The Fault In Our Stars

The Fault in our stars

It seems like everyone has seen/ or read  the "Fault In Our Stars".  Since I'm behind the game I figured I better start right and read the book. Everyone has been wanting me to read it, so I decided too! So far I'm on chapter one, so I can't really say much about it. I've read many reviews and they all rave about it.

What I like about the book so far-
The author is straightforward in his writing. What I mean by straight forward is for example it says "Depression is not a side effect of cancer. Depression is a side effect of dying." To me this quote seems like the author is being more truthful with the reader, I like that because there is no deception or lies. John Green also has great diction in my opinion. Green uses words like episcopal (of a bishop or bishops), veritable (used as an intensifier, often to qualify a metaphor) and meager (lacking in quanity or quality). I think using words like this really makes it interesting to read. So far it's a great book.
