Sorry for a lack of posts this week, university has been crazy busy and this is the first bit of down time I've had where I can share my books with you. 

Today I have decided to share The Fault In Our Stars because it has to be my favourite book ever, which is a bit of a shock for me because there is no crime or detective work in this, and that's my literary staple. I decided to read this because 1) I'd recently got into the Vlog Brothers and it was around the time the movie was coming out so there was a lot of talk from John and Hank about TFIOS and 2) the rest of the world was going crazy for it so I thought I would give it a chance. I am so glad I did. 

I was worried at first that I wouldn't like it because I don't like mushy books. However that worry diminished in the first sentence, literally. The reason for this is because John Green writes exactly like he speaks and I was hooked on his Vlogs, so I instantly became hooked on the story. I read this book ridiculously quickly, I've only had this happen once before, where I just couldn't put it down (in the end I had to because I nearly fell asleep). Collectively I think this book took me 4-5 hours to read. Its the perfect recipe; a good amount of humour, with a little heart ache (I cried! I never cry at anything!), great honesty and a beautiful blossoming romance. 

I've also never felt so strongly about characters and connected to them in the way TFIOS made me. John Green is a genius! The way he has dealt with such a difficult situation, I feel, was done excellently. Its really honest but he hasn't done it in a horribly depressing way, so I feel this helped me connect with the situation more.
