The Fault In Our Stars//Book Review

Rating: 5/5
Genre: Fiction, Young Adult

‘The Fault In Our Stars’ is a classic John Green book that revolves around Hazel Grace Lancaster, a terminally sick lung cancer patient. She spends her free time reading ‘An Imperial Affliction’ over and over again. One of her only dreams in life is to meet Peter Van Houten, the author of AIA who lives in Amsterdam and refuses to answer her emails and letters.

Her parents force her to attend the Cancer Support Group, where she meets Augustus Waters, an Osteosarcoma survivor. They fall in love with each other. Augustus loves Hazel and decides to use his only Wish to take Hazel to Amsterdam. This is a horrible summary of the first half of the book and, since I do not want to give any spoilers, you will have read the book to know what happens next.

John Green has a distinctive writing style, which has a reader hooked to every word, even though he writes exceedingly plainly, without any heavy or fat words.
The book is a heart-wrenching piece of literature that portrays the ultimate truth about love and life. Personally, I believe that every girl deserves to have an Augustus in her life.

I am Malala// Book Review

Genre: Autobiography

Rating: 4/5

‘I am Malala’ is a book that chronicles the journey of Malala Yousufzai from being the daughter of her parents to becoming the daughter of the whole of Pakistan- and beyond. Gathering inspiration from her father and standing up against the Taliban, she became an overnight fame. But the bullet of a Clot 45, the bullet that forced her to leave Swat, her hometown, and seek refuge all the way in Birmingham was what brought the story of this small-town girl to the world.

The book is an easy-going, yet hard-hitting piece of literature that keeps you hooked right from the first page, all the way to the last. The book is not only full of her more-than-a-few heroic moments, but with the simple pleasures like playing cricket with cousins, playing host to innumerable guests, and fangirling over Twilight, that one enjoys in life.

Personally, I am a big fan of hers. Malala is an inspiration for many young girls, ready to spread their wings and fly into the boundless sky of success.
