Okay, before I begin this rant. John Green is a great author, with a really good writing style. He has other really good books and really good ideas and an eloquent way of expressing his ideas, but I just need to DISCUSS MY FEELINGS about The Fault in Our Stars right now.
My biggest problem with the book is the characters. Augustus and Hazel. They have cancer, and they live close to death - I UNDERSTAND. It is sad, and they have a different perspective and life. But I literally do not see a time where I will meet teenagers who talk with metaphors and similes and deep reflections on life like (below is an example of a situation in which two teenagers are talking. One responds like how Augustus and Hazel do):
Teenager 1: why do u like me so much
Teenager 2: I’m in love with you, and I know that love is just a shout into the void, and that oblivion is inevitable, and that we’re all doomed and that there will come a day when all our labor has been returned to dust, and I know the sun will swallow the only earth we’ll ever have, and I am in love with you.
Teenager 1: ok
OKAY?
OKAY.
