Book Response #4: The Fault In Our Stars

 In my last book blog I was at the part, in The Fault In Our Stars, where Hazel and Augustus were just beginning their friendship. Now, I have just finished the book and even though the ending is sad it's also filled with hope. Hazel and Augustus are able to take a trip to Amsterdam to visit Hazels favorite author and even though the trip isn't all what she expected they are still able to experience life together and to do things they wouldn't normally be able to do. The type of love that Hazel and Augustus has shown through throughout the entire story. The emotions I experienced while reading this book was from sad to happy to anxious to mournful. I felt as if I was experiencing this story with them and they were taking me on an emotional roller coaster.

 I chose this picture because in the story Augustus says, "It's a metaphor, see: You put the killing thing right between your teeth, but you don't give it the power to do its killing." Through out the entire book Augustus has a cigarette between his teeth to prove that even though cigarettes are bad its the people that give them the power to do harm in the first place.

If I were to compare John Green to an author now, it would have to be Nicholas Sparks because the story is so amazingly written and  has an incredible love story just like anything else Sparks has ever wrote.
