LOOKING FOR ALASKA | BOOK REVIEW

Miles 'Pudge' Halter is an introvert, obssesd with last words, 'goes to seek a great perhaps' to Alabama and to attend Culver Creek boarding school for junior year. He meets his roommate, Chip 'The Colonel' Martin who is "build like scale model of Adonis". Pudge is introduced to Alaska Young, a girl living in a reckless world, in love with pranks, looking for a way out of labyrinth. "She loved mysterious so that she became one".

The best thing about the book is the quotes and how the feeling of the characters are described. Although the story becomes predictable at times and there is no 'major' conclusion at the end the story never feels dumb or boring or clichéd. It is full of freshness and John Green brings his uniqness of thoughts and ideas into this one also. The way he gives his main characters a nerdiness about a subject, and then wraps a beautiful story around it makes them feel like real people and not caricatures. It is one of best reads till date.

Rating: 4/5
