Our opposites stars (Paperback)

Customer Review

I began this book PIC after reading some reviews on various blogs. But I did not expect such a jewel. Theme The approach is perfect and impeccable style.
I thought quun book that tackles a difficult subject that illness and death in children, easily opened the way to emotion or pathos. Well John Green has succeeded to make something beautiful, strong and above all deeply "living." Everything is there to make us want to personally know Hazel and Augustus, dexception these beings that we adults teach us to the joys of life, the disappointments, friendship and even love.
One could speak of courage too, but the two heroes would not agree. They find no courage to fight an evil that has made their own bodies and hosts. What a slap! The approach of the disease is almost here taken lightly, we sen fun, as we talk of a near permanent presence. It can only be touched to see these children talk about their cancer. The tone is suited dailleurs, depending that they speak with their family or with their friends sick too. With the first this is more about a resigned tone, with others this is more caustic.
This is the strength of this book for me is that John Green nessaie not pull us tears throughout history. I even sometimes mouse, yes, with the tone dHazel lorsquelle explains how cancer invades a body by bit to know sil laimera and when this is the case if lapproprie whole or lorsquAugustus keeps his eternal good humor and his devastating charm despite everything, and when Hazel explains them cancerous, are fed BE "catalog" constantly in the cancer category and speaks of the young cancer patient who chose to create an association for the Aid of dune sick any disease just to show that their disease is not their personality.
But cancer this is also "others". Our two heroes suffer more to see their loved ones who have to "get used" to their next departure. When? What? It is a sword of Damocles constantly over their heads. I was very excited to take the pain of parents Hazel and Augustus powerless against this fatal and inevitable fate. And we say that in this case the parents are dHazel a real example to follow as their courage (for once they have many) and their love for their child are real supporting elements for the patient.
What a lesson! This is on this point that this story is also useful and intelligent. Quattendent of us parents, the sick children who are leaving us prematurely? How consider? As the sick? The dying? Should we infuse them the strength to fight the disease? Or live with?
I cried too, so the tears of emotions as a book rarely men managed to run because this horrible disease as this is the time of hope WHEN IT there has small periods of remission but also times when everything sécroule, and here without saying more, tragic events happen abruptly as this disease has the gift to.
Our stars opposites is one of those books that mark you, who can not leave anyone indifferent. Discover Hazel and Augustus, their families and friends. It's a real stroke of heart!
