Review - The Guilt of the Stars (John Green) 
What would your life be like if you discovered cancer? What would you invest your time in if you knew there were no more possibilities for healing, just to prolong your days to the fullest?
I think this is the reflection that John Green tries to put on "The Guilt Is Of The Stars".
Hazel Grace is a 16-year-old girl who lives with thyroid cancer since she was 13. Driven by her mother, Hazel attends a support group for teenagers with cancer, but remains oblivious to people. In her conception, having a "lifespan," she sees no reason to make new friends because she wants to minimize the number of people who may suffer when she leaves. In spite of the illness, Hazel does not act as a victim and maintain a good mood, preferring the company of books, movies and family.
The story changes when she meets Augustus Waters, a 17-year-old former basketball player who had one leg amputated because of osteosarcoma. Augustus believes above all things in life. Humorous, he does not let anyone judge him or feel sorry for him for what happened, is the foothold of friends and is always willing to improve the day of others.
Together, they fall in love and try to make the most of each day they spend together, after all, they can be scarce.
I saw so many people praising this book exhaustively, that it became a necessity to read, but I honestly did not love it all. It's too philosophical, so much so that in some places it just did not make sense. I even thought the love story of Hazel and Augustus was beautiful, but it was not so touching to me. I identified more with Hazel's connection with her parents, which ended up getting a bit sideways since it was not the main relationship in the story.
Another thing I did not understand is the idea that a person with cancer automatically becomes superior to others, smarter, those things. I found the construction of the characters forced. I mean, you have cancer, you buy cigarettes, but you do not light them, so show who's boss. But what? The sad thing for me is to see that many people have bought this idea as "ours that is incredible and intelligent". I also missed the friendship with people who did not have cancer. It seems that all those who do not go through the experience of the disease are insensitive or do not have time to "deal with patients".
I think in the end, it was really my fault. I expected so much from the book, I imagined that I would cry horrors (melted butter), but it did not happen. I even moved a little, but nothing worthy to hug the book and say to friends "you need to read this." I was frustrated, I felt that, once again, I was the victim of a very well-crafted marketing strategy.
I confess I was surprised in the end, it was a small turnaround in history, but still it seems that something was missing. It's a cute story, but that's all. I could not "live" the characters through Green's narration.
But, as I have said in several other reviews of mine: I do not discount the book. I think if you knew the story and were interested, you should read it. Everyone has different experiences, even if it's about the same book. So many people out there were thrilled and found the story wonderful, you could be one of them. I would say: go deep!
I, on the other hand, am now looking forward to the movie that is already in theaters. I really want to see you! Ever since I knew there was going to be an adaptation, I nurtured a hope that this time the story will conquer me. I hope that by seeing Hazel and Augustus in "person," things take on a new proportion, that the dialogues are improved and that finally some tears can roll. It will work. Yes you will!
