Rating: 2 stars
Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love John Green. But this book just wasn't... my thing.
TEN YEAR OLD ME'S REVIEW
OHHHMYYYYGAWD THIS BOOK IS DA BOMB I LOVE IT BUT WHY DID AUGUSTUS DIE? HAZEL AND AUGUSTUS WHERE SO KAYOOT I CANNOT EVEN. I WANT A LOVE LIKE THEIRS BUT ONLY NO DYING PLEASE THANK YOU. THIS BOOK WAS SUCH A GIFT FROM GAAAWD.
Of course, I loved it when I was ten. I was a kid then, blinded by the oppurtunity to be considered a book nerd by reading THE Fault in our Stars. So I gave it a five.
But then, when I turned thirteen, I decided to read it again. For the sake of fully understanding what the book is all about and why many, many people seem to like it.
And when I finished reading it, I had a very different opinion about TFIOS.
It was okay. It had a great love story between two people and a great ending despite Augustus dying. But it was just so... monotonous. I didn't feel any 'omGGGGmyheartisbrokencantbreatheineedmyinhaler' moments. At the end of the book, I was just like,
MEHHHH.
Augustus and Hazel had the same personality. They were both sarcastic, highly sophisticated people and half the time I don't even know the shite they're saying. It was hard to get in to their world, and it was hard to get inside of Hazel's heart. The ending was predictable. Of course one of them will die.
The only other thing I liked about this book was how realistic it is. We can't always get happy endings in life, and there isn't a thing such as Forever (but then, there is always Poreber in Slovenia)
I really respect your opinions, so please respect mine. I liked this book, but again, it just wasn't for me. Maybe I'll try reading this when I'm sixteen.
Actually a 2.5
