A profound, emotional, and thought-provoking read, Looking for Alaska will resonate with me long after I finish reading it. It is a young adult novel that asks profound questions that make the reader think, creating great sympathy and empathy for its colorful cast of characters.
I hesitate to go into plot details for fear of spoiling anything. Looking for Alaska tells the story of a young man, Miles, during his first year away at a private school. He meets several new classmates, including a free-spirited young woman named Alaska. The journey these two – and many others – take during their first year together is one I won’t soon forget.
I highly recommend Looking for Alaska. Author John Green has created a masterful piece of young adult fiction worthy of anyone’s time.
