Book Review

Summary: Before. Miles “Pudge” Halter is done with his safe life at home. His whole life has been one big non-event, and his obsession with famous last words has only made him crave “the Great Perhaps” even more (Francois Rabelais, poet). He heads off to the sometimes crazy and anything-but-boring world of Culver Creek Boarding School, and his life becomes the opposite of safe. Because down the hall is Alaska Young. The gorgeous, clever, funny, sexy, self-destructive, screwed up, and utterly fascinating Alaska Young. She is an event unto herself. She pulls Pudge into her world, launches him into the Great Perhaps, and steals his heart. Then. . . . After. Nothing is ever the same.

Today I finished Looking for Alaska by John Green. This book was pretty depressing. The big climax happens in the middle of the book and the characters spend the rest of book finding their way to a new normal at the end. Still a very good read, I am loving John Green's writing style. This book would be good for anyone, but is geared mainly toward young adults.
