The Fault In Our Stars.

So I finally gave in to the hype. 


I saw that a friend was reading 'A Fault in our Stars' earlier this week and it reminded me that I'd been meaning to read it. I asked her if she was enjoying it and she eagerly responded that she was and I should definitely read it.

A second friend, known well for the fact that she never reads then walks into the common room holding a Waterstone's bag. She'd gone out to buy both 'The Fault in our Stars' and 'Looking for Alaska', because the first friend already had a waiting list of people to borrow both of these books and she just couldn't wait.

So I decided to join the second friend's waiting list.

Bearing in mind that this friend that does not read managed to finish the entire book within two days. I was shocked.

I acquired the book yesterday morning. And five hours of reading later, I had finished it.

So now I'm on the waiting list for 'Looking for Alaska', which I should get on Monday.

The point of this whole story is that, despite the fact that its a hype-book like twilight or fifty shades or the hunger games, it isn't the same, because its a book that is actually well written, and actually means something.

So the moral of the story here is to read 'The Fault in our Stars', because you will love it, I promise.
