Looking for Alaska, By John Green is a tragic story told by a boy named Miles Halter, aka Pudge. He leaves home to go to a boarding school, to seek his next adventure. He meets The Colonel, Takumi, Lara and Alaska. They are the typical highshool weirdos. Miles has a bit of a crush on Alaska, but she has a sad past and a boyfriend. Instead Miles and Alaska become close friends. They seek their adventures by plotting pranks against The Eagle, the camp counselor and the weekday warriors, the crazy rich cool kids. I loved this book a lot. Pudge’s protagonist point of view gives you a different type of story and a different outlook on things. I would recommend this book to anybody, male or female, young or old. This story is tragic and different. It shows Pudge’s undying courage in life. I think we could all learn something from him.
