The Fault in Our Stars

                The Fault in Our Stars is not up to my expectations because it wasn’t nearly as good as it should have been for all the praise it is receiving. The book also wasn’t what I expected it to be about although I didn’t really know what I thought it would be about. Not to be mean but the book didn’t interest me a lot but I think it did mention some life lessons and morals worth reading.  I feel like the ending gets the book all the publicity. I am more of a reader who likes some action and a book not completely devoted to relationships like this book was. The book talks about these cancer perks and I felt like the book was receiving some of its own because the plot wasn’t bad but everything was boring and didn’t really seem to be life like. I would give it 3.5 stars out of 5 because it wasn’t just awful. The problem with this book is that it felt like homework which it was but it was more of a pain than joyous.

                Some of the author’s choices also weren’t what I would have done and caused the book to have some things I didn’t like. The book also turned for the worse in the end which I didn’t like. I like to keep my books cheerful and happy but this book was sad and almost made me cry. Tough for a guy like me to admit but it was pretty tragic and kept adding the tragedy as the book continued. The characters did not develop too much except the main character a little bit but everyone was content and normal in the beginning. That wasn’t fun because I didn’t feel like I had grown reading the book or changed much. Overall the book wasn’t awful but I think it shouldn’t be as praised as it should be.
