Title : Looking for Alaska
Author: John Green
Genre: Romantic and tragic
Blurb:
Miles Halter is a shy teenager who transfers to Culver Creek
Boarding School, in search of the “Great Perhaps”. His roommate Chip “the
Colonel” Martin takes Miles under his wing, nicknames him Pudge, and introduces
him to smoking, drinking, pranks, and Alaska Young. Alaska is beautiful,
witty, moody, and self-destructive girl , and Pudge is fascinated with
her. When some of the weekday warriors drag Pudge out of his bed, mummify
him in duct tape and throw him in the lake, the Colonel vows to have revenge.
The weekday warriors dunked Pudge because they believe that the Colonel ratted
out Paul and Marya, two students who were expelled the previous year for
drinking, smoking and other things. I
don’t want to ruin anything for you readers. Enjoy reading this book!
Personal Opinion:
What I really liked about this book is that
there were some parts which I was not expecting. It did eventually have some
twists and turns. I really like it for another reason, for learning about the
experiences of students going to a boarding school.
I recommend this book to people who like
sad and moving stories.
Level:
4eme and over.
I rate this book 5 stars because it is just
amazing and John Green is just an amazing writer.
