"Some infinities are bigger than other infinities."
This quote is not only one of my favorites but it's also one of most famous ones from the book.
This month is Fiction February in my English class and I must say that I'm very excited about this unit! For Fiction February, I've chosen the famous book 'The Fault in Our Stars' by John Green. I've been reading I've gotten the book and was trying to get done with it before the movie version came out but that didn't happen so I've decided to just finish it for this assignment!
I can't say The Fault in Our Stars is my favorite book, simply because Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen is my favorite, but this comes in a close second and I'm only halfway done. When I told a couple of people that I was getting this book, they told me not to get it because it was really bad. Of course I didn't listen because I really don't listen to people but in this particular case, I'm glad I didn't listen. I think that this story is really sweet and so romantic in a cheesy way! I don't understand how people could not like it... unless your a guy and likes to read books about zombies. Then, that's different!
I'm really looking forward to see how the story ends.... even though I've seen the movie five times at this point. When it comes to books and the movie versions, I believe that the books give more depth and more details that the movie could not give because of the time length.
"Okay? Okay."
I think this book could've simply had more descriptive words in it, but, overall its a good book! ^.^ comment by @Mr_and_Mrs_Cullen
ReplyDeletePeople who read books, particularly those who are quick to criticise, need to remember that there are different genres of fiction; particularly those which surround teen fiction. John Green's books are about as teen-fiction-only as it gets. They explore growing up, they explore hardships, they explore what it's like to be a teenager. Albeit, rarely in a typical way. Yet, personally, there is one asset, besides style and humour, which has made his book sell so well: relatability. Everybody, male or female, young or older, can relate to the characters, if not the events, of his books. That's what makes them so fantastic. Fiction is, by definition, created by improbability. But the best works of fiction are based on some aspect of realism. Even fantasy books - the best ones are those that you can relate to.
ReplyDeleteLittle off topic, there, but that's what I do. :)

Great use of thought/emotion put into this post. You put others thoughts into it and your own, which made it interesting. I'm not one for romance novels but I might read it myself one day.
ReplyDeleteIt's nice that you're willing to give something a chance even after others tell you not to. Sometimes you have to try something for yourself and see!
