Everyone has those books they love, the ones that make the laugh, cry and want to shout from the rooftops simultaneously. This book is definitely one of them.
The Fault In Our Stars is a tale of a young girl named Hazel and a boy named Gus. It might sound like the everyday love stories we read but the two lovers are actually teens with cancer. It doesn't sound like a book that will fill you with all the emotions I described but when it has sold millions of copies there must be something special about it.
The Fault In Our Stars has risen to be one of the best selling books of the past few years, hitting number 1 on most bestseller charts and making the author John Green the voice of this generations young adult fiction. Something that I would have to agree with.
I could rave about this book for weeks, but I would probably bore you or I would spoil the story for you. Neither of which is nice really. But I will say this book is up there in my top 5, and has been since the moment I picked it up in 2012 (yep, that's how long it's been out for!).
Not only is the book fantastic, next month it will be released as a film. Featuring Shailene Woodley and Ansel Elgort as Hazel and Gus, the trailer is the highest viewed trailer on YouTube and will make you cry (it made me bawl!)
If you haven't guessed I am a massive John Green fan, a self confessed nerdfighter (Green and his brother Hank have a series of Vlogs and channels, most notably Vlogbrothers) and someone that persuades people to read his books on a daily basis. That's why I'm doing this giveaway. I've not been sent the book to giveaway, nor have I been paid for this praise.
So up for grabs, one RED (yes red, this is limited edition) SIGNED (oh yeah it's a signed book!) clothbound copy of The Fault In Our Stars for one of you lucky readers to devour before the film is released.

This book sounds incredible! I love a book that can move me, one of my favourite books is Lisa Genova's Still Alice which tackles early on set alzheimer's it is heart breaking but incredible and from your post I get the feeling this one would be the same. Plus a signed book! Wow! how cool is that! :) I have my fingers crossed xxx
ReplyDeleteI love reading and love to experience books from authors I haven't tried before. This book sounds like a great read.
ReplyDeleteThis book is so special to me, i've read it so many times and a signed copy would mean so much. I've never read a story that made me smile as much as it made me cry, John Green really does capture the true magic of reading, i always find myself escaping into his world, ready to face my own :') I really hope i win :)))
ReplyDeleteI so want to read this! All of my friends love it!
ReplyDeleteI would love to read this book because we all take so much for granted in life & when something like Cancer hits us or someone we know life seems so much different & what seemed important before really is not important.
ReplyDeleteMost favourite book ever!!!
ReplyDeleteGod did I cry reading this book ... its like an emotional rollercoaster... one of his best .... would highly recommend reading the diary of the girl that inspired Green to write the book. Don't forget the film is out on the 20th June ... fingers crossed it lives up to expectation!!!
ReplyDeleteIt's out on the 19th now!!! So excited! Don't you worry, I've poured over the pages of this star won't go out! Xxx
