The Fault In Our Stars Experience

Last year one of my friends told me she read "The Fault In Our Stars" and was crying the whole time (she even got the colds after that), she then told me the rough synopsis of the novel. Which didn't encourage me even more to read it, Seriously? Who would read a book about cancer, which reminds you of unwanted feelings and memories that cancer has inflicted on your personal life (Not me, not going back.) Which made me decide to ditch the idea of reading the book.

Earlier this year, I was much too early for school, so as usual, I went to the library and checked out some books. I spotted all the John Green collection that our library has and checked out "Papertowns", I was hooked immediately and finished it after a couple of days. A couple of weeks after that I was again too early for school, again the same thing happened. But I was left to get "The Fault In Our Stars"since all of the others book were checked out. Then some of my friends saw me with the book, and immediately warned me that I was going to cry my eyes out. While I was reading it, I DID NOT CRY, I felt sad, but I did not cry. (I know I'm a cold hearted bitch, I'm well aware of that).

Today I watched the movie, and again I DID NOT CRY.

Why? Because. It was one of the most beautiful pieces of literature I have ever read. It was one of the most beautiful stories I've ever seen. Every John Green book is so quotable, every chapter there's a quote that makes you want to tweet it. He doesn't fail in this one.

In a book which was about, dying, grieving, and pure sadness. I felt the miracle and the possibilities of love. The love Hazel had for An Imperial Affliction, the love that Hazel and her family has, and the love that Hazel and Augustus shared. That in 313 pages of negativity, I felt positivity, I felt hope.

This piece of fiction, gave average people a way to see the truth behind cancer, the truth behind tragedy, this piece of fiction showed reality, it showed the truth.
 The characters, the metaphors, the idea, everything was so beautifully constructed.

I saw one post from Buzzfeed about John Green, and how after seeing the move there were certain number of ways that would make you hate him. Well for me, John Green shouldn't be hated, but he should be thanked, because he shared to us a piece of infinity.

And most of all he didn't break the author and reader contract, he finished the story in the most perfect way one could ever imagine.

Okay?
