Summary from goodreads.com

Another amazing book from an Author I personally couldn't wait to trial. John Green's Looking for Alaska fulfilled all my highest expectations, written with a series of 'journal type' entries the books form was unique and easily a compulsive 'page turner'. I enjoyed the book through and through but found myself less enthusiastic two-thirds through when the book began to wind down to its conclusion too early in my opinion. I enjoyed the rare perspective of a male lead character and the fiery personality of Alaska, the varying contrasting emotions between characters serve to highlight and improve the portrayal of the relationships in the plot making the characters 3D and realistic. Another great book in the 'slice of life' / teen romance genre.
