Looking For Alaska

  Looking For Alaska, by John Green

Miles Halter is fascinated by famous last words–and tired of his safe life at home. He leaves for boarding school to seek what the dying poet Francois Rabelais called the “Great Perhaps.” Much awaits Miles at Culver Creek, including Alaska Young. Clever, funny, screwed-up, and dead sexy, Alaska will pull Miles into her labyrinth and catapult him into the Great Perhaps.

The title is so deceiving! I had an idea in my head as to what the storyline would be, needless to say I was completely wrong... This book is just absolutely fabulous, it's by far the best out of the John Green books I've read. So many emotions!

It's hard to find the specific reasons as to why I found this book so enjoyable, just everything together made it what it is, and what that is an incredible story. The characters weren't perfect, but that's why I liked them, they were real. They had their issues and their flaws, but that's what made it good. Most books have a lovely story line with some perfect characters, but it's the ones that have their flaws, that aren't perfect that are much more interesting and they are much more relatable. 

Please, if you haven't read this book already go out and read it, then share it with everyone you know because everyone needs to experience the magnificence of this book!
