Looking for Alaska by John Green

2.0

To be honest I didn't really like this book. It was too hyped up in my opinion which may have added to my high expectations. Excessive smoking and drinking are involved which led to the characters making stupid decisions. Half way through the book I was getting sick of it especially the continued excessive drinking and smoking- two things that I completely go against. From the beginning I knew something was going to happen to alaska I just didn't know how and the timing of her death did catch me off guard . When Alaska died I didn't really feel sad or upset. I feel like readers never really know her enough to miss her loss. In addition uncovering how and why Alaska died the way she did was intriguing at first but then it got boring because it was dragged on so much which didn't make the book enjoyable .
