First of all, how was your day? good then. lets get started. Have you guys watch the movie The Fault In Our Star? well it is interesting though.Romantic.Passionate and can make you cries ( Yeah guys do cry mate. :D )
so our book review for today is.... (Drum rolling ) The Fault in Our Star by John Green.
So here's the story. A cancer girl meets
hot boy. Hot boy and cancer girl fall in teenage love and go on adventures to
Amsterdam together. Cancer girl is disappointed by her meeting with the author
whom she idolizes. Cancer girl and hot boy admit their love to each other and
have physical relations. But in the end, cancer girl lives while hot boy dies.
The end.
What? How could that boy is the one
who dies? Nonsense! Well don't worry about it. I'll explain it.
Hazel Grace, average teenager except for
the fact that she's got a cancer inside her body and her lungs not working well.Attending Support Group a new boy
catches her eye which is Augustus .Hazel shares her favorite book, An
Imperial Affliction, with Augustus, and together they obsess about the unsolved
ending. Augustus manages to somehow get through to the author and when Hazel
emails him, he invites her to come to Amsterdam to discuss the ending of the
book. A fan's dream come true. Yeay!!
So Augustus surprises Hazel by
telling her that he still has his wish (the "Wish" that they grant to
dying children) from when he had cancer and lost his leg, and he'd happily use
it to take her to Amsterdam to meet Peter Van Houten, the author of An Imperial
Affliction. Wow.. How romantic it was!!. Hazel are very excited with that.,
but first she has to convince her hovering, worried parents and her skeptical
doctors.
Eventually, they manage to get their
trip in order and take together with Hazel's mother (Well incase of anything
happened). But when they meet Peter Van Houten, it doesn't exactly go as
planned.He doesn't answer any of Hazel's questions. Hazel is angry and upset.
Lidewij, the assistant of Van Houten fell sorry for them and takes her and
Augustus out to explore Amsterdam. They see Anne Frank's house, Hazel had to
climb the stair , but then it was redeemed because she and Augustus finally
kiss. Ohh yeahh!! Then they go back to the hotel room and even steamier things
happen. Oopss!! Explicit content.
Augustus cancer has returned, and it
was very, very bad. When they return to Indianapolis, it's clear that
Augustus's health is critical and he might not have much time left. In a
heartbreaking scene, Hazel and Isaac even share the eulogies that they wrote
for him. Throughout it all, Hazel is there with Augustus, until the very end.
When he dies, Hazel is shocked and
filled with grief. At his funeral, though, she gives a different eulogy than
the one she had written him. Why? Well, she realizes that she needs to deliver
something that's tailored to his parents, well because they are the one who are
suffering at that time. (Augustus is already R.I.P)
At the funeral, she's shocked to see
that Peter Van Houten is there. She talks to him and realizes that he wrote An
Imperial Affliction because he had a daughter who died of cancer. She's no
closer to liking Van Houten as a person, but she understands a little more why
he's so tortured and crotchety. She also learns from Isaac that Augustus was
writing something for her before he died. She proceeds to go on a kind of crazy
search for what he's written, which she thinks might be the alternate ending to An
Imperial Affliction that she wanted so badly. She also learns that her
mother is taking classes to become a Support Group leader, and is relieved that
there will be life for her parents after she dies.
At the very end, she learns from
Lidewij that Augustus wrote her an eulogy that he sent to Van Houten.The eulogy states that he hopes that she's happy
with the choices she made.
Hazel says that yes, she is happy.
The END.
