First off, I just to say that I think that it's sweet that
Esther Earls inspired this amazing book. Earls was a 16 year old girl who died
of thyroid cancer (like Hazel does) in 2011 but before, she met John Green at a
Harry Potter convention and built a friendship with him. I don’t really want to
expand into this too much but I did want to point it out.
I think that The Fault in Our Stars is an interesting and
unique story. It’s not one of those typical love stories about a vampire
risking his life because he fell in love with a human or a man fighting for the
woman he loves, even though they met two days ago. It’s simply about two different
teenagers, with cancer, who builds a friendship based off of a book that they
both like and falls in love.
I really like Green uses creativity in his story. On the
acknowledgments page, it mentions that the diseases that were used in this
story were fictionally treated. One of the pills that Hazel was taking was
called Phalanxifor… it’s not real and the fact that I can’t pronounce it means
that it’s very non-existent! I’ve never
come across a book as unique and creative as The Fault in Our Stars.
Honestly, the reason that I think that this story has been
written is because John Green wanted to make teenage girls and women and
(possibly) men cry. For me, he has succeeded. This story was very romantic and
I really can’t wait to see how it ends.
If Mr. Green were to ever come across my blog, I would ask
him to make a sequel about Hazel’s life afterwards so I would have something to
look forwards to in the end.
IT'S FAKE! (:
