Title : Looking for Alaska
Author : John Green
Series : N/A
Rating : 2 Stars
Blurb :Miles “Pudge” Halter’s whole existence has been one big nonevent, and his obsession with famous last words has only made him crave the “Great Perhaps” (François Rabelais, poet) even more. He heads off to the sometimes crazy, possibly unstable, 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, who is an event unto herself. She pulls Pudge into her world, launches him into the Great Perhaps, and steals his heart.
Review :
I wasn’t really sure if I should publish a review on a book I gave 2 stars to. But then I thought that we promised to give honest, but still fair reviews which is what I am going to do right now. When some friends of mine recommended this book to me I was exited to see what story John Green has created after I have read “The Fault in our Stars”. So I started to read..
I started to read and couldn’t really identify with the characters at all which made it really difficult to read the story. There were moments while reading at which I thought “Ok, there it is! ” which at the end lightened up the story, but still didn’t made me say “OH YES, I want to know how it’s going on!”. The story the actual story wants to tell is awesome, without a doubt. I just really couldn’t connect with the way John Green tried to tell this story. There all this philosophical parts which really made me think -that’s the part I really liked. Even today, some days after I finished this book…. But at the end, I had to admit to myself that this book isn’t the right book for me at all.
