I
had no idea what to expect when I decided to read The Fault in Our Stars. I first heard about John Green from my
sister who owned Paper Towns and
mentioned to me that someone she talked to said that Looking for Alaska was an awesome book, which is John Green’s first
book. It took me a while to begin reading Looking
for Alaska because I was reading another book at the time. After reading Looking for Alaska I read An Abundance of Katherine’s, but I
wasn’t ecstatic when I found out that John Green was publishing another book. It
was all remembering. I needed a book to read and I remembered about The Fault in Our Stars.
The
Fault in Our Stars was surprising as I read and read. For
any book I read, I tend to look up what the book is about. I didn’t do that for
Our Fault in Our Stars. When I
checked it out from the library I read the summary on the book jacket. I had no
idea what to expect, absolutely no idea. This is why I was always surprised as
I read page after page and when I thought I knew what was going to happen next,
what I thought would happen never ended up happening. This was what kind of
kept me reading, the fact that I didn’t know the story. I would recommend this
book to anyone who seeks surprises.
Also,
when I returned The Fault in Our Stars
back to the library I placed a poem inside entitled, I May, I Might, I Must by Marianne Moore. I hope the person who
finds it reads it and if they don’t I will never know. I tried.
