It's safe to say that:
1. The Fault in Our Stars is my favorite book.
2. John Green is my favorite author.
3. Augustus Waters (and Hazel) are of my favorite fictional characters.
Augustus Waters is a character that has taught me a lot. He taught me that I shouldn't take things for granted, taught me to live life at the fullest because it is the only one we get to live, to notice the little things the universe offers us, and to leave something behind when I'm gone. After finishing reading, I promised him that I would give it my best try.
A wise teacher once said in class that we should read books that make us question ourselves, who we are and what we stand for. TFiOS has definitely done that. It is a book with a little bit of everything for everyone: romance, humor, tragedy, philosophy, theology... It is so insightful that at times I had to put it down, pick it up, re-read it, and put it back down to think on what I just read. I don't think many books make you feel that way.
I will borrow the words from Hazel Grace (a.k.a. John Green) to try to define what TFiOS means to me:
The End.
Awesome words "We should read books which make us question ourselves, who we are and what we stand for"... Thanks for sharing
