For my independent reading this term, I read Looking for Alaska. The author was John Green. I am very passionate about this book and was quick to read because it was so hard to stop reading. From the beginning of this book, I knew it would be interesting. It starts off with a boy named Miles, a junior in high school, wants to find his Great Perhaps (a turning point in his life) which includes him going to a boarding school. When he gets there he meets Chip, nicknamed “the colonel”, who he becomes good friends with. Then he meets Alaska Young who he instantly likes and then everything leads up to one day before. Once the after days go by, he finds his Great Perhaps. The most interesting part of the book is the setup of it and how it is unlike any other books. Instead of chapters, it has days before and then when it reaches up to that day, it starts saying days after. I also like how each character in the book is unique in their own way. Some other books John Green has written are The Fault in Our Stars, Paper Towns, and many others. This book is composed very well. While I was reading this book, I didn’t feel like I had to because I would have read even if I didn’t have to. This is by far one of the best books I have ever read and I like how different it is from other books. I recommend this book to girls.
