Book Review: The Fault in Our Stars

Holy flippin' gosh, guys, I have been lucky enough to find some amazing books lately, this absolutely being one of them.

Before we start, knowing John Green as the genius that he is, I knew this had to be good. On the opposite side, however, with all those Tumblr girls and whatnot raving about it, I wasn't quite sure if it would be something good, or if it would be a Twilight-esque fad.

Anyway...

The Fault in Our Stars Review

Storyline

Hazel is a 16-year-old cancer patient who's been pretty unhappy with her life until, at the cancer support group her mother forces her to attend, she comes upon a "gorgeous plot twist". (Sorry, I can't claim that fun phrase. That's part of the official blurb.) One that happens to be named Augustus Waters.

Dun, dun dun...

★★★★★

This is one of the best books I've ever read. You're probably thinking What the heck you just said that to the last book omg, but I don't say that about every book. I rarely say that. All those Tumblr girls were right about this one - this book is worth the read.

You will laugh.

You will cry.

You will probably want to die because real life will probably never be this imperfectly perfect for you. 

John Green, you have earned respect from a reader. Which probably means .029131112% of a nothing to him at the moment, but, y'know. It's the thought that counts.

So pick this book the flip up and read it. Make sure you don't have anything planned for a while, though, because you won't be able to put it down. I have been thinking about this since I finished it a day ago. Seriously. I don't even feel that this review is worthy of its wonderfulness.

This is a Book Worth Reading.

Book Review: Because of Mr. Terupt

        Okay, to celebrate our total of 0 followers, I decided to do a book review! Yay! I think...

        As you have probably guessed, this review is about the novel Because of Mr. Terupt by Rob Buyea.

Holy cow, I loved this book - it's giving me chills.

Storyline

        This book follows 7 fifth graders through their year with the new teacher in the building (you guessed it guys), Mr. Terupt. The book rotates through their points of view, and you get to know each of their unique stories as the year goes on. And then - bam - a tragedy occurs. 

Characters

Jessica - The inevitable new girl. She's the smart one who's always carrying around a book. My kinda girl.

Alexia - It's like a middle schooler in fifth grade. Alexia is the snobby, backstabbing (not to mention lipgloss-wearing) frienemy of the class. 

Peter - The typical boy. A class clown, jerkface, whatever you wanna call them.

Luke - Think Brain from Arthur. He's the smart boy in the class, the mathematician, the one who's always getting asked "What was your answer, Luke? 'Cause I'm dumb and can't figure it out myself!"

Danielle - She isn't the shy one, but she never stands up for herself. Danielle is described as being overweight, and her very own frienemy is her biggest tormentor when it comes to this. 

Anna - Anna is the shy one. She's an outcast because of her family history which I'm NOT gonna tell you about hahaha read the book. 

Jeffrey - Jeffrey is quiet and indifferent. He's the one that hates school. 

Mr. Terupt - Is, of course, their teacher! He's the new one in the building. I'm not going to tell you anything more about him, either, because if you're still reading this boring review, you probably should go check the book out from the library. Right now. Because it's worth it.

And, finally, what you've been waiting for (I'm sure)...

OMG FIVE OUT OF FIVE STARS GUYS! It's such a good, cute story, but it's not too fluffy. It's in-depth, makes you think, but it's also a quick read. Ugh, I love it.

        If you're ever had a teacher inspire you, you'll love this book.

        If you've been indifferent to all your teachers, you'll love this book.

        If you have a heart, you'll love this book.

        

        I was laying in my room - alone - on a summer evening, reading this book, and I was just like:

Needless to say, it was amazing. This is a Book Worth Reading.
