The Fault in Our Stars

Rating: *****
"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."

This is one of the most brilliant books I have read and you will ever read in your life. It doesn't only contain a romantic concept or just a teen plot that drives you crazy when you read it but it contains a whole new world you never want to wake up from. The world is built from smiles and laughs and expectations and perfection and a fantasized content of our reality that feels like a drug.  

The first thing you notice about the book is how powerfully screaming John Green's style is. His words, long sentences and complex form of structuring is so intense and beautiful you never want to neglect. The first statement starts with an impulsive reaction. "Depression". But if you read what's between the lines, you'd see that this statement is a reflective mirror that makes you happy. It is complicated to explain if you haven't read it. So you should read it. If you have already read it, you'd know that sentimentality and the general mood of this books is just a tsunami of emotions; nothing more, nothing less.  

About the characters, Hazel and August were of the most favorite of all. In other series, like the Mortal Instruments, I liked Clary but not Jace; in the Hunger Games, I liked Gale but not Pitta; in John's Will Grayson Will Grayson, I liked the first one and not the other. But these characters were so near perfection in their flaws and their own ways and their own wisdom. Great things happen when you read this book and bad things happen too. You just have to pursue your journey and venture your way through it - with a bag of tissues (a big one if you are over reactive when it comes to books). 

But it will make you smile - even at the end. 

"This book is a burst of enjoyment, laughs and hope in a route of tragedy and tears. Everything change course and every single thing is meant to mean something but means something else. Brilliant, ecstatic, intelligent!"
