Why did I read the book: John Green is right now, one of my favorite writers. Looking for Alaska brilliantly chronicles the indelible impact one life can have on another. Clever, funny, screwed-up, and dead sexy, Alaska will pull Miles into her labyrinth and catapult him into the Great Perhaps. He leaves for boarding school filled with cautious optimism, to seek what the dying poet Francois Rabelais called the “Great Perhaps.” Much awaits Miles at Culver Creek, including Alaska Young.
