The Fault In Our Stars

When i was little i used to read all the time. I'd always have a book in my arms and would frequently stay up till the early hours of the morning finishing off books. When i went to high school though this all changed as i found myself having far less time to read and far more work than i knew what to do with. Since leaving school and attending college i set it upon myself to start reading more than i had while i was at high school which was one book in four years so it's not particularly hard to beat.



I picked up The Fault In Our Stars last summer when it was still a very much hyped over book but never really got around to reading it until the christmas holidays and even then it was only in short bursts. Recently though, over the past few weeks I've been finding that i haven't been sleeping well so instead of scrolling through twitter before bed i turned my phone off and picked up the John Green book that we all know and love.

This book isn't the kind of book i would typically go for, I'm more into murder mysteries and suspense books but this for whatever reason really got to me. John Green is an effective author who uses flawless techniques to create a sense of realism within the book, making it more of a diary of a friend than a book by an author. The story while sad and inevitable is gripping until the very last page and leaves you feeling slightly lost without having anything more to read.

I really enjoyed reading this book and its something id recommend to anyone, even if you're not an avid reader. It really is a heart warming, easy going book thats sure to catch a few hearts along the way.

  1. Thanks for the recommendation!
    I love a good book and I am the same I prefer something a bit more thrilling to read and to keep me captivated but ever so often a slower paced novel captures me in a away that no other book has before!
    Great Post Thanks again!

    1. This is definitely a more fun, slower pace novel. I just picked it up as and when i had time to read and it worked really well. Can wait to go and see the film now! x

  2. If you likes this book, you should also read Looking For Alaska. It's also by John Green and it's amazing!
