First drink. First prank. First friend. First love. Last words. 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 François Rabelais called the "Great Perhaps." Much awaits Miles at Culver Creek, including Alaska Young, who will pull Miles into her labyrinth and catapult him into the Great Perhaps.
Between 4−5 stars rating, 23 April 2013I'm a fan of J. Green's work and I think this one is the best young adult novel he ever wrote. 'Looking For Alaska' is, honestly, just like TFIOS, tragically funny on its own way. I love how sly Alaska and how reckless Pudge is. This is absolutely a representative to youth life nowadays.
