Rating: 87% (4.35 stars) ( ![]() I expected to like this book a lot more because I am a fan of John Green the thinker and John Green the human being, but the book just fell awfully flat. It was full of pumped-up, tedious contrivances that failed to lead anywhere as cataclysmic as they had seemed to promise they might. The book's very much just ok to me (even as a young adult book), but I'd still like for John Green to tell me how to live my life. Read this book in one sitting. This is the first book of Green's that I've read and wow. He really nails teenage angst. Wonderful coming of age story. Loved it. It’s good. The characters are well developed and the story is interesting. The decadence of youth is tangible in the portrayal of kids away from the watchful eye of parents, but you’d hope a boarding school would have more grip on the activities of students Listened to this while my daughter did - another "young adult" fiction covering a difficult subject. This one in the context of a boarding school in the south. I'm a sucker for these - really enjoyed it.
Miles Halter is a teenager from Florida who likes to read bibliographies and collect last words of famous people. He decided to go to Alabama to finish last two years of his high school education. Miles chooses Culver Creek Preparatory School. His parents are questioning if he decide to go to preparatory school to meet new people and change his boring life style. Miles instantly became a friend with his roommate Colonel who gave him a nick name Pudge. The Colonel is clever, proud, and financially poor. He is a born leader. Miles got introduced to Alaska Young. She gave his life a new dimension. Alaska is a beautiful, funny, intelligent, and rebellious. Miles falls for Alaska. She became a center of Miles universe. This book is made using a before and after counting element to build up a grand climax of events. It is an unusual, but effective way of presenting a story. It is a great read. Many teen topics are addressed here: smoking, alcohol consumption and consequences, meaning of life, friendship, belonging, religion, death and dying, grief, and healing. The author of Looking for Alaska, John Green, made me think about life and our attitude about it. A topic of depression got brought in with Alaska’s behavior. She gave out many times signs that she is suicidal. Her attitude about dying and her struggle with her mother’s passing away was never addressed in a productive way. Her depression was not taken seriously. Consequences are tragic and unbearable. Miles's narration is alive with sweet, self-deprecating humor, and his obvious struggle to tell the story truthfully adds to his believability.
