Product Description:
Miles Halter is fascinated by famous last words – and tired of his safe life at home. He leaves for boarding school to seek what the dying poet Francois Rabelais called the “Great Perhaps.” Much awaits Miles at Culver Creek, including Alaska Young. Clever, funny, screwed-up, and dead sexy, Alaska will pull Miles into her labyrinth and catapult him into the Great Perhaps.

Miles Halter is sixteen years old, and in his first year away at Culver Creek, a boarding school in central Alabama. A lot of what happens to Miles as he adjusts to dorm life feels very real -- it reminds me of my first year away at college.

Looking for Alaska is, without a doubt, the best book that I have ever read. It's proof that teen lit doesn't have to be dumbed-down idiocy.

I loved this book, but had no idea it was for grades 9 and up until after I read it. I looked on amazon.com and wow was I surprised when I found out it was for Young Adults. From my point of view it's not so kosher for kids because there is plenty of descriptive adult elements in it. But nonetheless, John Green is a refreshingly talented and creative story teller. What I liked most was that the characaters were all "smart kids" and Green adds very interesting, intelligent tidbits throughout the ... Read More

Looking for Alaska is probably one of the most well written books I have ever read. It flows smoothly, and makes you feel different emotions with every turn of the page! While reading Alaska, I found myself laughing, crying, and really thinking about some of the parts in the book. It's one of those books that will stay with you forever and touch your heart. I suggest this to any reader! You wont regret it. Thank you John Green for making such a brillant book!
