I chose to read looking for Alaska for my summer reading project. I chose it for a couple reasons. The author really caught my attention while I was reading the list. John Green wrote one of my favorite books, The Fault in Our Stars. He does a great drop of adding in love, tragedy and comedy without making it sappy. There were personal connections between me and the novel once I finished it. The main one being loss. We have all lost a loved one, which is what makes this story so relatable. Another one being sadness. Alaska felt sadness throughout her whole life and Miles after Alaska’s death. We have all also felt sadness in our lives, some more than others.
One thing I would like to say before I continue is that Looking for Alaska is an amazing book. I would mainly recommend this book to young adults. No younger than 13 because of some of its content. The book relates in things that young adults are going through. School, first loves, loss, friends and new experiences. We can relate, which is a great thing when you’re reading. It makes the book better, it makes you want to read; which can be hard for young adults to want to do.
