Library & Archives > Summer Reading > The Fault in Our Stars by John Green

The Fault in Our Stars by John Green

July 16, 2014 by Amanda VerMeulen

The Fault in Our StarsI enjoyed this book mainly because I enjoy romance novels and this one had an edge to it, cancer. Green took a new and unique angle to writing a love story. In literature there are only so many topics an author can write about, it’s the twist and way that they write that keeps readers engaged. I felt that I was engaged, but almost just because it was a popular book that people said I had to read. I felt like it was a bit slow and sometimes even repetitive, but overall I would highly recommend this book to anyone interested in something a little different than your average love story and something a bit main stream.

Read Jordan Gains’ review of The Fault in Our Stars.
