John Green, the author, is very witty and his writing style also obtains this quality. Since the book is written in Hazel's point of view, John writes her voice as very sarcastic and intelligent, to a point where it's as if she knows everything. The intended audience of this book could be anyone. Even though it is necessarily a "love story", the hilarious novel could appeal to any audience that reads it. John Green is a fantastic author and this book is definitely a five star book.

"The Fault in Our Stars" Book Review
After finishing The Fault in Our Stars, I have come to one conclusion: this is one of the best books I have ever read. This novel is an emotional rollarcoaster of a story that is amazingly written. The book takes place in modern day Indianna, with a terminal cancer pacient, Hazel. Hazel's caring (maybe a little too-caring) mother forces Hazel to go to weekly support group, where a cancer survivor attemps to inspire the viewers of the meeting. Hazel hates going to these sessions but she attends anyway to preserve her mom's feelings. At one of the support group meetings, she meets Augustus, a 17 year-old cancer survivor who seems to enjoy Hazel's presence. As the two become friends, they spend a lot of time together and Hazel introduces Augustus to a book in which they both share a common love for, Imperial Affliction. Hazel and Augustus end up getting Augustus' Wish (Wish Foundation) granted and go to Amsterdan to meet the author of the book. After having a nice dinner together and meeting the disappointment of the author, Hazel and Augustus travel back to Indianna with upsetting news. The two spend as much time together as possible. In the end, true love is described as the common feeling between the lovers.

I really enjoyed your summary. I also enjoyed your diction while writing by using words like witty and phrases like emotional rollercoaster.
