The Fault in Our Stars.

This book was one that I knew I wanted to read. I also knew that it would bother me since I come from a cancer ridden family. I'll try for no spoilers but this book has a sad ending not like OMG I hate the way that ended. Which was how I felt about the Divergent trilogy. This ending is sad but the journey to the ending is so beautiful. I have seen some online reviews where people said they find the characters unreletable. I personally found them very relate able. I think people who can't relate to Hazel Grace or Gus have maybe just not been around any awesome sarcastic people. You should definitely read this book it is one that I can't think of anyone I know who would not benefit from reading it. I know that sounds strange but it's true I think there is something positive that everyone could take from this book. I love Hazel Grace because we both say, "My lungs suck at being lungs" Although hers is no doubt more severe then mine. I saw the movie and I am a harsh critic of movies made from books because I am most definitely a book reader more then a movie fan. The movie was great it captured the characters well. I loved it and will be buying it on Dvd when it comes out. That being said there were minor differences that I noticed. The egg scene at Monica's house is much funnier in the book but I loved the movie almost as much as the book so please if you haven't already, Read the book, and then watch the movie!!! You won't regret it!

Must read before the movie.

You have most likely seen previews for the new movie Divergent. I highly recommend reading the awesome book before seeing the movie. I am currently reading the second book, Insurgent. I can barely tear myself away from it. I can't wait for the movie. Other then then main male character seeming less lovable in the previews then he is in the book, I think it looks good. We shall have to see when it comes out. I just hope my hubby finishes the book before we see the movie!

Book review

I just finished the second book in the Unwind series. "Unwholly" This book had me on the edge of my seat. I pride myself in being able to predict what is going to happen in a book and this book dropped my jaw several times. Just when you think everything looks bleak and it's going to be horrible for someone the situation changes. The rug was pulled out from under some of my favorite characters in this book. It has several new characters including Camus Comprix. Who is a wonderfully complex character. At times you want to hate him, hug him, slap him, or love him. It continues the story from the first book and has some amazing revelations about characters from Unwind. I would really recommend this book to all my fellow book worms. There are characters that you love to love, some you love to hate, and some you hate to love. This book is brilliant. I am officially a huge fan of this author!

Book Recommendation!

Unwind Neal Shusterman.
I have recently finished reading the first unwind book in the trilogy. I would definitely recommend you check these books out especially if you liked The Hunger Games books. The book is also set in america in the future. We've had another civil war. The issue we were warring over was Pro-life or Pro-choice. So america decides that the only solution that will appease both sides is that no human life can be ended before 13 years of age. Between ages 13 and 18 your parents may decide to unwind you. That means that you are not dead but you live in a divided state. So all of your body parts are donated to keep others alive. This book makes you think. I haven't been this mixture of disturbed and unable to put a book down since The Hunger Games. This is another glimpse into a possible future that I for one don't want to ever exist. I love when fictional books make me think so much about real life issues. I don't think this book is good for too young of a reader but I think everyone should read this book! I can't wait to finish the Trilogy!!! +Neal Shusterman
