"Sixteen-year-old Miles' first year at Culver Creek Preparatory School in Alabama includes good friends and great pranks, but is defined by the search for answers about life and death after a fatal car crash." --

Meh

I like John Green's writing but I didn't connect with this story enough to even really remember it after all this time. Even though I've remembered the rest of the books I've read from the same time period. I don't think I connected with the characters very much.

How will I ever get out of this labyrinth

Having read John Green's books in a rather haphazard order I've gotten used to his way of ending stories with hope sans joy, but Looking For Alaska was too much of an emotional gut punch. If this was his first book, I'm not even slightly surprised he's had the successful career he's had since. It's just beautiful.
