Reviews for This Star Won't Go Out
Just so you can't say we didn't warn you, This Star Won't Go
Out will make you sob (unless you don't have a soul). But it
will also make you smile, as one of those rare books that will
change the way you look at the world. The true story of Esther,
a teen with cancer, this book is a compilation of her essays, short
fiction, journal entries and family photos. You might not expect a
16-year-old with a terminal illness to be funny, but Esther is
cleverly so while eschewing bitterness. Author John Green got to
know Esther after meeting her at a Harry Potter convention, and
they formed a meaningful friendship. So meaningful, in fact, that
he dedicated The Fault in Our Stars to her and wrote the foreword
to this book. Just released, This Star Won't Go Out is one
book that will stick with you long after you finish it.
