In Looking for
Alaska, the author does a great job of getting you into each characters life. You
really feel like you know them when you are done reading the book. He captures
every moment so well, with all the details he provides and the descriptions.
After every chapter you want to read more. I personally could not put the book
down. The love Miles has for Alaska is so sweet and endearing. John Green makes
you fall in love with the characters and every emotion they feel you feel.
Leading up to Alaska’s death I was actually scared and worried for her. This
book is most appropriate to teens in high school. Teens that like books with a
messed up love story and some suspense and drama will need to pick up this
book. It is one of John Green’s best works. Ally
