Fault in Our Stars- Finished!

I finished the Fault in Our Stars very quickly, because it is extremely good.  I thought the ending was pretty good, and although I cant give anything away, I did get very emotional and surprised when the book was complete.  Overall, John Green used amazing characterization with Hazel and Augustus, making the characters have amazing depth and personality.  Part of me suspected the book to end like it did, but at the same time the way he described it was still very tragic and I did cry at the end!  Throughout the book I grew to like Hazel and Augustus's characters even better, and I think that was the goal that John was going for.
  My favorite part about this story was the connection that Green made between Hazel and Augustus, and their alike personalities that you wouldnt normally expect in a story like this.  The way that they knew that they were different but didnt care, the way they loved each other and respected each others opinions, all of these aspects of the book really made it so much better.  I loved this book VERY much, and I can not wait until the movie.

Started 'Heartless'

Before I begun to read the "Fault in our Stars' I tried reading the 7th book in the Pretty Little Liars series; a series i have been reading since 8th grade.  I started 'Heartless' right before winter break, but after getting past a few chapters, i felt like i would rather read the Fault in Our Stars because I have heard how great it is.  I will probably go back to 'Heartless', because i know it will be great, but for now i decided to take a little break from that series.  I have always loved PLL, the show and the books so I know that I would love this book if i read it.  To anyone thinking of beginning the Pretty Little Liars series I suggest starting on the first book so you can understand what is happening.  It has great characters, suspense, and surprise and i love the series.  For now i will read the Fault in our Stars but i will definetly go back to Pretty Little Liars.

Fault in Our Stars- just started

I have finished up my Pretty Little Liars books for now, and have begun a highly requested book by everyone.  I have heard so many people talk about how good the Fault in Our Stars is, so I decided it was about time I read it.  I have gotten to about chapter 6 by now, and I am enjoying it so far.  I love how positive Hazel and Augustus are about things, and how they have so much in common. Hazel is a great character in the story because she is strong, she has strong opinions, and she tells herself to stay positive which would be a hard thing to do under the circumstances.  I think that John Greene, the author put lots of thought into the characters he created to make them complex and interesting.  I am not sure what will happen next in this great book, but I cant wait to find out!
Who has read the Fault in our Stars and what did you think?
