Rachel blog

        This summer I read the book The Fault in Our Stars and the main theme of the story is that Augustus Waters shows Hazel how to live life and fall in love with the amount of time they had together. At first Hazel is not sure if she actually wants to fall in love because she thinks she is a grenade, and she doesn't want to hurt the people she loves. As Augustus shows her how to live her life to the fullest, she shows her true feelings towards him. "It seemed like forever ago, like we'd had this brief but still infinite forever. Some infinities are bigger than other infinities." This quote came from Hazel, and she is explaining how even with the time she had with Augustus she still felt like she was loved infinitely.
       
        I really enjoyed the book The Fault in Our Stars. I found this book to be very intriguing and exciting. What I like about this book so much is that John Green made the characters have true emotion that people could have in real life. He doesn't make his characters fake. What I also like about this book is that it shows that even through hardships and struggles love can still be seen! Another reason why I love this book so much is that unlike most books it doesn't have a slow beginning, it gets right to the point. I hate it when books have an extremely slow beginning and it is not till have way through the book where it starts getting good!
       
         There are some parts of the book I did not really like however. What I didn't like about the book was how they killed Augustus! I know it increased the drama of the story, but he turned out to be my favorite character, and I know I am not the only one that read this book and immediately fell in love with him! Another thing I didn't really like about the book was how we didn't really know a lot about Isaacs relationship with Monica. I would also have liked to know a little bit more about the trip to Amsterdam. Other then those couple of things I really loved this book! I would recommend it to anyone that would like to read a romantic drama novel.
