A review by rouver
Looking for Alaska, by John Green
3.0
A story about a boy who journeys to a private school as a junior in search of his "Great Perhaps." He falls in w/ a group of kids who enjoy pulling pranks & are pitted against the "Weekday Warriors"...the rich kids who can go home on the weekends. Clearly something tragic happens because this is a John Green book. The 2nd half of the book focuses on the characters' reactions to the tragedy & them investigating the mystery of 'why' and 'how.'
I enjoyed Green's "The Fault in Our Stars" so I decided to try another one of his. Not the typical kind of book I pick up, and it's pretty good & the author does his best to tug at your heartstrings (nice try, but no dice on making me cry on this one, John).
I'd definitely recommend it to my friends who aren't the big sci-fi/fantasy types.
