The Fault in Our Stars, by John Green: ★★★★★
-This book is witty, humorous, and gives an interesting perspective on life from two cancer patients who are madly in love. Think the Romeo and Juliet of oncology.
Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini ★★★★★
-Kite Runner explores the meanings of friendship, trust, and betrayal through the view of Amir, who lives in Afghanistan.
My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult ★★★★ (yes, I know, it's four stars, but I loved it.)
-What is 'right' and what is 'wrong?' Anna and Kate, sisters who are connected by an internal bond -- literally -- are thrown into an interesting predicament when Anna sues her parents.
The Book Thief by Markus Zusak ★★★★★
-This book will make one laugh and cry as Liesel, orphaned, begins to live with Rosa and Hans. As Germans they should have nothing to worry about as the Holocaust sweeps Europe. However, it's different as they begin to house Max, a Jew, in their basement.
