Description

Looking for Alaska is a bestselling romance novel by John Green.

Summary of the Book

When Miles Halter leaves his home for boarding school, he expects that he’ll find a change from the sedentary life he grew tired of. He takes the words of Francois Rabelais’ “the Great Perhaps” to heart, as well as the words of other great thinkers, and hopes to find something that will change his life. He has no idea how much of that change is about to come from a girl he is about to meet at Culver Creek. Alaska is a sprightly young girl, fascinating and smart. She draws him into her life and sets him on the course to finding Rabelais’ goal. She tears apart his inhibitions and steals his heart. Only then does he understand that once he ventured into the Great Perhaps, there’s no looking back.

Its Beautiful.

Nerdfighter Foreva.
Looking For Alaska is beautiful.Its a lovesong dedicated to youth, first love and friendship and also grief, pain,death and bereavement. Its a roller-coaster ride where one moment you're rolling in laughter over the pranks of the group and the next moment softly crying over Miles' loss. I can't recommend it enough.

Review of book.

It's a great coming of age story but it reminds me of The Perks Of Being A Wallflower maybe cuz all coming of age stories are somewhat similar. Green's writing remains wonderful as ever. He uses a countdown system in this book. The book starts with certain days before the climax and then days after the climax. His best book though is TFIOS and will always be. A good read as all Green books are.

Love and Loss

One of the few love stories i have read and the only one i have liked. John green truly captures the essence of true love, or friendship and of longing. His writing makes me feel the emotions of his characters; makes me love them for all their flaws. For their humanity. No vampire can touch this. My head swims while Miles' does. I feel Alaska's sense of loss. And i too long for the things that all of them do; for their sake as much as mine.

My fellow nerdfigters; you shall read a book that ...

Amazing book

John Green is brilliant. His writing is honest funny and brilliant. He writes exactly how teenagers feel and we can relate to it.
Miles is the narrator. He is obsessed with the last words of famous people [just like John Green is]. He falls head over heels for Alaska Young. She is in enigma to him. This book shows how Miles grows as a person and how he begins to see the world.
The book made me think a lot. What about my Great Perhaps? Am I noticing the world or simply seeing? It taught me a...

Best read but only once

After reading Fault in our stars by John Green, I had a lot of expectations from this book but well they werent met. The book is narrated beautifully but lacks the ambition and the passion which was needed. The ending was my favorite and I have to have to quote it:
"As Thomas Edison's last words were: Its beautiful over there. I don't know where there is, but I believe its somewhere and I hope its beautiful."
IRONY where I remember the last words of the book that is based on last words atl...
