Staff Reviews

“John Green is ridiculously good. Looking for Alaska is his first book, and people shouldn’t be allowed to write this well when they’re just starting out. He finds this way to make characters engaging in a way that makes you care about these people even though they’re teens (I didn’t even like teenagers when I was one!) With this book in particular, I love the way that its structured with a mysterious countdown at the top of every chapter. You’re just sitting in anticipation to find out what big thing is going to happen that changes this kid’s life forever.”

Description

Before. Miles Pudge Halter is done with his safe life at home. His whole life has been one big non-event, and his obsession with famous last words has only made him crave the Great Perhaps even more (Francois Rabelais, poet). He heads off to the sometimes crazy and anything-but-boring world of Culver Creek Boarding School, and his life becomes the opposite of safe. Because down the hall is Alaska Young. The gorgeous, clever, funny, sexy, self-destructive, screwed up, and utterly fascinating Alaska Young. She is an event unto herself. She pulls Pudge into her world, launches him into the Great Perhaps, and steals his heart. Then. . . .


After. Nothing is ever the same.
