Case1 - You read a book. You get a hangover for a few days after completing it.
Case2- You read a book. The book ended and you start reading another book.
The Fault in our stars by John Green falls into the second category.
It is teenager-ish and amateur. Two terminally ill character fall in love and how they tried to find infinity within those few days is the main story. In such cases you expect the story to touch you. Well, this book somehow fails there. It lacks the soul. You read about Hazel and Augustus but you do not feel their pain. Even somehow cancer seemed less villain-ish in this book. A very average read and the roller coaster remained on a same level throughout. An average read. I would rate it 2.5/5.
However, if you wish to become a part of Augustus and Hazel's journey now that both hollywood and bollywood have shown their interest in it, you can get the book easily by clicking here-->> The Fault in Our Stars
I read this book and I belong to the case 1 category. It is kind of overrated though but as a young adult book, this is awesomeness <3
ReplyDeleteMay be.. But I personally felt it lacks a soul
DeleteShort but precise review...a common plot it seems with less depth...
ReplyDeleteManiparna - u r absolutely right... It lacks depth n soul... Pretty average read... However it could make a tear Jerker movie script...
