This was a great book. I loved the characters' personalities. Alaska was such a unique person. I thought After was going to be something good, but I bawled my eyes out at what really happened. But the character's worked together to figure out why it happened, and I thought that was good, that they had closure. Great book.
After reading John Green's book The Fault in Our Stars, I had high hopes for this book but found quickly that it was not as poignant as his other book. Still a good read, particularly if you fit into the young adult readership category, but was lacking in a certain depth that I had found in The Fault in Our Stars.
main character so boring i didnt make it to even half sorry
John Greene is becoming one of my favorite authors, and he writes beautifully about teenage angst and the millenials sharp wit. I have a child in this age group and work on a college campus, so his dialogue has a ring of truth to it. He can write about unrequited love and experiencing death like no one else.
_ I'm the only person it seems who cannot get behind ridiculously self aware teenagers. Also, the whole, she's crazy but it's ok because she's super hot.

Miles Hunter is fascinated by last words. He goes out of his way to remember people's last words. When he leaves for boarding school while looking for the meaning of the "Great Perhaps" that a dying poet talked about as he was dying. There he meets Alaska, a screwed up, but very pretty girl he starts to like. She pulls him into the labyrinth of life and pushes him into the never-ending "Great Perhaps."
I did not enjoy this book because first of all, it was very confusing and I just didn't like the storyline of the book. The characters were good, and I definitely saw some character changes throughout the book but the storyline just wasn't interesting enough to captivate me.
