The Fault in Our Stars

Author: John Green
Publisher: Dutton Books

Summary: Sixteen year old Hazel, who has cancer, meets Augustus at a kids-with-cancer support group and as they fall in love they both wonder how they will be remembered.
I know when I pick up a John Green book, that I should expect the unexpected.  Green is a master of the plot twist, and I can almost remember the exact page when I figured out what was going to happen.  When I figured out what was going to happen, I wanted to toss the book across the library, but I couldn't force myself to stop reading.  Cancer books are almost all the same, and John Green is able to take a "cancer book" and turn it into a moving novel that will appeal to all teens.
