An imperial affliction is Hazel favorite book. The book is about a girl named Anna who lives in California and gets a blood cancer. There is a lot of drama scenes in that book with Anna’s cancer and her mother's romantic story with a Dutch man. The book ends right in the middle of a sentence. I was surprised that Hazel is so obsessed with the book and reads it million times, and she does not know the ending! Also she has many questions about Anna and other characters. That is really grabbed my attention because if I were her, I would be so mad that I spent a lot of time reading a book that has six hundred fifty-one pages with no ending. While I was reading, I was interested to know Hazel's explanation about loving a book with no ending. “ I understood the story ended because Anna died or got too sick to write and this mid sentence thing was supposed to reflect how life really ends and whatever,…” this is Hazel's explanation and she barley persuaded me. At the end, it was really interesting to know Hazel's perspective about her favorite book because now I know more about the main character's complicated personality.

My reaction:

Chapter 2 focuses on the two main characters Hazel and Augustus. What surprised me when I was reading yesterday is when Augustus talks with Hazel about basketball and the prizes he got. He said that most of the prizes are " cancer perks". people who give these prizes to kids with cancer think that these gifts will make them happy, but some kids might feel that they are different.

I really enjoyed the extensive reading in the class because it gives me the opportunity to do something I like which I cannot do at home because I don’t have time. The part I read was good, and there was something stuck in mind. There is a character in the story his name is “ Isaac” who is suffering from eye cancer. After several weeks he has to get eye surgery and will be totally blind! That makes me think about how his life will be after he becomes blind? And how he will spend these days before the surgery? Finally, I cannot wait until I continue reading to find answers to my questions!

I only read part of chapter one, so I cannot judge the book now. However, this part gives me a brief information about the main characters in the story. Also, I want to complete the first chapter to have a general introduction about the novel and know more about the characters.

Book choice for reading class

I would like to read "The Fault in Our Stars" by John Green. I chose this novel because the story seems very interesting!
