The Fault in Our Stars by John Green

This book was beautiful. There are many words, but the complexity of the story just can't be simplified. It's a novel about living. What life really is, regardless of your situation in life. It's a deep and inspirational story. Hazel Grace is an amazing character and narrator. She is gifted with the ability to say what she feels, and be blunt without coming across that way. Augustus Waters is a happy go lucky guy, and an entertaining person. From his obvious metaphors to his random comments, in many ways he is every girl's dream. But Hazel's fear of that dream is understandable, she has cancer. Constantly aware of her situation, Hazel hesitates in one of the most important moments of her life. A life that Augustus seems to enjoy and encourages her to be a part of. Their story is an amazing slice of life tale with reality and fantasy meshed into one.
This book was like candy, and I couldn't put it down. I literally read it in four hours. But every hour was worth it. As Hazel learns about life in all it's complexity, the reader begins to understand the beauty in reality.

I recommend this novel to anyone who wonders what beauty and love truly are.
