~The Fault in our Stars~

Last month, I've read a book by John Green entitled "The Fault In Our Stars"



The book is about a sixteen-year-old cancer patient named Hazel who was forced by her parents to attend a support group, where she meets and falls in love with the seventeen-year-old Augustus, an ex-basketball player and amputee.

 According to its author, Mr. John Green, the title of the book was inspired by a famous line from Shakespeare's play Julius Caesar: "The fault, dear Brutus is not in our stars, / But in ourselves, that we are underlings."

This book is really inspiring because, it shows the challenges and pain felt by cancer patients and how strong they are to keep fighting. 

One big realization I had from the book is that: one's life can end anytime. It can end unexpectedly in the middle of our lives when we thought that everything is going perfectly.
