Looking for Alaska

John Green

Although not John Green's best book this book is an amazing first novel. The book centres around Miles Halter during his first year at boarding school and His relationship with the other borders at the school, especially Alaska Young: Smart, sexy and self destructive.

The book is separated into two halves before and after an event that will change the way Miles sees the world.

Like all John Green's novels Looking for Alaska is a wee bit geeky and a wee bit philosophical. While the first half is full of fun and games the later parts of the book will make you think. A must read for all John Green fans and a great introduction to this great teen author for anyone else.

(Reviewed by Donald)
