The Fault in Our Stars
von Lena , 15. März 2019
In der Ich-Perspektive wird die Geschichte der unheilbar an Krebs erkrankten Hazel Lancaster erzählt, welche rückblickend über die Zeit mit dem ebenfalls kranken Augustus Waters berichtet. Eine unglaublich gefühlvolle, witzige und endlos traurige Geschichte über die Liebe, das Leben und den Tod. John Green schafft es in so einmaligen und einfachen Sätzen, so viel komplexes Denken und Gefühle zu packen, dass man oftmals eine Passage mehrmals lesen und darüber nachdenken muss. Und obwohl ich die letzten Seiten kaum lesen konnte, da ununterbrochen die Tränen geflossen sind, hat er so viel Humor, Schlagfertigkeit und Sarkasmus eingebaut, welcher dermaßen gut platziert und passend war!

The story about Hazel Grace and Augustus shows how friendship and love can turn a life full of bad incidents into something wonderful. It even happens that cancer and death seem to be bearable.
A heart-warming and gorgeous story ? one of my favourites!

Overhyped Young Adult Novel
19. Februar 2014
The Fault in Our Stars is mainly set in present-day Indianapolis. While most of the time, the setting doesn?t seem to be that important, there is one scene, a dinner scene, that is breathtakingly beautiful.
The main characters in The Fault in Our Stars are Hazel and Augustus. Both are teenagers. We follow the story from Hazel?s perspective. With this book, the characters? believability is my main problem. Of course Hazel and Augustus might be more grown up than other people their age. But still, they act, talk and think like adults and they do this all the time. Both Hazel and Augustus (especially Augustus) aren?t believable in their roles as teenagers. At least for me.
I did like the plot though. I needed a little time to get going, but I enjoyed what I read, even if it was predictable. I?d really like to know what a whole classroom of teenagers would think of The Fault in Our Stars. If they don?t have a problem with the characters? believability, then I?d recommend this book to teenagers, or adults who really don?t mind as the central topics of friendship and illness are important. However, I think that The Fault in Our Stars might be a bit overhyped.
