Product Description:
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.
Looking for Alaska brilliantly chronicles the indelible impact one life can have on another. A stunning debut, it marks John Green’s arrival as an important new voice in contemporary fiction.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Absolutely amazing.
This book is truly, truly, amazing. At first, it may seem a tad slow, but once you really get into it and start to learn more about the characters, it is obviously a very brilliantly written book. The plot surrounding Alaska's death is sad, as we get attached to her by the middle of the book, but also leaves room for extra enlightenment and growth by the main characters, namely Pudge and the Colonel. This book is absolutely magnificent, to say the least. I highly recommend it, it's definitely worth ... Read More
Rating: - A brilliant novel.
Thing I Liked Best About The Book: The relationship between the characters.
The relationship between all the characters were written so uniquely. Miles didn't act the same to every other character - the relationships between Miles and his classmates, parents, and teachers were all unique depending on what person you looked at.
Thing I Liked Least: Skipping of Weeks.
When I read, I don't really like it when books skip lots of days at one time. I can see how you would need to ... Read More
Rating:  - Alaska is a great place!
John Green really knows how to write a well-crafted, funny, entertaining, enlightening, schooled story.
Have I gotten all the adjectives down? "Alaska" was all of the above. It brought more to the table than I expected. Having read another of his books, "An Abundance of Katherines", I knew that "Alaska" was going to have many laughs, and many insights. It did not disappoint.
I totally picked up this book on a whim. I had never, previously, read any John Green books, and bought it based ... Read More
Rating: - Easily one of the best books I've ever read
Once I started this book, I couldn't put it down. This book is absolutely wonderful. It makes you think, and all of the emotions and thoughts that it cleverly provokes are so bittersweet- I will definitley be reading this book quite a few more times. It's a must-read.
Rating: - 5 stars
'Looking For Alaska' is by far the best book that I have ever read. It is very well put together and is very entertaining. I read it without putting it down once.
