    Tittle of the book: Under the dame star

    Author:.John Green

    Released date: June 6,2014

    Category:Drama,Romance

    What is it about?Hazel likes to read pretentious books and


    watch junk TV, read poetry and sleep (plus she has the
    excuse that it's good for cancer) and she would like her
    lungs to function like normal lungs. Her mother thinks
    she's depressed, so she starts going to a support group
    every Wednesday. Although, in reality, there is nothing
    more depressing than a group in which each day the list of
    companions to pray for is longer. The very day he met
    Augustus Waters was the day he almost managed to slip
    away to watch an America’s Next Top Model marathon.

    The first thing he thought of Augustus Waters, why deny


    it, was that he was very handsome. Although with a
    personality as overwhelming as his, his physique soon
    took a back seat. He is charismatic, talkative, funny, likes
    metaphors and philosophizing, and always seems to know
    what to say. I was in the support group accompanying a
    friend, even though he too had had cancer. Hazel read
    Augustus's favorite book, Augustus read Hazel's favorite
    book, and the rest, as they say, is history. Although in this
    case it is a story as peculiar as its protagonists, which
    starts when Gus tries to locate the author of Hazel's
    favorite book and continues while both try to ignore the
    ghost of his illness.

    We are not going to fool you: Under the Same Star is a


    book about cancer, because all its characters suffer the
    disease directly or indirectly, but it is not a "book about
    cancer", because it does not fall into the topics of the
    genre. It is a book with which you laugh more than you
    cry, that makes you reflect more on life than on death, that
    does not idealize the disease or glorify its victims, that
    does not delve into bad times and at the same time is
    deeply moving .
