Augustus is charming and gallant what’s not to like? I’m pretty sure John Green intended for all readers to fall in love with not only the book but the characters, too. Hazel is not a very lively person but it’s like Augustus gives her a real taste of life. I feel that everyone wants their very own Augustus Waters because he seems almost too perfect.
The reason to why he is my favorite character is that I feel that he brings out the best in Hazel and makes the story interesting. My favorite character in this story would definitely be Augustus. Throughout the story it shows the struggles people go through and the toll it can have on a relationship. The main conflict in the story is cancer vs. In Hazel’s words “His every syllable flirted.” Augustus’s adventurous spirit really brings Hazel out of her shell. Augustus on the other hand is dashingly handsome and very charismatic, even though in the past he has suffered from cancer. She’s not too optimistic about life and tends to only interact with her parents. Up until she meets Augustus a normal day for her consists of either sleeping late or taking her courses, watching reruns of America’s Next Top Model, and thinking of death constantly (which she says is a side effect of having cancer which is a side effect of dying). Hazel Grace is a 16 year old who has cancer more specifically thyroid with mets in her lungs. The two main characters of this book are Hazel Grace Lancaster and Augustus Waters. Hazel Grace and Augustus bond over this book and it ultimately brings them even closer. She considers the author her third best friend, yet she has never met him, but she has many unanswered questions about the book. An Imperial Affliction is a peculiar book that Hazel Grace re-reads constantly and feels that she can relate to completely. One time she happens to meet Augustus and their relationship blossoms from there. The reason these two teens meet is because of a cancer support group that Hazel attends weekly. While it is a story of young love, it is not your typical love story. This book tells the journey of Hazel Grace and Augustus.
This particular book was #1 on New York Times bestseller list. The Fault in Our Stars is currently being made into a movie. Printz Award, has had a book make it onto Top 10 Best Book for Young Adults, and has written five books and counting. This fantastic piece of literature was written by John Green. For my independent book I choose to read the critically acclaimed The Fault in Our Stars.
