Book Review: The fault in our stars

Wow this book...I cannot explain to you how moved I am after reading this. I mean...emotionally, it has ruined me.

If you've read this book, you'll know where I am coming from....

(I won't give too much away for anyone wanting to read it.)

The deep concept of a 16 year old girl, the same age as myself, going through such a chronic disease, Cancer, was heart wrenching to say the least. The utter compassion and motivation of this young girl, Hazel, made me truly realise how I, a member of many of the 'young generation' club, should appreciation the littlest things in life and be grateful for our bodies and lives being relatively normal. 

In the novel, it explains that Hazel began her fight with  Cancer in her early teens, a time where any normal teenage girl should be out with friends, enjoying life. At the age I am now, I am eager to begin my life away from home and in a way I am kind of  wishing my teenage years away for the feel of adult life and I guess a bit of freedom. So to read about a teenage girl not being able to live her teenage years like the rest of us due to the disease is heart breaking. But then there is me, wanting a life beyond the teenage years and this kind of made me feel guilty. 

The emotional roller coaster developed within the novel is so gripping and I literally couldn't put the book down! I managed to read half of it on the way back from Spain and I have only just finished it today. Three days to read a book is a pretty good achievement for me, so it shows this. book. is. something.

So if you haven't already read this book, I HIGHLY recommend you do. It literally gives you a different perspective on life.
