This couldn’t come out at a better time, ha. I read the book last year but I only came around to writing a review now. *uni life is hectic*
What drew me in about the The Fault in Our Stars book was its cover. I am a massive book cover lover and I often buy books if I like the cover a lot. TFIOS cover was blue which turned it into an instant love because it is my all time favorite color.
I had read so many reviews on goodreads raving about the book and how it is going to make you cry so bad and stuff. I was looking forward to the entire emotional trauma but by page 77 from 177 I was still wondering where the crying bits were? Are they coming ahead? What am I supposed to feel about An Imperial Affliction? I hardly know what it was all about. Yes I loved Augustus’ cocky personality and how he had an opinion about everything. I loved Hazel’s sarcastic comments and how she could shut Gus up. I loved their love story but what I didn’t like was the whole Peter Van Houten part. It seemed very ‘extra’ like Mr. Green had to write about him to increase the number of pages. Isaac’s parts were hilarious too. He was a fun character.
The storyline is alright. I found the writing average. It was fast paced and within 177 pages everything ended, which is a good thing if you like to read short books. It can be used for light reading but I would say there wasn’t much of an emotional trauma. A character dying doesn’t always mean it’s a cry book. Another thing, the dialogues were amazing.
I went for the movie last week and loved it. It reminded about all the parts I found cute and like I mentioned above, the dialogues were really good and last night when I was cropping some to add in the post, I read them and reread them twice or thrice. I guess I might reread the book someday in the future after all.
PS. No offence intended towards John Green or any of his fan. I am looking forward to read more of his work.
PSS. Below are all my favorite parts from the book and some of my thoughts about them. There are a lot of pictures but I hope you guys don’t mind and enjoy them. 🙂 Content below will contain spoilers so if you don’t want to know them, don’t see the images below.
Love,
Fam ❤
