“All efforts to keep me from you are going to fail,” he promises her. He wants to live an extraordinary life and so he relentlessly pursues Hazel to be his girlfriend. The teen has a thing for grand gestures, and he acts like a romantic hero to Hazel, hoping he can be her knight in shining armor. Meanwhile, Augustus’ favorite series of books is a rousing, bloody trilogy of fantasy novels, with characters that are brave, daring and whose theatrical speeches and glorious moments of splendor he hopes to achieve. Hazel sees something in her future, boldly staring into it without much feeling for sentimentalizing her condition. The end of the novel enchanted her, since it halts in the middle of a sentence, a sign that the sick narrator either died or was too ill to continue. It is a long, dreary read about a young woman dying of cancer, the evocative prose reflecting Hazel’s experience so much that it turns into the singular work she covets. Hazel’s novel of choice, which she has read so many times it is strange to find she has a bookshelf in her room with other texts, is An Imperial Affliction. You can learn much about Hazel and Augustus from the books they read.

Augustus likes Hazel, which disarms the teen as she is not used to flirting with boys her age. His name is Augustus Waters (Ansel Elgort), a cute boy wish a buffoonish smile and almond hair who has recovered from osteosarcoma – although it took his right leg and he wears a prosthetic. While not exactly a magnet for other teens her age, she finds a close friend in a support group for young cancer patients. Hazel is a bemused teen who lugs around a portable oxygen tank to support her breathing. The result is an engaging, well-acted drama that unfortunately, lacks a backbone, as well as a personality. Unfortunately, the long-awaited adaptation of John Green’s exceptionally moving 2012 bestseller, fights between keeping it real and developing that sweet tooth. There is a way to tell sad stories, narrates Hazel Grace Lancaster, a college student with terminal cancer played by Shailene Woodley, at the start of The Fault in Our Stars.
