The Fault in Our Stars Written by John Green

John Green has surely done it again with The Fault in Our Stars. The story is about a young lung cancer survivor named Hazel Grace who's been living off of a breathing machine and borrowed time for quite awhile. Her parents force her too return to her Cancer support group where she meets Augustus Waters. Another cancer survivor in his own right. The two of them evidently fall in live and set out to live the rest of what their lives have to offer. The Fault in Our Stars is a book that will leave you in tears from crying and from laughing. I would suggest this book too almost everybody as it can be enjoyed by everybody.

Passage: "There will come a time when all of us are dead. All of us. There will come a time when there are no human beings remaining to remember that anyone ever existed or that our species ever did anything. There will be no one left to remember Aristotle or Cleopatra, let alone you. Everything that we ever did and built and wrote and thought and discovered will be forgotten and all of this will be for naught. Maybe that time is coming soon and maybe it's millions of years away, but even if we survive the collapse of our son, we will not survive forever. There was time before organisms experienced consciousness, and there will be time after. And if the inevitability of human oblivion worries you, I encourage you to ignore it. God knows that's what everyone else does."
