Reading? I guess so.... Well, it was the month of Ramadhan. I feel guilty if I use all the gadgets to do other things than read the Quran. Then, when Ramadhan was over, I was busy trying to finish reading the books that I bought before but have to lay still on the shelves waiting for me to explore. So one of the books I got to finish reading was this best seller 'The Fault in Our Stars'.
I don't read fiction much because well, they being fictionous. I fancy real stuff. As real as biography. But eversince I registered my Instagram account, I couldn't resist but to read most popular books shared by the instagramers. And of course, The Fault in Our Stars appears almost everyday in #books and its hashtag families.
It took me very quick to finish this book obviously because of the intresting story line. Language used is also light and easy. The characters potrayed, (being fictionous) seemed close. Maybe because I am a teacher and teens are somehow close to me naturally.
Prior to reading it, I thought the story is about dying. But it is not. It's about love. So beautiful and yet so simple although it seems quite impossible. But that is what fiction takes on you. It is also about fighting. Hazel Grace and Agustus Walters fought in their own way admiringly.
It is a sad story but is not melancholic as potrayed in instagram. I guess because it is a story for teens. It is a story about teens. People also said that the ending is a spoilt. I couldn't agree more. Nevertheless, it is a beautiful story. A must read.
P/S : I didn't get the chance to catch the movie though.
