The Fault in Our Stars setting

So far I've only read up through the first three chapters.  The main settings in this book so far are the Support Group for kids that survived cancer and Augustus' house.  The main character, Hazel has beaten cancer but still has bad lungs.  She is also depressed so her mom makes her go a support group to try and make her to be more social. At the support group she met Augustus. Hazel and Augustus live in Indianapolis.  It hasn't been said yet when the story is occurring.

There isn't much description about the setting but in chapter two there was a great description of how Hazel looked when she was 14 and still battling cancer, "I was looking pretty dead-my hands and feet ballooned; my skin cracked; my lips were perpetually blue."  I think john Green did a great job at making the reader visualize Hazel.  I can see her in my head as a young fragile girl lying down in a hospital bed.

Why I chose The Fault in Our Stars

After lots of nagging from my friends, I finally got the book The Fault in Our Stars.  My friends have been bugging me for a long time that I should read it.  I wasn't so sure about reading this book because I've heard thats it's REALLY sad.  I don't typically like being sad or reading sad books, I like to be happy. :)  But so many people have said they loved it so I finally gave in and picked up the book from Half Price Books.  I haven't read any of it yet because I just finished reading Perks Of Being a Wallflower. 

I have already heard that the book is mainly about two cancer patients that fall in love.  But I have a few predictions.  I predict that one of the two main charactors are going to die from cancer.  I predict this because people have said that this book is really sad, and if the two main characters are fighting cancer then it just seems like a giveaway that someone will die.

About John Green

I just got the book The Fault In Our Stars.  A lot of people have told me they loved this book and that i should read it too, so i decided that I would give it a try.  This book is written by John Green.  John Green was born in Indianapolis, but moved to Orlando, Florida three weeks later.  He graduated from Kenyon College in 2000 with a double major in English and Religious Studies.  After college Green worked in a children's hospital for five months.  He originally planned to be an Episcopal Priest, but while he was working in the children's hospital, it inspired him to become an author, and later wrote The Fault In Our Stars.  

In 2007, Green and his brother, Hank, started a YouTube Channel called "vlogbrothers".  They communicate by text only and they vlog at the same time.  They also had another YouTube channel where thy would host game shows called the HankGames which is mostly footage of video games.

John Green now lives in Indianapolis, Indiana with his wife Sarah. John and Sarah have two kids, Alice and Henry.  The family also has a West Highland Terrier named Willy.
