This novel is about a 17-year-old boy named Miles,who leaves his family in Florida to go to a boarding school in Arizona to search for a "Great Perhaps.' At the school, he meets a Alaska Young, who he is immediately infatuated with. What I find interesting is that Alaska, although not the protagonist, seems like a more round character than Miles. She seems a lot more developed and I can already see the many sides she has to her.So, do I like it? I'm not sure yet. It's a toss up, because finding out more and more about Alaska is what I find myself looking forward to every time I open this book, but so far, that's really it. No major events have happened that have propelled the plot so far, and I don't even know what the real conflict is yet. And being 55 pages into the book, I'm really hoping for some sort of twist! Otherwise, I'll be really disappointed with John Green this time. (No offence, John. You're still amazing.)
Have any of you read Looking for Alaska? If so, tell me your thoughts on it!... without spoilers of course. :)
John Green is one of my favorite authors as well! And I did happen to read Looking for Alaska. I would give this book a 4/5 stars! Be prepared to never wanting to put this book down, you'll probably feel some excitement, sadness and a little anger reading this book. However, it's so rewarding in the end. I hope you enjoy this book as much as I did (-:
ReplyDeleteHi Yana! I soo want to read this book because you gotta love John Green, but the stack of books I have to read right now keeps growing and I haven't had ANY time with marching band. Tell me if you like it or if it disappoints, because I'm planning on reading this as soon as I actually have time. Thanks!
