This is the first book I read this year( I dunno why it took me so long to get to it!) and I am glad I did! John Green is definitely becoming one of my favorite authors. Looking For Alaska is his first book. The writing is so refreshing and honest.
Its the story of Miles Halter, a shy boy who likes to read biographies and remember last words of famous people. the story is about how he settles in his new boarding school, Culver Creek where he meets his first friends, has his first drink, smokes his first cigarette, meets his first girl friend, experiences his first kiss and how he copes with different situations and aspects of his new changed life.
I felt that some parts of the story were a little predictable but the way it was presented was really fresh, hearty and honest. Its beautifully written. Its passionate, sad, inspiring, hilarious, character-driven and truly deserves the awards it has won.
