The Fault in Our Stars (or TFIOS) by John Green is a novel concerning a young cancer patient and her attempt to outrun death by living a life full of love. The story is beautifully written. I had put off reading it due to the teenage hype surrounding it; I thought it would be just another story of a childhood romance that was cheesy and unauthentic.
I ended up giving in, though, after my curiosity got the better of me. It was a late night and it ended with me watching the movie for The Fault in Our Stars. After the movie was finished, I immediately knew I had to read the book because we all know that the book is better than the movie. At least, that's the old adage. The book was a life changing experience. It proved to me that love was so much more than sappy people getting together out of sheer desperation. It showed that love was akin to art. Much like art, love is different for everyone and it can be interpreted a thousand ways. Love may end bht it's impact goes on.
