It's there; the sense of things being real. Everything I have blogged about on The Fault in Our Stars is in the general idea of making it feel more "real". Real could be, you seeing happen, you have seen if happen, you could even imagine it happening. Or on your own playing field you relate to the topic or the character or situation. Even in fantasy or sci-fy novels its true, like you could relate to Tinkerbell for her sas and how just darn cute she is. Or you could relate to The Doctor because of his wits or good looks perhaps?
Though with the last page of The Fault in Our Stars turned and the cover shut, I just knew it was real, to me. With not just how the story was told in a real place with normal people characters, but how the story was written. With all the aspects of: dialogue, humor, character traits, diction, imagery and figurative language, format and reliability. Yet, these are just the points that I touched on through my blog posts not to mention: pace, syntax, chapter lengths, secondary characters, plot twists, an basically everything down to the period.
This was an amazing, existential crisis causing, book, that i enjoyed every moment reading. Every tear, every laugh, every flip of the page, every breath i took while reading this book was worth it. Do you know those books have have a personal affect on how you live your life? For me, this was the book, that changed me, without me realizing it til I reached the end.
For a shout out to the author, John Green, if he every find this small blog of mine; Thank you, for writing.
