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.
Oh my goodness!!!!! What else can I say about this book other than that absolutley nothing. I had really high expectations about this book and all those expectations were met. Looking for Alaska has changed the way a lot of people think of other people. It did the same for me. It is set up into two parts the Before and the After.
The writing was beautiful and the way it was only marked by days instead of chapters really added to the story. Getting more and mroe into the story you see more and more of the characters growing. Especially as Pudge and Alaska grow closer and closer as friends and possible after. The way John Green wrote the book when the After happend you start really think of the way you percieve people yourself. And the way it ended with no real wrap up to what happen in between the Before and the After your left to wonder what really happend.
