The Fault In Our Stars, By: John Green (week 2)

I just finished the book The Fault in Our Stars, By: John Green. This book is about a girl, Hazel, who is battling cancer and can not breath very well so she has to have and oxygen tank with her at all times. She goes to a support group and meets a guy she becomes very good friends with. His name is Augustus Waters and he is a very handsome and charming guy. Hazel got Augustus to read a book that had an ending that you should interpret yourself. Hazel and Augustus wanted the author to tell them what happened, so they emailed him and he replied saying that they should come and visit him. They took a trip to Amsterdam and meet the author. The author said it was a joke and he didn't think they would actually come. The author did not tell them anything about the book so they just left and went out to lunch. When they were eating lunch Augustus told Hazel that he had cancer. Hazel was very sad and Augustus felt very selfish because he knew about it for a long time. They also fell in love on that trip and they are boyfriend and girlfriend. The next month was hard for Augustus. He was deteriorating fast and was forced to be in a wheelchair because he was putting to much stress on his heart. Augustus told Hazel that he wanted her to speak at his funeral. Hazel wrote a speech and read it to Augustus. He ended up in the ICU in the hospital because he was not doing very well. Does Augustus die? Does Hazel die? Read the book to find out! I recommend this book to other students because it shows the struggle read kids go thought in there daily lives that people take for granted. I rate this book at 10/10.
