Looking for Alaska, by John Green

amdeboer's review against another edition

5.0

This book is solid. It's entertaining but it makes you think. I enjoyed the friendships in it. I must admit though, I wouldn't mind a companion novel to this that tells us the story from Alaska's POV. She's such an interesting character but I'd love to be inside her head and know more about her, beginning to end.

Probably not the best written book ever but it changed my perspective on life so was very pivotal to my growth as a human.

Incredibly touching. While I don't enjoy John Green's writing style, his stories stick with me. This one in particular hit close to home.
