A review from one of our members: The Fault in our stars is about a girl named Hazel who is 17 and fighting with cancer. Once a week she goes to cancer kids support group with a depressing leader named Patrick. It is not something she particularly enjoys but her parents usually force her to go. One day a boy joins named Augustus Waters. Hazel quite fancies him. It is very obvious that he likes Hazel back the way he kept looking at her. They become very close. Soon Hazels whole world starts to change. It is not a very emotional book until the end. In the book there is not much tension built up to when it happens but people who have watched the movie have come out of the cinema crying so I think the movie is a lot sadder. There are a lot of words I have not heard of before but it was great to learn some new ones. This book is written by a famous author, John Green. He has written a few other books too, but there is no sequel to The Fault In Our Stars. I recommend this book to anyone who likes beautiful but not perfect romance story books. 12 and over. It makes you want to go back and grab some more. So go out and buy this book! You won't regret! - Mary
