Post 3: Book 1

The book I read was, The Fault in Our Stars, and I finished it very quickly because it was the kind of book that you wanted to keep reading. It was a sad book and when I finished reading it I still wasn't very happy, but I think that’s what made it so good, it ended so tragically. Although it ended with death, it ended in such a way that the main characters both got closure, which I feel like is hard to obtain when someone dies.  It's pretty obvious that a book about two teenagers with cancer falling in love isn’t going to have a perfect ending, so I expected to feel sad while reading. What I didn’t expect was to feel so awful over fictional characters that only existed within the pages of a book. I have heard from many people that this was a really good book, and it met the expectations set for it, while reading I went through all the emotions that Hazel and Gus went through and that's part of the reason I liked this book so much.
