Looking for Alaska - By John Green

The book, Looking for Alaska, by John Green is about this group that likes to pull pranks off campus to other students and teachers. This young teen named Miles Halter, nicknamed Pudge, before he went to Alabama for boarding school, his life would change forever. His life will no longer be safe and everything will change. He gets into a group that does pranks off campus in Alabama. Pudge gets in love with this girl named Alaska in the group. But Alaska was always a mysterious girl. She never talked about her past. Everyone else did, why not her? Once Pudge, starts going out with her, he starts to realize what has happened in her past and realizes why she likes to do pranks. But one night, Alaska goes missing and no one knows what has happened to her. Did she die, commit suicide, or went somewhere, where she can be alone? Who knows but what really caused her to leave everyone's life, was because of her past, and knew that everyone would not look at her the same if they ever found out.

In my opinion, this book was really phenomenal because I love mystery books, where you don't know what happened in the book, where the book makes you go on and on to read it and find out. In the beginning of the book, it was a little boring but then towards the middle there was a mystory and st the end, I found out the real cause of what cause Alaska to leave everyone's lives. My favorite quote was, "The only way out of the labyrinth of suffering is to forgive." It was favorite quote because in life, we have to learn to forgive, if not, we will always live with hate, and life is to short to be hating on anybody else. We are all human, we need to forgive others because we all do mistakes. Overall, I liked this book, as it went on, it kept getting intense, which got me really into it. There was also a lot of imagery because the author used so much description.
