the fault in our stars movie review christian

Hazel stays by his side, their love growing all the while, until he dies. No sooner do they return to America then Augustus finds that his cancer has returned worse than ever.

They deal with their disappointment by going to a hotel and taking one another’s virginity. They do meet him and find that he is an angry, raving alcoholic and that they will get no answers from him. Because Van Houten deliberately left the book unfinished, her dream is to go to Holland to meet him and to find closure by finding out what happened to the characters.Īs she and Augustus date, we find out that Augustus has an outstanding Wish (granted by a Make-a-Wish foundation) and he uses his wish to take Hazel to Amsterdam to meet the elusive Van Houten. This book so closely describes her life and condition that she views it as her Bible, the book that best describes reality as she experiences it. Hazel and Augustus immediately hit it off and begin a romance centered around Hazel’s favorite book: An Imperial Affliction by the fictional author Peter Van Houten. One day she attends a church-based cancer support group where she meets Augustus who is seventeen and recovering from osteosarcoma. Though drugs are currently controlling her illness, she knows that she has only years, not decades, to live. Hazel, who narrates the book, is sixteen and has lungs so badly damaged by cancer that she must always be connected to a source of oxygen. (I am assigning this review a full-out spoiler alert you have been warned.) The Fault in Our Stars centers around two teenaged characters who are brought together in a common battle against cancer.
