Here are some questions any can answer for the book we are currently reading which is The Fault in Our Stars. It would be nice to see someone answer a few of those questions.

1.) "What is the significance of the title? Would you have given the book a different title? If yes, what is your title"?

2.) "What were the themes of the book? Do you feel they were adequately explored? Were they brought to life in a cliche or in a unique manner"?

3.) "Has anything ever happened to you similar to what happened in the book? How did you react to it differently"?

4.) "What did you think of the structure and style of the writing"?

5.) "Were there any moments where you disagreed with the choices of any of the characters? What would you have done differently"?

6.) "Did any of the characters remind you of yourself or someone you know? How"?

7.) "What past influences are shaping the actions of the characters in the story"?

8.) "Did you think the ending was appropriate? How would you have liked to have seen the ending go"?

9.) "Have any of YOUR views or thoughts changed after reading this book"?

10.) "What did you learn from, take away from, or get out of this book"?

alessia (classick) I'm just starting to read it but for question one, I think they mentioned it in the book. Like on page 111.

In my humble opinion, Green develops 3 anti-heroes (Hazal-Gus-Isaac) whose cancer, to the outside world, just emanates pity, and compassion. But, never the less, they are the living proof of conciousness. The black humour plays an important role in the characters position towards their actual situation, and the reader doesn't feel bad about laughing while reading.
They are wounded stars, but steel stars, which their orbit is so unstable that their whole journey is uncertain.
There is a question in the book that is use as a "motto" to Augustu's family and to him that is: "without pain, how can we know joy" and this is the opposite from what the whole theme of the story is about.
The bows towards friendship is breathtaking.
This book isn't the typical tragedy we are use to read or watch when it comes about Cancer.
With this book, I cried of happiness.
