Review by Brynn Haley, grade 10
Looking for Alaska is a book that ponders the subject of life and death, and how they are influential on each other, through the perspective of a boy named Pudge and through the life and death of a quirky girl named Alaska Young.
Miles Halter, AKA Pudge, is obsessed with famous last words. The last words of Simon Bolivar are the ones that haunt Pudge the most: "How will I ever get out of this labyrinth?" After a terrible accident, Pudge must contemplate this question and more, and he is driven to find answers to love, life, and death.
Looking for Alaska is a great read that anyone can surely get something out of. If you enjoyed this title, I also recommend Paper Towns by John Green.
