First drink, first prank, first friend, first girl, last words - this is a poignant and moving crossover novel about making friends and growing up from American author, John Green. Miles Halter is fascinated by famous last words - and tired of his safe, boring and rather lonely life at home. 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. Clever, funny, screwed-up, and dead sexy, Alaska will pull Miles into her labyrinth and catapult him into the Great Perhaps. "Looking for Alaska" brilliantly chronicles the indelible impact one life can have on another.

Looking for Alaska is an amazing book, I cried twice. I would definately recommend buying this book as it will make you think about your own life, engage your morals and help you to understand how hard it can be while "growing up".
John Green in writing this book clearly did not forget to be awesome.
Amazing

This novel by John Green is astounding, its engaging and gripping from the first page to the last!
Looking For Alaska is fun, entertaing and heart wrenching!
Although classed as 'young adult' fiction, i would advise everyone to read it. Its a beautifully written story about coming of age and the trials and sufferings that go with it. But bewarned, this book will make u laugh and cry with out warning!
