THE FAULT IN OUR STARS MOVIE
(If you want to know more of my thoughts, I wrote about the movie here.) From John Green, 1 bestselling author of The Anthropocene Reviewed and Turtles All the Way Down, The Fault in Our Stars is insightful, bold, irreverent, and. I highly suggest you add it to your reading list and the list of the young woman in your life. The Fault In Our Stars (Extended) (16,572) 7.7 2 h X-Ray 13+ Hazel (Shailene Woodley) and Gus (Ansel Elgort) share a love that sweeps them on an unforgettable journey in this powerful film based on John Green's New York Times bestseller. This book has important themes worthy of reading and discussing. (Heck, I needed to talk about the book after I read it!)
Narrator Hazel Grace Lancaster, 16, is (miraculously). This is not a book to be read alone by young teens- not just for sexual reasons (though there are those), but also because there is deep heartache and pain and loss and joy and love that are best read and discussed with an adult who can speak into the emotion. His fourth novel departs from that successful formula to even greater success: this is his best work yet.
She keeps most people at a distance, knowing her death will ultimately hurt them, until she falls in love with. An astute and remarkably conscientious girl, Hazel was diagnosed at age thirteen with a terminal form of thyroid cancer that has since spread to her lungs. But that is the reason this is included in our PG-13 weekend. The novel’s narrator and 16-year-old protagonist. You may disagree with me on including this one, as the characters make some choices that I do not consider wise choices and the kind to be emulated by teen girls (though the same could be said for To Kill A Mockingbird, eh?). This weekend I’m featuring the PG-13 books and to me, that includes The Fault In Our Stars.
Insightful, bold, irreverent, and raw, The Fault in Our Stars is award-winning-author John Green’s most ambitious and heartbreaking work yet, brilliantly exploring the funny, thrilling, and tragic business of being alive and in love. The book is set in Indianapolis, but the film was made around Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and in the Netherlands capital. Some infinities are bigger than other infinities. But when a gorgeous plot twist named Augustus Waters suddenly appears at Cancer Kid Support Group, Hazel’s story is about to be completely rewritten. You don't get to choose if you get hurt in this world.but you do have some say in who hurts you. The Fault in Our Stars proves that the hype surrounding Green is not overblown.” - NPR “A pitch-perfect, elegiac comedy…it will linger long and hard in the minds of teens and former teens.” - USA TODAY ★“An achingly beautiful story.” - SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL, STARRED REVIEW “John Green deftly mixes the profound and the quotidian in this tough, touching valentine to the human spirit.(You can read more on his website, or follow him on Twitter and Facebook!)ĭespite the tumor-shrinking medical miracle that has bought her a few years, Hazel has never been anything but terminal, her final chapter inscribed upon diagnosis. John Green is one of the best writers alive. They met, they become friends, and slowly they start to fall in love. The beloved, 1 global bestseller by John Green, author of The Anthropocene. Even if it’s about two cancer patients that met at a Support Group for other Cancer Kids around their ages. Green’s book is also a good example of why so many adult readers are turning to young-adult literature for the pleasures and consolations they used to get from conventional literary fiction.” - TIME “Green writes books for young adults, but his voice is so compulsively readable that it defies categorization. The Fault in Our Stars is the most awesome movie ever. Green shows us true love…and it is far more romantic than any sunset on the beach.” - NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW “One doesn’t like to throw around phrases like “instant classic” lightly, but I can see The Fault in Our Stars taking its place alongside Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret in the young-adult canon. Reviews ★ “In its every aspect, The Fault in Our Stars is a triumph.” - BOOKLIST, STARRED REVIEW “Luminous.” - ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY ★ “A smartly crafted intellectual explosion of a romance.” - KIRKUS, STARRRED REVIEW ★ “A blend of melancholy, sweet, philosophical, and funny.
