Synopsis
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. Looking for Alaska brilliantly chronicles the indelible impact one life can have on another. A stunning debut, it marks John Green's arrival as an important new voice in contemporary fiction.
Reviews
While not what I would call a potential classic or a great piece of literature, this book is absolutely captivating and a very fun read. It is a bit of an emotional roller-coaster, so be ready for that. But if you are looking for something that will be worth your time and leave you with a few things to think about this is a very good choice.
