Looking for Alaska by John Green

  "Looking for Alaska" by John Green is compelling, brilliant, and absolutely insightful. It is one of my new favorite books. The author takes you through the exciting journey of three friends, Miles "Pudge", Chip "The Colonel", and the utterly fascination Alaska Young, who steals Pudge's heart and pulls him into her crazy world. 

  Miles Halters entire life has been one big nonevent. He is obsessed with finding his "Great Perhaps" (Francois Rabelais, poet) and is willing to try anything to get it.  He leaves him home and heads off to the crazy, unstable, and anything but boring Culver Creek boarding school, and his life turns upside down when he meets Alaska Young and Chip. They teach him about the complicated rules of Culver Creek, and what not to do. He falls in love with Alaska, who is an event in herself, and finally lets him live life to the fullest, launching him into the Great Perhaps. 

  This is one of the most interesting books I have ever read, it's simple yet complex plot, it's intricate characters and relationship, and it's elaborate details. It is amazing to go inside the world of Culver Creek and its students, you feel like you're a student yourself, and most importantly, you feel the agonizing pain that the entire student body and faculty experiences when the amazing Alaska Young goes missing.
