Shailene Woodley, along side Ansel Elgort, brought the book to life giving a vey realistic and emotional performance of Hazel Grace and Augustus Water’s. Together the two embark on a journey of acceptance and self-discovery.Īuthor John Green takes the teenage fears of the unknown and falling in love for the first time in a new direction by having characters who know all too well that their “forever is numbered.” Wonderfully casted, the cast features no big name A-listers that would distract from the story itself. Augustus is the opposite he appears fearless and confident in spite of his illness all while being slightly hung up on the idea of leading an “epic life” and being someone that goes down in history as having done something great.
The story is told from the perspective of the protagonist, Hazel Grace-a girl who is reluctant to open up for fear of who she might hurt, and whose sense of duty to her parents is so strong she worries about them more than she does herself. While a major point of the story is the fact that these two are terminally ill, The Fault in Our Stars is by no means a story about cancer. With a box office opening of 50 million-beating out Angelina Jolie and Tom Cruise films for the week-the film certainly made an impact.
Acclaimed as this generation’s The Notebook, John Green’s The Fault in Our Stars tells the story of teens Hazel Grace and Augustus Waters, who meet in a cancer support group and fall in love as they battle cancer.
