    candyexpressliked a comment in The Events That Led To The U.S. Airstrikes In Syria.
    that is sick. So many people died, and most or all ( I don't know) were innocent. it is like living in a country where your own president is out to kill innocent people for wanting to leave their country. it is a good thing that president Trump showed Syria's president, Bashar al-Assad that the rest of the world has the right to try to stop war, to try to make the world a better place. Even if it leads to war, it will show the world that we are not afraid to do the right thing, even if it means that we will get hurt. we hope for a better future.

    I would love to win this book because it seems to be a very interesting read (basing it off of the sample).

    candyexpress's book review was featured in The Fault in Our Stars.
    This was just an amazing book. Words just can't begin to describe how deeply the words on the page drove into my heart. The craft of John Green was something I fell in love with, and his ability to shape the words into just what he wanted giving the reader a better image was thrilling. The characters seemed so real. Everything realistic, beautiful, crystal clear. I found myself falling head over heals for so many characters in just pages of getting to know them. When their hearts ached and they cried, I found myself doing the same. But what I love about this book is that it's not trying to hide the pain of death from the reader, you. John Green doesn't choose to neglect the truth that people die, people leave, we move on. He didn't choose to ignore it and simply write a sappy fairy tale where everything goes "right." He addressed it head on, and lets us know through his characters that it's possible to get over deaths. He let's us know that when somebody we love leaves us, we are not alone suffering through this stage of mourning. Another thing I fell in love with this book were the philosophical meanings behind each chapter, each page, paragraph, sentence, word. Everything had a meaning. "The real heroes anyways aren't the people doing things; the real heroes are the people NOTICING things, paying attention." -The Fault in Our Stars, John Green
