Hi everyone!
If I had to describe myself in one world, I can easily say bookworm. I love books and might be a little addicted. Where I only had a few books in the past, my collection has been growing over the past few years. Today I'll show you a book I really like and is one of my faves of the moment.
I'm talking about John Green's first published novel. The Fault In Our Stars was the first book that I read of John Green and it made me an absolute John Green fan, so I started collecting all of his books. Then I bought Looking for Alaska, the story sounded very exciting, so I was excited to! Today I'll be telling you a bit about the book and what I thought of it!

Well, a short story about this amazing book:
The book is about Miles Halter, who thinks his life is extremely boring. He loves to remember people's last words, and one of them is something about a great perhaps, it was derived from a French poem. So he went looking for hís Great Perhaps. He went to Culver Creek, a boarding school, and there his life changes completely. He meets the beautiful, young, full of adventure Alaska. Miles - also known as Pudge - has an enormous crush on her. He also meets Colonel, his roommate who calls him Pudge. He makes a lot of new friends and Pudge learns a lot about life at Culver Creek, like smoking, drinking and how to make sure he doesn't get busted. Alaska is the one who gets all the cigarettes, sells them and the brain behind a lot of the dirty tricks. She's loved by a lot of people. Pudge is having the time of his life.
But then one night, Alaska mentions that she needs to do something and needs to go. But she never turns back.. In the second part of the book Pudge and his friends are trying to find out what exactly happened to her..
When I bought Looking for Alaska I thought it might even be better than The Fault in Our Stars. The story appealed to me. While The Fault in Our Stars is very sugary, is Looking for Alaska more of a mystery. It's certainly, without any doubt, a John Green book, amazingly written. Even though the first part was good, not extremely good (I mean it was a little bit boring, because there didn't really happen that much, still nice though), was the second part way more interesting. There happened a lot and that was the point when I realized that I found my new favourite John Green-book.
Alltogether it's a great book, with a kind of mystery touch and even a bit romanticism. If I should rate book I'd give it a 8/10. So definitely a recommandation!
See you next time!
Love,
Anne
