That one word,
okay, has a whole new meaning after reading and watching
The Fault in Our Stars. The book was incredible and the movie exceeded my high expectations. John Green has written an incredible novel following the story of two star-crossed lovers Hazel and Augustus. I don't want to say too much because if you haven't read this book you need to; therefore, I don't want to ruin any of the major plot points.
Anyone who has gone into a theater to see a film adaptation of a book obviously has reservations: will it follow the book's plot explicitly, will the acting be up to par, will your favorite scene be included, and will it do the book justice. Director of
The Fault in Our Stars, Josh Boone, did-in my opinion-a fantastic job. I've read several articles about Green's reservations to let his book be made into a movie. He waited around for the right people to come along and be involved. Well I'm glad he waited because the finished product was nothing less than magic. I would pay to see it again and again and again. It took everything in my power to no be
that girl sobbing uncontrollably throughout the film due to overwhelming emotions of joy and sorrow.
So I guess the moral of this post is that if you haven't read
The Fault in Our Stars, do so
now. But it, borrow it from a friend, check it out at your local library, or download it on your Kindle, just read it. Then grab a box of tissues and fall in love with Ansel Elgort and Shailene Woodley's little infinity at the movie theater. I highly recommend both the book and the movie (but I'm a fan of reading the book first). I think this is a book everyone should read: boy, girl, thirteen, or thirty. Everyone can gain something from this novel and then watch it come to life on the silver screen. Okay? Okay.
Xoxo,
