In this novel, Charlie is just like any other freshmen starting his first day of high school: nervous about everything. Because the novel is written in letter format from Charlie’s perspective, the reader learns what it is like to be a fifteen-year-old boy struggling to fit in. Charlie brings you with him on his adventure of finding himself and the experiences he has along the way. As you read the book, you come to realize that Charlie is an honest and deep character whose diary-like letters will suck you in and make you think about your own life. Soon to be a movie starring Logan Lerman and Emma Watson, this book will make you feel every emotion and is worth taking the time to read.
A Book Review of “The Fault in Our Stars” by John Green
BY COLLEEN HOFFMANN
In this fictional novel, Hazel Grace Lancaster’s life is cut short upon her cancer diagnosis. There is a ‘tumor-shrinking’ miracle drug that can buy her a few years, but her life turns monotonous and boring, consumed by over-protective parents and cancer-support meetings. Until the gorgeous Augustus Waters shows up to a meeting one night and starts to change her life. Hazel Grace is thrown into a whirlwind romance and starts to get the feeling that her life might be more than just “okay.” This book will take you on a wild emotional rollercoaster while tugging at your heartstrings. As a book that appeared on the New York Times’ Bestseller List and Entertainment Weekly calls “‘Luminous,’” it is well worth the read. John Green has written a beautiful work of fiction.
