The Fault in Our Stars

This is the movie trailer of the book I am currently
reading.  So far the book has been great and there are many dynamic plot twists and meaningful lines throughout the text. Hazel Grace and Augustus travel to Amsterdam to meet up with Hazel’s favorite author Peter Van Houtan to find out what happens to the characters of his famous unfinished book An Imperial Affliction.  While on the plane; Augustus says something absolutely wonderful, he is talking to Hazel on the plane. ‘I’m in love with you,’ he said quietly. ‘Augustus,” I said. ‘I am’ hesaid. He was staring at me and I could see the corner of his eyes crinkling. ‘I’m in love with you, and I’m not in the business of denying myself the simple pleasure of saying true things. I’m in love with you, and I know that love is just a shout into the void, and that oblivion is inevitable, and that we’re all
doomed and that there will come a day when all our labor has been returned to
dust, and I know the sun will swallow the only earth we’ll ever have. And I am
in love with you.’ (Green 153).  Gus tells Hazel the story of his old
girlfriend Caroline who died of a brain tumor. She was mean to him but the
doctors said that the cancer “poisoned” her brain. She joked around saying
crude things like, ‘Gus has great legs. I mean leg,’ (Green 176). She would laugh
about it over and over again. Hazel tells Gus that she never wants to do that
to him and he responds with the famous quote; ‘Oh, I wouldn’t mind, Hazel Grace.
It would be a privilege to have my heart broken by you,” (Green 176). I think
this line is so important because it shows how much he loves Hazel. He is
willing to go through heartbreak just to enjoy the happiness of being with her.
Augustus is one interesting dynamic character; I look forward to see him
develop even more. So far I love this book and I want to read more books by
John Green.
