whereeveryoneisabookworm: The Fault In Our Stars by John Green SPOILER ALERT. “I shall say you will die and none will remember you” - Archibald MacLeish, Not Marble Nor the Gilden Monuments (also quoted in the book) How do I even begin writing this review? Well, first of all, my mother died a little over three weeks ago. And I guess that’s part of the reason I was greatly affected by this book. I hate preachy books about death. (Mitch Albom, ehem.) But this one is just so honest. Death is inevitable. There is no life after death (even if we all want to delude ourselves into believing that an afterlife exists). We will all fade into oblivion someday. And everything just seems useless. I know, “the meaning of life” is in every teenager’s (or adult’s) thoughts before sleeping (after fantasizing about their favorite actors and/or fictional characters, of course). And I know thinking about the inevitability of death is pretty useless since it is, well, inevitable, but this is just one of those things we can’t really help thinking about. This book tries to tackle that sensitive topic in a smart, honest and somewhat lighthearted way.  And no, my life wasn’t changed or transformed by this book. But it touched me. And at the end of the day, that’s what I look for in a book: its ability to touch something inside of me.  “I am,” he said. He was staring at me, and I could see the corners of his eyes crinkling. “I’m in love with you, and I’m not in the business of denying myself the simple pleasure of saying true things. I’m in love with you, and I know that love is just a shout into the void, and that oblivion is inevitable, and that we’re all doomed and that there will come a day when all our labor has been returned to dust, and I know the sun will swallow the only earth we’ll ever have, and I am in love with you.” Call me sappy and predictable, but I loved this line. My Rating: 4/5 My review for this book.
