The Fault In Our Stars
written by John Green
I have read the book and watch the movie The Fault In Our Stars directed by Josh Boone. The Fault In Our Stars is a story of a 17 year old girl named Hazel Grace who has lung cancer and falls in love with a boy named Augustus Waters. They go traveling and Augustus gets sick and dies sooner than they thought. I would recommend the book just because there is more information than the movie.
The main character was Hazel Grace and she was a 17 year old girl
that had lung cancer. She didn't look like what I thought she was in the book to the movie. In the movie she has a boy haircut and dresses like an older woman, and in the book she has brown hair, green eyes and a boy haircut. In the book and movie she goes to a support group and tells everyone about herself and what she has. This evidence proves that in the book it was better because it gave more information about Hazel being sick and she going to support groups etc..
One part that wasn't in the book was when in Amsterdam they were
in the room after Anne Franks house and then they had sexual encounters and Hazel said ” I love you so much Augustus Water ” and Augustus said “ I love you so much Hazel Grace.” I think
it made me understand the movie more. It changed the storyline
because it showed that young adults can do what they want. I
wouldnt recommend this book because it made it less innocent relationship.
One part that wasn’t in the movie was when Hazel and her friend
Kaitlyn went to the mall and Kaitlyn texted Hazel “Awesomesause
happy half birthday” and before meeting Hazel at the mall then they
went shopping and Hazel hasn’t seen her in a bit and then Kaitlyn said “ I have to see you more often darling”, then Kaitlyn meeting Hazel at the mall. I think this made me understand the friendship better with some that sick and someone that not sick and has good health. I don’t think it affected the story line. I recommend the book because it give the people the little details I think that people should read the book instead of watching the movie ecause the book has a lot more detail then the movie, also the book had all the little details.

The Fault In Our Stars
I read the book The Fault in Our Stars by John Green and watched the movie The Fault in Our Stars by Josh Boone. The story is about Hazel Grace, who has cancer, and meets Augustus Waters, who also has cancer. During their quest, Augustus helps Hazel find her favorite author of her favorite book, A.I.A., and they build a relatable relationship that helps each other through their cancer journey. I recommend the movie over the book.
On page nine, Hazel says, “I had this pageboy haircut, and I hadn't even bothered to brush it. Furthermore, I had ridiculously fat chipmunked cheeks, a side effect of treatment.” She had short hair in the movie; I thought Hazel would have blonde hair. The book was not very detailed when portraying the main character. The movie is better because you can visually see the character, but in the book, there are not enough details to show that you don't have to guess/make up what the character looks like.
In the movie, Hazel is on her way to the support group when she runs into Augustus before the group starts. In the book, the only first time Augustus and Hazel meet is sitting in the support circle. On page nine, Hazel says, “I walked into the circle and sat down next to Isaac, two seats away from the boy. I glanced again. He was still watching me.” This wouldn't exactly affect the storyline because it's not an important scene. It's an introduction to a new character to show that he might have an important role later in the movie. I recommend the film over the book because it shows more emotion.
In the book, Hazel has a friend named Kaitlyn. They talked about boy problems; she was an understanding, supportive friend. Kaitlynn and Hazel go to the mall together, but in the movie, there is no scene where the mall takes place; in fact, Kaitlynn is never mentioned at all. Page forty says, “I'll text Kaitlynn and see if she wants to go to the mall or something after school.” This affected the movie's ending because, on page 302, towards the ending, Kaitlynn says, “Then maybe they weren't written for you.” which gave Hazel the idea that Peter Van Houten had it. In the movie, Peter Van Houten gives Hazel the letter Augustus wrote after the funeral. Hazel finds out through Isaac that Augustus has written a letter to Peter Van Houten, and she reads the letter from her car. I recommend watching the movie because you feel more vulnerable to emotions; instead, the book doesn't show the emotional details.

"The Fault in Our Stars" manages to strike a delicate balance. It's a film centered on a difficult subject, yet it avoids feeling manipulative. The strength of the narrative lies in its grounded approach. The story, adapted from John Green's novel, explores the lives of young people navigating serious illness with a refreshing honesty. The direction keeps the focus firmly on the characters, allowing their relationships and struggles to resonate. The cinematography, while subtle, creates an intimate and believable world.
Shailene Woodley delivers a powerful performance, anchoring the film with her nuanced portrayal of Hazel. Ansel Elgort, alongside her, creates a believable and touching romantic connection. Even in his smaller role, Willem Dafoe adds a layer of depth. The script is a major asset, offering realistic and emotionally impactful dialogue. The soundtrack effectively amplifies the film's emotional beats, contributing to the overall atmosphere without overpowering the narrative.
In essence, "The Fault in Our Stars" is a compelling film that handles its sensitive subject matter with sincerity. It's a story that stays with you, thanks to strong performances, a well-crafted script, and thoughtful direction. It succeeds in creating a moving experience that transcends typical teen romance tropes.
