The Fault In Our Stars (a book review)

The Fault In Our Stars
(A book review) 
“Sometimes, you read a book and it fills you with this weird evangelical zeal, and you become convinced that the shattered world will never be put back together unless and until all living humans read the book.” 
This is how I feel about the Fault In Our Stars. 
   Hazel Grace is an American girl with terminal cancer. She looks at life in a different way from others. You may call it depressing, but I call it philosophical. Every week she goes to a cancer support group wherein they share stories and talk about how to well... support each other. Everything was normal (as normal as cancer can get) until Augustus Waters, a cancer survivor, came into the support group. Augustus was different. He thought differently from the others and they started hanging out. As they talked and talked through thick and thin they soon realize that to help Hazel survive from cancer, they must find what matters to them the most, each other.

  This book immensely inspired me because of how John Green, the writer, was able to create a story so delicate and beautiful. Hazel has taught me to never give up while Augustus told me that there is always something worth fighting for because:
"That's the thing about pain, it demands to be felt."
