Looking for Alaska by John Green
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Have I read anything else from this author? Yes, I've read The Fault in Our Stars and Paper Towns.
Was this book better than this author's other book(s)? I still think The Fault In Our Stars is the best of the three.
Was this book enjoyable? Parts of it were enjoyable and parts of it were very sad.
Did I learn anything new from this book? I learned about the last words of some famous people, since that's the interest of the main character, Miles "Pudge" Halter. (Exceptionally thin, Pudge has an ironic nickname.)
Where did I get this book? I bought this book from the Book Rack at 1930 E. Stop 13 Road, Greenwood, Indiana. I was under no obligation to review it.
Do I recommend this book to other readers? Yes, if they're not going to get too sad by the sad things that happen.
Here's a fun fact about this book: John Green got the name "Alaska" from the Velvet Underground song "Stephanie Says."
