Looking for Alaska

Looking for Alaska
John Green
Speak/ Penguin

Miles is not a cool kid, he doesn't have friends at his Florida high school he doesn't even really have people that pretend to be his friend. Which is why he has decided to attend his fathers boarding school in Alabama. "The Great Perhaps," is the driving force in Miles' brave leap but once he gets to Alabama he is suddenly not sure that he is up to it. Culver Creek Boarding School throws Miles a neurotic roommate: the Colonial, and Alaska: a self-destructive girl that Miles or better named, Pudge, is smitten with. The new school gives all that Pudge had hoped it would: friends, adventures and even a little romance but so much more than he was ready for.

Personal Review
Looking for Alaska will twist your insides with apprehension and adoration. I immediately fell in love with Pudge and his strange but endearing group of new friends. John Green again with his nerdy but charming characters will make you wish that you were part of Culver Creek Boarding school. Alaska is easily the most dynamic character that he has ever written,she is caring and vulnerable one moment then destructive and insane the next.

Warning: Lots of strong language and crude humor, vivid sexual content and adult problems.
