Review: Looking For Alaska by John Green (SLIGHT SPOILERS)

[Chelssjames]

Two nights ago I finished reading Looking For Alaska by John Green. Just wow! I literally felt every single emotion there was to possibly feel whilst reading that book. It was so fluent to read I couldn't put it down.

Before hand I had been told what had happened to Alaska and I thought to myself that I wasn't even going to bother to pick it up to find out how it happened and what happened after. But I was wrong.

It's the type of story that makes you thrive for that young American lifestyle and to not have a care in the world.

The main reason why I enjoyed it so much is because it was not your average boy meets girl and they lived happily ever after story. It had depth and reason and meaning in every single word.

It also made me really think about a lot of things, for example, religion. Personally I am not a religious person but it had me thinking about why religion is so important to them and why people look to religion. I even provided my own question for Dr. Hyde's "what is the most important question a person could ask?" Mine was 'why are we here?'

It's a book that makes you think, even about the littlest things; about Alaska, about life & death and even making you realise how something as simple as a doodle of a daisy is so precious to someone in so many ways.

It makes you think about the great perhaps.
