Looking For Alaska cannot be merely written off as a typical boy-meets-girl love story, because it isn’t. It’s more of a tale of how love isn’t as translucent as it seems.
The beauty of the book is that it doesn’t hide anything. It showcases what young love and growing up really are in a brutal and honest light. How the characters communicate, their relationships with each other, their pasts and the pleasure that comes with being a bad kid shine through the pages. Why I prefer John Green’s debut novel to his other ones is because he’s made no effort to make it an appropriate and proper book. You’ll get attached to Miles and Alaska, just as they do to each other.
My fellow nerdfigters; you shall read a book that shall be placed as a crowning jewel on top of the classics lists; a book that all who have read shall give proudly to their children and say "Let this help you fing your Great Perhaps."
