First drink. First prank. First friend. First love.
Last words.
Miles Halter is fascinated by famous last words—and tired of his safe life at home. He leaves for boarding school to seek what the dying poet François Rabelais called the “Great Perhaps.” Much awaits Miles at Culver Creek, including Alaska Young, who will pull Miles into her labyrinth and catapult him into the Great Perhaps.
Looking for Alaska brilliantly chronicles the indelible impact one life can have on another. A modern classic, this stunning debut marked #1 bestselling author John Green’s arrival as a groundbreaking new voice in contemporary fiction.

Before
The before part is really good the "after" part isn't :(
Flawless
This book was undeniably magnificent! It was impossible to let go of. John Green has rocketed his way to the top stop of my preferred author list. I recommend it to anyone 14-25 without a doubt!
YES
This book was actually written with such depth that you can really understand the way each of the characters look and how they look at themselves. Its very well written and I am not one to always get into books but I found myself drawn to this one after two pages. THANK U JOHN GREEN. You've done it once again.
