Green, John. THE FAULT IN OUR STARS. New York: Dutton Books, 2012. Print. The fictional genre of The Fault in Our Stars is realistic fiction. It deals with the problems of modern-day adolescents and the difficulties associated with cancer. The events that happen in this book, such as people dealing with cancer, could actually happen in real life. The cover of Our Faulty Stars features a drawing of two clouds, one black above one white. I think the black cloud mainly represents the tragedy that takes place in the book. The tragedy is that Hazel and Augustus are battling cancer. The white cloud most likely represents the good things in the story, such as the love Hazel and Augustus have for each other, which makes their lives better and helps them in their fight against cancer. There is also a short review from a critic on the cover which is most likely there to let the reader know that this is a good book. An alternative title I would choose to replace this book would be Love Conquers All. When Hazel Grace Lancaster, a teenager battling cancer, meets Augustus Waters, they fall in love and their lives change. Before they met, Hazel wasn't very happy and she wasn't living much. When they fall in love and spend time together, they are both happier and begin to live more, which helps him fight cancer. That's why I think the title Love Conquers All would be a better title than the original. The most important central idea of ​​this book is that love can overcome all things. The entire book mainly focuses on the love of two teenagers battling cancer. Their love for each other helps them not think about the bad things they face and helps them live their lives to the fullest. Before they... middle of paper ......hat, although Hazel couldn't say it right away, the joy she felt would eventually lead her to build a relationship with Augustus. John Green's quote from The Fault in Our Stars says, "You don't get to choose whether you get hurt in this world...but you do have a say in who hurts you." » This piece of text from the book is very meaningful to me because it is something I can relate to. This tells me that no matter what, I will get hurt sometimes in this world, but I am the only one who controls who hurts me and who doesn't. One aspect of this book that would make me recommend it to others is that John Green has put many interesting quotes in this book that everyone can relate to. I really enjoyed the different quotes throughout the book and how they address aspects of life. They're so awesome you won't be able to get them out of your mind.
