1. Not the Typical Love Story
While there have been countless book on teenagers falling in love, The Fault in Our Stars adds in an extra element; both of John Green's characters have cancer. While falling in love can be hard enough, it is terribly beautiful to see two characters lose themselves completely to each other, all while battling cancer.

2. Augustus Waters
I fell in love with Augustus Waters as soon as he was introduced. He is bold, caring, and a little bit of a smartass. He pays attention to the world around him and sees beauty in everything, despite the fact that he only has one leg. He is the hero of the story, but unlike other stories, he still has his flaws.

Augustus Waters is a beloved character from the book "The Fault in Our Stars" by John Green. He is a seventeen-year-old cancer survivor who is living with only one leg. Despite his disability, Augustus is still a strong and brave character. He is intelligent, witty, and always looking on the bright side of life. He is incredibly loyal to his friends and loves deeply. Augustus is a hero in the story, but he is also flawed in many ways. He is a complex character that readers can easily relate to and admire.

4. Read It before It Hits the Big Screen
Everyone knows that it's better to read the book before you see a movie, not after. The Fault in Our Stars is coming to theatres this June and features the perfect Shailene Woodley and Ansel Elgort. While I am so excited for the movie, it is nice to read the book and get your own image of the characters before the movie ruins that for you.
5. It Will Make You Laugh
It may be a beautiful love story, but there is also humor in it. It's not about blatant jokes, but rather the ironic descriptions John Green puts into his novels. The small way he describes a character or a small comment someone makes provide the true humor in this novel.
