The Fault in Our Stars Review
The Fault in Our Stars To have a life is an opportunity; to live it happily is a choice. Who is not afraid to die? Who is not afraid to be forgotten? Who is not afraid to leave Earth empty-handed and unprepared? The book “The Fault in Our Stars” possesses a story of life and death.

She expected a satisfying response from the author but it was not given to her thus all her efforts were put into waste. Isaac, Gus and Hazel’s friend, who at first was someone so naughty turned out to be really unbelievable.
