The Fault In Our Stars/John Green/318 pgs.

This book has been given so much hype, that I was expecting to be disappointed--that didn't happen. The story revolves around Hazel Grace Lancaster and Augustus Waters, both teenagers, and both living with cancer. In Hazel's case, the cancer is terminal, and the drugs and oxygen are buying her time. In Augustus's case, the cancer is, and has been, in remission about 14 months. They meet at a cancer support group, and the story takes off from there. The story is told in Hazel's voice, and is told in a very down to earth manner. The dialogue and emotions ring very true in the novel, and gives the reader a very realistic view of cancer patients. Highly recommended, and the movie is coming out this June.
