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.
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.

Amazing book
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...
