Minor character
A minor character in The Fault in Our Stars would be Hazel's dad. He's not in the story much, she usually only mentions him when he's crying which happens a lot. He's usually crying since his daughter has cancer, and is scared she's going to die or something. I think if he was more of a major role, like it would describe him more and him being with Hazel or have his view on why he was crying and what he's afraid of, I think it would be better. I would love to see his view on things and hear about him and Hazel more. It would make you feel bad for her dad more if you knew why he was crying instead of getting annoyed with it.
TFIOS flaws
So I'm going to give my opinion on what I thought was the worst thing about The Fault In Our Stars. It was an all around amazing book, and I think has impacted me the most out of all the books I've ever read. The only thing I don't like is the ending, but then again I do. I don't want to give it away but I'll just say it was very very VERY upsetting. It ended in such a sad way, but I also don't think the author could've done it any better. I think the only reason I didn't like it was because it was so real and didn't have a happily ever after like most books. It hit you in the gut of how life really is and that sad things do happen and you have to be able to live with them. I think I like books or movies because they always end happy or the way you want, and it helps you escape from life, but TFIOS ended in such a real way that it upset me. I didn't like the ending, but then again I loved it.
The Fault in Our Stars
So I read the book The Fault In our Stars since everyone was talking about it, and recommended it to me. I now regret listening to everyone. Not because it was bad, because it's the total opposite. It was probably the most amazing book I ever read, but also the saddest. I'm not going to give anything away because I hate people like that, but I would give you a warning beforehand. The book should definitely have a warning label on the outside warning you that it emotionally ruins you. The book also really makes you cherish your life and how you don't have health problems. It's about a girl who has cancer incase you didn't know named Hazel, who meets a boy named Augustus who also had cancer and had to get his leg amputated. They meet at a support group for cancer, and he instantly likes her and asks her to hangout the day they met. They do and their relationship escalates from there. They both have the same love for a book called An Imperial Infliction and both want to meet the author since the book doesn't have an ending so they have many questions for the author of the book. But the problem is, he lives in Amsterdam, and it's hard for Hazel to travel since she has lung cancer, and they think it's too dangerous. I won't give anything else away, but I highly recommend this book, with caution that it is upsetting.
