"Augustus Waters was a self-aggrandizing bastard. But we forgive him. We forgive him not because he had a heart as figuratively good as his real one sucked, or because he knew more about how to hold a cigarette than any nonsmoker in history, or because he got eighteen years when he should've got more."

"Seventeen," Gus corrected.

"I'm assuming you've got some time, you interrupting bastard," Isaac continued. "Augustus Waters talked so much that he'd interrupt you at his own funeral. And he was pretentious: Sweet Jesus Christ, that kid never took a piss without pondering the abundant metaphorical resonances of human waste production. And he was vain: I do not believe I have ever met a more physically attractive person who was more acutely aware of his own physical attractiveness." "But I will say this: When the scientists of the future show up at my house with robot eyes and they tell me to try them on, I will tell the scientists to screw off, because I do not want to see a world without him."

I was kind off crying by then.

It is so hard to leave—until you leave. And then it is the easiest goddamned thing in the world.

“Sometimes, you read a book and it fills you with this weird evangelical zeal, and you become convinced that the shattered world will never be put back together unless and until all living humans read the book.” - John Green, The Fault in Our Stars

Title: Looking for Alaska

Author: John Green

Genre: Contemporary YA

e-book

272 pages

⭐⭐⭐⭐/5

Before. Miles “Pudge” Halter is done with his safe life at home. His whole life has been one big non-event, and his obsession with famous last words has only made him crave “the Great Perhaps” even more . He heads off to the sometimes crazy 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, feminist, self-destructive, screwed up, and utterly fascinating Alaska Young. She is an event unto herself. She pulls Pudge into her world, launches him into the Great Perhaps, and steals his heart. Then. . . .

After. Nothing is ever the same.

Love, friendship,self discovery, first-time experiences, life, death, before, after, finding meaning in life and learning to forgive. That is what Looking for Alaska is all about

**Review:**

This is one of those stories that is so difficult to summarize/review.

''Looking for Alaska'' reminded me so much of ''The Perks of Being a Wallflower''. There was definitely the same vibe of boy goes to new school, boy is quiet, boy meets loud friends and boy falls in love.

This novel like most of John Green’s novels is terribly sad. It was painful to go through the second part of the book the #after , but over all I enjoyed it and the characters are relatable and easy to love. There are so many great quotes and moments in this story.

The screen adaptation is just as much enjoyable and wonderful as the novel. I think the producers did an excellent job. I highly recommend both the novel and the tv show.
