"Despite
the tumor-shrinking medical miracle that has bought her a few years, Hazel has
never been anything but terminal, her final chapter inscribed upon diagnosis.
But when a gorgeous plot twist named Augustus Waters suddenly appears at Cancer
Kids Support Group, Hazel's story is about to be completely rewritten."
Review:
This was a
wonderfully written book. Even though it’s about two kids with cancer, their
wit and playful banter and of course all their inside jokes had me laughing
till my sides hurt. I loved every minute of it... except for the very
end, for reasons I'll let you experience for yourself. And to those who are
reading the book or in the middle of it, or, for future reference, those who
will read it, An Imperial Affliction is not a real book. I checked.
Update:
It's been a couple years since reading this book and the movie has been out for some time, so I think I need to update myself on this book. It was a good book and I laughed a lot, but all this hype of people talking about it STILL, is a bit much. People never stop talking about it and I've come to resent it a little. C'mon guys, the ending was so predictable and this book really doesn't stand out amongst other teenage love stories.
