I had never thought about the impact "The Fault is Our Stars" would hold had it been told through the perspective of another character. When asked whose perspective he would have chosen, second to Hazel's, the author of the novel, John Green, picked, of all characters, Isaac. This intrigued me, as, though Isaac is an essential character to the novel, besides just providing an introduction of Hazel to Augustus, he gives the novel more depth, I could not see the novel being told from his perspective. There are so many intense circumstances that Isaac experiences, such as the ending of his relationship followed by his loss of eye sight, that I can't imagine his perspective of the situation would hold the same impact as Hazel's. Green's choice to tell the story from Hazel's point-of-view was perfect for the narration that occurs in the novel and I wouldn't have recommended he do it any other way. Though, if I had to chose a different character to hear the story from, I think I would choose Hazel's mother. Present when most of the events happen, her mother would have an entire different outlook on the situation, and I think the contrast of their perspectives would be really interesting.
