Fault in Our Stars

The fault in our stars is a shameless tearjerker taken from John Green’s best-selling young-adult novel.

Hazel Grace Lancaster is a teenager who has lived most of her life with metastatic thyroid cancer . She falls in love with Augustus Waters, also a cancer victim who has lost part of his leg to the disease but who has been healthy since then. Hazel is witty and compassionate: “The only thing that bites worse than having cancer is having a kid with cancer,” she says. Gus is handsome, chivalrous, a romantic hero. 40 years after “Love Story,” this is a much better written and delivered tale of young romance.
