Furthermore, his books have been published in several languages. John Green received the 2006 Michael L. Printz Award, a 2009 Edgar Award, and was a two-time finalist for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize. The Fault in Our Stars was first published in 2012. It is based on the story of a young teenager, named Hazel Grace Lancaster. Hazel is diagnosed with lung cancer and attends a weekly support group. One day during a session he meets Augustus Waters who has osteosarcoma, an unusual type of bone cancer. They quickly become friends and together they philosophize and reflect on life and death. A stronger relationship develops between them, they travel abroad and support each other physically and mentally. Hazel Grace Lancaster is the narrator of the story. She is introduced in the opening paragraph, where her mother diagnoses her as a depressed girl suffering from a life-threatening disease, cancer. “In the late winter of my seventeenth year, my mother decided that I was depressed, presumably because I rarely left the house, spent a lot of time in bed, reread the same book, ate little, and engaged in quite a lot of physical activity. free time thinking about death” (The Fault in Our Stars, page 3). As readers, we know Hazel in a distinctive approach. He has clearly reduced his social life and the normal activities that teenagers are supposed to engage in. Hazel is still a walking girl despite the effect the disease has on her body and her life. To please his parents, he attends a weekly support group, which “features…half of the paper…work experience. As readers, we want to follow Hazel Grace further into her life after the end of the novel. I would like to recommend The Fault in Our Stars to people who like reading tragic love stories. People interested in exploring human life from a perspective distant from what they would normally engage with. Other people who understand the context and plot. Jodi Picoult said the novel is "electric, full of staccato bursts of humor and tragedy". After reading it I couldn't agree more. Today The Fault in Our Stars is one of my favorite books that I can reread countless times. Every time a new door of thoughts opens. Philosophical questions roam my mind, but I know I'll never get concrete answers. This is why The Fault In Our Stars is a success and a bestseller.Works CitedFault in our stars
