The Fault in our Stars by John Green

This week I read the book The Fault in our Stars by John Green. This book was about a 16 year old girl, Hazel, who has lung cancer where fluid fills her lungs making it hard to breathe. She also has tumors in her lungs making the fluid that much worse. She has to always be hooked up to an oxygen tank or else her she has trouble breathing. she has been pulled from school, has an over protective mother and the only thing she does away from her house is she goes to a cancer support group. One day at her support group though she meets seventeen year old Augustus. He is an ex-basketball player and amputee. He had had cancer in his leg and had to have it amputated. He came to the support group to support his friend Isaac, who is a regular and is going through a tough time, but also meets Hazel. They hang out after the first support group and from that blossoms a friendship. 

This was a really good book. It is a different read from what I am used to but I still enjoyed it. There is parts of this that have some more mature content but I think everyone could read it. I suggest this book. Its really good and worth reading.
