Another bestselling novel by John Green is The Fault in Our Stars.  This novel is about a girl named Hazel Grace and her experiences living with cancer.  Living with cancer is not a life of luxury, it is one of the hardest lives to live--to know that you are dying.  This is a concept that a lot of people could not handle very well.  However, Hazel is a young adult girl who is handling this situational well.  Some of my responses from adults involve the young adults being labeled as hormonal.  Hazel is seen within this novel as maintaining more emotional control than her parents, given her particular situation.  Like Paper Towns, this book also looks to defy the stereotypes that exist within the young adult society.  Augustus Waters, one of the main characters of the story, was once a great basketball player, but because of cancer, he lost one of his legs.  He is now no longer considered athletic, but instead of emphasizing his past, a character is actually seen as destroying his basketball trophies; thus, the destruction of his trophies is deemphasizing his athletic career.  The book chooses to focus on Augustus's intellect and passion for life; these attributes are easily overlooked in young adult society.
