The fault in our stars...


Hey guys, guess what day it is today… Right it’s blog Thursday.

But before I start I want to make a quick announcement: Since I’m going to be quite busy next week with exams and the usual stuff and probably also throughout the rest of the semester, I decided to blog only every other week. So in general I’m going to write fewer posts but hopefully more thoughtful ones.
This time I want to tell you a little bit about my favorite book at the moment. It’s called The fault in our stars and is written by the ingenious John Green, who is not only a writer from Indiana but also has a youtube channel.

Here is a pic of him and the link to his channel:

Anyway, The fault in our stars is about Hazel, a 16 year old girl who has been diagnosed with terminal lung cancer. Her parents force her to go to a support group in the “Heart of Jesus”, a cross-shaped basement of a church. There she meets Augustus, a former cancer patient who is due to a type of cancer called osteosarcoma an amputee now. They fall in love with each other and experience quite a few adventures. However, I don’t want to tell too much of the storyline in case any of you hasn’t read the book yet and still wants to enjoy reading it without any spoilers.

To get an idea of the style the book is written in, here’s a quote:

 
There is also a movie adaptation for this book coming out in summer 2014 if you prefer watching films over reading books. No matter on which you decide, I recommend both and I myself am going to watch the movie as soon as it’s available.
