The Fault in our Stars | REVIEW

Hello all!

On Wednesday, I went with two of my friends to see The Fault in our Stars! I read the book around this time in 2012 and I remember when John Green announced that it was going to be a movie-I was so excited!

Although the book is good, it has so much hype around it and I wouldn’t call it THE BEST BOOK EVER like so many people do. Despite this, I felt Josh Boone’s adaptation is so close to the book! It was such an enjoyable movie (I didn’t cry because I was preparing myself for the moment).


The acting was fantastic, I think they chose the characters extremely well and I love that the movie had added humour as well! Ansel Elgort played such a fantastic Gus and don’t even get me started on Shailene Woodley because I literally love her so much.

I would definitely recommend going and seeing the movie, if you’ve read the book or not. Without giving too much away, it’s basically a teenage love story that I feel will be enjoyable to all.

It's definitely one of my new favourite movies!

Book Recommendations

Hello again. Sorry it has been awhile my computer was having some mishaps with open a word document-I was extremely angry. Anyway, I have a lot of ideas for different posts I can do and I am excited to show them to you all. This post I’m going to tell you about my favourite books as, if you didn't know, I absolutely love reading.

I’m going to start with a typical one that everyone knows. The Fault In Our Stars by John Green. This book, in my opinion, is the teensy bit overrated. I have heard a lot of people say how absolutely incredible it is and that it’s the best book ever. Yes, it is a great book and an easy read, but I would never call it “the best book ever”. Don’t get me wrong, I do love it I just don’t think it lives quite up the hype. Also, the movie is being filmed at the moment which I am insanely excited for.

Next is The Summer I Turned Pretty by Jenny Han. As you could’ve guessed, it’s about a former unattractive girl who suddenly becomes desirable within the course of one summer. This is such as simple book but I love it. It’s a series although I have only read the first book. I would recommend this to anyone of any age as, literally, it is a very easy read. It is a very girly book so if you don’t usually enjoy the type you probably wouldn't like it.

Next is Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist by David Levithan and Rachel Cohn. Obviously this was co-written and although some co-written books turn out extremely bad this worked really well. The entire book is based on only one night. It has already been made into a movie and I would also recommend the movie as it is actually I very accurate representation of the book. (also Michael Cera stars in it-need I say more?) Yes but overall really incredible book.

I saved the best until last. Go Ask Alice by Anonymous. This book is made up of segments of a girls diary and shows her experiences with drugs. This book is so real and detailed (although at sometimes not due to her being high while writing). After reading this book I felt everything as well as nothing. It is indescribable to say the least. This would be the book that I recommend the most as it is the definition of incredible.

So these are just a few of my favourite books that I felt like sharing with you. I hope you do consider reading them, or maybe you already have.
