 Why This Book has Value:
The Fault in Our Stars is a book about a teenage couple that falls in love. They both have been diagnosed with cancer. Since they have cancer, they have a support group where they met. They get to know each other really well throughout the book. Hazel reads a book called An Imperial Affliction. She really liked the book that she wanted to meet the author so that she could ask him questions about the ending of the book. Since she really liked the book, she recommends it to Augustus who also liked the book. Augustus uses his wish to take Hazel, her mom and him to Amsterdam for a chance to meet the author. When they're in Amsterdam many things happen. Some good and some bad.One of them is that they have found out that Augustus cancer has started to spread throughout his body. I don't want to spoil it so i will leave it up to you to read the ending.
This book is an important book that I believe everyone should read. One of the reasons is that it shows real life problems. For example cancer. This book shows us what a cancer patient has to go through. Many people today have this illness. But their example can help others overcome other obstacles in life that are not big as cancer. “Hazel is such an inspiration to me; she really is. She just keeps fighting the battle, waking up every morning and going to war without complaint. She’s so strong. She’s so much stronger than I am. I just wish I had her strength.” This quote from the book shows us that their example can motivate others. This book also has other real life examples. One of them would be bullying. Hazel says, “I shut down the computer and got up, but I couldn’t get the wall post out of my mind, and for some reason it made me nervous and unhungry” This quotation is important because it can be a text to world quote. I say this because Hazel was looking at posts people had made. After looking at them, she was nervous and unhungry. I think this can relate to the world because people can read a lot of stuff online, sometimes mean stuff, and this can make them nervous or unhungry like hazel. 
I believe that everyone should read this book because it can give us some life advice. Mostly to young teenagers because we may believe that “ the world was a wish-granting factory.” But this is not the case in the world today.  Although we can't get everything we want, this book shows us that we should live to the fullest and not let other stuff control our lives. “I didn’t think it was Gus at first, because it didn’t sound anything like the low rumble of his speaking, but then I heard a voice that was definitely a twisted version of his say, “BECAUSE IT IS MY LIFE, MOM. IT BELONGS TO ME.”

John Green did a really good job making this book because it can teach us very good life lessons which is why it was a bestseller book. I encourage you to read the book, especially teen, because it's a really good and important book.
