Patrick (patrick_castro) Our August read is The Fault In Our Stars by John Green!

GoodReads Summmary: Diagnosed with Stage IV thyroid cancer at 13, Hazel was prepared to die until, at 14, a medical miracle shrunk the tumours in her lungs... for now.

Two years post-miracle, sixteen-year-old Hazel is post-everything else, too; post-high school, post-friends and post-normalcy. And even though she could live for a long time (whatever that means), Hazel lives tethered to an oxygen tank, the tumours tenuously kept at bay with a constant chemical assault.

Enter Augustus Waters. A match made at cancer kid support group, Augustus is gorgeous, in remission, and shockingly to her, interested in Hazel. Being with Augustus is both an unexpected destination and a long-needed journey, pushing Hazel to re-examine how sickness and health, life and death, will define her and the legacy that everyone leaves behind.


How was the long anticpated novel by John Green? Was Hazel real and relatable? Also, share your reviews with us! :) Tell us all your John Green ramblings!

Patrick (patrick_castro) I heard the Hazel was a really touching character! How was she in the book?

Lucille (lucillep) | 855 comments Hazel was an interesting character. She's smart, sarcastic, and wasn't the type of girl who's bitter about dying.

I still have to read one of John Green's books! Which one should I pick up ASAP? Because I heard JG is Amazing! :)

Maggie Donahue | 14 comments I LOVED this book!!! The characters were very real, and while it was really sad there was plenty of humor in it. And I LOVE Gus!!!!

Jenny (juliababyjen) This was a great read. I loved how character driven the story was. A lot of YA seems to be lacking that lately.

Shenali (sheni_star) | 28 comments I started this book today, and finished it today. Wow, just loved it!
The characters, Hazel herself and GUS, loved Gus! Moving, amazingly written, inspiring read! Definitely a book I will re-read.

I really liked Looking for Alaska & Paper Towns. I tried to read Will Grayson, Will Grayson, but didn't like it as much as those two.
