"You are so busy being you that you have no idea how utterly unprecedented you are." - Augustus to Hazel
How does one even begin a review of a John Green novel? There is absolutely nothing that can be said about the beauty of a John Green novel that could compare in depth or breadth to the beauty of the John Green novel itself. Particularly this one.
For me, reading The Fault In Our Stars was a religious experience. From beginning to end, this book was a flawless masterpiece. I am seriously not exaggerating when I say that.
Though The Fault In Our Stars is not really a new story - love tainted by the painful inevitability of terminal illness - I can honestly say that what Mr. Green has created here is one of the most beautiful, poignant, true and heartbreaking novels I've ever read.
Green's prose is perfectly executed and his characters so realistic and lovably 'real'. Every word, every thought, every second of interaction with the story, speeds you along to the next on a rollercoaster of emotion that leaves you gasping for breath.
You will cry, and you will laugh.
You will wonder how it is already 1am.
Seriously. I read this in one sitting, in one evening. After being particularly engrossed, for what I would later find was several hours, I found that it was very early morning. It didn't matter. I could not even consider putting it down. That is truly all that needs to be said. Read this book. Your life will be better for it.
John Green is THE man.
