Book-to-Movie-Review: The Fault in Our Stars

Firstly, John Green's The Fault in Our Stars is a simply amazing book.  It tells the story of Hazel Grace Lancaster, a teenager with lung cancer, who falls in love with the charming Augustus Waters.  Touching, funny, and sad, it is definitely a must-read for fans of YA romance and realistic fiction and even readers that don't tend to enjoy those genres.  It is beautifully written and incredibly entertaining.  It's a quick read that is well worth the little time it takes to be read.  However, this book is not for younger readers as it contains some cursing and adult content.

The movie for The Fault in Our Stars is very close to the book, and so beautiful that it will probably make viewers cry (much like how the book can bring tears to the reader's eyes).  However, a lot of Augustus's backstory wasn't shown, and some minor scenes were cut.  Of course, that is to be expected of movie adaptations.  Despite the changes, the movie is not at all a disappointment for readers that loved the book.

Both the book and movie are highly recommendable.

Until nest post,
