Why this book?

I Looking For Alaska, because it was written by John Green. John Green wrote The Fault In Our Stars which I read and fell absolutely in love with. I read it 3 times, so when I saw that he wrote this book too and had to try it. It turns out, it was just as good as TFIOS, and that anyone who read TFIOS should definitely give Looking for Alaska a try, because if your a true die hard for TFIOS, you would definitely like other books by the author.
I also chose this book because it is a love/romance novel. I just adore books about people finding their true love and has some happy endings, but usually always has a plot twist, and I like surprises. Now, I'm not saying all love stories have surprises, but this one does and if you like those, well then I know Barnes&Noble has some copies.

Why you should consider this book.

I was going to talk about just one section of the book, and it try to persuade you to read it, but there is no one section. After I started reading the first paragraph of Looking for Alaska I couldn’t stop reading. There was no slow start into the book or a rough part to get through that was boring. It starts with a week before the main character, Miles (Pudge), goes away to boarding school; and how he never got in with the crowd at his old school. Now, if you’re a reader like me, you would want to know if he finally finds friends and gets along with his new school. But, when he gets there, he not only finds his true friends, he finds love. Only he doesn't know it yet, and thats what the book is about. It’s a story in the words of a seventeen year old boy who finally finds friends, gets to know a girl he fell in love with day one, and just talks about his life in Culver Creek High. If that isn't enough for you, there is a Before and After, so you know something big is going to happen or a major plot twist. So it is a book you will get hooked on and can't finish until the end. Until the After.
