THE FAULT IN OUR STARS

The Fault in Our Stars is the sixth novel by American author John Green. The novel
tells the story of a sixteen year old cancer patient named Hazel, who is forced by her parents
to attend a support group, where she later meets and falls in love with seventeen year old
Augustus Waters, a former basketball player and amputee. The story takes place in
Indianapolis, Indiana, where a sixteen year old girl named Hazel Grace Lancaster has cancer,
but she is reluctant to attend a cancer patient support group.

At her mother's behest, she went to the support group. Due to cancer, he uses a
portable oxygen cylinder to breathe properly. During one of the support group meetings, he
made eye contact with a young man whose name turned out to be Augustus Waters. He was
there to support his friend Isaac. Isaac had a tumor in one eye that required surgery, leaving
him blind. After the meeting ended, Augustus approached Hazel and said she looked like
Natalie Portman in V for Vendetta. He invites Hazel over to his house for a movie while
discussing their experience with cancer. Hazel reveals she has thyroid cancer which has
spread to her lungs. Augustus had osteosarcoma, but he is now cancer free after having his
leg amputated. Before Augustus drives Hazel home, they agree to read each other's favorite
novels. Augustus lent Hazel a novel called The Price of Dawn, and Hazel recommended a
novel called An Imperial Affliction.

Hazel explains the power of An Imperial Affliction: This is a novel about a girl named
Anna who has cancer, and it's the only way she understands living with cancer that matches
her experience. He describes how the novel ends in the middle of a sentence in a very
annoying way, imagining the ending about the fate of the novel's characters. He speculates
about the novel's mysterious author, Peter Van Houten, who fled to Amsterdam after the
novel was published and has not been heard from since.

A week after Hazel and Augustus discuss the literary meaning of the content of An
Imperial Affliction, Augustus miraculously reveals that he has tracked down Van Houten's
assistant, Lidewij, and through Lidewij, Augustus has managed to start an email
correspondence with the reclusive Van Houten. He told Hazel the contents of Van Houten's
email, and Hazel made up a list of questions to send Van Houten, hoping to clear up the
novel's ambiguous conclusion. Hazel is most concerned about the fate of Anna's mother. He
thought that if Anna's mother survived her daughter's death, then her own parents would be
fine after Hazel died. Van Houten finally answered, saying he could only answer Hazel's
questions privately. He invited him to stop by if he was in Amsterdam.

Shortly after Augustus takes Hazel out for a picnic, it turns out she's planning an
elaborate Dutch-themed picnic where she reveals that a charitable foundation that grants
wish-fulfillment children with cancer has agreed to do so: he's taking two of them so they can
go to Amsterdam. to meet Van Houten. Hazel was happy, but when he touched her face she
had some reason to be hesitant. Over time she realized that she liked Augustus, but she knew
she would hurt Augustus when he died. He compared himself to a grenade.
