The Fault In Our Stars!

The book I am reading is called, The Fault In Our Stars by John Green. At the beginning of the book the girl is the narrator, and she begins to tell us about what her life was like, in the "winter of her 17th year". She has cancer and her parents decided that she was acting depressed, so her mother encouraged her to go to a weekly support group. It was there Hazel Grace Lancaster, the narrator, met a boy, Augustus Waters( A.K.A. Gus).  Then the story goes on about the two of them and their complications, his being a survivor of osteosarcoma, and he lost his right leg to it, so driving with him, for Hazel Grace is... jolting. 

Dear Journal,
Tonight I went to a cancer support group thing with my best bud Isaac and the people there were interesting. You have the one's who are dealing with having cancer and just trying to live their lives as normally as they can, you have those who are trying to help others get through the tough times, by sharing their stories.... repeatedly even though they have survived the cancer, and then you have Hazel Grace. Well let me tell you something... that girl... scratch that, WOMAN, is amazing. She is brilliant in the way she talks, she is beautiful, she is so full of insight it makes you wonder if she ever gives her brain a break besides sleep, and there is just something about her that makes me smile, besides the fact that she reminds me of Natalie Portman in the movie V for Vendetta.
 
Well tonight after the support group I brought Hazel Grace home with me to watch V for Vendetta because she had never seen it and I wanted to hang out with her some more to get to know her better. Before the movie I brought her downstairs and showed her the basement and let her borrow that book that was a novel of my favorite video game, The Price of Dawn. She suggested I read a book called An Imperial Affliction, her all time favorite book by Peter Van Houten. I just hope she finishes reading the book I gave to her, because that is when she said we could hang out again.  Hopefully that's soon! :)      

Me again,
Gus
