Looking for Alaska
By: John Green
Genre: YA
Pages: 231
Published: 2006
Read: May
3 out of 5 stars
Another coming-of-age novel that I
feel all teens can enjoy. I feel the story portrays enough aspects of teen life
to be relevant to all teens in one facet or another – from love, school, drugs,
and friendships. It shares characteristics
with Perks of Being a Wallflower by
Stephen Chbosky, however I personally enjoyed the writing style of Looking for Alaska more. Being an adult and reading this novel, I definitely
believe they would be more enjoyed if read while a teen. I have read Will Grayson, Will Grayson by both John
Green and David Levithan and loved it. I highly recommend it.
This is John Green's first YA novel. His website is www.johngreenbooks.com.
