continues to love her. When the tables turn and it becomes clear that
Augustus does not have very long to live anymore, Hazel loves him harder than ever.
She keeps fighting for him, even though now he has turned into the grenade Hazel
first was. I think the reason why the book has been written is to show how it is to live
with a terrible disease as cancer and that life is short. You have to enjoy every single
minute of your life because you’ll never know when it ends. The book also shows you
can live your life with someone who has cancer, like the parents of Hazel Grace. The
parents of Hazel Grace decide to tell other people about their experience how they’ve
dealt with the disease of their daughter It makes Hazel Grace happy that her parents
can continue their life when she will be gone. The Theme of the book is unconditional
love and living with a terrible disease, which kills you and still be able to love other
people.
Plot: Hazel Grace goes to support group, because her mother wants her to go. One
time during support group when she sits on a chair and listens to other people’s
stories, a boy is watching her all the time. Hazel gets really nervous and is asking
herself why he’s watching her. As soon as support group finished, Hazel walks to the
boy and asks him why he was watching her all the time. The boy, Augustus, tells her
she is really beautiful and says he likes to watch beautiful people. Then Augustus
invites her to come over to his house. The both of them share their stories about their
diseases. Hazel tells him about the book An imperial affliction. He decides to read the
book for her. They discuss the book and Hazel Grace tells him she doesn’t like the
end of the book, because it ends in the middle of a sentence. She really wants to
know what happened to the cancer patient, Anna, but the book doesn’t tell.
Augustus contacts by e-mail the secretary of the author Van Houten, Liedewij. He
asks her what the end of the book will be. Liedewij replies his e-mail and says that
she can’t tell the end of the story by mail. However she invites them to come to
Amsterdam to get the answers on their questions about the book. Hazel Grace really
wants to go to Amsterdam but there is one problem; it is almost impossible to go by
plane due to her disease. Augustus makes an arrangement with the organization ‘Do
a Wish’ which enables her to go to Amsterdam. One month before they go to
