This book, i would say, was the only ever book that i had ever read that made me cry. There were some movie adaptions that made me cry, but this book, with the imagination of my life, the ill-fated couple…gosh…i want to cry again. T T
It's really a moving and sad book. Totally realistic and humorous along the way, it tells about any romantic couple we would want to read about, Hazel Grace and Augustus Waters. Only with the sad, unexpected ending, any other reader, amateur or avid, both will cry. I cried, really cried ( and i had three trips to the toilet to wash my face, probably the longest ever i cried: sixty minutes while reading the pages behind).
Okay…first, its a really inspirational book. I made up lots of my own quotes straight after reading.
Such as;
Crying is something unintentional.
It makes you sad or happy,
makes you full of snot and tears,
but eventually,
the fact of what made you cry
SINKS IN,
you cry even harder.
and…
Sad endings are inertly temperamental,
no matter how many rereadings,
you'll still cry.
Well, this is all due to the bias-ness of the time i spent on crying but, this book, is seriously Romeo and Juliet classic.
This is a kind of book i will remember my whole life and will recommend to any other friend or acquaintance. Some may think i'm crazy but yeah, this is a kind of book that is worth doing things that make you a maniac.
This, i quote a part from the book that my friend liked the most;
"He loved you so much.
He really did.
It wasn't-it wasn't
puppy love or anything"
-Augustus Waters' mother to Hazel Grace
Hazel Grace is a cancer patient. Survived from a oxygen machine named paloxifier( i think), for three years and still lived to tell the tale. Though her lungs sometimes have water fluid, she is sent to the ICU to suck them out. Thinking she is depressed, her mother sends her to a Support Group, where she meets Augustus Waters.
Augustus Waters, suffered cancer a few months back, but was cured with a fake leg. Once a basketball enthusiast, he now hates the sport.
The two started their relationship somewhere in the middle of the book (duh…) but i won't tell more…>spoilers<
This is a book worth anyone's read, though it seems plain at the first part, once you understand the whole relationship, at the end, you'll understand how i feel.
A book you could stay up all night reading, and feel like rereading all over again. But you cry when you think about it.
To end this review, i'll quote another part from the book;
"But you don't have my number."
"I strongly suspect you wrote it in the book."
"And yet you say we don't know one another."
-Hazel Grace and Augustus Waters
Hope you liked the review!:))
Please excuse me as i'm off to cry all over myself~
