![]() ![]() Perhaps as a teenager, this would have more resonance. There are never adequate answers in these types of situations and the living must simply attempt to go on living. ![]() I will admit, I kept waiting for the big reveal - for some piece of evidence that would answer one of the main questions that the plot poses, but I guess that is much of the point. What you will get is page upon page of teenagers waxing philosophically and asking big questions about life. This is not the novel for a reader who wishes for a great deal of action - there is very little. The teen angst dial was a little too high and I found it difficult to feel anything for the characters or their situation. They drank a lot, smoked a lot and swore a lot. They were not particularly friendly or caring. I found the characters to be generally unlikeable. I loved The Fault In Our Stars and was looking for the same type of connection with the characters. It is difficult to discuss this, and difficult to write a review without giving away the big event - so I will try to discuss other factors. ![]() Looking for Alaska is split into Before and After some mysterious event. The Gist: During his first day at Culver Creek Boarding School Miles "Pudge" Halter meets the strange in enigmatic Alaska Young and nothing will ever be the same. Not something that would ever grab my attention except for the name John Green. This and other reviews can be found on Reading Between ClassesĬover Impressions: Meh. ![]()
