Review: The Fault In Our Stars

Heey,

This is the start of my review series. I wanted to start with something big. Something iconic. Something I love. The Fault In Our Stars. The book, written by John Green, who in my opinion should be made into a saint, was described as 'Electric...filled with staccato bursts of humor and tragedy.' - Jodi Picoult. The book is also a #1 New York Times Bestseller.

The film was released in America on the 6th of June and was extremely popular. It is officially being released in the UK on the 19th of June however, a week before the official release date, selected cinemas were showing a special preview with a Q&A as an extended part of the film. Viewers had to pay more for the ticket but were given a lanyard with Fan Screening Pass and an A2 poster. I was lucky enough to get tickets to this viewing. I went with my friend Amber, who was beyond excited about the whole thing.

The film was very true to the book and that's all I'm going to say about what happens because I don't want to spoil anything for the people who haven't read it yet, that's probably about 3% of the universe (it should be anyway). However I will say that Hazel Grace Lancaster and Augustus Waters were played extremely well by Ansel Elgort and Shailene Woodley.

As I said I saw the film when it had the fan screening event and because I loved it so much, I saw it again when it came out, fully. The first time I watched it I cried at the end but some people, cried all the way through *coughAmbercough*. The second time, I knew exactly how it was going to be and I didn't cry at all but got a bit teary. The second time I again, went with Amber but Zoe joined us as well and I was next next to them both just crying for 2 hours. Very embarrassing.

Overall I would say that the book is better than the film but only by a fraction because the film was  the best I have seen in a long time. It's rated a 12A and has slight swearing in it but I would say the audience is for anyone around the ages of 13-20 but obviously anyone can enjoy it and probably would!

I give The Fault In Our Stars 10/10

I hope you enjoyed today's post, it was sightly late but I hope you don't mind. I will be posting tomorrow because I have an exciting day planned so it will mainly be pictures.

Hugs and Kisses,
