Reviews for Looking for Alaska
A good read
I first read this back in college, I rather liked it. Bit quirky and a lil out there but a good read. Looking forward to reading it again. by KiraLee Harvey

This book is amazing and really realistic. There's not much I can really say, I just finished reading it and I was blown away! by alice cerqueira
under reviewGreat!
There seem to be a lot of young adult novels out at the moment, often touted as the next great coming of age story, yet more often than not are disappointing. But this book really does capture the pain and joy and confusion that comes with being a teenager and growing up. Looking for Alaska follows a teenage boy as he moves to a new school, meets new friends and a new girl. The story sounds simple, but John Green (from the amazing vlogbrothers on YouTube) helps you remember all the awkwardness of adolescence with humour and poignancy. Looking for Alaska will stay with you and you will enjoy every page. by H.
