The Fault in Our Stars (TFIOS) by John Green has developed a cult following of “nerdfighters.” thanks to the wildly popular YouTube channel “VlogBrothers,” hosted by John and Hank Green.
I was late coming onto the bandwagon. I couldn’t understand why people were crying and posting a bunch of pictures with two clouds, one black and one white, with the words “Okay.” After reading the book, I completely understand.
Inspired by John Green’s friend Esther Earl (who wrote her real-life story in This Star Won’t Go Out), TFIOS is a story about love, life, and hope. John Green skillfully captures (and breaks) the hearts of his readers within the span of a short 318 pages. Having recently experienced my grandmother’s fight with cancer, the scenes were as authentic as they were poignant. The director decided to cast real cancer survivors as Hazel Grace’s support group for the movie. Read more on the Book Website.
The Movie
I CRIED so much during this movie. I mean, I expected it, what with all the weeping I did while reading the story, but my God, I cried! This was definitely one of my FAVORITE book-to-film adaptations. I think the casting was perfect (even though I was worried because the two leads were brother and sister in Divergent). Shailene Woodley and Ansel Englort were PERFECTION.
Woodley clarifies “It's a love story about two kids with cancer but it's not about cancer.”
John Green has been vlogging his time on the TFIOS set and conducting cast interviews for his fans (just another reason you should subscribe to the VlogBrothers on YouTube). Read more on the Movie Website.
If you haven't already read the book and seen the movie, go and do both, but be prepared to cry a lot. So bring tissues.
