These characters are cancer patients who meet at a support group for young people with cancer. The main characters in the film are Hazel Grace Lancaster and Augustus Waters. Actors And Characters In 'The Fault In Our Stars' Continue reading to learn more about the inspiration behind this book. We will now take a look at some facts about 'The Fault In Our Stars' that you may not have known. The script of the movie was written by Scott Neustadter and Michael H. But what many people don't know is that the story is based on a true-life story. The film was a huge success, both commercially and critically. It told the story of two young cancer patients who fell in love. This romantic drama was based on the best-selling novel of the same name by John Green. Not my cup of tea.In the summer of 2014, the world was introduced to 'The Fault In Our Stars.' It is very much a fly on the wall of life with little plot and lots of observation written from the perspective of a child. Yes, its written in the form of letters to the reader but I hoped there would've been more to move the story along. It really was like reading someone's diary rather than a novel. Apart from this major plot point I found little to no plot within the book. Arguably the writing style could have been foreshadowing for this but I failed to see any other indication. As I got to the end I felt like the subject wasn't given any forethought and was just thrown in to be a talking point when discussing the book. I feel like if there had been some foreshadowing throughout the book then it would been have really improved. (Trying to avoid spoilers but if you've read till the end or seen the movie or even just googled you'll know what part I mean here) There is a major plot point that is never really hinted at throughout the entire that is just thrown in at the end.
A lot of the sentences started the same way and I dont know if I would've felt the same (probably would have) if I had been reading a physical copy. Which considering how wide the book's reach is I was majorly disappointed by. It made the book very repetitive and kinda boring. I found the book kinda hard to listen to as the character (narrator) is written as a teenager but the writing style appears much younger. It gives some perspective to popularity, love, experimentation, and the trials that are high school and all it encompasses. Middle school aged kids and high school aged kids should definitely take the time to read this one. Overall, I think it was a great book, one that I had skipped over several times but very glad that I listened to in the end. I kept going over to my amazon music to find songs mentioned in this book, and that helped me get a feel for these characters as well. I did have to stop and remind myself that this was set in the early 90's because I kept finding myself taken aback by certain music/pop culture references, as I was still elementary age during the time this book was set. The narration was great, it brought forth the many emotions that Charlie endures through that year of high school. I think this book is one that people of all ages can relate to, and enjoy. I remember being in high school, just trying to find my place, trying to figure out where I fit in.
Personally, I connected so much with Charlie. I cannot wait for my 13 year old son to read (or listen) to this one. I picked this selection for a book club read, to determine if it was appropriate for middle/high school kids to read. Caught between trying to live his life and trying to run from it, Charlie must learn to navigate those wild and poignant roller-coaster days known as growing up.Ī number one New York Times best seller for more than a year, an American Library Association Best Book for Young Adults (2000) and Best Book for Reluctant Readers (2000), and with millions of copies in print, this novel for teens (or "wallflowers" of more-advanced age) will make you laugh, cry, and perhaps feel nostalgic for those moments when you, too, tiptoed onto the dance floor of life.
