6/12/2023 0 Comments The fault in our stars full book![]() The main reason for this is that I found Gus and Hazel believable and very likeable. ![]() I'll admit to finding The Fault In Our Stars a bit too sickly sweet at times but when it scores, it scores very well. Hazel and Gus are heavily influenced by a book about a character who goes through the same experience as them except that the novel ends abruptly and this is a source of irritation for the both of them. Their parents try their best to be supportive whilst at the same time giving them space but they find this balance difficult at times. Hazel is more insular and reserved and is probably caused by the isolation forced upon her by the ongoing treatment. Gus is full of himself but not in an arrogant way, I thought it more of an inner confidence. Others who think you are better off not knowing what you are missing might see it less positively.Ī story about 2 teens (Hazel and Gus) who meet at a cancer support group might not immediately seem like something you would want to watch but it is funny at times and very positive in the main. ![]() Those like me who think it's better to have the good for however long than none at all will see it one way. How you view this story might depend on your opinion on loss. Any film that can force me to shed a tear gets extra marks and The Fault In Our Stars qualifies in this regard. ![]()

That choice might seem strange for a contemporary story set in the suburbs of Connecticut - not a place the average American reader would expect to need a translator. Kendra James’ debut, “ Admissions: A Memoir of Surviving Boarding School,” begins with a glossary. Two new books eviscerate that concept, examining from very different angles the warping effect that predominantly white institutions can have on young Black women. The myth of colorblindness contends that anyone can thrive in America: All we need to do is give underserved groups access to existing structures of power and the rest will work itself out.
