Looking For Alaska was written by John Green. He has won multiple awards and is the co-creator of the the popular video blog Brotherhood 2.0. He studied in Indian Springs School outside of Alabama.

Looking for Alaska book review 


Miles Halter is the main promoter of the story who lives in Florida. He's not a social person and is in hunt of his “ Great maybe ”. So Miles decides to attend the Culver Creek Boarding School in Alabama to start a fresh life. There he makes his first friend Chip, known as “ the Colonel ” by all. He nicknamed Miles as “ Pudge ” and called him with the same name throughout the book. The Colonel introduces him to his friend, Alaska, who was a fierce and mysterious girl. Miles incontinently falls in love with her. All of them are also involves in colorful capriccios and mishappenings and also BAM! There's the unanticipatedmid-way surprise. I'm not telling what that middle thing is( for the sake of spoilers) but that event divides the book into two part. One Before and one After that event. 
 
 The Before part is filled with a lot of high academy events, the structure of relations, the capriccios that pupil plays and all. Yes, the typical high- academy terrain has been explained. The After part describes what happens after that woeful event, how the verity unfolds and how the lives of everyone involved changes. The Before part is kind of happier while the later is the one with lots of anguish and heartache. 
The stylish thing about Looking for Alaska is that it does n’t feel like it’s a debut novel of John Green. It has so much more retired effects to say also the words can explain. John green has surely shown his stylish raw gift in this and proving that you can literally crop like a different person after you finish his book. It's a gripping tale. It isn't a typical boy- meets- girl- cascade- in- love- also-separate kind of story. It's a tale of true fellowship, the effect of love, the craving for survival, the void in a relationship. 
 
 The story is further about Miles also about Alaska( as the title may confuse). The center point for both of them is looking for “ maze". I actually did n’t know about this word at the morning but also it was used so numerous times in the book that it made itself clear. A unique thing that John Green has put as the hobbyhorse of Miles is “ flashing back the last lines of notorious persons". I was like, why would anyone like to flash back that? But surely, after reading numerous similar rulings in the book it surely made me interested in those last lines. 
" Thomas Edison’s last words were “ It’s veritably beautiful over there ”. I do n’t know where there is, but I believe it’s nearly, and I hope it’s beautiful. ”" 
 
 The only problem that I had with this story was its ending. I felt like cheated. No seriously I wanted it to end rightly and to know the verity. But I suppose, the valid point in its favour can be that John wanted to suppose the compendiums about it? 
All the characters that are mentioned feel like in real life. There are no inelegant bones
 , not indeed Alaska( though girls are generally shown as inelegant). I liked how the character of Alaska was made mysterious. And the fact is we frequently come across similar characters in our lives too, who are mysterious in their own ways. The jotting was typical John Green style – easy and flowing. And the stylish effects is the beautiful quotations that he writes, which always make me love his work more. 
 
" I may die youthful, but at least I ’ll die smart." 

Looking for Alaska quotes

"You spend your whole life stuck in
the labyrinth, thinking about how
you'll escape one day, and how
awesome it will be, and imagining that
future keeps you going, but you never
do it. You just use the future to escape
the present."

- John Green, Looking for Alaska

Looking for Alaska quotes 


I was gawky and she was
gorgeous and I was hopelessly
boring and she was endlessly
fascinating. So I walked back
to my room and collapsed on
the bottom bunk, thinking that
if people were rain, I was
drizzle and she was hurricane.

"I've always liked quiet people: You
never know if they're dancing in a
daydream or if they're carrying the
weight of the world."
