Review: The Fault in Our Stars


Author: 
John Green
Genre: YA Contemporary Romance
Published: January 10th 2012 by Dutton Books
Pages: 313
Rating:
Synopsis:Despite the tumor-shrinking medical miracle that has bought her a few years, Hazel has never been anything but terminal, her final chapter inscribed upon diagnosis. But when a gorgeous plot twist named Augustus Waters suddenly appears at Cancer Kid Support Group, Hazel's story is about to be completely rewritten.

Rating:
So I really don't know what to say about this book... however, the gist of this story is that Hazel Grace is someone that has been living with cancer most of her life. One day when she is going to her cancer kids support group she meets Augustus Waters. He is a cancer survivor who has been in remission for quiet a while. However, in the process of fighting the cancer her has lost a leg.

If you haven't guessed yet these two fall in love.

So there you go. That is the gist of the story now on to the real review.

No I gave this book 5 out of 5 stars. I loved everything about this book. It was very sad but also wonderful in every way. John Green's writing is both heartbreaking and beautiful. This book gives me so many emotions that I don't know what to do with them all.

This book will make you laugh, make you smile, and make you cry... but in my opinion it is worth every minute of it.

August Book Haul

Alright guys so here is the deal. I am going to try to write a post in here once a week but I am still trying to figure out my formatting for reviews (which is why there are none in here). I am also trying to figure out what schedule I will try to do for posts.

Anyway, I know that this is halfway through the month of September but I thought that since I should actually make this blog useful I am going to make a post about all of the books that I got in the month of August. Just a heads up, there are 25 books on this list.

So the way this is going to work is I will give you the names of the book and a picture of the book. If you want a synoposis comment below and I will either tell you about it or link you to Goodreads... we will see!  NOW! Here we go:

1-4) The Luxe, Rumors, Envy, and Splendor (The Luxe Series) by Anna Godberson













5) Hush, Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick













6) Angelfall by Susan Ee
