"The Fault In Our Stars"

In the world of book adaptations, there are few examples of movies that can truly be compared to their fictional counterparts. Books are of curse more of a time commitment, however they definitely offer more details and they often give the readers the chance to view the world from a character or plot's perspectives. there is something about reading a book that is extremely intimate whereas a movie screening is not.

The fault in our stars is obviously an intimate read, but the director Josh Boone does  a wonderful job of bringing John Green's best selling novel to the screen. Instead of exploiting the book and make major changes, Boone recognised that Green is a witty writer. So he simply cut out the fat from the novel, removed some of the minor details, characterisations and back stories that would have been heavy for the theatrical audience catching the story for the first time. While those who have read Green's book since its release in 2012 might miss a few scenes, lines and sequences, Green's work is evident and mostly intact on the screen.
