The Fault In Our Stars
The Fault In Our Stars was a beautifully created book based on two cancer children who fall in love with each other. Upon reading the first few pages of the book, you meet the very first character in the book, Hazel Grace. Now, when you first meet Hazel she is at a Support group where she soon meets Augustus Walters. August Walters is a funny, smart aleck kind of person who just wants to be remember when he's gone. The two get particularly close and start "dating". Hazel doesn't want to give the title boyfriend to Augustus because she is afraid of hurting him when she is gone. Later on, the two travel to Amsterdam using August's wish. Hazel's wish had been wasted on going to Disney when she was thirteen years old. Upon going to Amsterdam they meet their favorite author, Peter Van Houten, of their favorite book "An Imperial Affliction". When visiting Van Houten, they find out that he is not the nice, intelligent man that they thought him out to be but a lazy, good-for-nothing drunk with an alcoholic obsession that eventually gave him a gut. So, basically a fat old drunk. During their whole time at his house, he was nothing but rude to them and in the process made his assistant, Lidewij Vliegenthart, quitting and tired of his abuse. For their troubles Lidewij takes Hazel and August to the Anne Frank Huis or the Anne Frank house. This is the first place that Augustus and Hazel had their first kiss. Later on, on their last day in Amsterdam, Augustus tells Hazel that his cancer is back and is far worse then before. This time it throughout his whole body. Augustus had had cancer before whic resulted in him losing his leg and making him NEC (No Evidence of Cancer) for a long time. When they get back to America, August is on this new trial of medicine and G-tube insert. Despite this Augustus cancer is getting worse as he is getting tired more often, can't focus as well, throwing up more frequent and even pissing in the bed. Soon Augusts passes away leaving Hazel and wrecks and four letters. Now Hazel has to find these letters to find out what Augustus wanted her to know.
