Making a blog about this book feels like a betrayal to the
author, to the readers and to this intellectually made piece of story. Being the
apathetic that I am, I did not by all means shed a single tear while reading
through the very rock bottom hard drama parts especially when Gus said he have
lit up meaning his cancer cells are now glowing like a Christmas tree lights,
its everywhere through his body, and I can’t believe it that I haven’t cried, even
when Augustus Waters died .
But, nonetheless it was a really good book, and the chance to
make a blog from it is unexceptional.
The book was narrated by Hazel Grace Lancaster a terminal
cancer teenage girl, who by the initiation of her mother made her to join a
support group where she met the staring gentleman Augustus Waters that by that
time got his legs amputated and was NEC (No Eminent Cancer). Still Hazel couldn’t
find anyone more attractive, charismatic and hotter in that support group other
than Augustus Waters who clearly is emanating those darling crooked smiles.
What I like about this book are the metaphors, the two
intellectually made characters and the story that just want to tell you that
life goes on, that some infinities are bigger than other infinities, that the
world is not a wish granting factory still God put’s the right persons in our
lives.
I have made one realization though, it’s a common awareness
that people with cancer are most likely dying, but who isn’t? We are all dying,
truth be told every day we are dying because that’s where all of us will go,
and because we are human and have a family to care, a world to see and someone
to love we are hoping to live a little longer.
…and by the way dear Mr. John Green if An Imperial
Affliction is a duly published book, I surely would love to read it. =)
