the fault in our stars movie book review

What do you say? Let me explain.įirstly, I will note that the two main characters persona’s are completely different, Hazel is a realist understanding the gravity of her condition, whereas Dark Victory’s Judith Traherne lives a carefree throw it into the wind. Strangely, while reading this novel I was reminded of one of my favorite movies, 1939’s Dark Victory starring Bette Davis. Showing that life as a cancer patient does not always fill your wish and gives a taste of other harnesses outside of the cancer ward. Thus using it to go to Amsterdam to meet Peter Von Houten. Hazel has foolishly used her Make A Wish to go to Disney World by Augustus has been holding out on his. They feel that he really fits the Shakespeare quote written above and dedicate themselves to meeting him. Hazel and Augustus become enamored with the novel An Imperial Affliction written by Peter Von Houten. Like a good young adult novel, there is an instant spark between the two, with Hazel thinking support group many not be so bad after all. On one such meeting her friend Isaac, who has eye cancer, eventually going blind brings a friend Augustus Waters, who has bone cancer. Her mother, feeling that Hazel is depressed over her condition forces her to go to a support group, with Hazel going grudgingly. John Green took a serious topic and made it uplifting, inspirational and eventually heartbreaking.

Is it wrong to laugh while reading a book about Cancer? Because I was. Insightful, bold, irreverent, and raw, The Fault in Our Stars is award-winning author John Green's most ambitious and heartbreaking work yet, brilliantly exploring the funny, thrilling, and tragic business of being alive and in love. But when a gorgeous plot twist named Augustus Waters suddenly appears at Cancer Kid Support Group, Hazel's story is about to be completely rewritten.

Despite the tumor-shrinking medical miracle that has bought her a few years, Hazel has never been anything but terminal, her final chapter inscribed upon diagnosis.
