The Fault in Our Stars!!!!

So, I was dozing off in my world history class, after I had just binged watched 30 episodes of John Green's Crash Course history videos. A few seconds later,  I wake up to find that my friend had been talking to me for no less than two minutes. Her last words were "by John Green". I quickly come to focus and nod my head, saying that "yeah, I did watch the crash course videos". My friend, seemingly annoyed at my lack of attention, went on to explain to me that she was talking about a book she had recently read, The Fault in Our Stars by John Green. I wish I could say that I learned my lesson, and started listening to her while she explained the plot of the book, but truly, I started nodding off again.

Later that day, after I had taken my needed nap, I started my daily routine of looking through social media. Somehow, I was faced by the title The Fault in Our Stars on Instagram. I knew the title sounded vaguely familiar, so I further searched the book and found that thousands of people had written rave reviews on the book. Knowing that I am a stubborn person, who will only believe something when she sees it for herself, I checked out the book the next day.






I started the book with some skepticism, (because really, how would a history buff know how to write a YA fiction?), and lost that skepticism from the first page. Apparently, history buffs are one of the best book writers, as proved by John Green! Let me tell you that this book, about a boy and a girl with cancer, made me laugh, cry, smile, and even scream. Just so you know, I'm not a big bawler ( I didn't cry during Titanic, My sister's Keeper, Marley and Me... you get the idea?), but truthfully, I sobbed for days after I read the book.

So now that I've read the book,  I want everyone else living under a rock to read the book too so that we can talk details (didn't include any in here so I don't spoil the book for you). I know some of you out there are lazy people, so here's the link to the trailer of the book. I can guarantee you that after you see the trailer, you will be getting off your lazy butt and then you will blindly drive (I am not responsible for any damage done to you, your car, or other people.....) through the streets to the nearest Barnes and Noble. You will then stay up all night reading this soon to be classic. Send me an email telling me how many tissues you used to wipe away your tears by the end of the book.
